Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com

Wredling Middle School eighth-grader Clarissa Barbosa (seated) talks with her sister, seventh-grader Sofia Barbosa, during a meeting with the St. Charles school’s Wredling Writes creative writing group.

Barbosa recently offered a prompt asking students to write out the speech they would give if they had the opportunity to talk to the entire world for 10 minutes.

“They spoke of their wishes, not only for their generation but also for the world,” she wrote in an email. “The speeches I received were both inspiring and educational.”

Several “Dear World” speeches focused on ending bullying and war, like McGill’s did, including one from

adno=0322963

GNR

The group writes fiction, science fiction, some poetry or whatever comes to mind, Barbosa said.

They respond to readings with snapping fingers to show they like it, offering encouragement and feedback in a lively give-and-take.

“Every week, I create a presentation about some aspect of writing,” Barbosa said.

Presentations have covered everything from foreshadowing to character development, plot lines to dialogue.

C.J. Metz, 12, a seventh-grader from St. Charles.

“Why are we always fighting wars?” Metz wrote. “If we start to work together and compromise, we may get world peace.”

Regarding bullying, Metz said it might be seen as “just teasing” but the victim sees it otherwise.

“Bullies, STOP! You probably don’t even know how much you affect the victims’ lives,” Metz wrote. “Sometimes the victims commit suicide because of your bad actions.”

In his speech, Sanjeev Viswan, 14, an eighth-grader from South Elgin, focused on respecting different opinions.

“We shouldn’t undermine someone for simply having a different opinion,” he wrote.

“So, I ask the world a simple thing – respect each other’s opinions, please.”

In her speech, Madeline Swan, 14, an eighth-grader from St. Charles, calls upon those who want to make their mark on the world to be remembered for good deeds.

KAN • Thursday, April 30, 2015 • KCChronicle.com • The Republican

ST. CHARLES – Grace McGill, a 12-year-old sixth-grader, said bullies can “crush and liquidize a kid’s self-esteem into a smoothie.”

McGill also condemned war as the ultimate act of bullying – “And wars! What are you fighting for?! Land? Money?

What’s more important to you: The few dollars you will never spend and the inch of land you will never step on or the thousands of lives that are lost each week in war?”

McGill’s words are part of her 10-minute “Dear World” speech, one of seven by Wredling Middle School students who attend Clarissa Barbosa’s after-school creative writing club.

Barbosa, 14, is an eighth-grader from St. Charles who started the club in October. A fluid group, it attracts 10 to 25 kids at a time – including her younger sister, Sofia, 12, a seventh-grader. Participants share writings electronically, as well as read them out loud and take comments and criticism.

“I like writing,” Barbosa said, explaining why she started the group. “I just approached my teachers, and they were very supportive and open to the idea and we made it work.”

“It doesn’t have to be a lot, just a small deed will do,” she wrote. “Whatever you do, it impacts someone.”

Jazalyn Belz, 13, a seventh-grader from St. Charles, detailed heroes from fictional stories that teach lessons of “love, loss, loyalty, bravery [and] teamwork” and urged the world to follow their lead.

“Just think of what we could do in a world powered by the lessons in our stories,” Belz wrote. “World peace, end of corrupt rule, bullies ceasing to exist and equality are just the beginning.”

Jessica Heiser, a 14-yearold eighth-grader from St. Charles, writes under the pen name Jenny Rose. In her “Dear World” speech, she asks not to be judged because she has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair.

“I am just like you,” she wrote in her “Dear World” speech. “There is no difference between us besides my disability.”

Wredling literacy teacher Danielle Dean said Barbosa’s work with the writing club shows how motivated students are.

“She saw a need in herself and her fellow students, and she rose to meet it,” Dean said.

“She is just an amazing human being.”

Barbosa will be a freshman at St. Charles East next year.

INDEPENDENT VIEW Because the ability to drive preserves seniors’ independence, drivers over age 65 should do everything they can to preserve their driving skills, including having their vision checked. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that those aged 65 years and older have their eyes examined once every one to two years even if they experience no issues. An exam can determine if eyeglass prescriptions need to be updated and whether there are any signs of disease that could compromise vision and hamper driving ability. For instance, cataracts can make objects appear blurry and/or make vision more sensitive to the glare of oncoming headlights, and glaucoma decreases peripheral vision, making it harder to see objects away from the direct line of sight.

