Every once in a while, the Lake County Journal staff wonders what we should write about. We don’t have to wonder long, though, because Lake County is definitely a happening place.

So many folks are in-volved in worthwhile activ-ities, and they also partake in the great entertainment available right here.

Consider our lead story on ElderCARE. We found volunteers who have become close friends with folks who need their help. We also found a woman from Wild-wood who is working to save the Mineola Hotel in Fox Lake. We recorded in photos dance tryouts for the annual

Nutcracker Ballet held ev-ery year at Dancenter North in Libertyville. Youngsters and adults are busy and productive.

It’s a pleasure and an honor to share their stories, as well as to live in this great county. Keep sending us ideas and photos.

LOTTERY WINNER: ROSE WHITE

ROUND LAKE — Illinois lot-tery officials presented Round Lake resident Rose White with an oversized $1million check on Aug. 29.

“I nearly fell off my chair,” White said, after discovering that the numbers on her Power-ball Quick Pick ticket perfectly matched the first five numbers – 05 – 25 – 30 – 58 – 59 – (32) – in the Wednesday Aug. 7 drawing to win $1 million.

White was at home when she checked the winning numbers on illinoislottery.com.

“I must have read the date and the numbers on my ticket at least five times,” White said.

She paced up and down her driveway, she said, waiting for her husband to come home so she could tell him the good news.

White has been an occasional Powerball player since the in-ception of the game more than three and a half years ago.

“I buy a ticket here and there, especially when the jackpots are really large, and I like to buy Quick Picks,” White said.

She and her husband Dave have lived in Round Lake for 28 years. They have six children

and 16 grandchildren. “The kids are so happy for us,”

White said.Plans for the winnings include

sharing with their children, pay-ing bills, investing and “helping others.”

White bought her winning Powerball Quick Pick ticket at BP, 320 West Nippersink Road in Round Lake.

Illinois Lottery officials pre-sented BP an oversized check for $10,000 as a bonus for selling the winning ticket.

White will receive $700,000 after required state and federal withholding.

Quick Powerball was intro-duced in Illinois on Jan. 31, 2010. According to lotto officials, the overall odds of winning the jackpot are 1:175,000,000.

Drawings are at 9:59 p.m. every Wednesday and Saturday.

Powerball is played in 44 lottery jurisdictions across the country and the Jackpots start at $40 million.

By YADIRA SANCHEZ [email protected]

Sophie Michno will be 92 years old this Decem-ber. Soon she’ll be moving from her senior building in Grayslake to an assisted liv-ing center where she’ll have around-the-clock care.

For almost 15 years, she’s relied on her ElderCARE vol-unteer, Kathleen Paavilain-en, to help her with buying her groceries and cleaning up around her apartment.

After Michno moves, she’ll no longer need that type of aid. But since Paavilainen has become more than just a volunteer in Michno’s life, the two will continue to see each other. It’s a thought that makes Michno happy.

“She’s like my daughter now,” Michno said of her El-derCARE volunteer turned close friend. “I can’t believe she’s been with me for all these years.”

Many relationships like these have been developed through the ElderCARE pro-gram, which began in 1998 and works out of the Christ Episcopal Church in Wauke-gan.

ElderCARE director Jill Grubbs said many of the vol-unteers develop friendships with their care receivers. It’s that bond that makes the pro-gram work so well, she said. They have 350 volunteers from local congregations.

Through the program, the volunteers are matched to care receivers, who are 65 years and older and need a little help with tasks, such as getting groceries and put-ting them away and getting to medical appointments. The volunteers also provide friendly visits.

The care receivers live in northern Lake County. Vol-unteers live throughout the-county and beyond.

Michno said she not only appreciates her volunteer friend, but she also com-mends the program for the work it does in the commu-nity.

“It’s a very good organi-zation. Every volunteer is good; the men are perfect gentlemen and the women

are so kind, you can’t believe how much kindness there is in people,” Michno said.

Having friendly persons to take her to appointments made the decision to stop driving a little easier, she said, although it still was very difficult.

“I drove for 60 years,” Michno said. “I cried like a little baby when I gave up my car. It was like giving my child away.”

She’s spent holidays with Paavilainen and has felt loved and cared for all these years, she said.

“You can’t part with a per-son like that,” Michno said. “I talk to her about my life and she talks to me about her life … she’s my care giver and my friend.”

Grubbs said the program serves 450 care receivers a year. The friendly visits re-duce isolation and the trans-portation to doctors and grocery stores “are simple services that allow care re-ceivers to stay independent,”

she said.Anne Frost of Lake Forest

said the time she has spent as a volunteer to Myrtle Towne and her daughter Sharon Perini of North Chicago has taught her many lessons. She thinks she’s become a better person now that she under-stands the struggles some people endure.

Frost began her relation-ship with the mother and daughter when she started making volunteer friendly visits to Towne at their home in North Chicago.

Frost recalls that at first, they were both quiet and a bit reserved. Looking through Towne’s photo albums broke the ice.

“She started telling me about her family and I be-gan telling her about mine,” Frost said. Their bond grew from there.

Towne passed away three years ago but Frost contin-ued her work when Perini asked if she would then vol-unteer time with her.

“I could see how beauti-fully she handled my moth-er,” Perini said. “She’s just a loving, giving person.”

The two say their rela-tionship is one of sisterhood. Frost visits Perini once a week and when she does, she sits on the edge of Perini’s bed to have chats about ev-erything friends talk about when they get together.

“I do have the gift of gab,” Perini said.

The two have met each other’s families and even though Perini has many health problems that cause chronic pain, Frost said her friend manages to keep a good attitude about life.

“She has many ailments but she just keeps going. She appreciates everything,” Frost said.

Perini hopes any person who needs help with tasks around the house or just a little companionship can find their way to the Elder-CARE program so they, too, can have a friend like hers.

