help during the year. It’s our way of raising money for the other [nonprofits] like the food pantry and historical society and the wrestlers and lacrosse players, and things like that. It’s our way of giving back to the community.”

More than $12,000 in checks was awarded, including $3,000 to be shared by four Kaneland athletic programs.

“We had 144 people volunteer at the Corn Boil this year and probably 80 athletes,” Kaneland High School coach Bob McCaffrey said. “This is going to impact well over 100 different athletes at the high school and will especially help with lacrosse, which is an emerg-

ing sport that’s in need of funding and visibility, so we thank you for this.”

After receiving a check for $750 for the Friends of the Sugar Grove Library, Library Director Shannon Halikias explained how the money would go right back toward benefiting the community.

“This money doesn’t go to the library, it goes back to the community,” she said. “It will go right back and be used by the patrons.”

Conley Outreach Community Services, which provides and coordinates community mental health and human service programs, also received a $750

donation.

“The money from the Corn Boil is going directly into our Good Samaritan Fund,” Conley Outreach Executive Director Carol Alfrey said. “[It all] goes to helping local people.”

Melisa Taylor, who founded and runs the Between Friends Food Pantry, said the $1,000 check she received would go a long way toward helping those in need.

“We have gratitude and appreciation for what the Corn Boil does,” she said. “It’s a wonderful event that continues to help the community. We’re blessed to have their support.”

Sugar Grove receives financial reporting award for 11th year

By NATALIE JUNS editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – The Sugar Grove Finance Department received the certificate of achievement for excellence in financial reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association for its comprehensive annual financial report – or CAFR – this past fiscal year.

This is the 11th year the village’s finance department has received the award for its CAFR report. The Government Finance Officers Association provides third-party reviews of municipalities’ CAFR reports. Every governmental finance department belongs to the organization.

The certificate of achievement for

excellence in financial reporting recognizes that the finance department achieved the highest level of reporting.

The auditor, Jamie Wilkey of Lauterbach & Amen, LLP, who reviewed the financial report from the past fiscal year, presented her comments on the CAFR to the Village Board during its Oct. 18 meeting. Wilkey noted the report was clean and there were no major adjustments to the CAFR report.

“There were no material adjustments,” Wilkey said. “The village received the highest level of financial reporting with an unmodified opinion for the village. The debt structure decreased by 10 percent, and there were positive trends from the report.”

Comments from the board arose

about the police pension fund during the meeting. The Village Board switched to the Illinois Metropolitan Investment Fund – or IMET – to manage its police pension fund after reaching a population of 5,000 in the early 2000s.

Currently, Sugar Grove is 89 percent funded for its total pension.

Wilkey recommended that the board make full fund contributions for their scheduled payments in order to reach the specified goal of being 90 percent funded by the year 2040.

There was $170,000 from the general fund that was transferred to the capital fund, village finance director Pat Chamberlin said.

Chamberlin said that transfer will be used for the Mallord Point Project

and some road projects. There was a surplus of $5,618 that was attributed to revenues coming in and expenses were a little lower than anticipated, she said.

Chamberlin credited her staff for their team efforts to complete the report.

“It’s nice to have a wonderful staff to help with the report,” Chamberlin said. “We work as a team to compose the document. It’s a team effort. I appreciate the help I get from my staff.”

Sugar Grove Village President Sean Michels complimented the finance department on the CAFR. “It’s nice to have such little comments on the report,” Michels said. “It’s been a good year. We’ve had more revenue than expenses. We also have $5,000 in surplus moving to the general fund.”

SUGAR GROVE – Some of the things that come to mind when one thinks about the Sugar Grove Corn Boil are carnival rides, food vendors, contests, parades and fireworks.

The annual, end-of-summer festival is a big event that many look forward to, but some of those same people may not know that the Corn Boil is much more than a festival. It’s actually a volunteer group that promotes a sense of community and provides local service organizations with a fundraising opportunity.

Those values were present during an Oct. 20 check presentation ceremony at the Sugar Grove Township Building. The Corn Boil Committee presented checks to 18 local charities and organizations.

Recipients included the Sugar Grove Public Library, Sugar Grove Township, Sugar Grove Township Community Building, Sugar Grove Historical Society, Kaneland John Shields Elementary School, Conley Outreach Community Services, Marmion Academy cross country, Kaneland High School athletics and Drum Corps, Veterans Park, Between Friends Food Pantry, Special Olympics and five area churches.

“All of us with the Corn Boil are volunteers and we know that ... it’s hard for other [nonprofits] like us,” Corn Boil Committee member Pat Graceffa said. “It’s hard to go to the same businesses at the same time and ask for

Friends serve up breakfast fundraiser Proceeds to offset costs of new Sugar Grove library furniture

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com

Tarah Thorne - tthorne@shawmedia.com

Get to know Jesus Dorado

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com

Jesus Dorado was working as the manager at Paisano’s Pizza & Grill in Elburn when he answered questions for News Editor Tarah Thorne.

Thorne: Where do you live?

Dorado: Elburn Thorne: Did you grow up in Elburn?

Dorado: No, I grew up in Mexico.

Thorne: How long have you been working at Paisano’s?

Dorado: Thirteen years Thorne: What was your very first job?

Dorado: Picking apples in Indiana Thorne: Do you have a favorite sports team?

Dorado: The Chicago White Sox Thorne: Are you rooting for the Cubs this year?

Dorado: I haven’t really been into it.

But I wouldn’t be mad if they won the World Series.

Thorne: What do you like doing when you aren’t at work?

Dorado: Playing music. I play the accordion and like Texas-style music.

Thorne: What do you like most about working at Paisano’s?

Dorado: The owners are very nice.

SUGAR GROVE – Whether it’s a stack of hot pancakes and sausage with the family for breakfast, ice cream with the kids as a treat during the afternoon while sitting on new furniture, or sipping coffee while reading a can’t-putit-down book on the outdoor swing, the Sugar Grove Public Library has plenty of options for food, fun, and relaxation.

And don’t worry parents – there’s still plenty of space to enjoy peace and quiet while tending to homework.

The Sugar Grove Library Friends will host a fundraising breakfast Oct. 29 to help cover the costs of the new outdoor furniture at the library. The library itself is planning a Halloween Spooktacular event, which will complement the day’s festivities.

There are now three new sets of outdoor tables and additional seating by the butterfly garden and a new porch swing. Wi-Fi is accessible outdoors, and the addition of planters with mums gives the patio a welcoming feel.

The additions were made thanks to a generous donation in advance by the Friends to help secure the furniture from Messenger Public Library

event, or $4 in advance. n INFO: 630-466-4686 in North Aurora, which is undergoing renovations, as well as a monetary contribution from Modern Woodmen of America.

“As the Sugar Grove Public Library had porch and patio furniture on a wish list for quite a long time, it was too good of an opportunity to pass up,” Library Director Shannon Halikias said of the purchase. “Together with the Friends’ [and Modern Woodmen’s] support, it seemed like the perfect project.”

Steve Wellington, a local financial planner with Modern Woodmen, had indicated a willingness to partner together on a project as his organization dedicates a portion of proceeds

for enrichment activities within their community. Modern Woodmen will be donating at least $500 toward the furniture’s total cost of $1,000, and the Friends have donated $500 in advance.

If the Friends are able to raise more than $500 at the breakfast fundraiser, Modern Woodmen would match that, Wellington said.

“This was a great opportunity for the library and the library patrons, and I’m so thankful to Modern Woodmen for extending the offer,” library board Vice President Pat Graceffa said.

“The porch furniture is beautiful.”

While the new furniture is already in place, the Oct. 29 fundraiser will help cover its cost. Breakfast will be served from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and attendees can participate in other activities, too. A 50-50 raffle and book sale will also be available.

Children’s Halloween storytime, trick-or-treating in the library (kids are invited to dress in their costumes), drop-in crafts, a screech owl presentation from the Fox Valley Wildlife Center and more will be part of a Halloween Spooktacular.

Breakfast tickets can be bought at the library for $4 a person in advance or for $5 on event day. It’s recommended that you buy tickets in advance if possible. The library is also looking for volunteers to assist at the event. Those interested should contact Halikias.

Local family participates in ALS Walk for Life Nicholas, Elizabeth and Matthew Berland all participated in the ALS Walk for Life in honor of their mother, Anna, who was diagnosed with ALS in February.

The family lives in Sugar Grove.

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – When her mother, Anna, was diagnosed with ALS in February, 21-year-old Elizabeth Berland of Sugar Grove didn’t think twice about stepping into the role as caregiver.

She put her college plans on hold, resigned from her job and quickly learned how to make her mother comfortable.

As the disease progresses, Anna Berland has lost strength in her arms and legs, and needs help with daily tasks such as brushing her teeth and getting out of bed, according to a news release.

As a way to honor her mother, Elizabeth Berland rallied friends and relatives to walk as “Anna’s Angels” in the ALS Walk for Life on Sept. 18 at Soldier Field in Chicago. The event drew more than 7,000 participants, the release stated.

“It’s been difficult to watch my mom’s health decline, but it has also been rewarding to be such an integral part of her care team because it is bringing us closer,” Elizabeth Berland said in the release. “The disease has progressed quickly, starting with weakness in her legs just over a year ago, and today she

relies on a wheelchair, has limited use of her hands and needs a device to help support her breathing.”

The ALS Walk for Life has raised more than $11 million for research, patient services and educational activities to date, the release stated.

“The ALS Walk for Life truly presents an opportunity for those whose lives have been touched by ALS to join together in celebration and remembrance of loved ones,” said Andrea Pauls Backman, executive director of the Les Turner ALS Foundation, in the release.

Backman said that proceeds from the ALS Walk For Life will go toward programs such as medical research, clinics, support groups, equipment loans and more.

The Les Turner ALS Foundation was founded in 1977. The foundation supports the Les Turner ALS Research and Patient Center at Northwestern Medicine, bringing together three research laboratories and a multi-disciplinary patient clinic under one umbrella, the release stated.

D-302 board OKs tentative tax levy prep

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com Kaneland Community Unit School District 302’s Board of Education has given its consent to Associate Superintendent Julie-Ann Fuchs to prepare the tentative tax levy for 2016.

The tax levy is the amount of money, by fund, the taxing body requests to operate for the following year. The decision was made Oct. 24 during a regular board meeting.

“I’m comfortable with this,” board member Peter Lopatin said. “We have certain expenses and I’ve seen the levy process since I’ve been on the board. I see no reason to change anything now.”

Fuchs emphasized that the

“I’m comfortable with this. We have certain expenses and I’ve seen the levy process since I’ve been on the board. I see no reason to change anything now.”

Peter Lopatin Kaneland Community Unit School District 302 board member first step would be estimating the Equalized Assessed Valuation – or EAV – which is $745,393,788 for 2016. It was $713,295,491 last year. The final numbers for 2016 will not be known until next March or April, but it’s understood that the EAV could increase by about 4.5 percent this year.

