Show of solidarity by Yorkville teachers Nearly 200 pack board meeting as talks with mediator continue By KATHY FARREN news@kendallcountynow.com Close to 200 Yorkville School District teachers packed the Board of Education meeting Monday night, applauding long and hard after their president spoke. Most of the teachers – who are still working without a contract – wore white shirts as they filled the Yorkville High School

Library. The teachers’ three-year contract approved in May 2012 expired June 30. In early September, the board and the Yorkville Education Association (YEA) representing teachers jointly filed a request with the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service asking for a mediator. A mediator was assigned and met with both sides for eight

hours Friday. Another session was scheduled for Wednesday. Representatives of the YEA and district administrators, representing the Board of Education, met previously 27 times over the past year. In his statement to the board Monday night, YEA president Shawn Collins said he spoke, “not because I am angry or frustrated or bitter about the current status of our contract, for it is an issue that will be resolved in a matter of time.” Collins went on to say that Yorkville teachers go “above and beyond on a daily basis” to

support students outside of their normal school day. “But valued, it seems we are not,” he said, continuing, “When we stand together to show you how valuable we are, you begin to push back.” He referred to the board’s action at the Sept. 14 meeting when they approved the hiring of six lunchroom supervisors at Yorkville High School and Yorkville High School Academy to perform duties previously done by teachers. At Monday’s meeting, the board approved hiring an additional four lunchroom supervisors to work at Yorkville Middle

School. Since the school year began, teachers have been “working to the contract,” that is working only the hours and duties specified in the contract. Following the meeting, board President Dave Dockstader and Collins both said they were optimistic that settlement can be reached on a new contract. Dockstader said his one concern was that the federal mediator would not be available if Congress doesn’t approve a funding resolution by Wednesday night, and there is a federal government shutdown.

Revenues projected to exceed expenses by nearly $2.4M By KATHY FARREN news@kendallcountynow.com Yorkville School District Board members approved the district’s $71,553,716 budget Monday night. The 2015-16 fiscal year budget shows nearly $2.4 million more in revenue than expenses and projects a total balance next June 30 of $40,732,686. Revenue is anticipated at $73,927,647, with 78 percent of that coming from local sources, chiefly real estate taxes. State funding is projected at $15,306,337 and federal funds at $799,986. Salaries and employee benefits account for 58 percent of total expenditures. Salaries are budgeted at $33,336,482 and benefit costs at $8,606,500. When the last fiscal year ended on June 30, the district had fund balances totaling $38,358,755, less than the $40,732,686 anticipated next year. The Education Fund, which covers teach-

er salaries and direct classroom expenses, is the largest in the budget with expenditures of $49,906,596. The fund had a balance of $19,437,351 on June 30. With revenue of $47,061,396, the expected balance next year is also $19,437,351. The Operations and Maintenance Fund had a $3,859,936 balance on June 30 and shows budgeted revenue of $8,209,805 and expenses of $7,209,747, which would leave a balance next June of $4,859,994. This fund covers the cost of maintaining district buildings. The Debt Service Fund is used to pay back money borrowed for building or upgrading school buildings. It had a balance of $2,903,313 at the end of the last fiscal year. With budgeted revenue of $6,793,927 and expenditures of $6,385,400, it would have a balance of $3,842,140 on June 30, 2016. The Transportation Fund had a balance of $1,751,385 on June 30. Revenue in the fund is budgeted at $8,965,173 and expenditures at $5,594,191, leaving a balance of $1,751,367 at the end of the fiscal year. Dean Romano, assistant superintendent for finance and operations, pointed out that the budget includes a transfer of $3,371,000 from the Transportation Fund to the Education Fund. While the Education Fund and many others in the budget have a maximum tax rate per $100 of assessed valuation, the Transportation Fund

does not. Therefore the district was able to levy (or request more in taxes) in that fund and then transfer the money to other funds. The Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (PTELL), commonly called the tax cap, limits the amount the district’s total tax receipts can grow in a year to no more than the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or five percent, whichever is less. Last year the CPI was 0.8 percent, Romano said. In the Municipal Retirement/Social Security Fund, there was a $1,077,095 balance at the end of the last fiscal year. Revenue is budgeted at $1,523,506 and expenditures at $1,443,400, leaving a balance of $1,157,201. The Capital Projects Fund had a balance of $1,963,333, which will remain at the end of the year as no revenue or expenditures are budgeted in the fund. The Working Cash Fund balance was $6,311,242. Revenue of $363,391 is budgeted, as is a transfer to other district funds of $363,391. The Tort Fund had a balance of $676,237. Revenue is budgeted at $560,642, with expenditures of $514,362, leaving a balance of $722,497 next June 30. In the Fire Prevention and Safety Fund, the district had a balance of $378,863 on June 30. After budgeted revenue of $449,807 and expenditures of $500,000, the fund shows a balance of $328,670 next year.

Funding for educational foundation OK’d By KATHY FARREN news@kendallcountynow.com

and Learning Michael Duback presented a revised format for kindergarten to third-grade report cards. He said the new format will be easier for classroom teachers to process since teachers of specialized classes (art, music, physical education) will post their grades on it themselves. The card also reflects changes to the skills now required at each grade level and removes some broad concepts, such as “rhythm” used on previous formats.

The new Yorkville Educational Foundation, formed to raise funds for the Yorkville School District, got some start up funds from the district Monday. Board of Education members approved giving the foundation up to $1,000 for their initial costs, including joining state and national organizations, communication and advertising, and other expenses.

AP: Dennis Hastert case nearing plea deal Attorneys in talks with feds SHAW MEDIA Attorneys for former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Plano, have been talking with prosecutors about a potential plea deal in Hastert’s case, the Associated Press reported on Monday. The judge set an Oct. 15 deadline for updates, according to the AP. Hastert served for 20 years as the U.S. representative of the 14th Congressional District. The AP reported the disclosure came during a hearing in federal court in Chicago that Hastert didn’t attend. It was regarding the May indictment that alleged the former speaker agreed to pay $3.5 million to an individual to hide past misconduct. The indictment states that Hastert “agreed to provide Individual A $3.5 million in order to compensate for and conceal his prior misconduct against Individual A.” AP and other media outlets reported the payments were intended to cover up claims of sexual misconduct that happened years ago. The U.S. Attorney’s Office charged Hastert with “one count each of structuring currency transactions to evade Currency Transaction Reports and making a false statement to the FBI in an indictment returned by a federal Grand Jury,” according to federal law enforcement officials. Hastert, who remains free on bond, is specifically accused of dodging the law that requires

