It’s Girl Scout cookie time

Program offers discount rides to residents

It’s that time of year again – time for local Girl Scouts to start selling cookies!

We had a local Scout, 16-year-old Crystal Kotvan of St. Charles, drop off a media cookie kit at our office.

I put out the new flavor of cookie – S’mores – for my co-workers to try and provide feedback. The cookie features crunchy graham crackers on the outside, with creamy chocolate and “marshmallowy” filling on the inside.

We’ll get to the cookie feedback later.

First, I wanted to ask Crystal what she likes about being a Girl Scout.

“I love working with my friends, and I love all the things we learn and all the opportunities we get,” she said, noting she has taken field trips, worked with different people, been on the radio and in a movie thanks to the Girl Scouts program.

Crystal also said that selling cookies has helped her grow as a person.

“I was a pretty shy child,” she said.

“It’s definitely made me a very outgoing person.”

So what does Crystal think of the new S’mores cookie?

“I think it’s very delicious,” she said.

And my co-workers?

“Typically when you hear s’mores – if you are like me – your teeth might start to hurt due to the amount of sugar/sweetness,” said Jennifer Winder, a sales assistant for Shaw Media, which owns the Kane County Chronicle, Elburn Herald and Sugar Grove Herald. “However, this cookie wasn’t too sweet. It was light tasting.”

And intern Jonah Nink wrote: “Like they don’t taste like s’mores, but they’re still really good. So good, in fact, that anyone trying to follow through on their New Year’s resolu-

The Elburn Lions Club is filled with bingo players Jan. 20. Bingo is played every Friday from September to May.

Thursday, January 26, 2017 • KCChronicle.com / The Herald ELH

ELBURN – The first thing one notices at an Elburn Lions Club Bingo Night is the range in ages of the players.

“There’s all age groups,” organizer Nick Carter said. “It’s not just seniors and it’s not just women.”

The Elburn Lions Club holds its Bingo Night every Friday from September to May. The evenings of entertainment and fundraising have been taking place for the past 10 years. It’s completely volunteer run, with Lions Club members and their spouses managing the games and food. There’s also a full-service bar.

Bingo Night on Jan. 20 featured Ream’s Meat Market brats and sloppy Joe’s.

There are four teams of volunteers, one for each of four Friday nights in a month, Carter said. When there is a fifth Friday in the month, the team members pitch in as needed.

There are a few rules, including no outside food, and you have to be 18 years old to play.

The Early Bird Games begin at 6:30 p.m., with the remaining games played from 7 to 9:30 p.m. And bingo isn’t as simple as one might think. There are 19 different bingo games, each with different rules, as well as the option for five raffle games and pull-tab tickets.

People play with six- or 12-card sheets, and keep track of the numbers called by ball caller Chet Cybulski with a marker called a dauber. There are six different colors of daubers, and people usually have their own colors.

“Bingo people are gamblers,” Carter said. “They’re superstitious. Everybody has a rhythm and they play a certain way.”

They also are there to have a good time.

“I like the camaraderie,” said Elburn resident Kathy Semrick, who was with her daughter, Amanda. “It’s a chance to get together and have fun. “ Semrick has been playing bingo for about a year, and this was her daughter’s first time.

“It’s fun and it’s a cost-effective night out,” Elburn Lions Club board member Stacy Groesch said. “And all the proceeds go for a good cause.”

Groesch was at a table with the Semricks, as well as her friend Missy Lewis from Hinckley and a few others.

The money raised from the games goes to fund events such as Breakfast with Santa, Ski for Sight and Bingo for the Visually Impaired. Because all of the people running the event volunteer their time, the money raised can be fully used for the club’s many activities and services.

Carter said you can play one of each of the different games for $18, plus $1 for a dauber.

In addition to winning individual bingo games, certain games include a chance at winning a jackpot. Some of the pots can become substantial, such as the current prize that’s more than $6,000.

A recent jackpot – after 97 weeks without a winner – was up to $15,000, when there were six winners in one night. While the jackpots are amassing money, they are typically split in thirds – one-third to the pot, one-third to the

bingo winner, and one-third to the Lions Club’s programs.

Chuck Galauner manages the pulltabs, a game that takes place simultaneously with the bingo games.

“Bingo” Bob Thomas, one of the runners, circulates around the tables to sell the pull-tab tickets. Every 15 minutes or so, he comes back to Galauner to drop off the tickets and the money.

“It’s three hours of running,” Thomas said.

New construction on the rise in Elburn

By SUSAN ONEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com Elburn saw the construction of 40 new, single-family homes last year, an increase of 166 percent over 2015, Building Superintendent Tom Brennan told the Elburn Village Board on Jan. 17.

“It was a busy and productive year,” Brennan said.

The growth of 2016 marks a more significant increase when compared with the amount of new construction over the past eight years. From 2008 to 2015, the average number of new homes per year in Elburn was 7.5. Comparing the growth in 2016 with the previous eight years, that increase is more than 400 percent.

“The economy has started to pick up,” Elburn Village President Dave Anderson said. “With the Elburn Metra station and the commercial growth that’s taking place, it’s great to see the uptick of the housing.”

Elburn has seen several new commercial construction projects completed in the past several years. Dunkin’

Donuts was built in 2014, and the construction of AutoZone took place in 2016. In addition, Ream’s Meat Market relocated its building, doubling its square footage, and Napa Auto Parts moved its store to a new location last year.

Virtually all of the current residential growth in Elburn is taking place in the Blackberry Creek subdivision.

“Blackberry Creek is the only working subdivision in Elburn [right now],” Brennan said.

Brennan said there are now fewer than 100 empty lots available to build in Blackberry Creek. During the economic downturn over the past eight years, construction in that development had basically ground to a halt.

Brennan said he has so far this year received one building permit request – from Shodeen. The permit is for the

Blackberry Creek subdivision, a development where Shodeen has built a number of homes.

Shodeen representative Dave Patzelt soon will come before the village to ask for approval to build the sales office for Shodeen’s Elburn Station, the mixed-use development that will surround the Elburn Metra station.

Shodeen will need final approval on the first phase of its new development, and must build out new infrastructure, such as sewer, water and roads, before any new homes or businesses can be built.

Brennan said Patzelt is on the schedule for a Plan Commission meeting in February for approval of the sales office. The commission then will make its recommendation to the Village Board, and Patzelt will come back again for the board’s approval.

“It’s a long process,” Brennan said.

The build-out of Elburn Station is expected to take place over the next 20 years.

“Elburn is a great place to live and educate children,” Anderson said.

“We’re blessed.”

Panelists share insights during Economic Forecast

By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com GENEVA – From advocating tax policy changes in Illinois to embracing a new business climate driven by millennials, a lively panel discussion fueled the 2017 Economic Forecast hosted Jan. 17 by the Kane County Chronicle, Elburn Herald and Sugar Grove Herald.

Keynote speaker Ralph Martire, executive director of the bipartisan Center for Tax and Budget Accountability, spoke to a large gathering at the Eagle Brook Country Club in Geneva.

“Only two policies [of] state government have an impact on the health of the private sector – how well the state invests in infrastructure and in education,” he said, emphasizing those factors are what lead to economic growth in wages and jobs.

Martire recommended broadening the state’s sales tax to cover consumer services, and changing the income tax.

The event was hosted by the Kane County Chronicle, Elburn Herald and Sugar Grove Herald.

“Deficit spending is not sustainable,” he said, adding that tying education funding to property wealth has helped lead to a highly inequitable system, and an unfair way

to tax people and businesses.

“Fight for better fiscal policy and a better future for our state.”

Panelist Mary Porter, CEO of Emergent Safety Supply in

Batavia, shared ways to survive as a safety product distribution company in the days of supplier consolidation and online competition. Delivering added value includes streamlining a process that frequently includes customers’ outsourced service providers.

“We specialize in helping customers solve problems,” she said. “It’s all about agility, flexibility.”

Panelist Tom Russe, president of Sterling Bank in St. Charles, was asked about trends in personal savings.

He said savings climbed $1 trillion between 2008 and 2013, spurred by the fear and uncertainly of the Great Recession, but debt now is on the rise again as incomes fall.

“I don’t think we’re stable yet to allow real savings to increase,” Russe said.

On a positive note, Mark VanKerkhoff, an architect and director of the Kane County Development and Community Services Department in Geneva, listed many of Kane County’s “amazing assets for young

State’s attorney reports uptick in crime

By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon said his office has seen a small uptick in the number of felonies, and has secured an increase in the collection of child support payments in the past 12 months.

At his monthly news briefing Jan. 13, he also announced his office’s top employees for the year.

After several years of declining crime numbers in Kane County, McMahon reported a 6.4 percent increase in 2016 felony filings (2,255) compared with 2015. The number of first-degree murder cases rose from 10 in 2015 to 11 in 2016. But general misdemeanors fell from 5,646 in 2015 to 5,210 in 2016. McMahon said the numbers are not quite final yet, and will be official next month.

“We’re fortunate that in the [last] five or six years – regionally and nationally – [there’s been] a downward trend on violent and property crime, really across the board,” McMahon said. “It is cyclical. I don’t think we’ll see drastic spikes.”

McMahon praised the “incredible work” of his office’s child support unit for collecting $27.3 million in 1,124

“We’re fortunate that in the [last] five or six years – regionally and nationally – [there’s been] a downward trend on violent and property crime, really across the board. It is cyclical. I don’t think we’ll see drastic spikes.”

people,” including the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy’s innovation center involving businesses. He also lauded the county’s fiber optic network.

Encouraging business leaders to think regionally was Christine Sobek, president of Waubonsee Community College in Sugar Grove. She also encouraged collaboration rather than competition.

