Tasting the treats at Sweet Natalie’s A few weeks back, I received an invitation to attend a tasting event for the media at Sweet Natalie’s, a gluten-free bakery at 228 S. Third St. in Geneva.

As I’ve recently adjusted my diet, taking out gluten and dairy (among other changes), I thought this would be a great event to attend.

On Feb. 28, I popped into Sweet Natalie’s to see what the bakery has to offer. It was a really fun trip.

First, I sat down with Ilene Keivel, the owner of Sweet Natalie’s, which was voted the best bakery in Kane County in our 2016 Best of The Fox reader’s choice contest.

Ilene told me she wanted to host the media event, which was followed by a Chamber event, so that she could further promote her business.

She said it was always her dream to open a bakery.

“I started this from the ground up,” she said. “I just thought I could bring in the best of the best.”

Sweet Natalie’s is a co-op, meaning individuals can rent the kitchen at the bakery and make and sell their items there. The bakery offers a variety of gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, Paleo, naturally sweetened, sugar-free, low-carb, yeast-free, grain-free, peanut-free, and tree nut-free food options.

Bakers at Sweet Natalie’s include Eye Candy Bake Shop, which offers specialty pastries and Paleo desserts, as well as custom cakes for weddings, birthdays and special occasions; Grassman Gourmet, which offers fudge baking kits; Maggie’s Daughter, which offers gluten-free pies and tarts, as well as savory items;

Forbidden Sweets, which offers decorated rice crispy treats that are nut-free; Smart Cookie Baker, which offers sugar-free and low-carb breads, cakes, cookies and crackers; Simply Baked Gluten-Free, which offers a variety of gluten-free products; One More Salsa, which offers gourmet salsa; Dainty Delights, which specializes in gluten-free desserts; Lia P, which offers brioche breads, hot dog buns, hamburger buns, French baguettes, cinnamon bread, pizza crusts, biscotti and baking mixes; and Lovely Candy, which offers gluten-free and vegan candy, caramels and licorice.

I tried a buttermilk biscuit and snickerdoodle cookie from Simply Baked during the media event. Both items tasted great.

Christine Welch, founding officer of Simply Baked, said being at Sweet Natalie’s offers a sense of community.

“It’s really my belief that aller-

gen-free food is needed,” she said. “[Customers] know that they’re safe with our product.”

Also at the event was Sherrill Johnson, who owns Grassman Gourmet with her sister Christy Grassman. They sell kid-friendly fudge kits for $7.95. The box the kit comes in can be used as the fudge pan, which is environmentally friendly, they said.

“It’s super easy,” Sherrill said of the fudge kits. “We’re brand new, so we’re getting our name out there.”

I also tried a rice crispy sample from Forbidden Sweets, which had an amazingly colorful table showcasing treats on sticks and in other forms decorated as Hello Kitty, emojis, doughnuts or a business’ custom design.

In addition, I tried salsa from One More Salsa and a chicken pot pie sample from Maggie’s Daughter.

Amy Reed Hogrefe with Maggie’s Daughter said she was glad to be at Sweet Natalie’s.

“It’s tough to find places with the dedicated gluten-free kitchen and sales area,” she said. “It’s the best of both worlds.”

Challenge yourself: Do something that scares you I have adopted two new mantras as I move forward into 2017. Both of them came from unexpected places, but isn’t that sometimes where the greatest nuggets of wisdom are found?

The first one came from a newly minted poet attending Writer’s Night.

She began attending our group and said she always wanted to write, but of course there are the normal barriers existing in time and life. Then she uttered a sentence that seemingly burned into my brain. She said she wanted to start writing because she had the thought to “do something that scares me.” Say that sentence again quietly and thoughtfully and let it sink in. “Do something that scares me.”

Sometimes the very act of beginning a new craft, hobby or any endeavor that will challenge us is scary. The admitting of such is unique, as by nature many of us fear appearing fumbling or imperfect, especially in the age of social media where things are hashtagged as #fail.

LIBRARY LIGHTS Shannon Halikias We may be caught unaware on camera, turned into a funny meme, or poked fun at on Facebook. Unattainable also exists online as perfection is emulated by the glowing yoga pose, photoshopped beach body, or Pinterest-splendid crafts the likes of which many could never possibly do.

In civic resources we are wired to make sure things are meeting clear needs – definitely a priority – but we can narrow experimenting in order to make sure we are being the best stewards possible. We all fear failure for different reasons, be it a waste of our emotions, efforts or resources.

My second mantra came from a street sign in front of Amazing Air in North Aurora. I drove past it the first time and had to turn around to go back

and take a picture so I wouldn’t forget the phrase.

“Even if you fall on your face, you still move forward.”

Even when we fall, even when we fail we’ve hopefully made some sort of progress as we learn a lesson or stretch ourselves. I jokingly referred to this new mantra as “faceplants for progress.”

Sometimes I can be very good at faceplants in love, relationships, managing very human people, or my perfectly imperfect parenting. But with every fall, I either grow stronger, or wiser, or maybe realized that a failure is a success because it means I tried. I’ve moved forward. Sometimes we may just simply be knocked down seven times, but standing up an eighth time and being humbled isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The very act of standing after a failure is in itself a little victory.

I am tying those two thoughts together in my new year, and sharing these thoughts with my staff. As we progress through our next few years,

you will see us try new things. Some may be amazing, and some may be faceplants. I will be supportive and appreciative of all new ideas from patrons and staff because we may very well be trying a new program at the same time a patron is utilizing resources to make their own leap in life. Our patrons make choices every day to go back to school, to take up a new activity, to start a business, to develop a new interest. Many beginnings for patrons are born at our library.

I’d like to say we encouraged people to do something that scared them, to encourage them when they fail, and cheer when they succeed.

For about 30 years, the Kane County Mounted Rangers group and its horses have been patrolling Kane County forest preserves with the intention of deterring crime. The volunteers also carry first-aid kits, do search and rescue, direct traffic for cross country races, and march in parades.

“They’re a wonderful group of people, and they’re a tremendous help,” said Mike Gilloffo, chief of police for the Forest Preserve District of Kane County. “We have over 90 properties scattered all over the county, and trying to patrol those with the police I have budgeted is a tremendous task.”

There are many forest preserve areas that the forest preserve police can’t access from their vehicles, and it’s those areas where people often might be tempted to go against the warning signs. Many times, the warnings are about safety. It is in these areas that the mounted rangers can go, often giving reminders that encourage people to keep a safe and family-friendly environment.

One place that’s off the road that many people find tempting is in the Big Rock Forest Preserve.

“There’s a lake, and it’s very dangerous,” Gilloffo said. “The rangers make that one of their patrol areas. They just tell the kids, and they get out.

serve in a warm and professional manner,” he said. “One of the skills we look for is how you interact with the general public.”

The horses also have to be friendly and capable of remaining calm among crowds of people or in the presence of loud sounds.

The community of volunteer rangers is also appealing to many who join the group, which has regular meetings and always patrol in pairs.

“I’ve been doing it for the last three years,” Paddock said. “It’s the camaraderie between the people, and it’s just one of those things that you get hooked on. You’re riding your horse and helping at the same time. What could be better than that?”

Horse lovers can probably relate to Paddock’s philosophy on the animals.

