In other happenings, St. Charles reporter Ashley Sloboda and I have been busy lately with a side project.

We are painting an Adirondack chair as part of the Downtown St. Charles Partnership’s Chair-ity program.

Through the program, the Downtown St. Charles Partnership asks community members and groups

EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK Kathy Balcazar to use their imaginations to create works of art with Adirondack chairs as their canvas.

“Participants are encouraged to create imaginative and unique works of art appropriate for public display,” stated information about the event.

“Any individual/resident, group or business can participate, with the option of donating the chair for auction at the conclusion of the event.”

The chair that Ashley and I are painting was bought from the Ace Hardware at 2750 E. Main St. in St. Charles (available for a discounted rate of $39.99).

L.A. Tan opens in Sugar Grove

By DEBBIE BEHRENDS editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – Looking for a healthy bronze glow without the aging effects of hours in the sun?

The newest location of L.A. Tan in Sugar Grove might just be the answer.

“We opened a few weeks ago, and new clients are finding us every day,” L.A. Tan’s Ken Patel said. “The community has been wonderful, very receptive. And we look forward to being a part of the community and working with Sugar Grove.”

Located in the Jewel-Osco shopping center at 495 N. Route 47 in Sugar Grove, the village’s L.A. Tan location seems to be a convenient one. However, because the location is company owned, clients who buy packages or memberships have access to other locations – more than 90 in Illinois alone.

According to the company’s website, www.latan.com, stores can be found in Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, Washington and Florida.

“Convenience is a big benefit for our clients,” Patel said. “You might join us here and use a location after work in Chicago, for example.

Six different levels of equipment are available locally, but Patel is most excited about the company’s Sun Angel

If you go n WHAT: Sugar Grove L.A. Tan n WHERE: 495 N. Route 47, Sugar Grove n HOURS: 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday

Along with tanning beds, L.A. Tan offers full airbrushing and two different types of spray booths. Patel said the company uses premium sunless solutions that are organic, paraben-free and hypoallergenic.

With memberships, packages and daily specials to fit any budget, Patel said L.A. Tan is a great way to feel good anytime, and even better for special occasions – graduation, a wedding, vacation preparation and more.

The Sugar Grove L.A. Tan is open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekends.

For more information about the store, or tanning in general, visit www. latan.com or call 630-466-4416.

We came up with a design plan to paint the chair, and then we picked up paint and some other supplies.

Our hope had been that we would be able to paint most of the chair pieces outside before assembling the chair; however, the weekday weather hasn’t been very cooperative, so we’ve been painting the pieces in my office.

There is still time for others to participate. The deadline for Chair-ity applications is May 13.

Modest Coffee to become Sugar Grove library vendor Company eyes opening date of June 1 for new location

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – Coffee roasting began as a hobby for Marcus Contaldo six years ago. Now, it’s a labor of love, and his coffee will be served at Modest Coffee at the Book Nook Café, located in the Sugar Grove Public Library.

Contaldo’s Modest Coffee, which is based out of West Chicago, hopes to be up and running in the library as early as June 1. It will replace Java Plus, which moved out at the end of March.

Contaldo’s wife, Jenni, will operate the facility.

“I’m really excited about it,” she said. “I’ve always done customer service type jobs, and I love connecting with people.”

Modest Coffee’s offerings should appeal to connoisseurs and will include a variety of roasts, as well as nitro-infused cold coffee and more.

“The nitro-infused brew is similar to a stout beer,” Jenni said. “It’s really a neat process, and the brew is sweeter and creamier.”

As for food, Jenni said that she’ll probably start with a smaller menu, but it will grow from there. As an advocate of organic foods, her menu will feature predominantly organic ingredients.

“I’ll be bringing my personal lifestyle beliefs about eating healthy to vision in the café,” she said. “I’ll try to make whatever I can homemade.”

She hopes to offer salads, sandwiches, deli and hummus boxes, yogurt parfaits, fruits, veggies, various snacks, and baked goods.

Those who miss Java Plus’ gelato will be happy to know that Modest Coffee hopes to offer ice cream as well.

“We will be using organics as much as possible while keeping prices

affordable,” Jenni said.

This will be the first café for Modest Coffee, which also offers wholesale items and single-bag orders and subscriptions. Every bag of its coffee is roasted to order and includes free ground shipping. Those looking to give the coffee a try before the cafe opens in Sugar Grove, can visit www.modest. coffee.

Community members also can pick up a bottle of Modest Coffee’s bottled cold brew from Prisco’s Family Market in Aurora.

“Opening a café is something we’ve been thinking about for a while,” Jenni said. “We had been looking at some spaces in the area and saw the Facebook post about the opening at the library. I thought that it would be a great fit for us, and we ended up calling.”

She recognizes the limitations the business will face because of the structure of the library’s hours, including being closed on Fridays. She said such constraints could hurt some businesses, but she has other revenue streams to accommodate the library policies.

“Since we have a nice online and wholesale business already, this will be a nice extension and won’t be our full and only 100 percent focus,” she said. “If we were getting our income solely from the coffee shop, then we would want to have longer hours and live music, but since we have the other revenue – and it’s already established – we can still do something like this, a nice neighborhood place where we’re a part of the library.”

In addition to food and drink, Jenni said Modest Coffee will feature a boutique with a variety of small, unique gifts.

“I spoke to a friend who is a ceramic maker and she’s going to make some mugs for the shop,” Jenni said. “I envision a boutique with some gifts, and we’ll support the artist community with artwork for sale on the walls and great décor. I think it’s going to be really cool.”

“Opening a café is something we’ve been thinking about for a while.

We had been looking at some spaces in the area and saw the Facebook post about the opening at the library. I thought that it would be a great fit for us, and we ended up calling.”

Nine years in the making Kaneville community celebrates anniversary with Hill’s Country Store

By SUSAN O’NEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com KANEVILLE – Ted Phelps, 83, stopped by Hill’s Country Store on April 27 to help celebrate the store’s ninth anniversary under Pat Hill’s ownership. Phelps, who now lives on Kedeka Road in Sugar Grove, said he grew up on a farm outside of Kaneville.

During the celebration, Phelps perused the old photos on the walls of the store and pointed out his picture in a photo of people who were on hand to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Kaneville Township. Also in the picture was his cousin, Lynette Werdin, a longtime matriarch in Kaneville’s history.

Phelps said that he, his mom and two siblings moved to his grandfather’s farm when his dad passed away.

Werdin and her family lived on the other part of the property.

Although Phelps hasn’t lived in Kaneville for many years, he still comes out for Hill’s grill-out events on Tuesdays and Fridays, when she cooks hamburgers, steak and pork chop sandwiches in the store’s patio area. People come from all around to meet others while enjoying lunch on the provided picnic tables.

“She’s a wonderful person,” Phelps said of Hill. “She would do anything for you.”

Hill bought the store in 2007 from Mary Nicely after working there for many years, when the store was known

Julie Walker For Shaw Media

as Nicely’s Dairy Dream and Grocery.

Although Hill changed the name to Hill’s Country Store, one thing she would never change is the store’s signature color: purple. Purple is Nicely’s favorite color, and Hill has embraced it as well.

Hill has added other food items to the store’s menu, including slushies; additional ice cream flavors; daily hot lunch specials such as pulled pork sandwiches, sloppy joes and pizza; and a taco bar on Thursdays. Customers also will find antiques and gift items

for sale, artifacts and souvenirs from the Kaneville Historical Society, and homemade goods from her daughter via Alexa’s Sweets and Treats business.

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. Alexa Hill said there was a steady stream of customers and well-wishers who visited the store that day.

In addition to the close-knit community of Kaneville, Pat Hill also cherish-

es the close relationships she has with her own family. She is the youngest of eight girls and one boy, having grown up in West Chicago before moving out to Kaneville. Hill’s sister, Donna Hulett of Rockford, was on hand for the celebration with her granddaughter Kylie.

Both Hulett and Kylie were decked out in purple in honor of the store’s décor.

By STEFANIE FRAZIER editorial@kcchronicle.com The Kaneland School Board on April 25 voted 7-0 to withdraw from the National School Lunch Program starting next school year and to increase hot lunch prices at the high school – the votes came on the heels of a report that states some district students are not buying into eating healthy food options through the NLSP. In addition, students will pay 10 cents more for milk, at a cost of 40 cents.

Cassie Blickem, a Northern Illinois University intern under Kaneland Associate Superintendent Dr. Julie-Ann Fuchs, spoke to the school board regarding the report, which showed the

most popular items sold between Sept.

1, 2015, and March 14, 2016. The top food sold among high school and middle school students was chips. KHS sold 28,658 bags of chips, while HMS sold 20,611.

The report also showed that hot lunch came in fifth place out of six options at KHS for food preference.

Middle school students seemed to buy a healthy hot lunch more often as the option ranked second out of six food preferences.

District Food Service Director Gigi Gochee-Statler explained the discrepancy, stating middle school students are like “sponges.”

“They want everything,” Statler said.

Statler suggested the district continue to make NLSP available for HMS

students in order to “show them how they should be eating at home.”

Meanwhile, prepackaged snacks, cookies and pizza were the second-, third- and fourth-most preferred food options among KHS students. Peanut butter and jelly was their least-preferred food option.

The small parfait, novelty, fruit rollup and peanut butter and jelly items were the bottom four food options preferred by HMS students.

Board Trustee Pedro Rivas asked Statler whether so many chips were sold because students don’t have much time to eat. Statler said chips were simply the option of choice.

She also mentioned that students have asked why they can’t have the pizza or chicken patty options that the

school previously offered.

One food option idea for next year’s hot lunch program is pizza, which would go from a whole grain crust with reduced fat cheese to wheat crust with low-fat cheese. Other projected items include BLT salad, a grilled Philly steak sandwich, regular and sweet fries, corn dog, potato chowder, tomato soup, grilled cheese, bagels, biscuits, brownies, cheesecake cups, chocolate chip cookies and pudding parfaits.

All food is to be baked or grilled, and not all items will be offered daily, according to the report. However, a salad and sandwich bar will be available on a daily basis.

“I’m not the food police,” Statler said. “[Healthy eating] has to be something that starts at home.”

