Changes coming to kcchronicle.com Over the past few years, we’ve not gotten stellar feedback on our website.

Other news websites also have been subject to complaints.

Readers – as well as people in our own newsroom – often have been frustrated just trying to pull up a story on our site as they usually encounter pop-up advertisements, video ads and other disruptive content.

With so many superfluous add-ons, it frequently takes our website a while to load.

Our organization is dedicated to real news, so links to click-bait stories about fad diets and unbelievable photos are not ideal for our website.

And busy readers often don’t have the time to answer survey questions before they read our stories.

That’s why we’re changing.

Visitors to www.kcchronicle.com should notice a cleaner and faster site over the next few weeks. The result will be an improved reading experience.

EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK Kathy Balcazar In the weeks ahead, those who subscribe also should notice a superior e-Edition.

Shaw Media subscription service members also will receive new benefits.

Subscribers will continue to receive The Neighborhood Tourist, a premium glossy magazine featuring exciting things to see and do in and around the region. Readers will receive up to four Neighborhood Tourist magazines a year with their membership.

Along with these upgrades, we’re revising our subscription plan.

Subscribers should soon receive a letter detailing these changes.

Those who don’t receive a letter within the next week or so should

call our customer service hotline at 800-589-9363.

The mission of the Kane County Chronicle is to be the leading source of local news and information in Kane County, providing readers with our content in print and online.

Reader feedback prompted us to make these improvements, and we want to hear your thoughts. Please send an email with your feedback on our new website to comments@shawmedia.com. We’ll also take suggestions for how we can continue to improve the site.

people a chance to really be heard.”

He said the village will continue to diversify its tax base, and he looks forward to the Settlers Ridge development moving ahead. He anticipates new businesses will locate in the area circling the planned new interchange at Interstate 88 and Route 47.

“It’s an honor and humbling to be re-elected,” Herron said. “It’s more difficult to be re-elected. You’re expected to know more, and you are more accountable. It was nice – with the current political climate nationally – that [in] our small town race … we all got along.”

At 34, Squires said she was the youngest candidate and learned a lot about the campaign process, which she described as fun. Other than being elected a convention delegate, this was her first bid for elected office.

“I knocked on a lot of doors,” Squires said. “I think I could run for office again. … I’m going to keep going to the board meetings.”

McCannon, 73, said she felt she would be a good voice for senior citizens and for people with disabilities.

“Everybody thought I was crazy doing this, especially my children,” the former Citizen of the Year said. “I learned a lot. I had highs and lows. I would do it again. It’s an experience I think everybody should do. Get out there and make a difference.”

McCannon has spearheaded numerous community projects, but this was her first run for elected office.

“I’m in a motorized wheelchair,” McCannon said. “That doesn’t shut my voice off. It doesn’t mean I can’t have a voice for people. I will continue to go to board meetings and township meetings.”

On the Kane County Chronicle election questionnaire, Koch, 41, stated: “I want to continue to work toward lower taxes and be an advocate for seniors in Sugar Grove. I also want to finish the work we started in Settlers Ridge and Mallard Point.”

Karas will look to be ‘easily ‘Celebrity bartender’ event accessible, open to citizens’ to benefit Sugar Grove library

By STEFANIE FRAZIER

By RYAN WELLS rwells@shawmedia.com SUGAR GROVE TOWNSHIP – Curt Karas, the newly elected Sugar Grove Township assessor, did more than just build a winning campaign to earn a narrow election night victory April 4. He spent four years obtaining the educational requirements needed to take on the role.

Both efforts proved Curt Karas to be just enough. Unofficial results from Kane County and the Aurora Election Commission show Karas defeated incumbent Laura Ross by 59 votes, 964 to 905.

In a pre-election questionnaire submitted to the Kane County Chronicle, Karas recounted the effort it took just to be considered for the position.

“Several community leaders asked me to run four years ago, just before the last election. I researched the requirements for the office and found

editorial@kcchronicle.com there are special educational prerequisites for the position,” Karas wrote.

“During the last four years, I’ve traveled throughout Illinois attending assessor classes, meeting people from various positions in the profession.

In 2016, I received the Certified Illinois Assessing Officer Designation through the Illinois Property Assessment Institute.”

Karas, a certified public accountant in Sugar Grove, has spent more than two decades serving local taxpayers, and he said he looks forward to continuing those efforts in his new role.

“As the township assessor, I intend to be easily accessible and open to citizens’ concerns, and work with taxpayers to make sure their property is fairly assessed,” he said in his election questionnaire. “I will be a team player working with other members of township and village government.

Neither candidate was available for comment immediately after the election results were posted.

The Sugar Grove Public Library will be part of an adults-only event later this month called Toast for Tunes: A Musical Fundraiser.

The plan is for the library to raise money to buy CDs featuring local musicians. Bands and musicians from the area are invited to donate their CDs to the library as well.

The fundraiser will take place from 7 to 10 p.m. April 20 at The Law Office Pub and Music Hall, 226 S. Bridge St., Yorkville. There is no cover charge.

Sugar Grove Public Library Director Shannon Halikias will be on site as the “celebrity bartender.” All of her tips and other donations will go to the library’s local music collection.

“It’s definitely a little different from things that we usually do,” Halikias said. “It has a unique twist in that it’s outside of the library.”

The event will feature Jazz Trials, in which local musicians take the stage and jam. Rob Gryder, bar manager, said, musicians will include people on the horn, guitar and xylophone, as well as stand-up bass players.

“Sometimes we’ve gotten fiddlers, violin players,” Gryder said. “You just never know. There’s no way to predict.

But it’s always wild.”

Meanwhile, Halikias has a plan.

“I’m going to be working hard that night,” Halikias said with a laugh. “I’m going to be talking to people and shaking hands. And I’m going to be pouring the beer.”

Gryder provided some amusing tips for Halikias.

“She needs to be personable and engaging with the customers,” Gryder said. “She needs to be quick on her feet, pumping drinks out, and she needs to be quick-handed – make the drinks quick.”

Attendees can expect to listen to tunes and perhaps do some dancing.

When it comes to music, Halikias has a connection to it.

“I can remember being a kid in the public library,” Halikias said. “I just really remember feeling saved when I lifted up an album and discovered that I can check out rock or I can check out country. And I discovered all sorts of music. ...

I still love to just go and browse the different collections and finding music. And that should be available for kids today.”

SUGAR GROVE – Looking to help shape the changes coming to their community are the three incumbent village trustees in Sugar Grove who won re-election in a five-way race.

Rick Montalto was the top vote-getter at 498, compared with 493 for Sean Herron, 474 for Ted Koch, 391 for Karen McCannon and 390 for Alison Squires, according to unofficial Rick results.

Montalto Numerous projects are in the works, said Montalto, 62, who thanked residents for their support in the race.

“We’re working diligently to connect all the neighborhoods with bike trails, to bring new businesses into town … and working hard get the Route 47 and I-88 interchange,” he said. “We’re looking at bringing fiber optic more into the community to speed up internet access for residents, negotiating a new garbage con-

tract that will increase services and decrease the monthly bill. We’re working hard on a project right now to finish water looping from Settlers Ridge to Prestbury, which uses our Sean water. The whole town Herron will be looped with water [for] better pressure and better quality.”

Herron, 39, said campaigning as an incumbent this time around meant he could help constituents who raised Ted Koch questions and issues.

“People bring up their concerns, and I’m able to … work with some of those right away,” he said. “This time I covered every neighborhood once and five a second time. I tried to get a chance to talk to as many people as possible.”

He said it makes residents feel that the village is listening to them.

“It’s always an issue with communication,” he said. “With any government body during campaign season, it gives

BLACKBERRY TOWNSHIP – Incumbent Blackberry Township Supervisor Fred Dornback handily won another term, with 874 votes to challenger Esther Steel’s 557, according to unofficial results April 4.

Dornback stepped into the position in 2014 after Dennis Ryan – who beat him in a 2013 contest for supervisor – resigned suddenly a year into his term.

“I feel there was good Fred support for the entire Dornback board, me and the other elected officials,” Dornback said.

“It’s not just me as the supervisor,” Dornback said. “We do as a board. And the important thing that is coming up is the April 11 budget hearings and annual town meeting. I put it on the agenda – the possibility of another road referendum.”

Blackberry Township has 57 miles of road, and its road fund does not have enough money to do proper maintenance and repairs, Dornback said.

“Engineering studies show if we wait to do the work, costs increase significantly,” Dornback said.

This would be the township’s third request to raise its tax rate to support its roads. Voters turned down two earlier requests for an increase in 2013 and 2015, records show.

For her part, Steel said she felt good about the race she ran. “I feel good about the campaign, about the way I conducted myself,” Steel said. “I have maintained integrity and credibility and honesty, and that is what is important to me.”

Steel, who served 12 years on the Geneva Public Library Board – nine years as president – before moving to Blackberry Township, said she has never run a contentious campaign.

“I’m new out here. Not many people know me,” Steel said. “I think I need to make an effort to continue. I

just might do it again in four years, but now I need to regroup. I will continue to stay involved in the community and get to know more people, and then I’ll decide in a couple years what I want to do.”

Steel had taken issue with Dornback and other incumbent township trustee candidates who ran as a slate called the Blackberry Independent Party.

“I felt there was definitely a manipulation to put themselves first [on the ballot] and to put themselves as an independent party to garner votes,” Steel said. “Their bloc worked against me.”v Though Steel questioned the legality of the Blackberry Independent Party, Dornback defended its formation for the election.

“In December, before the election primary, the parties’’ Democrats and Republicans have the right to caucus and neither of them did,” Dornback said.

“Anyone running for a township position can do that either as an independent or form a political party,” Dornback said. “That’s what we did, is form a political party because that was the only way we could get on the ballot as a slate.”

