Marklund honors special needs man for volunteerism KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@shawmedia.com BLACKBERRY TOWNSHIP – Geneva resident Evan Clark, a volunteer at Marklund at Mill Creek near Geneva, was awarded the Marklund 2015 Volunteer of the Year Award in honor of his dedication to the organization and 453 hours of service given at the Mill Creek campus, a press release states.

Clark, who has special needs, has volunteered at Marklund for three years, the release stated. Marklund is in the Mill Creek subdivision near Geneva.

As a volunteer, Clark assists with activities and food service in the developmental training classrooms and goes with clients and staff on community integration outings, the release stated.

“Evan greets staff and clients alike with a smile and a high five, and his

mood instantly makes you want to return the smile,” said Colette Dragoo, a developmental instructor, in the release.

“One of the best parts about him is he will literally drop everything to assist, whether it be to take meal trays or assist with client transports. These small gestures make a world of difference.”

Becky Stewart, whose son, Tyler, is a client at Marklund, said she could not think of a volunteer who is more deserving of the award, the release stated.

“He holds a special place in my heart for all that he does and all that he is,” Stewart said in the release.

Maryland is a non-profit that serves nearly 200 families and individuals with special needs throughout the Chicago area. Several other volunteers also were honored at the annual volunteer recognition event.

Aldermen vote on zoning, master plan issues

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Aldermen voted to support the Geneva Plan Commission’s findings regarding six resolutions pertaining to the former Cetron property and the now defunct Marquette redevelopment proposal for Seventh and State streets.

After more than an hour of discussion May 9, aldermen acted as the Committee of the Whole to recommend the Plan Commission’s findings. Final action will be taken by the City Council.

Marquette withdrew its controversial proposal to build 202 apartments in a building three to five stories high.

The Plan Commission had voted on some of nine requests before Marquette withdrew its application.

The actions included changing the city’s downtown master plan for the future land use designation for the Cetron property to be downtown commercial mixed use instead of public and semi-public.

Community Development Director David Degroot said the designation occurred because officials thought the

Geneva Public Library was going to have a new building there.

“The Plan Commission strongly recommended that we should re-evaluate this opportunity site in more detail,” Degroot said.

Aldermen also approved amending the master plan to change a portion of the Cetron property’s future land David use to downtown com- Degroot mercial mixed use from industrial office. Aldermen also approved amending the zoning ordinance covering office and commercial districts and planned unit developments.

Degroot said the zoning change applies to areas of the community where planned development or use of specific parcels requires special attention.

“This could be due to economic or functional obsolescence, improvements, physical challenges [or] configurations of the site,” Degroot said.

The amendment would simply add the Cetron property to those special properties already listed in the city’s zoning code, Degroot said.

“I side with the Plan Commission on this pretty strongly,” 2nd Ward Alderman Don Cummings said. “I think I do agree this is a special piece of property. … Because it is so unusual and so special, I would rather ... have a piece of property with less flexibility. So a developer has to – from day one – come to us.”

Fifth Ward Alderman Craig Maladra said he agreed.

“Our zoning is our protection,” Maladra said. “It’s our physical way of controlling what we envision for an area, and we ought not to change it unless we ask for a discernible benefit.”

Attorney Patrick Griffin, who represents Marquette, said the city’s zoning ordinance and its comprehensive plan are in conflict.

“On behalf of my client, the applicant, we are just looking for consistency in what can be developed,” Griffin said.

“Without that consistency ... from your planning documents, it’s really impossible to know what to come back with.”

Other actions the committee took supported maintaining setbacks, bulk and floor area ratio requirements to control lot coverage and density.

Spilling secrets

Kindness, mutual respect and humor help Geneva couple reach 70th anniversary

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com BLACKBERRY TOWNSHIP – Terry McConnaughay and his wife, Rockie, marked their 70th wedding anniversary with a blowout party at GreenFields of Geneva.

Terry McConnaughay is 96, and Rockie McConnaughay will soon mark her 96th birthday. The couple was honored for their longevity with a coffee and cake reception for family, friends and fellow residents at GreenFields, a senior living community, in Blackberry Township.

“They are the oldest married couple in independent living at GreenFields of Geneva,” said their son, Mark McConnaughay. They moved in three years ago, he said.

The two married on May 2, 1946, waiting until after Terry McConnaughay completed his service in the Air Force during World War II. He served in England, France and Germany as a master sergeant and crew chief for P-47s, fighter planes. He was awarded the Bronze Star in 1944.

The secret of their marital longevity is simple enough: They respect each other as individuals and never go to bed angry, they both said.

“Don’t go to bed mad – make up before you go to bed,” Terry McConnaughay said. “Realize that things aren’t that bad to quarrel about.”

“Terry has more of a temper than I do,” Rockie McConnaughay said.

“And when he has his temper, and when I shut up, he stops and thinks about it. … And the older you get, you get more mellow.”

“It works both ways,” son Dale McConnaughay said. “Dad knows when not to push [Rockie] too far.”

They met on the morning of Dec. 7, 1941, when Rockie McConnaughay’s sister, Mary, was getting married to Terry McConnaughay’s brother, Glenn – who is 95.

“We’d got the news that afternoon that Pearl Harbor had happened,” Terry McConnaughay said.

Later, they saw each other at a New Year’s party at Rockie Perrone’s family home on Peyton Street in Geneva.

“For the last couple of years, they had a big New Year’s party for the young people,” Terry McConnaughay said. “I wanted to go to that.

My cousin and I enlisted shortly after Pearl Harbor, but with the understanding that we would not be called

Terry McConnaughay and Rockie of Geneva recently celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary. in until Jan. 1.”

They noticed each other at the party, the McConnaughays said.

“He left the party because he was inebriated, and his brother, who was newly married to my sister, followed him home,” Rockie McConnaughay said. “He came back. I had gone upstairs to bed. And he was calling me from the bottom of the steps. He kept calling me.

He wanted me to know he liked me.”

She was 20 and he was 21.

“We dated for a while and I said, ‘If you want me to wait for you, you

have to send me a ring.’ He was in training in Richmond, Virginia, and he sent me a ring from Virginia,” Rockie McConnaughay said. “And we were engaged, and he was in service for four years.”

“Three years and 10 months,” Terry McConnaughay corrected her, smiling.”

“It was a beautiful ring,” Rockie McConnaughay said. “I was very proud of that ring.”

They raised three boys, James, 68, Dale, 66, and Mark, 64. Mark McConnaughay said he and his oldest brother, James, are divorced and remarried, while Dale remained a lifelong bachelor.

“The secret of longevity in a marriage – as their son, I can tell you what I’ve seen over the years – is their kindness and mutual respect and humor,” Mark McConnaughay said. “The two always had a wonderful sense of humor.”

Terry McConnaughay worked at Geneva Kitchens, a cabinet-making company, then started his own company, Durham, where he worked until he retired.

Rockie McConnaughay worked part time in a cafeteria at Portable Electric Tools on Geneva’s east side for 10 years, and then full time at the Veterans Administration when her boys were older.

“I worked hard. Terry worked hard,” Rockie McConnaughay said.

“And I think that was the best thing that ever happened to us. Neither one of us made a lot of money.”

The McConnaughay and Perrone names are well known in Geneva, the couple said, including state Sen. Karen McConnaughay, R-St. Charles, who is related by marriage.

Rockie McConnaughay’s father, Patsy Perrone, ran the City Barber Shop in Geneva. Then her late brother, Jerry Perrone, ran it until he retired.

Terry McConnaughay’s uncle Glenn McConnaughay had been Geneva’s police chief back then, and his uncle Red Fisher – who was married to his dad’s sister Isabelle – was chief of the fire department.

“We could never get in trouble,” Mark McConnaughay said. “Everybody knew you.”

Jewelry store continues to shine State Street Jewelers’ Martha Sanchez marks 4 decades in business

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – For 40 years, Martha Sanchez has been connected to local families for their happiest, most memorable moments.

They have come to State Street Jewelers – back when it was Anderson’s Jewelers – now at 230 W. State St., Geneva, to buy engagement and wedding rings, anniversary and Mother’s Day gifts, birthday gifts and other items.

“And there’s people who just come in and they’re like, ‘I just want to do something nice for my wife; she’s been my support.’ We’ve had people who have been sick, and they want to buy a present,” Sanchez said. “It’s about the joy and the emotion and the romance of it. We’re just honored to share in people’s special occasions. … Most of our occasions are happy occasions.”

Some sad occasions, too, Sanchez said, where families mark a death or loss with jewelry, and they also do estate jewelry work.

“How can you not love something so beautiful as that, which came from the ground? It’s just awesome to me that the earth can give forth these beautiful and rare stones,” Sanchez said.

A self-described Jill-of-all-trades, Sanchez does everything connected to the business, except being a bench jeweler.

“My passion really is making sure the people are happy and sharing in

Martha Sanchez is celebrating 40 years at State Street Jewelers in Geneva. the special occasion,” Sanchez said.

“And just the customer service end of it. I’m mostly in the back now – I do a lot of marketing and inventory work and help manage it. I’m a Jill-of-alltrades, master of none.”

The store marked her fourth decade with a surprise party this weekend.

Coworker Kelly Vass praised the professionalism and passion that Sanchez has for serving the store’s customers.

“She’s always pleasant,” Vass said. “She always goes completely

out of her way, which is an excellent example to the rest of us. Whatever can be done, will be done. And if we can’t do it here, she will figure out who you need to go to. It’s never about just doing the sale. It’s about pleasing the customer and having them walk away satisfied.”

Over the years, Sanchez has been involved in surprises for engagements and getting the wedding ring to the service in time.

“There was a [delivery] incident where a piece of jewelry didn’t arrive on time,” Sanchez said. “So we

actually wrote to FedEx and thanked them because they re-routed their truck. It was a Saturday, and the wedding was going on at St. Peter’s and … he got the package here.”

Another employee raced the ring out to the church just in time for a member of the wedding group to give it to the groom, who then put it on his bride’s finger, she said.

Sanchez has been married for 42 years to Art Sanchez, has one daughter and five grandchildren.

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – An organic skin care boutique called Green Envee is in the works for the vacant store at 17 S. Third St. in Geneva.

Owned by Bob Weiss and his cousin Tim Kundinger of Frankfort, this will be their first retail store for their organic cane sugar scrubs, soaps, bath salts and body oils.

“What is unique about us is that our aromatherapy is 100 percent all made with essential oils and no synthetic fra-

grances,” Weiss said. “We are carried in 150 spas wholesale throughout the country.”

They also sell the products at festivals and fairs, he said.

The small eight-person company started after Weiss developed an organic, nature-based lotion to treat his daughter’s severe eczema, he said.

“I have a degree in chemistry,” Weiss said.

From there, he developed the other items and is now looking to take the products to a new level, with a retail store in Geneva.

“Why did we pick Geneva? We were looking for a place where people are holding hands when they’re walking down the street,” Weiss said. “I feel like our brand – being small and handmade and fresh – that people in Geneva, Batavia and St. Charles will be open to something new and fresh.”

One of the ways the retail location will set itself apart, Weiss said, is that it will offer a bar with stools where customers can order body and skin care products.

“We will have 200 essential oils to

work with and a menu to pick from, or go a-la-carte, and we would blend for you there,” Weiss said.

The company plans a grand opening either in late May or early June, he said.

One of the company’s philosophies is to reacquaint people with the natural world, Weiss said.

“With all of the technology today, it’s harder to get nature integrated into your life,” Weiss said. “Our goal is to reacquaint people with nature.”

D-304 seeks to stop city’s move to create TIF

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Geneva School District 304 officials said the city of Geneva’s proposed third tax increment finance district would divert $7.2 million to $15 million from the district over the 23 years the law allows it to be in force.

Speaking to about 60 people at a District 304 forum held at Geneva Middle School North on May 3, school attorney Rick Petesch explained that the difference between the assessed value and the improvements – in a TIF district – is that the taxes generated by improvements go into a special fund under the city’s control, rather than to local taxing bodies.

A tax increment finance district is a development tool municipalities use that diverts the increased assessed value of property and sales taxes to redevelopment.

“That pool of money ... is available to finance redevelopment costs,” Petesch said. “The cost of surveys and

development plans, the city’s TIF consultant gets paid out of that, the cost for marketing sites offered for sale, the property assembly costs. It can be used for acquiring property used by the municipality.”

Petesch said the city set a $30 million budget for the proposed TIF district, money that would be generated by increased property or sales tax as a result of improvements.

Called the Geneva Fox River Redevelopment Project Area, it covers commercial and multifamily residential properties and public open space along the river, officials said.

School officials said they want the city to cancel a planned public hearing on the TIF at 7 p.m. May 16 at City Hall, but Mayor Kevin Burns – who was among the audience members – said officials could not do that because the hearing date was already published.

The council would not vote on the TIF that night, but about 30 days after the public hearing, Burns said.

Superintendent Kent Mutchler had

not be included in the new proposed district.

The area proposed has pockets of vacancies and neglect, such as the former Mill Race Inn property and a former bottling plant, Petesch said, hardly fitting the legal TIF requirement that the whole area has “excessive vacancies.”

“You could go into any town and find deterioration,” Petesch said.

With respect to the school district’s assertions about how much revenue it would lose, Burns said, “We’re still studying those numbers to determine their accuracy.”

Resident Jordan Zimberoff, who also teaches social studies at Geneva High School, said he was worried that the TIF would increase property taxes.

“As a teacher, I’m also very concerned that it will hurt services in the district, and students won’t see the same level of service now,” Zimberoff said. “If the district does not find ways to make up these funds, that means cuts. … We really don’t want to see that.”

suggested development alternatives to the TIF, as Petesch outlined in his presentation.

Those include creating enterprise zones, tax abatements, special assessments and waiving utility or permit fees, reducing the size of the TIF or the length it is in force.

Addressing the residents, Burns said Geneva is not a home rule community, so it cannot have an enterprise zone, and its ability to do tax abatements is restricted. Waivers of utility or permit fees, the TIF’s size or length of time all are up to the City Council, Burns said.

“In our TIF study, which is available online, it calculates the ‘but for.’

But for the TIF, will this area develop as rapidly and successfully? Our opinion, thus far, based on our TIF analysis, the answer is no.”

Petesch showed photos of local businesses, such as Buttermilk restaurant, FoxFire and Geneva on the Dam, as examples of successful businesses that did not need TIF support and should

GENEVA – Where most teens work retail and do baby sitting or lawn mowing, Isabella and Spencer Freitag of Geneva do modeling.

Their father, Vince Freitag, said Isabella, 19, has been modeling since she was a 15-year-old sophomore at Geneva High School. She has modeled for Kohl’s, Sears and Meijer, and worn clothes by Vera Wang.

Now attending Waubonsee Community College, Isabella Freitag said she plans to go on to Loyola and study forensics while she continues to model for extra money.

Spencer, 17, a junior at Geneva High School, started modeling last summer and will be in a Carson’s print ad for back-to-school clothes in September, his father said.

Isabella Freitag is 5-feet-10 and a size 4, but when she was first scouted at an open call for models, the agency said she was too thin and had to put on some weight, she said.

“I love it,” Isabella Freitag said of modeling. “It’s so much fun, and I’ve met so many friends through it. I do not get to keep the clothes; it’s just to wear one time. I loved modeling

A 2015 graduate of Geneva High School, Isabella Freitag said she was on the cheerleading team all four years.

