Record crowd descends on Maple Park Fun Fest

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK – Good weather led to a large turnout during Maple Park Fun Fest held Sept. 3 to 5.

More vehicles than were originally expected ended up participating in the annual car show Sept. 4, while the side streets were lined with an overflow crowd during the parade.

“We definitely had more people than I can ever recall at the parade,” volunteer Brittany Altepeter said.

“The weather was fantastic, so it was nice to see such a great turnout.”

Sugar Grove resident Becky Cormier recognized that the parade was far smaller than the one she recently attended at Elburn Days, but the enthusiasm of those who were participating in it, as well as those who were attending, was notable.

“That little town seems to have a lot of heart,” Cormier said. “My daughter Rachel marched in the parade and the rest of us came here to cheer her on.

There are a lot of band families here, which is nice. Everyone seemed to have a good time.”

This year’s car show included 163 vehicles.

“This is the fifth year we’ve been doing [the car show] and it’s the largest number of cars we’ve ever had,” said Melissa Brady, who helps run the show. “We were planning for 150 cars, tops, so to have 163 was very exciting.”

Brady agreed that the weather helped with attendance, but she said that advertising efforts really spread the word.

“We did a really good job of advertising at all the local car shows,” Brady said. “I just think the good word spread and we’ve been growing every year already, so this was nice to see.”

The car show increased the number of awards it gave out this year to 12, and as it continues to be successful, organizers said it’s likely to be wellsought every year to come.

“It’s becoming bigger and better, which is exciting,” Brady said. “I saw some unique cars, including one that I was told that I would probably never see again in my lifetime, which was pretty cool.”

First place was awarded to a 1957 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery.

While there was plenty of fun under the sun Sept. 4, the night was owned by fireworks.

“It’s Americana at its finest,” Elburn resident Joe Kryszak said. “I’m 72 years old and I found myself sitting at the baseball field watching these fireworks and laughing because they were so amazing. It was such a nice deal.”

Such a nice one that Kryszak’s

9-year-old grandson Nick opted to attend Maple Park Fun Fest rather than head to Navy Pier in Chicago.

“He remembered it from last year and chose to watch them here,” Kryszak said. “Everything is so nicely done here and they had Back Country Roads perform, which is a pretty big band. It’s a wonderful event.”

Similar feedback was common.

“Just getting out and supporting another town is a nice thing to do,” said Genoa resident Mickey Pluth, who was visiting with his two grandchildren.

“Enjoying the good weather, some good food and laughs. That’s what I like.”

“I think this fest is a great community event,” Maple Park resident Lynda Fillipp said. “The Maple Park community really comes together on everything. The softball tournament, the parade, the music, the car show and the amazing breakfast at the American Legion. The fireworks display was fantastic. It was a wonderful way to spend the last weekend of summer. And you can’t forget the loaded baked potatoes from the Methodist church ladies.”

I try to take advantage of every minute of every day. I try to say “yes” to most opportunities handed to me. So when asked about going up in a plane as part of the Experimental Aviation Association’s Aviation Foundation Young Eagles children’s flight day at the Aurora Municipal Airport in Sugar Grove, I of course said “YES!” I loaded up into a Cessna 172 with pilot Mark Hilsop of Montgomery and a pair of Kaneland Harter Middle School eighth-graders. Hilsop tried to sell the front, co-captain seat to Charline Rivera of Montgomery and Madi Hubble of Sugar Grove, but they opted to ride in the back seat together.

Hilsop said he enjoys the time flying with his young charges and giving back to the charity while being able to pursue his “expensive hobby.”

Farmers – those with livestock in particular – have a saying: “Some days you step in it, some days you don’t.”

Today, as summer wanes, I’d like you all to remember that phrase and take it to heart. Because there’s a seasonal form of unpleasantness out there, and the last thing I’d want to hear is that someone has stepped in it – well, on it, actually – and is now in a world of hurt.

The “it,” in this case, is the underground nest of yellow jacket wasps.

Although yellow jacket colonies sometimes develop in attics or between exterior and interior walls of homes, and occasionally in hollow logs and trees, most of the time these social insects build their empires in abandoned rodent burrows and empty root channels. If you accidentally step on or otherwise disturb them, you’re going to get stung. No doubt about it.

Yellow jackets fearlessly defend themselves and their colony with painful stings powered by a combination of peptides and enzymes that pack a powerful punch. It’s a pop that, oftentimes, seems to come out of nowhere.

Their numbers start small. As springtime’s warmth creeps into leaf litter and fallen logs, new yellow jacket queens awake from their long winter’s nap – also known as diapause, the insect equivalent of hibernation.

Having mated the previous fall, these fertile females emerge ready to start the year’s new colonies.

Each queen seeks out what she deems a suitable cavity and goes right to work, creating a small paper nest with just a few hexagonal cells. She deposits one egg in each cell, then sets about the task of raising her brood.

Fed a protein-rich diet of masticated insects, the larvae grow quickly and soon become the first of thousands of sterile females, also known as workers, that will keep the society flourishing until the first heavy frost sets in.

You read that right! Despite wasps’ reputation as reviled bearers of stingers and venom, these insects provide a valuable service. They help control populations of insects such as flies that can become troublesome in their own right. This predatory nature is one of several characteristics that differentiate wasps from bees, the insects with which they are often confused.

Because the colony grows gradually, it can be easy to overlook. I remember several years ago having a yellow jacket colony develop right outside my front door, in an old chipmunk hole.

I saw occasional wasps throughout the summer but it wasn’t until late

Chance of yellow jacket sting high this season

Unlike honeybees, which can sting only once, yellow jacket wasps sting repeatedly, writes Pam Otto, manager of nature programs and interpretive services at the Hickory Knolls Discovery Center.

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto August that I noticed steady traffic concentrated in one area. I looked a little closer and, sure enough, German yellow jackets had made themselves at home, at my home.

These imports, Vespula germanica, are the nonnative representative among the handful of vespid species that can occur in our area. They first appeared in the U.S. in the 1970s, on the East Coast. Some accounts state that they were stowaways in shipments of lumber. Regardless of how they got here, they have spent the ensuing decades spreading throughout the country, aggressively commandeering territory and displacing native species as they go.

So the other day it was with some surprise – a tiny bit of delight, actually – that I realized a colony of yellow jackets I’ve been keeping an eye on actually are not the pervasive V. germanica. Rather, they’re V. maculi-

frons, the eastern yellow jacket.

Do these gals defend their colony?

Yes. Can they sting? You betcha. But they’re part of our native ecology.

They might be ornery, but as we alluded to earlier, they’re also programmed to capture maggots, grubs and caterpillars – many of which will overpopulate if left controlled.

This time of year, though, yellow jacket queens are aging. Larvae production is on the wane and demand for insects is down. Worker wasps still have to eat, though, and new queens need to pack on the fat reserves needed to survive the cold weather months.

As a result, sugary foods – anything from plant nectars and fermenting fruits to pop and beer – are in high demand. Which means the risk of stings goes up.

This year, the chances of getting stung are higher. Thanks to a mild winter, which resulted in high rate of queen survival, and a wet spring and summer, yellow jackets right now are everywhere.

Should you, during your outdoor ramblings, happen to notice a lot of flying insects in a certain area, pay

close attention. It could be something as innocuous as flies visiting a pile of you-know-what – material you don’t want to step in but can endure even if you do.

If, however, on closer inspection, you see that the insects are boldly striped, and flying in and out of a hole in the ground, take special care.

You’ve found a yellow jacket nest.

Steer clear! This time of year the colony will contain thousands of individuals, many of which will mobilize at the merest hint of a threat.

If the nest is on your property and you want it removed, call a professional. If you don’t want it removed – remember, the colony’s old queen and her many loyal workers will all die come winter – that’s fine, too. Just be sure to remember where the entrance to the nest is. Don’t step in it, on it or anywhere near it.

Pam Otto is the manager of nature programs and interpretive services at the Hickory Knolls Discovery Center, a facility of the St. Charles Park District. She can be reached at 630-5134346 or potto@stcparks.org.

New St. Charles vet practice puts pets’ comfort first ST. CHARLES – Opening her own veterinary practice was, as Vicki Petsche put it, a big jump.

But, she said, it allowed her to participate in the Fear Free movement, which aims to reduce the anxiety of doctor visits for pets.

