GENEVA – “Noises Off,” a show within a show, is a challenging – yet entertaining – fall play for Geneva High School, director Konnie Sherry said.

“It’s a farce,” Sherry said.

“It’s a group of actors in three acts. We see them as they are getting ready to start the show on tour. We see them six weeks later and the last day of their tour 12 weeks later. It’s all about their relationships while they are doing their show … and all the mishaps that can happen.”

“Noises Off” performances are at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 4 and Nov. 5 and 2 p.m. Nov. 6 in the Geneva High School auditorium, 416 McKinley Ave., Geneva.

Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students and are available at the door.

Jacob Miller, a 17-year-old junior who plays Frederick, one of the lead roles in “Noises Off,” praised the strength of the play itself.

“This play is complex – it has a lot of layers to it,” Miller said. “It’s very witty, very funny. It doesn’t spoon-feed the audience at all. It has subtle jokes and innuendos and it’s always moving. There’s always something happening.

It’s a very fast-paced play.”

Miller said his character is Frederick, who is a nervous, jittery, scaredy-cat person without confidence in himself.

Yet, when Frederick is playing Philip, he is the opposite – very confident and bold.

“They are very contrasting characters [and] this is definitely the hardest role I’ve ever had to pull off,” Miller said. “I’ve worked with the director before, and she’s great.

I have full confidence that this is going to be a well-put-together production.”

Megan Styrna, 16, a junior, agreed with Miller’s assessment.

“I love the play this year, but it’s definitely one of the hardest shows,” Styrna said.

“There are many layers and relationships between the characters, both on stage and off, which is very interesting to see. In one act, it will show the actual show and how two characters could love each other. And backstage, it will show how two characters will hate each other.”

Styrna plays Brooke, an actor who is “very vacant.”

“She does not pay attention as a lot of the time her mind is elsewhere,” Styrna said.

“She’s very sweet but not very bright.”

Brooke plays Vickie in the show. Vickie is focused on sleeping with another character, Garry, Styrna said.

“She is very accidentally sexual – and kind of ditsy,” Styrna said. “She does not intend to be putting herself out there, it’s just the way she carries herself. … My two characters are different, and the difficult aspect is differentiating between the two.”

Geneva aldermen resurrect issue of liquor licensees holding office

GENEVA – Aldermen decided to resurrect an idea they quashed in 2012 – that is to let liquor license holders also serve on the City Council as aldermen or as the mayor – and it may lead to a clash of opinions when they discuss it after the regular Committee of the Whole meeting Nov. 7.

Liquor license holders can run for office, officials said. They just can’t serve if elected unless they give up the license. Mayor Kevin Burns, who does not favor changing the law, said if a liquor licensee won election, the council would change the law to allow him or her to be sworn in.

Fourth Ward Alderman Jim Radecki requested that aldermen take another look at the issue during the Committee of the Whole meeting on Oct. 24.

“In 2012, the council had taken a look at our ordinance, which prohibits liquor license holders from holding elected office,” Radecki said. “And I thought that – in discussion with several aldermen and several that have initiated it with me and other people – that I thought it was maybe appropriate to resurrect and bring that back for some discussion.”

Burns said resurrecting the issue “is mind-boggling.”

“I cannot believe we are addressing a problem that does not exist,” Burns said. “That was my position [in] 2012 and in 2016. We are trying to solve a problem where one does not exist. I am flummoxed as to why.”

Radecki said he has had “zero discussions with anyone wanting to run for office.”

“There has been no specific person who asked me to bring this up,” Radecki said.

Still, Radecki said with the consol-

“I cannot believe we are addressing a problem that does not exist. That was my position [in] 2012 and in 2016.

We are trying to solve a problem where one does not exist. I am flummoxed as to why.”

idated election in April, now would be the time to change the law.

“I have no motive to push this through,” Radecki said. “If there is somebody that is out there [who wants to run], we owe it to them.”

Candidates for the April 4, 2017, consolidated election must file their nominating papers between Dec. 12 and 19, according to the Kane County Clerk’s website, www.kanecountyelections.org.

“No one said it’s a bad idea,” Radecki said.

But Radecki would not name any other aldermen or others whom he said brought the issue to him.

Burns said the state law was amended to accommodate a small Southern Illinois town that did not have enough people to serve in office if they could not include liquor licensees – not because it was a good idea for all other cities and villages to follow suit.

St. Charles, Batavia, Naperville, Cicero and Melrose Park all do not allow liquor licensees to hold public office, Burns said.

Burns said of the 74 liquor licensees in Geneva, 21 actually live in the city.

“Ask any alderman ... how many

In 2012, Michael Olesen, owner of Stockholm’s, wanted to run for an alderman’s seat in the 1st Ward, and that was the impetus for the council to look at its ordinance.

Olesen said he has not spoken with any other liquor license holders who are interested in being elected in Geneva.

As before, he also said he did not see a problem with holding a liquor license and serving in public office.

“It is allowed by state law and I think that is perfectly all right,” Olesen said. “If they do change the law, I will certainly be reaching out to those colleagues to see if they would be interested in making Geneva a better place.”

As to whether he would run for election as alderman or mayor, Olesen said, “Ask me that question when they change it. ... I will make my decision at that point about what I’m going to do.”

For liquor license holders who think serving on the council will give them a voice for their industry, Burns said conflict of interest and ethics laws would require they recuse themselves from discussion and voting.

“I look forward to the discussion on Nov. 7,” Burns said. “And I am confident that good governance will prevail and that the council will determine after all is said and done that it is in the best interest of the legislative body to preserve the law in its current form.”

House severely damaged, family dog lost in fire KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com GENEVA – A family dog was killed in a house fire Oct. 26 in the 700 block of Redwing Drive on Geneva’s west side.

The Geneva Fire Department responded to the incident at 1:53 p.m.

Bruce Simpson died in 2001.

When Bruce Simpson joined the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C., the family lived the tumultuous 1960s in the Washington area. Caroline Simpson opposed the Vietnam War and attended the legendary 1967 anti-war march on the Pentagon, according to her family.

In 2007, she participated in an interfaith prayer for peace

GENEVA – Geneva police are asking residents to lock their vehicles after responding to 11 reports of car burglaries since Oct. 23, officials announced in a news release.

The burglaries have taken place overnight primarily on the city’s east side, but similar incidents also have been reported in the Allendale subdivision near Western Avenue, the release stated.

Valuables were reported taken from the burglarized vehicles, all of which were unlocked, the release stated.

Police believe these incidents are crimes of opportunity and can be reduced with help from the community, so they are encouraging residents to lock their car doors, remove all valuables from their vehicle if possible, park in well-lit areas and consider installing motion-triggered

outside lighting, the release stated.

Seven of the 11 car burglaries were among police reports released that all occurred Oct. 21.

In the 400 block of Chalmers Street, $10 in change was taken from a cup holder; in the 100 block of Simpson Street, $3 in change was taken; and in the 200 block of Harrison Street, a car was rifled through, but nothing was taken.

Also, in the 100 block of Ridge Lane, sunglasses and cigarette lighters valued at $10 were taken; in the 100 block of Ridge Lane, $20 in dollar bills and change was taken; and in the 200 block of Kansas Street $5 in loose change was taken at one location, while a $500 pair of prescription sunglasses was taken at another.

People who witness or hear suspicious activity in their neighborhood should call 911, the release stated.

D-304 considers changes to GHS courses

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – New and modified courses in math, technology, digital photography, entrepreneurship, foods courses and social studies and history are expected to be offered at Geneva High School next school year, officials said.

Associate Principal Doug Drexler presented the proposed changes and additions Oct. 24 at the Geneva District 304 school board meeting.

The board did not take action as this was the first-draft presentation of course changes, Superintendent Kent Mutchler said.

“We do have three brand-new courses that we are proposing for next year and some tweaks and modifications to seven others,” Drexler said. “These proposals were not dreamed up yesterday. They have been in the pipeline for a while and they have gone through a variety of different phases of approval.”

One of the new courses is advanced calculus, Drexler said.

“It’s a very high-level mathematics course, … really, really tough calculus material,” Drexler said. “A credit to our elementary and middle schools [that are] producing students more advanced in math. … We believe it will be a great addition to our math department.”

A new computer science class is

an app development course, he said, “where they are taking an idea that they’ve got and developing a programming solution to it.”

“Many schools that have this course [their] students come out with finished products that they actually put on the app marketplace,” Drexler said.

The third new course is a technology support internship, Drexler said, “that will allow our students to work very closely with the high school’s building technology staff.”

Student interns will not only work side-by-side with the building technicians to service students’ devices, but they also will work on customer service skills.

Of the seven course modifications proposed, three are a “package deal” in the art department and photography

program, Drexler said.

A prerequisite for digital photography was to take a darkroom course to learn about film development, Drexler said.

“Our students have shifted and are not in a darkroom mentality anymore,” Drexler said. “They are in a digital world.”

The existing visual photography course required the darkroom course as a prerequisite. Although students can still take the darkroom course, the recommended change eliminates that prerequisite to take the advanced photography class, Drexler said.

“We see this as a necessary evolution to our program and a way to appeal to a lot of students in that setting.,” he said.

Another of the modifications is to

Marklund, Little Angels complete merger KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com BLACKBERRY TOWNSHIP – After eight months of preparation, Marklund and The Little Angels Center for Exceptional Care officials announced in a news release that they have approved the merger of the nonprofit organizations.

The merger was to become effective Nov. 1.

Marklund, based in Bloomingdale and in the Mill Creek subdivision of Blackberry Township near Geneva, serves children and adults with profound developmental disabilities.

Little Angels is in Elgin.

“After working toward this goal since February, I am very excited that our merger will finally become a reality,” Marklund President and CEO Gil Fonger said in the release. “I am confident that the joining of these two solid organizations is going to be very positive and make us stronger together than we could be apart.”

Two board members and a parent from Little Angels will be joining the

Marklund board of directors, the release stated.

“The board has great respect for the long-term commitment and accomplishments of the Little Angels organization and we are excited to join forces with them in our collective mission to care for individuals with profound developmental disabilities,” Marklund’s board Chairman Duane J. Fitch said in the release.

“We are so pleased that this day has come and we look forward to continuing this important journey.”

Little Angels will be renamed the Marklund Wasmond Center to acknowledge its history and founding family, as well as to conform with the naming of Marklund’s other facilities. The new organization will have more than 450 staff members, the release stated.

“Little Angels has always been a labor of love for the entire Wasmond family,” Shelley Lewis stated in the release. Lewis is the longtime executive director of Little Angels, and her parents founded the organization, the release stated.

“Of utmost importance to us is

that we carry on my mother’s legacy of providing care and support to children and young adults with profound disabilities and complex medical needs in a place that feels like home,” Lewis stated in the release. “My family and our dedicated staff have entrusted this legacy to Marklund who shares a very similar history and passion for caring. Joining the Marklund family feels very much like home to us and we are excited about what the future holds.”

Marklund and Little Angels have similar histories, the release stated.

Established in 1954 by Claire and Stan Haverkampf, Marklund currently serves more than 170 families in its residential, therapeutic and educational programs, and operates on a $20 million budget, the release stated.

Founded in 1958 by Pat and Bob Wasmond, Little Angels operates on a $7 million budget providing programs and services for 57 medically complex individuals with developmental disabilities, including 24-hour skilled nursing care, the release stated.

the computer software applications course, eliminating the words-per-minute keyboarding requirement, Drexler said.

The business department’s entrepreneurship and business communications course will change its name to entrepreneurship – a more straightforward title, he said.

