Police: Officer shoots dog in self-defense during attack

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com

WHERE IT’S AT

EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK Kathy Balcazar

BATAVIA – A Batavia police officer shot a stray black-and-white pit bullmix June 5 after it lunged to attack him, police said.

The dog’s owner, Jennifer Atkinson, 42, of the 0-100 block of North Harrison Street, Batavia, was charged under the city’s ordinance for her dog running at large, Detective Kevin Bretz said.

She is to appear in Kane County Branch Court on July 5 and could face a fine of up to $500, Bretz said.

“As far as we are concerned, it was justified,” Bretz said of the officer shooting the dog rather than risk being bitten by it.

The dog, named Snugz, is already home from being treated for its injuries, Bretz said. He said he did not know how old or how big Snugz is.

Snugz was involved in another dogbite incident in April 2015, but Bretz said the person who was bitten ap-

proached the dog while it was chained up in its own yard.

In the recent incident, the dog was reported to police at 9:25 a.m. running loose on West Wilson Street near Lincoln Street, a Batavia police news release stated.

The officer found the dog on the north side of Wilson Street, west of Harrison Street, and approached him with a leash, but the dog immediately began being aggressive and ran at the officer several times, the release stated.

The officer offered it several dog cookies, which the dog accepted – but when the officer tried again to take control of the dog, it charged at him again, causing him to retreat behind his vehicle, the release said.

By then, the officer requested another officer come with a dog-catch pole, the release said. But while awaiting for the second officer to arrive, a passerby told the officer that he had seen the dog at a residence on Harrison Street, the release said.

The officer began to walk toward the residence when the dog charged at him full speed with his teeth showing, and – as the officer backed away – he fell backward on the ground, the release said.

While he was lying on his back, the dog continued its approach, and the officer, fearing that he would be severely injured by the dog, shot the animal in its side, the release said.

The dog ran off, but after the second officer arrived, a passerby told police that a blood-covered black-and-white dog had just attacked another dog near Jefferson and Houston streets, the release said.

The owner of that dog, a Labrador retriever, told police he had to get between them to get the attacking dog away from his dog, but that neither of them had been injured, the release said.

Officers finally found the injured dog at the owner’s residence, resulting in the charge against its owner, the release said.

Batavia resident feels benefit of going solar

By BEN DRAPER bdraper@shawmedia.com How does a $0 electric bill sound?

That was what Batavia resident Ken Case experienced last month. In fact, he got a credit.

“This last bill I got, I owed less than zero. I gave a surplus back,” Case said.

He is one of a growing number of homeowners to install solar panels on his home. He has 17 panels on the roof of his house and was simply motivated by the immediate savings on his bill.

“I’m not one of those green-type people,” Ken Case said.

Ken does have a connection in the business: brother Steve Case of St. Charles owns Solar Plus USA and installed the panels on Ken’s home.

Steve Case is a general contractor and Illinois-licensed roofing contractor. He began building homes in 1997, but after the housing market crashed in 2008, he saw the need for value-added remodeling companies to provide basic services on all homes, specifically within the roofing industry. In 2014, he started Solar Plus USA and has since installed more than 20 residential arrays, including four in Batavia and four in St. Charles. Solar Plus USA also has started installing solar panels on businesses.

“Of all of the home improvement we’ve worked on, I’ve never seen any sector more prepared and self-taught than those that choose renewable energy,” Steve Case said. “It’s not a common item. It starts with curiosity, then research. Then we get a call.”

Former Kane County board member and Geneva resident Mike Donahue has had a solar array installed at his home for nearly five years. Donahue, now retired, worked in the renewable energy industry – specifically with wind turbines – and used a different contractor to install his panels.

“I have an ideal situation; [the panels] are mounted on the ground on the back part of my property and screened from view. Most people I know that have been here don’t even know I have them,” he said. “It’s a large array and provides more than 100 percent of my home [energy needs].”

Donahue said that in the past five years, the price of installing solar panels has plummeted, making the upfront cost more reasonable. While on the County Board, he advocated for the savings taxpayers could enjoy if local governmental institutions installed panels on their buildings.

“For institutions like schools and governmental facilities, it makes complete financial sense to install solar panels on their buildings. They’ll pay for themselves in five years,” he said.

“From the taxpayers’ perspective, this is

Ken Case and his family save money on their electric bill every month since having solar panels installed onto the roof of their Batavia home.

“Of all of the home improvement we’ve worked on, I’ve never seen any sector more prepared and self-taught than those that choose renewable energy. It’s not a common item.

It starts with curiosity, then research. Then we get a call.”

Steve Case Solar Plus USA Owner a no-brainer. The judicial center is enormous and uses a lot of electricity. To offset with solar would be a financial gain.”

Donahue said his own solar array has been incredibly reliable. The only time the panels didn’t produce was during the recent polar vortex when the panels iced up.

“Before we installed, they estimate our usage and project the output from your array. Now going almost five years, the output of my array is at 99 percent of their projections,” he said.

Steve Case said the solar panels he installs are durable, and each is tested using a simulation of the worst hail storm on record: hail flying at 249 mph.

Coming from the roofing side of things, he also feels Solar Plus USA offers a little extra peace of mind to the homeowner.

“The No. 1 issue with installing solar panels is roof leaks. So, as roofers, we don’t have the same concerns than if an electrician installed the panels,” he said.

Steve Case said the upfront cost can reach into the tens of thousands of dollars, but a large chunk of the cost would be recouped the next time the homeowner files his or her taxes.

“You’d recoup a 30 percent [Solar Investment] Tax Credit off of your tax obligation, and you’d recoup that the next tax season,” Steve Case said.

The Solar Investment Tax Credit is secured until 2019, and then it depreciates the following two years. The state of Illinois also offers solar tax incentives.

Having installed his panels in late 2015 and claiming the tax credit on his recent taxes, Ken Case said the process was easy, using TurboTax to make the claim. As for the system itself, Ken Case said he expected to hear an electrical “hum” but said it’s silent. Even during the winter or on cloudy days, the array still produces energy.

“You don’t notice anything but your bill,” he said.

Ken Case said he hasn’t had any complaints from neighbors, either.

“One lady down the road wants to stop over and look at it,” he said. “My direct neighbors don’t say anything about it. It’s flat on the roof and black.

You don’t really notice it unless you’re halfway back from the house.”

Steve Case said he spends a lot of time educating people on solar. In addition to the tax incentives and how many panels can be installed, he also informs potential clients about the increased value of their home.

“Some people have said their [homeowners association] doesn’t allow it, but Illinois has a law that overrides any HOA for renewable energy,” he said. “Anybody that is doing solar is passionate about it. It’s just neat putting a power source on your roof.”

Wide ranging topics mark inaugural Legislative Forum

By BEN DRAPER bdraper@shawmedia.com

“This can be much more than just a monument.

It tells a story.”

Steve Vasilion Batavia architect

Creation of the memorial would represent the most ambitious community project that Batavia has undertaken since the construction of the Riverwalk itself in the 1990s.

The precise location is yet to be determined, but would be somewhere in the grassy area between the Batavia Government Center building and Depot Pond.

Batavia businessman Austin Dempsey, who is working with Vasilion on the project, said the cost, which probably will reach several hundred thousand dollars, would be underwritten by donors.

There would be numerous opportunities for donors to sponsor specific parts of the memorial, Dempsey said, along with around 2,000 brick pavers that would be much like those that helped finance the Riverwalk. Both Vasilion and Dempsey said a realistic timeline for completion of the memorial would be 2020. Vasilion said actual construction would take about one year.

BATAVIA – The Batavia Chamber of Commerce hosted its first Legislative Forum on June 13 in the Batavia City Council chambers. A bimonthly event, each meeting will feature a presentation – with a question-and-answer period – from a government representative. The June 13 meeting featured economic development consultant for the city of Batavia Chris Aiston, who spoke about development in Batavia.

The goal of the forums is to simply provide information, according to Debra Reiter, chair of the Batavia Chamber of Commerce Legislative Committee and CEO of CMIT Solutions of Batavia.

“It’s really that simple. It’s meant to provide information to people who want information from government officials that they don’t normally get to meet,” she said.

Many local politicians were on hand, including Batavia Mayor Jeff Schielke, state Rep. Mike Fortner and Kane County Board members Susan Starrett and John Martin. In addition to Aiston’s presentation, each representative was afforded time to speak with the group. Schielke spoke on topics ranging from the Illinois state budget to flippers buying and improving houses in Batavia.

“We’ve got 274 mayors and village presidents, many of whom are virtually scared to face the hardcore reality about what’s happening with the state of Illinois and its finances,” he said. “Local governments in Illinois are somewhat dependent on some money coming at them from the state of Illinois.”

He said that although the city had issued less than 40 permits for new homes in 2014 and 2015 combined, he predicts an influx of new residents.

“We have had a very interesting thing occurring here, which we think is going to swell our population,” he said. “You’ll probably start hearing about it when school starts in August.

I’m predicting our schools are going to get slammed with new kids.

Aiston spoke at length about the benefits of retaining current businesses, but also of the need to attract new business and encourage business-friendly policies and processes.

One of the business-friendly policies centered around structural changes to the city’s utility rate to benefit high-demand users.

“If we can make it more palatable to pay their electric bills, they won’t leave. If they leave, that threatens the rates of all other users,” Aiston said.

The next legislative forum is planned for August and will most likely follow the same format, according to organizers.

The Batavia Flag Day committee unveils plans for a Flag Day monument at the Flag Day celebration June 14. The monument honors Batavia’s Dr. Bernard Cigrand, considered the father of Flag Day, and will feature a circular design with five obelisks that commemorate iconic flag events, among other plaques and information.

• Thursday, June 16, 2016

Gianna Jensen, 10, cruises down the Houston Street hill June 12 during the second annual Batavia Ice Cream Social. Jensen, along with younger sister Annelise, 7, won the Grand Champion and Mayor’s Favorite awards during the soap box derby.

The event was held in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of Flag Day celebration. To view more photos from the event, visit KCChronicle.com.

BATAVIA – The story of the American flag and its place in U.S. history is to be told with a memorial on the Batavia Riverwalk.

