This issue has been so enjoyable to put together with #TeamGlancer, as it is themed Summer Bliss and filled with pages that are meant to make you smile. With everything that our community has endured these past few months, it’s time for some happiness to be spread around town ♥ and we are happy to be part of that mission through our uplifting stories and heartfelt local tributes. As businesses were just starting to open up and rebuild after the COVID-19 ‘Shelter In Place Order’ there was a certain sense of relief in the air– a feeling that everything would be OK. We would all come back stronger than ever. Then, the west suburban community was stricken with unthinkable vi-olence in Naperville as looters who were disguised as protesters, infil-trating a peaceful protest being held in the name of George Floyd. With protests still going on locally, many businesses are boarded up, but remain hopeful. May you find peace in the coming days and be kind to everyone you meet. Thank you for reading from all of us at Glancer Magazine.

COVER STORY10 • WESTERN SUBURBS • JUNE 2020 • Glancer Magazine #WineDream Naperville Couple Shares on their Endeavor of a Lifetime

A Message to Follow Your Dreams and Live Fully The “Stay at Home Order” can provide just the right amount of time for most to sit back and reflect on their life while also projecting future goals. It can allow one to ask the question, “am I living every day to its fullest – following my dreams – remembering life is truly short”? Mary Roy and Bob Covert are both physicians with long careers in Nap-erville. They have six kids; all Benet Academy graduates with successful careers. They lived full-time in Naperville from 1995-2015 where Mary owned and managed Midwest Center for Advanced Imaging near White Eagle. Bob is a Neonatologist still working every few weeks in the Edward Neonatal ICU, a member of DuPage Neonatology Associates, and has been Medical Director of the Neonatal ICU, caring for critically ill babies at Edward Hospital since 1996. About 10 years ago, Mary and Bob were considering their future in retire-ment and received a brochure in the mail advertising an online program in Winemaking and Viticulture, and next thing they knew they were imag-ining the real possibility of carving out a niche in wine country as their own. After a two-year exhaustive search for the perfect property, they found their dream in Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California and pur-chased it in 2013, subsequently building a wine cave, tasting room, green-house and gardens, and ultimately transforming the site into the most charming winery in Northern California named Capo Creek. Mary and Bob began producing wine and revitalized the vineyard with or-ganic techniques, new vine plantings, modern irrigation, soil amendments, beneficial cover crops, and bluebird boxes and opened their wine cave in 2017 and the Winery Tasting Room in 2018. Capo Creek has now become a hidden-gem wine destination known for its unique and private wine and food experiences with tours. When COVID-19 hit, they began offering virtual tasting experiences, where all their Illinois west suburban friends, and those from other states, could join an online interactive food and wine tasting, as well as WINE BINGO. The Capo logo reflects a lifestyle that intersects love, laughter, sunshine, music and of course, great wine……and is a simple reminder to everyone to follow your dreams and live life fully because you never know when the world will stop as we know it.

Meet Michelle Schaub, Author of Dream Big, Little Scientists: A Bedtime Book DOWNERS GROVE–When Downers Grove author, Mi-chelle Schaub’s three children were little, they were natu-rally drawn to science. As a family, they visited many museums and read stacks of nonfiction science books. The early love of science stuck with them, and they are all now headed into STEM fields. “The love stuck with me, too,” says Michelle. “It inspired me to write a children’s book to spark the next generation of little scientists.” Dream Big, Little Scientists: A Bedtime Book is an innova-tive bedtime story focused on twelve kids and their individ-ual love for different STEM fields, from astronomy to oceanography to physics. Their bedrooms are decorated to highlight their field interest, including posters of real scien-tists. As each child prepares themselves for bed, the young reader is immersed in descriptions and facts for each science, written in simple terms. Michelle has also written extension materials on her website to further explore any interest that has been sparked. A previous middle school language arts teacher and author of two children’s poetry collections, Michelle is passionate about educating and boosting literacy through children’s picture books. Dream Big, Little Scientists: A Bedtime Book is available locally through Anderson’s Bookstores or online through Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

Leah McCloskey A Picture is Worth Thousand Words On a typical weekend summer day, Leah, a henna artist and py-rographer, would be drawing on people at festivals or going to art fairs and seeing live music at local pubs. She would also be help-ing people relieve stress and pain through her licensed massage therapy practice and Brinka Chiropractic. During the “Shelter in Place” order, she began creating sidewalk chalk art to show love and support through the only way she knew how. When civil unrest proceeded to hit the world just as we entered Phase 3, Leah chalked the State of Liberty donned with a mask with arms of all races raised together - “Liberty is not Liberty un-less for all”. It was a picture worth a thousand words. She drew the piece to express her emotions – “my heart hurt, my head hurt, and my soul was weeping,” she shares. “I felt power-less to help and it is not my voice that needs to be heard today; so, the only way I felt I could get my emotions out and create a safe space was to draw what I felt.” She first created a Liberty piece in henna on her hand, then de-cided to attempt to burn it on wood. The original design has an American flag in the background and is titled "Liberty is Weeping" – with viral tears to represent the virus. In the next drawing, Leah added the fists because she is angry and wants her friends and community to know she supports them and is here for them. After receiving many requests, the drawing will be made into prints and other items with all net proceeds being donating to Black Lives Matter and the Brave Space Alliance. “I will continue to use my voice and my art to spread Alliance and peace; but, it is not my voice that needs to be heard, right now it is my job to shut up and listen and let the voices of those that have been oppressed for far too long be heard.” -Kristen Kuchraski NOMINATE A NEIGHBOR editorial@glancermagazine.com Glancing the GallantCELEBRATING LOCAL18 • WESTERN SUBURBS • JUNE 2020 • Glancer Magazine

