“I hope that they are open to trying new genres of books that they haven’t already read.”

By STEFANIE FRAZIER editorial@kcchronicle.com

Alison Schwarz Sugar Grove Public Library youth services associate

Julie Walker - For Shaw Media

Ana Rabiola, 10, and her brother, Gianni Rabiola, 9, of Montgomery participate in the Face Off: Diary of a Wimpy Kid vs. Dork Diaries event April 13 at the Sugar Grove Public Library.

Schwarz questioned students on the book basics.

She filled out a hanging graphic organizer that focused the students’ attention on the similarities and differences between the two books. Students answered the questions, which had to do with names of best friends, enemies, audience and crushes.

The books are designed like diaries, with writings and drawings throughout the

pages.

Jack Dodge, 11, a Sugar Grover resident, called the artwork for “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” simple.

Dodge compared that art to “Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not So Fabulous Life.”

“They’re actually really good,” Dodge said.

Students paged through and examined Kinney’s and Russell’s books.

They pondered who the

targeted audiences would be.

Montgomery resident Gianni Rabiola, 9, pointed out “everyone” for Wimpy Kid, while Sugar Grove resident Sage Spayer, 10, noted “girls” for Dork Diaries.

Schwarz passed out cookies, which have a featured role in the club. Just like the session had a name, so did the cookies: Chocolate Face Off. One side was chocolate chip, while the other half

sported double chocolate with thick white chocolate chips.

It was determined that the majority liked Wimpy Kid the best, with Schwarz as the lone one preferring Dork Diaries.

“You guys win!” Schwarz said.

Later the club related personally to the books and provided more input, did some “cheese” throwing and made their own mixed-up comic drawings.

Spayer explained the idea of the “Cheese Touch” game in which club members threw bean bag squares through a character image from Wimpy Kid. “There is a piece of old, molded, disgusting cheese on the blacktop [in the story],” Spayer said. “And nobody dares to touch it. Otherwise they have the ‘cheese touch.’”

Dodge figured out why the Wimpy Kid character Greg wrote in a diary.

“That way he won’t have to answer a bunch of questions when he’s famous,” Dodge said.

Waubonsee Community College hosts Poetry Out Loud event

By VIOLET MARQUARDT editorial@kcchronicle.com One of the largest literary celebrations in the world, National Poetry Month, takes place every April. In an effort to celebrate the art form, Waubonsee Community College has hosted a Poetry Out Loud event for more than half a decade in its Sugar Grove campus library. On April 13, the event took place once again.

“Once a year, we always hold this [event] during National Poetry Month,” librarian Kathleen Bartel said. “I’ve

been doing it here at the Sugar Grove campus for about five or six years.”

Poetry Out Loud is an open mic event at the library, where students, staff, faculty and community members can take to the microphone to recite poetry that they have written, or recite poetry from a famous poet.

“If they want to read poems they have written, that’s encouraged,” Bartel said. “If they want to read Shakespeare sonnets … that’s encouraged, too.”

About 25 participants gathered in the Todd Library on

the Sugar Grove campus April 13 to both read and hear works of poetry. Bartel even participated in the event, reading some works from Waubonsee instructor Billy Clem, who is a published poet. No one is required to submit what they are reading beforehand; they are welcome to bring whatever piece they choose.

“It is always a surprise [what people end up reading],” Bartel said of the event. “My fellow faculty member, Dan Portincaso, always ends the night reading something from a zombie poetry book, or a

book called ‘The Very Worst Poems Ever Written.’ It’s kind of as the night takes us, whoever is feeling brave and wants to read. We generally don’t have any problems filling the entire hour and a half.’”

According to Bartel, the event always ends up having positive feedback, and this year was no exception.

“It is always a fun evening,” Bartel said.

In addition to the Poetry Out Loud event, there was an art exhibition at the library, featuring artwork from Waubonsee students. Guests were

invited to browse the artwork, listen to some poetry and enjoy a cup of coffee and a cookie.

“I think it is important for the library to host these kinds of events because we are a community college, and we like to invite the community to be a part of what we are showcasing here,” Bartel said. “And I think poetry is something a lot of people don’t realize is a part of their everyday lives. When they listen to music, they’re listening to poetry. And, of course, it is an effort to showcase our students and staff.”

SUGAR GROVE – Students came together for a discussion of two books during a Books and Cookies Club meeting at the Sugar Grove Public Library.

The club is for third- to fifth-graders.

They met for a session called Face Off: “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” by Jeff Kinney vs. “Dork Diaries” by Rachel Renee Russell on April 13.

The club meets monthly to discuss featured books, eat cookies and do activities related to the books.

Alison Schwarz, youth services associate, leads the club.

“I hope that they are open to trying new genres of books that they haven’t already read,” Schwarz said.

She added that she usually picks books that are the first from a series.

“Once the students read those books, they then want to know what happens next,” Schwarz said. “So then it just continues to build a love of reading in them and just trying new things. Because sometimes kids can get so caught – and even us as adults can get so caught up in – or stuck in a rut of reading the same genre. But then, if you try new things, you can be hooked for life then on a different genre that you never thought you would even enjoy.”

For new college grads, internships greatly improve odds of being hired

Across the country over the next month or so, the sounds of Elgar’s “Pomp and Circumstance Marches” will be followed by the cheers and throwing of caps as millions of new college graduates celebrate the achievement of a higher education degree. And while obtaining a degree has its many challenges, the new graduate now faces an even bigger hurdle: competing for jobs in what remains a tight job market.

But a prepared few will have a leg up on their peers. Those who have completed internships are more likely to get hired.

Today’s employers expect new hires to possess soft skills and to begin adding value to the company from Day 1. For new graduates, the best preparation for meeting this expectation is to have had one or more internships while in school.

Internships are experiential learning opportunities where students apply what they are learning in the classroom to real-world situations.

These experiences help round out a student’s learning by engaging them in real-time problem solving, presenting them with communication styles and methods, and improving their teamwork and leadership skills.

A recent study by the National As-

WAUBONSEE VOICES Julie Bechtold sociation of Colleges and Employers stated, nearly 73 percent of students who completed an internship received a job offer. In a competitive job market, having at least one internship on a résumé greatly improves a student’s odds of being employed within six months of graduation. No longer are internships an expectation only for those majoring in the hard sciences or finance and accounting.

Experiential learning opportunities are ideal for students of all majors who can demonstrate to employers “real skills” acquired through internships.

Traditionally, internships were often left to the last semester of senior year. Not anymore. Today, professionals working in career services on college campuses tout the importance of obtaining an internship as soon as one’s sophomore or junior year.

Aside from the necessary experience and skill development, internships prove invaluable to a student’s career decision-making path. For many students, the experience of an internship

can be life-changing as they discover professional interests and avenues they never before considered. Employers also increasingly support this pathway as data shows cost savings over time when hired interns are easily converted into full-time employees.

At Waubonsee Community College, students are encouraged to explore internship opportunities early on. Through faculty connections, the online job board resource, Waubonsee Career Network, and career fairs, students are exposed to a variety of for-credit internships throughout the community.

Having at least one internship during an undergraduate experience can help give that momentous walk across the stage on graduation day an added bonus: Those graduates who’ve completed internships are likely collecting not just a diploma, but they just might have a job offer waiting in the wings.

SUGAR GROVE – Gordon College has announced the finalists of the fourth annual Social Venture Challenge, a venture pitch competition designed to inspire students to start something for good.

Richard Teunis of Sugar Grove is among the finalists. He is a member of The Gravity House, one of the four final teams selected.

The Gravity House works to promote a new party culture by hosting weekend entertainment without drugs and alcohol for college students in the region. They already have created three pop-up party venues, which have attracted more than 300 students from four or five schools on a given night.

Prizes will be awarded to the top three finalists in the Social Venture Challenge at the Final Showcase event on April 20. First-place team members will win $5,000 to help bring their idea from concept to reality. Second- and thirdplace teams will win $3,000 and $2,000, respectively. Winners also will be awarded in-kind services from professional sponsors that have offered to register the venture and provide bookkeeping services for a year.

Tractors and animals are what most people think about when they think about farms. That’s what I mostly saw when I photographed the recent TouchA-Tractor event hosted by the Kane County Farm Bureau.

Tractors, a calf and combines were all on display for kids and adults, who maybe aren’t around farms all that much.

But my interest was piqued when I saw a tire swing out of the corner of my eye. It was so great to see kids enjoy the sunshine and outdoors as they escaped for a small moment and swung on the tree.

Pictured: Johnny Ruzyc, 5, of Bartlett, rides a tire swing during the Kane County Farm Bureau’s 12th annual Touch-A-Tractor event in St. Charles.

a mother, were for the safety of her children and other’s children, as well as property values. A number of other residents echoed similar concerns and worries that the historic value and beauty of the former John Stewart home and campus would be compromised, and others wondered about the potential burden on the Elburn Police Department.