Board to have Sparber, Lawler, Rivas for next term

By RYAN WELLS rwells@shawmedia.com The Kaneland School Board will see a new face among its ranks, as Aaron Lawler will join the board after his second-place finish in the April 4 election, according to unofficial results from Kane and DeKalb counties and the Aurora Election Commission.

Shana Sparber led all candidates with 1,505 votes, followed by Lawler with 1,415, Noah Little with 1,367, and Pedro Rivas with 1,076.

Due to an election regulation that limits the number of board members residing from the same township, Little, the third-place winner, did not win the third open seat on the Kaneland School Board. Only three board members can reside from the same township, and two current board members already live in Sugar Grove.

With Lawler and Little also residing

in Sugar Grove, it ultimately became a race between the two. Rivas won the third seat.

Meanwhile, current board member Shana Sparber was the top Shana vote-getter in the race.

“Since only one per- Sparber son can win from Sugar Grove, it’s kind of by default that I was going to be one of the three,” Sparber said.

A board member since October, Sparber said she is looking forward to continuing her work with the rest of the board.

“We have a strong board, and we have been working well with the district administration. I’m looking forward to working with everyone on the strategic plan and getting that implemented,” she said.

When Sparber first joined the board, she was happy with the positive

environment in which she found herself.

“People reached out to me to help me; it’s a really good group of people,” she said.

Now that the April Aaron Lawler 4 election is over, soon Lawler will go through a similar experience, and he said he is looking forward to it.

“I am grateful to my neighbors and friends who came out and supPedro Rivas ported me today,” Lawler said as the final votes were being tallied on April 4. “All four of us were great candidates, and we would all do great things for our children. This whole process has been so educational, and I really feel more connected to the community.”

Neither Little nor Rivas were available for comment as of press time.

Voters approve $50M land improvement referendum

By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com Kane County voters have approved the $50 million land acquisition and improvement referendum put forward by the Kane County Forest Preserve District Commission.

Unofficial totals on the night of April 4 came in at 24,517 in favor and 20,982 against.

“I’m very pleased with the outcome and grateful to having the voters be the ones that can actually decide on these things – to have the validation of their votes is really important to us at the forest preserve,” said Mark Davoust, treasurer for the commission.

He said that with the election over, the district looks forward to completing planned projects. “We couldn’t do it without the staff at the forest preserve district,” he said. “They do a great job.”

The positive outcome of the vote is a relief, said Monica Meyers, the district’s executive director. She praised

The $50 million referendum by Kane County Forest Preserve District Commission not only envisions land acquisition, but also natural resources improvements to sites such as Nelson Lake Marsh in Batavia’s Dick Young Forest Preserve. the efforts of the volunteer committee of The Conservation Foundation for promoting passage of the referendum.

“The Conservation Foundation did such a phenomenal job,” she said. “We couldn’t be more thrilled.”

She said one of the things

that came out in the poll conducted by the foundation was the public’s support of natural areas improvements. And one of the coming priorities will be at Dick Young Forest Preserve, making sure that Nelson Lake Marsh gets rehydrated for a wildlife habitat, Meyers said.

She said that right up until election, her office fielded many questions from the public on what the district has accomplished through past referendums and future plans for acquisition of open space.

Eighty percent of the money from the referendum is intended for the acquisition of about 2,000 acres of land, and about 20 percent for capital improvement. The funds cannot be used for salaries, pensions or operations, according to Davoust.

Ahead of the election, Davoust explained the tax implications. Because previously issued bonds have been retired or refinanced, taxpayers who own a $250,000 home are scheduled to see a reduction of $104 in their tax bill. By passing the referendum, those homeowners will see $22 less in savings annually for the 20-year life of the bonds.

Future land acquisitions will focus on expanding and connecting existing holdings, a strategy designed to be oper-

ationally efficient, according to Davoust.

There have been four previous referendums since 1999, when the district owned about 7,000 acres. Holdings number almost 21,000 acres today.

In voting on whether to place the referendum on the ballot, three commissioners of 22 dissented. And Kane County Board Chairman Chris Lauzen expressed opposition to the referendum in a letter to the editor sent to the Kane County Chronicle, citing concerns over adequate operational funds for the forest preserve property.

“This was a contentious year,” Kane County Forest Preserve District Commission President Michael Kenyon said. “We’re pretty happy that we got it done.”

He said the goal is to save and protect. “It’s for the people who are going to follow us on this earth,” he said. “The money we spend goes for land, and land is going to be there forever.”

the-clock supervision would be provided for the facility, which would be a “closed campus.” Dean said he personally will be at the facility two weeks a month, and he will hire an executive director, who will be at the location full time.

In response to Plan Commission Chairman Jeff Metcalf’s question as to what holistic care is, Dean explained that it refers to treating the whole person – mind, body and spirit.

He said that treatment of the mind in addiction is key, but that addressing the body and the spirit are also important.

Based on his own experience with addiction and long-term recovery, Dean said that people with addictions typically neglect their bodies. He said through yoga, tai chi and other exercise, clients can begin to heal their bodies. In addition, he said spirituality has been shown to enhance recovery. He said people with an addiction typically experience a sense of isolation from an extended period of keeping friends and family at a distance, and an emphasis on the use of faith and social interaction can begin to turn that around.

He said he hopes to form a relationship with the Elburn Hill Church, lo-

cated on the campus, as well as with other churches in the area.

Dean has a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling. Before opening his own facility, he worked as a clinical director at several other substance abuse treatment centers in Florida and has since overseen the startup of two other addiction treatment centers in Boston, and Miramar, Fla. He told commissioners he loves the historical value of the building. He doesn’t want to change it and hopes to enhance it. The state licensing process would take 90 days, with an additional 30 days involving the Joint Commission on Accreditation for Healthcare Organizations.

Geneva Realtor Dorothy Kolschowsky spoke during the public hearing, saying she was surprised not to see more people there. She wondered whether people in the community were aware of this possible use of the property.

Kolschowsky said her main concern was how the treatment center might affect property values in town.

“This is Mayberry,” she said. “Do we need this here?”

ELBURN – The Elburn Plan Commission on April 4 recommended that the Village Board approve a special use for a residential drug and alcohol treatment center to occupy the historic building on the Great Lakes Leadership Campus.

Located at 526 N. Main St., the Great Lakes Leadership Campus has been used by numerous churches, companies and individuals for retreats, summer camps, outings, banquets and training sessions.

The building, which originally was Elburn resident John Stewart’s residence, along with the 10 acres of property surrounding it, is currently for sale through Coldwell Banker Commercial Real Estate.

Since the area surrounding the building is zoned residential, the proposed buyer, Thomas Dean, chief operating officer of the Miami Beach Holistic Addiction Treatment Center in Miami Beach, Fla., must request the village’s approval of a special use permit for the building to be used as a medical facility.

Dean attended the Plan Commission public hearing on the property,

which was required to obtain the special use permit. Dean described to commissioners his plans for the Elburn treatment center, which would be similar to the Miami Beach facility he has owned and operated for the past two years.

The treatment center would provide holistic substance and drug abuse and mental health treatment for clients participating in the center’s 45-day program. Dean explained that 80 percent of people with an addiction have a secondary mental health issue, such as anxiety or depression.

He said the facility would only accept adult patients who are willing and able to participate in what he described as a world-class treatment program, similar to the Betty Ford centers. Because the facility would be privately funded, it would not have to accept any involuntary or court-directed clients. Nine out of 10 clients would use insurance to pay for the treatment.

“I want people willing and able to get treatment to be able to get treatment,” he said.

The maximum resident population would be 40 clients. The facility would be staffed 24 hours a day, with between 30 and 40 full-time employees. Around-

Jake Epperly, who has owned and operated several treatment centers in Geneva similar to the one proposed in Elburn, including one at Hamilton and Third streets, said that he has not seen any evidence of property values having been affected.

Metcalf noted that drug addiction is currently a prevalent problem. He said that he personally has lost a young family member to drugs.

“I think you picked a perfect spot,” Metcalf said.

Although the Plan Commission voted unanimously (Chris Mulvihill and Chris Gould were absent) to recommend approval of the special use to the board, three commissioners – Mary Gustafson, Randy Ream and Bob Houtz – voted no on whether the proposed use met all nine standards for the special use permit.

After the meeting, Gustafson said she didn’t have any problem with the treatment program itself. Her concern was that the proposed use for the facility would end up altering the historical beauty of the residence.

Ream said that his no vote was in

response to Kolschowsky’s comments regarding whether the community was aware of the proposal. He said he wanted to make sure that enough people were notified.

“I think it [that use] really fits the environment of the deaconry,” Houtz said. “I just wasn’t sure that Elburn was ready to embrace the situation.”

Houtz said he thinks the village needs more information and more input from the community before moving forward.

Elburn Building Commissioner Tom Brennan said that the legal requirements for notifying the community had been met. On April 5, Brennan explained that a notice of the public hearing was posted in the Kane County Chronicle, as well as on a sign in front of the building. Letters were sent to residents and property owners within 250 feet of the building, but since the building is located on a 10-acre campus, only four addresses received notices.

The request for the special use permit will now go on to the Village Board for its review.

Hepatica leaves soak up the warm, almost-spring sun.

Hepatica is derived from the Latin word meaning “plant having liver-shaped parts.” Not coincidentally, it was once used medicinally to treat liver ailments.

Learning the signs that spring has sprung Even though this winter has been anything but wintry, I think it’s safe to say we’re all in the mood for spring.

In honor of this, the week of the vernal, or spring, equinox, try to find a few minutes to take in these undeniable signs that spring has sprung.

Woodpeckers are drumming incessantly on anything they can find that produces resonance. A downy woodpecker behind my house has been whacking a dead box elder branch for more than a month now, and I received a call just the other day from a person wondering what to do about the woodpecker that has discovered just how mighty he can sound while drumming on an aluminum gutter.

