Kiwanis Club hosting Rose Day fundraiser I had the pleasure March 7 of attending a meeting of the Kiwanis Club of St. Charles at Baker Memorial United Methodist Church.

It was a great meeting to attend not only because I had a fantastic lunch, but also because it was the club’s kickoff to its annual Rose Day fundraiser.

During the meeting, members of the club were given informational packets about Rose Day so that they could go out into the community and sell bouquets of roses.

A dozen roses can be ordered for a $20 donation. Vases can be ordered for $3 each.

Customers can pick up their roses from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 25 at the Baker Community Center, 101 S. Second St., St. Charles.

As the Rose Day order form states, a dozen roses can be a wonderful way to show appreciation for someone on Administrative Professionals’ Day (April 26). Or, give roses to a sweetheart, parent or anyone else, just to make them feel special.

“We’re going to sell a lot of roses,” Rose Day Committee member Sally Murphy said during the club meeting.

“Rose pickup day – that day is very exciting. The earlier [people] come, the

SUGAR GROVE – Roaring laughter, excellent advice and the opportunity to flaunt what they’ve been creating during Show and Tell are all part of the experience when Sugar Grove’s Common Threads Quilt Guild meets on the second Wednesday of the month at the Sugar Grove Community Building.

Members of the group often spend their Sundays at the Sugar Grove Fire Department, which has provided them with space to sew together and enjoy fellowship.

“There are a lot of bigger groups around that will have national authors speak and stuff, but we’re happy with our intimate group,” Quilt Guild President Janet Lamberton said. “We’re just a group of ladies that likes to get together with each other and share our passion for fabrics and sewing, and to encourage one another.”

The Quilt Guild, which was founded in 2009, has about 40 members and wouldn’t be what it is today without Jan Carroll, the original president.

Carroll passed away in January.

“She touched so many of our lives and is going to be missed so much,” Lamberton said. “Without her efforts, the guild wouldn’t be what it is today.”

Local support also has helped the Quilt Guild thrive.

“Most of us live here in Sugar Grove, but we have some nice outsiders that have joined us,” Sugar Grove resident Joan Perrin said. “The outsiders heard so many good things about us that they

wanted to be a part of it, which is nice to know.”

Unlike other quilting guilds that have membership in the hundreds, the Common Threads Quilt Guild is much smaller, and that’s one of the reasons why it’s become so popular, members said.

“I got involved in quilting in 2009 and it’s a great group of ladies here, and what I really like is we have a wide age group,” Sugar Grove resident Rebecca Cromley said. “We have great stories and people, and being local, it’s convenient. There are some other

guilds that are nice, but they have hundreds of people, so we like our group a lot here.”

Batavia resident Deanne Simpson heard about the group from a friend about 18 months ago. She also said she appreciates its intimacy.

“I like how they pull a lot from within the group to teach various things,” she said. “And it’s a very friendly group. You wouldn’t believe the number of ideas that are shared. There’s a lot of imagination. I’ve gotten a lot of good ideas by coming here.”

Bonnie Lundberg had heard some

mumblings in her hometown of Sycamore about how much fun the group was having, and then heard it reiterated during a retreat. She inquired about the group a year ago and has been a fixture at the gatherings ever since.

“I went to a retreat in Rochelle and someone was talking about how nice of a guild this is, so one of my other friends came down to see it and we’ve kept coming back ever since,” she said.

Newcomers are welcome to stop in during one of the Wednesday sessions.

‘Laser Comedy Show’ to be held at Sugar Grove Public Library

By STEFANIE FRAZIER editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – People of all ages are urged to check out a laser comedy show at 11 a.m. March 25 at the Sugar Grove Public Library.

The “Chris Fair: Laser Comedy Show” will be staged in Meeting Room C. The library is at 125 S. Municipal Drive.

A Chicago resident, Chris Fair created the laser comedy show and improvises throughout the event.

Calling himself a comedian and performing artist, Fair said he has performed in about 30 laser comedy festivals across the U.S. the past few years.

“I’ve already established this is kind of my brand,” Fair said.

In the laser comedy show, Fair uses laser reactive technology to create characters. They come alive when

drawn with laser pens.

This results in continuous action, with voiceovers applied on top of the art.

“It’s definitely going to be one of a kind,” said Aimee Marx, youth Chris Fair services manager at the library. “What he does is very different. It’s not like your typical library puppet show or library magician.”

Fair called his show “alternative storytelling” and “alternative comedy.”

“It’s one of the few children’s shows where they get to influence the outcome of the story,” Fair said. “I feed off of the audience.”

Fair recalled an instance in which he knew there would be a unicorn character. The children knew it, too, because they had vocalized where the unicorn was.

Feedback from audiences prompts

him to take “notes” when creating a story.

“I can’t just have all of my cards out on the table at once,” Fair said.

“When the unicorn finally emerged, I definitely got an ovation.”

Attendees can expect a brainstorming session at the beginning of the show. The audience can give Fair feedback, such as what they wore for their last Halloween costume.

Fair will stand behind a screen, drawing green art with laser pens while telling the story.

All Fair knows is his basic formula includes a protagonist, antagonist, struggle and climax.

“The good guys fight the bad guys,” Fair said. “It’s all made up on the spot.”

As for voices, Fair said he usually has a male, female and child. He has voiced a “nerdy voice,” a distinct-sounding prince, and an Austra-

lian kangaroo.

Fair also can whip up a bunch of supporting characters. He has made sound effects, such as moving forward and backward through a pipe.

Fair includes close-ups and bird’seye views of the story.

“It’s like a live comic book,” Fair said.

Toward the end of a show, some children will have a chance to draw a “bad guy” character. Fair will create superheroes to save the day, based on the audience’s suggestion.

Library Director Shannon Halikias spoke positively of the upcoming show.

“It’s going to be a very unique experience,” Halikias said. “It’s a blend of storytelling and interaction with the audience that participants may not have seen before.”

Those interested in attending the show must register at www.sugargrove.lib.il.us.

Tom Laue - tlaue@shawmedia.com

Get to know Monica Meyers Monica Meyers was at an Elburn Chamber of Commerce meeting March 2 at the Community Congregational Church to present information on an April 4 referendum to raise funds for the Forest Preserve District of Kane County. She answered questions for the Kane County Chronicle’s Tom Laue.

Laue: Where did you grow up?

Meyers: Maryland Laue: Family?

Meyers: Husband and two teenage sons Laue: When did you come to Illinois?

Meyers: 1992 Laue: What is your job?

Meyers: Executive director for the Forest Preserve District of Kane County since 2004 Laue: What do you like about your work?

Meyers: I feel privileged to be involved in ... work that directly benefits the community’s quality of life, as well as the long-term environmental health for future generations.

Laue: Hobbies?

Meyers: Gardening, movies, traveling and spending time with my husband and teenage sons.

My journey from a newly enrolled student at Waubonsee Community College to president of the Waubonsee Community College Student Senate has been defined by civic engagement.

Involvement in one’s community is not only an important way to give back, but it is also an opportunity that widens your network, sharpens your skills and opens your mind.

During my first year at Waubonsee, I was introduced to several clubs and activities, including the Waubonsee Student Senate. I decided to run for Student Senate to gain leadership experience because I believe that if you want to positively change the world, you should start within your own community. As a student representative, I went from a senator, to vice president, to my current position as senate president.

This experience has helped me grow in many ways. With this new involvement and new responsibility, I not only developed as a person, but my network and the community I built around myself grew as well.

As a Waubonsee Community College student, I have learned that “student” is a word that you can mold into whatever experience you seek to gain.

WAUBONSEE VOICES Yosemite Pinedo

News to your phone Sign up for breaking news text and email alerts at KCChronicle.com/subscribe.

But I have also learned that keeping an open mind is the most important part of the journey of a student because that allows you to try new things, meet new people and discover interests and abilities in yourself that you never imagined before.

Before joining Student Senate, I didn’t know how to format an email; I didn’t know how to properly use a copy machine; and I had never heard of Robert’s Rules of Order as a way to conduct a meeting. But my lessons have been about more than learning new tools and skills. I also learned how to lead a group of people in a professional and efficient manner, and I learned how to shape myself as a leader.

A huge part of leadership involves listening to your peers. The only way to truly understand your peers and what they want is to listen and be empathetic. Practicing these skills of listening and empathy in Student Senate has helped me to keep an open mind. I also learned to delegate tasks, work efficiently within the team and to make difficult choices and have the confidence to carry them through.

But the rewards of this experience have been many: Not only have I learned all of these skills, but I have also met many people who continue to mentor me, support me and open doors for me. Civic engagement is the thread that binds a community together, and it takes many individuals to create a strong bond. While I have learned much as a student in the classroom, I have also learned so much by engaging with the community that is built around those classrooms.

Yosemite Pinedo is Student Senate president at Waubonsee Community College. The “Waubonsee Voices” column runs the third Wednesday of each month. Comments and questions can be sent to editorial@kcchronicle.com.

