LOTTERY WINNER: ROSE WHITE ROUND LAKE — Illinois lottery officials presented Round Lake resident Rose White with an oversized $1million check on Aug. 29.

“I nearly fell off my chair,” White said, after discovering that the numbers on her Powerball Quick Pick ticket perfectly matched the first five numbers – 05 – 25 – 30 – 58 – 59 – (32) – in the Wednesday Aug. 7 drawing to win $1 million.

White was at home when she checked the winning numbers on illinoislottery.com.

“I must have read the date and the numbers on my ticket at least five times,” White said.

She paced up and down her driveway, she said, waiting for her husband to come home so she could tell him the good news.

White has been an occasional Powerball player since the inception of the game more than three and a half years ago.

“I buy a ticket here and there, especially when the jackpots are really large, and I like to buy Quick Picks,” White said.

She and her husband Dave have lived in Round Lake for 28 years. They have six children

and 16 grandchildren.

“The kids are so happy for us,” White said.

Plans for the winnings include sharing with their children, paying bills, investing and “helping others.”

White bought her winning Powerball Quick Pick ticket at BP, 320 West Nippersink Road in Round Lake.

Illinois Lottery officials presented BP an oversized check for $10,000 as a bonus for selling the winning ticket.

White will receive $700,000 after required state and federal withholding.

Quick Powerball was introduced in Illinois on Jan. 31, 2010.

According to lotto officials, the overall odds of winning the jackpot are 1:175,000,000.

Drawings are at 9:59 p.m. every Wednesday and Saturday.

Powerball is played in 44 lottery jurisdictions across the country and the Jackpots start at $40 million.

Elizabeth Forster, an ElderCARE volunteer, left, plays a game of Scrabble with care receiver Betty Anderson in Lake County. To become a volunteer, call 847-406-4683 or visit www.eldercarelakecounty.org are so kind, you can’t believe how much kindness there is in people,” Michno said.

Having friendly persons to take her to appointments made the decision to stop driving a little easier, she said, although it still was very difficult.

“I drove for 60 years,” Michno said. “I cried like a little baby when I gave up my car. It was like giving my child away.”

She’s spent holidays with Paavilainen and has felt loved and cared for all these years, she said.

“You can’t part with a person like that,” Michno said.

“I talk to her about my life and she talks to me about her life … she’s my care giver and my friend.”

Grubbs said the program serves 450 care receivers a year. The friendly visits reduce isolation and the transportation to doctors and grocery stores “are simple services that allow care receivers to stay independent,”

she said.

Anne Frost of Lake Forest said the time she has spent as a volunteer to Myrtle Towne and her daughter Sharon Perini of North Chicago has taught her many lessons. She thinks she’s become a better person now that she understands the struggles some people endure.

Frost began her relationship with the mother and daughter when she started making volunteer friendly visits to Towne at their home in North Chicago.

Frost recalls that at first, they were both quiet and a bit reserved. Looking through Towne’s photo albums broke the ice.

“She started telling me about her family and I began telling her about mine,” Frost said. Their bond grew from there.

Towne passed away three years ago but Frost continued her work when Perini asked if she would then volunteer time with her.

“I could see how beautifully she handled my mother,” Perini said. “She’s just a loving, giving person.”

The two say their relationship is one of sisterhood.

Frost visits Perini once a week and when she does, she sits on the edge of Perini’s bed to have chats about everything friends talk about when they get together.

“I do have the gift of gab,” Perini said.

The two have met each other’s families and even though Perini has many health problems that cause chronic pain, Frost said her friend manages to keep a good attitude about life.

“She has many ailments but she just keeps going. She appreciates everything,” Frost said.

Perini hopes any person who needs help with tasks around the house or just a little companionship can find their way to the ElderCARE program so they, too, can have a friend like hers.

“She’s my personal angel,” Perini said. “There’s nothing that Anne hasn’t done for me.

Car show Sept. 7 to support ElderCARE ElderCARE is hosting a Rides for Elders Car Show from 10 to 3 p.m. Sept. 7 at the Christ Episcopal Church in Waukegan.

ElderCARE director Jill Grubbs said there will be food, dog agility demos and a hula hoop contest. This is the fourth event and registration for the car show is $15.

Grubbs said last year hundreds of people showed up and 45 classic cars registered.

For more information, call 847-406-4683.

Sophie Michno will be 92 years old this December. Soon she’ll be moving from her senior building in Grayslake to an assisted living center where she’ll have around-the-clock care.

For almost 15 years, she’s relied on her ElderCARE volunteer, Kathleen Paavilainen, to help her with buying her groceries and cleaning up around her apartment.

After Michno moves, she’ll no longer need that type of aid. But since Paavilainen has become more than just a volunteer in Michno’s life, the two will continue to see each other. It’s a thought that makes Michno happy.

“She’s like my daughter now,” Michno said of her ElderCARE volunteer turned close friend. “I can’t believe she’s been with me for all these years.”

Many relationships like these have been developed through the ElderCARE program, which began in 1998 and works out of the Christ Episcopal Church in Waukegan.

ElderCARE director Jill Grubbs said many of the volunteers develop friendships with their care receivers. It’s that bond that makes the program work so well, she said.

They have 350 volunteers from local congregations.

Through the program, the volunteers are matched to care receivers, who are 65 years and older and need a little help with tasks, such as getting groceries and putting them away and getting to medical appointments.

The volunteers also provide friendly visits.

The care receivers live in northern Lake County. Volunteers live throughout thecounty and beyond.

