Talking journalism with North students

SUBSCRIPTIONS Thursday: $2/issue Basic weekly rate: $2 Basic annual price: $104 To subscribe, make a payment or discuss your delivery, contact Subscriber Services.

During February, members of the Northern Illinois Newspaper Association board try to get out to classrooms to speak with journalism students.

As a member of the NINA board, I had the pleasure of speaking Feb. 15 to students who produce the Stargazer newspaper at St. Charles North High School. Of course, I also was wearing my hat as editor of the Kane County Chronicle, Elburn Herald and Sugar Grove Herald.

I had the students ask me some prepared questions. I also gave them information about the annual NINA scholarship. (Learn more about the scholarship at ninaonline.org.)

The following is an edited version of my conversation with the students.

Kane County Farm Bureau sponsors annual Check-Out Challenge

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com Like most people, Christine J. Sobek has gone grocery shopping.

Despite those experiences, Waubonsee Community College’s president had never pushed around a grocery cart and hurriedly filled it like she did the morning of Feb. 20.

Sobek competed in a five-minute, nonperishable grocery shopping spree at the Batavia Jewel-Osco to benefit the Marie Wilkinson Food Pantry in Aurora. Elgin Sen. Cristina Castro competed alongside her for the F.I.S.H Food Pantry in Carpentersville. Actually, they did it for seven minutes, as the participants were awarded two bonus minutes.

“It was actually a little more difficult than you think because the time went by so quickly,” Sobek said. “It was a lot of fun though. I was fortunate to have a great partner in Diane Renner from the Marie Wilkinson Food Pantry to give me specific directions.

We were looking to fill with items that they needed, like bottled juices, peanut butter and jelly.”

Sobek was more than happy to participate.

“Some of my colleagues had done it, so it was an honor to be asked to be here,” she said. “It’s such a great cause, and I had a lot of fun with the senator.”

She was able to help a food pantry within the Waubonsee Community College school district, so the families of some students will benefit.

“We know there is an area of need

Sandy Bressner sbressner@shawmedia.com

there in Aurora,” she said. “We wanted to make sure we were supporting one of the [pantries] in the area.”

Everyone proved to be a winner.

Castro collected $1,024.37 in food items, while Sobek filled multiple carts for a total of $945.12.

The shopping spree was sponsored by the Kane County Farm Bureau, which has donated tens of thousands of dollars in groceries to local pantries.

It complements its Harvest For All program, where farmers and non-farmers contribute crop proceeds, cash and inkind donations to food pantries.

“We’re glad to do it,” Kane County Farm Bureau President Joe White said.

“They’re able to have some fun while replenishing some of their supplies.”

Mary Graziano, president of the

F.I.S.H Food Pantry, accompanied Castro, whizzing up and down the aisles.

“This was the first time I’ve done one of these, and it was a lot of fun. It was wonderful,” she said. “It’s also nice to have the notoriety, so people realize that there are food pantries in need out there.”

Graziano said that F.I.S.H. feeds more than 30,000 people a year and that the pantry is constantly replenishing its inventory.

“After the holidays is always tough, and so is the summer,” she said. “We can get through the holidays, but then we get to summer and so many kids need breakfast and lunch because they’re no longer getting that in the schools. Everything we get helps.”

Renner said that her pantry is more

in need now than ever before since they opened a second pantry on the eastside of Aurora.

“Our food inventory depletes a lot faster than it used to,” she said. “We want to make sure we have enough for all the families in need, and we’re seeing more and more, especially the elderly.”

Jewel-Osco Director Gus Eliopoulos said his store was happy to host the event once again.

“It’s great fun for a great cause, and we always prepare for it and have everybody get involved and make sure everyone is having fun,” he said. “I’d like to thank the community and all that were involved. It’s always a win-win. It impacts a lot of people. We donate food four days a week, so we are able to help a lot of families in need. We’re happy to do it.”

Curt Karas to remain on ballot as assessor candidate

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com Judge M. Katherine Moran affirmed the decision by the Sugar Grove Township Electoral Board to allow Sugar Grove Township assessor candidate Curt Karas to remain on the ballot for the April 4 election.

Moran made the decision in Geneva on Feb. 16.

“For this office, [Karas] is qualified to run for this position,” she said. “He did what he was required to do, and it’s the fundamental right for the people to vote for the

assessor of their choice. He has satisfied all of his requirements.”

Scott Jesseman, president of Sugar Grove Drainage District 1, objected to the nominating papers as submitted by Karas. Jesseman wasn’t in attendance for the hearing Feb. 16 but was represented by attorney Sean Conway, who argued on his behalf.

Conway reasoned that Karas’ papers were not filed appropriately, and thus he was not qualified for the position. The biggest debate came down to Karas’ Certificate of Educational Qualifications from the Illinois Department of Revenue. Karas didn’t file them at the same time that he submitted his other nomination papers.

Conway argued it was a prerequisite for running for the position. He then asked Moran to reverse the Electoral Board’s decision and remove Karas from the board.

Attorney Andrew Smith, representing Karas, said his client had met all requirements in filing paperwork, including doing so within the required time frame of Dec. 12 to 19.

While Karas didn’t file his Certificate of Educational Requirements at the same time as his other papers, Smith said he didn’t have to do so as long as he filed them before the deadline of Dec. 19.

“If you want to run in a race, you have to prove that you are qualified,

and [Karas] did that,” Smith said. “If he wasn’t qualified and didn’t complete the required courses, he never would’ve been certified, but he did everything that he needed to do, including getting all the paperwork filed within the right time frame.”

Karas doesn’t know whether Jesseman will continue to fight the ruling, but he’s ready to move on and begin campaigning.

“I was very happy with the judge’s decision to affirm the electoral board’s decision,” Karas said. “I want to move on from this and be the best assessor that I can be and to start campaigning.

If I’m fortunate to get elected to office, I’m going to do the best that I can.”

School board candidates take part in forum

Get to know Brianna Stephens

By TARAH THORNE editorial@kcchronicle.com

Brianna Stephens of Sugar Grove was working at The Corner Grind in Elburn when she answered questions for News Editor Tarah Thorne.

Thorne: Did you grow up in the area?

Stephens: I grew up in Batavia.

Newcomers Aaron Lawler and Noah Little and board members Pedro Rivas and Shana Sparber are vying for the three open positions on the Kaneland Board of Education.

Veronica Bruhl, who is serving as the board’s vice president, has elected not to run.

The election is set for April 4.

Lawler, Little, Rivas and Sparber participated in a candidates forum Feb. 16 at Harter Middle School, giving them an opportunity to talk about their backgrounds and what they’ll bring to the board and allowing them to answer a handful of questions.

Rivas, who lives in Sugar Grove, said he’s been a member of the community for 24 years and has been humbled to serve on the board for the past 3 1/2 years.

His two sons have attended school in the district, and he’s been involved with the Financial Advisory Committee, Boy Scouts of America and Sugar Grove Park District.

“I embrace everyone’s opinions in this volunteer position,” he said. “It

does take away from family time, but I like giving back to the community.

Yes, my friends have asked if I had my head examined if I want to continue this, and yes I do. I hope to receive your support, so vote for Pedro in the upcoming election.”

Sparber joined the board in October, replacing longtime board member Cheryl Krauspe, who resigned in September.

The Maple Park resident has two daughters attending middle school and another at the high school.

“I understand the issues in looking forward and hope to continue to find ways to do even more,” she said. “I’m an accountant with a finance background, and I can draw on that for the board. I’m always looking for ways to improve, and Kaneland 20/20 defines those goals. I’m looking forward to that the next few years.”

Originally from Minnesota, Little has been living in Sugar Grove for the past 10 years. He has children at Mc-

Dole and Harter. He’s worked in public education for 19 years as an elementary school teacher.

“My background in education will allow me to serve Kaneland with the highest quality for our students,” he said. “I’m committed to the success of the district. Not just for my own kids, but other kids.”

Little has served on the Kaneland Finance Advisory Committee for three years. With an understanding of budgets and finances that run the district, he believes it makes sense to pursue a seat on the board.

Lawler lives in Montgomery with his wife and two young children. After spending 11 years at Plainfield Central High School as a teacher, he’s been a professor at Waubonsee Community College for the past five years.

“I’ve been involved in negotiations with contracts and filled a lot of volunteer positions,” he said. “As a board member, I understand that our students come first and foremost in any decision we make. I know our job is to supervise and evaluate our superintendent, our principals, our teachers, our paraprofessionals, everyone who works with students.”

Lawler is a doctoral candidate at Concordia University and is set to graduate in 2019.

Millie’s Pet Sitting, The Catering Gourmets close

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com

Thorne: What do you like to do in your free time?

Stephens: I like to hang out with my dogs and my other animals.

News to your phone

SUGAR GROVE – Millie has hung up her leash.

After 13 years in Sugar Grove, Millie Molitor closed her Millie’s Pet Sitting & More business at the end of 2016.

Molitor had provided daily visits, walking, house sitting, vacation care, playtime, exercise and more for the pets of Sugar Grove-area residents since February 2004.

“I know I’m going to miss it because it will always be a passion of mine,” she said. “But after doing it for this long, and seven days a week, I had to make the hard decision, and I just decided that the time was right.”

Molitor now has more free time, although she knows she’ll miss the different pets that were under her care.

