Mallory Jackson of St. Charles and her twin brother, Joe, race together at Sycamore Speedway. This year, Mallory won the spectator championship and Joe won the demolition championship. Mallory is the first woman to win the men’s division in more than 50 years. the barn. He said they were competitive then and they still are.

Joe Jackson Jr. began racing competitively when he was 14 years old. Their grandfather also had been a driver.

“Racing has been in our blood,” he said.

Joe Jackson Jr. has always built his own cars as well as helped his dad build Mallory’s.

He prides himself in building cars that help Mallory win, as well as making sure they are safe.

“It’s nice to see my car beat previous champions,” he said.

Joe Jackson Jr.’s passion is racing demolition. He describes it as going into a pit with 10 other cars and smash-

ing into each other until the last car is standing, although Streit said there’s quite a bit of skill involved.

“It’s a good frustration reliever,” Joe Jackson Jr. said.

Joe Jackson Jr. won his first demolition when he was 15. This year he won the championship.

After racing every weekend of the season for the past eight years – and for Joe Jackson Sr. a lot longer than that – the Jacksons are going to take a break next year. The St. Charles family will do some camping and fishing, and have some free weekends during the summer.

“We’re finishing on a high note,” Joe Jackson Sr. said.

Police sergeant’s Insanity Haunted House is spooktacular

By TARAH THORNE

tthorne@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – There’s more than 7,000 square feet of spooks at Insanity Haunted House, 3800 E. Main St., St. Charles, inside Charlestowne Mall – next to the movie theater.

Elburn Police Sgt. Pete Pavia started the haunted house last year. He said it includes about 20 different frightening scenes, 30 to 40 actors on any given night and “an extreme haunt.”

“I’ve just always been ‘that guy’ that

loves Halloween,” Pavia said. “I started out by decorating my entire yard, which led to creating a full [attraction] in my garage.”

Pavia said opening Insanity Haunted House in St. Charles was a “huge success its first year.”

Insanity is open Oct. 28, 29 and 30.

The box office opens at 6:30 p.m. each day. Haunted house hours on Friday and Saturday are 7 to 11 p.m. Haunted house hours on Sunday are 7 to 10 p.m.

Pavia said it takes about 10 to 12 minutes to go through the haunted

house in its entirety. Admission is $15 per person or $25 per person to be VIP and skip the line.

“Face your fear as you make your way through rooms full of torture, torment and terrifying screams. … Come face to face with the types of creatures that nightmares are made of. Once you step inside Insanity you’ll be begging for more while screaming to get out,” the website states.

The website also states Insanity is not recommended for children age 12 or younger – or the weak of heart. The

actors will not touch anyone, it stated.

Pavia said there are special matinee hours from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, where children – or those feeling a little less brave – can go through the haunted house with the lights on and without actors present.

The evening haunts are full-on insanity, Pavia said.

“It’s in your face – it’s extreme,” he said.

Visit www.insanityhh.com or call 630-805-2638 for tickets and information.

Fellow racer and flagman Dave Radloff would agree with that.

“I’ve had a blast racing with her,” he said. “You don’t have to worry about Mal. She races the same as we all do. When we’re out there, she’s just another car with us.”

Her dad might be her biggest fan.

Joe Jackson Sr. had been a racer for 25 years before he retired. He said he is very proud of his daughter, although he did admit to being a little nervous at first. He’s more relaxed these days.

“She can drive a car,” he said.

He said that from the time Mallory and her brother Joe were 11 years old, he would take them out to their cousin’s farm to race his stock cars around

St. Charles residents Mallory Jackson and her twin brother, Joe Jackson Jr., started racing at Sycamore Speedway when they were 16.

This year, at 24 years old, Mallory won the spectator championship, becoming the first woman to win the men’s division.

“Ten years ago a woman never even tried to seriously race against the men,” said Bonnie Streit, a friend of the family and a former racer.

Streit used to race in the powder puff division for many years before Mallory started racing.

“When Mallory started [racing], I could see she had talent,” Streit said.

“I was so happy when she broke that barrier.”

Mallory started out in the powder puff division, racing in cars that her father, Joe Jackson Sr., and brother had built for her.

She won the championship in the powder puff division in her fifth year of racing in 2013.

Once she had conquered that division, Mallory decided she wanted to try racing in the spectator division.

Three years later, she has won the championship in that division, beating all of the guys she raced against.

“I’m the first girl to do that ever,” she said. “It’s a big accomplishment.”

Not only is she the first woman to win the spectator division, she is the first woman to place in the top five against the men.

“She is cool, calm and really good at holding her own,” Streit said. “And from what I see, she truly earned the respect of the men she raced with.”

Mallory said that what she appreciates is the men treat her as just another driver.

“I’m having to work for it,” she said.

ST. CHARLES – St. Charles Mayor Ray Rogina began his legislative update Oct. 19 with news about the recent grand opening of Fox Valley Volkswagen.

Alderman Dan Stellato then held off with some surprise news until near the end of the luncheon at the Royal Fox Country Club. Stellato announced that an Audi dealership is coming to St. Charles in 2017.

Those news items were just two highlights of the many things discussed as Rogina and Stellato took turns handling the microphone and discussing the most recent happenings in the city.

“I’m very proud to say that Volkswagen came from West Chicago to St. Charles,” Rogina said. “It’s very important for us because a car dealership brings in solid tax revenue. We went to the grand opening the other day, and they’ve got a remarkable operation.”

Rogina and Stellato especially

“They said that they were very pleased with the professionalism of the city staff,” Rogina said. “They said we’ve been a pleasure to work with and that they [look] forward to being a long-term benefit to our community.”

An update on AJR Filtration, a leading full-line manufacturer of quality-engineered dust collection, liquid and custom filter bags and cartridges in St. Charles, also was provided.

Aurora, Batavia, Geneva and two cities in Mississippi all were potential relocation sites for the expanding AJR Filtration, but St. Charles was able to get it to stay, offering tax incentives.

“We got them because so much of our

staff worked very hard to get a tax incentive for them,” Stellato said. “They get a unique break from school and park taxes. It’s going to bring 150 new jobs this year and 200 new jobs in the next couple of years. It’s a home run for us.”

A small bit of news was provided about the state of The Quad property, which was formerly known as Charlestowne Mall. Construction of a Cooper’s Hawk restaurant and a Starbucks are proceeding as planned, but nothing new was shared.

“The mall continues to be a work in progress,” Rogina said. “But I’m confident that things will be happening at the site.”

Finally, Rogina praised the group that helped St. Charles receive a fivebloom rating out of a possible five blooms in the prestigious annual America in Bloom National Awards Program.

“We entered last year and we got a ‘B’ and some constructive criticism,” Rogina said. “We went back at it this year, and we got an ‘A’ on our report card. I didn’t get many ‘A’s’ in high school.”

D-303 reviews proposal to close Haines

By MARTHA QUETSCH

editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – More than 70 people on Oct. 24 attended the first of three presentations this week by St. Charles School District 303 about a proposal that includes closing Haines Middle School and expanding Thompson and Wredling middle schools.

The school board is expected to vote on the $50 million project Nov. 14.

To pay for the projects, the district would use a grant, existing budget savings and money from previous bond sales. Officials said district property taxes would not increase as a result of the construction, so a voter referendum would not be necessary.

District officials in recent years studied various options for addressing declining kindergarten enrollment and outdated facilities. They have hosted about 50 public meetings to receive feedback from residents on possible ways to address those issues.

During the Oct. 24 presentation school officials hosted at Wredling Middle School, they answered questions from the audience regarding students, school boundaries and other concerns.

Starting next fall and continuing through the 2018-19 school year, all district sixth-graders would attend school at Thompson, with students occupying areas that are not under construction;

seventh- and eighth-graders would attend Haines.

School officials said safety would be a priority during the construction projects. When sixth-graders are attending Thompson, the construction will be walled off from the rest of the school where students are present.

“We will ensure your kids are safe,” middle school administrator Steve Morrill said. “In general, kids won’t know the construction is even going on.”

Under the proposal, middle school students from Bell Graham, Ferson Creek, Lincoln, Richmond/Davis and Wasco elementary schools would go to Thompson Middle School after fifth grade. Students from Anderson, Corron, Fox Ridge, Norton Creek, Munhall and Wild Rose elementary schools would attend Wredling Middle School.

Some parents were concerned that the attendance boundaries for the district’s two high schools would change if Haines closes, but officials said those

boundaries would remain the same – high school assignments will continue to be determined by where students live, not by which middle school they attend.

Under the proposal, the district would build 11 new science labs at Thompson Middle School. The school’s labs haven’t been updated for more than 50 years, officials said. Also for Thompson, the project would add 31 new classrooms, a cafeteria for 500 students, an additional gymnasium, air conditioning throughout the school and improved traffic flow and parking.

Among proposed improvements for Wredling Middle School is an expanded cafeteria.

Under the construction timeline, in the summer of 2017, the district would expand the Wredling cafeteria, improve the Wredling science labs and begin modernization at Thompson.

During the 2017-18 school year, the district would begin implementing its new middle school boundaries. The Thompson project would be finished by fall of 2019. At that time, Thompson and Wredling would again house sixth through eighth grades, and Haines would close.

By closing Haines, officials expect the district would save $2.4 million annually. Haines faculty and the school principal will be reassigned within the district. Officials have not proposed any future use or sale of the Haines Middle School building.

want to stay in a sport, but also give them the experience of trying different sports so they have enough information and exposure to decide for themselves what activities they’d like to pursue.”

Kids can start with a sport such as floor hockey or flag football at a basic or junior level and stay with it

as they grow physically. Classes that accommodate their developing skills challenge athletes as they increase endurance, strength and agility.

With a wide variety of sports offered at flexible schedules, an All Star Sports class is an ideal way for children to try out different athletic options at a young age, through positive reinforcement and expert coaching.

Smith and his staff also stress the importance of teamwork in their course philosophy.

“We really try to integrate that team spirit and camaraderie right off the bat,” he said. “For the rest of your life, no matter what you do, you are going to be part of a team. All my life lessons I can trace back to playing sports and being part of that team.”

ST. CHARLES – The Downtown St. Charles Partnership has announced that Donnie Wahlberg, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg and their family have been selected as grand marshals for the 2016 Electric Christmas Parade, which will take place at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 26 on Main Street in downtown St. Charles.

The Wahlbergs were married in downtown St. Charles in September 2014 at the historic Hotel Baker. The wedding was featured on their A&E show, “Donnie Loves Jenny,” and the couple officially moved to St. Charles in 2015, a news release stated. The couple has been spotted enjoying the suburban life on their show and by locals alike.

“We couldn’t be happier that Jenny, Donnie and their family will be grand marshals of this year’s Holiday Homecoming parade,” Mayor Ray Rogina said. “The city of St. Charles is appreciative of the positive light they have shed on our community and the entire Tri-Cities area with their reality show ‘Donnie Loves Jenny.’ We also recognize their gracious, giving spirits. Earlier this year, they held a benefit concert at the Arcada Theatre and a VIP event at Hotel Baker to raise funds for Generation Rescue autism organization. We are thrilled they will be a part of St. Charles’ much-anticipated holiday tradition this year.”

Jenna Sawicki, executive director of the Downtown St. Charles Partnership, said: “Having the Wahlbergs as the grand marshal is going to be so exciting! We are ecstatic to have them a part of this community event.”

Holiday Homecoming is a two-day event featuring the Lighting of the Lights at 5 p.m. Nov. 25, as well as sleigh rides on 1st Street, visits with Santa, a holiday movie and the grand finale – the Electric Christmas Parade.

Four-year-old Owen loves to run like the wind, preferably chasing a ball. Eight-year-old Hannah has impressive eye-hand coordination skills and loves riding in the golf cart with her dad on Saturday mornings.

How and when a child develops a talent for a particular sport can be shaped by many influences – parents, friends, preschool programs or school physical education classes. But for kids ages 2 to 12, there is perhaps no better way to learn to love one sport – or many – than through courses, leagues and camps. Many are offered locally through a partnership with the St. Charles Park District and All Star Sports Instruction that has been bringing the joy of sports to St. Charles area children for more than a decade.

From flag football to floor hockey, basketball to baseball, volleyball to golf and lacrosse, All Star Sports Instruction employs sport-specific, experienced coaches and directors who have played their sports at the highest level.

“We have instructors who have played at a professional level and can teach students about specific techniques, how to compete and how to play in a way that most other programs can’t match,” said Derek Smith, founder and president of All Star Sports Instruction.

The philosophy is all about fun and getting started on the right foot.

Gateways to sports can begin as early as the parent-child classes for 2- and 3-year-olds, said Melissa Caine, athletic supervisor for the St. Charles Park District, and branch into early childhood programming for 3- and 4-yearolds. Instruction for individual sports can then begin as early as age 5.

“We want these kids to get out there and have a positive experience and have fun,” Smith said. “We want to make sure they are guided down the right path. Our whole goal is to make them

Blecker receives censure from board

By BRENDA SCHORY

bschory@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – The St. Charles Public Library’s rules for public comment at its board meetings are under inquiry by the Illinois Attorney General’s Office following a request for review by the Kane County Chronicle.

In its request for review, the Chronicle stated that restricting public comment to agenda items was a violation of the Open Meetings Act, which states that “any person shall be permitted an opportunity to address public officials under the rules established and recorded by the public body. Such rules may limit the time allotted for the public to speak.”

Illinois Press Association attorney Donald Craven said the restriction is a violation of the Open Meetings Act. “They get to talk about whatever they want to talk about,” Craven said. “The purpose is to allow them – the public – to address the board on matters of importance to them. The board loses.”

Barbara Klyszek, a former youth services librarian, said she attempted to speak to the board at its Oct. 12 meeting about the qualifications of the new Library Director Edith Craig, whom the board just hired.

Klyszek said board President Tory Haines told her she could not speak about Craig because the topic was not on the agenda.

“I would think it is free speech and my right to be able to address the board on any given subject that deals with the library and the taxpayers’ money,” Klyszek said. “What I was going to do was ask for clarification on a recent hire and the new director coming in Nov. 1. And as soon as she knew what I was going to talk about, Tory just shut me down.”

Craig’s hiring stirred some controversy as she has no previous experience as a library director, but board

CAMPTON HILLS – Trustees voted to censure Campton Hills Village President Harry Blecker at their Oct. 18 meeting, saying he violated their trust when he spoke to the media about what was discussed in a closed meeting.

Blecker released information to the Kane County Chronicle about why the board held a closed meeting Sept. 28 to discuss hiring an outside law firm to pursue getting 140 acres of open space in the Fox Mill subdivision to be accepted by the Kane County Forest Preserve District. The issue is a 20-year-old unfulfilled landcash requirement from Fox Mill, officials said.

Public bodies must hold meetings in public, but the Open Meetings Act allows a few exemptions, such as personnel issues, litigation that is probable, pending or immanent, or for the purchase or sale of land.

Village attorney Julie Tappendorf told the board there was no law against public officials revealing what is said in a closed session meeting.

“But the board has the right to set a policy for its own procedures,” Tappendorf said.

“If by censuring me, the board is trying to embarrass me – so be it. I have a clear conscience knowing I did the right thing and [tried] to be a good steward of the residents’ money.”

Harry Blecker, Campton Hills village president

First they voted unanimously to create a policy asserting the confidentiality of closed meetings, including a warning that a violation “could result in censure of a Village Board member or appropriate disciplinary action against a village employee or other official.”

Then they voted to censure Blecker.

Trustee James McKelvie said when information is released that is not entirely true or complete, then the public can get worked up over nothing.

“I think it’s important to have integrity and I think it’s important to have trust,” McKelvie said. “We were counseled by our lawyer that we need to hold those closed discussions closed and sacred.”

But Blecker responded by saying when he ran for office, he promised open government and trustworthy leadership.

“If by censuring me, the board is trying to embarrass me – so be it,” Blecker said. “I have a clear conscience knowing I did the right thing and [tired] to be a good steward of the residents’ money.”

Blecker said in the past five years, Campton Hills spent about $50,000 on the Fox Mill open space issue.

Blecker said when trustees held a closed meeting citing litigation as an exception, he believed it might have been a violation of the Open Meetings Act. Blecker said a meeting may be closed to the public when litigation is filed, pending, probable or immanent – and that was not the case with regard to Fox Mill.

The board later overrode Blecker’s veto, voting in open session to hire Montana and Welch for $6,000 to work on the Fox Mill issue – not enough

money to substantiate pursuing a lawsuit, Blecker said.

“This again indicates that the litigation was not immanent or probable,” Blecker said.

