By TAMMY SWANSON editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – When you talk to Genna Mickey, the new assistant director of the Sugar Grove Public Library, the first thing you feel is her love of the library. The library is so much more than just checking out books.

It can be a magical place where you read to therapy dogs or discover the world of Dr. Who, watch a classic movie or see women in Alexander Hamilton’s life portrayed.

“The more I have been in the field, the more I realize it’s not just about books – it’s about people,” Mickey said.

“It’s about relationships and working with a community and being able to get invested and ingrained with a culture of a community. Each library is very unique, and that’s what I really enjoy about being in the library world.”

Mickey brings a great deal of enthusiasm to her new role at the Sugar Grove Public Library. She was promoted to assistant director on Feb. 1. Mickey will also retain her role as adult services manager.

In her new role, she will take on more responsibilities. Her addition-

al duties will include working closely with Library Director Shannon Halikias on such things as financial planning, long-term strategies for the library and devel- Genna oping emergency pre- Mickey paredness.

“I’m adding on additional duties that are meant to help the director and be an additional contact person for any of our events, be someone who is more familiar with financials and payroll and the operational aspects of the library, “ Mickey said.

As an adult services manager, Mickey is in charge of adult and teenage programming for the library. She also manages the library materials collection. Some of the programs offered for adults are a knitting club, classic movie afternoons and “Coffee, Coloring and Conversation.”

“Our most popular [programs] are historical portrayals. [Leslie Goddard] came in recently for a Hamilton program. She portrayed different women from Alexander Hamilton’s life. We had over 100 adults come to that program,” Mickey said.

In addition, Mickey has a great connection with teens. One of the most popular things at the library is the Anime Club.

“The kids are able to socialize [at Anime Club]. They come from all different schools,” Mickey said.

Another popular teenage program is Dr. Who. “In terms of pop culture, I would say Dr. Who is popular. We have a good amount of fans of that. We had a meet-up and focused on Dr. Who activities,” Mickey said.

Mickey has a master’s degree in library information science from Dominican University in River Forest. She also has a bachelor’s degree, with a double major in English and communications.

She started her career as a librarian at the River Forest Public Library. “I pursued the library degree because I wanted to work with books and literature and helping people learn,” Mickey said.

“I continue to see new families coming into the library and finding out about us. They are really excited to be in a space that has an art gallery, a coffee shop, a beautiful environment and friendly staff,” Mickey said. “That’s my biggest excitement is introducing the library to new users.”

Julie Walker - For Shaw Media

Kaneland School Board candidates Pedro Rivas (from left), Shana Sparber, Aaron Lawler and Noah Little speak at Meet the Candidates Night at the Sugar Grove Public Library on March 14. involved but was watching McDonald’s, and there were many times it was just nitpicking. I agree. I don’t care what the board says. I agree that there are things that Sugar Grove does to make it difficult for certain companies.”

Trustee candidate Alison Squires would like to see the board attract smaller independent businesses by offering rent subsidies or low rents rather than bringing in large companies.

“I think I would be careful about attracting businesses like large retail that could potentially pull their business and leave an empty space,” Squires said.

“Then it becomes an eyesore and costs us in tax dollars if we have to condemn the building or tear it down.”

Trustee Sean Herron said he was either still in high school or serving in Iraq when Menards and Pier 1 were considering building warehouses in Sugar Grove. Regardless, he agreed that bringing similar companies to Sugar Grove would be beneficial to the community.

“In my four years we’ve only denied one business, which was a video gaming café that we didn’t think was the right business for Sugar Grove,” Herron said.

“With being so close to I-88, we need to utilize that tool and bring some distribution centers in places where we’re not going to build residential homes and diversify our tax bases with those distribution centers, putting money into the school district and all other taxing bodies. That’s what I’d like to see.”

The Sugar Grove Township assessor position is also contested between newcomer Curt J. Karas and longtime incumbent Laura E. Ross.

Ross, who has served as assessor for the past 12 years and is seeking her fourth term, wants to continue serving the community. She’s climbed from a role as a secretary in an assessor’s office to where she is today.

“For the past six to eight months, there’s been a lot of politics going on, and I don’t like it,” Ross said. “I was elected to serve the people, and that’s the only people I serve. I continue to do that humbly because I care about people. I’m an old county girl who works hard for others and would like to continue doing that.”

She also said it takes years to understand how to do the job properly.

“It takes at least four years to understand the system,” she said. “It’s a learning process from day to day, so I think my experience is a key in this matter.”

Karas doesn’t think he’ll have a problem transitioning into the job.

“If by chance I’m fortunate to be the assessor, I’ve already had assessors in the area reach out to me to help with the transition,” he said. “If I have questions, I’ll ask the appropriate people.”

Karas has had an accounting firm in Sugar Grove for 24 years and said one of the biggest joys is working with people.

“I’ve made people millions of dollars, and I want to make people happy,” he said. “I want what’s best for the citizens of Sugar Grove. I have experience and will work hard. I’ve built businesses from the ground up and believe in customer service and communication.”

There are four people vying for three open spots on the Kaneland School Board – newcomers Aaron J. Lawler and Noah Little and current board members Pedro Rivas and Shana Sparber.

Little emphasized the importance of teachers.

“The No. 1 factor in the education lives of students are the adults that work with them,” he said. “It’s not the curriculum, it’s not the textbooks, it’s not the materials, it’s not the resources, it’s not the computer that sits in front of

them. It’s actually the adults that teach.

If elected onto the board, it’s something we’ll have to look at each year, so that we’re carrying out the district’s mission and vision and 20/20 strategic plan.”

Sparber said the biggest challenge is finding a way to balance the strategic plans with finances.

“I think finances are always a challenge in our school district, where so much of the taxes come from property owners,” she said. “They have been very generous supporting us in the past and have done their share, so it’s a challenge to always meet the needs of the district within those constraints. It’s a challenge to make sure we’re successful in implementing our strategic plan.”

Lawler talked about bullying in the schools and what needs to be done to deal with it.

“Bullying doesn’t just get fixed,” he said. “The error we make is we think we’ve solved the problem. You can’t actually solve the bullying. You can only continue to treat it because bullying will continue to evolve. What we can continue to do as parents, community members and teachers is try to foster empathy, service, kindness and action.

We can make those our values, and when we do this, it helps this problem in some way.”

Rivas, who has been on the board since 2013, wants to continue to serve.

“This is my way of giving back to the community,” he said. “I have two children almost finished through the system, and I’ve made a lot of friends and met a lot of community members.

I wouldn’t want to be a part of this if I didn’t care about education. It’s where I’m at presently. As board members, we support the teachers and the administration and are looking to make a difference.”

SUGAR GROVE – Whether the village of Sugar Grove is business friendly is the major bone of contention between the five candidates for village trustee who are battling for three positions in the April 4 consolidated election.

During a Meet the Candidates Night on March 14 at the Sugar Grove Public Library, the candidates were asked five questions, including “In the past, some have voiced that the village could be more business friendly. How business friendly is the village, and what can we do to encourage more current businesses to expand and new ones to move to Sugar Grove?”

Trustee Rick Montalto was insulted by the question and challenged that a business owner posed it. Moderator Bo Smith confirmed it did come from a business owner. Smith is an employee of Shaw Media.

“I’m actually offended by that comment,” Montalto said. “For some reason that comment keeps coming back to haunt us that years ago someone said it was unfriendly or hard for businesses to work with Sugar Grove. That is not the case. You can talk to any of the businesses that have opened in the last six to eight years – McDonald’s, Walgreens, the new Shell gas station, the BP that’s going up, the current Dunkin’ Donuts, Ace. Everyone has said that we have been phenomenal to work with, better than any community they’ve come across. So where this is coming from, I have no idea. We are very diligent with being friendly with businesses coming, encouraging people to come in. That’s false. That’s no longer the case.”

Trustee candidate Ted Koch sided with Montalto.

“I strongly challenge that notion also that we’re not business friendly,” Koch said. “We are very business friendly. I think we’ve shown some very good examples of that. We’ve got board members out there trying to court new business. We’re not just sitting around waiting for people to come to us. We’ve worked hard to bring folks into our town.”

Trustee candidate Karen McCannon completely disagreed.

“I have heard that statement that Sugar Grove is not very easy to work with,” she said. “I guess I have three things to say – Menards warehouse, Pier 1 warehouse, [Raging Waves] Waterpark. These are things we could’ve had and don’t. I’ve heard from some contractors that have said Sugar Grove is very difficult to work with. I was not

SUGAR GROVE VILLAGE TRUSTEE (VOTE FOR THREE) What project most needs to be completed in Sugar Grove? And how would you work to ensure the project is actually finished and done well? Completing the I-88/Route 47 highway exchange is probably one of the most impactful projects we have going right now. It will be a key factor in attracting more businesses to Sugar Grove.

Continuing to work collaboratively with the engineers, members of the board, IDOT, Kane County and village staff will help ensure that this project is finished and finished well.

Sean Herron (incumbent)

Brenda Schory - bschory@shawmedia.com

Get to know Steven Anderson Maple Park resident Steven Anderson, 43, was at St. Charles Bowl when he answered questions for the Kane County Chronicle’s Brenda Schory.

Schory: Where did you grow up?

Anderson: Colorado, Illinois, Georgia and Alabama Schory: Do you have any pets?

Anderson: Three dogs: George, a wirehair terrier, and Harley and Little Bit are both rat terriers Schory: Who would play you in the movie of your life?

Anderson: Ryan Reynolds Schory: First job?

Anderson: A waiter

What project most needs to be completed in Sugar Grove? And how would you work to ensure the project is actually finished and done well? Settler’s Ridge. So far the village has done a good job in ushering through the roadwork, lighting and other projects that needed to get done after the lawsuit was settled with the developer and title company. But I want to continue to hear directly from the Settler’s Ridge HOA and homeowners to discuss what’s next. Bringing the flooding issues in Mallard Point to a conclusion and continuing to fight IDOT to complete their repair work on the Route 56 deck are also critical.