Tom Dean, chief operating officer of the Miami center and the petitioner for the special use in Elburn, addressed the questions from residents. He emphasized that the facility would be a private, for-profit operation, which gives him the ability to accept only people he believes are committed to recovery. He said the people who are accepted into the program – 45 days of residential treatment on-site – will not be using drugs or alcohol while they are there. There will be 24hour supervision, and the property will be a closed campus, which means that clients would not be out and about in the general population of the town.

Dean told the residents that the completion rate for his

ports the potential new use.

“There are lots of worse things that can come behind this,” he said. “I work with lots of people who have this problem.

Something like this needs to be in the community. From what I’ve seen so far, I think this will be a tremendous advantage.”

Former Village Board Trustee Craig Swan said he will soon celebrate 38 years of sobriety.

Swan said there are so many people dealing with the pain of addiction today. He asked the residents where they would send a loved one with that problem. “Once, somebody gave me a chance,” he said. “I’m for it [the treatment center]. Without a chance, there is no hope.”

Swan told Dean that he hopes he will be able to sell the people of Elburn on his proposal.

The board voted unanimously to send the special use request back to the Plan Commission for it to vote on each individual finding of fact, as well as to hold another public hearing. John Krukoff and Dave Gualdoni were absent from that meeting. “We must do this correctly,” Anderson said.

In addition, he said the police have had to be called only once in the two years the center has been in operation.

Ron Martin, administrative bishop of the Church of God Great Lakes Regional Office, current owner of the property, told residents at the Village Board meeting that his dream to create a retreat center on the property had been realized for some time. However, he said the millennial generation now prefers to stay at hotels for their religious retreats, and the limited recent use of the property led to the church’s decision to sell the property. Martin said he went to Florida to visit the Miami Beach center, and he came away feeling confident of the owners’ commitment and their financial ability to restore and maintain the integrity of the building, and to being good neighbors within the village.

Elburn Hill Church Pastor Gary Augustine, who lives on the property, said that it won’t stay the same, so the question is what kind of change will there be? He said he fully sup-

ELBURN – The Elburn Village Board on April 17 voted to send a special use request that would allow a former retreat center to house an addiction treatment center back to the Plan Commission for another vote and public hearing.

“From my seat, I don’t think this board has enough facts to make a decision,” Village President Dave Anderson said.

The Plan Commission on April 11 voted to recommend that the board approve a special use requested by Miami Beach Holistic Addiction Treatment Center LLC to open a similar treatment center in the historic home on the former Great Lakes Leadership Center campus at 526 N. Main St. Although the Plan Commission’s 5-0 vote was unanimous, three commissioners – Mary Gustafson, Randy Ream and Bob Houtz – voted no on the question as to whether the proposed use met all nine standards needed to obtain the special use permit. Commissioners Chris

Mulvihill and Chris Gould were absent from that meeting. “I don’t understand the Plan Commission’s vote,” said Village President-elect Jeff Walter.

A number of residents who live near the campus came to the Village Board meeting April 17 to express their concerns regarding the potential treatment center. Several who spoke, including Ken Gustafson and LeRoy Herra, said they were disappointed in what they perceived as not enough information and notice about the proposed facility provided to them and the rest of the town. Several people said that the first they heard about the potential treatment center was in an article in the Elburn Herald after the Plan Commission’s public hearing was over.

Gustafson, a former pharmacist in town, said he has seen first-hand the “scourge of addiction,” and what often begins as a prescribed medication to treat chronic pain following an accident of some sort, ends up with an individual who will do anything to obtain more of the drug.

Kim Anderson said that her concerns, as a homeowner and

Those tiny specks flying in V formation actually are a flock of sandhill cranes migrating.

This time of year, to find sandhill cranes, all you have to do is stop, look and listen.

Dr. Seuss, sandhill cranes and more Awhile back, someone showed me a Facebook quiz titled “Which Dr. Seuss Character Are You?” Maybe you’re familiar with these sorts of games – timewasters, really – that purport to tell you things like what breed of dog or cat you are, which “Friends” character is your soulmate, even major life decisions like career choice, what city you’re suited to and whether you should own a fish.

I’ll admit, I did get suckered into the “Friends” test (I’m a Joey), but the Dr. Seuss quiz I knew was completely unnecessary. Why? Because I already knew the answer.

I’m Horton, the elephant who hears a Who. And I’ll bet, if you’re into nature, you are, too. Which is not to say any of us is elephantine – although, personally, I’m way more pachyderm-like than, say, gazelle – but rather to say we hear things other people don’t. In the Seuss book, Horton is ridiculed for saying he hears the voices of Whos – tiny little people whose entire town of Whoville exists on a speck of dust.

In our work at the park district, I’ve been challenged to prove that bats and certain crickets, grasshoppers and katydids, actually make noise. They

hill cranes, and Valerie Blaine, nature programs manager at the Forest Preserve District of Kane County, had assembled a magnificent slideshow depicting sandhills foraging, sandhills nesting, sandhills raising young and sandhills migrating. The presentation also included a photo of a V-shaped flock of tiny specks in the sky, followed by a lovely shot of a clear blue sky. Yes, Valerie stated, even at 5,000 feet, the upper range of sandhill crane migration altitude, you can still hear the birds’ contact calls. Especially if you crane, har, your neck.

March and early April are prime times to spot the specks of migrating sandhills high in the sky. And even though you might not be able to see them very well you can, like Horton, hear them. Also like Horton, you’ll know What – even Who – it is.

Pam Otto is the manager of nature programs and interpretive services at the Hickory Knolls Discovery Center, a facility of the St. Charles Park District.

Victim sues man convicted of sexually abusing him

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com SUGAR GROVE – The victim of a Sugar Grove man convicted in March of sexually abusing him has filed a lawsuit seeking more than $50,000 in damages caused by the abuse.

Identified only as John Doe in court papers filed April 11, the complaint states he was an 11-year-old foster child under the care of Noel F. Buhay, 49, of Sugar Grove on Feb. 27, 2004, when Buhay abused him.

A jury found Buhay guilty March 17 of three counts of felony predatory criminal sexual assault of a child. Now age 23, the victim was identified as R.P. in court records.

Buhay is being held in the Kane County Jail, with sentencing scheduled for June 2.

While the then-minor Doe was in the care and custody of Buhay, Buhay had a reasonable Noel F. Buhay duty of care “to refrain from conduct which would reasonably … cause physical, emotional or psychological harm or injury,” the lawsuit stated.

Shortly after the boy’s placement with Buhay, he “commenced touching, fondling and initiating various forms of sexual contact … repeatedly and frequently” until Doe was removed from Buhay’s custody on June

4, 2004, the lawsuit stated.

As a result of Buhay’s actions toward Doe, he has “suffered severe personal, emotional, psychological and pecuniary injuries and damages,” the lawsuit stated.

These include “post-traumatic stress, shame, guilt, loss of self-esteem, impairment of personal relationships, confusion of sexual orientation, mistrust of intimacy and authority figures and humiliation,” the lawsuit stated.

Doe will continue to endure these issues and incur medical expenses while getting emotional, psychological, psychiatric and counseling services for the rest of his life, the lawsuit stated.

The lawsuit also seeks a jury trial.

The next court date for the Doe case is

June 27, records show.

In a companion filing, Doe’s attorney George Acosta is asking the court to allow his client to appear in court under a fictitious name.

Because the sexual misconduct caused severe emotional damage and Doe currently is under doctor’s care, releasing his name in the media would result in additional emotional trauma and damage, according to the filing.

Buhay faces another trial in the case of a second victim, now 17, identified in court papers as J.H. In that case, Buhay was charged with 39 counts of predatory criminal sexual abuse and one count each of aggravated criminal sexual abuse and indecent solicitation of a child, according to court records.

as playing music, because all rhythms come out of the body.”

Lorne Lampert, chief drumming officer for Mystic Drumz, called the upcoming workshop “all-ages fun.”

“We’re blending sounds [from] different parts of the world into a unique song … ,” Lampert said.

Attendees will be able to play at least one drum.

According to Lampert, the drums include West African djembes, Cuban bongos, American cowbells and triangles, and South American maracas and clave sticks.

Lampert said that Mystic Drumz takes an orchestral approach to the drum circle.

“We’ll start like an orchestra, and we’ll come in section by section,” Lampert said. “Another example is we’ll finish the song with [a] big drum roll … so, we’ll get the feeling of what

Archer anticipates incorporating a song with boom whackers, tambourines and bongos.

Interested participants need to register with their Sugar Grove library card and can do so at www.sugargrove. lib.il.usor by calling 630-466-4686.

Caregivers and siblings of participants are invited to observe the workshop.

“We are really excited to have music as part of one of the library programs,” said Alison Schwarz, library youth services associate. “Music should be a big part of everyone’s life. And it’s really cool that we’re able to offer a program like this, where the students are able to play instruments that they might not otherwise have access to and be instructed in how to play as part of a drumline.”

