Waubonsee ranked among best community colleges in Illinois KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com Waubonsee Community College was recently ranked among the best community colleges in the state by www.schools.com.

The college was ranked fourth among community colleges in Illinois.

The top three schools ranked were Olney Central College, Lincoln Trail College and Highland Community College. Rounding out the top 10 were Elgin Community College, Lake Land College, Oakton Community College, McHenry County College, Harper College and John Wood Community College.

Township hosts town meeting, chamber after-hours event

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com Looking to spark community interest while also offering the opportunity for residents to become more involved, Sugar Grove Township officials hosted a chamber after-hours event April 12, followed by the annual township meeting.

Representatives from the Sugar Grove Community Building, Mental Health 708 Board, the Sugar Grove Historical Society and elected officials all attended the event. Kevin and Laurie Geary, who are active in the Sugar Grove Chamber of Commerce and Industry, suggested coinciding a Sugar Grove Chamber of Commerce event with the township.

“We seemed to have a good turnout,” said Jerry Murphy, president of the Sugar Grove Community Building.

“I didn’t get a head count, but there was a good amount of people in attendance, and many of the regular citizens stuck around for the meeting, which normally doesn’t happen for that particular meeting.”

The annual town meeting is an occasion where residents can have a direct say in how their government is run.

“I would say it was very successful because we had one of our best turnouts. We had 30 people,” Sugar Grove Township Supervisor Tom Rowe said.

“Just about everyone stuck around for

the annual town meeting, so they got a good understanding of what the township is all about.”

Resident Cathy Hoyda’s primary reason for attending was to hand out info about AID, an agency that helps her son, Matthew.

“We’re advocating for him for services, including transportation through the township, and showing we’re still here and reminding them that there’s a need,” she said. “The meeting was interesting in that it summed up a lot of things. It’s unfortunate that more residents don’t attend to get more info on how things are, especially with the reports to see what’s going on.”

The success of the event could lead to it becoming an annual gathering.

“The chamber’s now talking about making it an annual event,” Rowe said.

‘Room to breathe’ at new Ream’s Meat Market

By SUSAN O’NEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com Saturday afternoon is typically one of the busiest times of the week at Ream’s Meat Market. On a recent Saturday, however, customers were comfortably negotiating the aisles and the lines to buy their items.

“We’ve gotten a lot of feedback from customers that it’s easier to walk around and shop – it’s not so crowded,” co-owner Janelle Ream said.

After decades of operating Ream’s Meat Market from a location in the heart of Main Street in Elburn, Janelle and her husband, Randy, on March 29 moved the store to its new, larger location at 250 S. Main St. in Elburn.

The move has not been without its challenges. First of all was the move itself – they did it all in one day, closing on a Monday and opening the new location that Tuesday. Then it took another whole week to get all of the equipment there, as well as a week and a half to get all three smokers up and running.

Janelle Ream said the market has been busier than usu-

“We’ve seen a lot of first-time customers at the new location. And we’ve definitely felt the support from the community around the move.”

“We’ve seen a lot of firsttime customers at the new location,” she said. “And we’ve definitely felt the support from the community around the move.”

Janelle Ream said the additional business, combined with not being in full production mode at first, caused the market to run out of some things, including beef jerky, for a few days.

at the same time,” she said.

“I’m sure we’ll look back on all of it and laugh.”

She said their sons, Stewart and Joel, have really stepped up to the challenge. Stewart is in charge of the wine and beer, and they have gotten good feedback on his choices, especially the local craft beers. In addition, his culinary skills have proven useful in making more prepared food, such as smoked pulled pork and cooked brisket.

Joel, together with a few

other talented employees, has begun to take on more of the production of the sausages and other food items. He also has taken over the more technical aspects of the business, including the security cameras, fire alarm system, new point-ofsale system and the computerized outdoor sign. Janelle Ream said even the smokehouses are computerized.

“They are becoming leaders in the business,” she said.

She said they are all looking

forward to a great summer and are looking for additional parttime employees to help out. Interested potential employees should visit the “Ream’s Meat Market” Facebook page for more information.

All in all, Janelle Ream said things are going well, and they are thrilled with the new location.

“It’s been great for us,” she said. “We have room to do our work; we have room to breathe.”

8 Puppet program enchants, entertains children at Sugar Grove library

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com Taking young kids to see the latest Pixar, DreamWorks or Disney film typically results in a lot of family fun, but those motion pictures can’t offer the experience and interaction of live theater.

The Melikin Puppet Theatre provides a unique and perhaps rare opportunity for children to witness live theater. And local kids and parents alike had plenty of positive things to say about the Melikin puppets’ visit April 16 to the Sugar Grove Public Library.

“It offered a nice introduction to theater for the kids,” Sugar Grove resident Alana Koster said. “It was probably something that most kids hadn’t seen before, either, so I think that helped get their attention.”

Koster’s daughter, Kinslee, 6, was all smiles after the performance.

“I really liked the ‘Two Bad Mice’ and when they thought that items in the doll house were for mice, but they weren’t,” she said. ”The play made me so happy.”

Averie Foulkes, 6, was also impressed by “Two Blind Mice.”

“It was really funny how the two mice acted it out,” she said. “That was my favorite.”

Foulkes’ sister, Hallie, 5, also en-

“I loved the puppet show,” she said. “‘Goldilocks’ was a lot of fun.”

The Melikin Puppet Theatre performed its “Slightly Fractured Fairy

Tales” program during the library show. The group took some popular fairy tales, such as “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” and “Chicken Little,” and twisted them around a bit, leaving

guests unsure of how the story would ultimately end. And the show offered some surprises.

“What was nice was there was some humor for the adults, as well,” Sugar Grove resident Liz Foulkes said. “It was a nice show for the kids and their parents.”

Sugar Grove resident Stacey Puett, who brought her daughter Ciara, 6, to the show, also left the library impressed.

“It was super-cute,” she said. “It’s nice that the library offers nice family events like this.”

About 70 people attended the performance.

Youth library assistant Amy Beem said she had heard good things about the Melikin Puppets, and they truly delivered.

“We had heard good reviews from other libraries, and they do just a fantastic job,” she said. “It was a great success, just by the numbers alone. It introduced a lot of kids who had never seen a puppet show – other than what they’d seen on TV or video – to a live performance. Plus, there was interaction with the audience and a lot of humor.”

Attendees were able to take pictures and chat with certain characters after the performance.

Kaneland SPEAK, a union formed to help district support staff, holds a rally at Route 47 and Harter Road the afternoon of April 12.

Provided photo

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com The Kaneland SPEAK Organization, or KSO, held a rally April 12 in the hope of raising community awareness – as well as to show support – for the negotiations team that has been working to secure a fair contract for district support staff.

“The rally went very well,” KSO union President Leanndra Bowen said. “We had a lot of support from our SPEAK members, and we were supported by the KEA [Kaneland Education Association] and our other brothers and sisters in the IEA [Illinois Education Association], so we were very pleased.”

The KSO was formed to help its support staff, which includes health aides, secretarial staff, paraprofessionals, nurses, cooks, dishwashers, Response to Intervention, math and reading assistants, teaching assistants, and security and study hall supervisors within Kaneland School District 302.

The mission of the KSO is to provide a safe, caring environment for all students while offering them education, values and life skills to make them successful toward the mission of District 302, which is to graduate all students college-, career- and community-ready.

The KSO is supported by the KEA, but the two are separate associations.

Both are supported by the IEA and National Education Association.

While an agreement was reached between the Kaneland School District 302 Board and the KEA last December, a similar agreement between the same board and the KSO is now in negotiations.

The rally was held at the corner of Route 47 and Harter Road.

“It was really about community awareness,” Bowen said. “We initially organized about a year and a half ago,

I don’t think a lot of community members realize that we have an association, so making them aware of who we are and that we’re part of the KEA, but different, was important to communicate.”

Jennifer Murphy, a one-on-one paraprofessional at Kaneland High School, attended the rally and thought the atmosphere was positive. She said she has faith the negotiating team that’s working on their behalf will achieve positive results.

“The rally did bring a lot of awareness to quite a few people who drove by at that time of the day,” she said.

“Hopefully we made enough people aware and the word will spread, and people will realize everything we do for the students, the school and the district.”

The KSO has met with the school board and administrators and exchanged multiple proposals.

“At this point, we’re still negotiating a first contract, so we’re moving forward on that,” Bowen said. “So that’s our next step – to move forward as a group and get a fair contract.

Since we’re negotiating I can’t discuss this because we have ground rules for things like that. But I can say that we’re progressing.”

This week’s column actually had its beginnings last summer, although I didn’t know it at the time.

I can still picture it – the warm July sun streaming down, the flowers shimmering in the bright light. I could feel the heat beginning to build even though it was barely 8 a.m. As I listened to the bumblebees and honeybees swirling around the St. John’s wort, I realized it was going to be a buggy sort of day. A ground beetle scurried away from the remnants of his multilegged meal. A dragonfly hovered above the rain garden.

I stopped briefly to watch a mass of pavement ants, already in an uproar despite the early hour, when I realized not only was I surrounded by insects but also had been selected by one in particular.

This, however, wasn’t just any old bug – as if there really were such a thing. Nope, this was an insect unlike anything I’d seen before.

Well, mostly unlike ... . It did remind me of something – an insect you’re probably familiar with even if you don’t know what it is: a caddisfly.

Most people refer to these guys as “river bugs,” as they’re often associated with riparian environments.

We have a few species that predominate in the Fox River, and when the adults emerge, en masse, the air is thick with millions of small, moth-ish insects that swirl around very much like brown snowflakes. (The analogy doesn’t end there. In years when emergences are especially large, the best way to clean the bodies up is with – yep, you guessed it – a snow shovel.)

At any rate, the caddisflies with which we’re all most familiar are small, maybe a half inch in length.

But this creature, which had adopted my leg as a landing point, was much larger. Its length, including wings, was more than an inch long. Including the antennae up front, I was looking at more than two inches of insect.

That day, I didn’t have a whole lot of time to devote to field guides, so I settled on a tentative and nonspecific “gigantic caddisfly” and left it at that.

Then, last weekend, I took a dip net out to a nearby wetland and the story came full circle.

I was with my friend Jessi, an aquatic ecologist, and we actually were on a mission to find fairy shrimp. (We didn’t find any this time.

But when we do, expect to hear about it. Fairy shrimp are awesome!)

