Mother of teen injured during stage production sues theater company

By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – A Cary-based theater company is being sued for alleged injuries to a teen taking part in a February 2015 production of “Aladdin” at the Batavia Fine Arts Centre on the high school campus.

Brought by her mother, the suit asks for more than $50,000 from Spotlight Youth Theater for the 15-year-old girl identified as Janie Doe, according to court documents, which state she struck her head on a low spotlight while performing the assigned task of picking up confetti at the end of the play’s first act.

Her attorney, Marion Morawicz of Chicago, stated in the documents that

her client “was severely and permanently injured,” citing disability, disfigurement and anguish.

According to the documents, Morawicz named Batavia School District 101 a respondent to access information related to the case. When contacted, the school district declined to comment.

The lawsuit argues the theater arts education company was negligent in the placement of the spotlight at about 5 feet off the ground on a pole near the area it designated participants use to exit the stage near the rear curtains.

The teen was about 5-foot-8 at the time.

While picking up the confetti, she stood up and hit her head on the stage light, according to the lawsuit.

A Kane County court date of Nov. 3 has been set.

“MY PERSPECTIVE” Almost forty years ago, the leaders of the local Methodist church envisioned Oak Crest. When it opened in 1980, I began as a volunteer, a role I enjoy even today. In 1984, my father entered Oak Crest where he received excellent care. In 1995 I was elected to the Oak Crest Board of Trustees, and served as president when we built and dedicated a new independent addition that opened in 1999. Fast forward ahead to 2015 and I am now a resident living in that very same addition. I have arrived!

What am I experiencing here in my new home? I’ll tell you, life at Oak Crest goes beyond delicious meals, a lovely apartment, security of life care, state-of- the art wellness programming and many social and educational opportunities. Life at Oak Crest means I discovered a big loving extended family.

DiAnne S

chmitt

My circle of friends has expanded and so is Oak Crest. We are looking forward to the completion of the new addition and new neighbors that we will soon call friends. I invite you to come and experience all that Oak Crest offers.

BIRDS

Batavia wildlife rehabber aids dove injured by oil

By BRENDA SCHORY

bschory@shawmedia.com

To help injured birds

BATAVIA – Baldy the pigeon looked out from his blue cage, his red-rimmed eyes sharp and bright, his new feathers just starting to cover his baldness from his head to his wings.

Volunteers for the Chicago Bird Collision Monitors found Baldy in a dumpster in Chicago, his feathers utterly ravaged by oil – hence his mad half-plucked chicken look.

He was brought to the Fox Valley Wildlife Center in Elburn in March, director Laura Kirk said.

“We’re not sure [the bird] was burned, but more likely it had gotten into some sort of oil – it could be cooking oil or motor oil,” Kirk said. “The feathers are damaged from the oil.

We have seen it before. It’s one of the more severe cases we’ve seen. It needs quite a bit of care and we have a lot of animals.”

Suzanne Campbell, a sixyear volunteer at the wildlife center, took Baldy to her Batavia home in July to foster him during his rehabilitation.

“She’s definitely one of our most dedicated volunteers,” Kirk said. “She comes every week without fail all year round. And she’s really good with the birds.”

That’s kind of an understatement.

Campbell lives with two cats, a dog and six birds – four ringneck turtle doves native to the Mediterranean and a Senegal parrot named Stella – all rescues. The doves cannot be released because, like the parrot, they are a non-native species, Campbell said.

“Someone got tired of them and let them go,” Campbell said of the turtle doves and the parrot. “They’re kind of here forever.”

Baldy is technically a rock dove – which is a nicer way of saying pigeon, Campbell explained.

“We’re not supposed to name them,” Campbell, 73, whispered conspiratorially as she took Baldy out of his cage for his bath. “He is a street pigeon – not a racing pigeon. He’s just somebody’s idea of a flying rat.”

Suzanne Campbell gives Baldy the pigeon a bath using Dawn dish soap. Baldy was found in a Chicago dumpster injured by oil. Campbell, a volunteer at the Fox Valley Wildlife Center, has been rehabbing the bird at her Batavia home.

Suzanne Campbell, a six-year volunteer at the Fox Valley Wildlife Center, took Baldy to her Batavia home in July to foster him during his rehabilitation.

Campbell held him so they could look into each other’s eyes for a brief moment.

“But he has a right to live,” she said, and started running the water in her kitchen sink to warm it up.

Campbell said she has been rehabbing him at her house since July because of the workload at the wildlife center.

“A thorough bath every day

for him is hard when we’re dealing with all those babies,” Campbell said, referring to orphaned baby animals the wildlife center takes in. “We’ve had like 3,000 animals there this year.”

Plus, Baldy spends most days in an outside cage where he grooms himself in the sun, something he would not be able to do at the center, Campbell said.

Baldy gets bathed with

Dawn detergent, following the protocols rescuers use for wild birds caught in oil spills, Campbell said.

Despite his daily bath regimen, Baldy’s remaining feathers are still thick with grease and he is unable to fly because of it, Campbell said.

Baldy just tolerates the handling in order to bathe him, and that’s fine with Campbell, as she wants him to retain his wildness when he is released.

“I expect by late this autumn, he will have fully moulted and, hopefully, he will be able to be released,” Campbell said.

Moulting is a natural process birds go through in which they shed old feathers and grow in new ones, she said.

“I am so proud of him – he can get this high off the ground now,” Campbell said, raising her hand about four feet from the ground. “He’s built up in strength and independence. I let the cats go in the cellar so I can let the birds out in the house on rainy days and he’s just come [along] amazingly.”

Campbell calls Baldy a “him”

although he could be a “her” – no one knows whether the bird is male or female, she said.

After Baldy’s bath, she carried him to his outside cage where he could dry off in the warm, summer sun.

“He loves the sun,” Campbell said.

A moment later, the parrot let out a bloodcurdling screech.

“Oh, shut up Stella,” Campbell said and sighed. “I never meant to live in a zoo, believe me. ”

School ties own record ACT score KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Batavia High School’s class of 2016 has tied the record for highest ACT score in the school’s history with a composite score of 23.6, a district news release said.

The results surpassed the class of 2015’s composite score of 23.4 and are higher than the last three years of BHS exam results. Both the state and national average for the class of 2016 was 20.8. The ACT scoring scale is 1 to 36, with 36 being the highest possible score.

The class of 2016 received the school’s all-time high scores in the English and reading sections of the exam, and are well above state averages, according to the release.

Batavia High School’s English score was 23.4 (state average 20.5) and the reading score was 23.8 (state average 21). The class of 2016’s math and science scores also were well above state averages.

Batavia High School’s math score was 23.5 and the science score was 23.1. The state average for both math and science was 20.6, the release stated.

“We are so proud of our students’ drive to excel in the classroom and beyond,” Batavia High School Principal JoAnne Smith said in the release.

The percentage of BHS graduates that could be expected to succeed in a first-year college course based on the ACT far exceeds the percentage of students statewide, the release stated. In college English com-

refreshments will be provided, and fire safety presentations for children will include letting them use a garden hose to put out simulated flames in a mock building, Jancauskas said.

A side-by-side room will show how sprinklers suppress fire. Extrication will be demonstrated, and a helicopter is scheduled to land. A variety of safety information will be offered, as well as tours of the station.

Jancauskas said that before

the public portion of the day, the department will assemble personnel past and present for photos that will be taken from overhead fire apparatus. The aerial perspective will copy previous photos of the Batavia Fire Department marking past milestones.

To help preserve the city’s history, Jancauskas said the fire department continues to gather the recollections of former personnel about major fires that will be made available online.

Dance videos to help charity fight cancer KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – The Children’s Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation is a nonprofit national health organization committed to finding a cure for neuroblastoma.

Batavia native and foundation Vice President Kenna Anderson joined CNCF to help raise funds for research and education. Her daughter was diagnosed at 15 months old with only a 20 percent chance of survival.

Today, her daughter is 25 years old and remains one of three people in the world with her type of neuroblastoma to

have survived long term, according to the news release.

During Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, neuroblastoma will be the focus of the #20forhope social media campaign to raise research dollars for a disease more common in infants than leukemia, but lacking in funding, the release stated.

On Sept. 20, the organization asks people to post dance videos of 20 seconds or more that day to social media using #20forHope, tag @cncfhope and their followers, and invite them to donate online at cncfhope.org and share their own dance videos on Facebook, Twitter and Insta-

gram.

Neuroblastoma mimics common childhood illnesses, according to the release.

It originates from immature nerve cells and manifests as a solid tumor most commonly in the adrenal glands above the kidney and in nerve tissues in the neck, chest, abdomen or pelvis. It primarily affects children younger than 5, the release stated.

Based in Bloomingdale, CNCF has contributed nearly $2.5 million to fund neuroblastoma research and education since 2005, the release stated.

In addition to windows, siding and doors, his firm offers insulation services. Schmidt notes he is a licensee in Illinois for Airkrete, a cement foam insulation with a high R-value that is nontoxic and fireproof. He said the product is well-known on the East and West coasts.

I respect the “The ability [for homeowners] to gravity of what I am doing.”

After 40 years, Hill to retire from Batavia Park District Doing the same thing for 40 years may seem treacherous or boring to some, but to Carla Hill, it’s been an adventure.

There’s been countless memories made, friendships developed, and there will be a lasting legacy. Hill announced her retirement in January after being part of the Batavia Park District family for 40 years.

Carla began her career as a volunteer at the Batavia Depot Museum.

As a young mother, she remembers watching the building move along Wilson Street to its current location at the Riverwalk. At the time, she had done some volunteer work at her children’s school and for various community events, but once she heard about the Depot Museum, she decided to volunteer there.

After only a few times of volunteering, the head of the Batavia Historical Society, Lucille Gustafson, approached Hill about the need for someone to operate the museum.