Community leaders unveiled the proposal on the 100th anniversary of Flag Day, June 14, during the centennial celebration.

Designed by Batavia architect Steve Vasilion, the memorial would pay homage to Dr. Bernard J. Cigrand, the Batavia dentist who campaigned 30 years for the Flag Day observance, and finally succeeded in 1916.

With timelines tracing the development of the flag and American history, as well as iconic images of the Stars and Stripes, the memorial is designed to be both inspirational and educational.

“This can be much more than just a monument,” Vasilion said. “It tells a story.”

Members of the Batavia City Council got a sneak peek at the plans about a week ago and expressed immediate support for the project.

“The level of thought and creativity is amazing,” 7th Ward Alderman Drew McFadden said.

With a 40-foot diameter, the circular memorial would have a 6-footwide walkway on the perimeter, interspersed with five marble-clad obelisks, each commemorating great moments in the history of the flag.

These would include the creation of the first flag by Betsy Ross, the writing of the national anthem by Francis Scott Key, the flag-raising on Iwo Jima during World War II, the 1969 moon landing and of course Cigrand and Flag Day. The one-foot-thick poured concrete helix walls would rise from about four-and-a-half feet to about nine feet, representing the nation’s population growth, and would feature recessed bands, colored with tile, running around the length of the memorial.

A red band would provide a timeline of the history of the American flag, while a blue band would tell the story of America’s wars. There would be space for additional bands to recount other major milestones in American history.

At the center of the memorial would be a 10-by-18-foot American flag fluttering atop a 50-foot-high flagpole.

Circling the memorial would be a “Ring of Honor” with the names of all the Medal of Honor winners from Illinois, as well as “Fallen Hero” headstones honoring assassinated presidents, civic leaders, local police and firefighters, and special events in history.

Man pleads guilty to seeking sex with minor KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com NORTH AURORA – A North Aurora man will head to prison after he pleaded guilty for traveling to an Aurora hotel to engage in a sexual encounter with children, according to a news release from the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office.

On June 8, Ruryk Michel, 40, of the 500 block of Hidden Creek Lane, North Aurora, agreed to a sentence of 33 Ruryk Michel months in the Illinois Department of Corrections in exchange for a guilty plea to traveling to meet a minor, a Class 3 felony. Circuit Judge James C. Hallock accepted the plea, the release stated.

According to the release, on Dec. 23, 2014, Michel went to an Aurora hotel planning to have sex with what he believed would be a 15- and a 14-year-old girl. When Michel arrived at the hotel, he met a person he thought was the girls’ mother, confirmed that he wanted sexual favors and was arrested by officers from Homeland Security Investigations and the Aurora Police Department.

The case was prosecuted

by Kane County Assistant State’s Attorney Christine Bayer.

In addition to the prison term, Michel must register for 10 years as a sexual offender in accordance with the Illinois Sexual Offender Registration Act, according to the release.

According to Illinois law, Michel is eligible for day-forday sentencing. He receives credit for two days served in the Kane County Jail. He had been free on $5,000 bond.

Bond was revoked upon conviction.

City Council OKs massage rules

By MARK FOSTER editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – Businesses providing massage services must now obtain a city license to operate in Batavia.

The Batavia City Council approved a “bodywork” ordinance – providing for the licensing and regulation of massage establishments – at its June 6 meeting.

Aldermen were already working on the ordinance when police made arrests on charges of misdemeanor prostitution at two Batavia massage businesses on May 12.

A critical component of

the new ordinance requires massage establishments to secure a city permit.

The permit fee is $100 for establishments where bodywork is the primary service offered, and $50 for businesses where bodywork services are secondary. The ordinance also levies fees for police background checks.

Compliance checks will continue to be performed under the law, police Chief Gary Schira said, in much the same way that police conduct checks to ensure that retail stores and taverns do not sell alcohol or tobacco to underage buyers.

Massage business employ-

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

In other business, the City Council: • Accepted the resignation of City Clerk Heidi Wetzel, who is moving to Michigan to take a new job. Wetzel was first elected to the post in 2009 and was re-elected in 2013. The city plans to appoint a replacement to fill the remainder of Wetzel’s unexpired term. Her last day will

be June 30.

• Approved the issuance of liquor licenses to two gasoline stations, including Shell of Batavia, 108 N. Batavia Ave., and Citgo, 200 E. Fabyan Parkway. Earlier this spring, aldermen approved the Dunkin’ Donuts drive-thru lane for the Shell station.

• Authorized Rempe-Sharpe and Associates of Geneva to perform engineering design work to separate the storm sewer and sanitary sewer systems in neighborhoods in the near southwest side of the city for $26,000. A heavy rainstorm a year ago caused raw sewage to back up into residents’ basements.

Aldermen pick 3rd sculpture for bridge

By MARK FOSTER editorial@kcchronicle.com

Using a secret ballot, Batavia aldermen picked DeKalb sculptor Bruce White’s “Fractal Limits,” during a committee meeting on June 7.

BATAVIA – Everybody’s an art critic.

Batavia city aldermen got their chance to judge artwork when they selected from among more than a dozen submissions for the third sculpture to adorn the Wilson Street bridge.

Using a secret ballot, aldermen picked DeKalb sculptor Bruce White’s “Fractal Limits” during a committee meeting on June 7.

Since the 2008 reconstruction of the bridge – known formally as the William J. Donovan Bridge – two sculptures have been installed on concrete pedestals.

The idea was always to have four sculptures, with the themes of “Nature,” “History,” “Science” and “Art.” The nature sculpture depicting cattails is called “Sounds of Harmony,” while the history sculpture, “A Look Back,” is of a Native American standing before a windmill.

White’s ode to fractals will be the city’s homage to science.

A fractal is a curve or geometric structure that exhibits a repeating pattern that is

the same at larger or smaller scales, such as a snowflake.

Aldermen directed the city staff to work out a contract with White to provide the sculpture. The city has budgeted $30,000 in tax-increment financing district money to pay for the work.

The city received 24 proposals. Sculptor and Elgin Community College professor Howard Russo of St. Charles reviewed the submissions, eliminating some and ranking the others.

In the end, aldermen picked Russo’s top-ranked selection from White.

“He clearly has the craftsmanship to produce a quality piece of art for your city,” Russo said of White in his written report to the council.

Some of the artists who made submissions are familiar to Fox Valley residents, including Joe Gagnepain of Batavia and Guy Bellaver of St. Charles Aldermen also decided to put out the call for submissions for the final art-themed sculpture.

The bulldog sculptures that have been temporarily sitting atop the remaining two pedestals are to be relocated, Mayor Jeff Schielke said, possibly to the Batavia Riverwalk.

Did you know that of cancers affecting both men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer? But this is one cancer you can prevent.

Screening tests help find polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.

So, if you’re 50 or older, get screened for colorectal cancer.

Screening really does save lives!

Elgin Community College was selected for the Career Preparedness Award based on such student success indicators as retention, graduation and four-year transfer rates, the release stated.

Other selection factors included the college’s strength of relationships with local employers and high schools; accessibility of career readiness assessments and career preparation programs; and the support structure for students, the release added.

ECC was honored for its Alliance for College Readiness partnership, which prepares high school students for college, the release stated. It indicated the college was also recognized

“By building on its partnership with Achieving the Dream, which assists community colleges in prioritizing improvements and tracking results, Elgin Community College is beating the odds,” the release stated, quoting ACT. “The college is retaining and graduating its students at rates far higher than the national averages for community colleges.”

ECC will learn whether it was selected as a National Exemplar during the ACT National Gala on College and Career Readiness in June, the release stated.

“Opportunity is knocking…”

I’ll be honest with you I have always been a planner and my best decisions have always been after careful consideration and a great deal of thought. So, when it came time to think about retirement I used this same approach. I knew all about Oak Crest and even had some experience when seventeen years ago my husband Bill spent his last days in the capable and caring hands of the Oak Crest nursing staff. I was so impressed that I knew then and there that when the time came I would make my own home at Oak Crest. So, I had the easy part done. I knew where I wanted to be, I just had to decide the when. Keep in mind that in my planning the Margie M big move was still a couple of years in the distance. Well, as fate would have it I decided to take some time oulton when my children were home to stop in for a visit. Call it fate or divine intervention but on that day the perfect apartment, in the best location with the loveliest view had just become available. It was at that moment I just knew that opportunity was knocking and I didn’t want to miss out. My advice to you is that if you already know the where; then the when could be right now! There really is no better time than today to see all that Oak Crest has to offer.

I have photographed a lot of baseball so far this spring, and I have to say my favorite game so far was when dozens of Kane County Cougars players joined clients of Marklund at Mill Creek near Geneva on their Miracle League field.

The Cougars players, joined by mascots Ozzie T. Cougar and Baxter of the Arizona Diamondbacks, took such great care of their Marklund teammates and partners. It really showed that they are not only great players but also wonderful people and community members.

I’m not sure who enjoyed themselves more – the Cougars players, the Marklund players or me.

Pictured is Kane County Cougars outfielder Zach Nehriri helping Marklund at Mill Creek client Robbie R. go to first base. The Kane County Chronicle adheres to the Marklund policy of not using clients’ full last names.

A male red-winged blackbird defends his territory from atop a redbud tree near the Hickory Knolls Discovery Center in St. Charles.

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto you’ll start to get an idea of what’s going on inside a male redwing’s head.

As the weeks pass by, the females build their nests and lay their eggs.

After about 13 days, maybe a little less, the eggs hatch, and the male’s behavior ratchets up another notch. Besides his multiple mates, he now also has to protect what he perceives as his many offspring. (Another fun fact: Even though a male redwing’s territory may contain as many as 15 females, the young might not all be his. Female redwings may mate with nearby males as well.)

Defensive behavior hits its peak about two weeks after the eggs hatch, when the young start to fledge. Inexperienced at life, and with wings that don’t yet work all that well, juvenile redwings need lots of protection.

Females join the male in his defense of the territory, and things just get downright nuts – from our human perspective. The birds, it seems, are divebombing everyone who comes within striking distance.

Ah, but that is the time to refer back to the advice at the beginning of this column. Any time you find yourself walking near redwing habitat, be alert and you will beat them at their own game.