Michno said she not only appreciates her volunteer friend, but she also commends the program for the work it does in the community.

“It’s a very good organization. Every volunteer is good; the men are perfect gentlemen and the women

GET TO KNOW: KATHY THOMAN, SAVE THE MINEOLA even get out of the truck unless he was paid first, which is not how that works. In 1979 it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

By YADIRA SANCHEZ OLSON yolson@shawmedia.com It was a trip to the Fox Lake movie theater that initiated Wildwood resident Kathy Thoman’s quest to save the Mineola Hotel in Fox Lake. The hotel was constructed in 1884 as the Mineola Club, a private clubhouse for members of the Chicago Board of Trade and their families. In May 2012, the village deemed it unsafe and closed it. It was during a hectic morning last summer, after it closed, that led her to have a talk with owner Pete Jakstas. As an architecture historian and owner of Character Builders, a company that recycles material from soon to be demolished or renovated buildings, Thoman is accustomed to working with old, decrepit buildings. But she was too late. It had been closed; its windows and doors boarded up.

What was it that made you want to work on saving the Mineola?

The fact that this building could be lost. It’s the last one of its kind from the resort era. It’s the only one that when you walk in, it looks just like it did back in the day. All the other ones have been torn down, turned into private homes or remodeled to the point where they don’t look like anything that use to be back in that era, so to lose the last one was heart breaking for me. I don’t want that for me, for my kids or for the people of Fox Lake. So, I sat and thought about that all weekend, whether I wanted to or not, it was in my head just bugging me. By Monday [in June 2012] I had planned to save it.

Where are you in that process?

Well, it’s my first save so I’m learning as I go along.

The most amazing thing we (Save the Mineola partner Rachel Lutz) got to do was go to Springfield for the announcement that Landmarks Illinois put [the Mineola Hotel] on the most endangered list. It is one of the 10 most

How can people help save the Mineola?

Yadira Sanchez Olson — yolson@shawmedia.com

Kathy Thoman wants to save the Mineola Hotel in Fox Lake. Al Capone is rumored to have spent time there. endangered landmarks for 2013. That was quite an experience, to look down at the senate floor where they make laws and to have a meeting in the senator’s office. It was really cool to bring my kids with me. We are a non-for -profit corporation and right now we’re in the middle of applying for charitable status.

The problem is it costs $800 to apply and if you screw up, that money is gone. It’s a big responsibility.

Are you working with the Jakstas family to save it?

On the board is myself, Rachel Lutz and Joy Hamm Scherer. There are 1,200 [people] that support it [through Facebook], but there are only about five people who are doing all the work. I’ve gotten to know the family very well and I’ve never seen a family work harder.

What’s been the reaction from people?

I hear a lot of stories and most people are so happy I’m doing this. People say to me, ‘You gotta save the Mineola,’ and then they start telling me all these stories of why.

What are some of the stories you’ve heard?

A man out of nowhere said to me, ‘my grandfather took my father and my father took me and then I took my son

there for his first drink.’

A woman in her 80s told me she remembers going to the Mineola with her husband to the Firefighter’s Ball and when she was a little girl she would go with her grandmother who liked to play the slot machines. That’s what the Mineola was famous for, the slot machines. When her grandmother would win, all these nickels would come flying down and she would try to catch them all with her dress.

People ask me about bringing back the fireworks but I tell them one thing at a time.

There are a couple different developers looking at the property right now. Landmarks Illinois has been instrumental every step of the way. They sent an independent party to look at it and it was found structurally sound.

They’re also talking to developers on our behalf.

What is your relationship like with the new administration of the Village of Fox Lake?

The new administration has been nothing but kind to us and have bent over backwards to help us.

For example, we are planning a rummage sale on Sept. 27 through 29 and I told them about it. At first they said businesses having outdoor sales is prohibited but we worked together to find a loophole because we are a

non-profit.

We have a Motorcycle Poker Run on Oct. 19 and I really wanted to have it in the parking lot of the Mineola. The administration tried to help make that happen but because we no longer have a permit for the kitchen or the alcohol it couldn’t be. We’re having it at the Route 12 Grill and we’re so thankful to them.

I don’t think anyone wants to be the administration who demolished the Lady of the Lake.

What is special about the hotel? Why should people try to save it?

It was built in 1884. I believe that’s around the time when the Statue of Liberty was built. It was a favorite hangout of Al Capone. Pete (Jakstas) had a shelf in the bar with a lot of Al Capone memorabilia. It had a horse barn because guests got there by horse carriage. There was a lot of additional property. It has a lot of stories and a lot of history. It then became a private hotel and an extension was added for more rooms, that’s why the tower is off center. It was in the Howard family for a long time but I believe at one point there were 14 owners in 16 years. By the time the Jakstas family bought it in 1943 it had a very bad reputation. The guy who brought the beer would not

They can buy a T shirt from the website (www.savethemineola.org) or from the save the Mineola facebook page or call 847-750-6463. We have eight different designs and they’re $20. People can come to our events. If they have items to donate to the rummage sale, call me. If people can bake, bake something for the rummage sale bake sale. Be a walking billboard for the Mineola. At the rummage sale people can walk around the outside and see what they’re supporting.

Maybe later we can give walking tours of the outside, that may be the biggest fundraiser we can do. Another really cool thing we’re trying to do is have Ghost Hunters or the Dead Files and Lake County Paranormal come out. It would be amazing if the Mineola was on TV.

How much money will it take to save it?

