“I love Batavia because – for the very most part – I have everything here I need to be happy, mostly the people.” – Bill McGrath, Batavia city administrator

Send us a sentence or two about something you love in Batavia to batavia@shawmedia.com and we’ll share it in print and online at KCChronicle.com.

Two new interns start at the Chronicle The Kane County Chronicle welcomed two new interns in May. Claire Jacobi is majoring in journalism/ strategic communications at Butler University in Indiana, and Kaitlyn Veto is majoring in communication arts and minoring in studio art in graphic design at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

I had the interns interview each other so they could further hone their journalism skills and get to know one another. An edited version of their interview follows.

Kaitlyn Veto: How did you get involved with journalism?

Claire Jacobi: I’ve always loved to write. Since I was a kid, I used to write stories and keep a journal, and then when I got to high school I just started taking journalism classes and realized that I really liked to write, and I wrote for the newspaper in high school. And then I just decided that I wanted to major in it and keep going in college.

Veto: What was your favorite story/event that you ever wrote or covered?

Jacobi: I love football, so I covered Butler football this past fall. There

EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK Kathy Balcazar wasn’t a specific game, but I covered the homecoming game, and that’s always fun because there is so much other stuff going on. So that was a big one, and that actually got put into our print edition, so that was kind of a big accomplishment for me.

Veto: Tell us a little more about yourself in terms of school/hobbies/etc.

Jacobi: I’m from Batavia, and I’ve lived here my whole life, so I grew up reading the Chronicle. I love writing, obviously, and I also like to run and spend time with my family and friends.

Jacobi: What do you hope to accomplish from your internship at the KCC? Veto: I would really love to learn how a real, professional newspaper works and see how Kane County Chronicle photo editor Sandy Bressner carries out her business, and use those skills to apply them to wherever I go in the future.

Batavia police: Man assaults store employee, attempts carjacking

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Within a matter of minutes on May 20, a Blackberry Township man not only assaulted a furniture store employee in Batavia but also tried to carjack a woman in a nearby department store’s parking lot, according to the Batavia Police Department.

Detective Sgt. Shawn Mazza said at 2:46 p.m., Marvell officers were called M. Frye to Art Van Furniture, where Marvell M. Frye started a verbal argument with an employee who had offered his assistance. Frye, who swore at the employee, grabbed something on display and threw it at him, Mazza said, noting the employee was not struck.

Frye, 22, apparently walked from the store, 165 N. Randall Road, to the nearby Kohl’s, 251 N. Randall Road, Mazza said.

There, he said, Frye approached a vehicle, opened its door and told the woman inside to get out of the car. He repeated the order after she didn’t comply, Mazza said, adding she was able to then close and lock the door.

Police responded to Kohl’s just before 3 p.m. after getting a call about a suspicious person acting erratically, Mazza said. He noted Frye also stole merchandise.

Frye, of the 39W400 block of Herrington Boulevard in Blackberry Township near Geneva, was charged with assault, retail theft and attempted vehicular invasion. Online records May 26 indicated Frye was being held at the Kane County jail on $100,000 bond.

Jacobi: What is your favorite thing you’ve ever photographed?

Veto: My favorite thing would probably have to be, not the championship game of Wisconsin vs. Duke, but the game before that, so the Final Four game of Wisconsin vs. Kentucky. … Kentucky was undefeated, and I go to Wisconsin and we beat them. And so that was just so much energy in the room, and it was so exciting. And to be able to photograph that, it was huge for our paper, and it was just super awesome to be able to do that.

Jacobi: What would you like to do after college, or what are some of your career goals?

Veto: I don’t really know right now. I would love to work for a paper or really do anything photography-based. Whether that’s like weddings or portraits or newspapers or commercial, I would just really love anything behind a camera.

All Spoked Up owners and bike enthusiasts connect Batavia youths in need with bicycles

By SUSAN O’NEILL editorial@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – All Spoked Up owners Matt Knowles and Scott Jessup are bike enthusiasts, Batavia Bicycle Commission members and passionate about the sport.

Their bike shop, 3 Webster St., located along the bike path on the east side of the Fox River in Batavia, carries a wide range of kids, cruiser, road, mountain, fixed-gear and BMX bicycles for sale and provides service and maintenance on all types of bicycles.

Knowles, who has been on the bicycle commission for seven years, said he has always wanted to create some sort of bike trade-in program.

Several years ago, with the help of a startup grant through the Safe Routes to School program, the bicycle commission, All Spoked Up and CHIP IN Batavia partnered to create Bikes for Batavia.

The mission of CHIP IN Batavia, which stands for “Community Helpers Impacting People In Need,” is to support students in temporary or transitioning housing situations or who are facing the obstacles of poverty in Batavia. Bikes for Batavia, a philanthropic outreach program through All Spoked Up, accepts donations of bicycles in rideable condition, repairs them and gives them to children – and adults – who need transportation for school, work and shopping.

CHIP IN Batavia donates an amount of money each year to help with the cost of bike repair, and other Batavia organizations, such as the Rotary Club, also donate funding to assist with the costs. Cadence Health has provided free helmets, and the program has received cable locks through the Olympic Bike Supply in Milwaukee.

Individuals who wish to donate a gently used bicycle can drop them off at All Spoked Up, where they are repaired and stored until a student comes to pick them up.

Counselors at several elementary, middle and high schools in the Batavia School District identify students in need and conduct the preliminary screening of the recipients. They provide information about the students, such as whether they are a boy or a girl, as well as their height and grade level, to All Spoked Up, which then matches the bike to the student.

The students come to the bike shop

Batavia-inspired artist paints the town

By JON BELTRANO jbeltrano@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – For the past few months, Christopher Cudworth has been piecing together the themes of Batavia. The city’s wildlife, progression in science and emphasis on the arts and community have been his focus.

Cudworth and Kerri Ann Branson, 2-D Water Street Studios artists, were commissioned by Batavia Enterprises Inc. Vice President Austin Dempsey to create wall-hung art pieces for the new entrance at Water Street Studios near the back end of the studio building, which will be adjacent to the parking lot on First Street.

Cudworth said he intends to reveal the diversity of Batavia’s community through the project while also educating residents with knowledge about the roots of their home.

Originally, Dempsey first approached Branson with the commission pitch. Branson, from studio 10 at Water Street Studios, included longtime friend Cudworth in the project.

Cudworth made the proposal to hang a series of six paintings – each showcasing the qualities and strengths he found Batavia to be famous for.

Those aspects are nature, history, commerce, community, progress and the arts.

“I thought, well, what would Batavia be receptive to in terms of an idea?” Cudworth said. “I thought, you know what, give something that sort of challenges people perceptually and yet everyone can relate to. So that’s what I was trying to do – was strike a balance between the pictorial and the symbolic.”

Cudworth, from studio 17 at Water Street Studios, gave each 20-by20-inch canvas painting a theme he thought best described Batavia and its virtues. Cudworth, a resident of Batavia, said he admired the city for its idea-driven, diverse community.

He worked to portray montages of local icons and symbols on each piece according to its theme.

One topic expressed was the history of the city. The background in that related piece is a portrait of the local windmill factory that was located near Water Street Studios. On the ground, two Native Americans kneel and look toward the earth. He said the natives depicted represent the Pottawatomie and Sauk tribes that ignited the beginning of Batavia’s history. Their connection to the earth began the community, he said.

The painting goes through the

Christopher Cudworth of Batavia, in his studio at the at Water Street Studios, is currently producing a series of artwork about Batavia.

Cudworth shows off some of his artwork in his studio in Batavia. historic icons in the development of Batavia’s history, including Christopher Payne and Mary Todd Lincoln.

The piece begins with Native Americans and concludes with Mayor Jeff Schielke centering the piece.

Another canvas was devoted to the theme of community. The painting is a snapshot view of Wilson Street during autumn. The scene looks onward from the top of the hill adjacent

to the public library.

“I put it into a fall period … one of those fall days where the light’s very low from the south and it’s just bursting through town and you get the golden view of the community,” Cudworth said.

Hovering above the city in that piece is a group of residents. Batavia’s sports achievements are highlighted among the diverse crowd. A

football player models a red and gold jersey, and Lamar Justice, a notable Batavia student-athlete, triple jumps over Wilson Street.

“The town has a pretty strong commitment to racial integration,” Cudworth said. “I just thought Lamar triple jumping, this sort of soaringthrough-the-air notion of achievement, was a nice thing to capture the idea or the vision of what achievement is; it’s always in increments.

It’s these little moments that we see and remember and become part of our personal history. That’s what I’m showing there – that there’s the idea of achievement, there’s the actual doing, and there’s this everyman support for the community.”

Each of the six painting’s depictions of city icons is both literal and abstract. Cudworth said they act as an allegory or a parable for the city of Batavia.

“That’s how our brains work when you think about different things,” Cudworth said. “When you think of community and you ask people to think of Batavia, they might think of something physical, but they also might think of something conceptual.”

“We experienced this – in middle school especially – but sometimes in elementary school,” Briden said.

“When all sixth-grade schools went to one middle school, things got crazy,” Beem added.

The quintet’s presentation, entitled “Clique Crusher Night,” aimed to end bullying through team-building activities meant to take potential bullies out of their comfort zone and actually get to know other people.

“We came up with it because we’re sick and tired of people being bullied and being stuck in cliques, and we wanted to help stop it,” Cortez said.

They received help along the way from Keith Glavan’s students in the St. Charles East Virtual Enterprises In-

ternational class.

Seven students from that class met with the girls to smooth out the rough edges of the presentation, Kelly Peplansky said. It also earned the girls their entrepreneurship badge.

“Paul Harvey, Matt Chau, Anthony Serafini, Jack Kimberley, Jacob Krueger, Adrianna Koczwara and Jacob Stellon helped the girls assemble the PowerPoint, refine and clarify their ideas and fit what they wanted to say into a fivepoint business plan presentation,” she said.

The presentation also helped the girls advance through their Scout careers.

“It will also help us earn our Silver and Gold awards.

We already have our Bronze,” Madi Peplansky said.

Flag Day Committee seeking singers for pop-up chorus

By BEN DRAPER bdraper@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – The Batavia Flag Day Committee is looking for singers to join a Patriotic Pop-Up Chorus to perform at the Batavia 100th Anniversary of Flag Day Celebration on June 14.

The performance will take place at the Peg Bond Center, 151 N. Island Ave., Batavia, along the Batavia Riverwalk, which will sparkle with U.S. flags and 1,777 luminarias.

Anyone over the age of 15 is

welcome to join the chorus, regardless of where he or she resides. There will be one rehearsal at the United Methodist Church, 8 N. Batavia Ave., Batavia, at 7 p.m. June 13.

“Batavia already has a community band, but we thought a community chorus might be fun. The only problem is that people are so busy, especially this time of the year with graduations and weddings,” committee member Sammi King said. “We decided to do a chorus that has one rehearsal at 7 p.m. at the

United Methodist Church.”

Directing the chorus is Gregor King, currently a music teacher in the DeKalb school district and a graduate of Batavia High School. King also sings with two professional choirs, the St. Charles Singers and Cor Cantiamo.

Previously, King organized and directed the Cambridge Lakes Community Choir.

“We’re calling this a ‘Patriotic Pop-Up Chorus’ since we will only have one rehearsal,” Gregor King said. “It should be a great opportunity for

singers to come together, enjoy singing some new music and have fun doing it.”

Songs will include “Yankee Doodle Dandy,” “Over There,” “Grand Old Flag,” and “America, the Beautiful.” For chorus planning purposes, those interested in participating can RSVP on the “Batavia Flag Day Patriotic Pop Up Chorus” event page on Facebook.

For more information, along with downloadable music and words to the songs, visit www.BataviaFlagDay. com.

Cudworth majored in fine arts and English at Luther College in Iowa. He had focused on realism painting because of his lifelong fascination with nature. After his wife passed away from a battle with cancer, Cudworth returned to painting, but more abstractly.

Birds and landscape were behind him, and he wanted to be less representational.

“When I came back to painting, it was like my brain was changed,” Cudworth said. “So all of a sudden I started doing more compositional things and not necessarily paint just birds or wildlife. … I wanted to start expressing other things.”

He explored abstraction through the icons, montages and painting flexibility. He said sometimes he let the paint coordinate its own course on the canvas; he added splotches of colors to illustrate liveliness in certain themes, such as commerce.

“I wanted the paint to have a vibrancy or almost to depict energy in every one of these,” Cudworth said. “Rather than painting realistic in state, I kept it very paint-brushy because I wanted it to have vitality.”

Branson and Cudworth both have been depicting Batavia in an abstract form.

“What I wanted to do was [have] him come up with a concept,” Branson said. “He loves Batavia’s history, and I would bounce off of that because I’m abstract. We climbed to the top of the rooftop with Austin and looked at the whole Batavia world … . We really got inspired.”

Branson has been making liquid metal medium-based artwork such as steel and copper representations of local subjects for the upcoming exhibit. She has used abstract art for the past four years as a means of therapy. She said she supports Cudworth’s ability and relaxed attitude toward his new work.

“I’m just so impressed with what he came up with,” Branson said. “I love the colors and the flow that he uses. He puts a little bit of an abstract dimension to it.”

The exhibit is still under construction. The unveiling date is set to take place in or around June.

What started as an idea to combat bullying and cliques, ended with five Batavia Girl Scouts speaking to nearly 100 St. Charles East students May 25.

The five scouts – Rachel Shankland, 12, Madeline Cortez, 11, Grace Beem, 12, Madison Briden, 12, and Madi Peplansky, 12 – are all members of Troop 4919 and Rotolo Middle School students. They presented their idea to the Peer Leadership group at St. Charles East.

“It was part of one of the badges we do. It’s a ‘Journey,’ so you do three parts to it. The first two parts [are] usually learning about stuff and doing activities, and the third part

is doing something about it,” Shankland said.

Kelly Peplansky, Madi Peplansky’s mom and one of the Scout leaders for Troop 4919, was able to set up the presentation at St. Charles East. She works as an interpreter for the deaf at the school.

“This whole thing started with the girls needing to finish a Journey (a set of badges).

The girls chose to focus on an activity addressing bullying and cliques. The presentation and program is meant to be like an educational curriculum, offering a class or workshop on how to address bullying and cliques in the school setting, in a fun and educational way,” said Kelly Peplansky.

The subject seemed a personal one to the girls.

Plan to bring Blue Goose to Batavia has wings Developer, market owner seek TIF deal

By MARK FOSTER editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – The two key personalities in the multimillion-dollar effort to open a Blue Goose Market in the Batavia Plaza shopping center are confident the project will fly.

Blue Goose General Manager and President Paul Lencioni and Batavia Enterprises Inc. Vice President Austin Paul Lencioni Dempsey said during separate interviews that the new supermarket could be open by fall 2017.

“It’s a very realistic date,” Lencioni said.

The supermarket, which has been a fixture in St. Charles since 1928, would occupy the space recently vacated by Walgreens, which moved across the parking lot into a new building developed by BEI. Located in the 100 block of West Wilson Street in the heart of downtown, BEI’s Batavia Plaza boasts a variety of businesses and for nearly three decades was home to a Jewel grocery store.