She said community college should be the go-to source to strengthen one’s workforce.

Painting a picture of the new business landscape was Dan Stellato, president of BEI Properties in Batavia, who said large-box retail eventually will be nonexistent, and residential development will feature multifamily dwellings. He talked about common traits for the predominant demographic of millennials, calling them risk averse, technically savvy, broke, interested in healthful foods and self-described foodies who love discounts, pets and sports, and prefer to rent.

cases last year involving parents who hadn’t voluntarily fulfilled their financial obligation. He also lauded the Kane County Board for helping keep the unit funded when the state budget impasse delayed owed financial support for a period of time.

“It’s a really critical social program,” McMahon said. “If we don’t support [single parents], it has a cascading impact on people’s ability to get through life on a daily basis.”

If people do not receive the child support money they are legally entitled to, there will be a greater number of foreclosures, along with demand on shelters and food banks, McMahon said, stressing the importance of enabling people to put food on their table and stay in their home – all of which

benefit to the economy.

State’s attorney staff honors

Four employees of the Kane County State Attorney’s Office have been honored for their contributions to the office, public safety and public service in 2016. A fifth received honorable mention. They were announced last month at the office’s annual year-end celebration and recognition event.

Assistant State’s Attorney Joseph Lulves is the Prosecutor of the Year, and administrative assistant Deb Day is Employee of the Year. In addition, assistant state’s attorneys Laura Maglio and Chris Geocaris were honored for outstanding trial work.

And Assistant State’s Attorney Kelli Schmidt was given honorable mention recognition for conducting 80 trials in 2016.

Lulves, chief of the office’s Civil Division, has been with the office since 2000, and was named chief in 2010. The Civil Division represents all countywide elected officials and serves as legal counsel for Kane County and all of its departments.

“I’m grateful for his work,” McMahon said.

Lulves is described as highly respected for his mentoring, leadership and preparation, as well as his knowledge in many legal arenas. In 2016, he spent considerable time researching and advising county officials and the County Board on a variety of county government matters.

“Joe is a true professional, and the citizens of Kane County are fortunate he chose to work in the public legal arena here in Kane County,” McMahon said in a news release detailing the honorees’ accomplishments. “His approach and his dedication to the law and his knowledge of the law are tremendous assets to every Kane County official and taxpayer.”

Day, a South Elgin native, joined the office in 2010. After about a year as an administrative assistant in the Traffic & Misdemeanor Division,

where she put her previous experience to use addressing inefficiencies, she was named supervisor of support staff for the Domestic Violence, DUI, Kane County Branch Court and Traffic & Misdemeanor divisions.

Day distinguished herself in 2016 – and 2015 – working with people from multiple Kane County agencies as the new computerized case management system was created and implemented. It was for that work in particular that Day was named the office’s employee of the year. She also earned the title in 2011.

“When Deb joined our office, she brought with her many great ideas and organizational skills to make parts of the office run more efficiently,” McMahon said. “She’s proven herself to be an asset to everyone here, and her work with the new case management system has been invaluable.”

The office gave two awards for courtroom excellence – one for felony assistants and one for traffic and misdemeanor assistants. The award is based on a number of factors, including the number and types of trials completed and verdicts.

Maglio was presented with the felony award. She joined the Kane State’s Attorney’s Office in 2012 after she interned with the office while studying for her law degree.

Geocaris was recognized for his excellence with the misdemeanor award.

He joined the office in 2013.

By Sandy Bressner, photo editor at the Kane County Chronicle

I love spending an afternoon or evening in a movie theater. Sometimes, there’s nothing better than relaxing with a big bag of popcorn and escaping into a new world for a couple of hours.

A few weeks ago, I got to spend the afternoon with Randy Pollock, the general manager of the Classic Cinemas Charlestowne 18 movie theater in St. Charles for a story.

Pollock’s father also worked in movie theaters for several decades. In fact, his dad met his mom at the theater. Randy then told me that he, too, met his wife working in the theater many years ago.

“We both married our candy girls,” he said.

What You Should Know Before Buying a Hearing Aid 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.

• 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.

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – The Kane County Electoral Board voted unanimously Jan. 20 to remove an advisory countywide tax freeze referendum from the April 4 consolidated election ballot.

It is the second time such a ballot question filed by state Rep. Allen Skillicorn, R-East Dundee, was removed from a ballot.

An electoral board in McHenry County did the same Jan. 13 for essentially the same reason: not enough signatures as required by law.

Skillicorn’s question would have asked voters whether taxing bodies should have to seek voter approval before increasing their tax levies.

In the Kane County objection filed by Majella Forde of Hampshire, the electoral board agreed that Skillicorn’s petitions did not contain enough signatures, nor were his pages numbered consecutively, both as required by law.

Skillicorn’s petitions contained 302 signatures, well short of the statutory minimum of 8,603 for Kane County.

Similarly in McHenry, a countywide ballot question required 7,566 signatures, but contained only 92.

Skillicorn, describing himself as a “tax cutter” in an emailed news release, had stated that he “filed thousands of signatures from both Kane and McHenry county residents.”

The electoral board also voted unanimously to dismiss Skillicorn’s motion to dismiss Forde’s objection.

Skillicorn had asserted that the objection was deficient, in that it did not include a statement of interest as required by law.

But in its ruling, the electoral board cited a portion of Forde’s objection that served as her statement of interest: “There will be presented substantial, clear, unmistakable and compelling evidence which establishes an utter and contemptuous disregard for the mandatory provisions of the election code.”

The electoral board did not sustain the portion of Forde’s objection regarding petitions lacking the county where they were notarized.

Skillicorn did not respond to a voicemail or email seeking comment on the electoral board’s decision.

Barred owls are stocky birds, 18 to 20 inches in length, with a 42-inch wingspan. Unlike great horned owls, which have two protruding feather tufts or “horns” on their heads, the outline of the barred owl’s head is rounded and smooth.

Note to readers This column originally was published Jan. 9, 2016.

Barred owl diets can include the usual rodent prey, but also rabbits, birds, amphibians, reptiles and invertebrates. In addition, these owls are known to hunt fish and even wade in the shallows chasing crayfish.

Two, while they do have a preference for woodlands with old growth trees, barred owls are not particular about species.

In southern Illinois,

Unlike the great horneds, which rarely vocalize in the daytime, barred owls can whoop it up at almost any time of day. Their call is distinctive, variously described as “hoot-hoot-wahoot, hoot-hoot wahoooo,” or, my favorite, “Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you-allll.”

I’ve seen them perched on the boughs of cypress and tupelo; up here I’ve seen them in silver maples and basswoods. Delnor Woods’ woods are primarily oak-hickory, but with a healthy dose of other trees, including conifers, sprinkled throughout.

Three, barred owls face few threats. Sure, there are the risks that come along with life near humans – namely road mortality and

accidental poisoning. But as far as natural predators, there aren’t many.

Great horned owls will prey on both juvenile and adult barreds, while raccoons will feed on eggs and nestlings.

I’m pretty certain that the barred owls are here to stay.

What I’d like to know though is who else is seeing – or hearing – them, and where.

Unlike the great horneds, which rarely vocalize in

How about it? Does the owl in the picture look familiar to you? Does the call seem like something you have heard in our area?

If so, I’d love to hear about it, and can let others know in next week’s column, where we will continue our look at area owls.

Who doesn’t love a nice surprise? A batch of homemade peppermint bark, fragrant and tasty, pops up on your desk. A five-dollar bill, wet but still perfectly good, wondrously appears inside the washing machine.

A barred owl, uncommon in our area, shows up in a tree at Delnor Woods Park in St. Charles.

Now, that first surprise can be attributed to our friend Julie Long, who supports natural areas and naturalists in many ways, including delightful treats.

And the second surprise, at least in my case, likely is due to a case of forgetfulness, and/or a visit from the laundry elves.

But the third surprise, spotted by Bob and Kathy Andrini during their bird monitoring trip Dec. 22 … well, that shows just how well barred owls are doing in our area.

Historically, Strix varia was a bird of the forests that predominated across eastern North America. The birds preferred unfragmented forest habitat, ideally with some water – a pond, a stream, a swamp. Common in the forested regions of southern Illinois, the species has been considered rare here in Kane County. But that may be changing.

Although somewhat sedentary by nature – they are nonmigratory and often spend their entire lives within a 6-mile radius – barred owls nonetheless seem to be steadily advancing their local range.

I remember hearing my first barred owls in our area back about 10 or 12 years ago at Johnson’s Mound and Blackberry Maples Forest Preserves, both of which are in Elburn; I also recall hearing one at Bliss Woods in Sugar Grove. In 2009 a barred owl was noted during the Christmas Bird Count at Fermilab in Batavia.

And now the Andrinis have reported one in St. Charles.

A few factors may be working in the barred owls’ favor.

One, they aren’t fussy eaters.

Lawmakers return, donate controversial stipend

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com State Rep. Keith Wheeler, R-Oswego, said he will donate a stipend of $1,506 for two days of work after being named House Republican conference chairman in the waning days of the 99th General Assembly.

House Republican Leader Jim Durkin appointed Wheeler to the position. He also appointed state Rep. Peter Breen, R-Lombard, as an assistant House Republican leader following the Peter Breen retirement of state Rep. Ed Sullivan.

Durkin named Breen and Wheeler to fill the posts on Jan. 9 and 10, the last two days of the 99th General Assembly. The 100th General Assembly began Jan. 11.

The leadership positions carry a monthly stipend of $1,506. But because

“We don’t have a choice by law, but we will then be donating it back to the state by some process that I am not fully aware of yet. That is what our legal people told us is the way it has to be done.”

State Rep. Keith Wheeler, R-Oswego Breen and Wheeler weren’t named to the posts until the final two days of the 99th General Assembly, they were effectively being paid that amount for two days of work.

