The Lake County Sheriff’s Office responded about 3 p.m. to the 26000 block of Lakeland Drive for a report that a jogger had been attacked. A preliminary investigation found the girl was jogging along the road when she was grabbed from behind by a man, according to a news
release. She did not hear the man approach because she was wearing headphones. The man tried to drag the girl into the woods, but she was able to fight off the attacker and run away, the release said. The girl contacted her mother, who then contacted the Lake County Sheriff’s Office. The girl was uninjured, the release said. The man was described as white, in his early 40s, about 5 feet, 9 inches tall, with light brown or blond hair and wearing a white T-shirt, black

shorts and black gym shoes, the release said. A search of the area by deputies, assisted by a K-9 unit, and the Wauconda and Tower Lakes police departments, was unsuccessful in locating the man. Anyone with information concerning the identity of the man should contact the Lake County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division at 847-377-4250 or the Lake County Sheriff’s Office communications center at 847-5495200.

ROUND LAKE BEACH – Writing a fact-based fiction story inspired by his younger brother’s ongoing struggle with a life-altering mental illness was a deeply personal yet cathartic experience for Mitch Davis, 54, of Round Lake Beach. “I really didn’t start out writing with the intention of publishing a book, but then it occurred to me I should because my goal was to help others see what mental illness is like,” Davis said. “Finding Richard,” self-published in the fall of 2014 on Amazon.com, took Davis five long, emotional years to complete. “Certain parts of the book were very hard for me to write,” Davis said. “I’ll be honest, I shed a few tears.” The title character is based
on Davis’ brother, Richard, who was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia when he was in his midteens. He is now 53. The book presents the delusions associated with the illness in graphic detail, allowing the reader to feel Richard’s inner conflict as he struggles to separate reality from the voices in his head that cause unrelenting paranoia. It also is a story about the love of family, transformation and forgiveness, Davis said. “I wanted to get across what Richard experienced but also my hopes and dreams for my brother, things I hope he’ll get to experience but realistically may never get to,” Davis said. As painful as it has been to watch his brother battle debilitating mental illness, Davis said he cannot imagine being the one going through it. “He’s been this way for so long, he doesn’t really have anything to compare it to,” Davis said. “I look at my life and think, my God, I have it so good. I’m so blessed.”

My Flavor It! Place brings chilly treats to Wauconda By ANGELA SYKORA
If you go
editorial@lakecountyjournal.com Authentic Hawaiian shaved ice is hard to come by, but enthusiasts can find it at My Flavor It! Place, along with 40 homemade syrups to go crazy with. The new store, located at 321 N. Main St., Wauconda, recently had a ribbon-cutting ceremony to introduce itself and its dizzying array of chilly treats to the community. “It’s nice to be able to expand the downtown Main Street area. It’s one more amenity to make us a destination,” said Laura Ferris, executive director of the Wauconda Area Chamber of Commerce. Wauconda is My Flavor It! Place’s second location, joining the Lake Zurich store, which originally opened in 2003 as Uncle T’s before rebranding in 2009 and moving across the street to 10 E. Main St. The popularity of the Lake Zurich store prompted owner Anna Razes to search for a second location. “Over the years, I’ve had my eye on Wauconda,” Razes said. “The village is so friendly.” The Wauconda location is managed by Razes’ daughter, Cally Razes, and her boyfriend, Chris Hamel. Both are graduates of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Though she studied biology and chemistry, Cally Razes said the family business is in her blood, and she wanted to continue the tradition. “I’ve been working every

Continued from page 3 Writing the book, Davis not only based the title character and storyline on his personal experience but also did research into the psychological and physical effects of mental illness. Although his brother does not have visual hallucinations, “he does have people who live in his head,” Davis said. “The paranoia is always there. He has delusions about people wanting to operate on his brain and give him a lobotomy,” Davis said. “He thinks people are out to hurt him.

nations are virtually endless. “I like the Brain Freeze,” Cally Razes said. “We created it ourselves. It’s half ice cream and half slushie, so it’s very creamy, then you get the icy. I like the orange because it tastes like a Dreamsicle.” Other treats include shakes and floats, real fruit smoothies, ice-blended coffee, ice cream with candy mix-ins, sundaes, banana splits and more.

summer at the [Lake Zurich] shop since I was 12 years old,” Cally Razes said. “It’s a very fun, happy environment, so we thought, why not expand it.” “We’re very entrepreneurial,” said Cally Razes, whose brother Bobby opened Bobbers bar and grill in Lake Zurich in December.

