EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK Kathy Balcazar

Teacher writes back

High school columnist Emma Chrusciel, a sophomore at Geneva High School, heard from a former instructor after her latest column, “Appreciating all kinds of teachers,” ran in the paper last week.

“I want to thank you for recognizing me as one of the teachers that made a difference in your life,” Dr.

Vicky Tusken wrote in an email to Emma. “You certainly will always be memorable to me. I will also say,

as one of your former ELA teachers, I was very proud of you in terms of how you continue to grow as a writer ... . The article was clear, while at the same time, painted a beautiful picture and sent an important message. I don’t know what your future [plans] hold, but I certainly hope writing resides somewhere in the center. ... Best wishes as you move forward in your life ... and thank you again for remembering me. It truly touched my heart.”

Thanks to Vicky for sending in feedback. Readers can send comments and questions to the paper at anytime using the email address editorial@ kcchronicle.com or the contact information at the end of this column.

By BEN DRAPER bdraper@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – It’s a common hope to leave something in better condition than you found it. With Batavia seniors leading the way into graduation season, having graduated May 18, one senior certainly went above and beyond in making BHS, and the community, a better place.

Alyssa Gao, 18, graduated BHS with the No. 1 class rank out of 478 seniors, scored a 35 on her ACT and boasts a perfect 4.375 GPA. An accomplished violinist, Gao also has many musical accomplishments.

“In the fall, I will attend Dartmouth College, where I will be majoring in environmental studies. My interest in environmental science stemmed from my childhood obsession with animals. When I was younger, I used to check out a pile of [Zoobooks] magazines from the library and spend hours poring over the vivid pictures. As I outgrew my childhood fantasies of becoming a zoologist, and Zoobooks were replaced with National Geographics, my interest began to expand past the animal kingdom,” she said.

Musically, she’s been a member of the Illinois Music Education Association district and honors state orchestras since seventh grade, including being concertmaster. She’s been concertmaster for the top ensemble of the Batavia Curricular Orchestras, and earned the National School Orchestra Award and many more honors and accomplishments. Gao has taken part in both the Elgin Youth Symphony and Chicago Youth Symphony orchestras, being selected to be co-concertmaster of the CYSO. BHS orchestra director Nathan Sackschewsky reflected on Gao’s community involvement and leadership.

“Alyssa is not only a talented student, but she also gives back to the community and to the [orchestra] program. She has been doing outreach concerts at some of the local nursing homes and volunteered to be one of our practice mentors for fifth- and sixthgrade students,” he said.

While juggling academic and musical commitments, Gao has earned more than just lines on a resume.

“Participation in various disciplines of music and at all levels has given me confidence in myself as well as in my ability to lead,” Gao said.

Dedicated to science and learning, Gao said her proudest accomplishment was when she founded the National

Batavia High School senior Alyssa Gao, who has been playing violin since she was 6 years old, received a 35 on her ACT test and will attend Dartmouth College in the fall.

“Participation in various disciplines of music and at all levels has given me confidence in myself as well as in my ability to lead.”

Alyssa Gao Recent Batavia High School graduate Science Honor Society chapter at BHS. “As someone who had taken many of the advanced science classes at my school, I noticed that the sciences are very underrepresented at BHS. I wanted to find a way to bolster the science department, encourage interest in science and recognize scientific thought.

I discovered the NSHS when I was researching high school science activities dedicated to science, and I was inspired,” she said.

Gao has taken many advanced placement courses and exams, but credits her first AP English teacher as being most influential.

“The most influential educator I had the privilege of learning from was Mrs. [Kimberly] Pearlman. I had her for AP language and composition my junior year, and then for advanced speech the

beginning of my senior year. Going into AP language, I was incredibly nervous. It is the first AP English class every Batavia high school student takes, and it is quite the jump from freshman and sophomore honors English. Mrs. Pearlman helped bridge the gap between underclassmen classes to upperclassmen classes, and definitely helped ease my transition into those critical years of high school.

Pearlman was equally impressed with Gao. “As a teacher, there are students we instruct, others that we push, and there are those that we start as a guide and end up following along as an observer because the student has taken the lead. Alyssa falls in the last category, and it was an absolute pleasure to watch her take the lead and find her

power and voice both as a writer and as speaker,” Pearlman said.

Gao credits her time at BHS in preparing her for whatever the future holds.

“Batavia has definitely played a tremendous role in shaping who I am today. There is a distinct culture that forms with each class of students. It is a complex system that relies on the social dynamic and interaction of the student. Each student becomes an agent of change who will make their impact on the culture of our society as it evolves,” she said. “Interacting with my peers on a daily basis served to challenge my insights about the world and broaden my horizons. I was introduced to students with diverse opinions and ways of life, which supported my understanding of the differences and similarities that contribute to the composition of our society.”

BHS Principal JoAnne Smith described Gao as a fantastic example to her peers of hard work and perseverance.

“I know she will be successful at Dartmouth and beyond. I wish her the absolute best,” Smith said.

THE VALUE OF TREES Women’s Club looks to raise funds for Batavia Arboretum

By SUSAN O’NEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – The Batavia Women’s Club wants residents to understand the value trees bring to people’s lives.

Two years ago, when the Batavia School Board began talking about demolishing the Batavia High School Arboretum to make room for additional sports fields, the Batavia Women’s Club began a campaign to raise community awareness of the value of trees.

The newly created Value of Trees Committee identified and tagged 129 trees throughout the community with information about each tree’s contribution in terms of carbon reduction, increased property value, air quality and energy reduction. The tags remained on the trees for one month, and the group reportedly has received a lot of positive feedback about the project.

The school board since has tabled the plans to demolish the arboretum and has told the VOT Committee it can move forward with its plans for the arboretum. According to Batavia School District Superintendent Lisa Hichens, the board

Two years ago, when the Batavia School Board began talking about demolishing the Batavia High School Arboretum to make room for additional sports fields, the Batavia Women’s Club began a campaign to raise community awareness of the value of trees.

“The more we get involved in the project, the more passionate we all become about it.”

Rosemary Henders, Value of Trees Committee co-chair will give its formal approval when the VOT Committee comes back with its detailed plans for the installation.

The arboretum was created during the mid- to late 1960s under the guidance of Batavia High School biology teacher Jim Hoover, when 50 trees were planted to memorialize a number of individuals and groups.

The trees represented each of the species growing in the Bata-

via community at the time.

VOT Committee co-chair Rosemary Henders said they would like to complete what Hoover began 50 years ago.

Their plan is to create signage for each of the trees, specifying Photos by Ben Draper - bdraper@shawmedia.com the genus and species, as well as a permanent sign listing the Ellen Hamilton (left) and Rosemary Henders stroll through the Batavia names of each person in whose Arboretum on May 16. Henders is part of the Batavia Women’s Club and its efforts to preserve the arboretum. Hamilton’s son, Andrew, had two name the trees were planted.

Thanks to Google, Batavia students take virtual field trips

By BEN DRAPER bdraper@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Art teacher Jenna McKnight stood in the middle of more than 20 fidgety eighth-graders. Tablet in hand, she talked about 5 Pointz in the New York City borough of Queens, directing the students’ attention to the various graffiti-laden walls.

An abandoned building where graffiti artists could legally tag, 5 Pointz was torn Ben Draper - bdraper@shawmedia.com down in 2014. But students in Rotolo Middle School art teacher Jenna McKnight leads her class of McKnights’ class experienced eighth-graders through a virtual tour using Google’s Cardboard and the urban art mecca in all its Google Expeditions app. The Batavia school is one of 60 schools that former glory, thanks to a visiting Google representative. got to beta test the application, which will be available this fall.

The Google Expeditions Roadshow stopped at Rotolo Middle School on May 16. Rotolo was one of just 60 schools chosen to beta test the Google Expeditions app, coupled with Google Cardboard, a virtual reality headset.

Expeditions is a virtual reality platform built for the classroom. Google worked with teachers and content partners from around the world to create more than 150 journeys – making it possible to immerse students in entirely new experiences, according to the Expeditions website.

The program is expected to officially launch in the fall.

Two Rotolo teachers, Jennifer Duffy and Bridget Schmitt, were essential in getting the Google Expedition Roadshow to stop in Batavia.

“We went to the Illinois Computing Educators conference in February, and Bridget and I went to a session for Google Expeditions,” Duffy said.

“We got an email a couple weeks ago [from Google] saying, ‘We’re going to be in your area, and we’d like to come the week of the May 16,’ so Bridget and I scrambled to make it all work, knowing it would be a really great opportunity.”

“The students have loved it.

We’ve gotten to go to Antarctica, the Amazon, the moon – just a whole variety of places, which has been really cool.

It takes really abstract things, especially in science, and makes them concrete.”

Schmitt, who co-teaches with Duffy, explained that the students get to take virtual field trips to locations that a bus might not be able to go.

“The students have loved it. We’ve gotten to go to Antarctica, the Amazon, the moon – just a whole variety of places, which has been really cool,” Schmitt said. “It takes really abstract things, especially in science, and Bridget Schmitt makes them concrete.”

Rotolo Middle School teacher Duffy thought the VR experience could have real value in the classroom.

West Chicago-based Davey Tree Service arborist Steve Matravers will provide the tags for the trees. Matravers said that his hope is for the arboretum to be used to its full potential as a teaching tool for the community, as well as a recruiting tool to generate students’ interest in careers in horticulture, arboriculture and urban forestry.

Matravers said the trees planted in the arboretum are great examples of how to plant a tree correctly, at just the right depth and in good soil, for the trees to continue to be naturally healthy.

In addition, the stand of trees provides the only shade in the area.

“It’s a neat little chunk of property,” he said.

Henders said that the VOT Committee currently is attempting to complete the list of people and groups for whom the trees were planted.

Although the records are somewhat sketchy, Henders said they have identified about half of the people memorialized by the trees, as well as the donors who purchased them.

She said they also would love to be able to locate Hoover, if he still is alive, and to include him in the dedication ceremony.

The group has just started its fundraising campaign for the project, which Henders estimates will cost about $2,000.

“The more we get involved in the project, the more passionate we all become about it,” she said.

Batavia taps TIF money for building renovation

By MARK FOSTER editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – The North River Street commercial district in downtown Batavia soon will host two new businesses behind a unified façade in a freshly remodeled building.

City aldermen approved an $83,500 incentive package for the owners of the building at 27-29 N. River St. during the regular meeting of the Batavia City Council on May 16.

“I like the message we are sending by doing this,” Mayor Jeff Schielke said. “I like the positive synergy.”

Renovation work already is underway on the interior of the building to make way for Bar Evolution at 27 N. River St. and The Tea Tree at 29 N. River St. The two spaces share a common entryway and vestibule.

Building owners Bruce and Mary Claire Harris plan to replace the existing glass atrium façade, install a metal roof, perform masonry work and repaint the building at a total cost of about $108,500.

Under the financial agreement, the Harrises will receive a $25,000 grant and a $58,500 low-interest loan from the city’s tax increment financing district

Officials consider ordinance to regulate massage businesses

By MARK FOSTER editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – City officials are close to bringing forward a proposed ordinance for licensing and regulating massage establishments.

The ordinance was already in the works when police made arrests on charges of misdemeanor prostitution at two Batavia massage businesses May 12.

Last month, city aldermen tabled a proposal for a new massage establishment in the downtown and instead decided to investigate how to more tightly regulate such businesses.

The proposed ordinance is expected to be discussed at the Batavia City Council’s Committee of the Whole meeting May 24.

Details are still being ironed out, but the key to the ordinance will be a requirement that massage establish-

ments secure a city “facility permit,” police Chief Gary Schira said.

Illinois law already requires persons who actually administer massages to have a state license.