Ted Koch (incumbent) What project most needs to be completed in Sugar Grove? And how would you work to ensure the project is actually finished and done well? Mallard Point has some definite water and drainage issues, and the village has tried to solve the problems. I would work closely with public works, engineers and sewer contractors, along with residents, to become aware of all levels of concerns.

Karen McCannon What project most needs to be completed in Sugar Grove and how would you work to ensure that the project is completed and done well? There are a number of projects that are currently being worked on by your Village Board, in partnership with other entities, so it is hard to designate just one as the most important. That is what most new candidates running for office don’t understand. Many new candidates run because of one issue that is a pet peeve. It also takes time to build relationships with other agencies you are working with in order to keep projects moving forward in a timely manner. As a village trustee, you have to have many irons in the fire at the same time, as there are time constraints on all of the projects. Some may be accomplished fairly quickly, like updating Rick Montalto our village website to make it more user friendly, but others may take years, like the additional entrance and exit (incumbent) ramps at Route 47 and I-88. Currently the interchange at Route 47 and I-88, along with widening Route 47 through Sugar Grove, are important goals for the future. This would entice further business growth, providing a stronger tax base, additional jobs for residents and help traffic flow through the community. I would continue to work with our staff, engineers and the other entities involved to make sure we are staying on our projected timeline and in budget to ensure the projects are completed.

What project most needs to be completed in Sugar Grove? And how would you work to ensure the project is actually finished and done well? The appearance of our medians down the main strip of Route 47 through Sugar Grove look poor. I plan to work with the state to improve the appearance of the medians on Route 47.

Schory: As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Anderson: I always wanted to be a Marine and I became that.

Schory: Favorite charity?

Anderson: Wounded Warrior Project Schory: Book or movie you would recommend?

Anderson: “Contact” by Carl Sagan Schory: Favorite local restaurant?

Anderson: The Lodge near Campton Hills Schory: What is an interesting factoid about yourself?

Anderson: I met my all-time football hero, John Elway, when I was 10 and I got his autograph and a picture with him.

Alison Squires

SUGAR GROVE TOWNSHIP ASSESSOR (VOTE FOR ONE) Why have you decided to run for election/re-election in the Sugar Grove Township assessor race? Several community leaders asked me to run four years ago just before the last election. I researched the requirements for the office and found there are special educational prerequisites for the position. I talked to my wife about how I could lend a hand. We agreed I should help out. During the last four years I’ve traveled throughout Illinois attending assessor classes, meeting people from various positions in the profession. In 2016, I received the Certified Illinois Assessing Officer Designation through the Illinois Property Assessment Institute. I have already put that knowledge to work helping my clients and neighbors. I plan to develop new technologies for the benefit of our taxpayers to identify unclaimed qualified tax exemptions, thus reducing assessed taxes.

Curt Karas Why have you decided to run for election/re-election in the Sugar Grove Township assessor race? Our township community is so deserving of an elected official who will continue to hear the needs of taxpayers, one who has developed and maintained high ethical standards to ensure fairness and uniformity, one who listens and responds quickly to your concerns and continues to provide great customer service to everyone. Equally important, there is always valuable experience to be learned as an assessor in Illinois, since it is the only elected position that requires certification and continuing education.

Laura E. Ross (incumbent)

Early voting starts March 23. Election day is April 7.

KANE SCHOOL DISTRICT 302 BOARD (VOTE FOR THREE) What project most needs to be completed in Kaneland School District 302? And how would you work to ensure the project is actually finished and done well? In short, my first priority as a board member is collaboration. Below I outline a number of ways to increase communication and collaboration between the stakeholders, but know that my goal is to get the board speaking directly with constituents and constituents speaking directly with administration and teachers. This is my priority, because I do not believe a board member should have an agenda, but simply be the con- Aaron J. duit that connects stakeholders and fosters open, honest and transparent Lawler communication. My priorities include: A. fostering more and/or new communication channels and programs between teachers and parents, B. encourage parents to be more engaged with the schools and the teachers more engaged in the community and C. maintain a fiscally responsible budget while maximizing our resources. My plan is to ensure we have happy parents and happy teachers – this is what is best for our children; which is why I am both pro-community and pro-teacher! Simply, we need more communication between parents, teachers, administrators and the board. We need ways in which parents and teachers can speak directly with administrators and board members, and vice versa. We need open forums, multimedia and social media outlets, and other ways which invite this open, honest and transparent communication. We need to hear from our children, too – the students’ needs are important and must be addressed.

What project most needs to be completed in Kaneland School District 302? And how would you work to ensure the project is actually finished and done well? We would have to evaluate projects against the district’s strategic plan. Once the projects are identified, I would expect the board to work with administration to establish a timeline to complete the project, the timeline would need to include benchmarks to assure we’re meeting our deadline and a communications plan to make sure the district is kept abreast of the progress.

What project most needs to be completed in Kaneland School District 302? And how would you work to ensure the project is actually finished and done well? We have so many projects and only a certain amount of funds, where the administration evaluates the most urgent needs and brings to the school board members ... a plan on how to best spend from the funds available. The projects selected are appropriately scheduled and seen through completion. The administration reports the status of projects until completed.

Pedro Rivas (incumbent)

What project most needs to be completed in Kaneland School District 302? And how would you work to ensure the project is actually finished and done well? The most important “project” is implementing the district’s strategic plan. One component of the strategic plan is creating personalized learning experiences with rigor, relevance and relationships for all students. This will require forming deeper relationships with students to understand their strengths and interests to be Shana able to jointly create individualized goals. This will also require even greater coordination throughout a student’s entire Kaneland expeSparber rience. Kaneland has many committed, creative and knowledgeable (incumbent) professionals, who I am confident will develop great ideas that will begin to form an implementation plan. One of the biggest challenges for the board will likely be working with stakeholders to balance the goals of the strategic plan with the district’s financial constraints. We need to begin to understand the components most critical to success to ensure adequate resources will be available.

BLACKBERRY TOWNSHIP SUPERVISOR (VOTE FOR ONE) What differentiates you from the other candidate(s) running for this seat? … My opponent … has elected to speak primarily about McNair Field.

I am proud that the township trustees have entered into an intergovernmental agreement with the Forest Preserve District of Kane County. The FPDKC purchased the land, without township knowledge, then made it available for lease as potential sport fields. … Subsequently, the township has secured financial grant dollars to offset the cost of developing the fields. Most of the youth sport groups do not have a permanent home, and Fred the township has given them this option and the opportunity to serve all Dornback the families and youth of our area for generations. Blackberry Township (incumbent) does not have a park nor recreation taxing body, so a minimum of start-up funds came from township resources. Each participating sport group will have the responsibility to pay their share of development and maintenance of the fields.

What differentiates you from the other candidate(s) running for this seat? I think my commitment to open and transparent government sets me apart from other candidates. From my discussions with residents, I have found that they feel they do not have a voice and that government doesn’t care about their opinions. I feel that is terribly wrong. I think they should feel that they do have a voice, and I look forward to being the kind of elected [official] that they feel comfortable approaching with any issue. I also believe that if you have a position on any issue, you should be able to defend that position with facts and be willing to eagerly communicate that position to anyone.

Election complaint hotline set in county KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – The Kane County election complaint line for those who observe or experience voting problems or irregularities during the upcoming consolidated election has been set up. Those who experience issues can call 630-2085328 to report the problems, officials announced in a news release.

The complaint line will be available from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. April 4 for the

consolidated election, which has contests county-wide for many municipal offices, the release stated.

Anyone who experiences or witnesses any possible illegal election activity – such as electioneering, illegally placed campaign signs or denial of voting rights at any of Kane County’s 228 voting precincts – should call the hotline.

Representatives of the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office will staff the hotline to take the complaints about potential violations of Illinois

election laws and are prepared to travel to polling places to ensure compliance with state election laws, the release stated.

“No matter the size of the election and the number of candidates on the ballot, we have a duty to ensure the integrity and fairness of every contest, every election,” Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon stated in the release. “Our attorneys will be ready to assist election judges and voters to see that polling places

are run fairly and free of unlawful activity.”

Officials also expect, as in past elections, that they will not encounter any issue that cannot be immediately addressed and corrected, McMahon stated in the release.

Voters should note that the hotline is not for election questions, such as polling times and places. Voters in need of election information should call the Kane County Clerk’s Office election helpline at 630-232-5990, the release stated.

Some extracurricular athletics and activities at Kaneland School District 302 will continue to grow, while others will sustain cuts or be eliminated for 2017-18.

The school board approved these adjustments to the differentials/ stipends during a meeting March 13.

“Looking at the coaches per sport and athletes per team, we wanted to make sure that we were addressing everything, regardless of removing them or adding something,” said Christopher Adkins, director of human resources for the district.

“The same thing with activities. We looked at the same thing, the needs and interests, and we didn’t discount the under-represented groups because we may have a club with four kids that still provides a service to those students, and we didn’t feel comfortable removing those programs.”

The board approved the removal

of 15 stipend/differential positions, including the assistant girls bowling coach, assistant pompom coach in both the fall and winter, and the sponsors for Writers Block, French Club, Assistant Model United Nations and Academic Banquet.

Writers Block has only five members, while the French Club has only eight. Both have been meeting once a month.

They board also approved the reduction of four class sponsors to two.

Previously there was one for each class for the freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors. Now sponsors will take on double the duties.

On the flip side, the board approved the addition of 11 positions, including four for Project KC (Kindness Campaign) at John Stewart, McDole, Blackberry and John Shields schools. They also approved the addition of an assistant boys track coach, assistant boys cross country coach, assistant theater director, science club assistant and Key Club in general, at Kaneland High School, as well as two Operation Snowflake sponsors

SUGAR GROVE – The Sugar Grove Village Board voted unanimously to authorize a streetlight repair contract with Utility Dynamics at its March 7 meeting.

