ST. CHARLES
Driver of fiery van charged with DUI By ASHLEY RHODEBECK arhodebeck@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – A West Chicago man faces drunken driving charges after St. Charles police found him standing beside a flaming van early Monday, according to a St. Charles Police Department report. Jose V. Gaytan-Hernandez, 34, of the 1200 block of Kings Cross, was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, driving with a blood-alcohol content of more than .08 percent, driving with a revoked license and obstructing police for reportedly providing false information. Police responded to the in-
tersection of West Main and 13th streets at about 3:13 a.m. Monday for a reported car on fire. A “trail of flaming dollops of material” extended from South 13th Street onto West Main Street to a 1998 Dodge Caravan “that was flamJose V. ing from under the hood just Gaytan-Herwest of that in- nandez tersection,” according to the report. Gaytan-Hernandez, who stood near the van, reportedly told police nobody was inside and repeatedly denied driving the vehicle. A witness told po-
lice Gaytan-Hernandez exited the van, police reported. Police reported Gaytan-Hernandez smelled of alcohol, slurred his words, had glassy eyes and had difficulty providing identifying information, including his birthdate and phone number. His blood-alcohol content was 0.204 percent, more than twice the legal limit of 0.08 percent, according to the report. Police found identification on Gaytan-Hernandez’s person and learned he was wanted on a Kane County warrant, police reported. He was taken to the Kane County Sheriff’s Department after posting $300 for the St. Charles charges, according to the report.

GENEVA – Delnor nurses and physicians now have a new high-tech way to train. The new Kay L. and Earl K. Harbaugh Clinical Simulation Lab will open Monday on the Delnor Hospital campus at 300 Randall Road, Geneva. The lab features high-tech manikins programmed to display thousands of lifelike symptoms – including bleeding and sweating – and respond to medical intervention as a human patient would. “We’re trying to replicate real life as much as we can,” said Michelle Olech, administrator of clinical simulation for Cadence Health. She manages the simulation labs at Delnor and Central DuPage Hospital. For example, the baby manikin can cry and coo, and the adult manikins are programmed to speak. “Essentially, anything that a baby can do, we can do here,” Olech said. “We can do any intervention that we would do for a real baby.” Lore Bogolin, Delnor’s chief nursing officer and vice president of patient care, said the fact the manikins can speak is helpful in training exercises. “They can talk back to us to give us feedback. It doesn’t get

In 2007, Delnor Hospital honored her with its Bartel Leadership Excellence Award. “This is about better care, increasing the level of care,” Earl Harbaugh said. “This is our community. It’s our hospital system.” Kari Frieders, clinical nurse specialist at Delnor, was among those participating in the recent lab exercise, which involved one of the manikins being admitted to the hospital for a femur fracture and then becoming unresponsive. Frieders and the other staff members were able to resuscitate the manikin, who in this scenario, was a 78-year-old man. “It feels very real,” Frieders said. “You really get the feel of the experience. That’s what we want. We want the learner to feel the experience

OPINIONS ANOTHER VIEW
Google Glass – an alarming, exhilarating vision of the future BLOOMBERG NEWS Google Glass is a computer that can be worn like a pair of spectacles, with a small screen above one eye. It can record video, audio and location data. It can connect wirelessly to a smartphone, so you can send text messages, check email, make phone calls and use maps without reaching into your pocket. Glass is just the latest experiment in the burgeoning field of “wearable computing,” which could be worth $6 billion by 2016 and also includes such things as Apple’s coming “iWatch.” In many ways, these technological advances are exhilarating. A few scarier uses also are becoming clear; however, and if Google and other technology companies won’t confront them directly, the government will have to. One concern is that recording other people will probably get easier. There are plenty of spaces where furtive filming and recording would be unsettling. Never mind the bar or gym; as the Electronic Privacy Information Center notes, Google Glass “gives stalkers, harassers, and creeps the ability to take invasive photos of women in public without their knowledge.” New technology has a way of raising new questions – or giving old ones new urgency. Unlike cameras, for example, which must be raised and pointed, Glass may allow users to take photos merely by winking. No wonder bars, casinos and strips clubs are preemptively banning the devices. Google will need to make it extremely obvious when someone is filming or recording. Even so, what’s to prevent a hacker from getting around such safeguards? More worryingly, what about all that data you’ll be generating – all that audio and video of yourself and others – which will be stored on Goo-
gle’s cloud servers? How will Google protect it? Most disconcerting is the potentially sinister nexus of cloud data, social networks and facial-recognition technology. A company called Lambda Labs Inc. recently announced that it was offering a service to help developers build a facial-recognition app for Glass. Imagine, someday soon, a Glass wearer able to call up the Facebook and LinkedIn profile of everyone he sees on a bus, or starts a conversation with, simply by looking at them. It isn’t hard to foresee how this power could be abused. Just ask Eric Schmidt, Google’s executive chairman. At various times, Schmidt has called facial-recognition technology something people could use in “a very, very bad way.” With such worries no doubt in mind, Google announced last week that it won’t be approving facial-recognition apps for Glass “at this time.” Maybe the federal government needs to be more assertive in this realm. The Congressional Bi-Partisan Privacy Caucus has already sent a letter to Google asking some pointed questions about Glass, a good start. The Electronic Privacy Information Center recommends a temporary moratorium on facial-recognition technology, which is also wise. The larger question Glass raises is how to protect privacy in the age of wearable computing – and do so without unduly burdening legitimate innovators. The Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights proposed by President Barack Obama’s administration takes a big step in the right direction. It would start giving consumers a lot more control over the data that is collected about them, and require much more transparency from companies that trade in personal information. If the White House is serious about protecting privacy, it should submit this bill to Congress as a legislative proposal.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A lesson in civic education To the Editor: We should thank the Kane County state’s attorney, the West Aurora School District 129 Board and school officials of the West Aurora schools for their recent lesson in civic education. You can violate the law and school policy and procedures; make no comments as to any fault; not be named for any wrongdoing; and have the top law enforcement officer of the county just send you to school to remind you of the job you should have done in the first place. This is good news for students and parents, as apparently you will no longer be held responsible if you are late for school, fail to call the attendance office or other infractions. The example they just set speaks volumes as to the lofty regard these highly-educated individuals have for your regard to safely operate

the schools. What a relief for West Aurora school officials – you get to keep your jobs, avoid prosecution and continue your careers without fear that your highly-compensated salaries, benefits and pensions will be affected. Reading should also improve now that the state’s attorney is sending you back to school. Maybe now you will be able to read and understand documents about upholding the law and protecting the children in the district. Or, if they have the courage, these officials should acknowledge their failures and take some responsibility. But that would be asking too much, as they have too much to lose, like the confidence of the citizens who support the schools. Better to say and do nothing. Lesson learned. Dan Hoefler Batavia