The ordinance will make provision for compliance checks by police, Schira said, much the same way police conduct checks to ensure that retail stores and taverns do not sell alcohol or tobacco to underage buyers.

Massage business employees soliciting or performing illicit acts would be charged criminally, Schira said, while the business would be subject to an administrative hearing before the mayor, who could impose fines, suspend the facility permit or revoke it altogether.

City Administrator Bill McGrath said obtaining the city facility permit would require payment of a fee but that the fee would be “nominal,” probably no more than $100.

fund, city economic development consultant Chris Aiston said.

The loan’s interest rate is being set at 2.75 percent, with the loan to be paid off over a five-year period, Aiston said.

In a TIF district, property tax payments to units of local government are frozen, and any additional tax revenue generated by increased value is placed in a fund designed to cover public improvements.

Local restaurateur John Hamel, owner of the neighboring Pal Joey’s, will be opening Bar Evolution as a piano bar, while Melissa Hartmann’s The

Tea Tree will be a retail shop specializing in loose-leaf tea, spices, oils, soaps, candles and other accessories.

Both businesses are expected to open in June.

Last month, aldermen approved a $9,500 grant for The Tee Tree to cover half the cost of the installation of a grease trap as mandated by the Kane County Health Department.

Aldermen approved the grant and the loan for the Harris couple on a 13-1 vote, with 5th Ward Alderman Kevin Botterman, the lone no vote, saying he believes that “the amount is excessive.”

Future plans As we were escorted into the Batavia Fine Arts Centre, it took me a minute to realize we were actually escorted directly onto the stage. The stage had been transformed into a reality television studio with audience seating on removable bleachers.

The dramatic lights and the music started up, and – soon after – the first of four groups of Batavia High School students began their pitches as part of the INCubator Entrepreneurship Program’s Pitch Night. The event was based off the “Shark Tank” television show.

I was so impressed with the students’ ideas and passion for the products and services they were promoting, and I wish them all luck for the future.

It is unknown at this point who took the photo, but it is certainly still relevant today. Prior to the Black Hawk War, the Native-American tribe of the same name called the land around the river its home. Preceding even the Pottawatomie people, there was an earlier tribe simply called the Fox (lending the river its name).

From its inception in the 1890s, Pottawatomie Park – and the Fox River – is an area that continues to be a beacon of recreation and relaxation.

Sugar Grove resident gets award at art competition Aurora Christian student Jacqueline Hilger receives honorable mention at event KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren on May 6 announced the 14th District winner and honorary mentions for the 2016 Congressional Art Competition.

According to a news release, a winner and three honorable mentions were selected from 28 entries in this year’s Congressional Art Competition. Sugar Grove resident Jacqueline Hilger, who attends Aurora Christian High School, received an honorable mention from Hultgren for her piece “Wildest Dreams,” a pen drawing of a giraffe.

“We had a fantastic group of participants this year, and I encourage everyone to look at the gallery of participants,”

Hultgren said in the release. “I look forward to see how these students will use their talents in future careers, for personal enjoyment and for the good of the community.”

The art competition is an annual contest held by the Congressional Institute and is open to student artists who reside in the 14th Congressional District. Since 1982, the competition has judged hundreds of thousands of high school students, the release stated.

Last year’s winner, Batavia resident Drake Swift, won the competition with his piece “Fear Not,” a white charcoal and graphite drawing of a lion’s head.

This year’s announcement ceremony and gallery display were hosted at an evening reception at Oswego High School. The event featured music from the school’s jazz ensemble and food provided by their Culinary Arts Department.

By turning off all the other lights in the room and the adjacent lobby we were able to keep the majority of bees within about four feet of our south-facing windows.

After making sure the tube was firmly reattached to the hive, we began our next mission: capturing the bees on the glass and taking them outside. Although the task at first appeared daunting, it ended up being pretty painless. Stinging, we found, was the furthest thing from the bees’ minds. Somewhat dazed and no doubt confused, they climbed placidly onto our fingers and hands. All we then had to do was walk them outside and place them on flowers, where they could recharge and reorient then fly themselves back to the outside entrance of their hive.

IS YOUR CENTRAL VISION BLURRY OR CROOKED?

SM-CL0350917

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.

Bruce Heidlauf (from left), Bridgett Syzdek and Sarah Traven stand with a paddleboard.

Traven started SJ Paddle Boards, selling the boards. Heidlauf, who owns Mill Race Cyclery in Geneva, will begin offering Traven’s paddleboards for sale or rent Memorial Day weekend. Syzdek will teach a yoga class to people standing on the paddleboards July 4 at Island Park in Geneva.

bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – For the athletically inclined, standing on a paddleboard atop lakes or rivers might be a perfect combination of fun and exercise.

Sara J. Traven of Geneva said she has watched people use paddleboards on Lake Michigan, Lake Geneva, Crystal Lake and on rivers.

“It’s geared more toward flat water,” Traven said of paddleboarding. “But people can still do it when it’s choppy – it’s just a little bit harder.”

Traven started her company, SJ Paddle Boards, in the fall and sells the boards through her website, www. sjpaddleboards.com.

Starting Memorial Day weekend, the paddleboards will be available both for sale and as rentals at the Mill Race Cyclery, 11 E. State St., Geneva.

Traven, 35, said she has a finance degree and previously worked in that field until deciding to start her first company.

“We would go out to visit our friends in California and we loved doing [paddleboards] on the ocean,” Traven said. “When we were living in downtown Chicago, we wondered why isn’t this big in the Midwest?”

In her research, Traven said she found the technology for inflatable paddleboards improved, making it more feasi-

ble for sales and rentals.

“You do not want to store an 11-foot board in your garage or tiny little condo when you can only use it for six months of the year,” Traven said.

Her inflatable paddleboards weigh 30 pounds deflated and roll up in a bag. The paddle breaks down into three pieces that also fits into the bag, Traven said.

“The inflatables are as hard as a car tire,” Traven said. “To puncture them, you’d need to take a knife and stab them.”

Paddleboards cost $900 to buy, but Traven said through her partnership with the Mill Race Cyclery, a prospective buyer can rent them and try them out on the Fox River.

Cyclery owner Bruce Heidlauf said he tried out one of the paddleboards on the river.

“It’s really fun and very good exercise,” Heidlauf said. “You have to use your core strength while paddling. … I started above the dam and went to St. Charles and back. The water does not have a lot of current; it’s pretty still. It was fun.”

Traven said on July 4 she will be offering yoga classes on paddleboards at Island Park in Geneva but with the boards tethered so they don’t flow downriver. Participants can sign up on the Mill Race Cyclery website, millrace.com, she said.

Bridgett Syzdek of St. Charles is scheduled to teach yoga on the paddleboards, Traven said.

By SUZANNE FLYNN editorial@kcchronicle.com Emily Strong was just 3 years old when she realized she wanted to be a hairstylist for a living, thanks to learning how to braid from her baby sitter’s daughters. And by the time Strong was 5, she was French braiding.

Fast-forward to Strong’s high school years and beyond, when she worked as an assistant at Robert Allen Salon until she received a degree from Pivot Point in Bloomingdale.

She then worked in several different salons before opening Emily Kay Salon in 2011.

“I always knew I wanted to work for myself,” Strong said. “And I wanted to offer my clients quality products and quality service without having to drive far for it.”

With her salon’s five-year lease up, it was time for a change.

“This move is just an economical one for me,” Strong said. “Nothing else was really driving it.”

Emily Kay Salon will close May 28 at its current location and open at its new location in the old Keck’s grocery store building, 231 Main St., Sugar Grove. With the new digs will come a new name for Strong’s business: Sugar Suites Salon.

“The new salon will be an open concept,” she said. “All the stylists will have their own schedules, their own phone

Sugar Grove ■ INFO: 630-466-8600 numbers and their own prices. My partner Kristin Pacifici and I will just be giving them a place to do their own thing.”

Strong said there still are a few stylist chairs available for rent at the new location if anyone is interested. For information, call 630-466-8600.

Sugar Suites Salon’s days of operation will be Tuesday through Saturday and will vary by stylist. The salon will offer hair services, waxing, manicures and facial services.

“We hope to be able to offer massage therapy services in the near future as well,” Strong said. “My clients can expect the same great quality of product, services and friendly faces they’ve come to know and love at Emily Kay Salon. We’ll just be at a new address and with a new name above the door.”

Sugar Suites Salon will host an open house from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 30, the weekend of the Sugar Grove Corn Boil. Residents that day can stop by and check out the new salon as well as enjoy refreshments and raffles.

St. Charles resident shares passion for martial arts through new school

By ASHLEY SLOBODA

Know more

asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – To say Jeff Burhop is passionate about the martial arts might be an understatement.

The 46-year-old St. Charles resident said he got his start through a St. Charles Park District program at age 11, and he has spent the past 31 years traveling the world to learn and teach martial arts.

“I absolutely fell in love with it,” he said.

Now he’s offering almost daily chances for people – kids, teens, adults and families – to learn from him.

He recently opened his own school, Burhop Martial Arts, in St. Charles. The school, which is in Unit 5 at 720 N. 17th St., includes instruction in the use of pressure points, joint manipulation, weapons and sparring.

For information, visit www.burhopmartialarts. com.

Because he works a day job in IT, his martial arts classes meet at night from 6 to 9 p.m.

Monday through Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.

Burhop offers new students a week of free classes before charging a monthly fee, which includes unlimited classes. The cost is $125 for the first family member, $75 for the second family member and $25 for the third family member, so the most a family would pay is $225 a month.

“It’s not about the money,” Burhop said. “It’s about teaching. I love doing it.”

He stressed that his school doesn’t prioritize trophies or

competitions.

“We’re not like that here,” Burhop said.

Instead, he said, the focus is on self-defense and protection and empowering students.

Students also may acquire confidence, discipline, respect and honor – skills that can be applied at school and the workplace, Burhop said.

Many parents want their kids to learn martial arts so they can defend and stand up for themselves, Burhop said.

Noting he treats the school like a family, Burhop said he wants his younger students to be friends with each other so they can come to one another’s aid if they encounter bullying elsewhere. He has a no-bullying policy, he said.

Walk-ins are welcome, Burhop said.

Burhop can be contacted at jburhop@sbcglobal.net or 630386-3728.

OBITUARIES EDWARD C. BERRY Born: December 27, 1927 Died: May 9, 2016

Edward C. Berry, of Whitehall, MI, formerly of Elburn, Wayne, and Chicago, IL, died on May 9, 2016.

He was born in Oak Park, IL to Dorothy Alvey and George Martin Berry. Growing up in Roselle and Oak Park during the Depression, Ed worked many jobs as a boy that shaped his interests as a man: golf caddy at 11, soda jerk, newspaper delivery boy, salesman, and ice cream factory worker as a teenager.

Ed graduated from Oak Park High School in June 1945, proud JV football captain and enthusiastic singer of its fight song. He attended Indiana University, with a break to serve in the US Army, graduating in 1950 with a degree in business.

After passing the CPA exam in 1953, Ed worked in executive positions in several Chicago area businesses, among them Dunbar Kapple, Monitor, Katie Industries and Monroe Industries, as well as the Newport Corporation. He also served his community as Trustee, then Village President, of both Elburn (1970-1977), and of Wayne (1987-1995).

Ed met the love of his life, Jeanne Ferris, in June 1952. “Sparks flew,” and two weeks later they were engaged. Married that November, they embarked on a life of raising nine children, traveling the world, and enjoying many adventures. Central to their family life were summers at White Lake, Michigan, which became a second home and gathering place to four generations of Berrys, extended family, and many friends.

Ed loved his family and friends, and he embraced life with great gusto and strong opinion.

Whether photography, golf or ice cream, politics, Scotch, or the Chicago Symphony, Ed embraced it with intense focus and great generosity.

