CAP event celebrates students The Kane County Chronicle hosted its annual CAP awards event April 19 at Mill Creek Country Club near Geneva.

CAP – or the Chronicle Achievement Program – recognizes high school students throughout the academic year.

The students hail from 13 high schools and appear in the newspaper each month from October to April.

They are selected for recognition based on their strength in academics, their character and leadership.

High schools represented include St. Charles East, St. Charles North, Geneva, Batavia, Mooseheart, Kaneland, Burlington Central, South Elgin, Marmion Academy, Rosary, St. Francis, Aurora Central Catholic and Wheaton Academy.

Wrapping up the program is the annual CAP Evening of Applause, an awards event where students are recognized for their achievements. Also during the Evening of Applause, three students in attendance are selected to receive scholarships from the Chronicle.

I presented the awards at this year’s Evening of Applause, and it was my pleasure to read a little bit of information about every student who made it to the event.

These kids are incredible, and the Chronicle wishes them the best of luck in years to come.

Corn Boil Committee mulls festival funding Board does not vote on request for sale of beverages with higher alcohol content

By NATALIE JUNS editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – The Sugar Grove Village Board on April 19 discussed the Corn Boil Committee’s recent request for a higher alcohol-content level in beverages available at the annual festival. The village did not vote on the request for a higher alcohol content.

The Corn Boil Committee is specifically looking to sell alcoholic beverages that exceed 6 percent alcohol con-

tent, such as Mike’s Harder Lemonade and different craft beers, as a means to offset a funding shortage. The Corn Boil’s current permit allows it to sell beverages with an alcohol content of 6 percent or less.

Village Board trustees Rick Montalto and Kevin Geary abstained from voicing their opinion on the topic, as both are Corn Boil Committee members. However, they did mention the committee is trying to resolve its funding issues. Montalto explained the concerns regarding said issues.

“They had served frozen margaritas in a Slurpee form, but they aren’t doing it this year,” Montalto said. “We are missing $12,000 from our key sponsors, and the price for the fireworks went

up. It is a funding issue. I will ask the board about it in the next meeting.”

According to Village Administrator Brent Eichelberger, the Mike’s Harder Lemonade option wasn’t supported by the board. However, it may support a craft beer option with 6 percent alcohol content or less.

The Village Board discussed other possible solutions to overcome the committee’s funding issues, including charging $1 per person for admission.

Several trustees voiced their concern selling alcohol with an alcohol content more than 6 percent. Montalto mentioned that the Corn Boil started as a block party, and he is afraid of the festival losing its family theme by raising money with alcohol sales.

Waubonsee Community College groundskeeper Ryan Johnson hands Daniel Rische one of the free trees that were given out in honor of Earth Day on April 22.

The giving tree Waubonsee celebrates Earth Week with list of activities, presentations

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com Waubonsee Community College recently celebrated Earth Week with a slate of events that culminated with the planting of an autumn blaze maple tree behind the Student Center on Earth Day, April 22.

Even Waubonsee President Dr. Christine Sobek took a turn with a shovel to help plant the tree.

“As a nationally recognized Tree Campus USA, Waubonsee Community College is dedicated to maintaining and developing the campus landscape to the highest possible standards,” said Don Larsen, director of Campus Operations for Waubonsee Community College. “Earth Week is a celebration that allows the college staff to showcase many of the efforts Waubonsee Community College [does] to protect and promote such a beautiful campus.”

According to the U.S. Department of

Agriculture, the net cooling effect of a young, healthy tree is equivalent to a room-sized air conditioner operating 20 hours a day. Further, through photosynthesis an average-sized tree can provide enough oxygen for a family of four for one day, while studies have shown that trees help people feel better both physically and mentally.

Earth Week at Waubonsee began with a “Bringing Green Into Your Home” presentation by Mavis Bates, adjunct professor of math and sciences. Later, Jim Kleinwachter and The Conservation Foundation discussed “Bring Nature to Your Yard,” while Sue Bennett, acting chief of visitor services for the Pullman National Monument, gave a presentation about national parks. Jan Sorensen and Wasco Nursery gave a presentation regarding oak trees.

Approximately 40 administrators, students and guests attended the April 22 tree planting. Itrees.com, which participated in the planting event, discussed the significance of planting trees and maintaining their health.

“We care a great deal about the health of our communities,” Itrees.com founder Chris Harford said. “Planting trees today can make this place beautiful for future generations, and we are happy to help out at the college.”

Helping animals

Wild Baby Shower nets interest, donations for wildlife center

By SUSAN O’NEILL

If you go

editorial@kcchronicle.com ELBURN – Lucy the goose was one of the animal ambassadors on hand to welcome visitors to the Fox Valley Wildlife Center Wild Baby Shower on April 24. Lucy began squawking the moment she saw volunteer Arden Zich approach her enclosure.

“We all dote on her,” Zich said with a laugh. “She’s a very spoiled goose.”

Lucy was just an egg when a little girl first acquired her. When the egg hatched and Lucy was born, the first creature she saw was the little girl. She became emotionally attached to the child, and when the family tried to release Lucy into the wild, she kept coming back.

“When they brought Lucy to the wildlife center, she became an educational animal, and we became her guardians,” Zich said.

Although the volunteers at the center love Lucy and enjoy having her around, her situation is not what they would hope for the wild animals that are brought to the center.

“It’s not what’s best for wildlife,” volunteer Faith LaShure said.

LaShure said the center’s goal is to rehabilitate the injured, sick or orphaned animals they receive and then release them back into the wild where they belong.

“It can cost a lot to rehabilitate a wild animal,” LaShure said. “That’s why these fundraisers are so important.”

The nonprofit wildlife center, the only one of its kind in Kane County, is funded through donations and grants.

The Wild Baby Shower is an annual event that takes place at the beginning of the spring, when the influx of animals at the center typically begins. People who attend the shower are asked to bring an item from the center’s wish list, which

Some children who came to the baby shower at the Fox Valley Wildlife Center watch the antics of Lucy the Canadian goose. includes sweet potato baby food; dry dog, puppy, cat, kitten and rabbit chow; raw dog food; and meal worms, as well as an assortment of cleaning supplies and bags of natural shredded mulch.

For a complete list of the center’s needs, visit its website at www.fvwc.org.

The wildlife center’s education manager Donna Tate estimated that between 100 and 150 people attended the April 24 event, which featured various activities for the children, crafts and a bake sale, as well as a chance to meet the center’s educational animals.

“A lot of nice people came, and we received a lot of donations,” Tate said.

“They were greatly appreciated.”

She said people have been bringing injured and sick wildlife to the center for about five or six weeks this spring.

So far, there are about 30 squirrels, 50 bunnies, 10 geese, six orphaned raccoons and three great horned owl babies – and that’s just the beginning.

“We’re just about to see an explosion of babies,” Tate said.

The center is entering into its busiest season, with most of the 3,000 animals it cares for each year arriving from late spring into early fall.

During the shower, Tate offered photos taken with Zihna the red-tailed hawk. Zihna was brought to the center when she was hit by a car and suffered neurological damage.

Tate’s daughter Amanda, 19, introduced visitors to Wooka, a yellow-shafted northern flicker that was born with only one eye and misshapen feet.

Amanda, who began volunteering at the center when she was 16, served a year as an intern and is now in her second year on staff caring for the animals.

“It’s a lot of fun and a privilege,” she said.

There are about 40 or 50 volunteers who work at the center, Donna Tate said.

“That sounds like a lot,” she said.

“But there are three different shifts, and we’re always looking for more volunteers.”

The next orientation for new volunteers will take place from 1 to 2 p.m.

May 7 at the Fox Valley Wildlife Center, 45W061 Route 38, Elburn. More information and a sign-up sheet is available on the website.

Monetary donations also may be given online toward the purchase of new bird cages for all the hatchlings, nestlings and fledglings expected this season. Tate said the old cages were made of soft mesh and have disintegrated over time. The new ones will be made of stronger material and will last longer.

The goal is to raise $2,500 for the purchase, and Tate said they are twothirds of the way there.

The center’s mission is to care for wild animals in need and to give them a second chance for a good life in the wild. Center Director Laura Kirk said most of the animals they see have been affected by humans in some way.

Kirk is passionate about showing people how they can live in harmony with wildlife and also that problems with wild animals don’t need to be resolved by removing them from their habitat. Tate offers educational programs about wildlife neighbors at schools throughout Kane County as well as to nursing homes, libraries, and Girl Scout and Boy Scout organizations.

Waubonsee strives to maintain small-business programs KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com The Waubonsee Community College Board of Trustees recently approved adjustments to the way services are offered to small-business owners.

Because of the ongoing state budget standoff, the Small Business Development Center will close June 30. One full-time employee will become part of Waubonsee’s Workforce Development Division and will continue to offer workshops on a fee-for-services basis to small-business owners. One parttime, grant-funded position will not be renewed because of the loss of grant

funds, a news release stated.

