“It’s such a family town. Everywhere you go, it just seems like everyone is so nice.”

– Christine Baer, North Aurora

Helping out with a ‘Chair-ity’ project Those who have traveled through St. Charles lately may have spotted some colorful chairs outside in various locations.

The Downtown St. Charles Partnership, an organization dedicated to the revitalization of the city’s downtown, is again hosting its “Chair-ity” program, which asks community members to purchase and decorate Adirondack chairs that are then placed throughout downtown St. Charles.

Chairs for this year’s program already have been decorated and placed around the city.

“With 100 chairs being spread throughout the community, the chairs make a fun and colorful addition for the summer,” according to a news release about the program.

Our St. Charles reporter, Ashley Sloboda, and I decorated a Chair-ity chair. The chair is painted a soft red and has “Best of the Fox” wording in light blue stenciled on it, as well as our fox head logo. It has been placed near other chairs in the First Street Plaza, which is near South First Street and Route 64/Main Street.

“From when I first read the press release, I thought it would be up my alley because I like to be creative,” Ashley said of participating in the project.

“It’s always nice to contribute to the town I’m covering in some way.”

A chair decorated by members of the Kane County Chronicle and Elburn Herald staff (second from left) has been placed near other chairs in the First Street Plaza.

EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK Kathy Balcazar Bidding is now taking place on many of the Chair-ity chairs at www. chair16.gesture.com. The auction will run through the beginning of August.

In addition, a Facebook contest is part of the program this year.

“Interested parties can check out the DSCP’s Facebook Chair-ity album, where there are individual photos of each chair,” the release stated. “Each chair has been placed into one of four

categories: business, resident, nonprofit and children’s. The chair with the most likes in each category will be crowned the winner at the conclusions of the event in August. Voting ends Aug. 12.”

Newman’s starting salary with the city will be $165,000 per year. She will be responsible for the daily operation of a city government with 222 employees and a $104 million annual budget.

The city engaged in an exhaustive search process, using a municipal management consultant to winnow down the initial group of applicants, before aldermen conducted repeated interviews with six finalists.

Aldermen said Newman stood out from the pack.

“We’d ask her a question, and she would just nail it,” 2nd Ward Alderman Martin Callahan said.

Windmill fest to delight with rides, food, music, games

By BEN DRAPER bdraper@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – It takes a lot to put on a four-day, communitywide festival.

But that’s what happens every year in Batavia as organizers from the Batavia Park District, the Batavia Chamber of Commerce and the city of Batavia come together to take on the task.

“One of the things I love about the festival is the collaboration. It’s one of the great things about Batavia – everyone works together,” said Kari Felkamp, director of marketing and public relations for the Batavia Park District. “We always do an evaluation after the festival – what went well, what to add. It’s such a collaboration, so there are a lot of parties involved.”

The 2016 edition of the Windmill City Fest will take place July 7 to 10, primarily at the Batavia Riverwalk,

Felkamp said her favorite event is the pet parade, which will take place this year at 10 a.m. July 9.

“The majority of animals are dogs, but we always get something different – a bearded dragon, macaw parrot, and even a chicken one year.

Anybody with a pet can bring them down to the Riverwalk. All the pets go in front of a panel of judges. Then everyone does a short little parade route, and then we announce the winner,” she said.

Felkamp enjoys the uniqueness of the events.

“It’s so different than other festivals. I like that we try to be a little different,” she said. “We try to color outside the lines a bit. “

Batavia MainStreet’s Cocktails in the Park fundraiser will take place at 7 p.m. July 16 in Appleton Park, just north of the Batavia Government Center, 100 N. Island Ave. Photo provided

Cocktails, fundraising a fine pairing at upcoming event

By BEN DRAPER bdraper@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Revitalizing downtown Batavia is a major goal of the Batavia MainStreet organization. In addition to that, the organization is responsible for many community events in Batavia, such as the Batavia House Walk, BatFest, Green Fair on the Fox and others.

One of its biggest fundraisers, Cocktails on the Park, will be at 7 p.m. July 16 at Appleton Park, located near the Riverwalk behind the city building and police station in downtown Batavia.

The event raised $12,000 for Batavia MainStreet in 2014, and $15,000 in 2015, Executive Director Jamie Saam said.

“Our goal for this year is to increase attendance to 400 people. We do enjoy the feel of a slightly smaller gathering for this event versus the larger atten-

If you go n WHAT: Batavia MainStreet’s Cock-

tails in the Park n WHEN: 7 p.m. July 16 n WHERE: Appleton Park, near the

Riverwalk behind the city building and police station in downtown Batavia n COST: $25 each and can be bought at downtownbatavia.com or Batavia MainStreet office, 2 W. Wilson St., Batavia, through July 14 dance at some of our other events, such as OktoberFest, Block Party, etc. We hope to raise at least $15,000 this year, but are optimistic that we can do even greater than that,” she said.

Tickets cost $25 in advance through

midnight July 14 and can be bought at downtownbatavia.com or at the Batavia MainStreet office, located at 2 W. Wilson St. in Batavia. Tickets include entry; a commemorative Batavia MainStreet whiskey glass; food from all of the restaurants; live local music; chair massages and animal card readings from Om Sweet Om; a raffle where each prize is valued at over $500; and a cash bar that includes wine, beer and cocktails. New this year, a special raffle will take place with 200 tickets available for $50 each, and a one-in-200 chance to win $2,500. Tickets for that raffle can be bought at the MainStreet office.

Six restaurants, and possibly a seventh, will provide small plate dishes, including Pal Joeys, Rivers Edge Bar and Grill, Gaetano’s, Batavia Creamery, Gammon Coach House and En-

ticing Cuisine. The organization is partnering with Fox River Distilling Company for its bar service.

Saam said in-kind sponsors, such as Advanced Disposal, Sam’s Club, Unique Party Rental and Fox River Distilling Company, help Batavia MainStreet keep additional funds raised going back to Batavia MainStreet and its community-focused efforts.

“We are supported by the city of Batavia and our downtown property owners through an SSA for a portion of our budget. However, we [raise funds] through events and community and sponsor support for the remaining 60 percent of our budget. Those dollars are reinvested into downtown programming, beautification, assisting small-business growth in the downtown and truly making downtown Batavia everyone’s neighborhood.”

Batavia aldermen study shoreline erosion on river’s west bank

By MARK FOSTER editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – City aldermen are determined to stop the shoreline erosion of the Fox River’s west bank through the downtown.

They know it won’t be cheap.

Depending how much work they authorize, the project’s cost could range from $900,000 to $1.5 million, according to an engineering firm that was hired by the city to investigate the situation.

The affected area is roughly 1,500 feet of riverfront extending along the

west bank both north and south of the Wilson Street bridge.

Of particular concern is the city’s electrical substation on South Shumway Avenue, where the erosion has brought the river perilously close to the vital installation.

Erin Pande of Warrenville-based Engineering Resource Associates outlined potential strategies for stabilizing the shoreline during a recent committee meeting with aldermen.

Pande characterized some of the erosion as “extreme,” with significant drops from the shore to the water, cit-

ing both the substation as well as the area behind the commercial building at the northeast corner of West Wilson Street and North Island Avenue.

The solution would be terraced rock walls along with native plantings, Pande said, or – in a more expensive approach – poured concrete retaining walls.

In addition, the installation of rock vanes projecting out into the river at strategic points would help steer the river current away from the shore, Pande said.

Work could start as early as this

fall, Pande added.

Aldermen said the work must be done.

“We should budget for it now,” 3rd Ward Alderman Kyle Hohmann said.

Seventh Ward Alderman Dave Brown said the city should work with the Batavia Park District on questions about public access to the riverfront.

The city and the Park District have been meeting to discuss a variety of riverfront issues, including the preservation of Depot Pond, which could be turned into a mudflat if the nearby Fox River dam fails.

Families who want to temporarily add one more to their clan now have their chance.

Terra Lingua USA – a nonprofit that promotes global awareness and cultural understanding one student at a time – is seeking volunteer host families for high school exchange students coming to the St. Charles, Geneva and Batavia area for the 2016-17 school year, according to a news release.

The organization’s St. Charles representative, Rheanna Valdez-Reed, said families from Elburn and Sugar Grove may also apply.

The students come from more than 20 countries, including Spain, Brazil and Thailand, Valdez-Reed said.

The release indicated the students pass an application process for academic achievement, behavioral expectations and English proficiency. Each student arrives with medical insurance and spending money, the release stated.

Families may specify which gender they want to host, Valdez-Reed said.

“We work with families to help them choose the best fit for their family,” she said.

She said families with and without children may apply.

Prospective host families are interviewed and given an orientation, Valdez-Reed said, adding the families receive support from a local coordinator such as herself throughout the year. Host families are expected to provide exchange students with room and board and treat them as a family member, she said.

Students may attend public schools, but – if their family prefers that they go to a private school – Terra Lingua would try to find a host family willing to drive them there, she said.

Students generally stay with their host families for an academic year, Valdez-Reed said.

Families not sure whether they want to commit to a year may choose to be a temporary host family, Valdez-Reed said.

ST. CHARLES – A Batavia business that started in a St. Charles residence plans to return to its hometown.

Doran Scales Inc., which manufactures industrial and medical scales, plans to close its facility at 1315 Paramount Parkway in Batavia and move to the east side of St. Charles within the first half of 2017, owner Mark Podl said.

He noted the company is moving manufacturing from China to the U.S. “It’s a great way to celebrate our 40th anniversary,” he said.

His father started the company in their family’s basement, Podl said, and he bought the business from him 10 years ago.

Because Doran Scales hadn’t yet closed on the property in St. Charles, Podl said he didn’t want to be too specific about the company’s future address but said it is vacant land.

Collision repair chain mulls move into Batavia Auto-related retailers seem to thrive at Windmill Creek

By MARK FOSTER editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – An automobile body repair business wants to renovate and expand a former food store building that has been vacant for the past five years.

Crash Champions, with four locations in Will County and one in Chicago, is looking to take over the site of the former Aldi store at 2080 Main St. in the Windmill Creek center.

Owner Matt Ebert of Crash Champions is proposing to renovate the 15,000-square-foot structure, build a

7,000-square-foot addition on its east side and erect a 6-foot-tall vinyl fence to screen damaged vehicles from view.

But first, Ebert will need to obtain a zoning change to a service business classification from the existing general retail.

Although Batavia’s Randall Road corridor is intended to be the city’s engine of sales tax generation, officials seem to recognize that Windmill Creek’s low-lying location at the southwest corner of Randall Road and Main Street has proven to be less than ideal for retail.

City economic development consultant Chris Aiston said the former Aldi building needs work and suffers from poor visibility from Randall and Main.

The Aldi store occupied the build-

ing at the far south end of the development from 1992 to 2011, before moving to a more accessible location farther north on Randall Road.

While some businesses, notably Burger King and Golden Corral, have closed up shop in Windmill Creek, auto-related businesses generally have prospered, including Firestone Tires, Valvoline Oil, Tuffy’s Auto Service and a Mobil gas station.

“Although Crash Champions’ principal business activity is auto body repair, one shouldn’t underestimate the potential retail taxes this business will generate for the city through the sales of auto parts,” Aiston told Batavia city aldermen.

The repair business would complement the other automotive businesses

in Windmill Creek, Aiston said, and noted that Ebert is planning on investing about $1 million in the renovation and expansion of the former Aldi site.

At a recent committee meeting, aldermen generally were supportive of the proposal, which will have to go through the city’s planning process.

Planning and Zoning Officer Joel Strassman said Crash Champions will need a conditional use permit, as well as the zoning change. The city may attach conditions ranging from hours of operation to the landscaping for the site.

Mayor Jeff Schielke said his biggest concern is the potential visibility of damaged automobiles parked at the facility, and the length of time they would remain there.

JoJo the Clown leads bike parade in Sugar Grove

By CHRIS WALKER

Residents take part in the Sugar Grove Bike Parade on July 4.

editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – Watching firework displays lighting up the nighttime sky may be part of most people’s Fourth of July traditions, but in Sugar Grove there’s another event that takes place in the middle of the day that’s become quite popular, too.

For the 13th consecutive year, Sugar Grove’s resident clown, JoJo the Clown – also known as Karen McCannon – led the Sugar Grove Fourth of July Bike Parade.

Kids and their families convened at John Shields Elementary School at 12:30 p.m., and the parade kicked off at 1 p.m.