Ed leaves behind his beloved wife of 64 years, Jeanne Ferris Berry; his children, Ted (Penny) Berry, Chris (Jeanne) Berry, Mark (Kathy) Berry, Valerie Berry, Sara Berry, Jennifer (Carter) Calloway, Margaret (Greg) Edwards, and Michelle Berry; his sisters, Valerie (Clyde) Schoenneman, and Diane (Joe) DeMonte; and his brother, George (Laurie) Berry; as well as 16 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his sister, Lou (Bert) Anderson; his son, Eric Berry; and his grandsons, Aaron Berry and Phillip Berry.

There will be memorial Mass at 11 a.m. June 11, 2016, at St. James Catholic Church, Montague, with a visitation starting at 10 a.m.

The Berry family would like to express heartfelt thanks to the loving caregivers who helped Ed through his illness, and to Harbor Hospice of Muskegon.

Golden anniversary for trolley museum Special events planned during 50th season

By BEN DRAPER bdraper@shawmedia.com SOUTH ELGIN – The year 2016 marks the golden anniversary for a piece of local history with roots dating back more than 50 years.

The Fox River Trolley Museum, located at 365 S. La Fox St., South Elgin, is open 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. Sundays through Oct. 30, as well as Saturdays between July 2 and Sept. 3, and Oct. 15 and 22. The museum is also open on major holidays.

Opened in 1966, the museum began its 50th anniversary season May 8 with a Mother’s Day celebration where moms got to ride for free with a paid child’s fare. Each mom received a red carnation, too.

Debbie Visenti of St. Charles was visiting the museum with her son, Deegan, 8, and daughter, Raya, 5, on Mother’s Day. “[My son] loves trains and trucks and all that good stuff,” she said. “A couple weeks ago, he said, ‘I want to go to the Fox River Trolley Museum,’ because we hadn’t come in a couple years. So I looked online and saw they open on Mother’s Day, and I get to ride free, so even better.”

On the museum’s first-ever day, July 4, 1966, volunteers set up a table under a shade tree and offered rides for 50 cents. Today, a ticket station exists, and rides are $4 for adults, $3 for seniors and $2 for children 3 to 11 years old.

The trolley ride features a mile and a half of track along the Fox River from the museum to the John Duerr Forest Preserve. The extension to the forest preserve was completed in 2002.

“We like to tell people we’re not only the oldest operating electric railroad in the state of Illinois, [but] we’re the newest,” said Edward Konecki, 2016 president of the Fox River Trolley Museum.

With gorgeous weather on Mother’s Day, enjoying time outside at the Fox River Trolley Museum seemed easy.

The museum is open rain or shine all season and offers plenty of options even when the weather doesn’t cooperate.

“We have the cars that are open – the caboose, car No. 20, the car at the platform – would all be open for inspection.

The cars for the ride are waterproof and weatherproof,” Konecki said.

Volunteer Jeff Bennett was operating car No. 20 on May 8, taking a packed car of families to and from the

Bennett, of Elgin, began volunteering at the museum more than five years ago with his daughter, Rylee.

“When I had my daughter, who is Fox River Trolley Museum volunteer now 10 and also an active volunteer at the museum, we started to come back Jeff Bennett of Elgin readies for a out,” Bennett said. “She’s normally out here and knows much more about return trip to the museum from the these trolleys than most people, and John Duerr Forest she’ll sit there and discuss that with Preserve in South the passengers going up and down.

“Been there, done that...”

I hate to admit it and probably shouldn’t but I don’t like to clean and tend a yard. I’ll be honest; I have better things to do with my time. I would rather travel, visit with friends, take long walks and pursue my other interests. I love everything that Oak Crest offers and my family and I are especially appreciative that Oak Crest has taken much of the work and worry out of my future. Been there, done that pretty much sums up life before Oak Crest.

Haven’t been there, haven’t done it yet sums up life now. Come and enjoy the Oak Crest experience.

Campton Hills teen dies after May 13 accident KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com CAMPTON HILLS – A 17-year-old Campton Hills boy died May 16, three days after suffering injuries in a single-car accident at the parking lot of his school, Marmion Academy in Aurora, according to a press release from the Aurora Police Department.

Stephen J. Woodcock, of the 4N300 block of Booth Tarkington Street, was riding on the passenger side running board and holding onto the exterior of a 2011 Acura MDX about 3:45 p.m.

May 13 in the school’s north parking lot when he apparently lost his grip during a turn, the release stated.

The teen fell backward and struck the pavement, suffering injuries – in-

Judge convicts Campton Hills man in Delnor Hospital incident KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – A Campton Hills man who last year prompted a temporary lockdown at Delnor Hospital was convicted May 12 of multiple charges in the incident, which included him attacking and choking a family member while they were visiting a sick relative, according to a news release from the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Justin B. Patzer, 31, was convicted of felony armed violence, felony aggravated domestic battery, misdemeanor domestic battery and misdemeanor aggravated assault by Circuit Judge D.J. Tegeler after a two-day bench trial, the release stated.

“Mr. Patzer’s violent act was the result of his decision to carry his vendetta against a relative into the public,” State’s Attorney Joe McMahon stated in the release.

“Because of his attack, Delnor Hospital had to be placed on lockdown, interrupting the hospital’s daily work, until authorities could determine that Mr. Patzer was no longer a threat to the victim or anyone else. This con-

viction is a loud and clear message that there are better ways to resolve disputes.”

Prosecutors presented evidence that on Jan. 27, 2015, family Justin B. members were visiting Patzer a relative in intensive care at the Geneva hospital when Patzer arrived and attacked the victim, with whom he had argued on social media. The release indicated Patzer grabbed the victim by the throat, impeding his breathing, and the two were separated by another relative.

“Patzer then brandished a folding knife, made threats and ran off, leaving the hospital,” the release stated.

Patzer is expected in court July 8 for motions and sentencing. The release noted he faces a 10- to 30-year sentence.

According to the May 13 release, he remained in custody at the Kane County jail, and his bond was revoked upon conviction.

Kane County Assistant State’s Attorneys Megan Baxter and David Belshan prosecuted the case.

cluding those to his head – the release stated.

He was airlifted directly to Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove after receiving initial treatment at the scene by Aurora Fire Department paramedics, the release stated.

The release indicated the driver, Marmion student Jerin Martin, had

been driving about 10 mph.

Martin, 18, of the 3000 block of Elleby Court, North Aurora, was cited with reckless driving, the release stated.

A preliminary investigation by the Aurora Police Traffic Division showed no signs of driver impairment, the release stated. The release noted the investigation is continuing and other charges have not been ruled out.

Geneva police charge man with biting, kicking officer

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – A Chicago man was charged with three felonies after police said he bit and kicked one officer and tried to punch another officer May 1, police reports stated.

Ernest W. Pentek, 37, of the 2600 block of North Burling St., Chicago, was charged with aggravated battery of a police officer, resisting and obstructing a police officer and resisting and obstructing a police officer causing injury, all felonies.

Pentek also was charged with misdemeanor aggravated assault on a police officer and public intoxication, police reports stated.

As of May 13, Pentek was being held in the Kane County jail on $20,000 bond. His next court date is scheduled for May 18, records show.

The felonies carry a penalty of two to seven years in prison and fines up to $25,000, if there is a conviction.

Police reports stated officers were called to a disturbance of 30 to 50 people between the sidewalk and parking

lot in front of The Dam Bar, 65 N. River Lane, Geneva, at 12:25 a.m.

May 1.

Pentek walked toward police in an aggressive manner, yelled Ernest W. at them and balled his Pentek hands into fists when officers told him to be quiet and step back, reports stated.

Pentek was told if he would not be quiet and step back so officers could talk to others, he would be under arrest for public intoxication, reports stated.

When Pentek did not comply, an officer grabbed his left wrist and told him he was under arrest for public intoxication, reports stated.

Pentek then pulled away from the officer and swung his right arm toward the officer’s head with a closed fist, reports stated.

After two officers tried to get Pentek under control, he bit an officer in the right calf and kicked him in the left leg, causing broken skin, redness and bruising, reports stated.

Kane County committee adds stipulations to M.A. Center’s plans

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com GENEVA – The religious organization that has taken over the former Broadview Academy property must wait another month for a Kane County committee’s recommendation concerning its long-range plan to improve the site with features such as additional housing and a Montessori school.

Over the next 10 to 15 years, the Mata Amritanandayami Center – or M.A. Center – wants to add 72 duplex units, 192 temporary residential

units, a spiritual hub and – among other structures – a renovated farm stand to its property at 41W501 Keslinger Road in Blackberry Township near Elburn.

The proposed changes require Kane County Board approval to amend the property’s existing special use.

The Kane County Development Committee on May 17 heard from citizens concerned about potential tax exemptions for portions of the property, as well as the proposed temporary housing, which was described in some instances as apartments.

Attorney Peter Storm said he represented three adjacent property owners concerned about those residential buildings and the structures’ impact on their properties in terms of marketability and overall enjoyment.

“We have skipped over an important part of this,” Storm said. “And that is whether or not the requested uses are permitted special uses by the zoning ordinance.”

Another nearby resident asked the committee to table the matter for 60 or 90 days so the public could develop a rebuttal to the proposal.

The committee tabled the matter to its June meeting to give M.A. Center representatives and county staff time to put two stipulations in writing.

The stipulations, which arose at the meeting, place height restrictions on the residential buildings and prohibit occupants of the temporary housing from attending Kaneland School District 302.

Noting the property is in his district, committee member Drew Frasz, R-Elburn, said it has been “really fun to see it come back to life” under the M.A. Center’s ownership.

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

A message to high school graduates Dear Class of 2016 high school graduates: Congratulations! You’ve arrived at the conclusion of a journey that began your first day of kindergarten or – perhaps – preschool, continued through the long and winding years of elementary and middle school and rounded out through four whirlwind years of high school.

Soon, all the countless hours you spent doing homework, studying for exams and participating in extracurricular activities will pay off as you receive that long-awaited diploma and take many, many pictures with your friends and family. Soak it all in – these are the fruits of a job well done. The idea of graduation day has been depicted in countless films and has inspired plenty of famous songs, and you’ll understand why as soon as you’re part of an actual ceremony: It looks and feels epic, and few things are as exhilarating as tossing your cap as high as possible to celebrate such a momentous achievement as graduating high school.

Of course, while it’s easy to feel like you’ve reached the pinnacle of the mountain on graduation day, the reality is that your life has only just begun at that point – in many ways, the end of high school is where life officially kicks off. That might seem far-fetched right now, but give it 10 years or so. Things will change. You’ll see!

You and your graduating class represent the future. Right now, the Class of 2016 is an untapped well of great potential, and it’s up to you to fulfill said potential within you and do even greater things. How to do that? Well, once graduation day is in the rearview mirror, you’ll likely embark on perhaps the most triumphant summer of your young life – the one where another year of high school isn’t waiting for you at the end of August – and then you’ll almost certainly prepare for the next big challenge in your life: college.

College is where the concept of responsibility will really come into play, and it will be up to you to get the most out of your collegiate experience (should you choose to enjoy one). Make lots of friends, make smart choices and make a lifetime’s worth of memories during college.

In the meantime, enjoy the next few days, months and years and realize that with hard work, determination and a polished sense of accountability, you’ll be well on your way to living up to all the hopes and dreams your parents had for you on your first day of school. Everything comes full circle, right?

Congratulations again to the Class of 2016.

May your graduating class be the best and most successful yet.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Fertilizer step No. 1 – Apply before July Have you ever tried to decode, then follow, the directions on a bag of lawn fertilizer? Well, I have, and survived a year in the psych ward to tell about it.

