Elburn seeks parks committee volunteers

By SUSAN O’NEILL

editorial@kcchronicle.com ELBURN – The village of Elburn is seeking volunteers to join a parks committee that will address what to do with the village’s current parks, as well as what residents would like to see in future parks.

Elburn Village Board members at the Aug. 6 Committee of the Whole meeting discussed some specifics about the committee, as well as what they would be asking members to do.

“You need a charter, but the committee would develop their own goals,” trustee Jeff Walter said. “It’s not just come up with a great idea – it has to be, ‘How will we get it done? What’s our future? What’s our plan?’”

Walter said that addressing the costs for what could be done would be important. He said that Blackberry Creek resident Brian McCarthy brought up some good points at the village’s Aug. 15 meeting about obtaining sponsorships and donations for park development.

Village President Dave Anderson reminded board members that the vil-

Know more People who are interested in joining the parks committee may contact any Village Board member. For information, call 630-365-5060. lage has an increased opportunity for obtaining grants with the Blackberry Township partnership that Elburn Station developer Dave Patzelt suggested.

Trustee Pat Schuberg said that a good place to start would be for the committee to conduct an initial inventory of what is currently available for both active and passive recreation.

Schuberg said she would want the plan to include recreational opportunities for all ages and interests, and not just a focus on youth sports teams.

Trustee John Krukoff agreed that an inventory would be a good starting point.

“I’ll bet residents don’t even know what’s available,” Krukoff said.

Trustee Bill Grabarek said that the village of Elburn is lucky in that

there is a large amount of vacant forest preserve land already available for walkers, dog walkers and bikers.

He suggested that a public meeting to obtain input from residents for what they would like to see in the long term would be useful in the beginning.

Anderson said he would like to have something set up by the beginning of December. He said the committee should be representative of all four quadrants of the village.

Board members also agreed that the committee should include a village staff member and at least one board member, as well as community volunteers.

Schuberg suggested that the Village Board could ask potential parks committee members to complete a short application, with perhaps a paragraph as to why they would like to be part of the committee.

Interim Village Administrator John Nevenhoven said that he would check into the application.

“As we grow, these [parks] are things we need to look at,” Walter said.

“If we want to attract new residents, we need to address parks.”

Village Board to post open positions for 2017 election

By CHRIS WALKER

editorial@kcchronicle.com Maple Park Village President Kathy Curtis announced during a regular Village Board meeting Sept. 6 that information on how to access and file the necessary paperwork to get on the election ballot for village officials would soon be available.

“There’s a lot of openings for trustees and the village president seat is also open for the upcoming election,” she said. “The paperwork for those interested will be available later this month.”

Petition packets should be available on the village’s website and in the village office by Sept. 20 for the April 4, 2017, election, she said.

Other news from the meeting included the approval of a crack-sealing project for Heritage Hills for just less than $20,000 from Behm Pavement Maintenance of Crystal lake.

There was further discussion about internet service to the camera system at the village’s wastewater treatment plant and water tower, which was tabled because it was determined that internet service wouldn’t be required.

Ordinances concerning temporary suspension of impact fees in subdivision regulation, temporary suspension of fees for water use and service, water rate increase, sewer rate increase and amending the liquor code were also addressed.

The Maple Park Fun Fest over Labor Day weekend was praised by Curtis as well as Maple Park Police Chief Tony Ayala during the Sept. 6 meeting.

“The event went very smoothly,” Ayala said. “Everybody was really happy.

We had enough staff to help out and all of the public who were in attendance were great. We didn’t have any problems, so I can’t ask for much more than that.”

“We had a decent crowd and the event was well organized,” Curtis said.

“The police department and public works [crew] put in a lot of work to help make it a successful event.”

Charity car show helps Kaneville president with medical expenses

By SUSAN O’NEILL

editorial@kcchronicle.com The weather cooperated, the venue was beautiful, the turnout was stellar and the cause was a good one. The Charity Car and Motorcycle Show – formerly known as Sheriff Pat Perez’s car show – was held Sept. 3 at the Martin family farm on Green Road in Elburn.

The show featured 230 cars, raising $5,805, including a portion of the 50/50 raffle that the winner donated back.

Kaneville resident, village president and Hill’s Country Store owner Pat Hill was the recipient of the money, which she will use to help pay for medical bills related to her cancer.

Hill was first diagnosed with stage 4 breast, bone and liver cancer in October 2014. After chemotherapy treatment, she was stabilized for about nine months. Then, in early April of this year, Hill’s cancer came back with lesions on her brain.

Hill has been receiving radiation treatments for the recurring cancer, but she would like to obtain a second opinion to see whether there might be an alternative treatment that could

Hill would never actively seek assistance, but her daughter Alexa placed a donation can to help with travel expenses on the counter at her store. When Perez heard that Hill’s cancer had come back, he immediately set out to help.

Perez said he met Hill when they were both parents of children in the Kaneland schools. Perez said Hill also attended the Citizens Police Academy through the Kane County Sheriff’s office.

“And everybody knows ‘The Pur-

ple Store,’” he said with a laugh.

Hill’s Country Store is also known as The Purple Store, for its bright purple paint job.

Perez said that everyone who came to the car show was very generous. He said people kept giving him extra money, telling him to “keep the change.”

Three trophies were given out: Pat Hill’s choice went to Tom Kuba for his 1966 blue GTO and Ken Boyce won the Steve Sikorsky award for his 1966 Lincoln Continental, and the motorcycle trophy was awarded to a gentleman who only gave his name as George, for his 2006 Suzuki Boulevard bike.

The Sikorsky award was named in memory of a good friend of Perez’s, who was killed in an accident on Route 64 on the way to a cruise night in June.

“A lot of people come out because it’s benefiting someone,” said WKKD radio announcer Mark Lyons, who provided the music and kept people informed. “I’ve had people say to me, ‘I don’t care about a trophy; it’s going to a good cause.’”

Elburn trustee Dave Gualdoni brought his grill out to the event, and was busy making burgers for sale. Harley Sanitary Services donated the porta-potties for use during the event, and farm venue was donated for the day, too.

“You guys are so awesome, and I feel so honored within this community and this county,” Hill told the crowd.

“Thank you; I’m very humbled.”

I had the pleasure of meeting Ed Gabrielse a couple of weeks ago at the St. Charles community garden as he prepared to harvest butternut squash. Ed is there almost every day, weeding, planting, harvesting and chatting with other gardeners.

He doesn’t do it all for his own bounty, though. He works several plots with other volunteers and donates the harvest to the Northern Illinois Food Bank.

It’s just a coincidence that my short time with Ed was my last time on assignment with reporter Ashley Sloboda. I think it’s very fitting because both Ed and Ashley are so wonderful, generous and giving.

It’s imperative that reporters and photographers work well together, to be the yin to the other’s yang. To help fill in the blanks and help each other out. I feel Ashley and I did that very well together. We told some amazing stories.

I’ve worked with dozens of reporters in my career and Ashley is one of the best, if not THE best. She understands the process, the storytelling and the need for great visuals.

Ashley is now moving on with her family to Indiana, and I hope to continue to find great stories to tell.

editorial@kcchronicle.com Ben Westfall enjoys the active lifestyle that comes from riding a bicycle around town.

