“I love the Sugar Grove Public Library. It’s a beautiful building with a warm atmosphere and a friendly staff.” – Keith Beebe, editor of the Sugar Grove Herald

Send us a sentence or two about something you love in Sugar Grove to sugargrove@shawmedia and we’ll share it in print and online at KCChronicle.com.

Welcome to your new weekly paper

Today is the day.

The Kane County Chronicle staff is excited to welcome the Elburn Herald and Sugar Grove Herald to its new group of five weekly newspapers – papers that cover Elburn, Sugar Grove, St. Charles, Geneva and Batavia.

Your paper today differs from the old one in many ways, but it still retains many of the features that we know our readers love.

First, you very likely have already noticed that this newspaper has some bulk to it. Your new weekly paper includes a wide array of news stories, features and advertisements. It also includes a real estate section, color comics, a sports section and entertainment section.

It’s also in a “tab” format, meaning the size of the pages have changed.

The entertainment section – Kane Weekend – is new to readers of the Elburn Herald and Sugar Grove Herald. It includes preview stories about fun family events taking place in Kane County, as well as comics, puzzles, advice columns, the horoscope and TV grids.

Readers are invited to pull the

EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK Kathy Balcazar 24-page Kane Weekend section out of the paper, so they can share it with family members or keep it around the house as they plan out their weekend and week.

In addition, the Kane County Magazine will be inserted into the paper once a month, offering readers even more information about local shopping, dining and entertainment.

Like the Kane Weekend section, the sports section also has been designed so that it can be pulled right out of the paper. At eight pages, that section includes stories about Kaneland High School athletes, the “Athlete of the Week” feature, photos depicting the Kane County Cougars and Chicago Steel, a Sports Neighbors page and other items.

Readers will find the beloved “Good Natured” column by Pam Otto on page 13 of the paper. And they’ll find photo editor Sandy Bressner’s “In Focus” column on page 12.

The history feature – “Then & Now” – can be found on page 11. And a new business page can be found on page 14.

We’ve been looking forward to getting this new weekly newspaper into your hands. And we want to hear your feedback.

Comments and suggestions can be sent to feedback@kcchronicle.com.

Lastly, as we move through the week ahead, remember to regularly check our website, www.kcchronicle.com, for timely information about breaking news, government meetings, prep games and other happenings in Kane County.

You also can “like” us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/kanecountychronicle or “follow” us on Twitter @kcchronicle.

Library seeks vendor to replace departed Java Plus

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com The Book Nook Café at the Sugar Grove Public Library is out of coffee.

Java Plus departed at the end of March, leaving a void at the library, but one that Library Director Shannon Halikias doesn’t expect to last for long.

Halikias said she has toured four solid and experienced vendors at this point, and she’s also sent many requests for proposals to interested candidates.

“I have requested that interested candidates also contact the [Sugar Grove] village to determine what permit steps they need to take,” she said.

“I am currently interviewing candidates and providing tours.”

Volunteers and custodial staff have

been working on a deep cleaning of the café and will provide a repaint before the new vendor moves in.

Halikias said there isn’t a favorite in the running to replace Java Plus.

She hopes to find someone who will provide a friendly and community-minded shop that offers coffee, tea, other beverages and food.

“I am especially interested in vendors that could provide health and fresh meal items in addition to baked goods,” she said. “I know good coffee is a priority, as well. Several of our vendors have extensive coffee experience in addition to a background in food service, so I am hoping we will see a yummy menu in the future.”

What’s important for any potential suitor is to understand the ethics of a public library as both a civic institu-

tion as well as one that is tax-supported.

“Our roles, policies and communication structure will be defined on the front end as to create a successful environment,” she said. “We are encouraging a new vendor to have flexibility in being creative and utilizing their space, and we are seeking somebody easy to work with. A strong café is an asset to the library; a dynamic library is a people magnet to bring business to a café.”

Halikias said the tours have gone well, thus far.

“The extremely low rent is an asset to somebody looking to take their business to the next level,” she said. “And the existing equipment furnished by the library is a dream for a new start up.”

Further inquiries are welcome by contacting Halikias at 630-466-4686.

Library celebrating poetry with words, magnetic tins

By STEFANIE FRAZIER editorial@kcchronicle.com Celebrating National Poetry Month through stringing words together via magnets and tin boxes? It’s real, and it’s coming to the Sugar Grove Public Library.

The program, Create Your Own Magnetic Poetry Kit, will take place from 2 to 3 p.m.

April 16 in the Teen Zone room at the library, which is at 125 S. Municipal Drive in Sugar Grove.

Adult Services Manager Genna Mickey will lead the program. Library Director Shannon Halikias has noticed DIY events becoming more popular as of late.

“This ties into what I would call the whole maker’s movement that we’ve seen in libraries and schools across the nation, where students have returned to liking to make things via art, via crafts, via knitting or whatnot,” Halikias said. “So, this kind of fuses making something with creat-

The program is intended for students in grades six through 12 and will begin with them receiving a tin box. Halikias said the box will be bigger than an eyeglass case but smaller than a lunch box.

Participants will then flip through provided magazines and cut out words of interest.

They can even cut out objects to add to their boxes.

“If somebody wants to add in a flower or a bumble bee or any-

thing else, they certainly have that flexibility,” Halikias said.

Participants will be able to stick their words onto magnet sheets, and will even be able to add decorations with colorful Washi tape. The idea is that – with all of the chosen words – students can create different poems in the box.

“Once you have enough of a collection of words, you’ll be able to craft and re-craft all different sorts of poems and limericks with it,” Halikias said.

Attendees can listen to music while they’re working.

Cookies and bottled water will be available.

Interested participants must register via the library’s website, www.sgpl.org, or sign up at the reference desk.

“It’s going to be really fun,” Youth Library Manager Aimee Marx said. “Everyone’s going to leave with their own tin of magnetic poetry, so it will be great for dorm rooms or lockers or anything like that. I think it’s just a great idea for that age.”

Aurora man dies in crash in Sugar Grove Township KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com An Aurora man died from injuries sustained during a vehicular crash in Sugar Grove Township on the afternoon of April 10.

Peter Mickle, 93, of the 0-100 block of Cedar Gate Circle, Aurora, was taken to Mercy Center Hospital and later pronounced dead after his Chrysler Town and Country van collided with another vehicle.

According to an initial Kane County Sheriff’s Office investigation, Mickle was traveling west on Hankes Road, west of Windsor Drive, in unincorporated Sugar Grove Township, and for

an unknown reason crossed the center line and struck a Mazda CX9 traveling east on Hankes Road.

The driver of the Mazda, Tracey Miller, 49, of the 0-100 block of Glengarry Lane, Sugar Grove, also was transported to Mercy Center Hospital in Aurora. Each driver was the vehicle’s sole occupant.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation

by Kane County Sheriff’s Office detectives and members of the Kane County Accident Reconstruction Team.

No tickets were immediately issued. Hankes Road was closed until approximately 4 p.m. while the crash was investigated.

Community helps Sugar Grove family displaced after home fire

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com The immediacy of social media recently had a positive impact in Sugar Grove.

On April 3, the Blackburn family, residents of the village’s Walnut Woods subdivision, suffered a house fire that rendered their house uninhabitable and caused an estimated $350,000 in damage.

After learning of the news, Sugar Grove resident Shannon Nore decided to do what she could to help the family during its difficult time.

Although Nore had never met the family, her daughter Kendall is an eighth-grade classmate and friend of the Blackburn’s daughter.

Shannon Nore had Kendall gather some contact info for the family, as well as a list of their immediate needs, and then turned to Facebook – specifically the “Kaneland Moms” page, which is a group for Kaneland parents to share school-related information. Shannon Nore asked for those interested in helping the family to donate gift cards from Jewel-Osco, Wal-Mart, Target, Kohl’s and other related stores to Harter Middle School or Kaneland High School, or to contact her directly to arrange for a dropoff.

“I just wanted to try to do something to help,” Shannon Nore said. “We found out that the best way to help was to donate gift cards, so that’s how

this all got started.”

The Blackburns, who are parishioners of St. Katharine Drexel Catholic Church in Sugar Grove, also received gift card donations from fellow parishioners. St. Vincent DePaul Fr. Bob Smith delivered the items and some blankets to the family, as they’re now living in a rental home.

The school collections will conclude at HMS and KHS by the end of this week. The drive at the schools hadn’t netted much as of April 12, but that doesn’t mean the opportunity to donate is over. Shannon said she would gladly arrange to meet up with folks who contact her at snore@sbclglobal.net.

The schools are still accepting gift cards through April 15.

Kaneland girls soccer forward Becca Richtman had not competed for her high school team until this spring, when she elected to add soccer to her spring sports repertoire.

Also an accomplished sprinter and middle distance runner for the Knights’ girls track team, Richtman happily is juggling two sports as a junior. For more on her story, see the Sports section.

Art celebration a community effort Event brings together work from artists and performers

By VIOLET MARQUARDT editorial@kcchronicle.com The Kaneland School District on April 10 hosted its 17th annual fine arts festival at Kaneland High School. The event welcomed around 3,000 guests and a wealth of performing and visual artists from District 302 schools, as well as the Kaneland community and beyond.

The Kaneland Community Fine Arts Festival began in May 1998 at Kaneland South Elementary School (now known as John Shields Elementary) in an effort to showcase the talent found within the school district.

The festival took a hiatus in 2005 to accommodate new construction at Kaneland High School, then resumed in 2006 in the high school’s then-new auditorium. “[Then-Kaneland School District art teacher] Bonnie Whildin and another art teacher in the district wanted to bring more people out together to enjoy art,” said Maria Dripps-Paulson, executive director for the Kaneland Arts Initiative.

“Back then, there weren’t as many cultural opportunities in this area, so they wanted to offer free visual and performing arts.”

The fine arts festival began as a series of lectures based on different mediums of art. Over the years, however, the event has evolved into a show that displays various art forms and offers some lectures in order to let guests enjoy the festival at their own pace. Each year’s event takes about 30 people and a year to plan, according to Dripps-Paulson.

This year’s festival featured a handful of artists from all around the state who presented, sold and demonstrated their art during the festival. Among the artists was Margie Olszewski, a digital artist who sat and talked with guests about her medium of art, the tools needed for it and how she begins each piece.

“I start on a blank screen [on the computer] and work my way backward. I start out really transparent and do a wash of the entire background, and then get more opaque and detailed as I go,” Olszewski said.

According to Olszewski, she was invited to attend the fine arts fes-

Dripps-Paulson said that she and Kaneland art teacher Heidi Gilkey scout out artists for each year’s show by attending various art shows in the community.

“We are one of the few art shows that actually hires our artists to come out, instead of them paying to be a part of the festival,” Dripps-Paulson said. “That way, we can get the quality of art that we desire.”

Wrapping around the hallways was the artwork of students from all over the school district. Artwork from the elementary schools, middle school and high school were displayed, showcasing everything from drawn pictures to photography and ceramics. “[The festival] really shows the creativity each student has, [as well as] the types of things going on in the art classrooms. It is more than just coloring,” said Sara Chumbley, whose son, first-grader Brayden, had artwork featured during the fest.

Dripps-Paulson said any student with art featured in the festival should consider it an honor.

“There are around 500 pieces of

I’m not sure if many people understand that,” Dripps-Paulson said. “Whenever the professional artists get a break and they can take a look around and see the art, the always comment on how great it all is.

That’s a great compliment for us.”