Ospreys exquisitely adapted for capturing prey Wow, how lucky are we?

Over the past several years, it’s gotten increasingly easier to witness one of nature’s most breathtaking spectacles: the majestic sight of bald eagles soaring overhead. Improved water quality in the Fox River, as well as other habitat-saving measures, have given these magnificent creatures exactly what they need: tall trees for nests and roosts; the space they need to fly free; and, of course, fresh fish (along with occasional waterfowl and carrion) to eat.

But while I don’t want to discourage anyone from admiring a bald eagle – they are, after all, our nation’s symbol – there’s another bird that I feel deserves at least as much respect as eagles. It, too, lives right here in the Fox Valley. In fact, it’s sometimes even mistaken for an eagle.

Folks, meet the osprey, Pandion haliaetus.

Like eagles, ospreys are large birds that inhabit areas along waterways.

But, unlike eagles, which vary their diet based on availability of prey, and even have been observed snacking on roadkill, osprey feed almost exclusively on fish.

And why wouldn’t they? Their

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto bodies are exquisitely adapted for capturing wet, slippery prey. Their keen eyesight allows them to spot fish in the water. Their lightweight bodies (ospreys weigh in at 2 1/2 to 4 1/2 pounds, as much as 10 pounds less than a bald eagle) allow them to hover and dive, while oil-preened feathers resist getting waterlogged. In the blink of an eye, literally, their talons reflexively snap closed as they make contact with a fish, and small spikes on the bottoms of their feet ensure prey doesn’t slip away once caught.

So equipped, osprey claim one of the highest hunting success rates among birds of prey. Some studies have recorded figures as high as 90 percent. Anyone who’s ever gone fishing can appreciate that impressive tally. Imagine casting 10 times and catching nine fish. (Even our most common birds of prey, the red-tailed hawks and great-horned owls, typically average a 60 percent prey-capture rate. And that’s for adults. Young

Improved water quality and other local conservation efforts mean more people might be lucky enough to spot an osprey.

birds, still refining their skills, sometimes take 10 or more tries to catch one meal.)

Ospreys typically nest farther north of us and so are considered en-

dangered in Illinois. However, a stateled reintroduction program combined with local conservation efforts are working to make the osprey a more common sight. A few years ago, a pair

IS YOUR CENTRAL VISION BLURRY OR CROOKED?

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.

old when it met its fate.

Because ospreys tend to remain loyal to their natal nesting area, we’re guessing this bird was migrating through our area. Perhaps it was attracted to the retention ponds that dot the area along Peck and Campton Hills roads. Maybe it caught something, but couldn’t lift itself high enough to clear traffic. Its injuries are consistent with what we see with vehicle strikes.

At any rate, the bird may not have died in vain. Because of ospreys’ endangered status in Illinois, we can’t legally keep the bird in our possession.

But the Illinois Department of Natural Resources can. Officials there are hoping to find the funds to have the bird taxidermied and placed on display at Conservation World, the agency’s exhibit area at the Illinois State Fair.

Fingers crossed, the funds will materialize in time and Osprey No. 0788-56085 can be put on display. In the coming years, instead of just a fortunate few, millions of people will get to see and learn about this spectacular species. How lucky they’ll be!

blue herons and great egrets waded in the shallows along the shoreline.

This action and more occurred against the greenish golden backdrop of late summer along the Fox. Remarking on the beauty that surrounded us, my friend and colleague Jeanette Joy said, “Gee, about the only thing that could make this any better would be to see an osprey.”

As if on cue, one appeared overhead. True to form, it was flying with a fish clasped in its talons. But rather than a native gamefish, this bird had gone for something a bit flashier: a bright orange goldfish. Oy! One other place to see an osprey, for a limited time only, is Hickory Knolls. We have one in our freezer.

A series of circumstances we can only imagine recently led to an adult osprey turning up dead on a sidewalk at James O. Breen Community Park.

Our horticulture and turf crews spotted it, and turf supervisor Bill Thomas brought it up to the nature center. He pointed out that it had a broken wing.

Head trauma, too, was noted.

Lisa O’Brien, our program coordinator, called in the band number, and last week we received a certificate from the U.S. Geological Service providing additional information.

The bird was banded on July 13, 2006, at Rice Lake in Minnesota. At that time, it was too young to fly, so we can figure that the bird was about 10 years

was spotted nesting near James Pate Phillip State Park, located on Stearns Road in Bartlett, and Fermilab now has three nests occupied by breeding pairs.

If you’d like to spot an osprey for yourself, Fermi is a good bet, but don’t rule out the Fox River. The birds can sometimes be seen flying along the waterway, especially now and in fall as they migrate to and from breeding grounds. Look for a large but narrow-bodied bird with light underparts and a white head sporting a conspicuous “bandit mask” across the eyes. Their outstretched wings are distinctive, too, with a bend or crook midway that gives the birds a vaguely M-shaped form; eagles, by contrast, are heavier bodied, with dark underparts and straight wings.

One of my favorite osprey memories – besides, as a kid, watching them from the porch of the family cabin in Michigan’s U.P. – took place a few years ago during a program called Birding by Boat. Several dozen nature-lovers had joined us that warm September afternoon, and – as we chugged upstream aboard the Fox River Queen paddlewheel riverboat – none of us could quite believe how perfect the day had become. Turtles were basking on rocks and logs; a kingfisher cackled at us from the inlet near Ferson Creek Fen. A green darner dragonfly had landed on a railing and politely let us crowd around it, while great

Around the campfire After many years photographing baseball games, I saw something new the other day. Between innings, members of the Geneva baseball team each grabbed their own bats and ran to the third base line near left field. The players situated their bats as if they were logs in a campfire and circled the “fire” with their legs crossed and seated on the ground. Head coach Matt Hahn said the team recently had visited Vanderbilt University, and this was one of their team’s rituals during a game. “Whatever keeps ’em busy,” Hahn said.

MAPLE PARK – First Street Bank of Maple Park opened in 1903 on Main Street in the village. The bank is now long gone, but its building has housed several restaurants and owners the past 25 years.

T o n y a n d D o n n a H a rrington bought the building in June 2011 after its previous owners put it up for sale. The Harringtons took the entire summer that year to remodel the building before reopening it to the public as Bootlegger’s Bar, Grill & Pizza.

“When we first opened, we had the bar operational and only served pizza,” Donna said. “Several months later we created a full menu and – since then – have served homemade soups, sandwiches, steak, tacos, pizza, fish and more.”

With its daily specials, Bootlegger’s brings in plenty of regulars from the community.

“I post our daily specials on our Facebook page for everyone to see,” Donna said.

Although both Tony and Donna had worked in restaurants before, neither of them had ownership experience.

“Tony had to convince me to buy the place,” Donna said.

“He was tired of working for other people and wanted to do something on his own and for our community.”

Bootlegger’s is a family-friendly restaurant with the bar situated on the opposite side of the building so that it is separate from the dining room.

“Tony wanted this to be like a Wisconsin tavern where people bring their families to eat, drink and be social,” Donna said.

Bootlegger’s also hosts birthday parties, fundraisers and wedding receptions, as well as the Maple Park Family Fund’s annual Christmas raffle.

Last year, the Harringtons turned the building’s drive-thru space into a beer garden, adding an additional 40 seats to the restaurant.

“It’s a great outdoor area during the nice weather,” Donna said.

Rose Cowan of Hinkley, and Alice Osterman and Margie Groot of Sugar Grove put together packets for the Companions Journeying Together Project. On April 6, a group of women gathered at St. Katharine Drexel to put together packets for female prisoners. It is a part of Companions Journeying Together. St. Katharine Drexel parishioners were asked to donate stationery and the women made packets for the prisoners, in time for Mother’s Day, encouraging the prisoners to write to their loved ones.

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com Hinckley resident Rose Cowan, a new parishioner at St. Katharine Drexel Catholic Church in Sugar Grove, was looking to do something meaningful for others.

She got that chance when Companions Journeying Together organized a gathering at the church to put together prison packets that will be sent to incarcerated women.

Companions Journeying Together provides programs that foster positive communication and help build healthy relationships for primarily incarcerated women – as well as some men – and their families. Once such program is its Mother’s Day Project.

After learning that many incarcerated women only had yellow-lined paper and basic white envelopes to write to their mothers and children, Companions Journeying Together began a program of collecting prettier, more professional cards and stationery, packaging it and sending it to juveniles, women and some men in jail and prisons in Illinois.

Cowan was part of the group of a dozen women who met at St. Katharine Drexel in early April to put together the packets. The cards and stationery were collected after the generous con-

tributions of the church’s parishioners.

“We spent a few hours doing it in the afternoon,” Cowan said. “We went through the cards and determined which ones were appropriate and packaged them. It kind of surprised me that there is such a need, but someone said there was something like 2,700 women incarcerated in Illinois, which is an amazing number.”

OBITUARIES ETHLYN DULIN WARE Born: March 9, 1921 Died: Dec. 17 , 2015

Ethlyn Dulin Ware; daughter of Garrettson Dulin and Jane Stimson Dulin, Ethlyn, “Dulie” as she was known to all, grew up in Pasadena, California, where she was born.

Dulie attended the Polytechnic School , The Masters School in Dobbs Ferry, New York, then on to Scripps College in Claremont, California, from where she graduated in 1943. Following graduation, Dulie volunteered for the Red Cross, serving as a Grey Lady stationed in Honolulu, Hawaii.

After her service, she returned home to start a nursery school, which was attended by children of Hollywood’s legendary families.

Around this time, she met Gordon Keith Ware and they were married in June, 1946.

Dulie was an active volunteer with the Junior League of Pasadena and Chicago, where she served as President. She was also a member of The Contemporary Club, having served as President, the Know Your Chicago Club, The Women’s Athletic Club, the Belvedere Club and the Dunham Woods Riding Club. Dulie was an accomplished horsewoman, having spent many years as a child riding with her father. Her love for animals, especially her pug dogs, continued throughout her life. Especially pleasurable were her visits to the Brookfield Zoo. Dulie loved people of all ages, treating everyone she met with respect, love and genuine interest. She adored engaging with young people, appreciated a good sense of humor, and lived her life with indomitable spirit and joy. She loved challenging books, intellectual discussions, current events and traveling later in her life with her dear friend, Corwith Hamill. Many will remember her as a “stylish lady”: dressed in colorful attire, highlighted by her immaculate, white hair.