According to the federal indictment of Hastert, the law “required domestic financial institutions to prepare and file with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network a Currency Transaction Report (Form 104) for any transaction or series of transactions involving currency of more than $10,000.” The federal indictment explained that, in 2010, Hastert met with someone identified in the indictment only as “Individual A,” and that the individual, a Yorkville resident, had known Hastert “most of Individual A’s life.” It states that the person met with Hastert “multiple times and that, during one of the meetings, the person ‘discussed past misconduct by [Hastert] against Individual A that had occurred years earlier.’” Little else is known about the specifics of the government’s case against Hastert since Judge Thomas Durkin agreed to a re-

quest by the U.S. Attorney’s Office to keep materials secret, with prosecutors citing law enforcement and privacy interests. “The discovery to be provided by the government in this case includes sensitive information, the unrestricted dissemination of which could adversely affect law enforcement interests and the privacy interests of third parties,” U.S. Attorney Zachary T. Fardon wrote in his request to Durkin in June. After the case is over, the order also states that “all the materials and copies made thereof shall be disposed of in one of three ways, unless otherwise ordered by the court. The materials may be destroyed, returned to the government, or retained in defense counsel’s case file.” A 1960 graduate of Oswego High School, Hastert taught and coached wrestling at Yorkville High School from the mid-1960s through 1980, when he was elected to serve in the Illinois General Assembly. He was elected to his first term in Congress in 1986.

IDOT plans Route 34 improvement project By MATT SCHURY mschury@shawmedia.com Area residents were able to get their first look this week at the Illinois Department of Transportation’s (IDOT) plans to widen and reconstruct U.S. Route 34 from Center Parkway in Yorkville to Eldamain Road in Plano. IDOT held a public hearing Tuesday night at the Yorkville Public Library where project exhibits were on display and residents were able to provide comments on the proposed improvements. Vicki and Andy Wegrzy, residents of Yorkville’s Fox Hill Subdivision, said they received a survey from IDOT asking them about the sound barrier wall planned for installation along the south side of Route 34, behind their home. Plans call for retaining walls to be constructed near Game Farm Road and sound barrier walls to be added near Game Farm Road and Diehl Farm Road. Vicki said the walls are definitely needed. “It’s been getting noisier and noisier off the back of our place,” she said. “Sometimes you can’t even have the windows open or be out on the porch and be talking because of all the noise.” The couple said they believe IDOT’s plan to widen the high-

way will help with traffic congestion they see on the highway. Plans call for the road to be reconstructed for 2.1 miles to provide two lanes in each direction, with a two-way left turn median, curbs and gutters, storm sewers, sidewalks and a shared-use path. The Blackberry Creek bridge and the Rob Roy Creek culvert will also be replaced as part of the project. The price tag on the project is $18.8 million with $16.8 million of that budgeted for construction and $1.8 mill for land acquisition. Ted Fultz, an IDOT engineer, said the project is fully funded in IDOT’s 2016-21 proposed highway improvements program. Phase one engineering is scheduled to be completed this fall with phase two design work and land acquisition to begin shortly thereafter. The project is warranted because of the large amount of traffic that travels on Route 34, Futlz said. “The main thing that’s driving this is project need and you can see it’s at or near capacity with 16,500 to 23,250 (vehicles) per day,” he said. Additionally crash data from IDOT shows that 68 percent of the 261 crashes reported between 2009 and 2013 were rear-end crashes, a clear indication, Fultz said, that the road is overcrowded.

OUR VIEW

Don’t delay maintenance on library The Yorkville Public Library is in need of some minor maintenance work and we believe the city council should make sure that work gets done as soon as possible. During a city council meeting last month, Alderman Seaver Tarulis expressed concern about the declining appearance of the building on Game Farm Road. Fortunately, the issues cited by Tarulis are all cosmetic and should be easily and inexpensively corrected. He noted the landscaping outside the building is in need of some pruning and suggested a good power washing would remove unsightly dirt and insect nests. Areas of the building’s exterior walls are also in need of a fresh coat of paint, Tarulis said. It’s hard to believe but it will be exactly 10 years next month since city voters approved an $8.7 million referendum to finance a much-needed expansion of the library. Completed in 2007, the expansion served to increase the size of the library to 36,000 square feet, comparable to the libraries operated by the Oswego Public Library District in downtown Oswego and Montgomery. Like local schools and parks, the library is an important public asset to the city and its residents. The city council should make sure they protect the multi-million-dollar investment city residents made in the library by maintaining it for current and future generations. As any homeowner knows: minor maintenance work put off now will quickly turn into more costly repairs down the road.

OUR VIEW

A good bang for the city’s buck? As we reported last week, some Yorkville City Council members are concerned that the city may not be getting a good return on the city’s investment in the Aurora Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. As Alderman Carlo Colosimo said, “I just don’t feel like we are getting our bang for the buck.” The city currently allocates $50,000 annually in hotel tax revenues to the Aurora-based agency to market and promote the city as a tourist destination. The bureau also provides similar services to Aurora and several other lower Fox Valley area communities with the exception of Oswego, which took its tourism marketing efforts in-house more than a decade ago. We share the concerns expressed by city council members and believe now is a good time for city officials to thoroughly examine exactly what the city is getting for its $50,000 investment. We also believe it would prove beneficial to contact officials in neighboring Oswego to see how that community’s withdrawal from the bureau affected tourism in the village.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Bolshevik prisoners shown under the custody of United States troops in Arkhangelsk, Russia, in 1918. There was considerable grumbling when the troops were initially dispatched, and that grew to a roar after the Armistice was signed. By late summer 1919, the deployment of troops to Russia had lost virtually all the public support it may have originally had.

‘Nonsense from the beginning’: U.S. Russian intervention In the late summer of 1919, the nation was looking forward to getting back to what passed for normalcy in those days. World War I had ended with the armistice signed between the Allies and Germany and its allies that went into effect on Nov. 11, 1918. By the summer of 1919, the young men and women who had gone off to war were beginning to trickle back home. On Aug. 27, the Kendall County Record reported from Oswego that: “A reception for the return of soldiers will be given in the parlors of the Oswego Prairie church Thursday evening of this week.” But while local folks were looking forward to welcoming most of the county’s soldiers, sailors, and marines back home, there continued to be a question concerning the end of fighting due to the war. In July 1918, in response to a request from France and England, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson had authorized dispatching 5,000 U.S. Army troops to northern Russia. The American North Russia Expeditionary Force was to support their British and French allies by controlling the Russian port of Arkhangelsk, where tons of military supplies delivered for use by the Russian Army were still on the docks. After the Russian Civil War broke out, Russia withdrew from the allied pact, and Bolsheviks were threatening to seize the military supplies at Arkhangelsk for use against their countrymen. In addition to guarding the supplies, the expeditionary force’s goals were to support troops of the Czechoslovak Legions and other units still loyal to the old imperial Russian government, who had been fighting against Germany and who were now marooned inside Russia. The Czech troops were reportedly trying to exit the country, but had been trapped by the civil war. There was considerable grumbling when the troops were initially dispatched, and that grew to a roar after the Armistice was signed. By late summer 1919, the deployment of troops to Russia had lost virtually all the public support it may have originally had. The U.S. troops who arrived at Murmansk and Arkhangelsk in the late summer of 1918 were welcomed by the

