EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK Kathy Balcazar

City officials take steps to regulate beekeeping

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Residential beekeepers in St. Charles might be facing a sting from the city.

In an Aug. 8 discussion about the issue – which the existing city code doesn’t address – the Planning and Development Committee unanimously agreed to limit beekeeping to a community bee garden setting.

City staff will work with the city attorney to draft an ordinance about the matter.

“It’s an agricultural use,” 2nd Ward Alderman Rita Payleitner said.

“That in and of itself needs to be addressed.”

Bob Vann, the city’s building and code enforcement division manager, brought the issue forward because staff members have been responding recently to residents’ questions and concerns about beekeeping.

He provided aldermen with information about other communities’ beekeeping requirements.

First Ward Alderman Dan Stellato noted that a “very small number” of

municipalities allow beekeeping.

“I’m not in favor of this at all,” he said, noting health concerns.

Aldermen heard from residents on both sides of the issue, including those concerned about bee stings and bees swarming. Paul Napolitano, who has hives on his Cambridge Court property, also addressed the committee.

Napolitano described his bees as “absolutely fascinating creatures” that don’t sting for the sake of stinging. They sting as a way to defend their hive, he said.

“My purpose is to help them get through the winter,” he said.

First Ward Alderman Ron Silkaitis said it doesn’t matter whether the bee in question is docile because people will take defensive action when they see bees, regardless of the type.

Third Ward Alderman Todd Bancroft asked Napolitano whether his bees could be relocated.

They could, Napolitano said. But, he added, it would have to be done “very carefully,” and the bees could die if they try to return to their original location.

St. Charles students set for school

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – As students roamed Thompson Middle School’s halls in search of their classes and lockers, Maria Sloncen stood with her sons – a third-grader and a sixth-grader – in the Learning Resource Center, a mix of emotions.

She’s excited for Christopher, 11, because she thinks he’ll like the programs the middle school offers, she said.

But she’s also nervous.

“It’s a big step,” she said, quickly adding, “a good step.”

Although St. Charles School District 303 will mark the first day of school on Aug. 24, Thompson Principal Tim Loversky said the Aug. 11 materials pickup day was the “unofficial start of the school year” for him.

The vibe in the building goes from two to 13 as excited kids get their schedules and learn who their teachers are, he said.

Thompson students are beginning the year in a building that has been under much discussion as the school board has grappled with how to address the aging structure.

During the spring Middle School Summit, the administration unveiled a plan to close Haines Middle School and presented three referendums that would address Thompson and Wredling Middle School.

The school board hasn’t yet decided when it will pursue a referendum – a survey of voters swayed the group away from the November ballot – but plans to revisit the issue in the fall. Loversky said he is excited to see what the board chooses to do.

Thompson has several challenges, including narrow hallways and outdated facilities, he said, noting how the science labs were cutting-edge in 1952.

“In 2016, they’re just old,” Loversky said.

Adrian Anderson, director of bands, said Thompson’s labyrinth of hallways isn’t great for students new to the school.

When he talks with kids, he said, anxiety about being late to class tops their concerns.

Both he and Loversky complimented the Maroon Crew – a group of parent volunteers – for assisting students at the start of the year. Loversky described their services, which

Police: IRS scam dupes Police: St. Charles resident Campton Hills resident encounters daytime burglar

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com CAMPTON HILLS – A Campton Hills man and his mother were duped into buying nearly $3,000 in gift cards after receiving calls from someone purporting to be an IRS agent who claimed the man owed back taxes, according to a Campton Hills police report.

Police Chief Dan Hoffman said people should hang up on such callers.

“The IRS will not call you,” he said, adding that agency uses mail for its correspondence.

In this case, police reported, the 33-year-old returned a voicemail he received about 10:30 a.m. Aug. 9 that claimed he owed back taxes.

He was told he needed to pay $2,965.17 or the Kane County sheriff would arrest him, the report stated.

The person claiming to be with the IRS spoke with a foreign accent and instructed the man to not tell anyone what he was doing because of privacy laws, the report stated.

Following the caller’s directions, the village resident withdrew $1,500 from his bank, bought $1,500 in iTunes gift cards at a pharmacy and gave the caller the numbers from the back of the gift cards, police reported.

“Would the IRS ask you to buy iTunes gift cards?” Hoffman said.

The ruse didn’t stop there.

“When they’re reeling you in, they know they got you,” Hoffman said.

According to the report, the man later got a call that appeared to be from the Kane County Sheriff’s Office’s non-emergency number. The caller, who also spoke with a foreign accent, claimed he was from the sheriff’s office and told the man he needed to pay an additional $1,465 in iTunes gift cards to avoid going to jail, police reported.

The man reportedly returned to the pharmacy with his mother, who paid for the gift cards with her credit card.

Again, the man gave the caller the numbers from the back of the cards.

The man notified police after getting another call – also from the sheriff’s non-emergency number – from someone threatening arrest if he didn’t pay $3,900 for additional fines, according to the report.

Hoffman recommends people report the scams to police so law enforcement can alert the community.

Scams also may be reported at www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml. The website on Aug. 11 warned that the latest IRS impersonation scam includes iTunes gift cards.

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – A St. Charles resident suffered a minor injury Aug. 9 when he arrived home to find his house being burglarized, according to a St. Charles Police Department news release.

The release indicated the resident, who lives in the 700 block of Mosedale Street, returned home that afternoon and noticed that a parked, unoccupied green SUV was running in front of his house in a posted no-parking zone.

“As he pulled into his driveway and opened his overhead garage door, he saw someone run out the back of the house,” the release stated.

Thinking the unoccupied car belonged to the burglar, the resident went to it and was knocked over by the burglar, who fled west in the SUV, police reported.

The suspect was described in the release as a 5-foot-7 black man weighing about 175 pounds. He reportedly wore a baseball hat and dark sunglasses.

The resident was treated by the St. Charles Fire Department for a small cut to his elbow, the release stated.

Police responded to the scene at

1:22 p.m. and were working with the resident to determine what was stolen in the burglary, according to the Aug. 10 release.

According to the release, it appeared entry was made by removing a window well cover and breaking a window into the basement.

Nobody else was home during the break-in, police reported.

The release indicated investigators were working with other police departments to determine whether they have encountered similar burglaries.

In the release, police reminded residents to keep their doors and windows locked – even when gone for a short period of time – and to keep watch for suspicious people or vehicles in their neighborhood.

Deputy Police Chief Dave Kintz said it is common for people to believe that burglars sneak around under the cover of darkness, but that’s just not the case. People are generally home at night, he said, adding it is “very easy” for potential burglars to ring a doorbell or knock on the door to determine whether people are home during the day.

Those with information should call the St. Charles Police Department at 630-377-4435.

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – One St. Charles graduate is making waves as a crew member on one of the world’s most advanced ballistic missile submarines, according to a news release.

Chief Petty Officer Gino Rossi, a 1999 St. Charles High School graduate, is an electronics technician serving aboard the USS Henry M. Jackson, the release stated.

A Navy electronics technician is responsible for ensuring that all electrical equipment and power generators are working properly, the release stated.

“After 9/11, I felt it my duty and

obligation to serve my country, working every day to deter any further foreign aggression,” Rossi said in the release.

“That’s why I joined the Navy.”

Rossi indicated in the Gino Rossi release that he enjoys the mentoring that comes with his role because it helps shape the lives of junior sailors.

“My other favorite part of being an electronics technician is that I’m basically the Homer Simpson of the sub,” he stated in the release.

The release indicated that because of the demanding environment aboard submarines, personnel are accepted only after rigorous testing and observation. The technical training requires that each crew has to be able to operate, maintain and repair every system or piece of equipment on board, the release stated.

Rossi is part of the boat’s Gold crew, one of the two rotating crews, which allows the ship to be deployed on missions more often without taxing one crew too much, the release stated. It noted that a typical crew on the submarine has about 150 officers and enlisted sailors.

“I’ve really enjoyed the brotherhood while serving aboard this sub, more so than in any other role above ground,” Rossi said in the release.

According to the release, ballistic missile submarines are effective in operations because of their stealth and range.

The release stated that the ship measures 560 feet long, 42 feet wide and weighs more than 16,500 tons and that a nuclear-powered propulsion system helps push the ship through the water at more than 20 knots, which equates to more than 23 mph.

St. Charles works to slow traffic downtown KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – The city of St. Charles is making an effort to get motorists to drive the speed limit while traveling through downtown.

According to a news release issued Aug. 12, temporary radar speed display signs will be installed on Main Street and extra police patrols will be out to bring awareness of – and enforce – the posted 25 mph speed limit.

The police department recently

conducted a traffic study confirming that vehicles consistently exceed the speed limit between Fourth Street and Fourth Avenue, the release stated.

“We want to make sure whether you are walking or driving in downtown St. Charles, it’s a safe, comfortable experience,” Erik Mahan, commander of the St. Charles Police Department’s traffic division, stated in the release.

He noted that Main Street accommodates a lot of traffic, as it is a state highway that connects other state highways, namely routes 31 and 25.

The release indicated the 25 mph zone could be expanded to Seventh Street and Seventh Avenue to potentially calm traffic.

Mayor Ray Rogina supports such a measure, the release stated.

“It is my goal to work with staff to convince the Illinois Department of Transportation to expand the 25 mph speed limit zone,” Rogina said in the release. “I believe it would encourage foot traffic and be favorable to our downtown businesses.”

For information, call Mahan at 630377-4405.

Capt. Mark Schmall, commodore of Submarine Squadron 17, of Bangor, Wash., said in the release that he is proud to lead and serve alongside the submarine force.

“Our team is filled with dedicated, hardworking and highly qualified professionals who hold uncommon levels of responsibility and accountability in support of our nation’s strategic deterrence mission,” he said in the release.

“Their work ethic, commitment and enthusiasm are second to none!”

be done by Sikich, a human resources consulting agency. Five other firms bid for the consulting job.

