‘Settle for More’ and other books I got a book from my friend for Christmas – “Settle for More” by Megyn Kelly.

Many readers likely recognize the name Megyn Kelly, as Megyn has been the host of “The Kelly File” on the Fox News Channel.

Having just finished “11/22/63”

by Stephen King (a book about a man who travels back in time to try to stop the assassination of President John F. Kennedy), I decided to jump right into “Settle for More.”

The book starts off by going over Aug. 6, 2015 – the day of the first Republican primary debate of the 2016 election season.

I was surprised to learn that Megyn actually felt ill the day of that debate.

Her book shares some details up front about that day, but then it delves into

EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK Kathy Balcazar Megyn’s upbringing and career path before circling back to the debate.

Before becoming a journalist, Megyn was a lawyer. After years on the job, she decided she needed a change.

She was watching an episode of “Oprah” when a message about change really hit home.

“It was so simple, but so clear to me – this was the moment when I realized I could change my life,” she wrote. “I did not have to settle for less. I could settle for more.”

The day after I finished reading “Settle for More,” I heard that Megyn

Benjamin leaves for national post

crime, not housing people in jail or prison, and the toll of drugs and alcohol on society, Benjamin said.

With a whole team to support a client with staying sober, getting and keeping a job, and maintaining treatment, it gives a person with an addiction the best chance at sustaining recovery, Benjamin said.

Win-win for community

Judge Marmarie Kostelny presides over the Kane County Drug Rehabilitation Court. Kostelny said research shows specialty courts can transform lives impacted by addiction.

Finding her niche

Kane County’s drug court, established in 2000, is one of the oldest operating drug courts in the U.S. with many positive outcomes, Benjamin said.

When she became the public defender for drug court in 2006, it had been a six-month assignment, Benjamin said.

But she did not want to leave.

More about drug court Illinois lawmakers passed legislation establishing drug courts that went into effect in 2002, but Kane County established its drug court in 2000.

Kane County has graduated 750 people successfully from drug court.

To be included in drug court, a defendant must: n not have been involved in a crime of violence, n not deny his or her use of or addiction to drugs, and n demonstrate a willingness to participate in a treatment program.

Those not eligible for drug court are defendants who have been convicted of a crime of violence within the past 10 years, or previously completed or been “I went in and said, ‘I love this work,’” Benjamin said.

It worked out for both herself and the clients in drug court, she said.

“I think consistency is important,” Benjamin said. “[Drug court participants] need to know the same person who has known their struggles.”

Knowing what works

What Benjamin learned

discharged from drug court.

To complete the program successfully, participants must go 12 consecutive months without the use of prohibited substances.

Upon successful completion, the judge can dismiss the original charges and discharge the defendant from further proceedings.

The first drug court was established in Florida’s Miami-Dade County in 1989.

There are now more than 2,900 drug courts established in the U.S. and 13 other countries.

at drug court was that evidence-based practices can be very successful.

“When you start to know better and do it your own way, you get into trouble,” Benjamin said. “It’s important to follow the research and follow the ways that have been shown to work.”

Every dollar spent on a drug treatment court saves $27 in the long run due to less

fender Brenda Willett said the office will miss Benjamin.

“She did a great job for us,” Willett said. “We are so sorry to see her go.”

Assistant Public Defender Juanita Archuleta will replace Benjamin in the drug court, Willett said.

“We are lucky to have someone coming up through the ranks and filling her shoes,” Willett said.

Kane County Circuit Judge Marmarie Kostelny, who presides over the drug court, said Benjamin will be an asset to the national organization.

“She’s a terrific attorney who really understands the drug court model,” Kostelny said. “She has been teaching for years at … national conferences with 3,000 to 5,000 drug court professionals in attendance. … She is very good at what she does.”

Willett, like Kostelny and Benjamin, are believers in how the drug court impacts people with addiction.

“It is only through programs like that do we have a real rehabilitative effect, which both restores the defendant to useful citizenship and protects the community,” Willett said.

Kostelny said not only is drug court healing to the defendant, but also to the family as well.

“There is nothing quite like watching people transform their lives from [being] near death and literally homeless and separated from their families and loved ones,” Kostelny said. “To be able to reclaim their lives and be productive, law-abiding members of the community, there is nothing greater than watching that happen.”

On a national level, that is the goal of the National Association of Drug Court Professionals – to make drug treatment courts, DUI and veteran courts available to every individual in every state and county, Benjamin said.

“We get to see how many babies are not born addicted because their mothers went through programs, and sons are reunited with their mothers. And fathers who got visitation with their kids, we are seeing them back in their children’s lives,” Benjamin said.

“We are returning people back to their families, and that is an amazing and beautiful thing to see,” Benjamin said.

“It’s an amazing, wonderful thing to witness.”

For the past 10 years, Melynda Benjamin was the public defender serving in the Kane County Drug Rehabilitation Court.

“I represented a majority of clients – individuals who can’t afford an attorney,” Benjamin said. “ T h e [ K a n e Melynda County] Public Benjamin Defender’s Office would look at their case, and if an attorney felt he or she was a good candidate … the attorney would apply them for drug court.”

The rules require that the offenses not involve violence and that the individual was not charged as a drug dealer, she said.

“We discouraged a fox in the hen house – we don’t want drug court to be a forum for dealers to find more clients,” Benjamin said. “Drug court is for helping individuals who are ready to change their lives.

It’s not a ‘get-out-of-prison-free card.’ It’s a rehabilitation program.”

Benjamin also had supervised acting public defenders in Kane County’s other specialty courts – juvenile drug court, mental health and family courts.

Now she will begin a new career in Washington, D.C., with the National Association of Drug Court Professionals, providing technical assistance and training for drug courts in the U.S. and internationally.

When a court system is in the process of implementing a drug court, or an existing drug court wants to be assessed or needs help, that will be Benjamin’s new job.

“In the beginning, drug courts were the exception and not the rule,” Benjamin said.

“However, now that they have been shown to be so powerfully effective, drug courts are often mandated in many jurisdictions.”

ELBURN – Kane County announced Jan. 11 that it received a Public Works Project of the Year Award for the Anderson Road extension in the village of Elburn from the Fox Valley Branch of the American Public Works Association, according to a news release.

