Foggy days

“I went completely blind in the emergency room at Delnor. I did not know what was wrong with me at the time. … I remember thinking, ‘This is it. I’m done.’”

KCG

After a CT scan revealed a brain bleed, she was transferred to Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield.

At Central DuPage, doctors put in an arterial line to monitor the pressure in her artery but determined she did not need surgery to correct anything, she said. After two weeks in the hospital, she returned home – and began physical therapy to regain the use of her left side.

But there were other issues – such as postpartum depression. She also suffered anxiety and panic attacks from post-traumatic stress disorder.

She limped, had headaches and did not sleep at night.

“I ended up going into a postpartum program after that,” Schuyler said.

“Then I just went to the Delnor Health and Fitness Center pool on my own. I would go sit in the therapy pool with elderly people [twice] my age and they would wonder why I was there. … I thought I would never swim again.”

But she did swim again. And her vision gradually came back, but because the optic nerve misfires sometimes, she will probably see spots the rest of her life.

And she continued working out at the wellness center with other people also recovering from serious medical

Quenby Schuyler St. Charles resident issues, Schuyler said.

“There is a lot of grace in that gym,” Schuyler said. “They’re not trying to look good but trying to work through their injuries.”

Finding yoga

But when Schuyler started taking yoga at Delnor, offered by Noreen Vence, who taught at Prana Yoga in Geneva, her improvement went up to a whole new level.

“I wanted to take more of her classes because she was gentle and she talked about balancing the mind, meditation and breath work,” Schuyler said. “I felt good after class.”

Schuyler followed Vence to Prana, where she took very low-impact class-

GENEVA – Quenby Schuyler loves yoga because it helped her overcome the aftereffects of a stroke.

And Prana Yoga Center in Geneva is where she healed, Schuyler said.

“I went every day from March to June,” Schuyler said. “At first, I could not go upside down. I could not do handstands – nothing that would put my brain below my heart. … Now I am immersed in the yoga world. It changed my life.”

Schuyler was 34 on June 30 last year, nine days after having a baby when she suffered a hemorrhagic, or bleeding, stroke in the right frontal lobe of her brain, caused by postpartum eclampsia.

Eclampsia in pregnancy is a sudden sharp rise in blood pressure with swelling of the hands and feet. After pregnancy, Schuyler said, it can happen as a complication of birth.

“I was just sitting, breast-feeding and looking out the window,” Schuyler of St. Charles said.

Her partner, David Campos, called 911.

“I went completely blind in the emergency room at Delnor,” Schuyler said. “I did not know what was wrong with me at the time. … I remember thinking, ‘This is it. I’m done.’”

Chamber’s spokeswoman takes job at D-304

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – After six years as the spokeswoman and marketer for the Geneva Chamber of Commerce, Laura Rush left to begin a new position as administrative assistant in the facilities department at Geneva School District 304.

A personnel report for the school district confirmed Rush’s employment began Sept. 15. Rush confirmed starting a new position but would not comment on leaving the chamber.

Chamber President Jean Gaines said they would miss having Rush on the team.

“She did a great job,” Gaines said.

“She had tons of energy and she knew

News to your phone Sign up for breaking news text and email alerts at KCChronicle.com/subscribe. everything about Geneva because she was raised here. The benefit was she was a valued employee, so we are going to miss her tremendously. She was a good part of the team. ... We certainly will miss her. The school district is very lucky to have her.”

The chamber has posted the position for communications manager on its website, www.genevachamber.com.

The position asks potential applicants, “Do you love Geneva? Do you

want to be a key contributor to what makes Geneva special? … If you are comfortable speaking in public, enjoy working in organized chaos and want to be a cheerleader for Geneva, then this could be your future.”

Describing communications manager as a “fast-paced position,” the job posting describes duties as intensive writing of stories, press releases, short articles and a newsletter; the ability to turn out creative content quickly; collaborate with the chamber team to produce four major festivals; be a liaison to media outlets; and proficiency in Microsoft Suite software programs.

Gaines said the chamber has only advertised the position on its website and has received several resumes already.

• YOGA

Continued from page 3 before – although Schuyler is the first stroke survivor to take yoga at her studio.

“I’ve known dozens of people with car accidents going from wheelchairs to walking,” Bertke said. “Yoga is a known healing art, a healing science.

Yoga does amazing things on all levels.”

Campos also said he is a believer in the power of yoga. When Schuyler came home from the hospital, she went from being active and outgoing to being afraid of everything.

“She could not go to the end of the

driveway,” Campos said. “She was afraid to go out. … That’s how it was for months.”

Eventually, Campos said, she managed to walk to the end of the driveway and come back. And then she graduated to going to end of the street and then coming back – and then down the sidewalk, all slow, painstaking improvements.

Campos, who manages a training team for a software company, said he saw how yoga brought a more positive change in Schuyler.

“I was really impressed. She was doing handstands and all those moves, and every pretzel twist they do – it’s

pretty amazing,” Campos said. “The yoga really did wonders.”

Campos and Schuyler’s partnership is a blended family. Campos has a daughter, 16, and an 11-year-old son with autism. Schuyler has an 8-yearold son, and she and Campos also have a baby together.

Schuyler works as a freelance chef – her website is Q’s Kitchen at qs-kitchen.com. She has written extensively online about parenting, cooking, her stroke and how yoga helped.

“I am so thankful for the stroke because it changed my life,” Schuyler said. “It was the worst and best thing that happened to me.”

Called the “Places for Eating” tax, the amendment to the city’s code is go into effect in lieu of a referendum question asking voters to support an increase in the city’s sales tax.

The restaurant tax is expected to generate $500,000 for the remainder of the 2017 fiscal year and an estimated $1.5 million on an annual basis thereafter, officials said.

The additional revenue will allow the city to maintain its current service level for core city services – such as public works and public safety – and provide funding for capital projects and capital equipment.

Restaurant owners will be able to keep 1 percent of what they collect for the city’s tax to offset their cost of adjusting to the new tax, city administrator Stephanie Dawkins said.

“If they remit $2,000, they take 1 percent of that, or $20,” Dawkins said.

Mayor Kevin Burns said the special Committee of the Whole meeting following the regular City Council meeting was for the purpose of advancing the restaurant tax to the City Council meeting Oct. 3 for final action.

If you go n WHAT: Information session on the

proposed “Places for Eating” tax n WHEN: 8:30 a.m. Oct. 25, 3 p.m. Oct. 26 n WHERE: Geneva City Council cham-

bers, 109 James St., Geneva Once it’s approved, all affected businesses will be provided an informational packet, officials said.

The city will also host two informational sessions at 8:30 a.m. Oct. 25 and 3 p.m. Oct. 26 in the council chambers, officials said.

“I’m proud of the City Council for advancing this opportunity which we have discussed multiple times – and have agreed to in each instance – that this is the right thing to do for the community because our needs are genuine,” Burns said.

Fifth Ward Alderman Tom Simonian, who cast the lone no vote, had sought to have revenue from the new tax held separately from the city’s general fund.

“I want it allocated separately,” Simonian said. “Enterprise fund or whatever … I don’t want it going into a $90 million pot. I want it managed separately.”

Simonian suggested using restaurant tax revenue for one-time projects or for buying equipment.

Burns said the council will have the

opportunity to make those decisions through the regular budget process.

“We can discuss at the budget process how to invest those funds,” Burns said. “The discussion tonight – do we advance this to the council?”

Second Ward Alderman Richard Marks said he would to see a Places for Eating fund where money going in and coming out is clear.

“I like checks and balances,” Marks said.

Second Ward Alderman Donald Cummings said having the restaurant tax is a way of getting revenue from people who live outside of the city.

“I’m looking at the $1.5 million versus the $4.5 million we bring into the general fund from property taxes,” Cummings said. “The $1.5 million is 33 percent of the property taxes we’re allocating towards the general fund. …Taxes to the citizens of Geneva are really, really high.”

Cummings said he would like people to consider that a restaurant tax is “a way to save taxpayers some money.”

Fourth Ward Alderman Jim Radecki reminded the council members that a lot of discussion about the restaurant tax was predicated on deferring a downtown business tax as an alternative source of revenue that would apply to the entire tax base.

“Doing this, I think, is an olive branch to spread that unhappiness throughout the entire city,” Radecki said.

Homes put out the welcome mat for house walk House tours, tea to be capped by after-party at Water Street Studios

By STEPHANIE N. GRIMOLDBY editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – A look at past opulence and contemporary living will be part of the Batavia House Walk, returning after a year’s hiatus to showcase four unique Batavia homes and celebrate architecture, interior design and history. “[Batavia has] good school districts, a beautiful downtown – the restaurants are doing fabulous … we’ve got a lot to offer,” said Sharon Harwick, a local business owner who founded the walk in 2006 as a fundraiser for Batavia MainStreet. “We wanted to showcase all of the great options there are for living and raising a family or retiring in Batavia.”

From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Sept. 25, visitors will have the opportunity to peruse the interiors of four homes, all of which have been renovated in some way.

The homes will sport a specific holiday theme, with furnishings provided by local businesses such as Acosta’s Consignment, Furniture Dollies, 715 Vintage and Harwick’s shop, The Salvaged Heart.

“People like to see the homes, but they also like to get ideas for their own homes; [it gives] them ideas for a party,” Harwick said.

The walk will be self-guided, with several docents available at each house to provide additional details beyond the informational booklet that acts as the ticket to each home.

In addition to the four homes, walkers can visit Newton House, at the corner of Batavia Avenue and Wilson Street, at any point for tea and cookies before continuing on their way. The Victorian two-story was built in 1875 and features a grand staircase, three hand-carved fireplaces and stained-glass panels from Europe purchased by the original owner, Don Carlos Newton.

The Batavia House Walk, returning Sept. 25 with added perks, will feature four homes.

Featured homes n One house started out as a 1940s three-bedroom Cape Cod, but the homeowners literally raised the roof to add a second floor. The two-story now features a beautiful great room. n Known by many as the Christmas tree house, the Several community attractions also will be open to walkers, Harwick said. Across the street from Newton House is Gammon Corners, a large Victorian named after owner and builder Elijah Gammon.

Now an antiques shop, the structure has been a funeral home and tea room as part of its storied past.

The nearby United Methodist Church, built with funds provided by the owners of Newton House and Gammon Corners, will host tours from noon to 4 p.m. The Depot Museum, a Gothic Revival structure built in 1854 and relocated to Houston Street, will have docents ready to answer questions about the

The historic railroad building.

Finally, Beardsgaard Barbers on Batavia Avenue, which looks like an old-fashioned barbershop, will be available to walkers. “[Even if you] don’t need a shave or haircut, you can still go in and see the renovations they’ve done to that building,” Harwick said.

In a fun twist, Water Street Studios – housed in a historical 16,000-square-foot limestone building – will host an optional after-party for walkers from 3 to 5 p.m.

Rivers Edge Bar & Grill will provide complimentary appetizers, and a cash bar will be available. Proceeds will benefit Water Street Studios.

footprint of the house is almost identical to when it was built, with a few modern changes, including a beautiful master bedroom and bath. n A modified in-law suite was created in a 1950s home. Lush landscaping designed by the homeowner is an added bonus.

The casual event is meant to introduce new people to the venue and have them explore the building. The main gallery is now exhibiting a seventh anniversary show, WSS Executive Director Danielle Hollis said.

In the past, house walk attendance has reached nearly 500, and anywhere from $3,000 to $8,000 has been raised, Harwick said. In all, more than 50 volunteers of Batavia MainStreet will help pull off this year’s event.

“If you’re curious about what’s inside these beautiful homes you see, this is your chance,” Harwick said. “It’s fun, it’s social … it’s a nice way to spend the day.”

p.m. Sept. 25; optional after-party from 3 to 5 p.m. n WHERE: Various sites in Batavia n COST: $20 if bough before the event; $25 for day-of tickets; Tickets are available at Batavia MainStreet, 4 1/2 W.

Each home in this year’s Batavia House Walk has an interesting story, said Nancy Wolfe, a freelance writer who helped put together the informational booklet for the walk.

“The historic value of seeing homes that have been cherished enough to maintain or remodel, I think that’s reason enough to go see them,” she said.

bschory@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – Now that possession of small amounts of marijuana is no longer a criminal charge, Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon said Sept. 13 that 1,000 pending cases could be affected.

