Fundraiser set for Casey’s Safe Haven

By SUSAN O’NEILL

editorial@kcchronicle.com ELBURN – Casey’s Safe Haven, a horse rescue organization located on Brundige Road near Elburn, will host its fifth annual fall fundraiser, Galloping to the Rescue, on Oct. 8.

The fundraiser will be hosted this year at the McCannon Farm in Big Rock, home to Farm Friends, a nonprofit organization that offers programs, workshops, therapeutic programs and activities for people with unique needs in learning, communication, behavioral, social or emotional challenges.

The event, which Sue Balla, president and founder of Casey’s, said is the rescue’s biggest fundraiser of the year, will feature a home-cooked barbecue buffet by Dave’s Slow Food, music with a DJ and dancing, wine and beer, a 50/50 raffle and prizes.

Dress is casual, and guests will have a chance to meet the resident llama, goats, donkeys, pigs and chickens who live at the farm.

The featured guest will be Jacqueline Helton-Briggs, a Kentucky woman who was reunited at Casey’s with her childhood pony after a 28-year search.

Helton-Briggs has written a book about her journey and will officially release her book at the fundraiser. She will sign each book sold, which also will feature a signature hoof print from her beloved pony.

Helton-Briggs was a college student

Helton-Briggs had grown up with Knickers and was heartbroken, so she set out to find her friend.

She never gave up looking. Then, in November 2014, she was scrolling through a website called petfinder.com when she saw what she knew was her pony. After an emotional reunion at Casey’s, where Balla had spent the previous two years nursing the 38-yearold horse back to health, Knickers, or Autumn as she was named at Casey’s, went home with Helton-Briggs.

Casey’s is a holistic healing haven and sanctuary for horses, ponies and

donkeys, many of whom come from pony ride groups when they are no longer of use to their owners. Several have been rescued from “kill pens,” where horses are kept while awaiting the slaughterhouse.

Once a horse reaches Casey’s Safe Haven, Balla’s promise is that the animal will have a safe and comfortable home where they will be cared for and loved. Many of the ponies have spent their lives walking in a circle. They are old now, some blind, some with foot or teeth problems, others with health issues and many undernourished. As Balla said, they’ve earned their retirement.

The hope is to get them healthy and hopefully to find them a loving home and family where they can live out the rest of their days.

One such family in Maple Park, Todd and Lorri Buss, and their daughter, Brooke, just adopted a 35-year-old donkey named Rufus, a 33-year-old pony named Pearl and a 1-year-old pony named Amigo, who was recently rescued from a kill pen.

Brooke, who now lives in Geneva, said her dad has owned horses in the past, and she is eager to learn all she can to help her parents provide the best care possible for their new animals.

Casey’s Safe Haven is supported completely by donations. Balla said she hopes people will come to the fundraiser with open hearts and wallets to allow her to continue to do what she and her volunteers do best.

Giant Steps making great strides for individuals with autism Annual 5K Walk for Autism set Oct. 1 at Rich Harvest Farms

By SUZANNE FLYNN

editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – Started 20 years ago as an elementary school for children with autism, Giant Steps has evolved into so much more today.

As those elementary-aged kids became high school students, and now adults, Giant Steps has grown with them and learned to provide for them as well.

“As our student population aged out of our high school program, we quickly learned that there were no local programs specifically designed for autistic adults,” said Garrett Slemmons, senior director of Canopy development.

“They needed something that serviced the entire autism spectrum, something that would fit their needs on an individual basis. There was nothing – so we created it.”

Started in Lisle in May 2012, Canopy is a day program for adults on the autistic spectrum. The second Canopy location was opened in 2015 in Sugar Grove and is at 264 Main St. Right now, the entire program meets year-round

and serves 22 individuals between the ages of 22 and 33.

“Each day includes a theme,” Slemmons said. “One day may be a community day where they go out and explore the town of Sugar Grove; another may be a cooking program with a lesson, or a swimming day, and another day they go to Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove and work in the garden, stables or do office work. We’re teaching them important life skills as well as engaging them within the community.”

Rich Harvest Farms and Giant Steps began a partnership a few years ago and have been working together more closely ever since. Jerry Rich, owner and president of Rich Harvest Farms, got involved with Giant Steps and the Canopy program when it was just an idea.

“It’s always been important to Mr. Rich to help create a better opportunity for people and to help give them a better life,” said Keely Haag, Canopy liaison for Rich Harvest Farms. “Every single participant in Canopy has the opportunity to grow in some way. Giant Steps had the resources they needed to do so, and Mr. Rich had the funding available to help them succeed.”

“We are excited about the future of Giant Steps and Canopy and our

Keep your

PET HEALTHY all throughout the FALL SEASON!

future with Rich Harvest Farms,” Slemmons said. “We’re excited to be in the Sugar Grove community and to be growing.”

Giant Steps is now starting a campaign to raise money to build its own community campus on the Rich Harvest Farms property. The 27,000-squarefoot property will be the future home of Canopy and will allow Giant Steps to serve 100 adults.

“Our new campus will be perfect for us to interact with the community,” Slemmons said. “We will be excited to offer the community access to our new campus and give them a place to hold events, trainings and other functions once it’s completed.”

The current Canopy Adult Services in Sugar Grove will be hosting an open house from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Oct. 22.

Families with autistic adult children, potential participants, school districts, community partners and corporate sponsors are invited to come tour the Sugar Grove location at 264 Main St., as well as Rich Harvest Farms – the future expansion site of Canopy. Reservations are required. To register, visit mygiantsteps.org. For information, contact Tara Oetting, community relations coordinator, at toetting@mygiantsteps.org or 630-864-3853.

The community can join Giant Steps in its sixth annual 5K Walk for Autism presented by Navistar from 8:30 a.m. to noon Oct. 1 at Rich Harvest Farms, 7S771 Dugan Road, Sugar Grove. The event will include children’s arts and crafts activities, and Giant Steps staff will be on hand to showcase its music therapy and occupational therapy.

Lunch will be provided.

Last year’s event raised more than $100,000, and the organization is hoping to raise $125,000 this year. Walkers who raise more than $150 will receive a walk T-shirt, and the top fundraising team will participate in the ribbon cutting and lead the walkers at this year’s walk.

“There were [more than] 600 walkers last year, and we’re hoping for an even better turn out this year,” walk coordinator Jamie Duffy said. “We are encouraging the community to come out and join us to learn about Giant Steps and the Canopy program and help us raise money for our programs.

Although the event is free to attend, registration is required. For information and to register, visit mygiantsteps. org/walk2016.

Kaneland School District 302’s current fund balance and how to potentially spend it was discussed Sept. 26 during its regular Board of Education meeting, but a consensus was not reached.

As of today, the state still owes the district about $1 million from fiscal year 2016 and the current operating fund balance at the end of the fiscal year is about $10.4 million. The final surplus is expected to be about $3.2 million.

Associate superintendent Julie-Ann Fuchs said, “the [Finance Advisory Committee] does not recommend that we continue to grow the fund balance intentionally nor spend it intentionally until the state becomes more stable.

“When will that be? The crystal ball is very fuzzy; however, if the board wants to spend some fund balance or use that, the [committee] would support it for one-time expenditures such as capital projects.”

Fuchs recommended that the board direct the administration to maintain the current fund policy, not intentionally grow or shrink the balance, to use

fund balance solely for capital projects and to allocate an additional $250,000 for capital projects when planning for the 2017-18 budget.

Board president Teresa Witt voiced her concern about such spending.

“If they recommend to not intentionally spend down that fund balance, how do we justify buying buses? And, a lot of buses,” she said. “I’m having trouble seeing how that goes along with the recommendation to not intentionally spend down.”

Board member Ryan Kerry argued how the money should be allocated.

“I guess I’m struggling because these are tax dollars that are not [used] to build schools or for long-term capital,” he said.

“It’s money that we got this year, and tax payers expect us to spend [it] this year. If we don’t spend the $3.2 million this year, in my mind, that money was collected and meant to be spent and it hasn’t.”

Witt voiced concerns to Fuchs about potential liability for the unknown impacts this could have on future budgets, primarily with pension shifts and a property tax freeze.

Kaneland school board mulls funds and potential spending

For the birds I witnessed a great learning experience as students at the Montessori Academy in Batavia fed and watered the four hens they are raising in a coop on the school’s campus.

The three students in charge of the tasks quickly went about their chores, which included gathering wood chips for the roosting area, filling the water jugs, mixing the feed and collecting the eggs.

After changing out of the rubber boots she wore to walk into the chicken coop, 10-year-old fifth-grader Grace Nelson changed back into her tennis shoes. That was when I noticed just how much the fifth-grader loved chickens as she showed off her chicken-themed socks.

those who do not, Brennan said.