Operating Loyal Companions in that way has “really been so rewarding,” Petsche said during a tour of the animal hospital and pet resort at 2312 W. Main St. in St. Charles.

Petsche, who has practiced in the area since 2000, began working with an architect familiar with the Fear Free movement in March 2015, she said.

She said construction on the building, which formerly housed Sunshine Lighting, began the following December.

Loyal Companions opened in the spring and is filled with features with the pets’ comfort in mind, including a scale recessed in the floor, cages with horizontal bars and a walk-in tub for grooming purposes.

It offers services for cats and dogs – but don’t expect to see the two mingling.

As part of the Fear Free mission, Loyal Companions has separate entrances for dogs and cats. The felines even get their own red carpet entrance – literally.

The building was constructed so that cats will never have to see, hear or smell a dog, Petsche said.

Instead of beginning their visit in a waiting room, Petsche said the animals immediately go into an exam room. Every exam room has an exterior window and is equipped with music designed to help calm dogs and cats, she said.

Other features in the exam rooms include exam ottomans for the dogs and shelving for cats to jump on, along with a cubby for them to hide in.

Loyal Companions is “like grandma’s house” because treats are used to distract animals during their visit, Petsche said, adding that the snacks help her perform certain procedures without pets noticing.

A comfort room also is available for people dealing with the loss of a pet. Petsche said she wanted to make that space as homey, peaceful and quiet as possible.

Because the work can be emotionally charged, Petsche said she was adamant that Loyal Companions also have an outdoor serenity garden for staff in addition to the indoor staff lounge.

Sugar Grove gym features Zumba, company

If you go

editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – On a recent Friday inside a spacious karate room, four local women worked up a sweat with Zumba.

Rocky’s Dojo and Gym, located at 46 Terry Drive in Sugar Grove, hosts these Latin-inspired dance workouts.

Maribel Rodriguez leads the class.

With the help of translators, Rodriguez explained in Spanish what makes Zumba so great. “[Being able to] dance, [and] to tone and lose weight,” she said.

Rodriguez said that she formerly weighed more than 200 pounds. After doing Zumba for six months, she lost 82 pounds, she said.

Zumba started with the students marching with their arms out and hands waving to the tune, “It’s My Life.”

Rodriguez wore a baseball cap backward, leggings, a workout top and had a black sweater wrapped around her waist as a skirt.

The class did grapevines and jazz squares as the party music played on.

“Good morning,” Rodriguez said to the class.

Soon, a Spanish rap song played, asking “Qué passa?”

The ladies clapped in unison and did varied jumping jacks, along with some waist shaking.

Rodriguez stopped to check in on the students and smiled brightly.

The class let out a “Whoo!” and grabbed their water bottles for a drink.

The rest of the workout included squats, more dancing, leg lifts and a hint of sass.

Rodriguez’ makeshift skirt

Zumba classes are offered Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The cost is $5 per class. Registration is not required.

For information, call 630-466-7414.

Instructor Maribel Rodriguez leads the Zumba class at Rocky’s Dojo and Gym in Sugar Grove on Aug. 26. swished. She cued her class quietly with her hands as the music played.

Sugar Grove resident Pat Stuart said she’s lost 18 pounds since February from doing Zumba.

“It’s a great group of people,” Stuart said. “They’re extremely supportive. It’s a lot of fun, and it’s just a great camaraderie between all of the people that are here taking it. And Maribel the instructor is wonderful.”

Sugar Grove resident Janine Gallien said she personally lost about seven pounds and a couple of inches

throughout her body.

“I love the people,” Gallien said. “I like the way it makes me feel, and [improves my] mental health. I just got done taking care of my dad for three years. He passed away and I felt bad, bad, bad. And started coming here. ...

[Now I] feel better, better, better.”

Arcenia Troutman, a Hinckley resident, is the daughter of co-owner Rocky Troutman.

Wearing a pink headband, and sporting an up-do, Troutman explained what she likes about Zumba.

“It’s such a stress reliever,” Troutman said. “You just have fun while doing it. You don’t think about anything else.

And it doesn’t feel like a workout. And then afterward, you just feel so good.”

Troutman’s mother Angelica Troutman also does Zumba.

“I’m a stay-at-home mom,” Angelica Troutman said. “So I love to have girlfriends around me. This makes more friends for me to talk to. … We’ve become a family here.”

Ron Troutman, co-owner, explained the benefits of Zumba himself.

“Regular exercise – it’s boring,” Ron Troutman said. “... Like riding a bicycle going nowhere, or lifting weights and all of that strenuous stuff.

This is a super cardio workout and it really hits every muscle in your body.”

Elburn teen opera singer discovers passion for cinematography

By SUZANNE FLYNN editorial@kcchronicle.com

M

ELBURN

adison Kleba, 18, of Elburn began singing at an early age. Whether it was around the house or in the church choir, by the second grade her parents knew she really had something special and decided to enter her in a vocal competition.

Although she had no solo experience, she earned a semifinalist award in the Elgin Opera’s vocal competition by singing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” and caught the eye of one of the local judges, Solange Sior.

“I started taking weekly private lessons with Solange and she took me under her wing,” Kleba said.

“Many may not believe it, but I was very shy and my voice was high like a mouse. She helped shape me and helped me become the person I am today.”

While working with Sior for 10 years, Kleba performed in recitals, at concerts and in local voice competitions.

“Madison is a hardworking young lady, and [an] overall nice, nice, girl,” Sior said. “She was never a diva – always wonderful to the little kids and a great mentor to others.”

Not only can she sing, but she can also act. Kleba has performed in more than 40 musicals and plays since she was 5 years old.

She has been very involved in the Children’s Theatre of Elgin & Fox Valley Theatre Company ever since she was in second grade. She has been cast as the lead role in many productions, such as the Sea Witch in “The Little Mermaid;” Wendy in “Peter Pan;” Mayzie in “Seussical;” and Magenta in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.”

Once Kleba began high school,

theater wasn’t appealing to her as much. She decided to try pursuing modeling, and went to Chicago to get her headshots done. But she was not happy with the photos.

Kleba found herself asking the photographer a lot of questions about how and why. She learned that photography was more of her calling, so she started her own photography company and began doing work for friends and family.

“I began taking photographs and doing videotaping for friends, and even Solange’s business,” Kleba said. “I liked what I was doing and learned I was really good at it.”

Kleba has even gone as far as pursuing an education in cinematography at Montana State University. She is really interested in editing – particularly putting the finishing touches on music videos.

“I am so proud of Madison for leaving home and pursuing her dreams,” Sior said. “It’s hard for teenagers to do that today, especially to go into a field where there is not a lot of money. You only do that when you really have a strong passion for something like she does.”

OUR VIEW

Don’t give up on redistricting One vote is all that stood in the way of the Independent Map Amendment being approved by the Illinois Supreme Court for placement on the Nov. 8 ballot.

On a party-line ruling last month, the four Democratic Supreme Court justices struck down the proposed redistricting reform amendment, while the three Republican Supreme Court justices favored allowing it to go before the voters.

The Supreme Court, by its 4-3 vote, sided with a Cook County judge who had ruled the proposed constitutional amendment unconstitutional.

Thus, the second attempt in two years to reform a secretive redistricting process controlled by politicians with little public involvement, which is unfair to minorities, skews election results, stifles competition, and thwarts the will of the people, has failed.

We disagreed with Cook County Judge Diane Larsen’s ruling in July.

We disagree with the Illinois Supreme Court’s ruling from last month.

Justice Thomas Kilbride, writing an opinion for the majority, centered the court’s argument on an extremely narrow interpretation of the citizen initiative portion of the Illinois Constitution.

More than 563,000 Illinoisans who signed petitions supporting the Independent Map Amendment have every right to suspect that the institutions of government, run by self-serving politicians or those beholden to them, want to stifle the public’s input.

Indeed, the proposed 11-member citizen redistricting commission would have been required to be open and

transparent, while removing politics and incumbency from consideration when new legislative districts are drawn every 10 years.

The current redistricting process, for three of the past four decades, is controlled by House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, who has used it to promote his personal political agenda (Democratic supermajorities in the House and Senate).

The latest result of Madigan’s maps will be seen by voters Nov. 8, where in election after legislative election across the state there are no competitive races.