The award, for projects costing between $5 million and $25 million, was established to promote excellence in the management and administration of public works projects by recognizing the alliance between the managing agency, the consultant/architect/engineer and the contractor who, working together, complete public works projects, the release stated.

The Anderson Road extension provides a new roadway linking Route 38 to Keslinger Road in Elburn and consists of an overpass of the Union Pacific Railroad/Metra rail yard and about 1.6 miles of new roadway, the release stated. It noted that the project also delivers enhanced stormwater features, provides more than two miles of walking and biking trails/sidewalks, and greatly improves access to the Elburn Metra Station.

Paisano’s Pizza & Grill opens in Sugar Grove

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – There’s a handful of pizza joints in Sugar Grove, but dessert pie is a rare find.

Luckily, Paisano’s Pizza & Grill lovers will no longer need to travel to Elburn for a savory bite.

Paisano’s officially opened in Sugar Grove on Jan. 10.

This will be the second location for owners Dick and Annette Theobald, who opened their first location in Elburn in 2003.

“We’re excited to get up and going,” Annette Theobald said. “We want our customers and our staff to be happy, so we’ll do what we can to make sure that happens.”

Located at 98 Main St. in the former Sugar Grove Cleaners building, Paisano’s has a prime location, although they had to do quite a bit of remodeling.

Genoa Pizza, a longtime fixture in Sugar Grove, is just a

football pass away – across the street.

Paisano’s in Sugar Grove will not offer dining, but will have carryout as well as delivery options throughout the Sugar Grove community and parts of Aurora, Big Rock and Yorkville.

Specializing in homemade and made-to-order cuisine, Paisano’s is more than pizza, although that remains one of its biggest draws.

“We like to make everything fresh,” Annette said, “We make our own pizza dough and we like to use better-quality items. We make everything in house as much as we can.”

The sandwich menu is massive, featuring a variety of burgers, Italian sandwiches, chicken sandwiches and other specialties, including the oneeyed ham and cheese on pita, Reuben and pot roast sandwich.

No problem. Paisano’s has spaghetti, ravioli, lasagna, calzones and other pasta offerings.

Paisano’s also features red hots and brats from Ream’s Meat Market in Elburn. Word is that they’re even tastier if you order Paisano’s fries on the side.

With homemade soups and chili, a variety of salads and more than 12 appetizers to choose from, deciding what to eat might be a patron’s biggest dilemma.

In addition, Paisano’s has a variety of daily specials during lunchtime hours, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., during the week.

They also offer catering.

And then there are pies.

They have two different pies each month, along with a regular menu of desserts.

“We started doing the pies as an afterthought a few years after we opened in Elburn,” Annette said. “We just figured people would come in and pick up their pizza, see a pie and pick up one of those, too.

Now we have people coming in just to buy the pies, which can get crazy, especially during Thanksgiving and Christmas.”

Birthday girl I’ve been lucky enough to have been invited to more than a few 100th birthday parties. When I was invited to St. Charles resident Donnie Wind’s 101st birthday last week, I naturally asked why the newspaper wasn’t invited the previous year, to her 100th.

They had a good reason. The vivacious centenarian was still living in her own home in Iowa and, among all the other duties that go along with homeownership, cutting her own grass.

During her party at Autumn Leaves of St. Charles, Bell-Graham Elementary School third-grader Blake Settle, 8, came bearing flowers and a card for Wind with his mom and sister. He had visited the assisted living facility with his class during the Christmas season and remembered Mrs. Wind and wanted to wish her a happy birthday.

What an amazing lady, and she still is so full of life. I can only hope to have half of her energy at that age.

I am often asked why it’s so important to buy a hearing aid from Geneva Hearing Services.

There are several issues to consider, but these are the most important.

1) Geneva Hearing Services employs only licensed audiologists.

There are two professionals who are licensed in the state of Illinois to sell hearing aids — an audiologist and a hearing aid dispenser: • Audiologists are required to have a master’s or doctoral degree. They are clinically and academically trained in all aspects of hearing and balance disorders, including tinnitus.

FREE

• Hearing aid dispensers must have a minimum of an associate’s degree.

2) Geneva Hearing Services is not contracted or owned by any one manufacturer. This means we offer unbiased professional care and routinely update our training in order to provide our patients with the latest technologies available. This is not always the case at other offices. Stores like Beltone, Miracle Ear, and AccuQuest will typically recommend their own brand/manufacturer of hearing aid, thus limiting the options available to the patient.

Kaneland and Burlington Central to reach security deal with county

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com Concerns about having school resource officers stationed full time at Burlington Central and Kaneland High School should be put to rest if both of the latest contracts are approved by the end of the month.

Kane County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Patrick Gentler said the Kane County Board authorized an intergovernmental agreement Jan. 10 involving both the high schools, the county and the sheriff’s office for the provision of a full-time resource officer at each high school.

“We hadn’t been under contract for a number of years, so this was some-

thing that everyone wanted to get done,” Gengler said.

The presence of a school resource officer provides security and peace of mind for faculty, students and parents.

They provide a number of services, although their typical roles are safety expert, law enforcement, problem solving, educator and liaison.

Each school will be responsible for the entire cost of its assigned deputy, which not only includes wages, but also benefits. Before this deal, the two schools were paying half of the overall costs for the deputies. The new rate will be $52.50 an hour at Burlington Central and $50 an hour at Kaneland High School. The contract is retroactive to Aug. 30, 2016, and will end

June 30, 2018.

This issue was not discussed at the Kaneland Board of Education meeting Jan. 9, but board President Teresa Witt confirmed that board members would be voting on the contract during the Jan. 30 meeting as long as it’s already signed by the county.

District 301 Superintendent Todd Stirn said he would be reaching out to the county for a copy of the signed agreement so that his district could do the same.

Last summer, Kane County Sheriff Don Kramer announced that the resource officers would be removed from the two schools because of a staff shortage. He later offered a single deputy that would split time at the two schools.

Circuit judges voted to select Charles E. Petersen as an associate judge for the 16th Judicial Circuit.

Petersen earned his undergraduate degree in 1972 from Bradley University

in Peoria and a law degree in 1977 from John Marshall Law School in Chicago.