“I will never forget that day,” Hill said. “I was volunteering as a docent when Dr. Gustafson walked in, flustered, and explained that the new curator they hired decided to take another position. With that she looked at me and said, ‘You’re young, how would

“Chris [Winter] and I have worked together for 30 years, and retirement is going to be a hard transition for the both of us.

I’ve had the privilege of working with so many wonderful people and volunteers, and I have developed such incredible friendships.”

Carla Hill Batavia Park District employee you like a part-time job?’”

Hill reluctantly agreed to take on the role, which began as simply sorting through backlogged mail, basic office work, and opening and closing the facility.

“I hadn’t even talked to my husband about it,” Hill said, chuckling.

But as she has done so many times throughout her career, Hill jumped right in to help. Over the years, she brought a tremendous amount of growth and creativity to the position, adding exhibits and witnessing the expansion of the museum campus, which included the addition of the gazebo, Coffin Bank and water tower. She also got an opportunity to experience the growth of the Riverwalk and bike trail.

“There were still train tracks next to the building when I started, and the bike trails were just being developed,” she said. “Throughout the years I have watched the museum become such an

important part of our community.”

During her tenure at the Batavia Park District, Hill has worked with seven directors and has seen staff come and go. In her earlier days, she worked part time in the office at the Civic Center on Wilson Street in addition to taking care of the museum. For nearly 11 years she held both positions and eventually became office manager when the position opened up. Not only did Hill buy the district’s first computer, but she also bought the first software used for registration and the production of the brochure.

“I remember when I first started, they wanted me to type a program for a ballet recital,” she said. “I had no typing experience, but I had to learn fast.”

Eventually there was a need for the museum position to be full time. The Gustafson Research Center was added to the building in 2000, and the executive director at the time, Ralph Voris,

wanted to offer more programming and events at the museum. Hill then moved her office down to the museum and took on the full-time role alongside Chris Winter, who was working part time in the museum.

“Chris and I have worked together for 30 years, and retirement is going to be a hard transition for the both of us,” Hill said, “I’ve had the privilege of working with so many wonderful people and volunteers, and I have developed such incredible friendships,” she said.

Hill plans to stay on as a volunteer to help with the museum expansion project, but she is really looking forward to having some down time.

Hill also plans to stay involved in the community and volunteer with different groups in town. Throughout the years, Hill has been involved on the MainStreet board, Batavia Access and the local clothes closet. In 2005, she was named the Batavia Citizen of the Year for all her work in town.

During Hill’s last few months, she’ll be assisting in the hiring process of her replacement and looks forward to seeing the position grow and evolve with a new person at the helm.

“It only seems right that as the museum approaches its next great adventure that I step aside and let someone new take the leadership role,” she said.

BATAVIA – As Mike Schmidt celebrates the 40th anniversary of his Batavia company, Schmidt Exteriors, he remembers his first visit to job sites as a 6-year-old growing up in a family of carpenters.

“My job was to sweep, pick up and carry materials from one pile to the next,” said Schmidt, who by age 16 was running a carpenter crew.

He credits a mentor for teaching him the ropes of the window and siding business as he worked his way through St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa, by selling the home-improvement products.

And it was right after college that he launched his own business.

“It started out in my house way back, and then my wife looked at me and said, ‘I’m tired of salesmen and carpenters [in our home].’”

So after years of a home office, he opened a location in Carol Stream and then moved the business to Batavia seven years ago.

In part, he credits the firm’s longev-

‘A super smooth ride’ Project Mobility puts disabled in driver’s seat

By MARK FOSTER

By MARK FOSTER

editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – The crowd cheered as Kyle Moser took his new hand-powered, lowto-the-ground cycle for a spin.

The 24-year-old Marine Corps veteran lost both his legs at the age of 19 when he stepped on an improvised explosive device while serving in Afghanistan in 2011.

His new vehicle was a gift Hal f r o m P r o j e c t Honeyman Mobility, an organization that puts wounded veterans and other disabled people in the seat of a specially equipped cycle.

“It is a super smooth ride,” Moser said of his new wheels.

Moser, who soon will be moving to Batavia from Oswego, is moving on with his life, and is planning to open a coffee shop in downtown Naperville.

That’s just what Hal Honeyman, founder of Project Mobility and owner of The Bike Rack store in St. Charles, wants to hear.

“What can be fatal, especially for vets, is lack of engagement,” Honeyman said. “With the mobility of a bike they are engaged with their peers and with their friends and other injured veterans. It’s a first step in their recovery.”

Moser, two other veterans and two children with disabilities received cycles during Project Mobility’s fourth annual bike ride on Sept. 11.

The event attracted more than 200 bicyclists who rode anywhere from 10 to 60 miles to raise money for the cause, starting and ending at James O. Breen Community Park in St. Charles.

At the park, there was a festival of food and music, with business sponsors, speeches and a giant American flag fluttering in the breeze, reminding everyone of the 9/11 anniversary.

The centerpiece of the celebration was the presentation of the specially equipped bicycles – actually, tricycles.

With recent votes, city doubles down on downtown’s success editorial@kcchronicle.com

Wounded veteran Kyle Moser gets settled in a bicycle given to him by Project Mobility on Sept. 11 at Everybody Rides in James O. Breen Community Park in Campton Hills. Moser was wounded in Afghanistan and has been unable to ride because of his injuries.

Linda Brashears, 62, of Romeoville is an Army veteran who was serving on a forward operating base in Iraq in 2006, when she suffered a moderate traumatic brain injury during an enemy motor attack.

Her new pedal-powered tricycle with two front wheels provides her with the stability she needs.

“I have no balance,” Brashears said.

The reclining seat eliminates the abdominal pressure she would experience on a conventional bicycle. During the event, Brashears pedaled her new wheels seven miles, and said she believes the benefits will be more than just physical.

“It’s more of a mental prescription to get out and be with other people,” Brashears said.

Kevin Hanrahan of Wisconsin, a Marine Corps veteran wounded in Afghanistan, also received a cycle, but was unable to attend the event.

Rebekah Milz, 8, of Elburn received a shiny upright tricycle with a special safety brake and steering that her parents, Amy and Patrick Milz, can control from the rear of the vehicle while their daughter rides.

Milz is coping with some serious developmental disabilities, but was successfully pedaling ahead on her ride.

“The seating is more supportive for her needs,” said Amy Milz, who was working as a volunteer at the event.

“This is my opportunity to pay it forward.”

Also receiving a new set of

wheels was Keenan McLaughlin, 7, of Elmhurst. Keenan’s father Pat McLaughlin said his son is living with cerebral palsy.

“There’s no disability where we can’t find some kind of solution,” Honeyman said. “It’s just the right equipment with the right modification. It’s trial and error and persistence.”

Honeyman said his son Jacob, now 23, was the inspiration for Project Mobility. Jacob also lives with cerebral palsy, which affects his limbs and speech.

“He has a great attitude,” Honeyman said of his son.

Honeyman said that tandem bikes can be the solution for veterans who have lost their sight. He told the story of a big, powerful man who was blinded by an IED. His diminutive wife takes the lead seat.

“She provides the vision, and he provides the horsepower,” Honeyman said.

Minor Mobley, owner of Excel Automotive Repair in St. Charles, was the lead sponsor for the event.

“I want to give back to veterans who wouldn’t have the means to do so,” said Mobley, a Marine Corps veteran.

Former St. Charles Mayor Fred Norris was on hand to call attention to the 9/11 anniversary, and praised Honeyman for his efforts to help veterans.

“What Hal has done is phenomenal,” Norris said. “He’s put St. Charles on the map with a very important, very caring project.”

BATAVIA – Downtown Batavia is on the verge of something big. That’s how city officials view it, pointing to recent developments, particularly incremental successes along North River Street.

“People want to come here; they want to live here,” 2nd Ward Alderman Martin Callahan said.

It is that sense of optimism that seemed to propel a series of votes at the Sept. 6 meeting of the Batavia City Council, all designed to advance the One Washington Place redevelopment project.

City aldermen approved a downtown redevelopment agreement with Geneva-based Shodeen Construction, as well as the purchase of the insurance office at 121 E. Wilson St., the demolition of three city-owned properties, and the purchase of the Larson-Becker properties on North River Street.

Callahan described the actions as a continuation of the investment the city already has made in redeveloping North River Street. He said business owners are benefiting and working “to create what we want for our town.”

The city and Shodeen are working together on a downtown redevelopment project that will include 186 one- and two-bedroom apartments, a 356-space parking deck and 14,650 square feet of commercial space.

The massive structure would cover most of a city block now occupied by the vacant Baptist church, the insurance office, the old ServiceMaster building and the two-level city parking deck at North River and State streets. The city has yet to acquire the dentist’s office at 113 E. Wilson St., which also would be demolished.

To provide temporary parking for downtown businesses during the estimated two-year construction period, the city will use the Larson-Becker property along the west side of North River that it voted to acquire. The deal, for $1.25 mil-

lion, also includes properties on the east side of the street.

City Administrator Laura Newman told aldermen that the purchase will be “a very good investment for the city of Batavia.”

Most of the land eyed for temporary parking is on the west side of North River between State and Franklin streets, and, when combined with land already owned by the city, will produce enough room for 117 public parking spaces, Newman said.

Besides providing temporary parking, Newman said, the property could be used for easier access to the riverfront bike path, which now requires cyclists to dismount and climb stairs at the point where the pedestrian bridge and the Larson-Becker property abut.

Once the Shodeen project is complete, the city could decide whether the new parking deck and surrounding parking spaces are enough to satisfy demand, but the ultimate goal seems to be extension of the North River Street business corridor.