The plan for the review will include looking at city data, analyzing employee turnover, interviews and reviewing comparable environments before findings are presented to the city.

“They do our audits, our strategic plan; now they want to do our compensation – it’s too much in my opinion,” 3rd Ward Alderman Todd Bancroft said of Sikich.

The proposal by Sikich was approved 9-2 in committee, with Bancroft and 5th Ward Alderman Maureen Lewis voting against it.

A unique team would be brought in that is separate from the team that works on the strategic plan and the audits, staff said.

City officials seek more info on car wash plan

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – City leaders have tapped the brakes on a proposal to build a car wash on St. Charles’ west side because they want more information about its economic impact as well as its effect on traffic.

Car Wash Development LLC seeks to put Wash-U – a 4,525-square-foot automatic car wash – in the vacant lot directly west of Buona Beef, 2425 W. Main St., St. Charles. The business also would provide 12 vacuum stations.

To do so, it needs special-use approval from the St. Charles City Council because the site currently has approval for a restaurant with a drive-thru, Planning Division Manager Russell

Colby told the Planning and Development Committee on Aug. 8.

“We would love to be in St. Charles,” said Steve Timmer, one of the people involved in the venture. “Hopefully that’s a possibility.”

Aldermen, as well as representatives from the nearby Standard Wash, expressed traffic concerns, including possible backups on Main Street, and questioned whether the area needs another car wash.

“We have enough car washes out there,” 3rd Ward Alderman Bill Turner said.

Similar feedback arose during the previous week’s Plan Commission meeting, which resulted in a favorable recommendation.

Wash-U likely would experience

about 12 peak days a year, and it would be able to get vehicles through the line quickly, Timmer said, comparing its efficiency to a Portillo’s drive-thru.

Timmer also said Wash-U isn’t seeking to compete with the car washes that provide detailing services.

“We’re solely in the express business,” he said. “If you want detailing done, we are not that person.”

Tim Hague of St. Charles Main Street Partners, which developed the Buona Beef property, said a car wash would enhance sales at the restaurant.

“We’re excited about the use,” he said at the Plan Commission meeting.

The Planning and Development Committee unanimously tabled the item so economic and traffic studies could be completed.

Electric aggregation customers to benefit from rate drop KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com About 12,000 households and small businesses in unincorporated Kane County will benefit from a decrease in their electric rate this month under the county’s electric aggregation program, according to a news release Aug. 4.

In 2015, Kane County government officials signed a two-year contract with Dynegy Energy Services LLC for a fixed electric rate of 6.533 cents per kilowatt-hour for the first 12 months, which would decrease to a rate of 6.065 cents per kilowatt-hour for the second 12 months of the agreement, the release stated.

Now that the program is entering its second year, the release stated, the rate

Know more Visit www.dynegyenergyservices. com/community/kane-county.php for information about the aggregation program. will drop to 6.065, which is lower than ComEd’s current rate. According to the release, the ComEd price is 6.19 cents per kilowatt-hour for June through September 2016, followed by an increase to 6.308 cents per kilowatt-hour for October through May 2017.

The ComEd price includes a base electric rate and a transmission service charge – 1.262 cents per kilowatt-hour for June 2016 through May 2017, the re-

lease stated, adding that Kane County electric aggregation customers do not pay a separate transmission service charge.

Ken Anderson, director of the Kane County Division of Environmental and Water Resources, said electric aggregation program enrollment has been up about 80 percent during its first year.

“As of May 2016, this translated to a collective savings of over $65,000 for unincorporated Kane County residents and small businesses because the county secured a lower electric rate through its aggregation program.”

Those who opted out of the aggregation program for its first year are able to join for the second year. Call Dynegy Energy Services at 866-694-1262 to enroll.

There will be a raffle for an Apple iPad, Bose music system, Trek bike, large-screen TV, “Star Wars” sets and an American Girl doll at the event, the release said.

Sandy Gould said her son was a “huge ‘Star Wars’ fan,” and there will be costumed Star Wars characters at the event. Members of the 501st Legion Midwest Garrison and the Rebel Legion will be on hand to pose for photos and join the fun, the release said.

Dr. Rob Baiocchi of Ohio State Medical Center will be present to speak on progress he and his staff have made with donations from Jason’s Hogfan Parties, the release said.

Tickets are $25 presale, $30 at the door, $10 for children ages 7 to 17, and children younger than 7 are free.

PICTURING

... with the St. Charles History Museum In the immediate years following the Civil War, business and industry boomed in St. Charles. There were great economic and social developments, as both large and small businesses flourished.

Perhaps the most significant addition to the growing economy was the development of the railroad. In 1871, the Chicago and Northwestern Co. was connected to St. Charles from Geneva. This project cost $45,000 and was put into effect by Gen. John Farnsworth and O.M. Butler.

Later, in 1886, the Chicago Great Western Railroad added a line into St. Charles.

During the late part of the 19th century, St. Charles saw great changes. The town grew significantly, not just in population but in business as well. Before the Civil War, St. Charles was a smaller, rural-like town.

However, with the addition of the railroad and other new businesses, the town began to change in many ways. Some of these businesses included the National Milk and Sugar Co., which began in 1889, and was

located on the east side of the Fox River.

Other businesses that opened during this period were the St. Charles Condensing Co., Crown Electric Manufacturing Co., the Cable Piano Co., Heinz Cut Glass,

the Moline Malleable Iron Co., the St. Charles Mills, Anderson’s Dairy, Gartner Bakery and more. Because of all of these developments, St. Charles grew into a large and industrialized city.

I had the chance to visit the newly remodeled Anderson Animal Shelter in honor of its 50th anniversary. The shelter has adopted out tens of thousands of animals in those 50 years.

Always the dog lover, I never found it fair to have a dog because I was always gone for about 12 hours a day between work, the gym and my former hourslong commute.

So I used to get my “dog fix” by walking dogs at my local shelter while living in McHenry County. It fed my soul and always made my day better.

If there was a new litter of puppies, some of the volunteers and I would just sit on the floor as they climbed us and licked our faces.

One thing I didn’t expect to encounter at Anderson were some pet parakeets and other little critters, including gerbils, available for adoption.

Every pet deserves a loving home.

Really?

Did you know that of cancers affecting both men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer? But this is one cancer you can prevent. Get screened!

Screening tests help find polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.

So, if you’re 50 or older, do everything you can to prevent colorectal cancer. Screening really does save lives!

Dead wrong about roadkill

OPINIONS | Photo provided

This turkey vulture is unconcerned about the identity of the roadkill it’s found. For naturalists, however, an inaccurate ID brings far-reaching consequences.

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto face, my brain went right to the only mammal I thought it could be: Taxidea taxus, the American badger.

If we were to assign point values to local roadkill, badgers would rate at least a 9. While their numbers seem to have increased over the past decade or so (we even have a roadkill badger in our freezer at Hickory Knolls) they’re still not as common as squirrels and raccoons.

So you can just imagine the thrill I felt, bittersweet as it was, when I saw that badger on the east shoulder of Route 47 in Hampshire. Normally I would have stopped to take a picture, but as I was running late to a program at Pingree Grove Forest Preserve, I figured I’d wait till afterward to grab a pic – and maybe the whole carcass.

(Note: Even when dead, all native wildlife belongs to the state of Illinois. If you want to start collecting roadkill, you’ll first of all need a good reason and then second a permit from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.)

The program was on pollinators, about as far a topic from badgers as can be, but that didn’t stop me from announcing – to the ENTIRE GROUP – that a badger had been hit along 47.

And no, I didn’t stop there. I went on for several minutes about badgers’ roles in local ecosystems. Badger this, badger that ... I’d probably still be standing there babbling about badgers if my friend and colleague, Valerie Blaine, hadn’t steered the discussion back to beetles, butterflies and bees.

Still, I was buzzed about what I’d seen, and vowed to return to the roadside after the pollinator program concluded.

As luck would have it, Valerie appreciates roadkill, too. And so do Lee and Corey, two program participants who were gung-ho about fetching the badger. So, afterward, the four of us made a beeline back down 47 to get a look at my exciting discovery.

As we passed Plank Road in the southbound lane, I took my foot off the gas. The last thing I wanted to do was pass up the badger and have to make a U-turn. I told Lee to keep his eyes peeled as we coasted along, peering at the east-side shoulder in between vehicles zipping along in the northbound lane.

It wasn’t long before we spotted the grizzled lump, a haze of flies buzzing above its distended form. But this time, coming from the opposite direction, I saw something I hadn’t noticed before: a ringed tail. The “badger” I’d spotted was a raccoon – one of our area’s most common roadkill species.

In an instant, my life as a natu-

ralist flashed before my eyes. Montana glaciers and Smokey Mountain waterfalls, Arizona deserts and Maine coastlines. Torrey pines, Pinus torreya. California condors, Gymnogyps californianus. So many great nature experiences gone in an instant, replaced with the haunting image of one Procyon lotor.

Valerie, Corey, Lee and I pulled into a nearby parking lot to confer, briefly, on what we’d seen. Their comments, which I’m sure they self-edited before speaking, were said through suppressed smiles. “Not a badger,” said one. “’Coon,” said another. “Maybe someone replaced the badger with a raccoon,” Lee said, with just a wee hint of a smirk.

We turned our vehicles around and headed out onto the highway, passing the “badger” one last time as we drove back north to Pingree Grove.

The white facial stripe I was sure I’d spotted earlier was nowhere to be seen. As we drove past, the ringed tail flapped in the breeze, a final salute to a monumental fail.

Next week: All is not lost, after all!

A few weeks ago I came as close as I’ve ever come to getting my Naturalist Card revoked.

Right there on Route 47, a little south of Plank Road, with the sun high in the sky and a hint of a breeze in the air, I had to admit to the biggest gaffe I’ve ever made as a nature professional. It didn’t involve birds or bees, snakes, spiders or any of the other usual objects nature nerds encounter.

