Fifty years ago, Jean Divine of Aurora became Waubonsee Community College’s first employee.

Sandy Bressner sbressner@shawmedia.com

our first employee, Jean Divine. Mrs. Divine and Mr. Von Ohlen remain in the area and have both attended college events earlier this year. Dr. Nelson’s career took him out of state. However, he has also contacted us this year to offer his congratulations.”

Divine knew she was going to be a part of something big. She also knew it would be a challenge.

She previously had worked in the East Aurora Public School District and was a divorcee with three young children.

“Fortunately my mom lived with me and helped out a lot with the kids,” she said. “It was a busy time because everything was so new to so many people. So we had to work a lot, and there were some long days and nights. It was

quite the experience though. I wouldn’t change it for anything.”

As for favorite memories, Divine has so many that she doesn’t know where to begin her storytelling.

“My favorite parts? I don’t know.

There were so many, and I am just honored to be a part of all this,” she said.

“Working with the board and president and being busy all the time meant a lot of socializing and getting to know people. I liked that. That was a great experience.”

Divine even took to studying herself, occasionally taking a course when she could fit it into her busy schedule.

When the college opened, 75 percent of its students were part time, so technically Divine was one of them.

All three of her children also even-

tually took classes.

“I was busy, but I still was able to take some classes,” she said. “I enjoyed it.”

When Waubonsee first opened, The Doors had just released their self-titled debut album. Now, you don’t even have to open your front door to take a class.

The college offers close to 200 online courses and delivers fully accredited associate degrees and certificates to students in an online format.

It’s difficult to comprehend the impact the college has had on so many in 50 years.

“I’d definitely say we’ve come a long way from where we first started,” Divine said. “But it was worth every minute I spent there. I really enjoyed everything about it.”

Waubonsee’s 50 Hours of Caring a way to give back to communities

By VIOLET MARQUARDT editorial@kcchronicle.com In an effort to celebrate its 50th anniversary, Waubonsee Community College launched its 50 Hours of Caring initiative.

The initiative, which started on Aug. 1, 2016, allows the community college to give back to its supporting communities.

“This is an initiative that allows every faculty member, administrator and student to give back to the communities that give so much to us [at Waubonsee],” said Mary Tosch, Stu-

dent Life manager.

The goal of the initiative is for Waubonsee members to donate 50 hours of their time to volunteer sites within the community. Each participant has until May 1 to complete the number of hours.

“Participants can even join teams to help them spread out the hours, depending on your schedule,” Tosch said.

“I’m on a team myself with some other faculty members, and it’s a lot of fun.”

Waubonsee has listed more than 160 volunteer sites for participants to choose from; however, participants may volunteer wherever they see fit.

Some sites, such as Mission Possible,

a Christian health care organization, and Boy Scouts of America, have more than 150 hours logged by Waubonsee students.

“We’re doing it on an honor system, so students just log whatever hours they have completed,” Tosch said. “A lot are doing it to give back, but a lot of them have also volunteered at these places before, so it’s just a continuation for them.”

After all hours are submitted on May 1, the college will host a celebration of its anniversary on May 4. Although the exact details of the event are not official, Tosch said there are

some plans to recognize those who have completed their service hours.

“I think those who participate will get a certificate of participation just recognizing their efforts,” Tosch said.

“I look forward to announcing the total number of hours that Waubonsee has been able to do on the fourth of May.” Having been in the community for five decades, Waubonsee Community College felt it necessary to give back to the communities that have helped the college prosper over the years. The 50 Hours Caring Initiative has allowed students, faculty, administrators and more a way to give back.

Jean Divine is taking it easy these days.

The 96-year-old Aurora resident might not be as active as she used to be, but there was a time when she was part of one of the most exciting things to come to Sugar Grove.

Divine was the first employee hired at Waubonsee Community College. She served as administrative assistant to the president of the college from 1966 through 1986.

“I’ve got a lot of memories from that time, and most of them are good ones,” she said. “You can’t imagine the feeling of being part of what was a piece of dirt that grew into a mansion. It’s remarkable.”

When the college first opened its doors, it became home to 1,603 students. Today, it’s serving more than 12,000 students each semester.

Its official 50-year anniversary is Sept. 11, as classes originally began on that date in 1967.

Two days later, Divine will celebrate her 97th birthday.

“It took a lot of hard work to get things going, and a lot of people worked together,” she said. “It seems like just yesterday. It’s wonderful to have been a part of something like this, and people were good to me and we had some marvelous students.”

Dr. Christine J. Sobek, who is the president of the college, is extremely pleased that former employees such as Divine are still around to celebrate 50 years.

“We are thrilled that several key individuals are still with us to witness firsthand the results of their work,” she said. “Our founding board of trustees chair, Dale Von Ohlen, our founding president, Dr. James Nelson, and

Waubonsee Community College student Alex Browere loves the outdoors and is focused on a career in the U.S. national parks.

Waubonsee student Alex Browere works toward career with U.S. national parks KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com As a child, Geneva High School graduate Alex Browere would camp with his mom and siblings at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore on North Manitou Island in Michigan. There, he discovered the wonder of nature and biology that would form the foundation of a life dedicated to national parks.

Browere is being recognized as a “Waubonsee’s Student Success: Featured Student” for his passion and dedication toward his dream of working full time in U.S. national parks.

With a goal of becoming a biology major, Browere graduated from high school in 2015, then took his first English class at Waubonsee Community College.

“English is not my favorite, so I wanted to get it over with,” he said in a news release.

As he moved through his semester, he looked forward to summer, when he could gain experience in his field.

“I knew I wanted to work in a national park over the summer, so in March of 2016, I just started searching

News to your phone Sign up for breaking news text and email alerts at KCChronicle.com/subscribe. the internet,” Browere said. “I came across CoolWorks.com, which is where I found my job at Yellowstone with Under Canvas.”

Under Canvas is a luxury camping program providing camping for those who don’t want to rough it too much. At Under Canvas, Browere wore many hats. With a knack for creating a great customer service experience, he worked not only with visitors to ensure their stays were comfortable, but also booked reservations, set up camp sites, managed online accounts and worked in the restaurant.

“I’m not a very good cook,” he said.

“That’s why I mostly stayed in the back room, cutting vegetables.”

As a customer service representative for Under Canvas, he improved his ability to work with varied groups, people with different backgrounds and travelers from many

places, the release stated.

People from all over the world visit Yellowstone, so he had to come up with creative ways to help people, whether overcoming a language barrier or accommodating a group with special requests.

When Yellowstone’s peak season ended, Browere returned to classes at Waubonsee for the fall 2016 semester and to his job at 7-Eleven, where he works 32 hours a week.

“My professors have been understanding and supportive of my schedule, as long as I communicate with them,” he said.

His advice to students?

“Stay focused on your goals. What will you do if you quit school early?”

Browere considers juggling a full work schedule and getting experience in his field crucial in achieving his goals, the release stated. After transferring to and graduating from a fouryear university, he plans to seek a permanent job in a national park. Though he knows it is a lot to handle to maintain his current schedule, he sees his end goal as being more than worth the effort, the release stated.

By Sandy Bressner, photo editor at the Kane County Chronicle

I had the honor of meeting and photographing three centenarians, all residents at Greenfields of Geneva. The three ladies, Grace McLennan, 102, Thelma Hanley, 103, and Catharine Soderquist, 100, were all dressed in their finest attire.

That included having their nails painted recently, and McLennan (pictured) looked like a movie star in her sunglasses.

I was so impressed with the lives they have led and the lives they are still enjoying.

I just hope I am as “with it” if I ever make it to a century.

5 years ago

Former Elburn resident and drummer Charles Cain played his debut show in Nashville, Tenn.

Earlier, he released his album “Civil Ghost.” It took a year to fund and two weeks to record.

The year 2012 began with a development bang when Walgreens joined Jimmy John’s as new or expanding retail stores. Jimmy John’s already was breaking ground when Walgreens announced it would come to town.

10 years ago The Kaneland School Board voted to ask taxpayers for $65 million in borrowing power to build a new middle school and add an addition to Blackberry Creek Elementary School.

25 years ago The Elburn Village Board eased restrictions on household water use, but retained the ban on sod and lawn watering. When Elburn’s No. 4 well comes on line, officials said the water shortage threat should be alleviated.

50 years ago Elburn’s oldest native-born resident died.

Born in Elburn on July 21, 1880, Stanley W. Merrick was 87. He married Florence Woodman in 1902. They had five children and lived in New York and Wisconsin before coming home to Elburn in 1956.

10 years ago Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove was picked to host a Ladies Professional Golf Association tournament called the Solheim Cup. It pit American versus European players.

25 years ago A self-described “fossil fanatic” showed off his collection of 4,530 specimens he keeps in his basement, including rare shark teeth he found in northern Illinois. Tom Cesario began collecting fossils at age 5.

50 years ago Chicago Cubs second baseman Glenn Beckert spoke to the Maple Park Lions Club at its first baseball banquet. Two hundred people were on hand to hear Beckert’s talk.

Can’t let a good molt go to waste If you’ve ever visited Hickory Knolls Discovery Center in St. Charles, you probably noticed we have a lot of snakes. Snakes in the lobby, snakes in the exhibit room, snakes in the classroom. If we had a plane, we’d probably have snakes there, too, albeit without Samuel L. Jackson and Julianna Margulies along for the ride.