“She’s my personal an-gel,” Perini said. “There’s nothing that Anne hasn’t done for me.

Car show Sept. 7 tosupport ElderCARE

ElderCARE is hosting a Rides for Elders Car Show from 10 to 3 p.m. Sept. 7 at the Christ Episcopal Church in Waukegan. ElderCARE director Jill Grubbs said there will be food, dog agility demos and a hula hoop contest. This is the fourth event and registration for the car show is $15.

Grubbs said last year hun-dreds of people showed up and 45 classic cars registered.

LIFE

4GET TO KNOW: KATHY THOMAN, SAVE THE MINEOLA


It was a trip to the Fox Lake movie theater that ini-tiated Wildwood resident Kathy Thoman’s quest to save the Mineola Hotel in Fox Lake. The hotel was constructed in 1884 as the Mineola Club, a private club-house for members of the Chicago Board of Trade and their families. In May 2012, the village deemed it unsafe and closed it. It was during a hectic morning last summer, after it closed, that led her to have a talk with owner Pete Jakstas. As an architecture historian and owner of Char-acter Builders, a company that recycles material from soon to be demolished or ren-ovated buildings, Thoman is accustomed to working with old, decrepit buildings. But she was too late. It had been closed; its windows and doors boarded up.

What was it that made you want to work on saving the Mineola?

The fact that this building could be lost. It’s the last one of its kind from the resort era. It’s the only one that when you walk in, it looks just like it did back in the day. All the other ones have been torn down, turned into private homes or remodeled to the point where they don’t look like anything that use to be back in that era, so to lose the last one was heart break-ing for me. I don’t want that for me, for my kids or for the people of Fox Lake. So, I sat and thought about that all weekend, whether I wanted to or not, it was in my head just bugging me. By Monday [in June 2012] I had planned to save it.

Where are you in that process?

Well, it’s my first save so I’m learning as I go along. The most amazing thing we (Save the Mineola partner Rachel Lutz) got to do was go to Springfield for the an-nouncement that Landmarks Illinois put [the Mineola Ho-tel] on the most endangered list. It is one of the 10 most

endangered landmarks for 2013. That was quite an ex-perience, to look down at the senate floor where they make laws and to have a meeting in the senator’s office. It was really cool to bring my kids with me. We are a non-for -profit corporation and right now we’re in the middle of ap-plying for charitable status. The problem is it costs $800 to apply and if you screw up, that money is gone. It’s a big responsibility.

Are you working with the Jakstas family to save it?

On the board is myself, Rachel Lutz and Joy Hamm Scherer. There are 1,200 [peo-ple] that support it [through Facebook], but there are only about five people who are do-ing all the work. I’ve gotten to know the family very well and I’ve never seen a family work harder.

What’s been the reaction from people?

I hear a lot of stories and most people are so happy I’m doing this. People say to me, ‘You gotta save the Mineola,’ and then they start telling me all these stories of why.

What are some of the stories you’ve heard?

A man out of nowhere said to me, ‘my grandfather took my father and my father took me and then I took my son

there for his first drink.’A woman in her 80s told

me she remembers going to the Mineola with her hus-band to the Firefighter’s Ball and when she was a little girl she would go with her grand-mother who liked to play the slot machines. That’s what the Mineola was famous for, the slot machines. When her grandmother would win, all these nickels would come fly-ing down and she would try to catch them all with her dress.

People ask me about bring-ing back the fireworks but I tell them one thing at a time.

There are a couple differ-ent developers looking at the property right now. Land-marks Illinois has been in-strumental every step of the way. They sent an indepen-dent party to look at it and it was found structurally sound. They’re also talking to devel-opers on our behalf.

What is your relationship like with the new admin-istration of the Village of Fox Lake?

The new administration has been nothing but kind to us and have bent over back-wards to help us.

For example, we are plan-ning a rummage sale on Sept. 27 through 29 and I told them about it. At first they said businesses having out-door sales is prohibited but we worked together to find a loophole because we are a

non-profit.We have a Motorcycle

Poker Run on Oct. 19 and I really wanted to have it in the parking lot of the Mineo-la. The administration tried to help make that happen but because we no longer have a permit for the kitchen or the alcohol it couldn’t be. We’re having it at the Route 12 Grill and we’re so thankful to them. I don’t think anyone wants to be the administration who demolished the Lady of the Lake.

What is special about the hotel? Why should people try to save it?

It was built in 1884. I be-lieve that’s around the time when the Statue of Liberty was built. It was a favorite hangout of Al Capone. Pete (Jakstas) had a shelf in the bar with a lot of Al Capone memorabilia. It had a horse barn because guests got there by horse carriage. There was a lot of additional property. It has a lot of stories and a lot of history. It then became a pri-vate hotel and an extension was added for more rooms, that’s why the tower is off center. It was in the Howard family for a long time but I be-lieve at one point there were 14 owners in 16 years. By the time the Jakstas family bought it in 1943 it had a very bad reputation. The guy who brought the beer would not

even get out of the truck un-less he was paid first, which is not how that works. In 1979 it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

How can people help save the Mineola?

They can buy a T shirt from the website (www.savet-hemineola.org) or from the save the Mineola facebook page or call 847-750-6463. We have eight different designs and they’re $20. People can come to our events. If they have items to donate to the rummage sale, call me. If people can bake, bake some-thing for the rummage sale bake sale. Be a walking bill-board for the Mineola. At the rummage sale people can walk around the outside and see what they’re supporting. Maybe later we can give walk-ing tours of the outside, that may be the biggest fundrais-er we can do. Another really cool thing we’re trying to do is have Ghost Hunters or the Dead Files and Lake Coun-ty Paranormal come out. It would be amazing if the Mine-ola was on TV.

How much money will it take to save it?