“I was the tallest one there,” she said. “I always back-spotted the girls,

a position you have when they stunt and I catch them to make sure they don’t fall.”

Spencer Freitag, at 6-feet-1, also said he loved modeling.

“It’s pretty funny,” Spencer Freitag said. “It’s easy money. You show up and pose for pictures and make new friends. It’s pretty cool.”

The youngest Freitag, Lauren, is in eighth grade at Geneva Middle School South and will have to wait a couple of years to see if she, too, will model for extra money, Vince Freitag said.

“We’ll have to see if she’s tall enough,” her father said, noting his other children’s success with modeling.

“I think it’s crazy, but it’s good money for [Isabella’s] college and her own personal savings,” he said. “[Spencer] has been going downtown every Thursday … for runway training, how to walk and carry himself.”

“I love it. It’s so much fun, and I’ve met so many friends through it.”

By CHRIS WALKER GENEVA – Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon on May 3 discussed his support of a bill that would remove any time limit on the prosecution of felony sex crimes when minors are involved, Joe citing former McMahon U.S. Speaker Dennis Hastert’s admission last month to sexual abuse.

McMahon explained the bill during his monthly media meeting in St. Charles.

Hastert didn’t receive prison time for the sexual abuse because of a statute of limitations, although he did receive a 15-month prison term for violating a banking law as he sought to pay someone $3.5 million to

McMahon also discussed how he supports SB 2370, which amends the Juvenile Court of 1987 and the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. It would require police to video record all juveniles involved in felony investigations, as well as require a defense attorney to be present for juveniles ages 14 and younger who are being questioned in major crimes such as murder and sex-related offenses.

Originating from Illinois Sen. Particia Van Pelt, McMahon said the new bill is the right step in protecting minors.

“This bill accomplishes its goal of protecting juveniles at such a young age that they don’t have the ability of understanding their rights,” he said. “With recordings, it will allow a judge or jury to hear exactly what was said in an interview and how it was said.

Judges want that, and juries want that. I want that.”

keep the sex abuse a secret.

The proposed bill, HB 6569 – originated from state Rep. Keith Wheeler – would remove the time limit currently in place for felonies and extend the limit to 20 years after a minor victim’s 18th birthday for any misdemeanor sex crimes.

“Wheeler reached out to me, and I support the elimination of a statute of limitations on these kinds of crimes against minors,” McMahon said. “It’s inconsistent with justice, but the bill is a step in the right direction.”

Time could make it more difficult to get a guilty verdict many years after crimes occur, but McMahon said such a concept isn’t a good reason to simply disallow the opportunity to prosecute such cases.

“It’s a reaction to last [month],” he said. “If we believe we can get a conviction, then we shouldn’t be restricted by time.”

The team debuted a new Ozzie this season, so my first order of business was to find Ozzie T. Cougar and photograph his new look. It also happened to be a day game, when hundreds of schoolchildren were there for field trips. It’s always fun to be on assignment at such a welcoming place, and I’ve always felt so welcome at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark.

Small, dark gypsy moth caterpillars emerge from their creamy yellow egg case on the bark of a red oak tree. As they feed, the caterpillars will grow bristly hairs, as well as some very distinctive markings – five pairs of blue spots, followed by six pairs of red spots – along their backs. They will attain a length of about 2 1/2 inches before pupating, which usually occurs in July in the Kane County area.

When I think of the word gypsy, two images come to mind.

One is circa 1972 and features the stage at Wheaton’s Longfellow School – my alma mater. I was auditioning for the school play, of a title I can’t remember, and I had to read the line, “I can dance the tarantella.”

My acting skills being what they were – and are, which is to say, not great – and given my preference for creepy crawlies, the line came out, “I can dance the tarantula.” I accompanied this pronouncement with a few clumsy steps, the way I imagined a spider might express itself if given the chance.

The girl who got the part, Sue Griffiths, not only read the line correctly but also backed her strong acting skills with a talent for dance. She whirled around the stage dressed like – here it is – a gypsy. Flowing blouse and skirt; colorful scarf knotted on one side of her head; and large, dangling earrings.

Gypsy moths and remembering a special dance

• MOTHS

Continued from page 13 I don’t know why, to this day, that image is so vivid. Maybe it was because it was the first time I’d seen a gypsy – albeit a pretend, sixth-grade one. Or, it may have something to do with the way I even now dance when I get to handle very large spiders. At any rate, that memory is in no way related to the other thing that comes to mind when I hear the word gypsy: Lymantria dispar, the gypsy moth.

These nonnative insects, which have a penchant for eating the leaves of many types of trees – especially oaks – have been feasting on forests here in the U.S. since the late 1860s.

The gypsies we see today are descendants of a group brought here from Europe as part of a well-intentioned but misguided mission to breed a hardier silkworm. Those moths escaped their confines in Medford, Mass., and have been munching leaves and marching west ever since.

Their arrival in northeastern Illinois several years back was greeted with monitoring efforts, quarantines and control programs – namely low-flying helicopters dropping the caterpillar-killing bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis “Kurstaki” or BtK. Another program called Slow-The-Spread – or STS – uses integrated pest management to help

Those moths escaped their confines in Medford, Mass., and have been munching leaves and marching west ever since. keep the moths in check. Here in the Prairie State such efforts are aided by our large expanses of farmland. These “corn deserts” provide little in the way of host plants for the gypsies and might help control their advancement.

I’ve had gypsy moths on my mind for over a week now, ever since co-worker Lisa O’Brien and I paid a visit to Haines Middle School in St. Charles. We were there to work with Mrs. Franklin’s seventh-grade science classes on invasive species, and were enjoying lunch outdoors at a picnic table under an oak tree when we spotted them: four gypsy moth egg cases in a shallow tree cavity.

They were situated very near some empty pupal cases of their forebears – probably their moms, as the cases were quite large, and female gypsy moths are big and flightless. The eggs were

starting to hatch, and tiny little gypsies – caterpillars less than one-quarter inch long – were writhing about.

Eager to see if there were more, Lisa and I finished our sandwiches and starting poking around the tree trunk. We found several more egg cases, 10 total, and sat back down to review our findings.

We thought back to a year ago, when we’d also visited the seventh-grade science classes and taken our lunch break underneath that same oak tree. We’d noticed gypsies then, too, but recalled seeing only three egg cases.

In a year’s time, the moths of that tree had tripled their reproductive output.

Faced with that sobering fact, we figured maybe we should come up with some sort of plan for intervention.

Scrape the eggs and caterpillars into a cup of soapy water? A good plan, except that we had neither cups nor soap nor water. Smoosh them against the tree bark? Messy, but not a bad idea.

We also Googled the Illinois Department of Agriculture’s website to see if any BtK applications or other STS efforts were planned. Last year, several local municipalities were treated, but we didn’t see any news pertaining to plans for this year. However, the IDA, as in years past, does ask that anyone spotting gypsy moths in any life stage report them by calling 866-296-MOTH (6684).

As we pondered what our next step should be, a flash of white on the tree caught my eye. A white-breasted nut-

How Much Money do you need to Retire?

hatch had flown in to peck at the newly emerged caterpillars. It flew away after a few minutes but then another bird arrived – a female English house sparrow. She fluttered in front of an egg case and pecked away, too. Maybe, just maybe, we thought, the problem will take care of itself.

Ultimately, we opted to leave the egg cases there, at least for the time being. We made sure we showed Mrs. Franklin and her science students, so there are at least 80 or so Haines seventh-graders now capable of identifying signs of gypsy moths. We also called the IDA number and left a message describing what we’d found.

As Haines isn’t far from my house, I plan to keep an eye on the gypsies in the coming months. If the infestation increases, I’ll do what I can to help Slow-The-Spread. I’m also crossing my fingers that the predation we witnessed will continue, to the point where no further treatment is necessary. That would make me happy indeed. Maybe even happy enough to dance the tarantella. I mean, tarantula.

It depends. Some people are happy staying in their small home and adventuring in their RV and others want two homes and a yacht and to travel the world. Some people have large pensions and social security to provide an income base and others only have their investments to generate their income base. Some people have large mortgages and others have no debt. It depends.

Your retirement picture is usually based on three controllable factors: (1) your debt, (2) your assets, (3) your expectations for retirement; plus your pension and social security benefits. Here are a few thoughts regarding these factors for you to ponder.

• Look at paying off your house before you retire to reduce your fixed expenses. Reducing fixed expenses may give you more flexibility to adapt to the world around you. Flexibility allows you to rewrite your retirement story as you go along, and you have most likely worked very hard for 3040 years to earn that flexibility.

• Avoid credit card debt, which you already know, but seriously this is too important to not reiterate.

SM-CLDO

• Rethink your utilization of your assets.

Preservation often becomes more important than growth in retirement.

Include in your retirement income plan strategies if you become sick or pass away. Will your spouse be financial stable?

• Talk with your spouse about what retirement looks like. Plan out the expenses of your vision. Ladder your investments based on expected risk/ profit and also based on retirement timeline. Be realistic because you may have a lot longer to live than you can afford.

Balancing these factors can bring harmony to your retirement life. You don’t need a huge portfolio to be happy in retirement; but, you certainly do need what you want to comfortably fit inside what you have.

Aeropostale in Geneva to close because of company bankruptcy KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com GENEVA – Specialty clothing and accessories retailer Aeropostale Inc. will close 113 stores in the U.S., including the Geneva store at 502 Commons Drive in the Geneva Commons mall, as part of a bankruptcy restructuring, the company announced in a press release.

The company also will close five other stores in Illinois and all 41 stores in Canada, the release stated.

In all, Aeropostale has 739 stores in 50 states and Puerto Rico and 25 P.S. from Aeropostale stores in 12 states, the release stated.

The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in New York to “optimize its store footprint, access additional tools to shed or renegotiate burdensome contracts, resolve its ongoing

disputes with Sycamore Partners and achieve long-term financial stability,” the release stated.

Aeropostale intends to emerge from the bankruptcy process within six months “as a standalone enterprise with a smaller store base, increased operating efficiencies and reduced [selling, general and administrative] expenses,” the release stated.

“We have chosen to take more decisive and aggressive action to create a leaner, more efficient business that is well-positioned to compete and succeed in today’s retail environment,” Aeropostale CEO Julian Geiger stated in the release. “We appreciate the loyalty and support of our customers, employees and business partners as we complete this process.”

Store closing sales were scheduled to begin in the U.S. on May 7 and in Canada on May 9.

What started as an Elburn corner coffee shop in 2014 has turned into so much more.

Ann and Tony Cobb two years ago found themselves driving to the Tri-Cities to get a good cup of coffee.

They both knew that a place with great coffee and espresso in Elburn would definitely be well-received. And once the Cobbs found a building space at 2 S. Main St. in the village, they knew they would regret it if they didn’t give the coffee and food business a shot.

Shortly thereafter, the Cobbs opened The Corner Grind to Elburn, the Kaneland community and beyond.

“We knew we could excel at lunch, but we wanted to become novices in the coffee world first,” Ann said. “We immersed ourselves in the industry and linked ourselves to a coffee roaster who is beyond amazing and taught us a lot. We wanted to make sure we had the espresso and coffee drinks perfect before we expanded our menu – we didn’t want to just be average at anything.

Everything needed to be perfect.”

It’s been perfect thus far. Bakery items are made fresh in the store every morning, featuring everything from blueberry muffins to blackberry scones.

“Our homemade vanilla glazed doughnuts are probably our best seller,” Ann said. “They are usually sold

If you go n WHAT: The Corner Grind n WHERE: 2 S. Main St., Elburn. n HOURS: 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday

through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. out by noon every day.”

All of The Corner Grind’s drinks are made to order. Customers can order lattes, cappuccinos, iced teas and coffees, smoothies and lemonades. The business prides itself in the quality of its products, using the highest-quality ingredients from Sparrow, Ghirardelli, Harney and Sons, and Monin.

Since its opening, The Corner Grind’s menu has expanded to fit the needs of its customers.

“We recently added breakfast sandwiches due to the constant requests for them,” Ann said. “We also run a soup and sandwich special every week.”

The Corner Grind opened with a staff of four employees, but has expanded to a staff of 12 in 18 months.

Meanwhile, the Cobbs are thrilled that their business continues to increase week after week.

“We are amazed at the amount of business we have being in a town of only 7,000 people,” Ann said. “We have been overwhelmed by the support of the community of Elburn.”

St. Charles woman’s company prepares new parents

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com

ST. CHARLES – If anyone was prepared for motherhood, Tina Morton thought it would be her.

But despite her background in early childhood education and reading books on the subject, the St. Charles resident said she felt overwhelmed and unprepared with her firstborn, now 4 years old.

Now a mother of three, Morton seeks to guide expecting moms and dads through the early steps of parenthood.

She is the founder of Cloud Nine Baby Planning, a comprehensive maternity and baby consulting company.

She launched the business this year – soon after her youngest was born –

“I wanted to be a guidance for those moms-to-be,” Morton said, adding she aims to “completely and wholly” prepare parents for their new baby.

Her services address birth plans, hospital prep and natural maternity living. Offerings also include helping parents create a baby registry, showing parents how to use various baby

gear, stocking and setting up the nursery, and personal shopping.

For example, Morton said, if a woman doesn’t have time to shop for nursing bras, she will buy several varieties, bring them to the woman’s house and return the unwanted undergarments.

She also provides additional services – such as assistance with home maintenance, groceries and meals – for women put on bed rest during pregnancy.

Through its maternity concierge services, Cloud Nine Baby Planning can connect parents with nanny agencies, doulas, birth educators, photographers and – among other service providers – child safety professionals.

“I’ve done the research for them,” Morton said.

PICTURING THE

PAST

... with the Geneva History Museum This photograph is of the interior of the Beauty Culture building erected on the grounds of the Illinois State Training School for Girls in 1937.

The school was built in Geneva as a result of a 1893 legislative act for the purpose of maintenance, discipline and reformation of delinquent girls. The education of young girls confined by court order included being taught a vocation.

Training in beauty culture was added to the vocational subjects at the school in 1937. The course met all state requirements, so that the girls who took the course would be eligible to take state board examinations. At the time, it was the only state training school for girls that listed beauty culture among its available subjects.

The Illinois State Training School for Girls was open in Geneva from 1894 to 1977 and is the topic of the Geneva History Museum’s feature exhibition “Who was Sadie Cooksey? “ which is open through Nov. 7. More information is available at www.genevahistorymuseum.org.

“Just do it...”

I know what you’re thinking. Because, I thought it myself. I figured I could just put off this whole retirement thing for another year or maybe two. Then it hit me. All the things I will need to do to prepare for the big decision and move – like sorting, packing and selling a home; I’ll still have to do. Only when that time comes, I’ll be another year or two older. Let’s face it, we’re not getting any younger. I looked at other places around Elburn but none Kay Johnson of them felt like home. Then I came out to Oak Crest. I toured the grounds, visited with the staff, compared prices and amenities and just knew. Oak Crest was more than just a place to retire, it would be my home. The day I moved in I said, “I wouldn’t have wanted to wait even one more day.” I am so glad that I didn’t put off until tomorrow, what I could do today.

“It’s so rewarding to see the students use the skills they learn in class in a real world setting,” she said. “We just came back from a trip to south Spain and Portugal, and to see how the 43 kids who went interacted was really cool.”

While both educators will never forget the banquet and the exact moment when they were announced as winners, the binders of letters each received in support of their nomination is a memento they can cherish throughout their career as well.

