Waubonsee Community College hosts a grand-opening ceremony March 10 for the Sugar Grove school’s new field house. million project as the final piece of its 2020 master plan, adding it was completed five years early and within its budget.

Scott Peska, Waubonsee’s dean of students, said he was “overjoyed” to see the facility used by the school’s athletes.

He called it a “state-of-the-art” building.

Waubonsee’s president, Christine Sobek, introduced a video showing the highlights of the 2020 plan, calling it “an

amazing and wonderful journey.”

Brochures touted the other projects that were part of the 2020 plan, including Waubonsee’s Aurora campus, its Plano campus, the student center, the academic and professional center, the science building and the campus operations building.

As part of the field house project, Erickson Hall underwent renovations, including an athletic team workout

“I imagined it for 20 years,” he said. “It’s really nice to see it slowly work its way to this point.

It’s nice to be at this point.”

Waubonsee was celebrating March 10, and the event featured speakers who took turns talking about the project on a large stage set up on the middle court. The school’s athletes gathered, along with elected officials, other students, interested residents and more. Waubonsee officials touted the $19

room, improved locker rooms and a remodeled athletic study hall. The field house provides entirely new amenities.

Waubonsee athletes stood by during the ceremony. Soccer player Haley Kilbride said the building will be a big help to incoming freshmen.

“We would have had a lot more training,” she said.

Nora Castro, another soccer player, said it especially will improve training opportunities when the sports are out of season.

Randall echoed that, saying it will allow athletes and teams to train throughout the year. He said some community sports groups, such as youth soccer, softball, volleyball, baseball or basketball teams, can rent out the facilities. And it will be an impressive sight for recruits, he said, featuring “a professional look.” He said that could be important.

“If you are recruiting good athletes, it means that a lot of other schools are recruiting them, too,” he said.

KAN • Thursday, March 19, 2015 • KCChronicle.com • The Republican

SUGAR GROVE – Dave Randall on the afternoon of March 10 looked across an area featuring three athletic training areas, including one covered in turf and marked for a soccer field. Above the courts, there is a suspended running track.

Those are among the key features of the new Waubonsee Community College Field House, which also offers athletic offices, a fitness and dance studio and more.

The area was decorated with black, red and white balloons, as school officials celebrated the occasion. At the same time, officials rededicated Erickson Hall, the college’s competition facility, which is attached to the field house.

The Erickson project included significant renovations.

Randall has been at Waubonsee since 1978, and he is the former baseball coach. He said the improvements will be a big help for athletes and coaches.

The field house will allow more practices, even in inclement weather, and it will provide more opportunities for different sports to train at the same time. Also, he said it would be an attractive recruiting tool.

Asked if he could imagine such a facility when he first started, Randall said he could.

“Uveitis” is inflammation of the middle layer of the eye, called the “uvea,” which includes the iris (the colored portion of the eye); the ciliary body (which produces fluid, aqueous humor, inside the eye); and the choroid (which provides nutrition to the retina).

While the most common type of uveitis involves inflammation of the iris called “iritis” (anterior uveitis), there are many types of uveitis, each of which is classified by where the inflammation occurs in the eye. Causes of this eye inflammation often remain unknown and often occur in healthy people.

In other cases, an underlying autoimmune disorder or infection may be the cause. Symptoms, which include blurred vision, floaters, and eye pain, warrant an immediate eye exam.

P.S. If left untreated, severe cases of uveitis can potentially lead to cataracts, fluid in the retina, glaucoma, retinal detachment, or vision loss.

Geneva boy aims to raise $10K for charity

By BRENDA SCHORY

bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Max Washington is a boy on a mission to raise $10,000 by Wednesday, March 25.

If he can do it, Michael Olesen, the owner of Stockholm’s in Geneva, will shave his head.

Max had raised $2,000 as of the afternoon of March 13 to

meet Olesen’s challenge, all part of fundraising through St. Baldrick’s Foundation for childhood cancer research.