Dulie is survived by her four children, Victoria Jessopp (Charles), Keith Ware (Heather), Alyson Hellman (Peter) and Jane Swaffield (Payson); ten grandchildren, seven great grandchildren, and two brothers, Garrettson Dulin Jr. and Robert Dulin.

Continued from page 18 Sugar Grove resident Alice Osterman also helped with the packaging and has done so the past two years.

“I had asked the church if I could collect cards and stationery for the Mother’s Day Project and they agreed,” she said. “It’s nice to put some things together that’s pretty for them to write on and to keep in touch, especially for Mother’s Day.” Batavia resident Jana Minor, the founding director of Companions Journeying Together, has been helping the incarcerated and their families communicate for the past 30 years.

Minor said that the collection at St. Katharine Drexel was one of many drives that combined to net 4,640 packets.

“We sent them to the eight adult prisons and jails, as well as both women’s prisons and the seven juvenile jails and prisons in Illinois,” she said.

“When you think about it, that’s a lot.

Each packet includes five pretty pieces of stationery, cards and envelopes.”

The annual project serves as a reminder that the incarcerated aren’t the only ones affected during a holiday such as Mother’s Day. “A lot of other people are affected, especially children who are without

their moms and dad, and it hurts,” Minor said. “Just because someone has committed a crime or used drugs doesn’t mean that they were such bad parents that they should have no contact with their children.”

Mother’s Day is May 8, and the impact of the packets has already been felt, with several packets received and many more cards and letters in the process of being written and mailed.

“I’ve already received a bunch of thank-you notes from women,” Minor said. “It reminds them that someone cares about them, and it’s allowing them to write to their loved ones to show that they care for them.”

Really?

Did you know that of cancers affecting both men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer? But this is one cancer you can prevent.

Screening tests help find polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.

So, if you’re 50 or older, get screened for colorectal cancer.

Screening really does save lives!

Cupcake stand raises money for Lazarus House Western Avenue school first-graders donate $236 KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE neighbors@kcchronicle.com

• Thursday, May 5, 2016

GENEVA – Wendy Graves’ firstgrade class at Western Avenue Elementary School in Geneva hosted a cupcake stand – which they named Cupcake Ooh La La! – on April 23.

Matilda Gustafson proposed the idea, and the whole class formed a “business plan,” made signs, organized, and even made a commercial on their own initiative, information about the event stated.

“The kids and families worked together and had water, lemonade and over 100 baked goods to sell during the community garage sale,” the information stated. “Thanks to the support of friends, family, teachers and generous community members, they raised $236 to donate [to] Lazarus House.”

Participants were introduced to the work that Lazarus House does by the third-grade Western Avenue School Kids Care community service project earlier this year, and their imaginations were sparked reading “The Lemonade War” in the districtwide One Book, One School initiative, the information stated.

“This is a wonderful example of how Mrs. Graves, Western Avenue Elementary School and District 304 are creating good citizens, as well as scholars,” the information stated.

OUR VIEW

Ideas roll before camera The Tri-Cities area is a far cry from experiencing routine road closings for film crews to operate.

Yes, “Road to Perdition” shot scenes in Geneva, and the chilling “Munger Road” filmed in St. Charles, Elburn, Geneva, Sugar Grove and Bartlett.

But those movies were released about a decade apart. There were countless film ideas hatched in the interim, however, including several from Fox Valley natives. Contrast the title of Genevan Ben Nissen’s first independent film – “Nowhere Mind” – with the creativity that’s routinely brewing in these parts. Using your noggin never is a bad thing.

When it inspires others in the community to follow suit, it’s even better.

“Nowhere Mind” tells the story of a man who uses out-of-body experiences in the hopes of shedding a recent schizophrenia diagnosis. Thanks to Indie Gogo – the filmmaking cousin to GoFundMe – Nissen has raised more than $5,000 toward the $15,000 he needs for the project. Nissen is collaborating with his wife, St. Charles North graduate Katie Clementz, on the film. Another North product, Nick Smith, piloted “Munger Road,” which revolves, in part, around St. Charles’ annual Scarecrow Festival.

As Nissen, Smith and their brethren can attest, source material is all around us. Could an ABBA musical set at Swedish Days be just around the corner?

OUR VIEW

All the world’s a stage A high school newspaper adviser once advocated thumbing through the school phone directory, pointing to a student’s name and seeking out a story. The idea was that everyone had an interesting hook, a tale to tell, a reason to savor the spotlight.

Fast forward a few years, and that all-inclusive ethic still applies in the hallways. The annual Kaneland High School talent show, held April 29, provided an avenue for students to showcase their many gifts. Singing, dancing and saxophoning were but a sampling of the 20 acts to take the stage.

About 250 spectators attended, but one performer, singer-pianist Trevor Cannon, might have enjoyed the festivities most.

“It was a fun night with a variety of entertainment,” Cannon said. “I had never done something like this before, but I wanted to show them that I had talents that they didn’t know about. It went smoothly. I was nervous at first, but then when I was done, it was like, ‘Oh my gosh,’ because they were all clapping and cheering pretty loudly.”

Bravo to all who participated. Here’s hoping Cannon’s revelation might sprout a few more new acts in 2017.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Without newspapers, what then?

I’m about to begin a vigorous 10-minute workout at Geneva’s Sunset Recreation Center when a man about my age (thinning white hair, slight paunch, plus T-shirt and shorts that someone might garden in) stops me with: “Hey, didn’t you used to write for the Chronicle?”

Stung, I answer, “Far as I know, I still do.”

Brushing this away like a Zika virus mosquito, he inquires, “What newspaper will give me the local news?”

“The Chronicle’s still publishing. It’s just mostly online.”

He smiles benignly at the dope, relays his preference for newsprint, then adds, “What happened to your paper?” maybe mistaking me for the Chronicle’s circulation manager.

“Same thing that’s happening to most papers,” I reply, then blah-blah-blah about easily-accessed online information – not always delivering newspapers’ depth and accuracy. Before I get to the environmental perks of online publication, however, I realize he doesn’t care. His question was rhetorical. In fact, I doubt he’s ignorant of alternative titles to the Chronicle.

Rather, he’s looking for a scapegoat, someone connected to the newspaper, however distant-

RIVER TOWN CHRONICLES Rick Holinger ly, to absorb his annoyance about the shrinkage of newsprint.

A day later, I get it; the de-evolution of newspapers was only the vocalized, conscious tip of his iceberg of frustration. The unrecognized motive for his Chronicle crankiness was the slow loss of life as he knew it, the decline of newspapers a tangible sign of that advancing extinction.

Look, I love the feel, smell and heft of hardbacks and paperback.

I’ll never commit to a Kindle, and reading literature on a phone belittles the reading experience literally and emotionally.

Novelist Tim Parks, in the “New York Review of Books,” begins, “At the university where I work, certain professors ... will react with disapproval at the notion that one is reading poetry on a Kindle. It is sacrilege.”

Scarier still, electronic communication – professor and editor Sven Birkerts argues – creates “a more telegraphic sort of ‘plainspeak.’ Simple linguistic prefab is now the norm, while ambiguity, paradox, irony, subtlety and wit are fast disappearing.”

Birkerts also questions whether the academic canon of literary texts “might not be too taxing a system for students. ... Should we suppose that American education will begin to tailor itself to the aptitudes of its students, presenting more and more of its materials in newly packaged forms? And what will happen when educators find that not very many of the old materials will ‘play’?” – that is, capture student enthusiasm.

We’re already caving to youth’s aversion to reading; one Emory University professor only assigns novels under 200 pages.

That said, I’m comfortable, though not entirely happy, getting my daily news from a screen. If that’s what it takes for local newspapers to continue, fine.

Because if local newspapers fold, where will we find out what’s behind city council decisions?

Who’ll question tax hikes? How will we know from Sound Off how people really feel? Thank you, dear readers, for investing your time and treasure in the Chronicle – in whatever shape-shifting form it might appear.

A few weeks ago I turned 19 years old, and it amazes me that nothing much has changed. I am on the cutoff for my teen-hood and on the brink of entering the “best decade of my life.” While I yearn to hold onto the simplicity of being a teen, I so much want to jump right into my 20s. Last year, turning 18 meant I was officially an adult. Now, I must wait two years until all the greatness of 21 occurs. Until then I am stuck being 19.

Recently, when I was working at my job at the retirement home, I overheard a few stories from residents that really made me appreciate the stage of my life that I am in. While I cleaned tables, I heard a resident tell another that he was born in the decade of the Depression.

He explained how his family had to overcome so much to get back on their feet. On

BEFORE THE DIPLOMA Denise Cartina a daily basis, I always hear a few residents state how “life was so much easier back when we were young” and “we had such a good time back then. The world is going downhill.” Some of these remarks I chuckle and ignore, and others really hit me hard. Everyone loves to reminiscence about the glory days, and I often am intrigued to hear some of the memories the residents have to share.

When I listen to the stories that residents share with one another, it makes me realize just how much each individual has gone through in his or her lifetime. The residents have witnessed wars, lived through economic highs

and lows, and have seen the American society evolve over time.

Mainly, I cannot even fathom the idea of growing old one day and being the same age as the residents whom I serve. It just seems so far off.

It is so unbelievable that I may one day be placed in the very seats that the residents at the retirement home sit today. Since I started working there, I have encountered some residents who have told me some words of advice, such as how I should not take life for granted or how I should smile as much as I can and enjoy my youthful years.

While I was busing tables today, a man called me over and asked if I could cut the corn he was eating off the cob. While I have never done such a thing, I grabbed a knife anyway. I asked the man how he wanted me to cut it, just to make sure I was

going to do the job right. He proceeded to tell me that I had the right idea, and I successfully cut the corn off; no big deal. Before I left, the man thanked me and told me a statement that was probably meant to be lighthearted, but I took it as something more.