This contract will allow Utility Dynamics to make any underground repairs to streetlights within Sugar Grove.

In November, Sugar Grove’s public works department conducted a nighttime inspection of streetlights villagewide and found 33 were not working properly. Of those, eight had underground power problems.

The board also voted unanimously for a street-repair project. It will involve resurfacing and sealing cracks in the Carriage Hill subdivision, Merrill Road and Esker Drive, among other areas. A village estimate puts the cost at $231,500, above the board’s construction bid of $214,739.

Trustee David Paluch was absent.

Additionally, the Sugar Grove Village Board received the Government Finance Officers Association award for its comprehensive annual finance report.

“This is the 17th year we have received this award,” Village Clerk Cynthia Galbreath said.

at Harter Middle School.

There has been a particular need with Key Club, which has become quite popular, meeting weekly and averaging 31 to 40 students at each meeting, according to the district.

The addition of the positions, combined with the removal of others, is expected to create a savings of $18,400 for fiscal 2018.

The savings will allow Kaneland to continue offering a diverse array of extracurricular activities for its students, something which was praised by board member Peter Lopatin.

“I really appreciate the work that’s been done because this has been such a contentious process the last few years, and the fact that you were able to work cohesively through these issues I think is huge,” he said. “I don’t want the board counting how many people are in the programs. I don’t think that’s our role.”

The board unanimously approved the aforementioned adjustments to the 2017-18 differentials/ stipends.

I consider myself a storyteller and a recorder of history. Unfortunately, I’m also tasked with recording and telling horrific stories sometimes.

I try so hard to be considerate of those mourning and hope that I am not a hindrance to their grieving process.

Even the most close-knit, loving communities are touched by tragedy, and it’s up to us to honor those victims and properly tell their stories.

Such was the case when two young ladies, twins, were gunned down by their father, who also shot and wounded his estranged wife.

It hits close to home. I think of my family, and I end up documenting these tragedies through my own tears.

SUGAR GROVE – Everything came up rosy March 14 for two students and a pair of teachers who came 635 miles from Rosedale, Miss., to accept 3,380 books to stock public library shelves there. Kaneland Harter Middle School sixth-graders also gave their guests $1,000 to help fix the town library’s leaky roof and begin other community improvements.

It was the first time students and teachers from both places met face-to-face.

Since November 2016, 30 Harter Middle School students gave up lunch time to coordinate the Rosedale Reading Project. Two are project co-presidents.

The other 28 work on project committees, including public relations, web design and community outreach.

Co-presidents are Abbey Mondi, 11, of Elburn, and Braden Leber, 12, of Sugar Grove. A third student, Mackenzie Hardy, 12, of Maple Park, heads the PR committee. “It was great to see how what was just an idea last fall turned into something so big in such a short time,� Leber said.

Kane County open space referendum to appear on April 4 ballot

By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Kane County voters will be asked to decide on a $50 million land acquisition and improvement referendum put on the April 4 ballot by the Kane County Forest Preserve District Commission.

Mark Davoust, treasurer for the commission, explained the tax implications at an information session. Because previously issued bonds have been retired or refinanced, taxpayers who own a $250,000 home are scheduled to see a reduction of $104 in their tax bill. If voters approve the new referendum, those homeowners would see $22 less in savings annually for the 20-year life of the bonds. “[We] go to residents and ask for their approval,” he said. “It puts democracy front and center. You tell us yes or no. You decide with your votes.”

He said 80 percent of the money would go to acquiring about 2,000 acres of land, and about 20 percent to capital improvement. The funds cannot be used for salaries, pensions or operations, he said.

“We’ve done it with almost the same amount of staff we had in 1999,” Davoust said, adding the referendums also helped the district receive nearly $35 million in additional grants to date.

A growth in personnel has been seen in the number of volunteers soaring from 50 in 1999 to more than 600 today, Davoust said.

“People who care about what you’re doing … volunteer to come help,” he said.

The Conservation Foundation provided its own poll on the referendum, and asked what residents would like to see done.

Responses included natural areas improvements, habitat restoration, water access, water quality, and trail

and preserve linkages, said Monica Meyers, the district’s executive director. She noted the district has a double-A-plus rating with Standard & Poor’s.

If the referendum passes, future land acquisitions would focus on expanding and connecting existing holdings, a strategy designed to be operationally efficient, Davoust said.

The forest preserve district would collaborate with municipalities and park districts in pursuing connectivity.

Commission President Michael Kenyon called the preservation of open space a legacy.

“What are we going to pass on?”

Kenyon asked. “Empty stores, parking lots, piles of asphalt and concrete or grass and trees?”

Davoust said open space also serves

as a tax cap because areas that are not developed with homes do not require the same services or schools to be built.

“I think it’s the biggest bargain Kane County has ever had – we get so much for so little,” said Mary Ochsenschlager, volunteer co-chairwoman of The Conservation Foundation’s committee promoting passage of the referendum.

The Sugar Grove resident is a retired naturalist and ecologist, and a current volunteer and site steward for the county.

“It’s not just open space and a place to recreate and renew your spirit,” Ochsenschlager said. “It works for you cleaning water and … air. You don’t have to go there to benefit. Natural lands do a lot.”

A co-chairman of The Conservation Foundation committee is Jon Duerr of St. Charles, former forest preserve district executive director.

He said natural habitats improve drainage and impede flooding, while trees remove carbon dioxide from the environment.

After a presentation on the referendum hosted March 13 in Batavia by the Valley of the Fox Group of the Sierra Club, Dan Lobbes, director of land protection for The Conservation Foundation, thanked the organization for its support.

“There’s nothing more wonderful than open space and green energy,” said Mavis Bates, who chairs the local Sierra Club group.

In voting on whether to place the referendum on the ballot, three commissioners of 22 dissented. And Kane County Board Chairman Chris Lauzen expressed opposition in a letter to the editor sent to the Kane County Chronicle.

“We are frequently told that we do not have sufficient budget to operationally take care of the forest preserve property we currently own … $50 million more in additional purchases will make this even more difficult,” he wrote as part of the letter.

“I am told repeatedly and emphatically that you and I are ‘being taxed out of our homes.’ … It is inconsistent and seemingly irrational to then vote to increase your property taxes.”

Elgin Mayor David Kaptain voiced support for the referendum in his letter to the editor. “It takes a long-term view to see the value of these open spaces for future generations,” he wrote. “Elgin received gifts of land for Lords and Wing parks in the late 1800s.

The families that made the donations believed that those properties on the outskirts of Elgin would someday become parks surrounded by the city that would be enjoyed by thousands of visitors each year.” To learn more, visit kaneforest.com/publications/referenda/Ref17-Presentation.pdf.

OPINIONS | Photo provided

Getting through winter with Chinese mantids I suppose we all have different ways of coping with winter doldrums. Even though this winter has been far from dull – or wintry, for that matter – it’s still nice to have a few traditions that remind us that when winter comes, spring isn’t far behind.

My mom, for example, grows an amaryllis every January. In fact, this year she’s supplementing that giant bloom with another indoor bulb-growing venture, a lovely purple hyacinth.

Meanwhile at Hickory Knolls, we are cultivating new life of a different sort: a fresh batch of Chinese mantids.

Our latest foray into mantid-raising (we’ve had several, what, clutches? litters? over the years) began somewhat unexpectedly about three weeks ago. I wasn’t in the office at the time but received a text message from my amazingly tolerant co-workers that read, in part: “You’ve hatched! Baby praying mantis all over!!!!”

Yes, those four exclamation points were part of the text.

For added emphasis, I guess.

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto At any rate, when I arrived at work I found an aquarium sealed up tight with paper and packing tape, all the better to contain the 200 or so little buggers that were popping out of their egg case like puppies scrambling through an open gate.

Hundreds and hundreds of puppies, that is, furless and six-legged, but otherwise just as cute as any baby dog.

Their former home, an ootheca, or egg case, was one of several collected by our co-worker, restoration ecologist Jill Voegtle, a month or so ago. At first, it might seem odd that we’d want to remove the cases because, after all, they’ve been touted for decades as an effective means of biological insect control.

With these guys on duty, we in theory would have less need for pesticides. And fewer chemicals mean a healthier

environment, right?

The only problems are that: 1. Chinese mantids eat plenty of beneficial insects, too.

2. Large females also consume vertebrate prey, including hummingbirds and small snakes.

3. They’re not native and, as such, have the potential to outcompete our native arthropod predators such as spiders, assassin bugs and ambush bugs.

So, Chinese mantids aren’t welcome outside. But they make for a really compelling display inside.

Shortly after that first egg case hatched, we dismantled the packing tape-sealed aquarium and set up our 200 bundles of joy in a fine-meshed insect rearing container called a Praying Mantis Pagoda.

Since then, we’ve seen quite a bit of attrition, which at first might seem like our little habitat is failing. But such loss actually is a praying mantis rite of passage. In the wild as well as in captivity, stronger individuals consume their weaker brethren.

As of this writing we’re down to about a half dozen young mantids. Each survivor has staked out a territory within the enclosure and guards it carefully. Now that the little guys are a bit bigger, they’re less inclined to feed on each other, and more apt to pursue other prey, which we’ve provided in the form of flightless fruit flies – the mantid equivalent of puppy chow.

It’s been pretty awesome watching the little guys grow – and the fun doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. We have six more egg cases that have yet to hatch, and that’s assuming Jill doesn’t come across any more as she trims and prunes the vegetation outside the nature center.