SUGAR GROVE – The sound of drums will come alive at the Sugar Grove Public Library, when Mystic Drumz will host a workshop that will include a drum circle for those in grades one through five from 11 a.m. to noon April 29.

The library is located at 125 S. Municipal Drive. The event will take place in Meeting Room C. Mystic Drumz, based in Toronto, has drum facilitators that travel throughout Canada, the United States and Mexico.

According to the Mystic Drumz website, part of its mission is to “reinvent music education and interactive entertainment.”

Mick Archer, “edu-tainer” for the Midwest for Mystic Drumz, will lead

the library’s drum circle.

Other hats Archer wears include being a columnist for Chicago Jazz Magazine and vocal and piano teacher at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago.

“The most important thing is for people to have fun, to just enjoy the event,” Archer said. “But the takeaway from it is a new appreciation of the patterns and numbers that exist in music.”

Archer said that when he teaches children he emphasizes that music is the best form of pattern recognition.

“There’s something going on,” Archer said. “It’s not just sound; it’s not noise. There’s a pattern. And to recognize these patterns and to respond to these patterns with your mind and with your body, it’s really fun and it integrates elements of dance, as well

You’re getting warmer, HOT, SCALDING! When on Easter morning all but the best-hidden Easter eggs are found, parents hint at the tough spots by giving hints of “hot” and “cold,” depending on where the hunter is headed.

“Scalding hot!” the adult yells when an unseen egg, colorful as a hippie’s tie-dyed T-shirt, nests behind a couch pillow mere inches from an outstretched hand.

The memory returned a few weeks ago when President Donald Trump signed an executive order, according to Time, that “curtails some of the most significant Obamaera regulations,” including efforts to reduce global warming.

Scientific evidence showing the earth growing warmer doesn’t faze this administration. The president

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

RIVER TOWN CHRONICLES Rick Holinger has tweeted global warming “was created by and for the Chinese,” implying it a hoax, despite an overwhelming majority of astrophysicists who demonstrate its man-made origins.

Incredibly, many Earthlings still deny our planet is slowly incinerating. Their recalcitrance reminds me of a story.

Before Geneva’s library referendum passed, a friend mentioned she voted “no” because growing up in Geneva, she loved the old building just the way it was. No amount of reasonable argument – that it was landlocked, had no

parking or drive-up drop-off box, its interior couldn’t accommodate the town’s current population, and its antiquated utilities and infrastructure were on life support – affected her decision. Her choice resided in emotions, not facts.

Yes, there will be an additional cost for a new library, but to save a building from ruin, and to save a planet from suffocating, the cost will be worth it.

Sure, we love our planet the way it was – and is; how tempting to bathe in the warm comfort of golden memories.

Meanwhile, the ice caps melt, extreme weather bakes and floods the globe, clean water evaporates, and countries – and counties – fight for arable land.

“It looks fine,” nonbelievers tell themselves. “I grew up

with it looking just like this.

If I don’t want it to change, it won’t.”

The new administration is trying to sell us a rosy outlook, even to the point of pushing coal again. However, The New Yorker unmasks the White House by asserting its executive order a “declaration of war on the basic knowledge of the harm that burning coal, and other fossil fuels, can do.

Indeed, it tells the government to ignore information.”

On March 16, about 100 people showed up outside 14th District Congressman Randy Hultgren’s office to protest the proposed stripping of funding from the Environmental Protection Agency. The Kane County Chronicle interviewed Jeanne Neltnor who said, “To destroy the EPA – it’s going

to destroy humankind.”

Many of us just celebrated Easter. To celebrate the wondrous resurrection, the miracle needed to be preceded with a stormy crucifixion.

Only after a Lenten season in which we recognize our flaws and work on becoming better, can transcendence occur.

Not until we accept the fact that we are killing the earth can we reverse our actions. As one scientist put it, the earth doesn’t care what we think, or what we believe.

Believe it.

It’s Transfer Day at Illinois State

OPINIONS |

BEFORE THE DIPLOMA Denise Cartina booths about paying for school, counseling services and housing information.

Filled with students and parents, everyone was scrambling around trying to visit each booth. Unaware of where I was going to live during the school year, my parents and I visited the housing booth to learn more about off-campus apartments.

Before leaving the Transfer Day program, we walked by booths from various real estate agents who were advertising off-campus student apartments. A girl from one of the booths jumped out in front of my mom and handed her a pamphlet about a real estate agent. That same girl even gave me a free T-shirt, which is a very comfy pajama top. To keep things short, I ended up getting an apartment that day from that same real estate agent.

I’ll be sharing the apartment with three other girls.

Luckily, I got to meet one of the girls the same day that I signed the lease.

I’m a bit terrified to start my new life away from Batavia, but I cannot wait for all the possibilities and new adventures that I’m going to have at Illinois State University. After a long day of walking around, I drove home that day with a new ISU shirt, a new home and an idea of the new life that I will soon have in just a few months.

I am officially a Redbird!

I’m not a Bulldog, nor a Chief, but a magnificent, mighty Redbird!

As I have mentioned in columns before, I am transferring this fall to Illinois State University.

Now, after years of waiting, I am officially part of the Redbird family. I even have my school ID card to prove it. I attended a Transfer Day program on the last day of March, and that is when things really started to sink in.

The day began at 8 in the morning. It started off with me checking in and picking up a folder stuffed with pamphlets and fliers about ISU. At 9 o’clock, I had a counseling appointment. My major is public relations, and PR is part of the school of communication.

At my counseling session, I sat down in a room with about 10 other students whose majors are in the school of communication.

During the session, I was put in a group with two other girls who also are PR majors. The two girls both live in towns close to ISU. From what the girls described to me, they live in what I consider to be very small “farm towns.” They were amazed to hear that my high school had more than 2,000 students, and that I didn’t recognize each person I passed at Waubonsee.

By the end of the counseling session, I signed up for classes for the fall semester.

Two of them are required communication classes; one of them is an introductory class to PR, and the other class is about interviewing.

I was told that two of my classes are going to be in large lecture halls, so I’m not too sure what to expect when it comes to the size of that room.

After the counseling session, I walked back to the enormous room where I checked in at the beginning of the day. The room was filled with informational

BIG NO-NO FOR KANELAND

Aly Jesionowski throws no-hitter for Knights

By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – With two outs in the bottom of the seventh, Kaneland starting pitcher Aly Jesionowski started to get butterflies.

An out away from her first seven-inning no-hitter, Jesionowski ended the game the same way she spent most of the day – getting a strikeout. She picked up her third strikeout of the inning and 14th of the game to close out a 3-0 victory against host Sycamore on April 13.

“Even warming up overhand, my arm felt 20 times better than any other game,” Jesionowski said. “It hit me [that I was pitching a no-hitter] around the sixth inning, I think. I went out there and thought, ‘Hang on, I don’t think anybody’s hit anything.’”

Jesionowski said she threw a five-inning no-hitter last year in a blowout win for the Knights during their trip to Myrtle Beach, S.C., joking that the April 13 performance was her first “real” no-hitter.

She had at least two strikeouts against Sycamore in every inning except the sixth, in which she didn’t have any strikeouts. She struck out the side in the fourth and seventh innings.

Sycamore threatened only once, when Jesionowski loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the third after three walks. However, she got out of the jam by striking out the next two batters.

“We have to win these kind of games, too, and to have that situation happen and to battle back through that, that’s going to pay dividends for us down the line,” Kaneland coach Mike Kuefler said.

The Knights, who improved to 8-4 overall and 3-0 in Northern Illinois Big 12 play, scored all three of their runs in the top of the sixth, following a string of closely missed opportunities for the Sycamore defense. After Jesionowski led off the inning with a single, Kaneland’s Maddy Wheatley laid down a bunt and Sycamore’s throw to first base was high, allowing Wheatley to reach safely.

After a sacrifice bunt by Natalie Kraemer and an infield single on a bunt by Kaitlyn Kurzrock loaded the bases, Kaneland’s Hailey Roach hit a comebacker that deflected off the glove of Sycamore pitcher Allyson Versluys,

Kaneland’s Aly Jesionowski delivers a pitch April 13 in a game against host Sycamore. Jesionowski threw a no-hitter with 14 strikeouts in Kaneland’s 3-0 win, and she notched two more wins as the Knights claimed the title at their own one-day tournament April 15. whose throw to home plate wasn’t in time as Jesionowski scored the first run of the game.

Kaneland’s Morgan Weber followed with a sacrifice fly to Sycamore left fielder Anna Criswell, whose throw home was slightly off line and couldn’t catch Wheatley. During the next at-bat, Kurzrock scored on a wild pitch to give Kaneland a 3-0 lead.

Jesionowski went 2 for 3 at the plate for the Knights and Roach was 2 for 3. Kaneland combined for eight hits, with Donatela Sommesi, Alexis Abruzzo, Hannah Theobald and Kurz-

rock all adding singles.