“I’m 52, so I’m not putting my foot in the grave, although I did just have foot surgery,” she said. “I know my husband likes me being home to make dinner. We’ll see what my next chapter is when we get some nice weather.”

Molitor is quite active but said she won’t return to the same business.

“I know I’m going to miss it because it will always be a passion of mine. But after doing it for this long, and seven days a week, I had to make the hard decision, and I just decided that the time was right.”

Millie Molitor Owner of Millie’s Pet Sitting & More who closed her business after 13 years

She’ll likely be doing something in the Sugar Grove area.

“Nothing will ever meet my expectations for fulfillment as [pet care has] because it was truly rewarding every day,” she said. “I got to meet some of the greatest people, and I’m an avid animal lover. The best part was the people and the animals. It was just pure joy with the cats and the dogs, the guinea pigs, and all the other furry critters.

It was so rewarding, and nothing could exceed that.”

Molitor’s business wasn’t the only longtime, popular business to shut its doors in Sugar Grove at the end of last year.

The Catering Gourmets, which had provided catering for countless dinner parties, corporate events, holiday gatherings, weddings and showers, re-

tired the spatulas in December after 10 years.

Longtime employee Denise Neeley, who had been there since day one, doesn’t know what she’ll do next, but said she is extremely pleased with their accomplishments.

“It’s very sad because it was my favorite job in the whole world,” Neeley said. “We really made good, fresh food.

I’m going to miss it.”

Co-owners Janet and Jerry Lagerloef decided it was time to retire from the catering business.

Jerry Lagerloef continues to work as an airline pilot.

“The business is for sale, so it could still end up being a catering kitchen or whatever,” Neeley said. “I’m not sure what will happen to it. I just know I’ll miss it.”

I was excited to see balcony access as I arrived to photograph the wrestling sectional at Conant High School in Hoffman Estates recently. I love getting a bird’s-eye view.

So when it was Joe Ruffino’s turn to wrestle in the championship match for St. Charles East, I quickly made a few “safe” photos from the floor and then ran up the stairs to the balcony to get some “from above” photos.

Some of our area’s more charismatic wildlife are putting on quite a show this winter. It isn’t hard to find bald eagles, in all their majesty, soaring along the Fox River. (Boy Scout Island in St. Charles is one reliable location, as is the Gail Borden Public Library in Elgin and Violet Patch Park in Oswego.)

Meanwhile, mute swans, a nonnative but undoubtedly eye-catching species, repeatedly have been spotted paddling along the river south of South Elgin, especially in the area of Taly Park on Tuscola Avenue.

But while these big animals are making big impressions wherever they fish, flap or float, some very small critters have been busy, too.

And their accomplishments are just as impressive – maybe even more so.

Take, for instance, the work of Eumenes, the potter wasps.

As adults, these guys rarely rate a second look, unless you’re someone either inordinately fond, or afraid, of wasps. Their narrow-waisted bodies are dark, with lighter colored markings that vary in color and quantity depending on species. Their small size – 1/2 to 3/4 inches in length – adds to their ability to avoid detection.

As larvae, potter wasps are even less obvious. To have even an outside shot of seeing one, you first of all need to be in the right habitat – namely woodland edges or shrubby fields, but also gardens and agricultural areas. You also have to be moving somewhat slowly, while paying careful attention to the twigs and plant stems you pass.

Oh, and you’ll need X-ray vision.

As luck would have it, my friend and co-worker Jill Voegtle meets two of those three requirements. In her work as a restoration ecologist, she’s out among the plants just about every day, planting, picking and plucking. And pruning.

Just the other day, armed with her trusty and razor-sharp Felcos, Jill was trimming the dwarf honeysuckle out in front of Hickory Knolls in St. Charles when she made an interesting discovery: muddy lumps stuck to the branches.

OPINIONS |

Pondering the potter wasp and its role in gardens

Photo provided

The delicate clay pot of the potter wasp graces a stem of dwarf honeysuckle growing near the Hickory Knolls Discovery Center in St. Charles.

Careful pruning of twigs and stems will preserve these and other sorts of egg cases, and help ensure future generations of beneficial insects in gardens and home landscapes.

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto At first unsure of what she was looking at, she soon noticed that the mud was more than just random lumps. Each one was exquisitely crafted, as if shaped by tiny hands, and bore a tiny neck with a tiny lid. But who, or what, was responsible for creating these intricate works? Fairies?

Sprites?

As it turns out, rather than tiny hands, the structures were formed by tiny claws and mandibles. And each held a tiny treasure inside.

At lunchtime Jill and I clicked through our favorite online insect field guide, BugGuide.net, and soon learned all kinds of cool things about her finds, the brood cells, or egg cases, of potter wasps.

Like six-legged artisans, females of the species collect water and mix it with dry soil particles to create the medium in which they work. Each little pot takes hundreds of trips to water and soil sources, the female depositing mud pellet after mud pellet until at last the chamber is ready for the pièce de résistance – an egg, suspended with care at the end of fine thread.

But the wonder doesn’t end there. The true value, in human terms, of the potter wasp’s contribution comes with the next step. That egg will soon yield a young, and very hungry, wasp larva. It will need food to grow, so mama wasp makes sure it has plenty. She provisions each separate pot with a good quantity – as many as 11, researchers (or people with X-ray eyes) say – of caterpillars and/or beetle larvae.

As wasps are known to do,

she injects each morsel with a paralyzing but nonlethal dose of venom. In this way, the food stays fresh and the little wasp is ensured of an ample supply of, well, grub.

Immobilized and eaten alive is not a good fate, for sure, for those prey items. But what’s bad for them is good for gardens and plants, in general.

Potter wasps are considered beneficial because of all the leaf-, stem- and root-munching insects, including cankerworms, they collect.

This past fall, I repeatedly heard people muttering the phrase, “Wasps are jerks.”

More often than not, they were referring to yellowjackets, those ground-dwelling wasps that, indeed, have a tendency to sting first and ask questions later.

But the fact is, most wasps do more good than harm. Paper wasps, bald-faced hornets, mason wasps, ichneumons,

braconids and on down the line use varying methods to prey upon or parasitize insects that might otherwise overpopulate an area.

Sure, potter wasps might not be as regal as an eagle, nor as swell as a swan, but they play an important role across many local ecosystems. They help keep insect populations in check and also – I can’t believe I didn’t mention this yet – serve as pollinators by feeding on nectar as adults.

Plus, they can build little clay pots with their claws.

How cool is that?

COMMUNITY CORNER / DOWNTOWN ST. CHARLES PARTNERSHIP

The St. Patrick’s Parade in St. Charles steps off at 2 p.m. March 11 at Main and Sixth streets.

Downtown St. Charles Partnership and its parade committee determine the grand marshal, their decision is based on the positive impact that a particular person, group, business or organization has made in downtown St. Charles.

This year is no exception.

The historic Arcada Theatre re-

cently celebrated its 90th anniversary in downtown St. Charles, and there is one key person who has not only turned the theater around, but has gotten it to thrive over the past decade.

As a self-proclaimed old soul, Ron Onesti fell in love with the theater from the moment he saw it. He described

his first experience walking into the theater in September during the 90th anniversary celebration: “When I first walked into the building in February 2005, something special was happening – at least it felt that way.

It was more of a ‘presence’ rather than an actual visual experience. I could almost feel the place buzzing with excitement of the vaudeville shows and the nickel silent films of days gone by. Mischievous kids with tattered clothes and shoes, sporting ‘newsboy’ caps sneaking into the balcony, while adults in their ‘Sunday best’ outfits would excitingly be attending the performances.”

It’s the passion that still lives on from the theater’s inception 90 years ago that gives Onesti pride and motivation to make the theater better each day. His continual effort and investment in one of our downtown’s most historic and valued venues more than qualifies him as grand marshal for the 2017 St. Patrick’s Parade.

Sponsored by Gerald Subaru North Aurora, the St. Charles St. Patrick’s Parade steps off at 2 p.m. March 11 at Main and Sixth streets. The route continues down Main Street and concludes at Fourth Avenue.

Thursday, February 23, 2017 • KCChronicle.com / The Herald

The St. Patrick’s Parade, hosted annually in downtown St. Charles, has become a family tradition. Thousands of people of all ages line Main Street to watch the antics of cheerful leprechauns, listen to award-winning local marching bands, watch the elaborate and colorful floats glide down the street, pay tribute to the walking units of veterans, hear the melodic strains of the Celtic pipe bands, and see all the best that St. Charles has to offer.

The event began in 1998, when Maurice McNally invited Rosie Martinez to leave Dublin, Ireland, and help open McNally’s Traditional Irish Pub in the heart of downtown St. Charles. In 1999, Martinez approached the city of St. Charles about organizing the first St. Patrick’s Parade, where she “wanted to bring a piece of [her] culture to St. Charles and show how we really do it back home. We wanted to bring a piece of Ireland to St. Charles.”

Since then, the St. Patrick’s Parade has seen a multitude of organizers, supporters, and attendees who have turned it into the local tradition and staple it is today.

One of the great honors of the parade is to be its grand marshal. While the

She has continually challenged herself academically. … Her extracurricular activities have showcased her artistic talents, her devotion to her community, her leadership skills and desire to help her fellow students gain a deeper understanding of their faith. … Her ability to showcase her leadership skills while working with our campus minister to enhance our prayer experience are two reasons she enjoys her roles as a Dominican preacher and a Senior Retreat Team member. Her fine leadership skills, coupled with her love of the arts, have been reasons why she has been tapped as the “go-to” person with our school musicals for the past four years. Lizzie has been, and continues to be, an asset to our school community.

