Parking rules changing in Geneva New overtime parking fines kick in after two warnings

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – For years, Geneva’s overtime parking enforcement in the downtown was based on a certain structure.

The first offense was a warning; the second and third offenses were $2 tickets; the fourth through ninth offenses were $10 tickets; the 10th through 14th offenses were $15 tickets; and 15 or more tickets were $25, police said.

The goal was to give overtime parkers a little nudge – not enough to discourage them from spending money downtown, but enough for them to notice when they’ve parked for five hours in a three-hour spot, officials said.

Mike Simon, owner of The Little Traveler in Geneva, told aldermen that a shopper’s last impression of Geneva should be as important as their first impression – and it should not end with a high-priced parking ticket.

“Typically, what I get from customers, is they say, ‘Gosh, I didn’t know I was going to stay that long. If I get a ticket, what should I do?’ My response: ‘If you get a ticket, we’ll pay for it,’” Simon had said.

When told the ticket would be $2 or $5, they would simply laugh and continue shopping, Simon had said.

After discussions over several meetings, Geneva aldermen finally agreed on some new overtime parking rules at the City Council meeting June 20.

The new fines for overtime parking are now two warning tickets before the third ticket costs $5; tickets four and five will cost $10; tickets six through 10 will cost $20; tickets 11 through 15 will cost $25; and 16 tickets and above will be $40.

Second Ward Alderman Jim Radecki said he was not in favor of a second warning ticket.

“I am not in favor of giving warnings,” Radecki said. “One is a warning; two is a free pass.”

Other parking fines that were increased were for improper parking and prohibited parking, both going to $25 from $10. Snow emergency parking at $35; snow bans on secondary streets at $30; and special parking privilege, $250, each remained unchanged, officials said.

The new fine structure went into effect at the end of the Swedish Days festivities on June 26, officials said.

A factor contributing to the parking

Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com

The city of Geneva recently increased its parking fines. Tickets for prohibited overtime parking now can cost up to $40. fine changes – especially for overtime parking – came about after Geneva’s parking fines were compared with those of other communities, officials said.

Most other municipalities, including St. Charles, charge $25 for overtime parking, according to a city survey of other suburbs.

The new parking fine ordinance strives to maintain a business-friendly attitude toward shoppers and downtown visitors, while also bringing Geneva more in line with the surrounding area, officials said.

St. Charles Mayor Ray Rogina said he has never heard complaints from anyone about the $25 cost of overtime parking tickets.

“I’ve had no complaints at all from any business that suggests they are in any way concerned about ... parking fines,” Rogina said. “I’ve heard nothing from anyone – citizen or business – about our parking rules.”

The parking fine issue in Geneva came up during budget discussions in April. A majority of aldermen did not want to impose a 2 percent restaurant tax – which represented $80,000 in the budget – advocating for increased parking fines instead.

Geneva Mayor Kevin Burns had argued against changing the parking fines,

calling the effort to solve city’s downtown parking problems a “Rubik’s Cube.”

“In the final analysis, I believe when the City Council considers amending parking fines and the fee structure, we should always take into consideration – very seriously – the thoughts and perspective of business owners who will be affected,” Burns said. “A successful downtown is a very delicate organism, and we must always be careful in tinkering with it.”

Local business owner Joe Stanton said that when he owned a restaurant where Old Towne Pub is now – at 201 W. State St. in Geneva – years ago, he received many overtime parking tickets.

“If the lot was filled, you’d park on the street,” Stanton said. “And if you could not get out there to move, you’d get a lot of tickets. It’s the cost of doing business.”

Geneva Chamber of Commerce President Jean Gaines said downtown parking is a problem that cannot be solved – a sentiment Stanton shares.

“How far do employees have to park out?” Stanton said. “It’s one of those problems that really has no solution. The city [parking] lots help quite a bit; the parking deck helps quite a bit. Parking is always going to be a premium in Geneva, and that is a good thing. A problem would be if we had a lot of empty spots.”

Geneva aldermen postpone TIF votes Council seeks to give District 304 officials more time to negotiate

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Geneva aldermen voted June 27 to postpone their recommendations both for an intergovernmental agreement with Geneva School District 304 and for creating a third tax increment finance district, pushing the entire issue to the July 18 Committee of the Whole meeting.

After more than an hour of discussion with school officials, aldermen were persuaded to hold off on their votes until the school board can meet and offer a counter-proposal on the intergovernmental agreement.

In their proposed intergovernmental agreement, city officials offered to reduce the value of the TIF by 29.37 percent, taking out Covenant Retirement Communities Geneva Place, 27 N. Bennett St., and Geneva on the Dam, 1 North River Lane, parcels with an equalized assessed value of about $2 million.

But school officials were seeking

49 percent of properties to be removed from the TIF, or $3.5 million of the TIF’s total value of about $7 million, officials said.

The proposed TIF 3 is a 98-acre parcel that covers both sides of the Fox River and includes the shuttered Mill Race Inn on East State Street and Geneva Bottling Works on North River Lane, officials said.

A TIF is a development tool that sets aside new tax revenue generated from growth to pay for public improvements instead of it going to local taxing bodies. A TIF can last up to 23 years.

Calling the two parcels “surplus property,” Economic Development Director Cathleen Tymoszenko said it would mean additional tax revenue would be dispersed to the school district and other taxing bodies, rather than be directed to the TIF. In that case, it could not be used for improvements as an incentive for redevelopment, she said.

Tymoszenko said staff members were trying to understand why the school district wanted $3.5 million in EAV removed from the TIF. “I do believe the 29 percent is a good number to respond to the issues that have been brought forward by the school district … and the proposed draft IGA seems to be equitable with

respect to those analyses,” Tymoszenko said. “For the taxable year the TIF study is based on in 2014 … the TIF [equalized assessed value] represented .56 percent of the school district’s total EAV.” School board member David Lamb said property taxes provide 90 percent of the district’s funding, and having a reduction caused by the TIF would hurt the district financially.

“The objective of the TIF … is to reinvest and redevelopment of the community,” Lamb said. “Our portfolio is properties. When you take those properties and carve them out, that impacts our funding. How can we accomplish both our objectives?”

In terms of investment, Lamb said the TIF freezes assessments for 23 years. Comparing that to a private investment, Lamb called it “a very risky proposition.”

“The district wants and needs cashflow every year,” Lamb said. “And you’re telling us, ‘You’ll get it in 23 years … but we don’t know the outcome.’ Well that’s an unsuitable investment. … ‘Wait 23 years, we could get a huge payoff.’ But when the client needs ongoing cash flow to meet their needs, it just doesn’t match. ... We are scraping for every nickel.”

Lamb pointed to viable businesses

located within the TIF, such as the Buttermilk restaurant, as a reason why it would not need a TIF to spur further development.

But 1st Ward Alderman Mike Bruno countered that the city wanted to create a TIF district on property, not on businesses.

“Any government body should not be looking for short-term returns. We should be looking for our children, and children’s children’s return – so 23 years, I think, in the scope of what a city needs to plan for, [it] is not unrealistic,” Bruno said.

Fifth Ward Alderman Tom Simonian said all the money city and school officials were talking about was all coming from the same place – taxpayers.

“What’s the return on the taxpayers’ dollar?” Simonian said “I’m the one who always says run government like a business. I also know government is a long tail. Twenty-three years is really not as long as you might think.

At the end of the day, I’d like to see this all work and everybody be happy. But it has to work for both of us.”

School officials said they would set a meeting date to discuss the intergovernmental agreement and have an counter-offer before aldermen meet July 18.

“Winning Geneva’s Got Talent was such a huge accomplishment for these dancers and the studio,” Quinn stated in the news release. “Being able to showcase their talent and what we do at Dance Dynamics was both a great experience and a great win. … I am so proud of these dancers and of how incredibly they represented Dance Dynamics. These girls have been working hard on this dance all year and really proved to everyone what you can accomplish with discipline, dedication

and hard work.”

Dance Dynamics is in the Mill Creek subdivision in Blackberry Township, near Geneva. Geneva’s Got Talent 2016 started with 31 acts auditioning on May 7, the release stated.

Dance Dynamics was among the 16 semi-finalists that were chosen to perform June 22 during Swedish Days.

Others were Jessica Blakely, Kaidyn King, Grace Lagattolla, Grace Lenaghan, Matt Skirmont, Addelyn McDonald, Kiley Murray, Katie O’Brien, Aida Skaraite, Meagan Clemens, Ryan

Cichon, Maya Hawkins, Fire the Canon, LiveWire and Batavia Academy of Dance.

But because of inclement weather, the semi-finals were canceled and all 16 performers moved on to the finals. Votes of the three judges – Mike Jacoby, Bryan Skreens and Dan Huber – were combined with Facebook votes to determine the winner, the release stated.

Geneva Mayor Kevin Burns served as the emcee.

“This is a great event that brings

the community and people of all ages together for free summer fun,” Geneva Park District spokeswoman Traci Wicks stated in the release. “The array of talent each year is just phenomenal.

We look forward to seeing even more talent audition for the 2017 Geneva’s Got Talent competition next May.” The Geneva’s Got Talent event is a collaboration between the park district and the Geneva Chamber of Commerce. The competition was part of the 2016 Swedish Days Festival, which was supported by Northwestern Medicine.

GENEVA – The sun made its way through cloudy skies June 26, just in time for the annual Swedish Days Grand Parade in downtown Geneva.

More than 100 units of floats, bands and entertainers lined the streets near Geneva High School minutes before the parade’s 1 p.m. step-off. Kiwanis Club of Geneva members were ready to get marching as Jesse White Tumblers and members of the Geneva High School Dance Team practiced their routines.

Keith Eakins of the Kiwanis Club said the club participated in the parade for the first time last year to celebrate its 100th anniversary and decided to join in the fun again this year.

“There’s a lot of people and a lot of community involvement,” Eakins said of the parade.

The club made a float to echo its “Serving the Children of the World” motto. There were small buildings constructed atop the float to represent the different organizations that the club supports in the local community.

“We had volunteers working on the float for two to three weeks,” Eakins

enth year coaching.

“The parade is important because it’s our first appearance for the new season,” Jungers said. “It’s the community’s first look at what our team will look like in the upcoming school year.”

The varsity and junior varsity teams performed about eight times during the parade, Jungers said.

Margaret Baurer of Geneva has taken her daughters to the parade since they were babies.

“It’s been about 15 years,” Baurer said of the family’s parade tradition.

“It’s such a big community function, and it’s great to see all the various organizations in the Kane County area.”

The Kreczmer family of St. Charles attended the parade for the first time this year. Heather Kreczmer’s 10-yearold son, Lucas Gamble, was marching Jeff Krage - For Shaw Media with Sounds Like Music of Geneva.

Nine lives We get a lot of strange calls at the Kane County Chronicle. So much so that I may be a bit jaded, and nothing really surprises me anymore.