Woodcock have taken up residence in many local wetlands. Besides the wet field behind Hickory Knolls, they’ve been heard conducting their sunset performances at Ferson Creek Fen, Leroy Oakes Forest Preserve and several other high-quality wetlands throughout Kane County.

Skunk cabbage, the earliest blooming of our native wildflowers, has been up for a while now. If you happen to be heading to Ferson Creek Fen for woodcock viewing, plan to arrive a little earlier than dusk, so

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto you’ll have enough light to spot the skunk cabbage patch near the first (or westernmost) viewing platform along the south trail, which also is known as Icehouse Road.

Hepatica, another early bloomer, is changing its liver-colored leaves to green, a sign that buds will soon be forming. Look for hepatica in rich woodlands such as Norris Woods in St. Charles; you also can find hepatica at Hickory Knolls on the eastern slope of Water Tower Hill.

Chorus frogs have been reported testing out their vocal sacs on warm days. Wind is tough on these little guys, and we’ve had a lot of it lately.

But if they can find a sheltered spot in an ephemeral pond – their preferred habitat – they will come together to produce their namesake chorus day and night.

Robins have been sighted just about everywhere, and their numbers seem to be growing daily. None of them are singing yet, at least not that I’ve heard, so it’s tough to tell whether

Note to readers This column has been updated. It was originally published in 2012. these birds are here to stay, or are still on their journey to points north. But it’s still fun to see this quintessential sign of spring performing its quintessential behavior – pulling earthworms from the ground. (Yep, it’s been that balmy – the ground is worm-warm already.)

Love is in the air for several species of birds of prey. Hickory Knolls’ resident redtails have been spotted in flight together almost daily for a couple of weeks now. Just the other day we saw them circling after each other high in the sky, emitting some chirpy mating calls along with the occasional “kee-eeeeer.” (If you’ve learned your bird calls by watching movies, you may at first think the redtail is imitating a bald eagle. But that’s not the case. Somewhere along the way, Hollywood sound guys decided that the redtail’s call was a much more suitable sound for our nation’s symbol than its actual call, which is a wimpy sounding squeak.)

Speaking of bald eagles, the numerous birds that had headed south, from Wisconsin to Illinois, for winter have – for the most part – packed their bags and headed back north. The local population has grown to a point where individuals reliably can be spotted up and down the Fox River, especially near dams in Aurora.

I could go on and on about the signs nature is giving that a change of seasons is upon us, but I don’t think that’s really necessary. Instead, take this challenge: Head outside to see and hear, and even smell, the signs of spring that surround us. Count how many you come up with in a half hour’s time. Ten? You’re pretty good.

Twenty? You’re more observant than most. Thirty or more? That’s actually a sign in itself – a sign that you’re a true nature nerd.

It takes one to know one.

Kaneland School District 302 will no longer utilize Cenergistic’s energy-savings program.

The decision was made during the Kaneland School District 302 Board of Education meeting April 10. Pedro Rivas was the lone board member who disagreed with the decision. The total cost to terminate the contract was $132,650.

“We get involved in this type of program, and now we want to get out of it,” Rivas said. “ ... I find it hard to believe that we’re stepping away and going to have to pay for it.”

The contract with Cenergistic dates to May 2014. In November, it was reported that the district saved $142,788 during the second year of the program, raising the total savings to $246,767.

That doesn’t take into account the costs for the district to participate, which includes $108,000 annually for the program and $6,650 for measurement software.

The initial hope was for the district to save about $2.1 million over 10 years.

That hope has suddenly dissipated.

Board member Ryan Kerry debated whether it made the most sense to cut ties with Cenergistic at this time,

with concerns that savings projections weren’t being met and likely wouldn’t be met in the near future.

“If the savings haven’t materialized yet, it’s difficult to believe it will materialize in the next couple of years,” he said. “It’s just tough to eat that $130,000.”

With a projected budget deficit of about $1.5 million for 2018-19, cuts like this one have been deemed necessary to help reduce the projected future deficit.

“I believe we all want to save money, and each dollar saved goes back to the classroom,” said Dr. Julie-Ann Fuchs, associate superintendent.

“That has been a priority in facing these financial challenges for the past 10 years. Choking on that $132,000 for nothing is disappointing, so I feel your pain.”

There was brief discussion that they’d hold off cutting ties and allow Cenergistic to come back with another offer, but the board didn’t share optimism that things would change.

“Realistically, we know they have their costs, their salaries of people, so I don’t think they could reduce much, and we don’t have faith in their ability to find further savings anyway,” said Theresa Witt, board president. ‘I would rather cut bait at this point.”

We lucked out with a sunny, though chilly, evening, and I set to work to try my hardest to look for something new happening and a different angle. Fans lined up outside the gates, were handed souvenir hats commemorating the game and headed to the field to try to get autographs with their favorite players. All wonderful moments, which I’ve photographed time and again. I diligently grabbed those shots because those photographs tell the story of the day, but I continued to look for something else to suit my fancy.

Just before they took the field for a final warmup, I noticed players Luis Basabe, Luis Silverio and Ramon Hernandez all huddled together. They could’ve been praying, or just having quiet reflection. I didn’t want to intrude too much.

a way to do something fun that might be of benefit to our community.

Any tips or donations I personally receive (though hardworking staff will NOT be stiffed this evening!) will go to buy local music CDs to add to our library collection. As Robert and I sat talking, the bells went off in my head and I realized that we have the latest Kanye, classical production or Adele ... but we are sorely lacking on local music. And how important is it to carry these items as we contribute to the cultural economy in our region?

Very!

Any funds raised, or CDs donated by local musicians, will be placed in our collection to infuse our holdings with our own local flavors. As we share resources in our catalog with a host of other libraries, this new collection will likely become vital.

I hope that community members will stop by and visit that night and enjoy some fantastic music, a craft beer brewed anywhere from Illinois to Colorado, and support the Sugar Grove Public Library. I’ll do my best to keep up behind the bar, or at least not break anything, and I promise a friendly smile. It will be a full night of music and fun, with no cover charge.

The Law Office Pub and Music Hall is located at 226 S. Pub St. in Yorkville, and you may also RSVP for the event on the library’s Facebook page.

Partnerships can come in the most unique of ways. It is a known fact that I, as most librarians can be, am a tremendous supporter of literature, art and music. But perhaps a little-known fact is that I spent many years bartending in music venues as I worked my way through school.

The heavy lifting and labors of my long lost 20-something years are still skills used today as multitasking, problem solving and graciousness are hallmarks of good management and service in libraries. I will be able to use some of those skills as I “celebrity bartend” at the new Law Office Pub and Music Hall in Yorkville for a special night from 7 to 10 p.m. April 20. I hope you will join us for a night of Toast for Tunes: A Musical Fundraiser, with proceeds benefitting the collections of the Sugar Grove Public Library.

I stopped by The Law Office one night to hear some wonderful jazz and blues and had a conversation with Robert Gryder, the friendly bar manager. He has deep roots in the area, as well as a special place in his heart for libraries. His mother spent years serving as a trustee at both the Yorkville and Plano public libraries; library love and community service seems to run in his blood.

The new Law Office Pub and Music Hall is owned by Boyd Ingemumson, and his family used to have their family legal practice in this historic building. After the practice was moved, the building was renovated to be a music venue and opened in May 2015. The venue focuses on local music, independent and unique acts, as well as special nights of open jam sessions that have become favorites of local musicians.

Recent acts have included Aaron Kelley, Lindsey Ward (brilliant violin and looping), Noah Gabriel and Jake Mack, all performing in the rich tradition of creativity in the Fox Valley region and Kane County. In the course of our evening conversation, Robert and I discovered a shared love of partnership and collaboration, and cooked up

By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Lawsuits against Fox Valley gangs are helping curb their activities, Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon said at his monthly press briefing, which also highlighted the work of local agencies during Child Abuse Prevention Month.

The state’s attorney’s office has filed four law- Joe suits since 2010 against McMahon gangs in Aurora and Elgin. A recently won 2013 lawsuit successfully has placed an injunction against an Elgin gang, prohibiting members from congregating and wearing gang colors, as well as having weapons or cans of spray paint used for graffiti.

McMahon said it gives gang members a way out of the group if they are looking to escape and also curtails recruitment. “It strikes at the heart of gang activity,” he said. “I’m hopeful this injunction will be one more tool that the Elgin Police Department and the community have to push back against gang activity.”

Joining McMahon at the briefing were Gloria Bunce, executive director of CASA Kane County (court appointed special advocates), whose trained volunteers represent the best interests of abused or neglected children in the courts; and Lori Schmidt, an assistant state’s attorney and the interim director of the Child Advocacy Center, a branch of the state’s attorney’s office.

Those organizations – along with the Kane County Regional Office of Education – make up a three-year-old partnership whose goals include encouraging people to report suspected incidents of child abuse.

“If you see something, say something,” Bunce said. She emphasized it’s up to everyone, not just the mandated reporters, among whom are members of the medical and legal professions, along with educators and school employees.

“These children deserve to feel loved and valued and to be safe,” Bunce said.

Because children often do not disclose the abuse they are experiencing until they are older, McMahon said it is vital for others to make a call to the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services hotline or local police.

“Many cases started with a phone call, not a cry out from the direct victim,” McMahon said, noting the abusers frequently are people the children thought they could trust.

Schmidt said the delayed disclosure makes the cases more difficult because it brings into question whether a judge will believe that child years later. “It shows a tremendous amount of bravery when they walk into the courtroom,” Schmidt said.

On April 20, the Child Advocacy Center will conduct a balloon launch outside its offices, releasing one balloon for each of the 330 cases it handled in 2016.

The public event will begin at 3 p.m. and will feature a guest speaker.

She said everyone should consider themselves a mandated reporter. And McMahon said there are no exceptions in the obligation to notify authorities of suspected abuse, adding that there is no legal liability for making a report in good faith.