“Our hope is that the city will recapture its investment for redevelopment,” Mayor Jeff Schielke said. “North River is one of the last solidly developable river properties in the city.”

The city wants to finance the land purchase using revenues generated by the tax increment financing district it plans to establish in the area generally bounded by Washington Avenue and East Wilson, North River and State streets.

But not everyone is convinced. Fifth Ward Alderman Kevin Botterman cast a no vote on the series of actions taken by the council.

Resident Sylvia Keppel told aldermen they don’t need to buy the Larson-Becker properties in order to control what happens there.

“You’re rushing into this,” Keppel said.

Resident Yvonne Dinwiddie is objecting to the creation of the TIF district, contending that special tax districts “have not delivered results as promised.”

I had the pleasure of meeting Ed Gabrielse a couple of weeks ago at the St. Charles community garden as he prepared to harvest butternut squash. Ed is there almost every day, weeding, planting, harvesting and chatting with other gardeners.

He doesn’t do it all for his own bounty, though. He works several plots with other volunteers and donates the harvest to the Northern Illinois Food Bank.

It’s just a coincidence that my short time with Ed was my last time on assignment with reporter Ashley Sloboda. I think it’s very fitting because both Ed and Ashley are so wonderful, generous and giving.

Native plants make all the difference When was the last time you had an aha! moment?

You know what I’m talking about.

An abrupt realization that literally changes everything; a “Wait a minute!” dawning that causes you to see things in a different, often better, light.

I know I’ve had plenty, scattered over a wide variety of topics and an even greater number of years. There was the day back in 1965 when I tried on my first pair of pants with pockets.

Aha! Suddenly I could explore and collect stuff, and keep both hands free.

A game-changer for sure.

I could go on about the day I figured out how to whistle for a taxi, and tell you exactly where and when I discovered Chemex coffee brewers – another life-changing moment. But today’s column isn’t about me. It’s about my friend and co-worker, Jill Voegtle, and a particular aha! experience she had a while back. It was a breakthrough, for sure – a day she’ll never forget. But you know what’s really cool about it?

She’s sharing it with all of us.

The other day Jill gave me the details about when she realized, after a lifetime of gardening and a career in horticulture, what a tremendous impact even a small amount of native plants can have on a landscape.

“I had planted a 25-foot-long strip in the garden at my parents’ house all in natives,” she recalled. “I was standing there one day, looking at the plants, and I realized I was seeing things I’d never seen before.”

Not the blooms – although they no doubt were stunning. Nope. What Jill witnessed then, and what she continues to promote today, is the astounding interconnectedness between native plants and native wildlife. Insects buzzing, birds flitting – a microcosm of our local ecology centered around a 25-foot strip of land amid, ironically, lots of other carefully tended, but not native, plants.

“There I was, almost 30 years old, and seeing things for the first time,” Jill said. “A black wasp on rattlesnake master – I’d never seen a bug like that before. It was a lightbulb moment, for sure. Where would these animals go if these plants weren’t here?”

I know lots of folks are less enamored of wasps and things but also fond of, say, birds and butterflies. The thing is, really, all life is linked together.

“If you want those pretty things in your yard then, ecologically speaking, planting natives is what you have to do,” Jill said. “Take birds, for instance. What do they eat? What do they build their nests with? What do they feed their babies? Native plants give them everything they need.”

Turfgrass, Jill said, may be the

A newly planted plot in the Hickory Knolls Natural Area thrives against a dull background of Hungarian brome.

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto standard for yards in our area, but in terms of what it gives back to the environment, it offers next to nothing.

“You have to mow it, water it, feed it, and for what?” she said. “There’s really nothing helpful that it attracts.”

Realizing the importance of her discovery and, even better, wanting to share with anyone who’s interested, Jill this year took advantage of an opportunity in a plot within the Hickory Knolls Natural Area.

Planted in Hungarian brome, a once-common cover crop, this patch of space, although green, was about as ecologically dead as a suburban lawn.

“Hungarian brome is a runner grass – it spreads by rhizomes,” Jill said. “It really serves no ecological purpose other than covering the soil and not letting other plant species in.”

Herbicide made quick work of a 10-foot-by-25-foot patch of brome.

Then, this past May, as the busy spring planting season wound down, Jill began to put her plan into action.

Armed with a few extra flats of native plants that she’d started from seed and, amazingly, only a hand trowel, Jill carved out a strip of life amid the ecologically dead area.

“I couldn’t believe how great the soil was,” she said. “We were able to get the plants in, water them and then see them start to take off almost immediately.”

Wild quinine, little bluestem, prairie dropseed, whorled milkweed, prairie milkweed, foxglove beardtongue, sand coreopsis, rough blazing star and pale purple coneflower now fill the small patch amongst the brome. The contrast between the two areas is absolutely spectacular. And I’m not just referring

to shapes, colors and textures of the natives. The swirl of life above them, while the brome stands silent and untouched, is impossible to ignore.

The day I visited the natural area with Jill, we could see the activity above the plot from 10 yards away. As we approached, we spotted several different species of native bees, honeybees, assorted flies and beetles. A silver-spotted skipper, true to its name, skipped between the blooms, its silver spot flashing in the sun. All were taking full advantage of Jill’s pollen-and-nectar oasis there in the brome desert.

If you’d like to see for yourself the difference a patch of native plants can make, take a trip out to Hickory Knolls. Jill’s plot lies near what we refer to as Archery Woods, along a mowed path near the Blue trail on our site maps.

You’ll know it when you see it. And from your “aha,” we’ll know when you see it, too.

Elgin’s Short Film Festival brings Hollywood to the Fox Valley!

SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese If you don’t have a chance to get to Sundance in Utah, or to Cannes, France, you can still experience “a little bit of Hollywood” close to home. On Saturday, September 24th, the city of Elgin will present their 8th annual Short Film Festival at the Hemmens Auditorium in downtown Elgin.

Finalists will be chosen from FilmFreeway.com, a website where filmmakers upload their offerings for consideration. Various artists from the Elgin community watch every film and grade them with a rubric to determine the two top winners in each category.

To determine the third finalist in each category, the Short Film Festival is teaming up with the Elgin Fringe Festival to show three additional films in each category at the Blue Box Cafe on September 15th and 16th. The top film in each category, based on viewers’ votes, will be shown at the Short Film Festival.

Joe Vassallo, a member of Elgin’s Cultural Arts Commission, has helped coordinate the Short Film Festival each year. “I’ve always been involved with art and the creative process, from sound engineering to poetry,” said Vassallo. “But film is the medium where the creative process makes sense to me. This Short Film Festival is terrific.”

Tickets can be purchased from the Hemmens box office in advance, or on site the night of the festival. The red carpet comes alive at 6:00 pm, with photographers, live entertainment, interviews by Beacon Academy students, and the filmmakers’ arrivals in limousines. Turnout is always fantastic, with 500-600 people coming to see the winning films. Mike Toomey from WGN’s Morning Show will emcee, bringing fun, laughter, and audience participation to the event. For more information, please contact:

Each film is no more than 20 minutes long. The films to be showcased at the festival are selected by two committees, one focusing on live action and the other on animated films.

BATAVIA – Fresh off winning the title of Illinois Professional Orchestra of the Year for 2016 and last year’s Conductor of the Year through the Illinois Council of Orchestras, Elgin Symphony Orchestra is about to kick off its new season Sept. 17 and 18, led by music director Andrew Grams.

This weekend’s concerts will feature visiting violinist Simone Porter, 19, who will perform Tchaikovsky’s Violin Andrew Concerto, one of three Grams Russian works on the program, in a season that will highlight Russian masterworks. Porter, who made her international debut with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at age 13, performs on a 1745 Guadagnini violin.

“Simone Porter is a very young spectacular soloist I worked with for the first time [about] three years ago in California, and she was just a dynamite soloist,” Grams said.

The Shostakovich “Festive Overture” will deliver “fireworks, brilliance and dazzling virtuosity,” Grams

“It changes your relationship to the piece as a listener,” Grams said.

Among the ESO musicians taking the stage this weekend will be violinist Kathryn Siegel of Batavia, who learned to play at age 6 using the Suzuki method. Her instrument has pulled strings for a career with extended stints in Lisbon and Toronto before she arrived in the Fox Valley in 2001, and joined the ESO in 2004. Siegel said she’s looking forward to another season with Grams.

“He is such a great musician, a wonderful conductor [who] knows how to pull the music out of us,” she said of Grams, who took the reins in 2013 after an international conductor search.

He’s young and has so much energy.

We’re very lucky to have him.”

Siegel, who holds a master’s degree in music performance, said she landed her first full-time job in Lisbon, Portugal, with the Gulbenkian Orchestra, heard periodically on WFMT. She is a Zumba fitness instructor at the Fox Valley Ice Arena in Geneva, the Batavia Park District and Curves in Batavia.

“I like that it’s completely different music from what I do otherwise,” she said. “I make up my own choreography. That’s also very fun for me to do [and] creative.”

Biplane takes Holmstad veterans from Batavia aloft for Dream Flight

By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – “One of the best days of my life,” said Jim Crawford of Batavia, after flying aboard a vintage biplane Sept. 6.

Crawford was one of five veterans from The Holmstad, 700 W. Fabyan Parkway, Batavia, treated to the airborne excursion.

The men, ages 84 to 93, strapped on a canvas helmet, headset and goggles before taking off in the World War II-era aircraft for individual 20-minute Dream Flights courtesy of Ageless Aviation Dreams Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring seniors who are military veterans living in long-term care communities.

“It was the most beautiful flight I’ve had,” Crawford, a longtime Genevan, said of the restored Boeing Stearman bi-

time. It’s just a thrill.”