Wading in the still-chilly water, we immediately found clusters of frog eggs. We saw cool plants such as bladderwort (which is carnivorous and might also merit a column of its own some day soon) and cool arachnids such as a young and freshly molted fishing spider (likewise).

Giannini said he finally agreed to the sale because Shodeen was offering “$300,000 to $400,000 more than anyone else” for the corner lot, which also includes a consignment store, What’s Your Consignment.

The Mill Race Inn closed in 2011. It was purchased by 4 East State Street Holdings on March 1, 2014, for $550,000 from Plaza Bank, according to Kane County property records. The holding company was created through the Shodeen Family Foundation, according to Illinois Secretary of State’s Office records.

The Mill Race Inn has an older build-

ing inside of it, Patzelt said, which historic preservationists want the developer to save. Patzelt said the company would likely relocate that older structure to one of its other properties.

“We’ve got to figure out what to do with the structure that is literally within the Mill Race Inn building,” Patzelt said. “It is a heavy stone structure.”

Patzelt said while the sale to Giannini is under contract, the company is in its “routine due diligence period – everything from the environmental survey to the title search.”

Giannini said he is confident the sale will go through.

“Unless they find a critical mass of plutonium or radium underground

… or a small nuclear warhead, they’ll take it,” Giannini said.

As Geneva city officials consider the creation of a third tax increment finance district – which would include the Mill Race Inn property – Patzelt said the company would be monitoring the discussion.

“We have done work within TIF districts,” Patzelt said. “We believe TIF districts are an important tool in redevelopment.”

A tax increment finance district allows municipalities to divert the increased assessed value of property and sales taxes that result from redevelopment. The diverted tax revenue can be used for specific improvements, such as buying land, razing buildings, relocating a business, rebuilding streets, sidewalks and utilities.

Under state law, TIF districts can last up to 23 years.

A public hearing on creating the third TIF district in Geneva is scheduled for 7 p.m. May 16 at City Hall, 22 S. First St., Geneva.

Geneva School District 304 officials have formally objected to creating another tax increment finance district, saying desirable riverfront area can be developed without diverting property taxes from the school district to fund improvements.

Library’s financial literacy events to discuss dollars and sense

By STEFANIE FRAZIER editorial@kcchronicle.com When it comes to coins and bills, it helps to have knowledge and a plan.

GENEVA – Developer Shodeen Inc. could buy the property on the southwest corner of Routes 38 and 25 late next year, as it is a necessary part of its anticipated redevelopment of the 1.4-acre Mill Race Inn property – which it already owns and is at 4 E. State St. in Geneva, officials said.

The .39 of an acre corner lot, which fronts Route 38/State Street and Route 25/Bennett Street, is contiguous to the Mill Race Inn property. It is owned by Elis Giannini, who said he has had his Geneva Cycle Shop business at 12 E. State St. for 51 years this month.

Shodeen Construction President David Patzelt would not be specific about the company’s plans for the Mill Race Inn property and the corner lot – other than confirming that the deteriorating former restaurant must be torn down.

“We have not gotten a demolition permit yet,” Patzelt said. “Really, we want to wait to have a plan for the entire corner – including Geneva Cycle – before we do any demolition of the site.”

Giannini said he signed a contract with Shodeen late last year, giving the developer from Dec. 24, 2017, to Dec. 24, 2020, to notify him of its intent to purchase the property from him.

The extended contract gives him an opportunity to relocate his stock of 500 to 600 bikes, Giannini said, once the developer gives him a date certain for the closing.

The library will also have books from its collection about conservation and the environment available for check-out, Krapf said.

“And if you do not have a library card, we can take care of that, too,” Krapf said.

Prior to the festivities, families are invited to join a 2.5-mile hike from 9 to 10:30 a.m. for an Earth Day cleanup.

Participants should meet in the park’s courtyard before starting their hike and should wear comfortable shoes and garden gloves for picking up trash.

Students will also get to think about college costs, along with being more mindful of whether to go ahead and make a purchase. And they will receive magnet sheets that have financial keywords such as “spend,” “bank,” “save,” “make” and “give.”

“These skills are very important,” Marx said. “Especially nowadays since people use credit cards or online spending. Keeping track of your finances that are coming in is so important, so we need to start these kids earlier learning about saving and spending and things like that so that when they do grow up, they’ll hopefully remember this stuff and be a little more conscious with their spending and with their money.”

Adults will have opportunities to learn, too. A retirement distribution and estate planning luncheon will take place at 12:30 p.m. April 27 in Meeting Room B. Luncheon speakers will include Steve Wellington, an agent with Modern Woodman, and Nancie Dorjath, attorney for Dorjath Law Center. Attendees can ask questions about topics like creating wills and advanced directives.

Sandwiches and salads will be served during the presentation.

GENEVA – Area families are invited to the ninth annual Earth Day celebration from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 23 at Peck Farm Park, 4038 Kaneville Road, Geneva.

Sponsored by the Geneva Park District and the Geneva Natural Resources Committee, the event will feature rain barrels for purchase, free bicycle safety checks and document shredding, among other activities.

Jay Womack, chairman of the Natural Resources Committee, said some new attractions this year will include live animals for people to interact with.

“We’ll have two alpacas that a woman raises for their wool,” Womack said. “And a farm is bringing baby goats and lambs.”

A variety of vendors will showcase the best green practices, Womack said. These include Habi-Tek, a Geneva company that will showcase solar panel installation; Jolly Old Soles, which repurposes old shoes; electric cars from the Fox Valley Electric Auto Association; and a company that collects and shreds No. 6 Styrofoam containers to repurpose them for shipping containers.

“I went to my basement and pulled out 20 pairs of shoes that I don’t wear anymore to donate,” Womack said.

Other vendors will include the Geneva Green Market, Firehouse Pizza, Fox Valley Wildlife Center, Sure Movements Yoga, the Batavia Environmental Commission, SciTech,

Visit KCChronicle.com for video of the scene where St. Charles resident Glenn Kennedy rescued his neighbor from a car submerged in a pond.

Only the back corner of the car was visible, Kennedy said, and he initially thought it had been dumped.

But it hadn’t.

Tavajian suffered a seizure while driving, and the Honda went into the pond despite Andi’s efforts to alter its course, he said, noting he has no memory of the accident.

Noises of the submerged car shutting down “really scared” the high school freshman, mother Kim Tavajian said.

But Andi’s parents had prepared the teen for such a moment. They had not only talked with her about what to do if her dad had a seizure – he has had them before – but what to do if she was in a submerged car,

neighbor’s gasps proved otherwise.

Although elements initially worked against Kennedy’s attempt to rescue his neighbor, the situation shifted – literally.

The turning of the car caused Chris to float in a position that allowed Kennedy to grab his hand, Kennedy said.

“People asked me if I ever felt how cold the water was,” Kennedy wrote in an email, placing the temperature in the 30s. “[I] never noticed nor thought about it.”

Kennedy could hear emergency officials arriving as he got his neighbor to shore, he said.

Chris said he was discharged from the hospital in a matter of hours.

“Words can’t describe how thankful I am for him,” Chris said of his neighbor. “He didn’t have to do that. He could have let me sink to the bottom.”

Kim said Kennedy didn’t just save her husband. If events had turned out differently, she said, Andi never would have

been the same.

“Absolutely Andi’s a hero, but Glenn actually saved two lives that day,” Kim said. “He saved our family.”

Kennedy described the day as not only the most traumatic of his life but also one of the best days of his life.

Schelstreet on April 4 presented Andi and Kennedy with the city of St. Charles Fire Department Citizen Award.

Schelstreet recognized Andi for an “exceptional sense of awareness” under extreme stress and Kennedy’s “quick and selfless actions.”

Several firefighters who responded to the scene were in attendance at the awards ceremony, and Chris went down the line shaking their hands.

He commended the emergency officials for their response.

“I think I’m a regular guy,” Chris said, “and all these people came together to save me.”

The Tavajians hope their story encourages others to take action in emergency situations rather than being bystanders.

ST. CHARLES – St. Germain Place is generally a quiet residential street with little traffic. But when something suddenly went terribly wrong for one family on a recent Monday morning, the right pieces fell into place, turning “tragedy into triumph,” as St. Charles Fire Chief Joe Schelstreet put it.

The day, March 14, began ordinarily enough.

Chris Tavajian was at the wheel of his Honda Accord, driving his 14-year-old daughter Andi to St. Charles East High School.

Meanwhile, neighbor Glenn Kennedy was leaving his house a few minutes later than usual, which, he said, is out of character for him.

As Kennedy pulled out of his driveway about 7 a.m., another neighbor pulled up alongside his car and alerted him to a vehicle in a nearby pond, which is 15 to 20 feet deep, he said.

Kim said, explaining her mother died from a similar accident.

“Andi kept calm and, while the car was still sinking into the pond, made the 911 call to ensure help was on the way,” Schelstreet said.

The teen unsuccessfully tried to wake Chris’ slouched figure and had to make the “terrible decision” to leave him, Kim said. She said Andi gave him a hug and a kiss before escaping through the only unlocked car door.

OUR VIEW

Community rallies around teen fighting lymphoma No one fights alone.

That’s particularly true of Allie Pyle, a Sugar Grove teen who was diagnosed in November with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. A freshman girls swimmer at Rosary High School in Aurora, Pyle underwent seven chemotherapy sessions at the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago after her diagnosis.

Once again proving that Kane County is filled with great, caring people, the community rallied, offering Pyle and her family moral support.

But the support didn’t end there.

Knowing Pyle’s family faced significant health care costs, Sarah Fergus, a Rosary senior who also is on the swim team, organized a fundraiser that collected more than $4,000. Among the items in the fundraiser were “Team Allie” T-shirts and bracelets designed by Sign FX, a Sugar Grove company, that sold in tandem for $20. The back of the T-shirts read, “No one fights alone.”

“I never really expected anyone to do anything like that for me, so yeah, it did surprise me,” Pyle told Sports Editor Kevin Druley for a story published at KCChronicle.com on April 18. “I was really happy to see the support and stuff. And it meant a lot.”

Pyle, thankfully, is now in remission.

And Fergus, a good deed now done, is weighing collegiate swimming options.

“It makes me feel proud that I did something that, it may not be making a huge difference, but I’m making at least a little bit of a difference and making a small step toward finding a cure for cancer,” Fergus said. “It really warms my heart to hear people tell me, ‘Good job,’ and, ‘Way to go,’ and that kind of stuff.”