The birds rarely approach without first making some sort of warning

sound. Their repertoire includes a scolding “chak,” a “tjeet” and even a whistly rattle. (If you’d like to familiarize yourself with these calls without actually going near the birds, listen to the recordings on the redwinged blackbird page of Cornells’ excellent www.allaboutbirds.org.)

Once you hear the sound, find where it’s coming from. Look in the direction of the call and you’ll likely see a male redwing, perched in a prominent spot. Keep your eyes on him as you pass by and, voila! No attack.

These birds are determined, for sure, but they’re not stupid. They know full well that if they were to fly into the face of a threat, whether human, feline or otherwise, there’s a good chance they wouldn’t survive. A swipe of a hand, or paw, and it would be bye-bye birdie.

Lately we’ve had a chance to refine our stare-’em-down techniques right here at Hickory Knolls Discovery Center.

If you’ve ever visited, you know our rain gardens and spring-fed stream have created several large pockets of prime redwing habitat. One male in particular has claimed the area near the service drive. He’s making sure we know it’s his, not ours – at least in his mind.

The first time he buzzed me, I’ll admit, he took me by surprise. But that’s because I wasn’t paying attention.

Redwing 1, Human 0.

Next time, I was ready. I listened. I stared. And then I watched as he flew

over me, a good 10 feet or so above my head. Redwing 1, Human 1.

Another day, I thought I’d see what would happen if I upped my investment in the game. I stopped, stared, pointed and said, somewhat menacingly, “I see you there, Buddy Boy!” That, friends, was the wrong thing to do. While the bird didn’t dive, I could tell he had become even more agitated. Red epaulets flaring, he flew back and forth above the driveway.

Below him, I swayed and spun and tried to maintain eye contact. The encounter left us both a little tuckered; the outcome, a draw.

These days I keep my gestures to myself. I appear, he flares. I stare, he deflects. A mate or three may occasionally join in, but they don’t come near enough to cause alarm.

We’ll continue our little sport for as long as the birds deem necessary. I’d imagine, though, that it won’t be too much longer and the stakes will decrease. The offspring will be self-sufficient, the hormones will have subsided, and peace will return to the land.

For a few months. Then we can begin the countdown to Red-winged Blackbird Season 2017.

Every year about this time, certain wild neighbors start making headlines. Their behavior gets labeled aggressive, and people start calling them jerks – or worse.

Inevitably, someone will make an analogy to Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds,” and then all heck breaks loose. “It tried to peck my eyes out!” someone will cry. “Scared the living [daylights] outta me!” someone else will exclaim. “I’m not going outside again until they’re gone,” I heard one individual say.

No doubt about it, the 2016 Redwinged Blackbird Season is underway.

For several years now we’ve fielded calls about how to deal with these jokers. Each time, we offer the same advice: Listen for their calls, find where they’re perched and stare them down.

Redwings are bold, for sure, and bent on defending their territory. But they will not fly toward eyes. More on this later. First, let’s take a look at why redwings are wired the way they are.

During the cold-weather months, these flamboyant birds really do play well with others. They join with assorted blackbird species and form flocks of hundreds or even thousands.

They migrate short distances in search of grain fields and other sources of seeds, the primary component of their nonbreeding diet.

But as winter draws to a close, things begin to change – and fast. Male redwings break out first, leaving the flocks and returning to their breeding grounds when there’s still snow in the air. They begin singing their reedy konk-a-reee songs as a means of declaring whose territory is whose.

While there may be some sparring between individuals, the testosterone-charged birds at this stage pretty much keep to themselves.

It’s not long though before the males escalate their behavior. As female redwings begin to appear, each male has to defend his territory and his mates, which can number from two on up to 15.

That’s right, redwings are polygynous – one male mates with several females. (Fun fact: Of 278 breeding songbird species in North America, 15 are polygynous; of these, 11 live in marshes or grasslands.)

For a little perspective, think back to antics you may have witnessed by another common bird, the American robin. Males and females of this monogamous species both have been known to beat themselves silly as they try to outcompete their reflection in a window. Now imagine that drive times anywhere from two to 15, and

Better read this if you own a home in the U.S. and were born before 1954.

It’s a well-known fact that for many senior citizens in the U.S. their home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 50% of their total net worth.

Yet, according to new data from the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 5 trillion dollars of unused home equity.1 With people now living longer than ever before and home prices back up again, ignoring this “hidden wealth� may prove to be short sighted.

All things considered, it’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage or “HECM� (more commonly known today as a reverse mortgage loan) to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement.

However, today, there are still millions of eligible homeowners who could benefit from this FHAinsured loan but may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret.�

Some homeowners think HECM loans sound “too good to be true.� After all, you get the cash you need out of your home but you have no more monthly mortgage payments.

NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS?2 EXTRA CASH?

It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage payments are required with a reverse mortgage loan;2 the homeowners only have to pay for maintenance, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.

Another fact many are not aware of is that HECM reverse mortgages f irst took hold when President Reagan signed the FHA Reverse Mortgage Bill into law 28 years ago in order to help senior citizens remain in their homes.

Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy their retirement.

Although today’s HECM reverse mortgages have been improved to provide even greater financial protection for homeowners, there are still many misconceptions.

For example, a lot of people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a HECM reverse mortgage loan, which is not the case. In fact, one key benefit of a HECM is that it automatically pays off your existing mortgage, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for seniors living on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many senior homeowners who could benefit from a HECM loan don’t even bother to get more information because of rumors they’ve heard.

FACT: In 1988, President Reagan signed the FHA Reverse Mortgage bill into law.

That’s a shame because HECM reverse mortgages are helping many senior homeowners live a better life.

In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one HECM lender, found that over 90% of their clients are satisfied with their reverse mortgages.

While these special loans are not for everyone, they can be a real lifesaver for senior homeowners like Betty Carter, who recently took out a HECM loan with AAG so that she could finally get the extra cash she needed to fix up her house. “With the help of AAG, I have been able to repair my home’s foundation that I had been putting off for several years, refinish the hardwood floors, paint the interior and will have the exterior painted within a few days. My house is starting to look like my home again and it feels good,� says Carter.

The cash from a HECM loan can be used for any worthwhile purpose. Many people use the money to save on interest charges by paying off credit cards or other high-interest loans. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills or helping other family members. Some people need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others simply use it as a “safety net� for financial emergencies.

If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more so that you can make an informed decision. Homeowners who are interested in learning more can request a free 2016 HECM Reverse Mortgage Information Kit and free Educational DVD by calling American Advisors Group toll-free at 1-800-820-5086.

At no cost or obligation, the professionals at AAG can help you find out if you qualify and also answer common questions such as: 1. What is the government’s role?

2. How much money might I get?

3. Who owns the home after I take out a HECM loan?

You may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover when you call AAG for more information today.

The aggregate value of homes owned by seniors increased their share of home equity to $5.76 trillion according to the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association. Source: http://reversemortgagedaily.com/2015/12/27/u-s-seniors-home-equity-rockets-to-5-76-trillion/. 2If you qualify and your loan is approved, a HECM Reverse Mortgage must pay off your existing mortgage(s). With a HECM/Reverse Mortgage, no monthly mortgage payment is required. A reverse mortgage increases the principal mortgage loan amount and decreases home equity

request for a reverse mortgage, AAG may forward your contact information to such lenders for your consideration of reverse mortgage programs that they offer. Borrowers are responsible for paying property taxes and homeowner’s insurance (which may be substantial). We do not establish an escrow account for disbursements of these payments. A set-aside account can be set up to pay taxes and insurance and may be required in some cases. Borrowers must occupy home as their primary residence and pay for ongoing maintenance; otherwise the loan becomes due and payable. The loan also becomes due and payable when the last borrower, or eligible non-borrowing surviving spouse, dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, defaults on taxes or insurance payments, or does not otherwise comply with the loan terms.

Store to continue online sales during relocation

ST. CHARLES – Joyce Escalante plopped down several skeins of cranberry red yarn on the counter at Wool & Co. in St. Charles and said she would knit her husband a vest.

“I’m going to miss her,” Escalante, of St. Charles, said of store owner Lesley Edmondson. “I love the shop.”

Edmondson said she is closing the store at 107 W. State St. in St. Charles in August and September, then reopening in another location with a more limited physical presence.

Edmondson sent an email announcement to her customers with the news.

“We will certainly continue online sales and will most probably add some classes and opening hours – but all that is yet to be decided,” Edmondson’s announcement stated.

Edmondson, who is originally from England, said she had worked for Arthur Andersen before she opened Wool & Co. 16 years ago. The store was first on Third Street in St. Charles and then on Third Street in Geneva, before the last six years on State Street at its current location.

As its name implies, Wool & Co. sells all types of yarn and items used in knitting and crocheting, as well as objets d’art and gifts. It also hosts classes.

The racks are full of imported yarns and include every fiber imaginable – including wool,

AutoZone expects to open location in Elburn, possibly Sugar Grove

By SUSAN O’NEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com It’s hard to miss the construction site along Route 47 in Elburn, in front of the Jewel and to the north of the Dunkin’ Donuts. The site will soon be home to a 6,000-square-foot AutoZone.

“They’re hoping to be open this summer,” said Erin Willrett, Elburn village administrator.

There are more than 5,000 AutoZone locations in 48 states, as well as 440 stores in Mexico, 20 in Puerto Rico and seven in Brazil, according to the AutoZone website.

AutoZone, which opened in 1979 under the name Auto Shack, sells hard parts, such as alternators, engines and batteries; maintenance items, such as motor oil and antifreeze; and accessories, such as car stereos and floor mats

for do-it-yourself mechanics.

Its commercial sales program distributes parts and other products to garages, dealerships and other businesses.

The current work force is made up of more than 65,000 employees. Willrett said the company is currently in the process of staffing the Elburn store.

“We’re certainly excited to welcome another business in town,” she said.

Meanwhile, AutoZone is

also considering building a store in Sugar Grove.

“We’re still working with them on site plans,” said Sean Michels, Sugar Grove village president.

Describing the architectural modifications the village is asking for as “nothing major,” Michels said he met on June 1 with representatives of the company’s civil engineering firm and its architectural firm to discuss the changes.