District 302 to induct 5 into Hall of Fame KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK – Three Kaneland High School graduates, a school coach and a man with ties to Kaneville are 2017 inductees into the Kaneland School District 302 Hall of Fame.

They’re recognized for service, commitment or personal achievement.

Ceremonies honoring four of the people will occur throughout May. The fifth ceremony will be in late May or early June. The Hall of Fame began in 1998.

Three people honored in the service category are: • Leon Gramley, honored posthumously, “gave unselfishly of his time and talent,” a news release stated. He was a youth mentor and instrumental in getting a state grant to buy a baseball field for Kaneville, the release stated. Gramley was a Kaneville Township supervisor and helped incorporate the village of Kaneville, the release said.

He died in 2010. Gramley will be inducted during the 7 p.m. annual Senior Honors event. A 6:15 p.m. dessert reception in the high school auditorium will precede the formal program.

Hall of Fame inductees The five inductees into Kaneland School District 302’s Hall of Fame n Leon Gramley n Ingrid Petersen Inboden n Allyson Laackman n Doug Ecker n Korre Foster • Ingrid Petersen Inboden, a Kaneland graduate, is a DeKalb County registered nurse who, with her husband, owns Inboden’s Meats Ltd. The release said the store offers “dietetic selections, including gluten-free items, to the area before it was trendy.”

• Allyson Laackman, also a Kaneland High School graduate, was chief of staff to former first lady Michelle Obama from January 2012 through November 2012. Laackman was the chief financial officer and vice president of finance and administration at Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry between October 2013 and April 2015, the release stated.

Both Inboden and Laackman will

be inducted into the Hall of Fame on May 1. The inductions are part of the school’s Academic Achievements Awards/Hall of Fame event at 7 p.m.

A 6:15 p.m. dessert reception will take place in Cafe 302 at the high school.

• Doug Ecker is recognized for commitment. He taught and coached girls’ cross country and track and field beginning in 1987. He stopped teaching science in 2011, but continues as head coach for the girls’ teams. The release stated Ecker helped spearhead Kaneland High School’s Wall of Fame begun in 2007 to honor student achievements.

Ecker’s ceremony will take place in late May or early June.

• Korre Foster will be honored for personal achievement. A Kaneland High alumnus, Foster co-conducted the Le Palais Royal and L’Academie de Musique choirs in Paris. He is now director of choral activities at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tenn., the release said. The annual Music Awards at which Foster is to be inducted starts at 6 p.m. May 22, preceded by a 5:30 p.m. dessert reception in the school’s Cafe 302.

All events are free to the public, the release stated.

Time to celebrate There are moments in your life you will remember forever.

I can remember full specific days from my childhood and adolescence, but now as an adult, there are times I can’t remember what I ate for breakfast.

The Geneva High School girls varsity basketball team will now have a lifetime to remember how it felt these last couple of weeks, as they became state champions for the first time in school history. I can only hope that the girls will have so many more amazing moments in their lives.

Congratulations, ladies!

EYES THAT HAVE IT If you are a woman who has just started wearing prescription eyeglasses for the first time, bear in mind that lenses that correct for nearsightedness tend to make eyes seem smaller. With this in mind, you may want to make some adjustments to your makeup regimen. To better help your eyes stand out from behind the frames, try filling in your brows with a pencil or powder that matches your hair color.

Next, choose an eye shadow that will contrast with the color of your frames. Conversely, since farsighted lenses magnify the eyes, you may want to apply eyeliner with a light hand, staying close to the lash line and avoiding clumps that would be even more noticeable.

At EYEDENTITY VISION CARE,LLC,we offer a large selection of high end designer frames,eye glasses and sunglasses.We also offer a wide variety of contact lenses that are guaranteed to suit your individual needs. Come in today and let us help you select the style, shape, and color of eye glasses or sun glasses that are right for you. Please call 630-232-4211 for more information. We are located at 309 W. Hamilton St. where we offer Complete vision care for all ages.

P.S. Women whose vision is very blurry without their glasses should inquire about “make-up glasses,” which allow wearers to fold each of the lenses away individually. As a result, one eye can see very well while make-up is applied to the other one.

ST. CHARLES – Randall Coffland told a 911 dispatcher on March 10 that he shot his daughters to death, that he shot his wife, and he was going to shoot himself.

“I just shot and killed my children,” Randall Coffland is heard saying on a 911 recording. “And I shot my wife.

And I’m going to shoot myself … I’m going to kill myself now, too.”

At a news conference March 12, St. Charles Deputy Chief David Kintz released the 911 tapes, in addition to chilling details about the deaths of 16-year-old twins Brittany S. Coffland and Tiffany S. Coffland at the hands of their father.

Even as Randall Coffland was telling the 911 dispatcher what he had done, his wife, Anjum Coffland, 46, can be heard screaming to another emergency dispatcher that her husband had killed her girls and shot her in the legs.

“Oh my God, my husband shot my kids!” Anjum Coffland said to the 911 operator. “My daughters are dead! …

I’m going into shock. I’ve lost a lot of blood. … He’s finally lost it.”

Randall Coffland, 48, and his daughters were all found with single gunshot wounds to their heads in a condominium at 450 S. First St., St. Charles, where he lived with the girls, Kintz said.

An autopsy was performed on all three individuals, and the preliminary cause of death for each twin was confirmed to be a single gunshot wound to the head, according to the Kane County Coroner’s Office, while the preliminary cause of death for the father was determined to be a single self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Toxicology samples were collected and sent to a forensic lab.

Anjum Coffland was taken to Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition as of March 12, Kintz said.

The girls would have had their 17th birthdays on March 14, Kintz said.

Randall Coffland and the twins were living at the South First Street address, while Anjum Coffland was living separately from her husband in another condominium on South Fifth Avenue in St. Charles. Kintz said he did not know how long they had been living apart.

Two 9 mm handguns were recovered in the condo, but Kintz said police could not immediately confirm that they were owned by Randall Coffland, nor which weapon – or both – were used in the shootings.

One gun was in the vicinity of Randall Coffland; the other was found in

valid FOID card,” Kintz said, referring to the firearm owners identification card that gun owners are required to have.

“We have no indication of a struggle, other than the violence of the crime with gunshots,” Kintz said. “As far as I know, there was nothing strewn about to show there was a fight.”

One daughter was found on a couch, the other in a bedroom, he said.

Police did speak to the mother at the hospital, but Kintz said he did not initially know the content of those conversations.

Kintz could also not say why Anjum Coffland was at her husband’s residence that day.

“We have to figure out what brought her back to the apartment,” Kintz said.

Police do not know what, if anything, had triggered the chain of events, and investigators would be talking to friends and others who knew the family, Kintz said.

Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com “We don’t have anything at this Friends of Brittany and Tiffany Coffland console one another at a memorial outside the point,” Kintz said. “That is part of the follow-up – we have to talk to people condominium complex, where they were found shot to death March 10 in St. Charles. and determine what led to this. … a closet, Kintz said.

Their concerned constituents have had a hard time reaching either Representative by phone, e-mail, fax, or in-person visit for several weeks. In a worrisome development, the entire February recess passed with little sign of the elected congressional representatives in their districts.

Messages like these, along with the check-ins from many local readers reporting on everything from the usual to the unusual nature that surrounds us, are what really make my day. response in an e-conversation I’ve been having with a fellow named Kenneth, who is a wildlife biologist with the Yurok Tribe in Klamath, Calif. He and I share an interest in the small mammals – mostly shrews, but also moles, voles and mice – that wind up dead on the trails in our parks and preserves.

Basically, we wonder what role, if any, trail systems play in the mortality of these animals.

In fact, in a weird coincidence, all of these small creatures are prey for one of our jack-in-the-box mammals, the weasel. Pop! Speaking of coincidence, as I’m writing this, the email chime has signaled another incoming message – a note from a remarkable man whose photography is equally amazing.

David Farber was sending his latest wildlife photos, wonderful shots of tufted titmice at Silver Springs State Park in Yorkville.

I was at Barnes & Noble the other day, killing some time between appointments, when I came across a jack-in-the-box. I’ll admit, I was a little taken aback that such toys are still allowed; I had sorta figured it had gone the way of wooden playpens and diaper pins. But there it was, in all its hand-cranked glory.

Of course, I had to give it a try. It had the same tinny sound I remembered, and a familiar-looking clown that popped up just as the song was about to end. Which made me think of my email inbox.

Now, I don’t know about you, but I tend to get a fair amount of email correspondence. Quite a bit of it has to do with park district business, with another hunk stemming from groups for which I volunteer. But every once in a while, just like that monkey-chasing weasel, I’ll get a fun surprise popping up on the screen in front of me.