It was, however, a matter of life or death. Namely death, actually.

I misidentified a roadkill.

I suppose I need to back up a little bit and explain how, to road-borne naturalists, bloated remains are more than just decomposing heaps of ick. And fuzzy pancakes near center lines aren’t just greasy spots of fur or feathers. Nosirree. Roadkill serves as an important indicator of what species are present in an area, what their relative abundance might be and how their seasonal activities can influence their chances of survival, or demise.

Soft brown lumps near wet areas in spring? They let us know that muskrats are breeding. Last year’s offspring, which have enjoyed the protection of living under mom and dad’s roof, need to hit the road, so to speak, to make room for this year’s young. Inexperienced and nearsighted to boot, many don’t survive their first trip across pavement.

Gray-brown and reddish-orange feathers in summer? They indicate more breeding. Robins, in their haste to provide food for their broods, at times miscalculate the speed they need to fly from one side of the street to the other.

Gray or orangish-brown lumps in fall? That means squirrels are more focused on gathering food for winter than on looking both ways before crossing a street. As scatter-hoarders, squirrels don’t stockpile food in one location. They put a little bit here and a little bit there – a great strategy for avoiding total loss should one site get raided or otherwise become unavailable. But scatter-hoarding involves a lot of scurrying, often across streets and sometimes with dire consequences.

Turtles on the move in spring, hormone-addled deer in fall, skunks scavenging on garbage night ... the list of correlations between behaviors and consequences goes on and on.

Over the years I’ve become a bit of a roadkill connoisseur – not in a culinary sense, mind you, but more along the lines of being able to recognize decaying lumps at 35, 45, even 55 miles per hour. So when that fateful day on Route 47, I saw a sizable gray-brown lump, with a white stripe down the

Colonial Cafe introduces newly redesigned store on east side of St. Charles SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese In order to continue satisfying regular customers and to attract new ones, a restaurant must change with the times. Colonial Cafe opened their first family restaurant on the east side of St. Charles in 1959, and has just completed eye-catching renovations that add new appeal for their guests.

According to Kate Obernesser, Colonial’s Creative Culinary Director, many guests now eat with their eyes in addition to their palate. “We’re providing a comfortable, visually enhanced new environment to go along with our elevated taste profiles, “ said Clinton Anderson, Colonial Cafe President.

New decor elements resemble a rustic vintage farmhouse, with wood siding, warm glowing fireplaces, rough and tumble river rock room dividers, and dark, unobtrusive carpeting. The remarkable interior wood siding, created by Colonial’s contractor Nathan Jeppesen, replicates a Japanese shou-sugiban wood preserving treatment on cypress wood by charring and cooling it rapidly to obtain the desired

color and render it flame retardant.

New in town?

We’d like to help YOU open doors to the highest quality businesses, services and health care specialists in the Fox Valley. Our special gifts can help you get acqainted!

After entering through barn doors, guests are greeted by elegant new lighting, with a bronzed open metal frame around deeper shaped drum shades.

The dimensional ceiling tiles are light in color to complement the room.

Everything is FREE-

A dedicated Colonial museum display dates from founder Simon Anderson’s milk route in 1901, when Colonial’s phone number was just two digits, 8-8. A signboard shows Anderson’s instructions for his route drivers, who made deliveries with horsedrawn carriages. Milkshake blenders, milk bottles, and similar memorabilia are also on display.

Call us today!

Colonial’s formal ribbon-cutting is September 8, but guests may visit now to see the new design and taste the summer menu. The Octoberfest fall menu begins in mid-September, and will feature Beer Bratwurst, a Bavarian Sausage Platter, and an Octoberfest Breakfast, along with German Potato Salad, Red Cabbage, and Sauerkraut sides.

The east side Cafe is also excited to offer new craft beers and elevated wine selections, by the glass or bottle, including the very popular Butter Chardonnay.

Tasteful new shop branches out in Batavia Tea Tree features loose-leaf tea, gourmet oil and spices

By MARK FOSTER editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – A new business is spicing up Batavia’s bustling North River Street commercial district. The Tea Tree is a retail shop specializing in loose-leaf tea, gourmet oil, vinegar and spices, and a variety of accessories.

Sugar Grove Verizon Wireless celebrates opening

By NATALIE JUNS editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – The Sugar Grove Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting Aug. 10 for the new Verizon Wireless store in Sugar Grove.

Located off Route 47, next to Jimmy John’s, the store is owned by Batavia residents Dan and Eva Greenslade. They own six Verizon Wireless stores in Kane and DuPage counties and have been in the cellphone industry for 15 years.

The Greenslades said they have received a warm welcome from the Sugar Grove community since opening their store April 15.

“We are really looking forward to building relationships in Sugar Grove,”

Eva Greenslade said. “We’ve had people stop in to say ‘hi’ and tell us, ‘We’re glad you’re here.’ We are just as excited as everyone else.”

Dan Greenslade added that, as owners, they both enjoy the new atmosphere and community they are experiencing in Sugar Grove. The Greenslades said they decided to open the new location after noticing a need.

“One of the biggest differences between this location and our other locations is the population,” Greenslade said. “We are really enjoying the small town and how nice everyone is here. ...

We’ve had customers for a long time, and we’ve been able to watch customers’ kids grow up. People would drive a long distance just to go to our locations.

We hope to build a lot of relationships here.”

Bill Whitmer, village economic development coordinator, noted several advantages to opening a store in a smaller community, such as knowing exactly what the community is thinking.

“In a small town you know what the residents are thinking,” Whitmer said.

“I think residents will enjoy being able to drive around the corner to get to Verizon. I don’t like going online for everything, so I think it is nice [that] residents have the opportunity to quickly visit the store and become familiar with new opportunities.”

The new Sugar Grove Verizon Wireless store had a booth at the Sugar Grove Corn Boil this year, according to sales

associate Sam Hufnagle.

“I used to work at Best Buy, and I was their Verizon Wireless specialist,” Hufnagle said. “I wanted to see the Verizon side of things. Dan and Eva are really flexible. They make things [work] for their customers. If a customer wants a phone we don’t have, I can call them, and I can usually get the phone the next day.”

Sugar Grove Village President Sean Michels said Verizon Wireless adds to Sugar Grove’s growing business community.

“This will be great for the community to have,” Michels said. “It’s a great location with Dunkin’ Donuts coming at the end of the year and Jimmy John’s next to it.”

WAUBONSEE VOICES Dani DuCharme roads in the suburbs, and from urban development. This is a unique body of water, and a unique set of organisms that inhabit it. And we probably take it for granted.

If you live north of the college, you cross Blackberry Creek on Route 47 every day on your commute. It snakes through the communities of Elburn, Kaneville, Sugar Grove, Aurora, Montgomery and Yorkville. It dictates our watershed – the entire region draining into this body of water. It is an amazing ecosystem.

So what lies just underneath the surface. What story do they tell? Dip in an aquatic net, and you will find what look like tiny shrimp scuttling around. They are a tiny crustacean that flourish in water with few fish predators.

They can withstand some

of the most polluted water conditions. You might also see a tiny, red worm. This is called a bloodworm, and is a larva of a fly called a midge, which you probably walk through clouds of on a walk at dusk by your local retention pond. Lots of bloodworms – and little else – is also a sign of polluted water.

You have a good chance of also coming across two jewels – a water scorpion and a dragonfly larva. A water scorpion looks like a 3-inch stick insect that has lost its way. What you will also notice is its long front arms, which are perfect for a water predator. As for the dragonfly – did you know that their offspring live in the water? This is a brilliant evolutionary strategy, keeping parents and offspring from competing for precious resources. Like the adult, these babies are agile hunters, trapping prey in their scoop-like mandibles.

What story does this net full of living things from your backyard creek tell?

Well, more predators means a healthy aquatic ecosystem, because if the ecosystem can support a predator, it is healthy enough to provide for the prey items it feeds on. But an abundance of organisms that thrive in stagnant water, feeding on decaying plant matter isn’t a good sign. In Blackberry Creek, we have a mixture of both, with water quality somewhere between pristine and not.

So next time you are walking near Blackberry Creek, think about what lies under the surface, and how they can dictate whether you should take a sip, or pass.

Dani DuCharme is an associate professor of biology at Waubonsee Community College and was named this year’s Outstanding Faculty Member.

Route 38 roadwork continues through the fall

Daily intermittent lane closures have been taking place on Route 38 between Peck Road and County Line Road, and Route 64 between Anderson Road and County Line Road since Aug. 15, according to a Illinois Department of Transportation news release.

The closures are necessary for a project to widen shoulders and add rumble strips to enhance safety on sections of Routes 38 and 64, the release said, noting that the project is expected to be finished in the fall.

Motorists should expect delays and allow extra time for trips through Elburn, St. Charles, Virgil, Maple Park and Lily Lake.

Drivers are urged to pay close attention to flaggers and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits and be on alert for workers and equipment, the release stated.

Take a little trip back in time with me, please: It’s mid-February. The temperature has been below freezing for weeks, and snow covers the landscape. I take my Biology 122 students at Waubonsee Community College out to collect samples from Blackberry Creek. Amid the grumbling about the cold, students wonder at how anything could still be alive in these conditions.

But we are looking at this from a human perspective.

We traipse out to the far north edge of the Sugar Grove Campus, crack through the ice in Blackberry Creek, and an insulated, living world is seen beneath the surface. Just because we need parkas, hats and gloves, doesn’t mean invertebrates do. They can survive out here year-round.

It’s not just their survival in extreme temperatures that is remarkable, but their ability to survive the pollutants that wash in from agricultural fields, from salt-covered winter

Ex-career center instructor gets prison sentence KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – A former instructor with the Fox Valley Career Center is going to prison for having a sexual relationship with a minor, according to a news release from the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Glen C. Baum, 44, of Oswego, pleaded guilty Aug. 11 to felony criminal sexual assault

and agreed to a seven-year sentence in the Illinois Department of Corrections, the release stated.