“The board of trustees is committed to continuing to provide the SBDC’s award-winning services to the small-business owners throughout our district,” Waubonsee President Dr. Christine Sobek said in the release.

“However, with a lack of funding in 2016 and no funding anticipated for fiscal year 2017, we needed to restructure how services are provided.”

These changes come as part of the Waubonsee board of trustees’ commitment to continue to provide high-quality, state-of-the-art learning experiences and keep a balanced budget – in spite of the ongoing lack of state funding,

which amounts to about $7 million, the release stated. Because of the budget impasse in Illinois, Waubonsee has not received any state funding since the fiscal year started on July 1, 2015.

The college previously committed funds to keep the SBDC program up and running through June 2016. In other cost-saving measures, Waubonsee reduced spending on travel, and delayed filling vacant positions and the purchase of equipment, while also passing a tuition increase for next fiscal year.

The SBDC was established through a partnership between the college, the U.S. Small Business Adminis-

tration and the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to provide management, marketing and financial coaching to small-business owners and prospective small-business owners. Last year, about 400 small-business owners received services through the program, the release stated.

“While we are disappointed to have not received the grant to keep the SBDC running in its current form, we look forward to continuing these important services for our vibrant small-business community as an integral part of our Workforce Development offerings,” Sobek said.

Continued from page 7 PWNAGE is Team 2451 of FIRST Robotics, a nonprofit group that organizes annual competitions among member teams of high school students from around the country and the world, according to a press release. At World’s, PWNAGE will compete against 600 other high school teams by designing robots that can perform a variety of skills .

The PWNAGE robotics team is unique in that it is comprised of students from 10 surrounding Fox Valley and western suburb high schools, including the three students from Kaneland.

“I basically didn’t know anything about robotics coming into it,” Powell said. “I had to learn everything. It was different, but my career plans are for electrical engineering or electronic engineering, so I’m on the right path.”

The team will prepare for competition at Genesis Automation in St. Charles – the seventh year the team has prepared there, according to Genesis Automation President Scott Hale.

“We show the kids what it’s like to be an engineer – regardless if it’s software, electrical or whatever else when they’re selecting for their career,” Hale said. “They’re solving problems and they get to decide whether or not this is the work for them or not. I’d say nine times out of 10 they gravitate toward

it and realize this is what they want to do, and they get to brainstorm and actually do a lot of work.”

The team has spent a great deal of time designing, building and programming robotics, but it also raising money for the competitive venture, as well as publicizing its work and participating in community outreach.

“In the classroom, teachers will say that something is going to be useful, but – for the most part – people don’t understand,” Powell said. “The things we’re doing we know we’ll use, and we’re applying it. We’re learning why we should do some things and why we shouldn’t do others.”

Regardless of how the team fares this weekend, Powell considers the experience to be a valuable one.

“I’ve learned a lot more about the type of engineer that I want to be,” he said. “I really have enjoyed putting components together. It really piqued my interest, and I’ve stuck with it.”

The tiny “balloons” on this sprig of bladderwort help it take in nutrients in the form of tiny arthropods. The other animals in the picture, such as the aquatic sowbug (right) and the beetle (below), are too large for the carnivorous plant to capture.

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto here in Kane County. Only thing is, you might need to get your feet wet to see them.

Bladderworts (Utricularia spp.) are fully aquatic plants that can be found in various wetlands throughout our area. They’re not shaped like a pitcher (or vase), and they’re not sticky like sundew. All they need to capture food are their namesake bladders.

These little structures, which look like tiny translucent balloons on the plant’s stems, have microscopic hairlike projections (known as utrica, hence the genus name) on one end. These trigger hairs surround an opening on the bladder’s surface. When a small arthropod like a daphnia swims near, the ripples it creates stimulate the hairs, which then cause the bladder to open. Water, and the hapless bug, are sucked into the void and trapped when the bladder’s opening shuts. The victim quickly expires, and the plant then absorbs the nutrients released during the resulting decomposition.

The whole process is aided by a host of other tiny organisms that live on the plant and coat its finely divided leaves. These bacteria, diatoms and blue-green algae – collectively known as perphyton – are just the sort of thing that small creatures like daphnia feed on. Lured in by the promise of a meal, they bump into the trigger hairs and, pop! The would-be consumers are instead consumed.

The next time you find yourself participating in a conversation in carnivory, you might want to try spicing things up a bit; not with talk of meat-eating dinosaurs or even

humans with high protein requirements but rather lions and tigers and ... bladderwort.

Pam Otto is the manager of nature programs and interpretive services at the Hickory Knolls Discovery Center, a facility of the St. Charles Park District. She can be reached at 630-513-4346 or potto@stcparks.org.

Mention the word carnivore and folks tend to picture animals known for their meat-eating ways. Lions and tigers and bears (although the latter actually are omnivores). Tyrannosaurus rex. Linebackers.

Carnivorous plants, however, are a whole other matter. If you ask someone who’s not a botanist to name three different types, I’ll bet they stop after two: Venus’ flytraps and pitcher plants. (Audrey II, the bloodthirsty plant in “Little Shop of Horrors,” doesn’t count.)

Even in the botany world, carnivory is considered a narrow specialty. In the estimated (because nobody really knows for sure) 400,000 plant species in the world, 600 have been identified as carnivorous. If you’re into math, or money, 600/40,000 is the same percentage as .15/100, or 15 cents out of $100.

Put yet another way, that’s not a lot.

Why is that, you ask? Well, to begin, let’s look at what the other $99.85 worth of plants need to survive. Most of those require sunlight, moisture and nutrient-rich soils containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium – the N-P-K symbols on fertilizers you buy for your lawn and houseplants. But not every environment is able to offer those ideal conditions.

Bogs, characterized by an acidic pH, and fens, which are alkaline, provide plants with lots of water and sunlight but often have soil that is low in nutrients. Plants in these specific types of ecosystems have had to get creative, so to speak, in how they receive their sustenance.

Some went the route of carnivory.

Their leaves are modified into snap traps, pitfall traps or sticky traps, to name a few, and these adaptations allow them to consume prey that, depending on what the plant is and where it lives, can range from microbes to insects to vertebrates like small mammals.

If you’ve ever traveled to Volo Bog, a really neat state natural area about an hour north of St. Charles, you’ve probably seen carnivorous pitcher plants. Small but fascinating, these special plants merit their own stop on the bog’s self-guided tour maps. You also might recall reading about round-leaved sundew. It once grew in the bog and used its sticky tentacles to capture insect prey.

Alas, so alluring was this plant and its unique adaptations that it was collected into oblivion – by botany students, no less – and no longer grows there.

But Volo Bog isn’t the only place in Illinois to feature carnivorous plants. Nope, we have some right

businesses,” 5th Ward Alderman Maureen Lewis said.

First Ward Alderman Dan Stellato described it as an economic developmental tool that “shows we are business friendly.”

Aldermen requested the city roll the remaining $32,733 into next year’s budget, and Lewis suggested expanding the funding to other parts of the city.

“Why limit it to downtown?” she asked. “Places in my ward could probably use a little shot in the arm.”

O’Rourke said the program initially was limited to downtown so the city could get a good idea about how it would work before becoming too ambitious.

Aldermen on April 11 unanimously recommended that staff develop a proposal expanding the program.

Hill’s Country Store celebrates anniversary

By SUZANNE FLYNN editorial@kcchronicle.com KANEVILLE – The oldest building in Kaneville houses the village’s beloved Hill’s Country Store – aka “the purple store.” The business this month celebrated its ninth anniversary.

The building has been a store for more than a century and became Hill’s Country Store when owner Pat Hill bought it in 2007. She bought the store from Mary Nicely after working for many years at Nicely’s Dairy Dream and Grocery.

“When Mary decided to sell, I knew I needed to buy,” Hill said. “She is the one who painted the store purple because it was her favorite color.”

When asked if she would ever repaint the store, Hill said she never would out of respect for Mary.

“She taught me everything I know,” Hill said.

With her new business, Hill decided to offer more than just ice cream and grocery items. She added old-time candy, slushies, more ice cream varieties, hot foods, antiques, gift items, Kaneville Historical Society items and a bakery, Sweets and Treats.

“Sweets and Treats ... is run by my daughter Alexa,” Hill said. “She is a baking fool right inside the store and sells everything she makes.”

Hill’s Country Store visitors can get pizza, pulled pork or sloppy Joes on nearly a daily basis. On Thursdays, the store offers a taco bar, and it grills out on its outdoor patio Tuesdays and Fridays.

“It’s all about the community,” Hill said. “The store brings the community together, and I am offering more food options [at] my store because

that’s what the community wants and needs.”

Hill said she even plans movie nights and car shows for Kaneville when there’s not much else going on around the village.

It’s not just the Kaneville community that loves Hill’s Country Store.

Bicyclists from all over the western suburbs use Hill’s Country Store as a stopping point during rides. The store has welcomed riders from Wheaton, Geneva, St. Charles and even Lisle.

To celebrate its ninth anniversary April 27, the store offered free cake, ice cream and cotton candy all day, along with raffles, giveaways and hors d’oeuvres.