The family and consumer sciences courses will see a name change, not a curriculum change, Drexler said, so students and parents will have a better understanding of what is involved in that course.

An example is that culinary arts will become culinary arts baking and pastry, he said.

Two modern world history courses for freshmen will be adjusted to become thematic-based courses that show students similarities in history, rather than a traditional, chronologically based course, he said.

“So they will deal with themes like international conflict. And they won’t deal with it from a chronological perspective,” Drexler said. “They’ll look at different points in history that really illustrate the concept of international conflicts and look at similarities and differences. It’s a pretty powerful way of addressing social studies students and history students with many more connections throughout history.”

Batavia siblings collecting candy to honor troops

By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Two children who miss their grandfather, a Vietnam veteran who lived with them during his last illness, found a sweet way to pay tribute to him and to active and former members of the military and their families.

The Batavia siblings, Abby Anderson, 9, and Bradley, 11, attend Geneva’s Western Avenue School and Geneva Middle School, respectively.

Overlapping the Halloween season, they set up a collection box near their home’s driveway, where a 20-foot inflatable black cat marked the spot for donors to drop off wrapped candy and gum through Nov. 2.

They planned to ship the items Nov. 3 to Operation Gratitude, which sends out care packages.

They designed their own fliers and started ringing doorbells in their surrounding neighborhoods to spread the word.

“A girl just came and dropped off 10 pounds [of candy] because of the flier,” Abby Anderson said in a phone interview. “It’s really nice.

It shows the veterans that they’re not forgotten.”

moting a good use for excess candy at Halloween.

She said candy for the troops the children also called aunts and veterans. and uncles and wrote letters Photo provided inviting out-of-state friends and relatives to participate. Packages have been sent to them from four states. Heather said her children are doing it in memory of her father, who was a U.S. Army private first-class in the Vietnam war.

“I did a lot of research on Operation Gratitude,” she said. “They have sent over 1.6 million care packages. The nice thing [is] you can request a care package for somebody and they send it free of charge to the person. It’s a great organization, and a great way for the kids to give back.”

Abby said they hope to collect 50 pounds of candy through their project.

“We were trick-or-treating in Geneva [at] a store called Copper Fox, and they donated son are the children of Heath- ing this is the second year five pounds,” she said. “We er and Brad Anderson. the two have undertaken the came back [the next day] to say “It is a wonderful project candy drive after learning of thank you, and they said, ‘Oh, – we are very proud of them,” Operation Gratitude at their we have another five pounds of Heather Anderson said, not- dentist’s office, which was pro- candy.

Abby said she and her brother each plan to tuck in a letter to be passed along to someone receiving a care package and hope to hear back.

“Just to let them know that our grandpa was in the war, and we’re doing it because he passed away … and we wanted to let them know that they are not forgotten and we really appreciate it,” she said.

Heather said the cavity-free duo will give away all the candy they’ve collected for the care packages, and the siblings are determined to meet their goal, adding, “Both my kids have big hearts.”

In talking about the candy drive, she said her daughter told her: “‘Mom, I just want to make one person smile.’”

The Operation Gratitude website at operationgratitude.com/operation-gratitude states it sends care packages filled with food, entertainment, personal care and handmade items, plus letters of appreciation to veterans, first responders, new recruits, wounded heroes, their caregivers, and to individually named U.S. service members deployed overseas and their families waiting at home.

Scentimental Gardens adds home decorating to repertoire

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – For nearly three decades, Scentimental Gardens and Antiques at 428 W. State St. in Geneva has helped people with their garden decorating plans.

Earlier this year, the business began offering additional decorating for all areas of the home, not just the landscape, owner Debra Phillips said.

“It’s really the whole shebang,” Phillips said. “I’m lucky in that my first love was as a horticulturist. I understand plants and design, and a lot of those principles extend to the home.”

The business now focuses on antiques, garden design, landscaping and outdoor decorating, and doing what Phillips called a “face-lift” indoors or outdoors.

For example, one customer’s home was Mediterranean with big pillars and dark rails, and they wanted to change it to French Normandy, Phillips said.

Know more More information is available by calling Scentimental Gardens and Antiques at 630-232-1303 or visiting www. scentimentalgardens.com.

“We changed out the rails – they became iron,” Phillips said. “We changed the colors from stucco yellow to a whitish taupe. We added shutters in brownish turquoise. And we changed the light fixtures and the house numbers.

There’s so much you can do without a major, expensive overhaul.”

So far, she’s done more than 15 houses and several have been out of state, including Florida, Nebraska and Tennessee, Phillips said.

“We have evolved in 27 years,” Phillips said. “We never offered this service Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com before, so we are kind of in a real unique position – we are the whole package. It Owner Debra Phillips works in her store, Scentimental Gardens and Antiques. The store, took me awhile to get there.”

428 W. State St. in Geneva, sells home and garden decor, as well as offers design services.

Fun in the sun When photographing haunted houses, I prefer to stay in the daylight. There are a couple reasons for this: one is so that I can see what I’m doing, and photos look better when you can actually see what’s being photographed; the other reason is that I don’t enjoy being scared out of my wits while carrying a dozen pounds of expensive cameras and lenses.

While touring the Batavia Park District’s Haunted Quarry recently, I noticed this skeleton, sunning itself perfectly.

OAK CREST DeKalb Area Retirement Center www.oakcrestdekalb.org

“Opportunity is knocking…”

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

When you think of nuts – the kind that grow on trees – it’s hard to not think of squirrels.

They are, after all, the most highly touted nut-gatherers in these parts, collecting the trees’ bounty almost as quickly as it falls. In fact, squirrels will even chew off acorn-laden branches to make the harvest easier.

These tendencies are so well known, they’ve been spun off into a common verb. Have you ever “squirreled away” a little something for a rainy day?

But working just as diligently as squirrels, particularly around oaks, is another animal that’s just as nuts about nuts: the blue jay, Cyanocitta cristata.

If you have a birdfeeder in your yard, you might already have witnessed these birds’ amazing hoarding skills. Digging their bills into the seeds, then tipping their heads back, blue jays at a full feeder look to be stuffing themselves silly.

It’s true, squirrels visit feeders, too, and help themselves to generous quantities of sunflower seeds and corn.

But squirrels are like shoppers in the express lane at Jewel – they get only a few items at a time. Blue jays, in contrast, are like customers at Sam’s Club. They stock up, taking the bird equivalent of a cartload of groceries all in one trip, then stash, or cache, them for use at a later date.

Visit kcchronicle.com/election-central/index.xml to learn more about the issues and candidates in the Nov. 8 election.

Sixth Congressional District Republican incumbent Peter Roskam and Democratic challenger Amanda Howland are split for the most part along party lines when it comes to the issues in the Nov. 8 election.

Roskam, a lawyer from Wheaton, is running for his sixth term representing the district in Congress. The district includes suburbs from Kane, Lake, Cook and DuPage counties.

Roskam and Howland, a lawyer from rural Hawthorn Woods and a College of Lake County trustee, differ on how to attack the country’s national debt, which at $19.7 trillion divides to more than $60,600 for every American man, woman and child. Roskam said reforms are needed to preserve entitlement programs and “responsibly” balance the budget, while making changes over time to give people time to plan and adapt.

“We must address the coming fiscal crisis now by making reforms that preserve the longterm health of our entitlement programs,” Roskam said. “And whether you like the idea of cutting government or not, the simple truth is we can’t get a handle on these problems without reducing spending in significant ways.”

For Howland, who calls herself a fiscal conservative and social moderate, the tax code should be changed to strengthen the middle class and minimize “loopholes, tax havens and accounting gimmicks” that allow the wealthy to avoid taxes. She also wants to see student debt be addressed and altering what she called Cold War-era defense spending.

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

shamefully disregarded future generations – maintaining outdated programs, funding wars ‘off-budget’ with hundreds of billions in deficit spending,” Howland said. “Whatever progress has been made, more must be done.”

Both candidates are split on what to do about problems with the Affordable Care Act, such as hefty rate increases and a limiting of options in the online marketplaces.

Howland wants the ACA reformed to address unintended problems such as high costs, rising premiums and high deductibles for people who cannot qualify for subsidies. She also said that unrestrained prescription drug costs need to be brought under control.

“Eliminating the ACA is not the answer,” Howland said. “It has many excellent provisions and has provided health care for millions who were previously uninsured. We can’t take away this vital safety net now that we have it. Too many families will suffer.”

NOTICE OF PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX INCREASE FOR THE BATAVIA PUBLIC LIBRARY DISTRICT PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given, as follows: Section 1. That a public hearing to approve a proposed tax increase for the Batavia Public Library District for 2016 (the Fiscal Year beginning 1 July 2016 and ending 30 June 2017) will be held on Tuesday, 15 November 2016, at 7:00 p.m., at the Batavia Public Library, 10 South Batavia Avenue, Batavia, Illinois.

Any person desiring to appear at the public hearing and present testimony to the taxing district may contact George H. Scheetz, Director, 10 South Batavia Avenue, Batavia, IL 60510-2449; (630) 879-1393 x 350.

Section 2. That the corporate and special purpose property taxes extended or abated for 2015 were $3,359,782.91.

The proposed corporate and special purpose taxes to be levied for 2016 are $3,351,000, which represents a decrease of 0.2614% from the previous year.

Section 3. That the property taxes extended or abated for debt service and public building commission leases for 2015 were $744,476.20.

3 November 2016

Roskam wants the ACA scrapped and replaced. He helped author the GOP’s proposal to replace it, and has in the meantime proposed creating a single, nationwide administrative office to cut down on waste, and to provide data about what works and what does not.

“Since the law’s passage in 2010, Americans have seen their health care costs skyrocket and their treatment choices limited,” Roskam said.

“Many families in our district have even had their plans canceled altogether. In short, far too many families in our community are paying more for less.”

When it comes to immigration reform, Roskam said any proposed changes are mostly irrelevant until the U.S. can secure its borders and control who enters and exits. Any opportunity to create a better system, Roskam said, requires a “firm foundation of security.”

“This isn’t just an economic and social issue – it’s also a matter of national security,” Roskam said. “In the wake of terrorist attacks in San Bernadino, Calif., Orlando, Fla., and around the globe, we need to take a long, hard look at our immigration

policies and close loopholes that can be exploited by those who mean us harm.”

Howland supports a path to citizenship for “responsible” illegal immigrants and wants to put the onus of enforcement on those who knowingly hire them, but also supports a significant investment in border security.

“Immigration reform should incorporate compassionate consideration, economic impact and stiff penalties for employers who knowingly hire undocumented workers,” Howland said. “Naturally, we must ensure we have a strong border, since we have every right and expectation that we will control who enters our country.”

Both candidates found common ground with skepticism over the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement with 11 other Pacific Rim countries, excluding China.

Roskam opposes the TPP in its current form, while supporting trade in general.

Howland, while supporting the idea of opening new markets and eliminating unfair tariffs against U.S. goods, said she is concerned about U.S. concessions, and cited promises of great benefits from previous trade pacts that she said ultimately failed to deliver.

IS YOUR CENTRAL VISION BLURRY OR CROOKED?

Older adults, in particular, should take note if their central vision becomes blurry, hazy, or crooked. These are symptoms of “age-related macular degeneration” (AMD), which is the leading cause of legal blindness among seniors.