“I call it my sanity,” he said. “If I’m Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com in a bad mood, then I’ll go out with my Kane County Mounted Ranger Connie Blaney of Sugar Grove prepares her horse Shiloh for horse for an hour and feel better. ...

3 candidates vie for Elburn village president

By SUSAN O’NEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com ELBURN – All three candidates for Elburn village president strongly agree on one thing: Communication within the village could be much better.

Current Village Board Trustees David Gualdoni and Jeff Walter and candidate Chris Mondi all said they would improve communication with residents. Mondi said the village needs to make it easier for people to find out what is going on. They all emphasized that listening to residents is just as important as talking.

“This is not my town,” Gualdoni said. “Elburn belongs to all the residents.”

All three also see improvements to the downtown area as one of their first priorities if elected, including sidewalk and road repairs, as well as cleaning up and updating the parks.

Walter helped create a volunteer parks committee made up of residents, with him and Trustee Pat Schuberg as liaisons. He said he is

looking forward to getting the group set up and running.

The candidates agree that the village needs to focus on economic development. They all mentioned a willing- Jeffrey ness to discuss possi- Walter ble tax breaks to bring new businesses to town.

Gualdoni suggested looking at creating a tax increment financing district or special service area to raise funds for necessary infrastruc- David t u r e i m p r o v e m e n t s . Gualdoni Walter also suggested posting the retail space and available property on the village’s website.

“Economic development has taken a back seat for too long,” Walter said.

Christopher At the same time, Mondi they feel it is important to support the current businesses in town and make improvements to what is already there.

“We need to finish what we started before all the resources get shifted to Elburn Station,” Mondi said, referring to Elburn’s upcoming mixed-use development.

Both Mondi and Gualdoni have been contractors for the village, as well as for other municipalities. Mondi provided mowing and snowplowing for 10 years through his business.

Both said they have seen up close the inefficiencies in how the village provides services.

Mondi and Gualdoni both feel the village should do more to foster the feeling of community with more events such as Elburn Days. Mondi said that even offering simple things, such as movies or music in the park, would work to bring people together.

Gualdoni’s civic involvement within the village includes leadership in El-

burn’s Citizens Emergency Response Team. CERT provides emergency response training to community members, giving them skills to assist others in their community or workplace in a disaster or other emergency until the professional responders arrive.

He would like to see clear village policies in place to address an emergency situation, should it arise.

Both Gualdoni and Mondi observed things in the village that they would like to improve and change.

“You can only complain about something for so long – I wanted to do something about it,” Mondi said.

Gualdoni said he would start by making sure the right people are in the right jobs, and would address what he said is poor morale among village staff.

He also wants to improve cooperation between the village, Elburn Lions Club and Elburn Chamber of Commerce.

“We need to all be on the same page,” he said.

Walter said he is running for village president, not to change things, but to build on the solid foundation that is already there. He also would like to see

By Sandy Bressner, photo editor at the Kane County Chronicle

I spent a fun Saturday morning a couple of weeks ago with a group of volunteers who patrol areas of the Forest Preserve District of Kane County. They even let their human owners and caregivers come along!

After some good brushing, Domino, Bella and Shiloh were eager to venture out for a walk in the unseasonably warm February weather. The trio headed to the Big Rock Forest Preserve to serve as part of the Kane County Mounted Rangers group.

While there, the volunteers patrol the preserve to help deter crime. They also carry first-aid kits, do search and rescue, direct traffic for cross country races and march in parades.

Pictured: Kane County Mounted Ranger volunteer Daryl Paddock leaves the barn at J & L Stable in Big Rock with his horse, Domino.

Goldenrod galls are particularly noticeable this time of year. Each gumball-sized growth initially houses a young goldenrod gall fly, but later can be used by a variety of other small creatures, including spiders, beetles, bees and wasps.

Photo provided

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto and shape of a gumball.

I say “for the most part” because not every goldenrod gall fly lives this life of luxury.

Some are parasitized by beetles and wasps, while others are consumed by chickadees and downy woodpeckers.

Those that do survive will go on to wake from diapause in spring, then pupate and emerge as adults that will begin the cycle all over again.

(Here’s a fun fact: Adult gall flies do not have the proper appendages to engineer an escape and hence would be helplessly trapped inside their former safehouses were it not for one amazing feat.

Note to readers This column has been updated from its original version, which ran in 2013.

Driven by instinct, and a pair of mouth hooks, the gall fly larva excavates an exit tunnel in fall, stopping just short of the thin epidermal layer of the plant. Post pupation, all the adult fly needs to do is ram through the fragile skin. Like a football player breaking through a banner on game day, it’s free to take wing. Go team Gall Fly!) At this point, you may be thinking we’ve come to the end of the Tale of the Gall.

Successful emergence means the gall’s usefulness is over and done with, right?

Well, not quite.

Like so many other fascinating facets of nature, the end of this story actually is the beginning of several others.

Provided they weren’t excavated by bird beaks, or chewed upon by rodents, those galls have plenty of utility left. The tough, corky interior can still protect inhabitants from intruders, and the chambers that once housed gall fly larvae can provide sufficient, even spacious, accommodations for a new round of occupants.

Scientists investigating secondary uses of goldenrod galls have discovered all sorts of creatures holed up inside these sturdy, ready-made structures. Small species of wasps, bees, spiders and beetles – many that are important parasites or predators of pest

species – take advantage of the space inside the galls’ nearly impenetrable walls.

Wasps will cover the chamber’s exit hole with a tiny bit of mud; bees will fill it with a parchment-like plug; and spiders may add a dollop of silken web as a door.

The next time you’re tempted to dismiss a growth on a plant stem as “just another goldenrod gall,” remember that it’s the work of E. solidaginis – a fruitful fly indeed.

A few weeks ago I received an email from a nice woman named Wendy. A member of the Carver County Horticultural Society in Minnesota, she’d come across a “Good Natured” column on goldenrod galls and wanted to know whether she could share the information with her club. I said sure, then went out for a walk. And guess what I found?

Goldenrod galls. Everywhere!

It made me realize that the topic is just as timely now as when it first ran. Even better, goldenrod gall technology is virtually unchanged since the piece first ran. So, without further ado, please enjoy this column from March 2013.

Let’s face it, fruit flies have an image problem.

Some are serious agricultural pests – remember California’s infamous medfly infestation? Others, namely the Drosophilidae, are known primarily for the way they hover around overripe fruit. (Who hasn’t swatted away these tiny creatures as they’ve swarmed over a bowl of browning bananas? People raising tiny toads, that’s who.)

There is, however, another type of fruit fly living in our midst, one that goes about its business quietly, aiding several other beneficial species along the way: the goldenrod gall fly.

If you’ve ever walked past a field of goldenrod, you’re probably familiar with this industrious creature. Or at least the products of its industry.

In late spring and early summer, females of the species Eurosta solidaginis lay individual eggs in the terminal buds of goldenrod, or Solidago spp., plants. The eggs hatch in a week or so, and the wee larvae burrow their way down into the pith, or spongy middle part of the stem. Once ensconced, they go about their business of feeding on plant juices and growing. As they expand, so too does the plant tissue around them, probably in response to chemicals emitted by the baby bug.

This time of year the immature flies for the most part are safely insulated within the plant’s stem, nestled in their homes that by this point have swollen to roughly the size

Continued from page 6 things he worked on as a board member, such as Elburn Station and the parks committee, come to fruition.