You know what’s also neat? We don’t have a monopoly on mantids. You, too, can raise one, or some, as indoor pets. All you need are some egg cases – which you can collect freely, as they are not native – and a small container. Before we received our pagoda, we used to use a gallon-size plastic pretzel jar,

rubber-banding a square of screen in place of the lid. You can buy flightless fruit flies at pretty much any pet store, or you can raise your own flighted flies by letting some bananas age past their prime.

By the time the mantids need larger prey, our local insects should be starting to show themselves. Small grasshoppers are good options, as are cockroaches. In a pinch, you can also buy pet store crickets.

Chinese mantids aren’t quite as showy as amaryllis blooms, nor as fragrant as hyacinths. But there’s something very fulfilling about raising one to adulthood. Plus, they’re darn cute, like furless, six-legged puppies.

This time of year, Chinese mantid egg cases are pretty easy to find. Look for squarish forms – about the size, shape and color of a toasted marshmallow – attached to plant stems in gardens and natural areas.

from J.H. were connected to a custody dispute.

But prosecutor Andrew Whitfield disputed that there was a “grand conspiracy concocted by the victims” against Buhay.

“He must be the unluckiest person in the world,” Whitfield said of Buhay.

“They don’t know each other,” Whitfield said of the victims, pointing to enlarged computer photos of the boys when they were younger – both smiling and looking happy. “They described the same acts of oral sex.”

Whitfield said Buhay, a man without children, had a house and yard full of toys – from remote-controlled cars on tracks and ramps in the backyard to games inside his house.

“What a wonderful place this house was,” Whitfield said.

Whitfield said Buhay treated R.P. and J.H., two fatherless boys, like rock stars.

“They loved him,” Whitfield said.

“He was a foster father to R.P. and a father figure to J.H. … He used that to commit acts of sexual penetration on R.P. That is what the evidence shows.”

Riedy told the jury there was no physical evidence against Buhay.

Riedy said the state’s case was based

on the accusations of R.P., whom Riedy said was an unreliable and inconsistent witness.

“It was 90 to 100 times to 50 times to two times,” Riedy said of R.P.’s testimony of how many times Buhay forced oral or anal sex on him.

Riedy said that is why R.P.’s initial allegations were not followed through, because he was not believable.

“An allegation of sexual abuse of a child does not lower their [the state’s] burden of proof,” Riedy said. “Which time, which event, are you supposed to believe?”

But Assistant State’s Attorney Lori Schmidt rebutted Riedy’s characterizations, saying children lie about whether they have done their homework or walked the dog.

“They don’t lie about sexual abuse,” Schmidt said. Extended family and friends came to the trial to support Buhay, while Kane County CASA volunteers came to support R.P. J.H. was flanked by more than a dozen members of Bikers Against Child Abuse. The nonprofit supports victims of child abuse in court and other circumstances by its members’ physical presence, according to its website, www. bacaworld.org.

ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – A jury convicted a Sugar Grove man on three counts of felony predatory criminal sexual assault of a child March 17 after a five-day trial.

Noel F. Buhay, 49, was immediately taken into custody as Kane County Judge D.J. Tegeler revoked the bond he posted on the case and a second similar case, which is pending.

Tegeler set June 2 for sentencing.

Tegeler said Buhay has 30 days to file for a new trial. Buhay faces between six and 30 years in prison and fines of up to $25,000 on each count.

The jury found Buhay not guilty of indecent solicitation of a child.

As Buhay was handcuffed and taken to the Kane County jail, his extended family and supporters cried and hugged each other in the hall outside the courtroom. Inside the courtroom, the victims hugged their supporters and advocates.

Buhay was charged in 2013 with sexually assaulting a boy. In 2014, he was charged with sexually assaulting a second boy, court records show.

The court is treating them as com-

panion cases, but proceeded to trial on the 2014 case involving the first victim, identified as R.P. in court records.

Charges against Buhay in connection with the second victim are pend- Noel F. ing, court records show. Buhay R.P., now 23, was a 10-year-old foster child living with Buhay, first at a home in Aurora, then in Sugar Grove in 2004.

R.P. was removed from the home after he alleged Buhay abused him, but the case did not proceed until a second victim came forward.

The second victim, now 17, identified in court papers as J.H., reported the abuse in 2013. J.H. testified as a witness against Buhay.

Defense attorneys brought nieces, nephews and neighbors from the time Buhay lived in Aurora as witnesses.

They testified that he hosted children at his house – sometimes all summer – without harming them.

Some neighbors, now adults, testified that R.P. was known to be untruthful. In closing statements, Buhay attorney Michael Riedy characterized R.P.’s accusations as false and asserted those

OPINIONS BOARD If you don’t vote, then don’t complain EDITORIAL

I was enjoying a glistening, golden Penrose Brewing Co.’s pilsner at the fundraiser for the new Geneva library when someone asked, “Aren’t you a journalist?” This elicited a roar of laughter (a little TOO loud, if you ask me), including my own.

“No,” I replied. “I write essays to vent my frustrations, exhaust my opinions and occasionally tell the columnist’s version of a knock-knock joke.”

Truthfully, however, once in a while I’d like to be taken for an Edward R. Murrow or Mike Royko. If granted that soapbox, I’d yell at my fellow Geneva voters, “Wake up!” Why? Traditionally, about 86 percent of you snore through nonpresidential local elections. But the one on April 4 is different.

See, you can help choose your ward’s alderman. With every Geneva City Council seat up for grabs, you have a chair at the table and a chip to bet.

Not throwing your informed vote into the pot means you automatically lose the hand, avoid your role of responsible citizen, and you forfeit the right to complain about what the elected do in office.

One of the most intriguing contests, for First Ward alderman, includes a person who will represent the downtown historic district. Geneva-born, investment counselor and Stockholm’s tavern owner Mike Olesen is challenging incumbent alderman, technology consultant and Historic Preservation Commission member Mike Bruno.

Both have long been intimately connected with Geneva.

Differences enter the dialogue when it comes to how much authority the Historic Preservation Commission should have. “Community survey after community survey has shown that residents say historic preservation is what defines us as a community and that our historic downtown is our most treasured asset,” a Bruno

RIVER TOWN CHRONICLES Rick Holinger candidate profile declares.

“Preservation techniques can yield significant savings for homeowners. The myth of onerous burdens on homeowners is generally forwarded by those unfamiliar with the process.”

Olesen, a historic homeowner, is all too intimate with how the commission operates, and insists that myth is a reality.

He wants to give homeowners more voice in the process. “We need reasonable historic preservation,” he contends. “Because there is significant difference in the quality of the district’s homes, they should not be kept to the same standard. Those not historically and architecturally significant should be allowed to use modern materials still in keeping with the district’s overall integrity.”

But wait, there’s more! In the mayor’s race, four-term incumbent Mayor Kevin Burns is running on his record of “balanced budgets, a high bond rating, a broadened tax base … and a ‘spirit of collaboration.’”

Current Alderman Tom Simonian wants to pop that balloon, suggesting Burns’ actions in office are contrary to “the best interest of … taxpayers, citizens, developers and business owners” because he has “created a culture where the staff is running the show” instead of Geneva’s citizens.

Sounds like what it comes down to, in these contests at least, is whether you approve of the status quo, or question the machinations of those in authority.

Of course, you might just shrug, think, “Who cares?” and snore the day away. Your loss.

No, wait. OUR loss.

LETTERS Kevin Burns helps make Geneva special

To the editor: When I meet people and they ask me where I live, I answer Geneva, rarely thinking too much of it. Their response brings me back to reality every time. “Geneva, I love Geneva.

All those shops, the beautiful homes, Swedish Days, the Fox River” and on and on.

Geneva really is one of those special places to live, work and to raise a family, and Mayor Kevin Burns has been an important part of it.

Since moving to Geneva in 2003, I have yet to experience anything negative with our city’s services and employees.

They have been helpful with my home-remodeling projects, always providing me with important and useful information.

Without a strong mayor and his administration supporting our city staff, I feel that many

of my past experiences would have not been as positive.

I understand that the grass is always greener on the other side, and that there is always room for discussion and debate when it comes to city

government. However, what Tom Simonian wants for our city does not seem, to me, to have my or my neighbors’ best intentions at heart.

Tom Simonian provides great talking points that seek to grab your attention. “Common sense” in government is great, but is it really common sense to single out Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital, our local access to health care, implying they don’t pay their fair share when they do so much for our community, including sponsoring Swedish Days?

Voting for Tom Simonian is a choice between being pennywise and pound foolish, and I have a distinct feeling from his campaign rhetoric that Mr. Simonian is running for himself rather than for our community.

To the editor: I read somewhere that the future belongs to those who change it.

That’s why I’m supporting Tom Simonian for mayor of Geneva. Tom sees a need for change to bring fairness and common sense to government. I support him in this effort and look forward to being part of that change.

You may know that Tom currently serves as Fifth Ward alderman.

But did you know that he is also the founder and CEO of two successful companies and two franchises, holds a degree in finance, and has a very strong financial background? Tom is uniquely qualified to lead Geneva at a time when the budget is growing and resources are shrinking.

During his tenure as alderman, Tom has served the citizens of the Fifth Ward and Geneva well.

He has always placed the citizens first and foremost. We need Tom’s passion and leadership to serve as mayor of our great city. It is time for change, time to bring fairness and common sense to government.

As someone who has served on the council alongside Tom, I’ve had the opportunity firsthand to work with him and to see him in action. He has always risen to the challenge. And he will also rise to the challenges of serving as our mayor. He has my vote, and I urge you to give him your vote as well.

Tom Simonian will bring needed change

Training the new girl at work Training people at work can be hard as I have just found out today. I have been working my job at a retirement home for a year and a half now. I work in a specific dining room’s kitchen during meals with about 35 residents. I serve food, wash dishes and clean up after the residents eat their meals. Doing the job now is effortless; I can do the routine half asleep and still get the work done.

Training someone new is an entirely different story.