REFLECTIONS Roger Matile Murmansk Soviet and the local Communist leader, Leon Trotsky, plus the Allied British and French troops already there. However, it didn’t take long for the wheels to come off the effort and political infighting to break out among the allies while actual combat was taking place between the expeditionary force and both the Bolsheviks and their White Russian opponents. With Armistice Day come and gone, a British unit refused to fight in February 1919, pointing out that World War I was over. A French battalion followed their lead, as did a U.S. Army company in midMarch. The U.S. troops complained that not only was the war was over, but the Germans had been defeated, and the actions they were being ordered to undertake were in contravention of their own government’s policies. By June, President Wilson ordered all U.S. troops withdrawn from Arkhangelsk after they’d suffered 235 dead in the police action. But meanwhile, 8,000 additional U.S. troops had been shipped to Vladivostok, Siberia during the summer and fall of 1918 with the mission of a) not taking sides in the increasingly violent civil war and b) aiding the well-traveled Czechoslovak Legion by protecting railroads leading east from the port. Not only did the doughboys have to contend with White Russian and Red Army fighters, but also with their putative allies, including 70,000 Imperial Japanese troops who were out for plunder and conquest. The U.S. troops gradually came to despise the Japanese troops as much as their Russian antagonists. The mood of the U.S. electorate in the summer of 1919 was restive. People wanted the troops home, and wanted them home immediately. The Midwest wasn’t 100-percent sold on fighting Germany in the first place; the whole idea of fighting Russians after the war was over was considered absurd. In the July 2, 1919 Record, editor Hugh

R. Marshall complained that: “The hope that our soldiers will all be out of Europe soon must be abandoned. Secretary of War [Newton] Baker has issued a special appeal to young men to enlist in the army for service in Europe and bleak Siberia. How long, oh Lord! how long, will it be until our ‘democratic’ president steps out of the role of Czar long enough to let his ‘subjects’ know why he is keeping our soldiers in Siberia. Do we owe that country anything?” By late August, parents of Illinois soldiers serving in Siberia had had more than enough. As Marshall reported in the Record’s Aug. 27, 1919 edition: “Having no hope that President Wilson will act favorably upon their appeal to bring their boys home from Siberia, Illinois mothers and fathers have taken their case direct to the House foreign affairs committee. Chairman of the committee Porter says ‘there is absolutely no justification in law’ for sending our troops to Siberia, and that ‘the time has come to challenge this extraordinary use of the army.’ Wilson never saw fit to lay out his reasoning for sending troops to Siberia before he was felled by a massive stroke in October 1919. It seems he didn’t even bother to tell his own political allies what the goals were supposed to be. And without his support, U.S. withdrawal from Siberia began in early 1920, with the last troops leaving Vladivostok on April 1. With the mission wrapped up, Baker apparently finally felt free to comment, calling the intervention “nonsense from the beginning.” Gen. Peyton C. March, Army Chief of Staff, agreed, dubbing it “a complete failure.” You’ve got to give Baker and March credit, though. Unlike today’s political and military leaders, they weren’t afraid to call a failure a failure. Compare their comments with the rationalizations of the spectacular military and political failures the U.S. engineered in the Middle East we get from our leaders these days, and it almost makes one long for the good old days of 1920.

FORUM Public spending on parks unnecessary

To the Editor: In this time of budget crises, cuts to essential services and looming tax increases, it may be appropriate to question the need for our numerous local parks, forest preserves, prairie restoration areas, etc., let alone state and federal parks. An example of unnecessary public expenditure is the Arsenal bison re-introduction. When the Army ceased using this location, it was turned over to various park entities. After years of delay, one use for about 6,000 acres was dreamed up by park officials— raising bison to determine the prairie species of plants likely to have existed prior to removal of the buffalo herds. This effort apparently affords a livelihood for a number of park employees. To avoid stressing the animals, visitors are excluded. For thousands of years, buffalo herds moved north and east as far as western Pennsylvania in summer, drifting back west and south to Texas in winter. Herds protected themselves from wolves and Indian predators by bulls facing outward, ringing cows and calves. Estimates of their numbers: 15 to 50 million. Does this resemble enclosing a 10 square mile pasture for a score or so of animals? There were no bison in this area in winter. How realistic is this “experiment”? Visitors will cause irreparable harm? Over the years, donations, referenda, taxes and grants have enabled Chicago area park interests to acquire hundreds of parcels of land requiring maybe a thousand employees and contractors for their upkeep. Kendall County alone must have 20-30 parcels, many unused and, from a prairie is now 10 to 15 percent wooded. Every acre of “forest preserve” which was initially prairie could raise crops, supporting farm families and providing revenue instead of requiring tax revenue. The private sector can provide recreation. We do not need public spending on parks and forest preserves. Alphonse I. Johnson Newark

Fed up with this nonsense

To the Editor: Ed Washak’s remarks in last week’s Forum were offensive. His disparaging comments about Republicans or conservatives are stale showing little hope he will change. Yes, Republican representative Randy Hultgren “shows his love of unborn children” by his support of HR 3134, HR 3504 and even HR 671. Mr. Washak’s mockery leads me to believe he has a distaste for children in general and babies in particular. His sarcasm reflects an opinion that these bills are a bad thing. On the contrary, Hultgren’s actions don’t go far enough. What offended me is Washak’s insinuation about the credibility of the videos from the Center for Medical Progress. CMP is a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to medical ethics and advancements. This wasn’t just one “highly creative video” but a large number of unstaged videos consistently showing Planned Parenthood’s negotiations to sell aborted baby body parts. They reveal a gruesome business organization dealing illegally, rather than the benevolent picture Mr. Washak may have desired. Truth can be upsetting. The videos weren’t creative, just priceless investigative journalism, something rare these days. Planned Parenthood literally has blood on their hands. This is Planned Parenthood’s business plan. For instance, they have no license to do mammograms, something helpful to women; their business plan deals with abortion. Mr. Washak does not know his history nor the facts about Planned Parenthood’s roots. He may never have heard of Margaret Sanger before. Maybe the truth of these videos

doesn’t sicken or upset him except his delusions about Planned Parenthood as humanitarian were not upheld by them. Though the videos reveal reprehensible business practices, they are fresh air. It is long overdue that we address this issue. We should not, as a nation, consider funding such a sinister organization. Hultgren’s support of HR 671 is a stall hoping we all forget what we’ve learned. When talking about babies in any stage of development, we must remember that doctors performing surgery in utero use anesthetic for the babies. Why do we have to have legislation pointing out the fact that babies are pain capable? Doctors already know this. Shame on us. Here’s another fact, taxpayers: Planned Parenthood receives $1.25 million per day in federal funds. This is what we support with our money, our hard-earned funds. We should consider three important questions when we desire information on what our federal government is funding: 1.) What do we fund? 2.) Why do we fund it? 3.) Is there credible evidence and reason to stop the funding? We always need to be sure we can make course corrections along life’s paths. Just because a law is made doesn’t mean it’s a good or just law. We should all be calling Sens. Mark Kirk and Dick Durbin, who are the ones to override Obama’s vetoes. The Senate, in particular, deserves to be called out on their unflagging support of the president against the rising tide of voices of people who have had enough and are fed up with this nonsense.