Former and current students, parents, colleagues and others who have worked with Jurcenko and Weibler provided letters of support that defined why they deserved a nomination.

“Probably the most rewarding thing for me was hearing back from students and how much they appreciated me,” Jurcenko said. “Those letters are basically a history of my teaching career.”

For years, Jurcenko has clipped newspaper stories featuring her past students and then mailed the clipping to them along with a little note acknowledging their accomplishment.

Little did she know that such a gesture would have such a lasting impression.

“I didn’t realize how much of an impact that had on my students,” she said. “I’ve always tried to connect with my students, and not just in the classroom, but also with sporting events and plays. After reading what some of my students wrote, it brought tears to my eyes.”

Weibler said that she read all the letters supporting her after she returned home from the banquet.

“It was very nice to be recognized for all the hard work I do,” she said. “I read all the letters and am so thankful that so many people took the time to do it. Then, the next day at school I got a round of applause. So it’s definitely been exciting and a lot of fun.”

Michelle Jurcenko has taught at Kaneland High School for the past 10 years and is in her 25th year overall as a teacher. She educated kids in Ohio, Georgia and even Denmark before landing in Maple Park.

Jessica Weibler is in just her second year of teaching, having spent both at Harter Middle School in Sugar Grove.

While one has been at it for a long time and the other is relatively new, both teachers were recognized on April 29 at The Q Center in St. Charles during the 41st annual Kane County Educator of the Year awards.

Jurcenko was named High School Teacher of the Year and Weibler received the award for Early Career Educator.

“I was shocked to win,” Jurcenko said. “When you are listening to all the other nominees and hearing all of

their accomplishments, you wonder, ‘Why am I even up here? Everyone sounds so impressive.’”

Weibler said she was numb when she learned she was a winner.

“I didn’t expect to win and then I had to give a speech, but overall it was a very exciting moment for me,” she said. “My dad captured it on video, and both my parents were there and were super excited for me.”

An avid reader for as long as she can remember, Weibler realized she wanted to share that passion with others. She’s now doing that by teaching literature and communication skills.

“I think I always knew that someday I’d be a teacher,” she said. “I’ve always loved reading, and that’s something I get to share with the kids.”

Geneva woman accused of stealing Police: St. Charles massage business, employee face charges from workplace in St. Charles KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – A massage establishment and one of its employees face charges after an undercover police operation last month revealed the business had not remedied previously identified problems, according to a St. Charles Police Department news release.

According to the release, investigators inspected Still Waters Spa, 2075 Prairie St., St. Charles, on April 25 as part of the license renewal process for the new fiscal year, which Ji Xiuqin began May 1.

Ji Xiuqin, who was working in the business, was neither one of the registered managers nor a licensed massage therapist, the release stated.

The release indicated the business owner was contacted and ordered to close until a registered supervisor and a licensed massage therapist were present.

According to the release, police

returned to the business April 29 to conduct an undercover operation and an agent went in for the purpose of receiving a massage.

Xiuqin, who was still not licensed, began to provide a massage, the release stated, noting the agent stopped the massage and notified investigators.

Xiuqin, 50, of the 2000 block of Wessel Court, St. Charles, was charged with practicing a massage without a license, a misdemeanor. The release indicated she was released on a personal recognizance and is expected in court May 19.

Still Waters Spa was cited with two counts of violating the Massage Establishment Act. According to the release, the local ordinance governing massage establishments requires that massage therapists must have a license from the state, and it requires that a manager who is listed on the business license must be present when the establishment is open.

A hearing for Still Waters Spa is set for May 16 in front of the St. Charles Liquor Control Commission, the release stated.

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – A Geneva woman faces criminal charges on accusations she stole from her St. Charles workplace, according to a St. Charles Police Department news release.

Martha P. Strauss, 52, of the 200 block of South Harrison Street, Geneva, was charged May 3 with two counts of felony theft.

According to the release, she was taken to the Kane County Jail and appeared at the afternoon bond call, where her bond was set at $25,000. It indicated she was released on a personal recognizance.

Police began their investigation in December 2015, when the St. Charles Veterinary Clinic reported an employee was taking funds from the business, the Martha P. release stated.

It indicated Strauss – Strauss who worked as the clinic’s business manager – is accused of taking money between 2009 and 2015.

“The theft of the funds was made to appear as routine business transactions,” the release stated. It noted she no longer works at the clinic.

The family moved to Indianapolis for a time, but when her father died they returned to the area and Erdene lived in Geneva with her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Johnson. She met her husband-to-be, George, when they were students at Geneva High School.

After high school, Erdene attended the National College of Education and then taught kindergarten in Geneva. Erdene and George S. Peck, Sr. were married in 1942. George served in the Navy during World War II and after the war they lived first in Geneva and then moved to the Peck family farm west of Geneva. They had three children, George Jr., Anne, and John, all of whom grew up on the farm and attended Geneva schools.

In the 1970’s when George and Erdene moved to Montana, they worked with the Geneva Park District to preserve the farm and it is now Peck Farm Park. In Montana, they settled on Trapper Creek Ranch in Melrose which their son John and grandson JM continue to operate. George and Erdene had 66 wonderful years together before his death in 2008. Erdene loved to walk in the countryside and she took much pleasure observing the seasons change, especially the flowers.

Her family was her life and passion and she is survived by her sister, her three children, five grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. We all love and miss her.

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE

Master sommelier Serafin Alvardo will lead a seminar how to blindtaste wines May 12 at Geneva Wine Cellars & Tasting Room, 227 S. Third St., Geneva.

editorial@kcchronicle.com

he mentors and educates candidates preparing for the exams, a news release states.

To become a master sommelier, applicants are tested not only on their knowledge of wine but also on their attitude and capacity for hospitality, the release stated.

Alvarado worked as a wine steward at Charlie Trotter’s

for five years. He joined the Southern Wine & Spirits of Illinois in 2005, the largest wine distributorship in the state.

There, he educates inhouse sales staff on wine trends and new products, and teaches restaurateurs and retail owners who have bought southern wines how to serve them, the release stated.

GENEVA – Despite support from some Kane County Board members, elected officials serving in countywide positions will not get raises after the November election.

A measure to increase the auditor’s, circuit clerk’s, coroner’s, recorder’s and board chairman’s salaries by 2.5 percent for four years beginning Dec. 1, 2016, failed in a 13-8 vote on May 10. Dissenters said the vote was badly timed as it came on the heels of the primary election and happened soon after homeowners received their property tax bills.

John Hoscheit, R-St. Charles, said state law factored into the timing. Under statute, he said, salary adjustments must be approved 180 days before the officials are elected.

T.R. Smith, R-Maple Park, said constituents have “burned up� his phone on the issue, and

none were in favor of the raises. However, he acknowledged the board, which works with elected officials, was in a difficult position. “This really is a double-edge sword for us,� he said.

Drew Frasz, R-Elburn, said there was inadequate time to consider the issue and advocated for resident input on such matters. He would have supported the measure if a citizens advisory group backed it, he said.

Supporters described it as an issue of fairness. Many noted elected officials hadn’t received pay increases in years – in some cases 10 or more. “Our elected office-holders are the face of the county,�

Deborah Allan, D-Elgin, said.

Monica Silva, D-Aurora, said her initial reaction was a “staunch no,� but she later changed her mind. The raise would be a “small way to show appreciation� of the elected offices, she said.

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – There won’t be a 12th annual Art In Your Eye Festival this year in downtown Batavia.

That doesn’t mean the event won’t return in 2017.

“We went over the work plans from previous years and reviewed our budget and how the events went along with expenses and the number of volunteers needed and determined that it was in our best interest to take a hiatus,” Batavia Main Street Executive Director Jamie Saam said. “There’s some other art stuff and events for us to consider, and now we’re looking at that.”

What had become an end-of-thesummer staple for the past decade is no longer going to happen, leaving participants without the mixture of art, music, food and more that they had been able to enjoy with friends and family so close to home.

“I think that sometimes when something has been happening for a long time you might need to breathe some life into it, which isn’t a bad thing,”

Saam said. “Maybe someone else gets involved who wants to take it on? Many people loved it and hopefully someone finds a way to make Art in Your Eye even better.”

Costs, as well as the number of volunteers required to host such a large event, played a large factor in the decision not to host the event this year.

“We’ve run it the past two years at a loss and with a high number of volunteers; plus it took a lot of our staff’s time,” Saam said. “We’ve got many other events and plans for the downtown area for people to consider, including some other art stuff.”

One of those upcoming events is the Batavia Farmer’s Market, which takes place from 8 a.m. to noon every Saturday beginning June 4. The market features at least a few dozen vendors selling fresh vegetables, fruit and more.

“We’re looking forward to this time of the year, and this year we’re SNAP and Link accessible, which is new for us,” Saam said. “Then we’ll have our Cocktails in the Park fundraiser later this summer, which will be a ... night out to enjoy great food and live music.”

Members of the Kane County 4-H Horse Bowl teams won state titles during the Illinois 4-H State Horse Contest, which took place at the University of Illinois in Champaign in late April.

Horse Bowl is an academic competition focusing on equine knowledge – comparable to “Jeopardy!” – with questions all about horses. Topics include science, endocrinology, physiology, reproduction, history, nutrition, diseases and parasites.

The students studied more than 3,000 questions and answers, as well as a large amount of equine information, in order to compete at the regional and state levels. Students on the local Horse Bowl teams hailed from many Kane County school districts and had weekly study sessions all year that led up to regionals and state.

Many 4-H’ers earned individual awards.

Illinois Environmental Protection Agency Public Notice Proposed Renewal of the Clean Air Act Permit Program Permit Settlers Hill Recycling & Disposal Facility/Midway Landfill in Batavia Settlers Hill Recycling & Disposal Facility/Midway Landfill has requested that the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) renew the Clean Air Act Permit Program (CAAPP) permit regulating air emissions from its municipal solid waste landfill located at 1031 East Fabyan Parkway in Batavia. Based on its review of the application, the Illinois EPA has made a preliminary determination that the application meets the standards for issuance and has prepared a draft permit for public review.

The Illinois EPA is accepting comments on the draft permit. Comments must be postmarked by midnight June 11, 2016. If sufficient interest is expressed in the draft permit, a hearing or other informational meeting may be held. Requests for information, comments, and questions should be directed to Jillian Hawkins, Office of Community Relations, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, 1021 N. Grand Ave. East PO. Box 19506, Springfield, Illinois 62794-9506, phone 217/524-0922, TDD phone number 217/782-9143, jillian.hawkins@illinois.gov.

The repositories for the draft permit documents are at the Illinois EPA’s offices at 9511 West Harrison in Des Plaines, 847/294-4000 and 1021 North Grand Avenue East in Springfield, 217/782-7027 (please call ahead to assure that someone will be available to assist you). Copies of the draft permit and project summary may also be available at http://www.epa.gov/caa-permitting/region-5-electronic-permits.

Copies of the documents will be made available upon request.

The CAAPP is Illinois’ operating permit program for major sources of emissions, as required by Title V of the Clean Air Act (Act). The conditions of CAAPP permits are enforceable by the public, as well as by the USEPA and Illinois EPA. In addition to implementing Title V of the Act, CAAPP permits may contain “Title I Conditions,” i.e., conditions established under the permit programs for new and modified emission units, pursuant to Title I of the Act. The permit contains T1 conditions in sections 3.3, 4.1.2, 4.1.4 and 4.2.4 that were established in previously issued permits. The permit contains no T1 conditions that are being newly established or revised by this application.

The facility is located in a potential Environmental Justice area. More information concerning Environmental Justice may be found at http://www.epa.illinois.gov/topics/environmental-justice/index The beginning of this public comment period also serves as the beginning date of the USEPA 45 day review period, provided the USEPA does not seek a separate proposed period.

KOVELS: ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING

BY TERRY AND KIM KOVEL KOVELS.COM Cruet sets, especially those made of sterling silver with attractive glass bottles, have been popular with collectors and those who like to use them at parties.

The stand for a set usually is a silver pedestal that supports a revolving tray with holes or holders for three to seven bottles or containers. It has a tall handle so it can be easily passed at the table. The sets held an assortment of condiments used on salads - perhaps oil, vinegars, salt, pepper, and dry or wet mustard. A unique silver cruet set made by Tiffany & Co. was offered for sale by S.J. Shrubsole, a New York shop, at the 2016 Winter Antiques show in New York. The stand was made to look like a circular railroad track with seven railroad cars that rotated around the handle. The engraving simulated wooden siding and had the initials “H, NH, & S, 69.” It most likely stood for New Haven, Hartford & Springfield Railroad. A stamped maker’s mark was stamped on the bottom dating it about 1853. It may have been made for a company executive.

Tiffany & Co. silver is high-priced today, and imaginative, unique antique silver also sells well.

The 14 1/2-inch-high piece was priced $37,500. *** Q: I have a copper shell casing dated 19181919 with the name “Verdun” and an eagle standing on a shield with a star on it. The words “Nevers France” are engraved underneath. I was wondering if you could give me any idea what something like this is worth and if you know of anyone who would be interested in buying it.

A: You have a piece of trench art from World War I. Trench art is a form of folk art made by soldiers. Soldiers cut and decorated metal casings from bullets and mortar shells to form useful objects or souvenirs. The Battle of Verdun was the longest battles in the war and raged from February to December 1916. There was a large military population at camps and hospitals in the area around Nevers. Some of those injured at Verdun were taken to hospitals in Nevers. Your copper shell may have been made to commemorate the battle and the time spent in Nevers recovering from wounds sustained there or in a future battle. Or, a soldier stationed at Nevers from 1918 to 1919 might have made this from a shell casing found at Verdun. Trench art is popular and your Verdun casing is worth about $200. *** Q: Is there significant value for 12 small soup bowls with handles on both sides and matching saucers? They’re marked with the words “Baronet, Made in Bohemia” around a circle with the letters

“F & B” in the center. Underneath the mark it reads “Czechoslovakia, Rhapsody.”

A: Your soup bowls are cream soups in the Rhapsody pattern. Some sources say Baronet is the maker, while others say it’s a line made by Bohemia Ceramic Works, a company that worked in Neurohlau, Bohemia (now Nova Role, Czech Republic) from 1921 to 1945. The initials “F & B” probably are those of Fisher, Bruce & Co., an importer in Philadelphia that began working under that name in 1890. The value of your cream soup bowls and saucers depends on the pattern. Prices range from $6 to $50 for a cream soup and saucer. *** Q: I’m looking for some information on a Westmoreland milk glass 8-inch plate that is heartshaped. It’s hand-painted with the Roses and Bows pattern.

A: Westmoreland Glass Co. of Grapeville, Pa., made glass from 1889 to 1984. Roses and Bows, which the company called decoration No. 32, was one of Westmoreland’s most popular hand painted decorations. It was made from the 1950s until 1984, usually with two roses. Roses and Bows with only one rose was made beginning in the 1970s.

Some smaller items have roses but no bows.

Reproductions have been made. A heart-shaped milk glass plate decorated with Roses and Bows sells for $20-$30. *** Q: In 1957, I won a contest sponsored by Foster Parents Plan, Seventeen Magazine, and the United Nations Children’s Fund. One of the three judges was Eleanor Roosevelt. I was awarded a trip to Manhattan where I met many famous people, including Dag Hammarskjold and Ed Sullivan, and got their autographs. I kept a diary and saved memorabilia and photographs. My question is this: Are there collectors that would be interested in this type of memorabilia?