The combination of Blue Goose and Walgreens will make downtown Batavia a destination for shoppers, Dempsey said.

“We’re going to have the potential of two amazing anchors,” Dempsey said.

“We want to take this block and turn it into a huge economic engine for Batavia.”

The results of a marketing study commissioned by Lencioni show that locating a Blue Goose in Batavia is feasible.

“It’s a greenlight number,” Lencioni said. “There is room in the market.”

The new store will have about 70 full- and part-time employees, Lencioni said, and all of the offerings that make the St. Charles store a popular destination, including a deli, butcher shop and grill.

“I’m bringing the whole party,” Lencioni said.

But first, BEI must produce a space that is ready to accommodate the Blue Goose.

In an interview, Dempsey produced conceptual drawings showing a remodeled shopping center with a new façade and towers rising from the northeast and northwest corners of the building.

The canopy that shields pedestrians from the elements would remain, Dempsey said.

There is now a barreled roof above

the space to be occupied by the Blue Goose. Inside, removal of the drop ceiling would reveal a stunning wooden truss system and create an open-air feel to the space.

The 12,652-square-foot space will need to be expanded, Dempsey said, with a service alley to the south being a likely prospect.

Another possibility would be expanding east into the space now occupied by the popular Daddio’s Diner and relocating the diner into a newly renovated space at the south end of the plaza.

“Nothing is off the table,” Dempsey said.

Lencioni said he will be making a multimillion-dollar investment.

Dempsey was more circumspect, but it is clear BEI will be investing as well.

To help finance the project, BEI wants to tap into the city of Batavia’s tax increment financing district fund to pay for the relocation of utilities and other costs. In a TIF district, property tax payments to units of local government are frozen, and any additional revenue generated by increased value is placed in a fund designed to cover public improvements.

Batavia Enterprises wants an agreement with the city to be completed by the end of the summer so interior work can begin this fall and exterior renovations can start in the spring.

Batavia officials eye ambitious mixed-use project downtown

By MARK FOSTER editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – The vacant Baptist Church building would be demolished to clear the way for a multistory, mixed-use development in downtown Batavia that city officials are hoping to create.

The church building, at the northwest corner of East Wilson Street and North Washington Avenue, has been owned by the city for about a decade and is deteriorating.

The space occupied by the church, the parking lot to the north and nearby properties extending to North River Street would be part of a new tax increment financing district, city economic development consultant Chris Aiston said.

The redevelopment project would include street-level commercial space, apartments or condominiums on upper levels and public parking, Aiston said.

The redevelopment project would

be a public-private partnership, Aiston said.

Both Aiston and City Administrator Bill McGrath said the city has a prospective developer for the project.

City officials would not confirm whether they are in negotiations to purchase the insurance office building and dentist’s office building immediately west of the church building, but these properties would be included in the new TIF district.

McGrath said the project could involve the “reshuffling” of property uses in the affected area. For example, the ground level of the parking deck along North River Street could be repurposed for retail commercial space, he said To help move the project forward, the city is asking Batavia School District 101 to agree to a modification of the complex rules governing TIF districts.

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

“It’s an aggressive timeline,” Dempsey said.

The Kane County Chronicle recently submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the city seeking documents submitted to the city by BEI. The city denied the Chronicle’s request, citing the law’s exemption for proprietary business information.

City officials say they want the project to happen and have invested $12,500 for an independent consultant to analyze the TIF deal.

“The project as described will not create any TIF increment,” City Administrator Bill McGrath said. “BEI may have to give incentives to Blue Goose.”

Ultimately, those incentives may end up being funded, indirectly, by the taxpayer, McGrath said.

The key incentive would be the amount of the rent payment to BEI from Blue Goose. A low rent would have an effect on the plaza’s market value.

BEI seems to be seeking TIF monies to offset the lowered value that could result and hoping strong public support for bringing the Blue Goose to Batavia will make the expenditure of tax money palatable.

“I [love] Blue Goose” yard signs have been sprouting up around the city, testament to the many Batavians who make the trip to St. Charles to shop at the Blue Goose.

public improvements.

During a presentation to the Batavia School Board on May 24, Aiston asked the board to waive the normal 40 percent “set aside” for the school district in order to maximize the city’s bonding power while guaranteeing the district would receive its customary revenue for any new students generated by the development.

The project’s residential component will be designed to attract singles, young couples and empty nesters, so few if any new students are expected

as a result.

However, the city also wants the same arrangement for the existing TIF district for West Town, the near-west side portion of the city which is blighted by old industrial properties. Redevelopment there is expected to result in an increase in school enrollment.

“The city will make the school district whole with respect to its cost to educate any new students residing in TIF-assisted housing,” Aiston said.

School board members generally reacted favorably to the proposal.

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto pretty hard to misidentify. Sure, many individuals look just like those short blades of cut grass that stick to doors and siding after a mower passes by.

But once you spot one, you’ll find their primary feature is absolutely fascinating. They are shaped like the letter T. Plume moths have slender wings, which they hold perpendicular to their body. Concealed beneath the forewings are a pair of hindwings that, typically, have fringes, and are responsible for the “plume” part of the moths’ common name.

But what’s even cooler is how the moths, to ramp up that dried vegetation-like camouflage, actually roll the edges of their lobed forewings around the fringed hindwings. With those irregular borders neatly tucked away, and their stance stock still, like dead grass, it’s no wonder the moths are so often overlooked.

BugGuide.net says that nearly 150 species of plume moth live in North America, and more than a few live here in northeastern Illinois. But because accurate identification requires examining individuals in intimate detail – really intimate, if you know what I mean – we’ll be content today to refer to them at the family level.

Like any gathering of relatives, the Pterophoridae have some representatives that are more desirable, and some that are less. Among the latter we have the snapdragon and geranium plumes, the caterpillars of which cause damage to their namesake flowers. But among the former we have the horehound plume and the bindweed plume, which have been used to help control invasive plants.

If the showy ostentatiousness of spring has got you down, and you’re looking for a peaceful respite from the color and din, head to a porch or patio that has an (ideally night-sky friendly) outdoor light.

Plume moths are, after all, moths.

See MOTHS, page 14

Muted in color and quiet in habit, plume moths can be identified by the characteristic “T” posture they adopt while at rest.

You’ve got to be careful this time of year.

Springtime – that long-awaited, much-heralded season of color and warmth – can be positively overwhelming. The sights of brightly colored blooms and birds in breeding plumage; the sounds of mating calls and territory songs; the sweet smells of plants doing their darndest to attract pollinators …

With your senses on overload, you may decide you need a break.

Something small and plain, quiet and odorless.

You might find you need a plume moth.

These guys, members of the family Pterophoridae, are about as quiet and nondescript as they come. Often described as looking like dried grass, even their depictions are refreshingly bland.

But when you take the time to look at them, really observe their traits, you soon see they rank pretty high on the Springtime Scale of Spectacularness.

Memorial Day program salutes fallen veterans

By VIOLET MARQUARDT editorial@kcchronicle.com KANEVILLE – Despite being a smaller community, the village of Kaneville makes sure to pack a lot of heart into honoring its veterans. On Memorial Day, the village hosted its 121st annual Memorial Day program as a way to show gratitude and respect to fallen veterans.

Celebrating Memorial Day in Kaneville goes beyond just a barbecue and a few American flags displayed.

Planning each year’s program takes a few months, said Steve Gramley, head program coordinator.

“We start thinking about it a few months out,” Gramley said. “But a bulk of the planning and preparation happens a few weeks prior.”

Dozens of community members gathered outside of the KanevilleDan Werdin Community Center for the day’s program. When Kaneville comes together to remember its veterans, practically the whole community joins in.

“It’s all about showing support for the troops,” volunteer Kent Scholl said. “We try to do whatever we can to make people more aware of the sac-

rifices [the troops] have made for us.

Even though we are a little town, it’s something important to us.”

The program began inside the Community Center with the presentation of the colors by the color guard – in this case, veteran Gramley. Even the young were heavily involved in the ceremony as boys from Cub Scout Dens 2 and 12 led community members in the pledge of allegiance.

This year, the ceremony featured speaker Bob Beck from Operation Support Our Troops. The mission of Operation Support Our Troops is to support the morale and well-being of American troops through sending care packages and providing myriad resources to soldiers and their families while they are deployed.

“We [started] looking for a speaker at the event back in December,” Gramley said. “This year’s speaker [Bob Beck] had a son deployed in the military so he was telling the community about the program and how it helps the troops.”

After Beck’s speech, the community joined together to sing patriotic songs, from “God Bless America” to “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” all accompanied by Dan Alfrey.

There are more than 80 veterans’ graves in Kaneville Cemetery. The veterans have the distinction of fighting in several different wars, dating to the War of 1812. It is individuals such as these that Memorial Day is all about, Gramley said.

In an effort to show respect to these fallen veterans, the community joined in a march to the Kaneville Cemetery.

Led by a drummer, color guard and veterans, the public marched down Main Street toward the cemetery. Once at the cemetery, children in the community decorated the soldiers’ graves with American flags, and red, white and blue carnations.

Karl Kettlekamp then played taps, a call sounded at the end of a military funeral.

After the events of the program concluded, community members joined once more in front of the Community Center for doughnuts and drinks, provided by Harner’s Bakery and Restaurant of North Aurora.

Since turnout is always quite high for the Memorial Day program in Kaneville, Gramley said he does not expect it to grow much in the coming years.

Continued from page 13 Most fly at night but often end up attracted to light sources, which is where you can find them in the daytime.

At Hickory Knolls Discovery Center we often encounter light-colored individuals camped out on our building’s dark brown siding and door frames.

In fact, just the other day I spotted a few and, yep, was completely fooled by their coloration and camouflage.

Me: “Oh, I guess the crew mowed here today.”

Me again (I was alone at the time): “Wait a minute … .”

Grandchildren as viewed by a person with Macular Degeneration

Same scene of Grandchildren as viewed through telescope glasses.

For many patients with macular degeneration, glaucoma or other eye diseases, the loss of vision can signal the end of independence and the joy of life. Illinois optometrist, Dr. Ronald Weingart, OD, prescribes miniature telescope glasses to help people who have reduced vision see better.

“Many patients truly appreciate the functional advantages that these low vision devices have to offer them by improving their ability to conduct activities of daily living”, said Dr. Ronald Weingart, OD, who received training in Low Vision at the

International Academy of Low Vision Specialists.

Imagine special glasses that can improve your vision enough to change your life. “We explore all options to allow the patients to see better and realize the full potential of their vision” says Dr. Weingart, OD.

Hanging out I guess I’ve always taken water towers for granted, just assuming that they were always there and my water somehow magically appeared in my kitchen faucet or shower.

My regular route to and from work usually includes passing through northern St. Charles via Route 25, and I have passed the construction of the new water tower at Route 25 and Red Gate Road about a thousand times.

I hadn’t really noticed it until my husband, who is fascinated with infrastructure and engineering, started asking me about the construction progress and whether it was painted yet. He became so interested in this water tower, I started calling it HIS water tower.

So a couple of weeks ago, I was excited to see that there were in fact painters working, on a Sunday no less, on my husband’s water tower.

National health leaders recognize Hultgren for health care innovation KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com The Healthcare Leadership Council, a coalition of leaders of the nation’s premier health care companies and organizations, has honored U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren as a “Champion of Healthcare Innovation” at an award ceremony in Washington, D.C. Hultgren introduced an Affordable Care Act waiver bill in June 2015 that aimed to empower states such as Illinois to build their own ACA alternatives.

The award presentation took place at the council’s annual Healthcare Innovations Expo on Capitol Hill. The daylong event is dedicated to showcasing new developments in health care technologies, treatments and practic-

es. This year’s event featured, among other displays, emerging cancer therapies, virtual-reality technologies to assist veterans with post-combat stress challenges, and uses of health-data sharing to combat opioid abuse and addiction.

“We’re on the verge of a remarkable era in American health care. Genomic and biologic research, improved data analytics and advanced mobile technologies are enabling people to live longer, healthier lives,” HLC President Mary R. Grealy said in a news release.

“To continue this exciting transformation, we need visionary leadership and sound policymaking. We honored Rep. Hultgren for providing important advocacy and leadership for patients and consumers.”

Songwriter Julie Patchouli and guitarist Bruce Hecksel return to “Music in the Gallery” to light up the air with sparkling acoustic sounds and their powerful, contagious chemistry. Patchouli delivers a “New American Folk” music that blends elements of pop, folk, jazz and flamenco with world beat rhythms – “the harmonies of Simon and Garfunkel meet the guitar brilliance of the Gipsy Kings.”

ELBURN – Railside Citrus Insurance Agency, 109 N. Main St., Elburn, recently announced that Deb Formeller of South Elgin has joined the firm to further enhance customer service, according to a news release.

Formeller brings 30 years of insurance e x p e r i e n c e t o t h e Deb firm.

Formeller “We are very excited to have Deb aboard,” Railside Citrus President Dave Broz said in the release. “We were lucky to find somebody with her tal- Dave Broz ents. She is a great fit for the experience we strive to give all of our clients – she is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and she really cares about our clients.”

Licensed in property and casualty insurance, Formeller will focus most of her time servicing business clients, the release stated.

“I’m excited to help our clients,” Formeller said. “I’m looking forward to answering our clients’ questions and helping them with all of their insurance needs.”

New restaurant to bring more dining options near college

By SUSAN O’NEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com Sugar Grove soon will have another option for dining out and meeting with friends, a restaurant located across from Waubonsee Community College at Waubonsee Drive and Route 47.

Owner Jim Ratos said the restaurant, the Burnt Barrell Inn, will be a hybrid, more up-scale sports bar with depth to its menu.

Ratos said he will be in a partnership with the owner of Legends Sports Bar & Grill in Yorkville, and the 5,000square-foot Sugar Grove restaurant will be a cross between Legends and

Lakeview Grille, also in Yorkville, which is owned and operated by Ratos’ son, Jimmy.

The menu will include fish, steaks and ribs, as well as sandwiches and other fare. On tap will be 20 specialty beers, and specialty bourbons and whiskeys also will be available.

Ratos said the name Burnt Barrell refers to the process of charring the insides of the barrels used for whiskey, which gives the whiskey a smoky flavor.

Ratos said he hopes to break ground this summer or fall, and plans to be open later this year. His land development business, Parkway Development,

is currently putting in the necessary infrastructure to develop the area.

A BP gas station will be built in the near future at the northwest corner of Waubonsee Drive and Route 47. There is room for additional development in the adjacent property, but there is nothing definite at this point.

A 1975 graduate of Waubonsee Community College, Ratos hopes the restaurant will be a convenient place for both college students as well as area residents to enjoy a meal and a good time. He noted that college students are not just young kids anymore, that older people are going back to school to retool themselves for a second and

third career.

Ratos knows about second and third careers. After graduating with an associate degree from Waubonsee, he opened a restaurant near Ottawa.

He came back to Sugar Grove in 1982 and launched the business that would become Parkway Development. Since 1985, Parkway Development has been involved with projects that have added numerous restaurants, medical specialists and other professional businesses to the area.

Ratos also brought the Fireside Grill to Sugar Grove more than a decade ago. He said he hopes Burnt Barrell Inn will be just as exciting.