She has continually challenged herself and has excelled in whatever she has done. Her outgoing personality and natural leadership abilities have rightfully won her the respect and admiration of both staff and students.

ACTIVITIES: In addition to being a passionate, well-rounded learner, Noah [Legenski] also is very involved in extracurricular activities at school and within the community. Noah was an avid athlete his first two years of high school but after a significant sports injury and two subsequent surgeries, Noah was unable to continue playing football and basketball. Instead of seeing this as a setback, Noah saw it as an opportunity to get involved in other fulfilling activities. Since then, [he] has been a member and leader within the GHS Robotics, Model UN and Key Club groups. [Noah] is a senior mentor for his church’s youth group.

NOMINATED BY COUNSELOR EMILY DOTY: With enthusiasm, I would like to nominate GHS senior Noah for the Chronicle Achievement Program. Since his freshman year, Noah has continually set out to challenge himself both academically and personally. As an aspiring engineer, Noah has taken advantage of our Project Lead the Way engineering, math and science courses. He also has opted to take a variety of language, fine art and social studies electives in order to diversify his experiences and push himself outside his comfort zone. I admire that Noah not only takes advantage of, but also seeks out, opportunities available to him and that his interests are rooted in genuine curiosity.

Three Fires Council plans motorcycle ride to benefit Camp Big Timber and Scouts

By SUZANNE FLYNN editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – Three Fires Council, based in St. Charles, is working with the DuKane ABATE Chapter to plan the first-ever motorcycle ride Sept. 16 to benefit the council’s camp.

Three Fires Council is the head council for the Boy Scout districts within the Chicago western suburbs.

ABATE – or A Brotherhood Aimed Toward Education – is a motorcyclists rights organization dedicated to preserving their rights through education, safety, awareness and political activities.

The DuKane ABATE Chapter represents the state organization in northern DuPage and Kane counties.

Steve Odlin, vice president of technology for Three Fires Council, and Dan Zedan, council commissioner, are co-chairing the event with the help of Aaron Vikemyr, development director, and many others.

“Steve and Dan are both active riders in the community and have participated in other rides,” Vikemyr said.

“They brought this idea to us, knowing that other Scouters love to ride, and [there are] other riders outside the organization who would love to reconnect with Scouting. We knew it would be a win-win event.”

Odlin is a member of ABATE, and

“As a first-time event, our goal is always to raise at least $5,000. We like to get our events established and then grow them from there.”

with the help of those connections, they were able to secure Fox River Harley-Davidson as a co-sponsor.

The ride will start from Fox River Harley-Davidson, 31 Randall Road, St Charles, continue west for two hours, loop around and end at Camp Big Timber, 37W955 Big Timber Road, Elgin.

Once at the camp, Scout families are welcome to join in on the fun.

There will be a reception at the ranger’s facility, food, games – including competitions between the Scouts and riders – and the motorcyclists will be given the opportunity to camp overnight if they would like.

“This event is going to require a lot of volunteers [50 to 70] to pull [it] off,” Odlin said. “From registrars and cooks to support at the camp site.”

Odlin hopes to get 250 riders at this first ride. There will be a fee to

Board members, executive directors and key staff of local agencies were recognized for their ongoing service, and Jeff Hartman, Community Foundation president and CEO, spoke of the importance of supporting the agencies.

“Over the past couple of years, since we expanded our presence in the Tri-Cities, we are seeing more grant requests from the Tri-Cities,” Voris, Community Foundation Board member and president of Kelmscott Communications, stated in the release.

Grant recipients this fall provide services in more than 20 cities throughout Kane and Kendall counties and parts of DuPage County.

The nonprofit administers individual charitable funds from which grants and scholarships are distributed.

Since its inception in 1948 in Aurora, the foundation has grown to nearly $78 million in assets and has awarded more than $60 million in grants and scholarships.

AURORA – This year marks the 25th anniversary of the 1992 comedy classic “Wayne’s World.” The film was based off the popular “Saturday Night Live” sketch and starred Mike Myers and Dana Carvey as two lovable friends trying to promote their public access cable show.

Aurora is where Myers, as Wayne Campbell, and Carvey, as Garth Algar, host their public access cable show in the film, and it helped put the town on the map. That’s why, in honor of its 25th anniversary, the whole city will be involved in a six-month celebration of the film.

Jen Rauch, owner of the downtown Aurora art and framing shop If These Walls Could Talk, was the first to have the idea for a festival.

“The idea came from just a flashback of where I was 25 years ago,” Rauch said. She felt that it was the least the town could do, considering that it was “mentioned specifically in the movie.”

Rauch pitched the idea to the city in the summer of last year and was met with a very positive response.

“They all thought it would be a good idea to do a little something-something, so everybody jumped on board,” Rauch said.

“It’s Aurora; everyone loves to party.”

The festival kicked off Feb. 2 with an appearance by Tia Carrere, who played

Cassandra in the original film. Carrere appeared for a photo shoot in a recreated version of the basement scene from the film, according to a news release.

The following day, a movie poster contest for the film was hosted by If These Walls Could Talk.

That is only the tip of the iceberg, though, as the city has a laundry list of events planned for the six-month festival.

Upcoming events will include an air guitar contest, a doughnut tasting

event and a Wayne and Garth lookalike contest. The grand finale will be an attempt to have the most people headbanging to Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” on the Fourth of July.

Screenings of the original film also will take place throughout the festival in downtown Aurora at Two Brothers Roundhouse and at the Paramount Theatre. Those with a good eye may also spot cardboard cutouts of Wayne and Garth moving around town.

“We’re just having fun with it, and we encourage people to have fun and enjoy the party,” said Marissa Amoni, who works with events and community outreach for the city and had a major part in organizing the events.

Those with any interest in taking part in any of the events should visit auroradowntown.org for more details.

As far as dress code is concerned, Rauch urged anyone interested in attending to “wear your best flannel.”

Schingoethe Center becomes Smithsonian affiliate KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com AURORA – The Smithsonian Institution has granted the Schingoethe Center of Aurora University affiliate status, making possible new opportunities for collaborative exhibits, artifact loans, research and educational programs.

The Schingoethe Center museum is best known for its Native-American collection, which includes artifacts and artwork dating from prehistory to the present. All indigenous culture areas of North America are represented in the collection, including items from Central and South America as well.

The museum also holds a collection of non-Native-American art, much of it from regional artists.

The Schingoethe Center is one of only six Smithsonian Affiliates in the state. Others include the Adler Planetarium and the Du Sable Museum of African American History in Chicago, and the Sousa Archives and Center for American Music housed at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Smithsonian Affiliates is an outreach program comprising more than 200 organizations across the country that work together to preserve the nation’s heritage, expand knowledge and inspire learning. Affiliates include a wide array of science centers, museums, schools, historical societies, archives, libraries, zoos and aquaria.

“We are a small museum, but we’ve always thought big,” said Meg Bero, executive director of the Schingoethe Center, in a news release. “The Smithsonian Affiliates designation is a wonderful way for us to build awareness among scholars and the community of the museum as a resource.”

The designation is especially significant to students in the university’s museum studies program who might be seeking internships at Smithsonian museums, she said, adding that access to the Smithsonian’s vast resources may also open up new professional development opportunities for AU faculty and regional educators.

“We are delighted to begin this new affiliate partnership with the Schingoethe Center at Aurora University,”

said Harold A. Closter, director of Smithsonian Affiliations, in the release. “The center’s well-deserved reputation and impressive collections tell us much about the diversity and ingenuity of Native Americans and share much in common with collections at the Smithsonian. We look forward to working together to create a greater understanding and appreciation for the historical and contemporary accomplishments of America’s first people and their interconnectedness with all people.”

Founded in 1990 with the donation of more than 6,000 pieces of Native-American art, artifacts and related material from the collection of Aurora connoisseurs Herb and Martha Schingoethe, the museum spent its first 25 years in AU’s Dunham Hall, itself a gift from Martha (Dunham) Schingoethe in honor of her family.

The center’s rare book collection contains original, out-of-print works by white explorers, military personnel and settlers that describe their impressions of – and encounters with –Native Americans during the 19th century.

Among its holdings are a full set of the Bureau of Ethnology Reports and an original copy of Thomas McKenney and James Hall’s three-volume “The History of the Native American Tribes of North America, 1836-1844.” With its 120 hand-colored lithographs, the book is recognized today as one of the most important documents of Native American history, stated the release.

The collection moved to its new location, a state-of-the-art facility in the university’s newly built Hill Welcome Center, in October 2015.

The Smithsonian’s Harold Closter will be on the AU campus Feb. 7, to present the museum’s official affiliate certificate. The ceremony will be held in the Crimi Auditorium at 6:45 p.m.

His visit will coincide with a reception for the museum’s spring exhibit, “art of facts: Brian Dettmer,” which will take place from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the museum.

The Schingoethe Center of Aurora University is located in the Hill Welcome Center at 1315 Prairie St. in Aurora. For more information, visit aurora. edu/museum.

It’s flu season all over the world

Like me, have you been feeling enervated? Cantankerous?

No, I’m not talking about feeling sick; that’s my everyday mind and body state of health. You should have been around me when I got the stomach flu. Or not; it wasn’t pretty.