He mentioned that when I am 100 years old, I will remember the little things in life such as today. The day that this resident jokingly “taught” me how to properly cut corn off the cob – 100 years old, can you imagine?

SOUND OFF Dangerous territory

Currently, in the year 2016, we have many individuals who are required to take sensitivity classes. A very kind pediatrician I know must attend a sensitivity course. This is a result of joining a hospital in his community that forced a buyout of his private practice. What an insult to some very competent and hard-working Americans to sit in a classroom where they are told to be “sensitive.” But my real concern involves designer babies who will grow up to be intelligent and beautiful (since they are designed in that form). Will they be required to take sensitivity classes to deal with us “normal” humans? Designer babies are not a joke. We are entering some very dangerous territory. There are no longer boundaries for marriage or gender or babies.

This is what happens without rules. We are entering dangerous times. I say, “Take your science and bury it.” Use common sense, you bird brains. Oops. I take it back. That is too kind because birds are smarter than the people who design babies by

To the editor: Having read the Kane County Chronicle for years, it was logical to read the Elburn Herald after moving to Elburn. Recently, the Elburn Herald was purchased by Shaw Media. Welcome.

Not seeking to find fault, one of the first pertinent articles that Shaw Media printed for Elburn was on the M.A. Center on April 21, titled “Center seeks special use to build more housing.” This article is imperative to all of the taxpayers of Elburn and all of its tax bodies, as well. However, this vastly important article in the new Elburn Herald eliminates the most vitally important five paragraphs in its Elburn Herald printed version. Oddly, the full article is contained in the Kane County Chronicle.

The article explains the history of the M.A. Center and its recent improvements. The county sought input from Elburn because the center is located within 1.5 miles of the village. The main discussion of the meeting was whether the county will or will not add the legal condition of approving taxation on M.A. Center’s residential units.

Attorney Bob Britz, thankfully, stated that it would be a simple matter for the county to approve the special use for the M.A. Center, with the condition that it have its proper residential housing tax.

This is now the necessary clear and concise taxed condition.

MAPLE PARK – When Ray Lynch started County Line Customs & Collision in 2011, he never thought the business would become what it is today.

“At the time, I had a hard time finding a job, so I decided to create my own,” Lynch said. “What I thought would be a part-time job has turned into my lifelong career.”

After five years of doing custom collision and paint jobs on motorcycles and cars, Lynch saw an additional need in the community and decided to expand his business.

As an extension of County Line Customs & Collision, County Line Industrial Sandblasting and Coating opened April 1 on Summer Lane, two blocks away from the parent building. The business extension will specialize in anything that can fit through a 14-foot door: farm equipment, trailers, semis, heavy equipment, garbage trucks, etc.

If it fits, it can get a face-lift at County Line Industrial Sandblasting and Coating.

Its first big job was with DC Trash, working on its garbage trucks and semis. Lynch hopes word spreads to other construction companies with large equipment in need of sandblasting or paint work.

“We can now service two wheels to 18-wheel vehicles,” Lynch said. “We work with each customer individually to make sure they’re happy with the

work. That is our top priority.”

Lynch started his restoration career in 1989 as a custom body painter at Gerald Oldsmobile in Naperville. From there, he went to work for several other custom body shops, which gave him the skills to train his own staff.

Lynch also partners with Kishwaukee College in Malta and offers internships to students taking auto body classes. Two students have been through the program this year.

“My goal is to keep the youth interested in the trade,” Lynch said. “It’s hard work, but to see the results of your work is very gratifying. That’s what I hope to teach these kids.”

Lynch said he goes out of his way to get the best parts for the job, even if it means he doesn’t make as much money on the job as he’d like to see.

“Referrals come from word of mouth,” Lynch said. “If the customers are happy, then they’re going to refer their family and friends to us, and we get more work. If it means I make a few bucks less to give them a part that’s going to last longer, then so be it.”

That system is working for Lynch, He’s seen customers come from as far as the North Shore of Chicago, Sycamore, DeKalb, Sandwich, Naperville and Hinckley.

“It’s crazy to think I’ve come this far in five years,” Lynch said. “Thanks to my family and friends who helped me get started and the community for keeping us going.”

SUGAR GROVE – Nancy Mickelson of Sugar Grove will never forget the first time she heard steel pan.

She was on the island of Trinidad in 1976 and the music was almost dreamlike as she soaked in the beauty of the ocean and the rest of her surroundings while the music made its way to her ears.

“I fell in love with [steel pan] immediately,” Mickelson said. “It’s something that I later found out was very rare, so when I heard that there was going to be a special performance of steel pan [in Sugar Grove], I made sure I wouldn’t miss it.”

The Waubonsee Community College Steel Pan Band presented a free steel band performance on May 1 at the Sugar Grove Public Library.

Mickelson was one of about 50 guests who enjoyed the one-hour concert, which included a wide array of Caribbean, pop and classical music, especially several well-known modern classics. She made sure to buy a copy of the band’s CD before departing.

The set list included The Beatles’ “Eight Days A Week,” Madonna’s “Holiday,” a pair of tunes by the Grateful Dead and dedicated renditions of David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” and Earth, Wind & Fire’s “Boogie Wonderland” – Bowie and Earth, Wind & Fire founder Maurice White both passed away earlier this year.

Sugar Grove resident Laura Chen

brought her 2-year-old son, Harrison, to the show.

Chen has experience in playing percussion, so she was intrigued by the opportunity to see it live.

“You can’t beat having live music close to home like this,” she said. “It was a great opportunity to see steel pan like this. We had a lot of fun, and Harrison is already into music. He sings and plays the drums and piano at home.”

Sugar Grove resident LaVerne Dissmeyer lives within walking distance of the library. She made the brief trek to experience something she hadn’t seen before.

“It was absolutely fantastic,” Dissmeyer said. “You can’t beat something as wonderful as this that also doesn’t cost you a thing. It was a lot of fun.”

Band director Frank Check made it a point to give some history about the steel pan in between tracks. He was pleased to see a nice turnout, which featured several kids dancing in the aisles.

“It’s one of those things that many people view as a novelty thing and really don’t know what it is until they see it and hear it for themselves,” he said. “We try to play some stuff that people know, which will keep them interested – and that’s right up my wheelhouse. I love arranging all those pop songs.”

Check wasn’t sure when the band would play next, although he guessed it wouldn’t be until later this summer.

RELEASE DATE: 5/1/2016

Lee Marvin said, “As soon as peoFRI, MAY 6 8-3 ple see my face on a movie screen, SAT, MAY 7 8-NOON they know two things: first, I’m not going to get the girl, and second, I’ll get a cheap funeral before the picture is over.”

This deal has two faces. Yesterday, Many Misc Household Items & More!

South got the girl when he made four hearts. But if West had been GENEVA - MILL CREEK GARAGE SALE more resourceful and East had coop230 Homes! Thurs-Sat, May 5-7, 8am-4pm erated, South’s contract could have Maps at www.millcreekgeneva.com 1.5 miles west of Randall between Keslinger and Main Streets been given a funeral. How? After West’s one-spade opening GENEVA HISTORIC DISTRICT bid was passed around to South, he 521 South Street might have jumped to three hearts.

May 5/6 Room and Board twin beds, leather chairs, In this balancing position, it would designer clothing/shoes (Tory Burch) books, lamps, mirrors, bookcases, have been an intermediate jump Lane cedar chest, treadmill, nice antiques, jewelry, keurig, large wool rugs, overcall (not weak), showing at least huge soccer goal, ping pong table a six-card suit and some 15-17 points.

But it would typically have indicated a stronger suit than this one. North’s three-heart raise was no thing of beauty, with a 10-loser hand, but with four-card heart support, it was hard to pass.

Against four hearts, West leads the spade king. East overtakes with his ace and returns the spade four.

How should West analyze the deal?

West can see a third trick in the club ace, but he should realize that South will know he has the heart king. East passed over one spade and has produced an ace; he cannot have the heart king.

West should see that he has one faint chance. He should cash the club ace (although it isn’t necessary in this deal), then lead his lowest spade.

East, who from the bidding knows his partner has six spades, should see what is required -- he ruffs with the heart eight. This uppercut promotes a trump trick for East-West.

2 KANELAND GIRLS TRACK

Knights ‘just want to run’

Kaneland’s Maddie Keifer approaches the high jump April 29 during the Kane County girls track meet.

Healthy Kaneland looks to do some special things in the next few weeks

By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com Nicole Sreenan crossed the finish line.

She hadn’t forgotten the feeling, but her first-place finish for Kaneland in the 100-meter dash at the Kane County girls track and field meet at St. Charles North meant much more.

Having missed most of last season with a back injury suffered in competitive cheerleading, Sreenan was back with her teammates at the April 29 meet. Now a junior, her excitement was beyond recognition to be competing in her first county meet and doing more than watching.

“I just want to run,” Sreenan said. “You don’t understand how sad it is to have to watch – though I love watching my team – how sad it is to know you’re supposed to be down there with them. I’m honestly just glad to be running again. It feels really good to be back.”

Sreenan said with a slight smile that it depends on the day whether her back feels strong.

She also has been dealing with a sickness that forced her to leave the county meet, but the junior sprinter believes she’ll be healthy and ready to go for

the Knights’ Northern Illinois Big 12 conference meet May 6.

While Sreenan, the school’s record-holder in both the 100 and 200, entered the county scene with her 100 victory in 12.3 seconds, senior Allie Heinzer made the same kind of impact in her final county meet.

Cruising to victory in the 200 (24.91) and nearly setting a county record, Heinzer also wasn’t feeling 100 percent. The performances from Sreenan and Heinzer, along with those of fellow county champion pole vaulters Sydney Davidson and Lexie Guerra, showed just how much potential this experienced Knights team has when at full strength.

“To have a lot of girls sick or not feeling their best and finish how we did [third among 16 teams at county] shows us a lot about this team,” Heinzer said.

“We probably talk at least once a week about how our overall goal at sectionals is to get as many people to state as we can. Our coaches stress to us that health comes before competition, and I think that’s the biggest thing for us. If we stay healthy, I think this team has a chance to do some special things in the next few weeks.”

Continued from page 2 is the experience and leadership of its senior class.