Take the other day, for instance. I was clicking through messages, responding, forwarding, etc., when pop! I found myself staring at a beautiful Argiope spider. And not just any Argiope, mind you – this was A. versicolor. Although it resembles our local Argiopes, A. aurantia, aka garden spiders or banana spiders, and A. trifasciata, the banded garden spider, this one had crafted a web with four zig-zag structures, or “zippers.” That would be quadruple the number of zippers of our local species.

It didn’t take long to learn why this spider was so different. The photo was taken on a veranda in Tha Pla, Uttaradit, Thailand. The writer, a gentleman named Mac, had come across a “Good Natured” piece on Illinois Argiopes and wanted to share his enthusiasm for these beautiful creatures.

Pretty neat, huh?

More scrolling, more responding, more forwarding, then pop! Another nifty email surprise. Transplanted Illinoisan Susan Bell, who moved from St. Charles to Tucson a while back, sent a series of photos documenting the effects of that area’s warm and wet winter. Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop … pictures of cacti, javelinas, tarantulas and even a scorpion chased across my computer screen. Cool.

A few more clicks down the line and I was reading the latest

was identify teaching assignments and teaching needs and offered a different title of visiting professor … and offered that contract to 17 of them.”

The university’s students were promised $6 million per year and – for many years – the state fulfilled that 100 percent, McFarland said.

“Given the current stalemate, we are unhopeful that anything will happen,” McFarland said. “We are afraid the program will go away in its entirety.”

The money is generally disbursed through the university for students who are promised a certain amount of money from these grants, he said.

McFarland said this is the first time in 15 years the university was forced to take action like this.

State Rep. Steve Andersson, R-Geneva, said the actions by Aurora University are “just another excellent example of why we need to get past this impasse and get a budget.”

“I respect what Aurora University is doing and making hard choices,” Andersson said. “Unfortunately, the state is not making the hard choice of coming together and developing a real compromise so we can start funding higher education and other core services we have an obligation to provide.

This is another example of the tragedy of not having a budget.”

Aurora University is a private, four-year school with about 5,000 students across all its campuses, and 200 faculty, McFarland said. The school’s tuition is $11,290 per semester for 12 to 17 hours of credit or $650 per semester hour for students taking one to 11 semester hours, according to its website, www.aurora.edu.

AURORA – Aurora University is planning to cut 30 full-time faculty lecturers and 15 administrative staff members because of a lack of state funding resulting from the continuing budget impasse, a spokesman said.

The problem is the state stopped funding $6 million in annual Monetary Award Program grants, which help some 1,500 students, university spokesman Steve McFarland said.

As the state is in its second year without a budget, no MAP grant money has come to the university for its students, McFarland said.

The university pledged to make up that gap for each student who qualifies for the MAP grant because they “should not be burdened by a political stalemate,” McFarland said.

“The last couple of years caused us to cut more and more from our operating budget,” McFarland said. “It’s not just faculty; we’ve had a number of administrative staff who have also been let go and positions eliminated.

We’ve had salary freezes, and, finally, we just could not overcome the effects of Springfield anymore.”

School officials told 30 full-time lecturers that they would be cut from the private university’s staff at the end of the spring semester. McFarland said the faculty lecturers are on year-toyear contracts, as opposed to assistants and full professors who have longer contracts.

“We told them in February, so they can plan accordingly through the end of the semester in early May,” McFarland said. “What we then did, though,

Durbin meets with officials, ECC students

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com ELGIN – Since the Mayflower landed, immigrants have been a subject of debate in the United States, and now – under President Donald Trump’s immigration policy – they are in the spotlight again, said U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Illinois.

On March 10 Durbin met with local legislators, public officials and about 60 students at Elgin Community College to talk about immigration issues.

He said that as he has traveled around the country and the state, the level of stress and fear among immigrants has risen. And with recent deportation actions undertaken by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, they fear deportation even more.

Durbin said the way to deal with the situation is to enact comprehensive immigration reform.

“We have begun to see the impact Trump’s reckless executive orders [have had] – immigration raids that are tearing families apart and spreading fear in communities around the country,” Durbin said. “These executive orders are inconsistent with America’s heritage as a nation of immigrants and as a safe haven for those fleeing persecution.”

Comments from students were taken during the event. Elgin resident David Jones, 21, spoke about his Polish busia – pronounced boo-SHAH – who escaped the Holocaust.

“After the war, she came over here to America,” Jones said. “I listened to the countless things she encountered, and I said, ‘Wow, Busia. You went through [bad times].’”

His grandmother told him it was OK. “‘I have one thing to ask of you.

Make what I went through worth it,’” Jones said his grandma told him.

“What makes America great is its cultural diversity,” Jones said. “There are so many people who still believe that immigrants are not a good part of our society or contribute. ... Our coun-

Durbin said immigrants – whether recent or several generations removed – should tell their stories in meetings with elected officials.

“We are all here as immigrants to this country – but for the Native Americans who were waiting for us,” Durbin said. “I believe immigrants bring something special to this country.”

Durbin, whose grandmother came to the United States from Lithuania when she was 2, said his story and the stories of all immigrants need to be told.

He said both Democrats and Republicans agree that undocumented immigrants who are a danger to the community need to be deported or jailed – but the vast majority are contributors.

Durbin has reintroduced bipartisan legislation known as the BRIDGE Act to offer temporary relief from deportation for young immigrants brought here as children. It is similar to the De-

Broadway’s ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ features music with a message

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

THE WRITE PLACE Emma Chrusciel of loneliness and a desire to be accepted, which “Dear Evan Hansen” depicts throughout the show. I think there is a little bit of Evan in each of us, which makes the musical that much more compelling.

I have yet to see the show live; it is being performed in New York City. However, that doesn’t mean the soundtrack and storyline have made any less of an impact on me – tears were streaming down my face the first time I heard some of the songs, and the show has made me more aware of the isolation others may feel and what I can do to help. I hope I get the chance to experience the music and message live someday.

The chorus of the song “Disappear” from the show’s first act goes like this: “No one deserves to be forgotten, no one deserves to fade away. No one should flicker out or have any doubt that it matters that they are here. No one deserves to disappear.” Because of “Dear Evan Hansen,” millions of people have been reminded of this truth, and it just goes to show the power that one musical can have on someone’s emotions and worldview. So go listen to the cast recording (I recommend having tissues handy), read more about the plot, and if you ever get the opportunity to see this show, take it (and take me with you please!). I hope that Evan’s story continues to encourage and inspire audiences for many performances to come.

This musical surpassed everyone’s expectations by breaking box office records and selling incredible amounts of tickets.

Its album reached the Billboard Top 10, something only a few shows in history have done. It has received rave reviews from both professional critics and ordinary theatregoers.

And guess what? It’s not “Hamilton.”

That’s right, there’s another hit musical on Broadway, one called “Dear Evan Hansen” that already has seen “Hamilton”-level impact. While I try to vary my columns so I’m not solely gushing about theater, I feel like this production deserves some adulation, so bear with me.

Perhaps you’ll fall in love with it as well.

“Dear Evan Hansen” revolves around a teen boy named Evan who struggles to balance his extreme social anxiety with the difficulties he faces as the son of a single mother at home.

When a classmate and fellow loner named Connor commits suicide, Evan decides to take action and spread a message of kindness and acceptance around his school. In doing so, he gains the friends, popularity and even family that he always wanted.

Yet Evan also finds himself tangled in a lie that is intensified by social media, and the devastating repercussions cause him to question himself and the world he lives in.

What makes “Dear Evan Hansen” so unique and resonant is its relatability to today’s world. Many of the issues addressed in the show, such as mental health, family problems and social media, are deeply personal for audience members, and the impeccable portrayal of the issues by the cast truly tugs on the heartstrings. With no offense to “Phantom of the Opera” or “The Lion King,” most of us just can’t relate to being haunted by a deformed composer or becoming ruler of an animal kingdom. However, every single one of us has dealt with feelings

LETTERS Let there be heat

To the editor: I would like to publicly thank Kane County Chairman Chris Lauzen for his help in getting the LaFox Metra Station commuters a heater.

As a commuter, I’ve been begging Metra via surveys and direct emails for a heater in the center track shelter for many years. With every ticket hike, Metra touts the upgrades to other stations closer in to the city, but nothing about LaFox, where we already pay some of the highest ticket prices.

I wasn’t asking for the sauna-like heat that stations such as Geneva or Itasca have in their stations. You could bake muffins in there it’s so hot. Neither was I asking for a coffeestand like the one at Winfield. That lady must get up REALLY early.

All I wanted was something to make it a little more tolerable than the Siberian wind

tunnel we normally have.

Each county served by Metra has at least one representative on the board.

It turns out the Kane County Metra board member is hired by the Kane County chairman, Chris Lauzen. I

didn’t know the Metra board member, but I did talk to Mr. Lauzen in the past. I knew he’d be responsive, just like he was as a state senator, and he’s a genuinely nice guy. Unlike many elected officials in Chicagoland, particularly in “Crook” County, all Mr. Lauzen has ever gotten from me is my one vote and a thank you, and he didn’t even ask me for those.