Senate Bill 2228, a decriminalization measure that went into effect July Joe 29, allows those McMahon caught with up to 10 grams of marijuana to be fined up to $200 as a civil offense.

Possession of small amounts is no longer a criminal offense subject to being arrested or jailed, according to the change.

Under the decriminalization, possession of more than 10 grams – up to 30 grams – is now a misdemeanor under the law

change and is no longer a felony.

The Illinois Supreme Court has provided guidance about how marijuana citations should be issued, filed and processed in the court system, McMahon said.

“That has prompted us to look at the universe of cases that are already in the system prior to the change in the law,” McMahon said. “There are 1,000 pending cases that could be affected by the reform bill.”

McMahon said most of these misdemeanor cases are already in the county’s pretrial diversion program for firsttime, nonviolent offenses.

And if those charged successfully complete the program, the charges would be dismissed and they would be immediately eligible to have their records expunged – that is, their criminal records would be erased from the system, McMahon said.

“The issue is, how do we handle the rest of them?” Mc-

Mahon said. “That will be dictated, in large part, by what the defendants choose to do – pursue a bench trial or a jury trial. I don’t have one standard way to do all of the rest of the … pending cases. We look at them individually.”

McMahon compared a civil charge of marijuana possession to a parking ticket.

“You can choose to pay it or contest it,” McMahon said.

“If you don’t pay the fine, you have to go to court and prove why it’s an improper citation.”

Also part of the new decriminalization is possession of what is commonly called “drug paraphernalia,” which in the case marijuana possession, is residue on a glass pipe.

“It could be criminal if it’s just paraphernalia,” McMahon said. “It’s civil if it’s under 10 grams of marijuana and paraphernalia.”

OAK CREST DeKalb Area Retirement Center www.oakcrestdekalb.org

“Go west young man, go west….”

Early Americans had the right idea when they moved west for a better life, rich with possibilities and complete with wide open spaces, room to breathe and new experiences. For me going west meant, that when it came to making a retirement decision, I only had to look a little west of my own community in Elburn to find a place that afforded me all the choice, security and opportunities I could imagine. Here at Oak Crest, I found unbelievable value and surroundings that fit my individual personality and expectations. Life in a rural community, coupled with the advantages of a state university, means I am able to participate in any number of cultural events. I also found a community of friends that warmly welcomed me and made me feel right at home. I tell everyone I meet, I have never been happier and encourage you to come by for a visit. Here at Oak Crest, you’ll discover why going west may be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make. I know it was for me.

Continued from page 9 Glass pipes and devices known as “grinders,” used to chop up marijuana to make it easier to smoke, are actually sold for regular tobacco use, McMahon said.

Once they have marijuana residue in them, he said, they become paraphernalia.

As to whether the state would come to the point where law enforcement would not bother pursuing marijuana possession at all, McMahon said the General Assembly is already moving in that direction.

“Two months ago, possession of small amounts of marijuana was a criminal offense; now it’s a civil violation only,” McMahon said. “The General Assembly has made a public policy decision to move in that direction directly. And that is entirely their prerogative.”

I was assigned to photograph St. Charles North High School’s annual homecoming parade a couple of weeks ago.

As the parade began, just west of the downtown, you could hear the drum beats and the band begin to play.

Jimmy the house cat relaxes after a productive night of rodent control, writes Pam Otto, manager of nature programs and interpretive services at Hickory Knolls Discovery Center.

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto firms love to toss around.

I suppose I also should add that the garage mice have always been Peromyscus spp, probably white-footed mice, native species that are staples in the diets of our local predators. If letting them take shelter would result in a more robust hawk and owl population, I was all for it.

I did have to modify my attitude slightly last year, the first and only time I had a negative interaction with my little rodent tenants. As a gift, I’d bought a birdseed mix that contained lots of nuts, including very fragrant peanuts, and was keeping it in the car until

I had a chance to deliver it.

Alas, the temptation proved too much for the perceptive Peromyscus. They chewed their way into the car’s interior by way of some plastic parts near the fuel tank. The resulting spray of fuel was enough to deter them from getting into the car’s interior, while the subsequent $600 repair bill was enough to deter me from letting the mice stay. A multipack of Victor snap traps and a bit of peanut butter later and the garage population of rodents dropped to zero.

With Jimmy’s discovery, however, a new era dawned.

Thursday, September 22, 2016 • Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com

This week’s column comes in the form of a public service announcement, courtesy of my cat, Jimmy.

Being a cat of few words, except when it’s suppertime, Jimmy wanted you to know just two things: Mice are starting to make their annual migration indoors, and poison is not the way to get rid of them.

Jimmy delivered the first part of this important message late the other night. Or maybe it was early the other morning. Either way, it was dark, I was sleeping, and Jim had to make several attempts before he got his point across.

Each time, I was awakened – though barely – by the sensation of something warm, wet and vaguely animate being flipped up, on and around the region of my head. I’d stir a bit and Jimmy would take off, running out of the room and down the hall meowing like some sort of feline town crier.

It was light out by the time I became conscious enough to fully grasp what Jim had been trying to tell me. I did so with one hand, picking up a soggy and quite dead Mus musculus that was lying – I kid you not – mere inches from where my other furry companion, Joey the dog, had slept soundly the entire night.

I couldn’t believe it. (Not the part about Joey. He’s a sound sleeper, except when there’s thunder.) But there it was, a house mouse, in my house. The first one ever to breach the perimeter in 23.5 years.

It was time to take action.

But first, a little background on the history of rodentia at Casa Otto.

Although this recent event marked the first time a mouse was found inside the house, my attached garage has had several rodent visitors, mainly in fall and winter, over the years. They were a peaceable bunch, and as I don’t store any food or other items out there that they could damage, they were allowed to stay. I’d occasionally find evidence in the form of a seed cache, and once in a while would catch a glimpse of the chipmunk or mouse that had left it but never found any signs of “infestation” – that term pest removal

POLICE REPORTS

What is the difference between independent and assisted living?

SPONSORED BY

At first glance, you probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between independent living and assisted living within a senior retirement community.

While the two share some similarities, their biggest offering – the level of care they provide – sets them significantly apart from each other.

Some seniors are independent at home, but they don’t enjoy the benefits of independent living within a community. Consider Fox Valley’s premiere retirement community, Plum Landing in Aurora, where residents enjoy transportation, meals, housekeeping, maintenance, well-being checks and a full activity program complete with outings and inhouse entertainment.

Now, if you’re someone who is struggling in managing daily activities, requiring assistance with toileting, bathing and assistance in dressing/ grooming, then you’re in need of assisted living.

One thing that both levels of care strive to provide for seniors is a lifestyle that’s vastly improved over their current one.

Plum Landing’s residents live independently without being hindered by chores and responsibilities that sincerely can be nuisances. Why waste time raking leaves, shoveling snow and making home repairs when a retirement community’s staff can do it for you so you can enjoy activities, outings, socializing with friends and family, fine dining and more?

Independent living gives seniors more time to celebrate life, choosing to do what they want to do and when. Assisted living helps those who have agerelated health limitations and provides the care that they require.

Plum Landing offers the extra little support that seniors need to continue to be independent so that they don’t need to move into assisted living. In fact, they can bring in additional services like medication reminders, bathing assistance and more to keep them independent longer.

There also are cost differences between independent and assisted living, and with homes and apartments of different shapes and sizes, amenities, as well as other factors, costs can vary considerably.

Are your intrigued about the advantages of independent living? Contact Amanda Castro to schedule a complimentary lunch and tour of Plum Landing, www.plumlanding.org, 630-896-5031.

Sports and Your Teeth

Elgin Symphony Orchestra presents Charlie Chaplin’s City Lights

SPONSORED BY

Do not let yourself or the people that you care about play a contact sport without a mouth guard!

Players without mouth protection are 60 times more likely to damage teeth than players who protect their teeth.

Why It Is Important Contact sports are responsible for 13-39% of all dental related injuries. Without the use of a mouth guard during sport play, a person can be exposed to many different types of dental and mouth injuries.

What a Mouth Guard Prevents: Lip and cheek lacerations- Teeth are very sharp and with the force of a blow they can cut through the cheek, tounge and lips requiring surgery.

Chips or broken teeth-Little chips are one of the hardest things to fix. Fillings simply do not like to stay on smaller surface areas of a tooth,

especially the front teeth. Often times a crown is needed after a chip or broken tooth in order to gain a permanent solution.

Tooth root damage-Hitting a tooth can cause permanent damage to the nerve of a tooth. This is quite interesting because sometimes it can take years for a tooth to show signs of the initial damage (such as a darkened/dying tooth).

It is never too early or too late to start wearing protective mouth gear during sports. Help yourself out and keep your teeth protected!

Where you can find mouth guards: -Just about any drug store or sporting store carries basic mouth guard products that can get the job done.

-For a professional mouth guard, contact your dentist and have one custom made to comfortably fit your smile.

By Denise Freese It’s a rare opportunity to watch a movie while listening to the film’s score performed by a live orchestra. Hearing the score played live during a silent movie results in an amazingly enhanced viewing and listening experience. In early October, The Elgin Symphony Orchestra will perform the score to the silent film masterpiece City Lights, written by and starring Charlie Chaplin.

According to Chaplin’s official website, City Lights was the longest and most difficult undertaking of his career. He spent 2 years and 8 months on the production. City Lights was an instant success when released in January 1931.

Influential directors like Orson Welles, Stanley Kubrick, George Bernard Shaw, and Woody Allen list City Lights as one of their favorite movies, and it is named one of the best films of all time.

Chaplin composed the musical score for City Lights. Not a trained musician, he used composers to help him. The score was completed in six weeks and included over one hundred musical cues. He told a reporter, “I just la-laed and composer Arthur Johnson wrote it down. It is all simple music, you know, in keeping with my character.”

The film premieres were considered among the most dazzling ever seen. In Los Angeles, Albert Einstein accompanied Chaplin; in London, it was George Bernard Shaw who sat beside him.

Quite a feat for the man who wrote, directed, acted in, and scored the entire motion picture.

Conducted by Stephen Squires, the Elgin Symphony Orchestra presents Charlie Chaplin’s City Lights, and will perform the score live.

The production will first be featured at the Schaumburg Prairie Center for the Arts on Friday, October 7, 2016 at 7:30 pm. Additional showings will be at the Hemmens Cultural Center in downtown Elgin, on Saturday, October 8 at 7:30 pm and on Sunday, October 9 at 2:30 pm.

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon sent a letter to all 24 county board members Sept. 9 stating that Chairman Chris Lauzen exceeded his authority when he entered into three agreements with an outside law firm, in violation of state law and the county’s own ordinances.

Lauzen said the con- Joe tracts were for consultant McMahon work, not legal services.

Consultant work has at least five components, Lauzen said, which are strategy, relationships, regulation, legislation – and legal advice, if necessary, he said.

Lauzen said he sought advice on getting revenue from better cellphone reception, fiber optics and turning municipal waste into fuel.

“Where do these ideas come from?”

Lauzen said. “They do not drop from heaven. … I’m positive I have the authority to engage in getting help in a consulting contract. I’ve done that before without a problem.”

Lauzen said that when McMahon sent the letter detailing these allegations to County Chris Board members, it was Lauzen possibly done in retaliation for his public objection to bonuses McMahon paid to his employees and seeking more money for his office.

“The personnel in the state’s attor-

Lauzen said McMahon’s office’s current budget is $2.6 million, and asking for an additional $800,000 represented a 30 percent increase.

“Sorry, we can’t do that,” Lauzen said.

As to the contracts, Lauzen said McMahon has total authority in litigation areas but that he believes “state statutes are silent when it comes to civil matters,” which is what Lauzen sought from the outside law firm.

“Was this a deliberate intention of – what I hope is not a retaliation – for me just doing my job of saving money?”

Lauzen said. “I think what the state’s attorney’s office is doing is hurting the property taxpayers. These folks are supposed to protect justice and this is a misuse. I think they are misusing their authority. We are trying to make forward progress and they are trying to stymie.”

McMahon’s office stated it cannot respond to Lauzen’s comments nor elaborate on the contents of the letter he sent.

McMahon’s letter, which was obtained by the Kane County Chronicle, asserts that Lauzen entered into agreements with the Chicago law firm of Schain, Banks, Kenny & Schwartz at a cost of $95,000 without being authorized as required by state law, the county’s own purchasing ordinance, nor were they reviewed or approved by the state’s attorney’s office.