The reason is simple: In an age where research helps people decide what to buy, if your business isn’t providing the information people need, another business will, he said. “[If you’re] a plumber, it might serve you well to have a how-to blog post on how to fix a leaky sink,” he continued. “If I had a problem with my sink here, I’m exactly the type of person who might [read the post], pull out a wrench and get to step three and say, ‘I’m not doing this.’ Who am I going to call? The person who wrote that post.”

Brian Basilico of Aurora, a content marketing consultant and coach who has worked with Brennan for years, praised the book.

“The biggest thing is the system he’s put together, step by step,” Basilico said. “Most people open up a free blog and just start writing. I think [Matt’s book] really gives blogging a little more of a framework and defines more of its purpose.”

One of Brennan’s tips explains how business owners can differentiate themselves from the competition by sprinkling personal anecdotes into blogs and website content.

Brennan, for example, shares on his book jacket that he’s a sucker for the

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.

“I’ve had 5-minute conversations about the Cubs before we even talk business,” he said. “By the time you’re talking about their [business], they trust you that much more. It’s something I’ve done personally, but it’s something that works and something all businesses should try to a certain extent.”

Basilica, a four-time author, penned a foreword for Brennan, saying Brennan’s book is quality.

“I love it, love it, love it,” he said.

“I think it’s in a very easy-to-digest format, and for the average person it makes a good case for why you need to blog. A lot of people know they need to do it, but they don’t get it … . He lays out the basics that make it less intimidating.

SUGAR GROVE – Chances are, if you’re reading this article, you’re not a journalist.

Matt Brennan of Sugar Grove is counting on that.

Brennan, 36, is a freelance writer who works with various businesses providing website content, blogs, social media posts and more.

The former journalist has found that many business owners realize they should create quality content for their websites – specifically a business blog – to help attract customers, but they’re not sure how to do so.

Aiming to help small-business owners – or anyone who wants to learn how to blog more effectively – he wrote “Write Right – Sell Now: How to Create Content that Will Grow Your Business.”

The 142-page book will be available for $12.99 starting Oct. 4 on Amazon. com. Town House Books in St. Charles also is going to carry the book, Brennan said.

“A lot of the stuff that we learn as journalists … might not come as second nature to somebody who is coming at this from the outside,” he said.

“I go through a bunch of techniques

and strategies that business owners can use to make their content a little more friendly to the reader or potential customer.”

Brennan, who has 10 years of journalism ex- Matt perience and six years of Brennan marketing experience, said some businesses provide aggressive advertising copy on their websites because that’s the only way they know how to share a message.

But that’s not the type of content that does well online, Brennan said.

“Journalists have been trained in how to write to engage people for a long, long time,” Brennan said. “And for business owners, that’s a little bit new. With the internet and with blogging and with web content, that’s different than taking out a newspaper ad.

[Blogging] is not such a hard sell. It’s not that direct. It’s more about providing information. It’s about providing value to the reader on a consistent basis and building trust, building an authentic relationship and moving on from there.”

The marketing website Hubspot notes that business-to-business companies that blog generate 67 percent more leads than

CHS Elburn Coop Feed Store to close; sales begin this week

By SUSAN ONEILL

editorial@kcchronicle.com The CHS Elburn Coop Feed Store, serving customers since the Elburn Coop first opened for business in 1921, will permanently shut its doors Oct. 7.

The store, located at 202 W. North St., Elburn, was a part of the original farmer-owned co-op created 95 years ago to serve local farmer producers with their crop needs.

The co-op, recently purchased by CHS Inc., will continue to provide service in its core areas, providing seed, fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides; grain handling and storage; selling of diesel and gasoline to operate farming machinery; and helping to provide a marketplace for farmers to sell their crops.

The Elburn Coop acquired its Meredith Road location in 1978, and since 1999, it has expanded its business to 12 locations in north central Illinois and south-central Wisconsin.

CHS Inc., a global agribusiness owned by farmers, ranchers and cooperatives across the United States, purchased the Elburn Coop in 2015.

According to a news release, CHS, a Fortune 100 company, supplies energy, crop nutrients, grain marketing services, animal feed, food and food ingredients, as well as insurance, financial and risk-management services. The company operates petroleum refineries and pipelines, and manufactures, markets and distributes refined fuels and other energy products.

Although the store has been open for business for the past 95 years, it expanded into the retail market in 2004, with the opening of Blackberry Station.

Blackberry Station sold horse tack, horse and other pet feed as well as specialty items, such as bird feeders and bird feed, dog and cat treats and other pet care products.

Facing a number of competitors for its retail products, including big-box stores and other local suppliers, the retail operation closed in 2014.

The store will host an inventory-reduction sale, beginning this week, with discounts from 10 percent to 40 percent off of items such as birdseed, animal bedding and pet food.

I bumped into an old friend the other day as I was walking along Second Street in Geneva. It had been awhile since we’d last met, which was all the more reason, I thought, to stop and get reacquainted with – and to introduce others to – this little, and little-known, neighbor.

Meet Sandalus spp., a member of an extraordinary genus of insects known as the cicada parasite beetles.

I first learned of these guys a few years ago when one, quite literally, dropped in on us during a third-grade field trip we were hosting out in the Hickory Knolls Natural Area. One of our instructors, Kim Haag, was directing the students in an activity when she happened to look down. Hooked onto her leg was not, thankfully, a third-grader, but rather an insect that measured about an inch long – big enough to notice, yet not so large as to be daunting or scary.

Mostly brown with a black pronotum (the plate-like structure behind the head), his coloring was attractive but not remarkable. Its antennae, though, were nothing short of spectacular.

Another of our intrepid instructors, Jeanette Joy, who had been playing the role of a Potawatomi native, came over and agreed that the beetle was unlike any she had seen before. Clad in traditional native attire and surrounded by artifacts that dated back hundreds of years, Jeanette reached for the most relevant tool she could find – her cellphone – and proceeded to snap several pictures of the decidedly unique critter.

From there, the race was on to identify the little bugger. Thanks once again to our favorite online field guide, BugGuide.net, it wasn’t too hard to track down the beetle’s family, Rhipiceridae, the cedar beetles. As beetle families go, this one’s pretty small, with only one genus – the aforementioned Sandalus – and five species occurring in North America.

I’m hesitant to try to identify this insect down to species since very little is known about the family. But to me, the exact name doesn’t matter as much as what its ecological niche, or job, is.

Sandalus beetles parasitize cicada nymphs and serve as an important means of controlling the cicada population. Female beetles are gifted with the ability to track down the slits in tree branches where female cicadas laid their eggs. The female beetles lay their eggs in or near the same location, which sets the stage for the next astounding phase in this fascinating insect’s life cycle.

Sandalus larvae go through what is known as hypermetamorphosis.

Help me look for cicada parasite beetles

Having spent the majority of their lives underground in larval form, adult female and male cicada parasite beetles are emerging to complete the final phase of their life cycle. Look for them on trunks of trees in areas where summertime cicada populations are high, Pam Otto writes.

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto Whereas most baby beetles spend their immature life stages as lumpy grubs, young Sandalus larvae start out as triungulins – silverfish-like creatures with well-developed legs, which they use to dig down, down underground, to where the cicada nymphs are feeding on tree roots.

Once attached to nymph, the larvae assume a more grub-like form; they feed and molt several times before finally pupating and emerging as adults. From there, the race is on to find a partner and get that next generation started before winter’s cold sets in and the current members dispatch for good.

One adaptation adult Sandalus individuals share with many other types of insects, and one that aids in expediency during this final life stage, is that they have no need to feed. Their nutrient requirements were fulfilled in their larval phase by those under-

ground cicada nymphs.

Right now, which is quite late in the year – at least in our area – for insects to be procreating, female cicada parasite beetles are gathering on tree trunks, probably near where they emerged from the ground. Males fly about, relying on those fantastic antennae to detect the females’ chemical cues.

The unusual timing of this activity, combined with the unmistakable antennae on Sandalus males, makes this a fun activity to track down and observe. The female beetle I found in Geneva was right at the corner of Second and State streets, so that might be one place to look. Another is the Hickory Knolls Natural Area, where the beetles tend to pop up near the old archery course midway through the 130-acre parcel. Besides the male that landed on Kim three years ago, I’ve found several females on the gravel trails and old roadbeds in that region of the park.

If you should be lucky enough to find one, or some, take some notes on where, when and what it, or they, were doing. Even better, take some

photos, too. Then, if you get a chance, let me know what you’ve found.

In the process, you’ll get to know a new friend, and I can get better reacquainted with an old one.

