Leaders hear pitch for single-family homes By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – The country’s largest privately held homebuilder is making plans to construct more single-family housing near downtown St. Charles. But aldermen say David Weekley Homes’ vision needs some tweaking. “I don’t know what to think about it,” 5th Ward Alderman Maureen Lewis said during a presentation of the concept plan on April 11. “I’m not real crazy about the product you’re building.” David Weekley Homes – which also is preparing to break ground on a project in Geneva – seeks to develop a vacant, one-acre parcel at the northwest corner of Geneva Road and Mosedale Street in St. Charles into single-family homes with front-loaded garages. Seven houses are proposed for the site – two along Mosedale Street and five along Keller Place, with their backs to Geneva Road. They would

“I don’t know what to think about it.... I’m not really crazy about the product you’re building” Maureen Lewis 5th Ward Alderman

provide 1,800 to 2,500 square feet of two-story living plus a basement, Dan Venard of David Weekley Homes said. With the parcel’s proximity to Mount St. Mary Park, downtown shops and Davis Primary School, it would have a “great in-town feel” and the ability to draw an eclectic group of homeowners, he said. Fourth Ward Alderman Steve Gaugel said the proposal “could be creative use of that property.” It was acknowledged that the site – which once featured a doctor’s office – has a challenging topography and configuration. Several aldermen requested fewer houses on the site, but 3rd Ward Al-

derman Todd Bancroft said the houses – which have a thinner profile – would look better with a greater density. He described the concept plan as a “very unique and clever use of a very challenging site.” Neighbors adjacent and across from the property voiced their own concerns about the project, including the buildings’ height, landscaping plans and whether the lots would have enough room for families. John Rabchuk, who lives nearby, said he likes the plan overall. He noted the city is in “desperate need” of more housing close to downtown. “People want this kind of housing,” he said.

Residents receive honor after pond rescue

KCS

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – St. Germain Place is generally a quiet residential street with little traffic. But when something suddenly went terribly wrong for one family on a recent Monday morning, the right pieces fell into place, turning “tragedy into triumph” as St. Charles Fire Chief Joe Schelstreet put it. The day, March 14, began ordinarily enough. Chris Tavajian was at the wheel of his Honda Accord, driving his 14-year-old daughter Andi to St. Charles East High School. Meanwhile, neighbor Glenn Kennedy was leaving his house a few minutes later than usual, which, he said, is out of character for him. As Kennedy pulled out of his driveway about 7 a.m., another neighbor pulled up alongside his car and alerted him to a vehicle in a nearby pond, which is 15 to 20 feet deep, he said. Only the back corner of the car was visible, Kennedy said, and he initially thought it had been dumped. But it hadn’t. Tavajian suffered a seizure while driving, and the Honda went into the pond despite Andi’s efforts to alter its course, Tavajian said, noting he has no memory of the accident. Noises of the submerged car shutting down “really scared” the high school freshman, mother Kim Tavajian said. But Andi’s parents had prepared the teen for such a moment. They had not only talked with her about what to do if her dad had a seizure – he has had them before – but what to do if she was in a submerged car, Kim said, explaining her mother died from a similar accident. “Andi kept calm and, while the car was still sinking into the pond, made the 911 call to ensure help was on the way,” Schelstreet said. The teen unsuccessfully tried to wake Chris’ slouched

got his neighbor to shore, he said. Chris said he was discharged from the hospital in a matter of hours. “Words can’t describe how thankful I am for him,” Chris said of his neighbor. “He didn’t have to do that. He could have let me sink to the bottom.” Kim said Kennedy didn’t just save her husband. If events had turned out differently, she said, Andi never would have been the same.

D-303 officials unveil referendum options for Thompson Middle School By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – St. Charles School District 303 residents have a new set of building options to consider – and each one would have a different effect on their wallets. Unlike last fall’s facilities options, these choices focus on improvements at Thompson and Wredling middle schools. Haines Middle School would be closed, saving the district $2.4 million annually. District officials unveiled the potential changes at a Summit 303 meeting April 14: • Renovate and add onto Thompson, which would bring air conditioning to the school, expand the cafeteria and make improvements to the science labs and gym. At Wredling, the science labs would be upgraded, and the cafeteria would be expanded. A $15 million referendum would be required. • Create a “mostly new” Thompson by retaining the library, front offices and north wing while building new in place of the rest of the school. Thompson would have modern science classrooms, a larger cafeteria, new gym space, enhanced safety in the entrances and parking improvements. Wredling would get upgraded science labs, a dedicated STEM lab and an expanded cafeteria. A $35 million referendum would be required. • Build a new Thompson that would be designed for flexible learning environments and include modern science labs, STEM research, increased parking and, among other features, up-todate safety features. Wredling would get upgraded science labs, a dedicated STEM lab and an expanded cafeteria. A $50 million referendum would be

required. District officials stressed the upcoming payoff of bonds would lessen the impact on taxpayers. Based on a $300,000 home, the district anticipates taxpayers will experience a $600 savings once the bonds are paid off in 2018. The savings would be reduced to $555 for a $15 million referendum, $500 for a $35 million referendum and $450 for a $50 million referendum, officials said. In polls of the about 70 Summit 303 attendees, 71 percent indicated they could support the $50 million referendum, and 68 percent indicated support for the $35 million option. About 63 percent indicated they couldn’t support the $15 million renovation option. The feedback from the Summit 303 meetings is expected to be presented to the school board on April 25. Superintendent Don Schlomann suggested hosting the sessions as the board last month struggled about when to proceed with a middle school referendum.

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – Two St. Charles massage businesses have been penalized in connection with arrests made at the establishments, the city announced in a press release April 14. An undercover police operation on March 15 netted arrests at Best Massage, 2774 E. Main St.; Lotus Spa, 1700 Lincoln Highway; and Main Spa, 504 E. Main St. Two of the three women arrested

were charged with prostitution, and two were charged with practicing massage without a license. Both offenses are misdemeanors. The St. Charles Liquor Control Commission met April 4 to consider the violations. Mayor Ray Rogina, in his role as liquor control commissioner, enforced the local massage ordinances. “The penalties assessed in this matter reflect the importance of keeping a viable industry free from the few associated with unlawful practices,”

Rogina stated in the release. Lotus Spa, which had closed by the time of the meeting, was cited with prohibited acts and conditions. Its license was revoked, the release stated. Best Massage was cited with prohibited acts and conditions. According to the release, its license was revoked, and it must pay a fine of $500 and court costs of $500 per section. Main Spa, which was cited with prohibited acts and conditions, has a hearing scheduled for April 18.

ST. CHARLES – Royal Builders and Royal Real Estate in St. Charles will be adding a storage unit – called a shell – to its parking lot April 21 as it kicks off a food drive for the Northern Illinois Food Bank in Geneva, office manager Sue Webb said. “We are challenging the community to help us fill it with food,” Webb said. “We’ve done food drives in the past, but the most successful one was asking people to fill our truck. When the food drive is in our building or lobby, people are not seeing it.” While the storage unit is being delivered on April 21, the actual kickoff for filling it is from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 23 at the business, 1003 W Main St, St. Charles. The public can continue to donate until May 20 to meet the companies’ Fill-A-Shell Challenge with the food bank’s most-needed items, Webb said. These include whole-grain cereals and pastas, oatmeal, brown rice, canned fruit in juice, low-sodium canned vegetables, canned tuna and chicken in water, all-natural peanut butter, low-sodium soups and pasta sauces, dry whole beans, lentils, spices, seasonings, and instant breakfast drink without added sugar. Donations should not be in glass containers, Webb said. Royal Builders regularly puts up inspirational messages on an outdoor sign that can be seen by passing motorists. Webb said she chooses the “sign of the day” messages.

Thanks to expo sponsors for successful event After hosting our third Consumer Expo at the Sportsplex, the St. Charles Chamber of Commerce would like to thank our Main Event Sponsor, Fox River Tire & Auto; our Gold Sponsor, Excel Automotive Repair; Entertainment Sponsor, Rocket Fizz; Bounce House Sponsor, St. Charles Park District; and Face Painting Sponsor, Colonial Café. We’d also like to thank all of the vendors who were there, the dance studios who performed, and the community members who attended. We were happy to have yet another successful Expo and look forward to next year! I would like to bring some light to one of the committees within the Chamber, the Young Professionals Council. It has a lot lined up for this spring and summer. The council’s mission is to identify the needs of members who are 40 years old and younger. Its mission is to foster relationship-building, career development, entrepreneurial endeavors and civic involvement among young professionals. Its vision is to generate events focused on the wants, needs and values of young professionals, with a goal of designing new and innovative networking opportunities. The overall intent is to engage the

CHAMBER EXCHANGER Amanda Lutz general membership with “out-of-thebox” events that allow participants to build professional relationships, explore/support their community, and create an environment designed for professional development to ultimately empower future business leaders. This year, the YPC has its Educational Luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. May 12 in the Chamber Boardroom. The sponsor for the event this year is APM Designs. The topic for the Building Blocks to Business Success series is “Bridging The Generational Gap In Business.” This presentation will describe how to ignite passion in younger professionals and tap into the experience and knowledge of the more advanced professionals. This topic is not only great for the YPC’s target audience, but also for anyone learning how to deal with this recent change in the workforce. Please contact the chamber office if you are interested in attending. The cost is $10, which includes lunch. The Young Professionals Council also will help with the chamber’s

Paddle Boat event, which is a free networking event on the large Paddlewheel Boats on the Fox River in June. This is always a great event and picturesque venue. We appreciate Anderson Enterprises for allowing us to have this event on their boats. In August, the YPC hosts a fundraiser for Anderson Animal Shelter from 5 to 8 p.m. Aug. 16 at the St. Charles Chamber’s Cruise Nites on Riverside Avenue in downtown St. Charles. Last year, there were adorable adoptable pets and complimentary pet nail clippings for people who brought items on Anderson Animal Shelter’s wish list. The YPC also had a raffle, which raised money for Anderson Animal Shelter as well.

Colonial Cafe Celebrates 50th Anniversary of their scrumptious Turtle Sundae! SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese Fifty years ago, Tom Anderson first prepared Colonial Cafe’s famous Turtle Sundae. It’s been such a popular addition to the menu that each April Colonial celebrates the anniversary of its creation. As part of the festivities, each Tuesday in April, seven lucky customers (one per location) have the chance to win their height in Turtle Sundaes! There are 28 winners in all! The April contest has become a Colonial Cafe tradition that customers look forward to each year. Guests enter the contest inside the cafe, and include their height on the entry form. Heights are rounded to the nearest 6” interval, which is the height of the Turtle Sundae. So if you’re a winner, and you’re 5’4” tall, you’d win 11 free Turtle Sundae certificates. Winners can share the gift certificates with friends and family, or they can choose to treat themselves throughout the year!