“These unilateral decisions to retain and pay for legal services using county funds are acts in excess of the authority of a Kane County Board chairman,” McMahon’s letter stated.

See CONTRACTS, page 24

Hunt: Payment request for Lauzen’s outside contracts were routine

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – When Kane County Board Chairman Chris Lauzen wanted to have an outside law firm paid, he requested that the county auditor and treasurer approve and pay $40,000 to the firm.

In a Sept. 9 letter to County Board members, Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon wrote that paying the outside law firm violated state law because the three agreements with the Chicago law firm of Schain, Banks, Kenny & Schwartz had not gone through legal review before Lauzen signed the contracts.

“Contracts for non-legal professional services that exceed $30,000 must be awarded by the County Board … after

the completion of the competitive bidding process,” McMahon’s letter stated.

Lauzen said he did nothing wrong.

Kane County Auditor Terry Hunt said he routinely gets requests from department heads and elected officials to pay invoices.

“It happens every two weeks,” Hunt said.

In this case, Kane County Finance Director Joseph Onzick received a memo from the chairman to make three payments to the same firm for three different projects, Hunt said.

“One was for $10,000 and two were for $15,000, a total of $40,000,” Onzick said. “What we look at is that it has proper authority in the budget and that if it would have exceeded over $30,000,

we would have requested that he present that to the county board,” Hunt said.

“That is the threshold. In this case, none of the three were over $30,000,” Hunt said. “The state’s attorney’s office has a different perspective on that.”

McMahon’s letter stated that “both state law and the Kane County Purchasing Ordinance prohibit the stringing of contracts to evade the financial controls established by the state and local ordinances for contracts over a certain amount.”

Hunt said his office is presented with many situations where the county does business with a vendor or law firm that represents the same client on different matters.

“On an individual project, it can’t ex-

ceed $30,000 – even if it starts with $20,000 and we get another $20,000 asked for, we would have asked for presentation to the county board,” Hunt said. “In cumulative form, it would have exceeded the threshold. In the real world, it’s the same as a real estate attorney who does multiple work on different projects. They are individually considered.”

Kane County Treasurer David Rickert did not respond to a request for comment left at his office.

McMahon’s letter stated his office is reviewing the selection and payment authorization history to determine whether any legal violations occurred.

‘Passionate’ Kane County assistant public defender loses battle with cancer

Continued from page 23 “We are informing you [board members] that this office is reviewing the selection and payment authorization history to determine whether any legal violations may have occurred and the extent of the breakdown in the financial oversight controls that are in place to protect the county from the unauthorized use of funds,” McMahon’s letter stated. “We will inform the board of our findings upon the conclusion of our review.”

Specifically, Lauzen entered into the agreements about Nov. 30, 2015, at a cost up to $95,000 “in exchange for certain legal services,” McMahon’s letter stated.

“Both state law and the Kane County Purchasing Ordinance are very clear that the retention of legal counsel for non-home rule counties is the exclusive province of the state’s attorney,” McMahon’s letter stated. “Non-legal professional services which exceed $30,000 must go through the competitive bidding process, which includes the issuance of a request for proposal.”

State law and the county’s own ordinance “prohibit the stringing of contracts to evade the financial controls established by the state and local ordinances for contracts over a certain dollar amount,” McMahon’s letter stated.

“Contracts for non-legal professional services that exceed $30,000 must be awarded by the County Board or the Executive Committee … after completion of the competitive bidding process,” McMahon’s letter stated.

Lauzen said he did not intend to go over the $30,000 limit because he thought the expenditures for the contracts would go over two budget cycles.

Although McMahon’s letter noted that Lauzen, as chairman, can execute contracts on behalf of the county if properly authorized, “[the state’s attorney’s office] can find no minutes or resolutions of the County Board or its Executive Committee” that permitted the three contracts or obligated Kane County to pay the law firm, the letter stated.

McMahon’s letter stated that $40,000 was paid to the law firm in March, some funds were returned in July, and a balance of $25,375 remains as “an unauthorized expenditure of county funds.” McMahon also took Lauzen to task, stating in his letter that Lauzen was advised “orally and in writing” that his past attempts to hire attorneys without consulting the state’s attorney “is contrary to law.”

“Pursuant to Illinois law and the Kane County Code, the office of the state’s attorney is the sole authority for the provision of legal services to the county,” McMahon’s letter stated. “Any further unauthorized legal work must cease immediately to minimize financial exposure and further payment of unauthorized funds.”

Lauzen said that if there was a problem with the contracts, all McMahon had to do was call him rather than send out a letter.

“They want to soil my efforts and they are doing their very best,” Lauzen said. “I certainly did not start this. … They intended to do this publicly. I would have done it privately and professionally.”

ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – Kane County Assistant Public Defender Greg Brown was known as “an incredible lawyer,” so his death Sept. 11 at age 47 from cancer is a loss for the county’s entire legal community, State’s Attorney Joe McMahon said.

Brown, a Sycamore resident and a public defender for 22 years, is survived by his wife and two daughters, McMahon said.

“I, personally, am going to miss Greg,” McMahon said. “That is a significant loss for the pubic defender’s office and the legal community in Kane County. I will miss him terribly. He was as good as they are out there.”

McMahon said Brown had immense respect for his professionalism and skill as a lawyer advocating for his clients – who were sometimes very unpopular people.

“He was an incredible lawyer,” Mc-

Mahon said. “We knew if he was on the other side of the case, he was going to be thorough, passionate and protect his client’s rights. Beyond that, and more importantly, I got to know him personally. As much as we respected him professionally, personally he was an incredible human being.”

McMahon said a celebration of Brown’s life is will be hosted from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Oct. 1 at Blumen Gardens, 403 Edwards St., Sycamore.

According to Brown’s obituary, his family asks that guests dress in vibrant colors that are representative of Brown’s life and that black be avoided if possible to keep with the spirit of the day.

Kane County Health Department campaign to kick off with grant KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com The Kane County Health Department has been selected as one of 50 members of the HealthyCommunity50 in the Healthiest Cities & Counties Challenge to receive a $10,000 community seed award, according to a news release.

At the end of the challenge, the programs most able to show measurable change will be eligible for additional prize awards from $25,000 to $500,000, the release stated.

The local project is called Achieving Genuine Community Engagement, and the health department plans to use the initial grant to give residents a larger say and more authority over program and funding decisions, the release stated.

“Frequently, a small group of people make all the decisions in a community,” health department Executive Director Barbara Jeffers said in the release. “We have a half-million unique individuals in Kane County, Illinois, and we are committed to giving everyone a voice.”

The challenge, a partnership between the Aetna Foundation, the American Public Health Association and the National Association of Counties, launched in April during National Public Health Week. The challenge will award $1.5 million in total prizes, the release stated.

The HealthyCommunity50 members were chosen based on plans to improve the health of their communities in at least one of five domains: healthy behaviors, community safety, built environment, social/economic factors and environmental exposures, the release stated.

FAWN Gifts ventures onto business scene

By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – A twofold idea is behind the carefully curated collection inside FAWN Gifts, newly opened in the Thomle building at 2 E. Wilson St. in Batavia as the latest young business to be nurtured through the city’s incubator project.

Like the front window’s sign says, inside the shop of owner Brea Hayes are “gifts from the heart” designed for pampering self-care and to uplift friends and family. The other side of Hayes’ business equation is to highlight products created in Batavia and the region around it.

With its limestone walls and riverside perch, the cityowned Thomle building dating to 1878 is a jewel of a setting for Hayes’ take on the art of gift giving and her plans to host community events such as arts and crafts nights, for a nominal fee, self-care 101 classes, and book club gatherings.

She said she also will offer the second floor free of charge to organizations and groups looking for a place to meet.

In the shop, Hayes features bath and body products, inspirational books, teas, stationery, cards, candles, handbags and pottery in collaboration with independent artisans.

At the all-day Oct. 1 grand opening party, she said she will debut the upstairs space with coffee and tea tastings, small craft projects, food and drink in an open-house format.

“The view is beautiful from the second floor, looking right out at the river,” Hayes said.

Helping launch her business is the incubator program, which offered her a one-year lease with monthly rent set at $600, and the opportunity to continue to rent on a month-tomonth basis for up to a second year before moving the enterprise or buying the building, she said.

“We have subsidized rent to get our business going and put a little bit aside so we would have the opportunity to move somewhere else within the city,” Hayes said. “It’s an amazing program. I don’t know if we’d have been able to pull this off otherwise. The city has been great working

Hayes moved from Chicago to Batavia about a year ago, prompted, in part, by wanting to be closer to nature and its calming influence. Naming

her business for a baby deer was a natural connection, she said.

As for local sourcing, she notes that two of her bath and body lines are from Oswego and one is from Chicago. From Batavia are candles made by

Hearth & Hammer, and looseleaf teas in tins by Octavia Tea. Hayes said the purses are

by Sassy Sparrow, a group of sisters in their teens and 20s and their mother from Forrest, Ill. “[They] get all the fabric

from a guy who restores antique looms and uses antique patterns from the 1800s,” Hayes said. “They’re beautiful. We are the only place in the area you can get them.

“We really wanted to try and build relationships with everyone we’re buying products from, [to] know they have sustainable and ethical business practices; we’ve got a story with every product,” she said.

In November, Hayes said she will use the upstairs space to add a holiday market with such items as cards, ornaments and decor, and also will create custom gift boxes, and a wrapping service that’s free for items purchased at the shop.

Helping operate the enterprise is manager Stefin Steberl, who grew up in Geneva, and recently bought a house in Batavia.

“We went to college together – both in theater arts – and worked in that,” Hayes said.

“He’s the perfect [person] to come help run the store.”

Bringing community together

ELBURN – The Elburn Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with Da Capo Music of Elburn, hosted its second annual Folks on Spokes fundraiser Sept. 18.

Community members gathered at Kaneland Blackberry Creek Elementary School to participate in one of the three bike rides available.

“We came up with the idea for Folks on Spokes for multiple reasons,” Ben Westfall, owner of Da Capo Music Studio, said. “It’s a fun event, it promotes the goodwill of Elburn businesses by raising money to donate, and we are avid bike riders ourselves.”

Last year, Folks on Spokes worked to raise money to donate to the PTOs at both Kaneland John Stewart Elementary School and Blackberry Creek Elementary School. Westfall estimates about $1,000 was raised through the event last year.

“Elburn is a unique city because you can access any part of the town by bike. We think that’s a very special part of the town,” Westfall said. “A lot of people last year [who participated in Folks on Spokes] didn’t realize how far you could get around here by bike.”

Westfall said the longer rides go from Kaneland Blackberry Creek Elementary School to Kaneland John Stewart Elementary School, at 817 Prairie Valley St., Elburn.

Area voting groups urge candidates to participate in forum

By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com Members of the League of Women Voters in Kane, DuPage and McHenry counties are uniting to assemble local politicians for a public forum before the November general elections.

Each year, local leagues of the nonpartisan group bring incumbents and candidates running for those seats together in a public forum to answer questions from moderators and residents.

While candidates for local school boards and councils overwhelmingly attend, many running for state and federal offices don’t come, Gail Kalinich of the Glen Ellyn League said.

“It’s not too much to ask for from candidates,” she said. “It’s a job interview. ... This is a critical time for our state and our country.”

As leagues across the area geared up for the 2016 round of forums, leaders of the groups began talking among themselves and sharing their frustrations.

Kalinich said some were even considering not holding a forum this year, as previous installments have been slowed by League-wide rule against forums for unchallenged seats and an-

Patti Lackman, voter service chairman of the league in central Kane County, said both voters and those not in power lost out when public discourse was cut short.

“With the League’s empty chair debate policy, the person that is the incumbent has nothing to lose by not showing up, and it severely handicaps the challenger because they can’t par-

This year, the leagues representing Central Kane County, Glen Ellyn, Wheaton, Naperville, Elmhurst, Palatine, Downers Grove, Woodridge, Lisle and McHenry County decided they would use their collective clout to accumulate as many candidates as possible to speak Oct. 16 to the public at a joint forum in Glen Ellyn.

Alexander’s Cafe celebrates ribbon cutting

NEWS |

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – This spring, Aidan Meadows, a junior at Batavia High School working toward achieving Eagle Scout rank, approached the Batavia Park District with an idea for a project.