We got a call this month from Sugar Grove resident Brian Adams that he had kittens coming out of a friend’s car that was parked in his driveway. I was already in Elburn, wrapping up a business shoot at Paisano’s, when my editor called me with the story.

When I arrived at the Adams’ home, I could hear a kitten meowing very loudly while I was still in my car.

I was quickly directed to the garage, where Brian’s children, Mara and Calvin, were taking turns holding a tiny calico kitten. I also noticed the mother cat’s paws sticking out of the front bumper of the car/her home as she rested in that area, with tuna fish on a plate on the driveway to try to lure her out.

I have a soft spot for animals, especially calico cats.

I’ve lived with two so far in my life. So far.

NEWS BRIEF

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com GENEVA – For their second annual Service Saturday, parishioners from St. Peter Catholic Church in Geneva joined together at the church for a group photo and a blessing, then dispersed to serve at various locations throughout the community, a news release stated.

This year, some volunteers went to Lazarus House, a homeless shelter in St. Charles, to help with deep cleaning, the release stated.

“We are sincerely grateful to all of you for your kindness and caring hearts for our neighbors who are fac-

ing crisis in their lives,” Donna Bauer, a volunteer coordinator for Lazarus House, stated in the release. “Your help and support not only enhanced their living areas, but by being here and offering your support, you encourage them and give them hope as they work toward a new and brighter future.”

Other volunteers went to BRIA Health Services in Geneva and Elderday Center in Batavia to do yard work and cleaning, and another group went to the Geneva Public Library to put together goodie bags for new card members and to catalog various media, according to the release.

Also, a group of volunteers visited the homes of older parishioners to

help with projects inside and outside of their homes. The rest stayed on site at St. Peter to help with sorting for the upcoming Barn Sale in September, as well as beautifying the grounds and helping out in the school, the release stated.

“The family of God is big, and we need each other,” Service Saturday coordinator Rama Canney stated in the release. “Our Catholic faith teaches us to pray, love and serve if we are to be followers of Christ. God’s generosity is never outdone though – as we serve, the love of those we are serving beams right back at us. We are blessed to have many great people in our parish and our Tri-City community.”

IS YOUR CENTRAL VISION BLURRY OR CROOKED?

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

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

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

Noon Kiwanis Foundation accepting grant applications

Exquisite and pink – we’re talking spiders It’s not often that you hear the words exquisite, pink and camouflage come together in a sentence. It’s rarer when “spider” is added to the narrative.

But that’s exactly what happened during a recent walk at Fermilab when our group, gathered to learn about local bees, encountered a member of Thomisidae, the crab spider.

The day was warm but breezy, which made hunting for our target species a little tricky. They were out there, for sure, but the gentle winds kept them from flying as freely as I’m sure they would have preferred.

(Bonus: The breeze also kept mosquitoes at bay.)

What was not ideal for Hymenopterans and Dipterans, however, proved to be near perfect for spiders in general, and crab spiders specifically.

With flight somewhat difficult, a lot of the winged insects were staying low near the plants. And while the plants held what the fliers were looking for – namely pollen and nectar – they also held spiders.

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto Lots of spiders spin webs in order to capture prey, and these structures – active as well as abandoned – were visible between the stems of many plants. They held the remnants of meals past and stood as a great testament to just how many spiders a prairie can support.

I was just starting to think about how spider species progress through the summer, from tiny ones in early spring to large ones in late summer and early fall, when someone in our group spotted the first crab.

She was so well camouflaged it was hard to pick her out at first. She was ensconced in the broad flower of a cow parsnip, and the pink zig-zag pattern on her abdomen matched the irregular edges of the petals almost exactly.

Crab spiders earn their name for their long, strong front legs, which are used to grasp prey as well as for the way they scuttle sideways on their short hind legs. This individual’s camouflage helped it avoid detection by both predators and prey, but not a group of curious naturalists.

Boy, did she look crabby – in a good way. These spiders are named for the way their first two pairs of legs are elongated and reaching forward, much like that of a tasty sea crustacean.

(Fun fact: If the second pair of legs is longer than the first, the crab spider is a running crab, family Philodromidae.

These guys don’t hang out on flowers but are occasionally found in houses and are sometimes mistaken for brown recluse spiders.)

True to her type, this spider’s front legs extended out a long ways from her body. Strong claws at the end of these legs are ideally adapted to their main function, which is grabbing prey. Rather than spinning a web, crab spiders lie in wait and ambush unsuspecting insects.

When disturbed, crab spiders share another trait with their ocean-dwelling namesakes: They scuttle sideways.

That’s exactly what “our” spider did. As we, one by one, visited the flower on which she perched, her posture changed ever so slightly from offensive to defensive. Crab spiders, though predators, also are prey for a number of other animals, including wasps, birds and other spiders. As we moved one way and then another to ooh, aah and take pictures, Ms. Spider decided she’d had enough. In a side-

ward flash, she was gone.

Thanks to the Fermilab prairie’s bountiful diversity, though, we didn’t have to look far to find another parsnip umbel, and another crab spider.

She was nearly identical to the first, and I wish I could say exactly what species they were. But proper identification requires a good look at eye arrangement as well as familiarity with the crab spider species in our area. And I had neither.

So, for now anyway, I won’t know whether the individuals we saw that day are one of the types that can change color to match their background – an amazing feat no matter what but especially for a creature encased in an exoskeleton. I also don’t know for sure whether the males of this species consume nectar, which is another cool crab spider behavior arachnologists have discovered.

But you know what? It’s all good.

Our time on the prairie that day was glorious. And the chance to see a pink spider, exquisitely camouflaged, is reward in itself.

“Paisano” in Italian means friend, and Dick and Annette Theobald knew when they opened their restaurant they wanted to be friends with the entire community, so they named their restaurant Paisano’s Pizza & Grill.

They opened their doors in Elburn in 2003 after spending nearly a year renovating the building. At Paisano’s, they not only specialize in homemade and made-to-order pizza but also calzones, pasta, Italian sandwiches, burgers and more.

“We are a carryout and delivery establishment only,” Annette Theobald said. “After 10 years here, we learned that people wanted a place where folks could sit down and enjoy our food with a cold beverage, so we opened Eddie Gaedel Pub and Grill down the street in 2013.”

Patrons can order off the menu at Eddie Gaedel’s or order Paisano’s pizza and have it delivered to the restaurant.

Since business has been booming over the past several years, the Theobalds have decided to add a second Paisano’s Pizza & Grill location in Sugar Grove at 98 Main St., in the former Sugar Grove Cleaners building. This location also will be carryout and delivery-only like the Elburn location.

The Sugar Grove location will allow Paisano’s to deliver to Big Rock, Sugar Grove, Yorkville and parts of Aurora.

“As much as we would like to have another sit-down location, many restaurant government regulations do not make it feasible for us to do it at this time,” Theobald said.

Annette and her husband, Dick, wear many hats and put in a lot of hours to run the restaurants, but they

By CLAIRE JACOBI cjacobi@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Before officially “jetting” off to New York, former Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte stopped by Christ Community Church for a series of three services on June 25 and 26.

In an interview conducted by Executive Pastor Eric Rojas, Forte covered eight seasons with the Bears, his collegiate career at Tulane University, his friendship with Brandon Marshall and his faith in Christianity.

Forte was drafted by the Bears in the second round of the 2008 NFL draft. He played with the Bears through the 2015 season and in March was traded to the New York Jets.

Forte has 8,602 career rushing yards and 2,035 career rush attempts; both rank second in Bears franchise history behind Walter Payton.

Born and raised in Louisiana, Forte decided to attend

Claire Jacobi - cjacobi@shawmedia.com

Former Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte (right) speaks with Christ Community Church Executive Pastor Eric Rojas as part of a special event June 25 and 26. Forte spent his first eight NFL seasons with the Bears and now is a member of the New York Jets.

Tulane in New Orleans, the college where his father played football. But it was more than just his father who influenced his decision.

“God answers prayers,” Forte said. “Before going into my senior year, I would pray at night and I would say, ‘Well,

God.’ I would pray that I would get a scholarship, you know, first and foremost, but that I would also make the right decision, and so it kind of made it easy on me. It only gave me one choice basically.”

The idea of prayer and looking to God sprouted from

a strong family background.

Forte’s grandfather was a pastor, and his parents attended two different churches. By the age of 18, he decided he wanted his own relationship with Christ.

That relationship has only grown, and he shared many

personal stories to a packed house of Christ Community members and fans of the running back.

As he heads to New York, Forte plans to keep another relationship going, this one with Jets wide receiver and former Bear Brandon Marshall, who also is a Christian.

“I constantly hold him accountable, and same thing with me,” Forte said. “If I see him say something or do something, I’m like, ‘That’s out of character of you, Brandon,’ and you know we talk about it in private and things get handled that way like men, so that’s the best kind of relationship that you can have and ask for.”

Rojas’ final question of the evening was about Forte’s touchdown “routine.” Unlike some players in the NFL, Forte does not have a dance but instead flexes his biceps and points up, which he says means, “Thank you, God. I get my strength from you.”

“I didn’t get to the end zone by myself,” Forte said.

“There’s 10 other guys out there blocking, and you know, I didn’t get to the NFL by myself. It was God’s path for me.”

North Aurora honors former village president with biking proclamation

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com Mark Ruby, a former village president of North Aurora, used to ride his bike everywhere, his son Paul Ruby said.

Paul Ruby, who is president of Shodeen Hospitality at the Herrington Inn & Spa in Geneva, said his dad was a teacher at Jefferson Junior High in Aurora and at West Aurora High School.

“He would ride [a bike] to school every morning – even if the weather was bad,” Paul Ruby said.

Mark Ruby’s devotion to bike riding prompted North Aurora Village President Dale Berman to honor him with a proclamation declaring July as Bicycling in North Aurora Month.

OAK CREST DeKalb Area Retirement Center www.oakcrestdekalb.org

“Be careful what you ask for…”

There I was, living in my own home in Creston, IL and managing just fine. I had my good friends, my loving family and a home I enjoyed. Then it happened. One day you wake up and you think to yourself, “Hey. I’m not as young as I used to be.”

It kind of sneaks up on you and before you know it you start considering what the options might be as you face those big Charlotte Berg retirement decisions. My children live out of state and I knew that I wanted to stay near my friends, church and my community activities so my search began. I already had some dear friends living at Oak Crest and after visiting decided that the on-site availability of health care, location and surroundings were the perfect fit for me. Now, I was faced with the dilemma of making the decision to actually move.

So, I called up Oak Crest with some pretty specific requests. I wanted an apartment on third floor, looking north, near my cousin. Feeling pretty confident that my requests would not be easily filled, I sat back and relaxed. Imagine my surprise when mere weeks later I received a call telling me that my every wish was granted. I moved in and have to tell you I couldn’t be happier. I enjoy my apartment; I love my neighbors and I can participate in any number of events and activities throughout the day. As my Oak Crest neighbors and I say, “Be careful what you wish for at Oak Crest, because they just might come true.”