“We kind of blew our chance in the third when we had the bases loaded and couldn’t put the ball in play,” Sycamore coach Jill Carpenter said. “If you don’t, you’re making it easy for the other team and we’re really struggling with that. You really feel like you’re dodging bullets when the pitcher’s dominating you.”

The fifth inning proved to be the magic inning for the Knights at their own one-day varsity tournament April 15.

Kaneland scored six times in the

fifth inning against Batavia and four times in the fifth against Metea Valley for a pair of 10-1 wins. In the tourney championship game, Weber’s single in the fifth scored the decisive run in a 2-1 win against West Aurora.

Kaneland improved to 11-4 overall with the three wins.

Theobald hit a solo home run in the bottom of the fourth against West Aurora to make it a 1-1 game.

Jesionowski earned wins against Metea Valley and West Aurora while Emilee Erickson was the winner against Batavia.

Acevedo seals Kaneland’s baseball sweep

By LENNY EISELE editorial@kcchronicle.com DeKALB – Kaneland pitcher Angel Acevedo entered the game in the fifth inning and shut down DeKalb, and the Knights rallied late for a 3-1 win in eight innings April 13.

Acevedo struck out nine and held the Barbs scoreless over the final four innings to earn the win. He struck out the side in the first two innings he pitched.

“My goal was to just stay calm and stay relaxed. Just attack the strike zone,” Acevedo said. “I just wanted to keep the ball low and away as much as possible.”

It wasn’t the plan for Acevedo to make DeKalb batters whiff, but it’s hard to argue with the end result of those strikeouts.

“We weren’t expecting that, and we

wouldn’t put that on anybody,” Kaneland coach Brian Aversa said. “That’s not what we do. We expect our defense to play better, but we’ll take those nine strikeouts.”

The Knights scored the go-ahead run on a passed ball with two outs in the eighth and added an insurance run when Preston Havis hit a rocket off relief pitcher Jacob Perkins’ foot.

“We just kept moving guys, putting it on the next person,” Aversa said. “[We] put pressure on their defense and made a lot of hustle plays.”

DeKalb starting pitcher Bryce Wheeler pitched a gem of his own, giving up only one run in seven innings and striking out six.

“It was more about the mental side of things today. I was just trying to hit my spots and rely on the guys behind me,” Wheeler said.

Kaneland tied the game in the sixth inning on an RBI single by Robbie Dudzinski that knocked home Luke Calabrese.

The Barbs scored an early run in the first with aggressive running on the basepaths. Derek Kyler came home on an error after going from first to third on a hit-and-run. But DeKalb wouldn’t cross home plate again as that was all the offense it could muster.

For Kaneland, Calabrese went 2 for 4 with a run scored, Dudzinski was 3 for 4 with an RBI and a run scored, Joshua Norman went 1 for 3, and Havis went 1 for 4 with an RBI. “The plan was to jump on pitches early, get some baserunners on, start moving a little bit,” DeKalb coach Dedric Wright said, “We were able to execute a hit-and-run early in the first inning, but from there we didn’t get much

going on the bases and offensively.”

The Knights kept it rolling with a 10-9 home win against Aurora Central Catholic on April 15. Kaneland scored three times in the bottom of the sixth inning to take the lead for good.

A walk to Calabrese and a single by Dudzinski set the table for Norman, who singled home Calabrese. Joey Brandonisio’s single scored Jake Needham, running in place of Dudzinski, with the tying run. Logan Piercy, running for Norman, stole home for the winning run.

Calabrese hit two home runs, drove in three and scored four runs. Norman and Brandonisio each drove in two runs. Grant Thomas pitched the final 1 2/3 innings to earn the win.

Kaneland fell 14-4 against host Mount Carmel on April 17 to slip to 7-6 on the season

Knights stellar at Minooka track invite KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com

MINOOKA – If anyone doubted the ability of Kaneland’s boys track and field team to compete at the highest level, the Knights’ performance April 15 at the Minooka invite was an argument against that train of thought.

As the only Class 2A school in a field full of Class 3A powerhouse programs, the Knights placed eighth overall (in a field of 16 teams) with 48 points.

Matt Richtman had two impressive performances in the long distance races. He won the 3,200-meter run with a time of 9:53.59, and later in the meet he placed fifth in the 1,600 run in 4:42.75.

Danny Walker was the pole vault champ with a mark of 14 feet, 6 inches, while Clayton Hannula earned runner-up finishes in the discus (177 feet) and shot put (55-1).

Drew Gould finished fourth in the 110 hurdles (16.28 seconds), and all four relays notched top-10 finishes.

Adam Rivas, Matt Noel, Tyler Nance and Cody Delarme took sixth in the 4x200 relay in 1:35.68.

Rivas, Noel, Sam Suggs and Delarme were on the 4x100 relay that was ninth (44.68), and Rivas, Noel, Matt Redman and Delarme ran on the 4x400 that also finished ninth (3:39.38).

Spring rains a pain for umpires, teams, fans Mother’s Day is less than a month away, but you don’t have to worry about buying anything for Mother Nature.

I’d like to tell you what I’d like to give her, but I know my editor won’t allow me to write it and I don’t want him to eject me from producing future columns.

Does anyone know if it’s ever going to stop raining this spring?

Is the rain the tears of Mother Nature? If so, we all know there’s no crying in baseball, so stop crying!

Can someone contact coach Mike Leak, not Cardinals right-hander Mike Leake, but the coach of the Bad News Bears and get him to lead a chant of “Let them play?” Then again, do we

QUILL THE UMPIRE Chris Rollin Walker want to talk about a leak with all these precipitation and soggy field issues?

My final regular-season high school game is May 20. In case you haven’t noticed, today is April 20. The season is flying by and games continue to be postponed because of bad weather and sloppy field conditions. Some are rescheduled. Others are canceled because there simply isn’t time to reschedule them.

If you don’t think it’s been as bad as I say, consider my schedule at the end

of March. I was scheduled to work doubleheaders on all but one day during spring break from March 25 through March 31. None of those 13 games were played because of the weather. Then, Mother Nature mocked me – on April Fools Day of course – by finally allowing me to get out onto a field to work a Saturday doubleheader on a day where I was almost 100 percent positive that I’d be postponed again.

I know the rain is awful for umpiring assignors, athletic directors, coaches and players. It’s dreadful for us umpires, too, and you can add that to another reason why there is a shortage of umpires. Some are just sick and tired of all the waiting around and inevitable cancellations. I know some

who try to not work games until midApril in order to avoid the especially unpredictable first month. I know of a few others who spend time working games in Arizona, enjoying rainless days, wearing short sleeves, soaking in plenty of sun and warmth and the opportunity to catch some spring training games when they have some free time.

Unfortunately, only a select few are so lucky.

Most of us are stuck waiting around most days wondering if we’re playing or not. It’s even worse when the rain stays away until around 3:30 or 4 p.m. when we’re already en route to the field all for nothing.

Imagine if you got ready for work every day, waited around to go to work and then received word that you wouldn’t need to work that day and were paid nothing for it. Now imagine if that happened about half of the time.

That’s what spring high school baseball and softball has been for umpires in 2017. What a way to make a living, right?

The rescheduling is a thing of nightmares. There’s nothing like having a game 15 minutes away from home on a Friday turned into one 75 minutes away. “C’mon, blue, why are you complaining. They pay you extra for doing that!� No, sir, they do not. Throw in the fact that the visiting team arrives 15 minutes late after you’re sweating bullets in Friday afternoon traffic and get there minutes before game time, and you’ve got an umpire who is bubbling with the antonym of joy. There was some good news that day. The sun was out and it didn’t rain. Busy umpires can’t make up the lost dates. Certain games, such as conference contests, have to be rescheduled, but there’s only so much time. If you’re already scheduled to work most days, you’re not going to be picking up many rescheduled games because you simply don’t have open dates. Fewer

25

games result in fewer opportunities for the kids, which is the biggest shame.

Waking up on a beautiful Sunday morning is a blessing, although I also often think it’s Mother Nature’s way of saying, “Na-na na-na, boo-boo, you can’t play today.� How long is it going to be before high school teams start playing games on Sundays so they have one extra day to work with for reschedules? Nothing like a beautiful Sunday wasted followed by feeling like you’re in a Friday the 13th movie thunderstorm all day on Monday and dealing with yet another postponement.

Turf fields are great to play on as long as the rain stops. They at least give you the option to play immediately after it rains, but unfortunately there aren’t too many of them, and the ones available are hot commodities.

While turf dominates football fields in the suburbs, only a handful of teams have such options for baseball.

Well, enough whining from me. I’m just so sick and tired of all the rain and now it looks like my dogs need to get out for a walk. Oh, great, it’s raining again. But postponing a doggy potty break will result in an even bigger mess than all these rainouts. At least I have an umbrella.