Though I work Monday through Thursday every week at my job, I rarely train new employees because of how my supervisor does the scheduling.

I always want to train new workers in my assigned dining room, but it seems that it rarely happens. I always end up working with my new co-workers after a few days or a week after they get off their training.

BEFORE THE DIPLOMA Denise Cartina Today was my chance, though! It was the day that I finally got to teach a new co-worker everything that I know. I cannot even remember the last time I trained someone at work. It was several months ago. While I was thrilled by this, I quickly remembered that training people isn’t as easy as it may seem. Because I’ve worked there so long, I sort of just assume that everyone knows everything that I know. It was a bit tough to put myself in the shoes of the new employee since I’m now the third-longest employee who’s worked there. While training her, I had to think about everything that may be going on in her mind and how lost she may be because I was

telling her so much information in such a short amount of time.

I can relate to my new co-worker because I was once this girl. The feeling of being overwhelmed with anxiety and panic while working were all common to me when I first began training. In the kitchen that I work in, it’s very fast-paced at times, and it can be quite tiresome if the person that I am working with does not exactly know what they are doing. Going into the kitchen and having to tell the new girl that the ice machine is in the corner and that the ice scooper is in the lower cabinet to the right is a lot to say when you must talk like that for every second that you’re on the clock.

I had to repeat myself and say things like, “The plates are right behind you,” “Soup bowls are in the upper cabinet,” “Make sure to wash

your hands constantly,” and, “Always wear gloves when serving food.” Those are just a few of the countless amount of commands that I had to give. While it was fine, I just need to be patient with the new employees who are coming in to learn the job that I have been doing for so long.

All they want is a friend and to properly learn the job, and I am happy to help whomever I am training.

Who knows, one day the girl that I trained today may “become” me.

Crisp plays at The House Pub in St. Charles, where the band has planned a March 25 album release party.

Album release party to star Crisp at House Pub

By RENEE TOMELL

If you go

rtomell@shawmedia.com The House Pub in St. Charles has been a stage home to the band Crisp, which will return to the venue to celebrate its debut album with a performance March 25. Three Elburn natives are at the core of the progressive funk group, including Kevin McMahon and brothers Joel and Stewart Ream, sons of the owners of Ream’s Meat Market in Elburn.

In speaking with reporter Renee Tomell, bandleader McMahon said he came back to the western suburbs to help found the band after a stint as an offshore commercial diver in New Orleans, and working at a Louisiana brewery.

“I had no creative outlet [in diving] and never realized how much I needed that in my life,” McMahon said about the impetus to return to musical performance.

Now, his day job lets him be creative as brewmaster for Gino’s East in Chicago, but his other passion remains music.

He writes much of the band’s original material inspired by elements of jazz, funk and rock. The following is an edited version of their conversation.

Renee Tomell: Tell us about the album.

■ WHAT: Crisp album release party ■ WHEN: 10 p.m. March 25 ■ WHERE: The House Pub, 16 S. River-

side Drive, St. Charles Kevin McMahon: We’re really excited about the show and the release of the record – called ‘How Many People Can You Bring?’ Crisp has been together in various forms for three and a half years, [and] I wanted to have a documentation of everybody’s hard work.

We cut the record at IV Lab Studios in Chicago. The engineer, Chris Harden, is Grammy nominated. The majority of the album is instrumental. [There are] nine tracks, two of which have vocals.

We’re all ready to kind of see what kind of legs this thing has. Our music is not the most mainstream stuff. I just released a nine-minute single.

Tomell: What instruments do the band members play?

McMahon: Myself on bass and vocals; Joel Ream on guitar and vocals; Stewart Ream on lead vocals and keyboards; Ian Letts, who grew up in West Chicago, and Andy Schlinder on saxophones;

■ COST: $5 cover ■ INFO: crispband.com or thehousepub.com Constantine Alexander on trumpet; and Greg Essig on drums. On the album, we [also] have Jerry Williams [on horn]. A lot of these guys tour regularly with other bands [and most] have degrees – performance or educational – in music. I’m fortunate for the amount of talent and solid character these guys possess. They all bring something extremely unique to the band.

Tomell: Will guest artists appear at your album release party?

McMahon: Matt Keen and Drew Doepke of Rebel Soul Revival will be opening the special evening for us as a duo. They are very dear friends [that I] and Joel Ream have been playing music with for over a decade. [And I’ve performed] with Joel for 15 years on and off. He and I had a band when we were kids at Kaneland High School.

Tomell: Do you perform music besides your original tunes?

McMahon: We all have this ridiculous little soft spot for ‘80s music. If we do covers, [it could be] Huey Lewis and The News [or] we drop a Styx tune or Steely Dan tune out of nowhere. It’s a lot of fun to keep people on their toes.

Tomell: Are you working on other art-related projects?

McMahon: I host a podcast called “Indecent Exposure.” The whole focus is musicians having to really hustle and struggle to get a fair shake in Chicago.

I wanted to showcase the people I had a lot of admiration and respect for – from country artists to … jazz. I bring a growler of beer from Gino’s. I chat with the artists, and there’s no music.

[Shows range] from guitarist Fareed Haque to the owner of Lakland Basses, a small boutique company in Chicago.

The podcast is on iTunes, SoundCloud and the Podcast Addict app on Android.

Tomell: Will there be extra touches for the release party?

McMahon: We’ll be doing the album in its entirety, and a couple extra tunes and a new original we’ll debut.

We’ll have physical copies of the album for sale and T-shirts.

Soups with simple ingredients are perfect for experimenting More Content Now

F

all is here and it’s the perfect time for a pot of tasty soup. The question now is which one will I make first.

A couple of years ago, while experimenting with new soup ideas, I made a soup combining cauliflower and broccoli. I actually used a package of frozen California-style vegetables, which also included carrots. In order to blend the flavors, I opted to finely chop the vegetables in the food processor. The gouda cheese gives this soup a wonderful flavor, but you can substitute another cheese if desired.

Another great soup is made with three cheeses and chicken. Although this new creation is called three-cheese white chili, it is more like a soup than a chili. The addition of cumin and cayenne pepper gives it the chili flavor.

If you enjoy experimenting in the kitchen,

soups are a good place to start. These two were made of ingredients I found in the pantry, freezer and refrigerator. You could take these soups as a basic recipes and change them with ingredients you have on hand.

I like hush puppies with both of these soups.

Perhaps this is because I like a crusty fried bread. I can’t help but smile when I think of what my late assistant, Mauna, said about my love of hush puppies. She said you always could tell which plate was mine because of the naked hush puppies on it. I usually eat the crust and leave the rest.

If you don’t want to make hush puppies, Southern cornbread is also good with these soups.

Prudence Hilburn of Piedmont has won more than 30 national cooking awards and written several cookbooks, including, “Simply Southern and More.” Write her at prudencehilburn@aol.com or visit www.prudencehilburn.com.

Process by pulsing until the vegetables are chopped into small pieces (not puréed). Spoon into soup pot and add the chicken broth. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium. Cook for about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the ranch dressing mix and half and half. Mix well and cook over medium heat for another 5 minutes. Stir in cheese until melted.

Worth the wait Adopting a child from foster care wasn’t the plan, until it was

By TARA MONTGOMERY The Washington Post

Photo provided by Dae Brown

On Dec. 20, 3-year-old Michael celebrates his adoption.

There were plans in motion to reunite Michael with his biological mother, and I was proud of being able to give him relief until that happened.

The next 22 months went fast.

Michael’s presence brightened our lives as much as we hoped to brighten his life through fostering.

His laugh. His smile. His energy. It became a part of our home’s ecosystem. It was an instant connection.

Now, let’s be clear: Our foster experience wasn’t a cakewalk. Michael suffered from asthma attacks for which we had to take him to the doctor – more than a few times. We had to carry around his inhalers and learn how to use EpiPens. We visited doctors, emergency rooms and specialists 26 times in the first year. He was a sick little guy.

I wasn’t the first foster mother (and won’t be the last) to look into the mirror after an all-nighter with my new child and say to myself, “I don’t know what I’m getting myself into.” But, as often happens, overcoming these bumps in the road has made our family stronger.

Michael developed an incredibly special bond with my youngest daughter while dealing with these issues. Whenever he has a particularly bad

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

Eight hundred thirty-two days.

Worth the wait.

My name is Tara Montgomery. I’m a single mother and an administrative secretary at a high school in Arizona – and, on Dec. 20, 2016, I officially adopted my 3-year-old son, Michael.

My first adopted child.

My daughter, who wanted to savor the moment, snapped a photograph of Michael, one victorious fist raised in the air, another hand holding a chalkboard with a few words written in marker: “Some things are worth the wait,” the sign read. “After 832 days in foster care, today I’m adopted.”

She posted the photograph on Twitter. More than 143,000 likes and 57,000 retweets later, my new son’s adoption – and the joy on his face at finally joining his forever family – went viral.

Michael first entered our lives as a foster child on Feb. 14, 2015. My decision to become a foster mother wasn’t easy (or quick). I never expected to become one. My daughters’ dad passed away in 2001, and I was a single mother raising three young daughters in a tumultuous economy.

But a few colleagues approached me: Are you willing to use your experience and speak with teenagers who have lost a parent? I said yes. I talked to them. I counseled them. As time went on, though, I began noticing more and more students who didn’t have anyone. My heart felt for these children and their circumstances. It’s not their fault – and it’s sad to see anyone in a situation where they’re moving through life without guidance from someone who loves them.

One day, after being approached by another colleague at the school where I work, my daughters and I made the choice. We were going to do what we could with what we had to make a difference to children who had nothing. I became a foster mother – and my daughters became foster sisters.

We welcomed three children into our family, one at a time, acknowledging each welcome would be temporary: a short-term relief for these kiddos whose immediate futures were unclear.