Members of the Sugar Grove Fire Protection District, Sugar Grove Police Department, Sugar Grove Legion Post 1271 and Sugar Grove Park District all shared in the festivities.

“This is the fourth year we’ve participated in the parade,” Sugar Grove resident Bernie Collins said. “We’ve been coming since my son, Nick, was in first grade, so we don’t miss it. You get to see your neighbors, and it’s always a lot of fun. And the nice thing is it’s just a small part of your day, so

Julie Walker For Shaw Media

you still have plenty of time to enjoy the holiday.”

Most kids decorated their bikes with patriotic colors, and some even donned festive USA T-shirts or similarly themed attire for the parade.

Michael Haddock and his son, Jack, 7, put down a blanket in front of their house at the corner of McCannon and Snow streets rather than ride bikes this year.

“I had about 10 of my friends riding in the bike parade this time, but we decided to just stay here this time,” Jack Haddock said while showing off his large bag of candy. “It’s a lot of fun.”

Wolf Bros.

Jack Haddock had collected his candy from JoJo the Clown and her clown contemporary, Calico Rose. Both were tossing handfuls of sweets toward spectators along the parade’s route.

The event might be all about the kids, but it’s equally as special and entertaining for JoJo, who once again found herself having a great time.

“The weather was wonderful, and the turnout was fantastic,” she said. “I had a gorgeous time.”

JoJo’s granddaughter, Alyssa McCannon, helped get the parade started in 2003. After participating in a similar parade in Yorkville, she proposed

Over 30 Years Experience

the idea of starting one in Sugar Grove.

JoJo loved the idea, and it’s become a summertime staple ever since.

Alyssa McCannon walked the route this year while handing out pamphlets promoting the Sugar Grove Veterans Park.

It was a homecoming of sorts for Jenny Mulder, who grew up in Sugar Grove but now lives in Missouri. She returned this year to drive a vintage tractor in the parade since her father was unable to do it. She brought along her four children.

“It was a lot of fun to come back,” she said. “This is a great event. I was so happy to be a part of it.”

Batavia resident Natalie Mercum brought her three kids to the parade as well as to visit her parents, Sugar Grove residents Don and Judi Adams.

“We’ve come for a few years now,” she said. “It’s a lot of fun and a great small-town atmosphere. The kids have a lot of fun with the parade and also get to spend some time with their grandparents.”

“The kids just love coming out here, and we love being a part of it,” Don Adams said. “I think the best part about it is that they get to decorate their bikes and then ride them as a big group.”

A sweet visit With her crystal blue eyes staring intently at me, I met a very cautious and curious 17-monthold as she lay in a hospital bed dozens of miles from her home.

Vivian Brady of St. Charles was diagnosed with leukemia last May, and the only chance to get a new photo of the beautiful girl and her brave parents was for me to travel to Advocate Children’s Hospital in Oak Lawn, where the family had already been camped out for more than a week.

Vivian is so used to new people poking and prodding her as part of her treatment plan that it took a while for her to warm up to me and trust that I would not give her “ouchies.” It warmed my heart when I finally saw that sweet smile from behind her pacifier.

BY TERRY AND KIM KOVEL Be careful when using old reference books.

Modern research methods, excavations, and old documents that were unknown for years have led to changed histories. The Chinese Export porcelain dishes that picture the signers of the Declaration of Independence originally were thought to be made about 1820 when they copied an 1817 painting by John Trumbull. The men posed while signing the document had Chinese faces, because the decorators probably had never seen a Caucasian man. Full sets were made in this pattern. Collectors and museums paid high prices for examples in the 1950s to 1970s.

The existing examples were studied and slight differences in the decoration led to the belief that this design was made for much of the 19th century. It probably was available during the 1876 Philadelphia celebration of the Centennial of the Declaration of Independence.

This led to lower prices, but large or unique pieces remain popular and high priced. A punch bowl with a diameter of 1 1 1/2 inches sold at a 2016 Skinner auction in Boston for $5,228. It pictured 13 blue stars, the men in groups, and a spread-winged eagle with a body that looks like the Union Shield. *** Q: When we lived in Keene, N.H., years ago we bought furniture from Sprague & Carleton, a local manufacturer. It was reasonably priced furniture that will outlast us. I understand the company has gone out of business. What happened?

A: Sprague & Carleton was founded by Frank L. Sprague and William Carleton in Keene, N.H., in 1899. The company started out making maple rocking chairs and settees.

Back frames of chairs were made by home workers, usually women and children.

Rattan seats were made at the factory. About

Kane County Flea Market

1,000,000 rockers a year were made by companies in Keene, which became known as the “porch chair center of the United States.”

In the late 1920s, Sprague & Carleton began making other furniture and bought furniture companies in other cities. Although some sources say the company closed in 1967, that’s just the date one of its divisions closed.

Patriot Industries bought Sprague & Carleton in 1968 and continued to operate the factories in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

According to a 1988 newspaper, the factory in Keene closed in November 1988 because of foreign competition. Many U.S. makers of wooden furniture went out of business because of the lower cost of foreign furniture and the demand for more modern furniture. *** Q: I have a tea set that belonged to my mother and has to be over 100 years old. It includes a teapot, sugar, creamer, six cups and saucers, and six plates. They are hand painted with two men and a woman and have gold trim. There are gold dragon finials on the lids of the teapot, creamer and sugar. The teapot and creamer also have gold dragons on the spout. The pieces are marked with two interlocking diamonds with the letter “T” inside of each of them. Who made this tea set and what is it worth?

A: Your tea set was made by Takito, a company in business in Nagoya, Japan, from 1880 to 1948. It’s impossible to give a value for your set without seeing it. *** Q: I bought a green scarf a few years ago that reads “The Heroes of ‘98” above a center picture of Lord Edward Fitzgerald.

Pictured in the corners are William Orr, Robert Emmet, Theobald Wolfe Tone and Henry Joy McCracken. Who are these men and what is it commemorating?

A: The men on your scarf were leaders

The signing of the Declaration of Independence is shown on this Chinese Export punch bowl.

The pattern must have been inspired by an 1817 American painting, even though the men on the bowl look Chinese. It sold for $5,228 at a recent auction. of the Society of United Irishmen, founded in Belfast, Ireland, in 1791. The Society aimed to unite Catholics, Protestants and dissenters to expand civil rights, reform the Irish parliament and gain control from Britain, but it was not successful. Lord Edward Fitzgerald was head of the military committee that planned to start a rebellion in 1798. Fitzgerald and others were arrested before the rebellion started.

William Orr was tried for treason and sent to the gallows in 1797. Fitzgerald was shot when he resisted arrest. He died in prison. Henry Joy McCracken was arrested, court martialed and hanged. Theobald Wolfe Tone was captured and sentenced to hang but took his own life.

A warrant was issued for Robert Emmet’s arrest, but he escaped and left the country. He returned to Ireland to lead another rebellion in 1803 but was captured, tried and hanged. *** Q: I have a small soft-sided Coca-Cola cooler that has two zippered compartments.

The top compartment holds six 16-oz. glasses.

The glasses are decorated with umbrella tables and chairs and are marked with an anchor on the bottom. What is this worth?

A: The anchor mark was used by Anchor Hocking of Lancaster, Ohio. The cooler with six glasses sells online for about $10-$15. ***

Tip: Be sure copies of lists of valuables, photographs and other information can be found in case of an insurance loss. Give copies, make digital copies and tell a trusted friend how to find them.

Fireflies are members of the insect family Lampyridae, which takes its name from the Greek word for shining.

Individuals use species-specific flash patterns to find a mate.

Note to readers This column first ran in 2009. It has been slightly updated from its original version. victims. As the male approaches what he believes is a potential partner, he meets instead with an impassioned impostor, who promptly tears him limb from limb.

Scientists believe femmes fatales act the way they do to not only increase their nutrient intake, but also increase

their toxicity. Photinus species contain a bitter chemical that works to deter predators. By consuming that toxin, Photuris females themselves become bitter tasting and deter their own predators. After these females have eaten their fill, they switch their flash patterns to that of their own species, lure in males, and let nature take a more predictable course.

It’s not hard to observe this and many other firefly feats, right here in the Tri-Cities. Just head outside as the sun is setting and keep your eyes peeled for the following: • Photinus pyralis, our most common firefly; emits J- or U-shaped arc of greenish-yellow light • Photinus marginellus, a tiny firefly that prefers forest edges; emits small dots of light • Photuris lucicrescens, our largest

species; hovers in one spot and emits light in a crescendo To turn the fun up a notch, take a small flashlight with you and try to mimic the patterns of light that you observe. Imitate the males to elicit a flash response from a female on the ground, then emulate females’ flashes to attract a male.

Better hurry, though. The insects and their light displays will only be around for a few weeks at the most.

Then they’ll be gone ... in a flash.

Three Waubonsee auto students place in national competition KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – Three Waubonsee Community College auto students recently placed in the national SkillsUSA competition during the 52nd annual National Leadership and Skills Conference held in Louisville, Ky., according to a news release.

Daniel Dwyer placed first in the Collision Repair Technology category; Melanie Thomas placed fifth in the Automotive Refinishing Technology category; and Drew Kleyweg placed eighth in the Automotive Service Technology category, the release stated.

In order to participate at the national level, Waubonsee students had to have placed first in the Illinois SkillsUSA

Leadership and Skills Conference held in April in Springfield. SkillsUSA has 13,000 school chapters in 54 state and territorial associations, according to the release.

Waubonsee assistant professor of auto body repair Andy MacDonald said the national recognition puts these students “in front of industry leaders, outside of their own classroom.”

MacDonald said the students who

compete prepare for the contest outside of their regular coursework, and that he is pleased that – through SkillsUSA – his students have the ability to take the experience they gain in Waubonsee’s auto body shop and test is against their peers across the state and country.

“This prepares them for a competitive world,” he said.

Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com • Thursday, July 7, 2016

For the past three weeks or so – since 5:34 p.m. June 20 – it’s officially been summer. Unofficially, it’s also firefly mating season, a last hurrah for these insects that have spent most of the last year or two under rocks and logs, living as predacious larvae that feed on earthworms, slugs and other invertebrates.

After metamorphosing into adults, fireflies have only a few short weeks left to live. It’s time to find a mate and procreate! In yards, parks and even corn and soybean fields throughout the area, determined male lightning bugs are taking to the air right around dusk, flashing their flamboyant displays and hoping to catch the eye of an available female.

Meanwhile, down on the ground, the females wait and watch. Should one see a male with an aerial exhibition she finds appealing, she’ll flash back in a species-appropriate way.

Seeing this favorable response, the chosen male will make a beeline (or, more correctly, a beetle-line, since fireflies are beetles, not bees or flies) down to the ground.

With his target clearly in sight, neither rain nor heat nor gloom of night will stay this courier from his blinking beauty. In fact, the warmer and more humid the evening, the better, as far as the fireflies are concerned. If the female continues to respond, the male will continue his pursuit, and the flashy courtship will go on, sometimes for an hour or more.

If all goes well, mating occurs and both parties depart, she to begin the process of depositing eggs, he to find another partner, and both presumably live happily ever after. But even for fireflies, there are no guarantees.

When a human relationship goes south, the male sometimes loses his shirt. When a firefly relationship hits the skids, the male often loses his head.

In the firefly world, danger exists in the form of femmes fatales, large females of the genus Photuris that prey upon the smaller males of the genus Photinus. These sly sirens mimic the flash responses of the other species’ females to lure in their unsuspecting

Fireflies find their blinking beauties during summer

By NATALIE JUNS SUGAR GROVE – Re/Max All Pro celebrated its new location with a ribbon-cutting ceremony June 29. It is now located at 495 N. Route 47, Suite D, in Sugar Grove, in the same shopping center as Jewel-Osco.

Re/Max All Pro officially moved into its new location June 1 from its former Sugar Grove location on the other side of Route 47. There are a total of two other area Re/Max locations connected to Re/Max All Pro in Sugar Grove, including Re/Max All Pro in Bloomingdale and Re/Max Great American North in St. Charles.

In 2006, Tim Binning purchased a Re/Max office that had opened in Sugar Grove four years prior. There were only two agents at the time. Binning changed the name to Re/Max All Pro, and since that time, the office has expanded to include 14 full-time agents.

Operations manager Denise Dell explained how the company decided it needed to make the move to a different location in Sugar Grove.