By NICOLE WESKERNA nweskerna@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Starting Monday, media outlets can request to bring a camera into 16th Judicial Circuit courtrooms – a move that Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon said he supports. The Illinois Supreme Court filed an order May 21 to permit extended media coverage in the 16th Judicial Circuit. McMahon said Tuesday that having cameras in courtrooms during court proceedings “will be successful
“I have some concerns about it having a chilling effect on witnesses’ and victims’ eagerness about appearing in court, but it’s outweighed by giving access to this in the courtroom.” Joe McMahon Kane County State’s Attorney here” in Kane County. “I have some concerns about it having a chilling effect on witnesses’ and victims’ eagerness about appearing in court, but it’s outweighed by giving access to this in the courtroom,” he said. McMahon noted that the
judicial system has a long tradition of having public trials, but said it’s not always easy for people to physically be in court to watch the proceedings. He said allowing cameras will give the public greater access to the court systems. McMahon said there are several exceptions that re-
strict reporters from filming or photographing certain people, such as sexual abuse victims, unless the victim consents. A media coordinator will work with a designated judiciary media point person to file requests for certain trials.
McMahon said another challenge to allowing cameras in the courtroom are the technical requirements some crews might need that the judicial center may not be equipped for. No media outlets have requested extended coverage of any trials yet, he said. When asked whether he thinks cameras in courtrooms might jeopardize a fair trail, McMahon said the rules in place allow trial judges to maintain control of the courtroom. “I think those issues will work through,” he said.

Council OKs sale of guns By ASHLEY RHODEBECK arhodebeck@shawmedia.com ST.

Bessner said he understood both sides. “I’m on the fence with this,” Bessner said before voting. He noted the financial benefits and the city’s Sustainability Initiative, which was created in 2010 in response to ongoing fiscal challenges. The police department expects to receive nearly $6,000 for the surplus property, which includes 15 firearms acquired by such means as court orders and four weapons the police department no longer
has use for, Chief Jim Lamkin said. He said the buyers – Streicher’s and Alpha Armament Co. – will pay the city with credits to Streicher’s rather than with cash. The SWAT weapons sold to Streicher’s will be used for parts for law enforcement purposes, police have said. The weapons sold to Alpha Armament aren’t suitable for law-enforcement use, police have said, and the dealer then will sell those weapons. Two firearms, an Intra-Tec 9 and an UZI pistol, will be destroyed – an option the police department felt more comfortable with from a law enforcement standpoint, Lamkin said.

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD ATHLETE OF THE YEAR
Williams excelling in athletics, music, academics By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com Three freshmen teammates once told St. Charles East senior sprinter Britney Williams they thought she’d be more intimidating. Williams still finds the exchange hilarious. She’d love to talk to anyone as long as it’s not before a big race or performance. Also an accomplished violist, Williams found a new kind of harmony in her final season, setting unofficial standards for casual conversations while establishing several on-track records during the Saints’ banner season. The Kane County Chronicle Girls Track and Field Athlete of the Year was personable when she earned the same nod as a junior and throughout her career. This spring, she wanted to be more. “As I got older, I realized you’re with these people all the time,” Williams said. “You should get to know everybody, not just a small group of people you work out with every day.” Williams, bound for Iowa State on a full academic scholarship – she’ll walk on to the women’s track team – leaves a traditionally strong program with plenty of talking points. She holds five school records as either an individual or relay member, including the 100 meters (12.03), 200 (25.74), 4x100 (48.24), 4x400 (3:50.07) and 4x800 (9:20.13). The 4x400 standard came in the final race of Williams’ career, at the 3A state meet at Eastern Illinois. She completed the anchor leg after Elizabeth Chmelik, Jordan Shead and Allison Chmelik exchanged the baton ahead of Williams, who held off Belleville West’s Ni’Jia McNamee to win the state

St. Charles East senior Britney Williams is bound for Iowa State on a full academic scholarship and will try to walk on to the women’s track team. She is the Kane County Chronicle Girls Track and Field Athlete of the Year. title by 12 hundreths of a second. East finished eighth in the team race on the strength of a handful of multiple medalists. Williams was one of them, taking seventh in the 400, three spots behind Shead, a junior and close friend. “Britney carried the girls and really got them focused in on doing the job,” Saints coach Tim Wolf said. “Some of the best things happened in track at St. Charles East
that ever happened this season. She definitely had a leading role in that.” Williams shrugs her shoulders and admits she knows no other way than to be active. “She’s always been a really strong and a really good leader on the team,” Shead said. “She always tries to make sure we all are comfortable and we all are doing our best.” Apart from the late summer/early fall stretch of her
sophomore year that saw her sidelined with a right foot fracture, Williams has devoted herself to balancing training with music and academics. Williams graduated with a 5.46 grade-point average on a 5.0 scale, ranking 32nd in a class of more than 500. For a time this spring, Wolf added Williams and Shead to the the 4x800 lineup on a whim. The pair was part of a county-record run in that event at the April 26 Kane County Meet. Later in the night, Williams ran the anchor for the 4x400 that set a county standard with a time of 3:59.89. Three weeks later, the 4x400 was more than nine seconds faster at state, one of many breakthrough performances for the team. “All of the hard work that we put in all season just came together beautifully,” Williams said. “I always say this, but I’m just so proud of everyone and amazed at what we did. You go into the season and expect great things and you don’t necessarily think state champion or all the relays make it to state. You just think positive. “So I didn’t really have a specific goal. So to do what we did is just amazing.” Once a teammate of Shead’s with the Aurora Flyers track club during the summer, Williams elected to train on her own this summer as she adds a new activity to the mix. She’s working a summer job at Otter Cove Aquatic Park in St. Charles, where a few people are liable to recognize Williams. Fine by her. “She knows how to rally kids. She knows how to pick up kids,” Wolf said. “She’s involved in all other aspects of track and field, not just herself. She’s really connected to everything.”