GENEVA – As Flair on 3rd nears its first anniversary at 312 S. Third St. in Geneva, co-owners Debbie Love and Jeanna Gattuso said they have been wonderfully successful.

“We’re so happy to be here,” Love said. “It’s a great space. People find it. We are lucky enough to be between Graham’s Coffee and Graham’s Chocolates so that helps. And people are also still coming looking for the Irish Sisters.”

Irish Sisters Imports had operated in that location for 28 years, closing in the spring of 2015.

Love and Gattuso sold women’s and children’s items at 426 Third St. for a little over a year. They were among other independent vendors under one roof. That venture also was called Flair on 3rd, Love said.

When the Irish Sisters location became available, they took their business model of women’s and children’s clothing and accessories and moved, Gattuso said.

“It just made sense for us to be on our own,” Gattuso said. “It took a lot of thought. Is it crazy for us to move? And we are so ecstatic we did. It’s amazing.

We feel like we’re home. The community is responding in an amazing, positive way. We are jumping up and down every day.”

“It’s a big decision to move one block,” Love said. “There’s a lot of things that go through your mind.”

Before the move, they worked at their original location for the six days of Geneva’s Swedish Days Festival, did a fashion show fundraiser for cancer

Hill’s Country Store owner opens up about cancer diagnosis

By DEBBIE BEHRENDS editorial@kcchronicle.com KANEVILLE – After nine months of stabilization during treatment for breast, bone and liver cancer, Pat Hill received devastating news that the disease had spread to her brain.

An MRI brain scan in early April showed 14 cancerous lesions on her brain.

An April 16 Facebook post on Hill’s timeline reads: “This is extremely difficult to tell all of you but I had a brain MRI on Friday, and I now have brain cancer in addition to the breast, liver and bone [cancer]. I have 10 lesions in the brain, two big and eight small.”

After a visit with her oncologist, she said that number was increased to 14 – two large and 12 small.

“I’m devastated. I start radiation on Monday. Please pray for Alexa and Tyler as they are taking this very hard. I appreciate everything everyone has done for me and my family by bringing meals, saying a prayer, cards, money and letters and just words of encouragement and hope. Pray for a miracle. I am not ready to go just yet. Love you all, Pat.” Hill is well known in Kaneville. Not only is she the owner of Hill’s Country Store – known as “The Purple Store”

Also, Old Second National Bank, 2S101 Harter Road, Kaneville, is accepting donations to a fund in Pat Hill’s name.

– but she also is the village president.

Hill said she was first diagnosed with stage 4 breast, bone and liver cancer in October 2014. She underwent chemotherapy treatment and stabilized for about nine months. A routine positron emission therapy, or PET, scan showed the cancer was growing once more throughout her body.

“I started chemo again and got a bad reaction with severe headaches,” Hill said. “My doctor did a brain MRI and called me with the bad news that I now have brain cancer. But he said we would deal with it.”

Hill said her oncologist, Dr. Perry Menini at Northwester Medicine Cancer Center Delnor, started her on radiation treatments to target the cancerous cells in her brain. She then developed a methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureaus, or MRSA, infection in her leg and was in the hospital for five days.

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.

hour, one day at a time,” she said.

Her entire file of health history, test results and treatment thus far will be forwarded to both the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. She said she’s willing to travel to either location for treatment.

While she waits, Hill has gotten help from caring family members – she’s one of eight children – and numerous friends.

Her son, Tyler, graduated from Waubonsee Community College and plans to start classes at Aurora University in the fall. Her daughter, Alexa, continues to run the store and has opened her own business – Alexa’s Sweets and Treats, located inside of Hill’s Country Store.

Treatment has sapped Hill’s energy, but she said she does what she can.

Recently, she spent an afternoon supervising flower planting at Kaneville welcome signs. She said the project has been in the planning stages, with Tyler doing a lot of the digging and Alexa and other residents contributing.

“I’m pretty much stuck on the couch right now and that’s not me,” Hill said.

“I know God has a plan for me. I just wish he would show me what it is in a dream or something.”

IS YOUR CENTRAL VISION BLURRY OR CROOKED?

“I still have two infected toes,” Hill said.

“I feel like I’m really high maintenance right now, and I don’t wanna be,” she said with a laugh.

Although she’s always met her health issues with a smile and steely determination to beat them, Hill said she’s angry at her health insurance provider.

“I’m really angry that insurance wouldn’t pay for the brain scan until there was an issue. I guess one headache a week isn’t an issue,” Hill said.

“I think this could have been caught sooner, and my doctor said he won’t wait three months to do another brain scan. He’s planning to do another one in June.”

The next brain scan is the one she’s hoping will get her a second opinion and perhaps a new course of treatment – and she’s willing to travel to get both.

“Dr. Menini is awesome. He’s just so nice and so caring and very concerned about my well-being,” she said.

“He believes another doctor won’t find anything different, but he wants me to find out. Top-notch brain experts might have something different to tell me.”

She also calls the nurses at the treatment center wonderful.

Deane Anne Carlborg, née Houlahan, 86, died peacefully at her retirement community in Corte Madera, California on April 30, 2016.

Born to John Joseph and Deane Fackrell Houlahan in Salt Lake City, UT, Deane grew up in Evanston, IL. Graduating from Evanston Township High School in 1947, she received a BS in Biology from Ripon College in 1951.

After a year doing lab work at G.D. Searle & Company, she earned her Masters in Anatomy and Physiology from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana (1954) and married fellow Evanstonian Frank Carlborg in 1956. Moving to St. Charles in 1964, Deane began teaching undergraduate Anatomy and Physiology, first at Aurora College (University), and then at North Park College (University) in Chicago. In 1973, she joined the faculty at Elgin Community College (ECC), where she was a beloved teacher for 20 years. At ECC, she launched a Food Science program and was honored with the Orrin G. Thompson Excellence in Teaching Award in 1982. She moved to California in 2014.

Deane was a gregarious extrovert who loved a party and made fast friends of every age from all chapters of her life. These ranged from her Y Club, the Mitchells, who sustained an annual round-robin letter for more than 50 years, to the Gourmets, her faithful foodie-travel posse - and many of her students, of whom she was so proud. An ardent feminist, polymath, and lifelong athlete, Deane was a member of the first squad of women lifeguards on Lake Michigan and one of two women in her graduate program. She also enjoyed tennis, walks in Kane County’s beautiful parks and nature preserves, and cycling trips with her husband and friends.

She was a Girl Scout leader, member of two book clubs, board member at St. Charles Public Library, and docent at the Fabyan Villa in Geneva. A precocious musician, Deane began playing the piano by ear at age three and continued to communicate by piano as she succumbed to aphasia in the last years of her life.

Deane will be remembered by friends and family for her humor, optimism, abundant energy, and sense of adventure. Beginning with a bicycle trip through Europe upon graduation from college, she never stopped traveling or exploring the world through books, lectures, museums, the arts, and food.

Deane summed it up herself: “Life has been rich, good, fulfilling...”

Deane Carlborg was pre-deceased by Frank Carlborg, her husband of 58 years; and her brother, Michael Houlahan.

She is survived by her children, Sonja Carlborg, Anne McCormack, and Eric Carlborg; and her brother, John Houlahan. Deane was a dedicated grandmother to seven grandchildren.

How to submit

when he felt a calling to switch careers and become a salesman for Decatur Custom Tool until his retirement in 1995. He was a long time member of his home church, Grace United Methodist Church in Maple Park.

He enjoyed fishing all his life and went on many fishing trips with friends, during which it seemed he was always the treasurer and cook. Ronald didn’t even like fish, but he enjoyed the company. He and his bride also enjoyed many trips with their dear friends Joe and Marge Turk.

He leaves behind one daughter, Lori (John) Riggs; two grandchildren, Ben Riggs and Amanda (Eddie) Carlisle; and one great grandson, Levi Carlisle.

Kaneland High School Madrigal group heads to Spain

By SUZANNE FLYNN editorial@kcchronicle.com After fundraising long and hard for a trip they felt would never get here, it is now just around the corner. The Kaneland High School Madrigals are going to Spain.

Thirty-one group members will head to Spain from June 7 through 15.

“This will be the fourth trip the Madrigals have taken overseas since 2009,” said Bryan Kunstman, choir director. “We’ve been blessed to have the ability to go thanks to the funds raised through the Madrigal dinner and other opportunities.”

The Madrigal holiday dinner is the big fundraiser of the year for the group. It helps pay for their costumes and supplies for their performances throughout the year, and a portion of the proceeds from the dinner also help offset the cost of the trip.

In addition, cheesecake sales and car washes throughout the year help raise enough funds to make sure everyone in the group can afford to go on the trip, Kunstman said.

“We are also blessed to have the Dunham Fund help us offset the cost of the trip,” Kunstman said. “Without them, all of our students could not attend the trip.”

Established by John C. Dunham in 1996 and funded in 2007 by Mr. Dunham’s trust, the Dunham Fund honors his life and philanthropy through grants to organizations in the area that have the vision and programs to help fulfill his dream of “making the world a more comfortable, safer place for mankind to live and prosper.”

Julie Walker - For Shaw Media

The Kaneland High School Madrigals are going to Spain this summer. The group will be performing in Barcelona. A send-off concert will be June 2 at Baker Memorial United Methodist Church in St. Charles.

During their trip to Spain this summer, the Madrigals will perform five different concerts in cathedrals surrounding Barcelona. They will stay at a family-owned hotel just 20 miles outside of Barcelona and drive 90 minutes into town each day.

There will be a one-hour rehearsal each afternoon, and members will come together for a group dinner each evening. The students will perform a full-evening concert in each of the five cathedrals. During down time, they’ll be exploring the town.

“There will be lots of opportunity to take in the culture and visit vari-

ous historical sites,” Kunstman said.

“We’ll be using the time to learn about the amazing spaces we’ll be singing in, and sharing that time with the locals.”

Kunstman works with a European performance tour company to help him plan the tour. The tour company not only helps him keep the cost down, but they also promote the group while they are in town.

The tour company puts up promotional posters in town with the group’s picture to help spread the word about the concerts at each of the cathedrals.

“The kids get a kick out of seeing their pictures plastered all over town

on posters once we get off the tour buses,” Kunstman said.

The Kaneland High School Madrigal group has had the opportunity to travel all over Europe since 2009.

The first year they went to England.

In 2012, they traveled to New England and Scotland. In 2014, they went to Ireland.

“We have been blessed to have a very supportive administrative team, district and overly blessed with the Dunham Fund,” Kunstman said. “We thank everyone who has made it possible for this once in a lifetime experience for these kids.”

Meditative yoga class coming to Sugar Grove Public Library

By SUSAN O’NEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com The Sugar Grove Public Library invites the public to enjoy a meditative yoga class led by Juliana Cesano, a certified yoga teacher with the Theosophical Society in Wheaton.

The class, which will take place at 6:30 p.m. June 22, is free but registration is required. A library card is not needed to participate. Attendees must be 18 or older.

Previous experience is not required; the class will be appropriate for beginners. Students are encouraged to bring a mat, if they have one. A limited number of mats will be available to borrow.

The class will focus on present moment awareness of the postures. Beginning with a short meditation, it will transition into a conscious and gentle

Grove Public Library, 125 S. Municipal Drive Sugar Grove n COST: Free n INFO: sugargrove.lib.il.us. movement that will lead to a variety of different asanas or postures.

Meditation and the exploration of her spiritual path have enabled Cesano to develop a contemplative yoga practice, a lifelong pursuit of hers. Growing up in Argentina, she was initially trained in yoga there and began teaching classes in her 20s.

Recently, she spent two years at

the international headquarters of the Theological Society in Chennai, India, where she deepened her practice. She received her certification in the U.S. three years ago through Prairie Yoga in Lisle.

Cesano teaches meditative yoga classes at the Theosophical Society in Wheaton, where she also is the manager of the Society’s Quest Book Shop.

The emphasis of her classes is on present moment awareness, observing the breath and noticing what the body is telling us about the state of our mind.

“In today’s culture, we are always hurrying to get things done,” she said.

“When we drop our thoughts and connect to our breath, the mind has the capacity to heal the mind.”

Through her class, participants will experience what she calls “meditation in motion.”

Engaging in the postures in a slow, uninterrupted flow, students are able to relax and get into their own zone. It is then that the healing begins, Cesano said.

“I see the results in people,” she said. “What they learn on the mat provides the inspiration for their lives off the mat. The practice can lead to a better quality of life.”

“Besides,” she said, “it’s fun.”

Sugar Grove Library Adult Services Manager Genna Mickey said an anonymous donation from a community member received last summer has enabled the library to offer this and a number of other diverse programs.

She said there has been a lot of interest in the upcoming class, and she encourages people to sign up soon. The class can accommodate a maximum of 25 students.

OUR VIEW

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

‘Little park’ is a place I like to call home I have known my main best friend since I was 4 years old. She lives seven houses down from me on a busy residential street.

The two of us share a special bonding spot at the little park in our neighborhood. The “little park,” as my best friend and I call it, is situated between rows of houses and a small forest with dense areas of poison ivy and every critter imaginable. There is really nothing unique about the park. There is a playground with a few swirly slides and a couple of monkey bars. The park has green benches, a gazebo with a picnic table and an enormous field for kids to kick around a soccer ball.

It is simply an ordinary park, but it holds so much value.

When my best friend and I were young children, we wandered to our neighborhood park out of pure boredom and curiosity. As young kids, the two of us would run around the playground. It has always been a place where my friend and I come to reflect on life and to discuss our personal feelings.

BEFORE THE DIPLOMA Denise Cartina Whenever we arrive at the park, we always head straight for a pair of swings. I feel secure when I gently swing back and forth on that swing. I can recall sitting on the same exact swing when I was 7, 13, and now at 19 years old. Realistically, my friend and I only swing on the swings for about five minutes before we stop and begin to discuss our deepest thoughts and life problems.

I can still recall past conversations that my friend and I have had on the swings over the years, like how one of us is in love with some boy or fighting with our mothers. While the topics of our conversations shift quite a bit as we mature, the words we exchange are just as important as they were when the biggest worry we had in our lives was deciding what item to share to the class during show and tell. Perhaps it

is the quietness of the park that makes it such a peaceful place to pour our feelings out to each other. The “little park” is the one place I can escape to when I need to get out of my house and wish to chat with my best friend.

Whenever I get to sit down on the swings with my best friend and discuss our thoughts, nothing else in the world matters. My friend and I know when each other is upset, so we often walk over to the park to talk. All of my troubles seem to escape as I just take in the environment around me and slowly swing next to my best friend. The two of us have formed a connection to this “little park.”

The attachment to this park is the result of going there for more than 10 years to chat about life in a peaceful, beautiful setting.

Illinois’ budget crisis hurting colleges and universities Another consequence of Illinois’ disastrous budget impasse could hurt the state many years – decades, even – into the future.

An Associated Press review of admissions data found that applications for the 2016-17 fall semester are down at at least four of the state’s 12 public universities. Each of the universities seeing application declines are smaller schools that don’t have as much money coming in from sources such as research grants and tuition, according to the AP. At the same time, some colleges and universities in neighboring states are reporting that applications from Illinois students have increased at their schools.