“I was excited to come up with this tasty, classic combination of ingredients,” said Tom Anderson, Chairman and Director of Scooping Fun for Colonial Cafe. “We combine butter-roasted pecans, butterscotch caramel, and hot fudge chocolate, all over Colonial ice cream, and more smaller pecan pieces on top to spread the goodness over the fudge. When I make it, I don’t even add whipped cream so that it keeps the look of a “turtle candy”. No need to get sidetracked with whipped cream.” According to Mr. Anderson, the Turtle Sundae, with all three sizes considered, has been their most popular sundae of all. “Over the years, I’ve tried different sundae combinations using ingredients like potato chips and popcorn,” he said. “They’re always popular, but none have been as popular as the Turtle Sundae.” Be sure to visit your local Colonial Cafe in April to enter this special 50th Anniversary contest. Imagine winning your height in Turtle Sundaes! What a fun way to celebrate an anniversary!

A Homemade Valentine’s Dinner Sets A Romantic Mood SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese Celebrate “National Picnic Day” with ideas from Blue Goose Market! Although Spring is officially here, the weather around Chicagoland doesn’t always cooperate. But if we’re lucky, by the last week in April we will have warmer temperatures and sunny days, just perfect for enjoying a meal outdoors. Saturday, April 23rd is National Picnic Day, and Blue Goose Market in St. Charles wants to help you plan for and enjoy a wonderful picnic! In the 1800s, a group of wealthy Londoners formed “The Picnic Society”. These social gatherings involved fancy potluck meals and live classical music. Today, picnics are usually more casual get-togethers with friends and family. Picnics can also be a romantic way to enjoy special time with your significant other. To celebrate National Picnic Day, you’ll want to make sure you remember certain items. A great picnic blanket has a plastic

coating on one side to keep you dry in case the grass is damp. Remember bug spray, sunblock, a frisbee or other games, napkins, wet wipes, and a portable music player. Bring a picnic basket, cooler, and a portable grill if you plan to BBQ. Plates, cups, and eating utensils are also a must. If your site doesn’t have trash cans, bring along your own trash bag. Meal ideas include deli sandwiches, fruit salad, pasta salad, chips and dip, and a relish tray. Blue Goose Market offers delicious Boar’s Head meats and cheeses, along with prepared salads for every taste. April is the month for the freshest asparagus, lettuces, onions, peas, radishes, and herbs, so your homemade salads and pasta dishes will taste wonderful. Strawberries are also coming into season soon. Drink ideas include fresh lemonade, soda or juice for the kids, and water bottles to keep you hydrated. A light, refreshing wine is great to share with your partner. For more information and ideas to enjoy the perfect picnic on April 23rd, visit The Blue Goose Market in beautiful downtown St. Charles!

The gigantic caddisfly – not just any old bug Deadline nears This week’s column actually had its beginnings last summer, although I didn’t know it at the time. I can still picture it – the warm July sun streaming down, the flowers shimmering in the bright light. I could feel the heat beginning to build even though it was barely 8 a.m. As I listened to the bumblebees and honeybees swirling around the St. John’s wort, I realized it was going to be a buggy sort of day. A ground beetle scurried away from the remnants of his multilegged meal. A dragonfly hovered above the rain garden. I stopped briefly to watch a mass of pavement ants, already in an uproar despite the early hour, when I realized not only was I surrounded by insects but also had been selected by one in particular. This, however, wasn’t just any old bug – as if there really were such a thing. Nope, this was an insect unlike anything I’d seen before. Well, mostly unlike ... . It did remind me of something – an insect you’re probably familiar with even if you don’t know what it is: a caddisfly. Most people refer to these guys as “river bugs,” as they’re often associated with riparian environments. We have a few species that predominate in the Fox River, and when the adults emerge, en masse, the air is thick with millions of small, moth-ish insects that swirl around very much like brown snowflakes. (The analogy doesn’t end there. In years when emergences are especially large, the best way to clean the bodies up is with – yep, you guessed it – a snow shovel.) At any rate, the caddisflies with which we’re all most familiar are small, maybe a half inch in length. But this creature, which had adopted my leg as a landing point, was much larger. Its length, including wings, was more than an inch long. Including the antennae up front, I was looking at more than two inches of insect. That day, I didn’t have a whole lot of time to devote to field guides, so I settled on a tentative and nonspecific “gigantic caddisfly” and left it at that. Then, last weekend, I took a dip net out to a nearby wetland and the story came full circle. I was with my friend Jessi, an aquatic ecologist, and we actually were on a mission to find fairy shrimp. (We didn’t find any this time. But when we do, expect to hear about it. Fairy shrimp are awesome!) Wading in the still-chilly water, we immediately found clusters of frog eggs. We saw cool plants such as bladderwort (which is carnivorous and might also merit a column of its own some day soon) and cool arachnids such as a young and freshly molted fishing spider (likewise).

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.

Virtual Vehicle Software SPONSORED BY

By C.R. Walker You’re not an auto mechanic and you don’t play one on TV. You are a vehicle owner though and you rely heavily on your vehicle to get to work, to get groceries and run other errands and to transport your kids or grandkids throughout the community. While you put your trust in your auto repair shop to ensure that your vehicle continues to run well, current technology now allows you to see for yourself what repairs your car, van or truck require. At Excel Automotive Repair in St. Charles, its certified, highly trained technicians are utilizing Virtual Vehicle, a system-based program that provides data regarding why servicing or repairing is now recommended. Furthermore, the software relays info regarding what complications you may be experiencing, or soon will be, due to the issue, as well as how your service

technician can fix the problem. Virtual Vehicle is an online support program that TECHNET Professional Auto Service® centers employ to simplify the communication between auto shops, such as Excel Automotive Repair, and customers like you. There’s no doubt that today’s vehicles are complex, and understanding how and why they are running smoothly or not, isn’t something most can easily comprehend. With Virtual Vehicle, communication is simplified. It incorporates animation to detail assorted vehicle parts and systems to illustrate any of the hundreds of common customer vehicle concerns. Whether it’s your brakes, exhaust, engine, cooling or electrical systems. Virtual Vehicle can help explain why repairs are required right now or recommended for the near future. You probably never knew the typical timeframe for when to replace a timing belt or for when your fuel injectors need to be cleaned, but now you do. Thanks to Virtual Vehicle technology, your vehicle can remain on the road as long as you apply the info that it provides for upkeep.

Move part of Mill Race Inn redevelopment

Developer Shodeen Inc. is poised to buy the property at the southwest corner of Route 38 and Route 25, where the Geneva Cycle Shop, at 12 E. State St., is located. The purchase would be part of the company’s plan to redevelop the Mill Race Inn property, at 4 E. State St. “Maybe I’ll be able to stay until I’m 78 – or until I’m 81,” Giannini said. Giannini said he finally agreed to the sale because Shodeen was offering “$300,000 to $400,000 more than anyone else” for the corner lot, which also includes a consignment store, What’s Your Consignment. The Mill Race Inn closed in 2011. It was purchased by 4 East State Street Holdings LLC March 1, 2014, for $550,000 from Plaza Bank, according to Kane County property records. The holding company was created through the Shodeen Family Foundation, according to Illinois Secretary of State’s Office records. The Mill Race Inn has an older build-

ing inside of it, Patzelt said, which historic preservationists want the developer to save. Patzelt said the company would likely relocate that older structure to one of its other properties. “We’ve got to figure out what to do with the structure that is literally within the Mill Race Inn building,” Patzelt said. “It is a heavy stone structure.” Patzelt said while the sale to Giannini is under contract, the company is in its “routine due diligence period – everything from the environmental survey to the title search.” Giannini said he is confident the sale will go through. “Unless they find a critical mass of plutonium or radium underground

… or a small nuclear warhead, they’ll take it,” Giannini said. As Geneva city officials consider the creation of a third tax increment finance district – which would include the Mill Race Inn property – Patzelt said the company would be monitoring the discussion. “We have done work within TIF districts,” Patzelt said. “We believe TIF districts are an important tool in redevelopment.” A tax increment finance district allows municipalities to divert the increased assessed value of property and sales taxes that result from redevelopment. The diverted tax revenue can be used for specific improvements, such as buying land, razing buildings, relocating a business, rebuilding streets, sidewalks and utilities. Under state law, TIF districts can last up to 23 years. A public hearing on creating the third TIF district in Geneva is scheduled for 7 p.m. May 16 at City Hall, 22 S. First St., Geneva. Geneva School District 304 officials have formally objected to creating another tax increment finance district, saying desirable riverfront area can be developed without diverting property taxes from the school district to fund improvements.

GENEVA – Developer Shodeen Inc. could buy the property on the southwest corner of Routes 38 and 25 late next year, as it is a necessary part of its anticipated redevelopment of the 1.4-acre Mill Race Inn property – which it already owns and is at 4 E. State St. in Geneva, officials said. The .39 of an acre corner lot, which fronts Route 38/State Street and Route 25/Bennett Street, is contiguous to the Mill Race Inn property. It is owned by Elis Giannini, who said he has had his Geneva Cycle Shop business at 12 E. State St. for 51 years this month. Shodeen Construction President David Patzelt would not be specific about the company’s plans for the Mill Race Inn property and the corner lot – other than confirming that the deteriorating former restaurant must be torn down. “We have not gotten a demolition permit yet,” Patzelt said. “Really, we want to wait to have a plan for the entire corner – including Geneva Cycle – before we do any demolition of the site.” Giannini said he signed a contract with Shodeen late last year, giving the developer from Dec. 24, 2017, to Dec. 24, 2020, to notify him of its intent to purchase the property from him. The extended contract gives him an opportunity to relocate his stock of 500 to 600 bikes, Giannini said, once the developer gives him a date certain for the closing.