Seen any zombie movies lately where the resurgent dead look like they’re forced to walk to work on New Year’s Day after no sleep or Tylenol? Then you’ve got a fair image of how I looked and felt for two days and nights after the norovirus blew open my well-being’s door like a well-practiced SWAT team.

I hadn’t shaken that much since a seventh-grade pizza party blared Chubby Checker out a boxy Magnavox record player. I hadn’t studied the curvature of a toilet bowl that closely since visiting Wisconsin’s Kohler Design Center. I’ve never reached my daily 10,000-step goal so quickly as when walking back and forth to the bathroom.

Two days later, a slice of dry toast and apple jelly, usually yummy as cardboard slathered with wet cement, tasted like Chateau Briand.

Horror stories abound.

My neighbor bore it for days on end. It traveled through a St. Charles high school faster than the Enterprise chasing Klingons. Like mono, a select few can catch it twice.

So what’s the deal with this year’s severity? It may be another gift of climate change, that evil Santa that’s given earth extreme weather, water shortages, melting ice caps, and the emigration of polar bears moving south faster than public school retirees.

In addition to the past three years being the hottest on record progressive-

As the earth heats up, pathogen-carrying mosquitoes and ticks are moving farther north, spreading these diseases into countries and regions not previously affected. ...”

So, if you thought climate change was just a reason to give your winter parka to Goodwill, think again.

OPINIONS | Thursday, February 23, 2017 • KCChronicle.com / The Herald

This shy kid celebrates the little accomplishments I’ve been shy my whole life.

It generally takes me awhile to get warmed up to new people before I can truly be myself.

Once I’m comfortable around someone, my bubbly personality shines. I’m never going to be the first person who starts a conversation if I am in a large group of acquaintances. At nearly 20 years old, I’ve come a long way over the years in terms of my shyness. I’m more confident when I meet new people, and giving class presentations does not scare me as much as they used to.

The other day in my psychology class, my professor talked about how if you were an outgoing child growing up, you’ll likely grow up to be an outgoing adult. If you were a shy child growing up, you’ll

BEFORE THE DIPLOMA Denise Cartina likely always be a bit more shy than other individuals.

Learning this, I realized that I am destined to be timid forever. Yet, being shy has its perks. People who are generally more quiet are usually good listeners, more observant and they’re seen as more polite since they don’t always talk over others.

I wouldn’t consider myself an introvert, however. I like meeting new people and going to social events, I just don’t like to be the center of attention. I have no problem giving presentations in front of an

entire classroom; I just might fumble a bit on my words at the beginning of the presentation. For instance, in a few days I’m giving a presentation in my marketing class about an existing business. I’m not dreading the day I speak in front of the class. Once I set up my PowerPoint and begin speaking, there’s no doubt that I’ll be a bit shaky. This is what it means to be shy.

My humanities class this semester is strictly a discussion-based class. My professor splits the class up into different small groups every day, which forces us to interact and speak with new people.

Our professor asks us all questions, and we then discuss the questions in our small groups. Once all small groups

are done discussing, our professor goes around to each group to share our thoughts with the class. In small group situations like these when I’m forced to interact with strangers, my shyness is evident. I’m just afraid to speak up.

It’s not that I don’t want to participate in group discussions, but even saying one little thing in my small group is difficult. I’m always worried that I’ll say something stupid or that my ideas won’t be the same as the rest of the group.

I keep quiet and let other people talk so I avoid this. I hate having all eyes on me when I talk if I’m not totally comfortable around the people whom I’m talking with.

Yesterday, I finally spoke in front of the entire class.

I was the spokesperson for my small group, so I was the one who shared my group’s ideas with the professor and fellow classmates. Being a shy person, it’s little things like these that make me proud of myself. To all shy people out there, keep celebrating your little accomplishments like this one, because it’s not easy being shy.

OH, WHAT A FEELING Kaneland wins big to bring home regional title/ 24

Kaneland basketball players lift the regional title plaque after defeating Rosary on Feb. 17 in the IMSA regional final. The Knights moved on to face Rock Falls in a sectional semifinal Feb. 21 at Kaneland.

Kaneland players celebrate Feb. 17 after defeating Rosary in the Class 3A regional final at IMSA. The Knights’ 51-33 win secured their first regional title since 2012.

Knights like feeling of first regional title since 2012

By KEVIN DRULEY editorial@kcchronicle.com AURORA – Extended stretches of the Class 3A IMSA regional final girls basketball game Feb. 17 featured Kaneland and Rosary trading turnovers or misfires from close range.

Whenever offense surfaced, it typically was Kaneland seizing the scoring touch, and that timeliness paved the way to a 51-33 win and the Knights’ first regional title since 2012.

“We haven’t won in so long, so I love it,” Kaneland junior guard Jamie Martens said. “I’m so happy.”

The Knights (22-6) engulfed one another at midcourt after the final buzzer sounded.

Kaneland advanced to meet Rock Falls in a Kaneland sectional semifinal Feb. 21. The Knights will be look-

ing to avenge a close nonconference loss in late January.

“We remember that game,” Knights junior center Grace Ringel said.

“We’re ready for another chance.”

Five seasons ago, the Knights turned what had been their first regional title since 2005 into a sectional finals berth under veteran coach Ernie Colombe, now in his 11th season.

With home-court advantage in hand and a longtime nemesis out of the picture, Kaneland likes its chances to keep pushing.

Neighboring rival Burlington Central’s resurgence followed the Knights’ 2012 run, which in turn spelled postseason doom for Kaneland. The Rockets ousted the Knights from regionals in two of the past three Februaries before migrating to a different part of the playoffs bracket this season.

The Knights edged visiting BC in overtime in their penultimate game of the regular season. While players relished the result, they also embraced the opportunity to reset for regionals – and beyond.

“Our kids have worked so hard for this, and we’re going to enjoy this one, for sure,” Colombe said. “But then it’s back to work and getting back to what we do with defense and intensity.”

Fine by the Knights, who held Rosary (13-15) under 10 points until 7:06 remained in the third quarter.

“I feel like we’re one of the grittier girls basketball teams around,” Ringel said.

Martens scored 21 points and junior Jenni Weber added 11 provided the sparks Kaneland needed, counteracting any momentum the Royals

gained behind center Zoe Ketterman, who led the team with 12 points.

Still, inconsistencies abounded on either side of the floor. The Knights led 22-8 at halftime, but Rosary trailed by just nine points after three quarters and remained within single digits early in the fourth. A Weber 3-pointer with 5:50 left in the game provided a 41-27 lead and valuable breathing room.

First-year Rosary coach Phil VanBogaert lauded the Royals’ effort as well as the atmosphere. VanBogaert’s status as an Elburn resident and a relative of former Kaneland athletes contributed to the latter.

“What I like about it, I like Rosary playing Kaneland because a lot of the kids have gone through Kaneland to Rosary, so it’s fun when you know the people,” VanBogaert said.

Knights earn five medals at state wrestling finals

By CHRIS CASEY editorial@kcchronicle.com CHAMPAIGN – Coach Joe Orosco knew what the future was going to hold for his Kaneland wrestling team.

The senior-laden Knights had a chance to do something special this season if they wrestled to their potential at the right time.

In doing exactly that, Kaneland set a school record by qualifying five wrestlers and having five wrestlers medal – the most ever in both categories for the program – at the Class 2A state tournament.

Four of those five wrestlers were seniors, including Riley Vanik, the third-place finisher at 182 pounds. That means Orosco expects the Knights to be in full rebuild mode moving forward.

“It hurts us and helps us,” Orosco said of the state showings. “We are going to be starting over. Those seniors leaving opens up four vacancies [in the lineup], not only point scorers, but leadership roles.

“These guys left on a good note, and we hope that plants the seed for these younger guys to say, ‘Hey, they had five this year, let’s work toward that.’”

Vanik’s 5-4 victory in the third-place match in his final high school bout brought noticeable emotions.

One win shy of a chance to wrestle for a state title, Vanik fell in the semifinals. He responded by winning his next two matches in the consolation bracket.

“After losing the semifinal match, the hardest thing to do was bounce back,” Vanik said.

“But you have no other choice, really. I was not going to let my senior year end on a loss.

To go out like this with these guys and make school history means the world to me.”

Both Austin Kedzie (120 pounds) and Colin Gussman (220) finished in fourth place, while fellow senior Hayden Patterson took sixth (170).

Kaneland’s Nathan Orosco (front) battles Sycamore’s Trevor Boryla on Feb. 18 during a 106-pound consolation bout at the Class 2A state tournament. Orosco finished sixth, one of a school-record five medalists for the Knights.

Gussman said that after wrestling for a number of years with his senior group, it meant quite a bit to end it with school history.

“We’re all pretty close-knit, having grown up together and everything,” Gussman said.

“That meant a lot to us, even if some of the results this weekend didn’t go exactly how we would have liked. We knew this was it for us and wanted to go out strong.”

Sophomore Nathan Orosco, who took sixth at 106 pounds, will be the lone returning state qualifier for a team that coach Orosco hopes can learn and gain momentum from this year’s accomplishments in Champaign.

“Hopefully, and I’m talking all the way down to the junior high and kids club level, hopefully this is something they can look at and hope to attain and help build our program back up,” Joe Orosco said. “[Nathan] medaled, but we’re going to be starting from the bare bones.