We echo what others have already told Fergus. Way to go.

We also applaud the entire Rosary/ Sugar Grove community for stepping up to help Allie Pyle.

These are the kinds of stories that make us proud to live here.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Snowy ups and downs beats one-size-fits-all weather For the first time in a decade or so, the schools where my wife and I teach had overlapping spring breaks.

We could have resorted to our usual stay-cation, luxuriating in cleaning the garage, replacing last year’s ant traps and spreading the annual driveway mulch dump, but instead we left all that wild fun behind.

And flew to Florida.

Unfortunately, three days before leaving, I caught the dreaded fever, cough, runny nose and sinus pressure thing. A doctor diagnosed it as a virus.

A nurse said the flu. My misery by any other name would have left me feeling like I’d lost out to a Death Eater.

So we called our friends who’d invited us to Florida; did they want us to cancel the trip?

“Are you kidding?” Charlie said.

“I’m just getting over it. Come on down. Weather’ll fix you right up!”

My longtime friend exaggerated.

He’d gotten the bug only a day before I had. With our constant hacking, coughing and spitting, his wife referred to Charlie and me as “the consumptives.”

I slept well; however, with the continual wash of waves 50 yards from our bedroom, plus a scarlet capful of Robitussin DM, nothing would have kept me awake short of a Harrier jet

RIVER TOWN CHRONICLES Rick Holinger landing on my eyelids.

South of Tampa, crossing onto Longboat Key rescues the weary driver from franchise sprawl. Instead, the island’s road tunnels through rent-a-condo row and restaurants where youthful hostesses repeat their 45-minutes-to-buy-pricey-drinkswhile-you-wait-for-a-table mantra.

All in all, I loved Longboat. Not needing a cane, wheelchair or elevator to walk or climb stairs convinced my 67 years they’d shrunk to 16. Moreover, after three days of watching retirees shuffle from car to condo door or outdoor table, I understood they gravitated to Florida not only because the weather impersonates a hot-shower bathroom sans exhaust fan, but because of its topography. I thought Illinois was flat! The only hills we encountered connected two landmasses – and were technically termed bridges.

Leaving the Gulf, we drove inland to Orlando where, visiting Harry Potter world in Universal Studios, we found the rest of the country

vacationing as well.

“Most people we’ve had all year,” a costumed actor told us while we stood in our sixth line – at the same restaurant. If the pack of people waiting outside the wand store hadn’t stretched back to Hedwig’s nest, I might have Avada Kedavra-ed a large number of butter beer-guzzling Midwesterners into slithery Slytherin snakes.

Once uncoiled from a line with more twists than a Raymond Chandler noir, I marveled at the red, lifesized Hogwarts Express locomotive pulling its black coal car and olive green coaches. If you make it on board, say hi to Hagrid for me.

Although gone only a week, I was eager to get back to Illinois’s sweater weather and comparatively rolling landscapes. I missed a climate that wasn’t one-size-fits-all. Like sun-sandwiched snowstorms in April. Or navigating sloping terrains, if only our valley’s walls or Johnson’s Mound.

I’ll take snowy ups and downs over steam baths any day.

I have always thought April is such a boring month. It is the month of odd weather patterns and nonexistent events.

However, it is the month I was born in, and – by the way – I am accepting gifts. I like trail mix, headbands and cute stuffed animals. Really, April is a dull period of the year.

Spring is here, yet everyone is just waiting for the warm months to come, waiting for school to end and waiting to go on a summer vacation.

I am just waiting for the day when my friends can return home from college and I can finally wear my denim capris that I bought a month ago. I just want to paint my toenails a bright red and show them off as I wear sandals. I am going to a concert the first week of May. I am guilty of waiting.

April is the month of waiting for something more thrilling to pop up in our lives.

BEFORE THE DIPLOMA Denise Cartina Some people like the month of April. Sure, the idea of beautiful butterflies and flowers popping up all around sounds delightful, but look around. I have not seen one monarch butterfly in my backyard nor have I strolled by any happy, dancing tulips.

This type of cold weather one day and warm weather another day is irritating. It is so difficult to pick out an outfit that is actually appropriate for the day because I never know if I should really trust the weathermen and weatherwomen out there.

On the bright side of things, my first year of college is coming to an end. In the past week I have written three

essays, so pardon me if my writing is not up to par or a bit bland. I feel as if my eyes have been glued to my laptop screen for a consecutive week. I have used the words “furthermore,” “moreover,” “also” and “additionally” so much in my papers recently that is kills me to repeat them now. Sadly, I still have about five papers to write in less than a month (most of them are around five to 10 pages; I should really start those essays). Also, I am trying my best to maintain a steady grade in my math class, fingers crossed. While I say all of this, I keep losing track of time. What day is it again?

To completely change gears now, I must mention that the Blackhawks have made it to the playoffs. My new jersey can be put to use! By the time this goes up, all the Hawks fans will either be in

a state of bliss, pure insanity or they may just be crying.

Stay tuned. Baseball has also started, so go Cubs go?

Ultimately, my mind is racing in several different directions, much like this column. On that note, I hope you all enjoy the rest of your April. Prove to me that these 30 days can actually be exciting. In the meantime, I will be dreaming of stepping outside with just a short sleeve shirt, shorts and no jacket.

To the editor: Republicans who support Donald Trump even though he won’t disavow the KKK, wants to build a wall along the border and deport millions of Mexicans, won’t accept Muslims, scammed students attending Trump University, re-tweets quotes from fascists, refuses to release his taxes, went bankrupt four times even though he inherited millions of dollars from his father Fred, encourages violence at his rallies and calls everyone who opposes him a loser simply refuse to admit he is a con artist and a fraud.

Trump has no idea how the military functions, no comprehension of foreign policy or any realistic domestic agenda. He would be totally unprepared, unpredictable and a disaster as president.

The day after he suggested we reduce our role in NATO, Brussels was bombed.

The real question isn’t “Make America Great Again”.

It’s always been great. Let’s not let an unstable person like Trump jeopardize our future with our allies and tempt our enemies to challenge us. Let’s elect a president capable of dealing with issues at home to make the country better for the average American.

Derek Eastman State Farm Insurance has experienced some growing pains.

That’s a good thing for the Sugar Grove resident’s agency. And he’s relocated in order to accommodate said growth.

Eastman’s agency is now at 217 Capitol Drive, Suite C, Sugar Grove, behind the Jewel-Osco and Ace Hardware and next to the Sugar Grove Health Center.

His office was previously at 36 Terry St. “It would’ve been eight years [on Terry] on April 1,” Eastman said. “We were open to doing something different because we’d kind of outgrown that space. We needed a place that was better for client conversations and stuff like that – a more private office with more conference space – and this is more suitable for that.”

Privacy can be a key consideration, especially while often discussing personal matters.

“You never know who is sitting almost next to you, so to have more privacy is a nice thing,” Eastman said.

“You could be talking debt, income and different things like that, so it will be

“... We’d kind of outgrown that space. We needed a place that was better for client conversations and stuff like that – a more private office with more conference space – and this is more suitable for that.”

nice to have more space and more privacy.”

Eastman’s new office won’t have the same visibility as the previous one, but it will feature easier access and is about twice the size as the previous one. A ribbon cutting to celebrate the new location was hosted April 20.

“From what I’ve heard from people so far, everyone says it’s nice,” Eastman said. “I have yet to have a lot of client appointments. I’m still sort of in boxes and getting unpacked, but I hope to make a lot of headway next week.”

Royal Builders to kick off food drive

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Royal Builders and Royal Real Estate in St. Charles will be adding a storage unit – called a shell – to its parking lot April 21 as it kicks off a food drive for the Northern Illinois Food Bank in Geneva, office manager Sue Webb said.

“We are challenging the community to help us fill it with food,” Webb said.

“We’ve done food drives in the past, but the most successful one was asking people to fill our truck. When the food drive is in our building or lobby, people are not seeing it.”

While the storage unit is being delivered April 21, the actual kickoff for filling it is from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 23 at the business, 1003 W. Main St., St. Charles.

The public can continue to donate until May 20 to meet the companies’ Fill-A-Shell Challenge with the food bank’s most-needed items, Webb said.

These include whole-grain cere-

Being a Scout means trying new things while at the same time providing service to others. Such opportunities – offered by becoming a Cub Scout – were demonstrated April 11 during the Elburn Cub Scout Pack 107 Roundup in Elburn.

Pack 107 co-committee chair Laura Marler said the event was the Scout informational registration for the spring.

A similar event takes place in the fall, too.

“We probably had about 20 boys from Blackberry Creek Elementary School and John Stewart Elementary School who came in and signed up,” Marler said. “We provided a lot of information about being a Scout, and there were some fun activities that served as a bit of an introduction, such as balloon rockets and paper airplanes.”

The Scouts offer the roundup event because it gives kids and their parents an opportunity to meet directly with the group itself.

“A lot of them haven’t ever been to Photos by Laura Gampfer - For Shaw Media something like this before,” Marler said. “Instead of a typical online reg- Incoming Scouts wait for ice cream and drinks after playing during the Elburn Cub Scout Pack 107 Roundup on April 11 in Elburn. istration, this allows more of a face-toface experience. They get to see what Cub Scouts are about, and it provides a nice introduction for them.”

While dens won’t meet in the summer, Marler said there are plenty of summer activities that kids won’t want to miss.

“We still have Memorial Day and Elburn Days and summer camps and stuff like that,” she said. “You get in now and you get a little taste of Scouts before it really starts going in the fall.”

Those still interested in learning more about – or registering for – Cub Scouts can attend the Pack 107 meeting at 7 p.m. April 21 at the old Kaneland Middle School building, 1N700 Meredith Road, Maple Park. Those who cannot attend the meeting can email elburncubscouts@gmail.com for additional information.

Casey’s Safe Haven to host horse rescue fundraiser

By SUSAN O’NEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com Casey’s Safe Haven Holistic Horse Rescue plans to participate in the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal’s “Help A Horse Day” contest in a special way.

The rescue will host a handful of events the weekend of April 22 to 24, wrapping up with a Pancakes for Ponies fundraiser from 7:30 a.m. to noon April 24 at the American Legion Hall in Maple Park, located at 203 Main St. Casey’s hopes to win some much-needed grant money through the ASPCA contest to assist in the care of its nine horses, five ponies and one donkey at the horse rescue and sanctuary on Brundige Road in Elburn.