Petersen is currently affiliated with Porro, Niermann & Petersen LLC in Aurora.

WAUBONSEE VOICES Scott Peska Through my membership with the chamber, I have been able to make many connections with alumni of Waubonsee, who are excited to share their experiences – and some who want to learn about ways to give back to the college. For example, a recent connection I made through a chamber golf event led to that individual being invited to campus to speak at a student leadership event. I also have learned about volunteer or internship opportunities that I am able to share with students interested in those fields. Another example of the networking that takes place through chambers of commerce is my learning about a community agency board position opening for which they desired a representative from a twoyear college.

Being actively involved in a chamber of commerce has helped me connect and develop a network of leaders throughout the communi-

Through my membership with the chamber, I have been able to make many connections with alumni of Waubonsee, who are excited to share their experiences – and some who want to learn about ways to give back to the college. ty. Karen Parks, the Elburn branch manager for Old Second Bank, said “the beauty of being a member of the chamber of commerce is the amount of people you are able to meet and forge friendships with outside of the chamber group itself.”

Her colleague, Jackie Link, the Sugar Grove branch manager, said “it provides growth opportunities, camaraderie and access to resources.”

In addition to connecting with others, the chamber is a great way to stay informed about local issues facing business and community leaders. At each Elburn Chamber of Commerce

meeting, a business is highlighted, and many businesses have the opportunity to share needs they have or issues they are facing. Also, each year the city mayor or officials provide the chamber with an update on growth and progress on key initiatives.

Lastly, chambers of commerce are striving to enrich the lives of residents within their communities through collectively supporting community events and services. For example, the Elburn Chamber of Commerce supports an Elburn Christmas Stroll event, and also has hosted a “Folks on Spokes” community bicycle event.

This dedication and service among our business and community leaders is why I enjoy serving on the Elburn Chamber of Commerce, and why I believe more leaders of both small and large businesses should consider joining or becoming more active in their local chamber.

Scott Peska is the dean for students at Waubonsee Community College.

Waubonsee Community College is represented on 13 different chambers of commerce throughout Kane and Kendall counties. Having served with the Elburn Chamber of Commerce for the past four years as a representative for Waubonsee, I have learned the value these organizations offer our communities.

For those unfamiliar with chambers of commerce, they consist of business and community leaders who meet with the purpose of addressing issues facing local business and industry, promoting entrepreneurship and economic development, and collectively serving the local community. Chambers of commerce are each unique in the relation to their city governments and the role they serve in their respective community.

Chambers can be funded solely by membership dues or may be partially funded by local governments. Since many businesses – such as Waubonsee – serve multiple communities, it is common for them to be members of multiple chambers of commerce.

Membership in these business networks offers a means of staying connected, informed and active.

These huts, or lodges, indicate a robust muskrat population in the wetlands at Mill Creek Forest Preserve along Wenmoth Road in Batavia.

The Herald / KCChronicle.com • Thursday, January 19, 2017

Counting ‘huts’ – structures made by muskrats Hut two, three, four … hut, two, three, four ...

That was the phrase that kept running through my mind the other day as I walked with my friend Lorayne and her friend Gayle.

Now, don’t get me wrong.

We hadn’t been recruited by a military group, nor were we even marching (which, admittedly, would be a rare activity among us nature types).

We were, however, counting “huts” – as in structures made by muskrats.

Also known as lodges, these piles of plant parts and mud are quite obvious in our local wetlands at this time of year. Lorayne and Gayle had noticed them on their walks around their Geneva Township neighborhood, and the other day the three of us went out to have a look.

Unlike our other aquatic rodent, the beaver, which is not only larger, but also stronger and builds its lodges from sticks and logs, the muskrat creates its huts from nonwoody vegetation

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto

Note to readers This column originally was published Dec. 5, 2015. such as cattails, reeds and rushes. These animals, which measure about 2 feet long, including a 10-inch tail, gather these materials in mounds that range in size from small – maybe 2 feet high – to large – 4 feet or more in height and 8 feet in diameter.

Once the mound is made, the muskrats will hollow out an interior chamber that can be entered only from the underside, which is underwater and a great first line of defense from local predators.

A small hut may hold only one muskrat, a larger one a few more. Regardless of number, any and all occu-

pants are insulated from the elements by the structure’s walls that can be more than 1 foot thick.

As another measure against winter’s harsh conditions, muskrats maintain holes in the ice that provide a small space to breathe and feed. Because the little guys push up debris and leftover plant parts through this hole, these piles (which tend to be smaller than lodges) often are referred to as push-ups.

Besides these assorted marshland structures, muskrats in our area might also, or instead, opt to dig underground hideaways. Like the lodges, muskrat burrows also have underwater entrances but typically are dug when the water is flowing and/ or its banks are steep. But unlike the huts, burrows can be hard to locate; you need to look for other signs such as tracks and scat to know if muskrats are active in stream environments.

I’m not aware of any formal studies that have been con-

ducted in our area, but it sure seems like our local muskrats are enjoying a high point in productivity. And reproductivity, for that matter. While it’s easy to commend, or blame, the animals for their success – they are rodents, after all – it’s really us humans that have (literally) paved the way for them.

Over the past hundred years or so, the majority of our natural wetlands have been drained, filled and otherwise modified in the name of progress. Many of these developments feature stormwater retention ponds with aquatic plants – a mainstay in muskrat diets. And while muskrats still have lots of predators – primarily mink and coyotes – hunting and trapping pressure in our area is virtually nil.

These favorable conditions have contributed to the abundance of muskrats we see today. They also made for interesting banter as Gayle, Lorayne and I marched – I mean meandered – our way

around the wetland.

We commented on the size of one hut in particular, which was almost as large as a beaver lodge. We noted the channel the critters had worn in the wetland grasses.

We were curious as to just how many muskrats might inhabit that particular wetland complex, which receives a lot of its water from the developments along Randall Road. And we also wondered how many people really notice the muskrats, and the signs of their activity.

That last part, we realized, was just a matter of getting people interested in the nature around them. The signs are all around, and all we really need to do is pay attention.

Make that atten … hut!