In addition to the displays of artwork, the festival also boasted a number of performances from different bands of different grade levels within the district. Dripps-Paulson said a majority of the bands began preparing in February for their performance.

New to this year’s festival were performances from Bill Cho’s United Taekwondo.

“Each year we try to add some-

thing new, so this year we added taekwondo performances,” Dripps-Paulson said.

The taekwondo performance featured members as young as 7 years of age, as they demonstrated to the audience their ability to break boards and execute basic self-defense moves.

“It is a very action-filled event,” said Ann Janecek of Bill Cho’s United Taekwondo. “Taekwondo is a martial art, and we’re very happy that we were asked to perform today.

This is a very emotional and physical form of art.”

Although the festival is only a day in length, the impact it has on each participant is much longer. The festival is made possible by a number of donors, grants and fundraisers, as well as the hard work done by its volunteers and employees.

“It’s a labor of love. There is a small group of people who work to make this happen. There is never an off day,” Dripps-Paulson said. “The fine arts fest is a great experience.

I think families should come even if their kids aren’t featured in some way and make it a tradition. It’s just a really good experience to have.”

Officials discussing staff and school club funding

varsity and JV cheerleading, marching band percussion instructor and assistant marching band director, and a plan to split the high school band, jazz band and marching band stipend into three different positions, which could then be split between different staff members.

Purcell then presented the secondary Tier 2 requests, to help newer, growing clubs succeed. Tier 2 recommendations included the Key Club, Latin American Student Organization, Computer Science Club, Snowflake, Project KC and a high school Science Club assistant. The Tier 3 considerations were to increase the stipend for the Kolla Voce director and increase the needed stipends for the Building Leadership Team by adding two representatives.

The financial impact of the highest-priority Tier 1 requests is $28,110.

To add Tier 2 would raise the amount to $37,750. The total needed to fund all three tiers would require $42,681 per year.

Board members agreed on the importance of student activities to enrich the school experience but were reluctant to create any additional strains to the projected budget deficit. Several staff members expressed their frustration with the step-by-step nature of building a budget that requires staffing and operational expenses come before other reoccurring votes on expenditures.

“I am of the mind that I regret an earlier vote for the new [staff] positions over funding the ones we already established,” board member Cheryl Krauspe said. “I wish I had the money back to put towards this, because I value this more than I value that. That was in the order it was brought to us.

To me, this $40,000 goes further to define us and provide for our kids and their overall school experience than perhaps some of these other expenditures.”

A vote on the additional funding for activities and stipends will take place at the school board meeting April 25.

Elburn community welcomes lawn equipment center

By SUSAN O’NEILL

If you go

editorial@kcchronicle.com Ralph Helm has been feeling the love from Elburn as of late.

Helm, who opened his Ralph Helm Inc. Lawn Equipment Center in the village at the beginning of March, said the welcome Elburn has given him has been wonderful.

The feeling continued on April 9 during an open house for Helm’s business. Helm said he decided last year to open his business in the village after he learned that Rob Houtz, whose family had owned the R.F. Houtz & Son Cub Cadet business in town the past 81 years, planned to retire in March 2016.

Following discussions between the two men, Houtz sold his building on North Street to Helm in early summer 2015. They reached a mutual agreement about the business, and Helm bought some of Houtz’s inventory, equipment and tools, and also hired his employees.

Helm is leasing the building at 820 Stover Drive, Unit A, off Thyrelius Street, while he actively looks for properties during the next couple of years to build a new storefront, preferably along Route 47. Helm has said that, with locations already in Elgin and Crystal Lake, opening the location in Elburn works well with his growth strategy.

Helm has been stopping by the Stover Drive location the past few months, moving in and getting things ready to open for business. He said a number

Helm said that he will carry the Cub Cadet line, as well as a variety of other

brands, such as Toro, Honda, Stihl and Echo. He will offer a variety of other products, such as generators rototillers, chain saws, leaf blowers and string trimmers.

“Instead of having to travel to Sugar Grove or Batavia for these items, people will be able to stay in town and buy them,” Helm said.

There are on-site demo units of many of the products available, so customers can try them out to see if they like them. Most of the manufacturers have special financing available when it comes time to purchase items.

In addition to new tool and equipment sales, Helm offers maintenance and repair of the equipment he sells, as well as other machines. The service technicians who were employed by the Houtz operation are now working for Helm.

Tool and equipment parts are for sale for the do-it-yourself crowd.

Helm is the third generation of the family in the business, which was started by his grandfather in 1923. He has been in the business since 1983.

“We’re just excited to be here, and we want to let people know to stop in. We’re here to help them out,” Helm said.

The Kaneland School Board on April 11 discussed possibilities for staff and school club funding for the 2016-17 school year, and then weighed those possibilities against a potential budget deficit.

Teachers and members of the Differentials and Stipends Committee were on hand to find out the school board’s thoughts about the committee’s proposal to award additional or new stipends to activity sponsors within the district. The Differentials and Stipends Committee is comprised of Kaneland Education Association representatives and members of the building and administration. The presentation was a preview to a vote at the April 25 meeting.

The committee had 24 requests for

funding sponsors of student activities, and created a three-tier structure to prioritize requests to give the board options to fund the three portions. Due to the late settlement of the teacher contracts, no stipends were approved for the current school year.

The committee weighed requests made last year when considering the requests for the 2016-17 school year. It rated need by the numbers of students served and the frequency of the interaction.

Michael Purcell, director of Kaneland Educational Services 6-12, presented the activities in the three tiers, along with the associated financial impact. Tier 1 requests included new funding for the Gay Straight Alliance, Sci-Fi/ Anime Club, a high-school weight room supervisor, the creation of a madrigals assistant position, reinstating elementary school writing coaches, and an addition of a coordinator for the Harter Middle School Science Fair. Other Tier 1 priority requests included increased funding for

Kaneville Public Library hosts Clara Barton re-enactment event

By SUZANNE FLYNN editorial@kcchronicle.com

• Thursday, April 14, 2016

She looked like Clara Barton. She knew everything about Clara Barton.

But the person who spoke as Barton at the Kaneville Public Library on April 6 was actually actress Leslie Goddard, who brought her historical character to life during the educational performance.

Barton is perhaps most famous for founding the American Red Cross. But she also holds the distinction of being the first woman to serve as a nurse on the front lines of a battlefield, which she did during the Civil War. During her Kaneville Library performance, Goddard’s character shared stories of the challenges she faced in her quest to care for wounded soldiers during the Civil War. She spoke to the audience about the medical conditions she treated during this war and the courage it took for her to brave the war’s front lines.

Goddard has given presentations as Barton for nearly 12 years.

“What started as a hobby turned into a full-time job about three years ago,” she said.

Goddard in 2015 presented more than 300 programs, portraying historic woman such as Barton, Amelia Earhart, Eleanor Roosevelt and Jacqueline Kennedy. Goddard said it takes her up to two years to prepare each performance, reading as many biographies and general history of the era as she can. She then delves into the primary source materials: the person’s own letters and autobiography.

“I write my own scripts and try to incorporate the woman’s own words if possible,” Goddard said. “I spend about six months memorizing and rehearsing the script and assembling the costume.”

But what Goddard finds most challenging is keeping up with the latest research and news about each woman for the question-and-answer session at the conclusion of the presentation.

Goddard always takes questions and can’t predict what questions people will ask, so she does her research right up to each performance.

For the costumes, she usually turns to either vintage clothing shops or has a seamstress create a custom costume for her – for example, Jackie Kennedy’s signature pink suit. Goddard actually sewed the Barton costume herself, using plain, dark fabric to hide the blood stains and dirt associated with working at a field hospital, and creating a long, floor- length skirt that actually drags on the ground.

“Women’s skirts in those days were

The presentation was the result of a joint program between the library and the Kaneville Historical Society. designed to be long enough to be worn over steel hoop skirts,” Goddard said.

“But hoop skirts were difficult to maneuver in a hospital, so most hospital workers just wore several petticoats underneath, and the skirt would drag a bit.”

Goddard said she loves that the skirt from her costume actually drags in an authentic way.

“This was the first time we offered this kind of event at the library,” Kaneville Library Director Lynda Fillipp – also an employee of Shaw Media – said. “We partnered with the Kaneville Historical Society to bring this free event to the community – a chance to step back into history with Leslie’s wonderful, realistic portrayal of Clara Barton.”

Fillipp said she was excited to see nearly 50 people at the event, and hopes that the Barton presentation is just the first of many programs hosted by the library.

“We think for the next event, we’ll have to move the program to the Kaneville Community Center gym so more people can attend,” she said.

“Moving the library outside of its four walls really excites me.”

Goddard said the Kaneville program was great.

“It was a good-sized audience, which allowed for me to develop a great discussion,” she said. “People were then more comfortable asking questions and sharing insights at the end.”

Yellow-bellied sapsuckers leave a distinctive sign; rows of shallow holes in tree bark. The birds consume the dripping sap, as well as insects that are drawn to it.

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto ton’s masterful description, these birds’ bellies were streaked and cream-colored, not overtly yellow. And they weren’t “suckin’ sap” – they were eating insects. So I had to look at other characteristics to help make the ID. Downy and hairy woodpeckers, two of our more common year-round species, have black and white coloration similar to the sapsuckers’, but sapsuckers have a distinctive white stripe along the length of their folded wings.

In addition, while male downies and hairies have a dash of red across the backs of their heads, sapsuckers have more red, and in more places.

Using binoculars, I was able to

see that one bird – the male – had red across the top of his head, an area called the crown, as well as a red patch on his throat. The female had a similar red cap but lacked the throat patch. Also, as is fitting of birds that “suck sap” for a living, both sexes sport a “bib” – a patch of dark feathers beneath their throats.

In the past when I’ve seen yellow-bellied sapsuckers in our area, I was able to go to the trees they’d visited and find their telltale marks: horizontal rows of shallow holes dripping watery sap. But these birds left no such sign. They seemed focused on the bark of the maples, oaks and hickories they visited, perhaps gleaning insects, spiders and other creepy crawlies from among the crevices.

They also seemed focused on each other. When one flew, the other followed, almost as if their movements

had been choreographed.

Usually such behavior means courtship, and maybe that was the case here. But yellow-bellied sapsuckers don’t breed in our area; they prefer forests to the west and north, with a range that extends through northern Canada and into Alaska.

I don’t know how long our local sapsuckers will stay, so be sure to remain extra vigilant this week if you want to try and spot one. When you see a woodpecker, look carefully at its coloring. And remember, it doesn’t have to have a yellow belly, or be suckin’ sap, to be a yellow-bellied sapsucker.

Springtime means – finally – warmer temperatures along with visits from a host of migrating birds, including yellow-bellied sapsuckers. Please enjoy this column, which first ran in April 2010.

My dad was a big fan of the 1950s sitcom “The Honeymooners.” (So big a fan, in fact, that when he began seeing my mom, he made it clear that their Saturday night dates wouldn’t begin until after the show was over.) It follows then that, by association – and maybe genetics – I too am a big “Honeymooners” fan.

Every episode was a classic. With plot lines involving the Raccoon Lodge, Chef of the Future, Kram-Mar’s Delicious Mystery Appetizer and Captain Video, how could you go wrong?

I could go on and on, but – lucky for you – just one scene in particular is on my mind at the moment. It’s the one where Ed Norton (“Norton!”) is telling his buddy Ralph Kramden about his birdwatching adventures. He mentions that he’d seen a yellow-bellied sapsucker in Central Park. Doubtful, Ralph asks Norton how he knew what it was, and Norton replies, “Cuz it had a yellow belly. And it was suckin’ sap!”