If you’re a fan of things like cicada parasite beetles, you may be interested in meeting others who share that special sort of enthusiasm. If so, mark your calendars for the first week in December. The coordinating partners of Kane County Certified Naturalists, a yearlong, adult-level nature education program, are ramping up for another fun-filled session that will begin in January. We will be hosting KCCN information meetings at 7 p.m.

Dec. 1 at Hickory Knolls and again at 10 a.m. Dec. 3 at Creek Bend Nature Center, which is located within LeRoy Oakes Forest Preserve on Dean Street in St. Charles. I’ll be there, and I hope you will, 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 630-5134346 or editorial@kcchronicle.com.

Elburn Chamber of Commerce to host first Business Expo

By SUSAN ONEILL

editorial@kcchronicle.com Elburn businesses and nonprofit organizations will gather Oct. 10 at Kaneland John Stewart Elementary School for the Elburn Chamber of Commerce’s first Business Expo.

The expo will be an opportunity for Elburn-area businesses to network with each other, as well as showcase their products and services to the general community. The event will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

There is no charge for admission, and parking is free.

“This will be an opportunity to network with other local businesses and to put a spotlight, not only on Bob Jass, but on what Elburn and the surrounding area businesses have to offer,” said Ryan Easter, general manager of Bob Jass Chevrolet.

Event organizer Dave Broz, owner of Railside Citrus Insurance Agency, said there have been a number of businesses that have expressed interest in participating, and the chamber is looking forward to what it hopes will become an annual event.

Broz said organizers are “definitely still looking for vendors” to take part

in the event, both chamber members and nonmembers alike. The cost for a booth is $50 for chamber members, $75 for nonmembers and $25 for nonprofit organizations.

“For a small town, we have a ton of local businesses and some really great people,” Broz said.

The chamber hopes to feature a variety of business from all sectors of the economy – financial services, insurance agencies, restaurants, heath care and medical services, fitness outlets, information technology services, as well as contractors, home services and landscapers and lawn care.

Chamber administrator Tracy Leach said someone who was looking

to change their auto and homeowners insurance recently called her to see whether there was someone in town who offers those services. She said there are probably a lot of people who don’t realize all that’s available to them right here in town. She sees this Business Expo as a great way for businesses to get their word out.

Broz said the first year of the event will no doubt hold a few surprises; however, he said the school district administrators have been really great to work with.

“They’ve been very supportive and accommodating and helpful in coming up with ideas for us,” he said. “They’ve been a great resource.”

Business and nonprofit organizations interested in participating in the Business Expo should call Dave Broz at 630-465-8890 or the Chamber office at 630-365-2295.

“People are starting to realize that Elburn is a little jewel out here in the Fox Valley. I’ve been seeing new customers and fresh faces, and people are realizing that Elburn is not that far from the Randall Road corridor,” Easter said. “It’s beautiful out here, and the people are nice. I’m seeing my business grow year-over-year.”

NANCY KNIGHTS

Born: March 24, 1946 Died: September 24, 2016 Nancy Hayes Johnson Knights passed away peacefully, surrounded by NJ, Becca and Holly, on September 24, 2016, after a beautiful and fulfilling life.

Call forg caterin s option

Nancy was born March 24th, 1946, in Cambridge, MA. She spoke fondly of her childhood spent in Galesburg, IL, where she was raised by her mother, Janet, and her beloved grandfather, “Bopie.” Stories of her childhood centered around her friends, aka “The Prairie Street Gang,” Pixie the cat and her other animals that couldn’t walk by themselves (she would never call them stuffed!), and dancing with her doorknob to records playing on her portable Victrola.

She always beamed when she reminisced about attending the University of Iowa, where she loved her writing classes and hanging out at Joe’s Place. After Iowa, she moved to Chicago where she became Director of Human Resources with Health Service Inc. and then with International Harvester, both located on Michigan Avenue, until 1981.She was incredibly proud of her career.

Meanwhile, in Chicago’s blizzard of 1979, Nancy met NJ (Norman James) Knights in a snowball fight in front of the brownstone where they both lived. Within 8 months, they were exchanging their wedding vows at the bottom of a grassy hill after a morning of water skiing. This led to a special relationship of 37 years, filled with international travel, concerts, quiet nights at home and wild nights on the town, laughing and loving, mostly

residing in St. Charles, IL. They were rewarded with and raised two daughters, Rebecca Laurie Knights McCracken (Michael) and Holly Laura Knights Katz (Matt), both living in Chicago.

With the birth of their children, Nancy began her second career raising two daughters and introducing them to fairies, making afterschool snacks in the shape of animals, sewing Halloween costumes from scratch, volunteering tirelessly in schools, cheering loyally at sporting events and dance recitals, and hosting their friends with open arms and genuine care. She balanced this with managing a household, 10 years of bookkeeping for NJ’s company, and volunteering her time with numerous organizations and Baker Church.

Nancy also became a published author of the children’s book Gracie’s Hill.

There will be a service commemorating Nancy’s life this Saturday, October 1st at 11:00am at Baker Memorial United Methodist Church (307 Cedar Ave Saint Charles, IL 60174) with a reception immediately following at The Office (201 E Main St, St Charles).

NEWS BRIEF

– Shaw Media

• SPENDING

Continued from page 7 “Not all of these things are going to happen at the same time, and if and when any of them happen, they most likely will be implemented incrementally,” Fuchs said. “What that does is that should buy us some time to figure out what the actual impact is going to be and how we will adjust in most cases our expenditures to address the additional burden on the district.”

Kerry said that he’d be “perfectly happy spending half of it.”

“I’d have no problem voting on it tonight,” Kerry said, while fellow board member Veronica Bruhl said she needed more information and was “not ready to do anything” until she sees more numbers.

Witt surmised that the board should continue to rely on input from committee and Fuchs, while also warning about the dangers of agreeing to spend the $3.2 million.

“Once you say that there’s money, there are going to people and programs that want it,” Witt said. “And we’re not just talking about staff at this point. ‘We want a new stadium,’ ‘We want more stadium seating.’

Those people are going to say ‘We want a chunk of that,’ and you can get into trouble by proclaiming to the public that we’re going to spend it.”

Vacant board seat

The deadline for applicants to fill the void left by former board member Cheryl Krauspe also was Sept. 26.

“We received a lot of questions and a lot of applicants, which was good,” superintendent Todd Leden said.

The board is required to select her replacement by Oct. 24.

Even state Rep. Sandack can make mistakes

SPRINGFIELD – Sometimes smart people do really stupid things.

And sometimes good people do things that they wish they hadn’t.

None of us are perfect.

I’ve learned that in the 30 years I’ve been in the news business. When people make mistakes, if a public trust isn’t violated, sometimes mercy rather than judgment is the best response.

That’s why my heart goes out to former state Rep. Ron Sandack. He’s a good man who got caught up in something awful.

The Downers Grove Republican apparently is the victim of an extortion ring based in the Philippines.

According to a Downers Grove police report, Sandack had a conversation on social media with a woman and later they communicated over a video conference. The woman threatened to make a video of the conversation public unless he wired her money.

He did. But she wanted more. And then more.

Faced with this blackmail, Sandack resigned from his seat in the Illinois legislature on July 26, citing “cybersecurity” issues. And this past week, police released a partially redacted report explaining what transpired.

I’ve known Sandack for several years. I’ve found him to be a bright, articulate and effective public servant.

His political career is now over.

But that isn’t keeping a chorus of reporters, lawmakers and other political insiders from shaking their heads and clucking their tongues.

In this era of “gotcha jour-

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Scott Reeder nalism,” it doesn’t matter that public trust was not violated.

Reporters saw a salacious story and went with it.

I spoke with Sandack briefly on the phone Sept. 19.

He told me it was a rough time for him and his family. After all, his wife and kids didn’t do anything to deserve this kind of derision, but they are hurting. For that matter, Sandack didn’t break any laws or fail to fulfill his obligations as a lawmaker.

He just showed poor personal judgment.

In a prepared statement Sandack said, “I was the target of an international crime ring targeting high-profile individuals, luring them to engage in inappropriate online conversations to extort them, and I fell for their bait hook, line and sinker. But nonetheless, I was a victim. Poor decisions on my part enabled me to be a victim.”

He’s owned up to his mistake.

But I found his final words in the statement haunting: “I’m human. I made a mistake for which I am remorseful and ashamed, especially because I have hurt my family … and there is no greater self-inflicted wound than that.”

Isn’t that the truth?

Home really is where the heart lies Last week, I participated in Geneva High School’s homecoming week, which was a wonderful celebration of my school and town.

In addition, I recently finished rereading a book called “Home of our Hearts,” which is centered around newlyweds struggling to find a place to call home. I also have become oddly intrigued by HGTV’s “Tiny House Hunters,” where people take downsizing to the next level in search of a simpler home life. All of these occurrences have brought this question to my attention: What, exactly, is a home?