He is following up with a community gathering set for Sept. 28.

After visiting the Bark Park at West Main Community Park numerous times with his dog, Cadet, Meadows came up with the idea to develop a master plan for the park “to make it a better, more fun experience for both humans and dogs,” Meadows stated in the release.

He has been in the Boy Scouts since first grade, and currently is with Troop 6 in Batavia. As part of achieving the highest rank in scouting, he must complete an Eagle Scout project tailored toward improving, helping and benefiting the community, the release stated.

The Bark Park Master Plan will include a new and improved blueprint for the park. Part of the process will involve getting input from the community, and Meadows hopes to do that at a public meeting at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 28 at The Lodge at Laurelwood, 1 S. Logan St., the release stated.

“I want to gain insight into what the community would desire at the Bark Park,” he stated in the release.

Meadows also plans to work closely with his scout troop as well as staff at the Batavia Park District to help translate the public input into a plan on paper, the release stated.

Visit bataviaparks.org for information about the project.

• FORUM

Continued from page 30 So far, Kalinich said, it has been a success, gaining RSVPs from the vast majority of candidates in contested seats in the districts in their area.

Those that don’t get back to the various leagues in time for the scheduled forum will be hearing from the hundreds of members therein, Lackman said.

“We can only hope there is power in numbers,” she said. “We don’t care what party they’re in, we just care if they show up.”

The Oct. 15 forum will be held in an unscheduled location in Glen Ellyn.

Continued from page 27 Elburn resident Dawn Turner said this year was her first time participating. She and her friend Tracey Kloskowksi ride bikes together regularly. “[Tracey] has a daughter in the band at Kaneland,” Turner said.

People of all ages gathered for this event, even young children. Connor Anderson of Elburn participated in Folks on Spokes alongside his dad. Together, the two completed the 10-mile bike ride.

Westfall is Anderson’s guitar teacher.

“I just hope to have a nice ride and be safe,” Connor Anderson said of the event.

Although final facts and figures are still being calculated, Westfall estimates the event this year raised more than $1,000. All money is raised through registration fees. Although being able to help such a great cause is one of Westfall’s favorite parts of Folks on Spokes, he said there’s a lot more to love about the event.

“I can go on a bike ride any day of the year, but there’s something special about going with a group of other people that gives you a sense of small-town pride,” Westfall said.

Although he has to travel a little bit to get to the Aurora campus, Sugar Grove resident Ryan Andrzejewski has been impressed with what he’s seen in just a few weeks. The 2016 Kaneland High School graduate hopes to someday become a paramedic.

“This really is a perfect fit for me. I couldn’t ask for anything more for the program and the training,” he said.

“It’s close to where I live, it’s affordable. I really lucked out.”

Since the students will ultimately spend their careers working in emergency situations, the importance of training being as thorough as possible is something that’s heavily emphasized.

“We want this to be as close to the real world as possible,” Montgomery said. “If we didn’t have this kind of space we couldn’t have an ambulance like this, and we use the exact bags and cots you’d use in an ambulance today.

They’ll cut seat belts to get mannequins out of cars and they’ll feel the pulse on them and put oxygen in them. There are a lot of real-world simulations that we can do a whole lot better now.”

The EMT lab is just one of several labs that are now a part of the campus as programs are offered for future EMTs, medical assistants, nurses,

The other labs include a medical assistant and phlebotomy lab designed to simulate a medical office, registered nursing lab with two simulation rooms to recreate hospital and emergency room scenarios, certified nurse assistant lab and a classroom featuring six hospital beds and a simulated restroom for training. A surgical technology lab allows for handson, realistic experience with current equipment and procedures.

“It’s really nice and a lot of nursing students will do clinicals right within these areas,” college spokeswoman Kate Matty said. “There’s also a lot of retirement and senior living areas nearby [for student] clinicals, so that works out pretty well.”

The renovations also allowed for expanded student resources, including tutoring, a library and testing services.

“The faculty has been thrilled with how the new space works,” Matty said.

“They’re trying to provide more handson learning and this definitely allows for that. We had some employers walk through already and they were really impressed to see how much it really does mimic a real work setting.”

A tour and open house, which will include a variety of family-friendly activities, has been scheduled for Oct. 22.

Debbie Dudek (left) and Joe Masonic, both of Elgin, rally Sept. 13 in Elgin to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline and to support the Standing Rock Sioux in their opposition to the pipeline’s construction.

ABOVE: Ralph DeMott of Batavia protests Sept. 13 at a rally in Elgin in support of the Standing Rock Sioux, who oppose construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. DeMott also opposes an Illinois pipeline, Enbridge, that would connect to the Dakota Access Pipeline.

DeMott’s sign stating, “Say no to Enbridge,” referred to a 168-mile-long pipeline project in Southern Illinois, according to its website, www.enbridge. com.

“What they’re doing is going to connect to Enbridge,” DeMott said of the Dakota pipeline project.

DeMott said he is a mem-

ber of Fox Valley Citizens for Peace and Justice, one of the groups that organized the rally.

Jane Duffy and Kathie Ligon, both of Elgin, held a sign stating “Respect native land, no pipeline,” as cars and trucks honked their horns and drivers held thumbs up in solidarity.

“I’m here in support of the native people, the Standing Rock Sioux, and to stop the pipeline that is proposed to go through their lands,” Duffy said. “I’m opposed to that happening there and in other places in this country.”

We are also concerned about the environment, Ligon

said.

“Not only in Elgin and Illinois, but all across the country,” Ligon said. “I don’t think enough is being done.”

Debbie Dudek, also of Elgin, said the protest is also to steer the nation away from relying on fossil fuels.

“And we need to stand up for Standing Rock, the tribes that are having their lands used for a pipeline,” Dudek said. “We need to get off of fossil fuels and learn how to live in a different way.”

Dakota Access is a subsidiary of Energy Transfer Partners LP, a Texas-based company, that owns 71,000 miles of natural gas, natural gas

liquids, refined products, and crude oil pipelines, according to its website, www.energytransfer.com. It services producers and consumers of natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil, and refined products, the website states.

In a news release on its website, www.daplpipelinefacts.com, a study by Strategic Economics Group concluded that the Dakota Access Pipeline will bring nearly $2 billion in tax revenue and jobs to the states along the pipeline route.

The project would create 33,000 jobs for one year, and 142 additional full-time jobs, the release stated.

ELGIN – A protest by the Standing Rock Sioux in North Dakota against the Dakota Access Pipeline sparked support from those in Kane County, as a group of 40 people with signs and banners held a rally in Elgin on Sept. 13.

The 1,172-mile pipeline, costing $3.8 billion to build, would transport 470,000 to 570,000 barrels of light crude oil daily from North Dakota’s Bakken/Three Forks formations through North and South Dakotas, Iowa, and ending in Downstate Patoka, Illinois, according to its website, www. daplpinefacts.com.

But as the pipeline construction began in North Dakota, the Standing Rock Sioux and other tribes protested to block it, saying the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers did not consult them before approving the project, according to a federal lawsuit.

In the court filing, the Standing Rock Sioux argued that the pipeline would damage or destroy sites of historic, cultural and religious significance.

The lawsuit also states the tribe’s concern for its water supply in the event of an oil spill, as the pipeline would cross underneath Lake Oahe – a dammed section of the Missouri River – which is half a mile upstream of the Sioux reservation.

“Water is sacred to the Standing Rock people, as is the Missouri River itself,” the lawsuits states.

As the protest in North Dakota expanded, the environmental group, 350 dot org reported 200 similar rallies and protests in solidarity – including the Elgin event where Ralph DeMott of Batavia participated.

“We’ve got to keep the fossil fuels in the ground,” DeMott said. “Global warming is going to make our planet uninhabitable for us. People don’t realize how dangerous it is. I mean, we have all these floods now. And we have continual fires out west and heat waves.

People should wake up.”

New research published in the journal, “Nature,” shows that leaving fossil fuels buried

MARY T. HARRIS

Born: May 16, 1930 Died: September 19, 2016 Mary T. Harris, 86, of Batavia, passed away peacefully on Monday, September 19, 2016 at Michaelsen Health Center.

Mary was born in Grand Falls, New Brunswick Canada on May 16, 1930, the daughter of Herbert and Louise (nee LeClerc) Tait, and was the youngest of eight children. Mary was united in marriage to Jerry D. Harris on May 30, 1959, at Loring Air Force Base, Maine.

Together with Jerry, Mary lovingly raised four children in the home she loved so much on Union Avenue. The memories of those happy years sustained her during the last few years that slowly grew more

difficult. Mary was an active member of Holy Cross for many years and always enjoyed working the bazaars and barn sales. She was a proud member of the Batavia Historical Society and for a time, volunteered at the Depot Museum where she loved to greet people and tell them about the town she came to love and call home.

Mary had many special friends in Batavia and always made a point to gather with them to share a good meal, which wasn’t complete until the pie was cut and the kettle was on the stove.

Despite her Canadian heritage, Mary wasn’t a fan of the cold and in later years escaped the winters by heading south to Florida where she could enjoy the warm sunshine while Jerry sat in the shade. One of her greatest joys was spending time with her six grandchildren. She held each of them as infants and enjoyed seeing them all grow to be taller than “grandma.”

Time spent with family and friends is what she treasured.

Mary is survived by her four children, Barbara Harris of Gurnee, William (Tracey) Harris of DeKalb, Michele (Eric) Nelson of Yorktown, Virginia, and Geoffrey (Dawn) Harris of Canyon Lake, Texas; six grandchildren, Spencer and Carter Harris, Claire, Sam and Alex Nelson, Joshua Harris; and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her dearest, Jerry; and all of her siblings.

The family will receive friends from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM on Thursday, September 22, 2016 at Moss Family Funeral Home, 209 S. Batavia Avenue, Batavia, IL. Funeral services will begin with prayers at 10:00 AM, Friday, September 23, 2016 at Moss Family Funeral Home, before proceeding to Holy Cross Catholic Church, 2300 West Main Street, Batavia to celebrate Mass at 10:30 AM. Entombment will follow at Resurrection Cemetery, Geneva, IL.

Joining clubs at community colleges can be tough

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

BEFORE THE DIPLOMA Denise Cartina I can undoubtedly find a club or two at Waubonsee that relate to my interests and hobbies, but my schedule will not allow it.

In all of my four years of high school, I was mainly involved in one club called Interact Club, a volunteer/ community service club. I was even the vice president my senior year. In this club, we volunteered at various events and places. We worked with several different organizations as well.

This club allowed me to give back to the community in a positive way. I met many new people, and, as vice presi-

dent, the position allowed me to take on new responsibilities and break out of my comfort zone.

I always desired to join a club in college that was similar to Interact Club.

While I am sure there is a club like it available at Waubonsee, I’m unable to join.

In high school, I was able to join clubs because I didn’t work two jobs at the time and my coursework was not as heavy as it is now. Many other Waubonsee students (and any community college students in general) probably feel my pain.

While most Waubonsee students only attend the college for about two years, many students may feel like it is a waste of time to join a club for such a short amount of time. Moreover, most community college students do not live

close to their schools, so it can be tiresome having to drive back and forth just to go to a club meeting or event.

Next year, when I hopefully transfer to a university, I will be living either on or around the university’s campus, so I’m looking forward to the day when I can join clubs and other activities because there will not be any commute.

Since I will be a transfer student, it will definitely be beneficial to join a few clubs to meet some new faces.

Ever since school began last month, Tuesdays have become my favorite days of the week. Tuesdays are my “early” school days.

Nothing beats getting up at 6 a.m. to attend an 8 a.m. class.

On a particular Tuesday morning after class was dismissed, some friends and I strolled through the Waubonsee campus and stumbled upon an involvement fair. In the middle of campus, there were about 20 tables set up against the sidewalks.

The people manning the tables were executive board members, leaders and presidents of certain clubs and activities available at Waubonsee.

I glanced at the tables filled with information on all sorts of clubs and activities, but I kept walking like the majority of other students.

We must remember the lives lost at the hands of others SPRINGFIELD – Is it possible to mourn the death of someone you never knew?

I’ve found myself doing that every Sept. 17 for the past 26 years.

Back in 1990, I was working as the night police reporter for another newspaper when I was dispatched to a fire at a school playground at 9 p.m.