I believe Landmarks Illinois’s report said it would be $1.4 million just to get it up to par, but I would love to see a green renovation with solar panels where we don’t have an electric bill and geothermal heating and cooling, where we’re not paying a heating bill. When you have a 225-foot long wooden structure, that’s a lot of upkeep.

What does it look like now?

Dark and damp and kind of scary. It has a large ballroom.

There’s a big mural on the wall that someone painted of Fox Lake. There’s a bathroom at the end of the hall that guests shared and the rooms are as small as shoebox. That would change. It will have air conditioning and the rooms will have their own bathroom and be bigger. Some people have said to me that’s its too late for the Mineola, but was it too late for the Lehman Mansion or the Genesee Theatre? ... I don’t think so.

Road construction signs are in place at Rollins Road and Route 83 where the intersection will be lowered and the railroad tracks lifted above traffic. community meeting was held July 31 and close to 500 people attended.

“People’s biggest concern was how long it would take and would Rollins be closed,” Molnar said.

Once the pre-stage construction, which involves utlity work, is over in a couple of weeks, Molnar said temporary lanes will be designated for traffic while construction is under way.

He added that a closure may happen here and there throughout the day once construction does start. Molnar said drivers need to pay attention to the road since signs will be changing as progress

Mill Creek Watershed group works to improve water quality

By JOHN ROSZKOWSKI lcjedit@lakecountyjournal.com GRAYSLAKE - Improving water quality of local streams and lakes and reducing flooding are the goals of a new study being spearheaded by the Lake County Stormwater Management Commission.

The Mill Creek Watershed and Flood Mitigation Planning Committee has been meeting since February to discuss ways to address water quality issues in Mill Creek and 10 inland lakes in the Grayslake, Gurnee, Lindenhurst and Old Mill Creek area.

The group is working to develop a master plan that can be used by county and local officials to improve water quality in the Mill Creek watershed, a 31-square mile planning area stretching from the southern end of Grayslake to Wadsworth.

“This is great because when it’s done we will have a master plan for the Mill Creek watershed that gives us a basis for future grant applications and restoration efforts,” said County Board member Steve Carlson, R-7th, of Gurnee, a member of the Stormwater Management Commission who serves on the planning committee.

The master plan’s objective is to “improve water quality, reduce flooding, protect natural resources, reduce and manage stormwater runoff and educate

the public on how we can achieve those goals,” said Patty Werner of the Lake County Stormwater Management Commission.

Much of the plan will focus on Mill Creek, which begins near the landfill in Grayslake and runs north through Grayslake, Gurnee, Lindenhurst and Old Mill Creek, ending on forest preserve property near Wadsworth where it drains into the Des Plaines River. Several factors are impacting the water quality of the creek and contributing to flooding problems for nearby property owners, said Mike Prusila of the Stormwater Management Commission.

A recent inventory of the stream found shoreline erosion problems throughout the watershed as well as channelization in some areas. Creek flow also was being impacted by other factors such as fallen tree limbs and debris, beaver dams and manmade structures such as old dams or culverts, Prusila said.

The master plan is also looking at ways to improve water quality in 10 lakes in the area that have been identified by the Illinois EPA to have issues. Some of the lakes being studied are Gages Lake, Grays Lake, Lake Miltmore and Third Lake.

The group is working on developing a list of goals and recommendations to improve water quality, reduce flooding and stormwater runoff and protect wildlife and natural resources.

Some of the group’s recommendations are relatively innocuous such as encouraging homeowners to plant rain gardens and bioswales to reduce water runoff from their yards. Others are more controversial. One of these is whether to ennact ordinances and standards requiring that sump pump and downsprout discharges be directed to lawns and gardens and infiltrated.

Werner said too often downsprouts empty onto driveways or other hard surfaces, causing excess water and pollutants to run into streams, lakes and storm sewers. Redirecting some of that water to natural gardens or yards would reduce some of those negative impacts and improve water quality, she said.

Werner said the group will not be finished with its work until next spring or summer and many of the recommendations are still preliminary. She said the plan and its recommendations eventually will have to be adopted by the Stormwater Management Commission, the Lake County Board and local municipalities in the watershed study area.

More information about the plan is available on the county’s website at http://www.lakecountyil.gov/Stormwater/LakeCountyWatersheds/DesPlainesRiver/Pages/MillCreek.aspx.

ROUND LAKE – Business owners at the Mallard Creek shopping center in Round Lake are preparing for the Rollins Road Gateway Project, which will make it more difficult for their customers to get into the parking areas. In November, Rollins Road could be closed for two weeks, but access to all businesses will remain, officials said.

The multi-million dollar project will put the intersection of Rollins Road and Route 83 below the railroad tracks and add more lanes. The project is estimated to cost $31 million and be completed by December 2014.

Some business owners at the Mallard Creek shopping center said they’re afraid when construction starts in a few weeks, their patrons won’t know they’re open or won’t want to deal with the construction and will shop elsewhere.

Rosati’s Pizza owner Lou Baratta said he’s been there for 20 years but he’ll still put flags on the patch of grass in front of his store so people know he’s open. Getting to work doesn’t worry him as much as having his deliveries on time.

He’s starting to think about what he can offer costumers so he won’t lose them.

“Deliveries will be a headache but people will want their food delivered. I’m thinking I might have to waive the delivery fee,” Baratta said.

He doesn’t think there’s been enough information made available by the village about the project.

He said the website is confusing and he doesn’t know when construction will start or end.

“The village should have meetings and send letters,” Baratta said.

Resident project manager Mark Molnar said a

is made.

He suggests motorists visit www.rollinsroadgateway.com and sign up to get email alerts.