Protecting the unborn

To the Editor: I can only hope Aaron Kendleson’s care and concern for chickens and their eggs as expressed in his Forum letter in last week’s edition extends to our human population too. I work in agriculture and am always amazed at how we want such great care for the animals around us that provide much of our diet, but we can’t seem to get that same level of concern and care to exist in protecting the unborn.

Tootsie Roll drive a success

To the Editor: On Friday, Sept. 18, and Saturday, Sept. 19, the Knights of Columbus Council #14463 held our annual Intellectual Disabilities Fund Drive in Yorkville. The drive generated over $4,400 that will benefit local programs that serve individuals with intellectual disabilities. We thank all the generous people who donated to the drive on their way around Yorkville. We also thank Mayor Golinski, Chief R. Hart and Lisa Pickering from the city for their support and assistance to make the drive possible. Thank you to Jill, manager of Panera in Yorkville, for her support, permitting us to solicit in front of the store. One of the main purposes of the Knights of Columbus, a fraternal order with 1.8 million members around the world, is to support various charitable causes that seek to make our families and communities stronger. The proceeds from the annual state-wide drive will be distributed to more than 1,200 service organizations throughout Illinois. Look for us next September when we participate in the 47th annual drive.

listen to the program on Oct. 6 at Harvest New Beginnings to see if you can commit four hours of your time once a month for just six months to keep the PADS program open. The PADS program hopes that others will be moved to share their compassion and kindness with the homeless who will be guests of PADS this winter.

Numbers don’t add up To the Editor: The lies about how well the U.S. economy is doing. When Obama first took office the vast majority of economists

said it would take several years of 320,000 plus or minus a few jobs per month to get the economy back to full or near full employment. Since then there have been only a handful of months that even came close to that number yet they say that we are at near full employment. The numbers don’t add up unless you take into account that many people have given up looking and many have taken early retirement because they are not able to get a job. Add to that the number that have hired sleazy lawyers to fraudulently get them on Social Security disability. If you take all these people into account the actual unemployment rate is, by most estimates, between 11 and 19 percent.

Add to that all the people that are working multiple part-time jobs and the record or near record numbers on government aid of some form and those people working at jobs way below their skill level and you get the picture of a two-tier economy. If the unemployment rate was actually near full employment wages would be going up faster, inflation would be higher, and the prime interest rate would be higher than zero. The Fed continues its zero rate for two reasons, the big banks and the Wall Street crowd like the free money and the Fed knows the economy is not in as good of shape as the administration and their lapdogs in the national media would like you to believe. When the Obama adminis-

tration took office they were so against the “too big to fail” big banks and yet under this administration those very banks have become bigger more powerful and influential then they were before. All the proof that is needed about the banks influence and power is that not one of the bankers has been charged with any crime involving the near economic meltdown. The current administration also made a mess of economic recovery when they used a large part of the stimulus money to reward political supporters, mostly the public employee unions, and then passed the two biggest tax increases in history to take out more money from the economy than the stimulus added. To

make up for it the Fed started pumping trillions of dollars into the economy which they at some point have to start removing from the economy to avoid future hyperinflation when the economy actually is at near full employment. Bob Schwabauer Yorkville

PADS needs your help

To the Editor: Kendall county Public Action to Deliver shelter (PADS) needs your help. Our entire PADS organization, from the Board of Directors to the shift workers, is made up of volunteers. The shelter program is totally dependent on 600 volunteers who staff the shelter sites one time each month. Approximately 20 volunteers are needed to work each night, in four hour shifts, between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. for six months. The 2015-2016 PADS program needs approximately 100 more volunteers in order to open the doors to the homeless starting Oct. 18. If you are interested in learning about PADS you are invited to attend an information meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 6 at 6:30 p.m. at Harvest New Beginnings, 5315 Douglas Road, Oswego. Serving as a lifeline for the homeless, PADS provides overnight shelter, nutritious meals, and warm hospitality to their guests. Since PADS began in October 2010, the program has served more than 300 different men, women and children with as many as 79 in one winter season. Over five winter seasons, volunteers have provided 5,794 “overnight stays”, served 17,369 meals, and given information to homeless guests to link them to much needed help from local social service agencies.

Plano schools will Yorkville, Knights hosting Fall Fest lead special ed co-op KENDALL COUNTY RECORD

By LYLE R. ROLFE news@kendallcountynow.com Four area school districts may soon be sharing the costs of educating students with special needs, according to Dr. Hector Garcia, Plano School superintendent. The Plano District 88 School Board has unanimously approved an agreement to form a new cooperative. The agreement outlines the proposed participating school districts, as well as the structure, membership, financing, governance and other basis requirements for the cooperative. Garcia said the cooperative is being set up with Plano as the fiscal agent and host. Illinois school districts have a choice of two ways for educating special-needs students in their districts. These are students who have IEPs (individual education plans) based on their specific needs. They range in age from elementary school through high school and some into their early 20s. Garcia said every school district must provide education for special-needs students of all ages and for ones who may live in a neighboring district that does not have a program. This includes students with autism to those with emotional disorders to cover the full spectrum of special needs. Every school district must either have an in-house special education program or belong to a cooperative according to state law. And the teachers must be trained to teach students with special needs. Plano had been a member of the Kendall County Special Education Cooperative until several months ago, when Oswego withdrew and the co-op was dissolved. Since then, Plano school board members considered forming their own cooperative and asked Yorkville, the Newark elementary and high school districts and the Lisbon elementary district, which were in the original cooperative, to join them. Garcia said Yorkville considered joining, but has since decided not to. He did not know what that district’s

plans are for the future, but it could still join the new cooperative, he said. By joining a cooperative, districts can save money by sharing the cost with other members. Garcia told board members the new cooperative will be named the Plano Area Special Education Cooperative and will focus on maintaining or enhancing the current services and programs for every child in the member districts. The cooperative’s executive board will consist of the superintendent of each participating school district or their designee. The administrative cost is proposed to be divided among the four districts based on the number of students each would expect to have. Using the present number of special-needs students in the member districts, each Newark district would pay 4 percent of the total cost, Lisbon 2 percent and Plano 90 percent. However, this could change depending on the number of special-needs students each school district would have at the time the cooperative starts. Garcia estimated Plano’s cost to be $2.5 million to $3 million, but this could be reduced if more districts would join the coop. “We’ll be talking to others in the area but we can go only so far before the cost of transporting students becomes too expensive,” he said. All money comes from state and federal special education funds. If the funds were not available, the districts would probably shut down he said. “But,” he added, “I have never heard of any politician talking about not funding special education.” He said each district will pay based on the number of students it has in the cooperative. These funds then become the operating budget for the cooperative. Based on current information, officials are estimating student enrollment of 130 to 150. They are hoping to have the application prepared and ready to present to the state by next April. And Garcia