P.S. “Contrast sensitivity” is particularly important for discerning objects at dawn and at dusk and should be checked in a senior’s eye exam.

GENEVA – Parents of Geneva High School students will pay an additional $20 in registration fees for all grade levels in the 2015-16 school year, following a unanimous vote April 27 by the District 304 School Board.

Assistant Superintendent for Business Services Donna Oberg said she was recommending the increase because it will help support increases

in technology instruction.

During the past five years, the district has seen a significant increase in technology use in classrooms, Oberg said.

For example, in 2010, the district had two iPods/iPads, and it now has 275; 244 laptops but it now has 587; 289 LCD projectors and now 601; 194 tablets and now 934, according to Oberg’s memo.

After a fire April 25 caused an estimated $1 million in damage to PartyLite’s facility, 601 Kingsland Drive in Batavia, and sent one firefighter to the hospital, employees expect to return to work by the end of the week.

PartyLite assessing damage caused by fire

BATAVIA – PartyLite’s facility at 601 Kingsland Drive in Batavia was closed April 27 as company officials assessed the damage to the 500,000-squarefoot building caused by a fire the night of April 25.

Firefighters responded shortly before 7 p.m. April 25 to the fire, which caused minor injuries to a firefighter and caused an estimated $1 million in damage to the building.

PartyLite sells candles, candle holders, flameless fragrance and wax warmers, as well as holiday and home decor.

Employees were expected to return to work by the end of the week, said Bobbi Schlesinger, spokeswoman for PartyLite. No employees were in the building at the time of the fire, she said.

“We are trying to assess when it would be safe for employees to return,” she said.

The fire started in a section of the building’s manufacturing division, Schlesinger said.

Firefighters continue to investigate the cause.

She said it appears that a

couple of pieces of equipment in the facility might need to be repaired or replaced because of the fire, and the facility should be operating “pretty normally” by the end of the week.

PartyLite’s inventory and distribution divisions also are located in the facility.

Schlesinger said the fire won’t affect the plant’s orders.

“Anyone who is expecting orders from PartyLite will receive them,” she said.

Schlesinger said the company was grateful for the Batavia Fire Department’s rapid response to the fire. The fire was under control in about a half-hour.

“PartyLite is very grateful to the fire department for responding so quickly,” she said.

One firefighter battling the blaze was taken to the hospital with minor injuries and was released after treatment and several others were monitored at the scene for signs of exhaustion, a fire official said.

Batavia Deputy Fire Chief Randy Banker said the investigation into the fire could take several weeks.

Randy Simonian’s selfie shows participants at the April 25 kick scooter parade in Batavia, a failed attempt at setting a new Guinness World Record.

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Randy Simonian did not make his goal of setting a world record for the largest kick scooter parade April 25, but he said they had fun trying.

The event was set in a 2-mile route through downtown Batavia.

“We had 180 kick scooters, [and] the whole thing took less than 30 minutes,” said Simonian, a Batavia resident. “We didn’t come close to breaking the world record, [but] we had a blast. It was horrible. It was raining. It was cold. Everyone was wet. ... It really was fun.

Really, really fun.”

Simonian had hoped for at least 1,000 participants to break the 2013 Guinness World Record for 489 participants in a kick scooter parade in New Zealand.

The $5 entry fee was to raise money for Batavia United Way, which raises funds for programs that directly benefit Batavians. It also was to support CHIP IN Batavia, which helps students in temporary or transitioning housing situations, or who face

Randy Simonian Parade organizer poverty in Batavia.

The total raised for the charities was not immediately available, he said.

Simonian said he has always been fascinated by Guinness World Records.

“I was interested in the guy with the longest fingernails, the world’s fastest human, the guy with the longest mustache. Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve been intrigued,”

Simonian said. “I was trying to think of a way to raise money for homeless kids and people in need.”