Byrd Ponds brings nature to homeowners’ backyards

By BEN DRAPER bdraper@shawmedia.com GENEVA – A single mother has built a business around her passion for ponds and nature.

Deborah Byrd of Geneva wants to help homeowners invite nature to their backyards.

“I wanted a pond for myself. I got online. I checked out books at the library and basically taught myself. In 2001, my kids bought me a brand-new shovel for Mother’s Day, and that was the starting point. They were like, ‘OK, mom, let’s start digging,’” she said.

Byrd has always had a passion for gardening, crediting her grandmother.

After building her pond, word of mouth spread and a business was born.

“People would come over to my house and be like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I’d love to have one of these,’ she said. “Being the single mother of four, this was something I wanted to do – a passion – and it’s turned into a nice business.”

Byrd said backyard ponds can fit almost any budget. Smaller ponds that are contained in a large pot can be installed for as little as $250, while large installations can reach in excess of $10,000

to $15,000 and include features such as landscaping and retention walls. “[Pot pond prices] depend on the size of the pot you buy – that’s the most expensive part,” she said. “It’s really what the homeowner wants. I can work within a budget and go from there.”

Installation varies on the size of the pond and depth, but typically the process takes Byrd under a week.

Planning can take up to a month and includes sitting down with the client and working out what exactly he or she wants in the backyard.

“If they know exactly what they want, we can get going right away,” she said.

For a homeowner who doesn’t know where to start, Byrd suggests searching the internet for pond images.

“They give me images and ideas that they like, and I expand on it using a computer program that I work with,” she said. “I’ve even drawn things out by hand for people.”

For maintenance, ponds need a thorough spring cleaning in addition to a weekly and monthly skimmer and filter pad cleaning.

Hesed House in Aurora have stopped, Executive Director Ryan Dowd said, so when people being evicted call for help, he tells them, “When you do get evicted, we’ll see you then. We’ll save a bed for you.”

“In the past, whereas we would try to prevent people from ever becoming homeless, we don’t have the ability to do that,” Dowd said. “We just simply wait for them to become homeless. So entire families – tons of individuals – are coming to us who never ever never needed to see the shelter.”

Dowd said if the crisis continues in 2017, he has no idea what he will tell families in crisis other than referring them to parks and areas under bridg-

Caroline Bailey, director of psychiatric emergency and crisis residential services for the Ecker Center for Mental Health, said the agency is owed more than $800,000 in state grants. Ecker has had to eliminate more than 18 positions and lay off a full-time psychiatrist.

“Psychiatric services have been extremely impacted,” Bailey said. “We have received only 30 percent of what it costs to provide adequate services. ...

We will continue to try to do our best until there is a solution.”

opment, said her agency was awarded $1.4 million in grants last year, but it was not paid because there is no state budget. The state owes AID nearly $3 million, she said.

“How are we making it? It’s very tough,” O’Shea said. “The hardest impact has been on our staff. Our staff has not had raises in years; there is no retirement plan left. Paid time off is greatly diminished, but our staff come here because it’s the right thing to do.”

Mutual Ground Clinical Director Alisa Neary said the agency would be hard-pressed to figure out what services to cut for victims of domestic violence or sexual assault if that funding is lost. Thirty percent of its budget comes from the state.

“Would we not provide shelter for victims seeking safety? … Or would we reduce services for victims of sexual assault? Neary said. “We stand together asking for a responsible budget for fiscal year 2017 so that we can keep our doors open.”

AURORA – As Illinois’ budget impasse heads into a second year, local social service agencies described dire circumstances where staff and services have been continually reduced or stopped completely.

Illinois’ fiscal year begins July 1. It did not have a budget in place for July 1, 2015, and – so far – it does not have a budget for July 1, 2016. Gov. Bruce Rauner, a Republican, and the Democratic-controlled General Assembly remain deadlocked.

In a June 22 news conference hosted by the League of Women Voters of Central Kane County and the League of Women Voters of the Elgin Area at the headquarters of the Association for Individual Development in Aurora, representatives of various social service agencies spoke about how the budget impasse was affecting their ability to serve the community.

The league hosted a similar news conference seven months ago.

The agencies’ representatives said Rauner should sign Senate Bill 2038, which would restore about 42 percent of funding to social service agencies.

Local Democrats call for Rauner to sign bill Lawmakers advocate for funding for social service agencies

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com AURORA – Two Kane County Democratic lawmakers called for the governor to sign a spending plan for social service agencies hit hard by the lack of a state budget.

State Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, D-Aurora, and state Sen. Linda Holmes, D-Aurora, attended a June 22 news conference where representatives of various social service agencies spoke about how the budget impasse was affecting their ability to provide services.

Both advocated for Gov. Bruce Rauner to sign Senate Bill 2038, legislation that would provide some funding for these and other social service agencies.

Continued from page 28 him to stop making up excuses for why he’s not signing this bill that helps so many people in our community. The bottom line is, we are in a society that should be of compassionate people and not a society of greed where money trumps all.”

Holmes said taking all human compassion out of the equation “the state should run like a business – but a business with a heart. We do have obligations. We do need to take care of people who need to be taken care of.”

Holmes said when the state does not cover services for people with mental illness, homeless shelters are overwhelmed. She said when the state does not cover services for battered women’s shelters, women are at risk for injury or death if they don’t have a safe place to go once they leave their abuser.

“This political game of holding people hostage has gone on long enough,” Holmes said. “These are people’s lives.

This is not a game.”

The news conference was hosted by the League of Women Voters of Central Kane County and the League of Women Voters Elgin Area at the headquarters of the Association for Individual Development in Aurora.

The governor’s press secretary Catherine Kelly wrote in an email response that as it is drafted now, “SB 2038 will exacerbate our current budget crisis because it doesn’t include funding for critical government services to our prisons, mental health facilities, child care, and summer feed programs, among many other things.”

“All of these services are addressed in the GOP Leaders’ stopgap proposal [House Bill 6585 and Senate Bill 3435].

If Sen. Holmes and Rep. Kifowit truly wanted to take care of people, they would be pushing their Democratic leaders to be in Springfield to vote on this bill that would provide relief in these areas,” the response stated.

Both Holmes and Kifowit refuted the response.

“The purpose of SB 2038 is to fund the critical needs of our social service network, which would provide the needed emergency funding from last fiscal year directly to the organizations,” Kifowit wrote in an email response.

“This political game of holding people hostage has gone on long enough. These are people’s lives. This is not a game.”

Linda Holmes State Senator, D-Aurora Rauner’s administration would shortchange social service agencies by siphoning off their funding and using it for governmental functions, Kifowit wrote.

“The purpose of the Commitment to Human Services Fund is to support human service providers – not government operations, travel reimbursements and other spending, which should be utilizing general revenue funds,” Kifowit wrote. “SB 2038 does not include these extra expenses and is a true bill that provides emergency funding for our human services.”

Kifowit and Holmes both wrote that the GOP stopgap proposal does not fund needed services.

Kifowit wrote that the stopgap proposal eliminates services for autism, psychological services, homeless prevention services for families and youth, programs for at-risk youth, respite care

“I would suggest the [governor] spend time working on a responsible, full-year budget and sign SB 2038,” Kifowit wrote. “Actions speak louder than his empty words.”

Holmes wrote that she voted on necessary measures for the state’s needs and they are sitting on Rauner’s desk.

“The governor needs to understand how government works,” Holmes’ email stated. “There are two chambers. It takes 60 votes in the House and 30 in the Senate to pass a bill. Budget bills are typically negotiated in order to achieve those numbers.”

Holmes wrote that Rauner should “be an active part of the negotiations” to achieve passage of a bill.

“He has wasted several months attaching agenda items that result in little or no cost savings to the budget. In other words, he was tying nonbudget items to the budget,” Holmes’ email stated.

“He was also touring the state and holding press conferences bashing rank-and-file Democrats, as well as the Speaker [Mike Madigan] and President [John Cullerton], while we had working groups trying to negotiate a budget,” Holmes’ email stated. “That has proven very unproductive and resulted in an unprecedented Illinois budget impasse.”

BY TERRY AND KIM KOVEL Every child has to learn the alphabet before learning to read, so some toys for those under ďŹ ve years old have been “teaching toys.â€? Blocks were the ďŹ rst. The oldest mention of alphabet blocks was in 1693 in England. But blocks with letters and pictures were not available for most families until 1820 when large numbers of sets were made in a factory. Well-to-do young girls educated in the 18th century learned the alphabet while sewing samplers. They had to be able to stitch identiďŹ cation on all the family linens when they married. Most toys were made to teach religion, like a carved wooden Noah’s ark, or to teach a skill like cooking using a toy stove, pots and pans. Toy makers created a few teaching toys, cards with letters, and cloth alphabet books. A rare, famous teaching toy is the “Alphabet Manâ€? or “Yankee Schoolmaster.â€?

The 10-inch-tall iron ďŹ gure of a man had an arm that moved when a lever was pushed. The man blinked his eyes, raised his left arm and pointed to a hole high on his chest. A letter appeared and the student had to name it. The man is dressed like a schoolmaster and looks like a stern teacher.

No one knows who made this complicated toy that was patented in 1884. Or why his right arm is held behind his back and his index ďŹ nger is pointing to the side. Several of the men have sold in the past ten years. In March 2016, Bertoia Auctions in N.J., sold the toy with some missing paint for $23,600. *** Q:What is Vitrock Depression glass?

A: Vitrock is an opaque glass with ďŹ red-on colors made by Hocking Glass Co. from 1934 to 1937. “Flower Rimâ€? and “Lake Comoâ€? are Vitrock patterns. “Flower Rimâ€? dishes were made in white and in white with ďŹ red-on colors, usually solid red or green, and have raised owers on the rim. “Lake Comoâ€? dishes were made with a center scene of a lake and a ower border, usually in blue and white, though sugar and creamers were also made in red and white.

Vitrock kitchenware, including mixing bowls, measuring cups and reamers, also were made. *** Q: I have my mother’s antique satin wedding dress from 1931. It’s in perfect condition. I would like to know if it’s worth anything or if anyone would want it.

A: Yes, there is interest in old wedding dresses and gowns. You could donate it to a local historical museum or an organization that will resell it for a charitable cause. You could sell it to a vintage clothing store. Or it could be turned into something else. Old wedding dresses can be used to make christening gowns or bride or princess outďŹ ts for small children who like to play dress-up. The fabric can be repurposed to make pillows or enclosed in a locket, frame or Christmas ornament. It also can be used to make scarves, decorate baby blankets, bassinet skirts or wedding or baby photograph albums. *** Q: My box has a oral design. It is stamped Pyro-Art Wood on the bottom. It is 14 1/2 by 7 1/2 inches and has a hinged lid. I would like to know if it has any value.