“I wanted to make this one special,” Hill said. “It’s a time for me to thank the community for their support – both professionally and personally – and give something back to them.”

helps new retail shop with grant

By MARK FOSTER editorial@kcchronicle.com

BATAVIA – A new retail shop in Batavia will receive a Downtown Improvement Grant to help fund a major plumbing project.

The Batavia City Council on April 18 approved a grant not to exceed $9,500 for The Tea Tree, 29 N. River St., to cover half of the cost of a grease trap mandated by the Kane County Health Department.

Melissa Hartmann of Oswego, who has been renovating the vacant space in the heart of the North River Street commercial district, said she plans to open her business in the second half of May or early June.

“The Tea Tree is a retail shop that will offer loose-leaf tea, fresh spice, gourmet oil and vinegar and essential oil,” Hartmann said.

Tea and spice products will be sold by the ounce and in prepackaged containers, Hartmann said.

The shop also will offer lotions, soaps, candles and other accessories.

“The proposed use is very much a destination-oriented, niche-type retailer,” said Chris Aiston, the city’s economic development consultant, adding it will help grow the downtown business district.

Aiston said the commercial grease trap project will be expensive at an estimated $19,000, and described the county’s insistence on the work as “overkill,” but said there is no choice. He recommended approval of the grant.

According to figures provided

by Aiston in a memo to aldermen, Hartmann is spending an estimated $34,000 to renovate the interior of the commercial space and investing $22,500 in inventory to open her shop.

Seventh Ward Alderman Dave Brown noted the plumbing project represents a permanent improvement to a downtown building.

Another loss of great magnitude was the passing of Karl “Kully” Madsen.

My memories go way back to the days of Madsen Dairy, which was on the corner across from what was then the fire station. Do you remember bringing milk money to school and the anticipated arrival of those small jugs of tasty chocolate milk? Kully’s career with the fire department is legendary. It serves as an example of ways to volunteer and contribute in meaningful ways, and how to be a well-respected leader. He always had a winning smile, deep-rooted affection for his family and his community. Edie, you have our deepest condolences for your loss and many thanks for sharing him with our community.

The sun is out again. Many of you might be ready to take that first step out as a volunteer. There are so many options for helping. And it will put you in another place, where you can smile and feel really good.

The first approach to this column came about under the influence of a really bad mood.

I would complain about a cheeseburger without the cheese, as in an east-side place that microwaved the Colby out of existence; or a mispronounced street name in a pharmacy telephone message.

A full week of sunshine and the magic beginning of the Chicago Cubs put me in a whole new place. Lots of gratitude, appreciation and anticipation came forward.

There is wide-ranging gratitude as so many of us celebrate the life of Fran Gustafson. Her journey of 101 years included service and dedication to teaching; her strong belief and participation in the life and the meaning of her church; and enduring and vivid love for her family and friends.

I got to know Fran better when we both wound up at an extended care facility. Her beloved husband, Wirth, had been principal when I was in high school, so we used that link and the connection to the University of Wisconsin, where her son Ken was on the varsity basketball team, to share memories. Fran was so proud of Ken and Ann and their families. She exhibited those same powerful concerns and affection for her past students that matched the strong, compassionate and effective traits of Principal Gustafson.

The whole community feels the loss of this fine lady and will remember the Gustafsons for their love and

OUR VIEW

Being able to say yes to a dress Prom – it’s a annual rite of passage for high school students with a certain magical feel.

For many students, it’s the first time they will get dressed up to the nines for a special occasion.

An article posted on Fortune.com in 2015 cited a Visa Inc. survey that noted American families were set to spend an average of $919 on prom.

That’s great for families that aren’t pinching pennies, but what about those that don’t have as much expendable income?

At least one local organization has stepped up to help – CHIP IN Batavia.

For the third year in a row, CHIP IN – Community Helpers Impacting People In Need – teamed up with Zano Salon & Spa in Batavia to provide free prom dresses to low-income and homeless students who might otherwise not be able to afford such fancy frocks. This year’s sale took place in mid-April.

We commend CHIP IN and Zano Salon for going the extra mile to make sure local students will look their best on prom night. Such a program has multiple benefits.

This year, about 60 dresses were given away, which means dozens of girls will have a better chance of celebrating prom in fashion. Most of the unsold dresses are stored, while older, outdated dresses go to Goodwill – a bit like recycling at its finest.

And then there are the proceeds from the dress sale, which was open to any student, with prices ranging between $25 to $50 – or free for certain students.

Funds raised will help students with additional prom costs, as well as helping young men with their tuxes.

Other proceeds will assist with attire for the eighth-grade dinner dance and the cost of graduation gowns for students in need.

We hope all students attending prom in Kane County have an unforgettable – and safe – time. And we hope they look absolutely fabulous in whatever they are wearing.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Check that activity off the bucket list Visit Mount Rushmore. Camp on the beach. Go indoor skydiving. Witness an eclipse. Swim in a waterfall.

Meet a celebrity.

A quick Google search of the words “bucket list” brings up thousands of activities such as these, all exciting opportunities that someone may have the chance to do during his or her life.

While the particular things a person wants to accomplish or do while they’re alive varies greatly, I think we can all agree that we each have our own personal “bucket list,” whether or not we classify it as such.

Everyone is different, so it’s only fair that your bucket list may be the total opposite of someone else’s. Some of you may be adventurers, yearning to go mountain climbing, bungee jumping or whitewater rafting. I admittedly do not fall into this category, but if it gives you an adrenaline rush, go for it!

Others might want to travel to exotic and exciting locations, whether it’s a rainforest in South America, a picturesque village in Europe or a sightseeing destination right here in the USA. Still others might want to have new experiences on a smaller scale, such as learning a language, trying a bizarre food or volunteering in the community. No matter what the activity, if

THE WRITE PLACE Emma Chrusciel you’re interested in giving it a try, why not go for it?

I have an unofficial bucket list of my own, and I’m proud to say I’ve already checked some items off of it. I saw a Broadway show (an absolutely spectacular production of “The Phantom of the Opera”) this past fall, and – in December 2014 – I met the cast members of “Newsies” at the stage door. I had the opportunity to go on a missions trip to Mexico this past summer and have seen many of our nation’s natural wonders, such as Niagara Falls and the Great Smoky Mountains.

However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t more I’d like to do in the future!

In the coming years, I’d like to go on a hot-air balloon ride, travel to Europe, go ziplining and visit a wax museum (as unusual as that last one may sound, I’m strangely intrigued by the idea of taking selfies with wax versions of celebrities!). These are just a few of the things that many years down the road, I hope I’ll be able to look back on them and re-

member them fondly.

Honestly, isn’t that the whole point of a bucket list in the first place? Creating a list of our goals, hopes and dreams helps us to make the most of where we are right now while creating cherished memories for the future. As scary as it may seem, we really only have a limited time here on Earth, so we should take every chance to live life to its fullest while we still can. By making a bucket list, you’ll be one step closer to making those dreams a reality.

A popular phrase, “carpe diem,” means to “seize the day,” and I think that’s a perfect representation of what a bucket list should be. Instead of waiting around to accomplish everything we want to, let’s seize the day and experience things we’ll never forget. No matter what your personal bucket list may look like, it’s a fantastic opportunity for you to make the most of every moment.

Sen. Sherrod Brown is a relatively accessible fellow, but when he was recently asked about a request for an interview on the subject of the schisms in his Democratic Party, his schedule was full. Instead, he sent along a banal statement that the Hillary Clinton-Bernie Sanders presidential primary battle was strengthening the party in contrast with the “divisive” Republican fight.

He’s right about the Republicans.

The personal invective and policy splits threaten to tear the party apart and produce an electoral cataclysm in November.

Yet that is camouflaging serious problems on the Democratic side: deep divisions on policy and an almost certain nominee, Clinton, who – if not for Donald Trump – would be the most unpopular leading presidential candidate in recent times.

The differences between Clinton and Sanders are more pronounced than those between Barack Obama and Clinton in 2008. Then, there were modest divergences on health care and national security, highlighted by her support five years earlier for George W. Bush’s decision to invade Iraq.

Mainly it was a difference of style and persona, a new voice in a change environment running against a candidate focused on recapturing the salad days of the last Democratic administration.

This time – on major economic issues, taxes, health care and regulating Wall Street – the gaps are much wider.

On national security, too, as Clinton

BLOOMBERG VIEW Albert Hunt hasn’t much moderated her interventionist bent: She was a leading advocate for the 2011 military action in Libya. The aftermath of the invasion turned out disastrously, and Obama has expressed regrets. She hasn’t.

Yet, if she is the Democratic nominee, she’ll need the Sanders followers in the autumn. She would be making a mistake to take them for granted and rely on Trump’s unpopularity. In the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, voters view him unfavorably, 65 percent to 24 percent, the highest negatives for a national political figure that the pollster Peter Hart has ever seen.