But this first-time scooter effort will not be the last, Simonian said, as he is thinking of how to combine Batavia’s Fourth of July fireworks celebration with another shot at a world record.

“There’s 15,000 people who come out for fireworks,” Simonian said. “One of the biggest costs for one of these events is the police, the paramedics and the porta-potties.”

Six portable toilets for the April 25 event cost $600, he said. If he can dovetail another try at a world record kick scooter parade where a lot of people will be gathered, and where portable toilets, police and paramedic costs are already covered, it might have a better shot.

“It would be mostly kids doing it,” Simonian said.

“Parents would be carrying coolers, and kids could be carrying scooters.”

“I still have a pending application” to the Guinness World Record, he said. “We can make 20 attempts to break it.”

No new record in kick scooter parade – except for having fun

ST. CHARLES – The St. Charles Arts Council will introduce its campaign for a downtown center for arts and education at an event next month, according to the organization.

An open house is set for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, May 7, at the historic Clancy Law Building, 7 S. Second Ave., St. Charles. The structure was built in the early 1900s as the Idle Hour Theater.

The open house will feature visual and video art, dancing, music and spoken word entertainment. Attendees may have their picture taken in a photo booth by local professional photographer Gabriela Guganovic.

Wine, beer and a light buffet will be served.

The arts council aims to

create an arts and education center to serve the creative community and its audiences by providing a downtown space for creating, performing, exhibiting, teaching, learning and sharing.

According to the organization’s vision for the center, it would be devoted solely to the arts, be open on nights and weekends, be available for all artistic disciplines, provide an intimate performance space, and act as an information hub about all of the arts programming in the area.

The arts council aims to serve and promote the arts and cultural activities in St. Charles to the mutual benefit of the arts and community.

The facility utilizes natural gas-fired engines that produce electricity during peak power demands. Based on its review of the application, the Illinois EPA has made a preliminary determination that the application meets the standards for issuance and has prepared a draft permit for public review.

The Illinois EPA is accepting comments on the draft permit. Comments must be postmarked by midnight May 30, 2015. If sufficient interest is expressed in the draft permit, a hearing or other informational meeting may be held. Requests for information, comments, and questions should be directed to Jillian Hawkins, Office of Community Relations, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, PO. Box 19506, Springfield, Illinois 62794-9506, phone 217/524-0922, TDD phone number 217/782-9143.

The repositories for the draft permit documents are at the Illinois EPA’s offices at 9511 West Harrison in Des Plaines, 847/294-4000 and 1021 North Grand Avenue East, Springfield, 217/782-7027 (please call ahead to assure that someone will be available to assist you). Copies of the draft permit and project summary may also be available at http://www.epa.gov/reg5oair/permits/ilonline.html. Copies of the documents will be made available upon request.

The CAAPP is Illinois’ operating permit program for major sources of emissions, as required by Title V of the Clean Air Act (Act). The conditions of CAAPP permits are enforceable by the public, as well as by the USEPA and Illinois EPA. In addition to implementing Title V of the Act, CAAPP permits may contain “Title I Conditions,” i.e., conditions established under the permit programs for new and modified emission units, pursuant to Title I of the Act. The permit contains T1 conditions in section 4.1.2 that were established in previously issued permits. The permit contains no T1 conditions that are being newly established or revised by this application.

The facility is located in a potential Environmental Justice area. More information concerning Environmental Justice may be found at http://www.epa.illinois.gov/topics/environmental-justice/index The beginning of this public comment period also serves as the beginning date of the USEPA 45 day review period, provided the USEPA does not seek a separate proposed period.

the weather is sunny. And when it comes to deciding how to spend that summer, kids can be trailblazers with their activities, find their own path, explore their own history or just decide to go for it and reel in as much fun as they can.

The best place to do these things is at Hickory Knolls Discovery Center, where this year’s roster of summer nature camps does all of the above. For kids in kindergarten to sophomores in high school, there are a wealth of programs designed to bring out the budding bug enthusiast, animate the adventurer and even fire up the fishermen.