With that said – guess what kind of bird flew into town this week?

Sitting at my desk last Saturday at the Pottawatomie Community Center, I was looking out the window when I noticed a pair of very active birds hopping up the side of a Kentucky coffee tree.

The first thought to enter my head was the basic ID, “Woodpeckers.” Then, slowly, a second thought bubbled up: “Those aren’t just any woodpeckers. Those are sapsuckers!”

Could it be? Sure, yellow-bellied sapsuckers – members of the Picidae, or woodpecker family – are seen in our area as they migrate through. But it had been probably three years since I’d seen one. Nonetheless, there they were, a male and a female, flitting around Pottawatomie’s Native Plant Garden.

Despite their name, and Ed Nor-

Owner brings love of fashion and hair to new Geneva store

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com

Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com

Noodles and Co., Potbelly Sandwich Shop and ATI Physical Therapy are planned for the former TGI Fridays building, 3875 E. Main St., St. Charles.

Construction underway at old Fridays

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Efforts to turn a former restaurant into three separate spaces are underway on St. Charles’ east side.

Noodles and Co., Potbelly Sandwich Shop and ATI Physical Therapy plan to occupy the former TGI Fridays, which closed at 3875 E. Main St. in 2014 after nearly 12 years in business.

“It’s definitely nice to see a vacant space get repurposed and have national-name tenants in there, for sure,” said Matt O’Rourke, the city’s economic development division manager.

O’Rourke said he understands that the activity on the property is piquing the public’s interest.

According to city documents, the Glazier Corporation planned to replace windows with new door entrances, install fabric awnings, repair sidewalks and create an outdoor dining area.

“We look forward to providing a redevelopment that will have a positive impact on the community,” a project description from the Glazier Corporation states.

The work being done now addresses the building’s shell and involves splitting up one restaurant into multiple spaces, which includes an addition

for the third tenant on the building’s east side, O’Rourke said. He said a drive-thru is planned on that end.

Buildouts for each of the tenants will come later, he said.

Founded in 1995, Noodles and Company has more than 450 restaurants nationwide, including a store in Geneva. Its menu includes noodle dishes, sandwiches, soups and salads.

Potbelly is headquartered in Chicago, where it was founded in 1977. It has more than 300 shops, which serve made-to-order sandwiches served warm.

ATI Physical Therapy began in 1996 with a clinic in Willowbrook, and offers a variety of therapy services.

GENEVA – St. Charles resident Maria Kanakaris worked as a hairdresser for years, but she also wanted to own a retail store featuring stylish, chic clothing.

And now she and her partner, David Cane, also of St. Charles, have realized that dream, opening the Ivy Love Boutique, 123 W. State St., Geneva.

“It’s a men’s and w o m e n ’ s b o u t i q u e , ” Maria Kanakaris said. “Our Kanakaris clothing … is edgy and trendy. Our ages run from 20 up to 70.

We carry the latest brands, the hottest brands. We are not a bridal shop, not a consignment store.”

The store features clothing labels such as AG, Level99, Hudson, DL1961 and Buffalo, she said. Also available are shoes and accessories such as hats, purses, bags and hats.

“We try to make it where it’s convenient for moms,” she said. “Instead of going to the mall, they can find a lot of things here.”

Kanakaris said she still does hair in the Ivy Love Hair Boutique at the back of the store.

“I love hair and I love fashion,” Kanakaris said. “And I love dressing friends up and family. I just have the eye for it. … It’s like a one-stop-shop.

They get their hair done, get a cute top and off they go.”

The store has been open since Jan. 4, Kanakaris said. For information, call 630-208-1040 or find on Facebook.

es, lunch and dinner specials, will be located in the old Munchie P’s building on Main Street in Elburn.

Pitts said he wants to make the restaurant a nice place where people will feel comfortable bringing their children for a meal, where it’s a good spot for lunch, as well as a place to get take-out.

His lunch specials will include a slice of pizza and pop, and dinner will include meals such as ribs, coun-

try fried chicken and jumbo breaded shrimp, and several desserts. He also plans to feature a kids menu.

Pitts’ restaurant experience began when he was 14 years old, working for Ray Orlando’s Pizza in Geneva. After working for Rosati’s owners Jim Passo and Gino Caputi in Elburn, he followed them when they opened Pizza Cucina in Wasco. He also worked for Rosati’s in Arizona for a time, where he would stay two to three months at each restaurant,

training the owners and staff who were opening a Rosati’s Pizza.

Pitts was managing a Rosati’s in Hanover Park when he decided to try his hand at owning a restaurant. He is currently working on his menu and signage, as well as figuring out seating arrangements. He hopes to be open for business within the month.

“I’m going to try my hardest,” he said. “I want to get everybody to try me and see what happens.”

Karl “Kully” Madsen was born to Christian Knudsen and Mary Otilia Madsen (nee Hendrickson) on August 12, 1921. He died at Delnor Hospital on April 8th.

Following graduation from St. Charles High School, Kully served in Europe in the Army Air Force during World War II as a B-17 waist gunner in the 368th Bomb Squadron. Staff Sergeant Madsen flew the last of his 35 missions on his 23rd birthday, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, and was honorably discharged.

He returned to civilian life working with his dad in the family business, Madsen Dairy, delivering milk seven days a week.

It was at this time that he married Edith Dombrowski, who grew up next to the dairy in downtown St. Charles.

While at the dairy Kully joined the volunteer fire department in 1954. In 1959 he sold the dairy and became a full-time fireman.

While on duty one night in December of 1962, Kully, working alone at the station, responded to a report of someone struggling in the icy river above the dam.

A non-swimmer, Kully used a ladder to distribute his weight and inched out onto the ice for the rescue. The City awarded him a watch for his heroism.

In 1965 Kully won appointment as the city’s second full-time fire chief. Under his watch, the department established a model Fire Prevention Bureau, was the first department in the area to adopt the Opticom emergency vehicle traffic control system, and, for visibility reasons, painted the fire fleet lime-yellow.

Kully was instrumental in the formation of Tri-Com, the 911 dispatch center for the Tri-Cities. The Tri-Com facility is located in St. Charles on Karl Madsen Drive. After seventeen years as chief, he retired in 1982.

Kully was a member of the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars. He also served as a St. Charles Township trustee.

In retirement, Kully enjoyed family trips to Europe, Mexico, Hawaii, and the

Caribbean. He was a long-time season ticket holder for the Chicago Bears, and life-long White Sox fan.

He is survived by his wife of nearly 71 years, Edith; son ,Chris (Carla Jaffe); and daughter, Connie (Bill) Dallmann.

As Kully wished, there will be no services.

JOAN KNOWS Joan Arteberry called “the milk factory.”

Each day, farmers would bring the full milk cans to the conveyor belt and wait on the other side for the empty cans. Coming to town was a treat for farm boys who would count on a treat, such as an ice cream cone.

Downtown shopping was full of choices, I recall. Need shoes? Mack Brothers. Colson’s was the go-to store for women’s accessories. Grandma knew that nylon stockings were rarely available (nylon was needed for the war effort). The style in those days featured a black seam up the rear side (and an endless effort to keep the seam straight).

Grandma chose to buy her groceries at Haskin and DeBates. Right next door was Anderson’s, and Koch’s was across the street. “Super markets,” such as A&P, Kroger’s and National Tea, were on the horizon, but most folks went – out of loyalty – to Tony’s Market (favored by Steve and Selma Sharkin, my mother’s parents, who liked to chat with their Lithuanian friends, Tony and Helen Brazonis, and friendly butchers who produced just what they wanted).

Then they stopped at the Blue Goose for produce. Bakery? So many choices: Gartner’s, “that Swedish bakery,” and Kramford’s, grandma’s choice for raisin bread. I generally strayed to the other side of the store, where there were hobby items, such as model airplanes.

Back to grandma Arteberry’s

house. Each day had a chore, such as Monday – wash day. At the same time, there might be a special meal, such as the Friday fish fry. Wednesday was Chronicle day! Grandma’s strong will prevailed, and she got first chance. She always turned to “Table Clatter,” a column about local ladies and their social lives, written by her friend Lina Paschal (her family owned the paper at that time).

There was plenty to read about, despite the frugality of the war. Folks not only had obituaries but birth notices. Women’s groups, including church women, reported their activities and a special note about the tea – white gloves and dainty pastries and a record of who was honored to pour the tea.

Bowling leagues were publicized, along with the weekly scores.

Other local sports (was rolle bolle included?) found their way into print, as did local fraternal organizations, Moose, Masons etc.

Read all about it – city council, school activities, past events/coming events, who graduated, caught a big fish or got married, most with accompanying (keeper) photographs headed for a scrapbook.

In my look at those days, it seems as if each of us scanned the paper for our own name or a familiar name. In such a way, our community was the sum of it’s parts. Once a week it all came together.

CAMPUS NOTES Augustana College John Whitson, a vocal music education and composition major from Geneva, composed works that were performed at his senior recital March 16 in Wallenberg Hall.

Student recitals at Augustana College are a requirement for those pursuing a major in music performance.

William Woods University Lissy Wedell of Geneva attended the annual Missouri Collegiate DECA State Career Development Conference at Lodge of the Four Seasons, Lake Ozark, Missouri. Wedell was one of 18 William Woods University students who attended the conference.

During the conference, students compet-

University of Dayton Amanda Jolly of Saint Charles and Kaitlynrose Bicek of Batavia are part of a team of 22 University of Dayton students that received an outstanding delegation award during the recent National Model United Nations Conference in New York City.

These designations go to the top 10 percent of delegations at the conference,

according to Tony Talbott, University of Dayton Model United Nations club advisor.

The National Model United Nations Conference gives college students worldwide a better understanding of the United Nations’ inner workings, and prepares them to become global citizens and the next generation of international leaders.

Holmgren is a junior majoring in chemical engineering.

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com ELGIN – St. Charles North alumnus David Friedman is among 50 students named a 2016 Coca-Cola Community College Academic Team Bronze Scholar, according to a news release.

The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation sponsors the Coca-Cola Community College Academic Team Program by recognizing 50 Gold, 50 Silver and 50 Bronze scholars, and by providing nearly David $200,000 in scholarships Friedman annually. Each Bronze Scholar receives a $1,000 scholarship and a special medallion.

Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society administers the program.

Friedman, who is following the design engineer career path, has been an active member in Elgin Community College’s Rho Kappa Chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society, the release stated.

Amybeth Maurer, the director of orientation and student life at ECC, described Friedman as a “true intellect,” which is why he was nominated.

“He has the ability to make connections between classroom concepts and apply them to everyday life,” she said in the release. “He encourages deep discussion and dialogue among members of Phi Theta Kappa and inspires others to strive for academic excellence.”

According to the release, Friedman was to be recognized at Phi Theta Kappa’s convention last week in Maryland.

His selection as a Coca-Cola Bronze Scholar was based on scores he earned in the All-USA Community College Academic Team competition, the release stated. It indicated more than 1,900 applications were received this year.

Judges consider outstanding academic rigor, grade point average, academic and leadership awards, and engagement in college and community service when selecting members of the academic team, according to the release.

Another ECC student, Sarah Blanchard, was also nominated for the honor.

“I’m so proud to see both Sarah and David recognized for their dedication to their studies as well as to Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society,” Maurer said in the release.