In previous years, the board has levied more than it had ex-

pected, in what is known as a balloon levy. Fuchs reminded the board that this has been its philosophy in levying for the amount of money that is legally permitted under Property Tax Extension Law Limit – or PTELL. “If a taxing district estimates low and does not receive the full extension amount, for all future years, it can never get that

money back,” she said. “Once the final EAV amounts are established, usually in March or April, the county will determine the exact extension.”

The effect this will have on taxpayers will be minimal and could actually result in a lower tax bill. For example, a $200,000 house would have an estimated tax bill of $4,830, which is about $147 less then what it was in 2015. Of course, if a home’s value were to increase, then the new assessed value would need to be used to calculate the tax bill.

Fuchs recommended that the board conduct a hearing so the public has an opportunity to comment on the levy. If it agrees to such at its next meeting, then the hearing would be scheduled

for the Dec. 12 meeting.

The next step is for Fuchs to work on the tentative levy, which will be shared with the board at the Nov. 14 meeting.

Other board news: • Fuchs shared details about an impromptu visit from the Illinois Department of Transportation – or IDOT – on Oct. 24. Since the district has had issues with buses, this could’ve been a difficult visit. Instead, Fuchs said feedback was mostly positive as IDOT determined that all of Kaneland’s buses would remain on the roads.

“It was all minor things,” Fuchs said. “Kudos to our head mechanics and our other mechanics, and for our director for handling all the buses and the garage.”

Trunk-or-Treat set for Halloween weekend

By SUSAN ONEILL

“This offers us a chance for the community to spend a little bit of time with our church family.”

editorial@kcchronicle.com ELBURN – People of all ages are invited to join the Community Congregational Church of Elburn for its second annual Trunk-or-Treat event Oct. 30.

Children, youth and adults are invited to dress up and trick or treat from car trunk to car trunk in the parking lot across from the church, 100 E. Shannon St., Elburn. Individuals or families will be handing out candy there from 3 to 4:30 p.m. from their decorated trunks.

Kim Deitrick, the church’s director of evangelism and spiritual growth, said that last year’s event was successful, with 15 cars participating and about 30 trick-ortreaters. She said the trunks showed off everyone’s creativity, with themes such as “Star Wars” and “Ghostbusters,” and some with Halloween decorations to make their trunks look festive.

Church member Karen Diesel, who participated last year, said it was fun to have the children come around to see what each trunk looked like. She said she is looking forward to the event again this year, and promised that her trunk will be “creepy.”

The church is adding a few

The purpose of the celebration is fellowship – to offer

something to the community and to have a presence in the community. Deitrick said that so much of what the church does – worship, Sunday school and Bible study – takes place inside its walls.

“This offers us a chance for

The Trunk-or-Treat event also offers a free, safe alternative from the typical trickor-treating, she added. The church blocks off the parking lot so that children are in a contained area, and there are no worries about them crossing the street, she said.

Diesel said that Deitrick is always looking for ways to make things a lot more fun for the children and young people.

“She has fit in with us really well, and has also given us some new ideas,” Diesel said.

“She’s very positive, very spiritual, and is always trying to find ways for us to reach out.”

Deitrick said she wants to encourage the adults and teens to dress up as well to make it more fun for everyone. She is a huge Great Pumpkin fan, and her trunk will be decorated this year as “the most sincere pumpkin patch” from “Charlie Brown.”

The Sugar Grove United Methodist Church also invites the public to its annual Trunkor-Treat event – to be hosted from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Oct. 28 at the Sugar Grove Community House, 54 Snow St., Sugar Grove. There will be hot dogs, walking tacos and apple cider, as well as games, crafts and candy. Participants can vote for the best decorated car trunk. Call the church at 630466-4501 for information.

I love a good marching band. I can barely walk and chew gum at the same time without tripping over my own feet, so watching band members read their music, play their instrument and take tiny steps together to make formations on the field completely amazes me.

I got a heads-up from a colleague during the Geneva-St. Charles North football game that the Geneva marching band would have flames coming out of their tubas during the halftime show.

Flames. Out of the tubas! It was confirmed as I spotted the band director squatting next to the field cradling a fire extinguisher.

So I kept my lens focused on those tubas for their three songs and was rewarded with a great finale.

By SUSAN ONEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com ELBURN – Five residents have stepped forward to volunteer for the village’s proposed parks committee, Elburn Village President Dave Anderson said Oct. 17.

Two additional resident committee members are needed to complete the roster, as village trustees Pat Schuberg and Jeff Walter have expressed interest in ex officio roles.

“People who have talked to me want to know what they would be getting involved with,” Schuberg said.

There was general agreement among board members that the first priority should be an inventory of what is already in existence, including the forest preserves and the trail system. From there, the committee would evaluate what is needed to meet the needs of the residents.

Schuberg said she would like to see something for all demographics of the village, “cradle to grave” activities, she said, including both active and passive recreation.

“We have this land here; what do we want to do with it?” she said. “Where are the holes? ... Maybe this group would recommend a dog park or a community garden.”

Walter agreed, stating that he sees the proposed committee as both a “parks and recreation” entity. The group would brainstorm ideas, prioritize them and bring their recommendations to the board, he said, noting that the committee would not be able to spend money, but there would be a recreation fund to accomplish the priorities.

“There’s a million great ideas, but it’s the execution that’s the hard part.”

He said that what the village needs is something like a five-year plan.

“There’s a million great ideas, but it’s the execution that’s the hard part,” he said.

Although trustee Bill Grabarek said he thought perhaps this was a responsibility that the Plan Commission could initially take on, the other board members did not agree.

Several trustees mentioned the interest that members in the community have expressed as a big plus for the ability to make progress on the parks issue.

“I like the idea of more community involvement,” Walter said.

He said that the interest that community members have shown is encouraging, and that having new faces and fresh ideas is a good thing. Grabarek said that having a public forum where more residents can provide input would also be a positive move.

Walter said that the village will soon be experiencing more growth, with the Elburn Station development and more.

“We’ve got an opportunity here,” Walter said. “We’re a village of 6,000 people now. At some point, we’ll have 12,000 people.”

He said he’s been hearing from residents that they want the village to do something about parks. He said that there is a lot of interest out there now and “a lot of buzz.”

“I don’t want to see us wait any [longer],” he said. “Let’s get it going now.”

“The value is in getting started,” Schuberg said.

Groundhogs, also known as woodchucks, have their day in the sun (or fog or snow) Feb. 2.

But fall is the time of year when they pack on the fat that is crucial to their winter survival.

Photo provided

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto such slumber might also be accompanied by a glowing fire, snuggly blankets and maybe nightcap – the kind you wear or the kind you drink, or both.

But in the woodchuck’s world, conditions are anything but warm and cozy.

Hunkered down in a burrow that extends below the frost line, a chubby ’chuck’s body temperature drops from around 100 F to 37 F or so – a few degrees above freezing.

Their respiration drops to one breath every few minutes.

And their hearts slow down to

about four beats per minute – one every 15 seconds. They may rouse from time to time to make a trip to the aptly named toilet chamber, but that’s about it for activity from November through March.

Survival over this long period depends on the amount of body fat – that chubbiness – a woodchuck is able to store before hibernation. This time of year, these guys are in fullon weight gain mode, eating as much as a pound of food a day in order to pack on a few extra ounces before that first really hard frost hits.

Now if you’re like me, you might be thinking how gaining a few ounces really doesn’t sound that difficult.

(In fact, I’m pretty sure

I’ve done exactly that since starting this column, thanks to a bag of M&Ms sitting just a little too close.)

However, woodchucks consume a diet that is almost 100 percent vegetable matter. Although low in fat, this intake is nonetheless used by the woodchuck to produce just that – the fat that will sustain it through the cold-weather months when plant material is in short supply.

My friend Nikki, a longtime fan of woodchucks and in fact all critters, has been lucky enough to observe these preparations over the last few weeks, thanks to the arrival of a new backyard resident.

She related his story in a recent Facebook post: “I

received a call a few weeks ago from a sweet lady who needed to relocate this woodchuck for his own safety. The woodchuck that had lived here before moved (yes, that’s the story I choose to believe) after the fox family moved in last year. With the necessary permits in place we relocated this fellow to his ready-made backyard den. Happily, he seems to be adjusting, and I get free lawn edging!”

Since that time, Nikki reports that Wally has settled into a routine of “eat, sleep and sit on the deck.” He’ll continue this daily agenda – one, I’ve gotta admit, I envy – until he plugs his burrow with soil and leaves and heads into hibernation.

Early next spring he’ll rouse, with 40 percent or more of that stored body fat used up.

More will melt away during those first few wakeful weeks as he looks for two things: food, and a mate. I look forward to more updates from Nikki about Wally and his adventures in her wonderful, wildlife-friendly backyard – a place where every day is Groundhog Day.

This is the third in a series chronicling lesser-known fall season phenomena.

If today were Feb. 2, the star of this week’s column would need little introduction. For well over a century – and even longer if you count the custom’s European roots – Groundhog Day events have given people a reason to celebrate the supposed prognosticating abilities of a pudgy rodent that has a thing about shadows.

(The day is also, near as I can tell, the only holiday that makes repeated and persistent use of the word prognosticate.)

But the rest of the year, Punxsutawney Phil (or Buckeye Chuck or Jimmy the Groundhog or any of the other famous prognosticators) go by a more mundane name – Marmota monax – and many of their activities center around the major physiological changes they undergo now, in the fall of the year.

Groundhogs, which are also known as woodchucks, are one of the relatively few mammals that enter a state of true hibernation. That is, their body temperature drops, their breathing slows and their heart rate plummets, and they live in a state of suspended animation, sometimes for months on end.

We humans tend to think of hibernation as a period of deep sleep – the proverbial “long winter’s nap.” In our world,

NOMINATED BY PETER RAAK, GENEVA HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE TEACHER: Emma’s nickname is “The Future” because when she was younger she would always tag along to her older siblings’ events. Now that “the future” has arrived, she has definitely made her own impact at GHS. Emma has been actively involved in cross country and track and field for all four years and has excelled at both sports, being one of the fastest in school history. Along with her athletic successes, she is also equally talented musically. She plays the piano, cello, bass and percussion in the marching band. Emma’s academic interest lies in medical sciences. In this day and age of self-serving students and athletes, Emma is a breath of fresh air, as she does what she can for the benefit of the team, band and community.

All of that would be impressive enough, but Grace has also learned some tough lessons with perseverance. For two years in a row, she didn’t make the top audition music group. She could have given up and moved on, but – instead – she tried one more time and was selected to be a drum major for the marching band. This proven leader is a true, positive role model in every sense of the word.

will save taxpayers $1.2 million, Kenyon said.

“It does not save us money, but it saves taxpayers’ interest money,” Kenyon said. “It’s truly a great thing that does not always happen in the finance world. It’s not every year you can do that.”

County Board members also serve as forest preserve commissioners.

And as the County Board, they voted the same day to post a draft of its fiscal 2017 budget, where officials managed to plug a $5.7 million budget gap with a combination of increased revenue, budget cuts and income transfers, records show.