As the co-owner of Da Capo Music Studio in Elburn, he also loves music and teaching.

He’s provided music lessons with his partner, Kristin Paxinos, at the studio since 2009.

Westfall also enjoys making a difference within the community in other ways, including his Folks on Spokes event, which he hopes will make a huge impact on Sept. 18 with the second annual bike ride and fundraiser.

“The nice thing about this event, which is put on by the Elburn Chamber of Commerce, is it teaches people how nice of a bicycle-friendly community we have here in Elburn while giving us a chance to raise money for a good cause,” he said.

This year’s cause is the Kaneland High School marching band, which Westfall said

“I think I heard their numbers have grown from 120 to 200 and that they were about 80 uniforms short this year,” Westfall said. “Plus, some of the uniforms they have are 15 years old and falling apart, so once we heard that it would cost more than $15,000 to replace them, we wanted to help

them as best as we could.”

Coincidentally, Westfall said that about two weeks after they announced that they would be raising money for the marching band, he received word that the school board approved new band uniforms.

“Maybe this shed some light on things,” Westfall said.

Westfall said the money will now go to a new sound system that band director Aaron Puckett can use during practices to make it easier to communicate instructions to the band.

“These kids are working hard with band camps and putting in all the practice time that they deserve this,” Westfall said. “I know we’re treading a fine line here in helping somebody but also calling out administration on how they’re allocating their money. We’re happy with what we’re doing and it’s great for the community.”

Not to be overshadowed in the fundraising is the education of local residents about the advantages of riding bicycles, both for physical and so-

When was the last time you had an aha! moment?

You know what I’m talking about.

An abrupt realization that literally changes everything; a “Wait a minute!” dawning that causes you to see things in a different, often better, light.

I know I’ve had plenty, scattered over a wide variety of topics and an even greater number of years. There was the day back in 1965 when I tried on my first pair of pants with pockets.

Aha! Suddenly I could explore and collect stuff, and keep both hands free.

A game-changer for sure.

I could go on about the day I figured out how to whistle for a taxi, and tell you exactly where and when I discovered Chemex coffee brewers – another life-changing moment. But today’s column isn’t about me. It’s about my friend and co-worker, Jill Voegtle, and a particular aha! experience she had a while back. It was a breakthrough, for sure – a day she’ll never forget. But you know what’s really cool about it? She’s sharing it with all of us.

The other day Jill gave me the details about when she realized, after a lifetime of gardening and a career in horticulture, what a tremendous impact even a small amount of native plants can have on a landscape.

“I had planted a 25-foot-long strip in the garden at my parents’ house all in natives,” she recalled. “I was standing there one day, looking at the plants, and I realized I was seeing things I’d never seen before.”

Not the blooms – although they no doubt were stunning. Nope. What Jill witnessed then, and what she continues to promote today, is the astounding interconnectedness between native plants and native wildlife. Insects buzzing, birds flitting – a microcosm of our local ecology centered around a 25-foot strip of land amid, ironically, lots of other carefully tended, but not native, plants.

“There I was, almost 30 years old, and seeing things for the first time,” Jill said. “A black wasp on rattlesnake master – I’d never seen a bug like that before. It was a lightbulb moment, for sure. Where would these animals go if these plants weren’t here?”

I know lots of folks are less enamored of wasps and things but also fond of, say, birds and butterflies. The thing is, really, all life is linked together.

“If you want those pretty things in your yard then, ecologically speaking, planting natives is what you have to do,” Jill said. “Take birds, for instance. What do they eat? What do they build their nests with? What do they feed their babies? Native plants

Native plants make all the difference

A newly planted plot in the Hickory Knolls Natural Area thrives against a dull background of Hungarian brome.

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto give them everything they need.”

Turfgrass, Jill said, may be the standard for yards in our area, but in terms of what it gives back to the environment, it offers next to nothing.

“You have to mow it, water it, feed it, and for what?” she said. “There’s really nothing helpful that it attracts.”

Realizing the importance of her discovery and, even better, wanting to share with anyone who’s interested, Jill this year took advantage of an opportunity in a plot within the Hickory Knolls Natural Area.

Planted in Hungarian brome, a once-common cover crop, this patch of space, although green, was about as ecologically dead as a suburban lawn.

“Hungarian brome is a runner grass – it spreads by rhizomes,” Jill said. “It really serves no ecological purpose other than covering the soil and not letting other plant species in.”

Herbicide made quick work of a 10-foot-by-25-foot patch of brome.

Then, this past May, as the busy spring planting season wound down, Jill began to put her plan into action.

Armed with a few extra flats of native plants that she’d started from seed and, amazingly, only a hand trowel, Jill carved out a strip of life amid the ecologically dead area.

“I couldn’t believe how great the soil was,” she said. “We were able to get the plants in, water them and then see them start to take off almost immediately.”

Wild quinine, little bluestem, prairie dropseed, whorled milkweed, prairie milkweed, foxglove beardtongue, sand coreopsis, rough blazing star and pale purple coneflower now fill the small patch amongst the brome. The contrast between the two areas is absolutely spectacular. And I’m not just referring to shapes, colors and textures of the natives. The swirl of life above them, while the brome stands silent and untouched, is impossible to ignore.

The day I visited the natural area

with Jill, we could see the activity above the plot from 10 yards away.

As we approached, we spotted several different species of native bees, honeybees, assorted flies and beetles.

A silver-spotted skipper, true to its name, skipped between the blooms, its silver spot flashing in the sun. All were taking full advantage of Jill’s pollen-and-nectar oasis there in the brome desert.

If you’d like to see for yourself the difference a patch of native plants can make, take a trip out to Hickory Knolls. Jill’s plot lies near what we refer to as Archery Woods, along a mowed path near the Blue trail on our site maps.

You’ll know it when you see it. And from your “aha,” we’ll know when you see it, too.

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 630-513-4346 or editorial@ kcchronicle.com.

SUGAR GROVE – The Sugar Grove Public Library is geared up this fall with an array of activities for adults and children of all ages.

Adult Services manager Genna Mickey said that adult programs this fall will include fan favorites such as the Sugar Stitchers Knitting Group; a monthly Classic Movie Afternoon; Writer’s Night; Coffee, Coloring and Conversation Club; and several other book club meetings.

“These programs continue to grow in popularity, and community members enjoy the chance to socialize during these events,” Mickey said.

The Tales and Trails Book Club will continue to meet once a month through October at the V.L. Gilman Trail, across from Christ Community Church on Galena Boulevard in Aurora, to discuss the book of the month.

The group will discuss the book “The Martian” by Andy Weir at its next meeting, which will be from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Sept. 21.

Michelle Nichols from the Adler Planetarium also will discuss how “The Martian” portrayed Mars during “Red Planet,” which will be from 6:40 to 7:45 p.m. Sept. 15. Registration is required.

A new library council for teens in eighth through 12th grade will meet monthly. This council was developed for teens to interact with one another, establish leadership qualities and skills, and discuss solutions to problems within the library. There will be a teen librarian, and the teen council will provide helpful feedback.

Mickey said the teen council discussed favorite authors and provided feedback on how to redecorate the library’s Teen Zone during the first meeting in August.