• Thursday, April 14, 2016

When the Kane County Chronicle announced the change to a weekly publication, my mind was flooded with memories of another time when the weekly edition was eagerly anticipated.

Picture a mini me, not yet the ripe age to go to school, at grandma Grace Arteberry’s house. Together we explored story books and magazines, making things from grandpa Jim’s victory garden taste so good and watching her preserve the tomatoes into Mason jars and turning the grapes from the arbor into jam.

It was still war time, and families were trying to use their ration coupons carefully. Grandpa Jim kept the carefully polished Buick in the garage.

Occasional road trips were to Wheaton for popcorn and down to the park to watch the men’s softball league. The best part was the necessary stop at the Colonial dairy store for ice cream.

Grandma and I made the road trip on foot to go shopping in St. Charles. Their neighborhood was on East Main Street, beyond the train track for the Great Western Railroad.

Freight trains and passenger trains were a delight to watch.

Up the street was the Cunningham’s service station, and across the street was a Mobil station and The Alps, run by Mama Galkis, and the so-called industrial district composed of Roto-Color, U.S. Printing and Reasor MFG (my father and Irv Krieger worked there).

I was reminded by Albert Van Thournout that just down the hill behind the Mobil station, next to the train tracks, was what everyone

OUR VIEW

Cougars baseball is back This week’s forecast surely brought a smile to anyone seeking an escape to the outdoors.

Mercury readings in the 60s and above in mid-April? Make no mistake, that’s spring weather like it oughta be, even in these parts.

Still, a sizable segment of people ventured out even in the cold, damp conditions of the past week. These people are called Kane County Cougars fans, and one of them, Gretl Kramer of Elgin, came armed to the April 7 season opener with three rationalistic words: “It’s baseball, right?”

Indeed, it is. To be exact, this is the beginning of the 26th season of Class-A, Midwest League baseball in Geneva, and the second season of the Cougars’ two-year player-development contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

There are 70 regular season home games scheduled, and while the Cougars can’t guarantee seasonable temperatures every time out, they are committed to providing “Major League fun.” That’s the tagline on the team’s pocket schedules, which can be found at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark and at various locations around the Tri-Cities and Fox Valley.

After spending this weekend in the Quad Cities, the Cougars are set to return home for a seven-game homestand beginning April 18. The stretch includes the first Saturday and Sunday games of the season.

The first fireworks night is set for May 2 – a rite of passage of sorts for each season. But the Cougars’ brand of family-friendly, affordable entertainment will have been in session for nearly a month by then.

Take it from Kramer. The crack of the bat supersedes the sound of chattering teeth.

Baseball is back. Take advantage.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Yearning for youth despite perks of growing up Over spring break a few weeks ago, I spent a fair amount of time looking through the family photo albums that take up residence in my room. The pictures in these huge albums span all the way from my mom’s college years to circa 2008, when our digital camera became the primary method of capturing photographs. Many happy hours were spent cuddled up in my bed, going through hundreds of pictures and reliving memories from my childhood.

While some pictures may have been slightly more embarrassing than others (for instance, baby Emma putting her toes in her mouth), most of them brought back recollections of joy and contentment from when I was little. Images of awestruck 4-year-old me meeting Cinderella at Disney World, excited 8-year-old me holding my new baby sister and many more brought feelings of nostalgia for when I was younger.

There’s this strange phenomenon called “growing up,” and I’m not sure if I’m entirely a fan. This bizarre occurrence is characterized by increased levels of homework, decreased levels of sleep and – worst of all – the disappearance of recess and snack time from the school day.

Symptoms of those afflicted may con-

THE WRITE PLACE Emma Chrusciel sist of constant fatigue, being overscheduled with school and activities, and frequent complaints of longing to be a kid again.

Perhaps I’ve exaggerated a little bit, but not by much. I often find myself wishing I could go back to my childhood just so that I could appreciate everything I took for granted and experience the days of being carefree and innocent once more.

Let’s face it: When we were little, we probably didn’t realize how good we had it. My average day in elementary school usually consisted of watching TV in the morning, going to a relatively simple day of school, coming home to an after-school snack and playtime, then dinner and a bath before bed. Compared to nowadays, elementary school Emma was living the good life! Homework and grades were barely a thought; it seemed like everyone in class was my best friend; and I usually got a full night of sleep.

That’s not to say that being a high school sophomore doesn’t have its perks! Being able to drive, participate

in a variety of school activities and have greater responsibilities are all wonderful parts of getting older, and there’s still more to look forward to in the years ahead. But when I’m bogged down with homework, dealing with high school drama and staying up way too late studying, there’s a part of me that longs for the simplicity of my childhood.

As you’re probably aware, you can’t just hit the pause button on “growing up.” It’s going to happen whether I like it or not, and I’m going to have to adapt to the upcoming changes as part of my later teen and early adult years. Maybe that’s not such a bad thing, though. And even though little Emma may quite literally be a thing of the past, I know all the greatest parts of her will be carried with me into the future. As for right now, I’m doing my best to bloom where I’m planted, hopefully creating new memories (and taking new pictures!) for me to reflect on later.

SOUND OFF Ted Cruz It’s underhanded

So, Trump lost the election in Wisconsin to Ted Cruz, but did Ted Cruz really win? Or did the PACs win? I believe that the PACs have won, and Ted Cruz is nothing but a shield for the PACs, because we know he can’t win the election. And all of the Donald Trump naysayers want to “dump Trump” and go to a contested election, and the only way to do that is to ensure that Ted Cruz wins. But Ted Cruz has been in the Senate how many years? He has not done a darn thing. Neither has Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton, and Hillary Clinton’s been in Washington a whole lot longer than a lot of them. Don’t forget she was a Mrs. President – she was a wife of a president, and then she was secretary of state; she was a senator. What has she done? They say they’re gonna do all

I’m calling to say I’m wondering why we’re even voting in primaries as citizens.

[A] White House aide said there’s no way that Hillary Clinton isn’t going to be the delegate, isn’t going to be the nominee for president, even though I think there’s at least a third of the states to be voted in. And the Republicans are working very hard to keep Trump from being the nominee, although he has the most number of votes. So, why are we voting in primaries if the PACs and the political insiders are gonna decide who the presidential nominees are gonna be over the will of the voters and the citizens in America? I think there needs to be a revolution about the whole process about tax, about corporate greed and about the parties that ... just don’t even care about the citizens. They only care about their own party power.

Annual Knight of Performances dinner for Kaneland a success

Kiwanis serving up spaghetti dinner to raise funds for youth clubs

By STEPHANIE N. GRIMOLDBY editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – The Batavia Kiwanis Club gives back to the community – specifically children – throughout the year.

Now, it’s time to support the organization that supports the community’s youth.

The club’s 29th annual spaghetti dinner fundraiser will take place from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. April 21 at Riverview Banquets, 1117 N. Washington Ave., Batavia.

The all-you-can-eat dinner will include spaghetti, salad, bread and an ice cream dessert. It also will include a basket raffle and silent auction.

The Batavia Kiwanis group currently sponsors three youth clubs: the Key Club at Batavia High School; Builders Club at Rotolo Middle School; and K-Kids club at Hoover Wood Elementary School, said Janene Albrecht, president of the Batavia Kiwanis Club.

But the goal is to have K-Kids clubs at all six Batavia elementary schools within the next five years, she said.

“All levels [of Kiwanis] help teach leadership while doing service, so we try to work closely with those kids do-

Older adults, in particular, should take note if their central vision becomes blurry, hazy, or crooked. These are symptoms of “age-related macular degeneration” (AMD), which is the leading cause of legal blindness among seniors.

It is important to diagnose AMD in its early stages to prevent severe vision loss. This eye condition, which involves deterioration of the central portion of the retina (called the “macula”), takes two forms: “Dry” AMD is caused by the formation of waste products (“drusen”) underneath the retina that cause atrophy. The more serious “wet” AMD involves the formation of leaky abnormal blood vessels beneath the retina. Typically, AMD progresses from the dry to the wet form, but some patients present with wet AMD initially.

P.S. While anyone may develop either dry or wet AMD after about age 50, the average onset of wet AMD usually occurs in a person’s late 70s to early 80s.

GENEVA – A Geneva woman charged with conspiracy to commit murder in Canada is expected to stand trial in 2017.

Lindsay K. Souvannarath was 23 when she and then-20-yearold Randall Shepherd of Canada each were charged in 2015 with conspiracy to commit murder, conspiracy to Lindsay K. commit arson, conspir- Souvannarath acy to use weapons for a dangerous purpose and unlawfully conveying threats through social media.

Authorities have said they were involved in a foiled Valentine’s Day shooting plot targeting a Canadian shopping center.

Their trial is scheduled from May 15, 2017, to June 29, 2017, Chris Hansen, the Nova Scotia Public Prosecution Service communications director, wrote in an email.

About the charges Lindsay K. Souvannarath of Geneva is charged with conspiracy to commit murder, conspiracy to commit arson, conspiracy to use weapons for a dangerous purpose and unlawfully conveying threats through social media.

The trial will be in the Nova Scotia Supreme Court – the highest court where trials are held – and will be heard by a judge and 12-member jury.

Although Souvannarath and Shepherd will be tried together, they each have their own counsel.

Pre-trial motions are expected to be heard this fall, Hansen wrote.

Authorities have said a Crime Stoppers tip that originated in Canada suggested Souvannarath had access to firearms and intended to go to a public venue with the goal of opening fire to kill citizens before killing themselves.

Souvannarath was a member of Geneva High School’s Class of 2010.

BATAVIA – Six jump ropes lay on the ground before an excited group of five athletes. Hopping on two feet, the athletes jumped over each strand while receiving encouragement from the many volunteers nearby.

A sixth athlete sat in a nearby doorway, tears in her eyes. Volunteers encouraged her to try, but sometimes, Special Olympics athletes just have bad days.

The athletes are part of the track and field team with the Mid-Valley Special Education Cooperative at the Mades-Johnstone Center in St. Charles, and are preparing for the Areas 2 and 5 Spring Games, which will be May 1 at North Central College in Naperville.

“The most challenging thing is the communication. When you want them to do something and you know they can do it, but they shut down on you because they are having a bad day,” volunteer coach Sam Delmundo said.

“When you see them shut down over and over again, and then finally open up, it’s a really great moment.”

Delmundo is no stranger to the sport. A senior at Batavia High School, she competes in the long and triple jumps for the girls track and field program. But every Monday afternoon since Feb. 29, she has been one of more than 20 volunteer coaches preparing the athletes at Mid-Valley for the Spring Games.

“The most rewarding thing is seeing them do this, and see how much fun they have doing it,” she said.

Delmundo’s sister, Maxine, a sixth-grader, is one of eight Batavia students who joined the track and field team at Mid-Valley this spring.

Eight Batavia students are on the team, including Maxine, Paige Rippinger, Anna Kroger, Grace Lindenmeyer and Elita Cronin, all students at Rotolo Middle School; Ellison Kosky and Wyatt Stahl from J.B. Nelson Elementary School; while Eleanor Samsami attends H.C. Storm Elementary School. Last year, the team had five members, and has ballooned to 23 this spring. Athletes from Batavia, Geneva, St. Charles, Kaneland and Burlington Central school districts all are on the team.

“My sister has Down syndrome, and ever since I was 6, it’s been very big in the family because we’d always go back and forth to the hospital, meet all the kids there, and we did a lot of programs with the Ups for Downs, Gigi’s Playhouse and stuff like that,”

Students with area special education cooperative prepare for Spring Games

Anna Kroger (center), a sixth-grader at Rotolo Middle School in Batavia, and her teammates cheer during a training session at the Mades-Johnstone Center in St. Charles. Students from throughout the tri-cities are preparing for the May 1 Special Olympics at North Central College in Naperville.