The budget draft shows expenses matching revenue of $84.4 million, a 1.31 percent change from the 2016 budget, documents show. The draft will be

on display for 30 days.

Nearly all the budget gap had came from department requests for additional spending, such as three new employees for the state’s attorney’s office, four for the public defender’s office, a new sheriff’s deputy, a new corrections officer and two more court security officers, budget documents show.

The 11 new positions will cost $880,000, budget document show.

Kenyon said some of the new costs will be offset by increases in fees, such as a hike in court fees to $25 from $15.

Kane County Chief Financial Officer Joe Onzick would have presented a final draft of the 2017 budget Oct. 25 at the Committee of the Whole. After the draft budget is on display for 30 days for public input, the board will vote in November.

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.

GENEVA – Kane County taxpayers will see a modest increase in their tax levy for the forest preserve district, but they will pay a small amount less in property taxes, county officials said.

Kane County Forest Preserve District commissioners voted in favor of unfreezing the levy Oct. 11.

A tax levy is the amount a public body requests be collected from property taxes.

Although a “frozen levy” was touted by officials the past few years, the majority of forest preserve district commissioners voted to increase the tax levy, using new construction and the consumer price index, which will

bring in about $400,000 in new revenue, said board member Michael Kenyon, R-South Elgin.

“We won’t be able to tell exactly what the levy number is yet,” Kenyon said. “Say the levy is 2 percent and we’ll collect 2 percent on new construction. That adds to the dollar levy from before. It does not increase your taxes, but it taxes new people at the same rate.”

Commission member Susan Starrett, R-Batavia, who voted against the measure, said she voted against it as a tax increase.

“I promised to my constituents I would not vote for a tax levy increase,” Starrett said. “And I keep my promises.”

Contributing to controlling property taxes is the refinancing of debt that

LETTERS Think about the Supreme picture

Enjoying fall fun, festivities, food It’s that time of year again – leaves are falling, winds are blowing, and there’s a special autumnal feeling in the air. Plump orange pumpkins adorn porches, cheerful scarecrows smile from storefronts, and every tree bears a rainbow of color.

Pumpkin-spice lattes and comfy Ugg boots are back in season, and people are ready to make the transition from sweaty weather to sweater weather. It’s fall, one of my favorite seasons, and I’m so excited for everything that comes with the dropping temperatures.

Of course, one of the pinnacles of fall is Halloween, a day traditionally celebrated by children, but enjoyed by all ages. I have fond memories of going door to door through my neighborhood on Halloween, dressed in whatever costume had caught my attention that year and receiving candy and compliments from my neighbors.

I remember feeling particularly punny one year and going trick-or-treating as “sheet music”– I wrapped myself in a bedsheet bearing music notes

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

THE WRITE PLACE Emma Chrusciel drawn in Sharpie. A few years before, my three sisters and I had dressed according to a candy theme; I was a box of Junior Mints, and my siblings were an M&M, candy corn and a Hershey Kiss. Needless to say, we received a lot of sweet treats that year!

Fall fun isn’t just limited to Oct. 31. In my opinion, the weather in September and October is perfect for being outside, especially when it’s that “just right” temperature with a slight breeze. Whether jumping into piles of leaves with my sisters (which I’ll admit to doing from time to time) or even just playing a game outside for PE class, I love being outside to see leaves changing colors along with the changing temperature. The scenery is simply beautiful this time of year, and I want to enjoy it as much as I can before the snow arrives.

Of course, we can’t forget one of the most important

aspects of fall – the food! As soon as it starts getting colder outside, I love ordering my favorite fall drink, a Starbucks salted-caramel mocha. When I’m craving something fruitier, I usually go for a warm cup of apple cider or even a freshpicked apple from a nearby orchard (by the way, the apple cider slushies at Jonamac Orchard are absolutely delicious!)

And, of course, pumpkin pie – really, anything pumpkin flavored – is the perfect way to get my palate in the mood for fall.

Whether you like to enjoy these months by celebrating Halloween, being outside, or eating autumnal foods, I think this season truly has something for everyone, and I can’t wait to see the rest of it unfold.

Before you know it, winter will be upon us, so make the most of fall fun, festivities and food while you can!

To the editor: It’s not just about [Donald] Trump; it’s about the Supreme Court.

If Trump turns out to be bad for the country, vote him out in four years. Trump published a list of conservative judges from which he would pick his nominees for appointment to the Supreme Court. Justice [Antonin] Scalia’s seat is vacant.

Justice [Ruth Bader] Ginsberg is 83; [Anthony] Kennedy is 80; [Stephen] Breyer is 78; and [Clarence] Thomas is 68.

The next president will form the Supreme Court for the next 20 years to be either liberal or conservative. This will affect your children and your grandchildren. Think about it!

need “flexibility.” No they don’t ... we have seen what flexibility has gotten us. Instead, they need self-discipline, consistency and the political will to keep their word to us.

One of the most frustrating experiences during the time I worked for you in the Illinois State Senate was losing battles in Appropriations Committee and on the Senate floor against siphoning hundreds of millions of gas tax dollars year after year to non-transportation uses that several governors euphemistically called “diversions.”

Ultimately, there are only two choices to fix our state’s crumbling infrastructure.

Either we adopt massive tax increases (which I oppose) that ignore the root cause of the problem of diversions or we can protect the funds that have already been collected by demanding that our legislators and governors allocate these funds to their originally-intended purpose.

The “Safe Roads” amendment takes the latter approach; that’s why I encourage you to vote yes on Nov. 8.

To the editor: If you would like to reassert your authority as “we the people” over just one important area of government spending, please vote yes for the “Safe Roads” constitutional amendment on the Nov. 8 ballot.

If we pay a tax to the state for a specific purpose, like a gas tax for transportation infrastructure in this instance, then we should require that the money be spent on that purpose. Pretty straight-forward common sense.

If we could trust that Illinois state government would keep the implicit promise of collecting gas taxes for transportation infrastructure, this measure would not be necessary. Unfortunately, distrust in government is at an all-time high, with plenty of examples to support it.

Opponents of the amendment Chris Lauzen say that our elected legislators Kane County Board chairman

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

What are your thoughts on the Affordable Care Act and whether any changes should be made to it? Eliminating the ACA is not the answer. It has many excellent provisions and has provided health care for millions who were previously uninsured. We can’t take away this vital safety net now that we have it. Too many families will suffer.

Are you endorsing your party’s nominee for president? Explain. I plan to support the Democratic nominee for president. Having said that, I am not actively “endorsing” any candidate for any office, because I am focused on the issues that matter most to the people of my district.

The U.S.’s trade agreements with foreign countries have been criticized during the presidential race. What do you think about trade agreements such as NAFTA and the TPP? Congress should support policies that allow our businesses to thrive and sell to new markets. However, any agreement must be judged on its own merits, evaluating labor, environmental, human rights and other policies of partnership countries. I will heavily scrutinize proposed trade deals that could put American producers out of business.

Randall M. Do you support any new gun control legislation, such as a ban or restrictions on assault-style weapon sales? Explain. I am a strong supporter of our “Randy” 2nd Amendment rights. I believe suspected terrorists on the federal No Fly List Hultgren should be restricted from buying firearms. Republicans and Democrats agree R-Winfield on this, but we disagree on who should decide and place suspected terrorists on the No Fly List. The debate is who should have the ability to deny U.S. citizens their constitutionally-protected right to buy a firearm – an unelected bureaucrat or a judge. Democrats want to vote on an unconstitutional bill that violates due process rights of all American citizens.

Republicans believe Americans are innocent until proven guilty. The government must bear the burden of proof before someone’s rights are taken away, and the ultimate decision must fall to a judge.

What are your thoughts on the Affordable Care Act and whether any changes should be made to it? Since the law’s passage in 2010, Americans have seen their health care costs skyrocket and their treatment choices limited. Many families in our district have even had their plans canceled altogether. In short, far too many families in our community are paying more for less. We must repeal and replace this misguided and harmful law.

Are you endorsing your party’s nominee for president? Explain. I haven’t endorsed Donald Trump because I will not defend all of his provocative statements.

That said, I plan to vote for him for president. He represents a better choice than Hillary Clinton.

Democratic candidate Jim Walz did not respond to Shaw Media’s questionnaire.

Peter J. Roskam R-Wheaton Jim Walz D-Gurnee

U.S. HOUSE DISTRICT 11 Why are you the best candidate to represent Illinois in the U.S. House of Representatives? I am running for re-election because I believe we can do more to grow our economy, add jobs in Illinois and support working families. I also strongly support a woman’s right to choose and equal pay for women. In Congress, I will continue to support policies to improve medically assisted treatment options for those suffering from opioid and heroin addiction.

What should the U.S. be doing in the fight against ISIS and other terrorist Bill Foster groups? It is important that Congress pass an explicit Authorization for the Use of Military Force to define and support the powers that the president can use to D-Naperville combat ISIS. There is a broad bipartisan consensus that ISIS should be attacked by a U.S.-led coalition using U.S. and foreign air power and coalition ground forces with very limited special forces intervention. We can achieve this plan without U.S. ground combat troops, who have already been asked to sacrifice too much.

Why are you running in the Nov. 8 general election to be Kane County coroner?

I am running for re-election because I want to continue the process of professionalizing the Kane County Coroner’s Office. I want to ensure that death investigations are performed correctly the first time by applying national best practices (accreditation standards) that objectively review each case.

How would you assess the technological capabilities of the office and how could they be improved? We do the best we can with what we have, but we will need a different, larger facility in the near future. If we do not take action on this in the next few years, I am certain that we will lose our coveted accreditation status.

We are the first office in the state to obtain this prestigious award.

Why are you the best candidate to represent Illinois in the U.S. House of Representatives? The biggest difference between my opponent and myself is that Bill Foster is part of the status quo. He uses every opportunity he can to grow our government and raise our taxes, and I fundamentally disagree with that. We’re the greatest nation on earth not because of our government programs, but because the free enterprise system creates opportunity, opportunity creates jobs, and jobs change people’s lives.

Tonia Khouri What should the U.S. be doing in the fight against ISIS and other terrorist groups? Thankfully, we are seeing ISIS on the defense in the Middle East region, R-Aurora but unfortunately we are also seeing increased, high profile attacks in the West by terrorists claiming allegiance to ISIS. Regardless of the immediate source, ISIS is still a very real threat to us and other nations around the world. We need a grand strategy to fighting terrorism overseas and at home.

Why are you running in the Nov. 8 general election to be Kane County coroner? This country and this county have been great to me and my family and I want to give back by serving the people of Kane County in my field of expertise.

I want to restore a level of trust, respect and compassion that ensures that all Kane County families, and their loved ones, are afforded the best treatment possible.

How would you assess the technological capabilities of the office and how could they be improved? The lack of knowledge of basic mechanics caused a freezer failure and the decomposition of bodies. The failure to label a light switch caused the destruction of forensic evidence. There’s nowhere to go but up in this regard. The coroner’s office and morgue went through extensive renovation then in 2015 and additional technological expenditures will never be a substitute for the quality care and compassion due to Kane County families.