“I think any time you have good, strong seniors, you give yourself a chance to be successful,” Snyder said.

“We have great seniors, and I think that really benefits ... newcomers and underclassmen tremendously. They see girls that have been there, done that and are great leaders. It not only makes that transition smoother, but it also allows them to come in and contribute and not feel pressured as much on a big stage.”

Heinzer, who also took second in the 400 at county (59.53), is part of that strong senior class with Carly Bartholomew, Becca Richtman, Bri Bower and Noelle Espino, just to name a few.

In her final high school season, knowing that each run could be one of her last as a Knight, Heinzer knows her college plans are secure. She’ll head to Lewis University next year.

“If we stay healthy, I think this team has a chance to do some special things in the next few weeks.”

Allie Heinzer Kaneland senior sprinter

With that in mind, not only has some of the pressure subsided, but there has been time to reminisce about her first days on a high school track.

“I was a freshman once, too, you know,” Heinzer said. “You just feel good when you know there’s upperclassmen that care and want to help and be there for you. I think knowing that my plans for the future in college are set, it’s allowed me to be that helping hand and cheer for us as a team.

That’s my main focus this year – for the team to do well. My sole focus is trying to do whatever I can to help this team be successful.”

• Thursday, May 5, 2016

After winning the previous two Crystal Lake Central invitationals, the Kaneland boys track and field team placed second to Vernon Hills in the meet’s 43rd edition April 29.

The Knights had a single individual win from Mike Rinella in the pole vault. Rinella defended his 2015 meet title with a season-best height of 13 feet, 9 inches.

The 4x100-meter relay of Tyler Paulson, Matt Noel, Tanner Robertson and Brandon Cruz also was victorious, clocking a 43.95.

“We didn’t load up our relays for this meet and tried some different entries,” Knights coach Eric Baron said.

“I felt that was something we needed to do to set up a peak performance at the Kane County championships (at Kaneland on May 6). But Vernon Hills is a very good team that will be in the hunt for honors at the 2A state meet.”

On the track, Kaneland senior Cruz placed second in the 100- and 200-meter dashes in 11.23 and 22.61, respectively.

The foursome of Paulson, John Delach, Adam Revas and Noel placed third in the 4x200 relay in 1:34.46. Robertson

placed second in the 300 hurdles in 40.55 after leading until the last hurdle.

Matt Richtman and Austin Kintz teamed up to place second and third in the 1,600 in 4:30.48 and 4:30.80, respectively.

“We didn’t have a lot of things go our way,” Baron said. “Junior Danny Walker, the defending state champion in the pole vault, is back competing after having surgery in the offseason.

He’s coming along and is close to making a breakthrough. But he’s just not there yet. In the final event of the meet, the 4x400-meter relay, Sean Spaetzel ran a great 50.9 leadoff leg for us, then on the third leg Matt Noel got clobbered on the backstretch and knocked down to the track [with no disqualification resulting]. Not the way we had hoped to finish the meet.”

In looking ahead to the Kane County meet, Baron said: “I’ve told our team we’ll have to have [a] perfect meet to win. The county is just loaded with really good teams this year.

Batavia is so deep they could win the team title without winning a single event. Geneva also has great depth, and West Aurora is top-heavy with talent. It should be one of the best county championships ever.”

4 SPEEDSKATING

After hockey, North’s Kleba shines as speedskater

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com

A

ustin Kleba routinely references U.S. Olympic male speedskaters of recent and not-so-recent vintage while discussing his new favorite ice sport.

Kleba only began speedskating about 21 months ago. He first aspired to join the ranks of Eric Heiden, Dan Jansen, Apolo Ohno and Co. a short while later.

A St. Charles North sophomore from Campton Hills, Kleba recently completed a landmark foray into the international junior speedskating scene, a winter in which he balanced books and typical teenager stuff with extended trips for competitions in Norway and China.

“Meeting all the people that I’ve never met and going to countries that I’ve never been to – yeah, it’s been crazy,” Kleba said. “It’s been a lot different of a lifestyle.”

Kleba, 16, began skating when he was 3 1/2 and yearned for hockey stardom. He quickly excelled and ascended, becoming a fleet-bladed center with a strong, right-handed shot for the Geneva-based Cyclones Amateur Hockey Association.

Now 5-foot-6, 159 pounds as he adds toning bulk during the skating offseason, Kleba since has embraced the necessity of maintaining a lithe build.

Much of that is a credit to his disciplined training regimen and diet.

In his early hockey days, however, a youthful impulse helped cultivate something in Kleba’s game that still is paying vital dividends.

“The seeds were already planted from years gone by,” said Stephanie Kleba, Austin’s mom. “From our friends telling us how fast he was and how he always, always prided himself on being the first one to the puck. I mean, it was like a piece of candy kind of thing, you know. Or a piece of gold.

He would charge and fight for it, and he was always after that puck.”

From the stands, fellow parents even joked with John and Stephanie Kleba that their son might even try speedskating. It remained a tongue-incheek proposition for several years, until Austin Kleba encountered something he no longer could laugh at.

Ongoing shoulder troubles and injuries throughout his hockey career resulted in eventual surgery. When Kleba suffered another dislocation during a two-week camp in Minnesota during summer 2014, he offered no hesitation in

Speedskater Austin Kleba, a St. Charles North sophomore, recently competed in the 2016 Winter Youth Olympic Games in Lillehammer, Norway. his intention to switch sports.

By then, Stephane Kleba had learned more about speedskating through an acquaintance, and Austin Kleba had formed a curiosity. He joined Glen Ellyn Speed Skating and embraced the tutelage of coach Carl Cepuran, whose son, Eric, now guides Kleba as the long track coach at The Academy of Skating Excellence in Milwaukee.

Because there is a scarcity of long track facilities in the U.S., Kleba often uses GESS’ short track at Center Ice of DuPage for training, streamlining his commutes to and from the Pettit National Ice Center in Milwaukee. Asked about the transition from hockey skates to speedskates, Kleba acknowledged the immense difference before describing his blue-collar approach.

“The best way to kind of do it is you’ve just got to grab onto something and just take it how you can,” Kleba said. “I mean, there’s not really a technique to switching between them.”

There are, however, adjusted physics, which starts with the length of the blade and its positioning in the skate boot. It wasn’t long before Kleba discovered he could not pick up his new boots the way he did in hockey.

Furthermore, he had to learn to “almost push sideways” to generate more speedskating power. In hockey, he’d

grown accustomed to pushing back.

Ultimately, Kleba proved a quick study. Despite missing the vast majority of offseason training that year, he earned plaudits as GESS’ 2014-15 Rookie of the Year and U.S. Speedskating’s Top Long Track Male for the Junior C division in 2014.

“In the beginning, it wasn’t really anything serious for me, but as time went on, I found kind of a passion in it,” Kleba said. “And after that passion came, I kind of felt myself becoming stronger at it and I kept excelling at it.

It just came more [easily] and [easily], and eventually I just decided to take it full time.”

Naturally, Kleba is quick to point out that 2014 U.S. Olympic speedskater Emery Lehman, an Oak Park-River Forest product, emerged from a hockey background. Lehman is slightly more than three years Kleba’s senior, but Kleba is on his way to accumulating his own awards.

Competing in January at his familiar gliding grounds in Milwaukee, Kleba won junior A/B national championships in the 500 meters, 1,000 and 1,500.

From there, he represented Team USA – with Eric Cepuran as his coach – at the Youth Olympic Games at Lillehammer, Norway, in February, where he captured a silver medal in a Mixed

National Olympic Committee Team Sprint event. Lillehammer hosted the 1994 Winter Olympics more than two decades before Kleba competed there, but Kleba still was brimming with the history. His world tour continued at the junior world championships in Changchun, China, in March.

At North, Kleba said, “mostly everyone knows what I do. It was kind of more of a big surprise when it first happened, when I first made the [U.S.] team. Everyone was kind of going crazy at that time. I was getting a lot of recognition in the hallways.”

Imagine the buzz should Kleba deliver on his own goals. The 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, will take place during Kleba’s senior year of high school. Lehman was an OPRF senior during the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia.

Kleba said his own development is ahead of schedule, but he still doesn’t want to get ahead of himself.

“I mean, I’m not going to quit at anytime soon,” he said. “I really want to take this, I guess, as far as I can take it, with as much passion as I can. I really want to make an Olympic team at some point in my career, you know.

Maybe get a medal in the Olympics is a dream that I have. I want to take it as far as I can.”

Early knee surgeries help motivate Bradley’s Yelle

went in for a third surgery and received a redshirt for her sophomore season.

Despite hours spent in rehab and the weight room, the lightning-quick agility she once counted on had been sapped by the injuries.

“Everyone said I had the quickest first step they’d ever seen,” Yelle said.

“After the surgeries, it was tough to accept that no matter how hard I worked, I just couldn’t get it back.”

What she lacked in speed and agility, Yelle made up for in smarts. Because she was sidelined most of her first two seasons, Yelle took to studying opponents’ tendencies to augment her skill set.

Former Geneva girls basketball coach Gina Nolan, who counted on Yelle during the Vikings’ run to a fourth-place finish in IHSA Class 4A in 2010, said Yelle “was the best dribbler of the basketball she’d coached.”

In four seasons, Nolan said the Vikings “were never full-court pressed”

Kat Yelle took advantage of her final year of collegiate eligibility at Bradley during the 2015-16 season.

She is set to earn a master’s degree in nonprofit leadership from the Peoria school in November.

because of Yelle’s ball-handling skills.

Yelle added court savvy to that ability when she returned to the Ohio lineup.

She wasn’t the explosive playmaker that blew past defenders but rather the heady veteran, grizzled by three surgeries.

“I never wore a knee brace,” Yelle said. “When I see someone wearing a brace, I attack it as a weakness and force them that way. I never wanted [it] to happen to me. So, I had to get smarter. When I was out, I really studied

offenses and defenses because I knew I couldn’t rely just on my athleticism.”

Finally healthy, Yelle returned to Athens, Ohio, for her redshirt junior season of 2013-14 with high expectations. It would be her first full season of NCAA basketball. Even though the Bobcats posted a 9-21 record, Yelle saw an Ohio team with the ingredients to be successful.