With the village’s comprehensive plan in place, he wants to create – with residents’ input – a strategic plan for the village’s future when the population reaches 10,000.

“Now is the time to start,” he said.

Gualdoni and Mondi also agree that the village needs a plan for the future.

“We need a five-, 10-, 15-year plan, and

to be held accountable for it,” Mondi said.

Walter said his financial background, leadership and management experiences in varied settings, including two terms on the Village Board and military service, make him the best fit for the position.

Gualdoni said he brings both his board experience and hands-on experience at two municipalities. His valuable leadership skills are his approachability and his honesty.

“I tell you how it is,” he said.

Mondi said he represents a fresh perspective and new blood.

“Nothing will change if the other two are elected,” he said.

Illinois Department of Revenue announces 2016 Kane County multiplier KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com SPRINGFIELD – Kane County has been issued a final property assessment equalization factor of 1.0000, according to Illinois Department of Revenue Director Constance Beard.

The property assessment equalization factor – or multiplier – is the method used to achieve uniform property assessments among counties, a news release stated. The equalization is important because

some of the state’s 6,600 local taxing districts overlap two or more counties, such as school districts, junior college districts and fire protection districts.

If there were no equalization among counties, substantial inequities among taxpayers with comparable properties would result, the release stated.

Under law passed in 1975, property in Illinois should be assessed at one-third of its market value. Farm property is assessed differently and is not subject to the multiplier.

How can

Dr. Mennerick

Assessments in Kane County are at 33.27 percent of market value, based on sales of properties in 2013, 2014 and 2015.

The equalization factor announced is for 2016 taxes, payable in 2017. Last year’s equalization factor for the county also was 1.0000. The equalization factor is determined annually for each county by comparing the price of individual properties sold over the past three years to the assessed value placed on those properties by the county supervisor of as-

Tax bills are determined by local taxing bodies when they request money each year to provide services. If the amount requested by local taxing districts is not greater than the amount received in the previous year, then total property taxes will not increase, even if assessments increase.

The assessed value of an individual property determines what portion of the tax burden a specific taxpayer will assume. That individual’s portion of tax responsibility is not changed by the multiplier.

sessments or county assessor.

If the three-year average level of assessment is one-third of the market value, the equalization factor will be 1. If the average level of assessment is greater than one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be less than 1. And if the average level of assessment is less than one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be greater than 1.

A change in the multiplier does not mean total property tax bills will increase or decrease.

Walter Edwin Busker Jr., age 80, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Tuesday, February 28, 2017 at his winter residence in Placida, Florida. He was also a long-time resident of Geneva/St. Charles, Illinois.

Walter was born in Chicago to Walter and Mildred Busker, grew up in North Muskegon, Michigan, and graduated from Dartmouth College. Walt spent most of his career as a successful sales executive in the corrugated container industry. He enjoyed the company of friends and family, especially over a cold beverage at the end of the day. He was a past president and 39-year member of the Geneva Golf Club. As an avid golfer, he played over 250 rounds a year and parred the last hole of his final round at Lemon Bay Golf Club the day before he died. He was a competitor in everything he did, whether it was business, golf, sailing, fishing or cards. He lived life to the fullest and always on his own terms.

Walt was a loving husband and father and is survived by his wife Lee, sons Brad and Clay, daughter-in-law Quincy, grandson Graham, a brother, two sisters and nieces and nephews.

There will be a gathering of friends and family at Placida Harbour Club on Saturday, March 4. There will also be a memorial service and reception at the Geneva Golf Club in Geneva, Illinois at a later date.

In lieu of flowers the family suggests a gift to the American Heart Association, the Western Golf Association Evans Scholarship Foundation, or the charity of your choice.

Light or dark chocolate?

More than a matter of taste A confession: I eat my chocolate in the morning.

About 5, 5:30. That way, its caffeine and sugar won’t hold me hostage to consciousness come bedtime. Engage a chocolate cupcake or bowl of chocolate mousse at dinner, and I’ll lie awake longer than listening to illegal Indiana fireworks until the early morning hours of July 5.

I speak of chocolate, however, not to bury it, but to praise its dialectical nature.

Lots of Tri-Cities folks may blow off voting in off-season elections, but they have a bottomless lust for one choice or another, pulled to dark or milk chocolate more religiously than to church.

Walk into Geneva’s Graham’s Fine Chocolates or All Chocolate Kitchen, and you’ll hear definitive voices.

“A dozen dark chocolate mint melt-aways.”

“Make it four giant milk chocolate pieces with pecans.”

My early years favored the milk; a Fannie May milk chocolate-covered cherry, sweet as an angel’s dewdrop, elicited a two-minute bliss that would shame a drug lord’s best injection.

But show me a pickedover sampler box offering only nasty-looking charcoal briquettes – that tasted no better – and I’d relieve my taste buds instead with a stick of licorice-tinged Black Jack gum. No matter what treasure lay buried inside, there was no skirting the bitter, acidic dark chocolate’s iron bars imprisoning the delicious nut, cherry or almond cream. The few times I tried to pick off the candy’s noir veneer, my fingernails looked like I tried to peel a bowling ball, while sticky, crimson filling staining my shirt made people think I’d lost a knife fight with a jar of cherry jam.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

RIVER TOWN CHRONICLES Rick Holinger findings that led us to celebrate health over taste, such as drinking a daily cup of green tea, acknowledging yams the new broccoli, and encouraging dark chocolate as a way of life.

Huh? Candy that challenged Moms’ warnings everywhere that it rotted our teeth and spoiled our dinner?

I’m in!

An internet search (Authority Nutrition) affirms the cacao in dark chocolate possibly provides nutrition, supplies antioxidants, eases blood flow and lowers blood pressure, raises HDL (the good cholesterol), lowers the risk of heart disease, helps our skin fight sun damage, and improves brain function (yes!).

Oh, yeah, two caveats.

When buying dark chocolate, go organic and buy the grassfed hazelnut bar. Second, the chocolate needs a minimal 70 percent cacao content for most benefits to count.

So what’s the takeaway here? Maturity. Like most other things, transforming into an adult, along with perks like no longer being required to answer the phone when your mother calls, comes with responsibility and restraint.

Like replacing pop with water, fast food with kale, and milk chocolate with (gulp) dark.

Exceptions to the rule: When riding roller coasters, writing poetry or dancing, stay a child. The younger, the better.

Reforming the tax code

To the editor: Now that we have a Republican-controlled House, Senate and White House, it is time, finally, to reform the U.S. tax code.

Our tax code is so complex that each year it costs more and more just to do our taxes, not to mention pay them.

Congressman Peter Roskam is the new chairman of the House Ways and Means Tax Policy Subcommittee. He is committed to making our tax code simpler, fairer and flatter. This will benefit ALL Americans.

A history lesson on King Tut reawakens love for ancient Egypt In the sixth grade, my class did research projects about Egypt. Kids were in groups of two and were assigned topics such as the ancient pyramids, pharaohs, mummies and hieroglyphics.

My partner and I got a super exciting topic to research about Egypt: topography. While my classmates were learning about all types of cool pharaohs and Egyptian tombs, my research project consisted of learning about water, sand and mountains in Egypt.

I have always been fascinated with ancient Egypt; the ancient Egypt exhibit at the Field Museum has always been my favorite. I was reminded of this Egyptian research project that I did years ago this past week when we started talking about ancient Egypt, specifically, King Tut, in my humanities class.