Dennis FitzSimons, chairman of Independent Maps, said the court’s ruling was “extremely disappointing” and that drafters of the Illinois Constitution “would not recognize the interpretation” made by the Supreme Court.

So what’s next?

FitzSimons said a rehearing of the case might be sought.

If not, redistricting reform is officially dead for 2016.

The good news is that this effort very nearly made it across the finish line.

With elections in 2018 and 2020 ahead before the next redistricting cycle, a revised redistricting reform amendment might yet be possible.

Justice Kilbride wrote, “Our decision is not intended to reflect in any way on the viability of other possible redistricting reform initiatives.”

We hope the Independent Maps group, which very nearly succeeded in 2016, will remain together, retool its proposed amendment, and push ahead for needed redistricting reforms in the future.

If Lincoln had been Trumping at Gettysburg Humorist James Thurber’s hilarious essay, “If Grant Had Been Drinking at Appomattox,” imagines the disastrous consequences had General Grant been besotted when meeting General Lee to end the Civil War. My homage to Thurber asks what “The Gettysburg Address” (that most generous and unifying speech written, and delivered on site, by Abraham Lincoln a few days after the Battle of Gettysburg) would have sounded like if the president had been channeling Donald Trump: “Thank you very much.

BEFORE THE DIPLOMA Denise Cartina ticipate more actively during class discussions, or cause them to be more eager to come to class. So, I see no harm in that. On the other hand, might having a good-looking teacher possibly distract a student from learning because they are either so handsome or beautiful? Possibly.

Not that it entirely matters, I’m sure all of you would love to know that since I’ve started attending college I cannot really say that I’ve really had any attractive professors. In fact, most of my professors have ranged in age from being in their late 30s to their early 60s.

Considering it takes some years to earn a degree that qualifies someone to become a professor, this makes sense.

Yet, while growing up, I probably only had one or two teachers that I had a “crush” on. I was talking to my friends the other day about this study, and they too admitted to having several crushes on teachers over the years. It was interesting to hear what my friends did to try to impress

the teacher whom they adored so much.

While having an attractive teacher in class may make students pay more attention during a lecture, I still wonder if this can really substantially make a difference in a student’s grade. After all, it all comes down to each individual student and how they interpret the material taught in class. Just because a teacher is attractive and more students pay attention to them, I don’t think this necessarily means that students will automatically do better on exams.

For any students who have an extremely handsome or gorgeous teacher out there, good for you. I hope your knowledge expands in whatever area your teacher is teaching. For those of you in college – well, just like me, you’re probably out of luck.

SOUND OFF Lochte a disgrace

In regards to the recent Olympics, Mr. [Ryan] Lochte should be ashamed of himself, disgracing his country and his fellow athletes and lying to the authorities. The Olympic committee should suspend him and any others that were involved.

Also, I see the endorsements he was receiving are drying up.

Good luck with that.

Reflecting this Labor Day

To the editor: “Labor Creates All Wealth” is the adage on a poster I have hanging on my kitchen wall circulated by the National Lawyers Guild in 1987. In the past 30 years I have come to realize the weakness of that argument.

Millions spend their life at honest labor, profiting little from their daily toils. They barely eek out their daily bread.

An elderly black gentleman and I relaxing at our health club discussed a possible solution to the gun violence occurring in Chicago. He believed what was needed was manufacturing jobs to be located in the poorest neighborhoods for the young jobless men.

There are more than two sides to that solution and to the many other social problems people in the high crime areas need addressed.

What keeps hard-working families poor, need we count the ways?

At the top of my list is usury and right below that is financial bondage by our own government.

Andrew Carnegie in “The Gospel of Wealth” was adamantly opposed to indiscriminate charity; he viewed it as an obstacle to the improvement of our race.

Those who would administer wealth must be wise and use resources to the benefit of the community.

Socialism/communism written in small letters. It eliminates freedom of choice, enlarges the benefactors’ public image and influence over government. In short, rather than paying his workers a living wage, Carnegie put his name on another building.

Carnegie rejected Christianity and sectarianism and was bent on replacing them and he has; government now is in control of our lives, our financial, educational, medical rights.

The owners of government,

worldwide, are the oligarchs, not our elected representatives. That “one percent” at the top, who now benefit from the masses of underpaid workers, labor not themselves, but utilize usury, wars, our tax dollars, bribery, economic manipulation and loopholes in the laws.

Where does the blame lie?

Let’s begin with religion, Judaism and Christianity. The Bible is replete with moral instructions on usury and war, still the pulpits remain silent. They too have benefited from usury. War is a racket. It does not end poverty, but instead creates more.

As one military man answered a person who thanked him for his service, he replied, “I didn’t serve, I was used.”

On this Labor Day weekend my words of wisdom to the worker is get out of debt; buy what you need, not what you want. And as a double-cross to Carnegie and Bill Gates, get married, stay married, have a large family (three or more), stay out of debt, read the good book. Volunteerism begins at home and with your own family.

In church we get soft words on these crimes – sometimes, but no strong condemnations against these miscarriages of justice and those one percent who rule us.

There’s one way to get students to pay more attention during class: hire attractive teachers. Well, that’s what researchers from University of Nevada found after conducting a recent study.

I first heard about this study one morning before I left for class. I was sitting on my living room couch watching a morning news show, casually sipping my coffee and eating Frosted Flakes by the spoonful, when I heard this interesting statement. It made me think about how legit this information really was.

Paying more attention during class because of a good-looking teacher? Well, that can’t be true at all.

Oh, who am I fooling? Of course an attractive teacher will cause any student to quit drawing little doodles in their notebook and actually pay attention to the teacher in front of the class. It’s nothing new that people generally look at others who catch their eye. If you ask a student of any age, most of them will admit that they either have or have had “crushes’”on teachers.

As silly as it may sound, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Having an attractive teacher can make a student more motivated to learn, par-

A fundraising page has been set up for the Jackman family at gofundme.com/ ryanjackman.

Ryan and Valerie Jackman take a photo Easter morning after Ryan learned he had been matched with a donor for a pancreas transplant.

His ailments continued to add up, and after many years of pain and discomfort, Jackman had surgery to have his pancreas, spleen and a significant portion of his stomach removed. He also was added to the national transplant waiting list for a new pancreas, but simply joining the list didn’t guarantee he’d ever receive a transplant.

According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, the number of people waiting for an organ transplant would fill two large football stadiums.

Jackman, his wife Valerie, and the rest of his family never lost faith, and on Easter they received news that there was a pancreas available and it was a perfect match.

“You don’t have a choice in this matter, so it’s either keep going or give up,” he said. “For me, there’s only one choice, to keeping chugging along and deal with it, and there’s no way I could do it without [Valerie] and my family.”

Faith, including the support that comes from St. Katharine Drexel Catholic Church in Sugar Grove, has played a huge role throughout the difficult times.

A couple weeks ago, a bowling fundraiser was hosted on Jackman’s behalf.

“I believe that their faithful struggle is an inspiration to many, and we’ve got so many people praying for them,” the Rev. Bob Jones of St. Katharine Drexel said. “I feel there have been medical miracles already. I know there have been some difficult bumps in the road,

Every day in the world about 80 people receive organ transplants, according to organdonor.gov.

On the same day, about 22 people die waiting for an organ transplant that never arrives, the website stated.

Yorkville resident Ryan Jackman, 34, is one of the fortunate ones. He received a pancreas transplant earlier this year.

“The average person may think organ donation is a minor thing, but I’m still recovering from the transplant itself,” Jackman said. “I’m taking between 30 to 40 pills a day, but I wouldn’t be here right now if not for my donor.

I would give the world to let the donor know how grateful I am today.”

It’s been a longtime battle for Jackman, who was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at the age of 12.

About five years ago, he learned he also had gastroparesis, which slows or stops the movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine. Jackman’s stomach muscles stopped working normally, making it difficult for him to eat. He lost a lot of weight and found himself hospitalized on countless occasions.

but with God’s grace, I believe they’re going to somehow pull through this.”

While recovering from the transplant, Jackman had other medical issues, including thoracic outlet syndrome, which required the painful removal of one of his ribs. Doctors also learned Jackman had a blood clot in one of his arms and was bleeding internally, so they had to address those two majors concerns as well.

“There were all kinds of big tubes in me draining things out,” he said.

“With the rib removed, breathing was difficult and painful, but I’m doing much better now. Hopefully this is just a hiccup and my last one.”

