EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK Kathy Balcazar to use their imaginations to create works of art with Adirondack chairs as their canvas.

“Participants are encouraged to create imaginative and unique works of art appropriate for public display,” stated information about the event.

“Any individual/resident, group or business can participate, with the option of donating the chair for auction at the conclusion of the event.”

The chair that Ashley and I are painting was bought from the Ace Hardware at 2750 E. Main St. in St. Charles (available for a discounted rate of $39.99).

We came up with a design plan to paint the chair, and then we picked up paint and some other supplies.

Our hope had been that we would be able to paint most of the chair pieces outside before assembling the chair; however, the weekday weather hasn’t been very cooperative, so we’ve been painting the pieces in my office.

There is still time for others to participate. The deadline for Chair-ity applications is May 13.

Alderman to interview 6 finalists for Batavia city administrator “We have to protect the confidentiality of the applicants, who are sitting officials in other towns.”

By MARK FOSTER editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – The Batavia City Council is moving closer to a decision on hiring a new city administrator.

Aldermen will conduct interviews with six applicants over two evenings later this month, before naming a replacement for City Administrator Bill McGrath, who is retiring from the post on Aug. 1.

The city received 46 applications for the job, and the six finalists are those being recommended to the city by municipal consultant Bill Balling of Arlington Heights.

Mayor Jeff Schielke said the six finalists include both men and women, and include city officials from other municipalities in the region.

“We have to protect the confidentiality of the applicants, who are sitting officials in other towns,” Schielke said.

Aldermen will interview three applicants on May 17, and the other three on May 19, in sessions that will be closed to the public.

Schielke said he hopes that the city will be in a position to hire the new administrator by early June, to

Jeff Schielke Batavia mayor

allow for a smooth transition before McGrath’s Aug. 1 retirement.

The city anticipates offering the new administrator a salary of between $150,000 and $185,000 per year, under a four-year contract, and would expect a seven- to 10-year commitment from the new administrator.

With 222 employees and a $104 million annual budget, the responsibility shouldered by the new Batavia administrator will be considerable.

City officials and Balling’s firm have said the ideal person hired for the job will have extensive municipal management experience and strong leadership skills.

Scouts help Batavians display flag for holidays Troop 6 aims to raise funds to fly up to 400 flags

By STEPHANIE N. GRIMOLDBY editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – If you’ve driven through Batavia neighborhoods on national holidays, you may have felt a bit more patriotic.

On Loyalty Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day and Labor Day, about 100 households have flown 2-by-3-foot American flags in their front yards, courtesy of a fundraiser hosted by Boy Scout Troop 6, one of the oldest troops in the Three Fires Council in northern Illinois.

Troop 6 has spent the past several years asking Batavia families for a $25 donation to support the Scouts. In return, the Scouts have installed a PVC pipe in their front yard – flush to the ground, so as not to interfere with lawn care – and placed a flag in the pipe the morning of each of the five holidays.

Before dusk, the Scouts have retired the flags and stored them for the next holiday.

“I think it’s really cool,” said Troop 6 member Jacob Barth, 15. “It really supports patriotism and really helps our troop … [and] you don’t have to do anything to enjoy it.”

The Scouts are continuing the fundraiser – dubbed Flags Over Batavia – this year, with the goal of flying 300 to 400 flags throughout Batavia.

It’s a timely goal, as 2016 marks the 100th anniversary of the observance of Flag Day, whose founder – Dr. Bernard J. Cigrand – lived in Batavia in 1916 when President Woodrow Wilson established Flag Day as an annual event, said Scott Wilson, former quartermaster of Troop 6.

Wilson started Flags Over Batavia four years ago after hearing success stories from troops running similar fundraisers in other parts of the state.

“The most awesome thing about it is it sells itself,” Wilson said. “It’s very patriotic.”

Most sales have come from Scouts going door to door.

“It’s nice to reconnect to your neighbors, and I think it’s just really cool when you see the flags ... lining the street,” said Troop 6 member Conall Haldeman, 14. “Pretty much everyone is enthusiastic about the idea. They almost always want to participate.”

Wilson agreed.

“One of our longest supporters, Mike O’Brien – an aldermen who lives across street – he saw me put it in my yard and said, ‘I want one,’” Wilson said. “And that’s pretty much how they go. ‘I would really like to have that,’ is [typical of]

most of the responses [we get].”

Not only does the fundraiser help Troop 6 monetarily, but it also spreads unity throughout the city, O’Brien said.

“It supports the Boy Scouts, a wonderful organization [that is] growing young boys into men,” said O’Brien.

“[And] the more people who do it, it builds a sense of community … . As you drive down the street, I feel a sense of pride in my community, in my country, when you see the flags.”

Village retires red street signs, selling items in good condition

By STEPHANIE N. GRIMOLDBY editorial@shawmedia.com NORTH AURORA – The time to reserve your piece of North Aurora signage is here.

The village of North Aurora began taking requests for its retired red street signs at 9 a.m. May 2.

Interested buyers – and village officials believe there are many – can call 630-897-8228 or make a request in person at the front desk at Village Hall, 25 E. State St. Requests will be taken in the order they are received.

To fairly distribute the signs, village officials have set a limit of five signs per household, with one sign per street name per household.

Cost is $5 each, with proceeds benefiting North Aurora Days. Reservations will be taken through 4:30 p.m.

May 12.

The explicit instructions stem from early interest in the signs and the desire to present a fair opportunity to all interested parties, Village Administrator Steve Bosco said.

there is this much interest in this.”

Several longtime residents have said they’d like to buy the sign that stood on their childhood street.

Others have close ties to the person a street was named after, said Mike Glock, superintendent of public works.

For example, the daughter of former public works superintendent Jack Millen called early to express her interest in buying a sign bearing her father’s name, Glock said.

The sale won’t be limited to current residents. There might be former residents who are interested in buying a bit Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com of North Aurora history, Bosco said.

replaced with new, federally compliant signs.

The new blue signs are part of the rebranding process the village is undertaking, Bosco said.

Switching to blue made the signs more legible at night with better reflectivity, and it also maintained a difference in color from Aurora street signs.

“People said, ‘Why blue?’ You can differentiate what town you’re in,” Bosco said. “It used to be North Aurora was the only town that had red [street signs]. It’s the same with blue … now you can come into town [and realize], these are blue street signs, I’m in North Aurora. That’s part of the branding.

We’re North Aurora. People always assume that North Aurora is just the north part of Aurora.”

Signs can be picked up at Village Hall between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. May 23 through June 3. Any sign not picked up by June 3 will be made available to the next person on the waiting list, if applicable. The rest will be scrapped.

BHS student entrepreneurs Officer to retire after 26 years to enter the ‘Shark Tank’

By MARK FOSTER

editorial@kcchronicle.com

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – Batavia High School juniors and seniors in the INCubator Entrepreneurship course have been preparing all year for a final Pitch Night, which will take place at 6 p.m. May 6 at the Batavia Fine Arts Centre, 1399 W. Wilson St., Batavia. The “Shark Tank”style event will include teams of three and four students pitching their new products and services to real investors from the local area.

The community is invited to the final Pitch Night to find out which, if any, students survive the tank and walk away funded business owners before high school graduation.

The INCubator Entrepreneurship course offers BHS students actual entrepreneurship experience and is sponsored by the Batavia Foundation for Educational Excellence.

BATAVIA – Brian Nallenweg is the guy who put “community” into community policing.

Now, after 26 years with the Batavia Police Department, Nallenweg is retiring from the service and was honored at an April Batavia City Council meeting. “ B r i a n i s b e s t Brian known for his commu- Nallenweg nity-oriented policing style,” police Chief Gary Schira told the audience, filled with Nallenweg’s family, friends and fellow officers.

Indeed, Nallenweg was twice the recipient of the department’s Fred Behner Award for outstanding community service, and he was the 1997 Batavia Officer of the Year.

“One of the things I learned over the years was that I had to focus on intentionally doing positive things in this profession,” Nallenweg said. “If you let the negative parts of the job take over, you’ll lose.”

Nallenweg lamented the demise of the Drug and Alcohol Resistance Education – or DARE – program in Batavia schools, and pointed to this as an

example of a negative that he turned into a positive.

“I’m not a trained DARE officer, but I do know how to have lunch with kids, give them tours of the police department and give high-fives,” Nallenweg said.

After three years with the Elk Grove Police Department, Nallenweg came to Batavia in 1990. In Batavia, Nallenweg served as a patrolman and in the department’s investigations unit, including two tours of duty as a detective.

Nallenweg became a specialist in financial crime investigation and computer forensics, and is known throughout the law enforcement community as an expert in those types of investigations, Schira said.

Now that he is leaving the department, Nallenweg will put his computer skills to use as a part-time technical support specialist for Batavia School District 101, going from school to school to solve computer problems and help support the district’s Chromebooks program. Nallenweg, 51, of Batavia, is an active member of Bethany Lutheran Church and volunteers his service to the homeless community at the Hesed House in Aurora.

“I’m leaving with a satisfied feeling,” Nallenweg said of his retirement.

“I think I did some good in the world.”

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com

By SUSAN O’NEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – Children in Botswana, Africa, and Jamaica are enjoying playground equipment in their communities thanks to a partnership between the Batavia Park District and Kids around the World.