It is important to diagnose AMD in its early stages to prevent severe vision loss. This eye condition, which involves deterioration of the central portion of the retina (called the “macula”), takes two forms: “Dry” AMD is caused by the formation of waste products (“drusen”) underneath the retina that cause atrophy. The more serious “wet” AMD involves the formation of leaky abnormal blood vessels beneath the retina. Typically, AMD progresses from the dry to the wet form, but some patients present with wet AMD initially.

P.S. While anyone may develop either dry or wet AMD after about age 50, the average onset of wet AMD usually occurs in a person’s late 70s to early 80s.

Engineering 101 and Its application to Investing SPONSORED BY

By Cammie Humke, Registered Representative at The Humke Group, Inc The basics of Engineering design popup everywhere once you start looking. Investing is a great example of the basic engineering system design. Understanding the structure of investing helps us approach financial decisions logically, using a methodology common in many critical decision-making disciplines.

1. Objectives. In order to solve any problem, you first need to know what you want. What is your goal? What are you willing to trade-off for what you want? What aren’t you willing to trade-off? There is always a cost for everything that we want. Be honest about the cost. It will be refreshing to admit to yourself that you have to give something up for everything that you want. The secret is to give up the things that you didn’t really want to begin with.

2. Decisions. Identify what factors you can control and what factors you have no control over. Are the potential impacts of the

uncontrollable factors tolerable? If not, you need to rethink everything. Focus only on the decisions that you are empowered to make to save your sanity.

3. System. Everything is a system. Most things in life have stuff going in and stuff coming out. The system is the thing in between the inputs and outputs. Sometimes you can know the system in elaborate detail, such as a car, and sometimes you cannot, such as the human brain. Investors often struggle with their inability to observe the impact of the inputs on the outputs. There are so many factors that drive market performance and most of those significant factors are unobservable (non-knowable), like knowing the CEO of a large company has an unknown heart issue and will fall over dead in a week. Investors often use statistical approaches, well-known as diversification, to minimize their need to know every important relationship of the financial market.

Natural remedies without drugs can heal autism, according to Dr. David Foss, doctor of chiropractic, Vital Wellness Center in Elburn.

Foss will discuss natural solutions for healing this disorder that afflicts one in 48 U.S. children at the fundraiser “Solving the Puzzle: A Natural Hope for the Future,” on Thursday, November 10 from 6-8:30 p.m. at the Heritage Prairie Farm, 2N308 Brundige Road in Elburn.

Open to parents, teachers, doctors, caregivers and others seeking information and resources about autism and related spectrum disorders, the fundraiser costs $50 per person or $80 per couple, and includes cocktails, appetizers, and dessert. Tickets are available at universe. com/solvingthepuzzle. The fundraiser benefits “Generation Rescue,” celebrity Jenny

McCarthy’s autism foundation. Foss is one of Generation Rescue’s recommended doctors.

How do natural solutions work? Foss explains, “When we remove toxicity from the body, healing begins. Toxins like mercury and aluminum, nutritional toxins found in our food and other environmental toxins all contribute to the problem. We utilize chiropractic care along with homeopathic and nutritional cleanses to assist the body in ridding these poisons.

Nutritional supplementation and diet further aid healing.”

He promotes gently realigning the spine “as soon as possible” for children to ensure proper neurological development. “I can detect warning signs of a neurodevelopmental disorder as early as 12 months of age. The earlier we can detect and correct the problem, the better.” Dr. Foss explains.

Foss will cover these topics and discuss resources during the upcoming fundraiser.

vehicle check is really ‘complete’ SPONSORED BY

Belts and hoses are not high on most drivers’ list of things to have checked heading into winter.

They are among the vehicle’s oft-forgotten components, the parts expected to just do their jobs and not cause trouble, unlike the battery, tires, wiper blades, oil, coolant and the other typical checklist items.

Yet a broken belt or hose can leave you stranded out there somewhere in the country or in the midst of a commute, and a “jump” from a friendly fellow motorist will not get you going again.

parts” when it’s completed, said John Velazquez, owner of Autobahn Automotive Service of St. Charles. Autobahn specializes in German-made vehicles such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Volkswagen and Audi.

Family-owned Autobahn follows this “complete disclosure” policy to personalize service and avoid miscommunication. For example, Velazquez said at some shops a customer might tell a “service advisor” there “is a noise in the right rear,” but the mechanic is just told “there is a noise.” The original reason the customer came in might not be addressed.

Autobahn mechanics don’t just fix the listed problem, either. They check other components, including the “forgotten” ones. Belt wear and tear could be due to a worn tensioner or bad pulley bearing, and hoses can absorb oil and weaken from a leak.

“It’s a matter of safety. A break could leave you stranded,” Velazquez said.

That’s why a good mechanic will check belts and hoses even if you don’t ask. An even better mechanic will bring you into the shop to explain the problem, and what it will cost.

”I always treat the client’s car as if my wife is going to drive it.”

“We encourage customers to come back and meet who’s going to be working on your car. We explain the work, and show you the new and old

Caroline Haskell Simpson, 90, of Geneva, died October 27, 2016 at the Atria Park of Glen Ellyn.

Caroline loved Geneva and the Fox Valley, and dedicated herself to their quality of life and legacy.

Caroline was especially interested in ensuring that Geneva’s history was gathered and passed on to each generation. She co-wrote a chapter of the 1985 book - Geneva, Illinois, A History of its Times and Places.

Caroline served on the board of the Geneva History Museum, where she was a vital contributor to its growth and its successful move in 2004 to its own building in downtown Geneva.

The museum has become an important learning center for students and other visitors.

Caroline and her husband Bruce were married for more than 50 years, celebrating their Golden Anniversary in 2001. Bruce served as Alderman of Geneva’s 2nd Ward after he retired. It was only fitting that she and Bruce were honored jointly in 1998 by the Geneva Chamber of Commerce with the Wood Community Service award for their hard work and devotion to the city.

Caroline was born June 30, 1926 at Evanston Hospital. She was the daughter of Sidney and Harriet Haskell. Caroline graduated from Geneva High School in 1944, and the Western College for Women (now Miami University of Ohio) in 1948.

She married Bruce Simpson of Sugar Grove in 1951. The two lived in the tri-city area through much of the 1950s while raising four sons.

Bruce and Caroline were involved with the Playmakers in Batavia, where she was president, actress, and prop and costume designer.

In 1961, Bruce joined the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C., and he and Caroline moved the family to Falls Church, Va. The family spent the tumultuous 1960s in the Washington area where Caroline was an opponent of the Viet Nam War and attended a legendary march on the Pentagon in 1967. She was also a docent with the National Gallery of Art. The family moved back to Geneva in 1974 when Bruce became executive vice president of the Chicago Board Options Exchange. The

“Enthusiasm for the Kane County Child Protection Mediation Program has grown among a host of different stakeholders,” stated the news release.

“That enthusiasm began with the Kane County judges who hear abuse and neglect cases and approached RSI about launching this program. It next came from a host of funders who were eager to back the program and from a coalition of stakeholders who have provided their input, expertise and support.”

The result is a program that has gone from concept to pilot in a matter of months.

Keep disposable diapers out of the recycling bin SPONSORED BY

Wondering the best way to get rid of those soiled disposable baby diapers?

Unfortunately, consumers often throw them into the recycling bin, according to Advanced Disposal.

But disposable diapers join the ranks of other items that cannot be recycled, including greasy pizza boxes and soiled napkins and tissues.

The impact of that recycling mistake can add up to a huge problem and very high costs.

While the shift toward single stream recycling (i.e. all items going into one bin or cart) makes recycling incredibly easy, it also means people often mix in items that cannot be

recycled with those that can.

That results in environmental service providers and local governments annually having to spend millions of dollars to remove items that shouldn’t be in the recycling stream.

By paying attention to what can and can’t be recycled, the process can be less costly and more efficient.

If throwing out disposable diapers has you concerned about all the paper and plastic that’s ending up in the landfill, check out the biodegradable disposable diaper options available by some companies.

While recycling is the first step in the process, it’s important to put materials in the cart or bin that actually belong there. Know before you throw.

For more information or any other questions, please visit Advanced Disposal at www.advanceddisposal.com.

so quickly has been such a tremendous experience,” said RSI’s Kane County mediation program manager Kevin Malone, who will both oversee and serve as a mediator in the Child Protection Mediation Program. “I believe this program will offer families an incredibly valuable and necessary service as they try to do the right thing for their children.”

Associate Judge William Parkhurst echoed Malone’s sentiments.

“When this program launches it will be just the third such program in the state,” he said. “I am proud that this court can offer the citizens of Kane County access to a much-needed service.”

Those interested in receiving training and serving as volunteer mediators are encouraged to apply by completing the application at http://tinyurl.com/ KaneCPMapp. Applications are due by Dec. 11 at midnight, or received by regular mail before Dec. 12.

A required two-day training on Jan. 20 and 21 must be completed to serve as a child protection mediator in Kane County. The training will teach prospective mediators specific skills necessary when dealing with child abuse and neglect cases.

The 16th Judicial Circuit Court of Kane County is seeking volunteer mediators for a new Child Protection Mediation Program set to launch in early 2017.

The Child Protection Mediation Program will provide a way to make plans that are in the best interest of abused and neglected children by bringing together families, social service agencies and the state to resolve issues that are keeping kids in foster care. Volunteer mediators are needed to facilitate these meetings and help stabilize families in Kane County, according to a news release.

The court has collaborated with the Chicago-based nonprofit Resolution Systems Institute, with the aid of grants from the Illinois Equal Justice Foundation, the Illinois Bar Foundation and the Court Improvement Program, to develop the new pilot program. The program will aim to serve up to 60 families in the next year, stated the news release. To do so, the Child Protection Mediation Program is accepting applications for 10 volunteer mediators to work in pairs and facilitate conversa-

OUR VIEW

Get out and vote Nov. 8 – it’s just a few days away. And, sure, the presidential election has gripped most of our attention (or caused some of us to run and hide), but a handful of local elections also deserves the consideration of Kane County voters.

Readers in the Kane County Chronicle’s coverage area will be asked to vote in at least one of the following races: U.S. House District 6, U.S. House District 11, U.S. House District 14, Illinois Senate District 25, Illinois House District 50, Kane County coroner, Kane County Board District 6, Kane County Board District 10, Kane County Board District 16 and Kane County Board District 18.

Information about candidates in these races is available through the Chronicle’s Election Central website, www.kcchronicle.com/ election-central. There, the candidates have been asked to submit biographical information about themselves, as well as answer a list of election-related questions.

Many of these candidates also have their own campaign websites, have been attending forums and are walking door to door to meet voters.

This is your chance to find out who will best represent you in government, and we urge readers to learn about the candidates and vote.

Need to find your polling place, determine your voter registration status, or view a sample ballot?

Visit www.kanecountyelections.org and enter your information in the available fields.

We live in a democracy, so vote for the candidate you think will best represent you and your vision for how exceptional our community can be.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Where has all the political signage gone?

With only days before the presidential election, front yards usually blossoming with signs shouting out candidates’ names lie dormant, silent, uncommitted.

This is the autumn of voters’ discontent. Aside from a few red, white and/or blue posters heralding a local politician, nothing has cropped up, as though lawns fear wearing a presidential choice on their green sleeves.

Do front yards dread their Hillary Clinton signs will prompt Donald Trump supporters to egg their houses better than a closed-door, lights-out, trick-or-treat refuse-nick’s? Are they scared to display a Trump badge because their caretakers may be imagined among a basket of deplorables?

Well, yeah, probably, something like that.