He said people can make anonymous calls to report their suspicions, and if there is an innocent explanation upon investigation by the Department of Children and Family Services, the case will be resolved quickly. “Trust your gut – make the call,” Schmidt said.

Bunce said signs bearing the DCFS hotline number of 800-25-ABUSE are available to post at businesses and outside of homes to increase awareness.

There were nearly 4,000 hotline calls last year in Kane County alone, according to CASA. For information, call CASA at 630232-4484 or visit casakanecounty.org.

Details on mandated reporting, including a podcast, are offered at www.casakanecounty.org/MANDATED-REPORTING.

LETTERS Watching and wincing

I am proud to say that I recently survived the monumental ordeal of the statewide, in-school SAT test.

After five hours of blood, sweat and tears in the testing classroom, I emerged with minimal damage beyond a burnt-out brain and a hungry stomach. OK, maybe I’m exaggerating a little bit … but, seriously, five hours of Scantron bubbling will do that to you.

Aside from the fact that juniors had to go to school while the rest of the Geneva High School student body slept in, the SAT wasn’t really all that bad. I had taken the ACT previously, and while there are certainly differences between the two tests, I felt better prepared for the testing in general after taking one of them. The test was reflective of course material I had been working on for all of high school, so in a way, it was very fulfilling to put everything I had learned into practice.

AMENDMENT

THE WRITE PLACE Emma Chrusciel A lot of students dread taking the SAT, ACT and other college entrance exams, which is understandable considering the massive amount of preparation that goes into these tests, and the ensuing pressure to succeed. While I don’t have a problem with the tests themselves, I do have a problem with people putting emphasis on them to the point where unnecessary stress is created. Think about it: People spend exorbitant amounts of money on tutors and excessive amounts of time on practice tests, all because SAT and ACT scores are portrayed as a major factor in getting into an ideal college or receiving scholarships.

Even though we all know that much more goes into

college acceptance than a standardized test score, it often seems like that number can stand between you and the school of your dreams.

Especially with merit-based scholarships, sometimes a difference of one point can mean a difference of thousands of dollars. With all this in mind, it’s no wonder that everyone places so much importance on these exams. And within reason, perhaps that additional pressure is helpful for motivating students to do their best.

However, the problem occurs when students start to define themselves and their academic abilities based on the score they receive. I cannot stress this enough: An ACT or SAT score is not the sole measure of your intelligence, your capability or your worth. A test score measures your ability to fill in the right bubbles and answer an essay prompt; it does not measure what truly makes a person

unique and special.

With that in mind, I want to urge my fellow students that they are more than a score. Put in the appropriate time and energy to prepare for the tests, but remember that at the end of the day, they are not the only factor in determining your future. Give the tests your due attention and best effort, and when you get your scores, remember that they only reflect a fraction of everything that makes you who you are.

And to the current sophomores, keep all this advice in mind when you’re taking the SAT next year and I’m sleeping in!

To the editor: Former Denver and Bears quarterback Jay Cutler amassed some pretty impressive stats in 11 seasons – hoisting 208 touchdowns among the 2,782 completions in 4,491 tries (62 percent), and garnering 32,467 yards. But one stat not listed is the times an even bigger hulk tossed the 6-foot-3, 225-pound Cutler to the hard turf like a rag doll. I winced watching every sack, not because of the damage it did to the Bears’ victory chances, but to the fragile brain banging around in Cutler’s cranium.

Cutler turns 34 in a month, has a lovely wife and three little kiddies at home to go along with a fortune north of $50 million earned throwing a pigskin and getting smashed into the sod. Cutler should consider the closing chapter in the long and now sad life of Kansas Comet and Bears great Gale Sayers and quietly hang it up.

Maybe Jay should grab a Starbucks to discuss the matter (no pun intended) with fellow Bears QB Jim McMahon. Then again, not a good idea. The punky QB will likely stare blankly at Jay and wonder why he’s even there.

Kaneland girls take second at home meet

By LENNY EISELE editorial@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK – Host Kaneland took second place at the 39th Holmes Invitational Girls Track Meet, getting strong performances all along the lineup.

Knights senior sprinter Nicole Sreenan took first place in the 100-meter dash in 12.56 seconds and won the 200 in 26.26 seconds.

“It was pretty good,” she said. “This is actually my first meet of the season.

… It worked out pretty good, I think.”

Freshman Rachel Richtman took first for the Knights in the 3,200 run in 11:41 and second place in the 1,600 in 5:28.

“I just stayed with the girl who was ranked first for the first mile and a half and then at the 800 [mark], I decided that I would push the pace and see what I could do,” Richtman said.

Kaneland junior Cierra Kuipers took first in the pole vault by clearing a height of 10 feet, 6 inches.

“It feels good to see the hard work pay off. [I’ll] just keep working harder and see what comes next,” Kuipers said.

The Knights swept the top three spots in the pole vault with Sydney Davidson coming in second and Lexie Guerra coming in third behind Kuipers.

“It’s good for us to be all going around the same height because we are competing against one another,” Kuipers said.

Also for Kaneland, Becca Richtman

placed sixth in the 800 run (2:34.13), Kerrie Brolley took fifth (17.96 seconds) and Haley Goodine (18.11) was sixth in the 100-meter hurdles, Avery Smith placed sixth in the 100 dash (13.37), and Emma Stoker took fourth in the 200 dash (28.15).

The 4x200-meter relay team was third in 1:53.61, and the 4x400-meter relay was fifth in 4:30.56.

“I was happy with them,” Kaneland coach Doug Ecker said. “I thought they all competed well.”

Norman sets tone in Kaneland’s baseball win

By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Kaneland’s baseball team got a boost from an ingrown toenail.

Knights designated hitter Josh Norman had a physical to enlist in the National Guard end prematurely the morning of April 10 because of the minor condition, which allowed him to come back and have a big offensive day in Kaneland’s 8-1 victory over DeKalb in the first Northern Illinois Big 12 East game of the season for each team.

“The guy takes off my sock and says, ‘You got an ingrown toenail here. You can’t have that, so you’ll have to get that fixed and then you can come back and enlist,” Norman said. “I didn’t think I’d be playing because I thought the process would be a lot longer. I got done with everything about 10:40 and I let coach know I’d be able to play in the game and here I am. I guess I had a good day, you could say.”

Kaneland coach Brian Aversa said he originally didn’t think Norman would be available for the game, assuming he would be enlisting in Rosemont all day. Norman ended up going 3 for 4 with three RBIs for the Knights in the win over the Barbs.

“He was putting the ball in play and doing his job for us, getting guys in,” Aversa said. “He was a big key for us to win.”

Kaneland leadoff hitter Jack Marshall went 3 for 4 with two runs, and Preston Havis added two hits. The

Barbs, meanwhile, finished with just three hits as a team.

Joshua Pollastrini threw a complete game for the Knights, striking out three and walking two on 97 pitches.

“Anytime you can throw a complete game with the new pitch guidelines and come out with a victory, it’s a good thing,” Aversa said. “Josh gave it his all. He was throwing strikes. He was getting a little off at the end, but we had confidence in him and the defense played real well behind him.”

The game ended on a bizarre note, with the final out being called for the Barbs hitting out of order. Ian Panke, who had hit in the No. 9 slot all game but was listed on the lineup card as the No. 8 hitter, reached on a Kaneland error, scoring Eric Nelson, before the error was pointed out to the umpire

by Aversa, taking the run off the board and ending the game.

The Knights (4-4 overall, 1-0 in NIB 12) blew the game open in the top of the third, scoring five runs on four hits and two costly DeKalb errors. Luke Calabrese had an RBI single for Kaneland in the inning, and Norman followed with a two-run single up the middle.

Kaneland’s Robert Dudzinski added an RBI single in the win.

“We didn’t hit the ball today,” DeKalb coach Dedric Wright said.

“We didn’t hit the ball and we didn’t field the ball. When you score one run, Matthew Apgar - mapgar@shawmedia.com you’re not going to win many games. ...

That third inning we made two crucial Kaneland’s Josh Norman is caught in a rundown April 10 in a game at DeKalb. Norman had errors on fly balls.” three hits and drove in three runs in the Knights’ 8-1 conference win.

Fun is the name of the game at the old ballpark Harry Caray often said, “You can’t beat fun at the old ballpark.”

So why is there a limit on how much you can have?

Wait, let me rephrase that question.

Why is there a rule, written or unwritten, about having too much fun?

Technically, there isn’t. Rule 3-3-1f-2 states, “A coach, player, substitute, attendant or other bench personnel shall not commit any unsportsmanlike act to include, but not limited to, use of profanity, intimidation tactics, remarks reflecting unfavorably upon any other person, or taunting or baiting. The NFHS disapproves of any form of taunting. PENALTY: The umpire shall warn the offender unless the offense is judged to be major, in which case an ejection shall occur.”

I saw some of that fun already in these first weeks of the high school baseball season, but I didn’t know what it really was. I watched players slide into second base with doubles and then grab a handful of dirt, rise to

QUILL THE UMPIRE Chris Rollin Walker their feet, peer in toward the dugout while grimacing with delight and then sprinkle the dirt to the ground. Huh? Apparently, I’m old and unhip because I was clueless to what I was witnessing, but it was nothing unsportsmanlike. Silly, but nothing that would offend anyone, right?

Thanks to fellow umpire Mike Finstein, I soon found out about this celebration. Apparently, Mookie Betts of the Red Sox did this at first base during spring training as homage to, of all things, a video of Turkish chef Nusret Gökçe, who became a hit on social media after a video of him flamboyantly sprinkling salt on a carved steak made the rounds. I wonder if Gökçe has ever thrown a baseball, owned a baseball card, such

as Billy Ripken’s Fleer from 1989, or even knows the lyrics to “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” I’m guessing he’d strike out on all three. Nonetheless, he’s now part of baseball!