If it weren’t for Trump, however, the story would be about Clinton’s negatives. In the same survey, she was viewed unfavorably, 56 percent to 32 percent. She does poorly among some of Sanders’ core supporters, young people and independents.

If Sen. Ted Cruz becomes the Republican nominee, there’ll be a fierce ideological battle, with both sides working to energize the base. Trump or Cruz can be counted on to raise sensitive issues, ignored by Sanders, such as potential problems involving the Clinton Foundation, which has accepted huge donations from wealthy donors, as well as big contributions

from foreign interests. Clinton has said that the Clinton Foundation would continue to operate if she is elected president.

Clinton’s backers say she has more cards than her opponents. If, for instance, there is a foreign policy crisis during the fall campaign, many voters give her good marks for knowledge and experience. By contrast, in the Wall Street Journal/NBC News survey earlier this month, by more than 3 to 1, voters said they lacked confidence in Trump’s ability to deal with an international crisis.

She can send a message with a vice presidential choice. To be sure, such chatter now is purely conjectural.

At this stage in previous elections, Sarah Palin, Geraldine Ferraro and Dick Cheney – all eventually tapped – weren’t even on the radar screen.

But several people who talk to Clinton think she would be comfortable with Sen. Tim Kaine, a mature moderate who was a successful governor of Virginia, a swing state. She has been intrigued, they say, with the notion of picking another woman; Sen. Elizabeth Warren would excite the base. There is little chemistry between them, however, and – if she still wanted to play to the Sanders’ folk – a more palatable alternative might be the liberal Sen. Brown, which may help explain why he didn’t want to talk last week.

To the editor: Outrageous! The Illinois Human Rights Commission has fined a Christian business owner $80,000 for refusing to violate his conscience regarding hosting an event for a same-sex ceremony. And to make matters worse, they are mandating that he do the very thing that violates his religious beliefs.

This is the epitome of tyranny.

This bigoted decision is the latest strike in the war against religious liberty. Intolerant lawmakers and bureaucrats are now forcing citizens to do, say and act in accordance with a decidedly liberal worldview, and enforcing their dictates with the heavy hand of government.

Six years ago, leftists in Washington, D.C., decided to force all Americans into socialized health insurance, whether they wanted to or not.

Last year here in Illinois, Gov. Bruce Rauner joined with leftists to pass a law to censor professional counselors and clergy from helping needy children suffering from unwanted same-sex attraction or gender-confusion.

Today, there is a bill pending in the Illinois House that would quash rights-of-conscience protections of pro-life medical professionals by forcing them to refer patients to abortion providers.

How have we come to a place where we allow government to tell citizens what they can or cannot do or say despite their moral objections?

No American should be forced to do something that violates their sincerely held beliefs.

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.

2 KANELAND BOYS TRACK

‘We’re all thriving together’ Knights ready for breakthrough as stretch run nears

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com

MAPLE PARK – Personal records signify one thing to Kaneland boys track and field athletes. Being at your best means another.

As the season nears its stretch run and optimism swirls around next month’s IHSA Class 2A state series, however, the Knights realize one of these still can influence another.

“Really, after these last couple weeks, we’re getting PRs,” Kaneland sophomore distance runner Matt Richtman said. “A lot of us have been PRing in a lot of our events time after time, so it’s really been bringing up the whole team. We’re all thriving together.”

Host Kaneland placed fourth in its annual Peterson Prep invitational April 23, but the programs that finished ahead of it – Batavia, DeKalb and Geneva – all compete in Class 3A. Kaneland routinely lauds the depth and toughness of its schedule, but it turns out the feeling is mutual whenever 3A schools encounter the Knights.

“They’re top in the 2A,” said Geneva’s Brian Kuehl, who won the 800 meters at Peterson, “so they have great competition all-around.”

Several key contributors from last season’s sixth-place state meet finisher return for Kaneland, and their motivation has rubbed off on veteran coach Eric Baron’s varsity newcomers.

Junior Danny Walker falls into a separate but no less enthusiastic category. The defending 2A state pole vault champion – who cleared 14 feet, 9 inches to win the title last season – is growing progressively stronger on the heels of shoulder surgery.

See KNIGHTS, page 3

KANELAND GIRLS TRACK

The Kaneland girls track and field team excelled at the April 22 Wauconda Invitational. The Knights set four meet records and finished second to Class 3A powerhouse Grant.

The Knights started off by winning the first two events, the 4x800-meter relay and the 4x100, in meet-record times. The 4x800 foursome of Sarah Daley, Brianna Bower, Noelle Espino and Becca Richtman captured the race in 9:42.46. Shanya Hurston, Allie Heinzer, Nicole Sreenan and Carley Elliott combined to win the 4x100 in 49.16.

Later in the meet, Richtman placed third in the 800 in a personal-record time of 2:24.97, Elliott placed third in the 100 in 13.04, and Bower placed second in the 1,600 in 5:20.55. Carly Bartholomew placed third in the 400 in 63.38, and Jamie Martens placed second in the 300 hurdles in 49.10.

Kaneland also swept the four relays by winning the 4x200 in a meet record Mary Beth Nolan - For Shaw Media

Kaneland’s Clayton Hannula celebrates the distance on a discus throw during the Knights’ Peterson Prep Invite on April 23. Kaneland, a Class 2A program that prides itself on a tough schedule, will host the annual Kane County meet on May 6.

• KNIGHTS

Continued from page 2 Although that has extended the Knights’ wait to reach the all-important “full-strength” category, the team knows it, like everything during outdoor season, will pass.

“It seems like indoor kind of takes a while to come because we have a lot of training with each other to kind of prepare for it,” Richtman said. “And then it really flies by once we really get to it.”

Speaking of flying by, Richtman experienced an equivalent during the 3,200 at Peterson. Richtman won the 3,200 in 9:41.69, nearly five seconds clear of his nearest competitor and 11 seconds better than his previous PR. “I really kicked it in the last two laps, and I got it,” Richtman said. “It was a little bit windy, but you can’t have a perfect day.”

Winds grew slightly more mellow as the meet progressed, with high temperatures reaching the mid-60s on a clear, sunny day.

Again, the Knights were glad to test their mettle against a tough field. Then

“We just compete with each other in practice, push each other to better and faster times.”

Matt Richtman Kaneland sophomore distance runner

again, Kaneland workouts get pretty intense, too.

“We just compete with each other in practice, push each other to better and faster times,” Richtman said.

Lately, even the seemingly mundane task of meet preparation has brought out Kaneland’s energy. Athletes helped groom the grounds on April 22, the eve of the Peterson meet, and a healthy group of middle school volunteers assisted during the competition.

The Knights will host the annual Kane County meet May 6 and compete in the Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference meet one week later.

Those competitions provide a precursor to the state series and what Kaneland hopes is a satisfying climb.

time of 1:44.65 with Martens, Heinzer, Sreenan and Elliott. The 4x400 team won in 4:06.08 behind Bartholomew, Heinzer, Martens and Daley.

“We had some very good performances across the board on a frigid evening,” Knights coach Doug Ecker said. “On the track, we concentrated on the relays and won all four and set three meet records, with Sarah Daley having breakthrough legs of the 4x400 and 4x800 for us. Brianna Bower ran strong in the mile, as did Becca Richtman in the 800.”

Lexie Guerra set the Knights’ fourth meet record by winning the pole vault with an effort of 10 feet, 6 inches. Teammate Sydney Davidson also jumped 10-6, with the win going to Guerra based on having fewer misses. In the high jump, Maddie Keifer placed second with a season-best height of 5-1, and Sandra Gale was fourth in 4-9. Keifer placed fourth in the triple jump (32-07.25), and Crystal Durham was second in the long jump (16-1).

Rare respite offers food for thought It was a little chilly April 23 if you weren’t sitting in the sun, so I retreated to my car. But all I could find for warmth was an umpire pullover.

That was as close as I got to umpiring this past weekend, and it was glorious.

I was able to attend my niece’s First Communion that day. I can’t tell you how many family events I’ve missed because there is such a demand for umpires, especially during the high school year. It overlaps with the youth season and weekends are often also loaded with youth games and travel tournaments.

For the first time that I can remember in years, fried chicken, Italian beef sandwiches and the company of family didn’t take a backseat to chirping dads, Gatorade and granola bars. Judging by my waistline, I didn’t need the catered grub, but I certainly enjoyed the break, and for me to sidestep Italian beef is like Billy Martin avoiding an umpire confrontation – it isn’t going to happen.

I had worked 15 straight days, and as much as I love baseball, I really enjoyed having a couple of days away from the game. When was the last

QUILL THE UMPIRE Chris Rollin Walker time you worked 15 straight days? I have plenty of family and friends that on that famous day known as Friday are ecstatic for the work week to finally be over and they’ve only gone five straight days. Imagine tripling that.

I’ve often said that I’m a baseball addict. I cannot picture myself away from the game as a participant, whether it’s as a player, coach or umpire.