The Sugar Grove site is located on the east side of Route 47, in front of the Jewel-Osco and south of Chase Bank.

Michels said he doesn’t know whether AutoZone has bought the property yet, but that they have already invested quite a bit in the planning for the store there.

“It seems to be a pretty competitive market,” he said.

“They want to get here before their competitors do.”

time with my family,” Edmondson said. “The yarn store business has kind of changed over the last five years. The internet plays a huge factor – people buy online a lot more.

And a lot of our vendors sell direct now. The magazines now have kits you can order.

That never used to happen.

It used to be you bought your yarn here or one of the big-box stores. Or maybe you went to one [fiber arts] show. But now there’s a [fiber arts] show somewhere pretty much every month.”

Her goal is to have the store completely empty by the end of July, so toward the end most yarns are 40 percent off, Edmondson said.

“I loved this space, so I hope somebody wonderful picks it up,” Edmondson said.

Perennials SPONSORED BY

By C.R. Walker Chances are that you have perennials in your yard. If not, then you certainly should consider adding some, as they’re the type of plants and flowers that conveniently grow back every year. Plus, with so many different offerings, perennials truly can help complete your landscaping and gardening.

Unlike annuals, which only live for one year, perennials come back year after year.

Rather than having to plant every spring, when electing to plant perennials you only have to plant once and then get to enjoy your plants and flowers every ensuing year. In addition, not all perennials bloom at the same time so your garden can become an even better attraction with a different appearance at various times throughout the year.

The experts at Wasco Nursery & Garden Center can help you find perennials that can help fill your garden for the better. They can offer recommendations on the types of perennials that may be most appropriate for your particular landscaping and gardening needs, SM-CL0362695

as well as share advice on how to care for them.

Perennials are rugged so even the most novice of gardeners should be able to add them to their garden successfully. They also offer an incredible amount of diversity so the selection is seemingly almost limitless. Color and form, bloom time, size and texture, as well as light and soil requirements vary.

The fine staff at Wasco Nursery can assist you while you’re shopping for perennials so that those you choose are ones that thrive in your garden and deliver the finished effect that you are looking to achieve.

Some of the more popular perennials include Allium, Aromatic aster, Artemisia, Astilbe, Bee Balm, Black-eyed Susans, Bleeding heart, Butterfly weed, Coneflowers, Coral bells, Coreopsis, Daylillies, Garden Peony, Goldenrod, Hardy geraniums, Hibiscus, Hollyhock, Hostas, Lenten rose, Panicle hydrangeas, Peonies, Phlox, Russian sage, Salvia, Sedums, Stonecrop, Virginia bluebells and Yarrow.

Colonial Cafe celebrates summer with ice cream and fun!

SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese The Summer Festival season is gearing up, and Colonial Cafe is ready! From ice creameating contests to touch-a-truck events, parades, and more, Colonial will participate in approximately 75 events during the summer months around the Fox Valley. Their famous Kitchen Sink truck is in high demand, and can be found throughout the area supporting community events like Concerts in the Park, Art Festivals, and fundraisers like Relay for Life and Living Well Bridge Walk.

Debuting in 2012, the Kitchen Sink truck stands at just under 14’ tall, bringing the famous Kitchen Sink ice cream sundae to larger-than-life proportions! With six scoops of ice cream, three toppings, two bananas, whipped cream and a cherry, the Kitchen Sink is a delight to all.

Celebrating 40 years, the Kitchen Sink truck will be visiting Fox Valley communities

all summer long. Be sure to wave - they’re always happy to stop for a photo! #kitchensinktruck.

Another special summer tradition from Colonial Cafe is their ice cream-eating contests. A well-trained summer staff hosts the events, which are open to all ages. Several heats of contestants within each age group will have 1 minute to eat as much Colonial ice cream as possible. Starting with a 4 oz cup of ice cream and a spoon, once a contestant finishes their first cup they raise their hand and receive another cup. Whoever eats the most cups wins - but of course, everyone is a winner! 1st place = Kitchen Sink certificate; 2nd = Turtle Sundae certificate; 3rd = Hot Fudge Sundae certificate, and everyone else wins a small sundae for participating.

Also, look for Colonial’s Spin Wheel to try for prizes ranging from a free entree, ice cream coupons, Kitchen Sink tattoos, or a mini toy cow!

For a summer event schedule, and an update of where to find the Kitchen Sink truck or the next ice cream-eating contest, visit www.colonialcafe.com.

Dental care for seniors SPONSORED BY

By C.R. Walker While physical and mental health may get the most attention when it comes to the health and well being of seniors, oral health is something that can’t be taken for granted.

Did you know that the risks for heart disease and diabetes could increase for seniors who have poor oral health?

Unfortunately, funding for oral health is lacking which makes a good percentage of the elderly especially vulnerable.

Medicaid funds dental care for low income and disabled elderly in some states, but reimbursements are quite low, while Medicare was not established to provide routine dental care. Because of this, many seniors don’t have dental insurance and don’t seek professional medical care to ensure that they’re properly receiving the oral healthcare they require.

In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that

Advanced Technology Allows Many To See Better or Drive Again

1 in every 4 seniors over 60 no longer has natural teeth. This has resulted in many seniors wearing dentures which can also affect physical health since some people avoid foods that are more difficult to chew, including healthy fresh fruit and vegetables.

Gum disease also increases with age.

CDC reports that approximately 23 percent of those between 65 and 74 years of age have periodontal (gum) disease.

Being proactive and doing the best one can do can go a long way to maintaining and improving oral health. It’s suggested that seniors continue with their regular dental visits even if they wear dentures because the gums are just as important as teeth. Seniors should always brush twice a day while using toothpaste that also contains fluoride. Flossing should also be implemented as a routine after brushing.

Seniors should be careful when consuming sugary items, such as candy, soft drinks and starch-filled snacks, and should always brush after eating or drinking.

Avoiding tobacco and drinking fluoridated water are also highly recommended.

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.

His subject was history and social studies, which reflected sustained interests in diverse culture and increasing our understanding so as to improve the relations between people.

In lieu of flowers, he would have wanted to be remembered through your own ongoing gestures and statements of love and appreciation for the dear ones in your lives.

He served on the Boards of Directors for various historical societies. Additionally he also served in different capacities on the boards of several Unitarian Churches. Henry received numerous awards from various organizations including for his service on the Governor’s Forestry Council for the State of Wisconsin.

Henry was a true renaissance man. His many interests included reading, music (especially opera and violin music), hunting, fishing, wood carving and world travel. For many years he and his wife Jean were well known antiques dealers. He also loved his cats and dogs and his Cubs and Bears.

Henry will be dearly missed.

MARGARET LILA SHAFFER (1922-2016)

Margaret Lila “Marge” Shaffer (née Byers) was born on January 12, 1922 in Galesburg, Illinois to Glenn Byers and Rachel Mae Byers (née Quick). She had two siblings, Raymond and Richard Byers.

She attended high school in the city.

Marge met Clyde Allen Shaffer in Chicago and were married on Valentine’s Day, 1939.

They had one daughter, Betty Ann, who was born while they were living on the north side of Chicago. Marge loved living in the city near Lake Michigan and Wrigley Field.

The family moved to suburban Downers Grove in the mid-1950s. Marge was an extremely intelligent woman and a talented writer for the Downer’s Grove Reporter. As personal computers and the like became more popular, Marge enjoyed staying up to date on the developing technologies. She especially enjoyed spending time with her grandson, Keith, building small projects including his very first radio crystal set.

She also loved spending time with her great-grandchildren, Margaret and Lauren.

Marge had a passion for helping people and loved to donate her time to any cause that needed it. She could often be found at the Kids Golf Foundation volunteering to assist the staff. While living at the Holmstad Covenant Retirement Community, she quickly became the go-to person for helping the other residents with their iPads. As new residents would arrive at Holmstad, Marge would write biographies on the newcomers

to introduce them to the Community.

She was loved by all who knew her and will be deeply missed.

Marge is survived by her son-in-law, Jerry Rich; grandson, Keith Rich, and great-grandchildren, Margaret Ann and Lauren Margarete Rich.

In addition to her parents, Marge was preceded in death by her husband, Clyde Shaffer and her daughter Betty Ann Rich.

A private family service will take place at Rich Harvest Farm The Healy Chapel Family Owned Since 1891

Geneva High School alumna Nicki Turnbull is opening Gym Chic, a store specializing in athletic apparel, on First Street in downtown St. Charles.

ST. CHARLES – Nicki Turnbull knows the positive effect gym clothes can have on a workout.

Clothing that makes you feel good about yourself might serve as motivation for longer workouts, the 24-yearold said.

Turnbull, a 2010 Geneva High School graduate, hopes to provide women with that extra sense of confidence through her new athletic apparel store in downtown St. Charles, Gym Chic.

Gym Chic – which carries a range of sizes, as well as accessories such as yoga mats and headbands – is taking over the First Street spot once occupied by JP Jewelers. The jewelry store closed after the winter holiday season.

Turnbull planned to open Gym Chic, 151 S. First St., during the first week of June. Its hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday. It is closed Monday.

Turnbull, who previously worked in sales, said she always wanted to

own a business, so when everything for Gym Chic – the lease, the finances – fell into place, she capitalized on the opportunity.

She said she received assistance from SCORE, which offers free and confidential small-business advice for entrepreneurs and small businesses.

Her mentors have helped her with such areas as accounting, taxes and business registration, she said.

“That resource has been a tremendous help getting started,” Turnbull said.

Being on First Street is exciting with the construction happening across the street, Turnbull said. She also likes being sandwiched between Jeans and a Cute Top Shop and Magnolia Bridal, she said, noting they can refer customers to each other since they aren’t competitors.

“What a great space,” Turnbull said.

Although the store initially is focusing on women’s apparel, Turnbull said she hasn’t ruled out a future expansion to men’s clothing.

Contact Gym Chic at shopgymchic@gmail.com or 630-338-6092.

IS YOUR CENTRAL VISION BLURRY OR CROOKED?

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.