“The teens present were from Kaneland High [School], Aurora Central

• DISTRICT 302

Continued from page 6 and bring them to the board in December. This is giving the board an opportunity to provide feedback now.”

The unknown, especially the previous budget impasse in Illinois, continued to be a major concern at the meeting.

“One thing to keep in mind is that we still don’t know what the state is going to do,” board member Gale Pavlak said.

[Catholic High School], [Kaneland] Harter [Middle School] and were home-schooled,” Mickey said. “The teens also decided to name themselves ‘Dumbledore’s Army’ as a reflection of their passion for ‘Harry Potter.’”

The teen council is still recruiting members, and the next meeting will be at 2:30 p.m. Sept. 17. There will be a vote for leadership positions during the October meeting, Mickey said.

The library also will host a lecture

by Tim Wilsey on President John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracies on Nov. 11.

“Since the release of the Stephen King adaptation of ‘11/22/63,’ turned into a Hulu TV miniseries, there has been some spiked interest in this topic,” Mickey said.

For the younger kids, there will be a Drop-In Baby Story Time that promotes reading and language skills through talking, singing and shared reading. This program is for babies up to 18 months. Toddler Story Time and Preschool Story Time will encourage reading for children ages 18 months to 5 years old, with language and social skills practice, as well as singing, letter recognition games and shared reading time.

Several other clubs and programs will meet throughout the fall for kids, including Read to Rover, “Minecraft” Club, “Pokemon” Club, Lego Club, Curiosity Club, Books and Cookies Club, Lifesize “Minecraft,” Pirate Palooza, School’s Out: Columbus Day, Halloween Spooktacular, Family Reading Day and more.

The board also viewed a presentation on Vision 20/20, a statewide educational movement that currently has 522 statewide supporting school districts, including Geneva and Batavia, and represents more than 800,000 students. The board appeared to be in mutual agreement that joining such a movement would be beneficial, especially since it doesn’t have a cost.

“One of the strengths of Vision 20/20 is it has staying power, and in the past five years it’s continued to grow,” Kaneland Superintendent Todd Leden said.

Focus on underlying causes of violence SPRINGFIELD – For years, I’ve watched Illinois lawmakers debate issues concerning gun control and just rolled my eyes.

Such debates generate far more heat than light.

There is plenty of emotion on both sides but little in the way of new ideas.

And at the end of the day, very little changes.

Just this past month, Gov. Bruce Rauner signed a bill to make it a felony for a person who has not been issued a state firearm owner’s identification card to bring guns into Illinois with the intent to sell or deliver them.

It’s a step in the right direction.

Perhaps a baby step, but a step nonetheless.

The bill passed the Illinois General Assembly unanimously.

The one thing that folks on both sides of the gun debate can agree on is that criminals and seriously mentally ill people shouldn’t be packing heat.

The different views on guns in Illinois are more often cultural and geographic than partisan.

I grew up on a farm near Galesburg and hunted with my father or brother. It was a good time to talk and enjoy the outdoors and occasionally bring something home for supper.

I also was taught to have a reverent respect for the lethality of guns and how to handle firearms in a courteous manner. But I have friends who grew up in Chicago whose experience with firearms were far different than mine.

When I hear gunfire through my bedroom window, I wonder if rabbit or squirrel season has begun. They’d wonder if the Latin Kings or Black Disciples are at it again.

As the parent of three young daughters, I can’t imagine what it’s like to live in a place where gun violence is a way of life.

Recently, I enrolled in a concealed carry class. I wanted to learn more about what is becoming a growing movement in our country.

The folks taking the class cut across the socio/economic spectrum.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Scott reeder There was a truck driver and a dentist. There were older folks and 20-somethings. And I sat next to a young mother who could outshoot everyone in the class.

What struck me was how ordinary they were.

I didn’t see any gang colors – unless you count camouflage. I found my classmates to be polite and concerned about the well-being of their families.

Those who support more restrictions on guns would have you believe that folks who want to carry are Dirty Harry types ready to shove a revolver in someone’s face and shout, “Go ahead, make my day.”

I’ve never met a gun owner like that. And I hope I never do.

According to the Congressional Research Service, there are more than 300 million guns in the United States. That means this nation has more guns than people.

No matter what laws are passed, that is a number that is unlikely to get smaller anytime soon.

In fact, every time a gun control measure is proposed, gun sales go up.

I don’t drink, but I can see the foolishness that was once prohibition.

Gun ownership isn’t just a pervasive custom like alcohol consumption; the U.S. Supreme Court has affirmed that it is a constitutional right.

Guns are just a tool that can bring security or despair.

As a society, we need to focus on the underlying reasons for violence: mental illness, the lack of mentoring, particularly of boys and young men, and the need for swift, certain consequences for those who choose to do harm to others.

LETTERS Area schools open on time thanks to recent compromise

To the editor: As public schools throughout the Fox Valley and the state of Illinois open on time and students return to the classroom, it’s important to recognize that this only happened because of compromise.

Earlier this summer, the possibility of schools not opening on time and teachers not getting paid was very real due to the long state budget impasse in Springfield. However, on June 30, legislators came together and voted to approve a six-month stopgap budget that included funding to ensure the new school year would start without delay.

The outcry from parents and teachers would have been deafening if we had failed to do this – and justifiably so. As the father of three, including one in high school and one who just started kindergarten, I shared the concern of many other parents about the impact on our schools if the politicians in Springfield did not get their act together this summer and pass a budget compromise.

My House Republican colleagues and I stood firm in our conviction that we could not stand by and allow our kids’ education to be held hostage in the Springfield budget battle. We were determined to take K-12 education out of the political crossfire, and we did. Yet this could not have been achieved if we had not stood together and kept pressure on the Democrats who hold a firm grasp on power in the Illinois House of Representatives.

As a freshman legislator, I have found that compromise in Springfield has been

far too rare. Democrats have controlled the Illinois House for all but two years since 1983 and have held a large majority in the state Senate since 2003. Consequently, they have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. This explains why they have refused to allow an up-or-down vote on any of the meaningful and long-overdue reforms proposed by the governor that would restore growth and opportunity to the Illinois economy and make state government more efficient and accountable.

Schools across Illinois have opened on time. We can and should be thankful for that. However, we’ll be right back where we started with another budget impasse and school funding being threatened unless legislators come together this fall and enact a budget with reforms that put the interests of families and taxpayers ahead of the special interests that have dominated Springfield far too long.

THE WRITE PLACE Emma Chrusciel down about it yet.

I attribute this positivity to not allowing myself to become overly worried about something I have yet to fully experience. Sure, junior year could be the most draining year yet, but I won’t know that until I’ve actually gone through it. For right now, I’m trying to stay calm and not freak out unnecessarily.

I enjoy being an upperclassman for many reasons and not just because I’m finally one of the older kids at the school. Being a role model for the freshmen and sophomores to look up to carries huge responsibility, but it is one I am happy to have, especially

considering my sister is now a freshman. Now that I know what I’m doing (at least most of the time), I’ve been able to help some underclassmen get the hang of high school, and that’s an achievement I’m proud of.

While the prospect of college prep and choosing a potential career may be daunting, it helps that I can customize my schedule with relevant and thought-provoking classes. Now that most of my required courses are out of the way, I’m able to choose courses that relate to my interests and possible career paths. For example, I am taking a new course right now called Political Campaigns and Elections (shoutout to Mr. Hahn), which is especially relevant given that the presidential election is right around the corner.