Sam Delmundo said.

Maxine will compete in a running event and the tennis ball throw May 1. While she said her favorite event is the running event, she enjoys practice jumping into a series of hula hoops that were set up in another hallway of the Mid-Valley facility.

Sam Delmundo described Maxine as “very shy, but very developed,” and being a part of the team at Mid-Valley gives her sister a chance to use skills she has worked on.

“She’s able to talk better with people, using more developed sentences,” Sam Delmundo said. “It’s really nice because she’s able to communicate not only with the other kids but anyone.”

Batavia resident Diane Scheinpflug’s daughter, Elita, also will compete in both a running and throwing event at the May 1 meet but she likes the throwing events more after earning a silver medal last year through the Fox Valley Special Recreation Association. Diane and Elita have enjoyed the program and Mid-Valley more this season.

“This is more her age group and her peers, so that’s why they’re having so much fun, because they’re all

together. Mid-Valley opened it up to all the districts this year and all the girls in her class decided they were going to be on the team,” Scheinpflug said.

Eilta, a seventh grader at Rotolo Middle School, was the girl sitting in the doorway. By the end of practice she was still upset but had participated in some of the other event areas.

She sprinted, hand-in-hand, with a volunteer through the hallways of Mid-Valley.

“The social aspect for her is the biggest positive – to be on the team,” Diane Scheinpflug said. “A year ago, she wouldn’t have even done anything like this. This is just awesome for her.”

The athletes will compete in a wide variety of track and field events, runs ranging from 50m to 3200m, field events including a tennis ball or softball throw, standing or running long jump, and new this year: javelin. The meet also will have wheelchair and assisted races. Athletes that earn a gold medal at the May 1 meet will proceed to the state meet, held June 10-12 at Illinois State University in Normal, Ill. For head coach Paulette Ollie, in her 20th season coaching Special

Olympics, the event represents more than just an athletic opportunity.

“We all assume that our kids are going to get to go out, play sports, be out in the community and make new friends. With individuals with disabilities, that’s kind of taken away from them,” Ollie said. “This gives them a chance to work on their physical fitness, be involved life-long and make friends.”

The group provides a great community of support for the athletes and their families, even after their competition days are behind them.

“I love it. Some of my best friends I’ve met through Special Olympics,” Ollie said. “Watching the kids grow and change over the years – I still see some of the kids from 20 years ago.

When [a former athlete] passed away recently, there were a whole bunch of us at her wake. State [Special Olympic] people came, coaches came, families came. It’s another family, or an extended family.”

The meet on May 1 begins at 8 a.m. and is free to attend. The North Central College Stadium is located at 450 S Brainard St,, Naperville.

“It’s a very moving event,” Ollie said.

QUITE THE BALANCING ACT Kaneland’s Richtman competing in both track and soccer this spring

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com Becca Richtman balances a pair of conditioning-intensive sports as a Kaneland junior.

She relishes the experience so much she even sprints from girls track practice to girls soccer practice each weekday afternoon.

“It’s a lot of fun, and especially my teammates support me a lot, too, so that’s also really nice to have someone who has your back,” Richtman said.

Richtman competed only in track during the springs of her freshman and sophomore years at Kaneland. Her prep debut included an eighth-place finish at the IHSA Class 2A state meet as part of the Knights’ 4x200-meter relay.

Richtman also ran for the state-qualifying 4x800 relay as a freshman.

Soccer, a longtime passion, amounted solely to club involvement until this season. Because she plays up one year on her St. Charles-based Tri-Cities Soccer Association club team, Richtman quickly bonded with several members of the high school class of 2016, including Kaneland senior Kiandra Powell.

Powell’s friendly recruiting pushes for Richtman to join the Knights gained monumental steam last season.

Kaneland put together the best campaign in girls soccer program history, winning the school’s first regional and sectional titles en route to a Class 2A supersectional berth.

Richtman, a cross country athlete in the fall, suddenly was building her stamina for two spring sports.

“This was kind of my last chance to play with (the seniors) before they go to college. I had played with them almost my entire life, so that’s something that I definitely didn’t want to miss out on,” Richtman said. “And plus, with them doing so well last year, as well, I mean, why would you not want to be part of something like that? The opportunity was there, so I decided to go ahead and take it.”

That’s quite an assertive mindset, and it certainly shows whether Richtman makes her move on the track or the field. Still, her decision to juggle track and soccer did not come without consultation. Knights track coach Doug Ecker first gave his blessing, but not before stressing the importance of sensing “when your body’s hurting, when you have to take rest days and

Kaneland junior Becca Richtman (right) elected to play high school soccer this spring, adding to a busy slate that already included competing with the girls track team. stuff like that,” Richtman said.

Assistant girls track coach Keith Snyder, who supervises relays and sprints, praised Richtman’s winter work ethic. She not only aimed to excel in a new high school sports endeavor,

but was primed to bounce back from a sophomore track state series that wasn’t quite as sterling as her first.

So far, so good. Running at last month’s Illinois Prep Top Times Class 2A indoor meet at Illinois Wesleyan in

Bloomington, Richtman helped Kaneland to victory in the 4x800 (9:42.55) and 4x400 (4:01.37). The latter time marked a 2A meet record.

Goaltender Daniel Vladar, a thirdround selection of the Boston Bruins in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, made 23 saves to earn the victory.

The Steel opened a busy final weekend of 2015-16 with a 5-1 home victory against the Muskegon (Mich.) Lumberjacks. The game was Teacher Appreciation Night, which featured the Steel making a $500 donation for the Geneva Academic Foundation to be used toward a collegiate scholarship for a Geneva High School senior.

Continued from page 2 “Becca had a really good freshman year. She was a really good freshman,” Snyder said. “Last year, I mean, I think she’d be the first to admit wasn’t the best year for her. And I think she realized to utilize her talent, which she has a world, a ton of, that she had to work harder. And I think she worked so much harder in the offseason this year to prepare herself to even contemplate playing two sports, let alone being successful. And I think it shows on the track, at least for us.

“I can see the hard work being paid off in the offseason. She is just so much better than she was last year, and she’s shown the talent that she gave everybody a peek of when she was a freshman. So to come back and really work that hard after having a down year last year, that’s really cool for her to not give up and just say, I’m going show everybody up today. That’s pretty impressive.”

After their first seven games, the Kaneland girls soccer team stood at 5-2, with Richtman factoring predominantly into the fast start as a nimble outside midfielder.

Knights coach Scott Parillo knew of Richtman’s soccer background before this season but said “he didn’t go track her down or anything like that.”

Lately, Parillo finds physically keeping up with Richtman might not be in his best interests, anyway.

“I’d be tired, but I’m old,” he said.

“She can go run three or four miles with track, and then she comes over and runs another couple miles with us.”

Richtman, who is quick to note school “obviously comes before anything,” begins practice days with the

After about an hour, she hurries to the adjacent soccer fields performs her foot skill drills alone then joins the fray in time to scrimmage.

Before the spring season, Richtman analyzed both the track and soccer schedules and was happy to find only a few overlapping events. She keeps open communication with both coaches about any potential conflicts. On March 19, for instance, Parillo hardly

objected to Richtman running in the Northern Illinois Big 12 indoor track meet in Sterling. The soccer team’s opponent, Belvidere, was a nonconference foe.

Richtman’s younger brother, Matt, a Kaneland sophomore, finished in 18th place in a school-record 15:04 at the Class 2A boys cross country state meet in November. He, too, excelled at soccer before choosing cross country and track.

A few weeks before the high school state meet, Richtman’s younger sister, Rachel, won the Class 3A girls individual title at the Illinois Elementary School Association state meet by more than four seconds.

That’s a lot of running Richtmans, but it’s really nothing new.

Kane County Cougars mascot Ozzie T. Cougar signs a baseball hat for Josh Frieders, 8, of Geneva during Opening Day at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark in Geneva on April 7.

The Kane County Cougars opened their 26th season of Class A baseball in Geneva on April 7 as a crowd of 3,581 gathered to watch the team’s 2-1 loss to the Clinton (Iowa) LumberKings.

The game-time temperature was 40 degrees with persistent winds of 15 mph, but that cold, hard fact hardly deterred a group that was elated to see baseball back in town.

New-look mascot Ozzie T. Cougar and in-game emcee Sam Ostrowski were among those to greet them.

Six-tenths of a mile down Kirk Road, the Cougars’ new neighbors, the United States Hockey League’s Chicago Steel, closed their first season at Fox Valley Ice Arena this past weekend. The Steel relocated from Bensenville in August 2015 and completed the season with a 27-264-3 record for 61 points in 60 games.

Eager to continue building the club’s brand in the market, Steel President Dan Lehv said synergy opportunities are in the works with the Cougars, who extended an early welcome to the Steel. The Steel reciprocated, most recently April 8, when the team awarded free admission to any Cougars fan showing a ticket to that day’s baseball game that was postponed because of inclement weather.

An adjustment that sounds like an oxymoron is a new offensive dimension for Lauren Zick.

As a sophomore left fielder on the St. John’s softball team, Zick developed a hitting approach that maximized her skills. Being a left-handed hitter, Zick used her proximity to first base and blazing fast speed to become a prolific slapper.

With a slap swing designed to place hits in precarious locations for defenses, fielders had to rush to make a play to have any hope of an out at first base. But this spring, Zick has become more than just a slap hitter.

She said she’s started to “slap for power.”

The results have made the 2014 Kaneland graduate from Sugar Grove a hard out. She’s a dangerous hitter who earned a spot on the March 14 Big East Honor Roll after she hit .500 at the Hofstra Invitational. Zick hit safely in all four games, was 2 for 3 against Connecticut and was 2 for 2 in stolen base attempts.

“I’ve worked to expand my swing,” Zick said. “I can slap for power now. I can control where it goes and further exploit a defense.”

With a soft slap, Zick said she’s used an abbreviated follow-through.

It’s more of a finesse move at the point of contact. But when she swings away, the goal is to create more speed with the bat head as the barrel makes contact with the ball.

In the constant chess match that is softball, Zick’s ability to read a defense has led to a .276 batting average.

She enters the April 16 doubleheader at Providence with two doubles, a triple and six RBIs. St. John’s coach Amy Kvilhaug said Zick has a green light to run any time she’s on base.

The decision to give Zick freedom on the basepaths came when Kvilhaug noticed Zick was savvy enough to notice a slight shift in fielders’ positioning.

It’s a move that has paid off as Zick leads St. John’s with 15 steals in 16 attempts.

Kvilhaug first read about Zick after a regional combine report gushed about her “blazing speed,” which Zick cultivated during a successful girls track career at Kaneland.

“Speed doesn’t take any days off,” Kvilhaug said. “If Lauren hits it on the ground, she has a good chance to be on base. She’s so fast, fielders have to rush just to have a chance to get her out. Softball is such a fast-paced game.

Baseball: St. Charles East at Geneva, 4:30 p.m. April 14. The Saints and Vikings finish up their scheduled three-game, Upstate Eight Conference River Division series with a game at Geneva. Both teams have pitched extremely well this season and are hoping to get the bats going a bit more. Batavia-St. Charles East, three-game series, April 19 through April 21. Batavia will have just finished up an extended three-game UEC River series against St. Charles North because of inclement weather. Depending on how that series plays out, this could be a huge set for the Bulldogs in the River race. East has been solid on the mound and in the field so far but will need more production from the bats as the conference season gets into full swing.

