Richard Malmberg St. Charles resident

questionable whether you have upheld the public trust.”

Resident Barb Klyczek said the board had no right to stop her comments at last month’s meeting.

Klyczek had intended to speak about the qualifications of the new director, Edith Craig, but she was stopped from speaking because the topic was not on the agenda.

Klyczek and the Kane County Chronicle both filed requests for review from the Illinois Attorney General’s public access counselor, resulting in the board agreeing to suspend the rule, then change it by the December meeting.

Lisa Bennett, a former employee who resigned over the board’s hiring of Craig, criticized the board for a number of issues, including asserting that Haines told department heads that they would be held “personally responsible” if any of their staff attended the October meeting.

As her interest in the library’s meeting minutes was piqued, Bennett said

she requested the latest set of closed meeting minutes that the board had voted to release – as required by law for public bodies to do every six months.

The one set of closed meeting minutes released by the board was from May 1996, Bennett said.

“It was a discussion of potential pay increases [and it was] a violation of the Open Meetings Act because it only allows discussion of individual employees, not a department, not a whole work force,” Bennett said.

Bennett filed a Freedom of Information Act request for all minutes that pertained to property acquisitions from 2000 through 2002.

Open meeting minutes were provided, but the board’s attorney denied her request for closed meeting minutes, citing the exemption that the board had not released them.

Bennett said she has filed a request for review from the public access counselor at the Attorney General’s Office.

Resident Ann McLaughlin took the

library board to task for requiring her to provide her name and address when she wanted to pick up a petition packet to run for the library board.

When she asked why, “I was informed that this was the law,” McLaughlin said.

After she called the Illinois State Board of Elections, McLaughlin said she was told, “‘There is no law.’ … I spoke to the assistant director and told her what you are doing is not legal.”

McLaughlin said she urged library officials to shred the personal information they had already collected from those picking up petitions as there was no legal basis for them to have that information.

Most board members did not comment about what the critics had to say, but Anne Francissen said she was glad to have so many members of the public at the meeting.

“I’m glad they are here,” Francissen said. “I wish we had the public here at every meeting. I think their feedback is great for the board and it’s great for the community.”

“It was strong language, but they have a right to express their concerns,” board member Kimberly Reese said. “I don’t think that anyone has intentionally done wrongdoing. I do think that the board gets in the habit of doing things … and we felt all along we were abiding by the law.”

St. Charles East, McDonald’s support Conlon family KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com

ST. CHARLES – On Nov. 8, it was all about Cody Conlon at the St. Charles McDonald’s at 1915 W. Main St. St. Charles East High School teachers took over the restaurant and served meals to students and families to raise money for the family of Cody Conlon, who lost their mom and brother in the past year, according to a news release.

“Forty-two teachers worked very hard, including Principal Charlie Kyle and Assistant Principal Lisa Dandre,” the news release stated. “The McTeacher jobs included drive-thru teachers, greeters, teachers cleaning the lobby, front counter teachers, drink teachers, teachers clearing tables and teachers serving ice cream. There were even teachers singing for tips.”

Many students, teachers, families and friends came out to support the Conlon family, the release stated.

Students came to see their teachers perform and work at the St. Charles McDonald’s.

A special appearance by the band McTeachers helped make the fundraiser a memorable evening.

There also was an appearance by Benny the Bull from the Chicago Bulls, who heard from teachers at St. Charles East that Cody is a big Bulls fan, the release stated.

“Special thank you goes to Assistant Principal Lisa Dandre, who organized the entire event,” the release stated.

“It was a great night. The event was courtesy of the McDonald’s owner/operators, the Lardas family.”

Cody Conlon loses mother and brother in past year

Thursday, November 17, 2016 • Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com

ST. CHARLES – Four residents of the St. Charles Library District took board members to task for recent issues regarding the Open Meetings Act and the hiring of an inexperienced director – with one resident calling for them all to resign.

After a complaint to the Illinois Attorney General’s Office about the limitations on public comment, the board suspended its rule at its Nov. 9 meeting to allow comment on items not on the agenda.

About 50 people attended the meeting.

Board President Tory Haines said board members would not respond to statements or questions during public comment.

Richard Malmberg, a new resident of St. Charles and a new pastor at Little Home Church by the Wayside in Wayne, called for the entire board to resign and stand for election in April.

“I attended my first board meeting last month, and I was dismayed by the opaque nature of the meeting,” Malmberg said. “Given your abuse of public records, open meetings, the trust of the search process in finding an underqualified director, I would call on you to resign en masse and stand for re-election. From what I heard tonight and from what I saw last month, that’s

“Given your abuse of public records, open meetings, the trust of the search process in finding an underqualified director, I would call on you to resign en masse and stand for re-election.”

St. Charles architect to help restore Wyoming State Capitol building

By SUZANNE FLYNN

editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – In August, Michael Dixon, 68, finished a six-month special response assignment with the Peace Corps in Ukraine.

But anyone who knows him knows that once one project ends, he always finds another – and that’s exactly what he’s done.

“Actually this project found me,” Dixon said. “I literally had an email when I got home from my Ukraine assignment. It was from an old committee member from the American Institute of Architects National Historic Resources asking me if I’d be interested in a 30-month assignment. That’s all the message said.”

That old friend was Jerry Berggren of Berggren Architects, based in Lincoln, Neb., who is working with the Omaha-based international firm of HDR Inc. in Cheyenne, Wyo. HDR is handling the design and restoration for the Wyoming State Capitol Restoration Project.

After meeting with the two firms, Dixon accepted the position as site architect and historic preservation consultant for the project.

“I have known Mike for [more than] 30 years and knew he was perfect, even more qualified, for this job,” Berggren said. “I just had to track him down and it just so happened that his Peace Corps assignment was just ending – the timing couldn’t have been more perfect.”

As site architect and historic pres-

He will interpret drawings, review and approve payments for contractors, and simply be the “go-to-guy” for all deconstruction work as the project uncovers the history of the capitol – whether that’s stone, stained glass or archways.

“We are confident Michael is the perfect on-site person to provide us with the historical architectural expertise we need for this project,” said Suzanne Norton, program manager for the Wyoming State Construction Department. “I know he will be a great fit for our team.”

The Capitol Building restoration is part of a $300 million Capitol Square Project that includes the entire Capitol campus. About 767 state employees – including session staff – were moved from the Capitol and Herschler Building of the campus to nearby buildings during renovations beginning in June 2015. The Capitol has been closed to visitors since December 2015.

The project will be completed in phases, with the first phase of the Herschler Building expected to be done

by January 2018; the second phase by March 2019; the Capitol substantial completion by April 2019; and the entire completion celebration scheduled for July 10, 2019, which also is Wyo-

ming’s 129th statehood anniversary.

“We are doing a lot of work to all the components of the campus,” Norton said. “We will be rehabbing and restoring the Capitol, replacing the central utility plant, remodeling and expanding the connecting tunnel, and remodeling and expanding the Herschler Building.”

But it’s not just cosmetic enhancements to the buildings. The walls in the Herschler Building leak every time it rains, cold drafts seep in through gaps in the windows, and the hallways have a confusing maze-like layout that will all be fixed with the renovations.

Before joining the Peace Corps, Dixon owned an architect firm in St. Charles for 32 years. Dixon Associates/ Architects did historic documentation and preservation for many local buildings such as the Geneva History Museum, Geneva Public Library, St. Charles Municipal Building, Hotel Baker, Arcada Theatre, Norris Cultural Arts Center, many church projects, several houses and much more.

Six years ago, the economy slowed.

He had just one employee and decided to do something different with his life – the Peace Corps. This opportunity took him to Armenia, the Republic of Kosova and Ukraine. Once he came home from his last assignment, he was excited to hear there was a chance to get back to doing what he loves.

“This opportunity in Cheyenne is something I just couldn’t pass up,” Dixon said. “It’s a dream job for me, and I knew deep down I was not quite ready for retirement just yet.”

On Nov. 16 and 17, 1989, severe thunderstorms from the Midwest to the East Coast caused 30 deaths, 10 times Hugo’s toll.

Therefore, Hurricane Hugo was the most damaging storm in the United States in 1989, but not the most deadly.

City warns of utility payment scheme

Chamber of Commerce welcomes Urban Counter restaurant

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com

ST. CHARLES – The city of St. Charles recently has received reports from residents and area businesses of someone claiming to be with the city of St. Charles electric utility who contacted them to advise that their electric bill was overdue.

The caller said if payment was not made immediately, power would be shut off.

This is a scam, according to a news release from the city. If a resident or business owner receives a call demanding immediate payment or the power will be shut off, they are advised to hang up immediately and report it to the St. Charles Police Department at 630-377-4435 or police@ stcharlesil.gov.

The city of St. Charles utility billing division will never call and threaten to turn off electric service, the release stated. If a resident or business owner’s electric bill is overdue, customers will first receive a red bill that shows the overdue amount (regular bills are blue).

If the account remains unpaid, a disconnection warning will be sent in the mail, which gives 10 days to pay to bring the account up to date. Only after these two attempts to correct the account status have been made with no action from the customer will a call be made, the release stated.

The city’s utility billing division will never call after hours or on a weekend. It calls only during regular office hours, which are from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The city will never demand payment over the phone. It does not accept payment over the phone. Utility billing does not accept payment with Green Dot MoneyPak or any money cards, gift cards or wire transfers of funds.

The city’s caller ID only displays “City of St. Charles.”

Customers with questions regarding the status of an account can contact the city’s utility billing department during normal business hours at 630-377-4426 or email utilitybilling@stcharlesil.gov.

District 303 authorizes architectural work for Thompson Middle School expansion

By MARTHA QUETSCH

editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – St. Charles School District officials are proceeding with a plan that they have mulled for more than a year – to expand and improve Thompson Middle School starting in 2017. Under the plan, Haines Middle School will close after the completion of work at Thompson.

Several district residents and students voiced objections about the plan to the Board of Education during its regular meeting Nov. 14.

Faced with declining kindergarten enrollment and outdated middle school buildings, district officials said most of the feedback from residents during the past year supported expanding Thompson and closing Haines rather than a proposal for a new middle school.

“We are authorizing the architect to go ahead,” said Kathy Hewell, school board president. “It’s my understanding we don’t have interest in a new building.”

The board authorized work for the Thompson project by the Minneapolis-based architectural firm ATS&R. The company will provide design services, bidding documents and contract administration for which the district will pay 7 percent of the $39,135,000 estimated total construction cost.

To pay for the Thompson project, the district will use a grant, existing budget savings and money from previous bond sales. A new building would have required a tax-increase referendum that likely would fail, district officials said.

The Thompson project will add 31 new classrooms, 11 new science labs, a larger cafeteria, an additional gymnasium, air conditioning throughout the school, and improved parking and traffic flow.

Starting next fall and continuing through the 2018-19 school year, all sixth-graders will attend Thompson, with students occupying areas not under construction; seventh- and eighth-graders will attend Haines.

The Thompson project will be fin-

ished by fall 2019, at which time Haines will close, and Thompson and Wredling will house sixth through eighth grades.

The district will implement middle school redistricting to ensure nearly equal enrollments at the two schools.

Students within 1.5 miles of a school will attend that school.

Board approves estimated tax levy

Also on Nov. 14, the school board approved a 2016 property tax estimate of $145,495,000 for district expenses. This amount is 0.67 percent more than the actual district property taxes for 2015, which totaled $143,156,626.

District officials said the increase is because of estimated new property growth during the past year.

On Dec. 12, the board will adopt the 2016 proposed levy and file it with the Kane County Clerk’s Office by Dec. 20.

The county will determine the final levy amount based on actual 2016 new property growth, which it will determine in the spring before issuing tax bills to property owners.

“Did you cheer for the Cubs the last couple weeks at least?” Burns asked.

“No,” Sejnost said. “North Siders are weird.”

The program included patriotic songs led by music therapist Amber Johnson and taps performed by John Carson on trumpet. The color guard was provided by American Legion Post 75 in Geneva.

Jarman also did a reading of “Beatitudes of American Servicemen and Women.”

“Blessed are you who labored for the greater good, for your sacrifice

is a lesson in service,” Jarman said.

“Blessed are you who stood in the face of dangers and fear so we may rest in security and peace.”

Many vets had family and friends attend the ceremony and joined them for refreshments afterward.

Roberta and Dan Koebele of Kaneville attended for her father, Robert Michalski, 93, a World War II Army veteran who served in the infantry and was awarded a Purple Heart.

“The World War II guys are getting fewer and far between,” Dan Koebele said. “We definitely need to honor them. They paid an ultimate major

price for what they did … in the Pacific Theater and the European Theater. It was a very nice ceremony. We need to honor these guys every chance we get – and ladies.”

Joni Kupar and her daughter, Elizabeth, 21, of Elburn attended for her father, John Storto, 87, a veteran of Korea.

“I thought it was very nice,” Joni Kupar said. “I thought it was nice for the congressman and mayor to come and personally honor them. … It’s very memorable for the family to know that they care.”

GENEVA – Twenty veterans gathered in the community room at Arden Courts of Geneva to be honored at a Veterans Day event Nov. 11, a national holiday that honors military veterans.

Arden Courts provides residential care for those with Alzheimer’s, dementia and other cognitive impairments, according to its website.

U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Winfield, presented each veteran with a certificate of service recognition. Geneva Mayor Kevin Burns presented each with a service pin provided by the facility. Both men also gave each veteran a handshake and a thank you.

“We are so grateful for your service,” Hultgren said. “You were willing to sacrifice everything. … And we want to thank you from the bottom of our heart for all you’ve done for us.”

As the two moved through the room, the solemnity of the occasion also was tempered with humor.

Hultgren thanked Dorothy Rothwell, noting she was a U.S. Army nurse veteran.

“Don’t thank me. I got myself a nice husband,” Rothwell said, prompting an outburst of laughter.

To Stanley Benton, a Navy veteran, Burns quipped that the certificate was “good for a free lunch at the Mill Race Inn,” also eliciting a laugh as the restaurant recently was torn down.