Blecker said he would not take the issue to the Illinois Attorney General’s public access counselor, saying it would be “a waste of time” that would only embarrass the board, waste time and resources.

“I will not say more to break closed session and risk a future censure,” Blecker said.

“I, too, have a personal agenda – that is to do the right thing for all the residents, not just a small section.”

Blecker said his actions may have pushed the forest preserve district and the homeowners association at Fox Mill to sit down and work out an agreement “without having to litigate this and cost everybody more money.”

When Blecker was finished speaking, the public present in the audience applauded him.

Blecker said he may have lost the battle when the board overrode his veto, “but I’ve won the war.”

“I got a meeting between the forest preserve and the homeowners association and the village has been invited,” Blecker said.

Attorney: Public boards have no legal power to censure

By BRENDA SCHORY

bschory@shawmedia.com CAMPTON HILLS – The Campton Hills Village Board’s censure of Village President Harry Blecker on Oct. 18 for releasing closed-meeting information to the media has no legal basis, said Donald Craven, an attorney for the Illinois Press Association.

Citing an Illinois attorney general opinion from 1991, Craven said a public body has no authority to censure or otherwise discipline another member of the public body.

“The attorney general then was Roland Burris and it also dealt with some public body trying to censure somebody for blabbing about what happened at a closed meeting,” Craven said.

“The Village Board does not have

the authority to sanction the president. They can’t do that.”

In an email response, village attorney Julie Tappendorf, however, said the attorney general’s opinion stated that the Open Meetings Act did not provide for a sanction for violating closed session discussions.

“I agree that the [Open Meetings Act] does not prohibit disclosure of closed session discussions and contains no penalty or sanction for such disclosure,” Tappendorf’s email stated.

“Boards do, however, have the authority to adopt rules of procedure to govern their own meetings, as well as the conduct of their own members.”

Tappendorf cited Roberts Rules of Order, which the board adopted to govern its meetings. It includes the authorization of a motion to

censure “when a majority of a board desires to make a formal statement of disapproval against one of its members.”

Tappendorf’s email stated that a censure does not impose a sanction or fine against an elected official, nor can it result in disciplinary action or removal from office.

But Craven said a censure is a sanction – and the board did not have authority to do it.

“If I were that village president, I’d get a copy of that censure, make somebody sign and seal it, and then frame it as a badge of honor,” Craven said.

Blecker laughed when told of Craven’s assessment of his censure. “I saw the public’s reaction when I read my statement,” Blecker said.

As to whether Blecker was correct in suspecting the Sept.

28 meeting was a violation of the Open Meetings Act, Craven said it is legal for a board to go into closed session to talk about hiring a lawyer – without litigation being pending, probable or immanent.

“Whether there is litigation or no litigation, they can talk about hiring a lawyer – ‘Are we going to hire a lawyer and if so, which one?’” Craven said.

The actual hiring must be done in open session, Craven said, which the board did.

“They do not have to say why,” Craven said. “But if, while in closed session, they are talking about the ‘why,’ that requires a finding that litigation is probable or immanent, and it has to be supported by the minutes of the closed meeting. If they do not want to sue anybody, then litigation is not immanent.”

Karin Rindal and Pam Turrell, America in Bloom judges, visited communities of similar populations and spent two days touring each town, meeting municipal officials, residents and volunteers.

Other competitors in the 30,000 to 50,000 category were Henderson County, N.C., Midland, Mich., and Saratoga, Calif.

America in Bloom Executive Director Laura Kunkle said in the release that: “America in Bloom is helping towns and cities of all sizes achieve their potential. Every year our participants raise the bar, and the accomplishments and progress shown by this year’s group is again remarkable.

These are, without a doubt, some of the best places to live in America.”

To date, 250 communities from 41 states have participated in the program and more than 22 million people have been touched by it, stated the release.

Registrations for the 2017 national awards program can be submitted until Feb. 28. Eligible participants include towns, cities, college and university campuses, business districts, military installations and recognized neighborhoods of large cities.

Continued from page 6 member Karen DeVault said the board hired the best person for the job.

“We were very happy with the interview we had with Mrs. Craig, and with her history and her work story,” DeVault said. “We felt that her personality would be a good match for the library and we were very happy to offer her a job.”

Klyszek also filed a request for review Oct. 14 from the Illinois Attorney General’s Office but said she had not yet received a response.

The Chronicle filed a request for review Oct. 13 and received a copy of the Oct. 20 response, directed to Haines, from Neil Olson, deputy public access counselor and assistant attorney general.

Olson requested a detailed written response to the allegations in the request for review, as well as copy of the agenda, minutes, any verbatim recording and a copy of the board’s rules for public comment.

In an email response to questions, Haines acknowledged that the library is in receipt of the requests for review.

“Given that this matter is pending review and determination by the public access counselor, the library has no comment at this time,” Haines’ email stated.

I love a good marching band. I can barely walk and chew gum at the same time without tripping over my own feet, so watching band members read their music, play their instrument and take tiny steps together to make formations on the field completely amazes me.

I got a heads-up from a colleague during the Geneva-St. Charles North football game that the Geneva marching band would have flames coming out of their tubas during the halftime show.

Flames. Out of the tubas! It was confirmed as I spotted the band director squatting next to the field cradling a fire extinguisher.

So I kept my lens focused on those tubas for their three songs and was rewarded with a great finale.

PICTURING ... with the Batavia Depot Museum

On Sept. 18, 1866, an ordinance was passed by the Batavia Township Board to set up a fire department consisting of 20 or more men who would serve under a captain and one assistant. With no equipment, these men fought fires by the bucket brigade method.

After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the department bought a hand-operated pumper, a hose cart and 500 feet of hose. In 1872, a building was constructed on the island next to the stone jail for storage of the equipment.

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.

By Denise Freese On Friday, Nov. 4 at 8 p.m., the Elgin Symphony Orchestra (ESO) and Music Director Andrew Grams will present an exciting new program called “Inside the Music” at Elgin’s Hemmens Cultural Center.

Designed for both classical music newcomers and connoisseurs alike, this informal event will explore Igor Stravinsky’s Petrushka (1947), a delightful ballet that tells the tale of three puppets, brought to life by a magician, who experience the very real human emotions of love, passion, and jealousy.

The evening will begin at 7 p.m., with complimentary appetizers sponsored by Lagunitas Brewing Company, Dog’s Paw Brewing, Bennigan’s, Chooch’s Pizzeria, and Domani Cafe. Then Andrew Grams will be your guide as he uses visuals and musical excerpts to examine the structure of Petrushka, as well as the context in which it was

composed. After an intermission the ESO will perform the entire piece with audience members experiencing a deeper connection to the music after having gained insight into what makes the work so special.

Judge Hull receives high honor: 2016 Barth Award

By NATALIE JUNS

editorial@kcchronicle.com GENEVA – TriCity Family Services hosted its 32nd annual William D. Barth Award Dinner on Oct. 20 at Riverside Receptions in Geneva.

The award was created in 1985 to honor an individual who has made a lasting impact on the Kane County area through volunteer activities and community service.

This year the award was presented to Judge Clint Hull, who has presided in the Kane County Treatment Alternative Court since 2013. Hull has served as a judge for seven years.

Other nominees were Walter Bamert Jr., Judy Burgess, Kristie Granquist Spurgin Dienst and Becky Furnish.

Hull is known for his compassion toward the kids, adolescents, couples and families who come through his court. TriCity Family Services representatives said they’re continually impressed by his knowledge and understanding of unmanaged mental illness and how it can affect peoples’ decisions and actions.

John Lengle presented the award to Hull. Lengle spoke about knowing Hull since he was an adolescent and how he witnessed Hull finding time throughout his adult life to serve the community through volunteer activities.

“When it comes to youth, I don’t think Clint has met an adolescent he didn’t like,” Lengle said. “We have all benefited from his compassion and service to the community. Clint is very accessible to high school and middle school teachers. He makes 15 to 20 presentations per year to talk to adolescents about being careful at parties and other issues. Clint has figured out how to fit in many volunteer activities.”

Lengle mentioned several of Hull’s contributions to the Kane County area. While Hull was serving on the St. Charles Park District Board he helped to transfer the title of the James O. Breen Park to the park district, allowing various sports fields to be built, as well as a community pool and nature center. Hull also worked on creating a place for teens to hang out after school. “The Underground” was created for teens to gather, play video games, watch TV, study for tests, work on homework and enjoy time together.

Hull said he was honored to receive the award.

“I’m truly humbled to receive the Barth award,” Hull said. “I feel like I have a responsibility to live up to – the high bar that has been set for me. I’m given the opportunity to help people with what I see and hear when I serve individuals, couples and families in the mental health court, and the fact I get to do that with TriCity is incredible.”

Groundhogs, also known as woodchucks, have their day in the sun (or fog or snow) Feb. 2.

But fall is the time of year when they pack on the fat that is crucial to their winter survival.

Photo provided

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto such slumber might also be accompanied by a glowing fire, snuggly blankets and maybe nightcap – the kind you wear or the kind you drink, or both.

But in the woodchuck’s world, conditions are anything but warm and cozy.

Hunkered down in a burrow that extends below the frost line, a chubby ’chuck’s body temperature drops from around 100 F to 37 F or so – a few degrees above freezing.

Their respiration drops to one breath every few minutes.

And their hearts slow down to

about four beats per minute – one every 15 seconds. They may rouse from time to time to make a trip to the aptly named toilet chamber, but that’s about it for activity from November through March.

Survival over this long period depends on the amount of body fat – that chubbiness – a woodchuck is able to store before hibernation. This time of year, these guys are in fullon weight gain mode, eating as much as a pound of food a day in order to pack on a few extra ounces before that first really hard frost hits.

Now if you’re like me, you might be thinking how gaining a few ounces really doesn’t sound that difficult.

(In fact, I’m pretty sure

I’ve done exactly that since starting this column, thanks to a bag of M&Ms sitting just a little too close.)

However, woodchucks consume a diet that is almost 100 percent vegetable matter. Although low in fat, this intake is nonetheless used by the woodchuck to produce just that – the fat that will sustain it through the cold-weather months when plant material is in short supply.

My friend Nikki, a longtime fan of woodchucks and in fact all critters, has been lucky enough to observe these preparations over the last few weeks, thanks to the arrival of a new backyard resident.

She related his story in a recent Facebook post: “I

received a call a few weeks ago from a sweet lady who needed to relocate this woodchuck for his own safety. The woodchuck that had lived here before moved (yes, that’s the story I choose to believe) after the fox family moved in last year. With the necessary permits in place we relocated this fellow to his ready-made backyard den. Happily, he seems to be adjusting, and I get free lawn edging!”

Since that time, Nikki reports that Wally has settled into a routine of “eat, sleep and sit on the deck.” He’ll continue this daily agenda – one, I’ve gotta admit, I envy – until he plugs his burrow with soil and leaves and heads into hibernation.

Early next spring he’ll rouse, with 40 percent or more of that stored body fat used up.

More will melt away during those first few wakeful weeks as he looks for two things: food, and a mate. I look forward to more updates from Nikki about Wally and his adventures in her wonderful, wildlife-friendly backyard – a place where every day is Groundhog Day.

This is the third in a series chronicling lesser-known fall season phenomena.

If today were Feb. 2, the star of this week’s column would need little introduction. For well over a century – and even longer if you count the custom’s European roots – Groundhog Day events have given people a reason to celebrate the supposed prognosticating abilities of a pudgy rodent that has a thing about shadows.

(The day is also, near as I can tell, the only holiday that makes repeated and persistent use of the word prognosticate.)

But the rest of the year, Punxsutawney Phil (or Buckeye Chuck or Jimmy the Groundhog or any of the other famous prognosticators) go by a more mundane name – Marmota monax – and many of their activities center around the major physiological changes they undergo now, in the fall of the year.

Groundhogs, which are also known as woodchucks, are one of the relatively few mammals that enter a state of true hibernation. That is, their body temperature drops, their breathing slows and their heart rate plummets, and they live in a state of suspended animation, sometimes for months on end.

We humans tend to think of hibernation as a period of deep sleep – the proverbial “long winter’s nap.” In our world,

Trick or treat?

Seems like a good time of the year to consider some of the choices we make.

For example, the 411 on the telephone surely has outlived the designation “information.” Several of my recent attempts have ended in frustration, laughter and a resolve to crank up the PC no matter how inconvenient.

No, it doesn’t matter to this site whether the desired number is incorrectly offered. No amount of shouting “NO!” will attract a correction. Spelling out the name is not useful and only distracts the non-human responder.

The only satisfaction comes to the phone company when charges are added to the bill for the forlorn attempts.

Here’s a treat. Mister Z has discovered the Urban Counter (urban-counter.com) on the west end of St. Charles/ Geneva on Bricher Road near the BP gas station.

My favorite is the harvest salad. He prefers the Reuben sandwich, stacked so high as to be a reminder of Manny’s in Chicago. Some items are very hot and spicy, so it is wise to inquire and negotiate accordingly. Food is made at the time of the order – fresh and tasty.

Note that the odometer on the Zebra Truck just rolled over 200,000, so it is cool to have a spot not very far from home.

There’s still no place like Corfu for my special treat, Greek chicken. Although John’s cook tends to be stingy on the anchovies for the Greek salad, there are still plenty enough for my restricted salt regime.

And the drive is downhill on the way back.

A treat of another kind may be in

What’s the smell coming from your furnace this fall?

Many homeowners will soon turn on their furnaces for the first time since last winter.

While you may greet the changing seasons with a bit of sadness knowing that Old Man Winter is coming soon, your furnace may emit a unique scent that may remind you of burning dust. Let’s just say there won’t ever be “Burning Dust” cologne.

“Not every furnace will emit that odor the first time it runs each year,” said Thomas Wangler Jr., owner and founder of Confident Aire, Inc. “I had started a client’s and it smelled foul, but when I went home and started my own furnace there wasn’t any smell!”

Wangler suggests that homeowners change their air filters.

“The same air that was flowing through a system when the AC was on shouldn’t be there for the newer, hotter temperatures, so I determined that the bad

odor was coming from accumulated dust,” Wangler said. “I had an air cleaner from Aprilaire that we installed once allergies and asthma became a part of our lives and it’s worked wonderfully.”

Wangler advocates installing a UV light.

“UV lights kill mold and mildew that grows on the AC coil and humidifier pad in the dark recesses of an HVAC unit,” he said. “My client did not have a UV light either. Plus, improperly pitched air conditioner coils can hold one inch of nasty stagnant water? Now that’s gross.”

Finally, for true security and peace of mind, schedule a furnace tune-up.

“They say the early bird gets the worm, but this does not apply directly to furnace tune-ups,” Wangler said. “However, once the furnace burners are cleaned and the machine is tuned to specs, the energy consumption of a furnace goes down.

The earlier in the fall the tune-up occurs, the more ‘worms you will be able to afford at the bait and tackle store.’”

GENEVA – Kane County taxpayers will see a modest increase in their tax levy for the forest preserve district, but they will pay a small amount less in property taxes, county officials said.

Kane County Forest Preserve District commissioners voted in favor of unfreezing the levy Oct. 11.

A tax levy is the amount a public body requests be collected from property taxes.

Although a “frozen levy” was touted by officials the past few years, the majority of forest preserve district commissioners voted to increase the tax levy, using new construction and the consumer price index, which will bring in about $400,000 in new revenue, said board member Michael KenMichael yon, R-South Elgin.

“We won’t be able to Kenyon tell exactly what the levy number is yet,” Kenyon said. “Say the levy is 2 percent and we’ll collect 2 percent on new construction. That adds to the dollar levy from before. It does not increase your taxes, but it taxes new people at the same rate.”

Commission member Susan Starrett, R-Batavia, who voted against the measure, said she voted against it as a tax increase.

“I promised to my constituents I would not vote for a tax levy increase,” Starrett said. “And I keep my promises.”

Contributing to controlling property taxes is the refinancing of debt that will save taxpayers $1.2 million, Kenyon said.

“It does not save us money, but it

It’s not every year you can do that.”

County Board members also serve as forest preserve commissioners.

And as the County Board, they voted the same day to post a draft of its fiscal 2017 budget, where officials managed to plug a $5.7 million budget gap with a combination of increased revenue, budget cuts and income transfers, records show.

The budget draft shows expenses matching revenue of $84.4 million, a 1.31 percent change from the 2016 budget, documents show. The draft will be on display for 30 days.

Nearly all the budget gap had came from department requests for additional spending, such as three new employees for the state’s attorney’s office, four for the public defender’s office, a new sheriff’s deputy, a new corrections officer and two more court security officers, budget documents show.

The 11 new positions will cost $880,000, budget document show.