I believe Landmarks Il-linois’s report said it would be $1.4 million just to get it up to par, but I would love to see a green renovation with solar panels where we don’t have an electric bill and geo-thermal heating and cooling, where we’re not paying a heating bill. When you have a 225-foot long wooden struc-ture, that’s a lot of upkeep.

What does it look like now?

Dark and damp and kind of scary. It has a large ballroom. There’s a big mural on the wall that someone painted of Fox Lake. There’s a bathroom at the end of the hall that guests shared and the rooms are as small as shoebox. That would change. It will have air conditioning and the rooms will have their own bathroom and be bigger. Some people have said to me that’s its too late for the Mineola, but was it too late for the Lehman Mansion or the Genesee The-atre? ... I don’t think so.

ber 11, 20135Business owners prepare for Gateway Project


ROUND LAKE – Business owners at the Mallard Creek shopping center in Round Lake are prepar-ing for the Rollins Road Gateway Project, which will make it more difficult for their customers to get into the parking areas. In November, Rollins Road could be closed for two weeks, but access to all businesses will remain, officials said.

The multi-million dollar project will put the in-tersection of Rollins Road and Route 83 below the railroad tracks and add more lanes. The project is estimated to cost $31 million and be completed by December 2014.

Some business owners at the Mallard Creek shopping center said they’re afraid when construc-tion starts in a few weeks, their patrons won’t know they’re open or won’t want to deal with the con-struction and will shop elsewhere.

Rosati’s Pizza owner Lou Baratta said he’s been there for 20 years but he’ll still put flags on the patch of grass in front of his store so people know he’s open. Getting to work doesn’t worry him as much as having his deliveries on time.

He’s starting to think about what he can offer costumers so he won’t lose them.

“Deliveries will be a headache but people will want their food delivered. I’m thinking I might have to waive the delivery fee,” Baratta said.

He doesn’t think there’s been enough informa-tion made available by the village about the project. He said the website is confusing and he doesn’t know when construction will start or end.

“The village should have meetings and send let-ters,” Baratta said.

Resident project manager Mark Molnar said a

community meeting was held July 31 and close to 500 people attended.

“People’s biggest concern was how long it would take and would Rollins be closed,” Molnar said.

Once the pre-stage construction, which involves utlity work, is over in a couple of weeks, Molnar said temporary lanes will be designated for traffic while construction is under way.

He added that a closure may happen here and there throughout the day once construction does start. Molnar said drivers need to pay attention to the road since signs will be changing as progress

is made.He suggests motorists visit www.rollinsroadgate-

way.com and sign up to get email alerts.Detour information will be available at the web-

site, and there will be signs on the streets.Al Giertych, assistant county engineer of the

Lake County Division of Transportation said, when the construction is done “the entire intersection of Rollins Road and Route 83 will be below the rail-road tracks.”

Two left turn lanes will also be added to Rollins Road along with one right turn lane.

The intersection will be 20 feet below the new Wisconsin Central Ltd. Railroad tracks. Traffic crossing the intersection will no longer have to wait for any of the 50 trains that pass through each day.

“Traffic stops so close to the intersection that it disrupts traffic signal flow,” Giertych said. “It takes about four to five cycles for flow to get up to optimal speed again.”

Giertych added that 24,000 vehicles travel across the tracks.

Antioch resident Jim Fransee said although the construction will cause some delays, the construc-tion is “long overdue because it’s a nightmare with the trains and the traffic jams.”

Janice and Dwayne Nicholson, who live across the street from the project, wanted to put their house on the market but their realtor suggested they wait until the construction of the Rollins Road Gateway Project is over, because it might affect the sale.

“I guess we’ll have to wait now,” Janice said. Dwayne added he hopes the project will include flowers pots and trees by the intersection to make the streets and neighborhood look nice.

Road construction signs are in place at Rollins Road and Route 83 where the intersection will be lowered and the railroad tracks lifted above traffic.

Mill Creek Watershed group works to improve water quality By JOHN ROSZKOWSKI

[email protected]

GRAYSLAKE - Improving water quality of local streams and lakes and reducing flooding are the goals of a new study being spearheaded by the Lake County Stormwater Management Commission.

The Mill Creek Watershed and Flood Mitigation Planning Committee has been meeting since Febru-ary to discuss ways to address water quality issues in Mill Creek and 10 inland lakes in the Grayslake, Gurnee, Lindenhurst and Old Mill Creek area.

The group is working to develop a master plan that can be used by county and local officials to im-prove water quality in the Mill Creek watershed, a 31-square mile planning area stretching from the southern end of Grayslake to Wadsworth.

“This is great because when it’s done we will have a master plan for the Mill Creek watershed that gives us a basis for future grant applications and resto-ration efforts,” said County Board member Steve Carlson, R-7th, of Gurnee, a member of the Storm-water Management Commission who serves on the planning committee.

The master plan’s objective is to “improve water quality, reduce flooding, protect natural resources, reduce and manage stormwater runoff and educate

the public on how we can achieve those goals,” said Patty Werner of the Lake County Stormwater Man-agement Commission.

Much of the plan will focus on Mill Creek, which begins near the landfill in Grayslake and runs north through Grayslake, Gurnee, Lindenhurst and Old Mill Creek, ending on forest preserve property near Wadsworth where it drains into the Des Plaines Riv-er. Several factors are impacting the water quality of the creek and contributing to flooding problems for nearby property owners, said Mike Prusila of the Stormwater Management Commission.

A recent inventory of the stream found shoreline erosion problems throughout the watershed as well as channelization in some areas. Creek flow also was being impacted by other factors such as fallen tree limbs and debris, beaver dams and manmade struc-tures such as old dams or culverts, Prusila said.

