Illinois Martial Arts Hall of Fame to gain St. Charles native

By KEVIN DRULEY editorial@kcchronicle.com

Former St. Charles resident Rick Stellwagen (left), who now lives in Plano, works in the boxing ring with 12-year-old Haven McCarney of Hinckley at Rocky’s Dojo and Gym in Sugar Grove.

Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com

boxing helped him account for lost time.

“As he started fighting and doing more fights, he started coming down in weight; he started getting in better shape; he started training more; he started running,” Troutman said.

Winning naturally followed.

“Technically, I never really lost as an amateur or pro,” Stellwagen said, noting his lone amateur defeat came via disqualification. “I was never knocked down. I was never knocked out. I was never really hurt, other than one time. I had a lot of pride in that.”

That notorious “one time” came in 1999, when Manson Gibson landed a devastating spinning back kick to Stellwagen’s liver in a bout for the International Kickboxing Federation Pro Full-Contact light heavyweight U.S. title.

Writhing in sudden pain, Stellwagen slumped to the canvas.

“I thought we were going to have to stop so I could help him get his foot out of

Rob Zbilski, a longtime trainer who worked Stellwagen’s corner that night and had helped book the fight with Gibson, a future world champion, hardly was surprised at what came next.

“Most people would have went down [for good],” Zbilski said.“And Rick took it and pressed on and ended up beating this guy who had over 100 wins.”

Stellwagen earned titles in

two other federations and had 17 knockouts in 22 professional bouts.

A Plano resident for the past 15 years, he still is no stranger to Rocky’s, volunteering his expertise to up-andcoming fighters Wednesday nights. Stellwagen sometimes brings his young son, Joshua, for exposure to self-defense training, but notes he is not pushing him into fighting.

Joshua loves baseball and is a third-generation left-hander.

Meanwhile, Stellwagen’s wife, Jill, realizes her husband’s dedication hasn’t dissipated and doesn’t mind him continuing to ply his kickboxing craft.

“Just giving back to Rocky, who spent all those hours with me helping me to be a better fighter,” Stellwagen said. “I just felt that it’s only fair that I give back and help out. And plus, I really enjoy it. And not to mention, it’s way easier on the body helping somebody.”

Fatigue fades and injuries heal, but such gestures can endure through time. As Troutman awaits the splendor of another Rocky’s-affiliated Hall of Famer – his father, Ron, was inducted in 2012 – he tells others not only of Stellwagen’s fighting skill, but also of his exemplary humility.

“Rick, after he stopped competing, he was very much wanting to give back, and that’s a great attribute for a fighter,” Troutman said. “A lot of them are so self-absorbed in themselves that they don’t give back. So I think that’s very admirable.”

Thursday, March 30, 2017 • The Herald / KCChronicle.com SGH

Rick Stellwagen retired from professional kickboxing about a decade ago, yet he remains quick with his hands, feet and one-liners.

As with many in his sport, the 46-year-old St. Charles native balanced kickboxing with a career in the workforce. Stellwagen is a safety coordinator for Elburn-based Electric Conduit Construction by day, and he senses you’re grinning.

“What’s the irony of that?

Stellwagen said. “A safety coordinator, and I used to beat guys up.”

Stellwagen compiled a combined 44-1 record as an amateur and professional, but leave it to a recent phone call to humble him more than most opponents did. Stellwagen will be inducted into the Illinois Martial Arts Hall of Fame on April 1 during a banquet in Glen Ellyn, an honor that includes a plaque, polo shirt and dinner.

The plaudits of numerous supporters from his past and present may be the best course. Rocky Troutman, a 2009 inductee who once trained Stellwagen at his Sugar Grove gym and now welcomes him as a volunteer instructor, calls Stellwagen “by far the best fighter and most natural fighter” he has trained in 42 years in martial arts.

Stellwagen began as a would-be practitioner of karate in his youth, but he and his brother, Brian, frequently were disqualified from tournaments for over-aggressiveness.

Sensing their frustration, an onlooker suggested kickboxing, which steered Stellwagen to Rocky’s Dojo and Gym, now a two-level, 6,400-squarefoot training facility in Sugar Grove. Although Stellwagen debuted as an amateur at the admittedly “late age” of 26, an unfettered passion for kick-

Kaneland School District reaches out to area businesses

4 FACE TIME

By SUZANNE FLYNN editorial@kcchronicle.com

Tom Laue - tlaue@shawmedia.com

Get to know Anna Lopatin Sugar Grove resident Anna Lopatin, 21, was working behind the counter at the Coffee Grind in Elburn when she took time out to talk to the Kane County Chronicle’s Tom Laue.

Laue: What is your favorite movie?

Lopatin: “Dirty Dancing.”

Laue: What are your favorite professional sports teams?

Lopatin: U.S. women’s national soccer team and the Orlando Pride.

Laue: Favorite TV show?

Lopatin: “Friends.”

Laue: Do you have pets?

Lopatin: A dog, JJ, and a cat, Annie.

Laue: What is your favorite travel destination?

Lopatin: Galway, Ireland.

Laue: What are your hobbies and interests?

Lopatin: Art, longboarding, theater.

One of the main priorities of Kaneland School District’s new strategic plan is strengthening the connection to the community – and that includes local businesses.

The priority supports the district’s mission to graduate all students college, career and community ready.

The Elburn Chamber of Commerce circulated a survey to its Chamber members via email.

“The survey went out to over 100 Chamber members,” said Tracy Leach, administrator for the Chamber. “We felt it was important to work together as a community and was a great way for the businesses to come together – where we live and work and where our kids go to school – to help each other.”

Their goal with the survey is to identify current community relationships, as well as possible opportunities for new relationships.

“We want to formalize what we are currently doing with all the surrounding businesses or if they have ideas on

what we could be doing,” said Dr. Todd Leden, superintendent of Kaneland School District.

“We want to find out if they host internships, have job opportunities, can they be guest speakers, have volunteer opportunities or could they offer tours.”

Leden went on to say that perhaps there are new businesses in town and they have some new ideas on how they can help students. Kaneland is open to new ideas and looks forward to hearing from the businesses through the survey.

“We are excited about this opportunity and know it’s a win-win for the community and the students,” Leden said. Leden wants to be sure that Elburn and surrounding businesses know that this is not an exclusive onetime-only offer.

The Kaneland strategic plan will be

an ongoing, four-year plan, and they are always open to new ideas from existing or new businesses.

The strategic plan priorities include personalized learning – to create personalized educational experiences with rigor, relevance and relationship for all students; culture – to strengthen the Kaneland culture in order to cultivate and encourage and environment that promotes alignment to the school district’s core values; and human resources – to attract, hire and retain the best personnel to serve diverse student learning needs.

The Kaneland core values include citizenship, integrity, responsibility, respect and a commitment to excellence.

Leden this month was to meet with the Sugar Grove Chamber of Commerce, as well, and he hopes that it will come on board to send the survey to its chamber businesses, in order to encompass the entire district and not just Elburn.

Any business not in the chamber that would like to reach out to build a relationship with the Kaneland School District can call Leden directly at the district office at 630-365-8295.

Village Board approves road salt purchase

By VIOLET MARQUARDT editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – The Sugar Grove Village Board voted March 21 to approve the annual road salt purchase.

Streets and properties supervisor Geoffrey Payton said it was an annual renewal of a joint contract to buy the estimated amount of salt needed in 2018.

For next year, Sugar Grove will buy about 1,500 tons of road salt. Payton said this is about half of the normal yearly salt purchase. Salt was left over due to the mild 2016-17 winter. Salt costs about $70 per ton.

Because of the decrease in salt costs, Trustee Rick Montalto proposed that

the village use the savings to buy more trees next year because a lot were lost this year.

“We already have it in the works to purchase new trees next year,” President Sean Michels said.

The salt purchase motion passed unanimously. The village also voted to take charge of the Settlers Ridge neighborhood water system. This gives Sugar Grove ownership of the system it has operated for over 10 years.

Trustee Kevin Geary expressed concern that once the water system is deeded to the village, it would come at an additional cost for residents. Other trustees disagreed.

The motion passed unanimously.

The Village Board also discussed its

refuse contract covering services such as garbage pickup and road sweeping.

Village Administrator Brent Eichelberger said, this contract has been with Waste Management for the past 20 years. The current contract will end in July of this year, so the village has been talking to two other firms, as well.

In addition to Waste Management employees, DC Trash and Groot Industries representatives appeared before the board.

“We have always had great service from Waste Management,” Montalto said. “When I called because the drivers kept driving over my parkway trees, Waste Management representatives came out and fixed the issue.”

Chico’s Tacos restaurant reopens as Mi Pueblito

By SUSAN O’NEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com ELBURN – Elburn resident Alex Lopez hopes to bring new life to the former Chico’s Tacos restaurant that was owned and operated by his father, Felipe Lopez.

Along with a new name, Mi Pueblito (which means my little town, in honor of Elburn) will have a bar in the back and serve margaritas, as well as a selection of beers and micheladas (sometimes referred to as a Mexican bloody mary). Micheladas are prepared with lime juice and assorted sauces, spices and peppers and served in a chilled, salt-rimmed glass, Lopez said.

In addition to standard Mexican fare of tacos, burritos, fajitas and enchiladas, Lopez is expanding the menu to include chilis rellenos, carne asada, shrimp and mahi mahi tacos. Carnitas also will be served on weekends.

Carnitas, which literally means “little meats,” is the Mexican answer to American pulled pork. It’s made with pork shoulder, simmered for hours.

This makes the meat especially tender and juicy.

Breakfast dishes, such as huevos con chorizo (eggs with sausage), hue-

Lopez and his father came to the Village Board meeting March 6 to request approval of a new liquor license. The old license for Chico’s Tacos expired in October 2016. Armed with the new liquor license, Lopez said he now will apply to the state for a gambling license that would allow five video gaming machines in the restaurant.

The original restaurant was opened in 2012, with a liquor license granted in 2013.

“We’re glad you’re still here,” Village President Dave Anderson said, after the liquor license was approved.

Although his father, Felipe Lopez, will be “retired,” the younger Lopez said he still will be around the business.

“It was just too much for one person,” he said.