“This is the third year the ASPCA has done this, and it has grown to include 191 rescues nationwide this year,” volunteer and board member Linda Zabilka said. “This is also the ASPCA 150th anniversary, so we are very excited to be a part of it.”

In addition to the rescue’s “spokesponies,” Cece and Fiona, people who come out to the fundraiser will have an opportunity to meet several special friends of the rescue.

Zabilka said Casey’s is also thrilled that McHenry County author, clinician and horse trainer Mitch Bornstein will visit the event with copies of his book, “Last Chance Mustang: The Story of One Horse, One Horseman and One Fi-

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.

nal Shot at Redemption.”

“Mr. Bornstein will sign copies of his book, and for those who have already purchased the book, he will personalize it for you,” Zabilka said.

Bornstein’s story is of Samson, a wild mustang that was captured in the mountains of Nevada through the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s program to manage the wild horse population. After a series of owners and years of abuse and neglect, Samson ended up on a farm in rural northern Illinois, where Bornstein met him and faced his greatest challenge as a horse trainer.

Raffle tickets with a prize of a fourday, three-night stay at a condo in Door County, Wis., will be available during the breakfast, and the winner will be announced at the event’s closing. Casey’s Safe Haven T-shirts and “Petunia Donkey” ornaments will be available for sale.

Zabilka said that visitors will also have an opportunity to learn about the S.A.F.E. – or Safeguard American Food Export – Act of 2015, which would prohibit the exportation of more than 150,000 horses to Mexico and Canada for slaughter and human consumption.

Casey’s is a holistic healing haven and sanctuary for horses and ponies,

many of which come from pony ride groups when they are no longer of use to their owners. Several of them are rescued from what are known as “kill pens,” which the SAFE Act looks to put out of business.

Sometimes the owners themselves relinquish their horses to Sue Balla, president and founder of Casey’s – some of the animals blind, some with foot or teeth problems or other health issues, Zabilka explained.

“We take them when others might not,” she said. “We try to do things naturally to heal the horses, including the use of essential oils, laser treatments and the use of horse chiropractors.”

Casey’s volunteers include two former teachers, Girl Scout troops, 4-H clubs, students from the Northern Illinois Academy and senior citizens, Zabilka said.

One of the most impressive volunteers is a 78-year-old woman who lives at GreenFields of Geneva.

“She does everything, including cleaning stalls and talking to people at various churches about what we do,” Zabilka said.

Information about volunteering will also be available during the breakfast, as well as a wish list of needed items and a calendar.

“I never really expected anyone to do anything like that for me, so yeah, it did surprise me. I was really happy to see the support and stuff. And it meant a lot.”

Allie Pyle, Rosary High School freshman battling non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com Allie Pyle and Sarah Fergus shared laps and laughs from a friendly distance growing up.

Although three years separated them, belonging to swimming families from Sugar Grove fostered a subtle bond.

It reached a crescendo this winter.

Now in remission from her November diagnosis of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Pyle, a Rosary freshman, still beams at the selflessness of Fergus, a senior teammate on the girls swimming and diving team who organized a fund-

raiser that ultimately provided $4,100.

“I never really expected anyone to do anything like that for me, so yeah, it did surprise me,” Pyle said. “I was really happy to see the support and stuff.

And it meant a lot.”

Last month, Pyle and Fergus presented their “Team Allie” fundraiser check to the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, where Pyle was treated.

Pyle underwent seven chemotherapy sessions and since has transitioned to thoughts of getting rested and pre-

pared for her sophomore season, which begins in August.

“I just started feeling like myself again,” Pyle said. “My energy levels were back up and I didn’t feel tired and I didn’t really feel sick anymore.”

Behind Fergus’ direction, the Rosary student body worked to assure Pyle never experienced anything outside of constant warmth during her recovery.

Asked to pinpoint her favorite thing about swimming – whether for Rosary or her club team, the Aurora-based Academy Bullets – Pyle didn’t hesitate

to answer that “it feels more like a family.” To be sure, that atmosphere extended to the school hallways.

The most tangible items in the effort were the “Team Allie” T-shirts and bracelets designed by Sign FX, a Sugar Grove company. Colored lime green, the established color of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma awareness, the items sold in tandem for $20.

The back of the T-shirts read, “No one fights alone.”

“We’ve always been good family friends and we’ve carpooled to swimming and everything for such a long time,” Fergus said. “I knew how hard it was going to be on her family. She’s one of four kids and I’m one of five kids.”

Speaking for her husband, Mike, and their children, Jenny Pyle called the gesture “overwhelming.”

JACK WASSEL Geneva High School Senior | Baseball Photo provided

Why Wassel was selected:

Geneva senior third baseman Jack Wassel, a Minnesota commit, wants to make sure his final high school season is a good one. It’s off to a good start for a Vikings team that had won five of six Upstate Eight Conference River Division games entering the week of April 18. Wassel, the St. Charles Bank & Trust/Kane County Preps Athlete of the Week, caught up with Kane County Chronicle sports reporter Chris Casey to discuss the season so far. An edited transcript follows: Talk about the strong senior leadership on this team.

It’s a great thing for us to have. We had three junior starters in the infield

last year and we got a lot of important experience that has carried over into our senior season.

Can this team get over the hump and win a regional this year?

We definitely think we can. We have it all on this team, we feel like, and it’s just about keeping it going.

How do you stack Geneva up with Batavia and St. Charles North this year?

They are very good teams, but I think we can beat anyone. If we play our game and worry about things we can control, it’ll go a long way to being where we want to at the end of the season.

Continued from page 2 Fergus, meanwhile, is amazed by Pyle’s poise, especially on a campus of 722 girls who seemingly maintain an ongoing interest in her well-being.

“It could be kind of awkward for people to say, ‘How are you doing?’ all the time, but every time I see her in the hallway, she has a simile on her face,” Fergus said. “She’s always laughing with her friends or talking.

She’s handled it really well.”

On Nov. 13, one day before eventual state champion Rosary competed in sectionals, Pyle officially learned of her diagnosis.

A few weeks earlier, while experiencing regular fatigue, she noticed a “really big” lump under her arm.

She had a biopsy during the second week of November, and the results ultimately prompted Jenny Pyle to rush to Rosary to transport her daughter to the hospital.

“I got in the car and there were overnight bags and she said, ‘I don’t know when we’re going to come home,’” Allie Pyle said before briefly

pausing. “I hope I never have to do anything like that again.”

At home, the Pyles seldom talk about Allie’s condition now.

“It’s just kind of like keep moving forward,” Allie Pyle said.

There’s plenty else for the family to juggle. Tori Pyle is nearing her Rosary graduation, while younger brothers Zeke and Joe, students at Kaneland Harter Middle School, balance club gymnastics and swimming, respectively.

Fergus, who is weighing collegiate swimming options – two older brothers are NCAA swimmers – knows what that’s about.

She’s also sure organizing a fundraiser for a friend in need came as second nature. She wasn’t seeking commendation, but it steels her just the same.

“It makes me feel proud that I did something that, it may not be making a huge difference, but I’m making at least a little bit of a difference and making a small step toward finding a cure for cancer,” Fergus said. “It really warms my heart to hear people tell me, ‘Good job,’ and, Way to go,’ and that kind of stuff.”

Wassel did it all against St. Charles East during the week of April 11.

He was a tough out at the plate, connecting on five hits in a threegame, Upstate Eight Conference River Division series while driving in three runs. His defense at third base was slick as well as the Vikings took two of three games from the Saints.

As season begins, a fair warning: Rules are rules Now that’s more like it.

Sun, 70-degree weather and some good baseball. It’s almost as if we were forced to endure the previous two weeks to get a week that offered a few days that were about as perfect as Alexander Cartwright Jr. dreamed about when he fathered the game. And you thought Abner Doubleday created this great game, didn’t you?

I had a good run during the week of April 11 and some great games, including four that were decided by a single run, with a pair of walkoffs as well.

Indeed, my faith was restored; short sleeves were donned and I was reprimanded by my wife for once again forgetting to wear sunscreen. The argument didn’t result in a “written warning” because we haven’t adopted that silly rule in our marriage unlike the National Federation of State High School Associations.

Beginning this year, umpires are now required to issue a written warning to a coach for any minor violation of Rule 3-3-1f, 1-5 (g-k). So now I’m forced to haul my Adler Contessa compact portable typewriter from the ’70s along with me just in case a coach converts into a clown.

Thankfully, I haven’t had to issue a written warning yet, but I’m sure that

QUILL THE UMPIRE CHRIS ROLLIN WALKER

I believe this rule will allow some coaches to slowly eat away at umpires and naturally a younger, more inexperienced umpire is more liable to succumb to such antics. time will come, and since I have my retro typewriter I’ll be sure to write stuff like, “Coach, what you did was not groovy and you’re now causing things to get heavy, so mellow out in the dugout, can you dig? Peace out.”

Just imagine an overweight umpire like me typing on top of a doghouse like Snoopy.

The NFHS’s rationale for this rule change is “to assist the game official in preventative officiating and to respond with the appropriate penalty when dealing with the behavior of the coach.”

I was told that some baseball coaches had complained that they never get warnings. They even compared baseball with soccer in that coaches can get warned via a yellow card before getting ejected with a red one. Apparently, they forgot this isn’t soccer.

Look at baseball at any of the other levels. There are no written warnings.

I can understand if some umpires have been quick with the trigger, and obviously I have no idea if such has been the case, but I know that I don’t, and in all my years of doing this, I’ve never met a partner who showed off a trigger finger like The Waco Kid. I believe this rule will allow some coaches to slowly eat away at umpires and naturally a younger, more inexperienced umpire is more liable to succumb to such antics. Hopefully, most coaches won’t go down that path, but inevitably some will, and it’s comparable to the stupid balk warning rule that many competitive travel leagues still utilize.

The balk warning rule allows pitchers to receive a warning on their first offense with no penalty. The rule is supposedly there to try to teach kids, but why stop with the balk warning?

Why not a strike three warning so the kid can get a fourth strike? Seriously?

Get rid of the rule and teach the kids during practice.

Why does this have me so worked up? Well, what’s happened with the balk warning is that some coaches use it to their advantage to try to steal an out. Their pitchers know what a balk is and likely won’t do it. They also know they can get away with a warning so they’ll do something illegal in the hopes that it slips by the umpire.

If it does, they may get a key out in a crucial time in the game. If they get caught, no harm is done. They are given a warning and it’s as if nothing has happened.