True to form after hearing my request, Mr. Lauzen took action, and in short order we had heat.

So, to my fellow LaFox Metra riders, if you find yourself a little chilled while you wait for your train on the center track at LaFox, reach over and press that orange button and thank Chris Lauzen, the most responsive elected official I’ve ever known in 30-plus years as a voter.

FAMILY AFFAIR Marina Anderson makes drag racing dream a reality with help from dad / 17

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Inside an unassuming shop just off Route 25 in St. Charles, Marina Anderson is hard at work to become the next top drag racer in the country.

She is well on her way.

“I was really nervous at the end of the voting for the first part before I found out I was a finalist.

St. Charles man fourth at national golf tourney

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – A foursome with suburban Chicago ties put together four great rounds of golf to place fourth in the Liberty Mutual Insurance Invitational National Finals at TPC Sawgrass on March 12.

Tom Brandstredt of St. Charles teamed with Rudy Cecchi (Chicago), Tony Del Ricco (Orland Park) and Tony Ross (Lemont). In August 2016, they competed against 240 amateur golfers and won the Liberty Mutual Invitational at Seven Bridges Golf Club in Woodridge.

At TPC Sawgrass, they played two rounds on the Stadium Course and two rounds on the Dye’s Valley Course. It was a grueling test of the quartet’s skills, but team scores of 63, 66, 62, and 65 for a 256 total were enough to secure a fourth-place finish.

The Liberty Mutual Insurance Invitational National Finals was the culmination of a series of more than 75 tournaments around the country in 2016 that raised more than $8 million for charity.

Ambrogi’s Pizza flying toward anniversary

By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com ELBURN – Pizza lovers have a fellow devotee in Denny Pitts, who this spring will celebrate the first anniversary of Ambrogi’s Pizza in Elburn, a restaurant that also features sandwiches, salads, wings, pasta, appetizers, calzones and fried chicken and shrimp entrees.

Pitts brings 30 years of experience to the art of the pizza pie, beginning with his first job at age 14 at Orlando’s Pizza in Geneva.

“By the time I was 17, I was the night manager,” said Pitts, who continued to work in the pizza industry and moved to Elburn about 17 years ago.

The menu at Ambrogi’s offers thin, pan, Chicago style, stuffed and double dough pizza, with gluten-free crust available.

“My personal favorite is Chicago style, and that’s why I put it on the menu,” Pitts said. “It’s deep-dish pizza, and it gets nice chunky tomato on top. Everyone loves it.”

The form of tomato he uses is the difference between his pan pizza and deep-dish pies. The former has his signature pizza sauce under the toppings and cheese, but for his Chicago style, the cheese and other ingredients instead are crowned with chunky tomato sauce on top.

He said he’s been experimenting to perfect dishes for years and likes to try new things and get feedback from people.

“Finally, one day I came up with my pizza sauce recipe, [which is]

really good,” he said. “That’s what I went with. Absolutely nobody knows that recipe but me. And my dough is the same way. I built it [like] all of my recipes.”

The pasta dishes are prepared fresh daily, and everything is made from scratch, he said.

“I use the freshest ingredients and the finest Italian cheese I can find,” Pitts said. “I use the top of the line … of everything. It does make a difference. My Italian beef is famous here in Elburn, especially at lunch.”

Pitts said he has daily specials, such as lunch sandwiches with fries and soft drink. He also offers pizza slices each day.

Among the most popular sandwiches are the Italian beef, the meatball sub and his chicken parmigiana, which is available either as a sandwich or served over pasta. Pitts said his homemade garlic bread is a specialty, and works well as a sandwich option in place of the regular rolls and bread for an added twist.

Also on the menu are a pure-beef, half-pound burger, Vienna hot dogs, and tiramisu as one of the desserts.

“I’ve got a little bit of everything in here,” he said, adding he already has started planning specials for his oneyear anniversary celebration in May. The fast-casual restaurant seats 20 and occupies the corner of a building with large windows. The casual space

The cheesy beef sandwich with melted mozzarella paired with piping hot french fries is a favorite at Ambrogi’s Pizza near Routes 47 and 38 in Elburn. is family friendly and offers a children’s menu for ages 11 and younger.

The father of two young children, Pitts knows what kids like to eat and gives them a variety of items including an 8-inch pizza.

How has he enjoyed his entrepreneurship this past year?

“It’s wonderful,” he said. “I’ve worked for different places, and now I can do it myself. I always wanted my own place and in the town where I live. I get to [serve] the community – being involved in fundraisers and [such]. I do as much as I can for the community.”

He said he’s working seven days a week to make sure everything is

done right, and compares running the business to raising a child.

“You’ve got to take care of it until you know it’s grown up enough to take care of itself,” he said. “I treat it like my children.”

The restaurant offers catering and delivery to Maple Park, Campton Hills, La Fox, Kaneville, Lily Lake, Wasco, Mill Creek, Virgil, Elburn, St. Charles and Geneva. It is just south of Route 38 off Route 47 at 107 Valley Drive and is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and noon to 9 p.m. Sunday.

On sticking with a plant-based lifestyle

“I used to eat a lot of packaged, low-calorie diet foods. I would buy the low-calorie frozen dinners all the time and just a lot of processed foods and, once I started eating all these plants and vegetables, I just found my mental energy was much more clear, I could focus on my work, I felt happier, I felt less anxious. For me, it was really discovering that I felt so crummy for a long time and I realized I could eat much more of this food and maintain my weight and have more energy.”

On how to transition to healthy eating

“It doesn’t have to be a black or white thing. You can try one recipe a week, maybe starting off with an easy recipe with something that only takes 15 minutes like my creamy avocado pasta recipe that’s really popular and it’s not as intimidating.

I think it’s just really getting in the kitchen and trying some food out and often people are really surprised by

how much they like it and that motivates them to keep going.

“Often you can win people over with dessert more than anything.

That’s a really good way to try to convince people without overwhelming people with an all-vegetable dish.”

On eating with kids

“Dinner’s been hard lately actually because my daughter is going through that picky toddler phase right now. We’ve been eating a lot of pasta lately, which is always good, but I’m starting to get really sick of it. She really likes a mix of marinara sauce with hummus all mixed together so the hummus makes it creamy and then I’ll use hemp hearts to boost the protein and she goes crazy for it.

“We had a whole group of kids testing the recipes so the kid-friendly recipes are indicated, too. The mac and peas and the veggie burgers were a big hit with adults and kids, and there’s a chili cheese nacho recipe that the kids really liked.”

On the cookie chapter

“I basically ate my weight in cookies for weeks and weeks, which was fun. The ultimate flourless brownie recipe, I must have tested them 30 or 35 times. ... I definitely have some

type of sweet every single day. I feel like when they’re homemade they’re just so much better for you. I find that I’m satisfied with a smaller amount.”

Creamy Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup Start to finish: 50 minutes Servings: 4

1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil 2 cups diced sweet onion 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 2 tablespoons red curry paste 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, plus more if needed 1/4 cup raw almond butter 3 cups diced peeled carrots (1/2-inch dice) 3 cups diced peeled sweet potatoes (1/2inch dice) 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) Freshly ground black pepper Minced fresh cilantro, roasted tamari almonds, fresh lime juice, to serve In a large pot, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and ginger and sauté for 5 to 6 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Stir in the curry paste. In a

small bowl, whisk together some of the broth with the almond butter until smooth. Add the mixture to the pot, along with the remaining broth, carrots, sweet potatoes, salt and cayenne (if using). Stir until combined. Bring the soup to a low boil over medium-high heat and then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes and carrots are fork-tender.

Ladle the soup carefully into a blender.

You likely will have to do this in a couple of batches, depending on the size of your blender. With the lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape, blend on low and slowly increase the speed until the soup is completely smooth.

(Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender and blend the soup directly in the pot.)

Return the soup to the pot and season with salt and black pepper.

This soup will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week, and freezes well for 1 to 2 months.

Recipe adapted from Angela Liddon’s “Oh She Glows Every Day,” Avery 2016.

Thursday, March 16, 2017 • KCChronicle.com / The Herald *

In Angela Liddon’s previous life, there were chia seed doughnuts drizzled with coconut lemon whipped cream and decadent parfaits with homemade jams and hearty granolas for breakfast. At least once a week, the plant-based blogger and cookbook author dreamed up another breakfast.

But these days, breakfast is a bit more utilitarian and typically something that can be eaten on the run while Liddon, who is nine months pregnant, is chasing her 2-year-old daughter.

Her second cookbook “Oh She Glows Every Day,” released earlier this month, captures that same spirit and offers easy ways to pack in nutrient-rich, meat- and dairyfree meals that are quick to prepare and, in many cases, can be made ahead of time. The cookbook features more than 100 recipes like fusilli lentil-mushroom Bolognese, roasted brussels sprouts with coconut bacon and curried chickpea salad.