Batavia Park District capital projects manager Jim Eby explained that safety standards here in the U.S. require that the park district replace its playground equipment on a 15-year cycle. In the past, park district equipment that had reached its life cycle would be taken apart and recycled or scrapped.

About five years ago, Eby learned about Kids around the World from another park district director who had volunteered with the organization, taking part in some renewals and installs of playground equipment.

Kids around the World is a faithbased organization located in Rockford that accepts commercial grade playgrounds from parks, schools and

churches, refurbishes them and installs them in countries around the world affected by war, poverty, disease or natural disaster.

The idea of other children getting some good use out of the playgrounds really appealed to Eby. He spoke with some folks who had previous experience with the organization, and they all had very positive things to say.

“It just sounded like a really cool idea,” Eby said.

Batavia Park District Executive Director Allison Niemela got on board right away.

“This is a win-win,” Niemela said.

“It’s a creative way to repurpose playground equipment. It provides another community with an opportunity to recreate that otherwise wouldn’t have it.”

Niemela said that when the park district used to recycle its equipment, the district had to pay to disassemble and dispose of it. By working with Kids around the World to donate the equipment to a community in another country, there is no cost to the park

district. Volunteers disassemble the equipment, refurbish it, make sure it is still safe and install it.

“It’s the best of both worlds,” Niemela said. “And the fact that Batavia can make a positive impact – that’s a gift, in and of itself.”

The playground from Saratoga Park found its new home in Jamaica, and children in Botswana are now playing on equipment from Millview Park. Eby said that the equipment from Hartfield and Engstrom parks has been disassembled and will reside in a warehouse while it is being refurbished, communities to accept it are identified, and money is raised to take it there.

In the meantime, the new equipment for Batavia’s Engstrom Park, featuring a 59-foot zipline, is almost complete. The park district will host a rededication celebration this summer, complete with family-friendly games.

The event will take place at 10 a.m.

Aug. 13.

“We’re eager to get feedback on the equipment there,” Niemela said.

NORTH AURORA – A North Aurora man must serve time in prison for burglarizing a home in Aurora, according to a Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office news release.

Associate Judge Linda Abrahamson on April 20 sentenced Roosevelt T. Yankaway, 23, to 10 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for the 2014 Roosevelt T. crime, the release stat- Yankaway ed. It noted he was given credit for 436 days served in jail.

According to the release, he stole $300 from a home he broke into.

A jury convicted Yankaway of felony residential burglary on Feb. 9.

The release indicated he was eligible for enhanced sentencing because of his criminal history, which includes multiple felony convictions in Kane County for residential burglary, burglary and criminal damage to property. Kane County Assistant State’s Attorneys Vincent Coyle and Alexander Bederka prosecuted the case.

Loyalty Day Parade has locals brimming with pride

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Despite the cool, cloudy day with the promise of rain, the faithful turned out for the annual Batavia Loyalty Day Parade on May 1.

Parade-goers began to line Route 25 long before the first sirens whooped and the first handful of candy was tossed. Many came with blankets, folding chairs and umbrellas – and flags to wave – for the annual patriotic procession hosted by Batavia VFW Post 1197.

As the different units passed by, volunteers asked for donations to support Fourth of July fireworks in Batavia.

Jamiee Friemuth and Kim Masters of St. Charles said they came not only for the parade, but also to support Mr. Gutter, a St. Charles company represented in the parade by their husbands, Carl Friemuth and Curt Masters, respectively.

“The company has been in business 36 years,” Jamiee Friemuth said.

Marie Copland of South Elgin said she came to the parade to support her stepson, Robert Copland, 16, a Batavia High School junior who would play drums in the marching band.

Joseph Atkins, 56, of Chicago, came with his wife, Stacy, and daughter Jamila because his older daughter, Sarah, 18, was marching with the Air Force in the parade. She plans to join the Air Force to do tactical aircraft maintenance, he said.

“That means she’ll make sure the airplane doesn’t fall out of the sky,”

Laurie Lundburg (left) of Batavia and Lori Wilson of North Aurora both play flute in the Batavia Community Band during the Loyalty Day parade.

Atkins said. “I’m very proud of her.”

Kristie Katzel of Batavia said she came to see her brother-in-law Paul Ducoff and niece Rinne Ducoff, 11, who were participating with Indian Princesses in the parade.

“I like to come out for the parade in Batavia,” Katzel said.

Around the campfire

NEWS BRIEF

After many years photographing baseball games, I saw something new the other day. Between innings, members of the Geneva baseball team each grabbed their own bats and ran to the third base line near left field. The players situated their bats as if they were logs in a campfire and circled the “fire” with their legs crossed and seated on the ground. Head coach Matt Hahn said the team recently had visited Vanderbilt University, and this was one of their team’s rituals during a game. “Whatever keeps ’em busy,” Hahn said.

Ospreys exquisitely adapted for capturing prey Wow, how lucky are we?

Over the past several years, it’s gotten increasingly easier to witness one of nature’s most breathtaking spectacles: the majestic sight of bald eagles soaring overhead.

Improved water quality in the Fox River, as well as other habitat-saving measures, have given these magnificent creatures exactly what they need: tall trees for nests and roosts; the space they need to fly free; and, of course, fresh fish (along with occasional waterfowl and carrion) to eat.

But while I don’t want to discourage anyone from admiring a bald eagle – they are, after all, our nation’s symbol – there’s another bird that I feel deserves at least as much respect as eagles. It, too, lives right here in the Fox Valley.

In fact, it’s sometimes even mistaken for an eagle.

Folks, meet the osprey, Pandion haliaetus.

Like eagles, ospreys are large birds that inhabit areas along waterways. But, unlike

Like eagles, ospreys are large birds that inhabit areas along waterways.

our customers prefer lighter, healthier options,” said Obernesser. “Our winter shrimp dishes were extremely popular, so we’ve added a Charlemagne Omelette (with shrimp, spinach, cream cheese, Havarti cheese, and scallions) to our Brunch menu. Shrimp and Cheesy Grit Cakes, Shrimp Tacos, and Basil Pesto Salmon with Bacon Brussels Sprouts add several delicious options to our Spring Entree menu.” This is in addition to a Citrus Chicken Tango Salad, Tuscan Shrimp Pasta, and Elote (roasted Mexican corn), which round out the exciting choices.

For the Brunch menu, Obernesser developed two quinoa options; one is cold, creamy, and sweeter, with strawberry yogurt and fresh fruit.

The other is hot and savory, with sausage, mushrooms, spinach, and eggs. “Quinoa is a very high protein grain with no gluten,” said Obernesser. “Both quinoa choices on our Brunch menu are healthy and delicious.” A vegetarian Harvest Hills skillet, with both sweet and redskinned potatoes, Brussels sprouts, roasted red peppers, Havarti cheese, and two eggs, and a Blueberry Lemon French Toast combo round out the Spring Brunch menu. All of which pair nicely with a well-deserved Mother’s Day mimosa!

about 10 years old when it met its fate.

Because ospreys tend to remain loyal to their natal nesting area, we’re guessing that this bird was migrating through our area. Perhaps it was attracted to the retention ponds that dot the area along Peck and Campton Hills roads. Maybe it caught something, but couldn’t lift itself high enough to clear the traffic. Its injuries are consistent with what we see with vehicle strikes.

At any rate, the bird may not have died in vain. Because of ospreys’ endangered status in Illinois, we can’t legally keep the bird in our possession.

But the Illinois Department of Natural Resources can. Officials there are hoping to find the funds to have the bird taxidermied and placed on display at Conservation World, the agency’s exhibit area at the Illinois State Fair.

Fingers crossed, the funds will materialize in time and Osprey No. 0788-56085 can be put on display. In the coming years, instead of just a fortunate few, millions of people will get to see and learn about this spectacular species. How lucky they’ll be!

let us crowd around it, while great blue herons and great egrets waded in the shallows along the shoreline.

This action and more occurred against the greenish golden backdrop of late summer along the Fox. Remarking on the beauty that surrounded us, my friend and colleague Jeanette Joy said, “Gee, about the only thing that could make this any better would be to see an osprey.”

As if on cue, one appeared overhead. True to form, it was flying with a fish clasped in its talons. But rather than a native gamefish, this bird had gone for something a bit flashier: a bright orange goldfish. Oy! One other place to see an osprey, for a limited time only, is Hickory Knolls. We have one in our freezer.

A series of circumstances we can only imagine recently led to an adult osprey turning up dead on a sidewalk at James O. Breen Community Park.

Our horticulture and turf crews spotted it, and turf supervisor Bill Thomas brought it up to the nature center. He pointed out that it had a broken wing.

Head trauma, too, was noted.

Lisa O’Brien, our program coordinator, called in the band number, and last week we received a certificate from the U.S. Geological Service providing additional information. The bird was banded on July 13, 2006, at Rice Lake in Minnesota. At that time, it was too young to fly, so we can figure that the bird was

Bootlegger’s strives to be Maple Park’s tavern

By SUZANNE FLYNN editorial@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK – First Street Bank of Maple Park opened in 1903 on Main Street in the village. The bank is now long gone, but its building has housed several restaurants and owners the past 25 years.