Now I’m all worked up, but I’ll keep my cool, which I also hope that coaches do for the remainder of the season.

Thankfully, for the most part, my experiences at the high school level have been positive ones. Rarely does a game go by where you don’t hear some chirping from both benches, but that’s

something I accepted – well before any current high school student was even born – as part of a game where you have countless pitches and any one that’s borderline is going to upset one dugout. It happens. What you don’t want to occur is for it to go beyond that, but it undoubtedly does sometimes, and now coaches have to be sent to timeout with a written warning that they certainly can’t proudly put on their fridge.

Thankfully, the NFHS at least got something right. Major unsportsmanlike acts won’t require a warning to be given. It would’ve been ridiculous to have to give a polite written warning to someone who made contact with you, kicked dirt on you, threatened you with physical harm or used vulgar or profane language. Then again, if the coaches keep whining, maybe they’ll enforce another rule where we have to put them on double secret probation or some other nonsense.

A spokesman for the NFHS said, “A successful game official practices preventive officiating, and this new penalty progression will allow the official to issue penalties that give the coach the opportunity to remain in the game and teach his players.”

Apparently, he didn’t realize we already were doing that.

Update: Late on the afternoon of April 17, I umpired my first two youth travel games of the season and ejected a pair of coaches. One was just begging for it despite me warning him repeatedly to stop arguing balls and strikes. The other one didn’t like my double play call, so he decided to shout the infamous expletive from “A Christmas Story” followed by a popular second-person pronoun.

Folks, these were games being played by 13- and 14-year-olds who were tarnished by two adults who aren’t nearly as mature as the kids they coach.

Kaneland alum making strides at Monmouth

Monmouth sophomore pole vaulter Dan Evers, a 2014 Kaneland graduate, is a qualifier for the recent NCAA Division III indoor nationals.

ON CAMPUS James Nokes

“Dan [Evers] has a lot of fun out there. He brings a lot of energy to the team. He works super hard in the weight room and is a real overachiever.”

Steven Andris Monmouth assistant coach sity Invitational on April 3 brought a challenge every vaulter wanted to wait to pass.

Except for Evers. He’d waited long enough. It was time to walk off his 100-foot approach, which is eight paces from the back, and make his vault.

With a 30 mph cross-tailwind, Evers set a new outdoor best by a foot with a 15-9 vault and a third-place finish.

“I was getting blown around all over, but I guess I was used to it,” Evers said. “I wanted to wait for the wind to die down, too. But it wasn’t going to do that. I just went up and got after it. I fought through it, hung on at the top and got over the bar.”

With Ward’s first-place finish and Evers’ third leading the way, the Scots, who are ranked No. 4 in the latest United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Division III poll, finished third in the 30-team field in St. Louis.

It was a risky vault that pushed the edge, but it pales in comparison to the friendly wager Andris has with Evers.

If Evers posts a vault of 16-4.75 inches, Andris will vault with him at the May 7 Fighting Scot Invitational which Monmouth hosts.

Failure to post a vault of that height and Andris has a pair of super-short shorts Evers will have to wear for the home meet.

“You’ve got to be a little bit crazy to try the pole vault anyway,” Andris quipped.

After a vault in howling wind, competition in extra-short shorts doesn’t sound so risky.

Dan Evers took a cross-state ride for a last chance at glory.

The Monmouth sophomore pole vaulter didn’t qualify for the NCAA Division III indoor championships March 4 when he failed to clear the required height at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wis. So, with Monmouth assistant coach Steven Andris and teammate Joe Ward – who had already qualified for nationals – Evers packed up his gear and made a three-hour trip to Wisconsin-Stevens Point for the aptly named “Last Chance” qualifier.

There was no time for rest or a new game plan. On what he said was “pure adrenaline,” Evers, a Kaneland graduate, earned a trip to indoor nationals with a jump of 15 feet, 10 inches and tied for first place.

A last-day qualifier, Evers went on to become an all-American one week later when he finished sixth at nationals with a vault of 16-2.

“Just qualifying was an amazing ending to my season,” said the sophomore from Sugar Grove, who finished ninth at the 2014 IHSA Class 2A state meet as a senior at Kaneland.

“I really just went to have fun. There are so many guys there that are super nervous and all wrapped up in their vaults. I didn’t even know what place I was in. When I heard Joe and I were sixth and seventh, I was ecstatic.”

Andris is a 2015 Monmouth alumnus, Evers’ former teammate and a current assistant coach with the track and field team who works with the vaulters, jumpers and javelin throwers. He said Evers’ work ethic combined with a growth spurt between his freshman and sophomore seasons was a catalyst in his indoor season success.

Because he’d grown a few inches and gained 15 pounds in the offseason, Evers has been able to change his equipment. His additional size and strength has allowed Evers to transition to a longer pole and yielded a string of new personal bests.

“Dan has a lot of fun out there,” Andris said. “He brings a lot of energy to the team. He works super hard in the weight room and is a real overachiever. I told him to try a new pole and see what happens. Dan has a lot of trust in me; if I tell him to move up a pole he knows I’ve got a good reason why.”

Knights get back on track, enjoy challenge

By SKIP STOLLEY editorial@kcchronicle.com The Kaneland boys track team, a Class 2A power, took on a dozen of the best 3A teams in the state at the Minooka Invitational on April 16.

The Knights battled their way to a more than respectable fifth-place finish in a meet in which eight of their 18 events produced the best marks in the state this season.

“I enjoy testing ourselves against 3A teams and believe it is critical to developing our team,” Knights coach Eric Baron said. “This sport is about head-to-head competition, not about always competing against schools with the same student body enrollment figures.”

After recent frustrations with weekend outdoor meet cancellations, the Knights reveled in the chance to compete in events such as the 100-meter

Danielle Guerra - dguerra@shawmedia.com

John Delach anchors Kaneland’s 4x100-meter relay to victory during a home triangular April 12. He helped the Knights to a fifth-place finish at the Minooka Invitational on April 16. dash, 4x100 relay, 110 and 300 hurdles, and discus.

On the track, Kaneland’s best showing was a second-place finish in the 4x800 relay with a time of 8:12.97.

Sophomore Matt Richtman and seniors Sean Spaetzel, Will Kuipers and Austin Kintz took part

in the relay.

In the other relays, the Knights were third in the 4x200 in 1:31.98 with a foursome of Brandon Cruz, John Delach, Tyler Paulson and Matt Noel; third in the 4x400 in 3:29.86 with a team of Cruz, Spaetzel, Noel and Tanner Robertsen; and

sixth in the 4x100 in 44.22 with a foursome of Paulson, Cruz, Robertsen and Delach.

In other track events, Robertsen, a senior, was fourth in the 300 hurdles (42.08) and sixth in the 110 hurdles (16.04).

Cruz was sixth in the 100 dash in 11.34.

“Tanner was leading the 300-meter hurdles and on the way to a sub-40-second race until he caught the last hurdle with his trail leg and almost fell,” Baron said, “but he ran four great races for us on the day. Brandon also ran a great 100 meters and three great relay legs. This was also a breakthrough meet for Sean Spaetzel, who ran the fastest legs of both our 4x800 and 4x400 relays with 2:03.2 and 51.6 splits – both lifetime bests.”

In the field, the highlight of the meet was third-, fifth- and seventh-place finishes in the discus by sophomore Clayton Hannula and seniors Tristan

Kinder and Jake Gomes with state-qualifying marks of 152 feet, 151-1 and 146-2, respectively.

Hannula also placed sixth in the shot put with a 48-6 while Kinder had a personal record of 43-9. Senior Connor Peterson was fourth in the high jump at 5-11, John Delach was fifth in the long jump at 19-9, senior Mike Rinella was eighth in the pole vault at 13-1, and senior Mitch Groen was eighth in the triple jump at 40-6.25.

“Right now, we are still a bit behind schools that have indoor track facilities,” Baron said. “With the awful April weather we’ve had leading up to last weekend, we’ve been limited to what kind of training we’ve been able to do. If the weather holds, we’ll catch up soon. But, ironically, the 80-degree temperatures we had [April 16] actually hurt us in some events because we were so unaccustomed to it.”

Cameron Kovanda South Elgin Boys Baseball

Richtman added soccer to her spring sports repertoire as a junior and has helped spur the Knights to early-season success, including playing a key role in an April 5 victory at DeKalb. On the track, she provides a stabilizing force to the Knights’ 4x400 and 4x800 relays, both of which won Class 2A indoor titles at the recent Illinois Prep Top Times Meet in Bloomington.

One of the young leaders of the Storm’s baseball team, Cameron is a very good defender and can play multiple spots in the infield. His best game came when he pulled a ground ball to the left side of the infield that scored the winning run in South Elgin’s 4-3 comeback win over Hampshire.

Primo experience Chef Alain Roby opens new fine-dining restaurant

By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Chef Alain Roby likes sweets. He also likes fine dining. Who says he couldn’t combine the two?

Roby has done just that with his recent expansion of Geneva’s All Chocolate Kitchen, adding his fine-dining restaurant, Primo.

A 21-year-old and over restaurant, Primo, which literally means “first dish” in Italian, offers customers a unique experience unlike any other, according to the world-renowned chef.

After discovering recipes from his mother and grandmother, Roby opened Primo with a set focus to bring some of those items to the menu.

Menu items will include a selection of domestic, French and Italian artisanal cheeses, charcuterie, crab avocado sliders, short ribs in a red wine sauce, Grandmother Louise’s eggplant confit and more. Primo will also feature a selection of local, French, German and Italian wines.

The uniqueness goes beyond the food with the atmosphere that Roby has created. The restaurant seats anywhere from 25 to 30 people and has select hours Wednesday through Saturday nights. Reservations are not required, but Roby did say there have been requests for tables into May at this point. Decor includes a 22-foot chocolate tower that customers can enjoy visually while dining.

Roby caught up with Kane County Chronicle reporter Chris Casey to talk about Primo and the response from customers.

Chris Casey: Where did this idea to open Primo come from?

Chef Alain Roby: The space was avail-

There’s a list of entrees and wines and desserts and whatnot, but it’s very down-to-Earth and right to the point.

St. Charles North High School students Emily Bettler (left), as Annie, and Emi Kaliski (right), as Grace Farrell, rehearse a scene from the musical “Annie” at the school.

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – It’s almost showtime in St. Charles.