Deductions, tax credits can make homeownership a dream SPONSORED BY

Life can be a dream at tax time if you’re a homeowner.

That’s because a series of deductions and even a homebuyer tax credit could be at your disposal, according to real estate experts.

One deduction itemizing homeowners can take advantage of is the mortgage interest deduction. That means the interest you pay on a mortgage of up to $1 million — or $500,000 if you’re married filing separately — is deductible when you use the loan to buy, build, or improve your home.

Other possible tax deductions include the prepaid interest deduction, property tax deduction, and the vacation home tax deduction.

Have you installed energy-efficient windows or made similar energy-saving home improvements recently? You might qualify for the Nonbusiness Energy Tax Credit, which carries a lifetime cap of $500. An added bonus: homeowners will likely save on utility bills thanks to those energy-efficient upgrades.

Did you have to take on the extra cost of private mortgage insurance when your purchased your home? If so, don’t despair.

Experts in the field said the premium on that insurance can be deducted, depending on income.

Do you plan on making some substantial home improvements? If you take out a loan to do so, you may be able to deduct the interest on it, experts said. One note: the work must be considered a capital improvement, such as adding a new roof, fence or porch, insulating, or installing heating/cooling systems, rather than ordinary repairs.

It is no secret that some people wear eyeglasses to make themselves look smarter and/or more serious. As the reasoning goes, glasses lend a more studious appearance to those who wear them. With this in mind, directors sometimes tell actors to don eyeglasses in order to make them look more credible in roles that require that they look more learned and thoughtful.As it turns out, this notion that equates eyeglasses with intelligence may have some real validity. When German researchers recently gave nearly 3,500 people both vision and intelligence tests, they found that those wearing glasses had better cognitive ability than others with perfect 20/20 vision. Nearsightedness has been linked with reading and other near work.

Glasses say so much about your personality and personal style.

Tips for preventing becoming infected with norovirus include: n Washing hands carefully with soap and water, especially after using the toilet or changing diapers, and always before eating, preparing or handling food. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers can help reduce the number of germs, but they’re not a substitute for washing with soap and water. n Thoroughly washing fruits and vegetables and cook seafood. n If sick, don’t prepare food or care for others who are sick for at least two days after symptoms stop. n Clean and disinfect potentially contaminated surfaces. n Immediately remove and wash clothes or linens that may be contaminated with vomit or stool.

ST. CHARLES – Norovirus has been confirmed as the cause of the stomach virus that caused St. Charles East High School to cancel classes two days last week, public health officials announced Jan. 17 in a news release.

The Illinois Department of Public Health’s laboratory analysis confirmed norovirus from three samples for testing that were sent to its virology laboratory in Chicago, the release stated.

In all three specimens, norovirus subtype G2 RNA was detected, the release stated.

Symptoms of norovirus include diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and stomach pain, as well as fever, headache and body aches, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Norovirus is typically spread through vomit and stool, the release stated.

People become sick by eating food or drinking liquids that are contaminated with norovirus; by touching surfaces or objects contaminated with the virus and then putting their fingers to their mouth; or by caring for or sharing food or eating utensils with a sick person, the release stated.

LETTERS For ACA reform, first, do no harm

To the editor: While Congress prepares to “repeal and replace” the Affordable Care Act, it’s important to remember what’s really at stake – the health and well-being of people – including more than 1 million Illinoisans who depend on coverage under the ACA. We can’t afford to take action that disrupts health care coverage and the Illinois economy. Any repeal of ACA coverage should not take effect until the replacement plan takes effect.

If Congress does not make repeal of coverage contingent on adoption of a replacement plan, then Congress also should repeal the hospital payment cuts that help pay for ACA coverage. Illinois hospitals have experienced more than $1 billion in ACA payment cuts.

Otherwise, people won’t be able to get the care they need, local economies will suffer and jobs will be lost. Facing revenue losses, hospitals will be forced to cut spending by reducing services and staff, delaying new technology and facilities or shifting costs to privately insured patients.

If Congress repeals coverage and does not replace it, the preliminary estimate is the loss of this revenue in Illinois will result in a potential loss of $11.6 billion to $13.1 billion in annual economic activity, which translates to a potential loss of 84,000 to 95,000 jobs.

On behalf of our 200 hospitals and 50 health systems, and the patients and communities they serve, IHA looks forward to working in a bipartisan manner with our state and federal officials to improve our health system. Remember the first lesson of medicine – first, do no harm.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Change the channel, change your world These days, it seems that American teenagers spend a lot of time glued to a TV or computer to watch their favorite shows. Frankly, I’m not surprised – with the recent boom of streaming providers such as Netflix, in addition to traditional TV and DVR, opportunities for people to relax and lose themselves in a new program are seemingly endless.

For students my age, dramas and thrillers seem to be the TV genre of choice. “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Supernatural” and “Stranger Things” are just a few of the shows that I hear discussions about on a daily basis. While I’ve never seen these shows, they are clearly compelling entertainment options for many of my fellow classmates.

I’m not much for violence, horror or steamy romance, so my options for quality TV are often limited. I prefer lighthearted family comedies – instead of language and gore, I’ll take laughter and good messages. There aren’t very many shows that fit these criteria – so for this reason, I usually find myself watching shows most people my age aren’t as familiar with.

I’m unashamed of my love for the Disney Channel, with shows such as “Girl Meets World,” “The Lodge” and “Backstage” taking up a considerable

THE WRITE PLACE Emma Chrusciel portion of my TV-watching time.

Despite occasional subpar acting and some contrived plotlines, the characters and stories are frequently thought-provoking without being overly mature. A&E’s “Duck Dynasty” is downright hilarious without any inappropriate humor often present in other shows. The same is true for TLC’s “OutDaughtered,” which features cute babies and just enough family drama to keep things interesting.

Unfortunately, I think a lot of shows available right now are not promoting the behavior and attitudes we’d like to see in our world. Some nights I’ll turn on the TV and have to look away because of the horrific violence depicted onscreen. Other times, the amount of swearing is almost impossible to listen to. I’m not saying the shows that most of us know and love are inherently bad – I’m just saying that too often they portray a world that I certainly would not want to live in.