I was one of the first on the scene. I walked to where I saw smoke rising from some tall weeds on the edge of the playground, looked down and was met with the body of a child that had been doused with gasoline and set on fire I staggered backwards, gasping for air. I could feel the bile rise in my throat and my knees go weak. It was the last thing I expected to find on a crisp, autumn evening in Davenport, Iowa.

I was there when the firefighters, detectives, medical examiner and a hoard of reporters arrived.

And I stood a few feet from the smoldering remains wondering: Who would do such a thing?

We later learned that the victim was Jennifer Ann Lewis, a pugnacious tomboy from Rock Island’s west end.

She was last seen going to buy some gum from a store.

She never came back.

Year after year, I’ve learned a bit more about this girl.

I’ve wondered what her life would have been like if she had lived.

A teacher’s aide told me how Lewis liked to twirl around in frilly dresses, hiking the hem higher and higher as she spun. Her best friend told me how they played with “My Little Ponies” together.

And her mother and I sat together for three hours as she recalled her daughter’s sweet disposition, how she loved her newborn baby brother and her dog, Bowser.

And each sentence was punctuated with only the tears a mother can shed.

The dark ripples of grief continue to spread from that

VIEWS Scott Reeder

We name bridges after politicians and streets after celebrities. But our collective recollection of children who die at the hands of others fades. night so many years ago.

Earlier this year, I decided to make it my mission to ensure that Lewis’ memory is never forgotten.

We name bridges after politicians and streets after celebrities. But our collective recollection of children who die at the hands of others fades.

That shouldn’t be the case.

I’m writing a book on the case. Each day, as I write, I’m met with the image of a bucktoothed smile and the unassuming brown eyes of a child who never turned 10.

That photo haunts me.

To this youngster, whom I’ve never met, I can only promise: Your memory will not be lost.

A trial is scheduled for February and a jury will decide whether Stanley Liggins, a man charged in her death, is guilty or not guilty.

But when I think of Lewis, I prefer to think of innocence.

I think of a child without guile who was raped, strangled and burned. I think of a youngster who ran down school hallways telling teachers and classmates alike about her upcoming birthday.

She just didn’t know that was the day she would be buried.

Our little suburban house on the prairie I’ve just come in from doing lawn work, as has my wife, Tia. We work separately to avoid any confusion as to who’s responsible for fetching lawn bags or pulling up recalcitrant thistles.

If we worked together, Tia might say, “We need to get lawn bags from the garage.”

“We do?” I might answer.

“Then let’s both go get them.”

Instead, I’d go fetch the lawn bags like she asked me to in marriage-speak.

Tia and I are not gardeners. To earn that moniker, you need to love dirt, plants, kneepads and eternally dirty fingernails. But we’ve done all right today. We sprayed on sunblock (UVA and UVB protection, SPF 11,000), wore hats with brims the size of manhole covers, and bugged neighbors into lending us needed paraphernalia.

Naturally, I did the chores that took muscles, the few that remain: sawed off a broken peach tree branch that split under ripening weight; mowed the South Forty (my name for our lawn, the size of

RIVER TOWN CHRONICLES Rick Holinger a box of Sudafed); and spread 150-pound bags of mulch marked incorrectly on the bags as 40-pounders. Then I headed inside for Ibuprofen to ward off the certain aches to follow me in along with flies, mosquitoes and bees.

Meanwhile, Tia weeded one of the six raised gardens our son, Jay, insisted we build when living with us before landing a job and moving to Chicago. Earlier this summer, I pulled thistles and Tia planted tomato vines in two beds and pumpkins in a third.

Aside from one basket of tomatoes and a few pumpkins no bigger than tennis balls, prairie took over.

At dinner, Tia and I agreed we did more yard work in one day than over the whole summer.

“Because it was cool today,” she said. “Or at least not 90 and humid.”

She’s right. The low 80s made working outside feel like the inside of a cryogenic chamber.

Which means a turning.

Other signs point that way as well: yellowing ferns, ivory lawns, crinkling leaves, Festival of the Vine and the Bears buckling in the second half.

Later, as we were clearing the table, I noticed small dirt clods peppering the floor that must have fallen off the soles of our sneakers.

“We’ll have to vacuum that up,” Tia said.

“That’ll be fun, doing it together,” I didn’t say. Instead, I went to the closet, just as I was asked. Some things stay the same, year round, no matter the season, no matter the weather.

And that’s just how I like it.

If lawmakers and the governor are to initiate positive change for the people of Illinois, the same spirit of bipartisanship we saw in June will be crucial in the coming months. I know that my Republican colleagues, as well as my colleagues from across the aisle, can come together in support of real, lasting solutions to reform our state.

KANE COUNTY PREPS ATHLETE OF THE WEEK NICK GARLISCH St. Charles East Junior | Football Why Garlisch was selected: Garlisch ran for two touchdowns and added an interception on defense to help secure St. Charles East’s win over rival St. Charles North.

St. Charles East junior wing back Nick Garlisch scored St. Charles East’s first two touchdowns in a 28-21 victory over St. Charles North on Sept. 16 as the Saints improved to 4-0. After the Saints took the lead in the third quarter, Garlisch intercepted a pass that led to the eventual game-winning touchdown. Garlisch, the Kane County Chronicle-St. Charles Bank & Trust Athlete of the Week, spoke with Kane County Chronicle correspondent Chris Casey about victory and more.

Casey: Was there a sense of panic amongst your team after falling behind 14-0 early?

Garlisch: North came out and I didn’t think we realized that they were a little bit bigger and faster than us, but then we came into our own and settled in. We

battled the way we know we had to do and came away with the win.

Casey: What does this win mean to your team?

Garlisch: It means everything. We aren’t done, but we came in with a lot of people doubting us. We know that we can play with any team in our conference and tonight showed that.

Casey: This week’s game could be the Upstate Eight Conference River Division championship against Batavia. What’s that going to be like?

Garlisch: We’re going to have the same mindset as we did against North.

We believe we’re the best team in the conference and if we can beat North, we can beat Batavia.

FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

Geneva football back on track with win against Streamwood Marmion battles back to stay undefeated on young season KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE STREAMWOOD – Geneva’s football team was in need of a bounceback effort against Streamwood on Sept. 16.

The Vikings got it.

After falling in a close game against Kaneland and being shut out

by St. Charles East the last two games, Geneva got back on track with a 35-7 win against the Sabres. In the process, the Vikings leveled their record at 2-2 overall and 1-1 in the Upstate Eight River.

Lance Arni punched the ball in from 1 yard out to cap a short drive and give the Vikings a 7-0 lead. When the Sabres tied the game with a long touchdown pass, Kyle Evert connected with Joshua Mansfield for a 71yard touchdown just three plays later for a 14-7 Geneva lead.

Arni added scoring runs of 22 and 5 yards in the second half, and Bob Murray found Luke Swanson for a 17yard touchdown to pad the lead.

Arni was the workhorse for the Vikings, rushing 33 times for 152 yards. Mansfield hauled in three passes for 97 yards, and Cole Campbell and Nick Miller each had two sacks on defense as Geneva held Streamwood to just 94 yards of offense aside from the Sabres’ touchdown drive.

Geneva will look to maintain its momentum Sept. 23 when it hosts Larkin for an Upstate Eight River game at 7:30 p.m. The Royals are coming off

a 46-12 win against downtrodden West Chicago.

Marmion 16, Bishop McNamara 10

KANKAKEE – Marmion found itself trailing 10-0 in the fourth quarter against defending Class 3A state champion Bishop McNamara.

It was the Cadets who showed the heart of a champion.

Brandon McPherson had a 15-yard touchdown run then connected with Anthony Zolfo for a 22-yard scoring pass, and Connor Hoeft added a 37yard field goal in the Cadets’ 16-10 win.

Marmion improved to 4-0 on the season as it prepares to hit the road to face another defending state champion. Montini, the 2015 Class 6A champs, will welcome the Cadets for a Chicago Catholic League Green game at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 23.

The Broncos sit at 1-3 and 0-1 in the CCL Green on the season and are coming off back-to-back lopsided losses against Fenwick (38-6 on Sept. 9) and Brother Rice (42-7 on Sept. 16).

Loyola 55, St. Francis 0

WILMETTE – Defending Class 8A state champion Loyola proved to be a tough test for the Spartans, who were shut out for the second straight game as they slipped to 0-4 on the season.

After back-to-back road games, St. Francis returns home to play De La Salle in a Chicago Catholic League Green game at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 23. The Meteors enter the game with a 4-0 record, although their opponents have combined for just two wins. Conversely, the Spartans’ opponents have combined to go 12-4 this season.

editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – Not one player that donned the St. Charles East road white football jerseys had forgotten what St. Charles North had done to them the past two seasons.

After two double-digit losses, East running back Nick Garlisch said the Sept. 16 contest against the North Stars had been circled on their calendars since the schedules came out.

East battled back from an early deficit on the road and defeated the North Stars 28-21 to remain unbeaten and win the first four games of the season for the first time since the St. Charles schools split in 2000.

“This was the game we have been thinking about since they beat us last year,” said Garlisch, who scored the first two touchdowns of game for East.

“We have had it up to look at in the weight room, and we have been waiting to get our revenge.”

Despite the confidence the Saints (4-0, 2-0 Upstate Eight River) had that they could go to North and take down a team many had picked as one of the UER favorites, they weren’t the ones with the quick start.

When North running back Eric Lins took the third play from scrimmage for a 72-yard touchdown before adding a 2-yard score to give the North Stars (31, 1-1) a 14-0 advantage at the 5:54 mark of the first quarter, it was a wake-up call for the Saints.

A game that could have quickly gotten out of hand turned in East’s favor when Lucas Segobiano fumbled on North’s third possession, which allowed the Saints and quarterback Zach Mitchell to have a short field to work with. Garlisch’s first touchdown came three plays after the fumble – a 6-yard scamper.

“Before the game, we used the word resilience a lot,” Mitchell said. “We knew if they came out and punched us in the mouth, we would have to punch them right back. We kept that in our minds and didn’t get down. I think we were nervous after preparing all week and then the game was finally here. We knew we had a good game plan and if we trusted it, we would be successful.”

Another momentum-swinging play came when Clayton Isbell, a player East coach Bryce Farquhar calls “a very special player,” made his impact.

Isbell fielded a punt at his own 40-yard

St. Charles East’s Clayton Isbell (left) tries to shake off St. Charles North’s Chad Reynolds on Sept. 16 in a game played at North. The Saints overcame an early deficit and held on for a 28-21 win.

“This was the game we have been thinking about since they beat us last year. We have had it up to look at in the weight room, and we have been waiting to get our revenge.”

Nick Garlisch, St. Charles East running back line and returned it to the North 10, setting up a 7-yard touchdown run by Garlisch to tie the score before halftime.

After a fast start, quarterback Zach Mettetal and the North offense found little rhythm for the remainder of the first half.

“You got to give it to [East],” said Lins, who finished with 129 yards on 15 carries. “They played a great allaround game and they executed almost to perfection. They ran their offense like they wanted to, and you have to give credit where credit is due.”

East had the chance to take a threepoint lead when it was faced with a fourth-and-2 from North’s 5-yard line in that tie game. Instead, Farquhar kept it in the hands of a guy he’s entrusted with his entire triple-option offense, as Mitchell kept it for a touchdown and a 21-14 lead.

The senior’s touchdown run capped an 11-play drive that took 7:26 off the clock.

The Saints didn’t stop there as Garlisch and Isbell teamed up for a couple of big plays following that score. After North’s 65-yard completion to the East 2-yard line was called back for a holding penalty, the Garlisch intercepted Mettetal (141 passing yards, one touchdown) on the next play. Mitchell then threw one of his five pass attempts on the night up for grabs to Isbell, who brought it down for a 33-yard gain.

Fullback Justin Jett pounded it in for a touchdown shortly after to give East a 28-14 lead with less than a minute to play in the third quarter.

Although Mettetal was able to pull North within 28-21 on a 15-yard toss to Adam Durocher (seven receptions, 90 yards) with 9:16 to play, time was not in the North Stars’ favor. Trying to get the ball back against a triple-option team like the Saints proved to be too much.