Jackman remains hopeful he can return to some type of normalcy.

“I spend hours sitting on the couch getting fluids every day, and I’m still going to the hospital twice a week for blood checks and to check on my medications,” he said. “I’ll do whatever it takes. I just want to get back to living a normal life.

“Cleaning the car and house, or just taking the dog for a walk. Those are things I haven’t been able to do, and I hope to get back to work by the end of October. I’m just looking forward to getting back to doing things like that.”

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.

Goals: Enhancing of programs resources, services Charting a course for an unseen future is never easy, but absolutely necessary. The Sugar Grove Public Library is pleased to announce the finalization of a strategic plan to define goals for 2016 to 2020.

In our development process we held two public focus group sessions to hear firsthand what residents thought, and launched a community survey completed by 200 patrons.

Our Board of Trustees and director held a working session to analyze the information and hold frank discussions about priorities. We finalized a plan with the assistance of a consultant identified through the help of the Waubonsee Business Development Center.

During our process we clearly identified our strengths, which include an engaged community, a dedicated staff that works diligently, and of course our beautiful building. Our challenges actually generally tie directly back to lack of funding and public understanding.

What came through clearly is that our public wants collection growth, better hours, professional staff, programming and amenities. Most of what we are not able to do directly ties back to operational restrictions – you can’t run a library without finan-

Everybody wants a great coffee shop – so make sure you check out Modest Coffee with fresh coffee, salads, and sandwiches. Our patrons stated they are pleased with many of the changes we are making, and this reflects back in our growth in usage and enjoyment of newly developed programs.

There are also patrons that want to make sure we do not lose the core of what a library does in providing materials and personal assistance, so please note we do consider books “our brand” although these days they are in many forms.

We also noticed how many times the “little things” are also very important, and so we’ve made a list of to-dos and will check them off one by one.

A variety of statements from patrons seemed to tie into an inaccurate understanding of library history. In a nutshell, when the library was built, free land offers were rescinded or not

viable in that they were more expensive to develop.

Voters did vote yes to build, and the size of the library should not be confused with great ceiling space that is environmentally friendly. I would encourage you to read about the library history, or stop in and say hello.

Our new plan holds five specific broad goals: • enhancement of library programming, resources and services • foster positive community relations through awareness and partnerships • engage and empower a patron-focused staff • ongoing facilities maintenance • strengthen financial security.

I hope that you enjoy our ongoing efforts to meet the goals we have defined, as our success will be of service to our community.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Professional

Skilled Trades and Manufacturing Mega Career Fair

Kenneth Tynan, an English theater critic who died in 1980, said, “A critic is a man who knows the way but can’t drive the car.”

In yesterday’s deal, East failed to cover dummy’s spade jack with his queen because he believed it would save declarer a guess in the suit.

However, he should have realized that declarer knew the layout and not played low. This deal is a tougher example of the same theme.

South was in four spades. What happened after West led a diamond?

East took dummy’s diamond jack with his queen and cashed the club king. (Remember, lead king from aceking and king-queen after trick one.)

When West discouraged with his club three, East cashed the club ace and tried to take the setting trick with the diamond ace, but South ruffed.

Now declarer had to play the trump suit without loss -- how, though?

It looked like he should hope for a doubleton queen somewhere, or for West to have the singleton queen.

But who had the queen?

South was sure that it was West.

Why? East had produced 13 high-card points and seemed to have a balanced hand. If he had the spade queen also, he would have opened one no-trump.

Then, somehow sensing the position, South led his spade jack. West knew the situation, so he covered with his queen. Declarer won with dummy’s king and had to decide if East had started with 10-doubleton (cash the ace) or two low (return to hand in a minor and run the spade nine).

As you can guess, South guessed correctly.

Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com • Thursday, September 8, 2016 • Kendall County Animal Control PET OF THE WEEK Barbarella Barbarella is a very special girl so we had to give her a special name.

She came to us as a stray so we know little about her.

We do know she is tiny, just 34 pounds and she is estimated at 2 years of age. We do not know what happened to this girl, but she looks like she has had a very rough life. She was skinny, and missing fur has some scares and is even missing a toe. We will never understand how a dog can look like it's had such a horrible life and still be so sweet. We all really love this little gal, as she just has a way of tugging at your heartstrings. Come in and meet her she is guaranteed to make you happy and put a smile on your face. She is a lover, a bit of a clown and just an all around great girl. She is so good with other dogs so we use her when we temperament test our new dogs to see if they are dog friendly. So far she has not met a dog she did not like. In person she looks a bit like a pig, and that just adds to her charm. She can get a tad excited when she plays so we think a home with kids 12 and up would be best for her. She will need work on house training too, but with a little effort we know she is going to be someone's very faithful companion for years to come. Stop in at Kendall County Animal Control and meet her today.

She is fully vetted and her adoption fee is 120.00.

Kaneland holds on for win against Geneva

By CHRIS ROLLIN WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK – Kaneland quarterback Jack Douglas found four different receivers for touchdowns and then breathed a huge sigh of relief as he watched time run out on Geneva during a nonconference game Sept. 2.

The Knights survived for a 26-23 win as the former Western Sun Conference foes met for the first time since 2009.

Geneva (1-1) had beaten Kaneland (2-0) six consecutive times dating to 2004, but the Knights were able to hold on this time, making a huge defensive stop as time expired.

“To play a program like this and play a complete game like this is something,” Kaneland coach Tom Fedderly said. “We were thinking we wanted to challenge our kids. We know they’re young, but we think they’re pretty good, so win, lose or draw I was thinking this was going to be a great game for these kids to get us ready for conference, which is going to be tough.”

Douglas connected for a huge 36yard touchdown pass to Jonathan Alstott with 4:21 left in the game to give the Knights a 26-16 lead.

With so little time remaining, the game appeared to be weighing heavily in Kaneland’s favor, but Garret Sneed returned the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown to pull the Vikings to within 26-23.

Geneva’s defense did its part to shut down the Knights and get the ball back, but the Vikings ran out of time.

The visitors appeared destined to rally for the win when they had a thirdand-goal from the 4-yard line with less than 30 seconds remaining, but they were stopped just inches away from scoring the go-ahead touchdown.

With time running down, the Vikings opted to go for the win on fourth down but fumbled the snap away to end the game.

Geneva coach Rob Wicinski said if there had been more time, and if they weren’t so close to scoring, he likely would’ve sent in placekicker Brad King to boot a game-tying field goal.

King had drilled a 29-yarder earlier in the game to make it 20-16 and had a 41yard field goal the previous week.

“We were going to kick a field goal and go into overtime, but we were an inch away,” Wicinski said. “It’s not going to get any better than that. I can’t ask for a better scenario. We didn’t do it, they won, and they deserve that.”

Lance Arni kept the Vikings in the game, collecting 274 rushing yards and scoring twice.

Douglas spread things out for the Knights. He also slung touchdown passes to Jacob Brown, Matt Noel and

“We knew [Jack] would be harassed because Geneva’s defense is so good,” Fedderly said. “We were worried about him being able to move and get rid of the ball, but he did and our receivers Geneva quarterback Kyle Evert looks downfield Sept. 2 in a game against host Kaneland.

North will look to stay undefeated ahead of a Week 4 game against rival St. Charles East. third quarter.

“I had three [touchdowns on Aug. 26], which was awesome because I missed almost all of last season with an injury, but to come out and have three different types of touchdowns was awesome, a great feeling,” Segobiano said.

“I would say the one on defense [felt the best] just because I’ve never scored a defensive touchdown. That one was fun.

“I didn’t even see the ball go up.

Everyone was looking around and I looked up and it kind of just fell in my arms and I was gone after that.”

North (2-0) ran the ball seven times on its nine-play drive to start the game.

After the defense forced a Bartlett three-and-out, the North Stars ran it five times on a nine-play, 69-yard drive that ended with Eric Lins’ 6-yard scoring run with 2:32 left in the first.

Segobiano ran for 24 yards and had 66 yards receiving. Lins ran for a teamhigh 65 yards, and Mettetal added 143 yards passing and 28 yards rushing.