That’s why, instead, I tune in to “Girl Meets World,” which shows

the power of friendship and family to get through all the challenges that come with growing up. That’s why I rewatch countless episodes of “Duck Dynasty,” which teaches that life is a whole lot better with faith, family – and food! That’s why I enjoy watching “OutDaughtered,” which features a family that keeps on loving despite its problems. Sure, these shows aren’t exactly what your average teenager is binge watching on a Friday night, but I still think they have a lot to offer for everyone.

It’s disheartening to see negative ideas spread on so many TV shows, especially when the younger audiences have the potential to take what they learn and use it for either good or bad. But as “Girl Meets World” taught me, the world is what I make of it – and no matter what I see on TV, I know I can do my part to spread the positivity and joy our world so desperately needs.

Mary Beth Nolan - For Shaw Media

Kaneland center Grace Ringel scores from the baseline Jan. 6 during a game against Sterling. Ringel and twin sister Addie have provided a big boost for Kaneland.

SISTER ACT Grace and Addie Ringel use sibling rivalry to help Knights

By CHRIS ROLLIN WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK – Jenni and Morgan Weber don’t look alike or have the same strengths.

Jenni is an offensive weapon while Morgan is known more for her defense for Kaneland’s girls basketball team.

Some have assumed they were sisters or cousins, but they only share the same last name and leadership roles for the 17-3 Knights.

Now, Addie and Grace Ringel are a different story. It’s pretty easy to see

that the two juniors are twin sisters.

The 6-foot-2 Grace is three quarters of an inch taller than Addie and much more shy than her outgoing sister, but her productivity has been anything but bashful. Grace is technically Addie’s baby sister by about a minute. The two are as competitive on the hardwood as they are on family game night.

“We definitely are competitive,” Grace said. “We’re always trying to beat each other.”

Through 17 games, Grace was averaging 9.5 points, third best on the team, while leading the Knights with 6.5 rebounds per contest. She converted 72 percent (54 of 72) of her free throws. Addie was averaging 3.1 points, sixth best on the team, and collected 2.5 rebounds.

“I think I’m stronger inside and Addie’s better at hitting the outside shots, but we’re both strong rebounders,”

Grace said. “And I feel like Addie’s quicker when it comes to defense.”

“We definitely have similar skills,” Addie said. “Grace is definitely stronger inside. I’m not saying I can’t do the inside stuff, but not as well as she can.”

The sisters got a little taste of varsity basketball a season ago as late-season call-ups for a Kaneland squad that went 23-5. Their adjustment has been pretty seamless.

“The pace of the game is different and everyone is bigger and stronger, especially in the post, but we’ve gotten used to it,” Grace said. “You want to get the rebound, outlet and go. There’s no waiting behind.”

They haven’t waited.

“If we’re going to have a strong finish, they’re going to have to be successful at the end here, and they’re capable of that,” Knights coach Ernie Colombe

said. “They’ve come a long way after being on the sophomore team last year, and they got a chance to have a bigger role after seeing them in the summer.

As a staff we saw they had potential and now they’re starting to see that in themselves.”

Riding horses – their hobby outside of basketball – has helped them develop into great rebounders.

“It’s transferred to the basketball court and increased our leg strength,” Addie said. “I think that has helped us a lot.”

It’s also helped them have a blast this winter as the Knights pursue another 20-plus win season.

“The basketball team is one big happy family,” Addie said. “It makes the season 10 times much more fun.”

A happy family that includes these sisters.

The loss against Genoa-Kingston came on the heels of a hard-fought 50-49 loss against Burlington Central in the first game of BC’s tournament. Feiza had a game-high 17 points against BC while Rhett Espe added 10 points.

Later on in tourney play, Kaneland fell against Hampshire (81-60 on Jan. 14) and Wheaton Academy (59-47 on Jan. 16) as its record slipped to 4-14.

Franck scored 24 against Hampshire and Feiza had nine before departing with a thumb injury. Franck also led the way against Wheaton Academy with 14 points, and Feiza sat out the game.

The Knights are back in action at 7 p.m. Jan. 20 against visiting DeKalb.

Chicago Mustangs remain in contention in MASL KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com CHICAGO – For helping the Chicago Mustangs knock off first-place Cedar Rapids, Miguel Vaca was named the Major Arena Soccer League Player of the Week.

Vaca scored four goals, including the game-winner against the Rampage, as the Mustangs topped Cedar Rapids for the third time this season. All three of the Rampage’s losses have come against Chicago.

The four goals Vaca scored against Cedar Rapids brought his season total to seven, and it was the first time a Chicago player earned MASL Player of the Week honors.

Chicago overcame a 3-0 hole to top Cedar Rapids 7-5 at the U.S. Cellular Center in Iowa.

Vaca recorded a hat trick and defender Luis “Peewee” Ortega scored twice to break a 5-5 tie and lift Chicago to the win.

The teams were knotted at 4-4 entering the fourth quarter. Vaca gave the Mustangs their first lead of the game

wing for what held up as the winning goal with 7:52 remaining. Vaca then fed Ortega for his second goal, a tap-in on a 2-on-1 against keeper Brett Petricek that put the game away.

Cedar Rapids took a 3-0 lead into the second frame on a pair of goals from forward Tony Walls and one from Curiel. Walls scored from both wings for his sixth and seventh goals this year.

Curiel scored on a power play.

In the second quarter, the Mustangs responded with a couple of deep shots to pull to within one goal. With 7:41 remaining in the quarter, Vaca finished off a rebound after the ball caromed off the back wall on Ortega’s set piece.

A minute and a half later, defender Ephraim Beard collected the ball off his chest and finished a volley from the third line for his third goal of the Photo provided by Daniel Bartel season.

The Chicago Mustangs huddle before taking on the Milwaukee Wave in a recent game. St. Forward Taylor Bond, a St. Charles Charles native Taylor Bond and the Mustangs are in contention for the Major Arena Soccer native, added his team-leading 17th goal of the season in the win.

BURLINGTON – There was a lot to like about the third quarter that Kaneland’s boys basketball team had against Genoa-Kingston.

Slow starts in the second half have been a bugaboo for the Knights most of the season, but they overcame a 25-19 halftime deficit against the Cogs to take a 33-32 lead in the third.