At My Flavor It! Place, the only limit is your imagination. That’s why their motto is “If you can think it, we can make it.” “The ingredients we have allow folks to get creative with the combinations,” Anna Razes said.

Being family-owned, the owners of My Flavor It! Place feel it’s important to also treat their customers like family, and get to know regulars by first name. “We want everyone who walks in to feel like a part of the family,” Cally Razes said. They’re also proud to employ local high school students and alumni at both store locations. “I love it. It doesn’t feel like working,” said 17-year-old Samantha Surovitz, who just graduated from Wauconda High School.
The fear is always present. It doesn’t seem to me that he ever gets a break from that.” Richard also experiences anhedonia, which means he can’t experience joy or pleasure in activities that normally elicit such feelings. Although the symptoms of Richard’s schizophrenia have remained unchanged throughout the years, Davis said his brother’s response to his illness has worsened. “He’s been committed a few times and arrested quite a few times,” Davis said. “He loses a lot of jobs. People aren’t comfortable being around him.” Davis said it’s tough for
people who are “really mentally ill” to integrate into society. “It’s normal for people to have some off-putting reactions to some of the things they do, but I think sometimes they assign that to the person’s character and not to the illness,” Davis said. “He [Richard] is surrounded by a lot of good people who love him and understand that he has this illness, so I don’t think he gets that people attack him or talk badly about him, at least not to his face.” It took Davis a while to tell his brother about the book because he was concerned how he would react. “I don’t know that he’s read
it yet,” Davis said, noting his mother and other siblings have reacted positively to the book, even though some of it has been difficult to read because it hits so close to home. “Finding Richard” is available in three formats – paperback, Kindle and audible via Amazon.com. “Even as a work of fiction, ‘Finding Richard’ gave some fascinating insight into the isolating world of schizophrenia,” a reviewer wrote online. “It helped me understand the reality of this mental illness on an intensely personal level the author must know all too well.” Davis will appear at an au-
thor showcase and book signing event from 7 to 9 p.m. Oct. 29 at the Round Lake Area Library. He also is working on a second book, a fact-based fiction novel about Wisconsin’s migrant farm worker population in the mid-1960s. An avid reader, Davis has a “guys only” book club called Books and Beer, in which he and his buddies discuss a new book each month while enjoying a libation inspired by the story. Davis also enjoys spending time at his log cabin retreat in southwestern Wisconsin, where he does much of his writing. Visit www.mitchdavis.us to learn more about the local author.

We focus on providing well care, not sick care, and we take a holistic and proactive approach to enhancing our residents’ lives.” Pathway’s approach is so unique and so deeply engrained in its culture that it has its own name, “VIVA!” In simplest terms, VIVA! Is an enthusiastic celebration of life. It offers a life-enriching environment where seniors can lead engaging, meaningful and purpose-filled lives. A Whole New Way of Living Life to the Fullest Beyond providing comfortable apartment homes with modern conveniences, amenities and supportive services, Pathway’s communities offer seniors a lifestyle that supports a happy and celebrated life.

Heart health should be a concern for people of all ages, but especially so for men and women over 50. That’s because, according to the American Heart Association, even men and women who are free of cardiovascular disease at age 50 are at a significant lifetime risk of developing the disease. But heart disease does not have to be an accepted byproduct of aging. For example, a 2014 study published in the AHA journal Circulation found that maintaining or increasing physical activity after age 65 can improve the heart’s well-being and lower risk of heart attack. In addition to increasing physical activity as they age, older men and women who understand heart disease and learn to recognize its symptoms have a greater chance of minimizing its affects and lowering their risk of having a heart attack. What are the symptoms of heart disease? Heart disease is a blanket term used to describe a host of conditions, so symptoms vary depending on each individual condition. The following are some of the more widely known conditions and their symptoms: • Hypertension: Also known as high blood pressure, hypertension is a largely symptomless form of heart disease. The AHA notes that the idea that hypertension produces symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, facial flushing, nervousness, and sweating is a misconception. Symptoms typically do not alert men and women to the presence of hypertension, highlighting the emphasis men and women should place on routine visits to the doctor’s office, where their blood pressure can be taken. • Heart attack: The symptoms of a heart attack are different than the symptoms of heart disease that may lead to heart attack. The former can be found by visiting www.heart.org. Signs that you may be heading toward a heart attack include undue fatigue, palpitations (the sensation that your heart is skipping a beat or beating too rapidly), dyspnea (difficulty or labored breathing), chest pain or discomfort from increased activity. • Arrhythmia: Arrhythmia means your heartbeat is irregular, and men and women often mistakenly believe arrhythmia only afflicts those who already have been diagnosed with heart disease or have had a heart attack. But arrhythmia can affect even those men and women who have healthy hearts and no history of cardiovascular disease. Symptoms of arrhythmia can vary greatly, from a single premature beat to a series of premature beats that occur in rapid succession. Arrhythmia that lasts long enough to affect heart function may include symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, and chest pain. How can I protect my heart? Heart healthy habits take some effort, but men and women can protect their hearts regardless of their ages. • Get sufficient exercise. At least 30 minutes of exercise per day can protect against disease. • Quit smoking. Smoking increases your risk for a host of ailments, including heart
Heart healthy habits take some effort, but men and women can protect their hearts regardless of their ages. disease. Quitting is a great way to start getting your heart and other parts of your body back on track. • Include heart-healthy foods in your diet. A diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables and low in cholesterol, salt and saturated fat promotes heart health. • Don’t drink alcohol to excess. Like smoking, drinking alcohol to excess can lead to a host of problems, such as high blood pressure, arrhythmia and high cholesterol, each of which increases your risk of heart disease. • Lose weight. Being overweight or obese is a major risk factor for heart disease. If you have already started to exercise daily and eat a more heart-healthy diet, then you’re on your way to losing weight. Consult your physician if diet and exercise don’t seem to be helping you to shed pounds. Heart disease kills millions of people across the globe each year, many of whom are over 50. But men and women who learn about heart disease and how to reduce their risk stand a far greater chance of fighting the disease.