While I enjoy celery salt on my Chicago-style hot dogs, I don’t think what Betts did makes him one, but I have to wonder how long before an opposing pitcher or coach gets ticked off about such a display of emotion.

I can imagine hearing it now, “C’mon, blue, he’s putting salt in our wounds! That’s blatant taunting!”

Please. Sadly, it’ll probably happen sooner than later. What a shame.

Can’t we just let the players have fun while playing the game? Does everything have to be scrutinized with a fine-tooth comb?

If anything, I’m happy kids are doing silly things like guys in the Bigs because it means that they’re watching the pros play the game.

What’s so wrong with someone showing some emotion? If you’re

down to your last strike in the bottom of the seventh inning in the deciding game of a conference series and you hammer a three-run walk-off home run, are you just supposed to trot around the bases looking as serious as Christopher Walken and then grab a quick cup of Gatorade before picking up your bat bag and heading to the parking lot and then maybe to Steak ’N Shake for a post-game treat? Why can’t you shout and give Tears for Fears a little 1980s flashback love to your parents while jumping for joy with your teammates without offending the other team?

The same can be said if the pitcher didn’t surrender such a bomb, but caught the batter looking to seal the victory. Why can’t he jump up in the air, pump his fist, scream “Yes!” and then get mugged by his teammates without hurting the losing team’s feelings?

PREP ROUNDUP

Kaneland boys get solid efforts in distance races, field events KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com

April 6, the Knights scored five runs in the third inning of an 8-4 win.

Hannah Theobald hit a home run as part of a 3-for-4 day. Natalie Kraemer also had a multihit effort. Ally Jesionowski pitched five innings and Emily Erickson pitched two scoreless innings for the save.

Kaneland won in dramatic fashion the next day as Donatela Sommesi’s triple scored Morgan Weber in the bottom of the eighth inning for a 10-9 win against LaSalle-Peru.

L-P scored five runs in the seventh to take the lead before Katie Kurzrock singled home the tying run in the bottom of the inning.

Sommesi, Weber, Jesionowski, Hailey Roach, Theobald and Lexi Abruzzo had multiple hits, and Sommesi and Kraemer each drove in two runs.

ST. CHARLES – Field events and distance races were the strong suits for Kaneland’s boys track and field team at the Les Hodges invite at St. Charles North on April 7.

Clayton Hannula was the winner in both the discus (150 feet, 3 inches) and the shot put (56 feet).

Drew Gould (6 feet in high jump) and Danny Walker (14 feet in pole vault) both finished third, while Ian Stoll (37-6 in triple jump) and Grant Wilk (12-0 in pole vault) were fifth.

On the track, Matthew Richtman was second in the 1,600-meter run (4:31.51), and Daniel Occhipinti took third in the 800 run (2:05.31). The 4x200 relay team of Matt Noel, Cody Delarme, Adam Rivas and Gould took second (1:35.46). Delarme, Noel, Rivas and Matt Redman were third in the 4x400 relay Kaneland girls soccer (3:40.97), and Sam Webster, Redman, Second-half goals by Holly CollingRichtman and Andrew Kantola were bourne (two goals) and Gabrielle third in the 4x800 relay (8:54.14).

the platform in Champaign holding the state championship trophy, not once, but five times,” said Fred Muehleman, former principal at Driscoll. “Pat Ryan helped to make that possible.”

Ryan also works as the RTI Facilitator at Kaneland and is an assistant boys track coach.

“This was a big hire for our high school and it wasn’t just me. We had a committee and brought in eight of the 50 applicants,” said Peter Goff, Kaneland’s athletic director. “He’s got a lot of great ideas and you could see when he coaches how excited he got and how the kids related so well to him. We’re excited to see where it goes from here, and with him, it’s not just football, but track and as one of our RTI coordinators.”

Ryan stood out from the other applicants.

“During the second interview we asked to see different plans and everyone had some good ideas but Pat really stood out,” Goff said. “He’s got his eyes on the prize and we wanted to keep things rolling, so we’re excited to have him.”

Ryan replaces Fedderly, who was

an assistant for Thorgesen for 14 years before getting the head coaching gig.

Fedderly went 4-5 during his first season, then proceeded to make the playoffs in seven of his 10 seasons.

The Knights, however, have missed the playoffs in two of the past three years.

“There’s going to be some challenges, but I’m hoping that we can bring back a winning tradition,” Ryan said.

“We’ve got a good nucleus of kids coming back and we’ve got some strong seniors next year.”

Quarterback Jack Douglas, running back Jonathan Alstott, fullback Chaz Shaw, wide receivers Alex Moses and Josh Marczuk and linemen Matt Payton and Drew Hahn are just a handful of the top players who are set to return next fall.

“We like what we have back, but we know there are some challenges, including in the middle school, which has struggled a bit,” Ryan said. “It’s something we definitely can work on, and I’m just excited for the opportunity and to get started.”

into a brawl. Instead of fighting, they should’ve just gone out and beat them, like the Cardinals did to the Giants 30 years ago.

Jeffrey Leonard was the so-called transgressor showing off his “one flap down trot” in the 1987 NLCS. While it may have irritated St. Louis fans, it seemingly inspired the Cardinals who shut out the Giants in the final two games of the best-of-7 series to advance to the World Series.

Jose Oquendo, who blasted a threerun home run in the second inning of the decisive game, said that “[Leonard] didn’t need to do that. But that fired us up. He didn’t need to act like that going around the bases, but he did. And you see what happened.”

So, if you don’t like someone getting emotional, go out and beat them and wipe the smiles off their faces while doing so. Isn’t that the simple solution for true competitors?

Getting back to the WBC, I have to say I really enjoyed watching it.

Seriously, how much fun were those games? And if you ignored it, that’s too bad. You really missed out on a lot of good, exciting, fun baseball.

There’s that word again. Fun. Like Harry said, you can’t beat fun at the old ballpark even if those daddy-downer old-fashioned purists try to convince you otherwise.

Continue to have fun fellas.

Continued from page 24 Now, there certainly is a line, and as umpires we’ll take care of that if it’s crossed and celebrations turn into baiting, taunting or intimidation tactics. My guess is that it’s mostly going to continue being kids having fun, playing the game they love and finally being allowed to show more emotion this spring and beyond.

This has been a hot topic especially after Ian Kinsler of the Tigers took offense to the emotional play of two foreign countries in the World Baseball Classic.

“I hope kids watching the WBC can watch the way we play the game and appreciate the way we play the game as opposed to the way Puerto Rico plays or the Dominican plays,” he said.

What’s Kinsler’s problem?

What he doesn’t realize is the game is changing and it’s far more accepting of emotions from players than it was in the past, and I think it will continue to trend that way.

Consider Jose Bautista’s outrageous bat flip in the 2015 ALDS. Was it extreme? Yes. Was it unforgettable?

No. Can you blame Bautista for reacting how he did when delivering such a clutch home run? No, and anyone in their right mind couldn’t.

The Rangers didn’t get over it though and let it linger until the following season and ended up getting

MAPLE PARK – Few have been called head football coach at Kaneland.

Pat Ryan has joined that select company.

At a school board meeting April 10, the longtime assistant coach for the Knights was named just the third head coach at the school in the past 35 years.

“It’s kind of been 10 years in the making for me,” Ryan said. “Ever since sixth grade, most kids grow up dreaming of being a player and I always dreamed of being a coach, and I always thought I was going to coach the Bears. That’s been my joke. I guess I’ll settle for Kaneland High School.

“I’m super excited. Kaneland has been my home and my family for the last nine years and I can’t wait to get started. The kids are great. I have a great group of guys to coach with and a supportive administration.”

Last season, Ryan served as the defensive coordinator for the Knights. In prior seasons, he coached the offensive

line and linebackers.

During the time that he served as an assistant coach at Kaneland, the Knights compiled a 69-28 record.

“I’ve got a lot to live up to here,” Ryan said. “I Pat Ryan talked to [former coach] Joe Thorgesen over the weekend and when I first started here he was still on staff and Tom Fedderly was head coach and I learned a lot from Joe in the few years we spent together. When Tom resigned I had read that there had only been two coaches in 35 years, which is pretty amazing, so I’m honored to be a part of such a great program.”

Ryan previously had been an assistant coach at the now-defunct Driscoll, which won five consecutive state titles from 2003 to 2007 during his tenure at the Catholic school in Addison. Ryan played football at Driscoll before graduating and going on to play football at Carthage College.

“After 36 years in education, some of my best memories are standing on

ANTWERP - Diamond Buying Capitol Of The World

As the bleak, grey days of winter draw to a close, and bright pops of color begin to dot our landscapes, I find myself waiting (not so patiently) for the forsythia to bloom, their cheerful yellow blossoms trumpeting the return of spring. You’ve seen them – the bushes with the tall, slender, arcing branches covered in a profusion of flowers that bud and bloom while much of the garden is still just a trifle drab.

One way to counter the heat is the array of bottled beers offered, both domestic and Mexican.

BATAVIA – The fifth location for Salsa Verde, a family-owned Mexican restaurant group, recently opened on Route 31 in downtown Batavia.

The concept for the fast-casual eatery has proved hot, with its signature bar of garnishes and salsa options to enhance recipes that celebrate favorite dishes from the state of Jalisco in Mexico.

Jalisco lies on the Pacific West Coast, which means an emphasis on seafood and traditional dishes from the city of Guadalajara, said Carlos Arechiga of Wheaton, whose family moved from there to the U.S. in 2003, and opened its first restaurant in 2012 in Yorkville.

“Everyone in our family [already had] been involved in the industry for many years,” he said. “At some point, we decided to come together to do what we like doing, which is cooking. We bring in different backgrounds – my brother [Oswaldo is] in culinary arts.