Detour information will be available at the website, and there will be signs on the streets.

Al Giertych, assistant county engineer of the Lake County Division of Transportation said, when the construction is done “the entire intersection of Rollins Road and Route 83 will be below the railroad tracks.”

Two left turn lanes will also be added to Rollins Road along with one right turn lane.

The intersection will be 20 feet below the new Wisconsin Central Ltd. Railroad tracks. Traffic crossing the intersection will no longer have to wait for any of the 50 trains that pass through each day.

“Traffic stops so close to the intersection that it disrupts traffic signal flow,” Giertych said. “It takes about four to five cycles for flow to get up to optimal speed again.”

Giertych added that 24,000 vehicles travel across the tracks.

Antioch resident Jim Fransee said although the construction will cause some delays, the construction is “long overdue because it’s a nightmare with the trains and the traffic jams.”

Janice and Dwayne Nicholson, who live across the street from the project, wanted to put their house on the market but their realtor suggested they wait until the construction of the Rollins Road Gateway Project is over, because it might affect the sale.

“I guess we’ll have to wait now,” Janice said.

Dwayne added he hopes the project will include flowers pots and trees by the intersection to make the streets and neighborhood look nice.

Business owners prepare for Gateway Project

Six Flags announces Goliath, new coaster GURNEEE - In Six Flags Great America’s next season, park goers will have the opportunity to conquer a giant named Goliath.

The roller coaster will break three world records as the fastest wooden roller coaster in the world and will feature the world’s tallest and steepest drop, Hank Salemi, park president announced Aug. 29 at the park.

Goliath will be located in place of the Iron Wolf roller coaster, which moved to another park two years ago. Goliath will open sometime in 2014. The ride will feature a 3,100-foot track that travels 72 mph through two inversions, three over-banked turns, a 180-degree roll and a 180-foot drop that tunnels underground, Salemi said.

After Goliath is built, “Six Flags Great America will have more wooden coasters

than any park in the world,” he said.

Donna Stutzman, Gurnee resident, was at the park announcement so she could pass the news along to her coaster-crazed son.

Stutzman said Goliath’s 85-degree drop may make it a new favorite for her family.

“We like the wood ones because of the air time,” when hills make riders move up in their seats, she said.

“Wooden coasters seem to be a trend,” Stutzman said.

“We were excited to go on Outlaw Run this summer, a new wooden coaster in Silver Dollar City in Missouri, and we’re excited to see a similar ride in Gurnee. All of us got off [Outlaw Run] saying it was the fastest one we ever rode, and Goliath might beat it. We’ll be in line when it opens.”

“We plan to grow old together.

Getting the right cancer treatment is part of that plan.“

“Finding out your husband has stage 3 colon cancer is scary, especially when you have young children and plans for the future. Cancer Treatment Centers of America® helped us take control again. Not only does my husband get the individualized treatment options he needs, I get the support I need.”

Wauconda resident Tony Galatte and Vernon Hills resident Dave Galatte win money for their invention.

By HANNAH NICKELSON lcjedit@lakecountyjournal.com WAUCONDA - Dave Galatte was not expecting to win anything at his first trade show, INPEX (the Invention and New Product Exposition) held in Pittsburg late this June, let alone the first place Grand Prix Award and cash prize of $7,500.

“We had some people telling us during the week, other inventors, that we would win,” Dave Galatte, the Vernon Hills inventor said.

“We just thought they were being nice and complimentary.”

Galatte’s brother and business partner Tony Galatte of Wauconda was also there to share in the accolades. The brothers are selling the product online for about $3,000 at championtailgate. com.

While most tailgaters deal with having to force the buckets, grill and other necessary tailgating items into their cars, the Tailgate Kitchen uses a stainless steel, streamlined design to make packing and unloading simple. The Tailgate Kitchen rolls out of a vehicle’s trunk.

At the expo, the Tailgate Kitchen wowed all across the board. Those who showed interest included manufacturers, other inventors, venture capitalists and marketers, Dave said. “Winning the first [trade show], was not what we expected, but obviously we’re very excited that it happened.”

Dave, who used his family’s experiences as serious tailgaters to design and improve the Tailgate Kitchen, said he decided to sell it only after he realized that people would want to buy it.

“The first three years it was a hobby. We weren’t trying to bring it to market,” he said.

“When people started asking where we bought it, we took it more seriously.”

Before the Tailgate Kitchen, Dave had never invented anything and worked in information technology. While he still works at his full-time IT job, his invention has been turned into an actual business - called Champion Tailgate - since 2010. It was only when he and his wife tailgated at Purdue, his daughter’s college, that he realized the hardships involved in transport and setup.

“On the drive back,” Dave said, “my wife and I decided that we needed to make it a lot easier.”

Thus the prototypes for the Tailgate Kitchen were born.

While the main market of the Tailgate Kitchen is mostly Americans and tailgaters, international interest at INPEX suggested to the Galattes that the invention would also appeal to campers. It is designed in particular for SUVs and pickup trucks, said Dave.

“Once [people] use it, they see how quickly it sets up - less than 10 minutes for the full tailgate, full-size grill. The way our system is designed, you don’t have to carry it. It wheels out.”

While the prize money will go back into the company, Dave said, winning the show has opened some doors, given them publicity and gotten companies and investors interested.

“There is still a lot of work for bringing [the invention] out of the prototype where it is today,” he said.

Tony Galatte said they’re continuing to improve the product.