Burns commented about his height – 6-foot-5 – to Army veteran Robert Cummins.

“You’re tall,” Burns said. “I didn’t know Army guys were that tall. … Did you play basketball?”

Cummins said he played at Immaculate Conception High School.

“Man, oh, man,” Burns said. “The Army could use you now.”

“I could use them,” Cummins replied, causing another outburst of chortling.

Army Air Corps veteran William Kramer flew more than 80 transport flights over the Himalayas during World War II, said Kathy Jarman, the veteran liaison for the agency.

“Congressman,” Burns said to Hultgren after he gave Kramer his pin.

“Mr. Kramer said he was with 80 goofy young men who were subject to discharge at any moment.”

“They got the job done,” Hultgren said.

Veteran Garry Smart served in the Australian Service.

“I hope it’s OK that we give you a U.S. pin … with a United States flag on it,” Jarman said as Smart accepted the pin.

Burns noted that veteran Robert Sejnost, who served in the Army, was a

Nanobrewery in Batavia hopes to make big splash

By MARK FOSTER

editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – Almost any young hipster or aging hippie can tell you about microbrews. How about nanobrews?

Those are even smaller craft brewing operations that are turning out exceedingly modest amounts of beer for local consumption.

Energy City Brewing in Batavia is designed to be such an operation, producing kegs for local bars and restaurants and limited bottling runs for beer connoisseurs.

Batavia couple David and Heidi Files have rented a commercial space at 2 1/2 W. Wilson St., Suite A1, and are well on their way to getting all the necessary city permits.

The location, which is accessible only from the rear of the building, would not be a tavern or even a taproom, the pair said, although there likely would be tastings when new beers are released. David Files said Energy City Brewing initially would pro-

duce one barrel, or 31 gallons a week, in the 1,700-square-foot space.

The couple is enthusiastic about living in Batavia and the prospect of attracting business from out of town.

“People will seek good beer from far away,” Heidi Files said.

The two seem to epitomize the new wave of young professional couples making their home in Batavia. He is a technician working to produce ethanol at a plant in Rochelle. She is a transportation planner for Kane County.

They compared the venture to putting money into a hobby instead of into a luxury, such a sports car.

David Files has won awards for his brewing and describes their plans for Energy City Brewing as a “boutique production brewery.” It will produce both ales and lagers, he said.

The Batavia City Council’s Committee of the Whole recently approved the creation of a new liquor license classification to accommodate nanobrewery Mark Foster - For Shaw Media operations. Approval by the full council is expected.

Heidi and David Files of Batavia plan to open a nanobrewery operation in Batavia.

‘Go Cubs Go’ My earliest memory of watching the Chicago Cubs was going to a game in the mid-1980s with a friend and her family. Through the years, I remember watching Mark Grace, Rick Sutcliffe, Andre Dawson and Ryne Sandberg. I was in the bleachers as Ryno rounded Wrigley for a final time in 1997.

As an adult, Wrigley Field was a haven for my friends, family and me, even living within a mile of the stadium for a few years in my 20s.

Watching Game 7 of the World Series with my mom and my husband was a dream come true. We screamed in the middle of my mom’s living room. It was a moment I’ll never forget.

Unfortunately, my schedule didn’t allow me to travel into Chicago for the victory parade and rally Nov. 4, but I did get to feel like I was part of the excitement for a short time as I photographed fans boarding trains early that morning in Elburn and Geneva.

“Opportunity is knocking…”

I’ll be honest with you I have always been a planner and my best decisions have always been after careful consideration and a great deal of thought. So, when it came time to think about retirement I used this same approach. I knew all about Oak Crest and even had some experience when seventeen years ago my husband Bill spent his last days in the capable and caring hands of the Oak Crest nursing staff. I was so impressed that I knew then and there that when the time came I would make my own home at Oak Crest. So, I had the easy part done. I knew where I wanted to be, I just had to decide the when. Keep in mind that in my planning the Margie M big move was still a couple of years in the distance. Well, as fate would have it I decided to take some time oulton when my children were home to stop in for a visit. Call it fate or divine intervention but on that day the perfect apartment, in the best location with the loveliest view had just become available. It was at that moment I just knew that opportunity was knocking and I didn’t want to miss out. My advice to you is that if you already know the where; then the when could be right now! There really is no better time than today to see all that Oak Crest has to offer.

Superb camouflage coloration combined with strong raptorial forelegs and toxic saliva make the ambush bug a formidable predator of insects visiting fall flowers.

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto use to inject a potent combination of compounds that both paralyze and predigest the hapless prey. They then insert those same mouthparts to slurp their meal – not unlike drinking a protein shake through a straw.

Awesome, in a macabre yet wondrous way.

Frankly, I’d welcome an ambush bug just about anywhere, except the nursery tank of the grasshoppers we’ve been trying to propagate for years.

Now is as good a time as any to mention that this turn of events was completely my fault. With our prevailing mild temperatures has come an extended growth and blooming period for many of our local wildflowers. Hoping to supplement the baby lubbers’ diet of romaine lettuce, apple slices, rolled oats and dog kibble with some fresh asters – plants that also provide sturdy stalks for climbing – I’d gotten into the habit of clipping a few stems every day and placing them in the lubber tank.

A really cool caterpillar that looked an awful lot like a bird dropping came in by accident one day. Rather than taking its appearance as a warning to check for other possible hitchhikers, I

LUTHERAN

instead took its picture.

If I’d chosen to examine the leaves, or looked at the seed heads a little closer, I might have realized sooner that the caterpillar wasn’t the only uninvited guest. But, no, I just watched, blithely unaware, as the tiny hoppers frolicked amid the jungle gym of greenery – mere centimeters from the deadly but unseen predator.

Things could have been different, too, if the ambush bug had a little more luck on his side. Male Phymata are distinctly smaller than females and will often piggyback upon one and help themselves to a meal she has captured. Maybe, just maybe, I would have been able to spot a twosome (over even a threesome, as these bugs aren’t shy) hanging out on an aster bloom.

The predator may have one other wrinkle to contend with: Adult lubbers are known to exude a toxic defense chemical that’s pretty effective against vertebrate predators. I don’t know if lubber nymphs do the same nor whether ambush bugs are susceptible.

For now, my plan is to wait and see what happens. I’ve got a hunch that the stronger lubbers will prevail while the weaker ones succumb to the strength and guile of little Phymata.

There’s just one problem: His camouflage is so complete, I can’t find him anywhere.

Whoops.

“Whoops!”

That one-word exclamation was all I could muster when I realized what I’d done.

The mistake, though small by human measures, was of great magnitude for my young charges – a whole bunch of bouncing baby eastern lubber grasshoppers. Over the past few days I’d seen them through eclosion – the fancy word for hatching – and had watched protectively as they’d shed their first exoskeletons, eaten their first solid food and taken their first hops.

Oh, sure, we had a few bumps along the way. I accidentally squished one with a book. And I had to rescue three others that got stuck on some tape on the lid of their enclosure. But by and large we were about to declare our latest attempt at grasshopper-rearing a success.

Then it happened.

Or, rather, HE happened.

An ambush bug of the genus Phymata appeared, seemingly out of nowhere.

Bugs don’t have lips so they can’t smile, but if they did, I’m sure this guy would have been grinning from antenna to antenna. We found him lurking in the shadows at the bottom of the cage, the insect equivalent of a kid in a candy store or – more accurately – a fox in a hen house.

Ambush bugs, as their name suggests, are predators that take their arthropod prey by surprise. Their intricate coloration allows them to blend in amid the leaves and flowers where they lie in wait for their quarry, while enlarged forelimbs let them hold on with a powerful death grip.

Like their larger cousins the assassin bugs, they possess piercing and sucking mouthparts that they

Boost home appeal, chances of selling with successful staging SPONSORED BY

There’s more to selling a home than putting a sign out front.

Top real estate websites say successful staging can be the key to boosting your home’s appeal and the chances of selling it quickly.

Why is staging so important? It brings cohesiveness and style to a room that can relate to potential buyers.

Real estate experts on Realtor.com suggest staging bedrooms to convey comfort, relaxation and spaciousness with soft, neutral tones and removing all the furniture other than a bed and dresser. Consider investing in new linens and throw pillows, and clear away clutter, shoes and photos from around the room. Make the closet seem larger by removing half the wardrobe.

SM-CL0408949

For the bathrooms, replace old fixtures and clean mold and dirt from tiles and shower doors. Hang towels that match the bathroom’s color scheme and add spa-like accessories such as candles and soaps.

But above all else, make sure to clean, clean, clean the house from top to bottom.

Buyers have to imagine themselves living in your home, and they will have a hard time picturing themselves living in a dirty house.

Remove mold and mildew, scour away lime stains left by hard water, clean windows inside and out, steam carpets, and wash all linens and curtains, and dust the shades.

Smokers and pet owners should be especially vigilant about eradicating those odors.

An added bonus to staging your home?

It helps with the packing process, which inevitably involves streamlining for a move.

Staging also works for vacant homes.

Experts in the field say staging key rooms can make for better showing appeal, shorter market time and a higher price.

Parade, which steps off at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 26. This popular parade on Main Street features more than 60 entries, all decked out in lights.

“Downtown St. Charles offers city-like amenities with suburban convenience all year long, and the holidays are no exception,” said Sawicki, who encourages people to include downtown in their holiday plans. “In addition to holiday shopping, downtown St. Charles has many options for making holiday meals and parties stand out, with specialty food, dessert and wine shops.

Plus, the city has a great nightlife, with two live theaters and a wide variety of restaurants, perfect for a special night out.”

Whether spending the day or spending the evening, downtown St. Charles offers an authentic holiday experience that can’t be missed.

bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – The Kane County Board voted to rescind its March 8 denial of a controversial petition to put an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center in a former boys school near Campton Hills.

The board’s vote on Nov. 8 sent the petition, from Maxxam Partners LLC, back to the county’s Zoning Board of Appeals to begin the process again, officials said.

Village President Harry Blecker spoke out against starting the process again. Campton Hills and other local officials stood in opposition to the petition when it was heard late last year and earlier this year.

“I am here today to ask you not to reconsider [the] petition, Glenwood Academy/Maxxam Partners,” Blecker said. “Unless there are material changes to this petition that the village of Campton Hills has not been made aware of, the facts remain the same.

The Zoning Board [of Appeals] has denied. The Development Committee has denied and this County Board has denied.”

The nearest hospital is more than 25 minutes away from this location on

a two-lane country road with no shoulders and steep drop-offs, Blecker said.

This creates a dangerous situation if an ambulance is called to the facility, he said.

“There was additional evidence … related to the number of emergency calls, the detrimental impact of this facility would have on the community as a whole,” Blecker said.

“As elected officials, it is our duty to vote in the best interests of the community and not be bullied by threats of lawsuits,” Blecker said. “Again, I strongly urge you not to reconsider this petition.”

Board member Kurt Kojzarek, R-Gilberts, said the Americans with Disabilities Act requires the county to give accommodations to the applicant to reintroduce the petition with modifications.

Under the act, the applicant was allowed to reintroduce the petition earlier than the 12 months normally required to reintroduce a petition, he said.

“The request was to allow them to reintroduce the petition with modifications,” Kojzarek said. “We felt it was a reasonable accommodation to introduce a modified petition a little early.”

Maxxam Partners had sought a special-use permit to convert the former Glenwood School for Boys, at 41W400 Silver Glen Road, into a 120-bed private-pay, luxury treatment center.

Trial set for Sugar Grove man accused of child sexual assault

By BRENDA SCHORY

bschory@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – The trial for a Sugar Grove man who was indicted on multiple charges of felony predatory criminal sexual assault of a child was scheduled for March 13.

Noel F. Buhay, 49, was charged in 2013 with sexually assaulting a boy who was 7 at the time, and then in 2014, he was additionally charged with sexually assaulting another boy who was 10 at the time, court records show.

The court is treating them as companion cases but proceeding to trial on the 2014 case first.

Buhay’s attorney Michael Riedy and assistant state’s attorneys Lori Schmidt and Andrew Whitfield sparred over legal issues connected with the

case Nov. 15.

Riedy sought to be able to impeach the honesty of the victim in the case, identified in court records as R.P., who was 10 at the time of the alleged offense but is now Noel F. Buhay 22 years old.

A foster child, R.P. lived with Buhay from January to May 2004 when he was removed after asserting he was kicked and punched by Buhay on May 19 or 20, Riedy said.

State investigators could not find evidence of bruises, and R.P. later reported that the abuse was sexual, Riedy said.

Kane County Circuit Court Judge D.J. Tegeler ruled that R.P. could be questioned but that Riedy had to follow rape shield rules, which precludes him

Sugar Grove reports 12 more motor vehicle burglaries

By TARAH THORNE

tthorne@shawmedia.com SUGAR GROVE – Twelve motor vehicle burglaries were reported in Sugar Grove between Oct. 28 and 29.

This comes after 10 burglaries were reported Oct. 14 in the same town, according to police reports.

The most recent burglaries occurred in the 100 block of Arbor Avenue; 200 block of Bastian Drive; zero to 100 block of Meadows Drive; 100 block of Neil Road; 100 block of Calkins Drive; 200 block of Maple Street; 100 block of Cross Street; 100 block of Snow Street; and 100 block of Joy Street, reports stated.

All of the vehicles burglarized during those three dates were left unlocked overnight, Sugar Grove Police Chief Pat Rollins said, noting that the burglaries occurred between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.

Items most recently taken included an iPod, Beats headphones, mini cigars, sunglasses, a laptop, wallets with credit cards, phone chargers, a Garmin GPS, pills, loose change, gift

Recent burglary locations n 100 block of Arbor Avenue n 200 block of Bastian Drive n Zero to 100 block of Meadows Drive n 100 block of Neil Road n 100 block of Calkins Drive n 200 block of Maple Street n 100 block of Cross Street n 100 block of Snow Street n 100 block of Joy Street cards and a Samsung cellphone, reports stated.