ST. CHARLES EAST BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL AT STATE
No buses, no problem
SOFTBALL Friday’s semifinals at EastSide Centre in East Peoria St. Charles East vs. Barrington, 3 p.m. York vs. Minooka, 5:30 p.m. Saturday Third-place game, 3 p.m. Championship game, 5:30 p.m.
for well-traveled Saints fans By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com St. Charles East athletic director Mike Sommerfeld plans to see as many innings of the Saints’ 4A softball and baseball state semifinals as he can on Friday. A 3 p.m. softball game in East Peoria and a 5 p.m. baseball game in Joliet calls for a tough task, if not a lead foot. “Burn up the interstate back to try to catch the end of the baseball game,” Sommerfeld said. “Kind of crazy, but it’s a great problem to have.” Regardless of how either East team fares Friday, a similar conflict will be in place Saturday, as both sports play third-place and championship games in the same approximate late-afternoon time slots. While Sommerfeld and other East officials expect plenty of
orange and black-clad supporters in transit from both tournaments, the school is not reserving fan buses. “We’ve been traveling well,” Sommerfeld said. “We tried that earlier in the year, and kids just wanted to drive.” Joliet’s relative proximity to St. Charles in comparison to Peoria figures to put a few more fans at baseball, Sommerfeld said, but he doesn’t think the softball team will feel like it’s playing in a chapel. Sommerfeld said both “tremendous” fan bases responded well to moderate road trips for Monday’s supersectional, with softball playing in Rosemont and baseball punching its ticket to state from Loves Park, outside Rockford.

The Saints won 6-3. that, enjoyed recent banter with several longtime Saints coaches about the last time the school faced this kind of predicament. There’s a large banner saluting it near the main lobby entrance to the Saints’ gym. In the 1998-99 school year, thenSt. Charles High captured state championships in seven sports – boys golf, girls cross country,
girls swimming, drill team, boys swimming, girls soccer and baseball. “It’s just been awesome,” Sommerfeld said. “The whole year has been awesome. “We’re just real excited and hoping to bring home two state championships.” That would cut down on traffic snares considerably.

Options are crystallizing for SCC schools Likely offers from the Chicago Catholic League and East Suburban Catholic Conference are on the table, but Marmion, Rosary, St. Francis, Aurora Christian and the other remaining Suburban Christian Conference schools aren’t convinced a move that drastic will be necessary. Those schools, plus Marian Central and Montini, are exploring their options for the 2014-15 school year and beyond after seven current SCC members announced on May 2 that they will join the Metro Suburban Conference, effective 2014-15. Those departing schools include Aurora Central Catholic and Wheaton Academy. Marmion athletic director Joe Chivari said the remaining SCC schools will consider opportunities with the East Suburban and Chicago Catholic League, but said sticking together and looking to add replacements over time always has been “the primary option”
PREP ZONE Jay Schwab if it can be worked out. “The six schools that are remaining, when you stop to think about it, we are the cream of the SCC anyway,” Chivari said. “We all compete well against each other in all of the sports, so if we stick together, the six of us, maybe we can find three other good schools similar to our own and survive that way.” Still, the schools are open-minded enough about looking elsewhere that detailed conversations are ongoing with the Chicago Catholic League and East Suburban. In the case of the Chicago Catholic League, the possibility exists that league members could join for football-only or perhaps an additional sport and remain in the SCC in other sports. “They might even go as far
as creating a fourth division in their conference to accommodate us, and then there are other sports that also are willing to work with us in scheduling, so it’s a little different offer than what the East Suburban Catholic offers us,” Chivari said. “It’s either all or nothing with them, you’re either in with them or nothing, where the Chicago Catholic League gives us a little flexibility with what we’re doing.” Figuring out the football landscape appears to be the first step. Chivari said playing football in the Chicago Catholic League – be it as football-only members or otherwise – could consist of most of the current SCC members remaining as divisional partners, with some crossover games mixed in with other divisions. “Nothing has been presented to us in a definitive way,” Chivari said. “One presentation was where Aurora Christian would be in a division with smaller schools
and [Marmion, St. Francis, Marian Central and Montini] would be one division, and then they would slot another school from one of the other divisions with us to make it a five-school division.” If the SCC contingent opts for the Chicago Catholic League – which only sanctions boys sports – Rosary would likely filter to the affiliated Girls Catholic Athletic Conference, which includes all-girls schools such as Mother McAuley, Resurrection and Queen of Peace. Rosary AD Mary Lou Kunold acknowledged there’s not much Rosary can do to drive the process until football is figured out. “We still have strong teams that are involved and continuing to be there for the Suburban Christian and hopefully we won’t find out scheduling is an issue,” Kunold said. “I’m hoping not. We can’t even start thinking how we want to proceed with schedules until we know [what’s going to happen].
It could be like [in soccer], right now we play each other once, maybe it will be twice and looking for a possible crossover with another [conference].” Given all the administrative wheeling-and-dealing involved, a final resolution is unlikely to play out until the new school year starts. In the meantime, given the amount of schools involved – several of which play high-level football – expect the rumors to keep flying. “One thing people have a misconception about our conference is the conference is dead because those seven schools left,” Chivari said. “People are saying, well, now where are the other schools going to go. Well, we may not go anywhere. We may just rebuild the conference, so time will tell.”

St. Charles North’s Loess Athlete of the Month
BLACKHAWKS
Hawks’ Saad heating up after a slow start By TOM MUSICK tmusick@shawmedia.com EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – Forgive Brandon Saad if he has experienced a recent sense of déjà vu. Saad’s first extended playoff stint has felt the same as his introduction to the regular season, when the Blackhawks’ rookie forward struggled to a slow start before enjoying a hot streak. “I think [I had] a little bit of a tough start there at the beginning,” Saad said. “But keep doing the little things, keep sticking with it, and production’s going to come.” The rookie’s coaches and teammates have taken notice. After notching only one assist in his first nine games of the playoffs, Saad has thrived alongside new linemates An-
drew Shaw and Viktor Stalberg. The 20-year-old entered Tuesday’s Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against the Los Angeles Kings with two assists, two takeaways and three hits during the series. Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said he was impressed by Saad’s poise as a young player. “He’s a threat offensively,” Quenneville said. “He’s dangerous with the puck. We use him in both special teams units. He gets some different kind of ice time. I think he’s a threat no matter who he’s playing with.” Saad said he was looking forward to more ice time with Shaw and Stalberg. “I think our line’s getting better and better every game,” Saad said. The Kings beat the Hawks, 3-1.