Tony and Donna Har rington bought the building in June 2011 after its previous owners put it up for sale. The Harringtons took the entire summer that year to remodel the building before reopening it to the public as Bootlegger’s Bar, Grill & Pizza.

“When we first opened, we had the bar operational and only served pizza,” Donna said. “Several months later we created a full menu and – since then – have served homemade soups, sandwiches, steak, tacos, pizza, fish and more.”

With its daily specials, Bootlegger’s brings in plenty of regulars from the community.

“I post our daily specials on our Facebook page for everyone to see,” Donna said.

Although both Tony and Donna had worked in restaurants before, neither of them had ownership experience.

“Tony had to convince me to buy the place,” Donna said.

“He was tired of working for other people and wanted to do something on his own and for our community.”

Bootlegger’s is a family-friendly restaurant with the bar situated on the opposite side of the building so that it is separate from the dining room.

“Tony wanted this to be like a Wisconsin tavern where people bring their families to eat, drink and be social,” Donna said.

Bootlegger’s also hosts birthday parties, fundraisers and wedding receptions, as well as the Maple Park Family Fund’s annual Christmas raffle.

Last year, the Harringtons turned the building’s drive-thru space into a beer garden, adding an additional 40 seats to the restaurant.

“It’s a great outdoor area during the nice weather,” Donna said.

Two Batavia businesses celebrate ribbon-cutting ceremonies

By BEN DRAPER bdraper@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – The Batavia Chamber of Commerce recently celebrated two new businesses.

Gatherings By Design was honored at the Batavia Chamber of Commerce office, 106 W. Wilson St., Batavia. Gatherings By Design is a full-service event planning and decorating business.

Karen Gross and Patti Anselme, both of Batavia, started the business in March 2015.

“The Geneva Chamber tracked us down to decorate for the Christmas house tour, which is what spurred us on to start our business and make it official,” Gross said.

2FitSis, an in-home personal training and health coaching business.

Batavia sisters Stephanie Shipman and Amanda Morse began 2FitSis in March 2015 and host one-on-one or small group classes in their homes,

or at clients’ homes. The duo focuses not only on personal fitness, but a healthy lifestyle.

“We have a passion for it, and we’re good at it,” Shipman said.

2FitSis also presents a Boks program, sponsored by Ree-

bok, at Hoover Wood Elementary School.

“It’s not just for adults – getting healthy can start at any age. A lot of kids are in sports.

[Boks] prevents injury and keeps them healthy. We’ve been having a blast with the

kids,” Shipman said.

Shipman already has participated in a few Batavia Chamber events.

“We want to get out into the local community,” she said.

The Selective Service System wants to hear from men and women in the community who might be willing to serve as members of local draft boards.

As of April 28, four board members who live in Kane County were needed.

“Even though there is no draft today, we must be ready in case a national emergency requires Selective Service to provide additional personnel to augment our volunteer U.S. armed forces,” stated a news release. “Board members are volunteers who play an important role in their community and are closely connected with our nation’s defense. If a military draft becomes necessary, local boards would decide which young men receive deferments,

postponements or exemptions from military service based on federal guidelines.”

Once identified as qualified candidates for appointment, members are recommended by the governor and appointed by the director of the Selective Service, who acts on behalf of the president of the United States in making the appointments.

Local board members must be U.S. citizens, at least 18 years old and residents of the area served by the board.

They may not be active, reserve or guard members of the armed forces, nor can they be retired military or employed in a law enforcement occupation.

To learn more, contact the Selective Service at Christopher.brennan@sss.gov, call 847-688-7993 or visit www.sss.gov (click on tab labeled “Volunteers,” then click on “Board Member Program”).

Ethlyn Dulin Ware; daughter of Garrettson Dulin and Jane Stimson Dulin, Ethlyn, “Dulie” as she was known to all, grew up in Pasadena, California, where she was born.

Dulie attended the Polytechnic School , The Masters School in Dobbs Ferry, New York, then on to Scripps College in Claremont, California, from where she graduated in 1943. Following graduation, Dulie volunteered for the Red Cross, serving as a Grey Lady stationed in Honolulu, Hawaii.

After her service, she returned home to start a nursery school, which was attended by children of Hollywood’s legendary families.

Around this time, she met Gordon Keith Ware and they were married in June, 1946.

Dulie was an active volunteer with the Junior League of Pasadena and Chicago, where she served as President. She was also a member of The Contemporary Club, having served as President, the Know Your Chicago Club, The Women’s Athletic Club, the Belvedere Club and the Dunham Woods Riding Club. Dulie was an accomplished horsewoman, having spent many years as a child riding with her father. Her love for animals, especially her pug dogs, continued throughout her life. Especially pleasurable were her visits to the Brookfield Zoo. Dulie loved people of all ages, treating everyone she met with respect, love and genuine interest. She adored engaging with young people, appreciated a good sense of humor, and lived her life with indomitable spirit and joy. She loved challenging books, intellectual discussions, current events and traveling later in her life with her dear friend, Corwith Hamill. Many will remember her as a “stylish lady”: dressed in colorful attire, highlighted by her immaculate, white hair.

Dulie is survived by her four children, Victoria Jessopp (Charles), Keith Ware (Heather), Alyson Hellman (Peter) and Jane Swaffield (Payson); ten grandchildren, seven great grandchildren, and two brothers, Garrettson Dulin Jr. and Robert Dulin.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to: The Brookfield Zoo, Attn: Cindy Ziegler, 8400 W. 31st St., Brookfield, Il. 60513 or The Little Home Church by Wayside, 32W128 Army Trail Road, Wayne, Il 60184.

A memorial service is being planned for a later date.

Audrey was incredibly proud of her family and took great care of them. She was young at heart and enjoyed traveling in the US and around the world with her husband, children and grandchildren never shying from an adventure. She was very dedicated to her faith and was an active member of St. Peter’s Catholic Church during her time in Geneva. She loved to host family celebrations for all occasions. Audrey was a loving and compassionate mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend and will be greatly missed.

She is survived by her son, Paul (Bernadette) of Saratoga Springs, NY; daughter, Robin (David) Ulrich of Mt. Pleasant, SC; daughter-in-law, Denise of San Antonio, TX; grandchildren, Jessica (Brian), Dennis, Christopher (Sarah), Julie (Jon), Kristy, and Adam (Laura); great grandchildren, Piper, Andrew, Katherine, Owen, Isabelle, Olivia, and Juliet; and many other dear relatives and friends.

Audrey was preceded in death by her parents; her loving husband, Paul who passed away in 2003; and her son, Dennis who passed away in 2010.

• Be prepared for retirement

Older adults, in particular, should take note if their central vision becomes blurry, hazy, or crooked. These are symptoms of “age-related macular degeneration” (AMD), which is the leading cause of legal blindness among seniors.

It is important to diagnose AMD in its early stages to prevent severe vision loss. This eye condition, which involves deterioration of the central portion of the retina (called the “macula”), takes two forms: “Dry” AMD is caused by the formation of waste products (“drusen”) underneath the retina that cause atrophy. The more serious “wet” AMD involves the formation of leaky abnormal blood vessels beneath the retina. Typically, AMD progresses from the dry to the wet form, but some patients present with wet AMD initially.

P.S. While anyone may develop either dry or wet AMD after about age 50, the average onset of wet AMD usually occurs in a person’s late 70s to early 80s.

GENEVA – Kane County Board members aren’t ready to boost salaries for elected officials.

That was the general consensus of the Finance and Budget Committee on April 27, when Chairman John Hoscheit introduced the topic for consideration.

While committee members were open to long-term discussions about the subject, they weren’t prepared to vote by the next County Board meeting on any increases that would take effect after the November election.

Cristina Castro, D-Elgin, described the topic as inappropriate given the state’s “mess” of a financial climate.

“Right now I’m looking at reality,” she said.

Hoscheit, R-St. Charles, acknowledged the issue is always challenging for the board but said it has been years – possibly a decade – since the last sal-

ary adjustment, which cannot take effect during an official’s term.

He clarified that the raises – a “modest amount,” not a lump sum – would be for elected officials in countywide positions, such as County Board chairman, state’s attorney and treasurer – not County Board members.

“The elected officials are fulltime employees in most cases here,” Hoscheit said.

Theresa Barreiro, D-Aurora, said that while some elected officials are deserving of raises, she is concerned that such increases would be a prelude to raising the property tax levy, which she is against.

Deborah Allan, D-Elgin, offered another perspective. If the county doesn’t offer “respectful” salaries, she said, it might not attract candidates with such assets as a Master of Business Administration.

“I want to have the opportunity to get the best,” she said.

Drew Frasz, R-Elburn, said citizens should be involved in the discussion.

Hoscheit supported that idea, especially when board member salaries are involved.

Elburn Lions Club makes updates to park, clubhouse

By DEBBIE BEHRENDS editorial@kcchronicle.com ELBURN – The Elburn Lions Club recently finished some renovation work on its clubhouse as it gears up to host summer picnics and additional events.

“We took all the overhead doors on the south side of the building and put in glass windows and sliders so you can see the park better,” club President Kevin Poust said. “It shows off the beauty of the park, even in the winter.”

Poust said the club covered the paneling inside the clubhouse with drywall, painted, installed crown molding and a chair rail, and added some new flat-screen TVs and closets.