Even though political maps paint Illinois blue, Kane County bleeds red. A few stalwart Democrats wander untethered among the GOP majority, but, if smart, they go undercover, unwilling

RIVER TOWN CHRONICLES Rick Holinger to admit party affiliation at cookouts, Swedish Days or barn raisings. Easier to shrink from revealing their penchant for raising taxes on one-percenters, helping college students with overburdening loans and raising the minimum wage, than hearing ad nauseum about the fantasy of trickle-down theory and the horrors of Obamacare.

But even with strength in numbers, this year, Republicans have shirked their duty to publicly herald their nominee. Instead of cul-de-sacs, circle drives and downtown historical homes thundering crimson elephant herds trumpeting Trump’s name across their lawns, they refuse to tout their inclination.

Which raises the question, have Republicans turned libertarian, their Plan B to vote for a guy who doesn’t know Aleppo from Alpo?

Or might conservatives be going green, doing an aboutface, recognizing climate change for the planet-threatening heat and catastrophic weather it ignites, instead of pooh-poohing it?

Hey, I’m messin’ with ya.

Of course no slash-entitlements, build-a-wall advocate is going to vote green.

Hold on. There is evidence that voters have had enough of everyone! My wife, Tia, was walking our dog when she texted a photo of a yard sign with a large green check in a box designating “None of the above.”

Oh, wait. That doesn’t work, either. Although its comic effect is undeniable – as well as understandable – its message reeks of cop-out.

A vote for Nobody means a vote for Everybody. Choosing to sit this one out allows the weakest candidate to win – and the non-committed, unwilling-to-take-a-stand voters deserve the person they really didn’t want elected.

If, with a magic wand, I could change the presidential

candidates, I’d have lawn signs urging: • “Sully for president” • “Elect millennials: When the nation’s checkbook is overdrawn, they’ll call their parents for more money” • “Put the old fogeys in congress; they might not get anything done (except mow the lawn), but it’ll get them out of the house (paid for by The League of Old Fogeys’ Wives)” • “Vote for planet Earth before she can no longer run.”

The point is, no matter whom you vote for, follow Nike’s advice and just do it.

Your town, your country, your planet and, maybe your life, depend on it.

She was director of the Center for the Arts at Little City Foundation in Palatine, a facility that provides services for individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities. I knew right then how special she was, and one year later, we were married.

There are so many reasons why I fell in love with Corinne. I discovered her commitment to her family, her dedication to service and her incredible work ethic. Today with our three grown children and four grandchildren, we look forward to celebrating another happy wedding anniversary.

Corinne’s devotion to her family, community and career has only grown stronger with time. Corinne’s commitment to helping her community is clear: helping nonprofits succeed, lowering taxes on the St. Charles School District 303 Board and as a board member of the United Way, the St. Charles Housing Commission and the Illinois Business Enterprise Council.

As she has brought this energy, courage and determination to our family and her community, Corinne will also bring to Springfield a commitment to service and duty to the state Senate district and everyone in it.

There have been concerts that I have been forced to go to, and other concerts that I’ve bought tickets to and have been excited for to a certain extent. On Nov. 14, it will not be one of those types of concerts. On that day, my two friends and I are going to see a band called The 1975. Many of you probably have no idea who this band is. They aren’t megastars, and I am more than content with that. I’ve been wanting to see this band in concert since I started listening to them about a year and a half ago. Mainly, I have been anticipating the day to see them since I first got tickets months ago.

At the beginning of the year, when the band announced an upcoming tour, I quickly looked up the concert dates to see what cities they would stop in. I found out that the band was playing a show in Chicago, and I instantly knew I had to grab a pair of tickets. Once tickets went on sale, I grabbed my credit card and hopped on my computer to race to buy three tickets. Frankly, it’s a good thing I got tickets as soon as I did because the show sold out quickly. In fact, because the Chicago show sold out so fast and since there was such a high demand for tickets, a second Chicago show was added.

There’s something about The 1975’s music that is so soothing and lovely. They’re one of those bands that doesn’t necessarily have a specific music genre. They can be considered pop rock or alternative rock, but again, it’s hard to pinpoint an exact genre. They have a few songs that make you want to dance, of course, but, most of their songs are just calm, slow and so beautiful with lyrics that can be so heartbreaking and emotional. At least, that is how I personally describe their music. Essentially, it’s sort of difficult to describe the feeling that I get while listening to them. I suggest you look up a few of their songs and decide for yourself if you enjoy the band.

St. Charles North’s Eric Lins (No. 6) gets in on a tackle of Carmel’s Zaire Barnes on Oct. 29 during a first-round playoff game at North. The defense made a stop late in regulation and held in the second overtime as the North Stars won 31-24.

(179) and Sean Lynch (156).

Barnes ran for two scores, one in each half, the latter of which snagged the momentum back from North after another big defensive play.

Trailing 14-7, North was able to force Carmel quarterback Jeremy Strutzel to fumble a keeper, which was picked up by North’s Eric Lins and returned 35 yards for a game-tying score. Lins also scored the

game-tying touchdown in the fourth quarter that proved important to force overtime.

“It was just a battle from start to finish,” said Lins, who led North with 65 yards rushing. “After losing [to Benet] in the first round last year, we just never wanted to feel like that again. Our guys gave it everything they got. It was a fun game to be a part of.”

It took the North defense

Stars, the Knights survived for a 22-21 win against St. Rita in the first round to advance. Auburn’s Nathan Jarrett (two passing TDs vs.

St. Rita) is a threat through the air or on the ground, and Quawn Bell is the workhorse back. North’s stout defense will need to contain those two in order to win and move on. nine games to have its opponents reach 100 total points against them this season – 102 to be exact after Carmel’s 24.

After having trouble through the first three quarters with Barnes and his counter play out of the option, Pomazak said the North Stars went to a six-man front on de-

fense to try to shut down the perimeter. It certainly wasn’t easy to see the defense give up a few big plays, but as long as it made the plays when it had to, that’s all that mattered for North to survive and advance.

“It was all about the next play,” North senior defensive tackle Christopher Cotter said.

“The previous play is over and it’s about making a play on the next one. You have to be as fundamentally sound as you’ve been all [season]. The next play is the best play and that’s how it’s got to be.”

“Our saying is bend but don’t break,” Segobiano said.

“We knew [Carmel) was going to be a tough offense to stop, and they were going to get some yards. We made some adjustments after halftime and knew as long as we didn’t break, like in the last couple of minutes and overtime, we thought we would be OK.” After exchanging field goals on their possessions of the first overtime, Mettetal found Nubin on a roll-out, 6-yard touchdown on third-and-goal.

Carmel faced a fourth-and-goal from North’s 8-yard-line on the game’s final play, but Strutzel’s pass fell short to send North into the second round.

ST. CHARLES – The clock was ticking down on the season.

The St. Charles North defense needed to make a play as Carmel was driving and in field-goal range in the final minute of a tied game in the Class 7A first-round matchup on Oct. 29.

Lucas Segobiano was there to save North’s season.

The junior linebacker stripped the ball from Carmel’s fullback and the North Stars were able to recover, force overtime, and eventually hold off Carmel 31-24 in double overtime.

Quarterback Zach Mettetal found Tyler Nubin for a 6-yard score in double overtime after the teams exchanged field goals in the first OT, one of which was a 25-yard try from North’s Adam Durocher that he had to make to keep the North Stars’ season alive.

There were no guarantees that Carmel senior Matt Hellen would have made a field goal at the end of regulation to knock off the No. 9-seeded North Stars (9-1), but everyone knew after the game how big of a play it was.

“We continued to talk about effort on each play,” North coach Rob Pomazak said. “Lucas and the defense are dog tired there and he made a huge play for us. We teach the kids how to rip the ball, and Lucas is just a warrior out there. I told him after he made that play that it won the game for us. I had a good feeling [going into overtime], but, boy, was it close.”

Segobiano also made contributions on the offensive end, opening the scoring for the North Stars on a 24-yard catch and run from Mettetal early in the second quarter to tie the game at 7-7.

Carmel (5-5) used its triple-option offense to run for 393 yards, including a pair of 100-yard backs in Zaire Barnes

Second-quarter blitz leads to Batavia win Three TDs help Bulldogs move on to second round

By CHRIS ROLLIN WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – Batavia’s Glenn Albanese has pitched on plenty of warm and sunny days.

On an unseasonably summer-like day on Oct. 29, he was catching touchdown passes.

The senior, who is known more for his prowess on the mound as an intimidating 6-foot-5 right-handed hurler, caught a pair of touchdown passes from Riley Cooper to lead the Bulldogs to a 42-12 victory over McHenry in a Class 7A first-round game.

Albanese, who has committed to pitch at Louisville, was ecstatic to see the Bulldogs display a potent passing attack, especially to set the tone in the second quarter.

“All year we’ve had the running game and our passing has been our weakest point so far,” he said. “But they over-schemed our running game a bit and we spread it out. We got our passing game finally going and with that dual combo it made it difficult for them.”

The win sends the Bulldogs (8-2) into the second round to play Jacobs. It is the fourth time since 2011 they have moved on to the second round of the playoffs.

“We started to figure out what we can be and we can play for a lot of weeks here if we do what we’re capable of,” Batavia head coach Dennis Piron said. “I’m super proud of this team. They’re getting it. We’ll be going on the road, but we’re a pretty good road team so we’ll be excited about that.”

McHenry (6-4) struck first. After breaking a couple of tackles for a 23yard run, Gio Purpura then took it in for a 7-yard score with 5:36 remaining in the first quarter.

The Warriors didn’t do much offensively after that, although they did score on the first play of the fourth quarter to cut Batavia’s lead to 28-12.

But the Bulldogs answered with a pair of scoring runs from Jeremiah Evers to end any thought of a McHenry comeback.

“Our offense gave us momentum going forward,” Batavia linebacker Andrew Heinz said. “We wanted to stop [Purpura]. That was our main goal and we just toughened up, got gritty and made plays.”

HOCKEY ROUNDUP

GENEVA – It was a weekend of mixed results for the Fox Valley Hawks.

First was an Oct. 29 visit from the defending Illinois Suburban Hockey League champion DuPage Stars, the team that knocked off the Hawks in the league championship finals last season. Then there was a matinee visit to Bensenville on Oct. 30 to take on a much-improved Addison Trail/Willowbrook/Fenton Renegades.

The Hawks (4-1-2) extracted a bit of revenge on the Stars with a 5-3 win.

Against the AWF Renegades the Hawks were coasting along with a 4-0 lead with just over 14 minutes left in regulation when the bottom fell out. The Hawks were outplayed down the stretch and eventually fell 7-6 in a shootout.

“It was an awesome win for us,” Hawks coach Phil Gabrielsen said of the victory over the Stars. “I think it was tough for us to come with high intensity two in a row against two real quality teams in the Stars and AWF, which is

much improved over last season.”

The Hawks defeated AWF 9-2 last season in Bensenville.

A three-goal performance by Josh Gadow (St. Charles East) and two goals from Morgan York (St. Charles East) helped the Hawks turn back the Stars in the 5-3 win. Goaltender Will Lesswing (St. Charles North) earned the victory, stopping 29 of the 32 shots he faced on the evening.

“We moved the puck really good [Oct. 29],” Gabrielsen said. “We caught DuPage deep a couple of times. It was a big win for us. We spent a lot of emotion on [Oct. 29] and I think it caught up to us in the third period of the game with AWF.” The game with the Renegades saw the Hawks get even-strength goals, power-play goals and even a short-handed goal thanks to Tyler Nance (Kaneland), who got the Hawks’ first goal at the 15:50 mark of the opening period. Other goals for the Hawks came from Christian Kaiser (Geneva), Chris Monroe (Batavia) and Austin DeVitto (St. Charles East).