With one chance to stop East and get

The Rams have been outscored 115-45 and have been held to single digits in three games this season. the ball back, with enough time to put a drive together, Farquhar drew up a reverse to Justin Galante, his only carry of the game, for 32 yards.

North did get the ball back with 10 seconds remaining, but the final buzzer sounded, sealing the win for East – the Saints’ 11th in 17 meetings between the two programs.

“The kids deserve this,” Farquhar said. “It’s honestly a programwide effort. From our players to coaches, everyone has worked hard to give this team a chance to be successful and here we are. There’s still a lot of work to do and a lot of things to clean up, but we’re happy with the way [it] went.”

When asked if he views the Week 5 matchup against Batavia – a team that is currently riding a 34-game UER winning streak – as the early conference championship, the East coach wasn’t going to commit to anything.

“You never want to look at a game at this point in the season like that, but it’s certainly our toughest game of the season,” he said. “I think Batavia is the best team in the conference. They haven’t lost a conference game in quite a while, so that’s the trophy up on the mantle right there … that’s what everyone wants.”

Bulldogs win big in opener on new field

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Matthew Huizinga made sure Batavia football fans didn’t have to wait long for a highlight as the Bulldogs debuted their new turf field.

Huizinga caught the opening kickoff and took it 92 yards for a touchdown that was the opening salvo in the Bulldogs’ 48-0 win against Elgin on Sept. 16.

“I was set to go left and I saw Connor [Oroni] and Dana [Anderson] pancake someone so there was a hug opening, so I just took off,” the senior said. “It was beautiful blocking. It’s all thanks to them.”

It was the kind of performance Huizinga and his teammates were hoping to have as they finally got to don full pads for the hometown fans and show off their new field to the masses.

“We’ve waiting a very long time to play on this field,” Huizinga said.

“Practice has been nice and then our first game felt very nice. It’s a very nice thing to have. We’re grateful for it.”

The clock read 11:56 left in the first quarter when Huizinga entered the end zone. Either there was a slight snafu with the time keeping or Huizinga exceeded the pace of world champion sprinter Usain Bolt.

“He’s one of fastest people in the world, four seconds in the 100 meters,” said Dennis Piron, Batavia’s football and boys track coach. “He’s pretty quick. I keep bugging him about track, so maybe he’ll come out this year.”

Huizinga’s return touchdown provided some early fireworks, and the Bulldogs exploded for two more touchdowns in the first quarter.

After an Elgin punt, Riley Cooper connected with Thomas Stuttle for a 50yard pass that set up Reggie Phillips’ 6-yard scoring run at the 8:04 mark of the first quarter.

Johnny Walsh, who before the game was introduced as homecoming king, picked off an Elgin pass, and on the next play Huizinga took a lateral pass from Cooper and went 13 yards for a score that made it 20-0 with 4:45 left in the first.

Phillips (13-yard run), Stuttle (24yard pass from Cooper) and Huizinga (24-yard pass from Ben Weerts) scored touchdowns in the second quarter for a 41-0 halftime lead.

Stuttle’s touchdown came after three stellar defensive plays. Andrew Heinz and Quintin Caithamer had back-to-back sacks before Jake Robinson blocked a punt. Robinson blocked another punt before Huizinga’s second-quarter touchdown.

In addition to it being homecoming

Batavia’s Matthew Huizinga finds space to operate Sept. 16 as he takes the opening kickoff for a touchdown against Elgin. Huizinga went 92 yards for the score on the first play on Batavia’s new field.

week and the debut of the new playing surface, Piron was inducted into Batavia’s Hall of Honor. It was an additional distraction the Bulldogs capably handled.

“With homecoming there’s a lot of distractions, but the kids were great,” Piron said. “I had a lot going on with the school with the Hall of Honor thing, so I appreciated them kind of putting up with some extra things.

“I’m proud if them. It’s an opponent they know is struggling a little bit and trying their best, but we wanted to play a clean game and try not to punt if we didn’t have to. Keep the ball moving with plays we thought we could get, and the kids did a good job executing those plays when we ended to execute.”

The first play of the fourth quarter was the exclamation point on the game. Weerts found Jeremiah Evers on a short crossing route, and Evers took it 12 yards for the final score.

Evers had 62 yards rushing, and Anderson (28 yards), Phillips (25 yards), Elijah Green (24 yards) and Huizinga (14 yards) figured prominently in the run game.

The Bulldogs efficiently racked up 296 yards of offense in the game while holding Elgin to just 14 yards of total offense and four first downs.

“Our defense and our offense started the season young, so they’re learning,” Piron said. “We had some young kids on both sides of the ball, and each week we’ve gotten better and grown a little bit. The first two games were

(2-0)

quality opponents and forced us to find ourselves a little bit.”

Batavia improved to 4-0 overall and 2-0 in the Upstate Eight River with the win, but the football team was not the first BHS varsity squad to play a game on the new field. The boys soccer team faced Elgin before the football game and fell 4-2.

After getting a glimpse of home, the football team will hit the road to face St. Charles East in a matchup of undefeated teams.

“St. Charles East is a very good team,” Huizinga said. “We’re going to treat it like a state championship game, so we’re going to be working hard to get ready.”

The 4-0 start is impressive, but Piron knows the level of difficulty will only increase for his team as the season goes on.

“I’m very proud of where we’re at. Now we’re coming up against [St. Charles] East, which is very much improved and looks fantastic, and then we’re going to have to play Geneva, which is our big rival, then a very good South Elgin team and North,” the coach said. “We’re hitting the meat of our schedule right now, so we better be ready to play.”

Batavia’s Scara lands with ISU soccer

By JASON ROSSI

Batavia senior goalkeeper Jenny Scara will play for the Redbirds after recently committing to play soccer at Illinois State University after her commitment to State University of New York – Binghamton was not honored.

jrossi@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Give credit to Jenny Scara for being wise beyond her years.

The Batavia senior, who is a goalkeeper for the girls soccer team, made a commitment to play college soccer at State University of New York – Binghamton in August of 2015, but when the Bearcats made a coaching change, the new coach chose not to honor her commitment.

While a disappointing development, Scara took a pragmatic view of the situation.

“It was a bad situation, but there was nothing I could do about it,” Scara said. “[New Binghamton coach Neel Bhattacharjee] is in New York and he probably didn’t have the time to come see me play.”

In the end, everything worked out for Scara as she recently committed to play at Illinois State starting next season.

After she found out she would not have a future at Bingham-

ton, Scara started contacting other college coaches. She was in contact with ISU, Ball State and Northern Iowa as she looked for a new scholarship offer.

“I definitely didn’t want to stop playing soccer,” Scara said.

Chicago Steel hockey drops puck Sept. 24 KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE GENEVA – The up-close action and speed of Chicago’s top-tier junior hockey league hits the ice Sept. 24 when the Chicago Steel hits begin the 2016-17 season.

The Steel play in the U.S. Hockey League, the only Tier I junior hockey league in the United States.

The Steel will face off against the Green Bay Gamblers at 7:05 p.m. at the Fox Valley Ice Arena. Tickets start at $10 and include free parking. A complimentary Steel replica youth jersey will be given to the first 500 kids 14 years old and younger in attendance.

This season is the Steel’s second at FVIA and 17th season in the USHL and includes several games with special promotions. Dogs are welcome

Know more For tickets, a complete schedule and more information about the Chicago Steel, visit chicagosteelhockey team.com. for Pups and Pucks on Oct. 8, and fans can litter the ice with plush toys for the Teddy Bear Toss on Dec. 10.

Fans also can take the ice for Skate with the Steel after the games Dec. 30 and March 26, and the Steel will celebrate the 25th anniversary of “Wayne’s World” on Jan. 28 before hosting Military Appreciation Night on Feb. 3.

Visit chicagosteelhockeyteam.com to view the complete season schedule, to buy tickets and to check out the full list of promotional nights.

The coaches from ISU, UNI and Ball State came to watch Scara play in the spring, and she visited the campuses over the summer, including an Aug. 25 stop at ISU, which sold her on the Redbirds.

“I watched a game and stayed with my friend [and former Batavia player] Megan McEachern in her dorm room, and it was awesome,” Scara said. “All the girls on the team were really nice and I like the

way the team plays.”

While the recruiting process was a little rocky, Scara should have little trouble adapting to ISU. In addition to McEachern, St. Charles North graduate Lauren Koehl and Geneva graduate Megan Kozlow also represent the Tri-Cities area schools at ISU. Like Scara, Koehl and ISU midfielder Joyce Abby played club ball at Strikers Fox Valley.

“Knowing someone there will make me a little more confident and comfortable going into a situation like that,” Scara said.

Scara still has another high school season coming up in the spring, but she is already working hard to improve for the college game.

“I want to get as good as I can before I get there because I know if I get really good now, it’s only going to go up from there,” Scara said. “Their [goalkeeper] coach [Sarah Tompkins] is great and she’s excited to train me.”

Bootleggers provides flavorful kick in Maple Park

By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com MAPLE PARK – Whether it’s the culinary school graduate in the kitchen, the devotion to farm-fresh beef and vegetables, or the hosts’ heralded hospitality, Bootleggers has a winning recipe in Maple Park.

The casual restaurant and bar is owned by Donna and Tony Harrington, who just celebrated the fifth anniversary of their business.

Patrons know that Friday nights at Bootleggers are something special, with a variety of dishes served in addition to the regular menu.

“We do either filet mignons or we do strip steaks or rib eyes,” Donna Harrington said, adding that one of the most popular draws is the Friday night pot roast dinner and what becomes of any leftovers on Saturday.

“We shred it – [with its] potatoes, a little onion, carrots and gravy – warm it and put it on tomato focaccia buns and add mozzarella and then toast it.”

Bootleggers also is known for mac ’n’ cheese with ham and for homemade potato chips. Donna Harrington said a favorite appetizer is the “half-naked cheese curds,” which are very lightly breaded so the flavor of the cheese comes through.

“We try to do as much homemade stuff as we can,” she said, adding they make the most of the small kitchen by keeping the menu focused.

Tony Harrington said they order a whole cow from local Foster Farms every six to eight weeks.

It’s the source of all the restaurant’s beef with the exception of the Italian beef, Donna Harrington added, noting that the beef is hormone-free.

She said the customers are impressed by that and the quality of the meat.

“We sell a ton of burgers; they come from the fresh beef,” she said.

“Our signature burger is the boot burger – with cheddar cheese, bacon and a fried egg on top. People come just for that and will never order anything else but that Boot Burger.

That’s what they want.”

“We try to use things that are good for the season [and] buy most of our produce fresh from Wiltse’s [Farm in Maple Park],” she said. “We have a lot of fans.”

The large selection of made-fromscratch soups is another hit, she said, crediting the new cook’s fine dining experience. Varieties range from a cream of mushroom to a light tomato soup with crumbled Italian sausage, tomatoes and fresh basil.

A long-running staple is Bootleggers’ “very thin-crust” pizza prepared to order after 5 p.m., and 4 p.m.

Sundays. They freeze a few for folks who can’t resist them earlier in the day. Before buying the restaurant and bar, the Harringtons, who moved near

town in 1989, already were known for their pizza.

Donna Harrington said she grew up in Elburn and worked in a coffee shop as a kid, while her husband is from Duluth, Minn., where he worked in restaurants for years.

“He always wanted to own a family-oriented restaurant,” she said. “We like to see families, see all the little kids and watch them all grow. We do have a lot of families that come in. We get a lot of the baseball teams after games.”

Last year, the couple completed a beer garden with a brick patio, umbrellas for shade and bag boards.

In addition to picnic tables, there are custom-made high-top tables with comfy chairs made by a Cortland resident from recycled milk jugs. It fits 50 people comfortably, Donna Harrington said.

Bootleggers is open every day except Tuesday at 107 Main St., Maple Park. Visit http://shawurl.com/2u6d or call 815-827-3066 for information.

Elburn woman’s dresses on display at Smithsonian

By SUZANNE FLYNN editorial@kcchronicle.com ELBURN – When Kathleen Marsh was 10 years old, her fifth-grade class was going on a field trip to Washington, D.C. Her parents could afford to send her on the trip, but they couldn’t afford to buy her new clothes. Marsh made a new dress for herself so that she could get her picture taken in front of the Capitol building. She also made herself new pajamas – all with her mother’s help. This sparked Marsh’s love of sewing. “[The] dress for my D.C. trip was not an easy task,” Marsh said. “It was a two-piece, blue floral, elastic-waist skirt with a button-down blouse. It was a very difficult first pattern to sew.”