Circuit Judge Glen C. Baum James C. Hallock accepted the plea.

Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon noted in the release that Baum – who instructed high school students

in fire science – was, by law, a mandated reporter of child sexual abuse.

“Mr. Baum’s actions undercut the faith and trust our community must have in those who teach our children and who are required to protect them,” McMahon said in the release.

“Thankfully, the vast majority of those who work with children are worthy of our trust.”

According to the release, Baum was contracted by and

taught at Kaneland School District 302 schools and maintained a sexual relationship with one of his students between May 2014 and January 2015.

A news release issued at the time of his arrest indicated the student was 17.

Authorities learned of the relationship when the teen’s mother saw messages from Baum on the teen’s cellphone and notified police, the release stated.

The release indicated the

charge against him reflected his position of trust, authority and supervision over the teen.

Under state law, Baum must serve at least 85 percent of his sentence, the release stated, adding he received credit for 52 days served in the Kane County Jail.

He also must register as a sex offender, the release stated. Kane County Assistant State’s Attorney Christine Bayer prosecuted the case.

Ex-cop pleads guilty to child sexual assault

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – Former Elburn police officer David Wright, in the second day of his jury trial on 33 counts of sexual assault and abuse of a child, changed his plea to guilty.

Kane County Judge D.J. Tegeler accepted the negotiated plea Aug. 16, where Wright, 54, will serve 23 years David Wright on two counts of felony sexual assault of a child he knew.

The abuse occurred over 10

years, from the time the victim was 7 until she turned 17, prosecutors said. Wright was charged April 24, 2015, records show.

Also under the terms of the agreement, Wright waived all his rights to appeal, is not to have contact with the victim for 28 years and will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, Tegeler said.

As part of the agreement, the remaining 31 charges were dismissed, according to the agreement.

Wright sought the negotiated plea after nearly 20 minutes of emotional testimony from the victim, now 18, who de-

Waubonsee marks 50 years as school KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – Waubonsee Community College is kicking off its 50th anniversary celebrations this month.

The college’s focus will be honoring those who have helped shape its “proud past, bold future,” according to a news release.

The college was established in August 1966, when the electorate of 12 school districts in most of Kane County, and portions of Kendall, DeKalb, LaSalle and Will counties, voted to establish Community College District 516, the release stated.

Five years later, the college serves more than 290,000 students and has grown to include four campuses, as well as online courses. New students will be welcomed during the college’s first new student convocation Aug. 25.

That event will be followed by a campuswide celebration, the release stated.

About the college Waubonsee Community College was established in August 1966, when voters in 12 school districts encompassing most of Kane County, and portions of Kendall, DeKalb, LaSalle and Will counties, voted to establish Community College District 516.

Alumni and friends of the college are welcome to attend a reunion in March to reconnect and celebrate the achievements of many and to share stories of college and community leaders who have contributed to that success, the release stated. In addition, the college’s community partners, faculty, staff and students are being challenged to complete 50 hours of volunteer work this year for the college’s 50 Hours of Caring Initiative.

scribed being raped by Wright in the master bathroom of his house when she was 7 years old.

“He put me on the counter and told me it would hurt,” the teen testified.

“How did it feel?” Assistant State’s Attorney Deb Bree asked.

“It hurt,” she said. “I screamed.”

Through tears, the victim continued to testify, describing subsequent incidents of rape that occurred once or twice a week in the bedroom of Wright’s house while his wife was at work and the victim was in second grade.

Tegeler called for a break

after Wright sent a note to his attorneys stating he wanted to change his plea.

Tegeler said the maximum prison time Wright faced was 638 years; the minimum was 143 years. Wright will get credit for 478 days in the Kane County jail.

The judge said he wanted Wright to waive all his constitutional rights to file an appeal or any other court actions before he would agree to the negotiated plea.

Tegeler said he did not want the victim to have to come back to court and relive what was done to her – before him or any other judge.

Focusing on the victim’s

testimony that Wright had told the girl it “would hurt,” Tegeler spoke sternly to Wright, saying that the only time an adult should say such a thing to a child should be when comforting the child for removing a bandage.

“Normal [people] don’t rape [a] child,” Tegeler said.

Wright, who will turn 55 on Aug. 19, was allowed to wear street clothes for the jury trial, though he was being held in the Kane County jail on $500,000 bond.

Wright was fired from the Elburn Police Department last year, following the investigation into the sex abuse charges.

A visual ride on the Fox River Trail Photos & story by KAITLYN VETO kveto@shawmedia.com As some of you may (or may not) have noticed, my byline has frequented the paper throughout the summer.

As break comes to a close and I prepare to leave for school, I’ve prepared a final project for everyone to enjoy.

I know I’m not the only one watching the Olympics, so as I thought of ideas for this project, I was feeling extra inspired to be active. So naturally, I pulled a bike out of my garage and set out on the Fox River Trail to see what other people in our community might be up to on a humid summer evening.

I may be a little sore as I’m sitting at my desk writing this (hey, I never said I was an Olympic-level cyclist), but here’s a visual documentation of the people and things I saw that make Kane County unique.

I began this mini, not-quite-Olympic-caliber journey overlooking the Fox River in St. Charles. I grew up in St. Charles, so that felt like the natural starting point for some exploration. My first observation: People like to fish. You’ll see this trend again and again.

ABOVE: See, I told you people like to fish. At my second location, just down the path from where I started, I asked 7-year-old Ben Guszkiewicz and his dad, Joe (not pictured), why they were out here. I got a simple answer: “Nature, fishing and [The] Jalapeno Grill.” Sounds good enough to me.

RIGHT: A little bit farther along my path – or third location – I found this guy.

Not wanting to interrupt his rhythm, I snuck a picture as he glided past. I’d like to believe that he also was inspired by the Olympics that night.

I’m nearing a new town: Geneva, at my fourth location. While paddleboarding isn’t an Olympic sport, it certainly could be. These folks casually glided, testing their balance and poise on the Fox.

I couldn’t help but include my fifth location – the dam before Geneva’s first bridge – just because I like it a lot.

NEWS | ABOVE RIGHT: I think I need to try fishing. Right off the path at Island Park in Geneva, these men were wading knee-deep to catch some fish at my seventh location.

LEFT: I was terrified to take this picture because at that second, a train was roaring by above me, and I couldn’t help but think of every worst-case scenario that absolutely would never happen. Nevertheless, I took a photo of this eighth location and hurried along for an irrational fear of falling trains.

LEFT: Nearing the end of my trip, location No. 9, I was lucky enough to run into this fun gathering at the Fabyan Windmill near Batavia. The Accelerators Running Club, which spans most of Kane County, had gathered here to do some running exercises, ending with a friendly game of kickball.

ABOVE: They should probably give out frozen pops at the Olympics.

Medals are nice, but I swear these kids ran as fast as Usain Bolt for these sweet treats. While I was (somehow) able to refrain from asking Coach Scott Kurth for one, I snapped a couple photos while both their and my adventure ended for the day.

ABOVE LEFT: If you’ve never been to Island Park in Geneva – my sixth location, you’re missing out. Whether you’re admiring the flowers, walking along the river or taking a rest from a run like David Schuman (above), it is most definitely a beautiful stopping point on the Fox River.

KOVELS: ANTIQUES AND joined the business they began making “antique-style” silver copied from COLLECTING

BY TERRY AND KIM KOVEL older pieces and with marks similar to Some of the most popular clocks made after 1944 in the mid-century modern style were designed by an architect and journalist. George Nelson (1908-1986) graduated with a degree in architecture in 1931. He went Europe and wrote magazine articles praising the famous designers and introducing their ideas and his to the U.S. He suggested the open-plan house, storage walls, and family rooms, which all are popular today. Herman Miller, the furniture maker, asked him to become the design director of his company. And that was the beginning of his many still-collected designs, like the “Marshmallow” sofa, “Coconut” chair and the “Ball” clock. Howard Miller Clock Co. produced over 30 different wall clocks based on his idea of an almostround face with geometric additions or subtractions and simple hands. Some were just a group of sticks with colored balls at the end that radiated from the center to form a circle. There was no frame, no glass and no numbers. Each design for a clock was made in many different colors. The “Fan” clock was designed in about 1954. It looks like a folded star-shaped cutout. A yellow Fan clock sold for $3,625 at the Los Angeles Modern auction in Van Nuys, Calif., in May 2016. A black version sold at the same auction brought only $2,250. The original clocks ran on electricity, but you can substitute a battery so no cord will show. Save and replace the old parts before you sell the clock or the value will be less. *** Q: I have an ornate silver and glass pitcher with a silver lid attached by a chain. The glass is engraved with a boat leaving one country and arriving in another to a church or building. It spins in the silver base so you can read it. The silver is marked “800” and the marks seem to indicate it was made by Schleissner & Sohne Hanau. Can you tell me something about the maker and give this a value?

A: Schleissner & Son made silver in Hanau, Germany, in the late 1800s.

Johann Daniel Christian Schleissner started in business about 1817. After his son, Daniel Philipp August Schleissner,

antique marks. Most pieces were made for export to the U.S. and England. The company is still in business, now as W.K. Schleissner Silver with headquarters in Grundau, Germany. The number “800” is the standard for silver in Germany. The value of your pitcher is about $800.

***

*** Q: My 1928 etching is by Louis Icart, and it’s titled “Salome.” I need to know how much it’s worth so I can sell it.

A: Louis Icart (1880-1950) was a French printmaker, painter and illustrator known for his etchings of fashionably dressed women. The etchings were made on copper plates and reproduced in limited editions. Icart signed the prints in pencil. Beginning in 1926, prints also had a “blind stamp” made by raised seal.