For World War II Army veteran John Faust, the flight exceeded expectations. “[We] did a bank around The Holmstad – it was wonderful to see the place from the air,” Faust said. “I’ve been up in planes a lot of times, but nothing like this. “This group [is] so great to give veterans a ride in this plane. The pilot was so good. He flew pretty low for 20 minutes. You could see everything going on. It’s an exhilarating experience. I would go up again today.”

ST. CHARLES – Kids have a new place to play in St. Charles.

Sisters-in-law Mansi, Shreya and Jigna Patel teamed up to create Fun Republic, a place that offers attractions for children of all ages, including those younger than 2.

The women, who are mothers themselves, said they have spent much of 2016 working on making their idea a reality.

They got the keys to their venue – Unit 16 at 731 N. 17th St., formerly home to family entertainment center Under the Big Top – in July and opened the last weekend in August, they said.

As Mansi Patel gave a tour of Fun Republic on its fourth day of business, she said it was “like a dream come true.”

Fun Republic – which has a tagline of “Where fun rules!” – offers an enclosed play area for kids 2 and younger; a bouncy house; an inflatable slide; a soft play area that features slides and a hand-powered train; and a play village where kids can dress up in outfits depicting various professions, including

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

LETTERS Area schools open on time thanks to recent compromise

To the editor: As public schools throughout the Fox Valley and the state of Illinois open on time and students return to the classroom, it’s important to recognize that this only happened because of compromise.

Earlier this summer, the possibility of schools not opening on time and teachers not getting paid was very real due to the long state budget impasse in Springfield. However, on June 30, legislators came together and voted to approve a six-month stopgap budget that included funding to ensure the new school year would start without delay.

The outcry from parents and teachers would have been deafening if we had failed to do this – and justifiably so. As the father of three, including one in high school and one who just started kindergarten, I shared the concern of many other parents about the impact on our schools if the politicians in Springfield did not get their act together this summer and pass a budget compromise.

My House Republican colleagues and I stood firm in our conviction that we could not stand by and allow our kids’ education to be held hostage in the Springfield budget battle. We were determined to take K-12 education out of the political crossfire, and we did. Yet this could not have been achieved if we had not stood together and kept pressure on the Democrats who hold a firm grasp on power in the Illinois House of Representatives.

As a freshman legislator, I have found that compromise in Springfield has been

far too rare. Democrats have controlled the Illinois House for all but two years since 1983 and have held a large majority in the state Senate since 2003. Consequently, they have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. This explains why they have refused to allow an up-or-down vote on any of the meaningful and long-overdue reforms proposed by the governor that would restore growth and opportunity to the Illinois economy and make state government more efficient and accountable.

Schools across Illinois have opened on time. We can and should be thankful for that. However, we’ll be right back where we started with another budget impasse and school funding being threatened unless legislators come together this fall and enact a budget with reforms that put the interests of families and taxpayers ahead of the special interests that have dominated Springfield far too long.

Jumping into junior year of high school I have officially been a junior at Geneva High School for close to a month, and as summer comes to a close, the full reality of being an upperclassman is finally setting in.

Since day one at GHS, I have been told that junior year is the most critical when it comes to my education and my future. This is the year I take the ACT and SAT, the year I start to visit colleges and the year I begin thinking about potential career paths. In other words, junior year is not something to be blown off or disregarded.

However, my experience with this academic year so far (granted, it has only been a few weeks) has been nowhere near as terrifying, overwhelming or stressful as some would have me believe. I love all my classes, and while the idea of college is constantly hanging over my head, I haven’t worked myself into a mental break-

THE WRITE PLACE Emma Chrusciel down about it yet.

I attribute this positivity to not allowing myself to become overly worried about something I have yet to fully experience. Sure, junior year could be the most draining year yet, but I won’t know that until I’ve actually gone through it. For right now, I’m trying to stay calm and not freak out unnecessarily.

I enjoy being an upperclassman for many reasons and not just because I’m finally one of the older kids at the school. Being a role model for the freshmen and sophomores to look up to carries huge responsibility, but it is one I am happy to have, especially

considering my sister is now a freshman. Now that I know what I’m doing (at least most of the time), I’ve been able to help some underclassmen get the hang of high school, and that’s an achievement I’m proud of.

While the prospect of college prep and choosing a potential career may be daunting, it helps that I can customize my schedule with relevant and thought-provoking classes. Now that most of my required courses are out of the way, I’m able to choose courses that relate to my interests and possible career paths. For example, I am taking a new course right now called Political Campaigns and Elections (shoutout to Mr. Hahn), which is especially relevant given that the presidential election is right around the corner.

I also am taking a speech class next semester, which I hope will help

develop my public speaking skills as well as my confidence in this area.

These classes are not only enjoyable – they also will hopefully be useful when it comes to college and life in general.

There’s a lot of hype about the pressures and stresses of junior year, but with my limited experience so far, I can honestly say that I think I’ll be just fine. As long as I keep a positive outlook, use my position as an upperclassman to help other students, and stay on top of my studies, I’m confident that this school year will be one of the best yet.

SOUND OFF Where’s the justice?

Talk about lack of justice, especially for the privileged. A Romanian hacker who first revealed that Hillary Clinton used a private email address while she was secretary of state was sentenced to more than four years in federal prison. He gets four-plus years; Hillary gets nothing. And she violated the U.S. law. What this man did was wrong, there’s no doubt about that. But he gets four years and Hillary gets nothing for violating her duties and endangering the country? What is wrong with this country?

Batavia’s money is misspent

The Batavia City Council thinks that lining the pockets of developers and taking care of downtown and the businesses downtown is more important than the residents in Batavia, specifically in Ward 1 where we have massive flooding and we need a couple million dollars to fix the flooding and fix the curbs and fix the sewers. But last night, they spent $1.25 million to buy some property downtown for some master plan of a new development.

No more TIF districts

When will the [tax increment financing districts] ever end in Batavia? How many more properties will the city overpay to purchase for the Shodeen project? The giving away of our tax dollars for private gain has to stop. By the way, how about using TIF money to overpay to purchase my Batavia house?

A beach house fit for the whole family

By JURA KONCIUS The Washington Post BETHANY BEACH, Del. – Last Thanksgiving, three generations of Bobbs filled a party bus headed to Bethany Beach in Delaware for the day to see the progress on their new beach house. The crowd of 20 walked gingerly around the just-framed home as family member and designer Jodi Bobb Macklin pointed out everyone’s bedrooms.

After a pit stop at Nicola Pizza in Rehoboth Beach, they headed home, fingers crossed that they’d be back there six months later, playing cornhole, layering shell gardens and kayaking.

Today, the two-story oceanfront house is cool and modern. A large basement has storage, laundry and direct beach access. “Everything had to be indestructible,” said Jodi, a designer whose work includes Georgetown’s historic Evermay mansion. She headed the project with brother Daryle Bobb, who has experience in home building. “Twenty people had to fit in multiple areas. It was a challenge,” she said. The 10-bedroom house has four master bedrooms, two bunk rooms, four guest rooms and 11 bathrooms.

There are two 13-foot-long kitchen islands and three outdoor showers.

The story of Camp Bobb started with Sandy, now 75, and Stanley Bobb, now 81. They always took their kids, Jodi, Tammy and Daryle, for an

Tupperware and rusty beach chairs.

They kept mattresses and a shell mirror, plus hundreds of family photos.

It was emotional. “I had a knot in my stomach as I drove away,” Jodi said.

Things moved swiftly. On Memorial Day weekend, the 7,100-square-foot house opened for the season with 60 bath towels, 44 pillows and 640 rolls of toilet paper. Everything was chosen with an eye for wear and tear. “We were very concerned about maintenance. With the sea mist, everything rusts and fades quickly,” Daryle said.

The main floor is light and bright.

As you walk in, a playful rattan sea urchin pendant lamp leads you down the hall toward the living area and the ocean. The heart of the house: a 24-by-27-foot screened porch with a Two of the 10 bedrooms have bunk beds and have trundle beds underneath for extra guests. large sectional, two powder-coated aluminum dining tables that seat 20, retractable Phantom Screens and annual vacation by the ocean.

There are as many investing strategies as there are diets and most of them aren’t “right” or “wrong” but have some elements of value. If you are looking for big earnings fast, you are getting awfully close to gambling. If you are looking for your money to be guaranteed and accessible, you are getting awfully close to putting your money under your mattress. Somewhere between the cookie jar and the gambling boat are strategies that have outlasted decades of market ups and downs. Warren Buffet’s basic strategy is to buy quality companies at a fair price and hold onto them. This has been and still is a solid long-term financial investing strategy. In reality, though, it can be painful to hold onto a stock as you watch it fall in value. Except for your age, there are very few things in this world that go up without going down.

Don’t assume you have a tainted coin because it comes up tails on the first 5 out of 5 coin tosses. Eventually you will get heads and it will even itself out.

Advice: “Hold on”.

However, don’t hold onto a rickety old chair tied together with frayed string.

Advice: “Buy Quality”.

However, don’t get caught up in the excitement and overpay for trendy sandals that are a size too small.

Advice: “Pay a fair price, based on your needs”.

Stocks eventually need to be sold because they have no real value until they are sold (except for the dividends that are paid out). It is therefore necessary to pay attention to the supply and demand of the market place. However, while you have the investment, it needs to provide you what you need. Is your main objective income or growth? Is your risk tolerance high or low?

Summary: Buy quality stocks at a fair price and hold on, based on your needs.

A wood slab table was custom-made for the house.

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.

Communication on comings and goings and everything else is usually through Google Calendar and a Camp Bobb group chat. A large chalkboard features an ongoing shopping list: Plungers and toothpicks were recent notations. A Roomba robot vac picks up sand that’s been tracked on the white oak floors.