Some typical application specifications: “Mow lawn 76 hours before applying Green Grows the Grass Lawn Food and Serial Weed Killer. Spread only with a Mattoon, Ill., factory-generated Green Grows Spreader, serial numbers 10728501 through 83072086. Set ‘Throw Range’ dial to 7.5602 and a half. Apply when lawn is dry. And dry means dry, you idiot! Morning dew is wet!!!

Apply three days after a light drizzle with intermittent (two hours and 43 minutes apart) thunderstorms. Post-application, soak lawn thoroughly for six days, resting on the seventh, with a copper or brass (not silver) hose nozzle tuned to ‘Spray Misty for Me.’ For short-hitters who require sleep and depend on nature, do not apply until 83 millennia of moist, inclement weather is forecast such as found in Seattle.”

By early March, up and down our block, lawn aficionados

RIVER TOWN CHRONICLES Rick Holinger stare into computer screens like the Evil Queen into her mirror as if demanding to hear whose lawn is fairest in the land. They analyze weather patterns and radar spillage across the Midwest – all for naught because nature abhors the toxic garbage that destroys its sun-button dandelions, needle-tipped thistles and cardboard-stiff crabgrass. As an added scourge, the powdery pellets encourage dogs, after running over newly-fertilized lawns, to lick their paws as if tasting a medium-rare, grilled T-bone steak, then vomit their last meal on the living room rug.

“Who cares?” we lawn-lubbers laugh, lustful to grow a virtual emerald carpet that will cause next-door neighbors embarrassment or, better yet, envy.

Ordinarily (OK, all the time), I miss March and April’s optimum spreading weather. By the time I admit to needing a Plan B,

it’s July, and because Steps Nos. 2 and 3 are past their optimum application time, particulars of sun and rain get ignored. The fertilizer then either washes into the sewer or burns out the lawn, leaving the grass looking and feeling like artificial turf the color of mud.

This spring, however, I nailed it. To call the timing miraculous would imply divine intervention, which is why I’m calling it a miracle. Not since Moses encountered the Burning Lawn has a divine presence felt so evident.

Here’s what happened: When first reading the bag’s 2-point font under an electron microscope, I checked my weather app. Incredibly, the clouds, temperature and arrangement of planets prophesied that by spreading the bag’s contents within the next six minutes, a giant beanstalk would erupt, promising future riches beyond my wildest dreams.

Well, maybe results not quite that fantastical, but a successful application was forecast, so I set

BEFORE THE DIPLOMA Denise Cartina lot of pressure on me to figure out what I wanted to make of my college life.

Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect from college. I was unsure if the stereotype about evil professors was real, and I had no idea what to think of the attitudes of the students on campus. Nevertheless, after spending an entire two semesters at college, I’ve concluded that all my professors were more enthusiastic than any teachers I had back in high school. What makes college so great is that all the people around you are so accepting of one another compared with high school, where I found people to be more cliquey and judgmental. In college, if you’re interested in something that someone else isn’t, that person is generally going to want to hear more about what you enjoy. Everyone holds the door open for each other while walking to class, too; the students are much more respectable in college, at least to an extent.

This year, I am going into

summer with a more laid-back vibe. I’ve done this college thing for a year and have adjusted to goofy class schedules, eating lunch at times that aren’t really considered lunch and sleeping in longer. I have accepted the idea of seeing my friends only a few times during the school year (thank goodness for group texting). Last summer I wanted to spend as much time as I could with my friends. We went to ice cream shops, little festivals and shopped around because none of us could imagine the idea that all of us would be going in six different directions in the fall. I want to do this all again, but now it will be a little less bittersweet to part ways once school comes around. Really, the summer after the first year of college is just different. I’m ready for some sun.

SOUND OFF Low and behold

Big Brother is watching.

We are just beside ourselves.

After 42 years of marriage and raising four sons, it was time to downsize and retire, so we moved to ... North Aurora. We’ve always built a shed to keep all of our yard equipment neatly put away, especially in the long winter. So, our yard is huge, and we take care of our own yard and it keeps us very busy.

Just like my parents in their 80s, they just keep going. We ... built a gorgeous, sturdy shed, tucked away in our [fenced-in] backyard. And low and behold, our homeowners’ association has a 15-page packet of do’s and don’ts, and – of course – our shed has to come down by June 30 or we pay $25 a day. With high taxes and association fees, for us retirees this is horrible. All

Making the Republican convention great again

Those who voted in the Republican primaries denied us the entertainment of a real contested convention. Now the get-together in Cleveland will only have [a] reality-show type of entertainment value, unless Trump decides to throw the pick for the vice presidential candidate open for the convention. That would make the GOP convention great again. I

nominate Sarah Palin.

What’s it gonna be?

So now the Congress wants to [remove] the word Oriental as a description of Asian people. And now they want to say, “Well you have to use Asian.” What’s it gonna be? ... This is absolutely ridiculous. I suggest that everybody read Glenn Beck’s “The Overton Window.” It’s an extraordinary book, and it’s supposed to be fiction, but if anybody can tell me that this isn’t exactly what’s going on in the world today, I’ll eat the book because that’s exactly what’s happening today. We’ve had exactly what he says in that book. So, good luck to all of you, but I intend to use Oriental.

Remember the Orient Express?

And people from the Orient are Oriental. I don’t care about what the government thinks.

Nice try on Trump

To the editor: Kudos to letter to the editor writer Tom Minnerick for admitting that America has “ … always been great.” You’d never think that based on what was said by folks on his side of the political fence during the Reagan and both Bush presidencies, but I digress.

Tom, you say Trump won’t “disavow the KKK.” Has the Democrat Party ever disavowed it? After all, it was Democrats who created that group, and their initial targets were white and black abolitionist Republican leaders.

You question a wall on our southern border? Your party seems far more interested in building an escalator/moving sidewalk down there, in spite of rumors of an ISIS camp near the border. What is fact, however, is that Islamist radicals have been captured who crossed into the U.S. from Mexico.

America has ALWAYS deported noncitizens who entered illegally. What nation hasn’t? I presume you think that when the number of illegals get sufficiently high then we just ignore them? Is that your plan?

You say that Trump “won’t accept Muslims?” Depends on which Muslims you’re talking about now, doesn’t it? As Europe has found out, ISIS and other Islamist terrorists are infiltrating their countries via the massive movement of refugees, the vast majority of whom are not vetted.

Couldn’t make it much easier for them; you want them to do the same here, do you?

Trump “refuses to release his taxes,” you say? Hmm … can you tell us what college courses our current president took? What were his grades in those class-

Heck, journalists were so determined to find data on G.W. Bush that they fell to creating it out of whole cloth.

One rather (no pun intended) notable journalist lost his job for buying into that idea.

Other problems you reveal with Trump: no idea how military works, no idea regarding foreign policy/domestic agenda, totally unprepared/unpredictable and a disaster as president.

Tom, you just described Obama to a T. So, what’s to worry?

You ended with this: The day after Trump suggested reducing our NATO role, Brussels was bombed. Are you suggesting that the terrorists were waiting for Trump to say that? No chance of it being pure coincidence, eh?

Last year at this time, I was a recent high school graduate.

Look at me now, completely done with my freshman year of college. After writing five essays and taking three final exams, I suppose you could say that I’m exhausted. I felt like a zombie during finals week, just slowly sulking to each class to plop my papers down on my teacher’s desk, answer multiple choice questions and then leave. While I may be done with the spring semester, I have only three days off until I jump into a three-week accelerated English course and write papers until my fingers fall off and I cry while clutching my laptop.

Finishing the semester this year is a mixture of emotions different than last. When I was fresh out of high school, I was hopping into summer feeling free and invincible because of the fact I was out of the depressing prison of a high school. Yet, there was a bit of uncertainty after graduating high school. I knew I wanted to go to community college, but I had no clue what to major in and what classes to take. When I looked at all my friends who were all going to major universities and knew actually what they wanted to study, it put a

‘Farm Junkpile’

By Virginia Kammerer, a St. Charles resident Rusted out ’57 Ford, an old pickup truck filled with dead to the world broken tools and implements, refrigerators with open coffined yawns, bottles, odd pieces of dishes, bed springs all dumped in the washout on the family farm.

Going for a walk on a spring day and stopping by the junkpile to look over this storehouse of weathered debris to search for what we city folks deem Road Show treasures; found a cobalt blue medicine bottle, intact, a faded sign, advertising: Prince Albert Tobacco, and the birdhouse I’d given as a long ago Christmas gift, red with black lettering: See Rock City.

Back at the house, eager to show my collection to my folks, I noted a stiffened look of consternation, then my mother said, “That’s where we store stuff we want to sell.”

Bill Tammeus, in Toronto’s National Newspaper in 1991, wrote, “Oil prices have fallen lately. We include this news for the benefit of gas stations, which otherwise wouldn’t learn of it for six months.”

At the bridge table, bidding conventions are devised to try to facilitate reaching the best final contract.

However, they all come with a price.

Look at today’s deal. If the auction had gone one no-trump - three no-trump, West would have led the spade queen, and South would have taken 12 tricks. But transfer bids are recommended, even though they give the opponents more options.

They can intervene immediately; or pass first, then bid on the next round; or fourth hand can make a lead-directing double, as in today’s deal.

After East doubles two diamonds, North-South are in trouble. In three no-trump, they will lose the first five tricks. Four hearts can also be defeated -- see below. In this sequence, North’s three-diamond rebid asked his partner to bid three no-trump with a diamond stopper. When South continued with four clubs (denying both a stopper and three-card heart support), North wisely passed.

West led the diamond seven. East took three tricks in the suit, and West correctly signaled with the spade queen (top of touching honors) on the third round. East, now knowing from the point count that South had the spade king and the heart king, led another diamond, which promoted West’s club jack as the setting trick.

Note that four hearts is beaten similarly, West ruffing the fourth diamond with his heart 10, which effects an uppercut.

North aims to ‘do some damage’ at state North Stars sending two-boat contingent to Carlyle Lake

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com Make no mistake, urgency exists in the bass fishing state tournament.

St. Charles North is sending two boats to the May 20 and 21 event at downstate Carlyle Lake, and each angler realizes it’s not a pleasure cruise.

“Every minute counts, pretty much,” junior Carter Heflen said.

“You’re going to be out there for eight hours. There’s going to be small windows of opportunity to catch fish, and

you’ve just got to take advantage of every bit of that.”

Heflen and classmates Jake Lewandowski and Daniel Barsanti represented North as freshmen at the 2014 state meet, which was contested on the second weekend of May. The IHSA, in its eighth spring of sanctioning the bass fishing state series, approved a measure to move back sectionals and state last year in the hopes that warmer weather would help net bigger hauls all around.

That rationale held firm during the Shabbona Lake Sectional on May 6 as four schools caught at least 10 pounds, 11 ounces of bass. Sectional champion Rochelle (12 pounds, 2 ounces) edged North’s No. 2 boat of Heflen, Lewandowski and Alex Richmond (11 pounds, 14 ounces) for the title. North’s No. 1 boat of Barsanti, Dylan Allamian and

Reece Rother had 10 pounds, 12 ounces of bass, clipping Marmion for the final state qualifying spot.

Each of the top four boats hit its five-fish limit. North’s No. 2 boat had five fish by 11:30 a.m., 3 1/2 hours before the end of the competition. Heflen caught a 16-inch fish with just a few minutes remaining, however, and putting it into the live well made an important difference.

“We really don’t quit right until we have to because you just never know,” said North Stars assistant Dave Fuerst, who drives boat No. 2. “If we had quit five minutes earlier, we wouldn’t have qualified. That was a really big deal for us.”

North has produced at least one state entry in five seasons, leaving Fuerst and head coach Tim Pinks familiar with the Carlyle layout.

Although 26,000 acres in size, the lake “fishes very, very small,” Fuerst said, and recent rain in the region figures to add complexities by muddying the water.