“Visibility was the deciding factor,” Dell said. “The Jewel [shopping] plaza has a lot of foot and car traffic, and we knew that it would be an ideal location for us. We wanted to locate to an area where our clients and potential clients could easily find our office.”

After moving to the new location,

Natalie Juns - For Shaw Media

office manager Karen Cinto expressed how the increased visibility was a huge factor. She said she realized how much the new location increased people’s awareness of Re/Max All Pro when she had several people tell her they didn’t realize they were in town before.

Sugar Grove Chamber of Commerce President Sally McClellan attended the ribbon-cutting to show support for the local business.

“We are thrilled for them,” McClellan said. “There’s more foot traffic here, and this strip mall is great for any business. Their old location was on the other side of Route 47 and ran east and west. This will be great for them.”

Eddie Jahn was the first agent in Sugar Grove for Re/Max All Pro. Jahn retired on the first of this year, but he came out for the ribbon-cutting ceremo-

Foxtrot Organic Farm dishes up ‘unparalleled’ flavors

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – People who buy produce from Foxtrot Organic Farm can learn a lot about their food.

Ellen Kamps, who runs the Wayne farm with Jeff Hughes, said they are eager to educate interested customers about the steps that went into growing the food, multiple ways to eat it and what complements it.

A lot of the vegetables and fruits Foxtrot sells include heirloom varieties and types not generally found in stores, they said.

“All of our varieties are chosen specifically for their unparalleled flavor,” Kamps, 27, said.

She and Hughes, a 26-year-old who has been farming for seven years, said they began selling their harvest this year following three years of preparing

ny to show support for the new location.

“Everyone always told us our office was so nice and everyone was supportive,” Jahn said. “Sugar Grove is great.

I can’t say enough about Tim Binning and his wife, Laura. The Realtor world can be so competitive, but we’re like family here.”

With 12 individual offices, including the lobby and meeting room, there is an abundance of room with new furnishings gracing the new business location.

Real estate agent Mike Peters explained the many benefits his team is experiencing at the new location.

“We’ve only been here a month, but we have increased visibility, a national brand presence, quality offices, more computers and walk-in traffic,” Peters said. “It’s a new goal to have a lot more traffic.”

Laura Binning explained how her family enjoys Sugar Grove.

“Sometimes our boys will work the front desk here in Sugar Grove, and they love working here,” Laura Binning said. “I think Sugar Grove is the next big town.”

Sugar Grove Village President Sean Michels said he believes people moving into town – and the current residents – will be more aware of the benefits Sugar Grove has with Re/Max All Pro being in a more visible spot.

“It’s nice to have Re/Max here filling up valuable space,” Michels said. “I think it will draw a lot of business. It’s great to also have the storefront filled up. It’s taken a while, but it’s finally coming along. People moving here will be able to see how much we have to offer in Sugar Grove.”

Jeff Hughes from Foxtrot Organic Farm explains the various items for sale at their stand June 25 at Primrose Farm in St. Charles.

Jeff Krage - For Shaw Media

If you go n WHAT: Foxtrot Organic Farm Stand n WHEN: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays

Road, St. Charles n INFO: foxtrotorganicfarm.com the farmland for organic certification.

The St. Charles residents began offering FoxBoxes – a prepaid subscription service based on the community supported agriculture model – on Jan. 1 and sold out by Jan. 4, Hughes said, noting they have a waitlist of about 80 people. He credited the success to offering smaller, more affordable boxes that don’t overwhelm customers with food.

FoxBox customers pick up their produce at Primrose Farm, where Fox-

trot also operates a farm stand from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays, they said.

Hughes, who works at Primrose part time as an educator, said they volunteered to take the farm stand when the St. Charles Township facility didn’t have another farmer lined up.

Compared to other farmers markets, their stand is unique because it has a walk-in cooler that allows Foxtrot to offer fresh produce throughout the day, Hughes said.

A+ RATING

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – A St. Charles man faces multiple criminal charges on accusations he was growing marijuana in his home, according to Kane County court documents.

Robert E. Jaeckel, 61, of the 1700 block of South Fifth Place,

was charged in June with three felonies – producing or possessing marijuana plants, manufacturing or delivering marijuana and possession of marijuana, records show.

Court documents indicated there was a “grow operation” in his basement, and that authorities June 23 found 112 marijuana plants, as well as a substance that

tested positive for marijuana.

The marijuana had a street value of $31,690, according to records.

Jaeckel, who has been unemployed since 2009, had his bond set at $50,000, records show. Documents indicated that a friend posted $5,000 bail for him.

He is next expected in court July 29.

Records indicated the North Central Narcotics Task Force was involved in the case. The agency is a multijurisdictional law enforcement task force that investigates illicit drug trafficking and distribution, as well as gang activity and weapon offenses in Kane, McHenry and DeKalb counties, according to its website.

Ashley Korbal shares corn on the cob with her daughter, Lillian, during the 2014 Sugar Grove Corn Boil. The 2016 Sugar Grove Corn Boil festival will be July 28 to 31 at Volunteer Park on Main Street, surrounding the Sugar Grove Park District building and Kaneland John Shields Elementary School in Sugar Grove.

Sugar Grove Corn Boil to pack entertainment

By SUSAN O’NEILL

SM-CL0358258

editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – The Sugar Grove Corn Boil is a community event where neighbors gather to enjoy a weekend of friendship, fun, music and food. This family-friendly weekend also offers a variety of children’s activities, carnival rides, crafts, a 5K run, a car show, fireworks and more.

The event runs July 28 to 31. Carnival rides begin in the evening of July 28, but the festival begins in earnest July 29.

This year’s parade and opening ceremony, which both start at 5 p.m. July 29, will feature Special Olympics athletes and medal winners from around the Fox Valley area. The Sugar Grove Citizen of the Year will be announced during the ceremony.

The corn boil festival takes place at Volunteer Park on Main Street, surrounding the Sugar Grove Park District building and Kaneland John Shields Elementary School.

Entertainment begins with an appearance by special guest Dick Biondi and the Road Crew.

Doug Reiners, entertainment chairman, said the show on July 29 will have a rock ‘n’ roll theme, featuring the Beatles tribute band Liverpool Legends.

Other performances include hometown bands such as The Duke Band from Sugar Grove and a jazz-fusion group of Kaneland High School seniors

and graduates called Remember the Future.

The headliner on July 30 is country singer Eric Von, who has opened for Kenny Chesney and Miranda Lambert.

The entertainment theme on July 31 is music from the 1950s and ’60s to coincide with the car show on-site, with music from Fast Eddie and the Corvettes and more, Reiners said.

A Kids Zone area will offer games, prizes and entertainment, including superhero and royal princess character appearances, as well as physical fitness challenges with the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Army Corps, and a visit by the School of Rock House Band from Geneva.

With free entry, free parking and mostly-free activities and entertainment, the Corn Boil Committee has worked hard to make the event family-friendly and inexpensive, Corn Boil President Jean Lindsay said.

Many people mistakenly think that the festival is run by the village, she said, adding that the festival is completely volunteer-run.

Continued from page 20 The nonprofit Sugar Grove Corn Boil organization is a citizen volunteer group that plans and organizes the annual festival. The group is always looking for more volunteers to help make the festival a success, and this year is no exception. People are particularly needed to help operate the parking lot, drive the golf cart shuttles, shuck corn and more.

“We also still have room for sponsorships,” Lindsay said.

Raffle tickets are on sale at various locations, including the Sugar Grove

Jewel-Osco and the farmers market, with a $1,500 first-place cash prize and several baskets filled with gift cards.

In addition, contributions are needed to support the Corn Boil fireworks, renamed the Bob Bohler Memorial Fireworks, in honor of longtime Corn Boil volunteer Bob Bohler, who passed away last year, organizers said.

The money the Corn Boil raises is shared with local nonprofit organizations. Friends Food Pantry, the Sugar Grove Historical Society and the Kaneland High School Drum Corps are a few of the organizations the Corn Boil helped last year.

Kane County cancels July recycling event KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com The Kane County electronics and books recycling event scheduled for July 9 has been canceled because of the suspension of the electronics recycling program, a county news release said.

It is unknown when the event will be rescheduled, the release said.

An overwhelming volume of TVs flooded the county’s electronics dropoff sites and recycling events, prompting the recent closure of the remaining drop-off sites and forcing the temporary suspension of the monthly electronics recycling event, the release said.

According to the release, the Kane County Division of Environmental Resources is working with municipalities to create a network of electronics recycling drop-off locations that will sustainably serve county residents under current conditions.

The county aims to secure three

partners – one location each in the north, central and southern sections of the county – to provide convenient recycling options to residents, the release said. It indicated the sites likely will be open five days a week yearround.

Once those locations are set, the recycling event that traditionally takes place monthly at 540 S. Randall Road, St. Charles, will be reactivated, the release said.

Meeting brings Route 47 interchange closer to development

By SUZANNE FLYNN editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – A study aimed at eventually creating a full-access interchange at Route 47 and Interstate 88 is progressing, with officials gearing up to pitch their plans to the Federal Highway Authority in September.

The village of Sugar Grove initiated the Sugar Grove Parkway (Route 47) at the Reagan Memorial Tollway (Interstate 88) Interchange Improvement Study to create a full-access tollway interchange at Route 47; the interchange now offers access points to and from the west only.

At an earlier meeting in May, about 100 people that attended were able to hear about the work completed to date, view route alternatives, and provide input and suggestions on interchange variations based on the purpose and needs of the project, said Peter Johnston, head engineer on the project from GREAF–Chicago, an engineering, planning and design firm.

“The input and suggestions from the first public meeting and the CAG [community advisory group] meetings we’ve had over the last year have all been incorporated into a range of alternative interchanges,” Johnston said.

“It seems like a long time. But we are a lot closer than we have been in the past, and we are confident the project will go through.”

Sean Michels Sugar Grove Village President

There is much work to be done before any work can begin, however. A projected traffic study out to year 2040 will have to be completed and an environmental study finalized, and those elements will have to be combined together to refine the interchange options in order to present a plan to the Federal Highway Authority at their meeting in September.

“We hope to go to them in September with a presentation telling them why the interchange should be at Route 47, what kind of interchange should be here, and why other roads should not be selected over Route 47,” Sugar Grove Village President Sean Michels said.

This stage is called the alternative development stage. At the meeting,

COMMITTED AND TRUSTED:

Open 24-hours, 365 days a year.

Experienced Team: ER doctors and nurses with 20+ years of ER experience Brand New Hospital: State of the art equipment and facility on Randall Road 351 S. Randall Road, Elgin, IL 60123 847-695-3652 www.PremierVets.net

attendees were able to make suggestions on highway tools such as entrance relocations, raised medians, traffic signal controls and roundabout controls.

The typical road project is developed and implemented using a threephase process. The Route 47 and I-88 interchange is in Phase I, which is the preliminary engineering and environmental studies stage that takes three to five years. There are five steps to this stage, which started in 2015. The project is about halfway through with the phase, so it is expected to last until about the end of 2017.

The next phase will be the contract plan preparation and land acquisition phase. This phase will last another two years. Then, the construction phase begins, which is another two to three years. The entire project is not expected to be completed for about five more years.

“It seems like a long time,” Michels said. “But we are a lot closer than we have been in the past, and we are confident the project will go through.”

Route 47 is primarily a rural, northsouth state highway that runs 170 miles from central Illinois to Wisconsin, and I-88 takes travelers 140 miles from western Illinois to metropolitan

Chicago. This particular section of I-88 is under the jurisdiction of the Illinois Tollway and is designated the Reagan Memorial Tollway.

The exact section being studied includes the village of Sugar Grove and unincorporated Blackberry and Sugar Grove townships. It includes Route 47 from Waubonsee Community College to Green Road. The study limits on I-88 extend about one-half mile east and west of Route 47.

The input and suggestions from the May meeting went to an external firm for review, and then the alternative development and evaluation process will go through multiple rounds of evaluations. Alternatives will be screened out through the process and those that meet the purpose and needs of the project best will pass through to the next round.

Although a date was not initially set, attendees will be able to review the results of the screened alternatives at the next public meeting. The remaining alternatives will then be studied further and additional input will again be available.

The community can find updates, including dates for public meetings, on the dedicated website for the project at www.sugargroveinterchange.org.