The master plan is also looking at ways to improve water quality in 10 lakes in the area that have been identified by the Illinois EPA to have issues. Some of the lakes being studied are Gages Lake, Grays Lake, Lake Miltmore and Third Lake.

The group is working on developing a list of goals and recommendations to improve water quality, reduce flooding and stormwater runoff and protect wildlife and natural resources.

Some of the group’s recommendations are rela-tively innocuous such as encouraging homeowners to plant rain gardens and bioswales to reduce wa-ter runoff from their yards. Others are more con-troversial. One of these is whether to ennact ordi-nances and standards requiring that sump pump and downsprout discharges be directed to lawns and gar-dens and infiltrated.

Werner said too often downsprouts empty onto driveways or other hard surfaces, causing excess water and pollutants to run into streams, lakes and storm sewers. Redirecting some of that water to natu-ral gardens or yards would reduce some of those neg-ative impacts and improve water quality, she said.

Werner said the group will not be finished with its work until next spring or summer and many of the recommendations are still preliminary. She said the plan and its recommendations eventually will have to be adopted by the Stormwater Management Commis-sion, the Lake County Board and local municipalities in the watershed study area.

More information about the plan is available on the county’s website at http://www.lakecoun-tyil.gov/Stormwater/LakeCountyWatersheds/De-sPlainesRiver/Pages/MillCreek.aspx.

Six Flags announces Goliath, new coaster

GURNEEE - In Six Flags Great America’s next season, park goers will have the op-portunity to conquer a giant named Goliath.

The roller coaster will break three world records as the fastest wooden roller coaster in the world and will feature the world’s tallest and steepest drop, Hank Salemi, park president announced Aug. 29 at the park.

Goliath will be located in place of the Iron Wolf roller coaster, which moved to an-other park two years ago. Go-liath will open sometime in 2014. The ride will feature a 3,100-foot track that travels 72 mph through two inversions, three over-banked turns, a 180-degree roll and a 180-foot drop that tunnels under-ground, Salemi said.

After Goliath is built, “Six Flags Great America will have more wooden coasters

than any park in the world,” he said.

Donna Stutzman, Gurnee resident, was at the park an-nouncement so she could pass the news along to her coast-er-crazed son.

Stutzman said Goliath’s 85-degree drop may make it a new favorite for her family. “We like the wood ones be-cause of the air time,” when hills make riders move up in their seats, she said.

“Wooden coasters seem to be a trend,” Stutzman said. “We were excited to go on Out-law Run this summer, a new wooden coaster in Silver Dol-lar City in Missouri, and we’re excited to see a similar ride in Gurnee. All of us got off [Out-law Run] saying it was the fastest one we ever rode, and Goliath might beat it. We’ll be in line when it opens.”

Local tailgate invention wins award

By HANNAH [email protected]

WAUCONDA - Dave Galatte was not expect-ing to win anything at his first trade show, IN-PEX (the Invention and New Product Exposi-tion) held in Pittsburg late this June, let alone the first place Grand Prix Award and cash prize of $7,500.

“We had some people telling us during the week, other inventors, that we would win,” Dave Galatte, the Vernon Hills inventor said. “We just thought they were being nice and com-plimentary.”

Galatte’s brother and business partner Tony Galatte of Wauconda was also there to share in the accolades. The brothers are selling the prod-uct online for about $3,000 at championtailgate.com.

While most tailgaters deal with having to force the buckets, grill and other necessary tail-gating items into their cars, the Tailgate Kitch-en uses a stainless steel, streamlined design to make packing and unloading simple. The Tail-gate Kitchen rolls out of a vehicle’s trunk.

At the expo, the Tailgate Kitchen wowed all across the board. Those who showed interest included manufacturers, other inventors, ven-ture capitalists and marketers, Dave said. “Win-ning the first [trade show], was not what we expected, but obviously we’re very excited that it happened.”

Dave, who used his family’s experiences as serious tailgaters to design and improve the Tailgate Kitchen, said he decided to sell it only after he realized that people would want to buy it.

“The first three years it was a hobby. We weren’t trying to bring it to market,” he said. “When people started asking where we bought it, we took it more seriously.”

Before the Tailgate Kitchen, Dave had never invented anything and worked in information technology. While he still works at his full-time IT job, his invention has been turned into an ac-tual business - called Champion Tailgate - since 2010. It was only when he and his wife tailgated at Purdue, his daughter’s college, that he real-ized the hardships involved in transport and setup.

“On the drive back,” Dave said, “my wife and I decided that we needed to make it a lot easier.” Thus the prototypes for the Tailgate Kitchen were born.

While the main market of the Tailgate Kitch-en is mostly Americans and tailgaters, inter-national interest at INPEX suggested to the Galattes that the invention would also appeal to campers. It is designed in particular for SUVs and pickup trucks, said Dave.

“Once [people] use it, they see how quickly it sets up - less than 10 minutes for the full tailgate, full-size grill. The way our system is designed, you don’t have to carry it. It wheels out.”

While the prize money will go back into the company, Dave said, winning the show has opened some doors, given them publicity and gotten companies and investors interested. “There is still a lot of work for bringing [the in-vention] out of the prototype where it is today,” he said.

Tony Galatte said they’re continuing to im-prove the product.

“I think it will be a work in process, just like any new product,” Tony said, “and we’ll be add-ing new accessory items to the product line. I’m sure we’ll think about new things as time goes on. [It’s an] evolution.

“When you’re creating something with no previous experience, it makes it tough. There’s a lot of work involved,” Tony said, mentioning that the use of stainless steel in the product was a particularly tough area for the brothers.

“You get frustrated and you do it again, and you do it again,” he said. The Tailgate Kitchen is the first invention he has worked on, although he defers most of the credit to his brother. “I have to give all the creative compliments to my brother Dave,” he said. “He’s the inventor. He’s the guy who designed it in his mind, and actual-ly brought it to life.”