“You really have to prepare yourself to not catch that many fish,” Fuerst said. “You really have to fish for five bites every day and stay mentally tough all day long because you just don’t know. That’s just the way the lake is.”

The 2016 state series featured 216 schools at sectionals statewide. The inaugural class in 2009 consisted of 199.

State competition consists of two days of fishing taking place from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. both days.

“It’s going to be a really cool experience,” Allamian said. “We’ve just got to keep ourselves sharp and ready to go and be ready to go down there and do some damage.”

Senior sprinter Ndidi Ukaobasi and the Geneva girls track and field team enter the Class 3A state meet preliminaries on May 20 with plenty of confidence.

The Vikings earned the program’s first sectional title at Hoffman Estates on May 13, the victory coming on the heels of capturing crowns at the Kane County and Upstate Eight Conference

meets in recent weeks.

Ukaobasi won the 100 meters (12.46) and 200 (26.05) at the sectional.

Ukaobasi and her family moved to Geneva from Canada before her sophomore year, and the soft-spoken sprinter at last is hitting her stride after battling injuries in 2014 and 2015.

“It’s truly been a nice, inspirational story for our team and for other kids to see her because they definitely know what track and field means to her,” Vikings coach Peter Raak said.

Preliminaries are May 19 for Class 1A and May 20 for Class 2A and 3A, and Finals for all classes are May 21 at Eastern Illinois’ O’Brien Stadium in Charleston

Batavia High School board members, faculty and booster club members break ground during a groundbreaking ceremony for the school’s new turf field May 13.

‘Look for the bulldozers’ Batavia breaks ground on turf installation and track resurfacing projects

By KEVIN DRULEY

“You’re talking now about a space that went from being able to be used on game nights to being able to be used every night. That’s a huge difference. ” Dennis Piron Batavia football and boys track coach

kdruley@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Worn, muddy, goalmouth grass glistened in the sun a few paces away from ceremonial hard hats and shovels arranged on the northern end of Batavia’s Bulldog Stadium.

Four months from now, that surface will be obsolete.

A crew from FieldTurf USA Inc. is set to install artificial turf at the venue by mid-September, while Hoppy’s Landscaping, Inc. will replace the track.

Batavia High School and other community officials gathered May 13 to break ground on the estimated $1.42 million dollar project for which the Batavia Bulldog Boosters will donate $500,000 over five years. Additional funding will come from money the district already had budgeted for the track resurfacing and other areas.

“You’re talking now about a space that went from being able to be used

on game nights to being able to be used every night,” said Dennis Piron, who coaches Batavia football and boys track. “That’s a huge difference. So we just added a whole bunch of competitive space to our town that we never had before, and it’s going to be great.”

In a unanimous 7-0 vote Jan. 26, the Batavia School District 101 Board approved a contract to go forth with the project. It will be funded without a referendum.

The news thrilled many in an athletic department that still had memories of 2014, when Batavia voters rejected a $15 million bond referendum for Batavia High School that included synthetic turf and other improvements.

“Now is the exciting time because we actually get to see some progress on the project and stuff like that,” Batavia Athletic Director Dave Andrews said.

Andrews, who emceed a 20-minute ceremony that included remarks from booster officials and Batavia Mayor Jeff Schielke, said preliminary construction could begin as soon as May 16, when the respective companies attain access to the property.

“Look for the bulldozers,” Andrews said.

Although the athletic department hopes to host lower-level games before then, Batavia plans to officially usher in the turf era with a boys soccer/football doubleheader Sept. 16, the end of the school’s homecoming week.

Both contests are against Upstate Eight Conference River Division foe Elgin. The soccer game is slated to start at 5 p.m., with football to follow at 7:30.

The Batavia girls soccer team tied St. Charles East 1-1 on May 13 in the

final competition on Bulldog Stadium grass.

Batavia’s track will remain at seven lanes, but Piron and girls counterpart Justin Allison both were bullish about what facility upgrades would do to boost already thriving programs. They need only gesture to the school’s adjacent, 56,200-square-foot field house, completed in 2011, for one piece of proof.

“Oh, yeah. It just takes us to the next level. Absolutely,” Allison said.

“Having the appropriate equipment in any sport or any job is critical. So I foresee that definitely being a benefit.”

Andrews stressed the upgrades would not only serve Batavia’s 750 student athletes but also the entire student body via physical education courses.

The marching band also won’t have to worry about wet or muddy footing.

“We’ve been doing a great job – and I give credit to our coaches and our kids – of probably multi-using and overusing facilities and space as well as anybody in the state of Illinois,” Piron said.

Soon, ceremonial shovels will give way to heavier equipment as Batavia anticipates the arrival of a new campus gem.

KANE COUNTY PREPS Krage answers Huskies’ ATHLETE OF THE WEEK call to ‘step up and play’ MCKENZIE ALTMAYER Geneva Senior | Girls track and field Why Altmayer was selected: Altmayer helped Geneva to the Class 3A Hoffman Estates Sectional title May 13, winning the 3,200 (10:40.95) and 1,600 (5:00.59). She will compete in both events at the 3A state meet in Charleston from May 20-21.

Geneva senior girls track and field standout McKenzie Altmayer and the Vikings earned the program’s first Class 3A sectional title May 13, topping a 13-team field at Hoffman Estates. The distance veteran won the 3,200 meters and 1,600 as the Vikings added a sectional crown to their recent Kane County and Upstate Eight Conference titles. Altmayer, the Kane County Chronicle-St. Charles Bank & Trust Athlete of the Week, talked with Chronicle sports editor Kevin Druley about her feats.

How did the team approach the sectional meet after winning county and conference?

Definitely all of us were all in focus. No one doubted it for a second. We would all congratulate each other individually, but

we were aways asking about team points, how many we got and where we thought we were. Focusing on the team was what helped us pull through and get to that point.

What was the bus ride home from sectionals like?

It was very exciting. We were all freaking out, the entire team. It was raining a lot that night and we were sitting on the bus waiting for the announcement. … (Coach Peter) Raak came on the bus with a plaque and we were going crazy the whole way.

Tell me about the mindset entering state week.

Everyone’s just excited for the next big meet and ready to see what we can do down there.

There’s nothing quite like the crack of the bat against a ball that, you can just hear, is going all the way. Or, the roar of the crowd when someone’s rounding third headed straight for home plate.

Baseball doesn’t get old. Neither does rooting for a team you’ve grown up with. Here’s to this season and to our teams. We’re ready for you to bring it home!

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF COMMUNITY BANKING!

Decimated by injuries, the Northern Illinois women’s volleyball team had no choice.

The Huskies had to turn to reserve players.

Some had played in few or no matches. Yet the Huskies were able to maintain their winning ways last season as players such as Taylor Krage, a St. Charles North alumnus who saw limited minutes as a freshman in 2014, maximized her opportunities last fall.

“We endured a lot of injuries,” Krage said. “At one point, it seemed like everyone was injured. But we had strong leadership. When the older players got injured, some of the younger players that stepped in had little or no experience. But we had to step up and play.”

Which is exactly how NIU players who once were thought of as depth became important cogs in the Huskies’ system.

NIU went 19-11 overall in 2015 while winning the Mid-American Conference regular season title with a 14-2 record. The Huskies finished second at the MAC tournament, which they will host next season due to their regular season conference title.

A team with plenty of moving parts in its lineup won 22 of 30 first sets from opponents. Krage played in 65 sets, started three matches and played in 24 of 30 overall. She had 88 kills, which was good for 1.35 per set on 311 total attempts.

Even though it was a rushed, coming-of-age season for Northern, Krage felt the guidance offered by injured players allowed for continued success. She said every year, NIU has the same expectations: win the MAC

ON CAMPUS James Nokes

West, the MAC tournament and go to the NCAA tournament.

An NCAA tournament berth was almost a reality this past season, as NIU finished second in the MAC tournament final.

“The injuries forced me and a couple other players into bigger roles,” Krage said. “We had to mature quickly. It was comforting to see how welcoming the veteran players were. Injured players really turned to their teammates and helped them to stay focused.

Everyone was like, ‘Let’s go get it.’ If someone went down, we took a next man up mentality.”

A versatile player, Krage has impressed NIU coach Ray Gooden with what he calls her “coach’s’ mentality.” Even though Krage only played in two matches as a freshman in 2014, Gooden saw a player that could contribute in every phase of the game.

Skilled as a passer, attacker, blocker, server or defender, Krage was able to step in and be successful.

“Taylor had all the capability and potential to make an impact on the group,” Gooden said. “It was really next person up when it came to our rotation this season. She had a chance to improve from her freshman to sophomore season with more reps. She really got comfortable doing things for us out there and had a significant impact on our success.”

THE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com

Former St. Charles North boys basketball standout Dustin Lee went on to a collegiate career at NCAA Division III Lawrence in Appleton, Wis. These days, he is part of a men’s recreational team looking to gain entry into a national open event called The Basketball Tournament, in which the winning team gets $2 million.

“It has been kind of fun,” Lee said, “actually talking with people and people reaching out to us saying good luck.

People I haven’t talked to in a long time.”

A sales manager at a Chi-

cago engineering firm, Lee majored in economics at Lawrence, an NCAA Division III school in Appleton, Wis. He was no stranger to crunching numbers in high school, averaging a team-best 17.1 points a

Embracing new partners hardly a crime A few weeks ago, my base partner told me in the briefest postgame meeting that I could ever recall that I called too many strikes.

He then whined about how mad he was at the assignor, who sent him so far away to work a bad varsity game and how he now had a long drive ahead.

So much for no crying in baseball, eh?

I suppose you can’t make solid contact with everybody, right? Just ask those Detroit Tigers who recently faced Max Scherzer.

Actually, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting several umpires for the first time this year and had a lot of fun getting to know them. Now I look forward to meeting with them again to work games, although with the end of the season in sight, it probably won’t be until next year.

One of my more recent new encounters came with longtime umpire Ray Gerkitz from Ottawa. I had the pleasure of

QUILL THE UMPIRE Chris Rollin Walker working a couple of games with him, and after the latest we shared a few stories during our postgame talk.

One of his best ones, though, had yet to be told because it hadn’t happened yet.

Although I have to say that his stories about working games at Limestone when they had some kid named Jim Thome swinging for the fences were pretty darn good, too.

Gerkitz attended Marquette High School and later coached football there from 1991 to 2001.

Around the same time (1990 to 1996), Dan McCarthy, the current baseball coach at West Chicago, was coaching baseball and basketball at Marquette.

The two got to know each other pretty well.

So when the opportunity arose for Gerkitz to make the long trek to West Chicago

to work the Wildcats’ game against Larkin on May 7, he pounced on it.

After all, it was 24 years ago when Gerkitz umpired one of his first varsity games, and it was at Marquette with McCarthy at the helm. McCarthy is retiring at the end of this season.

Time was running out for the two to cross paths on the baseball diamond again, so Gerkitz ensured it would happen.

“I got to know Ray pretty well over those six years at Marquette, especially because it’s a small community out there,” McCarthy said. “When you see someone you have a friendship with like that, it makes it a little bit more special.”

McCarthy, who also coached baseball at Joliet Catholic, has crossed paths with plenty of former players and coaches over the years, and those relationships make those ballgames all the more special.

“It’s nice to be able to

arrange games like that,” McCarthy said. “To be able to see guys like Ray and some of my former players really makes the day special.”

While coaches may want umpires to give them a little more on the corner, Gerkitz decided to give a couple of them jerseys.

Since Gerkitz used to attend White Sox games with McCarthy, as well as another soon-tobe-retired coach, Spring Valley Hall’s Tom Keegan, he presented each with Chris Sale White Sox jerseys to commemorate their respective retirements.