Former park district leader steps into role KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – Former St. Charles Park District director James Breen is now president of the Greater St. Charles Convention & Visitors Bureau, the bureau announced Tuesday. Bureau Executive Director Amy Egolf said in a written statement that the organization is pleased to have Breen as president. “His well-respected tenure with the St. Charles Park Dis-
trict, with whom we partner in producing the annual Scarecrow Fest and in identifying and servicing sports events to enhance the area’s economic health, will be invaluable to the bureau’s annual program of work,” she said in the James Breen statement. Breen said in the statement that he is happy the board entrusted him with the responsibility.
“I look forward to working with the board, and our executive director, Amy Egolf, to ensure that the bureau is following sound financial practices, is adhering to its established bylaws and providing staff members with whatever guidance is necessary to continue the bureau’s successful program of work,” Breen said in the statement. Breen has been a member of the Board of Directors since 2009. He replaces Steve Martin as president. Martin, vice president of First State Bank
in St. Charles, is now serving as secretary. Tim Foley, general manager of Pheasant Run Resort, is serving as vice president and treasurer. Breen, Martin, Egolf and bureau staff represented the visitors bureau Monday at the city’s Government Operations Committee. Egolf shared the bureau’s achievements from last year and requested continued funding from the local hotel tax collected by the city. The committee recommended approval of the $526,500 request.
Cop on a Rooftop Men honored for efforts nets more than $3K BATAVIA

By ASHLEY RHODEBECK arhodebeck@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – The six hours St. Charles police spent at a doughnut shop didn’t go to waste. The group – a combination of sworn personnel, non-sworn personnel and members of the Citizens Police Academy – raised $3,400 for Special Olympics Illinois during the statewide Cop on a Rooftop fundraiser, Cmdr. Jerry Gatlin said. “We did good,” he said, noting the St. Charles Police Department’s site was the top earner in Kane County. The Dunkin’ Donuts at 1711 W. Main St. in St. Charles was one of more than 150 participating locations in Illinois
on Friday. Other participating Dunkin’ Donuts included stores in Aurora, Batavia, Crystal Lake, Elgin, Naperville and West Chicago. Together, law enforcement agencies raised more than $280,000 – a new record, according to the Special Olympics Illinois website. The website also noted that Dunkin’ Donuts itself will donate $15,000 to the Torch Run fund in return for the police officers’ efforts. According to St. Charles police, the Illinois Law Enforcement Torch Run has raised almost $28 million over 27 years. More than 3,000 officers carry the Flame of Hope through their hometowns and to the state Summer Games in Normal in June.
BATAVIA – The Batavia City Council on Monday honored two residents for their efforts in helping save the life of John Gamble, chairman of the Batavia Bicycle Commission. Gamble collapsed and stopped breathing during an incident May 4 on the 300 block of Illinois Avenue, Batavia. Two of his friends, Jim Williams and Tim Ozanne, both from Batavia, called 911 and started CPR. Williams is a paid-on-call Batavia firefighter who was off duty at the time. “Both played important roles that provided the time necessary to get an automatic electronic defibrillator on the scene and in use,” Bata-
via Fire Chief Randy Deicke said, in honoring Williams and Ozanne. “The CPR that they performed played an integral role in saving that person’s role.” After their actions, Batavia police officers Tony Gramme and Emil Jensen arrived at the scene with an automatic electronic defibrillator. Williams and Ozanne were presented proclamations honoring their efforts. Gamble said he suffered a heart attack that day. “There was no warning,” he said. “I’m lucky my friends were there and knew what to do.” Deicke also noted the actions of Batavia police and firefighters “for their contributions to the successful outcome.”

Schepler waived by 49ers, hopes to return for camp
Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com • Wednesday, June 5, 2013

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com Jason Schepler hopes his absence from the San Francisco 49ers is just temporary. The former Sycamore High and Northern Illinois tight end was released by the Niners on Monday, but Schepler told the Daily Chronicle that 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh said there would be a good opportunity for him to be back with the team when training camp opens. After catching three passes for 65 yards and a touchdown for the Huskies in 2012, where he was a key blocker in a rushing attack which ranked 12th in the Football Bowl Subdivision (238.2 yards a game), Schepler signed with the 49ers in May
and attended organized team activities. After NIU’s season, Schepler bulked up to 290 pounds for the possibility that a team could sign him as an offensive lineman. He plans to work on getting down to around 270, and thought that could have played a factor in his release. Schepler worked out at both tight end and fullback with San Francisco. “I put on all that weight for offensive line, now I need to take that off,” he said. The 49ers signed safety Raymond Ventrone to replace Schepler. During OTAs, players worked out without pads. Coaching staffs can have trouble getting a read on a player like Schepler, who excels in run blocking, when there aren’t any pads involved.
“They told me before I left that they just want to look at me when I get the pads on. I’m a physical player,” he said. “... It’s hard to evaluate run blocking when you don’t have pads on.” Schepler still had the opportunity to get a taste of the NFL, and the defending NFC champs on top of it. If all goes well, he’ll get another chance in July, whether it’s for the Niners or another team. “It was awesome. As far as the atmosphere, it’s like an electric atmosphere out there. Everybody wants to be there that’s on that team, they’re all excited,” Schepler said. “... The veterans are nice, they come and introduce themselves to you. Nobody had a big ego out there.”

Author-poet Anne Serling gives account of father – creator of ‘The Twilight Zone’ By DA KENTNER
your father after all this time? AS: I am grateful and humbled beyond
More Content Now “As I Knew Him: My Dad, Rod Serling” is Anne Serling’s account of her father and the love and joy their family shared. Through Anne’s mastery of the written word, we are invited to partake in the memories as if they are current events unfolding before us. Anne holds a degree in elementary education with a minor in English. She’s been a substitute teacher, worked with children with special needs, and was a preschool teacher at Cornell University’s Early Childhood Program and Cooperative Nursery School. Her poetry has appeared in publications such as The Cornell Daily Sun and Visions. Previously, she adapted two of her father’s teleplays to short stories which were included in the anthology “The Twilight Zone.” Anne and her husband currently live in upstate New York. “As I Knew Him” has been described as a “lyrical tribute” to Rod Serling’s legacy. That may be a fair assertion. However, it is Anne’s ability to bring to life her father’s empathy, kindness, and sense of social justice that separates this book from the pack. Shared personal correspondence and photographs help to paint the picture of the man, father, and confidant Anne knew. This is a book of family and how our futures are molded by the values instilled within us by those who love and guide us. Buy this book. You won’t regret it. For more information on Serling, visit www.anneserling.com.
DK: I’m certain that writing a book about your father was suggested numerous times over the years. What made you decide that now was the right time? AS: Writing the book was actually never suggested. It was just something I needed to do. Initially I began another book about 10 years after my dad died – “In His Absence.” I was unable to finish it though as I was still so much, even then, in the throes of grief and unable to navigate my way through that minefield. After several years I heard things that had been written and said that described my father in a way that could not have been more removed from the person I
words that these kind people took the time out of their busy worlds to offer me these quotes. My dad was once quoted as saying he felt his writing was “momentarily adequate” and that it wouldn’t “stand the test of time.” These endorsements, after all of these decades, touched me deeply, as they would have him.
DK: The Fifth Dimension is a grade school program designed to enhance the life skills of children entering middle school. It utilizes Twilight Zone episodes to focus on such issues as prejudice and mob mentality. How involved were you with creating this marvelous program? AS: I was not involved in creating

