The city of Yorkville’s effort to expand its network of bike and pedestrian trails has crossed another threshold.

The Yorkville City Council has agreed to pursue an agreement with the Illinois Commerce Commission that would allow for the construction of a pedestrian and bike crossing at the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railway tracks at Kennedy Road.

FUN IS PART OF FAIR TRADITION T

housands of area residents of all ages enjoyed the Kendall County Fair held last Thursday through Sunday on the fairgrounds off Ill. Route 71 in Yorkville. Among the featured attractions at the fair were 4-H exhibits and competitions, a livestock show, plenty of food, live music and a tractor pull.

More photos from the fair are on page 6 of this section.

The grade-level crossing would be part of a 10-footwide pedestrian/bicycle path the city wants to construct on Kennedy Road.

The proposed $1.7 million Kennedy Road bike trail has been in the works for the past several years.

About 80 percent of the project is to be paid for through state and federal funds, and 20 percent from local sources. The city’s main grant from IDOT for the project is about $1.4 million.

A not-for-profit citizens

group called Push for the Path has raised more than $170,000 toward the bike trail effort. The Push for the Path goal is to raise $357,000, in order to qualify for matching grant funds from the state, city officials said.

That effort began after resident Darlene McCue was struck by a car and killed in 2009 on the road while riding her bike with her daughter.

The City Council voted 6-2 to approve the measure.

Additional right-of-way and easements will be required throughout the project. Some residences will be relocated. Rightof-way acquisition and relocation assistance information will be available. No wetland impacts are anticipated. No highway noise mitigation is proposed.

The purpose of the hearing is to present proposed project information and potential impacts and to answer project questions and receive public comments. IDOT per-

mschury@kendallcountynow.com The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office expects to soon complete their investigation into allegations that Oswego Township Highway Commissioner Gary Grosskopf has been overseeing his office for most of the past year from a home he kept in Florida.

The sheriff’s office received a complaint from a resident on July 16 alleging that Grosskopf had not been living within the township prior to the most recent consolidated election held in April, according to Det. Sgt. Joe Jaznosz.

“Some documentation supporting the allegation was provided to our office concerning that and we have been working in conjunction with the [Kendall County] state’s attorney’s office, who is aware of it and is reviewing the case with us at this time,” Jaznosz said. “We have an active investigation into the matter. I can’t put a timeframe on when it would be done but there isn’t that much more work to be accomplished on this case.”

Grosskopf, 52, of Oswego, has been township highway supervisor for 26 years. The Oswego Township Road District is responsible for snowplowing and maintaining roads in the unincorporated areas of Oswego Township, including the Boulder Hill subdivision.

Grosskopf apologized for his extended absences in a prepared state-

ment he released last month.

“I understand the negative perception and I apologize to the people of Oswego Township for my actions.

I have been Oswego Township Highway Commissioner for half of my life and I have always tried to run the department to the best of my ability,” he said.

The Oswego Township Board of Trustees is set to Gary meet Tuesday, Aug. Grosskopf 11, at 6:30 p.m. at 84 Templeton Drive in Oswego.

Tom Yackley, an Oswego Township trustee, said he expects Grosskopf will attend the meeting along with some residents who may have questions for him. Yackley said that he doesn’t want to comment on the allegations against Grosskopf.

“I’ve seen a lot of information that people have said this and this and this that they’ve heard, but those are allegations and not fact.

I don’t have any documentation,” Yackley said.

He explained that Grosskopf answers to the voters while the township board approves his budget each year. He added that as long as Grosskopf stays within that budget, there is not a lot the board can do as far as ousting him from his position.

“We control the purse strings,” Yackley said. “The only time we have any say-so is when he brings his budget up for review.”

By DAN WAITT dwaitt@shawmedia.com The newest addition to the city’s vehicle fleet has no air conditioning, no stereo and no WiFi capability.

But it could go a long way to making the Parks Department surfaces a little bit smoother.

The Yorkville City Council recently approved the purchase of a used 2009 LeeBoy 1000 paving machine.

At a cost of $35,500, the preowned machine will get use this fall on some of the surfaces in need of repair for the Parks Department.

“We already have areas that we could be addressing right now,” said Tim Evans, director of the Yorkville Parks and Recreation Department.

The City Council approved the measure as part of its consent agenda.

The purchase of a used paver was included in the Parks and Recreation capital portion of the approved budget.

The paver will be purchased from Casey Equipment Co. Inc. City officials said the preowned paver would be less than half the cost of a new model, and with two city employees who have experience operating a paver, this was a good time for the city to buy.