Kenyon said some of the new costs will be offset by increases in fees, such as a hike in court fees to $25 from $15.

Kane County Chief Financial Officer Joe Onzick was set to present a final draft of the 2017 budget Oct. 25 at the Committee of the Whole. After the draft budget is on display for 30 days for public input, the board will vote in November.

Autism triggers, natural solutions covered at Nov. 10 fundraiser SPONSORED BY

By Gina Kraman “When you address the causes of neurodevelopmental disorders, you can often heal them,” says Dr. David Foss, integrative health expert and doctor of chiropractic at Vital Wellness Center in Elburn.

Dr. Foss will discuss autism triggers, and provide natural solutions for healing this disorder that afflicts one in 68 U.S. children at the fundraiser “Solving the Puzzle: A Natural Hope for the Future,” on Thursday, November 10 from 6-8:30 p.m. at Heritage Prairie Farm, 2N308 Brundige Road in Elburn. Open to parents, teachers, doctors, caregivers and others seeking information and resources about autism and related spectrum disorders. The fundraiser costs $50 per person or $80 per couple and includes cocktails, appetizers, and dessert. Tickets are available at universe.com/solvingthepuzzle. The fundraiser benefits “Generation Rescue,” celebrity

Jenny McCarthy’s autism foundation. Foss is one of Generation Rescue’s recommended doctors.

Explaining his natural healing philosophy, Dr. Foss analogizes, “To help a sick goldfish that’s swimming in a bowl of dirty water, you don’t medicate the fish or say that it has ‘bad genes,’ you need to clean its bowl. Doctors need to focus on the ‘epigenetic’ triggers, the environmental factors that alter one’s genetic expression. Fix the triggers, and heal the child.”

Dr. Foss sites numerous studies that demonstrate how environmental toxins have led to an increase in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Dr. Foss adds, “In addition to toxicity, trauma to the upper cervical spine and nervous system also contributes to neurodevelopmental disorders. Upper cervical misalignments can negatively affect the nervous system, specifically the vagus nerve, leading to sensory, social and immune imbalances. Early chiropractic intervention, to identify and correct the nerve imbalance leads to the best outcomes.”

Vintage Cubs stadium chair up Expert says Illinois must increase education funding for auction at Festival of Trees

By MARK FOSTER

editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – Solving the school funding problem is simple. The state needs to raise taxes. Simple. Problem solved.

That was the message delivered by Ralph Martire, an expert on school funding, at a forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Central Kane County on Oct. 20 at the Batavia Public Library.

“The state has a revenue problem, not a funding problem,” Martire said.

“It’s not an ideological problem, it’s math.”

Martire is executive director of the Center for Tax and Budget Accountability, a bipartisan think tank headquartered in downtown Chicago.

He also serves on a school board for the community of River Forest, giving him experience beyond the Loop’s lofty spires.

Martire rattles off figures in the billions of dollars, but his math is pretty simple. He contends that the state doesn’t spend enough on educa-

tion, particularly where the evidence shows that it is needed most.

He likes to repeat the refrain of “waste, fraud and abuse” as a part of government that he says is both inevitable and overrated.

“Whenever people get together to run an enterprise where there is a lot of money, there is going to be waste, fraud and abuse,” Martire said.

Examining the state’s budget, Martire shows how a big chunk automatically goes to service debt, pensions and other statutory payments.

Once that’s taken care of, there really isn’t that much discretionary spending left for the legislature, he said.

For years, the state has papered over its failure to produce enough revenue by borrowing from pension funds, Martire said.

Property taxes are at their limit and leave less affluent school districts without the funding they need to provide students with an adequate education, he said.

“It has to be redistributive,” Martire said of the solution, which is an increase in state revenues.

A rare, circa 1920 stadium chair from Wrigley Field will be auctioned off at the Nov. 12 Festival of Trees at the Holiday Inn Northwest in Elgin.

“The chair was purchased from a St. Charles man who bought it in the late 1960s at Wrigley Field,” said Kay Catlin, events manager for the Ecker Center for Mental Health, which will host the fundraising gala.

Ecker board of directors member Dave Conroy and his wife, Lori, residents of St. Charles, donated the chair to the Nov. 12 live auction.

Subsequently authenticated by a vintage stadium chair expert, the chair is a free-standing Heywood Wakefield model in original condition save for two back slats, according to a news release. These were replaced many years ago and have since aged themselves.

The seat mechanism has been shored up, so it is a functional chair, not to mention a conversation piece for the home, office or even a local sports bar.

“This particular chair dates back to the golden days of baseball when Hall of Famers Rogers Hornsby, Hack Wilson, Gabby Hartnett, Kiki Cuyler and Grover Cleveland Alexander were Cubs. It was there when the first World Series was played at Wrigley Field in 1929, when WGN broadcast its first Cubs game, when the Cubs and Phillies played the highest-scoring game ever with 49 total runs, a record that still stands today,” Catlin said.

Although it’s easy to locate similar Haywood Wakefield chairs installed around the same time at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn and Crosley Field in Cincinnati, the dark green Cubs’ version

Kane County state’s attorney seeks crisis program funding

By RENEE TOMELL

rtomell@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – Joined by advocates of programs that help people with mental health issues receive the care they need to escape a cycle of repeated incarceration, Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon said he has asked for funding for additional crisis intervention team – or CIT – training for law enforcement officers.

At an Oct. 18 briefing, he said a goal of the training is to identify and resolve situations involving people dealing with mental health issues in a way that does not lead to criminal charges for those who are not a threat to others.

To date, 120 of the 1,500 law enforcement officers across the county have received the training, and he said he has included a $40,000 line item in next year’s county budget to train 120 more officers.

On hand to describe the value of the CIT program were three people from the Fox River Valley Initiative, which is composed of community members who want to resolve social problems, and affiliated with the Industrial Areas Foundation. The three were Adrienne McCauley, a lead organizer for IAF, and two representatives of organiza-

tions that are among the initiative’s 14 member groups – Barb Thurlby, director of education and advocacy at Hesed House homeless shelter in Aurora; and Bill Scown, a member of the Joe Unitarian Universalist McMahon Church of Geneva who said he has been working on the issue for more than three years.

Scown said it is unfortunate that the county jail is the primary provider of mental health services for people caught up in the court system, providing only enough care to stabilize individuals during their stay in jail. In 2014, he said more than 20 percent of inmates at the jail were dealing with mental health issues.

“They end up going through release, reoffending and incarceration time after time,” Scown said.

McMahon noted that only a week’s medication is provided upon an inmate’s release, and without the needed follow-up in place.

Scown said alternative programs are proving successful in places such as Miami-Dade County, which emphasizes the CIT program for police officers and first responders.

No Heat? Check these five things before picking up the phone SPONSORED BY

If you experience no heat — or even no cooling during the summer months — here is a checklist of things to look at before calling for service.

• Power – is there power to the unit that is failing? Sometimes the breaker can trip and needs to be reset to restore power. Sometimes the switch by the furnace — the one that looks like a light switch — has been flipped off.

• Thermostat – is it set to call for heat? Is the screen on it blank? Do the batteries need to be replaced?

• Filter –A dirty filter may cause a system to shut down. Try removing it temporarily and re-starting your furnace.

• Critters in the intake outside? Check to see if the intake is clear.

• Poorly conditioned room? Are all of the vents open and free to operate?

The most common cause of service calls is lack of regular maintenance. Now that it’s fall, it is time to have your furnace and humidifier cleaned and checked.

There are many items that are covered in a system maintenance visit, aside from changing the filter.

Regular check-ups will keep your system running smoothly and efficiently. Plus, there is an added incentive from the manufacturer to semiannually maintain according to the requirements outlined in your homeowner’s manual. Now, one must provide proof of proper maintenance with any warranty claim for processing.

The most common culprit of ‘No Heat’, and even ‘No Cooling’ service calls, is ‘No Maintenance’.

But, truly, doing your maintenance regularly mostly benefits you, the homeowner.

The folks at State Automatic Heating & Cooling, who have been serving homes and businesses since 1929, would be happy to help answer any questions you may have.

For more information, visit www.stateautomatic.com, call 630-701-9723, or stop in at 1335 Paramount Pkwy., Batavia, IL 60510.

A related goal is to develop partnerships within the community that focus on medication management, counseling, social services, housing, transportation, education and job search assistance that together help break the cycle, Scown said.

He pointed out it’s not only an ethical response, but a cost-saving measure.

“It’s much cheaper to treat people in the community than incarcerate them … [and to have them] show up at emergency rooms and homeless shelters,” Scown said.

He noted that if people are diverted from jail, the majority of the treatment cost is picked up by Medicaid and federal funding through the Affordable Care Act instead of the county taxpayer.

Thurlby said she can tell which officers have gone through the CIT program when they are called to Hesed House to deal with someone with schizophrenia, for example. It’s apparent in how they exit their vehicle, and how they approach clients in ways that avoid triggering aggressive responses.

She said it helps stop a destructive cycle for people who need care but don’t need to be in jail, and noted it’s been helpful with the rising number of youth at the shelter who are only 18 to

24 years old.

Thurlby praised support from the state’s attorney’s office, Aurora and the sheriff’s office.

McCauley said Hinsdale provided the training for its officers and saw a big drop in the use of force.

Calling the Miami-Dade County program’s statistics “phenomenal,” including lower recidivism, McMahon said the training helps reduce the incidence of officer injury, which keeps more officers on the street and saves on overtime pay. Adding to the savings are lower incarceration rates.

Because of the cost of the 40-hour, weeklong training in terms of instruction and time off the job for officers, which affects the budgets of municipalities, McMahon said the county is phasing in the program.

Added funding sources also are sought. McCauley said when people who have been through the CIT program see the results, it will create a buzz and the political will to expand it.

She also advocates for the creation of comprehensive crisis stabilization centers to provide care in Kane County.

Dear Dr. Mullick, My family never had polyps or cancer. Do I really need a colonoscopy? Jane Dear Jane: Great question. Colon cancer can affect anyone, regardless of family history. Everyone over age 50 should get a colonoscopy. If you have family history you should start at age 40 or 10 to 15 years before the youngest relative with a problem. Screening helps reduce risk.

Dr. Mullick, I’ve got bloating and gas. Sometimes I have diarrhea or nausea after I eat. Could I have food allergies? My doctor said it’s IBS (irritable bowel).

Kristen Dear Kristen: Yes, food intolerances to lactose, sucrose and fructose are common, so you may need to avoid those.

We have tests in the office for that. The symptoms of IBS and food allergies are often similar, so testing for food allergies is reasonable. We can test for that, too. We have helped many patients diagnosed with food allergies, so it’s not all IBS.

U.S. HOUSE DISTRICT 6

U.S. HOUSE DISTRICT 14

What are your thoughts on the Affordable Care Act and whether any changes should be made to it? Eliminating the ACA is not the answer. It has many excellent provisions and has provided health care for millions who were previously uninsured. We can’t take away this vital safety net now that we have it. Too many families will suffer.

Are you endorsing your party’s nominee for president? Explain. I plan to support the Democratic nominee for president. Having said that, I am not actively “endorsing” any candidate for any office, because I am focused on the issues that matter most to the people of my district.

The U.S.’s trade agreements with foreign countries have been criticized during the presidential race. What do you think about trade agreements such as NAFTA and the TPP? Congress should support policies that allow our businesses to thrive and sell to new markets. However, any agreement must be judged on its own merits, evaluating labor, environmental, human rights and other policies of partnership countries. I will heavily scrutinize proposed trade deals that could put American producers out of business.

Randall M. Do you support any new gun control legislation, such as a ban or restrictions on assault-style weapon sales? Explain. I am a strong supporter of our “Randy” 2nd Amendment rights. I believe suspected terrorists on the federal No Fly List Hultgren should be restricted from buying firearms. Republicans and Democrats agree R-Winfield on this, but we disagree on who should decide and place suspected terrorists on the No Fly List. The debate is who should have the ability to deny U.S. citizens their constitutionally-protected right to buy a firearm – an unelected bureaucrat or a judge. Democrats want to vote on an unconstitutional bill that violates due process rights of all American citizens.

Republicans believe Americans are innocent until proven guilty. The government must bear the burden of proof before someone’s rights are taken away, and the ultimate decision must fall to a judge.

What are your thoughts on the Affordable Care Act and whether any changes should be made to it? Since the law’s passage in 2010, Americans have seen their health care costs skyrocket and their treatment choices limited. Many families in our district have even had their plans canceled altogether. In short, far too many families in our community are paying more for less. We must repeal and replace this misguided and harmful law.

Are you endorsing your party’s nominee for president? Explain. I haven’t endorsed Donald Trump because I will not defend all of his provocative statements.

That said, I plan to vote for him for president. He represents a better choice than Hillary Clinton.

Amanda Howland D-near Hawthorn Woods

Democratic candidate Jim Walz did not respond to Shaw Media’s questionnaire.

Peter J. Roskam R-Wheaton Jim Walz D-Gurnee

U.S. HOUSE DISTRICT 11 Why are you the best candidate to represent Illinois in the U.S. House of Representatives? I am running for re-election because I believe we can do more to grow our economy, add jobs in Illinois and support working families. I also strongly support a woman’s right to choose and equal pay for women. In Congress, I will continue to support policies to improve medically assisted treatment options for those suffering from opioid and heroin addiction.

What should the U.S. be doing in the fight against ISIS and other terrorist Bill Foster groups? It is important that Congress pass an explicit Authorization for the Use of Military Force to define and support the powers that the president can use to D-Naperville combat ISIS. There is a broad bipartisan consensus that ISIS should be attacked by a U.S.-led coalition using U.S. and foreign air power and coalition ground forces with very limited special forces intervention. We can achieve this plan without U.S. ground combat troops, who have already been asked to sacrifice too much.

Why are you running in the Nov. 8 general election to be Kane County coroner?

I am running for re-election because I want to continue the process of professionalizing the Kane County Coroner’s Office. I want to ensure that death investigations are performed correctly the first time by applying national best practices (accreditation standards) that objectively review each case.

How would you assess the technological capabilities of the office and how could they be improved? We do the best we can with what we have, but we will need a different, larger facility in the near future. If we do not take action on this in the next few years, I am certain that we will lose our coveted accreditation status.

We are the first office in the state to obtain this prestigious award.

Why are you the best candidate to represent Illinois in the U.S. House of Representatives? The biggest difference between my opponent and myself is that Bill Foster is part of the status quo. He uses every opportunity he can to grow our government and raise our taxes, and I fundamentally disagree with that. We’re the greatest nation on earth not because of our government programs, but because the free enterprise system creates opportunity, opportunity creates jobs, and jobs change people’s lives.

Tonia Khouri What should the U.S. be doing in the fight against ISIS and other terrorist groups? Thankfully, we are seeing ISIS on the defense in the Middle East region, R-Aurora but unfortunately we are also seeing increased, high profile attacks in the West by terrorists claiming allegiance to ISIS. Regardless of the immediate source, ISIS is still a very real threat to us and other nations around the world. We need a grand strategy to fighting terrorism overseas and at home.

Why are you running in the Nov. 8 general election to be Kane County coroner? This country and this county have been great to me and my family and I want to give back by serving the people of Kane County in my field of expertise.

I want to restore a level of trust, respect and compassion that ensures that all Kane County families, and their loved ones, are afforded the best treatment possible.

How would you assess the technological capabilities of the office and how could they be improved? The lack of knowledge of basic mechanics caused a freezer failure and the decomposition of bodies. The failure to label a light switch caused the destruction of forensic evidence. There’s nowhere to go but up in this regard. The coroner’s office and morgue went through extensive renovation then in 2015 and additional technological expenditures will never be a substitute for the quality care and compassion due to Kane County families.

Run into problems voting? Share with County State’s Attorney’s Office KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com

ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – Kane County voters who observe voting problems or irregularities during the Nov. 8 general election should call the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office to report the problems, the office announced

in a news release.

An election complaint line will be available from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Nov. 8.

Anyone who experiences or witnesses any possible illegal election activity, such as electioneering, illegally placed campaign signs or denial of voting rights, should call the hotline at 630208-5328. Assistant state’s attorneys will

take the complaints and are prepared to travel to polling places to ensure compliance with state election laws, according to the release.

“Voters have a right to expect an honest, fair and orderly election,” Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon said in the release. “Although this has been an emotionally charged

campaign season, we are confident that voters and candidates will follow the law. We have never found a notable violation of election laws in the years we have had this complaint line.”

For election questions, such as polling times and places, call the Kane County clerk’s election helpline at 630232-5990.