Viridiana Diaz Waubonsee Community College student

Quick Path program for the 2017-18 school year, Warren-Crouch said, with some minor adjustments to the academic format so that course loads aren’t quite so heavy in certain terms.

Plans are to again cap the program at 20 students. Applications should be available mid-March with a deadline of June 1.

Morales and Diaz are testaments of how the program can work for different individuals with different goals.

Morales graduated from West Aurora High School last year and entered the Dunham Fund Quick Path program with several dual credits that lightened his workload a bit, giving him time to get involved on campus.

He joined Student Senate and recently was elected secretary. He became an active member of the Business Club, and he was accepted into the college’s first Waubonsee Leadership Development Program.

“He’s really involved on campus, in addition to all the work he’s completing,” Warren-Crouch said. “He’s definitely taking the reins, and he’s killing it this year … . I know that being involved is important to student success, but I did not expect the level of involvement that Martin has done.”

Diaz, meanwhile, graduated from East Aurora High School and joined the workforce for three years, quickly moving her way up to a supervisory position within the hospitality industry. Still, she dreamed of going back to college, and the Dunham Fund Quick Path program was her ticket to earn her degree.

Apply for next year Though it was suggested students Waubonsee will continue the accelerated format of the Dunham Fund in the program focus their energies on The “extra” perks have included full tuition, books, a computer, an allowance, daily lunches and coaching by Warren-Crouch, all funded by a $500,000 grant from the Aurora-based Dunham Fund, which funds educational and community development programs and projects that better the Aurora area.

Morales, a first-generation college student, had planned to attend college even before hearing of the program, but the assistance he’s receiving is a huge benefit, he said.

He just signed up for fall orientation at NIU, where he’s been accepted into the university’s accounting program. With an associate degree from Waubonsee in hand, he plans to finish his Bachelor of Science degree in accounting in two years and then enroll in the university’s one-year master’s program in either taxation or leadership in accountancy – yet another accelerated program that will help him graduate earlier than many students.

If all goes to plan, he will have earned a master’s degree after just four years of higher education.

“I think my family and I, we’ve put myself in a good position,” he said.

His end goal is to gain experience in the field and then come back home to take over the construction business owned by his father, Pedro Ramirez.

“I tell everyone that the stars just aligned for me,” he said of joining the program.

their studies and not try to balance a work-school schedule – hence the allowance, or stipend, given to each student – Diaz continued to work, first on a full-time basis, and now three to four days a week.

She does not suggest other students follow her path, noting her schedule has been chaotic at times.

“It’s been rough,” she said. “I’m not going to tell you it’s been pretty and green with flowers.”

What has pulled her through has been the support of the teaching staff and the guidance of Warren-Crouch.

And understanding that in a matter of months, she will walk away with an associate degree keeps her energized, she said.

She’s been accepted to the accelerated transfer program at her dream school – DePaul University – and now plans to major in business administration, with minors in international business and political science.

“It’s a good feeling; it’s a feeling of accomplishment and relief,” Diaz said of reaching the halfway point. “And I’m almost there. I remind myself every day.”

The best part of the Dunham Fund Quick Path program has been the opportunity to cram two years of schooling into one, said Martin Morales, 19, of North Aurora.

“The one-year track is the best thing,” he said. “Saving a whole year of tuition, books, time – I honestly would have done this program even without the extra perks, just to get done in a year.”

SUGAR GROVE – For the past several months, Viridiana Diaz has been in survival mode.

The 22-year-old Aurora native is one of 20 students who began a fast-paced associate degree program in August at Waubonsee Community College in Sugar Grove, with the intent of graduating with a fully transferable degree – with a business emphasis – in just one year.

The students entered the inaugural Dunham Fund Quick Path program understanding their course load would be heavy – typically, the 60-credit-hour degree takes two years to complete, not one – and expectations high.

Though they’re exhausted, they’ve certainly met – if not exceeded – those expectations thus far, said Sean Warren-Crouch, project manager for the Dunham Fund Quick Path program.

“It’s a lot of hard work,” he said. “A lot of them go from school to the library to home for more work and then to bed.

[But] they’re halfway done. They can’t believe it.”

Nineteen students are on track to graduate (one left the program for personal reasons), and 17 have a gradepoint average of 3.0 or higher, which is much better than average, Warren-Crouch said. One student even has a 4.0.

What’s more, 16 students plan to transfer to a four-year institution this fall, and a handful already have been accepted to schools such as Northern Illinois University, Benedictine University, Aurora University and the University of Iowa, Warren-Crouch said.

Ten students were accepted to Phi Theta Kappa, the international community college honors society, which will help students secure scholarships when transferring to those other institutions, Warren-Crouch said.

Sometimes it’s good to look at those positives, because the day-to-day grind can get intimidating, Diaz said.

“It’s a draining and tiring program, but what you have to remember is that it’s worth it at the end,” Diaz said.

“And I think that’s what most of us remember.”

“It’s a draining and tiring program, but what you have to remember is that it’s worth it at the end.”

For instance, water retention may cause the thickness and curvature of their corneas to increase slightly, which can affect how well their eyeglasses or contacts correct their vision. Most women find that they are a bit more nearsighted during their pregnancies, but not enough to warrant a change in lens prescription. With all this in mind, pregnancy is not a good time for women to invest in a new pair of glasses.

Fortunately, any pregnancy-related changes in vision that they do experience are temporary and will revert to normal within months of delivery.

At EYEDENTITY VISION CARE, LLC, we provide comprehensive, primary eye care for the entire family.

ST. CHARLES – Law enforcement officers from across Kane County learned how to deal with violent incidents resulting in mass casualties at a recent police training program, whose keynote speakers dealt with the aftermath of the shooting at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in 2012.

At his monthly press briefing, Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon said about 80 attended the annual training program, which also covered updates in search and seizure rules, changes in juvenile justice regulations and how to navigate the recently introduced Odyssey software program for Kane County’s case management system.

The keynote speakers discussing the fatal shooting of six by a white supremacist at the Sikh Temple were Police Chief Steve Anderson and Capt.

Mike Bolender of Oak Creek, Wis. McMahon said they shared the lessons learned from investigating the case along with practical tips on

how law enforcement can prepare for such an event.

He said keynote speakers in years past have included representatives from the Bureau of Alcohol, To- Joe bacco, Firearms and Ex- McMahon plosives, and the Drug Enforcement Administration, as well as a special agent from the Chicago office of the FBI who worked on the Boston Marathon terrorist bombing attack.

Attending the training program were people ranging from rookie officers to several police chiefs. “[Primarily,] the men and women who are on the street – front line,” McMahon said.

He extends an invitation to Kane County youth ages 14 to 18 to enroll in the free Law Enforcement Academy taking place this summer.

“The youth academy is a great program,” McMahon said. “I hope [it will] pique their interest.”

Many signs of spring: Let’s count the ways How good are you at reading signs?

Admittedly, some are easier to pick up on than others. Big red stop signs, for example, are pretty unmistakable (for most people, anyway). Flashing neon can be hard to miss, too.

Other signs are more subtle, even though they’re all around. And right now, we’re surrounded by a bunch.

They’re nature’s undeniable signs of spring. Here, in handy checklist form, are 10 of our naturalist department favorites:

1. Woodpeckers, both male and female, are drumming. Listen for the rapid-fire

rat-a-tat of our local species as they pound on hollow trees (and gutters) to declare territories.

2. Daylight is lasting longer. Hard to believe, but we’ve added more than 100 minutes to our day length since the winter solstice in December. Plus, we’re less than two weeks away from the spring equinox, March 20, when day and night will equal each other at 12 hours apiece.

3. Canada geese are pairing off. They still prefer the safety of the flock at night, but these ever-present members of our suburban landscape have started “dating” during the day. Look for pairs feeding just ever-so-slightly away from each other in areas where that longer-lasting sun has melted the snow off the grass.

4. Love is in the air. Have you smelled it? Thiol, the “active ingredient” in skunk spray, has permeated most of our neighborhoods at one time or another this season as Mephitis mephitis (Latin for Stinky stinky) goes about its courtship and mating rituals.

5. Skunks aren’t the only mammals in reproductive mode. Squirrels, raccoons,

opossums, foxes, coyotes ... all have nearly completed their breeding activities and soon will be prepping nests and dens for the arrival of offspring.

6. Male redwing blackbirds have returned. Competition is stiff among these

marsh denizens, which happen to be polygynous (one male, many females) and the early birds definitely claim the better territories. They’ll defend them fiercely throughout the breeding season. (Remember this come June, when the news will no doubt include reports of redwing “attacks” on unsuspecting folks strolling too close to a well-hidden nest. Want to ward off a strike? Stare down the little stinker. RWBBs won’t fly toward eyes.)

7. Spiders! Next time the sun is out, find a patch of ground where the snow has melted and leaf litter is plentiful.

Bet you’ll find spiders there, tiny little guys stalking even tinier insect prey.

8. Male American goldfinches are brightening. Throughout the winter

months, these guys have flitted about

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto

Note to readers This column has been updated. It originally ran in 2014.

Early breeding frogs and salamanders already have made their way to breeding ponds. And soon morning cloak butterflies will emerge from diapause, the insect version of hibernation in drab olive-yellow. But with spring just around the corner, their plumages are beginning to change. Soon they’ll be bright yellow, just as their nickname “wild canary” implies.

9. Maple buds are swelling. Live near a silver maple? Those giant blobs on the ends of the branches are this year’s leaves, coiled up in buds awaiting the first rush of sap. A few more warm days and cool nights, and things should really start popping.

10. Skunk cabbage is up. Our earliest blooming wildflower, Symplocarpus foetidus, has popped up in wetlands throughout the Tri-Cities. Chemical reactions allow this plant to generate temperatures 15 to 35 degrees warmer than the surrounding air. In years where we actually have snow, this reaction would help melt any flakes covering the plant.

It also serves another purpose, helping skunk cabbage spread its stinky (or fetid, as referenced in the Latin name) aroma and attract the carrion-feeding insects it requires for pollination.

I suppose I could go on and on, for more signs of spring are just around the corner. Early breeding frogs and salamanders already have made their way to breeding ponds. And soon morning cloak butterflies will emerge from diapause, the insect version of hibernation.