Although he’s only 11 years old, this is Max’s seventh year of fundraising and getting his head shaved, said his mother, Jennifer Washington.

“He started when he was 4,” she said. “My brother-inlaw was on a team that shaved their heads, and Max wanted

to do it. That is how he got on the team.”

A fifth-grader at St. Peter Catholic School, Max has raised more than $9,000 in the seven years he has participated in the fundraiser, she said.

“He goes door to door in our neighborhood and store to store in downtown Geneva,” Jennifer Washington said. “He emails friends and family, and they make an announcement

at school every year.”

This year, his head will be shaved at a St. Baldrick’s event Friday, March 20, at a Naperville hotel, where the team, Naperville Public Service, is based, Jennifer Washington said “It does not bother him to be bald,” she said. “He is so happy to do it.”

Max gets a haircut in the fall, and then nobody touches his hair until the shaving, she said.

Max said he remembers the first time his head was shaved.

“It was weird. It got really cold,” Max said. “I wear a hat outside. The kids at school are used to me being bald. It’s not itchy when the hair grows back; it just feels fine.”

Max’s $10,000 fundraising challenge continues until March 25, when Stockholm’s, 306 W. State St., Geneva, will donate 10 percent of that day’s sales to Max’s tally for St. Baldrick’s.

If Max hits $10,000, Olesen said he would have a “scalping party” that night with shaving services provided by Focas Salon in St. Charles. Olesen said he has supported Max’s St. Baldrick’s efforts since 2011

“Donnie Loves Jenny” follows McCarthy and Wahlberg from their wedding at the Hotel Baker in St. Charles in August 2014 through their lives as newlyweds.

The episode revolves around Wahlberg planning a McCarthy family reunion at the Hotel Baker. McCarthy, who was raised in the Chicago area, tells Wahlberg about her desire to move back to the area. She had previously rented a house in Geneva.

“I want to come back,” McCarthy tells Wahlberg. “I miss it so much.”

It is revealed during the episode that Wahlberg made an offer on a house in St. Charles.

Later in the episode, McCarthy is heard saying, “He got the house.”

McCarthy’s publicist could

not be reached for comment on whether the couple actually bought the house.

Toward the end of the episode, McCarthy expressed her happiness about moving back to the area.

“We’ve had so many memories in this town,” she said.

“Now we get to make a lifetime full of them.”

McCarthy will bring her “Dirty Sexy Funny” comedy show June 13 to the Arcada Theatre, 105 E. Main St., St. Charles.

The show starts at 8 p.m., and tickets are available by going to the Arcada Theatre’s website, www.oshows.com.

According to a news release from the Arcada Theatre, this is the first appearance at the venue for the “hometown St. Charles girl.”

And they’re off! Usually reserved for the start of horse races, those same words will announce the beginning of the first Shotgun Scramble on Saturday, April 4, at Pottawatomie Golf Course. Part race to the finish, part race for the prize, the Shotgun Scramble is all about having a good time on a great course.

As one of the first tournaments of the 2015 season, the Shotgun Scramble is an ideal time to get a group together and enjoy a morning’s round of golf. Regardless of skill level, husbands and wives, grandparents and grandkids, new neighbors and old friends can form a team and work together to get a good score. A Shotgun Scramble group may be comprised of two, three or four people.

“The goal is to create the group you want to play golf with, not necessarily the group you always play golf with” said Ron Skubisz, golf course manager and PGA golf pro. “We want to make it more all-inclusive and much more of a family event.”

Here’s how the Shotgun

Scramble works: After enjoying a complimentary continental breakfast at 7 a.m., all players will be escorted to their respective holes and everyone will start at the same time, 7:30 a.m. – hence, the term “shotgun.” (Although no actual firearms will be used in the starting of the event).