Do you support a tax hike or hikes to balance Illinois’ budget? Explain. I oppose raising income taxes, property taxes and the multitude of unfunded mandates imposed upon local taxing bodies without a revenue source to support the added cost of compliance. Unfunded mandates are one of the main drivers of high property taxes in Illinois. Local governments must determine how to pay for these unfunded mandates, leaving fewer resources for local governments to perform their core mission.

Illinois’ state pensions are underfunded by more than $110 billion, worst in the Corinne nation. One pension reform plan has been thrown out as unconstitutional.

M. Pierog What’s your plan to reform the state’s pension systems? We need to bring all D-St. Charles parties to the table in good faith negotiations, such as revisiting elements of the compromise pension bill (SB 2404) that was agreed upon by labor organizations, as well as lawmakers, and is fiscally prudent. There are also smaller steps that can be taken immediately, including curbing the spiking of pensions.

How can the County Board help to improve the business climate locally and promote job growth? Through the Jobs Committee that I participate on, we have worked with our Community Development Department by creating a website, www.whykane.org, which promotes why Kane County is good for business. We have worked with local manufacturers by creating the Kane County Exports Grant Program that coincides with the Metro Chicago Exports Grant Program by awarding grants up to $5,000 to reimburse companies 50 percent of eligible expenses associated with implementing an Brian export plan.

W. Dahl If elected, what would your top two or three priorities be as a County Board D-North member? I’m committed that the county provides first-rate services to its Aurora residents. The board’s role in that priority is to provide responsible and timely governance, working with the county staff to see that the county’s agencies are properly staffed and resourced. My second priority is to see that the county government strives to establish and maintain conditions that foster job growth and a healthy regional economy.

Do you support a tax hike or hikes to balance Illinois’ budget? Explain. Illinois is already one of the highest taxed states in the nation. We must work to reduce the waste, fraud and abuse so prevalent in Illinois before we talk about taxes. We also must first pass the common sense reforms proposed by the governor before we pass any tax increases. IF and ONLY IF we pass those reforms would I consider a temporary tax increase to pay down the backlog of unpaid bills. A graduated income tax would be the best way I can think of to accelerate the exodus of small Jim businesses and jobs from Illinois.

Illinois’ state pensions are underfunded by more than $110 billion, worst Oberweis in the nation. One pension reform plan has been thrown out as unconR-Sugar stitutional. What’s your plan to reform the state’s pension systems? I Grove sponsored legislation to put all future employees on a defined contribution plan instead of a defined benefit plan. I believe that is a critical path that we must follow. I also support protecting all defined benefits earned so far, but stopping the accrual of any future defined benefits and converting current employees to a defined contribution plan while protecting their already earned pension benefits.

Republican candidate Donald G. Baltzer did not respond to the Kane County Chronicle’s questionnaire.

Donald G. Baltzer R-Aurora

KANE COUNTY BOARD DISTRICT 10 ILLINOIS HOUSE DISTRICT 50 Do you support any part of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s Turnaround Agenda? Explain.

The governor has whittled down his agenda from more than 40 items to just five. Those five items are: term limits, redistricting reform, work comp reform, property tax freeze and pension reform. I support all five and look forward to bringing about these solutions to help Illinois become a more fair and competitive state.

Will you vote for Michael Madigan to another term as Speaker of the House?

Explain. ABSOLUTELY NOT! I believe his tenure as speaker has been a disaster for Keith R. the state.

How will your professional experience make you a better County Board member than your opponent in this race? My MBA from the University of Illinois and my experience in the private sector, running a local business, makes me the best choice for Kane County Board member. You must understand finance and budgets and always look for ways to save money while bringing in outside funding. I have proven myself to be invaluable in these areas, and District 10 would continue with great representation and knowledge to keep the tax levy down.

What is the greatest challenge facing your County Board district, and what have you done – to date – to solve it? Taxes have been the biggest concern in my district. I have worked to freeze the county tax levy, keep the government efficient and serve the county with less dollars.

Do you support any part of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s Turnaround Agenda? Explain.

I am vehemently against most of the governor’s agenda, especially right-to-work laws being passed at the municipal level. Unions helped to create what was once a strong middle class, and we need to support unions, not destroy them.

I am against term limits because I have seen how long it takes new aldermen and legislators to understand the scope of their powers and learn to use them effectively.

Will you vote for Michael Madigan to another term as Speaker of the House? Valerie Explain. At this time, I don’t know who I will vote for. I will have to see who is L. Burd running against Mr. Madigan. If it is someone who has no experience and no D-Yorkville knowledge of government, then I will vote for Mr. Madigan. If someone better runs, than I will vote for him or her.

How will your professional experience make you a better County Board member than your opponent in this race? As a captain and paramedic for the past 27 years, I have learned how to work with the public every day and by gaining a level of compassion and listening that will be very helpful in working with the board. I know what it means to work with a limited budget while still providing the best care for those in need.

What is the greatest challenge facing your County Board district, and what have you done – to date – to solve it? I feel the greatest challenge in Kane County District 10 is the feeling people have about taxes. Everyone feels taxes are too high; people need to understand that county taxes are between 4 [percent] to 5 percent of their total tax bill. And the county has no control over other portions of their taxes.

KANE COUNTY BOARD DISTRICT 16

KANE COUNTY BOARD DISTRICT 18

Why should voters from your district elect you to the Kane County Board? I will work hard to represent the interests of the residents in the 16th District. I will draw on my experience as an Air Force veteran, South Elgin village trustee, Kane County mental health committeewoman, business professional, mother and wife to make informed decisions that will positively move Kane County forward.

Due in large part to the state budget crisis, many of Kane County’s human service providers are struggling. What can the County Board do to help them continue Jennifer to provide services to the county’s most at-risk residents? The Kane County Mental Health Committee initiated an evaluation process with input from recipients Barconi of service, service providers and other government agencies. These stakeholders D-South Elgin examined existing problems, current levels of service, present and future needs, funding, and service delivery methods in mental health, substance abuse and developmental disabilities. The committee is currently developing a comprehensive recommendation that will support the efficient and equitable distribution of available resources for all service recipients, not just a single diagnostic category.

Many voters feel like they are overtaxed. What will you do to help keep county government spending down? Be specific. I came onto the board in 2008 as the recession set in, and both administrations I have served under have adjusted spending down to needs only and for the past five years have kept the tax levy frozen. Anyone taking a close look at our facilities and operations would find no excessive spending.

If elected, what would your top two or three priorities be as a County Board member? County government, like most, is a balancing act of keeping taxes as low as possible, providing quality services and maintaining quality, fairly-compensated employees. I am also, like many, very concerned about the state of our state and firmly support Gov. Rauner’s Turnaround Agenda.

Why should voters from your district elect you to the Kane County Board? As a lifelong resident of South Elgin, I have been involved as a leader and worked in community events. In the 1980s, I participated in the committee to establish South Elgin’s business association and served as their second president. I am a lifelong Jaycee in both South Elgin and Elgin, serving in many leadership capacities, including president. My involvement also includes my vocation – agriculture. I have served in the Kane County Farm Bureau and was elected to the state board for 10 years.

Due in large part to the state budget crisis, many of Kane County’s human service providers are struggling. What can the County Board do to help them continue to provide services to the county’s most at-risk residents? The county could be the organizer to provide these services, and our staff can help us do so. The County Board has the talent to help these people work together.

Many voters feel like they are overtaxed. What will you do to help keep county government spending down? This is a very difficult question to answer. Government spending is always a heated topic amongst taxpayers. I believe that if government is going to spend taxpayers’ money they need to make sure that whatever project is being worked on is going to holistically benefit the community.

If elected, what would your top two or three priorities be as a County Board Nicolas member? After speaking to many people throughout my district, a very small percentage knew of our current representative or of some of the issues facing our Jimenez county. My goal, if elected, is to bring people together and get people involved in D-Elburn the decision-making process.

Coroner rivals dispute death investigation qualifications Russell says Martinez has never performed a death investigation, while Martinez refutes claims

By BRENDA SCHORY

bschory@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Coroner candidate rivals incumbent Rob Russell and Democratic challenger Tao Martinez escalated their differences at a candidates forum over performing death investigations.

The audience question – how many death investigations each candidate had been involved in – was posed at a candidate forum Oct. 12 hosted by the League of Women Voters of Central Kane County at the Kane County Branch Court in St. Charles. The two had clashed the previous week at a forum in Elgin.

“I am the only candidate here for coroner who has performed a death investigation,” Russell, of South Elgin, said. “Prior to becoming a coroner, I also performed some death investigations as a DuPage County [sheriff’s] deputy. So directly – hundreds. Hundreds.”

But Martinez, of Aurora, said he could not answer the question because of a confidentiality agreement

with the Kendall County Coroner’s Office, where he said he is a deputy coroner.

“I would like to answer that question,” Martinez said. “I do have a signed agreement for confidentiality with [the] Kendall County Coroner’s Office, so anything in relation to how many times I’ve been out, how many cases have I handled – it would be something that would have to be directed to them. … I am experienced in this line of work.”

Later, Martinez pointed himself out in a newspaper photograph of a crash scene in Montgomery as proof that he has responded to death scenes in his capacity as a deputy coroner in Kendall County.

His election website, www.martinez4coroner.com, also states he is a deputy coroner.

But a Freedom of Information Act response from the Kendall County Coroner’s Office stated that there are no records showing any death investigations were assigned to Martinez; that there are no records or reports prepared or authored by Martinez; and no records showing any hours he worked as a deputy coroner.

In fact, Martinez is one of several reserve deputy coroners – unpaid volunteers – who can be called out in the case of a mass casualty situation, ac-

cording to the response to the FOIA request.

Attorney Kenneth Shepro, chairman of the St. Charles Township GOP, filed the request and released it and the response to the Kane County Chronicle.

Records show the duties of Kendall County’s reserve deputies are to aid and assist deputy coroners in death investigations, and that after training, they “are utilized in the event of a mass fatality incident … [and] can entail response to the scene of death, collection of evidence and personal property for safekeeping, and analysis and interviewing subjects.”

Reserve deputies must undergo a criminal background check, complete an oral board interview and “have experience in performing investigations and crime scene processing,” records show.

Martinez owns a biohazard removal firm called Archangels Biorecovery Inc., which cleans up after deaths, suicides and industrial accidents.

Reserve deputies also are eligible to participate in regular ride-alongs with the coroner or one of the five paid deputy coroners, records show.

But other documents do not identify Martinez as a reserve deputy.

Martinez’s oath of office, dated July 17, 2013, states he was appointed “to the

office of deputy coroner.” And his official identification with his photo also states he is a deputy coroner, records show.

Records released by the Kendall coroner also show Martinez attended a lead homicide investigator course offered by North East Multi-Regional Training Inc. in November 2015. He also attended the 20th annual Medicolegal Death Investigation Conference in August 2013.

Martinez acknowledged that he is an unpaid volunteer as a reserve deputy coroner in Kendall County – but insisted that it does not matter.

“I am legitimately a deputy coroner, whether you want to call me ‘reserve,’” Martinez said. “[Russell] cannot legitimately dispute that I am a deputy coroner, trained in many more things than he is trained in. … I am a deputy coroner, no matter how you want to see it.”

Russell maintained that Martinez has never performed a death investigation.

“He may have been at death scenes.

He may even have assisted in moving bodies – but that is not what a death investigation is,” Russell said. “A death investigation is contacting the family and determining the cause and manner of death. Moving a body is not a death investigation.”

Now that “the future” has arrived, she has definitely made her own impact at GHS. Emma has been actively involved in cross country and track and field for all four years and has excelled at both sports, being one of the fastest in school history. Along with her athletic successes, she is also equally talented musically. She plays the piano, cello, bass and percussion in the marching band. Emma’s academic interest lies in medical sciences. In this day and age of self-serving students and athletes, Emma is a breath of fresh air, as she does what she can for the benefit of the team, band and community.

All of that would be impressive enough, but Grace has also learned some tough lessons with perseverance. For two years in a row, she didn’t make the top audition music group. She could have given up and moved on, but – instead – she tried one more time and was selected to be a drum major for the marching band. This proven leader is a true, positive role model in every sense of the word.

Frasz, Jimenez vie in D-18

By BRENDA SCHORY

bschory@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Kane County Board District 18 candidates talked about how they would keep taxes low, support mental health programs and stay in touch with voters.

Speaking at a candidate forum Oct. 12, incumbent Drew Frasz, R-Elburn, and Democratic challenger Nicholas Jimenez, also of Elburn, each made the case for being the voters’ choice in the Nov. 8 general election. Frasz is seeking a third term.

The League of Women Voters of Central Kane County hosted the event at the Kane Coun- Drew ty Branch Court in St. Frasz Charles, where about 40 people attended. Batavia Access Television is providing video of the forum online at mybatv.com.

Frasz, who serves as vice chairman of the County Board, said his district – which encompasses Elburn, Maple Park, Kaneville and the Mill Creek subdivision near Geneva – is one of the busiest districts in the county.

“From 2000 to 2007, I got involved with a community group in a large development issue, the Settlements of LaFox, and in doing such, appeared before 31 public bodies in reaching a successful conclusion,” Frasz said.

Jimenez said he was running because “local government is about bringing people together and getting people involved.” He works as a quality assurance specialist for a cheese company.

Frasz owns an excavating company in Elburn, A.E. Frasz Inc. Both candidates said they supported continuing crisis intervention training for police officers when they respond to people with mental health issues, as well as a program to provide treatment to people with mental illness, so they stay out of jail.

“A lot of people who get into that [drug use] need another option than to be thrown in jail [where] … you very well could come out of there worse than you went in,” Frasz said. “The other economic part of it is, it’s very expensive to run that jail. It’s a 24/7 operation … so if we can find alternatives … it’s a very good savings to the county if we can keep our population reduced.”

Jimenez said the county has to do a better job of treating people who suffer from mental illness, rather than put them in jail.

“I support going in the direction of providing treatment than sending them to jail,” Jimenez said. “It would further provide help to anyone suffering from mental illness.”

Both candidates said they also support expansion of the Kane County Drug

Court and the Treatment Alternative Court. The drug court helps offenders get addiction treatment to stay out of jail and helps people with mental illness to receive counseling and treatment instead of jail.

In terms of taxes, both candidates said they supported keeping property taxes down.

“The biggest job we have every year is our budget,” Frasz said. “It’s always a challenge to provide services, keep quality employees at a reasonable level of pay and also be responsible and responsive to the taxpayers.”

Jimenez said 90 percent of the people he talked to while campaigning Nicolas said they were concerned Jimenez about their property taxes.

Kane County ranks 27th among counties that pay the highest property taxes, Jimenez said.

“That puts us in the top 1 percent of property taxes,” Jimenez said. “Keeping taxes low is a very important goal for us.”

Jimenez and Frasz both said they would work to maintain communication with their constituents.

“I publish my home phone number and my cell numbers and answer my cell 24/7. … I attend township meetings and Elburn Village Board meetings and the Mill Creek Special Service Area board meetings,” Frasz said.

Jimenez advocated not waiting for people to contact him, but to reach out to them.

“In order to actually see what people are feeling, you have to go out and talk with people,” Jimenez said. “You have to reach out to them.”

As to why people should re-elect him, Frasz said he has an eight-year unblemished record of accomplishments for his district and one of the highest meeting attendance records.

“I differ with him greatly,” Frasz said of Jimenez. “He is supported by unions and is a supporter of unions. I have not taken any union money, and I don’t believe that it’s a proper thing to do when you’re on the board. And I have been a big fighter to help repeal the prevailing wage act because it adds 15 percent to 20 percent on all of our county projects. … I am in this for all the right reasons – and my record bears that out.”

Jimenez countered that he did not see the point of bragging about doing what Frasz was expected to do by attending meetings as an elected official.

“I can’t brag about doing what is expected of me – that is what I am meant to do,” Jimenez said. “It’s about going above and beyond the call of duty. And I think as a representative, that is what you have to do.”

KOVELS:

ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING FOR RELEASE SUNDAY, OCT. 23, 2016

BY TERRY AND KIM KOVEL

Halloweeniana is now one of the major holiday collecting categories, second only to Christmas. Jack-o’-lanterns, figural candy containers of papier-mache, and crepe paper black cats and skeletons are the oldest. Scarecrows, witches, bats, spiders, spider webs, trick-or-treat bags and zombies are more recent and easier to find. An old orange paper dress with black cats and political symbols from a 1980s presidential election year is one of the more unusual collectibles. Another is a 15-year-old dangling rhinestone skeleton pin to wear to parties. A rare vintage Halloween clockwork figure sold for $4,575 at a Morphy auction in July 2016.