Not just one but both of the city’s high schools are presenting their spring musicals the weekend of April 23.

St. Charles East is featuring “The Pirates of Penzance” from April 22 to 24 while St. Charles North is performing “Annie” from April 21 to 24.

Students from both schools have spent weeks preparing for an audience, and the prep work hasn’t just been on the stage.

Brooke Lynch and Maddi LeBlanc, both 16-year-old sophomores at East, were among cast members who spent a recent rehearsal in a dressing room trying on mustaches.

Made of wool, the fake facial hair is part of their role as police officers, they said, complaining that the adhesive they must apply above their lip smells like fish.

Both girls spoke enthusiastically about “Penzance,” describing the show as lighthearted and silly with phenomenal music.

Elsewhere in the theater, 17-yearold senior and tech crew member Zoe Kowalczyk was focused on the “Penzance” sets, which she said she helped build and design. The goal, she said, is to make them “as big and elaborate as we can.”

At North, a staircase set piece attracted students’ attention as they walked into the auditorium for a rehearsal that focused on choreography.

As three cast members – seniors

and $3 for senior citizens Emily Bettler (Annie), Macintosh Rivara (Warbucks) and Emi Kaliski (Grace Farrell) – waited for the session to begin, they described the time commitment involved.

“For us, it’s every day, including some weekends,” Rivara said.

For senior Bailey Ricketts, 18, her presence wasn’t required because she’s not a cast member or part of tech crew. She attended rehearsals because her dog, Casey, portrays the dog Sandy in “Annie.”

The canine got the role because she matches Sandy’s description, Ricketts said, “and she’s trained.”

By ERIC SCHELKOPF editorial@kcchronicle.com The last time Johnny Depp was in Aurora, filming was going on for his movie “Public Enemies.”

Depp will return to Aurora on July 7 when he performs at RiverEdge Park with Alice Cooper and Joe Perry as part of the supergroup Hollywood Vampires.

“What more is there to say, it’s Alice Cooper, Joe Perry and Johnny Depp all together and all together on the RiverEdge Park stage; it’s mind blowing,” said Jim Jarvis, vice president of marketing for RiverEdge Park, in a statement. “They burnt the house down at the Grammys, and they’re going to rock the rafters at our place.

If you’ve never heard them together, go online and check out their concert at Rock in Rio in front of 100,000 fans.

They’re just pure rock ‘n’ roll. Then go get your tickets to this show because they are going to sell out RiverEdge Park, and you’re going to want to be there to experience this entire night.”

RiverEdge Park is located at 360 N. Broadway St. in downtown Aurora.

Gates for the show will open at 6:30 p.m.; showtime is 8 p.m.

Online ticket sales started April 8 at riveredgeaurora.com. Tickets cost $55 through May 31 and $65 starting June 1. Phone and in-person sales start April 29.

People relax in the bar area of the Round Up Sports Bar & Grill in Sugar Grove. heaven deliver it to the kitchen just prior to it arriving at your table!”

Pantea himself raves about Roundup’s chicken wings.

“Our wings are one of the most popular items on our menu,” he said.

“These jumbo, high-quality chicken wings are simply the best wings around.”

Customers can see for themselves with Roundup’s $.65 wing special on

Thursday nights.

And Roundup’s menu hasn’t changed much since the restaurant opened in Sugar Grove, either.

“Eighty to 90 percent of the original menu is still served today,” Pantea said. “We like to think we offer a high-quality pub menu with options such as Angus steak burgers, fish and chips and barbecue ribs.”

Roundup is also a great place to

Mulching with organic material LEARNING TO GROW Susan Styer not fit the style of your garden.

To apply mulch, spread it evenly over the soil, 2 to 3 inches deep, but leave a ring of a few inches around the base of each plant. This will help prevent disease by keeping the plant stems dry. Cocoa bean shells should be only about 1 inch deep to prevent them from becoming moldy. If your grass clippings are fresh, apply them in thin, 1/4-inch layers and let each layer dry before adding more. Wood chips break down more slowly than other organic mulches, but you will still need to add some chips every year to maintain coverage.

Organic mulches will improve your soil, help your plants perform at their peak and add beauty to your garden.

You’ve planted your flowering annuals; the perennials are up and thriving; and the vegetable garden is beginning to take off. To help ensure your hard work pays off throughout the season, consider applying mulch.

Mulching is simply covering the soil around your plants with a layer of material. Using mulch has many benefits, including reducing weeds, keeping more water in the soil, moderating the soil temperature and giving a finished look to your garden. Overall, mulching can reduce stress on your plants, helping to improve their growth.

Organic mulches are made from living materials that will break down and add organic matter to soil, improving the quality of your soil. Your choice of materials depends on your budget and landscape preferences. You can use shredded leaves, dried grass clippings (without weed treatment/no herbicides), straw, sawdust or ground corncobs.

These materials break down during the growing season, so they are good for a vegetable garden. If you use sawdust or ground corncob mulch, you may need to add some additional nitrogen fertilizer to the soil to prevent yellowish leaves and poor production.

Some communities even offer free wood chips that are fine to use but may

John Pantea and Ken Arnold two years ago brought a little more country to Sugar Grove with the opening of Roundup Sports Bar & Grill.

Two years later, the restaurant is going strong, having become an integral part of Sugar Grove’s dining scene.

“We chose the western theme because we felt it fit the area,” Pantea said. “The Sugar Grove community is surrounded by people who love the country life, so we wanted to bring that into our restaurant.”

Roundup is known for its food, drinks and entertainment. It hosts trivia night at 7 p.m. every Wednesday (with a chance to win prizes) and open mic night at 8:30 p.m. every Thursday, and it has occasionally has a band play on the weekend. For drinkers, the bar has 16 beers on tap, 50 bottled beers and a considerable liquor selection.

And the customers can’t stop talking about the food. One customer raved on Facebook about the granny apple bacon burger, saying, “The burger with sweet potato fries is awesome. The dipping sauce for the sweet potato fries tastes as if angels from

watch sporting events. With its 13 HD flat screen TVs and a state-of-the-art sound system, it brings in big crowds for Chicago sporting games.

“The big Chicago games, especially a Blackhawks playoff game, take over the atmosphere of the bar during the week, replacing the open mic night or trivia night if they fall on the same day,” Pantea said.

Recent Route 30 construction has been a slight setback for the restaurant, but that hasn’t stopped the regulars from coming in. Roundup has a steady flow of between 50 and 100 customers each day, with Wednesday through Saturday being its most crowded days.

Once Route 30 construction is completed and Roundup’s parking lot is repaved, Pantea said he hopes to build an outdoor beer garden/patio that will expand seating by 60 to 80 people. The outdoor space would allow Roundup to host bags tournaments, outdoor entertainment and even an outdoor volleyball court.

“These are all things we are considering, but it will depend on what our landlord and the city allows us to do,” Pantea said.

Albright Theatre to begin ‘Over the Tavern’ April 22

By BEN DRAPER bdraper@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – A North Aurora man will make his directorial debut when the Albright Theatre in Batavia presents “Over the Tavern,” which opens April 22 for an eight-show run.

Jeff Pripusich didn’t intend on directing the play at first – he instead was drawn to one of the roles.

“At first I didn’t plan to consider putting my Jeff hat in the ring to direct Pripusich this show. But the more I read the script, a vision of each character grew larger and larger in my mind’s eye. Before I knew it, I had this clear vision of how I thought this play should be staged, including the set design, music and sounds,” he said. “When I found out I was chosen to direct, I hit the ground running.”

The Tom Dudzick play is a warm and hilarious look at family, faith and growing up in the 1950s. Twelve-yearold Rudy Pazinski is a smart kid, with an even smarter mouth, who is starting to question his parents, rules and the Roman Catholic Church. When Rudy goes up against the ruler-wielding Sister Clarissa and announces that instead of being confirmed he’d rather shop around for a more “fun” religion, prepare yourself for a little fire and brimstone and a lot of laughs.

“It’s not just a show about living in the 1950s as a Catholic family, it’s a slice of life that many people can relate to, highlighting the trials and tribulations of the average family with all its joys and pitfalls,” Pripusich said. “It’s a wonderful story with many touching and humorous moments. I hope audiences can see a part of themselves or their family and friends in one or more of the

If you go n WHAT: “Over the Tavern” n WHEN: 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays

and 2 p.m. Sundays, April 22, 23, 24, 29 and 30 and May 1, 6 and 7 n WHERE: Albright Theatre Company, 100 N. Island Ave. in Batavia n INFO: The play has been rated PG. Advance tickets are recommended and cost $15 for adults and $12 for students and seniors. Tickets can be purchased by calling 630-406-8838.

Jonah Harder of Montgomery plays the precocious Rudy. Landon Keller (Batavia), Nathan Reilly (Glen Ellyn), Abby Kennedy (Batavia), Jami Johnson (Geneva) and Jim Oberg (Oswego) are the other members of the Pazinski family, and Dorothy Attermeyer (Hinsdale) plays Sister Clarissa. This production of “Over the Tavern” is supported by assistant director and stage manager Cara Schuster of Batavia and producer Jeannine Collins of Carol Stream.

“At auditions, I hoped to have a good turnout of actors to choose from to fill each role. I never dreamed that each and every actor we selected would be exactly whom I had in mind for their respective parts,” Pripusich said. “With each passing week as we approach opening night, my love for this cast and show continues to grow. I can’t wait for folks to come and see it.”

Pripusich said he feels a personal connection with the script.

“I grew up in the Catholic faith and had a few Sister Clarissas at my grade school,” he said.

In “Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat” (Clarkson Potter), Chrissy Teigen capitalizes on her social media popularity and supermodel status to build on her credentials as a competent home cook who’s eager to share her enthusiasm for all things culinary.

Teigen, whose image once graced the cover of a Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, has a food website with some five million Instagram followers. She describes the kitchen as her favorite room “wherever I am living.”

In the introduction to the book she co-authored with food writer Adeena Sussman, Teigen exclaims: “Cooking can be intimidating to a lot of people, and I want you to know you really can make a great meal without having gone to Le Cordon Bleu.”

Alongside her mouthwatering recipes, readers will encounter a liberal dose of glamour photos of Teigen and her celebrity spouse, R&B singer John Legend.

The book itself devotes chapters to breakfast, soups, salads, noodles and carbs and “things that intimidate people but shouldn’t,” among others.

There’s even one focused on recipes from Teigen’s mother, who was born in Thailand.