I just hope they want to put in the offseason work, maybe not to get to this level just yet, but to get closer.”

editorial@kcchonicle.com The grind of the high school basketball regular season is about to give way to the grind of the postseason as teams from across the state start on the road toward the state finals in Peoria. Here is the playoff outlook for Kaneland and other area schools in Class 3A.

Burlington Central

Regional: Marmion Sectional: Genoa Kingston Sectional seed: No. 1 First game: 7 p.m. Feb. 28 vs. No. 7 Montini/ No. 9 Marmion Outlook: The Rockets have flexed their muscle all season against some solid competition, a trend they hope to continue in the postseason. As the top seed in a subdivided Class 3A sectional, Burlington will be the favorite to win its first playoff game against either Montini or Marmion. No. 4 seed Glenbard South could be the foe in the March 3 regional final, though No. 6 St. Francis and No. 10 Wheaton Academy could make a run to the championship game.

Kaneland

Regional: Sycamore Sectional: Genoa Kingston Sectional seed: No. 8 First game: 7 p.m. Feb. 27 vs. No. 11 IMSA Outlook: It has been a struggle much of the season for Rhett Espe, Dan Franck, Jake Hed and the Knights, but a few things are in their favor for the Class 3A playoffs.

First, they have played several Class 4A schools during the regular season, including three wins against

Yorkville and a narrow 35-30 loss against DeKalb on Feb. 17.

Second, Kaneland will be favored to get past IMSA and into a regional semifinal against Aurora Central Catholic on Feb. 28. The Knights have an edge in size to make things difficult for the guard-oriented Chargers, and momentum from an opening win could be a big boost. If Kaneland gets

Home court in the Marmion Class 3A regional could help Marmion Regional: Marmion power past Montini, which topped the Sectional: Genoa Kingston Cadets 83-73 early in the season. If the Sectional seed: No. 9 host Cadets can get past Montini, No. 1 sectional seed Burlington Central First game: 6 p.m. Feb. 27 vs. No. 7 Montini would be waiting in the regional semiOutlook: Wins have been few and far final Feb. 28.

Quick start keys Kaneland girls in playoff opener

By EDDIE CARIFIO ecarifio@shawmedia.com AURORA – It took the IMSA girls basketball team more than 22 minutes to do what Kaneland’s Jenni Weber did in less than eight minutes.

Weber had 17 points in the first quarter as Kaneland scored 24 of the game’s first 26 points in a 67-30 win in a Class 3A IMSA regional semifinal Feb. 15.

Weber finished the game with 19 points. She made her first four 3-point attempts.

Playoffs almost here for Kaneland boys

27

Kaneland committed turnovers on four of its first six possessions but still led 6-0 thanks to a pair of 3-pointers by Weber. The Knights didn’t commit another turnover until the third quarter.

“Jamie Martens got me the ball mostly, and we moved the ball really well,” Weber said. “They assisted me, so they get the credit.”

Martens also had a big game, finishing with six points, eight rebounds and six steals. Four of those steals came in the first quarter, and three of them led to points at the other end.

“She’s a tremendous athlete, so she’s kind of our glue player,” Kaneland coach Ernie Colombe said. “She does a lot of the dirty work. She’s also very tough to guard with her speed.

She’s starting to shoot the ball more, and as she gets more and more aggressive on offense it opens things up for everyone else.”

No. 1 seed Kaneland forced 10 first-quarter turnovers against No. 10 IMSA, leading to 12 points for the Knights. Kaneland built a 24-2 lead on the Titans, led 27-7 after one quarter and

led by as much as 42 late in the fourth.

Morgan Weber added nine points for the Knights. Dawn Triche led IMSA with eight, while Jaszmine Simmons had an IMSA-best six rebounds.

“We wanted to come out and get some points off our defense, and I thought we did that,” Colombe said.

“We shared the ball on offense, had 40-whatever at halftime. I like that we were unselfish, which we talked about before the game. We wanted to play a solid 32 minutes, which for the most part I thought we did.”

My experience isn’t unique. In a 2010 New York Times article, Northwestern University neuroscientist Jay Gottfried explained how he, too, was a cilantro covert. The more he ate, the more he liked it – a phenomenon he attributed to the brain constantly updating its database of experiences.

THE DISH ON

“The Food and Wine of France: Eating and Drinking from Champagne to Provence” by Edward Behr.

In “The Food and Wine of France,” the influential food writer Edward Behr investigates French cuisine and what it means, in encounters from Champagne to Provence. He tells the stories of French artisans and chefs who continue to work at the highest level.

Many people in and out of France have noted for a long time the slow retreat of French cuisine, concerned that it is losing its important place in the country’s culture and in the world culture of food.

And yet, as Behr writes, good French food remains very, very delicious. No cuisine is better.

The sensuousness is overt.

French cooking is generous, both obvious and subtle, simple and complex, rustic and utterly refined. A lot of recent inventive food by comparison is wildly abstract and austere.

In the tradition of great food writers, Edward Behr seeks out the best of French food and wine. He shows not only that it is as relevant as ever, but he also challenges us to see that it might become the world’s next cutting edge cuisine.

Oh, cilantro haters, must you loathe this simple green herb so vehemently?

When passing out salsa samples at the Pearl Market recently, I found myself on the receiving end of cilantro hostility.

Market patrons asked pointedly: “Is there cilantro in that?”

When I said the salsa was indeed flavored with cilantro, a full-body shudder would inevitably follow, accompanied by a declaration: “I hate cilantro!”

So much scorn for such a harmless herb. Can’t cilantro haters be a little more civil, say, along the lines of the mayonnaise vs. Miracle Whip debaters?

I understand that cilantro really does taste like soap to some; even Julia Child was a cilantro hater. For others, the taste and smell reminds them of bugs. (I won’t get into the discussion of how these folks know what bugs taste like.)

I don’t question scientific research that overwhelmingly suggests that genetics rule how people perceive the taste of cilantro. Cilantro haters can’t help the dislike; it’s in their genes.

I get all of that. But I don’t understand the fervor.

Distaste for cilantro has prompted a website (ihatecilantro.com) with almost 5,000 followers and an entire section of anti-cilantro haiku the likes of this:

black-and-white,” she said. Cilantro “simply ruins everything it touches.”

Her frustration has been compounded by cilantro’s apparent proliferation, from the rice at Chipotle to its use as a garnish on drinks.

“A bloody mary at a French restaurant maybe takes the cake,” May said.

The farmers market patrons I tried to sway had their minds as fixed as May’s.

But change is possible. I, too, used to think cilantro tasted like soap. The more I ate it, though, the more I came

Designer takes Good Gracious Cakes to new heights

By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – A graphic designer’s passion for dessert is baked into a business about extreme edible creations.

Turning her fine art skills to the medium of sugar is Michelle Boyd of Batavia, owner of Good Gracious Cakes.

“I had worked for several years as a graphic designer and illustrator for a greeting card company in Chicago,” Boyd said. “I was a stay-athome mom for awhile and [got] bored. I missed working with my hands.”

Her career in custom-order edible art was inspired a decade ago, while watching some of the early cake decorating shows on television. By 2014, she had been named one of the Top Ten Cake Artists in North America by Dessert Professional magazine.

She teaches decorating using faux cake layers made of Styrofoam, common practice for bakery displays. Among the skills she instructs is hand-painting, airbrushing and blown sugar sculpture.

In addition to teaching across the U.S., she offers private classes in her home studio

and provides cake coaching.

“If someone has a birthday for their child or dad or grandfather, you can schedule some time with me, and I can help you achieve the cake you want,” Boyd said.

Among her favorite pieces have been cakes she created for the Icing Smiles nonprofit whose slogan, in part, is “baking a difference.”

“They provide over-the-top dream cakes to critically ill children and their families,” Boyd said.

For a family celebrating a year of their son being free from leukemia, Boyd said she designed a sea theme, with a dolphin jumping out of a cake.

She also collaborates with other artists on projects featured at major food and wine events as part of the spectacle entertainment.

“We turn food into works of art,” she said. “I tend to zig when everybody zags.”

Learning kindness through our kids

When the author’s daughter named this spider, she taught her mother some lessons about how quick she is to judge or dismiss creatures she had learned to fear.

What my daughter taught me when she gave a spider a name supporting cast of bugs. These are her daily catch, to be fair, and they are about to be eaten. They line the layers I did not think giving a silly name of her silky net like groceries in the to the spider outside my office winpantry – in a pinch, you know there’s dow would create an affection for an dinner – and she eats them calmly and eight-legged creature that, in another with good manners. context, I would have squashed with a When’s there’s a spry new arrival, rolled newspaper. usually something large, like a moth But ever since my 8-year-old started or a green katydid, Spiderella fights calling this arachnid “Spiderella,” I’ve with every move she’s got.

She sits outside some well-deserved time off.

It’s then that my kids voice concerns She already is in a pose I like to call about her health, her demeanor, and “center web,” a bit like center stage, try to figure out how many eyes she but without a spotlight and with a has.

By SARAH MARANISS VANDER SCHAAFF The Washington Post

One morning was full of wind and rain, and after the storm cleared, Spiderella made a surprise afternoon visit. Like a master craftswoman, she went about her work swiftly, swooping from side to side, up and down, making a pattern I could not understand until she came to a rest, her web complete.

Once more she found her spotlight stage center.

We humans rarely have moments of such harmony, when our actions and intentions align in what looks like effortless efficiency. Perhaps we catch a glimpse of this watching musicians, athletes or a mother changing a diaper. With practice and a certain type of concentration, we are capable of getting out of our own way and let a creative skill flow freely.