“Both the building and the south pavilion are available to rent,” Poust said. “And this is probably one of the most economical spaces to rent in the area.”

The clubhouse the week of April 18 was rented by the Kane County Fire Chiefs for its monthly meeting and dinner.

“Each month a different chief hosts, but 90 percent of them choose to have it here,” Poust said.

Poust noted that four events are booked at the clubhouse in May. Three weddings, a graduation party and a few meetings are on the books for June.

Even though she’s been doing marketing for the facilities for about three years, Deb Cornell said a lot of people don’t know the Elburn Lions’ clubhouse and pavilion are available for rent.

“Our goal is to get more events scheduled,” Cornell said. “We would like to have rentals booked a year in advance.”

She said a few dates in June and July are still available. While some dates in August are available, Elburn Days meetings and activities occupy the clubhouse the majority of the month.

The facilities are rented more often in the summer months, but Poust said

“Our goal is to get more events scheduled. We would like to have rentals booked a year in advance.”

they are used by the club year-round.

Members host a free spaghetti dinner– open to the public – the fourth Tuesday of each month, as well as bingo and Elburn Days, which will take place Aug. 19-21 this year.

“Elburn Days is a huge deal, with the entire community getting involved,” Poust said.

As for the continuing renovation plan, Poust said, the club next year plans to renovate and update the bathrooms in the clubhouse.

The improvements aren’t confined to indoor spaces, either.

“We’re also doing our third phase of playground improvements – we’re adding a completely new toddler playground; the equipment was just ordered,” Poust said. “We’re doing an extension of the playground and adding a zip line for the kids to play on.”

One corner of the playground will be home to a community bulletin board, where any community organization can advertise an event.

“Little League, Boy Scouts, the [Elburn] Chamber – anyone can contact Deb [Cornell] to have their flier put up on the board,” Poust said.

For information about rentals or the community bulletin board, call Cornell at 630-365-6315.

ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING

BY TERRY AND KIM KOVEL KOVELS.COM Chinese apothecary chests were originally made to hold herbs and medicines used in past centuries. The chests were usually made of elmwood, or other dark wood. The chest may have a stand with very short legs because the Chinese used to do business at floor level, not behind a counter. No nails were used making the chest, just dowels and glue. Each chest had rows of 36 to over 100 small, labeled drawers. At a January 2016 auction at James D. Julia, auctioneers offered an antique elmwood apothecary chest with 80 drawers.

Small collectibles, such as coins, netsukes, buttons, sewing supplies, Star Wars toys, CDs or marbles, can be stored in this type of cabinet. There are many companies selling modern copies. This antique auctioned chest with a stand is 43 inches high, 36 inches wide and 12 inches deep. It sold for $948, less than the price of a new one on the internet. *** Q: Can you give me a general idea of the value of a mintcondition Schultz and Dooley set of steins? They are characters from Utica Club beer commercials from the early 1970s.

Schultz is nearly a foot high and Dooley over half that height.

A: Utica Club beer was first made in 1933 by West End Brewing Co. of Utica, New York. The company was started in 1888 by Francis Xavier Matt. Schultz and Dooley beer steins appeared in TV commercials advertising Utica Club beer from 1959 to 1964. Jonathan Winters provided the voices for the “talking” beer steins. The steins were given to bars and stores as promotional items and were so popular they were later offered for sale. The steins were sold in sets. Only 5,000 sets were made in 1959. The brewery company name became the F.X. Matt Brewing Co. in 1980. It’s still in business and offers a new character beer stein each November.

Value depends on rarity of the edition you have. The 1959 set in good condition sells for $175-$200. *** Q: I have a glass cup that was my father’s. The glass is red and has a clear handle and pattern around the bottom.

His name, Wayne, is on the glass, along with the date 1924.

I’m assuming it was from some event. Was it a special order or did they engrave it on the spot? Do you know how that process worked?

A: Your red glass is called Ruby Stain, and the deeply faceted band on the bottom is called Button Arches. The pattern was first issued by Duncan Glass Co. in 1885, by the U.S. Glass Co. in 1897, and Jefferson Glass Co. about 1910.

Yours is probably the later issue. Items like this were sold as souvenirs for events and places all over the country. Most souvenir pieces, including pitchers, sugar and creamers, tumblers, cups, mugs, toothpicks and paperweights, were ruby stained, though a few were green. Visitors could buy a piece of ruby-stained glass and have it inscribed with the location, event, date and the name of a special person. The wording was either acid-etched or wheel engraved. Your mug might have been for a christening, birthday or a visit to a special place. It’s worth about $10 to $25 to a collector.

Q: I have a set of eight plates with center pictures of different flowers and gold trim. The plates are about 6 inches across. The letters on the back look like an “O” and “L,” and “Rove. Saxe” is marked over the initials “E.S.” I’d like to know who made these plates and how old they are.

A: The initials “E.S.” stand for Erdmann Schlegelmilch and the mark on your plates actually is “Prov. Saxe,” which was used by the Erdmann Schlegelmilch Porcelain Factory.

The factory was founded by Leonard Schlegelmilch (18231898) and named for his father, Erdmann. It was in business in Suhl, Thuringia, Germany, from 1861 to 1937. The company

made decorated and undecorated porcelain. The “Prov. Saxe” mark was used beginning in 1902 and was one of several marks used by the company. Some of the 7 1/2-inch plates with floral decoration have sold online for less than $10. *** Q: I have a “Blender Queen,” a modern-looking glass jar with a streamlined plastic base and a top that looks like a spaceship. It plugs in, push the on button, the blades inside revolve and you get a “smoothie.” It seems to be a relative of the Waring Blender. Is this the inspiration for the Waring Blender or a later copy? Is it sellable?

A: The Waring Blender was financed and manufactured by the popular band leader, Fred Waring. An inventor went to him for money and Waring put $25,000 into a company to make the then-unique product. It was patented in 1938 and sold as the “Miracle Mixer,” but the name was quickly changed to the Waring Blender. It cost $29.75. It was a huge success and was used in hospitals for special diets and scientific experiments, as well as for what we now call “smoothies.” Sixty-seven companies made similar products.

Some are called liquefiers. Your Blender Queen was made in the 1960s.The push-button on and off switch was an improvement created in 1963. We saw a working plastic Waring “Drink Mixer” for sale at a flea market in August 2015 for $30.

Working blenders from the ‘60s sell for about $30 to $100. *** Tip: Always use your hair spray or perfume before you put on your jewelry. Both products damage some metals and stones. *** Need prices for your antiques and collectibles? Find them at Kovels.com, our website for collectors.

OUR VIEW

Ideas roll before camera The Tri-Cities area is a far cry from experiencing routine road closings for film crews to operate.

Yes, “Road to Perdition” shot scenes in Geneva, and the chilling “Munger Road” filmed in St. Charles, Elburn, Geneva, Sugar Grove and Bartlett.

But those movies were released about a decade apart. There were countless film ideas hatched in the interim, however, including several from Fox Valley natives. Contrast the title of Genevan Ben Nissen’s first independent film – “Nowhere Mind” – with the creativity that’s routinely brewing in these parts. Using your noggin never is a bad thing.

When it inspires others in the community to follow suit, it’s even better.

“Nowhere Mind” tells the story of a man who uses out-of-body experiences in the hopes of shedding a recent schizophrenia diagnosis. Thanks to Indie Gogo – the filmmaking cousin to GoFundMe – Nissen has raised more than $5,000 toward the $15,000 he needs for the project. Nissen is collaborating with his wife, St. Charles North graduate Katie Clementz, on the film. Another North product, Nick Smith, piloted “Munger Road,” which revolves, in part, around St. Charles’ annual Scarecrow Festival.

As Nissen, Smith and their brethren can attest, source material is all around us. Could an ABBA musical set at Swedish Days be just around the corner?

OUR VIEW

w the world’s a stage A high school newspaper adviser once advocated thumbing through the school phone directory, pointing to a student’s name and seeking out a story. The idea was that everyone had an interesting hook, a tale to tell, a reason to savor the spotlight.

Fast forward a few years, and that all-inclusive ethic still applies in the hallways. The annual Kaneland High School talent show, held April 29, provided an avenue for students to showcase their many gifts. Singing, dancing and saxophoning were but a sampling of the 20 acts to take the stage.

About 250 spectators attended, but one performer, singer-pianist Trevor Cannon, might have enjoyed the festivities most.

“It was a fun night with a variety of entertainment,” Cannon said. “I had never done something like this before, but I wanted to show them that I had talents that they didn’t know about. It went smoothly. I was nervous at first, but then when I was done, it was like, ‘Oh my gosh,’ because they were all clapping and cheering pretty loudly.”

Bravo to all who participated. Here’s hoping Cannon’s revelation might sprout a few more new acts in 2017.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Without newspapers, what then?

I’m about to begin a vigorous 10-minute workout at Geneva’s Sunset Recreation Center when a man about my age (thinning white hair, slight paunch, plus T-shirt and shorts that someone might garden in) stops me with: “Hey, didn’t you used to write for the Chronicle?”

Stung, I answer, “Far as I know, I still do.”

Brushing this away like a Zika virus mosquito, he inquires, “What newspaper will give me the local news?”