There’s little doubt that many of the wounds of higher education are self-inflicted. Constantly increasing tuition to cover wasteful spending has caught up to the people in charge. Schools have overbuilt, overcharged, overpaid. Students have reached their breaking point.

In Illinois, the problem’s been exacerbated by state government’s dysfunction.

Nearing its 11th month without a state budget, Illinois lawmakers earlier this month approved emergency funding for higher education – at just about 38 percent of last year’s budgeted amount – just so some colleges could keep their doors open into the summer. And with fiscal 2017 approaching, it’s looking less likely that a new budget will be in place anytime soon.

Most schools already have cut significantly into staff, and funding for MAP grants for lower-income families has been slashed.

While the AP’s review is far from complete, the findings make sense. Why would high school juniors and seniors consider attending at-risk colleges and universities when other, better and safer options are amply available?

Students who leave the state for college also are more likely to find jobs elsewhere than students who stay in state for college. That brain drain is something Illinois certainly can’t afford.

It’s a dangerous cycle that could further lead to more job losses, fewer tax dollars collected, less money to pay for, well, everything.

Gov. Bruce Rauner and the General Assembly need to approve a balanced budget.

Illinois’ future is at stake.

A doggone long line – and it’s at the airport “Oh, my God!” “Oh, my God!” “Oh, my God!” No, we’re not in church. My wife, Tia, and I are standing in a line as long as a Wal-Mart Black Friday pre-dawn opening, waiting to be frisked by TSA (Terribly Slow Agency) personnel at Midway Airport. Our plane departs at 10:40 a.m., and though three hours away, we might not make it.

Fifteen minutes earlier, we walked blissfully through these same tunnels we now stand in until running into travelers backed up the ramp that feeds the main lobby.

“Sure hope we get preapproved check-in like we did last month.”

“We checked our bags, though,” Tia reminded me. “Let’s try that.”

We did. But after getting boarding passes, a blue-uniformed agent pointed up the ramp – where the line now disappeared through double doors. We

“This is insane,” I said, sure we’d miss our flight.

Approaching, then turning the corner, I stared down the hallway long as a football field and gasped, “Oh, my God.” What I saw couldn’t be true. The line stretched halfway down the corridor, nightmarishly long. Finally finding the end of the line, we texted our daughter the bad news.

It’s now 7:45. We shuffle an inch forward. I take out student research papers to grade. Tia opens her book on

To the editor: To Geneva residents, we would like to thank and acknowledge the city of Geneva staff on their expert trimming of our parkway trees recently.

Kudos to all of them!

They used great care when concerning any danger and safety, were especially friendly, spoke openly to us regarding the best kind of trimming, and were continually careful to avoid new flowers planted, even relocating the truck around to accommodate them. And – after disposing of large limbs – then raked the entire areas, [picked up small debris by hand], blew any miscellaneous leaves and sticks out of the grass, even blew our driveway and the street.

What a job! All with many smiles. Thank you again – it was most appreciated.

And here’s the amazing part: Every person streaming forward searching for the end of the line, when taking the turn and seeing it extending farther than the eye can see, changes expression from despondent to horrified. Their face falls as if finding out their $10-off coupon for a lodge at The Dells expired the day before, and they then say in a voice barely above a whisper, “Oh, my God.” “Oh, my God.” “Oh, my God.” Fifteen minutes later, a monstrous Chicago cop stands beside us.

with a state budget and can’t stop spending other people’s money like it was water. The latest thing is they were talking about taxing retirees’ ... retirement income. I can tell you that with all of the cities around Illinois trying to attract retirees ... by, you know, putting in senior housing and so on, that if they start taxing retirement income, you’re going to see a bust in the retirement market like you’ve never seen in our life before. Because people can’t afford to live in Illinois when they’re working and paying taxes, so, you know, retirees are barely making it.

We still have to pay premiums on insurance, and every time we turn around, our Social Security is being dipped, dug into for another reason or another. The Medicare premiums go up, which reduces our Social Security income. ... We have to have another supplemental health insurance plan, which is anywhere from $1,000 to $1,500 a month, depending on where the coverage is, and what kind of coverage it is, and what your health is. So, you know, if Illinois wants to [mess up] their state even more, just go ahead and tax retirees’ income that we don’t have to pay our rent as it is and see where you go. Flight from Illinois will be astronomical.

neighbors@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – Brownie Girl Scout Troop 830 is helping establish two “Buddy Benches” at Davis Primary School in St. Charles.

The second-grade troop sold cookies at booths, competed and won third place in a cookie music video competition, and won 23rd place nationwide in the “Bling your Booth” competition to help raise money for the benches, stated a news release.

“The school was so supportive of their efforts that the benches were purchased by the school and given to the troop to paint and decorate,” stated the release. “The girls will be spreading the word and the rules for the benches at school, and the following second-grade troops will do the same and maintain the benches each year.”

The idea started when a mom said she had heard about Buddy Benches and thought it might help kids, like her own daughter, who sometimes have trouble asking other kids if they can play with

BY TERRY AND KIM KOVEL Collectors like toys with colorful, detailed, often amusing or realistic decorations. Bliss doll houses, wooden houses covered with a colored paper lithograph that includes doors, windows, bricks and even hedges, are among the best of the Victorian toys. The company started in 1831 in Pawtucket, R.I. making wooden screws. Toys were made from about 1871 to 1914 but the name Bliss was kept in use until 1935. Bliss made many wooden toys with lithographed exteriors like trains, ships, houses, blocks, games and even an ark with animals.

Other companies were also making similar toys. Theriault’s Auctions sold a pair of 13-inch-high wooden chairs for dolls with a lithograph that pictured a man reading a book on one, a woman in a shawl on the other. Made about 1885, they are by an unknown maker. The pair sold in a Theriault’s doll auction in Newport Beach, California for $952. *** Q: How long has Royal Doulton been making Bunnykin figurines? I have about 43 of the small figures but need more information to find the best ones. Aren’t some being reissued by the company?

A: Bunnykins were first made in 1939

by Royal Doulton. The British firm started making dishes and figurines in 1853 using the name Doulton. They changed their name to Royal Doulton in 1902, and although the company is now part of WWRD Holdings, the Royal Doulton backstamp is still in use. In 1939, they made six earthenware Bunnykin figures. Production stopped during World War II, then started again in 1972. They have made over 500.

In 2004, the production of Bunnykins was moved overseas to Thailand and then to China. Once a Bunnykin figure was discontinued, Royal Doulton never reissued it. Each figure has a name and number on the bottom that can be identified online

The average small figures, about 2 to 5 inches high, sell for about $15 to $30; rare ones have sold for hundreds of dollars; limited editions for thousands. *** Q: I have an old Apple IIe computer that was used for only six months. I also have the monitor and the original boxes. Is this unit worth anything?

A: The original Apple I computer is considered one of the most valuable and collectible computers in the world. Only 575 units were ever sold and fewer than 100 are known to still exist, making it the rarest of Apple computers. A few sold at auctions in 2013 and 2014 for hundreds of thousands of dollars. But not every vintage Apple computer is a jackpot. The Apple II, sold from 1977 to 1993, was one of the first successful personal computer systems.

Millions were sold for use in homes, schools and businesses. It was made in a number of models, with improvements to each model. The Apple II Plus was introduced in 1979 and the Apple IIe in 1983. A complete Apple IIe system sells today from $100 to $400 depending on the condition. *** Q: Is there a market for Jim Beam Ducks Unlimited decanters? I have several that are unopened.

A: Jacob Beam began selling bourbon in bottles labeled “Beam” in Kentucky in 1795. Several generations of the family continued the business. The James B. Beam Distilling Co. was incorporated in 1934. The company is now part of Beam Suntory. The first decanters were made to sell in time for Christmas in 1953.

Ducks Unlimited, a wetlands conservation organization, commissioned a series of decanters that was made from 1974 to 1995. Twenty-one Ducks Unlimited

Kane County Flea Market

The maker of these wooden doll-sized chairs is unknown, but they were made with a Victorian-style lithographed design. They sold for $952 at a Theriault’s Auction in January 2016. decanters were made, with part of the proceeds going to the conservation organization. Interest in liquor decanters has waned and prices have dropped. Full bottles are not worth more to a collector than unfilled. You can find many Ducks Unlimited decanters selling online for as low as $5 to $10. Some states or cities have laws that restrict the sale of filled liquor bottles to registered liquor stores. *** Q: I have a fireman’s home alarm that belonged to my uncle, who was a lieutenant in the Lewiston, Maine, fire department in the late 1930s to ‘50s. When the alarm rang in the station, it also rang in his home so he knew he had to go to the station. It has a metal tag on the front that says “The Gamewell Fire Alarm & Telegraph Co.” and patent dates of Jan. 6, 1880, and June 7, 1881. What can you tell me about it?

A: The Fire Alarm Telegraph was first used in the U.S. in 1852. Telegraph wires connected fire alarms or signal boxes in various part of the city to the fire station, setting off an alarm or gong at the station.

Indicators showed where the alarm site was. Your uncle’s home alarm used a similar connection to summon him to the fire station. John Nelson Gamewell (18221896) began producing fire alarms in 1859, after buying the patents and rights to install them in several states. His company also

made house gongs. The company name became Gamewell Fire Alarm & Telegraph Co. in 1879. A complete house alarm with a gong sold for about $1,500 recently. *** Tip: Don’t put china with gold designs in the dishwasher.

RELEASE DATE: 5/29/2016

Robert R. Coveyou was a research mathematician who is best known for his article published in 1970 entitled: The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance.

Computer-dealt bridge deals are generated using a random number generator from 1 to 52. In theory, it is pure chance who gets which card, but it is possible to doctor the program to eliminate, say, all 4-3-3-3 hands.

In bridge deals, numbers rule, especially tricks taken. In tandem with that, the defenders should bear in mind the number of tricks they need to defeat the contract.

How should East let that number guide his play in today’s deal? South is in four spades, and West leads the heart queen.

Partner opens one no-trump.

You have game values with one or two four-card majors. Should you use Stayman to try to find a 4-4 major-suit fit? Certainly when you have a singleton or void. When you are 4-3-3-3, though, go with three no-trump. With 4-4-3-2, my basic rule is to use Stayman when we have only the minimum values for game, and my hand has a weak doubleton.

East sees three defensive tricks: the spade king and two top hearts.

Since from the point count West can have no other winners, the fourth trick will have to be a club ruff. But East shouldn’t drop the heart two at trick one, hoping partner will get the message. Instead, he should take control; he overtakes the heart queen with his king and returns his singleton club. Then, when East gets in with his spade king, he leads a low heart, putting West on play to deliver the contract-killing club ruff.

2 BOYS STATE TRACK AND FIELD

Taormina among two Vikings medalists KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE

CHARLESTON – Geneva senior boys track athlete Justin Taormina qualified for four event preliminaries at his final Class 3A state meet.

When he advanced to the finals for only one event, the 100 meters, he was poised to make the most of it.

Taormina was eighth in 10.86 seconds, closing his prep career at Eastern Illinois’ O’Brien Stadium with a smile May 28.

“It was a fun race and a great way to go out senior year,” said Taormina, a football standout who also is an accomplished gymnast. “Definitely wasn’t expecting to qualify in the 100 coming in, to be honest.

“Freshman year, my goal was to be all-state as a senior in at least one of my events, and I accomplished that, so I’m not upset at all.”

Geneva junior Tyler Dau took sixth in the 1,600 in 4:19.85.

St. Charles East’s 4x800 relay of seniors Brett Izzo, Jack Rzepecki and Evan Patel and junior JB Sandlund was eighth in 7:57.38.

In Class 2A, Kaneland senior Tanner Robertsen ultimately felt fulfillment, too, as he approached the podium.

“It’s a great way to go out,” he said.

“I’m just happy I got something before my high school track career was over.”

Robertsen was speaking of his latest prized possession, a fifth-place medal in the 300-meter hurdles. Eclipsing his preliminary mark by 0.35 seconds, Robertsen crossed the finish line in 39.41 seconds.

“I could have run better,” Robertsen said. “I stuttered on a couple of hurdles – it’s been my Achilles’ heel all year – but I wasn’t supposed to come to state and place. So to get fifth, it means a lot to me and means a lot to my coaches.”

The Knights’ 4x800 relay team of sophomore Matt Richtman and seniors Sean Spaetzel, Will Kuipers and Austin Kintz took ninth in 8:13.55.

Burlington Central senior Nick Harvey was second in the 800 with a time of 1:55.52, 0.14 seconds off the pace of state champion Sean Zerrusen of Effingham.

“My goal was to lead the race after the first (400 meters), and I did that,” Harvey said. “When he passed me, bad thoughts [were] coming through, so I kicked 300 meters and I caught him, and I didn’t think he’d be coming back. I wanted him, but I just had the burning in my legs.”

Marmion sophomore Seth Groom placed third in the triple jump with an effort of 46 feet, 8 1/4 inches.

Shaw Media’s Joe Stevenson and Jesse Severson contributed.

GIRLS SOCCER

Know more

editorial@kcchronicle.com

For the result of the May 31 New Trier supersectional game between St. Charles North and New Trier, and more postseason coverage, visit kcchronicle. com/preps.

Another girls soccer season and another deep postseason run for St. Charles North.

The program’s first 15 seasons saw Ruth Vostal at the helm, but under first-year head coach Brian Harks, the North Stars haven’t changed expectations, goals or what’s led them to success.

“If we play St. Charles North soccer, it’s going to be a good outcome,” sophomore forward Gia Wahlberg said after the team’s 2-1 win over Geneva in the Class 3A Bartlett sectional championship May 27. “It’s something we have been doing all year, playing our game and worrying about what we can control rather than worrying about who we’re playing.”

One thing North can control is taking advantage of scoring opportunities and putting balls in the back of the net.

It’s something that seemed to keep the sectional championship game close until the final seconds and fortunately didn’t cost the North Stars.

Wahlberg was at the center of a couple of those chances. Her header at point-blank range off a corner kick with 25 minutes to go and North leading 1-0 bounced right over the top of the goal.

“When you have a one-goal lead, like we were fortunate enough to get against Geneva early [in the seventh minute], you have to keep your composure,” Gia’s sister, Elli Wahlberg, said. “Teams like New Trier and Geneva are very good teams and can make you pay in a split second for not taking advantage of opportunities like we had.”

Elli Wahlberg knew the May 31 New Trier supersectional against the host Trevians, the two-time defending Class 3A state champion, loomed as one of the toughest games in her four years at North.

Still, the team under Harks has kept the mindset of making sure it worries about itself before anything else. That approach has led to a 20-win season and an Upstate Eight Conference River Division title.

Harks is in agreement that some of the chances his team was unable to capitalize on would not only take the pressure off in the game that could send the North Stars to the state tournament but won’t be as frequent as they were against Geneva.

“The harder the games get, the fewer opportunities you’re going to have,” Harks said. “That makes the importance of each one go up. I think whether or not the ball ends up in the back of the net, it’s so important to have a short memory. You have to get back and worry about the next play. I think the girls have done an excellent job at responding after something may not go our way and have to continue to do so.”