Rollins said the Sugar Grove Police Department is “working vigorously pursuing some individuals” who are believed to be in connection with the burglaries.

“We are following up with the victims as well,” he said.

Rollins said multiple police agencies in northern Illinois have been dealing with the same motor vehicle burglary issue.

“It’s widespread,” he said.

from asking questions about other sexual activity.

Tegeler also ruled that a text message R.P. sent to Buhay could be explored, noting that earlier court filings show R.P. used Google Voice and that the words that came out in the text were not what he said.

“R.P. told [an investigator] that he said, ‘I will not lie about what you did to me,’” Tegeler said.

The Google Voice translation turned the “not” into “n.” in the text, Tegeler said.

Tegeler set Buhay’s trial to start March 13.

George Acosta, representing R.P., said each time a continuance is granted, his client’s life, emotional state and schedule are disrupted.

“He has lost a job he just started a

month ago,” Acosta said, referring to the trial that was to have begun Nov. 14 but is now continued to March.

Tegeler said he was aware of the impact to the victim but that he granted the continuance because Buhay’s attorneys needed more time to prepare.

A Kane County grand jury indicted Buhay in December 2015 on 37 counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, three counts of indecent solicitation of a child and one count of indecent solicitation of a child under age 18 to perform an act of sexual penetration, all felonies, in the case of the victim identified as J.H. The grand jury also indicted Buhay in June 2014 on four felony counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, in the case of the victim identified as R.P.

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.

As the dust is settling after the Nov. 8 election, Rob Russell said he has big plans for serving another four years as the Kane County coroner.

Russell, a Republican, defeated his Democratic challenger, Tao Martinez. It was a second contest for them.

Russell also beat Martinez four years ago.

“The first thing we need to do is finish up this union contract,” Russell said. “There’s only eight people in the office and only six in the union. … It’s a fair contract. It’s the same as what other divisions and offices have gotten. My fear is if we don’t act on it quickly it will go to arbitration and the county will lose more than what it currently is.”

Russell said the arbitration meeting is set for March.

Another goal is to establish a coroner’s foundation in order to fund para-coroner activities, Russell said.

He said he is basing it on the one they have at the Richland County Coroner’s Office in South Carolina.

“It’s a charity with a 501c3 with its

but this would expand the coroner’s office’s outreach for events such as mock proms and National Night Out, he said.

Another goal would be to have a new coroner’s office, he said.

“Not a Taj Mahal, but new is actually cheaper than trying to retrofit something,” Russell said. “That is up to the County Board to decide, but what I’ll be asking for is a better, larger facility where employees can take showers and have a locker room. When they come back from a call, there is nowhere to shower.”

Russell said a new facility also could offer a large multipurpose room that could host trainings.

“The last four coroners have been saying this – that we need a new building – but the board has not acted upon it,” Russell said. “These are things that need to get accomplished, and I am going to press forward.”

The county owns land near the sheriff’s office on Route 38, Russell said, where there would be room to build a new coroner’s building.

“I think they need a new garage at the sheriff’s office, so why not build them all together? Russell said. “It’s a fiscally responsible way to do it.”

Kane County sees new record for voter turnout Clerk’s office: 69 percent of registered voters in county cast ballot during election

By TARAH THORNE

tthorne@shawmedia.com Kane County officials have reported record-high voter turnout for the Nov. 8 general election.

“More people voted in this election than in any of the previous elections, going back to 1980,” Kane County Clerk John Cunningham said.

According to the Kane County Clerk’s Office website, 69 percent of 246,343 registered voters in Kane County cast a ballot in this election.

Cunningham said 27 percent of Kane County voters went to the polls prior to Election Day or voted by mail.

“Early voting was very high,” Cunningham said.

Kane County voter turnout for the March 15 primary election was 41 percent, records show.

The Kane County Election Commission, which tabulates votes for Aurora residents in portions of Kane, Kendall and Will counties, reported a 60 percent voter turnout this general election. About 58 percent of registered Kane County voters cast a vote through the Aurora Election Commission on or before Nov. 8, Executive Director Linda Fechner said.

Fechner said 20 percent of Aurora Election Commission voters cast their ballot early.

“Voter turnout was very high for recent years,” Fechner said. “We thought it was fantastic. Voting went very

With unofficial results showing that Russell got 98,414 votes to Martinez’s 88,991, the coroner said it is a pretty clear indication that Kane County voters like the job he is doing.

“A lot of people think I’m doing a good job,” Russell said. “They like the stability and want me to press on – not sit back and collect a check and not cause problems.”

Martinez did not return a voicemail message seeking comment.

In other races, County Board members who retained their seats according to unofficial results were Michael Kenyon, R-South Elgin; Brian Dahl, D-North Aurora; Susan Starrett, R-North Aurora; and Drew Frasz, R-Elburn.

Kenyon said he could not have retained his seat for a fourth term without support from his friends Rob and Susan Russell, Ellen Nottke and Ken Shepro.

“And the friends who went door to door with me,” Kenyon said. “It was certainly a pleasure to work with them all.”

The race was a rematch of 2012 when Kenyon first defeated Jennifer Barconi, a South Elgin trustee.

Unofficial totals show Kenyon had 4,098 votes to Barconi’s 3,916, a differ-

ence of 182 votes.

“I have to congratulate Mike on a good race,” Barconi said. “I hope he takes into account what the voters are faced with. As I walked the district, a lot are financially strapped. I hope that he walked and listened. ... I hope he will be more out there, be more engaged.”

There also was a close race between Starrett and her Democratic challenger Todd Zies. Starrett won with 5,702 votes to Zies’ 5,228, a difference of 474 votes, according to unofficial results.

Zies vowed to stay involved in politics, despite the loss.

“I got an awful lot of Republicans voting for me,” Zies said. “Running against an incumbent is generally difficult. ... To only miss it by less than 500 votes tells me I did run a nice, clean race, and I’m proud of the race I ran and proud to have an opportunity to be part of the process.”

Zies said that even though he lost, “I felt I still won because I gained a lot of knowledge out of it. I got to meet so many nice people. It was wonderful.”

For Starrett, her win made her thankful to the voters “that I should represent them again.”

“To me, they were saying I was doing an excellent job – and I thanked them for that,” Starrett said. “And I will continue to work hard and make them proud.”

McConnaughay’s council draws participation from 6 area high schools KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com

ELGIN – In a districtwide effort to promote youth participation in the state’s legislative process, state Sen. Karen McConnaughay, R-St. Charles, hosted 57 students from six area high schools on Nov. 9 during her Youth Advisory Council.

“I was so impressed by the students’ level of awareness of their local government activity and the challenges down in Springfield,” McConnaughay said in a news release. “Among the issues brought up, the most frequent were the sky-high costs of higher ed-

ucation, K-12 common core standards and the area’s inflated property taxes.

It’s encouraging to see that kids in our community are not only interested in learning more about the inner-workings of their government, but that they are aware of some of the significant issues facing our region and our state.”

The students were selected by their principals and teachers to take part in the civics program; participating high schools included St. Charles East, St. Charles North, Harry D. Jacobs, Harvest Christian Academy, Hampshire and Huntley. The day consisted of group discussions and speaker sessions, as well as team pre-

7 things to think about when you’re considering selling your home SPONSORED BY

Are you ready for a larger home? How about a home in a more desirable location?

If you answer yes to most of the following questions, you may be ready to move.

Have you built substantial equity in your current home?

Check with your lender to learn how much you’ve paid. You won’t have built much equity during the first years of a mortgage – at the beginning, payments are comprised mostly of interest. If you’ve owned your home for five years or longer, you may have significant gains.

Has your financial situation changed?

If your income increases, you may be able to afford higher mortgage payments. If it decreases, consider downsizing.

Have you outgrown your neighborhood?

The neighborhood you pick for your first home might not be the place you want to stay. You may wish to be closer to your job, or to live in a more preferable school district.

Are there reasons why you can’t remodel?

Maybe your property isn’t large enough for an addition, or maybe your municipality won’t allow you to build upward. If remodeling isn’t feasible, moving may be your best option.

Are you comfortable moving in the current housing market?

If your market is hot, your home may sell for top dollar – quickly. At the same time, the home you buy may be more expensive. If your market is slow, it may take longer to find a buyer, but your new home will be favorably priced. Ask your real estate professional what they see happening locally.

Are interest rates attractive?

Low rates help you buy “more” home and make it easier to find a buyer.

Is it difficult to manage your current home?

sentations on policy.

Prior to the group discussion, four local government leaders were invited to talk to the council: Keith Brown, former chief judge of Kane County; Don Kramer, Kane County sheriff; Rep. Anna Moeller, 43rd District; and Joe McMahon, Kane County state’s attorney.

“Each of our speakers represents an admirable example of a community leader and mentor,” McConnaughay said. “Their passion for governing and policy is inspiring. It’s my hope that after today the students view public service in a more informed light.”

To put the students’ knowledge

of government to practice, McConnaughay challenged the group to work in teams to write and present a legislative policy to the council. After team discussion, they selected topics ranging from balancing the state budget and fixing school funding, to violence prevention and common core. At the conclusion, they presented solutions to their topics, and the top three policies were then called to a council vote.

In the spring, McConnaughay will host the students at the State Capitol in Springfield, where they will participate in their own mock legislative hearing, enabling them to experience the government process firsthand.

ROBERT ALAN POPECK

Robert (Bob) Alan Popeck, of Batavia, IL, joined our Lord and Savior on November 5, 2016.

Born in Chicago in 1936, Bob and his family resided in Cicero before buying a small farm in Batavia, IL. Bob loved farming and this instilled in him a life-long interest in collecting farm-related antiques. Batavia became a place that Bob would love and call home for the remainder of his life.

Bob leaves behind his devoted wife, Francine

McGuire-Popeck; his oldest Son, Bob, Jr.; and Granddaughters, Meredith and Mallory; his youngest Son, Kevin and Wife Lisa and four Step- Grandchildren; his Brothers, Charles and Wife Karen, and Terry and Wife Kathy; Nieces, Nephews, a Great-Niece and Great-Nephews; many In-Laws and friends; and his beloved dog, Fargo, all who loved him dearly.

He is preceded in death by his Father, Charles; and Mother, Bess; Daughter, Holly; and Daughter-In-Law, Holly.

Upon graduation from Batavia High School in 1954, Bob enlisted in the U.S. Navy, where he served on the USS Des Moines and in China Lake, CA. Bob worked for the City of Batavia for 48-years, starting his career in 1960 with the Fire Department. He then moved to the Police Department in 1963, where he rose to the rank of Chief. One of many notable achievements during his police career was the creation of the Tri Com Dispatch Center which greatly advanced handling of emergency calls within the Tri-Cities. In 1981, Bob joined the City’s Administration staff where he served until his retirement in 2008. During this time he initiated a project called “Bringing ‘Em Home”, which brought back restored Batavia-manufactured windmills to Batavia’s skyline. Along with wife Francine, he led the effort to host The International Windmillers’ Trade Fair in Batavia in 1996 and 2012. Batavia’s windmill industry was given landmark status by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) due to Bob’s efforts.

Bob was known throughout town as “Mr. Batavia” and “Windmill Bob” because of his dedication to Batavia and its windmill history. He was also highly involved in many Batavia organizations as well as the Congregational Church of Batavia and was given the honor of Batavia Citizen of The Year for 2007.

Visitation and services to honor the life of Bob Popeck will be held at the Congregational Church of Batavia, 21 S. Batavia Avenue, Batavia, IL, on Saturday, November 19, 2016. Visitation will begin at 8:30 AM, until the time of service. A memorial service will follow at 11:00 AM at the church. Interment will take place at West Batavia Cemetery, followed by a Memorial Luncheon at the Church.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the following: The Batavia Depot Museum Expansion Project c/o The Batavia Historical Society; The Congregational Church of Batavia; The Batavia Windmill Maintenance Fund c/o The City of Batavia; or Holly’s Wish, a foundation to enhance children’s educational opportunities, created in honor of Bob’s Daughter-In-Law Holly Popeck.

ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING

BY TERRY AND KIM KOVEL KOVELS.COM Danish modern chairs were offered in stores in the U. S. in the early 1950s.

The Scandinavian designs were inspired by earlier furniture, the 18th-century English chair, a Chinese Ming dynasty chair, a Japanese director’s chair. Many of the modern chairs were made of handcarved curved wooden pieces joined with dovetails to make a comfortable back, arms, seat and sides. Teak, oak, rosewood and light-colored woods were used with fabric, leather or caned seats.

Hans Wegner of Denmark created his most famous chair in 1949. It is now known as “The Chair.” It was made and sold by Hansen/Knoll company for many years. “The Chairs” were chosen for John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon in the first-ever presidential televised debate in 1960. One of “The Chairs,” made in about 1969 and featuring a leather seat, the Knoll label and Hansen stamps, sold in 2016 for $610. Later versions of this iconic chair are available in shops and shows today. *** Q: I bought some Noritake Azalea china at a local estate sale because I thought it was interesting and it was reasonably priced. It’s marked with an “M” in a wreath. There are more than 100 pieces, including service for 12 with one coffee cup missing. I don’t plan to use the dishes. Do you have any suggestions where I can sell them?

A: Noritake porcelain was made in Japan by Nippon Toki Kaisha after 1904.

Azalea pattern dinnerware was made

by Noritake as premiums for the Larkin Co., a soap manufacturer in Buffalo, N. Y., from about 1915 to 1932. The letter “M” in a wreath was a mark used by Morimura Brothers, a distributor in New York City. Azalea is a popular pattern and sells online on several sites. You also can sell them to a matching service like replacements.com. Sets of china don’t

sell well unless they are complete. Retail prices online for single pieces are often high. You will get a third or less of that when selling them. *** Q: My husband owned an auto-parts store and has just retired. We have several old advertising signs and lots of old car parts still in boxes we need to sell. Who would be interested in items like these?