Boys volleyball: St. Francis at St. Charles North, 6 p.m. April 18. North will have had a week off after a victory over St. Charles East. The North Stars’ Drew Lanz and Jackson Kolodziej poise problems for most opposing teams.

Girls soccer: St. Charles East at St. Charles North, 6:30 p.m. April 19. The Saints may come into this matchup unbeaten while North could have just one blemish on its record. Always an entertaining contest, this matchup finished in a 1-1 draw last season as the two teams finished as co-champions of the UEC River.

Softball: St. Charles North at St. Charles East, 4:30 p.m. April 20. This is always an intriguing game and likely could feature two of the better pitchers in the area in North’s Jillian Waslawski and Jordan Hall of the Saints. Hall will have a tall task of slowing down a potent North Stars lineup led by senior Amanda James.

Lauren Zick ‘a big deal’ for Red Storm

St. John’s sophomore left fielder Lauren Zick, a Kaneland product, was a first team allBig East softball selection in 2015 after batting .444 in conference games.

“We brought Lauren in to set the table and steal bases. Now she’s coming up in key situations to drive in runs. She comprehends what we are trying to do so well, has a strong desire to get better and when you mix into the pot that she’s very coachable, Lauren has been a big deal for us. She’s lived up to every bit of the expectations we had for her and then some.”

St. John’s (19-17, 3-5 Big East) has entered the final third of its schedule, and Zick is one of four players to start all 36 games for the Red Storm.

While Kvilhaug praised Zick’s work ethic, she also said the entire Red Storm lineup has practiced explo-

sive movements in their swings to improve their weight transfer. Even slappers work on swinging away, which has let Zick expand her craft in the batter’s box.

“We play some traditional style small-ball softball,” Zick said. “We want to exploit the other team’s weaknesses. We plan our attack based on their defense. That really fits my style. I like to play a short game. But in certain situations I can power it out there, too.”

KANE COUNTY PREPS ATHLETE OF THE WEEK CLAIRE RASMUSSEN St. Charles East Junior | Girls soccer Why Rasmussen was selected: Rasmussen scored two goals and provided an assist for the Saints in their 3-0 win over Geneva on April 9 to win the St. Charles East Augsburg-Drach Invite.

St. Charles East junior girls soccer player Claire Rasmussen ignited the Saints’ attack during a 3-0 victory against Geneva on April 9, scoring twice and adding an assist as East clinched a tournament championship in its own Augsburg-Drach Invite.

Rasmussen, the Kane County Chronicle-St. Charles Bank & Trust Athlete of the Week, touched base with Kane County Chronicle sports reporter Chris Casey to discuss the Saints’ 9-0 start to the season.

The following is an edited transcript: Why does this group work so well together?

We just trust each other. It’s kind of hard to explain, but we just know each

other’s tendencies and play off each other well.

Does it surprise you to hear you guys have scored 39 goals and have allowed zero through nine games?

It’s kind of crazy, but I mean it’s part of trusting each other. Defense is a team thing. It starts with [senior goalkeeper Allison Chesterfield], to the defenders, midfielders and even forwards, sometimes.

Talk about that defense. It’s a new group together, but seems to play well.

They’re fantastic. It all starts with them.

A lot of what they do gets overlooked and I really owe it all to them.

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF COMMUNITY BANKING!

The 2016 Kane County Cougars feature a wealth of pitching talent, one of several reasons catcher Luke Lowery is excited the Midwest League season began last week.

A 14th-round selection of the parent Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2015 Major League Baseball FirstYear Player Draft, Lowery played collegiately at East Carolina and was born in Richmond, Va. Speaking with Kane County Chronicle Sports Editor Kevin Druley for this edition of the Weekly Chit-chat, Lowery discussed his outlook for the season and his approach behind the plate. The following is an edited transcript: At which point in spring training were you working with the pitchers who’d eventually form the Kane County Cougars pitching staff?

Definitely every day. Catching their sides and bullpens, certain things like that. Then making time with [manager Mike Benjamin] and [coach Shawn Roof] … and they lined it up so we could catch them in games just to make an easier transition for when we got out here to Kane County.

What do you like about the staff overall?

Definitely we’ve got a lot of good guys that fill up the zone, you know, with Taylor Clarke, Alex Young, Carlos Hernandez, Justin Donatella and Junior Garcia. All those guys, they fill up the zone. For [fellow catchers] Matt Jones, Jose Queliz and I, it makes it really, really easy for us to catch and call a game knowing that guys are going to go out there and pound the zone.

Do you have any prior experience facing some of your now-teammates in college?

I actually got to face Alex Young in the summer, in the Cape Cod [Mass.] summer league. [Outfielder] Jason Morozowski, he went to Mount Olive [N.C.], which is about

Weekly

CHIT-CHAT LUKE LOWERY Kane County Cougars 45 minutes right down the road. … Other than that, you know, just playing with some of these guys last year after the draft, we had a really tight-knit team at [Rookie League] Missoula [Mont.].

How was it to play in Montana? Had you been to that part of the country to play ball?

Oh, no. Never. It was actually fun.

It was great weather all the time. Our coaching staff [which included former Cub Joe Mather as manager] … they did a great job out there, and we just had a really good group of guys out there as well.

Have you been catching since your days in developmental ball?

Yeah. When I was a little kid coming up, I was always a catcher. Then in college, you know, I played a variety of positions. I played catcher, first base. I played all left field my entire junior season. Didn’t catch at all. So last year was nice, and the Diamondbacks helped me out just getting back into things in instructional league and all that. So I feel pretty back to normal.

How much of it is like riding a bike?

You know, it’s tough. It’s working with the staff every day, you know.

You’ve got to know who’s coming out of the pen, who’s hot that day. With our staff, it’s just knowing what guys like to have called and just working with them. So, I mean, it’s not like riding a bike, but, you know, Queliz, Matt Jones and I are going to do our best to get it going.”

Ann Keen runs Spice House by day, is Shakespeare director by night

By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com

W

hen Ann Keen moved to St. Charles from the city of Chicago, she always wondered what would happen to her career in theatre.

After opening The Spice House in Geneva with her husband, John, the commuting got to be too hectic and they decided to move closer.

While simply reaching out to Donna Steel of Steel Beam Theatre in St. Charles for any director openings, Steel thought Ann’s voice was perfect for a role in an upcoming play and her theatre career was back.

Keen had previous acting experience at Polarity Ensemble Theatre in Evanston, which was the main company she worked with during her time living in the city.

Richard Engling, the artistic director at Polarity, has decided to step down after this year, but wanted Keen to come back and direct one final play. Through auditions and rehearsals, Keen is the director of Polarity’s spring play, doo-wop version of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

Since rehearsals began in March, Keen has worked at The Spice House during the day before driving to the city to work on her production Sunday through Thursday.

While trying to balance working at The Spice House, on “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and raising her two children, Alex, 10, and Ian, 8, Keen caught up with Kane County Chronicle reporter Chris Casey to talk about her balancing act.

Chris Casey: What has this whole experience been like for you?

Ann Keen: It’s been tricky, that’s for

sure. To top it off, we just got a dog, so it’s like I have a third child to look after. But I have to be ultra-organized.

Once you’re in production, you can work on a script all the time. I literally have to shut down my laptop so that my time spent with my children can be making muffins with them or doing their homework with them. I don’t get to see them at night, so I really have to hyper-schedule my time. It can definitely be challenging at times, but I’ve found that this is going to make me a better owner and parent because when you’re organized, everything is easier.

Casey: What is your typical day like when you have to work at The Spice House and head into the city?

Keen: I’m usually up to get the kids

to school – though my husband has taken that responsibility with me

Theater returns to Pheasant Run Resort Vero Voce shows set through June KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com

Ann Keen runs The Spice House in Geneva during the day before driving to Chicago for her work directing a production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” until about 4 p.m. when I have to head into the city so I can make it there by 6 p.m. I get to rehearsals around 6 p.m. or so, then have a break at 8 p.m., leave by 10 p.m. and am home by 11 p.m. at the latest. I forgot to eat lunch today, so that didn’t happen until around 3 p.m.

If you go n WHAT: “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” n WHEN: 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and

Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays from April 24 to May 22 n WHERE: The Greenhouse Theater Center, 2257 N. Lincoln Ave., Chicago n INFO: $25 for adults, $20 for seniors and $10 for students sleeping a little later – by 8 a.m., then try to head back to bed for a little bit and get to The Spice House by 10 or 10:30 a.m. My husband or our other partner, Kevin, will open The Spice House on those days and I will come in and look through orders. We just started our wedding favors, so with it being bridal season, that’s primarily what I work on during my three hours or so that I’m there. I usually leave by 1:30 or 2 p.m., and am with my kids

Casey: It sounds like quite a bit. Do you enjoy it?

Keen: I love it. I absolutely love

it. I’m also extremely excited for the production because for the first time, Polarity is going to offer a children’s matinee show (April 24). The show is so fun for all ages that when I brought my boys to the show the first time I did it in Aurora, they absolutely loved it. They wanted to meet the actors and now we’re putting on a show with milk and cookies for the children at intermission. I can’t wait.

Casey: Lastly, what was the reason you moved to St. Charles?

Keen: One, the commuting was too

much. But the main reason, which I think is the most important thing in running a business, is that we felt we had to get to know and live in our community. It’s essential. We love being around this community, and getting to know our customers has been one of the most enjoyable parts.

ST. CHARLES – Theatrical performances are returning to Pheasant Run Resort’s main stage with upcoming productions by the Vero Voce Theater and School of Performing Arts, according to a press release.

Vero Voce’s productions are scheduled through June, the release states. It indicated the shows will include two performances from its Young Performers Series and at least one by its main stage actors.

“We are happy to work with Vero Voce and appreciate the immense amount of talent and energy these performers will bring to both St. Charles and our theater,” Pheasant Run General Manager John Martin stated in the release.

Fox Valley Repertory, a nonprofit theater company, previously was in residence at the resort. It closed last fall after 11 years.

Dawn Brown, who co-owns Vero Voce with her husband, stated in the release that the Pheasant Run stage will provide her organization with bigger accommodations.

“Due to the success we’ve experienced over the past four years, we are excited to expand the theater into a larger space,” she stated in the release.

“We wrap up our 2015-2016 season with these three productions and a number of additional events in the planning stage, including a murder mystery, guest artists, a lunch-and-theater event and more.”

“The Outsiders” will kick off the Vero Voce run with performances scheduled for April 15 to 24.

The other productions are “Disney’s Mulan Jr.” from May 13 to 22; and “Next to Normal” from May 27 to June 12, according to the release.

New Water Street Studios display in Batavia features abstract paintings

By BEN DRAPER bdraper@shawmedia.com

Batavia artist Richard DeVeau will exhibit art at Water Street Studios through May 7, including this piece, entitled “Do You Think It Will Last?”

“Phase II” comes at a time in both artists’ careers and lives where they both see themselves moving into a new phase. It also represents a new direction for the gallery. Sherrell and DeVeau are part of the new Water Street Studios Artists Collective, which was formed in December.

“Steve and I are the founding members of the collective and were asked by the committee to show in April,” DeVeau said. “‘Phase II’ is both personal for Steve and me, and it is also a new phase for the gallery itself.”