All our squiggly friends are captive-bred donations and as such portray an important part of our education mission, which is to remind people that wild things need to stay in the wild; conversely, pet animals need to remain as pets and not be released or “given their freedom.”

Education mission aside, the fact remains that we’ve got a building full of snakes. Such a backdrop usually prompts visitors to ask lots of snake-related questions. No. 1 among them has been, and likely always will be, “Are they poisonous?”

The answer to that query is twofold. The first part is, “No,” and the second part weaves in a little explanation on the difference between poisonous and venomous. (Short answer: Poisons are either ingested, inhaled or touched, while venoms are injected.

Picture poison ivy and poison dart frogs versus bee stings, spider bites and snake bites.)

The No. 2 question usually address-

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto es the topic of snakes shedding their skin. How often, how long does it take, do they eat their sheds? The respective answers are, “It depends on their age and growth rate and whether they are trying to heal a wound,” “about a half hour,” and “no.”

The people asking the questions typically are happy with our answers and take away some newfound knowledge. But every once in a while, we like to ramp up our interpretive message with an extra statement along the lines of, “You know, snakes aren’t the only animals that shed their skins …”

From there we might launch into a discussion of exoskeletons and how virtually everything with a hard outer shell – critters such as insects, spiders and crayfish, to name a few – shed their skins, or cuticle layers, too. A molt from one of our tarantulas is often used to illustrate this point, and if someone wants to see more, we’ve got a whole box of assorted shed “parts” – cicada shells, butterfly chrysalises, dragonfly exuviae (from the Latin for “things stripped from the body”) – that we can dip into and provide, if

not hours, at least several minutes of entertainment and education.

However, every once in a while, if a visitor is really lucky, he or she might be treated to the pièce de résistance among molts – the cast skin of a tiger salamander.

I suppose I should mention that in addition to the 13 snakes that call Hickory Knolls home, we have an assortment of Ambystoma tigrinum that have come to us through various means. People are often quite curious because, although common throughout our area, tiger salamanders tend to stay underground for much of the year (they are part of a family known as the mole salamanders) and hence are rarely seen.

What’s even more unusual than seeing a salamander is finding its cast skin. The outer epidermal layer comes off in its entirety like a snake, but instead of being dry and scaly, it is soft and very fragile.

Some amphibians actually eat their cast skins. I remember watching a captive green frog shed its skin. When I first walked into the room, I thought something was dreadfully wrong. The frog was puffed up, like he’d just swallowed a golf ball, and he appeared to be breathing heavily and in distress.

I next noticed a translucent material about his mouth. Good heavens,

I thought, what could this slimy discharge be?

As I continued watching, though, I noticed the frog wasn’t expelling the slime, he was consuming it. Using his little froggy feet, he was methodically pushing the gooey strands into his mouth and swallowing them. Slowly – ever so slowly – the dim lightbulb in my brain began to brighten. The frog was molting and, not wanting to let good protein go to waste, was eating the cast skin.

I’ve heard that salamanders will consume their molts, too, but I’ve yet to observe that activity. The captive animals I’ve watched instead crawl out like a sausage exiting its casing and leave the semitransparent skin behind.

Our salamanders don’t seem to be interested in their sheds, but we certainly are. In fact, we added one to our collection just the other day.

We certainly wouldn’t want to let a perfectly good molt go to waste.

Like a lacy glove that’s been cast aside, the shed skin of a tiger salamander floats in a dish of water. Note the keratinized tips of the toes, which aid in digging and gripping.

“Sales tax is a real important revenue source for us,” Elder said.

General fund expenditures are estimated at $3.3 million for the coming fiscal year. Personnel make up 60 percent of those expenditures.

Approximately $500,000 of the general fund will be transferred to the capital fund, where the majority of the money will be used to pay for stormwater system improvements for the northwest quadrant of the village; sidewalk repair and replacement; cameras for police squad cars; upgrades to the village’s storm sirens; and façade grant funding.

Live (gluten-) free or die!

My wife, Tia, and I are separating.

Oh, no, we’re not getting a divorce. Rather, she’s going totally gluten free, and I’m going gluten-free light. That means she won’t eat a restaurant’s silver-basketed, linen-covered, soft, hot, steaming rolls that appear before the appetizers, but I will. Only three or four, though. As I said, I’m cutting back.

However, even partially acquiescing to Tia’s dietary needs (because of a thyroid condition incomprehensible to me other than its spelling) has brought us closer together.

Other than that, I’m enjoying the new regimen.

For example, when she asks our server for a gluten-free menu, I’ll say, “Make that two, but make mine a double.”

Other wheat-free jokes crop up (no pun intended). For example, when waking up, instead of the usual address, I’ll say, “Gluten morgan!” in my best Henry Kissinger.

Our salvation took only 2,000 miles of listening to “The Autoimmune Solution,” by Dr. Amy Myers while driving out to the Badlands. I hadn’t given my gut that much attention since I had the stomach flu.

Anyway, Dr. Amy convinced us that not only did Tia’s thyroid condition need wheat avoidance, but my arthritic joints did as well.

All we needed to do was stop eating 99 percent of the foods we enjoyed.

Just kidding! All we needed to do was to eat products labeled “GF,” which, besides meaning “gluten free,” we took to mean “good if fried,” so now we feast on meals cooked in a vat of boiling coconut oil.

Naturally, I’m being facetious. Over the past year, we’ve enjoyed most of the

AMENDMENT

RIVER TOWN CHRONICLES Rick Holinger foods we used to eat, but now we simply pay five times the price. Well, that’s not exactly true, either. More like 10 times.

I exaggerate. And even if I weren’t, I’d still buy the stuff because a year ago I couldn’t walk a Lego city block without back pain forcing me to stop and bend over until what felt like The Hulk mistaking my back for a trampoline subsided. Today I can walk the dog for a good half hour, and I don’t bark once.

I attribute this perambulation liberation to cutting down on gluten and losing a few pounds (although the latter tend to find me around birthdays and holidays).

Tia, meanwhile, went off her gluten wagon for a week when we visited San Francisco in January. She paid for dim sum feasts and French brioches with exhaustion that had her lying on the couch far longer than usual, 11, instead of 10, hours a day.

So we continue to brag to our unbelieving peers about the benefits of going wheatless, while they continue to smile pityingly as they gulp down wheat-laden brews and pretzel sticks.

“OK,” we tell them, “just don’t come running to us when your inflamed joints put you in a walker.”

If they do, we’ll just smile and offer them a coconut oil-fried-gluten-free veggie burger. Bon appetit!

LETTERS Moved with compassion

To the editor: At Brighton Gardens of St. Charles we know the meaning of “community.” This was shown most recently in the way we reached out to the students of St. Charles East High School. The St. Charles community has experienced the tragic loss of three students in a two-week period.

These events took the otherwise quiet suburb by surprise, shaking the community to its very core.

This tragic loss has been felt deeply and profoundly by the entire community. While the school has taken steps to support the students, we felt moved with compassion to do something for the school community, which has been a support to our residents.

Write to us The Kane County Chronicle welcomes original letters on public issues. Letters must include the author’s full name, home address and day and evening telephone numbers.

We decided that purple carnations with white ribbons would be a real day-brightener for the students, and

we purchased the flowers, tying ribbons to each. We also painted canvases in purple lettering with the words, “We Stand Strong with You,” loaded up a bus with nine residents and – in addition – took six team members to the high school during the students’ lunch hour. The residents displayed our sign and handed the carnations to students. We were so well-received, and we know by the response that the students really appreciated our gesture.

The connection was felt deeply, and interaction between the young students and senior residents was magical, proving that the generational divide is not very wide!

Loving libraries

Thursday, April 6, 2017 • KCChronicle.com / The Herald

To the editor: In this time of fake news, political protest and state budget woes, it’s a useful time to remind all citizens in our region that libraries are here for you.

Libraries are your resource for information that’s unbiased, fair and available to all. Libraries connect you not only to the resources within their walls, but to books, magazines, newspapers, both in print and online, as well as music, movies and much more.

We invite you to participate in library programs and events throughout the coming year and hope you will join us in spreading this message.

If you use and value your public or school or university library, tell them what you need and how much you appreciate them being here. You will be welcomed.

If you haven’t been to a library in a while and want to know more about what you can find there, visit one.

In the Kane County area there are several academic libraries and public libraries. Find the one in your city, town or village and stop in for a visit. You may be surprised about what you will find.

Young kids are the technology generation I always find it weird seeing young children using electronic devices such as a tablet or cellphone. A few weeks ago, I went out to dinner with my family at a bar and grill restaurant. Sitting in a booth near my family and me, there was a couple and their two children. The children seemed to be between the ages of 4 and 8. One of the kids was having what appeared to be a mini temper tantrum, and to calm the kid down, the mother gave her child an electronic tablet.

The child soon calmed down and began to mess around with the tablet.

To me, it just seems odd to see someone so young playing

BEFORE THE DIPLOMA Denise Cartina with an electronic device such as a tablet mainly because I just cannot relate to that child.

Tablets and smartphones did not become popular products until I was in my early teens.