ILLINOIS SENATE DISTRICT 25

KANE COUNTY BOARD DISTRICT 6

Do you support a tax hike or hikes to balance Illinois’ budget? Explain. I oppose raising income taxes, property taxes and the multitude of unfunded mandates imposed upon local taxing bodies without a revenue source to support the added cost of compliance. Unfunded mandates are one of the main drivers of high property taxes in Illinois. Local governments must determine how to pay for these unfunded mandates, leaving fewer resources for local governments to perform their core mission.

Illinois’ state pensions are underfunded by more than $110 billion, worst in the Corinne nation. One pension reform plan has been thrown out as unconstitutional.

M. Pierog What’s your plan to reform the state’s pension systems? We need to bring all D-St. Charles parties to the table in good faith negotiations, such as revisiting elements of the compromise pension bill (SB 2404) that was agreed upon by labor organizations, as well as lawmakers, and is fiscally prudent. There are also smaller steps that can be taken immediately, including curbing the spiking of pensions.

How can the County Board help to improve the business climate locally and promote job growth? Through the Jobs Committee that I participate on, we have worked with our Community Development Department by creating a website, www.whykane.org, which promotes why Kane County is good for business. We have worked with local manufacturers by creating the Kane County Exports Grant Program that coincides with the Metro Chicago Exports Grant Program by awarding grants up to $5,000 to reimburse companies 50 percent of eligible expenses associated with implementing an Brian export plan.

W. Dahl If elected, what would your top two or three priorities be as a County Board D-North member? I’m committed that the county provides first-rate services to its Aurora residents. The board’s role in that priority is to provide responsible and timely governance, working with the county staff to see that the county’s agencies are properly staffed and resourced. My second priority is to see that the county government strives to establish and maintain conditions that foster job growth and a healthy regional economy.

Do you support a tax hike or hikes to balance Illinois’ budget? Explain. Illinois is already one of the highest taxed states in the nation. We must work to reduce the waste, fraud and abuse so prevalent in Illinois before we talk about taxes. We also must first pass the common sense reforms proposed by the governor before we pass any tax increases. IF and ONLY IF we pass those reforms would I consider a temporary tax increase to pay down the backlog of unpaid bills. A graduated income tax would be the best way I can think of to accelerate the exodus of small Jim businesses and jobs from Illinois.

Illinois’ state pensions are underfunded by more than $110 billion, worst Oberweis in the nation. One pension reform plan has been thrown out as unconR-Sugar stitutional. What’s your plan to reform the state’s pension systems? I Grove sponsored legislation to put all future employees on a defined contribution plan instead of a defined benefit plan. I believe that is a critical path that we must follow. I also support protecting all defined benefits earned so far, but stopping the accrual of any future defined benefits and converting current employees to a defined contribution plan while protecting their already earned pension benefits.

KANE COUNTY BOARD DISTRICT 10 ILLINOIS HOUSE DISTRICT 50 Do you support any part of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s Turnaround Agenda? Explain.

The governor has whittled down his agenda from more than 40 items to just five. Those five items are: term limits, redistricting reform, work comp reform, property tax freeze and pension reform. I support all five and look forward to bringing about these solutions to help Illinois become a more fair and competitive state.

Will you vote for Michael Madigan to another term as Speaker of the House?

Explain. ABSOLUTELY NOT! I believe his tenure as speaker has been a disaster for Keith R. the state.

Wheeler

R-Oswego

Do you support any part of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s Turnaround Agenda? Explain.

I am vehemently against most of the governor’s agenda, especially right-to-work laws being passed at the municipal level. Unions helped to create what was once a strong middle class, and we need to support unions, not destroy them.

I am against term limits because I have seen how long it takes new aldermen and legislators to understand the scope of their powers and learn to use them effectively.

Will you vote for Michael Madigan to another term as Speaker of the House?

Explain. At this time, I don’t know who I will vote for. I will have to see who is running against Mr. Madigan. If it is someone who has no experience and no knowledge of government, then I will vote for Mr. Madigan. If someone better runs, than I will vote for him or her.

Valerie L. Burd D-Yorkville

How will your professional experience make you a better County Board member than your opponent in this race?​My MBA from the University of Illinois and my experience in the private sector, running a local business, makes me the best choice for Kane County Board member. You must understand finance and budgets and always look for ways to save money while bringing in outside funding. I have proven myself to be invaluable in these areas, and District 10 would continue with great representation and knowledge to keep the tax levy down.

What is the greatest challenge facing your County Board district, and what have you done – to date – to solve it? Taxes have been the biggest concern in my district. I have worked to freeze the county tax levy, keep the government efficient and serve the county with less dollars.

How will your professional experience make you a better County Board member than your opponent in this race?​As a captain and paramedic for the past 27 years, I have learned how to work with the public every day and by gaining a level of compassion and listening that will be very helpful in working with the board. I know what it means to work with a limited budget while still providing the best care for those in need.

What is the greatest challenge facing your County Board district, and what have you done – to date – to solve it? I feel the greatest challenge in Kane County District 10 is the feeling people have about taxes. Everyone feels taxes are too high; people need to understand that county taxes are between 4 [percent] to 5 percent of their total tax bill. And the county has no control over other portions of their taxes.

Why should voters from your district elect you to the Kane County Board? I will work hard to represent the interests of the residents in the 16th District. I will draw on my experience as an Air Force veteran, South Elgin village trustee, Kane County mental health committeewoman, business professional, mother and wife to make informed decisions that will positively move Kane County forward.

Due in large part to the state budget crisis, many of Kane County’s human service providers are struggling. What can the County Board do to help them continue Jennifer to provide services to the county’s most at-risk residents? The Kane County Mental Health Committee initiated an evaluation process with input from recipients Barconi of service, service providers and other government agencies. These stakeholders D-South Elgin examined existing problems, current levels of service, present and future needs, funding, and service delivery methods in mental health, substance abuse and developmental disabilities. The committee is currently developing a comprehensive recommendation that will support the efficient and equitable distribution of available resources for all service recipients, not just a single diagnostic category.

Many voters feel like they are overtaxed. What will you do to help keep county government spending down? Be specific. I came onto the board in 2008 as the recession set in, and both administrations I have served under have adjusted spending down to needs only and for the past five years have kept the tax levy frozen. Anyone taking a close look at our facilities and operations would find no excessive spending.

If elected, what would your top two or three priorities be as a County Board member? County government, like most, is a balancing act of keeping taxes as low as possible, providing quality services and maintaining quality, fairly-compensated employees. I am also, like many, very concerned about the state of our state and firmly support Gov. Rauner’s Turnaround Agenda.

Why should voters from your district elect you to the Kane County Board? As a lifelong resident of South Elgin, I have been involved as a leader and worked in community events. In the 1980s, I participated in the committee to establish South Elgin’s business association and served as their second president. I am a lifelong Jaycee in both South Elgin and Elgin, serving in many leadership capacities, including president. My involvement also includes my vocation – agriculture. I have served in the Kane County Farm Bureau and was elected to the state board for 10 years.

Due in large part to the state budget crisis, many of Kane County’s human service providers are struggling. What can the County Board do to help them continue to provide services to the county’s most at-risk residents? The county could be the organizer to provide these services, and our staff can help us do so. The County Board has the talent to help these people work together.

Many voters feel like they are overtaxed. What will you do to help keep county government spending down? This is a very difficult question to answer. Government spending is always a heated topic amongst taxpayers. I believe that if government is going to spend taxpayers’ money they need to make sure that whatever project is being worked on is going to holistically benefit the community.

If elected, what would your top two or three priorities be as a County Board Nicolas member? After speaking to many people throughout my district, a very small percentage knew of our current representative or of some of the issues facing our Jimenez county. My goal, if elected, is to bring people together and get people involved in D-Elburn the decision-making process.

Coroner rivals dispute death investigation qualifications Russell says Martinez has never performed a death investigation, while Martinez refutes claims

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Coroner candidate rivals incumbent Rob Russell and Democratic challenger Tao Martinez escalated their differences at a candidates forum over performing death investigations.

The audience question – how many death investigations each candidate had been involved in – was posed at a candidate forum Oct. 12 hosted by the League of Women Voters of Central Kane County at the Kane County Branch Court in St. Charles. The two had clashed the previous week at a forum in Elgin.

“I am the only candidate here for coroner who has performed a death investigation,” Russell, of South Elgin, said. “Prior to becoming a coroner, I also performed some death investigations as a DuPage County [sheriff’s] deputy. So directly – hundreds. Hundreds.”

But Martinez, of Aurora, said he could not answer the question because of a confidentiality agreement

with the Kendall County Coroner’s Office, where he said he is a deputy coroner.

“I would like to answer that question,” Martinez said. “I do have a signed agreement for confidentiality with [the] Kendall County Coroner’s Office, so anything in relation to how many times I’ve been out, how many cases have I handled – it would be something that would have to be directed to them. … I am experienced in this line of work.”

Later, Martinez pointed himself out in a newspaper photograph of a crash scene in Montgomery as proof that he has responded to death scenes in his capacity as a deputy coroner in Kendall County.

His election website, www.martinez4coroner.com, also states he is a deputy coroner.

But a Freedom of Information Act response from the Kendall County Coroner’s Office stated that there are no records showing any death investigations were assigned to Martinez; that there are no records or reports prepared or authored by Martinez; and no records showing any hours he worked as a deputy coroner.

In fact, Martinez is one of several reserve deputy coroners – unpaid volunteers – who can be called out in the case of a mass casualty situation, ac-

cording to the response to the FOIA request.

Attorney Kenneth Shepro, chairman of the St. Charles Township GOP, filed the request and released it and the response to the Kane County Chronicle.

Records show the duties of Kendall County’s reserve deputies are to aid and assist deputy coroners in death investigations, and that after training, they “are utilized in the event of a mass fatality incident … [and] can entail response to the scene of death, collection of evidence and personal property for safekeeping, and analysis and interviewing subjects.”

Reserve deputies must undergo a criminal background check, complete an oral board interview and “have experience in performing investigations and crime scene processing,” records show.

Martinez owns a biohazard removal firm called Archangels Biorecovery Inc., which cleans up after deaths, suicides and industrial accidents.

Reserve deputies also are eligible to participate in regular ride-alongs with the coroner or one of the five paid deputy coroners, records show.

But other documents do not identify Martinez as a reserve deputy.

Martinez’s oath of office, dated July 17, 2013, states he was appointed “to the

office of deputy coroner.” And his official identification with his photo also states he is a deputy coroner, records show.

Records released by the Kendall coroner also show Martinez attended a lead homicide investigator course offered by North East Multi-Regional Training Inc. in November 2015. He also attended the 20th annual Medicolegal Death Investigation Conference in August 2013.

Martinez acknowledged that he is an unpaid volunteer as a reserve deputy coroner in Kendall County – but insisted that it does not matter.

“I am legitimately a deputy coroner, whether you want to call me ‘reserve,’” Martinez said. “[Russell] cannot legitimately dispute that I am a deputy coroner, trained in many more things than he is trained in. … I am a deputy coroner, no matter how you want to see it.”