“I think it’s something that we’ve definitely gotten better at as the season has gone on,” said sophomore Hailey Rydberg, the team’s goal scorer against Geneva. “It’s obviously important to try and never be content with any lead you have, especially in the postseason. I know New Trier is a great team and will push even harder, so we just have to stay composed, and when we get opportunities to score make sure the ball ends up in the back of the net.”

Harks probably will take the defensive effort he got May 27, but each game brings about new obstacles and he feels comfortable with how his team adapts in those situations on the fly.

Lauren Neslund and Lauren Willis on the back line, along with Claire Barresi and goalkeeper Sami Sample, have been the rock. It’s where all the success begins for the North Stars.

“Communication has been the key, not just on the back line but with the entire team,” Willis said. “I think that definitely needs to continue to get even better and we’ll keep having success. This next game will kind of be the same in the fact that we beat them earlier in the season [1-0 on April 16], but we have to forget that and come ready to play.”

4 BOYS STATE TENNIS

Tournament competitors reflect on final matches

By KEVIN BEESE editorial@kcchronicle.com A third-set tiebreaker did in the last remaining Kane County Chronicle-area boys tennis players at the state tournament May 27.

The St. Charles North doubles team of Matt Ernst and Matt Kramer had rallied to take the second set in their fourth-round consolation match against Lyons Township’s Demetri Triantafel and Matt Dickett to force the tiebreaker.

Kramer said third-set tiebreakers were one of the weaknesses for him and his partner all year.

“I really don’t know what the problem is. I really don’t,” Kramer said. “We give the other team a big lead and then spend the rest of the tiebreaker fighting back.”

The North Stars duo lost 6-3, 2-6, (10-7) to end their high school tennis careers.

Making it to the second day of competition at state was the goal for Kramer and Ernst as well as the entire North Stars’ squad during the season.

North Stars coach Sean Masoncup was happy with both doubles teams’ performances.

The doubles team of Luke Dunteman and Trevor Kurtzhals also qualified but was eliminated in third-round consolation play.

“They played great,” Masoncup said of both doubles teams. “Ernst and Kramer bowed out in their last match.

They ended their careers on a high note. They were the last team from the area standing.”

Kramer, who hopes to play club tennis at Wisconsin, said he was satisfied with how his season ended.

“I am really proud and happy I made my goal,” Kramer said. “We could not have ended on a better note.”

Ernst and Kramer rolled through their first two matches, losing just two games in beating teams from Triad High School in Troy and Homewood-Flossmoor. They fell to Benet’s Patrick McGuigan and Jack Carroll 6-1, 6-1, setting up their win-or-go-home match against Lyons Township.

St. Charles East doubles player Kevin Schreiner teams with Charlie Downing (not pictured) at the boys state tennis tournament.

Dunteman and Kurtzhals started out shaky, falling to Downers Grove South 6-1, 6-1, but bounced back to top Ottawa 6-2, 6-3. They lost their match in the second round of the consolation bracket to Hoffman Estates 7-6 (4), 6-1.

Masoncup noted St. Charles North ran its string of consecutive second-day state tournament appearances to eight.

Competition in the three-day event began May 26.

“To be among the elite in the state, and for eight straight years to play on Friday, I am really proud of their effort,” Masoncup said.

All four state qualifiers will graduate, so the North Stars will be looking to pass the torch.

“We are only returning five players,” Masoncup said, “but they are great players. We will put something together.”

St. Charles East already has something put together for next year with three of its four state qualifiers returning from a sectional championship team.

“For their first outings, I am proud of how far they got and how they played,” Saints coach Rob Livermore said of

Marmion’s John King advances to the third round of the consolation bracket at the boys state tennis tournament. his underclassmen.

Having three state qualifiers also was a step forward for the program, Livermore said, noting in the past the most Saints state qualifiers totaled two.

The East doubles team of Charlie Downing and Kevin Schreiner went the farthest for the Saints in the state tourney, making the third round of the

consolation bracket.

Downing and Schreiner lost their first match to Metamora in three sets before topping Bradley-Bourbonnais and Rockford Boylan in the first two rounds of the consolation bracket. They then fell to Waubonsie Valley 6-0, 1-6, (10-5).

Downing said it would have been nice to play a full third set rather than just the tiebreaker

against Waubonsie Valley.

“It hurt to lose twice in the third set,” Downing said. “It would have meant a lot to have a third set [in the last match].”

The lone Saints senior at state, Alex Winters, fell in his first-round match to Jack Bernstein of Lyons Township 6-0, 6-0. Winters bounced back to top Shiv Pun of Moline 6-3, 6-0 but fell in his second-round consolation match to Hayden Dzurisin of Prairie Ridge 6-2, 6-4.

“There was a lot of emotion, a lot of ups and downs for me [in that third match],” Winters said. “I remember service points where I gained momentum, but at one point I allowed him to send one more ball back when I should have put it away. He was able to get the momentum.”

Winters, who hopes to play club tennis at Illinois, said he was happy with his performance.

“My goal was to win at least one match,” Winters said, “and I did. ... At the end of the day, I went down fighting. I am not sad.”

East’s other state qualifier, Peter Clancy, lost his first two matches in the tournament, falling to New Trier’s Scott Bickel 6-0, 6-1 and to Romeoville’s Miguel Rayos del Sol 6-2, 6-3.

“For Peter, it was a learning experience,” Livermore said. “He was a No. 2 player up against a lot of 1s. He had no experience with that. He worked his tail off to win a game [in his first match]. It was a small victory.”

Batavia’s doubles team of Andrew Nelson and Emerson Hinzy made it to the second round of the consolation bracket before falling to Waubonsie Valley 6-1, 6-7 (4), (10-7).

Batavia’s doubles team of Patrick Hanrahan and Nick Robinson lost both their matches in three-set affairs, the second in a tiebreaker against Lincoln-Way East 5-7, 6-3, (10-4).

John King of Marmion made to the third round of the consolation bracket before falling to Chase Bremner of Wheaton North 6-2, 5-7, (10-3).

KANE COUNTY COUGARS

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com

“He’s still hitting the ball,” Cougars manager Mike Benjamin said.

“He’s an intelligent baserunner. So it just made sense to move him up there.”

Arizona selected Morozowski in the 13th round of the 2015 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft out of NCAA Division II Mount Olive (North Carolina). He batted .424 with 21 home runs and 82 RBIs in 55 games as a junior in his lone season at Mount Olive after transferring from Florida International.

A native of Pembroke Pines, Fla. – about a 35-minute drive north of Miami – the 6-foot-1, 179-pound Morozowski was predominantly a middle infielder during high school, but FIU called on him as a right-handed pitcher. He had only 11 at-bats in two seasons there, but his pitching development wasn’t sticking.

“It was all right,” Morozowski said.

“I could throw a nice fastball, but I really didn’t have much else to go with it. So I’m just happy to be hitting again.”

Morozowski already has stepped in a major league batter’s box, having participated in a predraft workout at Marlins Park last year as his family giddily looked on.

A fellow 1990s National League expansion team drafted Morozowski, however, and the D’backs knew they had acquired a versatile, cooperative player.

“I mean, if you look at it,” Benjamin said, “it’s just a place in the order. … He leads off once in a game, for the most part. If it works out that he leads off [three] times, at this point, they’ve got a perfect game going. It’s just a spot in the order, and you just stay with what you’ve been doing.”

It’s possible to get colorful without also getting heated I simply told the shortstop that I liked his team’s new uniform.

A couple of minutes later, I was telling him about something hilariously bad that happened in the major leagues when he was a baby.

There are occasional moments during breaks in the action of a high school baseball game that you find yourself enjoying a brief chat with a player. Such was the case recently for me when the subject of uniforms came up.

In fact, the kid went on to say he likes when the umpires wear black as opposed to navy blue because “it looks more professional.”

He told me his team has a few different uniforms but he liked the one he was wearing the best.

I told him we’ve come a long way with jerseys, explaining that when I was growing up the Cubs wore pinstriped powder blue road jerseys and the Sox wore V-neck pullovers and even shorts one time. He laughed and that’s when I told him about something that he didn’t believe – Turn Ahead the Clock.

It was a promotion in Major League Baseball that started in 1998 and was further developed the following season with teams wearing promotional uniforms that were designed so awfully with the future in mind.

There were about a dozen or so games played in 1999 with teams donning the so-called futuristic jerseys that were colossal monstrosities. The

QUILL THE UMPIRE Chris Rollin Walker jerseys were supposed to represent what baseball uniforms would look like in 2021. It was set up that way because Century 21 sponsored the event. Now that we’re just five years away from 2021, I think it’s safe to say you won’t be seeing those uniforms anytime soon, or ever.

The Pirates looked like they were wearing something Brad Hamilton would have to wear in the future if he would’ve kept his job at Captain Hook Fish & Chips. The Brewers featured Beer Barrel Man so they looked like they were wearing kids pajamas. The New York Mets became the Mercury Mets. Reliever Jason Isringhausen’s name didn’t fit on the new uniform, so he went by his nickname, “Izzy.”

Seriously, what was MLB thinking?

I told the kid to search “Turn Ahead the Clock” when he got home so he could see for himself some of the gaudy uniforms as well as the other gimmicks that accompanied the promotion, including how shortstop was called “intermediate station” in the future. What does that mean?

He laughed. “I’ll definitely check that tonight,” he said. “But what about the umpires? Did they wear anything different?”

They did. Umps definitely weren’t

immune to the ridiculousness of the promotion. They were forced to wear silver metallic shirts that made them look like they were extras from “Saturday Night Fever” or employees of Spacely Space Sprockets on “The Jetsons.” I have to wonder what Charlie Kerfeld thought of this gimmick.

Speaking of umpires, you won’t see them wearing anything but navy for the rest of the season. That’s what the IHSA requires. You also won’t see umpires wearing caps representing their associations, either, as everything is simply IHSA now.

There may be certain things that I disagree with the IHSA about, but this isn’t one of them.

The state series is a completely different ballgame with teams either winning or turning in those same uniforms I was talking about earlier.

Having the umpires all wearing the same navy uniforms while also highlighting the IHSA on their caps just seems right to me.

For a lot of umpires, I bet those navy uniforms are in good shape, too.

From my experience, most guys prefer to wear black rather than navy. Some like to get a little more colorful and adventurous during the spring and wear polo blue or cream, and I even had one partner that wanted to wear red.

I warned him that red is the color of fire and blood, and that people associate it with war and danger and that it raises blood pressure. I asked him, “Do we really want to fire up these

teams, even with these two coaches who never seem to cause a problem?”

He quickly changed his mind.

I probably wore black more than any other color this spring. Most of the guys that I worked with seemed to prefer it. I even asked some of them about it. One of my fellow umpires said he first wondered why everyone was wearing black, but once he got a black uniform, he found himself wearing it all the time. “It makes us look sharper somehow,” he said.

Another umpire agreed that it’s a cleaner look and its quite slimming, too.

I agree with the slimming part, and I could use all the help I can get.

I didn’t get a chance to ask any coaches what their thoughts were on the subject. They have so many other things to worry about that I don’t think they really care about an umpire’s shirt color. If you call a good, consistent strike zone and get all the other calls right, why would they care what you’re wearing? If you don’t, then their patience is going to wear thin, their faces are going to turn red with rage and they’re going to give you the blues.

And that’s no way to enjoy baseball.

Not now and not in 2021.

Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com • Thursday, June 2, 2016

GENEVA – Jason Morozowski’s 10-letter surname often distinguishes itself on the whiteboard lineup on the Fifth Third Bank Ballpark concourse.

Lately, “Morozowski” has been the first Cougars name fans read as he assumes the leadoff spot in the batting order. At the beginning of the season, it was listed third. A few weeks later, the name plunged lower before ultimately rising again.

Morozowski hit anywhere from first through fifth with Short-A Missoula (Montana) last season after the parent Arizona Diamondbacks drafted him, so he’s accustomed to managers shuffling their lineup cards. When it fazes him, he’ll let you know.

“Just trying to do my thing every night,” Morozowski said. “I just like

to be aggressive, you know, just try to hit the ball early, hit the ball hard and just be a spark plug.”

“Spark plug” has one fewer letter than “Morozowski” for what it’s worth, and Morozowski used it multiple times when discussing his trips up and down the lineup through the first month-plus of the Midwest League season.

He referred to fellow outfielders Matt McPhearson and Zach Nehrir as “spark plugs” before mentioning how the onetime stewards of the leadoff spot recently were forced to withdraw from the role because of injury.

The Cougars placed McPhearson on the disabled list on May 2. Nehrir was injured during the Cougars’ recent sixgame Iowa road trip to Cedar Rapids and Burlington. Enter Morozowski, who batted .143 in April but was hitting .267 in 28 May games entering May 31.

Leadoff ‘just a spot in order’ for versatile Morozowski

Kuipers progresses all the way to D-III nationals It was worth it for Dylan Kuipers to get a second opinion.

An alumnus of the vaunted Kaneland pole vault program, Kuipers rolled through an all-state senior season with the Knights. He won every regular-season meet and finished fourth at the 2014 IHSA Class 2A state finals.

But the opportunity to vault collegiately for another renowned program, North Central in Naperville, almost never came to fruition. A back injury forced him to miss his entire freshman season at the NCAA Division III school.

Eventually, he was cleared for competition, only for an injury to strike again. Kuipers missed the entire indoor track and field season with a hamstring injury. While fate seemed to be working against Kuipers, he committed to rehab, stayed in the weight room and stuck with a tested philosophy he learned at Kaneland: trust the process.

A process that has sent a Knights vaulter to state for 34 straight seasons. A process that has produced collegiate All-Americans. And a process that qualified Kuipers for a spot in the 20-man field at the 2016 D-III nationals after a vault of 16 feet, 7 1/4 inches at the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin meet May 6 at Augustana in Rock Island.

“It all paid off,” said Kuipers, who had the sixth-best qualifying vault at nationals, which kicked off May 26 at Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa.

“Last year with the back injury, I got some medical opinions that said I wouldn’t vault again. This year I had a nagging hamstring injury. But I pushed through it and it finally all came together.”

Nationals felt more like a reunion for Kuipers. The sophomore from Elburn was one of 12 qualifiers from the Cardinals’ program, which has been ranked No. 1 the last four weeks in the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association rankings.

Kuipers was one of three North Central vaulters, joining teammates Luke Winder and Spencer LaHave.

Winder entered with the top qualifying vault of 18-1 and won the national title by clearing 17-4 1/2. Kuipers was 17th with an effort of 15-3.

Adding to the feelings of familiarity was Dan Evers, a sophomore at Monmouth and another Kaneland grad.

The rewards might be greater, but Kuipers’ commitment and focus remain the same.

“Most of the field has competed against each other all year,” Kuipers said. “With Danny Evers there and ... my North Central teammates, I want to view it as just another meet. The atmo-

North Central College sophomore pole vaulter Dylan Kuipers, a Kaneland product, competes last weekend at NCAA Division III nationals.

ON CAMPUS James Nokes sphere might be more tense, but I am going to go out and trust the process.

“Vaulting is process-oriented. It’s not outcome-oriented. I never look at the height. At a meet, there’s a progression. So we know how high the bar is going to be. I just start out my approach and follow my progression. I can’t focus on the bar or I will miss the technical things I need to do. It’s all a process, and it’s been drilled into us.”