A: Pyrography is the art of putting a design on wood by burning or scorching it with a hot instrument. The art dates back to the 1400s, but it didn’t become popular in the United States until the late 1800s. By 1890, “burnt woodâ€? articles could be seen in magazines, and by 1900, companies were advertising trays, bowls, boxes, plaques, frames, steins, tie racks, small tables and other articles, many with designs already stamped on them, ready for burning. Some pieces were further enhanced with carving and/ or painting. Kits containing the necessary tools for burning, carving and painting were also available for the home decorator. The most popular period was 1890 to 1915. Your box probably is a glove or sewing box and is worth about $75. *** Q: I bought a set made up of an angular pitcher, two ared cups and a tray at a thrift store.

It’s silver and the cups are gold inside. One piece is stamped “4Kommet� on the bottom and the other has “Kommet.� The pot is about six inches high, the cups are two and a half by two inches, and the tray is seven inches in diameter. Do you know when and where it was made and what it was used for?

A: The mark on your pitcher and cups is Russian and actually reads “I-OMMET,â€? written in English as Hommet or Jummet. The I-O indicates “jeweler,â€? and the ďŹ rst “Mâ€? stands for Mstera, a city about 185 miles east of Moscow that has been a center for Russian icon painting and other arts and crafts. “METâ€? indicates that it is a nonprecious metal or alloy, probably of copper and

Jewelry and metal tableware items also are made there, especially tourist items like glass holders, salt cellars and jiggers, sold as souvenirs from the U.S.S.R. after World War II.

It’s worth less than $100. *** Tip: To remove white rings-usually made by damp glasses or hot cups of coffeefrom wooden tabletops, rub the spot with a mixture of mayonnaise and toothpaste.

on the extended care wait list.

Although some board members expressed concern over hiring a kindergarten teacher prematurely because enrollment numbers possibly could change and decrease over the summer, ultimately the motion passed unanimously.

“It’s not an exact science,” board member Peter Lopatin said. “But it’s what’s best.”

The board also was presented with Kaneland 2020, a new strategic plan to be implemented throughout the district. Kaneland 2020 derives from the mission to make students college, career and community ready, while asking the important question – “What does that mean?”

The new strategic plan is meant to ensure that students are on the path they need to be for the future they want, while giving students more independence to create their future and make more decisions on their own about their learning environment and style, according to the presentation. “[Kaneland 2020] shows what a Kaneland graduate will look like by 2020,” Superintendent Todd Leden said.

The motion to implement Kaneland 2020 passed unanimously.

Waubonsee college recognizes support staff for excellence

SUGAR GROVE – Waubonsee Community College recently recognized three honorees through its first Support Staff Awards for Excellence program. Faustina Sepulveda-De Patino, David Beer and Kendall Vance all received awards during a campus-wide ceremony, according to a news release.

The college received more than 60 nominations. De Patino, a custodian, received the Excellence in Service and Quality Award because she often does extra work. Beer, a career and technical education analyst, was honored with the Excellence in Diversity and Equity Award because he is committed to diversity, equity and inclusiveness across the college.

Vance, a resource-sharing specialist, was nominated for his tireless efforts to regularly implement creative solutions for workflow, the release stated.

All three winners received a framed certificate, recognition from college board members, lunch with WCC President Christine Sobek and one day paid vacation to be used within one year of the award, according to the release.

Stockholm’s seasonal brews enhance summer fare

By Diane Krieger Spivak Summer calls for a lighter wardrobe AND a lighter beer.

Which is why Stockholm’s in Geneva, is brewing up some special seasonal brews to go with its summer salads and light summer sandwiches.

Stockholm’s always tries to have an appropriate seasonal beer on tap. During the fall months, Oktoberfest favorites are the rule. Winter calls for a darker, richer beer.

“For summer this year we are brewing our Stockholm’s Berliner Weisse,” owner Michael Olesen said. This German wheat beer is especially popular around Berlin and dates back to the 1500s.

“It is a very old style of beer,” Olesen said. “It is light, easy drinking, and has some intentional sour notes in the lingering finish.”

The sugar source for Berliner Weisse is two-row barley malt and wheat malt.

Olesen adds imported German spalt hops and brewer’s yeast. The wheat provides a smooth, creamy texture, and lactobacillus in the brewer’s yeast provides sour tangy notes. The lingering hop bitterness comes from the spalt hops.

“It’s a wonderful light beer that goes very well with a salad or a light sandwich,” Olesen said. “Its an ideal summer beer.”

The beer has been around since the 16th Century. When Napoleon’s troops marched through Germany on their way to Russia in 1809, they referred to it as the Champagne of the North.

“It’s very, very carbonated, light and refreshing, but here comes the fun part with this beer,” Olesen said. “In Germany they’ll mix it with fresh fruit juices — raspberry, blueberry, peach, apricot and strawberry juice — which allows you to have so many more flavor combinations.”

Stockholm’s will introduce its Berliner Weiss in July.

“We will have these different fruit juices to mix it with,” Olesen said. “Our intent is that you can enjoy a wonderful light, refreshing beer with your favorite fruit flavors to complement our various summer salads or a light sandwich out on our patio, or if it’s hot, in the air conditioning inside.”

Berliner Weiss will be available until it’s all gone, which Olesen estimated should be the middle or end of August.

In addition to seasonal beers Stockholm’s also has a full range of beers always on tap, including German style pilsner, Belgian style ales, wheat beers, English ales, porter and amber ales and more.

“We have the full spectrum for everyone’s enjoyment,” Olesen said.

“The one thing that is different or unique about all of the beers we brew at Stockholm’s is that they’re unfiltered and naturally conditioned,” Olesen said.

“The conditioning of the beer refers to its carbonation. All of our beers are naturally carbonated.”

The brewing process of most other beers allows a lot of carbonation — a byproduct of fermentation — to dissipate out.

“They then have to re-carbonate the beer,” Olesen explained. “We don’t do that. Our beers are naturally carbonated from the yeast itself. We actually have to bleed some of the carbonation off. Otherwise there would be too much pressure in the kegs and they could potentially rupture.”

Another difference is that Stockholm’s does not filter its beers, allowing for a fuller, broader flavor profile to be present.

“This makes our beer an ideal accompaniment to food. There are more than 1,000 flavor compounds that have been identified in beer to date, Olesen explained.

“It is that broad spectrum that makes beer the best accompaniment to food.”

The brewing method Stockholm’s uses is more of an old-world tradition.

“It’s something that you would have found in a small hofbrau or pub prior to the modern production conveniences coming along,” said Olesen. “Our beers are unfiltered and naturally conditioned, the way beer was originally intended, to be served along with your meal, it was your everyday drink for brunch, lunch and dinner.”

The Kaneland School District 302 Board approved its tentative operating expenditures budget for the 201617 fiscal year during its regular meeting June 27. The board also discussed and approved an amended budget for the 2015-16 fiscal year.

With seven yes votes, board members unanimously approved a tentative $58.1 million budget for 2016-17. In addition, they unanimously approved the Fox Valley Career Center’s tentative $2.2 million budget for 2016-17.

Associate Superintendent Julie-Ann Fuchs said the career center has its own board of directors, but Kaneland must oversee its budget.

Fuchs added the school district’s budget may not be completely accurate because the state currently has no budget. The school district must guess what it will end up receiving from the state, she said.

The state still owes the school district about $1.5 million in funding, Fuchs added.

“The state usually pays back,” Fuchs said. “It’s just a matter of when.”

Fuchs said the 2015-16 budget

that was approved in September was amended on June 27 because the school district realized – as the end of the fiscal year approached – that “some changes needed to be made.”

Fuchs said some of the changes included an extra $400,000 needed for teacher salaries, as well as changes to the board’s Federal Insurance Contributions Act and Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund. The motion to approve the budget was passed unanimously, with seven ayes.

The board also discussed the motion to hire another full-time kindergarten teacher for Kaneland John Shields Elementary School in Sugar Grove.

The elementary school has 32 enrolled kindergarten students for the upcoming school year, and the school district has a recommended maximum of 22 students in each class. A new kindergarten teacher would allow for two classes of 16 students each, board members said.

The influx of students has created a waiting list for the extended care kindergarten program as one teacher cannot manage extended care for nearly three dozen students, board members said, adding there are nine students

Deborah Byrd of Byrd Ponds in Geneva specializes in creating a backyard environment for all budgets.

• PONDS

Continued from page 23

SM-CL0350983

“[For spring cleaning] I drain the ponds and power wash them. I refill them and make sure everything is back to normal and working condition,” Byrd said. “I can do the cleaning for [clients], or I can teach them how to do it themselves. I do have clients that have me do monthly maintenance.”

Byrd specializes in helping homeowners create a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat, bringing wildlife to a client’s backyard.

Byrd said one client stopped keeping expensive koi fish in a pond because a heron would often visit and eat them.

The client keeps goldfish instead. The added animals in the habitat help keep mosquitos and bugs away.

“As long as there is running water and there are fish – and even any frogs that come – they eat the bugs, so it’s really beneficial,” she said. “It’s just a whole different aspect to your backyard. You don’t have to have a pond, you can just do plantings and flowers, but a pond really adds quite a bit of en-

joyment.”

Kathy Jaffer of Geneva was one of Byrd’s first clients. Jaffer said it’s an escape from the chaos of life.

“Just being able to come out here and look at the nature ... every day’s a surprise with all the things going on,” Jaffer said. “It’s so relaxing to come out here at night or in the morning with my coffee. This is my happy place.”

“People really do love what you put in their backyard and how much they enjoy it. I love to hear back [from previous clients] and hear their kids have named the fish,” Byrd said.

Jaffer said anyone on the fence about creating a backyard pond should just jump in.

“Just do it. If you love nature and you love gardening – I get in there and move stuff around – it’s totally worth every penny, every minute you spend on maintenance just to come out here and have your own little oasis,” Jaffer said. “It’s soothing. And with everything going on in today’s world, I’ll take soothing every chance I can get.”

OPINIONS BOARD The flag isn’t about you; it’s about us EDITORIAL

Batavia’s June 14 bandshell ceremony commemorated the 100th anniversary of Flag Day’s inception by celebrating hometown resident Bernard J. Cigrand. For decades he barnstormed the country, finally convincing President Woodrow Wilson to recognize the Continental Congress’s 1777 adoption of the Stars and Stripes.

The ceremony’s planners also offered an essay contest asking, “What the American Flag Means to Me.” Wondering how I’d answer that question spurred me to write an essay that won the professional writers category. Because of space, here’s a shorter version: Ask a fifth-grader what the American flag means, and “freedom,” “opportunity,” and “unity” might pop out.

Hang it or fly it on holiday weekends and Flag Day, and you’ll be pegged a patriot, sure’s shootin’.

Wear it on your lapel, and you’re a Republican – or a Democrat running for office.

Receive it folded by men in dress uniform, as my mother-in-law did at her husband’s funeral, and it’s part of a living monument to those you loved who served, and now are gone.

But I confess: As a baby boomer, I was shaped by Vietnam, the war that brought our generation’s respect for the flag into question.