But Marsh said learning these skills was important, in order for her to continue sewing in the future – especially learning how to work with the buttonholes and the elastic.

Marsh took home economics classes when she was in high school in St. Charles. She was the teacher’s helper and would help the other students thread their needles, and assist with sewing machine troubles. Wraparound dresses were popular at the time.

Marsh said she made them for herself and many girlfriends – “just for fun.”

Once Marsh was married, she said she enjoyed making baby clothes for her children.

She loved buying different types of fabric for different projects, she said.

“A fabric store is like a candy store for me,” Marsh said. “All the colors and fabrics are like my candy.”

Although she has made a few quilts over the years, Marsh said she mostly makes clothes and “just likes to help people.”

She has altered many prom dresses, wedding dresses, nurse’s uniforms, flags, kilts – even rabbit costumes and more.

Marsh lived in Arkansas for several years, where she opened her own sewing business called Kathy’s Sewing Corner. She worked out of a designated room in her log cabin home at night and on the weekends, around her fulltime job as a certified nurse’s assistant. She completed work for residents from five different counties surrounding her home in Horseshoe Bend.

“One day, out of the blue, the owner of Gray’s Custom Saddlery called me to ask me if I would make two dresses for a mother and daughter who are Cherokee Indians,” Marsh said. “They had come to him because he owned a leather shop, but he only made saddles and not clothes, so he immediately thought of me.”

These two women, Mary Worthen and her daughter, Kristy Worthen, commissioned Marsh to make leather dresses to help them celebrate their Native American heritage. They were marching in a parade to celebrate the grand opening of the Smithsonian Institute’s National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C.,

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.

Grandma wore wooden shoes. She lived with Grandpa in a little brick house at the end of a little shady street in Batavia. Grandpa loved to grow things. He tended a big strawberry patch and a small backyard vineyard of purple grapes. Grandpa wore wooden shoes, too.

On Sundays, though, Grandma would put on her leather shoes, go out to Grandpa’s garden to cut buckets of flowers to fill the vases on the altar at church. But, the moment she arrived home, back into her wooden shoes she slipped.

Wooden shoes were home. Before she was my grandma, Karin Kristina Gustafsson lived a hard farm life in Sweden. In 1923, when she was l8, she sailed to America because she heard it was the land of opportunity. It was excruciating to say goodbye to her mother, dad and siblings – especially her youngest sister.

Little Alma was only 5 years old.

But, Grandma was brave and strong, and she got on that big ship to sail to a place she knew nothing about. She waved to her family as the ship pulled away from the harbor. She vowed to come home within five years. She didn’t know she would never see her parents

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – More than 300 runners and walkers are expected to participate in the Harvest Hustle 5K, an evening fall run Sept. 24 that starts at Peck Farm Park, 4038 Kaneville Road, Geneva.

This is the 11th annual Harvest Hustle, Geneva Park District spokeswoman Traci Wicks said.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for people of all ages to come together, get outside and enjoy a fun-filled evening at Peck Farm Park,” Wicks said in an email.

“Harvest Hustle is a challenging fall run around scenic Peck Farm Park,” Wicks said in the email. “It offers both a twilight and all-terrain component – which is unique, as most 5Ks this time of year are offered in the

morning and are generally on paved paths.”

The Harvest Hustle is from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., and the course offers both paved and nonpaved trails for runners and walkers alike to compete for their best time, Wicks said.

All participants will receive a complimentary beverage and Chick-fil-A sandwich as well as a participation medal. Additional food and beverages will be available for purchase.

Awards will be given to the overall top male and female finishers, and the top male and female finisher in each age category also will be recognized.

All proceeds for this event benefit the Geneva Park District scholarship fund that provides recreational opportunities for those in need.

About 150 participants have registered early, but more are expected on the day of the race, Wicks said.

Same-day registration begins at 4:30 p.m., and the cost is $39. Participants will receive shirts two weeks after the race. For the race only – without a T-shirt or participant bag – the fee is $20. To register online, visit www. genevaparks.org.

About 350 people participated last year, Wicks said.

“All the Park District staff pitch in to make this terrific event a success from the parks department,” Wicks said in the email.

“To prepping the trail and assisting with parking, to the recreation department for organizing the event and completing all registration – it is truly a team effort.”

Event sponsors are Chick-fil-A, Culligan, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Fox Valley Orthopedics, Geneva Bank & Trust, Geneva Running Outfitters, the Kane County Chronicle and The Chiropractic People.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Put prunes in small saucepan. Cover with water. Bring to

low boil and cook until soft, about 8 minutes.

Drain water and mash prunes on plate. It will be chunky.

Sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg.

In separate bowl, mix oil, sugar, vanilla and eggs.

Combine wet and dry ingredients and add buttermilk. Stir until just combined. Mixture will be a little lumpy. Add mashed prunes and chopped walnuts.

Pour into prepared baking pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Do not overbake.

While cake is baking, make icing: Combine sugar, buttermilk, butter, corn syrup, baking soda and vanilla in medium saucepan. Stir to combine.

Bring to slow boil over medium-high heat. No need to stir. Continue boiling until icing turns light caramel color, but not yet firm and sticky as it needs to be able to pour.

Pull cake out of oven. While cake is still very warm, pour icing evenly over top. Serve warm or at room temperature.

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose and how each of them manages their feelings around Sophie’s parentage in the days leading up to Sophie’s wedding. Having discovered her mother’s diary, written during a particularly steamy ’70s summer, Sophie decides to invite an additional three guests to her nuptials, any of whom could be her father. Her longing to know who she is, and her mother’s longing not to revisit those tender feelings, makes for some tense and touching moments in a super show filled with fabulous performances.

Amy Montgomery stars as Donna Sheridan, and Kiersten Frumkin as Sophie Sheridan. Interestingly, Holly and I both preferred this cast’s renditions to ABBA’s original megahits.

As per usual, the stellar stylings of the Paramount orchestra did not disappoint, and the staging, choreography and costumes (those ubiquitous sequins!) all shined.

This show’s not to be missed, not that I would have. Several years ago, my mom and I watched the film adaptation (starring Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan and Amanda Seyfried, released in 2008), and I couldn’t wait to share it with my daughter. Sure enough, the story still makes for a perfect mother-daughter date. And it’s not a bad conversation

starter, either, if you catch my drift.

“Mamma Mia!” is rated PG (oh, you know, there’s that whole “three lovers in one summer” thing) and runs through Oct. 30. Tickets are $44 to $59 and may be purchased at ParamountAurora.com, by calling 630-896-6666, or by stopping by the Paramount box office, open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and two hours before evening performances. Don’t miss it! And don’t forget your tambourine.

Holly and I were on hand for the Paramount Theatre’s recent press opening of the musical “Mamma Mia!” and, WOW, what a show! And, wow, what a lot of sequins! This show is a ton of fun. Yes, I embarrassed my daughter as I sang along to every song.

(I’m no “Dancing Queen,” but you know it, I got up and danced, too.)

We sang ’em all again later in the car on the way home as we enjoyed the ever-popular ABBA versions of each song, on which the original play (written by British playwright Catherine Johnson), which debuted in 1999, actually was based.

Set on an island in Greece, “Mamma Mia!” is the story of a young woman, Sophie, and her single mom,

62 Peripheral neuropathy has many causes Dear Dr. K: I have peripheral neuropathy.

I know that people with diabetes often get neuropathy, but I’m not diabetic. What else can cause this condition? And what can I do about it?

Dear Reader: Neuropathy is a medical term that means nerve damage. The type of nerve damage that people with diabetes get involves specific nerve fibers in all nerves, particularly the nerves that travel to the legs and feet. (There are other conditions in which a single nerve leading to the legs and feet is pinched, causing pain. An example is what is often called a “slipped disk” or “herniated disk” in the lower part of the spine.)

The symptoms of peripheral neuropathy include numbness and tingling. Some cases cause burning, shooting or stabbing pain.

When the doctor does a physical examination and touches your feet and lower legs with something as light as a feather (like some cotton), you may not feel it. However, you will feel it if the cotton touches your skin in the thigh or elsewhere on the body. You may also lose sensation to a pinprick in the lower legs and feet, but not the rest of you.

Diabetes is the most common cause of peripheral neuropathy. But neuropathy can result from other causes as well. These include: • Excessive alcohol intake.

• Hypothyroidism. In this condition, the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone.

• Amyloidosis, a disease in which an abnormal protein accumulates in the body.

• Vitamin deficiencies, particularly vitamin B1, B12 and folate deficiency.

• Infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

• Critical illness, particularly if you develop a severe inflammatory response to infection.

• Guillain-Barre syndrome. This uncom-

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff mon autoimmune disorder damages the peripheral nerves.

• Chemotherapy cancer treatment.

Diagnosing peripheral neuropathy is best done by electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS). Such testing often is not necessary, as your symptoms, your medical history and your doctor’s physical examination make the diagnosis likely.

Treatment of peripheral neuropathy begins with treating the underlying cause of the condition. For example, let’s say your neuropathy is related to heavy drinking. You should severely restrict, or better yet abstain, from alcohol. If your neuropathy is caused by hypothyroidism, treatment with replacement doses of thyroid hormone should help.

The other goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms. In particular, treatment targets pain caused by peripheral neuropathy.

Several medications can help. Gabapentin, an anticonvulsant medication, is usually effective. Tricyclic antidepressants can also effectively relieve pain.

Finally, while neuropathy itself causes pain, it (strangely enough) reduces sensitivity to pain caused by outside injuries. This makes you particularly vulnerable to foot damage. If you develop a cut or sore on your foot, without pain to alert you, you may not even notice the injury. Untreated, a simple wound may become severely infected. To prevent this, carefully check your feet every day and treat any foot injury immediately.

PUZZLE SOLUTION

CROSSWORD PUZZLE ANSWERS

ter in Iowa Dear Anti-Clutter: Probably not much at this

point. But I can offer this insight. The tendency to do what your husband is doing is a sign of OCD, an anxiety disorder. For your husband, letting go of things he “may” want to look at “sometime” can be emotionally upsetting. A doctor might be able to help your husband, but that would necessitate your husband admitting that what he has been doing is causing a problem.

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

Dr. Wallace: I’ve got a huge problem. Actually, the problem belongs to my mother, but I’m the one suffering from it.

My parents were divorced over four years ago and I live alone with my mom. It was a very bitter divorce and my dad has moved to another state and has remarried.

I haven’t seen or heard from my dad since the divorce and it’s because the divorce was very bitter and my mother hates my dad. She has not allowed me to have any visits or phone calls from him.

I don’t mean to paint my mom as a selfish monster, because the opposite is true. She was a single mother ever since the divorce and has done a super job in raising me.

The problem is that I’m 17 and will be graduating from high school next June. I think it’s time that I should be allowed to have a father-daughter relationship with my dad.

I love my father. Before the divorce were very close and I miss him. I see my grandmother (my Dad’s mother) once in a while and she always tells me that my father misses me and loves me. I do have his address and phone number and I really want to contact him. My problem is that I’m afraid that if my mom finds out, she will be very angry and create a major scene.

I will be living at home the rest of this school year and next summer, but I plan to live on campus when I attend the University of Oregon in Eugene next fall. What do you think I should do? – Nervous, Portland, Ore. Nervous: Wait until after you graduate from high school before telling Mom about your plans -- that you’re going to contact your father and try to strike up a happy relationship with

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace him. Reassure Mom that you love her very much, but don’t let her dissuade you. Then contact your father and make him an important part of your life.

Dr. Wallace: I’m in 10th grade and need a little help. Last year this guy and I were considered to be boyfriend and girlfriend.

We were always together before school, at lunch, and after school.

I didn’t get a chance to see him at all during summer break because he had to spend the summer in Nova Scotia, Canada, with his grandparents.

When school started this fall, one of his friends came up to me on the first day of school and told me that this guy did not want to see me anymore. It was the truth because even though I see him at school, he has not said one word to me. In fact, he avoids even looking at me.

He was my first love, and I still love him, and this has made me feel really sad. I talked to my mom about this and she said that I should forget about him and concentrate on my studies.

That sounds like good advice, but it’s not easy for me to forget him.

Please tell me what to do.