How can 20 people who live minutes from one another want to spend weekends together? “We have our grandparents to thank for teaching us about family,” said Oliver Macklin, 22, son of Jodi and her husband, Rodd, 53. “We all have to help with the dishes and take out the trash. And we all have to stick together.” The beach house is part of the glue. “We spent a lot of time with the kids and still do.

Saints defense gets it done vs. Geneva

By CHRIS CASEY editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – Despite winning its first two games, the St. Charles East football team’s season was going to be graded on its performance against the likes of its Tri-Cities rivals – Geneva, St. Charles North and Batavia.

The Saints passed their first test with flying colors against Geneva.

East clicked on all cylinders, causing six turnovers en route to a 30-0 shutout of the Vikings in both teams’ Upstate Eight Conference River opener Sept. 9.

Although Geneva had a difficult time stopping East’s triple option – one that took yet another step toward the level coach Bryce Farquhar knows the program can be at – the Saints’ defense sparked them from nearly start to finish.

“I’m very pleased with the way our defense played,” Farquhar said.

“Our defense was outstanding. The turnovers really kept us in the game.

I thought when Geneva did throw the ball, our guys read the routes and did a good job creating turnovers.”

While much focus has been on quarterback Zach Mitchell and his backfield in the triple option that include sopho-

the night – East senior Matt Bertke not only caught up to Temple, he also stripped the ball and East recovered.

Geneva got close to the end zone on its final drive, but Isbell’s second interception sealed the shutout win.

Garlisch, who also played defensive back to go along with his team-high 108 rushing yards and a touchdown, said the success of the defense starts with aggression.

“We honestly just love getting after guys and hitting people,” Garlisch said.

“We studied what kind of routes they wanted to run and jumped most of them.

We truly think we’re the best team in the conference and want to prove that each and every time we get out on the field.”

As dominant as East’s three wins have been – by a combined 105 points – it faces its toughest opponent yet in Week 4 in crosstown rival St. Charles North (3-0, 1-0).

“The kids just have this energy about them,” Farquhar said. “It’s really great to be around and it’s fun to coach. They believe in themselves and they believe in their teammates. Our success is built a lot on that… trusting the guy next to you. We’ve done a good job of that so far.”

St. Charles North Junior | Cross country Why Ernst was selected: Ernst has had three outstanding races to start the season, including two of the top regular season meets in the area the last two weeks.

Audrey Ernst is an elite triathlete most of the year, but she is quickly adding to her reputation on the cross country course this fall. After winning the Elgin City Classic to start the season, she followed with strong finishes against elite competition at the Leavey (second) and Harvey Braus (third) invites. Ernst, the Kane County Chronicle-St. Charles Bank & Trust Athlete of the Week, spoke with Chronicle sports editor Jason Rossi about her start to the season. Here’s an edited transcript: Rossi: Are you at all surprised with the way you’ve started the season?

Ernst: Not really, no. I kind of expect it.

It is always nice to have a good race, but

my only goal is to improve on last season and do well. I’d like to keep improving throughout the season.

Rossi: How does being a triathlete help you in cross country?

Ernst: I love triathlons. I got into that before I got into running cross country so it’s kind of my main thing. I bike and swim more in the summer than I run, but it has helped me with my strength.

Rossi: Was it nice to have a good showing at the Leavey?

Ernst: I was happy to have a good race. It helped to have good competition to run against. I love competing, and having a hard course like that I think helped.

ST. CHARLES – St. Charles North’s football team has a blueprint for success, and the North Stars have followed it to a T in their last two games.

North started fast, grabbed an early lead and then relied on its defense to protect the lead in a 42-0 win against Bartlett on Sept. 2. The same thing happened in a 38-0 win against Larkin in an Upstate Eight River game Sept. 9.

The North Stars (3-0 overall, 1-0 UER) scored on their second play of the game when Zach Mettetal connect with Lucas Segobiano on a 28-yard scoring pass. Later in the first quarter it was Mettetal to Adam Durocher for an 11-yard touchdown followed by a Durocher field goal for a 17-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Mettetal hit Billy Durocher for a 20-yard touchdown to help build a 24-0 halftime lead for North. Mettetal had a 1-yard touchdown run in the third quarter and Demetrio Torres had a 7-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter.

Meanwhile, the defense allowed Larkin to compile just 91 yards of total offense in the game.

North welcomes fellow undefeated team St. Charles East (3-0, 1-0 UER) for a rivalry game and key UER matchup at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 16.

Marmion 21, St. Francis 0

This Athlete of the Week is brought to you by

out of the season as it improved to 3-0 overall and 1-0 in the Chicago Catholic League Green with its shutout against the Spartans.

The Cadets recovered a fumble, forced a three-and-out and saw Myles Schoonover snatch one of his two interceptions, respectively, during St. Francis’ (0-3, 0-1 CCL Green) first three drives.

Following Schoonover’s interception, Brandon McPherson connected with Jett Haas for a 64-yard touchdown pass and a 7-0 lead late in the first quarter. Haas added a touchdown run early in the second quarter and Collin Gibson hit Anthony Zolfo for a TD and a 21-0 halftime lead.

Gibson passed for 83 yards and McPherson threw for 64 yards for Marmion.

John Brundage passed for 75 yards and rushed for 55 yards while Sam Sidari rushed for 51 yards for the Spartans.

Marmion will get a test on the road against McNamara in a CCL crossover game Sept. 16. The Irish are 0-3, but those losses came against IC Catholic Prep (3-0), Bolingbrook (2-1) and St. Laurence (2-1 with the loss against IC Catholic).

St. Francis hits the road to face powerhouse Loyola in a CCL crossover on Sept. 17.

The new turf field at Batavia High School was completed weeks ago, but the surface will see its first game action Sept. 16 with a homecoming doubleheader with boys soccer and football.

Bulldogs rolling, ready to debut new field

Week 4 matchup

jrossi@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Batavia’s football team is off to a 3-0 start and coming off a dominant win against Streamwood.

And now the hometown fans will actually get a chance to see the Bulldogs play within the Batavia city limits.

After breezing past host Streamwood 56-7 in an Upstate Eight River game Sept. 9, Batavia preps for its first home game of the season.

Oh, and by the way, it is homecoming week, and the football game against Elgin on Sept. 16 will be the first gridiron game on Batavia’s brand-new turf field. The boys soccer team will play a game against Elgin at 5 p.m. before the football game.

“We’re super excited,” running back Reggie Phillips said. “We just want to be at home and have more of our classmates there.

“I think it will be fun.”

The games against Elgin will be the first time fans have a chance to see Batavia teams take the new field, but the football team has been be practicing on the field since it was installed.

Still, playing a game that counts in the standings takes the anticipation to a whole new level.

“They are thrilled, and it is homecoming so that makes it really neat,” Batavia head coach Dennis Piron said. “We’re excited about it. The kids have done a

“I know our guys have been anxious to get out there, and with it being homecoming it is going to be a big one.”

The Bulldogs (3-0 overall, 1-0 UER) raced out to a 35-0 lead, and when the Sabres cut it to 35-7 at halftime, Batavia scored twice in the third quarter to make the final outcome a mere formality.

Matthew Huizinga opened the scor-

ing on a 1-yard run, then ran 9 and 90 yards for touchdowns in the third quarter as he rushed four times for 106 yards.

Ben Weerts (nine carries, 55 yards) scored three touchdowns and Jeremiah Evers (four carries, 35 yards) added a touchdown on the ground. Phillips had 11 rushes for 49 yards as seven different Bulldogs carried the ball for 269 yards.

In the passing game, Weerts and Riley Cooper combined to for 15 of 21 for

Cheaney finished with 137 yards receiving and was one of seven Batavia players who caught a pass.

“The kids buy into the game plan, they buy in to the team-first concept,” Piron said of a Batavia offense that has had a host of contributors this season.

“No one is selfish. They all understand it’s for the good of the team. We have a lot of depth, and it’s nice to see guys be positive when it’s someone else making a play.”

Outlook: What the Bulldogs lack in experience they make up for in hustle. Because only four of 13 players return with varsity experience, Trippi-Payne has mixed and matched the lineup to reward the hot hand.

“We are a work in progress,” Trippi-Payne said. “But we have changed the lineup based on what we see. It’s a constant process.”

Consistency helped the Bulldogs to a third-place finish at the Timothy Christian Tournament. Even third-set losses against Naperville North and Waubonsie Valley have shown the team’s mettle.

Outlook: Bereft of size to contend above the net, the North Stars are focused on an aggressive service plan. North wants to take opponents out of their defensive system from the start and cater to its own strengths.

Unlike the juggernaut that went on a run to the Class 4A sectional semifinals last year, St. Charles North has a scrappy group that has fed off the tenacious digs of libero Caprini as part of a 5-2 start to the season. What they lack in experience, they make up for in quickness and desire.

“We want to keep building the legacy we built the last few years,” Hawkins said. “We’ve graduated four core starters.

We’ve got good players but they lack varsity experience. I’m seeing improvement though and we are getting better every day.”

The big goal for any girls volleyball program in the state is to book a trip to Redbird Arena in Normal for the state finals Nov. 11 and 12. That destination is still a long way off, but teams have already started on the path. Here’s a look at the early results and the outlook the rest of the way for area teams:

ond team at practice. A firstplace finish at Fremd’s Peggy Scholten Volleyball Classic was highlighted by a title-game win against defending Class 4A state champ St. Francis. The Saints’ strengths of defense and service receive were on display in the win and proved the adjustments have East on the right track.

“We didn’t get off to the start we wanted,” Kull said.

“So we did some soul searching, made some lineup changes and haven’t lost since.”

Connecticut recruit Sowizral can that make an impact anywhere on the front line, and Ohio recruit Slavik puts teammates in positions to make plays.