To shut me up as a child, my mom used to play Shania Twain songs and give me Barbie dolls to play with. I was not handed a tablet to play a game on. I spent my childhood days playing with dolls and toy dinosaurs. I’m sure the kids of today also still play with these

types of toys, but they have numerous electronic devices to compete with basic toys.

I have a feeling that a child is more excited to receive their own tablet than they are to get a cuddly teddy bear. Nowadays, it appears that kids as young as elementary school have their own cellphones and tablets, and it really takes me by surprise. I did not get my own cellphone until I was 13 years old, and even when I finally got it, it was not a smartphone. The main purpose of my first cellphone was purely to call and text people.

It really makes me wonder what third-graders are doing with their smartphones.

Why does an 8-year-old need an iPhone? They surely cannot be texting that many people and continuously posting photos or statuses on social media sites. I think the biggest reason that so many young kids are getting cellphones so soon is because of the pressure of other children having them.

If a child has three best friends who all have cellphones, then that child will feel left out and will want one, too. Parents may feel like they must buy their children cellphones so they can “keep up” with the rest of the other kids.

I may be an expert on certain types of technology now, but in a few years the

generation below me will be even more technologically advanced. While my generation may be very tech-savvy, we’re nothing compared with the youngest generation of kids out there who are being introduced to tablets and cellphones by the age of 4.

Kaneland baseball looking to do big things in 2017 / 23

Kaneland’s Devin Pieczynski drives a double to center field March 28 during a game against Wheaton Academy. The Knights are looking to find success this season after graduating several key players from last year.

The first pitches of the high school baseball season have been thrown, and teams already are jockeying for position in conference races and postseason seeding. Here’s the outlook for the rest of the season for Kaneland and other area teams.

Outlook: Pitching depth and defense in the middle of the infield should be strengths for the Rockets this season.

McKermitt and Milas were solid on defense, as was Knowlton at third base, and all three hit in the heart of the order.

Instead of one big stud hitter, BC had several key contributors, including McKermitt (14 RBIs), Milas (32 runs), Knowlton (18 RBIs) and Lauber (19 RBIs).

Knowlton, Lauber, Milas, Noeska, Van Buren, senior Dylan Berry and junior Bradley Dinges will figure into the rotation while juniors Nick Matijevic, Caden Scott and Zach Schutta should see regular playing time.

Jon Cunningham - For Shaw Media

Kaneland shortstop Angel Acevedo fires to first base March 28 after getting the forceout during a game against Wheaton Academy.

The Knights are relatively inexperienced, but have a deep and balanced pitching staff.

Outlook: The graduation of Joe Laudont, Jake Marczuk, Matt O’Sullivan and Jacob Violett leaves some gaps to fill both at the plate and in the field.

The bright side is Calabrese and Marshall return to the left side of the infield.

Norman also will be key to the defense behind the plate after seeing some varsity time last year.

Pitching is something of a question mark, though it is a balanced staff that includes Marshall, seniors Brett Glennon, Clark Hendricks, Troy Moss, Jacob Needham and Josh Pollastrini and juniors Jack Douglas, Robert Dudzinski, Devin Pieczynski, Timothy Rosko,

Kaneland’s Jack Marshall gets set to throw during a wood bat baseball tournament game last summer. Marshall is one of 11 seniors on the roster.

Zach Sikron, Reece Sowell and Grant Thomas.

The early returns have been encouraging as the Knights started 3-2 with wins against Wheaton Academy, Harlem and Belleville East, the latter two as part of a spring break trip to

O’Fallon. Help already has come from the lower levels as Angel Acevedo saw action against Wheaton Academy. A tough nonconference schedule includes Marmion, St. Charles East, Nazareth, Mount Carmel, Aurora Central Catholic, Batavia and Geneva.

Outlook: It was a rough introduction to the rigors of the Chicago Catholic League last season as the Cadets struggled to a 4-16 league mark, though that schedule toughened them up enough to capture a Class 3A regional title.

McPherson figures to be a big twoway threat after hitting .350 with 20 runs and 20 RBIs while also going 3-1 with a 1.96 ERA on the mound last spring. Batterymate Stanke is committed to play at Arkansas.

Pitching depth comes from Gibson, who pitched in the regional game a season ago, Brummel, Lentz and sophomore Eric Lundell.

There won’t be an easy game during the season both in the CCL and in nonconference games against Kaneland, Benet, Batavia and Wheaton North, but the schedule should help prepare Marmion for more postseason success.

Outlook: With seniors Ahlers and Schrubbe on the left side of the infield, the Rockets’ defense should be plenty solid. Ahlers, headed to Winona State to play in college, also will be feared with the bat in her hand after hitting .570 with 12 home runs, 43 RBIs and 43 runs scored last season.

Schrubbe is also college-bound (Rockford College), but the loss of pitcher Emily Kisch will be tough to overcome. Junior Julia Barnes figures to take the reins in the pitching circle in place of Kisch, who won 15 games and batted close to .500. Sophomore Abby Sanders and freshmen Reili Gardner, Delyla Mroz-Reach and Megan Wiater are expected to be varsity contributors.

Outlook: After winning a Class 3A regional title last season, the Knights return several key pieces from that group. Foremost among them is fouryear varsity player Weber, a Lewis University-bound shortstop who hit .407 with eight home runs and 41 RBIs last spring.

Weber is hardly the only big bat returning to the lineup. Abruzzo batted .415 last year, Jesionowski hit .370 with 16 RBIs, and Theobald knocked in 25 runs while hitting .330.

Jesionowski figures to handle a fair share of the pitching assignments, though freshman Emilee Erickson will help lighten the load in that department. Sophomores Natalie Kraemer (third base, shortstop), Hailey Roach (catcher, third base), and Maddy Wheatley (outfield) will add depth and some versatility for the Knights, who

MOUND COUNT Pitch count guidelines

By CHRIS ROLLIN WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com Todd Genke can tell you some great stories.

How he roomed with an NL Rookie of the Year (Scott Rolen), got a pitch tattooed for a dinger by a free-swinging AL MVP (Vladimir Guerrero), and how he once struck out a five-time World Series champion and 14-time All-Star (Derek Jeter).

He also can tell you what it’s like to suffer a torn rotator cuff.

The Illinois High School Association hopes to see a reduction in pitching arm injuries like Genke’s and it believes it has taken a huge step beginning this spring by instituting a rule that limits the number of pitches that pitchers may throw in a game, how much rest is required between outings, and the number of pitches they can toss during their next appearance.

The IHSA’s rationale is that “after years of research and thoughtful discussion ... it has been determined that modifying the pitching restriction rule to reflect that the policy should be based on the number of pitches thrown is a better indication of overuse and repetition than the current method of innings pitched during a contest.”

Pitchers can throw no more than 105 pitches before being removed from the game.

“I hate to say this, but it’s like putting a Band-Aid on a big, open wound,” Genke said. “It’s a great thing to control pitch counts in the spring, but there’s no governing body or rules being followed in the summer and fall and even in the winter.”

to have to dig deep into their roster, perhaps leading to opportunities for kids who may not have gotten them otherwise.

“This might force coaches to throw kids that they wouldn’t normally throw,” Geneva coach Brad Wendell said. “It might give some new kids a bigger role and it’ll require more thought, coaching and developing arms from coaches.”

Aurora Central coach Sean Bieterman, who serves on the IHSA Baseball Advisory Committee, said 99 percent of coaches are doing it the right way, but there have been a handful that have put kids in dangerous situations. He hopes this rule will curtail it.

“The biggest piece of this is that there have been people who have been throwing kids beyond the limits, and they can’t be allowed to do that,” he said.

“I know some people are unhappy about [the rule], but people need to know that this was a National Federation decision and stopping those few who have been excessive has to be done.”

“We feel like we can set up a legitimate rotation.”

“It doesn’t change what we do too much,” Kaneland coach Brian Aversa said. “We [have] a pitch an hour [rule], so if you throw 24 pitches you need a whole 24 hours of rest, so we’re more stringent than this new rule is.”

Standards already have been in place elsewhere, including at St. Charles East. The Saints also rest their pitchers more than the new rules require.

“The smaller schools are going to be affected most, and those weeks where rainouts force you to play seven games in six days are going to be taxing,” Saints coach Len Asquini said.

Those taxing weeks could prove beneficial in that they’ll force teams

Unfortunately, high school coaches can only do so much. They really only have the kids under their guidance for a few months in the spring. Many of the kids then go out and throw all summer and fall, and even in the winter.

“There’s a lot of abuse that’s going on with the lessons, travel teams, showcases and these velocity programs that are getting kids to throw as hard as they can with a weighted ball,” Chapman said. “A lot of these kids’ bodies aren’t mature enough to physically be able to do these things.”

Basically, high school coaches have a little more than three months with the kids. As for the other nine months?

“Unfortunately we can’t protect the kids from what’s happening with their travel teams,” Aversa said. “I think the high school coaches know what’s in the best interest of their kids, but with these travel teams, I’ve heard of kids pitching on a Sunday and coming back on a Monday to do it again. Why would you do that?”

High school baseball pitchers and coaches deal with new rule

Continued from page 25 Genke has told his kids to play other sports in the offseason or for his pitchers to play fall ball without pitching and to have some fun playing another position and swinging the bat.