The16-inch-high black cat made of clothcovered papier-mache is holding a jack-o’-lantern. Its head nods and its eyes move from side to side. Look for bargain Halloween decorations at house sales and flea markets, and vintage rarities at auctions and shops. Save some of this year’s unusual items. *** Q: I have my grandfather’s black hat.

The name in the hat is “Sheldon & Co., London.” It was in a hat box that says “Mallory Hats, Fifth Ave., New York, N.Y.” I think he had the hat when he was a member of the Shriners. Can you give me any information?

A: Both Sheldon & Co. and Mallory were hat makers listed in the 1908 “American Hatter.” G.W. Sheldon & Co. was a maker of felt in 1823. It was the first hat maker in the U.S. and was one of the largest by the early 1900s. The name became E.A. Mallory & Sons after his son joined the firm. It became a division of the John B. Stetson Hat Co. in 1946. Production of Mallory hats ceased by 1965. Maybe Mallory sold hats by other makers, or maybe the hat was put

in the wrong box by the owner. Vintage top hats in great shape sell for about $100.

Twentieth-century hat boxes with good names or graphics are $50 to $75 retail. *** Q: I have a vintage toilet tissue roll, Waldorf brand, in its original wrapping paper, in excellent condition. It was put in storage along with the whole household in 1943 when the family moved out of state.

I purchased the estate many years ago. I gave one to our local historical society to be displayed in the museum. Does it have much value?

A: Toilet tissue was first made in China for the Emperor’s use in the 1391. It was first made in the United States in 1857 and sold in packs of single sheets. The first toilet paper rolls were made by Scott Paper Co. in 1890. Waldorf toilet tissue was made in 1902 for the Waldorf Hotel. It was the world’s best-selling brand in the early 1900s. Scott continued to produce Waldorf toilet paper for several years. We found it pictured in a 1930s ad. Scott Paper Co. was bought by Kimberly-Clark in 1995.

The value of a vintage roll of Waldorf toilet tissue, about $35-$40. *** Q: I have been collecting bookmarks since I was in high school. I have some from the Australian Olympics, picture bookmarks of woven ribbon from the 1890s, and 50 or more that are wood, plastic, metal, knit, silver, ivory, celluloid, magnetized, gripping, clip on, advertising etc. With e-books on the rise, I am afraid bookmark collecting will disappear. What do you think?

A: Bookmarks are flat, lightweight, easy to pack and ship and inexpensive.

They are also little pieces of history and handcraft. Although there is little written about them, collectors like them. Many from the 1800s are still available and the size and price make them easy to sell online. Many groups interested in bookmarks are online and so are listings for bookmark sales. There are plenty to be found for your collection and they can be framed in groups to make interesting pictures on a wall. *** Q: My inherited plate has a picture of Robinson Crusoe sitting in a chair with a dog and cat nearby. He’s holding a parrot.

It reads “Crusoe and his pets” underneath the picture, and the letters of the alphabet are around the rim. It’s marked “B.P. Co.” on the back. What can you tell me about this plate?

A: Plates like yours with a central picture surrounded by the alphabet are called ABC plates. They were used during Victorian times to teach children the alphabet while they were eating. Now they are popular collectors’ items. ABC plates have been made in porcelain, glass and metal.

Your plate is part of a series of Robinson Crusoe plates made by Brownhills Pottery Co. It was in business in Tunstall, Staffordshire, England, from 1872 to 1896. Plates from this popular series sell for $50 to $150 each. *** Q: I would like to know the worth of a McCoy planter I have. It’s a spinning wheel with a cat sitting on a locked box which has the letters “R S” on it. The planter is 6 1/2 high and 7 inches wide and has two holes for plants. It’s orange in color.

A: McCoy pottery was made in Roseville, Ohio, from the early 1900s until 1990.

Spinning wheel planters were first made in 1953. The complete planter has a dog, standing on his hind legs and straining at his leash to get at the cat. The dog’s leash is fastened to a loophole near the left side of the planter. We’ve seen a version with a black Scottie dog and white cat, but usually the dog is white with a brown spot on his back and the cat is the same orangebrown color as the spinning wheel. Your planter seems to be missing the dog and leash, so the value is less than $20. *** Tip: Don’t store costume jewelry in the bathroom. The moisture will damage the

plating. Keep jewelry in another room in heart cutouts, crank, wood handle, Curtis cloth bags or a plastic bag with a piece of Goddard, 1877, 9 inches, $995. cloth.

36 COMMUNITY CORNER / CHICAGO STEEL

Chicago Steel stars work toward big-league dreams

With hockey season in full swing, all eyes are on the Chicago Blackhawks. As spectators, we may take a second to fantasize about what it would be like to be one of these skating heroes, only to quickly jump back into reality.

However, young athletes from around the country – and the world – are working in Geneva toward a dream they know is more than just a childhood fantasy. The reality of making it big for these 16- to 20-yearolds is likely only a matter of time as they practice and play with the Chicago Steel in the nation’s top tier junior hockey league, the U.S. Hockey League – or USHL. The journey to the pros for these young athletes takes more than just sacrificing free time to be on the ice.

Most have moved away from family and friends, and have made themselves at home with local host families in the Fox Valley area. They’re also new students in local high schools and community colleges.

Know more The Chicago Steel play at the Fox Valley Ice Arena, 1996 S. Kirk Road, Geneva. Tickets start at $10. Upcoming home games are Oct. 28 vs. Cedar Rapids and Nov. 4 vs. Des Moines. Visit ChicagoSteelHockeyTeam.com for more information.

Hockey, for many reasons, is unlike many other professional sports.

There’s a stress on college experience. Hockey has a NCAA graduation rate of 92.1 percent. The USHL has built the importance of education into its culture, which has resulted in 95 percent of its athletes going straight to college and only 5 percent going straight to the National Hockey League – or NHL. Twenty-one players on the 24-man Chicago Steel roster already have college commitments, including four players headed to Ivy League schools.

Jaw dropping Facts about Halloween SPONSORED BY

By Dr. Murphy Who does not love going trick or treating, seeing all the children dressed up in costumes? But did you know that in the United States seven billion pounds of candy is consumed? That is enough candy to fill 60 USS Iowa Battleships, and roughly half of it is chocolate.

Hare some tips to enjoy Halloween and help prevent bad reports from your dentist.

According to Mouth Healthy published by the ADA: • Time is right – eat Halloween candy with meals or shortly after them • Choose candy carefully – avoid hard candy and candy that stays in your mouth a long time

• Avoid sticky candy – sticky candy, well, sticks to your teeth and holds the sugars and acid on them which can cause tooth decay • Drink more water – this will help wash the sugar out of your mouth • Brush and floss twice a da • Visit your dentist on a regular basis Give your dentist a call, or contact Dr. Murphy for an appointment at 630-879-7642.

For the month of October, a pink Mendel Plumbing and Heating truck will be driving around the streets of St. Charles, promoting cancer awareness.

Mendel Plumbing and Heating again giving back to community

By VIOLET MARQUARDT editorial@kcchronicle.com

Since its inception, Mendel Plumbing and Heating has made valiant efforts to become a vital part of the St. Charles community. According to employee Thomas Mascari, working with – and for – the community is just part of Mendel Plumbing and Heating’s mission.

“We’ve been a part of the community for years, and it’s important for us to participate in the community. We sponsor a lot of sports teams, school teams, things of that nature. It’s always been a part of our culture to support the community,” Mascari said.

Beyond sponsorships, Mendel Plumbing and Heating has worked in conjunction with various philanthropic efforts throughout the community.

Whether it is sponsoring an event or donating money, Mike Mendel, owner of Mendel Plumbing and Heating, makes sure to always give back to the community that supports his business.

“We participate in a lot of fundraisers, like we just helped with one for a Lyme disease awareness effort. We’ll contribute to a lot of those kinds of things,” Mascari said. “A few years ago, LivingWell Cancer Resource Center was selling raffle tickets and Mike bought some. One of the prizes was $25,000 and Mike wrote on his raffle tickets, ‘If won, donate back.’ Of course, he ended up winning, and the $25,000 was donated back to LivingWell.”

Now, Mendel Plumbing and Heating is working on its own fundraiser for the community. For the month of October, a pink truck will be driving around the streets of St. Charles, promoting cancer awareness. On the truck

is the phrase “Help Us Donate $10,000 With 10,000 Likes.”

The fundraiser is quite simple – once Mendel Plumbing and Heating gets an additional 10,000 “likes” on its Facebook page, it will donate $10,000 to LivingWell Cancer Resource Center in Geneva.

LivingWell works to foster a comfortable community for anyone facing cancer, or their loved ones.

“Cancer affects so many of our lives, so we thought we would try to do something this year to contribute to that,” Mascari said. “We started it for the month of October, October being breast cancer awareness month. We’re converting likes to a dollar donation.”

So far, within the first week of the campaign, Mendel Plumbing and Heating has garnered an additional 2,500 likes. Mascari said the campaign will run until the end of the month, and he hopes that the full 10,000 likes can be achieved by then.

“The feedback has been very positive so far. Lots of people have been very complimentary about the idea and the involvement and trying to raise awareness for the disease and its effect on people,” Mascari said.

According to Mascari, this is the first time Mendel Plumbing and Heating has done a fundraiser of this magnitude.

With the help of the community, Mascari hopes it will not be the last.

“This is the first time we’ve ever done something like this. We participate a lot in community events, and we’ll contribute a lot to those kinds of things, but for the first time we decided, ‘Lets engage the community and see if we can get the community to help us,’” Mascari said.

LETTERS Think about the Supreme picture

It’s that time of year again – leaves are falling, winds are blowing, and there’s a special autumnal feeling in the air. Plump orange pumpkins adorn porches, cheerful scarecrows smile from storefronts, and every tree bears a rainbow of color.

Pumpkin-spice lattes and comfy Ugg boots are back in season, and people are ready to make the transition from sweaty weather to sweater weather. It’s fall, one of my favorite seasons, and I’m so excited for everything that comes with the dropping temperatures.

Of course, one of the pinnacles of fall is Halloween, a day traditionally celebrated by children, but enjoyed by all ages. I have fond memories of going door to door through my neighborhood on Halloween, dressed in whatever costume had caught my attention that year and receiving candy and compliments from my neighbors.

I remember feeling particularly punny one year and going trick-or-treating as “sheet music”– I wrapped myself in a bedsheet bearing music notes

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

THE WRITE PLACE Emma Chrusciel drawn in Sharpie. A few years before, my three sisters and I had dressed according to a candy theme; I was a box of Junior Mints, and my siblings were an M&M, candy corn and a Hershey Kiss. Needless to say, we received a lot of sweet treats that year!

Fall fun isn’t just limited to Oct. 31. In my opinion, the weather in September and October is perfect for being outside, especially when it’s that “just right” temperature with a slight breeze. Whether jumping into piles of leaves with my sisters (which I’ll admit to doing from time to time) or even just playing a game outside for PE class, I love being outside to see leaves changing colors along with the changing temperature. The scenery is simply beautiful this time of year, and I want to enjoy it as much as I can before the snow arrives.

Of course, we can’t forget one of the most important

aspects of fall – the food! As soon as it starts getting colder outside, I love ordering my favorite fall drink, a Starbucks salted-caramel mocha. When I’m craving something fruitier, I usually go for a warm cup of apple cider or even a freshpicked apple from a nearby orchard (by the way, the apple cider slushies at Jonamac Orchard are absolutely delicious!)

And, of course, pumpkin pie – really, anything pumpkin flavored – is the perfect way to get my palate in the mood for fall.

Whether you like to enjoy these months by celebrating Halloween, being outside, or eating autumnal foods, I think this season truly has something for everyone, and I can’t wait to see the rest of it unfold.

Before you know it, winter will be upon us, so make the most of fall fun, festivities and food while you can!

One of the most frustrating experiences during the time I worked for you in the Illinois State Senate was losing battles in Appropriations Committee and on the Senate floor against siphoning hundreds of millions of gas tax dollars year after year to non-transportation uses that several governors euphemistically called “diversions.”

Ultimately, there are only two choices to fix our state’s crumbling infrastructure.

Either we adopt massive tax increases (which I oppose) that ignore the root cause of the problem of diversions or we can protect the funds that have already been collected by demanding that our legislators and governors allocate these funds to their originally-intended purpose.

The “Safe Roads” amendment takes the latter approach; that’s why I encourage you to vote yes on Nov. 8.

To the editor: If you would like to reassert your authority as “we the people” over just one important area of government spending, please vote yes for the “Safe Roads” constitutional amendment on the Nov. 8 ballot.

If we pay a tax to the state for a specific purpose, like a gas tax for transportation infrastructure in this instance, then we should require that the money be spent on that purpose. Pretty straight-forward common sense.

If we could trust that Illinois state government would keep the implicit promise of collecting gas taxes for transportation infrastructure, this measure would not be necessary. Unfortunately, distrust in government is at an all-time high, with plenty of examples to support it.

INSTANT CLASSIC Late score lifts St. Charles North against Batavia in battle of playoff-bound teams / 39

Sean King - For Shaw Media

St. Charles North wide receiver Griffin Hammer reaches for a pass Oct. 21 in a game against Batavia. The North Stars scored late to secure a 42-35 win as they head into the postseason with an 8-1 record.

North building a 21-point advantage in the third quarter.

Cooper was intercepted by Chris Edlund on Batavia’s first drive. The North Stars followed with Lins’ second touchdown run of the game, this one from 18 yards out.

The Bulldogs wouldn’t go away, however.

A Dana Anderson touchdown run was followed by a 14-yard connection between Weerts and tight end Jake Robinson, who also had a forced fumble after a sack of Mettetal late in the first half.

“Those guys just keep fighting and fighting and you feel like no lead is safe,” Pomazak said of Batavia. “We talked about keeping a level head through adversity and focusing in on the moment.

It was definitely hard when [Batavia] had the momentum late, but for us to get over the hump like this is a really big win for our program.”

Niemiec’s play to tie the game, which was overshadowed by Mettetal’s late heroics, came after he was unblocked and appeared to grab the ball off the foot of Lins, North’s punter. Niemiec carried it 15 yards for a score.

Batavia’s struggles in passing the ball became more and more evident late as Cooper and Weerts combined to go just 4 of 12 for 49 yards and two

interceptions, the latter of which landed in the arms of Tyler Nubin to end any comeback hopes for Batavia in the final minute.

The Bulldogs got strong games on the ground from Reggie Phillips (25 carries, 156 yards) and Anderson (13 carries, 97 yards), who each found the end zone.

Lins finished with a game-high 217 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries for North.

Pomazak and Batavia coach Dennis Piron shared friendly handshakes both at the end of the game and again before walking off the field. Both knew the quality of the contest was a positive for their respective programs.

“Being in that type of game where you’re not just physically tested but also mentally tested is huge,” Pomazak said. “There’s certainly room to get better from here because there’s things that happened where if they don’t happen we don’t put ourselves in situations like tonight.”

“We gave ourselves a shot,” Piron said. “I’m extremely proud of the effort, the fight to not give up and come back in the game like this. It’s tough to come out on the losing end of it, but it was a really good football game between two good football teams that are heading to the playoffs.”

BATAVIA – Zach Mettetal had seen this before.

His team allowed Batavia to come back from a 21-point, second-half deficit to tie the game, but he wasn’t going to allow St. Charles North to lose this one.

The senior quarterback led his teammates onto the field with just over two minutes in go in the game. For as much talk as his defense had gotten until this point in the season, it was Mettetal’s turn.

Mettetal’s 29-yard keeper with 1:11 to go proved to be the game-winning touchdown in a 42-35 North Stars victory Oct. 21 in Upstate Eight River play.

After Batavia’s Michael Niemiec blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown (along with a two-point conversion pass from Riley Cooper to Glenn Albanese) to cap 21 unanswered points for the Bulldogs, Mettetal led the North Stars 93 yards in six plays that spanned just 1:23.

“We learned a valuable lesson,” Mettetal said of a 28-21 loss to St. Charles East on Sept. 16 in which the North Stars led 14-0 early. “We knew we had to respond to adversity, especially against a really good team.

That’s what we did and it’s only going to help us moving on into the playoffs.”

The win was the first for North coach Rob Pomazak against Batavia. Pomazak is in his third year at the helm of the program. More importantly, the North Stars (8-1, 5-1 UER) finish the season with just one loss and improved their seeding in the Class 7A playoffs.

Early on, it looked as though North, which finished the regular season allowing just 78 total points, was going to come into Batavia and blow the Bulldogs off their home field.

Three touchdown passes from Mettetal to Griffin Hammer in the first quarter, followed by an 80-yard score from running back Eric Lins on the first play of the second quarter gave the North Stars a 28-7 edge. Mettetal finished with 202 passing yards, 56 rushing yards and four touchdowns.