In addition to returning popular favorites like the Nature Pathfinders camp for kids entering kindergarten through second grade and the Nature Trailblazers program for those entering third through fifth grade, there will be fun, new, themed camps this year, each focusing on a different topic.

“We’re adding some variety in the camp lineup for this summer,” said Lauren Kulinski, Nature Programs supervisor at Hickory Knolls Discovery Center. “If kids wanted to sign up for all six weeks of nature camps, they’d be able to experience something different every session.”

And the themes are out of this world – figuratively, if not literally. From the otherworldly fascination of Sasquatch and the Loch Ness Monster that forms the core of the Unnatural Nature camp geared toward children entering third through fifth grade to the wild and weird world of weather phenomenon aimed at campers entering kindergarten through second grade who sign up for the Mostly Fun ... With a Chance of Sun camp, this summer’s offerings go behind the scenes to expose nature’s cool and quirky sides.

Quirky or cool, away or at home, older campers have worlds of adventure awaiting them. From day trips paddling down the Fox River to overnight campouts at Apple River Canyon State Park, the Go 4 It Adventure camp takes students entering sixth through

Hickory Knolls Discovery Center in St. Charles is offering a variety of summer camps this year. Camps are organized according to the grade level a child will be entering in the fall.

10th grade on new adventures every day. A perfect fit for those who want to get out and about, sessions on orienteering or biking to area nature centers broaden a growing camper’s horizons.

And when it comes to getting away, tales of the “one that got away” can become part of a camper’s repertoire during Rod ‘n Reel camp.

Offered for the first time this year, the Rod ‘n Reel camp was inspired by two avid summer campers from previous years, according to Kulinski.

“We had a couple of campers last summer who were going to be entering sixth grade and knew they wanted a different kind of camp experience for this summer,” Ku-

linski said. “We asked them what they wanted to do and they said they loved fishing, so we said we’d try to find a way to make that happen.”

The Rod ‘n Reel campers will spend their week trying unusual fishing techniques that use kick-seines, nets and other cool contraptions and visit different water sources – streams, creeks, ponds and wetlands – to learn about the diverse aquatic critters found in each environment.

All nature camps provide a unique outdoor education experience that will help children appreciate and respect the natural world – while having the most fun possible. Camps are organized according to the grade level a child will be entering in the fall – from kindergarten to second grade, third to fifth grade, and finally sixth to 10th grade. Most camp sessions run from 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday, but two programs – the Back in the Day camp and the Go 4 It Adventure camp – have slightly longer hours.

For information about any of the camp sessions and registration, call Kulinski at 630-513-4393.

Shakou Japanese restaurant exudes urban vibe Eatery opened this month in St. Charles

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Shakou has brought its modern Japanese cuisine and urban vibe to downtown St. Charles.

The restaurant recently opened its doors at 312 W. Main St. in downtown St. Charles.

Shakou is currently serving only dinner. Lunch hours are set to begin on June 15.

“We are trying to create a city vibe in the suburbs, while doing a tremendous product and great service, and having just a very, very fun atmosphere,” said Shakou founder Aleks Dupor.

This is Shakou’s second location. The restaurant has garnered rave reviews after opening in Libertyville two years ago, being named by the online reservation service Open Table as one of the top 100 “Hot Spot” restaurants in America.

Shakou’s main floor features a dining room with a sushi bar and a cocktail lounge with a bar. The restaurant’s second floor features a sake room for small groups and an upper mezzanine with a spacious bar area for before-dinner drinks and cocktail celebrations.

Dupor and his business partner, Adam Garvanian, head up operations at the restaurant, along with owner Ed Hartigan. Shakou Executive Chef Sang Choi has 15 years of experience under his belt, including working at such notable restaurants as Blue Fin in Chicago and Blue Ginger in

Woodridge.

Lynne Schwartz, executive director of the Downtown St. Charles Partnership, said the opening of Shakou fits in well with the partnership’s new branding effort: “St. Charles – Discover Your City Side.”

“We do have all these urban type[s] of restaurants,” Schwartz said. “It’s exciting for us that they chose downtown St. Charles.”

