Dan Bussey shows how to cut a root stock to prepare it for grafting at the 26th Annual Antique Apple Tree Grafting Seminar held Sunday at Garfield Farm Museum in Campton Hills.

Grafting antique apples keeps old varieties growing

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com CAMPTON HILLS – The antique apple varieties were pretty old.

There was Annie Elizabeth, dating back to 1857 in England, good for eating and cooking.

The Baldwin, from 1740 in Massachuetts, Golden Russet from the late 1700s in New Jersey – good for eating, cooking and making cider. Also the Hamilton from 1867 in the south and the oldest, Fameuse/Snow, from 1700 in Vermont and New York.

These were the varieties of antique or heirloom apple grafts that Garfield Farm Museum in Campton Hills offered to almost 50 people Sunday at its 26th Annual Antique Apple Tree Grafting Seminar.

Grafting, said Dan Bussey, orchard manager for the Seed Savers Exchange in Iowa, is the fifth oldest profession, as it allows the heirloom apples to stay in cultivation. The exchange is a nonprofit of gardeners who preserve seeds from heirloom flowers, vegetables and herbs.

The trick, as Bussey explained, is the heirloom apple cutting is grafted onto a root stock that makes the apple more hardy, and controls its size so it does not turn into a towering tree that requires a ladder to harvest the apples.

The downside is the smaller the tree has a shorter lifespan, about 20 years, so he – and the farm museum – encourages the public to learn how to graft these old varieties in order to keep them cultivated, Bussey said.

“Unfortunately over the years, a lot of varieties were lost,” Bussey said. “The numbers

when I started working [at the Seed Savers orchard] were down to 550 varieties. I’m already back up to 750 varieties from what I collected last year and more so this year again.”

Apples are an ancient cultivar, he said. One of the oldest is the Dasio from Italy, dating back to 450 A.D. Bussey said his goal also is to make fruitgrowing fun.

“Apples, to me, are just one of the most perfect fruits that you can do so many things with,” Bussey said. “You can eat the apples, bake them, dry them, make cider, make hard cider, distill it and make brandy. You take the prunings [and] use the wood to either heat your home or use it in a smoker to smoke meats.”

The method of grafting is to take the root stock, slice a piece off at an oblong length to expose the cambium, a layer inside the bark where the active growing occurs, Bussey demonstrated.

The graft and the cutting from one of the antique varieties are then pressed together, tied with a bit of rubber and sealed with wax.

This is patience: It will take five to seven years to get an apple from that grafted tree.

He also suggested making sure the buds of the graft were pointing up – so the branches grow out, not down.

Jack and Susan O’Brien of Geneva came to the seminar to learn how to start an heirloom apple tree in their yard. They’d already planted a Macintosh apple tree from a hardware store last year.

“I like apples and I like to cook,” Jack O’Brien said.

Nature Program Manager Valerie Blaine demonstrates how to tap a maple tree Saturday during Maple Sugaring Days at Johnson’s Mound Forest Preserve in Elburn.

Families learn art, science of making maple syrup

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com ELBURN – Curtis Pierce of Elgin tried to give his 9-yearold grandson, Dallas Bauer, a boost of confidence Saturday as he practiced his hand drilling techniques on a maple tree at Johnson’s Mound Forest Preserve near Elburn.

“Come on, push, push,” Pierce said, urging him on.

Dallas was one of several youngsters who discovered how challenging it is to get maple sap out of a maple tree.

As part of the forest preserve’s annual Maple Sugaring Days event, kids were given hand drills to practice on trees that already were cut down.

“Maple trees have hard wood,” Dallas said, before

picking up the hand drill again and giving it another try.

The snow on the ground made it hard to believe that spring is around the corner.

But Pierce took it all in stride.

“What other time a year can you see maple syrup?” he asked. “I think this is pleasant. If the sun wasn’t shining, it wouldn’t be so nice.”