And there are breakfast recipes as well, including black bean rancheros, a breakfast “ice cream” (with avocado in it) and PB&J thumbprint breakfast cookies that can be whipped up in 10 minutes.

We recently talked with Liddon about her plant-based diet, her family and eating dessert.

A grey heron standing at the water’s edge dark beak extended, sharp and long, fishing for what he can find.

What will he find and how will he know? edges of daylight and dawn will bring him what he needs to survive.

Patiently, he stands up, unafraid and proud, beak extended to the dark, flowing water, the dank, dark water carrying

dirt, leaves, and fish as it rushes by the banks.

How can he know? his will finds him here, standing at the edge of time and place, in the morning on the Fox River, fishing for eternity and what he can find, for what he needs to survive.

Just for a moment he stands, beak pointing straight up, into the slanting sunlight, caught, extended, stopped in time.

‘Boys can, too’

Photographer combats gender stereotypes, celebrates boys with nontraditional interests

By GLYNIS RATCLIFFE The Washington Post

Thursday, March 16, 2017 • KCChronicle.com / The Herald

It started when my son was only a few months old. I had taken him downtown with me, for my weekly therapy session with the social worker I was seeing for postpartum depression counseling. There was a chill in the air, and I worried his little cotton pants would ride up and expose his legs while I wore him, so I decided to put on his sister’s old baby leg warmers. They were mostly white, but had small pink and purple hearts scattered across them, Who would care, though? He was a baby, after all. I stopped by a friend’s house before my appointment, and she immediately commented on it, laughingly telling me she would buy him boys’ leg warmers herself, if I wasn’t going to ante up. I couldn’t believe it.

Gender bias is something we are used to talking about. I have fought every gift my two girls have received that has been pink, when it could’ve been bought in neutral colors. I have watched proudly as my daughter answered the question “Are you a princess?” with “No, I’m a superhero.” It hadn’t occurred to me there were boys out there facing a similar stigma, until I heard about Canadian photographer Kirsten McGoey’s project, #aboycantoo.

“This project began almost like a love story to my middle son, to show my love for him,” McGoey said.

She and her husband could see the second of their three sons gravitated toward colors, clothing and activities that most boys shunned, even when he was only 2 years old. He preferred rainbows, sparkles, dancing and reading voraciously, while other boys were playing sports and watching TV. “Never once did we question the validity of those choices, but I realized very quickly that others wouldn’t feel the same way,” McGoey said.

Facing a slow winter season, McGoey wanted a project she could focus on, so she could continue to hone her craft and get used to the new lighting in her studio. Feeling inspired by American photographer Kate T. Parker’s project, “Strong is the New Pretty,” which celebrates girls as active and rambunctious and anything but what is stereotypically considered feminine, McGoey recognized quickly what she had started with her son could involve other boys as well. She decided to

Photographer Kirsten McGoey combats gender stereotypes with the idea that “boys can, too.” feature boys who were making choices that didn’t fall into the gender stereotypes they typically face.

McGoey’s 9-year-old son has been fairly lucky so far, in that he hasn’t experienced much in the way of bullying for the clothes he wears or the activities in which he takes part. That’s not to say friends and family didn’t express their concerns to his parents, especially when he was younger and more prone to choosing ponies over trains, or pink over blue. It seems, though, their insistence upon standing by his choices, and defending them, have yielded a boy who is sure of himself and who doesn’t mind telling people pink isn’t a girl’s color.

Not all the boys involved in #aboycantoo are as fortunate, though. Some have to deal with family members who aren’t sure what to make of their interests, or who express fear that their interests mean they are gay.

“They’re the ones that I’m trying to influence,” McGoey said. “I’m talking to moms and dads who are saying ‘Finally, someone understands what

we’re going through’ and the boys who sit and watch their brothers and sisters get medals for everything they do. They might be a good cook, or a good reader or a good dancer. So it’s a way to celebrate them.”

What McGoey has seen in some of the boys she has photographed is a growing sense of self, and of their relevance in the world, through the art they are pursuing. Brendan, a 15-year-old dancer involved in the project, has become aware of the positive impact he could have on younger male dancers. For these boys to be role models for others who may be struggling is crucial, and that is evident from the volume of messages McGoey has received from all over the world, thanking her for starting this project.

Now that my own son is 2 years old and exercising a bit of autonomy, I have watched him choose pink over blue many times. I watch as he tries on his older sister’s sparkly necklaces, fights with her over who gets to wear the pink purse, and yes, I put ponytails in his hair, just like Mama

and his sisters, every time he asks for them. I also see him carry his Thomas the Tank Engine to bed, so he can cuddle it when he sleeps. I see how much he loves to sing and dance, and I also see him squeal in delight when we drive by a construction site and he spots a crane.

My job, as his parent, is to let him explore it all. We spend so much time fighting against the message of girls needing to be pretty and preferring dolls and clothes over trucks and mud, that we’ve forgotten about the boys, and what they’re being directed toward. Dinosaurs and monsters never seem to come in pink, do they? And why can’t little boys wear flowers, anyway? The wonderful thing about McGoey’s #aboycantoo project is it celebrates boys for making brave choices.

It celebrates all the facets that are part of a well-rounded male, no matter how he identifies. So, when she begins photographing new subjects again, you can bet my son will be part of the lineup.

South Dakota Dear Lifestyle Choices: Do not attempt to de-

bate this with your 9-year-old. If your daughter argues with you about your parenting style, tell her that different families have different standards and that you are doing what you think is right for yours. Period. If she needs more of an explanation, then fall back on the message you have been sending her, and in time she will understand.

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

Dr. Wallace: Both of my parents smoke and so does my grandmother, and they smoke in our house. Whenever they light up, I go outside and whenever I can, I take my cat with me. I also have a pet canary, but it stays in the house. Does secondhand smoke hurt pets? My grandmother says no. – Karen, Monmouth, Illinois Karen: Pets are extremely vulnerable to secondhand tobacco smoke and may suffer from a runny nose, throat irritations and sneezing. There is a chance that even a normal, healthy pet can become allergic to cigarette smoke, increasing its chances of getting lung cancer. Caged pets such as hamsters and birds are especially prone to respiratory trouble. Whenever possible, open the windows to ventilate your house so your pets can get plenty of fresh, smoke-free air.

Dr. Wallace: I just finished reading a letter from Cindy in Indiana.

Her parents were divorced and she was living with her mother and never had contact with her father. Her mother told her not to contact him because she thought it was his job to make contact with her.

I’d like to share my own experience in the same situation with your teen readers and I hope they will benefit from it. When I was only one year old my parents got a divorce. My father stayed in contact with me regularly until I was 8 when his visits became less frequent. He eventually stopped calling and coming to see me entirely.

I felt that since he was my father that it was his responsibility to keep in touch with me.

My mother never discouraged me from calling or writing to him, but she never really suggested it either. I’m 16 now and I haven’t seen him since I was 12. My advice

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace to Cindy is to go ahead and contact your father immediately by letter or by phone! And when you reach him, tell him that you love him and miss him.

I do have a wonderful stepfather, but sometimes I miss my real father and I can’t help but think that if I had made a little more effort my father and I would have been closer.

My father missed my first leading role in my school play, teaching me to drive and get my driver’s license, and most of all, he missed out on knowing a pretty great daughter. My stepfather is wonderful and I love him very much, but I still wonder about the man who should be very close to me, but is only a stranger today. –

Laurie, Dallas, Texas Laurie: Thanks for sharing your

high marks in the areas of reliability, trust, honesty, morality, attitude and common sense. Some teens possess the maturity to date at age 14, while others don’t, even at 17. Most teens, however, begin dating at 15 or 16.

Dating plays a very important role in a teen’s social maturation.

Parents should meet their teen’s date beforehand and discuss the particulars: Where will you be going? How will you get there? What time will you be home? Teens who resist this, indicate that they lack the maturity to date.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 15 and a wellliked, well-rounded student. It so happens that I’m average when it comes to grades. I have to work hard to maintain a B average.

Both of my parents are college graduates and practice law. Both of them, at times, have commented on my “lack of intelligence.”

About a month ago, my mom made the statement that I’d never become an attorney because I don’t have the necessary smarts.

This really hurt me. Why can’t my parents accept me just the way I am? I’m doing my best. Both parents were honor students in high school and college and they don’t understand why I am not. – Name-

experience with our teen readers.

Your advice is excellent. Much too often we allow pride or some other silly hang-up to keep us from renewing friendships or being close to loved ones. The one bearing the olive branch shows strength, not weakness!

Dr. Wallace: I’m 15 and want to start dating, but my mom feels I should wait until I’m 17. I think 17 is out of the question. I’ll be an old maid by that time. All of my girlfriends are dating and many are going steady. I’m the fish out of water and I don’t enjoy it one bit.

What age do you think a teen should start dating? Mom said that if you answer my questions, she would take what you say into consideration. – Madison, Portland,

conference with your counselor to be told that you are working up to your ability and that they should be very proud of your academic achievements.