Everyone in a group will hit their first tee shot and then collectively look for the best shot from their group. This is the “scramble” part. The rest of the group then moves their ball to that position and everyone hits again. And so on.

“You do that all the way through, and in that way the player who may be only an occasional golfer still has as good a chance as anyone for winning the hole,” Skubisz said.

naments scheduled throughout the year include the Age 50+ Tournament on Saturday, April 25, and Sunday, April 26; the Little Guys and Gals Tournament on July 14; the

Junior Tournament on July 15 and 16; the Men’s Tournament on July 18 and 26; and another new event this season, the 36Hole Stroke Play Tournament on September 12 and 13.

“The 36-Hole Stroke Play Tournament will be a great competitive event,” Skubisz said. “My hope is that we have a final group that includes men and women, senior and

junior players.”

Talk about leveling out the playing field. Once every group has finished playing their nine holes and the scores are posted, a small awards ceremony will take place.

Prizes will be awarded to the first-, fifth-, 10th- and 15thplace teams.

Registration for the spring Shotgun Scramble is open to all participants, regardless of their residency. The price is $100 per group of up to four players. Each group will have the use of one riding cart at no extra cost and may reserve the use of another cart for a small fee. Registration must be done in person at Pottawatomie Golf Course, with the tournament deadline of Sunday, March 29. The event allows for a minimum of eight groups and a maximum of 16.

As a family-friendly event, the Shotgun Scramble can open up the world of golf to new or casual players who may not have a wealth of past experience playing in a competitive environment.

Long perceived as a sport that encourages individual rather than team play, in reality, golf can be pursued by any one at any time, regardless of age or gender.

“We provide a home for a lot of the groups that the industry as a whole doesn’t always pay attention to – women players, juniors, seniors,” Skubisz said. “Pottawatomie is a haven for that clientele.

It’s a course that is friendly to them.”

Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., Pottawatomie has been ranked as the 15th-best nine-hole golf course in America by Golf World Magazine. A certified Audubon sanctuary, its picturesque natural setting along the banks of the Fox River makes it one of the most beautiful courses in the Fox Valley.

“What better environment to learn the game or enjoy the game with family and friends?” Skubisz said.

And the spring Shotgun Scramble is just the first in a season of great golf events.

Skubisz will be conducting both basic and advanced Junior Golf Clinics starting in June, as well as offering both individual and group lessons all season long. Men’s and women’s league play begins in May, offering the benefits of regular tee times and sociable competition. Additional tour-

The average full kitchen remodel is defined as: “Update an outmoded 200-square-foot kitchen with a functional layout of 30 linear feet of semi-custom wood cabinets, including a three-by-five-foot island; laminate countertops; and standard double-tub stainless-steel sink with standard single-lever faucet. Include energy-efficient wall oven, cooktop, ventilation system, built-in microwave, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and custom lighting.

Add new resilient flooring. Finish with painted walls, trim, and ceiling.”

Remodeling magazine also reports that a major kitchen remodel returns an average of $40,732. My average kitchen remodel usually comes in at less than half this national average cost.

• REMODEL

Continued from page 16 When you start talking to contractors and designers you may find additional work is required.

That’s OK. It’s easy to update your list and resend to all the bidding contractors. Otherwise, the various contractors will list the items they believe you want, and it will be difficult to compare bids. A basic scope of work also eliminates some guess work by the contractor.

Ask your contractors to line item their bids as you’ve categorized the items. This, too, will help you compare costs and refine your plan.

• Try to select the materials yourself. Asking a contractor to supply big-ticket items such as flooring, cabinets, countertops and appliances leaves them with a huge range to guess on and there is a chance you’ll end up paying the contractor an additional fee on top of the supplied costs.

A lot of money can be saved in a kitchen remodel by shopping around on your big-ticket items.

I’ve not been able to save much money on things like paint and light fixtures. So I focus on my cabinets, countertops, appliances and flooring.