But now my phone is ringing. And that’s a sign that it’s time to stop with this talk about signs … at least for now.

Woodpecker species in our area have begun drumming, an annual sign their breeding season has begun. The loud, staccato pounding is used to declare territory. It is distinctly different from the softer pecking sounds the birds create when excavating a nest cavity or foraging for food.

RE-ELECT SUPERVISOR/SEXTON Blackberry Independent Party Candidate

Fred Dornback I want to thank the citizens of Blackberry Township for allowing me to serve as Supervisor for the past three plus years. I tried to earn your trust to allow me to continue for another term in office.

The Blackberry Township’s Town levy has been held flat in the past several years. We have increased the community services by creating opportunities for seniors to meet and enjoy time together. We have established a medical equipment lending program. We have successfully written grants to offset the cost of developing McNair Fields. The financial reporting system needed an overhaul. It is now possible for the trustees and public to understand our budget and our financial status at any time during the year.

We have made the Cemetery a source of community pride without any tax dollars.

I am a retired Psychologist that became the president of the National Association of School Psychologists. I served as a volunteer Disaster Mental Health Chairman for the Greater Chicago ARC. I am a co-founder of LivingWell Cancer Resource Center in Geneva.

By BRENDA SCHORY The father of one of two Kaneland High School juniors who died in a fiery crash last year filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the estate of the teen who was driving, seeking over $50,000 in damages, stated court records filed March 7.

Elijah Vajgert, 16, was a frontseat passenger in a 2002 Chevy S-10 pickup, driven by Arthur Stenger, also 16, on Nov. 5, Arthur when he stopped Stenger westbound at the intersection of Beith and Meredith roads in Virgil Township, according to the lawsuit filed by Bruce Vajgert of Maple Park as administrator of his late son’s estate. The lawsuit also names David Stenger of Montgomery the special administrator of his late son’s estate.

Shortly after 5 p.m., Arthur

Stenger drove the Chevrolet S-10 into the intersection and was struck by a semitrailer headed south on Meredith Road, the lawsuit stated.

The court filing states that Arthur Stenger’s negligence led to Elijah Vajgert’s death because he did not control the pickup, keep a proper lookout for approaching vehicles, disobeyed a stop sign and failed to yield the right of way.

“The force and power of the collision caused Elijah Vajgert the pickup truck to be propelled off the roadway and to be engulfed in fire and flames,” the court filing stated. “Prior to his death, Elijah Vajgert experienced physical pain and mental suffering as a result of the collision and the negligence of Arthur Stenger.”

A case management conference is set May 23, court records show.

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – An Elgin woman was charged with two counts of felony possession of prescription forms, according to police reports released through the Freedom of Information Act. Tamica L. White, 41, of the 900 block of Carol Avenue, Elgin, also was charged Jan. 12 with felony forgery with intent to defraud, police reports stated.

The charges stem from in-

cidents that began in October and continued through Dec. 6, 2016, when police were called to CVS Pharmacy, 1500 Lin- Tamica L. coln Highway, White reports stated.

A doctor had notified the pharmacy that a prescription filled there for White was not one that he had written, that the signature was not his, nor was the patient, White, one of his patients, which prompted

the pharmacist to call police, reports stated.

The prescription was for hydrocodone, an opiate painkiller, reports stated.

A warrant was issued for White’s arrest Jan. 12, and she was taken into custody Feb. 18 in Hoffman Estates.

White was released on a personal recognizance bond and is to appear in court April 19.

The felonies have penalties of one to five years in prison and fines of up to $25,000 if convicted.

Jeff Mengler of the Fox River Ecosystem Partnership speaks during a gathering outside U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren’s Campton Hills office urging the congressman to oppose President Donald Trump’s efforts to undermine the Environmental Protection Act. Sandy Bressner sbressner@shawmedia.com

Advocates push back on proposed cuts to EPA

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com CAMPTON HILLS – About 100 people gathered outside the Campton Hills district office of U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, on March 16 to ask the congressman to resist President Donald Trump’s proposed deep cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency.

Among them was Jeanne Neltnor of Geneva, carrying a sign with a picture of the earth and the words, “Protect what you love.”

“I’m here because we can’t live without clean air and clean water,” Neltnor said. “And to destroy the EPA – it’s going to destroy humankind. I want him to vote against these cuts. Say no and stand up to Trump and his cronies.”

Candida Kyle of Elgin also carried a sign with a picture of the earth – only her message was, “There is no planet B.” “If we do not have clean water, if we do not have clean air, if our food is not inspected, then what else is there?”

Kyle asked. “We will not be able to survive these next four years. We need clean water; we need clean air. We need protected food. … I don’t want him to dismantle the EPA. We need environmental protection.”

Kyle said years ago, the Fox River was polluted and people worked for

years to clean it up.

“In a very short time, that can all come back,” Kyle said. “We cannot have that. I want him to vote against the dismantling of the EPA.” Sugar Grove resident Tabitha Elzer, with her 9-month-old daughter Maxine, said she joined the group because she wants a safe environment for her daughter to grow up in.

“I want to prevent budget cuts for the EPA,” Elzer said. “It should be about the good of the people, not just money.”

As during recent protests at Hultgren’s office from Indivisible Fox Valley and other groups, those driving by honked and waved their support.

In an email, Hultgren did not respond to constituent concerns about cuts to the EPA. Instead, Hultgren’s email stated the president submitted his budget request for the American people to see where his budget priorities lie.

“As we continue to write the budget and follow through with the appropriations process, members will have their chance to weigh-in on the priorities that matter for our constituents,” Hultgren stated.

The event also included six speakers, who all spoke with a bullhorn to be heard above the wind and traffic.

Sugar Grove resident Amanda Tracy of Food & Water Watch, said a clean environment shouldn’t be a partisan issue.

“We know the protections that the EPA offers … are intended to protect everybody’s well-being,” Tracy said.

“We want Randy Hultgren to stand up for our environmental protections.”

Reed Scherer, professor of micropaleontology and biostratigraphy at NIU in DeKalb, said “climate change is a reality.”

“Scientists are skeptical by nature,” Scherer said. “That is what we are trained to do. We do not embrace a conclusion before we have any evidence to prove it.”

Scherer criticized EPA Director Scott Pruitt and Trump for making policy decisions about the EPA that are not based on scientific evidence.

Scherer said a proposed 31 percent cut to the EPA and the elimination of NASA’s climate change research would impact the fundamental data on climate change that scientists rely on.

“Randy Hultgren is not a dumb man. He speaks with knowledge of science,” Scherer said. “Yet, he votes in lock-step with his party. The reason I am here today is, if you believe in science, act on your belief and vote.”

Jeff Mengler, president of the Fox Riv-

er Ecosystem Partnership, said the EPA’s leadership has been essential to the environmental progress of the last decade.

“I have spent a career repairing environmental degradation,” Mengler said. “I am acutely aware of the need for these protections on a local level.”

Mavis Bates, adjunct professor of sustainability at Waubonsee Community College, said she came to environmental awareness after witnessing an atomic blast when she was 12 and living in Hawaii.

“I was, and still am, filled with a sense of urgency, an awareness of the fragility of this planet,” Bates said.

Dr. Adam Cohen-Lewe, a physician, added that environmental protections are public health protections.

“Without them, we would see much higher rates of cancer,” Cohen-Lewe said. “These protections are essential.”

Allison Klein, an organizer for Action 14th District Illinois, said the EPA is not a Democrat vs. Republican issue.

“The EPA was created by President [Richard] Nixon, a wise response to [dangerous] air pollution levels in the 1970s,” Klein said. “It is designed to protect all of us from dangers that we have put out of mind, so we can live our lives without thinking about clean drinking water or if the beach at Lake Michigan is safe.”

He returned to Illinois to earn a Masters Degree in history at SIU from which he graduated with highest honors. After spending a year doing post graduate work at the University of Iowa, he returned to Illinois where he subsequently graduated from Northern Illinois University after earning his Ph.D. He then returned to his Alma Mater, Elmhurst and commenced a career teaching history where he arose to become Departmental Chairman and was subsequently named Professor Emeritus.

He was extremely popular with students and his course on the ‘History of the Vietnam War’ was always fully enrolled. He was a first rate scholar, a brilliant lecturer and a compulsive reader.

From his undergraduate days at Elmhurst he was a star varsity athlete and after graduating he became a ‘wicked’ tennis player. He was a devoted runner to the end.

Minh Nguyen, an eighth-grader at St. Charles Borroméo Catholic School in Hampshire, reacts to winning the 2017 Kane County Final Spelling Bee hosted by the Kane County Regional Office of Education in Geneva.

Kane County’s eight best spellers take on words in spelling bee

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Eight of Kane County’s best spellers fielded words such as fandango, wikiwiki and sitzmark at the 2017 Kane County Final Spelling Bee on March 15 at the Kane County Regional Office of Education in Geneva.

Eighth-grader Minh Nguyen of St. Charles Borroméo Catholic School in Hampshire emerged as the last speller standing.

Minh will go on to represent the county at the Scripp’s National Spelling Bee, which will take place May 28 to June 3 in Washington, D.C. A smiling Minh was embraced by his parents and bumped fists with his school friend, Ethan Olson, who came along for support.

“I’m pretty happy with this because I worked for it,” Minh said. “And the other kids, they worked just as hard. I think they did an extremely good job.”

Part of Minh’s technique was to trace the letters of a word on his forearm with his finger before he would spell it.

“It helps me a lot. It helps you visualize the words in your mind,” Minh said.

“Because then you have a clear picture of what you are going to spell. And also,

it’s always good to have everything definite. You don’t want to start spelling until you know what the word is. … You should know your word.”

Minh’s mother, Thao Nguyen, said she was proud of her son.

“He works hard, and he works late, night after night, for months,” his mother said.

Minh’s father, Leonard Nguyen, said he knew how much work his son put into studying the words for the spelling bee.

“I’m so proud of him,” Leonard Nguyen said. “It’s an achievement for him. I’m happy for him, too.”

Minh’s last competitor, Alexander Zhuang, a sixth-grade student at Dundee Middle School, missed on the definition of belay in the vocabulary section of the spelling bee.