Perhaps what the IHSA also should have done, or should consider doing later, is an education campaign. This would be for more than the high school coaches, but especially for the kids, parents and the travel organizations that are mentoring players the rest of the year.

“I think a mass education campaign would be a nice step to educate the parents and kids, especially for all of these summer travel teams and showcases,” Nelson said. “I think the pitch count is going to alleviate some of the things we’ve seen, but I think more education would be helpful so people understand the risks and what could happen if you’re throwing too much.”

Repercussions of rule change

What will be interesting to monitor is how this affects the way the game is played.

Will coaches eliminate starters per se and switch to bullpen platoons?

Will pitchers be even more aggressive since non-strikes will quickly add to the pitch count? Will pitchers try to blow away hitters on 0-2 and 1-2 counts rather than try to get them to chase?

Will hitters look to take more pitches or will they jump on them, knowing pitchers will be trying to get ahead now more than ever? Will umpires be calling a bigger zone, cognizant of the rule change? Will teams drop nonconference games and JV games to save pitchers for more important conference games?

“It’ll be interesting,” Asquini said.

“You might see some changes to the offensive approach from teams and some different pitching philosophies on how guys go after guys.”

Wendell said throwing strikes has always been important, but now it’s crucial.

“Guys know that the longer they throw strikes, the longer they’re going to stay in games,” he said. “I think that has always been the case, but it’s even more so now.”

Chapman said the days of falling behind 3-0, following with two sliders for strikes and then getting the out on the next pitch will have to end.

“You may be getting the out but that’s no longer feasible,” he said.

“When you get ahead you’re going to have to do a better job setting up pitches and not wasting one by throwing at eye level.”

Batavia’s Glenn Albanese fires a pitch during a March 28 game against Willowbrook.

Albanese and his fellow pitchers will be subject to new pitch count rules that require a prescribed amount of rest based on the number of pitches thrown in a game.

Regardless of counting pitches and ensuring proper rest between outings, pitchers are still going to get hurt.

Pitch counts may help, but they’re not the cure. Throwing a baseball puts unnatural stress on the shoulder joints and the elbow, and many kids also have horrible mechanics. Injuries are quite common and many require major surgery.

Is that shocking? Not really. Tommy John surgeries have ripped through high school arms faster than an Aroldis Chapman fastball. In fact, a 2015 study by the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine reported that nearly 57 percent of Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgeries between 2007-2011 were performed on kids between the ages of 15 to 19.

Wes Benjamin (St. Charles East), Casey Crosby (Kaneland), Zach Hirsch Injuries are never going away (St. Charles North), Andy Honiotes Will this rule eliminate all arm inju- (Geneva) and Tim Tarter (Marmion) ries? Don’t count on it. are some of the finest pitchers the area

has recently seen and all five went under the knife for Tommy John surgery.

All also were able to return to the hill in college or the pros, and Crosby even had a cup of joe in the majors.

“Even if you have good mechanics, if you’re overused, you’re still in danger, and injuries are part of pitching,” said Batavia alum and pitching coach Brian Krolikowski, the Kane County Chronicle Player of the Year in 2009.

Krolikowski’s career was plagued by injuries, including to his pitching shoulder and elbow.

“Honestly, my injuries were more from lack of care and lifting for football. My larger muscles overran my smaller ones ... so I didn’t have the right range of motion,” he said. “Now guys are doing a better job with arm care and band work. That’s why you’re seeing guys throwing 100 in the majors now.”

Krolikowski works with young players as the Batavia Youth Base-

ball travel program instructor. If kids are pitching with poor mechanics and throwing curveballs before high school, by the time they’re freshmen their throwing arm often is like jelly.

He wants to put an end to that. He’s looking to prepare them so they’re not entering high school with a damaged wing.

“There are youth coaches that have kids throwing curveballs and they still feel fine one or two days later so the coach thinks it’s OK, but then they’re feeling it one or two years later with injuries,” Krolikowski said. “They need to think of the long-term effect. So I preach mechanics and extension. The kids have to learn how to work their bodies, and once they get into high school we can start teaching them how to throw curveballs.”

Batavia alum Jordan Coffey has had three shoulder surgeries and one Tommy John surgery. He’s now the pitching coach for NAIA Indiana Wesleyan.

“I think something like a pitch count is one of the ways to minimize some of the risks for injuries,” he said.

“But some guys still are going to hurt.

Then, look at someone like Greg Maddux who pitched for over 20 years and never went on the disabled list (he actually finally did in 2002 with four Cy Young awards already to his name).

“The injuries happen more often to guys with poor mechanics and there also are guys who are predisposed because of their personal anatomy.

That’s what they found with how the bones were structured in my shoulder so I was susceptible to injury.”

Coffey said some coaches tinker with kids too much, taking a cookie-cutter approach, which is unfair and unsafe since each kid is physically different.

“You still see a lot of kids with stiff high school motions trying to get balance and then they throw as hard as they can and which leads to more injuries,” he said. “It doesn’t matter how many pitches you’re throwing if you’re not throwing the right way for your body.”

How will this all play out?

Finally, a question that many coaches continue to ask is, “What happens if a team breaks the pitch count rule?”

That answer remains elusive.

Surprisingly, umpires will not be involved in any capacity. If asked about such a controversy, umpires have been instructed to respond with something like, “I have no authority to comment or rule on administering violations of the pitch count rule. This is an issue that you two coaches need to work out between yourselves.”

Hey, coach, can I get your digits?

Is The Count from “Sesame Street” looking for work? Teams are hiring.

Are there any mathematicians in the stands?

Things could get quite interesting.

BOYS BASKETBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR

St. Charles East’s Justin Hardy improves game, named Player of Year

By CHRIS CASEY editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – The St. Charles East boys basketball team broke the huddle after a timeout.

Justin Hardy recognized a mismatch on the floor and suggested a particular offensive set to head coach Pat Woods.

Did the longtime coach second-guess Hardy? Not at all. In fact, when that play resulted in an easy bucket and points for the Saints, it reassured to Woods just how special his junior forward had become.

“Justin was often like an extension of a coach on the floor,” Woods said.

“And he does it in such a respectful way. It didn’t always have to be a play for him, but always something that he felt we could exploit. That’s pretty rare in a high school player if you ask me.”

Hardy was East’s most consistent and constant threat this season and is the 2016-17 Kane County Chronicle Boys Basketball Player of the Year.

Hardy averaged 20.3 points per game, grabbed 8.5 rebounds and dished out nearly three assists. He did all of that while shooting 57 percent from the field over the course of the season.

“A lot of times when guys score the number of points Justin did, they take a lot of shots,” Woods said. “He doesn’t do that at all. It’s nice because he helps make everyone on the court a threat. But his game has grown so much since last season. He can do pretty much everything for us and to have a versatile player like that makes things easy as a coach sometimes.”

The 6-foot-5 Hardy shot a career-high 38 percent from 3-point range, while also having the ability to take big men off the dribble and finish at the rim.

Hardy said he worked relentlessly in the offseason – whether it was with personal trainer Chris Conrad or through his strenuous AAU program schedule – on continuing to develop his game to be as hard to guard as possible.

“That’s the kind of player I want to be … that Magic Johnson or Draymond Green type of player,” Hardy said. “Someone that can help their team win by doing a little bit of everything. I pride myself on trying to be as

er personal milestone as he nears the 1,000-point mark with a senior season still to play.

Whether it’s Hardy developing his game or making suggestions about something he sees on the court, Woods has come to realize that winning is by far the most important thing in Hardy’s mind.

“He’s one of the most humble, yet successful, kids I know,” Woods said.

‘He doesn’t want any of the glory because he’s willing to do whatever it takes to win. That’s the bottom line.

At times, I had to tell him to be more selfish because he’d pass up open shots to try and get other teammates the ball. He’s going to continue to get better, and I can’t wait to see what next year has in store for him.”

The Saints will return soon-tobe seniors Zach Robinson and Alec Champine for one final go-around, but there’s an almost certainty that next year’s success will lie heavily on the broad shoulders of Justin Hardy.

Club Arcada celebrates entertainment past, present

By RENEE TOMELL

If you go

rtomell@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – With its playful visual punch, the new Club Arcada ups the entertainment ante in St. Charles. It perches above the main theater where audiences see their idols from across the decades.

In speaking with reporter Renee Tomell, Ron Onesti, president and CEO of Onesti Entertainment, said the thirdfloor club with its professional dance floor caters to New York jazz club style entertainment. Upcoming shows will feature Tony Bennett’s daughter, Antonia Bennett, who opens for him when he tours, plus Jack Lemmon’s son, Chris, in a retrospective of his father’s life, as well as Motown and jazz a la Sarah Vaughan and Billie Holiday.

“Lee Rocker, a member of the Stray Cats, is doing rockabilly shows,” Onesti said, adding that blues performances each Tuesday will kick off soon.

The space, which is dubbed a speakeasy and showroom, is accessed through a secret door in the entry’s library. Broadway stars and comedy are part of the mix, and back in action is the Arcada grand piano once played by such greats as Duke Ellington. The original Club Arcada opened on the

second floor during the 1930s as Prohibition came to an end.