My professor divided my class into six groups, and each group had to do

BEFORE THE DIPLOMA Denise Cartina research and come up with a theory as to how King Tut died. As of right now, his death is still unknown. While trying to come up with a possible cause of death for King Tut, I learned a lot about him that I did not know before, such as how his parents were likely brother and sister.

Keep in mind that during this time, incest was not taboo. Rulers thought that inbreeding would keep the royal bloodline pure. King Tut ruled for 10 years, from about age 9 up until his death at about age 19.

Since he ruled at such a young age, he’s known as the “boy king.” King Tut was a product of incest, and, thus, he had many genetic defects. While some movies and television shows

may have originally depicted the pharaoh as attractive and powerful, he was anything but that.

Because of his parents being siblings, it’s been discovered that he likely had a club foot, feminine hips, lips like a woman and a pronounced overbite. When his tomb was discovered, there were countless amounts of walking sticks due to his club foot. He also had malaria and a bone disorder.

So, why have we always thought of King Tut being such a glorious pharaoh, when, in fact, he was rather weak? Part of the reason why King Tut was so fascinating to people was because his body was completely intact when they discovered his tomb, and he was buried with a ton of treasures.

There is also evidence that King Tut’s burial was rushed, and that he may have been entombed before the paint fully dried. The most likely theory as to how King Tut died is that he

broke his leg and got an infection in the wound, which led to his death.

During class discussion, some groups insisted that King Tut was murdered, but I don’t believe that. He had too many birth defects and illnesses that seem to prove to be the cause of his death, and very little evidence to back up the theory as to why someone would want to kill him.

After learning further details about the “boy king” in class, I have rediscovered my love for ancient Egypt.

Now I can’t stop watching videos about King Tut.

Kaneland falls in OT in regional final

By EDDIE CARIFIO ecarifio@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Jack Mizgalski’s 3-pointer with 30 seconds left in overtime against the Kaneland boys basketball team put the finishing touches on what he essentially called the Spartans’ revenge tour through the Class 3A Sycamore regional.

Fifth-seeded Sycamore beat No. 8 Kaneland 37-36 in the final March 3, two days after beating Genoa-Kingston in the semifinal.

Both the Knights and Spartans spent a big chunk of the game running down the clock, including Kaneland taking 90 seconds off the clock early in overtime. Kaneland’s Jake Hed got the first points of overtime, making a 3-pointer with 1:53 left. Jordan Tolzin answered with a putback 30 seconds later for Sycamore.

The Knights (10-21) almost ran off another 30 seconds before Sycamore fouled. Hed made one of his two free throws as Kaneland went ahead 36-34 with 49.3 seconds left.

On the next possession, Sycamore’s Ty Sulaver drove to the basket but kicked it out to Mizgalski, who was open in the corner and drained the shot with 30 seconds left.

“It was just Ty creating and he did a great job with it,” Mizgalski said. “My guy helped off and I was open. It was a great pass by him and I made the shot.”

Both Sycamore coach Ryan Picolotti and Kaneland coach Joe Conroy said it was a heads-up play by Sulaver.

“That was a great job by coach Picolotti to call that and the players to execute,” Conroy said. “Again, Ty, a senior, to finish going down the stretch. ... We were just trying to switch everything and not give up a wide-open look, and I think that was pretty wide open.”

Both teams had trouble getting their offenses going, and it was exasperated

by Kaneland running big stretches off the clock early. The Knights led 5-3 after one quarter, but a 9-0 run in the second by the Spartans – including seven points from James Marcinkowski – put Sycamore back in command.

Conroy said he believed the Knights would benefit from a shorter game, especially after Kaneland senior Dan Franck got in foul trouble.

“I know the crowd doesn’t enjoy that type of game, but we don’t play to the crowd, we play to win,” Conroy said.

“We had to do whatever we could to get to the third quarter within striking distance to get Dan back in. We knew we weren’t going to win the battle of the boards without him on the floor.”

The Knights retook the lead at 22-21 late in the third on a layup by Franck.

But Sycamore answered with a 3-point-

er by Ethan Heinrich, who finished with a team-high eight points.

Sycamore kept the lead until Kaneland’s Kyle Stuart hit a 3-pointer with 2:24 left to tie the game at 32. After a timeout by the Spartans, they ran the clock down, but Sycamore’s Keyshawn Stallworth was called for a foul away from the ball with 1:06 left.

Kaneland then held the ball and

tried a late 3-point attempt, but Franck missed to close out regulation.

After Mizgalski’s three in overtime, Kaneland held for the last shot, but Mason Conroy missed a long 3-point attempt as time expired.

“The game doesn’t come down to one play,” Joe Conroy said. “It doesn’t come down to Dan missing a shot at the end of regulation, it doesn’t come

down to Mason missing a shot at the end of overtime. It came down to the rebounds we didn’t get.”

Sycamore held a 24-20 edge on the boards in the game, and an 11-4 advantage on the offensive glass. The Spartans had 10 second-chance points while the Knights didn’t have any.

Stuart led all scorers with 11 points, while Hed added 10. Franck scored three points and had a team-leading six rebounds.

The season came to an end for the Knights, who after beating IMSA in a regional quarterfinal game knocked off No. 2 Aurora Central Catholic in the semifinals on Feb. 28.

“Truthfully, the kids gave it all they had,” Joe Conroy said. “We’ve had a lot of injuries, and just to watch the resilience of the kids bouncing back, then to lose by one in overtime, we can’t hang our heads on that.

“All the ups, all the downs, all the long stretches of losses, they never gave up and they never quit,” Conroy said. “And they got themselves to a championship. You can’t ask for much more than that.”

SYCAMORE – Kaneland boys basketball coach Joe Conroy said his Knights were better than their record indicates.

They proved it in a Class 3A regional semifinal at Sycamore on Feb. 28.

Entering the postseason with eight wins, the No. 8-seeded Knights used a key run in the middle of the third quarter and held on for a 48-40 upset over No. 2 seed Aurora Central Catholic.

It was Kaneland’s second playoff victory.

“I think we finally put a game together where we played our way,” Conroy said. “Right now, we’re the underdog. All year long, we’ve felt like we’re better than our record shows.

We’ve played some really good basketball teams and we’ve really taken our lumps all year. We feel like we still have more to prove.”

Kaneland, which improved to 1020 with the win, was 6-18 at one point late in the season before finding more steady success, including a 61-39 win over No. 11 IMSA in the first round of the regional.

The Knights led for nearly the entire second half against the Chargers, thanks to a timely 6-0 run in the third quarter that featured two free throws by senior Jake Hed, a layup by senior Dan Franck and a fast-break pull-up jumper by senior Mason Conroy. The burst put Kaneland ahead 25-20 with 3:26 left in the period, and the Knights never gave up the lead the rest of the way.

“The intensity was for sure cranked up, but it was fun,” said Franck, who tied a career high with 24 points and added 10 rebounds. “I think we just didn’t close out games [earlier in the season]. I think that’s what it was.”

Franck was an offensive force for the Knights in the fourth quarter. With the Knights leading 28-27 early in the period, they went on a 9-2 run with the left-handed senior accounting for all nine points.

Franck finished 10 for 17 from the field and 4 for 6 from the foul line.

The Chargers (20-7) got 15 points from senior Brett Czerak, who went 6 for 17 from the floor with Kaneland’s Kyle Stuart drawing the defensive assignment.