Belay is a term used in rock climbing.

“I remembered that word from studying, but in the end, I forgot,” Alexander said.

His mother, Hui Lu, said she was shaking with stress each time her son stood up to spell. His father, Ting Zhuang, said he did better with the stress.

As for Alexander, he said he was ready to try again next year.

“It was awesome,” Alexander said of the whole experience.

This was not the first spelling bee for Janina Mangulabnan, an eighth-grader from Wredling Middle School in St. Charles.

“I’ve always liked it. I’ve always been a decent speller,” Janina said. “I practiced a lot. There’s a word list on the Scripp’s National page, and I went through the entire thing to practice.”

Janina missed on whether linseed comes from flax or mint plants during the vocabulary portion of the bee.

“I am mad at myself that I messed up,” Janina said.

Other participants were seventh-grader Marc Apigo of Our Lady of Good Council in Aurora; fifth-grader Benjamin Fender of Holy Cross Catholic School in Batavia; Ryan Moneze, a sixthgrade student at Jewel Middle School in North Aurora; and Gurshaan Singh, a fifth-grade student at Glenbrook Elementary School in Streamwood.

The spelling bee was hosted by the Kane Excellence in Education Partnership.

The Dunham Fund underwrote the spelling bee with a $10,000 grant, which includes two $1,000 scholarships for the first-place winner and runner-up.

battling the bank with a predatory lending claim that is still pending. However, five days before Christmas, the eviction took place. On Feb. 13, the bank, with acquiescence of the forest preserve, bulldozed the house.

Perhaps a cooling-off period is called for now, rather than reloading the forest preserve with $50 million in taxpayer funds. I will be respectfully voting no.

Supporting an open space legacy To the editor: I support the referendum for the Kane County Forest Preserve District’s land acquisitions. The forest preserves are an open space legacy that requires the purchase of land before development. It takes a long-term view to see the value of these open spaces for future generations.

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.

We, as taxpayers, have to share the vision of the forest preserve district to provide open space, walking trails, and picnic and play areas that will increase recreational opportunities for Elgin residents by supporting the purchase of the land and its preservation.

Springtime fun on Third Street According to the “Hamilton” calendar that hangs on my wall, we’ve officially entered spring. It’s a time when flowers begin to poke out of the ground, and temperatures slowly but surely begin to rise. Generally, when the weather is nice and there’s a promising lack of snow on the ground, people tend to wake up from their winter-induced hibernation and head outside for some fresh air and fun. In my opinion, there’s no better place for a leisurely stroll in the springtime than Third Street in downtown Geneva.

I live fairly close to the downtown area, so for as long as I can remember, Third Street has been an enjoyable destination for my family. Since I now have a driver’s license, I go there often with friends or by myself, and it has become one of my favorite places in the world. There’s just something about the shops in old houses, the historic landmarks, and the friendly passers-by that makes Third Street incredibly quaint and charming.

Many of my fondest childhood memories took place in downtown Geneva, so there is always a sense of nostalgia when I’m there. Take Graham’s Fine Chocolates & Ice Cream, for example. I remember going there with my parents and sisters during the summer when I was younger and always ordering a kiddie cone of cookie dough ice cream. One time, I dropped my cone on the floor (every child’s worst nightmare), and the staff replaced it free of charge. Now that I’ve graduated to a regular-size cone – one that I take great care not to drop – I still love coming to Graham’s, and I’m always amazed by the

THE WRITE PLACE Emma Chrusciel kindness of the staff in addition to the deliciousness of their desserts!

Graham’s isn’t the only place on Third Street to satisfy a sweet tooth or fill an empty stomach. Graham’s 318, the nearby coffeehouse, is one of my most frequently visited businesses. I highly recommend the Frozen Thin Mint or the Iced Chai. If you’re craving something a bit more filling, there’s no better restaurant than Chianti’s. Their chicken tortellini is one of the most amazing dishes I’ve ever tasted.

If tempting tastes aren’t enough to persuade you to take a stroll down Third Street, the variety of shops are certainly a good reason. Shoppes at 127 and Cocoon are two of my go-to places for gifts. The Paper Merchant has cards, paper products and even joke gifts. I also love to wander around the Little Traveler and explore all the different rooms – my personal favorite is the room that houses holiday decorations year-round.

I’m lucky to live in a community that’s as wonderful as Geneva, and the downtown area encompasses everything that makes my town great. I can’t wait to enjoy the warm weather in downtown Geneva, and I hope to make more memories of my town that I can carry with me for years to come.

To the editor: I have been elected twice as Kane County Board chairman to do everything in my power and skill to contain the size of government. My job is to deliver high-quality county services while holding the line on total county property tax levies.

The purpose of paying off debt is not to turn around and borrow more. Longterm taxpayer-paid public debt should not be used like a revolving credit card, especially when we’re talking about a staggering $50 million of new borrowing and more spending.

Also, we are frequently told that we do not have sufficient budget to operationally take care of the forest preserve property we currently own. Fifty million dollars more in additional purchases will make this even more difficult.

Taxpayers most clearly communicate and most directly provide direction to their elected representatives through referenda, especially those that allow government to increase property taxes.

I am told repeatedly and emphatically that you and I are “being taxed out of our homes.” In fact, an October 2016 Paul Simon Public Policy Institute poll revealed that 47 percent of Illinois registered voters would leave the state if they could. Taxes were the No. 1 reason.

It is inconsistent and seemingly irrational to then vote to increase your property taxes. You need to send clear messages through your vote if you truly want us to say no to increased taxes and spending.

Finally, there are several legitimate perspectives on this situation, but I was literally shocked by how a constituent in northern Kane County was treated by a bank and the forest preserve recently.

Briefly, a bank foreclosed on 68 acres of this person’s property that had been used as collateral on a business loan that became troubled. Then, the bank offered to sell the land to the forest preserve based on an existing “first right of refusal.” The forest preserve said yes, with the condition that essentially the bank evict the current residents on the 3.5-acre homestead where the former owner’s 29-year-old son, daughter-inlaw and granddaughter lived.

This Kane County taxpayer has been

Isaacs, Kvitek and Porteous bring experience at key spots, and freshman Rachel Chason will add depth to the midfield.

Tiffany Hamling, Erin Hawkins and Elizabeth Sayasane are seniors who could bolster the attack, while classmates Angela Kvitek, Gabi Pruneda and Samantha Suchaczewski will add defensive depth.

The team chemistry and a large number of home games are two factors that favor the Royals, who will see some new faces in new places as they strive to notch another winning record.

“We graduated a very experienced squad last year, so the aim is to have everyone adjust to their new roles on the team and work together,” Eddington said.

GIRLS BASKETBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR

THE PERFECT ENDING

Grace Loberg caps hoops career with state title, top honor

By CHRIS CASEY editorial@kcchronicle.com

GENEVA – Grace Loberg had a choice to make.

Just before her sophomore volleyball season at Geneva, Loberg chose to commit to the University of Wisconsin.

But where did that leave basketball, a sport the 6-foot-3 Loberg had been playing since fourth grade?

She just couldn’t give up basketball, and Vikings coach Sarah Meadows and the Geneva community could not be more thrilled with that decision.

Fast-forward to her senior season.

Loberg led Geneva to its first Class 4A state championship in what was the final competitive basketball game of her career and, in turn, she was named Kane County Chronicle Girls Basketball Player of the Year.

Loberg averaged 13.6 points per game and 10.6 rebounds a game in her senior season to finish her Geneva career with 1,516 points and 1,090 rebounds.

“It was honestly the best way possible for her to go out,” Meadows said.

“It honestly couldn’t happen to a nicer, more determined, humble kid. She deserves every ounce of credit she gets because of how hard she works to do what she does.”

Meadows could not confirm it 100 percent, but she did believe Loberg’s career rebounds were the most in Geneva girls basketball history.

In Geneva’s run to the state tournament, Loberg continued her dominance. With Loberg posting double-double after double-double, the Vikings found themselves two wins away from becoming the first-ever girls basketball state champion in Geneva history.

Not only did Loberg and Geneva win a state title, they were the first team to ever win a state tournament game in program history.

“We just had higher expectations than ever coming into this season,” said Loberg, who posted a 17-point, nine-rebound effort in the state championship against Edwardsville.

“We had gotten close, especially last year, to getting to state and we wanted more. I don’t regret [my decision] to play basketball along with volleyball for a second. I still love and have so

The amount of words to de- to accomplish something, there is no scribe her could go on forever, but she stopping her.” works so hard and is the definition of There was an extra level of determi-

nation that kicked in for Loberg after a loss against St. Charles North late in the regular season.

After that loss Jan. 17, the Vikings finished the season 15-0.

The 13 wins before the two state tournament victories were by an average of 31.4 points. It was fair for Meadows to say that Loberg was not going to let herself experience a loss for the remainder of her basketball career.

“It was that ‘Get on my back and let’s go’ kind of thing after that loss,” Meadows said. “She was in just a different gear from that point on. She was more focused and more determined than I’ve ever seen her at Geneva.

There was no way we were losing with her on the court after that.

“We’ve had some special players come through Geneva, but I’ve said to a lot of people that I’m not sure we’ll ever see another Grace Loberg.”

QUILL THE UMPIRE Chris Rollin Walker and get clarification.

Now, I don’t know how often those officials were reading, but apparently it wasn’t enough. I know they didn’t mean to do it, but they took away the experience of playing in a state championship for those kids.

That’s horrible.

That doesn’t mean I don’t empathize with these officials, but it’s difficult to do when it’s their fault that they weren’t prepared. You have to know the rules or you’re just asking for trouble.

I understand what it’s like to blow a call. We’ve all done it. In a few weeks you’ll be able to see plenty of blown calls in Major League Baseball. Let’s face it, close plays are tough ones. In 2015, there were more than 1,300 MLB calls reviewed by replay and 643 of them – just under 50 percent – were overturned. If a professional umpire who gets to work in baseball’s most majestic palaces, eat at the finest steakhouses and earn six figures is going to make mistakes, you can sure bet an IHSA official who does it for love of the game and pocket change is going to screw up on occasion as well.