A: Your diary, photographs and other memorabilia probably would not interest collectors because it has little historic value, but there might be some interest in the autographs. It depends how famous the person is, how rare the autograph is and the condition. Most celebrities signed hundreds or thousands of autographs and those autographs are not valuable. Signatures on important documents or letters are worth more than an autograph by itself.

A signature on a handwritten letter is usually worth more than an autograph on a photograph or typed letter. Autographs on a piece of paper or card are worth the least. If you think you have an autograph from an important person who rarely signed autographs, you should contact an auction house or gallery that holds sales of autographs. ***

Village President Kathy Curtis said Acosta delivered on his vision of getting to know the people in the community, especially the young people.

In addition to the relationships he has developed with residents, Acosta has brought professionalism and stability to the Maple Park Police Department, Curtis said.

“He has respect for the residents and he knows how to enforce the law and keep a good balance,” she said. “He’s community policing at its best.”

Acosta said he’s most proud of creating the village’s drop-in center for Maple Park youth. With a pool table and other games, a big-screen TV for movies and free popcorn, the police department drop-in center provides a safe place for young people to hang out on Friday and Saturday nights.

The center serves about 1,000 kids a year, giving them a place to go and an opportunity to get to know the police as people. Acosta said he believes it’s important to be able

back to school in 2005 to get his degree in criminal justice.

He also completed a 10-week course in command staff with Northwestern University in order to better prepare himself for a top leadership role.

Acosta, 62, made the decision to retire from the Maple Park Police Department after 40 years of law enforcement in order to spend more time with his wife of 27 years, Karen, and his family.

He said the recent deaths of two members of Karen’s family have reinforced for both of them the importance of family and time spent together.

Acosta plans to continue to be involved with the Maple Park Special Olympics fundraising campaign. The Maple Park Police Department has been recognized as one of the two top fundraisers for Illinois for Special Olympics the past three years.

“People out here have such big hearts,” he said. “That’s what I’m going to miss.”

Maple Park residents on April 30 had an opportunity to show outgoing Police Chief Mike Acosta what he means to them during his retirement open house.

Acosta will officially step down from the department on May 13.

“I was quite amazed to see how many people came out,” Acosta said. “It really touched my heart.”

About 50 people came to say goodbye and wish him well, and to give him a going-away gift of a shadow box containing his retirement badge and picture.

“I count everyone here as family,” Acosta said. “It’s good to see they counted me as family, too.”

When Acosta was sworn in in January 2010, he told the Village Board he would give them a police department they could be proud of.

to positively influence kids at an early age.

Acosta will leave the department in good hands. Sgt. Tony Ayala was sworn in as the new chief last week. Acosta will hang around until May 13 to make sure the transition is a smooth one.

“I think he will do a great job,” Acosta said of Ayala. “He has the same love for community and policing and the youth of today. It seemed just natural for him to take over.”

Ayala, who has been with the police department the past three years, said Acosta has been a mentor to him, and that working under Acosta has been a really good experience.

“A lot of people respect the department because of him,” Ayala said. “I’ve worked really hard to maintain that strong relationship with our community. We’re in a very good place.”

Ayala, who has been with the Northern Illinois University Department of Police and Public Safety since 2000, went

OUR VIEW

Illinois should change child sex abuse law Federal Judge Thomas M. Durkin did not mince words in sentencing former U.S. Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert to a 15-month jail term in a sexual abusehush money case. Durkin described Hastert as a “serial child abuser” and described his attempt to accuse one of his victims of extortion as “unconscionable.”

In addition to jail time, Durkin ordered Hastert to undergo sex offender treatment, serve two years of supervised release after his release from prison, and pay $250,000 to a crime victims’ fund.

Hastert admitted in a statement he “mistreated” some of his Yorkville High School athletes when he was a teacher and wrestling coach at the school between 1965 and 1981, when he left YHS to begin his political career. He told the judge and courtroom: “I wanted to apologize for the boys I mistreated when I was their coach. What I did was wrong, and I regret it.

They looked to me, and I took advantage of them.”

Fortunately, Durkin did not let Hastert off with a blanket apology. The judge asked Hastert, point-blank, if he had sexually abused three wrestlers. Hastert – after conferring with his lawyers – agreed to accept their statements accusing him of sexually abusing them.

We’re pleased Durkin refused to accept Hastert’s initial apology and instead pressed him to admit publicly to sexually abusing multiple victims. Hastert’s victims, their families and the public – whose trust he violated –

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

needed to hear the former house speaker confirm the heinous nature of his crimes.

Hastert’s admission leaves no doubt – as stunning as it still may be to some of his friends and ardent political supporters – that he was, in fact, a predatory criminal during his years as teacher and coach at YHS. Sadly, the judge was limited to imposing a sentence on Hastert only related to the hush money case. The statute of limitations on his admitted sexual abuse of his students at YHS has long since expired.

Within hours of Durkin handing down his sentence, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan called on state lawmakers to enact legislation eliminating the statute of limitations for child sex crimes. Passage of such legislation is long overdue and may provide some measure of consolation to Hastert’s victims and their families.

We applaud the local backing of such legislation.

Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon on May 3 discussed his support of a bill that would remove any time limit on the prosecution of felony sex crimes when minors are involved, citing Hastert’s admission to sexual abuse.

The proposed bill, HB 6569, originated from state Rep. Keith Wheeler, R-Oswego.

“Wheeler reached out to me, and I support the elimination of a statute of limitations on these kinds of crimes against minors,” McMahon said. “It’s inconsistent with justice, but the bill is a step in the right direction.”

Appreciating all kinds of teachers Now that we’re finally in May, the excitement of summer is right around the corner, even though the weather doesn’t quite seem to agree! It feels as if school can’t wrap up quickly enough, and I’m positive most students feel similarly. In a few more weeks, I won’t have to worry about homework or grades (at least until my summer government class starts ... ).

However, as the school year comes to a close, I think it’s important to recognize all the good that came out of the past year, as well. I know for me, personally, one of the best things about my sophomore year was all the incredible teachers I had. Given that National Teacher Appreciation Week was May 1 to 7, I can’t think of a more fitting topic for this column than the wonderful teachers I’ve had throughout my education thus far.

Sometimes, the teacher is such a familiar part of the classroom that I think we tend

THE WRITE PLACE Emma Chrusciel to take his or her enormous and pivotal role for granted. As students generally see their teachers only in a classroom setting, they rarely stop and realize how much time and effort teachers put in outside of school to ensure that their students are learning and reaching their full potential. And why do they do it? Because they truly care about their students and love their chosen subject so much that they want to share it with a younger generation. How inspiring is that?

There are a few Geneva School District 304 teachers in particular that I would like to mention for their overall excellence. Though this doesn’t even begin to cover all the outstanding teachers I’ve had, it’s a start. Mrs. Potaczek,

who taught the accelerated/ enriched reading and math classes at Williamsburg Elementary School, made books and numbers come alive, and I have many happy memories from her classes. Dr. Tusken, who I had as a language arts teacher in the seventh grade, helped me grow not only as a reader and writer, but as a person. Mr. Estabrook, who taught my geometry honors class last year, made learning enjoyable and practical (and also played showtunes during class ... thanks Mr. Estabrook!). Finally, Mrs. Hibbeler and Mrs. Curtis, my choral directors throughout middle school and high school, respectively, nourished my love of music and its intricacies; it’s been an honor to be part of their talented and fun ensembles.

However, it’s important to note that teachers aren’t just those in a school. My

rectly in the Batavia Plaza shopping center strip when Walgreens moved into a new building in the same shopping area. The former Walgreens was originally a Jewel food store, which relocated to Randall Road. Now Batavia Enterprises is considering a new tenant for the Jewel/Walgreens – Blue Goose from St. Charles.

The Batavia City Council, seeking to improve downtown, has authorized a survey at a cost of $12,500 in taxpayer money for a survey. The first question that Ehlers and Associates should ask on the survey is does anyone in Batavia know where Berkeley Finer Foods is located, and how close is it to downtown? Did the Super Wal-Mart built on Kirk Road reduce the grocery sales at Berkeley, and how much sales tax revenue was lost? Who would visit this Blue Goose in downtown Batavia? There is already inadequate parking in downtown Batavia, so where would the customers at Blue Goose park to unload their groceries, and what about the carts? Who is going to be responsible for cart-versus-car accidents? Where will delivery trucks, whether for a grocery store, drug store, liquor or restaurants, park to unload products?

The Batavia City Council is contemplating using taxpayer TIF funds to assist Batavia Enterprises in redeveloping the former plaza. There is a lack of funds in TIF District 3, so the city could transfer money from TIF District 1 to support the project.

The city of Batavia has to stop this survey for redevelopment immediately. The City Council of Batavia is becoming a puppet to Batavia Enterprises. This is a Batavia Enterprise inquiry, not the city of Batavia, therefore all expenses for the survey should be Batavia Enterprises. When their survey is completed, then Batavia Enterprises can present their findings to the City Council without any cost to the taxpayers of Batavia. Any decisions about the project should not be considered until Batavia Enterprises submits the results of their survey.

SOUND OFF Knee-jerk reactions

Yes, I get worried about knee-jerk reactions to things like Dennis Hastert and his sex abuse. I really don’t believe that it’s a good idea to change the law regarding ... the statute of limitations on the child sex abuse law. One of the reasons is because a lot of the people after 20 years are gonna be dead, and memories fade. And also a lot of people who could be witnesses could be gone. And if you’re the person being accused by someone who is just nasty and wants to pull a stunt – and anybody who’s worked in child abuse and has done work to prevent child abuse, as I have, understands that a lot of teenage girls will accuse teachers; they will accuse older adults; they will accuse younger adults of sex abuse; and it’s not just the girls, the boys do it, too – it’s one crime that is very difficult to prove one way or another. You basically have his word against her word or her word against his word, and so justice doesn’t get done.

The child abuse laws are such that anybody can call a child abuse hotline and accuse somebody of child abuse without ever having to ... you don’t get a chance to confront your accuser; you

To the editor: I would like to thank the voters for their patience at their polling places on election day in March. Lines were longer due to the enactment of SB 172, passed in June 2015 by Illinois state legislators, mandating all counties in Illinois offer same-day registration.

This resulted in delays and frustration for many voters, but I wanted to express appreciation to my staff, election judges and IT technicians for working hard to meet the challenge of implementing this bill.

In anticipation of the upcoming Nov. 8 general election, which always attracts a large voter turnout, I strongly urge voters to plan ahead. It is the voters’ responsibility to make sure their registration is up to date, and it’s a good idea to do this sooner rather than waiting until the last minute.

Voters can visit www.kanecountyelections.org/VoterRegistration/registration. aspx to make any necessary corrections to their voter information and avoid potential delays on election day.

Early voting allows voters to cast a full ballot before the observed election day.

Although voters can still go to their polling place on election day, this is intended to make voting easier for everyone. This cuts down on lines at the polling place, as well as allowing voters to vote when it fits their schedule. Check the clerk’s website for future early voting locations.

All registered voters in Kane County are also eligible to request a vote-by-mail ballot. You don’t need a reason to request a vote-by-mail ballot – I encourage voters to go to the clerk’s website or call the clerk’s office at 630-232-5990 to place their request. Vote-by-mail ballots will be mailed out starting Sept. 29 and must be postmarked on or before election day, Nov. 8.

Voters who would like to express their concerns about SB 172 should direct their comments to their state senator and representative. While the Kane County Clerk’s Office does not make the laws, it’s our responsibility to enforce them.

Voters can locate their respective representatives by visiting the clerk’s website at www.kanecountyelections.org/ VoterInfo/Search.aspx#b. Fill out and submit the “Voter Information Search;” click on your name; and scroll down to your representatives’ information.

Looking back, it was early in May that my thoughts turned to Memorial Day. For me and my contemporaries, we were at school during the late ’40s and early ’50s and longed to get out of class and into the sunshine.

But first we had to deal with “poppy posters,” which were theoretically part of a contest sponsored by the veterans organizations but were nevertheless required.

The function was to place these actual posters in the windows of downtown merchants (remember when there were actual downtown merchants?) to raise awareness of the sale of small, artificial, red poppy flowers to aid hospitalized veterans.

Most posters had some reference to “In Flanders Field,” a poem giving homage to the fallen from World War I. A popular motif pictured a cemetery and crosses to identify each grave. No telling who would be offended these days, yet we felt a real – if only temporary – reverence to those sacrifices.

The holiday – with a reminder each year about the proclamation from the Grand Army of the Republic commander, John A. Logan – was originally called Decoration Day. The tradition was to visit graves of veterans and leave flowers. In so many local families, the tradition was to bring flowers to all graves and to honor families as well.

For our family, the trek began at the Wayne Center Cemetery, reported to be where the Illinois Militia and one of its soldiers, Abe Lincoln, encamped during the Black Hawk War. Way in the rear of the cemetery were Grandma Arteberry’s kin, going back to pre-Civil War days. She was, understandably, a Yankee in so many ways.

The parade in those days was long and full of local participation.

COMMUNITY VOICE Joan Arteberry I – and fellow Girl Scouts from Troop 21 – marched briskly down the hill, alert and ready to step aside from Russell Norris’ contingent of their version of the nowcalled Native Americans and their ponies. In later years, there was a scooper.

We never had a family picnic. The tavern was open, and there was work to be done. The first thing Grandpa Steve did on holidays was to bring out the American flag to the hole in the sidewalk that the city had provided for each merchant.

We would walk from that place on Second Street to wherever the ceremony would be (for many years at Baker Park on East Main Street). On the way down flag-lined streets, there was almost always a chance to acknowledge the great gifts to the city and its citizens by the Baker and Norris families.

We heard once again those patriotic speeches and the Gettysburg Address and gun salutes and taps.

Later we would gather at the tavern for Grandpa Steve’s version of indoor picnic food – probably potato pancakes, cabbage rolls and bacon buns. At sundown, he would retrieve the flag and gently place it in storage.

It was seldom said out loud, but here was a day to remember the gifts of being naturalized citizens who had learned another language, earned a living and shared with others – and valued freedom.

Turkey becomes surrogate mother to ducklings at Elburn wildlife center

By SUSAN O’NEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com

• Thursday, May 12, 2016

Duck eggs orphaned when a hawk killed the mother have found an unlikely surrogate: Tallulah the turkey.

Tallulah, however, thinks it’s a match made in heaven.

Tallulah arrived at the Fox Valley Wildlife Center about a year and a half ago with a badly broken wing, leaving her unable to fly. Turkeys roost in trees – keeping them safe from predators on the ground – so Tallulah couldn’t be safely released back into the wild.

Instead, she became an animal ambassador for the Wildlife Center, helping to educate the public about members of her species. She was harness trained and traveled to schools and libraries to meet the students.

Then, last November, she began laying eggs – one here and there – Wildlife Center Director Laura Kirk said.

Tallulah would sit on the eggs, but because there wasn’t a male turkey around, the eggs were not viable and would not hatch.

Still, she kept sitting on them, refusing to leave the nest to eat. She began to lose weight, and she became moody and territorial.

Fast-forward to several weeks ago, when nurses in the emergency room at Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin witnessed a hawk dive down, capture and kill a mother duck sitting on her nest of eggs.