Sesame Chicken Noodles (recipe below) is palate-pleasing and a surefire hit that busy cooks will return to time and again. Preparation time is 15 minutes; overall time to get to the table: 45 minutes.

Sesame Chicken Noodles Serves 4 as a light meal or 6 as a side dish

Kosher salt 1 eight-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breast 8 ounces dried fettuccine 2 tsp. sesame oil 1/4 cup peanut oil 1/4 cup tahini 3 Tbl. soy sauce 2 Tbl. red wine vinegar 2 tsp. chili oil 1 tsp. honey 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper* 1 garlic clove, minced 2 scallions, thinly sliced * Note: We found using 1/8 tsp. sufficed. Readers should use their own discretion.

Chrissy Teigen has written the cookbook “Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat,” which was co-authored with food writer Adeena Sussman. Alongside her mouthwatering recipes, readers will encounter a liberal dose of glamour photos of Teigen and her celebrity spouse, R&B singer John Legend.

Fill a large saucepan two-thirds full of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Salt so that it tastes good, add the chicken breast and remove the pot from the heat.

Cover and let the chicken sit until cooked but very tender, about 15 minutes. (If you’re using two smaller breasts, decrease the time by about 3 minutes.) Remove the chicken from the water (don’t throw the water away). Cut into the chicken to check its doneness; if it’s still a little pink, return it to the water for another minute or two. Remove the chicken to a plate and let it rest while you cook the noodles.

Bring the water the chicken was cooked in back to a boil over high heat. Add the fettuccine and cook to al dente according to the package directions. Drain, rinse the pasta in cold water until cool, then shake it dry in a colander.

While the pasta cooks in a medium bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil, the peanut oil, tahini, soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, honey, cayenne and garlic until smooth.

Transfer the noodles to a large bowl and use a clean paper towel to gently pat the noodles as dry as is actually reasonable. Toss the noodles with the remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil.

Shred the chicken with your hands or chop it into bite-size pieces and add it to the noodles. Add the remaining dressing and toss to coat. Garnish with the scallions.

Diet may protect brain and heart Dear Dr. K: I know that the Mediterranean diet is supposed to improve heart health. Recently I heard it also improves brain health. Is that pretty well established? Of all the organs I want to protect, my brain is “numero uno.”

Dear Reader: I agree with your priorities regarding organs: My brain is “numero uno,” too. And I do think the evidence is strong that the Mediterranean diet does protect the brain. This diet emphasizes fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, nuts, fish, poultry, olive oil and wine.

Most of the evidence about the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet comes from observational studies. In such studies, large numbers of people are followed for many years. Information about their lifestyle and any diseases they may have developed is collected. Most such studies have found that people who follow the Mediterranean diet have a lowered risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

However, observational studies that link a lifestyle behavior to a disease (or to protection against a disease) can’t prove causation. That is, it may be true that people who follow a Mediterranean diet do have a lower risk of Alzheimer’s, but that doesn’t mean that the diet is the reason for the lower risk. Something else about people who follow the Mediterranean diet may protect them from Alzheimer’s.

To prove causation, scientists must conduct randomized controlled trials.

Such studies are not often done to test the effect of lifestyle on health; they are very expensive and impractical. To prove that the Mediterranean diet reduced the risk of Alzheimer’s, scientists would need to have thousands of people assigned at random to either follow the Mediterranean diet or not – for 20 to 30 years. And the scientists would need to ensure that those

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff tens of thousands of people really were eating the way the study told them to eat.

Smaller and shorter randomized trials are more practical, but less likely to provide definite answers. One such study was reported in 2013. About 300 people in Spain were assigned to follow either the Mediterranean diet or a low-fat diet for about four years. Intensive tests of thinking were performed at the start of the study and after four years. The people who followed the Mediterranean diet had a modest improvement in several measures of thinking. Those who followed the low-fat diet had a slight deterioration.

In 2015, a novel observational study was reported. About 700 people, with an age range of 65 to 90, had magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed to examine their brains.

Those who followed the Mediterranean diet had larger brains, or brains that had shrunk less since they were young. They had brains that were the size of people five years younger, compared to people who did not follow the diet. The specific factors in the diet that seemed most closely tied to larger brains were eating lots of fish and little red meat.

I’m not arguing that the Mediterranean diet has been proven to protect the brain. But the evidence is strong enough that I have long since adopted the diet myself.

While I was out at a bar recently, I ran into the boyfriend. My friend is now mad at me because I said hello to him. She thinks I should have ignored him, given him a dirty look or had words with him in public, but that’s not me. She’s now saying she never wants to talk to me or see me again. She told me to have a good life! I know she’s bitter, but I feel that was a little extreme.

What should I do? – Confused Godmother Dear Confused: Frankly, I think you should take this vindictive individual at her word until she apologizes. If you do as I suggest, there will be far less turmoil and drama in your life.

Dear Abby: My girlfriend and I each own our homes and have about the same mortgage payment. She ends up staying with me most of the time because I live closer to where we both work. I recently found out that she has been Airbnbing her condo a lot of the weekends when she stays with me. I feel taken advantage of even though it doesn’t really affect me whether her place is empty or she’s getting rent. What is the etiquette on such an arrangement? Should I be getting a cut? I feel if I told her I wanted to stay at her place and rent out mine, she would want some of the money. – Weekend Roomies Dear Weekend Roomies: There is no rule of etiquette governing whether you’re entitled to some of the income she receives from renting out her place while she’s visiting you. Discuss this with your entrepreneurial girlfriend and see how she feels about sharing the wealth. Her reaction will give insight into her character.

Dear Abby: I am an elementary school teacher, and I have noticed that many of my colleagues come to work when they’re sick. Taking time away from work to recover from an illness seems to be viewed as weakness. We have sick days, but they are proud of the fact that they don’t use them.

These coworkers wear their illnesses like badges of honor -- as if coming to work sick somehow shows their dedication. I feel it is inconsiderate to the children and to other staff members who are forced to spend hours with them in enclosed spaces exposed to their germs.

I’m not sure how to express my feelings without causing a rift because one of the worst offenders is the principal. Any suggestions? –

Dr. Wallace : I’m a 16-year-old guy and live with my parents and my 19-year-old sister.

She has been seeing a guy for over a year and it wouldn’t surprise me if they got married in the next few years.

Her boyfriend has a sister my age. I’ve seen her several times when our two families have been together. She is very nice and not bad looking.

Last Saturday, I was at the mall with a buddy and I saw her and a friend in a bookstore and we stopped and said hello.

Before we left, I asked “Rosa” if she would go out with me sometime and she said, “Call me.”

When I came home I told my sister about seeing Rosa and said I had asked her out. I thought she’d be happy for me, but she said she didn’t want me to go out with her. When I asked why, she said it would be “too heavy” for a brother and a sister to be dating a brother and a sister.

I don’t think her philosophy makes sense. What do you think? Please hurry with your answer. – Pedro, Las Cruces,

Sick & Tired in California Dear Sick & Tired: Just this: You are entitled

to air your feelings about this with other staff members in the teachers’ lounge. However, if you think your principal might retaliate if you complain about his/her lack of consideration, make a point of keeping your distance when your boss shows any symptoms of something contagious.

N.M. Pedro : I think your sister is

not thinking rationally. Identical twins have married identical twins and had successful marriages.

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace My father married my mother and his brother married my mother’s sister and they all lived happily ever after – well, as happily as two Irish couples could!

Dr. Wallace : I’m 19 and dating a guy who is 23. He’s a good guy and he says he loves me and wants to marry me. I care for him a lot and marriage to him is a possibility.

The hang-up is Alex’s mother. When I was 16, I got pregnant and since I don’t believe in abortion I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.

Emma is now 2 and lives with my mother and me. She is most important in my life and I love her with all my heart and soul.

Of course, Alex knows Emma and seems to like her. Alex and his mother are very close because she raised him by herself.

His father was killed in an auto accident when he was only 3 years old.

Alex’s mother despises me because I am an unwed mother.

She rarely talks to me and lately I have refused to go to her house because I don’t want her to feel uncomfortable.

Alex admits that his mother does not like me and doesn’t want him to marry me. He thinks that in time, she will come around and learn to accept me.

He also admits that she probably will never accept Emma as her granddaughter.

All this makes me feel very uneasy. I know that it will be entirely up to me to decide if I want to marry Alex, but I’d appreciate your input with regard to the situation. – Nameless,

Joplin, Mo. Nameless : Plan to marry Alex

only when you are convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that he loves you and will be a wonderful, loving father to Emma and that you truly love him and you want to share the rest of your life with him.

If the love I mentioned is evident, it will overpower the close tie between Alex and his mother.

If he won’t concede that his mother will drop to number three in importance in his life, behind you and Emma, do not consider marrying him.

If that’s the case, he’s not ready for such a commitment and his mother’s influence could erode the marriage.

TELEVISION Best Bets THURSDAY

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM The Big Bang Theory No one likes to be caught in the middle of an argument ... which is even more the case when Sheldon and Leonard (Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki) are the two people fighting, as in the new episode “The Viewing Party Combustion.”

Neither of them lets anything go easily, and the other members of the group are wary of choosing a side in the battle. Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch also star.

7 p.m. on % WMAQ Strong For the seven of the original 10 teams still in the competition, the title of the new episode “Don’t Give Up the Fight” has true meaning. Adam and CC have a big conflict. A Medallion Challenge means the Elimination Tower looms for the second time for one of the squads, and two of the duos eventually end up there. Gabrielle Reece is the host of the show, which includes Sylvester Stallone among its executive producers.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Grey’s Anatomy A young accidental-shooting victim is the principal concern of the doctors in the new episode “Trigger Happy.” Callie’s (Sara Ramirez) decision about Sophia upsets Arizona (Jessica Capshaw), who isn’t happy about not being consulted first. Wilmer Valderrama continues his guest role. Ellen Pompeo, Justin Chambers, Chandra Wilson, James Pickens Jr. and Kevin McKidd also star.