Russell maintained that Martinez has never performed a death investigation.

“He may have been at death scenes.

He may even have assisted in moving bodies – but that is not what a death investigation is,” Russell said. “A death investigation is contacting the family and determining the cause and manner of death. Moving a body is not a death investigation.”

Frasz, Jimenez vie in D-18

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Kane County Board District 18 candidates talked about how they would keep taxes low, support mental health programs and stay in touch with voters.

Speaking at a candidate forum Oct. 12, incumbent Drew Frasz, R-Elburn, and Democratic challenger Nicholas Jimenez, also of Elburn, each made the case for being the voters’ choice in the Nov. 8 general election. Frasz is seeking a third term.

The League of Women Voters of Central Kane County hosted the event at the Kane Coun- Drew ty Branch Court in St. Frasz Charles, where about 40 people attended. Batavia Access Television is providing video of the forum online at mybatv.com.

Frasz, who serves as vice chairman of the County Board, said his district – which encompasses Elburn, Maple Park, Kaneville and the Mill Creek subdivision near Geneva – is one of the busiest districts in the county.

“From 2000 to 2007, I got involved with a community group in a large development issue, the Settlements of LaFox, and in doing such, appeared before 31 public bodies in reaching a successful conclusion,” Frasz said.

Jimenez said he was running because “local government is about bringing people together and getting people involved.” He works as a quality assurance specialist for a cheese company.

Frasz owns an excavating company in Elburn, A.E. Frasz Inc. Both candidates said they supported continuing crisis intervention training for police officers when they respond to people with mental health issues, as well as a program to provide treatment to people with mental illness, so they stay out of jail.

“A lot of people who get into that [drug use] need another option than to be thrown in jail [where] … you very well could come out of there worse than you went in,” Frasz said. “The other economic part of it is, it’s very expensive to run that jail. It’s a 24/7 operation … so if we can find alternatives … it’s a very good savings to the county if we can keep our population reduced.”

Jimenez said the county has to do a better job of treating people who suffer from mental illness, rather than put them in jail.

“I support going in the direction of providing treatment than sending them to jail,” Jimenez said. “It would further provide help to anyone suffering from mental illness.”

Both candidates said they also support expansion of the Kane County Drug

Court and the Treatment Alternative Court. The drug court helps offenders get addiction treatment to stay out of jail and helps people with mental illness to receive counseling and treatment instead of jail.

In terms of taxes, both candidates said they supported keeping property taxes down.

“The biggest job we have every year is our budget,” Frasz said. “It’s always a challenge to provide services, keep quality employees at a reasonable level of pay and also be responsible and responsive to the taxpayers.”

Jimenez said 90 percent of the people he talked to while campaigning Nicolas said they were concerned Jimenez about their property taxes.

Kane County ranks 27th among counties that pay the highest property taxes, Jimenez said.

“That puts us in the top 1 percent of property taxes,” Jimenez said. “Keeping taxes low is a very important goal for us.”

Jimenez and Frasz both said they would work to maintain communication with their constituents.

“I publish my home phone number and my cell numbers and answer my cell 24/7. … I attend township meetings and Elburn Village Board meetings and the Mill Creek Special Service Area board meetings,” Frasz said.

Jimenez advocated not waiting for people to contact him, but to reach out to them.

“In order to actually see what people are feeling, you have to go out and talk with people,” Jimenez said. “You have to reach out to them.”

As to why people should re-elect him, Frasz said he has an eight-year unblemished record of accomplishments for his district and one of the highest meeting attendance records.

“I differ with him greatly,” Frasz said of Jimenez. “He is supported by unions and is a supporter of unions. I have not taken any union money, and I don’t believe that it’s a proper thing to do when you’re on the board. And I have been a big fighter to help repeal the prevailing wage act because it adds 15 percent to 20 percent on all of our county projects. … I am in this for all the right reasons – and my record bears that out.”

Jimenez countered that he did not see the point of bragging about doing what Frasz was expected to do by attending meetings as an elected official.

“I can’t brag about doing what is expected of me – that is what I am meant to do,” Jimenez said. “It’s about going above and beyond the call of duty. And I think as a representative, that is what you have to do.”

With hockey season in full swing, all eyes are on the Chicago Blackhawks. As spectators, we may take a second to fantasize about what it would be like to be one of these skating heroes, only to quickly jump back into reality.

However, young athletes from around the country – and the world – are working in Geneva toward a dream they know is more than just a childhood fantasy. The reality of making it big for these 16- to 20-yearolds is likely only a matter of time as they practice and play with the Chicago Steel in the nation’s top tier junior hockey league, the U.S. Hockey League – or USHL. The journey to the pros for these young athletes takes more than just sacrificing free time to be on the ice.

Most have moved away from family and friends, and have made themselves at home with local host families in the Fox Valley area. They’re also new students in local high schools and community colleges.

Hockey, for many reasons, is unlike many other professional sports.

Kaneland comes up short against Benet

By CHRIS ROLLIN WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK – Kaneland’s boys soccer team assumed the role of underdog during the Class 2A Kaneland regional championship against Benet on Oct. 21.

The Knights bit into the Redwings’ hopes of a deep postseason run, taking a 1-0 lead at the half, but Benet rallied to end Kaneland’s bid for a huge upset, surviving with a 2-1 victory.

“We had nothing to lose and gave everything we had, and I’m sure they didn’t expect that,” Kaneland senior Angel Escontrias said. “Benet’s an amazing team, but we put up a great fight. It didn’t even look like they were much better than us.”

Benet (17-1-2) had been a Class 3A team but dropped down to 2A this postseason despite continuing to play a strong 3A schedule, which included ties or wins against Naperville North, Naperville Central, Neuqua Valley and Waubonsie Valley.

The Knights hung with the Redwings all game, becoming just the sixth team in 20 games to be within a goal or tied with Benet once the final buzzer sounded.

“I’m completely satisfied with the way we played today,” Kaneland coach Scott Parillo said. “You can’t play much better. That’s what a regional soccer game is supposed to be. It truly is. Five, 6 or 7-0 isn’t a regional championship, 2-1 is.”

The Knights (9-12-2) surprised the Redwings a bit when junior John McCaffrey scored with 12:08 left in the first half.

“They get one, a great play, a great shot by that kid, what a finish,” Benet coach Sean Wesley said. “That made it hard going into halftime, but I thought the wind and conditions helped them a bit and that switched in the second half.”

The game stayed at 1-0 for almost 20 minutes into the second half, despite Benet mounting the offensive pressure and challenging Kaneland’s back line and goalkeeper Hunter Smith, who came up with eight big saves.

“Hunter’s been great all year,” Parillo said. “He was great again today.”

A Smith save stopped a shot from Connor Mote, but the rebound was tapped in by Ben Kelly with 23:46 left to tie the game at 1-1.

Kaneland’s John McCaffrey tracks down the ball Oct. 19 in Maple Park during the Class 2A regional semifinal game against Glenbard South. The Knights moved on to the regional final Oct. 21 but fell against Benet.

Scoring chances proved especially difficult in the second half for the Knights, but it was an inability to clear the ball that ended up costing them.

Kelly scooped up a ball between a pair of defenders and sent the shot in for the game-winner with 17:33 remaining.

Kaneland’s Escontrias had scoring chances in the second half. He misfired high on a difficult 30-yard free kick and also took a nice pass from McCaffrey shortly after Benet scored the go-ahead goal, but Benet keeper Brian Gould made the save.

“Kaneland plays great soccer and is super well-coached,” Wesley said.

“Even though they were young and we had more seniors, they fought as hard as you can fight for high school players and their goalie played with confidence. We had chances, but didn’t capitalize until later.”

It was the final game for eight Kaneland seniors, although as many as 17 players who saw action this fall could return. The team received a postgame pep talk of sorts from Gene Mroz, who officiated the game and has been doing

Kaneland enjoys record-setting season ahead of playoffs

By CHRIS ROLLIN WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK – There was senior recognition, a conference title, record-breaking history and arguably the biggest and most boisterous Kaneland Rowdies student section of the season Oct. 20 in Maple Park.

Kaneland’s girls volleyball team swept Yorkville, 25-19, 27-25 to win the Northern Illinois Big 12 East Conference. It was the fourth consecutive year that the Knights or Foxes have won or shared the title.

The victory was No. 30 on the season for the Knights, breaking the record of 29 established in 2014.

“It’s incredible how this season has gone from winning our first tournament to keep on going and to get this,” Kaneland senior Alex Anderson said. “We kept going all year, then lost to Sycamore, but bounced back, won conference and broke a record and won on senior night. It’s just a great feeling.”

The Knights (30-4, 7-1 NIB 12) didn’t pull away from the Foxes in the first game until late. Senior Hannah Nauert (20 assists, 13 digs) had a lot to do with the late-scoring run, setting up sophomore Katelyn Jablonski for a kill to get it started while also hammering down a kill and a nifty tip kill.

“We’ve been working on that tip kill for a while now,” Knights coach Cyndi Violett said. “It was nice to see that go down.”

The Knights pulled ahead 20-16 and the Foxes never rebounded from that run.

The Foxes (27-8, 6-2) jumped to an 8-3 lead in the second game and it started to look like they’d force three games,

just like they did when Kaneland beat them earlier in the season.

They couldn’t sustain that early lead as Kaneland outscored them 7-2 to even it up at 10 points apiece. The teams went back and forth the rest of the way until the Knights pulled it out at the end.

“We just wanted to go out there, have fun and play our game,” Kaneland senior Jessie Weber said. “We really wanted this one and it’s all we focused on.”

Weber paced the Knights with eight kills.

A loss to Sycamore on Oct. 11, which snapped Kaneland’s 15-match winning streak, gave this match conference-title implications. If not for that upset by the Spartans, the Knights would’ve already had the school record for wins and would’ve wrapped up the title. Instead, this proved to be a huge match and the Knights were ready for it.

“The day after the Sycamore loss, we really stayed focused,” Nauert said.

“We all wanted it bad. We knew this game was important and we had the same drive and determination.”

Anderson, Nauert, Weber, Chloe Filipski, Jessica Nguyen and Cameron Wyant were recognized on senior night in a ceremony prior to the match.

“With the Rowdies tonight we felt great, unstoppable,” Anderson said.

“We’re going to go and work super hard now in practice to get that regional title because we haven’t gotten one a few years now.”

Despite missing playoffs, Kaneland football caps season with win

By CHRIS ROLLIN WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK – If Kaneland’s football team played the second half of its schedule as well as it played in the second quarter of its game against Ottawa on Oct. 21, the Knights likely would have qualified for the playoffs.

The Knights fell short of that goal, but they still finished their season with an impressive effort, blasting the Pirates 51-10 and snapping a four-game losing streak.

Both teams were sluggish in the first quarter, exchanging only field goals to get on the scoreboard, before the Knights lit it up in the second quarter.

Jonathan Alstott (15 carries, 152 yards) scored on a 15-yard run on

the first play of the quarter to get the Knights started.