Even now, after just a couple of days away, I’m a bit restless to get out there again. Trying as hard as I might, I cannot recall the last time I took an entire weekend off, and I started doing this when Andre Dawson won the MVP for the Cubs and Mark McGwire was the Rookie of the Year for the A’s.

Yep, I’ve been doing this a long time – since 1987, for those scoring at home – and sometimes I wonder how long will I continue to do this. For now, I believe as long as I’m physically able to do so, but I also know that

if I reach that point where the love to do it isn’t there any longer, I respect the game too much that I’ll hang it up right then and there. I guess if I reach that point – when a country singer writes a fall-out-of-love-baseball song about me – then I’ll know my time is up.

I doubt I’ll ever fall out of love with baseball, though – unless MLB goes to robot umpires, eliminates the DH and adds more wild-card teams – but I can see why coaches and umpires reach a point where they need to step away from the game, either permanently or temporarily.

My neighbor and longtime umpire pal, Sugar Grove resident Dan Farmer, stepped away earlier this year.

I gave him a call about some upcoming things for the spring season and he shockingly told me he was done. He simply wasn’t feeling it, and a great umpire like Dan isn’t going to officiate just to umpire games, so he called it a career. I’ll miss the chance of working with Dan again, but who knows, maybe he’ll reconsider and return again next year or beyond.

We certainly could use him. Good, experienced umpires are always in need and Dan’s certainly one of the best of them. I also have no doubt that he’s not avoiding the game. With the start the White Sox have had, I’m certain Dan has been catching his fair share of games without having to worry about an achy back or knees from calling balls and strikes from two hours earlier in the afternoon.

As an umpire such as Farmer departs, a newcomer arrives.

One of my colleagues, Rockford’s Orintho Farris, hasn’t even graduated high school yet, but he’s umpiring

high school games and hopes to someday make it to the same place that Crash Davis enjoyed a cup of joe.

Farris just celebrated his 18th birthday last week and is working primarily JV and younger level games this spring. It’s his first year working on the high school circuit and he’s loved it so far. Farris also officiates football and basketball games for the IHSA. “I don’t like doing it; I love doing it,” he said. “I’m already certified in high school football, basketball and baseball and I’d like to go to MLB camp and try to make it full-time if possible.”

“Love of the game” is overused. It’s also Kevin Costner’s swing and a miss as far as baseball movies go, but that’s a whole other argument. Likewise, I guess when it comes to baseball, The Beatles’ “All You Need is Love” also gets caught looking at strike three.

I suppose that despite your love of something, including baseball, sometimes you just need to get away from it for a while. Ultimately, it’s probably healthier that way.

For Dan, he sounds happy to be away from the game, at least for now.

For me, I believe I just needed a couple of days to re-energize. For Orintho, it sounds as if his enthusiasm and energy is something that Mountain Dew would enjoy bottling, marketing and selling.

But didn’t we all feel that way when we were 18?

BATAVIA BASEBALL

By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com

What was the (April 22) game against Neuqua Valley that went into eight rounds of penalty kicks like?

For us, any time we play against big schools like that, it’s great exposure for us. That game was pretty nerve-wracking because we fought so hard as a group throughout the whole thing. We had tired legs at the end, but we just kept fighting. We got it to penalty kicks, and overall it was just really fun and exciting.

You were one to make a penalty kick. What was your mindset before and during a penalty kick?

I’ve actually had a pretty rough background with PKs. I knew I had to step up and make one for my team, though. I’m pretty confident in myself and I just stepped up, looked at the opposite corner and made it.

To start the season 10-1-1 is no small task.

What’s been so key for this group?

Overall, I think we just work really hard as a group. Some of these girls have been playing four years here and have worked themselves into a starting spot. I come from a top club team, they are a top team, and I think we just play really well together as a team. It’s a lot of hard work and teamwork. It’s a good group of girls that push each other to the limits each day.

What club team do you play for?

Naperville Soccer Association. I have played with (St. Charles East

CHIT-CHAT KYLEIGH DOMINGUEZ Geneva girls soccer sophomore) Chantel Carranza for a number of years there.

How much stress do you guys at Geneva put on beating the Tri-Cities schools?

I don’t know if we necessarily stress it, but after seeing the way we played against those two schools at the Naperville North Invitational, we know we can play with and beat anyone. It’s definitely tough playing against quality opponents like them, but we just have to keep pushing through and find ways to win.

What’s it like to be on the same team with your sister, freshman Jenna Dominguez?

It’s our first year ever playing on the same team, so it’s good to know I have someone who I immediately knew. We have watched each other play and know each other’s strengths on the field. It’s fun and great exposure for her.

Any significance to wearing the No. 23?

Not really. I thought it looked cool and I had never worn it before. I said, “Why not?”

Why did you choose Cincinnati?

It’s like my home, honestly. It’s so diverse, and I just love everyone there.

The coaches are basically like my second parents and we have just connected unlike anywhere else I went. I felt like I belonged there.

Who is the biggest role model in your life and why?

I would have to say my dad. He’s always been there from the start and has always been pushing me to the limit.

He’s always on me to do better, always at my games and is just always there for me with anything. I don’t think he’s ever missed one of my games. It’s hard to put into words, but he’s like my best friend. I always try to make him proud any time I’m out there.

BATAVIA – Matt Holm bleeds Batavia.

After playing sports as a Bulldog and graduating in 1987, Holm has spent the past 24 years as head coach of the Batavia baseball team.

That long run is coming to an end. Holm told his team before the season began that he will retire after the 2016 campaign.

“If there was one word to describe coach Matt Holm Holm, it’s ‘passion,’’’ senior outfielder Kyle Niemiec said.

“Being around him so much, he’s just a man that changes your life. There’s a different energy when he’s in the room. Everyone has the utmost respect for coach Holm. He’s been here for so long and baseball is his love. He has always told us that.”

Niemiec has been around Holm on more than just the baseball diamond.

Holm also is the Batavia football team’s longtime defensive coordinator.

Although Niemiec was a quarterback and did not work exclusively with Holm during football season, the relationship the two have built during Niemiec’s time at Batavia was hard for the senior to put into words.

“He’s really become a father figure in my life,” Niemiec said. “He’s one of the people in our school system and of all the coaches that I could go to with any problem. I’ve told him that. I appreciate everything he’s done for me and I want to thank him because him and my father have made me the person I am today. Through all of the life lessons and his personality, it’s made me into a better person and man having been around him for four years.”

That’s one of the biggest takeaways from all of Holm’s former players and even from opposing coaches.

One former player, 2008 Batavia graduate Alex Beckmann, is an assistant coach, and Holm had one request before talking to anyone about leaving. “‘Beck’ is going to take over,” Holm said after a game against St. Charles East this season. “I wanted to make sure of that before anything. I know the kind of guy Alex is and I know the program will be in good hands.”

Part of this season has revolved around the coaching transition, al-

though Holm, who guided Batavia to a Class AA state tournament berth in 2004, has never been one to defer any of the attention from his players.

Holm, 47, is usually the third-base coach for the Bulldogs. Beckmann became third-base coach this season, one of the examples of allowing Beckmann to continue to learn under someone he looks up to quite a bit.

“He’s a great guy to learn from with all of the experience he has,” Beckmann said. “I’ve known Matt for a long, long time and it really means the world for me that he has confidence to put a program he built in my hands.

“He really shows you that moniker of a Battlin’ Bulldog all the time. He’s a tough, hard-nosed guy, but something that is so important to him is making sure his players become better men. I think that’s something I’ll take away most from him and what most of his players remember about him.”

Kaneland coach Brian Aversa has had the luxury of playing and coaching against Holm. Aversa, a 1997 Geneva graduate, played for the Vikings during Holm’s tenure and has recently coached in nonconference matchups between the Knights and the Bulldogs after the schools were once league foes.

Both Aversa and East coach Len Asquini had nothing but good things to say about Holm, agreeing it will be sad to see Holm go at the end of the season.

“You don’t like to lose guys that make the game of baseball fun. That’s Matt,” Asquini said.

“It’s all about hard work with Matt, and he’s definitely someone I look up to as a coach because of that,” Aversa said. “Nothing is given to the players.

He’s passionate about the game, and whether his kids are the most talented or not, he’s going to get everything out of every group he coaches.”

With three children – the youngest will head to Illinois State University in the fall – Holm was asked what his plans are now or the motivation for retirement other than the amount of time he’s spent at Batavia. A smile cracked through his ever-noticeable, lengthy beard before his answer.

“I’ve got plans,” said Holm, who added he prefers to address his career more in-depth at season’s end.

While he may “plan” to retire from coaching, many agree it will be hard for Holm to stay away from a place where he’s lived and breathed sports for 24 years.

Matt Holm leaving legacy at Batavia

Geneva senior forward Kyleigh Dominguez did not play high school girls soccer during her first three years at Geneva. Instead, she concentrated on playing for her club team year-round, which allowed her more exposure to college coaches.

With a commitment to the University of Cincinnati in place, Dominguez decided to go out for the Vikings’ team this spring. Coach Megan Owens is glad she did.