“It’s been awhile since we had this good of a defense,” Kull said. “We’ve got a plethora of athletes. We got off to a Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com slow start for the first time in a Geneva libero Payton Bellano returns a serve Sept. 6 during a home match against Elgin. The Vikings are long time, but we are just starting to pick up steam.” hoping its load of elite talent translates into a successful postseason run.

His students will rock the stage backed by professional musicians at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 4 at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles.

It’s the third such concert for Bordoni at the Arcada, whose use has been donated by theater owner Ron Onesti.

Bordoni picked Type 1 juvenile diabetes as the supported cause after learning several of his students are dealing with the disease, one of whom, Michael, has his own fundraising team called Diabetes Destroyers at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. All concert donations will go directly to that team. Last year’s concert helped raise more than $13,000, Bordoni said.

He is a British transplant born near Manchester, England, who as a youth spent years in the Milan area of Italy honing his musical skills as a guitarist and beginning a journey that would lead him to the Fox Valley. In speaking with reporter Renee Tomell, Bordoni said music changed his life. The following is an edited version of the rest of their conversation.

Renee Tomell: What was your musical training in Italy?

Andrew Bordoni: A lot of my early education in music was self-taught. There weren’t any modern teachers. The classical guitarists had no interest in teaching electric guitar. I just learned off records and seeing bands live and using books. Within four years, I had my first band and started getting attention [near] Milan. I worked really hard on

Tomell: What did you do at the Italian mass media enterprise where you worked?

Bordoni: I was producing music [and] I worked as a session guitarist. I composed music for TV shows, commercials, anything required of me.

It wasn’t a high-paying job, but a lot of experience for a young musician. Because of having to work with a lot of instruments as a producer, it … allowed me to be more open-minded as a musician. And through working at that studio, I went on tour with a couple Italian artists through Europe.

Tomell: How did you decide to move from Edinburgh to the United States after meeting the American you’d later marry?

Bordoni: She said, ‘I can move to Edinburgh,’ but I said, ‘You have a bigger family in the U.S. I’ll move. That clicked … if I’m going to move to the U.S., I want to teach music. I want to pass [along] some of the joy I got from it.

I came from a little bit of a

rough childhood. Music was a powerful [influence] in my life. It kept me on track.

Tomell: Where did you first start teaching?

Bordoni: I started on the

side teaching a few lessons in Italy. [And teaching here,] I felt there was a gap between how music is taught between the scholastic system and group lessons. I wanted to fill in that gap to help my [private] students be prepared for music in college. I refined my method. It encapsulates how [guitar, for example,] works with other instruments. We record the performances we do. They’re not recitals. It’s a real experience of working with other instruments as if you are a professional musician.

Tomell: At the benefit concerts over the years, your students have always shared the stage with seasoned performers?

Bordoni: “[When I worked] with people with a lot more experience than me, I had to rise to the occasion. I want these kids to play with musicians who have more experience than them. I called a few friends that donated their time to do these concerts. The first one [drew] 50 people in a small church room. We [repeated] it at the same church room in Geneva and had 150 people, and we raised close

to $7,000 for an orphanage in Lithuania [I was introduced to on a mission trip].

Tomell: What prompted you to start shifting venues, first to EvenFlow in Geneva and then the Arcada Theatre and an audience nearing 600 last year?

Bordoni: I want to inspire these kids. I wanted to get [them] into a theatrical place.

Tomell: Where are some of your former students now?

Bordoni: One of my students has his own recording studio in Nashville. [‘American Idol’ contestant] Kayla Mickelsen is in college. Brian McDonald is in the really popular band Judah & the Lion. [Another] had recently worked with Prince.

Tomell: What message would you like to impart?

Bordoni: How music can be such a powerful medium to do good in the world.

[At] concerts, big fests, you become one big family. It doesn’t matter the color of [your] skin or what country you’re from. We’re one big family. Music is a universal language.

Arcada Theatre still rocks like a teen On Sept. 6, 1926 – Labor Day – the Arcada Theatre opened its doors in all of its grandeur, as a “Grand Palace” and a gem of the Fox Valley. This month marks the 90th anniversary of that illustrious night, where the St. Charles socialites donned their flowing gowns and crisp tuxedos, attending the combination silent film and Vaudeville presentation. And oh what a presentation it was.

As a self-proclaimed “old-soul” myself, I fell madly in love with this statuesque girl named “Arcada” the moment I laid eyes on her.

When I first walked into the building in February 2005, something special was happening, at least it felt that way. It was more of a presence rather than an actual visual experience. I could almost feel the place buzzing with excitement of the Vaudeville shows and the nickel silent films of days gone by. Mischievous kids with tattered clothes and shoes, sporting “newsboy” caps sneaking into the balcony, while adults in their “Sunday best” outfits would excitingly be attending the performances. It was a classic little sister to the Chicago Theatre, but located in the western suburbs.

The difficult reality, though, was that it was as tattered as those newsboys’ knickers. The building had fallen into disrepair, despite three major renovations in the 1940s, 60s and 80s. At the time of my visit, the programming was basically $4 “brew and view” style movies, with second run films and bottles of beer, which was cool, as it kept the theatre open at that time, but did nothing to maintain its original beauty.

But I saw it. I felt it. The stillpresent souls of the throngs of people 90 years ago who stood in lines around the block just to hear the master pipe organists who the rock stars of the day. They played that marvelous Marr & Colton in concert or along with the silent films, which became so popular that the Geneva Organ Company came in just a few short years later and increased its ranks, making it even more spectacular.

As I delved into the theatre’s history I learned about Lester J. Norris, the cartoonist-turned-millionaire who had an amazing drive, and became an industrialist in his mid-twenties. He married his childhood sweetheart, Dellora Angell Norris, the niece of “Bet A Million” Gates who held the patent on barbed wire and started Texaco Oil, and let his “Walt Disney-like imagination”

theatre on a regular basis, from all over the country. And the way we do it is by showcasing a variety of superstars.

“Variety” is a key word here.

Mickey Rooney, Don Rickles, Jerry Lewis, Frank Sinatra, Jr., Wayne Newton, Connie Francis, Debbie Reynolds and Shirley MacLaine are among the many legendary performers to grace the stage at Arcada Live! Bret Michaels of Poison, Kevin Costner, Weird Al, The Guess Who, Pat Benatar, Boz Scaggs, Michael McDonald, Dennis DeYoung, America and Kansas are just a few of the amazing acts that have perform there semi-regularly.

A huge source of pride for the theatre are the television specials that have been shot there including Joan Rivers’ Showtime Special (her last television stand-up comedy show), Andrew “Dice” Clay’s New Year’s Eve Special for Showtime, Foreigner’s VH1 Special and Richard Marx with Hugh Jackman for PBS. With all these shows and crazy nights behind me, you may wonder what lies ahead! I can only tell you that I am more excited than I have ever been, and I am seeking out and creating new experiences that I am sure the Arcada Theatre audience will love. Yes, I am a maniac about this stuff!

I was recently asked what I thought Lester J. Norris would say about the theatre today. I think he would have that young-boy smile, as excited as I am, and be front and center for every show. What I am most proud of is not solely keeping the Arcada Theatre alive, especially during the height of the recent economic downfall, but knowing that the passion that opened the theatre lives on, 90 years later, as if it were just opening today. A “newsboy hat” off to you, Lester J. Norris. I proudly, and humbly carry your torch, fostering your memory and your passion. And don’t think that I haven’t seen you peeking out around corners backstage or in our basement dressing rooms. I know you are with us today because the laughter and the joy that filled the Arcada Theatre in the Roaring Twenties resounds today, 90 years later.

‘Rumors’ to take Kaneland High School stage

By SUZANNE FLYNN editorial@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK – Kaneland High School is doing something different this year for their fall play.

“Rumors” by Neil Simon is a comedy, with plenty of adult humor and some adult language, but Kaneland’s director Christina Staker felt this was the right time to bring it to Kaneland.

“This play is one of the most commonly done plays done by high schools across the county, and even though there is some adult language, I think it’s time we bring something different to our community,” Staker said.

Another important factor when picking which play the school will put on is how many parts are male and female in the play.

“There were nearly equal male and female parts in this play, so it was another winner in my mind,” she said.

“Rumors” is about a group of friends who get together for a couple’s anniversary dinner party when something crazy happens. The host has shot himself in the earlobe and his wife is missing. Rumors start flying about what has happened and this creates some ridiculously funny situations throughout the entire play.

Auditions for the play took place Aug. 31 and Sept. 1. This was the first year that students had to prepare a one-minute monologue for their audition.

“Cold readings are much different than monologues and some students do much better when they are able to practice and prepare their readings, just like they would when they are rehearsing or performing on stage,” Staker said.

Staker was able to cast 20 students – 10 leads and 10 understudies.

“We had about 30 students try out for the play,” Staker said. “This is about average. We usually range between 30 and 35 auditions for the fall play.”

Emily Vandliner-Birchfield handles the set design for the play.

She recruits students and parents as volunteers.

“This year, I have built the interior design of the set into my art class curriculum,” Vandliner-Birchfield said. “It’s the first time I’ve ever done

that, but because the set takes place basically in a small space, my students will be able to design the overall set and get recognition for that.”

The play can’t go on without the technical duties of those behind the scenes. The lights and sound crew is run by Maria Dripps-Paulson, Kaneland auditorium manager. She, along with tech professionals, puts together a 20-student tech crew and teaches them to do it all.

Dripps-Paulson is also in charge of selling tickets and managing the house during the shows.

“We’re very excited for the play; it’s the most modern play we’re ever done,” Staker said. “I think everyone will enjoy the humor of it – especially the parents with the adult humor weaved in.”

LEARNING TO GROW Sarah Marcheschi can cross-pollinate with the many Bradford pears in suburbia, resulting in seeded fruit. Birds eat the fruit and spread the seeds so we see the offspring of Bradford pears in natural areas where they crowd out and reduce native plants.