• Don’t select cabinets based on name brands. Cabinets are a huge expense. There can easily

be a $15,000 difference between various designs and manufacturers for 30 linear feet of semi-custom cabinets. Taking some time to select a good quality cabinet can save a lot of money.

I’ve never seen a home buyer ask for the name brand of cabinets in a home. You can get a very good cabinet for a fraction of the cost of some of the bigname manufacturers.

You should look for cabinet boxes made of furniture-grade plywood. Doors and drawer fronts should be made from a solid wood frame surrounding a panel and I prefer a solid wood panel. Furniture grade plywood panels are OK as long as they looks good but avoid laminated particle board.

Drawers should be constructed of solid wood with dovetail joinery and a plywood bottom that is tightly fitted into a groove in the side of the drawer. I also look for a good slide and soft-close feature. Shelves should be made of at least half inch furniture grade plywood.

If you ensure your cabinets have these features then the name on them doesn’t really matter. Most cabinet makers will provide similar warranties anyway. Check with your supplier.

Wood species and design have a major impact on price. Often you can get the desired look but save money by going with a little simpler design and different

wood. Most all cabinets are made of a hardwood so they will be durable.

• Choose the countertop wisely. Countertops also range widely in price. My top of choice is granite. Countertops are one of the first things people notice in your kitchen. Particle board wrapped in Formica or other laminate is almost always a turn off to potential buyers. When selecting granite, first choose the color you want, dark or light.

Price will often be determined by what your supplier has available.

Granite is granite so there is no significant quality difference in the stone. You can easily pick a $20-a-square-foot granite and get the same look as a $45-a-square-foot granite.

Watch the installation costs.

When it comes to granite, the supplier will almost always do the install. I’ve found that some suppliers advertise really cheap per square foot costs but then they jack up the installation costs. Make sure you get a full bid from the various suppliers you visit. You might find the shop that advertised $20 granite is actually more expensive than the shop that’s selling a $30 granite.

When it comes to cabinets and countertops, try going to one of the many small local suppliers. Shopping around with these shops can often save you thousands versus what you’ll pay

at the big home-improvement stores. And you are much more likely to be dealing with just one person rather than whomever happens to be on duty on a given day at a big retailer. I also find that many of the small shops can deliver in half the time required by the big retailers.

• Low-priced flooring may be just as good as the costly kind.

Tile and hardwood can easily range in costs from $1 a square foot to $15 a square foot or more. I find that I can get a very good look in a home with a $2or $3-a-square-foot tile.

For tile, I normally go to the big home improvement stores. Big retailers normally have the best price on tile but their selection is limited. Avoid using real stone if you’re cost conscious. The material is more expensive and it’s usually tougher to install and your contractor should charge you more for installation. If he doesn’t charge you more, there’s a good chance he’s not very experienced with it and you may end up with quality problems. I prefer a simple and clean look anyway. Granite or marble tile can look out of place if not installed correctly and properly incorporated into an overall design.

Good prices on hardwood can be found at one of the surplus or overstock warehouses. This may take some time because you never know what they may have in supply at any given visit. If you can use an overstock item you can save thousands in material.

This may require you to start watching months in advance of your project. I once purchased 2,000 square feet of solid maple wood flooring and rented a storage unit to keep it until I had a project ready.

• Go for midgrade name brand appliances. Appraisers

and buyers rarely value top-ofthe line appliances at anything close to their purchase price.

Appliances are sold a bit like cars. There are appliance sales people in almost every big box store. Make contact with several sales people. Get their cards and see if they’ll call or text you when they’re having sales. This is what I do. I buy packages of appliances well before I’m ready for them when I have upcoming projects.

These retailers have also been willing to hold my appliances for months until I’m ready for delivery.

• Do your homework to find the right contractor. Knowing your rough layout, desired materials, and armed with a scope of work, you can begin getting bids. Dealing with contractors can be a daunting task. Check your jurisdiction’s website to find good tips for researching your contractor and items that need to be in a construction contract.