But I had never looked for this lesson in a spider. I have been too busy running away from them, or worse, destroying their homes.

Spiderella came to me. My third-grader gave her a name, pulled from a cliché, that has allowed me to

look upon her as a fascinating and worthwhile creature. Had I not considered her through the eyes and openness of my child, I would have missed this part of life, the very life outside my window, a few inches away.

These days, when I’ve had a tough day or my human ego has been wounded by a setback, I look up from my computer screen and stare at Spiderella’s web. I depend on her nightly visits, and I look forward to witnessing her artful skills of survival. She’s got everything she needs rolled into her tenacious, tiny body.

I don’t know what will happen when the weather gets colder. My husband has suggested I reread “Charlotte’s Web,” but I think that might make me cry, to be honest.

I can say this: The next time your child gives a silly name to a creature, or object, or even something intangible that triggers fear, and you think it’s childish, step back a moment and consider what a kindhearted name can breed. Not only in your child, but in you.

you can see a lot of Frank Lloyd Wright’s influence on them,” Emma said. “Wright has had an influence on design in that era.”

Wright designed a house for Agnes Hoyt at 318 S. Fifth St., two years after her husband died.

Emma said they theorized that Hoyt met Wright through Jane Addams’s Hull House, as Addams had spoken in Geneva several times, and Hoyt may have gone to listen to her.

Addams and Wright knew each other through the suffragette movement, and through Wright’s Chicago Arts and Crafts Society, as Hull House was the center of it, Emma said.

“We are assuming this,” Emma said. “I know it’s a Photo provided by the Geneva History Museum stretch, but that is how we Frank Lloyd Wright designed this home, 318 S. Fifth St., Geneva. It’s known traced these connections.”

A glass house, 949 S. Batas the Mrs. P.D. Hoyt House and was constructed in 1906 by Geneva’s well-known builders, brothers Oscar and August Wilson. This and other avia Ave., was designed by important Geneva architecture and architects are featured in the exhibit, Jacques Brownson, the archi“Inside & Out: Geneva’s Faces, Places & Spaces,” exhibit at the museum. tect who also designed the Daley Center in Chicago, Emma said.

GENEVA – The Geneva History Museum’s new exhibit, “Inside & Out: Geneva’s Faces, Places & Spaces,” highlights the people who designed, constructed and lived in some of the city’s most interesting homes and buildings.

The exhibit – 113 S. Third St., Geneva – will feature architects Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Frazier and J. Howard Raftery, Jacques Brownson and Thomas Emma, as well as current local architects, museum Executive Director Terry Emma said.

Vignettes of each house will include artifacts from the museum’s collection spanning from the years 1906, 1931, 1949 and 1964, she said.

“A lot of these architects who did these jobs in Geneva were influential in other places, such as in Chicago,” Emma said. “It’s amazing that our small town had such influence, especially in designing homes and buildings here.”

For example, through

Wright’s association with Col. George Fabyan, he converted a barn into what is now Fabyan Villa, Emma said.

“And how cool is it that we have this letter dated Dec. 8, 1933, signed by Frank Lloyd Wright,” Emma said. “It’s a response to the founder of the Friends of the Geneva Public Library, when they asked if Frank Lloyd Wright could come out to talk about a possible addition for the library in 1933.”

Wright’s response was, “I would be glad to come to Geneva some Sunday and confer with your group.”

However, the cost for Wright’s visit would have been $250, and he asked what they could afford. But there is no proof that Wright ever actually came out, Emma said.

Author Forrest Crissey lived in Geneva, Emma said.

He wrote for the Saturday Evening Post, and among his books were “Tattlings of a Retired Politician,” “The Story of Foods” and “Where Opportunity Knocks Twice.”

I’m being treated like a child Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and so is my boyfriend. We’ve been dating for over two years. I live alone with my mother who is very strict. My boyfriend and I can only date every two weeks and I have an 11:30 p.m. curfew. She does allow us to spend time at our house studying and watching TV or videos and this doesn’t count as a date.

My problem is that I think two dates a month for a 16-year-old who is a very trustworthy young woman is a little short. My mom has been a single mom since I was born. She never married my father, so she was an unwed mother.

Because of this, she is doing everything to make sure I don’t follow in her footsteps.

Every week, I ask her if we could start dating once a week, but her answer is always no.

Yesterday I asked her the same question and she said if I keep on pestering her she’ll cut my dates to once a month. Do you think I’m being treated like a child? I sure do. – Nameless, Moncton, New

Brunswick Nameless: I get many letters

from 16-year-old girls who are not allowed to date at all. Your mother has let you have a boyfriend since you were 14, so don’t force the issue now. In time, your mother will allow you to date more often.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 19 and my husband is 23. We have a beautiful 14-month- old daughter and I’m also eight months pregnant. This has made my mother very upset.

She said it’s obscene that I’ll have two children before I’m 20. Yesterday, she said, “Just because you’re married doesn’t mean you can’t practice birth control.”

My husband and I love children and plan to have three – that’s our limit. It just so happens we want them close together so they can do things together when they’re older.

My brother is three years older

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace than I am and we had very little in common when we were growing up.

I’m very upset at Mom’s attitude. The number of children my husband and I have and when we have them is nobody’s business but ours. My husband thinks we should tell my mom our plans and reasoning, in order to convince her we’re not obscene. I think I should tell her to mind her own business and that we want eight kids.

My husband and I would appreciate your input. Grandma does love our daughter and is an excellent babysitter for her. – Maria,

Austin, Tex. Maria: I agree the number of

children you and your husband bring into this world is your business, 100 percent, and that your mother’s remark was uncalled for.

But I also agree with your husband that you should be straight with your mother about your plans, rather than react to her comment with anger and sarcasm. A grandmother who loves her grandchild – and also is a good babysitter – deserves a second chance to be genuinely a part of your life.

Dr. Wallace: I have been meaning to write this letter for quite some time. I’ve read your column throughout my teen years and I want to thank you for all your advice. At least there is someone out there still teaching today’s youth the importance of high morals and values. I appreciate the things you’ve done and hope you continue to do your good work for a long time to come. I just wish there were more people out there like you. Even though I’m 20, I still look forward to getting the paper and reading your column every

day. – Kimberly, Lake Charles, La. Kimberly: You sure know how to make a columnist feel good!

Thanks for your kind words.

Dr. Wallace: My dad is a beer drinker on the weekends. He spends the whole weekend watching sports on television and drinking beer. He’s a good father and works hard at the steel mill where he makes a good salary so our family can have a very nice lifestyle.

The problem is that I have a 13-year-old brother who gets into a lot of trouble at home and at school.

For the past several months I have seen him swipe beer from my dad’s stash and he drinks them, too. Lately, I have been spying on him and when he steals two cans a day he drinks both of them. Then he always puts the empty cans in a brown paper sack and dumps them in a neighbor’s garbage can.

When I confronted him he begged me not to “squeal” on him and said that he would stop stealing and drinking. Well, he still steals and drinks. I hate to be known as a squealer, but I’m going to tell our parents. Is it possible my brother could actually already be addicted to beer? I think that he is too young, but I’m not sure. I’ve never actually seen my brother drunk. What do you think? – Nameless, Hobart, Ind. Nameless: According to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, children as young as ten have been classified as addicted to alcohol, and yes, a person can be addicted to alcohol and never become totally drunk.

Don’t wait even one second longer. Inform your parents immediately about your brother’s very harmful habit.

Freeloading nephew needs to get help and get going Dear Abby:

DEAR ABBY My husband’s nephew, “Jacob,” Jeanne is 25 and always Phillips hanging around our house. He has had a hard time over the last four years. First, his mom committed suicide. Two years later, his dad died in his sleep.

My husband and I told Jacob we would be there when he needed advice about things.

Well, he recently broke up with his longtime girlfriend, and he’s here at my house every day – even days he’s not working. He calls every afternoon to see what I’m cooking and expects to eat here every night. He also expects me to drop what I’m doing to go and clean his house and wash his clothes.

I’m disabled, so it’s a struggle just to feed my husband and myself. He also sleeps here on the weekends if he doesn’t work. My husband and I no longer have any alone time because he’s always here.

I have tried to tell Jacob nicely that he needs his own life, but the message isn’t getting through. I know he has issues with being alone.

He has never learned to be by himself. My husband is starting to get angry about the situation and wants me to “handle” it, but my words are not working.

If my husband decides to say something, it will end up in a heated argument.

How can I get through to this kid without hurting him? I do love him and try to treat him like one of my own kids. – Upset Aunt Dear Aunt: Talk to Jacob again. This time do it in plain English. Your nephew’s dependence on you has persisted for too long, and for everyone’s sake it needs to stop. If you haven’t suggested grief counseling for him, you should.

Explain that you love him, but you and your husband need time to be alone together. Point out that if he’s unable to do his own housecleaning and laundry, he should hire someone. Do not feel guilty for speaking up. You have done more than enough for Jacob over the last few years, and for him to expect you to cook for him every night and weekend is over the top.

Dear Abby: My husband quit chewing tobacco, but now he chews gum constantly, three pieces at a time. If he’s not asleep or eating, his jaw is moving. He chews it aggressively, rolls it around in his mouth while talking, so that it looks bad and is irritating.