A: Advertising signs sell well at advertising auctions. There are many auctions that have recently sold advertising items online. There also are online sites that sell auto parts. Antiques shops and flea-market dealers also sell old advertising signs. Car parts are a little harder. You might find a nearby car rally or car show and ask some of the participants. They might be interested in the boxes of parts. You also can advertise them in a local newspaper. *** Q: I have a brass tea set that has sat unused for many years. Should I polish it or leave the natural patina?

A: You should polish your brass tea set with a commercial brass polish. If it’s heavily tarnished or corroded, take it to a professional. Some brass has been lacquered to prevent tarnish and should not be polished. Polishing damages the lacquer. If the lacquer is peeling, you should go to a professional restorer. *** Q: Should I loan a number of my antiques for a fundraising event? They want me to set up my exhibit and leave it for two weeks. I would like to do it, but I am concerned about security and other problems. What should I worry about? None of the pieces are extremely valuable, but they are among my favorites and some are even family heirloom.

A: There is always a risk when you exhibit your collection. The exhibit should be in a secure building with a 24hour security guard or electronic system.

Security usually is good during a show, but during setup and after show hours,

"The Chair," a famous and comfortable chair, sold for $610. It is one of the 200 designs for chairs created by Hans Wegner of Denmark. there are people who can get into the room. Before you pack the items, take pictures and list every item with your estimated value. Be sure the value is seen only to estimate insurance needed.

Never advertise the value of your collections. Make sure there is a barrier between the exhibit and the public, perhaps shelves behind a large table, or a locked cabinet. Don’t exhibit any posters or prints in a sunny window. The sun will cause damage. Make sure the pieces are not remounted or altered. Decide before the show how the collection will be packed and returned. A non-profit show may be run by people with no idea of the cost of old things. We loan pieces to teach the public about the past and the joys of collecting, but we had a sundrenched poster fade to unreadable, a clever advertising sign stolen during a show and a figurine come back missing a hand. *** Tip: Porcelain and stoneware can be washed, but it is best to hand wash the pieces and not to use the dishwasher. *** Sign up for our free weekly email, “Kovels Komments.” Terry Kovel writes about the latest news, tips, questions and her views of the market.

The election, Cubs and Mill Race Inn

The most bizarre and divisive presidential campaign in history is over. The historic ascension of the Cubs to world champs has reached its summit. The Mill Race Inn has been trucked away, its grounds again smooth as the carp-filled backwater that slowly flowed beside it.

What does the nexus of these seminal events mean to our community? Is each a terminus too absolute to transcend? Or do they promise a transformation and resurgence of hope?

We slogged through summer and fall hearing news about scurrilous nonpresidential behavior. Each camp fended off accusations, surely wondering how much dreck voters could stand before going Mercutio, shouting, “A plague on both your parties!”

President-elect Donald Trump now has the awesome challenge of building something far more monumental than any five-star hotel or glitzy casino – a small cabin with welcome mat, warm fire and candles in the windows

RIVER TOWN CHRONICLES Rick Holinger welcoming travelers in.

Meanwhile, the miraculous Cubs took the World Series title with the seventh game of the series, the Thrilla in Clevelandia. The rain delay buoyed the boys’ spirit and brought refreshing water to the North Siders’ curse-brought drought. In grand Arthurian mythic archetype, the cruel spell on a barren wasteland is broken by a knight of impeccable purity and innocence; desiring neither riches nor fame, he wants only to do his best.

The 2016 Cubs excelled not only in talent, but soul, the immaculate joy of their play nowhere more evident than on Ben Zobrist’s face, his smile beneficently radiant, when they got the last out.

A third event touches all who

share a history in Kane County. One morning in early fall while driving to school, I saw the end had begun for the iconic Mill Race Inn. A huge yellow CAT sat like a steel triceratops beside the window-rich white façade, his metallic claw ready to tear apart millions of memories.

My wife, Tia, and I, late 1970s arrivals to the Tri-Cities, often found ourselves on Friday nights comparing teacher stories over the basement’s carvery menu. Earlier still, our Goldwater-voting parents made the restaurant a destination, her parents driving from Glen Ellyn for Sunday fare, my mother coming from Chicago to meet Winnetka friends at The Little Traveler, then lunching on the river.

To see the inn ground down to its shell brought the heavy weight of loss, the knowledge that having a beer and food with family while feeding pieces of bun to open-mouthed carp was past.

What will spring up in its place? A

new generation of dining, enhancing even more the allure of Island Park and the river?

Will Donald Trump, the first nonpolitician president, bring the nation a fresh perspective and new energy no insider could achieve?

What if the Cubs’ 2017 season resurrects the wonder that permeated even a fair-weather Cubs fan like myself to new heights?

Its triteness aside, as Tilda Swinton’s Yul Brynner-lookalike character in “Dr. Strange” intones, “Death is what makes life meaningful.”

I can live with that.

LETTERS I love the Cubs

To the editor: “I Love A Ball Game” I love the excitement of a ballgame, I love all the players, know them by name.

I love just sitting in the fresh air, Watching a game with not even a care.

Where age and sex doesn’t matter at all, Where people scramble to catch a foul ball.

I love all the vendors who sell the beer, If I want Cracker Jack or Red Hots, they’re always near.

I’m thrilled when our players make the hall of fame, Such as Ernie Banks, just to mention a name.

I just love to watch our team playing ball, Hey, hey, I love the Cubs ... most of all.

As true in September 1977 when this was written as it is now.

LETTERS

I would just like to proudly state that I voted in my first presidential election. I got to repeatedly turn a dial to vote for candidates, and – in the end – I walked away with an “I voted” sticker. With that little note out of the way, I’m here to talk about hiking. With this month being such a non-November month for weather, my two friends and I journeyed to Starved Rock recently on a gorgeous 60-degree day.

My two friends and I had planned on going hiking since early summer, but we never got around to it between all our busy schedules. As each month passed and it got deeper into fall, we all just assumed the colder weather would set in and we would never get a chance to go hiking. Fast forward, and with November still being just a sweatshirt-worthy type of month, the three of us figured out a day when we all had nothing going on to travel to Starved Rock.

We began our day at 8 in the morning, when we went to Cracker Barrel for fried apples and some biscuits and gravy. Being a Sunday morning, we had to wait around 20 minutes before we got seated at our table. With an entire store to browse, we were kept busy just glancing at Christmas decorations and stuffed animals. Once we got seated, we devoured some comfort food and got back on the road. Nearly two hours

BEFORE THE DIPLOMA Denise Cartina

It was a lovely time just getting outside and exploring, enjoying some fresh air and being surrounded by good friends. If you ask me, everyone should take advantage of the perfect weather now because who knows what it will be like in a month or two? later we arrived at out destination.

We didn’t get lost once driving to Starved Rock. I’d just like to take in this moment right now and process how the three of us managed to pull that off. When we arrived at Starved Rock, we had to park in the overflow parking lot, barely finding a spot.

It was clear that although it was November, the beautiful weather had people coming out in droves.

Starved Rock was most likely way more crowded than it normally is for November, to say the least.

There were families, couples and an

enormous number of dogs packed along the hiking trails.

The day involved the three of us exploring various paths, so we basically had to walk up and down stair after stair. Climbing rocks was also a huge part of our adventurous day. We climbed steep areas that I didn’t know I had the bravery in me to climb. I also walked away at the end of the day with dozens of new photos. Some were of flowers and trees, and others were of my friends and I posing and being silly.

The entire day was perfect, at least for me. I woke up and ate Cracker Barrel for breakfast, I got to jam out with my friends in the car as we listened to some danceable songs, and the hiking adventure was a success. It was a lovely time just getting outside and exploring, enjoying some fresh air and being surrounded by good friends. If you ask me, everyone should take advantage of the perfect weather now because who knows what it will be like in a month or two?

Hiking at Starved Rock State Park

To the editor: My conservative colleagues in social debate love to lay the tragic wasteland of America’s inner cities at the hands of Democrats, who – they claim – have ruled those sorrowful inhabitants for a century. Vote for candidates “not espousing the same drivel” and all those drugs, unemployment, guns and crime will begin to recede, they claim.

Nonsense. The folks pointing the finger are the ones in state legislatures and Congress refusing to spend a dollar to rebuild America, particularly our economically ravaged inner cities. They’re motivated by greed, heartlessness and – at worst – racism, often reveling in the festering shame of America.

Since he’s looking for a new gig next January, I’d like to see Mr. Obama lend his name to the rebuilding of America’s ghettos in the same spirit of self interest rightly understood that motivated the Marshall Plan of 1948. Named after its prime architect, Gen. George C. Marshall, the Marshall Plan invested $12 billion ($120 billion in today’s dough) to rebuild 18 Western European countries devastated by World War II. It was self interest rightly understood in that the investment was a pittance of the cost to allow Western Europe to collapse into chaos.

What better legacy for the man who gave us the audacity to hope for an America that could rebound from malaise of near economic collapse, criminal military adventurism and refusal to address the 40 million shut out of a heartless health care system designed only for the well off.

An Obama Plan for America’s ghettos is not reparations, not welfare, not free stuff and not paternalism. It is, in the best tradition of the Marshall Plan, American self interest rightly understood.

Kaneland John Stewart Elementary School fifth-grader Abby Graham reads a poem during a Veterans Day ceremony Nov. 11 at the Elburn school.

John Stewart Elementary honors local veterans

By SUSAN ONEILL

editorial@kcchronicle.com ELBURN – Local veterans were honored Nov. 11 at Kaneland John Stewart Elementary School in Elburn. After a breakfast for the 24 veterans who attended, students, teachers and parents gathered at the flagpole outside the school to express their gratitude for their service.

The veterans introduced themselves, including information about their branch of service as well as where and when they served.

“We look forward to this every year,” Elburn American Legion Post 630 commander and U.S. Air Force veteran Dave Dickinson said in his opening remarks. “We especially thank the parents who come out to recognize the contributions our vets have made.”

Several students read poems, including one called “Veterans Day” by Cheryl Dyson,

World War II veteran Jerry Lonigro of Elburn American Legion Post 630 attends a Veterans Day ceremony Nov. 11 at Kaneland John Stewart Elementary School in Elburn. recited by fifth-grader Abby Grams. A color guard from Elburn Boy Scout Troop 107 conducted the presentation of the flag. A group of Kaneland High School madrigal singers performed “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Most of the singers – high school seniors – had at-

tended Kaneland John Stewart Elementary School.

Dickinson said all veterans deserve the recognition of our country for protecting and defending our way of life. He said the families of the veterans also serve as their lives are significantly impacted by their

family member’s commitment.

U.S. Marine Corps veteran Rick Mathys represented a proud family tradition of service in the armed forces, wearing his grandfather’s dog tags from his service in World War II. Lloyd DaMask, who served as a Marine in the Korean War, expressed his gratitude for the recognition he and his fellow vets received.

“It means a lot to me – right here,” he said, touching his heart.

DaMask also expressed a sentiment shared by a number of his fellow veterans about his service.

“I’d do it all over again,” he said.

Mark Krebbs, who served in the Army in the early 1970s in Okinawa, Japan, and was a teacher for 38 years before he retired, said he just has to look at the lives that his daughters and their families enjoy to know that it was “all worth it.”

“[To serve is] the greatest honor I’ve ever had,” he said.

Kaneland High School marching band members Dominic LaSalle and Alex Spence played taps before everyone sang “My Country, ’Tis of Thee” at the end the ceremony.

During an afternoon assembly, fourth-graders performed a selection of patriotic music, Girl Scout Troop 927 presented the flag and led the Pledge of Allegiance, and students read poetry. Veterans were honored with a song called “A Salute to the Armed Services.”

The Veterans Day events served a dual purpose, said Kaneland John Stewart music teacher Mary Kunstman, who organized the celebrations.

They were a way to honor the veterans, but they also were meant to emphasize to the students the importance of good citizenship and patriotism.

“It is our honor to have this celebration every year,” she said.

this is a way of modernizing to better meet everyone’s needs.”

Ideally, a new community center would open in Sugar Grove at a new location but one that’s smaller than the current site. It wouldn’t need to house staff. Bowe said they could work elsewhere.

“Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois would be looking to rent a space in a visible area but [with] smaller square footage than the existing building,” she said. “ The Long Range Property Task Force will be looking at areas throughout the council to establish the community centers. One could very possibly be in the Sugar Grove community.”

Such a community center likely would have a store, meeting room and small staff workspace. For larger training sessions, space would need to rented or session would need to take place at a camp property or program center.

“Much of our staff doesn’t need a working space and to maintain these older buildings is expensive,” Bowe said. “We’d rather be able to redirect our funds and create a better experience for the Girl Scouts. We believe that makes the most sense.”

SUGAR GROVE – The Sugar Grove Girl Scout troop will soon have to change how and where they operate.

The service center and council store at 200 New Bond St., Sugar Grove, located in the Prestbury subdivision, is being sold.

The center, which has a staff of 16, provides troops with a place for training, meetings, equipment purchase/ rental, uniforms, badges, cookies and other sale items, including camping supplies.

“This is news to me,” said Sugar Grove resident Megan Jones, leader of Daisy Troop 2099. “I was just there last week and set up our meeting schedule through May of next year.”

In September, the Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois’ board approved recommendations by its Long Range Property Planning Task Force that included the closure of three service centers in Sugar Grove, Freeport and Elgin.

In addition, the board approved the creation of community centers in place of the service centers. While the Sugar Grove property is going to be

put on the market, that doesn’t mean the village won’t ultimately get a new community center.

“I received a long email on Oct. 21, but I haven’t gotten around to reading all of it,” said Heidi Lendi, leader of Girl Scout Troop 1177. “Now that I’m looking at it, I see it says something about putting the building on the market discreetly without for sale signs next year. I’ve got a training there on Nov. 16, so I’ll probably find out more then.”

Having to go elsewhere for training and rentals may be less convenient, but the possibility of having to find another location to have troop meetings would present a larger dilemma.