Our community shut-down due to the COVID-19 pandemic has af-fected all of us in so many ways. Everyone has their own unique ex-periences and struggles, but one of the groups I personally worried about was victims of domestic abuse and how they were faring being secluded with their abusers. Mutual Ground, the Aurora-based, not-for-profit social service agency for domestic and sexual violence victims, had concerns as well. Since 1975, Mutual Ground has provided free and con-fidential victim-centered services for southern Kane and Kendall Counties, as well as Aurora in DuPage County. Their services include crisis hotline, emergency shelter, legal advocacy, individual, group and family counseling, hospital response and prevention education. “Our serv-ices are so comprehensive that we really ‘wrap our arms’ around the client to provide for a variety of needs so they can effectively move forward towards a safe and healthy life,” says Kathy Melone, Advancement Director of Mu-tual Ground. According to the Illinois Coalition against Domestic Vio-lence (ICADV), one in four women and one in seven men will experience domestic violence in their lives. In 2019, Mutual Ground provided support services for 1055 adult victims and 406 child victims and responded to 7,278 domestic violence and sexual assault hotline calls. They also believe heavily in prevention education and had presentations at over 100 area schools to close to 59,000 students. The challenge during these times is to still be available to provide these much- needed services to victims. Their emergency shelter remains open to current clients and to new shelter residents on a case-by-case basis, dependent on situation and health risk. “We have been extremely lucky to have had a strong community support,” says Kathy. “Many meals have been dropped off for residents, as well as cleaning and essential supplies.” Emergency hotlines have remained open and staffed 24-hours-per-day, and counseling services are offered through telehealth services, although this has been more difficult with the increased lack of privacy from abusers. Although their volunteer program has suspended all ac-tivities at this time, they are still accepting volunteer ap-plications for a variety of upcoming opportunities. Other ways to currently help are meal and supply donations as well as financial donations, since the cancellation and rescheduling of their Spring Gala Fundraiser has left a huge whole in their budget. More information on vol-unteering and donating can be found on their website at www.mutualground.org .

Naperville Residential Eating Disorder Facility Brings Hope to Adolescent Girls Eating disorders can affect people at any age, but the risk is higher for ad-olescents. And with the COVID-19 crisis, eating disorders are unfortunately more of a concern than ever. To help, Clementine Naperville will open this month, offering eating disorder treatment for adolescent girls between the ages of 11 and 17. Clementine is an affiliate of Monte Nido & Affiliates, the na-tion’s leading provider of eating disorder treatment. Its Nap-erville program will offer residential programming for adolescent girls seeking treatment for anorexia nervosa, bu-limia nervosa, binge eating disorder or exercise addiction. According to the National Eating Disorder As-sociation, 20 million women in the U.S. will have an eating disorder at some point in their lives. Adolescents with eating dis-orders may try to hide their symp-toms from those around them, but warning signs that parents should look for include constant or repet-itive dieting, evidence of vomiting or laxative use, hiding, hoarding or stealing food, and excessive exer-cise patterns, among others. “With any eating disorder, early treat-ment intervention is optimal. Clementine provides customized treatment that cor-relates with long-term health and greatly im-proves chances of full recovery," said Joel Jahraus, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Monte Nido & Affiliates. When eating disorders are left untreated, they can lead to grave physical and psychological consequences. Eating dis-orders have the highest mortality rate of any mental health illness, and young women who have anorexia nervosa have a mortality rate twelve times higher than their peers.Clementine NapervilleHEALTH + WELLNESSTeatment for Adolescents30 • WESTERN SUBURBS • JUNE 2020 • Glancer Magazine

Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, those recovering from eating disorders could be at risk of relapsing. With daily routines disrupted and social interaction limited, adolescents have been forced out of activities that may have been a part of their eating disorder recovery plans. “The mission of Clementine Naperville is to help adolescents replace their eat-ing disorder with healthy skills and a deep understanding of how to live a life that reflects their individuality,” said Jahraus. The new facility provides the highest level of medical and psychiatric care outside of a hospital setting, with 24-hour nursing in a comfortable, home-life environment. Treatment is integrated with personalized clinical and nutritional care, as well as academic and family support. For more information, contact 855-900-2221, or visit www.clementineprograms.com.