“The idea was to come out fast and get ahead early so we could get them out of their run game offense, and I thought we did that,” North head coach Rob Pomazak said. “I give all the credit to Brian Flynn, our offensive coordina-

“Zach was impressive again this week, Eric ran the ball really well, and Sam [Ambrogio], Zack [Bach], Isaac [Hawn], Dylan [Keegan] and Westy [Alex Westendorf] did a great job up front. We wanted to establish a run game and we did that. All in all it was a step in the right direction for us.”

Lins connected with Nathan Dehut for a 23-yard touchdown on a halfback option for a 21-0 lead late in the second quarter. Michael Hohensee found Thomas Nelsen for a 56-yard score early in the fourth for a 42-0 lead.

For those keeping track, it is two dominant wins to start the season for the North Stars, who defeated Schaumburg 42-10 in the season opener. Now they prepare for their homecoming game against Larkin, which for all the pageantry is just one more game on the schedule.

“We just treat it like every other game,” Segobiano said. “Obviously you have the parade and the assemblies going on in school, but when school ends and we come out to the practice field we treat it like any other game.”

ST. CHARLES – The goal for Zach Mettetal and his St. Charles North football teammates entering a Sept. 2 showdown against Bartlett was to establish the run game.

Consider it mission accomplished for the North Stars.

North established the running game early and rode it to a 42-0 win against the Hawks in an Upstate Eight Conference crossover game.

“Last week we were pass heavy, so this week we wanted to come in and establish the run game, and that’s what we did,” Mettetal said. “Back-to-back weeks the offense comes out and dominates. The O-line was awesome, they dominated the line of scrimmage, and obviously our skill guys did a great job making plays.”

No skill player made more plays than Lucas Segobiano.

The junior opened the scoring with a three-yard run up the middle early in the first quarter, then hauled in a 37-yard scoring pass from Mettetal and returned a fumble 74 yards for a score that made it 35-0 midway through the

CROSS COUNTRY PREVIEW

The starting gun has fired on the 2016 cross country season, and both the boys and girls squads at Batavia, Geneva, Kaneland, Marmion, Rosary, St. Charles East and St. Charles North are loaded with talent. Four girls teams and two boys teams that qualified for the 2015 state championships are ranked in the top 20 in the state preseason coaches polls. Here are the outlooks for those teams as they start on the road toward the 2016 state meet:

Batavia opened the season with a fifth-place finish in an elite 13-team field at the Leavey Invitational at Leroy Oakes Forest Preserve on Sept.

“There are no superstars on this team,” head coach Chris Bosworth said, “But we can run as a tight pack at the front of the race with a lot of guys. We’ve had a great summer of training and made a lot of progress.

We might not start off the season fast, but all that matters is where we finish in November.”

Coach: Kevin Harrington Top runners NAME YEAR Seniors Brett Lee sr.

Outlook: The North Stars lost four of their top runners from last year to graduation, so they will be in a rebuilding mode this season. They placed fourth out of eight teams in the first race of the season at the Elgin City Classic, where they were led by 12th- and 13th-place individual finishes, respectively, by Brett Lee and Luke Sullivan. At the Leavey Invitational on Sept.

3, North was 11th in the field of 13 teams without an individual among the top-50 runners.

“My goal is for us to be a competitive team by the end of October,” head coach Kevin Harrington said. “Although our program is growing with more than 60 athletes this season, our junior and senior classes have relatively few full-time distance runners.”

While the ranks of upperclassmen are relatively thin, Harrington said the freshmen and sophomore classes have plenty of talent. Senior track standouts Luke Sutherland and Luke Zanis came out for cross county, but North will still have a long way to go to contend for conference.

“Conference-wise, we have been stuck behind St. Charles East, Geneva and Batavia,” Harrington said. “They are high-quality programs, so we have our work cut out for us again this year.”

See PREVIEW, page 7

Thursday, September 8, 2016 • KCChronicle.com / The Herald

Kaneland took second at Harvest Christian, and head coach Chad Clarey is looking to keep his team trending in the right direction.

“We haven’t started the season firing on all cylinders, but we’ve done well enough,” Clarey said. “Our group behind Matt still has a lot of maturing to do.

I’m not worried about where we are in the state rankings right now, or if we are ranked at all.

“Our goals this season are staying healthy, continuing to improve race-by-race, building a good, tight chase pack, and trying make a good showing in the postseason to get back to the state meet.”

Hayes on her way to living Olympic dream

By CHRIS ROLLIN WALKER

Leah Hayes (right) shows off some of the hardware she earned at the 2016 Central Zone Mega Zone meet at IUPUI as her coach, Nancy Jean Hooper, looks on. Hayes of Sugar Grove broke an individual medley record held by 2016 U.S. Olympian Elizabeth Beisel.

editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – Leah Hayes hopes to compete in the Olympics some day.

With the way she’s swimming, the Sugar Grove resident may get there by the time she reaches her teens.

The 10-year-old already has set eight state records, four of which also are national records, including one that was previously held by Elizabeth Beisel.

If Beisel’s name sounds familiar, that’s not surprising. She represented the United States at the Rio Olympics, serving as a team captain on the USA women’s swimming team and competing in her third Olympics.

Hayes broke the 200-yard individual medley record Beisel established in 2003. Hayes posted a 2:30.97 in early August at the IUPUI-hosted Mega Zone meet while representing Team Illinois. She won the race by more than 10 seconds.

“It’s amazing, really a ‘wow’ thing,” Hayes said. “Going into the race I knew [the record] was held by Elizabeth Beisel, and I went in trying to break it.”

She also recently broke records in the 10-and-Under National Age Group in the 100 freestyle (1:01.29), 200 freestyle (2:14.87) and 50 breaststroke (36.06). She also set a national record

Photo provided by the Hayes family

in the 50 freestyle, but it was recently eclipsed.

“I knew going into the nationals that all the girls would be on their games,” Hayes said. “I spent a lot of time practicing my turns and starts, and I just guess I was ready to see what I could do with everyone else there.”

Hayes, who trains under coach Nancy Jean Hooper with the USA Athletic

Club Tidal Waves Swim Club in Aurora, also has fought adversity. She suffers from alopecia areata, a type of hair loss.

“My coach is a great motivation for me and always keeps me positive,” Hayes said. “Even though I have alopecia, I can do whatever I want to do. I actually want to be an Olympian some day. I want to go out there and do any-

thing that I want.”

As a 15-year-old, Beisel was the youngest member of the U.S. women’s swim team at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

Hayes will be a 14-year-old and just a couple of months shy of her 15th birthday when the 2020 Summer Olympics arrive in Tokyo.

Perhaps she’ll be there.

Alexander’s Cafe launches St. Charles location

By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – A sunny new destination for breakfast and lunch is Alexander’s Cafe, which opened in mid-August on Route 64 in St. Charles.

It’s the latest addition to a regional restaurant group. Bob Karas, whose family also owns The Village Squire and Rookies All-American Pub and Grill locations, announced plans in winter to open a second Alexander’s Café at the former Gabby’s Kitchen. The original Alexander’s Café is in Elgin.

Helping oversee the development of the newest restaurant is Nick Smith, an owner and the St. Charles native known as the writer and director behind the well-received horror movie, “Munger Road,” set locally.

The vibe at Alexander’s Café is the taut film’s atmospheric opposite – bright, relaxing and welcoming. And while the restaurant is a sequel, Smith said it has its own unique touches.

“We’re doing a lot of fun things down here – we’re featuring Oberweis milk and ice cream,” Smith said, including using the premium ice cream for such unusual milkshake flavors as cinnamon toast crunch.

He said they also squeeze fresh orange juice every day, and a popular burger is

from Ream’s Meat Market in Elburn.

“We’re using a [Ream’s] half-pound, hand-packed burger patty,” Smith said. “It’s kind of nice to be able to do business with local businesses, and have more locally sourced ingredients and flavors.”

Other popular luncheon dishes include a Cuban sandwich, pot roast and meat loaf baked fresh daily, but the beef stroganoff remains Smith’s personal favorite.

The restaurant offers a full carryout menu and takes online and catering orders. Smith said it serves drinks including signature Bloody Mary cocktails at various heat levels, all with premium vodka.

“And we’re excited we’re hosting private events at night,” Smith said. “We have menus set up for that, [with] no charge for using the space. [This] month, we’re hosting a 90th birthday party.”