7 p.m. on ) WGN DC’s Legends of Tomorrow What’s the story with Rip (Arthur Darvill)? The question largely is answered by the new episode “Last Refuge,” as the character assigns the Legends to kidnap their younger selves — the state in which he first met them — when a killer known as the Pilgrim (guest star Faye Kingslee) targets those more youthful versions. The experience proves challenging for Professor Stein (Victor Garber), Sara (Caity Lotz) and others who have problems with their pasts.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Bones Brennan (Emily Deschanel) can’t keep her feelings out of an investigation in the new episode “The Murder of the Meninist.” A fatal car crash leads her to a men’s-rights organization that has very specific views on women — of a sort that enrages Brennan. Not helping her mood: Booth’s (David Boreanaz) belief that she’s a jinx on hockey’s Philadelphia Flyers. Angela (Michaela Conlin) and others try to boost Hodgins’ (TJ Thyne) spirits.

7:31 p.m. on ^ WBBM The Odd Couple Not seen much since “Desperate Housewives” ended, Teri Hatcher resurfaces in the new episode “From Here to Maturity,” guest-starring as a neighbor whose nanny (guest star Brianne Howey) catches the eye of the considerably older Oscar (Matthew Perry). Emily (Lindsay

Anna Faris stars in “Mom” Thursday on CBS. Sloane) wants Felix (Thomas Lennon) to reciprocate for her willingness to accommodate his interests by having him get involved in one of hers. Wendell Pierce and Yvette Nicole Brown also star.

8 p.m. on _ WLS Scandal Though she has the residual effects of her recent actions to consider, Olivia (Kerry Washington) also is concerned about Jake and Rowan (Scott Foley, Joe Morton) upon learning their plans in the new episode “Til Death Do Us Part.”

She’s even more worried to find their scheme already is in motion, prompting her to take prompt but difficult action. Flashbacks reveal major points of Jake’s background. Tony Goldwyn, Bellamy Young and Joshua Malina also star.

8 p.m. on ) WGN The 100 The return of Jaha (Isaiah Washington) means different things to different people in the new episode “Demons.” Murphy (Richard Harmon) is shocked to run into a certain someone. Octavia (Marie Avgeropoulos) finds possibly vital information. Bob Morley, Devon Bostick, Lindsey Morgan and Christopher Larkin also star.

8 p.m. on @ WFLD American Grit Current losers of the competition have a chance to reverse their fortunes in the new episode “Ice Cubed,” as members of the low-ranking teams are sent to “The Circus.” They have to work together, with only one of two options: to establish a system by which they all succeed, or to throw in the towel — never the preferred result on this series. John Cena is the host, and members of the military-veteran “cadre” include Noah Galloway and Nick Irving.

8:01 p.m. on ^ WBBM Mom Christy (Anna Faris) has a hard time relating to the late Jodi’s boyfriend (guest star Jesse Luken) — and suppressing her true emotions — when he attends a recovery meeting she’s at in the new episode “Beast Mode and Old People Kissing.” Such gatherings also generate a problem for Bonnie (Allison Janney), whose beau Adam (William Fichtner) would rather have her spend the time with him. Mimi Kennedy, Jaime Pressly and Beth Hall also star.

8:30 p.m. on ^ WBBM 2 Broke Girls Caroline’s (Beth Behrs) life was the reason for the trip that took her and Max (Kat Dennings) to Hollywood, but it’s Max’s life that’s the focus of the new episode “And the Attack of the Killer Apartment.” Randy (guest star Ed Quinn), who has followed her from the West Coast to the East Coast, wants to see her home in order to learn more about her. Caroline pursues a license to serve liquor at the dessert bar. Steve Agee (“New Girl”) also guest stars.

9 p.m. on % WMAQ Game of Silence A decision by Gil (Michael Raymond-James) to operate in his own appears destined to have effects on others in the new episode “Hurricane Gil.” He surprises one of the former Quitman guards, prompting Jackson (David Lyons) to develop serious doubts about remaining a part of the revenge scheme. Larenz Tate, Bre Blair, Claire van den Boom and Conor O’Farrell also star.

9 p.m. on _ WLS The Catch A possible political upheaval is faced by a client Alice (Mireille Enos) has had for some time, due to a blackmail threat, in the new episode “The Laragan Gambit.” In a bid to cover a debt, Ben and Margot (Peter Krause, Sonya Walger) stage a risky jewelry robbery. Alice’s doubts about Dao (Jacky Ido) increase. Guest stars include Erica Gimpel (“Fame”) and David Andrews. Alimi Ballard and Rose Rollins also star.

FRIDAY

7:31 p.m. on _ WLS Dr. Ken The sitcom ends its season with the tellingly titled “Ken Tries Stand-Up,” in which Ken (Ken Jeong) is inspired to attempt a comedy performance upon being visited by a college pal (guest star Jeff Ross) who’s made a name for himself in that field. In the process, Ken learns a lot about that profession — sort of an inside joke, since Jeong’s success in stand-up led to his television and movie careers. Suzy Nakamura, Albert Tsai and Dave Foley also star.

8 p.m. on % WMAQ Grimm For all the talk there is of brittle bones, few are as unreliable as the ones inside a deceased man — or, more precisely, those that used to be inside him — in the new episode “Good to the Bone.” They apparently turned to liquid, and Nick and Hank’s (David Giuntoli, Russell Hornsby) probe leads them to the strange arrangements within a family. Hank has other concerns when a former girlfriend (guest star Sharon Leal) resurfaces. Reggie Lee also stars.

8 p.m. on _ WLS Shark Tank Never think that youth necessarily works against innovation, as two Denver high-schoolers prove with their twist on the ice-cream cone in this new episode. An Oregon inventor shows how a stroller for children also can provide a solid workout, and youngsters also are on the mind of a Texas woman who’s created a line of products for kids. Also, Las Vegas magicians use illusion in trying to sell the typically realistic Sharks on their business idea.

Bridget Moynahan stars in “Blue Bloods” Friday on CBS. 8 p.m. on @ WFLD Hell’s Kitchen The competition is at a critical phase, thanks to the surprising outcome of the previous round, as indicated by the title of the new episode “3 Chefs Compete.” A quickly prepared steak dish and two sides are judged by an executive chef from a Wolfgang Puck restaurant, who will prepare a meal himself for the winner and Chef Gordon Ramsay. The dinner service involves a few tricks played on the remaining contestants, to test their concentration.

9 p.m. on ^ WBBM Blue Bloods A case of terrorism in the Middle East prompts Frank (Tom Selleck) to worry that a related attack on New York may be imminent in “Worst Case Scenario.” Advised as usual by Garrett and Gormley (Gregory Jbara, Robert Clohessy), he tries to determine how to take necessary precautions without alarming the city’s general population. Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes, Len Cariou and Amy Carlson also star.

9 p.m. on + WTTW Jazz The Depression left the public seeking any form of escape ... which proved quite beneficial for jazz music, a fact verified by “The Velocity of Celebration (1937-1939)” as the encore of Ken Burns’ 2011 documentary series continues. The saxophone became a signature instrument of the genre, and a number of female musicians gained prominence. Also, New York’s Carnegie Hall became a showplace for jazz then, thanks largely to legendary bandleader Benny Goodman.

SATURDAY

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM NCIS: Los Angeles Has a missing teen been enlisted by terrorists? That’s the concern as the team becomes involved in the search for the young woman in “Defectors.” The thought that she could be involved in such activities is rejected by some, causing Callen (Chris O’Donnell), Sam (LL Cool J) and their comrades to lose valuable time in finding her. Linda Hunt, Daniela Ruah, Eric Christian Olsen and Miguel Ferrer also star.

12 p.m. on _ WLS NBA Basketball Conference quarterfinal action continues today in the NBA playoffs with four games on ABC and TNT, the first of which pits the San Antonio Spurs and Memphis Grizzlies. The eight survivors of this round advance to next week’s conference semis. ABC, ESPN and TNT will have coverage of these best-of-seven series.

12 p.m. on @ WFLD NASCAR Racing Fans of “boys have at it” racing have certainly been in their glory the past three weeks with races at short tracks at Martinsville, Bristol and Richmond — the last being the home of today’s Toyota Owners 400. Kurt Busch dominated on the .75-mile Virginia oval a year ago, leading for 291 of 400 laps to outdistance Kevin Harvick and Jimmie Johnson and notch his 26th career victory and second at Richmond.

6 p.m. on @ WFLD Bordertown Bud (voice of Hank Azaria) holds fast when a “Wildfire” — the title of this new episode — forces an evacuation of Mexfornia. His refusal to leave his dwelling means Ernesto (voice of Nicholas Gonzalez) eventually has to rescue him. J.C. (also voiced by Gonzalez) and Becky (voice of Missi Pyle) decide not to be mutually exclusive and to start dating others. Alex Borstein and Judah Friedlander also are in the voice cast.

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM Madam Secretary A lot goes on for Henry (Tim Daly), on both the personal and professional fronts, in the new episode “Connection Lost.” He attends couples therapy with Elizabeth (Tea Leoni), conducted by her usual counselor (returning guest star Marsha Mason).

(Chris Noth) affairs — of all kinds. Michael J. Fox returns as attorney Louis Canning.

8 p.m. on _ WLS The Family Someone is looking in on Adam’s (Liam James) therapy sessions in the new episode “Betta Male,” as Nina (Margot Bingham) researches his background by observing his exchanges with his counselor. She’s also concerned about her detective partner’s disappearance. Hank (Andrew McCarthy) gets new insight into the identity of Adam’s abductor. Claire’s (Joan Allen) relatives rally around her as the gubernatorial debate nears. Grant Show guest stars.

8 p.m. on + WTTW Masterpiece Mystery!

It could be the beginning of the end for Sidney and Geordie (James Norton, Robson Green) in the new “Episode 5” of “Grantchester Season 2,” though there’s still one more episode left in the current round. Geordie finds himself accused of the death of a suspect, a jewel thief (Matthew Jure) who had claimed Geordie was involved with his wife (Tanya Franks). Sidney tries to prove him innocent while dealing with several personal matters of his own.

8 p.m. on @ WFLD Family Guy Brian’s jokes irritate Stewie (both characters voiced by Seth MacFarlane) to the extent that they have a fight, prompting Stewie to create a companion in “Robot Guy.” As might be expected from that title, the pal is mechanical — and too smart for his inventor’s good, since he (it?) then unfriends Stewie. Peter (also voiced

by MacFarlane) has to go mattress shopping at Lois’ (voice of Alex Borstein) insistence. Patrick Warburton also is heard.

8:30 p.m. on % WMAQ Crowded Ethan (Clifford McGhee) still can’t be dissuaded from his ardor for Shea (Miranda Cosgrove) when he falls under her supervision as a fastfood worker in the new episode “Unemployable.”

January Jones and Cleopatra Coleman also star.