Those who came to the event found out the process involved in making maple syrup, from beginning to end.

Volunteer Susan Frankel told the youngsters that the sap “looks like water when it comes out of the tree.”

But the sap was becoming more recognizable as the syrup one puts on pancakes as it sat on the open fire in front of Frankel.

“You boil the sap down and the water evaporates,” she said. “What you end up with is concentrated sugar. It takes 40 gallons of sap from trees to make one gallon of syrup.”

Participants also were able to find out what real maple syrup tastes like by trying samples from Funks Grove, which makes maple syrup just south of BloomingtonNormal.

“It tastes like caramel,” said 6-year-old Spencer McCall, of Campton Hills.

Stacy McCall brought Spencer and her other son, Preston, 2, to the event.

“We like doing stuff outdoors,” she said. “And before we came here, Spencer had been learning about maple syrup by watching ‘Curious

George.’ ” Maple Sugaring Days continued from 1 to 4 p.m. Sun-

day at Johnson’s Mound Forest Preserve, 41W600 Hughes Road, Elburn.

BLACKHAWKS 2, RED WINGS 1 (SO)

Blackhawks keep finding a way DETROIT – Admit it. You thought it was over.

Finished. Kaput. The end of a glorious 21-game stretch during which the Blackhawks have slapped away opponents like Corey Crawford pushed away shots during what turned out to be a heart-pounding Sunday in the city formerly known as Hockeytown.

You were ready to acknowledge that The Streak, like everything in life, has to eventually come to a close.

You were ready to close the NHL record books and move on with your life, prepared to call it good, cursing Detroit, and perhaps the entire state of Michigan, every step of the way.

But then, just when you had given up hope, knowing full well that at some point this season, the Hawks will, Gulp!, lose in regulation, Patrick Kane came to your rescue in a 2-1 shootout win over the Red Wings, saving you from doing who knows what had the Hawks’ unbelievable season-long streak come to an end Sunday afternoon at Joe Louis Arena.

Disaster was averted and everything was again right in your hockey-loving world.

But here’s the thing.

After scoring not only the game-tying goal with 2:02

VIEWS Jeff Arnold remaining in regulation but then adding the game-winner in the shootout, Kane stood in front of his locker and had the audacity – the unmitigated gall – to say that he and his teammates haven’t become infatuated with the fact that no one seems to be able to find a way to beat the Hawks.

“It’s been a fun ride,” said Kane, who at first sounded like someone ready to concede the Hawks’ current run of success. “And it’s not over yet. We want to continue to win.”

Somehow, some way, the Hawks have continued to win, running their record to 19-0-3 in a game that had playoff hockey written all over it, even though the NHL powers that be are determined to drive a rift between the two rivals when they realign the league. The Hawks have continued to win despite rotating goalies between Crawford and Ray Emery and despite the fact that the role of hero has bounced around the Hawks’ lineup more than it did around the net throughout

Sunday’s heart-stopping third period.

And yet, that’s what has put the Hawks at a different level this season. They just find ways to win no matter the circumstance and no matter who ends up adding another game to The Streak.

Sunday, it was Kane and Crawford. But Tuesday night, when the Hawks seek to move The Streak into its mid-20s at the United Center against Minnesota, it easily could be someone else. And knowing this team, it probably will be. But no matter who delivers the heroics, the result never changes.

The Hawks just keep winning and winning and winning.

“That’s the best part of the run right now,” Kane said. “It seems to be a different guy every night. It’s been a blast.”

Yet, for all the talk over how long The Streak can and will continue, Kane insists the Hawks still haven’t played their best hockey.

Even though they still haven’t dropped a game in regulation, there’s still room for this team to improve.

OK, when you’re talking about a string of 22 games the Hawks have registered at least a point, it’s hard to find negatives.

The power play comes to mind for starters, but considering how Kane’s late-game heroics came after the Red Wings were whistled for delay of game, giving the Hawks a man advantage, we’ll save that for another day.