State trooper intoxicated while on duty pleads guilty to DUI KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – A trooper with the Illinois State Police has pleaded guilty for being intoxicated while on duty. Paul A. Zurn, 34, on April 11 agreed to a sentence of one year of court supervision in exchange for a guilty plea to misdemeanor DUI, according to a release from the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office. Additionally, Zurn must undergo alcohol treatment, pay $2,185 in costs and fines, and attend a victim impact panel, the release stated. Associate Judge Robert J. Morrow accepted the plea. Zurn has been on administrative leave since October 2015 pending an internal investigation, according to a news release from the Illinois State Police. The release noted ISP officials supported the conviction. “ISP troopers are entrusted to uphold the law, and – as such – must be held to the highest standards of

personal conduct on and off duty,” ISP Director Leo Schmitz stated in the ISP release. “The actions of a single officer do not reflect on the outstanding, selfless work by the men and women of the ISP who risk their lives daily to protect the motoring public.” The charge stems from an incident Aug. 22, 2015, when Zurn responded to a minor traffic crash on westbound Interstate 88 near Farnsworth Avenue, according to the releases. Other troopers noted he was unsteady on his feet, and a bottle containing alcoholic liquor was found in his squad car, the releases stated. The releases indicated Zurn not only refused to submit a portable breath test and perform standardized field sobriety tests, but he also refused to submit to a Breathalyzer test. As a result, his driver’s license was suspended for one year, the releases stated. Assistant State’s Attorney Sarah Seberger prosecuted the case.

During World War II, many St. Charles residents enlisted in the armed forces. Those who stayed at home did their duty by working in local factories, buying war bonds and conserving for the war effort. St. Charles industries also did their part by switching their factories to manufacturing for the war effort, including the Howell Co., St. Charles Manufacturing Co., Operadio, Hawley Products, and Howard Aircraft Corp. Each company, with its unique skills and products, produced military materials that would go on to help strengthen the U.S. and its allies, and would eventually help

KOVELS: ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING

BY TERRY AND KIM KOVEL KOVELS.COM Furniture made by earlier workmen often inspire later designers who create a modern version. The series of chairs by Robert Venturi (born 1938), first sold in 1985, represented the work of nine periods of furniture. Queen Anne, Chippendale, Sheraton, Empire, Biedermeier, Empire, Gothic Revival, Art Nouveau and Art Deco chairs made by Knoll all are made of plywood. Each is a cut-out form shaped like the 18th-, 19th- or 20th-century chair it represents. The chairs were covered in a plastic laminate and some had fabric cushions. One version of the Chippendale chair is covered in the “Grandmother’s Tablecloth” pattern. The pastel flowers actually were inspired by a friend’s grandmother’s tablecloth. The chairs are seen in homes, shops and auctions today. In the 1980s, a chair could sell for up to $16,000. But many more of the chairs have been made and prices are lower. A “Grandmother’s Tablecloth Chippendale Chair” sold by Skinner in 2015 brought $6,150. *** Q: I have a picture frame that I treasure. It was given to me by my grandmother and I’d like to know more about it. It is white porcelain with painted flowers and gold trim. The mark on the back looks like an E over an S with 1811 in the bottom curve of the S and Prufsia (is it Prussia?) below. Do you know the history from the mark? And can you give me its value? A: The mark on your frame was used by a company founded in 1861 by Leonard Schlegelmilch (1823-1898) in Suhl, Germany, and named in memory

The flowers on this 1985 plywood “Chippendale” chair by Robert Venturi were inspired by a tablecloth. Black lines change it to a more modern look. The 37- inch chair auctioned for $6,150. of his father, Erdmann Schlegelmilch (1782-1844). The Schlegelmilch names and factories confused collectors for years until extensive research was done in the mid-1980s, and the families and companies were sorted out. The Erdmann Schlegelmilch company made porcelain kitchenware, tableware, giftware, ﬁgurines, coffee and tea sets, and for a time, containers for perfume lamps. After Leonard died, his son Julius Martin ran the business, which reached its peak in 1913. Work declined between 1933 and 1935 and the company ﬁnally closed in 1937. Erdmann Schlegelmilch items are marked “ES Germany” or “ES Suhl.” Other pieces, like your frame, made at a factory in Saxony, Prussia, are marked “ES Prussia.” The mark on your frame has the date 1861, the founding date, not 1811. “Prufsia” is Prussia; the double “s” is in old German writing. The value of your frame is $75. *** Q: I have a small salve container that belonged to my father. It’s made of tin and is about 2 inches high. The screw-off lid is embossed “Medicat 60, Trial Size, Resinol Shaving Stick.” On the bottom, it reads “under the Food & Drugs Act, June 30, 1906.” What is its antique value? A: Resinol Chemical Company was started in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1895 by Dr. Merville Hamilton Carter, his brother Allan and a cousin. The company made soap and other products that contained Resinol ointment, supposed to clear up pimples, eczema and other problems. A 1916 ad for the shaving stick said it contained the “Resinol medication so that it soothes and refreshes the face.” The 1906 Food & Drug Act was replaced in 1938 by the Federal Food, Drug and

Kane County Flea Market

Cosmetic Act. Resinol was listed as a soap manufacturer in business directories after 1956. Although one “for sale” ad online has priced a Resinol tin at $300, it had no bidders. The actual value is about $10. *** Q: I have a marble and bronze bust signed “Schumacher.” I’d like to know something about the maker, how old this is, and how to clean it. A: This mark was used by the Schumacher Foundry, which was founded by Henry Schumacher in Austria. The foundry made bronze and alabaster busts and full-length figures from about 1900 to the 1920s. Alabaster can be damaged by improper handling and cleaning. Don’t use water to clean it. Alabaster dissolves in water. Don’t wax alabaster, it will eventually cause discoloration. You can dust alabaster by brushing it with a soft bristle brush. Works made at the Schumacher foundry have sold at auction for a few hundred to over $2,000. Fulllength figures usually bring higher prices than busts. *** Q: I purchased 100 pounds of miniature bells. Most are Bells of Sarna from India and but some are from other countries. They are all from the 1940s and ‘50s. It appears the man who owned them had a bell tree and when people came to visit on Christmas they brought a bell. Most of the bells are dated. Where can I find out about these? A: Bells of Sarna is a brand name used by a company founded by Sajan Singh Sarna in Manhasset, New York. He imported goods from India and sold them to dealers in the United States. Sarna began importing bells in 1938. The bells often were sold on thin ropes or chains, and came with a tag that gave the story behind the bell. Sarna bells sell online for a variety of prices. Recent prices include a set of five different Sarna bells, two with story tags but not strung, $32; five brass Sarna bells on a rope, $12; and a string of four brass bells on a braided rope for $37. *** Tip: Specialized antiques and collectibles shows are becoming more popular. In 2012 there were shows devoted to garden antiques, political memorabilia, toys, clocks, advertising, Art Pottery, dolls, modern design, textiles, vintage clothing, bottles, glass, paper ephemera and jewelry. Makes sense, the serious collector can see more of interest at a one theme show. *** Terry Kovel and Kim Kovel answer questions sent to the column. By sending a letter with a question, you give full

GENEVA – Area families are invited to the ninth annual Earth Day celebration from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 23 at Peck Farm Park, 4038 Kaneville Road, Geneva. Sponsored by the Geneva Park District and the Geneva Natural Resources Committee, the event will feature rain barrels for purchase, free bicycle safety checks and document shredding, among other activities. Jay Womack, chairman of the Natural Resources Committee, said some new attractions this year will include live animals for people to interact with. “We’ll have two alpacas that a woman raises for their wool,” Womack said. “And a farm is bringing baby goats and lambs.” A variety of vendors will showcase the best green practices, Womack said. These include Habi-Tek, a Geneva company that will showcase solar panel installation; Jolly Old Soles, which repurposes old shoes; electric cars from the Fox Valley Electric Auto Association; and a company that collects and shreds No. 6 Styrofoam containers to repurpose them for shipping containers. “I went to my basement and pulled out 20 pairs of shoes that I don’t wear anymore to donate,” Womack said. Other vendors will include the Geneva Green Market, Firehouse Pizza, Fox Valley Wildlife Center, Sure Movements Yoga, the Batavia Environmental Commission, SciTech, Mighty Greens and Windy Acres. The Geneva Public Library will offer a “reading green” table so people can bring a gently used book from home and exchange it for another used book of their choice. Library spokeswoman Paula Krapf said the library piloted the idea last year during Earth Day. “People thought it was a great idea, so it made sense to do it again and pro-

Prior to the festivities, families are invited to join a 2.5-mile hike from 9 to 10:30 a.m. for an Earth Day clean-up. Participants should meet in the park’s courtyard before starting their hike and should wear comfortable shoes and garden gloves for picking up trash.

Individuals choose to participate in some form of exercise including high impact or no impact sports to keep healthy. But did you know the physical exercise can lead to several dental injuries including: lip and cheek lacerations; chipped or broken teeth; tooth root damage; fractured jaws; and damaged restorations. By wearing a mouth guard you can reduce your risk of dental injury. In fact, the American Dental Association states that athletes who play sports with a mouth guard are 60 times less likely to damage their teeth than those who play without one. The mouth guards typically cover the upper teeth and are a great way to protect the soft tissues of your tongue, lips and cheek lining. A mouth guard is an essential piece of athletic gear

it is made specifically for you. The boil and bite mouth guards can be at many sporting good stores and drugstores. They are first softened in boiled water, then inserted and allowed to adapt to the shape of your mouth. The last type are stock mouth guards. These are inexpensive and come pre-formed, ready to wear. The cons to this type are they can be bulky and can make breathing and talking difficult

Odds aren’t as good that you know that the inventor of the grill, Michael Boehm, is originally from Batavia, Ill. In fact, Boehm is one of many famous Batavians. A few of the many others, include athletes, like the NFL’s Ken Anderson and NBA’s Dan Issell, geniuses, including Leon Lederman, who won the Nobel Prize in physics, politicians, such as former U.S. congressman Meredith Mallory, and even, Marion Moon, who is the mother of astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Talk about the perfect last name. Of course, none of these celebrities ever would’ve called Batavia home if not for settlers coming out this way in the mid-1830s. Being situated near the Fox River provided a great area to live with farmland, quarry stone, timber and water power. Originally called, “Head of Big Woods,”

1900s, Batavia began being referred to as the “Windmill Capital of the World” as it was home to six windmill manufacturers at that time. The first products manufactured in Batavia included flour, ice, lumber, paper and stone, which ultimately found a marketplace in Chicago. Today, Batavia remains a great place to live. Business Week ranked it on the national list of the best 50 places in America to raise kids in 2007. A couple years later and CNN Money’s Best Small Towns in the nation ranked it #56. It’s also a wonderful town to enjoy your golden years. The residents of Heritage Woods of Batavia would confirm that. Heritage Woods of Batavia, 1079 E.