Tony does not consider himself a big tail-gater. “I just believe in the idea,” he said of the Tailgate Kitchen, but added that he has been to about 30 to 40 tailgating events since.

Oftentimes, he said, “planning for tailgating takes a lot of work. Some people start their plan-ning days in advance.” His brother’s brainchild, he hopes, will relieve the stress put on those tailgaters as they pack and load their vehicles. “We think it’s awesome, since it’s our product,” he joked, “and since we won the award at the show, it showed us that other people think that it’s pretty cool, too.”

The brothers have big plans for the inven-tion. “One day, I hope we can sell [the Tailgate Kitchen] in your Home Depots or Lowes, or maybe specialty stores,” Tony said.

Seniors study iPadsBy YADIRA SANCHEZ OLSON

[email protected]

GURNEE — Tap and slide. Tap and slide.

In a nut shell, this is what William Simpson of Gurnee and 10 other seniors learned during an instructional iPad class held at the Warren Township Senior Center re-cently.

It was the perfect oppor-tunity for Simpson to get better acquainted with the new gadget he received for his 88th birthday in Febru-ary.

Like a kid with a new toy, “he plays with it every day,” said his daughter Gwen Bru-no.

With a tap, Senior Cen-ter technical specialist Alex Rossmann showed the group they can go onto millions of websites to shop and get information on virtually any subject, play movies or songs they download and even create photos.

With a slide of their fin-ger they could move from one screen to another, turn the page of a virtual book

and adjust the volume.Amazed faces looked back

at Rossmann during the two-hour class, but it was after he introduced the camera feature on the iPad that he got the most oohs, ahs and giggles from his audience.

Mary Jo Kollross of Gurn-ee was thrilled with the FaceTime feature on her iPad, which allows a two-way camera conversation to happen.

“Now, I can FaceTime with my daughter in Califor-nia,” Kollross said.

She added she appreci-ated Rossmann’s patience with the class, half of which was somewhat familiar with the device, the other half be-ginners.

After every step, Ross-mann made sure each stu-dent understood the process so he could go on to the next one.

Some of the s tudents looked a little overwhelmed a t t i m e s , w h i l e o t h e r s seemed as if they had found the Lost City of Atlantis,

Community works to improve kindergarten readiness

By LAKE COUNTY [email protected]

ROUND LAKE - Round Lake Area BEST (Bringing Everyone’s Strengths Togeth-er) is tackling the challenge of helping more kindergarten students in the Round Lake area to start school ahead of, instead of behind the learning curve.

BEST formed a kindergar-ten readiness committee to work on the issue.

C o m m i t t e e m e m -bers will be visiting local pedi-atrician offices in the coming weeks to educate these pro-viders about community re-sources and to encourage them to help identify toddlers and parents who can use extra support in developing the fun-damentals for life-long learn-ing.

BEST is a community coa-lition of individuals, organi-zation, businesses and local governments, which recently hosted its first kindergarten readiness committee event called Wake Up and Smell the Coffee.

The committee chaired by BEST Vice President J u d y A r m s t r o n g , o r g a -

nized the event that featured a panel of eight local experts including District 116 Super-intendent Connie Collins and Avon Township Clerk Jeanne Kearby. They presented the educational challenges in the Round Lake Area and then opened the format to an in-teractive conversation and brainstorming event.

Nick Heckel, principal at the Round Lake Area Early Education Center and panel participant said that out of 470 students enrolling at the early education center for kindergarten, 350 of them have not attended pre-school. Family economics likely plays a role in that statistic, said Wendy Warden, a board mem-ber of BEST. “There are not public (free) pre-schools in the Round Lake area,” she said.

Panel member Mere-dith Egan, United Way Lake County talked about its Suc-cess By Six program, which has been implemented in the Round Lake area. United Way said it has training and stipends available for Early Learning Clubs which will teach parents how reading to their toddlers and encourag-ing conversations about life’s

moments form the building blocks for learning in more formal ways.

Armstrong said she was encouraged by the committee event. “We have a foundation to build upon in the Round Lake Area that will lead to the success of our community and children,” she said.

T h e c o m m i t t e e a n d sub-committee work will continue during the next six months, engaging local pe-diatricians, building public awareness, recruiting com-munity partners and estab-lishing Early Learning Clubs.

The next committee meet-ing is set for Feb. 4, 2014. For more information, call Arm-strong at 847-691-6988.

So you want me to tell you what I think are the keys to the Bears’ 2013 season?

With so much that is new, and too much that is old on this club, we could fill a book with keys to this season. So let’s start right there.

1. Can Marc Trestman in his first turn as an NFL head coach take an aging group of veterans, plug in rookies and key youngsters to almost every unit, and install and execute his offense that, when compared to what the vets had before, will be like asking them to learn to speak a new language practical-ly overnight?

The classic excuse made for quar-terback Jay Cutler’s failure to produce relative to his unquestioned natural abilities is that in his first four years in Chicago, he had three different offenses

and three different coordinators. Wel-come No. 4. Why will this be different?

If Cutler blocks out everything but Trestman, and does exactly what he’s told, this just might succeed hugely. If he becomes distracted, frustrated, impa-tient, arrogant or any of the other states of mind he’s been accused of inhabiting before, look out below.

2. The offensive line is being celebrat-ed for it’s four new starters, including the two rookies – Kyle Long and Jordan Mills – on the right side. If they can make a leap from one of the worst units in the league over the past three seasons to just average, 2013 can be a ton of fun. If they can’t, none of what Trestman will try to do will work.

Newer is not always better. Clearly this group is more talented than it’s been in years with the additions of Jer-mon Bushrod and Long. But sometimes talent isn’t enough, and what we’ve actually seen so far is snippets of these guys against two of the worst defensive lines in the league – San Diego and Oakland. There is good cause to hope for

the best, but the jury is still way out on this one.