But this much is for certain. Even when they’re not at their best – as they weren’t Friday night against Minnesota and as they weren’t for the much of the third period Sunday – the Hawks still find ways to win.

That’s usually a defining trait of championship teams: Even when they appear beatable, they just refuse to lose.

So for now, though, enjoy another win. Put on your Patrick Kane jersey and celebrate another step in what has already been a historic season. OK, so you may have had to sweat the latest win out a little more than you would have liked, but for a resilient team that keeps finding ways to win – Sunday just became another day in a run that, at least for now, shows no signs of ending.

Hossa plays in his 1,000th NHL game

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com DETROIT – Marian Hossa tried to treat Sunday just like any other of the 999 games he has played during his NHL career.

But even before he stepped onto the ice for the 1,000th time at Joe Louis Arena, fans in Detroit made sure he remembered it. When 15-year veteran’s name was announced the Blackhawks’ starters, the boos that accompanied any mention of the visiting team, grew louder.

Every time Hossa touched the puck during the first period of the Hawks’ 2-1 shootout win, the boos returned.

When Hossa was recognized in between the first and second periods with a public address announcement and by having an image of him in a Red Wings sweater on the JumboTron, the reception was more boos than cheers.

“It doesn’t bother me,” Hossa said afterward. “It wasn’t loud or anything and so I just kept playing.

“I tried to focus and do my thing, but definitely, it was

nice we [kept the win streak going] on my 1,000th game.”

Hossa is in his fourth season with the Hawks after spending the 2008-09 campaign in Detroit when he scored 40 goals and had 31 assists. On Sunday, he became the 283rd player in NHL history to reach the milestone.

Hossa said his teammates congratulated him before Sunday’s game before his former team acknowledged the feat during the game. Hossa waved to the crowd after the announcement.

“That definitely was a class act by their organization – I spent, what I think,

was a great year in Detroit,” Hossa said. “So, that was definitely nice for them.”

Hawks coach Joel Quennville said he was glad the Hawks could pull out a victory to mark the occasion, running their streak of games with at least a point to 22 games.

“He’s the ultimate pro, and he should be proud of his career and his achievements,” Quenneville said. “He’s a dangerous player in all aspects.

He’s just the perfect guy to coach and plays the team system to a tee and we’re happy to have him.”

COACH SLY’S CORNER

Tri-Cities boys hoops teams went down swinging on Friday, but went down nonetheless.

It was light’s out for St. Charles North up at South Elgin and Geneva’s run came to a close against West Aurora at Wheaton Warrenville South.

North got off to a nice start against Larkin but the Royals rose up like the champions they are and left no doubt that they deserved to win the regional championship.

Losing’s never easy, but the North Stars had themselves a nice week at the South Elgin Regional, especially taking down East in a big way on Wednesday. And Quinten Payne played some great ball to cap his North Stars career.

Next stop, Division I ball for Quinten.

And how about Geneva, making a game of it against an excellent West Aurora team, all the way to the last few minutes.

Knocking off Hinsdale Central and West Aurora on back-to-back nights would have been an incredible feat. As it is, the Vikings won 21 games and gave every indication that they’re a program on the upswing, with plenty of quality youngsters due to return.

Maybe it’ll be sooner than later that that crazily long streak of years without a regional title comes to a close for GHS. Speaking of Geneva, there are a couple kids from that fair city who play for St. Francis, and the Spartans are still alive in Class 3A, carrying the banner for the SCC. It’ll be Spartan-on-Spartan action on Wednesday at the Freeport Sectional as St. Francis and Sycamore face off. Bet you a (Freeport) pretzel Francis plays its way to its second straight sectional final.

Bears need the front five’s work to improve BEARS INSIDER Tom Musick while Edwin Williams served as the backup guard and center.