Elburn eatery’s top sellers also include mac ’n’ cheese bites

By VIOLET MARQUARDT editorial@kcchronicle.com

• Thursday, July 7, 2016

ELBURN – From the moment Alice’s Place opens its doors each morning, customers from all over the community come flooding in for ice cream treats and diner-style food.

That’s the way it’s always been.

In the 24 years since Alice’s Place opened in Elburn, it’s been home to the community with each cone served.

“We’ve owned this place for 24 years now,” owner Audrey Hanson said.

“This year has been our busiest year by far.”

Known for ice cream and other frozen sweet treats, Alice’s Place also offers several other food choices from cheeseburgers to fried mac ’n’ cheese bites. According to Hanson, some of these odds and ends are the bestsellers at Alice’s Place.

“We sell so many bacon cheeseburgers that we go through an entire 15-pound box of bacon each week,” Hanson said. “And everyone loves the mac ’n’ cheese bites.”

When it comes to ice cream, according to employee Emily Laudont of Elburn, flurries are the most popular, with options ranging from key lime pie to puppy chow.

“The turtle sundaes are really popular, too,” Laudont said. “This is my fifth summer here. It’s super fun working here because it’s really fast-paced and it’s always busy.”

Laudont is not the only returnee at Alice’s. Even customers who have left the community pledge their loyalty by making an annual summer trip to Alice’s Place.

“I’ve been coming here since I was a child. I actually just brought my roommates from college here to see Alice’s Place and try their stuff,” said Kylie Siebert of Elburn, a recent Augustana College graduate. Siebert said her usual order at Alice’s Place is a funfetti flurry with mac ’n’ cheese bites on the side.

“A lot of our customers are from out of town,” Hanson said. “Most of our customers I don’t know them by their names but by what they order.

We have lots of regulars here.”

Aside from the ice cream cones adorning the top of the building, Alice’s Place is known for its inside decorum. Inside Alice’s Place a menagerie of Pepsi products and advertisements

“A lot of them still even have the Pepsi in it,” Hanson said. “I have a feeling that one day I’m going to walk in and they’re all going to have exploded.”

On the freezers, Hanson has a collection of photos and advertisements marking community events and fundraisers she has participated in through Alice’s Place over the years.

“We do a lot of fundraisers for the schools during the school year,” Hanson said. “We just try to help however we can.”

The community makes sure to give back to Alice’s Place just as much. Last year, when the miniature ice cream cone was stolen from the roof of Alice’s Place, the community banded together to raise the funds to replace the ice cream cone.

According to Hanson, the sense of Customers gather outside Alice’s Place on June 28 in Elburn. community is what she loves most about Alice’s Place.

Elburn food pantry continues to grow

By VIOLET MARQUARDT editorial@kcchronicle.com ELBURN – Although the Elburn Countryside Food Pantry now services six different churches from Elburn to Virgil, it hasn’t always operated at such a large scale. Originally, the food pantry began at United Congregational Center in Elburn because of the hard work of Clara Stonecipher, who proved to be vital to the food pantry’s success.

“Clara was instrumental in getting the food pantry started and moving it over to the Elburn Community Center [where it now is],” said Rita Burnham, with the food pantry. “I got involved through my church, Grace Lutheran Church of Lily Lake, about 15 years ago.”

Burnham has moved up the ladder in those 15 years, going from volunteer to running the food pantry each week.

According to Burnham, in the decade and a half she’s been involved, she’s seen a steady stream of clients each week.

“It’s kind of stable,” Burnham said.

“We’ve seen some jumps, like when the economy wasn’t good back in 2008.

Over the past two to three years, we average about 25 to 30 families a week

“Over the past two to three years, we average about 25 to 30 families a week that we service.”

that we service.”

The food pantry survives largely because of the donations it receives and its volunteers. Each month, the food pantry receives a donation from the Northern Illinois Food Bank, which delivers canned goods and other shelf-stable items. This is matched with donations from local churches. A group of volunteers also goes to Jewel-Osco each Tuesday and buys meat, produce and bakery items, which are taken back to the pantry for distribution.

“We don’t do any fundraising. Everything is donations,” Burnham said.

“We get lots of donations from the Elburn Lions Club, local churches, and lots of individual donations.”

The Elburn Countryside Food Pantry also is helped by fundraisers from the

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.

“They all do a lot for us and are a big help,” Burnham said.

According to Burnham, the food pantry would not be able to run without the help of its volunteers. Each week, on average, there are about 12 to 15 volunteers who handle everything from shopping at Jewel-Osco to food distribution each Thursday. Burnham estimates the volunteers help cover about five hours of work each week.

“Then we have five different local churches who come up each week, and each week it’s a different church who handles distribution,’’ Burnham said. “They each bring volunteers from their church.”

Anyone interested in donating to the food pantry can do so at the drop box outside of the community center.

“We always need cereal, always need toilet paper, any kind of pasta, canned goods, Hamburger Helper-type meals,” Burnham said. “Pretty much all of the staples.”

Kaneville library director expands programs, outreach “Being a part of this is great. This is my home. …

It’s important to be part of the community and to contribute as best I can.”

Lynda Fillipp, Kaneville Public Library director working to update the library’s website, www.kanevillelibrary.org, to make it more user friendly. This summer, she has been very involved in the library’s summer reading contest – coordinating a kick-off party, raffle prizes, free movies and popcorn, as well as special game days.

Library board President Karen Kneller said Fillipp was chosen for the director position based on her connection to the Kaneville area, marketing experience and ability to bring “fresh, new ideas” to the library.

Fillipp has two undergraduate degrees – one in graphic design from Illinois State University and another in marketing from Aurora University. She has a master’s degree in communications from Northern Illinois University.

Kneller said Fillipp has gotten off to a great start at the library.

“She jumped into the situation immediately, moving her personal desk into the main library area to be closer

to patrons,” Kneller said. “She’s been cleaning, changing the library’s look, and building community and statewide [partnerships].”

Fillipp said she wants to make the library a “community hub.” She said she hopes the library can host musicians, classes, knitting clubs, antiques shows and more. Anyone with program suggestions can email Fillipp at director.kpld@gmail.com.

In addition, Fillipp said she hopes to connect with Kaneland High School to help students get volunteer hours and to host a possible logo contest, where the students can design a new library logo and win a prize. Fillipp is also a member of the Kaneland Performing Arts Boosters board.

“It’s nice to see such a close-knit community supporting one another,” Fillipp said. “Being a part of this is great. This is my home. … It’s important to be part of the community and to contribute as best I can.”

KANEVILLE – Just a few months into her new role as director of the Kaneville Public Library, Lynda Fillipp has several programs underway and big plans for the future.

Fillipp, a Kaneland High School alumna, has had six generations of family members reside in the Kaneville area. In fact, her great-aunt, Helen Jones, was the first librarian at the Kaneville Public Library.

The library board hired Fillipp to fill the director vacancy left by the retirement of Ray Christiansen in March.

Previously, Fillipp had served two years on the board before she moved out of district but stayed involved with the board as its recording secretary. Fillipp and her family now live in Maple Park.

Fillipp said she sees her new role as an integral part of the local community.

“We’re a pretty small town,” Fillipp said of Kaneville. “It’s important for us, as a library, to look outside our four walls and offer different things to different groups of people. I plan on creating more events, community partnerships, and to really just let people know we are here.”

Fillipp has created a Kaneville Public Library page on Facebook and is

Kaneville Community Child Center adopts Army platoon

By VIOLET MARQUARDT editorial@kcchronicle.com KANEVILLE – The Kaneville Community Child Center, which educates and cares for children from all over the area, has some news to share.

Since February, the center has been bringing the community together with its Adopt a Platoon efforts. The Adopt a Platoon campaign allows the community and students to rally together to bring some smiles to military platoons overseas.

According to the center’s director, Carolynn Abruzzo, part of the advantage of being located in Kaneville is the strong community ties which benefit the children directly.

“Being involved in the community just gives the children a sense that [they’re] part of something bigger. … It’s a sense of pride,” Abruzzo said.

Abruzzo said the idea to adopt a platoon came from the students.

“Some of the kids in the class asked if we could [help out],” Abruzzo said. “So in January I looked up how to do it online, and found the organization Adopt a Platoon.”

The Army platoon that KCCC donates to is based out of Michigan but is currently serving in Afghanistan. The platoon is comprised of 20 soldiers, five of which are female.

In the months that have passed since adopting this platoon, KCCC already has done myriad campaigns to collect items to donate.

First, the students made Valentine’s Day cards to mail, each with a heart candy attached, and more recently, the school held Operation Foot Care Control.

“Between the heat and dampness [in Afghanistan], apparently it is really easy for [the platoon] to get blisters and sores in those big, heavy boots they wear,” Abruzzo said. “So we collected things like socks, toenail clippers, lotions, antifungal creams and things like that.”

The Kaneville Community Child Center has adopted an Army platoon through the Adopt a Platoon program.

Since February, the students have made care packages with things such as cards, candy, socks, personal care items, bug spray and more. Donation drives are ongoing through drop-off boxes located at the school, 2S101 Harter Road, Kaneville.

$ In addition to Adopt a Platoon, KCCC also sends items to a soldier from Sugar Grove currently stationed in Afghanistan.

“That one hits close to home,” Abruzzo said. “He’s from our community, but now he’s all the way across the world.”

Abruzzo said that since starting Adopt a Platoon at the school, the students have become more aware of what it means to be a part of a community and how to help others in need.

“Kids now talk about other ways they help out others with their parents, like Feed My Starving Children and things like that,” Abruzzo said. “I tell them that it’s the same idea – you’re helping someone across the world.”

The next drive will be called Operation Bug Off. Abruzzo said they will be collecting items such as bug spray, lip balm, sunscreen and other things to help protect against heat and bugs.

Community members can help KCCC with its Adopt a Platoon efforts by donating to the many drop-off boxes they have outside the school. Once enough materials are collected for the 20 platoon members, the children help pack the bags.

According to Abruzzo, the children gather and form an assembly-style line to fill the bags with each necessity. After Operation Foot Care Control, a handful of students even got to accompany Abruzzo to the post office afterward to watch her mail the package.

“They got to come with, watch me mail the package, pay for the postage and all of that,” Abruzzo said. “They got to see the whole process from start to finish, from filling the bags and collecting items, to mailing it off.”

Since KCCC educates children from age 4 all the way up to age 11, it is often hard to find activities that all the children enjoy and find interesting. Adopt a Platoon is one activity Abruzzo said each student enjoys.

“The older kids like helping others,” Abruzzo said. “And the little kids like the process of assembling so there’s something for everyone.”

When you are getting close to retirement or in retirement and need to know that your assets will be there for you, investment volatility may be more terrifying than exciting. Over time, investment performance smooths out, but you need to have time to let them smooth out. When you are drawing income from your investments and the price is going down, it can be much harder to recover when the price starts leveling out and going back up because you sold shares when the price was low and now you have fewer shares for your portfolio to recover value when the prices go back up.

Riding investment trends when you are older is not the same as when you are younger. You no longer have the smoothing factor of time.

If you cannot smooth out your portfolio performance over time, you need to consider smoothing it out over different types of investments. Diversification!

Including investment types that have different performance trends, that are not correlated, can help smooth out your portfolio performance. The intent of diversification is that you reduce the intensity of the investment value roller coaster. It does mean, however, that you smooth out the downs and the ups. No one wants to go down but everyone still wants to go up. If you want a smoother financial ride, you need to be realistic that you may not get to jump up as much when the market soars up.

Ministry aims to buy campus property

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com ELBURN – Beautiful U Ministries hopes to buy the 12-unit Great Lakes Leadership Campus in downtown Elburn to expand its services to greater assist both young and expecting mothers, preparing them for a future of independence and self sufficiency.

Since 2010, Beautiful U Ministries has provided safe, secure environments for at-risk pregnant teens and teen mothers via satellite-home families. The goal is to serve more women who are in need, which can happen if it’s able to buy the new building.

A fundraiser was hosted June 17. The theme was Date Night, and guests participated in raffles while enjoying a cheese fondue course and a variety of desserts.

“It was a smaller event, but it went well,” Beautiful U Ministries co-founder Bill Hough said. “I’m not sure how much we raised, but it was probably $2,300 or $2,400. It was a good, fun group.”

A GoFundMe page has been established to help raise $190,000. As of July 1, about $23,557 had been raised on the site.