DK: No doubt this has been asked, but what do you believe was the greatest gift both of your parents gave you? AS: At an early age I learned of the insidious nature of prejudice and how my dad felt it was our world’s “greatest evil.” Both my parents shielded my sister and me from “the Hollywood scene.” And I am grateful for that. Although I think that environment would be even tougher to grow up in now. Not to say it wouldn’t, at times, be exciting. From my father I learned that unconditional love is the greatest gift a parent can give their children. Also the ability to laugh at one’s self.
DK: Several renowned celebrities came out in public support of “As I Knew Him.” Their support is a tribute to both you and your father. How did it feel knowing they were willing to state their lasting impressions of
this program. Credit goes entirely to the superb teachers that implemented it, organized it and made it successful through their creativity and belief in the idea. It is focused on enhancing the life skills of elementary students as they prepare to enter the tumultuous years of middle school with its peer pressure and bullying. And these students really “get” these moral messages. When asked by one teacher, after viewing the episode “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street,” “Who are the monsters?” The entire class stood up. I believe my father would have considered this program his greatest accolade.
DK: Any parting thoughts for your readers? AS: I hope I have been successful in presenting the human side of my father and that readers come to know “another dimension” of the man beyond his public persona and the mistaken portrayal by some as a morose, depressed angry man. Additionally, I hope that I have helped others by opening up about getting through my grief. Grieving the loss of someone is so difficult. I hope my sharing lets others realize that they are not alone and that there is no “right” way to get through it. No “appropriate” measure of time. It’s tough and it’s messy and can take years before you feel “right” or “normal” again and that is OK.

Embarrassed mom walks in on son The only one that Dear Abby: I’m a single mother of two amazing boys, 16 and 12. While my older son has been private about coming into puberty, my younger son is very open about it, and we have had many conversations about it. Abby, I’ll be honest. The subject makes me uncomfortable. Last night I walked into my 12-year-old’s room and interrupted him pleasuring himself. I was shocked, and I started to laugh because I was embarrassed. I did tell him he needed to be more private about his curiosity, to close the door and have a blanket over himself. But I was laughing when I was talking to him and literally could not stop. I’m unsure what is the right course of action at this point. Where do I go from here? – Embarrassed Mom Dear Embarrassed: Masturbation is natural. Every healthy, normal person has done it. It is not depraved, a crime or harmful to one’s health. Your son is now at an age when it is appropriate for Mom to knock before entering his room out of respect for his privacy. So, apologize to your son for laughing. Explain that it was be-
DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips cause you were embarrassed. If your children’s father is in the picture (or another male relative), a man-to-man talk about this could be helpful. If there isn’t one, consult your sons’ pediatrician for suggestions on how to discuss sexuality with both of your boys. If you haven’t already done so, the time has arrived. Dear Abby: My brother, three sisters and their husbands and children and I go to our parents’ house for holiday dinners. My youngest sister’s husband refuses to go because he doesn’t get along with our family. (He also does not get along with his own family.) Before my youngest sister leaves, she insists on taking a plate of food home for her husband who was “unable to be there.” I feel if he doesn’t want to be with our family, he shouldn’t be allowed to have takeout. Our mother is 82, and it upsets her that he doesn’t want to be there. What do you think? – Resentful Dear Resentful: If your brother-
in-law can’t get along with the family, he is doing everyone a favor by not attending those family dinners. Because your mother finds his absence upsetting, it is up to her to put her foot down and tell your sister she doesn’t want food taken to him. Until she does, food deliveries will continue. Dear Abby: I, too, am disgusted with people who answer their cellphones wherever and whenever. I was at a funeral last week where this twit answered her cellphone while viewing the deceased in his casket. She was literally kneeling beside the casket when her phone rang, and she carried on a conversation with the caller for a full three minutes. I timed it! Unless you’re a doctor or some other emergency caretaker, there is no reason to take a call while in the company of others. – Michael In Rochester, N.Y. Dear Michael: I agree.

Balance exercises help to reduce risk of falls Dear Doctor K: In a previous column you wrote about the importance of balance exercises as we age. But why does our balance get worse as we get older? Dear Reader: A number of changes that come with aging can affect our balance. • Inside our ears is a balance center called the vestibular system that detects where our body is in space. Are we upright or lying flat; are we standing on our feet or performing a handstand? The vestibular system is connected to centers in the brain that also control our balance. When the vestibular system and brain determine that we’re about to fall over, the brain directs the body to take corrective action. Maybe we twist back upright so we don’t fall. Maybe we’re too far off center to avoid falling, so our arms and hands stretch out to brace our fall. As we age, cells in the vestibular system die off. This affects how accurately we detect our position in space. That, in turn, affects our ability to correct our position. For example, if we start to tilt to the right and the vestibular system doesn’t detect this quickly, it
ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff becomes harder for the brain to prevent falling to the right. • Our sight, the ability to focus and see things clearly, diminishes with age. So do depth perception, night vision and sensitivity to contrast. Eye problems can impair, blur or distort vision. The loss of these visual cues compromises balance. Corrective lenses or surgery may help. • Blood pressure can dip suddenly when you stand up, causing dizziness, lightheadedness, blurry vision, even fainting. Standing up slowly – sitting first on the side of the bed when you rise, for example – may help. • We lose a lot of muscle mass and strength as we age. We also lose power – a function of strength and speed – which affects balance, too. If you start to trip, power helps you react swiftly. Exercise can help you rebuild strength and power, or at least slow the pace of decline.
• Our reflexes and coordination slow with age. Thus, you may be more likely to stumble – and take more time to react when you do. Many health problems can interfere with balance. They include, but are not limited to, arthritis, stroke, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis. Medications may also increase your risk of falls. They can cause blurred vision, dizziness, lightheadedness and drowsiness. Some medications may damage the inner ear, spurring balance disorders. Along with regular aerobic exercise and weight training, balance exercises are important as we get older. Such exercises really can help you improve your balance. I’ve posted some of these simple exercises before, but I think it’s worthwhile to highlight them again. You can find them on my website, AskDoctorK.com.