In an artist collective, sometimes called a co-op, the group votes on upcoming shows, rather than a single

DeVeau is no stranger to an artist-driven gallery.

“I was part of the Kingston Gallery in Boston for about five years before moving [to Batavia],” DeVeau said. “We really gained a reputation for presenting some of the most cut-

ting-edge art in Boston.”

Artists interested in applying to join the cooperative should visit www.WaterStreetStudios.org.

In addition, on the second floor of Water Street Studios – in the Kane County Chronicle Gallery – artist Kenneth Benavides will show work that explores dichromatic and trichromatic (two- and three-color) viewer perception.

The “Phase II” exhibit at Water Street Studios in Batavia will be on display from 1 to 9 p.m. Fridays and from noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays until May 7. For more information, call 630-761-9977.

Sugar Grove library to host traveling puppet show

Kermit the Frog. Lamb Chop. You know them as the most popular puppets of all time.

The Melikin Puppets, based out of Bolingbrook, may not be as recognizable as those listed above, but they’ve toured the country from coast to coast, making plenty of new fans along the way. And their next stop is Sugar Grove.

“What we do is we take some popular fairy tales like ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ and ‘Chicken Little,’ and we inject some things into them,” said Mel Biske, who created the Melikin PupPhoto provided pets in 1967. “We rewrite them a bit and The Melikin Puppets will perform the show add some comedy and a little bit of an “Slightly Fractured Fairy Tales” at 11 a.m. unusual twist.”

That hobby blossomed into a profession, and for nearly 50 years, the Melikin Puppet Theatre has presented educational and entertaining programs for schools, children’s theaters and libraries.

The production features casts of original Melikin creations. All puppets are handmade using a poly-foam technique and are large, colorful and designed to portray specific characters.

“What we provide on stage for young

audiences is an introduction to live theater,” Biske said. “What we’ve seen for years now is a lot of principals and teachers have booked our shows, and it’s like a throwback for them because they remember seeing us when they were children and we came to their library or school.”

Following the program, children will have an opportunity to meet with some of the puppets and pose for pictures.

“We’ll bring a couple characters out from the show, and with the parents and kids we can pose for the kids and a little nonsense,” Biske said. “We always encourage the parents to attend with their children, especially for the pictures.”

The Melikin Puppets show is for all ages, and attendees will enjoy the show free of charge, thanks to a donation from an anonymous community member.

The program is sponsored by P.A.C.T. (Programs and Community Together).

BATAVIA – Two established artists have collaborated for Water Street Studios’ newest art exhibit, “Phase II,” which is now up in the studio’s main gallery.

The exhibit features abstract paintings by Batavia artist and Boston native Richard DeVeau, and Chicago artist Steve Sherrell.

DeVeau’s work explores color and texture with a narrative element that centers on the theme of family. One day while in his studio, DeVeau found inspiration from an unlikely source.

“I had [a] box of tissues that had a blue background and a bunch of birds on small wires. I took one of my previous … pieces and added the birds.

Once I added them to the glowing metallics ... it just popped. It was incredible,” he explained. “They almost began to talk to me. The thing that was coming out was like talking to children.”

DeVeau, a father of four, recently helped raise his grandson as well.

“Family is huge for me,” he said.

“It seems like I’ve always been a parent. So, the whole idea of family is close to my heart, and the birds [in the paintings] express themselves in that vein.”

Sherrell, a professor emeritus of art at Joliet Junior College, will present works that explore color in a playful way, while attempting to get to the heart of questions that matter in the 21st century.

LEARNING TO GROW Diana Stoll draws you to them. It may be their time of bloom that earns them a place on your must-have list. Do you yearn for a sea of blue that naturalizing scilla provides? Do garden bouquets of daffodils interplanted with grape hyacinths make your heart skip a beat?

Next, decide where pops of color would be most appreciated. Don’t forget views from indoors, too. With next spring’s panorama fresh in your mind, insert small wood stakes or plant markers labeled with the bulbs and where they will be planted. Don’t trust your memory. Make detailed notes or draw a small diagram. Once other plants have filled in garden beds, it may be difficult to remember, and you may find yourself on a treasure hunt for markers next fall.

When local garden centers tout the arrival of bulbs, grab those photos for inspiration and get out there and plant.

Next spring, your neighbors will be envious of your spring color.

Tulips are a spring favorite for many local gardeners. “Garden centers are filled with customers who want to purchase these [types of] beauties – in April and May – but these harbingers of spring are planted in fall,” writes columnist Diana Stoll.

Snowdrops offer the first glimpse of color to winter-weary landscapes.

Winter aconite follows in an explosion of golden yellow. Crocus in a variety of dazzling shades, swaths of blue scilla, pink or blue glory-of-the-snow, and grape hyacinths bloom one after the other in spring’s opening act. Tulips and daffodils are the star players of the season. Their spectacular, intensely colored flowers in any color imaginable leave no doubt that spring has arrived.

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t jump for joy when these bulbs trumpet the arrival of spring. Garden centers are filled with customers who want to purchase these beauties – in April and May – but these harbingers of spring are planted in fall.

If you are one of those lusting after the spring color in your neighbor’s landscape, pledge to plant bulbs this year. Begin by planning which types to plant. Take a walk around your neighborhood; visit public gardens; flip through the pages of garden magazines; and check out http://extension.illinois. edu/bulbs on the University of Illinois Extension website.

Pay close attention to the bulbs you admire most. Take notes and photos of favorites. It may be their color that

Restaurant reviews

Simply put, Haché Moderne Brasserie is a place that you want to be.

Haché, which opened last year, is nestled on the corner of State and 6th streets in downtown Geneva in the space formerly occupied by Urban Grille.

The French-influenced, farm-to-table, fine-dining establishment exudes Parisian and French country charm.

Candlelight, ornate chandeliers and urban lighting add a bit of romance to the space, while earthy tones and rustic elements are met with paisley-prints, azure accents and a splash of eclectic vintage charm.

The space is intimate, informal and inviting. A small outdoor patio flanks the front entrance and the foyer – decorated with hanging lanterns, ivy-laden walls and wooden benches – and serves as a portal to what will undoubtedly end up being a fabulous culinary experience.

From Buffalo Frog Legs and Chicken Liver Pate to Seared Chick-

en Roulade and Cassoulet, executive head chef Andrew Hoelscher gives traditional French favorites a modern twist.

The Batavia native’s kitchen credentials include the 4-Diamond-rated Herrington Inn and Spa in Geneva, the River North gastropub English, and the Nuevo Latino restaurant Coobah.

Hoelscher employs the farm-totable dining concept by using locally sourced vegetables from Heritage Prairie and Rustic Road farms in Elburn, as well as Windy Acres Farm in Geneva.

The restaurant’s selection of wine is displayed in a glass-encased wine cellar that flanks a swanky bar.

Specialty cocktails, such as the Sexy Farmer Bloody Mary, the Geneva Mule and the Pomm Pomm, all use Herrington Premium Vodka by Geneva-based Fox River Distilling Company.

My dining companion and I

visited Haché – as first-time visitors to the restaurant – on a Wednesday evening.

Haché has a nice wine menu, with multiple varietals by the glass and bottle. I was offered a sample of the popular Blue Rock Baby Blue Bordeaux Blend from Napa Valley, before settling on the fuller-bodied Avalon Cabernet Sauvignon, also from Napa. My dining companion ordered a glass of the Angeline pinot noir.

Upon hearing the list of specials, we decided to order the Seared Scallops special as an appetizer, which the chef was nice enough to split in half for us.

The delicately plated Seared Scallops came served on a bed of peas with ramps (wild onions), asparagus, lardons in sweet pea ragout with tomatoes and a lobster bisque drizzle.

I was completely wowed by this

Haché Modern Brasserie in Geneva featured the Seared Scallops as an evening special, which was split in half as an appetizer for the mystery diner and her dining companion.

Continued from page 10 dish.

The scallops were seared to a perfect golden-brown and melted in my mouth.

Haché’s menu also features seared scallops with curried cauliflower, smoked mandarin, coconut vinaigrette and pomegranate coulis.

The scallops were my favorite dish during the meal, but my dining companion loved the Michigan Lamb.

After a few bites, she declared to our waiter that it was the best lamb that she had ever tasted.

Cooked to perfection, the lamb came with a tandoori-spiked demi glaze with spicy yogurt over herbed polenta and root vegetables.

T

he Kaneland Community Fine Arts Festival takes place annually to celebrate art in many forms.

This year’s festival featured the works of artists from across Illinois who presented, sold and demonstrated their art during the festival.

Artwork from students across the Kaneland School District also was on display, showcasing everything from drawn pictures to photography and ceramics. “[The festival] really shows the creativity each student has, [as well as] the types of things going on in the art classrooms. It is more than just coloring,” said Sara Chumbley, whose son, first-grader Brayden, had artwork featured during the fest.

Some days, you just gotta get outta dodge. You know? Roll down the windows, turn up the radio and sing?

The day Holly and I headed to Matthiessen State Park for that hike, that’s what we did. Nothing on the radio was doing it for me, though. Moments like this one called for a specific vibe, and it was a particular Dixie Chicks’ tune I pined for. But I couldn’t find my CD. So I sang along with Holly to one of her tunes, instead.

Sometimes that’s OK. Other times, not so much.

“Hey. It’s a solo,” she said after a few bars. Nice. So, ya know, I amped it up a bit. “Aw, Mom, …. Mom, stop. If you’re gonna do this the whole way … .” I was planning on it, actually. “Mom, stop, or I’ll jump out of the car!” Well. My singing isn’t that bad, honest! But I get it.

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose Remember when you were a teenager and you heard your parents sing, particularly if they sang along to one of your faves? Wasn’t that weird? Didn’t it feel kinda strange? Like you’d oddly stumbled into a TMI moment? Gotten an unsolicited peek into their own tender feelings? Ick. Right? So not cool when you’re 15. And trapped in the car with your mother. Even weirder is suddenly finding yourself the mother in this awkward scenario.

Since Holly’s begun driving, though, an interesting thing has happened. Now

in my face, I had to push her arm out a few inches so that my 40-something eyes could make out the images on the screen, but I digress.)

That was a fun moment. Maybe not for the nurses and doctor who came into the room to periodically get a history and do their thing, as they had to compete with our silliness, but no matter. I’m good with that. Because as Katy Perry sings in her hit song “Hot N Cold,” “You’re in then you’re out. You’re up then you’re down.”

Gotta ride the wave with your teenagers and enjoy being “in,” whenever the mood strikes.

Those moments are fleeting.

HOROSCOPE

she yells at me if I happen to glance her way while she’s singing in the car – suddenly aware, perhaps, that I “see” her, defenseless, since she must keep her eyes on the road. “Mom!” I can’t win.

It’s not just my singing, or my watching her sing, that offends (or, you know, my chewing, sighing, etc.). No, dancing in my seat at red lights apparently is objectionable, too.

“Mom! Stop!” she said, laughing as we drove home from a doctor’s appointment in Winfield on a recent Wednesday.

So, you know, I threw in some new moves. Embarrassing moves, judging from her reaction. But not even an hour earlier she’d leaned against me in the exam room as we huddled over her cellphone and giggled about the silly memes her friends had posted online.

(Actually, every time she stuck the phone

18 Daily meds lower risk of gout attacks Dear Dr. K: I have had three attacks of gout in the past year. I never had it before.

Now my doctor wants me to take a medicine every day, even though I feel fine. Is this a good idea?

Dear Reader: Well, you have a kindred soul in Doctor K, since I also have developed gout in recent years.