On their next possession, Jack Douglas (5-of-15 passing, 103 yards) tossed a screen pass to Josh Marczuk that turned into a 51-yard touchdown.

Douglas connected with Marczuk again, this time a perfectly lofted 9-yard toss in the corner of the end zone to make it a 23-3 game.

“We were a little bit off with our passing game at the start and then we started running the ball,” Kaneland coach Tom Fedderly said. “Then we started to click a bit.”

The Knights (4-5) weren’t finished in the second quarter. Aided by an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the Pirates on fourth down and with time running out in the half, Douglas fired his third touchdown pass of the quar-

ter, a 5-yarder to Alex Moses that made it 30-3.

“We were just trying to run the clock down and run the ball,” Marczuk said. “[Alstott] did a good job, as well as Chaz [Shaw] of running the ball and opening thing up. That started getting things working out really well.”

A couple of senior playmakers joined in the fun in the second half as Matt Noel and Marcus Harper each had 6-yard touchdown runs. Sandwiched between the two was a 5-yard touchdown run from Shaw late in the third quarter.

The Kaneland defense was strong all night, yielding only one touchdown to the Pirates (1-8) and that came after the game had been broken wide open.

“It was a tough situation for our kids to play in, but they showed a lot

of character,” Fedderly said. “They played hard and wanted to finish the season off with a win.”

While the Knights bid farewell to their seniors, they’ll have a lot of weapons on offense coming back in 2017, with Douglas, Marczuk, Moses, Shaw and Alex Jones, among others, but there may not be much help coming up as the sophomore team only had one win this fall, against Ottawa.

“I think we can be a really good team next year,” Marczuk said. “We just have to put a lot of things together in the summer and we’ll see where we can go.”

Fedderly will certainly have a lot to worth with on offense.

“I think we’ve got seven or eight guys on offense coming back,” he said.

“So I’m really looking forward to that.”

The Chicago Steel’s Johnny Walker has a six-game goal-scoring streak, the longest in the United States Hockey League, in helping the Steel to a 9-0 record.

Chicago Steel’s Walker earns USHL honor; Cougars split pair vs. Ducks KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE The United States Hockey League announced on Oct. 24 that Chicago Steel right wing Johnny Walker was named CCM/USHL Forward of the Week for Week 5 for the period ending Oct. 23.

Walker’s current six-game goal-scoring streak is the longest in the USHL this season.

The Phoenix native tallied four points (three goals, assist) in Chicago’s three Week 5 victories, helping the Steel continue their best start in team history – 9-0-0-0 (18 points).

Walker has seven goals and two assists on the season.

Steel players have achieved weekly awards from the USHL in four of the first five weeks, including Ales Stezka, who was named CCM/USHL Goaltender of the Week for Week 4.

He also was Goaltender of the Week for Week 1, and Adam Karashik earned Defenseman

Chicago Cougars earn split against Ducks

The Chicago Cougars of the United States Premier Hockey League made the first of five straight road trips as they traveled to Wisconsin for games against the Dells Ducks on Oct. 22 and 23. The Ducks had won both previous games earlier this season.

After a scoreless first period Oct. 22, the Ducks went ahead

early in the second only to see Chicago’s Zeb Scheffler level the score later in the frame.

Cougars forward Andrew Van Dyke scored off a rebound late in the second for a 2-1 lead.

In the third, Chicago goalie Alex Jones turned away several quality Dells chances before Brennen Gestrich scored to cap a 3-1 Chicago win.

In the Oct. 23 game, Jones did his best to keep the Cougars within striking distance.

The Ducks outshot Chicago through two periods but had just a 2-0 lead to show for it.

Michael Helf brought Chicago to within 2-1 in the third, but the Ducks added an empty-net goal to seal a 3-1 win.

The Cougars hit the road again for a weekend series against the River Falls (Wis.) Renegades on Oct. 28 and 29.

Chicago doesn’t play at home at the Leafs Ice Center in West Dundee again until Dec. 3 and 4.

BURLINGTON – In the dash to state, Kaneland’s girls cross country team got off to a solid start at the Class 2A Burlington Central regional Oct. 22.

The Knights scored 104 points for third place in the nine-team field, which included Vernon Hills and Crystal Lake Central, both ranked in the top five in the state.

The Knights were led by freshman Rachel Richtman, who placed third with a time of 17:46. She finished behind Burlington Central senior Megan Safranski, who won her final race on her 2.94mile home course in 17:35, and second place Kayla Schiera of Sandwich (17:44).

“I just tried to stay close to the leaders,” Richtman said after running in a tightly bunched foursome at the front of the race for the first 2 miles. “I had a cold most of the week. I felt congested at the start but better as the race progressed and was able to move up into the top three at the finish.”

The No. 14-ranked Knights’ second runner, junior Andrea Wells, also battled cold symptoms during the race but managed to finish 22nd in 19:05.

Sophomore Grace Purcell (25th, 19:15), senior Becca Richtman (26th, 19:25) and sophomore Tessa Brennan (28th, 19:52) finished in a cluster to round out the scoring.

Senior Abby Shaw (35th, 20:32) and sophomore Emma Ball (45th, 21:04) also ran at the regional.

“Everyone ran solid races today and we moved on to the sectional,” Kaneland head coach Doug Ecker said.

Teams that finished in the top six at the Burlington Central, Sterling and Wood-

stock North regionals moved on to the Belvidere sectional, which will be run at 10 a.m.

Oct. 29. From there, only the top five teams advance to the state race the following weekend.

“We’ll need to have peak performances from everyone next weekend,” Ecker said. “So if we can get to the starting line with everyone healthy, that’s all we can ask for to have a chance to punch our tickets to [state].”

The Burlington Central regional race wasn’t quite as successful from a team perspective for Kaneland’s boys team, though there were still plenty of highlights.

Junior Matt Richtman provided one as he once again outdueled Sycamore’s Stephen Poorten, this time taking home the regional title. Richtman ran a 14:52 to finish a step ahead of Poorten (14:54) for the second straight race. Richtman also won at the Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference race Oct. 15.

“I felt really good today – even better than I did at conference,” said Richtman, who took the lead from a tightly bunched pack of six runners at the 2-mile mark and didn’t give it up the rest of the way to the finish line.

“I felt the pace slow down there and took the lead to keep it going,” he said.

“There’s no point in leading if you’re not going to force the pace.”

Behind Richtman were three other Kaneland runners who advanced to the sectional: freshman Daniel Occhipinti (24th 16:16), senior Andrew Kantola (28th, 16:30) and sophomore Aidan Lodwig (38th, 16:53).

Junior Peyton Heiser (39th, 16:56), sophomore Jacob Wielgos (40th, 16:58) and junior Henry Nosek (46th, 17:18) were just off the sectional qualifying pace.

Kaneland was seventh as a team (130 points), one spot back of moving on to the sectional.

St. Charles resident Kathy Matthews to retire from Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra

By VIOLET MARQUARDT editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – For Kathy Matthews of St. Charles, love and appreciation of music have always been a large part of her life. As a young girl, Matthews dreamed of taking piano lessons, but was never able to. From then on, she vowed to make music a part of her future children’s lives.

Matthew’s daughter, Sarah, began playing flute at the age of 4, and by age 6 was taking private lessons. Sarah continued to develop her skills, and, in her junior year of high school, auditioned for the Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra, and was offered a spot.

It prompted Matthews to begin working as a volunteer for the orchestra. And in 1999, Randal Swiggum, EYSO artistic director, offered her the position of managing the organization.

In that role, she oversees the program’s nine ensembles – managing publicity, development and staff operations. Matthews was influential in the Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra obtaining the Illinois Council of Orchestras’ 2001 Outstanding Marketing Program of the Year Award and subsequent honors, as well as arranging EYSO’s

After 17 years, Matthews will retire at the end of October and will be recognized at the orchestra’s Nov. 6 concert. She took time to chat more about her tenure at the orchestra with freelance writer Violet Marquardt.

The following is an edited version of their conversation.

Violet Marquardt: What motivated you

to begin working with EYSO? Kathy Matthews: I took my daughter, [Sarah], before her junior year of high school for an audition. I really wasn’t familiar with the group, but I saw an advertisement for them and thought she should try out. I volunteered while working as a substitute teacher, and then one day Randal Swiggum offered me the position of manager, although now it’s called executive director. I remember him saying to me, “This can be as little or as much as you want.”

Marquardt: How much time have you dedicated to the role over the years?

Matthews: It’s really a 24/7 job.

It’s interesting because we say that EYSO changes students’ lives, but it changes the adults’ lives, too. I’m going to miss that involvement.

Marquardt: What exactly did your position entail?

Matthews: I was in charge of all the operations, fundraising, marketing … now those have grown into separate positions, but in the beginning, I was doing it all.

Marquardt: How did EYSO change over the course of your 17 years?

Matthews: Together with Randal, the orchestra really grew both artistically and numerically. When I first started, we had two orchestras with 70 students. Now we have five orchestras with almost 400 students.

Marquardt: What is one experience that sticks out to you?

Matthews: Back 10 years ago, we took our orchestra to Scotland. I had never been overseas before. We had 90 students and 10 adults who went, and it was a great time. So, then I thought, “If I can get a whole orchestra overseas with instruments and everything, I can get myself overseas.” So I’ve been overseas several times to England and Scotland to study embroidery.

Marquardt: Does that mark your beginning in embroidery?

Matthews: I’ve been involved with embroidery almost my whole life. My grandmother taught me needlework as

I was also the area rep for the American Needlepoint Guild.

Matthews: I want to travel more to study. … I have lots of unfinished projects to work on. I also am a gardener and a member of the Pottawatomie Garden Club. I also have a 4-year-old granddaughter who’s playing violin, so she has a recital in the spring, which I will have the time to attend now.

Libraries offer essential oils classes

By STEFANIE FRAZIER editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – Adults who want to learn the scoop about essential oils can attend a class called Essential Oils 101 on Nov. 6 at the Sugar Grove Public Library.

The event will be from 3 to 4 p.m. in Meeting Room B, 125 S. Municipal Drive, Sugar Grove. The presenter is Lisa Zimmer, an essential oils educator for her business Lisa Zimmer Essential Oils & The Oil Dude.

The “dude” is Zimmer’s husband, Scott, who will also present.

Lisa Zimmer defined essential oils as natural aromatic compounds found in seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers and other parts of plants.

“They can lift mood, calm the senses, elicit powerful emotional responses and physical responses,” Zimmer said. “For example, if you have knee discomfort, you may apply soothing blend or peppermint essential oil to provide comfort and soothing relief to that area.”

Zimmer explained what makes this class fun.

“We get to experience the oils,” Zimmer said. “They get to smell them, try them.”

Note to readers

Essential Oils 101 class is set Nov. 6 at the Sugar Grove Public Library.

Lisa Zimmer, Essential Oils 101 presenter and co-owner of Essential Oils & The Oil Dude, said her findings have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and that essential oil products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.

Zimmer added that her husband is “very entertaining.”

“Our philosophy in life is to choose joy,” Zimmer said. “And so we love making people happy, love making people smile. And we incorporate that into everything that we do.”