Obviously, the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of home is a house itself – a physical building that often means so much more. I’ve lived in two houses in my lifetime but only one that I really remember. I have many fond memories associated with my place of residence, from playing with my sisters in the backyard to opening Christmas presents on the couch of our family room. It’s interesting how just one room can seemingly take me back in time and make me remember all that occurred within the walls of my house.

THE WRITE PLACE Emma Chrusciel However, when I think back on why all those memories are so impactful, I realize that it’s not necessarily the house itself that means so much to me. It’s the people I shared those moments with that are just as, if not more, meaningful. It wasn’t the backyard that made me laugh and smile – it was the time with my sisters that never failed to cheer me up. It wasn’t the living room that brought me joy and made me feel loved on one of the most special days of the year – it was the people sitting in that room with me.

Which brings me to what may very well be the answer to my question about what truly makes a home. Perhaps a home is not a place – perhaps it is a person instead. If it’s not a person, maybe it’s a passion, where you can express your true self and experience the greatest joy. For me, I would consider my home to be my family, friends and church.

When I am with or doing things with these entities, I

feel like I am the best version of myself. I am free to do what makes me happy, and I feel safe and comforted. In that case, maybe “home” is more of a feeling than anything else, and it’s definitely one of the best feelings in the world.

I think that Elizabeth Eulberg’s young adult novel, “Better Off Friends,” describes this feeling better than anything else. The last chapter ends with this: “But in truth, home isn’t necessarily where you sleep at night. It’s where you feel like yourself. Where you’re most comfortable. Where you don’t have to pretend, where you can just be you.”

Sounds pretty wonderful to me! This is why homecoming week, novels and even TV shows are all so focused on the idea of “home”– because home is truly where the heart is, and once I’m there, there is no place I’d rather be.

Strong regular season has Kaneland boys golf ready for postseason run / 18

Kaneland’s Jake Hed reacts after hitting a tee shot Sept. 26 during a dual meet against DeKalb at Hughes Creek Golf Course. The Knights won the dual to wrap up an unbeaten regular season.

Kaneland’s Will Marshall putts the ball on the 11th green Sept. 26 during a dual meet against DeKalb at Hughes Creek Golf Course. Marshall and the Knights tee off for the postseason starting Oct. 4 and are looking to make a return trip the state tournament.

Knights keep sights on No. 1 goal Kaneland golf starts postseason with state tournament dreams

By SKIP STOLLEY

editorial@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK – After a storybook 2015 regular season that saw Kaneland’s boys golf team go undefeated in dual match play, win two tournaments and set several program records, the 2016 postseason is nearly here for the Knights.

“We have high expectations for the postseason after the way we’ve played this fall,” senior Jake Hed said. “Going forward, we don’t need to try to do any-

thing special, just play our usual good games and we’ll be fine.”

If the recent results are any indication, the Knights are in position to make another deep postseason run.

The Knights topped DeKalb 159-167 Sept. 26 in the final dual of the season to cap off an undefeated dual meet campaign. Sophomore Will Marshall led the way with an even-par-36, and Brock Williams followed with a 39.

In the final regular-season tournament Sept. 24 at Sterling, Kaneland placed third in a strong 16-team field.

There, the Knights had 314 strokes, with senior Brett Glennon and sophomore Will Marshall tying for third place with even-par rounds of 72. For Glennon, it was his low 18-hole round of the season.

Hed and senior Jacob Milton were uncharacteristically off their games and shot an 83 and an 87, respectively, to

round out the scoring for Kaneland.

The Knights also picked up dual meet wins against West Aurora (149158 Sept. 20) and Sterling (161-164 Sept.

22) coming down the stretch, but Hed and his teammates have their attention squarely focused on the future.

“Winning conference and regional titles would be nice,” he said. “But from the beginning, our No. 1 goal has been qualifying for the state tournament as a team.”

The Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference East tourney tees off Sept. 28 at Senica’s Oak Ridge Country Club in LaSalle. The Knights have plenty of experience on that course, which has hosted the conference tourney every year since 2004, as well as on their home course at Hughes Creek, site of the regional tournament Oct. 4. Head coach Mark Meyer hopes that experience will translate to

success on the score cards at the conference and regional tournaments.

“It will begin with us playing with confidence and staying on the even keel we’ve been all season,” Meyer said. “For the NIB-12 conference championship, it will also be the using the experience our seniors have playing the Senica Oak Ridge course to our advantage. The conference tournament has been played here since 2004, so our five senior scorers have the experience of having played it for the past two or three years. Oak Ridge can be tricky, and that experience should help us.

“For the regional, hosting the tournament at Hughes Creek will be a huge advantage. Our players know their games at Hughes Creek and we just need to play them. Winning the regional would give us great momentum heading into the sectional tournament.”

MAPLE PARK – Kaneland’s football team had the ball and trailed by four points midway through the third quarter.

Then DeKalb laid the hammer down.

The Barbs came up with three consecutive defensive stops and scored three straight touchdowns to distance themselves in a 49-31 victory to spoil the Knights’ homecoming Sept. 23 at Peterson Field.

“You just hope you can limit their big plays and force them to put drives together,” Kaneland coach Tom Fedderly said. “Credit to them, they’re a really good offense – a really good team, their defense was good, too.”

It was somewhat of a breakout performance for DeKalb senior running back Delvin Williams. A transfer from Chicago Bogan, Williams carried most of the running load for the Barbs, rushing for 140 yards and three touchdowns on 26 attempts and helped rescue DeKalb after a somewhat lackluster first half.

“We felt like we didn’t play a very clean first half,” DeKalb coach Matt Weckler said. “Coming out, we knew we had to get a stop and get a score, and our kids responded. That’s what we said we needed to do at halftime, and that’s a good Kaneland team that we just beat.”

Weckler said there still would be competition in the backfield for the Barbs, but no other running back had more than two carries on the night.

DeKalb quarterback Derek Kyler had another strong game, going 14 for 22 with 217 yards and throwing two touchdown passes and rushing for 113 yards and two scores. He was terrific in the first quarter, going 9 for 9 with 131 yards and a touchdown.

DeKalb’s Zuerek Day was a threat up the middle for the Barbs, having five catches for 84 yards and two touchdowns, and senior receiver Cole Tucker had four catches for 64 yards.

Kaneland quarterback Jack Douglas was 21 for 33 with 265 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions and also ran for a 9-yard score. The Knights’ top receivers were juniors Josh Marczuk (five catches, 88 yards) and Alex Moses (five catches, 70 yards and a touchdown).

Defensively, the Barbs got interceptions from Jake Neidel and Matthew Searls, and Kaneland defensive back Luke Calabrese got a pick of his own late in the first half that later set up a Kaneland touchdown with seconds left on the clock. In the first quarter, a swing pass by Kyler fell to the ground and DeKalb didn’t pick it up. Kaneland’s Joshua Pollastrini scooped up what was ruled a fumble and returned it about 20 yards for a touchdown.

Kaneland loss sees Barbs take control in conference

The Barbs (4-1 overall, 2-0 in Northern Illinois Big 12) jumped out to a big lead early, taking a 28-7 advantage midway through the second quarter after a 1-yard touchdown run by Williams.

However, the Knights (3-2, 1-1) answered with 17 unanswered points – including a 34-yard field goal by Andreas Matarangas, a 30-yard touchdown pass from Douglas to Pollastrini with 19 seconds left in the second quarter and a 14-yard touchdown connection from Douglas to Moses in the first drive of the third quarter to cut it to 28-24 with 10:33 left.

“I thought we played really hard against a really good team, so I’m encouraged with the good things we did,” Fedderly said. “They really give you

some challenges, and we were down and came back before half and put a drive together to start the third, so I felt really good with how our kids were playing.”

Despite getting the ball back on a DeKalb three-and-out, the Knights got no closer.

On what was likely the play of the game, the Barbs faced a fourth-and-5 on the Kaneland 19-yard line. Coming out of a timeout, Kyler found Day up the middle for a 19-yard touchdown pass to put the Barbs ahead 35-24 with less than six minutes left in the third.

“At first, we were talking about kicking the field goal, but we just figured we got down there and we were confident enough to get a score,” Weckler said.

Week 6 matchup n WHO: Kaneland at Sycamore n WHAT: NIB 12 East football n WHEN: 7:15 p.m. Sept. 30 n WHERE: 427 Spartan Trail, Sycamore n RECORDS: Kaneland 3-2 (1-1 NIB 12

East); Sycamore 2-3 (0-1)

n OUTLOOK: In addition to earning

bragging rights in the rivalry, this game is a big one for both teams as it pertains to the playoffs. A win gets the Knights on the brink of five wins needed for a postseason spot before contests against Morris and Geneseo, which both currently are 4-1. Sycamore has Morris and 4-1 Rochelle still on the slate after this one.