I also am taking a speech class next semester, which I hope will help

develop my public speaking skills as well as my confidence in this area.

These classes are not only enjoyable – they also will hopefully be useful when it comes to college and life in general.

There’s a lot of hype about the pressures and stresses of junior year, but with my limited experience so far, I can honestly say that I think I’ll be just fine. As long as I keep a positive outlook, use my position as an upperclassman to help other students, and stay on top of my studies, I’m confident that this school year will be one of the best yet.

SOUND OFF Where’s the justice?

Talk about lack of justice, especially for the privileged. A Romanian hacker who first revealed that Hillary Clinton used a private email address while she was secretary of state was sentenced to more than four years in federal prison. He gets four-plus years; Hillary gets nothing. And she violated the U.S. law. What this man did was wrong, there’s no doubt about that. But he gets four years and Hillary gets nothing for violating her duties and endangering the country? What is wrong with this country?

Batavia’s money is misspent

The Batavia City Council thinks that lining the pockets of developers and taking care of downtown and the businesses downtown is more important than the residents in Batavia, specifically in Ward 1 where we have massive flooding and we need a couple million dollars to fix the flooding and fix the curbs and fix the sewers. But last night, they spent $1.25 million to buy some property downtown for some master plan of a new development.

No more TIF districts

When will the [tax increment financing districts] ever end in Batavia? How many more properties will the city overpay to purchase for the Shodeen project? The giving away of our tax dollars for private gain has to stop. By the way, how about using TIF money to overpay to purchase my Batavia house?

I have officially been a junior at Geneva High School for close to a month, and as summer comes to a close, the full reality of being an upperclassman is finally setting in.

Since day one at GHS, I have been told that junior year is the most critical when it comes to my education and my future. This is the year I take the ACT and SAT, the year I start to visit colleges and the year I begin thinking about potential career paths. In other words, junior year is not something to be blown off or disregarded.

However, my experience with this academic year so far (granted, it has only been a few weeks) has been nowhere near as terrifying, overwhelming or stressful as some would have me believe. I love all my classes, and while the idea of college is constantly hanging over my head, I haven’t worked myself into a mental break-

Turnovers costly for Kaneland football Loss to Rich Central moves Knights to 2-1

By CHRIS ROLLIN WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com

MAPLE PARK – Football coaches always stress the importance of taking care of the football.

Kaneland turned the ball over twice during a nonconference game against Rich Central on Sept. 9, and both proved to be extremely costly as the Olympians turned them both into touchdowns and prevailed 19-13.

“It was those turnovers, and we had way too many penalties,” Kaneland coach Tom Fedderly said. “But I told the kids we’re going to have a lot of positive things to come from this game.”

After failing to convert a first down on its first two possessions, the Knights fumbled the ball away on their third possession and the Olympians seized the opportunity.

They only had to cover 33 yards before Sean Tyler completed the drive with a 4-yard run with 3:42 left in the opening quarter.

Kaneland (2-1) answered quickly, getting a 14-yard touchdown run from Jonathan Alstott with 1:59 left in the quarter. The Knights also failed to convert the PAT, so it remained 6-6.

Jyran Mitchell’s 61-yard touchdown run allowed the Olympians (2-1) to enjoy a 13-6 advantage at halftime, but the Knights then tied the game on Alstott’s 1-yard run midway through the third quarter, a play that as set up after Jack Douglas connected with Josh Marczuk for a 21-yard catch and run.

After Rich Central missed a long field-goal attempt, the Knights marched into fieldgoal range themselves but once again were victimized with penalties before fumbling the ball away on a high snap.

They were fortunate that the fumble didn’t provide Rich Central with excellent field position, but the Olympians still marched 66 yards, getting the go-ahead touchdown on Mitch-

ell’s 4-yard pass to Ledaye Campbell, who made a diving catch in the front corner of the end zone with 2:35 remaining in the game.

“He just got down there and dug up that thing,” Rich Central coach Terrell Alexander said. “He’s done it for quite some time now even though he’s just a sophomore. That’s why he’s up here. He came of age today.”

Kaneland had two final possessions after falling behind but failed to convert any first downs during either of them.

They had 14 total possessions in the game, but they were only able to run more than three or four plays in half of them.

“Our offense was moving the ball, we just couldn’t put it in the end zone at all,” Kaneland quarterback Jack Douglas said. “The defense played great, we couldn’t have asked for anything more from them.”

It was third consecutive season the teams have met, and all games have been decided by six points or fewer.

“We know they’re a very

good program and very respected,” Alexander said. “It’s just good kids playing good, hard football.”

It was a tough way to lose, but it was a good learning experience for the Knights against an athletic opponent. “[Being] 2-1 is great and we could’ve been 3-0 with a handful of plays there,” Fedderly said. “I think the kids are playing hard. We’re just young at some positions, and we just have to learn and go through the process to keep getting better.”

Outlook: What the Bulldogs lack in experience they make up for in hustle.

Because only four of 13 players return with varsity experience, Trippi-Payne has mixed and matched the lineup to reward the hot hand. Batavia’s flexibility has also shown well so far this season as players can move around from position to position.

“We are a work in progress,” Trippi-Payne said. “But we have changed the lineup based on what we see. It’s a constant process.”

Consistency in offense has led the Bulldogs to an 8-7 record and a thirdplace finish at the Timothy Christian Tournament. Even third-set losses against Naperville North and Waubonsie Valley earlier this season have showed the mettle of the Bulldogs.

“We are a team that definitely goes out and plays hard,” Trippi-Payne said. “We play with our hearts. The service part of our game has allowed us to take some good teams to three sets.

You wouldn’t know the score in any of those games either because we played so hard and were hungry”

ville North. The last four state champs have come out of the Vikings’ supersectional and Seitelman has built a schedule that will test Geneva against many of their playoff foes in the regular season.

The Vikings are ranked No. 17 nationally in both the USA Today Super 25 poll and the MaxPreps.com Xcellent 25.

“Before the season all the girls got together and we talked about the attention because we didn’t want it to become the elephant in the room,” Seitelman said. “Whoever gave us the ranking hadn’t been in our gym and all the teams listed were 0-0. So, let’s put it in perspective. We still have to go out there and prove it. We want to emphasize the grind we are going to go through so we can reach the outcomes and goals that we desire.”

Off to a 7-0 start with a win at the Plainfield North Tournament, Seitelman has seen flashes of the Vikings’ potential.

“We’ve played composed at times,” Seitelman said. “When it comes to consistency we are still a work in progress. We’ve shown moments of greatness. But if our service receive is off, it’s hard to use all our weapons like we want.”

Outlook: National attention has followed a Vikings’ team loaded with talent. Colleges have taken notice as well, as Loberg (Wisconsin), Barrett (Connecticut), Mullen (William & Mary) and Lambillotte (Wingate) will all play at the next level.

Outlook: Hunger for an elusive regional title has driven the Knights in the offseason and through the pre-Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference portion of their schedule. From participation in a high ropes course to a pole vault team challenge over the summer, Kaneland built trust and cohesiveness through challenging, yet fun, team-building exercises The resulting close-knit group has got off to a quick start this fall with a 15-3 record. First place finishes at the Wheaton North Tournament, which included a win over IHSA Class 4A runner up Glenbard West in the title match, and the Pontiac Tournament could forecast a deep playoff run as Kaneland looks to reverse the trend of losses in four straight regional matches.