Missing a bang-bang play at first base, though, is much different than not knowing a rule. Remember when the manager in “Bull Durham” went ballistic on his team, explaining that baseball is a simple game. “You throw the ball, you hit the ball, you

catch the ball?” Well, what I say to my fellow officials is “you read the rules, understand the rules and enforce the rules.”

Remember the “Imperfect Game” in 2010? Detroit’s Armando Galarraga retired the first 26 batters he faced, but first-base umpire Jim Joyce ruled that Cleveland’s Jason Donald beat out a ground ball to break up the potential perfecto.

Joyce blew it and he knew it. Sadly, whether you’re an advocate for replay or not, this was the pre-replay era so the play couldn’t be overturned although it certainly would have been. Galarraga had reason to be furious, but he somehow was able to forgive Joyce, who was so distraught that he was a blubbering mess afterward. Galarraga simply said, “Nobody’s perfect.” As a side note, the two would later collaborate on the book “Nobody’s Perfect: Two Men, One Call, and a Game for Baseball History.” I highly recommend you read it, but only if you almost promise to also read your rulebooks and casebooks.

Now, I know most officials are super busy working full-time jobs as well as trying to balance being a good spouse and parent or grandparent. It’s not easy to do since you’re being pulled this way and that way, but one thing I know for sure is that you’re going to be spending a lot of time in the bathroom.

It’s estimated that the average man spends one hour and 45 minutes on the toilet each week. That’s about as long as it would take to watch “Animal House,” “Caddyshack” or “Fletch,” three excellent desert

island movies, although a lack of restroom facilities and TP would make for a less than desirable existence, despite the climate.

If you’re spending that much time in there, why not sharpen up on the rules of the game at the same time?

I’ve got rulebooks and casebooks in all of my bathrooms at home and I’m not embarrassed to admit it.

I would be devastated if I screwed up a rule in a game and I’d be especially embarrassed since I sound a bit like a preacher today about the importance of reading your rules. I can survive a poor judgment call and I think most good coaches understand that nobody’s perfect, but they also want someone who takes the job seriously and knows the rules like the back of their hand.

The Fenwick fiasco was unfortunate for a lot of people. I hated to see it dominate the news and affect so many people.

Hopefully, if anything positive comes out of it, and I don’t care if it’s those who are working boys volleyball, girls soccer, lacrosse, baseball or softball or any of the other spring sports, I hope it’s reiterating the importance of reading your rulebooks and getting officials to take doing it seriously.

All it takes is one major mistake and your reputation and officiating career can be flushed down the toilet. That’s not a good way to go.

I’m not afraid to admit it. I get a lot of reading done on the porcelain throne. If you’re doing so as well right now, a pat on the back to you (don’t worry, I washed my hands) and thanks for reading.

What I would be afraid to admit is not knowing a baseball rule, especially if such a scenario resulted in a train wreck of epic proportions in the middle of the ball diamond.

That’s what happened to the ill-fated officiating crew in the fall during a Class 7A football semifinal game between Fenwick and Plainfield North.

Many of you probably know the story already since it garnered national attention, but I’ll briefly recap it. Fenwick led 10-7 and had the ball at its own 15-yard line with a few seconds remaining. Its quarterback fired a long pass on fourth down for an incompletion, but with the clock showing no time left, the officials flagged him for intentional grounding and allowed Plainfield North to run a final play. The Tigers booted a game-tying field goal and proceeded to win in overtime.

They never should’ve been allowed to run that play. Fenwick should’ve advanced to the Class 7A state finals. And to think that it all came down to five officials not knowing the rules.

I don’t care if you’ve been officiating for one week or if you’re a week away from beginning your 50th year, you should constantly be reading the rulebooks and casebooks, and no one should have to remind you. Don’t understand a rule? Reach out to a fellow official, a mentor or an assignor

Santacaterina battling for NIU starting QB spot

By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Entering the 2016 season No. 4 on the depth chart, Northern Illinois quarterback Daniel Santacaterina didn’t expect to see much playing time.

By the end of the year, he was making his first start for the Huskies on the road.

Now the redshirt sophomore is in a competition with redshirt junior Ryan Graham for the starting spot in the 2017 spring season. The team had its fourth spring practice March 25 at Huskie Stadium.

“It definitely feels different [this spring]” Santacaterina said. “I feel more responsibility, and I feel when you have more responsibility, you’re held to a higher standard and it makes you raise your game.

Ryan is a great friend of mine, and it’s really fun to compete with him. ... I’m getting a lot more reps, so I’ve been learning the offense by performing the offense – being in there and executing it, that’s how you learn best.”

For the second consecutive season, the Huskies suffered injuries at quarterback in 2016. Drew Hare and Anthony Maddie both suffered season-ending injuries, and Graham had a concussion in the first half of the Huskies’ game at Eastern Michigan. Santacaterina, a 6-foot-1, 206-pounder from Geneva, played the rest of the 31-24 overtime comeback win over the Eagles and got his first collegiate start at Kent State – a 31-21 victory for the Huskies.

Against the Flashes, he went 13 for 23 for 258 yards and an interception and also ran for a 3-yard touchdown.

Against Eastern Michigan, he was 5 for 15 for 105 yards and a 74-yard touchdown pass to Aregeros Turner. He also rushed for 91 yards, and had the luxury of running back Jordan Huff rushing for 173 yards and three touchdowns.

“When you come into the season where I did, just being prepared with as many reps as you can, then you slowly realize it could become a possibility,” Santacaterina said about starting at No. 4 on the depth chart and moving up the ladder.

Being thrust into the start-

Northern Illinois quarterback Daniel Santacaterina carries the ball March 24 during a practice at Huskie Stadium. The Geneva grad has been sharing first-team quarterback reps during spring practices. ing spot as a freshman because of injuries is something that Graham also is familiar with.

In 2015, injuries to Hare and Maddie meant that Graham started four games as a redshirt freshman, earning wins over Buffalo and Western Michigan and suffering losses to Ohio and Boise State.

In a game against Toledo

in which Hare suffered a season-ending Achilles injury, Graham helped lead the comeback in a 32-27 road win.

Graham, a 6-foot-1, 210-pounder from Wheaton Warrenville South, once again took over as the starter when Hare went down in the second game of the 2016 season, but lost his spot to Maddie after

a lackluster performance in a loss against Western Illinois.

When Maddie got injured late against Bowling Green, Graham started against Toledo and Eastern Michigan. “[The last two seasons] were definitely up and down, but I think I gained a lot of experience,” Graham said.

“Learning from Drew and

Maddie was definitely a big help for me. ... I’m working on being more consistent, pocket presence and good feet and leading – leading the team the best I can.”

In the game against Toledo in 2016, Graham went 24 for 43 for 227 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in a 31-24 loss. “[Graham and Santacaterina] were both recruited here because they can do and execute our system, and you’ve seen them both do that at different times through the past two years,” NIU coach Rod Carey said. “They both run well, and they both throw well.

It’s just a matter of reps and time and getting experience.”

There was a glimmer of hope for Maddie and the Huskies – he was originally listed on the spring roster – but they found out March 23 that his waiver for a potential sixth year was declined by the NCAA. “They offered an explanation back to the waiver, and the waiver is 70 pages long,” Carey said. “[It] came down to a bunch of legal jargon and what they thought.”

NIU quarterbacks coach Craig Harmon said he wants Graham and Santacaterina to take better command of the offense this spring and said they both did well in the games they played in the past.

Graham and Santacaterina have been splitting duties with the first-string offense so far this spring, Carey said.

Redshirt freshman Marcus Childers was getting most of the third-string reps during team drills March 25. True freshman Rodney Hall, who graduated early to participate in the spring season, is a highly touted quarterback. Carey said he’s still unsure whether Hall will redshirt this coming season.

During the 2014 season, Hare, Maddie and Matt McIntosh were competing for the starting spot, with the three splitting duties early in the season before Hare won the job.

Hare helped lead the Huskies to a win over Bowling Green in the MAC Championship.

“You’d always love to have one guy,” Carey said. “Every team would, but we’ll see when we get there.”

St. Charles Jank ambassador preps to pass torch KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com The first recipient of the Guitar of St. Charles Jank Award, George Ressinger, is warming up for his final act as the community’s Jank ambassador: passing the baton – or the guitar, as it were – to the next recipient of the prestigious award.

The Guitar of St. Charles Jank Award celebrates the artistic diversity and achievements of St. Charles’ young people. Ressinger’s family, friends and teachers got behind his nomination for the award in 2016 for his outstanding embodiment of these qualities.

“George represents everything this award stands for: consistency, integrity, diversity and perseverance,”

said Steve Douglas, a Jank Guitar Store board member, in a news release.

The award celebrates the artistic diversity and achievements of St. George Charles’ young people Ressinger who contribute to the community’s cultural landscape by broadening local tastes and bringing awareness of the global musical arts community to St. Charles, stated the release.

“Art provides us with inherent value on a global scale – both individually and as a whole community,” Douglas said. “The thing that separates this award from others is that it’s focused on that complete package. Not just the artistic ability or the academic

achievement, but the synergy of the two and how that is expressed in an individual’s participation in society.”

Selected by a panel of judges, Ressinger received the Guitar of St. Charles Jank Award and ambassadorship for his impressive leadership and achievement in both academic and artistic pursuits, stated the release.

His academic resume boasts a 4.55 GPA, while he participates in everything from jazz choir to Model United Nations. As of spring 2017, Ressinger has spent nearly a year working with Chicago physicists at Fermilab, the release stated.

In his spare time, Ressinger plays in a band, builds guitars, volunteers, and even designed and built an inertial electrostatic nuclear fusion reactor – becoming one of fewer than

100 amateur physicists ever to fuse the atom, stated the release.

As Jank ambassador, Ressinger has met with local business and government leaders, advanced his peer-to-peer musical mentoring and been a public voice for arts and culture among Tri-Cities’ youth. With 12 weeks left on his tenure as Jank ambassador, Ressinger will play an integral role on the panel of judges selecting the next recipient of the Guitar of St. Charles Jank Award.

Mushrooms are one of those crazy foods that people either love or hate: mushrooms are neither fruit nor vegetable, have weird textures, and grow in dead and decaying plant matter.

But fungus or not, mushrooms have been part of the human diet for thousands of years and continue to rise in popularity.