Lendi doesn’t have her meetings at the service center, but Jones does and potentially would need to find a new location.

“When we first released some of the [information] to the membership, we received some calls and some people were panicking about selling the service centers,” said Meghan Bowe, marketing manager for the Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois. “The task force conducted a survey and determined what they thought was most important for the organization, and

Lindsey Hawkins

St. Charles North girls volleyball coach vide plenty of opportunities to learn.

“It’s just exciting because it’s an opportunity to grow as a coach,” Hawkins said. “It’s every coach’s dream to go to the AVCA Convention. I waited a long time to because it’s expensive, but it was kind of close to home this year so I was going to go anyway.

“I was just excited that I got to go at all.”

Hawkins will drive to Columbus on Dec. 13 and then will be in clinics and other sessions from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. the next five days, though she said there will be time set aside to attend the NCAA semifinals (Dec. 15) and championship (Dec. 17) matches as well as the AVCA All-American banquet.

The only downside will be choosing which speaking engagement by her volleyball idols she attends. Penn State associate head coach Salima Rockwell and Creighton head coach Kirsten Bernthal Booth are scheduled to speak at the same time.

“I’m going to be a sponge taking it all in and learning as much as I can,” Hawkins said. “It’s going to be an awesome time.”

This year, the Cubs have given us 103 reasons fall baseball was in the cards.

So, here’s to this season, this postseason, and all the seasons and postseasons to follow. You can take it all the way when you have the strength of your city behind you. This is the time, Cubs. Bring home that pennant!

With the postseason in full gear, Guyett, a prior state qualifier, did it again as she qualified for the state meet Nov. 18 and 19 in two individual events, as well as being part of two North relays that advanced. Guyett, the St. Charles Bank & Trust Athlete of the Week, caught up with Kane County Chronicle correspondent Chris Casey to talk about the season and her excitement for this weekend’s state tournament.

Casey: What was it like this season not having your sister (2016 North graduate Monica Guyett) on the team with you?

Guyett: Honestly, it was kind of rough

at the start. We were and are still very close. But as the season went on, I tried to put that in the back of my head and focus on the girls that are here and on the team now. I just wanted us to be the best we could this year and having the focus on that helped a lot.

Casey: I know you have been [to the state tournament] before, but what’s your excitement like for that atmosphere and everything?

Guyett: I’m always going to be nervous because it’s completely different than any other meet. That moment when you get on the block and it’s just silent, you definitely take everything in. Every year there’s nerves, but also a lot of excitement.

ST. CHARLES – Lindsey Hawkins already had plans to attend the American Volleyball Coaches Association Convention this year.

Now she has even more reason to go.

Hawkins, St. Charles North’s girls volleyball coach, was one of 10 coaches from across the country who were recently recognized by the AVCA Diversity Awards program. Hawkins and the nine other winners will be part of coaching education programming, mentoring, and networking events during the AVCA Convention Dec. 14-18 in Columbus, Ohio.

“It’s awesome and really humbling because I found out it was a couple of parents that nominated me,” Hawkins said. “I obviously feel grateful to them for thinking of me.”

The parents of senior Brenna Lannert nominated Hawkins for the honor. A news release from the AVCA shared part of what they wrote on the nomination form: “My daughter is not a star player on the team. In fact, she has spent a lot of time on the bench, but coach Hawkins makes a point to value all of her players. She regularly talks to them and writes them notes to recognize each of their unique qualities and contributions.” “[The AVCA] called to tell me about it, and it was pretty out of the blue,” Hawkins said. “I didn’t know [Lannert’s parents] did that. It was pretty much a surprise.”

Volleyball has always been a big part of Hawkins’ life, and attending the AVCA Convention is another step in her progression as a coach and mentor. The litany of clinics and other events at the convention will pro-

North Stars make waves on way to state

By CHRIS ROLLIN WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com

ST. CHARLES – Rob Rooney has coached a lot of great swimming teams, but he’s never had a team as young as this year’s squad at St. Charles North.

While the North Stars may be young, they’re also extremely talented, as they showed during the St. Charles North sectional meet on Nov. 12.

The North Stars won handily with 308.5 points, beating crosstown rival St. Charles East’s 244. Bartlett/Streamwood co-op was third with a 211.5 while the remaining nine teams finished far off in the distance.

Next up for the North Stars is the state meet at Evanston High School on Nov. 18 and 19.

“I haven’t had a team this young since the first year of the school and even then we had older kids,” Rooney said. “I was happy we got through [to state] what we wanted to get through.

We had a couple close calls.

You always do at this meet because nothing is perfect.”

St. Charles North’s Mallory Jump swims the 200-yard individual medley Nov. 12 during the sectional meet at North. Jump was part of the North Stars’ 11 state meet qualifiers.

It’s no surprise that junior Audrey Guyett, the elder North Star, led the way, winning the 200-yard freestyle (1:51.54) and 500 freestyle (4:58.75).

“My times were OK,” Guyett said. “I would’ve liked to do better on the relay at the end.”

Other individual winners for the North Stars included

freshman Megan Armstrong in the 100 backstroke (56.80) and sophomore Mallory Jump in the 100 butterfly (56.69).

Jump also qualified in the 200 individual medley (2:07.54) as did freshman Mary Kate Phillips in the 500 freestyle (5:05.57), sophomore Kayleigh Lewis in the 50 freestyle

(24.22) and sophomore Rachel Ponte in the 100 breaststroke (1:06.07).

The North Stars were rather impressive with their efforts on relays, winning all three of them.

Guyett, Ponte, Jump and Lewis won the 200 medley (1.45.95), Guyett, Sydney Maxwell, Ponte and Armstrong

won the 400 freestyle (3:30.75) and Ponte, Maxwell, Lewis and Jump won the 200 freestyle (1:35.82).

The relay team’s times in the 400 free and 200 free established pool records at St. Charles North.

“Their demeanor was pretty good all day, low key,” Rooney said. “They didn’t leave anything in the pool today but there are some things we have to clean up, the coachability and cleaning up the little things which we’ll work on now this week.”

The North Stars finished in third place at state last year, but their lineup is different with some new faces as some of the familiar ones that led the way at state last year are now in college.

“There isn’t going to be a margin of error [at state] so we have to be right on top of things,” Rooney said. “In Evanston it’s going to be a pretty cool meet, it always is. There’s a lot of energy up there, a tight environment. I’m excited for what’s in front of us.”

Depth key to slew of state berths for Saints

By CHRIS ROLLIN WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com

ST. CHARLES – Sarah Sandecki had Evanston, the site of the IHSA state swimming and diving finals, on her mind.

The St. Charles East senior was an alternate on the team’s 200-yard freestyle relay team last year so she had never qualified for state, but she’s stepped up this season and at the St. Charles North sectional on Nov. 12 she served as the relay’s anchor.

The Saints may have finished behind the relay teams from St. Charles North and Bartlett/Streamwood co-op, but their time of 1:37.89 was below the required 1:38.44 mandated by the IHSA to qualify for state.

“I’m pretty pumped because this is the first time I’ve made it to state,” Sandecki

St. Charles East’s Anna O’Malley swims the 100-yard butterfly on Nov. 12 during the sectional meet at St. Charles North. O’Malley earned state berths in two races as the Saints had seven athletes make state in eight events. said. “Since I was an alternate last year I really wanted to be a part of that experience. I’m just really excited right now.

We put in a lot of hard work and I’m just so happy to get to state.”

While the Saints fell short of winning the sectional, they qualified for state in eight events and a combined seven swimmers and divers move on to Evanston for the state finals on Nov. 18 and 19.

“We knew we were going to battle it out with Bartlett today and they looked good,” Saints head coach Joe Cabel said. “I think our depth was key for us today. That made the difference and the girls really had a great meet.”

Sophomore Lauren Carne got the Saints started with a strong effort in diving, winning the 1-meter with 349.95 points.

Junior Kayla Jones had the most success for the Saints.

She served on two qualifying relay teams and also qualified in the 200 individual medley (2:08.33) and 100 breaststroke (1:05.15).

Senior Amy Pearson and freshman Mary Jania both qualified in two events and each also helped a relay team move forward.

Pearson advanced in the 200 freestyle (1:54.82) and 500

freestyle (5:07.74) while Jania did so in the 200 individual medley (2:07.17) and 100 breaststroke (1:04.63).

Senior Anna O’Malley also qualified in the 100 butterfly (58.06).

Jones, Jania, O’Malley and senior Rachel Nagler helped the 200 medley relay (1:48.16) earn a spot at state.

“The girls really swam well today,” Cabel said. “They had a great meet at the right time.”

Apparently, success was brewing well before the meet started at 1 p.m.

“We had a great wake-up swim in the morning and everyone was so excited for the meet,” Sandecki said. “We were doing a lot of dancing and had a great team breakfast. We came in here real positive and really wanted to show what we’re capable of doing.”

The sponsorships and new spotter Josh Nelms, a CRA-JEGS all-star competitor, contributed to the success this season.

“He helped me out and we got a lot better as a [racing] team,” Kunert said of Nelms. “He helped us adjust during races and made me more confident. At new tracks I didn’t know, he gave us a chance to win every time.

“He coaches me and tells me the fast-

est line around the track.”

Next season Kunert will move up and race at a higher level on occasion – “It’s the same cars but 100 more laps,” he said – with the goal of reaching the CRA-ARCA series, where Braden and Coughlin do most of their racing, by 2018.

While horsepower and smart racing can lead to success on the track, there is a physical element to racing. Just as baseball and basketball players work

year-round to prepare for the season, Kunert does the same.

“I tend to run a lot to keep myself in shape so I can take the heat in a car that’s 110 degrees,” Kunert said. “I have a racing simulator at home that’s just like real racing, and I spend a lot of time in that.

“I’m usually running three times a week and in the simulator three times a week.”

Rosary swimming team on course for state repeat

By MATT LE CREN

editorial@kcchronicle.com AURORA – In Greek mythology, Athena was the goddess of wisdom.

Rosary’s swimming team knows Athena as the goddess of the backstroke.

Athena Ye burst onto the high school swimming scene in 2015 and won the state championship in the 100yard backstroke, helping the Beads win their fifth state team title.

“I wasn’t even expecting to win a title as a freshman individually, so that was a huge surprise to me,” Ye said.

“But I obviously knew that Rosary was a great team coming in freshman year.

“The individual title was a lot more of a surprise than the team success, but I enjoy the team success more.”

Ye has had plenty of both, and more should be coming at the state meet at

Evanston on Nov. 18 and 19.

Top-ranked Rosary rolled to the sectional title at Metea Valley on Nov. 12, racking up 267 points and qualifying all but one swimmer to state. Neuqua Valley was second with 228 points and Oswego East took third with 211.

“I think we’re all performing really great,” Ye said. “I think that the atmosphere is great here. There’s a lot of fans cheering us on.”

Those fans had plenty to cheer at the sectional, including another backstroke win by Ye, who timed a 57.49 to edge teammate and fellow sophomore Kathryn Mueller by .03.

“She was a little bit off her times from last year, but I think a lot of that is having all the success she did as a freshman and how exciting that was,” Rosary coach Bill Schalz said.

“This year it’s the first step of grinding through three days of swimming [at

the sectional and two days at state], so she did what she needed to do and we were good with that.”

As was Ye, who now has a target on her back.

“For sure, there is a lot more pressure for the defending champion,” Ye said. “It’s hard to get to the top, but it’s even harder to stay there and so I feel a lot of pressure.

“But I’ve been swimming for a long time so I can handle it.”

Ye does that by never losing her joy for the sport. “[Enjoying swimming] matters so much,” Ye said. “I know a lot of kids who get to age 13 or 14 and they just lose the drive to become better, so just loving the sport and never giving up on it is key.”

Rosary star Alexis Yager, the team’s only senior, makes sure the Beads stay focused on doing just that. The Ten-

nessee recruit, who is the two-time defending state champion in the 200 individual medley, brought her strong leadership skills to bear this fall.

“We’ve had a lot of talks at practice about how last year it was us and Lake Forest for the state title and now people are saying it’s all us,” said Yager, a Batavia resident. “So that doesn’t make us work as hard, but we got it down toward the end of the season. I sat the team down and said, ‘This is what we have to do to win.’”

Yager won the 200 IM at the sectional in 2:04.69 and the 100 breaststroke in 1:04.59, while sophomore Anne Tavierne captured the 200 freestyle in 1:51.09. “[Winning state] would be awesome,” Yager said. “It would definitely show that our hard work pays off. I’m glad I could be a captain of this amazing team.”

BATAVIA – Before he could legally drive on Illinois’ roadways, Austin Kunert already was behind the wheel.

The Batavia High School junior grew up watching NASCAR races with his family, and he got the itch to get behind the wheel after going to a dirt track race years ago.

“I asked my dad the first time if I could race and he said no,” Kunert said.

“I kept asking and asking until he finally said yes.”

Kunert got his start doing indoor gokart racing. He then transitioned to outdoor kart racing at the Kankakee Speedway. His 2016 season in the Champion Racing Association JEGS series was his best season to date.

After starting the season slow, Kunert notched five top-10 finishes in the final six races of the season.

In the final race of the year, the Winchester 100 on Oct. 7, Kunert placed second to Travis Braden, a student at West Virginia University. The strong finish in the final race vaulted Kunert into second in the final CRA-JEGS standings behind part-time NASCAR Truck Series racer Cody Coughlin, who is part of the Joe Gibbs Racing Development program.

“I had a lot of consistent finishes,” Kunert said.

Seniors set tone for St. Charles East’s memorable season

By CHRIS CASEY

editorial@kcchronicle.com PALATINE – “It hurts because it meant something. It hurts because we’re a family.”

St. Charles East coach Bryce Farquhar addressed his team for the first time this season after a loss and his words brought more emotion to a distraught Saints team that saw its season come to an end in a 10-6 loss to Palatine in a Class 8A quarterfinal game Nov. 12.