The Barbs provided some distance on the scoreboard with two more scores – a 2-yard touchdown run by Williams and a 16-yard touchdown run just inside the left pylon by Kyler.

The run defense for DeKalb looked stellar at times. Although Kaneland sophomore running back Jonathan Alstott finished with 86 yards on 23 carries, the Barbs held him to 2 yards or fewer on 14 of those attempts.

“Our big guys in the middle did a great job, in terms of getting a little bit of a push early up front and our other guys made tackles,” Weckler said.

Kaneland volleyball rolling, ready for challenges Knights team to face tough matchups against Yorkville, LaSalle-Peru

The Herald / KCChronicle.com • Thursday, September 29, 2016

MAPLE PARK – Kaneland’s girls volleyball team is on quite a roll.

The Knights took an 11-game winning streak into their Sept. 27 Northern Illinois Big 12 East match at Yorkville.

They haven’t lost since Sept. 2, when they fell to Lake Forest, and have been particularly dominant during their winning streak. In all but two of their 11 straight wins, the Knights have swept both games and only required a decisive third game against Rock Falls and most recently against Morris on Sept. 20.

In the win against Morris, Katie Jablonski (14 kills, 10 digs), Jessie Weber (nine kills, 18 digs, two aces), Hannah Nauert (30 assists, seven digs), Alex Anderson (three kills), Chloe Filipski (five kills) and Jessica Nguyen (12 digs) all had strong performances to keep the streak alive.

The Knights then blitzed Aurora Christian in two games, 25-14, 25-19, on Sept. 22.

“They’re a pretty steady group and very consistent,” Knights coach Cyndi Violett said. “We don’t have one out-

standing hitter but a lot of good hitters.

They’re a well-rounded group who all seem to get along well.”

Without any real holes on the floor, opponents haven’t been able to attack any particular weaknesses on the Knights’ side of the net.

“They’re all contributing,” Violett said. “Not just one stands out with the hitting. One night it might be Katie and the next it might be Chloe. It’s hard for an opponent because there’s no downtime for their back row because we’ve got someone who can put the ball down.”

The Knights (19-3) are playing with a great deal of confidence and hunger.

They have already won two tournaments, including at Wheaton North, where they upset IHSA Class 4A runner-up Glenbard West to bring the title home to Maple Park.

“This is a team that doesn’t get rattled,” Violett said. “Even if they give up five points in a row, they just move on to the next ball and make a play.”

By this time next week, the Knights will have an even better idea of where they stand after matches against Yorkville and LaSalle-Peru.

“This will be one of our toughest weeks with Yorkville undefeated in conference and LaSalle-Peru undefeated on their side of conference,” Violett said. “Plus, we’ll begin playing teams for a second time around [in conference] and that makes you work on your offense a little bit differently.”

Kaneland’s Shelby Hannula sets the ball Sept. 22 in a home match against Aurora Christian. The Knights won in two games to extend their winning streak to 11 matches.

Fox Valley Hawks club looks for more hockey success

By STEPHEN GORDON

editorial@kcchronicle.com GENEVA – The Fox Valley Hawks hockey club has come a long way in just three short years.

Under the direction of third-year head coach Phil Gabrielsen and assistant coaches Mark Sokneiwicz and goalie coach Pete Garvey, the Hawks, comprised of players who attend Batavia, Geneva, Kaneland, St. Charles East and St. Charles North high schools, welcomed some 60 players to training camp in late August and eventually cut them down to a varsity team and two junior varsity teams.

“I think at the end of last season, the returning players we have knew what kind of work it was going to take in the

offseason in order to be successful this season,” Gabrielsen said. “I think a lot of the personalities on this team just come together really well.”

The Hawks last season advanced to the Illinois Suburban Hockey League finals only to lose in three games to the DuPage Stars, while in the 2016 Blackhawk Cup they advanced to the second round of the tournament before being ousted. This season, the Hawks will play around 35 games and will participate the PREP – or Prospect/ Rolling Meadows/Elk Grove/Palatine – Thanksgiving Tournament.

As the Hawks enter play this season, they will be led on offense by senior forwards Josh Gadow (St. Charles East), who enters his third season at the varsity level, Brock Williams

(Kaneland) and Morgan York (St. Charles East). They also expect solid production from junior forward Tyler Campise (St.Charles East) “I expect all three of those players to have really big years for us scoring-wise,” Gabrielsen said. “Prior to last year, Williams was playing travel hockey. So there was an adjustment period he had to go through. And he did just fine.”

The blue line will be well defended this year by the likes of senior Zach Rittenberg (Geneva), who enters his third and final season on the varsity team, as well as senior newcomer Brandon Luecker (St. Charles East), who spent the past several seasons playing travel hockey before deciding to play for the Hawks in this his final

year of high school.

The goalie duties this season will be handled by last year’s backup goalie, Will Lesswing (St. Charles North), who this year takes over the No. 1 spot. He will be backed up this year by senior Enzo Senese (Geneva). Senese comes to the varsity team after helping the Hawks’ JV to the ISHL championship.

“There is a good friendship between Senese and Lesswing, which will help out a lot this year,” Sokneiwicz said.

“I think this year the theme is ‘win now.’”

The Hawks will roll four lines this season as they carry 17 skaters and two goalies. Their ISHL regular season will begin when they face the Lemont/ Lockport Spartans at 6 p.m. Oct. 2 at Fox Valley Ice Arena.

Walk to School Day gets kids active

By VIOLET MARQUARDT editorial@kcchronicle.com

For many kids, going back to school can be difficult after spending the summer months riding bikes and running around outside.

Rather than maintain this active lifestyle, many students have to adapt to a much more sedentary routine as they sit in a classroom for several hours a day. In an effort to combat this inactive lifestyle, Kane County is encouraging residents to participate in the annual Walk to School Day. Walk To School Day is an annual event that will take place Oct. 5. Rather than take the school bus or drive to school, students are invited to instead walk to school, an easy way to incorporate a little bit of activity into the student’s routine.

Sue Ericson of Making Kane Fit for Kids talked more about the event with Kane County Chronicle correspondent Violet Marquardt. The following is an edited version of their conversation: Violet Marquardt: When did Walk to School begin?

Sue Ericson: International Walk to School Day is an annual global event involving communities from more than 40 countries walking or biking to school on the same day. Making Kane Fit for Kids has hosted and supported Walk to School Day in Kane County for seven years, beginning in 2010.

Marquardt: Who participates in Walk to School Day? Ericson: Kane County elementary and middle schools. Fit for Kids provides funding to PTOs or school officials to organize individual walks.

Each school takes ownership on how they promote or implement walks.

Marquardt: What is the purpose of Walk to School?

Ericson: Walk to School Day is a catalyst for encouraging physical activity for thousands of students in Kane County. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that children and adolescents get one hour or more of physical activity each day. Walking to school incorporates the regular physical activity children need while also igniting a culture of healthy habits, both at school and home.

Marquardt: How has it done in past years?

Ericson: Last year, more than 60 schools participated, representing about a third of the schools in the state that participated. Each year, Walk to School Day has grown in numbers.

Marquardt: What is Healthy Kane 2030?

Ericson: The Healthy Kane County 2030 vision is that Kane County residents would be the healthiest in Illinois. The county updated its Community Health Plan and identified chronic diseases that would be barriers. Childhood obesity stood out as a common contributor. Making Kane Fit for Kids was formed to reduce childhood obesity in Kane County through healthy eating and acting living initiatives, along with community wellness partnerships. A Fit for Kids Funder’s Consortium leads these efforts and includes the following members: Kane County Health Department, Fox Valley United Way, Rush-Copley Foundation, United Way of Elgin, Kane County Division of Transportation and the Community Foundation of the Fox River Valley.

Marquardt: What are your goals for this program?

Ericson: Making Kane Fit for Kids goal is to guide efforts on the local level through countywide mobilization to reduce childhood obesity. Fit for Kids’ strategies affect Kane children, families and communities. Working with schools bridges the gap between education and healthy behaviors, including adequate physical activity so kids will excel.

Marquardt: How can students who live farther from school participate?

Ericson: Several schools have set up walking start points where walkers or

riders can participate. Other schools that are not walkable have organized Walk to School Day around a school track for the kids as they arrive by bus.

Marquardt: How do you maintain safety during this event?

Ericson: Most parents participate and walk with their children on this special day. School officials monitor walks, and often city officials participate in walks in their areas.

Marquardt: How else will the county enact ways to make its residents fit?