I don’t think I can ever forget him! – Pam, Bangor, Maine.

Pam: First loves, many times, are never forgotten, but sitting at home hoping the romance will restart is a waste of time. Get involved in school activities. This will provide you with the opportunity to make new friends, both boys and girls.

When you are socially active, you will put the memory of your

first love in the back of your mind, subject to recall whenever you feel the need to romanticize.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 years old and I have an acne problem.

It’s not that I look like a total monster, but it bothers me just the same. In fact, it bothers me very much. I’m not exactly a beautiful girl. I wear glasses and have braces on my teeth.

Because of the way I look I have a low self-esteem. Sometimes I even think about killing myself although I never would because of my religion.

I’m tired of hiding my poor complexion behind makeup and I’m tired of looking in the mirror and seeing ugly pimples on my face. I’ve tried all, and I mean all, of the over-the-counter complexion remedies with no success whatsoever. Someone told me to get a facial regularly and my face will clear up, but after four facials and a fair amount of money, I saw no progress. I desperately need your advice. I’d like to see a dermatologist, but my dad says that it would be a waste of money because my face will clear up when I get older.

Please give me the best advice you can. – Nameless, McAllen,

Tex. Nameless: You must con-

vince your parents to make an appointment for you to consult with a dermatologist. The cost should be reasonable and the results should be remarkable.

A good complexion is just as important as straight teeth.

Please show my answer to your parents. It’s their responsibility to get you the medical help that you need. Don’t believe for one moment that you are not a beautiful young lady, because you are!

Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY have been happily married for 20 Jeanne years to an amazPhillips ing man, “Boyd.”

Eight months ago, he left his administrative job to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming an actor. He is working hard on auditions and shoots, and I am very proud of him. However, when he left his job, it felt to me like a pronouncement rather than the result of our usual mutual decisions. Unfortunately, I communicated my frustration to family members at the time, and they have completely written Boyd off. They don’t want to talk to him or hear news about him, and he is not welcome in their homes. Boyd didn’t take this well. He has, in return, written THEM off. It has reached the point that I can’t share news about them with him. I have had to take down family photos -- which was my choice -- but it felt necessary.

The irony is my family felt he had created undue stress for me, but the breach in family harmony has been far more stressful than my husband’s career change. Any thoughts on how to bring detente to this situation? It’s keeping me up at night. – Actor’s Wife in Atlanta Dear Wife: Have you told your family that by shunning your husband they have caused you more stress than his decision – however one-sided it may have been – to become an actor? If you haven’t you should, because it is causing discord in your marriage. Your relatives do not have the right to punish your husband for his career choice, and you should not have encouraged or allowed them to alienate him. You may want to remind them that you and Boyd are a unit, and if they care about more contact with you, they will bury the hatchet. Or perhaps you could convince everyone to agree to family counseling.

The ball is now in your court because you are the person who started it rolling.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married for a very long time and have a good marriage. However, he has one annoying habit that drives me crazy. We live in a small house, and he has stacks and piles of things lying around collecting dust and creating clutter.

When I ask him to put them away, he says just to leave them where they are so he will remember to look at them “someday.” Abby, these are videos, magazines, books or paperwork. It could be anything, really, like some gadget he wants to check out. A neat and tidy house is important to me. This is nothing new; it has been going on during our entire marriage. What can I say to him to get him to change his ways? – Anti-Clut-

Pantone invites you to reconsider your feelings about pale pink and blue this year. Instead of remembering them as stuffy or relegating them to nurseries, Leatrice Eiseman, executive director for Pantone Color Institute, suggested pairing the pastel “colors of the year,” Rose Quartz and Serenity, with the bold colors of recent years. It will make both feel fresh.

As the world’s foremost color-trend watcher, Eiseman had noticed blush pink and a soft periwinkle blue popping up on runways and in interiors, but it was a retrospective for 20th-century American painter Agnes Martin at the Tate Modern in London that arrested her attention. “I was just taken aback,” Eiseman said of Martin’s work, which used pale color washes in abstract forms.

“It was an unexpected usage of color in a grid or in stripings, and yet it has this quiet, soft inviting feel about it.”

But it’s the pairing of these

soft pastels with other colors that really has Eiseman jazzed.

Take a rich chocolate or modern aubergine, for example, and add a blush pink or a lighter blue (don’t stress over matching Rose Quartz and Serenity exactly), and you have something new for the new year, a fresh start. And isn’t that what trends are all about?

Ideas for adding these tones to your decor: • Sea & Asters’ Blush + Wood mini wood colorblock planter adds just a dash of pink to a desk or tabletop ($22, seaandasters.com).

“Step outside Sea & Asters of the mindset of blue for boys and pink for girls,” Eiseman said. “These are not weak baby colors. They have a bit more strength than that, and more to say.”

• Eiseman likes Rose Quartz and Serenity not only with bold colors and neutrals, but also

Darryl Carter, a Washington, D.C., designer who renovated an 1840s farmhouse in The Plains, Va., says pulling off the farmhouse look takes an eye for continuity and a willingness to embrace imperfections.

Farmhouse essentials ■ Designer Darryl Carter recommends neutral velvets, patchwork rugs and big barnstyle doors lathered with paint.

■ If you’re doing more of a renovation than a redecoration, shiplap wood boards are a staple of modern farmhouse style, interior designer Cortney Bishop

said. “I like to space my 8-inch shiplap a quarter-inch apart for a super-modern feel.” Farmhouse sinks are also a given. (Bishop likes Shaws Original sinks.)

■ Other designer-approved sources include Rejuvenation, Schoolhouse Electric, the Joinery and the Citizenry.

Farmhouse style: Country charm without the barn

By MEGAN BUERGER Special to The Washington Post Forty-five minutes northwest of Washington, D.C., in the tiny town of Round Hill, Va., is a hilly plot of land with a duck pond, an old grain silo and a 300-year-old farmhouse. It was exactly what Beth and Randy Russell, of McLean, Va., were looking for: close enough to the city for convenient getaways, remote enough to unplug with the kids and old enough to need a facelift. They bought the property in 2014 and hired Charleston, S.C., interior designer Cortney Bishop to bring it up to date.

“It’s like a watercolor, so peaceful and pure,” said Bishop, who relied on a palette of stone, metal, wood and lots of black paint to turn the relic into a posh escape. “You feel like you’re stepping back in time.”

It’s easy to see the appeal of farmhouse living with its fresh air, open pastures and recreational nature. But it also can be isolating, pricey and high maintenance, meaning its rustic aesthetic has been largely reserved for folks in horse country – until now. In recent years, city dwellers who appreciated the style have begun incorporating the look into their homes with handcrafted furniture, historic collectibles and nature-inspired decor. Bishop thinks it’s the next lifestyle craze. “It’s already taken over the furniture markets and the restaurant industry,” she said, pointing to the recent explosion of farmto-table restaurants filled with Mason jars, communal wooden tables and watering cans filled with fresh flowers. “Everyone is

• FARMHOUSE

Continued from page 70 taking cues from farmhouse.”

Darryl Carter, a Washington,D.C., designer who renovated an 1840s farmhouse in The Plains, Va., and who is known for his ability to bridge modern and classical design, said pulling off the look takes an eye for continuity and a willingness to embrace imperfections.

“I always follow the architecture,” he said, referring to flaws that often come with old buildings, such as “sloping floors” and “parged walls above fireplaces with smoke stains from years of use.” He encoun-

• PINK

Continued from page 69 • Hue Dinner Plates in blush or blue can stand on their own as a set – layer pink on pink, blue on blue – or be mixed and matched ($6 each, crateandbarrel.com). Monochromatic or polychromatic, “It’s all in the combination,” Eiseman said. Also included in the Hue collection: salad

tered several inconsistencies during his own renovation. The original floors were wide planks of caramel-colored pine, while the floors in the additions were thin, garden-variety oak. “I navigated the two species and colors by painting them white with exterior porch paint,” he said.

Heirlooms are key and often dictate the rest of a farmhouse’s interior. The look of Carter’s cottage was informed by a large, white, 19th-century barn door with a silhouette of a pony.

And Bishop struck gold when builders called her attention to a 2,000-pound gravestone that was found on the grounds by the previous owner and, because of its size, never moved. Bishop said

the previous owner believed it was headed to Mount Vernon, presumably decades ago, as a replacement headstone for Capt.

John Washington (George’s great-uncle). Historians from Mount Vernon weren’t able to verify the theory, but the piece – now mounted over a living room mantel – still packs serious visual punch. “It tells the story of the property’s past,” Bishop said.

But don’t get carried away.

One of the biggest mistakes people make with farmhouse interiors is overdecorating, and it’s the quickest way to make a room look dated. Keep patterns small and colors neutral so the important collectibles, such as a grand-

mother’s quilt or a family portrait, stand out. And resist the urge to change things up from room to room. There’s nothing wrong with painting every bathroom the same color. If you’re itching for something to pop, try playing with textures or putting a piece of modern art in a sparse room.

“Don’t feel like every room needs to have its own personality,” Bishop advised.

Carter agreed. “Many people are tempted to clutter up spaces with prints and patterns. If that suits your sensibility, great, but the way to create calm in a space is to avoid visual chaos.

These structures are usually beautiful on their own.”

Replace conventional white sheets with Area Home’s Anton Pink cotton percale ($70 to $145, lekkerhome.com). Want more pink? Pair the sheets with the Sally Blanket ($180 to $235).

Folk-art furniture with the original paint sells for much more than a repainted, stripped, or even unpainted piece. This cupboard with original yellow on the outside and red on the inside brought $1,140 at auction, more than double the $250 to $400 estimate.

The original 1970s Randy Mfg. Co. sneakers in the box sold for more than $800 three years ago. Many of these things can be found at house and garage sales for bargain prices. *** Q: While at an estate sale, I bought a Hall six-cup ceramic teapot. The bottom is stamped with pattern No. 0113, and the color is maroon with a gold patterned detail. There also is “M8” stamped on the bottom rim. When was this made?

A: You have a Hollywood teapot first made by Hall in the 1920s. It was made in 4-cup, 5-cup, 6-cup, and 8-cup sizes.

Hollywood teapots were made in solid colors as well as with decal decorations.

At one time, Hall was the world’s largest manufacturer of teapots. The value of your teapot is $25 to $35. *** Q: I have a “1969” Polaroid camera. Is it worth anything to a collector?

A: Polaroid was founded in 1937. The first Polaroid Land cameras were sold in 1948. They were named after Edwin Land, who invented the instant camera and demonstrated it in 1947. The name “Land” wasn’t used on Polaroid cameras after Edwin Land retired in 1982. Film and batteries for old Polaroid cameras can be bought on Amazon and other sites.

A Polaroid 350 model, which was made from 1969 to 1971, in perfect condition, sells online for about $50 to $75. *** Correction: In a recent column we mentioned Wild Bill Hickok and his horse.

Unfortunately, we used the wrong name.

His horse was Buckshot. His sidekick, played by Andy Devine, was Jingles P. Jones. *** Tip: Don’t wear rubber gloves when polishing silver. Vinyl gloves are OK. ***

Salma Hayek said, “Life is tough, and if you have the ability to laugh at it, you have the ability to enjoy it.”

This week has featured some tougher-than-usual plays. Here is another. South is in three no-trump.

West leads a fourth-highest heart six, and East produces the king. What should declarer do?

The auction was natural, South’s two-no-trump rebid denying four hearts. Note that if you play twoover-one game-force, South’s rebid indicates 12-14 points or 18-19 points; there is no need to jump to three no-trump, because two no-trump is forcing. Then, with 18-19, if responder, as he does here, raises to three no-trump, opener nudges to four notrump to invite a slam. (Some pairs play that to rebid three no-trump indicates a 5-3-3-2 hand with 15-17 points that did not look right for a one-no-trump opening.)

South starts with six top tricks: two hearts (given trick one), two diamonds and two clubs. He can hope to get at least three winners from spades, but the defender with that ace will surely duck the first round of the suit. Then declarer will need two hand entries: one to knock out the spade ace and the other to cash the established winners. What are South’s two entries?

He has only the heart ace and diamond ace. So, to make the contract, South must not win the first trick.

Let’s assume East shifts to a diamond. Declarer wins on the board and leads the spade queen. When it holds, he crosses to the heart ace and drives out the spade ace, here ending with an overtrick.