Kendall County home sales increased in August WOW 7 Median price for homes CINEMA By MATT SCHURY mschury@shawmedia.com Home sales in Kendall County for the month of August were up significantly from the same time last year, something that analysts believe might be part of a broader trend. About 245 sales closed in August 2015 compared to 212 last August, a 15.6 percent increase, according to the Illinois Association of Realtors’ latest report. Beth David, of Coldwell Banker Honig-Bell (team Michelson), gave a couple reasons why she is optimistic about the housing market. “Two of the reasons that

it is definitely positive and better are the interest rates are still low and it has gotten so expensive to rent,” David said. “Some people can have a house for literally what their rental payment is.” The IAR report showed that the monthly average commitment rate for a 30year, fixed-rate mortgage for the North Central Region was 3.90 percent in August 2015, down from 4.04 percent the previous month, according to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. In August 2014 it averaged 4.11 percent. Year-to-date sales data was likewise positive with 1,599 homes sold through

The number of days a home sat on the market was 59 this August compared to 48 days last year and yearto-date, days until sale were also flat at 64 days this year. David also pointed out that home inventory is down and properties are selling more quickly because of simple supply and demand, which is driving up the price of homes. “We are seeing some building again as well … not like it was when there was a subdivision on every corner in Kendall County,” David said. She mentioned that the market seems to be shifting from a buyer’s market to a seller’s market. “It seems to be changing a little bit; it’s not a buyer’s market any more. For the last few years it was very much so but that seems to be

changing now because of the inventory,” she said. Statewide home sales (including single-family homes and condominiums) in August 2015 totaled 15,088 homes sold, up 0.9 percent from August 2014 when 14,957 homes sold, the IAR report shows. The statewide median price in August 2015 rose to $180,900, a 3.4 percent gain over August 2014’s statewide median price of $175,000. The median is a typical market price where half the homes sold for more and half sold for less. “Sales returned to a more modest long-term annual growth rate in August while prices continued to increase,” said Geoffrey J.D. Hewings, director of the Regional Economics Applications Laboratory at the University of Illinois.

rose 6.1 percent to $197,900

the first eight months of the year in 2015 compared to 1,387 sales during the same time last year, a 15.3 percent increase. David added that there are loans available still that don’t require the person to put much money down. David also pointed out that home inventory is down and things are selling more quickly because of simple supply and demand, which is driving up the price of homes. “If something is priced right it is definitely selling quickly,” she said. Home sales prices were also up in Kendall County. The median price for a home in August was $197,900, a 6.1 percent increase from August 2014. Year-to-date median prices showed a similar increase at $196,000 this year compared to $180,000 during the first eight months of 2014.

BOYS SOCCER

Foxes post a win, two ties in recent action CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com In the past week of play, the Yorkville boys’ soccer team produced a win and two ties and are currently 7-4-2 overall and 2-1-1 Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference in the entering this week of play against Geneseo and Plainfield East. On Sept. 22, Yorkville and Kaneland finished in a 1-1 knot in Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference action. The Foxes then defeated LaSalle-Peru, 8-0, last Thursday in a conference crossover game. On Monday, Yorkville finished in a 3-3 tie with East Aurora. Against East Aurora, Yorkville saw Alex Noyola, Bobby Reichert and Matt Sutkay score the goals with assists being provided by Reichert (two) and Jake Slavin. Four goals were called back. “Every player on the field for Yorkville kept a

level head, considering the four goals that were called back,” Yorkville head coach Andrew Johnson said. “There was constant pressure on the opponent and the offense was in high gear throughout. Two of the three goals for East Aurora were the result of penalties called against (us – a penalty kick and an indirect kick).” Against LaSalle Peru, Yorkville led 7-0 at halftime. Goals were by Bailey Kish (three goals), Noyola (two goals), David Cervantes, Jeremy Schwarz and Charlie Williams. Reichert posted three assists, Schwarz had two and Sutkay, Steve Ramirez and Wyatt McKibbon each had one for the Foxes. “Outstanding team game with everyone contributing,” Johnson said. Against Kaneland, Yorkville led 1-0 at halftime. Schwarz scored the goal on an assist from Noyola. “Our defensive line

played extremely well and our midfield possessed often,” Johnson said. “However, our team decision making into the attack was

poor. The one big mistake we had on defense cost us a win, and instead we settle for a draw. This was a tough one.”

unusual handicap KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com The Newark golf team has had limited time on the course this season, and the inability to tour the greens more often proved to be a handicap Friday in the Little Ten Conference tournament. Indian Creek won the 18hole event at Orchard Valley Golf Club with a 325 thanks to medalist Peyton Gatz’s 73, and Earlville surprised the field with a runner-up 391. “We’re playing Earlville in a dual meet [this week] and I was surprised. They restarted their golf program just last year after dropping it and they’ve come a long way,” Newark head coach Jim Hissong said. “They really surprised us. When the kids got done, they said, ‘Where did Earlville come from?’ They were nothing last year and they’ve come a long way in just a year. They’ve done a great job.” Newark placed third with a 398, Hinckley-Big Rock shot a 427 and Somonauk was fifth at 446. “We’ve only played two or three 18-hole matches and every time we do, the scores are always higher on

the back nine than the front nine, and that tells you these kids don’t play 18 holes enough,” Hissong said. “That’s an issue that has caught up with us and it’s starting to show. The kids need to get out and play golf other than playing matches. When you’re getting into the 18-hole tournaments, you’re going to suffer on the back nine.” Newark was led by junior Cameron Myre’s 91 followed by freshman Corey Jacobson (101), freshman Brett Myre (103) and senior Tyler Kaufman (103). Newark was without two of its top four players last week and withdrew from the Dwight Invite on Sept. 24. The Norsemen will face Hinckley-Big Rock and Earlville at Whitetail Ridge and Seneca at Nettle Creek to close the regular season this week. The Class 1A Seneca Regional will take Newark back to Nettle Creek in Morris next Tuesday for the 12team event. “It’ll be nice to see part of the golf course and a lot of the kids have played that course before being as close as we are to Morris,” Hissong said.