There are 13 invasive species of honeysuckles (Lonicera spp.) in Illinois. The most common are the bush honeysuckles, Amur (L. maackii), Morrows (L. morrowii), Tartarian (L. tatarica), and Winter (L. fragrantissima). These exotic honeysuckles are the first to leaf out in spring and the last to drop leaves in the fall. Their spring flowers are fragrant and their red berries add fall color. Migrating birds eat the berries and spread the seeds, but bush honeysuckle berries don’t provide the nutrition needed for long flight. The berries of the native honeysuckle vine (L. reticulate), how-

ever, do supply the fats and nutrients needed for migration.

Bush honeysuckles can be so detrimental to natural areas that they are among the 26 plants covered by the Illinois Exotic Weed Act. See the list at http://ill-inps.org/images/ExoticWeedAct_NRES2601.pdf. According to the Act, it’s illegal to buy, sell, distribute or plant them in Illinois.

If you already have a listed plant on your property, the law doesn’t regulate ownership or require existing plants to be removed.

As you assess your landscape, consider replacing any “invaders” you may have with non-invasive or native plants. Contact the Kane County master gardeners for help with choosing friendlier flora.

An invasive plant is a non-native plant that has the potential to be a threat to the economy, human health or natural areas. Two invasive plants that are damaging natural areas are beloved residents of suburbia: the Bradford pear tree and bush honeysuckles.

Look in yards and parkways in the Tri-Cities and you will frequently see a Bradford pear tree (Pyrus calleryana ‘Bradford’). Developed in 1963 from the Callery pear, a native of China, this tree has been used extensively in subdivisions. The Bradford pear doesn’t produce fruit; it’s self-sterile and needs pollen from a different variety to make seeded fruit. Because it’s fast-growing, the Bradford pear has weak wood so the trees often don’t last more than 20 years.

Horticulturalists created other varieties from the Callery pear with stronger wood, but the downside is pollen from these varieties

By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – A cram course covering every Shakespeare play is a comedy roller coaster about to careen into Steel Beam Theatre in St. Charles as its 16th season opener.

Bringing “The Complete Works of Wm. Shakespeare (abridged)” to the stage will be a core of Batavia talent, including Director Jesse Hicks and three of the four performers, Lori Holm, Julie Bayer and Jennifer Reeves Wilson, who are joined by Heidi Swarthout of Oswego.

“It’s one of those plays that’s constantly moving [and] gives a lot of information,” Hicks said. “It’s a good way to start with Shakespeare.”

The show, filled with contemporary references, originated as an

“The script we’re using is revised,” Hicks said. “We have updated it to make reference to current

topics, even the elections.”

Before this play, he said he had taken a break from theater to become a stay-at-home dad for four years, having previously directed and written children’s shows in the suburbs and Chicago.

This production became especially appealing because it allowed him to collaborate with his wife, cast member Reeves Wilson, who’s making her fourth appearance in a show they relish, and in which she now will have played every role.

“Most of the people we know love Shakespeare; it’s nice to satire him on occasion,” Hicks said.

Reeves Wilson said audience members have their own chance to get into the act as they explore what makes Ophelia tick in the second half about “Hamlet.”

“The show is for people who don’t think they like [or understand] Shakespeare,” she said. “[They] get a whirlwind tour of it. It’s almost like the Marx Brothers. You catch a joke and they’re already on to the next one.”

The cast started rehearsals back in May to prepare for the frenetic pacing of the show.

“It’s a lot of fun to work with some of the funniest, most talented women working locally in theater in the area,” Reeves Wilson said. “As much fun as we’re having, we want [the audience] to share that experience.”

The couple’s children, Roland, 5, and Keaton, 2, are gaining an introduction to theater on the home front, where the specialized props and costuming for the show are taking

“Marge is the right woman we needed to pick [Steel Beam] up and keep it going,” she said.

In announcing the fresh season, SBT Artistic Director Uhlarik-Boller said the coming show commemorates the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, adding, “We had the opportunity to mount this production with an insanely talented group of actors and a fine director.

Joshua Tree plans fundraiser Sept. 17

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Five days a week, 20 members of The Joshua Tree Community volunteer locally under the direction of founder Amy Singer.

These intellectually disabled adults meet every day at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Geneva, sell lemonade and crafts on Fridays at the farmers market at Baker Memorial Methodist Church in St. Charles, tend their own plot at the James O’Breen Community Garden and they volunteer every Monday at the Northern Illinois Food Bank in Geneva.

“We come together to grow and learn, to have fun, and to make new friends,” Singer wrote in the introduction to the nonprofit she started in 2014. “We want to be seen as capable, unique individuals. We want the world to know who we truly are, to recognize the potential we all hold deep inside.”

In order to continue to support

and expand The Joshua Tree Community’s programs, a fundraiser will be from 6 to 9 p.m. Sept. 17 at the Northern Illinois Food Bank, 273 Dearborn Court, Geneva, Singer said.

Tickets are $40 for individuals or $300 for a table of eight. The event includes dinner, a silent auction and a trivia game by table with Geneva Mayor Kevin Burns as emcee, Singer said.

Children younger than 10 can attend for free. Tickets are available by email contact@joshuatreecommunity, by calling Singer at 630-485-1064 or online through Event Brite.

“This is our second fundraiser,” Singer said. “Last year, we were at St. Mark’s and about 100 people attended. We raised $7,000. We’d love to raise $15,000 from this one. We’d like to fill the place, which is 240 people.”

Singer said more realistically, she thinks about 150 will attend this year.

“We have room for more [than 20] and we are looking at expanding – but we want to get through this fundraiser first,” Singer said.

The Mexican fiesta will be prepared by Jennifer Lamplough, director of nutrition programs at the food bank, Singer said.

Lamplough’s menu offers a guacamole and salsa bar, cheese enchiladas, pork or roasted vegetable tacos, rice and beans.

“We volunteer at the food bank every Monday for two years and she fell in love with our group,” Singer said. “We won the ‘Most Inspirational Volunteer Group’ last year at the food bank. We will pay for the food, but she is on our committee and cooking for us.”

The silent auction prizes include two round-trip Southwest Airline e-passes; a $25 gift card to Lou Malnati’s; a $90 gift card to Otterbox; a one-month adult membership to Delnor Fitness Center; two handcrafted items from Knit One, Felt too; colored pencil fine art drawing

by Linda Palmer; a basket from basketmaker Ellen Phillips; women’s sunglasses and a free eye exam from Pearle Vision; dinner and wine pairing for four in your home, a $500 value; two Chicago Symphony Orchestra tickets; and a Brookfield Zoo parking pass with six general admission passes.

Guests will also bid as tables on desserts donated by 21 restaurants and individuals in an additional fundraising effort called the Dessert Dash, Singer said.

Donations for the Dessert Dash include apple pie from Kuipers Family Farm in Maple Park; bacon and bourbon baklava from Nobel House, a churro cake from The Sugar Path, chocolate cake and cupcakes from Sweet Natalie’s and pie and pineapple upside down cake from The Fresh Market, all in Geneva; banana cream pie from Karla’s Konfections in Roselle; brownies from Harner’s Bakery and a Mexican fiesta themed cake from The Cakery, both in North Aurora.

Reading to dogs seems like a great first step Kids, dogs and books. Yay! Huge fan of all three, here. Put ‘em all together and whaddya get? A brilliant idea! I recently heard news about the beautiful “Reading to Rover” activity happening Sept. 18 during the PetsAPalooza Pet Parade and Festival, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Mooseheart Child City & School in Batavia, and just had to share it.

Dog trainers and volunteers from FoxGem dog training plan to provide a Reading to Rover spot in which children visiting the festival may read a story to a new furry friend.

Terri Vaira, FoxGem owner and certified American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen evaluator reports that “These types of sessions are not meant to teach children how to read, but instead are intended to help children become comfortable reading,” she said. “Positive results are frequently immediate in that the child’s audience (in this case, a dog) listens with no judgement on the

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff fat, because they burn more fat and store less of it.

In other words, it appears that brown fat wards off obesity.

These findings would be interesting – but not particularly relevant – if we couldn’t control the amount of white and brown fat in our bodies. But ongoing research suggests we can.

My colleagues at Harvard have recently discovered natural chemicals in all of us that affect the number of white and brown fat cells. One is a molecule called irisin.

This hormone is produced by muscle cells, particularly when those cells are regularly exercised. It circulates through the blood and transforms white fat cells into brown fat cells.

When obese mice with insulin resistance are given injections of irisin, they lose weight and have reduced insulin resistance.

This discovery has excited scientists, for obvious reasons. If it worked the same way in humans, and without side effects, it could have huge health benefits.

A word of caution: Many “silver bullets” for obesity have come and gone. Still, I’d bet on this newly discovered molecule, and on other advances triggered by the discovery that we adult humans have brown fat within us.

Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

nal fat, you talked about two kinds of fat – brown fat and white fat. I’d like to hear more about them.

Dear Reader: I’m glad you asked, because the discovery of these two types of fat could prove to be very important.

In the column you refer to, I discussed how visceral, or abdominal, fat (which accumulates deep inside the abdomen) is more harmful to our health than subcutaneous fat (the fat just beneath the skin). But when it comes to fat, it’s not just location that matters. Color counts, too – and brown is better.

Humans and other mammals have two types of fat: white fat and brown fat.

(There may also be a third kind that’s in between, sometimes called “beige fat.”)

Until very recently, we thought that adult humans had only white fat. We knew some adult animals had brown fat, and that human babies did, too. But we thought babies lost their brown fat as they grew older.

Discoveries at Harvard Medical School found that all of us maintain some brown fat cells throughout our life.