Chicago Steel earns shutout

son ties the USHL Tier 1 all-time record. Johnny Walker registered a goal for a league-leading seventh consecutive game, while Walker Duehr provided his second multipoint (goal, assist) effort against Cedar Rapids this season.

The Steel (10-0-0-0, 20 points) managed to open the scoring for the first time in three games. Duehr registered his sixth tally of the season in the first period before he fed Jake Jaremko for a goal in the second.

Just 2:15 into the third period, Walker’s shot rang off the iron, but he found the rebound and sent a backhanded shot into the net to increase the lead to 3-0.

With just 11 seconds remaining, Nappier made a terrific kick save on a penalty shot, securing the shutout and his sixth victory of the season.

Chicago returns home on Nov. 4 to face the Des Moines Buccaneers at 7:05 p.m. For tickets or more information, call 855-51-STEEL, stop by the box office at Fox Valley Ice Arena or visit ChicagoSteelHockeyTeam.com.

“I would not put the loss on Enzo.

There are 20 guys in our locker room and they each take responsibility for the loss. It was a team loss for us, but we will not give up four-goal leads again. We’ll get AWF the next time we see them, I am sure of that.”

Win in playoff opener keeps Saints unbeaten East scores 45 points in final three quarters, will face New Trier

By CHRIS CASEY editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – St. Charles East’s football team still didn’t feel the respect it deserved.

Entering the Class 8A playoffs unbeaten as Upstate Eight River champions, the Saints earned the No. 6 seed as they hosted No. 24 Lockport in a first-round game Oct. 28.

East did what it had done all season, and in convincing fashion, as it clicked on all cylinders in a 45-0 shutout of the Porters to remain unbeaten.

The shutout for East (10-0) was the second of the season, but putting up the points they did, and keeping the shutout intact, was a statement to anyone who doubted the Saints.

“It shows that we’re the real deal,” junior linebacker Pat Griffin said. “Every day we hear things that we’re not in the best conference or don’t play the best competition, but I think tonight proved that not only our defense but our offense and whole team really is the real deal. There’s always room for improvement, but I don’t think we could have come out here and played much better than we did tonight.”

Griffin and the Saints defense held Lockport (6-4) to just 125 yards of total offense, while the Saints offense gained 355 yards (303 rushing).

The Saints’ Abe Swanson had an interception, and so did teammate Josh Luedtke, who picked off Lockport quarterback Jake Karli in the end zone on the one major threat by the Porters.

Senior quarterback Zach Mitchell continued to lead a dominant offense as he ran for two scores.

Sophomore fullback Justin Jett scored three times and finished with a game-high 102 yards.

Despite a scoreless first quarter, the Saints got an early second-quarter touchdown on a fourth-and-goal run by Jett, which started a series of seven

St. Charles East players Thomas Anton (from left), Justin Hill, Dante Macaluso and Maxwell Hatch celebrate Macaluso’s touchdown Oct. 28 during a Class 8A first-round playoff game against Lockport. The Saints won 45-0 and move on to play New Trier in the second round.

Playoff matchup n WHO: St. Charles East at New

Trier n WHAT: Class 8A second-round football n WHEN: 7 p.m. Nov. 4 n WHERE: 7 N. Happ Road, Northfield n RECORDS: SCE 10-0; NT 8-2 n OUTLOOK: The Saints’ win in touchdowns in eight drives.

Another spark that got the Saints going was senior Dante Macaluso. A pitch from Mitchell to the senior running back late in the first half went 42 yards for a score to give East a 13-0 lead.

Macaluso had fallen into much more of a blocking role on the offense this season, but made a few important catches to go along with his long touchdown run to pick a good time

the playoff opener sealed the first double-digit win season since 1998, but the Saints want more. It won’t be easy against New Trier, which had a late score and defensive stop to advance past host Marist in the first round and earn a home game in this one. to have one of his better games of the season.

“It’s huge, honestly,” Macaluso said. “I’m glad I was able to make a play to give us some momentum tonight. This team is full of unselfish players that just want to help the team win.

We really don’t care who gets it done as long as we win.”

Macaluso’s touchdown was followed by another key play from the Saints’ defense when Lockport tried a fake punt, but

failed. Mitchell then hooked up with Macaluso to get close to the end zone before Mitchell’s 2-yard keeper gave East a 20-0 lead at the break.

Mitchell finished with 52 yards passing and 86 yards rushing to go along with his two rushing touchdowns.

East coach Bryce Farquhar has often said after wins that his team can always get better, and even though there was a turnover and a few penalties, he was extremely pleased with the way his team came to play against a Lockport team he felt was certainly no walkover.

“Lockport is a good team,” Farquhar said. “You look at the conference they play in [Southwest Suburban] and the teams they have lost to … no one expects to come out and get a running clock on them.

Our kids also felt they had a point to prove. We still feel we’re not getting the respect

we deserve in the 8A bracket, but I think we really played well.”

Dillon Gearhart added the final touchdown – a 3-yard score – for the Saints in the final minutes.

Farquhar said he and his coaches may talk about his team somehow still flying under the radar or being looked over at 10-0, but he said it’s not something discussed much with the players.

But they know.

“We don’t talk about it or try to build a chip [on our shoulder], but the kids are aware of it. They know about it,” Farquhar said.

“We couldn’t have asked for much better of a start (to the playoffs),” Jett said. “Everything clicked and, honestly, we hear it, but if people want to look past us, that’s fine. We just want to keep coming out here each week and hopefully put together a long run.”

BOYS SOCCER

By CHRIS CASEY LOMBARD – Once reaching the sectional round of the boys soccer playoffs, the games often are about taking advantage of the minimal opportunities that are given.

Teams usually are separated by the bounce of a ball in the final result.

St. Charles East can attest to that.

Jonathan Hernandez’s goal for Addison Trail in the 24th minute proved the only goal needed as the Blazers ended the Saints’ season 1-0 in the rain at the Class 3A Glenbard East Sectional semifinals on Oct. 25.

Hernandez finished off a cross from Christian Santiago that beat East goalkeeper Steven Owens. The Saints (17-42) pressed for much of the second half, but couldn’t find a way past the packedin defense of Addison Trail (21-1).

“You have to expect that in playoff soccer,” East coach Paul Jennison said of the Addison Trail defense.

“Whoever scores first has a good chance of winning these games. It’s unfortunate, but that’s the game.”

Seniors Owens (three saves) and Kevin Cook (one save) each played a half in net in the season-ending loss, while defenders Kieran Willig-Friedrich, Jack Kempf and Zach Nelson did an outstanding job of keeping the game a one-goal deficit in the second half.

“We left our hearts out on the field tonight,” Cook said. “We gave everything we had and it was just one of those games where they got one and time ran out on us. We couldn’t have asked for a better effort.”

While Jennison said teams that score first have good chances to win playoff games, that was not the case for St. Charles North, which took on Conant in

“You want to get an early lead against anybody, but especially a team that thrives off set pieces. It went all according to plan to start and kind of fell apart in the second half.”

DANTE MACALUSO St. Charles East Senior | Football

Eric Willson

Why Macaluso was selected:

St. Charles North coach

the sectional semifinal at Glenbard East prior to the St. Charles East game.

Jonny Acevedo gave the North Stars an early lead less than five minutes in, but Conant answered loudly with three second-half goals to advance to the sectional championship.

North coach Eric Willson thought the halftime break came at a perfect time as he began to see his team bend but not break. However, the next 40 minutes after halftime saw the defense break on a couple of set pieces, something he knew was a strength for the Cougars coming into the game.

“We knew that coming in and we didn’t execute,” Willson said. “They’re a good team and when you give teams opportunities that make plays on set pieces, you better execute and we did not.”

Acevedo’s early goal – on an assist from David Gorniak – gave North (154-3) some early confidence, but tallies from Michael Rizzo, Nuh Ozbag and Matt Biernat of Conant (14-7) ended the North Stars’ season.

“You want to get an early lead against anybody, but especially a team that thrives off set pieces,” Willson said.

“It went all according to plan to start and kind of fell apart in the second half.”

Macaluso broke a 42-yard run for a touchdown, and also caught two passes for 41 yards in St. Charles East’s 45-0 victory over Lockport in the first round of the playoffs.

St. Charles East senior running back Dante Macaluso may not have had the regular season offensively he might have thought. He made up for it in the playoff opener on Oct. 28. Coming into the game against Lockport in the first round of the Class 8A playoffs, he had carried the ball just 10 times all season. In the playoff game, Macaluso carried the ball four times for 58 yards and a 42-yard score. Macaluso, the St. Charles Bank & Trust Athlete of the Week, spoke with Kane County Chronicle correspondent Chris Casey to discuss the playoff game and the Saints’ unbeaten record.

Casey: Could you guys have asked

for a better start to the playoffs?

Macaluso: It was great. I think we keep on making bigger and bigger statements as the season goes on and keep trying to gain some of that respect that people may not have for us yet. But, yeah, I’m really happy about it.

Casey: What did tonight’s win do for this team moving forward with a 10-0 record?

Macaluso: I think it just continues to make us believe that we can beat any team we take the field against. Anything can happen in the playoffs and with the ability that we have to play hard and stick to our game plan, I think we can play with anyone.

DeKalb’s big third quarter puts end to Marmion’s season

By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com DEKALB – Marmion held DeKalb’s high-powered offense to 90 yards in the first half of a Class 6A playoff game Oct. 28.

Barbs senior Cole Tucker matched that total on his first touch of the second half.

Tucker had a long touchdown return on the opening kickoff in the third quarter, and the No. 7-seeded Barbs

bombarded the No. 10 Cadets with a huge third quarter on their way to a 35-20 victory.

“That was a game-changer in terms of momentum,” DeKalb coach Matt Weckler said of Tucker’s 90-yard return down the left sideline. “We can come out at halftime and make adjustments all you want, then you get a special teams touchdown [and] that changes the dimensions of your game plan.”

The Barbs (8-2) made the most of having the wind at their back in the third

quarter, outscoring the Cadets 28-0.

“That was probably our best quarter of the year,” Tucker said.

With Marmion (6-4) trailing 35-6 heading into the fourth quarter, the Cadets made the most of the wind to make things interesting late. Marmion junior quarterback Brandon McPherson went 7 for 8 for 180 yards and two touchdowns in the final period, including a 40-yard touchdown pass to Zach Urwiler and a 66-yard score to Jett Haas on a flea-flicker on back-to-back

offensive plays.

“We felt like we could take the wind [with us] in the fourth quarter because we felt like we could defend them [in the third],” Marmion coach Dan Thorpe said.

The DeKalb defense clamped down and forced a turnover, got three threeand-outs, and held the Cadets to just 18 yards in the third quarter.

McPherson finished 12 of 18 for 221 yards and two TDs. Running back Nick Sevenich had 11 carries for 69 yards.

KOVELS: ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING

BY TERRY & KIM KOVEL KOVELS.COM

Several rare“Heart and Crown”side chairs were sold at a 2016 Skinner auction in Massachusetts.

The high-back chair with molded bannisters, turned legs and a rush seat are part of an old tradition. Furniture makers in Connecticut created this style and used it from about 1740 to 1770. It was an interpretation of the expensive Philadelphia and Boston chairs made at the time.

The top of the back, made with a cut-out heart and a crown-shaped crest, was instead of the curved crest of the formal city chairs. Almost all of the Heart and Crown chairs were painted black or dark brown, and all had the rush seat.