He was able to give Keegan one earlier this spring, while delivering a similar one to McCarthy on May 7.

“It’s something I wanted to do and simply did on my own,” Gerkitz said. “We used to go to White Sox games together as a crew and both are retiring this year.”

Sugar Grove resident Chris Rollin Walker is a baseball umpire. Contact him at edito-

Lawrence. One teammate is John Dekker, older brother of former Wisconsin standout Sam Dekker, who now plays for the Houston Rockets.

“Sam is trying to become like a booster for us and get votes for us,” Lee said.

Lee’s parents, Kevin and Bonnie, moved to Sparta, Wis., when Lee was a Lawrence junior. Before that, the family relocated from Libertyville to St. Charles. Lee’s older brother, Chad, played basketball at Libertyville and was a 1995 graduate.

The Lawrence All-Stars play together at least once a week in open gyms in addition to a Wednesday night league in Skokie. Past TBT fields have included teams with former NBA and NCAA Division I players, but Lee and Co. believe a cohesive group comprised of athletes with several years of shared experience also can be dangerous.

But the team must be voted into the field first.

• KRAGE

Continued from page 6 Because she’s such a good teammate, Gooden wasn’t surprised Krage was shown support and guidance from injured players.

The Huskies lose just one senior to graduation. They’ll return an experienced lineup in 2016 along with depth that has been tested.

“We are fortunate the culture we’ve built at NIU has allowed for our success to happen,” said Gooden, who has led Northern to two MAC titles, four of the last six MAC tournament finals and six 20win seasons in his 14 years at the helm of the program. “The closeness of the group is one of the biggest reasons why.

We had a high level of trust.

It was neat to see so many people contribute to that.”

Dustin Lee essentially makes every basketball outing with his team of friends a version of Throwback Thursday.

It hardly matters which day they compete.

Still, the St. Charles North and Lawrence University product can’t seem to shake that whole “TBT” abbreviation.

That isn’t suggesting he wants to.

Lee and his pals are vying to earn enough online votes to gain entry into The Basketball Tournament, a 64-team, single-elimination tourney in which squads from across the nation compete for a $2 million grand prize.

Isacco’s Kitchen brings northern Italian fare to First Street

By TOM WITOM editorial@kcchronicle.com

• Thursday, May 19, 2016

ST. CHARLES – Isacco Vitali’s decision to relocate Isacco’s Kitchen a little closer to central downtown St. Charles wasn’t made on a whim.

After all, the northern Italian restaurant had built up a following during its seven-year run on nearby Cedar Street.

The move to a newer site meant more visibility, heavier foot traffic and ample parking, said Vitali, the restaurant’s chef and owner. And its smaller, more intimate footprint – total seating capacity, including the bar, is 42 – has worked out just fine, allowing the hard-working chef and his made-from-scratch dishes to better connect with customers.

The transition began Aug. 22 when the lights went out at the original site on Cedar Street. It continued until two weeks before Christmas, and lasted “a little longer than expected due to various technical reasons,” said Vitali, who has had about 20 years of experience as a chef.

The Italian eatery also pulls diners from a 10-mile radius – as far away as Naperville, Aurora and Wheaton.

“Consistently offering a good product is key,” said Vitali. “It’s what keeps people coming back. Everything else is important, but food is the main focus.”

The Fabyan Villa Museum, which was home to George and Nelle Fabyan from 1905 through 1939, is open through Oct. 15 for public visits. The villa, re-designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1907, is home to many artifacts originally collected by George and Nelle Fabyan for their private museum.

The Japanese Garden, which was created in 1910, now is open for quiet strolling from 1 to 4:30 p.m. Sundays and from 1 to 4 p.m. Wednesdays. In addition, it will be open from 1 to 4 p.m. Thursdays from June through August.

The cost is a suggested donation of $1 a person for the Japanese Garden, and $3 for adults and $1 for children

for the museum.

Self-guided brochures are available in the garden. More information is available by visiting the Preservation Partners of the Fox Valley website at ppfv.org.

Preservation Partners operates Fabyan Villa Museum, one of three local house museums, as well as the Fabyan Japanese Garden, according

to its website.

The same forest preserve also is where the Fabyan Windmill is located, as it once was part of the Fabyan’s large country estate.

“The windmill and the villa and Japanese Garden all make for a great walk,” Metanchuk said. “There are fun and cool things to see and learn about.”

Kaneville, Maple Park libraries prepare summer reading programs

By VIOLET MARQUARDT editorial@kcchronicle.com Reading isn’t an activity that should take a break when the school year ends. To support reading habits during the summer months, the four major libraries in the Kaneland School District host summer reading programs.

From June 13 through July 23, the Kaneville Public Library will host its summer reading program for children and adults alike to spend their summer in the world of literature. Sign-up for the summer reading program began May 16.

It is open for children and adults in an effort to encourage reading into the vacation months.

“There will be prizes and awards, and we’re also going to try and have really great prizes for the teens if they want to come in and participate in summer reading. So we’re really going to step up our game and

“[The library is] just looking forward to having a lot of kids come through the door and look for amazing and fun things at the Kaneville Library.”

Lynda Fillipp Kaneland Public Library director have a lot of prizes for books read,” Kaneville Public Library Director Lynda Fillipp said. “Adults, too, will have a summer reading goal and maybe even a chance to win prizes, as well.”

Beyond just reading, the Kaneville Public Library also will have a host of new activities each week. Fillipp said the hope is to have crafts and activities – such as a movie night – at least one day a week.

“We’ll probably do some special

things like have the [Fox Valley] Wildlife Center come out and show animals,” Fillipp said. “We certainly have the Kane County Cougars, who might come out and give us a sports clinic. And the Chicago Fire has approached me about doing a sports clinic this summer.”

Kaneville Public Library’s summer reading program will follow a sports theme, and Fillipp said she hopes each week’s activities will offer an additional, narrower focus and theme for the childdren to enjoy. She said the library’s goal for summer reading is to get more patrons in the door and in love with reading. “[The library is] just looking forward to having a lot of kids come through the door and look for amazing and fun things at the Kaneville library,” Fillipp said.

Maple Park Public Library’s summer reading program is open to patrons of all ages. The library’s

goal for its summer reading program is to integrate reading into every patron’s routine.

“We like for them to read 100 minutes a week – about 20 minutes a day, five days a week,” Library Director Kimberly Martin said. “That’s what we aim for.”

Maple Park’s summer reading program will be open from June 13 to Aug. 5. Those who complete the summer reading program will receive prizes.

“I’m looking forward to encouraging kids to read over the summer,” Martin said.

In addition, there will be a weekly lunch storytime at 12:30 p.m. every Wednesday. Martin is working to add more activities for the summer, such as a STEM program.

More information will be provided once dates are set and will be available at the library’s Facebook page and website, sites.google.com/ site/mapleparklibrary/.

GENEVA – Fabyan Villa Museum and Japanese Garden will be open to the public and for guided tours from 1 to 4 p.m. May 22. The museum and garden are located in the Fabyan West Forest Preserve off Route 31 in Geneva.

The Fabyan Villa Museum was the former home of George and Nelle Fabyan from 1905 to 1939 and was re-designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1907, said Kane County Forest Preserve District spokeswoman Laurie Metanchuk.

During the tours, visitors can learn about the legacy of the Fabyans and see artifacts of their collected Asian art and their original mission-style furniture, she said.

“Fabyan Villa is one of our cultural gems here in Kane County as part of the Fabyan Forest Preserve,” Metanchuk said. “The villa was originally called Riverbank, and the majority of the artifacts came from the Fabyan time period.”

The museum and garden will be open now through Oct. 15. Guided tours at the museum are 40 minutes long every half-hour from 1 to 4 p.m.

Wednesdays and from 1 to 4:30 p.m.

Saturdays and Sundays.

Kid’s Days are 1 to 4 p.m. Thursdays from June through August, where museum-oriented games will be available, as well as self-guided tours, so attendees can explore at their own pace.

Hickory Knolls event to encourage children to get muddy

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Laura McCoy is hoping for rain May 21.

That’s because she is expecting dozens of children who will be ready to get muddy at the Hickory Knolls Discovery Center on May 22 – a day on which McCoy will welcome sunshine.

The St. Charles Park District facility is hosting its first Mud Day event from 1 to 2:30 p.m. in conjunction with International Mud Day. The first International Mud Day was sponsored by World Forum in June 2011, two years after the idea

for it began, according to the World Forum Foundation.

In a press release, the park district described the day as a way to unite

children worldwide and encourage appreciation of the earth.

McCoy, who serves as the nature programs supervisor at Hickory Knolls, said the whole idea is to go outside, play, get dirty and have fun.

“I’m ready to just go out and play right now,” she said more than a week before the event.

The event – which will be canceled only for thunderstorms – will offer a lot of hands-on exploration, McCoy said. Activities will include a mudpie-making station and tools for digging and building, she said.

She said it is “really recommended” that participants wear old clothes. A cleanup station will be

available onsite, she said, adding that a change of clothes is also encouraged.

The cost is $2 for residents, $3 for non-residents and free for children younger than 3. Registration is requested in advance through the park district’s website, www.stcparks.org.

The activity number is 8645.

About 40 children were registered as of May 10, McCoy said.

“It’s clicking away pretty well with popularity,” she said.

Based on the response, she said, the event will likely return next year.

“I would love to put International Mud Day on the calendar for us,” she said.

We do not call ourselves professional cake makers at The Catering Gourmets.

But we do make tasty Texas sheet cakes.

The chocolate version has been around for years – the one that calls for sour cream. I made lots of them when we lived in Brownsville, Texas, in the 1980s.

About 10 years ago, I happened upon a lovely vanilla Texas sheet cake. It’s a real sweetheart and easy to make.

We made 640 pieces for Kaneland High School’s Madrigal performances last December. Several people asked for the recipe, and I am happy to oblige.

Recently, I hosted a wedding shower for my niece, Jessica, and I wanted to serve a layer cake for dessert. The only tiered cake we make is a double layer with whipped cream and strawberries between the two layers and on top. I thought this would be perfect for Jessica’s shower, since strawberries were so glorious at that time.

And then in a flash, it came to me – like a shooting star suddenly appearing in the night sky. “It shall be a four-layer cake!” I’ve had great success with the double-layer version. Just add two layers, right?

I went to the store to buy two more round cake pans. In the baking aisle, I spotted a small dome-shaped cake pan and pictured how quaint it would look – like a pill box hat from the ‘50s – as the fourth layer.

As I began mixing the cake batter with my fancy Kitchen Aid mixer and pre-heating my state-of-the art convection oven in my catering kitchen, I started laughing about the birthday layer cakes my mother made for my five siblings and me when we were growing up. Each one was funnier than the next.

Forty years later, we still laugh about those cakes, and my good-natured mother laughs right along with us.

Getting to know the Centre De Vin in Hong Kong We just returned from our latest trip to Hong Kong, where we focused our efforts on finalizing an agreement with Ben Chang, majority owner of the Centre De Vin. The Centre would serve as a wine-distributor base of operations in China. It provides a perfect platform to learn, experience and enjoy the beauty of wine.

Centre De Vin is an impressive location in a new 10-story building that is easily accessible by train, car and boat and is close to the new airport.

The building has offices for clients on the fifth floor; a café and wine lounge, wine boutique and lab on the ninth floor; and a rooftop sky garden on the 10th floor to host events. And, of course, Ben offers professional wine events and catering services, connections with the greater China markets and an impressive location for the convergence of various wine and related food professionals who may want to do tastings, seminars or food-and-wine events.

What we found new and exciting from our previous visits to the Centre

The Centre De Vin in Hong Kong, China, is in a new 10-story building that is accessible by train, car and boat and is close to an airport.