As interest in food has become trendier and the local food movement has grown, so has the interest in local, unusual mushrooms. Today most areas have multiple mushroom growers that sell to nearby restaurants, markets and to the public. Additionally, many of these farms offer classes or workshops to teach an aspiring fungivore the art and science behind growing their own.

Wild mushrooms are most common in the spring and fall months but cultivated and dried mushrooms can be found throughout the year.

The specifications of choosing fresh mushrooms depend mostly on the species but overall, choose those with unblemished caps and smell earthy, never fishy. Refrigerate in a single layer, covered loosely with damp paper towels, allowing for air to circulate around the mushrooms.

FAMILY

BEYOND EAR BUDS AND EYEROLLS

Nine ways to make travel with your teen fun for everyone in the family

By AVIVA GOLDFARB The Washington Post The low point of the trip wasn’t when my husband, Andrew, and I hiked into the Grand Canyon without our teens, because Solomon and Celia opted to stay behind in our tiny cabin.

As insane as it seemed for them to miss their chance to explore the most spectacular natural phenomenon our country has to offer, that morning, we chose to let it go.

The worst moment had been the day before, when our kids’ undisguised misery while visiting a mitten-shaped rock formation in Arizona sucked all joy out of a hike. It led to hours of uncomfortable silence and passive-aggressive muttering – in both the front and back seats – on the long car ride to the North Rim that followed.

We learned some crucial lessons on that trip that have improved family vacations since. For example, just because a trip sounds dreamy to Andrew and me – in that case, daily hikes through the astonishing natural treasures of Utah and Arizona – doesn’t mean it’s also our kids’ idea of a great time. From their view, walking over rocks and through canyons day after day became excruciatingly boring.

Since then, we’ve had some fantastic trips with Solomon and Celia, now 19 and 17, including an awesome adventure to colonial cities, volcanoes, a “Monkey Island” and a remote beach in Nicaragua last month, and a driving loop around gorgeous, hipster Oregon the year before. The tweaks to how we approach family travel have dramatically reduced tension. But we know we’ve also gotten a bit lucky in terms of favorable weather, great activities and being able to afford to take these trips.

We have friends who have returned early from vacations because the tension with their teens got so high, and some who have opted to travel without their kids. But through trial and error, we have found an approach to traveling with our teens that seems to suit us all. Here are nine things that we have tried to incorporate into our getaways. I hope they help make your family vacations more enjoyable and less infuriating.

1. Involve them in planning. Depending on your kids’ enthusiasm for this task, this simply may mean giving them choices between several destina-

But even giving them a small amount of control can help them feel like they are part of the process and, therefore, elevate their enthusiasm about the trip and activities.

Diana Beckman of Alexandria, Virginia, has her kids rank their top three activities for each destination.

They make sure to get to everyone’s top choice, and try to get to others, with the expectation there are no guarantees beyond the top picks. She finds this ensures the kids have better attitudes about participating in everyone else’s top priorities, because they know they’ll get the chance to enjoy their top choice(s), too.

2. Set expectations ahead of time and express your needs. When Beckman’s

kids were 12 and 16, she took them on a road trip from Nebraska to Wyoming. On the day of the longest drive, Beckman prepared her children by telling them ahead of time it would be a long day for all of them and she would need their help navigating and keeping her entertained while she drove. After that discussion, both kids were fully engaged, checking on her frequently and offering her shoulder rubs and snacks. That eight-hour car ride was an unexpected high point of the trip.

3. Have some separate time or space.

We enjoy each other’s company, but it also helps, especially on long trips, to be able to retreat from each other for a few hours. When possible, we choose a lower-priced hotel so we can get two rooms. The time apart helps

all of us better appreciate each other’s company.

4. Don’t make every activity mandatory. Minimize the “shoulds” and

“musts.” If your kids are old enough, let them choose whether they want to participate in some outings. When they don’t feel forced, they are more likely to join us for most activities. If your kids are not old enough to be left alone and you have at least two adults on the trip, divide and conquer when necessary.

5. Leave plenty of downtime. Teens usually like to have time to relax, check social media or just be alone.

We have found at least a few unstructured hours each day, usually in the afternoon, keeps moodiness at bay and makes the scheduled outings more fun for all of us, so we try hard not to overschedule. This has the added benefit of leaving time for spontaneity, and for Andrew and me to do something together without the kids, too.

6. Travel with a peer pack. Vacationing with other families with kids of similar ages, whether they are friends or family members, can make trips more fun for everyone. On New Year’s Eve at Morgan’s Rock Eco-Lodge in Nicaragua, we met two families from New York and Montreal who travel together every winter break so both the kids and adults have stimulating companions. Alternatively, consider inviting the kids’ friends or traveling to places where other teenagers also are likely to be staying. That way, they – and you – can make new friends.

7. Don’t try to control everything, including their experiences. We try

to keep our mouths shut and let the

kids do things their own way, even if it seems like the wrong way to us.

On our last night in Nicaragua, we planned to watch the sunset from the beach as a family. But as the sun was disappearing behind the horizon, Solomon still had not joined us. I was tempted to find him and call him over before the sun disappeared, but I resisted. It turned out he was on the beach, happily observing scuttling hermit crabs. We each enjoyed the sunset in our own ways.

8. Put your fears aside. We let the kids go off on their own in a new place, even though it sometimes makes us nervous. On New Year’s Eve, Solomon and Celia met some other teenagers at our hotel and wandered down the pitch-black beach after midnight while we still were listening to the band. A few of the other parents went searching for the kids, and although we were a little concerned – is Celia safe? Will Solomon dive headfirst into the shallow waves and break his neck?

– we stayed put. At their ages, they are operating independently most of the time, and it is not fair to put on the shackles just because it is a family vacation. As they have gotten older, we have chosen to trust their judgment, even in unfamiliar settings, and even when it causes us some anxiety.

9. Set boundaries about technology.

For us, this means not getting international phone plans in foreign countries. That way we can all disconnect so we can reconnect. Many families find it helps to decide and discuss in advance whether and where they’ll use technology while on vacation. For Andrew and me, vacation is a time to step away from the smartphones, so rather than nagging during the vacation, we discuss boundaries ahead of time. Admittedly, that has boomeranged on me: the kids sometimes have to remind me to stop taking notes and photos with my phone during meals.

As Solomon and Celia get older, we acutely are aware we may not have many more vacations left with just the four of us. So we are willing to be flexible about where and how we travel, hoping they’ll continue to want to explore the world with us, even where the WiFi is spotty.

Don’t argue with your brother Dr. Wallace: I’m 12 and have a 10-year-old brother and we both live with our mother. Our parents are divorced. My problem is that I get blamed for everything my brother does wrong.

I’ll give you an example. Five minutes ago, he got angry because our puppy wanted to play with me rather than him. Did he walk away and say that he’d play with the puppy later? No! Instead, he ran to his room and slammed the door. This caused a picture hanging on the wall to fall, breaking the glass and scratching the picture.

Was my brother punished for his temper tantrum? No! I’m sent to my room for “aggravating” my little brother. It’s not my fault that the dog enjoys my company more than my brother’s.

I called my dad and explained everything to him and he said to ignore my brother when he has a bad temper. That’s very hard to do. Do you have any better advice?

Remember, this guy is a little monster. – Sissy, Waco, Tex. Sissy: It appears that Mother Nature has decided that 10-yearold brothers will always pester older sisters. I don’t know why, except maybe it teaches sisters the meaning of tolerance. Thank goodness this stage doesn’t last too long (though I realize even one day seems too long right now.) Sooner or later, almost certainly, the two of you will be good buddies. Honest!

Try hard to share with your brother and include him in some of your activities; and, even though it might be difficult, give him a word or two of praise every day. And, above all, don’t argue with him.

No one said it was fun for a 12-year-old girl to have a 10-yearold brother, but when you’re older you’ll be glad he’s around! Just wait and see.

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace Dr. Wallace: Tattoos are in. I’d like to get the tattoo of a butterfly on my left shoulder and my boyfriend is pushing for me to get one.

But I haven’t done so yet because I’m concerned about getting an STD infection from the tattoo needle. My boyfriend says it’s impossible to get a sexually transmitted disease from being tattooed.

I’m not so sure about that.

What is the truth? – Adella, Las

Vegas, Nev. Adella: People can become

infected with an STD by sharing needles for any reason, including doing drugs, ear piercing, or tattooing!

Of course, all tattoo artists say they use new needles for every tattoo they perform.

I’m sure most of them do. But the risk is still there.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 13-year-old girl and my mother is an alcoholic. She used to get drunk every day. When I was younger I thought all mothers got drunk, but as I grew older I found out this wasn’t true. I couldn’t invite my friends over because my mother would embarrass me.

Then one day my father and I convinced her to get help and she did. She missed my birthday because she was getting treatment, but when she finished, she gave me my best present ever -- a sober mother. I love her very much and consider her my hero. I am so happy that I now have a “real” mom.

I’m the happiest girl in the world.

– Happy, St. Paul, Minn.

Happy: I share in your joy! I

wish your family, and especially you, joy forevermore. Your letter

made my day!

Dr. Wallace: I’m 16, and like

most teenage girls, I’m concerned about being overweight, especially now that it’s almost “bikini” time.

My school counselor called me into her office today and said that some girls at school are concerned because I’m so thin. They told the counselor that I might be anorexic.

I don’t eat a lot, but I’m sure that I don’t have an eating disorder. My counselor called my mom and told her that she was concerned about my “slimness,” and advised mom to get me checked out.

My mom asked me to write to you and ask how we would know if I had a disorder. – Nameless, Roch-

ester, N.Y. Nameless: Answer these ques-

tions honestly. A “yes” answer to any one of these questions indicates that you could be suffering from anorexia or bulimia and should seek evaluation from a professional (doctor, psychologist, social worker).

• Do I restrict my intake to less than 500 calories a day?

• Do I skip two or more meals a day?

• Do I eat a lot of food within two hours, while feeling out of control?

• Do I use laxatives or water pills to lose or control weight?

• Do I exercise excessively or vomit?

• Do I avoid social functions, or stay home from school or work, just to keep an eating or exercise schedule?