The restaurant group’s executive chef is Grant Werner. Smith said Werner oversees all the menus and recipe development, keeping an eye on

Lemon berry French toast with lemon custard, fresh blueberries and whipped cream is a breakfast dish at the newly opened Alexander’s Café in St. Charles. everything right down to the aesthetic presentation on the plate.

People looking for gluten-free foods will find toast, pancakes, sandwich buns and pasta that fit the bill.

The high-ceilinged restaurant space – with see-through fireplace along with wood and stone accents – was extensively renovated. Smith said everything in the kitchen is brand new, along with booths, furniture, tables and flooring. Soffits were added to provide soundproofing.

Smith has been enjoying the restaurant’s launch.

“We’re having a lot of fun,” he said. “For me personally, I have run into so many people I haven’t seen in a long time – [some with] questions

about ‘Munger Road.’”

He said he has reconnected with some of his elementary school teachers, a St. Charles North High School dean and Don DeWitte, who was mayor of St. Charles during the filming.

Smith said a focus of the café is on keeping the restaurant well-staffed and creating an inviting experience for patrons.

“We’re making sure that we use the freshest ingredients possible,” he said, noting that special attention is paid to little details like serving corned beef hash that is made in-house, along with bone-in ham for ham and eggs.

“It’s been nice to provide people another option for breakfast and lunch on this side of the river,” Smith said.

The restaurant, 1650 W. Main St., is open from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. For information, call 630-549-0514 or visit alexanderselgin.com and click on the new location. The entrance is in the back and added parking is available in a lot across 17th Street to the west.

And for “Munger Road” fans wondering what’s ahead given the closing lines in Roger Ebert’s three-star review: “I’d say the ending leaves it open for a sequel. What do you think?”

– Smith said the script is out there.

It’s time to plant Joe Pye weed Joe Pye weed, known as Eupatorium purpureum or Eupatorium maculatum in botanical circles, belongs in your garden. It entices butterflies to the landscape, its showy flowers and architectural form are dramatic in the perennial border, and it is a natural in wildflower meadows and rain gardens.

Joe Pye weed is easy to grow. It prefers to be planted in full sun to partial shade in soil amended with organic matter. It favors moist soil, but can adapt to drier conditions.

Growing from 2 to 8 feet tall depending on the variety, Joe Pye weed’s sturdy stems hold huge, extravagant flower heads from midsummer to early fall. Flowers range in color from pale pink to magenta, and mauve to dark purple. Spent flowers become seed heads that provide winter interest and food for birds.

Now is an ideal time to plant this show-stopping perennial. Soil temperatures stay warm considerably lon-

LEARNING TO GROW Sarah Marcheschi ger than air temperatures and roots have plenty of time to grab hold of their new home before winter settles in. Give Joe Pye weed plenty of room.

Even shorter varieties grow at least 2 feet wide.

Add a layer of mulch after planting to help maintain soil moisture. Water deeply if fall rains are not sufficient.

After frosts have killed the foliage, the plant can be cut back or left standing for the winter and cut back in spring.

Baby Joe is, well, the baby of the family. Perfectly sized for small gardens, it grows 2 to 3 feet tall and nearly as wide. It sports the same generous blooms as its larger siblings.

Plant Baby Joe with dwarf maiden grass and coneflowers. In containers, combine it with ornamental cabbage,

Swiss chard and yellow marigolds.

Little Joe grows a little larger – up to 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide. Reddish stems are topped with large domes of lavender flowers beginning in late summer. Open a bed and breakfast for the butterflies and bees when you partner Little Joe with bee balm and sedum.

Gateway is lovely planted toward the back of the border with Russian sage and large ornamental grasses.

This bold variety grows up to 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide. Wine red stems display rose-pink flowers. Gateway can develop unattractive “ankles” so plant smaller perennials at its base.

Joe Pye weed blooms from midsummer to fall, University of Illinois Extension Master Gardener Diana Stoll said.

GENEVA – Sergio’s Cantina, 30 W. State St., Geneva, will be offering live music during two days of Geneva’s upcoming Festival of the Vine, restaurant co-owner Lindsey De Los Santos said.

Dirty Water will perform from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. Sept.

9. Dirty Water is a trio that includes Nick Pansino on guitar, Charles Pansino on drums and Derek Gardner on bass, with all three doing lead and backup vocals, De Los Santos said.

Sean Berens will perform on guitar with Ryan Schumacher on violin from 7 to 10 p.m. Sept.

10, De Los Santos said.

Berens said he was a professional hockey player who once played for the Chicago Wolves and coaches youth athletics in Palatine – in addition to performing.

“We do a lot of Dave Matthews [Band] and a lot of acoustic rock, folk and alternative,” Berens said. “Ryan and I are the two biggest Dave Matthews [Band] fans in the country. We go all over the country to hear him play.”

Berens said those who attend his performance will likely hear “Crash” from Dave Matthews Band, “Alive” from Pearl Jam and “No Woman, No Cry” a reggae song by Bob Marley & the Wailers, as well as sing-along songs.

“I’ve been playing music since I was 13 years old and I asked my parents for a set of drums,” Berens said. “They are like, ‘No.’ And they gave me a guitar. It’s an unforgiving beginner instrument. It was an electric guitar and as long as it wasn’t plugged in, they were not being tortured.”

Sergio’s Cantina has an outdoor patio that seats 45, and a lower deck with an outdoor bar that seats an additional 35, De Los Santos said. There is no cover charge. If it rains or the weather turns cold, the performances will be canceled. Call the restaurant at 630-845-9200 to confirm the music schedule.

By ASHLEY SLOBODA sloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Jazz is once again set to take center stage in downtown St. Charles.

Beginning Sept. 8, eight venues – including The House Pub, The Filling Station Pub and Grill and The Jank Guitar Store – will participate in the fifth annual St. Charles Jazz Weekend, which runs through Sept. 11.

Jake Anderson of the Downtown St. Charles Partnership noted that the weekend falls on St. Charles North High School’s homecoming weekend, making it a good night for parents to go out while their teens partake in the school’s festivities.

“People should go out and try to enjoy it every day that they can,” Anderson said.

Admission is free to the performances, which are scheduled at various hours, including lunchtime, dinnertime and late evening.

In past years, the downtown partnership offered a stipend to the venues to help pay for the cost of the performer, Anderson said. He said it is great

St. Charles ■ ADMISSION: Free ■ WEBSITE: www.stcjazzweekend.com that new venues – including Rox City Grill and McNally’s Traditional Irish Pub – have chosen to participate even without the incentive.

Having a variety of venues is good because the type of jazz audiences will hear at The Filling Station isn’t the type of jazz they will hear at Rox City Grill, Anderson said.

Some of the venues book the same musicians year after year, Anderson said. For example, he said, The Filling Station was adamant about featuring Grammy award-winning saxophonist Frank Catalano on Sept. 8 because of the “great business he brings.”

Ruhlman unveils ‘secrets’ to sautéing

KANE WEEKEND |

TOM’S COOKBOOK LIBRARY Tom Witom

Thursday, September 8, 2016 • KaneWeekend / KCChronicle.com

Cooking novices and professionals both stand to elevate their knowhow once they get a clear understanding of a basic culinary: namely, the art of sautéing.

That’s the premise behind “Ruhlman’s How to Sauté” (Little, Brown), culinary expert Michael Ruhlman’s latest volume filled with sure-fire techniques and key recipes for the “Ruhlman’s home cook. Ruhlman’s How to no-nonsense advice is golden as he walks read- Sauté” ers through the “convenient and powerful” sauté process.

In his introduction, the Cleve-

11

land-based chef and food writer states the mission of his book: “to help you master sauté’s hidden complexities and nuances, which will make you an all-around better cook.”

Among the many instructive recipes that readers will encounter is Chicken Schnitzel with Sage Spaetzle.

Journalist Tom Witom, who lives in Elgin, has written extensively for years about food and the food industry.

CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH SAGE SPAETZLE Serves 4 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1-1/2 cups flour 2 eggs, blended to uniformity 1-1/2 cups panko Vegetable oil Season the chicken with salt and pepper and let rest for at least 10 minutes.

Combine the flour with 2 tablespoons flour and mix to disperse pepper.

Dredge the chicken in the flour, dip it in the egg, then coat it in the panko.

Set a large sauté pan over high heat.

Pour in a 1/4-inch layer of oil; it should come well up the sides of the chicken when all the pieces are in the pan.