The building has offices for clients on the fifth floor; a café and wine lounge, wine boutique and lab on the ninth floor; and a rooftop sky garden on the 10th floor to host events.

THE WINE DETECTIVES Tom Minnerick is that Ben has added a retractable roof for the top floor to prevent inclement weather from interfering with any events scheduled for outside on the top floor. He has also added a new restaurant just three or so weeks ago to attract more clients.

So, we believe we have partnered with Ben Chang at a perfect time for us to collaborate with him at the Centre De Vin and use his enthusiasm and expertise to launch our premium California wines in HK and China. And, as you can see from the photos, the Centre De Vin provides an outstanding vehicle for us to present Cardinal Rule and our other wines in a professional manner, where the atmospherics are very conducive to positive responses.

We can present the wines in detail, taste them with food, discuss their merits and build events around them

Put an exclamation point on your garden with variety of red roses Nothing sparks up a garden like a red rose. In the midst of subtle colors, red is an exclamation point. But what kind of red rose? Lots of people have Knockouts, but I would like to introduce you to some red and near-red roses you may enjoy. All of them are hardy in Zone 5a and are disease-resistant, which is important. No one wants to spend a lot of time spraying chemicals on plants, and certainly not in these times when beneficial insects are so important.

Tess of the D’Urbervilles, widely available by mail order, is a David Austin rose I have had for many years.

Beautiful, disease-resistant and slow to fade, it blooms from spring well into fall

LEARNING TO GROW Donna Mack in flushes. The flowers are full and last a long time. This one can be grown as a shrub, or you can put it against a trellis, where it serves as a semi climber. Some roses are rampant – not this beauty!

Are you seeking a big and bodacious rose for an arbor? Quadra is a rose from the Canadian Explorer program. Roses from that program were bred for severe weather. (This rose is hardy in Zone 3.)

It starts into growth very early in the season and blooms through frosts. The

huge red flowers are not just double, but quartered. It is completely disease-resistant, and will quickly cover an arbor or a pole since the canes are extremely flexible and can be wrapped around almost anything before they harden. This rose blooms constantly.

And because it is so tough, you can even leave it on an exposed trellis all winter.

For something more delicate, consider The Dark Lady, another David Austin rose. It does turn fuchsia in sunlight, but what a beautiful flower!

Are you looking for a rose that can be grown as a shrub or a small climber? Look no further than Dublin Bay, which is beautiful and unfading. It also

VERO VOCE

13

Vero Voce Theatre is presenting “Mulan Jr.” through May 22 at the Pheasant Run Resort Mainstage Theater, 4051 E. Main St., St. Charles.

In the story, the Huns have invaded, and it is up to the misfit Mulan and her mischievous dragon sidekick, Mushu, to save the emperor.

Defying the village match-

maker, Mulan takes up arms and disguises herself as a boy in order to spare her father from having to serve in the army.

As the great battle with the Huns approaches, Mulan must choose between revealing her true identity as a girl or saving all of China with her clever plan. To learn more about the show, visit verovoce.com.

“That’s why pirates wear eye patches,” he said. Forgive me, but I have no idea how this conversation even started. It was 9:45 on one of Noah’s last school nights EVER (by the time you read this he will have graduated from high school, and the expression “school night” doesn’t really apply in college, does it?), and I was off my game. Noah, however, was not.

“They keep one eye covered so their eyes don’t have to adjust at night,” he said. Apparently, the idea is that this trains the eye to stay adjusted to darkness. Super-important if you’re a pirate. Ya gotta be able to bob and weave and plunder and pillage above and below deck, right?

By BEN DRAPER bdraper@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – The story of Mark Twain’s life will be told at the Batavia Public Library at 2 p.m. May 22 by a somewhat unlikely source: the famed author himself.

Long-time actor and impersonator Dave Ehlert will portray Twain at the library, 10 S. Batavia Ave., Batavia, during the library’s Sunday’s on Stage program.

Ehlert tells the story of Twain’s life as Twain himself would tell it, from his early years in Hannibal, Missouri, to his worldwide travels, according to a news release from the library.

Twain is not the only famous person Ehlert portrays. He has impersonated people dating back to 1965.

“I started in show business as an Elvis impersonator and celebrated my 50th anniversary last year,” Ehlert said.

But it wasn’t until working in a theater in Branson, Missouri, in 2002 that Ehlert decided to tackle the famous author’s mannerisms. The theater had booked an actor to portray Twain, but when the actor backed out with a week before the performance, Ehlert stepped in.

“I had a week to prepare for the show, but I was sort of hooked after that,” he said. “He was a phenomenally funny guy, and I enjoyed the techniques he used to make a great story.”

Ehlert’s Mark Twain program has been presented in more than 300 libraries in more than 44 states.

The program is set to be 90 minutes

Immediately, I opened my closed eye.

What do I do?” I asked, as Noah covered one of his, and Holly, who’d also flopped down onto my bed, followed suit. With her free hand, she covered one of Jake’s. And the Big Red Dog, asleep beside me but a moment earlier, now was standing at attention beside me with Holly’s hand over his eye. It was hysterical. “That’s it?” Silliness, really, but I was on to them, these devilish procrastinators of mine. “You guys! Best procrastinators ever!” This pirate eye business was for the birds.

Zika virus likely to appear in U.S. Dear Readers: In a recent column, I discussed new evidence that the Zika virus probably causes a brain birth defect that leads to small heads and brains (microcephaly). This can occur when a pregnant woman is infected early in pregnancy, when the baby’s brain is developing.

The virus is carried inside certain mosquitoes called Aedes mosquitoes, which bite and transmit the virus to humans. Aedes mosquitoes have already spread north from South America and the Caribbean into the southern United States. This is obviously a concern for any woman who is contemplating getting pregnant.

We don’t know, however, how large this risk is: • How often will pregnant women who are infected early in pregnancy have babies with microcephaly? One small study from French Polynesia estimates the risk may be as low as 1 percent. However, in my opinion, that estimate is not very solid.

• What is the likelihood that the virus will reach the U.S. and Canada? Aedes mosquitoes now are in about 30 southern U.S. states and in Hawaii. Global warming is encouraging the mosquitoes to travel north. However, it is hard to predict how rapidly that will happen.

Even though Aedes mosquitoes already are in the U.S., the virus so far has not been found in U.S. mosquitoes. The problem is that U.S. citizens often travel south. Some have become infected with the virus, usually without knowing it, and then have returned to the U.S. carrying the virus. If they are bitten by U.S. Aedes mosquitoes, the virus could be transmitted to those mosquitoes.

And those mosquitoes then could spread it to other people in the United States. And then Zika infections could take off in the U.S., just as they have in South America over the past several years.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff

•

Will this actually happen? I’m afraid it will.

How soon will it happen? I wouldn’t hazard a guess. I’ll keep bringing you the latest information about this.

• When will there be a treatment or a vaccine? There currently is no antiviral treatment for this virus. Although scientists are working hard on this, it is unlikely that a proven treatment will be available for several years. The same is probably true for a vaccine. It is encouraging that a vaccine against a similar virus, dengue virus, was approved in April. Hopefully, the lessons learned in developing that vaccine will speed development of a vaccine for Zika virus.

• Why are we behind in dealing with this new virus? If you are regular readers of this column, you can predict my answer: because we have not invested enough in biomedical research and public health.

We could have been collecting data on thousands of women in South America when this virus spread there several years ago. We could have started work on antiviral treatments and vaccines. Instead, federal, state and city governments were spending their limited resources on more immediately urgent health issues. There weren’t the funds to try to get ahead of this new virus.

Who determines how much our government spends to protect our health? We the people.

East coast Dear Disrespected: Yes. If you prefer not to

attend, stay home. And if you are asked why you didn’t show up, tell them the reason.

Dear Abby: A family with young children just moved into the house across the street. They seem like nice people, but one thing concerns me. Day and night, their 6-year-old son rides his bike all over the street unsupervised, and darts across without looking. Most of the residents on our street drive carefully, but every so often a strange car or two will barrel through. I’m worried that the boy will get hit one of these days. Should someone go to the parents and tell them their child isn’t safe? Or is it nobody’s business to scold people on how to raise their children? – Concerned Neighbor Dear Concerned Neighbor: Go there to welcome your new neighbors. And while you’re there, warn the parents that some drivers ignore the speed limit while driving down that street, so it’s important they stress to their boy the importance of looking both ways when he’s on his bike.

Dr. Wallace: I am surprised by the number of girls at our high school who have become pregnant.

It seems like every month or so another coed is in the family way.

Last summer, I spent a month in Holland with my cousin and we discussed teenage pregnancy. She said it wasn’t a problem there and she didn’t know anyone who was pregnant and unmarried.

Are our teens more promiscuous than teens in other countries, or does it just seem to be that way?

– Nameless, Boston, Mass.

Nameless: According to a study

by the Guttmacher Institute, U.S. teenagers become pregnant, give birth, and have abortions at significantly higher rates than do teens in other industrial nations.

Also, the United States, according to the report, is the only developed country where teenage pregnancy has been increasing in recent years.

The pregnancy rate for Americans 15 to 19 years old stands at 96 per 1,000, compared with 14 per 1,000 in the Netherlands, 35 in Sweden, 43 in France, 44 in Canada and 45 in England and Wales.

The teenage abortion rate for the U.S. was found to be as high as the combined abortion and birth rates for the other countries studied.

Overall, the study concluded

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace that the lowest rates of teenage pregnancy were in countries that had liberal attitudes toward sex, comprehensive programs in sex education, and easily accessible contraceptive services – with contraceptives being offered free or at low cost, without parental notification.

This level of sexual activity is not what accounts for the notably high rates of adolescent pregnancy in the United States. That level was roughly the same in every country in the case study. One of the major culprits was the failure of U.S. teens to use contraceptives.

Dr. Wallace: My parents fight and argue a lot and I’m always dragged into their “debate.” Both of my parents try to get me to agree with them. For example, my mom will say, “Tell your father that he is drinking too much beer,” or my dad will say, “All you do is nag, nag, nag, - isn’t that true, Jill?”

I hate when they fight and I hate it more when they ask me to choose sides. Please tell me what to do! – Jill, Springfield, Mo. Jill: It is not fair for your

parents to drag you into their disagreements. If you agree with one of your parents, the other will become upset with you. When things are harmonious at home, talk with your parents and explain that you are very unhappy when they fight and argue. Ask them to please try and keep their emotions under control and to intelligently work out their problems. Inform them that you will no longer be a referee if another disagreement occurs.

If it does happen, go to your room or leave the house until peace and calm are restored.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 19, a student at Kishwaukee Community College and live at home with my parents.

My curfew is 11 p.m. on weekdays and 12:30 a.m. on weekends. I think this is a lousy deal. After all, I’m 19, an adult, and consider myself a mature individual.

I’d like to share your comments with my dad. – Nameless, Ro-

chelle, Ill. Nameless: As long as you live

at home, you should be subject to family rules, including curfew.

And I might add that your curfew rules are reasonable. Do you still want to share my answer with Dad?

DEAR ABBY wife of 15 years has recently Jeanne begun spending a Phillips lot of time with a group of women who socialize away from their husbands. They like to meet without their husbands and party at pickup nightclubs and swingers’ bars. When I asked her about it, her response was, “It’s just us girls dancing with each other and having a good time.

We dance with each other at the table we’re at.

We never dance with any of the men who ask us.”

When I asked why they go to these kinds of places, she said the atmosphere and music are better there. Abby, I object to this type of partying. She’s now accusing me of being jealous and possessive.