Playwright plots murder mystery dinner benefit

By RENEE TOMELL

Cast and edibles

rtomell@shawmedia.com Man of mystery could describe Carl Zeitler, who just co-wrote his latest murder plot. His motive? To benefit Batavia’s annual summer Shakespeare production directed by Julane Sullivan, who also helms his latest interactive dinner-theater play debuting at Aliano’s Ristorante on April 30.

As audience members try to sleuth out the killer in the Oscar party-themed whodunit, they will mingle with Hollywood characters: the Oscar-winning diva, an up-andcoming director, a maven of red carpet reporting, a hapless and harried personal assistant, an often ignored multiple winner of the Science and Technical Academy Award, his niece from Kansas with an extreme fascination for movies and no filter in her comments, and a surprise guest.

The Glen Ellyn actor and writer, a mild-mannered elementary school-level reading specialist in Berwyn by day, dropped a few clues about “And the Murder Goes to … “ in speaking with reporter Renee Tomell. The following is an edited version of their conversation.

Renee Tomell: How did you get involved in Julane Sullivan’s project?

Carl Zeitler: She had directed me on several occasions in Shakespeare productions. I did a couple Shakespeare shows at Clark Island and one at the

Batavia Fine Arts Centre.

Tomell: How did you pick your co-writer, Debbi Dennison?

Zeitler: I have a similar sense of humor with Debbi. … I knew she had a theater background in improv. She’s a great writing partner.

Tomell: How do the two of you devise a story?

Zeitler: We’ll work on kind of a theme – Valentine’s Day or Halloween or Mother’s Day. We start with the characters. We know it’s going to be usually seven [and] find actors that we can reach out to that can fill these roles. Debbi and I brainstorm based on the theme, and we’ll be back and forth … online or texting. Then we’ll get together in person and have a major brainstorm. It’s a great process. [You] get energized with an idea. One person will add something, and it evolves.

Once we’ve got solid characters and a plot, we will start writing, and we will send it back and forth, [asking] did we get enough clues in and motive and false clues – all the intricate details?

Debbi and I are story-based and character-based [and] make it fun and quirky.

In addition to cast members Debbi Dennison and Carl Zeitler, the show also features Bill Boggs of Schaumburg, Galen Malick of Bartlett, Valerie Meachum of Elgin, Lynn Meredith of Elburn and Cheryl Rice of Elmhurst. Part of the ticket price will be donated to Shakespeare on Clark at the Centre’s summer production of “Love’s Labour’s Lost.”

Entree choices are grilled Atlantic salmon with a blood orange balsamic reduction over asparagus risotto; chicken Parmesan with penne pasta and marinara; and a thin-crust mini margherita pizza topped with fresh mozzarella and basil.

excited to perform there. You get a full course meal of great food and great service, an interactive show and a fun time. For $30, you can’t beat that.

Tomell: How does the event begin?

Zeitler: During social hour, we will have appetizers The actors in character will mingle with the crowd. We’ve written things in where audience members can get involved in various ways throughout the script itself.

Tomell: Will audience members be rewarded for their detective skills?

Zeitler: We have a variety of prizes. We make it fun and creative. We might have a clueless prize or worst detective – [their] reasons are way in left field. Somebody really interactive [we] might call that the best actor award or the best detective if they were spot on – not only who but why.

What clues did they find? We offer several different awards. We usually have something through Julane’s costume shop [All Dressed Up]. It’s something fun we announce at the end of the show [after] the dessert break.

Tomell: Will there be other creative touches?

Zeitler: I hear Aliano’s is working on special names for drinks that will be movie based, as well [as the food courses]. And while we don’t want to make people feel they have to dress [for] the Oscars, they’re welcome to. If we see someone who really got into the spirit, that would be another award.

MAPLE PARK – Christina Staker, an English teacher at Kaneland High School and director of the school’s upcoming production of “Singin’ in the Rain,” said “the hope” is that it will indeed rain during the famous song and dance scene in the musical.

“Our mission is to try to make it rain onstage,” Staker said.

The technical rehearsal scheduled for the week of April 17 will be the test for whether they can pull it off. A trough system, PVC piping and a baby pool will not only produce rain, they hope, but real puddles for Don Lockwood (played by senior Jarod Kovach) to dance in and out of.

The iconic musical, set in 1920s Hollywood, plays with the movie industry’s transition from silent film to “talkies.” Silent film star Lina Lamont (played by senior Taylor Heiser) faces a challenge with her nasal and high-pitched voice, which would likely end her career in the changing movie industry.

A solution is found through using the lovely voice of aspiring actress Kathy Selden (played by senior Sabrina Massa), substituting it for Lamont’s squeaky voice.

Then, Lockwood falls in love with Selden, and he wants her to have a career of her own, not just being the voice for Lamont. Therein lies the conflict of the story.

“We love this musical,” Staker said.

Staker, who is finishing her fourth year of directing theater at Kaneland High School, said she loves working with the students involved in productions. The seniors she is working with in the lead roles for “Singin’ in the Rain” were the freshmen she saw in her first year with the theater program.

“It’s a ton of fun to watch them grow and develop over time,” she said. “They wow me every year with some new talent.”

Although she had tap danced when she was young, she knew it was her weakest link, so she took classes for three months last fall to get ready for the audition.

“She’s a very determined woman who wants to make it on Broadway,” Massa said of her character.

Massa said she related to her character’s determination to achieve her goals.

Although she tried out for the role of Selden, Heiser said when she was chosen for Lamont, she instantly fell in love with the character.

“She’s crazy, and she’s not afraid of telling people what she thinks,” she said.

Her biggest challenge was finding a balance between good singing and the nasal tonality of her character’s voice.

Kovach said he started doing theater when he saw how much his older brother, Alec, enjoyed it.

He said he is enjoying the dancing and singing, and especially likes the songs “Singin’ in the Rain” and “Moses Supposes.”

He also enjoys playing a character who changes over the course of the production. He said Lockwood starts out with a bit of an ego, and a girl “brings him down to earth.”

Tickets are now on sale. The production will be staged April 21 through 23.

“Rao’s Classics” (St. Martin’s Press), a recently published cookbook co-authored by Frank Pellegrino Sr. and Frank Pellegrino Jr., comes with a collection of favorite Italian recipes from the iconic New York restaurant whose history dates to 1896.

Besides its popular East Harlem location, the business has expanded to Las Vegas and Hollywood.

“Rao’s Classics” recognizes timeless southern Italian cooking with more than 140 recipes for Risotto Milanese, Lobster Fra Diavolo, My Grandmother’s Stuffed Calamari and Red Velvet Shortcake, among others.

The Pellegrinos grew up with red sauce, so they pronounce their first encounter with Pasta with Peas and Ham in a Cream Sauce (recipe below) an “epiphany.” They describe the broadening experience as “a radical departure from the tyranny of tomatoes.”

In introductory remarks, the Pellegrinos observe: “Serving outstanding food enriches some of the most important elements in life: love,

Get more from your vegetable garden this season You work hard to prepare and plant your vegetable garden, so why not take a few simple steps to get the most from your garden?

One of the easiest ways to maximize yield is to water correctly. How do you know whether your garden needs water? The low-tech method is to poke your finger into the soil a couple of inches around the base of a plant. If the soil is dry, it’s time to water.

The time of day you water can affect your garden yield. If you water late in

Watering in the late afternoon reduces the chance of disease, but more evaporation occurs, so less water gets to your plants. The best time of day to water is early in the morning through

early afternoon. Water evaporation is low, and the plants have time to dry.

Water at the base of plants, not from above, to reduce the chance of disease.

Water slowly, so water soaks into the soil and doesn’t run off. To encourage deep root growth, water deeply and check that the soil is wet a few inches down. Don’t overwater; wait until the top few inches are dry before watering again.

Another way help your plants grow as large and productive as possible is to maintain space between them. When plants have space, it’s easier for them to get nutrients, light and water. More space makes it easier to remove those pesky weeds that compete with your plants. Also, there is more air circulation to reduce the chance of disease and insect pests. You can make space by thinning or harvesting (and eating!) plants as they become too large. Keep an eye on early season cool weather crops and remove them as soon as they show stress from increasing temperatures.

And finally, you can get more from your garden if you practice three season gardening. Many of us plant the cold-tolerant crops, such as kale, carrots, peas, spinach, lettuce and beets, in the spring and the warm-loving crops, such as tomatoes, squash, cucumbers and peppers, in late May. Consider replanting

I believe in transparency, especially now with the various filters we put on our life via social feeds. And when it comes to the modern woman, we are the masters of putting on a happy face no matter what the circumstance. It’s what we do as women – soldier on.

No matter what the situation, from the everyday stresses in life to more intense bouts that entail anything from a high stress career to an abusive relationship, if there is one thing we need as a community of people it is to be supportive and compassionate.