When Kaneland pole vault coach Andy Drendel was doing the drilling, he noticed a change in Kuipers’ approach during his junior season.

Regardless of the conditions, Drendel said he always knew what he was

going to get out of Kuipers. Whether it was rain, snow or a 30 mph crosswind or tailwind, Kuipers was always ready to vault.

“Dylan is a driven young man with a fiery personality that he learned to channel and turn it into focus during his junior and senior seasons of high school,” Drendel said. “He was just awesome his senior year. He won every meet up until the state tournament as he trusted the process. He focused on doing all the little things right, and the heights and places at meets just took care of themselves.”

Even though two alums of the Kaneland vault program were vying for a national title, Drendel wasn’t there to watch Evers and Kuipers square off. Kaneland won the IHSA Class 2A Galena sectional, and Drendel had to prep senior Mike Rinella and junior Danny Walker. They

competed last weekend on the blue track at Eastern Illinois at the IHSA state meet.

“There’s a lot of pride and tradition in Kaneland pole vaulting and a sense that athletes are bound to pay it forward to new teammates,” Drendel said. “Dylan told me there’s no way I could go watch him in nationals because I had to get my current guys ready for state.”

Using the pay-it-forward philosophy he learned at Kaneland, Kuipers will look to infuse the rest of the Cardinals’ lineup with an instant jolt at nationals.

“Pole vault is the first event, and we like to infuse the rest of the team with energy,” Kuipers said. “It’s my first time at nationals. I want to go out and have fun. I didn’t expect to even be here after being sidelined last year with injury.”

Gardening without Roundup? their fields. A lot of this pesticide is used, and the ill effects ascribed to it include cancer and birth defects in people and infertility in cattle, as well as the development of glyphosate-resistant super weeds.

It turns up in human breast milk. It is suspected as the cause of gluten intolerance, because of its use as a desiccant for earlier grain harvests.

And it’s not approved for certified organic produce.

How bad is it? I’m not a scientist, and I don’t know. But here’s the funny thing: Whether the Environmental Protection Agency, in its current deliberations about glyphosate, gives it a grade of Pass, Fail or Incomplete, it will not, in any way, influence the way I garden.

That’s because my abstinence from Roundup has taught me that I don’t need it.

Dealing with simple annual weeds is easy. If they’re small, you can disturb them with a skimming hoe on a dry day, and they’ll shrivel. Let them go, and you must pull them, dig them

By BARBARA DAMROSCH Special to The Washington Post It’s the moment of truth. In the 1980s I was a casual user of Roundup, a popular herbicide that I applied mostly to poison ivy. By spraying or painting the foliage, I could kill the whole plant, roots and all.

In those days, Roundup, though toxic, was considered safe if handled carefully. In the 1990s, when an 80-foot-long bank of poison ivy appeared next to my mailbox, I considered Roundup, but by then more concerns had been voiced about its harm to frogs and fish. To be on the safe side, I decided not to spray the poinson ivy with Roundup. I subscribe to something called the precautionary principle, which means I prefer to avoid using a substance if I am not reasonably sure that it is poses no hazards.

At present, the active chemical in Roundup, glyphosate, is more hotly debated, thanks to the creation of “Roundup-ready” crops, which are engineered to survive glyphosate applications so farmers can weed

6 mistakes you make when washing clothes

By JURA KONCIUS The Washington Post Everything we know about doing laundry we learned in childhood.

“Most people will cook the way their mothers cooked. We learn laundry basics the same way - from our parents,” said Jenifir Provateare, who has been developing products for the laundry industry for 20 years.

But it might be time to dump some of mom or dad’s outdated laundry habits. “Technology has come a long way since our mothers started doing laundry,” said Provateare, a product development manager at Nehemiah Manufacturing, a Cincinnati-based consumer goods company.

That means most of us need to upgrade our laundry smarts to keep our black T-shirts from fading and our soccer uniforms free of grass stains.

We have to read the fine print of our washing machine manuals and finally learn how to sort.

There is constant innovation in laundry products. But some new products don’t measure up, Provateare said. She is not a fan of pricey single-dose laundry detergent packs because they don’t let you control

the amount of detergent. For a larger load when one pack isn’t enough, you have no choice but to add two. When you use too much detergent, the rinse cycle may not get it all out, leaving a sticky residue on fabrics.

We asked Provateare to identify six common mistakes consumers make when operating washing machines.

How many are you guilty of?

• Never mastering the art of sorting: Many people just sort by color, especially if they plan to wash everything in cold water. Uh-uh. Sort clothes by wash temperature as indicated on the care label.

Make cold, warm and hot piles (very few things should be washed in hot; it’s brutal on fabrics). Then sort those piles by color before washing. You may end up with a bunch of small loads, but clothes will look better and last longer.

• Being skimpy with detergent: Detergents are quite concentrated and can be expensive, whether you have a standard or high-efficiency machine.

The majority of people use liquids and many believe they can get away with less than the suggested amount.

Not true. If you are stingy, the dirt on clothes just redistributes itself in the wash instead of going out with the rinse. The dirt ends up on the rest of

gencies: Waiting until the last minute to

Watch video online See why we are using too much laundry detergent at http://shawurl. com/2mh0. your clothes, making them dingy. Confirm you are buying the type of detergent your washer is designed to handle for optimal use. Study the detergent box, bottle or cap to make sure you are adding the recommended amount.

• Stuck on cold: Consumers often select cold water since it’s a less risky choice: It won’t shrink your skinny jeans or cause your striped shirt to bleed. But cold water is not always best and may not be getting clothes clean or odors out. Read the care label instructions; they may say to use warm. A good rule is to use the warmest temperature your garment can handle, because, in general, you are going to get clothes cleaner in warmer water.

• The bleach effect: Do you use bleach on white socks and underwear that contain elastic? Cease and desist.

Bleach actually eats elastic. Switch to a detergent with pre-added bleach alternative or whitener.

• Not treating stains as fashion emer-

deal with stains has consequences. Once a smudge or spot goes through a warm water wash and heated dry, it probably won’t ever come out. Carry a stain pen in your car, tote or diaper bag. If you spill ketchup on your shirt, immediately put a cloth or paper towel behind the stain and rub with your pen. Most of the stain will disappear. When you get home, spritz with stain remover spray and wash right away in the warmest water the clothing can tolerate. The one major exception: blood stains, which you should wash only in cold water.

• Being too lazy to wash new clothes or linens before use: If you get a new polo shirt or sheet set, you should wash it by itself before wearing or using it. (Provateare said she does; I have to admit, my mother never washed anything before using it. I survived and I boldly continue that dangerous practice.) Washing first should remove any residual chemicals left over from the manufacturing process.

If you fail to do this, chemicals could come in contact with your skin and cause irritation or contact dermatitis. Provateare advised tossing new items into your washer set on cold. This also helps set colors so they won’t bleed when you wash items later with other laundry.

By ELIZABETH CHANG The Washington Post The labyrinth is an ancient idea made new. The spiral design has been around since before recorded history, though no one is sure where the pattern originated or why. In Neolithic times, labyrinths were scratched into rocks. In Cretan tradition, a labyrinth imprisoned the mythical Minotaur. For medieval Christians, walking a labyrinth at a cathedral such as the one in Chartres, France, substituted for a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Over the past few decades, labyrinths have been repurposed to aid in meditation, healing and inspiration, and have been established at churches, schools, parks, museums and hospitals. They’ve also been making their way into private yards for homeowners seeking a spiritual retreat, a striking landscape element or both.

Lauren Artress is founder of Veriditas, which describes itself as an organization “inspiring transformation through the labyrinth experience.� The long-term canon pastor at Grace Cathe-

dral in San Francisco, Artress turned to labyrinths during the AIDS epidemic. “Intuitively, some part of me knew we needed some kind of pastoral tools,� she said. The looping pathways provided a spiritual outlet for the grieving and the frightened; people could walk together or alone, they could pray aloud or in silence, they could seek calm religiously, spiritually or meditatively. “The beauty of a labyrinth is that it can do so many things, like a string bass that can fit into a jazz band, a string quartet and then a symphony,� she said.

As Artress began introducing other communities to the concept, labyrinths began springing up across the country, perhaps because Americans were becoming more open to alternative kinds of spirituality, perhaps because walking meditation is easier for our restless society to adopt than sitting meditation. The online World-Wide Labyrinth Locator put together by the Labyrinth Society lists more than 5,000 labyrinths.

Storage units can be a great solution for people who are moving and need a spot to perch their stuff during the transition. Likewise, if their home is damaged in a storm or they’re doing a major renovation, a storage unit provides an easy, short-term solution. But when people simply don’t want to, or can’t, curate their possessions and instead opt to put them in storage indefinitely, both the storage space and its contents become a serious and long-term burden.

Before you make the decision to rent a storage space, here are a few things to consider. • Do your research: Take time to check out a few facilities before deciding which one to use. Find a few options online and then visit them.

Ask questions about temperature control, when you’ll be able to access your unit and, perhaps most important, how they will keep your belongings secure. For instance, do they have 24-hour video monitoring of the

entire facility? What type of lock is required, or available, for the units?

Also consider the overall cleanliness of the facility and whether the level of customer service suits your needs. • Set a deadline: Give yourself a realistic deadline for renting the space. Most people end up leaving their things in storage much longer than they thought they would. It’s easy to postpone clearing out the space when you don’t have to look at the contents every day. • Think small: Try to accurately measure the items you want to store and choose the smallest available unit. Not only will this save you money, but it also will curb the temptation to continually add more to the space. Also think about how you can most efficiently store the items. • Consider access: It’s important to think about how often you’ll need to visit the unit – either to put things in or to remove items. Be sure to ask when customers can access the units and whether it is accessible on holidays.

• STORAGE

deliver bins to your home for packing, return to pick them up when you’re finished, take them to a storage facility and provide an online photo inventory of your stored items.

Another option is using a company that will deliver a storage pod to your home. You do the packing and call for a pickup when you’re ready for the pod to be taken to the storage facility. But you will not be able to access specific items without having the whole unit returned.

The pod delivery and pickup require space for loading and unloading and find out whether there are parking or neighborhood rules regarding the pod.

• LABYRINTHS

April Greer - For The Washington Post

Suburban Maryland homeowner Vicky Baily installed a labyrinth in her yard for herself and neighbors to enjoy. It took six months and a lot of trial and error for Baily and landscaper Jonathan Graham to bring the idea to fruition in 2009. passersby and people who learned of it through word of mouth. Children gather on it during Halloween. At Christmas, the Bailys line it with lights.

Though Baily doesn’t use it regularly, she does walk the labyrinth when she knows a friend is facing a problem.

“It’s a way to promise them I’m really going to think about them,” she said.

She says she has been surprised by the amount of maintenance. She mows twice a week, weeds frequently, clips the edges two or three times a year and blows off leaves in the fall.

“It’s hard work, but it’s also a gift I can give my community,” she said, adding that she finds tending the labyrinth meditative.

The labyrinth has produced another surprise. When Baily’s stepson came to visit after the labyrinth was completed, she recalled: “He kind of looked at me in a funny way” and asked her if she had been the one building labyrinths in Rock Creek Park.

Mystery solved.

The Bailys’ labyrinth, along with several public labyrinths in the Washington region, will be featured in a documentary, “Labyrinth Journeys,” which will be screened May 31 at Washington National Cathedral. Visit labyrinthjourneysfilm.com for more information.

Lori Kidder first walked a labyrinth on a Michigan berry farm in 2009 and enjoyed how “you’re purposefully kind of thinking – or not thinking.”

“I want to put in a labyrinth,” the Herndon, Va., homeowner told her landscaper, “and want to kind of take back the garden.” She said the landscaper responded, “Good idea. ...

What’s a labyrinth?”

Kidder, 58, thought the labyrinth should go on the side of her yard but

chose to consult a dowser, someone who read the earth’s energy through wooden rods. The rods didn’t agree – and Kidder wound up with a seven-circuit, Cretan-style rock-lined labyrinth measuring 30 by 60 feet in the middle of her 2,000-plant garden. It was completed in 2011. With the scrub clearing and dowsing consultation, it cost $800 to $1,000.

All of the rocks, hundreds, came from the yard. Kidder had spent weeks digging them out of the dirt – “I was like the rock whisperer” – when she realized she’d have to have them hauled away. Instead, she decided to design the labyrinth with them. She placed each rock herself, starting with the largest on the outside and moving to the smallest on the inside. In the center are rocks with meaning – they’re from special places or represent people or memories.

On either side of the opening are the rocks placed by the dowser, along with a box of handouts written by Kidder that explain: “There isn’t a right way or a wrong way to walk a labyrinth.”

John and Anne Burrows came at their two labyrinths as landscaping elements. Anne saw an article in a gardening magazine about Cretan labyrinths and wrote to the author requesting instructions. She and John found out later that the author, Robert Ferre, was an expert on the spiritual aspects of labyrinths. But in responding to the Burrowses, “The loveliest thing about it was that he behaved like a gardener, and he replied with all the instructions, no charge,” she said.

John and Anne built a Cretan labyrinth in 2000 on a treeless part of their large property in North Potomac, Md., onetime pastureland they had purchased after years overseas with the World Bank (John is a for-

years. He estimates that his Connecticut-based business, the Labyrinth Company, builds 300 to 400 yearly; it also offers templates from $550 to $2,000, as well as kits for $4,000 to $28,000. While there’s been a “steady growth” in private labyrinths for 15 years, Tolzmann said, “the explosive growth is in public parks; it’s amazing.”

Labyrinths provide paved areas that can be a “self-serve meditation space” for adults and “something cool” for children to run around on, he said.

Artress thinks the interest in labyrinths will only increase as technology continues to interrupt our thoughts, invade our consciousness and make it difficult to quiet our minds. “There’s a hunger for it,” she said, “and a need for it.”

After Vickie Baily left the “fanatical” Christian denomination she grew up in, “I wanted to remain a spiritual person, but I couldn’t find anything I believed in.” Then she walked a labyrinth at the Retreat and Conference Center at Bon Secours in central Maryland. “It felt spiritual to me, and it didn’t have the parts of belief I couldn’t continue.”

At first Baily, a 62-year-old photographer and writer, would build labyrinths made of branches in Rock Creek Park, near her home in Chevy Chase, Md. (She thought she saw evidence that someone else was walking the labyrinths but didn’t know who it was.)

After all the children in their blended family grew up, she and her husband, Martin, bought a refurbished Victorian in the historic town of Garrett Park, Md., and decided to put a labyrinth in their yard as part of a re-grading project. It took six months and a lot of trial and error for Vickie Baily and landscaper Jonathan Graham to bring the idea to fruition in 2009.

After considering the space and how long it would take various kinds of grass to fill in the design, the two settled on a 30-foot Cretan-style, flat, seven-circuit labyrinth with “walls” of sod and paths of river gravel, which crunches lightly and pleasantly beneath visitors’ pacing feet.

The design, an eye-soothing swirl of green and gray, was created with paver edging. The labyrinth required two dump trucks of topsoil, 2,240 square feet of sod (some of which went on the outside of the labyrinth), 2 tons of stone dust and 1.5 tons of river gravel, and cost $13,000, Baily estimates.