Nearby, the Kaneville Public Library offers the same program led by doTerra essential oils wellness advocate Jeni Hinds. Kaneville Public Library director Lynda Fillipp said the program has been successful, with up to 15 people attending the events.

“For us, I was very pleased with it,” Fillipp said. “Our library in compar-

ison to the Elburn and Sugar Grove libraries is relatively smaller. … But we definitely had a good turnout.”

Fillipp has noticed the curiosity people have about these essential oils.

“There is a genuine interest among a lot of people who are looking at alternative ways for health benefits other than taking medications and stuff like that because there’s certainly a lot of health benefits to essential oils,” Fillipp said.

Genna Mickey, Adult Services manager for the Sugar Grove Public Library, said residents requested the new essential oils program.

“I’ve seen a great interest in this

topic,” Mickey said. “And so I’m excited that Lisa Zimmer is able to demystify essential oils and allow for questions about the right types and what to use essential oils for.”

Attendees will be able to try the top 10 essential oils like frankincense, lavender, lemon, melaleuca, oregano, peppermint, respiratory blend, soothing blend, digestive blend and protecting blend. They also will be able to take home some free samples and possibly win tailor-made oils.

Anyone interested in checking out the class can register at the library, call 630-466-4686 or visit www.sgpl.org.

“There is a shift in health and wellness toward natural and safe solutions,” Zimmer said. “And this is an excellent choice for that.”

Gardeners who didn’t see enough butterflies this past season might do well to note to plant certain colors, as well as native plants.

Learning from the season While the growing season is still fresh in your mind, jot down some notes to guide next year’s gardening decisions.

List favorite annuals that brightened the shade garden beautifully or performed like champs in sun-baked borders. If you finally found a flower in the perfect shade of coral to match the cushions on your garden bench, don’t trust the name to memory. Did your containers look better than ever before?

Sketch the design and note the plants.

If impatiens were leveled by downy mildew, you’ll want to avoid planting walleriana types of impatiens in the same spot, if at all. Were butterfly-loving annuals planted without considering the cosmetic damage by feeding caterpillars? A note will remind you to

LEARNING TO GROW Diana Stoll plant nearby to draw attention away from unsightly foliage.

In the perennial border, recall which plants didn’t perform as expected and plan to replace them.

Think back on color in the garden.

Were there plants blooming in spring, summer and fall? Or do you need to add some seasonal selections?

Jot down late-blooming perennials that grew too tall as a reminder to cut them back in June. Do some perennials need dividing next year? Perennials growing too large for their allotted

space or once bloomed beautifully, but now fail to flower are good candidates for division.

Make a quick sketch of the vegetable garden noting the locations vegetables were planted to prevent planting the same crop in the same place next year. Crop rotation manages soil fertility and reduces disease and insect troubles.

If you grew the best tasting tomato ever, record its name. It’s also important to note which plants disappointed, so you’ll choose different varieties.

Recording the type and timing of any disease or insect problems will help you notice them earlier and curb the use of pesticides.

We have all learned lessons the hard way: bargain plants that ran

rampant across our gardens; flimsy cages tomatoes overpowered as they grew; or shade cast on peppers by sweet corn planted on their west side.

Documenting mistakes reduces the chance we’ll make them again.

Using your season summary, spend the winter seeking information and inspiration. There are a number of resources, including books, magazines, catalogs and the University of Illinois Extension website, at http://web. extension.illinois.edu.

Diana Stoll is a University of Illinois Extension master gardener for Kane County. Call the extension office at 630-584-6166 for more information.

Senior Chloe Eubanks (Calpurnia) (from left), sophomore Michael Holstine (Jem Finch) and senior Evann Meiers (Scout Finch) are pictured rehearsing for a scene in the West Aurora High School Drama Troupe 2013 fall play “To Kill a Mockingbird.

West Aurora High to present ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com The West Aurora High School Drama Troupe 2013 will present its fall play, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” at 7 p.m. Nov. 17, 18 and 19 in the West Aurora High School auditorium, 1201 W. New York St., Aurora. Tickets are $8 and can be purchased online at www. sd129tickets.org or at the door.

Based on Harper Lee’s classic novel, “To Kill a Mockingbird” follows Scout, a young, wide-eyed girl in a quiet, southern town who is about to experience dramatic events that will affect the rest of her life. She and her brother, Jem, are being raised by their widower father, Atticus, and their strong-minded housekeeper, Calpurnia. Scout is fascinated with the sensitively revealed people of her small town but, from the start, there’s a rumble of thunder just under the calm surface of the life here.

Cast list ■ Jean Louise Finch: Megan Pawlak ■ Scout: Evann Meiers ■ Jem: Michael Holstine ■ Atticus: Coleman Farrell ■ Calpurnia: Chloe Eubanks ■ Miss Maudie: Melanie Garcia ■ Miss Stephanie: Beth Bunnetto ■ Mrs. Dubose: Anna Chaurize ■ Mr. Nathan Radley: David Capp ■ Arthur (Boo) Radley: Trevor Frueh ■ Dill: Lionel Hernandez ■ Heck Tate: Fernando Chapa ■ Judge Taylor: James McCann ■ Reverend Sykes: Josh Thomas ■ Mayella Ewell: Kelsey Harrison

me since I was 11,” Pauley said. “I have read it at least 25 times, and I learn something new from it each time. I

needed to direct it at some point.”

Her second reason for choosing the show was to pay homage to Harper Lee, who passed away this spring.

“Finally, and most importantly,” Pauley said, “I believe the world we currently live in needs desperately to be reminded of this story. The unrest, the violence, the intolerance that is presented in the media every day needs to be reminded that somewhere in our lives there are people who do the right thing simply because it is right. We need the integrity of Atticus, the precociousness of Scout and the mockingbird of Tom.” Audience members can expect to laugh, cry, and leave the auditorium with a heightened sense of unity and a full, but heavy heart. The show has a PG rating due to some difficult content. The adaptation is dramatized

by Christopher Sergel and is produced by special arrangement with The Dramatic Publishing Co. of Woodstock.

Its base is a chocolate sponge cake that is soaked with a mix of condensed milk, evaporated milk and heavy cream. Then it’s topped with a 16-ounce can of sweet, creamy dulce de leche for added flavor.

The cookbook also allocates space for primers on techniques, such as tempering chocolate, whipping cream and eggs and assembling a cake.

CHOCOLATE CUATRO LECHES CAKE Makes one 9x13-inch cake

KANE WEEKEND |

“There’s Always Room for Chocolate: Recipes from Brooklyn’s The Chocolate Room,” (Rizzoli), a new book by Naomi Josepher, Jon Payson and Georgia Freedman, is full of exciting, delectable-sounding recipes, one more tempting than the next.

Take a gander at recipes and photos of the Chocolate-Dipped Coconut Macaroons, Chocolate Pecan Pie, Frozen White Chocolate Raspberry Mousse and Chocolate Almond Flan “There’s – each one a winner.

Always But probably the Room for most enticing of all Chocolate” is one that goes the extra mile with Tres Leches or “three milks,” a popular Latin American dessert. This updated version is dubbed Chocolate Cuatro Leches Cake; that’s right: four kinds of milk go into this memorable treat.

Dr. Ian Smithton (played by Rhys Read) and Juliana (Lori Rohr) fight about what happened to their daughter.

Albright Theatre to explore ‘The Other Place’ KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – “The Other Place,” a drama about love, loss, memory and perception, will open Oct. 28 at The Albright Theatre in Batavia.

Written by Sharr White, it is described as a deeply insightful play, according to a news release from The Albright Theatre Company. The story follows Juliana Smithton, a successful neurologist and researcher whose life turns chaotic when her husband files for divorce, her relationship with her daughter crumbles and her health falls into question.

Bit by bit, the brilliantly written play unfolds as Juliana’s facts blur

with fiction, her past collides with her present, and the elusive truth begins to surface, the release stated.

“I was drawn to direct this show when I read it because of the way the story is told,” director Jennifer Ring of Batavia stated in the release. “It’s not just laid out for you in a straight line. Instead, the script is a fast-paced blending of moments where memories of the past crash into the present. I was drawn to the challenge of bringing the show to life and making those transitions happen live on stage in a way that the audience can follow.”

Lori Rohr of Palatine takes on the role of Juliana Smithton; Rhys Read of Des Plaines plays Juliana’s husband,

Dr. Smithton; and rounding out the cast playing multiple roles each are Jess Santrock of Naperville as The Woman and Tom Holtquist of Montgomery as The Man. The show is supported by producer Shelly Rolf of Geneva, stage manager Jennifer Richardson of Batavia, and projectionist Cass Hanlin of Batavia.

“Being able to work intimately with a small cast, and one that is as talented as this group, is what makes me want to direct,” Ring said. “This is a challenging script because it jumps back and forth in time. The cast has to be able to jump from one emotion to the next without any time for transition.

I was very lucky in finding the right people to take on these characters.”

Add whole grains for healthier diet Dear Dr. K: I know I should be eating

more whole grains, but for years I’ve been eating white bread, white rice and white pasta. I don’t know where to begin the switch to whole grains. Can you help?

Dear Reader: Like you, many of my patients and I are making the switch to whole grains. Why? Diets rich in whole grains are linked with a reduced risk of many medical conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, obesity and certain cancers.

Whole-grain kernels are essentially plant seeds that have been removed from their inedible husks. All the grains we eat now started as whole grains, but we’ve stripped them down and lost some of the nutrition.

Whole grains include unrefined versions of familiar foods like wheat, corn, rice, oats, barley and rye.

Whole grains may take a little getting used to, especially if you’re accustomed to fluffy white rice and instant oatmeal. But they can reward you with more complex flavor and a more interesting plate.

For example, I haven’t had white rice in an Asian restaurant in a long time – the nutty flavor of brown rice is so much tastier. The following tips may help you get started: • Start with the familiar. Switch to a whole-grain version of something you already eat. For example, try brown or wild rice instead of white rice. Or try whole-grain pasta instead of white pasta.

There are now several brands of wholegrain pasta in supermarkets that taste at least as good to me as white pasta. And my morning toast is always whole grain: It just tastes better that store-bought white bread.

• Go gradually. Add whole grains a little at a time. For example, try mixing some brown rice into your white rice or replacing half your white pasta with whole-grain

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff pasta. Substitute whole-grain cereals for quick-cooking varieties.

• Take shortcuts. Whole grains take longer to cook. Speed the process by soaking them first. (Don’t try this with pasta, though!)

• Rethink snacks. Surprise! Popcorn is a whole grain, too. It’s a great substitute for chips and pretzels. I have mid-evening popcorn once or twice a week. If I pour some olive oil over the kernels before popping them, I don’t need to add butter after they’re popped. (You do need to add some salt, though.)

• Be adventurous. Quinoa, in three colors, is now easy to find. And the so-called “ancient grains” – including amaranth, bulgur, farro, Kamut, millet, spelt, sorghum and teff – are also becoming familiar on grocery shelves and in restaurants.