Both Breen and Wheeler said they have no plans to keep the stipends, which they technically haven’t received yet.

“We’re getting paid six months in arrears, so I wouldn’t even see that money until June,” Breen said. “It wasn’t like I got a check that day.”

Breen was elected to the General Assembly in 2014. House rules state that committee spokesman positions may only be held by lawmakers with

at least three terms under their belt or lawmakers who have been named to a leadership position.

“There’s a special provision of the rules that says you can be a spokesperson if you get a leadership stipend in the prior General Assembly,” Breen said. “That’s how it happened.”

Breen said he didn’t even know how much the stipend would be until he read about it in a news story.

“There was never any intention to unduly increase the salary, certainly,” he said. “It was two days of work. The way the law reads, as I understand it, is that the gentleman who retired will

get a stipend, and then they would have paid me a stipend as well. So there is no reason to have a double payment of a stipend to two different representatives.”

Now that a new General Assembly is beginning, Breen said he didn’t immediately know whether he will be able to keep his leadership post.

“I’m honored to serve in whatever way I’m chosen to serve,” he said. “It was a great honor to be selected for this.”

Wheeler said he plans to accept the stipend and donate it back.

“We don’t have a choice by law, but we will then be donating it back to the state by some process that I am not fully aware of yet,” he said. “That is what our legal people told us is the way it has to be done.”

Wheeler said he also was honored to have been named to the leadership post, even temporarily.

“The purpose was really so I’d be eligible to serve as a minority spokesman in the next General Assembly because we are so short-handed,” he said.

JOHN JOSEPH WILK, JUNIOR Born: February 28, 1936 Died: January 12, 2017

John Joseph Wilk, Junior, of Sugar Grove, Illinois, passed peacefully at the age of 80 on January 12, 2017.

Born February 28, 1936, he was the only son of the John J. Wilk, Senior, and Agnes (Forys) Wilk of Chicago, Illinois. He attended St. Ann’s Grammar School and Holy Trinity High School, both in Chicago.

After high school, John served in the Illinois National Guard and United States Navy where he served as a Quartermaster with the Pacific fleet aboard the USS Rowan and USS Twining.

Following honorable discharge from the Navy, John worked while attending school and learning his life’s trade at Coyne Electrical Institute. After graduating from Coyne, he joined Aurora West School District 129 as the District Electrician. He retired in 1998 after 30 years of service.

John met his life’s love, Loretta Genevieve Wilk, and they courted for nearly eight years before they married on October 4, 1958.

Together they raised three children, cared for family, and even found time for family camping trips and the rare vacation.

Away from work, he was a supportive Father, enjoyed tropical fish, read biographies and history, and developed a love for computers and family history. His true passion was the family Christmas Village, a collection of buildings, figurines and scenery that was meticulously assembled each Thanksgiving in a unique and special way. It was his joy to share with friends and family each Christmas season. A tradition he has passed to his Grandchildren.

John was preceded in death by his Mother and Father.

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com WEST CHICAGO – About 250 people packed a meeting room Jan. 23 at the DuPage Airport, just down the hall from the district office of U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Wheaton, to call upon the congressman to take action against climate change.

Organized by the Sierra Club Illinois Chapter, the Union of Concerned Scientists, and Northern Illinois Jobs with Justice, advocates for addressing climate change spoke for less than an hour, calling upon the public and elected representatives to step up.

J.C. Kibbey with the Union of Concerned Scientists said the science is clear that climate change is happening and that human activity through fossil fuels is the cause. Kibbey said the world needs to move to a clean energy economy as soon as possible.

“I hope Representative Roskam is listening here,” Kibbey said. “Because this does not need to be a partisan issue. There are 100,000 jobs in the clean energy sector.”

Roskam consistently has voted against attempts to limit carbon emissions, increase renewable energy, or increase energy efficiency, despite the growing demand for action from scientific experts and his constituents, organizers said in a statement.

Kibbey said 97 percent of scientists believe that climate change is real, and the only scientists who do not agree are being paid by the fossil fuel industry.

“Science cannot defend itself,” Kibbey said. “Being right is not enough.

The only way we will have policy based on real facts and real science instead of corporate-funded propaganda is if we stand up and defend it.”

A spokesman sent an email statement from Roskam regarding the rally Jan. 23, stating that he “supports an all-of-the-above-approach when it comes to energy.”

“American ingenuity can make it possible to rid ourselves of our dependence on foreign oil and eliminate a major national security threat,” Roskam’s email stated. “New advancements in technology and research allow us to better provide for our energy and security needs, while safeguarding our natural resources for the future.‎”‎ Mary Shesgreen of Northern Illinois Jobs with Justice countered that the goal is not to rely on fossil fuels at all – and to change from a fossil fu-

Shesgreen called for those who work in the fossil fuel industry to receive government support and training for new jobs.

“Our ecosystem cannot afford any new fossil fuel infrastructure,” Shesgreen said. “That means no new oil or gas pipelines, no new fracking wells, no new oil tankers, no new drilling.”

Jack Darin, director of the Sierra Club Illinois Chapter, said Roskam’s constituents are making themselves clear.

“They demand action to confront climate change and are ready and willing to hold elected officials accountable for failing to protect our planet,” Darin said.

Lombard resident Linda Sullivan, who attended the rally, said she was concerned that all the progress on clean energy and environmental issues would be reversed in a Trump administration.

“If they don’t go further than the Obama administration did, it’s kind

of game over for the planet,” Sullivan said. “Once the polar ice caps melt, there’s a tipping point ... where you can’t put it back.”

Sullivan said the majority of Roskam’s constituents will support him if he supports climate science initiatives and policies.

“This is a very conservative district,” Sullivan said. “But everybody needs clean air. Everybody needs clean water. Everybody needs a livable planet. And that’s the message we have – that he needs to do the right thing on the environment. And his constituents have his back.”

What real men talk about I’m struggling against resistance machines at a neighborhood gym when my peripheral vision catches two men talking. Jackson Browne’s “Running on Empty” runs through my earbuds, so I can’t hear them, but their stances and outfits tell me they lead comfortable, unassailable lives.

Doctors? Lawyers? Hedge fund managers? Trust fund babies? I imagine them downtown commuters, secretary summoners.

I’m nothing like them.

They wear the likes of Under Armour compression shorts and inscrutable, left-breasted logo tops; I wear the corduroys I taught in today and a Geneva Park District T-shirt won in a raffle.

As a high school teacher and occasional writer, I envy how smartly they fit into a world apparently designed for them – men who play golf, commute to New York, watch TV sports, and make the kind of money in a day that I make in a year.

Naturally, I want to spy on them. By eavesdropping, maybe I can slip inside their gated world, peer through a downstairs window into the cryptic nature of their lives – and thus learn how to befriend that sense of advantage.

I unplug my music. “ … China’s always outdone America.”

“You want something made, you’re stupid not to pay a quarter of the price.”

Huh? The economy? That’s the guardhouse password into their gated compound? For all I know about international economics, they could be speaking ancient Urdu. And no matter what I read, said or wrote, multinational finances would remain unfazed, my contribution as inconsequential as a dust speck in a Caterpillar plant.

If economics rule Real Men’s considerations, I’m good where I am. Give me talk about movies and books; give me hilarious, self-depre-

“It is difficult to get the news from poems,” wrote William Carlos Williams, “yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there.”

I leave the gym feeling satisfied, gratified.

Long ago, in a New York Central dining car, my mother asked our waiter how, with the train rocking back and forth, he could carry coffee without spilling it.

“I look where I’m going,” he smiled. “Worry about the coffee by looking down, it’ll spill for sure.”

Worrying about whether there’s a secret to a man’s posture of sovereignty, I’d threatened to spill my own great happiness: a loving family, a creative bent and a career that allows me to share my passion for reading and writing with some terrifically talented, witty and bright young people who help keep me young. Real Men didn’t worry about others’ lives; they looked where they were going.

A few days later, two different men stand chatting.

Not envious, just curious, I listen in.

“Doesn’t seem like exercise is doing you any good,” one chides, leading the other to retort, “I’m a [heck] of a lot better looking than you!”

Good-hearted insults.

Maybe these guys are the real Real Men. Guys like me.

Starting my last semester at Waubonsee On Jan. 17, I woke up at 7:30 in the morning to start my day. I drank a cup of coffee and ate a bowl of granola cereal.

As always, I somehow poured more cereal than I could ever possibly eat. (I’ve got to stop doing that!) I got all dolled up and put on a nice sweater and jeans. I then hopped in my car and drove 20 minutes to my college’s campus.

That day was my first day back to classes at Waubonsee Community College in a month due to winter break.

When I arrived, parking was a pain. What else is new?

I walked to my first class and was greeted by my friend in the hallway, who is in that same class. The two of us found the correct classroom and found some seats. Then it all dawned on me. This spring semester is my last semester at Waubonsee. I graduate from Waubonsee in May. Part of me is relieved. In just a few months I will have finished my two first years of college. Meaning, all my general education classes will be completed and I can take classes relating to my major when I transfer schools. No more math or science classes, thank good-

BEFORE THE DIPLOMA Denise Cartina ness! If there’s anything that I’ve learned from my entire school career, it’s that I need to stay away from those two subjects. I plan on transferring to Illinois State University this fall. Graduating from Waubonsee will allow me to start a new chapter in my life.

Yet, I’m also terrified to transfer and leave my family behind as I venture into unknown territory. I’ve been attached to my mother for 19 years of my life – what am I going to do without seeing her every day? It’s going to be an exciting, new adventure transferring to ISU, but it’s also going to be a ton of work to figure everything out before moving in. Picking classes, paying thousands of dollars for tuition and having to buy items to live on my own stresses me out. As much as I just want to ignore everything for now because I won’t be transferring until August, these worries are in the back of my head most days.