Long-standing force-play slide rule takes MLB to school I recently had a coach ask me if I’ve been enforcing the Chase Utley Rule this spring.

I could’ve sarcastically said we’ve been enforcing the force-play slide rule since 1998, so it hasn’t been any different this year. I could’ve said we’ve been doing it well before Utley was even in the major leagues. I could’ve added that it was a point of emphasis in 1999, remarked how that’s also the name of my favorite Prince (RIP) album and added that Utley looked like a “Little Red Corvette” when he ran over Ruben Tejada during last season’s National League playoffs, but I didn’t.

Instead, I simply remarked, “Coach, are you trying to trick me?

You know we’ve had a rule in place for a while now, right?” He smiled, chuckled a bit and then asked if I had seen the highlights from the Blue Jays and Rays game from earlier this season.

I had seen them and I’ll get to that a bit later.

Let me begin by explaining that any confusion that you may encounter while watching MLB games this season shouldn’t affect what you’re seeing in college, high school and youth games. Before this season, every level of baseball that I know of, besides the major leagues, had a force-play slide rule. The rule is for safety and protects a fielder during a force play.

QUILL THE UMPIRE Chris Rollin Walker MLB may have added Rule 6.1(j) – Sliding To Bases On Double Play Attempts, but you’ve certainly seen the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) force-play slide rule, Rule 8-4-2, employed for almost two decades now: “Any runner is out when he: (b) does not legally slide and causes illegal contact and/ or legally alters the actions of a fielder in the immediate act of making a play, or on a force play, does not slide in a direct line between the bases. 1. A runner may slide away from the fielder to avoid contact or alter the play of the fielder. 2. Runners are never required to slide, but if a runner elects to slide, the slide must be legal ….”

What we are also asked to enforce in high school is Rule 2-32-1, 2, an excerpt of which states: “If a runner slides he must slide within reach of the base with either a hand or a foot. A runner may slide or run in a direction away from the fielder to avoid making contact or altering the play of the fielder (8-4-2b).”

I could list the entire rule here, but I won’t bore you with the details. It

simply explains illegal slides – including the rolling, cross-body and pop-up varieties – and how it’s illegal for a runner to slide beyond reach of the base and then make contact or alter the play of the fielder, etc.

In the long run, the adaptation of the MLB rule should have a positive trickle-down effect. There’s no doubt that some kids had turned into copycats, duplicating something they’d seen a pro do. Go ahead and search the Internet for the Hal McRae and Willie Randolph play from the 1977 ALCS or the Matt Holliday and Marco Scutaro one from the 2012 NLCS. You certainly shouldn’t see any of these types of plays again, but if you do, it’s going to result in a double play.

Now getting back to the Blue Jays vs. Rays game from last month. The Blue Jays had the bases loaded with one out in the top of the ninth and were trailing 3-2. Edwin Encarnacion grounded to third base and second baseman Logan Forsythe applied the force at second base to retire Jose Bautista, but his wild throw to first allowed the tying and go-ahead runs to score, making it a 4-3 game. The play went under replay review, the umpires determined that Bautista’s slide broke the new Chase Utley Rule, so they reversed the call to a game-ending double play.

Blue Jays manager John Gibbons

was livid. He certainly won’t be the only one, as players and managers will have to adapt quickly to this new rule.

Fortunately, it’s something I don’t have to adjust to since we’ve been enforcing our similar rule since the same year that most of this year’s high school seniors were born.

Speaking of sliding, colleague Chris Casey recently wrote a nice piece about departing Batavia head baseball coach Matt Holm, who will slide off into the sunset after 24 years at the helm.

When I first relocated to the area, I did the majority of my umpiring in Batavia. My full-time job was a typical 9-to-5, so I wasn’t working high school games on weekdays, but primarily travel ball, rushing from work to the ball field to make 6 p.m. first pitches. I couldn’t tell you how many kids I saw from especially 1998 to 2006 at 10U-14U and then covered on occasion while writing for the papers. One of them was 2008 Batavia grad Alex Beckmann, who is in line to replace Holm.

The kid who could really hit is now an adult who should be a nice fit. Good luck to both Beckmann and Holm.

Kat Yelle built her game around pure athleticism.

But after three knee surgeries as a member of the Ohio University women’s basketball team, she reinvented her game before ultimately concluding her collegiate career at Bradley this past season.

As a standout in cross country, basketball and track at Geneva, Yelle joked that she never had to warm up; she could simply go out and compete at a high level. That approach changed 11 games into her freshman season of 2011-12, when she tore her ACL and both meniscuses. She’d played one too many games to petition the NCAA for a medical redshirt. As she prepped for her sophomore season, she tore her meniscus again and needed surgery.

A surgery that left her knee “not feeling right.”

Yelle worked her way back, and just as she was about to take the court again, a fragment of her meniscus was torn. She

KANE COUNTY PREPS ATHLETE OF THE WEEK HANNAH SCHILB St. Charles North Senior | Girls track and field Why Schilb was selected: Schilb won the long jump and triple jump at the Kane County girls track and field meet April 29. Her triple jump of 38 feet, 9.5 inches set a meet record.

St. Charles North senior Hannah Schilb took care of business at the Kane County girls track and field meet April 29. Competing on the North Stars’ home track, she won both the long jump (18-2.5) and set the triple jump county record (38-9.5) with what she believes to be more left in the tank. For her effort at the county meet, Schilb has been chosen as the St. Charles Bank & Trust/Kane County Chronicle Athlete of the Week. Schilb caught up with Chronicle sports reporter Chris Casey to chat about her meet and what lies ahead. An edited transcript follows:

Are there things to improve on from now until conference and sectionals?

I mean, I think there’s always small details you can always work on. I’m undefeated in meets this season in both the long and triple jump, so that’s always good. I’m really happy with that.

How does the team look to you at this point in the season?

As a group, I think we’re all really solid.

A lot of people are injured right now, so some of our relays were a little bit Are you happy with how the county messed up, so they can be better once meet went? we get everyone healthy. But in my four Definitely, especially since it was years here, this is definitely one of the really cold and usually I don’t perform strongest groups we have had.

There’s nothing quite like the crack of the bat against a ball that, you can just hear, is going all the way. Or, the roar of the crowd when someone’s rounding third headed straight for home plate.

Gia Mia in Geneva offers small plates, entrées, other items

By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, May 5, 2016

GENEVA – Brian Goewey was looking for the right opportunity.

He had already been part of an investment group for two restaurants but was on the fence about a location in his hometown of Geneva.

That opportunity presented itself, and – on March 16 – the second location of Gia Mia Pizza Bar opened.

“I was always hesitant, because I wasn’t sure if I wanted to work and play in the same area,” Goewey said.

“It’s always a big challenge opening a business in a town where you’re from, but it’s honestly been great so far. We’ve had so much support from friends and family, but also new faces constantly coming in. It’s been amazing and a really great opening.”

Located at 13 N. 3rd St., this is the second location for the restaurant, with the other located in Wheaton.

Goewey also has an investment is what he called a sister location of Gia Mia, Fire+Wine in Glen Ellyn, which opened in 2012. Goewey named Gia Mia after his daughter Gia, short for Gianna.

Goewey has learned that people love more than just his brick-oven, wood-fired pizzas. He sees the term “pizza bar” slightly misconceived.

“There’s no doubt that people love our pizzas,” Goewey said. “But it’s not just pizzas here. If you take a gander at the menu, only about 20 percent is pizza. The phrase ‘pizza bar’ is coined around the brick pizza oven located in the middle of the 15- to 20-seat bar.

But we have some amazing small plate items, great entrees and vegetable plates, as well.”

Goewey said that Gia Mia prides itself on buying top-quality ingredients, making an in-house mozzarella cheese and importing flour straight from Italy.

A few items that stick out to Goewey are small plate dishes like Veal Meatballs Polenta (hand-crafted meatballs with roasted tomato sauce, creamy polenta and basil) and Ricotta Honeycomb (whipped ricotta, evoo, seat salt, toast and wildflower honeycomb). As for the pizzas, the Pear Caramelized Onion (featuring roasted pears, onion, mozzarella gorgonzola, arugula and balsamic) is what he called “a crowd favorite.”

With two Gia Mia locations now open, it hasn’t been easy for Goewey, constantly spending time each day at both, but when it’s something he’s passionate about, it doesn’t seem so bad.

“It’s what we do, you know,” Goewey said. “It’s 6:30 a.m. at Geneva, then 1 p.m. in Wheaton and 4 p.m. back at Geneva. We have great, young management at both locations that have really bought into the company’s vision. We are really fortunate to have great people that care about what we’re doing working for us.”

Being in downtown Geneva, he is starting to believe in the success when

he sees the doors flying open every day.

“It’s been great,” Goewey said.

“To kind of see everything ... coming into fruition and see all the support is awesome. We’ve put together this fun little quaint restaurant that somehow seems to fill up during every shift, every day. We’re just very grateful that the area has been so accepting and has supported us with open arms.”

The Cristina Paro Quartet, led by Galacia bagpiper Cristina Pato, will perform May 6 in Fermilab’s Ramsey Auditorium. Tickets are $29. The quartet features Victor Prieto on accordion, Edward Perez on double bass and Eric Doob on drums.

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – A celebrated and acclaimed gaita player is coming to Batavia, fresh off a West Coast tour with Yo-Yo Ma and his Silk Road Ensemble.

Cristina Pato will perform in Fermilab’s Ramsey Auditorium, located near Kirk Road and Pine Street in Batavia, at 8 p.m. May 7 as a member of the Cristina Pato Quartet. The quartet features Victor Prieto on accordion, Edward Perez on double bass and Eric Doob on drums.

A pop star of the gaita (Galician bagpipe) in her native Spain, Pato moved to New York to attain a doctorate and push her career in an entirely different direction.

Pato has combined her love of the gaita with a blend of jazz and Latin sounds, and her touring life includes a commitment to education and cultural exchange, according to her website. She was the first female gaita player to release a solo album, back in 1999, and is

also a classical pianist.

She is a member of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble and a founding member of its Leadership Council, collaborating closely for tours and planning residencies, including the multi-year partnership between The Silk Road Project and Harvard University.