Community rallies around teen fighting lymphoma

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Snowy ups and downs beats one-size-fits-all weather For the first time in a decade or so, the schools where my wife and I teach had overlapping spring breaks. We could have resorted to our usual stay-cation, luxuriating in cleaning the garage, replacing last year’s ant traps and spreading the annual driveway mulch dump, but instead we left all that wild fun behind. And flew to Florida. Unfortunately, three days before leaving, I caught the dreaded fever, cough, runny nose and sinus pressure thing. A doctor diagnosed it as a virus. A nurse said the flu. My misery by any other name would have left me feeling like I’d lost out to a Death Eater. So we called our friends who’d invited us to Florida; did they want us to cancel the trip? “Are you kidding?” Charlie said. “I’m just getting over it. Come on down. Weather’ll fix you right up!” My longtime friend exaggerated. He’d gotten the bug only a day before I had. With our constant hacking, coughing and spitting, his wife referred to Charlie and me as “the consumptives.” I slept well; however, with the continual wash of waves 50 yards from our bedroom, plus a scarlet capful of Robitussin DM, nothing would have kept me awake short of a Harrier jet

RIVER TOWN CHRONICLES Rick Holinger landing on my eyelids. South of Tampa, crossing onto Longboat Key rescues the weary driver from franchise sprawl. Instead, the island’s road tunnels through rent-a-condo row and restaurants where youthful hostesses repeat their 45-minutes-to-buy-pricey-drinkswhile-you-wait-for-a-table mantra. All in all, I loved Longboat. Not needing a cane, wheelchair or elevator to walk or climb stairs convinced my 67 years they’d shrunk to 16. Moreover, after three days of watching retirees shuffle from car to condo door or outdoor table, I understood they gravitated to Florida not only because the weather impersonates a hot-shower bathroom sans exhaust fan, but because of its topography. I thought Illinois was flat! The only hills we encountered connected two landmasses – and were technically termed bridges. Leaving the Gulf, we drove inland to Orlando where, visiting Harry Potter world in Universal Studios, we found the rest of the country

vacationing as well. “Most people we’ve had all year,” a costumed actor told us while we stood in our sixth line – at the same restaurant. If the pack of people waiting outside the wand store hadn’t stretched back to Hedwig’s nest, I might have Avada Kedavra-ed a large number of butter beer-guzzling Midwesterners into slithery Slytherin snakes. Once uncoiled from a line with more twists than a Raymond Chandler noir, I marveled at the red, lifesized Hogwarts Express locomotive pulling its black coal car and olive green coaches. If you make it on board, say hi to Hagrid for me. Although gone only a week, I was eager to get back to Illinois’s sweater weather and comparatively rolling landscapes. I missed a climate that wasn’t one-size-fits-all. Like sun-sandwiched snowstorms in April. Or navigating sloping terrains, if only our valley’s walls or Johnson’s Mound. I’ll take snowy ups and downs over steam baths any day.

No one fights alone. That’s particularly true of Allie Pyle, a Sugar Grove teen who was diagnosed in November with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. A freshman girls swimmer at Rosary High School in Aurora, Pyle underwent seven chemotherapy sessions at the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago after her diagnosis. Once again proving that Kane County is filled with great, caring people, the community rallied, offering Pyle and her family moral support. But the support didn’t end there. Knowing Pyle’s family faced significant health care costs, Sarah Fergus, a Rosary senior who also is on the swim team, organized a fundraiser that collected more than $4,000. Among the items in the fundraiser were “Team Allie” T-shirts and bracelets designed by Sign FX, a Sugar Grove company, that sold in tandem for $20. The back of the T-shirts read, “No one fights alone.” “I never really expected anyone to do anything like that for me, so yeah, it did surprise me,” Pyle told Sports Editor Kevin Druley for a story published at KCChronicle.com on April 18. “I was really happy to see the support and stuff. And it meant a lot.” Pyle, thankfully, is now in remission. And Fergus, a good deed now done, is weighing collegiate swimming options. “It makes me feel proud that I did something that, it may not be making a huge difference, but I’m making at least a little bit of a difference and making a small step toward finding a cure for cancer,” Fergus said. “It really warms my heart to hear people tell me, ‘Good job,’ and, ‘Way to go,’ and that kind of stuff.” We echo what others have already told Fergus. Way to go. We also applaud the entire Rosary/ Sugar Grove community for stepping up to help Allie Pyle. These are the kinds of stories that make us proud to live here.

2 GENEVA BASEBALL

Sean King - For Shaw Media

Senior AJ Hostman is playing first base after shifting across the diamond from third base for the Geneva baseball team this season.

‘Hit ground balls ... and let’s go home’ Confident senior infield gives Vikings a boost By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Noah Davison called it the best in the state. Geneva baseball coach Matt Hahn isn’t sure he’s seen a better one in his 12-year tenure. The Geneva defense, led by a senior infield, has been one of the biggest reasons why the Vikings have started the season so strong. After shifting a couple of pieces around to get his best group – it features Jack Wassel (third base), Vince MacDon-

ald (shortstop), Justin Hasegawa (second base) and AJ Hostman (first base) – the defensive alignment has made a big impact on the team’s confidence. “This might be the best defensive team I’ve had in my 12 years [at Geneva],” Hahn said. “Just hit ground balls at Hasegawa, hit ground balls at Wassel, hit ground balls at MacDonald and let’s go home. That’s what our pitchers have done – allowed the defense to have their backs – and we hope they continue to do.” Hahn knew putting a group of experienced infielders together would not only help the chemistry but also help the pitchers know they can pitch to contact and still have success. “You gain a ton of confidence from that. I’ve seen plenty of baseball games

where it’s just a sieve back there,” Hahn said. “Now you have to nibble, feel like you have to strike everyone out, and I feel like our pitchers are aware now that they don’t have to do that. I mean, they’re 17 years old, so whether they continue to do it is one thing, but knowing you have that defense behind you is a big deal.” Part of the defense’s success involved having the pitchers buy into that process. Strikeouts are flashy; there’s no better guaranteed out than having a batter swing and miss. But knowing the infielders aren’t going to make mistakes behind them that often has been vital. Wassel, a Minnesota commit, has done a lot of damage with his bat during the early season, but he also is one of

the slickest fielding third baseman in the area. He has stressed time and again how important it is for the pitchers to just throw strikes. “Our pitchers really believe in it,” Wassel said. “They’re buying into it and know they just need to throw the ball over the plate. When they know there’s a good defense behind them and that we’ll make the plays behind them, we have success as a group defensively.” Wassel was one of two Geneva infielders to move positions, along with Hostman. After playing primarily third base last season, Hostman moved across the diamond, pushing Wassel to third from shortstop and bumping MacDonald into the starting lineup.

KANE COUNTY PREPS ATHLETE OF THE WEEK JACK WASSEL Geneva High School Senior | Baseball Why Wassel was selected:

Geneva senior third baseman Jack Wassel, a Minnesota commit, wants to make sure his final high school season is a good one. It’s off to a good start for a Vikings team that had won five of six Upstate Eight Conference River Division games entering the week of April 18. Wassel, the St. Charles Bank & Trust/Kane County Preps Athlete of the Week, caught up with Kane County Chronicle sports reporter Chris Casey to discuss the season so far. An edited transcript follows: Talk about the strong senior leadership on this team. It’s a great thing for us to have. We had three junior starters in the infield

Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com

last year and we got a lot of important experience that has carried over into our senior season.

Geneva baseball coach Matt Hahn says the 2016 Vikings “might be the best defensive team I’ve had” in 12 seasons at Geneva.

Can this team get over the hump and win a regional this year? We definitely think we can. We have it all on this team, we feel like, and it’s just about keeping it going.

Continued from page 2

How do you stack Geneva up with Batavia and St. Charles North this year? They are very good teams, but I think we can beat anyone. If we play our game and worry about things we can control, it’ll go a long way to being where we want to at the end of the season.

It’s about winning at all costs for this Vikings team, who won’t view the season as a success unless they hoist a regional championship plaque. “Every guy on this team just wants to win, whatever it takes,” Wassel said. “So this unit has been working well and hopefully that continues into the future.” “Those three guys [Wassel, Hasegawa and MacDonald] are as good as it gets over there,” Hostman said. “Our pitchers know – and at first base, I know – that they’ll make the plays and make a good throw. They make my job easy. I just have to catch the ball. Good pitching and defense can go a long way toward success, but it’s a long season, so we need to

keep the high confidence that we have right now.” It’s not a guarantee the strong defense will continue as Hostman noted the season has quite a way to go. With games against UEC River powers St. Charles North and Batavia on the schedule, focus and confidence will need to continue to be high for the Vikings, who entered the week of April 18 at 10-4 and 5-1 in the UEC River. It helps that it’s a senior-laden group, but Hahn has worked to instill confidence that anyone in a Vikings uniform can get the job done if called upon. “It’s nice to have, for sure,” Hostman said of the senior leadership. “It helps the pitchers know there are experienced guys behind them, but we have confidence in anyone on this team to step in and play well defensively. But, yeah, it’s nice to have a strong senior group in the infield.”

Wassel did it all against St. Charles East during the week of April 11. He was a tough out at the plate, connecting on five hits in a threegame, Upstate Eight Conference River Division series while driving in three runs. His defense at third base was slick as well as the Vikings took two of three games from the Saints.

As season begins, a fair warning: Rules are rules Now that’s more like it. Sun, 70-degree weather and some good baseball. It’s almost as if we were forced to endure the previous two weeks to get a week that offered a few days that were about as perfect as Alexander Cartwright Jr. dreamed about when he fathered the game. And you thought Abner Doubleday created this great game, didn’t you? I had a good run during the week of April 11 and some great games, including four that were decided by a single run, with a pair of walkoffs as well. Indeed, my faith was restored; short sleeves were donned and I was reprimanded by my wife for once again forgetting to wear sunscreen. The argument didn’t result in a “written warning” because we haven’t adopted that silly rule in our marriage unlike the National Federation of State High School Associations. Beginning this year, umpires are now required to issue a written warning to a coach for any minor violation of Rule 3-3-1f, 1-5 (g-k). So now I’m forced to haul my Adler Contessa compact portable typewriter from the ’70s along with me just in case a coach converts into a clown. Thankfully, I haven’t had to issue a written warning yet, but I’m sure that

QUILL THE UMPIRE Chris Rollin Walker

I believe this rule will allow some coaches to slowly eat away at umpires and naturally a younger, more inexperienced umpire is more liable to succumb to such antics. time will come, and since I have my retro typewriter I’ll be sure to write stuff like, “Coach, what you did was not groovy and you’re now causing things to get heavy, so mellow out in the dugout, can you dig? Peace out.” Just imagine an overweight umpire like me typing on top of a doghouse like Snoopy. The NFHS’s rationale for this rule change is “to assist the game official in preventative officiating and to respond with the appropriate penalty when dealing with the behavior of the coach.”