Joe Conroy said Stuart, who had five points and six rebounds, “was a man all night.”

Hed had four points and five rebounds, and Mason Conroy added four points and five rebounds.

Kaneland got a big boost at the foul line from junior center Blake Feiza, who missed time this season with a thumb injury. He finished with 11

Franck scored 24 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in Kaneland’s 48-40 win. points and six rebounds and went 9 for 11 from the free-throw line, including 7 for 8 in the fourth quarter.

“Blake Feiza stepped up and made a lot of clutch free throws,” Franck said.

The Knights’ wins this season have come courtesy of a stingy defense.

Eight of their 10 victories have come when they’ve held the opposing team to 40 points or fewer.

Kaneland opened with a defense that Joe Conroy said it hadn’t showed all season, and the Chargers didn’t get their first field-goal attempt until there was 7:02 left in the opening quarter, a missed 3-point attempt by junior Kyle Czerak.

The Knights also showed plenty of patience on offense, especially when they held the lead in the second half.

Coming out of halftime with the ball and a 19-18 advantage, the Knights didn’t attempt their first field goal until there was 6:45 left in the quarter.

“We wanted long possessions because we know they score a lot of points and have won a lot of games scoring a lot of points,” Conroy said.

Restaurant reviews

The Grandstander in Geneva has much to boast GENEVA – A fresh addition to Geneva’s Third Street dining scene is The Grandstander, a surprising hybrid that unites the pleasures of a sports bar with an adventurous menu.

On a late Sunday afternoon, we ventured inside and found a contemporary space with a sleek, industrial-chic vibe set off by white, tiled walls. Wood adds a warm tone with wellspaced high-tops, a low banquette and tables for seating.

The focal point is the bar offering about 18 beers on tap, with dozens of bottled brews available. A clever visual for the drafts is the row of back-lit mason jars filled with beers whose sliding color scale gives the palate a heads-up and will make stout enthusiasts smile.

While beers are center stage, The Grandstander also has a thoughtful collection of wines and cocktails.

As we dined, flat-screens were tuned to football, with subdued audio. The modern chandeliers were turned low, which not only sharpened the game viewing, but lent a romantic mood. And given the menu’s appeal, The Grandstander is likely to draw beyond sports fans and double as a date-night option.

Unfurled on a giant paper roll along the back wall is the day’s special. Studying the globally influenced menu, we were torn between the handmade foie duck sausage with cherry compote, bleu cheese and red onion; a lobster corn dog appetizer; hot smoked chicken; root vegetable curry; roasted organic salmon; Cubano sandwich; and a salad of arugula and Serrano ham.

We opted to open with the Peruvian lamb chop appetizer.

A generous trio of tender, juicy chops arrived, with a slight kick from the aji amarillo, a yellow pepper sauce, accompanied by a house specialty, the pickled slaw.

We were wowed by the chops, a rich and hearty appetizer, and are already planning to build another meal around them. The slaw is subtle and outstanding.

I chose The Grandstander burger, and was treated to a flavorful and lean patty of grass-fed beef that’s organic and hormone-free. The dish paid homage to an American classic with wonderfully crisp iceberg lettuce, tomato, American cheese and “secret sauce,” plus caramelized onions and pickle slices that were a treat unto themselves.

The large portion provided a delicious lunch the next day.

The burger was accompanied by superlative fries, cooked perfectly and enhanced by herbs.

We couldn’t resist trying the roasted cauliflower side dish, prepared with pistachio pesto and preserved lemon and mint. It was a nice twist on an often bland vegetable, and arrived, like my fries, in a mini casserole dish that kept it warm throughout the meal.

Sauces hail from around the globe

Aioli, a garlicky mayonnaise from Provence, pairs perfectly with a juicy burger.

By LINDA BASSETT More Content Now Hamburgers are always a hit. Especially in summer.

I pulled together some topping recipes from around the globe – Asia, France and Mexico. All taste great on a burger in a soft seeded roll or a big fat bulky roll. Tasty without the roll, too.

Slather them on as thickly as you like.

The burgers just get better and better.

Best part: You never need to turn on your stove to make these.

From Asia, there’s raita, a creamy cucumber sauce, and a peanut-y sauce meant for chicken but delicious on a burger, too. From France, two classics: Tapenade, a salty olive spread, and the garlicky mayonnaise from Provence called aioli. We all love traditional Mexican salsa and guacamole, buying them by the gallon. Homemade versions will up your game.

RAITA

Makes about 1 cup.

This cool cucumber sauce, made with yogurt, is healthy and luscious.

2 cups plain whole milk Greek yogurt 1 large English cucumber, peeled and coarsely grated 1 teaspoon coarse grain sea salt 2 heaping tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro 4 heaping tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint Place the yogurt in a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Refrigerate for an hour to drain out any extra moisture.

Stir together the yogurt, grated cucumber, cilantro and mint in a bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap; chill for 30 minutes. Taste; and stir in salt.

FAMILY

Parenthood’s bad rap

Looking at the research, having children makes us better, if not happier

By SHERIL KIRSHENBAUM The Washington Post Not long ago, my toddler, Atlas, bounded into the kitchen exclaiming, “Mommy, come see the river!”

I cringed, recognizing that a river might have several meanings to a 3-year-old who loves playing with faucets and still hasn’t perfected potty training. When he pointed toward the hallway where we have a map, a wave of relief washed over me. Maybe I ought to trust this kid more.

Then I saw it – two long black wavy lines of indelible marker coursing down the wall.

“I made a river,” he announced sweetly, “just for you!” as I realized I now had a new painting project.

Parenthood isn’t easy, but lately it seems to be getting an unnecessarily bad reputation. One widely cited study of 22 countries recently reported parents tended to be unhappier than non-parents. And they attributed this “parenthood gap in happiness” to the financial and other stress of raising children “in countries that do not provide public assistance,” such as subsidized day care and paid parental leave.

The Department of Agriculture estimates that Americans spend an average of $245,000 per child between birth and age 18. And then there’s the stress of small stuff such as sharing my house with a 3-foot-tall graffiti artist.

Children can be exhausting, isolating and expensive. So if they truly make us unhappy, why do we keep having them?

Our ancestors required big families for hunting and farming, but that’s not necessary in the 21st century. As a mother, I know I wouldn’t trade the experience for the world, but my years as a scientist made me curious about what research can tell us. I dug into the findings, and it turns out there’s a lot of evidence for how children affect the physical and emotional life of their parents and a myriad ways in which they can boost both our health and happiness.

Parenthood certainly doesn’t start as a cakewalk: Friends and I jokingly refer to the first three months as “100 days of darkness” while on call 24/7 in an endless cycle of feed, wipe, bathe, repeat. Yet we persevere, and that’s in part because of the way nature tricks parents into adoring their

Sheril Kirshenbaum holds her son, Atlas. “Children can be exhausting, isolating and expensive,” says the author. So “why do we keep having them?” tiny new minion.

Early on, we enjoy a kind of natural high by staying close to and caring for a baby. A newborn’s scent triggers an increase in a mother’s brain of dopamine, a chemical associated with anticipation and reward.

This neurotransmitter brings about feelings of intense pleasure and is associated with addiction. Dopamine essentially makes us crave being with the baby. Long after infancy, moms can experience the same dopamine-reward response simply by seeing their child smile. In a sense, when our kids are happy, we feel it.