To set the lively scene of his new club, Onesti commissioned artists to create murals populated by some of his favorite Hollywood legends from Jeanne Harlow to Charlie Chaplin, who each have special rooms dedicated to them. Local artist Joe Gagnepain painted the “The Great Gatsby” themed mural in a semi-private space off the Fred & Ginger main showroom, where Russian artist Vitali’s mural mingles St. Charles landmarks and Cotton Club-era celebrities. People in the know will spot Onesti family members.

FOOD

COOKING UP A BIT OF CUBA

Spanish classics influence island culture’s staple flavors and recipes

By LINDA BASSETT More Content Now Cuba is on many people’s minds these days.

Airlines submit bids on contracts from American cities to Havana. People planning vacations wonder if they should venture into this land so long off limits. Auto aficionados want to ride in a pre-1958 car looking nearly as pristine as the day it rolled out of the factory. Baseball fans, hoping to get a look at future all-stars, plan to flock to more than one of the fields tucked into so many neighborhoods. Literature lovers will search for Ernest Hemingway’s famous fishing spots and other haunts to order up his favorite mojitos and daiquiris on his favorite barstool.

And chefs are seeking out undiscovered recipes to bring back to their menus as found, or as inspiration for new flavor combinations.

Some expect a lot of heat here, but they’ll be disappointed. Unlike other Caribbean islands, Cuban recipes don’t rely quite as much on spiciness for flavor. Much of the food, in restaurants and in home kitchens, is based on Spanish classics, often following the original very closely. No wiggle room.

Other recipes, known as “creole,” took detours like the languages that develop within closed communities.

A fried chicken is a lot like America’s own Southern fried, adding some Mediterranean fresh garlic and Caribbean lime juice. I learned that planning this one ahead is a good strategy. Pat the chicken pieces dry and leave them overnight on a sheet pan, uncovered, in the refrigerator, for a much better finish.

Root vegetables like sweet potatoes or yams became an especially filling staple in Cuba during the time called the “special period” when the island suffered all types of shortages.

They could be grown on a tiny plot of land and supplement whatever was available. Glazed and flavored with a combination of cinnamon and lime juice is unexpected.

The avocado and pineapple salad is another surprisingly mellow blending of flavors, and once again no spicy stuff. The salad makes a delicious tweak to the side of the plate accustomed to a heap of potato salad and slaw beside the fried chicken.

Creole fried chicken is a lot like America’s own Southern fried, adding some Mediterranean fresh garlic and Caribbean lime juice.

CREOLE FRIED CHICKEN Makes 4 to 6 servings

A 3-½ pound chicken, cut into serving pieces 5 garlic cloves 1 teaspoon salt ½ cup fresh lime juice oil for deep frying 1-½ cups flour Crush the garlic and salt together in a bowl.

Whisk in the lime juice. Slather this mixture over the chicken pieces and refrigerate, for 3 to 5 hours.

Heat the oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Drain the chicken pieces and coat thoroughly in flour. Pat the flour onto the chicken, making sure it sticks to the surface.

Fry for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden. Drain on paper towels.

Strain the oil into a bowl, then return the cleared oil to the skillet, adding more if needed. Return chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 10 to 15 minutes longer on medium heat.

The exterior will be deeply golden and very crisp; the interior will be fully cooked.

AVOCADO AND PINEAPPLE SALAD Makes 4 to 6 servings

2 or 3 avocadoes 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons cider vinegar 1 tablespoon chopped scallions Cut the avocadoes in half. Remove pits by inserting the blade of a knife and twisting.

Keep the avocados intact, then make crisscross cuts through the inner flesh without cutting through the skin. Loose the avocado flesh. Fill the hollows in the avocado halves with the pineapple chunks.

Make a dressing by whisking together the oil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.

Spoon this dressing over the avocado and pineapples.

Sprinkle chopped scallions over the top.

Serve an avocado half to each person.

GLAZED SWEET POTATOES Makes 6 servings

1-½ pounds sweet potatoes 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

½ cup brown sugar ½ teaspoon cinnamon 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons dry white wine

Peel the raw sweet potatoes under cool running water and place immediately into a pot of cool water, to cover, to keep them from discoloring.

Turn the heat up and bring the pot to a boil, adding the salt and lime juice. Simmer briskly for 35 to 40 minutes, until just tender, but not mushy, when pierced with a fork. Drain and rinse in cool water so that they stop cooking, and cool enough to be handled. Cut into ½-inch slices.

Arrange the slices in an ovenproof baking dish. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Dot each slice with butter; sprinkle the wine over the top.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in a preheated 350F oven. Serve right away with the fried chicken while still hot.

FAMILY

Know-it-all voice assistants shaping kids

By MICHAEL S. ROSENWALD

K

The Washington Post

ids adore their new robot siblings.

As millions of American families buy robotic voice assistants to turn off lights, order pizzas and fetch movie times, children are eagerly co-opting the gadgets to settle dinner table disputes, answer homework questions and entertain friends at sleepover parties.

Many parents have been startled and intrigued by the way these disembodied, know-it-all voices – Amazon’s Alexa, Google Home, Microsoft’s Cortana – are impacting their kids’ behavior, making them more curious but also, at times, far less polite.

In just two years, the promise of the technology already has exceeded the marketing come-ons. The disabled are using voice assistants to control their homes, order groceries and listen to books. Caregivers to the elderly say the devices help with dementia, reminding users what day it is or when to take medicine.

For children, the potential for transformative interactions are just as dramatic – at home and in classrooms. But psychologists, technologists and linguists are only beginning to ponder the possible perils of surrounding kids with artificial intelligence, particularly as they traverse important stages of social and language development.

“How they react and treat this nonhuman entity is, to me, the biggest question,” said Sandra Calvert, a Georgetown University psychologist and director of the Children’s Digital Media Center. “And how does that subsequently affect family dynamics and social interactions with other people?”

With an estimated 25 million voice assistants expected to sell this year at $40 to $180 – up from 1.7 million in 2015 – there even are ramifications for the diaper crowd.

Toy giant Mattel recently announced the birth of Aristotle, a home baby monitor launching this summer that “comforts, teaches and entertains” using AI from Microsoft. As children get older, they can ask or answer questions. The company says, “Aristotle was specifically designed to grow up with a child.”

Boosters of the technology say kids typically learn to acquire information using the prevailing technology of the moment – from the library card catalogue, to Google, to brief conversations with friendly, all-knowing voices.

But what if these gadgets lead children, whose faces already are glued to screens, further away from situations where they learn important interpersonal skills?

It’s unclear whether any of the companies involved even are paying attention to this issue.

Amazon did not return a request for comment. A spokeswoman for the Partnership for AI, a new organization that includes Google, Amazon, Microsoft and other companies working on voice assistants, said nobody was available to answer questions.

“These devices don’t have emotional intelligence,” said Allison Druin, a University of Maryland professor who studies how children use technology.

“They have factual intelligence.”

Children certainly enjoy their company, referring to Alexa like just another family member.

Asher Labovich, 13, and his 10-year-old brother, Emerson, (left) mess around with the family’s Alexa, an Amazon Echo voice assistant, while their mom, Laura Labovich, watches in Bethesda, Md.

“How they react and treat this nonhuman entity is, to me, the biggest question. And how does that subsequently affect family dynamics and social interactions with other people?”

Sandra Calvert, a Georgetown University psychologist and director of the Children’s Digital Media Center

“We like to ask her a lot of really random things,” said Emerson Labovich, a fifth-grader in Bethesda, Maryland, who pesters Alexa with her older brother Asher.

This winter, Emerson asked her almost every day to help count down the days until a trip to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Florida. “She can also rap and rhyme,” Emerson said.

Today’s children will be shaped by AI much like their grandparents were shaped by new devices called television.

But you couldn’t talk with a TV. Ken Yarmosh, a 36-year-old Northern Virginia app developer and founder of Savvy Apps has multiple voice assistants in his family’s home, including those made by Google and Amazon.

(The Washington Post is owned by Amazon founder Jeffrey P. Bezos, whose middle name is Preston, according to Alexa.)

Yarmosh’s 2-year-old son has been so enthralled by Alexa he tries to speak

with coasters and other cylindrical objects that look like Amazon’s device.

Meanwhile, Yarmosh’s now 5-year-old son, in comparing his two assistants, came to believe Google knew him better.

“Alexa isn’t smart enough for me,” he’d say, asking random questions his parents couldn’t answer, like how many miles it is to China. (“China is 7,248 miles away, “ Google Home says, “as the crow flies.”)

In talking that way about a device plugged into a wall, Yarmosh’s son was anthropomorphizing it – which means to “ascribe human features to something,” Alexa happily explains.

Humans do this a lot, Calvert said.

We do it with dogs, dressing them in costumes on Halloween. We name boats. And when we encounter robots, we – especially children – treat them as near equals.

In 2012, University of Washington researchers published results of a study

involving 90 children interacting with a life-size robot named Robovie. Most kids thought Robovie had “mental states” and was a “social being.” When Robovie was shoved into a closet, more than half felt it wasn’t fair. A similar emotional connection is taking hold with Alexa and other assistants – even for parents.