“We’ve got a group that just doesn’t like to lose,” Violett said. “We can be down 10 and still have the attitude that we are going to come back and get ya. I think because we go in with that attitude it really helps our confidence level.”

Musicians to rock benefit Concert to help support juvenile diabetes research

By RENEE TOMELL

rtomell@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – The power of music to both inspire and make a difference in the world is at the heart of an all-volunteer benefit concert to fight juvenile diabetes, spearheaded by guitar teacher Andrew Bordoni of St. Charles. His students will rock the stage backed by professional musicians at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 4 at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles.

It’s the third such concert for Bordoni at the Arcada, whose use has been donated by theater owner Ron Onesti.

Bordoni picked Type 1 juvenile diabetes as the supported cause after learning several of his students are dealing with the disease, one of whom, Michael, has his own fundraising team called Diabetes Destroyers at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. All concert donations will go directly to that team. Last year’s concert helped raise more than $13,000, Bordoni said.

He is a British transplant born near Manchester, England, who as a youth spent years in the Milan area of Italy honing his musical skills as a guitarist and beginning a journey that would lead him to the Fox Valley. In speaking with reporter Renee Tomell, Bordoni said music changed his life. The following is an edited version of the rest of their conversation.

Renee Tomell: What was your musical training in Italy?

Andrew Bordoni: A lot of my early education in music was self-taught. There weren’t any modern teachers. The classical guitarists had no interest in teaching electric guitar. I just learned off records and seeing bands live and using books. Within four years, I had my first band and started getting attention [near] Milan. I worked really hard on

The benefit concert performers take a bow at Arcada Theatre in St. Charles. This year’s event to fight juvenile diabetes will take place Oct. 4. becoming the best guitarist I could possibly become, and tried to learn as many styles as possible.

Tomell: What did you do at the Italian mass media enterprise where you worked?

Bordoni: I was producing music [and] I worked as a session guitarist. I composed music for TV shows, commercials, anything required of me.

It wasn’t a high-paying job, but a lot of experience for a young musician. Because of having to work with a lot of instruments as a producer, it … allowed me to be more open-minded as a musician. And through working at that studio, I went on tour with a couple Italian artists through Europe.

Tomell: How did you decide to move from Edinburgh to the United States after meeting the American you’d later marry?

Bordoni: She said, ‘I can move to Edinburgh,’ but I said, ‘You have a bigger family in the U.S. I’ll move. That clicked … if I’m going to move to the U.S., I want to teach music. I want to pass [along] some of the joy I got from it.

I came from a little bit of a

Tomell: Where did you first start teaching?

Bordoni: I started on the

side teaching a few lessons in Italy. [And teaching here,] I felt there was a gap between how music is taught between the scholastic system and group lessons. I wanted to fill in that gap to help my [private] students be prepared for music in college. I refined my method. It encapsulates how [guitar, for example,] works with other instruments. We record the performances we do. They’re not recitals. It’s a real experience of working with other instruments as if you are a professional musician.

Tomell: At the benefit concerts over the years, your students have always shared the stage with seasoned performers?

Bordoni: “[When I worked] with people with a lot more experience than me, I had to rise to the occasion. I want these kids to play with musicians who have more experience than them. I called a few friends that donated their time to do these concerts. The first one [drew] 50 people in a small church room. We [repeated] it at the same church room in Geneva and had 150 people, and we raised close

to $7,000 for an orphanage in Lithuania [I was introduced to on a mission trip].

Tomell: What prompted you to start shifting venues, first to EvenFlow in Geneva and then the Arcada Theatre and an audience nearing 600 last year?

Bordoni: I want to inspire these kids. I wanted to get [them] into a theatrical place.

Tomell: Where are some of your former students now?

Bordoni: One of my students has his own recording studio in Nashville. [‘American Idol’ contestant] Kayla Mickelsen is in college. Brian McDonald is in the really popular band Judah & the Lion. [Another] had recently worked with Prince.

Tomell: What message would you like to impart?

Bordoni: How music can be such a powerful medium to do good in the world.

[At] concerts, big fests, you become one big family. It doesn’t matter the color of [your] skin or what country you’re from. We’re one big family. Music is a universal language.

Anna Naltsastzian Bourla uses her 2015 cookbook, “Healthy Greek Cooking” (Pelican Publishing), as a forum to encourage home cooks to derive the positive life-changes that come to those adopting a healthy diet.

For breast cancer survivor Naltsastzian Bourla , who was born on the Greek island of Corfu, that means discovering the good tastes and health benefits offered by sensible, low-fat Mediterranean fare.

The author, who now calls Athens home, learned about classic Greek cuisine from her mother. She passes on information she gleaned on Greek cheeses, olive oil, herbs and spices as well as proper serving and storage of wine.

A fine example of recipes included in the book is Stuffed Cabbage Leaf Rolls (below), known as Lahanodolmades Me Kima. Enjoy.

Arcada Theatre still rocks like a teen On Sept. 6, 1926 – Labor Day – the Arcada Theatre opened its doors in all of its grandeur, as a “Grand Palace” and a gem of the Fox Valley. This month marks the 90th anniversary of that illustrious night, where the St. Charles socialites donned their flowing gowns and crisp tuxedos, attending the combination silent film and Vaudeville presentation. And oh what a presentation it was.

As a self-proclaimed “old-soul” myself, I fell madly in love with this statuesque girl named “Arcada” the moment I laid eyes on her.

When I first walked into the building in February 2005, something special was happening, at least it felt that way. It was more of a presence rather than an actual visual experience. I could almost feel the place buzzing with excitement of the Vaudeville shows and the nickel silent films of days gone by. Mischievous kids with tattered clothes and shoes, sporting “newsboy” caps sneaking into the balcony, while adults in their “Sunday best” outfits would excitingly be attending the performances. It was a classic little sister to the Chicago Theatre, but located in the western suburbs.

The difficult reality, though, was that it was as tattered as those newsboys’ knickers. The building had fallen into disrepair, despite three major renovations in the 1940s, 60s and 80s. At the time of my visit, the programming was basically $4 “brew and view” style movies, with second run films and bottles of beer, which was cool, as it kept the theatre open at that time, but did nothing to maintain its original beauty.

But I saw it. I felt it. The stillpresent souls of the throngs of people 90 years ago who stood in lines around the block just to hear the master pipe organists who the rock stars of the day. They played that marvelous Marr & Colton in concert or along with the silent films, which became so popular that the Geneva Organ Company came in just a few short years later and increased its ranks, making it even more spectacular.

As I delved into the theatre’s history I learned about Lester J. Norris, the cartoonist-turned-millionaire who had an amazing drive, and became an industrialist in his mid-twenties. He married his childhood sweetheart, Dellora Angell Norris, the niece of “Bet A Million” Gates who held the patent on barbed wire and started Texaco Oil, and let his “Walt Disney-like imagination”

theatre on a regular basis, from all over the country. And the way we do it is by showcasing a variety of superstars.

“Variety” is a key word here.