I was told that some baseball coaches had complained that they never get warnings. They even compared baseball with soccer in that coaches can get warned via a yellow card before getting ejected with a red one. Apparently, they forgot this isn’t soccer. Look at baseball at any of the other levels. There are no written warnings. I can understand if some umpires have been quick with the trigger, and obviously I have no idea if such has been the case, but I know that I don’t, and in all my years of doing this, I’ve never met a partner who showed off a trigger finger like The Waco Kid. I believe this rule will allow some coaches to slowly eat away at umpires and naturally a younger, more inexperienced umpire is more liable to succumb to such antics. Hopefully, most coaches won’t go down that path, but inevitably some will, and it’s comparable to the stupid balk warning rule that many competitive travel leagues still utilize. The balk warning rule allows pitchers to receive a warning on their first offense with no penalty. The rule is supposedly there to try to teach kids, but why stop with the balk warning? Why not a strike three warning so the kid can get a fourth strike? Seriously? Get rid of the rule and teach the kids during practice. Why does this have me so worked up? Well, what’s happened with the balk warning is that some coaches use it to their advantage to try to steal an out. Their pitchers know what a balk is and likely won’t do it. They also know they can get away with a warning so they’ll do something illegal in the hopes that it slips by the umpire. If it does, they may get a key out in a crucial time in the game. If they get caught, no harm is done. They are given a warning and it’s as if nothing has happened. Now I’m all worked up, but I’ll keep my cool, which I also hope that coaches do for the remainder of the season. Thankfully, for the most part, my experiences at the high school level have been positive ones. Rarely does a game go by where you don’t hear some chirping from both benches, but that’s

something I accepted – well before any current high school student was even born – as part of a game where you have countless pitches and any one that’s borderline is going to upset one dugout. It happens. What you don’t want to occur is for it to go beyond that, but it undoubtedly does sometimes, and now coaches have to be sent to timeout with a written warning that they certainly can’t proudly put on their fridge. Thankfully, the NFHS at least got something right. Major unsportsmanlike acts won’t require a warning to be given. It would’ve been ridiculous to have to give a polite written warning to someone who made contact with you, kicked dirt on you, threatened you with physical harm or used vulgar or profane language. Then again, if the coaches keep whining, maybe they’ll enforce another rule where we have to put them on double secret probation or some other nonsense. A spokesman for the NFHS said, “A successful game official practices preventive officiating, and this new penalty progression will allow the official to issue penalties that give the coach the opportunity to remain in the game and teach his players.” Apparently, he didn’t realize we already were doing that. Update: Late on the afternoon of April 17, I umpired my first two youth travel games of the season and ejected a pair of coaches. One was just begging for it despite me warning him repeatedly to stop arguing balls and strikes. The other one didn’t like my double play call, so he decided to shout the infamous expletive from “A Christmas Story” followed by a popular second-person pronoun. Folks, these were games being played by 13- and 14-year-olds who were tarnished by two adults who aren’t nearly as mature as the kids they coach.

Why has the defense, in particular, been so strong? We have emphasized that the defense starts with the forwards. When the forwards have high pressure, everything kind of falls together. We hope that we can make it easier on the defenders when the forwards and midfielders do their jobs. But it still comes back to that communication and getting used to how each girl plays. I’m sure it doesn’t hurt to have an experienced goalkeeper like Jenny Scara, huh? Jenny has definitely helped us so much. She’s really good at reading the ball, like when to step and when not to. It’s really nice to know that we have someone there to have our backs if the ball does get through the defense. We’re really thankful to have her. Does her communication in the back help you guys as well? Oh, definitely. She’s one of the most talkative ones on the team. We have halftime talks before the coaches come over, and Jenny is always the one to stand up and encourage us. She can see the whole field and sees things that we can’t sometimes. It’s always positive feedback and it really helps us a lot.

What makes coach Mark Gianfrancesco such a good coach for this group? I think mostly just his positive attitude. I mean, sometimes if you mess up, he’ll tell you to pick it up. When we come off the field, he makes sure to tell you pointers to work on and what he sees. When we get back on the field, we know exactly what to focus on. It’s usually always positive and his feedback (is) meant to help and not tear you down. Where have you seen your game improve the most since coming to Batavia as a freshman? I think it’s my confidence. My freshman year when I was trying out for JV, I was super nervous being the young one on the team. I didn’t want the spotlight. I would just pass it quickly to get rid of the ball. But now, being an upperclassman, I’m comfortable taking my time on the ball, which allows me to see the field well and find my teammates.

What’s been so key to the strong start? Honestly, even though we have a bunch of new girls on the team this year, we have all just bonded super quickly on and off the field. Since the first days of practice, we have been working on communication and have gotten so much better at that. It’s allowed us to find each other so much better and has helped us create opportunities to score.

Batavia girls soccer senior midfielder Anna Lins has been a big reason behind the Bulldogs’ fast start this season. In her second year on varsity, Lins had scored four goals entering the week of April 18 for a Batavia team that had outscored opponents 48-8 while winning nine of its first 11 matches. Lins, a senior, caught up with Kane County Chronicle sports reporter Chris Casey in the second edition of the Weekly Chit-chat to discuss Batavia’s strong start to the season and more. An edited transcript follows:

Great Scot: Dan Evers vaulting with urgency Kaneland alum making strides at Monmouth Dan Evers took a cross-state ride for a last chance at glory. The Monmouth sophomore pole vaulter didn’t qualify for the NCAA Division III indoor championships March 4 when he failed to clear the required height at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wis. Dan Evers So, with Monmouth assistant coach Steven Andris and teammate Joe Ward – who had already qualified for nationals – Evers packed up his gear and made a threehour trip to Wisconsin-Stevens Point for the aptly named “Last Chance” qualifier. There was no time for rest or a new game plan. On what he said was “pure adrenaline,” Evers, a Kaneland graduate, earned a trip to indoor nationals with a jump of 15 feet, 10 inches and tied for first place. A last-day qualifier, Evers went on to become an all-American one week

ON CAMPUS James Nokes later when he finished sixth at nationals with a vault of 16-2. “Just qualifying was an amazing ending to my season,” said the sophomore from Sugar Grove, who finished ninth at the 2014 IHSA Class 2A state meet as a senior at Kaneland. “I really just went to have fun. There are so many guys there that are super nervous and all wrapped up in their vaults. I didn’t even know what place I was in. When I heard Joe and I were sixth and seventh, I was ecstatic.” Andris is a 2015 Monmouth alumnus, Evers’ former teammate and a current assistant coach with the track and field team who works with the vaulters, jumpers and javelin throwers. He said Evers’ work ethic combined with a growth spurt between his freshman and sophomore seasons was a catalyst in his indoor season success. Because he’d grown a few inches and gained 15 pounds in the offseason,

Evers has been able to change his equipment. His additional size and strength has allowed Evers to transition to a longer pole and yielded a string of new personal bests. “Dan has a lot of fun out there,” Andris said. “He brings a lot of energy to the team. He works super hard in the weight room and is a real overachiever. I told him to try a new pole and see what happens. Dan has a lot of trust in me; if I tell him to move up a pole he knows I’ve got a good reason why.” While athletes expect unpredictable weather as the outdoor season gets underway, the Washington University Invitational on April 3 brought a challenge every vaulter wanted to wait to pass. Except for Evers. He’d waited long enough. It was time to walk off his 100-foot approach, which is eight paces from the back, and make his vault. With a 30 mph cross-tailwind, Evers set a new outdoor best by a foot with a 15-9 vault and a third-place finish. “I was getting blown around all over, but I guess I was used to it,” Evers said. “I wanted to wait for the wind to die down, too. But it wasn’t going to do that. I just went up and got

after it. I fought through it, hung on at the top and got over the bar.” With Ward’s first-place finish and Evers’ third leading the way, the Scots, who are ranked No. 4 in the latest United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Division III poll, finished third in the 30-team field in St. Louis. It was a risky vault that pushed the edge, but it pales in comparison to the friendly wager Andris has with Evers. If Evers posts a vault of 16-4.75 inches, Andris will vault with him at the May 7 Fighting Scot Invitational which Monmouth hosts. Failure to post a vault of that height and Andris has a pair of super-short shorts Evers will have to wear for the home meet. “You’ve got to be a little bit crazy to try the pole vault anyway,” Andris quipped. After a vault in howling wind, competition in extra-short shorts doesn’t sound so risky.

Becca Richtman Kaneland Girls Track & Field / Soccer

Cameron Kovanda South Elgin Boys Baseball

Richtman added soccer to her spring sports repertoire as a junior and has helped spur the Knights to early-season success, including playing a key role in an April 5 victory at DeKalb. On the track, she provides a stabilizing force to the Knights’ 4x400 and 4x800 relays, both of which won Class 2A indoor titles at the recent Illinois Prep Top Times Meet in Bloomington.

One of the young leaders of the Storm’s baseball team, Cameron is a very good defender and can play multiple spots in the infield. His best game came when he pulled a ground ball to the left side of the infield that scored the winning run in South Elgin’s 4-3 comeback win over Hampshire.

Congratulations, Becca!

Congratulations, Cameron!

Chef Alain Roby opens new fine-dining restaurant in Geneva

Kane Weekend / KCChronicle.com • Thursday, April 21, 2016

| KANE WEEKEND

Primo experience Chef Alain Roby opens new fine-dining restaurant By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Chef Alain Roby likes sweets. He also likes fine dining. Who says he couldn’t combine the two? Roby has done just that with his recent expansion of Geneva’s All Chocolate Kitchen, adding his fine-dining restaurant, Primo. A 21-year-old and over restaurant, Primo, which literally means “first dish” in Italian, offers customers a unique experience unlike any other, according to the world-renowned chef. After discovering recipes from his mother and grandmother, Roby opened Primo with a set focus to bring some of those items to the menu. Menu items will include a selection of domestic, French and Italian artisanal cheeses, charcuterie, crab avocado sliders, short ribs in a red wine sauce, Grandmother Louise’s eggplant confit and more. Primo will also feature a selection of local, French, German and Italian wines. The uniqueness goes beyond the food with the atmosphere that Roby has created. The restaurant seats anywhere from 25 to 30 people and has select hours Wednesday through Saturday nights. Reservations are not required, but Roby did say there have been requests for tables into May at this point. Decor includes a 22-foot chocolate tower that customers can enjoy visually while dining. Roby caught up with Kane County Chronicle reporter Chris Casey to talk about Primo and the response from customers.

Chris Casey: Where did this idea to open Primo come from? Chef Alain Roby: The space was avail-

However, with how much hard work and preparation went into this, menu?

St. Charles North High School students Emily Bettler (left), as Annie, and Emi Kaliski (right), as Grace Farrell, rehearse a scene from the musical “Annie” at the school.