Constructive criticism

Girls squad wins Palatine Invite, boys have breakthrough race By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com Yorkville cross country coach Chris Muth had positive feedback after the Foxes’ impressive day at Palatine’s Meet of Champions last Saturday, but knows the Foxes still have room to improve in the second half of the season. The girls’ squad captured first place in the 28-team field with 82 points – and even more impressive was the 12-second split between the five scoring runners. The boys finished ninth overall, but turned in the best overall split among the 31 teams with 23 seconds separating the top five and four seconds separating the top four. “The competition was great; there were some really, really good programs. First place for the girls is outstanding and ninth place for the guys is a little lower than we normally get, but the boys had a nice breakthrough this week so I’m very excited for them,” Muth said. In the girls’ race, sophomore Olivia Borowiak (18:02), senior Summer Pierson

(18:07), junior Maddie Dearborn (18:09) and junior Alexis Grandys (18:09) finished consecutively in 15-17th place. Freshman Nicole Greyer (18:14) was 21st overall to complete the top five, while sophomore Alyssa Edwards (18:29) and sophomore Maggie Klemm (19:02) also raced for Yorkville. “The girls ran a couple different racing strategies and we were trying to go with one, so it wasn’t the greatest race for them,” Muth said. “Any year you go through peaks and valleys and this is more of a valley for us this week. We were excited to win the meet, but it definitely wasn’t our best race of the year. I would have liked them to all be on the same wavelength.” Lyons Twp. was second with 135 points followed by Wheaton-Warrenville South (155), Palatine (156) and Barrington (181). In the boys’ race, senior Cody Hornyak finished 47th overall in 15:42 followed almost immediately by junior Alexx Nauman (15:45), sophomore Zack Price (15:46) and senior Trevor Wills (15:46). Senior Thor Hester clocked in at 16:06 as the fifth runner followed by senior Jake Firrantello (16:17)

and sophomore Patrick Black (16:32). “Our one through four split was really exciting. Cody stepped up big time. We were just looking for that one person to have a breakthrough and he really set the tone and had a big-time race for us,” Muth said. “Alexx and Zack really followed up after him. Thor didn’t have a perfect race for his standards, but he’s been having a great season. I know they’re going to progress as they go through.” York won the boys’ team title over Hindsale Central, 88-97. The Yorkville girls’ team will travel to the Wheaton North Flight Invite on Saturday. The boys will take the upcoming weekend off, returning to the starting line on Oct. 7 for Naperville North’s Twilight Race which will include the girls as well. “We are going to put what we consider our best lineup out there (at Wheaton). These are a lot of Class 3A teams, including Glenbard West, which we strive to be like. We’re really going to test ourselves against them as well as several other programs,” Muth said.

Yorkville quarterback Cameron Van Boekel looks to pass the ball late in the Foxes’ game against Morris.

Yorkville defense earns shutout win VanBoekel throws two TD passes in Foxes’ 14-0 victory By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com For the third straight year, the Yorkville football team defeated rival Morris. This year, the Foxes shut the Redskins out, 14-0, at home in Week 5. The win improved Yorkville to 3-2 overall, 1-1 in the league. The Foxes were coming off a tough 35-7 loss to Kaneland in Week 4, but bounced back nicely with their first shutout of the season. “We got too complacent after our last win [a 37-6 victory at Rochelle in Week 3],” Yorkville head coach Dan McGuire said. “[Morris] was a great win, but we have more to go. Of course we want to shut everyone out, but realistically, we knew they had a great offense with physical running backs – they are just a physical team all the way up and down. They are a good team, so we should be proud of doing that against such a good team.” After a scoreless first quarter, Yorkville scored its first touchdown with 1:23 remaining in the first half. Quarterback Cameron Van Boekel found Andrew Malinowski with a sixyard pass after having possession of the ball for almost six minutes. Cade Henry hit the PAT, and the Foxes led 7-0 at the break. After a scoreless third quarter, the Foxes scored their second and final score of the night when Van Boekel found Malinowski again with a 29-yard pass and back-to-back Bryce Shewan carries that led to Van Boekel finding Malinowski with a 1-yard pass to the end zone. Henry’s PAT was good with 8:20 left in the game. Van Boekel ended up with 128 yards passing, Shewan finished with 111 yards rushing and Malinowski had 66 yards receiving for the Foxes. “It’s a very disappointing game,” Morris head coach Alan Thorson said. “You have to give Yorkville credit – they came out and beat us. “The frustrating thing on our end is that they didn’t run a single play we didn’t practice a hundred times, they didn’t do a defense we didn’t practice a hundred times.

Yorkville’s Bryce Shewan runs for a nice gain against Morris on Friday night at Campbell Field. They just executed better, and you have to give their kids credit, their coaches credit – it’s a disappointing loss. We made too many mistakes - penalties killed us. I don’t think we deserved to win this one.” Yorkville’s Week 6 opponent is Geneseo, a team that defeated the Foxes 13-0 last year. The Maple Leafs are 5-0 overall (2-0 in the Northern Illinois Big 12 West Division) after the 26-0 win over Rochelle in Week 5. “[Geneseo] will be a challenge,” McGuire said. “They breed kids to play football and they have a great program, so we’ll have our work cut out for us.”

Kaneland has had Yorkville’s number on the volleyball court since late last season, including a 2014 spoiler to share the Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference title, but Tuesday night belonged to the Foxes. The co-defending Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference champs battled it out in a heated second set, but Kaneland could not force the tiebreaker as Yorkville swept the match, 25-15, 25-23. Yorkville improved to 18-5 on the season and 4-0 in league play. “We know that’s a good squad,” Yorkville head coach Mike Dunn said. “They beat us at the Wheaton North tournament, but we were without Jordan [Albarran], and they beat us here last year too and that’s something that was in the back of our mind; a little pay back. I thought we played well tonight. We’ve really been working defensively and we made some adjustments.” Albarran, Yorkville’s powerful Dayton-bound outside hitter, is well known in the league, and Kaneland put a pair of blockers on 6-foot-3 junior middle Katie Nolan, but the Knights were not prepared for Yorkville’s right side attack. “Our two right sides played very well, and that opens up the whole court for our outsides. They’re camping on Katie Nolan in the middle, and when that happens, it opens up our offense a bit more. It’s a team effort,” Dunn said. The Knights (14-8, 2-2 NIB12 East) kept pace with Yorkville early in Set 1, trailing 12-11 after a kill from Kaneland junior Jessica Weber (five kills), but the Foxes went on a 7-0 run thanks to strong right side play from senior Chelsey Ellen, who knocked down two attacks during the stretch. Ellen and junior teammate Lindsay Loquercio worked out of the right side to combine for 10 kills in the match. “We all work very well together and we’re all very team-oriented. Wherever they put us, we just play,” Ellen said. “This my first time playing right side and it’s very different than outside. It helps with the setters that we have the same setters every time.” Yorkville established a 20-12 lead on a Kaneland serving error and two points from Albarran (eight kills, five digs), and ended the set with a pair of outside attacks from sophomore Jenna Fosnacht (six kills) and Loquercio. The Knights rebounded in the second set, playing point for point with the Foxes behind strong swings by freshman Katelyn Jablonski and junior Jessica Weber. Kaneland stuck to its game plan and eventually built an 18-17 lead on Yorkville before the Foxes took control. The Knights blocked a Yorkville shot and stayed alive on a Jablonski kill for a 24-23 game, but Nolan (six kills, two blocks) knocked down the game-winning point out of the middle to end the night. Yorkville junior setter Laiken Miller finished with nine assists while senior Abby Guddendorf had eight. Senior libero Ashley Deichmueller led the defensive effort with 15 digs. “I’m proud of the girls. We’ve fought through a lot of adversity this year with kids getting hurt, playing a much tougher schedule and we’ve won two tournaments and we’re getting better. We’re improving