As of now, I’m just trying to get adjusted to my new classes and professors. So far, my professors all seem passionate about what they are teaching, and the classes all seem very hands-on and interactive. My new classes are basically the opposite of the ones last semester, which were all lectures.

I’m naturally shy and I enjoy listening to professors speak, and I oddly prefer lectures.

However, it’ll be nice to break out of my shell and participate in class discussions and presentations.

This semester is going to be different. At the end of this semester, I’ll earn an associate degree. When this semester ends, everything will be new to me again. I’ll be going to a new school, new environment and experiencing new adventures.

Tips for setting financial goals for 2017 Even though 2017 is only a few weeks old, a new year means a clean slate and new ambitions. While many people choose to focus on exercise, eating healthy or learning new skills, January is also a great time to set a few financial goals for the year. Keep in mind that while you likely won’t achieve these goals overnight, a bit of progress over the next 12 months can go an exceptionally long way.

Here are a few ideas: Prepare for the unexpected. Unexpected events, such as a car accident, loss of income, surgery or a flooded basement, can negatively impact your finances if you are unprepared. While it’s impossible to predict the future, establishing an emergency fund stocked with enough cash to cover three to six months of expenses can help mitigate the outcome of events that take us by surprise.

Opening a separate bank account and setting up automatic contributions is one of the best strategies for creating an emergency fund. Although it may be

VIEWS Frank DeVincentis difficult to set aside money for future use, an emergency fund provides an invaluable financial safety net.

Update insurance beneficiaries. Many of us buy insurance, hastily fill out the paperwork and then place it into a file.

Make sure to review insurance forms and confirm the designations are accurate, as beneficiaries are likely to change as you age and experience different life events. For example, you may decide to name your child as a beneficiary when he or she turns 18 or need to make adjustments if you have recently divorced.

Keeping beneficiaries current helps ensure a smooth process should anything unexpected occur, while also preventing a potentially large and complicated financial headache.

Monitor your credit report. Credit

reports provide a summary of your credit situation and include everything from payment history and debt to new accounts and types of credit.

Many people solely rely on their monthly statements to check credit, but credit reports are much more comprehensive and indicative of your current situation.

Remember, you are entitled to up to three free credit reports per year. In addition to gaining a greater awareness of your credit history and current standing, credit reports are an effective way to monitor for fraud or extraneous accounts.

Cut wasteful spending. Cutting wasteful spending is a popular January goal and surely tops many 2017 checklists. Some plan to reduce spending in hopes of relieving debt, while others want to allocate more money to retirement or simply place a greater emphasis on saving. Regardless of the reason, cutting spending requires discipline and planning.

As a first step, I recommend ana-

lyzing 2016 spending and determining where you overspent. Based on that information, develop specific buckets (i.e. groceries, education, travel, entertainment, etc.) with strict spending limits for 2017. Staying below those limits is key. Additionally, strategies such as eating out less and planning a staycation instead of traveling can help cut down on excess spending.

Take some time this January to focus on your finances. Think about where you excel, where you need to focus and establish short-, medium- and long-term objectives. This approach will help you set realistic goals to guide your finances in the right direction for 2017 and beyond.

MAPLE PARK – Kaneland High School administrators have been so pleased with the recent use of Hero, a cloud-based student behavior management software program, that they are beginning a new phase that will revolve around positive behavior reinforcement.

“We piloted it during homecoming week and we had positive interventions,” said Ryan Malo, dean of students. “For example, when students dressed in spirit wear or attended the Powder Puff game, they [accrued] points based on that and it was nice to see the kids get involved. Now we’ve met with the teachers and some students to figure out what types of rewards would be possible.”

Those meetings involved Principal Jill Maras and Assistant Principal Carri Oslager with committees made up of staff and students. They gathered feedback from the editorial staff of the Kaneland Krier as well as the student council to determine what behaviors they would recognize and possible incentives.

The program allows students to receive Hero points randomly throughout the day from any Kaneland High School staff member. They may earn as many points as they can each semester.

Points are awarded for supporting others, showing positive character inside or outside of class, and for overall school spirit.

Students with the highest point totals will be celebrated in the school announcements, and throughout the common areas and cafeteria. A variety of prizes have been discussed, including spirit wear, gift cards, prom or Mr. Kaneland tickets, parking passes and more.

“One of the neat things about the

“It was a pretty drastic change and provided some fantastic results. We wanted to make the halls more secure and the school more secure and to have better accountability. There has been a lot less consequences because we’ve been able to be more efficient in other areas.”

program is that it has an app for students and parents, so there’s immediate communication,” Malo said. “If a student earns points, parents immediately can be notified of that. If they’ve gotten a tardy and there’s a consequence, they’re notified of that, too, so there’s far less miscommunication.”

The Kaneland Board of Education approved a one-year agreement to use the Hero program last July. Since it offers so much versatility and options, the high school has been slowly rolling out some of the features.

Before the incentive program, the focus was on tardies and the school saw a decrease from 1,729 to 995 tardies thanks to the Hero program.

“It was a pretty drastic change and provided some fantastic results,” Malo said. “We wanted to make the halls more secure and the school more secure and to have better accountability.

There has been a lot less consequences because we’ve been able to be more efficient in other areas.”

Hero’s contract is over at the end of the 2017-18 school year, but likely will be renewed, administrators said.

It comes with an annual fee of $7,425.

Kaneland senior Kylie Modaff (left) watches from the bench Jan. 17 during the Knights’ home game against Yorkville. Despite a season-ending knee injury, Modaff has remained involved with the Knights as a mentor to the younger players.

THE KID COACH Despite injury, Kylie Modaff a crucial piece of Kaneland’s stellar girls basketball team

By CHRIS ROLLIN WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK – Kylie Modaff expected to be draining 3-pointers and giving Kaneland another daunting offensive threat this season.

Instead, she’s become a teenage coach.

A devastating knee injury just weeks before the season began ruined her senior season, but rather than sulk, she’s rehabbing with the hope of playing in college, while also providing inspiration and leadership while sitting on the bench.

“When you lose someone who has her amount of passion, that’s tough and there’s not much you can do,” Kane-

land coach Ernie Colombe said. “She’s been supportive and encouraging. It’s a setback that she can overcome, and she’s done a good job of staying positive and helping our younger kids.”

Her numbers last season weren’t eye-popping, but there was no doubt she was a player on the rise. She averaged seven points and two rebounds per game while knocking down 42 3-pointers. She scored in all but one of Kaneland’s games, so it’s hard to estimate how significant she would have been if she could have stepped on the hardwood this winter.

“It’s hard to even grasp when you realize your season is over,” Modaff said. “As a positive person I believe it happened for a reason. I think God realized I was strong enough to deal with it. I’ve just been trying to keep a smile on my face and I know things could be much worse.”

Kaneland (17-4) knew it would have to overcome major losses from last

season’s team because of graduation, primarily point guard Camri Conley and center Bailey Crimmins, but losing Modaff for the season was not anticipated.

“I’m still able to contribute to our basketball team, and that’s helped me,” Modaff said. “I’ve always thought that I would get on the coaching side, and we have a young group of girls who are still learning. I’m happy to help as much as I can and I think that I have.”

Her impact is coming in a different way.

“She’s a big part of the team even though she can’t play,” Kaneland junior Addie Ringel said. “I’ve had some tough games before, and she’ll help me clear my head, and she motivates us.

She’s definitely been a big help.”

Modaff hurt her left knee while rising up for a rebound. It’s something she’s done countless times, but this time she landed off-balance and did

major damage to her ACL and meniscus as well as other parts of her leg.

“When I went to the doctor I had hoped it wasn’t anything major,” she said. “This wasn’t what I expected. I knew I wasn’t right, but never thought it was this bad.”

The Knights could have been a team that struggled with far more losses than wins without her in the lineup, but they’ve continued to find ways to win.

Thanks to the strong play of returnees Jenni Weber, Morgan Weber and Jamie Martens, along with newcomers Bryanna Kigyos, Hannah Armin and the Ringel sisters (Addie and Grace), they’re thriving.

Modaff’s contributions are coming from the bench.

“Kylie’s been here three years now, so she knows how to be supportive to her teammates,” Colombe said. “She holds them accountable and has been a good leader for us. We’re happy to have her here.”

Thursday, January 26, 2017 • KCChronicle.com / The Herald

MAPLE PARK – With a definite size advantage against injury-depleted Kaneland, the DeKalb boys basketball team looked to feed the ball inside.

Foul trouble might have derailed that plan for a short while in the first half, but the Barbs scored 15 of the first 18 points in the game, shot 68 percent from the field for the game, and beat the Knights 57-36 to snap a three-game losing streak.

“Driving was a main message,” said DeKalb guard Michael Mitchell, who made all six of his two-points shots and was 2 for 4 from 3-point range, finishing with a game-high 19 points. “We’ve been struggling shooting lately, so it was like drive, drive, drive. Don’t force anything. Take what they give you.”

The game started with the Barbs (13-6, 5-0 Northern Illinois Big 12 East) feeding the ball inside to 6-foot-6 forward Darvon Sisson against a Kaneland team that started four players 5-9 or shorter. The Knights (4-15, 1-4) were without leading scorer Blake Feiza (6foot-3), as well as 6-1 Jack Douglas.

Sisson made his first three shots, but picked up two fouls in the first quarter, as did Marcus Bobo. Instead of building on the 15-3 lead after the first quarter, the Barbs committed turnovers on their first two possessions in the second, leading to five Kaneland points. The Barbs’ lead hovered between nine and 14 points until they closed the game on a 12-0 run.