Pato has been an active recording artist and performer since age 12 and has released six solo gaita recordings and two as a pianist. She has collaborated on more than 30 recordings as a guest artist, including the Grammy Award winning “Yo-Yo Ma and Friends: Songs of Joy and Peace,” and the Grammy-nominated Silk Road Ensemble album “Off the Map.” Pato has performed in over 600 shows with her quartet.

Tickets for the performance May 7 are $29 for adults and $18 for those ages 18 and younger and can be purchased by calling 630-840-2787 or visiting www. fnal.gov/culture.

on April 29 to showcase its talent, the band has performed at previous Kaneland events and will take the stage at 7 p.m. May 6 at the House Café in DeKalb.

Sophomore Gunnar Magnuson pulled double duty, playing with Remember the Future as well as the smaller outfit Equinox.

“It was kind of a strange night because we didn’t know if we were going to do a talent show or not, since the original date in March was canceled,” he said. “I was glad we were able to do it, though. It was a lot of fun.”

Magnuson showed off his saxophone talent, ripping a solo during his rendition of Gerry Rafferty’s late ’70s classic, “Baker Street,” while junior Sabrina Massa took over lead vocals for the band’s cover of Elle King’s “Ex’s & Oh’s.”

Approximately 250 people attended the show, which provided just a glimpse of the amount of talent that walks through the halls of Kaneland High School.

“It was a true collaboration of the students’ talents, and students supported each other, whether it be through moving equipment or helping each other’s performances,” Kaneland teacher and show sponsor Judy Fabrizius said. “It is a great opportunity for the community to see how Kaneland truly is a school full of talent.”

Cristina Pato Quartet to perform in Batavia

MAPLE PARK – Trevor Cannon wanted to show his classmates that he could sing and play the piano.

The Kaneland sophomore was a bit nervous when he started to perform a cover of Justin Bieber’s “Purpose” during the Kaneland High School talent show April 29, but it didn’t take long for that nervousness to subside and for his talent to take over.

Cannon was one of about 20 acts that were featured during the talent show at the high school in Maple Park.

“It was a fun night with a variety of entertainment,” Cannon said.

“I had never done something like this before, but I wanted to show them that I had talents that they didn’t know about. It went smoothly. I was nervous at first, but then when I was done, it was like, ‘Oh my gosh,’ because they were all clapping and cheering pretty loudly.”

The talent show offered an opportunity for Kaneland High School students to show off some of their talents.

Senior Dean Divizio’s band Remember the Future was one of the groups that performed. The band, which featured nearly a dozen players during the talent show, rattled off its interpretation of “Haitian Fight Song” by Charles Mingus.

“I think the audience really dug it, “ Divizio said. “I talked to a few people afterward who said they were really into it, which was nice to hear.”

Remember the Future isn’t a one-time deal, either. While the band was able to use the setting

St. Charles to host Civil War-themed event on May 7

By JON BELTRANO jbeltrano@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Camp Kane is ready to entertain residents with treasures from the city’s past.

The 8th Illinois Volunteer Cavalry Regiment will present a “Train the Troops” event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

May 7 at Camp Kane, located in Langum Park, which runs along Route 25 in St. Charles. Parking will be free and available in the park’s parking lot on Seventh Avenue. The event is sponsored by the Camp Kane Heritage Foundation, according to a press release.

The 55-member reenacting group will host the event to help train returning and new members for summer battle reenactments. The public is welcome to join or watch the cavalry prepare and practice. The foundation and cavalry are inviting families to bring their children along, pack a picnic and learn

about the history of the 8th and 17th Illinois volunteer cavalry regiments, said Bob Johnson, president of the 8th Illinois Volunteer Cavalry Regiment.

“There were only four active training camps,” Johnson said. “[About] 365,000 Illinois men trained at one of four training sites, and one of them was Camp Kane.”

Attendees may experience aspects of the training themselves. The exercises will be examples of what real Civil War recruits experienced. Activities will include various drills, such as firing, saber and marching; uniform and weapon inspections; and horse-mounted exercises. Replicas of the sibling tents, which housed 35 troops at a time and had a stove in the middle, will be displayed.

“Every year we have to get together as a unit to train in Civil War mechanics and troop movement – the same as Civil War troops – uniform check, weapon check and a lot of talk about the

history of the 8th,” Johnson said.

Johnson said the regiments trained at Camp Kane and were commissioned

by Col. John F. Farnsworth, a U.S. congressman, abolitionist and St. Charles resident. President Abraham Lincoln, a loyal friend of Farnsworth, permitted the action. He said Lincoln even referred to the 8th regiment as the Farnsworth Cavalry, and they were among those in the honor guard at Lincoln’s funeral.

“These men, whether they were Confederate or Union, they served because they believed in what they were doing, and we’re trying to keep that alive,” Johnson said.

The former history teacher has participated in Civil War reenactments alongside his son for the past six years. During the summers, he said, the regiment spends every weekend reenacting battles around the Midwest and eastern United States. They have

traveled to major battle arenas, such as Gettysburg.

“It’s hallowed ground to them,” Johnson said. “They’re here [at Camp Kane] portraying the men that actually trained here ... we try to get back to Camp Kane as much as we possibly can.”

The group has revisited the site for the past three years in order to draw more attention and interest to the historic grounds, said David Richards, foundation board member and marketing committee chairman.

Richards said the foundation has been trying to expand knowledge and awareness about Camp Kane – and the site’s historical context to St. Charles.

“Not many communities have that type of site with that historical connection, and we encourage ... more people to find out about it,” Richards said.

ELBURN – Don’t like being overwhelmed in a large restaurant? Or how about when there’s tons of items to choose from on a menu? Time consuming, right?

Sometimes small places are the best places. Eddie Gaedel Pub and Grill in Elburn is just that.

Named after the smallest player to ever appear in a Major League Baseball game, Eddie Gaedel is decorated with memorabilia from the man’s brief career, with the perfect-sized dining area and menu to boot. (Eddie Gaedel – the MLB player – was 3-foot-7.)

Upon entering for lunch one afternoon, my dining companion and I were welcomed and chose our own high-top table. Just above our table hung an Eddie Gaedel jersey and a television showing the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals game.

Within minutes, we were greeted with menus from the bartender, who put in our drink orders right away.

There were customers sitting at the bar, enjoying their time chatting amongst each other, as well as with the bartender, who was more than accommodating.

Behind the bar was the daily special menu and, with our visit coming on a Wednesday, the special was seafood day.

Add bearded and Siberian irises to your garden LEARNING TO GROW Jody Lay We all remember the bearded irises in our grandmothers’ gardens. They always seemed so easy to grow. You could divide them. They grew just about anywhere. And they were relatively low maintenance.

I have grown irises for years, but last summer I lost some of my favorite colors and varieties to iris borers. As I began researching how this happened and how to treat them, I discovered that irises can be more challenging than I thought.

Bearded irises, the most common variety and the traditional type that we see all over, can grow anywhere from 8 to 30 inches. With wide blades, the greenish-blue leaves usually fan out from the rhizome to create pointed, showy foliage. They like moist but well-drained soil, and they like to be planted close to the surface of the soil.

They should not be mulched to keep the rhizomes from rotting.

They bloom from June to July and make great cut flowers for arrangements. Pieces of the rhizome can be cut to transplant around your yard and share with friends. It’s best to

overcrowding. Unlike bearded irises, Siberian irises don’t typically have issues with iris borers, so they are less maintenance.

Iris borers look like grubs – long, fat worms that burrow through the rhizome, eating as they go. When I found my irises last summer, all that remained were little white piles of mush; they ate everything!

If iris borer damage is identified, plants must be dug and affected parts removed. Use a sharp knife and dip it in a diluted bleach solution between cuts. Pick out and destroy any borers you find as you dig.

After that whole incident, I researched borers and found out how I can prevent them. A systemic insecticide can be applied when the plants begin to bloom.

Geneva’s Gardenology event to celebrate horticulture

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – The eighth annual Gardenology Festival will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. May 14 on Third Street in Geneva, during which garden advisors and vendors will converge to celebrate horticulture.

The Geneva Garden Club hosts the event, which brought about 4,000 people to the downtown area last year, garden club president Debbie Notaro said.

Experts in every horticulture field – including landscape design, herbs, organic gardening and heirloom plants – will do presentations on ideas and products, Notaro said.

“Our goal is to excite people about gardening through an outdoor event and encourage them to garden for the enrichment of their lives and community,” Notaro said. “Attendance has been up the last two years … with Facebook and social media. We have people come at 10 a.m., and they’re still there at 4 p.m. … The day is just packed with people.”

Master gardeners, the Geneva Gar-

and garden education; Deb Krohn from Frog Lady Presentations and of “Animal Planet” fame, who will bring 35 animals; representatives from the Stillman Nature Center, who will bring live raptors; and Atala Toy from Crystal Life Technology in Geneva, who will talk about spirits of the wood.

The children’s tent, sponsored by Heinz Nursery, will be located at the corner of Third and Campbell streets.

It will feature various garden activities for children.

“Heinz nursery donates all the plants, and we provide the little flower pots,” Notaro said. “And then the garden club is going to have a craft for Photo provided them.”

About 250 people attended the Kaneland Talent Show on April 29, which provided a glimpse of the amount of talent that walks through the halls of Kaneland High School in Maple Park.

“It was a true collaboration of the students’ talents, and students

supported each other, whether it be through moving equipment or helping each other’s performances,” Kaneland teacher and show sponsor Judy Fabrizius said. “It is a great opportunity for the community to see how Kaneland truly is a school full of talent.”

Besides the hard and fast cellphones-sleep-overnight-in-mom’s room edict, there aren’t a lot of rules in my house.

The sign perched above the kitchen sink reads, “If you drop it, pick it up; if you sleep in it, make it; if you open it, close it; if it rings, answer it; and if it cries, love it.” Simple enough. That second one, though? I once heard Martha Stewart espouse the wisdom of resisting bed-making for a minimum of 30 minutes after rising. You know, so the bed airs out.

My bed gets lots of air. Martha has nothing to do with it. I’ma slacker.