“It was like we were playing with a 10-point lead instead of a 10-point deficit,” Kaneland head coach Joe Conroy said. “We came out with a little fire in the third quarter, which is a big thing we’ll take away because we normally start really slow in the third quarter.

But today we did not. We started out a lot faster.”

Unfortunately for the Knights, that strong third quarter didn’t lead to a better end result. The Cogs went on a 7-0 run to grab the lead for good in a game they won 58-52 on Jan. 14 at Burlington Central’s Martin Luther King Jr. holiday tournament.

Dan Franck finished with 16 points for the Knights. Jake Hed scored eight, and Blake Feiza grabbed a team-high six Karen Naess - For Shaw Media boards for Kaneland.

“I thought we played well. I thought Kaneland’s Blake Feiza (right) plays defense Jan. 13 as Burlington Central’s Michael Kalusa drives to the basket during play at BC’s Martin Luther King Tournament. The Knights we played hard,” Conroy said. “But we just couldn’t make shots when we had fell 50-49 against the Rockets and went 0-4 at the tourney.

“I thought we played well. ... But we just couldn’t make shots when we had to or get stops when we needed.”

FOOD

DEEP-FRIED AND DELICIOUS

French, Spanish treats offer different take on traditional doughnuts

By PRUDENCE HILBURN More Content Now If it tastes anything like a doughnut, it certainly will find favor with my palate. My favorites are the classic yeastbased doughnuts, but I also enjoy the cake type from time to time.

When the kids want doughnuts in a hurry, my granddaughter, Meagan, told me she uses jumbo canned biscuits. After cutting a hole in the center of each one, she heats about 2 inches of oil and quickly fries the “doughnuts” and the “holes” until browned. Coated with a confectioners’ sugar glaze, these simple treats don’t last long.

I will never forget the first time my husband and I visited New Orleans. We had heard about the great French beignets and could hardly wait to try them. We were certainly not disappointed and we made more than one trip to the open air coffee shop, Cafe du Monde (Cafe of the World), located in the French Quarter.

I opted to enjoy my beignets with a glass of cold milk, while my husband wanted his with their special coffee.

Either way, these French “doughnuts” are special.

Sopaipillas are the Spanish version of the doughnut.

These hollow little “pillows” of bread are delicious served with honey. Yeast is optional in the following recipe.

Where you sit in class is important Teens: Are you satisfied with your grades, or are you disappointed that they are not higher?

Almost all students enjoy earning excellent grades and are eager to learn how to get this accomplished. If you are among these students, read on: The competition for grades is intense, and where you sit in class can make a major difference in your grade point average. If you don’t like sitting in the front row because you are afraid the teacher might call on you more, you are making a huge mistake. Students who sit in the first row have a definite advantage, according to Dr. Paul Adams, a dean at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

“It’s clear that students tend to do much better in class when they sit close to the front (the closer, the better) because they become more engaged in the class,” Adams says.

“Of course, it’s not the sole determinant, but it’s in the mix. It’s a strategy we suggest because it works.”

Students in the front of the class are often more in tune with the teacher, which translates into taking more notes, participating more in class discussions and maintaining better study habits.

All this usually translates into a higher grade.

The middle of the classroom is one of the worst places to sit. In a classroom setting, a speaker’s eyes tend to go to the front of the room and the back. They don’t look at the center of a room as often or with the same amount of attention.

Students who are shy, and retiring, timid or have problems paying attention should avoid that area.

“It’s a bit like the chicken and the egg,” says Dr. Fred Ribich, professor of psychology at Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa. “Is it the chair or is it the student?”

Mom gives blessing to kids attending church Dear Abby: I am DEAR ABBY an atheist. My parents, although Jeanne raised PresbytePhillips rian, never to my knowledge participated in organized religion, so it was not part of my upbringing.

Last year, my mom started going to church again, and my kids have been going with her.

I’ve always said they can make their own choices and I’d support them.

Mom is about to go south for the rest of the winter and there’s no obvious church member the kids can go with, but they’d like to keep attending. Would it be wrong for me to go with them on Sundays, even though I don’t believe in the church doctrine and won’t be otherwise involved in the organization?

I’m sure I could be unobtrusive, but I’m not sure what to say if someone asks why I’m there -- especially since I’ll stop going once my mother returns to town. The kids are tweens and not old enough to go alone. What do you think? –

What’s Appropriate?

Dear What’s: When people see one another

in a house of worship, they usually assume that they are equally religious and that’s why they’re there. However, if you are asked why you’re there, all you have to say is that your children enjoy being there and your mother is away, so you brought them. I don’t think it’s necessary to announce to anyone that you’re an atheist.

Dear Abby: My husband is constantly complaining about the cost of groceries. He recently graduated from college and now works in the corporate world making substantially more than he did before. I’m 16 weeks pregnant, but before I quit my job I was working full time and would buy all the groceries. Now that my husband shares an account with me, he constantly makes me feel bad for buying food.

Abby, I’m not talking about $300 a week; it’s more like $70 a week for food. Yet he spends twice that amount on beer, video games and lunches for himself.

I have told him numerous times how horrible he makes me feel, and have even cried about it, but today he brought up the topic again. He is making me depressed and afraid of buying food for fear of being mocked and “guilted.” What am I to do? – The Cost of

Groceries Dear Cost: Your husband should be ashamed

of himself. The next time he complains, stand your ground and tell him in no uncertain terms it’s time to grow up and cut it out. He’s no longer a kid; he’s a married man with responsibilities. Those groceries are feeding his wife and child, and you both need all the nourishment you can get right now.

Also, stress for a woman in your expectant condition isn’t good for you or the baby. I think it’s time the guilt trip worked both ways, don’t you?

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

ASK THE DOCTORS / ELIZABETH KO AND EVE GLAZIER complete list of all medications, including any over-the-counter medications as well as herbal and dietary supplements. Write down the dose of each drug and how often and at what time he takes it.

• If your father has a primary care physician, ask her or him to check the list. It can be run through a drug interactions database to identify potential problems. If a primary care physician is not part of your father’s health care, you can get the same help from his pharmacist. To keep things simple, it’s a good idea to have just a single pharmacy dispense all of your father’s medications.