Warren Township adopts technology program LAKE COUNTY JOURNAL GURNEE – When Warren Township High School students return to school in the fall, they will experience a one-to-one technology learning environment where each student will be provided a Chromebook to use in school and at home, according to a news release. Teachers, administrators and school board members have been working toward the initiative for many years, said Mary Perry Bates, District 121 superintendent.
“The administration has examined how to implement the technological devices and the board has considered how to provide the best education possible for our students in the 21st century,” Bates said. The initiative was approved at a school board meeting May 12. In addition to working with a Chromebook, each student must learn the responsibilities that come with technology, so the district has created a “Digital Citizenship Program” for all students, the release stated.

Can drinking beer really beautify one’s skin? It was interesting to read a news release that indicated that a company in Japan is market-testing a beer that’s infused with a collagen nutrient. The company is patterning the beer after a product that includes collagen, which is spread over one’s skin to make it less rigid. They have evidently come to the conclusion that if we beautify our skin by spreading collagen over it, we can replace the loss of natural nutrients within our bodies by drinking a liquid that’s infused with two grams of collagen.
SEEING IT THROUGH John S. Matijevich Our bodies contain natural collagen which, next to water, makes up most of our body. But as we grow older, the natural collagen is reduced within our system and the skin shows more of the wear and tear of time. Women especially want to believe that they can slow down nature’s role in aging the body’s skin by taking protein-inducing remedies. The Japanese beer is
named Precious, and it’s being tested on women at an island of the coast of Japan. It’s obvious that if their market testing strategies are successful, they would try to introduce Precious to the whole world. Isn’t that precious? Some companies have marketed collagen-containing drinks but I don’t think any other company has ventured into this beer-plus-collagen business. And this isn’t just some small microbrewery taking a step up in the industry – this is a large brewery, so their vision must be big. I understand that one of their
commercials shows a man at a table with a group of Precious-drinking women. The man says, “Guys can tell if a girl is taking collagen or not.” Without taking a stand on whether this supplement will work to re-new our skin, I would say that mixing collagen and beer is a sort of phony way to get women customers to drink beer. We do know the public can be gullible at times, and I would think from a common sense aspect if this liquid collagen will beautify one’s skin, it would work best with a liquid that’s not alcohol.
There’s age-old evidence that alcoholic beverages are not exactly tuned to exalt quality skin composition. Well, if the people testing this product absorb enough Precious, their minds will be giddy enough to believe it’s helped them become more attractive, right? Mother Nature has a strong position on how long one’s skin can remain pliant. There is still beauty in old age.
John Matijevich served in the Illinois Legislature from 1967 to 1992. Contact him at editorial@lakecountyjournal. com.

SOUND OFF Is Congress too timid?
Does the U.S. Supreme Court have the exclusive power to decide which cases to take on appeal or not, and how to do the process? The answer is no. Please see U.S. Constitution, Article 3, Section 2, paragraph two, last sentence. And I quote, “In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction both as to the law and fact, with such exceptions and under such regulations as the Congress shall make.” This means that Congress can filter cases that the Supreme Court may or may not decide and set regulations for the appellate process. Congress has the power to focus and regulate the Supreme Court. It looks like Congress is too timid to focus and regulate the [Supreme Court], even though it has the constitutional authority to do so.