Naper Settlement Opens to the Public with New Safety Requirements NAPERVILLE– Naper Settlement, Naper-ville’s award-winning outdoor history mu-seum, announced today it will reopen to the public on Tuesday, June 2 with limited capacity and strict social distancing and safety requirements for staff, volunteers, and visitors. The announcement and the museum’s opening plan aligns with the state’s five-phased approach to reopening the economy, the City of Naperville’s rec-ommendations, and follows guidance from health officials. All visitors will be required to wear face masks inside all build-ings and when social distancing cannot be maintained out-doors. Visitors are required to maintain social distancing guidelines by staying 6 feet from other visitor groups at all times. A visitor group is defined as a group of people who have been social distancing together. Beginning on June 4, the museum will offer several new tour options that promote social distancing on the 13-acre campus, including guided tours of the grounds and select building interiors with no more than eight people in a group, plus Naper Settlement staff, following Phase 3 guidelines. Guided tours will be available on a rol-ling basis during normal operating hours. Visitors can also participate in self-guided tour options of the exteriors of the buildings using the museum’s mobile tour app. Areas with high touch potential, including the Rita (Fredenhagen) and John Harvard Early Learning Playscape, will remain closed to the public with the goal to move towards reo-pening all amenities safely at a later date. “The safety of our staff, volunteers and visitors is of the up-most importance. Naper Settlement has done extensive re-search and has created a comprehensive plan that changes the way we operate both internally and externally to the pub-lic,” said Rena Tamayo-Calabrese, president and CEO of Naper Settlement. “While the visitor experience may be dif-ferent from previous years, we will continue to safely provide engaging and unique experiences that connect visitors to Naperville’s history.” NaperSettlement.org SUMMER BLISSGlancer Magazine • JUNE 2020• WESTERN SUBURBS • 37

Diana Piedra & Mia Boseo Spreading Sunshine and Social Graces NAPERVILLE–What began as a “Shelter in Place” past-time has turned into something bigger given the civil unrest of today. According to Kennedy Junior High student, Mia Boseo, it can begin with a simple “Hello”. A few weeks ago, Mia and her mom, Diana Piedra had created chalk drawings and messages in the areas surrounding their Naperville home - a bright yellow sun, cheerful and colorful de-signs, as well as a painted Adirondack chair beautifully named “Joy” and placed at the entrance of their cul-de-sac. They live in a subdivision connected by miles and miles of trails that are frequented daily by individuals from many walks of life. On outings with her mom, Mia noticed that people seemed to be looking down more and that it was almost like “we have a new armor on with our face masks,” she said. “We felt if we made an area that felt joyful, perhaps more people would be encouraged to truly see and acknowledge one another.” Mia and her mom hope to encourage others by initiating their own concerted effort to extend everyday social graces not only in their subdivision, but beyond.

Mom’s Little Black BookMONTHLY COLUMNSummer of Service It’s June – the month we celebrate our dads. I had big plans to take my own dad on a #MomsLittleBlackBook adventure with my daughters to Guaranteed Rate Field and take a tour of the White Sox Stadium and participate in a Fan Experience. Instead, I reflected on what my dad has taught me over the years when I find myself in tough times. You see, my dad is always available to me, day or night regardless of how busy he is; he has taught me to be self-confident, independent, hardworking, tolerant, and loyal. He demonstrates love, re-spect, faith, honor, hope, compas-sion, and empathy to everyone he meets regardless of race, color, or re-ligion. Above all, he provided a loving home and taught us to give of our-selves before others. Service work became my therapy to get me through the tough times; so, in the midst of the pandemic, I took my girls on one of the greatest adven-tures of the times and we volunteered with Hesed House to serve food to the homeless. It’s hard to #StayHome when you don’t have a home. It was eye-opening to walk into the warehouse while donning a mask and see rows upon rows of individual tents to keep clients socially distant from one another; however, when the food line opened and it was time for us to serve, I forgot all about the pan-demic and remembered what my dad had taught me all these years – smile, be grateful, serve others. We were a part of this on-site vol-unteer crew before they suspended on-site volunteering and relocated, but there are still so many ways to help with their urgent needs which can be found on their website and dropped at 659 S. River Street in Au-rora. #MomsLittleBlackBook plans to con-tinue to find adventures of service this summer, such as one of the many op-portunities through Giving DuPage www.givingdupage.galaxydigital.com/urgentvolunteerneed/ So, this Father’s Day, I hope to al-ways remember to spread a smile and help those around me. Overview Hesed House is the second largest homeless shelter in the State of Illi-nois, and the largest shelter outside of the city of Chicago, utilizing more than 7,000+ volunteers from over 90 area churches, businesses and serv-ice organizations to assist individuals and families experiencing homeless-ness every year.