In my last column I talked about slow living and how to get there. But how can you get the peace of slow living if your life is in a shambles? Well, you can’t at first. This is where the phrase “baby steps” comes into play.

A few short years ago, I was living in abundant middle-class stability. But with the swoop of life-changing health concerns generously paired with the aftermath of a serious car accident, my husband and I decided to revamp our little world to support a mindset of “happy living or bust.” Isn’t it funny how unexpected change and a dose of fear light a fire under you to get busy living?

The trauma was not only health-related but of a financial nature, that consisted of the following years of challenges: The short sale of our home, bankruptcy, unemployment, over 25 job interviews, Medicaid, applying for food stamps, depression and an overwhelming amount of demoralization during the job hunting process, our electricity, gas, and phone shut off, a period of eight months receiving at least 10 calls a day from collection agencies, working multiple jobs to make ends meet, and a car accident.

I’m sharing to let you know there are people right here in our community who “get it.” In the past, I scoffed at people who chose to collect unemployment and thought homeowners who opted for a short sale were irresponsible.

And bankruptcy! My thoughts about bankruptcy before we went through a season of hardship were of failure and an easy way out.

Both my husband and I were working multiple jobs and at the same time, interviewing for positions that would sustain our meager life. Week after week we sunk deeper and deeper into debt hoping that the latest job interview would be “the one.”

I felt like I was drowning every day.

Desperate for some kind of relief and hopeful there was an end in sight to all of this stress, I sought self-help books to lift me out of the sadness and exhaustion. Suggestions of exercise, making inspirational mood boards and taking time for myself by getting a manicure or

We all have our morning routines and most of us include breakfast as a part of our normal regimen. But as we all know, routines can get dull fast, especially after you’ve been eating the same breakfast for a few months. If you find your family is in a breakfast rut, it may be time to switch things up and add some excitement to those early hours.

Here are a few new ideas to brighten up everyone’s morning: Get the whole family to cook. Getting everyone in the family to help out in the kitchen is easy, especially on weekends, and they’ll love feeling more involved.

Set up a pancake bar. Make a weekend breakfast extra special by setting up a short-order pancake station in your kitchen. Offer different flavors of pancake mix, set out chocolate chips, sliced fruit or any other ingredients to create special pancakes that appeal to your family.

Host a breakfast lottery. Do your kids complain about having to eat the same thing every day? Surprise them with a special breakfast lottery. Have ingredients on hand for several breakfast entrees, like pancakes, waffles, or crepes.

Put the names of each breakfast item in a hat and make whichever one you draw.

What our children with autism have taught us

A

By MARI–JANE WILLIAMS – The Washington Post pril is National Autism Awareness Month, and April 2 was World Autism Awareness Day. Blue lights were everywhere to raise awareness of the condition that, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, affects 1 in 68 kids.

“Sesame Street” debuted Julia, a Muppet who has autism,

April 10.

Success, wrapped in cinnamon and yeast

During a recent visit to the mall, my 23-year-old son Andrew, who has autism, discovered yeast. Andrew dreams of becoming a chef, and yeast’s ability to transform flour into an edible ball of yumminess was intoxicating. While inhaling the sweet perfume of butter, brown sugar and cinnamon, he fell in love with the cinnamon roll.

“What’s in the mix?” he said to the Cinnabon employee. “I need to know the ratio of flour to yeast.”

Next time, he took a notebook and pen. “I need to know about the yeast.

And what kind of cinnamon do you use?” he said in the friendly tone I taught him. The same employee pointed to bottles of cinnamon for sale.

He placed six bottles on the counter. “I just want to make cinnamon rolls like you,” he said, avoiding her eyes.

She smiled and brought him a list of ingredients included in the commercial mix. The one thing he recognized was yeast.

Soon, malted barley flour, dried buttermilk and industrial-sized cakes of yeast joined his growing collection of cinnamon. I was desperate for him to be like other kids his age, but he chose to spend his days studying baking on YouTube and searching for the perfect cinnamon roll recipe.

One afternoon I arrived home to the unmistakable scent of cinnamon tangled with yeast. My kitchen looked like a war zone.

“Sit here, Mom,” he said. “Meet my master creation! I call them Andrew’s Cinnamon Bites.”

I sat, fork raised, understanding my son had realized his dream. I saw on his face a deep sense of satisfaction and knew he was happier than many of the other young adults I knew. I took a bite and savored the

While the increased awareness is great, we’d also like to think of it as a time for greater acceptance and understanding of those with autism. So in honor of kids (and adults) with this neurological disorder that can affect social skills, speech and language and motor skills, we asked four of our contributors to The Post’s parenting blog to tell us what makes their child with autism awesome. overwhelmed by it.

Focusing on strengths rather than struggles

He is long and lanky. His hair is woolly and his smile is bright. He hates getting haircuts and says he wants an Afro.

Really, he wants to delay getting a haircut. He is kind, loves history and enjoys playing with his sisters every morning before school. He is their big brother, and takes pride in that.

He is my son, Jonathan, and he has autism, something I was in denial about for much of his life.

Once I accepted it, I pushed him to not allow his deficits to define him.

I encouraged him to focus on his assets, such as his voice, which gets exercise in our church choir almost every Sunday, or his strong arm, Photo provided which will be tested this spring in Charlotte fills her math worksheets with kitten faces instead of numbers, and she loves baseball.

Go on and please don’t look back Dr. Wallace: What makes one drug addictive and not another?

Do people who use addictive drugs all wind up becoming addicted?

My boyfriend is starting to use cocaine, but he says he can control his use and won’t become addicted. Is this really possible? – Nameless, Peoria Nameless: Simply stated, a drug

is considered addictive when a user feels uncomfortable or unhappy without it. This discomfort can be either physical or psychological. Cocaine is an addictive drug and is so potent that, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuses, people have become hooked on cocaine in as little as one month.

If a person uses cocaine only three or four times a year, chances are he will not become addicted. If he uses it three or four times a week, he will become addicted. Do you know a smoker who smokes on a regular basis who is not addicted to nicotine? I don’t think so.

Once a person becomes addicted to a certain drug, if he doesn’t get that drug he experiences withdrawal symptoms. That means the body or mind is distressed without the drug and demands to have it. These powerful symptoms cause the user to become irritable, lose energy and motivation, suffer severe depression and, in some cases, suffer acute physical discomfort. Your boyfriend risks plunging himself into a living nightmare!

If he still has the power to stop using cocaine but chooses not to, then leave him and go on with your life and don’t look back!

Dr. Wallace: I’m 15 and so is my best friend. She used to be a very happy-go-lucky person, full of energy and loads of fun to be around.

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace Now she always seems sad and depressed. It’s almost like she is a totally different person.

In the past three months, her parents were divorced and her boyfriend broke up with her.

Some days she will hardly talk to me. She misses a lot of school lately and I know her grades have dropped. When I talk to her about this, she either says that she doesn’t care that her grades are slipping or that she just doesn’t want to talk about it.

I have two questions. First, please tell me the warning signs for potential suicide victims. Next, do you think I should tell her school counselor about the odd behavior of my friend? – Nameless,

Providence, R.I. Nameless: I’ll answer your

second question first. Yes, tell your friend’s counselor immediately! Counselors are prepared to get help for teens who are depressed.

Now to answer your first question: Suicide is now the third leading cause of death among young people age 15 to 24.

Also, the suicide rate for teenagers has tripled over the past 30 years.

How can you tell if a teen is thinking about ending his or her life? The warning signs, according to Dr. James Comer, professor of child psychiatry at Yale University, include: noticeable change in eating and sleeping habits; withdrawal from friends and family and from regular activities; persistent boredom; decline in the quality of schoolwork; violent or rebel-

lious behavior; running away; drug and alcohol abuse; unusual neglect of personal appearance; difficulty concentrating; radical personality change, complaints of physical symptoms, such as stomachaches, headaches and fatigue.

Comments such as, “I won’t be a problem much longer,” or “It’s no use,” may be verbal signs of suicidal thoughts. A teen who goes about putting his or her life in order, throwing or giving away favorite possessions or cleaning his or her room, it this is uncommon, may be considering suicide.

A sudden forced cheerfulness after a period of depression is another danger sign.

Research indicates that young people who attempt suicide are more responsive to suggestion than adults are. The presence of examples or models also seems to be a factor. Thus, adolescents from families or in schools or groups in which suicide has occurred are more at risk.

Teen suicide often occurs after a loss, such as the death of a loved one, breakup with a girlfriend or boyfriend, or parental divorce. When such conditions exist, it is particularly important that adults be alert to the warning signs.

Dr. Wallace: If a girl asks a boy on a date, who should pay the expenses? My dad says the girl should pay and my mom said that if the guy was a true gentleman, he would pay. What do you say? – Laura, Michigan

City, Ind. Laura: The person who does the

inviting should be the one who picks up the tab. It’s not debatable!