Dominguez and the Vikings entered the week of April 25 with a 10-1-1 record after winning both of their group play matches at the Naperville North invitational.

In the latest edition of the Weekly Chit-chat, Kane County Chronicle sports reporter Chris Casey caught up with Dominguez to talk about the season and more. An edited transcript follows:

ZEKE BUCK

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE

Geneva Senior | Boys Track Why Buck was selected: Competing at Kaneland’s Peterson Prep invitational April 23, Buck won the pole vault by clearing 14 feet, 1 inch before taking part in the Vikings’ victorious 4x200-meter relay. Buck teamed with Donny Friedel, Justin Taormina and Ryan Skibinski to win the event in 1:29.76.

Geneva senior boys track and field athlete Zeke Buck excelled at Kaneland’s Peterson Prep invite April 23, winning the pole vault while completing the lead leg of the Vikings’ victorious 4x200-meter relay. Buck, the Kane County Chronicle-St. Charles Bank & Trust Athlete of the Week, spoke with Kane County Chronicle Sports Editor Kevin Druley about his feats. Here’s an edited transcript: You had a pretty solid day at Peterson. Where to begin?

I started pole vaulting pretty low, 12-7.

And it was close by the time I got up to 14-1, cleared 14-1. … The [4x200] was great because we put our team together from last year. We had these four guys

together all last year, and it was our first time together running this year. So it was good all the way around.

Was that a personal record for the vault?

Yeah, I PRed by an inch. A 1-inch PR. I know you condition yourself to do it, but is it second nature to be so busy at a meet with these events?

Oh, yeah. I have four events almost every week. My hamstring is pretty tight right now, so I’m not there this week … but other than that, all last year I was in the 400, [4x400], 200 and pole vault every meet. So you’re just used to it.

GENEVA – The Kane County Cougars are among the more than 50 minor league baseball teams that teamed up with major league umpires to participate in the eighth annual online auction in support of UMPS CARE Charities.

The auction opened April 22 and runs through 9 p.m. May 2.

Teams donated suites, luxury boxes, skyboxes, ticket packages and unique fan experiences to the auction, which supports various youth programs for children in need. For a complete list of available auction items and to bid, visit www.mlb.com/UmpsCare.

“The online auction is one of the biggest fundraising initiatives for UMPS CARE charities and really drives our efforts to help out so many children in need,” former MLB umpire and UMPS Care Charities board President Gary Darling said in a

statement. “We can’t do what we do without so much outside support, and the generosity and help of the front offices of each of these teams means a great deal to us. We are extremely grateful to each of the participating MiLB teams for their donations and support.”

On the field, the Cougars entered the week of April 25 with a 10-7 record after closing a 3-4 homestand with a 3-1 loss to Quad Cities on April 24.

The club, in its second season of a two-year, Class A player-development contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks, was set to take a seven-game road trip to Dayton (Ohio) and Bowling Green (Ky.) this week.

A six-game homestand against Lake County (Ohio) and Fort Wayne (Ind.) is slated for May 2 to May 7. The Captains and TinCaps are Midwest League affiliates of the Cleveland Indians and San Diego Padres, respectively.

The Kane County Cougars, the Class A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks, opened their 26th season of Midwest League baseball in Geneva this month. The team is set to host Lake County (Ohio) and Fort Wayne (Ind.) in a six-game homestand beginning May 2.

‘A PASSION FOR THE ARTS’

Sculptor reflects on career after being inducted into Fox Valley Arts Hall of Fame

By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com

ST. CHARLES – It seems just like yesterday that Guy J. Bellaver took his first art classes.

When he stumbled upon the art of sculpting, his passion for it took him to heights that even he couldn’t even have imagined.

Forty years later, Bellaver, a St. Charles resident, was a member of the eighth class to be inducted into the Fox Valley Arts Hall of Fame on April 14.

His works include several mediums – including stone, wood and metal.

There are well over 100 projects in his portfolio.

Due to that portfolio and the dedication to his craft, Bellaver was nominated by a peer in his field, Stu Ainsworth, and became one of the six recent inductees – along with Philip Burnham, Joseph Hernandez, Dr. Margaret Hillis, Sandro Miller and Roy J. Solfisburg III – into the Fox Valley Arts Hall of Fame during a ceremony held at Villa Olivia in Bartlett.

The mission of the Fox Valley Arts Hall of Fame organization is to recognize artists who have spent at least 20 years in their profession and have received national or international recognition. Artists selected have an association with the Fox Valley by birth, education, residence or service.

Bellaver, who has lived in St. Charles for the last 31 years, caught up with Kane County Chronicle reporter Chris Casey to talk about the recognition and a look back at those 40 years.

Chris Casey: What does it mean to you to be inducted into the Fox Valley Arts Hall of Fame?

Guy J. Bellaver: Awards are always

very nice and appreciated, but it’s always nice to be accepted by your peer group. I think that’s the most important and exciting thing for me.

There were artists in my profession who thought that I was worthy of being inducted, and I’d have to say that is the part that means the most to me. That’s always very nice.

Casey: Forty years is a long time. Does it feel like it’s been that long?

Bellaver: It really doesn’t. It seems

like it’s gone by extremely fast, and that’s the down side. It goes by so quick that often you don’t take a step back

and realize it. But this induction has definitely allowed me to do just that.

Casey: Take me back 40 years ago – how did you get started with sculpting?

Bellaver: I worked for Xerox Corp.

in the early 1970s, and one day I saw a rainbow and thought I could paint it. I started taking some painting courses, but sitting in one spot for hours just didn’t mold with the kind of personality I have. I’m a physical person, and I loved the art of sculpting. It’s a physical task. So, once I took classes for that, I left Xerox to pursue a career in sculpting, and – 40 years later – here we are.

crazy because you realize just how many conflicts there were during those wars. I had relatives in the world wars; I knew people in [the Korean War]; and I myself was in the United States Army Casey: I know it’s hard with well over and was in Vietnam and Desert Storm.

100 pieces to choose from, but do any That one was a real eye-opener because stand out as ones you’ll always remember? so many men sacrificed their lives for Bellaver: I’d have to say the Kane our freedoms. That one had personal County Veterans Memorial in Geneties to it, as well. va is a big one. Halfway through that piece, I met so many people, and it’s Casey: What has the Tri-Cities area

meant to your life and career?

Bellaver: The people in this area

have been extremely accepting and supportive. It’s been great because they have been so appreciative of sculpture.

You have places like [The Hemmens Cultural Center] in Elgin and Paramount Theatre in Aurora, so all other arts like that are supported in the area.

The Fox Valley community up and down has a passion for the arts, and it’s been very heart-warming.

Nilesh Patel, who has been selling doughnuts at Charlestowne Mall for over a year, recently reopened the miniature golf attraction in the lower level. He renamed it Kayli’s and Keya’s Playground after his daughters.

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – After more than a year of selling doughnuts at Charlestowne Mall, Nilesh Patel has added to his game.

The Carol Stream resident recently reopened the shuttered miniature golf attraction, renaming it as Kayli’s and Keya’s Playground after his daughters.

Keya is 3, he said, and Kayli will turn 5 in May. Patel – who also operates Keya’s Mini Donuts on the mall’s lower level – considers his work at Charlestowne as his “fun job,” he said, explaining he is employed full-time elsewhere.

Kayli’s and Keya’s Playground is open weekends, but Patel said he would consider a broader schedule if there is demand.

Other than spending money on cosmetic improvements, Patel said he opened the miniature golf area as is but has bigger goals for the place.

In another room adjacent to the golf course, Patel hopes to create a playground featuring moon jumps, larger party areas – he already has three party rooms near the golf – and a golf simulator for adults.

Noting that the space contains a small kitchen, Patel said he wants to offer healthier food and vegetarian options.

As with his doughnut kiosk, Patel said he intends to implement environmentally friendly practices at Kayli’s and Keya’s Playground, such as using biodegradable utensils.

If Patel’s goals come to fruition, the miniature golf venture won’t be the last he pursues at Charlestowne Mall. He aims to open Kayli’s Zero Waste Frozen Shop within six months, he said.

Contact Patel at nilesh@ecokpg.com for information.

Kayli’s and Keya’s Playground is on the lower level of Charlestowne Mall, 3800 E. Main St., St. Charles, near Charlestowne 18.

GENEVA – Local singer-songwriter Ry Petermann will perform a oneman show from 7 to 11 p.m. April 30 at Claddagh Irish Pub, 1702 Commons Drive, Geneva.

There is no cover charge, and the performance is appropriate for all ages.

“The show I’m going to do at Claddagh has a lot of songs I’ve written, mixed in with familiar songs,” Petermann said. “’Mother Nature Calling’ is reacting to the problems we might see with the earth’s climate change.

‘Winding Road’ is more of an acoustic song. ‘Mojo Boom Ditty’ has more of a dance feel.”

Petermann said he sings and plays guitar, harmonica, tambourine, piano, mandolin and banjo at most shows.

“It’s a different type of solo act,” Petermann said. “It does not sound like it’s one person. It’s a unique act.”