An auctioned chair, 44 3/4 inches high and attributed to Andrew Durand of Milford, Connecticut, is painted black and has the characteristic banisters and turnings. It auctioned for $9,000, which was three times the estimate. *** Q: My aunt gave me a set of dishes that were a wedding present to her. She died about five years ago at the age of 90,so I think this set must be 70 to 75 years old. They are marked “Lifetime China Co., semi-vitreous, Alliance, Ohio, Jade Rose.”They also are stamped “Nautilus, Made in U.S.A.” What could I expect to get if I sold this set?’

A: Your aunt’s dishes aren’t as old as you think. The name “Lifetime China Co.” was used from 1953 to 1968 by a distributor associated with Cunningham and Pickett and Associated Companies in Alliance, Ohio. It sold products made by other companies. These Jade Rose dishes were made by Homer Laughlin on the

Nautilus shape. Dinnerware sets are hard to sell and some consignment shops won’t even take them. Plates sell online for as little as $5. A platter could cost $35. *** Q: I’d like the name of a reputable person who possibly could review a card and signature

by Laura I. Wilder and provide a Certificate of Authenticity.

A: The value of an autograph depends on the fame of the person and rarity. It is also determined by how it is written. If it’s part of a handwritten letter, it’s usually worth more than the same person’s autograph on a card or scrap of paper. In 2014, a note on the back of a Christmas card written and signed by Laura Ingalls Wilder, the author of “Little House on the Prairie” books, sold at auction for $1,875. Two of her books with her handwritten signature sold in one lot for over $3,000 in 2012. She usually wrote out “Ingalls” and didn’t use just an initial. If the autograph you have is just an initial,it may not be authentic.You can find places that authenticate autographs online, or you can contact an expert at an auction house that sells autographs. *** Q: I have an Australian military spoon I believe to be fromWorldWar II.TheAustralianArmy Rising Sun logo with the King’s Crown stamped on the top of the handle dates it to pre-1953. On the back of the spoon, it reads “Made in Japan.”

What can you tell me about this?

A: There are seven different versions of the Australian Rising Sun badge. The badge originally was designed for the Australian military that served in South Africa during the Second Boer War and was worn on a slouch hat. The first version, used beginning in February 1902, was based on an early design of the crown with swords and triangular bayonets around it. On

The chipotle-barbecue chicken flatbread is one of the shareable small plates at Bar Evolution, newly opened in Batavia on the east bank of relaxed place where you feel really the Fox River.

rtomell@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Watching his new bar take shape in a building along a stretch of Batavia riverside property undergoing its own transformation, owner John Hamel came up with the name for his latest enterprise, Bar Evolution.

It sits on the water’s east bank at 27 N. River St., where a ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned by the Batavia Chamber of Commerce at 5 p.m. Nov. 11. Drink specials and raffles will be part of the festivities of the grand opening weekend Nov. 11 to 13.

Hamel already has an affinity for the street, where Pal Joey’s sits a few doors to the north. He is co-owner of both the Batavia and West Chicago locations of Pal Joey’s, a restaurant and bar whose origins date back more than 40 years.

He said the community has invested money in reshaping the Batavia streetscape, where a major residential development is planned.

“I love the street, and what’s happening with the [new] bar is it’s evolving into something a little different,” Hamel said.

In gutting the building to create an inviting space for Bar Evolution, he served as general contractor. He said the historically significant building was once a creamery in the 1800s.

Eat Your Art Out to feature local artists

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.ocm GENEVA – The third annual Eat Your Art Out event will feature top local artists, a four-course artistic meal, live and silent auctions and a live art performance.

The event is a major fundraiser for the Geneva Cultural Arts Commission so it can fund cultural events in the city, said Jan Schmuckal, a local artist and commission member “It’s a wonderful event – and a foodie thing,” Schmuckal said. “All the dishes created by Herrington executive chef Jeff Potter are one-of-a-kind, created for that evening. He looks at all four pieces of featured art and gets inspiration from each one to help him create a unique dish. Each course will be paired with wine.”

Eat Your Art Out begins with a cocktail hour at 6 p.m. Nov. 5 at the Herrington Inn & Spa, 15 S. River Lane, Geneva, with dinner and a live auction hosted by Geneva Mayor Kevin Burns to follow from 7 to 9 p.m.

Tickets cost $125 per person and are available online at www.geneva.il.us.

Featured paintings to be auctioned will be “Serenity,” from Len Bielefeldt, “What is Happening in Geneva”

by Fatima Figueiredo, “How Pleasant Thy Banks” painted by Schmuckal and “State of Repose” from Karen Bordenave.

Bordenave, 57, a hair stylist at Khroma Salon & Studio in Geneva, said she was recruited by the arts commission to feature one of her paintings when a member saw her work at the salon.

Blogger’s book beats a path to ‘real food’ Popular food blogger Lisa Leake has designed her new cookbook, “100 Days of Real Food: Fast & Fabulous” (William Morrow), as an alternative to unhealthy, prepackaged processed foods.

In her book, Leake presents 100 quick and easy recipes – 25 of which have never been published until now.

Busy home cooks are her audience, especially parents.

Leake, who lives in Charlotte, N.C., with her husband and two daughters, says making and enjoying healthy meals needn’t be difficult or boring.

She covers a lot of ground: breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and snacks. Look also for supermarket staples and secrets; ideas for adult and kid-packed lunches; and new seasonal meal plans and shopping lists. Her book also offers helpful kitchen tips in the form of food prep guides storage cheat sheets.

The Soup and Stews chapter includes a fine recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup (at right). Among other interesting dishes are Citrus Salad with Crispy Quinoa; Cauliflower Nuggets; and Easy Baked Falafel (Chickpea Cakes).

Journalist Tom Witom, who lives in Elgin, has written extensively

TOM’S COOKBOOK LIBRARY Tom Witom

“It’s very thrilling,” Bordenave said. “It’s nice to be involved in the community.”

Bordenave’s painting for the event is an oil abstract nude woman seen from her back.

“I do all of it – abstract, realism. I do charcoal, acrylic and oil – pretty much anything but watercolor,” Bordenave said. “I work at the hair salon and … I do [painting] on the side, mostly doing commissions. It’s more than a hobby, but it’s not a full-time job.”

Artists also donated items and creative experiences for a silent auction, Schmuckal said, while artist Pam Hamilton will be creating a piece of art during dinner, which also will be available during the live auction, The money raised supports annual programs such as the Geneva Film

Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup Makes 4 to 5 servings 1 28-ounce can stewed tomatoes (with juice), chopped 1 zucchini, trimmed and cut into 1 inch chunks 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1 inch chunks 1 onion, finely diced 1 cup frozen (no need to thaw) or fresh corn kernels 1/2 jalapeno, seeded and minced (or keep the seeds if you like it hot!)

“With the exceptionally generous contributions to this year’s event, we hope to exceed prior year values and to expand our artistic reach in the community,” Monaco said.

Some of the creative touches in the new facade include sliding windows to open onto the street.

“We built some planter boxes and benches to encircle the patio, and there are tables and chairs out there,” Hamel said. “We have live-edged tables cut from fallen trees.”

He and a friend who owns a tree service made the unique tables themselves, Hamel said.

By SUSAN ONEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com ELBURN – The eighth annual Artisan Craft and Food Fair takes place Nov. 12 and 13 at Heritage Prairie Farm on Brundige Road in Elburn.

“Perfectly timed for the upcoming holiday season, this year’s event features more than 45 crafters and food vendors,” said Nicole Schultz, the farm’s marketing coordinator.

A number of vendors from previous years will return this year, including Uptown Soda Bread Co. of Naperville, Watershed Soaps of Batavia and Keya’s Mini Donuts of St. Charles, Schultz said.

Ludwig Farmstead Creamery of Fithian, Ill., will bring back its artisan traditional European raw milk cheese, made with milk from Holstein cows.

This year, Ludwig can brag about the blue ribbons it won at the Illinois State Fair for some of its cheeses, according to its website.

Sew Sisters Sew of Sleepy Hollow will offer handmade felted mittens, created from recycled wool sweaters.

Featuring unique patterns and colors, the mittens are also lined with fleece, for maximum comfort.

For one’s health-conscious family and friends, Monika’s Organic Bakery of Sycamore can provide gifts of authentic German breads, crackers, pretzels, sweets and more. Monika’s Bakery uses organic and GMO-free ingredients – sourced locally whenever possible.

Or choose a gift from one of Laura Nolan’s Twinkle Ever After up-cycled, vintage jewelry and accessories.

New vendors this year include Willow and Copper, featuring handmade jewelry made from wood, stone, glass and metal; Treasure Imagination with one-of-a-kind fairy “cabins” made with mostly-organic materials; and Creative Crochet of Oswego, offering crocheted hats, scarves, cowls, cozies and more.

The event will be held in Heritage Prairie Farm’s heated tent, the newly-renovated rustic barn and also in the greenhouse. Schultz said to make sure to stop by the farm store, where more local goods, produce and honey are available for sale. Eventgoers can visit with several animals living at the farm.

Heritage Prairie Farm started in 2006, growing produce in a sustainable, natural way. The farm became USDA-certified organic in 2014, according to its website.

Dear Dr. K: You’ve written that chronic

appetite, our metabolism – and inflammation.

To reduce inflammation, avoid or limit: • Refined carbohydrates, such as white bread and pastries; • Fried foods such as french fries; • Soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages; • Red meat (burgers, steaks); • Processed meat (hot dogs, cold cuts); • Margarine, shortening and lard.

On the flip side are foods and beverages that reduce the risk of inflammation and chronic disease. Fruits and vegetables are particularly effective. Good choices are blueberries, apples and leafy greens, which are high in natural antioxidants and polyphenols.

These are protective compounds found in plants. Nuts and coffee may also be protective.

Include plenty of these anti-inflammatory foods in your diet: • Tomatoes • Olive oil • Green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, kale and collards • Nuts, such as almonds and walnuts • Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, tuna and sardines • Fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, apples, cherries and oranges • Spices, particularly ginger and turmeric If you’re looking for a dietary plan that closely follows the tenets of anti-inflammatory eating, consider the Mediterranean diet. This diet is high in fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, fish and healthy oils.

inflammation has been linked to diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. Is there anything I can do to fight inflammation without using medications?

Dear Reader: Inflammation in the body is a double-edged sword. Short-lived inflammation, directed by your immune system at invaders like bacteria or viruses, protects your health.

But sometimes inflammation persists, even when there is no health threat. That’s when it can become your enemy. Many major diseases have been linked to chronic (ongoing) inflammation, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression and Alzheimer’s.

The good news is that powerful tools to combat inflammation can be found in the grocery store. I spoke to my colleague Dr. Frank Hu, professor of nutrition and epidemiology in the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health. He explained that components of many common foods have anti-inflammatory effects.

By choosing the right foods, you may be able to reduce your risk of illness. Consistently pick the wrong foods, however, and you might speed up the inflammatory disease process.

The same foods that contribute to inflammation are already generally considered bad for our health, so it’s easier to remember them. They include sodas, refined carbohydrates, and red and processed meats.

These foods affect inflammation directly.

They also contribute to weight gain, which is itself a risk factor for inflammation. How does that happen? When you put on weight, the fat cells in your body become more numerous and also grow larger.