I come more from a marketing and public relations standpoint. My mother and father have been very involved in the recipe part of it.”

His parents opened the first Salsa Verde in Yorkville where they live, and Arechiga said he focused on creating a logo and a restaurant identity a little different from everyone else. The family brand they forged now also extends to locations in St. Charles, Oswego and one operated by a brother in Indianapolis.

“Everyone brings in something to add to Salsa Verde,” Arechiga said of his family.

He said his brother, Oswaldo of Aurora, and a cousin, Audel Arechiga of St. Charles, are in charge of developing recipes, creating seasonal items and maintaining consistency between the five locations.

The idea of the salsa bar was inspired by the family’s own habit of placing a variety of fresh sauces and garnishes in the center of their dining table at mealtime.

“It’s been such a distinctive aspect of Salsa Verde – the different [vegetable] garnish-

slathering of red sauce for the sandwich that arrives on the side.

“It’s a little bit of a messy dish,” he said. “You need to handle it with two hands.

There’s no easy way to eat this. It’s very flavorful for those who like spicy sauce.”

He said the restaurant’s tacos are a standout, and extend beyond traditional steak and chicken to such classics as chipotle fish tacos.

“It’s basically grilled fish that we top off with red cabbage and a little bit of chipotle sauce on top [with] a little heat to it,” he said.

Another featured taco is the cochinita pibil, slow-roasted pork served with red onions and a bit of cilantro.

“All you need is a squeeze of lime – that would be the perfect touch to it,’ Arechiga said.

The restaurant group also offers catering and regularly provides meals at regional businesses on a large scale, generally serving 100 to 200, although they top 400 a few times a year.

“We’re happy to bring in food and expand our range to other towns besides where our stores are located,” he said.

After taking over the building last summer, Salsa Verde created a sleekly modern dining space with pendant incandescent bulbs, natural wood-slab style tables and accents of bright lime in keeping with the word green – verde – in the name.

“We’re really excited as a family and company with the response at our Batavia location,” Arechiga said. “I think we’re at a point where people know what Salsa Verde is.

From the moment we applied for a permit for remodeling [the former Burger King], the word started buzzing around town. It feels good that people [here] support family-owned restaurants.”

Complete with drive-thru, Salsa Verde at 107 N. Batavia Ave. in Batavia opens at 10:30 a.m. every day, and closes at 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and at 9:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. To learn more, visit salsaverderestaurant. com or call 630-425-3521.

‘Meatloaf’ pushes the boundaries “A Meatloaf in Every Oven” (Grand TOM’S COOKBOOK Central Publishing), a new book co-auLIBRARY thored by two veteran journalists – Frank Tom Bruni and Jennifer Steinhauer – sheds light on this classic American dish.

Witom Bruni’s curriculum vitae includes five and one-half years as chief restaurant critic for The New York Times.

Steinhauer, a correspondent for the same newspaper, is a passionate home chef and author of the favorably reviewed “Treat Yourself.”

In a chatty introduction to their new cookbook, the co-authors observe how there are countless ways to prepare meatloaf, an embarrassment of options: “You need only flex your imagination.”

Readers will find 50 recipes from classic takes to riffs by distinguished chefs like Bobby Flay and Mario Bitali. Included is Pork and Beef Polpettone (Italian for “large meatball”) with Pancetta (recipe below). Other recipes one will encounter include Cheesy Chorizo Loaf, Japanese Loaf Photo provided with Miso and Mirin, Michael White’s Chicken-Eggplant Loaf and Greek Loaf “A Meatloaf in Every Oven” includes 50 recipes. with Lamb and Feta, among others.

• FORSYTHIA

Continued from page 28 which can grow 8 to 10 feet tall and wide, or Forsythia Meadowlark, a fast-growing, rounded shrub reaching 8 to 10 feet in height and width.

Shrubs are deer resistant, and perform well in hedges and borders, or as specimen plantings. Plant in full sun and well-drained soil, and make sure to provide plenty of water throughout the growing season.

Come autumn, leaves of many varieties will deepen to shades of purple before they finally drop in late October or early November.

Since forsythia sets its buds during the summer for next year’s blooms, prune immediately after flowering to avoid losing any future blossoms. Older branches can be removed to allow light and air to reach the center of the shrub, and care can

be taken to maintain their loosely rounded vase shape, which will maximize flower production.

What about the unsightly, overgrown forsythia you’ve been neglecting that just won’t bloom anymore?

(No judgment here, I can neglect with the best of them.) You may want to give it a renewal pruning. To do this, cut all branches 3 to 4 inches from the ground (gasp!), and just wait for the new shoots to come up. By next year, you should be rewarded with a healthy flowering shrub again.

KANE WEEKEND | FAR LEFT: Ashtyn Ruh, 6, of Elburn has her caricature drawn by artist Michael Shiroda during the festival.

‘Art is like energy’

Kaneland Community Fine Arts fest celebrates music and more

By STEFANIE FRAZIER editorial@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK – The arts came alive during the Kaneland Arts Initiative’s 18th annual Kaneland Community Fine Arts Festival on April 9 at Kaneland High School in Maple Park.

Art could be seen and heard via students and professionals.

The cafeteria – or the “art pavilion” – had artists creating work on the spot.

Ken Reif, an oil painter, painted his black canvas to do what he calls “contemporary impressionism.”

His work showed a half piece of sun with a horizontal horizon of electric blue, smoky gray, yellows and oranges.

Reif provided artistic feedback to a little one.

“Art is like energy,” Reif said. “It should make you feel good.”

Michael Shiroda, a caricature artist, pensively looked from sitting models to white paper as he created exaggerated caricatures with features such as huge eyelashes or smiles.

Elburn resident Geoff Falk recalled a caricature when his son Benjamin, 9, was age 4.

“He was none too happy to be sitting for this long,” Falk said. “He’s screaming and crying. So, to capture that emotion, Michael drew him with smoke coming out of his ears, swirling up over his head

Ansley Ruh, 8, a Blackberry Creek Elementary School student, sat perfectly still for a caricature with a bright smile.

She called it “exciting” to see how the caricature looked like her.

Meanwhile, the Misty River Music Makers group, dressed in black tops and gold sparkles, harmonized. One dreamy-sounding song was “Over the Rainbow.”

Art in the hallway included some orange and black butterflies dangling from the ceiling.

The Kaneland High School Art Club painted art on youths’ faces.

Ryan Proctor, 5, a Blackberry Creek Elementary student, requested a web on the side of his face.

Quilter Emily Parson sat behind a sewing machine, and Emily Weil weaved square and diagonal patterns

to make a sturdy seat.

Ranjan Roy designed brown henna tattoos on people’s hands.

“It just kind of reminds me of a fancier kind of design,” said Adrianna Wells, a fourth-grader at McDole Elementary School.

Hironobu Nishitateno formed tiny, chocolate-colored vases with his hands on an electric blue spinning wheel.

Brian Zapien, a pencil artist, turned a Wrigley Field photo into a pencil drawing that looked classic and 3-D. “I want people to put their nose right up to the glass,” Zapien said.

On stage, the Northern Illinois University School of Theatre and Dance provided acting and dancing entertainment.

Ann Stewart and the Banjo Buddies Dixieland Trio filled the pavilion with happy tunes – Stewart sang and strummed the banjo, while two others played a trombone and guitar. An upbeat tune included “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.” Meanwhile, Sabrina Massa, a senior at Kaneland High School, received a scholarship from the KAI. She expressed appreciation for art.

“We do the singing and the theater and the arts because we just enjoy it,” Massa said. “And then when you are continuing it as a career and you see people supporting you continuing it as a career, it just warms my heart.”

FOOD

Only 1 more bottle of beer on the wall?

BUTTERMILK-BEER MUFFINS

By LINDA BASSETT • More Content Now Beer is something that shows up in my house in the spring and summer. It seems to go with hot weather and cooking over fire. Whether painting the front stairs or cooking on the grill, at the end of the day I will find one straggler, that last beer, left unopened under the melting ice. I tuck it onto the bottom shelf in my refrigerator. (Everyone knows that you can’t store chilled beers in a warm place for later.)

Needless to say, weeks later, I find a collection of orphan beers in my fridge. I can save them up until I have enough to serve up a “mixed grill” of beers in a bucket of ice at the next cookout.

Fun, but they do take up a lot of space in the “high-rent” district of the fridge. (This happens in reverse in winter, when I often buy a six-pack for the one bottle to make Welsh Rarebit and end up with five extra beers.)

I’m using up the abandoned bottles and cans left behind in recipes. Braising sausages with beer in a slow cooker. Spicing up bottled or homemade barbecue sauce for barbecued flank steak or brisket.

Flavoring a stockpot full of short ribs in a leftover stout.

I will try light or dark beer in bread and muffin recipes and use it to lighten a batter for fried shrimp. It will take a little thought to match the beer to the recipe. A baked bean recipe will benefit from dark beer or stout.

Fried onion rings will need a light golden beer or pale ale.

In any case, I will have more space to store that St. Louis rack of ribs until I heat up the grill.

Makes a dozen muffins.

The beer here lightens the batter, making a lighter muffin. These are great for a late-morning brunch, spread with a ginger-flavored cream cheese that you whisk together yourself from whipped cream cheese and ground ginger. ½ cup rye flour ½ cup whole what flour ½ cup cornmeal 1-½ teaspoons baking soda ¾ teaspoon salt 1 cup buttermilk 1⁄3 cup dark brown sugar 1⁄3 cup molasses 1⁄3 cup stout 1 egg 1 cup dark or golden raisins

1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Grease 12 muffin cups.

2. Whisk together the flours, cornmeal, baking soda and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl whisk together buttermilk, brown sugar, molasses, beer and egg. Pour the wet mixture into the dry (flour) mixture. Add raisins and stir until just combined. Do not overmix or the muffins will be tough.

3. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the centers: when done, it will come out dry.

BEER BATTERED ONION RINGS

Makes 6 servings Any type of light or golden-colored beer works in this recipe. I like to bring these to the table in a basket lined with paper towels to catch any excess oil.

3 large onions, peeled and trimmed 1 cup all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper 1 cup beer Vegetable or canola oil for frying

1. Preheat oven to 425F. 2. Slice the onions crosswise into ½-inch thick slices. Pull the slices apart into rings, reserving any broken pieces for later use.

3. In a large bowl whisk together flour, salt and pepper. Stir in the beer, beating until no longer foamy.

4. Toss the onion rings in the batter. Immediately transfer them to a plate, shaking lightly so that any excess batter drips off.

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large stick-free skillet on medium-high heat. Transfer the onion rings into the skillet in a single layer, cooking in batches until lightly golden, about 1-½ minutes per side. Transfer the onion rings to baking sheets, in a single layer. Set in heated oven for about 5 minutes, until crisp. Drain on paper towels.

Serve hot.

Culture camp

Summer’s a great time for kids to dive into a foreign language

Thursday, April 13, 2017 • KCChronicle.com / The Herald

The WASHINGTON POST For a lot of kids, summer is a time to travel intellectually as well as literally, to dive headlong into new languages and cultures in a way that classroom learning alone doesn’t allow.

For instance, every summer around 4,500 kids between the ages of 7 and 18 travel to one of dozens of “language villages” nestled in the north woods of Minnesota and run

by Concordia College. The camps, which also include typical summer-camp activities like swimming and crafts, offer serious cultural and linguistic immersion in 16 different languages.

There is belly dancing and Middle Eastern food at Arabic language camp, for example, or traditional calligraphy, taiko drumming, karate and Japanese meals in Japanese camp.

“Having a foreign language and cultural skills in your background is vitally important. Sometimes it’s a matter of heritage or ethnic background, or sometimes it’s about community demographic. Or it’s just what a child seems to be passionate about,” says Christine Schulze, executive director of the program, based in Moorhead, Minnesota. “Korean pop culture, for example, seems to be a big driver of interest in Korean language and cultural studies.”

For younger kids, the camps run one or two weeks, while those for high schoolers are four weeks.

The longer high-school-level camps are designed (and accredited) to cover an entire year of high school language learning, Schulze says, and unlike a summer overseas, the camps offer the security and ease of remaining in the United States.

Kids also can try out several of the “country” villages to find the best fit.

“Children come in with the full range of language abilities, with some starting at the very beginning and others quite advanced and ready push their skills even further,” she says. “Sometimes children do a summer at a village as preparation for a program abroad the following year.”

The programs cost roughly $1000

Participants are “living the language” at the Chinese Language Village by learning a traditional fan dance in Callaway, Minn. per week, with about 20 percent of the children receiving some level of financial assistance.

Middlebury College, in Vermont, also offers summer language programs for eighth to 12th graders, as do some other colleges and universities.

For older kids, the Washington, D.C.-based Youth for Understanding offers high school study-abroad summer programs in dozens of countries. They include group travel for language teachers and their classes, and more traditional, individual home-stay programs, says Heather Deno, sales director for the organization.

Youth for Understanding was started after World War II to foster peace, and is also known for high school programs lasting a semester to a year, and gap-year programs

between high school and college.

In its summer programs in India, Ecuador, Paraguay, South Africa and Thailand, kids stay with a host family and do community-oriented volunteer work.

“Our organization started in the 1950s with the idea that it’s hard to hate or generalize about a culture once you know people personally,” says Deno.

The summer programs run four to eight weeks and cost between $5,500 and $9,000 depending on airfare; many students receive financial aid. “We give out $2 million a year in scholarships. Many Japanese companies, in particular, offer full or partial scholarships to Japan,” she said.

Of course, you don’t have to leave home to get summer language study.

Many bilingual and language schools

across the U.S. offer their own immersive day camps.

The French American School of New York, in Larchmont, offers summer camps for kids, as does the German International School in Portland, Oregon, among many others. Prices vary widely depending on the school and region.

To find such a program, begin with a quick online search of local bilingual, dual immersion or international schools.

For sleepaway camps, Schulze recommends checking that the program is affiliated with the American Camp Association, which sets general and safety guidelines.

And for overseas programs, Deno, at Youth For Understanding, says programs should be certified by CIEST (the Council on Standards for International Education Travel).

Dear Abby:

Move on in Pennsylvania Dear TTMO: I’m glad you asked. Although the

sentiment behind those flowers is beautiful, I do not think it would be appropriate for you to bring flowers for your late wife into the home you will share with your next one. If you feel the need to honor your first wife, place flowers on her grave on her birthday.

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

Dr. Wallace: I am a 19-yearold guy who purchased my first automobile.

I had been driving my mother’s car. Since I have employment I have to pay for my own car insurance.

When I got my policy, I was shocked at the cost. I’m too young to drink and I don’t do drugs.

I’m also a very careful driver who has never been in an accident or even had a traffic ticket.

I don’t wear glasses and I’m a former high school athlete and have excellent reflexes.

I feel ripped off. I feel cheated. I feel I’ve been conned! – Ken, Moline, Ill. Ken: I receive many letters

from teen car owners complaining that they must pay higher insurance rates.

The concerns are that teen drivers have a poor safety record, thanks to inexperience and the “youthful exuberance” of some.

For instance, according to information released from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 78 percent of fatal accidents involving teen drivers were due to driver error, compared to 63 percent among drivers age 20 through 49. And 31 percent of deaths when a teen was driving were caused by speeding, compared to 21 percent for older drivers.

These statistics show why insurance companies ask for an additional premium to insure younger drivers.

The statistics are also the reason why parents get worried when their children ride with a teen driver.

Of course there are many, many safe, courteous teen drivers like you on the road. Only a relatively few are idiots behind

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace the wheel, but they give all teens a bad reputation.

A decade or two ago, it was only the guys who drove recklessly, but lately, I’m afraid, some of the girls have caught up with them!

Dr. Wallace: My son is intelligent. He should have A’s and B’s on his report card. Instead he’s bringing home a few B’s and mostly C’s. He rarely does any homework. When I ask him about this, he tells me he does his homework at school or that his teachers don’t require homework.

I’m a single mother and can’t take off from work to talk to his teachers.

What can I do to get him to reach his educational potential?

He keeps telling me he wants to become an attorney, but with the grades he’s getting, he will never be an attorney. In fact, he might not even have good enough grades to attend college. Please give me your recommendations.

He should be an Honor student! –

Mom, Detroit, Mich.

Mom: Even though you are a

single mother and working fulltime, you can’t afford not to find time to visit your son’s school.

He’s clearly doing no more than just getting by; it hasn’t dawned on him that there’s a connection between what he does now and whether he ever realizes his dream of becoming an attorney.

I applaud you for being concerned about your son’s performance rather than just shrugging it off and calling it “good enough.” It’s time you

make an appointment with your son’s counselor to discuss what might be keeping him from making better grades. Almost all employers will give parents time to visit their children’s school during work hours on occasion.

If this is not possible, see if the counselor will meet with you before or after your work hours.

School personnel will usually go out of their way to help a student and confer with a parent.

Dr. Wallace: My dad promised me that he would give me $20 for every A I got on my midterm report card. I received three A’s and three B’s yesterday when I opened my report that was mailed home. These are the best grades I have ever received.

When I asked my dad for the $60, he said he was only kidding about paying me to get good grades and that if he did pay me it would be a bribe and he doesn’t like bribery.

When I told him that he had made a promise, he got defensive and said that parents have the right to break a promise to their children.

I thought when someone made a promise it meant that the person would keep that promise. Please reply to my letter because I know you will say that my dad did me wrong. –

Amy, Columbus, Ohio Amy: Your dad did you wrong!

A promise is not to be broken even when made by a parent unless it was impossible for the promise to be honored. Then an honest explanation should be made.

But all is not lost. Three A’s and a B are wonderful grades and, in this case, you are the winner!

DEAR ABBY Could you explain to me why, Jeanne as a species, men Phillips are so blind and stupid? There are millions of smart, funny, sweet, attractive – even sexy – eligible women to whom men do not give a second glance, or even acknowledge that these wonderful women exist. Then, these clueless guys moan about how they can’t find a good woman, can’t find love, have a hard time getting sex, etc., when there are scores of potentially awesome partners right under their noses! Why don’t men ever grow up? Even men in their 40s, 50s and 60s suffer from the same stupidity about the dating scene as teenage boys. I repeat: WHY?! – Eligible Lady in Alabama Dear Eligible: Coupling up can be complicated these days, because many variables can come into play. Individuals of both sexes can be addicted to a “type” they fantasize about, chase the illusion of eternal youth by pursuing unsuitable partners and/or be commitment-phobic. That said, you might have better luck with men if you didn’t stereotype them, because some of them are encountering the same problems you are.

And believe me, they are mystified, too.

Dear Abby: I am a 12-year-old girl who has a lot of friends at school, but lately there has been some tension coming from one of them. “Belle” missed an event that was very important to her. She’s usually easygoing, but since then she hasn’t been herself, and it’s starting to worry some of us. We have tried everything from talking about her favorite topic to trying to write a song for her. Sometimes she acts like herself, but other times she gives me and another friend the silent treatment and the cold shoulder. Is she a friend worth keeping? – Concerned Friend in Alabama Dear Concerned: You won’t know what’s causing Belle to act the way she is unless you ask her directly. There may be more going on in her life than you are aware of that has nothing to do with you. If she’s doing it because she’s hurt and you weren’t at fault, clear the air so she knows it. But understand that the time to be a friend is when somebody needs one.

Dear Abby: Three years ago, I lost my wife of 32 years. Every month, on the anniversary of her death, I buy flowers for my house to honor her. I am now engaged to a wonderful woman.