“We already have areas that we could be addressing right now.”

Tim Evans Yorkville Parks and Recreation Department director One of the parks employees worked for Aurora Blacktop for two and a half years and another ran a small paver for the DuPage County Forest Preserve District, officials said. There could be other opportunities for city employees to train at the union hall during the winter.

Officials said that the machine would likely be used this summer and fall to overlay the basketball court at Fox Hill, pave the approaches to the trails at Autumn Creek, Whispering Meadows and Riverfront Park, pave the drive and parking lot at Bristol Bay and pave parking lots.

The equipment, however, will likely not be used to repave city streets, as it is a smaller machine designed mainly for trails, officials said.

Although Alderman Joel Frieders appeared to volunteer his subdivision streets to give it a try.

“I would like to see a test run of this paver,” he said.

2 aldermen have concerns about spending on project • BIKE TRAIL

Continued from page 1 Joining Alderman Carlo Colosimo in voting no was Alderman Seaver Tarulis.

Tarulis said he was opposed to adding “more expense on the city’s budget at a time when we can’t maintain what we have.”

“I am so happy to have an ally,” said Colosimo, who has opposed city expenditures for the bike path in the past.

However, others noted that funding for the rail crossing was projected in the original budget for the project.

Others cited safety at what will likely be a key path for children riding their bikes to reach the athletic fields at Grande Reserve.

“I don’t think it is a luxury,”

Alderman Joel Frieders said.

The tracks belong to the BNSF. Improvements to the crossing, including widening of the crossing surface at the tracks and the construction of pedestrian gates, are necessary to promote the safety of path users.

According to the plan, the proposed improvements will be constructed by BNSF and the city will be responsible for the expense of the improvements as well as future inspection and maintenance costs.

The city would be billed by BNSF for the monthly inspection costs and any necessary maintenance and repairs to the crossing.

Meanwhile, the Push for the Path group has scheduled its annual golf outing and fundraiser for Sept. 26 at Blackberry Oaks Golf Course.

‘Court day’ training program begins SHAW MEDIA Kendall County State’s Attorney Eric Weis announced this week his office has implemented a new “court day” training program designed to keep law enforcement officers aware of new case law, legislative updates and procedures. The program began Aug. 3 at the county courthouse in Yorkville.

Currently, Kendall County law enforcement officers are assigned one court date per month where they appear in court for any citations they have written or any trials they are involved in. Starting this week, assistant state’s attorneys will conduct condensed versions of training seminars for officers on a

monthly basis.

This training will occur prior to the regular court call scheduled for 1 p.m.

The training will last 15-20 minutes and the topics will vary from month to month.

Officers can request topics to be covered during the next month’s training.

Weis said, “The ‘court day’ training program was suggested by one of my prosecutors during a staff meeting. We worked out the logistics and I think that this training will only benefit law enforcement going forward. This new method of training will allow officers within the county the same training and information on a timely basis. Officers will be made aware of new or changing laws or proce-

dures in a much quicker time frame.”

Weis continued, “This training will be at no cost to the law enforcement agency nor will it require any additional cost for the officer to attend the training as he/she is already here for his/her court appearance.

“Finally, officers will be able to ask questions face-to-face with a familiar assistant state’s attorney who they are comfortable with and trust. I think that it will be a win-win for law enforcement as well as the judicial system,” Weis said.

The “court day” training is designed to supplemental the rigorous training that law enforcement officers receive through their departments.

Prof., general, bargeman, president REFLECTIONS Roger Matile Here’s hoping your August gets off to a good start. Me, I’m looking forward to our annual family reunion and also to heading north to do a little summer fishing and lake watching.

August is the month when kids start realizing they’ll be heading back to school soon, and so start frantically trying to enjoy themselves before all their free time disappears and they have to start doing homework and writing essays on “How I Spent My Summer Vacation.”

It’s also the month when parents start longingly looking forward to school starting as well, so that the kids have something other than begging to go to Great America to keep them occupied.

And with all that going on, it’s probably not surprising that life outside of school angst goes on.

The grass gets mowed, cars get washed, and the U.S. Postal Service’s faithful mail carriers continue to make their rounds, no matter how hot and muggy August weather gets.

And, with no further ado, here are a few things I might have never found out if I hadn’t opened all the junk mail that arrives in the mailbox out in front of the Matile Manse each and every day the mail carrier arrives: The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag first appeared in a magazine for boys, the Youth’s Companion, in 1892 as an advertising promotion.

The only time in U.S. history that the president and vice president were members of different political parties occurred when Thomas Jefferson, a Republican, became vice president under John Adams, a Federalist, in 1797.