“I think it will be a work in process, just like any new product,” Tony said, “and we’ll be adding new accessory items to the product line. I’m sure we’ll think about new things as time goes on. [It’s an] evolution.

“When you’re creating something with no previous experience, it makes it tough. There’s a lot of work involved,” Tony said, mentioning that the use of stainless steel in the product was a particularly tough area for the brothers.

“You get frustrated and you do it again, and you do it again,” he said. The Tailgate Kitchen is the first invention he has worked on, although he defers most of the credit to his brother. “I have to give all the creative compliments to my brother Dave,” he said. “He’s the inventor. He’s the guy who designed it in his mind, and actually brought it to life.”

Tony does not consider himself a big tailgater. “I just believe in the idea,” he said of the Tailgate Kitchen, but added that he has been to about 30 to 40 tailgating events since.

Oftentimes, he said, “planning for tailgating takes a lot of work. Some people start their planning days in advance.” His brother’s brainchild, he hopes, will relieve the stress put on those tailgaters as they pack and load their vehicles.

“We think it’s awesome, since it’s our product,” he joked, “and since we won the award at the show, it showed us that other people think that it’s pretty cool, too.”

The brothers have big plans for the invention. “One day, I hope we can sell [the Tailgate Kitchen] in your Home Depots or Lowes, or maybe specialty stores,” Tony said.

GURNEE — Tap and slide.

Tap and slide.

In a nut shell, this is what William Simpson of Gurnee and 10 other seniors learned during an instructional iPad class held at the Warren Township Senior Center recently.

It was the perfect opportunity for Simpson to get better acquainted with the new gadget he received for his 88 th birthday in February.

Like a kid with a new toy, “he plays with it every day,� said his daughter Gwen Bruno.

With a tap, Senior Center technical specialist Alex Rossmann showed the group they can go onto millions of websites to shop and get information on virtually any subject, play movies or songs they download and even create photos.

With a slide of their finger they could move from one screen to another, turn the page of a virtual book

and adjust the volume.

Amazed faces looked back at Rossmann during the twohour class, but it was after he introduced the camera feature on the iPad that he got the most oohs, ahs and giggles from his audience.

Mary Jo Kollross of Gurnee was thrilled with the FaceTime feature on her iPad, which allows a twoway camera conversation to happen. “Now, I can FaceTime with my daughter in California,� Kollross said.

She added she appreciated Rossmann’s patience with the class, half of which was somewhat familiar with the device, the other half beginners.

After every step, Rossmann made sure each student understood the process so he could go on to the next one.

Some of the students looked a little overwhelmed at times, while others seemed as if they had found the Lost City of Atlantis,

Community works to improve kindergarten readiness

By LAKE COUNTY JOURNAL lcjedit@lakecountyjournal.com ROUND LAKE - Round Lake Area BEST (Bringing Everyone’s Strengths Together) is tackling the challenge of helping more kindergarten students in the Round Lake area to start school ahead of, instead of behind the learning curve.

BEST formed a kindergarten readiness committee to work on the issue.

Committee members will be visiting local pediatrician offices in the coming weeks to educate these providers about community resources and to encourage them to help identify toddlers and parents who can use extra support in developing the fundamentals for life-long learning.

BEST is a community coalition of individuals, organization, businesses and local governments, which recently hosted its first kindergarten readiness committee event called Wake Up and Smell the Coffee.

The committee chaired

by BEST Vice President Judy Armstrong, orga-

nized the event that featured a panel of eight local experts including District 116 Superintendent Connie Collins and Avon Township Clerk Jeanne Kearby. They presented the educational challenges in the Round Lake Area and then opened the format to an interactive conversation and brainstorming event.   Nick Heckel, principal at the Round Lake Area Early Education Center and panel participant said that out of 470 students enrolling at the early education center for kindergarten, 350 of them have not attended pre-school. Family economics likely plays a role in that statistic, said Wendy Warden, a board member of BEST. “There are not public (free) pre-schools in the Round Lake area,� she said.   Panel member Meredith Egan, United Way Lake County talked about its Success By Six program, which has been implemented in the Round Lake area. United Way said it has training and stipends available for Early Learning Clubs which will teach parents how reading to their toddlers and encouraging conversations about life’s

5 keys to a successful Bears season in 2013 Hub Arkush So you want me to tell you what I think are the keys to the Bears’ 2013 season?

With so much that is new, and too much that is old on this club, we could fill a book with keys to this season. So let’s start right there.

1. Can Marc Trestman in his first turn as an NFL head coach take an aging group of veterans, plug in rookies and key youngsters to almost every unit, and install and execute his offense that, when compared to what the vets had before, will be like asking them to learn to speak a new language practically overnight?

The classic excuse made for quarterback Jay Cutler’s failure to produce relative to his unquestioned natural abilities is that in his first four years in Chicago, he had three different offenses

and three different coordinators. Welcome No. 4. Why will this be different?

If Cutler blocks out everything but Trestman, and does exactly what he’s told, this just might succeed hugely. If he becomes distracted, frustrated, impatient, arrogant or any of the other states of mind he’s been accused of inhabiting before, look out below.

2. The offensive line is being celebrated for it’s four new starters, including the two rookies – Kyle Long and Jordan Mills – on the right side. If they can make a leap from one of the worst units in the league over the past three seasons to just average, 2013 can be a ton of fun.

If they can’t, none of what Trestman will try to do will work.