The boys and Scoutmasters of Troop 60, based in St. Charles, carry a 30-by-50-foot American flag in last year’s Swedish Days Parade in Geneva. The troop could not borrow the flag from its owner this year, so members and supporters raised $1,100 and bought one so they can carry it in this year’s parade.

Scouts to carry large flag in Swedish Days Parade

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – When the Swedish Days Parade steps off at 1 p.m. June 26, the boys of Boy Scout Troop 60 will be carrying a 30-by-50-foot American flag.

The 40-pound flag is so large it takes 75 to 80 boys to carry it, said Dan Brewster, one of the Scoutmasters.

The large flag they had used in previous Swedish Days parades was lent to them – but this year the flag was misplaced and would not available for the parade, Geneva Chamber of Commerce spokeswoman Laura Rush said.

“These [large] flags are expensive, and we didn’t have the money to buy one,” Rush said. “I had suggested that they still march and carry little flags … but [Brewster] was not going to have any of that.”

Brewster of St. Charles said he sent out a fundraising email to 130 people and – within hours – he had raised $1,100, enough to buy the large flag, which cost $1,097 exactly.

“We like doing this,” Brewster said of carrying the large flag in parades.

“This is a very patriotic thing to do.

People come to see the flag, and it’s a big part of that parade. One of the goals of the Boy Scouts is citizenship training. What better way to infuse the love of our country than having them participate in a parade like this?”

Brewster said he bought a nylon flag from Flag Outpost, a company based in Massachusetts, ordering it online – and making sure it was made in America.

Did you know that of cancers affecting both men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer? But this is one cancer you can prevent. Get screened!

Screening tests help find polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.

So, if you’re 50 or older, do everything you can to prevent colorectal cancer. Screening really does save lives!

Here’s my experience taking a 3-week class College is all about trying new things, right? So taking a three-week accelerated English course was nothing but new to me. I never would have thought I’d ever take any accelerated course in college for obvious reasons (it seemed like so much work). Yet after just completing this class nearly two weeks ago, I thought I’d share my opinions on the entire experience. It initially sounded painful, but it was surprisingly a class that I enjoyed very much.

For those of you unaware of what an accelerated college class is, let me break this madness down. A normal college class lasts an entire semester, 16 weeks. During this time, most classes meet twice a week for about an hour and 15 minutes on both days. My accelerated class was Monday through Friday and lasted three hours from eight in the morning until 11. I did this for three weeks, and I’m alive!

BEFORE THE DIPLOMA Denise Cartina I survived this class for a variety of reasons. The class was taught by my favorite teacher (this was my third class of his that I took). I probably would have stared out the window at the angry honking geese and twirled my pencil around in boredom in any other class but his. It also helped that my friend sat right next to me. We chatted the entire time (my teacher loved us, so he didn’t mind), and we encouraged each other to write our papers when we had no motivation to do so. Every day we would drive to class together and blast energetic pop songs to wake us up. Coffee also became my best friend. Lots and lots of coffee.

In the class, I wrote three papers

and completed a portfolio of all my work. For those three weeks, I spent my nights researching articles and writing until I physically could not type a coherent sentence or think properly. My life was going to class, going to work and then coming home from work only to do more work for my English class. If you do not have determination and time to kill working on homework, then a three-week class will be complete torture. While my friends were outside in the nice summer weather, I was locked inside my house researching and smashing my head against my laptop’s keyboard.

So what did I learn from taking this course? Procrastination simply wasn’t an option in this class, since I wrote rough drafts of my papers and then turned them in within days of each other. I discovered I can write 10-page papers under strict time limits, and I

What’s happening to Batavia? We see now the city wants to demolish a historic landmark in Batavia, the First Baptist Church building. Just think of all the good that church did through its many worthwhile contributions.

Also, all the famous Batavians that were members, such as founding fathers of Batavia, mayors, citizens of the year, clergy and other Batavians.

Seems like the city only wants TIF districts, issuing liquor licenses, etc.

Let’s appreciate what we have and still have for the future citizens of Batavia.

Interesting, don’t you think?

Two very interesting things. One, the federal government can’t understand why Chicago has a very high crime rate, such a steep increase in crime. Well, I can give you a couple of reasons. No. 1, if the laws don’t mean anything, then people aren’t going to obey them. I’m talking specifically about immigration law, which Chicago is a sanctuary city.

And if you look at the demographics of who’s committing these crimes, a lot of them are Hispanic, a lot of them are black, and most of them are gangbangers. And that doesn’t mean that there aren’t white people committing crimes; it’s just that if you look at the percentage of population, and you look at the

know this skill will help me throughout college and in my future career.

Anyone can succeed in a three-week English course if one knows how to manage one’s time wisely, do one’s research thoroughly and write properly.

If I ever have the chance to take another three-week class, I won’t absolutely be opposed to it. English classes have always been a breeze for me, so going into this class I knew I’d do fine.

Now if you ask me to take a three-week math or science class, that’s never going to happen.

percentage of illegal immigrants or the percentage of immigrants, and you look at the percentages of crime, you have a correlation. If you want to put blinders on and say it’s not there, fine, do that.

The other interesting thing is looking at the foreign exchange rate. I find it kind of interesting that almost every time I’ve looked in the paper at what the value of a U.S. dollar is compared to the value of money in other countries, that the British pound, the euro and the Swiss franc are invariably valued higher than the dollar. Meaning that if you took a dollar into an exchange place, you would get, in the case of the British pound, you would get 68 cents. In the case of the euro, you’d get 88 cents for your dollar. And in the case of the Swiss franc, which is the closest, you’d get 97 cents per dollar. All the other countries [the dollar is higher], even the ... Israelis and the Canadians. The Canadians would give you $1.29, and the Israelis would give you $3.84. Interesting, don’t you think?

OUR VIEW

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Our self-destructive nature buys pop, not popcorn I’m in a checkout line at a big-box store that carries groceries, dry goods and a walk-up Starbucks. The cashier begins to bag my purchases. She’s either a rookie or obsessive-compulsive because a package of turkey sausages and a container of hummus get separate bags and a carousel spin.

I’ve already requested she “fill the bags pretty full” to cut down the amount of plastic used; climate change is real, but, frankly, a flooded Florida shoreline isn’t motivation enough to push a cashier into loading my stuff into an armload of tote bags. So when the sausages and hummus pass by a third time, I grab the hummus and drop it in with the sausages.

“Consolidating,” I explain.

“Thank you!” she exclaims, delighted as a princess with the wicked witch’s curse lifted.

My concern resolved, I glance at the neighboring checkout line.

A portly middle-aged couple in T-shirts and shorts waits expectantly for their goods to beep through.

First up, eight-packs of original Coke and Mountain Dew, which the husband flings onto the cart’s bottom rack. Their first white, translucent bag reveals cardboard dinners stacked like bricks, a

RIVER TOWN CHRONICLES Rick Holinger week’s worth of processed meats, inorganic veggies and comfort carbs. And salt. Lots of salt. Next, half-gallons of ice cream, followed by pregnant “family size” bags of potato chips.

So there we have it: drinks, hors d’oeuvre, entrée and dessert.

“All that sugar and caffeine!” I muse silently, myself a recovering low-protein, high-calorie, gluten-glutted junkie.

“There but for the grace of God go I,” I reflect, imagining myself couched in front of “Die Hard 16: Nuclear Knuckle Knockout,” guzzling a Coke between handfuls of chips while waiting for the microwave to ding and anticipating a triple scoop of Sinful Chocolate Brownie Marshmallow Bear Tracks Delight.

Not that I’m thin, or even fit.

That scenario faded with the onset of children, when time to run, bike and swim laps disappeared faster than light down a black hole. Nor am I the perfect nutritional eater; a napkin-covered basket of warm, homemade bread arrives at a restaurant table, my

belly fat starts quivering with excitement.

Today, however, my cart carries wild herring in wine sauce; raw veggies; plain, nonfat yogurt; low-fat and sodium popcorn; fruit galore; salad stuff; high-fiber cereal; and peanut butter to satisfy cravings for sweets. Their cart carries strokes, cancers, heart attacks and high blood pressure.

The contrast makes me chuckle.

Not just because they’ve picked out the fatty, sugary, greasy garbage a 6-year-old who’s locked the baby sitter in the basement would eat. This dark, cynical laughter rises up as well from disgust – disgust in the part of America that’s caved, capitulated to its base instincts. “To hell with restraint!” this crowd crows. “I’ll eat whatever I want, no matter how sick it’ll make me.”

Rather like people who support and endorse the presumptive Republican presidential candidate: They don’t really care what happens to our country, just as long as their primal urges get fed.

Therapy dogs comfort people of all ages

Therapy dogs are becoming increasingly popular in hospitals, schools, nursing homes and even libraries – but are the programs well-attended? Can dogs really help put people at ease?

The answer, it seems, is yes.

An article on www.kcchronicle.com this week features the Sugar Grove Public Library’s Read to Rover program, which connects grade school-age children with trained canines from the Fox Valley Therapy Dog Club​. The program has become such a success in Sugar Grove that the library is now hosting the therapy dogs on a monthly basis.

By reading aloud to therapy dogs, children are able to develop their reading – and even speaking skills – in a no-pressure environment.

“It’s a relaxed way to read,” said Amy Beem, Sugar Grove Public Library youth coordinator.

“The dogs aren’t going to criticize.”

We think programs such as Read to Rover are especially important during the summer months, so that children are on track with their reading skills when they return to school in the fall.

We also encourage area residents to learn a bit more about the Fox Valley Therapy Dog Club, which is completely volunteer-driven. More than 70 club members and their therapy dogs have served Kane, Kendall and DuPage counties since 2002, according to the club’s website.

Beyond serving as reading buddies, therapy dogs can assist patients in physical rehabilitation facilities by allowing patients to brush them or by retrieving a ball that’s thrown to them.

Fox Valley Therapy Dog Club dogs help relieve stress and provide comfort, as well as social stimulation. The dogs listen quietly as children practice their reading skills, and can also teach bite prevention and safe dog care to young ones, the website stated.

What’s great about these community programs is that they allow families who can’t own dogs for various reasons to experience the companionship of a highly trained dog – even if it’s just for an hour. Families are able to learn more about responsible dog ownership and ask critical questions about training.

