Batavia Green Fair providestips for healthy, safe living

By ERIC [email protected]

BATAVIA – Those stoppingby Just Food Initiative’s boothon Saturday at the Green Fair onthe Fox learned about the dan-gers of corn syrup.

“It’s a substitute for nutri-tion,” said Shar Johnson-Dun-lop, a board member for the Bat-avia-based Just Food Initiative.“It is used to put taste in foodthat doesn’t have taste. It’s a sub-stitute for getting real food.”

Just Food Initiative was justone of the groups represented atthe Green Fair, designed to raiseawareness about sustainable liv-ing, physical fitness and healthyliving. The event – put on Bata-via MainStreet, the Batavia ParkDistrict, city of Batavia and theBatavia Environmental Com-mission – previously was knownas Batavia Green Walk.

The nonprofit group, formedin 2009, tries to educate consum-ers on how they can make health-ier food choices, such as growingone’s one own food and avoidinggenetically modified food.

“We are trying to restorequality and equality to the foodsystem,” said Christine Stevens,executive director of Just FoodInitiative.

Information about the pro-posed Green Tomato Groceryalso was passed out during TheGreen Fair. Plans are to createa cooperative grocery store inBatavia that would focus on pro-viding whole, organic food thatis locally produced.

Those who would like to learnmore about the co-op and GreenTomato Grocery can visit www.greentomato.coop.

Elmhurst couple Todd andCathy Adams were also at theGreen Fair talking about theirZen Parenting Radio station.

“We’re empowering parentsto be better parents,” Todd Ad-ams said. “What kids need morethan anything these days aregood role models.”

‘IT’S A VERY

GOODCAUSE’

By CHARLES [email protected]

ELGIN – Vera Milwee ofCarpentersville said there wasalready a large crowd Satur-day on the Elgin CommunityCollege campus when she ar-rived there at 6 a.m.

Milwee, her daughter andher granddaughter, both ofHanover Park, filed into aline that snaked around theside of the college’s SpartanEvents Center, 1700 SpartanDrive, to a bus stop. When theyemerged from the buildingabout 4.5 hours later, they hadfour backpacks, one each forthe granddaughter and threegrandsons.

“It’s a very good cause,”Milwee said. “I wish morecommunities would do some-thing like this.”

Milwee’s family took fourof the 2,800 backpacks donatedfor Project Backpack, whichis an initiative to distributeschool supplies to local fam-ilies on a first-come, first-served basis. The first family

arrived at 8:15 p.m. on Fridaybut the center did not open un-til 9 a.m. Saturday, said KatieStorey, the college’s StudentLife Coordinator and leader ofProject Backpack.

The event on Saturdayhelped hundreds of familieswithin Elgin Community Col-lege District 509 boundaries,which includes a part of St.Charles School District 303.Families were required at theevent to provide proof of res-idency or school enrollmentwithin the college’s boundar-ies.

The program, in its fifthyear, continues to serve an in-creasing number of families,Storey said. School districthomeless liaisons told her onSaturday that there are about

1,000 homeless students inDistrict U-46 and about 300 inDistrict 300. There are about40,000 students total in thosedistricts who qualify for thefree and reduced lunch pro-gram, Storey said.

About 75 volunteers onThursday helped fill the back-packs with supplies, and morethan 100 volunteers on Sat-urday were on hand to assistduring the actual event, in-cluding brothers Taylor andBryan Lantz, both 23, of Elgin.

The Lantzes hauled pilesof backpacks onto tables sofamilies could pick them upas they entered one of the cen-ter’s rooms. The brothers saidthey understand why so manyfamilies come to Project Back-pack because they had to wait

in line at similar distributionevents when they were young-er.

“We were here to take ad-vantage of them; now there’s noreason not to give back,” Tay-lor Lantz said.

Bryan Lantz agreed with hisbrother and said the smiles onstudents’ faces when they gettheir backpacks are priceless.

Storey said the event isabout more than just back-packs. One of the center’s gymswas host to 24 separate agen-cies ready to talk to familiesand hand out materials, includ-ing a bag of lunch and dinnergoods from the Northern Illi-nois Food Bank.

Diana Hernandez of Stream-wood was not aware there wasgoing to be so many differentgroups at the event. She pickedup information from Adminis-ter Justice, a nonprofit charita-ble legal aid organization, andher three siblings picked upbackpacks with supplies.

This was the first time theHernandez family participatedin Project Backpack. Hernan-dez said this is what her fam-ily needed because her fatherwas recently laid off from hisconstruction job and they arestruggling to pay bills.

“This is a really great pro-gram to get the basic materialsthey need,” she said.

Tougher Bob Leonard River Run races onBy JARED [email protected]

ST. CHARLES – Changesthat made the races more chal-lenging in Saturday’s Eight An-nual Bob Leonard River Runand Walk did not deter runnersfrom competing in the events.

The 5K course was changedto make it more difficult and a10K race was added. Race offi-cials had to close walk up reg-istration for the two runningevents because they ran out ofracing bibs and timing chips.