She understands that I will always grieve for the wife I lost, and she has always shown respect for the way I show my grief. My question is, should I stop buying flowers to honor my first wife once my fiancee and I get married and move into a house of our own? I want her to know that she holds the No. 1 place in my heart. – Time to

ASK THE DOCTORS / ELIZABETH KO AND EVE GLAZIER

CROSSWORD PUZZLE ANSWERS

Reduce risk of vascular dementia Dear Doctor: My dad has just been diagnosed with vascular dementia. What is it?

Can it be prevented?

Dear Reader: Dementia is a general term used to categorize symptoms that relate to the decline or loss of cognitive function.

These include confusion, memory loss, impaired language skills, changes in personality or behavior, and the inability to think clearly or perform everyday tasks. The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease, which accounts for between 60 and 80 percent of all dementia cases. The mental impairment of Alzheimer’s disease results from a series of complex changes that take place within the structure of the brain itself.

Vascular dementia, which is also called vascular cognitive impairment, causes the majority of non-Alzheimer’s cases of dementia. It occurs when the blood vessels in the body, known as the vascular system, become blocked, diseased or damaged and are unable to provide the brain with normal blood flow. This deprives the brain of adequate oxygen and nutrition, which causes brain cells to die. The resulting injury, which prevents different parts of the brain from communicating with one another, causes symptoms of dementia.

Hardening and narrowing of the arteries, a major stroke or a series of small strokes can cause vascular dementia. In the case of major stroke, symptoms of vascular dementia can appear suddenly. But quite often, the disease builds slowly. As blood flow to the brain decreases, mental impairment gradually becomes more pronounced.

At this time, vascular dementia cannot be reversed, but there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of developing it.

Although the disease is rare before age 65,

the cardiovascular problems that lead to it can begin to develop well before then.

One of the major risk factors for vascular dementia is high blood pressure, which also plays a role in heart attack and stroke.

That’s why it’s important to know your numbers, and to monitor blood pressure on a regular basis.

To reduce blood pressure, maintain a healthy weight. It’s wise to also keep track of your waistline measurements. Men who measure more than 40 inches at the waist and women whose waistlines measure more than 35 inches are at increased risk of developing high blood pressure.

Get moving. Regular exercise has been shown to reduce the risk of vascular dementia by 40 percent. Just 30 minutes of exercise at moderate intensity -- you’ll be able to speak but not sing -- three times per week helps protect both your heart and your brain.

If you’ve been following this column for even a few weeks you know what’s coming next -- don’t smoke. If you do smoke, please stop. Yes, we know that’s hard. We also know that your family doctor would love to help you.

Eat a healthy diet: lean meats, fresh fish, legumes, whole grains, seeds, nuts, and plenty of fruits and vegetables. Skip the sugar if you can. Limit simple carbs like pasta, rice, bread and processed cereals.

Limit how much alcohol you drink.

Even in moderation, alcohol has been linked to dementia risk, particularly as we get older.

Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health. Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and primary care physician at UCLA Health.

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.

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

what easily could be an intimate house museum: elaborately carved antique French china cabinets and sideboards, and charming primitive folk pieces, modernist leather furniture and carefully chosen pieces of Judaica, baseball and political memorabilia.

For those who dwell at the beigeand-pastel end of the spectrum, and for minimalists who believe less is more, Casa Aviva can be overwhelming. But the blunt-spoken chatelaine has always lived out loud, and the house reflects its owner’s many passions.

Katja Tenenbaum, a friend from Rome, was struck by Kempner’s style, which reminded her of the way artworks and artifacts are grouped at Philadelphia’s Barnes Foundation.

“When you fix your attention here, you realize how things are arranged, and you are surprised by the unity of the personality and spirit of Aviva and her collections. You have to concentrate, and you need more than one visit.”

Candidate Raskin called the house “completely enchanting. It was like the first time I saw Mardi Gras, full of color and pizazz and exuberance.”

In her tony neighborhood, where a 1994 mansion near Kempner’s home carries a $22 million price tag, not everyone delights in the transformation of her grassy front lawn into a Gaudí-esque sculpture garden complete with a 5-foot painted hand meant to promote D.C. voting rights.

“It’s very different than the neighborhood,” comes the occasional murmuring. “It stands out. It’s not subtle.”

“If anyone is unhappy, they’ve never told me,” Kempner said.

The daughter of a Polish mother who passed as a Catholic in a German work camp, and a Lithuanian-immigrant father who served in the U.S. Army in postwar Germany, the Berlin-born Kempner arrived in Detroit at age 3. By 1973, she’d moved here to attend the Antioch School of Law (now part of the University of the District of Columbia) but switched to film after failing the bar exam.

Along the way, the vocal social justice activist worked hard to bring major league baseball back to Washington and continues the uphill battle for D.C. statehood.

To help execute her singular vision of home, she gave much-appreciated creative license to three artisans who have worked for her over the years, including Axel Vasquez, 25, and his brother Byron Vasquez, 31. After Kempner showed them books of Gaudí’s work, especially Barcelona’s Park Guell, Axel, a self-taught mosaic master, tiled parts of the walkways, stairs and retaining walls built by Byron. Meanwhile, her longtime landscaper, Donald Redditt of

Continued from page 47 Accokeek, Md., came alive when Kempner asked him to paint her kitchen cabinets the same steely, tealy sage of a primitive Amish cupboard. Instead, he faux-finished them in what seems like 50 shades of blue.

“Clearly he had other ideas, and I loved it,” Kempner said.

The trio’s handiwork starts at the curb, where Axel’s mosaics are sunk into Byron’s brick and concrete pathways, which then wind past Redditt’s flowering shrubs, trees and potted plants, to continue around the house to the back. There, more mosaics brighten walkways, walls, tables and birdbaths.

Enter the bright-blue front door and the first thing one sees is a curved staircase that spirals up two levels.

On the ascending wall are three of pro baseball’s most famous Jewish players – catcher and coach Moe Berg, southpaw pitcher Sandy Koufax and, of course, super slugger Greenberg – rendered in wool by fiber artist Leslie Kuter, who lived in Washington from the 1970s to the ’90s.

To the right of the stairs, a pair of intricate wrought-iron gates from Kempner’s childhood home opens to the living room. Cream walls are trimmed in red, the better to show off a fireplace framed in contemporary American tiles made to look as if they’d been rescued from some grand art nouveau mansion.

The Gaudí homage is repeated at the rear of the living room: swirling ironwork visible through windows and custom wooden doors that create a visual link to the patio. To the left is the dining room, its walls and ceiling paint-

Antiques and art decorate the master bedroom of Aviva Kempner’s house. ed a muted blue. The table can seat 14 in a pinch but is more often laden with food brought by friends content to eat potluck fare while ogling the interiors.

The adjoining kitchen, with its cream walls, boasts a navy sink and lighter blue tiles trimmed in florals and geometrics on the counters and floor. One set of ceiling-hung blue-hued cabinets has glass doors on both sides, through which hand-glazed Armenian dishes, most in patterns of azure, are visible. Outside the kitchen is a Big Green Egg cooker, set into a tiled framework that draws heavily on folk motifs from the Vasquez

brothers’ native Guatemala.

Kempner spends much of her time in a cozy green study to the left of the entrance. But the second floor is her refuge, with the master bedroom painted a deep rose and cream, and filled with Victorian, art nouveau and art deco furnishings and lighting. A door at the far end of the room opens to reveal another salute to Gaudí, a wrought-iron Juliet balcony overlooking the back yard.

Here, “I lie in bed and feel like I’m in a treehouse,” she said.

The adjoining master bathroom, which features large Armenian tiles

depicting nature motifs on the floor and walls, offers passage to yet another bedroom that she converted into her dressing space. A guest room and a study complete this level.

One flight up is a finished attic that could become a sitting or sleeping area, were it not crammed with unpacked boxes. The elevator, too, is filled with papers “and will probably stay that way until I can no longer walk and actually need to use it.”

And she intends to use it. “This is the house I always wanted,” Kempner said.

“And this is the last place I plan to live.”

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

A-1 AUTO Beauty Salon Items

After having three consecutive sixheart contracts while playing with my wife online at bridgebase.com last month, the next evening, the robots (computer-controlled opponents) got some revenge in this deal.

Note North’s correct two-diamond response. With game-going values, bid your longest suit first. Since the robots use two-over-one game-forcing, I would have been inclined to rebid two hearts with that South hand, but the robots were playing that three clubs promised extra strength.

The next two calls were natural, then four no-trump was Roman Key Card Blackwood. South’s six-heart reply showed an odd number of key cards (here, two aces and the heart king) and a spade void. Scientific bidders, those robots!

I led my singleton diamond.

Declarer rose with dummy’s ace and, presumably in the dummy for the last time, cashed all four spade winners, discarding three clubs and a diamond from hand. Then South drew trumps and conceded one diamond trick.

(Yes, the fourth spade was unnecessarily dangerous.)

There were four tables in six notrump, which had 12 top tricks. Two pairs of robots tried six diamonds after the sequence one heart - two diamonds - three clubs - three no-trump - six diamonds. One was favored by the heart-jack start, but the other faced the club-jack lead, after which the contract was unmakable without the aid of X-ray vision.

The other 11 tables were in six hearts. One robot even made an overtrick when West led a low club, and declarer guessed to put up dummy’s queen.

Shampoo Bowl - Cast Iron With Faucet and Hose, $100 Reclining Shampoo Chair, $50 Hydraulic Styling Chair, $150 (3) Hooded Dryers on Upholstered Chairs, $75/ea (2) Large Mirrors, $20/ea (1) Medium Mirror $10 (1) Wooden Movable Styling Station on Wheels with Electric Outlet, Drawer and Cabinet, $75 Laundry / Utility Single Compartment Sink with Kohler Faucet, $30