3. If you are more worried about the defense than the offense, you are justified. Julius Peppers, Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman are the keys to the success of this unit, and, quite simply, they are old by NFL standards. None appear in danger of dropping even half a step, and they can’t if the Bears are to contend.

Argue all you want about the phys-ical contributions Brian Urlacher was still able to bring to the table, his contri-butions as a coach on the field can’t be replaced. Israel Indonije was the second best defensive lineman on the team. Nick Roach was solid in his spot and Urlacher’s, when necessary, and Kelvin Hayden at least knew what he was doing as the nickel back. Regardless of how you replace all of that, it represents so

much that your all-pros have to be all-pros for the defense to succeed.

4. The early returns on Trestman are promising, and I’m very impressed by what I’ve seen so far.

But the reason his hiring was such a surprise around the league and even a tad controversial in some circles is that this guy’s a different kind of cat, and not what any of us are used to in an NFL head coach.

Because of his pleasant personality and professorial approach, we have no idea how it will wear or work when the time comes for him to get tough with someone, and it will happen. If he has to rally the troops or try and win one for the Gipper, will the players be listening, and, if they are, will it be with a straight face.

I’m beginning to believe he can do it, but there’s still a lot of highway between here and there.

5. Every team in the NFL prays for good health, as do all of us as fans. For the Bears, it is an absolute must if they’re going to contend.

By J.C. TALON Fantasy Football Columnist

Our drafts are over. Week 1 of the NFL – and fanta-sy football – season is upon us.

You’re fairly happy with your team. The starters at most of your positions are no-brainers. But there are a couple that are tough decisions.

Here’s where I might be able to help:

MATCHUPS TO EXPLOIT

Oakland at Indianapolis, noon SundayThe Raiders’ starting defense looked – how shall we

say this? – COMPLETELY AWFUL against the Bears in preseason game No. 3, the only one that matters. But the Colts do have plenty of uncertainty at running back.

Free agent Ahmad Bradshaw had offseason foot surgery and has been rehabbing, and, let’s face it, Vick Ballard isn’t scaring anyone.

Even though the Indy offense might be one-dimen-sional early in the season, there’s no reason to think the Raiders’ defense can take advantage.

Quarterback Andrew Luck and wide receiver Reggie Wayne are obvious starts, but you might also consider playing receiver T.Y. Hilton and tight end

Coby Fleener as well.

Philadelphia at Washington, 6 p.m. MondayThe Eagles’ defense allowed 27.8 points per game

last season, tied with the Jacksonville Jaguars for third most in the NFL. After firing Andy Reid, the longest-tenured head coach in the NFL, who did they go out and get?

Former Oregon Ducks head coach Chip Kelly, considered an offensive genius by many, but not noted for his defensive innovations. That bodes well for op-posing offenses, and fantasy owners with players from Philly opponents.

Even though Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III is coming off an injury, and saw no action in the

preseason, don’t be afraid to play him in this matchup. There might be a slight risk, but the potential upside is huge.

And even though Pierre Garcon, coming off a torn ligament in 2012, wasn’t among anyone’s list of top 30 fantasy receivers heading into 2013, start him in Week One in this matchup.

Running back Alfred Morris and tight end Fred Davis are no-brainers. If you own either of them, make sure they’re in your lineup.Houston at San Diego, 9:15 p.m. Monday

Running back Arian Foster has a back injury that could bother him all year, but this should be a good matchup for him. The Chargers don’t look very good on defense.

Quarterback Matt Schaub, not necessarily a fantasy stud the past couple of years, and Andre Johnson also have favorable matchups. This should be a bounce back year for both.

Don’t be surprised if the Texans, on the cusp of great things last season, are a little more aggressive on offense this season after playing conservatively in recent years.

If you’re pressed for a running back and own Ben Tate, you might want to play him even though he’s not expected to start. With Foster’s injury, Tate will get some carries, including possibly on the goal line.

with complete elation at their new iPad skills.

“There are hundreds of thousands of applications you can download,” Ross-mann said to the class.

While they sat in their seats with either their own iPads, those provided by the senior center or lent by School District 56, the se-niors watched attentively, puzzled at times, as Ross-mann navigated through all the characteristics of the iPad on a projected image on the wall, which he manipu-lated with his fingers.

Games, movies,YouTube, weather from anywhere in the world, Wi-fi and email, Rossmann tried to touch on everything the device can offer.

The class got a good laugh when Simpson, whose email was already set up by his

family, accidentally shot off an email to a relative he said had been dead for some time.

Peggy Sommerlade of Gurnee said she had gone to an eye appointment previ-ously and mentioned to the doctors she would be attend-ing the iPad lesson.

“They said to me, ‘More power to you,’” Sommerlade said.“I think I’m going to go ahead and buy one soon, then I can amuse myself.”

USO welcomes volunteersBy CASSANDRA DOWELL

[email protected]

GREAT LAKES - Michele Cerer has just two rules for those visiting the United Ser-vice Organization building at Naval Station Great Lakes – say please when asking for something and walk through the door with a smile.

Cerer, volunteer staff with the USO of Illinois at Naval Station Great Lakes, said she loves interacting with Navy recruits, active duty and base staff members throughout her weekend shifts.

The USO is a nonprofit or-ganization that while not a part of the U.S. government, is recognized by the U.S. De-partment of Defense and other branches and offers a safe recreational space for service men and women and their families. USO branches are located throughout the country and internationally where U.S. military men and women are stationed. Ninety percent of the military men and women the Great Lakes USO serves are junior sailors at Naval Station Great Lakes who are attending military speciality schools.