Make sure you get four or five bids. Be wary of any bid that is too cheap or too expensive.

Have contractors line item their bids and closely compare the items. If one of the items varies greatly in price from bid to bid then you may not have properly explained your needs.

Getting the best price on labor is not always about just finding the right contractor. It’s about finding the right contractor at the right time. If a contractor happens to be busy he’ll probably still give you a price but he probably won’t give you the best price. So always get multiple bids from reputable contractors.

If you have a choice, try timing your project after the holiday rush but before the spring thaw. This is typically contractors’ slowest time of the year and they’ll appreciate having indoor work. adno=0299895

When buying a first home, most people are making one of the biggest purchases of their lives. Without home buying experience, it’s hard to separate fact from fiction.

“Buying a first home can be exciting and stressful for most young buyers, especially the financing process,” says Clete Thompson, vice president at imortgage, a division of loanDepot LLC. “There’s a lot of paperwork, many choices, and sometimes budgets don’t stretch very far. Our licensed loan officers specialize in helping first-time buyers navigate the home finance process, which can be stressful if you’re not working with a seasoned professional.”

To help first-time buyers, the experts at imortgage are uncovering prevalent myths about financing a home purchase:

Springtime is the prime time to get the house in order. Whether you’re looking to make a first-time purchase, refresh an existing home or simply leverage built-up equity for other reasons, it’s important to figure out which path is right for you.

First-time home buyers have an excellent opportunity to make their move now, as interest rates remain historically low.

First, buyers must start with determining what is affordable. In addition to the mortgage payment, housing costs will include property taxes, homeowners insurance and fees, such as homeowner association dues. Altogether, costs should be no more than 28 percent of monthly gross income and should leave room to continue servicing other debt, such as student loans, credit cards or auto loans.

When preparing to buy a home, work through credit pre-approval to be ready with a strong offer when the opportunity arises. In addition to reviewing credit history, a loan originator will consider the amount of the down payment. A down payment typically ranges from 3 to 20 percent, and one that is less than 20 percent may require you to purchase mortgage insurance. A mortgage originator, however, can provide a variety of lending options to optimize an investment, from 15- and 30-year mortgages to fixed and variable terms.

If the change in seasons is prompting an urge to make some improvements to a much-loved residence, consider financing the updates through a home equity line of credit. Eligibility depends on how much equity has been built up in the home and the lender’s loan-to-value ratio. A HELOC works much like a credit card and offers flexibility. A minimum amount is paid monthly, and interest applies to the amount borrowed.

Remember to consult a professional for advice applicable to your specific situation.

Wine for sale is seen at Geneva Wine Cellars and Tasting Room in downtown Geneva.

Educating the customer about wine Geneva Wine Cellars provides wine tastings, live music

By ERIC SCHELKOPF

eschelkopf@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Geneva Wine Cellars and Tasting Room owner Al Buchanan is particular about what kind of wine he will sell.

Every week, he will sit down and sample an average of 30 different wines to determine whether they live up to his standards.

“I am interested in the aromas from the glass and the taste on the palette,” Buchanan said.

Tucked away in The Berry House at 227 S. Third St. in downtown Geneva, Geneva Wine Cellars and Tasting Room is an outgrowth of Buchanan’s 30-year interest in wine. He opened the store in June 2013.

More than just a wine store, Geneva Wine Cellars and Tasting Room also is a wine bar and live music venue. Wine is sold by the glass, bottle and case.

Those who walk down the steps into Geneva Wine Cellars will find plenty of wine to choose from.

“We have several hundred different wines,” Buchanan said.

“All the wines are organized geographically by where the grapes are grown. There are basically two ways you can think about wine. One, what grape variety goes into that wine, and the other way to think about wine is where are the grapes grown in the world. And each of those two factors, the type of grape and where it’s grown, contribute to what the wine is as a whole.”