Crime prevention talks held SHAW MEDIA Kendall County State’s Attorney Eric Weis joined other law enforcement officials in Chicago last week to speak with Illinois Department of Human Services Secretary-designate James Dimas to discuss the current and future funding of programs for children that prevent crime. Weis is a member of the

Illinois Executive Board for Fight Crime: Invest in Kids, Illinois. The law enforcement leaders represented over 300 law enforcement leaders who are members of Fight Crime: Invest in Kids Illinois, an anti-crime organization that advocates for evidence-based investments in programs for kids that are proven to cut crime and violence.

Fight Crime: Invest in Kids Illinois discussed with Dimas how Teen REACH, an after-school program, early childhood education, and Redeploy Illinois are effective tools to keep children from entering the criminal justice system. “The reality is that without these types of programs, too many kids will end up in our criminal justice system,” Weis said.

Local congressmen embrace pope’s message SHAW MEDIA U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, on Thursday urged his fellow congressmen to accept a challenge from Pope Francis, issued during the pope’s address to Congress. Foster, via a news release, wrote “it’s important for all elected officials to remember why we take these jobs – to serve our community and our fellow man, and do our best to lift up all people. The pope challenged us to renew a ‘spirit of cooperation’ to meet those goals. I hope my colleagues in Congress will join me in accepting that challenge.” Foster was among the local congressmen to issue statements addressing the pope’s appearance. U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, issued a news release calling it a “historic address.” “Pope Francis brought the inspiring message of ‘hope and healing, of peace and justice’ to America and its representatives,” Hulgren wrote. “From his servant’s heart he called all of us to care for the poor, the sick, and everyone at all stages of life.” U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Wheaton, wrote in a release Thursday “it was an honor to hear from Pope Francis at this morning’s historic address to Congress.” “His Holiness exhibited the profound compassion and commitment to God that has made him an inspiration to millions of people of all faiths worldwide,”

Roskam wrote. “Pope Francis also reminded us of our sacred responsibility to defend life – a duty that Congress has a unique opportunity to fulfill in the coming days.” Foster, in his statement, wrote the pope “has energized people across the country and the world with his message of stewardship of the earth and compassion for all mankind.” “It’s a message that is sorely needed in Congress,” Foster wrote. “I am especially pleased that he brought up issues like income inequality, caring for the environment and treating immigrants with com-

passion.” Hultgren wrote the pope “talked about America as a land of opportunity.” “We need to take up his call to make sure it remains a place for everyone to succeed,” Hultgren wrote. “I was thrilled he mentioned my home state hero, Abraham Lincoln, our ‘guardian of liberty.’ I was most struck by his emphasis on the family, the building block of our society and our great nation.” Roskam wrote “we can heed the words of His Holiness by working together to advance freedom and opportunity around the world.”

Smile! It Will Make You and Others Happy! Forgive Yourself

There is a very interesting psychology experiment where you trick people into either smiling or frowning without their knowing it (by telling them to hold a pencil either in their teeth, to make them “But if we walk in the light, smile, or with their pursed lips, to make them as he is in the light, we have frown), and while they hold that facial position you fellowship with one another, tell them a joke. Those who are holding the smile and the blood of Jesus, his Son, usually rate the joke as being funnier, presumably purifies us from all sin.” because they are already halfway laughing to start —1 John 1:7 NIV with. The moral of the experiment, if experiments can be said to have a moral, is that our bodies often take the lead in making us feel happy or sad, or calm or anxious. Droopy, lackadaisical posture will make you feel defeated while standing up tall and strong will make you feel like a winner. So hat we tend to remember misdeeds years (and sometimes even smile, even when you don’t feel much like smiling, decades) after the original offense says something important about us. or perhaps you don’t much That is, we are deeply imbued with a especially sense of when morality, and feel when we like which smiling.hurts Andanother an added benefit smiling is that have committed a serious offense, especially one person, weto may have trouble it tends to spread the happiness. anwhat attitude getting over the shame and humiliation, even long after the other person has forgivenHave us.

Youth can spend Columbus Day focused on STEM with 4-H “In one fun and functional morning, participants will experience four STEM-related experiments that will challenge them to think like a scientist or engineer,” said University of Illinois Extension educator Deanna Roby. “We hope to inspire youth to grow into problem solvers and active citizens.” At the “Hands On, Minds On 2.0” event, youth will work together to: • Create a mini-robot to understand technology’s role in environmental science • Engineer a wind turbine and test energy output • Explore aerospace engineering principles by creating and launching paper rockets

SHAW MEDIA Turn a day off from school into a day of science and technology with the local 4-H Youth Development program. The “Hands On, Minds On 2.0” event brings back this popular, interactive science series to the Fox Valley area. This year’s program is designed for youth in third through sixth grades, and features four creative, challenging 4-H National Youth Science Day activities, including the 2015 project Motion Commotion. All focus on at least one component of STEM – or science, technology, engineering and math.

• Experience the relationship between speed and stopping distance, and apply it to everyday life. “Hands On, Minds On 2.0” will be from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 12 at the Kane County Fairgrounds in St. Charles, with check-in at 9 a.m. Pre-registration is required, and space is limited. For more information or to sign up online, visit http://web.extension.illinois.edu/dkk/science4h. Cost is $15 per child. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate, please notify two weeks prior to the event. For questions, contact Roby at 630-584-6166 or roby@illinois.edu.