Photographic copies have been made of Icart’s work. Original etchings are much more expensive than the later photographic copies. You need to have an expert look at it to determine its value. *** Q: My grandfather kept wooden matches in a strange vase near his pipe. One side of the colorful vase was a molded version of the mask for Comedy, the other side was the Tragedy mask. It is marked “Wedgwood,” but it doesn’t look like the blue and white pieces with the raised designs I usually see. It has ridges on the bottom. What can you tell me about it?

A: Your grandfather had a Wedgwood majolica match holder, also called a match striker. The ridges were used to strike and light the match. Today’s wooden kitchen matches probably would not light on this striker because they are safety matches, made to be less likely to light from accidental friction. Collectors sometimes confuse match holders with match safes. That name is for a small closed container, usually metal, that held the matches in a pocket or purse. Your majolica match holder was made in the 19th century of majolica. It could sell for $150. ***

This yellow “Fan” clock designed by George Nelson for the Howard Miller Clock Co. brought $3,625 at auction.

It originally was made to run on electricity, so now each year the time has to be reset for Daylight Savings time.

Q: Are cereal boxes still a popular collectible? I remember reading about them in the 1960s and seeing a display of flattened boxes for sale at an antiques show.

A: Advertising collectors have been buying round oatmeal boxes since the 1940s. About 1910 to 1930, Kellogg put games and stories to be cut out on the back of boxes. But the rectangular boxes did not attract much attention until Wheaties began picturing athletes on boxes in 1935. It was the “Breakfast of Champions,” and there was a premium that could be cut from the box. By the 1940s, small pin-back buttons picturing comic characters were included with the cereal. Soon, other toys were included and were pictured and mentioned on the box. But it was the 1960s that pushed cereal-box collecting, and soon there were books about it and boxes were sold at most antiques flea markets. Many were destroyed when the Mickey Mouse mask or other toy was cut out. The most expensive today are the full flattened boxes of the 1950s and 1960s. Some sell for over $100. *** Tip: “Liquid silver” jewelry can be cleaned with a soft cotton cloth or rubbed with dry baking powder. Do not use dips. ***

OUR VIEW

Summer’s end leads to prep football season The days are starting to get (slightly) shorter; the nights are (barely) getting cooler; and the first day of school is just around the corner. That means high school football is about to kick off.

Friday nights will soon be a busy time for high school football players, fans, coaches, band members, cheerleaders and concession stand workers.

The ultimate goal for any team is to reach the state championship game and win a state title, but there is much more to the football season than wins and losses. Under the guise of football, communities come together for the greater good.

At Batavia, the 2016 football season will be an especially exciting one as Bulldog Stadium will have a new look with a synthetic turf field. Beneficial for the football program and a boon for the community, the field is a physical display of what can be achieved with teamwork.

Initially seen as a contentious proposition by some, the money to pay for the field is largely being gathered through fundraising by the Batavia Bulldog Boosters.

Geneva added synthetic turf to its Burgess Field years ago, the first Tri-Cities team to do so, and it won’t have to wait long to play on the newest turf field. The Vikings travel to Batavia on Sept. 23 for the next showdown in the long-running rivalry. As usual, fans should expect a well-played game and an electric atmosphere.

This football season will see another chapter in the Kick-A-Thon fundraiser when St. Charles East crosses the river to play St. Charles North on Sept. 16. Started in 1994 as a fundraiser for the St. Charles High School drill team, the Kick-A-Thon has since raised nearly $900,000 for the American Cancer Society, LivingWell Cancer Resource Center and Fox Valley Food For Health. A solid fundraising campaign this year could send the Kick-A-Thon over $1 million in donations.

Kaneland will host its Knights Under the Lights event Aug. 22 at Peterson Field. Fall, winter and spring athletes from the high school and middle school will have a chance to mingle, meet coaches and be part of an athlete parade led by the KHS marching band.

As athletes are learning the plays, cheerleaders are perfecting their routines and marching bands are putting the finishing touches on their halftime shows, fans can get the info on their favorite teams with the Kane County Chronicle’s football preview section Aug. 25.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

St. Louis: Gateway to the West Last week, my family and I embarked on a three-day trip to St. Louis, Mo. We wanted to do some final summer activities together before all the hustle and bustle of the school year started up. After piling ourselves and our luggage into the minivan, we departed for our destination.

Our first stop was Bishop Hill, Ill., a small Swedish settlement that my parents had visited years ago. The tiny town looked like something out of an old-fashioned movie, with quaint buildings, gravel roads and a general store.

We stopped at a restaurant called P.L. Johnson’s for lunch, then bought delicious cookies from a local bakery and looked at the various wares in the general store.

With our stomachs full and bodies refreshed, we got back in the car and continued our journey.

Our hotel for the first night was in St. Charles, Mo., on the outskirts of St. Louis. Although this town is in the Midwest, it looks like it could be on the East Coast, from its cobblestone streets to colonial storefronts.

We ate dinner at a restaurant downtown and enjoyed some ice cream before settling in for the

Improvements and work ahead

To the Editor: In the “Sound Off” column dated July 14, 2016, a comment was made regarding the improved landscaping done at The Oaks of St. Charles. We greatly appreciate the kind words and thank you for noticing. We would like to expand on other projects that have been accomplished in our own town home community.

Beginning in 2014, we installed an underground storm sewer system.

Because of the extensive construction that would occur, we chose to enhance our grounds. We have replaced sidewalks, street lighting, driveways, fencing, street and landscaping throughout. This was a $2 million project.

Because of the improvements to our community, real estate values have improved. We take great pride in what we have accomplished. We still have work ahead with continuing landscaping and other ongoing projects, including painting.

Come take a look for yourselves and see what a gem we have in St. Charles.

Our office hours are 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday and Friday.

If I were dying on the street, Mr. Trump would help. President Obama would have his nose in the air and not bother to look at me. As a matter of fact, he would step over me. His administration is destroying this once great nation. Why isn’t President Obama embarrassed? Because his nose is in the air. He cares more about his birthday party than answering questions in a press conference. Why does anyone like him? Hillary Clinton wants to continue President Obama’s policies. Is she crazy? Her supporters are not informed.

If they want to read the real news, check websites like the Drudge Report, Michael Savage, Walsh Freedom, etc.

You will be shocked to read things that you do not see on the evening news.

To the Editor: “I ransack public libraries and find them full of sunk[en] treasure.”

Given the number of times I’ve come across literary chests of gold in the Geneva Public Library, I could have said that. British novelist Virginia Woolf, unfortunately, beat me to it.

I love browsing the “newly arrived” hardbacks and paperbacks, recorded books, music CDs and DVDs; the younger crowd goes for video games and treasures the kids flock to downstairs (where I used to go with my now-grown children). Our library is also the best place for past books, movies and music to revisit or meet the first time.

Given the mountain of new material created daily, however, Geneva’s library can no longer give its patrons what they deserve. Lacking space, essential works get jettisoned; imagine Noah’s dilemma if the ark sprang a leak and began sinking: Which species to jettison?

The question is, do we allow our library [to] do its thing the way it should be done in the new millennium?

Do we build a new library on the Sixth Street site the library board recently purchased, or let the present building suffer in its geriatric state?

Further costly renovations won’t work due to infrastructure issues. And, because [it is] landlocked; building out is not an option. Operational costs due to age and layout are astronomical; if human, the elevator, along with the heating and air-conditioning systems, would be on life support, pleading to have the plug pulled.

The new site could offer more parking, storage, technology and meeting rooms. We could enjoy drive-up dropoff, eating areas, teen spaces and much more.

You may object, thinking many books and reference materials can be accessed online. Oh, ye of little imagination! A library is more than a storage facility. Walk into a newly designed library like Elgin’s Gail Borden, and you’ll feel an exhilaration as palpable as the divine when entering Notre Dame.

In fact, Genevans go to their library in droves! Last year, 3,458 joined reading clubs; 24,000 participated in programs; computer logins topped 15,000; over 600,000 items were checked out; monthly visits averaged 22,000; and, of some 22,000 residents, nearly 17,000 own library cards.

Kiwanis Club helps local child with mobility issues KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE neighbors@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – The Aug. 2 meeting of the St. Charles Kiwanis Club was “unusual” for three reasons, according to a news release.

First, the meeting was held at Hickory Knolls Discovery Center in St. Charles at 5:30 p.m., instead of Baker Memorial United Methodist Church at noon.

Second, representatives from six other clubs were present.

Finally, the meeting was attended by one of the youngest participants in memory, stated the release.

Quinn Farren, a “bubbly” 3-yearold, was on hand – along with her parents, Cindy and Sam – to demonstrate her ability to navigate a specially designed toy car, the release stated.

The car was provided through the GoBabyGo program, whose goal is to assemble modified, battery-powered cars – with volunteer labor – to help children with disabilities become independently mobile, stated the release.

Quinn operates the car by pushing a button with her right knee, which is a therapeutic move for her, according to the release. She has spina bifida, a birth defect in which the spinal cord fails to develop properly. Symptoms of the condition can include leg weakness, scoliosis and hip dislocation. Advances in treatment over the past few decades have increased the survival rate from less than 10 percent to well more than 90 percent, stated the news release.

Three-year-old Quinn Farren, who has spina bifida, received a specially designed toy car Aug. 2. The St. Charles Kiwanis Club donated money for the assembly of the car, and club member Joe Cucci helped build the car in a team effort at Shriners Hospitals for Children – Chicago.

Linebacker/kicker: ‘There’s not much girlie talk anymore’ It still seems too hot and summery to talk about football. Yet, here it is.

I just had a chat with a friend of our granddaughter Mazy, another young lady named Katerina Koch, who is planning to play linebacker/kicker for John Wredling Middle School.

Right now Katerina is doing football camp, sharpening her many skills.

Soon they will “put on the pads” and get down to the business of the game.

“There’s not much girlie talk anymore,” Miss Koch reports. “Now that they have seen me play, all are very much supportive.” She gained much respect last year when – at 5-foot-8inch, 157 pounds – she went undefeated on the Wredling wrestling team.