The nurses told their co-worker, Jean Lowe – a renowned animal lover among her colleagues – about the hawk incident. Lowe gathered the eggs – 13 in all – and took them home, where she kept them warm overnight with a space heater. The next day, her sister, Donna Kruse – a volunteer at the Wildlife Center – brought in the ducks.

When the staff introduced Tallulah to the eggs, she knew exactly what to do: she spread her body over the eggs, sat down and did not leave them until they hatched.

Nine of the 13 duck hatchlings made it, which, according to Kirk, is a pretty good survival rate.

One week later, the ducklings are growing and developing, and Tallulah watches over them as would any protective mother. And as far as the ducklings are concerned, she is their mother – they run to her for warmth and for protection, and she is happy to

Once they grow their adult, water-proof feathers, they will be moved outside of the wildlife center’s building to get used to being outdoors. When they are able to survive on their own – at about 2 months – they will be released into the wild.

Kirk said she doesn’t know how Tallulah will react when the ducklings are taken away. But for now, she is content.

“She just wanted to be a mom,” Kirk said.

Spring is baby season at the center, which is entering into its busiest time. Most of the 3,000 animals it cares for each year arrive from late spring into early fall. At the time of the Wild Baby Shower late last month – a fundraiser for the center that took place a couple of weeks ago – there were about 30 squirrels, 50 bunnies, 10 geese, six orphaned raccoons and three great horned owl babies. And that’s just the beginning.

The center’s mission is to care for wild animals in need and give them

Village of Lakewood Estate Sale P.G. Wodehouse, the English author who preferred to be working on his typewriter more than anything else, said, “I know I was writing stories when I was five. I don’t know what I did before that. Just loafed, I suppose.”

This deal would trip up most players, unless warned by seeing it in a newspaper column or a lesson. It revolves around five -- the number of trumps held by West.

South is in four hearts. How should he plan the play after West starts with three rounds of clubs?

If South had known that his club honors were going to be worthless, he might have settled for a three-diamond help-suit game-try after his partner’s single raise. Here, though, North, with all of his values in the red suits, would have jumped to four hearts.

It seems as though declarer has only three losers: one spade and two clubs. He appears to have 10 tricks: one spade, five hearts and four diamonds. What can possibly go wrong?

“Nothing!” they cry. Well, actually there is one thing. The trumps might be 5-0. Admittedly, that is only a 4 percent chance, but why not make the contract anyway?

If declarer ruffs at trick three, he cannot get home with this layout.

He will lose two clubs, one heart and one spade. Since the spade loser is inevitable, South should discard his spade two at trick three. Then, if West persists with a fourth club, declarer can ruff high on the board, draw trumps, and claim. Or, if West shifts to, say, a spade, South can take those 10 top tricks.

2 KANE COUNTY COUGARS

Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com

Local students watch the Kane County Cougars take on the Lake County (Ohio) Captains during a matinee game May 4 at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark in Geneva.

READ ’EM AND LEAP Ozzie’s Reading Club games delight students and Cougars players

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Susan Cunningham spotted serendipity well before monitoring her fourth-grade students in the Dippin’ Dots line at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark.

She simply considered the reason she was watching a future generation consume the long-marketed “Ice Cream of the Future” on a recent weekday afternoon.

Cunningham teaches at Gates Elementary in East Aurora School Dis-

trict 101, and this was her latest outing for a Kane County Cougars’ Ozzie’s Reading Club matinee. A vast majority of her students met their third-quarter reading goals, and a day at the ballpark – de facto organized hooky – again provided the carrot.

“They just love coming here,” Cunningham said. “It’s exciting, and they get a great reward for doing something that enriches their lives.”

Named for mascot Ozzie T. Cougar, Ozzie’s Reading Club spans numerous Chicago suburbs. It is open to children in grades K-8, but a student’s school must be a registered member of the program.

The club, naturally, has traditionally used baseball imagery to track students’ progress during the eight-week program. The distance between home plate and first base, first base and sec-

ond base, second base and third base and third base and home plate each represent two weeks of reading.

Should a student meet his or her individual reading requirements, he or she earns a free ticket to an April or May Cougars home game designated by the students’ school. Other rewards may include bookmarks, food vouchers and an official Ozzie’s Reading Club drawstring bag.

“I think they feel pride because they got here because they had to work really hard,” Gates assistant principal Stephanie Brennan said. “They had to read a lot of books. Everybody had different goals. So it’s really exciting for them to have this opportunity to step back and enjoy their accomplishment.”

Schools have the option to attend evening or weekend games, but Read-

ing Club contests traditionally are dispersed throughout a handful of 11 a.m. or noon weekday matinees during April and May. The Cougars, who are in the second season of a two-year, Class A player-development contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks, are slated to play their final Reading Club game of 2016 on May 18 when they host the Peoria Chiefs at 11 a.m.

To be sure, Cougars players take notice every time the crowd’s average age – and cheering octave level – lowers considerably.

“You hear them the whole game,” infielder Joe Munoz said. “It’s definitely fun having fans come to the game, and then hearing the little kids just cheering and laughing and playing.”

While students have displayed at least a yeoman baseball acumen

Students walk the midway during a Kane County Cougars matinee game against the Lake County (Ohio) Captains on May 4 at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark in Geneva. through the years, any appearance from Ozzie T. Cougar traditionally has derailed their interest until the mascot retreats to his next obligation.

Certain prompts from the public address system – namely the refrain to “Who Let the Dogs Out” and the “SpongeBob SquarePants” theme – also are sure to enthrall students.

And, in many cases, the Cougars, too.

“It’s kind of a joke with all the other guys,” Munoz said. “I mean, every time we know there’s kids here, we just wait for the ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ theme song to come on. All the kids just start going along with it and singing, and we just can’t help but laugh.

It’s funny, just because that’s the show that we used to watch when we were younger. And it’s still going on. Kids still love it.”

Cougars manager Mike Benjamin, 50, hardly opposes the nautical nonsense himself.

“I think it’s funny,” Benjamin said after a matinee this month. “I wish they would have played it more. Just hearing the kids up there singing along, it’s actually kind of entertaining.”

As with the students they’re playing before, the Cougars and their op-

“They just love coming here. It’s exciting, and they get a great reward for doing something that enriches their lives.”

ponents stand to learn something, too.

Long catering to nighttime starts and a lifestyle that’s miles from 9-to5, professional baseball still throws its players a few daytime first pitches throughout the season.

“They’ve got to learn how to get themselves going,” said Lake County (Ohio) Captains manager Tony Mansolino, whose team visited Geneva for three games from May 2 to 4. “It’s important.”

Right around the time spring training heats up, Ozzie’s Reading Club students are in the throes of their own ongoing preparation for a lifetime of literacy.

“I just think it’s a great program,” Cunningham said, “and I hope they keep doing it.”

‘Total sponge’ Navigato aims to absorb offseason bulk The most important steps Nate Navigato takes this summer will be with a barbell on his shoulders.

At 6-foot-8 and 215 pounds, the Toledo forward has plenty of reps at the squat rack in his future. In fact, Navigato, the all-time leading scorer in Geneva boys basketball history, plans to wear out a path to and from the weight room.

With a dynamic offensive skill set, Navigato opens the floor for teammates. He can score from the outside – he led Toledo in 3-point shooting accuracy as a freshman in 2015-16 at 38 percent – and also use his size and ballhandling acumen to drive to the basket and convert at the rim.

But he wants to get bigger and stronger in the offseason. The ability to absorb physical play from opponents and dish more out himself will be a key as he preps for his sophomore season with the Rockets.

“This summer, I am going to train,” said Navigato, who recently completed his final exams at Toledo.

“I’ve never been out of school and home this early before. It’s nice. I am going to spend a lot of time in the weight room.”

Navigato led the VIkings to a fourth-place finish in the 2014-15 IHSA Class 4A state tournament as a senior and also was named Kane County Chronicle Boys Basketball Player of the Year.

His former AAU coach, Jim Thomas, wasn’t surprised to hear Navigato plans to get bigger and stronger in the summer. It fits the mold for a player he said “has a real chance” to play at the next level because of his unique skill set and coachability.

“I never had to tell Nate anything twice as his coach,” said Thomas, who coached Navigato when he was a member of the Mercury Elite. “He’s a total sponge when it comes to absorbing information. With the quality strength and conditioning college players receive, the sky’s the limit for Nate.”

In a 102-68 blowout home win against Bethune-Cookman on Dec. 12, Navigato flashed the same offensive form that earned him Illinois Basketball Coaches Association first-team honors and second-team Associated Press Class 4A honors as a senior.

He scored a season-high 20 points and shot 7 for 10 from the field and 6 for 9 from 3-point range – all in just 18 minutes. On the season, Navigato averaged 8.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists a game.

This spring, Toledo will graduate four seniors from a team that finished

ON CAMPUS James Nokes 17-15, including 8-10 in the Mid-American Conference. Navigato looks for the opportunity to expand his offensive contributions. Even though he has the height traditionally associated with a frontcourt player, his shooting ability is an asset in basketball’s continued evolution.

Open court, transition play has become the norm. With the introduction of the reduced shot clock last season, offensive sets have only 30 seconds to materialize and are now designed with a quick ball screen and one or two options before a shot is taken.

A player solely in possession of back-to-the-basket post skills is being phased out in favor of a hybrid player that has skills that cross over to many positions. Players must be able to shoot from the outside, handle the basketball and make quick decisions in a faster-paced game.

“I feel like if I can step out and shoot the 3, defenses will have to respect me,” said Navigato, who also led Toledo in free-throw shooting at 83 percent. “If I can hit the outside shots, it will open up the driving aspect for me. It really frees up the whole floor for my teammates and I.” With Mercury Elite, Thomas found Navigato to be an incredibly humble player that would deflect credit for his team’s success to his teammates.

He coached him as a point-forward or point-center that could play and guard every position.

But mostly, he encountered a player with an exemplary attitude and a cerebral game.

“Nate really wants to be coached,” Thomas said. “He wants to master his craft. He challenged me as a coach because he would perfect something we’d been working on and want to move on to the next thing. I’d have to reach out to colleagues and other staff members because he wanted to be pushed.

“It sounds like coach speak, but he’s an even better person than he is a basketball player. And he’s a darn good basketball player.”

Nate Navigato, a 2015 Geneva graduate, plans to work on expanding his muscle mass as well as his skill set during his first Toledo men’s basketball offseason.

Graham Lillibridge left his Geneva home to begin pursuing a junior hockey career last fall. This week, his homecoming became official. Lillibridge, a Yale-bound defenseman playing in the U.S. Hockey League, was traded from the Muskegon (Michigan) Lumberjacks to the Geneva-based Chicago Steel, for whom he will play in the 2016-17 season while finishing his senior year at Geneva. A former boys golf standout for the Vikings, Lillibridge will not return to the links next fall, although he is competing as a prep golfer for Mona Shores High in Norton Shores, Mich., this spring. Kane County Chronicle sports editor Kevin Druley recently reached Lillibridge by phone to discuss the trade, Lillibridge’s excitement level and more. An edited transcript of their conversation follows in the latest edition of the Weekly Chit-chat: How cool is it to know this is in place?

It’s all positives for me and my family, you know. I get to come back and live at home, so my mom is really happy about that. I get to go back to my old high school, so things will go as they used to do. And then in terms of playing in my hometown, that’s where I started out playing, so it’s kind of cool how everything comes full circle, you know. And also, I’m really comfortable playing for the coach that I’m going to be, in Dan Muse. He recruited me to go to Yale, and that’s the school I picked to go to, so I obviously was comfortable with him being my coach at the

QUILL THE UMPIRE Chris Rollin Walker if said moms love watching their kids or grandkids play baseball, can’t they have one day away from the diamond where the day is solely theirs?

Apparently not when there is money to be made.

I certainly didn’t hesitate at the opportunity to make a decent chunk of cash this weekend. With the complex just 10 minutes from home, working 10 games in two days meant a solid paycheck – and one that would go directly to my wife, who is also the world’s best mom.

I guess you could say that my working all weekend was actually my Mother’s Day gift to my wife.

I still kind of feel dirty about it, though. On May 8, I called my mother and my grandmother to wish them a happy Mother’s Day. Their cards went out in the mail earlier in the week, so I suppose I did what a typical person at least does to honor the mother figures

Weekly

CHIT-CHAT GRAHAM LILLIBRIDGE Chicago Steel defenseman collegiate level and playing the style of game that he wanted to play – or they played at Yale – and he obviously liked the way that I played and felt … that was what he was looking for. So I think that it will be a good fit for me, especially on the hockey side of things.

When did you learn of everything?

Actually, the trade got done [April 25], but on the 26th, all the papers were finalized and stuff, so then I got a call after school on the 26th and found out that I’d been traded to Chicago. And then USA Hockey has a freeze or a dry period, and that’s why the Steel or Muskegon couldn’t tweet anything about it or announce it.

Did you have to keep it hush-hush from your folks?

No. I got a call from the general manager of the Muskegon Lumberjacks [former NHL goaltender John Vanbiesbrouck] and he informed me I had been traded, and then I called my

in their life. My wife was still sleeping when I went to work May 8, but I left her a card and would call her later, while reminding the kids that it was her special day.

I also went out of my way to wish any women in the stands that I assumed were mothers a similar sentiment. Still, a part of me just felt icky that I was spending an entire day on the diamond rather than at a Mother’s Day party or simply at home with my wife and kids.

It was my choice, though. I didn’t have to take the games, but I wanted the cash, and the opportunity to work enticed me. So Mother’s Day became Just Another Day to me.

Sadly, even though youth baseball serves many purposes in nurturing young kids, these tournaments come down to one thing only. Whether it’s a particular town hosting or an independent sports event management company, the only thing that all these weekend tournaments really care about is making money.

The same can be said for an umpire like me.

There was only one reason I spent my weekend at the ball diamond, and

it was for the paycheck. The so-called umpire purists are probably writhing as they read this, but those same guys also weren’t the ones willing to work this past weekend when there was a dire need for umpires, either.

Actually, I suppose I could say that I didn’t umpire for the paycheck, but for my wife, since she’s the recipient of my paycheck and thus my working was actually a complete and beautiful Mother’s Day gift in itself, just without the X’s an O’s. You won’t find a similar sentiment on a Hallmark.

I talked to a lot of moms in the stands over the weekend and was surprised that none of them said they were disappointed that they had to spend “their” day at the ballpark. Perhaps they were just being polite, but the general consensus I made was they were just happy to be able to spend time watching their son or grandson, which ultimately has forced me to reconsider my initial feelings.

Could it be that being able to be a “baseball mom” on Mother’s Day is the best way to also celebrate the holiday?

mom and dad and just informed them I had been traded to Chicago, and that was just the conversation. And then I had to call my adviser, discuss it with him and everything. And then I talked with my family later about it as well as talking to the GM of the Steel [Ryan Bennett] and Dan Muse. … I’ll finish school here and then come back home before the Steel’s camp, which is the 10th through 13th of June. So I’ll come home before that, have the camp and then I’ll be at home all summer, and then I’ll obviously start school and start the season in August.

man to balance IHSA golf with the Steel in the fall of your senior year at Geneva.

Yeah. There’s no chance of playing golf next year.

How has it been playing high school golf in another state?

It’s been good, you know. The USHL season is a long season, and tough on your body and stuff. When you’re going so long, and you go basically year-round hockey, you just really need a break. So playing on the golf team has been a nice break. The weather has not been great, but it’s definitely been better than expected.