Mickey Rooney, Don Rickles, Jerry Lewis, Frank Sinatra, Jr., Wayne Newton, Connie Francis, Debbie Reynolds and Shirley MacLaine are among the many legendary performers to grace the stage at Arcada Live! Bret Michaels of Poison, Kevin Costner, Weird Al, The Guess Who, Pat Benatar, Boz Scaggs, Michael McDonald, Dennis DeYoung, America and Kansas are just a few of the amazing acts that have perform there semi-regularly.

A huge source of pride for the theatre are the television specials that have been shot there including Joan Rivers’ Showtime Special (her last television stand-up comedy show), Andrew “Dice” Clay’s New Year’s Eve Special for Showtime, Foreigner’s VH1 Special and Richard Marx with Hugh Jackman for PBS. With all these shows and crazy nights behind me, you may wonder what lies ahead! I can only tell you that I am more excited than I have ever been, and I am seeking out and creating new experiences that I am sure the Arcada Theatre audience will love. Yes, I am a maniac about this stuff!

I was recently asked what I thought Lester J. Norris would say about the theatre today. I think he would have that young-boy smile, as excited as I am, and be front and center for every show. What I am most proud of is not solely keeping the Arcada Theatre alive, especially during the height of the recent economic downfall, but knowing that the passion that opened the theatre lives on, 90 years later, as if it were just opening today. A “newsboy hat” off to you, Lester J. Norris. I proudly, and humbly carry your torch, fostering your memory and your passion. And don’t think that I haven’t seen you peeking out around corners backstage or in our basement dressing rooms. I know you are with us today because the laughter and the joy that filled the Arcada Theatre in the Roaring Twenties resounds today, 90 years later.

‘Rumors’ to take Kaneland High School stage

By SUZANNE FLYNN

editorial@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK – Kaneland High School is doing something different this year for their fall play.

“Rumors” by Neil Simon is a comedy, with plenty of adult humor and some adult language, but Kaneland’s director Christina Staker felt this was the right time to bring it to Kaneland.

“This play is one of the most commonly done plays done by high schools across the county, and even though there is some adult language, I think it’s time we bring something different to our community,” Staker said.

Another important factor when picking which play the school will put on is how many parts are male and female in the play.

“There were nearly equal male and female parts in this play, so it was another winner in my mind,” she said.

“Rumors” is about a group of friends who get together for a couple’s anniversary dinner party when something crazy happens. The host has shot himself in the earlobe and his wife is missing. Rumors start flying about what has happened and this creates some ridiculously funny situations throughout the entire play.

Auditions for the play took place Aug. 31 and Sept. 1. This was the first year that students had to prepare a one-minute monologue for their audition.

“Cold readings are much different than monologues and some students do much better when they are able to practice and prepare their readings, just like they would when they are rehearsing or performing on stage,” Staker said.

Staker was able to cast 20 students – 10 leads and 10 understudies.

“We had about 30 students try out for the play,” Staker said. “This is about average. We usually range between 30 and 35 auditions for the fall play.”

Emily Vandliner-Birchfield handles the set design for the play.

She recruits students and parents as volunteers.

“This year, I have built the interior design of the set into my art class curriculum,” Vandliner-Birchfield said. “It’s the first time I’ve ever done

that, but because the set takes place basically in a small space, my students will be able to design the overall set and get recognition for that.”

The play can’t go on without the technical duties of those behind the scenes. The lights and sound crew is run by Maria Dripps-Paulson, Kaneland auditorium manager. She, along with tech professionals, puts together a 20-student tech crew and teaches them to do it all.

Dripps-Paulson is also in charge of selling tickets and managing the house during the shows.

“We’re very excited for the play; it’s the most modern play we’re ever done,” Staker said. “I think everyone will enjoy the humor of it – especially the parents with the adult humor weaved in.”

The most common are the bush honeysuckles, Amur (L. maackii), Morrows (L. morrowii), Tartarian (L. tatarica), and Winter (L. fragrantissima). These exotic honeysuckles are the first to leaf out in spring and the last to drop leaves in the fall. Their spring flowers are fragrant and their red berries add fall color.

Bush honeysuckles can be so detrimental to natural areas that they are among the 26 plants covered by the Illinois Exotic Weed Act. See the list at http://ill-inps.org/images/ExoticWeedAct_NRES2601.pdf. According to the Act, it’s illegal to buy, sell, distribute or plant them in Illinois.

If you already have a listed plant on your property, the law doesn’t regulate ownership or require existing plants to be removed.

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.

The invaders are lurking among us. Invasive plants, that is. The USDA lists 102 invasive plants in Illinois.

See the complete list at http://www. invasive.org/species/list.cfm?id=152.

An invasive plant is a non-native plant that has the potential to be a threat to the economy, human health or natural areas. Two invasive plants that are damaging natural areas are beloved residents of suburbia: the Bradford pear tree and bush honeysuckles.

Look in yards and parkways in the Tri-Cities and you will frequently see a Bradford pear tree (Pyrus calleryana ‘Bradford’). Developed in 1963 from the Callery pear, a native of China, this tree has been used extensively in subdivisions. The Bradford pear doesn’t produce fruit; it’s self-sterile and needs pollen from a different variety to make seeded fruit. Because it’s fast-growing, the Bradford pear has weak wood so the trees often don’t last more than 20 years.

Horticulturalists created other varieties from the Callery pear with stronger wood, but the downside is pollen from these varieties

‘Shakespeare (abridged)’ to condense laughs at Steel Beam

By RENEE TOMELL

rtomell@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – A cram course covering every Shakespeare play is a comedy roller coaster about to careen into Steel Beam Theatre in St. Charles as its 16th season opener.

Bringing “The Complete Works of Wm. Shakespeare (abridged)” to the stage will be a core of Batavia talent, including Director Jesse Hicks and three of the four performers, Lori Holm, Julie Bayer and Jennifer Reeves Wilson, who are joined by Heidi Swarthout of Oswego.

“It’s one of those plays that’s constantly moving [and] gives a lot of information,” Hicks said. “It’s a good way to start with Shakespeare.”

The show, filled with contemporary references, originated as an

“The script we’re using is revised,” Hicks said. “We have updated it to make reference to current

topics, even the elections.”

Before this play, he said he had taken a break from theater to become a stay-at-home dad for four years, having previously directed and written children’s shows in the suburbs and Chicago.

This production became especially appealing because it allowed him to collaborate with his wife, cast member Reeves Wilson, who’s making her fourth appearance in a show they relish, and in which she now will have played every role.

“Most of the people we know love Shakespeare; it’s nice to satire him on occasion,” Hicks said.

Reeves Wilson said audience members have their own chance to get into the act as they explore what makes Ophelia tick in the second half about “Hamlet.”

“The show is for people who don’t think they like [or understand] Shakespeare,” she said. “[They] get a whirlwind tour of it. It’s almost like the Marx Brothers. You catch a joke and they’re already on to the next one.”

The cast started rehearsals back in May to prepare for the frenetic pacing of the show.

“It’s a lot of fun to work with some of the funniest, most talented women working locally in theater in the area,” Reeves Wilson said. “As much fun as we’re having, we want [the audience] to share that experience.”