I asked her how she learned the

JOAN KNOWS Joan Arteberry intricacies of football, especially defense. She said she taught herself, particularly watching games on TV. To show off my football brain, I asked her what number she would wear, suggesting old 51 from Dick Butkus’ days. Guess we’ll wait and see.

She says she prefers contact sports to the girlie alternatives. This year she has gained the reluctant consent of her parents to play football.

There’s a game on the first day of school, which is Aug. 24.

Couldn’t help thinking of our (Class of ’56) eighth-grade situation. Girls sports, even for talent such as the late Linda Bergsten, a basketball wiz, were nonexistent. The square block old red Haines didn’t even have a gym.

The high school coach, no Lombardi to be sure, didn’t seem to care whether the boys won or lost. The Wredling leader, coach McPeak, appears to have an open mind and open heart.

Speaking of Lombardi, you may know that my Badgers open against LSU in a game to be played at Lambeau Field in Green Bay – pretty much a home game. We have given up my season tickets, although there were excellent handicapped accommodations at Camp Randall. Will miss

the cheese curds, too.

Now there will be the search for the broadcast site, just as in the dial-around looking for the Cubbies.

Maybe I’ll make it to a Wredling game?

Haven’t heard back about any other family reunions.

Although one of Mister Z’s cousins called about some issues with bats. She reports that her dad, Chuck Thompson, will soon reach his 100-year milestone.

Happy birthday, uncle Chuckle!

RELEASE DATE: 8/14/2016

Alvin Toffler, a writer about modern technologies who died in June, said, “It is better to err on the side of daring than the side of caution.”

At the bridge table, that is usually right, but not always. Look at the auction in today’s deal. What would you have done differently? What is the par result, the contract that gives the best-possible score to each side?

The final contract of two notrump did not go well. After West unimaginatively led fourth-highest from his longest and strongest, South cashed out for down one, taking one spade, one diamond and five clubs.

North-South can make one notrump, and South can succeed in two clubs. (Two clubs by North fails after the spade-jack lead. East ruffs the third round of the suit with his club jack and shifts to the diamond queen.) But West can make two spades (with an overtrick if the defenders do not play trumps quickly enough to stop a club ruff in the East hand) for plus 110 (or 140). So the par contract is two no-trump doubled

by North-South or three clubs doubled by South, which would be minus 100.

South should respond one notrump. It is a slight underbid, but better than two clubs (or the weird two diamonds). Then, whatever West does, North passes. If you use twoover-one, South bids one no-trump, and, if West passes, North rebids two clubs (natural, or a three-card suit in a minimum balanced hand). After that, South can raise to three clubs to invite game. If West intervenes with two spades, which is highly likely, North passes, and South might well do likewise.

Teen ‘embodies total package’ as Jank Ambassador

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com

ST. CHARLES – St. Charles resident George Ressinger holds a title nobody else in the city has held.

The 17-year-old is the 2016 – and inaugural – St. Charles Jank ambassador. He was bestowed the Guitar of St. Charles Jank Award in a June ceremony at Lincoln Park.

The program was spearheaded by The Jank Guitar Store owner Scott Corbin, who wrote in an email that Ressinger was the most qualified nominee.

“While every nominee was incredible in many aspects on many levels, George embodies the total package,” Corbin wrote. “He represents heart, wisdom beyond his years and responsibility beyond his years all in one, which is extremely rare.”

SUGAR GROVE – The Sugar Grove Public Library has a new art space, Gallery 125, and organizers are looking for local artists to exhibit their work while bringing cultural enrichment to the community.

“We are excited to bring this new cultural event to the Sugar Grove community,” said Shannon Halikias, library director. “Artwork in a library not only enhances the look tremendously, but this gallery will help promote our local artists and bring the community together.”

Gallery 125 has been on the back of Halikias’ mind for a while. After some minor renovations, which included repainting a few walls and installing signage, it all came together rather quickly.

The gallery is located in the main lobby, at the front of the library. It includes two 18-foot walls (length-wise). Artists that are interested in submitting their 2-D, framed, ready-to-hang artwork must first complete a form at the library’s reference desk or online at www.sugargrove.lib.il.us. Artwork must be less than 15 pounds, and artists must be 18 years or older. Priority will be given to Sugar Grove and Kaneland-area resi-

“During this first exhibition, we will be serving Modest Coffee, wine and appetizers,” Halikias said. “We have also secured a local acoustic musician to play, and have paired the evening with the [Sugar Grove] Chamber of Commerce after-hours event.”

The library is excited to offer these exhibitions to give the community a chance to meet each of the artists and learn more about them and their artwork, Halikias said, adding that being part of the gallery is a “three to four month commitment” for each artist.

Depending on the popularity of submissions, the library hopes to have “10 to 15 pieces from one artist for several months,” Halikias said, noting that a few artists can be showcased at one time, depending on how many artists are interested.

“This is very unique for our community, and we are very excited to be able to give young artists this motivation to pursue their artistic talents and dreams through Gallery 125,” Halikias said.

“We encourage everyone who knows an artist to tell them about this wonderful opportunity so they can become more successful and the gallery can be successful.”

Call the library at 630-466-4686 for information.

‘Calendar Girls’ on tap at Geneva’s Playhouse 38 Public invited to open house at new theater

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – In its first adult performance at its new location, Playhouse 38 will present the British comedy “Calendar Girls” from Aug. 25 through 28.

The Geneva Park District moved its Playhouse 38 to 321 Stevens St. in Geneva, with a new, larger stage, more audience seating and parking.

“Calendar Girls” is based on the true story of 11 members of the Women’s Institute who posed nude for a calendar to raise money for the Leukemia Research Fund to honor the death of a husband from the blood cancer.

“It’s a large cast of women at varying ages – the youngest is 16,” director Lisa Pivarones said. “We have a total of 14 in the cast, four men and 10 women. It’s touching, fun and humorous.”

The story starts when Annie’s husband, John, dies of leukemia, and her best friend, Chris, resolves to raise money for a new settee in the local hospital waiting room.

The idea of having them pose nude for the calendar ends up raising more money for leukemia research and launched a movie by the same name – leading to a lot of media attention in their small village of Knapeley in the Yorkshire Dales, Pivarones said.

“They go through the changes of dealing with fame,” Pivarones said. “All the attention gets spotlighted on them, how they are growing through it. It’s a fun show.”

The nudity is implied, not actual, Pivarones said.

“That was the first question everyone had as they walked into the audition,” Pivarones said. “‘I’m a schoolteacher and I can’t be naked onstage.’ And I’m like, ‘No, I don’t want you to be naked onstage.’ … The women wear costumes that imply nudity without revealing, and without them actually being nude. It is for their comfort, as well as the audience. If you see nudity, that takes away from the comedy of it.”

As was done for the actual calendar and depicted in the movie, the women pose with strategically placed props to cover them, she said.

“It’s very vaudevillian, choreographed … to music and done very quickly,” Pivarones said.

Performances will be at 7 p.m. Aug. 25, 26 and 27 and also at 5 p.m. Aug. 28.

Tickets are $15 in advance at Sunset Community Center, 710 Western Ave., Geneva, or $20 at the door. For more information, call 630- 232-4542 or visit www.genevaparks.org.

Geneva resident Autumn Burns

plays Annie, one of the lead roles. A former Geneva School District 304 Board member, Burns is also sister-in-law to Mayor Kevin Burns.

“It’s a little nerve-wracking because it’s a conversational script,” Burns said.

“We are laughing so much in rehearsal.

Everyone is trying to mimic a British accent, and I slip in and out of my Southern accent – I’m from Arkansas.”

To help with the accent, Burns said she has been watching a lot of “Downton Abbey,” a popular British television drama.

Her own husband, John Burns, is in remission from cancer.

“He’s had five straight years of clean scans,” Autumn Burns said. “We’re very, very, very blessed and thankful … he is still with me.”

Karen Brhel plays Annie’s best friend, Chris.

“The part is very fun to do,” Brhel, of Bartlett, said. “She’s definitely the life of the party. She likes to keep everything alive and fun, I’d say. She certainly does not believe in the aging process. She’s always go-go-go-go.”

The opening night performance of Photo provided “Calendar Girls” follows a grand openKaren Brhel (from left), Leslie Klappauf, Jess Smith, Autumn Burns and Jami Johnson star ing celebration for the new Playhouse in Playhouse 38’s production of ‘Calendar Girls.’ The opening-night performance on Aug. 38 at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 25. Deane’s Market 25 coincides with an open house at the new theater, 321 S. Stevens St., Geneva. & Deli will provide light refreshments, while beer and wine will also be available for purchase.

Pivarones said the expanded space is wonderful.

“It’s so nice,” Pivarones said. “I just feel so spoiled right now because of the added space we have to work with.

It makes everyone breathe easier to have space to move around. I can have a scene in front of the closed curtain; I can change it up quite a bit more. And in this particular show, there are a lot of costume changes, and now we have space to do that back stage.”

Burns agreed, saying it is exciting to work in the new, expanded theater space.

“The space is wonderful,” Burns said. “It’s a bigger back stage, so we can change clothes between scenes. The Geneva Park District did a great job, so kudos to them for sure.”

Geneva Park District Executive Director Sheavoun Lambillotte wrote in an email that space for the audience has been expanded to accommodate 100 per performance and the base structure is Americans with Disabilities Act accessible.

“We now have the space to accommodate performance prep areas – green room – concession sales, and have improved sound and lighting,” Lambillotte’s email stated. “This new location allows us to meet the community’s needs and expand our cultural arts program offerings without our previous space SM-CL0358254 limitations.”

Don’t thank me, thank the ‘Old Neighborhood’ BACKSTAGE QUESTIONS WITH ...