Ellen McElligott, Great

Lakes USO center director, said volunteers must under-go training and a background investigation, which is con-ducted by Naval Station Great Lakes. Anyone over the age of 18 is welcome to apply to volunteer, and those younger than 18 must be accompanied by a guardian.

Volunteers “do everything from preparing meals, run-ning the media room, putting on movies and general main-tenance, like taking the gar-bage out,” McElligott said. “Our motto is home away from home.”

Derek Craig, active duty, was enjoying a day off Aug. 17 with other service members while James Lindley, active duty, played tunes on a piano.

“It’s a nice atmosphere,” Craig said. “It’s opening.”

For Blake Borges, active duty, it’s all about “the food.”

Food items, such as hot dogs, cookies and more are all free for those on the base who stop by.

The USO depends on do-nations to support its ame-nities and activities, such as No Dough Dinners – free hot meals offered year-round, which also attract military spouses and their children who have a parent overseas. And, on Sunday mornings, base members are treated to a home-cooked breakfast. Cerer makes sure to pick up choco-late chips the night before for chocolate chip pancakes.

“Everybody just loves them,” Cerer said, adding that 400 to 450 base members usu-ally stop by.

The building offers places to lounge, pool tables, video

game systems, computers, TVs and a kitchen and dining area. The goal, said Cerer, is to give all of those who stop by an opportunity to relax and have fun. The USO build-ing even features a kids play room, stocked with Disney movies, stuffed animals and other toys for those military or staff members with young children.

Cerer, of Twin Lakes, Wisc., grew up as a self-de-scribed “Army brat” and has a 19-year-old son serving with the U.S. Navy. She became involved with the USO while her son was stationed at Na-val Station Great Lakes.

The USO is more than just a place to hang out – it’s a place to feel welcome and sup-ported, she said.

“The camaraderie here is awesome,” she said. “They think of this place as their home. A few of them call me mom. They’re really a great group [of men and women]. I make them special things, sometimes chocolates.

“A lot of these guys and

girls don’t have family to sup-port them. This is a hard time, going through basic training. We run on donations and vol-unteers.”

Cerer said some service members are surprised to learn about the USO, and she hopes more on base take ad-vantage of what it has to offer.

“When they walk in for the first time, they’re like, ‘Wow, this is like Christmas,’” she said.

For Wayne Maczko, an Army veteran and volunteer at the USO, being able to meet military members and offer a listening ear is his way of giv-ing back.

His mother served as a USO volunteer in World War II and his father fought in World War II.

When Maczko, of Round Lake Beach, isn’t busy mak-ing coffee, cleaning up or help-ing with other chores, he’s chatting with the men and women who walk through the USO’s doors.

“I look forward to [volun-teering] every week,” Maczko said.

Maczko can relate to what what many servicemen and women are going through. He was stationed in Germany during the Vietnam War.

“When I went to Germany, I was responsible for a whole platoon of vehicles. I was lead mechanic. Here I am 18 years old and I’m driving a 27-ton

vehicle,” he said, adding that many of the service people he chats with are young and have a great deal of responsibility.

“I get to thank everybody for serving, and when they see me with my Army stuff they say, ‘Thank you, sir.’

“We’re all brothers in arms,” he said.

The annual migration of the monarch butterflies from Illinois to Michoacan, Mexico, is the inspiration for a festival that drew 1,000 people last year to the heart of Waukegan.

The Lake County Monarch Festival, scheduled 1 to 4 p.m. Sept. 8, is dedicated to raising awareness about nature, art and culture in the community. The event will be held outside the Waukegan Public Library, 128 N. County St. This year’s theme is Migration to Good Health with a focus on healthy living through physical activ-ity.

Programming manager Rena Morrow said the library partners with local organiza-tions and businesses who are also interested in providing the community with nature and culture. Included are Vista Health, Lake County United, the Latino Coalition and the Waukegan Park District.

Children who attend will get a passport and activity book on the monarch butterfly and have a chance to make their own migration through eight booths with activities such as hula hooping and dancing.

At the end of their destina-tion, they’ll have the oppor-tunity to take their stamped passport and exchange it for raffle tickets for varied prizes, which include Great America and Chicago Fire passes and memberships to gyms and mu-

seums.“Everything is free except

the four or five food vendors,” Morrow said. “It’s just a fun event for families.”

Other activities include henna tattoos, a farmers mar-ket, a climbing wall, dancers from local cultural groups and zumba and skateboarding demonstrations.

A Rosalind Franklin Uni-versity Health System med-ical coach will also offer free school sports physicals along with cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure tests for families.

Elizabeth Stearns, assis-tant director of community services for the library, helped create the annual festival, which started as a research project with funding from The Field Museum, the Friends of Ryerson Woods and the Lake County Forest Preserves.

“ T h e y r e c o m m e n d e d Waukegan be a hub for nature and culture in the communi-ty,” Stearns said.

She added that every year she sees more local entrepre-neurs participating in the fes-tival.

“This is a good thing for a city to cultivate,” Stearns said.

She added the monarchs represent this area well be-cause butterflies freely cross borders. Monarch butterfly numbers have been declining due to climate change and loss of habitat, according to a li-brary press release. For more information, call 847-623-2041.

SeeingItThrough

Look beyond statistics toward human issuesJohn S. Matijevich

When I served in the legislature, I found out quickly that on a great num-ber of issues, the finality of the matters would turn on which side worked the hard-est, usually with influence, on the issues.

It was a fact that money matters can be complex and boring, so many legislators find little time to analyze them.

It always amazed people when I told them that in the closings days of sessions when state budgets were de-bated and passed, very little discussion is done.

That’s because the vol-ume of dollars don’t always mesh ways in which the appropriations are being spent. Once in a while a leg-islator raises a pet issue

involving uses of the floor to advocate his interest. But, by the time the huge spending makes it toward final action, it’s so cut and dried, that the bills usually sail out of the legislature.