We used to think that what fat did was provide a storehouse of energy for when we needed it, sort of like insulation that protected us against the cold. In the past 20 years we’ve learned that fat cells are little factories that make hormones and immune system chemicals. These substances influence our

60 Weather change signals

time to change batteries Dear Abby:

DEAR ABBY Fall is here and as we prepare Jeanne for a change in Phillips the weather, it’s also the time we turn our clocks back an hour from daylight saving time. Something that everyone also needs to change could save their lives. That “something” is the battery inside household devices that many take for granted – smoke alarms, smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors.

In the U.S., three out of five home fire deaths are caused by fires in homes with no smoke alarms or WORKING smoke alarms.

As a firefighter, I have seen these tragedies firsthand and believe it is my duty to make sure we lower this number. My mission is for no battery to go unchecked.

For the 29th consecutive year, Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) are partnering to educate the public about fire safety by reminding consumers of the importance of checking and changing the batteries not only in smoke alarms, but also every device that helps keep us safe and relaxed in our homes.

Think about your smart thermostats, flashlights, home security systems and other critical devices. Many of them have a battery component that must be checked and changed in order to ensure home safety. – Fire Chief John D. Sinclair, IAFC president and chairman of the board Dear Chief Sinclair: Thank you for the “time-

ly” reminder to my readers. I urge all of them to learn more about the Change Your Clock, Change Your Batteries program by visiting energizer.com/homesafety. And buy your replacement batteries now, so you can install them on Nov. 6 when you turn your clocks back.

Dear Abby: I am dating a great guy I have known for 10 years. We dated on and off, but always remained friends. We were friends during my marriage, the birth of my daughter and my divorce.

We are now dating again. I would like things to work out because he is such a great friend and great person. My 9-year-old daughter adores him, too. The problem is, I’m still having a sexual relationship with my ex-husband. The sex is great and I don’t want to stop, but I’m afraid it will come back to haunt me.

I have been involved one way or another with both of these men since 2005. I’d like to just date the guy I am with, but our sex life isn’t nearly as good as it is with my ex. I know I’m being selfish. What should I do? – Divided

are not free as long as you’re having sex with your ex. Be as good a friend to the “great guy” as he has been to you and let him go so he can find a lady who values what he has to offer.

Right now what you are doing is extremely unfair to HIM.

you grow taller.

The height of the mother and father is the most dominant factor determining a child’s eventual height. But the height of grandparents and great-grandparents, etc., also plays a smaller role in a child’s height. Relatively short parents can have a relatively tall child, but Mother Nature’s rule is that when both parents are short, their children will follow suit.

Boys continue to grow to somewhere around their 18th birthday and some continue to grow into their 20’s. Most boys have a “growth spurt” where 2 or more inches of height is added in a few months. This usually takes place from age12 to 14.

(These six countries were compared with each other.)

It is notable that the teenage abortion percentage alone in the United States is higher than the combined abortion percentages in the five previously mentioned countries. Those developed countries with the most liberal attitudes toward sex, the most easily accessible contraceptive services for teenagers and the most effective formal and informal programs for sex education have the lowest rates of teenage pregnancy, abortion and childbearing.

France, England and Sweden have a national policy encouraging sex education in the schools.

Holland, Canada and the United States leave it up to the individual schools themselves.

The authors of this study concluded that, although the specific approaches used vary from country to country, increasing the legitimacy and availability of contraception and sex education (in its broadest sense) have been effective in reducing teenage pregnancy rates in other developed countries and that there is no reason to believe such an approach would not be successful in the United States.

They note that “American teenagers, at present, have inherited the worst of all possible worlds regarding their exposure to messages about sex. (The media) tell them that sex is romantic, exciting, titillating ... yet at the same time (they) get the message that good girls should say no. Almost nothing they see or hear about sex informs them about contraception or the importance of avoiding pregnancy.”

Blaine Raddon’s new home in the mountains of Sandy, Utah, has many features built in with his dog’s comfort and color in mind.

“The dog settled into the house quicker than we did,” Raddon said. “It took him less than a day to figure out the pet door and the fence. Now, he feels like he is the king of the castle.”

A design with pets in mind

By CAMILLA MCLAUGHLIN Special to The Washington Post SANDY, Utah – Not long ago, a collar, a leash, a bowl and possibly an outdoor kennel were what most people had as pet amenities.

Today, there are designer accessories, electronic feeders, automatic pet doors, special showers and tubs, and flat-screen TVs positioned at Fido’s and Fifi’s heights, not to mention the ultimate luxury: a room of their own.

Some builders are making pets a centerpiece of their home designs – and buyers are responding positively.

In 2014, when Standard Pacific, a builder based in Irvine, Calif., offered pet rooms as an option at a new community in Brea, Calif., prospective buyers and their pets lined up for the grand opening.

Since then, Standard Pacific has expanded such rooms and other pet amenities to all 27 of its communities.

Besides the in-home features, many developments offer dog parks, exercise stations, drinking fountains, wash

Standard Pacific’s national director of architecture. “In one home, I actually had four dogs that piled into my lap.”

Said Rhyse Altman, an architect designer with Visbeen Architects in Grand Rapids, Mich.: “We are finding that pet owners are growing more aware of the benefits of designing homes with pets in mind.”

Altman added, “What we are most concerned with is making it easier for their pets to eat, sleep, play, et cetera, on their own terms with as much independence as possible. The last thing a pet owner wants is to be tripping over food dishes, staring at a kennel in the middle of the living room, smelling the litter box or getting up in the middle of the night to let the dog out.”

Nancy Twomey started her kid-focused design business by hand-painting chests and drawing murals of stars in New Hampshire. Almost 20 years later, she has become an expert on how to create stylish children’s rooms and has her own design studio in Alexandria, Va., Finnian’s Moon Interiors.

“I have a feel for mixing materials and not wanting children’s spaces to look all new,” Twomey said. “Kids’ bedrooms and nurseries shouldn’t look like furniture showrooms.”

She’s an expert at navigating small spaces and maximizing what’s usually one of the smallest rooms in the house.

She loves finding a color that’s a bit off the grid. “I love a great chartreuse, teal or orange nursery,” she said.

“And that color grows with the child.”

Twomey urges clients to incorporate something special that they already own into a child’s room, or update an old family chest or repurpose a chair.

She cautions against buying typical kidthemed furniture. “You need to anchor a room with something in wood,” she said. “You want to limit the plastic.”

When it’s time for kids to go back to school, smart parents know that in addition to buying school supplies and lunch ingredients, they need to prepare a dedicated study space in their home.

Once a nook is claimed for studying, though, the challenge comes in making it a place a child wants to be. Because if your kid doesn’t like cramming for tests there, what’s the point?

Whether your child is studying at the kitchen table or has a whole room devoted to scholastic endeavors, personalization, ownership and especially color are key. “I am a firm Photo provided by Flor believer that color With Flor carpet tiles, sparks creativity and affects the way even the floor can be creative. you feel in any given space,” said Jenna Gross of Georgia’s Colordrunk Design. “Bright colors can be energizing, and a fun atmosphere will encourage them to work and study.” Balance a generally calm, white study area with bits

(She chose orange.) With four boys of her own, she has a room in her house with two sets of vintage Army barracks bunk beds that she uses for sleepovers and holiday guests.

• Roomy dresser: “I’m a fan of having one big dresser in a kid’s room,” Twomey said. “Pick something in a warm wood in a style that will have longevity.” She liked the Calvin Eight-Drawer Dresser with natural-steel hardware. Her advice for anyone furnishing a child’s room: Go for eight smaller drawers instead of four larger drawers in a chest. “It’s easier for kids to organize when there are individual drawers for each type of clothing.”

• Comfortable chair: Twomey spotted the Crest Swivel Chair in a corner of the store and immediately was drawn to it. She loved its compact, modern silhouette and that it was made in a durable Sunbrella canvas fabric available in a neutral cement gray. “You have to be space-conscious in most nurseries and kids’ rooms because the space often isn’t very large. There is often only room for one chair,” Twomey said. She likes to use small-profile chairs that are made for

• Fabric storage bin: Storage is a huge deal in kids’ rooms, especially since many of the spaces are very small to begin with. And of course, kids tend to have a lot of stuff. Twomey liked the Kori Storage Bin in gray ($99). It’s 14 inches square and 10 inches high, so it can fit under many bed styles. This design is handcrafted in Rhode Island from a braided woolblend fabric. It gives the room texture and warmth, she said. And it’s a nice alternative to plastic storage bins. “I like the fact that this piece is soft, so it won’t scratch or bang the other furni-

• Multipurpose stool: Plastic has its place, Twomey said, if you keep it to a minimum. This plastic stool can add a jolt of color and serve a number of functions in a child’s room. Twomey chose the KidsErgo Stool. It’s 15 inches high, and she could see it used as a kid’s nightstand. It also can be pulled up for extra seating. The stool allows the body to rock gently when a child sits on it, the Room & Board website said, so it helps build strength and flexibility. “I like that it also can be cleaned with a sponge,” Twomey said.

I’ve decorated a lot of kids’ rooms lately, and it’s trendy for parents to freely include their kids in all decisions, whether it’s the color of the walls or the pile thickness of the carpet. The problem with this approach is that most parents want their kids’ rooms to look the way they want, not the way the kids want. So involving a 6- to 16-year-old in the process is a ruse that often leads to someone (usually the kid) being dissatisfied. To have the decorating process go smoothly and end up with both parent and kid happy, you, the parent, need to control the process: Give your kids a taste of self-expression and, at the same time, teach them important life lessons.

Here are a few decorating do’s and don’ts that, if followed, should earn you and your kid an A+ in decorating.

• Use Pinterest and other online tools:

The first thing I do when I start working on a kid’s room is to ask the boy or girl to create a Pinterest board with images of rooms, colors, patterns and anything else that might be informative of his or her style. A quick Google Images search of “kids’ rooms” reaps more pictures than one could ever sift through, so it’s best to edit the results

and rugs. By doing this, you control the outcome, yet your child feels as though he or she is the one making the final decisions.

• Don’t force your habits on your kids:

All too often I hear parents insist that their child’s room have a certain piece of furniture or particular type of furniture arrangement – declarations that usually center on the parents’ habits, not the kid’s. This is especially true of study spaces; parents typically want their kids to have proper workspaces with ergonomic seating and appropriate task lighting, items that are not useful if you have a kid who likes to work on his or her bed.

(Both of my kids work exclusively on their beds, so neither one has a desk.)

• Layer: No matter the chosen design direction, I always layer lots of pillows in kids’ rooms. Young kids use them to make forts, and big kids use them to lounge around, especially when friends are visiting. I also like to layer rugs, particularly if the room has wall-towall carpeting. A fun flokati or colorful striped rug layered on top of wall-to-wall carpeting not only makes sitting on the floor more comfortable but also protects the carpet from spills and stains.

your child have settled on a general design direction for the room and have a list of needed items, you need to create a budget. I like to make a spreadsheet with all items listed, where they are from and how much they cost. I am clear even with young kids that there is a limit to what their parents can afford.

I recently had a design discussion with a sophisticated 10-year-old boy over a light fixture; the one he liked (Poul Henningsen’s iconic Artichoke Lamp, available at Design Within Reach) was more than $9,000. Once he grasped that the fixture cost three times the overall budget for the room, he quickly accepted my suggested replacement: Ikea’s PS 2014 Pendant Lamp for $129.

• Don’t give into fads: Pokémon might be enjoying a renaissance, but I would never allow kids to decorate their rooms based on the creature or trend du jour. Instead, let your kids express their current obsession in small ways: a poster, lampshade or pillow.