And then I like all of the guys on the team, and they like me, so I mean, it’s all good there. The coach takes it really seriously, which is a good thing.

We’re playing a lot of good tournaments and a lot of nice courses, so I’ve been really pleased with my decision to actually play. … When we didn’t make the playoffs, I decided to play, and I’ve been happy with my decision.

I would trust that you’d have to be Super-

See TROUPERS, page 6

What’s the school nickname at Mona Shores?

The Sailors. … It’s light blue and white. … It’s a little bit lighter than the Geneva royal blue.

What was the timetable of first being in contact with coach Muse?

We’ve been in contact since the summer of my freshman and sophomore year [in 2014]. He kept with the recruiting of me during my sophomore year, and that’s when I made my decision, about halfway through my sophomore year. … This past summer, it was announced he would be the head coach of the Steel. I think it’s just cool I get to play for the guy that recruited me, and who I thought I was going to be playing for. So I’m really excited about that. … When he called me on the Tuesday night when I found out about the trade, he just said, “We’re really excited to have you.” He said we need a guy to run the power play, move the puck on the back end.

He said I obviously know you can do that, I thought you had a good first year in the USHL. He just said he’s really excited for me to come in and be a big part of the team this year and really fit in with the style that not only he’s trying to play, but he’s also trying to convert the Steel into playing.

There are some things that I never thought I’d do.

Umpire on Mother’s Day is one of them. Wearing a pink shirt while umpiring is another. Throwing out an asinine coach while donning said pink shirt is yet another.

Now, I know that the color red raises blood pressure, but pink relates to unconditional love and understanding. Apparently, this coach didn’t understand my call.

That incident occurred several years ago. Nonetheless, I found myself at the same complex this past weekend to work a tournament, one that concluded on May 8, Mother’s Day. Is nothing sacred anymore?

I know the pros play on Mother’s Day. I also realize that no one can possibly imagine Thanksgiving without football. Heck, even on Christmas, when you’re done opening your presents, you usually can watch (but why?) an NBA game or two.

But youth baseball? All day on Mother’s Day? Seriously?

Aren’t we supposed to celebrate and honor the mothers and other motherly figures in our lives on this day? Even

KANE COUNTY PREPS ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Preparing for takeoff

JUSTIN TAORMINA Geneva Senior | Boys track and field Why Taormina was selected: Taormina swept both the 100-meter (10.81) and 200-meter dash (22.14) and also ran the first leg of the Vikings county champion 4x200 relay at the Kane County boys track and field meet at Kaneland on May 6.

Geneva senior Justin Taormina had a final county meet he won’t soon forget.

Taormina won both the 100 and 200 dashes, while also helping Geneva’s 4x200 relay – alongside Donny Friedel, Sean Chambers and Zeke Buck – win a county championship in 1:29.48. Taormina, who also cleared a state-qualifying 22 feet, 2.5 inches in the long jump to take fourth at county, earned Kane County Chronicle/St. Charles Bank & Trust Athlete of the Week honors for his efforts. Here’s an edited transcript of his conversation with Chronicle sports reporter Chris Casey.

200 and almost in the 4x200, it was just a great, great night. I’m really just so excited.

Physically, how are you feeling?

I thought I was done, honestly. When I was warming up, I wasn’t sure if I had it in me. I was just drinking water, drinking water and stretching out. I knew it was now or never, and I found that extra burst in me and let it fly. My teammates just told me 22.14, that’s nuts.

When you get tired, how much is it mentally pushing yourself though it?

How do you sum up a night like you It’s senior year. You always want senior had? year to be your best year. That’s why I’m It was just a great night. Qualifying for trying to go out with a bang, and I think state in long (jump), the 100, now the I’m on my way.

There’s nothing quite like the crack of the bat against a ball that, you can just hear, is going all the way. Or, the roar of the crowd when someone’s rounding third headed straight for home plate.

Baseball doesn’t get old. Neither does rooting for a team you’ve grown up with. Here’s to this season and to our teams. We’re ready for you to bring it home!

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF COMMUNITY BANKING!

Kaneland’s Tristan Kinder throws the discus at the Kane County boys track and field meet at Kaneland on May 6. Kinder won the event with a heave of 144 feet, 10 inches. Kaneland finished third in the 13-team meet with 96.5 points, 35.5 behind champion Batavia.

• TROUPERS

Continued from page 5 “I’ve done this for so many years now that I can’t remember the last time that I didn’t,” said Sara Cummings of Wadsworth. “I’m pretty much used to it by now.”

Galena’s Pat Alsbaugh said that she’s happy to spend as much time as she can with her daughter and her grandkids, and to do so at the diamond on Mother’s Day is as good as any time.

“Since he was little, I’ve been out here as much as I can,” she said.

“On Saturday we exchanged cards and had a nice Mother’s Day dinner, but then (Sunday) it’s been all about baseball again, but I love it. I’m used to this routine.”

Bloomington’s Sandra Sharp, who mentioned that moms have received roses at other Mother’s Day tournaments – but nothing this time – acknowledged that baseball has simply

surpassed Mother’s Day. “I believe this is the fifth straight year we’ve had a tournament on Mother’s Day,” she said. “It doesn’t bother me, though. I get to see him play and that’s what I love to see as much as anything.”

It’s obvious that chicks don’t just dig the long ball; they dig spending time watching their kids play, even when it’s on their own special day.

Such selfless acts are just another reason why we’re blessed to have such people in our lives. It may be belated, but I hope every mother had a wonderful Mother’s Day and was doted on by their loved ones.

If not, then someone really struck out big time, and that would be, well, not motherly at all.

By NICOLE ANZIA Special to The Washington Post It’s that time of year: For-rent and for-sale signs are sprouting like spring flowers and people are madly searching for movers. If you are moving, whether to an apartment or a house, upsizing or downsizing, planning is the most important thing you can do.

Packing 101: Start early. Packing always takes longer than people expect, and doing a little each day is much less stressful than trying to do it all right before your movers arrive.

You’re going to need a lot of boxes and packing materials. Whatever your estimate is for what you think you need, double it. Really. Check local e-mail groups for postings offering free moving boxes. If you are using a moving company, ask whether the boxes and packing supplies can be dropped off several weeks ahead of your scheduled move date, or order boxes and packing materials online. Make sure you have boxes in a variety of sizes.

Once you’re ready to pack, go room by room and pack similar things together. Start by packing the rooms and items that are not in daily use. Pack your kitchen last, and label each box clearly with the contents and where you want it in your new home. Be as specific about the contents of each box as possible, especially with kitchen items.

It will make unpacking so much easier.

And even though it should go without saying, don’t pack keys, computers, jewelry or important paperwork. Take them over to the house yourself and put them somewhere safe.

Clean out now: Nothing motivates people to de-clutter and purge more than having to wrap, pack and unpack all of their possessions. You probably won’t have time to clean out every room or every closet, but if you haven’t used or worn something in a long time or no longer like it, don’t pay the movers to transport it. Set it aside to donate, give away or sell before your move.

• MOVES

Continued from page 2 Prepare the new home: Whether you are buying or renting your new home, put some thought into any cosmetic changes that can be made before you move in. Painting will be easier without furniture in the room. Schedule a carpet cleaning at the new place and send rugs for cleaning a couple of weeks before you move. If you’re considering refinishing hardwood floors, you need to do it before you move. Remember, you are going to need some kind of window treatments in bedrooms and bathrooms,

so get started early if you need to have the windows measured and blinds or curtains professionally installed. Even if you’re going to do very temporary window coverings to begin with, know how many and what size you’ll need, especially in private spaces. And thoroughly clean your new home before the move.

Once everything is in, it is much more difficult to do a comprehensive cleaning.

Plan the space: To save time on moving day and to give yourself some peace of mind, plot where you are going to put everything in your new place. If possible, take measurements, especially of key walls or spaces where big pieces, such as a sectional or media cabinet,

could be placed. You probably will have to improvise a little on moving day, but you don’t want to be debating furniture placement while the movers are being paid by the hour.

Think about the essentials: A couple of days before the movers arrive, buy the essentials: paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent, garbage bags and cans, and soap. Take them to your new home. Pack a couple of suitcases or boxes with clean sheets, blankets and pillows for each bed, bath towels and toiletries. That way, you won’t be scrambling to find your toothbrush and bedding at the end of your exhausting move day.

Organize the kitchen: Prioritize getting your kitchen unpacked and organized. Nourishment during such a stressful and exhausting process is important. The sooner you can cook a meal in your new home, the sooner it will begin to start to feel like home.

Before the move, take pictures of your new kitchen and think about where it makes most sense to put everything. For instance, plates and dishes can go in the appropriately sized cabinet nearest the dishwasher, and pots, pans and spices should be near the stove. If you have time before the move, label the cabinets and drawers with sticky notes to indicate where you think the items will go. This is especially helpful if you have friends or family members who are helping you unpack.

Billy Davis Jr. and Marilyn McCoo (above) will bring their music fable, “Up, Up and Away,” (below) May 15 to the Arcada Theatre.

‘PASSION ... FOR MUSIC AND FOR EACH OTHER’ The Next Dimension set to hit Arcada stage

By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com It has been a long time.

Not only have Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. been performing for close to 50 years, but they also have been married for more than 40 years.

When asked what keeps them performing, Davis Jr. said it was what attracted them to each other in the beginning – “the love and passion we have for music and for each other.”

Some of the hits they’ve been a part of – such as “Up, Up and Away” and “Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In” – came from the 1960s and 1970s, when both McCoo and Davis Jr. were in the American R&B group The 5th Dimension.

Eventually, however, they decided it was in their best interests to leave that group. They quickly struck gold as a duo with the single “You Don’t Have To Be A Star (To Be In My Show),” one of their seven Grammy Award-winning projects.

McCoo and Davis Jr. are set to perform their musical fable, also titled “Up, Up and Away,” at The Arcada Theatre in St. Charles on May 15, sharing their story through music and love.

The duo caught up with Kane County Chronicle reporter Chris Casey to discuss their excitement for the show and what being in music for 50-plus

Chris Casey: How hard is it to stay relevant today when a majority of your music comes from a different generation?

Billy Davis Jr.: Honestly, thank God

for YouTube. I’m not sure with the way that things are today that we would have known what to do. Someone went and put all of our music on YouTube, and – before we knew it – we were looking at our younger selves and saying: ‘Wow, I didn’t know I looked this good. What happened to me now?’

But seriously, thank God we have that platform now.

Marilyn McCoo: You know, the music has changed, and yet it hasn’t. Music

today still has strong influences from our era. We both feel that younger years understand where our music came from. You hear it in artists that are hot and relevant today. Some people may not be familiar with our music but can go online and check us out.

We hear a lot that they didn’t know us, but our music is cool. We love that because it gets introduced to a whole new generation.

Casey: What does it mean to do this together for all these years?

McCoo: Our situation is an oddity

in our business today. We really do share all of that in the show and what it’s like. When Billy and I first met, one

of the things that caused us to connect was our passion for music. He grew up in St. Louis and I in Los Angeles.

We both wanted to sing since we were kids, so we started as friends. We really shared the love of music; then we started singing with 5th Dimension.

But we found that we loved singing together as duets. Our voices blended so well, so we started spending more time talking about life and how we felt about treating people, and it turns out we had a lot in common.

Davis Jr.: We got along so well, and – once we left the group – we had an opportunity to go out on our own. We didn’t want anything to get in the way of our relationship, so we went to the record company and said we wanted to do this together. Before we knew it, our next record was out called ‘You Don’t Have To Be A Star (To Be In My Show).’

Casey: Are you looking forward to anything in particular about the show at The Arcada?

McCoo: We have not been in the area

in a while. We saw that The Arcada has such a variety of acts come through there. We’re really pleased about playing in the greater Chicago area.

Our music hasn’t been heard there in a while. We have new treatments that we are doing from our era that we think will be found quite interesting. The music is very relevant. It’s going to be [an] interesting afternoon and performance for people from our era, but also younger people to see how the more things change, they remain the same.

The late Nancy Carrigan’s works will be displayed at Water Street Studios from May 13 until June 4. Her husband, Dick, will supply selected works, which will be curated by Steve Sherrell.

Husband shares works by late wife at Water Street Studios gallery showing bdraper@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Dick Carrigan continues to share his wife’s art nearly two years after her passing.

Water Street Studios, 160 S. Water St., Batavia, will feature a collection of artist Nancy Carrigan’s paintings, prints, drawings and sculptures from May 13 until June 4. An opening reception will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. May 13. The showing is entitled “Il Chino e la Sirena” and serves as a retrospective.

Carrigan, who passed away in 2014, was a multimedia, multi-disciplined artist. In addition to painting, she was also a published poet, sculptor, fiction and children’s author, editor, costume and set designer, and print maker. She worked mainly out of her Warrenville home studio for 26 years.

“She wanted to do everything,” Dick Carrigan said in a news release. “She was a stage actor in high school. She loved to write. She was active in her faith. And she wanted to be an artist.”

She once admitted to being frus-

trated by having to decide on which of her many pursuits to concentrate. She was quoted as saying, “I once read that someone told Leonardo da Vinci that if he’d stick to one thing he might amount to something. I’d like to be three people so I could paint more, write for children more and write more poetry.”

Nancy Carrigan was always expanding her work, and as she did, so did the recognition she received.

“I think she was most proud of the moment one of her larger horse sculptures was chosen as the top prize in a Chicago show,” Dick Carrigan said.

“I remember her feeling particularly happy about that.”

Also on May 13, the Kane County Chronicle Gallery at Water Street Studios, who are involved in Art Flow 2016 – which is Water Street Studios’ Batavia community outreach arts education program – will feature work from students ranging from firstthrough 12th-graders.

Elburn Town and Country Public Library’s Summer Reading program this year will feature a sports theme in the spirit of the Illinois Library Association’s theme of “Read for the Win.” Throughout Summer Reading, Town and Country Public Library will offer prizes such as a Colonial Café coupon for a free kids meal, a Funway gift certificate and more. There will be a Barnes and Noble gift card for anyone who completes all four levels of the reading program, On July 15, the Elburn and Countryside Fire Protection District will stop by the library for its yearly visit.

With Sparky the dog in tow, the fire protection district will make available an obstacle course for kids, as well as a hazard house, where Elburn fire staff can note and point out various dangers “We will have our regular programs going on, with specialty programs interspersed throughout the summer,” Youth Services librarian Jeanine McDonald said. “We will have all of our regular story times; Tech for Kids will be back. Summer enrichment programs will be going on, specialty programs for the younger children and maybe a couple activities for the teens and tweens of the library district as well.”

The Summer Reading program will conclude on Aug. 5 with a party at the library. The grand finale will feature a magician, comedian and face painter, as well as a henna artist for teens and tweens. Colonial Café will be present with its ice cream truck. Pizza,

St. Charles resident and guitar teacher Andrew Bordoni (right) performs with his son, Liam, last year during an annual student concert.

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – To some, Andrew Bordoni’s home on the east side of St. Charles might not seem like a recording studio.

But Bordoni, who has given guitar lessons there since 2008, has turned his living room into a place where his students can experience what it’s like to record in a studio. The space isn’t perfect – outside noise can prompt a rescheduling – but various elements help make it a “really nice-sounding room,” he said.

People can judge for themselves.

The recordings are available as free downloads on his website, www. bordonimusic.com. Click on “Student Recordings” under the “Our Students” tab.