Sisson stayed out of foul trouble in the second half, shot 8 of 10 from the floor, and finished with 16 points and a game-high six rebounds.

The Barbs also finished with a 25-12 edge on the boards. The Knights had only six rebounds through the first three quarters.

“We played really hard, but we don’t have anybody to keep anybody off the boards,” Kaneland coach Joe Conroy said. “It came down to rebounds, and we don’t have anybody to rebound the basketball. ... They’re big, and we’re 5-8.”

Dan Franck scored nine points for the Knights.

Rhett Espe scored nine off the bench, and Jake Hed chipped in eight for Kaneland.

It was the ninth straight loss for Kaneland, which shot 33 percent from the floor.

Conroy said the Knights alternated between man and zone defense in an effort to keep the Barbs off balance.

“I thought switching the defensive looks was giving DeKalb some trouble,” Conroy said. “I thought we did what we wanted. We did a good job attacking in the first half, but in the

Kaneland crowns two champs at NIB 12 tourney

By EDDIE CARIFIO ecarifio@shawmedia.com MAPLE PARK – Kaneland senior Austin Kedzie already had a win against DeKalb freshman Fabian Lopez this season.

But rematches often prove to be more difficult in sports, and it held true for Kedzie at the Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference Tournament at Kaneland on Jan. 21.

DeKalb’s freshman 120-pounder avenged an earlier loss this season to Kedzie, the defending Class 2A state runner-up. Lopez won by a 14-4 decision to become one of two champions for the Barbs, who took second as a team to Yorkville.

The championships for Lopez and teammate Cobe Schmerbach at 160 weren’t enough to overcome the four championships won by the Foxes.

Yorkville won the team title with a 184.5-178 showing over the Barbs.

Sycamore was sixth with 117.4 points, and Kaneland was seventh with 110.

The Knights had only six wrestlers compete. All placed, and sophomore Nathan Orosco (106) and senior Riley Vanik (182) won titles.

Kedzie was runner-up at 120, and senior Colin Gussman took second at 220 pounds.

While Lopez was taking the top of the podium for the first time, so was Vanik.

For all his postseason successes, Vanik hadn’t won the conference tournament. He corrected that with a 3-1 overtime win against Cody Baldridge of Morris, who entered the title match at 182 with a 29-0 record.

“It feels really great because I’ve been going here all four years, haven’t been on top of the podium,” Vanik said. “It feels great. It feels like I’m on top of the world right now. I can beat anybody.”

In the match against Baldridge, each wrestler had an escape in regulation. Vanik got a takedown with 23 seconds left in the overtime.

“I know most wrestlers usually get a little sloppy in the overtime periods,” Vanik said. “I’ve been keeping my gas tank up, and I was just ready to hit whatever I could find.”

Orosco said he entered the tournament hoping to dominate. He won his two contested matches by a combined 30-5, including 12-2 over Sycamore’s Trevor Boryla in the final. He said his main goals are to perform well at the regional and sectional, and this was just a “small stop” along the way.

“I feel pretty good going in,” Orosco said. “I’m pretty confident. I just have to focus on getting my weight down and staying positive.”

Restaurant Juliette plots romantic dining

By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com GENEVA – A grand romantic gesture lies behind the naming of Restaurant Juliette, newly opened in Geneva to embody a charming Parisian bistro.

It’s the latest venture for chefs Juliette and David Reyes, who own The Finery & Blacksmith Bar in St. Charles and The Grandstander in Geneva. They have extensive culinary experience, including Michelin-starred restaurants in the U.S. and France.

“There’s an international influence in every restaurant we put together,” David Reyes said. “We stay focused on great ingredients and seasonality.”

The title of the new restaurant was kept a secret from its namesake by her husband, who thought it a perfect fit for a French bistro.

“Her mother being a Francophile spelled her name in the French form,” he said. “I joke about it with guests

who come in. [Juliette] let me go to the World Series. The least I could do is name a restaurant after her. She’s been the driving force in my life, inspiring me to do better and work hard.”

The restaurant occupies the attractively appointed space of the former Hache, and the couple have added lighting and decor touches, including artwork on the theme of love.

The acquisition was unexpected, David Reyes said.

“The owners of Hache came to us and asked us if we wanted to partner up and take over 100 percent of the operation, and we agreed,” he said. “We have excellent staff to help us in every location and in every aspect – both in the kitchen and service.”

David and Juliette Reyes met while attending Kendall College culinary school in Chicago, rooted in classical French cuisine. They said Restaurant Juliette brings them back to their roots.

“It’s a lot of fun for us to dabble in classical French,” David Reyes said.

“Being a younger generation, we want to bring a little bit of modern thought and execution to some of the French bistro dishes. We’re doing everything from a classical ham sandwich with amazing goat butter on a beautiful baguette to bouillabaisse, and frog legs [in] tempura batter served with chutney and roasted squash.”

Juliette Reyes said other specialties include mussels with white wine and garlic; a frisee salad with bacon, blue cheese and duck egg; steak and fries; roast chicken with spinach and potato puree; and a French colonial sandwich inspired by some of the French Vietnamese dishes popular in Paris.

“Part of the thought process was to

make that [new] space more than just a special occasion place,” David Reyes said. “The price point is approachable.

We want to open up for lunch soon and offer a quick carry-out menu for businesses in Geneva … and then incorporate a delivery program. [We have] a good selection of sandwiches on our menu.”

He said they also will concentrate on quality wine selections at under $40 to pair with food.

And has Juliette Reyes adjusted to what’s in a name when it comes to the restaurant?

“I’m a very humble person, and I don’t like a lot of attention,” she said.

“It’s definitely something I have to get used to. It’s something a lot of chefs aspire to. I appreciate it all.”

For now, Restaurant Juliette is open from 4 to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and is available for private parties. For information, call 630-402-0288.

Sean Hargadon (clockwise from left), Ann Keen, Justin Schaller and R. Scott Purdy perform in “Random Theft and Other Acts.” The play runs through Feb. 5 at Steel Beam Theatre in St. Charles.

Steel Beam tests its mettle with ‘Random Theft’ ST. CHARLES – Steel Beam Theatre has opened its 16th season with “Random Theft and Other Acts,” a dark comedy that’s full of surprises.

Written by John David Westby and directed by Marge Uhlarik-Boller, the play takes its time setting the stage during the first act. Some might even say too much time is spent laying the groundwork.

But the pace definitely picks up steam during the second act.

The storyline initially focuses on a desperate trio of well-educated but unemployed suburbanites who resort to holding up a bank as a survival strategy.

“Random Theft” takes place around 2009. It’s after midnight and the place where everyone gathers to divvy the spoils is a room at a seedy motel. Credit Pete Steele for the well-executed set and lighting design.

Bruce Worthel also merits a gold star for a job well done as fight choreographer.

In a director’s note, Uhlarik-Boller describes the play as a mix “of comedy and violence with a touch of romance for good measure.” “‘Random Theft and Other Acts’ is a play about plans that don’t quite pan out in funny and often terrifying ways,” Uhlarik-Boller adds.

Martie (Ann Keen) was the brains behind the heist. Smarting from a divorce and seeking revenge, she enlisted some friends – all rank amateurs

FOOD

By LISA ABRAHAM More Content Now

Use eggs within three to five weeks of the day you purchase the eggs and placed them in your refrigerator. The sell-by date may expire during that time, but the eggs still will be safe to eat, according to the U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service.

Don’t buy eggs for which the sell-by or use-by date has already expired.

An older egg will float in water, however, not all older eggs are bad. If an egg has gone bad, it will give off a foul smell when cracked open.

Does cooking kill E. coli bacteria? – Linda Sapp, Raleigh, North Carolina

The E. coli bacteria that can cause foodborne illness will die at 160 degrees. Just cooking something, however, might not be enough to kill the bacteria. A food item must be cooked to the proper temperature.

That means cooking hamburgers to well-done, as ground meat is one of the most common sources of foodborne E. coli.

The recent recall of flour due to E. coli contamination also means using extra care with baked goods. Even though cookies might bake in a 350-degree oven, they might not be in the oven long enough to reach 160 degrees, particularly for those bakers who like to pull their cookies out of the oven a little early to achieve a gooey center.

Because E. coli also can enter our kitchens in other ways, here is a helpful list of tips from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to prevent E. coli contamination: • Wash hands thoroughly after using the bathroom or changing diapers and before preparing or eating food.

Wash hands after contact with animals or their environments at farms, petting zoos, fairs or other outdoor locations.

• Cook meats thoroughly. Ground beef and meat that has been needle-tenderized should be cooked to a temperature of at least 160 degrees.

It’s best to use a thermometer, as color is not a very reliable indicator of doneness.

• Prevent cross contamination in food-preparation areas by thoroughly washing hands, counters, cutting boards and utensils after they touch raw meat.

• Avoid raw milk, unpasteurized

Eggs will keep in the refrigerator up to five weeks, even if the sell-by date has passed.

dairy products and unpasteurized juices such as fresh apple cider.

I have a large quantity of basil that I want to freeze and save for later. How can I keep it from turning black in the freezer? – C.W., Pataskala, Ohio

The best way to keep herbs from turning black when frozen is to blanch and freeze them in olive oil.

Drop the basil leaves in boiling water until they show a bright-green color, about a minute or less. Remove the leaves and place them immediately in a bowl of ice water for a minute. Dry the leaves, then pack them in olive oil and store them in the freezer.

You can freeze the basil leaves in an ice-cube tray filled with olive oil so you can remove the herb in small quantities when you want to use it.

With the tray stored in a large zipper-lock bag, the herbs should keep for several months.