Newer is not always better. Clearly this group is more talented than it’s been in years with the additions of Jermon Bushrod and Long. But sometimes talent isn’t enough, and what we’ve actually seen so far is snippets of these guys against two of the worst defensive lines in the league – San Diego and Oakland. There is good cause to hope for

Note to readers:

Hub Arkush covers the Bears for Shaw Media. Read more at HubArkush.com the best, but the jury is still way out on this one.

3. If you are more worried about the defense than the offense, you are justified. Julius Peppers, Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman are the keys to the success of this unit, and, quite simply, they are old by NFL standards. None appear in danger of dropping even half a step, and they can’t if the Bears are to contend.

Argue all you want about the physical contributions Brian Urlacher was still able to bring to the table, his contributions as a coach on the field can’t be replaced. Israel Indonije was the second best defensive lineman on the team.

Nick Roach was solid in his spot and Urlacher’s, when necessary, and Kelvin Hayden at least knew what he was doing as the nickel back. Regardless of how you replace all of that, it represents so

much that your all-pros have to be allpros for the defense to succeed.

4. The early returns on Trestman are promising, and I’m very impressed by what I’ve seen so far.

But the reason his hiring was such a surprise around the league and even a tad controversial in some circles is that this guy’s a different kind of cat, and not what any of us are used to in an NFL head coach.

Because of his pleasant personality and professorial approach, we have no idea how it will wear or work when the time comes for him to get tough with someone, and it will happen. If he has to rally the troops or try and win one for the Gipper, will the players be listening, and, if they are, will it be with a straight face.

I’m beginning to believe he can do it, but there’s still a lot of highway between here and there.

5. Every team in the NFL prays for good health, as do all of us as fans.

For the Bears, it is an absolute must if they’re going to contend.

There might be a slight risk, but the potential upside is huge.

And even though Pierre Garcon, coming off a torn ligament in 2012, wasn’t among anyone’s list of top 30 fantasy receivers heading into 2013, start him in Week One in this matchup.

Running back Alfred Morris and tight end Fred Davis are no-brainers. If you own either of them, make sure they’re in your lineup.

By J.C. TALON Fantasy Football Columnist Our drafts are over. Week 1 of the NFL – and fantasy football – season is upon us.

You’re fairly happy with your team. The starters at most of your positions are no-brainers. But there are a couple that are tough decisions.

Here’s where I might be able to help:

MATCHUPS TO EXPLOIT Oakland at Indianapolis, noon Sunday

The Raiders’ starting defense looked – how shall we say this? – COMPLETELY AWFUL against the Bears in preseason game No. 3, the only one that matters.

But the Colts do have plenty of uncertainty at running back.

Free agent Ahmad Bradshaw had offseason foot surgery and has been rehabbing, and, let’s face it, Vick Ballard isn’t scaring anyone.

Even though the Indy offense might be one-dimensional early in the season, there’s no reason to think the Raiders’ defense can take advantage.

Quarterback Andrew Luck and wide receiver Reggie Wayne are obvious starts, but you might also consider playing receiver T.Y. Hilton and tight end

Houston at San Diego, 9:15 p.m. Monday

Coby Fleener as well.

Philadelphia at Washington, 6 p.m. Monday

The Eagles’ defense allowed 27.8 points per game last season, tied with the Jacksonville Jaguars for third most in the NFL. After firing Andy Reid, the longest-tenured head coach in the NFL, who did they go out and get?

Former Oregon Ducks head coach Chip Kelly, considered an offensive genius by many, but not noted for his defensive innovations. That bodes well for opposing offenses, and fantasy owners with players from Philly opponents.

Running back Arian Foster has a back injury that could bother him all year, but this should be a good matchup for him. The Chargers don’t look very good on defense.

Quarterback Matt Schaub, not necessarily a fantasy stud the past couple of years, and Andre Johnson also have favorable matchups. This should be a bounce back year for both.

Don’t be surprised if the Texans, on the cusp of great things last season, are a little more aggressive on offense this season after playing conservatively in recent years.

If you’re pressed for a running back and own Ben Tate, you might want to play him even though he’s not expected to start. With Foster’s injury, Tate will get some carries, including possibly on the goal line.

While they sat in their seats with either their own iPads, those provided by the senior center or lent by School District 56, the seniors watched attentively, puzzled at times, as Rossmann navigated through all the characteristics of the iPad on a projected image on the wall, which he manipulated with his fingers.

Games, movies,YouTube, weather from anywhere in the world, Wi-fi and email, Rossmann tried to touch on everything the device can offer.

Wayne Maczko, of Round Lake Beach, volunteers at the USO of Illinois at Naval Station Great Lakes.

Lakes USO center director, said volunteers must undergo training and a background investigation, which is conducted by Naval Station Great Lakes. Anyone over the age of 18 is welcome to apply to volunteer, and those younger than 18 must be accompanied by a guardian.

Volunteers “do everything from preparing meals, running the media room, putting on movies and general maintenance, like taking the garbage out,” McElligott said.

“Our motto is home away from home.”

We run on donations and volunteers.”

Cerer said some service members are surprised to learn about the USO, and she hopes more on base take advantage of what it has to offer.

“When they walk in for the first time, they’re like, ‘Wow, this is like Christmas,’” she said.

For Wayne Maczko, an Army veteran and volunteer at the USO, being able to meet military members and offer a listening ear is his way of giving back.

His mother served as a USO volunteer in World War II and his father fought in World War II. When Maczko, of Round Lake Beach, isn’t busy making coffee, cleaning up or helping with other chores, he’s chatting with the men and women who walk through the USO’s doors.

game systems, computers, TVs and a kitchen and dining area. The goal, said Cerer, is to give all of those who stop by an opportunity to relax and have fun. The USO building even features a kids play room, stocked with Disney movies, stuffed animals and other toys for those military or staff members with young children.

