The Hartmann residence receives the 2014 Pride in Preservation award from the Huntley Historic Preservation Commission.

Family earns honor for restoration work

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Melanie Hartmann now has extra motivation to finish the remaining restoration work her family started 10 years ago on a two-story house with historic roots in Huntley.

Since moving to Huntley in 2004, Hartmann and her husband have worked to save the original woodwork, picture windows and even glass bathroom door knobs belonging to their century-old home along Myrtle Avenue near downtown Huntley.

They’ve done the overhaul in waves over the years, with about 5 percent of the restoration work left, including the trim in the upstairs hallway and bathroom, Hartmann estimates.

“I’m inspired again,” she said. “I think I’ll get the 5 percent done this summer.”

The motivational boost came from the Huntley Historic Preservation Commission after members awarded the Hartmanns the 2014 Pride in Preservation award this week for their restoration effort.

After spending years and investing thousands into their historic home, the Hartmanns have somewhat become local historians.

They possess the “abstract of title,” which contains handwritten and typed notes detailing the ownership of their property.

At least six families, including the Hartmanns, have occupied the home since 1910, the records indicate. It once featured an outhouse, kitchen space for

a butler and dirt basement floors. It was located on 10 acres of land, which was originally sold in 1840 for around $100.

The house had gone through piecemeal renovations until the Hartmanns started restoring features and transforming it to meet their modern needs.

A self-proclaimed lover of projects, Hartmann never realized the rich country history of Huntley until she began the restoration project.

She said her family could have lived in the many subdivisions being built in Huntley in the mid-2000s. But those new millennium homes just didn’t have the same feel as their historic one.

“I love the character and the history,” Hartmann said. “You can’t get that in a new subdivision.”

HUNTLEY – Grafton officials point to shrinking debt and a delicate stash of reserves in their latest financial plan as proof a near-bankrupt township a year ago is on a path to recovery.

The balanced $1.38 million Town Fund budget the Grafton Board unanimously approved earlier this week features items seldom seen in past plans. It also includes $64,000 in cash reserves officials use for unforeseen expenses and to maintain the township between property tax payments.

Although a “dangerous level,” the reserves are in better shape than a year ago when the board inherited a township with almost zero money, said Supervisor Jim Kearns.

Entering a new budget year, the township will continue its strict spending habits in hopes to have more than $300,000 in cash reserves.

“Our intention with this year’s budget is to build our

The crash took place about 7:30 a.m. Sunday at Route 20 and Meyer Road, Marengo Fire Protection District Captain John Kimmel said.

The driver of the pickup was not injured, and the motorcyclist was wearing a helmet, Kimmel said.

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com HOFFMAN ESTATES – Before looking back, Kyle Sommerfield looked forward.

The salutatorian of Huntley High School’s 2014 graduating class tried to envision the myriad paths ahead of the students in front of him.

Some were bound for colleges far off. Other would stay closer. Still, others would seek jobs or join the armed forces.

“When I stop to think about all the different paths the Class of 2014 will take, it almost seems surreal,” Sommerfield said.

More graduation See Page 4 for coverage of Marengo’s graduation ceremony.

Before they start their journey to adulthood, about 600 graduating Huntley High School seniors collected their diplomas Saturday afternoon at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates.

Girls wore red graduation gowns; guys sported black.

Pockets of friends and family – told to hold their applause

to the end of the long list of names – screamed nonetheless.

Sommerfield, who will head off to Notre Dame next year, eventually turned his attention to his class’ time at the school they are leaving.

“A funny thing happened over the past four years: We’ve grown up,” he said.

Valedictorian Jessica Chalas said the choice going forward is on the students to use what they’ve gotten from these four years.

“Now it’s time to take what you’ve learned, the good and the bad, and apply it to the future,” she said.

She urged her classmates to live life like they wish they would’ve lived in high school and to think about a time 10 years down the road when they will ask themselves whether they’ve done their best.

“If the answer is yes, you’ve done your job,” Chalas said.

Principal Scott Rowe added inspiration during his remarks. He asked the class to be active rather than passive and to listen to their inner voice.

“You all have a code of conduct built inside of you,” he said. “Please, listen to it.”

cash reserves,” Kearns said.

“In our second year in office, our goal is to have the township back to fiscal stability.”

The latest financial plan by the revamped board includes about $60,000 more in expenses and revenue from the budget they crafted days after taking office this past year.

In it, they plan to spend $25,000 on the only legal bill remaining from the infamous lawsuits which created Grafton’s financial woes.