What is unbleached flour? – I.B., Reynoldsburg, Ohio

All-purpose flour comes in two varieties, bleached or unbleached.

Bleaching chemically ages flour, changing its color from ivory to white.

The change happens naturally over time; bleaching speeds up the process.

Chemical bleaching, however, also changes the flour’s structure so that it does not form gluten as well as unbleached flour. As a result, don’t use bleached flour for bread-baking, where the formation of gluten is important to the structure of the bread dough.

Save bleached all-purpose flour for when you’re baking more delicate pastry, such as cake, cookies or pie crust.

Whether a flour is bleached or unbleached should be clearly marked on the front of its bag.

What is the difference between sea salt, kosher salt and table salt? – W.L.H., Columbus, Ohio

In general, salt is salt – the chemical compound known as sodium chloride.

Table salt is the fine-textured version of sodium chloride. Kosher salt is a coarser version of table salt.

Its coarser grains are needed to treat meats to make them kosher.

Table salt typically has iodine added to it, a tradition that dates to the 1920s, when iodine deficiencies were causing thyroid ailments.

Both table salt and kosher salt might have anti-caking agents added to them. Pickling salt is a version of

table salt without iodine and no anti-caking agents.

Table salt and kosher salt are equally good for cooking.

Sea salt is exactly what is sounds like – salt produced from evaporated seawater (oceans or saltwater lakes).

Table salt is mined from underground salt deposits.

The source of sea salt affects its taste and color (think pink Himalayan sea salt).

Because of its unique flavors, sea salt is typically sold in larger flakes.

Use it as a finishing salt to sprinkle on top of foods just before serving them.

All three salts have the same amount of sodium, despite claims that sea salt is somehow more healthful. It has been suggested that the large flake size of sea salt results in putting less on foods, but that notion is debatable.

FAMILY

OH NO! Middle school!

A frazzled girl shares journey, insights into preteens

By MIA GEIGER • The Washington Post

A

s a middle-schooler, Booki Vivat stressed over what her “thing” was: What was the thing that made her special? Now, the 20-something is mining that territory in a book that is resonating with tweens.

Her debut book, “Frazzled: Everyday Disasters and Impending Doom,” chronicles the life of sixth-grader Abbie Wu. Vivat, an associate publicist at Harper Collins Children’s Books, wrote and illustrated the book, which incorporates black ink drawings with text to tell the tale of a beleaguered adolescent.

We spoke with Vivat, 27, about middle school, finding a “thing,” and the allure of books that combine art with text.

Washington Post: Why set your book in middle school?

Booki Vivat: When I was deciding what I wanted to write, I had this character

in mind and a character that was a fictionalized version of myself when I was young. I went back to thinking about when things started changing for me – when I started feeling this sense of impending doom and the sense that I wasn’t sure what I was doing and where I was going. For me that was middle school; I felt this pressure to have things figured out.

The great thing about kids is What better place to have my character who is terrified of change, terrified of they are honest about having not knowing where she is going, than in [big] emotions. As an adult, middle school?

“

WP: What are Abbie’s big concerns?

BV: Abbie is wrestling with three big

questions – she’s wrestling with them in her middle school context, but these are questions we’re all kind of dealing with as we grow up. The questions of who I am, where do I belong and what is my thing.

WP: What do you mean by a “thing?”

BV: What am I good at, what am I

known for? Everyone is searching for their thing. In our culture, our society, there is an expectation that when you know what your thing is you know who you are. For me, that was a question that came up in middle school.

you feel like you have to hold it in, but as a kid you have the freedom to feel things. When you start getting older, you’re told to calm down, be more controlled. I wanted my readers to feel like the big feelings were valid and completely understandable.”

– Booki Vivat Young adult author

WP: What makes middle school so scary?

BV: In middle school things get a little more serious. There’s a level of uncertain-

ty and change that feels very big, going from elementary school to middle school.

For me, in middle school we went from having one teacher to having a bunch of

teachers to having lockers to having shifting schedules. Also, in middle school you are changing so much. You enter one way and you get out physically a different person, as well as mentally. There is this level of uncertainty that is terrifying.

WP: Abbie has big emotions.

BV: The great thing about kids is they

are honest about having those emotions. As an adult, you feel like you have to hold it in, but as a kid you have the freedom to feel things. When you start getting older, you’re told to calm down, be more controlled. I wanted my readers to feel like the big feelings were valid and completely understandable.

WP: What was your goal in writing this book?

BV: I wanted to highlight the fact that

growing up and getting older is a process. You can feel like something is your thing one moment, and then the next moment it’s not your thing anymore.

WP: What is the appeal of illustrated books for kids?

BV: Kids nowadays are very savvy, and they are visual learners. They can ascribe a lot of meaning to actual images because so much more is readily available. It’s a whole new level of literacy. They are seeking out different ways of telling stories and different ways of reading stories.

WP: How did the book come about?

BV: It didn’t start with a manuscript

or query letter or any typical form of getting a book published. I have these planners where I write down my appointments, and I started keeping them a few years ago. I noticed as the years have passed I started doodling and playing around with text and using it as a creative outlet. Soon doodles started taking over the page. I’ll draw my appointments but also how I’m feeling that day. At one point, this fell into the hands of an editor at Harper Collins. She saw a doodle I had done; it was very dramatic and very personal.

Women’s movement not damaged Dr. Wallace: I invited a guy out on a date and he accepted. We went to a concert because I had won two tickets in a contest sponsored by a local radio station. After the concert, we went to a restaurant for a late night snack. When it came to pay, he picked up the tab and started to pay.

I told him that since I did the asking, it was up to me to do the paying. He refused my offer and said he was going to pay the bill, and he paid it.

Now my girlfriend told me I set the women’s movement back a year by not insisting that I pay the bill. I would have, but I didn’t want to cause a scene in the restaurant. What do you think? – Nameless, Orlando, Fla. Nameless: You offered to pay the bill, which is all that was necessary. Some guys just can’t get used to letting girls pay on a date. Trust me, the women’s movement was not damaged.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 15 and live with my parents. My 22-year-old sister lives in an apartment nearby with her 1-year-old daughter. She isn’t married, so my mother takes care of baby Lacey when she goes to work. It’s my job to take care of her when she goes out in the evening, which is usually twice a week. Lacey is the cutest and sweetest baby in the whole state of Mississippi and I love taking care of her.

My problem is that I don’t receive 1 cent for taking care of her. My sister has a decent job and can afford to pay me something. When I ask for money, she always pleads poverty, yet she smokes like a chimney and keeps white wine in her refrigerator.

I can’t refuse to babysit for her because my mother says Lacey is my niece and I should do it, but when it comes to earning money she always just says, “That’s between your sister and you.”

Don’t you think that my sister should find a way to pay me for taking care of little Lacey? I’d be happy with a dollar an hour. Besides sometimes I can’t take a paying job

Car of man’s dreams doesn’t please wife Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY am a successful business proJeanne fessional in my Phillips mid-50s.

I have put my children through college, and they have no student loans. (My wife did not help with any of the college expenses. It was all on me.)

I am finally at a point in my life that I can pursue my passion of buying a sports car. I have always been a car guy, and my wife knows it.

When I bring up the subject of purchasing the car of my dreams, which is not very expensive, she tells me I will look like an idiot. In her next breath she says it’s OK if I buy a sports car if it is the one she wants, and of course, the one she wants is very expensive.

No matter how I broach the subject, she does not “get” that it is not about her but about my passion as a car guy. How do I get her to see my side? – Revving Up in New

York Dear Revving Up: If it’s your money pay-

ing for the car, you don’t have to get her to see your side.

It will be yours – not hers – and you should buy the one that gives you pleasure and drive it to your heart’s content.

Dear Abby: I have been with “Roger” for 28 years. He is basically a good, honest man, but he thinks only of himself. When I had heart surgery, he left me alone at the hospital that night, not knowing if I would live or die. (Nothing would have kept me from HIS bedside!) I’ll be having knee surgery soon, and he won’t take the day off or a sick day to take me. He wants a friend of ours to do it.

These are just two samples of his lack of support for me. I guess there is no way to make someone care enough about you to put their conveniences aside. When we moved out of state, he said if he didn’t find a job, he was going back home. Well, where would that have left me?

Roger wouldn’t have anything at all if it weren’t for me. I know I should dump him, but after 28 years, I can’t pull the rug out from under him.

He cops an attitude and makes me feel bad if I press the subject. I only wish he would do something for me from his heart, but I guess it isn’t there. Any advice, Abby?

– His Last Priority in Florida Dear Last Priority: Yes, because you can’t

bring yourself to pull the rug out from under Roger, it might help you to memorize the Serenity Prayer when he disappoints you in the future.

It goes like this: “Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

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

ASK THE DOCTORS / ELIZABETH KO AND EVE GLAZIER Symptoms of postpartum depression mirror those of major depression.

These include a sad or empty feeling that won’t go away, feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness, pervasive pessimism, a change in sleeping or eating habits, withdrawal from loved ones, and often a lack of connection to or interest in the new baby.

Between 11 and 18 percent of new mothers experience postpartum depression. Fortunately, most women who seek treatment for postpartum depression will recover.

Meanwhile, there’s a lot that you can do to help your wife right now. Simply listening is important.

Get her to talk about how she’s feeling and what she’s going through so she knows that you care and understand. It’s quite likely you both have some of the same feelings, and sharing them can help build up your bond.

Help around the house without being asked. Make a meal, do housework, arrange for her to have some time to herself. Something as simple as getting outside can make a big difference. A daily walk will be good for both of you. Even a drive through the neighborhood just to look around can bring welcome distraction.

The baby blues are an isolating experience that comes at a time of life when women are told they should be happiest.