Shakou’s menu includes a variety of sushi, including tekka (tuna), negi hamachi (yellow tail), and kappa (cucumber). But the menu also features other items, including chicken teriyaki, lobster, steak, shrimp and braised short ribs.

“The menu is very open to all styles,” Dupor said. “Our menu is very expansive. My executive

chef is a tremendous talent.”

The menu will change two to three times a year based on the season, he said.

“The chef is very attuned to changing things up and bringing in seasonal items,” Dupor said.

The restaurant’s look also is open-ended, with modern-looking furniture blending with chandeliers.

“It’s a little different,” Dupor said. “The style itself is very eclectic, with a very urban feel.”

The restaurant has a seating capacity of about 250 people, and the restaurant also can be booked for parties.

“If someone took the entire place up, I could probably hold a party for up to 300 people,” Dupor said.

Contributing to Shakou’s lively feel, the restaurant plans to host DJ events on the weekend. For those looking for a urban type of restaurant, Dupor said he believes the restaurant is filling a niche in the area.

“We are giving people in the suburbs the chance to feel like they are going into the city and not have the city pricing and everything,” Dupor said.

Information about Shakou is available at www.shakousushi. com or by calling the restaurant at 630-444-0850.

BATAVIA – The sometimes obscene and excitedly offbeat humor in Albright Theatre’s “Wonder of the World” kept the audience laughing from the first scene to that last, despite the show’s darker motifs.

Written by American playwright David Lindsay-Abaire, “Wonder of the World” follows the story of a woman named Cass, who leaves her husband (after learning about a bizarre sexual fetish with Barbie heads) and embarks on a journey of self-discovery.

Ending up in Niagara Falls to find her freedom and her fate, Cass falls in with a cast of “crazies” working out their own issues, including a suicidal alcoholic, a tour-boat captain, clown therapist and a pair of private detectives that grapple with the nuances of old age and being married way too long.

One-liners were handled with particular care by Lynda Wellhausen, who played a slew of minor comedic characters. Making her debut at the Albright Theater, Wellhausen took the opportunity to showcase an impressive wheelhouse of accents and personas to bring six characters to life.

In his third production at the Albright Theatre, Galen Malick brought authenticity to the stage, breathing subtlety into his role as Captain Mike, the man vying for the heart of main character Cass (Heidi Swarthout). Apparently, the former Batavia resident rekindled his love for acting in 2011, and it became evident during the per-

Swarthout and Cheryl Rice (Lois) made a formidable on-stage team, bringing a childlike naivette and detached realism, respectively, to each of their roles. JP Quirk, who was in the film “Divergent” and played Channing Tatum’s stand-in and double in “Jupiter Rising,” played Cass’s whiny and sexually-disturbed husband, Kip. The husband and wife who moonlighted as private detectives hired by Kip to track down Cass, were played

by Albright-debut-actor Jen Connon (Karla) and Joel L. Greenblatt (Glen).

The constant bickering by the longtime married couple hit pretty close to home.

Laugh-out-loud funny, irreverent, refreshingly strange and profanity-laden, “Wonder of the World” was wonderfully executed; and it’s no “wonder” why Albright Theatre has been around for 41 seasons. If you haven’t yet made it to Albright Theatre for a show, “Wonder of the World” would make a great introduction.

Shows take place at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays, running through Saturday May 9.

Tickets cost $15 for the general public and $12 for students and seniors. To purchase tickets, visit www.albrighttheatre.com or call 630-406-8838.

The show is rated MA for adult language, suggestive dialogue and sexual content.

SPORTS Fox Valley rugby players share football ties

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Fox Valley Predators team captain Tommy Fink first embraced club rugby as a football training tool.

Six years later, the St. Charles East senior still strives to get the word out.

And trumpet rugby’s other benefits, too.

Want to see for yourself?

Fink and the rest of his teammates from around the region welcome anyone interested in watching a practice or home game at St. Charles’ James O. Breen Community Park. As East classmate Parker Vidmich asserts, the Predators compete “rain or shine,” an ethic that prompted happy and mucky scrums during a wet workout one recent Saturday morning.