“It’s a huge win for us,” said Hammer, a Colorado State commit who finished with a season-high 107 receiving yards on six catches. “We pick each other up when someone is down. Tonight the offense had to pick the defense up and that’s what good teams do this time of year. We have to keep our foot on the gas and not let up from here. There’s a lot of room for improvement, but this is definitely a big win for us.”

Batavia (7-2, 4-2) crept closer before halftime on a 1-yard score from quarterback Ben Weerts, but a miscue by the Bulldogs’ other quarterback led to

Saints take first regional title since 2013

By CHRIS CASEY

editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – Taking advantage of set-piece opportunities can be the difference in any soccer game, let alone a postseason matchup.

St. Charles East hosted West Chicago – the third meeting in 14 days between the two – in the Class 3A St. Charles East regional championship game Oct. 22, having won the previous two meetings.

The third time was no different as Truitt Battin and Mitch Lucatorto both scored off set pieces to give the Saints a 2-0 victory and their first regional title since 2013.

Battin, a sophomore, scored in just the 12th minute after he found a deflection loose in the box.

The Saints knew it wouldn’t be easy to beat a team three times in one season, let alone three times in a two-week span.

“We talked before the game and knew [West Chicago] was going to be a very different team in the playoffs,” East coach Paul Jennison said. “But much the same can be said about us.

We’re a different team than we were a couple of weeks ago. They have rallied around each other, and could things have been a little better today? Sure.

But bottom line is we got it done.”

East (17-3-2) almost doubled its lead when Aldo Bautista’s free kick with a minute to go before the break was denied after a leaping save by goalkeeper Ricoardo Porcayo.

Jennison said the team has some extra incentive of making a deep playoff run for teammate and senior captain Chris Edgerton, who underwent a heart procedure two days before the game.

Stepping in and wearing the captain’s band in Edgerton’s absence was Lucatorto, who doubled the Saints’ lead after a controversial collision between East goalkeeper Steven Owens and a West Chicago forward that went in the Saints’ favor of not being called a penalty kick.

A few minutes later, a free kick off the foot of Keiran Willig-Friedrich found the head of the 6-foot-4 Lucatorto for the Saints’ second goal.

“Set pieces can win games this time of the year,” Lucatorto said. “We worked on that quite a bit [in practice leading up to the game] and the fact that we scored on two of them to win is very rewarding.”

Not having many decisions go his team’s way in the regular season, West Chicago coach Jason Villa knew a game against a strong opponent in East wasn’t going to yield too many opportunities. He also knew the Saints

“Good teams like [East] make you pay,” said Villa, whose team finished 8-10-4 on the year. “We didn’t get that call at our end and they get a call and score off of it. They are a very good team. It’s disappointing, but I felt we played well and got beaten by a very good team that I wish all the best to moving forward.”

With the win, the Saints advanced to the Glenbard East sectional semifinals Oct. 25, where they were scheduled to play against Addison Trail for the right to move on to the sectional final Oct. 28.

Though Jennison and the Saints did not face Addison Trail in the regular season, he was preparing for a test in that match.

“A quality opponent, no doubt,” Jennison said of Addison Trail, who he said he has seen play a couple of times this season. “We’re definitely going to have to come ready to play, but I expect this group will be focused and ready to go.”

In a 63-14 rout against Streamwood, the Saints captured their first outright Upstate Eight River title and capped the regular season with a 9-0 record.

The Saints (6-0 in UER play) also set new high and low marks for points scored (374) and fewest points allowed (105) in a nine-game season.

a shot from about 25 yards away that was deflected by Glenbard North keeper Martin Lopez, setting up the corner kick.

Jonathan Acevedo took it, Ryan Olson played the role of deceiver, and Gorniak played the finisher as his shot from the right corner was buried deep inside the net, just inside the right post.

“We work on that all the time in practice, telling our players to go to the back post to divert them,” Gorniak said. “It got played right through Olson’s legs, and I just banged it home.”

The North Stars (15-3-3) jumped ahead 1-0 midway through the first half when Ol-

son took a pass from Acevedo and sneaked a shot just inside the left post with 22:40 remaining before the break.

A defense on a mission in front of goalkeeper Piercarlo Ricossa frustrated the Panthers most of the afternoon, but they showed they were human early in the second half when Danny Koeller buried a free kick from close to 30 yards out to tie the game.

The North Stars never appeared to panic, despite the game staying locked at 1-1 until Gorniak delivered late.

“Personally we thought we had the better run of play,” Olson said, “We just thought keep calm, keep playing our game, try to get forward a little more, and it’ll come. And as you saw later, it did come.”

The regional title sent the North Stars, the No. 1 sectional seed, on to the Glenbard East sectional, where they were set to play Conant in a sectional semifinal Oct. 25 in a rematch of the game the Cougars won 1-0 in August.

CAROL STREAM – It’s been quite a season for St. Charles North’s boys soccer team.

It got even better late in the afternoon Oct. 22.

For the first time in five years, the North Stars won a regional title, scoring a goal late in the second half to upend host Glenbard North 2-1 in the Class 3A Glenbard North regional championship game.

“It’s a really good feeling to finally get some hardware,” North Stars coach Eric Willson said. “These boys deserved it. They’ve had a season that is worthy of a regional title.”

It was the seventh regional title in the school’s history and it became a reality after David Gorniak scored off a corner kick with just under 11 minutes remaining.

If anyone was as deserving as Gorniak to deliver the game-winner, good luck in making that argument. Gorniak was the one who sent a bullet of

“These boys deserved it.

They’ve had a season that is worthy of a regional title.”

KANE COUNTY PREPS Steel’s Walker earns USHL ATHLETE OF THE WEEK honor; Cougars split pair HOCKEY ROUNDUP

ZACH METTETAL

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE

St. Charles North Senior | Football Why Mettetal was selected: Mettetal threw three TDs and ran for the game-winning TD with 1:11 remaining to give the North Stars a 42-35 victory at Batavia on Oct. 21.

St. Charles North senior quarterback Zach Mettetal picked a good time to have one of his better games of the season. He threw three TD passes, all in the first quarter to fellow senior Griffin Hammer, and took a quarterback read play 29 yards to the end zone to put the North Stars ahead late in the game. Mettetal, the St. Charles Bank & Trust Athlete of the Week, spoke with Kane County Chronicle correspondent Chris Casey to discuss the game and postseason ahead.

has been allowing just 43 points all season before that game, were you surprised it came down to the offense needing to make a play?

Mettetal: Not really, no. I had a feeling it might in a game like that. I told the guys on that last drive to just relax and let’s do our thing.

Casey: What does this win do for you guys with a Class 7A first-round playoff matchup against Carmel coming Casey: Was that Batavia game one of up on Oct. 29? the most fun games you have played in? Mettetal: I like that we had a game like this before the playoffs. Sometimes if you Mettetal: That’s what football is all don’t play a good team in the last week, about, honestly. I would say, win or lose, you can go into the playoffs flat. But these games are always fun, but it was definitely nice to come out of it with a win. coming off a win like this, there’s a lot of energy and it’s a really big confidence boost for our guys.

Casey: For as tough as the defense

The United States Hockey League announced on Oct. 24 that Chicago Steel right wing Johnny Walker was named CCM/USHL Forward of the Week for Week 5 for the period ending Oct. 23.

Walker’s current six-game goal-scoring streak is the longest in the USHL this season. The Phoenix native tallied four points (three goals, assist) in Chicago’s three Week 5 victories, helping the Steel continue their best start in team history – 9-00-0 (18 points). Walker has seven goals and two assists on the season.

Steel players have achieved weekly awards from the USHL in four of the first five weeks, including Ales Stezka, who was named CCM/USHL Goaltender of the Week for Week 4. He also was Goaltender of the Week for Week 1, and Adam Karashik earned Defenseman of the Week honors in Week 2.

Up next for the Steel is a home game against the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders at 7:05 p.m. Oct. 28 at Fox Valley Ice Arena.

against the Dells Ducks on Oct. 22 and 23. The Ducks had won both previous games earlier this season.

After a scoreless first period Oct. 22, the Ducks went ahead early in the second only to see Chicago’s Zeb Scheffler level the score later in the frame.

Cougars forward Andrew Van Dyke scored off a rebound late in the second for a 2-1 lead.

In the third, Chicago goalie Alex Jones turned away several quality Dells chances before Brennen Gestrich scored to cap a 3-1 Chicago win.

In the Oct. 23 game, Jones did his best to keep the Cougars within striking distance. The Ducks outshot Chicago through two periods but had just a 2-0 lead to show for it. Michael Helf brought Chicago to within 2-1 in the third, but the Ducks added an empty-net goal to seal a 3-1 win.

Smooth out these wrinkles in your drying routine

By JURA KONCIUS

See more online

The Washington Post Today’s dryers are loaded with sophisticated features such as moisture sensors, wrinkle shields and steam cycles. But many consumers are making very basic mistakes that affect how they work.

So start by reading your appliance user manual. Don’t just plug in your dryer and start using it, said Chris Granger, vice president of Sears Home Services. There are many features and settings to help you dry your pants and shirts without shrinking or fading them and to have them come out virtually wrinkle-free.

Check the fabric care labels on your clothes, said Corinne Gorenchan, Whirlpool’s product development manager for fabric care. They will tell you whether the garment can be machine-dried and at what temperature.

Although you might see college students cramming as many clothes as they can into a dryer and slamming the door shut, the pros say you really shouldn’t fill it more than halfway full.

Otherwise, your clothes won’t be able to move around, will take a really long time to dry and will come out wrinkled.

Learn eight ways to up your laundry game at http://wapo.st/2aQFbGl.

Granger said. A black cotton T-shirt may shrink and fade if you choose high heat; it’s better to dry things like that at cooler temperatures, so always check the label.

Giving dryer lint brush the brushoff

We spoke to Granger and Gorenchan about what other mistakes people might be making when it comes to dryers. Several of their suggestions address the need to monitor that pesky dryer byproduct: lint.

Not preparing clothes for drying

Check pockets and remove everything. Pens, crayons and lip balms could melt or leak all over your clothes. Paper clips or other metal objects might cause damage to the inside of the dryer. Zip up any zippers.

The teeth on an open zipper can snag clothes, Gorenchan said.

Neglecting to sort

Don’t just jam several wash loads together in the dryer. Sorting is as important in drying as it is in washing. Don’t dry sweaters or lingerie with rough fabrics such as jeans, as the rubbing could cause pilling,

Don’t know what a dryer lint brush is? Shame on you. Of course, you should all be cleaning your lint traps between each and every dryer use. (It’s as important as brushing your teeth.) But periodically, it is recommended that you use a lint brush to dislodge and remove lint that the screen may not have captured.

Remove the lint trap and use a long, thin flexible brush to dislodge stray lint, and follow up with a vacuuming, Granger said. You can find a dryer lint brush for less than $10 at Sears.

Not paying attention to vent pipe

Monitor your dryer vent pipe for accumulation of lint. Buildup will affect airflow and prevent your dryer from operating at maximum efficiency and may create a risk for dryer fires.

Granger recommends having pipes cleaned every six to 12 months, depending on how frequently you use the dryer. You can hire a professional or

do it yourself using a vacuum. Ideally, your dryer vent tubing should be made of a solid material, such as sheet metal, with a short distance between the dryer and the exit wall. Flexible accordion piping can accumulate lint more rapidly and is more difficult to clean.

Not cleaning lint screen and moisture sensors

The frequent use of dryer sheets can cause a chemical coating to build up on your lint screen and on moisture sensors in the dryer drum. Wipe down the sensors, the two metal bar strips inside the dryer drum, with a towel and a bit of mild soap. Granger said it’s important to regularly wash the lint screen under a faucet, scrubbing gently with a little mild dishwashing soap on a cloth or toothbrush.

Wipe and then air-dry before you reinstall it.

Ignoring area under, around dryer

Dryers pull air from the surrounding area. Keep the floor around a dryer clear and clean, Gorenchan said.

Regular dusting or vacuuming can get rid of clumps of lint that have ended up behind the dryer and also turn up long-lost socks.

Turn clutter into act of kindness

By NICOLE ANZIA

Special to The Washington Post This is an ideal time to get your home organized. As you put away all of that summer gear and prepare for cooler weather, why not also commit to clearing out some of the things you no longer need or use? Here are five quick ways to clean out items right now and donate them to an organization that will actually use them.

• Luggage: Each person in your family needs one or two suitcases. If you have more than that, it’s time to purge. People seem to accumulate a luggage collection that far exceeds their needs, mostly because they don’t know what to do with the suitcases they no longer use and they feel uncomfortable throwing away something that is still useful.

However, there’s no point in storing bulky suitcases that you’re not using, especially when there are organizations that will gladly accept them for kids and families in need.

There are organizations in each state that collect donated suitcases for foster children, who often don’t have suitcases to pack their things in when

they transition between homes. To find a place to donate luggage near you, visit donateluggage.com. The website makes it easy to locate an organization in your state.

• Toiletries from hotels: We all have a drawer or bin full of hotel shampoos, conditioners, soaps and lotions.

We bring them home thinking we’ll definitely use them in our guest room or on a future trip, but somehow never remember to do so. If you’re not using them – and, let’s face it, you’re probably not going to – why not donate them to a local homeless or women’s shelter? You can find a shelter in your area by visiting homelessshelterdirectory.org or womenshelters.org. New and unopened bottles can also be sent to troops stationed abroad through an organization called Operation: Care and Comfort.

• Reusable bags: Reusable tote bags are such a good idea – until you’ve accumulated so many that you can’t actually use, or store, them all. As it turns out, reusable bags aren’t as environmentally friendly as many of us think, particularly because we don’t use them enough to make their production worth it. In fact,

The time is now to sell, buy a home in Kane County SPONSORED BY

Is now a good time to sell a home or buy a new one?

If you think this fall isn’t the time to do either, think again.

With cold weather and the holidays looming, autumn is typically considered off-season in real estate, as people tend to put off decisionmaking until the after the new year.

But there are actually several benefits to making a home purchase this fall in Kane County.

Currently, interest rates are aggressively low giving people more purchasing power to find their perfect home. With a predicted interest rate hike in the near future, those who choose to buy now can get more bang for their buck.

As rental prices continue to go up, mortgages can often be lower or even equal to rental payments, with the added bonus of a tax deduction.

Want to be in your new home before the holiday season? Now is a great time to move rather than fighting the winter’s expected drop in temperatures and heavy snow.

If you are thinking about making a change in the near future, good news for sellers and buyers: Kane County’s housing market continues to improve.

The inventory of homes and market time is down which is good for a seller, with possible less competition for someone looking to purchase in a specific area.

According to Midwest Real Estate data, the median home sales price was up 7.7 percent, and homes going under contract was up 7.5 percent in September vs. a year ago for Kane County.

For more information on buying or selling call Cathy Peters at RE/MAX All Pro: (630) 677-2406 or visit petersteam.com.

they’ve become so popular and so mass-produced that a recent article in the Atlantic pointed out, “Their abundance encourages consumers to see them as disposable, defeating their very purpose.” But instead of throwing away those totes you’re no longer using, donate them to local food pantries, farmers markets and homeless shelters, where they will be used and reused. Or, if you’re donating clothes or toys to a local organization, put your items in reusable bags so that they can be repurposed.

• Empty picture frames: We all seem to be framing fewer pictures, and yet picture frames seem to magically multiply. Sometimes they’re given to us as gifts, and other times we buy them because we intend to use them but then somehow never get around to it. Instead of keeping a collection of empty frames in a box in the basement, donate them to an organization that will give them to people who will use and enjoy them. Organizations that help people transition into homes, in particular, make good recipients of picture frames that are in like-new condition. Habitat for Humanity’s ReStores and Goodwill will accept

donations of picture frames.

• Glassware: I’ve noticed in my recent organizing jobs that many people own hundreds of glasses. Really. Tall water glasses, short water glasses, juice glasses, champagne flutes, red wine glasses, white wine glasses, bar glasses, martini glasses, margarita glasses. I could go on, but you get the idea. Most of us use the same six to eight glasses every day. Sure, you need to have enough for entertaining, but is it necessary to take up valuable kitchen cabinet storage with glassware you seldom use? Spend 30 minutes taking an honest accounting of all that glassware and see if you have at least a dozen items you could donate.

I bet you do, and I bet you won’t miss them when they’re gone.

Although it’s totally legitimate to try to expand the storage options in your home, sometimes a better option is to just reduce the amount of stuff you need to store. And repurposing items to help someone else makes it even more worthwhile.