By stepping up to lend a hand, you’re not only helping your wife recover, you’re also setting the foundation to a parenting partnership.

Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health. Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and primary care physician at UCLA Health.

Dear Doctor: It’s been two weeks since our son was born, and my wife seems to be having a hard time. She cries easily and has a lot of anxiety. Is this just baby blues, like my mother says, or is it postpartum depression?

Dear Reader: Congratulations on welcoming a new baby! Your lives have undergone an enormous change, and that’s at the heart of your wife’s difficulties. Both in the short-term disruption of the so-called “baby blues” and the more serious struggle of postpartum depression, the physical, emotional and hormonal changes a woman goes through after she gives birth can often pose challenges.

First, let us reassure you that at two weeks postpartum, it’s perfectly natural for a new mother to feel overwhelmed. Up to 80 percent of new mothers report symptoms of mood swings, anxiety, mild depression, weepiness and negative thoughts or feelings in the first few weeks after the baby arrives.

Your wife’s body is not only recovering from the physical and emotional rigors of the birth process, but it is also now returning to its pre-pregnancy state.

That means she is experiencing a sudden drop in hormone levels – estrogen and progesterone in particular – which have been at record levels during her pregnancy.

Add in sleep deprivation and the seismic changes to her daily routine as she learns new tasks and takes responsibility for a new life, and it’s little surprise that she feels overwhelmed.

When these symptoms don’t go away after several weeks, or if they become more severe, then postpartum depression becomes a possibility. When this is the case, seeing a primary care physician is vital.

Peggy Cooper Cafritz sits in her art-filled Washington, D.C., condo. She moved into the $3.25 million property in 2011.

WASHINGTON – Peggy Cooper Cafritz, art patron, education advocate and Washington grande dame, knows what it’s like to live with art and to be forced to live without it.

She passionately prefers the former, and in recent years in an ultra-modern condominium in Dupont Circle has elevated the concept into something of an art in itself.

“I think it has a mark of home,” Cafritz, 67, said of the two-level apartment she has carved out in a steel-gray and glass building on embassy-lined Massachusetts Avenue NW. “You might say I live in an art gallery, and it could have been that, but it’s a home.”

Indeed, it’s a place where young folks – artists and others – are often stopping by to check on her, or bunking in a spare room for a night or weekend.

And as every homeowner knows – especially those who have built from ground zero – a home is an ongoing project.

With the interior furnished and filled with new contemporary artworks, “I am beginning very, very, very, very slowly to work on the balconies,” says the co-founder of the Duke Ellington School of the Arts and former president of D.C.’s school board.

Cafritz is a striking woman with trademark close-cropped hair delicately surrounding an oval face. On this August afternoon she’s wearing a graphic gray-and-white shirt, black pants and black-and-white lace-ups. The shoes are especially brilliant, the white blindingly so, the black a polished obsidian.

“I have always liked paintings more than I’ve liked Yves Saint Laurent dresses,” Cafritz said. “So my wardrobe pops are shoes and earrings.

Everything in between is a painting.”

This is Cafritz six years after the devastating fire that ravaged her eight-bedroom mansion in Washington, D.C., destroying the home she had helped design in the 1980s, when she was married to developer Conrad Cafritz. (They divorced in 1998.)

The 2009 fire consumed more than 300 pieces of African-American and African art, including works by giants such as Jacob Lawrence and Romare Bearden, destroying one of the country’s top private collections.

Peggy Cooper Cafritz’s home has a steel staircase railing with a leaf pattern by sculptor Jacqueline Maggi; on the wall hangs “Father I Cannot Tell a Lie” by William Villalongo.

“Reality Check,” a sculpture by Vanessa German on display in Peggy Cooper Cafritz’s living room. It is one of many irreverent pieces of social commentary in Cafritz’s collection. some pieces of art in themselves – as “eclectic with a mark of vintage from the ’30s to the ’50s.”

“I feel a commitment to the comfort of my guests and to the comfort of my eye,” she said. “It has to be what I like.

It doesn’t have to be expensive, and it doesn’t have to be inexpensive.”

She and Siskin scoured antiques shops, looked at designers’ works and visited stores such as Restoration Hardware, where she found her living room sofa.

The living room also includes a built-in stainless-steel bench with plush, deep gray cushions that runs the length of one wall, and two overstuffed chairs from the ’40s. Across the room are circular wooden benches – old seats from a ferryboat station in Hudson, New York – surrounding a Benjamin Rollins Caldwell computer-inspired coffee table, a riot of motherboard parts with a glass top.

Cafritz’s dining room table is art, too; its edges and legs drape like the delicate folds of a tablecloth. That’s because “Frozen Cloth Table,” by Deger Cengiz, is indeed a synthetic fiber cloth treated with an “epoxy matrix.”

The railings that line the two staircases leading to the second level are stunning leaf-patterned steel panels that also run along the upstairs hallway, as if wrapping the place in an embrace.

Cafritz hired Cuban-born artist Jacqueline Maggi, who teaches at Ellington, to create the panels.

“I was working with metal and liked the combination, as something that is feminine and soft that’s made

in a material that’s hard and sharp,” Maggi said. “In some way, it would connect her to nature and feel that the hard times have passed with the fire.”

Cafritz does her own curating, sometimes with the help of Maggi.

“It’s an exhibition design,” Maggi said. “It’s always changing because it’s always growing.”

Cafritz has put a few pieces in the building’s stairwell, and a colorful portrait of President Barack Obama – made of cereal – hangs in the lobby.

Other works are in storage, some ultimately bound for Ellington.

The bold, irreverent collection sizzles with social commentary and moments of sensuality. Artist Kristine Mays’s large black wire sculpture of a hoodie is mounted at the top of the staircase. Its title: “The Entanglement of Black Men in America.” Deana Lawson’s print “Otisha” – a nude woman posed on a couch – hangs on the wall of the rear staircase across from works of D.C.-born artist Iona Rozeal Brown. The shower in the master bath is enclosed by clear glass save for a large silhouette of a woman taking a shower, silhouetted heads of men flowing over her instead of water. The design is by Ellington alum Stanley Squirewell. Cafritz, who has always been a fierce supporter of emerging artists, also has the work of a few other alumni, among them a sculpture of NBA players’ arms by Hank Willis

Cafritz took her time rebuilding a home and reconstructing her life. She sued the D.C. Water and Sewer Authority for $30 million after firefighters said poor water pressure hindered their ability to extinguish the blaze, settling last year for an undisclosed amount.

She viewed 100 sites in a year or so before moving into the $3.25 million condo in November 2011. Besides its prime location, Cafritz chose the space for what it had – plenty of room – and for what it didn’t. There was nothing there, she says, but concrete and windows.

“It was a shell, so it had to be built out completely,” said Cafritz, who worked with Georgetown architect Calvert Bowie and designer and close friend Paul Siskin, based in New York.

Wall space for art was a priority in her 4,000-plus-square-foot apartment, with its five bedrooms and 4.5 baths.

She bought her first piece of new art not long after the fire, in late 2009 or early 2010, she said. MacArthur “genius” award winner Kerry James Marshall’s drawing of a no-nonsense woman now hangs over a chair made of dominoes in a room with a black baby grand piano (see cover).

“The woman is a powerful image,” Cafritz said. “It’s an innate power as opposed to a position of power, and it’s something that I think all women have the right to possess.”

The apartment was made by joining two units. The wall space was increased by installing sliding panels against some of the walls, providing a way of changing what’s on view. Storage is located behind some panels.

“What is unusual [for a Washington high-end apartment] is the industrial aesthetic and the amount of great art,” Bowie, of Bowie Gridley Architects, wrote in an email.

Some walls are plaster, some concrete, and all are painted gallery white.

The floors are a polished concrete, and Cafritz left the industrial pipes exposed. She also made sure her bedroom overlooks Massachusetts Avenue.

The project, which took about four months, is a radical departure from her former home.

“I decided that I could never really go back home, so I wanted [the condo] to be completely different,” Cafritz said.

Elevator doors open into Cafritz’s entryway, immediately depositing a visitor into an ocean of art. Go right and you’re headed down an art-lined hallway that leads to the domino chair and the Marshall drawing. Go left and an expansive living room opens up, where work hangs from ceilings and sculptures rise from coffee tables.

Rugs that explode with color or bask in delicately woven earth tones swim beneath your feet throughout.

Cafritz describes the furnishings –

Painting the front door can boost curb appeal

By JURA KONCIUS The Washington Post Your front door is like your calling card to the world. Its color reflects your personality and gives a hint of your style.

So the quickest and most economical way to make over the front of your house is to paint that door a glossy new color.

Sure, you could go with traditional but boring black, white or red. But why not choose something that will make your place stand out from the crowd?

“Painting your front door is a fast and easy way to upgrade and freshen up curb appeal. All you need is a quart of paint and a brush,” said Jill Waage, executive editor of the Better Homes and Gardens brand. She said many consumers are choosing colors for their doors that are different from the walls, trim or shutters. “This speaks to the personalization that people are doing all over their homes right now,” she said.

In a survey, about 48 percent of Better Homes and Gardens readers said their front door is painted a color other than white, black or a wood finish.

On its website, Benjamin Moore

warns DIY painters to check the weather forecast before painting anything on the exterior of a house. The company’s advice: Don’t paint when the temperature drops below 50 degrees, and avoid painting when rain is in the forecast, as that could ruin your finish.

We asked some designers and bloggers which front door color they love.

Many suggested choosing a high-gloss finish. Here are edited excerpts of their responses.

Designer Stuart Nordin of Alexandria, Va.: Magenta by Benjamin Moore: “I don’t

usually care for a crazy color because I think you can get sick of it quickly, but recently a client and I decided to go for a deep magenta, and it turned out beautifully. It’s close to red but more fun and playful without being too trendy.”