Farquhar knew his words weren’t going to change how his players felt after not getting to play another game together after winning their first 11 contests this season, but he tried to convince them that the emotion meant something.

“We’re where we are because of our seniors,” Farquhar said. “It’s the work ethic that they brought every day. Tonight’s not a night to reflect. [Palatine] is a good team, and they made some strong adjustments, but we felt like we gave ourselves a chance. We just couldn’t capitalize and that’s on me, not the guys.”

It looked like the perfect beginning for the Saints (11-1), who saw the game start a bit different than their previous playoff games. The usual win of the coin toss and a defer to the second half – putting its strong defense on the field first – took a turn as Palatine won the toss and elected to defer to start the game.

East took full advantage with its triple-option offense as quarterback Zach Mitchell led his team down the field on a 16-play, 88-yard drive that spanned 9:38. The march was capped by a 3-yard touchdown run by Nick Garlisch.

Little did Mitchell and the Saints know those would be the only points they would put on the board after the extra-point attempt was missed by Matt Burns.

Palatine took the lead on the second play of the second quarter on a 15-yard hookup from DJ Angelaccio to Johnny O’Shea, and a 27-yard field goal in the third quarter that was set up by a personal foul penalty gave the Pirates (12-0) a 10-6 lead.

Still, Mitchell believed his team could pull this one out, but it didn’t happen.

“When you spend your entire summer, four hours a day at school, waiting for it to pay off and you finally see it unravel in front of you, winning games, it’s special,” said Mitchell, who went over 100 rushing yards (114) for the second straight game. “But it also makes it hurt that much more when you get a bump in the road. ... It’s incredible, though. We had no one believing in us, but this incredible group believed in each other. Every single one of us would put everything on the line for each other and that’s what got us here.”

Karen Naess - For Shaw Media

St. Charles East’s Clayton Isbell looks for running room Nov. 12 during a Class 8A quarterfinal game against Palatine. East’s explosive running game was held in check as its memorable season came to an end in a 10-6 loss against the Pirates.

That same East defense that bent but didn’t break against New Trier in the second round did much of the same against the Pirates, playing a field position game in the second half. Palatine’s average starting position after halftime was its own 42, but the Saints defense yielded just three points.

As good as the Saints defense was in keeping Palatine from scoring, Palatine’s defense was up to the challenge, silencing a strong option attack after East’s first drive. After rushing for more than 300 yards in several games this season, East was held to just 183 yards. Aside from Mitchell’s 114 yards, no one reached more than 50 (sophomore fullback Justin Jett had exactly 50).

The Saints allowed just 200 total yards, while gaining 227.

“We played Saints football every single time we took the field this year,” junior linebacker Abe Swanson said.

“There was a different feeling around this year’s group. There was never a time where we thought we’d take the field for our last game. We always had that belief that it would keep going, you know.”

In a back-and-forth game in which both defenses would not budge, East found itself with one last chance. Starting from its 3-yard line with 2:50 to go, the Saints faced a situation in which Mitchell would have to throw.

He had proved several times he was capable of doing so, but with the Pirates playing loose coverage, it was hard for him to move the ball. “[Palatine] made adjustments better than any team we have played this season,” Mitchell said. “We needed to get our running game going, but we couldn’t tonight. We needed that little extra push tonight and didn’t have it, but that really doesn’t reflect the kind of team or season we had.”

Nothing about the season-ending result – a loss, a lack of consistent running game, and the realization that they wouldn’t be suiting up to take the field together again after tying school records for most wins and deepest playoff run – was familiar to this group of Saints.

As Farquhar said, getting that far meant something. Whether they had believers after a 4-5 season in 2015, the quarterfinal game was the end of more than one thing. It was the end of a run telling skeptics that St. Charles East football was back on the map.

“It started with our seniors from last year,” senior Justin Galante said.

“They gave us a tradition, something to believe in. The relationships with each other, the confidence in each other after the [St. Charles North] win, the Batavia win, it continued to grow and grow. ... [It] showed that this program is up there with the best around.”

AURORA – From nearly any vantage point, Rosary’s girls volleyball team had its best season ever this year.

Sure, there have been seasons with more wins, but this was the season the Royals broke through to win a sectional title after years of coming close to achieving but not quite reaching the feat.

“It was a good run for us. The sectional win was huge for the program,” head coach Rachel Fox said. “We’ve been working toward that for years.

It’s been a goal since I started and we always seemed to make it one step further.

“We’ve been taking small steps toward that, and we hoped for one more step.”

Gabrielsen complimented the play of his special teams, especially his penalty-killing unit.

“We have been really successful on our PK,” he said. “I think that stems from the fact we have very aggressive penalty killers out on the ice when we have to [go on the PK]. Our PK has done great in forcing turnovers by the other teams when they are on the man-advantage.”

The Hawks also earned a 7-4 win against Guerin/Nazareth on Nov. 6 at Fox Valley Ice Arena. A one-goal lead by the home team exploded into a three-goal edge midway through the third period.

GENEVA – The Fox Valley Hawks collected some much-needed points on their weekend road swing through Kankakee on Nov. 12 and Oak Lawn on Nov. 13.

Their matchup with Kankakee saw the Hawks (7-1-3) gain a point despite losing 7-6 in a shootout. The Hawks were unable to hold two different twogoal leads in the loss, something that was not lost on Hawks coach Phil Gabrielsen.

“We were up 6-4 in the third period and just could not hold a lead,” he said. “It is something we can fix, and we used this game as a teaching lesson to the boys about the importance of not letting up when you have a lead and needing to close a team out.

“We do still have to learn how to have a killer instinct.”

While the team is not suffering from a lack of being able to put the puck in the net, the Hawks are still going through some growing pains when it comes to defending.

Against Kankakee, the Hawks

got scoring from Austin DeVitto (St. Charles East), who had two goals and an assist, and Morgan York (St. Charles East), who helped out with two goals. Josh Gadow (St. Charles East) also had a goal, but the effort was just not enough.

“We just need to have our six defensemen step up more when we get leads like we did against Kankakee,” Gabrielsen said. “Problem is, when you score so many goals, you tend to forget about defense sometimes. So we need to do a better job of focusing in on that part of our game.”

The Hawks made up for their shootout loss by getting a 3-2 shootout win against the COBRAS at Oak Lawn Ice Arena. While taking only two minor penalties, the Hawks received goals from York and DeVitto while outshooting their opponents 41-19 in regulation time.

“We played some better defense, I thought,” Gabrielsen said. “Our back-checking was better and we had better defensive positioning. I think one of the good things to come out of this weekend was the fact that we have not lost a game in regulation time. I

Seniors key Geneva’s successful season

By JASON ROSSI

jrossi@shawmedia.com GENEVA – No matter how you slice it, Geneva’s girls volleyball team had a stellar season.

Immediately after falling against Mother McAuley in a Class 4A supersectional to end the season just shy of the state finals, that fact might have been hard to put into perspective. Yet hundreds of teams across the state would have happily traded places with the Vikings.

“Immediately after the game we’re all upset, but we’re all talking to each other about how much we loved this season and how we’re all so proud of each other,” senior Julia Brown said.

“We had higher goals, but we’re all proud of each other.

“We gave it everything we have. We have no regrets with our season, but we wish that we had played the best we could [against McAuley].”

Geneva was undefeated for a large portion of the season, surviving unscathed from the time of the season opener against Naperville Central on Aug. 25 all the way until the championship match against Benet at St. Charles East’s Mizuno Cup on Oct. 8.

The strong start included tournament wins at Plainfield North (which included a victory against Class 3A state finalist Marian Catholic) and the Wheaton Classic, where Geneva topped Benet for the title. The Vikings also won the Lyons Township tournament at the end of the regular season, defeating Class 4A state finalist Minooka in the championship.

After the loss against Benet in the Mizuno Cup, the Vikings responded by winning their next 14 matches to make the supersectional.

“There’s a lot we accomplished and a lot we can be proud of,” head coach Annie Seitelman said after the loss to McAuley.

“There’s a lot we accomplished and a lot we can be proud of.”

Annie Seitelman Geneva head coach

The defeat in the supersectional was the end of the road for the numerous seniors who helped guide the Vikings to 30 or more wins the past three seasons, including 37-2 this year.

Outside hitters Grace Loberg (Wisconsin) and Ally Barrett (UConn) were four-year varsity players who helped Geneva capture its first sectional title in 2013. Alexandria Mullen (Boston College) and Mikayla Lanasa were on varsity for three years, and Brown (William & Mary) was on varsity the past two years as the Vikings compiled a 70-6 record.

Shelby Bowman, Taylor Brown, Colleen Cahill, Grace Keegan and Mason Schmedes also were seniors who will be missed next season.

“If you look at the careers of some of the kids I’ve been fortunate enough to have on varsity since I took over the program three years ago, the growth they’ve demonstrated on the court and in the classroom has been great,” Seitelman said. “It has been so wonderful to get to know them and see them mature and grow into the people they are today.”

A 25-16, 25-20 loss against Marian Central Catholic in a supersectional match ended the season just shy of the Class 3A state finals, but it was a season that saw the Royals play against and hang with some of the state’s best teams as they compiled a 27-13 record and won the program’s first sectional title in 38 years.

The on-court success and sectional title were just the bows on top of solid careers for seniors Madeline Bryan, Erin Burke, Molly Curley, Julia Gauthier,

Taylor Haddock, Meegan Hart, Kennedy Jenig and Martha Konovodoff.

Burke (Rollins College, Fla.), Gauthier (Indiana), Hart (Iowa State) and Konovodoff (Marquette) will continue their careers in college.

“We’re going to miss them. All eight of them contributed in some way both on and off the court,” Fox said of the seniors.

“Four of them started with me their freshman year, when we had a losing record. They helped turn the program around and make it Rosary volleyball again. They won three regionals in a row and now a sectional, and they put it in the young girls’ heads and hearts what it means to have this kind of success.”

Winter Market takes root at Gaetano’s

By RENEE TOMELL

rtomell@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – The Batavia Farmers’ Market has come in from the cold to stretch out the summertime joy of locally sourced edibles and artisan provisions. The market organized by Batavia MainStreet on North River Street again finds a Saturday morning refuge at Gaetano’s restaurant, which has cooked up some changes of its own.

From 9 a.m. to noon Saturdays through May, Winter Market patrons can visit the eatery at North River and Wilson streets.

“We scramble on Saturday mornings to get everything set up just so,” restaurant owner Wendy DiBenedetto

of Batavia said about moving tables aside to accommodate about 10 participants in the market. “It’s been really great fun. There’s wonderful vendors that are here.”

She said people offer everything from poultry, including turkey for Thanksgiving, to meats and sometimes cheese, Katic Bread specialties

WASCO – The stars shone brighter over The Lodge on 64 after our leisurely drive into the countryside just west of downtown Wasco.

Nestled along a treeline, the expansive restaurant-andbar operation sits apart from civilization.

With a little imagination, the A-frame architecture feels like a wilderness retreat. Inviting dining rooms and stone fireplaces await, and there are rustic decor touches from the long, wooden bar to wagon-wheel light fixtures, beams overhead and saddles on the walls.

Scattered flat-screen TVs are unobtrusive but tuned to games. A great selection of country tunes played, and the bar is home to weekly live entertainment.

Our attentive server brought us a loaf of bread still warm from the oven, which had the perfect chew to the crust. After slathering on the whipped butter, we had to remind ourselves not to spoil our appetites.

The Lodge on 64 made my entree choice easy with The Combo, featuring the rotisserie chicken that’s a specialty at the restaurant, paired with barbecue baby back ribs.

The ribs were delicious, but the chicken was spectacular, with its crispy skin and juicy meat.

I selected the original-style half chicken, but it also comes barbecued or Grecian. The menu notes the kitchen only uses organic chicken, free of antibiotics and hormones and never frozen. Also available from the wood-burning rotisserie spit is slow-roasted duck served with orange sauce and dressing.

My dining companion opted for the Bulleit Whiskey burger, and after tasting it, I was happy we had decided to share all the entrees.

SUGAR GROVE – Santa Claus is coming to Sugar Grove, and he’s bringing along Mrs. Claus to join in on the festive, holiday fun.

The annual Holiday in the Grove event will be Dec. 3 at multiple venues, although the majority of activities will take place at the Sugar Grove Township Community Building, 141 S. Main St. “We’re ready for people to start signing up and buying breakfast, and you can do that easily online,” said Marguerite Ledone, president of Holiday in the Grove. “We’re also looking for sponsors. This way you can get in the spirit by helping make Holiday in the Grove a huge success this year.

We’re a not-for-profit group made up of volunteers, and with support we can keep this event going for free. The only things we charge for is the breakfast and for gift purchases.”

Always right after Thanksgiving and a few weeks ahead of the craziness and busy social events of Christmas, Holiday in the Grove once again will offer a wonderful opportunity for families to create unforgettable memories.

“Santa is staying until 1 p.m. rather than noon, so we’ll keep the Community Building open longer,” Ledone said.

“It’s a friendly event for the whole family with a lot of fun. It’s a great way to kick off the holiday season, especially for the Sugar Grove residents.”

The Sugar Grove Fire Department’s staff will once again take off their hard hats and protective pants and don aprons in the kitchen to prepare a fresh, hot breakfast of pancakes, sausage, fruit and applesauce. You can register online for breakfast at www. holidayinthegrove.com with seating times at 8, 9 and 10 a.m.

“You don’t have to have breakfast

to see Santa, but if you want to have a good breakfast, we hope you will join us,” Ledone said. “There will be plenty of activities, games and prizes, and you can come and meet Santa and get a free picture.”

Parents also are invited to also supply the name of their children so that they receive a special letter from Santa later this holiday season.

Attendees also may visit the Mrs. Claus Sweet Shoppe at the Sugar Grove United Methodist Church from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. for cookies, candy, fudge and other sweets. Who said there was anything wrong with washing down sugary, syrupy pancakes with more sweets, right? Just ask Buddy the Elf. Mrs. Claus also will be busy at Kaneland John Shields Elementary School with crafts from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and cookie decorating from 1 to 2 p.m.