Ron Onesti on WLS in 1963, always had at least one, if not more, “mop-top” tunes on his daily playlist. From Biondi’s onair into of the band’s first American hit, “Please, Please Me, to his live introduction of them and The Rolling Stones at California’s Hollywood Bowl, Biondi can be credited with truly fostering Paul, George, John and Ringo’s respective careers. He really caused Chicago to become one of The Beatle’s biggest markets, and why I have always been a Fab-Four fanatic.

So I wanted “Ringo bangs” when I went to the local barber. He had no idea what I meant, but he would cut my hair in that style anyway because of what we used to call a “soup bowl on your head-haircut.” My mom used to do that, too, but she would Scotch tape my hair straight across my forehead so her trims were straight.

It sounds weird, but that’s how it was done back then.

My dad’s barber was a little Italian

guy, who looked a lot like Mayberry’s Floyd the Barber, mainly because of the pencil-thin moustaches most barbers had at the time. He would always have Sinatra music on, he and my dad often breaking out into song during the rapid-fire snipping of his bright chrome scissors in my ears.

He would put this wooden plank with a cigar box taped to it across the arms of his barber chair as a booster seat for me. I was mesmerized by the red and white stripes revolving around the barber pole outside the window and could never understand why his long, black combs were kept in a jar of light green water. The worst part was that he was constantly yanking at my shoulder and telling me to, “Sit up straight!” Then, that blast of white powder on the back of my neck with his wood-handled brush would cause a cloud above my head and make me smell like my baby brother after a diaper changing. But between him and my dad, I was a budding Sinatra fan in training.

I had a bunch of crazy-fun aunts, too. They all got together on Sundays, making pots and pots of meatballs, neckbones, sausage and gravy.

IS YOUR CENTRAL VISION BLURRY OR CROOKED?

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

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

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

It is no secret that I am an Italian American, and a proud one at that. I was born on Taylor Street in Chicago’s “Little Italy.” Being a child of the early ‘60s, I was fortunate enough to have experienced much of the music from the ‘60s and ‘70s, now referred to as “heritage rock” and “classic rock.” But how I was really lucky was the fact that I had tons of cousins who absolutely loved music. They were all a few years older than me, so I was exposed to the popular music of the time the way a teenager would, even though I was only 10.

My dad had the tailor shop in the neighborhood. It was located on Western Avenue at Taylor Street, which was the center of our local world. He was so good natured and a truly fun guy. So everybody would hang in – and in front of – his shop. He loved to listen to Cubs games on his AM radio. He ALWAYS had his AM radio on, but when the ballgame wasn’t on, it was flipped from WLS to WCFL, from Larry Lujack to Dick Biondi.

Top 40 music was all over the place! It wasn’t as much Elvis as it was The Beatles. The “Wild I-Tralian” Dick Biondi, who by his own account broke The Beatles in the U.S.

BATAVIA – Thanks to a rained-out show in mid-June, summer’s outdoor concert season in Batavia will enjoy a lingering last hurrah with an appearance by the band Soda from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Aug. 24, preceded by a special event for Pokémon fans.

The Batavia Park District has corralled a Pokémon meet-up from 5 to 7 p.m.

“We think there are around 12 Pokémon Stops at the Riverwalk,” said Kari Felkamp, marketing director for the Batavia Park District. “We’ll be having some giveaways. It’s been so active at the Riverwalk [with] families down there playing.”

She said the district will set up a table where people can sign up to enter drawings. Updates will be posted to the district’s website and Facebook page.

“We are going to do lure modules; it attracts all the Pokémon characters, so it’s easier to catch them,” Felkamp said of the meet-up.

She added the district is grateful the band could reschedule after the June 22 concert was canceled because of the streak of bad weather that repeatedly threatened the free Wednesday night shows presented by the district and Batavia Rotary Club.

• BACKSTAGE Continued from page 7 They had to make more than one pot because one was actually for dinner, and one was to be eaten during the cooking process. All my guy cousins would come into the house, rip off the heel from the crusty loaves of bread destined for the afternoon meal, and dip them into the “working” pot, while sticking forks into the treasured concoction, only to pull out a meatball or two and eat them ice cream bar-style, as they were being chased out of the kitchen.

Those nights turned into mayhem, because after dinner, all my girl cousins and aunts poised themselves in front of the black-and-white television set preparing for “his” arrival. Yes, it was that hunk from Wales, Tom Jones. They would all scream throughout the “Tom Jones Show,” so much so that we could barely hear his swivel-hipped version of “It’s Not Unusual” or “Delilah.” But because of those nights, I became a huge fan of the musical variety shows, including “Sonny & Cher,” “Carol Burnett,” “Ed Sullivan” and so many others. I thank my screaming aunts and cousins for this appreciation.

We were outside 12 hours a day, entering unlocked door after unlocked door of my friends’ houses. I would hang with my older guy cousins, who taught me so much about music. As they hung

in the local watermelon/beef stand, they would all be trying to hit those high, Four Seasons notes, with ear-bleeding renditions of “Big Girls Don’t Cry” that I fondly recalled with the emergence of the musical “Jersey Boys.” I forgot how much of a Four Seasons fan I was until the musical came out. I have since seen it over 20 times. I’m a huge fan of those cool pop tunes, thanks to the guys in my old neighborhood.

My career in music has been a wild one. My roster at The Arcada will dictate my love for a wide variety of music. From the Glenn Miller Orchestra to Bret Michaels of Poison, to Engelbert Humperdinck and Foreigner, every week is an adventure as to not which genre of music we will feature, but how many will be presented. Many people who attend the shows have expressed their appreciation for what we are doing at The Arcada, keeping “live” music alive and bringing the bands of their youth to their back yard. I appreciate the kind words, but it’s my old Italian neighborhood that deserves the thanks.

Appetizers broadcast southern hospitality Southern hospitality is well documented. But as Dallas-based food writer Denise Gee makes abundantly clear in her latest cookbook, “Southern Appetizers” (Chronicle), an excellent measure of said hospitality is often gaged by the nibbles hosts put out for their guests’ consumption.

Southerners, it turns out, are smitten by appetizers of all kinds.

Gee, who grew up in Natchez, Miss., confides in the book’s introduction that no matter how much she appreciates the congenial atmosphere of a well-laid-out buffet table “these days I rarely see such over-the-top grandeur” – even though the intent to impress lives on.

GENEVA – Truffle, fennel and other appetite teasers lend culinary panache to the star-billed attraction at The Burger Local in Geneva, which enjoys a strong supporting cast of salads, tacos and other fare.

A lively, spacious dining room and bar occupy a glass-corner space next to the downtown parking deck east of the train station. Plank walls and darkly dramatic chandeliers help create the urban chic vibe, and the soaring ceiling moderates sound levels even in a packed house. Attractive constellations of flat-screens tuned silently to multiple channels let us enjoy Olympic action as we dined.

On a late Saturday afternoon, people already were beginning to fill the eatery. We opted for a window-side, high-top table. The gauzy-curtain-softened view opened onto the patio dining shaded by umbrellas.

Knowing we’d give into our pie cravings for dessert, we managed to resist appetizers including deviled eggs with lump lobster, bacon, micro cilantro and homemade hot sauce, as well as the in-house pierogis prepared with potato and caramelized onion or sauerkraut and pan fried in sage butter. Another lure was the mac n’ cheese available in its glorious basics or with an array of options to dress it up with everything from pesto to shrimp and pork belly.

The emphasis on local ingredients is touted on the website, with the beef sourced from cattle raised in Illinois and Iowa, and processed in DeKalb.

It may be difficult to think about gardening for the fall while you are still battling the effects of the hot summer we have had this year. You may feel like you are just trying to keep plants alive! Even the most passionate gardeners tend to become a little fatigued at this point with constant demands to water, deadhead and ward off pests and diseases. However, if you plan to have fall vegetables, it is time to start planning now.

Just like early spring veggies, the

Broccoli often tastes sweeter when grown in the fall, writes columnist and master gardener Darlie Simerson.

LEARNING TO GROW Darlie Simerson time window is very brief for fall.

The exciting part is that fall gardening requires minimal work, and the harvest is often more delicious than at other times of the growing season.

seeds as directed on the packaging. See, it’s easy!

If you are like me and don’t think about fall planting until the temperatures start to drop, you can plant seeds for kohlrabi, leaf lettuce, mustard, turnip and winter radish from Aug. 15 to 24. Leaf lettuce, mustard, spinach and spring radish can be seeded as late as mid-August to mid-September. If you go beyond this time interval, put a reminder on your calendar for next year!

vegetables sweeter. Row covers and cold frames will extend your growing season even more by holding in the heat from the sun during cooler nights.

I especially like broccoli and lettuce as cool weather crops. If I can save them from the hungry rabbits, they are much better tasting than spring crops.

In addition, it’s great to have fresh vegetables at the end of the season before winter sets in.

Other cool weather crops include Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, turnips, collards, peas, radish, kale, Swiss chard and spinach. If you select a green bean with a short maturation time (50 to 60 days), it will produce before temperatures become too low.

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose motherhood with extra nonsense to juggle.

Take my cousin Emily, plagued with a sole cricket apparently separated from its tribe, whose mournful solo upset her household. She’d heard one could lure a cricket out of hiding with molasses water, but it wasn’t that simple. Of course it wasn’t.

“I’m sitting here listening to the cricket while the dogs bark because we put them in Zoe’s room so they wouldn’t drink the molasses water,” she said. Yeah. Never in our wildest dreams, once we learned we were to be parents, did such absurd scenarios seem possible! But there’s never a dull moment for a parent, no matter

the species. It’s no wonder I can’t stay awake once I finally flop onto the couch, no matter the spectacle on TV. Yesterday my weariness got the best of me, though, and I executed my fantastic flop several hours early, at Starved Rock State Park. Sadly, it was nothing as spectacular as a close call in one of the canyons. No, I fell uphill. And not even up a real hill, for Pete’s sake. Up some stairs, actually.

(Indeed, I tripped on my Tevas as I headed into the lodge in search of a ladies room. And that was before the long trek to St. Louis Canyon in the 90-degree weather.) In my defense, I stumbled in style.