The recent intentional mischaracterization of candidate Trump as an anti-Hispanic bigot is disgusting. The man was commenting on a class of law-breakers popularly known as illegal aliens and was specifically focusing on a group of those who commit felonies, both on the way to their lawless border crossings and then afterward. To deny the existence of the Mexican drug cartels shipping tons of illegal drugs into the USA is to put one’s head in the sand and deny such smuggling has been going on for decades. Get real.
To the person who put in about extending the side of the road to make a bike path and asking “is it so hard to extend that road where able?” Yes, it’s hard, because there is no revenue for that. Your bicycle is not licensed, you are not paying any road taxes by purchasing gasoline. ... It all takes money.
Watch out for scams
I want people to be aware of the people going around giving phony things about sealing your driveways and blacktop, taking the money and not finishing the job and not giving you the contract that they promised to give you.

I never thought that anything as simple as live bait would cause me so much trouble. It seems there are a few people who took exception to some of the things I’ve written about recently. Both Spence Petros and Dave Kranz called me out for stating that your minnow bucket possibly could contain invasive species of fish mixed in with your chubs and shiners. They are correct in explaining to me that minnows are grown and raised, and they are not netted from open waters like they used to be. They explained that strict precautions are taken to make sure that nothing invasive can invade the bait tanks. That said, I do understand their point but they also will admit that on a rare occasion they have found baby bullheads and sticklebacks mixed in with their minnows. How does that happen, gentlemen? Nevertheless, throwing your leftover minnows into the water is a major no-no. Don’t do it! Throw them out or give them away. A couple of readers corrected me on a matter of bait availability. Both Dan Koch and Tim X (who says he is not a “name in the paper guy”) chimed in about being able to buy crickets, which are an excellent bait for bluegills. Dan and Tim let me know that live crickets are readily available at pet stores and are sold as food for reptiles. Hey! How would I know that? The only stores I go into are bait shops and tackle stores, for Pete’s sake! I have a few more random thoughts about live bait rambling through my noggin. I remember a few years back that many bait shops were carrying green nightcrawlers. Yes, I mean green in color. I guess the worms were fed diets of something that turned them green. No, I haven’t seen them around in a while, but someone must think that colored live bait is a good idea. A company named Vicious Fishing will be introducing
OUTDOORS Steve Sarley “Vicious Bait Dye” at the ICAST Show in Orlando this month. The product will color minnows, shrimp, squid and any other swimming baits by submersing them into a liquid. Vicious Bait Dye will be available in “Outrageous Orange,” “14-Carat Gold,” “Pretty-n-Pink” and “Predatory Purple.” Sounds mighty tasty, doesn’t it? The process to color bait can take as little as five minutes. Vicious Bait Dye will come in a four-ounce bottle, which can be used to color up to three dozen minnows and will retail for $9.99. Someone asked me if bait had to be alive for it to work. That is a common question. I would always put live minnows, leeches and worms on my hook before I would resort to using bait that has died. I have caught fish on dead bait, though. If you are trolling or drifting, a dead minnow, worm or leech is moving and could almost pass for being alive. If you are still fishing under a float, a dead critter looks like, well, a dead critter. It’s not as appetizing as the live version. Dead leeches are the worst of the deceased baits. They really look unnatural, in my humble opinion. On occasion, I have skewered two or three dead minnows onto a hook. I guess my thought pattern on this says that I am trying to make up for a bait’s freshness and liveliness with more quantity. It has worked for me on occasion. When I was young – many, many years ago – my father taught me to cover the hook with my worms. He felt that you had to hide the hook so the fish couldn’t see it. He’d thread his crawlers onto the hook and cover it completely. Sorry, Dad. I don’t think that effort is necessary. I’ve