“It’s definitely become part of our lives,” said Emerson’s mother, Laura Labovich, who then quickly corrected herself: “She’s definitely part of our lives.”

The problem, Druin said, is this emotional connection sets up expectations for children devices can’t or weren’t designed to meet, causing confusion, frustration and even changes in the way kids talk or interact with adults.

Yarmosh’s son thought Alexa couldn’t understand him, but it was the algorithms that couldn’t grasp the pitch in his voice or the way children formulate questions. Educators introducing these devices into classrooms and school libraries have encountered the same issue.

“If Alexa doesn’t understand the question, is it Alexa’s fault or might it be the question’s fault?” said Gwyneth Jones, a librarian who uses Amazon’s device at Murray Hill Middle School in Laurel, Maryland. “People are not always going to get what they are saying, so it’s important that they learn how to ask good questions.”

LEARNING TO GROW Diana Stoll Don’t worry about winter protection. These beauties are natives of Russia and are cold hardy to Zone 2.

They are pretty planted with other early spring flowering bulbs, such as crocus, snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) and glory of the snow (Chionodoxa luciliae). Plant them at the base of a forsythia bush for a spring-blooming dynamic duo. Or plant them directly in the lawn, as long as you can wait to mow the grass for six weeks after the flowers bloom.

Be sure to leave yellowing foliage after flowers bloom in spring. Although unattractive, the leaves are busy collecting sunlight and replenishing nutrients for next year’s flowers.

The ideal time to transplant scilla is in the fall, but it may be difficult to remember exactly where bulbs are planted once their foliage disappears. Instead, wait until they have finished blooming and the foliage has yellowed before moving them. Be sure to keep them well watered while they settle in to their new home.

“Whether the bulbs of Scilla sibirica snuggle into a woodland garden, wrap themselves around the bases of shrubs in a mixed border, or share space with grass in a lawn, their bright bold color demands attention,” writes Kane County Master Gardener Diana Stoll.

Scilla sibirica Spring Beauty is a popular variety with intense blue flowers.

There are also pink- and white-flowering varieties that are more difficult to find, but who would want anything other than that glorious spring carpet of blue?

If you’ve ever been stopped in your tracks by a carpet of brilliant blue in an early spring landscape, the chances are good you were admiring Siberian squill that had naturalized into a magnificent colony.

Whether the bulbs of Scilla sibirica snuggle into a woodland garden, wrap themselves around the bases of shrubs in a mixed border, or share space with grass in a lawn, their bright bold color demands attention.

Siberian squill paints the garden under my weeping willow blue beginning the end of March and continuing through much of April. They are small – just 3 to 6 inches tall – but mighty and have multiplied and self-seeded themselves into a sea of sparkling blue nodding flowers.

If you want a captivating carpet of blue, plant scilla bulbs in the fall.

They prefer a spot in part to full sun, but will grow just about anywhere with well-drained soil.

Plant bulbs a few inches apart and two to three inches deep, and water them thoroughly to aid developing roots. Plant them where they have plenty of room to roam. There is no stopping them as they spread by both multiplying and self-seeding.

New horizon for meals in a bowl “Bowls!” (Chronicle), a new book by food writer and editor Molly Watson, shines a light on healthful one-dish meals.

Flexibility is the watchword Watson uses to describe bowl meals, which are the perfect vessels for cereal, soup and stew. In her introductory comments, Watson says: “Bowls represent everything you want in a meal: easy to make, tasty to eat and, more often than not, wonderfully frugal.”

Home cooks will find 26 full recipes and 90 recipes for mix-and-match components. A good example (below) is for the Reuben Bowl. Recipes start with an order of operations, a strategic step-bystep plan for creating the bowl meal.

Watson also offers recommendations regarding substitutions. It is best to substitute “like with like,” she says.

“Replace a grain with a grain, meat with meat, cooked vegetable with cooked vegetable and crunchy garnish with crunchy garnish.”

Serves four

ORDER OF OPERATIONS 1. Make pilaf 2. Make dressing 3. Prep sauerkraut 4. Prep toppings 5. Chop and heat pastrami 6. Assemble bowls CARAWAY RYE PILAF 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil 1 onion, finely chopped 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon caraway seeds 1 cup rye kernels 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper RUSSIAN DRESSING 1/2 cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons ketchup 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish 1/2 to 1 teaspoon hot sauce 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/4 teaspoon mild paprika 1 cup drained sauerkraut 2 medium-size pickles, chopped 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese 8 ounces pastrami, chopped

For pilaf: In large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm oil. Add onion and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, about 3 minutes. Add caraway seeds and cook, stirring frequently, until caraway smells toasted, about 2 minutes. Add rye kernels and stir to combine. Pour in broth, bring to a boil, cover, turn heat to low, and cook until kernels are tender to bite, about 45 minutes. Stir in pepper and remove from heat. Cover to keep warm.

For dressing: In asmall bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, hot sauce to taste, Worcestershire sauce and paprika: stir to mix well.

For sauerkraut: Using your hands (or wrap sauerkraut in clean towel), squeeze out as much excess moisture from sauerkraut as possible.

For pastrami: Put pastrami in small frying pan, cover, place over medium-low heat, and heat, uncovering to stir once or twice, until hot, 2 to 3 minutes.

To assemble: Divide pilaf among four bowls. Top with pastrami, pile on sauerkraut and sprinkle on pickles. Drizzle with dressing, strew with cheese and serve.

Make it easy: Rye kernels can be tricky to track down. Barley or farro is tasty substitute here. Also, if you are really pressed for time, use bottled Russian dressing.

War letters collection preserves military past Dear Readers:

DEAR ABBY Today marks the 100th anniverJeanne sary of AmeriPhillips ca’s entry into World War I. In commemoration, I’m mentioning a special initiative to save America’s war letters. Almost 20 years ago I wrote about a historian, Andy Carroll, who had launched a project to seek out and preserve war-related letters as a way of honoring and remembering our veterans, troops and their loved ones.

After the column appeared, Andy was deluged with responses. Today that collection holds approximately 100,000 wartime correspondences – from handwritten letters penned during the American Revolution and Civil War, to emails from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Andy has donated the entire collection to Chapman University in Orange, California, and the project is now called the Center for American War Letters.

This week, Andy and CAWL are kicking off an ambitious “Million Letters Campaign.”

Andy will travel nationwide speaking at public libraries, museums, VFW and American Legion posts, civic groups, places of worship, military academies and more to explain the importance of these correspondences and encourage people to share with him their own war-related letters and emails. If you know of someone who has war letters, please share this information so the stories and voices of the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our nation will be preserved.

Andy would love to meet in person anyone with letters to contribute to this “Million Letters Campaign” and is always seeking new venues.

If you know of a place he should speak, email him about it. For families with letters who cannot attend, submissions can be sent to Andrew Carroll/CAWL Chapman University, One University Drive, Orange, CA 92866. (Originals are preferred, but scans are also appreciated.)

Ultimately, Andy and CAWL are seeking letters from ALL American wars, on ANY subject matter. For information on how to attend or invite Andy to your community, visit www.

Dear Abby: My son, “Tom,” is a senior in high school. About a month ago, he asked a girl named “Allie” to the prom. She said yes.

Allie’s mom is a hairdresser. My husband and I don’t know her or her husband.

Allie’s mother has asked two different people about us. One of them told us about it; the other I heard about secondhand. So last week I introduced myself to her at a local function. We spoke briefly, and I told her I would be in touch.

A few days ago I called to invite her out for coffee and left a message with my phone number.

She hasn’t called me back. What can I do to get to know Allie’s mother better? – PROM MOM Dear Prom Mom: Make an appointment to have your hair done, and you’ll have at least an hour with her.

ASK THE DOCTORS / ELIZABETH KO AND EVE GLAZIER confusion, which can indicate concussion.

The researchers concluded that while heading the ball increased a player’s risk of concussive impact, accidental contact, like an elbow to the head or colliding with another player, was even more common.

Research into sports-related concussions has previously focused on football and hockey, where bruising impacts are part of the game. Now, scientists are expanding their inquiries into soccer.

Soccer is the world’s most popular team sport. It is estimated that amateur players head the ball up to 12 times per game. Add in practice drills, and this can add up to 2,000 headers over 20 years. The question now is whether the effect of all those headers on the delicate structures of the brain can be cumulative.

For the authors of the American study, the answer was yes. They recommend that players be aware of any concussion symptoms, even absent a conclusive concussion diagnosis. Should symptoms appear, players must avoid another collision in the following weeks, when the risk of another concussion spikes significantly.

The truth is, all physical activity carries both risks and benefits. One thing we discuss with our patients regarding soccer is the risk of knee injury, given the high lateral impact forces.

It sounds as though your husband is staying abreast of the latest research, which is wise. He can use it to decide how – and even whether – he decides to play soccer in the future.

Dear Doctor: My husband, who plays in a weekend soccer league, is troubled by some new reports he has read that suggest that soccer might be as dangerous as football.

Can you explain the studies?

Dear Reader: Your husband may be referring to a pair of studies published in February that examined the potential risks of heading the ball, a common move in soccer. One study, conducted at a British university, found signs of brain damage in a group of professional soccer players, all of whom had decades-long careers. The other study, published by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, focused on amateur players. The study found an increased risk of concussion both from heading the ball and from accidental contact during a game. But before you insist that your husband turns in his cleats, let’s take a closer look at the data.