10 decorating mistakes and how to avoid them

By BRENDA RICHARDSON

Special to The Washington Post After years of working with numerous clients, interior designers Michael Smith and Mary Cook have seen many of the same design mistakes over and over.

The Los Angeles-based Smith, who was appointed by the Obamas to redecorate the residential quarters of the White House, is the author of five decorating books, including his latest, “The Curated House.” Cook is president of Chicago-based Mary Cook Associates and author of “The Art of Space: The Seven Fundamentals That Guarantee Great Interior Design.”

The award-winning pros revealed decorating mistakes that drive them crazy and shared insider tips and tricks for creating a harmonious room design. In addition to the designers’ pet peeves, we’ve added a few of our own.

Mistake No. 1: Ignoring scale and proportion

Cook: Scale and proportion are the

holy grail of design. Scale is the size of things, and proportion is the relationship of those sizes to each other and the room as a whole. That is probably the biggest issue we end up fixing. The way American homes are built today, with open floor plans and volume ceilings, you have to integrate good scale and proportion into all the layers of your design. Starting with the backgrounds and ending with the last accessory. Americans get seduced by large, expansive spaces, but without good proportion in those spaces, they will lack harmony and impact. Managing volume space is intimidating and where I see people struggle the most.

Smith: This is a really, really terrible one. To have a 9-foot sofa in a small room can be kind of treacherous. Make sure furniture decor has similar scale.

It’s all about scale, proportion, measuring, being conscious of the overall plan. People buy things in isolation and don’t think of how they work together.

Design lighting in layers. Use dimmers whenever possible to set the stage for whatever mood you are in.

• DECORATING

Continued from page 53 Mistake No. 4: Using inadequate lighting

Cook: Lighting is a very key ingre-

dient. You have to think about the color of light, the quantity of light and where to place it. You have to think about light at various times of the day and various times of the year. The best way to design your lighting for success is in layers with as many of those layers as possible to be switched separately and on dimmers. So now you can adjust your lighting for whatever kind of mood you want.

We just designed and installed a model home for Toll Brothers called Trotters Glen in Olney, Md. The lighting is done in multiple layers with recessed cans in the ceiling on dimmers for overall general lighting, chandeliers and pendants to highlight a dining table or kitchen island, and table lamps to help light within seating groups.

In two-story foyers or staircases, we will often use clusters or groupings of fixtures together to add impact at the right scale. In the dining room,

we’ve integrated chandeliers or pairs of chandeliers to light the space and add decorative interest. Table lamps are next to the living room sofa or on a nightstand in the bedrooms.

Mistake No. 5: Buying poor-quality furniture

Smith: Avoid spending too much on one thing. Be judicious with your budget and buy things that are going to last. People buy very badly made furniture and fabric. Instead, buy a beautiful dining table, well-made upholstery. It’s almost like dressing for success.

Mistake No. 6: Not testing paint colors

changed/repainted the color in. It used to be hot pink and they repainted it this softer shade.”

Actually, she had walked through the room when it was just painted and none of the other layers were in. When she returned to the fully furnished room, she thought the color had changed. In fact, it was the impact of the color with and without the other layers that changed. Sometimes color comes off very strong at first, but once it’s all together, it’s perfect. So don’t panic at first.

Mistake No. 7: Placing all living room furniture against the walls

Move the furniture inward to create a warm, intimate seating arrangement for conversation. This is Smith: Avoid too much intense particularly important for entertaincolor.

scale-and-proportion checks on yourself as you compose your art and accessories. They are the final layer that will oftentimes be what brings your composition into perfect harmony.

Mistake No. 9: Overlooking the focal point in a room

A prominent item like a fireplace, artwork or mirror can serve as a eye-catching focal point for any space.

“With strong background design and interesting architectural elements contributing to the composition, your art and accessories won’t have to work too hard,” Cook points out in her book. “They can make the contribution they’re supposed to make and not have to carry too much of the overall design on their own.”

Mistake No. 10: Making everything matchy-matchy

It’s tempting to buy the coordinated, ready-made furnishings on the furniture showroom floor. Try mixing accessories with ready-made pieces from the store to add character to a room.

It takes time, sometimes years, to achieve a warm overall feel, but the result is a home that is as unique as the people living in it.

St. Charles resident Kathy Matthews to retire from Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra

By VIOLET MARQUARDT editorial@kcchronicle.com

ST. CHARLES – For Kathy Matthews of St. Charles, love and appreciation of music have always been a large part of her life. As a young girl, Matthews dreamed of taking piano lessons, but was never able to. From then on, she vowed to make music a part of her future children’s lives.

Matthew’s daughter, Sarah, began playing flute at the age of 4, and by age 6 was taking private lessons. Sarah continued to develop her skills, and, in her junior year of high school, auditioned for the Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra, and was offered a spot.

It prompted Matthews to begin working as a volunteer for the orchestra. And in 1999, Randal Swiggum, EYSO artistic director, offered her the position of managing the organization.

In that role, she oversees the program’s nine ensembles – managing publicity, development and staff operations. Matthews was influential in the Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra obtaining the Illinois Council of Orchestras’ 2001 Outstanding Marketing Program of the Year Award and subsequent honors, as well as arranging EYSO’s

After 17 years, Matthews will retire at the end of October and will be recognized at the orchestra’s Nov. 6 concert. She took time to chat more about her tenure at the orchestra with freelance writer Violet Marquardt.

The following is an edited version of their conversation.

Violet Marquardt: What motivated you

to begin working with EYSO? Kathy Matthews: I took my daughter, [Sarah], before her junior year of high school for an audition. I really wasn’t familiar with the group, but I saw an advertisement for them and thought she should try out. I volunteered while working as a substitute teacher, and then one day Randal Swiggum offered me the position of manager, although now it’s called executive director. I remember him saying to me, “This can be as little or as much as you want.”

Marquardt: How much time have you dedicated to the role over the years?

Matthews: It’s really a 24/7 job.

It’s interesting because we say that EYSO changes students’ lives, but it changes the adults’ lives, too. I’m going to miss that involvement.

Marquardt: What exactly did your position entail?

Matthews: I was in charge of all the operations, fundraising, marketing … now those have grown into separate positions, but in the beginning, I was doing it all.

Marquardt: How did EYSO change over the course of your 17 years?

Gardeners who didn’t see enough butterflies this past season might do well to note to plant certain colors, as well as native plants.

Learning from the season While the growing season is still fresh in your mind, jot down some notes to guide next year’s gardening decisions.

List favorite annuals that brightened the shade garden beautifully or performed like champs in sun-baked borders. If you finally found a flower in the perfect shade of coral to match the cushions on your garden bench, don’t trust the name to memory. Did your containers look better than ever before?

Sketch the design and note the plants.

If impatiens were leveled by downy mildew, you’ll want to avoid planting walleriana types of impatiens in the same spot, if at all. Were butterfly-loving annuals planted without considering the cosmetic damage by feeding caterpillars? A note will remind you to

LEARNING TO GROW Diana Stoll plant nearby to draw attention away from unsightly foliage.

In the perennial border, recall which plants didn’t perform as expected and plan to replace them.

Think back on color in the garden.

Were there plants blooming in spring, summer and fall? Or do you need to add some seasonal selections?

Jot down late-blooming perennials that grew too tall as a reminder to cut them back in June. Do some perennials need dividing next year? Perennials growing too large for their allotted

space or once bloomed beautifully, but now fail to flower are good candidates for division.

Make a quick sketch of the vegetable garden noting the locations vegetables were planted to prevent planting the same crop in the same place next year. Crop rotation manages soil fertility and reduces disease and insect troubles.

If you grew the best tasting tomato ever, record its name. It’s also important to note which plants disappointed, so you’ll choose different varieties.

Recording the type and timing of any disease or insect problems will help you notice them earlier and curb the use of pesticides.

We have all learned lessons the hard way: bargain plants that ran

rampant across our gardens; flimsy cages tomatoes overpowered as they grew; or shade cast on peppers by sweet corn planted on their west side.

Documenting mistakes reduces the chance we’ll make them again.

Using your season summary, spend the winter seeking information and inspiration. There are a number of resources, including books, magazines, catalogs and the University of Illinois Extension website, at http://web. extension.illinois.edu.

Continued from page 59 Matthews: Together with Randal, the orchestra really grew both artistically and numerically. When I first started, we had two orchestras with 70 students. Now we have five orchestras with almost 400 students.

Marquardt: What was your favorite part about working for EYSO? Matthews: It was the students who I worked with and traveled with who were just the best kids. And just all the people I got to meet because of it.

Marquardt: What is one experience that sticks out to you?

Matthews: Back 10 years ago, we took our orchestra to Scotland. I had never been overseas before. We had 90 students and 10 adults who went, and it was a great time. So, then I thought, “If I can get a whole orchestra overseas with instruments and everything, I can get myself overseas.” So I’ve been overseas several times to England and Scotland to study embroidery.

You have to do a huge project to become master judge, and I did my project on Scottish samplers. I also was the president of the Fox chapter of American Needlepoint Guild. I was also the area rep for the American Needlepoint Guild.

Marquardt: What are your plans for retirement?

Matthews: I want to travel more to study. … I have lots of unfinished projects to work on. I also am a gardener and a member of the Pottawatomie Garden Club. I also have a 4-year-old granddaughter who’s playing violin, so she has a recital in the spring, which I will have the time to attend now.

West Aurora High to present ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com

The West Aurora High School Drama Troupe 2013 will present its fall play, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” at 7 p.m. Nov. 17, 18 and 19 in the West Aurora High School auditorium, 1201 W. New York St., Aurora. Tickets are $8 and can be purchased online at www. sd129tickets.org or at the door.

Based on Harper Lee’s classic novel, “To Kill a Mockingbird” follows Scout, a young, wide-eyed girl in a quiet, southern town who is about to experience dramatic events that will affect the rest of her life. She and her brother, Jem, are being raised by their widower father, Atticus, and their strong-minded housekeeper, Calpurnia. Scout is fascinated with the sensitively revealed people of her small town but, from the start, there’s a rumble of thunder just under the calm surface of the life here.

Cast list ■ Jean Louise Finch: Megan Pawlak ■ Scout: Evann Meiers ■ Jem: Michael Holstine ■ Atticus: Coleman Farrell ■ Calpurnia: Chloe Eubanks ■ Miss Maudie: Melanie Garcia ■ Miss Stephanie: Beth Bunnetto ■ Mrs. Dubose: Anna Chaurize ■ Mr. Nathan Radley: David Capp ■ Arthur (Boo) Radley: Trevor Frueh ■ Dill: Lionel Hernandez ■ Heck Tate: Fernando Chapa ■ Judge Taylor: James McCann ■ Reverend Sykes: Josh Thomas ■ Mayella Ewell: Kelsey Harrison

Director Jen Pauley chose this particular show for multiple reasons.

me since I was 11,” Pauley said. “I have read it at least 25 times, and I learn something new from it each time. I

needed to direct it at some point.”

Her second reason for choosing the show was to pay homage to Harper Lee, who passed away this spring.

“Finally, and most importantly,” Pauley said, “I believe the world we currently live in needs desperately to be reminded of this story. The unrest, the violence, the intolerance that is presented in the media every day needs to be reminded that somewhere in our lives there are people who do the right thing simply because it is right. We need the integrity of Atticus, the precociousness of Scout and the mockingbird of Tom.” Audience members can expect to laugh, cry, and leave the auditorium with a heightened sense of unity and a full, but heavy heart. The show has a PG rating due to some difficult content. The adaptation is dramatized

by Christopher Sergel and is produced by special arrangement with The Dramatic Publishing Co. of Woodstock.

A fine new twist on Tres Leches cake

“There’s Always Room for Chocolate: Recipes from Brooklyn’s The Chocolate Room,” (Rizzoli), a new book by Naomi Josepher, Jon Payson and Georgia Freedman, is full of exciting, delectable-sounding recipes, one more tempting than the next.

Take a gander at recipes and photos of the Chocolate-Dipped Coconut Macaroons, Chocolate Pecan Pie, Frozen White Chocolate Raspberry Mousse and Chocolate Almond Flan “There’s – each one a winner.

Always But probably the Room for most enticing of all Chocolate” is one that goes the extra mile with Tres Leches or “three milks,” a popular Latin American dessert. This updated version is dubbed Chocolate Cuatro Leches Cake; that’s right: four kinds of milk go into this memorable treat.

TOM’S COOKBOOK LIBRARY Tom Witom

Its base is a chocolate sponge cake that is soaked with a mix of condensed milk, evaporated milk and heavy cream. Then it’s topped with a 16-ounce can of sweet, creamy dulce de leche for added flavor.

The cookbook also allocates space for primers on techniques, such as tempering chocolate, whipping cream and eggs and assembling a cake.

In January 2005, Josepher and Payson opened their dessert shop, The Chocolate, in Brooklyn.

Journalist Tom Witom, who lives in Elgin, has written extensively for years about food and the food industry. Contact him at editorial@ kcchronicle.com.

CHOCOLATE CUATRO LECHES CAKE Makes one 9x13-inch cake Cake 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder 10 extra-large eggs 1 cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract Vegetable oil spray Three milk “Soak” 14 ounces condensed milk 12 ounces evaporated milk 1 cup heavy cream 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract To assemble 16 ounces dulce de leche, homemade or store-bought Make cake Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In small bowl, whisk together flour and cocoa powder; set aside. In bowl of stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, whip eggs and sugar together for 2 minutes on medium, then add vanilla and whip on high until mixture has tripled in volume, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove bowl from mixer, add dry ingredients and use rubber spatula to fold and mix everything together until mixture no longer has streaks, making sure to scrape down sides and bottom of bowl.

Spray 9x13-inch casserole dish with vegetable oil spray and pour batter into prepared dish. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until paring knife inserted into center of cake comes out clean. Let cool to room temperature; cake will deflate a bit as it cools. When cake has cooled, use paring knife to poke it all over, 30 to 40 times.

Soak cake In medium bowl, mix condensed milk, evaporated milk, cream and vanilla, then pour mixture over cake, distributing liquid as evenly as possible over cake’s surface.

Cover casserole dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate cake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, so liquid can soak into cake.

Dr. Ian Smithton (played by Rhys Read) and Juliana (Lori Rohr) fight about what happened to their daughter.

Albright Theatre to explore ‘The Other Place’ KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com

BATAVIA – “The Other Place,” a drama about love, loss, memory and perception, will open Oct. 28 at The Albright Theatre in Batavia.

Written by Sharr White, it is described as a deeply insightful play, according to a news release from The Albright Theatre Company. The story follows Juliana Smithton, a successful neurologist and researcher whose life turns chaotic when her husband files for divorce, her relationship with her daughter crumbles and her health falls into question.

Bit by bit, the brilliantly written play unfolds as Juliana’s facts blur

with fiction, her past collides with her present, and the elusive truth begins to surface, the release stated.

“I was drawn to direct this show when I read it because of the way the story is told,” director Jennifer Ring of Batavia stated in the release. “It’s not just laid out for you in a straight line. Instead, the script is a fast-paced blending of moments where memories of the past crash into the present. I was drawn to the challenge of bringing the show to life and making those transitions happen live on stage in a way that the audience can follow.”

Lori Rohr of Palatine takes on the role of Juliana Smithton; Rhys Read of Des Plaines plays Juliana’s husband,

Dr. Smithton; and rounding out the cast playing multiple roles each are Jess Santrock of Naperville as The Woman and Tom Holtquist of Montgomery as The Man. The show is supported by producer Shelly Rolf of Geneva, stage manager Jennifer Richardson of Batavia, and projectionist Cass Hanlin of Batavia.

“Being able to work intimately with a small cast, and one that is as talented as this group, is what makes me want to direct,” Ring said. “This is a challenging script because it jumps back and forth in time. The cast has to be able to jump from one emotion to the next without any time for transition.

I was very lucky in finding the right people to take on these characters.”

Lisa Zimmer, Essential Oils 101 presenter and co-owner of Essential Oils & The Oil Dude, said her findings have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and that essential oil products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.

■ WHAT: Essential Oils 101 ■ WHEN: 3 to 4 p.m. Nov. 6 ■ WHERE: Sugar Grove Public Library,

Zimmer explained what makes this class fun.

“We get to experience the oils,” Zimmer said. “They get to smell them, try them.”

Zimmer added that her husband is “very entertaining.”

“Our philosophy in life is to choose joy,” Zimmer said. “And so we love making people happy, love making people smile. And we incorporate that into everything that we do.”

advocate Jeni Hinds. Kaneville Public Library director Lynda Fillipp said the program has been successful, with up to 15 people attending the events.