“I work with them almost like a professional producer,” Bordoni said.

In 2015, he released “The Bordoni Music Student Recordings,” a digital album of his students covering such songs as Joan Jett’s “I Love Rock and Roll,” Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” and Bruce Springsteen’s “Glory Days.”

While those recordings include a full band, Bordoni this year took a bare-bones approach with his acoustic guitar students.

“It’s all natural,” he said of “The Living Room Sessions.”

Some students might record multiple takes, but they have noticed that some magic is lost in trying to get it just right, Bordoni said.

“To capture a good performance, it doesn’t have to be pitch perfect,” he said.

If you go n WHAT: Bordoni Music’s annual stu-

dent concert supporting JDRF n WHEN: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Oct. 4 n WHERE: Arcada Theatre, 105 E. Main

St., St. Charles n INFO: Admission is free. Reserve a

table with a $50 minimum donation or reserve a seat with a $10 minimum donation. Specify reservations in the “personal note” section when donating.

Donations will benefit JDRF to help find a cure for Type 1 diabetes. Visit www. bordonimusic.com for information.

Bordoni – whose students are of all ages and include “American Idol” contestant Kayla Mickelsen – said he enjoys watching them discover they have “incredible” talent.

In addition to helping them make a recording of themselves that they can be proud of, he has given them a true stage to perform on for their annual student concert: The Arcada Theatre in downtown St. Charles.

Bordoni already is promoting the Oct. 4 concert, which offers free admission and seeks to raise money for JDRF in support of Type 1 diabetes research.

“It’s been a passion of mine to change the world through the power of music, and there is nothing that makes me happier to help my students succeed and see them change the world with their gifts and talents,” Bordoni wrote in an email.

LEARNING TO GROW Darlie Simerson root system making them resistant to drought.

Take care when choosing native plants for your garden to make sure they are a good match. Some native plants are aggressive growers and self-seeders, which make them candidates for naturalizing large areas but not good choices for small areas.

Also native plants are not necessarily immune to disease and insect problems, especially non-native insects. Soil conditions, especially in urban and suburban areas, may not be conducive to native plant growth, as this is not the native soil. Keep in mind that some native plants are not attractive and a few are poisonous, such as poison ivy and sumac.

Do your research and ask for help from your local nursery that stocks native plants before considering native plantings. You can always start small and expand later. I am starting with Asclepias canadensis – or butterfly milkweed – to attract bees and butterflies this summer. Happy planting!

St. Charles guitar teacher gives students studio experience

What is all the hype about native plants? What plants are considered to be native, and are they all good choices to use in landscaping?

These are questions I had when planning a new flower garden this spring. For answers, I referred to the University of Illinois Extension horticulture web page for multiple resources available to me as a master gardener, and you as an interested gardener.

Native plants are those found growing in the area when plant collections were first recorded, usually during the time when European settlers arrived.

Determining what you want to include as native plantings involves deciding how you define the region, state versus county versus immediate area. You must also decide if you want to be a “purist” and use only original occurring species or if you are satisfied to use cultivars created from the original. An example of this is the many variations of the coneflower or the original Echinacea purpurea (purple coneflower).

One advantage of using native plants is they are accustomed to, and thus more tolerant of, local weather changes. Also they require less maintenance, including water and chemicals. They reduce lawn care needs and provide shelter and food that is specific to local native wildlife. Native plants add beauty to the garden and include trees and shrubs, as well as perennial flowers, grasses and ferns. You can mix them with non-native plants or plant in exclusively native, usually informal, settings. Many native plants take time to establish because they create a deep

Prince tribute band info, Guns N’ Roses update and more “I was DEVASTATED by the loss of Prince! I saw you had a major tribute band the day after he died. How did you get the band so fast?” – Jimmy D., St. Charles

That’s not how it happened! I saw these guys in New York in January.

They were amazing and included Doctor Fink, who was in The Revolution, Prince’s band, was in the film “Purple Rain” and received two Grammy Awards for his work on the “Purple Rain” album. They were the real deal!

It was divine intervention that I happened to book them for the day after the passing of the “Prince of Pop.” It was an incredibly moving night – especially for the finale. That afternoon, we managed to get 900 purple glow sticks that the audience cracked open during “Purple Rain.” Not a dry eye in the house.

“I have been hearing mixed reviews of the Guns N’ Roses tour. Have you heard anything about how it REALLY is?” – Danielle H., Carol Stream

I have heard from several folks in the know, and they all say that Axl has rarely sounded better, and that it has all the excitement that the shows used to have. Slash is still sporting the top hat but has given up smoking and drinking! An untimely fall practically crushed Axl’s foot, but instead of can-

Ron Onesti celing the tour (like the old Axl probably would have done) he marched on, in the “throne” chair used by the Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl when a similar thing happened to him. Bottom line, enjoy the “Cold November Rain”!

“I was at your ‘Cornerstones of Rock: American Garage’ show with all those bands from the ’60s. I noticed Jimy Sohns from the Shadows of Knight, who was in the PBS special and at your other shows, was not there.” – Celia T., St. Charles

About a week before the show, the vocalist who made “G-L-O-R-I-A” one of the top songs in rock ‘n’ roll history, suffered a stroke. But he caught it in time, driving himself to the hospital!

He is already at about 80 percent, working hard every day to get his strength back. He is singing daily and plans on returning to The Arcada for the Sept. 3 presentation of “Cornerstones.” He is a close friend, and we can’t wait to have him back joining The Buckinghams, The Ides of March, The Cryan’ Shames and The New Colony Six on stage!

He was actually an unofficial photographer for the Muhammad Ali/Joe Frazier heavyweight championship.

His daughter Nancy told me that he loved taking pictures, and they have volumes upon volumes of pics of her and her sister Tina and brother Frank Jr. as little ones.

“Tell me it isn’t true – Steven Tyler has gone country?” – Bob B., Bartlett

Kind of. I posed the same question to Brad Whitford, guitarist for the monster band Aerosmith before his recent appearance at The Arcada.

“Yep, Steven has a new country album out. He has chosen to focus on that for now, and not tour with us, so for now, no American tour is planned for 2016.

I am sure he will be back, and frankly, we feel a bit abandoned by him. But Steven is Steven.”

original drummer Danny Seraphine were to join the band for the induction ceremonies. But Danny tells me that Peter wanted to do a song in his key, with some of his band members, and the conversations just went south from there. Cetera didn’t even show up at the ceremonies. I was pretty bummed myself, as I was there for the TV taping in Brooklyn, hanging with Danny and fellow inductee Robin Zander of Cheap Trick.

Dick is alive and well, and will hit 91 years young in December. For the past 15 or so years, he has been touring the country with his a cappela vocal group, The Vantastix.

Wine and music part of weekly tasting events in Geneva

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – For many a Saturday night, Geneva Wine Cellars & Tasting Room at the Berry House, 227 S. Third St., Geneva, has been the place to be – not only for tasting different wines but also for listening to live music.

Owner Al Buchanan said he started the Geneva Wine Cellars $8 Wine Flights All Day and Live Local Music events after opening in 2013. Wine experts choose a different theme for wine tasting every weekend, usually focusing on grapes from a specific geographical area, he said.

Tastings of five to seven wines are actually offered all weekend, but live music is featured from 8 to 10 p.m. on scheduled Saturday nights, said Geneva Wine Cellars’ certified sommelier Elizabeth Kowal.

General tastings are offered from 4 to 9 p.m. Fridays, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturdays and from 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays, Kowal wrote in an email. Participants get an ounce of each wine to taste.

All of the tastings are conducted by a wine representative or a trained staff member, such as Kowal herself or Kath-

to sell bottles of wine,” Buchanan said.

“People will stumble across a wine they just fall in love with. And then they drink that wine and no other for the rest of their lives. If you stop when you think you found the perfect wine, you are assured you will never find the truly perfect wine, [and] wines [from] different parts of world are never experienced.”

“There are so many different flavor profiles, so many aromatic profiles, that I think experimenting is a good thing,” he said. “And if you present people with a line-up of new wines, it’s a wonderful opportunity for them to try something Photo provided they would never pick off the shelf.”

As to the live music, Buchanan said Todd Huddleston of Fine Vines, pours wine at one of Geneva Wine Cellars’ weekly wine tasting events. The company, located in the Berry House, 227 S.

ALL, for God’s sake. But maybe I “Sure,” the guy said, gamely, and could share? waved me in. YES. I shared. Who needs “dinner” when Veggie cream cheese. A root beer you have bialys? for Holly. A package of bacon. This “Mom, take your groceries and go,” was going so well! A smattering of Holly wryly said after finishing hers. tiny salads stuffed into itty bitty cups, (I’d eaten mine while driving home. I and cashew matzo brittle smothered may have gotten cream cheese on the in chocolate. (I know, right? Oh my steering wheel.) My girl had homeGAWD.) All the important food groups work to finish, and my plan to sack were represented. Feeling triumphant, out on the couch beside her in a quiet I paid for my haul. And then I spotted carb coma was apparently cramping the bagel sign hanging above the guy’s her style. Pfft. “But perhaps you could head. I could see that the bagel bin was make the bacon?” she added. At least empty, but I couldn’t see the ENTIRE she had the decency to wince at that

bacon bit.

“HAHAHA! Perhaps!” I had just enough energy to threaten a good tickling. The nerve!

“What ARE these things?” Noah called from the kitchen, after he arrived home from his shift at Trader Joe’s a few moments later.

“Bialys,” I called back.

“Bialys?” So it wasn’t just me.

“If a bagel and a bun had a baby,” I began — No, I didn’t really say that.

Shoot. But I did tell him about how I scored them after talking that poor guy into letting me in.

“You’re the kind of people we hate, Mom,” he said, as I heard him put his work stuff away and rummage around in the kitchen.

“Nice. Whatcha doing?” I asked.

“I’m eating a bialy,” he said, as he wandered into the living room and popped the last bite into his mouth. “‘Hate,’ huh?” I retorted, as the Big Red Dog, ever hopeful himself, followed close behind in case crumbs should fall. Perhaps they would.

I called home from a long, threeday conference. It was only in Naperville, and I came home each night, but still, I missed face time with my girl.

“I got you a present,” I said. “It’s green and it’s round. And you can eat it.”

“A lollipop?”

“Nope. It’s sweet, but has no added sugar.” Ha. “You’ll love it.” She would.

“You got me a green apple?” Ding!

Ding! Ding! She LOVES green apples.

“Yeah! They gave them to us at lunch, so I saved mine for you,” I said.

Silence.

“Can you stop at the Commons on your way home and buy me a caramel apple?”

“Hahahaha!” My kid, the optimist.

“Is that a no?” she asked.

“Ha!“ Yes, that was a no.

“I’ll just eat the apple, I guess.”

Yeah, I guess.

At the end of the next day, the conference’s last, I hightailed it over to a nearby deli. I was ravenous. Didn’t want to cook. Had people to feed. The sign in the window listing their hours didn’t look promising (they were to have closed 15 minutes earlier), but still, the lights were on. Hope springs eternal. I tried the door. Pastrami was at stake!

18 Good sleep nixes need for supplements Dear Dr. K: I have trouble falling asleep

and melatonin has not worked. I want to avoid medications, and I have read that magnesium supplements can help. Should I try them?

Dear Reader: Magnesium is important for many biological functions, including nerve and muscle function. It may have a role as a preventive treatment for migraine headaches. But there is not strong scientific evidence for its use with insomnia.

The studies that have suggested a sleep benefit have been small (fewer than 50 participants) and short (eight weeks). Small benefits in sleep quality were observed in subjects who were elderly. One study was of nursing home residents. With such limited evidence, it is difficult to strongly support regular use of magnesium for insomnia.

Is there a reason to think you lack magnesium? Since most of the magnesium in the body is inside cells and bones, blood levels of the mineral do not tell the whole story. Magnesium deficiency is common in hospitalized individuals. That’s particularly true for patients in intensive care units.

But it is unusual in healthy people.

You may be at increased risk of low magnesium if you take certain medications. Some diuretic medicines, used to get rid of excess fluid and to lower blood pressure, increase magnesium loss in the urine.

Long-term use of proton-pump inhibitors for acid reflux can interfere with magnesium absorption. In most other people, dietary magnesium should be sufficient.

Your kidneys control how much magnesium is eliminated in your urine. When your blood levels of magnesium are low, your kidneys keep magnesium in the blood and out of the urine.

If you’d like to increase your dietary magnesium intake, focus on eating more

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff green leafy vegetables, nuts and seeds.

These foods are part of a healthy diet and also associated with a reduced risk of heart disease.

The following “sleep hygiene” habits will also help you get some shuteye: • Stay away from stimulants. Avoid caffeinated beverages after early afternoon.

Avoid alcoholic “nightcaps,” as alcohol also is a stimulant. At first, it may help you to nod off. But several hours after your last drink, the alcohol starts stimulating the brain, keeping you from deep sleep.

• Don’t nap if you can avoid it. If you can’t stay awake, limit yourself to a 15- to 20-minute afternoon nap.

• Exercise regularly, but not within a few hours before bedtime. Exercise stimulates the brain and makes it harder to fall asleep promptly.

• Set a sleep schedule. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, shooting for seven to nine hours of sleep.

• Make your bedroom a sleep sanctuary.

Reserve it for sleep, intimacy, and restful activities such as meditation and reading for pleasure. Keep it cool, dark and quiet.

• Don’t watch the clock. Watching the sleepless minutes pass makes it harder to fall back to sleep.

• Establish a relaxing routine before bedtime. Meditate, take a warm shower or listen to quiet music.

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

CROSSWORD PUZZLE ANSWERS

Uncertain Down South Dear Uncertain: I agree with your husband, for

all of the reasons you mentioned. Your daughter’s birth parents made their wishes clear from the outset. You wouldn’t be in this bind if you had respected them. Because your daughter’s birth parents are addicts, it is very important for her to understand that she may have a genetic tendency toward addiction herself. If she would like to locate her birth family when she is an adult, tell her you will help her then. But prepare her in advance so she will know what she’s in for.

Dear Abby: I’ve never seen this question in your column. A female co-worker of mine wears a wig, and it’s getting pretty scruffy. No one acknowledges her hairpiece, yet we all know she wears one. If it were me, I would want someone to tell me it’s time for a shampoo (or replacement?).

When it was new, it was lovely. She’s a wonderful person, and we don’t want to embarrass her.

Should we say something, or is it none of our business? Your thoughts? – Working Woman Dear Working Woman: There is no way to diplomatically tell a person wearing a hairpiece that she (or he) is fooling no one or that it’s looking ratty. If you do, it will cause embarrassment, or worse, hurt feelings. So resist the urge unless the woman asks for your opinion.

Teens: Eighteen years ago, the tobacco industry signed a pact to stop directing advertisements at teens.

However, two Boston-based researchers indicated that cigarette makers are still spending large amounts of money for magazine ads targeted at middle-and highschool students.

This study reported that these ads for cigarette brands reached 82 percent of U.S. teens. Even though the number was down from 88 percent the year before, it was still considered much too high. The co-author of the study, Dr. Michael Siegel, a public health specialist at Boston University, said the findings show that the tobacco companies failed miserably at protecting teens from cigarette advertising.

It’s obvious that no matter what the tobacco companies say, they’ll still be encouraging teens one way or another to “light up and enjoy life.”

Smart teens will accept such advertisements for what they are – a way for tobacco companies to increase sales. When a teen becomes addicted, the tobacco companies have a user of their products for a

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace long time.