The British study examined 14 retired soccer players with dementia. The men, skilled at heading the ball, played for an average of 26 years each. When the brain tissue of six of the players was examined after their death, researchers found signs of trauma.

In four of the six brains, this included chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a progressive degenerative disease also found in professional boxers, football players and hockey players. Although the small sample size of the British study kept researchers from drawing conclusions, they agreed the results reveal the need for large-scale studies.

In the American study, researchers followed 222 amateur soccer players, both men and women. Players reported how often they headed the ball, as well as any accidental blows to the head during play. They also rated the severity of symptoms like headache, dizziness, altered vision, weakness or

Say goodbye to the dad chair. Today’s recliners are slimmer, smarter and more stylish than ever.

Even La-Z-Boy, the 90-year-old brand whose name is as synonymous with classic recliners as Kleenex is with tissues, has updated its product line over the years. In 2010, the company hired actress Brooke Shields as its celebrity spokeswoman to target women ages 35 to 54 and to distance itself from a decades-long association with grandpas, couch potatoes and frat boys who love the lever-lifting footrests and roly-poly cushions.

“I call it Bubba,” Faith Phillips, the company’s vice president of retail store experience, said of the iconic chair. “We love Bubba, and we won’t stop making Bubba, but we wanted to offer more.”

The commercials have been successful: A La-Z-Boy spokeswoman said the company saw three years of double-digit same-store sales growth coinciding with its launch. So last year, the company developed a new retail strategy that puts boutique-style showrooms in cities.

About one-third the size of the company’s standard stores, the boutiques feature La-Z-Boy’s Urban Attitudes collection, which offers contemporary pieces in small footprints, and design consultations. The first showroom opened about a year ago in Washington’s Logan Circle neighborhood.

“The idea is to make these stores reflect their communities,” Phillips said. “We’re considering adding more in other parts of the country, but it has to be the right fit.”

Kelly Taylor, an interior designer in Providence, R.I., said the generational divide about recliners is as much about size as it is about style.

“Clients who ask for recliners are usually older folks who want a place to kick back and have the space to accommodate a big chair and a big ottoman,” she said. “Younger people in their 30s and 40s are all about small spaces, less stuff, cleaner decor. They’re cool with the single center ottoman.”

They also may not have the “sentimental attachment” to recliners that their parents do, she said, which means brands can’t count on that as a draw. But that’s perhaps where the strategy behind La-Z-Boy’s new showrooms comes into play. By opening up shop in trendy neighborhoods, the company lets customers see firsthand how much recliners have evolved in the past 40 years.

The Midtown low-profile recliner (from $1,199, la-z-boy.com) is 33.5 inches wide and bears little resem-

Other companies have followed suit, of course, and are selling recliners in sleeker silhouettes and modern fabrics. Ikea’s Muren recliner ($299, ikea.com) is understated with a strip of piping on the trim and could easily be spiced up with a bright throw pillow or fur throw. Room & Board’s Wynton recliner ($1,799-$2,699, roomandboard. com) is impressively narrow at 30 inches wide; splurge for the leather if you want a classic feel without the clunk.

For a more on-trend look, consider the company’s Dalton recliner ($1,699$2,999), which sits on wooden legs (or aluminum, if you prefer) and has a mid- century modern look, or Crate & Barrel’s Torino velvet recliner ($1,499, crateandbarrel.com).

Most recliners need at least a foot between the chair and the wall to allow adequate space to recline, but that’s changing, too. In September, West Elm debuted its first power recliner, the Henry ($999, westelm.com), which glides the seat forward into a horizontal position and lowers the back without significantly changing the chair back’s original position.

To keep up with such technical advances, companies are developing battery packs to allow you to float a power recliner in the middle of a room without the hassle of cords, and outfitting chairs with USB ports so you can charge your devices. Needless to say, most modern recliners ditched the lever a long time ago.

“So long as it doesn’t scream recliner, I like them,” Taylor said. “It’s hard to argue with wanting to put your feet up.”

into their living space. “We wanted to allow the house to merge into the woods,” Ochoa-Brillembourg said.

“That’s the magic of it. It’s a little bit like discovering what a person is like on the inside.

And the exterior is actually pretty now” as well. It had to be a place “where people could commune with one another and still have space for themselves.”

Levinas, who considers himself a minimalist architect, said he aims for practicality. “We tried to keep it as simple as possible, to keep as much as possible of the integrity of the original house,” he said. “We kept 80 percent of the house – the exterior walls and the roof are the same.

We added very little square footage – a walk-in closet in the master bedroom, a garage and two bathrooms.”

The main living area of the 3,100-square-foot home

The main living area of the 3,100-square-foot home essentially became one big room – a combination living room, dining room, family room and kitchen. “This is an island floating in nature. It’s not about being big,” Levinas said.

essentially became one big room – a combination living room, dining room, family room and kitchen. “This is an island floating in nature. It’s not about being big,” he said.

The key to the transformation was to use as much natural light as possible. “We wanted to change the house from night to day,” Levinas said.

The most striking features of the house are the new ceiling in the main living area and the skylight situated above the 20-foot-long island.

Though the exterior of the roof remains the same, Levinas’ design opened the ceiling up to the inside of the roof, raising it 9 inches, to 14 feet.

“We restructured the interior of the roof,” he said.

Creating the skylight was central to the redesign of the house. The purpose of it is not to see the sky but “to bring a shower of light at the core of the house,” Levinas said.

Light also flows into the main living space from the sliding glass doors and win-

dows across the back of the house and at the corners of the main living space. When you enter the house from the front door, you feel like you are walking outdoors because of the light and view of the forest at the back of the house.

The house appears to be floating. At the front is a boardwalk leading to the house and a pond; at the back is a deck and pergola where Levinas designed a wooden table and bench. The house’s original red-brick exterior was painted white to blend with the contemporary design within.

For project architect Maria Gorodetskaya, the biggest challenge was “how to transform the dark Colonial house into a modern, light-filled structure,” she said. “By removing portions of the exterior wall, a strategic connection was made between the indoor and outdoor spaces, bringing the landscape inside.”

The main living space includes four areas: the kitchen, seating areas at either end of

the house that extend to the corners where the glass windows and doors are placed, and a space between the two seating areas dominated by a dining table and six chairs.

The two seating areas are defined by custom-cut sienna rugs and lavender contemporary crescent-shaped seating.

At either end of the main space, open storage units display decorative arts and books.

“At some point, there will be less decoration and more books,” Ochoa-Brillembourg said. The seating area to the far right when you enter the house has a television for those who want to watch while others can read or play games in the adjacent areas.

Floors throughout the house are light gray ceramic, which is easy to clean. The house is designed to be “childproof” and “adolescent-proof,” she said.

The island subtly separates the kitchen from the living and dining areas, and has four

seats to encourage gathering around the island while meal preparation is in progress.

Drawers were designed with varying depths and lengths to store kitchen equipment; a walk-in pantry provides additional storage.

“It’s nice to have an uncluttered space,” Ochoa-Brillembourg said. “It allows more freedom to interact with others. You’re less distracted.

It’s easy to put things away.”

The house accommodates eight people comfortably, she said, including any combination of grown children, grandchildren and friends. Sometimes, the three generations gather together; other times, the children use the house by themselves.

The three original bedrooms remain small, but two bathrooms and a laundry room were added at the other end of the house.

“We didn’t want to make it a gigantic space,” Ochoa-Brillembourg said. “It’s a very contemporary glass shed.”

Shodeen Homes offering Maple Park, Sycamore locations KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK – Responding to new home buyer migration to rural towns, Shodeen Homes has expanded its presence in western Kane and DeKalb counties. The most recent addition has been Squire’s Crossing, located off County Line Road north of Route 38 in Maple Park.

“We are seeing a consistent trend in buyers of all ages making the decision to simplify their lifestyle by leaving highly congested areas and establishing roots in small towns that offer a tranquil, more intimate setting,” Anna Harmon, director of marketing and public relations for Shodeen Homes, said in a news release. “While it is true that these buyers also benefit from getting more for their home-buying dollar than in more densely populated areas, that is not their sole motivation. Great schools, commuter access and conveniences are a necessity, but – at the end of the day – they want to sit on their front porch and decompress, enjoy a friendly neighborhood barbecue or, perhaps, just grab a fishing pole and unwind.”

Shodeen Homes offers single-family ranch and two-story homes at Squire’s Crossing, ranging in size from 1,650 to 2,681 square feet, with three or four bedrooms; two or two-and-a-half baths; nine-foot, first-floor ceilings; kitchens with choice of cabinets, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances; full basements; and two- or three-car garages.

“Maple Park is an idyllic town with a charming main street, weekly bake sales, farmers markets and Friday fish fries, and the Maple Park Fun Fest over Labor Day weekend is organized by community members and features food, fun, a 5K, car show, Kid Zone and more,” Harmon said. “It’s a small town with a big heart, where neighbors help neighbors. In fact, throughout the year the town conducts various fundraisers, collecting money, toys, clothes, and during the holidays distributes all of the donations to local families in need.”