Ericson: Making Kane Fit for Kids strategic principles include [providing] parents and children with reliable, up-to-date information in multiple settings regarding healthy physical activity and eating habits; [supporting] a culture of wellness and health promotions in our workplaces, schools and other institutions; [developing] land use, planning and other public policies that foster and support physical activity for all in our community; and [ensuring] that fresh fruits and vegetables are affordable and accessible to all families in our community.

Marquardt: How do schools get involved?

Ericson: Making Kane Fit for Kids sends out a participation registration invitation to all school districts and all school principals in Kane County. Making Kane Fit for Kids also does follow-up calls to encourage higher participation.

Jan Sharpless’ quilt, “We All Live Together,” was accepted into the Wall Quilts, Machine Quilted – Mixed or Other Type category in the 2016 Quilt Expo in Madison, Wis. Her entry form description read as follows: “This pattern just made me smile. I love animals and the beauties of nature. I hope to visit Africa one day, but until I do, I have these fun animals to keep me company. This piece combined my love of embroidery and quilting.” quilting world’s biggest stars.

This year, the event drew 20,000 people who viewed the more than 360 quilts accepted into the juried contest, shopped the 396 exhibitor booths and learned from the 200 lectures and workshops hosted throughout the weekend.

“It’s an honor just to be in the quilt exhibit,” Mayberry

said. “[We receive entries from] people from all over the U.S. – sometimes international. It’s definitely competitive.”

While Sharpless didn’t win a prize at the expo, that wasn’t her goal, she said.

“My goal was to make it into a big-time show like that,” she said. “It’s like a little bucket list item that has

been checked off for me now.”

And she received kudos from the judges, which was encouraging.

“I did get comments from the judges that my embroidery work is outstanding,” she said. “So I got some positive reinforcement for that part of my quilting work.”

Other members of the Prai-

rie Star Quilters Guild have had their work displayed at different major shows in years past, guild member Lynn Murphy said. But Sharpless is the most recent, and the group was very excited to see her work displayed at the expo.

Murphy, a friend of Sharpless for years, said the quilt was a good representation of Sharpless’ skill set.

“She’s really mastered the hand embroidery on this quilt in the show,” the 60-year-old Geneva resident said. “She has an excellent eye for color and putting together different textures in her quilts. …

I think that her personality comes out in the colors that she picks and the different textures she uses.”

Sharpless has been interested in hand work for years – she frequently worked on cross-stitch and embroidery projects because she could carry it with her while she traveled – but it was a recent accident that gave her extra time to practice.

She fractured her leg in April, which forced her to slow down but also allowed her to focus on her quilt.

“I credit that to my being able to finish my quilt,” she said. “I had to sit, and I just worked on the embroidery.

I had a great time doing it. I kind of wish I could break my leg more often.”

Sharpless’ quilt will be on display at the Prairie Star Quilters Guild’s 2016 Quilt Show, which will take place Oct. 14 and 15 at the DuPage County Fairgrounds. For information, visit psqg.org.

WAYNE – Before the modern conveniences of precut fabrics and rotary cutters, Jan Sharpless of Wayne was hand-piecing quilts.

The 65-year-old started quilting in 1976, although as a vice president in software development at Lucent Technologies (now Nokia), she didn’t have much time to devote to the hobby until she retired in 2006.

Since then, she’s spent a great deal of time honing her quilting and embroidery skills alongside fellow quilters in the local Prairie Star Quilters Guild.

“It’s half funny,” she said.

“I used the left side of my brain for 35 years developing software. And now I’m using the right side of my brain. … I just love the coloration in fabrics and how you can take a couple of different fabrics and, by cutting them and recombining them, you get a totally different look of colors.”

Sharpless recently had one of her quilts accepted into the 2016 Quilt Expo, a 10-category juried quilt contest hosted Sept. 7 to 9 in Madison, Wis. Her 38-by-44-inch wool quilt, which she dubbed “We All Live Together,” featured heavy embroidery detail amid dozens of colorful, applique African animals on a navy background. The design came from Sue Spargo, a wellknown folk artist and quilt designer who specializes in embroidery work and draws from her love of nature and her childhood in South Africa to come up with her patterns.

“So many people told me, ‘Oh my God, that’s fabulous!’”

Sharpless said of her quilt. “I thought, ‘Oh well, what the heck, maybe I should just see if I could join those who had been selected to have their quilt shown at the Wisconsin quilt show.’”

When she received her acceptance letter, she was absolutely thrilled, she said.

Quilt Expo, the premier quilting expo for the Midwest, started in 2005 with 9,000 attendees, said Jonna Mayberry, publicist for Wisconsin Public Television, which co-sponsors the expo with Nancy Zieman, one of the

Kiersten Frumkin plays Sophie and Ryan McBride is Sky in Paramount Theatre’s “Mamma Mia!” musical. Paramount Artistic Director Jim Corti directs.

For the uninitiated, “Mamma Mia!” – which features the music of ABBA – is the story of 20-yearold Sophie, who is planning her wedding. She finds her mom’s diary and reads about her lovefilled summer 20 years earlier with three different men. Sophie is convinced one of them is her father, and she’s determined to find out who by inviting each of them to her wedding.

Many of the cast members are making their Paramount debut, including Amy Montgomery, who turns in a stunning performance as Sophie’s mother, Donna Sheridan. Not only does she have the vocal chops for the role, she also displayed a rich emotional deftness in such numbers as “The Winner Takes It All.” Sara Sevigny, another newcomer to the Paramount stage, provides sublime comic relief in her role as Rosie. Her comedic talent is on full display in a scene-stealing rendition of “Take a Chance on Me.” Not to be forgotten is the show’s choreography and imaginative scenery, a trademark of any Paramount production. And by the end of the musical, the exuberance on stage spilled over to the audience, who joyfully sang along to the ABBA songs. The production is helmed by Paramount Artistic Director Jim Corti.

With the Paramount season getting off to an impressive start, I eagerly look forward to the rest of the season, which includes Disney’s “The Little Mermaid,” which runs from Nov. 23 to Jan. 8, 2017, “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,” from Feb. 8 to March 19, and “Jesus Christ Superstar,” from April 19 to May 28.

MAPLE PARK – The Kaneland High School band is busy preparing for its first performance of the year.

The Fall Band Concert will be at 7 p.m.

Oct. 19 in the Kaneland High School auditorium, 47W326 Keslinger Road, Maple Park.

This free concert will last 60 to 90 minutes and is appropriate for all ages.

“The program will consist of a variety of music to keep the audience engaged as well as keep the band students challenged enough so they can grow as musicians as they learn how to play the musical pieces,” Kaneland band director Aaron Puckett said.

The concert will bring together the concert band, made primarily of freshmen and sophomore students; the wind ensemble, primarily of juniors and seniors; and the percussion ensembles which consists of all ages.

“The students have been rehearsing in class every day,” Puckett said.

“And the entire band will get together just one time before the concert to rehearse all together.”

Exciting pieces will be featured such as “Parkour” by the wind ensemble. “Parkour” is a musical piece inspired by the stunning and unique movement of parkour, developed from military obstacle course training.

However, today it includes running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, rolling, and other movements and stunts using benches, buildings and various objects in the environment. This modern musical piece was written specifically for the wind band performance.

Another memorable feature Oct. 19 will be the concert band performance, including a selection of French folk songs from “Suite Provencale.”

Doors for the fall concert will open at 6:30 p.m. A holiday band concert is set for December, which will include high school choirs. A winter concert is scheduled for early March, and a spring concert will come closer to the end of the school year.

Sometimes you just gotta be there “Let him stay out there until I’m done,” I said as I stared out the kitchen window, orange juice dripping from my fingers. The Big Red Dog loves oranges. His tummy, not so much.

“You know you don’t have to give it to him,” Holly said dryly. Yeah, but that face.

“I know, but I don’t want to frustrate him,” I said. “And I want him to love me.” I grinned.

“So pathetic,” Holly said.

Guilty as charged. Parenting is hard. But at least my kids have it all figured out before they become parents.

“Just say, ‘Posey, in or out?’” Noah suggested later, when I jumped up again to open the door to the porch.

“I just have to set better limits, huh?”

“Yeah ... With a cat,” Noah said.

Pathetic again. Shame, shame. Man, I hope I get this stuff down soon.

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose “I have a supreme example,” he said, “of [Holly] not mowing the lawn.”

You may recall that a few months ago, I suggested Holly learn how. “No way,” she replied then, rolling her eyes.

“She just ripped the spine out of your back,” Noah continued. My Lord, but that’s violent.

“You literally have a broken back.”

Well, that’s sort of true, if you consider that I have a small stress fracture in my spine that I’m told may not heal, but I digress.