Dopamine isn’t the only chemical working on parents. Yale University

scientists have found both mothers and fathers experience a rise in levels of oxytocin when a baby enters the family. Often called “the love hormone,” it promotes attachment, a sense of euphoria and intense love while decreasing stress. It also helps to buffer against challenges such as sleep deprivation.

The first months can be tough, with aches and pains, bleary eyes and the baby blues – or worse – for some women.

But hormones and neurotransmitters usually fool us into believing our baby is the most wonderful creature in the world. Yes, we may be temporarily delusional, but this naturally

occurring chemical cocktail helps us make it through the exhaustion and even forget enough of that period so we’re often willing to do it all over again. Fortunately, there are major perks for going through the struggle.

A study of nearly 140,000 postmenopausal women found those who had breast-fed their baby for at least a year had a lowered risk for several serious health conditions, including Type 2 diabetes. They also had a lower incidence of high blood pressure, heart disease and breast and ovarian cancer. We often hear that “breast is best” for baby, but while it can be a pain for moms – quite literally – it appears to lead to long-term health benefits.

In the shorter term, of course, kids can – and frequently do – make us sick. Comedian Louis C.K. once aptly noted, “Kids are like buckets of disease that live in your house,” which seems to be my day-to-day reality.

When my son comes down with a bug, I’m not just exposed to germs, I’m usually elbow-deep in them. On multiple occasions, he has managed to cough directly into my mouth. My husband recently shared our son’s bout of hand, foot and mouth disease – timed perfectly for a job interview.

However, the data suggests parenthood actually offers some protection from illness. Scientists at Carnegie Mellon found mothers and fathers exposed to a cold virus are less likely to get sick compared with non-parents.

But while health and happiness strongly are correlated in many studies, that doesn’t necessarily translate for parents. When Princeton and Stony Brook scientists surveyed 1.8 million Americans, they found that while “parents and non-parents have similar levels of life satisfactions,” parents often had more emotionally intense lives: They expressed higher highs and more joy than non-parents, although they also reported feeling more worry, stress and anger.

In other words, parenthood fundamentally changes us, often in surprising ways. Being a mother or a father tends to require we become less self-involved and more generous with others – that is, with our kids.

It provides a strong sense of purpose while fostering lasting social connections – two of the most important qualities, according to a growing body of research, for a happy life.

If invited to the wedding, don’t go Dr. Wallace: I’m a young woman who needs your advice. I’ve had strong feelings for a guy for a couple of years, but we could be considered just casual friends.

I only see this guy three or four times a year when I visit my father in Boston. My parents are divorced and I’m still living at home with my mom and 2 younger sisters. This guy and I met three years ago and every time I see him my feelings for him grow stronger.

We had great times when we were together.

I visited my father over the Christmas holiday, and again, I saw this guy, but this time he said he had good news to share with me. I was totally stunned when he then told me that he got engaged to a wonderful girl and they were making wedding plans. All I could say was “good for you” and then I never saw him again.

But since I’ve returned home, all I can think about is him.

I’m very confused about my reaction and I honestly think that I could be in love with him. I don’t know what I should do. Sometimes I want to call him and make him aware of my feelings. But other times I’m thinking it’s better to keep quiet. I’ve talked to two of my very best friends and they both told me it would be better for me to just keep quiet. I’m not totally sure they have given me the best advice and I’m thinking about the old saying, “All’s fair in love and war.” What do you think I should do? – Nameless, Philadelphia,

Pennsylvania Nameless: Call your “casual

friend” and, if you haven’t already done so, offer congratulations.

Then in a casual way tell him you are surprised and a bit disappointed that he is now out of circulation because your were starting to have feelings for him. Keep it light and short. The call will have a

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace positive therapeutic effect on you and it will also make your friend aware that you may be interested if his plans don’t work out.

Don’t make contact with him again unless he contacts you. If a marriage does happen and you happen to be invited, don’t go! It will only make you feel miserable.

Dr. Wallace: My four-year-old daughter is enrolled in pre-school.

She really enjoys going there and looks forward to going every day. I checked out the school with other parents and they all gave me glowing reports.

Last week my daughter said that the children were playing a game called “Ring-AroundA-Rosy” and that she liked it. I thought this game was banned in schools, even pre-schools, because it was started from something very evil. Is this true? If it is, I’ll contact the school and have it banned. – Melanie, Toledo, Ohio Melanie: Ring-Around-A-Rosy was started in Great Britain after a terrible bubonic plague swept through England in the mid 1600’s.

The “rosy” referred to is the rosy rash of those who had the disease; the “pocket full of posies” referred to herbs and spices carried to sweeten the air; and “we all fall down” meant falling down dead.

It’s an unusual beginning for a child’s game, but the game does not represent anything evil and should not be banned, but enjoyed by the children who play it.

It won’t be long before someone challenges Humpty Dumpty who, as you know, fell and couldn’t be put together again.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 15 and a very trustworthy young lady. I love

my mom very much even though she is super strict and is always checking up on me. Every Wednesday after school I go to my best friend’s house to work together on a research paper for social studies.

I always get to her house at 3:15 and leave at 4:45.

Every Wednesday morning, Mom calls my girlfriend’s mom to check to see if it’s O.K. for me to go over there. The answer is always the same, “Yes, it’s no bother and we enjoy having Sara as a guest.” Not only that but she calls every Wednesday afternoon around 4 p.m. to make sure if I’m still there. The answer is always the same, “Yes, she’s still here and the girls are working on their assignment.”

It really bothers me that my mom doesn’t trust me and it’s also embarrassing that she keeps checking on me. Sometimes I wonder if she calls the school to see if I’m in class. What can I do to get Mom to stop acting like she’s working for the FBI? – Bothered,

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Bothered: Your mom is con-

cerned about your safety and welfare when you are out of her sight.

It’s not so much that she doesn’t trust you; it’s more that she feels relieved when she knows you are safe and sound. You needn’t be embarrassed by Mom’s calls. I’m sure your friend’s mom understands how your mom feels.

Instead of waiting for that afternoon check-up call, why not call your mother when you arrive at your friend’s house. And if it makes her feel better, let her say a few words to your friend’s mom. Believe me, it’s much better to have a parent like your mom than to have one who doesn’t care where you go or who you’re with.

Jilted husband also feels abandoned by daugthers Dear Abby:

DEAR ABBY I am a father of two girls.

Jeanne Both of them no Phillips longer see, talk to or contact me.

I’m divorced from their mother. She cheated on me after she went back to work and met a man she decided was her soul mate. That was 17 years ago. I haven’t talked to or seen my ex in all those years, and slowly both daughters distanced themselves from me until there was no relationship at all. On Father’s Day, my birthday or Christmas I never hear a word from either one. I tried numerous times to be a father to them. My youngest was recently married and didn’t invite me to her big wedding. I had been saving money over the years in case one of them needed help with a home or wedding.

I have to say I am hurt. What could I have done to be a father when they didn’t want me in their lives? I talk to people and they keep telling me stories similar to mine. Is this common? –

Rejected Dad Out West Dear Dad: Let me put it this way: It’s not

unheard of. Something called “parental alienation” sometimes happens in bitter divorces, when one parent poisons the children’s minds against the other. If I had to guess the reason for it in your case, it would be that your ex didn’t want the girls to know the reason for the divorce was her infidelity. There is nothing you can do about it now, because a mindset and a pattern have been set. Had you insisted on counseling for you and the girls when you realized the distancing was happening, you might have kept the lines of communication open. Things may improve one day when your daughters have children who are curious about meeting you, but in the meantime, for your own sake, please go on with your life and don’t dwell on your disappointment.