Cerer, of Twin Lakes, Wisc., grew up as a self-described “Army brat” and has a 19-year-old son serving with the U.S. Navy. She became involved with the USO while her son was stationed at Naval Station Great Lakes.

The USO is more than just a place to hang out – it’s a place to feel welcome and supported, she said.

“The camaraderie here is awesome,” she said. “They think of this place as their home. A few of them call me mom. They’re really a great group [of men and women].

I make them special things, sometimes chocolates.

GREAT LAKES - Michele Cerer has just two rules for those visiting the United Service Organization building at Naval Station Great Lakes – say please when asking for something and walk through the door with a smile.

Cerer, volunteer staff with the USO of Illinois at Naval Station Great Lakes, said she loves interacting with Navy recruits, active duty and base staff members throughout her weekend shifts.

The USO is a nonprofit organization that while not a part of the U.S. government, is recognized by the U.S. Department of Defense and other branches and offers a safe recreational space for service men and women and their families. USO branches are located throughout the country and internationally where U.S. military men and women are stationed. Ninety percent of the military men and women the Great Lakes USO serves are junior sailors at Naval Station Great Lakes who are attending military speciality schools.

Derek Craig, active duty, was enjoying a day off Aug. 17 with other service members while James Lindley, active duty, played tunes on a piano.

“It’s a nice atmosphere,” Craig said. “It’s opening.”

For Blake Borges, active duty, it’s all about “the food.”

Food items, such as hot dogs, cookies and more are all free for those on the base who stop by.

The USO depends on donations to support its amenities and activities, such as No Dough Dinners – free hot meals offered year-round, which also attract military spouses and their children who have a parent overseas.

And, on Sunday mornings, base members are treated to a home-cooked breakfast. Cerer makes sure to pick up chocolate chips the night before for chocolate chip pancakes.

“Everybody just loves them,” Cerer said, adding that 400 to 450 base members usually stop by.

The building offers places to lounge, pool tables, video

USO Continued from page 23 “I look forward to [volunteering] every week,” Maczko said.

Maczko can relate to what what many servicemen and women are going through.

He was stationed in Germany during the Vietnam War. “When I went to Germany, I was responsible for a whole platoon of vehicles. I was lead mechanic. Here I am 18 years old and I’m driving a 27-ton

vehicle,” he said, adding that many of the service people he chats with are young and have a great deal of responsibility.

“I get to thank everybody for serving, and when they see me with my Army stuff they say, ‘Thank you, sir.’

“We’re all brothers in arms,” he said.

Monarch festival offers culture, art

By YADIRA SANCHEZ OLSON yolson@shawmedia.com The annual migration of the monarch butterflies from Illinois to Michoacan, Mexico, is the inspiration for a festival that drew 1,000 people last year to the heart of Waukegan.

The Lake County Monarch Festival, scheduled 1 to 4 p.m.

Sept. 8, is dedicated to raising awareness about nature, art and culture in the community.

The event will be held outside the Waukegan Public Library, 128 N. County St. This year’s theme is Migration to Good Health with a focus on healthy living through physical activity.

Programming manager Rena Morrow said the library partners with local organizations and businesses who are also interested in providing the community with nature and culture. Included are Vista Health, Lake County United, the Latino Coalition and the Waukegan Park District.

Children who attend will get a passport and activity book on the monarch butterfly and have a chance to make their own migration through eight booths with activities such as hula hooping and dancing.

At the end of their destination, they’ll have the opportunity to take their stamped passport and exchange it for raffle tickets for varied prizes, which include Great America and Chicago Fire passes and memberships to gyms and mu-

seums.

“Everything is free except the four or five food vendors,” Morrow said. “It’s just a fun event for families.”

Other activities include henna tattoos, a farmers market, a climbing wall, dancers from local cultural groups and zumba and skateboarding demonstrations.

A Rosalind Franklin University Health System medical coach will also offer free school sports physicals along with cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure tests for families.

Elizabeth Stearns, assistant director of community services for the library, helped create the annual festival, which started as a research project with funding from The Field Museum, the Friends of Ryerson Woods and the Lake County Forest Preserves.

“They recommended Waukegan be a hub for nature and culture in the community,” Stearns said.

She added that every year she sees more local entrepreneurs participating in the festival.

“This is a good thing for a city to cultivate,” Stearns said.

She added the monarchs represent this area well because butterflies freely cross borders. Monarch butterfly numbers have been declining due to climate change and loss of habitat, according to a library press release. For more information, call 847-623-2041.

Borcia case needs closure

No one goes out boating on a summer afternoon and anticipates losing their 10-year-old son. But that is what happened to the Borcia family on Petite Lake last year. Jim Borcia’s son Tony got killed by a boat driver under the influence of cocaine and alcohol. This is horrific. The driver of the boat pleaded guilty of having cocaine and alcohol in his system and striking the boy. He manned up to his responsibility, and the justice system sentenced him to 10 years in jail. For all practical purposes his life is ruined. Now the parents of the victim have lawsuits pending against the driver and passenger, and most recently the rental boat company and the Fox

Waterway Agency. This is a frivolous action. They claim that the boat rental operator should have informed him of the danger in Petite Lake. Would a warning have stopped them from renting the boat, taking their coolers, swimsuits and tubes and returning home? Admittedly, the Borcia family may have a valid case for limiting boat sizes, speed limits or specific areas for tubing, but these should be addressed by the proper authorities not the courts. They have already used their influence on state lawmakers to pass breathalyzer legislation. A prolonged court battle will force them to relive that haunting afternoon and interfere with the grieving process.