Just west of Squire’s Crossing, Shodeen offers a ranch home for quick delivery at Heritage Hill Estates.

Priced at $293,241, the home features 2,089 square feet of living space, including three bedrooms; two baths; basement with rough-in plumbing;

hardwood flooring; island kitchen with stainless-steel appliances; 42-inch cabinets and granite countertops; master bedroom with tray ceiling; and attached two-car garage.

Located just west of Maple Park and five miles north of I-88, is another small town, Sycamore. Downtown Sycamore offers shops, restaurants and specialty stores, as well as a weekly farmers market from June through September. The city calendar is full of special events, such as the Chocolate Walk; Pumpkin Festival; Ribs, Rhythm and Brews Fest; and Santa Walk.

Shodeen offers homes in three Sycamore communities: Merry Oaks, Heron Creek and Reston Ponds.

Merry Oaks is a picturesque, upscale community highlighted by ponds, walking trails, parks, lush landscaping and offering oversized home sites, stated the release. Homes range from 3,630 to 4,965 square feet of living space, with four or five bedrooms; first-floor master bedrooms per plan; three-and-a-half to four-anda-half bathrooms; “Princess” suites; gourmet kitchens; formal living and dining rooms; first-floor dens; bonus rooms; and three- or four-car garages.

Homes are currently priced from the low $400,000s.

Meanwhile, Heron Creek features parks, ponds, walking trails and lush landscaping just north of Route 64. Ranch and two-story homes up to 3,356 square feet in size are priced from the $260,000s, the release stated.

Finally, Reston Ponds has South East Elementary School in the community, and ranch and two-story designs are offered with prices starting in the $220,000s. Full basements are included with three-car garages available and no SSA fees required, stated the release.

“For buyers who want to begin enjoying peaceful, small-town living today, we offer homes in both Sycamore and Maple Park communities for quick delivery,” Harmon said. “Ranch and two-story homes are available and include a variety of popular options and upgrades.”

Sales for communities in Maple Park and Sycamore are being conducted from the model home at Reston Ponds, located at 345 E. Becker Place in Sycamore.

How to repair ceiling drywall with water damage

By JEANNE HUBER Special to The Washington Post Part of the ceiling drywall in my finished basement has water damage, right below the duct that delivers air to the upper two floors.

I don’t know the cause but suspect condensation because the problem is primarily in the summer. When the problem cropped up two years ago, I thought it was a one-time issue. I cut off the damaged drywall and had plumbers and heating and air-conditioning folks look at the problem.

The plumbers ruled out a plumbing problem and the HVAC techs were of little help. Last August, while I was

abroad, I had installers put on a new roof with more vents and an attic fan triggered by high temperatures or humidity. Now that I’m home, I see new damage. I don’t know whether it occurred before or after the new roof. Will this fix the problem or do I need to cut away lots of drywall to get at the ducts and do some repair on them?

Your new roof and its better ventilation might lower the humidity in your house enough to fix the problem, but it’s more likely that you will also need to insulate the ducts in your basement ceiling. The

condensation is undoubtedly caused by allowing relatively warm, humid air to contact the cold surface of ductwork carrying cool air. It’s just like the sweating that forms on the outside of a glass of ice water on a humid summer day.

An insulation contractor or even a home handyman should be able to help you if you don’t want to tackle the job yourself. You will need to cut into the ceiling drywall, but only directly under the ducts. If you do it carefully, it

Go off beaten path in your backyard

By BARBARA DAMROSCH Special to The Washington Post Once upon a time, there were three little pigs, and they each decided to plant a garden. When it came to making paths in them, each chose a different style. The first pig, who was ambitious and practical, built paths made of brick that led you past little brick-edged beds.

It took him such a long time that he never got around to planting much, but the garden was attractive and was on the garden club tour.

The second pig liked eating more than he liked weeding, so he made large beds mulched with a thick layer of straw and laid straw down in the paths as well.

Apart from attracting a few too many slugs, the straw was a success, and he put lots of vegetables on his table.

The third pig was an innovator and decided to build his paths with sticks – that is, a series of elevated wooden slats that kept his feet dry on muddy days. Because he laid the slats close together, they shaded out most of the weeds as well. The neighbors had never seen this clever solution and came round to admire it.

Technically, these wooden pathways are called duckboards. They’re similar to the boardwalks used in nature

preserves that let you walk through, say, a peat bog and see the wild orchids up close without damaging the plants or sinking into the muck. I’d never seen them used in a garden until my husband showed me a photo of some he’d found on a farm in Germany in 1989, with the slats running lengthwise. But since then, I’ve discovered that a number of websites, such as Northern Tool and Plow & Hearth, sell versions with horizontal slats connected by a flexible material. The slats are close together, for good weed suppression, and the whole thing rolls up for easy storage. What a great idea!

If you like to make things yourself, it’s simple enough to nail lengths of 1-by-3-inch fir strapping to underlying supports made from the same boards. The “paths” can be stacked off to the side if the whole garden needs to be tilled. And because they’re movable, you can rearrange them from one year to the next if you want to change your garden’s layout. Why carve it in brick or stone when you might suddenly need a big space for winter squash?

Treading on wooden walkways also keeps the soil in a path from becoming quite so compact. You might ask, “Why would that matter? Won’t foot traffic inhibit weed growth?” Not

really. A number of weeds – plantain, for example – can take a lot of pounding. And the more pounded the soil, the harder weeds are to dig out. Certain tools, such as the stirrup hoe, with its powerful, horizontally mounted blade, can cut beneath a hard soil surface with surprising ease. Even better is the larger wheel hoe with a stirrup attachment. You can zip down a path with it, wheeling it briskly in front of you and leaving a trail of dead weeds behind you.

But with wooden walkways, you’d have fewer of them to begin with.

Grass paths can be attractive in a garden, but they must be mowed regularly and will invariably creep into the beds. Gravel paths, which seem so inert and trouble-free at first, are soon fertilized by nutritious runoff from the garden around them. Even raised, edged beds leach their contents into the gravel until it turns into a little rock garden against your will.

I try to make my paths as narrow as I can comfortably navigate and put my time into tending the beds instead.

More food on the table, I say, just like that little pig.

Barbara Damrosch is the author of “The Four Season Farm Gardener’s Cookbook”; her website is www.fourseasonfarm.com.

might be possible to reinstall the pieces you cut out, minimizing the amount of taping, sanding and even repainting that you need to do. If you hire a handyman, ask them to do the patching as well as the initial work; it’s a good way to encourage a tidy, waste-minimizing job.

Home centers carry a variety of products designed for insulating ducts. Options at Home Depot include fiberglass Duct Wrap, $36.95 for a roll 2 feet wide by 30 feet long, and Frost King Self-Adhesive Foil

and Foam Duct Insulation, $18.77 for a roll 1 foot wide by 15 feet long.

Make sure the ducts are dry before you press the insulation into place, and be careful to cover the entire duct surface. You might want to wait to reinstall the drywall until you’ve been through a few hot and humid summer days. With the air conditioner running, check for drips or other dampness – a sign that you left a gap in the insulation or that you need to add a second layer.

Q&A

Mitigating rust on ornaments

By JEANNE HUBER Special to The Washington Post Several years ago, we bought some garden ornaments at two salvage/antique stores. I think the pieces were made of brass. They had a lovely verdigris finish, but it has rusted over the years. Is there any way to mitigate the rust, bring back the finish and then use some sort of preservative to keep this from happening again? Or if we can’t restore the finish, is there something we should be doing to prevent the ornaments from deteriorating further?

There’s one sure thing: If these pieces are rusting, they are not brass. They are steel, probably with a sprayed-on metallic finish. The verdigris might have been a clever bit of faux paint.

You can refinish your garden ornaments. Modern Masters (modernmasters. com), owned by the same company that makes Rust-Oleum, Zinsser and Varathane finishes, has the suite of products you need. The store finder on the company’s website shows retailers.

With a wire brush or steel wool, scrub away any loose rust or old paint. Then brush on Modern Masters’ Metal Effects Primer ($18 for a 16-ounce bottle). Standard primer won’t work, Modern Masters warns, because it won’t keep acids in the patina solution from reaching the metal and causing it to rust.

Let the primer dry for at least 12 hours. Then brush on

the first coat of metallic paint.

Modern Masters makes many colors that create a shiny, metallic look thanks to mica in the formula. But for your project, you need a color with the words “oxidizing” and “reactive metallic paint” on the label, which leaves you with three options: iron (for projects in which you’d want a rusted look), copper and bronze. A 16-ounce jar of the copper paint costs $29; bronze is $26.

When the first coat is dry to the touch, after about a half hour, apply a second coat and then immediately spritz it with the patina solution.

You can choose green or blue Patina Aging Solution ($6 for 4 ounces or $16 for 16 ounces) or you can apply a little of each using the spritzer cap ($1). If you want to see some of the untarnished copper or bronze, avoid saturating the surface. You can also adjust the final look by using a small sponge to wipe off the patina or dab on copper or bronze paint over the patina layer.

Once you get the look you want, allow the surface to dry thoroughly. Then brush on a clear protective finish.

Modern Masters suggests its MasterClear Supreme ($44 for 32 ounces). But a leftover clear, water-based finish from another project would probably work, too.