“You don’t necessarily need to be the biggest guy,” said the 5-foot-11, 180-pound Fink. “It’s all about the mindset. If you want to go hit that guy, then you’re going to go hit that guy.”

But not put his health in peril. Speaking amid cool raindrops at Breen during the weekend, Fink segued between platforms while wondering aloud about the program’s low turnout.

When he began as a freshman, Fink recalls, St. Charles Rugby fielded enough athletes to form three full teams for a 15-on-15 competition, in addition to alternates. This spring, the since-renamed Predators are under a first-time consolidation with the Batavia Rugby Club and go about 23 athletes strong.

With growing concern about concussions in all prep sports – namely those with greater contact, such as football – Fink figures that factor comes into play, too, although he’s just as eager to rebut it.

“That’s the problem, I think, is that people … hear ‘rugby,’ and they ask their parents about it, and everyone thinks, ‘Oh, it’s such a hard sport. It’s so barbaric and stuff,’” Fink

St. Charles Predator rugby team captain Tommy Fink (10), a St. Charles East senior, makes a tackle in a recent match. said. “But it’s really not. If people were to just come and watch the match, they would see that the ref does things to protect us from getting hurt, and it’s a completely different game. … I don’t have a shell of armor on, so if there’s a pile, I’m not going to dive on top of it, you know. It’s all about protecting yourself.”

Fink sported such padding during the fall as the East football team’s strong-side outside linebacker. Ditto for Vidmich, who played middle linebacker for the Saints.

Other Predators, including Batavia senior Luke Schulz, boast a wrestling background, mimicking director of coaching Jay Crawford’s path into rugby.

“I love the relationships this game brings to everyone,” Schulz said. “It’s awesome. It’s like family out there, playing each other.”

That’s spoken like someone who contends that his own kin ranks closely with its longtime friends, the Watsons, who many consider to form

More online Visit kcchronicle.com/ video for footage of the Fox Valley Predators working on tackling technique at a recent practice.

B-Town’s first family of rugby. Schulz followed two older brothers into the sport, much like coach Daniel “Doc” Watson’s sons at Batavia.

Those ties represent Crawford’s belief in rugby as a life sport, something that can be part of an athlete’s long-term pursuits. A men’s league game was set to follow the recent Saturday high school practice at Breen, which includes an area the St. Charles Park District zoned specifically for rugby.

“We’ve been tremendously lucky here with the Park District and the dedicated field,” Crawford said. “They’ve been very welcome to it.”

Fink, a football recruit at NCAA Division III Augustana, hasn’t played a down for the

Vikings yet but already is bemoaning his likely lack of rugby avenues after high school.

Of course, there are many channels through which he can stay connected, including Schulz, who plans to compete with the men’s league as he begins attending community college locally next school year.

Then there’s St. Charles Rugby product Zach Vyhnanek, who now is part of USA Rugby’s sports medicine staff and remains one of the top program pride points of recent years.

Crawford, a co-founder of St. Charles Rugby in 1987, knows every program alumnus might not ascend similarly, but if it’s safety prospective members are worried about, he offers caution of his own.

Crawford referred to recent measures by the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks and college football power Ohio State in consulting rugby coaches while developing shoulder leverage tackling techniques that help removed head contact from the process.

Reciting the basics of what Seattle calls the “Hawk Tack-

le,” Crawford discussed how the method correlates closely with rugby players’ objective to wrap and squeeze the ball carrier’s thighs, then drive the ball carrier to the ground.

“Super Bowl champs, Super Bowl runner-up. National champs,” Crawford said.

“They’re going, ‘How can these rugby players play this game without equipment, and they’ve taken the head out of the game?’”

Fink hopes renewed energy in keeping various youth program members involved in the sport can carry over. He’s grown weary of asking football teammates to join the Predators in the spring, only to hear of their participation in track or lacrosse.

Versed in the ways of tackling opponents due in part to rugby, Fink would like to think the sport itself might help him wrangle up a few more participants.

“It’s the camaraderie, too,” he said. “It’s the guys that make me want to come back every single year.”