• If any problems come to light, contact each of the prescribing physicians and explain the issue. By coordinating with all of the doctors, you can arrive at a list of drugs that are both necessary and safe for your father to take.

• Going forward, your father should bring this new list of medications with him to every medical appointment. He should share it with each doctor he sees so future drug interactions can be avoided.

• When a new drug is prescribed, your father should ask what the drug is for, what is the proper dosage, how long it should be taken for, how he will know it is working and whether there are any side effects or risks associated with the drug.

• Always add any new drug, along with its dosage, to the medications list.

• Periodically check with the prescribing physicians regarding the drugs they have recommended. Perhaps a dosage has changed, a drug can be eliminated, or it should be changed.

Dear Doctor: Our elderly father is now seeing several specialists, all of whom have prescribed medications. My brothers and I are worried about how many pills Dad has been told to take, and the fact that these doctors don’t seem to be consulting with one another. How do we make sure the drugs are safe and appropriate?

Dear Reader: You’ve hit on a problem that is both serious and widespread, particularly among the elderly. It’s called polypharmacy, and it describes the simultaneous use of multiple drugs to treat one or more ailments or conditions. The risks of polypharmacy range from drug interactions that may make a person feel unwell, to those that are dangerous and may cause physical harm or even death.

It’s estimated that more than 40 percent of men and close to 60 percent of women oldert than the age of 65 now take five or more medications a week. This includes prescription medications from physicians; over-the-counter medications such as aspirin or antacids; vitamins, homeopathic or herbal remedies; and nutritional supplements. Any of these, in the wrong combination, can cause problems.

When it comes to medications, these are often prescribed by several different specialists who may not be familiar with a patient’s medical history. When taken in combination, some of these drugs may cause problems such as dizziness, bleeding, confusion, low blood pressure or respiratory distress. In some cases, adverse drug interactions can send patients to the hospital.

So how do you make sure this doesn’t happen to your dad? If you and your brothers are helping him keep track of things, these are tasks for you. If your father is handling his own health care, these are steps he should take: • Start by getting organized. Make a

Q&A

By JURA KONCIUS The Washington Post

Our guest room overlooks a beautiful forested area. We don’t want to cover the windows. I’m pretty sure guests who are not early risers won’t appreciate that, even though the morning sun doesn’t directly hit that side of the house. Any suggestions?

Koncius: Guests won’t appreciate the rays of dawn hitting their faces when they really want to sleep until 9 a.m. Although it wouldn’t be cheap, would you consider installing blinds that fold up into a very small size at the top of the window? Honeycomb blinds are a good choice. That way, you would not need to use them unless a guest is there. Otherwise, you could put up a slim curtain rod and

We have a small TV in our master bedroom. Should I transfer it into the guest room when we have visitors, at least for the people who I know have TVs in their own guest rooms? My husband balks at the transfer because he falls asleep to TV. But I’m assuming many guests do, too.

Koncius: Definitely not. I would

say that your guests are there to relax, and they can read a book before bed. Leave them some nice current magazines on the bedside table.

Is it OK to ask your guests to remove the sheets from the bed and then put the comforter/quilt back on?

Koncius: Yes, totally. My husband

and I usually ask the host whether they would prefer that we remove the sheets or just make the bed.

Usually, they are very grateful. Then we put the comforter, bedspread or

How many pillows should I provide on the bed for my guests? Should they match or have coordinating pillow slips on them?

Koncius: Some people hate it when

there is a mountain of pillows on a bed. There is often little space to put them when you sleep. Sometimes hosts put four full-size pillows on a bed and maybe one smaller pillow.

They don’t have to have coordinating slips at all. Mix it up.

Our guest room is a spare room, and we are not very organized. (There are still boxes from a move last summer.)

It’s supposed to be an office someday, but the whole house needs a makeover.

I know that’s bad, but what’s your best decluttering recommendation?

Koncius: It sounds as though you

don’t have a lot of storage room.

Any chance you could install some under-bed storage boxes to keep stuff out of sight? A couple of filing cabinets could hold office stuff and serve as nightstands. Do the best you can, and if possible don’t have cardboard boxes visible in there. Maybe you could hide them under a skirted table.

Sometimes when I’m a houseguest, the temperature of the room I’m in is less than comfortable. I struggle with how to bring this to the attention of the homeowner. I’ve found that in a lot of cases there is a problem the homeowner is unaware of (the vents to the room have been closed off, for example). In other cases, it’s just a preference issue.

In an ideal world, the host would ask about my comfort the next morning.

and doesn’t return my sink scrubber to its caddy, leaving it wet in the sink. I’ve never said anything to him about it.

Should I? He’s very perceptive about everything else. Maybe I should let it go.

Koncius: Yikes. I don’t

want to know if my guest was too hot or too cold. But some people would say you should be grateful to have a nice room to sleep in and that you shouldn’t complain about anything! It’s a good idea for hosts to provide extra blankets in the closet and a portable fan so guests could come to the rescue themselves if they are not comfortable. I think at a close friend’s home you should definitely mention if you are really uncomfortable.

think leaving notes around is a good idea. If there is a particular problem with the bathroom, such as the shower leaking if you turn it up too high or if you don’t close the shower curtain fully, then you should mention these things to your guest.

But don’t write them down.

I might make a crack about leaving the dishes around if this friend is a frequent guest. But I think you should suck it up about the sink scrubber.

What do you think about a host (close friend) who leaves instructions posted around the bathroom? (For example, “Hang the bathmat on this towel bar,” “Wipe the sink down with rag,” “Afterward put it here,” etc.) I find it really annoying! Meanwhile, when this friend visits me, he leaves dishes wherever they are when he’s done with them

Pillows, especially the ones you sleep on, seem to get really gross really quickly. I’ve used pillow covers in addition to pillow cases, but that doesn’t seem to make them last much longer. What’s the normal time frame for replacing pillows?

Koncius: Because decent

pillows can be bought for about $10 at Marshalls and

T.J. Maxx and such, I would say replace them every year or two.

My beach house has a small laundry room, so there isn’t a lot of room for dirty sheets.