“You’re not teaching her that she has to do things she doesn’t want to do sometimes.”

Sure I do, but it was interesting to

hear my 18-year-old’s perspective.

“You figured, ‘Hey, it’ll be fun.’ I’ll be the hip older brother showing her how [to mow,]” he added. Guilty again.

Say, Noah, you mad about something?

“Just threaten to take something from her, and then do it,” he added. Yes, this was getting ugly. And to think, I used to teach parenting classes.

A few days later as Noah and I chatted and he prepared to leave for his morning classes, I was apparently moved to offer something profound.

“What I’ve learned over my lifetime is ... ” “Come on, Mom, what have you learned?”

“I don’t know,” I shrugged, as he grabbed his backpack, “I was hoping it would come to me.”

Ha. Impressive, I know. I may not have parenting all figured out, but the one thing I do know? You gotta be there. Who was it who said that you

gotta be there for 10,000 hours to be there for the 15 minutes that matter?

You know, when the flood gates open?

Or the tap turns on, or the words fall out, or the heart opens – or breaks.

You don’t have to say anything profound or even fix it, just be there. No need to be loud or flashy or fun or fab.

Just be there. Just. Be. There.

Holly gets it.

After we dropped everyone else off following her high school’s homecoming dance last weekend, she could barely speak. Seems she left nothing but her voice on the dance floor.

“Nobody else knew the words to ‘Don’t Want to Miss a Thing’ [Aerosmith,]” she whispered, “so I had to sing the whole thing.” Good call, baby.

Don’t get potassium from supplements

SUDOKU

Keeping that level in the correct range is important. This mineral also plays a key role in the function of nerves and muscles, including heart muscle.

Your kidneys help regulate potassium levels in your blood. They tend to keep your potassium level from going abnormally high or low. But age and medical conditions may impair kidney function. As a result, the kidneys are not as good at protecting you against abnormal potassium levels.

The FDA limits over-the-counter potassium supplements to less than 100 milligrams (mg). However, grocery stores carry salt substitutes that may contain much higher amounts of potassium. People trying to curb their sodium intake may use salt substitutes.

That’s a bad idea if you take a blood pressure medicine that tends to raise potassium levels.

Your best bet is to get your potassium from foods instead of pills. Many fruits and vegetables are rich in potassium. Spinach, sweet potatoes, cantaloupe, bananas and avocado are all good sources. Potassium-rich diets help control blood pressure and also lower your risk of stroke.

Another connection between potassium and high blood pressure is a rare condition of the adrenal glands that can cause both high blood pressure and very low blood potassium levels. So if you have high blood pressure, ask your doctor what your potassium level is.

If the doctor hasn’t checked your potassium, gently suggest that it might be a good idea.

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

PUZZLE SOLUTION

PUZZLE ANSWERS

Thursday, September 29, 2016 • KCChronicle.com / The Herald *

Should I take a potassium supplement?

Dear Reader: This is a great question, but before I answer, let me take a step back to explain the connection between potassium and blood pressure.

Tens of thousands of years ago, our ancestors survived on wild animals and a variety of plant foods. This diet delivered plenty of potassium but scant sodium.

Today, the average American diet contains about twice as much sodium as potassium, as a result of the high levels of salt in processed foods. This sodium-potassium imbalance is thought to be a major contributor to high blood pressure.

Now, back to your question. The short answer is no, you should not take potassium supplements unless your doctor prescribes them. People on blood pressure medications, in particular, need to be careful about potassium supplements.

Many blood pressure medications can lower your potassium level. Very low potassium can lead to dangerous heart rhythms. Many commonly prescribed diuretics lower potassium levels. If you are taking potassium-lowering diuretics, your doctor will check the level of potassium in your blood. If it is low, the doctor may prescribe potassium supplements.

But other types of diuretics, and other commonly prescribed blood pressure medicines, can raise potassium levels. Examples of such drugs are the diuretic called spironolactone, the drugs called ACE inhibitors, and drugs called angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs).

Common painkillers such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) can raise potassium levels. Abnormally high potassium levels also can cause dangerous heart rhythms.

If you are taking any medicines known to either raise or lower your potassium to dangerous levels, your doctor should periodically check your blood potassium level.

| KANE WEEKEND

38 Husband needs help moving beyond abuse Dear Abby: My DEAR ABBY husband recently disclosed to me Jeanne that he was sexuPhillips ally abused by his cousin, who was the same age, when he was in high school. She blackmailed him by threatening to tell everyone he had raped her. She used this power over him to coax sexual favors but never intercourse.

After a year of looking for help, he confided in his mother, but she ended up getting drunk and telling the whole family about the situation. Luckily, he was able to convince most of them it was “just the alcohol talking.” At that point, his cousin finally found a boyfriend and stopped blackmailing him. This all happened five years ago. He hasn’t lived in the same state as his mom or the abuser in three years. I can tell that by confiding in me he feels much better, but I’m worried that he blames himself for his mother’s alcoholism and his ruined relationships with his close friends in high school. – Concerned Spouse Dear Concerned Spouse: Encourage your husband to talk to a licensed psychotherapist about what was done to him. Victims sometimes blame themselves. I seriously doubt that his mother’s alcohol abuse had anything to do with him. That she betrayed his confidence instead of helping him was terrible. A therapist can explain all this to him, and help him to see things clearly so he can decide how to proceed.

Dear Abby: I’m planning on getting married this year, but I have cold feet. One day I want to be married; the next day I don’t. My fiancee is my best friend, and we have been dating for more than four years. Is there any way to get over wedding jitters and live life to the fullest? – Cold

Feet in Oklahoma Dear Cold Feet: An intelligent way to work

through your jitters would be to talk them through. Consider premarital counseling with your fiancee. A number of subjects will be raised during the sessions, including both of your feelings regarding handling money, having children (and raising them), and even the fact that such a big step gives you butterflies. Please let me know if this helps. I wish you and your fiancee a long and happy union.

Dear Abby: I’m a 15-year-old bisexual girl, and I have a big problem with relationships. They make me feel awkward. I don’t like holding hands and the mushy-gushy stuff hurts my soul. I’m asking for help to come out to my parents and also what I should do about not liking relationships. Am I the only one like this? I told my friend once, and she was really confused. – Awkward

Teen in Texas Dear Awkward: I do not think you should come

out to your family until you are sure of exactly who you are. From the tone of your letter, you appear to be still trying to figure that out -- which is completely normal for someone your age.

Please do not put any labels on yourself right now. Concentrate on school, friends, things you enjoy. Give it time, and I predict that in a year or two, when you are more clear about things, you will know what to do.

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

Your date should pick you up at your house ’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace

Dr. Wallace: I’m 17 and dating a guy who is 19. We met at a mutual friend’s party. We’ve gone out a half dozen times and each time I met him at his work because he works until 8 p.m. It does save a lot of time this way because he doesn’t have to drive to my house and then back uptown for a movie. My problem is that my parents do not like this plan. They say he should pick me up at my house and they also would like to meet him. I don’t mind meeting him at his work because I have my own car. What is your opinion of this situation? –

It just isn’t so, and you’re living proof of this!

Dr. Wallace: Do you think that high school athletic teams should have the best players on the squad, regardless of whether they are male or female? I’m writing a term paper on this subject and would like to include your opinion. Personally, I say yes to my question.

you up at your house and see that you are home safely before curfew.

Meeting him at work occasionally is appropriate only if time is of the upmost importance. It is also important that your parents meet your date the next time you go out with him.

Dr. Wallace: After reading the letter from the girl whose boyfriend is pressuring her into having sex, I decided to speak my mind. I am 19 and proud to say that I’m a virgin.

In this day and age of abortion and rampant sexually-transmitted diseases, a girl must think with her brain rather than allow her hormones to make critical decisions.

When I hear terrible stories about the predicaments of others, I’m relieved to know that I don’t have to worry about such things. I’ve had several close relationships with guys and they all respected me and never pressured me to be sexually active.

I’m writing this letter to all the girls who feel pressured into having sex. Never allow anyone to pressure you into doing something that you don’t want to do! And always remember that a careless moment can cause a lifetime of regret. – Nameless, Abingdon, Illinois Nameless: Thanks so much for your e-mail. So often teens get involved in sex because they believe everyone else is sexually active.

women’s sports and proud of the progress female athletes have made in my lifetime, but I’m afraid you’re not going to like my answer.

Females should not participate on male teams, and vice versa. However, by no means, does this mean that women are lesser athletes.

Pound for pound and inch for inch, female athletes are equal to males -- maybe even better. But one fact is inescapable. Men are generally taller and heavier than women. And in most sports, strength and size make the difference. They are extremely important to team success. That’s why I firmly believe the sexes should be separated in athletics. As good as the female college players are, not one would ever be good enough to compete in the National Basketball Association. The same is true for the National Football League or Major League Baseball.