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – It’s almost showtime in St. Charles. Not just one but both of the city’s high schools are presenting their spring musicals the weekend of April 23. St. Charles East is featuring “The Pirates of Penzance” from April 22 to 24 while St. Charles North is performing “Annie” from April 21 to 24. Students from both schools have spent weeks preparing for an audience, and the prep work hasn’t just been on the stage. Brooke Lynch and Maddi LeBlanc, both 16-year-old sophomores at East, were among cast members who spent a recent rehearsal in a dressing room trying on mustaches. Made of wool, the fake facial hair is part of their role as police officers, they said, complaining that the adhesive they must apply above their lip smells like fish. Both girls spoke enthusiastically about “Penzance,” describing the show as lighthearted and silly with phenomenal music. Elsewhere in the theater, 17-yearold senior and tech crew member Zoe Kowalczyk was focused on the “Penzance” sets, which she said she helped build and design. The goal, she said, is to make them “as big and elaborate as we can.” At North, a staircase set piece attracted students’ attention as they walked into the auditorium for a rehearsal that focused on choreography. As three cast members – seniors

For senior Bailey Ricketts, 18, her presence wasn’t required because she’s not a cast member or part of tech crew. She attended rehearsals because her dog, Casey, portrays the dog Sandy in “Annie.” The canine got the role because she matches Sandy’s description, Ricketts said, “and she’s trained.” Here are the other “Annie” cast members: Amanda Vallejera, Dewey Bolz, Skylar Ratliff, Ally Warden, Gabrielle Nicastro, Grace Maloney, Grace Taylor, Olivia Zimmermann, Taryn Kolodziej, Jacob Rollins, Miranda Keigher, Tracy Suppes, Haley

By ERIC SCHELKOPF editorial@kcchronicle.com The last time Johnny Depp was in Aurora, filming was going on for his movie “Public Enemies.” Depp will return to Aurora on July 7 when he performs at RiverEdge Park with Alice Cooper and Joe Perry as part of the supergroup Hollywood Vampires. “What more is there to say, it’s Alice Cooper, Joe Perry and Johnny Depp all together and all together on the RiverEdge Park stage; it’s mind blowing,” said Jim Jarvis, vice president of marketing for RiverEdge Park, in a statement. “They burnt the house down at the Grammys, and they’re going to rock the rafters at our place. If you’ve never heard them together, go online and check out their concert at Rock in Rio in front of 100,000 fans. They’re just pure rock ‘n’ roll. Then go get your tickets to this show because they are going to sell out RiverEdge Park, and you’re going to want to be there to experience this entire night.” RiverEdge Park is located at 360 N. Broadway St. in downtown Aurora. Gates for the show will open at 6:30 p.m.; showtime is 8 p.m. Online ticket sales started April 8 at riveredgeaurora.com.

And Roundup’s menu hasn’t changed much since the restaurant opened in Sugar Grove, either. “Eighty to 90 percent of the original menu is still served today,” Pantea said. “We like to think we offer a high-quality pub menu with options such as Angus steak burgers, fish and chips and barbecue ribs.” Roundup is also a great place to

Mulching with organic material LEARNING TO GROW Susan Styer not fit the style of your garden. To apply mulch, spread it evenly over the soil, 2 to 3 inches deep, but leave a ring of a few inches around the base of each plant. This will help prevent disease by keeping the plant stems dry. Cocoa bean shells should be only about 1 inch deep to prevent them from becoming moldy. If your grass clippings are fresh, apply them in thin, 1/4-inch layers and let each layer dry before adding more. Wood chips break down more slowly than other organic mulches, but you will still need to add some chips every year to maintain coverage. Organic mulches will improve your soil, help your plants perform at their peak and add beauty to your garden.

You’ve planted your flowering annuals; the perennials are up and thriving; and the vegetable garden is beginning to take off. To help ensure your hard work pays off throughout the season, consider applying mulch. Mulching is simply covering the soil around your plants with a layer of material. Using mulch has many benefits, including reducing weeds, keeping more water in the soil, moderating the soil temperature and giving a finished look to your garden. Overall, mulching can reduce stress on your plants, helping to improve their growth. Organic mulches are made from living materials that will break down and add organic matter to soil, improving the quality of your soil. Your choice of materials depends on your budget and landscape preferences. You can use shredded leaves, dried grass clippings (without weed treatment/no herbicides), straw, sawdust or ground corncobs. These materials break down during the growing season, so they are good for a vegetable garden. If you use sawdust or ground corncob mulch, you may need to add some additional nitrogen fertilizer to the soil to prevent yellowish leaves and poor production. Some communities even offer free wood chips that are fine to use but may

John Pantea and Ken Arnold two years ago brought a little more country to Sugar Grove with the opening of Roundup Sports Bar & Grill. Two years later, the restaurant is going strong, having become an integral part of Sugar Grove’s dining scene. “We chose the western theme because we felt it fit the area,” Pantea said. “The Sugar Grove community is surrounded by people who love the country life, so we wanted to bring that into our restaurant.” Roundup is known for its food, drinks and entertainment. It hosts trivia night at 7 p.m. every Wednesday (with a chance to win prizes) and open mic night at 8:30 p.m. every Thursday, and it has occasionally has a band play on the weekend. For drinkers, the bar has 16 beers on tap, 50 bottled beers and a considerable liquor selection. And the customers can’t stop talking about the food. One customer raved on Facebook about the granny apple bacon burger, saying, “The burger with sweet potato fries is awesome. The dipping sauce for the sweet potato fries tastes as if angels from

watch sporting events. With its 13 HD flat screen TVs and a state-of-the-art sound system, it brings in big crowds for Chicago sporting games. “The big Chicago games, especially a Blackhawks playoff game, take over the atmosphere of the bar during the week, replacing the open mic night or trivia night if they fall on the same day,” Pantea said. Recent Route 30 construction has been a slight setback for the restaurant, but that hasn’t stopped the regulars from coming in. Roundup has a steady flow of between 50 and 100 customers each day, with Wednesday through Saturday being its most crowded days. Once Route 30 construction is completed and Roundup’s parking lot is repaved, Pantea said he hopes to build an outdoor beer garden/patio that will expand seating by 60 to 80 people. The outdoor space would allow Roundup to host bags tournaments, outdoor entertainment and even an outdoor volleyball court. “These are all things we are considering, but it will depend on what our landlord and the city allows us to do,” Pantea said.

Albright Theatre to begin ‘Over the Tavern’ April 22 By BEN DRAPER bdraper@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – A North Aurora man will make his directorial debut when the Albright Theatre in Batavia presents “Over the Tavern,” which opens April 22 for an eight-show run. Jeff Pripusich didn’t intend on directing the play at first – he instead was drawn to one of the roles. “At first I didn’t plan to consider putting my Jeff hat in the ring to direct Pripusich this show. But the more I read the script, a vision of each character grew larger and larger in my mind’s eye. Before I knew it, I had this clear vision of how I thought this play should be staged, including the set design, music and sounds,” he said. “When I found out I was chosen to direct, I hit the ground running.” The Tom Dudzick play is a warm and hilarious look at family, faith and growing up in the 1950s. Twelve-yearold Rudy Pazinski is a smart kid, with an even smarter mouth, who is starting to question his parents, rules and the Roman Catholic Church. When Rudy goes up against the ruler-wielding Sister Clarissa and announces that instead of being confirmed he’d rather shop around for a more “fun” religion, prepare yourself for a little fire and brimstone and a lot of laughs. “It’s not just a show about living in the 1950s as a Catholic family, it’s a slice of life that many people can relate to, highlighting the trials and tribulations of the average family with all its joys and pitfalls,” Pripusich said. “It’s a wonderful story with many touching and humorous moments. I hope audiences can see a part of themselves or their family and friends in one or more of the

Landon Keller (Batavia), Nathan Reilly (Glen Ellyn), Abby Kennedy (Batavia), Jami Johnson (Geneva) and Jim Oberg (Oswego) are the other members of the Pazinski family, and Dorothy Attermeyer (Hinsdale) plays Sister Clarissa. This production of “Over the Tavern” is supported by assistant director and stage manager Cara Schuster of Batavia and producer Jeannine Collins of Carol Stream. “At auditions, I hoped to have a good turnout of actors to choose from to fill each role. I never dreamed that each and every actor we selected would be exactly whom I had in mind for their respective parts,” Pripusich said. “With each passing week as we approach opening night, my love for this cast and show continues to grow. I can’t wait for folks to come and see it.” Pripusich said he feels a personal connection with the script. “I grew up in the Catholic faith and had a few Sister Clarissas at my grade school,” he said.

In “Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat” (Clarkson Potter), Chrissy Teigen capitalizes on her social media popularity and supermodel status to build on her credentials as a competent home cook who’s eager to share her enthusiasm for all things culinary. Teigen, whose image once graced the cover of a Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, has a food website with some five million Instagram followers. She describes the kitchen as her favorite room “wherever I am living.” In the introduction to the book she co-authored with food writer Adeena Sussman, Teigen exclaims: “Cooking can be intimidating to a lot of people, and I want you to know you really can make a great meal without having gone to Le Cordon Bleu.” Alongside her mouthwatering recipes, readers will encounter a liberal dose of glamour photos of Teigen and her celebrity spouse, R&B singer John Legend. The book itself devotes chapters to breakfast, soups, salads, noodles and carbs and “things that intimidate people but shouldn’t,” among others. There’s even one focused on recipes from Teigen’s mother, who was born in Thailand. Sesame Chicken Noodles (recipe below) is palate-pleasing and a surefire hit that busy cooks will return to time and again. Preparation time is 15 minutes; overall time to get to the table: 45 minutes.

Sesame Chicken Noodles Serves 4 as a light meal or 6 as a side dish

Kosher salt 1 eight-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breast 8 ounces dried fettuccine 2 tsp. sesame oil 1/4 cup peanut oil 1/4 cup tahini 3 Tbl. soy sauce 2 Tbl. red wine vinegar 2 tsp. chili oil 1 tsp. honey 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper* 1 garlic clove, minced 2 scallions, thinly sliced * Note: We found using 1/8 tsp. sufficed. Readers should use their own discretion.