As an employer, I’d much rather have the B student who works up to his ability than the gifted A student who doesn’t have to break a sweat to get top grades and never pushes himself. Make sure your parents read my response to your letter.

Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY have an issue with my father Jeanne and don’t know Phillips where to turn.

Dad is in his early 80s and – aside from poor eyesight – he’s in good health. I’m concerned because he has developed an unusual habit. He likes to look through the dumpsters behind the grocery store.

Initially he told me it was to get old produce for compost in his garden. But I have learned that he eats some of the things he finds. I have tried telling him this is dangerous. He could cut himself digging through the trash or get food poisoning. He refuses to listen and insists that what he is doing is safe. (He is NOT forced to do this out of economic necessity. He has enough money to buy groceries.)

The situation has become critical because he is now planning to cook something he found in the dumpster for a family gathering. I told him not to do it. If he does prepare food from the trash, I told him he must let people know where it came from, so they can make an informed decision about whether to eat it. Abby, please help. – Grossed Out Dear Grossed Out: If you can’t convince your father to disclose to relatives that the food he’s serving may have come from a dumpster, YOU should alert them to that possibility.

Dear Abby: My 9-year-old daughter has several friends whom we love and who are good buddies for her. However, the rules in their homes are different from those at ours. One friend in particular, “Sarah,” eats a lot of junk food and watches more TV than we allow. When my daughter asks why she can’t have chips and ice cream after school, or why we watch movies only on weekends, I remind her that good food and exercise make her healthy, and with less TV she does better in school.

I’m not interested in critiquing Sarah or her family, who are lovely people we really like.

However, I do want to make the connection between unhealthy lifestyle choices and possible consequences because this is a subject we’ll keep revisiting as my daughter grows up.

I have been trying to say things like, “Everyone makes their own decisions. This is why we do it this way,” but at 9, my daughter sees things as pretty black or white. If our way is right, then their way must be wrong. I’m totally failing at subtlety. Is there a better approach that I could take to talking about this without invoking comparisons? – Lifestyle Choices in

CROSSWORD PUZZLE ANSWERS

Fiber integral part of healthy diet Dear Doctor: Our family went out to dinner the other night, and when I urged our kids to order a salad instead of french fries because of the dietary fiber in salads, they challenged me to explain why. I was embarrassed that all I could come up with about the benefits of fiber was “because it’s good for you.” Can you help?

Dear Reader: Don’t feel bad! With your brief answer, you got right to the heart of the matter – dietary fiber is integral to a well-balanced diet and to a healthy life. It lowers your risk of heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers, prevents constipation, stabilizes blood sugar and can help you maintain a healthy weight.

But kids are often natural skeptics when it comes to any kind of rules, so we’re happy to help you out with the science of why dietary fiber matters.

Let’s start with what we’re referring to when we talk about fiber. Dietary fiber is the part of the fruit, vegetable or grain that your body cannot digest and absorb. It falls into two basic categories. Fiber that can dissolve in water is known as soluble fiber.

Fiber that cannot dissolve in water, and which passes through the body pretty much intact, is known as insoluble fiber.

Each type of fiber offers a specific health benefit. Soluble fiber dissolves in water to form a kind of gel matrix, which puts the brakes on the entire digestive process.

The presence of soluble fiber slows the absorption of sugars, which stabilizes blood glucose levels. It binds cholesterol so that instead of being absorbed by the body, cholesterol is excreted. And because the stomach takes longer to empty when soluble fiber is present, you wind up feeling fuller for longer.

Insoluble fiber, meanwhile, has an equally important job. Not only do the texture and “chew” that insoluble fiber adds to food make a meal more interesting, it travels relatively unchanged through the digestive tract and gives much-needed bulk to stool. This results in easier and more regular elimination.

Insoluble fiber also helps to control the pH of the colon, and helps to prevent microbes from producing cancerous substances.

How much fiber do you need? Current recommendations put the number at 25 grams a day for women younger than 50, and 38 grams a day for men younger than 50. For adults older than 50, the number is 21 grams a day for women, and 30 grams a day for men.

Although all kinds of fiber supplements are available, they lack vitamins, minerals and micronutrients, so it’s better to eat whole foods. Most fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes and grains contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, but in differing amounts. For the best results, eat from a wide range of foods.

If fiber has been missing from your diet, it’s wise to add it slowly. Make the change to a high-fiber diet too quickly and you run the risk of unpleasant side effects, such as gas.

And be sure to drink plenty of liquid to keep the fiber – and your digestive tract – moving smoothly.

Downtime in winter gives opportunity to get organized for spring

By BARBARA DAMROSCH Special to The Washington Post

The Herald / KCChronicle.com • Thursday, March 16, 2017

| REAL ESTATE

36

After the holidays, our household is full of quiet celebrations that can be just as joyous as the noisier ones.

Aflame with the spirit of cleaning up, clearing out and simplifying, we attack cluttered desks, stuffed closets and any area that has the feng shui of a blocked artery. Last January, in a Marie Kondo frenzy, I rolled and folded every cloth object on the premises.

This year’s campaign was launched in our furnace room. It has always housed our garden tools pretty well, but pretty well was no longer good enough. Even well-planned storage systems must be refined and updated, and winter is the time for that, before the haste and zeal of gardening puts them to the test.

Tools, like plants, can multiply. So our first step was to purge the room of anything obsolete, redundant, useless or beyond repair. Out went the leaky buckets, torn row covers, left-hand gloves with no mates and stinky mosquito sprays that repelled nothing but people. What remained suddenly looked manageable, and you could even walk across the floor.

Still, certain problem areas stood out. The worst was my collection of metal plant supports in various shapes and sizes. Even after throwing out the bent and poorly designed ones, I needed a plan for the corner where they were kept, that is to say, sprawled.

I sorted the vertical supports by height and corralled them into three upright containers. The circular ones were falling off their shared wall hook, so I bought three more hooks and sorted the supports by size and style. Did I need so many round grids to hold up bushy perennials? Maybe not, but we’ve found that they can hold fireworks tubes safely upright as well.

Long-handled tools such as forks and spades also had wall hooks, but again we needed more hooks – and better ones. Hardware stores, garden centers and big-box stores offer many kinds, some as simple as a single screw-in hook, like a giant cup hook. Those are good for small hangable tools such as pruning saws, loppers and hedge shears. But the Photo by Barabara Damrosch - For The Washington Post

Watercress, an edible aquatic plant, thrives along Barbara Damrosch’s pond.

planted at the outflow has long since given up on that spot, crossed the pond and taken up residence where water from the ditch flows in. The water carries with it nutrients from the fertile soil of our growing areas, and I figure that’s what the watercress was after. Because we keep the water wholesome by avoiding chemicals on our land, we eat the watercress with confidence and look forward to its reappearance each year. We have also grown watercress in regular garden beds with frequent watering or by using an automatic misting system.

Q&A

A number of food crops like to grow in wet places, but the degree of moisture they need varies. Our blueberries, for example, like the slightly wet spot near the house that we’ve chosen for them. They also would do well along the shores of a pond. But unlike the mint, nettles and watercress, they can’t have their roots flooded.

In the wild, they’re found in swampy areas, but only if they’re perched on hummocks at least 14 inches above the water level. They also can thrive in regular garden soil as long as it’s made moisture-retentive by adding

Is there a way to clean oily, leather desk mat?

By JEANNE HUBER Special to The Washington Post

I have a leather desk mat next to my computer. Oils from my hand and forearm build up on the leather. Do you have any suggestions for removing these unwanted marks?

Use Chamberlain’s Straight Cleaner No. 2, suggests Vanessa Shropshire, a spokeswoman for Saddleback Leather in Fort Worth, Texas, which sells leather items, including desk mats. (It can be reached at 210-8585210 or saddlebackleather.com.) This cleaner, also labeled as Chamberlain’s Leather Milk, sells for $12 for a 6-ounce bottle on the Saddleback website and the manufacturer’s website, leathermilk.com.

This product contains alcohol, which lifts the oils but can also dry

out leather. So it’s recommended that you follow up with a leather conditioner, such as Chamberlain’s Leather Care Liniment No. 1 ($17 for 6 ounces).

Instructions for using the cleaner say to “massage” a small amount into the leather, using a terry-cloth applicator that’s included with the product.

But you might want it to be a gentle massage because another company that sells leather desk mats, JKS Marketing in Unionville, Ontario, warns against rubbing when you clean. (It can be reached at 905-475-7451 or jksmarketing-deskpads.com.)

“Sponge gently until all grime and stains are absorbed,” the company’s website stated. It says to use a “gentle cleaner” but makes no recommendation about which one.

Continued from page 36 farther out a support extends from the wall, the more D-handle spades and other implements you can put on it. Straight-handle tools are hung working end up between two hooks, or even grouped in a garbage can if wall space is limited. Leaning against a wall is the worst way to arrange them, since they will always fall down.