The Baily labyrinth is the only one in this article not listed on the WorldWide Labyrinth Locator. “We just did it for ourselves and whoever found it,” Baily said. It has drawn neighbors,

mer economist who now works with therapy dogs; Anne is a therapist). In the decades since, trees have grown, and it has become cathedral-like with an overarching canopy. The walls are grass and the pathways are loose gravel, which Anne refreshes every once in a while by wheelbarrow. The graves of therapy dogs Charlie and Sophie are nearby.

The Chartres labyrinth is more formal; the Cretan is “our rustic one,” John said.

“I call the Chartres labyrinth John’s and the other one mine, so it’s sort of yin and yang,” Anne said.

How often do they use the labyrinths? “Besides maintaining them, if we’re really honest, not a lot,” Anne said. Though once, Anne said, “instead of a Christmas party – “ John: “We had a winter solstice party. And then everyone came out and walked the labyrinth. ... “Anne: “I think everyone had a candle and a glass of wine at the solstice.”

“Some see it as a religious thing, some see it as a meditation thing, some see it as a fun thing,” John said.

“I just see it as a landscaping thing.”

Liz Tuckermanty and her husband, Dale Manty, bought an old farmhouse, parts of which date to the 18th and 19th centuries, on two acres in Cheverly, Md., in 1983. When a fellow participant at a meditation conference mused that she wished there were a labyrinth near her house, “All of a sudden, it dawned on me that I had a huge space to do something,” Liz said.

Tuckermanty found instructions on the Labyrinth Society site. “I decided I liked the idea of being able to meditate in the center, so I made that six feet, and then that sort of dictated how far out it had to go.”

The center of the 60-foot, Chartres-style labyrinth has three benches and a trellis that supports hops vines, in honor of a son-in-law who likes beer. She lined the pathways with liriope, planting one every two feet; they took two years to grow in (because the couple had plenty of liriope in their yard, the cost of their labyrinth, too, can be measured mostly in terms of their labor). Mowing with a 13-inch mower keeps them the right height.

A retired community food program specialist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Tuckermanty, 69, teaches at the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation in Washington. “We create opportunities for people to think of different ways of experiencing the wisdom within themselves,” she said.

Friends, neighbors, church groups, Shalem students and the occasional visitor who finds her in the Labyrinth Locator come to walk the pathway.

A labyrinth “kind of meets you where you are,” Tuckermanty said. “Sometimes you come with a question and you feel like you get an answer, and sometimes you’re just relaxed and enjoy it.”

Marwan Taib owns Charleston on the River, located at 1 Illinois St. in St. Charles.

Trendy, affordable cuisine along the Fox Charleston on the River offers upscale, but casual, feel

By BEN DRAPER bdraper@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – After having success with another St. Charles restaurant, Spotted Fox Ale House, Marwan Taib saw an opportunity to find even more success with a unique, historical property on Illinois Street.

Taib opened Charleston on the River, located at 1 W. Illinois St., St. Charles, on March 17.

“I think the town has a vested interest in seeing this place be successful.

It’s a landmark – it’s a unique property,” said Taib, the owner. “People are thrilled. They’re happy to be back in this location, and happy to see us doing well.”

Taib said he wants to draw from the experience local patrons may remember when Erik and Me occupied the space.

“What people loved about [Erik and

Me] was that it was simple – it was casual and it was a great value,” Taib said. “[Charleston on the River] is like a getaway having the river right here.

At any given place in the restaurant, you’re able to see the river. It’s an experience that cannot be matched anywhere else.”

He described the restaurant as trendy and upscale, but with a focus on casual, American cuisine. He thinks Charleston on the River is a great place to get away from home and enjoy the ambiance.

“You’ll feel like you’re in this fancy, nice place, but when you look around, it’s casual with casual pricing. I think we found a sweet spot between the two,” he said. “We focus on food, service and ambiance – and [ambiance is] the element I think is missing in many places.”

téed mushrooms and onions, lettuce, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and roasted garlic aioli on a pretzel bun.

“It’s cooked then sliced, which is a new way of presenting the steak, rather than having that big piece of meat to bite,” Taib said.

The restaurant seats 130 people inside and another 80 on the outdoor patio that borders the Fox River. Taib said the restaurant’s patio soon will feature an outdoor bar and two fire pits by mid-June “We have been slammed,” he said.

“One time, we had 120 reservations on a Saturday.”

Taib has plans to open a new whiskey bar right called Prohibition next door. The 1920s-themed whiskey lounge will feature 50 whiskeys, and craft cocktails. Taib hopes to have it open in mid-July.

The approach Taib took with the menu was price-driven, keeping about 80 percent of the menu less than $14.

Taib had three corporate chefs build the menu. The chefs did an analysis of the area – from fine dining to casual to bars. Everything is very simple, but everything is “tweaked,” he said.

“With the chopped salad, we add salmon; the kale, we added the shrimp,” he explained. “What they wanted to do here was something trendy, but something you could eat every day,” he said.

Taib mentioned healthy options like the Kale Caesar Shrimp ($12.95), the Quinoa Chicken Salad ($10.95) and the Tabbouleh Salad ($9.95). Tabbouleh is a Middle-Eastern salad.

“We have excellent burgers – we have ground beef with brisket to make it juicy,” he said.

Charleston on the River has 11 entrées, including Seared Salmon ($14.95), Mango Mahi Mahi ($13.95), Shrimp Kabobs ($12.95) and Fish and Chips ($12.95).

“We have two steaks, and the Steak Merlot [$16.95] is excellent,” he said.

So far, Taib said, the No. 1 item has been the Steak Bomb Sandwich ($13.95).

The sandwich features sliced sirloin steak, and it comes with bourbon-sau-

Singer, songwriter Gregory Hyde to perform in Geneva

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Gregory Hyde, a St. Charles singer and songwriter, will perform from 6 to 9 p.m. June 22 at Fiora’s Restaurant, 317 S. Third St., Geneva.

“The style I’ll be playing is solo acoustic classic and modern pop and rock hits,” Hyde said. “Everything from The Beatles and Eagles to Nirvana and Coldplay.”

There is no cover charge.

“In the summer, when it’s really warm, it’s an ideal warm-weather experience of downtown Geneva on Third Street,” Hyde said.

Fiora’s has outdoor dining during good weather, so the music of featured performers and bands can be heard in the immediate area, he said.

“I think it’s equally rewarding to take it in by strolling down Third Street or stopping in at Fiora’s for a drink or something to eat on the patio,” Hyde said. “It’s one of my favorite gigs to play.”

Sugar grove man combines passions to make Fox River postcards

By DEBBIE BEHRENDS editorial@kcchronicle.com

E

ric Schaaf of Sugar Grove enjoys photography, fishing and the Fox River. On a recent chilly Saturday, he combined his three interests to create photographs worthy of postcards, showing the charm of the communities along the river.

“I planned to go fishing that day (May 14), but because the water was high, I was covering the towns just from the shore,” Schaaf said.

He set out on his bicycle with fishing gear and his iPhone to capture fish, photos and “the essence of the river in each town,” he said.

“The cloud formations were really pretty that day,” Schaaf said. “It was really brisk, felt more like October, but there were a lot of people out along the river. I saw a lot of people out fishing, riding bikes and families pushing strollers.”

Starting in Elgin, he stopped to fish and photograph river scenes in each community – Elgin, South Elgin, St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia, Aurora and Montgomery. Schaaf said he stopped to take a break and have lunch with his family in Geneva.

The end results were about 30 fish caught and released, and post-

card-quality photos of river scenes in each community shot with nothing more than an iPhone camera.

“I really think the portability of a camera phone lends itself to usefulness,” Schaaf said. “I’m certainly not a professional, but I am an avid photographer.”

A 1994 graduate of Northern Illinois University with a degree in art, Schaaf grew up in Darien. He works from home as a design manager and has

directed photo shoots.

Schaaf said he and his father started meeting up at the river when he was in college.

“I really liked the Fox River, and as I got more comfortable with it, I started to explore farther in each direction,” he said. “I’m really comfortable with fishing from Elgin to Oswego.”

Because he often fishes in downtown Aurora, he also has a lot of photographs from that area, including

some long-exposure nighttime shots.

He said he showed them to a friend who, it turns out, had a connection with the visitor and convention bureau in the community. Several of his photos have been used in the visitor’s guide, and a nighttime shot graces the cover.

Married 19 years, Schaaf said his wife often accompanies him on his adventures.

“She’s really into Facebook, so she posts a lot of pictures she takes while kayaking on the river,” he said.

The Schaafs have two sons, ages 13 and 16.

Schaaf shares his love of fishing with his older son, and they swept a river bass fishing tournament last summer in Aurora.

“We fish a lot,” Schaaf said with a laugh. “We won first place for team fishing, I won first place individual and he won first place youth. We took home about $2,500 in cash and prizes.”

Though he said that was a lot of fun, he really enjoys combining photography with his time on the river, For anyone itching to know more about fishing the Fox, Schaaf has a blog – since 2009 – at www.fishthefox. com. It contains information about the condition of the river, videos, a river guide and photos.

I have been extremely fortunate in that local superstar celebs Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg have embraced The Arcada as their “date night out.” We have done several things together, including several private functions. All I can say is that in 30-plus years in this biz, I have rarely come upon anyone who is as sincere and warm as Donnie. He truly loves people, and after traveling with him to his childhood home outside of Boston, I can truly say that he has not forgotten where he came from and the values he has learned along the way.

He is a very interesting individual, as I have watched him actually seek ways of making people feel special. A rare kind of guy these days.

“Do you think Peter Cetera will ever re-join the band Chicago?” – Sammy T., Chicago

I could not imagine it, not after the band’s recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Brooklyn.

I was there with estranged original drummer Danny Seraphine, and the tension was as thick and as cold as the ice on Lake Michigan in January.

There are a few “reasons” why Peter did not perform with the band on the show, and a few others why he did not even make an appearance. It has been mostly directed at the fact that Peter decided not to attend because of creative differences with the rest of the band about their performance on the show. At the end of the day, it was the fans that got cheated, and I think it will be a long time before all the parties involved will let this bygone be bygone.

Annual vines are landscape problem-solvers. They add height and color to garden walls and fences; they squeeze into narrow spaces to screen undesirable views; they soften retaining walls as they tumble over their edges; and they weave their way through perennial borders covering empty spaces.

Annual vines have several advantages over their perennial cousins. They grow vigorously and cover trellises quickly. Most are easily grown from seed. Many are suitable for growing in containers, and most of them bloom throughout the summer.

Morning glories are easy to grow and available in a rainbow of colors. These twining vines quickly grow eight to 10 feet. Their heart-shaped green foliage is pretty, too. While waiting for clematis to establish, a morning glory provides color and shade for the clematis’ roots.

These are a couple pieces on display at the Norris Cultural Arts Center in St. Charles as part of the Yellow House Artists’ spring show, “Artistry in Color.”

Artists bring ‘Color’ to Norris Cultural Arts Center

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Deann Alleman, one of the original members of the Yellow House Artists, doesn’t view the group’s biannual shows as just a way for her and her peers to share – and potentially sell – their artwork.

“I see our shows as a way to help people learn more about the oil pastel medium,” the Sugar Grove resident said, describing the medium as versatile and fun to work with.

Yellow House Artists is an organization of oil pastel artists that had its start in 2007, when 17 artists had a gallery in a yellow house during the St. Charles Fine Art Show. It has since grown to nearly 50 members from the Tri-Cities and western Kane County, as well as other communities in the metropolitan area, according to a news release.

Alleman is one of 25 members participating in the group’s spring show, “Artistry in Color.”

It runs through July 10 at the Norris Cultural Arts Center, 1040 Dunham Road, St. Charles. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. Call 630-584-7200, ext. 14, to verify hours, which are subject to change.

Members of the public may meet the artists at a reception planned for June 12

If you go n WHAT: “Artistry in Color” artists’

reception n WHEN: 2 to 4 p.m. June 12 n WHERE: Norris Cultural Arts Center,

1040 Dunham Road, St. Charles n INFO: www.yellowhouseartists.com from 2 to 4 p.m.

Admission and parking are free.

Most artists submitted multiple pieces for the show, which features a “great variety” of styles, Alleman said. She noted each artist has a favorite focus, such as still lifes and landscapes, which is hers.

Getting together with artists who work in the same medium is both inspiring and fun, Alleman said, adding they can learn from each other.

She noted members of Yellow House Artists use various techniques when working with oil pastels.

“Colors can be layered and blended, smeared or smudged, using fingers, some type of tool, or left as applied, all at the artist’s discretion,” the release stated. “The works are generally framed under glass to protect the surface image.”

Another piece on display at the Norris Cultural Arts Center in St. Charles as part of the Yellow House Artists’ spring show, “Artistry in Color.”

Cutting back on the salt doesn’t condemn you to a lifetime of bland, flavorless eating.

Food blogger Jessica Goldman Foung dispels that rumor as baseless in her new book, “LowSo Good: A Guide to Real Food, Big Flavor and Less Sodium” (Chronicle Books).

Foung offers a step-by-step guide that will change how people see, cook and enjoy low-sodium diets. She includes a “7-Day Taste Bud Reboot” and food tricks and ingredient swaps along with more than 70 practice recipes. Look for advice on office meals, traveling, dating and entertaining.

The author provides creative ways one can stretch “one-use“ spices, plus tips on staying well during spring and summer travel.

Check out Foung’s recipe (below) for Kale Cobb Salad and you’ll come away with a new appreciation of this vegetable. She dubs kale “the little black dress of vegetables,” noting that cooks “can dress it up for any season.”

Kale Cobb Salad 2 Tbl. olive oil Zest and juice of 1 lemon 1/4 tsp. salt-free garlic powder 2 large avocados, halved and pitted 24 large Lacinato kale leaves, deribbed (also known as Tuscan kale, Tuscan cabbage, Italian kale, dinosaur kale, black kale.

1 cup corn kernels, fresh or thawed frozen 1 nectarine, pitted and diced 4 to 6 radishes, trimmed and thinly sliced 2 hard-boiled eggs, finely chopped In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, the lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice and the garlic powder. Scoop out half of an avocado, add it to the bowl and use a fork to mash it with the other ingredients until you have a creamy dressing.

Cut the kale leaves into thin ribbons and add them to the dressing. Use your hands to massage the dressing into the kale until it becomes soft, 2 to 3 minutes.

Taste and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil or more lemon juice, if needed. Set aside.

Cut the remaining avocado into 1/2-inch cubes.

Place the kale mixture into a salad bowl or onto a large serving dish. For a traditional composition, starting at one side, put a row of corn kernels, a row of nectarine cubes, a row of cubed avocado, a row of sliced radishes and a row of chopped hard-boiled eggs. Or use tongs of salad spoons to mix everything together. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 3 days.

JUNE 12 Yeah, it wasn’t pretty. In my desperation I’d lost my grip on grammar, spelling, and even punctuation, invoked the I-mean-business “N o w” text (space added for emphasis), and even threw in the big guns, the ever popular “I will embarrass you” for good measure. That did the trick.