Anyone can join the Fox Valley Therapy Dog Club after completing a multistep observation, mentoring, training and evaluation process.

Club meetings and practice sessions are ongoing. Visit www.fvtherapydogs.org for more information.

Call your local library to see whether therapy dog reading programs are offered this summer.

Thank you, Fox Valley Therapy Dog Club volunteers, for sharing your furry friends with the community and putting smiles on countless faces.

A poem by Karin Frederick of St. Charles An early summer day arose And broke my slumber’s sweet repose.

Outside my window sang the birds In choruses, duets and thirds.

Long before the sun does shine Above the horizontal line That separates the trees I see From those too far away from me.

The dissonance of robin sounds, Chirps at first, and then abounds Communicating calls and trills Bouncing off my windowsills.

Too awake, I cannot sleep, So out of bed I’m sure to creep And deeply breathe the morning air That promises a day so fair.

The morning sounds the birds do ply Are slowing as the sun climbs high, And decrescendoing their songs For those of us who’ll move along

To start our busy summer day Bestirred by birds of song and prey.

I could not do it otherwise.

This sweet alarm is how I rise.

Legend says the two-part bridal cup was created in the 1700s to win a bride. A nobleman in Germany was upset when his daughter refused her rich suitors because she wanted to marry a goldsmith. Her father imprisoned the goldsmith and his daughter became ill because she was denied her true love. The nobleman thought he could trick the daughter by agreeing to the marriage if the goldsmith could do an impossible task make a cup that two people can drink from at the same time without spilling a drop. But the clever and talented goldsmith made a silver figure of the girl. Her skirt was hollow so it could be used as a cup. Her raised arms held a small swinging cup. Both of the lovers could drink from the cups at the same time.

Today, the wedding cup symbolizes love, faithfulness and good luck for the bridal couple that drinks from it. An antique German cup marked with a British import mark for 1908 was sold by New Orleans Auctions in 2015 for $522. To get a cup for a bride to use today, check antique sales and shops. A number are sold each year and there are even new ones available. *** Q: I have a Worley Water Waver. It’s a device for curling or waving ladies’ hair that was invented by my Grandad in 1926. I also have the original patent that was issued to him in 1927. Hair could be curled in a “Marcel” wave, a popular style of the day, by pressing it against the wavy surface of the steel chamber that held hot water. It was a forerunner of the modern curling iron. But not many were made because the financial backers of the project went under with the stock market crash. After the crash, my Grandfather moved from the northeast to Florida-and with a supply of the wavers, which he sold as he traveled down the highways. The cords were removed because they were sold to women on farms where electricity wasn’t very common, but putting hot water in the chamber still curled the hair!

I’m curious to know if it has any value other

than sentimental.

A: There aren’t many Worley Water Wavers around, but there was one listed in an online shop for $75. There is a similar device, called the West Electric Water Waver, also from the 1920s that could be used to curl or wave hair, which sold for about $25. Your waver may be worth a bit more than $75 because you have the original box and patent document. A local history museum or a collector who specializes in kitchen or cosmetic appliances might be interested in your waver, as well as your grandfather’s story. *** Q: I have a felt doll with a painted face and mohair wig. She’s wearing a Spanish dancer’s costume and is about 12 inches tall. She has a gold tag that reads “Klumpe, Patentado, Barcelona.”What is the doll worth?

A: Klumpe is one of several companies in Barcelona that made molded felt dolls dressed in Spanish costumes for the tourist trade in Spain from 1952 until the 1970s. The felt is molded over wire, making the dolls posable.

Effanbee and other companies imported the dolls into the U. S. Dolls made before the mid1960s are of better quality that those made later. Dolls with accessories sell for more than those without. Klumpe and Roldan are two makers collectors look for. The dolls are not very popular with collectors. They sell for about $10-$20. *** Q: I’ve been collecting old books and magazines for many years. Some are “The New Peerless World Atlas” from 1918, “Frye’s Complete Geography” from 1898, old “Look,” “Life,” and other magazines. Are they more valuable intact, or should I remove the maps from the atlases and the covers and ads from the magazines and sell them individually?

A: Old books don’t sell well unless they are first editions or are rare and there isn’t much interest in old magazines. Keep them intact and take them to a used book store to see what you can get for them. They may not be interested in the magazines, but will give you a price for the books. Expect to get half the price

they will sell them for. You might be able to sell interesting ads that are framed, but check online to see what kind are selling. *** Q: We have a cameo glass vase signed La Rochere and would like to know something about the maker.

A: La Rochere is a French company that has been in business since 1475, when Simon de Thysac was granted permission to build a glassworks at “Les Rochiers,” in the Franche-Comte region in eastern France. La Rochere is the oldest glassworks in Europe.

It became Cristallerie de La Rochere in 1960.

The company makes both mouth-blown and machine-made glass and is a popular tourist destination today. Cameo glass was made in the 1950s. *** Tip: To set the time on a clock, push the minute hand clockwise, never counterclockwise.

Friedrich Nietzsche said, “Every extension of knowledge arises from making the conscious the unconscious.”

This week, we are conscientiously studying “cover an honor with an honor ... or not.” We have seen that usually the defender should cover the last of touching honors. However, there is an important extension to be added: “but only when it might gain a trick.”

For example, dummy (North) has the Q-J-8-7 of clubs and the next player (East) holds K-5-4-2. Declarer runs the club queen (everyone follows), then calls for the club jack.

It is the last of the touching honors, but it cannot gain East to cover with the king, because his club spots are so low; and it could cost a trick if South started with, say, A-9-3.

In today’s deal, what is declarer’s best line in six spades after West leads the club queen, and how should East defend?

North was right to respond three spades, a game-invitational limit raise. Although he had only nine high-card points, he had two aces, five trumps and a potential ruffing value in his doubleton.

The mirror distribution of the North-South hands seems to leave two unavoidable losers: one spade and one club. But South can set a trap for East by winning the first trick with his club ace, crossing to the board in a red suit, and leading the spade jack. If East covers the last of touching honors (the only honor), there is a loud crash as the queen, ace and king all appear on the same trick. But East should realize that since his partner has at most one spade, it cannot gain to cover.

Finding success in an unlikely location Industrial park setting doesn’t deter visitors to Fast Eddie’s Hot Dog Cart in Batavia

By BEN DRAPER bdraper@shawmedia.com

The owners of Fast Eddie’s Hot Dog Cart practically stumbled upon an idea that worked. Located in an industrial park, the duo set up the cart one day in 2004, and have been busy ever since.

Sisters Christine Baer and Cynthia Gugliuzza began selling hot dogs at the northeast corner of Swanson Drive and North Raddant Road after their father, Ron Clark, purchased a hot dog cart to bring to car shows. The cart is set up in the parking lot of Clark Molding Co. Inc., and Clark owns the building near 901 Swanson Drive in Batavia.

“Cynthia and I thought, ‘Why don’t we put it out here?’” Baer said.

“There’s nowhere to go for lunch. If you have a half an hour for lunch, you gotta drive all the way down Wilson Photos by Kaitlyn Veto – kveto@shawmedia.com Street, and – by the time you get back – you have to get back to work again.” Fast Eddie’s co-owner Cynthia Gugliuzza prepares a customer’s lunchtime meal. Fast Eddie’s, located near 901 Swanson Drive, Batavia, caters to employees of the surrounding industrial park. It serves a variety of food, such as Chicago-style hotdogs (pictured below), It was an immediate success. meatball sandwiches, nachos and more.

“We put it out one day – we didn’t even broadcast we were going to do it – and we were so busy, we just haven’t stopped,” Baer said.

Fast Eddie’s is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday but is busiest between 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., with the line sometimes reaching across the parking lot and toward If you go Raddant Road.

Sugar Grove artist makes painting fun, easy for others

By SUSAN O’NEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com

SUGAR GROVE – Jodie Elliot began doodling and painting when she was an elementary school student in her hometown of Herscher.

“I have always loved to paint and create all kinds of crafty things,” she said.

She went on to earn a degree in interior design, and started doing interior decorating and other design work on her own in 2000. She and her family moved to Sugar Grove.

For many years, the mother of two has painted canvas pieces for people’s homes. She and her daughters, MacKenzie and Makala, also known as The Artsy Girlz, have created all kinds of paintings, craft items and greeting cards, which they have sold online.

Elliot began hearing about people participating in “painting parties,” and last year, she decided to begin offering her own.

“Painting classes are the hot, new trend sweeping the nation,” she said.

“Anyone can paint, if they try.”

Elliot teaches classes for adults and children. For a group of 10 or more, she will travel to homes and meet at private clubs, such as the Elks Lodge in DeKalb, or restaurants and pubs, such as Schmidt’s Towne Tap in Elburn.

She also hosts painting parties at her home studio, or in more temperate weather, on her patio, where she can accommodate up to 28 people.

Eliot said a painting class is the perfect way to enjoy a night out (or in) with friends or family. The group

starts with a trendy canvas pattern and all the supplies needed to complete the painting. She provides step-by-step instruction for drawing and painting the canvas.

She encourages people to bring wine and snacks, unless the event is held at a venue where beverages and food are sold.

“After a few hours of laughter and fun, they leave with a work of art that they created themselves,” Eliot said.

She said that her Mother’s Day class, which she held at her studio the Saturday before, was a big hit, with the class filling up in a matter of minutes.

The classes are made up of mostly women, but Eliot has had a few men come to her Date Night parties with their wives.

“A painting class is a great idea for a bachelorette party, bridal shower, birthday party, couples date night, team building, a Girl Scout troop, or just to get out and explore your creative side,” she said.

Flowers are painted during an Artsy Girlz event. Classes take place for adults and children all over the area. Jodie Elliot of Sugar Grove started Artsy Girlz painting events in 2015.

The 2016 Aquascape Water & Garden Showcase begins with a tour of six backyards in the Tri-Cities from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 18.

The garden ponds will have an array of features designed for size, functionality and sustainability, said Aquascape construction manager Brian Helfrich. The features include bubbling urns, fire pits and bowls, rainwater harvesting systems, land bridges that connect water and garden elements, three-tiered waterfalls and winding streams.