Although Buchanan believes there is a strong correlation between price and quality, he said purchasing a bottle of wine doesn’t have to break your

wallet.

“My $10 bottles don’t come close to the quality of my $200 bottles,” Buchanan said. “With that said, there are a lot of $200 bottles that I consider overpriced, so I look for value. There are a lot of $30 bottles that I think are overpriced. They are perfectly good wines, but there are wines that I would think ought to be selling for $15 or $20, not $30.”

Buchanan believes that knowledgeable customers are the best kind of customers to have. For that reason, the store earlier this month held a seminar on how to understand French wine labels.

Buchanan said he enjoys educating his customers. The store tries to do several seminars per year.

“I have a lot of knowledge about wine, and I enjoy sharing it with people who are interested in wine,” he said. “That, to me, is rewarding.”

At the same time, Buchanan said he doesn’t try to force his personal experiences on his customers.

“I recognize that people have different preferences in wine,” Buchanan said. “Some people like sweeter wines; some people like drier wines. Some people like higher acidity; some people like lower acidity.”

Geneva Wine Cellars and Tasting Room also likes to partner with other local businesses.

For example, the store sells

“Wine is better with food, and food is better with wine,” Buchanan said.

Josef’s meats and deli offers Geneva touch of Italy

GENEVA – Josef’s Elegante Meats and Deli is a family affair.

Married couple Pat and Nanette Falcone own the business, which operates as a butcher shop, gourmet deli and caterer.

The couple employs multiple family members and even named the shop after each of their fathers, who also worked as butchers.

A slew of sandwich offerings make Josef’s a prime location for the lunching crowd. It’s also a one-stop shop for those looking for a fine Italian dinner to cook at home. More than 50 types of homemade pastas are available for purchase, as well as “heat and eat,” ready-to-go meals, such as veggie or meat lasagna, eggplant Parmesan (a specialty) and meatballs, according to Josef’s menu.

In the summer on Saturdays, a grill is rolled into the parking lot for a blacktop barbecue.

Josef’s staff members flip preservative-free, 12-ounce, stuffed burgers, made using pure sirloin that is stuffed with bacon, cheddar and onion or jalapeño and cheese.

I was told by a staff member that “people come from all over” to savor the succulence.

Visiting the intimate butcher

Josef’s Elegante Meats and Deli in Geneva is a butcher shop, caterer and gourmet deli that serves hot oven-grinder sandwiches (pictured) and other items. shop for lunch at the tail-end of winter, hot oven-grinder sandwiches were what we were after.

Upon entering the shop, we claimed one of the few café-style tables grouped in the center of the room.

Ravioli, tortellini and gnocchi were a few among the many pasta options lining the shelves of the refrigerated food section.

If ever I was expected to “make” a home-cooked, authentic Italian dinner for out-of-town guests, family, friends or my spouse for a special occasion, I can skip out on prep time by taking a trip to Josef’s, boil-

ing some water and presto! A “home-cooked” Italian dinner for two, four or more is ready for service. (A crucial part of that plan, of course, it to get rid of the containers and make a bit of a mess in the kitchen to keep up appearances.)

My dining companion opted to order the Oven Grinder, a hot, oven-roasted sandwich, but Josef’s also serves sub-like sandwiches served on nine-inch French rolls. I chose the Santa Fe sandwich, and for 75 cents apiece we ordered the macaroni salad and the very popular, old-fashioned potato salad. The shop boasts serving more than

15 different salads every day.

Boar’s Head luncheon meats, cheeses and condiments are used in Josef’s sandwiches.

Daily sandwich specials include the Italian or cheesy-beef sandwich with melted mozzarella on Tuesdays; the barbecue pork or chicken Parmesan sandwich on Wednesdays; the Stromboli Italian sausage with peppers sandwich on Thursdays; and the Meatball sandwich on Fridays. The list of available deli meats is a long one, so customers have ample options to create their own sandwich concoction, as well; just ask.