Walk more to achieve weight loss Dear Dr. K: When I first started walking

for exercise, I lost some weight. Since then, my weight has plateaued. How can I adjust my walking routine to start losing weight again?

Dear Reader: To reignite your weight loss, you need to keep challenging your body. That means walking farther, faster and more often. The more vigorous your workout, the longer you’ll continue to burn calories after you stop exercising.

The number of calories you burn increases as you go faster. But despite what you might think, taking longer strides is not the best way to speed up. Rather, taking quicker steps with good posture (keeping your head up and not bending over) and proper technique (bending your arms and rolling your feet from heel to toe) are the foundation for improving your pace. Once you’ve mastered these basics, the following tips will help you turn up your speed even more: • Power your arm swing. Many people punch their arms forward when they walk. But you’ll get more speed and power if you focus on your back muscles.

Squeeze your shoulder blades and drive your elbows behind you, keeping them close to your body. Pull your arm back far enough so that your hand just passes your hip. Then let your arm swing naturally forward to chest height as you pull the other one back.

• Squeeze your glutes. Each time your heel strikes the ground, squeeze your buttock muscles. This technique naturally shortens your stride.

• Loosen up your hips. When you feel like you’re walking so fast that you want to run, it’s time to get your hips in on the action. You want your hips moving forward and backward • not side to side.

As your right leg steps forward, your

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff right hip should sway forward, and then back as your right leg extends behind you. It’s not a big movement.

• Count your steps for one minute at any point during your walk. Then speed up to see if you can take more steps during the next minute. The more steps you take, the faster you are going.

• Train for strength. Strong leg and buttock muscles power your stride, helping you to achieve higher speeds.

If you’re not up for going fast your entire walk, intervals are a good option.

Alternate fast walking for short periods of time with equal or longer intervals of slower or moderate-paced walking.

The basic idea is pretty obvious: More vigorous exercise leads to more weight loss.

What’s less obvious is that there are groups of muscles that many people don’t use during brisk walking. If you recruit them into your pattern of walking, you’ll use them more and thereby work harder.

Every time I talk about regular exercise, I emphasize that the goal is not just achieving a healthy weight.

I do think you’ll achieve your weightloss goals by altering your walking routine the way I describe above.

But if you don’t, you still will be greatly reducing your risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke and several kinds of cancer.

PUZZLE SOLUTION

CROSSWORD PUZZLE ANSWERS

hearted Mom Dear Mom: If you haven’t already, talk to Co-

ra’s therapist. There may be a medication that will help to lessen her intense social anxiety, or she may need a different therapist.

What’s going on between your daughter and her former best friend isn’t unusual. When romance intervenes, it is common for teenage girls to focus their attention and energy on the boyfriend and less on their girlfriends. Expecting this girl to be your daughter’s sole support system is unrealistic and unfair to the girl.

Because it is unlikely that Cora will find new friends in the context of school, continue to find outside activities that will give her something to do as well as contact with other teens. And, if Cora is open to it, you might consider having her volunteer at an animal rescue group or letting her adopt a pet from a shelter.

Dear Abby: A friend sent me a sample line of face care products from a company she works for. She included a lip balm I used, and sunscreen that contains a chemical to which I am allergic. I offered to send that sample back.

When I researched the ingredients of the other products, I was dismayed to see that they contain many chemicals, too. (I try to use organic products as much as possible because I have sensitive skin.) Should I return the whole unused sample kit? I obviously can’t return the lip balm. Or should I just thank her and keep -but not use -- them? These are high-end products from Europe, and she has been so “wowed” by them that she has become a consultant and is excited to promote them. – Return to Sender Dear R.T.S.?: Talk with your friend and thank her for her generosity, but explain that you are unable to use the products. Ask if she would like the unused products returned to her and take your cue from her. If she has had to pay for the products she’s representing, she may be glad to have them back to share with others.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 17, and although I’m not an angel, I’ve never done anything of a serious nature.

Recently, my parents went to a community “drug awareness” meeting. I guess they told them what signs to look for if a teen is taking drugs. Now I feel like a convict in prison instead of a teen living at home. They constantly search in my bedroom, ask me a bunch of questions like: “Why are your eyes red? Why are you always tired? Why are you getting a C in Math? Are you hanging around with kids who use drugs?”

I keep telling them that I’m not on drugs and neither are my friends, but this doesn’t seem to satisfy them. Sometimes I feel like trying drugs. If my parents think I’m a druggie, I might as well be one. – Nameless, Charlotte, N.C. Nameless: Your parents are

going through a phase in their “raising a family” responsibility.

The community drug meeting has caused them to overreact, but in time they will return to normal.

Trying drugs, just to spite your mom and dad, would be a very stupid move (as I’m sure you are aware).

If your parents continue their extra strenuous drug watch, you might discuss your problem with your school counselor. Some-

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace times an outside professional source can get parents back to thinking rationally rather than emotionally.

It’s important for parents to be aware of possible drug involvement by their teens, but it is also important for parents to use some wisdom and lots of discretion.

Dr. Wallace: Please print my letter. It’s very important to me that you do. I have a friend who is definitely anorexic. I’ve tried to talk her into eating more. She always says she will, but she doesn’t. She looks like a walking skeleton. My mother has contacted my friend’s mom, but was told that her daughter is just going through a phase and that “in time” she will snap out of it.

Please print the dangers of anorexia in your column as soon as you can. Sherry and I both read your column every day and discuss the teen problems and your answers. I want her mom to also see it so that she will see how dangerous it is and can do something about it. Please help and hurry! – Nicole, Milwaukee, Wis. Nicole: Indeed, anorexia nervosa (self-starvation) is an extremely serious eating disorder

and in the majority of situations professional psychological care is necessary.

The desire to be thin overpowers some young women to the point that they view themselves in the mirror as overweight even though they are extremely thin.

Ninety percent of all anorexic victims are females between the ages of 15 and 25. If anorexia is not overcome, death is not unusual.

Several years ago, Brazilian super-model Ana Reston was hospitalized because of a generalized infection. Ana started her modeling career at age 13 and was a highly popular model in Japan, China, South America, Turkey, Mexico and Canada. The 21-yearold model died of the infection that was caused by anorexia nervosa. The 5-foot, 8-inch super model weighed only 88 pounds on the day of her death.

Your friend’s mother must understand that eating disorders are not a part of a passing phase!

Enlist your mother’s help in convincing Sherry’s mother to get a medical evaluation for Sherry.

It is imperative that she gets professional help for her illness.

Do whatever you can to make it happen. She can’t do it by herself and needs the help of her friend – you.

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY My beautiful, kindhearted, Jeanne loving daughter Phillips “Cora” has a “best friend” she used to be very close with. However, her friend now has a boyfriend, so Cora doesn’t see her on weekends or receive texts from her very often anymore. Everything they plan to do together, the girl cancels. My daughter is so distraught that it is affecting her emotionally and physically. Cora has told her friend many times how she feels, but it has made no difference. Her friend promises her things and never follows through.

My daughter suffers from social anxiety, so making a good friend is a rarity for her. I tell her I love her and that I’m always here for her, but although Cora sees a therapist, nothing seems to comfort her.

The school she attends stops accepting new students after ninth grade, so there is no chance of her meeting anybody new. We have tried having her join other activities, but they don’t last.

I’m desperate to help her. Any advice? – Broken-

Sheldon (Jim Parsons) wants to attend a movie screening, so he hires Stuart (Kevin Sussman) to keep Amy (Mayim Bialik) company. Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar also star.

7 p.m. on % WMAQ Strong It’s an unspoken rule of reality competition shows that once you’re “out,” you’re not necessarily gone for good ... as is proven again by the new episode “Second Chances,” in which the contestants who have been eliminated thus far return to form a new team. Expectedly, feathers are ruffled by the situation, but matters become more serious physically for one contender who’s forced out by an injury. Gabrielle Reece is the host.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Grey’s Anatomy Callie and Arizona (Sara Ramirez, Jessica Capshaw) continue to have discord over plans for Sofia in the new episode “Mama Tried.”

Parenthood also is an element as a pregnant teenager — previously a patient at Grey Sloan Memorial — experiences complications that Alex and April (Justin Chambers, Sarah Drew) try to help her past. Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson, James Pickens Jr., Kevin McKidd and Caterina Scorsone also star.

7 p.m. on ) WGN DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Vandal Savage (guest star Casper Crump) is finally apprehended by the Legends in the new episode “River of Time,” but he has some cards to play in trying to arrange an escape. In exchange for letting him survive, he promises Kendra (Ciara Renee) a reunion with Carter (Falk Hentschel). Savage also plays mind games with Ray (Brandon Routh). Snart and Rory (Wentworth Miller, Dominic Purcell) have issues with Rip’s (Arthur Darvill) plans for Savage.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Bones A halfway-house resident who served prison time is murdered, and Booth (David Boreanaz) takes special interest in the subsequent investigation in the new episode “The Last Shot at a Second Chance.” The sleuth has a personal connection to a suspect in the case.

They need more space, and they try to rent it from their neighbor — which proves to be a major undertaking. Ed Quinn continues his guest role as Max’s beau Randy. Matthew Moy, Garrett Morris and Jennifer Coolidge also star.

9 p.m. on _ WLS The Catch The probe of a child’s disappearance is complicated by the parents’ divorce battle in the new episode “The Ringer.” While Alice (Mireille Enos) handles that case, she continues her pursuit of Ben (Peter Krause) by taking a new approach that involves Dao (Jacky Ido). Margot and Reggie (Sonya Walger, Alimi Ballard) are hesitant to tackle the latest scheme Ben wants to involve them in. Jay Hayden and Rose Rollins also star.

9:01 p.m. on % WMAQ Game of Silence A trip back to Quitman seemed inevitable for the friends determined to right the wrongs done to them there, and that trek occurs in the new episode “Ghosts of Quitman.” They try to determine if the vanishing of a former inmate is linked to their situation. A new client (guest star Sharon Lawrence, “NYPD Blue”) may have more relevance to Marina (Claire van der Boom) than she realizes initially. David Lyons, Larenz Tate and Michael Raymond-James also star.