When the oil is rippling and hot, lay the chicken in, reduce the heat to medium-high and cook until golden brown on one side, 3 minutes or so. Flip and cook the other side as well. Continue to flip and cook to get uniform browning and ensure that they are piping hot all the way through.

Thighs are difficult to overcook – because of the fat, they will remain juicy.

Remove to a rack or paper towel-lined plate.

Serve immediately or keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.

SAGE SPAETZLE Serves 4 2/3 cup milk 1 cup flour 1/4 cup minced fresh sage 1 teaspoon kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 tablespoons butter Combine the eggs, milk, flour, sage, salt and several grindings of pepper in a bowl, stir to mix well, then cover and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil with enough salt so that it tastes seasoned.

Pour the batter into a spaetzle maker, a

large perforated spoon or a colander with large holes, and press the batter through the holes so that it drips strands into the boiling water. Cook the spaetzle until it floats, then strain and rinse under cold water until chilled. Drain well and toss with the olive oil. Cover until you’re ready to serve – refrigerate or freeze the spaetzle if you won’t be finishing it within the next few hours.

To serve, melt the butter in a large sauté pan over high heat. After the frothing has subsided and the butter begins to turn brown, add the spaetzle and sauté, stirring and jumping them occasionally but allowing them to brown on the bottom of the pan.

When lightly browned and hot, serve.

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose position on our blue-painted front steps while I scan the yard for the kitty who likely escaped and giggle about the Big Red Dog’s panting, his panic over their imminent leave-taking, practically palpable from behind the screen door.

But this year, things were different.

This year, Noah’s a college student. (A college student!) You’ll get no tales of woe from me about bittersweet sendoffs or yarns about madcap move-in moments. And my Facebook friends won’t get to gawk at pics of my tearstreaked face anytime soon. Ha! Nope.

He had another sweet deal in the offing – a fantastic scholarship from Aurora University in their excellent

exercise science program (which Noah hopes will lead to an advanced degree in physical therapy), and the unbeatable savings at “DuBose Hall” (we kid that I’m his dorm director and Holly’s his resident adviser – and heck, I even splurged on a white board for his bedroom door!) equaled a no-brainer decision on his part.

How lucky are we to have such a solid school in our midst? Hallelujah!

It makes the current tuition crisis far less trying for local students weighing their options. No kidding.

Get a gander at AU’s academic offerings. Consider that roughly 50 percent of their students are commuters and take a close look at their generous, renewable merit scholarships, available to full-time students who maintain particular grade-point averages. You do the math. You win something and you lose something with every choice, sure, but financial

freedom is nothing to sneeze at, particularly given such an iffy job market.

But I digress. Holly’s first day of school, was a call up the stairs. I wasn’t certain Noah was up but had a hunch he’d be game, good big brother that he is. Sure enough, he rolled out of bed and into the frame just in the nick of time. And as usual, my dear neighbor across the street snapped one of all three of us in front of her tree, where I returned the favor. Noah indulged me again a few days later, before driving away on his first day of classes at AU. The Big Red Dog wasn’t impressed (“Bunnies? I smell bunnies!”), but I was on my game. Nary a wonky weed in sight.

Darn it, every year I say the same thing when I take my kids’ first-dayof-school pictures: “The weeds! Oh my Lord.”

Last year, as my kids stepped out the front door to pose for me, I first had to yank a bit of opportunistic greenery out of the way. It had apparently grown overnight or something.

This year was no different.

The flora was fierce, and the weeds needed whacking. (I’m nothing if not consistent). The morning of the first day of school is always a mad, comical scramble in our house – a mix of nerves and excitement, and a twinge of regret that we never quite managed to do that one last thing on our summer bucket list still hanging on the fridge.

Ugh. I’m always left wondering why I didn’t plan things a little better.

Or, you know, trim the dang weeds so at least the picture is pretty.

But no matter, the kids jockey for

18 Strength, power training keep muscles strong Dear Dr. K: What’s the difference between

strength and power training? Is one better than the other?

Dear Reader: Your muscles enable you to carry groceries, climb stairs, get out of a chair and swing a golf club. The stronger and more powerful your muscles are, the easier all of these everyday tasks and others will be. But weak muscles turn seemingly simple tasks, like walking, into a chore. They are a primary reason why many people lose their independence as they age.

Strength and power training can curb or even halt these changes. They help your muscles function at a high level as you get older. And there are additional benefits.

As you strengthen your muscles, you tone your arms and legs. You also burn more calories, since muscles require energy (calories) in order to function.

You can even help control various medical problems. For example, you can reduce your risk of heart disease, slow the advance of osteoporosis, ease arthritis pain, and help manage or prevent Type 2 diabetes.

So exactly what are strength and power training?

Strength training is a popular term for exercises that build muscle by harnessing resistance – that is, an opposing force that muscles must strain against. Strength training is sometimes called resistance training or weight training. Resistance can be supplied by your body weight, free weights such as dumbbells and weighted cuffs, elasticized bands or specialized machines. No matter what kind of resistance you use, putting more than the usual amount of load on your muscles makes them stronger.

Power training is aimed at increasing power, which is the product of both strength and speed. Power reflects how

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff quickly you can exert force to produce the desired movement. Power can help you react swiftly if you trip or lose your balance, helping you to avoid a fall.

Some power moves are just strength-training exercises done at a faster speed. Other power routines rely on the use of a weighted vest. The vest is worn while performing exercises aimed at improving functions such as bending, reaching, lifting and rising from a seated position.

Try to do strength and power exercises two or three times a week. Allow at least 48 hours between sessions for your muscles to recover. (I’ve put descriptions and illustrations of a few strength-training exercises, along with their power variations, on my website, askdoctork.com.)

When I urge my patients to consider strength and power training, they understand the merits of keeping muscles strong as they age. But they often ask if strength and power training are as good as aerobic exercise in reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. There is growing evidence that they do, although the evidence is not yet as strong as for aerobic exercise.

I’ve adopted an exercise program of aerobic exercise four to five days a week and strength training twice a week. If new evidence causes me to change my mind about what’s best for me, I’ll change my routine.

Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace Dr. Wallace: I read your column regularly and I’m appalled at the number of letters and e-mails you receive from teens who dislike their step-parent, and their slander is nothing short of an evil vendetta.

I am a stepmother. My husband’s wife died due to an illness and I had never met her. I try and do my very best, but my stepchild is constantly finding ways to keep our family in an uproar over what I do or I don’t do. My stepchild treats me like I’m invisible in my own home.

I’m not perfect, but I’m involved in activities that can better our community. I work hard to make our home comfortable and never forget a birthday or a special occasion. The thank you always goes to my husband and never to me.

My stepchild can hate me, but that will never bring back a deceased mother, nor will the family ever be “like it once was.”

Your thoughts on this matter will be appreciated. Thank you for allowing me to vent. I hope other step-parents who suffer humiliation from stepchildren will know that they are not alone! – Nameless, Elizabethtown, Ky. Nameless: Being a step-parent

can be a very difficult task if the preparation did not include all family members discussing how to welcome the step-parent into a new family. Your husband is the one who should have conducted family discussions first

JUMBLE

It’s easy to see that your stepchild was close to her birth mother and resents you taking her place. This wouldn’t have happened if family discussions about you entering the family had been successful. It’s your husband’s responsibility to do whatever is necessary to change the friction between your stepchild and you.

Successful families share love, compassion and honesty with all of their family members.

It’s your husband’s responsibility to do whatever is necessary to change the friction between your stepchild and you. Successful families share love, compassion and honesty with all of their family members.

Dr. Wallace: Let’s be honest.

A lot of teens drink and then drive. I’m one of them. I’m 19 and considered a “social drinker.” I’ve never been drunk in my life and I only have two or three drinks at most when I’m at a party. Since I don’t have a boyfriend, I drive myself to and from the function. A lot of my friends do the same. All I hear is don’t drive after you have been drinking. What’s the big deal if I’m not drunk and can drive my car perfectly. Sometimes people talk just to hear themselves speak. – Meg, Moline, Illinois Meg: Even one drink can affect a person’s ability to drive

an automobile safely. Alcohol is classified as a depressant drug which acts on the central nervous system, slowing activities of the brain. According to the American Automobile Association, one or two drinks can cause a driver to be impaired.

Even after one drink a driver’s foot may slow a fraction of a second in the transfer from the accelerator to the brake pedal.