Think about it! If a 15-year-old becomes addicted to tobacco, it’s possible he or she will smoke for 60 or 70 years – unless death from a smoking-related illness cuts off the revenue stream.

Dr. Wallace: I’m concerned that you continue to promote attending a two-year community college. I’m aware that a student can attend a community college for two years and then transfer to a four-year college or university to earn a degree, but I’m not convinced that the instructors at community colleges are equal to those at fouryear institutions.

I graduated from a four-year school and the great number of my instructors had their doctor’s degree. My friend attended a two-year community college before graduating from a fouryear school. She told me that instructors with doctorates were extremely scarce at the communi-

ty college.

Is it possible that you attended a community college and that’s your primary reason for promoting them? – Jan, Lincoln Nebr.

Jan: I promote community colleges because they give many students an opportunity to receive quality higher education that they might not otherwise have. This education will serve the student well regardless of whether he or she wants to become a cosmetologist or an attorney. It’s possible for a student to spend two years at a community college and, by taking required courses, transfer to any four-year college or university in the country – just as your friend did.

The teaching staffs at community colleges are excellent. They’re usually on a par with the staffs at four-year schools. Many teachers who have Ph.D.s are excellent instructors, but it is not necessary to possess a doctor’s degree to be a superb teacher.

I did not have the pleasure of attending a community college.

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY We have a child who was adopted Jeanne through a closed Phillips adoption. We met the birth parents briefly at the hospital, but they wanted no further contact. Both birth parents had issues with drug abuse, and our daughter was born with drug issues, too.

A few years later, we were contacted via the adoption agency by the paternal birth grandparents. They requested some photos because the birth father was getting out of jail and they thought the photos would help keep him out of trouble. We sent a nice collection of photos and an update on our child. The next year, the birth grandparents sent a letter saying they would like more contact, including visits. They provided us with their names and contact info. The birth father, who now is back in jail, never contacted us and, as far as we know, does not want any contact.

The adoption agency says they will pass on information between us, but doesn’t have any advice on what we should do. Our daughter is 6 and has expressed interest in her birth family.

My husband wants no contact with the birth grandparents since neither of the birth parents consented to contact and it was a closed adoption. He also is concerned that our other adopted children may be hurt and jealous since they can’t have contact with their birth parents for various reasons. I am worried our daughter will be upset when she grows up that we never established a relationship with her birth family, but I really don’t want to be involved with a family with such complex drug and legal issues. Should we start a relationship with her birth grandparents? –

TELEVISION Best Bets THURSDAY

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM The Big Bang Theory A number of parents turn up on the concluding episode of the comedy’s ninth season, including one who hasn’t been seen before: Leonard’s (Johnny Galecki) father, played by veteran actor Judd Hirsch (“Taxi,” “Ordinary People”). Among those who have appeared previously, Christine Baranski — fresh off “The Good Wife” — and Laurie Metcalf (“Roseanne”) return as Leonard and Sheldon’s (Jim Parsons) mothers respectively. Kaley Cuoco and Simon Helberg also star.

7 p.m. on % WMAQ Strong Five teams remain. Four slots are available in the finals. Do the math. The new episode “Pay the Piper” finds the remaining contestants at the breaking point — and one of them actually crosses it, making things look decidedly unpromising for her squad. The raised stakes also make the Elimination Tower round particularly intense for the teams involved. Gabrielle Reece is the host.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Grey’s Anatomy After much debate over whether or not to proceed, Amelia and Owen (Caterina Scorsone, Kevin McKidd) move their romance to the next level in a new episode appropriately titled “At Last.” Callie and Arizona (Sara Ramirez, Jessica Capshaw) still experience strife over custody.

Alex (Justin Chambers) gets an indication of where he’s headed with Jo (Camilla Luddington). Debbie Allen and Wilmer Vanderrama guest star. Ellen Pompeo and Chandra Wilson also star.

7 p.m. on ) WGN DC’s Legends of Tomorrow The Time Masters’ close proximity doesn’t make Rip nor Rory (Arthur Darvill, Dominic Purcell) very pleased in the new episode “Destiny.” Snart (Wentworth Miller) shows different colors that land him more squarely on the side of the good guys. Sara (Caity Lotz) inherits control of the Waverider. Kendra and Carter (Ciara Renee, guest star Falk Hentschel) get back together.

Victor Garber and Brandon Routh also star.

7:31 p.m. on ^ WBBM The Odd Couple Emily (Lindsay Sloane) has a history of bad birthdays, so Felix (Thomas Lennon) tries to break that streak by arranging a dinner party in her honor in the new episode “A Dinner Engagement.” Charlotte’s (guest star Teri Hatcher) son (guest star Caleb Brown) does little to help her new romance with Oscar (Matthew Perry) run smoothly. Sheryl Underwood (“The Talk”) returns as Teddy’s (Wendell Pierce) wife. Yvette Nicole Brown also stars.

8 p.m. on % WMAQ The Blacklist The felon responsible for causing a major loss to the team is within striking distance in the new episode “Alexander Kirk.” While Reddington (James Spader) is used to operating outside the

Johnny Galecki stars in “The Big Bang Theory” Thursday on CBS.

8:30 p.m. on ^ WBBM 2 Broke Girls Often, it’s Han (Matthew Moy) who comes to the rescue of Max and Caroline (Kat Dennings, Beth Behrs), but it may be the other way around as the comedy ends its fifth season with “And the Big Gamble.” He’s gotten in over his head from gambling on women’s tennis matches, and if he can’t pay the sizable debt he owes, the result likely won’t be pretty. Garrett Morris, Jennifer Coolidge and Jonathan Kite also star.

9 p.m. on ^ WBBM Rush Hour Just when they think they’ve solved a case by stopping an armored-car heist, Carter and Lee (Justin Hires, Jon Foo) learn that was the tip of the iceberg in the new episode “Badass Cop.” That robbery may have been practice for a much bigger one, and the detectives have different opinions on which suspects they should pursue. Veteran character actor James Hong, wellknown for the “Chinese Restaurant” episode of “Seinfeld,” is among the guest stars.

9 p.m. on _ WLS The Catch Nia Vardalos (“My Big Fat Greek Wedding”) guest stars in the new episode “The Package,” playing an FBI prisoner who’s the object of a breakout attempt involving Ben (Peter Krause).

Alice (Mireille Enos) is surprised by what she learns about Sophie (Elvy Yost) in the course of trying to help one of the latter’s friends break a contract. Alimi Ballard, Jacky Ido, Rose Rollins, Jay Hayden and Sonya Walger also star.

9:01 p.m. on % WMAQ Game of Silence Just when he thought he knew what the revenge scheme was all about, Jackson (David Lyons) believes bigger forces are at play in the new episode “Into the Black.” He sees Diana Stockman (guest star Sharon Lawrence) as a key to the troubles, but she complicates matters by stoking Marina’s (Claire van der Boom) worries about Jackson and Jesse (Bre Blair). Shawn (Larenz Tate) relies on his instincts in trying to make the overall situation come out even.

Paula Patton (left) and Angela Bassett star in “Jumping the Broom” Friday on Fox.

law, his acquaintances on the FBI task force are not — translating into complications galore as they vengefully try to even the score. Harry Lennix and Diego Klattenhoff also star.

8 p.m. on _ WLS Scandal Series creator and executive producer Shonda Rhimes co-wrote the show’s fifth-season finale, “That’s My Girl,” in which the presidential candidates are on the verge of naming their running mates. The situation doesn’t bode well in Olivia’s (Kerry Washington) view. Cyrus (Jeff Perry) gets information that could have a major impact on the campaigning. Tony Goldwyn, Katie Lowes, Joshua Malina, Darby Stanchfield, Bellamy Young and Joe Morton also star.

8 p.m. on ) WGN The 100 The show’s third-season finale begins with “Perverse Instantiation — Part One,” which sees Clarke (Eliza Taylor) getting a very surprising impetus to maintain hope. Alie (guest star Erica Cerra) also is optimistic, but for a much different reason. Series regulars also include Paige Turco, Isaiah Washington, Henry Ian Cusick, Bob Morley, Marie Avgeropoulos, Lindsey Morgan, Devon Bostick and Richard Harmon.

8 p.m. on @ WFLD American Grit The challenges are many for the contestants in the new episode “Double Time.” They have to build a shelter for themselves, then put water through a purification process, and finally make a fire. As usual, the team that ends up with the bottom ranking will be subjected to “The Circus.”

John Cena is the host, and the members of the military-veteran “cadre” include Noah Galloway and Nick “The Reaper” Irving.

8:01 p.m. on ^ WBBM Mom The new episode “Mahjong Sally and the Ecstasy” is sort of this show’s version of “Rashomon,” as different versions of Violet (Sadie Calvano) and Gregory’s split leave Christy and Bonnie (Anna Faris, Allison Janney) debating whose to buy. A big factor is that Gregory’s take is conveyed by his mother (returning guest star Linda Lavin). Mimi Kennedy and Jaime Pressly also star.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Beyond the Tank Once you’ve landed an investment from one or more of “Shark Tank’s” Sharks, you’d better be ready to answer tough questions — as the California developer of a mobile-phone-based breathalyzer learns firsthand in this new episode. Kevin O’Leary is particularly concerned why the product’s impact isn’t greater. Daymond John checks on the managerial skills of the New York-based operators of a sock business.

Barbara Corcoran and Robert Herjavec also appear.

7 p.m. on ) WGN The Vampire Diaries The series wraps up its seventh season with “Gods & Monsters,” and it sets up a coming year bound to be a game-changer for the show by definition. Ian Somerhalder and Kat Graham have announced they’ll leave the roles of Damon and Bonnie after one more round — and both characters’ fates hang in the balance here, as he considers drastic action to save her. The

solution also may involve Caroline’s (Candice King) twin children. Paul Wesley also stars.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Movie: Jumping the Broom The turf Tyler Perry has mined so successfully is attempted by other filmmakers in this 2011 comedy-drama, in which two families of different socioeconomic levels are drawn together by a wedding on Martha’s Vineyard. Conflicts expectedly arise during the countdown to the nuptials.

The ensemble cast includes Perry-film veterans Angela Bassett and Loretta Devine, plus Laz Alonso, Paula Patton, Meagan Good, Mike Epps and Julie Bowen (“Modern Family”).

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Hawaii Five-0 Back-to-back episodes mark the end of the show’s sixth season. “Pa’a ka ’ipuka i ka ’upena nananana” (Hawaiian for “The Entrance is Stopped with a Spider’s Web”) traps the team inside an unstable building where assassins pursue the wounded Gabriel (Christopher Sean).

Then, in “O ke ali’I wale no ka’u makemake” (Hawaiian for “My Desire Is Only For The Chief”), McGarrett and Danny (Alex O’Loughlin, Scott Caan) are endangered while tracking a meth influx.

8 p.m. on % WMAQ Grimm The ongoing fight against Black Claw takes its toll on Nick (David Giuntoli), who seeks support from Monroe and Rosalee (Silas Weir Mitchell, Bree Turner) in the new episode “Bad Night.”

Renard (Sasha Roiz) increases his efforts to get himself elected. Adalind (Claire Coffee) has to make a big choice in order to keep her children safe. Hank gets a major surprise involving Zuri (guest star Sharon Leal). Wu (Reggie Lee) tries to deal with his new condition.

8 p.m. on ) WGN The Originals Freya’s (Riley Voelkel) visions enable her to foresee fresh danger for her family in the new episode “Give ’Em Hell Kid.” Vincent and Kol (Yusuf Gatewood, guest star Nathaniel Buzolic) make a very unusual journey to deal with the witches once and for all.

1 p.m. on @ WFLD NASCAR Racing The Monster Mile of Dover International Speedway is the scene as drivers including Daniel Suarez, Justin Allgaier and Ty Dillon get set to do battle in the Xfinity Series’ spring race on the Delaware oval. Chris Buescher employed a shrewd fuel strategy in last year’s race, drafting with teammate Darrell Wallace Jr. over the last 98 laps and passing him late to take his second win of 2015.

4 p.m. on _ WLS IndyCar Racing The Indianapolis 500 is more than two weeks away but IndyCar fans will get a different look at Indianapolis Motor Speedway today with the Grand Prix of Indianapolis. Here, drivers will negotiate the 2.439-mile road course that features a number of 90-degree turns, on which Will Power rode to victory last year by 1.5 seconds over Graham Rahal. Soon enough they’ll be going much faster on the big track.

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM NCIS: Los Angeles A previous case yields new concerns for Sam (LL Cool J) in “The Long Goodbye,” as a foreigner (guest star Ella Thomas) he convinced to seek asylum in the United States suddenly disappears. Kensi (Daniela Ruah) works with DEA operative Talia Del Campo (returning guest star Mercedes Mason). Linda Hunt, Eric Christian Olsen and Miguel Ferrer also star.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Movie: The Blind Side A true story that had a major box-office impact, this 2009 drama from director-screenwriter John Lee Hancock (“The Rookie”) was an Academy Award contender for best picture, and it brought Sandra Bullock an Oscar for best actress. She and country-music star Tim McGraw play a Southern couple who take in troubled youth Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) and give him the opportunity to become a football standout.

discord over their parenthood. A woman (guest star Kathryn O’Reilly) wants to give birth aboard her barge, but the arrival of a storm alters plans — and draws Phyllis and Patsy (Linda Bassett, Emerald Fennell) out in the weather.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD The Simpsons Sure, it’s a stunt, but it should be fun: Homer Simpson (voiced, as always, by Dan Castellaneta) will answer viewers’ questions live — on both the East and West Coasts — in the final minutes of the new episode “Simprovised.” The main story finds Homer turning to improv comedy to get his speaking mojo back after a presentation at work goes horribly wrong.

7:30 p.m. on @ WFLD Bob’s Burgers Entering a new chapter often means giving up an old one, as Tina (voice of Dan Mintz) learns when she gets to go to horse camp at last in the new episode “The Horse Rider-er.” Dealing with actual animals prompts her to let go of the one she’s long had in her mind, Jericho (voice of Paul Rudd). As Tina has that adventure, Linda (voice of John Roberts) tries to keep Gene and Louise (voices of Eugene Mirman and Kristen Schaal) from feeling left out.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Undercover Boss The unscripted series’ seventh season resumes with the new episode “Hamburger Mary’s,” about a restaurant franchise that’s very conscious of an LGBT clientele. Twin brothers Ashley and Brandon Wright operate the company, and their sharing of the duties makes it time-efficient for both to go incognito and observe their employees at work. These jobs are out of the ordinary for this program, since they involve performing drag shows while customers dine.

8 p.m. on _ WLS The Family Claire (Joan Allen) reacts in a very telling way upon seeing Ben aka Adam’s (Liam James) former dwelling firsthand in the drama’s season finale, “What Took So Long.” Ben himself is devastated by a phone call. Nina’s (Margot Bingham) search nears its ends, making Jane (Zoe Perry) panicky. Hank (Andrew McCarthy) reaches the tipping point with the forces that have been driving him. Alison Pill, Rupert Graves and Zach Gilford also star.

8 p.m. on + WTTW Masterpiece Mystery!

Back in Sweden after his South African sojourn, Wallander (Kenneth Branagh) worries about his failing memory as he seeks a murder victim’s daughter in “Wallander, the Final Season: A Lesson in Love,” the second of the series’ three