When we have guests, they all want to strip the beds when they leave, which is considerate of them, except that I don’t have a good place to stash the dirty sheets if I’m not planning on spending the next few hours doing laundry. I’ve suggested they leave the sheets on the bed to be changed later by me, but I feel as if that casts doubt on the cleanliness of my guest room. I don’t want guests wondering when they arrive whether I really did change the sheets after the last guest.

Suggestions for what to do?

Koncius: Honesty is the best policy. I would mention on the last day of each guest’s stay that although you know they would be happy to strip the bed, you would appreciate it if they wouldn’t because of the lack of space in your laundry room. You can say that you will do it the next day to indicate that you have it on your radar.

Home renovations create perfect cat pads THE JAPAN NEWS / YOMIURI TOKYO – As the number of cat lovers increases in Japan, so, too, does interest in homes designed specifically for living with felines. Some people have renovated their homes by adding walkways for cats, while others have attached guards over windows to prevent their pets from escaping.

Because cats love climbing and jumping onto high places, the Wan-nyan Kenko Jutaku Kenkyujo design office, based in Tokyo, offers housing solutions so people and their pets can live together.

“Owners should understand the nature of cats before creating a living environment [for them],” said Mitsuru Shimizu, who heads the office.

He added that clients often ask him to install catwalks in their homes.

Akemi Mizushina lives in Tokyo with eight cats and recently refurbished her condominium’s living room. She set up bookshelves around the walls so her cats can walk on them and added a suspension bridge that traverses the room. These catwalks are partially made of glass so that she can see the fluffy tummies and plump pads of her pets from underneath.

“Warm air flows upward in winter,

Akemi Mizushina’s living room in Tokyo is customized for cats. Bookshelves and a platform on the TV serve as a pathway for her felines. A suspension bridge catwalk also runs across the room. Mizushina has eight cats. and my cats climb to higher places to snuggle,” she said.

According to Shimizu, it costs from 500,000 yen (about $4,567) to install a catwalk. Customers can choose colors that suit their furniture and walls.

The sections of the catwalks are made

in a factory in advance and are then usually installed in a day.

“Cats throw up, so it’s important to install catwalks at a height you can reach by stepping on a chair,” Shimizu said.

He added that some cats do not care much for catwalks, so it is important

to know your pet’s characteristics before renovation.

Shimizu also takes orders to install guards across windows and entrances.

Because cats can sneak through narrow gaps, the design office’s guards have spaces less than 5 centimeters wide.

Misawa Homes Co. replaces standard windows with bay windows, which cats are said to love because they can bask in the sun and take a nap. They cost between 200,000 yen and 300,000 yen each.

Misawa Homes also builds wicket gates for doors that cost about 100,000 yen.

Because many people have a hard time finding rental homes that allow tenants to keep cats, Tokyo-based real estate firm Rix Japan set up the website neko-beya.com to cater to such people.

The website, which has been operating for about 1 1/2 years, features about 200 rental homes in Tokyo, Kanagawa Prefecture and other areas. Some of the featured homes are equipped with catwalks or furnished with special wallpaper that is more scratch-resistant.

“Year after year, we’ve found growing demand from people wishing to enjoyably live with cats,” Rix spokesperson Akira Date said. “We receive inquiries mainly from women aged between their 20s and 40s.”

★★★★★★★★★★★

I BUY CARS, TRUCKS, VANS & SUVs I am on the International Bridge Press Association panel that chooses its annual award winners. In the bidding category, I never give high marks to a sequence that features a pair churning out its relay system, in which one partner fully describes his hand and the other player eventually names the final contract. Using bidding judgment is much more impressive -- as in today’s deal from the Beijing Hua Yuan Women’s World Elite Championships held late in 2015.

Only Liu Yan (North) and Lu Yan reached seven diamonds.

South’s two-diamond response was game-forcing, so she could rebid a space-saving two no-trump. North then showed delayed diamond support. This looked scary with no diamond honor, but the controls in the black suits and the singleton heart made the hand excellent for diamonds. After three control-bids, North used Roman Key Card Blackwood, learning first that her partner had both red aces and the diamond king (five diamonds), then the diamond queen and club king (six clubs).

This was sufficient for Liu Yan to jump to seven diamonds.

Declarer won the trump lead, cashed her heart ace, ruffed a heart, cashed the spade ace, ruffed a spade, ruffed a second heart, played a club to her king, drew trumps and claimed. She took three spades, one heart, five diamonds, two clubs and the two ruffs.

1990 & Newer Will beat anyone's price by $300.

With medicine evolving we are able to now offer patients cutting edge treatment options that are alternatives to joint replacement surgery. The Stem Cell Institute of America offers therapies that are cutting edge treatment ideal for improving joint mobility, reducing joint pain and preventing costly and painful surgeries.

At the Wellness Institute of Illinois we have partnered with Stem Cell Institute of America because our providers understand you or someone you love may have been diagnosed with Arthritis, Degenerative Joint Disease or been told you are bone on bone.

We know that as people are diagnosed with these conditions, common

treatments ensue, including OTC medications, prescription drugs, pain killers, physical therapy, injections including cortisone and “rooster comb” (Synvisc, Orthovisc...) and even surgery.

As treatments are tried, the benefit and relief from many of these therapies is short lived and other treatment options are provided to take the previous protocol’s place and still temporary results are obtained. The end result for many of these conditions is major surgery, like a total joint replacement, or live with chronic pain and disability. We have the solution to all these problems and it’s Regenerative Medicine presented by Stem Cell Institute of America.

Regenerative therapy takes advantage of your body’s ability to repair itself, naturally. The army of healing cells is injected to the area by one of our trained practitioners. These procedures are SAFE, ETHICAL and EFFECTIVE at repairing damage and reducing pain while improving your function.

Stem Cell Institute of America’s protocol uses the healing potential of cells derived from Amniotic and Placental Tissue.

This tissue is a rich source of nonimmunogenic cells nearly eliminating the risk of rejection or side effects while providing an incredible healing force in your body. Over the span of a few weeks to months, the cells and growth factors assist your bodies ability to repair and regenerate cartilage, ligaments, joint fluid, muscles, tissues and even nerves. This simple in office procedure can have an incredible impact on your function and restore your pain free life.