“Today we had so manywalk-ins that we ran out ofbibs,” said Julie Farris, presi-dent of CMF Events, the com-pany that managed the races.“Based on the bibs and basedon the amount of the attendees,this was the largest event todate that the Bob Leonard Riv-

er Run and Walk has done.”Ninety-three chipped run-

ners competed in the 10K and157 ran in the 5K.

Runners agreed that the 10Kcourse, which started in Pot-tawatomie Park, crossed theFox River and winded its wayto Randall Road before return-ing to the park, was taxing.

“I would say the switchesthey put in there about milefour [was the hardest part ofthe course],” 10K male winnerMatt Sagan said. “It was up anddown and a big hill right in themiddle. It was a pain.”

Sagan, a senior on the Riv-erside-Brookfield High Schoolcross country team, finishedwith a time of 37:53.05. Hisyounger brother, Jack, tookthird, crossing the finish linein 39:55.85.

“This [race] is more for me

and my brother. This is likeour preseason training,” saidthe older Sagan. “Our seasonstarts on Wednesday.”

Farris said most of the 5Kcourse remained the same asin the past.

“We changed it a little bit insections with stairs and mak-ing it a little more difficult,”Farris said. “The 10K was anexpansion of the 5K run – a lit-tle more rugged, a little morechallenging.”

“I was expecting to run onroad and pavement so thatwas demanding,” said DavidPhelps, a St. Charles residentwho took fifth place in the 10Kmale division and first in the40-49 male category. “Runningin the grass and the switchbackin the hills, I wasn’t expectingthat this year.”

Elburn resident and North-

ern Illinois University dancestudent Jessica Lewis said shewas surprised at all the hills.

“It was very challengingbecause I expected a very flattrack,” said Lewis, who camein third in the 20-29 femalegroup in the 10K.

Rounding out the top threemale 10K winners was MattBaker (38:15.32) from Polo.

Oswego resident StephanieJohnson finished first in thefemale 10K division. She com-pleted the circuit in 40:06.78.Sue Russell of DeKalb tooksecond (45:14.22) and Bartlett’sGrace Churney finished third(46:48.99).

Stephanie Howe, 13, of Ge-neva took top honors in thefemale division of the 5K racewith a time of 20:01.13.

Howe, who will be aneighth-grader this fall, did not

like the addition of stairs to thecourse.

“It’s kind of hard to go upand down and do it fast,” shesaid.

Emily Belanger, also of Ge-neva, took second in the 5Kfemale division (22:24.44). BethDaniel, from Tullahoma, Ten-nessee, came in third (22:44.59).

Top 5K honors in the maledivision went to Matt Rolain ofRochester, Michigan (17:43.31);James Myal of St. Charles(19:37.60) and Dan Roder of El-gin (20:05.83).

The event is named in hon-or of the late Bob Leonard, aSt. Charles resident who wasinstrumental in starting theRiver Corridor Foundation ofSt. Charles. The organization’sgoals are to enhance, protectand beautify the Fox River inSt. Charles.

Runners compete Saturday during the Bob Leonard River Run in St. Charles.

By STEVE [email protected]

DeKALB – When he’s pre-paring for a Northern Illinoisfootball game, Mike Valentinewants to be able to stare at thewall in the locker room beforethe contest.

Valentine , NIU’s sec -ond-year equipment manager,arrives at Huskie Stadium atleast six hours before a homegame, and five or six hours be-fore the contest when the teamis on the road.

Valentine is making sureeverything is set up, whetherit’s putting the jerseys on theplayers’ shoulder pads, or tak-ing care of little things suchas wristbands or quarterbacktowels.

In a perfect world, every-thing will be good to go in ad-vance, so Valentine can havethe pleasure of staring at thewall.

“That means we’re goodto go,” Valentine said. “Mystudents think I’m crazy, butthere’s so many times wherewe’ve showed up and [the as-sistants] are like, ‘Oh Mike,we’ve got to get this done andtaken care of.’ We’ve got tobuild ourselves more time. I’dalways rather have more timethan be hurrying at the end.”

When the game starts, Val-entine, who got his start work-ing in the baseball clubhouseof the Triple-A Indianapo-lis Indians, is taking care ofthings such as chin strap ad-justments, bent facemasks andnew shoes. Although havingto put on a new facemask ina quick amount of time so theplayer can get back on the fieldcan be tough, to Valentine,game days are the easy part.

These days during trainingcamp, Valentine arrives oncampus around 6 or 6:30 a.m.He walks through the lockerroom, makes sure the laundryis passed out, fixes helmets,adds face shields and takescare of any new equipment aplayer may need.

He also is starting to plan

for the first game, making

sure jerseys, socks and shoes

are ready to go for the season

opener Aug. 28 against Presby-

terian.

An added wrinkle equip-

ment managers have faced

over the years is the number of

uniforms teams have. Instead

of having to worry about home

and away gear, this year’s

Huskies have five uniforms

– the red home, road white,

alternate black, “Dark Dog,”

and the Cornfest uniforms that

were unveiled last week.