“The Chronicle’s still publishing. It’s just mostly online.”

He smiles benignly at the dope, relays his preference for newsprint, then adds, “What happened to your paper?” maybe mistaking me for the Chronicle’s circulation manager.

“Same thing that’s happening to most papers,” I reply, then blah-blah-blah about easily-accessed online information – not always delivering newspapers’ depth and accuracy. Before I get to the environmental perks of online publication, however, I realize he doesn’t care. His question was rhetorical. In fact, I doubt he’s ignorant of alternative titles to the Chronicle.

Rather, he’s looking for a scapegoat, someone connected to the newspaper, however distant-

RIVER TOWN CHRONICLES Rick Holinger ly, to absorb his annoyance about the shrinkage of newsprint.

A day later, I get it; the de-evolution of newspapers was only the vocalized, conscious tip of his iceberg of frustration. The unrecognized motive for his Chronicle crankiness was the slow loss of life as he knew it, the decline of newspapers a tangible sign of that advancing extinction.

Look, I love the feel, smell and heft of hardbacks and paperback.

I’ll never commit to a Kindle, and reading literature on a phone belittles the reading experience literally and emotionally.

Novelist Tim Parks, in the “New York Review of Books,” begins, “At the university where I work, certain professors ... will react with disapproval at the notion that one is reading poetry on a Kindle. It is sacrilege.”

Scarier still, electronic communication – professor and editor Sven Birkerts argues – creates “a more telegraphic sort of ‘plainspeak.’ Simple linguistic prefab is now the norm, while ambiguity, paradox, irony, subtlety and wit are fast disappearing.”

Birkerts also questions whether the academic canon of literary texts “might not be too taxing a system for students. ... Should we suppose that American education will begin to tailor itself to the aptitudes of its students, presenting more and more of its materials in newly packaged forms? And what will happen when educators find that not very many of the old materials will ‘play’?” – that is, capture student enthusiasm.

We’re already caving to youth’s aversion to reading; one Emory University professor only assigns novels under 200 pages.

That said, I’m comfortable, though not entirely happy, getting my daily news from a screen. If that’s what it takes for local newspapers to continue, fine.

Because if local newspapers fold, where will we find out what’s behind city council decisions?

Who’ll question tax hikes? How will we know from Sound Off how people really feel? Thank you, dear readers, for investing your time and treasure in the Chronicle – in whatever shape-shifting form it might appear.

A few weeks ago I turned 19 years old, and it amazes me that nothing much has changed. I am on the cutoff for my teen-hood and on the brink of entering the “best decade of my life.” While I yearn to hold onto the simplicity of being a teen, I so much want to jump right into my 20s. Last year, turning 18 meant I was officially an adult. Now, I must wait two years until all the greatness of 21 occurs. Until then I am stuck being 19.

Recently, when I was working at my job at the retirement home, I overheard a few stories from residents that really made me appreciate the stage of my life that I am in. While I cleaned tables, I heard a resident tell another that he was born in the decade of the Depression.

He explained how his family had to overcome so much to get back on their feet. On

BEFORE THE DIPLOMA Denise Cartina a daily basis, I always hear a few residents state how “life was so much easier back when we were young” and “we had such a good time back then. The world is going downhill.” Some of these remarks I chuckle and ignore, and others really hit me hard. Everyone loves to reminiscence about the glory days, and I often am intrigued to hear some of the memories the residents have to share.

When I listen to the stories that residents share with one another, it makes me realize just how much each individual has gone through in his or her lifetime. The residents have witnessed wars, lived through economic highs

and lows, and have seen the American society evolve over time.

Mainly, I cannot even fathom the idea of growing old one day and being the same age as the residents whom I serve. It just seems so far off.

It is so unbelievable that I may one day be placed in the very seats that the residents at the retirement home sit today. Since I started working there, I have encountered some residents who have told me some words of advice, such as how I should not take life for granted or how I should smile as much as I can and enjoy my youthful years.

While I was busing tables today, a man called me over and asked if I could cut the corn he was eating off the cob. While I have never done such a thing, I grabbed a knife anyway. I asked the man how he wanted me to cut it, just to make sure I was

going to do the job right. He proceeded to tell me that I had the right idea, and I successfully cut the corn off; no big deal. Before I left, the man thanked me and told me a statement that was probably meant to be lighthearted, but I took it as something more.

He mentioned that when I am 100 years old, I will remember the little things in life such as today. The day that this resident jokingly “taught” me how to properly cut corn off the cob – 100 years old, can you imagine?

SOUND OFF Dangerous territory

Currently, in the year 2016, we have many individuals who are required to take sensitivity classes. A very kind pediatrician I know must attend a sensitivity course. This is a result of joining a hospital in his community that forced a buyout of his private practice. What an insult to some very competent and hard-working Americans to sit in a classroom where they are told to be “sensitive.” But my real concern involves designer babies who will grow up to be intelligent and beautiful (since they are designed in that form). Will they be required to take sensitivity classes to deal with us “normal” humans? Designer babies are not a joke. We are entering some very dangerous territory. There are no longer boundaries for marriage or gender or babies.

This is what happens without rules. We are entering dangerous times. I say, “Take your science and bury it.” Use common sense, you bird brains. Oops. I take it back. That is too kind because birds are smarter than the people who design babies by

To the editor: Having read the Kane County Chronicle for years, it was logical to read the Elburn Herald after moving to Elburn. Recently, the Elburn Herald was purchased by Shaw Media. Welcome.

Not seeking to find fault, one of the first pertinent articles that Shaw Media printed for Elburn was on the M.A. Center on April 21, titled “Center seeks special use to build more housing.” This article is imperative to all of the taxpayers of Elburn and all of its tax bodies, as well. However, this vastly important article in the new Elburn Herald eliminates the most vitally important five paragraphs in its Elburn Herald printed version. Oddly, the full article is contained in the Kane County Chronicle.

The article explains the history of the M.A. Center and its recent improvements. The county sought input from Elburn because the center is located within 1.5 miles of the village. The main discussion of the meeting was whether the county will or will not add the legal condition of approving taxation on M.A. Center’s residential units.

Attorney Bob Britz, thankfully, stated that it would be a simple matter for the county to approve the special use for the M.A. Center, with the condition that it have its proper residential housing tax.

This is now the necessary clear and concise taxed condition.

Cupcake stand raises money for Lazarus House Western Avenue school first-graders donate $236 KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE neighbors@kcchronicle.com GENEVA – Wendy Graves’ firstgrade class at Western Avenue Elementary School in Geneva hosted a cupcake stand – which they named Cupcake Ooh La La! – on April 23.

Matilda Gustafson proposed the idea, and the whole class formed a “business plan,” made signs, organized, and even made a commercial on their own initiative, information about the event stated.

“The kids and families worked together and had water, lemonade and over 100 baked goods to sell during the community garage sale,” the information stated. “Thanks to the support of friends, family, teachers and generous community members, they raised $236 to donate [to] Lazarus House.”

Participants were introduced to the work that Lazarus House does by the third-grade Western Avenue School Kids Care community service project earlier this year, and their imaginations were sparked reading “The Lemonade War” in the districtwide One Book, One School initiative, the information stated.

“This is a wonderful example of how Mrs. Graves, Western Avenue Elementary School and District 304 are creating good citizens, as well as scholars,” the information stated.

Lee Marvin said, “As soon as peoFRI, MAY 6 8-3 ple see my face on a movie screen, SAT, MAY 7 8-NOON they know two things: first, I’m not going to get the girl, and second, I’ll get a cheap funeral before the picture is over.”

This deal has two faces. Yesterday, Many Misc Household Items & More!

South got the girl when he made four hearts. But if West had been GENEVA - MILL CREEK GARAGE SALE more resourceful and East had coop230 Homes! Thurs-Sat, May 5-7, 8am-4pm erated, South’s contract could have Maps at www.millcreekgeneva.com 1.5 miles west of Randall between Keslinger and Main Streets been given a funeral. How? After West’s one-spade opening GENEVA HISTORIC DISTRICT bid was passed around to South, he 521 South Street might have jumped to three hearts.

May 5/6 Room and Board twin beds, leather chairs, In this balancing position, it would designer clothing/shoes (Tory Burch) books, lamps, mirrors, bookcases, have been an intermediate jump Lane cedar chest, treadmill, nice antiques, jewelry, keurig, large wool rugs, overcall (not weak), showing at least huge soccer goal, ping pong table a six-card suit and some 15-17 points.

But it would typically have indicated a stronger suit than this one. North’s three-heart raise was no thing of beauty, with a 10-loser hand, but with four-card heart support, it was hard to pass.

Against four hearts, West leads the spade king. East overtakes with his ace and returns the spade four.

How should West analyze the deal?

West can see a third trick in the club ace, but he should realize that South will know he has the heart king. East passed over one spade and has produced an ace; he cannot have the heart king.

West should see that he has one faint chance. He should cash the club ace (although it isn’t necessary in this deal), then lead his lowest spade.

East, who from the bidding knows his partner has six spades, should see what is required -- he ruffs with the heart eight. This uppercut promotes a trump trick for East-West.