Noah knew I’d likely find a way to get down there and “yoohoo, Noah!” until I found him, a needle in a haystack of 462 identically gowned graduates to be. But I was a mom on a mission. There would be pictures. Just then I spotted a friend who works at the high school, and perhaps a little ungracefully threw myself at him in a hug. Yeah. This was happening. What else could he do but help? He descended the stairs, and a few minutes later, produced my son. It’s maybe the best picture I have of my family, because we all look a little relieved, each for vastly different reasons.

All’s well that ends well, indeed.

We only had to turn around once on our way to Northern Illinois University for Batavia High School’s commencement exercises, when Noah discovered he’d left his cap and gown at home. Ha! Kinda like prom night the weekend before, when he’d realized, en route to his girlfriend’s house, that he’d forgotten to brush his teeth.

All’s well that ends well, I say. But after we arrived at NIU’s Convocation Center and the crush of graduates and families heading inside inspired me to tell Noah to jump out of the car and join his friends while we searched for a parking spot, I experienced a pang of regret as I watched him disappear into the crowd.

We’d not yet taken pictures, and the email from the school had been clear – the next time we saw him would be after he graduated, when he’d already have turned in his cap and gown. Shoot! So much for the requisite pictures of my firstborn on his big day, him in his cap and gown.

And never mind the special shots of my babies posed on the front steps of our house, where I take all of their first-day-of-school pictures. Dang it!

And forget about the would-be shots of our family taken by a neighbor awkwardly pressed into service. Nope, I’d blown it.

But hope springs eternal, so I racewalked through the crowd, bobbing and weaving around stalled grandparents and uncertain toddlers, all the while texting Noah, apparently in vain.

And then I spotted him, heading with his classmates toward the stairs that would lead them downstairs to the gymnasium where they were to assemble and collect their honor stoles.

I called out to him a few times, as Holly died of shame at my elbow, but he either ignored me or just couldn’t hear. Before I could catch up he descended the stairs and vanished from view.

Swimming good for painful joints Dear Dr. K: I’m overweight, and I want to exercise. But I have painful knees that make it difficult to walk. Is swimming a good alternative?

Dear Reader: In terms of convenience, it’s hard to beat brisk walking as a form of exercise. You don’t need any special equipment or venue, and you can do it in many places.

But during the winter, harsh weather can make walking outdoors unpleasant -- even treacherous at times. And for some people -- such as those with achy knees, sore hips or substantial weight -- walking may be uncomfortable.

The good news is that swimming allows you to meet your fitness goals with less stress on your joints and muscles than brisk walking.

Large studies looking at the benefits of physical activity have tended to lump swimming together with other types of exercise.

That’s because relatively few people swim on a regular basis. But plenty of evidence points to lower rates of heart disease among people who do regular, moderate- to vigorous-intensity exercise. And swimming laps definitely qualifies.

Recreational swimming will burn about the same calories as brisk walking. One key advantage to swimming is that water makes you buoyant, which takes the stress off your joints. This can be especially helpful for people who are carrying excess weight.

Water also offers resistance as you move through it, which allows you to work out vigorously (if you’re able) with little chance of injury. Swimming laps can also be relaxing and meditative, which may offer some stress relief. Finally, swimming is an activity you can do throughout your life.

If you haven’t been swimming in a while, start slowly. Try swimming just five to 10 minutes while coordinating your breathing, strokes and kicking. Invest in a pair of

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff well-fitting goggles. If doing laps isn’t your thing, try walking or running in water.

Another option is water aerobics. These exercises are done in waist-deep or higher water and may use floating devices and weights. Many community centers, YMCAs and other facilities with pools offer water aerobics classes.

One downside to swimming is that, because it’s not weight-bearing, it’s not optimal for keeping your bones strong. If you do decide to take up swimming as your main form of aerobic exercise, you’ll need to supplement it with some weight-bearing exercise. Strength training, walking, dancing, stair climbing or gardening all fit that bill.

True, they put stress on the knees. But the exercises will have strengthened support for your knees, and that should reduce any discomfort.

Severe arthritis of my right hip caused me to have a hip replacement. I attributed the arthritis in that hip to the jogging (on hard surfaces) I’d done for decades, so I stopped jogging. If I lived in Southern California (where I was raised) and had a pool, I would have switched to swimming. However, in Boston where I live, only indoor pools have water most of the year, and getting to a pool every day is a hassle. So I use an elliptical cross-trainer. It minimizes the impact on leg joints, though not as much as swimming.

A local gym is very likely to have these machines.

Dr. Wallace: I will be a freshman at Northern Illinois University in September. My problem is that I’m not sure what kind of work I want to do after I earn my degree. Is this unusual? I would hate to wind up with a degree in education and then decide I don’t want to be a teacher.

Will you please give me a bit of advice regarding choosing a major? And can you tell me how your college degree helped you to reach your goals? – Unsure,

Sycamore, Ill. Unsure: Your situation is not

the least bit unusual. An important facet of your college education is sheer discovery of who you are and what you want to do in life. By no means is it necessary, or even desirable, that you enter college certain of your career path. Most schools don’t even require you to declare a major until you’ve finished your second year.

In a survey of over 3,000 12th graders by Careers and College magazine, 80 percent said they did not have clear career goals.

Most said their prime interest was to find meaningful work.

Some 65 percent said job satisfaction was the most important factor influencing career choice; another 10 percent cited making a contribution to society. The remaining 25 percent said their chief motivation was salary.

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace What were the most popular career goals among high school students? The field of science and health was tops, at 38 percent, followed by communications (14 percent), finance (7 percent), government (5 percent), and professional athletics (4 percent).

All that’s necessary right now, Unsure, is that you begin thinking about possible career interests. An open mind and willingness to explore will serve you far better in college than rigid certainty. Self-discovery is the key. When you know yourself, you’re far less likely to embark on a career you lack the heart to pursue.

You are a wise young lady for choosing to further your education at NIU. It’s a very special university offering a myriad of programs to help all students reach their goals. I was fortunate to have chosen NIU as a graduate student when teaching and coaching basketball became my passion. My undergraduate liberal arts degree at Knox College, with a major in sociology, provided a solid foundation for writing a syndicated column for teens although I had no plans at

the time to become a writer.

When I entered Knox College, I had no thoughts of what form of employment would provide enjoyment, self-satisfaction and the desire to help others to become good citizens. Knox and NIU both provided the formal background.

It was then up to me to use what innate skills I possessed to reach my goal.

So, Unsure, it will take time, but eventually experience will stimulate your interests in the direction of an exciting, enjoyable, and full-filling vocation.

Trust me!

Dr. Wallace I’m a faithful reader of your column and would enjoy sharing some good advice I received from my dentist.

On my recent dental check-up a cavity was discovered, and so I had it taken care of immediately and felt relieved! My dentist told me to drink liquids from a straw rather than from a glass or can. That way the liquid has less chance of coming into contact with the teeth and this helps prevent cavities! – La Fawn,

Gary, Ind. La Fawn: Thanks for sharing

your health tip with our teen readers. Even moms, dads, and grandparents can benefit from this advice.

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY I have been seeing “Russell” Jeanne for about a year.

Phillips Last March he told me he had to move in with his grandmother because “he was the only bachelor in the family who could take care of her.” Stupidly, I believed him.

Not long after that, I found out he had a pregnant girlfriend. I didn’t let on that I knew, and we didn’t see each other for about three months because he was “busy getting promoted at work.” Now I have started seeing him again, and I just can’t seem to let it go.

The problem is I still haven’t told Russell I know about the girlfriend and the baby.

I’m not sure how to go about letting him know I know what’s going on. I can’t bear the thought of him walking away from me again.

How should I confront him? I’m in love, confused and heartbroken at the same time. – Food in Love in Miami Dear F.I.L.: Try this – a full-frontal assault of plain honesty. Tell him you know he slept with another woman and got her pregnant, and that story he told you about his grandmother was pure guano. Tell him you know he has stayed away because he preferred to be with someone else. Say that although you love him, you realize that as far as he’s concerned, you’re going cold turkey. THEN DO IT. And if you haven’t already, see your OB/ GYN and ask to be checked for STDs now that you know the “man” you’re in love with can’t be trusted. There’s an adage I’ll share because it applies to you: The truth will set you free.

Dear Abby: If your office or family has a $20 limit on gift exchanges, and you find a $20 gift on sale for $10, is that considered a $20 gift or a $10 one? – Pinching Pennies in Ohio Dear Pinching: Prices are so fluid during some of the holidays that no one really knows the true “value” of what’s being purchased anymore. If there is a $20 limit on what you’re supposed to spend, it means you shouldn’t spend any MORE than $20 – and not much less than $20. If you find something marked $20 and can get it for less, you are a wise shopper – not a piker.

P.S. You can also just buy a $20 gift card and avoid the uncertainty.

Dear Abby: If a single woman is having relations with a married man, then she is known as his mistress. But what do you call a single man who is having relations with a married woman? Would he be a “mister” – or what? – Curious in Macon, Ga. Dear Curious: He could be referred to as her lover or paramour. According to the Urban Dictionary, he could also be called a “manstress.” (If there is financial support involved, then he’s a gigolo and she’s a “sugar mama.”)

Job satisfaction is most important

TELEVISION Best Bets THURSDAY

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM The Big Bang Theory Oscar nominee June Squibb (“Nebraska”) guest stars in “The Meemaw Materialization” as Sheldon’s (Jim Parsons) often-mentioned but previously unseen grandmother, whose visit absolutely thrills her grandson — until she and Amy (Mayim Bialik) almost immediately lock horns. Raj (Kunal Nayyar) encounters someone (guest star Alessandra Torresani) at the comic-book store who gives him second thoughts about his romance with Emlly (Laura Spencer).

7 p.m. on % WMAQ Strong “The Final Showdown” is exactly what this episode’s title indicates, as the two remaining teams face off in the season finale — and if you think the challenges they’ve endured up to now have been tough, wait until you see what they have to contend with in the last three legs of their pursuit. It’ll be worth it for the winners, though, in terms of both bank account and ego.

Gabrielle Reece hosts the series that includes Sylvester Stallone as an executive producer.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Jimmy Kimmel Live In what has become an annual tradition during the NBA Finals, Kimmel

presents special editions of his latenight talk show at an earlier hour on every game night — acknowledging sports, but also going heavy on guests from the entertainment world. To that end, these episodes will be featuring the casts of some of the summer’s big movies, including “Finding Dory” (made by ABC owner Disney) and the female-centric remake of “Ghostbusters.”

7 p.m. on ) WGN DC’s Legends of Tomorrow

The adventure series’ opening story concludes with “Pilot, Part 2,” as the united heroes find themselves circled by criminals as they track down Vandal Savage (guest star Casper Crump).

The ensuing brawl leaves the bad guys with a potent part of the Atom’s (Brandon Routh) costume, prompting Professor Stein (Victor Garber) to get in touch with his younger self (guest star Graeme McComb) to retrieve it.

Caity Lotz and Falk Hentschel also star.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Bones

A television crew follows the Jeffersonian team during the investigation of a long-buried body found in a landfill in the new episode “The Movie in the Making.” Different members respond differently to being caught on camera, with Booth and Aubrey (David Boreanaz, John Boyd) particularly keen on their potential stardom while Brennan (Emily Deschanel) is concerned about maintaining her profes-

sional integrity. TJ Thyne and Michaela Conlin also star.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Mom Disney Channel alum Emily Osment has a very non-Disney-like guest role in “Thigh Gap and a Rack of Lamb.”

She plays a young addict encountered at a meeting by Christy and Bonnie (Anna Faris, Allison Janney), who take it upon themselves to help her ... though they don’t have all the counseling experience it may end up requiring.

Sara Rue reprises her earlier guest part. Jaime Pressly also stars.

8 p.m. on _ WLS 2016 NBA Finals The 16 teams that began the NBA playoffs in April have been winnowed down to two, and they’ll go at it beginning tonight in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. The winners of this best-of-seven series take home the O’Brien Trophy as the 2015-16 league champs. Last year, that honor went to the Golden State Warriors, who vanquished the Cleveland Cavaliers in six games.

8 p.m. on ) WGN Beauty and the Beast It must be nearing summer if this adventure-drama series is returning — but the Season 4 premiere, “Monsieur et Madame Bete,” means the beginning of the end for Catherine and Vincent (Kristin Kreuk, Jay Ryan) since it’s the show’s final round. They’re married now, but that doesn’t mean their troubles have lessened, especially now that a bounty has been posted for beasts. Translation: Watch out, Vincent. Nina Lisandrello and Austin Basis continue to co-star.

8 p.m. on @ WFLD American Grit Defense and offense both factor into the new episode “Barricade the Bunker,” with that title pretty much describing what the competitors have to do.

Initially, they must keep rivals out of their shelter, then they’re tasked with retrieving their flags from others’ habitats. Winning this round has personal significance, since the victors will be reunited with loved ones. John Cena is the host, and the military-veteran “Cadre” includes Noah Galloway.

8:30 p.m. on ^ WBBM The Odd Couple With Felix (Thomas Lennon) gone for the weekend — thanks to his big plans with Emily (Lindsay Sloane) — Oscar (Matthew Perry) takes the occasion to throw a big party in “Unger the Influ-

Scott Caan stars in “Hawaii Five-0” Friday on CBS. ence.” Murphy (Geoff Stults) assists in the preparations, but the result isn’t exactly what was intended. Wendell Pierce and Yvette Nicole Brown also star.

FRIDAY

7 p.m. on ) WGN Masters of Illusion The title of the new episode “Classic Magic Mashups” suggests that each act will involve several familiar aspects of prestidigitation, likely causing the featured illusionists to reach beyond their usual comfort zones to incorporate other elements. The performers showcased here are Les Arnold and Dazzle, Chris Randall, Jason Bishop, Johnny Ace Palmer, Sittah and Greg Frewin. Dean Cain continues as host.

Another episode follows.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD The Simpsons Lisa (voice of Yeardley Smith) goes in search of a female inventor’s creation in “Paths of Glory.” When the trail leads her to a former asylum, Bart (voice of Nancy Cartwright) joins her there, takes the notebooks of one of the ex-patients and maintains he wrote them himself. Unfortunately for him, Homer and Marge (voices of Dan Castellaneta and Julie Kavner) also believe his claim. Hank Azaria also is in the voice cast. Another episode follows.

7:30 p.m. on + WTTW Carol Burnett’s Favorite Sketches A Southern belle’s gown with a wide curtain rod through the shoulders: If you know that image, you know what to expect from this new special in which beloved television icon Burnett chooses the segments from her 196778 comedy-variety series that still amuse her the most.

It’s usually “wring” in this instance, but the title of the episode “Penn & Teller Ring Someone’s Neck” likely has accurately spelled meaning in the case of the related magic trick. The duo surveys illusionists hoping to baffle them, thereby securing a spot in their Las Vegas act. The featured magicians include Victor & Diamond, Francis Menotti, Nash Fung and Chad Juros.

Jonathan Ross is the host.

2:30 p.m. on _ WLS IndyCar Racing Race 2 of the Chevrolet Duel in Detroit brings IndyCar drivers including Tony Kanaan, Helio Castroneves, Will Power and James Hinchcliffe back to Belle Isle for a second afternoon of hard driving on the 2.34-mile, 13-turn street circuit.