Designer Shazalynn Cavin-Winfrey of Alexandria, Va.: Basil Green by Benjamin Moore: “This is the color of my office

front door and goes with virtually every exterior color. Green identifies with harmony and growth. I like to think every entry should invite both

Boston designer Erin Gates, blogger at Elements of Style: Wasabi by Benjamin Moore: “This is a wonderful char-

treuse that looks incredible on my white house with black shutters. It also makes brass hardware absolutely sing.”

New York designer Alexa Hampton: Chase Green from Darryl Carter Colors for Benjamin Moore: “It’s traditional

Better Homes and Gardens East Coast editor and blogger Eddie Ross: A Cappella by C2 Paint: “I’m really lov-

ABOVE: In Peggy Cooper Cafritz’s home, even the dining room table is a work of art: Deger Cengiz’s “Frozen Cloth Table” is made of a synthetic fiber cloth treated with an “epoxy matrix.”

Continued from page 47 Thomas, who “is having a fabulous career.” He also did the Obama piece in the lobby.

“It really has to clench my gut,” Cafritz said of work she buys. “And it has to speak to me, and even if it’s art that may have a specific message, it has to be beautiful to me.”

Her style is singular, Siskin said.

“When you walk through the place there’s no question who lives there.”

“I’ve gone through periods of collecting different genres of art, and I think that I found my home, a home for my passion ... in contemporary art,” Cafritz said. “I think I found some political expression there. I found a reaching beyond the edges of art there. I have always had an affinity for reaching beyond the edges, in life as well as art.”

That life, lived in bold strokes, has been measured by “tragedy and triumph,” as Cafritz often noted. After years of rebuilding and just as she had found herself emerging from the fire’s tailspin – “I try not to dwell on

it, though there are times I will be looking for something and have to say, ‘Oh, that was lost in the fire.’” – she was hit with a wave of new loss: three deaths in eight months.

Close friend John Payne, Ellington’s principal, died in October of a heart at-

tack; Jay Cooper (her nephew who was 34 and running for the D.C. council) died in December, also of a heart attack; and in May, her younger brother, Mario Cooper, 61, an AIDS activist, died.

In April, Cafritz, who suffers from chronic back pain, had surgery, her

third. She spent weeks in a rehab facility, returning home in June to more weeks of in-home physical therapy.

“I’ve been sick, but I’m well now,” she said, smiling. “You can tell them that.”

And the balconies are waiting.

A design expert on color, countertops and more

By JURA KONCIUS

LEFT: Bedrooms should be a place to recharge, designer Paloma Contreras says, so she prefers neutral colors.

She designed this room for a Houston client.

The Washington Post Paloma Contreras, an interior design blogger based in Houston joined Washington Post staff writer Jura Koncius on a recent Home Front online chat. Here is an edited excerpt.

Koncius: Do you think it’s better to have all-white or color towels in a bathroom?

Contreras: I prefer white towels in

Max Burkhalter For The Washington Post

bathrooms. They look more crisp and classic than any other color. There also seems to be an element of luxury.

If the upkeep of white towels is not appealing to you, I would recommend that you stick with a neutral color, such as a gray or tan. Generally, lighter colors look better. To be honest, I don’t like the look of dark, bold, colored towels at all.

Koncius: What’s your best tip for storing multiple rolls of toilet paper in the bathroom? from conventions). I’d like a professional Contreras: If you have room under look with a little personality and can the sink, they should preferably be achieve that only with accessories on concealed. Otherwise, a seagrass or natural-fiber basket tucked behind the my desk, shelves and walls. Nothing too toilet is a good option for storing extra cutesy, but a touch of fun would be nice.

Contreras: I would buy a few nice, rolls of toilet paper.

Koncius: What’s best for a warm, Colonial look: carpet, wood, a combo or something else?

Contreras: My advice would be to

opt for wood, which is more authentic to Colonial architecture. It is also timeless and can be refinished, as opposed to carpet, which will eventually need to be replaced. I prefer to limit the number of flooring choices in the living areas so that things look and feel cohesive as opposed to having tile in the entry, wood in the dining room, carpet in the living room and so on.

Koncius: What paint colors do you find the most restful for a bedroom? Any specific recommendations?

Contreras: I tend to favor neutral

colors in bedrooms. As much as I love a bold-colored wall in other areas of the home, your bedroom should be the place where you go to rest and recharge. One of my favorite neutral paint colors is a lovely gray with warm undertones called Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore. It is universally flattering and pairs beautifully with just about any color palette.

Koncius: Do you have any suggestions on where to look for ideas on decorating a corporate office? I’d like to upgrade my decorating, which right now is haphazard. My only artwork is my daughter’s drawings, and everything else is largely functional or too cute (freebie desk toys

silver picture frames to hold pictures of your family. They’ll add a personal touch to your desk area. I would also recommend getting a nice desk blotter and desk accessories that match, so that the space looks polished and complete. Leather desk accessories, a personalized tray or coaster and a few well-chosen mementos are a nice way of adding a personal touch to an otherwise corporate space.

Koncius: I’m considering a minor update of a small main-floor bath. It has white ceramic floor tile. I’d really like to add a white vanity, but would that be too much?

Contreras: You can’t go wrong with

a traditional drapery showroom. We usually have our orders filled within a few weeks.

Koncius: We did quite a bit of remodeling this year and used warm grays on walls, countertops, tiles, etc. A little late to be asking, but is gray going to look dated in the near future?

Contreras: I know that gray has

been a very trendy color for the past few years. Although I prefer to shy away from trends because they look dated so soon and don’t have a personal element, I do think gray is the exception. Although it is popular now, it is also a classic, neutral color that will never go out of style, in my humble opinion.

Koncius: We just moved back into our four-bedroom Colonial home after renting it for two years. We were planning to update our kitchen when we moved back in, but now we need to replace all the all white! It is crisp, classic and timecarpets and redo the two full bathrooms. less.

I like the look of Pottery Barn Kids’ Harper finish for the pre-finished 3 1/4-inch wood floors. Do you think this will still be shade, but it doesn’t come in the right size for our windows. I thought someone in fashion in 10 years?

Contreras: That size and style are might be able to create something similar classic and completely appropriate for us. Do you know of a vendor that for a Colonial home.

wood, I would say that would definitely look dated in 10 years, because it is trendy now. Basically, anything that you see repeatedly done in new construction should generally be avoided because it will become dated rather quickly. Worry not! Your choice is

completely classic and will stand the test of time.

Koncius: We have a traditional, redbrick, white-mantel, wood-burning fireplace in our living room. We’ve recently had it cleaned and re-pointed and want to purchase a new fire screen, but I’ve been told polished brass is old-school. What do you think?

Contreras: Brass is certainly a classic material, but polished brass has become dated. My suggestion is that you have the brass refinished to go from polished and lacquered to more of an aged finish with some patina and less shine. First, be sure to check that the surround is actually made from solid brass. Oftentimes, things can be labeled as brass when they are, in fact, just plated steel. If that is the case, you can cause some corrosion in the refinishing process, so it is important to be sure. If it is in fact brass, you’ll love the new, updated look. We recently had a custom, aged-brass fireplace surround created for a client, and it is a true showstopper!

Koncius: My friend used heated travertine tiles in her bathroom and loved it.

Would you recommend this or something else for the bathroom floor? I need to redo both the master bath and hallway (kids’) bath.

Contreras: Travertine is porous and brittle, so you should be aware of that. It was also considered trendy in the late ’90s and 2000s, so it isn’t a material that I use in my work. Limestone is a good alternative that is also a nice, neutral color and works with radiant heat but feels more timeless than travertine.

Meet little Jumble.

He was brought in as a stray and approx. 7 years young. Jumble is sweet as a slice of pecan pie!

Tiny as he is, his heart is as big as the moon. He just loves to be held, but yet he has some spunk.

Once you meet this little guy, you will fall in love with him just like the staff and volunteers have.

He just loves to attention and to be around people.

He is a very tiny dog and he would need a family that will be gentle with him. He would love nothing more than being in a home that will just let him be a lap dog or be held all day.

He is a snuggler for sure. Jumble is dog selective and may do better with another dog his size or in a single dog household.

He is fully vetted and adoptable at Kendall County Animal Control. Adoption fee is just $120.

For more information on Jumble or our other adoptable pets please call -

630-553-9256, email: animals@co.kendall.il.us Or Visit Kendall County Animal Control: 802 W. John Street Yorkville, IL.

Jean Nidetch, a co-founder of Weight Watchers, said, “It’s choice -- not chance -- that determines your destiny.”

That is not always true at the bridge table. Sometimes, as we have seen over the last few days, you make your choice for a line of play, and it is up to chance whether it works or not -- unless it has a probability of 100 percent.

Does declarer have a guaranteed line in today’s deal, or must he choose the approach that is mathematically most likely to work?

West leads a low heart against South’s six-spade contract. What should declarer do?

North blasted straight into Blackwood, eventually putting his partner into six spades when he learned that two kings were missing.

South starts with 11 winners: six spades, one heart, three diamonds and one club. There are two obvious chances to make this small slam: Either the heart or club finesse works.

But there is a third line; do you see it?

If East has the heart king, the slam is laydown with an endplay. Declarer wins with dummy’s heart ace, draws trumps, cashes his diamond winners and exits with a heart. Assuming East takes that trick, he must either lead a club around to the dummy or concede a ruff-and-sluff (South sluffs a club from his hand and ruffs on the board). Note also that if West does produce the heart king, the club finesse is still available.

Finally, yes, it would have been simpler if North had signed off in six no-trump. North has 12 tricks after taking the club finesse, even if it loses.