The couple’s children, Roland, 5, and Keaton, 2, are gaining an introduction to theater on the home front, where the specialized props and costuming for the show are taking

shape – from the head of Macbeth to the ghost of Hamlet’s father. Roland is picking up the lingo and contributing his suggestions to the designs.

Reeves Wilson said having children helps develop “a fine sense of the absurd.” And absurd is part of the charm of this show.

Reeves Wilson praises the caliber of Steel Beam Theatre, where she appeared after graduating college in the early 2000s, first under the leadership of Donna Steele

and now Marge Uhlarik-Boller, whom she describes as an amazing director.

“Marge is the right woman we needed to pick [Steel Beam] up and keep it going,” she said.

In announcing the fresh season, SBT Artistic Director Uhlarik-Boller said the coming show commemorates the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, adding, “We had the opportunity to mount this production with an insanely talented group of actors and a fine director. The timing seemed right for the beginning of our 16th season – one we are billing as ‘all comedy, all the time.’”

Joshua Tree plans fundraiser Sept. 17

By BRENDA SCHORY

bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Five days a week, 20 members of The Joshua Tree Community volunteer locally under the direction of founder Amy Singer.

These intellectually disabled adults meet every day at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Geneva, sell lemonade and crafts on Fridays at the farmers market at Baker Memorial Methodist Church in St. Charles, tend their own plot at the James O’Breen Community Garden and they volunteer every Monday at the Northern Illinois Food Bank in Geneva.

“We come together to grow and learn, to have fun, and to make new friends,” Singer wrote in the introduction to the nonprofit she started in 2014. “We want to be seen as capable, unique individuals. We want the world to know who we truly are, to recognize the potential we all hold deep inside.”

In order to continue to support

and expand The Joshua Tree Community’s programs, a fundraiser will be from 6 to 9 p.m. Sept. 17 at the Northern Illinois Food Bank, 273 Dearborn Court, Geneva, Singer said.

Tickets are $40 for individuals or $300 for a table of eight. The event includes dinner, a silent auction and a trivia game by table with Geneva Mayor Kevin Burns as emcee, Singer said.

Children younger than 10 can attend for free. Tickets are available by email contact@joshuatreecommunity, by calling Singer at 630-485-1064 or online through Event Brite.

“This is our second fundraiser,” Singer said. “Last year, we were at St. Mark’s and about 100 people attended. We raised $7,000. We’d love to raise $15,000 from this one. We’d like to fill the place, which is 240 people.”

Singer said more realistically, she thinks about 150 will attend this year.

“We have room for more [than 20] and we are looking at expanding – but we want to get through this fundraiser first,” Singer said.

The Mexican fiesta will be prepared by Jennifer Lamplough, director of nutrition programs at the food bank, Singer said.

Lamplough’s menu offers a guacamole and salsa bar, cheese enchiladas, pork or roasted vegetable tacos, rice and beans.

“We volunteer at the food bank every Monday for two years and she fell in love with our group,” Singer said. “We won the ‘Most Inspirational Volunteer Group’ last year at the food bank. We will pay for the food, but she is on our committee and cooking for us.”

The silent auction prizes include two round-trip Southwest Airline e-passes; a $25 gift card to Lou Malnati’s; a $90 gift card to Otterbox; a one-month adult membership to Delnor Fitness Center; two handcrafted items from Knit One, Felt too; colored pencil fine art drawing

by Linda Palmer; a basket from basketmaker Ellen Phillips; women’s sunglasses and a free eye exam from Pearle Vision; dinner and wine pairing for four in your home, a $500 value; two Chicago Symphony Orchestra tickets; and a Brookfield Zoo parking pass with six general admission passes.

Guests will also bid as tables on desserts donated by 21 restaurants and individuals in an additional fundraising effort called the Dessert Dash, Singer said.

Donations for the Dessert Dash include apple pie from Kuipers Family Farm in Maple Park; bacon and bourbon baklava from Nobel House, a churro cake from The Sugar Path, chocolate cake and cupcakes from Sweet Natalie’s and pie and pineapple upside down cake from The Fresh Market, all in Geneva; banana cream pie from Karla’s Konfections in Roselle; brownies from Harner’s Bakery and a Mexican fiesta themed cake from The Cakery, both in North Aurora.

Reading to dogs seems like a great first step Kids, dogs and books. Yay! Huge fan of all three, here. Put ‘em all together and whaddya get? A brilliant idea! I recently heard news about the beautiful “Reading to Rover” activity happening Sept. 18 during the PetsAPalooza Pet Parade and Festival, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Mooseheart Child City & School in Batavia, and just had to share it.

Dog trainers and volunteers from FoxGem dog training plan to provide a Reading to Rover spot in which children visiting the festival may read a story to a new furry friend.

Terri Vaira, FoxGem owner and certified American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen evaluator reports that “These types of sessions are not meant to teach children how to read, but instead are intended to help children become comfortable reading,” she said. “Positive results are frequently immediate in that the child’s audience (in this case, a dog) listens with no judgement on the

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff also less fat, because they burn more fat and store less of it.

In other words, it appears that brown fat wards off obesity.

These findings would be interesting – but not particularly relevant – if we couldn’t control the amount of white and brown fat in our bodies. But ongoing research suggests we can.

My colleagues at Harvard have recently discovered natural chemicals in all of us that affect the number of white and brown fat cells. One is a molecule called irisin. This hormone is produced by muscle cells, particularly when those cells are regularly exercised. It circulates through the blood and transforms white fat cells into brown fat cells.

When obese mice with insulin resistance are given injections of irisin, they lose weight and have reduced insulin resistance.

This discovery has excited scientists, for obvious reasons. If it worked the same way in humans, and without side effects, it could have huge health benefits.

A word of caution: Many “silver bullets” for obesity have come and gone.

Still, I’d bet on this newly discovered molecule, and on other advances triggered by the discovery that we adult humans have brown fat within us.

Thursday, September 15, 2016 • KCChronicle.com / The Herald *

Dear Dr. K: In a column about abdominal fat, you talked about two kinds of fat – brown fat and white fat. I’d like to hear more about them.

Dear Reader: I’m glad you asked, because the discovery of these two types of fat could prove to be very important.

In the column you refer to, I discussed how visceral, or abdominal, fat (which accumulates deep inside the abdomen) is more harmful to our health than subcutaneous fat (the fat just beneath the skin).

But when it comes to fat, it’s not just location that matters. Color counts, too – and brown is better.

Humans and other mammals have two types of fat: white fat and brown fat.

(There may also be a third kind that’s in between, sometimes called “beige fat.”)

Until very recently, we thought that adult humans had only white fat. We knew some adult animals had brown fat, and that human babies did, too. But we thought babies lost their brown fat as they grew older.

Discoveries at Harvard Medical School found that all of us maintain some brown fat cells throughout our life.

Why is this important? White fat cells store fat. When we get “fat” – when those love handles start to appear – that’s because we’re growing more and bigger white fat cells.

Brown fat cells, on the other hand, don’t store fat; they burn it. They are brown because they contain lots of mitochondria, the energy factories inside each cell.

The mitochondria in brown fat cells burn fat to create one kind of energy: heat.