“It has absolutely blown

up. It’s amazing,” Valentine

said. “I think back when I was

at other schools like Tulane,

we had green pants and white

pants, a white jersey and a

green jersey and a white hel-

met.”

When practice begins, he’s

following NIU coach Rod Car-

ey around, supervising his two

assistants and 12 students who

help him out.

Valentine, who was the as-

sistant equipment manager

at Arizona before arriving at

NIU, had only four students

helping him when he arrived,

but ended up getting the added

help after putting word out on

Twitter and Facebook.

“I have great students,” he

said. “I put all the faith and

trust in them in the world.”

When practice ends, it’s

back to the equipment room

to take care of any problems

players might have, doing pa-

perwork, ordering any equip-

ment that needs to be ordered.

He usually is out of the build-

ing around 9:30 or 10 p.m.

The Huskies will host Pres-

byterian in less than a month,

in what Valentine calls an

easy day.

“When the player runs out

of the tunnel, when they’re out

on the field, from head to toe I

just make sure that they have

everything that they need,”

Valentine said. “We, can’t say

I, we make sure they have ev-

erything that they need.”

14Parents can prevent kids

from being left in carsDear Abby: It disturbs

me greatly that we keepreading about parentsleaving their childrenin cars, whether it beabsentmindedness, stressor downright intentional.It needs to stop.

I’m hoping car man-ufacturers can come upwith an idea – maybe asensor that once the doorsare closed and locked,should there be motion ora sound in the vehicle, thewindows would auto-matically open, giving apasser-by a chance to seeinside and maybe save aprecious life. – FrustratedBy “Premature” Angels

Dear Frustrated: Youare not the only one whois disturbed by theserecent tragedies. Theyare on the minds of a lotof people lately. Today’smail brought a suggestionfrom another reader whois hoping to put an end tothe loss of these fragileyoung lives. A motherin Westland, Michigan,offered this:

Dear Abby: I have asuggestion for parents.TALK to your childrenwhen they are in the carwith you. I always carriedon a conversation, sang orcounted to my kids, evennewborns, and continuedthrough the years theywere rear-facing andforward-facing. It helpedthem to learn their ABCs,count, and even knowwhere streets were.

It was also a runningreminder that someonevery special was withme. I never listened tothe radio, unless it wasnursery rhymes on DVDor toddler songs. It notonly helped me teach mychildren, but it also madedriving fun and safe forthe tiny passengers in mycar. – D.W.K.

Dear Readers: A non-profit group called Kid-sAndCars suggests thatparents “place somethingthey will need (whenexiting the vehicle), suchas a cellphone, handbag orbriefcase, near the child

in the back seat. Or keepa large stuffed animal inthe child’s car seat whenit’s not occupied. Whenthe child is in the car seat,place the stuffed animal inthe front passenger seat asa reminder that the childis in the back.

“And tell the child’sday care center or babysitter that they willalways be called if yourchild isn’t coming in asscheduled. If the child isabsent without an ex-planation, the day carecenter or baby sitter isexpected to contact a par-ent or another designatedcaregiver.”

I would not recommendan automatic device be-cause it could fail.

Dear Abby: I am friendswith a couple who havebeen married for threeyears. I have workedwith the wife since beforetheir wedding. The wifeis overtly sexual towardme and has cheated on herhusband with many menduring the last year.

I’ll be changing jobssoon and think the hus-band should know whathis wife has been doing.Should I send him ananonymous letter? Tellhim in person? Or let himfind out for himself in thefuture? – Troubled FriendIn Detroit

Dear Troubled: Becausethe woman is “overtly”sexual with you, it’s likelythe husband already hasan inkling.

Whether you decide totell him his wife is cheat-ing with multiple mendepends on whether YOUwould want to be told. Butthis I can tell you emphat-ically: This informationshould not be conveyed inan unsigned letter from a“friend.”

Count your tricks,not your losers

When you are in a trumpcontract, you start by countinglosers. But on some deals (Iestimate around 20 percent), youdo better to count winners. So,in an ideal world, you count bothbefore playing from the dummyat trick one.

South is in five clubs. Whatshould he do after West leads thespade king?

North’s double was negative,promising four hearts. South’stwo-spade cue-bid was an artifi-cial game-force. Then probablyeither South should have bidthree no-trump over three clubs,or North should have cue-bidthree spades over three diamondsto ask his partner to bid three no-trump with a spade stopper.

Note, though, that to makethree no-trump, declarer mustwin four club tricks. And afterhis ace drops West’s jack, thepercentage play is to finesse Eastfor the queen.

In five clubs, though, Southcan get home without guessingthe trump suit. Suppose he winsthe first trick with his spade aceand cashes his two top trumps.Now he must collect these 11tricks: one spade, two hearts, twodiamonds and six clubs.

Declarer cashes his topdiamonds, ruffs a diamond inthe dummy, takes the heart aceand king, trumps a heart in hishand, and ruffs his last diamond.That is 10 tricks in. And whenSouth leads dummy’s last heart,he must collect one more trumptrick with his nine via a coup enpassant. If East ruffs low, Southoverruffs; if East ruffs with hisqueen, South discards a spade los-er and his club nine is then high.