–Joe Guarise, Fox Lake

SeeingItThrough

Look beyond statistics toward human issues When I served in the legislature, I found out quickly that on a great number of issues, the finality of the matters would turn on which side worked the hardest, usually with influence, on the issues.

It was a fact that money matters can be complex and boring, so many legislators find little time to analyze them.

It always amazed people when I told them that in the closings days of sessions when state budgets were debated and passed, very little discussion is done.

That’s because the volume of dollars don’t always mesh ways in which the appropriations are being spent. Once in a while a legislator raises a pet issue

John S. Matijevich

involving uses of the floor to advocate his interest.

But, by the time the huge spending makes it toward final action, it’s so cut and dried, that the bills usually sail out of the legislature.

Having served as chairman of an appropriation committee, I did find, however, that it is important to tie the bind between what is needed to be done, and what it costs to do it.

So, I have learned that many boring statistics,

if you dig deep enough, can have enlightened side effects.

Let me give you an example of one statistic I read recently that caught my attention that there had to be much more behind it.

The statistic was that about 96,000 homeowners had their foreclosure-abuse issues settled because of “clerical errors.”

My first thought was that if that many homeowners were involved with legal matters with their mortgage banks, how many more clerical errors were swept under the rug and how many financial institutions escaped any liability.

The most amazing part of the settlement was that these homeowners were

underpaid at an amount totaling almost $45 million dollars.

Let’s face it. When people are trying to get a home mortgage loan, the paper trail is over their heads and they place complete trust in the financial institution authorizing the loan.

The foreclosure crisis that the country endured has proved that much of that trust in banks was misplaced, and many innocent people lost their homes in the process.

Many banks will allege that they, too, lost big time, in the mortgage meltdown.

Whatever losses that the banks suffered were of their own doing.

They were approving loans to applicants who

didn’t have the capability of satisfying the loan terms.

The banks knew that, and the rest, unfortunately, is history.

The lesson learned here is that statistics are more than numbers.

Behind those numbers can be important, sometimes troubling, human issues that deserve further investigation.

Proof of that is that the whole foreclosure fiasco has never received the full and final scrutiny in how the country’s fiscal crisis developed and so many innocent victims lost their hopes to recover from it.

John S. Matijevich served in the Illinois Legislature from 1967 to 1992.

question?”

“Well, I remember coming into the kindergarten room with my mother and looking at all these kids I’d never seen before. And there was this old lady standing near the blackboard. I’m pretty sure that then I threw myself on the floor and screamed, `Never leave me, Mommy.’”

“Did she stay?”

“No, she told the old lady at the blackboard that she was a neighbor doing a favor for my real mother and ran out of the room.”

“I assume the old lady was the teacher,” Emma says. “Did she comfort you?”

“She put her arms around me and said, `There, there.’”

“That was sweet, Grandma. Did she remind you of your own grandma?”

“Yes. They both smelled like moth balls.”

“Then what happened?”

“A boy named Curtis bit me.”

“Did the teacher call the nurse?”

“No, the teacher assured me Curtis was not rabid.”

Emma sighs. “Tell me what you learned in kindergarten that first day.”

“I learned not to go near Curtis.”

Now my granddaughter rolls her eyes and looks at her iPad notes.

“Do you have a paper from your first day?

Mom says you save everything. She says you’re a

. . . ,” she stops and ponders, ‘boarder.’”

I think to myself that Emma could have turned the word “hoarder” into much worse, and retrieve my kindergarten scrapbook.

On page one is a drawing marked, “Judi’s First Day of Kindergarten Artwork.” It’s a stick figure with four legs.

“Is that a table?” Emma asks.

“It’s a dog! Can’t you see the little head?”

Emma studies the picture carefully. “No,” she says.

“Well, it must have worn away over the years,” I say, my voice rising in frustration.

“Want to see my Day 1 kindergarten assignment?” she asks. “It’s on my first-generation iPad.” She pulls it out of her backpack.

“Oh, Emma,” I say, “you made a drawing of numerals. How neat!”

“It’s an algebraic equation,” Emma says. I hear “duh” under her breath.

“I’m so sorry, Emma,” I tell her. “I never heard of algebra until I got into high school. I should have known things have changed.”

Emma puts her arms around me and says, “There, there, Grandma.”

I wonder if I smell like moth balls.

Award-winning columnist Judi Veoukas writes from her Lake Villa home.

• Edition of September 5-September 11, 2013

My third-grader granddaughter Judi has an assign“Interview Veoukas ment, your grandmother to learn what her first day of kindergarten was like.”

I can’t help but overhear granddaughter Emma question her mother as she drops her off at my house for the q and a.

She says, “Do you think that Grandma Judi can actually remember?”

“I think,” her mother says, “that her shortterm memory is shot, but her long-term one is amazing, whether anyone wants it to be or not.”

My granddaughter gets her iPad out of her backpack and says to me, “Let’s get started.”

“You have an iPad? You’re 8,” I say.

Emma looks at me in that way kids do when their elders ask ridiculous questions.

“Let’s get on with the interview,” she says.

“On your first day of kindergarten, did you have cupcakes at treat time like we did?”

“You go to a school that still allows cupcakes?” I ask, shocked.

“Grandma, I was in kindergarten ages ago.

They’ve changed it to junky little toys these days because of allergies. NOW will you answer my