counts is her mother
Dr. Wallace: I’m 19 and seeing a girl who happens to be a very mature (both physically and mentally) 14. I met her at her cousin’s wedding a few months ago. At the time we met, I thought Ellen was 16 or 17. I didn’t find out she was 14 until I found out that she was in the ninth grade. By that time, I had fallen for her in a very big way. My parents have met her and know her true age. They think we are a very compatible couple and have told us that we are fortunate to have found each other. Ellen has told me that she loves me and that she will never love another guy as much as she loves me. I also have similar feelings for her. Our problem is that her mother thinks that I’m much too old for her and won’t let her go out with me any more. This is very difficult for us to abide by. Love is a strong emotion and can’t be controlled. I feel that Ellen’s mother is being unreasonable. I’m an honorable guy. I don’t do drugs, drink or smoke, and I am not going to take away her daughter’s virginity. Since my parents are all for Ellen and I continuing our relationship, wouldn’t it be prudent if her mom at least compromised and allowed us to date twice a month? – Bud, St. Louis, Mo. Dear Bud: I’d really like to give you a response that you could show Ellen’s mother to help change her mind, but being a fair-minded gentleman, I must remind you that the only person who counts in this drama is Ellen’s mother. It’s nice that your parents like Ellen and want you both to continue the relationship, but what they think doesn’t count.
’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace I also happen to agree with Ellen’s mother. You are too old for her, so honor her request and hit the road. Somewhere along your journey you will discover a young lady who will think you are her knight in shining armor, and she will be no younger than 17. Dr. Wallace: I’m in the seventh grade and get excellent grades. I feel that my grades are very important because I’m going to be a veterinarian after I finish my education. In one of my classes, (social studies), I’m designated as a teacher’s aide. That means at times I will do errands for the teacher and once in a while I’ll actually grade student tests that have true or false answers. I like the class and enjoy helping the teacher. Some of the students call me names such as “teacher’s pet” and “traitor.” This is the only negative thing about helping this teacher. What should I do because I don’t enjoy being called names, especially traitor? – Nameless, Santa Rosa, Calif. Dear Nameless: Those immature students who call you names are actually envious, and if asked to be the teacher’s aide, they would jump at the opportunity. Do not confront the name callers. That’s exactly the reaction they are trying to achieve; just smile and go on your merry way. • Email Dr. Robert Wallace at rwallace@ galesburg.net.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder
• Wednesday, June 5, 2013
CELEBRITY CIPHER
A.J. Liebling, a journalist and author who died in 1963, said, “Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one.” That does not seem to be guaranteed. Outside influences might exert pressure. At the bridge table, some plays are guaranteed; one example is a safety play. Other plays, though, are not sure to work. You just hope that they do. In today’s deal, against four spades, West starts with the heart queen: six, four, two. What should West lead at trick two? After North opened one club and East overcalled one heart, South’s one-spade response guaranteed at least a five-card suit, because with only four spades, he would have made a negative double. West applied maximum pressure with his jump to four hearts – in a competitive auction, usually bid to the 10-trick level with a 10-card fit. Then North raised to four spades. This was a slight overbid. If West had passed, North would have rebid three spades. But in competition you may bid one level higher than you would have done in a noncompetitive sequence. Also, maybe both four hearts and four spades were making. West cannot be sure where four defensive tricks will come from. But unless East has the spade king, the defenders need three minor-suit tricks. Although not underwritten by Lloyd’s of London, West’s best shift is to the diamond queen. Here, South will win with dummy’s king and draw trumps, but when he turns to clubs, East takes a trick and returns a diamond through South’s jack, which is trapped by West’s A-10 tenace.

Kane uses riverboat cash to fund array of projects By JONATHAN BILYK jbilyk@shawmedia.com GENEVA – More than 40 local nonprofit and charitable organizations could receive money in coming months to help with a variety of projects, as Kane County’s government prepares to dole out more than $1 million in grants from the money it collects from Elgin’s riverboat casino. The Kane County Board’s Riverboat Committee recommended on Tuesday the County Board approve $1.18 million in grants to agencies operating in the county. The grants, ranging from $5,000 to $98,000, would help fund such efforts as improving food pantries, creating plans to improve the Fox River riverfront and improve the river’s water quality, repair and maintain homeless shelters, provide for after-school programs, make some communities more inviting for tourists and provide services for those with disabilities, among others. Within the Tri-Cities, the committee recommended awarding money to a range of projects, including: • $50,000 to the Geneva Chamber of Commerce to de-
velop a visitors center; • $15,000 to the Geneva History Center to repair and improve their building; • $50,000 to the Batavia Parks Foundation to renovate a portion of the Batavia Riverwalk; • $6,000 to Water Street Studios in Batavia to create a metal work studio and design lab; • $65,000 to the city of St. Charles for a “green infrastructure project along the Fox River;” • $50,000 to the Northern Illinois Food Bank in St. Charles to expand its food salvage, waste and recycling area; • $25,000 to the Living Well Cancer Resource Center in Geneva for a facility expansion and technology upgrades; and • $45,000 to the Salvation Army for the purchase of temperature-controlled vehicles to transport food. Other grants will be distributed to other organizations throughout the county, according to the allocation schedule sent with a positive recommendation Tuesday. The matter will advance next to the County Board’s Executive Committee today. From there, the matter could
advance to the full County Board next week. The money to be awarded comes from funds the county collects from the Grand Victoria Casino in Elgin under the terms of a longstanding agreement between the county and the casino. The money is to be spent on “education, environment and economic development,” according to the agreement. This year, the county collected $4.4 million, down from a high of around $12 million in the early years of the last decade. The Riverboat Committee already has dedicated $3.57 million of this year’s collections to various programs run by the county government. The committee and Kane County Board Chairman Chris Lauzen have backed a plan to use money from some of the $10 million leftover from previous years’ riverboat collections to hold support for external grant recipients around $1 million.