If you do need professional assistance, obtain it soon. Both anorexia and bulimia are serious eating disorders and if not overcome, can lead to permanent damage or even death in extreme cases.

Graciousness key to art of accepting compliment Dear Abby: I’m DEAR ABBY a young man in my mid-20s, and Jeanne I have a deeper Phillips voice than my stature would typically suggest. Close friends even get thrown off when I talk to them if they haven’t seen me in a while. I’m fairly happy with it, and people often ask if I do radio or voice acting. I run into problems, though, when strangers comment on it. If someone says, “Wow, has anyone ever told you that you have a great voice?” or something of that nature, my first impulse is to make a joke about it. If I’m not quick enough on my feet, however, I often catch myself saying something like, “Yeah, I get that a lot,” or, “I know,” both of which sound egotistical, and I feel embarrassed afterward. Is there a way to acknowledge the compliment that doesn’t come off so pretentious? – Not Quick on My Feet Dear Not Quick: Yes, accept the compliment graciously by saying, “Thank you.”

Dear Abby: My husband has been sick and unable to work for several years due to a debilitating illness. He has been home taking care of the kids while I have been working full time.

We have lost everything because of the financial burden of his illness. I am very grateful to my parents for helping us financially during this tough time. Unfortunately, I believe some of my family think my husband is faking his illness.

This is hurtful since they have known him for a long time (we’ve been married 12 years).

My sister recently asked him in a rather nasty way why he doesn’t just go get a job, and I’m beginning to think that my parents share her sentiment.

He already feels guilty and worthless for not being able to provide for our family. It’s coming to the point where I just want to get away from them and cut off contact. Should I address the issue or just let it go? – Sick in the South Dear Sick: By all means address the issue.

What your sister did was both cruel and out of line. Ask your parents if those are their sentiments as well, because you are concerned they might be. If they are having doubts about your husband’s physical problems, offer to share medical information that proves his health problems are all too real. Because your parents have been helping out financially, it might help to clear the air.

Dear Abby: My son just got some devastating news. He found out that the son he has raised for 20 years isn’t his. We will always love the young man regardless. The thing is, how do we help our son to overcome losing a child we all thought was his? – Heartbroken in Texas Dear Heartbroken: Regardless of who contributed the sperm that fertilized the egg that became your grandson, the person your son raised IS his son. The bond is there. Your son is the only father he has ever known. If you move forward from there and don’t deviate from that path, you should all be able to deal with this in a positive manner.

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

ASK THE DOCTORS / ELIZABETH KO AND EVE GLAZIER ty good, try it again. Now, let’s talk about stress-reduction techniques.

Fortunately, with the advent of wellness programs in many workplaces, stress management is now taken seriously. Instruction begins with the basics – no smoking, limit caffeine, drink less alcohol, cut down on screen time, get more sleep, take time to exercise and eat a balanced diet. If you recognize any of your own behaviors in that list, consider making a change.

Thanks to the mainstreaming of practices like meditation, tai chi and yoga, all of which have been proven to measurably reduce stress when practiced regularly, groups and classes are available practically everywhere.

Whether it’s at your gym, a community center, a senior citizens center or even on YouTube, there’s a class that’s right for you. When it comes to exercise, don’t forget about oldies but goodies like a brisk walk or a gentle jog. You’ll burn off some steam, work up some endorphins and quite likely feel refreshed.

And don’t forget about fun. In a task-oriented world that has become fixated on success and results, doing something for the simple enjoyment of it has somehow fallen out of favor.

In the same vein, reaching out to friends and family – in person, not via text or Facebook – can help you feel less stressed. Research shows that isolation is as toxic as some diseases, and the therapy can be as simple as a “hello.”

Dear Doctor: News reports are saying that researchers have figured out how stress causes a heart attack, and that it all starts in the brain.

I quit smoking, I exercise and I’ve switched to a healthy diet. But how am I going to control my brain?

Dear Reader: The physical connection between the mind and the heart is something that, even in the absence of scientific data, humans have long intuited. Just take a look at our language. Feelings and events can be heartbreaking, heart-stopping and heart-rending.

The guy everyone’s crushing on is a heartthrob. When it doesn’t work out, your heart aches.

Now a paper published in The Lancet offers scientific proof of what everyone from Shakespeare to Beyonce has been saying all along – emotional stress directly affects the heart.

Drawing from two studies, researchers found that when people had high levels of activity in the amygdala, which is the region of the brain that telegraphs emotions like fear, stress and dread, they were more likely to develop heart disease.

Participants with a hyperactive amygdala had more inflammation in their arteries, and the region of their bone marrow that creates red blood cells was more active.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among adults, not only in the United States, but in the world. In 2013, one-third of recorded deaths in the U.S. were due to cardiovascular disease. All of which makes managing the mind-heart connection even more vital.

But how? You can begin right now by taking a slow, deep breath. If that felt pret-

6 habits of organized people

By NICOLE Anzia The Washington Post People often lament that despite their best efforts, they just cannot seem to get, and stay, organized. Even though they’ve been working at it diligently and have tried many strategies, nothing seems to stick. So how do organized people stay organized? Over the years, I’ve noticed they have six habits in common. Here they are: • Keep it simple: Elaborate organizational systems are hard to maintain and not worth the effort most of the time. It’s not necessary to color-code file folders by subject or activities on a calendar by relative. The effort far outweighs the benefits. Trying to keep your child’s toy reptiles separated from his toy mammals is also not worth your time. A bin for plastic toys will do. If the way you’ve organized something is too complicated and requires too many steps, it will be frustrating to maintain, which is the opposite of what you want.

• Develop routines: Develop a morning or evening routine for tasks that happen daily or weekly. Maybe you open the mail every night after dinner

or update your calendar and to-do list each morning before breakfast. If your mornings are hectic, make sure your workbag is packed before you go to bed. Recycle yesterday’s newspaper each morning when you get a new one. Pay your bills every Saturday morning. Regular maintenance and short spurts of organizing will save you a lot of time later. Do your best to stick with your routine. But if you skip a day or two, that’s fine. Just try to resume as soon as you can.

• Have a place for everything, and put everything in its place: This sounds easy and obvious, but it is actually neither. Establish a spot for a specific category of stuff, because it’s impossible to put things away if you don’t know where they belong. Make sure the spot is convenient, practical and has enough space to accommodate the items you want to put there. If your dresser drawers are overflowing or there is no room to hang clothes in your closet, then your clothes don’t have a “place.” Likewise, if your filing cabinet is crammed and you can’t fit new papers inside, you’ll be less likely to file. Also, don’t set something down temporarily. Take a few extra seconds

to put it where it belongs. Every time.

• Keep a current and detailed to-do list: Even though it may seem as if organized people manage their lives with little effort, it takes a fair amount of planning. One of the secrets is keeping detailed to-do lists for daily tasks and longer-term projects. If you prefer to write things down, a small notebook works best because it keeps everything together and allows you to reference old tasks. Avoid using loose sheets of paper that can be lost, and carry the notebook with you. If you use the tasks or notes features on your phone or computer, keep your lists current and consolidate them with your paper lists regularly. Give yourself deadlines if that helps you to complete items.

• Don’t get bogged down by perfectionism: There is a common misperception that all organized people are perfectionists. Although this may ring true for some, many organized people realize they can’t possibly do everything perfectly and get everything done. They prioritize tasks and learn where and how to take shortcuts and how to complete tasks quickly. They don’t get mired in projects that will be

impossible to finish on time. In other words, they don’t let perfection get in the way of progress.

• Toss things daily and purge routinely: Organized people don’t wait for a free weekend or an upcoming move to get their homes in order. They are constantly throwing things away, reevaluating their possessions and tidying their houses. They may take five minutes each night to clear papers off the kitchen counter or 10 minutes while dinner is cooking to clean out the refrigerator. When they return home with groceries, they quickly scan items in their pantry to toss any expired or nearly empty containers and clean off their desks at night’s end. Organizing is not a separate event. It is a part of their day.

As you dig out of the chaos of the holidays and begin to think about how to be more organized and efficient this year, try to make one or two of these strategies your standard practice. If you can do that, you’ll be on your way to an organized year.

Special to The Washington Post

that you can’t print receipts immediately after you receive them – and many people can’t – you and your spouse might want to create an alternative plan. One idea is to forward all electronic receipts to both of you via email with an agreed-upon subject line such as “Charitable Donation Receipt” so that they can be easily found and printed later. This will also make it easy to search for all electronic receipts early next year.

Other people choose to keep track of their donations electronically using a document that they update each time they make a donation. Creating a document that both you and your spouse can access and update works well for many people.

And yet another idea to make tracking your cash donations easy is to commit to using only one credit card to make them. This way you’ll be able to see all of your charitable donations on your year-end statement.

Of course, this option isn’t applicable to merchandise that you donate, but because those donations are often infrequent, it should be relatively simple to store those receipts with other tax documents.

• Get help from an app: There are

several popular apps that can help you track charitable donations and determine the fair-market value of merchandise you’re giving away.

ItsDeductible by TurboTax, available on iOS devices, is free and seems to be the most popular option. In addition to helping with the above tasks, this app can also tell you whether an item or expense is actually deductible. IDonatedIt is another iOS app that tracks goods you donate to charity. It costs $3 and allows you to keep a list of items you give away, along with photos and receipts. A third option, Donation Assistant, is available for both Android and iOS systems. This app allows you to do everything the other two apps do, but it also has a database of more than 1,300 commonly donated items to give a fair-market value of your donations.

As with all organizing challenges, consistency is vital. But to be consistent, it’s important that you choose the right system for your household.

Commit to a system now and try to stick with it.

Step 2: Begin building your pattern.

I chose to run a series of large diamonds down the center, but you can do squares, chevron stripes, smaller diamonds – anything that inspires you. I eyeballed this, but feel free to use a tape measure to be more precise.

By HOLLEY SIMMONS The Washington Post

Step 6: Allow your paint to dry fully, preferably overnight.

Step 3: Build upon your design with zigzags, triangles, crisscrosses, etc. A quick Google Images search for “graphic rug” will return plenty of ideas.

Step 4: Use scissors to trim any overlapping tape to ensure sharp lines.