The result could be a tragic accident. Alcohol also has an effect on a driver’s vision. Again, one drink can affect depth perception. The more alcohol consumed, the greater the faulty depth perception, poor peripheral vision, and reduced night vision.

Since you have friends who also drive after consuming a few drinks, I’d suggest that you all form a group where one can be the designated nondrinking driver.

Even under the best of circumstances, driving is challenging.

And alcohol consumption never helps, but can drastically hinder this challenge.

Never drink and drive!

My wife has always been well groomed, with an obsessive interest in her fingernails and toenails. Every three or four days, she spends an hour trimming them. Recently, I discovered that she has been keeping the nail trimmings.

She actually has three large plastic containers full. When I confronted her, she claimed it soothes her to see her “collection.” Now she has begun openly displaying them inside a glass table lamp. I’m afraid she needs professional help.

What do you think I should do?– Nailing It Dear Nailing: Your wife appears to suffer from a form of OCD – a hoarding disorder. (Are nail clippings the only items she can’t let go of?)

Overcoming her compulsion may take professional help and possibly medication. Start by discussing this with your doctor. In the meantime, because her display bothers you, ask her to keep the lamp in a less conspicuous place.

Dear Abby: My wife and I just bought our first home. It’s in a very nice neighborhood, and the neighbors seem friendly. There’s just one problem. My son, “Abner” – who will soon be 3 – goes to bed between 8 and 9 o’clock, and that’s when our neighbor decides it’s time to mow his grass. Getting Abner to sleep becomes difficult because the man mows right outside our son’s window. Initially, I didn’t think it was a big deal because the first time he woke Abner up, my son had gone to bed at an unusually early time for him. But last night it happened when Abner went to bed later than his normal bedtime. We have talked to our neighbors a few times in general. But since we’re new to the neighborhood, I don’t want to cause problems.

I don’t know the man’s schedule, but would it be out of line to ask him to mow earlier in the evening? – Bedtime in Illinois Dear Bedtime: Not at all. If you explain the problem, your neighbor may be willing to modify his mowing time. However, if he isn’t, then look into the noise ordinances in your community because there may be rules about mowing after – or before – a certain hour.

Dear Abby: Recently, my boss told me she had asked me to do something, but I am 100 percent positive that she didn’t. I don’t feel like I can contradict her because I’m afraid it would make me look bad. It has happened only once or twice in the last few months, but what should I do if it continues? I don’t want my employee reviews to suffer because of it. Please tell me how to handle it. – At A Loss in Florida Dear At A Loss: I wish you had revealed more about your relationship with your boss and mentioned how many people work there.

Could she be stressed? Or having problems with her memory? Or could you? If there are more employees than just you, did anyone witness your boss ask you to do what she claimed? If not, and this happens again, you may need to talk to her about it because of your concerns about your work performance.

The result is a conversation that’s uncomfortable for all concerned. Unsure what to do when ex-flame Emily (Laura Spencer) contacts him. Raj (Kunal Nayyar) gets advice from Penny (Kaley Cuoco) and others.

7 p.m. on _ WLS The $100,000 Pyramid They don’t always agree as panelists on “Shark Tank,” which makes it certain that Barbara Corcoran and Daymond John are strong competitors in this episode.

Michael Strahan is the host. Another episode follows.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Rosewood The death of a patient turns out to be tied to the murder of an ATF agent who was operating undercover in “Keratin & Kissyface.”

Rosewood and Villa (Morris Chestnut, Jaina Lee Ortiz) work on the investigation, which has twists and turns that seem endless. Sherri Shepherd and Sam Huntington guest star.

Lorraine Toussaint, Gabrielle Dennis and Domenick Lombardozzi also star.

7 p.m. on R WPWR DC’s Legends of Tomorrow It’s only been a few months, but Rip (Arthur Darvill) decides the Legends have paid their dues and lets each determine his or her own path in “Legendary.” The process isn’t easy, since each of the individuals must choose between personal desires and the bigger mission of protecting the world.

Brandon Routh also stars.

7:30 p.m. on % WMAQ NFL Football Tonight’s Super Bowl 50 rematch and NFL kickoff game in Denver has the champion Broncos hosting Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers. For Newton, it’s a chance to redeem himself against last season’s top defense. Denver, meanwhile has a quarterback situation to figure out with Peyton Manning now retired and former backup Brock Osweiler in Houston. That leaves journeyman Mark Sanchez as the likely starter with backups Trevor Siemian and rookie Paxton Lynch on the sidelines.

catch the Bucs looking ahead to next week’s match-up with Oklahoma.

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM NCIS Rocky Carroll — alias this show’s Vance — directed “Deja Vu,” which links a sailor’s murder to the renewed prominence of a global human-trafficking operation. The victim was about to offer related testimony, which immediately establishes a motive for the killing. A power-canceling storm gives McGee (Sean Murray) hope of finding shelter with a colleague. Mark Harmon, Michael Weatherly, Pauley Perrette and David McCallum also star.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Criminal Minds Frances Fisher (“Titanic”) guest stars in “Devil’s Backbone,” playing a serial killer now in custody and questioned by the BAU. She may know where two boys kidnapped years earlier might be, suggested by the contents of a package that prison guards confiscate. Joe Mantegna, Thomas Gibson, Matthew Gray Gubler, A.J. Cook and Kirsten Vangsness star.

8 p.m. on % WMAQ Aquarius Going rogue, Hodiak (David Duchovny) tracks down a serial killer who’s been contacting him in a very troubling way in the new episode “Mother Nature’s Son.” Manson (Gethin Anthony) is determined to acquire needed money by sending Bobby, Mary and Sadie (Mark L. Young, Abby Miller, Ambyr Childers) to be his decidedly dangerous emissaries. The season finale, “I Will,” follows immediately.

Grey Damon, Emma Dumont, Claire Holt and Michaela McManus also star.

10 p.m. on @ WFLD Home Free The last three contestants are narrowed down to the last two in “Overnight Success,” as each has a big stake in providing a Dream Home for their personal hero. Only one will get to do so, however, and hosts Mike Holmes and Tim Tebow get more ready for that person’s triumphant moment — which is only appropriate, since they’ve also been on site to witness all the hurdles along the way.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Son of Zorn The Disney studio didn’t shy away from merging animation and live-action in many of its movies ... and while this new sitcom follows that formula, it definitely isn’t Disney territory.

In this “preview” airing — titled “Return to Orange County” — “Saturday Night Live” alum Jason Sudeikis voices a cartoon warrior who decides he wants to reunite with his flesh-andblood ex-wife and son (Cheryl Hines, Johnny Pemberton), though she now has a fiance.

7:20 p.m. on % WMAQ NFL Football In their season opener the New England Patriots get a taste of what life will one day be like without superstar quarterback Tom Brady.

Viable backup Jimmy Garoppolo is being handed the reins while Brady endures a fourgame suspension thanks to “deflategate.” The Pats will be challenged right out of the gate as they visit Carson Palmer and the Arizona Cardinals, who like the Patriots, have been among the NFL’s best in recent years.

7:30 p.m. on @ WFLD The Simpsons Is it possible? Homer and Marge are splitting up? The couple (voices of Dan Castellaneta and Julie Kavner) takes the initial step to save their marriage by visiting a counselor in “Every Man’s Dream.” However, Homer starts dating a younger woman. Political commentator Laura Ingraham and the central stars of “Girls” — Lena Dunham, Allison Williams, Zosia Mamet and Jemima Kirke — are the episode’s guest voices.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM BrainDead Remember the sit-in by politicians not long ago? Another develops in “Talking Points Toward a Wholistic View of Activism in Government: Can the Top Rebel?” The event is the result of Laurel (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) questioning a bill advocated by Red (Tony Shalhoub), as she debates staying in Washington, D.C. The show’s season finale, titled “The End of All We Hold Dear: What Happens When Democracies Fail: A Brief Synopsis,” follows immediately.

8 p.m. on _ WLS 2017 Miss America Competition In its traditional setting — Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. — the contest names a new winner, with the public getting to choose one of the entrants who makes it into the Top 15.

Chris Harrison (“The Bachelor”) returns as host, joined by sportscaster Sage Steele. The celebrity judging panel includes singer Ciara, Olympic gold-medalist gymnast Gabby Doug-