Chrissy Teigen has written the cookbook “Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat,” which was co-authored with food writer Adeena Sussman. Alongside her mouthwatering recipes, readers will encounter a liberal dose of glamour photos of Teigen and her celebrity spouse, R&B singer John Legend. Fill a large saucepan two-thirds full of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Salt so that it tastes good, add the chicken breast and remove the pot from the heat. Cover and let the chicken sit until cooked but very tender, about 15 minutes. (If you’re using two smaller breasts, decrease the time by about 3 minutes.) Remove the chicken from the water (don’t throw the water away). Cut into the chicken to check its doneness; if it’s still a little pink, return it to the water for another minute or two. Remove the chicken to a plate and let it rest while you cook the noodles. Bring the water the chicken was cooked in back to a boil over high heat. Add the fettuccine and cook to al dente according to the package directions. Drain, rinse the pasta in cold water until cool, then shake it dry in a colander. While the pasta cooks in a medium bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil, the peanut oil, tahini, soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, honey, cayenne and garlic until smooth. Transfer the noodles to a large bowl and use a clean paper towel to gently pat the noodles as dry as is actually reasonable. Toss the noodles with the remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Shred the chicken with your hands or chop it into bite-size pieces and add it to the noodles. Add the remaining dressing and toss to coat. Garnish with the scallions.

Groaning ensued. “I gotta go to—” “It’s right here,” I whispered, as I turned the corner. “What?” she said. “A chair … a loveseat!” I discovered, as we pulled up alongside a tufted loveseat with a rolled back and sturdy wooden feet, sitting proudly in the sun on the sidewalk for someone to love it. I sighed, clapping my hands together. “We have nowhere to put it,” Noah said. Huh. “Someone’s butt’s been on it,” Holly said. Well, yes. “And it has mites.” Killjoy. “You don’t know that,” I replied.

Diet may protect brain and heart Dear Dr. K: I know that the Mediterranean diet is supposed to improve heart health. Recently I heard it also improves brain health. Is that pretty well established? Of all the organs I want to protect, my brain is “numero uno.” Dear Reader: I agree with your priorities regarding organs: My brain is “numero uno,” too. And I do think the evidence is strong that the Mediterranean diet does protect the brain. This diet emphasizes fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, nuts, fish, poultry, olive oil and wine. Most of the evidence about the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet comes from observational studies. In such studies, large numbers of people are followed for many years. Information about their lifestyle and any diseases they may have developed is collected. Most such studies have found that people who follow the Mediterranean diet have a lowered risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. However, observational studies that link a lifestyle behavior to a disease (or to protection against a disease) can’t prove causation. That is, it may be true that people who follow a Mediterranean diet do have a lower risk of Alzheimer’s, but that doesn’t mean that the diet is the reason for the lower risk. Something else about people who follow the Mediterranean diet may protect them from Alzheimer’s. To prove causation, scientists must conduct randomized controlled trials. Such studies are not often done to test the effect of lifestyle on health; they are very expensive and impractical. To prove that the Mediterranean diet reduced the risk of Alzheimer’s, scientists would need to have thousands of people assigned at random to either follow the Mediterranean diet or not – for 20 to 30 years. And the scientists would need to ensure that those

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff tens of thousands of people really were eating the way the study told them to eat. Smaller and shorter randomized trials are more practical, but less likely to provide definite answers. One such study was reported in 2013. About 300 people in Spain were assigned to follow either the Mediterranean diet or a low-fat diet for about four years. Intensive tests of thinking were performed at the start of the study and after four years. The people who followed the Mediterranean diet had a modest improvement in several measures of thinking. Those who followed the low-fat diet had a slight deterioration. In 2015, a novel observational study was reported. About 700 people, with an age range of 65 to 90, had magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed to examine their brains. Those who followed the Mediterranean diet had larger brains, or brains that had shrunk less since they were young. They had brains that were the size of people five years younger, compared to people who did not follow the diet. The specific factors in the diet that seemed most closely tied to larger brains were eating lots of fish and little red meat. I’m not arguing that the Mediterranean diet has been proven to protect the brain. But the evidence is strong enough that I have long since adopted the diet myself. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE ANSWERS

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY When my friend became pregnant, Jeanne her boyfriend Phillips didn’t stick around to be in the baby’s life. The three of us had gone to school together, and they started dating years later. When she asked me to be the child’s godmother, I said yes. The baby is 5 months old now. While I was out at a bar recently, I ran into the boyfriend. My friend is now mad at me because I said hello to him. She thinks I should have ignored him, given him a dirty look or had words with him in public, but that’s not me. She’s now saying she never wants to talk to me or see me again. She told me to have a good life! I know she’s bitter, but I feel that was a little extreme. What should I do? – Confused Godmother Dear Confused: Frankly, I think you should take this vindictive individual at her word until she apologizes. If you do as I suggest, there will be far less turmoil and drama in your life. Dear Abby: My girlfriend and I each own our homes and have about the same mortgage payment. She ends up staying with me most of the time because I live closer to where we both work. I recently found out that she has been Airbnbing her condo a lot of the weekends when she stays with me. I feel taken advantage of even though it doesn’t really affect me whether her place is empty or she’s getting rent. What is the etiquette on such an arrangement? Should I be getting a cut? I feel if I told her I wanted to stay at her place and rent out mine, she would want some of the money. – Weekend Roomies Dear Weekend Roomies: There is no rule of etiquette governing whether you’re entitled to some of the income she receives from renting out her place while she’s visiting you. Discuss this with your entrepreneurial girlfriend and see how she feels about sharing the wealth. Her reaction will give insight into her character. Dear Abby: I am an elementary school teacher, and I have noticed that many of my colleagues come to work when they’re sick. Taking time away from work to recover from an illness seems to be viewed as weakness. We have sick days, but they are proud of the fact that they don’t use them. These coworkers wear their illnesses like badges of honor -- as if coming to work sick somehow shows their dedication. I feel it is inconsiderate to the children and to other staff members who are forced to spend hours with them in enclosed spaces exposed to their germs. I’m not sure how to express my feelings without causing a rift because one of the worst offenders is the principal. Any suggestions? –

She has been seeing a guy for over a year and it wouldn’t surprise me if they got married in the next few years. Her boyfriend has a sister my age. I’ve seen her several times when our two families have been together. She is very nice and not bad looking. Last Saturday, I was at the mall with a buddy and I saw her and a friend in a bookstore and we stopped and said hello. Before we left, I asked “Rosa” if she would go out with me sometime and she said, “Call me.” When I came home I told my sister about seeing Rosa and said I had asked her out. I thought she’d be happy for me, but she said she didn’t want me to go out with her. When I asked why, she said it would be “too heavy” for a brother and a sister to be dating a brother and a sister. I don’t think her philosophy makes sense. What do you think? Please hurry with your answer. – Pedro, Las Cruces,

Sick & Tired in California Dear Sick & Tired: Just this: You are entitled

to air your feelings about this with other staff members in the teachers’ lounge. However, if you think your principal might retaliate if you complain about his/her lack of consideration, make a point of keeping your distance when your boss shows any symptoms of something contagious.

N.M. Pedro : I think your sister is

not thinking rationally. Identical twins have married identical twins and had successful marriages.

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace My father married my mother and his brother married my mother’s sister and they all lived happily ever after – well, as happily as two Irish couples could! Dr. Wallace : I’m 19 and dating a guy who is 23. He’s a good guy and he says he loves me and wants to marry me. I care for him a lot and marriage to him is a possibility. The hang-up is Alex’s mother. When I was 16, I got pregnant and since I don’t believe in abortion I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Emma is now 2 and lives with my mother and me. She is most important in my life and I love her with all my heart and soul. Of course, Alex knows Emma and seems to like her. Alex and his mother are very close because she raised him by herself. His father was killed in an auto accident when he was only 3 years old. Alex’s mother despises me because I am an unwed mother. She rarely talks to me and lately I have refused to go to her house because I don’t want her to feel uncomfortable.

Alex admits that his mother does not like me and doesn’t want him to marry me. He thinks that in time, she will come around and learn to accept me. He also admits that she probably will never accept Emma as her granddaughter. All this makes me feel very uneasy. I know that it will be entirely up to me to decide if I want to marry Alex, but I’d appreciate your input with regard to the situation. – Nameless,

Joplin, Mo. Nameless : Plan to marry Alex

only when you are convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that he loves you and will be a wonderful, loving father to Emma and that you truly love him and you want to share the rest of your life with him. If the love I mentioned is evident, it will overpower the close tie between Alex and his mother. If he won’t concede that his mother will drop to number three in importance in his life, behind you and Emma, do not consider marrying him. If that’s the case, he’s not ready for such a commitment and his mother’s influence could erode the marriage. • Write to Dr. Wallace at rwallace@thegreatestgift.com.

TELEVISION Best Bets THURSDAY

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM The Big Bang Theory No one likes to be caught in the middle of an argument ... which is even more the case when Sheldon and Leonard (Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki) are the two people fighting, as in the new episode “The Viewing Party Combustion.” Neither of them lets anything go easily, and the other members of the group are wary of choosing a side in the battle. Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch also star. 7 p.m. on % WMAQ Strong For the seven of the original 10 teams still in the competition, the title of the new episode “Don’t Give Up the Fight” has true meaning. Adam and CC have a big conflict. A Medallion Challenge means the Elimination Tower looms for the second time for one of the squads, and two of the duos eventually end up there. Gabrielle Reece is the host of the show, which includes Sylvester Stallone among its executive producers. 7 p.m. on _ WLS Grey’s Anatomy A young accidental-shooting victim is the principal concern of the doctors in the new episode “Trigger Happy.” Callie’s (Sara Ramirez) decision about Sophia upsets Arizona (Jessica Capshaw), who isn’t happy about not being consulted first. Wilmer Valderrama continues his guest role. Ellen Pompeo, Justin Chambers, Chandra Wilson, James Pickens Jr. and Kevin McKidd also star. 7 p.m. on ) WGN DC’s Legends of Tomorrow What’s the story with Rip (Arthur Darvill)? The question largely is answered by the new episode “Last Refuge,” as the character assigns the Legends to kidnap their younger selves — the state in which he first met them — when a killer known as the Pilgrim (guest star Faye Kingslee) targets those more youthful versions. The experience proves challenging for Professor Stein (Victor Garber), Sara (Caity Lotz) and others who have problems with their pasts. 7 p.m. on @ WFLD Bones Brennan (Emily Deschanel) can’t keep her feelings out of an investigation in the new episode “The Murder of the Meninist.” A fatal car crash leads her to a men’s-rights organization that has very specific views on women — of a sort that enrages Brennan. Not helping her mood: Booth’s (David Boreanaz) belief that she’s a jinx on hockey’s Philadelphia Flyers. Angela (Michaela Conlin) and others try to boost Hodgins’ (TJ Thyne) spirits. 7:31 p.m. on ^ WBBM The Odd Couple Not seen much since “Desperate Housewives” ended, Teri Hatcher resurfaces in the new episode “From Here to Maturity,” guest-starring as a neighbor whose nanny (guest star Brianne Howey) catches the eye of the considerably older Oscar (Matthew Perry). Emily (Lindsay