Step 7: Slowly remove the tape to reveal your completed rug. Use a foam brush to carefully fill in any gaps or make corrections.

Step 1: Fold the rug in half by length and width to determine the center point. You may also use a tape measure if your rug isn’t pliable enough to bend. Mark it with a piece of tape.

Photos by Amy King / The Washington Post

Here’s what you’ll need: • Natural-fiber rug, such as sisal or jute (Paint will adhere better to natural fibers than to synthetic materials.)

• Up to four matte paint colors of your choice (I used inexpensive interior house paint.)

• One foam paintbrush for each color • Painters tape • Scissors • Measuring tape (optional)

Step 5: Once all of your tape is down, it’s time to start painting.

With your floor protected, work from the center out so you don’t smudge along the way. Dip your foam brush in the first color and dab it on in a rapid motion. Be sure not to oversaturate the brush because excess paint can work its way under the tape.

It’s not for a high-traffic area, but a DIY painted rug can add both color and texture at a low price.

Thursday, March 30, 2017 • KCChronicle.com / The Herald

The price of some patterned area rugs can make you want to crawl under them and weep. And though the materials and time needed to handknot a quality rug often justify the cost, not everyone has that kind of money to drop.

Enter your neighborhood paint store.

Treating a neutral, natural-fiber rug as a blank canvas will yield completely customizable results and save you bundles. (My 4-by-6-foot sisal ended up costing under $150, all materials included.) Of course there’s no way your guests will confuse a painted rug with a hand-knotted original, but it’s better than having a bare floor or a rug in a solid color.

“It’s important to layer textures and patterns in different scales in a room,” said Mark Riddle, a design associate at Room & Board in Washington. “If everything is too similar, it causes discord in the room.”

Plus, a patterned rug can help influence the rest of your design choices.

“Take one of the colors in your rug and pull it into a piece of artwork or a pillow to draw it off the floor,” Riddle said. “That way, you’re not just drawn to one thing: Your eye is always wandering, which makes the room more interesting.”

A word of advice once you’ve completed your masterpiece: Because the paint can wear off over time, it’s best to place your rug beneath a table or in another rarely traversed area.

Entertaining in the age of social media

By JURA KONCIUS The Washington Post On New Year’s Eve, my husband and I made a special effort to create a festive table for our small dinner group. I posted an image of it on Instagram as we waited for guests to arrive.

But I forgot that one invited couple was supposed to be a surprise for the other. Before anyone set foot in our door, my eagle-eyed friend checked her feed and called me. “Why is your table set for six people?” she said.

“Who else is joining us?”

In this age of 24/7 tweets, snaps and Facebook tags, entertaining can be a minefield of innocent oversharing, hurt feelings or spoilers. And it’s not going away. Hosting or attending any social event these days has digital implications, whether you grew up sharing your life on multiple platforms or just stick to Facebook.

“Everyone accepts the fact that social media is here to stay and we can’t be so sensitive. It’s just added another layer to socializing and interacting with people,” said Carla McDonald, founder of the Salonnière (thesalonniere.com), an online magazine dedicated to entertaining. McDonald, who has attended hundreds of glitzy parties, also hosts plenty at her Austin and Nantucket, Mass., homes.

In the design world, a constant stream of Instagram posts of artful coffee table vignettes, perfectly puffed chocolate souffles and abundant flower arrangements are dishy postcards from beautiful lives. “Posting photos of dinner parties is just part of life now. Everybody does it,” said Michael Devine, a New York designer of fabric and china and author of “An Invitation to the Garden: Seasonal Enter-

taining Outdoors.” “Right now our Gramercy Park place is going to be in a magazine, so we have to ask guests, ‘No photos, please.’”

Devine said some online postings may disappoint friends or followers who weren’t invited to the party. He called it “the Princess Diana problem.”

“You can’t have it both ways. You can’t be both public and private at the same time. You have to decide,” said Devine, who also likes to entertain at his Kinderhook country house and writes a lifestyle blog (thedevinelife. blogspot.com). “But culturally, I think we are working through this.”

Joseph Ireland, a Washington designer, says people are used to regularly sharing things that they find stylish and interesting. “These days, people want to show off what their ideas are or what inspires them. But I think it’s probably better not to mention where you are,” Ireland said.

All this focus on food, tablecloths and china has created an interest in the art of the party. “I think it’s upped the party game,” McDonald said. “As people plan their parties, they think of visual vignettes that are fun and also a photo opportunity. It has made people more aware of the visual components of a party, creating an Instagram-worthy cocktail setup or buffet.”

Devine said the pressure is on.

“Not only are we doing a table setting so everyone enjoys it, you also have this other layer. The flowers have to be perfect because the camera is not as forgiving as your eyes are. There are little things you don’t want in a photo that you can get away with in reality.”

We want to help you navigate your party postings in consideration of your hosts.

Social media etiquette tips Here are some tips from Carla McDonald, founder of the Salonnière (thesalonniere. com), an online magazine dedicated to entertaining on social-media etiquette: ■ No phones at the table. “I think a cellphone is like a cigarette. If you are going to use one, you need to excuse yourself from the table and go outside,” McDonald said.

■ Be respectful. No photograph is worth making someone angry or upset. It’s not worth ruining a friendship over an Instagram picture. Always err on the side of good manners.

■ Ask first. “I think when you are in some-

one’s home, you should ask permission to take a photo,” McDonald said. “There are always nice ways to ask, such as, ‘This is so gorgeous. I am going to post this, if you don’t mind.’”

■ No children. Make it a policy never to photograph or post pictures of children without explicit permission.

■ Learn from a bad hair day and move on. “If you look bad in a photo, just untag it quietly,” McDonald said. “If I think I look bad, I always figure that I need to get a facial or maybe get some more sleep.”

The science of wrinkled clothes THE JAPAN NEWS/YOMIURI

TOKYO – We can remove wrinkles in the fabric of our clothes by ironing them. We usually take this process for granted, but why do we get wrinkles in our clothes and why do they disappear?

According to Natsuko Fukuchi, a manager at Kao Corp.’s Lifestyle Research Center in Tokyo, wrinkles occur at the molecular level in the fabric of our clothing. Molecules are connected to each other because of forces of attraction called hydrogen bonds. If hydrogen bonds come into contact with water, they loosen. Once the moisture disappears, they form again.

The reason why wrinkles form when laundry is hung out to dry is that hydrogen bonds form again after molecules loosen and become misaligned.

Ironing reverses this process, and realigns the molecules.

A steam iron dampens the fabric and loosens the hydrogen bonds.

Then pressure is applied to align the molecules. Finally, the heat causes the water to evaporate and the hydrogen bonds to reconnect. Using a steam iron, the above three steps occur almost simultaneously.

The hotter the iron is, the easier it is for the moisture inside the fabric to evaporate, and the faster the hydrogen bonds recover. In short, wrinkles disappear faster when ironing at higher temperatures.

However, if your clothes are made from material that is not heat-resistant, they might get damaged, shrink or become shiny. Checking the care instructions on your clothing tags is essential.

Wrinkle remover, which is sprayed onto fabric when ironing, loosens hydrogen bonds. The spray also makes the fabric less prone to wrinkle in the future by leaving a coat of resin on it when dried.

“Wrinkle-free shirts” fix the molecules in place using chemicals or other methods. This makes it harder for the hydrogen bonds to loosen when the shirts are washed and makes them less likely to become wrinkled.

The key to ironing is to loosen the hydrogen bonds effectively. You can add moisture either by using the spray or steam functions.

Given the ease of steam irons, many people use them to iron 100 percent cotton shirts, but the Tokyo Cleaning Association recommends using the spray instead of steam. The water droplets from a sprayer are larger, and adhere well to the cloth.

The moisture remains on the fabric,

and makes it easier for the hydrogen bonds to loosen.

Since cotton is highly resistant to heat, the temperature of the iron should be used on a high setting, according to the directions on clothing tags. Also, the iron should be used on a dry setting, pressed onto the clothing and smoothed along it in one direction.

On the other hand, the advantage to using steam is that the droplets are small, so they can penetrate deeper into the fabric. Steam is ideal for giving woolen knit products a soft finish.

For such garments, use a medium temperature, hold the iron slightly above the fabric, and apply the steam to the clothing.

Theoretically, wrinkles and pleats in clothes are identical. The hydrogen bonds in woolen slacks will loosen if they get wet in the rain. “To make a crease in slacks, use your iron’s steam mode, put another piece of cloth in between the iron and the garment and press the iron onto it firmly,” an association official said.

Edward Ugel, a sales and marketing expert, said, “Worrying about gray hair when your weight’s soaring out of control is like mowing your lawn while your house is on fire.”

Yesterday, we had a deal in which a bad trump break was mitigated by a lucky lie in a side suit. Here is another. South was in six hearts. What did he do after winning the first trick with the diamond ace?

North might have jump-rebid four hearts with his six-loser hand. South immediately bid what he hoped he could make. He knew that moving slower probably wasn’t going to help him, so he kept the defenders in the dark.

South had a possible loser in each red suit. However, if the trumps were behaving, he rated to take 12 tricks via four spades, five hearts, one diamond and two clubs. But after cashing his heart ace and leading a second heart, West’s club discard was a blow. Now declarer had to eliminate all of his diamond losers before East could ruff in and lead a diamond to his partner’s queen. How could South do that?

The only chance was to find East with four spades. Then if the suit was played without loss, when East ruffed the fifth spade, declarer would be discarding his last diamond.

If East had four spades to his partner’s two, he was twice as likely to hold the spade jack. So South bravely played a spade to his nine. When it won, he cashed the spade ace, led a club to the king and pitched his three low diamonds on the spades to sneak home.

Hello my name is Miss Misty!

I am a very sweet and active girl.

If you met me, you wouldn't believe that I am 9 years old! I still act like a puppy. I love to cuddle with people and my stuffed toys. I also LOVE walks and am always curious about what everyone is doing. I love to be part of what is going on! I enjoy my food and am currently working on gaining some weight. My past life wasn't too great at all, but I never hold a grudge and still have so much love to give. I am wishing and hoping to find a forever home now to enjoy with someone who will treat me like I am part of their family.

Will you make my wish come true?