“Your toes were pointed,” Holly volunteered hours later, as we laughed about it over dinner with Noah and their friends in the lodge. (Of course they were. Once a gymnast always a gymnast, right?) And my fantastic flop wasn’t a total loss. Seems I got a great workout in the process. (This I

know because my abs are killing me this morning). So what if I fell asleep on the couch again? But last night, I missed it all. Every single thing. I’d thought it was the ladies’ gymnastics individual event finals in Rio that I’d missed, or maybe the all-around, but no matter, I wanted to watch it. Holly was so disgusted with me I figured she’d make me Google the results, so I looked it up this morning and learned that I hadn’t missed the ladies at all (seems the men competed last night).

The time for redemption is nigh!

“Achooo!” Oh man. That hurt. But still, an impressive sneeze, as usual.

I’ve still got it. “A perfect 10!” I called to Holly downstairs. I can feel the eye roll from here.

The Olympics is so much work.

Seriously, it’s all I can do to keep my eyes open.

“Mom, wake up!” my daughter implored. I’d missed another of Michael Phelps’ golden moments, and she was not impressed.

No offense to the athletes, who’ve worked their entire lives for these moments, but, wow, by the time their fantastic feats are aired on television, it’s way past my bedtime. In my defense, I have good reason for my weariness, including Mr. Posey’s recent stint at the emergency veterinary hospital, where he convalesced following an apparent grass overdose.

Yes, the little bugger evaded us once more. This time things were touch and go, though, and he came *this* close to requiring surgery. ’Twas a long night.

(I remain on the lookout for a massive poop to paw through, to confirm my suspicions. Fur babies are fun, too!)

18 Follow steps to avoid COPD flare-up Dear Dr. K: I have COPD. What can I do to

avoid symptom flare-ups?

Dear Reader: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, is a long-term condition that makes breathing difficult. Breathing is a lot easier if you take your medicine and do any other therapy as directed.

Several types of medicines reduce the risk of flare-ups. Inhaled corticosteroids that reduce inflammation in the breathing tubes are one kind. Long-acting bronchodilators (BRONK-o-DIAL-a-tors) that keep the breathing tubes wide are another kind. A third kind are long-acting anticholinergics (AN-tieKOLE-in-ER-jicks), which also act to keep the breathing tubes wide.

Other types of medicines are used to treat flare-ups. These include bronchodilator and anticholinergic drugs that act rapidly and do not last as long as the drugs used to reduce the risk of flare-ups.

Besides using the medicines as prescribed, there are other important things you can do to avoid symptom flare-ups: PREVENT RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS. Sudden worsening of COPD often is triggered by a respiratory infection. Any respiratory infection -- even a common cold -- can cause a flare-up.

Do whatever you can to avoid catching whatever is going around. That includes: • Washing your hands frequently with soap and water or alcohol-based instant hand sanitizers.

• Staying away from people who have colds or other respiratory infections.

• Getting a flu shot every year.

• Getting vaccinated against pneumonia as needed.

You may also benefit from an antiviral medication, such as oseltamivir (Tamiflu), for reducing your risk of getting influenza during flu season. An antiviral medication can help speed the resolution of the flu, if you get it. And this, in turn, reduces your risk of a flare-up of COPD.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff There is one flu medicine that you should not use, however: zanamivir (Relenza), an inhaled powder antiviral. The powder can irritate the lungs of a person with COPD. EXERCISE REGULARLY. Aerobic exercise, which increases heart rate and breathing rate, is the most beneficial. Examples include walking and swimming. If you want something less aerobically challenging, try yoga or tai chi. Aim for at least 20 minutes of exercise per day on most days.

PRACTICE PURSED-LIP BREATHING. This technique will help you pace yourself through physical activities. Before you start moving, inhale through your nose so deeply that your abdomen expands. Then, as you begin to move, exhale through your mouth with your lips pursed to slow down the airflow. Your exhalation should last twice as long as your inhalation. You will feel pressure in your windpipe and chest as you slowly breathe out.

When you finish exhaling, rest for a moment, then inhale and start the process again.

AVOID LUNG IRRITANTS. An important way to control your symptoms and prevent flareups is to keep your airways from becoming irritated. Many things can affect the airways, including exhaust fumes from your stove, smoke from your fireplace, dry air, and molds and mildew. If you have allergies, try to avoid exposure to whatever causes them -- pollen, pet dander, house dust, mold and so on.

If you follow these tips, I think you’ll find that you have fewer episodes of severe difficulty in breathing.

Dr. Wallace: I would like to share my ideas regarding the mother who was worrying about her teenage daughter spending too much time alone in her room.

My own daughter and I have a wonderful relationship. She was a very busy girl during her high school years and was a cheerleader and active in several clubs. She also had a boyfriend, but she continued to maintain a 4.0 grade point average. She also took a part-time job in her senior year.

I was feeling pretty “leftout,” and it took me a while to understand her need for privacy and “down time” alone without taking it personally.

My suggestion to this girl from Detroit is to set aside some time in her busy schedule just for mom. She should share what’s happening in her life.

Mom will then feel special and involved.

My daughter and I chose to have breakfast together every Saturday morning and this has worked for us. – Happy Mom,

Denver, Colo.

Happy Mom: Thanks for the

sound advice. Open and honest communication on a regular basis is the foundation of family harmony.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 13 and have a major problem with my “so-

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace called” best friend, Megan. Yesterday, we got into a terrible argument. It ended when we called each other very nasty names and walked away from each other.

This morning (Saturday) I went over to her house to talk with her.

The arrangement was made by our mothers. At first Megan acted like a good friend, but when another girl came over to her house, she told me to “Please go home now because I want to spend time with my very good friend, Karla.”

I was very hurt and surprised by her attitude. I quickly left her house and went straight home and up to my room and cried for over an hour.

Please tell me what I should do.

I’m not a really popular girl, but Megan has many friends. –

Sara, Columbus, Ohio Sara: It’s obvious that Megan

no longer considers you a “best friend,” so it’s time to expand your list of good friends.

However, there is no reason why the two of you can’t continue to be “good friends”. Send her a note and let her know

that you are aware that she has other friends, but that you hope the friendship you have had with her over the years will continue.

Your next step will be to start a vigorous campaign to acquire some new friends.

You should get active in school activities and clubs, and other organizations, such as church youth groups, and community activities geared to young adults.

This will take a little time, but you will soon meet other teens who share similar interests and will become friends.

Do not sit at home feeling “left out” because Megan isn’t spending a lot of time with you.

Get active immediately!

Dr. Wallace: A very good friend of mine died from an overdose.

I was so upset that I could not even attend his funeral.

Now some of my friends are ragging on me for not going, and now I’m feeling really guilty about not going.

Do you think I was wrong for not attending his funeral? –

personal. It is not wrong that you did not attend your friend’s funeral.

• Thursday, August 18, 2016

I’m a 21-yearold college student.

Recently, my cousin (also 21) moved in with my parents and me because her mom is verbally and mentally abusive.

Lately, I’m having issues with her being here.

She constantly barges into my room, leaving me no time for myself. Most days she ends up napping in my bed instead of hers, leaving drool on my sheets. When she comes home from school, she drops all of her things in my room. My parents cleared out a room for her, yet most of her stuff is in mine.

She gets ready in my room instead of hers and talks on the phone with her boyfriend loudly while I’m studying or reading.

She’s constantly complaining about school, her boyfriend, work, etc.

If I get invited somewhere, she tries to tag along.

I don’t know what to do. I need time for myself. I can’t bring these issues up to her because she’s extremely sensitive and will see it as an attack. I don’t know how much longer I can take it because she is stuck here until November. Please help. – California Girl Dear California Girl: You need to talk to your parents about your cousin’s lack of boundaries.

Everyone needs personal time, and yours should be respected. Installing a lock on your bedroom door could guarantee that your cousin stays out in your absence.

However, because you are all adults -- even though your cousin appears to be emotionally stuck in adolescence – some rules need to be established. If she would consider it an attack if they come from you, your parents should be the ones who deliver the message.

Dear Abby: I’m 13 and my problem is, when I look in the mirror, all I can see is ugliness. My mother has heard the way I talk about myself, and she doesn’t like it one bit.

But I can’t seem to stop because all I hear is, “You’re ugly or you’re fat. Go on a diet!”

Is there something wrong with me? Do I need help? If so, what type of help? – West Coast Teen Dear West Coast Teen: Whether or not you are overweight is something your doctor should determine.

As to your being “ugly,” most young teenagers go through a period of transition.

Your problem isn’t your looks. It’s the voice in your head.

My advice to you would be to concentrate on developing the things you are good at – sports, music, art, drama – and let the rest take care of itself because it will.

Spending time alone can be good

Also featured: an ointment to halt eyeglass slippage. Mark Cuban, Lori Greiner and Kevin O’Leary are among the regular Sharks participating here.

7 p.m. on ) WGN Masters of Illusion The CW is home to quite a few characters who don disguises, so the title of the episode “Magical Metamorphoses and Masked Men” makes the half-hour seem well-placed. Erix Logan, Farrell Dillon, Matt Marcy, The Shocker, Bill Cook, RJ Cantu and Sittah are the illusionists who carry out the related trickery. Dean Cain is the host. Another episode follows.

After being threatened with sexual assault and murder, she managed to escape from her captor — who pursued her to an autoparts store and held her and two employees as hostages. Ware wasn’t done fighting back, though, as she explains on-camera (while she’s played by actress Amy Rapp in dramatized sequences).

8 p.m. on + WTTW Masterpiece Mystery!

A chapter in British TV history closes tonight as actor Kevin Whately bids farewell to a role that has spanned nearly 30 years in his career: Detective Inspector Robbie Lewis, a character he first created on “Inspector Morse” in 1987, then eventually continued in his own “Inspector Lewis” sequel.