“There is definitely a need,” Hough said. “In order for our ministry to grow and continue to serve, we need this. We continue to grow, and there are many moms that have been thrown out of their homes and they have no place to stay.”

As an intervention program for atrisk pregnant teens and young mothers, Beautiful U Ministries’ mission is to “share the good news of God’s unconditional love with each mom as we provide the individualized physical, emotional and spiritual care and

The building has many rooms for young mothers, Hough said.

“It’s a great setup with good, dormsized rooms,” Hough said. “One of the 12 could go to a single-mom family that’s been a part of our ministry for [a] little longer and serve as a mentor to the others. Unfortunately, it’s a pretty significant piece of property, so it doesn’t come cheap.”

Ideally, the women not only would have a place to live and raise their child but also would be afforded some transitional opportunities.

He said he put out a can of tuna fish and some water, and the mother cat came out, ate the tuna, then hustled back up into the car.

A Sugar Grove police officer came to try and help the Adams extricate the cat but with no luck. Adams said the officer told him if the cat won’t stay out on her own, they have another plan to get under the car and extricate it.

Sugar Grove Police Chief Patrick Rollins said the officer confirmed a cat is hiding inside of the Nissan on the Adams’ property.

“We told the family to have liquids available, so the cat will not get dehydrated,” Rollins said. “It just doesn’t want to come out right now. We’re going to wait and see if it will come out on its own.”

Joe McMahon predicts success with bond tool

Going on

n o i ? t a c a V

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – For the last six months, Kane County judges have had a new tool to help determine individuals’ bond.

During his monthly meeting with reporters, Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon said that while the Public Safety Assessment, or PSA, is still new to court personnel, it has been useful.

“I think it will be successful here,” he said, noting officials continue to assess it.

Kane County – along with Cook and McLean counties – adopted the PSA as part of a pilot project spearheaded by the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts to evaluate the PSA for potential statewide implementation.

The Laura and John Arnold Foundation developed the PSA after research showed that, nationwide, a large percentage of high-risk defendants obtain release before trial while low-risk de-

Take us with You!

fendants often are detained. The tool is intended to help judges better determine which defendants are high-risk and which are low-risk.

Noting the PSA uses an algorithm in determining its reports, McMahon said that – as he talks with prosecutors nationwide – the idea of relying on data-driven tools is becoming more accepted.

But, he cautioned, there is a danger in an over-reliance of such tools.

Judges conduct a “complicated analysis” of various factors – including a defendant’s threat to public safety and likelihood to appear in court – when determining bond, McMahon said.

He said the PSA does not – and should not – replace the experience and knowledge a judge, such as former Chief Judge Judith Brawka, brings.

“You can’t replace that with an algorithm,” he said.

In other news, McMahon provided statistics about the number of felony cases filed so far this year. As of June 30, he said, there were 1,079 felony case filings, compared to 1,003 in 2015.

OUR VIEW

Batavia should let buyer beware In the June 30 edition of the Batavia Kane County Chronicle, Batavia aldermen grappled with whether local city government should play a role in protecting homeowners from potentially unscrupulous contractors. At a recent Committee of the Whole meeting, aldermen discussed implementing a contractor registration program, which would provide the city with increased oversight and enforcement tools. The registration, in theory, would deter dishonest contractors from doing work in the city.

Under the proposal, contractor registration would be mandated for any work requiring a permit, Batavia Community Development Director Scott Buening said. Most contractors would pay an annual $100 fee, with discounts for certain types of contractors already licensed by the state government.

More importantly, the system would allow for the city to revoke the license of contractors who violate state or city building codes from doing business in Batavia.

In a nonbinding vote at the meeting, Batavia aldermen were deadlocked 5-5 on the topic, with four council members absent. The council plans to revisit the topic at a late July meeting.

Some aldermen, such as 7th Ward Alderman Dave Brown and 2nd Ward Alderman Alan Wolff, argued it is the responsibility of the city to protect its residents and that a registration policy would keep shady contractors away. However, not all aldermen agreed. We agree with 5th Ward Alderman Kevin Botterman’s assessment that the city would be involved with disputes that stem directly from a buyer-beware situation.

Buening acknowledged that sometimes homeowners allow themselves to accept the services of someone who simply shows up at the door or may be complicit in the failure to obtain the necessary permit.

Fourth Ward Alderman Susan Stark was blunt in her assessment. “You can’t protect everybody from being dumb,” she said.

While we don’t contend everyone that has been hustled by a contractor is “dumb” and didn’t properly research before hiring them, it is always a homeowner’s responsibility to scrutinize anyone they invite to their home to provide a service – and a contractor is no exception. Services such as AngiesList.com or Yelp.com can provide good starting points in researching a potential contractor, while organizations such as the National Association of the Remodeling Industry also can be useful. Ask the contractor for his or her license and check it against the appropriate agency or at https://ilesonline.idfpr. illinois.gov/DPR/Lookup/LicenseLookup.aspx.

Ask the contractor for references and follow up with them – would they hire the contractor again?

There is no need for the city government to add more red tape and oversight. When the council grapples with this topic again in late July, we feel it should let buyer beware. Let’s not put yet another bureaucratic burden upon local businesses.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Making a difference in Cabo: The encore It’s funny how one spot on the globe can carry such great meaning and how a city can fill someone with so much joy. I’ve been back in the U.S. for a few weeks now, and still I can’t go a day without yearning to return to the place that rests not only on the tip of Mexico’s Baja California Sur, but also in my heart.

I was incredibly blessed to return to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, last month for another mission trip with First Baptist Church of Geneva. This year provided some new opportunities that I’m excited to share.

Cabo is a commercial area that draws a lot of tourists, but that’s not what makes this city so special to me. Rather, it’s the “other” side of Cabo that means so much to me – the side where homes are little more than shacks and families exist in unimaginable poverty. This side may be undesirable to some, but to me, it’s the very reason I returned to Mexico this summer.

The joy that these people have despite their grim living situation has always been inspiring, and their positive outlook on life

THE WRITE PLACE Emma Chrusciel has made me reconsider what it means to be truly content.

Our group divided up to serve at different work sites, including an orphanage and a church in the barrio. My week was spent working at Victoria y Libertad, a Christian private school that provides an education for preschoolers through middle schoolers. My Spanish is very limited, but as cliché as it may sound, the bonds I formed with these children defied the language barrier. By the end of the week, the smiles on their faces paled in comparison with the one on my own.

We also took part in work projects throughout the week – my site focused primarily on painting. My team even got to start a mural on one of the walls in bold and bright colors. Although the walls we painted and the mural we began didn’t seem all that impactful at first, I later

realized that we helped create a cleaner, more beautiful learning environment for the children I had come to care so much about.

Our week wasn’t entirely devoted to work – we went on a glass-bottomed boat tour, swam at the beach and shopped in the colorful markets downtown.

However, if you were to ask me what my favorite memories of the trip were, I would say it was being at the work site. After all, the boats and beaches were fun at the time, but it was playing with the children and beautifying the school that created timeless memories.

I mentioned earlier how awesome it is that one place can have such deep meaning. Now that I think about it, maybe it’s not the city itself that makes Cabo San Lucas one of my favorite places on the globe. Perhaps it’s the people there and their attitudes toward life that have truly resonated with me.

SOUND OFF

He wants control of us

I’m listening to President Obama talk about immigration reform and how he is always blaming Republicans for everything. You know, he keeps talking about unifying, and he keeps saying, “Well, Hillary can unify the parties … unify Congress.” And that man has done absolutely nothing from the day he got in office, except separate the country and drive a wedge between the country. He has promoted illegal immigration by giving illegal immigrants a pass on the law and giving them amnesty. And they have come to say, “OK, we can keep just disobeying the law all we want because another president will come, and another president will give us another form of amnesty.”

So now he’s upset because the Supreme Court doesn’t have his last appointee, which will do his bidding, and he talks about politicizing stuff. Well, the Supreme Court is supposed to be completely different from the executive branch of government. And the executive branch of government should not control the legislative or the judicial branch of government, so Obama wants control of everything – he wants control of us, he wants control of the government, he wants to make his own laws. He is not fit to be president of the United States, [and] has not been fit to be president of the United States.

He’s anti-American, he’s anti-freedom, and I think it’s time we get somebody like Donald Trump, even though I don’t particularly like Donald Trump.

Providing input

I’m calling about the proposed American flag memorial and the third bridge sculpture in Batavia. It would be nice to allow the residents of our community to have some input on these pieces of art. It sounds like there is only design choice for the flag memorial, and the bridge sculpture was already chosen by the aldermen only. I think it would be nice to be able to vote on these things. I wish we could of voted for the “arch” ... on River Street. Thank you.

The will of the people

Our government has disconnected from the people not only in Illinois but all over the country. Donald Trump won the nomination to be president from the Republican Party and the Republican voters, yet our government – Rauner, Mark Kirk and a bunch of others – have refused to attend the What is that doing? convention and support Trump.

What do Hillary Clinton and We, the people, voted for Elizabeth [Warren have in Trump. They can express their common?] You know they’re personal things in the polls condemning Donald Trump. when they go to vote because And what does that do to your vote is supposedly secret. our children, when we were brought up to say that anybody We know it’s not, but you know supposedly it is. When can become president of the the people have spoken, then United States? [Are] Hillary our elected officials and our Clinton and Elizabeth Warren only saying that only those ap- delegates should be there to proved by Clinton, Warren and support the will of the peocertain Republicans and certain ple, not their personal will. I personally don’t give one hoot Democrats are qualified to be in [heck] what these delegates’ president? What does it say personal opinions are. I think to the rest of the world when the people voted for Donald Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren and the rest of the nay- Trump to support the Republican Party. And, conversely, the sayers condemn Trump, who is a successful businessman all people voted for Hillary Clinton, over the world and has to have and so the delegates and the some sense of foreign policy in Democrats and Republicans should go to their conventions order to do business in other and support the people, and countries? What is that doing the press shouldn’t be dissing to the United States’ reputaeverybody. They should report tion? To me, it would seem the news without bias. to me that you shouldn’t be

To the editor: The most recent high-profile crime, the shooting up of a gay nightclub, once again stirred up the political debate over the availability of firearms. This writer has had enough of the political wrangling over his constitutional rights, specifically those simply spelled out in the Second Amendment. I have been waiting, for years now, for our leaders to state what is, to me, the obvious – the rash of shootings, while horrendous in nature, are the result of a huge societal problem and cannot be laid at the feet of an inanimate object, such as a firearm of any sort.

The debate begins anew for the banning of so-called “assault rifles,” which, apart from the misnomer, are not automatic weapons. For my part, you could stack those “evil” machines knee high in my home, and I would not be tempted to go out and shoot up any public place, wreaking carnage for the news media to revel in. The time has come, I think, to stop abridging my rights as an upstanding citizen of this once-great country only to vainly attempt to curtail the malfeasance of a few. The time is here for our leadership to look in the mirror if they want to find out what’s wrong and stop embracing evil as something “curable” by another law.

Respect for others is something that should be taught at mother’s knee, not something dumped on our school systems. We have bred generations of self-centered Americans, who show little respect for our society at large and have no concept of “The Golden Rule” which, simply stated, says, “Do unto others as you would have done to you.”

Stop fighting, America’s leaders, and begin leading. It is NOT all about you but rather about us.

U.S. diplomats join the warmongers

istration is infamous for its neocons, from Vice President Cheney, to national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, to Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, overruling the State Department to ignite criminal war.

We usually look to the career diplomats, whose experience and wisdom argues against unnecessary war, to keep the presidential warmongers at bay.

That’s why it is troubling that 51 career diplomats used the State Department “Dissent Channel,” a mechanism whereby diplomats can voice their dissent without fear of career reprisal, to argue for more bombing of the elected Syrian regime of President Assad.

They’re upset by their claim Assad is violating the tenuous civil war cease-fire, arguing we can bomb him to eternity without fear of Russian intervention on behalf of their ally.

Gen. Carl Philipp Gottfried von Clausewitz (1780-1831) was a political theorist who wrote to the effect in his famous tome “On War,” “War is the continuation of politics by other means.”

Alas, that wise aphorism is lost on the diplomatic corp[s] we should be relying on to avoid more murderous and criminal war. Too many of them are joining the neocons outside of State to twist von Clausewitz’s wisdom into “War is America’s first diplomatic choice to control the world.”