Ex’s anger at betrayal spills over to daughter Dear Abby: My DEAR ABBY ex-husband had an affair with a Jeanne woman who was Phillips one of my dearest friends.

My heart is broken; my marriage is over. I have lost my home and my friend. It has been a struggle for me to recover.

My daughter, with whom I am very close, continues to have a relationship with this woman. While I know it’s not my place to tell her who to be friends with (she’s 22), I can’t help but feel betrayed.

My daughter is pregnant, and this woman seems to be attempting to play mother and push her way into every detail of my daughter’s pregnancy.

It’s extremely upsetting to me to have to share one more thing with her. She already took my home and husband; I would like to keep my daughter and grandbaby. What to do? – The Real Grandma-to-Be Dear Real Grandma: Although you cannot cut this woman completely out of your life because she is now with your ex, calmly discuss this with your daughter. She may have reasons that you are unaware of for wanting to include the woman to the extent that she has.

Dear Abby: We need help with our dad.

Many of his grandchildren participate in sports. For some reason, he thinks it’s perfectly fine to sit in the stands surrounded by people he doesn’t know and loudly criticize the other players.

We talk to him before the games. We remind him that he’s sitting by these players’ parents and what he’s doing is not cool.

Some of the parents become quite emotional if things don’t go well and Dad doesn’t need to be doing this. Yet he continues.

Have you any ideas on getting Grandpa to keep his opinions to himself? We don’t want to ban him from games and treat him like a 5-year-old who can’t behave, since he is still able to travel to see us for these visits. We try to sit away from others, but it’s not always possible. – Embarrassed in

Houston Dear Embarrassed: You already know the

answer to your problem, and I do not understand why you haven’t taken action. Was your father always this way, or has he become demented? When an adult acts like a 5-yearold and behaves inappropriately after having been cautioned against it, there is cause for concern.

If he is unable to control his behavior at those games, instead of being allowed to ruin them for everyone within earshot, he should ABSOLUTELY be banned from attending.

If you won’t do it for the sake of the players and other parents, then do it for your father’s safety because one of these days, an irate parent or relative may punch his lights out.

one side of the head. They can be accompanied by flashes of light, photosensitivity, a blind spot in the field of vision, tingling sensations on the skin and nausea.

Headaches can also be the result of factors such as eye strain, allergy, hunger or fasting, fever, fatigue, dental problems, lack of fluids and hangover, to name just a few. The truth is, the subject of headache is vast and extremely complex. And despite many strides forward (remember that dead-mole-on-the-head cure?), science still has more questions than answers.

What signals that a headache may be something to worry about?

• A major change to the pattern of your headaches, such as going from a few per month to one per day.

• The sudden onset of persistent headaches, particularly after age 50.

• A headache that is the most severe you have ever had.

• The onset of a headache after a traumatic event to the head.

• Any headache that alters cognitive function, is accompanied by fever and a stiff neck, or includes symptoms like slurred speech, blurred vision, weakness, numbness or seizures.

These can be signs of underlying conditions such as head injury, infection, tumor, high blood pressure, fluid buildup in the skull, decrease in blood flow or bleeding in the brain.

This all sounds alarming, so let us assure you again that these conditions are rare.

However, if any of the above happen to you, please be safe and seek immediate care.

Dear Doctor: I’ve always had headaches, from the time I was a teenager. But now I get them more often – about one headache per week. Is this a warning sign of something?

Dear Reader: Headache is among the most common – and ancient – of physical complaints. You would be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn’t suffered from a headache at some point in time.

Mentions of headache in written texts date back to 1200 B.C., and treatments over the centuries have included the use of leeches, garlic, oil in the ear, tying a dead mole to one’s head (no, we’re not making this up), magnets, electricity, psychotherapy and that universal refuge, the soothing bath.

Most headaches are periodic bouts of pain centered in the head and/or neck. It’s not the brain tissue itself that’s sending pain signals – it’s the surrounding tissues, blood vessels and nerves that serve the area. Many headaches respond to medication and lifestyle changes. Some, however, like migraines, may persist despite treatment. Some headaches can be warning signs of larger problems such as blood clot, stroke or tumor. Thankfully, those are rare.

Although there are many different types of headache, most fall into four major categories: • Tension headaches are the most common, marked by dull pressure, like a band tightening around your forehead.

• Sinus headaches, which cause a deep, throbbing pain, occur when the cavities around the cheeks, nose and forehead become inflamed.

• Cluster headaches, marked by severe pain in and around one eye, get their name because they often occur in clusters, but they are less common.

• Migraines, which can last for hours or even days, cause debilitating pain, often on

Of course, pricing varies based on the size, condition and complexity of the table, such as whether it has leaves or not.

Another client’s dining table

has a dark industrial concrete top that is so heavy visually and literally that the only way to get it out is to break it or have it craned out. The table is in an eighth-floor apartment, so there is no way of just carrying it out. To give the table a facelift, I enlisted the help of

the client’s architects, New York-based Moschella/Roberts Architects, who suggested making a quarter-inch to half-inch thick white Corian top that will be adhered to the concrete with a special epoxy. They also proposed adding a thicker knife edge that tapers to a sharp

point around the perimeter of the table to reduce the visual weight of the tabletop and conceal the concrete below.

In the last case, my client is not willing to commit to a white table. We settled on making a white tablecloth to the floor with an inverted pleat at each corner and then topping it with glass.

As for the dining chairs, my clients are keeping their existing chairs, and one client plans to re-cover the seats in a lighter fabric. We all agree: Their chairs will look fresher when paired with a white table, the chairs’ shapes will stand out more, and the juxtaposition will make the rooms look more interesting.

Like fashion, decorating trends come in waves. One day, everyone wants a sputnik light fixture in their foyer, and the next they want a Moroccan Beni Ourain-style rug on their living room floor.

If my clients’ wishes are any indication of what the next trend will be, then I’m predicting that light and bright dining rooms are the upcoming craving du jour.

In the past few weeks, three clients have called wanting to lighten up their dining rooms.

When asked why, they all said the same thing: They wanted these underutilized rooms to be happy, uplifting and airy. The dark wood furnishings they had installed 10 or so years ago – the ones they used to think of as warm and cozy – now feel too serious and boardroom-like.

Their desire for change is partly driven by the fact that they all want to use their dining rooms more – particularly during the day – so a lighter, fresher design seems more attractive and inviting. I also attribute their change to today’s ever-growing influence of Scandinavian design that favors lighter woods and paler colors.

Although there are several ways of giving my clients what they want – repainting the walls, changing the window treatments – I have urged them to start by making the biggest piece in the room, the dining table, white. I like white tables because they are crisp and clean and because every kind of china, glass, flower and linen (not to mention food!) looks good on them. The clients also have dark wood floors, so a white table will immediately lighten a large horizontal swath of the room. And although white dining tables are plentifully available on the market, the clients, for various reasons, will be transforming their existing tables.

One client had her walnut table custom-made – she loves the shape of the table, just not the finish. So the best solution is to have it sanded, stripped, and white-lacquered. The process is not inexpensive; Harry C. Johnson & Son, a Maryland-based

■ Graham & Brown (grahambrown. com): The U.K. wallpaper company, gradually expanding into North America, is known for florals, ticking stripes and rich solids.

■ Aimée Wilder (aimeewilder.com): Fresh, playful and on-trend, this Brooklyn artist’s imaginative motifs are bold without being loud. The Jungle Dream, Deliciosa and Cactus Spirit collections are inspired by exotic flora and fauna. Most are available in 10 or more colorways so you can find the best match for your project.

■ Burke Decor (burkedecor.com): Erin Burke’s online store sells tableware, lighting and furniture, but wallpaper has been her top seller every year since the site launched 10 years ago.

■ Brewster Home Fashions (brewsterwallcovering.com): Peel-and-stick papers are a great choice for apartment dwellers.

WallPops, Brewster’s wallpaper-inspired take on wall decals, are essentially large vinyl stickers that you can cut to fit your space. Peel them off when you’re done.

Unpasted papers don’t come with adhesive, so you’ll need to paste the wall or the back of the paper.

• Repeats and waste: Repeats are the number of inches a pattern stretches vertically until it repeats itself.

Generally, the lower the repeat, the lower the waste. Solids and textures, for example, have no repeat and little waste because the amount you’ll need is easy to calculate.

• Calculating coverage: Before you buy, you need to determine how much wallpaper you need. This gets tricky when you take windows and doors into account, so using an online calculator (such as those offered by Lowe’s and Home Depot) is recommended. Exact roll measurements vary by manufacturer, but most cover 25 to 28 square feet. Retailers often price wallpaper by the single roll but sell only double or triple rolls.

• Upkeep: Wallpapers are surprisingly durable, and these days, maintaining them is easy. Scrubbable papers can be cleaned with a sponge and detergent.

Washable papers can be gently cleaned or wiped with a damp cloth.