Finally, one of the most unique things about Holiday in the Grove is that there are holiday shopping opportunities at the elementary school.

With a variety of crafts and other distinctive items for sale, past participants have used this as an opportunity for their children as well as themselves to shop for others, especially in finding that special little something for a loved one.

“Cooking Solo: The Joy of Cooking for Yourself” by Klancy Miller comes with 100 recipes. “Cooking for yourself is about more than avoiding endless leftovers and skyhigh bills from too many dinners,” Miller said. “It’s about eating the good food you deserve.”

Photos by Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com

Carrots from the local Mighty Greens farm are among offerings Nov. 12 at Batavia MainStreet’s Winter Market hosted by Gaetano’s through the cold months. The farmers market is on the main level, but soon it will expand to six days a week, following the expansion of a second-floor dining room at the restaurant.

‘Cooking Solo’ is full of inspired recipes TOM’S COOKBOOK LIBRARY Tom Witom “Cooking Solo: The Joy of Cooking for Yourself” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) comes to the aid of countless American adults who live alone and fend for themselves in the kitchen.

This down-to-earth cookbook by New York-based food writer and pastry chef Klancy Miller comes with 100 pitch-perfect recipes that go far beyond the notion that food is just fuel.

Miller’s doable recipes, which don’t require special technical skills, reflect travels to Tahiti and France, where she earned a Diplome de Patisserie at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris.

The author says her recipes add up to satisfying meals.

“Cooking for yourself is about more than avoiding endless leftovers and sky-high bills from too many dinners,” Miller said. “It’s about eating the good food you deserve.”

See the example for Soy-Lime Beet-Stirfry – a version Miller tweaked from a recipe by chef Christophe Pelé, formerly of La Bigarrade in Paris.

Other chapters include “Eat a Proper Breakfast,” “Take a Lunch,” “Entertaining Friends” and “Meals with Meat.”

Journalist Tom Witom, who lives in

SOY-LIME BEEF STIRFRY Makes 1 or 2 servings 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon soy sauce 3 garlic cloves, minced 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced Juice of 1 lime 3 cups arugula Salt 1/2 pound flank or other beef steak (preferably pasture-raised), sliced across the grain into thin strips.

Grated zest of 1 lemon In medium bowl, combine sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and lime juice. Set aside. Arrange arugula on dinner plate and set aside.

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil in 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pinch or two of salt over beef and add it to skillet. Cook it, stirring, until done to your liking, 2 to 4 minutes.

Use tongs to arrange beef over arugula. Sprinkle zest over meat. Whisk garlic-ginger mixture until well combined and pour it over all. Serve immediately.

• MARKET

Continued from page 52 and the Mighty Greens farm’s microgreens and vegetables, noting Gaetano’s uses the microgreens in its kitchen.

The restaurant is named after executive chef Gaetano DiBenedetto, her husband, who also operates a namesake restaurant in Forest Park.

“When we’re only open for dinner, we have our restaurant free during the day,” Wendy DiBenedetto said.

“We offered [our space] for whichever purveyors wanted to come inside, and we set up a farmers market for them on the main floor of the restaurant.”

She said they’ve offered the space for the market since opening in 2014, and people started requesting items created in-house such as Gaetano’s tomato sauce and pesto.

“And before you know it, we started to have all these different things – homemade salami, homemade sausage,” Wendy DiBenedetto said.

“We do everything from scratch here in the restaurant. Being parents and being a mom, I remember how hard it was when my kids were littler to get them a fresh meal with homemade ingredients.

“We started to do a fresh garbanzo bean spread … that we serve [with] homemade focaccia when you sit down and order dinner,” she said, citing ingredients such as roasted garlic, [cheese] and extra-virgin olive oil as a healthful alternative to butter.

Until now, the restaurant also sold additional Italian edibles in a deli-like space set up in the basement only on Saturday mornings in tandem with the farmers market, moving the downstairs dining room seating aside each week and then putting it all back.

Wendy DiBenedetto said they purchased the building in July and

She said the added upstairs space has big windows and high ceilings, plus a lounge with a bar ideal for cocktails or a small plate of charcuterie.

The new dining area has led to expanded hours for The Market at Gaetano’s on the lower level, which in a few weeks should be open every day except Sunday and will offer the chef’s housemade sausage and artisan meats, fresh pasta, antipasti, olives, wines and dinners to-go, plus panini, sandwiches and soups among the expanded offerings. It’s accessible from its own entrance on Wilson Street.

“We also make something called chocolate salami,” she said of the look-alike. “It’s not meat. It’s dessert.

Homemade chocolate with hazelnuts inside, dusted with powdered sugar.”

As for the farmers market, Wendy DiBenedetto said, “We want everyone to do well,” adding she and her family are happy they moved to Batavia five years ago, a classic small town where people know each other.

“Our kids love it. We just want to give back as much as we can. The market is a very special time of the week for everybody to come together.”

Speak your mind; don’t be silent Political scientists will no doubt chew on this one for eons. But parents don’t have the luxury of waiting for the dust to settle. The kids want answers, even those who supported or whose parents supported Donald Trump, the president-elect.

Because, apparently, many of their peers are anxious – and that’s contagious. I’ve heard stories of small children, reportedly eager to celebrate Hillary’s history-making win with their parents, crying upon waking to news of Trump’s victory. Others, upon hearing the results, nervously joked about the end of the world and donned black before heading off to school the next morning. I’ve honestly never seen such a reaction to a presidential election. But then this has been a rather protracted, polarizing and downright bizarre election cycle. And our children’s new president, infamous for racist slurs, threats of deportation and profoundly disturbing misogynist behavior, is not like other presidents. Anxiety seems like a normal reaction to such an outcome. Even veteran members of Trump’s own party struggle. Look up to this guy? Really?

Anticipating such anxiety, my daughter’s school district wisely coached teachers on ways to manage it in their classrooms. I’ll hazard a guess that this is the first time administrators have ever felt compelled to do such a thing following the election of a president. The world may feel like it’s going to heck in a hand basket, to some, but is it? And really, what do we tell the children?

I’m not suggesting we trust, yet, or ignore the truly upsetting, hate-filled behaviors and comments expressed since his election by the misguided few

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose who believe his election is a license to intimidate those different from them.

I get why my friends feel afraid. But I have to believe that more of Trump’s supporters voted for him with an indictment of his opponent’s corporatist machinations in mind, not because they hate difference and fear otherness.

Whatever their reasons, in my opinion, merely railing against the outcome, while cathartic, isn’t enough.

I tell my children that I’m hopeful. That I’m cautiously open to losing my own fear if anything good can come of this presidency. Seriously? Yes. I’m an irrepressible optimist. I’ve seen it happen and believe in the possibility this time, too, that one faced with such immense responsibility might actually grow up and evolve before our very eyes to be humbled and changed by it. It happens.

So I’m sending good vibes to Trump (whom I never, even for a minute, believed embarked on this journey with this outcome in mind), that he may surprise us all, himself included. There is power and possibility in hope.

That’s not to say folks shouldn’t grieve what could have been. Aren’t we interesting? Some of us hold space for grief, while others hold space for possibility. And sometimes we shift places. We need both. We need all of us.

In fact, I’ll boldly suggest that we also need the Trumps of the world to inspire us to reach for our convictions.

Put another way, at one of Holly’s soc-

If someone gets knocked down on the soccer field, even if it wasn’t by you, even if they’re on the other team, and even if “that’s what happens” during such a game, help them up. And speak your mind.

Do not be silent in the face of hate. Most stand by, afraid to speak up lest they be targeted, too, and I get that – but nothing changes, I tell them, if we’re silent. It surprises kids to learn this, sometimes, that we’re not powerless and we’re not voiceless. cer games last week, in the waning moments of a hard fought, scoreless game between two undefeated teams, as our girls sprinted headlong toward the other team’s net I heard someone yell, “How much do you want it?” I think that’s where we’re at as a country.

How badly do we really want this peace we say we want? What are we willing to do to achieve it? Of our anxious kids, who will model how we rise to this challenge, I’d ask the same. Anxiety is real. Dismissing it doesn’t help.

Anxiety can, in some instances, be reframed as helpful information. A “flag,” if you will, alerting us that something may not fit. Might need changing.

My favorite cure? After a few slow, deep breaths, a hug and a walk in the woods, taking action’s the best balm, in my book. What needs changing? What can I do, in my own little corner of the world, cul-de-sac or playground? What if hate is there? Get involved, I tell my kids. If someone gets knocked down on the soccer field, even if it wasn’t by you, even if they’re on the other team, and even if “that’s what happens” during such a game, help them up.

silent in the face of hate. Most stand by, afraid to speak up lest they be targeted, too, and I get that – but nothing changes, I tell them, if we’re silent. It surprises kids to learn this, sometimes, that we’re not powerless and we’re not voiceless.

One of my earliest mentors once taught me that the Chinese symbol for the word “crisis” actually is comprised of two characters, one representing “danger” and the other “opportunity.” I think we should encourage our children to embrace this perspective. Become involved in school activities, and volunteer. Notice opportunities to make a difference.

They may be kids, but believing they matter and have the power to make a difference begins early. Tell them. And tell them, too, that the people we hire to go to Washington represent us. They should never fall asleep at the wheel. If they do, it’ll be because we let them. Trump is no different. He’s powerful, sure, but so are we. And so are our children.

Male infertility has variety of causes Dear Dr. K: My wife and I have tried to get pregnant for over a year. We’re going to be tested soon to see if anything is wrong. I’m worried that the problem lies with me. What are some reasons for a man to be infertile?

Dear Reader: About one in seven couples in the United States are unable to conceive a child after trying for one year.

The infertility is caused either by the man alone (about 40 percent of the time), by the woman alone (about 40 percent of the time) or by both partners (about 20 percent of the time). So it is possible that something about you is responsible for your wife’s difficulty with becoming pregnant.

Male infertility may be caused by a variety of problems: • HORMONAL PROBLEMS. For example, low levels of testosterone (the main male hormone) or thyroid hormone.

• PROBLEMS WITH THE TESTICLES. These include abnormal growth or development, or damage from trauma and infections.

• PROBLEMS WITH THE FLOW OF SPERM. This may include blocked tubes that transport sperm, or problems with ejaculation.

• ABNORMAL SPERM FUNCTION. This may affect the ability of sperm to fertilize an egg.

• EXPOSURE TO TOXINS. Radiation, for example, or industrial chemicals.

• MEDICATIONS AND DRUGS. These include psychiatric medications, alcohol, and anabolic steroids used for bodybuilding.

Your evaluation will likely begin with a semen analysis. This test measures the amount and quality of your semen and the number and quality of sperm. If your semen analysis is normal, you may not need further testing.

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff If your semen analysis is abnormal, your doctor will take a complete medical history and test your hormone levels.

The doctor will also perform a physical exam.

He or she will look for evidence of genital infections, blocked sperm tubules in the testes or shrinkage of the testicles.

Particularly if the physical examination indicates there is a problem, various tests often are ordered. You may need an ultrasound of the testicles and scrotum to picture any possible blockages. Your sperm may be tested. The role of the sperm is to swim toward a woman’s egg and to fertilize it.

The ability of the sperm to swim in semen can be studied with a microscope. So can the ability of your sperm to penetrate a hamster egg.

If it can’t, it will likely not be able to penetrate a human egg.

Genetic tests may be performed.

Several gene defects have been identified in recent years. Finally, a biopsy of the testicles may show any of several diseases that impair the production of sperm.

If there is a specific reason for your infertility, it may be possible to treat. If you have no treatment options, consider assisted-reproduction techniques, such as artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization.

Problems with fertility often have a solution – with a healthy baby as a result.

Dr. Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

HOW TO PLAY Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.

PUZZLE SOLUTION

CROSSWORD PUZZLE ANSWERS

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY I’m a divorced and remarried Jeanne mother of two Phillips adult children.

Both live on their own and have decent jobs. After the divorce, I managed to keep a roof over our heads, food on the table and provide college for my children. My ex-husband, their father, sporadically paid child support, which resulted in an arrearage owed for the past nine years. Recently, I received a substantial sum of the balance I was owed for back child support. My dilemma is that my children feel that because their father is having financial problems (finances were always his issue), I should give the money back to him because I am financially secure. Abby, they are ignoring everything I had to do to support them while they were still dependents and my responsibility.

Add into that their health care, extracurricular activities, Christmases and birthdays, etc., when he said he didn’t have money. I feel I have every right to keep the money. I have told this to my kids, but they are mad at me because I can’t seem to get the message across. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. – Flustered in Florida Dear Flustered: You were divorced from this man for good reason. Your responsibility to him ended when the divorce was finalized.

What you have received for shouldering the entire responsibility for raising your children is yours and yours alone. Do not apologize to anyone for what you prefer to do with the money. And for your sake, please don’t allow yourself be trapped or guilted into doing anything against your better judgment.

Dear Abby: I love my sister. She’s well-educated, intelligent and fun, but she has let herself go. We are both in our 60s and, unfortunately, those pesky whiskers are starting to appear on our faces. She recently had surgery and when I visited her, I noticed a lot of hairs sprouting from her chin. I offered to pluck them or take her to a spa and have them removed when she had a facial. She refused!

My friends and I have made a pact to pluck each other’s whiskers if we are ever in a hospital and can’t do it ourselves. Should I just let it go or, the next time I see her, remind her that many people would be put off if they saw her? Or is it just me? – Whiskerless Sister Dear Whiskerless: It’s not “just you.” Depilatories are popular because most American women wouldn’t want to be caught dead with obvious facial hair. Your letter brought back memories, one of which was my mother telling me that her first executive assistant, Katie, had made Mama promise that in the event of Katie’s demise, Mama would bring a razor to the viewing and, while standing at the casket, “whisk” off her mustache so no one would see it. Not knowing your sister, I can’t say whether she was in so much pain from her surgery that she didn’t want to add to it by being plucked. Talk to her again when she’s feeling better and she may offer up her chin. If not, love her the way she is -- fur and all -- because she’s happy that way.