Fall lawn care includes topdressing, mowing higher, weed control Early fall is a great time to work on the lawn. There are several management practices that complement the core aeration this column addressed a few weeks ago. These all will benefit the health and look of the lawn. Topdressing with a quality black dirt, composts or compost blends will provide additional benefits. Organic matter will conserve and hold moisture, feed the microbial life that in turn will work with the grass plants roots to provide needed nutrients over long periods of time. Another easy way to improve the look and health of the lawn is check out the lawnmower. Consider raising the mowing height even just one notch. Research shows that a taller grass blade promotes deep-

DOWN THE GARDEN PATH Richard Hentschel er growing roots. Another benefit to the lawn will be the appearance of the lawn if the mower blade is sharp. Consider that a sharp blade means the mower engine has to work less, creating less air pollution too. As the leaves begin to fall and accumulate on the lawn, frequent mowing will allow the mower to handle the leaves and cut them up fine enough to be left on the lawn. There will be those times when leaves will build up and removal is needed. Rather than mow and bag them for city pickup, consider the benefit of a compost pile or use

the leaf and grass mixture as a mulch in perennial beds or turn them under in the vegetable garden. This mixture of leaves and grass make a great addition to the compost pile with the greens supplying the nitrogen and water and the browns supplying the carbon. A fall weed control practice also could be done. Weed seeds have likely germinated and plants are present right now. Controlling them now means you should not be seeing those bright yellow flowers in the lawn next spring. Remember, the first fall best practice is core aeration, which will benefit the lawn long term. Homeowners can rent the coring machine or have a lawn service provide the service for your yard.

water into the soil profile. The more air and water is available, the better the grass root growth. Better root systems then do a better job of feeding the above ground parts and are more drought resistant. After the coring is done, just leave the plugs on the lawn to dry a couple of days and mow normally. The plugs will be broken up and act as a mini topdressing. This will aid in thatch management. As weeks pass, you can see that grass roots have filled in the cores as there is ample air and water available.

machine will remove a plug (core) containing a bit of grass, thatch and soil about three or so inches deep and leave that core on the surface of the lawn. Also, the machine will work much better and be easier on the user if the soil is already moist. Most know that core aeration will relieve soil compaction. There are two additional benefits that come along. By coring the lawn, there is a dramatic increase in total soil surface area. These cores then allow additional air and

Learn meaning of four Hs Saturday Community invited to hear about youth, volunteer programs SHAW MEDIA Ever wonder what 4-H is, or what the four Hs stand for? Answer these questions and learn more about this positive youth development program by experiencing the four Hs – head, heart, hands and health – through fun activities and informative stations this October. Kendall County 4-H will host an open house to kick-off the new 4-H year on Saturday, Oct. 3 from 1 to 3 p.m. in Yorkville. The event provides an opportunity for interested families and community members to learn about 4-H, meet club members and volunteer leaders, check out 4-H curriculum and projects, and take part in handson activities. “This annual 4-H open house welcomes interested families to come check out what Kendall County 4-H is all about,” said Kendall County 4-H Program Coordinator Kim Eisnaugle. “It also signifies the start of a new 4-H year and of National 4-H Week, which is Oct. 4 to 10 this year.” Every county in Illinois has a 4-H program, which is operated through University of Illinois Extension. 4-H club membership is open to youth aged 8 to 18, and the Cloverbud program is designed for ages 5 to 7. “4-H Youth Development programs provide hands-on learning, and focus on building leadership, citizenship and life skills,” said Eisnaugle. “We also place an emphasis on community service and healthy lifestyles. Through 4-H, youth can explore many areas of study, including culinary arts, visual arts, horticulture, technology, science and more than 100 others. According to a 10-year Tufts University research project, 4-H youth are five times more likely to graduate from college than non-4-H peers. 4-H members also are: four times more likely to make contributions to their communities, three times more likely to spend time exercising or being physically active, and twice as likely to be active in school and achieve academically. The Kendall County 4-H kickoff event will be at the University of Illinois Extension office, 7775B Illinois Route 47 in Yorkville. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in any program, please contact the office at 630-553-5823, at least two weeks prior to the event. For more information on the 4-H program in Kendall County, visit web.extension.illinois.edu/ dkk/ 4-H is part of University of Illinois Extension. It is a community of young people across America learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills.

October is officially “Oak-tober,” following a proclamation from the Illinois governor’s office to promote the importance of oak trees in the environment. The white oak is the Illinois State Tree. Oak trees clean the air and water, reduce flooding, and support native wildlife. The Conservation Foundation and other environmental organizations want to highlight the need for native oaks to be planted in the region. Some ideas that schools and communities can participate in include: Hold an Oak Workday to remove invasive species; plant, water and mulch oak trees; take a walk with friends and family through an oak woodland, collect acorns and plant them in pots to plant outside later; find your community’s largest oak. Other ideas to celebrate “Oak-tober” can be found at the Chicago Region Trees Initiative website at chicagorti.org/resources/oaktober-oak-awareness-month. The Conservation Foundation has more than 4,000 members and donors, and

Visor cards made for deaf drivers SHAW MEDIA The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office has partnered with the Achieving Independence and Mobility Center for Independent Living (AIM Center) to enable deputies to effectively communicate with deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals during traffic contacts. A visor card was created for deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals to present to a deputy during a traffic contact. The yellow, double-sided visor card provides a warning on the front of the card that the driver has special communication needs. Also on the front of the card are several pictures for the deputy to point to in order to inform the driver of the reason for the contact. The back of the card lists different methods the driver may use to communicate, tips for how deputies can make the interaction successful, tips for the individuals using the card, and several pictures the individual can point to and request help. The visor card was created by Laura Thompson, communications access advocate for the AIM Center, and Deputy Greg Shadle. Shadle, a 16-year veteran of the sheriff’s office, has earned a certificate in American Sign Language interpretation from Waubonsee Community College.

The Grundy-Kendall Regional Office of Education presented a Truancy Summit on Thursday, Sept. 17, at the Whitetail Ridge Golf Club in Yorkville. Over 110 counselors, social workers, nurses, attendance secretaries, administrators, probation officers and court-appointed advocates attended the half-day event.

A visor card was created by the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office and AIM Center for deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals to present to a deputy during a traffic contact. “Communication is an important aspect of police work and situations can quickly go bad without effective communication,” said Sheriff Dwight Baird. “The creation and use of these visor cards will allow for effective communication and lessen the chance of a situation going bad.” The visor cards will be available at the AIM Center, 3130

Finley Road, Suite 500, Downers Grove, and the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office. These cards are also being developed in other languages to meet the needs of Kendall County. The next edition will be released in Spanish. The AIM Center provides leadership through training, community development and advocacy to enable persons with disabilities to fully participate

in family, social and community life. Contact Laura Thompson at 630-469-2300 or Video Relay at 630-984-4251 for information regarding AIM Center programs. The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office is looking to partner with other law enforcement agencies interested in utilizing these visor cards. Interested agencies are asked to contact the sheriff’s office.

Regional Superintendent Christopher Mehochko welcomed the attendees and moderated the event. Mehochko said that the purpose of the Truancy Summit was to share the best practices of individual school districts and communities. Brenda Karales, assistant state’s attorney of Kendall County, was the keynote speaker at the summit. She congratulated those in

attendance for the work that they do and said, “It is hard work sometimes, but when we all work together it can be Brenda done.” Karales Karales said that when truant cases are referred to the state’s attorney’s office, youth first go to a court diversion program

that involves counseling and drug testing among other compliance terms. If the court diversion doesn’t improve school attendance, Karales said that she needs good records of communication with parents and copies of doctors’ notes so she can take the case to court; penalties that could result from going to court include fines, a suspended driver’s license, and being referred to DCFS.