The new budget also details less debt than what board members inherited.

Officials have roughly $180,000 left on a loan used to buy back the Town Hall in Huntley from the Road District.

This time last year, officials were looking at nearly $520,000 in debt with money owed to the Road District, numerous attorneys and vendors.

The added expenses in the new budget primarily covers reserve funds officials can use for vehicle repairs and building maintenance. For years, Grafton didn’t have those dedicated funds in the budget, Kearns said.

“I’m extremely impressed with what the board and employees of the township have done this year,” he said. “Our board has been very unified in fixing the problems that were left for us.”

Added property tax dollars from new growth and leftover grant money from the county make up the revenue increases in the new budget.

The township still isn’t “flushed with cash,” but the new budget represents how far officials have come from the past year, said trustee Dan Ziller Jr. Going forward, the board will look to spend only when needed, he said.

“We don’t have much in reserves, and that’s what we are trying to build. Where we can conserve money, that’s what we will do,” Ziller said. “We are all in that mindset together.”

Marengo graduates walk to their seats Sunday before the beginning of Marengo High School’s commencement ceremony.

Commencement marks new roads for Marengo graduates Marengo graduate Kasey Collins receives his diploma during Marengo High School’s commencement ceremony.

By STEPHANIE N. GRIMOLDBY editorial@nwherald.com MARENGO – Twins Karina and Alondra Herrera of Marengo might be psychic.

Before their Marengo Community High School graduation ceremony Sunday, the 17-year-old sisters said they felt the enormity of the event.

“Today is the day you’re done with high school,” Karina Herrera said. “You’re not coming back any more. People won’t be telling you what to do. You’re on your own. It’s life changing.”

“It’s exciting,” added Alondra Herrera.

Their thoughts prefaced the message provided by Angela Fink, who

completed her first year as MCHS principal by telling her students the most important lessons in life wouldn’t be spelled out as clearly as they had been in the classroom.

“Throw away that road map we gave you and draw your own,” she said.

Many graduates already have taken that advice to heart.

The Herreras – who are the first in their family to graduate from high school – plan to attend McHenry County College, with Karina studying physical therapy and Alondra taking business administration classes.

Pools and water parks pose unexpected risk for people enjoying warmer weather

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – While water can provide plenty of fun times during the summer, Stacey McNamara knows it also can be a source of great danger.

McNamara, aquatics director at Sage YMCA, said she sees too many people unprepared for all the dangers any body of water can pose. The county already has experienced the fatal consequences of water this year when a high school freshman drowned in April and an Algonquin man died April 2 after driving into a retention pond.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

“I feel there is a lack of respect for the water. People in general don’t take the time to learn about the water, and they take it for granted.

But swimming is the only sport that will ever save your life.”

Stacey McNamara Sage YMCA aquatics director

reported drowning as the second-leading cause of unintentional injury death for children ages 1 to 14 and the fifth-leading cause for people of all ages.

“I feel there is a lack of respect for the water,” McNamara said. “People in general don’t take the time to learn about the water, and they take it for granted. But swimming is the only sport that will ever save your life.”

McNamara said while she strongly encourages everyone to go through swimming lessons, there are some tips which could be a life saver in emergency situations.

She said the worst habit she sees is people holding their breath under water.

As an attempt is made to swim out of a dangerous situation, she said the people should exhale while their face is in the water so when

they come up for air they can maximize the time to inhale.

She also said it is important to learn to float and relax to conserve energy.

“It’s that sense of panic that gets people in trouble,” McNamara said of those who cannot swim. “It’s never too late to learn.”

plans to follow the road paved by both of his grandfathers by joining the Army National Guard.

And Nicholas Opie, 18, of Marengo will be working at Marengo Auto Group and Cody’s Farm Fresh Vegetables this summer before heading to Iowa State University to study mechanical engineering. He represents the 44 percent of MCHS seniors who plan to attend a fouryear college or university.

“I feel so happy,” said Opie, one of the top 10 students academically in his class. “I’ve been looking forward to [graduating]. I get to move on.”

While many of the day’s high school speakers noted the ceremony could be the last time all 171 seniors would be together, they also reflected on how close the Class of 2014 had become.

“We’re all different, but we have grown together,” said class secretary Kassandra Macias, who opened her speech by paying tribute to Demetri Sideris, a classmate who unexpectedly passed away of a sudden illness this past fall.

Gestures such as Macias’ – and the number of times speakers thanked their teachers – are just some of the distinctive characteristics of this year’s seniors, said Julie Amendt, director of special education.