Moon Dance Diner Presbyterian church moves reopens in Maple Park closer to permanent home SUGAR GROVE
By JONATHAN BILYK
jbilyk@shawmedia.com MAPLE PARK – Less than a year after its owner closed the doors, the Moon Dance Diner has reopened, offering the village’s residents and those who wish to make the drive to Maple Park a chance at a classic diner-style weekend breakfast. “We’re still offering that very much old-school menu, with a hot rod diner look and feel,” said Moon Dance Diner owner George Georgiou. “Like a diner of the past, but with more limited hours.” Georgiou first opened Moon Dance at 309 Main St. in Maple Park in 2011, offering breakfast and lunch selections that included burgers, Reuben sandwiches, fried bologna sandwiches, turkey panini sandwiches, fresh corned beef hash and Spam and eggs. However, about a year later, Georgiou said he was forced to close because he could not find a way to bring customers into his restaurant at times other than weekend mornings.
So this spring, when the temperatures warmed, Georgiou said he decided to reopen. To specifically target those weekend mornings, Moon Dance Diner will be open for business from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. The restaurant also will open Wednesday nights when the diner hosts a cruise night event, offering visitors a chance to display their classic automobiles outside the diner and eat inside the diner. He said he also is considering offering a Friday fish fry or “shrimp oil” night in the future. “I thought we’d try to pick our spots this time around,” he said. The restaurant reopened in late May, and so far, the response from customers has been positive, with the restaurant packed both weekends. Georgiou, who worked as a photographer for “many years,” said his love of restaurant ownership came to him from his father, who worked in restaurants his entire life. “A diner was something I always wanted to do,” Georgiou said. “So, I’m trying again.”
By NICOLE WESKERNA nweskerna@shawmedia.com SUGAR GROVE – After relocating from Batavia, the Covenant of Grace Orthodox Presbyterian Church is a little closer to its future permanent home in Sugar Grove. Pastor Jim Megchelsen said the church’s first Sunday service at its newest location – John Shields Elementary School on Main Street – was held last Sunday. But in the next few years, Megchelsen said he looks forward to building a church on land the church bought near Denny and Bliss roads in Sugar Grove. For now, the congregation worships just a few miles away from its permanent home instead of in another city. “I think people are excited about the move and particularly the members of our church who live in that area are excited, “ Megchelsen said. “I do hope that this is one step closer toward establishing the congregation in a permanent location.” Megchelsen explained that the Covenant of Grace Orthodox Presbyterian Church is a “Christ-believing, Bi-
Hey what’s the
ble-believing” church. It started as a branch of the Bethel Presbyterian Church in Wheaton about 15 years ago. Megchelsen said the church initially used space in the North Aurora Seventh Day Adventist Church in 1997, and later moved into a building owned by the Batavia Park District in 2004. The congregation has been housed at that location until now. Megchelsen said he wanted to find space in Sugar Grove to be closer to where they hope to someday build a permanent church. He said he came across the John Shields Elementary School location while looking for a place to hold the church’s Nature Camp – a weeklong camp open to the public. The camp will be from 9 a.m. to noon during the week of June 24 and is open to any child ages 5 to 11, regardless of whether they or their families belong to the congregation. This year’s theme is “incredible insects.” “It’s our version of a Vacation Bible School, but at the same time, it is a nature camp,” Megchelsen said. “It really is a good program. We get a lot of compliments.”

continue classes in the fall, but she was allowed to go through graduation with her classmates. This weekend, she will lead the Metal Walk at Harrah’s Casino, 151 N. Joliet St., Joliet, hosted by the ATI Foundation. Garcia works twice a week at Rush-Copley Medical Center in Aurora as her rehabilitation continues. Monse Dominguez, a physical therapist with the Rush-Copley Outpatient Rehabilitation Therapy Center, said it was a goal for Garcia to walk across the stage for her graduation, and the Metal Walk is something else to work toward. Dominguez said Garcia works hard and “her motivation is what really defines her.” Garcia had started running before the crash, running in a half-marathon, and Dominguez said, “I support her in wanting to have that goal of one day being able to do that again.” The focus is on recovery. Dominguez said those at Rush-Copley were excited that Garcia was able to walk across the stage at her graduation, and they admire her
ability to overcome the physical and mental obstacles that she’s encountered. “We’re trying to make her as independent as possible,” Dominguez said. Garcia’s mother, Lisa DeFranze, said graduation was “just a proud moment.” She has been with Garcia through it all, and she said Garcia’s memory is getting better, “but at times she will forget things.” Garcia has been working on walking without a cane, and DeFranze said they haven’t been bringing the cane on shopping trips. There is no way to forget the crash. Because it’s so close to home, Garcia sees the road on a regular basis. DeFranze reached out to witnesses of the crash, and Garcia had an opportunity to meet with them. “She was excited to get some questions answered,” DeFranze said. “She was just curious about how she landed, how many times the car flipped, what she looked like when they found her.” It can be difficult when DeFranze must drive Garcia in the area. There are times, DeFranze said, when she might go a little off the road, and Garcia gets upset. Garcia said she has not thought about driving again. “No … it scares me so much,” Garcia said. “I think about that. … It’s horrible. It seriously gets me in tears when she goes off the road. I remember that feeling, a lot.”

MONTGOMERY – Samantha Garcia brought her cane to her graduation ceremony, but the Kaneland High School student was determined to walk across the stage on her own Saturday – which she did – at the Convocation Center at Northern Illinois University. “It was so nerve-racking,” she said. “Walking across the stage, and knowing that everyone is looking at you.” It has been almost a year since Garcia, an 18-year-old Montgomery resident, was seriously injured in a car crash, less than a mile away from her home. Driving on Route 30, she veered off the road and lost control of her vehicle, rolling at least six times. She wasn’t speeding or texting, but she also wasn’t wearing a seat belt. She was ejected from her vehicle and landed on her right arm, which was severely injured. And she suffered brain trauma. Her future was uncertain, and her family has said at least one doctor said she might never open her eyes again. Since then, the story has been Garcia’s recovery. At first, just moving and communicating were significant victories, but progress has been rapid since then. She was Kaneland’s homecoming queen and was able to return to classes. She will have to

VANCOUVER, Wash. – Marcia Bunde Filip (nee Johnsen), formerly of Batavia and San Diego, and most recently Vancouver, Wash., passed away Sunday, June 2, 2013, at Dallas Retirement Village, Dallas, Ore. She was 97 years old. Born on Leap Year’s Day in 1916, her once-every-four-year birthday was the source of humor and special times among her family and friends. She is survived by her son, Robert Filip of Sequim, Wash.; her daughters, Evelyn Braibish of Vancouver, Wash., and Marlene Schroeder of Newbury, Mass.; sons-in-law, Stanley Braibish of Vancouver, Wash., Norm Rehn of Newbury, Mass., Robert Hutchison of Sequim, Wash., and Brian Lightcap of Portland, Ore.; daughter-in-law, Joy Filip of Sequim, Wash.; 12 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; sister-in-law, Judy Johnsen; and many nieces and nephews.