“For us, I was very pleased with it,” Fillipp said. “Our library in comparison to the Elburn and Sugar Grove libraries is relatively smaller. … But we definitely had a good turnout.”

Fillipp has noticed the curiosity people have about these essential oils.

“There is a genuine interest among a lot of people who are looking at alternative ways for health benefits other than taking medications and stuff like that

because there’s certainly a lot of health benefits to essential oils,” Fillipp said.

Genna Mickey, Adult Services manager for the Sugar Grove Public Library, said residents requested the new essential oils program.

“I’ve seen a great interest in this topic,” Mickey said. “And so I’m excited that Lisa Zimmer is able to demystify essential oils and allow for questions about the right types and what to use essential oils for.”

Attendees will be able to try the top 10 essential oils – frankincense, lavender, lemon, melaleuca, oregano, peppermint, respiratory blend, soothing blend, digestive blend and protecting blend. They also will be able to take home some free samples and possibly win tailor-made oils.

Anyone interested in checking out the class can register at the library, call 630-466-4686 or visit www.sgpl.org.

“There is a shift in health and wellness toward natural and safe solutions,” Zimmer said. “And this is an excellent choice for that.”

SUGAR GROVE – Adults who want to learn the scoop about essential oils can attend a class called Essential Oils 101 on Nov. 6 at the Sugar Grove Public Library.

The event will be from 3 to 4 p.m. in Meeting Room B, 125 S. Municipal Drive, Sugar Grove. The presenter is Lisa Zimmer, an essential oils educator for her business Lisa Zimmer Essential Oils & The Oil Dude.

The “dude” is Zimmer’s husband, Scott, who will also present.

Lisa Zimmer defined essential oils as natural aromatic compounds found in seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers and other parts of plants.

“They can lift mood, calm the senses, elicit powerful emotional responses and physical responses,” Zimmer said. “For example, if you have knee discomfort, you may apply soothing blend or peppermint essential oil to provide comfort and soothing relief to that area.”

tucked in the crook of my arm mere minutes after she was born, after the nurse left us alone in our dark room and surprise snowflakes (’twas spring in North Carolina) began falling and glittering in the midnight sky. I remember a morning many months later, when Holly leaned against my arms, her own outstretched in wild-baby abandon as her eyes drifted closed. Music filled the air, and we twirled. Silky-fine strands of platinum-blond baby hair fluttered as we moved, each wisp like spun gold as it caught the sun streaming in through the sunroom windows and sparkled with the innocent sweetness of morning, of possibilities, and of hope.

So yes, how in this world, which is filled with good men and yet is a veritable Russian-roulette of Donald Trumps, Brock Turners and catcalls, can I possibly protect her? Taller than me now, with a kick more powerful than you’d expect from one so lovely

(she’s a soccer player), I’m glad for her strength. I pray she never needs it, and ponder the times I might have – but fortunately didn’t. Like the time I was maybe 9 years old, and briefly held at BB gun-point behind a house by a teenage neighbor boy. I still have no idea what he was up to, but knew I’d been overpowered. Years later, I foolishly walked alone after dark to a boyfriend’s house off campus. When I stayed behind in the darkroom on campus to finish up a photography project one evening, months after we’d broken up (and he’d begun arriving to my classes before I did), I opened the door to find him all but blocking it.

“I knew you’d be here,” he said. I slipped past him and sprinted all the way to the campus police station, my scarf billowing like a flag behind me. He sprinted, too, but I blew into that office, was ushered out of sight, and learned that he’d actually followed me there. The following year, the week before my college graduation, the married (with children) journalism professor, who’d called me his star pupil, began sending flowers to my off-campus apartment. And the day before graduation, he trailed behind

me in his car as I trekked across campus.

The whole thing made me wonder if I really was as capable as he’d said I was – or if it was something else.

I keep thinking about that scarf, a blue plaid, and the beautiful royal blue wool coat to which it was tethered. I loved that coat. My mom, who years later wondered out loud if I’d known she whispered “I love you” to me as I lay sleeping in my crib, had sent money for me to buy it. She had hopes, as I do now, that her love would insulate me from harm. It can’t hurt, but one of my friends says she doesn’t know a single woman who hasn’t been harassed or assaulted. That’s remarkable when you think about it. Is that even possible? What if she’s right? What does that mean? I pondered this as I did the dishes and watched out the kitchen window as my dear daughter headed to the neighbor’s to let out the dog. We’ve got to do something. But what?

Thursday, October 27, 2016 • Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com

Sometimes, when life feels painful, I look for the “gift.” Something to learn, perhaps. It may not be there, or even seem worthwhile, but it’s here this year – in the rubble of this insane election cycle. The gift? We’re talking.

About what it’s like to be a woman, about how scary it is sometimes, and about what we can do about it.

Reports of various politicians’ sexual misconduct have reignited the conversation, and even my Facebook feed’s lighting up in a way I’ve not ever seen, with candid disclosures from friends both recalling and reflecting. Among them, one worries about the wisdom of reveling in a run one recent, glorious October morning, when outside her window sits a man in a car. Is he safe?

Likely unaware of her angst, he enjoys his break – or texts his boss, or does whatever it is he’s doing. Determined, my friend goes for that run. I get it. I calculate the risk, too, each and every time I pedal alone on the bike path. Do men know we do this? Always?

Another woman marvels at the perfection of her newborn baby girl.

How will she protect her, she wonders.

I recall marveling at mine as she lay

Add whole grains for healthier diet Dear Dr. K: I know I should be eating

more whole grains, but for years I’ve been eating white bread, white rice and white pasta. I don’t know where to begin the switch to whole grains. Can you help?

Dear Reader: Like you, many of my patients and I are making the switch to whole grains. Why? Diets rich in whole grains are linked with a reduced risk of many medical conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, obesity and certain cancers.

Whole-grain kernels are essentially plant seeds that have been removed from their inedible husks. All the grains we eat now started as whole grains, but we’ve stripped them down and lost some of the nutrition.

Whole grains include unrefined versions of familiar foods like wheat, corn, rice, oats, barley and rye.

Whole grains may take a little getting used to, especially if you’re accustomed to fluffy white rice and instant oatmeal. But they can reward you with more complex flavor and a more interesting plate.

For example, I haven’t had white rice in an Asian restaurant in a long time – the nutty flavor of brown rice is so much tastier. The following tips may help you get started: • Start with the familiar. Switch to a whole-grain version of something you already eat. For example, try brown or wild rice instead of white rice. Or try whole-grain pasta instead of white pasta.

There are now several brands of wholegrain pasta in supermarkets that taste at least as good to me as white pasta. And my morning toast is always whole grain: It just tastes better that store-bought white bread.

• Go gradually. Add whole grains a little at a time. For example, try mixing some brown rice into your white rice or replacing half your white pasta with whole-grain

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff pasta. Substitute whole-grain cereals for quick-cooking varieties.

• Take shortcuts. Whole grains take longer to cook. Speed the process by soaking them first. (Don’t try this with pasta, though!)

• Rethink snacks. Surprise! Popcorn is a whole grain, too. It’s a great substitute for chips and pretzels. I have mid-evening popcorn once or twice a week. If I pour some olive oil over the kernels before popping them, I don’t need to add butter after they’re popped. (You do need to add some salt, though.)

• Be adventurous. Quinoa, in three colors, is now easy to find. And the so-called “ancient grains” – including amaranth, bulgur, farro, Kamut, millet, spelt, sorghum and teff – are also becoming familiar on grocery shelves and in restaurants.

• Don’t be fooled. When you’re buying packaged baked goods or cereals, look for “whole grain” on the label. “Multigrain” means only that the product is made from more than one grain, not that those grains are whole.

Finally, be assured that cooking whole grains does not involve long and complicated instructions. Combine the dry grain and liquid in a pot with water or broth, bring it to a boil, then simmer until the liquid is absorbed. It’s easy to eat healthy – and it tastes delicious.

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

PUZZLE SOLUTION

CROSSWORD PUZZLE ANSWERS

Sister in New York Dear Big Sister: If your brother is a junior and

still taking freshman classes, he belongs back in school. He may be lazy, but he may also have learning disabilities. If he doesn’t get the help he needs to earn a diploma, he’ll be virtually unemployable by the time he’s 18. Your mother should visit his school and talk to his teachers and the principal about this. As it stands, your brother may be considered “truant,” which is against the law.

Dear Abby: I am 47 years old and date younger, usually very attractive women. I live in New York City, so they tend to be models. I haven’t been married because I feel like I haven’t met “the one.”

I have been with one or two women who could have been the one, only to find out my feelings weren’t reciprocated. But more often I don’t feel an emotional/intellectual connection, so I end the relationship.

While I might be able to resolve that issue by dating women in their late 30s and 40s, I’m more physically attracted to younger women.

Because I don’t look my age, I have yet to reach the point where I look “too old” for women in their 20s to be attracted.

Do I continue to follow my male instincts and date younger women, or should I date women closer to my age to whom I may not be as physically attracted, knowing there’s still no guarantee I’ll meet someone with whom I’ll find a stronger connection? – Likes ’Em

Younger Dear Likes: Forgive me for answering your

question with a question, but what do you really want in a relationship? The problem with youth is that it doesn’t last. As the years go by, we get older – if we’re lucky. That’s why it’s time to start listing your priorities, with the help of a licensed mental health professional, if necessary. (There are many well-qualified ones in your city.) I urge you to do it soon, before you start looking like your date’s rich uncle.

While marriage may not be for everyone, it’s a known fact that married men live longer.

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

Dr. Wallace: I own a motorcycle and enjoy the freedom a bike can give. It’s the ultimate high to be cruising, wind in your hair, observing nature’s beauty. Why should I be restricted by wearing a safety helmet?

If safety helmets are such a good deal, why don’t all people wear one when in a car? Many automobile drivers and passengers suffer fatal head injuries. – Zeke,

Phoenix, Ariz.

Zeke: Automobile riders who

wear lap and shoulder belts stand a great chance of not having their heads battered. Safety is greatly improved in automobiles that are equipped with air bags. Unfortunately, seat belts and air bags are not available for bikers. Please read the following letter from Terri. I hope her letter will convince you to reconsider your position regarding safety helmets: Dr. Wallace: I was born in the United States, but both of my parents were born in Korea. I learned to speak Korean and was brought up with a strict Korean philosophy, especially when it comes to education. I attend an all-girls private high school. I do have above average intelligence and all of my grades so far have been A’s.

My parents have set aside two hours every school day from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. for review and study.

For my parents, my grades are extremely important. I would be very worried if I didn’t get all A’s.

I’m in the eleventh grade and I would like to play school sports (basketball, volleyball, badminton, etc.) Practice would be from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. The sports I would like to play would be basketball during the winter and volleyball in the fall. My parents are not sure that playing sports would not hurt my grades. Please give me your opinion. My parents

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace gave me permission to write to you – Nameless, San Francisco,

Calif.

Nameless: The University of

Michigan conducted a study of 700 high school valedictorians, the majority who had 4.00 (all A’s) grade-point averages and found that 87 percent took part in at least one extra-curricular activity, while 76 percent were involved in two. Academically gifted students have varied interests and usually find a way to be involved in activities and still excel academically. All colleges and universities look favorably on students who participate in activities. Such participation enhances the academic excellence.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 20 and my guy is 21. I love him more than any human being can love another.

I want us to get married, but he says that he is not sure he is in love with me. His parents and my parents think that we are an ideal couple and they are pushing for us to get married. What do you think? I’m positive that after we are married I’d get him to love me. I’m a very persuasive individual. – Nameless, Louis-

ville, Ky. Nameless: Marriage is a total

commitment of the husband and wife to love, cherish and honor each other until death separates them. Even when both of the marriage partners love each other, it takes a total effort by both to bring about harmony, joy and happiness. Marriage is a 24-houra-day, 365-day-a-year commitment – from husband to wife, and wife to husband.

Both sets of parents are not doing you and your “guy” a favor by pushing for a marriage. Do not consider a marriage until you are 100% convinced that he truly loves you as much as you love him.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 18 and my boyfriend is 19 and we have discussed the possibility of getting married, but one thing bothers me. His dad is in prison and so is his dad’s sister for the same crime. My mother said I shouldn’t get serious with this boy because there is a good chance that our children could be criminals because of inherited traits. Is this true? – Angela, Bata-

via, Illinois Angela: Your mother is misin-

formed. People are not born with criminal traits. Crime is a learned behavior.

Dr. Wallace: Kenny and I had been dating for more than a year, but we broke up because we both wanted to date others. Recently, I’ve been dating a guy and I like him a lot. Now Kenny is calling me every day begging me for us to get back together again. I like Kenny as a friend, but the romance we once had is gone forever. I won’t date him again. Lately, I have been refusing to take his phone calls because he keeps calling even after I’ve told him not to call me anymore since I will not be changing my mind. He keeps calling and he tells my mom to have me call him “when I find time.” Now my mom thinks that it’s rude of me that I do not return his calls. Your opinion, please. – Nameless, Seattle, Wash.

Nameless: Since you have told Kenny repeatedly not to call you, you have no obligation to return his unwanted calls. In fact, it is better that you don’t. Eventually, Kenny will get your message.

Dear Abby: I’m DEAR ABBY 18 and a freshman in college.

Jeanne My 16-yearPhillips old brother is supposed to be a junior in high school, but he’s still taking freshman classes. He has gone to school maybe twice this year. He just gave up and dropped out.

All he does is stay home, sleep and text all day. It makes me angry because I don’t work right now, but I clean, cook, do laundry and take care of my younger siblings while he does absolutely nothing.

Mom has given up on him. She begs him to go to school and get an education, but he yells at her and tells her he doesn’t care and he’ll just become a hobo. I don’t know what to say to him to get it through his head that he needs to finish high school. What would you do? – Big

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Andrew Mason, the founder and former CEO of Groupon, said, “All the trends show that email usage among the younger cohorts of internet users is declining. Whether it will take five or 30 years for email to go extinct, I’m not sure.”

I find it hard to believe that email will become extinct. But in bridge, despite the evidence of this deal, it feels as if the penalty double has become extinct, except when the opponents are clearly sacrificing.

What is North’s double in this auction? How can the defenders defeat three hearts doubled after West leads the club king?

When each of the first three players bids a different suit, double by the fourth hand is called Snapdragon.

It shows length in the fourth suit (at least five cards) and tolerance (commonly honor-doubleton) for partner’s suit. If instead fourth hand bids his suit, it denies help for partner.

Note that East-West did well not to go to the four-level, where they would have lost four tricks: three spades and one heart or, more likely, two spades, a spade ruff by South and one heart.

West’s penalty double was aggressive, but he knew his side had the balance of power.

After West led the club king (East signaled with the eight) and played another round, the spotlight was on East. If he had continued with a high club, South would have ruffed high (West would have thrown a spade), drawn two rounds of trumps, and played three rounds of spades, discarding a diamond, to get home.

Instead, East accurately cashed his diamond king and diamond queen before leading the third club, which promoted a trump trick for West.

With medicine evolving we are able to now offer patients cutting edge treatment options that are alternatives to joint replacement surgery. The Stem Cell Institute of America offers therapies that are cutting edge treatment ideal for improving joint mobility, reducing joint pain and preventing costly and painful surgeries.

We have partnered with Stem Cell Institute of America because our providers understand you or someone you love may have been diagnosed with Arthritis, Degenerative Joint Disease or been told you are bone on bone.

We know that as people are diagnosed with these conditions, common treatments ensue, including OTC

medications, prescription drugs, pain killers, physical therapy, injections including cortisone and “rooster comb” (Synvisc, Orthovisc...) and even surgery.

As treatments are tried, the benefit and relief from many of these therapies is short lived and other treatment options are provided to take the previous protocol’s place and still temporary results are obtained. The end result for many of these conditions is major surgery, like a total joint replacement, or live with chronic pain and disability. We have the solution to all these problems and it’s Regenerative Medicine presented by Stem Cell Institute of America.

Regenerative therapy takes advantage of your body’s ability to repair itself, naturally. The army of healing cells is injected to the area by one of our trained practitioners. These procedures are SAFE, ETHICAL and EFFECTIVE at repairing damage and reducing pain while improving your function.

Stem Cell Institute of America’s protocol uses the healing potential of cells derived from Amniotic and Placental Tissue.

This tissue is a rich source of nonimmunogenic cells nearly eliminating the risk of rejection or side effects while providing an incredible healing force in your body. Over the span of a few weeks to months, the cells and growth factors assist your body’s ability to repair and regenerate cartilage, ligaments, joint fluid, muscles, tissues and even nerves. This simple in office procedure can have an incredible impact on your function and restore your pain free life.