Dr. Wallace: My boyfriend and I got into a spat three days ago and we haven’t communicated since.

It all started over something very stupid and it got out of control. To be perfectly honest, I don’t know who started the squabble.

I miss my boyfriend, but I don’t want to say “I’m sorry” because I’m afraid he’ll take advantage of me, but eventually I will contact him if I don’t hear from him first.

How long should I wait? – Jan,

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

Tulsa, Okla.

Jan: Wait 10 minutes, and if he

doesn’t contact you within that time, contact him and say that you miss him and that you’re sorry for your part in the squabble. If your boyfriend had asked me that question, I would have given him the same advice.

There’s nothing more foolish than stubbornly refusing to apologize. As you note, people maintain their anger at each other even when they’ve forgotten what they’re angry about. Grudges over nothing at all have been known to last for years. It’s hard to imagine a bigger waste of energy.

It doesn’t matter who apologizes first. What’s important is the rekindling of a wonderful relationship.

Dr. Wallace: My boyfriend and I are both 18 and have graduated from high school. We have been going together for over three years and we are planning to get married. We both love each other very much and there is little doubt we could make it as husband and wife.

But we do have a disagreement. He wants us to go to Las Vegas to get married and for us not to tell anyone, even our parents.

Then after the ceremony he wants me to return home and live with my parents and he will live with his. We are lucky that we both have jobs. He wants us to save

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace money to buy a house and then in a year announce to the world that we are “an old married couple.”

I don’t like the idea, but I do love this guy with all of my heart and soul and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. Please give me your opinion. – Nameless,

Albuquerque, N.M. Nameless: One of the prime

functions of the wedding ceremony is to proudly announce to the world that the bride and groom are united as one family ready to face life’s challenges. It should be a wonderful experience filled with love and happiness shared with family and friends.

Don’t elope. I see no reason to get married, and then hide the fact by living with your respective parents.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 17-year-old girl and I’m very concerned about the quality of movies currently being produced. I’m no prude and I welcome films that shake up the social consciousness, but I strongly protest films that deal with gutter sex, violence, and unbelievable horror and terror.

I’m only a teenager, but I’d like to go on record saying I protest junky, trashy movies. – Toni,

Baltimore, Md. Toni: I agree. The very best

form of protest is economic boycott. Hit the moviemakers in the pocketbook! As long as they make money serving up trash, they will continue the same menu.

Refuse to attend offensive films and encourage your friends to join you in your protest.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a sophomore at a large high school in Philadelphia. The school sponsors event

dances on a Friday or Saturday evening from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and they are well attended.

Only students who attend our school can attend these dances and they must show their student identification cards for entrance.

Teachers and administrators act as chaperones. Two police officers patrol the parking lot to insure that cars are safe and they stay nearby in case they are needed in the dance.

My best friend has attended all four of the dances so far and told me they are a lot of fun and she has made several new friends.

My mom won’t let me attend the dances unless she can also be a chaperone. She talked to our principal and was told in a nice way, “Thanks, but no thanks.” This means that I won’t be allowed to attend any school dances this year.

I understand that you are a former high school principal. Were parents permitted to be dance chaperones at your high school?

If the answer is No, please explain why. – Madison, Brooklyn, N.Y. Madison: Our school district ruled that all chaperones at school dances must be state-credentialed teachers, counselors and administrators. This is because they have the authority to deal with problems that might arise. It would not be wise to place parents in this role.

But parents were welcome to stop by for a short visit as guests.

The maximum length of the visits was 15 minutes. This parent-dance program was well-received by parents and students.

Most parents stopped by for a minute or two just to say hello and the students enjoyed seeing them come and enjoyed seeing them leave.

Arguments can be made for choosing light or dark paint color in a bedroom.

How should you decide? Annie Elliott, a paint color pro and owner of Bossy Color in Washington, said to go with the room’s DNA. If a bedroom is large and airy, then it’s natural to pick a soft gray or pale blue.

If a bedroom is small, embrace its size and pick a rich claret or deep navy. Her top two light and dark paint colors.

Roar + Rabbit’s Organic Landscape Duvet Cover and Shams feature deep colors done in a painterly way. They are available from $29 to $109 at westelm.com.

We may think we spend most of our time in the kitchen cooking or in the family room watching TV. But the truth is we spend a third of our lives sleeping – so the bedroom wins. And yet this is not where our decorating dollars go.

“A lot of people want their bedroom to have personality,” said Rebecca Atwood, a Brooklyn textile designer, “but they’re not sure what to do.” If your bedroom is basic but you want beautiful, Atwood and Annie Elliott, a paint color pro and owner of Bossy Color in Washington, have some ideas to revive it.

The first might be the hardest: Clear out the clutter. Organize clothes and find somewhere else to store the gift wrap. “The surface clutter is a huge problem for all of us,” Elliott said.

Think through color after that, and throw convention out the door. After all, this is the room that you start and end the day with. If a room is large, go with a light color, Elliott said, and if it is small, embrace it with a dark, cozy selection.

Then look to subtle, relaxing patterns – think watercolors, dots, embroidery. “An injection of pattern can

• BEDROOM

Continued from page 69 said. But pattern doesn’t always mean big and loud: The bedroom is a good place to try soft designs such as marble and water-inspired fabrics. Roar + Rabbit’s Organic Landscape Duvet Cover and Shams ($29-$109, westelm.com) hit the mark with deep colors done in a painterly way.

• Offer the bedroom a rustic touch with the mango-wood Treago Table Lamp ($169, dwellstudio.com). It’s petite enough for a nightstand and matches – yet updates – any current scheme.

• A nightstand such as the Baby Relax Miles Campaign Nightstand ($150, target.com) doesn’t have to have its twin on the other side of the bed, Elliott said. She has used everything from an antique demilune to a bachelor’s chest in her projects. The trick is to make sure the heights are the same and the lamps match.

• “Sheets are one of the most natural places to add pattern,” Atwood said. “There’s a lot of options out there for small-scale prints, such as stripes and dots. Those are the ones that are going to go with everything.”

The Pebble Slate Sheet Set ($180-$220, crateandbarrel.com) gives polka dots an organic feel.

• Atwood’s Woven Throw Blanket in

Small-scale patterns such as the crossstitch and diamonds in the Milou Embroidered Linen Sheet Set read as texture from a distance. The sheet set costs from $309 to $359 on restoration hardware.com. navy features one of her new patterns and is great for the end of a bed or, for a twist, to hang over a headboard and give it a different, layered look for a season ($349, rebeccaatwood.com).

• One of Atwood’s favorite bedding brands is Parachute. Its products are basic and unfussy and feature lots of linen options such as the Linen Stripe Duvet Cover Set ($349, parachutehome.com), which Atwood said “is great year-round.” If you want more seasonal fabrics, she noted that percale is light and airy for summer,

sateen feels a bit warmer at night for spring and fall, and flannel, of course, is classic winter bed wear.

• Elliott, a former art historian, likes to make bedrooms feel like real rooms, not just caves for sleeping. For that, lighting is key, she said. Even if you have tiny bedside lights, she advocates for table and floor lamps as well.

The Uteki Printed Lamp Ensemble adds a nice spot of pattern, too ($148$298, anthropologie.com).

• Elliott chooses nightstands with drawers for many of her clients because she likes clean, uncluttered bedrooms. (“You have to have a place for a tissue or a pen,” she said.) The Marcelle 3-Drawer Nightstand ($619, rhbabyandchild.com) has three.

Whichever nightstand you choose, measure its height and make sure it works with the height at which you sleep because contemporary furniture is often low to the ground.

• When updating a standard bedroom to something more interesting, think about texture, too. “Look at crochet, linen, things that are knit,” Atwood said. A puckered seersucker-like stripe is also nice, as on the Tidal White Duvet Cover ($223-$308, pineconehill.com).

• It’s an age-old design question: How many pillows should go on the bed? If you share a bed and the other person is anti-pillow, shams or a one accent

pillow might be your only chance for fun – so make it count. Check two boxes and add texture with World Market’s Black, White and Gray Kilim Lumbar Pillow ($50, worldmarket.com).

• If you’re iffy on pattern in the bedroom, Atwood said to start with pillowcases. “You can test and see if you like it,” she said. Then, if you want to add the matching sheets, you can. Atwood also said she loves seeing bold shams.

Try the Thandie Watercolor Printed Shams ($39-$49, ballarddesigns.com).

• Atwood likes big pillows to prop oneself up in bed for reading or tickling kids on the floor. Pottery Barn’s Solid Velvet Lumbar Pillow Cover comes in six saturated colors and can be monogrammed ($29.50, potterybarn.com).

• Small-scale patterns such as the cross-stitch, running stitch and diamonds in the Milou Embroidered Linen Sheet Set ($309-$359, restorationhardware.com), read as texture from a distance, Atwood noted. These types of patterns are easy to layer and match.

• Elliott favors a clean, white bedding cover “because your bed has a lot of visual real estate in a room,” she said. “There’s so much ‘look-at-me’ bedding, but if you make white a main part of your room, you make your life so much easier.” In particular, she likes a nice, classic matelassé, such as the Boyfriend White Matelassé Cover ($243-$359, pineconehill.com).

By JURA KONCIUS

The Washington Post

• Choose furniture before painting walls: While walls are an important

ingredient in design, I recommend waiting on paint colors for the majority of the house until you’ve made some decisions about furnishings. You don’t want to paint twice.

• Decorating for the seasons: I’m a big believer in layering. A layered approach helps you build warmth and take it

away as needed. When I was growing up, four seasons meant four looks in the house. Today, I think fewer rules apply whether you’re West or East Coast. Fall does not necessarily mean burgundy.

It can mean grass green, regardless of weather temperatures. I recommend you cast off the notion of seasonal aesthetics; think about what’s practical for you and your family and try living as though there are no seasons.

• Fresh color combinations for a bedroom: The first question I would

ask is, “What effect are you going for: calm and serene, vibrant and cheerful, or cocooning and moody?” Examples of serene would be aqua, gray and ivory. Cheerful could be grass green and coral. Moody could be deep navy

paired with camel.

• Painting wood stairs: Painting over wood in a stairwell is a very inexpensive way to create big impact. I’m a big fan of contrast on stairs. I love black treads with contrast on the riser, which could be white or could be a color, or several different colors, for that matter. That’s your place to play.

• Accent options for neutral colors:

There are so many great contrasts to neutrals that allow you to create just about any effect. The effect you want to create is personal, but some of my favorites are greige with brownish pinks, which is calm and feminine. I love camels mixed with hot coral for something more lively. I think grays and taupes pair beautifully with pale aqua.

Mudroom: A safe place for you, boots, food

By STEPHANIE BRICK

Special to The Washington Post Mudrooms are the ugly ducklings of the home. Purely functional, the dirt and sloppiness are so integrated and expected in this room that “mud” is a part of its very name. … For so long, mudrooms were hidden behind closed doors, full of dirt, disorganization and shame; but the ugly duckling has grown up, and this swan is ready to dazzle with everything it can do.

During the past 100 years, the scale, purpose and design of rooms across the home have changed. Similar to kitchens and bathrooms, mudrooms started out simply fulfilling an unglamorous need. But now they are one of the most egressed, dual-function rooms in a household and rapidly increasing in popularity, according to the American Institute of Architects.

Though smaller than most other occupied areas of the home, the mudroom is the ultimate multipurpose room, often designed to double as an activity landing zone, specialized storage space and even natural disaster shelter.

Most of my clients, if they are renovating their existing home, are seeking the most popular mudroom combo: the mudroom/laundry room. It is a natural combination, since dirty clothes are dropped off for both and thus helps contain the mess to just one area.

The second most popular choice is to [multipurpose] … this area for storage. Bulk food storage in the mudroom can be especially helpful if it is near the kitchen. … I love giving a defined broom closet or enclosed storage area for vacuums and cleaning products that is easily accessible and orga-

Serena Dugan, the co-founder and chief creative officer of Serena & Lily, joined Post staff writer Jura Koncius for a recent live chat, giving pointers to readers on how to use color and pattern to refresh a space. Here is an edited excerpt of her advice: • Patterned furniture: Print is never a bad idea! However, it is worth considering the investment. You may love a print today and be tired of it tomorrow.

For this reason, I generally recommend smaller accent pieces as your fashion statement. You can easily trade them out or reupholster. But I really love the go-for-it feeling that a large piece of

patterned upholstery offers.

• Mixing patterns: I love pattern on pattern, particularly plaids or stripes with other prints. The key to success is whether or not the other print is complementary to the plaid. This determination is entirely subjective. If you feel the two patterns are harmonious to your eye, that’s all that matters.

Susanne Langer, a philosopher who was well known for her theories on the influences of art on the mind, said, “A signal is comprehended if it serves to make us notice the object or situation it bespeaks.”

At the bridge table, a good defender signals to his partner, but, obviously, a signal will only serve him well if partner comprehends it. In today’s deal, West leads the heart ace against four spades. What happens after that?

North’s three-heart advance is called a “mixed raise.” It showed four-card support and 7-9 high-card points. It is also usually made with a nine-loser hand, so North’s call was an overbid because he had 10 losers, given the probable uselessness of the heart queen after East’s opening bid. But if North had settled for two spades (or a pre-emptive three spades, which would also have been debatable with 4-3-3-3 distribution), it would have ruined a good story.

West led the heart ace, and East signaled encouragingly with the 10.

If West had started with only two hearts, East wanted his partner to continue the suit. However, West had three hearts and he knew that East’s play denied the heart jack, because East would have signaled with the top of his touching cards. If West had led a second heart, shortly thereafter declarer would have discarded a diamond loser on dummy’s heart queen.

Instead, West shifted to the diamond eight.

South took East’s jack with his ace, drew trumps ending in the dummy and led the heart six, but East won with his king and cashed two diamond tricks to defeat the contract.