No, I didn’t go to Vietnam, Korea or even Fort Benning. Instead, some 45 years ago, I sat in the living room of a college fraternity house, 40 other brothers crammed in, watching TV’s first reality show. Beside a cylindrical bin loaded with 366 small, blue, hollow tubes, a black-suited man turned the wheel like a veteran

“Ow!” one of our brothers yelled as if shot. The house hippie had won the jackpot in the one lottery we all wanted to lose. He stepped over bodies on his way to the front door.

“Where’re you going?” someone said. “Canada?”

“No. To get wasted.”

Some 50,000 flags honored coffins, widows and families during that war. Those flags I admire most, whether draped over metal caskets lining the belly of a C-141 heavy transport plane or a single pinewood box slid onto the dusty planks of a horsedrawn wagon.

Those flags don’t brag patriotism or crow political party affiliation. Rather, those flags challenge me.

They remind me of the sins our country has visited on the weak and innocent, and they chide me on not doing enough to accomplish deeds that still need to be done.

So, yes, fly it, hang it, salute it, whatever the occasion demands; just don’t take it for granted – or make it about you. Because it’s really all about the U.S. – us.

Residents in St. Charles and Geneva have stepped up to help Grant and Sandie Brady, whose 17-month-old daughter, Vivian, has been diagnosed with leukemia. Many have helped raise money for the Bradys, as they face medical bills and lost income. Fundraisers have amassed more than $30,000 of its $100,000 goal by June 27. We applaud those in the Fox Valley who act to make a positive difference in the lives of others. These generous and caring individuals help make Kane County the great place it is to live, work and play.

“We can’t thank everyone who’s done something for us enough,” St. Charles resident Grant Brady said. “The whole area has been absolutely fantastic.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

Thumbs-down to parking scofflaws. Earlier this month, Geneva aldermen revised the city’s overtime parking rules, settling on issuing two warnings before costs start accumulating. Discussion on the topic picked up after aldermen approved the fiscal 2016-17 budget in April.

Changing the fine structure initially was seen as a way to help balance the city budget. Geneva hasn’t necessarily seen an uptick in those who abuse parking rules. Nonetheless, those who ignore parking restrictions can make it more difficult for others to park, which can have an effect on local commerce. As Mayor Kevin Burns said, “... parking is the greatest Rubik’s Cube in this town ... .” We encourage drivers to park responsibly – in Geneva and anywhere else they travel.

Last night, the six of us organized our trip precisely. We figured out the time we’re leaving and calculated when we should arrive at our hotel. We planned out who is bringing what type of snack because we cannot have multiple people bring potato chips and chocolate chip cookies; we need variety.

We even looked up the stores at Mall of America and highlighted a few that we will make sure to visit. Looking at three levels of stores in one day is simply not possible.

After a night’s worth of planning, my friends and I seem to be good to go on our road trip. We’ve stockpiled a list of songs to play in the car, and I’m currently putting them into a playlist called “Minnesota Road Trip Tunes.” Driving six hours to Minnesota is going to be a long time, so blasting “Don’t Stop Believin’” and “Bohemian Rhapsody” will be needed in order to keep us awake as we drive through cornfields.

Denise Cartina is a student at Waubonsee Community College and graduate of Batavia High School. In addition to writing, she enjoys watching sappy romantic comedies, eating peanut butter and keeping elegance alive. Her column runs every other Thursday in the Kane County Chronicle.

To the editor: The state of Illinois is about to sink into financial oblivion.

Why? Because it is our fault – the good citizens of this state. We have allowed career politicians, some of whom are of questionable motive, to drive us to this point.

Michael Madigan has been speaker of the Illinois House for decades and has had his way for most of that time, especially when we elected the likes of Blagojevich and Quinn. He has driven the bus that has now brought us up to bankruptcy. Of course, he blames Gov. Rauner because the governor refuses to knuckle under to “business as usual.” Rahm Emanuel has

SOUND OFF About those background checks

How ignorant can Congress be in regard to background checks? Congress cannot get E-Verify to function correctly, so illegals can continue to find work. There is not a computer program designed by Congress that can process any firearm application in three days. Maybe a month, but not three days.

All Congress can do is reject all applications, which will end up in lawsuits going all the way to the Supreme Court, which will rule against Congress in denying due process for the applicant.

Besides the humidity and the excess amount of bothersome bugs crawling on my bedroom walls, summer is in progress and I am completely glad I can walk outside wearing shorts and flip-flops rather than having to wear a winter coat and boots.

While it may be the last day of June, I still have nearly a month and a half of freedom until my fall semester classes begin and I am stressed out with exams and assignments.

For these past few weeks, when I haven’t been at work or completing assignments for my one online summer class, I have been enjoying catching up with my friends.

Whether we just sit in a basement and talk or go to get peanut butter-flavored ice cream at Sonic, I want to savor the time with them before all of us part ways in August.

Between me and my friends’ varying work schedules and vacations, it’s often hard to get six girls together for one day without making arrangements a few weeks ahead. Yet, every summer my friends and I create a list filled with a bunch of different things we want to do while we are all back at home and college-free. Some items on our list include going to see fireworks on the Fourth of July, having a bonfire and going to a local festival.

Sadly, there are also some items on our list that I can tell are not going to happen, like camping and traveling to the Indiana dunes, mostly because we have yet to plan or even utter a word about either of these two adventures.

One thing my friends have planned out this summer is a road trip to Minnesota to go to the Mall of America. While I have been to the Mall of America before, several of my friends haven’t gone or haven’t been there in a while. All of us have dreamed of going on a road trip since we were in our early high school days.

‘Super great grandma’ celebrates 99th birthday at 18-acre farm in Elburn

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com

• Thursday, June 30, 2016

ELBURN – Throwing a surprise party can be tricky.

Keeping things secret from the guest of honor can be difficult enough, and finding the perfect venue doesn’t come easy either.

There ended up being little doubt where June Karasek’s 99th birthday party would be. The Elgin resident loves Rustic Road Farm, located at 1N292 Brundige Road, in Elburn.

“We decided to have the surprise party at the barn because she loves it so much there,” Karasek’s daughter, Cher Pawlak, said. “We’ve gotten to know Marc and Luis Bernard (owners of Rustic Road Farm) over the years and when they heard she was turning 99, they said we had to have the party there. So we did and it was the perfect surprise. Plus, we were able to get people from all over the country to attend.”

While birthday No. 100 awaits Karasek on June 1, 2017, her 99th proved to be a grand celebration that will be hard to top next year.

“We thought that celebrating the end of double digits is just as significant as three digits,” Pawlak said.

“We’ve been blessed to become such good friends of the Bernards, and having the party there rather than at home was so much better. It was perfect.”

While Karasek is more accustomed to visiting the farm earlier in the day, she didn’t find anything peculiar when her daughter brought her to the farm early in the evening June 25.

“She was totally surprised,” Pawlak said. “She came around the corner of the pool and suddenly saw all the people there. She spotted my sister and wondered what she was doing there, and then she saw a whole bunch of other people, so we surprised her pretty good.”

Family members made the long trek from Ontario, Canada, and Denver, among other places, and the birthday meal was prepared by Marc Bernard.

Slow-roasted pork and a family-favorite recipe that was given to Bernard for an Alabama white barbecue chicken highlighted the farm dinner, which also included coleslaw, potato salad, barbecue beans, onion strings, a green salad and more.

Dessert was Karasek’s favorite – lemon meringue pie.

About 30 guests attended, including

“My husband and I were watching and decided we needed to check the farm Marc Bernard of Rustic Road Farm and Cher Pawlak bring a birthday cake to 99-year-old out,” Pawlak said. “So we all got into the car and checked it out, made quick June Karasek on June 25 at the Elburn farm. friends with Marc and Luis and we’ve some kids who cooled off in the pool. plan on turning Rustic Road Farm into been going back regularly ever since.”

Bennett Cerf, one of the founders of Random House, said, “Middle age is when your old classmates are so gray and wrinkled and bald that they don’t recognize you.”

One reason bridge experts make fewer mistakes than other players is recognition. They recognize situations and know the right bid or play to make almost subconsciously.

Both South and East can make expert plays in this deal. South reaches four hearts, and West leads the club king to declarer’s ace. What might happen after that?

Three diamonds was a help-suit game-try, which North accepted with all of his points in the red suits.

Declarer, at trick two, ran the heart 10. East realized that there was scant chance to defeat the contract, given that he had the diamond king presumably sitting under South’s ace.

So, East tried a ruse. He won with his heart ace and shifted to the diamond three.

Now move into declarer’s seat.

What if this shift was a singleton?

Then, to take a losing finesse would cost the contract because the defenders would take the heart ace, the diamond king, a diamond ruff and the club queen. But with West “clearly” having the heart queen, it was “safe” to win with the diamond ace and repeat the heart finesse.

Imagine South’s shock when East produced the heart queen, cashed the diamond king, and led a club to West’s queen for down one.

A more skillful South would have led a low heart to dummy’s jack, not run the 10. Then East could not have afforded to win with the ace for fear that West had started with 10-doubleton.

From their backyard to yours Team FIB BBQ Caterers to have booth at Windmill City Festival

By BEN DRAPER bdraper@shawmedia.com Two North Aurora men – and Batavia natives – have found success with their barbecue catering business.

Team FIB BBQ Caterers began in the backyards of Bryan Whipple and Sean Trowbridge, before the pair wanted to try their hand at barbecue competitions. “[The name]’s kind of a tonguein-cheek play on what our friends in Wisconsin call us. It actually stands for ‘Flatlander’s Incredible BBQ,’” Whipple said. “We were originally going to do barbecue competitions, and that’s where the ‘team’ came from.”

The pair started catering for larger groups by making food for Trowbridge’s excavating company’s annual parties. The partners “learned the ropes” of whole-hog cooking from Trowbridge’s uncle.

“It kind of snowballed from there.

We built this large cooker ourselves out of reclaimed metal from local scrap yards,” Whipple said. “We built it for competitions, but as I posted pictures on Facebook, people started seeing it and saying, ‘Hey, could you cook something for me?” and we thought that maybe we have something here.”

Catering customers can order just meat, or have Team FIB BBQ provide everything from the main course to the plates and utensils. Team Fib charges by weight for meat-only orders, and for large catering orders they charge per person.

Originally only cooking meat for clients, Team FIB BBQ now offers sides such as coleslaw, potato salad and more. Team FIB uses fresh, local ingredients, including eggs from their own chickens, local honey and meat from Major Meats in Batavia.

“Nothing is out of a bag,” he said.

Whipple said that Team FIB BBQ converts a lot of people with its brisket.

“We don’t do it the same way a lot of places do it. They’ll try to do it Texas-style or something else. But this isn’t Texas, it’s Illinois. We’re a hodge podge of different food genres and styles. Just like the blues from the Chicagoland area, we got influences

from everywhere else to make something unique,” he said.