Gia Mia in Geneva offers small plates, entrées, other items

By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, May 5, 2016

GENEVA – Brian Goewey was looking for the right opportunity.

He had already been part of an investment group for two restaurants but was on the fence about a location in his hometown of Geneva.

That opportunity presented itself, and – on March 16 – the second location of Gia Mia Pizza Bar opened.

“I was always hesitant, because I wasn’t sure if I wanted to work and play in the same area,” Goewey said.

“It’s always a big challenge opening a business in a town where you’re from, but it’s honestly been great so far. We’ve had so much support from friends and family, but also new faces constantly coming in. It’s been amazing and a really great opening.”

Located at 13 N. 3rd St., this is the second location for the restaurant, with the other located in Wheaton.

Goewey also has an investment is what he called a sister location of Gia Mia, Fire+Wine in Glen Ellyn, which opened in 2012. Goewey named Gia Mia after his daughter Gia, short for Gianna.

Goewey has learned that people love more than just his brick-oven, wood-fired pizzas. He sees the term “pizza bar” slightly misconceived.

“There’s no doubt that people love our pizzas,” Goewey said. “But it’s not just pizzas here. If you take a gander at the menu, only about 20 percent is pizza. The phrase ‘pizza bar’ is coined around the brick pizza oven located in the middle of the 15- to 20-seat bar.

But we have some amazing small plate items, great entrees and vegetable plates, as well.”

Goewey said that Gia Mia prides itself on buying top-quality ingredients, making an in-house mozzarella cheese and importing flour straight from Italy.

A few items that stick out to Goewey are small plate dishes like Veal Meatballs Polenta (hand-crafted meatballs with roasted tomato sauce, creamy polenta and basil) and Ricotta Honeycomb (whipped ricotta, evoo, seat salt, toast and wildflower honeycomb). As for the pizzas, the Pear Caramelized Onion (featuring roasted pears, onion, mozzarella gorgonzola, arugula and balsamic) is what he called “a crowd favorite.”

Friday and Saturday. n INFO: 630-405-5544 or giamiapizzabar.com In addition to the pizza bar, there are also 95 seats within the full dining room. Goewey said he hopes to have a patio area approved by the city of Geneva in time for Swedish Days (June 21 to 26) this summer.

With two Gia Mia locations now open, it hasn’t been easy for Goewey, constantly spending time each day at both, but when it’s something he’s passionate about, it doesn’t seem so bad.

“It’s what we do, you know,” Goewey said. “It’s 6:30 a.m. at Geneva, then 1 p.m. in Wheaton and 4 p.m. back at Geneva. We have great, young management at both locations that have really bought into the company’s vision. We are really fortunate to have great people that care about what we’re doing working for us.”

Being in downtown Geneva, he is starting to believe in the success when

he sees the doors flying open every day.

“It’s been great,” Goewey said.

“To kind of see everything ... coming into fruition and see all the support is awesome. We’ve put together this fun little quaint restaurant that somehow seems to fill up during every shift, every day. We’re just very grateful that the area has been so accepting and has supported us with open arms.”

The Cristina Paro Quartet, led by Galacia bagpiper Cristina Pato, will perform May 6 in Fermilab’s Ramsey Auditorium. Tickets are $29. The quartet features Victor Prieto on accordion, Edward Perez on double bass and Eric Doob on drums.

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – A celebrated and acclaimed gaita player is coming to Batavia, fresh off a West Coast tour with Yo-Yo Ma and his Silk Road Ensemble.

Cristina Pato will perform in Fermilab’s Ramsey Auditorium, located near Kirk Road and Pine Street in Batavia, at 8 p.m. May 7 as a member of the Cristina Pato Quartet. The quartet features Victor Prieto on accordion, Edward Perez on double bass and Eric Doob on drums.

A pop star of the gaita (Galician bagpipe) in her native Spain, Pato moved to New York to attain a doctorate and push her career in an entirely different direction.

Pato has combined her love of the gaita with a blend of jazz and Latin sounds, and her touring life includes a commitment to education and cultural exchange, according to her website. She was the first female gaita player to release a solo album, back in 1999, and is

also a classical pianist.

She is a member of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble and a founding member of its Leadership Council, collaborating closely for tours and planning residencies, including the multi-year partnership between The Silk Road Project and Harvard University.

Pato has been an active recording artist and performer since age 12 and has released six solo gaita recordings and two as a pianist. She has collaborated on more than 30 recordings as a guest artist, including the Grammy Award winning “Yo-Yo Ma and Friends: Songs of Joy and Peace,” and the Grammy-nominated Silk Road Ensemble album “Off the Map.” Pato has performed in over 600 shows with her quartet.

Tickets for the performance May 7 are $29 for adults and $18 for those ages 18 and younger and can be purchased by calling 630-840-2787 or visiting www. fnal.gov/culture.

on April 29 to showcase its talent, the band has performed at previous Kaneland events and will take the stage at 7 p.m. May 6 at the House Café in DeKalb.

Sophomore Gunnar Magnuson pulled double duty, playing with Remember the Future as well as the smaller outfit Equinox.

“It was kind of a strange night because we didn’t know if we were going to do a talent show or not, since the original date in March was canceled,” he said. “I was glad we were able to do it, though. It was a lot of fun.”

Magnuson showed off his saxophone talent, ripping a solo during his rendition of Gerry Rafferty’s late ’70s classic, “Baker Street,” while junior Sabrina Massa took over lead vocals for the band’s cover of Elle King’s “Ex’s & Oh’s.”

Approximately 250 people attended the show, which provided just a glimpse of the amount of talent that walks through the halls of Kaneland High School.

“It was a true collaboration of the students’ talents, and students supported each other, whether it be through moving equipment or helping each other’s performances,” Kaneland teacher and show sponsor Judy Fabrizius said. “It is a great opportunity for the community to see how Kaneland truly is a school full of talent.”

Cristina Pato Quartet to perform in Batavia

MAPLE PARK – Trevor Cannon wanted to show his classmates that he could sing and play the piano.

The Kaneland sophomore was a bit nervous when he started to perform a cover of Justin Bieber’s “Purpose” during the Kaneland High School talent show April 29, but it didn’t take long for that nervousness to subside and for his talent to take over.

Cannon was one of about 20 acts that were featured during the talent show at the high school in Maple Park.

“It was a fun night with a variety of entertainment,” Cannon said.

“I had never done something like this before, but I wanted to show them that I had talents that they didn’t know about. It went smoothly. I was nervous at first, but then when I was done, it was like, ‘Oh my gosh,’ because they were all clapping and cheering pretty loudly.”

The talent show offered an opportunity for Kaneland High School students to show off some of their talents.

Senior Dean Divizio’s band Remember the Future was one of the groups that performed. The band, which featured nearly a dozen players during the talent show, rattled off its interpretation of “Haitian Fight Song” by Charles Mingus.

“I think the audience really dug it, “ Divizio said. “I talked to a few people afterward who said they were really into it, which was nice to hear.”

Remember the Future isn’t a one-time deal, either. While the band was able to use the setting

St. Charles to host Civil War-themed event on May 7

By JON BELTRANO jbeltrano@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Camp Kane is ready to entertain residents with treasures from the city’s past.

The 8th Illinois Volunteer Cavalry Regiment will present a “Train the Troops” event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

May 7 at Camp Kane, located in Langum Park, which runs along Route 25 in St. Charles. Parking will be free and available in the park’s parking lot on Seventh Avenue. The event is sponsored by the Camp Kane Heritage Foundation, according to a press release.

The 55-member reenacting group will host the event to help train returning and new members for summer battle reenactments. The public is welcome to join or watch the cavalry prepare and practice. The foundation and cavalry are inviting families to bring their children along, pack a picnic and learn

about the history of the 8th and 17th Illinois volunteer cavalry regiments, said Bob Johnson, president of the 8th Illinois Volunteer Cavalry Regiment.

“There were only four active training camps,” Johnson said. “[About] 365,000 Illinois men trained at one of four training sites, and one of them was Camp Kane.”

Attendees may experience aspects of the training themselves. The exercises will be examples of what real Civil War recruits experienced. Activities will include various drills, such as firing, saber and marching; uniform and weapon inspections; and horse-mounted exercises. Replicas of the sibling tents, which housed 35 troops at a time and had a stove in the middle, will be displayed.

“Every year we have to get together as a unit to train in Civil War mechanics and troop movement – the same as Civil War troops – uniform check, weapon check and a lot of talk about the

history of the 8th,” Johnson said.

Johnson said the regiments trained at Camp Kane and were commissioned

by Col. John F. Farnsworth, a U.S. congressman, abolitionist and St. Charles resident. President Abraham Lincoln, a loyal friend of Farnsworth, permitted the action. He said Lincoln even referred to the 8th regiment as the Farnsworth Cavalry, and they were among those in the honor guard at Lincoln’s funeral.

“These men, whether they were Confederate or Union, they served because they believed in what they were doing, and we’re trying to keep that alive,” Johnson said.

The former history teacher has participated in Civil War reenactments alongside his son for the past six years. During the summers, he said, the regiment spends every weekend reenacting battles around the Midwest and eastern United States. They have

traveled to major battle arenas, such as Gettysburg.