Dear Abby: I’m a 13-year-old girl who is blessed to have both sets of grandparents alive and healthy. Recently, my dad’s mother has become very quiet and reserved at social events. She was never the “I need to talk to everyone” type, but at the last few family gatherings she wouldn’t involve herself in a long conversation with anyone. When my other grandparents tried to talk to her, her answers were curt and it was obvious she would rather not talk.

At first we thought it was because of my baby cousin, who cried nearly every time my grandmother held her. Thankfully, that has stopped. Other family members have noticed her behavior, and we are unsure of what may be causing it. – Silent Treatmet in New York Dear Silent Treatment: Your grandmother may be upset about something, and her refusal to talk could be her way of expressing her displeasure, or she may be having a personal problem she’s not ready to discuss. Because other family members have noticed and are commenting about it, your parents should tell your grandfather that the family is concerned and ask him for an explanation, because he may be in a position to shed some light on it.

With a living will to address medical specifics, and a health care proxy to name the person in charge of making decisions, those questions are addressed and a roadmap for treatment – or for withholding treatment – is clearly laid out.

What can this type of legal document address?

Everything from a person’s wishes regarding resuscitation procedures, ventilation techniques and diagnostic tests, to life-prolonging treatments such as CPR, dialysis, blood transfusion, the administration of food, water or drugs, palliative care and surgery. Some people use their living wills to state their wishes regarding dying at home, donating their organs for transplantation or offering their bodies to science.

Individuals who decide to create a living will often begin by speaking with their families about the scope and specifics of the document they want to create.

It’s also common to consult with your physician, who can help to explain the choices you have and the decisions you are making.

A living will must be in writing and adhere to the legal requirements of the state in which it is being used. A lawyer can help you to create your living will, but it is not a requirement.

Both the American Bar Association and the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization offer links to state-specific forms.

PUZZLE SOLUTION

Thursday, March 9, 2017 • KCChronicle.com / The Herald *

Dear Doctor: Our dad insists that he doesn’t want any heroic or extraordinary measures taken if he gets really sick, and he wants one of us children to relay this message to his medical team. Should he have a living will?

Dear Reader: We’re verging into legal territory with this question, but as medicine continues to advance in its ability to prolong life, this is an important topic for each of us.

A living will refers to a class of legal document that an individual uses to specify his or her wishes for end-of-life medical care. These documents are also referred to as health care advance directives, or simply advance directives.

The idea of a living will comes up most often among the elderly, but in fact, people of all ages can use this document to state what they do and do not want to be done in the instance of a medical emergency. If the time comes that a person is unable to make medical decisions on his own behalf, then the living will speaks for him.

While your dad is correct that you or your siblings can communicate his wishes to his care team, this can place a significant burden on the family. Despite knowing a loved one’s wishes, making decisions with life-or-death consequences is not only a challenge, but can also be emotionally wrenching.

A living will often includes a health care proxy or power of attorney. This allows you to name the person who will communicate your wishes if you should become unable to do so yourself. It’s understandably easy for family members to become overwhelmed in the midst of a medical crisis, and to agree to medical procedures or lifesaving measures that the

REAL ESTATE | ABOVE: When Alan Kanner bought the home, it was a nondescript one-story midcentury modern house with a walkout basement.

Julia Heine / McInturff Architects

• MAGIC

Continued from page 41 Kanner said. He discussed his requirements with McInturff: He needed a “fair amount of public space” – places where his kids could do homework.

In addition, he said, “I want the house to have sort of a playful feel to it.” And he wanted to stay within a reasonable budget.

McInturff showed Kanner two designs – “one that went up and one that went out” – and Kanner chose the first.

“By putting another box on top of a box,” McInturff doubled the size of the original 900-square-foot house plus a basement. “What had been a one-story modern box on a walkout basement is now a two-story modern box on a walkout basement,” the architect said.

The renovation was a dramatic transformation of the structure, with large windows for inhabitants to take in the views while allowing privacy in the Takoma Park neighborhood, where houses are

relatively close together.

“It was less expensive to build a second story than to build an addition,” Kanner said. “One of the things I wanted was this open feeling, not a chopped-up house.”

In addition to maximizing the natural landscape, including a huge oak tree at the back of the house, McInturff used color, inspired by one of artist Richard Diebenkorn’s “Ocean Park” paintings, to create whimsy.

“Takoma Park is known for colors,” McInturff said.

“It seemed like a neighborhood where you could do that.” Originally, there were to be nine colors, at which Kanner balked. “Initially, I panicked,” he said. So they agreed on six colors: two shades of blue, white, yellow, turquoise and red-orange. A rectangular color block on the front of the house hints at splashes of brightness inside.

“It’s one of the things I love most about it,” Kanner said.

“The colors are token,” McInturff said. Yet they add whimsy to the otherwise

neutral tones inside – black, gray, white – and the industrial feel with a raw steel staircase at the center of the house.

“It’s the original stairwell, and it’s in the middle of the house, and everything kind of pivots around it,” McInturff said. Made of unpainted steel with wood stairs and a steel grid as accents, it connects the two “boxes,” the public spaces on the first floor and the private spaces on the second.

Bits of color from the exterior at the front of the house echo throughout the interior, creating interest rather than dominating the neutral interior. “There are a lot of color recalls,” said McInturff, who started the design for the house, then turned it over to project architect Colleen Healey.

“It’s the playful and the industrial and how those two come together in a sophisticated way,” Healey said.

The first level includes the dining area, living area and kitchen, while the second has three bedrooms

LEFT: The house is modernized and expanded by adding a 900-square-foot second story.

– one for each of Kanner’s children and one for Kanner.

The first level, where the bedrooms once were, was reconfigured to create an open plan.

The terrain partly dictated the direction of the project.

Takoma Park’s topography – specifically, a ravine – suggested building up to allow the second floor to capitalize on the greenery outside.

“I’m looking out this window, and I do not see another house,” McInturff said. “This room seems to be about that tree,” he said, pointing to the huge oak. “It was like designing a boat. Everything has to work.”

The original house had a flat roof, and the house was “fairly uniformly distributed,” said Kanner, allowing a second floor to be added.

Kanner turned to his staff to build the house. “We stayed with the existing footprint,” he said. Construction began in November 2011, and by July 2012, Kanner had moved in, even though there was more work to be done.

“I moved in without

a kitchen sink,” he said.

Kanner estimated the cost of the construction for the second-floor addition at about $200 a square foot – or roughly $200,000. Kanner served as contractor for the project.

Double-paned glass with argon gas in between was used throughout the house for energy efficiency. Spray-foam insulation was used, as well.

“Utility bills are very low,” Kanner said.

Turning a midcentury house into a “magic box” was the challenge, and the results are based on the synergy between architects and builder. “Some of it wasn’t worked out until it was under construction,” Kanner said.

But because they had worked together before, they understood where the project was going and the importance of attention to detail.

“It’s being able to work magic with less,” McInturff said.

“You get a lot of magic without having to spend a whole lot of money. Colors almost cost nothing.”