The disease occurs when a natural chemical called uric acid finds its way into the joints that connect two bones.

All of us always have some amount of uric acid in our blood. In people with gout, the amount of uric acid usually is higher than normal.

An attack of gout can be quite painful.

Most of the time, it hits just one joint – often one of the big toes. However, it can be anywhere.

Sometimes gout hits multiple joints at the same time. My last attack hit multiple joints in my right foot and in my right index finger.

There are two types of treatment for gout.

To treat the pain of an acute attack, anti-inflammatory medicines are necessary. Several different kinds are used.

They quell the inflammation in the joint and ease the pain.

However, when people have repeated attacks, they also need to take a medicine that lowers the blood levels of uric acid.

I’ll bet that’s the treatment your doctor wants you to start. In the United States, the most commonly used medicine is allopurinol.

Lowering the blood levels of uric acid reduces the risk of future attacks of gout, although it does not completely eliminate it.

So, like many treatments, you’re taking a treatment not to relieve suffering

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff you currently have; instead, you’re taking a treatment to reduce your risk of future suffering.

It is easy to tell if the treatment is working: Checking levels of uric acid requires just a simple blood test. But the treatment will work only if you take it as prescribed, meaning every day.

The daily treatment may have one other important benefit in addition to reducing future attacks of gout. A recent study of over 40,000 people followed for nearly seven years identified a remarkable result.

The study compared people with gout who did not take uric acid-lowering treatment to people with gout who did.

People who did not take treatment had more than double the risk of dying from heart disease.

How could treatment for inflammation in the joints affect disease of the heart?

Atherosclerosis of the heart’s arteries is the greatest cause of premature death in developed nations.

It is made worse by inflammation.

And there is growing evidence that inflammation anywhere in the body can negatively affect the arteries of the heart (and brain).

So, should you take daily treatment to lower your uric acid? As I said, you and I are in the same boat. I decided to take the daily pill.

PUZZLE SOLUTION

CROSSWORD PUZZLE ANSWERS

Worries Dear Money Worries: If someone has to have

money worries, yours are the nicest kind to have. It would be interesting to know how many successful people share your feelings, because I suspect that you are far from alone in experiencing them. (A psychiatrist once told me that many of her successful patients feel like frauds despite their considerable accomplishments.) A licensed mental health professional can help you to get past these feelings before they cause your daughter to be isolated, and I think the money would be well spent.

Dear Abby: I am raising two of my grandchildren because their parents can’t take care of them. The kids are still learning acceptable behavior because they were never taught.

I’ll give you an example of something that happens often: I was paying for an item at a store and my granddaughter sneaked behind the counter and reached into the display case.

Cupcakes were involved. The saleslady asked her to stop. I immediately got ahold of my wayward offender, glued her to my side until I was finished and then made her apologize.

The problem was, the saleslady immediately said, “Oh, it’s OK.” I then had to ask the saleslady to please NOT tell my granddaughter that it was OK, but instead to accept my granddaughter’s apology, because my granddaughter really would think it WAS OK. Your thoughts? – Raising Grandkids Dear Raising: I think the salesperson was simply being polite and professional, and that those children are lucky to have such a caring grandmother watching out for them.

Dr. Wallace: Please print my letter. I’m sure many do not understand that teens have a very high suicide rate because of depression.

I nearly lost my own 14-yearold daughter to suicide a couple of years ago. At the time I thought it was part of “adolescence” for teens to withdraw from their parents so they could be more independent. I thought everything was fine until she ran away.

After the turmoil of that experience there were three more suicide attempts (two in one night) and she required two stays at a pediatric psychiatric facility.

It was a real “wake-up” call and we became aware of the fact that adolescent depression is not as rare as one would think.

Now I want to urge teens to speak to their parents if they are feeling even a little depressed, or if they think their emotions are just a little out of control, or if they just feel very sad.

If their parents don’t take this seriously or think they are just trying to get attention, the teen should go to a school counselor, relative or close family friend and keep talking until someone offers some help.

The teen should not just sit around thinking it will pass, because he or she will not start feeling better without some professional help.

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace My daughter was suffering from biological depression and she was treated with intensive therapy, including family therapy and medication. She finished therapy and was taken off medication this past February. Thankfully, she is now back to her old self.

Please help spread the word and urge your teen readers to seek help when they are feeling depressed. – Mother, Providence,

R.I.

Mother: The teenage years are fraught with change and disappointment and can be extremely difficult. All teens go through dizzying highs and lows as they make the transition to adulthood.

Unfortunately, many get overwhelmed by the lows and become depressed, and some of them contemplate suicide. Indeed, teenagers have one of the highest rates of suicide of any age group.

Thanks for taking the time to reach out to our young readers and their parents on this urgent topic. And congratulations to you for rescuing your daughter!

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 20-year-old young lady who plans to marry her 20-year-old fiance this summer. We plan to have chil-

dren, but I’m concerned about them being healthy and normal.

When I was 15, I started drinking heavily and really got into drugs.

I smoked pot every day and took speed and acid every weekend.

I stopped all of this foolishness when I turned 18, but I’ve heard LSD and pot have lingering bad effects.

I’ve worked hard to turn my life around, and I’m horrified to think the mistakes I made could prevent me from having a normal baby. My fiance is understanding and has even suggested using a surrogate mother, but I don’t like that idea.

I used to think getting high was the greatest thrill on earth; now I’m heartbroken to think what drugs and alcohol have done to me. Please tell me if it’s possible for me to have a normal baby.

– Nameless, Sulphur, La. Nameless: The greatest danger of having a deformed baby (physically and/or mentally) is when the mother drinks alcohol or takes drugs WHILE she’s pregnant.

I suggest that you and your fiance speak to a physician who will answer all your questions.

Your chances of having a healthy baby seem to be good since you have been straight for two years.

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY I’m a 29-yearold self-made Jeanne millionaire who Phillips has spent the last decade saving and investing my middle-class income. I grew up dirt poor, so at 18 I left home with $5, went straight to work and never looked back.

Recently, I’ve realized that I struggle to make friends for fear they’ll find out about my financial situation. Those who know only want to talk about money or treat me differently. Most of my peers are broke and it makes me feel guilty. Those with high incomes blow their money on fancy dinners and luxury vehicles. I’m just a working-class woman who likes driving my 10-year-old car, and I don’t feel like I fit in with anyone. In fact, I’m developing an anxiety.

A few months ago I went to the bank to deposit a large sum of money and was mortified to see that the bank teller was a friend of the family. I have gone to the extreme of lying about owning homes and going on vacations, and it’s making me crazy.

Arthur Darvill and Brandon Routh star.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Bones The medical-mystery series resumes its 11th season — its next-to-last one — with the new episode “The Death in the Defense,” which catches up with Hodgins (TJ Thyne) as he continues to deal with his new physical condition.

The losers get to sort recyclables. The dinner service features this show’s sous chefs among the guests, along with MMA veteran and actor Randy Couture and “Sleepy Hollow” actor Neil Jackson. Gordon Ramsay is the host.

9 p.m. on + WTTW Jazz A very specific part of the title genre is the focus of “Swing: Pure Pleasure,” as the encore of Ken Burns’ 2001 documentary series continues by showcasing the big-band music that made legends of such conductors as Benny Goodman. However, its popularity wasn’t unanimous among listeners — some of whom actively lobbied to keep what then were the traditions of jazz in place. The career of one of the form’s most iconic artists, Billie Holiday, also is considered.

SATURDAY

SUNDAY

12 p.m. on @ WFLD NASCAR Racing Talk to any Sprint Cup driver and they’ll tell you that running on short tracks such as the site of today’s Food City 500, Bristol Motor Speedway, is the fun part of the job.

Matt Kenseth won this race in overtime a year ago.

6 p.m. on @ WFLD Bordertown Gert (voice of Missi Pyle) has a health crisis — described by the title of the new episode “Heart Attack” — as she suffers it at an especially inopportune time, during the Little Miss Mexifornia Pageant. The cost of treatment in America proves prohibitive, so Bud (voice of Hank Azaria) takes her to Mexico for it. Pepito (voice of Jacqueline Pinol) also has medical needs, but what he takes for them has side effects that aren’t very appealing to others.

6:30 p.m. on @ WFLD Cooper Barrett’s Guide to Surviving Life Cooper and Josh (Jack Cutmore-Scott, Justin Bartha) try to clean up their acts when their mother and father (guest stars Jane Kaczmarek and Alan Ruck) come to town in the new episode “How to Survive Your Parents’ Visit.” However, Dad is the one whose behavior may prove most problematic — and it comes to involve rap star Juicy J (guest starring as himself). Neal’s (Charlie Saxton) devotion to something takes Barry (James Earl) to try to help him break the habit.

7 p.m. on % WMAQ Little Big Shots Billy Joel generally may be known as the “Piano Man,” but he might get competition from someone in this new episode — namely, a 9-year-old who’s quite proficient with the 88 keys. He’s one of the youngsters who amuses and dazzles host Steve Harvey here, with another proving quite skilled musically: a jazz singer who hails from Norway. A 6-year-old dancer who generated a stir on the Internet also is featured.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Once Upon a Time Elements of “The Wizard of Oz” factor into a new episode appropriately titled “Ruby Slippers,” directed by Eriq La Salle (“ER”). Guest star Teri Reeves plays Dorothy, who vanishes after meeting Ruby and Mulan (guest stars Meghan Ory and Jamie Chung) — possibly due to Zelena’s (Rebecca Mader) return to Oz. Emma, Regina and Snow White (Jennifer Morrison, Lana Parrilla, Ginnifer Goodwin) join in the search for Dorothy. Emma Caulfield also guest stars.

7 p.m. on + WTTW Call the Midwife Typhoid fever strikes Nonnatus House in a number of ways, in the new “Episode 3” of Season 5.

8 p.m. on + WTTW Masterpiece Mystery!

The title is “Grantchester,” not “The Exorcist,” but it may as well be in the second season’s new “Episode Four.” Sidney (James Norton) has to perform such a rite to get to the bottom of what appears to have been a suicide. Matters take a strange turn when the husband of the late woman is found deceased by similar means. Amanda (Morven Christie) continues to have problems with her brutish husband (Tom Austen). Robson Green also stars.

8 p.m. on @ WFLD Family Guy A new job at the post office, to supplement the cost of Stewie’s (voice of Seth MacFarlane) private schooling, gives Lois (voice of Alex Borstein) a special delivery of her own in the new episode “Take a Letter.” She discovers a message Peter (also voiced by MacFarlane) never sent to a romantic interest (voice of guest star Kathryn Hahn) he had before he wed Lois. The old flame then tries to derail the Griffins’ marriage. Seth Green also is in the voice cast.

8:01 p.m. on % WMAQ Crowded How good a counselor is Martina (Carrie Preston)? One of her patients, played by the one and only Betty White, insists on making herself at home — in Carrie’s home — in the new episode “The Fixer.” She’s quickly accepted as a household member and a source of counsel herself.

The story reunites White with one of her “Hot in Cleveland” comrades, fellow guest star Jane Leeves. Patrick Warburton also stars. Another new episode follows.

8:30 p.m. on @ WFLD The Last Man on Earth An outbreak of pranks, meant to disrupt the boredom Tandy aka Phil (Will Forte) feels from nothing else going on, comes to involve all the survivors in the new episode “Fourth Finger.” In the midst of the zaniness, Todd (Mel Rodriguez) cements a new role for himself within the group.