“It’s hallowed ground to them,” Johnson said. “They’re here [at Camp Kane] portraying the men that actually trained here ... we try to get back to Camp Kane as much as we possibly can.”

The group has revisited the site for the past three years in order to draw more attention and interest to the historic grounds, said David Richards, foundation board member and marketing committee chairman.

Richards said the foundation has been trying to expand knowledge and awareness about Camp Kane – and the site’s historical context to St. Charles.

“Not many communities have that type of site with that historical connection, and we encourage ... more people to find out about it,” Richards said.

ELBURN – Don’t like being overwhelmed in a large restaurant? Or how about when there’s tons of items to choose from on a menu? Time consuming, right?

Sometimes small places are the best places. Eddie Gaedel Pub and Grill in Elburn is just that.

Named after the smallest player to ever appear in a Major League Baseball game, Eddie Gaedel is decorated with memorabilia from the man’s brief career, with the perfect-sized dining area and menu to boot. (Eddie Gaedel – the MLB player – was 3-foot-7.)

Upon entering for lunch one afternoon, my dining companion and I were welcomed and chose our own high-top table. Just above our table hung an Eddie Gaedel jersey and a television showing the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals game.

Within minutes, we were greeted with menus from the bartender, who put in our drink orders right away.

There were customers sitting at the bar, enjoying their time chatting amongst each other, as well as with the bartender, who was more than accommodating.

Behind the bar was the daily special menu and, with our visit coming on a Wednesday, the special was seafood day.

Add bearded and Siberian irises to your garden LEARNING TO GROW Jody Lay We all remember the bearded irises in our grandmothers’ gardens. They always seemed so easy to grow. You could divide them. They grew just about anywhere. And they were relatively low maintenance.

I have grown irises for years, but last summer I lost some of my favorite colors and varieties to iris borers. As I began researching how this happened and how to treat them, I discovered that irises can be more challenging than I thought.

Bearded irises, the most common variety and the traditional type that we see all over, can grow anywhere from 8 to 30 inches. With wide blades, the greenish-blue leaves usually fan out from the rhizome to create pointed, showy foliage. They like moist but well-drained soil, and they like to be planted close to the surface of the soil.

They should not be mulched to keep the rhizomes from rotting.

They bloom from June to July and make great cut flowers for arrangements. Pieces of the rhizome can be cut to transplant around your yard and share with friends. It’s best to

overcrowding. Unlike bearded irises, Siberian irises don’t typically have issues with iris borers, so they are less maintenance.

Iris borers look like grubs – long, fat worms that burrow through the rhizome, eating as they go. When I found my irises last summer, all that remained were little white piles of mush; they ate everything!

If iris borer damage is identified, plants must be dug and affected parts removed. Use a sharp knife and dip it in a diluted bleach solution between cuts. Pick out and destroy any borers you find as you dig.

After that whole incident, I researched borers and found out how I can prevent them. A systemic insecticide can be applied when the plants begin to bloom.

Geneva’s Gardenology event to celebrate horticulture

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – The eighth annual Gardenology Festival will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. May 14 on Third Street in Geneva, during which garden advisors and vendors will converge to celebrate horticulture.

The Geneva Garden Club hosts the event, which brought about 4,000 people to the downtown area last year, garden club president Debbie Notaro said.

Experts in every horticulture field – including landscape design, herbs, organic gardening and heirloom plants – will do presentations on ideas and products, Notaro said.

“Our goal is to excite people about gardening through an outdoor event and encourage them to garden for the enrichment of their lives and community,” Notaro said. “Attendance has been up the last two years … with Facebook and social media. We have people come at 10 a.m., and they’re still there at 4 p.m. … The day is just packed with people.”

Master gardeners, the Geneva Gar-

and garden education; Deb Krohn from Frog Lady Presentations and of “Animal Planet” fame, who will bring 35 animals; representatives from the Stillman Nature Center, who will bring live raptors; and Atala Toy from Crystal Life Technology in Geneva, who will talk about spirits of the wood.

The children’s tent, sponsored by Heinz Nursery, will be located at the corner of Third and Campbell streets.

It will feature various garden activities for children.

“Heinz nursery donates all the plants, and we provide the little flower pots,” Notaro said. “And then the garden club is going to have a craft for Photo provided them.”

Fairy storytimes are at 11 a.m. and Children learn how to plant a flower in a pot during last year’s Gardenology event in Geneva. Children’s activities will be expanded during this year’s May 14 Gardenology event, 2 p.m., and a ladybug release will take place at noon, as well as face painting which will feature horticulture and gardening information and vendors.

Besides the hard and fast cellphones-sleep-overnight-in-mom’s room edict, there aren’t a lot of rules in my house.

The sign perched above the kitchen sink reads, “If you drop it, pick it up; if you sleep in it, make it; if you open it, close it; if it rings, answer it; and if it cries, love it.” Simple enough.

Walk more to achieve weight loss Dear Dr. K: When I first started walking

for exercise, I lost some weight. Since then, my weight has plateaued. How can I adjust my walking routine to start losing weight again?

Dear Reader: To reignite your weight loss, you need to keep challenging your body. That means walking farther, faster and more often. The more vigorous your workout, the longer you’ll continue to burn calories after you stop exercising.

The number of calories you burn increases as you go faster. But despite what you might think, taking longer strides is not the best way to speed up. Rather, taking quicker steps with good posture (keeping your head up and not bending over) and proper technique (bending your arms and rolling your feet from heel to toe) are the foundation for improving your pace. Once you’ve mastered these basics, the following tips will help you turn up your speed even more: • Power your arm swing. Many people punch their arms forward when they walk. But you’ll get more speed and power if you focus on your back muscles.

Squeeze your shoulder blades and drive your elbows behind you, keeping them close to your body. Pull your arm back far enough so that your hand just passes your hip. Then let your arm swing naturally forward to chest height as you pull the other one back.

• Squeeze your glutes. Each time your heel strikes the ground, squeeze your buttock muscles. This technique naturally shortens your stride.

• Loosen up your hips. When you feel like you’re walking so fast that you want to run, it’s time to get your hips in on the action. You want your hips moving forward and backward • not side to side.

As your right leg steps forward, your

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff right hip should sway forward, and then back as your right leg extends behind you. It’s not a big movement.

• Count your steps for one minute at any point during your walk. Then speed up to see if you can take more steps during the next minute. The more steps you take, the faster you are going.

• Train for strength. Strong leg and buttock muscles power your stride, helping you to achieve higher speeds.

If you’re not up for going fast your entire walk, intervals are a good option.

Alternate fast walking for short periods of time with equal or longer intervals of slower or moderate-paced walking.

The basic idea is pretty obvious: More vigorous exercise leads to more weight loss.

What’s less obvious is that there are groups of muscles that many people don’t use during brisk walking. If you recruit them into your pattern of walking, you’ll use them more and thereby work harder.

Every time I talk about regular exercise, I emphasize that the goal is not just achieving a healthy weight.

I do think you’ll achieve your weightloss goals by altering your walking routine the way I describe above.

But if you don’t, you still will be greatly reducing your risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke and several kinds of cancer.

PUZZLE SOLUTION

CROSSWORD PUZZLE ANSWERS

hearted Mom Dear Mom: If you haven’t already, talk to Co-

ra’s therapist. There may be a medication that will help to lessen her intense social anxiety, or she may need a different therapist.

What’s going on between your daughter and her former best friend isn’t unusual. When romance intervenes, it is common for teenage girls to focus their attention and energy on the boyfriend and less on their girlfriends. Expecting this girl to be your daughter’s sole support system is unrealistic and unfair to the girl.

Because it is unlikely that Cora will find new friends in the context of school, continue to find outside activities that will give her something to do as well as contact with other teens. And, if Cora is open to it, you might consider having her volunteer at an animal rescue group or letting her adopt a pet from a shelter.

Dear Abby: A friend sent me a sample line of face care products from a company she works for. She included a lip balm I used, and sunscreen that contains a chemical to which I am allergic. I offered to send that sample back.

When I researched the ingredients of the other products, I was dismayed to see that they contain many chemicals, too. (I try to use organic products as much as possible because I have sensitive skin.) Should I return the whole unused sample kit? I obviously can’t return the lip balm. Or should I just thank her and keep -but not use -- them? These are high-end products from Europe, and she has been so “wowed” by them that she has become a consultant and is excited to promote them. – Return to Sender Dear R.T.S.?: Talk with your friend and thank her for her generosity, but explain that you are unable to use the products. Ask if she would like the unused products returned to her and take your cue from her. If she has had to pay for the products she’s representing, she may be glad to have them back to share with others.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 17, and although I’m not an angel, I’ve never done anything of a serious nature.

Recently, my parents went to a community “drug awareness” meeting. I guess they told them what signs to look for if a teen is taking drugs. Now I feel like a convict in prison instead of a teen living at home. They constantly search in my bedroom, ask me a bunch of questions like: “Why are your eyes red? Why are you always tired? Why are you getting a C in Math? Are you hanging around with kids who use drugs?”

I keep telling them that I’m not on drugs and neither are my friends, but this doesn’t seem to satisfy them. Sometimes I feel like trying drugs. If my parents think I’m a druggie, I might as well be one. – Nameless, Charlotte, N.C. Nameless: Your parents are

going through a phase in their “raising a family” responsibility.