He does admit that there are differing opinions on what barbecue they cook is king.

“Sean and I are real partial to the beef brisket. But if you ask our wives, it’s the pulled pork,” he said. “But the consensus of the people we’ve served: It’s been the ribs.”

Whipple said he and Trowbridge have spent years tweaking their rib recipe.

“We make our own sauce, and the ribs themselves get a honey, brown sugar and bourbon glaze,” he said. “Once people try our food, they love it. I call them ‘Team FIB converts.’ They become part of the team.”

Visitors to this year’s Windmill City Fest will get a chance to become Team FIB converts, as the caterers will be on hand selling their barbecue. Whipple said Freddy Martinez of El Taco Grande in Batavia was a big factor in Team FIB BBQ not only launching its catering business, but

also taking part in the festival. Martinez hired the grillmasters when he and his wife held a baby shower.

“He was the first client of ours that paid us to cook,” Whipple said. “He called me up and asked me to do it. He really pushed for us to do the Windmill City Fest this year.”

Whipple and Trowbridge both grew up in Batavia, and Whipple has memories of helping his mother, Donna Whipple, at the VFW food tent at the festival growing up. His sister Wendy Does, who also works with Team FIB, worked in the VFW kitchen, too.

“I remember being 12, 13 years old, being at the booth and just helping where I could,” he said.

Even with Martinez pushing for Team FIB to work the Windmill City Fest, Whipple said that they were still on the fence. Food vendor organizer Lindsey Williams of the Batavia Chamber of Commerce approached Tony Turner of Diesel’s Service and Repair about doing barbecue. He wasn’t interested, but suggested Team FIB BBQ. “That was it. With Freddy pushing us and Tony pushing us, we were doing it,” Whipple said.

On the Windmill City Festival menu for Team FIB BBQ is beef brisket and pulled pork. The pair is

toying with the idea of limited-quantity, bone-in pork chops on a stick as a special during the evening June 9.

“It’s a new thing we’re working on, and we think it’ll be a big hit,” he said.

The booth will also feature coleslaw, baked beans and potato salad.

Going forward, Team FIB BBQ is looking into the possibility of a food truck or concession trailer as its business expands. They are also looking to add another cooker.

“The food truck would be the best route, because we could tow our cooker behind it,” he said. “With how small we are, we’re actually having to turn down some work that we could do. So we’re thinking about getting another cooker and possibly bringing on some people. We could have someone operate the food truck during the week.”

Whipple expressed gratitude for the success Team FIB BBQ Caterers has seen so far.

“The reaction has kind of been overwhelming,” he said. “It’s a very satisfying thing for people to eat your food and compliment you.”

The band 1976 performs at Lincoln Park in St. Charles on June 23 as part of the St. Charles Park District’s Concerts in the Park series.

Records of the concerts date as far back as 2003, Williams said. He said it is helpful to know which bands have participated and that the park district will ask bands with good feedback to

return.

When selecting a year’s lineup, Williams said the park district aims to feature a variety of genres, including pop, classic rock, jazz, funk and country.

People are welcome to bring picnics, folding chairs and blankets, as well as their kids, Williams said, adding it’s not unusual to see children on the playground during the concerts.

He encouraged people who haven’t yet attended a concert to give it a shot.

“It’s definitely a family event,” he said.

ST. CHARLES – If it’s a summer Thursday evening in St. Charles, chances are Lincoln Park is packed with people, ready to hear some tunes.

Bands of various genres have performed at the downtown park for more than a decade as part of the St. Charles Park District’s summer Concerts in the Park series.

Josh Williams, the park district supervisor in charge of the series, said the event has lasted as long as it has because of the turnout, which generally totals 500 to 800 people each week.

The group 7th Heaven – which plays renditions by such groups as Def Leppard, The Beatles and Bon Jovi – usually draws the biggest crowd, he said.

“They’ll get almost 1,000,” he said.

Although the music doesn’t begin until 7 p.m., people begin arriving as early as 5 p.m., Williams said, noting most people show up around 6 p.m.

But, he said, there isn’t necessarily a bad seat in the park, as the band can be heard from the entire area. Nearby residents even enjoy the music from their porch, he added.

“We definitely like the location,” Williams said.

Maple Park’s Concert on the Lawn features feel-good tunes

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK – With storms sweeping through the area, the first Concert on the Lawn of the season, hosted by the Maple Park and Countryside Fire Protection District, was postponed a day.

While the weather proved to be beautiful for the concert on June 23, the schedule change likely made it difficult for some people to attend. Still, there were plenty of adults enjoying live music while relaxing in lawn chairs.

“It’s a nice way to get the community outside in the nice weather, and [to] sit and talk to each other and have a good time,” Fire Chief Kevin Peterson said. “It’s always nice to get together, especially because people are so busy, and this is one of the few chances people can get out and relax.”

The Hometown Band delivered a diverse mix of songs, providing material that the young kids, as well as the old-timers, could enjoy.

“We have come out to these many times in the past,” Maple Park resident David Stover said. “It’s too bad they had to postpone it because of the weather, because I’m sure there would’ve been more people here... . But it’s still always nice to come out and this is still a nice crowd.”

• LAWN Continued from page 6 Lynn Harness is happy to say that she’s been a Maple Park resident for close to 25 years. In fact, she believes her adult children loved living in the small community so much that they too have found nice places to live in similar rural areas.

“My kids often have told me how nice it was to grow up here,” she said.

“And events like this are special and part of the reason why. It’s nice for the community to come together like this, especially because you don’t have to go very far to get here.”

The Maple Park United Methodist Church sold hot dogs, chips and drinks.

Many guests brought their own coolers.

“It’s a nice time to come and see old friends,” said Judy Thorgesen, who was handing out hot dogs for the church.

“And the neat thing is that it’s not just current Maple Park residents. Some people who have moved away come back at this time to visit, which is nice.”

Maple Park resident Alysha Turton is a newcomer to town. She moved with her 4-year-old son Gabe earlier this year from Naperville.

“I liked the quieter atmosphere,” she said. “I had no idea this was going on but then saw the people and the chairs, and Gabe wanted to see the fire truck.

It’s very cool. We’ll definitely come back to the next one.”

Charlotte Dupree of Sycamore said she’s lived in the area since 2007, but had never attended this event. After see-

“There’s something unique about a small town getting together and just hanging out and having a good time,” she said. “And this weather is amazing.

I see you had Michael Bolton coming back. Is he still sporting that “mane” of hair? – Joanie T., Wayne

I saw Dee Snider of the rock group Twisted Sister at one of your shows a couple of years back. He came across as kind of “out there.” – Bob S., Chicago

Yes, that was an AMAZING day for us! It was outdoors in Elgin, where we had Dee with Bret Michaels of Poison and Tom Keifer of Cinderella, hosted by “That Metal Show” host Eddie Trunk! Dee is one of the most theatrical rockers out there, with long, curly platinum blonde hair, crazy makeup and tight spandex pants. After the show, we went out for dinner with our wives, and I gotta tell ya, besides being one of the nicest guys in rock, he is one of the smartest. He masterminded the whole Twisted Sister thing, the music and the persona. The band has suffered a recent loss, as one of the founding members has passed, leaving the future of Twisted Sister in question. But if they do come back out, it will be a show you won’t want to miss!

I was just watching an old Andy Hardy movie, and it reminded me of the time you had Mickey Rooney at The Arcada. How was he to work with?

– Rosie H., Bloomingdale

Ahh Mickey! Boy, that was truly a career moment for me. He was very sweet, and humble. He was also a very proud World War II veteran.

When I thanked him for his service in the military, and referred to the countless soldiers he entertained for; he stood up straight and said: “Hey, I was in the fight myself. I was in the foxholes with those guys; I shot my gun; I fought for my country.” He then pulled back the lapel of his jacket where he was proudly

Ron Onesti displaying a Word War II service medal. To experience a retrospective of his career was something I will never forget.

I recently saw Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys on an interview, and he seemed way out of it. How is he in concert? – Jorie T. Geneva

We were privileged to have hosted one of his last solo concerts before he went on the Beach Boys’ 50th anniversary reunion tour. When you meet him, he seems somewhat out of it, due to some past drug use and other health issues. It really is a severe situation. But, when he took the stage with his band, the power of the music took over as well. He sang well, kept up musically, and even shared his dry sense of humor with the audience. He is a true legend … check out the recently released film “Love & Mercy.” It is fabulous and John Cusack is genius as Wilson.

Is Barbra Streisand coming out of retirement? – Tammy K., St. Charles

Well, I don’t believe she truly announced her retirement. And, if she did, she was as serious about it as Cher was! She is dong a multi-city summer tour, hitting the United Center on Aug. 9. She will be supporting her new album, “Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway.”

The new album tips to her inestimable contributions to Broadway and Hollywood by pairing Streisand “with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars to sing Broadway classics,” according to a news release. Her last tour was 2012’s Back to Brooklyn, a celebrated run, featuring songs from a storied career that has seen Streisand become the only artist to notch No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 in six separate decades.

Ron Onesti is president and CEO of The Arcada Theatre in St. Charles. He provides personal recollections of events and people that he has encountered over the years.

Hey, where have ya been? He cut it in 1997, almost 20 years ago! But that is how popular he was (and still is), and how popular his long, curly locks were! He told me that almost 100 million dollars was spent on his marketing, and much of that included his signature look and hairstyle.

He had hair down to his waist when he was 14 years old as a type of rebellious message. Can you imagine that? Bolton, Mr. “When A Man Loves A Woman,” rebellious? He returned to The Arcada on June 28 for a rare all-hits performance. Hope you were able to check out the show … and his short haircut!

Line a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, making sure there are at least 3 inches of overhang on each side.

To roast the rhubarb: Slice the rhubarb stalks into 2-inch pieces and put them in a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer. Sprinkle 3/4 cup of the sugar and the salt over the top and toss gently to combine.

Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the rhubarb is soft and juicy.

Let the rhubarb cool slightly, then transfer to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. You should have about 2 cups of rhubarb puree. Refrigerate while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Whip the eggs with an electric mixer on high speed with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar until the eggs are light in color and have nearly tripled in volume, about 7 minutes.

In a separate bowl, with clean beaters, whip the cream to soft peaks.

Fold in the whipped cream, then spread the mixture in the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Fold the plastic wrap over the top to cover, pressing it against the surface to seal. Freeze until completely firm, at least 6 hours or overnight.

To serve: Unwrap the plastic from the top of the pan, invert the semifreddo onto a platter, and remove the remaining plastic. Serve thick slices of semifreddo with a bit of whipped cream and chopped pistachios or a spoonful of Spiced Rhubarb Compote.

Extra semifreddo can be stored in the freezer, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, for up to five days.

Chop the rhubarb into 1/2-inch pieces and place them in a nonreactive saucepan. Use the tip of a knife to split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds.