In early 2015, I received a phone call from the Arizona Department of Child Safety, which handles foster care in our state. “We need to move a little boy to a new home,” said the voice on the other end of the line. “Are you interested?”

Yes. We personally picked him up from the parking lot of a mall. Our fourth foster child, and his third foster home.

That Valentine’s Day in 2015, Michael joined our family in what we all assumed would be a temporary living situation in this 18-month-old boy’s transition to a more permanent home.

And that’s when everything changed.

I wasn’t looking to adopt a new child. I have three daughters to care for – and a baby granddaughter.

All we set out to do was to make sure kids without parents didn’t have to worry, if only for a short period of time, about what would happen to them.

asthma attack, the only person he wants to sleep next to is her. He’s comforted by her presence, and she’s comforted by being “that person” in his life.

They adore each other in a way that may not have happened otherwise – at least not as quickly.

From changing his diaper, putting on his shoes, or simply pouring him a drink at dinner and snuggling with him at night, as Michael grew, my daughters grew, too.

•••••• Michael loves trucks and trains. He loves running on the sand at the beach, seeing the waves come in and waving at the seals as they lie on the wet rocks. Only 3 years old, he calls the beach his “happy place.”

He revels in leaving surprise selfies on our cellphones. He often wakes in the morning to tell me, “Mom, I so happy.” He will run into the girls’ rooms and ask them, “Dae, T – Are you so happy?” (We are all so very happy.)

These are only a few of the things I’ve learned about Michael since picking him up that day in early February. These small, unique details you learn about children – they make everything worth it. He went from “a foster child” to “my foster child” in the blink of an eye.

And that’s why, when the next phone call came – informing us the ongoing efforts to reunite Michael with his biological mother had fallen through – it didn’t take long for my daughters and me to decide.

Everything had seamlessly clicked into place from the beginning: This little boy came to us on Valentine’s Day. He came to us on Arizona’s birthday. He has the same last name as my biological daughters. He looks like them. He has our sense of humor. He made our family stronger.

And, more than that, we never wanted him to wonder again where he might end up next. So, on Dec. 20, 2016, we adopted Michael – and he became a permanent part of our family.

He woke up a few days later on Christmas morning to a tree with presents under it. He flung open the wrapping paper to find Thomas the Tank Engine trains and a new bicycle, all while being surrounded by new, permanent family members for the first time – people who loved him and cared for him and would continue to do so forever.

The process may have been easier for us than for others, because Arizona has been working to make foster care and adoption an easier choice and to empower parents to welcome children in need into their families. According to the numbers, more children are leaving state care here than entering it for the first time in seven years – and more than 3,600 children in Arizona were adopted in fiscal 2016.

I can’t promise every step of the way will be easy or that you won’t wonder whether it’s worth the upcoming speed bump in the road. What I can promise is this: Whatever you face on your route to adoption, the smile on your child’s face will be worth it.

It took me 42 years to realize what it feels like to adopt a child, this beautiful little boy, into my life.

More than 15,000 days.

Worth the wait.

Walk away or hang up the phone Dr. Wallace: What is the best way to get rid of a bad reputation that has no merit whatsoever? It all started because a big-mouth football player told a bunch of lies in the locker room. I dated this guy and didn’t even let him kiss me, but he told his teammates that we had sex. Already I’ve had six players call me for dates. All this has really caused me to be depressed.

All my close friends know these vicious rumors are false. Please tell me what to do. I don’t have anyone else to turn to. I’m really a sweet and very conservative girl. –

Depressed, Pittsburgh, Penn.

Depressed: There are some

amazing jerks out there, and the big mouth you dated is close to the top of the list. Some guys are so insecure they have to lie and trash another person’s reputation just to boost their standing with their buddies.

Fortunately, most teens are very good judges of character. The rumor he started will die a natural death soon enough. Do the best you can to ignore the rumors and continue being yourself. When you can’t ignore them - when one of his teammates pesters you for a date -- calmly say, “No, thank you,” and then walk away, or hang up the phone.

Dr. Wallace: I’m writing in response to the letter from Sally, in San Diego who asked you if she should continue dating a guy even though she couldn’t see herself marrying him. Her friend told her not to date him if she couldn’t see a future with him, but you advised her to continue the relationship. I disagree with your advice. I believe that nobody should waste their time or emotions with a person they’re dating if they have no intention of marrying that person. The whole reason for dating others is to find the person you will one day marry.

Friend with benefits a big disappointment Dear Abby:

DEAR ABBY I have known this guy “Noah” Jeanne for six years.

Phillips We’re mostly just friends with benefits, but I’ve always had deeper feelings for him. I always wanted to see where things could go between us, so I mentioned it to him. He told me that if he didn’t already have a girlfriend, he would have dated me. So when they broke up, I waited patiently. I continued being a good friend to Noah, giving him advice and putting my own feelings off to the side. Then just when I felt us getting to another level in our relationship, he told me he had another girlfriend and we needed to stop. I would never sleep with a guy who is with someone else. I’m not that type of girl.

What should I do? I’m confused and hurt at the same time. Should I bring up my feelings again? Just let him go? Or should I keep him in my life, but in a friend-only way? – Jumbled

Emotions Dear Jumbled: I don’t blame you for feeling

confused. When someone’s words and actions don’t match, something is wrong. If Noah had been honest, you would have had your chance with him. I vote for letting him go because you want more than he’s apparently able to give. If you do, it may hurt for a while, but it will make it easier for you to find someone who can love you back.

Dear Abby: We recently lost one of our cherished pets, our oldest cat, Mandy. We never had children, so our pets ARE our children. I get that people who have never had pets don’t understand the joy and unconditional love they can bring. But I don’t understand why people we thought were close to us haven’t acknowledged our loss in any way. Some of them have – or had – pets at one time. A few did send cards or emails, and they were so appreciated. Their kindness will never be forgotten. Mandy wasn’t sickly. She just stopped eating one day. When we took her to the vet a few days after trying everything we could think of, the diagnosis was kidney cancer. A couple of days later, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to put her to sleep. My question is, am I expecting too much of people? After all, you wouldn’t ignore the death of a human child. I’m not only disappointed but resentful that these so-called friends and family don’t seem to care. I suppose to some Mandy was “just a cat.” But to us, she was our beloved furry child and we are devastated. Please inform people that a kind word or short note would mean the world to people like us who are suffering real grief. – Deeply Grieving in Illinois Dear Deeply Grieving: Please let me offer my condolences for the loss of Mandy. I know from personal experience what you are going through, and it is very painful. That’s why I’m reminding readers that when they hear of someone losing a beloved pet, the kindest thing one can do is to offer sympathy with a phone call, an email or a card. Believe me, the effort WILL be appreciated and never forgotten.

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

ASK THE DOCTORS / ELIZABETH KO AND EVE GLAZIER has shrunk dramatically. Patients can no longer communicate, are unable to recognize faces, even of family members and loved ones, and are unable to care for themselves.

Patients with advanced-stage Alzheimer’s need 24-hour supervision and help with personal hygiene, dressing and eating.

Changes in brain function make it increasingly difficult for them to move about, sit up and even swallow. This leads to complications such as bedsores, skin infections, blood clots and sepsis. Injuries from falls are common. Difficulty in swallowing makes eating and drinking an ongoing challenge, and can lead to weight loss, malnutrition and dehydration.

The most common cause of death among Alzheimer’s patients is aspiration pneumonia. This happens when, due to difficulty in swallowing caused by the disease, an individual inadvertently inhales food particles, liquid or even gastric fluids. Because our mouths and throats contain numerous bacteria, these are carried deep into the lungs. There they multiply and grow, which leads to pneumonia. Due to the impaired immune systems of Alzheimer’s patients, pneumonia is often fatal.

It’s important to remember that Alzheimer’s patients are often elderly and thus may have a range of medical conditions associated with advancing age. These include stroke, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and stroke, any of which can cause death, whether or not Alzheimer’s is present.

Dear Doctor: I understand that Alzheimer’s disease causes memory loss and leads to dementia. But when someone has Alzheimer’s, what is the actual cause of death?

Dear Reader: Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive disease of the brain in which dementia is the most noticeable of numerous symptoms. Changes within the tissues of the brain slowly destroy vital connections between different regions of the brain, and between the brain and the body. The result is that Alzheimer’s disease is the fifth-leading cause of death among adults over 65, and is the sixth-leading cause of death for all adults nationwide.

The disease was first identified in 1906

by Dr. Alois Alzheimer, who connected a patient’s dementia to certain physical abnormalities he found when he examined her brain after her death. But the human brain is so intricate and Alzheimer’s itself is so complex that more than a century later, scientists are still working to discover both the cause of, and a cure for, the disease.

Although each case of Alzheimer’s is different, researchers have identified three general stages of the disease. In the first stage, symptoms of cognitive impairment, such as memory loss or confusion, have either not yet appeared or are quite mild.

However, significant changes are taking place within the brain, including nerve death, tissue loss and the buildup of abnormal clumps and tangles of protein.

These changes lead to the second stage of the disease, during which symptoms become more pronounced. Patients begin to experience significant memory loss, confusion, impaired reasoning, poor spatial skills and a loss of language. By the final stage of Alzheimer’s, the brain

WRESTLER OF THE YEAR

EYES ON THE PRIZE Nate Jimenez sets sights on state crown in 2018

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com AURORA – If there is a wrestling offseason, Nate Jimenez doesn’t know about it.

He wouldn’t want to know about it anyway.

After all, the Marmion junior loves being on the mat and he relishes putting in the hard work in the offseason that is necessary to achieve great results during the season.

“I’m training and lifting and working on things I need to fix,” said Jimenez, the state runner-up at 160 pounds in Class 3A in 2017. “There’s still going to be some tournaments leading up to Fargo.”

After a full summer of wrestling leading into Marmion’s typically daunting schedule this past season, the last thing Jimenez, the Kane County Chronicle Wrestler of the Year, had in mind was resting.