He works with the public, and I’m embarrassed for him because I believe it’s bad manners to chew gum in that manner. I don’t know how to approach him. Please advise as to how I can help him. – Embarrassed for Him in

California Dear Embarrassed: Your husband chews the

way he does because he is trying to ease the pangs of withdrawal from his nicotine addiction.

Because what he’s doing is unsightly, suggest he discuss it with his doctor to see if there are other options such as a nicotine patch to help him over the hump. And be sure to tell him how proud you are of his determination to quit.

ASK THE DOCTORS / ELIZABETH KO AND EVE GLAZIER

CROSSWORD PUZZLE ANSWERS

Topical pain relievers can be effective Dear Doctor: I play in a weekend softball league, and my shoulder aches for a couple of days after the game. Aspirin hurts my stomach, so I wonder whether using a pain medication in a cream or an ointment might help?

Dear Reader: Thanks to effective over-thecounter drugs, banishing minor aches or pains is as easy as a trip to your medicine cabinet. These pain relievers, which are also used to reduce fever, fall into two main categories. One is acetaminophen, sold under the brand name Tylenol. The others are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. Aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen (sold under the brand name Aleve) are all NSAIDs. As you have found, stomach upset can be a side effect of NSAIDs like aspirin. For people who prefer not to take ibuprofen or NSAIDs in pill form, topical pain relievers, which are applied directly to the skin, offer an alternative. The idea is that the medication, when placed on or near the point of pain, will be absorbed into the body, bypassing the stomach, and offer targeted relief.

A visit to the drugstore for a topical pain reliever can be confusing. Not only do you have your choice of creams, gels, foams, patches, sprays and (we’re almost done) roll-ons, the products themselves fall into several distinct categories. Once you understand what they contain and how they work, you can decide what’s right for you.

• Topical NSAIDs: Yes, we’re talking about aspirin, ibuprofen or naproxen again.

However, studies show that blood levels of NSAIDs that are delivered through the skin are quite low, so potential for stomach upset is greatly reduced. What’s important here is to follow the dosage recommendations.

Don’t use too much or reapply too often.

And never use multiple NSAID products at

once. Talk to your doctor about which ones to use, because they exist in both prescription and over-the-counter forms.

• Capsaicin: This is the compound in chili peppers that gives them their kick. Topical products with capsaicin work by essentially desensitizing your body’s pain response.

However, some people find the burning sensation to be so intense that they are replacing one kind of discomfort with another.

• Menthol: Like capsaicin, menthol is a counterirritant that creates a new, cooling sensation powerful enough to distract from the pain.

• Methyl salicylate: Also known as oil of wintergreen, this is another counterirritant.

It first makes the skin feel cool, and then feel warm. It’s similar to aspirin, so be sure to read the label for counter-indications.

Finding a product you like may take some trial and error. When you do: • Remember that topical pain relievers are meant for pain that is mild to moderate.

• They should be used for no longer than seven days, unless your doctor says otherwise.

• Wash your hands immediately after applying the product.

• Never use on an open wound or damaged skin.

• Do not wrap or bandage the affected area until you’re sure the product has been fully absorbed, as warmth and pressure may cause a higher level of absorption.

• For that same reason, you should never use a heating pad with these products.

Thursday, February 23, 2017 • KCChronicle.com / The Herald

The five-story house at 2509 Foxhall Road in Washington, D.C., was built for throwing parties. With three kitchens, a wine cellar, an elevator and an infinity pool, it was recently the French ambassador’s temporary residence. You can still spot the iron security gates and the house number sign painted in the colors of the French flag.

In October 2016, the 11,242-squarefoot home (for sale at $10.8 million) had been adopted by the design community for the annual DC Design House. The rooms are decorated for imaginary owners, 21 spaces transformed by designers into glitzy Russian-inspired powder rooms and secret whiskey bars and lairs for ladies.

A show house is meant to highlight the talents of designers and spark the imagination of visitors looking for inspiration – or a new decorator. It’s also a place to spend an afternoon with a friend and dish about the rooms.

Things like: Why is there a peacock sitting at the Steinway in the living room? Or: Is that really a mirrored console covering that toilet tank?

The business of show houses can be rough. Top designers can be hard to sign up and interesting homes tough to pin down. This show house was traditionally held in the spring, but because organizers could not find a suitable house for spring 2016, they moved the event to fall.

The DC Design House was formed in 2008 to bring back the popular annual event after the long-standing National Symphony Orchestra Decorators’ Show House ended its 34-year run in 2006. In 2008, 7,500 people visited the first DC Design House, an 1842 brick Georgetown home, raising $100,000 for Children’s National Health System.

The event continues: Last year’s Design House raised $365,820 from ticket sales, boutiques, sponsors and items designers sold from their rooms; virtually everything is for sale.

“We’re always looking for the next house,” said Skip Singleton, co-founder of the DC Design House. If you’ve got a place with at least 20 rooms that you’d be willing to move out of for several months, contact the organizers.

Meanwhile, if you’re looking for a few decorating ideas, here are our top six.

How to keep track of home repairs

By NICOLE ANZIA Special to The Washington Post Throughout our lives, we spend significant time thinking about where we want to live, dreaming about what type of house we would like to own and imagining how we would furnish it. But many of us don’t focus on how much work and money it will require to maintain a home once we finally have one.

Financial and real estate experts advise homeowners to expect maintenance costs to run between 1 percent and 4 percent of a home’s value each year. The cost of home repairs includes tasks such as lawn care, roof replacement, basic appliance repair and even paint and floor-covering maintenance. And although home repairs can be unexpected, you can mitigate some unpleasant surprises by staying organized and current with routine maintenance.

As with any home organization project, there are different ways to approach keeping track of maintenance and improvement projects. Don’t deliberate for too long about which option is best; like any organizing task, choose one that will work for you

and get started.

Low-tech options include creating files or a binder where you keep all of your home-maintenance receipts in chronological order or by category.

Categories may include outdoor maintenance; appliances; heating; ventilating and air conditioning; furniture; and floor coverings. Create files with names that make sense to you, and be sure to put all relevant paperwork, including warranty information, from repairs and purchases inside. This way, you’ll be able to reference documents to see the date, cost and vendor for all of your repairs.

If you don’t want to pull out files each time you need to find a record, you also can keep track of repairs by creating a Word document or Excel spreadsheet that you update each time an appliance gets serviced or something is replaced.

There are several websites that provide online checklists for home-maintenance projects. These are especially helpful for those of us with little knowledge about all the details we should be checking as a homeowner and on what schedule.

We always think we’ll remember when the dishwasher last was broken

or when we installed that new water heater but then never have a clue when we actually need to know. Make sure you update your records regularly to keep the information current. One advantage of spreadsheet tracking is that you can sort by date and, with a quick glance, look at what maintenance is coming due.

If you have any maintenance plans, such as an annual HVAC plan or quarterly pest-control visits, be sure to include those approximate dates in your tracker.

Black and Decker’s “Home Planner and Logbook” provides a ready-made template for keeping all types of information related to your home. The book has room to record all of your maintenance information, as well as tips for managing almost every detail in your house.

If you prefer to track maintenance projects electronically, reminder apps and calendars on your phone or computer work well and can be especially helpful for things that require regular maintenance, such as changing the filters for your HVAC system and switching out water-purifying cartridges for your sink or refrigerator. To stay on schedule, buy enough cartridges and filters for at least one year so you don’t

have to go to the store each time you get a reminder. And while you’re at it, keep a regular stock of the most common light bulbs in your home.

Not surprisingly, there also are several apps that can help you track home-maintenance jobs and expenses.

HomeZada allows you to personalize your home-maintenance schedule and keep track of documents and costs for repairs. Evernote lets you create and organize your maintenance routines, download manuals for your products and send yourself reminders.

Keeping track of home-maintenance projects requires attention to details that many of us would rather ignore.

But it’s important to maintain accurate records not only to ensure that you’re caring for your investment properly, but also so that you’re not wasting money along the way. If you sell your home one day, you also will have a convenient and up-to-date record of major maintenance projects, such as a roof or appliance replacement, that can be a big selling point to buyers.

Designer Quintece Hill-Mattauszek created a cozy spot in a small outdoor area with this vintage cabana on the roof deck.

• DESIGNER

LEFT: Designer Betsy Barmat Stires warmed up a vanilla kitchen in the 2016 DC Design House in Washington, D.C.

Continued from page 41 Sanchez said. Her dusty-blue bedroom, with a lavish upholstered bed and French doors opening to a balcony, draws you in and makes you long for an Arianna Huffington-approved nap.

The first thing she did was upholster the walls. “That assures that all the sound gets absorbed and makes the room really restful,” Sanchez said. She installed a big Stark rug in shades of blue atop a thick jute pad. Other amenities include two kinds of reading lights: bedside lamps and swing-arm lamps.

The ceiling was painted Farrow & Ball’s Skylight. “A pale blue ceiling is perfect for a bedroom because it makes you look up and imagine the sky,” Sanchez said. “It helps you unwind.”

Create a cozy spot in a small outdoor area

Vintage Cabana/Roof Deck Designer: Quintece Hill-Mattauszek Studio Q Designs, Alexandria, Va. One of the tiniest spaces in this house is also one of the most charming.

When presented with a little roof deck on the top floor of the massive house,

Hill-Mattauszek thought of a glam place she’d like to relax with a cup of tea. She imagined a comfy narrow sofa covered with a canopy top and side drapery panels that could keep out the sun.