Yes, expect Bears general manager Phil Emery to seek upgrades on the offensive line via free agency (which starts March 12) and the NFL draft (which runs April 25 to 27). But Emery will be on a budget after placing the franchise tag on defensive tackle Henry Melton, and even if he did have gobs of money to spend, most available linemen come with risks.

It’s possible that the Bears could turn mostly to familiar faces on the offensive line.

That seems as if it would be fine with Trestman.

“It’s our job to develop these players to the best of our abilities,” said Trestman, who coordinated top offenses with the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders before heading to Montreal. “We think we’ve got the coaches to do that. Development is a big part of coaching in our league, and we expect to do that.”

Trestman will spend much of his time focusing on the quarterbacks – see: Cutler, Jay – as he tries to improve a group that finished No. 28 in total offense in 2012. Unless Trestman figures out a way to clone himself, he won’t be able to be in the quarterbacks meeting room and the offensive line meeting room at the same time.

That’s why Trestman hired Aaron Kromer from the New Orleans Saints to be his offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. It’s also why he brought Meyer with him from Canada.

Together, the group hopes to lead a disciplined, dependable offensive line.

No matter who starts, Kromer said, he wanted a unit that far exceeded five individuals.

“The personality would be a mentally tough unit that would be accountable to each other,” Kromer said. “That’s what

you’re looking for.

“There are all different styles of talent and types of talent that people have, but it’s an accountability to each other, and it’s a mental and physical toughness that they become tougher as five than they were as one.”

So far, the coaching staff has been allergic to discussing individual players.

Webb is a question mark at left tackle, and he didn’t help his cause by being arrested downstate on drug charges that later were dropped.

Brown was a 2012 undrafted rookie who was the definition of raw, and Carimi’s career path is anyone’s guess at this point.

Kromer said he had success with starting rookies in the past and would be willing to do so again. He said he considered only a player’s on-field ability, not their college résumé.

“I don’t care where they came from,” Kromer said. “I don’t care what position we’re talking about. It doesn’t matter whether they got drafted in the first [round] or they were a college free agent. If they play and the produce, those are the guys you should play.”

When it comes to first impressions, Kromer earns high marks.

Like Trestman, he preaches the importance of teaching and developing players. And, like, Trestman, he easily can speak in detail about offensive strategy and blocking schemes.

But do you know who else was known as a no-nonsense coach who excelled as a teacher of offensive linemen?

That would be Mike Tice. We all know how that ended.

So the Bears’ new group of coaches will have to prove that they can make a difference.

And the Bears’ linemen will have to prove that they can play.

And, in the meantime, the rest of us will have to wait six more months for football.

CHICAGO – If anyone knows what a recent Marc Trestman offense looks like, it’s Pat Meyer.

Meyer, 40, spent last season working alongside Trestman as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach of the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League.

Eight days after the Bears hired Trestman as head coach in mid-January, Meyer followed his former boss south of the border as the Bears’ new assistant offensive line coach.

So, about that Trestman offense…

“Exciting. Up tempo.

Smart,” Meyer said. “All of those.”

Of course, none of that can happen without a reliable offensive line.

For the past few seasons, the offensive line has been the biggest trouble spot on the Bears. And by biggest, I don’t mean heaviest or hairiest or smelliest, although most of those descriptions also hold true for the team’s collection of 300-pounders.

Instead, unfortunately, I mean that the Bears’ offensive line has been the most disappointing, most frustrating, most glaring weakness of any position group on the team. It’s great to rank among the league leaders in most offensive team statistics, but back-to-back-toback top 10 finishes for most sacks allowed is not one of those desired categories.

It will be up to Trestman and his coaching staff to straighten out the line.

Can they accomplish that mission when so many other recent coaches have tried and failed? I think so, but it’s impossible to know for sure until the regular season kicks off next fall.

One thing is certain. It won’t be easy.