The gargantuan sandwiches, which nearly busted from the seams with toppings, were served rolled in tin foil. It may behoove diners to share a sandwich or expect to take leftovers home.

The Oven Grinder was my favorite, while my dining companion preferred the Santa Fe, funnily enough. Juicy cuts of roast beef and Italian salami took center stage with the Oven Grinder, which also came layered with mayo, vinaigrette dressing, lettuce, tomato, onion, sweet roasted peppers and a generous portion of melted provolone cheese.

The Santa Fe came with Sausalito turkey breast – which was sun-dried-tomato and jalapeño-roasted – mayo, lettuce, sweet red peppers and jalapeño Jack cheese.

If you haven’t visited Josef’s Elegante Meats and Deli yet, put it on your list. The multi-purpose shop has been dazzling locals with a touch of Italy since 1998, and truly good things tend to stick around.

‘Climate Crisis’ series to raise awareness of environmental issues

By KARA SILVA

ksilva@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Acrylics, oil paints and water colors are commonly-used materials in creating art. But artist and activist Mary Ellen Croteau works with bottle caps and plastic bags.

Through pieces such as “Alicia” – a 29-by-30-inch depiction of an eye, created using bottle caps – and “Bag Coral” – a coral reef sculpture crocheted out of plastic bags – the Chicago-based sculptor and installation artist uses non-recycled plastic to bring attention to the amount of trash people consume and the effects it has on the environment.

“I would hope that my artwork does not make people think, ‘Oh, this is something

“It is always a very exciting and very inspired evening, and it really connects with the community; that’s really what Water Street is all about.”

Jim Jenkins Artist

we can do with bottle caps,’ and that’s the end of it. I really hope that it spurs people to think about the excess plastic that we have taken into our lives,” Croteau said. “Things like this point to the problem, raise awareness of it ... but I think that there’s a lot more to be done.”

Croteau will be one of 16 artists and one performance artist participating in Water Street Studios’ “Climate Crisis: Solutions,” an exhibition and event series that focuses on the planet’s current ecological crisis, according to the Water Street Studio website.

This year’s event is the first in the organization’s Artists as Visionaries program, in which artists respond to an issue that affects the current culture.

“Climate Crisis” is the brainchild of resident artist Jim Jenkins and his wife, Monica, who spent six months helping to bring the event series to fruition.

“Artists, quite often, are the leading edge of changing thoughts and minds, and it was our idea to open up a dialogue

with the community,” said Jenkins, who has spent 20 years creating environmentally-focused artwork. “It just seemed like something that needed to be done.”

“Climate Crisis: Solutions” kicked off March 15 with a poetry and written-word event hosted by Waterline Writers and will continue with a free gallery reception from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, March 20, at Water Street Studios.

At the event, attendees can rub elbows with artists, and there will be hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar. Chicago performance artist Luis Mejico will take the stage at 7 p.m.

“It is always a very exciting and very inspired evening, and it really connects with the community; that’s really what Water Street is all about,”

Jenkins said.

The exhibition, which will feature paintings, sculptures and interactive pieces, will run through May 3.

In April, three free lectures will be presented at Water Street Studios by internationally-known speakers, discussing solutions to environmental issues as related to their particular field of study. Ecologist and author Steve Apfelbaum will present “Nature’s Second Chance” at 7 p.m. Friday, April 10; Lisa Albrecht of Illinois Solar Service will present at 7 p.m.

Friday, April 17; and physicist Dr. G.P. Yeh will present at 7 p.m. Friday, April 24.

Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com

Geneva players celebrate their double-overtime win against Lake Park in a supersectional game at Northern Illinois University’s Convocation Center. delighted “Hoosiers” coach Norman Dale. The Lancers whipped the ball around nine times on their first possession before referees whistled Geneva senior wing Nate Navigato for the game’s first foul after 30 seconds.