The community drug meeting has caused them to overreact, but in time they will return to normal.

Trying drugs, just to spite your mom and dad, would be a very stupid move (as I’m sure you are aware).

If your parents continue their extra strenuous drug watch, you might discuss your problem with your school counselor. Some-

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace times an outside professional source can get parents back to thinking rationally rather than emotionally.

It’s important for parents to be aware of possible drug involvement by their teens, but it is also important for parents to use some wisdom and lots of discretion.

Dr. Wallace: Please print my letter. It’s very important to me that you do. I have a friend who is definitely anorexic. I’ve tried to talk her into eating more. She always says she will, but she doesn’t. She looks like a walking skeleton. My mother has contacted my friend’s mom, but was told that her daughter is just going through a phase and that “in time” she will snap out of it.

Please print the dangers of anorexia in your column as soon as you can. Sherry and I both read your column every day and discuss the teen problems and your answers. I want her mom to also see it so that she will see how dangerous it is and can do something about it. Please help and hurry! – Nicole, Milwaukee, Wis. Nicole: Indeed, anorexia nervosa (self-starvation) is an extremely serious eating disorder

and in the majority of situations professional psychological care is necessary.

The desire to be thin overpowers some young women to the point that they view themselves in the mirror as overweight even though they are extremely thin.

Ninety percent of all anorexic victims are females between the ages of 15 and 25. If anorexia is not overcome, death is not unusual.

Several years ago, Brazilian super-model Ana Reston was hospitalized because of a generalized infection. Ana started her modeling career at age 13 and was a highly popular model in Japan, China, South America, Turkey, Mexico and Canada. The 21-yearold model died of the infection that was caused by anorexia nervosa. The 5-foot, 8-inch super model weighed only 88 pounds on the day of her death.

Your friend’s mother must understand that eating disorders are not a part of a passing phase!

Enlist your mother’s help in convincing Sherry’s mother to get a medical evaluation for Sherry.

It is imperative that she gets professional help for her illness.

Do whatever you can to make it happen. She can’t do it by herself and needs the help of her friend – you.

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY My beautiful, kindhearted, Jeanne loving daughter Phillips “Cora” has a “best friend” she used to be very close with. However, her friend now has a boyfriend, so Cora doesn’t see her on weekends or receive texts from her very often anymore. Everything they plan to do together, the girl cancels. My daughter is so distraught that it is affecting her emotionally and physically. Cora has told her friend many times how she feels, but it has made no difference. Her friend promises her things and never follows through.

My daughter suffers from social anxiety, so making a good friend is a rarity for her. I tell her I love her and that I’m always here for her, but although Cora sees a therapist, nothing seems to comfort her.

The school she attends stops accepting new students after ninth grade, so there is no chance of her meeting anybody new. We have tried having her join other activities, but they don’t last.

I’m desperate to help her. Any advice? – Broken-

7 p.m. on % WMAQ Strong It’s an unspoken rule of reality competition shows that once you’re “out,” you’re not necessarily gone for good ... as is proven again by the new episode “Second Chances,” in which the contestants who have been eliminated thus far return to form a new team. Expectedly, feathers are ruffled by the situation, but matters become more serious physically for one contender who’s forced out by an injury. Gabrielle Reece is the host.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Grey’s Anatomy Callie and Arizona (Sara Ramirez, Jessica Capshaw) continue to have discord over plans for Sofia in the new episode “Mama Tried.”

However, there’s exciting news on the home front, since her daughter Stevie (Wallis Currie-Wood) gets engaged to Jareth (Christopher O’Shea). Tim Daly, Bebe Neuwirth and Geoffrey Arend also star.

7 p.m. on % WMAQ Little Big Shots It was a given that there would be a “Best of Little Big Shots” episode sooner or later, and since this show is only two months old, that new compilation comes sooner. Surely, there’s a lot to choose from, since host Steve Harvey (also an executive producer of the show, along with Ellen DeGeneres) already has showcased youngsters who can do everything from karate to classical music. Some of them hail from foreign lands such as China and Norway.

sional conference in South Africa, Inspector Kurt Wallander follows the trail of a Swedish woman who has disappeared. He’s led to a shooting range were someone is getting conditioned for a potentially tragic mission.

8:30 p.m. on % WMAQ Crowded Stella’s (Mia Serafino) romance yields results both exciting and not in the new episode “Daughter.” She’s thrilled to have gotten Mike (Patrick Warburton) much-desired tickets to a Pearl Jam concert through her beau — who Mike then learns is married, leaving him debating whether to tell her. Alice (Carlease Burke) gives Shea (Miranda Cosgrove) advice on affairs of the heart.

8:30 p.m. on @ WFLD The Last Man on Earth Tandy a.k.a. Phil’s (Will Forte) excitement over being reunited with his brother Mike (guest star Jason Sudeikis) leaves Todd (Mel Rodriguez) feeling like a third wheel in the new episode “Smart and Stupid.” Mike manages to be surprisingly effective in finding out things about Erica (Cleopatra Coleman) that the others never knew, for all the time she’s spent with them.

9 p.m. on ^ WBBM Elementary Morland (John Noble) remains in danger, and Holmes and Watson (Jonny Lee Miller, Lucy Liu) are right there with him, as the mystery series ends its fourth season with “A Difference in Kind.” Those bent on eliminating Morland are still out there, and they have global reach — and they’re also determined to get even with the detectives for interfering with the original plan.

Aidan Quinn and Jon Michael Hill also star.

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM Scorpion Though it’s not Halloween, it was when the members of Team Scorpion originally did some masquerading in “Super Fun Guys.” They go to Kazakhstan and the location of a movie that’s filming there, but as might be expected, serving as costumed extras for the picture isn’t their main mission. They’ve been dispatched to deactivate a nuclear missile that terrorists are trying to market. Peri Gilpin (“Frasier”) and Kevin Weisman (“Alias”) continue their guest roles.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Criminal Minds A felon with a medical background may be especially lethal, which is the worry for the team in “Future Perfect.” They fear their quarry may be interested in performing experiments, which means very bad things for his victims. Joe Mantegna, Thomas Gibson, Matthew Gray Gubler, A.J. Cook and Kirsten Vangsness star. Aisha Tyler continues her recurring role.

10:29 p.m. on % WMAQ Saturday Night Live Some may be familiar with Brie Larson mainly for her dramatic work, thanks principally to her Oscar-winning performance in “Room,” but she also played Amy Schumer’s sister in “Trainwreck” last year — and she flexes her comedic muscles again as guest host of this new episode.

If there’s any question of how excited she is about it, she merrily tweeted the news almost as soon as the booking was confirmed. Alicia Keys is the musical guest.

10:30 p.m. on @ WFLD Cooper Barrett’s Guide to Surviving Life Participating in a drug test for pay seems like a good idea to Cooper (Jack Cutmore-Scott) and his cash-strapped comrades, but someone quite unexpected — Paula Abdul, guest-starring as herself — interferes with their plans in “How to Survive Insufficient Funds.” The time Kelly (Meaghan Rath) spends with Leslie and Josh (Liza Lapira, Justin Bartha) has an unexpected, and uncomfortable, outcome. Charlie Saxton and James Earl also star.

middle-aged woman claims she’s expecting a child, but actually is covering for someone else — and is planning to oversee the birth at home, to the alarm of Trixie and Sister Mary Cynthia (Helen George, Bryony Hannah).

7 p.m. on @ WFLD The Simpsons Jay Leno voices his animated likeness in the new episode “To Courier With Love,” as Homer (voice of Dan Castellaneta) tries to find the lowest-cost way to fulfill his promise to Marge (voice of Julie Kavner) of a trip to Paris. To score a sizable discount, he agrees to bring a mysterious briefcase along on the family-oriented journey.

Nancy Cartwright (as Bart) and Yeardley Smith (as Lisa) also are in the voice cast.

7:30 p.m. on @ WFLD Bob’s Burgers The music group Boyz 4 Now is about to lose a member (voice of guest star Max Greenfield, “New Girl”), prompting Louise (voice of Kristen Schaal) to enter a contest to give Tina (voice of Dan Mintz) an opportunity to meet him, in the new episode “Bye Bye Boo Boo.” Bob and Linda’s (voices of H. Jon Benjamin and John Roberts) discovery of part of the restaurant’s history causes trouble with Jimmy Pesto (voice of guest star Jay Johnston).

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM The Good Wife One of television’s most-praised dramas brings down the curtain after seven seasons with its finale, aptly titled “End.” Emmy winner Julianna Margulies makes her last stand as Alicia Florrick, the wronged politician’s wife who resumed her law career, with many twists and turns along the way. Expect not only her immediate future to be determined here, but also those of Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski), Cary Agos (Matt Czuchry) and Eli Gold (Alan Cumming).

8 p.m. on _ WLS The Family Voting day arguably is the worst possible time for Claire (Joan Allen) to get more disturbing news, but so it is in the new episode “Election Day.” Willa (Alison Pill) comes forth with another revelation that supersedes any attention being paid to the numbers as they come in. Nina (Margot Bingham) has only a limited window of time left to be able to get the goods on her prime suspect, Doug (guest star Michael Esper). Liam James and Andrew McCarthy also star.