Filip; and her dear daughters, Janice Hutchison and Christine Lightcap. Marcia grew up on farms in the Geneva and St. Charles areas and attended Geneva schools. She and her husband and their family lived in St. Charles before moving to Batavia, where they attended the Methodist church. Marcia was a Batavia playground mother before becoming manager of the cafeteria at the Houghton Mifflin facility in Geneva, where she was known for her delicious pies. Upon her husband’s retirement, they moved to San Diego and enjoyed good friends and life close to the ocean. They traveled to many national parks and followed San Diego sports teams, often going to the Padres spring training in Yuma, Ariz. They enjoyed sharing San Diego
attractions when their children and grandchildren would visit. Marcia enjoyed classical music, bird watching and the lovely gardens Robert planted for her. She and her husband were devoted to their family. The family will hold a private scattering of ashes at sea, reuniting Marcia with her beloved husband, Robert.

RONALD AARON LUNDQUIST Died: May 25, 2013 RIO RANCHO, N.M. – Ronald Aaron Lundquist passed away unexpectedly Saturday, May 25, 2013, at Lovelace West Side Hospital near his Rio Rancho home in New Mexico. Aaron was born and raised in Aurora, Ill. He graduated from West Aurora High School in 1965. He then served in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War as a radar and electronic specialist for jet fighters. After the war, he pursued a bachelor of science degree in finance from Northern Illinois University. With this degree, he became director of marketing for a 68-branch bank in Connecticut. After leaving banking, he returned to Illinois and started several small businesses in construction, business consulting and property management Aaron loved warm weather and being outside, so it was not surprising when he moved to Rio Rancho, N.M. There, he worked as a certified business analyst promoting economic development and business startups. He was very active in the community and held several positions on boards and committees, veteran affairs and community events. In Aaron’s spare time, he loved sports and thoroughly enjoyed playing racquetball and tennis. He enjoyed working out and could be seen at the gym on a regular basis. Many of his other interests were his sports car, motorcycle and being outdoors with his beloved Boxer, “Deano.” Aaron is survived by his son, Darrell Aaron Lundquist (Melissa); his grandchildren, Sofia and Grayson; his parents, Sarah Elizabeth and Ronald Lundquist; a special brother, Darrell Gene Lundquist; two sisters, Susan Beth Brandau (Edward) and Marjorie Lu Aull; his nephews; and the rest of his relatives and friends.

Rooms going fast at wildlife center The Drake Hotel in Chicago houses about 500 rooms, and the city’s Palmer House Hilton offers a staggering 1,640 or so. But as impressive as those numbers are, there is a facility in Elburn that expects over 3,000 guests this year. Even more amazing, it doesn’t offer beds, and most of its occupants aren’t human. The Fox Valley Wildlife Center, 45WO61 Route 38, Elburn, started when Kay Johnson and Sandy Webster acquired the old ranger’s house in Elburn on a lease from the forest preserve in 2000. It opened it in spring 2001 as a rehabilitation center. Spring is one of the busiest seasons for the Fox Valley Wildlife Center, but I was able to talk with the center’s director Ashley Flint, to get a better understanding of the services the center provides. “Our main goal is to release the animals back out into the wild ... to educate the public on how to better co-exist with wildlife,” Flint wrote in an email. Flint always has had a love for animals and their care, but she said rehab was a developed passion.
GUEST VIEW Paige Gifford “I was originally going to be a zookeeper,” she wrote, “so right out of high school I tried animal care experience, searched positions and found Willowbrook Wildlife Center. During college, I volunteered at Willowbrook. Out of college, I began interning and then working at Brookfield Zoo. When I saw the position [for Fox Valley], I made the decision to make rehab my career ... getting to run a center that is completely off of donations, the struggles and triumphs really give me a drive for what I am doing.” The “guest list” at the Fox Valley Wildlife Center varies. All types of mammals – such as squirrels, raccoon, deer, opossum, mice, chipmunk, fox and coyote – are admitted. Flint says her favorite animal is the opossum: “People don’t realize how unique they are – the only marsupial in [the] United States ... they have a lot people don’t know about
them.” The Fox Valley Wildlife Center also cares for an extensive list of birds, including all types of water fowl, cranes, hawks, turkey vultures and songbirds. This year, it added two large male turkeys to its roster. Volunteers help with food prep, feedings, maintenance of animal enclosures, laundry and, of course, animal care. Most residents have a short-term stay, but others call FVWC home. The center has several educational animals which, for a number of reasons – usually imprint, when animals change their behavior because of being around humans, or injury – cannot be released back to the wild, Flint explained. I asked Flint if there are any animals FVWC cannot admit. She said: “We only take in wild animals, no feral cats, domestics or pets of any kind. ... We cannot take in skunks and bats due to the rabies risk, or adult deer, which are too high stress for any kind of rehabilitation.”
8LOCAL BRIEF Golf outing set for Kaneland boys hoops SUGAR GROVE – The Kaneland Boys Basketball program’s fourth annual golf outing is set for Saturday at Bliss Creek Golf Course, 1 Golfview Lane, Sugar
So, what is the most challenging animal to take in? “Baby Cottontails are probably our most difficult. They are very high stress, so their survival rate is low. They are time consuming and are difficult to feed.” Her inspiration comes from animals that arrive in poor condition, but slowly improve daily until they can finally be released: “It’s a lot of hard work; the animals don’t always make it. But the ones that do get released remind me what it is all about.” The Fox Valley Wildlife Center serves all of Kane County. It operates entirely off of donations, so monetary gifts always are needed. If you’d like to help, you can also reference the center’s “wish list” at www.foxvalleywildlife.org. Or check out the website to learn what to do if you find an animal that needs help, or learn about upcoming events.