Geneva’s Blue Crue student section, which boasted many members in special custom green T-shirts on St. Patrick’s Day, chanted “This is boring!” at times. Still, they couldn’t deny the strategy’s effectiveness.

Lake Park, which held three of its first four postseason opponents in the 30s, moved in tandem with the Vikings, making each shot tough.

“The utmost respect for them,” Vikings senior guard Pace Temple said. “They came in, and it was kind of a game of chess. They run their offense and they’re very, very patient and they take shots. ... It really came down to less of us trying to impact them and us trusting

our own stuff.”

Lancers senior forward Cameron Van Aswegen embodied the team’s defensive tenacity as he matched up against the Buffalo-bound Navigato, who, at 6-foot-7, boasted a 4-inch height advantage on his Lake Park counterpart.

Through three quarters, Navigato, the Vikings’ leading scorer, had just five points on 2-of-6 shooting. Lake Park entered the fourth with a 31-25 lead when Tim Weiss drilled a buzzer-beating 3 at the end of the third quarter in a prelude to McDaniel’s heroics.

Navigato responded in the final stages, scoring 11 points the rest of the way to finish with a team-best 16 – one more than junior post Loudon Vollbrecht, who added eight rebounds.

Navigato finished 5 for 11 from the field and was 5 for 7 from the free-throw line, the product of aggressive moves to the basket in crunch time.

“Being a senior,” Navigato

said, “I feel like I owe it to my teammates to do that.”

Van Aswegen fouled out in the second overtime after giving Navigato all he could handle.

“He’s a (heck) of a player,” said Van Aswegen, who led Lake Park with 15 points. “He can shoot. He can post up. He’s an all-around good player. I just tried to keep him away from the basket, but he made good plays.”

McDaniel can attest to that last part. Fighting foul and shooting trouble, he delivered off a dead-ball situation after Santacaterina seemingly secured the clinching defensive play with 0.5 seconds left in the first overtime.

Instead, he corralled the inbounds pass from Stefan Meccia, made a move toward the left wing and let fly.

Vikings coach Phil Ralston called the play “like a sucker punch to the gut,” but the Vikings ultimately had resolve

on their side.

A Navigato 3-point play with 1:41 left in the second overtime gave the Vikings the lead for good at 50-48. Geneva students and fans waited through several tense sequences after that, namely Danny Hynes’ 3 that drew the Lancers to within 5352 with 26 seconds left.

Geneva closed the game at the free-throw line, beginning with two makes from Stephen Moyer after the Hynes basket.

Ralston’s trademark whistle was audible throughout the night. He infused energy into the program from the start of his tenure, winning the first seven games of his debut season in 2008-09.

Last March, he helped Geneva eighty-six what had been a 29-year regional championship drought. For this season’s encore, he secured the Vikings’ first sectional title and state tournament berth in 52 seasons.

“You know, seven years ago, when I interviewed for the job, I really felt like Geneva would be the place,” Ralston said. “That was one of the reasons I wanted to come here. I saw a lot of success in other sports programs, and in my heart of hearts, this felt like the place for me.”

There’s no question about that comfort zone now nor about the Vikings’ destination later this week.

Geneva is going to state.

DeKALB – As they began spilling from the court to the bowels of Northern Illinois University’s Convocation Center the night of March 17, Geneva boys basketball players scrambled to ensure they had something.

A pulse and sanity might well have applied as missing possessions, but the Vikings instead grabbed hold of their warmup tops.

They’ll need them again this weekend when the program makes its first state tournament appearance since 1963.

Geneva downed Lake Park 57-52 in double overtime in a Class 4A NIU Supersectional destined to live long in Vikings’ lore. The Lancers’ Marcus McDaniel hit a buzzer-beating 3 off an inbounds feed with 0.5 seconds left in the first overtime to force a second, but the Vikings closed the game behind a 21-for-29 effort from the free-throw line.