• Don’t offer too many choices: Always present kids with edited design choices. This might sound counter to my previous suggestion to surf the entire web for inspiration, but the trick, once a direction is agreed upon, is to present to your child no more than three options (two is even better!) of fabrics, furniture pieces, colors

using the suggested terms that pop up in the navigation bar (specifying color, style, etc.). For younger kids, parents should either surf the internet with them or put together a list of acceptable sites for them to visit.

For help in narrowing down a color scheme, try PPG’s Voice of Color game (ppgvoiceofcolor.com). Users contemplate a series of questions (image and word preferences) that, once answered, prescribe a personalized color palette.

Some of the nine questions might need to be translated for younger kids, but the quick and fun game gives you a starting point to discuss color options.

Some of the most fun my young clients have had is on Furnish Up (furnishup.com), a free, easy-to-navigate program that lets you select, place and rearrange furniture in a virtual room.

Just enter your room dimensions, add windows and doors, then “shop” from a library of currently available items from stores such as Ikea, Pottery Barn, Crate & Barrel and Blu Dot. Although the selection of pieces is limited (and there is no furniture just for kids), you can find generic-enough items that can act as stand-ins. The exercise gives you and your child a good idea of what can fit in the room and what the general floor plan will be.

Things to do – and not do – when decorating children’s rooms

• STUDY

Continued from page 63 forget to provide display areas for kids’ awards and funny photos of friends.

As Houck puts it, “The most important thing is to make sure the child has ownership over the space and uses it.”

Suggestions for a home study space: • “The older kids don’t need a desk as much because they’re typing on their laptops,” Houck said, “whereas the younger kids still do need a surface.”

Pick something versatile that will grow with your kids, if you have the space, such as the Adjustable Activity Table, in small or medium ($239 to $249, landofnod. com). Perfect for a toddler’s train table and a first-grader’s homework spot.

• “If kids aren’t great at sitting still, a wobble stool or a swinging chair are other great alternatives,” Gross said.

“I would steer clear from a chaise lounge or beanbag; kids may just fall asleep.” The Kore Wobble Chair ($50 to $80, reallygoodstuff.com) for kids comes in four heights – for toddlers, preschoolers, older kids and teens – and has a rounded bottom that lets users rock in small movements.

• Not just for fun, Rustalgic’s typographical decorations, such as the Marquee Ampersand Wall Decor ($126, wayfair.com), which comes in eight colors, also shed light on a study space. They add a whimsical and industrial touch to a room.

• “Make sure kids have proper task lighting,” Houck said. “You need a desk lamp.” Swivel two lights in one fixture with the Olson Collection Two Head Task Lamp ($40, target.com). “You might also need an overhead.”

• The splurge-worthy 19th century British Drum Bookcase ($1,849, rhbabyandchild.com) is a surefire way to give a study space personality. Based on the design of British snare drums, the bookcase has nine cubbies for storage and display.

• With Flor carpet tiles, even the floor is an opportunity to be creative.

“You can almost create any design that you want,” Gross said. “And if there’s a spill, you can take that one square up.” Her pick for happy-making color is Picnic Breakfast, a plaid-inspired medley ($301 to $812, flor.com).

• Basic cream meets bright cotton tufts on the Rainbow Tufts Basket ($20 to $28, anthropologie.com). Use it to tote binders and notebooks around the house if your student is a mobile learner or to store textbooks bedside for teens.

• Chances are, Poppin has your child’s favorite color in chairs, desk accessories, notebooks, pens – or even the Stow Three-Drawer File Cabinet ($229, poppin. com). Bye-bye, boring steel. Hello, orange, yellow, navy, blue, aqua, pink, red, black, white, light gray or charcoal. “When they’re younger, try to teach them that this goes here, this goes there,” Houck said. “Then they have a steppingstone to how they can organize later in life.”

ABOVE: Pin boards, whiteboards and chalkboards, such as the Framed Navy Chalkboard, allow kids to put their individuality on display and change things up over time.

Such boards are a good parent-child DIY project, too.

LEFT: The 19th century British Drum Bookcase is a surefire way to give a study space personality.

• There are lots of seating options for kids today that don’t look like traditional, hard, straight-backed chairs.

For its Fur Rockin’ Roller Desk Chairs ($149 each, pbteen.com), PBteen takes an exercise ball, covers it with a slipcover and adds a chrome base. The chairs come in faux fur or fleece.

• “Having a space dedicated just for

students and their studies helps them stay organized and get things done,” Gross said. Organize paper clips and thumb drives in the Rainbow Mobin Wall-Mounted Organizer ($15, containerstore.com). Each container tips down and can be removed individually.

• “The Kallax shelving unit from Ikea is something I buy for a majority of the kids’

rooms I design,” Gross said. “It is inexpensive, comes in a variety of bright colors and offers varied storage solutions, especially when the custom baskets and bins, also sold by Ikea, are incorporated.” Of green, red, yellow, white, birch and black, Gross’s pick is yellow ($66, ikea.com).

• Because of its sophisticated tufting, adjustable height and casters, the Lorraine Swivel Desk Chair could roll with a teen right through college and beyond ($349, potterybarnkids.com).

Its light-gray linen upholstery could be the tranquil note in an otherwise boisterously colorful space.

• Although color can be fun in a child’s study space, the challenge is to not have it be distracting. “Consider tranquility in the palette,” Houck said.

The pastel mint of the Mid-Century Mini Desk ($399, westelm.com) has personality, but not too much.

• “You’re kind of trying to determine what their taste is,” Houck said, noting that kids’ tastes will continue to evolve, so build in some flexibility.

Pin boards, whiteboards and chalkboards, such as the Framed Navy Chalkboard ($129 to $199, potterybarnkids.com), allow kids to put their individuality on display and change it over time. Such boards are a good parent-child DIY project, too.

• PETS

“Great Danes really don’t shed very much, but we picked these floors so any shedding would blend in,” Blaine Raddon says. ing, they said having a pet was a part of their life vision.

During the monthslong process of designing the home with architect Russ Platt, they made accommodating a dog or two – and potentially a very large dog – a priority.

Early on, they decided on a breed – Great Dane – but their puppy, a blue male they named Blu, didn’t come on the scene until they were selecting their finishes, tile and flooring.

Located in Little Cottonwood Canyon in Sandy, Utah, the home is a striking contemporary that edges into

the steep slope of the canyon’s hillside.

Huge windows take in views of granite peaks to the north, the green of the surrounding forest and elevated views across the valley to the city in the distance.

A line of clerestory windows above the great room infuses even more natural light to both levels of the home.

Telescoping doors made up of double-wide sheets of glass open the great room and the second-floor master bedroom to covered decks. Once the new landscaping matures, Raddon said, the areas surrounding the house will

Thursday, November 3, 2016 • Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com

Americans’ spending on food, supplies and veterinary services reached an all-time high last year and experts are projecting that the number will surpass $60 billion this year.

The demographics of pet ownership are beginning to shift toward millennials and younger owners who, according to a survey by the American Pet Products Association, tend to spend more and pamper their pets more than their parents and grandparents did.

Although baby boomers were the ones who really set the pet-pampering trend in motion, millennials are expected to dote even more on their pets, which means that in future years the term “pet amenities” might take on an entirely different meaning.

“Whatever people want for their pets, they are going to get,” said Rhona Sutter, a real estate agent in Naples, Fla., who founded the Pet Realty Network, which helps prospective buyers find pet-friendly properties.

“Pets are something buyers definitely take into consideration now.”

For one couple outside Salt Lake City, pets were an important consideration in the design of an entire house.

Even though Blaine Raddon and Stacy Johnstun didn’t have a dog when they first thought about build-

return to the existing natural terrain.

The property has an underground electronic fence for Blu and includes natural spots for him to play.

In Utah, Raddon’s house includes dual offices on the main level that share a bathroom with a walkin shower that Raddon uses as a dog-washing area. The location is just off the garage; another outdoor patio is also nearby.

A place to bathe dogs is another frequent request from pet owners; mud rooms are the setting where dog washes are frequently placed.

Some are elaborate, with seats for owners, steps for easy access if they are not walk-in, and what Lake calls the “all-important hook for a leash to contain those dogs that are wary of the water.” Typically these washing areas are placed near an outside entry or a garage so a muddy dog can be hosed off before entering the house.

Although Raddon’s house may not feature a pet space similar to those offered by Standard Pacific, a bedroom on the second floor has been outfitted to be a hangout for Blu. With a bunk bed, the room is still versatile enough for younger guests, but the oversized bottom bunk is an ideal place for even a Great Dane to stretch out. It’s positioned a little higher off the ground so the area underneath can accommodate a pet bed and becomes a cave-like hideaway.

MOTORCYCLES WANTED RELEASE DATE: 10/30/2016

Cory Doctorow, a Canadian-British blogger, journalist and science fiction author, wrote, “Abnormal is so common, it’s practically normal.”

At the bridge table, the abnormal happens rarely, and most of the time it is missed, especially on defense.

It is hard to make a play that would normally be suicidal but is the only winner on a given deal.

How should West analyze this layout? South is in four spades. West leads the club queen. South wins with his ace and plays a low trump.

From where should West hope to find four tricks?

North’s Jacoby Forcing Raise showed four-plus trumps and at least game-forcing values. South, with a minimum opening bid and no short suit, jumped to game.

Most defenders sitting West would immediately play second hand low at trick two. Then, though, declarer would win on the board and lead another trump. He would lose only one spade and two hearts.

When the dummy appears, the defenders should ask for a timeout so that they can analyze the deal. Here, West can see two defensive tricks: his spade ace and heart king. He should next count the high-card points. He has 10, and dummy holds 14. That leaves 16 for the other two players.

East can have just one high card.

Which one would be useful?

Only the heart ace. West must win the second trick and shift to the heart king. Here, that works perfectly; the defenders take the spade ace, two top hearts and a heart ruff. But if it turned out that South had the heart ace, this play would cost only an overtrick.

Keep counting those points.

With medicine evolving we are able to now offer patients cutting edge treatment options that are alternatives to joint replacement surgery. The Stem Cell Institute of America offers therapies that are cutting edge treatment ideal for improving joint mobility, reducing joint pain and preventing costly and painful surgeries.

At the Wellness Institute of Illinois we have partnered with Stem Cell Institute of America because our providers understand you or someone you love may have been diagnosed with Arthritis, Degenerative Joint Disease or been told you are bone on bone.

We know that as people are diagnosed with these conditions, common

treatments ensue, including OTC medications, prescription drugs, pain killers, physical therapy, injections including cortisone and “rooster comb” (Synvisc, Orthovisc...) and even surgery.

As treatments are tried, the benefit and relief from many of these therapies is short lived and other treatment options are provided to take the previous protocol’s place and still temporary results are obtained. The end result for many of these conditions is major surgery, like a total joint replacement, or live with chronic pain and disability. We have the solution to all these problems and it’s Regenerative Medicine presented by Stem Cell Institute of America.

Regenerative therapy takes advantage of your body’s ability to repair itself, naturally. The army of healing cells is injected to the area by one of our trained practitioners. These procedures are SAFE, ETHICAL and EFFECTIVE at repairing damage and reducing pain while improving your function.

Stem Cell Institute of America’s protocol uses the healing potential of cells derived from Amniotic and Placental Tissue.

This tissue is a rich source of nonimmunogenic cells nearly eliminating the risk of rejection or side effects while providing an incredible healing force in your body. Over the span of a few weeks to months, the cells and growth factors assist your bodies ability to repair and regenerate cartilage, ligaments, joint fluid, muscles, tissues and even nerves. This simple in office procedure can have an incredible impact on your function and restore your pain free life.