Why is this important? White fat cells store fat. When we get “fat” – when those love handles start to appear – that’s because we’re growing more and bigger white fat cells.

Brown fat cells, on the other hand, don’t store fat; they burn it. They are brown because they contain lots of mitochondria, the energy factories inside each cell.

The mitochondria in brown fat cells burn fat to create one kind of energy: heat.

Animals with relatively more brown fat are less likely to develop insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes. They’re also less

| KANE WEEKEND

68 Living at home stops grad from being herself Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY am a bisexual female college Jeanne graduate living Phillips at home, and an only child. I have had one sexual encounter with a woman but never a relationship. I have, however, had relationships with men.

I came out to my mother when I was a teenager. She didn’t believe me, but did say that she would not mention it to my other parents or family members. (I have two stepparents as both biological parents remarried.)

I am considering – if I find a woman to go on a date with/be with – pursuing a lesbian relationship. However, I am not financially independent and won’t be for many years.

My problem is I’m afraid to do it while I am living at home. My cousins, friends and ex-boyfriends all know, just not my parents, grandparents, aunts, etc. Do I try for my own happiness and hope for the best, or defer my happiness and only date men? – Scared To Be Who I Am Dear Scared: You are no longer a teen-

ager; you’re an adult now. You should be entitled to have the kind of relationship with which you are most comfortable. If your cousins know about the fact that you are bisexual, the chances are that so do their parents. However, if coming out now would mean that you would be out on the street, I’m advising you to keep your mouth shut and bide your time until you are independent.

Dear Abby: My family and I are all travelers. Recently, some issues have arisen with them about the way they regard my mode of travel. They prefer flying versus driving. I don’t. Because of my size.

I can’t fit into an airplane seat and buckle the seat belt without an extender. I’m always worried that I’ll be forced to buy an extra seat or won’t be allowed to fly because of my weight, and it is stressful. I have tried for years to lose weight, but have gotten only to the point where I’m maintaining my weight.

I fit comfortably in my car. I can get the seat belt buckled, and I don’t have to inconvenience other passengers.

My family is now trying to discourage me from taking future trips with them because I won’t fly.

They claim it’s because I’m single and normally travel by myself. I’m in my mid30s and have traveled solo for years. Any suggestions on how to help them understand my choice? – Frustrated Solo Heavy

Traveler Dear Frustrated: Your family may be do-

ing this in an attempt to “encourage” you to work harder at losing weight. However, if you are more comfortable traveling by car, then that’s what you should be doing.

Write Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Marijuana often is a gateway drug Dr. Wallace: You stated that marijuana is a gateway drug that can lead to more potent drugs such as cocaine and heroin. That’s not fact; it’s just a myth. I should know. I smoke pot, but I have never, ever tried any other illegal drug! –

Nameless, South Bend, Indiana Nameless: It’s fact, not myth,

that marijuana is a gateway drug that can lead to the abuse of harder substances. In a University of Virginia survey of more than 5,000 cocaine drug addicts, over 90 percent said they started their drug use with marijuana. The fact is, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, marijuana is the most widely used illicit drug in America and tends to be the first illegal drug teens use.

In a survey of high school seniors, 20.7 percent said they had used marijuana at least once in the past year.

The good news, according to the American Council for Drug Education, is that the majority of teens (72 percent) who had smoked marijuana do not go on to other illegal drugs.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 19 and I quit school when I turned 17 because I didn’t like school and wanted to work and earn money. Even though I don’t have a high school diploma, I am very intelligent. But my problem is that every time I apply for a better-paying job, I’m turned down because I do not have a high school diploma.

Some of my friends, who are not as intelligent as I am, are making more money and have a much brighter economic future than I do. I don’t think it’s fair that I am denied a good job because I do not have that “piece of paper.”

I could have had a diploma if I had stayed in school. But I thought school was boring and a big waste of time. It’s too late for me to go back to school now.

What can I do to improve my chances of getting a better job? –

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace Kenneth, Brooklyn, New York Kenneth: It’s not too late for you

to go back to school! Stop by your old high school and speak with a counselor. Some schools offer evening classes and all will advise you how to earn a GED, the equivalent of a high school diploma. There’s absolutely no reason for you to continue to suffer the consequences of a decision you made when you were younger.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 15-year-old girl who has been short all my life.

Presently, I am barely 5 feet tall.

Both of my parents are of average height and my older brother is taller than both of them. I am actively involved in athletics and was wondering if participation in sports has stunted my growth. What do you think? – Toni, Ames, Iowa.

Toni: Your participation in athletics has not stunted your growth -- not even a tiny millimeter. The two prime factors in a person’s height are heredity and diet. Somewhere in your family tree was a relatively short person and the person’s genes were passed on to you. Don’t despair! You still have a few years left to grow taller. But, there is nothing wrong with being a healthy, robust 5 feet tall!

Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and have been dating a really great guy for over eight weeks. He’s my very first boyfriend and we have wonderful times when we go out together.

Things are almost perfect for us, but the one problem is that my boyfriend is putting a lot of pressure on me to have sex. He knows that I’m a virgin because I told him already that I plan to stay a virgin, but now he is still pursuing the sex thing. He keeps insisting that a steady relationship should include a commitment for both

individuals to have sex and share the “ultimate” in love. Last night he said I could think it over for a week, but if my answer is no, then the relationship is over.

Of course, my answer will still be no, but I’m asking for a little moral support from you because I can’t possibly discuss this with my mom. She thinks this guy is wonderful and I surely don’t want her to know about his sexual aggression. Please help. – Monica, Erie,

Pennsylvania Monica: A guy who breaks up

with a girl because she won’t have sex with him doesn’t really care for her. He’s more interested in satisfying his lust than sharing love.

Good for you for being so resolute!

And please be aware, even if you had given in to his demands, you probably would have broken up with him soon anyway.

Teen relationship that include sex rarely last, and I have thousands of letters and e-mails to prove it.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 18 and have recently graduated from high school. At school all of my friends knew me as Sandy. My legal first name is Slabion, if you can believe that. I was named after a grandfather who lived in Eastern Europe.

I’d like to change my first name to Sandifer. That way I could still be called Sandy. I want to make the change now, before I start college.

Of course, my dad doesn’t like the idea, but he told me to change my name if I want to. Do you see any reason why I shouldn’t? – Sandy,

Chicago Sandy: I see no reason why

you shouldn’t change your name.

Yes, legally change your name to Sandifer and make Slabion your middle name. This will make dad happy. And when you sign your name, Sandifer S., no one will know your secret!

KOVELS: ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING

BY TERRY AND KIM KOVEL KOVELS.COM The “jeweled” Coalport porcelain of the late 19th century attracts buyers with its beauty and unfamiliar beading, but few know the history of the porcelain. Coalport porcelain was first made in England in 1795. In the late 19th century, a new type of porcelain vases, teaware, boxes and other ornamental wares were created. It was hand decorated with small colored “beads” of glaze, as well as sections with simulated gems like moonstones or emeralds. These pieces were very expensive when compared to the useful wares made before that time. In 1895, Coalport was able to make the jeweled porcelains by a less expensive method, and more pieces were sold. Collectors have favored these pieces since the 1950s and prices are high today. At a 2016 Skinner auction in Boston, which included over 60 pieces of this type of Coalport, a round covered box, just 2 1/2 inches in diameter, brought $461. The box has turquoise beading and a central medallion. A two-handled shaped bowl with a cover sold for about $1,000 at the same sale. *** Q: When my husband was an orthopedic surgeon, a patient gave him Franklin Roosevelt’s cane. It has “Franklin D. Roosevelt” and a shield on one side of the silver handle and “For President” and “32” on the other side. It’s slightly bent from pressure over the years. What can you tell me about it?

A: Canes were a common political campaign item in the late 1800s and early 1900s when they were fashion accessories, not for support when walking. Canes like yours weren’t actually owned

by Roosevelt, but were made to distribute during his first presidential campaign in 1932. The head of your cane is cast aluminum, not silver. Thousands of these canes were made before production stopped because Roosevelt didn’t want to call attention to his physical limitations. The canes have been reproduced. Their value in good condition is about $75 to $100. *** Q: My oak mantel clock was made by Waterbury Clock Co. It has mirrored sides and two brass figures on each side. A faded paper on the back reads “American Manufacture, Oxford, strikes half hour.”

Can you tell me the age and worth?

A: Waterbury Clock flatware, either for the Co. was founded in value of the set or for the Waterbury, Connecticut value of the silver? I have in 1857, and was a set of Meadow Rose the largest clock

Anne Frank wrote, “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”

We have a wonderful convention for showing a single card in a suit -- a splinter bid. It worked wonders on this deal. But, first, how should South play in six spades after West leads the club queen?

When South showed four spades (and denied four hearts) in answer to Stayman, North jumped to four diamonds, a splinter bid, indicating at least four-card spade support and game-going values with a singleton (or void) in diamonds. This slight overbid was music to South’s ears, who no longer feared three fast diamond losers. He control-bid four hearts, then jumped to six spades when partner settled for four spades.

South seems to have one loser in each minor and only 11 winners: five spades, four hearts and two clubs.

Where might he find an extra trick?

Winners most often come from a ruff in the shorter trump hand or establishment of a long suit. Here, each is impossible. Unusually, declarer must play for ruffs in the longer trump hand.

He wins with his club ace and plays a trump to dummy. (With this layout, he must not cash the spade ace or jack.) Then South loses a diamond. Let’s say West wins and leads another trump. Declarer wins on the board, plays a club to his king, ruffs a diamond, leads a heart to the ace, ruffs his last diamond, draws trumps (overtaking dummy’s king with his ace), and claims. He has taken four spades, four hearts, two clubs and those two diamond ruffs.