He has April and May tournaments

All-area team n BATAVIA: Nick Benson, Joe Posledni,

Seth Winkle n BURLINGTON CENTRAL: Erik Hansen,

Austin Macias, Nick Termini n GENEVA: Kevin Huck, Nick Sowers n KANELAND: Colin Gussman, Austin

Kedzie, Nathan Orosco, Hayden Patterson, Riley Vanik n MARMION: Anthony Cheloni, Trevor Chumbley, Peter Ferraro, Brad Gross, Michael Jaffe, Nate Jimenez, Jake Polka n ST. CHARLES EAST: Ben Anderson, Justin Benjamin, Niko Derain, Justin Hull, Joe Ruffino n ST. CHARLES NORTH: Kolbe O’Brien n ST. FRANCIS: Daniel Skold

lined up in advance of the USA Wrestling National Championships in Fargo, N.D., in July. But it wasn’t long after Marmion’s season ended in a Class 3A team dual state quarterfinal that Jimenez started working toward the ultimate goal of a state championship with the Cadets in 2018.

After finishing third at 160 in 2016 and second this past season, earning the gold medal at the state meet as a senior next season is first and foremost on his mind. Especially now that he came up just short, falling 3-2 in the state title bout this year.

“Going into the year I definitely wanted to get to the top of the podium. I worked my tail off all offseason and all summer,” Jimenez said. “I started off strong and ended up winning a couple tournaments and beat a couple of the top-ranked guys.

“Overall I’m happy with the way I wrestled this season, but I still wanted more.”

Jimenez has his eyes on the prize and has a good idea of what he has to do to reach the summit.

He’s not the only one working toward the goal of a state title. Wrestling is a family affair for the Jimenez clan.

His father, Walt Jimenez, wrestled in high school and instilled a love of the sport in Nate Jimenez and older brothers Nico and Johnny, who were both state champs for Marmion.

During Nate’s matches, Walt watches intently from the side of the mat.

Nico, who wrestled at Illinois, attend-

ed the Cheesehead invite in Wisconsin this season and is frequently in attendance. Johnny, currently wrestling for Wisconsin, makes the trip down from Madison when his schedule allows to watch Nate in action.

“It’s amazing how much they support me,” Nate Jimenez said.

Jimenez said his confidence on the mat was much higher this season than in seasons past.

His father’s confidence in his son’s abilities never wavered.

“My dad always says I have to be confident, but I didn’t always feel it,” Jimenez said. “Once I would wrestle a good kid and win he would say, ‘Are you confident now?’”

Nate Jimenez already has had a successful high school career by almost any measure. A pair of all-state medals is something few prep wrestlers ever accomplish. He is proud and happy to have those accolades on his résumé, but when his senior season arrives he will have only one thing on his mind.

“My proudest accomplishment is yet to come,” he said. “I’m hungry for that state championship. I have a lot of good accomplishments already, but the best one is yet to come.”

Spoonflower.com offers a preview feature that allows you to see what the wallpaper design would look like in a furnished room. Katherine Salant designed the green alligator wallpaper shown here, using a drawing by her daughter Shelley.

One-of-a-kind home furnishings for one and all

By KATHERINE SALANT Special to The Washington Post Want to have a custom floor, wallpaper or curtain design in your house that’s unique and perfectly suited to your taste? Even if your budget for this is minuscule?

Digital printing, the same technology that the inkjet printer in your home office uses, is making this possible.

It is revolutionizing the textile, tile and wallpaper industries, and in the process opening up the world of custom design to anyone – you can now design these products yourself.

It’s no longer hugely expensive and you likely have the skill set required to design original work.

A deep knowledge of manufacturing techniques, dyes, fabrics, fibers, papers, glazes and inks – expertise that generally takes a professional designer years to acquire – is no longer a prerequisite. You only need to know how to use a personal computer and how

to upload your own original artwork or photographs onto a manufacturer’s website. To customize a manufacturer’s online offering, you just manipulate what appears on your computer screen. You communicate directly with the manufacturer, which fulfills the order within a few days or weeks.

Another plus with digital printing for home interior products: There is no minimum order required. You can order just enough fabric for drapes for one window, wallpaper for one wall, floor tiles for a front entry or material in even smaller quantities.

How can a modified version of the humble inkjet printer do all this?

Digital printing has transformed the traditional production process.

With printed fabric, for example, you can replace a large manufacturing plant and multiple pieces of equipment with one very large digital inkjet printer about the size of an 8-foot cube in an area about the size of a three-car garage.

The Minted Home section of Minted.com offers nearly 600 fabric designs, and users can see previews of draperies from several vantage points. the repeat. By the time I had changed all 11 colors and the repeat of “Batik Vibration,” the result bore so little resemblance to B.B. Kolanz’s original design that I considered it a “Salant original.”

Spoonflower does not offer a customization option for the more than 350,000 fabric and wallpaper patterns on its site, but it will forward a request to change the color in a particular pattern to the designer, who usually will do this at no charge.

I found only one downside here.

These three websites offer plenty of online tutorials and blogs. And Spoonflower has published the extremely helpful “The Spoonflower Handbook” (2015, Stewart, Tabori & Chang, $27.50), but there is no option for connecting with a real person if you get stuck.

By contrast, the two tile websites that I explored, imagesintile.com, based in Joplin, Mo., and MIPA’s customcoloursystem.it in Modena, Italy, are very accessible to their customers, perhaps because they offer unique services that cannot be easily handled online.

MIPA’s tiles are still handmade, using an intaglio technique developed more than a century ago. But you select the tile pattern and colors at MIPA’s site, choosing among five floor patterns, 80 individual tile patterns, and 29 traditional and contemporary colors. As you choose each color for an individual tile, the site shows how an entire floor in that pattern and those

colors would look. The immediate feedback was quite helpful as I strove to create a balanced look without one color dominating all the others.

Although common in Europe, MIPA’s terrazzo tiles will be new for most Americans. They’re made with tiny chips of marble and other stones that give the smooth finished surface an unusual textured look.

I “designed” two tile patterns in different color groups, which MIPA produced and sent to me as samples.

Compared with the website, the colors are significantly lighter and more muted and the textured look more pronounced. They would be a great floor finish for any wet area in a house, but I would get at least one tile sample before selecting the other colors for the space where you intend to use them.

Unlike all the other websites, which have large online catalogs, imagesintile.com specializes in creating one-of-a-kind tile murals, using images that its customers upload. Of all the websites that I tried, theirs was the easiest to use because all you do is upload your photograph or artwork, and the site handles the rest. The overall size of the mural, which can be as small as 12 by 18 inches or as large as the side of a building, is determined by the resolution of the images you submit. The size of individual tiles in your mural can be as small as 1 by 1 inch or as large as 24 by 24 inches, depending on the resolution of your image and your preferences.

To guide your decisions, imagesin-

tile.com will send you several preview shots to show what the tile mural will look like. The previews include your image with a grid overlay so that you can see where the grout lines will fall and a detail of the mural at full size so you judge the quality of your hugely enlarged image for yourself.

To see what imagesintile.com can do, I sent them two vacation photographs. My “Hawaiian shoreline,” taken with an iPhone 5S, could be as large as 24 by 30 inches, but for the photo to look right at that size and not appear out of focus, the firm used software to soften the image so that it looks like a painting (my husband really liked it).

My “Swiss mountain stream,” taken with a much more sophisticated digital camera, could be as large as 4 by 6 feet, and even at that size the image was crisp and sharp. (The smaller mural was $250; the larger was $1,200.)

Whitehillenterprises.com, headed

by Paul Whitehill, a former partner in Images in Tile and also based in Joplin, offers a similar service.

How would I sum up my experience with the online digital decorating world?

Most people associate online purchases with speed and immediacy – order it now and get it in three days.

But in this case you need to take it slow and get samples before committing yourself to a larger quantity. The colors on the actual item may vary from what you see on your screen.

With textiles, the color also can be affected by the fabric you select.

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

The printing process itself has been streamlined. You no longer need a separate run for each color, which made conventionally printed multicolored fabrics costlier; instead, all the colors can be printed at the same time. Because the printer calibrates the colors before the printing process begins, the manufacturer does not have to expend quantities of yardage just to get each color calibrated correctly.

How difficult is it to take advantage of these online opportunities?

When I tried my hand at “digital decorating,” I quickly realized that it would take some time to learn my way around, and the results would not be featured in a home decor magazine. But they would be imbued with something that no professional could ever offer: They would be something I created.

I designed fabric (for $17.50 to $38 a yard) and wallpaper on spoonflower.com, the only website I found that offers both of these options. It was not hard to create a simple, handdrawn motif that was pleasing to the eyes and upload it to the site. The really hard part was creating a motif that is equally pleasing as it repeats across a wall or on a sofa, without cutting off heads in the wrong place or creating some other jarring visual.

My beginner mistakes were immediately apparent because the site shows how a proposed wallpaper pattern ($5 to $7.50 per lineal foot) would look in a room with furniture or, on its sister website, roostery.com, how a fabric pattern would look on a pillow or as a place mat. A novice can eventually figure out how to make it all work, but for most people the easier path, by far, will be to customize a design that is already offered.

If you’re more comfortable with fewer choices, minted.com (for $32 to $34 a yard) offers a limited menu. For most of the nearly 600 fabric designs featured on the MintedHome section, you may change only one color (usually the background), and the choices are usually limited to four or five. The site provides electronic previews for each color option and each application, including fabric-covered lampshades, throw pillows, table linens, drapes and yardage. The preview of drapery as seen from across a room is especially informative, as many patterns look quite different when viewed from afar.

For the more adventurous, weaveup.com (for $17.99 to $39.99) offers nearly unlimited customization options for its 10,000 fabric designs.