Having served as chair-man of an appropriation committee, I did find, how-ever, that it is important to tie the bind between what is needed to be done, and what it costs to do it.

So, I have learned that many boring statistics,

if you dig deep enough, can have enlightened side effects.

Let me give you an ex-ample of one statistic I read recently that caught my attention that there had to be much more behind it.

The statistic was that about 96,000 homeowners had their foreclosure-abuse issues settled because of “clerical errors.”

My first thought was that if that many homeown-ers were involved with legal matters with their mortgage banks, how many more clerical errors were swept under the rug and how many financial institutions escaped any liability.

The most amazing part of the settlement was that these homeowners were

underpaid at an amount totaling almost $45 million dollars.

Let’s face it. When people are trying to get a home mortgage loan, the paper trail is over their heads and they place complete trust in the financial institution authorizing the loan.

The foreclosure crisis that the country endured has proved that much of that trust in banks was mis-placed, and many innocent people lost their homes in the process.

Many banks will allege that they, too, lost big time, in the mortgage meltdown. Whatever losses that the banks suffered were of their own doing.

They were approving loans to applicants who

didn’t have the capability of satisfying the loan terms.

The banks knew that, and the rest, unfortunately, is history.

The lesson learned here is that statistics are more than numbers.

Behind those numbers can be important, some-times troubling, human issues that deserve further investigation.

Proof of that is that the whole foreclosure fiasco has never received the full and final scrutiny in how the country’s fiscal crisis devel-oped and so many innocent victims lost their hopes to recover from it.

John S. Matijevich served in the Illinois Legislature from 1967 to 1992.

Borcia case needs closure

No one goes out boating on a summer afternoon and anticipates losing their 10-year-old son. But that is what happened to the Borcia family on Petite Lake last year. Jim Borcia’s son Tony got killed by a boat driver under the influence of cocaine and alcohol. This is horrific. The driver of the boat pleaded guilty of having cocaine and alcohol in his system and striking the boy. He manned up to his respon-sibility, and the justice system sentenced him to 10 years in jail. For all practical purposes his life is ruined. Now the parents of the victim have lawsuits pending against the driver and passenger, and most recently the rental boat company and the Fox

Waterway Agency. This is a frivolous action. They claim that the boat rental operator should have in-formed him of the danger in Petite Lake. Would a warning have stopped them from renting the boat, taking their coolers, swimsuits and tubes and returning home? Admit-tedly, the Borcia family may have a valid case for limiting boat sizes, speed limits or specific areas for tubing, but these should be addressed by the proper authorities not the courts. They have already used their influence on state lawmakers to pass breathalyzer legislation. A prolonged court battle will force them to relive that haunting afternoon and interfere with the grieving process. –Joe Guarise, Fox Lake

Sometimes the generation gap is too wide to bridge

Judi Veoukas

My third-grad-er granddaughter has an assign-ment, “Interview your grand-mother to learn what her first day

of kindergarten was like.”

I can’t help but overhear granddaughter Emma question her mother as she drops her off at my house for the q and a. She says, “Do you think that Grandma Judi can actually remember?”

“I think,” her mother says, “that her short-term memory is shot, but her long-term one is amazing, whether anyone wants it to be or not.”

My granddaughter gets her iPad out of her backpack and says to me, “Let’s get started.”

“You have an iPad? You’re 8,” I say.Emma looks at me in that way kids do when

their elders ask ridiculous questions.“Let’s get on with the interview,” she says.

“On your first day of kindergarten, did you have cupcakes at treat time like we did?”

“You go to a school that still allows cup-cakes?” I ask, shocked.

“Grandma, I was in kindergarten ages ago. They’ve changed it to junky little toys these days because of allergies. NOW will you answer my

question?”“Well, I remember coming into the kinder-

garten room with my mother and looking at all these kids I’d never seen before. And there was this old lady standing near the blackboard. I’m pretty sure that then I threw myself on the floor and screamed, `Never leave me, Mommy.’”

“Did she stay?”“No, she told the old lady at the blackboard

that she was a neighbor doing a favor for my real mother and ran out of the room.”

“I assume the old lady was the teacher,” Emma says. “Did she comfort you?”

“She put her arms around me and said, `There, there.’”

“That was sweet, Grandma. Did she remind you of your own grandma?”

“Yes. They both smelled like moth balls.”“Then what happened?”“A boy named Curtis bit me.”“Did the teacher call the nurse?”“No, the teacher assured me Curtis was not

rabid.”Emma sighs. “Tell me what you learned in

kindergarten that first day.”“I learned not to go near Curtis.”Now my granddaughter rolls her eyes and

looks at her iPad notes.“Do you have a paper from your first day?

Mom says you save everything. She says you’re a

. . . ,” she stops and ponders, ‘boarder.’”I think to myself that Emma could have

turned the word “hoarder” into much worse, and retrieve my kindergarten scrapbook.

On page one is a drawing marked, “Judi’s First Day of Kindergarten Artwork.” It’s a stick figure with four legs.

“Is that a table?” Emma asks.“It’s a dog! Can’t you see the little head?”Emma studies the picture carefully. “No,” she

says.“Well, it must have worn away over the

years,” I say, my voice rising in frustration.“Want to see my Day 1 kindergarten assign-

ment?” she asks. “It’s on my first-generation iPad.”

She pulls it out of her backpack.“Oh, Emma,” I say, “you made a drawing of

numerals. How neat!”“It’s an algebraic equation,” Emma says. I

hear “duh” under her breath.“I’m so sorry, Emma,” I tell her. “I never

heard of algebra until I got into high school. I should have known things have changed.”

Emma puts her arms around me and says, “There, there, Grandma.”

I wonder if I smell like moth balls.

Award-winning columnist Judi Veoukas writes from her Lake Villa home.