Every Friday morning, Cynthia Sanford gets to work early. She’s not there to sell more mid-century Danish furniture – although that’s what shoppers can find at the Kensington, Maryland, branch of Modern Mobler, where Sanford is store manager. Instead, she enjoys some quiet time with a friend before opening up for the day. They drink coffee and knit among handcrafted teak sideboards, splayed-leg coffee tables and never-let-yougo lounge chairs.

In other words, Sanford explained, “we’re having hygge.”

It’s a term she hadn’t heard until about a year ago. Almost no one had – except for the people of Denmark, who use it incessantly, according to Danish Ambassador Lars Gert Lose. “Hygge is part of our DNA,” he said.

Roughly translated into English, hygge means coziness.

But, Lose adds, “it’s as hard to define as it is to pronounce.” (“HOO-gah” gets you close enough.) To him, hygge is a combination of three factors: the space you’re in, the people you’re with and the intention “to create a sanctuary.” Nail the details, and it adds up to an all-encompassing sense of comfort and well-being. In Denmark, which boasts eight months of weather forecasts that might make you want to stay in bed, hygge has served as the ultimate coping strategy.

Now the secret’s out.

Hygge has been anointed the latest lifestyle trend, inspiring luxury tea blends (hooglytea. com), designer wallpapers (hygge andwest.com) and a Philly brewpub (barhygge.com). It’s also the subject of an entire library of new books, which is fitting, given how hyggelig it is to curl up and read, preferably by the glow of a fireplace while wearing woolen socks and sipping something steaming.

Blame the buzz on current events, says food writer Signe Johansen, author of “How to Hygge,” which explains how she maintains her Nordic traditions while living in London. “People are worried and anxious about the future – 2016 was a discombobulating year

for many reasons,” she said.

That’s certainly true in Washington, where the recent spike in political divisiveness is palpable. Some hygge-style socializing could help, Lose said.

“It’s almost like meditation, but it’s a collective exercise rather than an individual one,” he explained. Distractions such as phones are shut off. Topics that could devolve into shouting matches are shelved. “The point would be to say: ‘This is all about having a good time now. It’s time to talk about what we enjoy about life.’ “ Hygge can even play a role in policy discussions, Lose added, noting that he participated in a group bike ride along Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington this month as part of an event on “Rethinking Urban Transportation.” The vibe was informal, partly because of the gear involved. “When you put on a biking helmet, you have to laugh at yourself,” Lose said.

A conducive environment is key to experiencing hygge, said Lose. In Washington, there’s the Danish Embassy, which is hygge by design.

The building was the work of Danish architect Vilhelm Lauritzen, who inserted hygge-friendly touches, such as the chandeliers that hang throughout the residence.

Their playful circles of bulbs, each inside a glass, can be dimmed to adjust the mood.

As Happiness Research Institute chief executive Meik Wiking points out in “The Little Book of Hygge,” proper lighting is essential. That means there should be several light sources, scattering pools of warm light throughout a space. When in doubt about how to achieve that, he says, just add candles.

Kira Fortune, a Dane who now lives in Chevy Chase, Md., with her family, frequently finds herself fielding questions about candles. There are 14 in her living space at the moment, not counting the ones inside lanterns in her yard.

She lights all of them.

To her, that’s hygge, which demands that “you go out of your way to be uber-cozy,” she

The Danish Embassy residence’s living room features warm but playful lighting.

Continued from page 47 said. When she has the time, Fortune lights not only the candles but also her two Morso wood-burning stoves. She prepares hot chocolate and glogg, or mulled wine, and bakes rye bread from scratch. Then she savors sitting around with no real plans – just board games, books and blankets.

Setting up such a hyggelig scene requires energy and attention, but it’s a process she enjoys because she knows how wonderful the result will feel.

“Living in Washington, we work long hours. This is one way to switch off, go down in

gears,” Fortune said.

That seems like a good thing to know how to do, even if you can’t pronounce it.

Here are some ways to hygge at home: • Keep it simple: Nordic interiors are minimalist. So to prep for going hygge, you might want to try the KonMari Method, Modern Mobler’s Sanford said. The goal is to tame clutter by keeping only things that “spark joy.”

To Sanford, a sleek sideboard fits that bill – you can use it to display items and tuck away a few of your favorite things for easy access. “I always want my knitting and yarn near me,” she said.

• Go green: Bring nature

home with a houseplant.

“How to Hygge” author Johansen recommends aloe vera – they’re a funky shape, they’re low-maintenance, and they’re useful. “It’s the best thing for applying on a burn,” she said.

If you’re picking up a bouquet from the florist, go monochromatic. “Too many colors can feel hectic,” she explained.

• Add a personal touch: “The Little Book of Hygge” author Wiking promotes a hands-on approach to furniture shopping. “Consider not only how things look, but how they feel,” said Wiking, who prefers the touch of wood over steel and glass. Danish-style decorating doesn’t have to be pricey, he added, noting that

his favorite pieces are a pair of stools he made with his uncle. Their value comes from his memories. You can attach stories to your belongings even if they’re purchased. Just consider the source, Wiking said: “You’re in a flea market in Paris. It’s already different from Bed Bath & Beyond.”

• Use candles – with caution: A few flickering candles on a table is fine, but for a cozier effect, use surfaces at varying heights, Johansen said. Experiment with window ledges and bookshelves. Always use candleholders, and be careful: Johansen’s dress caught on fire at a party when she accidentally brushed up against a tea light on a low shelf.

• Find your sources: Fortune’s strategy for creating “a Copenhagen house in Washington” involves knowing where to shop. She hits up Ikea every two weeks to restock her candle supply. (Only plain white ones are acceptable – “We’re very much into less is more,” Fortune said.)

The Swedish store also sells rye bread mix and holiday foodstuffs.For Kahler-brand striped vases and other ceramic accessories, she orders from royal design.com. And when she’s desperate for other goodies from home, she turns to design emporium Illums Bolighus (illums bolighus. com), which ships to the United States.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Handyman Service Home Improvements

630-879-5906

(Craig) Serving the Fox Valley for over 25 years (Batavia)

Oscar Wilde said, “I am so clever that sometimes I don’t understand a single word of what I am saying.”

Bridge players who do not understand their partner’s bids are in trouble. This week, we are looking at the splinter bid, which shows a good fit for partner’s suit, at least game-going values and a singleton (or void) in the suit just named.

Once, my partner opened one club. I had 15 high-card points with six clubs to the ace-king-queen-jack.

I also had a singleton spade, so I responded three spades. It went all pass! Then partner put a singleton spade down in the dummy! I tried hard to make it, but I unluckily ran out of trumps. Six clubs was cold.

In today’s deal, North’s four diamonds was a splinter bid. Then South used 14-30 Roman Key Card Blackwood, understandably believing that his partner had something in clubs to justify his game-force. When North showed one key card (an ace or the spade king), South jumped to six spades.

West, who disliked leading from a jack, chose the club seven. After winning with dummy’s king, how did declarer play?

South saw that the danger was a 3-0 trump split. So, he called for the spade four and underplayed East’s three with his two! When dummy’s four held the trick, declarer drew one more round of trumps and discarded his club loser on dummy’s heart queen.

Note that if West could have taken the second trick, trumps would have been 2-1 and the contract safe -- sort of. Tune in again tomorrow.