Assault rifles are designed to kill as many people as possible in a very short time. There is absolutely no reason for the average citizen to own such a weapon of mass destruction.

All assault weapons should be banned, except for use by the military and law enforcement.

NEIGHBORS

The truth and laughter as I see it Greetings, still, from Sorry City (the place where that apology word is used to excess and not appreciated in lieu of getting on with it). Note that it was John Wayne in “She Wore a Yellow Ribbon” who said to a young cavalry officer, “Never apologize ... it’s a sign of weakness.”

Ah, but one hastens to get to the five-star list of those who have been such capable and dedicated helpers to me. Hats off to Gabby, Danielle, Dee Dee, Brenda and Sophia. Bertha knows where it’s at (inside joke)!

Alecia and Roberto and my Polish R.N., Alice, who helps me dream about pierogi and cabbage rolls. Michelle, the wound care nurse, dresses my ripped leg so I am fit and ready to stroll. Next stop – home.

Moises, Augie and Rafael are now in the Hall of Fame, and their numbers have been retired.

By the way, I discovered a right-on quotation in a book review that should be the new subtitle to “Joan Knows.”

JOAN KNOWS Joan Arteberry “If you are going to tell them the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they will kill you.”

The quote was attributed to a vague “as the saying goes,” but through an internet search and the wisdom of my favorite college professor, Albert Vanthournout, it appears to be from the pen of George Bernard Shaw.

Another comment is tossed to Mark Burger downtown.

There is a wonderful market here for buttons, that read “Hocus Pocus.”

Lots of folks seem to think that if an item runs out, it will be replaced by magic ... .

Are we still laughing? Time to get serious.

I read that a health care system with a facility in Joliet held a man-

datory “boot camp” for nurses in response to a slew of highly negative satisfaction surveys. To heighten what was identified as a lack of sensitivity, participants were required to, for example, drink water and then sit on a bed pan for a half hour.

Before you let out three cheers, let me ask why management, the folks who spend money on marketing and corporate gain and not adequate staffing, mentoring and updated facilities, do not have a sit-on-it session? (I exclude from my passionate defense that nurses mount the throne of their medication cart and have call-light blindness.)

See you all in another two weeks when – Go, Cubs, go! – there will be more laughs.

“Farmer Closeout Welcome” ONE PIECE OR FULL LINE

Dick Anderson, a two-time Super Bowl winner with the Miami Dolphins, said, “If we have the opportunity to rebid, we will do so.”

In today’s deal, what should South rebid? How should the auction then proceed? Also, how should South plan the play in four spades after West leads the club king?

South should raise two diamonds to three diamonds. The alternative of two no-trump is unappealing with that weak heart holding. If three notrump is the best contract, probably (though not certainly) North should be the declarer. (Do not rebid two spades. Bend over backwards never to rebid in a five-card suit.)

After South’s raise to three diamonds, North should jump to four spades. Double fits are delicious and generate more tricks in the play than the combined point-count would typically suggest.

South is faced with a potential loser in each suit. There will be a strong temptation to lead a heart to dummy’s king (West should signal with the 10 and East with the queen, both playing the top of their touching cards when they cannot win the trick) and to take the trump finesse.

Here, though, West will win with his king, cash the club queen, and lead a heart. When East gets in with the diamond ace, he can cash the heart jack to defeat the contract.

The spade finesse is a black-suit herring. South should cash his spade ace and play another trump. West wins, takes the club queen, and shifts to hearts, but declarer wins that trick on the board, draws the last trump, and drives out the diamond ace. He loses only one spade, one diamond and one club.

A MESSAGE FROM SPACE

St. Charles boy gets out-of-thisworld experience

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com

For 12-year-old Gabe Valenzano of St. Charles, June 30 wasn’t any ordinary summer day.

It was the day that – through the wonders of technology – he got to participate in a question-and-answer session with an astronaut who was at the International Space Station.

The Gail Borden Public Library in Elgin offered the opportunity for kids to live video chat with astronaut Jeff Williams.

The event also featured a video conference with Elgin native Hal Getzelman, the lead capsule communicator for the International Space Station. He was at NASA in Houston, according to the library.

Gabe’s mother, Lisette Valenzano, described the event as “absolutely amazing” because the participants knew the astronaut was speaking to them.

Due to time constraints, Gabe wasn’t able to ask Williams a question but did get to speak to Getzelman, his mother said.

“It was such a great experience, and we were really lucky to be offered the ability to experience that, him specifically,” she said.

Gabe, who is an incoming seventh-grader at Einstein Academy in Elgin, took time to describe his experience with reporter Ashley Sloboda.

What follows is an edited version of their conversation.

Ashley Sloboda: What did you want to ask the astronaut?

Gabe Valenzano: What I did ask

[Getzelman] was will NASA ever figure out how to stop an asteroid from hitting Earth. What I wanted to ask was what does it feel like when you hit zero gravity.

Sloboda: What was the answer for the question you did ask?

Valenzano: He said it might be pos-

sible, probably not because they have to figure out all the calculations. They would have to figure out where to put something that would stop it and what would stop it.

Sloboda: What was it like to be in the room with people speaking directly with an astronaut at the International Space

Station?

Valenzano: It was kind of cool, know-

ing there was a real-live astronaut right there. Listening to other people talking, asking him questions, is [was] just kind of amazing.

Sloboda: What was the video quality like? Did it seem like you were talking with someone in space, or was it like you were talking with someone in town?

Valenzano: You can tell he was out

in space. You can tell that he’s floating.

How it sounds – it doesn’t sound normal, and the delay.

Sloboda: What was the delay like?

Valenzano: When somebody asked a

Local students ask questions of Jeffrey Williams, an International Space Station astronaut (not pictured), at the Gail Borden Public Library in Elgin on June 30.

Valenzano: Yes, it was very easy to see.

Sloboda: Was he wearing an astronaut suit?

Valenzano: No, just a gray shirt and pants.

question, it would take two or three seconds before the person in space got it.

Sloboda: What did you like best about the experience?

Valenzano: Seeing an actual astronaut

Sloboda: Can you describe how he sounded?

Valenzano: Kind of a bit staticky.

in space and being able to believe it and being able to tell all my friends. You can just tell he was in space because of zero gravity.

There were some cutoffs.

Sloboda: Could you see things on the video clearly?

Sloboda: Was he moving?

Valenzano: Yeah, you could also tell

because one of the questions was do you still play with your food in space. He actually took some food off the rack, and it’d just float. He’d spin it around and stuff.

Sloboda: Would you ever want to go to space, if given the chance?

Valenzano: Yes, I would definitely want to go.

Sloboda: Is there anything else you want to say about the chat?

Valenzano: It’s kind of hard to explain

what it feels like. It’s just like you’re there and it feels like it’s over in an instant, ’cause it’s just amazing that you’re seeing this person who’s just completely miles and miles away.

Geneva’s RiverPark offers free summer concerts in July

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com

Photo provided

Northside Brass, led by Geneva High School graduate Ryan Hobbs, will be the first to perform in the RiverPark Summer Series in Geneva. That show will take place on July 10.

Need To Be Seen Radio Troupe will perform July 17 and the Geneva Jazz Ensemble on July 24. All concerts start at 6 p.m. In the case of inclement weather, the concerts will move inside the United Methodist Church of Geneva, 211 Hamilton St., Geneva.

GENEVA – The Geneva Cultural Arts Commission is sponsoring the eighth annual RiverPark Summer Series of free concerts in the park’s stone amphitheater at North River and Peyton streets, just north of State Street.

The series begins at 6 p.m. July 10 with Northside Brass, which is led by Geneva High School graduate Ryan Hobbs, said summer series organizer Mary Jean Bankman.

“They are a big sound for five people,” Bankman said. “They do such a wonderful range of music, from classical jazz, Dixieland and New Orleans-style brass.”

The Need To Be Seen Radio Troupe follows at 6 p.m. July 17, which is Bankman’s troupe. She started it six years ago, following a suggestion to offer old-time entertainment at RiverPark.

“There’s eight of us,” Bankman said. “The audience tends to appre-

ciate comedies.”

The radio troupe will do three plays,“Topaz Flower,” a comic mystery; “Jimmy Search,” a take-off on a jungle series; and the “Magnificent Montague,” also an old-time radio show, Bankman said.

The Geneva Jazz Ensemble will conclude the series at 6 p.m. July 24, featuring a night of big band music, headlined by Geneva resident Nancy Werve.

Though the concerts are free, donations to the Geneva Cultural Arts Commission are appreciated.

Attendees should bring lawn chairs and blankets and are welcome to bring picnic dinners as well, Bankman said.

In case of inclement weather, performances will be moved inside to the Fellowship Hall of the United Methodist Church of Geneva, 211 Hamilton St., Geneva.

editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – Saturdays are family days for the Parsons family of Sugar Grove.

Sugar Grove resident and Assistant Fire Chief Wayne Parsons has been involved with woodworking since his high school days, and he has continued the hobby long into adulthood, Parsons and his wife, Cathy, who handles the painting, are coming back after a lengthy break from selling their goods.

They set up shop on Saturday mornings at the Sugar Grove Farmers Market.

What brought them back was granddaughter Cat Tucker, who makes blankets and was looking for an outlet to sell them.

“It’s good time spent with the family,” Cathy Parsons said. “My granddaughter was looking for somewhere to sell her blankets [and] we thought it would be a good idea to get back out here, so here we are.”

The Parsons share their creations with their four children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Birdhouses, spice racks, toy boxes and other assorted decorations were on display June 25 at the farmers market, and will be available throughout the

summer.

“I’ve had some people over the years come up and tell me what they want and I’ll make it for them,” Wayne Parsons said. “You get some people who want little stools for the kids so they can reach the sink in the bathroom and some people just have their own ideas in mind.

I’ve made a lot of different things over the years.”

Wayne Parsons said his toy boxes and birdhouses are plain until his wife paints them.

“Cathy knows that it’s a 50-50 deal,

and whatever money we make is going to go back to her anyway,” Wayne Parsons said with a laugh. “So that’s part of it.”

They’ve been making things for more than 30 years now, and are happy to be back at it, the couple said.

“It’s a lot of fun to do this,” Cathy Parsons said. “And it’s especially nice to get out here on Saturdays to see all the new kids and people who come through here, as well as the others who are out here every week.”

The couple couldn’t say if there’s a

made, they said.

Wayne Parsons said he gets his inspiration from the simplest of things, whether it’s from seeing something when he’s out and about, or in a magazine.

“There have been times that I’ve come across something that I liked so I went ahead and did something similar to it,” he said. “Other times I’ve seen stuff in the newspaper or a magazine, or someone will show me something or explain what they’d like and I’m able to work from that.”

The Parsons, along with Tucker, are just one of the groups that highlights the weekly Sugar Grove Farmers Market.

A fresh take on Texas-style barbecue “Legends of Texas Barbecue Cookbook” (Chronicle), revised and updated since its first appearance in 2002, has much to support recommending it.

Galveston-based author, food critic and radio commentator Robb Walsh has added 32 new recipes to this volume, which also makes liberal use of archival photography presented in sepia tones covering a century of barbecue history.

Walsh also includes brief backgrounds of legendary pitmasters, as well as plenty of tips for home barbecue afficionados – from tools to techniques.

An excellent example of the detailed knowledge Walsh brings to the table is his recipe for Pulled Pork (below).

Pulled Pork

Makes about 3 pounds 1 bone-in Boston butt or picnic butt (4 to 5 lbs.)

6 Tbl. Stubb’s Hot Pork Rub (recipe follows) 2 onions, halved 3 cups Klassic Mop (recipe below) Kosher salt and ground black pepper Gaton’s Vinegar Pepper Sauce for Pork for seasoning Sprinkle the meat all over with the rub, pressing the rub into the meat. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. The next day, unwrap the meat and bring it to room temperature before putting it in the smoker.

Set up your smoker for indirect heat with a water pan, and put the onions in the water pan. Use wood

TOM’S COOKBOOK LIBRARY Tom Witom chips, chunks or logs and keep up a good level of smoke. Maintain a temperature between 210 degrees F and 250 degrees F. Place the pork in the smoker. After the first two hours, mop the pork every 30 minutes with the mop sauce, turning the meat at the same time so it will cook evenly. The pork is ready when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center away from the bone registers 200 degrees F. This will take about 12 hours total.

Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let rest until it is cool enough to handle. Then, pull the pork from the bone, removing and discarding any big chunks of gristle as you go. Shred the meat by hand and season with salt and pepper and vinegar pepper sauce. Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Stubb’s Hot Pork Rub Makes about 3 cups

1 cup salt 1/4 cup chili powder 1/4 cup paprika 1/2 cup garlic powder 1/3 cup cayenne pepper 1/2 cup ground dried rosemary 1/2 cup ground black pepper Combine all of the ingredients in a shaker bottle, cap tightly and shake the bottle to mix well. Store at

Combine all of the ingredients in a large soup pot and add water to fill the pot nearly full. If your barbecue has a firebox, set the pot on top of it and bring the contents to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves, then keep the mop at a simmer. If it doesn’t have a firebox, bring the mop to a simmer on the stove top. As the meat cooks, baste it with the mixture.

Klassic Mop

Makes about 4 quarts One 16-oz. box brown sugar One 12-oz. bottle Wesson oil 1/4 cup butter or margarine One 17-oz. bottle distilled white vinegar One 10-oz. bottle Worcestershire sauce Large pinch of celery salt 1 head garlic, cloves separated, peeled and crushed 4 to 5 onions, cut into large pieces 4 to 5 lemons, halved

1 cup sherry vinegar 2 cups rice vinegar 1 shot dark rum 2 Tbl. kosher salt 1 Tbl. cane syrup or molasses 1 Tbl. coarsely ground black pepper 3 serrano chiles, halved lengthwise 2 carrot spears In a saucepan, combine the sherry vinegar, the rice vinegar, rum, salt, cane syrup and black pepper; place over medium heat; and heat, stirring until the salt and syrup are dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool.

Transfer the cooled liquid to a 1-quart liquor bottle with a cap, then drop the chiles and carrots through the mouth of the bottle and cap tightly. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months – it gets better with age.

July often a busy time in the vegetable garden July is a busy month in the vegetable garden. It is time to harvest and enjoy the results of your hard work.

Proper irrigation and harvesting techniques are required if you want plants to continue to produce throughout summer. In addition, monitoring for diseases and insects allows for early management if needed. Weeds grow rapidly during the heat of the summer and, if allowed to go to seed, can increase your weed problems in subsequent seasons.

We are not usually fortunate enough to have rainfall that is consistent during this time of the summer, so the best approach is a soaker hose in the vegetable garden. I usually put this in place when I plant my garden, so I don’t have to disturb growing plants later.

This also allows me to do some of my work in the cooler months of spring. Just take care not to cut the hose while weeding as I have been known to do on several occasions.

Things had gotten serious.

“Come on over here. Sit down, please. OK, let’s have a conversation about what’s going on here.” It was “come to Jesus” time, according to Charlotte. Charlotte is 2. You read that right, 2. And she wasn’t havin’ it.

“I was like, ‘Man, am I busted for … wait, why am I busted?’” wondered her mom, my cousin Colleen.

I wondered, too. You never know.

“Oh yeah,” came Colleen’s Facebook reply, “the balloon (that I did not attempt to take) is not mine, and that’s OK. I told her, ‘OK, cool. Thanks for talking it out,’ and went back to putting away laundry, LOL.” But this was no laughing matter. To Charlotte, red-headed sprite Charlie, this was serious business. And kudos to you for taking her concern seriously, Mom.

Jennifer DuBose Points for that! Plus, you’ve obviously beautifully modeled calm conflict resolution. Nicely done. But wait — you attempted to abscond with a balloon that wasn’t yours? Tsk, tsk … did you or didn’t you?

I bust a gut laughing when I read this. I woke up the cat. I laughed until I cried.

Because I can relate.

18 Breathe deep to lower blood pressure Dear Dr. K: Could stress be causing my high blood pressure?

Dear Reader: You bet it could. It surely contributed to my high blood pressure.

Most of us experience a lot of stress. I’m not sure today’s world is more stressful than the world of our parents or grandparents.

We may have different stressors than they did, but life has always been full of stress.

High blood pressure (hypertension) is on the rise. Like you, my patients often wonder if one (stress) is causing the other (hypertension). It turns out that stress can raise blood pressure, sometimes impressively.

The fortunate flip side is that reducing stress can lower blood pressure, and also tends to improve overall well-being. Deep, slow breathing is the oldest and bestknown technique to decrease stress.

Let’s take a step back to understand how stress affects blood pressure. Stress revs up the autonomic nervous system -- particularly the part that makes the hormone called adrenaline. This system directs many processes in our bodies that we don’t control with our consciousness, like our blood pressure and heart rate. For example, we consciously decide to lift a pan to the stove. But when our blood pressure gets a little low, our autonomic nervous system recognizes and corrects that: We aren’t even conscious of it.

For much of human evolution, our autonomic nervous system has protected us.

When threatened, it helped us to do battle or to run -- the so-called “fight or flight” response. But today this response is rarely needed and can even be harmful. (An imminent deadline at work should not trigger the same stress response as an imminent attack by a lion.)

We can interrupt our stress response by modifying our reactions to its triggers.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff Simply taking a deep breath is one way to start. I spoke to my Harvard Medical School colleague Dr. Naomi Fisher, an endocrinologist at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital. She advises her patients, particularly those who are prone to stress, to incorporate deep breathing in a daily routine.

One beginner method is called equal breathing. It is based on inhaling through the nose for a count of four and exhaling for a count of four. With time, this cycle can be prolonged to counts of eight in, eight out. Another method, called guided visualization, encourages users to hold on to calming mental images as they breathe deeply.

There is only one non-drug treatment approved for hypertension by the FDA, a device called RESPeRATE. It uses musical tones to guide deep abdominal breathing.

Its goal is to reduce the number of breaths to under 10 per minute, and to prolong each exhalation. Clinical trials have shown that daily RESPeRATE use lowered blood pressure, sometimes as much as a blood pressure pill would have. This lowering effect also lasted long after each session.

Deep breathing may or may not eliminate the need for blood pressure medications, but it can be helpful. And if you can do it, think about how you might be able to reduce the major stressors in your life.

PUZZLE SOLUTION

CROSSWORD

PUZZLE ANSWERS

Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY have an 8-yearold stepson, Jeanne “Kaden,” whom Phillips I love dearly.

Kaden spends the bulk of his time with his mother on the other side of the country. When he comes to visit us in the summer, his clothing and shoes are always ragged and a few sizes too small.

My husband pays child support and buys Kaden a new wardrobe every six months. Yet every time he comes to us, he’s never wearing anything his dad and I bought him, but what appear to be hand-me-down rags. We have spoken to the mother many times about it, but nothing changes. We feel if we stop buying clothes for Kaden it would punish him, when it is his mom who isn’t spending the child support money on the boy. We have paid for extracurricular activities (sports) only for her to not take him there.

She lies and says he doesn’t want to go, but we get a different story from the boy. He says she says, “Judo isn’t a real sport.” He has gained weight and we don’t want him to be picked on for it. The state where the boy lives is not good about giving fathers custody of their kids, and the mom is not necessarily unfit. How can we make her see she’s hurting her kid? – Mother Doesn’t Know Best Dear M.D.K.B.: You can’t “make” another adult do something she isn’t inclined to do. However, what you can do is enroll Kaden in sports programs when he visits you during the summer months. You and your husband can also talk to a family law attorney and find out at what age Kaden will be able to legally request to be placed with you. While a young child may not be able to do this, I believe a teenager can make a compelling case for it. If Kaden’s mother has been depriving him, it would make a persuasive argument for a change in custody.

Dear Abby: I really like this guy named “Gary.”

He’s super sweet, funny, cute and just incredible.

He’s my brother’s friend.

I’m in sixth grade and he’s in fifth. I think he might like me back. He asked me to follow his new Instagram account, and when I told him to tell my brother hi, he stared at me for a few seconds longer (plus he was smiling the whole time).

One of my girlfriends sort of likes him, too. What do I do? How do I tell him I like him? Is it OK for me to ask him to go to the park? His brother and my brother could go, too. Please help me. What do I do? – Girl in El Paso, Texas Dear Girl: If Gary wants you to follow his Instagram account, it’s a pretty good sign that he has positive feelings for you. If you want to ask him to go to the park, and your parents don’t mind, go ahead and do it. But let me offer a couple of suggestions: If you ask him, DO include your brother and his brother because being with others will make it more fun. And, everybody loves a compliment. The compliment doesn’t have to be as blatant as “I like you,” which could embarrass some boys his age. A simple, “I think you’re great because (you’re really smart, you’re good at sports, you’re fun to be around, etc.)” should do the trick.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a responsible 14-year-old girl. I get good grades and help out at home. All of my friends hang out at our local mall.

My mom promised that I could also go to the mall for two hours at a time, three times a month to be with my friends.

Now Mom says that I can’t go by myself, and that when I do go, an adult has to tag along with me. When I asked my mom why she broke her promise, she said that moms have a right to break promises.

I say that a promise is a promise. Your opinion, please. – Name-

less, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada Nameless: Promises should be

kept unless there is a reasonable and logical reason for breaking them. Your mother should have kept her promise.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a rather shy 19-year-old guy. When I was in high school, I wasn’t very popular because I chose to be a loner. I graduated from high school with good grades and I’m now working in my father’s insurance office. I don’t really enjoy the work, but I can use the money to pay for my car expenses.

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace I would really like to start dating girls, but I don’t know where to start. The girls who attend my church consider me a dork. Maybe that’s true, but if it is, it’s because I’m so shy. I enjoy watching sports, going to the movies, eating out and listening to music. All my relatives tell me I’m nice looking and I sort of believe them because I’m told that I do have a big friendly smile.

I’m sure that if I were not so shy I’d have a steady girlfriend by now. I also know that my shyness has caused me to have low self-esteem.

So I have been trying hard to improve in this area also.

My question for you is – where do I go to find someone to go out with? Please don’t tell me to visit the library, the supermarket, or the local mall. I’ve already done that with negative results. – Ken,

DeKalb.

Ken: Let’s start with the basics.

You are not going to meet Ms. Right in some chance encounter in the Produce Section, or at the Library, or the Music Store, or any other anonymous public place removed from the reality of your life. Your best chance to meet girls is in the middle of life, in the course of doing what you enjoy.

And since even at church you have low self-esteem issues carrying over from high school (as many people do) I recommend embarking on something new and different, where you have a chance to be the new you. For instance, have you thought about college?

You live in DeKalb, home of Northern Illinois University; and Kishwaukee Community College is located in nearby Malta.

Check into the possibility of taking a course or two in the evenings at one or both of these fine schools. There you will be stimulated intellectually and open up the possibility of meeting many young women who share common interests with you. Give it a try and be friendly!

TELEVISION 2:07 a.m. on _ WLS Greatest Hits Though this series started out by highlighting songs from the early 1980s, it takes a mighty leap forward by skipping to the years 1995 to 2000 in this second telecast. Hosts Arsenio Hall and Kelsea Ballerini introduce the tunes, performed in most cases by the original artists — who include Backstreet Boys, Jewel, LL Cool J, Coolio and Hanson. John Legend, Meghan Trainor, CeeLo Green and Wiz Khalifa also appear during the hour.

Best Bets THURSDAY

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM The Big Bang Theory No one is happy when their laptop computer goes on the fritz, so imagine Sheldon’s (Jim Parsons) reaction when it happens to him in “The Solder Excursion Diversion.” Amy (Mayim Bialik) feels so bad for him, she buys him a new one — which prompts him to make a confession involving the old one. Raj (Kunal Nayyar) throws Leonard and Wolowitz (Johnny Galecki, Simon Helberg) under the bus over a fib they told their wives (Kaley Cuoco, Melissa Rauch).

7 p.m. on ) WGN DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Directed by former “Rookie Blue” co-star Gregory Smith, “Marooned” puts much of the team in a battle for survival in space.

Responding to a ship’s distress call, with the potential to use the vessel’s computer to locate Savage (guest star Casper Crump), they’re taken prisoner by time pirates. Only Professor Stein (Victor Garber) is left to save his comrades. Brandon Routh, Caity Lotz and Arthur Darvill also star.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Bones It’s a new beginning for Brennan and Booth (Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz) at the Smithsonian, and it doesn’t take long for a case to present itself in “The Donor in the Drink.” The investigation of human remains at a fish farm leads to an organ-harvesting probe, putting Angela (Michaela Conlin) on the trail of someone involved in the actual brokering. Cam (Tamara Taylor) ponders the personal choice she’s made. TJ Thyne also stars.