Anna Faris stars in “Mom” Thursday on CBS. Sloane) wants Felix (Thomas Lennon) to reciprocate for her willingness to accommodate his interests by having him get involved in one of hers. Wendell Pierce and Yvette Nicole Brown also star. 8 p.m. on _ WLS Scandal Though she has the residual effects of her recent actions to consider, Olivia (Kerry Washington) also is concerned about Jake and Rowan (Scott Foley, Joe Morton) upon learning their plans in the new episode “Til Death Do Us Part.” She’s even more worried to find their scheme already is in motion, prompting her to take prompt but difficult action. Flashbacks reveal major points of Jake’s background. Tony Goldwyn, Bellamy Young and Joshua Malina also star. 8 p.m. on ) WGN The 100 The return of Jaha (Isaiah Washington) means different things to different people in the new episode “Demons.” Murphy (Richard Harmon) is shocked to run into a certain someone. Octavia (Marie Avgeropoulos) finds possibly vital information. Bob Morley, Devon Bostick, Lindsey Morgan and Christopher Larkin also star. 8 p.m. on @ WFLD American Grit Current losers of the competition have a chance to reverse their fortunes in the new episode “Ice Cubed,” as members of the low-ranking teams are sent to “The Circus.” They have to work together, with only one of two options: to establish a system by which they all succeed, or to throw in the towel — never the preferred result on this series. John Cena is the host, and members of the military-veteran “cadre” include Noah Galloway and Nick Irving. 8:01 p.m. on ^ WBBM Mom Christy (Anna Faris) has a hard time relating to the late Jodi’s boyfriend (guest star Jesse Luken) — and suppressing her true emotions — when he attends a recovery meeting she’s at in the new episode “Beast Mode and Old People Kissing.” Such gatherings also generate a problem for Bonnie (Allison Janney), whose beau Adam (William Fichtner) would rather have her spend the time with him. Mimi Kennedy, Jaime Pressly and Beth Hall also star.

8:30 p.m. on ^ WBBM 2 Broke Girls Caroline’s (Beth Behrs) life was the reason for the trip that took her and Max (Kat Dennings) to Hollywood, but it’s Max’s life that’s the focus of the new episode “And the Attack of the Killer Apartment.” Randy (guest star Ed Quinn), who has followed her from the West Coast to the East Coast, wants to see her home in order to learn more about her. Caroline pursues a license to serve liquor at the dessert bar. Steve Agee (“New Girl”) also guest stars. 9 p.m. on % WMAQ Game of Silence A decision by Gil (Michael Raymond-James) to operate in his own appears destined to have effects on others in the new episode “Hurricane Gil.” He surprises one of the former Quitman guards, prompting Jackson (David Lyons) to develop serious doubts about remaining a part of the revenge scheme. Larenz Tate, Bre Blair, Claire van den Boom and Conor O’Farrell also star. 9 p.m. on _ WLS The Catch A possible political upheaval is faced by a client Alice (Mireille Enos) has had for some time, due to a blackmail threat, in the new episode “The Laragan Gambit.” In a bid to cover a debt, Ben and Margot (Peter Krause, Sonya Walger) stage a risky jewelry robbery. Alice’s doubts about Dao (Jacky Ido) increase. Guest stars include Erica Gimpel (“Fame”) and David Andrews. Alimi Ballard and Rose Rollins also star.

FRIDAY

7:31 p.m. on _ WLS Dr. Ken The sitcom ends its season with the tellingly titled “Ken Tries Stand-Up,” in which Ken (Ken Jeong) is inspired to attempt a comedy performance upon being visited by a college pal (guest star Jeff Ross) who’s made a name for himself in that field. In the process, Ken learns a lot about that profession — sort of an inside joke, since Jeong’s success in stand-up led to his television and movie careers. Suzy Nakamura, Albert Tsai and Dave Foley also star. 8 p.m. on % WMAQ Grimm For all the talk there is of brittle bones, few are as unreliable as the ones inside a deceased man — or, more precisely, those that used to be inside him — in the new episode “Good to the Bone.” They apparently turned to liquid, and Nick and Hank’s (David Giuntoli, Russell Hornsby) probe leads them to the strange arrangements within a family. Hank has other concerns when a former girlfriend (guest star Sharon Leal) resurfaces. Reggie Lee also stars. 8 p.m. on _ WLS Shark Tank Never think that youth necessarily works against innovation, as two Denver high-schoolers prove with their twist on the ice-cream cone in this new episode. An Oregon inventor shows how a stroller for children also can provide a solid workout, and youngsters also are on the mind of a Texas woman who’s created a line of products for kids. Also, Las Vegas magicians use illusion in trying to sell the typically realistic Sharks on their business idea.

Bridget Moynahan stars in “Blue Bloods” Friday on CBS. 8 p.m. on @ WFLD Hell’s Kitchen The competition is at a critical phase, thanks to the surprising outcome of the previous round, as indicated by the title of the new episode “3 Chefs Compete.” A quickly prepared steak dish and two sides are judged by an executive chef from a Wolfgang Puck restaurant, who will prepare a meal himself for the winner and Chef Gordon Ramsay. The dinner service involves a few tricks played on the remaining contestants, to test their concentration. 9 p.m. on ^ WBBM Blue Bloods A case of terrorism in the Middle East prompts Frank (Tom Selleck) to worry that a related attack on New York may be imminent in “Worst Case Scenario.” Advised as usual by Garrett and Gormley (Gregory Jbara, Robert Clohessy), he tries to determine how to take necessary precautions without alarming the city’s general population. Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes, Len Cariou and Amy Carlson also star. 9 p.m. on + WTTW Jazz The Depression left the public seeking any form of escape ... which proved quite beneficial for jazz music, a fact verified by “The Velocity of Celebration (1937-1939)” as the encore of Ken Burns’ 2011 documentary series continues. The saxophone became a signature instrument of the genre, and a number of female musicians gained prominence. Also, New York’s Carnegie Hall became a showplace for jazz then, thanks largely to legendary bandleader Benny Goodman.

SATURDAY

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM NCIS: Los Angeles Has a missing teen been enlisted by terrorists? That’s the concern as the team becomes involved in the search for the young woman in “Defectors.” The thought that she could be involved in such activities is rejected by some, causing Callen (Chris O’Donnell), Sam (LL Cool J) and their comrades to lose valuable time in finding her. Linda Hunt, Daniela Ruah, Eric Christian Olsen and Miguel Ferrer also star.

When their rivalry gets them booted out of school, they set out to make their way in the world together. Helen Mirren is a fine addition to a voice cast that also includes Steve Buscemi and Alfred Molina. The score is by Randy Newman.

12 p.m. on _ WLS NBA Basketball Conference quarterfinal action continues today in the NBA playoffs with four games on ABC and TNT, the first of which pits the San Antonio Spurs and Memphis Grizzlies. The eight survivors of this round advance to next week’s conference semis. ABC, ESPN and TNT will have coverage of these best-of-seven series. 12 p.m. on @ WFLD NASCAR Racing Fans of “boys have at it” racing have certainly been in their glory the past three weeks with races at short tracks at Martinsville, Bristol and Richmond — the last being the home of today’s Toyota Owners 400. Kurt Busch dominated on the .75-mile Virginia oval a year ago, leading for 291 of 400 laps to outdistance Kevin Harvick and Jimmie Johnson and notch his 26th career victory and second at Richmond. 6 p.m. on @ WFLD Bordertown Bud (voice of Hank Azaria) holds fast when a “Wildfire” — the title of this new episode — forces an evacuation of Mexfornia. His refusal to leave his dwelling means Ernesto (voice of Nicholas Gonzalez) eventually has to rescue him. J.C. (also voiced by Gonzalez) and Becky (voice of Missi Pyle) decide not to be mutually exclusive and to start dating others. Alex Borstein and Judah Friedlander also are in the voice cast. 7 p.m. on ^ WBBM Madam Secretary A lot goes on for Henry (Tim Daly), on both the personal and professional fronts, in the new episode “Connection Lost.” He attends couples therapy with Elizabeth (Tea Leoni), conducted by her usual counselor (returning guest star Marsha Mason). However, that has to be fit in

Fox returns as attorney Louis Canning. 8 p.m. on _ WLS The Family Someone is looking in on Adam’s (Liam James) therapy sessions in the new episode “Betta Male,” as Nina (Margot Bingham) researches his background by observing his exchanges with his counselor. She’s also concerned about her detective partner’s disappearance. Hank (Andrew McCarthy) gets new insight into the identity of Adam’s abductor. Claire’s (Joan Allen) relatives rally around her as the gubernatorial debate nears. Grant Show guest stars. 8 p.m. on + WTTW Masterpiece Mystery! It could be the beginning of the end for Sidney and Geordie (James Norton, Robson Green) in the new “Episode 5” of “Grantchester Season 2,” though there’s still one more episode left in the current round. Geordie finds himself accused of the death of a suspect, a jewel thief (Matthew Jure) who had claimed Geordie was involved with his wife (Tanya Franks). Sidney tries to prove him innocent while dealing with several personal matters of his own. 8 p.m. on @ WFLD Family Guy Brian’s jokes irritate Stewie (both characters voiced by Seth MacFarlane) to the extent that they have a fight, prompting Stewie to create a companion in “Robot Guy.” As might be expected from that title, the pal is mechanical — and too smart for his inventor’s good, since he (it?) then unfriends Stewie. Peter (also voiced by MacFarlane) has to go mattress shopping at Lois’ (voice of Alex Borstein) insistence. Patrick Warburton also is heard. 8:30 p.m. on % WMAQ Crowded Ethan (Clifford McGhee) still can’t be dissuaded from his ardor for Shea (Miranda Cosgrove) when he falls under her supervision as a fastfood worker in the new episode “Unemployable.” Stella (Mia Serafino) becomes a new user of a webcam. Bob and Alice (Stacy Keach, Carlease Burke) debate what each of them should, and will, do if one ultimately has to determine the end of the other’s life. Carrie Preston and Patrick Warburton also star. 8:30 p.m. on @ WFLD The Last Man on Earth Todd (Mel Rodriguez) isn’t sure he’s quite ready to fulfill the favor that Tandy and Carol (Will Forte, Kristen Schaal) seek from him in the new episode “Falling Slowly.” The fact that Gail (Mary Steenburgen) loves her wine becomes a problem for others. January Jones and Cleopatra Coleman also star.