However well designed a tool wall is, it’s only as good as the empty space in front of it. You will never put away a tool if you have to get past a lawn mower, bicycle, bagged fertilizers and the stuff on its way to the dump. Place bags of soil amendments such as lime in tubs or buckets, where they can harmlessly rip and spill. Stack pots and pot saucers in tidy towers.

Any kind of netting – bird net, deer net, plant support net, volleyball net – will catch on your feet and get tangled up with your tools. Store it somewhere off the floor and out of the way. Hoses are almost as bad and are best suspended from simple but sturdy hose hangers. I favor those with a wide, metal, downward-facing

arc that you can loop the hose over, with an upright piece at the end to keep the hose from falling off. Those are also good for extension cords and rope.

In the end, though, it’s the countless little odds and ends that do you in. A metal utility shelf allows you to sort items by type and caddy them. A plastic seedling tray could hold trowels, dandelion diggers, hand pruners and nozzles. A small wooden box that tangerines came in could take care of tape measures and garden lines. Fill one shoe box with gloves, another with balls of twine.

For even smaller items such as plant labels, hose connectors and tomato clips, use the best storage receptacle ever invented: the quart yogurt container. Eat enough yogurt, and soon you’ll have a row of them, each marked with a black Sharpie, another tool without which a gardener would be lost. In fact, I just labeled a yogurt container “Black Sharpie Pens.”

A perfect first step for the new garden year.

When spring comes, I keep a sharp eye on the wet parts of our property.

The two great forces of spring are sun and water, and as the days grow longer and warmer, the ditch we have dug to drain excess moisture from our gardens offers nutritious fare even before those gardens are dry enough to till.

The mint we planted in the ditch years ago has colonized a long stretch of it. The first little green tips emerge from the water at the ditch’s bottom, and only later start to climb its banks.

We snip the first shoots for a celebratory round of mojitos, muddling the flavorful leaves and stems with maple sugar and ice in tall glasses. Soon we’ll have enough mint to gather handfuls for mint tea.

Nettles appear in the ditch about the same time, volunteers that have come in on their own and seem to be chasing the mint downstream. Those I’ll turn into a creamy nettle soup.

Meanwhile, the mint is staking out new territory. It has traveled under the driveway by way of a culvert that directs the ditch water down to our spring-fed pond.

At the pond, the watercress we once

organic matter. You must also irrigate them in dry weather, and it helps to apply mulch to prevent evaporation.

Keeping the soil acidic by adding peat moss and avoiding lime is important, too.

Cranberries like similar conditions, but they will tolerate periodic flooding. You don’t have to flood them, though: The reason commercial cranberry farms float the berries in man-made bogs is to make them easier to harvest.

There are other water-loving food plants that might be fun to try. The Indian or sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is a true aquatic that can be grown in a pool or a pond and is edible in its entirety. Planted in a mud-bottomed pond, it will spread wide and far, although it will stay put in a sunken container.

Crisp, delicious water chestnuts are mud-dwellers that need cold protection north of Hardiness Zone 8, but a tub of mucky soil in a greenhouse or enclosed porch would do.

As for the cattails that have made their home on a shallow edge of our pond, I could extract the starch from their fibrous roots and make flour in time of famine, but for now I’ll leave that to the muskrats and enjoy the stately beauty of this fine native plant.

My electric oven makes me pine for an old flame: Wood stoves

By BARBARA DAMROSCH Special to The Washington Post “Your motherboard is shot,” the repairman said, shutting the door to my electric oven and gathering his tools. What a cozy word, I thought, for the complex electronic object that no longer governed my stove. “Eight years,” he explained, “is about the lifetime of this appliance.

You’re lucky it made it to 10.”

At moments like these, I get nostalgic for the simpler, more durable cooking setups I’ve worked with – old-fashioned gas stoves, wood-burning cook stoves and even fireplaces – all of which could turn out a good meal.

In the late 1970s, I lived with my young son, Chris, in a house built in the 1690s. The rooms were small, with ceilings and doorways so low that most people stooped to enter.

But the fireplace was vast.

Two men could easily stand up inside it while bringing in the giant logs that were once required to heat this old dwelling and keep a family fed. The beehive oven set in the back wall was too intimidating to use, but I’d make soup in an iron pot, hung from the horizontal crane that swung over the fire.

I also cooked while kneeling on the hearth. Potatoes could be covered with ashes that were hot enough to bake but not burn them. Pots could sit near the coals, raised on trivets to keep the bottoms from getting too hot. That worked best with simmered dishes, but I also baked corn bread, turning the pot to keep the heat even.

In a house that was difficult to heat, that fireplace was our friend. Chris and I would sit in front of it at night, reading C.S. Lewis’ “Chronicles of Narnia” series and Laura Ingalls Wilder’s “Little House” books.

I have a small fireplace in my present kitchen that I sometimes use for cooking, aided by an adjustable Tuscan grill, a simple iron frame that holds meat or vegetables just the right distance above a

I learned about it from our friend Alice Waters, who has a fireplace in her California kitchen. She once cooked me a well-buttered egg using a very-long-handled

iron ladle over the fire.

As romantic as the hearth can be, cooks must have loved the convenient, free-standing stoves that Benjamin Franklin brought into their lives.

I like the way a wood cook stove heats up, with very hot, medium and merely warm spots – a versatility that modern insulated stoves lack. In a small two-story house where

my husband and I once lived, our wood cook stove heated all the rooms, and, thanks to a coil in the firebox and a tall copper tank, supplied all our hot water, too.

At the beginning of the 19th century, gas entered American kitchens, but by degrees.

The stove I use now is from that era, a “duel fuel” range with four gas burners and a wood-fired oven. I don’t use the oven, which, because of its one-sided heat, does not bake evenly. Nor does it broil.

Hence the modern oven that sits next to it with the delicate computer.

I may sound like a quirky Luddite, but consider what so many American families do when they get a house with a yard. They set up a grill with fire under it, on which to cook food. Some Paleolithic echo must draw us to the mouths of our caves where flames are flickering and fat is spattering, as the day draws to a close.

Cooking with fire is mostly a summer pleasure, but it’s a shame to give it up in cold weather, when it can warm you as well. We have a wood stove in our current home, for supplemental heat, a modern Danish unit called the Bando, from a company called Rais. It has a tiny “oven” on top. Like the rest of the stove, the oven is soapstone clad, to absorb and radiate heat, but at first it seemed useless, merely a protruding shelf with no door.

Then one day I set a potato on it, and the potato baked.

I can fill a baking dish with root vegetables from our garden and roast them on that shelf. It’s easy to check on them when I feed the stove, rotating the dish so they don’t burn. Beets and celery root can take four hours, but potatoes, winter squash, onions, carrots and garlic soften quickly, especially when the fire is roaring on a cold winter day.

Favorite decor in Pantone’s Color of the Year, Greenery

By LINDSEY M. ROBERTS

The Parker Green Duvet’s preppy white stripes are a fun touch at pineconehill.com.

Special to The Washington Post Pantone selected its 2017 Color of the Year, Greenery, based on research that shows everyone just wants a big, deep breath of air. “We don’t all have access to the green forest, but we do have access to things we can bring into our home environment,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, which advises companies on color and forecast trends.

One way to do that is with this powerful color. When used on an accent wall, kitchen backsplash or throw, it will refresh and energize you. Pair it with warm whites and neutrals for a clean, tranquil vibe, or use a bright white for a fun, contemporary feel.

It’s especially nice in kitchens, where it’s natural to want a fresh feeling, but also in entries and hallways, to transition between room colors. “It is a very optimistic color,” said Lori Weitzner, a textile designer in New York and author of “Ode to Color.” “Use it in the right way in your home, and it will keep your spirits high.”

• One of the best places to use a bright green, Weitzner said, is in the kitchen. Add plants and herbs, but also consider a green backsplash, an accent wall or even an indoor-outdoor rug. Dash & Albert’s Samode Indoor/ Outdoor Rug pairs a vegetal green called Sprout with a warm ivory – and spills come out with a quick hosedown ($48 to $672, dashandalbert.com).

• Play with Greenery in a small way with the Miguel Green Highball Glass ($7, crateandbarrel.com). Depending on how you set the table, the color changes like a chameleon. With bright whites, “it could be terrific and energetic,” Alexandria, Virginia-based interior designer Victoria Sanchez said in an email. It could also counterbalance gray or, when paired with other brights, signal a party atmosphere.

• Don’t worry about this color being a mere fad. Our eyes never tire of

green just as they never tire of a view of trees. Ikea’s Fargrik 18-piece dinnerware set brings the timeless hue to your kitchen table ($25, ikea.com).

• As Eiseman traveled the world to collect data for this year’s color, she took note of people wanting a healthy diet, cooking with more herbs and embracing the green-tea powder called matcha, the color of which matches Greenery almost exactly. Sip your own green tea from the color-matching Pome Mug ($14, anthropologie.com).