Petermann has performed on the St. Charles RiverFest main stage and

BACKSTAGE QUESTIONS WITH ...

“Was Joan Rivers as arrogant as she appears on TV?” – Stephen H., St. Charles

Joan was extremely sweet and a true pro. We shot her last stand-up television special at The Arcada. She came in, was very nice and inquisitive about the theater’s history and immediately took charge. She became involved in everything – the set design, the music, the audience and the script. She was a bit crude at times, but – as she put it – “It’s what they came here for. If they didn’t, then [blank] them!”

Ron Onesti him it was partially because of the, “If you build it, they will come” line in his film “Field of Dreams” that actually made me take on The Arcada, he teared up and thanked me for sharing that his film made a difference in the history of the theater.

“Do you know if that is Bret Michaels’ real hair or is it extensions that he hides “I know you had Kevin Costner at The Arcada. What does he do and what kind of a with that bandana?” – Michelle T., Bloomingdale guy is he?” – Tina B., Carol Stream

Wow! That’s a good question! I have worked with Bret on many occasions, and I have seen him without the bandana. I do know he had an accident a while back that caused a scar he tries to hide with the bandana. His close circle tells me that although he has done many things with his hair, currently those are his blond locks!

“The new singer from the band KANSAS is a local guy from Chicago, I think. Did he actually audition?” – Jimmy W., Chicago

This is such a cool American Dream story. Ronnie Platt, the new lead singer

“Justin Bieber is on tour again, and I don’t understand why? Is he still packing them in?” – Mary Ann J., St. Charles

I’ll be honest, Justin is not on my bucket list. He is a young man with great talent and the opportunity to change lives positively, but chooses to be controversial. Far be it for me to judge, but I don’t get why. However, a couple of years back, a friend of mine asked me if it was possible for me to get his granddaughter to meet him. She was 9 years old with spinal bifida. I didn’t think I could, but I contacted his manager anyway. At 11 p.m. the night before the concert, his manager called me and told me to bring her down. Jus-

tin could not have been nicer to this girl. It was a tearful moment, and – for me – he became a superstar. If this young man can only realize the power he has.

“Really, you had ‘I Dream of Jeannie’ by you? She is my FAVORITE!” – Shelly K., Morton Grove

Barbara Eden announced a speaking tour where she was going to talk about her career as a television and film star. I JUMPED all over this! I even got the opportunity to interview her on stage! She was so sweet, and even carries a replica of the famous bottle used on the television program. Did you know the original bottle was a Jim Beam liquor bottle? She had the most controversial navel in the biz! It was exposed the first two seasons but by season three, it started getting some attention, so NBC said, “Cover it up!” She was also pregnant during season one, requiring the need for more veils and close-ups!

Batavia High School to present ‘Lucky Stiff’ April 28-30

By BEN DRAPER bdraper@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Nothing like a bit of murder to make you smile.

Students and staff at Batavia High School will present “Lucky Stiff” for three performances – each beginning at 7:30 p.m. – April 28 to 30. The musical is directed by BHS alumnus Dominic A. Cattero and will be performed at the Batavia Fine Arts Centre, 1399 W. Wilson St., Batavia.

“It is an absolute fantastic production,” Cattero said. “It has everything – it makes you laugh; it makes you forget life. It is truly a gem of music theater that people might not have known, but they certainly know other works by the same composers: Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty are the people who created ‘Ragtime,’ ‘Seussical the Musical’ and ‘Rocky the Musical.’ It is just a fantastic, fun romp.”

“Lucky Stiff” is being presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International. The story revolves around an unassuming English shoe salesman, Harry Witherspoon, who is forced to take the embalmed body of his recently murdered uncle on a vacation to Monte Carlo. Should he succeed in passing his uncle off as alive, Witherspoon stands to inherit $6 million.

“All he wants is some kind of adventure, and in the show he finally gets that adventure,” said junior Cam Tucker, 17, who plays Witherspoon in the production.

It’s an adventure that has enough twists and turns to keep the audience at the edge of its seat.

“We have a cartoonish concept for the show, and it’s really interesting,” senior Mikkel Knutson, 18, said.

“This show is a farce, so we’re making fun of musicals

while doing a musical, so it’s really fun to do it that way. You have to take it to the absolute next level in order to get that across and make it funny.”

Knutson is part of the ensemble and plays four different parts throughout the show.

“This show is really an ensemble cast for the most part,” Cattero said. “The thing that makes this show special are the little tiny characters that are created by the ensemble. That texture really adds the dimension to it.”

Knutson’s favorite role – out of all of the parts that he plays in the show – is the role of bellhop.

“He’s kind of conniving – all he wants is an extra tip to help pay for his family back home. When he hears there is this big reward for finding this dude, he’s like, ‘I’m on it, man,’” Knutson said.

Senior Meghan Rocha, 18, plays the not-so-nice Rita LaPorte.

“She’s awful. She first had an affair, stole money and shot a man,” said Rocha of her character. “It’s kind of ‘all about Rita,’ and she doesn’t care at all what her brother thinks; she just wants everyone to help her.”

Rocha has enjoyed the rehearsals leading up to the shows.

“I love it. I was not a singer before this, and I sing a lot [in the show], so everyone has been so supportive and so great helping me. Everything has gone as smooth as it can for a high school musical,” she said.

The funny – but macabre – theme is not lost on Tucker.

“I get to do a tango with a dead body, so that’s always fun,” Tucker said.

Tickets for “Lucky Stiff” start at $10 and are available by calling 630-937-8930 or visiting www.bataviafineartscentre.org.

Kevin Costner has a country band called Modern West. He re-united with some college buddies he used to play with at the suggestion of his wife. They play their own songs, written mostly by Kevin. It’s pretty cool because although the songs are not about any particular film he was in, many were written while waiting for his scene on location in a trailer and represent his feelings at that moment. He is a very humble and fun guy, with a dry sense of humor. Soft spoken, he is a regular-guy that loves to just fade into a crowd. When I told

for KANSAS, was a local truck driver and weekend warrior/singer in the ’70s rock cover band ARRA. Steve Walsh from KANSAS retired, and a national search for his replacement ensued.

ARRA had opened for KANSAS a few years back at a festival, so Ronnie sent the band a note reflecting his interest in auditioning. The band remembered him, recalling his great talent and stage presence. A couple of days later, Ronnie flew to meet the band to determine his chemistry. They hired him on the spot, and in just a few days he went from truck driver to international rock star!

How to invite pollinators to your garden Just like resolutions to exercise more and eat better on Jan. 1, I find myself making resolutions to improve my garden come the start of spring. This year is no exception with my promise to make my garden more pollinator friendly. Planting with pollinators in mind is the latest eco-minded trend to hit the gardening scene; essentially, adding plants that help the insects that pollinate flowers – namely bees, butterflies, moths and beetles.

So, why do we now need to help creatures that have been performing these functions for millennia without our help? Basically, because the modern landscape has never looked like this before: vast fields of mono crops with wild flowers and weeds eradicated by herbicides. Combined with heavy pesticide use, serious harm has fallen on the pollinators we rely on for food.

Any grade-schooler knows that – with no bees to pollinate flowers – we have a serious gap in our food web.

Ugh! Another crisis to worry about!

It’s not so bad ... the bright side of this otherwise serious issue is that it is easy and enjoyable to help out pollinators – simply plant flowers. Even better, the cheap, old-fashioned ones are the best choices. These traditional selections

LEARNING TO GROW Jim Stendler such as zinnia, cosmos, foxglove, milkweed, sunflowers and all types of wild flowers provide a rich source of pollen; many hybrids are in fact “junk food” in terms of pollen quality. Seek to have at least three different plants blooming during the growing season, and try to vary the flower shape to appeal to all variety of insects. Creating a garden with these elements can be educational for everyone, as the flowers harmonize with butterflies and even hummingbirds to give the yard a new sense of excitement.

The change in mindset over what to plant in the garden should also come with further scrutiny over what to kill as well. Our first reaction to any blackand-yellow insect is to kill it. The real menacing creatures are yellow jackets, which are aggressive, can sting multiple times and often live in the ground.

Bees are not aggressive and most likely are just on their way to the next flower.

It is easy to identify bees by their fuzzy

If at all possible, leave them – and their habitat alone – as they are unlikely to cause any issues. In general, using fewer non-specific pesticides, chemical and organic, will help the situation as well.

Only use pesticides when you have evidence of the offending pest, not as a pre-emptive measure If you wish to learn more about how to make your backyard welcoming for pollinators, please connect with the

University of Illinois Extension website, http://web.extension.illinois.edu, and search for “pollinator.”

SM-CL0349013

The Albright Theatre Company, 100 N. Island Ave., Batavia, is currently performing “Over the Tavern,” which takes a warm and hilarious look at family, faith and growing up in the 1950s.

In the show, 12-year-old 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, audience

members should prepare themselves for a little fire and brimstone and a lot of laughs.