“I’ve been working for Aquascape in St. Charles for a little over 22 years, and I look forward to each project as much as when they first started doing water features and landscaping features,” Helfrich said.

“Of course, all of our customers that put in water features are also avid gardeners, so you will see as many unique landscapes and inspirational landscapes as different types of water features.”

The water features are selected to fit each yard and space individually, so each backyard toured will be unique, Helfrich said.

Backyard ponds are popular, Helfrich said, because they reduce stress.

“I think it’s very relaxing,” Helfrich said. “There’s something about water that attracts everybody.

Water can be used in just about any landscape – you can have a ‘vacation’ spot of your own in your own

backyard.”

Though the tours are free, the company will have a suggested on-site donation of $10 per person, which will help support the Aquascape Foundation which seeks to establish clean water systems in communities in South America and Africa, Helfrich said.

“Every stop will have a greeter and a little tent set up that explains where to walk and whose house you’re at. And, at that point, you can grab more information and leave a donation with that person,” Helfrich said. “This is the first year we’re doing it. We’re looking to see if we can raise more money than what we have in the past.”

The June tours will feature the ponds of Mary Pat and Tom Brown, 620 South St., Geneva; Pat and Joe Crawford, 945 Ridgelawn Trail, Batavia; Christina and Matt Pierce, 578 Republic Road, Batavia; Rosie and Pat McVay, 641 Maple Lane, Batavia; Stephanie Frisque and John Kowal, 42 Marsh Lane, Batavia; and Cris and Tom Anderson, 712 Horne St., St. Charles.

The backyard pond tours will continue during the summer, featuring five homes in the Elmhurst area on July 16; seven homes in Naperville on Aug. 20; and seven homes in the St. Charles area on Sept. 17, including Aquascape’s “Pond Central” at its headquarters, 901 Aqualand Way, St. Charles.

The full schedule and map of all the homes is available by visiting www.aquascapedesigns.com.

The backyard pond of Cris and Tom Anderson at 712 Horne St., St. Charles, includes a 30foot stream with stepping stones, waterfalls and koi fish. The Andersons’ property is one of six featured in the June 18 Aquascape Water & Garden Showcase. Participants can tour this and other backyards with featured ponds. as part of the event.

Practice of grafting: A gardening ancient wonder People have been playing with the nature of plants for millennia. Most of the plants we know so well were created as hybrids of plants that grew wild. While most of us have been exposed to the concept of creating new plants by mating two different parents, the equally old horticultural practice of grafting is less widely known.

Grafting is widely used with woody plants, though it is becoming increasingly popular on more herbaceous plants, such as tomatoes and eggplant. Basically, the root portion of one plant is cut and forced against the top part of another variety of the same plant. Over time, the two sections become intertwined, and their vascular systems connect, so the roots feed the top part of the plant.

The desired result is to create a plant with hearty rootstock while having a

LEARNING TO GROW Jim Stendler favorable trait above ground, generally high fruit or flower quality.

Most commonly, this technique is used on fruit and ornamental trees, roses, and many dwarf variety plants.

In the past couple of years, grafted vegetables have become more common, but expect to pay twice as much for these plants as compared with the standard varieties.

Since grafting is a skill most often left to the professionals, the importance of understanding grafting lies in how to assess and care for the plants you have in your own yard.

Fruit trees, including crab apples, and

roses are the most widely used grafted plants in backyard landscaping. The graft union, where the two varieties have joined together, can usually be identified as a bulge in the stem.

Knowing the location of this joint is critical in managing any shoots or sprouts off the plant. Generally, any shoots from the plant below this point are undesirable and should be cut off.

At times, the entire top section may die, but the root part survives.

This can be deceiving with rose bushes, as you might have suspected that the top part of the plant died, but then were pleasantly surprised to find the plant miraculously sprung back to life. What usually results is a very aggressive rose bush with unimpressive flowers; and now you know what the plant that made up the rootstock looks like! Many new, heartier roses limit potential problems by breed-

ing varieties that have their own strong roots, avoiding the problem of unwanted suckers and frequent die back.

Grafting is a tried and true method for producing some amazing results.

The hearty roots can thrive in areas plagued by diseases, pests and less than ideal climates, while delicate top portions produce impressive flowers, tasty fruits, manageable sized trees and show-stopping roses. For this, it was worth tinkering with nature!

BACKSTAGE QUESTIONS WITH ...

Ron Onesti “OMG, how did you get The New Kids on the Block to reunite at The Arcada?

– Kelly O., Streamwood

“I heard Jimy Sohns of The Shadows of Knight had a stroke. How is he doing?” – Wally S., Chicago

Jimy is doing great! Just two days after his stroke, as I visited him in the hospital, he vowed to work hard to get back to where he was. Well, he is doing just that! He is one of the stars of our PBS television special, “Cor-

Hotel Baker was a presenting sponsor of the show, as were OxyHealth and Jenee Polaczek. nerstones of Rock: American Garage” project, which is touring around the country. He is working every day on his singing and stability, and has made strides that have even shocked his own doctors. He plans on being back on stage by August for a Shadows of Knight reunion, also joining the “Cornerstones” guys for shows in September. Welcome back, Jimy!

“How was Paul Anka? I have always wanted to see him, and I heard he was JUST at The Arcada and I missed him!”

– Sharon V., Geneva

Sharon! Ya gotta check out our website more often! To be honest, I was worried about this show. He had canceled on me three times prior to this date. But he did show up, and it was absolutely incredible! His voice was fabulous, but more exciting was his connection with the audience. During several songs, he came

out into the audience, danced with individuals, took selfies while he was singing, and even walked through rows of seats ... on the chairs! Don’t miss it next time – he wants to do TWO shows next year!

“Is it true that Frankie Avalon gave out cannoli to the audience at his last show?” – Mary C., St. Charles

Not really. For the second year in a row, Frankie actually performed at The Arcada on my birthday. Last time he had a cake for me, and presented it to me on stage during his show.

This time I thought we would include everyone at the sold-out show, so me and my staff made 1,100 homemade cannoli and passed them out to the entire audience! It was crazy!

“Any memories of Muhammad Ali?” – George R., Bloomingdale

I actually had the honor of sharing

some poignant moment with him as he came to the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame a few years ago for an unveiling of a statue of Rocky Marciano. I was producing the event, and because of a mutual acquaintance, Ali showed up! I had the opportunity to walk him through the event, and he was a true champ through it all! I choreographed a reunion between Ali and the original “Raging Bull,” Jake Lamotta.

Witnessing this emotional meeting between two legends was an inspirational experience, one that I will never forget.

I wish I could take credit for that!

Ever since Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy came to St. Charles, they have been very visible, spending time at local country clubs, fundraisers, restaurants and places like The Arcada and the Hotel Baker. With The Arcada being an “official” date night location for the superstar-couple, they asked me to get involved with Jenny’s charitable foundation for autism. It was to be “An Evening with Donnie Wahlberg” concert with “special guests.” As the event evolved, Donnie contacted his old buddies from the boy-band phenom The New Kids on the Block. The event turned into a true spectacular, with guest vocalists, rap legends, Naughty

By Nature, a choir, lasers, confetti cannons and incredible special effects. Then, one by one, the rest of the New Kids joined Donnie on stage, until four of the five guys were together again, for a surprise reunion.

I have seen the videos of The Beatles and Elvis on “The Ed Sullivan Show.”

I am sure it sounded similar to what I heard that night!

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose really know someone is to love them and that Human Libraries have the potential to change the world, one encounter at a time. I’m not alone in my efforts. My friends and fellow moms, Cara Schuster and Mary Swanson, joined with me several months ago to help create the Human Library of the Fox Valley (an initiative of our recently incorporated nonprofit, Fox Valley Face-to-Face), which has since been endorsed by the Human Library Organization based in Denmark. But we’re nothing without our beautiful “books,” including a young woman named Teal Cyko, who titled her book “Autism Spectrum.”

“When people hear someone has autism,” Teal said, “most of them think about ‘classic’ autism: a child, generally a boy, who is nonverbal, exhibits repetitive movement (called ‘stimming’), and has an area of intense focus and fascination. I am a highly-articulate adult woman who only stims when highly stressed, but I still have autism. That is why autism is said to be a spectrum. There is a spectrum of people who have it, and a spectrum of symptoms (of varying degrees), which fall under autism. Autism is part of who I am. It shapes how I see the

world. I refuse to hide it, be ashamed of it or let it hold me back from achieving my dreams. And if my voice can help the next person on the spectrum that you meet, I will gladly make it heard.”

Wow. Visitors to our library will also get to read “Former Refugee,” “Asexual,” “Bullying Survivor,” “Hidden Disabilities,” “Person of Color,” “Transgender” (read Kane County Chronicle reporter Brenda Schory’s piece featuring Samantha Williams at www.kcchronicle.com) and “Bipolar,” among others. The courage and generosity of human books is among the most moving things I’ve ever witnessed. Difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered. I have no doubt ours will make a difference, too.

All of our events will be free, but we can’t do this without our sponsors, including the Unitarian Universalist Society of Geneva, which has graciously allowed us to set up our tent on their property during our inaugural event, to be held during Swedish Days in Geneva.

Look for us on James Street (between 2nd and 3rd streets) on June 24 and 25. Our books will be on loan from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, for 1:1 conversations lasting up to 30 minutes, and children are welcome. Ours will be there, too. Noah’s helping to set up the tent, and Mary’s son, Jeremy, is making the cement footings to anchor it.

Holly did her part, too, the first day I attempted to create a new website (she

heard her technologically challenged mama whimpering from the next room and bailed me out), and even helped me hang posters advertising our event.

(Well, she wanted time behind the wheel, so she chauffeured me around — and yeah, that piece of cheesecake I sprang for at Townhouse Books and Cafe in St. Charles, the site of our first poster-in-the-wild, didn’t hurt either, but I digress.)

For me, this poster-hanging effort isn’t merely about driving people to our events. It’s about showing people that they’re not alone. Can you help us? Are you able to hang up posters or serve as a librarian at one of our events (ensure our books are returned in the same condition they were in when they were loaned). Can you or your organization make a donation to help defray our costs (hang your sponsor banner at our event! Check out our “support” page at www. humanlibraryofthefoxvalley.org)?