By ADRIAN HIGGINS The Washington Post

Graphic by The Washington Post

opposed to farmers or professional landscapers, are the least likely to know what’s in a pesticide product and correctly follow the label’s directions.

“Instead of putting in a capful in a bucket of water, the homeowner will pour in half the bottle or the whole bottle,” with highly toxic results, Boulton said.

But Boulton and many other scientists say that even at correct doses, the compounds can harm desirable organisms, even if they don’t kill them.

Hartmut Doebel, assistant professor of biology at George Washington University, has directed honeybee experiments that suggest memory loss with extremely low levels of imidacloprid. Bees need memory to navigate between nectar sources and their hives, he said. Imidacloprid is one of the most common types of neonics; others include acetamiprid, clothianidin and dinotefuran. (These are the names consumers have to find in fine print on the bottle labels to know whether they contain neonics.)

“Even at sublethal levels, they have impairments of memory capacities,” he said.

“We are not aware of all the implications and effects” of the insecticides.

Doebel and others said that most of the research on neonic toxicity has been on honeybees, because of their agricul-

tural importance, and much less is known of the effects on other insects, including hundreds of species of native bees that are much harder to track.

This was a central argument by environmental groups commenting on a current draft assessment of imidacloprid by the Environmental Protection Agency. (A preliminary review says honeybees feeding on two crops – citrus and cotton – have been placed at risk from neonics.)

“In our home gardens, we have an amazing array of beneficial insects – lacewings, assassin bugs, for example – that help us maintain pest levels,” said Aimee Code, pesticide program director at the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation. “Neonics can be extremely harmful, particularly because they are so long-lived and toxic.”

Neonics entered the market in the 1990s and were quickly embraced by farmers around the world: They were cheap, effective, long-lasting and safe for people and other warm-blooded animals, which was not the case for older-generation pesticides, including ones made from real nicotine.

As a systemic insecticide, neonics are taken up within a plant’s tissues. This proved a seemingly perfect way of targeting the aphids, flea beetles, weevils, worms or whatever

pest was sucking the sap or munching on the leaves. Even if you just treated a seed with a neonic, it would grow into a plant fully protected from pests.

Stephanie Darnell, a scientist with Bayer Crop Science, said that restricting a systemic pesticide such as neonics, which her company produces, could lead consumers to use more products that are less discriminating in what they kill. The Maryland bill could also push consumers to pay for lawn service agreements with contractors with licenses to use neonics, she said.

By 2011, almost one-third of insecticides used globally were neonics, creating a market worth $3.6 billion.

By then, the mysterious loss of honeybees known as colony collapse disorder had emerged to bring unsustainable hive losses to commercial beekeepers, and researchers began to link the crisis to the widespread use of neonics.

The jury is still out on the cause of the disorder, which is more likely to be a lethal mix of stressors, particularly the spread of a parasitic bee mite.

Some studies show that neonics compromise bees’ immune systems and ability to raise their young.

In spite of the absence of a clear single reason, the movement against neonics appears to be gaining traction. The European Union has imposed a ban on three types of neonics

Thursday, March 16, 2017 • KCChronicle.com / The Herald

Many homeowners want to throw a lifeline to beleaguered bees and butterflies by planting pollinator gardens that will provide sustenance and habitat, but the unwitting use of insecticides may lure these beloved insects to their doom.

The worry is that a common type of pesticide known as neonicotinoids, or neonics, will poison honeybees, bumblebees, monarch butterflies – all the species of insects that we want in our gardens.

For a decade, neonics have dominated a frustrating quest to find a cause for the loss of commercial beehives in agriculture, but the issue has also moved into the garden, particularly with new legislation in Maryland. If the Pollinator Protection Act is signed into law by Gov. Larry Hogan this month, consumers will not be able to buy neonic insecticides after 2017. Farmers and licensed applicators could still use them.

The pesticide industry says neonics are safe, that honeybees are doing all right and that the law “inexplicably blames homeowners for the nonexistent decline in bees.”

But those who want to see broader restrictions for neonics in the United States are buoyed by it. Hogan has yet to announce whether he will sign the bill.

“It’s important that Maryland be the leader and show the rest of the United States these are really harmful compounds and we need to limit their use,” said April Boulton, associate professor of biology at Hood College in Frederick.

She was among scientists testifying for the bill earlier this year.

Neonics control some of the most common and persistent garden pests, including thrips, adelgids, borers, scale insects and Japanese beetles, but they also kill or harm beneficial insects, as well as aquatic life if they enter bodies of water.

Within a treated plant, the compounds also find their way to pollen and nectar, the treats that flowers give pollinators for their service.

One of the major concerns is that homeowners, as

pending study. In the United States, the EPA has put a halt on issuing permits for new neonic pesticide products and is reevaluating the environmental risks of neonics. Several states besides Maryland are considering restrictions, and major retailers such as Lowe’s and Home Depot have said they will phase out the sale of neonic pesticides and label plants that have been treated.

Ortho recently announced it was removing neonics from eight consumer pesticides.

One quandary for gardeners is knowing whether annuals, perennials or even woody plants sold at garden centers have been treated with neonics, which can linger in a plant for a year or more, as well as in the soil. It’s also a challenge for independent garden centers, which might source a wide range of plants from dozens of different growers.

My thoughts? I wouldn’t want neonic-treated plants in my suburban garden, given the risks to bees. I could see using a neonic on a precious hemlock to ward off the woolly adelgid (as a conifer, the hemlock wouldn’t attract pollinators). If I had a specimen ash tree, now at mortal risk from the emerald ash borer, the choice would be hard, although ash trees aren’t known as big magnets for insect pollinators, so it might be justified.

I would never treat trees that are bee magnets, such as tulip trees, linden trees, cherries and hollies, and fruit trees, to name just a few obvious ones.

The bigger issue is the idea of reaching for a pesticide to fix a problem, which is often a symptom of something greater. Most problems can be minimized by picking a plant developed by nature or a breeder to grow in a region, to place it correctly, to care for the soil and to live with a level of insect or disease damage. Weeds are suppressed by the presence of more plants and by the gardener with a sharp hoe.

“We need to take a step back,” said Scott Black, executive director of the Xerces Society and the co-author of “Gardening for Butterflies.”

“We need to work with nature rather than fighting against it.”

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

BOB'S PAINTING – DECORATING and DECKS RENEWED Nolan Bushnell, the founder of Atari, said, “Business is a good game -- lots of competition and a minimum of rules. You keep score with money.”

Bridge is a great game -- lots of competition and, some would argue, too many laws. Sometimes you keep score with money.

Players often quote axioms (“rules”), although most of them are wrong at least as often as they are right. But a few, like the Rule of Eleven and the key play in today’s deal, are always right if the appropriate conditions are met (the lead being fourth-highest in the case of the Rule of Eleven).

What is the right play for East here? He is defending against four hearts, and West has led the diamond king.

Note North’s four-diamond jump cue-bid. It is a splinter bid showing four-card heart support, game-going values and a singleton or void in diamonds. South, with such a weak hand, has no thought of a slam.

It should be apparent to East that his side probably has to take one diamond and three spade tricks to defeat the contract. Also, it must be better for East to attack spades through declarer, rather than West’s leading around to him. So, East overtakes the diamond king with his ace.

But which spade should he lead next?

The normal card from J-7-6 is the six, but when you need three tricks in the suit, the correct card to lead is the jack. Now the contract goes down one.

Note that if East starts with the spade six, South plays low from his hand and is safe.

With medicine evolving we are able to now offer patients cutting edge treatment options that are alternatives to joint replacement surgery. The ChicagoLand Clinics offer therapies that are cutting edge treatment ideal for improving joint mobility, reducing joint pain and preventing costly and painful surgeries.

We have clinics throughout ChicagoLand that have partnered with the Stem Cell Institute of America because our providers understand you or someone you love may have been diagnosed with Arthritis, Degenerative Joint Disease or been told you are bone on bone.

We know that as people are diagnosed with these conditions, common treatments ensue, including OTC

medications, prescription drugs, pain killers, physical therapy, injections including cortisone and “rooster comb” (Synvisc, Orthovisc...) and even surgery.

As treatments are tried, the benefit and relief from many of these therapies is short lived and other treatment options are provided to take the previous protocol’s place and still temporary results are obtained. The end result for many of these conditions is major surgery, like a total joint replacement, or live with chronic pain and disability. We have the solution to many of these problems and it’s Regenerative Medicine presented by Stem Cell Institute of America.

The Stem Cell Institute of America offers seminars that include vital information on the healing potential of Amniotic Placental Tissue. This tissue is a rich source of non-immunogenic cells nearly eliminating the risk of rejection or side effects while providing an incredible healing force in your body. Over the span of a few weeks to months, the cells and growth factors assist your bodies ability to repair and regenerate cartilage, ligaments, joint fluid, muscles, tissues and even nerves. This simple in office procedure can have an incredible impact on your function and restore your pain free life.