I concede that, at the junior-high and even high school levels, a small percentage of girls are good enough to play on the boys’ teams. However, I still don’t think they should.

As harsh as that sounds, I say this for good reason. These highly talented girls are the best ambassadors, by far, for girls’ sports programs. If the best talent is siphoned off to boys’ teams, it would hinder the girls’ teams. As a former head basketball

Hannah, St. Paul, Minnesota Hannah: Your date should pick

JUMBLE

– Sarah, Chicago, Illinois Sarah: I’m a major fan of

coach at three high schools, I firmly believe all young people should have maximum opportunity to participate in athletics. Participation is far preferable to merely being a spectator.

This means that sports at all levels -- not just boys’ varsity sports -- should be generously funded and supported by local school districts.

Sadly, in years gone by, this was not the case. A mere generation ago, talented girls often had no sports outlets at all. We have inherited the legacy of this unfairness, but still have, I agree, some way to go before female athletes enjoy full equality with males. I just don’t think the way to rectify this situation is through coed athletic competition, especially in the contact sports.

And, of course, this is just my controversial opinion. Many people are bound to disagree. But this is why I love to write a column for teens. I have my opinion, but I also respect yours.

Dr. Wallace: You recently told a girl that one of the fastest ways to ruin a relationship was to engage in sex. Wrong! I’m 17 and last year by boyfriend and I were good friends, but once we started a loving sexual relationship, it made us as close as two people could ever be. It made us realize that we were in love, mentally, spiritually, as well as physically.

We are not going together right now because he decided to start dating an old girlfriend. Let’s just say we are not “divorced,” just “separated.” I’m positive he’ll come back to me. Still, our present separation doesn’t take away the fabulous love we shared. As they say, “It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” –

Nameless, Monmouth, Illinois Nameless: Did it ever occur to

you that if you had never had a sexual encounter with your ex-boyfriend, he still might be with you?

times a day. Because sponges get damp, they are hard to store neatly.

Rubin swears by the OXO Steel Suction Sink Basket ($7.99), which keeps your sponge at the ready. Through drain holes, it allows any drips to go directly into your sink and keeps air circulating through the sponge.

Strong suction cups allow you to stick it on the side or back of your sink. The aluminum is rustproof. “I like this because your sponge has a specific place to be stored and will drain itself dry. I think this method is much nicer than those sponge drawers in the front of a sink, which always look damp and dirty inside.”

on two sides so you can slip things in easily. There is always a stack of them on a bookshelf in her home office. She uses them for current projects and events: school-related trips, business meetings, vacation travel. She has a summer camp folder where she is keeping her daughter’s camp information handy, such as packing lists, directions and schedules. These files are easy to slip into a tote bag or carry-on luggage.

Jars of wonder: Are your drawers filled with dozens of little goodie-bag toys that you’re not sure what to do with but are too cute to toss? Imagine a big glass canister filled with fun stuff that’s fair game for anyone who comes to visit. A 1-gallon glass canister ($12.99) is a mainstay in the Rubin household. These large, sturdy jars with glass lids are used in many homes for things such as cookies, flour or laundry detergent. But Rubin has a row of seven on a shelf in her family room. They are full of treats: erasers shaped like tiny ice cream cones, mini yo-yos, pens, balls and tops. “Colorful things look great in the jar, and the whole thing becomes decorative,” she said. The jars can be pulled out on a rainy afternoon. Or, when other kids come over, you can invite them to dig in and pull out a handful of things to take home.

an Upper East Side apartment that could use more storage. We asked Rubin to join us at the Container Store (containerstore.com) at 725 Lexington Ave. and select five items that can help restore order. Rubin said: “I picked things that have worked for me. Buying these things and using them gives me a real sense of satisfaction.”

Small drawers for small things: Many rooms in the house have piles of little items that we need to keep at the ready. The Small Tint Stacking Drawers ($7.99 each) are stylish, stackable drawers (8 3/4 inches wide, 15 3/8 inches long and 5 3/4 inches high) available in seven colors, including clear. They can be placed around the edge of a room, in a closet or on a desk or shelf. At her home, there’s a stack of five in her daughter’s closet and three in the play closet, mostly holding art supplies, crayons, scissors and school project supplies. “They are also easy to label, so you can really make them an organizing tool,” she said.

Rubin said this type of drawer also would be perfect for kitchen gadgets, underwear, tools, phone chargers and, of course, those stray AA, C and D batteries.

Storage on wheels: The Rubins have a storage room in their building where they stash out-of-season items.

The Washington Post House numbers are an often neglected detail of a house.

They are the first impression people get of your home. They are crucial for first-time dinner guests, emergency vehicles or Uber drivers to be able to identify the right address. So go out to the street and look critically at your house and see how clearly you can read the numbers. Perhaps you could use something a little more stylish, a little larger, a bit more classic or a little more modern.

“Numbers are the only typography on your house,” said Glenn Milano, who started the House Number Lab in 2011 when he couldn’t find a proper sign for his Wardman-style townhouse on Capitol Hill. “You can put a mindless number up there to get the job done. But you are missing a great

• NUMBERS

Continued from page 44 opportunity to do something beautiful and interesting.”

Could your numbers use an upgrade? We polled a group of designers about their go-to styles.

Carmel Greer, District Design

Greer often turns to Etsy vendors for interesting house numbers, especially for cottages and bungalows.

Here are three:

• Camilla Cotton: She likes

Eleven Owls Studio

or along a wall (from $24 per number).

Anne Decker, Anne Decker Architects

Camilla Cotton

• Drop Metal:

These painted and distressed aluminum house numbers are colorful and a nice Drop Metal deviation from predictable modern styles, she said ($17 per number).

• Eleven Owls Studio: Greer likes these vintage-style numbers that are painted on wood pallets for use on an alley facade

For more contemporary homes, Decker is fond of Richard Neutra’s aluminum numbers because of “their clean, modern lines” ($27 per number, dwr.com). She said they age nicely, as they are tarnish-resistant. For more traditional homes, she usually turns to Baldwin’s more classic numbers, ordering them in oil-rubbed bronze or unlacquered brass that will age over time ($12-$13.80 per number, baldwinbrasshardware.com).

Anna Matthews, Anna Matthews Interiors

Matthews said she has always found

it challenging to find simple, classic address signs for her clients. For her own new home, she just ordered a plaque from Signature Streetscapes, whose website lets you customize a sign and has a good selection of choices without any kind of motif (from $29 per sign, signaturestreetscapes.com).

Simon Jacobsen, Jacobsen Architecture

“When it comes to addresses on historic houses or new houses in historic neighborhoods, I try to relate back to when Washington houses were issued addresses in and around 1870,” Jacobsen writes in an email. “I incorporate these house numbers in the transom or elsewhere in the traditional manner. [The House Number Lab]

is a historically accurate vinyl decal company that won’t break the bank to bring your house back into historical context where it should be” (from $15 per number, housenumberlab.com).

Jeff West, Jeff West Home Interiors

West loves Chatham Sign Shop numbers because they’re classic and weather-resistant. They also are easy to read from the street. The signs, available with optional designs such as shells or pineapples, are made of waterproof wood composite and painted with multiple coats of enamel. The numbers are 23-karat gold leaf. West has one hanging from his home’s lamp post. “It makes it very simple to find my house, and the pizza delivery guys love it,” he said (from $195 per sign, chathamsignshop.com).

BATAVIA – Multi-Family 809 Gosselin Circle

Oliver Cromwell, an English military and political leader in the 17th century, said, “He who stops being better stops being good.”

At the bridge table, if you spot what looks like a good line of declarer-play or defense, pause to see if there is something better.

How is that relevant in today’s deal? South is in four hearts. West leads the diamond two. How should East defend?

An important rule on defense is that a lowest-card lead in an unbid side suit shows either at least one honor in that suit or a singleton. Here, since East can see all of the diamond honors between the dummy and his hand, he knows his partner has started with a singleton.

So many a defender would win with the diamond ace and give partner a diamond ruff. But what would happen after that? Suppose West shifts to a spade. South wins on the board, draws trumps, and runs the diamonds to discard one of his clubs to make the contract. He takes three spades, four hearts and three diamonds.

East should wonder from where two more defensive tricks might come. If West has the spade king or heart king, that won’t help, because declarer’s finesse will be winning.

East should hope his partner has the club ace.

After taking trick one, East must shift to the club queen.

Presumably South will cover with his king, so West takes the trick and returns a club. Then East gives his partner a diamond ruff to defeat the contract. But if South strangely ducks the club queen, East gives his partner the ruff, and West cashes the club ace for down one.