Or perhaps you’d like to share your own experience of discrimination and stigma? We’re challenging prejudice, one book at a time. Our world faces curious challenges, tensions, and devastating humanitarian crises born of our perceived differences. This is our response. Will you join us?

I’m not unique. I’m just another mom who wants a peaceful world for her children. So when I stumbled upon the Human Library concept last June, I just knew we had to build one here in the Fox Valley.

Human libraries are modeled after traditional libraries where visitors check out a range of titles, but they’re not built with bricks and mortar. At human libraries, no books are banned, no stories censored. Ours is a big tent, where everyone is welcome, and where “books” are people and “reading” is a conversation between local volunteers from traditionally marginalized groups, human books and readers — folks who simply are willing to better understand those with whom they share their communities. What a concept!

The original Human Library debuted in Denmark in 2000 in response to a violent hate crime. The movement blossomed, and today there are Human Libraries, organized completely by volunteers, in nearly 100 countries around the world. Our mission? Engage the public in conversations about equality, diversity and human rights, with the goal of reducing tension and violence and increasing social cohesion. We can do this here. I just know we can.

As a counselor, mom, neighbor and friend, I’ve seen what happens when people share their stories with each other: Hearts can be touched and minds can be opened. I believe that to

Erratic sleep can be bad for you Dear Dr. K: I average about six hours of

sleep each night. How much is enough, and how much do most people get?

Dear Reader: Let’s start with how much is enough. Many large studies have found that people who average fewer than seven hours of sleep per night, or more than nine hours, have more health problems. That is, there is an association between “too little” or “too much” sleep and health problems.

However, these studies don’t prove that too little or too much sleep is the cause of their worse health. Instead, something else may be causing too little or too much sleep, and also causing health problems.

For example, people who sleep more than nine hours per night tend to have higher rates of obesity, heart disease and depression. But it could be that their primary problem is depression, not excessive sleep. People with depression often spend more time sleeping. And they often eat too much and exercise too little, and thereby become obese. Obesity, poor diet and inadequate exercise all raise the risk of heart disease.

Most experts are more convinced of the adverse effects of sleeping fewer than seven hours per night. How many people are, like you, averaging fewer than seven hours per night? A recent study published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sheds light on that question. The study involved nearly half a million people from all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The good news was that most people (65 percent) reported that they averaged at least seven hours of sleep per night. The bad news was that 35 percent did not. That amounts to about 84 million U.S. adults.

About 12 percent reported sleeping fewer than five hours per night. About 23 percent reported sleeping fewer than six hours per night.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff Interestingly, only about 4 percent reported averaging more than nine hours per night. So if sleeping that much is harmful, a relatively small fraction of people is affected.

Averaging fewer than seven hours of sleep each night was more likely in certain groups and certain geographic areas. For example, non-Hispanic blacks, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders and multiracial people were more likely than other groups to report too little sleep.

People in the upper Rocky Mountain and Midwest farm states got the most sleep. New York, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama got the least sleep.

When this most recent study was compared to past studies, it appeared that more Americans are sleeping longer hours than in years past. For example, in another large survey conducted in 2007-2008, only about 60 percent of people reported getting at least seven hours of sleep per night (compared with 65 percent in this study).

So, sleeping seven to nine hours per night may well be healthier than sleeping fewer than seven hours per night. But that is by no means proven. Also, if it is true, it is only true for the “average” person. There probably are people who are born to need more or less sleep than the average person.

Dear Abby: My

science in the East Dear Clean Conscience: Listen to the advice

you received from your priest. Pray for your almost in-laws, but do not involve yourself in their marital problems. If Rick’s father approaches you again for help, tell him that he needs to discuss his suspicions with his wife because that’s the only way his problems will be resolved.

Dear Abby: I lost my favorite cat a year ago to kidney disease. I had noticed she wasn’t doing well, but when I told my parents, so we could take her to the veterinarian, they insisted she was fine. They said she didn’t need to see the vet because her ailments were just age. They refused to have her examined until it was too late, and by then, the vet’s attempts to help her only weakened her. She died in my arms on the way home.

I am devastated. She was my therapy animal and she helped me combat my anxiety disorders for over seven years. When she died, my family seemed to be suddenly struck with grief, even though they ignored her most of the time. This makes me angry because I feel their hesitation to take her to the vet and refusal to listen to me are what killed her.

I’ve forgiven them for what happened, but I still feel upset and angry toward them whenever I see my cat’s picture by her urn on my memory shelf. Am I wrong for feeling this way? – Not Feeling Purrfect Dear Not Feeling Purrfect: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your cat. What happened to her is regrettable, but holding a grudge won’t help.

What might help would be for your parents to get you another therapy cat, and I’m advising you to suggest it.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 19-year-old wife and my husband is 21. We have a one-year-old son and plan to have two more children. Both my husband and I are cigarette smokers. I did stop smoking when pregnant, but was eager to start smoking after the baby’s birth. My husband and I both smoke in our apartment. The reason we don’t go outside to smoke is because we are not positive that the smoke we exhale is harmful to our son.

A lot of our friends tell us that secondhand smoke is extremely dangerous for our baby to inhale, and that it is also bad for anyone to inhale. When we ask for specific information about how it is dangerous, we seem to get all kind of different answers. In fact, my husband’s grandfather calls the danger of breathing of secondhand smoke “rubbish” and he thinks it’s just an “old wives’ tale.”

My questions are “Is secondhand smoke physically dangerous to others? And, if so, can you describe the possible dangers for

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace our son?” If you can convince my husband and me that secondhand smoke is, indeed, a health hazard, we promise that we will stop smoking indoors. – Aggie,

Miami, Fla. Aggie: According to our Sur-

geon General, even short exposure to secondhand smoke can cause damage to blood platelets and blood vessel linings, increasing the risk of a heart attack.

A Stanford University study recommends that those who do not want to breathe secondhand smoke when outdoors should be at least six feet from a smoker, because of the power of secondhand smoke. The more distance from a smoker, the better the protection.

Now that I have your husband and you no longer smoking in your apartment, do yourselves a big favor and stop smoking 100

percent! The benefits of being smoke-free are enormous, from insuring better health for your baby and also for you and your husband, to saving money, and also not smelling like a “smoke stack!”

Dr. Wallace: I have been meaning to write this letter for quite some time. I’ve read your column throughout my teen years and I want to thank you for all your advice. At least there is someone out there still teaching today’s youth the importance of high morals and values.

I appreciate the things you’ve done and hope you continue to do your good work for a long time to come. I just wish there were more people out there like you.

Even though I’m 22 now, I still look forward to getting the paper and reading your column. – So-

phie, Lake Charles, La. Sophie: You sure know how

to make a columnist feel good!

Thanks for your kind words!

DEAR ABBY fiance, “Rick,” and I have Jeanne been together Phillips for years and recently got engaged. We are over the moon about it, and genuinely in love. However, this exciting time in our lives has been met with some difficulties.

We recently learned Rick’s mother has been having an affair, which makes for a very uncomfortable situation. My future motherin-law doesn’t know we know. Rick’s father came to us for help because he suspects she’s cheating.

She engages with this man publicly by texting, calling, etc. when we spend time with her, so I avoid her because I don’t want any part of it. It’s hard to ignore because we live with Rick’s family.

He believes we should say nothing. I spoke to our priest about it because I am so deeply disturbed by her behavior and was told to “pray for them.” I’m worried this will be a negative influence on my fiance and me, and that by remaining quiet we have become part of her lie. What should I do? – Clean Con-

Callen (Chris O’Donnell) causes concern for his colleagues as he goes off on his own, with no one else knowing exactly why, in “Active Measures.” Hetty (Linda Hunt) only knows she doesn’t want a rogue agent on her hands, so she tasks Sam (LL Cool J) and the others with finding Callen and stopping whatever he’s up to. Erik Palladino (“ER”) guest stars. Daniela Ruah, Eric Christian Olsen and Miguel Ferrer also star.

Best Bets

one-hour series finale, which chronicles a year in the life of the prickly (and nowmarried) gay senior citizens. The special opens in springtime, as the pair tries desperately to hide evidence of a recent inheritance, especially with Violet (Frances de la Tour) reeling financially following her divorce and upstairs neighbor Ash (Iwan Rheon, “Game of Thrones”) struggling to meet his rent.

7:30 p.m. on @ WFLD Brooklyn Nine-Nine Boyle’s (Joe Lo Truglio) love life has gottem lot of attention, and that continues with “Boyle’s Hunch,” featuring guest star Mary Lynn Rajskub (“24”) as the next woman who’s possibly in line for the police detective’s affection. Her character is an art-gallery owner, and Jake (Andy Samberg) tries to help make a match of the couple. Holt (Andre Braugher) tries for an image upgrade with Amy’s (Melissa Fumero) assistance.

8 p.m. on + WTTW Masterpiece Mystery!

Suspended from duty following the shocking developments that closed out Season 2, Detective Constable Endeavour Morse (Shaun Evans) is thoroughly disenchanted by the notion of returning to police work in the Season 3 premiere of “Endeavour.”

Although he resists the urging of his senior officer, Fred Thursday (Roger Allam), Morse warily begins his own investigation when a dead body turns up near his doorstep in the new episode “Ride.” David Oakes (“The Borgias”) guest stars.

8 p.m. on @ WFLD Family Guy “Modern Family” co-star (and “Married ... With Children” alum) Ed O’Neill is a guest voice in “Papa Has a Rollin’ Son,” which aims to reunite Joe (voice of Patrick Warburton) and his long-estranged dad on Father’s Day. Ultimately, Peter (voice of Seth MacFarlane) pulls a “Cyrano de Bergerac” act and poses as Joe for the latter’s parent. Stewie (also voiced by MacFarlane) tries to adjust to the news that he’ll always be short.

8:30 p.m. on @ WFLD The Last Man on Earth When you’re one of the last people on the planet, how do you go about establishing a power supply that will hold up? That’s the dilemma Tandy aka Phil (Will Forte) and Todd (Mel Rodriguez) set out to solve