Remaining performance dates for “Over the Tavern” are April 29 and 30 and May 1, 6 and 7. Performance times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. 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.

Holy cow. My first born graduates from high school next month. Apparently, this is really happening, as I just got word from the high school that we need to pick up the nifty yard sign that will announce the news to all of our neighbors. Wow. “How you feeling about graduating?” I asked Noah.

“I’m not getting nostalgic here,” he said between bites. “I’m just trying to eat my lunch.” Ha! I love this kid. He’s all business.

“But I’M having a moment,” I said, recalling his first day of preschool.

And that time a few days later when I left his macaroni dinosaur on the roof of my car when I picked him up, after buckling him and baby Holly into their car seats. Yeah. Stellar mom moment. First art project, gone with the wind.

When Noah discovered his dino-

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose saur was missing, I narrowly averted a meltdown by suggesting that maybe “Malcolm” had become a REAL dinosaur when he flew off our car.

Yeah. And that maybe he was roaming around town, having awesome adventures. And “Oh, is that him?”

I exclaimed, pointing out the car window as we passed the post office on our way home. Shameless, I know.

But a mom’s gotta do what a mom’s gotta do.

And here we are, lo these many years later, with lord knows how much malarkey and fake-it-’til-youmake-it in between. (You know what

I mean. “Helping” with math homework ring a bell?) It’s amazing the kid isn’t more confused than he is.

Indeed, something to celebrate.

“Time to plan a party!” I announced. “So, who should we invite?

The Clarey’s, your team … .” Noah got on board with the list-making and even volunteered to handle the invitations (on Facebook). Now we’re talking.

“And what about food? What should we serve?” He shrugged. We’ll need paper plates, paper napkins, beverages – “And what time should it be?”

“Nine,” he said. Nine. At night?

“Nine? Wait, but I go to bed at eight,” I said. Well, I can dream. I tend to close for business around eight, so it’s best if I’m off duty by then. “Hang out as late as you like, but maybe we could get started a little earlier?”

He shrugged again. “I don’t care.”

Good. Earlier it is.

“And what about entertainment?”

I could play the piano. No, that would be bad.

“Make sure you book Aerosmith,” he said, as he grinned and headed out the back door. Sure thing, kid. I’ll get right on it, right after I rob a bank.

Maybe we could play the macaroni dinosaur game?

“Look who’s here!” I’ll say. “Is that Aerosmith? No way! And that guy with the big lips? Quick! Steven Tyler! Behind the garage!” Yeah, it’ll be like old times. It could work. Party planning done. Boom.

18 Best practices reversal not uncommon Dear Readers: In a recent column, I

answered a reader’s question about why doctors seem to change their minds about the best treatments for medical problems.

I said that we doctors keep changing our minds because we’re human. We sometimes believe things that seem reasonable and for which there is some evidence.

But then we find out, as more and better research is done, that we were wrong.

I gave the example of a treatment that was widely touted in the 1960s for bleeding ulcers called gastric freezing. With further and better research, the treatment proved worthless.

In my professional lifetime, the standards for claiming that a treatment is effective have become higher. I can’t think of an example like gastric freezing in the past 30 years. Yet sometimes we are misled by the first evidence of a treatment’s benefits.

The early returns don’t always accurately predict the final outcome.

In an article in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings, a research team reported on the decade from 2001-2010. They noted several reversals of what were believed to be current best practices. Here are some examples: • Antibiotic treatment of diabetic women with bacteria in their bladder; • Use of bed covers to reduce exposure to allergens in adults with asthma; • Antiviral treatment of vestibular neuritis, an inflammation of the nerve that plays a key role in balance and hearing; • Lowering body temperature during surgery for brain aneurysms; • Placement of stents in narrowed heart arteries, in people with stable symptoms; • Treating intensively with blood-sugar-lowering medicines for Type 2 diabetes; • Treatment with a medicine called aprotinin during cardiac surgery; • Treatment with anti-inflammatory

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff drugs called COX2-inhibitors (such as Vioxx), particularly in patients with heart disease or risk factors for heart disease; • Placement of tubes through the eardrum (tympanostomy tubes) in children with recurrent ear infections; • Arthroscopic surgery for osteoarthritis of the knee; • Surgery called vertebroplasty for spine bone (vertebral) fractures.

In all of these cases, a reasonable theory had led to relatively small or short research studies that seemed to support the theory.

However, larger and longer studies concluded that the treatment was of no value.

In other words, many doctors decide on treatments knowing that the evidence is not all in. We use our judgment to decide what is best, in the face of what we know is incomplete evidence. For example, I never prescribed Vioxx; I was worried about its side effects. And I did prescribe antibiotics to treat many ulcers for years before that practice was shown to be correct. I got those right.

But I prescribed several vitamin and mineral supplements (and took them myself) for years before they were shown to have no value. I got those wrong.

Don’t misunderstand: The great majority of treatments we doctors prescribe are of proven value. But we don’t always get it right at first, and so we change our practice.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and really starting to get this thing for my older sister’s boyfriend. Both of them are 17. My sister and her boyfriend have been dating for about three months and he has been spending a lot of time at our house. Sometimes when my sister is on the telephone to one of her girlfriends (sometimes for almost an hour) Nick and I chat about many things, like school, sports, music and even religion and the world problems. He is not only cute, but he is really intelligent and I enjoy our discussions.

Yesterday at school I saw him in the hall between classes and he smiled and said, “Hi, good looking!” This caught me by surprise, and I just said “Hi” and went on to my class. Now, I’m wondering if my sister takes him for granted and that maybe he’s starting to show interest in me. She’s a year older than I am and maybe just slightly better looking.

Do you think that he might be thinking of asking me out? And, if he does, should I accept the invitation? I’m thinking that if my sister is talking with friends and not paying any attention to Nick, then why can’t I have him if she isn’t that interested? What do you think? – Nameless, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace record called, “Sisters.” Part of the lyrics went this way...”Lord, help the mister who comes between me and my sister, and Lord, help the sister who comes between me and my man.” ’Nuff said!

Dr. Wallace: A good friend’s cousin lives in Nova Scotia, Canada, and he wanted a pen pal living in California. My friend asked if I would enjoy being his pen pal and I said yes. I thought corresponding with a guy my age (we are both 16) would be exciting, and it is. Greg and I have been writing for nearly six months. We have exchanged photographs and small Christmas gifts.

I look forward to his letters and hearing about his family, school, and the city of Halifax where he lives. We also have shared about what we both do when we are with our friends. There is no romance involved and his girlfriend is aware of our pen pal letters. This pen pal experience has been fun and shouldn’t cause any problem, but it has, and the problem is my mother.

For the past month she has been opening and reading my letters from Greg. When I came

home from school yesterday she announced, “You got a letter from that guy in Canada and he said that he would like to see you in person and would like to invite you to Canada and that you could stay at his girl cousin’s house.”

This really startled me and I told her she had no right to open and read my personal mail and that I wanted her to stop immediately or I’d have him write to me at my friend’s house. Then my mother blew her cool and we had a big fight with both of us yelling at each other.

My mom insisted that she has the right to open and read my mail whenever she wants. I think she should not open my personal letters, although I’ll let her read them after I’ve read them first. My mom and I have kissed and made up, but we still disagree. We’d like to hear what you think about this.

Only when the trust is violated should parents snoop! Parents should possess the ability to “know what’s happening” with their teens without having graduated from the F.B.I. Academy. It’s called “communication.”

am very excited to be proposing soon to the man I want to spend my life with. My family is excited for me – with one exception.

My younger sister, whom I want to be my best woman, says she doesn’t know if she will be able to participate in our wedding because she’s having trouble reconciling that her faith tells her same-sex marriage is a sin. I have explained that it will be a civil ceremony with a judge instead of a religious figure and she says that this “helps,” but she still doesn’t know if she can be part of it.

I love my sister and I know that if she didn’t love me in return, she wouldn’t be struggling with this; she just wouldn’t participate. She’s racking her brain and her Bible trying to find a way to square her faith with her love for me and my soon-tobe fiance.

Despite this, I can’t help feeling hurt that she views my relationship as a sin she can’t be part of. If she decides she can’t stand with me in my wedding, I don’t know what to do. If she can’t support my marriage, should I ask her to not come to the ceremony? – Wedding Woes Dear Wedding Woes: I don’t think you should be retaliatory and tell your sister to stay away if she feels her faith doesn’t permit her to be a member of your wedding party. If that’s the case, she may decide on her own not to attend.

What you should do – right now – is decide whom else you would like to stand up with you on this important occasion.

Choose someone who has no question about whether you are doing the right thing.

I hope your special day will be a happy one and that you will allow no one to blemish it.

Dear Abby: I’ve been on and off again with this boy for about a year now, and he is socially awkward whereas I am not. He is extremely funny and loyal.

I’m 13 and I think he wants to move to the next level of our relationship, and I’m not ready for that. He talks a lot of crap about my friends, too. I feel like I need a break from him. How do I let him know how I feel without sounding rude? – Teen in