• Don’t be fooled. When you’re buying packaged baked goods or cereals, look for “whole grain” on the label. “Multigrain” means only that the product is made from more than one grain, not that those grains are whole.

Finally, be assured that cooking whole grains does not involve long and complicated instructions. Combine the dry grain and liquid in a pot with water or broth, bring it to a boil, then simmer until the liquid is absorbed. It’s easy to eat healthy – and it tastes delicious.

Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

PUZZLE SOLUTION

CROSSWORD PUZZLE ANSWERS

Sister in New York Dear Big Sister: If your brother is a junior and

still taking freshman classes, he belongs back in school. He may be lazy, but he may also have learning disabilities. If he doesn’t get the help he needs to earn a diploma, he’ll be virtually unemployable by the time he’s 18. Your mother should visit his school and talk to his teachers and the principal about this. As it stands, your brother may be considered “truant,” which is against the law.

Dear Abby: I am 47 years old and date younger, usually very attractive women. I live in New York City, so they tend to be models. I haven’t been married because I feel like I haven’t met “the one.”

I have been with one or two women who could have been the one, only to find out my feelings weren’t reciprocated. But more often I don’t feel an emotional/intellectual connection, so I end the relationship.

While I might be able to resolve that issue by dating women in their late 30s and 40s, I’m more physically attracted to younger women.

Because I don’t look my age, I have yet to reach the point where I look “too old” for women in their 20s to be attracted.

Do I continue to follow my male instincts and date younger women, or should I date women closer to my age to whom I may not be as physically attracted, knowing there’s still no guarantee I’ll meet someone with whom I’ll find a stronger connection? – Likes ’Em

Younger Dear Likes: Forgive me for answering your

question with a question, but what do you really want in a relationship? The problem with youth is that it doesn’t last. As the years go by, we get older – if we’re lucky. That’s why it’s time to start listing your priorities, with the help of a licensed mental health professional, if necessary. (There are many well-qualified ones in your city.) I urge you to do it soon, before you start looking like your date’s rich uncle.

While marriage may not be for everyone, it’s a known fact that married men live longer.

Write Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Dr. Wallace: I own a motorcycle and enjoy the freedom a bike can give. It’s the ultimate high to be cruising, wind in your hair, observing nature’s beauty. Why should I be restricted by wearing a safety helmet?

If safety helmets are such a good deal, why don’t all people wear one when in a car? Many automobile drivers and passengers suffer fatal head injuries. – Zeke,

Phoenix, Ariz.

Zeke: Automobile riders who

wear lap and shoulder belts stand a great chance of not having their heads battered. Safety is greatly improved in automobiles that are equipped with air bags. Unfortunately, seat belts and air bags are not available for bikers. Please read the following letter from Terri. I hope her letter will convince you to reconsider your position regarding safety helmets: Dr. Wallace: I was born in the United States, but both of my parents were born in Korea. I learned to speak Korean and was brought up with a strict Korean philosophy, especially when it comes to education. I attend an all-girls private high school. I do have above average intelligence and all of my grades so far have been A’s.

My parents have set aside two hours every school day from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. for review and study.

For my parents, my grades are extremely important. I would be very worried if I didn’t get all A’s.

I’m in the eleventh grade and I would like to play school sports (basketball, volleyball, badminton, etc.) Practice would be from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. The sports I would like to play would be basketball during the winter and volleyball in the fall. My parents are not sure that playing sports would not hurt my grades. Please give me your opinion. My parents

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace gave me permission to write to you – Nameless, San Francisco,

Calif.

Nameless: The University of

Michigan conducted a study of 700 high school valedictorians, the majority who had 4.00 (all A’s) grade-point averages and found that 87 percent took part in at least one extra-curricular activity, while 76 percent were involved in two. Academically gifted students have varied interests and usually find a way to be involved in activities and still excel academically. All colleges and universities look favorably on students who participate in activities. Such participation enhances the academic excellence.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 20 and my guy is 21. I love him more than any human being can love another.

I want us to get married, but he says that he is not sure he is in love with me. His parents and my parents think that we are an ideal couple and they are pushing for us to get married. What do you think? I’m positive that after we are married I’d get him to love me. I’m a very persuasive individual. – Nameless, Louis-

ville, Ky. Nameless: Marriage is a total

commitment of the husband and wife to love, cherish and honor each other until death separates them. Even when both of the marriage partners love each other, it takes a total effort by both to bring about harmony, joy and happiness. Marriage is a 24-houra-day, 365-day-a-year commitment – from husband to wife, and wife to husband.

Both sets of parents are not doing you and your “guy” a favor by pushing for a marriage. Do not consider a marriage until you are 100% convinced that he truly loves you as much as you love him.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 18 and my boyfriend is 19 and we have discussed the possibility of getting married, but one thing bothers me. His dad is in prison and so is his dad’s sister for the same crime. My mother said I shouldn’t get serious with this boy because there is a good chance that our children could be criminals because of inherited traits. Is this true? – Angela, Bata-

via, Illinois Angela: Your mother is misin-

formed. People are not born with criminal traits. Crime is a learned behavior.

Dr. Wallace: Kenny and I had been dating for more than a year, but we broke up because we both wanted to date others. Recently, I’ve been dating a guy and I like him a lot. Now Kenny is calling me every day begging me for us to get back together again. I like Kenny as a friend, but the romance we once had is gone forever. I won’t date him again. Lately, I have been refusing to take his phone calls because he keeps calling even after I’ve told him not to call me anymore since I will not be changing my mind. He keeps calling and he tells my mom to have me call him “when I find time.” Now my mom thinks that it’s rude of me that I do not return his calls. Your opinion, please. – Nameless, Seattle, Wash.

Nameless: Since you have told Kenny repeatedly not to call you, you have no obligation to return his unwanted calls. In fact, it is better that you don’t. Eventually, Kenny will get your message.

Dear Abby: I’m DEAR ABBY 18 and a freshman in college.

Jeanne My 16-yearPhillips old brother is supposed to be a junior in high school, but he’s still taking freshman classes. He has gone to school maybe twice this year. He just gave up and dropped out.

All he does is stay home, sleep and text all day. It makes me angry because I don’t work right now, but I clean, cook, do laundry and take care of my younger siblings while he does absolutely nothing.

Mom has given up on him. She begs him to go to school and get an education, but he yells at her and tells her he doesn’t care and he’ll just become a hobo. I don’t know what to say to him to get it through his head that he needs to finish high school. What would you do? – Big

I don’t like wearing a safety helmet

Learn eight ways to up your laundry game at http://wapo.st/2aQFbGl.

Giving dryer lint brush the brushoff

We spoke to Granger and Gorenchan about what other mistakes people might be making when it comes to dryers. Several of their suggestions address the need to monitor that pesky dryer byproduct: lint.

Not preparing clothes for drying

Check pockets and remove everything. Pens, crayons and lip balms could melt or leak all over your clothes. Paper clips or other metal objects might cause damage to the inside of the dryer. Zip up any zippers.

The teeth on an open zipper can snag clothes, Gorenchan said.

Neglecting to sort

Don’t just jam several wash loads together in the dryer. Sorting is as important in drying as it is in washing. Don’t dry sweaters or lingerie with rough fabrics such as jeans, as the rubbing could cause pilling,

Don’t know what a dryer lint brush is? Shame on you. Of course, you should all be cleaning your lint traps between each and every dryer use. (It’s as important as brushing your teeth.) But periodically, it is recommended that you use a lint brush to dislodge and remove lint that the screen may not have captured.

Remove the lint trap and use a long, thin flexible brush to dislodge stray lint, and follow up with a vacuuming, Granger said. You can find a dryer lint brush for less than $10 at Sears.

Not paying attention to vent pipe

Monitor your dryer vent pipe for accumulation of lint. Buildup will affect airflow and prevent your dryer from operating at maximum efficiency and may create a risk for dryer fires.

Granger recommends having pipes cleaned every six to 12 months, depending on how frequently you use the dryer. You can hire a professional or

do it yourself using a vacuum. Ideally, your dryer vent tubing should be made of a solid material, such as sheet metal, with a short distance between the dryer and the exit wall. Flexible accordion piping can accumulate lint more rapidly and is more difficult to clean.

Not cleaning lint screen and moisture sensors

The frequent use of dryer sheets can cause a chemical coating to build up on your lint screen and on moisture sensors in the dryer drum. Wipe down the sensors, the two metal bar strips inside the dryer drum, with a towel and a bit of mild soap. Granger said it’s important to regularly wash the lint screen under a faucet, scrubbing gently with a little mild dishwashing soap on a cloth or toothbrush.

Wipe and then air-dry before you reinstall it.

Ignoring area under, around dryer

Dryers pull air from the surrounding area. Keep the floor around a dryer clear and clean, Gorenchan said.

Regular dusting or vacuuming can get rid of clumps of lint that have ended up behind the dryer and also turn up long-lost socks.

Today’s dryers are loaded with sophisticated features such as moisture sensors, wrinkle shields and steam cycles. But many consumers are making very basic mistakes that affect how they work.

So start by reading your appliance user manual. Don’t just plug in your dryer and start using it, said Chris Granger, vice president of Sears Home Services. There are many features and settings to help you dry your pants and shirts without shrinking or fading them and to have them come out virtually wrinkle-free.

Check the fabric care labels on your clothes, said Corinne Gorenchan, Whirlpool’s product development manager for fabric care. They will tell you whether the garment can be machine-dried and at what temperature.

Although you might see college students cramming as many clothes as they can into a dryer and slamming the door shut, the pros say you really shouldn’t fill it more than halfway full.

Otherwise, your clothes won’t be able to move around, will take a really long time to dry and will come out wrinkled.

Granger said. A black cotton T-shirt may shrink and fade if you choose high heat; it’s better to dry things like that at cooler temperatures, so always check the label.

RELEASE DATE: 10/23/2016

Andrew Mason, the founder and former CEO of Groupon, said, “All the trends show that email usage among the younger cohorts of internet users is declining. Whether it will take five or 30 years for email to go extinct, I’m not sure.”

I find it hard to believe that email will become extinct. But in bridge, despite the evidence of this deal, it feels as if the penalty double has become extinct, except when the opponents are clearly sacrificing.

What is North’s double in this auction? How can the defenders defeat three hearts doubled after West leads the club king?

When each of the first three players bids a different suit, double by the fourth hand is called Snapdragon.

It shows length in the fourth suit (at least five cards) and tolerance (commonly honor-doubleton) for partner’s suit. If instead fourth hand bids his suit, it denies help for partner.

Note that East-West did well not to go to the four-level, where they would have lost four tricks: three spades and one heart or, more likely, two spades, a spade ruff by South and one heart.

West’s penalty double was aggressive, but he knew his side had the balance of power.

After West led the club king (East signaled with the eight) and played another round, the spotlight was on East. If he had continued with a high club, South would have ruffed high (West would have thrown a spade), drawn two rounds of trumps, and played three rounds of spades, discarding a diamond, to get home.

Instead, East accurately cashed his diamond king and diamond queen before leading the third club, which promoted a trump trick for West.