• Removal: Commitment-phobes should look for two types of paper: strippable and peelable. The former can be removed without water or chemicals and leave no backing. The latter peels off the wall and may leave some adhesive residue behind, which can be removed with soap and water.

and fantastically whimsical, with characters that feel pulled from a storybook and patterns right from the runway.

The colors are richer. The fabrics are textured and sometimes 3-D. And the images have a lifelike sharpness thanks to advances in digital printing.

Erin Burke, who runs the contemporary home furnishings website Burke Decor, frequently receives requests to scale and print wallpapers made from personal photos that can be tiled or enlarged to mural size. “It sounds strange, but remember, wallpaper is a conversation piece,” she said, adding that hotels and restaurants already do this in bar areas and bathrooms.

If there’s a common thread to modern wallpaper application, it’s restraint.

Designers suggest using it sparingly and purposefully, in one or two rooms or perhaps a single accent wall (though fabric papers such as grass cloth should cover a whole room). For consumers, that’s low cost and maintenance.

“An artsy, adventurous print can speak for itself,” Curtis said.

Low-maintenance is key. Installing and removing wallpaper used to be a notorious headache, so technology has done wonders for its reputation. “The days of scraping and steaming are over,” Berberian said. “Less mess, less stress.”

Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams, said wallpaper has never been more affordable or convenient.

Sherwin-Williams, the country’s largest wallpaper distributor, is planning to release four new books of wallcoverings this year, putting its total Photo provided by Burke Decor catalog at more than 100,000 options.

Those numbers aren’t comforting for Burke Decor’s Marble Block wallpaper costs $98 per roll. folks who are overwhelmed. Where do you start? Here are a few guidelines.

• Types: Wallpaper is categorized by its material and adhesive coating. Nonwoven substrate paper is popular with renters because it dry-strips easily from the wall. Pre-pasted papers come with a water-activated adhesive backing. Both are durable, strippable and generally grease-resistant, which makes them smart choices for those with children or pets. Wallpapers are typically sold as single rolls or bolts (double rolls).

• Print matching: The “match” tells you how to line up the pattern from strip to strip. There are three types: straight, random and drop. Straightmatch papers run the width of the paper and across the seam onto the next strip. Random-match papers continue seamlessly no matter what. Dropmatch papers require extra planning and must be aligned horizontally and Photo provided by Eric Laignel vertically on either side, as the pattern Designer Kati Curtis says the renewed interest in wallpapers, such as the botanical Fro- is slightly offset from strip to strip. mental paper she used in this project, is in part a backlash to the “sterile grays-whites• Pastes and booking: Pre-pastneutrals” of the ’90s and early aughts, and the more recent obsession with the layered ed wallpapers usually need to be “booked,” which means wetting the rugs and clustered collectibles of the California bohemian aesthetic.

Mortgage Interest Rates Are Projected to Increase M Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey shows that interest rates for a 30year mortgage have remained around 4% over the last couple months. The Mortgage Bankers Association, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac & the National Association of REALTORS® are in unison, projecting that rates will increase by at least a half a percentage point this time next year. An increase in rates will impact YOUR monthly mortgage payment. A year from now, your housing expense will increase if a mortgage is necessary to buy your next home.

NMLS # / License #

Either Way, You are Paying a Mortgage Everyone should realize that, unless you are living with your parents rent-free, you are paying a mortgage – either yours or your landlord’s. As an owner, your mortgage payment is a form of ‘forced savings’ that allows you to build equity in your home that you can tap into later in life. As a renter, you guarantee your landlord is the person with that equity. Are you ready to put your housing cost to work for you?

It’s Time to Move on with Your Life The ‘cost’ of a home is determined by two major components: the price of the home and the current mortgage rate. It appears that both are on the rise. But what if they weren’t? Would you wait? Look at the actual reason you are buying and decide if it is worth waiting.

If the right thing for you and your family is to purchase a home this year, buying sooner rather than later could lead to substantial savings.

Painting is the easiest, least expensive and single most transformative tool in all of interior design. Paint can change the mood of a room and your perception of its size. It can spotlight overlooked details in your home’s architecture, and it can make blah furnishings spring to life.

That said, painting can also be an overwhelming process.

You have to gather the tools, do the prep work and, most challenging of all, choose a color. People get paralyzed because what looks good on a little paint chip can look very different when you’ve dipped a whole room in it.

My No. 1 trick to picking paint is to look to your closet for color inspiration. If your favorite sweater is red, then chances are you’ll like the way you look in a similarly hued room. Also, when choosing colors, make sure you take into account the natural light (or lack thereof) in your room.

Light is the biggest factor in how you perceive color. Too much of it, and paint loses its saturation and looks like a photo that’s blurred by a flashbulb. Not enough light, and color falls lifelessly flat.

There probably are some rooms in your home that are blasted with daylight and others that rely solely on artificial light. Common knowledge would have it that dark rooms should be painted in light or bright colors to counteract their natural dimness. But I suggest you consider the opposite. Pale colors tend to feel dingy and flat in low light, so instead I like to use the shadowy corners to my advantage and use moody hues such as chocolate brown (I love Benjamin Moore’s Wood Grain Brown) or a dark blue (Benjamin Moore’s Gentleman’s Gray is one of my faves). Rooms that are used solely in the evening respond especially well to this treatment; rich colors provide complexity and warmth.

You won’t believe that you once thought low light was a detriment.

Paint a dark or bright color on a wall featuring framed pictures, objects or books. They’ll pop from the contrast. This dark wall was given a white border with FrogTape.

• POINTERS

Continued from page 45 Here are a few more paint tricks you can use to accomplish your decorating goals: • Visually declutter a room.

Paint walls the same hue as your sofa or largest piece of furniture and watch the furniture recede into the space.

• Spotlight art or photographs. Paint a dark or bright color on a wall featuring framed pictures, objects or books. They’ll pop from the contrast.

• Raise your ceilings. Paint ceilings a tone or two lighter than the walls - but not necessarily white. It will appear higher.

• Highlight shapely furniture. A chair with a spectacular openwork back or a curvy sofa can be amplified by painting the walls a contrast

color. Lavender, powder pink and robin’s egg blue help dark wood look its best, while more saturated colors will let crisp white pieces shine.

• Ensure a good night’s sleep. The bedroom is the only room where you fully look at the ceiling. Dipping your whole bedroom in one hue guarantees a cozy, enveloping, cocoonlike sensation each night. If you’re wedded to keeping ceilings white, pick a shade that borders on powder blue to give the illusion of a cloudless sky.

Handy helpers Paint technology and paint accessories have come a long way. Here are two items that will ease the paint process: • FrogTape. If you’ve ever painted a room, you know the importance of blue painter’s tape. It’s the tape that’s used to protect moldings, window casements and door frames

when you are applying wall paint. It’s also the tool used for creating stripes and other decorative paint patterns. But there’s a new tape in town: FrogTape. FrogTape feels just like other painter’s tapes, but when it comes into contact with the water in latex paint, it creates a gel that seals the edges of the tape. The result is incredibly crisp, clean paint lines and no bleeding.

• Paint 2 It antigravity tray. You have to see this in action to believe it, but inventors Victor Delbosque and Ben Mayberry created Paint 2 It, a shallow antigravity tray that can hold up to 12 ounces of wet paint at a time.

The paint does not drip or spill, even when you turn the tray upside down.

This means that you

can carry the tray up a 12-foot ladder with ease and not worry about spills. The tray is lined with a disposable fabric liner that absorbs the paint but does not allow it to dry or drip.

Elizabeth Mayhew, a “Today” show style expert and former magazine editor, is the author of “Flip! for Decorating.”

The Paint 2 It anti-gravity tray can prevent spills.

FAST DELIVERY Hawkwind, an English rock band, in a song called “Sea King,” has this lyric: “Unbid to him comes a rune once taught.”

We have been looking at negative doubles that show length in an unbid major. But what happens when there is no unbid major, as in today’s deal?

Now a negative double promises length in both minor suits. (If North had been stronger, he would have responded two clubs; but with insufficient power to bid immediately at the two-level, he starts with a negative double.) South’s hand isn’t perfect with those three losing spades, but it would be cautious to rebid less than four hearts.

What should the result be after West leads the spade king?

If only South could gain the lead, he could collect a lot of tricks. Now, though, the defenders are in control.

First, East must overtake the spade king with his ace. Then he leads back his second spade. West takes two more tricks in the suit, and East should discard a discouraging diamond two. What happens next?

West should realize that his side has no more side-suit tricks available.

The bidding and East’s signal mark declarer with the diamond ace. Also, if South needs a club finesse to work, it will. The defenders must try to gain a trump trick.

West should lead a fourth spade.

Then, if East is in midseason form, he will ruff with the heart 10, which effects an uppercut. South will overruff, but then West gains a trump trick, the defense’s fourth winner.

When you’ve taken all possible side-suit tricks, try for a trump promotion.

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

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

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

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

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

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