Animals with relatively more brown fat are less likely to develop insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes. They’re

52 Living at home stops

grad from being herself Dear Abby: I

DEAR ABBY am a bisexual female college Jeanne graduate living Phillips at home, and an only child. I have had one sexual encounter with a woman but never a relationship. I have, however, had relationships with men.

I came out to my mother when I was a teenager. She didn’t believe me, but did say that she would not mention it to my other parents or family members. (I have two stepparents as both biological parents remarried.)

I am considering – if I find a woman to go on a date with/be with – pursuing a lesbian relationship. However, I am not financially independent and won’t be for many years.

My problem is I’m afraid to do it while I am living at home. My cousins, friends and ex-boyfriends all know, just not my parents, grandparents, aunts, etc. Do I try for my own happiness and hope for the best, or defer my happiness and only date men? – Scared To Be Who I Am Dear Scared: You are no longer a teen-

ager; you’re an adult now. You should be entitled to have the kind of relationship with which you are most comfortable. If your cousins know about the fact that you are bisexual, the chances are that so do their parents. However, if coming out now would mean that you would be out on the street, I’m advising you to keep your mouth shut and bide your time until you are independent.

Dear Abby: My family and I are all travelers. Recently, some issues have arisen with them about the way they regard my mode of travel. They prefer flying versus driving. I don’t. Because of my size.

I can’t fit into an airplane seat and buckle the seat belt without an extender. I’m always worried that I’ll be forced to buy an extra seat or won’t be allowed to fly because of my weight, and it is stressful. I have tried for years to lose weight, but have gotten only to the point where I’m maintaining my weight.

I fit comfortably in my car. I can get the seat belt buckled, and I don’t have to inconvenience other passengers.

My family is now trying to discourage me from taking future trips with them because I won’t fly.

They claim it’s because I’m single and normally travel by myself. I’m in my mid30s and have traveled solo for years. Any suggestions on how to help them understand my choice? – Frustrated Solo Heavy

Traveler Dear Frustrated: Your family may be do-

ing this in an attempt to “encourage” you to work harder at losing weight. However, if you are more comfortable traveling by car, then that’s what you should be doing.

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

Marijuana often is a gateway drug Dr. Wallace: You stated that marijuana is a gateway drug that can lead to more potent drugs such as cocaine and heroin. That’s not fact; it’s just a myth. I should know. I smoke pot, but I have never, ever tried any other illegal drug! –

Nameless, South Bend, Indiana Nameless: It’s fact, not myth,

that marijuana is a gateway drug that can lead to the abuse of harder substances. In a University of Virginia survey of more than 5,000 cocaine drug addicts, over 90 percent said they started their drug use with marijuana. The fact is, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, marijuana is the most widely used illicit drug in America and tends to be the first illegal drug teens use.

In a survey of high school seniors, 20.7 percent said they had used marijuana at least once in the past year.

The good news, according to the American Council for Drug Education, is that the majority of teens (72 percent) who had smoked marijuana do not go on to other illegal drugs.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 19 and I quit school when I turned 17 because I didn’t like school and wanted to work and earn money. Even though I don’t have a high school diploma, I am very intelligent. But my problem is that every time I apply for a better-paying job, I’m turned down because I do not have a high school diploma.

Some of my friends, who are not as intelligent as I am, are making more money and have a much brighter economic future than I do. I don’t think it’s fair that I am denied a good job because I do not have that “piece of paper.”

I could have had a diploma if I had stayed in school. But I thought school was boring and a big waste of time. It’s too late for me to go back to school now. What can I do to improve my chances of getting a better job? – Kenneth, Brooklyn,

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace New York Kenneth: It’s not too late for you

to go back to school! Stop by your old high school and speak with a counselor. Some schools offer evening classes and all will advise you how to earn a GED, the equivalent of a high school diploma. There’s absolutely no reason for you to continue to suffer the consequences of a decision you made when you were younger.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 15-year-old girl who has been short all my life.

Presently, I am barely 5 feet tall.

Both of my parents are of average height and my older brother is taller than both of them. I am actively involved in athletics and was wondering if participation in sports has stunted my growth. What do you think? – Toni, Ames, Iowa.

Toni: Your participation in athletics has not stunted your growth -- not even a tiny millimeter. The two prime factors in a person’s height are heredity and diet. Somewhere in your family tree was a relatively short person and the person’s genes were passed on to you. Don’t despair! You still have a few years left to grow taller. But, there is nothing wrong with being a healthy, robust 5 feet tall!

Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and have been dating a really great guy for over eight weeks. He’s my very first boyfriend and we have wonderful times when we go out together.

Things are almost perfect for us, but the one problem is that my boyfriend is putting a lot of pressure on me to have sex. He knows that I’m a virgin because I told him already that I plan to stay a virgin, but now he is still pursuing the sex thing. He keeps insisting that a steady relationship should include a commitment for both

individuals to have sex and share the “ultimate” in love. Last night he said I could think it over for a week, but if my answer is no, then the relationship is over.

Of course, my answer will still be no, but I’m asking for a little moral support from you because I can’t possibly discuss this with my mom. She thinks this guy is wonderful and I surely don’t want her to know about his sexual aggression. Please help. – Monica, Erie,

Pennsylvania Monica: A guy who breaks up

with a girl because she won’t have sex with him doesn’t really care for her. He’s more interested in satisfying his lust than sharing love.

Good for you for being so resolute!

And please be aware, even if you had given in to his demands, you probably would have broken up with him soon anyway.

Teen relationship that include sex rarely last, and I have thousands of letters and e-mails to prove it.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 18 and have recently graduated from high school. At school all of my friends knew me as Sandy. My legal first name is Slabion, if you can believe that. I was named after a grandfather who lived in Eastern Europe.

I’d like to change my first name to Sandifer. That way I could still be called Sandy. I want to make the change now, before I start college.

Of course, my dad doesn’t like the idea, but he told me to change my name if I want to. Do you see any reason why I shouldn’t? – Sandy,

Chicago Sandy: I see no reason why

you shouldn’t change your name.

Yes, legally change your name to Sandifer and make Slabion your middle name. This will make dad happy. And when you sign your name, Sandifer S., no one will know your secret!

Anne Frank wrote, “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”

We have a wonderful convention for showing a single card in a suit -- a splinter bid. It worked wonders on this deal. But, first, how should South play in six spades after West leads the club queen?

When South showed four spades (and denied four hearts) in answer to Stayman, North jumped to four diamonds, a splinter bid, indicating at least four-card spade support and game-going values with a singleton (or void) in diamonds. This slight overbid was music to South’s ears, who no longer feared three fast diamond losers. He control-bid four hearts, then jumped to six spades when partner settled for four spades.

South seems to have one loser in each minor and only 11 winners: five spades, four hearts and two clubs.

Where might he find an extra trick?

Winners most often come from a ruff in the shorter trump hand or establishment of a long suit. Here, each is impossible. Unusually, declarer must play for ruffs in the longer trump hand.

He wins with his club ace and plays a trump to dummy. (With this layout, he must not cash the spade ace or jack.) Then South loses a diamond. Let’s say West wins and leads another trump. Declarer wins on the board, plays a club to his king, ruffs a diamond, leads a heart to the ace, ruffs his last diamond, draws trumps (overtaking dummy’s king with his ace), and claims. He has taken four spades, four hearts, two clubs and those two diamond ruffs.