She built a cabana worthy of a retro Hollywood hotel pool, using indoor/outdoor white fabric and Tommy Bahama Home Swaying Palms print. She found galvanized-metal components for the frame at canopiesandtarps.com.

“Who wouldn’t want a roof deck like this?” Hill-Mattauszek said, looking up at

the trees. “But you could imagine this also on a small urban balcony or deck.”

Black and white is always right

Living Room Designer: Pamela Harvey Pamela Harvey Interiors, Oakton, Va. Classic architecture and molding give this formal room a head start in the style game. Harvey painted it Pointing, Farrow & Ball’s creamy white, and used the crisp combination of black and white. “Black and white

is timeless,” said Harvey, who added shades of green and lots of plants, including a seven-foot fig tree from Merrifield Garden Center and succulents from Home Depot.

She included a Steinway baby grand and three 1950s Hollywood Regency-style stools she found online at 1stdibs and upholstered in a green and white cut-velvet fabric. For the curtains, she chose a Schumacher black cotton moire.

“Several designers stopped by and said, ‘Wow, you are doing black window treatments.’ They were amazed. I don’t think it’s that common. I think it’s super sophisticated,” Harvey said. A pair of sofas were upholstered in durable white Sunbrella fabric. “I want people to sit on them and not be afraid,” she said.

Warm up a vanilla kitchen

Kitchen Designer: Betsy Barmat Stires Frog Hill Designs, Alexandria, Va. Although the original kitchen was large and luxurious, with lots of offwhite cabinets, a huge center island and granite counters, it lacked a special sense of style. Stires said, “I wanted to warm up the neutral kitchen setting

Go bold in unexpected places

Back Stairs Designer: Eve Fay Farrow & Ball, Washington, D.C. The back hall is not a glamorous assignment in a designer show house.

But Fay stepped up to the job by keeping this space simple yet bold. The back stairs that go down from the main floor to an entertaining level below were papered with a navy grid-patterned wallpaper, Enigma, by Farrow & Ball.

A gold chain suspends a golden 30-inch orb, the Mill Ceiling Light by Aerin for Circa. “I loved this fixture because it had scale and presence and could float in the air like a giant sphere,” Fay said.

Fay’s decorating restraint was evident in her choice of window covering for the 11-foot stairwell window: none.

From the pool, someone enjoying an evening swim can catch a glimpse of that golden orb softly glowing inside.

Something old can be reimagined Library Designers: Josh Hildreth and Victor Sanz There is a lot going on in the library, an Old World room with lots of fascinating art, photographs, vintage books and curiosities. And designers Hildreth and Sanz like it that way.

Their goal, they say, was to bring some patina and warmth to a plain, boxy room.

One of their major feats was to use an 18th-century French Aubusson woodland tapestry to create a rich look on one windowed wall, which otherwise looks onto a fence and the house next door. “The French put these on their castle walls to create warmth and create a view,” Hildreth said. “This also solves a modern problem.” Can’t spring for a tapestry?

Try an Oriental rug or an interesting textile, he said.

and build texture, since it had so little.”

Stires hired decorative painters from Dieter Pluntke Decorating to execute a wall treatment she created that resembles grasscloth in an overscale pattern. Farrow & Ball colors Mahogany and String and mixed glazes give it a polished and durable finish. The pattern nicely fills in the narrow spaces above and between the cabinets. She placed two gray antiqued balustrade lamps from Niermann Weeks on the counter. “I think lamps in a kitchen warm up the space and give any kitchen more of a human scale,” Stires said.

An arborist muses on life high in branches

By ADRIAN HIGGINS The Washington Post Scott Johnston has his feet on the ground but his heart in the air. Day in and out, he trusts his life to a harness, coils of half-inch rope and 35 years of knowledge gained by working in trees.

“Do you want me to rig up and climb a tree?” he said. That’s all right, I said, clinging to my notebook. I’m not sure my nerves could take it, even as a spectator. Johnston, who is 58 and looks like a maturing matinee idol, thinks nothing of getting high into an 80-foot oak or tulip tree. As an independent certified arborist, he has devoted his working life to trees, is passionate about them and, if you scratch below the cambium, is vexed by the way we treat them.

His firm, Johnston Tree Care (motto: A cut above), is based in Marshall, Va. I caught up with him at the State Arboretum of Virginia, just east of Winchester, where he was giving a class on pruning.

The students were gathered under the canopy of a yellowwood, a beautiful native tree that can be finicky: The same smooth, gray bark that gives the tree character is also easily damaged, and this one had three large inner branches with significant elongated wounds from winter sun scald.

If the students were looking at the damage, Johnston was seeing the healing, the way the tree was beginning to wrap the exposed heartwood with enclosing sapwood. Other branches that I might have taken out, he’d leave.

Every leaf you take away, he said, reduces the tree’s ability to feed itself.

The various parts of trees speak to one another, hormonally. If you remove a lot of the canopy, the roots respond by dying back – not a good thing.

So he is conservative when it comes to pruning, and subordinates our aesthetics to the tree’s biology. “I see trees made poorer by overpruning; it makes me cautious,” he said.

As close as we may live to trees, it’s amazing how many people don’t really see the big plants that give us shade, beauty, color and even, when leaves rustle, a little music. Or maybe we just shrink from them because of their sheer scale and mass. (The General Sherman sequoia in California, Johnston has calculated, weighs as much as 20,000 people.) “Trees are beyond me,” said one homeowner in the class.

“I just put them in God’s hands.”

Just don’t put them in the hands of the tree man who comes knocking on your door looking for work, especially if he arrives bearing photos of trees that have fallen on houses. This is a scare tactic to elicit work that isn’t necessary and will probably harm your trees, Johnston said. These days, the

Adrian Higgins / The Washington Post

Scott Johnston checks out a mature Norway spruce at the State Arboretum of Virginia. practice of simply reducing the size of a tree by arbitrarily cutting branches back “topping” – is universally understood to be harmful (except for crape myrtles, inexplicably). But a common alternative practice of thinning the canopy by stripping branches of foliage and leaving “lion’s tails” can be just as bad, Johnston said. Apart from the loss of foliage, the technique weakens branches, causes them to flail in a gale and break apart.

Even within the mainstream treecare industry, Johnston said, a lot of risks are overstated and work is oversold, with the idea that any tree with some decayed heartwood is ready to collapse. “People get excited because there’s a little cavity,” he said. Carpenter ants don’t cause trees to fall – they nest in already decayed wood – and a big limb above a house doesn’t neces-

sarily need removing. In fact, he said, to do so may cause more damage should the tree topple because the bough will brace the rest of the tree. “I have seen a lot of trees ruined,” Johnston said, by the removal of a large overhanging branch.

Formative pruning is important.

This is the practice of taking out undesirable branches when first planted to leave a proper scaffold of branching.

Moreover, when you buy a young tree, pick an individual “that isn’t full of problems,” johnston said.

During his career, he has seen more sophisticated climbing gear and a greater reliance on rope systems developed for other enterprises, including rock climbing and caving. What hasn’t changed is the chance to live and work in a world that most people don’t experience.

It can be a place unsuited to the fainthearted. Johnston has been known to come face to face with blacksnakes and hornets. And yes, cats really do get stuck in trees and need someone to rescue them. They are not necessarily grateful. Tip: Carry a pillowcase as a sack.

The more he is around trees, the more he is in awe of them. In his own years in their world, so much more has become known about how they live with soil organisms, how they repair damage and how they can communicate with other trees. “We know if a woodland is attacked by gypsy moths, trees miles away start producing far more defensive chemicals,” Johnston said. It seems unlikely that he will ever find a tree to be anything less than a living miracle.

“I can’t imagine working this hard if I didn’t care about it,” he said.

Jay Leno said, “The reason there are two senators for each state is so that one can be the designated driver.”

Today’s deal features two possible contracts, each of which might be chosen by South: three no-trump and five clubs. Today, we will look at three no-trump. How should the play proceed after West leads a low diamond?

After West opened one heart, North might have jumped to four clubs to show his seven-card suit, but that would have taken his side past three no-trump, which might have been the only game. When he settled for three clubs, South took a shot at three no-trump, but was nervous that five clubs would prove preferable.

South seemed prepared for a heart lead, so West tried a sneak diamond attack. This would work well against someone who does not plan his campaign at trick one.

Obviously, South must establish and run dummy’s club suit. But he has to anticipate that the defender with the ace will win the second round of the suit. Then declarer will need a dummy entry to cash the five club winners nestling there. What is that entry?

Obviously, in diamonds; and to leave West with no defense, South must take the first trick with his diamond king.

Check out this beautiful girl !

Luna like's long walks, belly rubs and of course food. Luna was picked up as a stray so her past is unknown. She is clearly part pug and we are guessing she might be mixed with beagle. She has an adorable face and her under-bite just adds to her character. We estimate her to be about 3 years of age and she is much smaller than she looks in her pictures weighing just 29lbs. She was shy with us at first but has come to love and adore the whole staff and volunteers. With some love and a gentle guidance, she will flourish and be a wonderful companion. She loves to play enjoys her toys and just thrives on attention. Luna gets a little overly stimulated during play and mouthy, so not suitable for very small children. Luna is spay, fully vetted, microchipped and available for adoption. For more information about Luna or other adoptable pets, please contact Kendall County Animal Control, Yorkville, IL. Phone # 630-553-9256.