Add the sugar, grated ginger, star anise, vanilla seeds and pod and lemon juice to the pan. Stir to combine, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the mixture rest for 2 hours at room temperature.

After a bit of rest the rhubarb should be juicy.

Lilies are the exclamation points of gardens. After the gush of spring bloom, there tends to be a lapse during which there is not a great deal of color.

Lilies fill this gap brilliantly.

While there are many types of lilies, some require more care (Orientals) and some require staking (trumpets), but there are lilies that are easy to grow in ordinary soil, are disease free, do not require staking and are inexpensive. They are primarily Asiatic lilies and Orienpet (Oriental/trumpet crosses), and while few Asiatics have fragrance, they boast every other virtue. Orientals and Orienpets all have varying degrees of scent.

Many people purchase or receive lilies in pots, and potted lilies can actually be put into the ground after bloom and become a permanent part of your garden. Lilies are bulbs – nice little packages that can be put just about anywhere in your garden where you have a few hours of sun. Take that nice potted lily, dig a hole, throw in a

has a mild scent. It comes back faithfully every year, and requires little in the way of water or care.

For a little delicacy, consider the Oriental lily Sorbonne. It is the easiest Oriental to grow (it doesn’t require special soil); it has a strong stem (so it doesn’t require staking); it has a phenomenal scent that is not overpowering, so it can be brought into the house; and it is quite inexpensive. It lasts for years. And it multiples.

If we are discussing well known lilies, we should discuss the Oriental/ trumpet cross that put Orienpets on the map – Silk Road. It is one of the earliest of this type of lily, with an extremely strong stem and a lovely scent. I like to grow it where it emerges from shrubs or other plants.

Add a few of these exclamation points to your landscape. You’ll love them.

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose it slid down my throat. Yes. Put that on the list.

But wait, I couldn’t go to the store.

No way. Wouldn’t spread germs. But Holly, she was well. She was well!

Yes! Italian ice!

“Holly, Noah can drive, but he’s wiped out. You can go in, OK? He made a list.”

“Mom,” Noah said.

“Mom,” she said. She wanted nothing to do with either one of us. Gave us a wide berth, feared the truck would get her, too. I get that.

“Holly, can’t you just drive yourself?” I smiled weakly. She rolled her eyes. Stupidly giddy, Italian ice in the offing, I’m not sure I’d have resisted had she agreed. Of course I would.

But Italian ice.

“Mom. I have a permit.”

“I know. I’m kidding.” I guess.

“I’ll drive,” I say. “But you have to go in. With my debit card and a list.”

Hope springs eternal. I smiled inside.

Italian ice.

“No!” “I don’t want to infect America,” I said. A really good mom would already have recovery staples on hand.

Ha. “Do you want to be the reason America ceases to exist?” Noah chimed in. Whoa, he was sounding pretty healthy. The truck had only sideswiped him. But she wasn’t having it. “Make her do it,” he said. As if.

Even when I’m well I’m no match for Holly. No idea why. Please, let’s keep that between us.

“Losing your spine is one of your symptoms,” Noah announced. Huh. The smile threatened, but I was too tired. “You count to three with me, threaten to take my phone … .” So now I have to deal with the you-treather-better-than-me nonsense on top of feeling miserable? Calgon, take me away. Yes, put that on the list, too. A cool bath … .

“Close your MacBook,” Noah said.

“I’m writing a column!” I was.

This very one.

“No you’re not,” he said. “It’s Monday. I know when your column

is due.” The smile inside got so big I actually laughed out loud. It hurt to laugh. But he wasn’t wrong. Noah knows I usually don’t get around to actually writing my columns until the day they’re due. But as you can see, this time, I basically just took dictation. It’s practically cheating.

I’m ridiculous, but so was he.

“I’m putting shorts on and going,” he said, fed up with us both.

“No. You’ll infect America.”

“I know you won’t make her do this.”

“You’re just saying that because you think I’ll rise to the challenge.”

I didn’t feel like rising to anything, but up the stairs I went, to her room.

Gave it my best shot. Even I laughed.

I was pathetic.

In the end, Noah went. I doubt he infected America, well as he really was. But he forgot the Italian ice.

Yeah. Such is life.

Jennifer DuBose lives in Batavia with her family. Her column runs regularly in the Kane Weekend section of the Kane County Chronicle.

Sick. Sicker than I’ve been in years.

Fever. Sleep? Sure thing, Mom. Medicate the cat.

Plates to spin. Deadlines to meet.

Such is life. A relatively privileged one, at that, one now blessed with capable teenagers, not unwieldy toddlers (a far more challenging scenario for a parent suffering the crummies). Ah. Yes. But one, the big one, had also been struck by the truck.

“I need Gatorade,” he said. “And Saltines. And soup. And Pedialyte.”

My young powerlifter worried he’d lose weight. He would. He would!

Would I? Silver lining? But I digress.

On the mend, out of the weeds, he needed a few things. What did I need?

Hmm … from the store, anyway, Italian ice. That’d be nice. Would melt on my tongue, cool the fever as

Subspecialists cover range of issues Dear Dr. K: I have high cholesterol and high blood pressure, so I know I’m at increased risk for heart disease. Should I see a cardiologist?

Dear Reader: For many people, a primary care physician (PCP) can effectively manage standard risk factors for heart disease. Your PCP also will know when you need to see a cardiologist, and can refer you to a particular one.

If you’re concerned that you might benefit from seeing a cardiologist, but your PCP has not referred you to one, here are some guidelines. If you’ve already had a heart attack, or you are at high risk for having a heart attack, I think you should have a cardiologist who knows you. Or say you haven’t had a heart attack, but you have cholesterol or high blood pressure that just won’t be controlled with standard treatment. If so, a cardiologist is in order.

Cardiologists have broad knowledge about the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a range of heart conditions. These specialists know the ins and outs of heart attacks, heart rhythm disorders, heart valve problems and blood vessel disorders.

The increasing pace of medical knowledge and technology has led to subspecialists among cardiologists. For example, some cardiologists focus on treating and preventing heart attacks. Others focus on problems with heart rhythm, the commonest of which is atrial fibrillation. They can do tests to determine what is causing abnormal heart rhythms, and perform electrical treatments to correct them.

Then there are the interventional cardiologists. These are specialists who can diagnose blocked arteries and treat them immediately with an angioplasty and stent.

Finally, there are cardiologists who specialize in treating people with heart failure. These days, there are many new

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff treatments for this condition. These cardiology subspecialists are on top of the latest treatments.

You can also check the websites of well-established health care institutions near your home. They can help you to identify doctors with expertise for your particular issue. In addition, many major academic medical centers have specialized clinics.

If you do see a cardiologist, make sure that he or she is board-certified in cardiovascular disease with the American Board of Internal Medicine. The American Board of Thoracic Surgery certifies cardiovascular surgeons.

There has been a growing trend toward shared decision-making around medical care, and many doctors support their patients’ efforts to take a more active role in their health care. So if you’re slated to undergo heart surgery or another procedure, you shouldn’t have any qualms about asking questions such as these: -- How many years have you practiced in this specialty?

-- How many cases have you treated that are similar to mine?

-- What were the short- and long-term outcomes for those patients?

If your doctor recommends a non-emergency procedure, including some types of surgery and angioplasty, you may have time to consider your options. That might include getting a second opinion.

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

CROSSWORD PUZZLE ANSWERS

Dear Abby:

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips

Cyprus Dear Grieving: You cannot heal a rift you

didn’t create, and you also can’t “donate away” Chris’ resentment. He’s unhappy for a number of reasons and is taking it out on you not because you’re a bad sister, but because you are within striking distance.

Your brother needs to work out his difficulties himself.

A family meeting – including your husband – might clear the air so all of you are on the same page. Your brother needs to understand why the financial help he seems to expect is unrealistic and will not be forthcoming.

Dear Abby: Is there any way to counter a stranger’s mean or hurtful remark (racist, age-related or sexist) in a mall or store? I feel I have to say something – without being confrontational – even if the remark isn’t aimed at me.

What do you suggest? – Compelled to Act

in Ottawa, Canada Dear Compelled: Because you don’t want a

confrontation, I urge you to say nothing to the person who made the offensive remark.

However, you could approach the person who was the target and quietly say: “That was uncalled for. I hope you realize the person who said that is ignorant, and don’t let it get to you.”

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

Dr. Wallace: I really need your help. I’m 16 and have a difficult decision to make. I’m dating Tony who is a really nice guy and treats me like a lady. I like him very much.

About two months ago, I was dating a guy who treated me like dirt and all he really wanted from me was sex. Dylan told me to “get lost” because he was tired of looking at my “ugly face.” Even though he was crude and didn’t love me, I still loved him.

He was very romantic and I never had sex until I met him.

Once in a while he slapped me around, but he apologized and said he just wanted to keep me in line.

So here is my problem: Last night Dylan called me and apologized for the way he had treated me and he said that during the separation he discovered that he really loved me and wants to see me again.

I really think that I love him, but something tells me that he is just looking for sex.

Tony is a real sweetheart. He is the perfect gentleman. He is never aggressive and he never expects anything more than a goodnight kiss.

I’m thinking that I could really fall in love with him, but at the moment I think I still love Dylan.

I really need your advice before I make a big mistake. Please help. –

Confused, San Francisco, Calif.

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace Confused: Dylan is a jerk who almost certainly is looking for sex as you suspect. But no matter what his reason for calling you – even if it’s the one he stated over the phone (fat chance) – he is completely undeserving of your love. The only thing he has a right to ask of you is forgiveness.

You know this already, but I don’t mind confirming it in print.

The fact that you’re with Tony now shows that you have overcome the serious lack of self-esteem that caused you to love a guy who regularly insulted and even hit you. Stay with Tony. You may come to love him, but more importantly, it’s your best hope of learning to love yourself!

Dr. Wallace: I’m 17 and the guy I’m dating occasionally is 18. Next week we are going to my friend’s surprise birthday party at the home of a mutual friend. About 20 kids are invited and the host’s parents will be there until the party ends.

My parents are paranoid about booze being smuggled into teen parties.

My boyfriend can pick me up and bring me home in his car after a date, but when we go to a party,

one of my parents drives me to the party, and then home after the party ends.

This makes me feel like a baby who needs to be watched over all the time.

My boyfriend is not a boozer.

He only drinks occasionally and he never ever drinks when he is with me. He is a responsible person. To not allow him to drive me to and from a party is utterly ridiculous.

Don’t you agree? – Leslie,

Charleston, S.C. Leslie: I understand your frus-

tration, but your parents have a point. Teens, alcohol and parties just seem to go together For instance, in a survey conducted by Seventeen Magazine, 70 percent of the participants said that alcohol was readily available at parties they attended – whether or not it was chaperoned. And 59 percent said they had seen teens get behind the wheel after they had been drinking but, because of peer pressure, said nothing, even though it made them uneasy.

This same pressure also causes “non-drinkers” to drink at parties.