When we last saw the Bears, the offensive line consisted of J’Marcus Webb at left tackle, James Brown at left guard, Roberto Garza at center, Chris Spencer at right guard and Jonathan Scott at right tackle. Gabe Carimi had been bumped to a backup role because of inconsistent play,

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips this include you or someone you love?

Dear Abby: I married into a shopaholic family.

My husband and I live in a small home with our two young daughters. My biggest problem is my motherin-law. She has only two interests: eating and shopping. Good manners dictate that I graciously accept all her gifts, but I am sick to my stomach over the gross excess.

I think she has an addiction. She has stolen from me the joy of buying baby clothes for my children. My Christmas tree is decked with all the ornaments from my husband’s youth, and a massive dusty doll collection is coming our way.

Although my husband himself struggles with buying and collecting stuff, he agrees with me that less is better for our family. I would like to keep things simple, but it’s impossible with my in-laws. – Overload in Minnesota Dear Overloaded: People make purchases beyond that which is needed for various reasons. Sometimes it’s an attempt to buy love.

Other times it can be to ease anxiety or depression.

If you don’t draw the line and make your wishes clear, your mother-in-law will not stop what she’s doing. Explain that you are grateful for her generosity, but your house is FULL and therefore one or two gifts per child is all you will accept. Period.

Leave some of the Christmas decorations in storage next December so there will be room on your tree for some of your own. And when the doll collection is delivered, if your girls can’t use it, consider selling or donating it.

The Argyle Sweater

Dear Abby: I always knew high blood pressure ran in my family, but I never realized it could cause kidney disease. Then I attended one of the National Kidney Foundation’s free kidney health screenings and was shocked to learn that my lab results showed a decline in my kidney function.

Because I felt healthy, I hadn’t worried about my “borderline” hypertension.

Turns out, my kidneys were silently being damaged.

I have since made lifestyle changes to control my blood pressure and prevent further damage. These include daily exercise and cutting back on salt, sweets and fast food.

Kidney disease and its leading causes – high blood pressure and diabetes – run in families, and one in three American adults are at risk.

Many people don’t realize that early detection can make a critical difference, protecting the kidneys and preventing damage.

March is National Kidney Month, and March 14 is World Kidney Day. The National Kidney Foundation is urging Americans to learn their risk factors for kidney disease and to get their kidneys checked with a simple urine and blood test. They will offer more advice on protecting these vital organs and staying healthy. For a schedule of free kidney health screenings across the country, not only during March but throughout the year, visit the National Kidney Foundation website at kidney. org. – Jeff Carter, Buffalo, N.Y. Dear Jeff: I’m glad you wrote because I was taken aback to learn that more than 26 million American adults and thousands of children have chronic kidney disease.

Readers, it’s important to be checked because millions of people with diabetes, hypertension and other diseases do not realize they’re at risk for developing kidney disease. Could

The right thought at the right moment

SOLUTION

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, the Hungarian discoverer of vitamin C who won the Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine in 1937, said, “Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen, and thinking what nobody has thought.”

At the bridge table, doing well consists of seeing what everybody has seen, and thinking of the right play at the right moment. The hard part, of course, is having the winning idea pass into your consciousness.

In this deal, how should East plan the defense against four spades after West leads the heart nine?

When South rebid two no-trump to show a minimum balanced hand, North jumped to what he thought would be the best game contract. Note that three no-trump can be defeated after a club lead. When three aces are missing, the defenders have several entries, so they can usually get their long suit established and cashed.

South thought he had only three losers, the missing aces.

And that was all he lost when East took the first trick with his ace and played back a heart.

Declarer won on the board and drove out the spade ace. As the cards lay, he could not go down.

East hoped West had led a singleton, but that was impossible, because then South would have had four hearts and would have rebid two hearts, not two no-trump. East should have encouraged with his heart 10 at trick one. Then, when West got in with his spade ace, he would have led his second heart, received a heart ruff, and cashed his club ace for down one.

When drawing a conclusion, ask yourself if it is consistent with what has happened.