Am I wrong to want her to stop? I think what she’s doing is dangerous. – Please Stop in Arizona Dear Please Stop: No, you’re not wrong. Your wife partying regularly at swingers’ bars and pick-up joints IS a threat to your marriage. If the shoe were on the other foot and you were the one out drinking and dancing while she sat at home, she’d probably feel the same way you’re feeling now, unless you had both agreed on an open relationship. Spouses who treat each other without consideration for the other’s feelings usually wind up divorced, so while there is time to save your marriage, some sessions with a marriage counselor would be a good investment.

Dear Abby: My mom died of cancer last year at the young age of 63. (I am 30.) Not one member of my husband’s mother’s family (other than my MIL and FIL, whom we live with) acknowledged her death in any way. There were no phone calls, no sympathy cards, no “I’m sorry for your loss,” NOTHING. My family and I were extremely hurt by their behavior. We feel that some sort of apology or explanation is in order. Some members of my mother-in-law’s family are now nearing death themselves, and I know I will be expected to go along with my husband, in-laws and their extended family to the various services “out of respect.” The problem is, my respect for them no longer exists. Any advice? – Disrespected on the

TELEVISION Best Bets THURSDAY

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM The Big Bang Theory Comedy icon Bob Newhart reprises his recurring guest role — which earned him an Emmy — in “The Opening Night Excitation,” but the character adopts an unusual form. Let’s just say the story has a “Star Wars” theme as he reappears to advise Sheldon (Jim Parsons) on taking a big step with Amy (Mayim Bialik). Leonard, Howard and Raj (Johnny Galecki, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar) debate who will get an extra ticket to the latest ”Star Wars” movie.

7 p.m. on % WMAQ Strong The final four teams are in place as the Elimination Tower winners claim the last spot in the new episode “Four the Win.” It isn’t long, though, before another battle to stay in the competition begins ... with the Ultimate Challenge reducing the number of remaining squads to three. Gabrielle Reece is the host of the show, which includes Sylvester Stallone among its executive producers.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Grey’s Anatomy Amelia’s (Caterina Scorsone) very big day brings her backing from Meredith and Maggie (Ellen Pompeo, Kelly McCreary) in “Family Affair,” the medical drama’s 12th-season finale. Jo and Alex (Camilla Luddington, Justin Chambers) hit a relationship bump when she admits she hasn’t told him everything. The custody arrangement involving Arizona and Callie (Jessica Capshaw, Sara Ramirez) means adjustments for them. Ben (Jason George) rushes to assist a friend.

7 p.m. on ) WGN DC’s Legends of Tomorrow It’s only been a few months, but Rip (Arthur Darvill) decides the Legends have paid their dues and lets each determine his or her own path in the first-season finale, “Legendary.” The process isn’t easy, since each of the individuals must choose between personal desires and the bigger mission of protecting the world. Sara (Caity Lotz) learns about sister Laurel’s fate from their father (Paul Blackthorne).

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Bones Members of music’s Pentatonix are appropriate guest stars in the new episode “The Strike in the Chord,” as the Jeffersonian team probes the death of an a capella group’s leader at a university. Suspects include other members who weren’t too happy with the victim, as well as those in a rival group. Aubrey’s (John Boyd) own college background is revealed during the probe. Hodgins (TJ Thyne) takes action to improve his condition.

Jessica Capshaw stars in “Grey’s Anatomy” Thursday on ABC. 7:31 p.m. on ^ WBBM The Odd Couple Wanting Oscar and Emily (Matthew Perry, Lindsay Sloane) to get to know each other better — and, hopefully, become mutually friendlier — Felix (Thomas Lennon) sets them up on a date in the new episode “Odd Man Out.” Teddy (Wendell Pierce) tries to steer Dani (Yvette Nicole Brown) through her first experience of negotiating a contract. Another episode, reuniting Lennon with his former “Reno 911!” colleague Robert Ben Garant, airs an hour later.

8 p.m. on % WMAQ The Blacklist Is it possible that, after a shocking death, the task force is about to lose another member? The drama’s Season 3 finale, “Alexander Kirk: Conclusion,” provides the answer. Reddington (James Spader) and the agents are on the verge of capturing the person behind that recent loss when a double-cross from within their ranks leaves the outcome in serious doubt. Harry Lennix and Diego Klattenhoff also star.

8 p.m. on _ WLS The Catch The drama series ends its season with back-to-back episodes. First, in “The Happy Couple,” a surprise visitor unnerves Ben (Peter Krause), while Alice’s (Mireille Enos) therapy proves beneficial in helping her try to catch Ben and his crew. Then, “The Wedding” challenges Ben to keep Alice safe while a major con goes down during a lavish marriage ceremony.

8 p.m. on ) WGN The 100 Certain events during Season 3 have confirmed anything can happen and no one is safe on this series, and that runs right up to the season finale, “Perverse Instantiation — Part Two.” Circumstances could mark the end of the road for other characters, but any survivors will continue into the already definite Season 4. Stars include Eliza Taylor, Paige Turco, Isaiah Washington, Henry Ian Cusick, Bob Morley, Marie Avgeropoulos, Lindsey Morgan and Devon Bostick.

8 p.m. on @ WFLD American Grit How do you get across 60 feet without ever touching the ground? That’s the latest challenge for the contestants, as the new episode “Squat Till You Drop” inspires them to build bridges — in the most literal sense. As usual, “The Circus” awaits those who fail to meet the task, with host John Cena and the cadre of military veterans advising the participants and trying to steer them to up to $1 million in rewards.

8:01 p.m. on ^ WBBM Mom The title of the seriocomic show’s thirdseason finale, “Atticus Finch and the Downtrodden,” does a neat job of incorporating the iconic lawyer character from Harper Lee’s classic novel “To Kill a Mockingbird.” The reference here is to Christy (Anna Faris), whose own aim to become an attorney may be thwarted by the cost of the related education. Bonnie (Allison Janney) has to exert some tough love on the newly returned Violet (Sadie Calvano).

9 p.m. on ^ WBBM Rush Hour “Pretty Little Liars” fans are very familiar with Janel Parrish, and she tackles a different role — that of trial witness — in the new episode “Wind Beneath My Wingman.” Carter (Justin Hires) has a morethan-professional interest in keeping her safe from her ex-boss and his minions before she gives her testimony.

9:01 p.m. on % WMAQ Game of Silence Jessie and Jackson (Bre Blair, David Lyons) try to move past the respective relationship problems they’re having to seek information at a ranch owned by Ray Carroll (Conor O’Farrell) in the new episode “Road Trip.” They’re quite surprised by what they find when they get there. Shawn (Larenz Tate) lands in trouble that has a racial undercurrent. Gil (Michael Raymond James) drowns his sorrows.

Claire Coffee stars in “Grimm” Friday on NBC.

7 p.m. on % WMAQ Grimm “Beginning of the End, Parts One and Two” pretty much sums up the series’ twohour Season 5 finale ... but fans needn’t worry, since there will be a Season 6.

Black Claw’s determination to take over Portland makes Hank (Russell Hornsby) a target and prompts Nick (David Giuntoli) to take action. Adalind and Capt. Renard (Claire Coffee, Sasha Roiz) try to come to grips with their new circumstances.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Beyond the Tank Arianna Huffington plays a key role, via Kevin O’Leary, in possibly keeping a California couple’s honeymoon-related finding site going in this new episode. Lori Greiner advises the Florida developer of a beanbag chair that can be converted into a bed. Barbara Corcoran revisits her very first “Shark Tank” deal as she weighs in

on the latest plan of the Washington, D.C., marketers of a barbecue spice rub — an idea that will require government approval.

7 p.m. on ) WGN Masters of Illusion Seen lately on “Supergirl,” former television “Superman” Dean Cain is back for a third season of introducing professional tricksters on this series, which covers virtually every variety of magic. That’s indicated by the title of the new episode “Techno Magic, Quick Change and a Guillotine,” in which the featured acts include Greg Frewin, Barry and Stuart, Jason Bishop, Michael Grandinetti and Jonathan Pendragon. Another episode follows.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Undercover Boss Normally seen on Sundays, the series gets a special Friday airing with a new episode that takes the CEO of the United Real Estate Group deep inside the firm’s workings. Dan Duffy gets to experience what it’s like to deal with prospective home buyers as he assumes various roles to work alongside some of the realtors in his employ. They aren’t based only in America but globally, and he takes special note of their knowledge of the properties and their demeanor with clients.

8 p.m. on _ WLS Shark Tank Since the aim of anyone who goes before the Sharks usually is to land a business deal, it’s unexpected — to put it mildly — that somebody would turn down the offer.

Such a rejection happens in this finale of the show’s seventh season, and to risk understatement, one of the Sharks does not take it well.

8 p.m. on ) WGN The Originals It all could be over for the Mikaelsons in “The Bloody Crown,” the third-year finale.

Klaus (Joseph Morgan) stands trial and is answerable for centuries’ worth of his actions, prompting Elijah (Daniel Gillies), Freya (Riley Voelkel) and Kol (guest star Nathaniel Buzolic) to do whatever they can to save him.

9 p.m. on + WTTW Jazz The penultimate episode of Ken Burns’ 2001 documentary series, “The Adventure (1955-1960),” recalls how jazz was set free in a sense by the growth of rock music as well as rhythm and blues. Experimentation became the genre’s norm, but also set off a controversy about exactly what jazz was, based on what it had been.

That debate hasn’t dissipated in the years since. Sonny Rollins, Sarah Vaughan, Miles Davis and John Coltrane are among the icons featured.

The Weeknd is among the nominees in the 2016 Billboard Music Awards Sunday on ABC. 7 p.m. on @ WFLD The Simpsons Marge Simpson, Prison Convict? It happens in the new episode “Orange Is the New Yellow,” which wraps up the animated comedy’s 27th season.

7:30 p.m. on @ WFLD Bob’s Burgers Several of Tina’s (voice of Dan Mintz) most closely held theories are put to the test as she volunteers at a nursing home in “Secret Admiral-irer,” the first of two new stories that end the animated comedy’s sixth season on this night. Cloris Leachman and Gary Cole (“Veep”) are guest voices here. An hour later, the show’s 100th episode — “Glued, Where’s My Bob?” — finds a reporter’s visit very badly timed for Bob (voice of H. Jon Benjamin).

8:30 p.m. on % WMAQ Crowded A big surprise is in store for the family when they reach Bob’s (Stacy Keach) cabin in “Come Back,” the sitcom’s finale.

Someone is already there: Mike’s (Patrick Warburton) mother (guest star Debra Monk), who’s a fugitive from the law. Old wounds are reopened as the situation is assessed, and some information could have a lasting impact on everyone present.

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM NCIS They’ve been on separate CBS series, but Mark Harmon’s life depends on Jon Cryer — in character, that is — as the “Two and a Half Men” alum starts a guest arc, playing the wounded Gibbs’ surgeon, in “Stop the Bleeding.” The operation occurs on a Navy vessel while DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) teams with CIA operative Joanna Teague (returning guest star Mimi Rogers) in Shanghai to dismantle the Calling. Pauley Perrette also stars.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Movie: Toy Story In Disney/Pixar’s original, computeranimated 1995 movie hit — which, not surprisingly, spawned a hugely successful franchise — Tom Hanks lends his voice to toy cowboy Woody, whose happy life with his owner’s other playthings is threatened by the arrival of flashy action hero Buzz Lightyear (voice of Tim Allen).

10:29 p.m. on % WMAQ Saturday Night Live You can go home again: Just ask former cast member Fred Armisen, who returns — after spending recent years on “Portlandia” and as the weeknight bandleader on “Late Night With Seth Meyers” — to host the final show of this series’ 41st season. Don’t be surprised to see Meyers himself pop in here, and possibly some other “SNL” alumni as well. Australian singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett is the musical guest. The current cast includes Cecily Strong.

Charlie Saxton stars in “Cooper Barrett’s Guide to Surviving Life” Saturday on Fox.