caught plenty of fish by just putting the hook through the head or even rigging a live crawler wacky style. Even if a fish can see a hook, how the heck does it know what it is looking at? I like using nightcrawler harnesses with two hooks rather than three hooks. When using leeches, a single hook works best. Using a twohook harness just kills the action of your leech. To finish, loyal reader Ron Fredrick from Algonquin sent me a piece of artwork that looked somewhat like one of the old Whitman’s Samplers. It simply said, “Teach a man to fish… and he will keep bait in the fridge!”
Fishing report
Northern Illinois: “The cooler summer weather is helping to keep the fish a little shallower than normal. The slop fishing frog bite has been great! I like the Spro frog. It holds up well after many fish. The fishing at Three Oaks Recreation Area – Crystal Lake has been good. Use wacky worms, Robo worms on a drop shot rig, or the Defender jig with your favorite craw trailer. The catfish bite is non-stop on the Fox River. Use cut bait or stink bait,” Dave Kranz from Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports. Call 815455-2040 for an update. Lake Michigan: “Fishing has continued to be good. Most of the fish being caught are lake trout. Some king salmon and steelhead have added to the catch. Most of the lakers are being caught toward the bottom in 140 to 200 feet of water. Chrome metal dodgers with green SpinN-Glo’s tied 26 inches behind them have been the best laker bait. Spoons in the top 50 feet of the water column have been taking the steelhead and salmon,” according to Captain Bob Rossa of Migrator Charters. Call 815-338-8093 for more information.

Daniel Ressler ran cross country and track and field for Antioch before graduating in the spring. He’s committed to University of Wisconsin-Stout to continue his athletic career.
Ressler commits to NCAA track, cross country By TIM SIECK editorial@lakecountyjournal.com ANTIOCH – This week, Lake County Journal sports contributor Tim Sieck sat down with recent Antioch graduate Daniel Ressler. Ressler was a star for the Sequoits in both cross country and track. We learn when he realized he was a good athlete, his college plans and much more. Sieck: When did you realize you were a good athlete? Ressler: It’s awfully flattering to be asked when I realized I was “good,” but I would say I definitely increased my interest freshman year of high school
when I was running varsity cross country and keeping up with the seniors on my team. My whole running interest started when my gym teacher told me that I had potential in fifth grade after the mile run. Sieck: What have been your best individual running moments? Ressler: I would say my best moments would be achieving all-conference junior and senior year. Sieck: What has been your most embarrassing moment in sports? Ressler: It was during a cross country meet in Round

It’s very detrimental to the fish’s health to catch them at such high temps. Walleyes are fair on live bait. White bass are fair on break lines,” said Chris Taurisano of T-Bone Guide Service.

that athletes can’t control, and when adversity strikes late in their career, you just hope they aren’t too affected. For Carmel boys volleyball’s Kyle Zeman, a successful career was cut short his junior year by an ACL tear, but the injury showed little effect when he returned this spring. Zeman showed his determination in his senior year and he really didn’t miss a beat. The outside hitter finished with 187 kills, 93 digs, five blocks and 22 aces.

Sieck: What coach has had the biggest impact on your career? Ressler: My cross country and track coach Chris Bailey has helped me the most along the way. He has given me countless pieces of advice and is always supportive of not only my health, but the whole team’s. I would not be where I would be today as a runner without his help and guidance. He has made me a better distance runner and made running 11 miles seem actually fun when there is an ultimate goal in mind.

any other sport, it would be baseball. I played from T-ball all the way up to freshman year when I realized I really should do track if I want to take these sports seriously. I joined the track team my sophomore year, but I still love the game of baseball. Watching and playing it still has a place in my heart. Sieck: What are your college plans? Ressler: I am committed to University of Wisconsin–Stout and I am studying applied science in hopes of becoming a physician’s assistant. While there, I am running at the NCAA level in cross country and track and field.
Sieck: What was the best thing about running for Antioch? Ressler: The best thing would be the school spirit. Without a doubt, no matter how we perform, my team is always proud to be Sequoits.

GRAYSLAKE CENTRAL David Llorens
David Llorens was a star for Grayslake Central on both the baseball diamond and basketball court. Baseball is what Llorens will be playing in college at Heartland Community College in Normal after finishing a successful pitching career for the Rams. Basketball might have been his second-best sport based on his college sport choice, but in no way did he put up second-rate numbers. This past winter, Llorens averaged just under 11 points a game and four rebounds.
GRAYSLAKE NORTH Alex Carrillo
One of the most important positions on the baseball diamond is catcher and Grayslake North is fortunate to have a good one. Alex Carrillo led the Knights not only defensively, but was also a big bat for Grayslake North. In the spring, Carrillo had 39 hits for a batting average of .375. The catcher also had six extra-base hits and 22 RBIs.
LAKES
Maddie Demo
The Lakes girls volleyball team really had a nice season and a big reason for that was the play of setter Maddie Demo. Demo’s numbers were almost as impressive as her play on the court. Demo finished with 668 assists, which is almost unheard of. On the defensive side, Demo ended the season with 58 kills and 232 digs.

Not only was Hill dominant on the mound, he was just as effective as a batter. Hill led Warren with 41 RBIs and six home runs.