If I were you, I wouldn’t complain. Your parents aren’t forbidding you to attend the party.

They’re just making sure you get home safely.

My brother, “Chris,” is going through a divorce and lost his business. He is now lashing out at our mom and me when she spends time with me.

When I tried to express my sympathy, Chris attacked me via direct message, saying I have a “charmed life and don’t care about anyone – including him and our cashstrapped parents.”

It started when Dad gave me a car he wasn’t using before we learned about my brother’s misfortune. When I tried to return it, Dad refused.

Because I stopped responding to him on the internet, Chris is now complaining to Mom about my “selfishness.”

He says if the situation was reversed, he would have moved heaven and Earth to help me.

Abby, Chris has a job. He lives with our folks and pays token rent. My husband and I work, but I have had a salary cut, we have two kids to support and a mortgage to pay.

We’re in no position to provide the financial assistance my brother expects. My parents suspect that he’s still giving money to his soon-to-be ex.

My husband says Chris is trying to manipulate me and that I need to go on with my life, but I’m worried that the longer this goes on, the harder it will be to heal the rift.

I’m also worried about how this is affecting our parents. – Grieving in Nicosia,

Dylan is a jerk, but I love him anyway

TELEVISION Best Bets

He may be spared, at least temporarily, when a sudden tragedy diverts attention elsewhere. Manson (Gethin Anthony) isn’t happy about the deepening connection between Emma and Dennis Wilson (Emma Dumont, Andy Favreau), which comes to involve the Tate family’s future home. Ambyr Childers also stars.

THURSDAY

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM The Big Bang Theory The decision to pursue a patent for their gyroscope sets up trouble when Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) holds back on being bound legally to Sheldon and Leonard (Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki) in “The Application Deterioration.” The result is a conversation that’s uncomfortable for all concerned. Unsure what to do when ex-flame Emily (Laura Spencer) contacts him. Raj (Kunal Nayyar) gets advice from Penny (Kaley Cuoco) and others.

7 p.m. on ) WGN DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Stephen Amell turns up in his “Arrow” starring role as Oliver Queen, but in a considerably different variation, in “Star City 2046.” As the title suggests, the tale takes the Legends into the future, where some of what they discover about their present is quite dismaying — such as the fact that they evidently failed to defeat Savage (guest star Casper Crump). The “Arrow” aspect comes in as Sara (Caity Lotz) discovers what became of her loved ones.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Bones Booth’s (David Boreanaz) safety is imperiled further when FBI Agent Miller (guest star Kim Raver), who supposedly has been helping to locate him, is found to be withholding information in “The Brother in the Basement.” A forensic scientist (guest star Josh Casaubon) arrives to aid the search. Arastoo (guest star Pej Vahdat) comes to a decision that’s destined to impact Cam (Tamara Taylor) as well. Emily Deschanel and TJ Thyne also star.

7:31 p.m. on ^ WBBM Life in Pieces Sophia (Giselle Eisenberg) is a problem when Heather and Tim (Betsy Brandt, Dan Bakkedahl) make new friends in “Bite Flight Wing-Man Bonnie,” since she doesn’t like the other couple’s son. Greg (Colin Hanks) wants Jen (Zoe ListerJones) to fly separately from him, worried something may happen en route. Matt (Thomas Sadoski) runs into his ex-wife (guest star Brenda Song). Oscar winner Helen Hunt directed the tale. Martin Mull also guest stars.

8 p.m. on _ WLS Greatest Hits Your favorite songs from the past several decades may be included — along with their original artists — in this new series hosted by Arsenio Hall and country music’s Kelsea Ballerini. Among those slated to appear during the show’s run: Backstreet Boys, Rick Springfield, Foreigner, Wilson Phillips, Chicago and Boyz II Men. For those who’ve never seen a jukebox,

FRIDAY

there’s also Meghan Trainor and Pitbull.

This premiere focuses on tunes from 1980 through 1985.

8 p.m. on ) WGN Beauty and the Beast Series normally delve into the “It’s a Wonderful Life” theme toward the end of the calendar year, but given this show’s summer scheduling, the new episode “It’s a Wonderful Beast” turns up much earlier.

On the run again with someone with lethal intentions searching for them, Vincent (Jay Ryan) ponders whether Cat (Kristin Kreuk) would have had a better life without him — and, of course, he (and we) get a look at what that might have been like. Austin Basis also stars.

8 p.m. on @ WFLD Home Free “Pressure’s On” is a more-than-apt title for this new episode, as tension builds for the couples involved in the competition. Hosts Mike Holmes and Tim Tebow advise them to keep their cool, but that proves to be easier said than done as the challenges increase — a phenomenon not unknown to many other people who have tried to generate their “dream house.”

8:59 p.m. on ^ WBBM Code Black The aftermath of an accident involving multiple vehicles comes to encompass a budding romantic triangle among Mario, Angus and Heather (Benjamin Hollingsworth, Harry Ford, guest star Jillian Murray) in “The Fog of War.” While Christa’s (Bonnie Somerville) fate remains in question, Malaya (Melanie Chandra) stays with Carla (guest star Shiri Appleby) for the baby’s birth — which Carla doesn’t want.

Marcia Gay Harden and Raza Jaffrey also star.

9 p.m. on % WMAQ Aquarius Hodiak (David Duchovny) is under the microscope of Internal Affairs investigators in the new episode “Everybody’s Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey.”

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM NCIS: Los Angeles Michael Weatherly makes an amusing crossover appearance in his “NCIS” role in “Blame It on Rio,” as DiNozzo combs Los Angeles for a prisoner who escaped from him en route back to the U.S. from Singapore. Of course, he seeks — and gets — help from his West Coast counterparts including Callen and Sam (Chris O’Donnell, LL Cool J). Especially enjoyable are DiNozzo’s encounters with Hetty (Linda Hunt). Daniela Ruah and Eric Christian Olsen also star.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Shark Tank Plastic bottles may be in the past if a Florida teen environmentalist gets financial backing in this episode — which also features soap-opera veteran Sarah Buxton, now marketing a swimsuit that offers protection from the sun. Washington, D.C. residents introduce an app related to exercise, and a Texas man pitches a way to determine the cleanliness of a mattress ... or lack thereof. Mark Cuban, Lori Greiner and Barbara Corcoran are among the Sharks.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Rosewood Villa’s (Jaina Lee Ortiz) new partnership with someone from her past worries Rosewood (Morris Chestnut) for multiple reasons in “Ballistics & BFFs.” The newly paired duo probes a dentist’s death, but Rosewood thinks his replacement knows too much about the case. Another medical examiner (guest star Sherri Shepherd, “The View”) is enlisted to assist. Hornstock (Domenick Lombardozzi) has trouble handling media interest in the investigation.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Hawaii Five-0 If counseling can work for couples experiencing romantic strife, why not for police partners who also are having issues? McGarrett and Danny (Alex O’Loughlin, Scott Caan) give it a try in “Kuleana” (Hawaiian for “One’s Personal Sense of Responsibility”) by going to a couples retreat, which may not have the typical effect. Kamekona (Taylor Wily) is haunted by his past, rather literally. Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park also star.

9 p.m. on ^ WBBM Blue Bloods When his ex-partner is suspected of taking unethical measures to close a homicide investigation, Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) is questioned by a sleuth for the prosecu-

That’s the first challenge facing the 12 bakers who start the third season of this competition (which actually was the sixth season in its native England), with Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood back as judges who gauge the chefs’ efforts. It’s not just any cake they have to prepare first, but a sponge-cakelike Madeira cake. Before the hour is over, they’ll also have to whip up a black forest gateau.

10 p.m. on + WTTW A Few Great Bakeries This special is part food show, part travelogue and part tribute to the workers who get up in the wee hours to meet Americans’ bottomless hunger for baked goods all day long.

6 p.m. on @ WFLD The Simpsons “The Brady Bunch” took a trip to the Grand Canyon during the run of that sitcom, and a very different clan ventures to that national landmark in “Fland Canyon.” The trek plays out in flashbacks as Homer (voice of Dan Castellaneta) recalls the Simpson brood’s trip there with the Flanders family, not the most unified excursion — until a crisis involving Bart and Ned (voices of Nancy Cartwright and Harry Shearer) arose. Another episode airs an hour later.

6:30 p.m. on @ WFLD Bob’s Burgers It can be a gamble to put people together for a dinner party, as Bob (voice of H. Jon Benjamin) learns the hard way in “The Cook, the Steve, the Gayle, & Her Lover.”

Gayle (voice of guest star Megan Mullally) decides to bring her new boyfriend to the gathering, unaware that Louise (voice of Kristen Schaal) has an enduring grudge against him and is determined to torpedo the romance. Dan Mintz and John Roberts also are in the voice cast.

7 p.m. on % WMAQ U.S. Olympic Trials With the Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro a month away, teams go about the business of finalizing their rosters and that’s certainly the case tonight in Omaha, Neb., with the qualifying of swimmers in the women’s 50m and men’s 1,500m freestyle events. Among the U.S. athletes expected to appear are Natalie Coughlin,

ies he and his family subsequently make, which open old wounds among the survivors, in “Invasive Species.” Henry’s sister (guest star Kate Burton) blames Henry for their loss — insisting he should have come home more. At the White House, Russell (Zeljko Ivanek) keeps information from Elizabeth (Tea Leoni). Gary Basaraba and John Ellison Conlee also guest star.

8 p.m. on _ WLS The $100,000 Pyramid Certain “Saturday Night Live” alums have had on-camera showdowns in that show’s skits, but two — Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch — have a different battle in this new episode’s first match. Each aims for the winner’s circle to help win her partner the top prize of $100,000 for guessing categories correctly. Then, host Michael Strahan presides as his “Good Morning America” comrade Robin Roberts rivals actor-comedian Mario Cantone (“Sex and the City”).

8 p.m. on + WTTW Masterpiece Mystery!

The disappearance of an au pair causes Thursday (Roger Allam) to suspect a connection to an earlier case in the same area as the new “Endeavour Season 3” continues with “Prey.” A subsequent, bizarre death leads to the hunch that a lethal animal is involved, especially since a family relevant to the investigation is planning to open a safari park. Morse (Shaun Evans) and his associates risk their lives to solve the matter before mote fatalities occur.

8 p.m. on @ WFLD Family Guy Not all is festive during the local running of the bulls event, where Joe (voice of Patrick Warburton) is trampled and becomes a quadriplegic. Instead of rallying around their luckless buddy, though, Peter (voice of Seth MacFarlane) and the rest of the guys just find it too hard spending time with him in “Brokeback Swanson.”

Elsewhere, after a husband catches Brian (voice of MacFarlane) canoodling with his wife, Brian pretends to be the couple’s new pooch.

8:30 p.m. on @ WFLD The Last Man on Earth In some cases, two may be better than one, but all bets are off when it comes to two people named Phil Miller in “No Bull.”

The second one (Boris Kodjoe) creates problems among the survivors, leading