Not only can you change as many as 12 colors in the same pattern, but each color also can be any one of more than 1,600 that you select from a color wheel that appears on the screen with the pattern to be customized. You can also increase or decrease the size of

Designer and artist Dana Gibson’s weekend river house on Virginia’s Northern Neck is a 1948 cottage built of World War II Navy surplus materials, including Jeep crates.

A river cottage holds true to its 1948 roots

By JURA KONCIUS The Washington Post Swirling snowflakes and snow-covered marshes greeted Dana Gibson the first time she and her family drove to the 1948 cottage that would become their Rappahannock River weekend place.

“It reminded me of that scene in ‘Doctor Zhivago’ when they come upon the abandoned country house frozen in time and push the door open,” Gibson said.

It was January 2014. Gibson, husband Mark Longenderfer and their two sons pushed open the front door the real estate agent said would be unlocked. Inside, the one-story house was a time capsule of vintage cottage living: whitewashed walls, heart-ofpine floors, board-and-batten walls. It was said to have been built of World War II Navy surplus materials, including Jeep crates. The house had not been lived in for several years; some

old wicker with faded chintz cushions, iron beds and a few wobbly tables had been left behind. An old-fashioned but airy kitchen offered views of the water.

“We all liked it right away,” said Longenderfer, 53, a general contractor.

“It was an easy, casual, come-in-andthrow-your-stuff-down kind of place.”

They bought the 1,100-square-foot house, less than two hours away from their Richmond home, as a family retreat. Now Gibson, Longenderfer and sons Jack, 18, and DeWolf, 16, come to their Northern Neck house in all seasons. In the fall, that means enjoying the sound of geese flying overhead as they take Paco, their beagle, for a walk.

“We enjoy the simple things here: good food, a breeze, a sunset,” said Gibson, 52, who designs home accessories, fabrics and wallpapers. “While some people would have knocked the place down and started over, keeping what’s old is important to me. I wanted

to keep this place authentic. Our decor is rustic and casual, with a bit of glamping style.” That means baggy white slipcovers, rush carpeting and painted chests mixed with a few fancy curtains and glitzy chandeliers. Fishing poles are mounted to the rafters of the enclosed porch, where the family sometimes has dinner by the light of a silver candelabra.

The house has a breezy, open plan.

There are three small bedrooms and a side sleeping porch. There’s a nice living-dining room, and the front porch, which has a stunning water view, has several ceiling fans and cozy spaces to relax.

Gibson seems to have inherited a talent for art and design. Her mother is a painter. Her great-grandfather was Charles Dana Gibson, a 19th-century illustrator and artist and creator of the elegant “Gibson Girl,” modeled after his wife, Irene Langhorne Gibson. Nancy Lancaster, Dana Gibson’s great-aunt and an owner of the London decorating firm Colefax and Fowler, was one of the most celebrated design figures of the past century, known for her classic English country house style of floral chintz fabrics, old portraits and painted furniture.

Gibson was always attracted to art and design and began her business in the 1990s with a line of hand-sculpted porcelains that were sold at shops such as Neiman Marcus and Henri Bendel. She eventually expanded to other home accessories such as trays, lamps and tole wastebaskets, often in bold patterns and colors. Today she designs fabrics and wallcoverings for Stroheim, furniture for Miles Talbott, and napkins and notecards for Caspari.

In furnishing her rural cottage, Gibson must have channeled Lancaster, who was known for making country houses livable. Although there is a casualness about it all, with thrift shop paintings leaning against the wall and boho throws from World Market tossed about, there are also touches of glamour. She kept the whitewashed walls and chose upholstery and curtains in neutral shades of brown, gray and green.

The couple didn’t do much to the structure of the house. Longenderfer and his crew insulated the living room ceiling and raised the kitchen ceiling. They took out the claw-foot tub from one of the bathrooms and replaced it with a tiled shower. They left the country kitchen pretty much as is, adding a retro Smeg fridge, open shelving and an old green table.

The bedrooms are furnished simply, with comfortable beds, homey quilts, botanical prints and old mirrors. One bedroom has a chunky,

white four-poster bed Gibson found on Craigslist for $125. In another, a decoupage lamp she received as a gift was topped by a custom shade sewn from a cowhide she picked up at a flea market. Curtains are made of one of her floral fabrics, and she’s papered a few walls in her wallcoverings.

She’s known for jewel tones in her work, and you’ll see them around in small doses. There are piles of iridescent silk pillows on the daybed in the sleeping porch. The dining chairs, which came with the house, have seat covers upholstered in five vivid colors, an idea she picked up from a room

by French fashion designer Christian Lacroix. Gibson’s seat covers are felt, a fabric she said “does well with wet bathing suits.”

The family enjoys being by the river. DeWolf and his father go striper fishing, and dinner might be fish tacos from their catch of the day. Other local seafood is as fresh as can be, thanks to a neighborhood waterman and an oyster farm down the lane.

They might enjoy a casual dinner by the river bank, at a table and a bunch of chairs Gibson pulled from various rooms, lit by a line of bulbs strung between trees.

Gibson’s sons are always telling her not to doll up the place too much; they like it just as it is. “We do things here as a family we don’t seem to have time to do at home,” Gibson said.

“We watch the sun go down from the deck. When it’s raining, we play board games. It’s a total escape.”

5 plants that can improve a room’s decor, your health

By MEGAN MCDONOUGH The Washington Post It should come as no surprise that plants play a vital role in maintaining our atmosphere by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen through the well-known process of photosynthesis. (Thanks, high school earth science class.)

But certain plant varieties go a step further by reducing airborne toxins, including carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and benzene, from the air we breathe in our homes and offices.

“With all the synthetic building components and furnishings found within a modern building, there usually exist myriad chemicals in the indoor air,” B.C. “Bill” Wolverton, an environmental engineer and retired senior research scientist at NASA, said in an email. While at NASA, he was the principal investigator of the Clean Air Study, which discovered that certain houseplants had the ability to remove airborne chemicals and help purify the air in space stations.

Many household items, such as carpets, draperies and stoves, contain

pollutants, and lots of commonly used goods, including glue, detergent, grocery bags, toilet paper and even facial wipes, emit toxic compounds.

“These chemicals are often found in low levels but combine to produce a chemical soup,” Wolverton said.

That doesn’t sound very appetizing.

Prolonged exposure to these pollutants, such as formaldehyde, can lead to health problems such as sore throats, scratchy eyes and nosebleeds, and long-term, serious ailments, including decreased lung function and an increased risk of asthma and cancer, according to the Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry.

Luckily for us, several common houseplants double as natural air purifiers, efficiently and effectively absorbing and filtering out toxic agents from our indoor air. With winter on the horizon (and the Environmental Protection Agency’s estimation that Americans spend on average a whopping 93 percent of their lives indoors), it’s a great time to consider investing in one of these detoxifying plants.

We asked Wolverton, author of “How to Grow Fresh Air: 50

House Plants That Purify Your Home or Office” and “Plants: Why You Can’t Live Without Them,” to provide his top recommendations for houseplants that are readily available, easy to maintain and efficient at cleaning the air in your home.

• Lady palm: An adaptable, green plant known for its fan-shaped foliage, the lady palm can thrive in dry or humid environments, requires little sunlight and is resistant to pests. If you have pets, this might be your best bet, as it’s the only one on Wolverton’s list that is nontoxic to animals. (The others should be kept out of reach.) It filters out formaldehyde, xylene, toluene and ammonia.

• Rubber plant: The rugged rubber plant does well in dim lighting, prefers humid conditions, and is resistant to pests and diseases.

The easy-to-grow plant, known for its large, glossy green leaves, also absorbs toxins such as formaldehyde, xylene and toluene from the air.

• Golden pothos: Commonly displayed as a hanging plant, this fast-growing vine, distinguishable by

its heart-shaped, gold-tinted leaves, can survive in low lighting and thrives in colder temperatures (great for chilly offices). It also fights nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and formaldehyde.

• Peace lily: With its lance-shaped leaves and striking white blossoms, these shade-loving evergreen plants will brighten any home or office while also ridding the air of acetone, ammonia, benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, xylene and toluene.

• Snake plant: This perennial is a great pick for first-time plant owners, as it requires little sunlight or maintenance to keep it alive.

Known for its textured, upright, swordlike leaves, the potted plant also filters formaldehyde, xylene and toluene.

As a rule, Wolverton recommends one plant per 100 square feet of home or office space, provided there isn’t a serious indoor air quality problem.

He also recommends a mixture of houseplant varieties, as plants have different affinities for various toxins.

At his home, he displays 12 plant varieties, with 25 to 30 plants indoors at any given time.

BOB'S PAINTING – DECORATING and DECKS RENEWED Shelley Winters, who won two Oscars, said, “I did a picture in England one winter and it was so cold I almost got married.”

Presumably she had become used to Los Angeles temperatures, although she was born in Saint Louis and raised in Brooklyn, where it can get much colder than England.

Top bridge players picture where the missing key cards might be located. They assume the worst and try to find a line of play or defense to end the deal without frostbite.

What should South have done in this deal after West led the club jack?

North used a Texas transfer to make his partner the declarer in four hearts. (A Texas transfer announces either game-only or serious-slam interest. With a slam-invitational hand and at least a six-card major, North would have transferred at the two-level, then jumped to game.)

Note that in this deal, the transfer did its job. Four hearts by North is defeated if East leads the spade queen, which would have been his most likely start.

South won the first trick and cashed the heart king, expecting to be playing for an overtrick. West’s club discard was a blow. Could declarer survive if East did not have the spade ace?

South pictured one possibility.

He drew a second round of trumps, cashed the diamond king, played a diamond to his ace, ruffed a diamond, returned to his hand with a club and led his last diamond. When West followed suit, declarer did not ruff; instead, he discarded a spade from the dummy. West then had either to lead away from his spade ace or to concede a ruff-and-sluff.