“There are a few standout kids who are so altruistic …” she said. “They do stuff so beyond what you would expect from a teenager. Out of this class, I’ve seen much of that type of care … it’s an observation of just who they are.”

Amendt said the Class of 2014 also stood out by welcoming the largest number of students in the school’s Individualized Education Program to walk and receive a certificate of completion.

And Malachi Allgood’s “selfie” may have been the first taken by a presenting speaker during an MCHS graduation ceremony, Amendt said.

The senior ended his closing speech – and the ceremony – by taking a picture of himself with several rows of classmates standing and waving their arms as his backdrop.

Curbing unhealthy habits

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Adult-onset diabetes isn’t growing up. It is getting younger.

According to a recently released study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Type 2 diabetes increased by more than 30 percent in children between 2000 and 2009, raising the frequency of the disease to 0.46 per 1,000 children. The study showed more than 20,000 people younger than 20 had Type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes, which occurs when the body does not make sufficient insulin or becomes resistant to it, historically has been linked to overweight and obese adults.

But Dr. Laura Buthod, a pediatrician with Centegra Health System, said she is seeing the dangers leading to the disease more often and earlier in children.

“A third of the children that walk through my of-

fice now are overweight or obese,” Buthod said. “And we’re starting to see it more and more in preschoolers.

We’re definitely looking for [diabetes in children] and we never used to.”

The earlier complications from diabetes begins in a person’s life the more at-risk they are for major health problems, Buthod said. Those who get Type 2 diabetes between ages 18 and 44 are 14 times more likely to suffer a heart attack than those who get Type 2 diabetes at 45 or older, Buthod said.

Buthod said steps can be taken right at birth to help keep children on a healthy path. Breast-feeding for six to 12 months has shown to curb obesity, Buthod said, and helps keep cholesterol and blood pressure low.

As children grow, it is important to start healthy eating tendencies right away as those habits can be hard to break as soon as sixth grade.

“We have a big role as pediatricians, but parents are

the ones who can really make the difference in their childrens’ lives,” Buthod said.

“Ask any adult how tough it is to incorporate activity and eating right into the daily routine and they will tell you it is very difficult. We know it’s tough, but it’s important.”

Dr. Daniel So, director of the diabetes department at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital, said one of the biggest challenges is getting the community to respond to the services offered through hospitals and schools.

He said Advocate offers a number of programs to promote weight loss and healthy eating, but they rarely are well attended.

“We have very active programs to educate young people about how to eat right, how to exercise, how to shop correctly. Those things are available,” he said. “The sad thing is attendance is so low.

The programs are available, but now we need the response to be better.”

Type 2 diabetes is becoming more common in children One program which has caught on is the CATCH program – or Coordinated Access to Community Health – aimed at promoting healthy eating and physical activity for elementary and middle school students.

Meaghan Haak, health promotion coordinator for the McHenry County Department of Health, said the program started with two schools in District 200 in 2006 before expanding to the 35 elementary and middle schools and eight preschools it now serves in McHenry County.

The changes in habits are starting to become evident in children and parents, Haak said.

“When we first started getting away from cupcakes for birthday parties at schools we would get a lot of negative feedback from parents, but that has changed,” Haak said. “We’re seeing a huge difference in the food kids are choosing and the birthday treats they bring. We’re making progress.”

parks can be just as dangerous as open water situations.

Dylan Peterson, manager at Emricson Park in Woodstock, said hundreds of people at a time in a small space, slick concrete surfaces and high dives create an environment where life guards always must be aware.

But all too often, he said, lifeguards are treated as baby sitters or not taken seriously by some because many are in high school or college.

“It is a fun place to come so some people treat it as a vacation, but there are things that need to be taken seriously,” he said.

“People don’t realize how quickly you can get hurt, and no one expects it to happen to them or their kids.”

Even local teens have started to develop ways to make safety a priority in dangerous waters.

Science group Fruit Salad – a team of six Crystal Lake eighth-graders who have competed internationally – developed a SAFE Kit, which stands for Simple Auto Flood Evacuation. The kit includes a safety tool with a seatbelt cutter, window breaker and light; a 25-foot polypropylene rope; two magnetic handles capable of supporting 100 pounds each; and instructions on how to use the items.

The group has shopped the product around to local car dealerships and auto mechanic shops and gained some interest.

“We discovered that 63 percent of flood-related deaths occurred in automobiles in 2011,” said team member Audrey Godsell. “We thought it was something people would find useful in emergencies.”