7:31 p.m. on ^ WBBM Life in Pieces Greg (Colin Hanks) overindulges when he joins the gym Colleen (Angelique Cabral) belongs to in “Party Lobster Gym Sale.” Heather and Joan (Betsy Brandt, Zoe Lister-Jones) try to keep their garage sale quiet, since Joan (Dianne Wiest) also is staging one.

While Heather and Tim (Dan Bakkedahl) are gone, Tyler and Samantha (Niall Cunningham, Holly J. Barrett) have a party. James Brolin and Thomas Sadoski also star.

8 p.m. on ) WGN Beauty and the Beast Vincent and Cat (Jay Ryan, Kristin Kreuk), working against each other? That can’t be good for their still-young marriage, but it happens in the new episode “Beast of Times, Worst of Times.” Yet another enemy targets Vincent, who’s forced to skirt the boundaries of the law — which automatically puts him at odds with Cat. Tess (Nina Lisandrello) isn’t happy about the situation, either. Austin Basis, Michael Roark and Nicole Gale Anderson also star.

FRIDAY

8 p.m. on @ WFLD Home Free Anyone who watches a show about home construction or improvement knows that meeting building-code requirements is essential — and that’s what poses a problem for a contestant in the new episode “Boulevard of Skill vs. Will.” Unless the situation is corrected promptly, someone’s goal of creating and winning a dream house may evaporate quickly. Mike Holmes and Tim Tebow are the hosts.

8:59 p.m. on ^ WBBM Code Black Angus (Harry Ford) has mixed feelings when his brother (guest star Tommy Dewey), a celebrated doctor, seeks a job at Angels Memorial in “First Date.” Christa (Bonnie Somerville) becomes increasingly drawn to Neal (Raza Jaffrey). A patient (guest star Jesse Bradford) takes too much of an interest in Malaya (Melanie Chandra) for her comfort.

Jillian Murray also continues her guest role.

Marcia Gay Harden and Luis Guzman also star.

9 p.m. on % WMAQ Aquarius The addiction troubles of Shafe (Grey Damon) become increasingly troublesome, to the point where they may derail his professional mission, in the new episode “Revolution 9.” A blackmail victim appeals to his friend Hodiak (David Duchovny) for help.

Bobby Kennedy (Scott Bailey) may fall prey to Karn’s (Brian F. O Byrne) machinations.

Grace (Michaela McManus) develops a passion for politics. Gethin Anthony, Emma Dumont and Claire Holt also star.

1:07 a.m. on _ WLS BattleBots Football star Vernon Davis is the guest judge in the new episode “We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Bracket: The Round of 32 Part 1,” reflecting the number of teams that will advance to the next stage of the competition.

The means of getting there is to survive three-minute rounds intended to put the losers completely out of the arena. Fon Davis and Jessica Chobot also are on the judging panel. Samantha Ponder of ESPN is the host, with Chris Rose offering play-by-play.

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM NCIS: Los Angeles Deeks (Eric Christian Olsen), a murderer?

Not likely, but that doesn’t prevent him from becoming the prime suspect in the death of his former partner in “Internal Affairs.” His colleagues believe in his innocence — Kensi (Daniela Ruah) more than anyone — and they set out to clear him. Pamela Reed (“The Right Stuff”) reprises her guest role as Deeks’ mother. Chris O’Donnell, LL Cool J, Linda Hunt and Renee Felice Smith also star.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Shark Tank This episode showcases more products and services made in America, including a method of starting a fire, devised by two men from Utah. A West Virginia couple wants to take a product from their restaurant national. Fitness devotees from Fargo, N.D., come up with exercise equipment that conserves space — but also costs a bundle. Mark Cuban. Lori Greiner, Kevin O’Leary, Robert Herjavec and Daymond John are the Sharks on duty here.

7 p.m. on ) WGN Masters of Illusion A good idea of what this new episode supplies is provided by the title “Extreme Levitations, Mind Melds, and Water into Wine.”

One might hope, however, that all three elements don’t occur simultaneously. Jonathan Pendragon, Eric Buss, Naathan Phan, Barry & Stuart, Chris Randall and David & Dania are the showcased illusionists. Dean Cain is the host. Another episode follows.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Rosewood Rosewood (Morris Chestnut) is determined to celebrate his nine-and-a-half-month partnership with Villa (Jaina Lee Ortiz), but it lands them in a case involving their confidential informant Julius “Joo-Joo” Beeman (guest star Kamal Angelo Bolden) in “Hydrocephalus & Hard Knocks.” There’s a twist: This time, JooJoo is the prime suspect. As Rosie and Villa dig for the truth, they discover a new side to the man. Joy Bryant and Tia Mowry-Hardrict guest star.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Hawaii Five-0 Carol Burnett reprises her recurring guest role as McGarrett’s (Alex O’Loughlin) Aunt Deb in “Ua ola loko i ke aloha” (Hawaiian for “Love Gives Life Within”). She returns to Hawaii for a personal reason that also impacts McGarrett’s sister Mary (returning guest star Taryn Manning, “Orange Is the New Black”).

The visit coincides with Five-0’s search for

explosives that date back to World War II, and are prone to detonate at any time.

8 p.m. on ) WGN Penn & Teller: Fool Us The title “An Egg-Cellent Trick” suggests it wouldn’t be inappropriate to have some bacon around to make a complete dish. Derek Hughes, Reuben Moreland, Suzanne and Jared Kopf are the final illusionists — for this round, anyway, since the series will be back — who get the chance to stump Penn & Teller on how they do their tricks. Those who manage that will land a spot in the duo’s Las Vegas show. Jonathan Ross is the host.

9 p.m. on ^ WBBM Blue Bloods The murder of a mobster could set off a war in the streets of New York unless the police move fast in “Cursed.” Danny and Baez (Donnie Wahlberg, Marisa Ramirez) quiz an underworld deputy, hoping to get information in time to stave off related violence. Frank (Tom Selleck) mulls an officer’s (guest star America Olivo) request for a new badge number — the same one that belonged to late Reagan son Joe. Michael Badalucco (“The Practice”) also guest stars.

9 p.m. on _ WLS 20/20 In a new “Special Edition” of the newsmagazine, Diane Sawyer talks again with Jaycee Dugard, who was kidnapped and held prisoner by a couple for 18 years — during which time Dugard gave birth to two daughters. The occasion for this conversation is the imminent publication of her memoir “Freedom: My Book of Firsts,” dealing with her assimilation back into society and experiences she had in the outside world for the first time in almost two decades.

9 p.m. on + WTTW The Great British Baking Show Biscuits are the basis of this new episode of what is airing as the series’ third season in America. It’s not hard to deduce that one of the challenges involves biscotti, and that’s actually how the hour begins for the 11 bakers still in the competition. Puff pastry arlettes form the technical contest, and the Showstopper round truly is that here — since it revolves around creating a box with 36 (count ’em, 36) different varieties of biscuits.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Gauge what is going on around you before you put money or your word on

10 p.m. on + WTTW A Few Good Pie Places This special from producer Rick Sebak (“An Ice Cream Show”) is what the title implies: a look at some choice spots across America where patrons can sample a wide array of flaky baked yumminess. The hour includes a “pie shed” in Vermont that’s open 24/7 so customers can sate their pie frenzy even in the wee hours. It also includes events such as Minnesota’s Braham Pie Day, which captures Americans’ long-standing love affair with the dessert.

SATURDAY

SUNDAY

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

7 p.m. on _ WLS Celebrity Family Feud Snoop Dogg is in for a big night of “Fun & Games”: Not only do he and members of his family compete against Sugar Ray Leonard and some of the boxing legend’s relatives here, the rapper also is up against Martha Stewart on “The $100,000 Pyramid” immediately afterward. In this hour’s second contest — which was recorded before her father Muhammad’s recent passing — Laila Ali challenges Hollywood icon George Hamilton.

Steve Harvey is the host.

7 p.m. on + WTTW Dancing on the Edge An engagement for the band on England’s BBC Radio, facilitated by the patronage of Lady Cremone (Jacqueline Bisset) and the Prince of Wales, could mean big things for the musicians’ future in “Episode 3.” Louis (Chiwetel Ejiofor) is alarmed to see Jessie’s (Angel Coulby) condition in the aftermath of an attack.

Phil (Will Forte) and the other survivors have to answer that for themselves in “Secret Santa” ... which also refers to the traditional gift-giving exercise that Carol (Kristen Schaal) tries to initiate among the others. It shouldn’t take much for each person to figure out who gave them their present.

9 p.m. on ^ WBBM Elementary Morland (John Noble) is willing to help Sherlock and Watson (Jonny Lee Miller, Lucy Liu) with a case in “The Cost of Doing Business.”

The offer is tempting, since it will give the duo access to vast resources, but Sherlock remains hesitant about letting his father have an entry point to his professional life. John Shea (“Agent X”) and Reed Diamond (“Homicide: Life on the Street”) guest star. Aidan Quinn and Jon Michael Hill also star.

9:30 p.m. on + WTTW The Tunnel Unusual vibrations on the Truth Terrorist’s live-streaming webcasts provide clues to his possible location in the new “Episode 4.”

Karl’s (Stephen Dillane) subsequent efforts to apprehend him have a tragic result, and Elise (Clemence Poesy) thinks the criminal may have a very personal familiarity with Karl. Sophie (Mia Goth) worries about Benji’s (Paul Ready) behavior, which may be a product of the Truth Terrorist’s influence.

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM Angel From Hell After the broken romance that launched this series, Allison (Maggie Lawson) has a tough time getting back into the social scene in the new episode “Practice Guy.” That title is exactly what Amy (Jane Lynch) recommends to her, but the situation has a surprising outcome. Guest stars include Jonathan Togo (“CSI: Miami”), Henry Zebrowski (“Heroes Reborn”) and Constance Marie (“Switched at Birth”). Kevin Pollak also stars. Another episode follows.

10:30 p.m. on @ WFLD The Grinder It’s judgment day for Dean Sr. (William Devane) in “Full Circle,” the show’s finale, and it’s up to Dean Jr. (Rob Lowe) to clear his dad of malpractice charges when Stewart (Fred Savage) is taken out of the case. Others don’t think the younger Sanderson is up to the task. The identity of the person who schemed against the firm is revealed — and a “special surprise guest star” is promised.

7:30 p.m. on @ WFLD Brooklyn Nine-Nine Jake (Andy Samberg) may end up playing midwife at Thanksgiving when he watches over the pregnant wife of Terry (Terry Crews), who’s sent on a case with Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz), in “Ava.” The expectant mother’s water breaks, amping up the frenzy at the precinct that’s already been generated by an Internet outage. Holt (Andre Braugher) has an unexpected encounter.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Madam Secretary Playing detective as well as Secretary of State, Elizabeth (Tea Leoni) tries to find out who executed a uranium theft in Eastern Europe in “Left of the Boom.” That’s not the only international crisis on her plate, since she also deals with the capture of two U.S. teens — who allegedly had terrorist activities on their minds — in Saudi Arabia.

8 p.m. on _ WLS The $100,000 Pyramid Martha Stewart competing against Snoop Dogg isn’t the likeliest showdown, but their rivalry in this new episode of the game-show revival ultimately will indicate whether the culinary expert or the rapper has more skill at guessing categories. Host Michael Strahan presides over that contest, as well as the one in the hour’s second half that pits “Dr. Ken” co-stars Ken Jeong and Tisha Campbell Martin against each other to reach the winner’s circle.

8 p.m. on + WTTW Masterpiece Mystery!

“Coda” is the appropriate title of the new episode that concludes “Endeavour Season 3.” Morse (Shaun Evans) takes the exam to qualify for sergeant, coinciding with a murder investigation that could involve mobsters — one of whom has a personal tie to Thursday (Roger Allam). After a surprising suspect emerges, Morse and Joan (Sara Vickers) end up as hostages during a robbery at the bank that employs Joan. Thursday also deals with health concerns.

8 p.m. on @ WFLD Family Guy Mila Kunis long has been one of the voices on this animated comedy, and her “better half” — Ashton Kutcher — gets into the act by voicing his animated likeness in “Candy, Quahog Marshmallow.” He figures into the tale of an Asian television serial that Peter, Cleveland and Joe (voices of Seth MacFarlane, Mike Henry and Patrick Warburton)