That was because in those days, the person who got the highest number of votes became president and he who received the second highest number got the vice president’s slot. I wonder how Hillary and, say, Jeb would work together under a system like that? Probably about as well as Jefferson and Adams did. By the way, Jefferson’s Republican Party was the ancestor of today’s Democratic Party.

The Federalists became Whigs, who eventually turned into Republicans.

Not very social at best, moose stay strictly solo during the summer months.

As cold weather approaches, though, they gather in small bands. I wonder if they play straight jazz or if they mix in a little rock ’n roll?

Says here that Leon Trotsky, one of the leaders of the Russian Revolution, was once an extra in American silent movies. Fun fact, but, alas, untrue. Trotsky did indeed live in New York City for two months during 1917, but he worked as a journalist and lecturer.

Yes, the weather has been going nuts lately. While record heat has plagued Russia, the Arctic and Antarctic, other places around the globe have been plagued with record cold. In 2012, for instance, snow fell on the Sahara Desert for the first time in 30 years. The locals said snow is good for the palm trees since it kills parasites.

I bet they had a hard time buying snow shovels.

Back in 1972, the tiny country of Bhutan, north of India, issued a postage stamp that was actually a tiny phonograph record. It played the Bhutanese national anthem, provided, of course, you’ve got a tiny record player. Or any record player at all.

Both the Marquis de Lafayette, who served as a mediocre – but popular – officer in our Revolutionary War, and his wife had the same first name: Marie. Kind of reminds me of “A Boy Named Sue.”

AMENDMENT

James A. Garfield, our 20th president, served as a Union general during the Civil War, in addition to once working as a professor and a bargeman.

Contrary to a popular historical rumor, Leon Trotsky, one of the fathers of the Russian Revolution, never appeared as an extra in American silent movies.

How about you?

The first coast-to-coast paved road was the Lincoln Highway, which opened (though it wasn’t paved coast-to-coast until much later) in 1913. U.S. Route 30 – the Lincoln Highway – runs through Oswego Township today as it still winds through the middle of America on its way both east and west.

An unnamed Maine gardener was the first U.S. resident to somehow get hold of rhubarb seed or root stock from Europe sometime between 1790 and 1800. He then introduced the plant to growers in Massachusetts, where its popularity spread, and by 1822 it was being sold in produce markets and grown in increasingly wide areas of the nation.

A hangnail is not called that because it hangs, but rather because it hurts. Ang in old English meant “pain.”

A millennium before the world’s first coins were struck, checks inscribed on clay tablets were used as currency in ancient Babylonia. I wonder how they went about balancing a clay tablet?

The world’s largest collection of baseball cards can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It boasts way more than 200,000 likenesses of players. We all knew baseball cards were art when we were kids, didn’t we?

Speaking of baseball, DeWolf Hopper, during his career as an actor and light opera star, recited “Casey at the Bat” at least 10,000 times.

The Marquis de Lafayette, an officer in the Continental Army in our Revolutionary War, and his wife had the same first name: Marie.

Gin gets its name from a corruption of the French word genievre, or “juniper,” the source of gin’s characteristic flavor.

According to Mark Twain, “If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a man and his dog.” I always said that if you want to read philosophy, read Twain.

The Midwest has the highest boat ownership per capita in the U.S., with 239 boats per 1,000 residents. Alaska has the highest number of boats per household, with an average of 39.4 percent of households owning boats.

In the early 1800s, half a Washington stamp (the 10-cent variety) was often used for five-cent postage. I don’t imagine the U.S. Postal Service would take too kindly to that nowadays.

A modern silicon integrated chip less than a half-inch square today has the same computing capacity as the original 1949 ENIAC computer, which occupied a city block. Today, people carry more computing power around in their briefcases than was available to the whole U.S. government back then.

Finally, James A. Garfield, a Civil War Union general and the 20th President of the U.S., was both a canal bargeman and a professor of Greek and Latin before gaining the White House. I wonder which helped him the most?

OUR VIEW

Support key on Route 30 project As we reported last week, the Kendall County Board has authorized an engineering study for improvements to the intersection of Orchard and Galena roads in Montgomery. The county, which owns and maintains Orchard Road, is seeking to improve both traffic safety and flow at the increasingly busy intersection.

In making the request for funding for the engineering study, County Engineer Fran Klaas noted that traffic volume on Orchard Road is now approaching 30,000 vehicles a day. That means the number of motorists using Orchard Road is comparable to the 30,000 motorists who daily travel the county’s largest commercial corridor on U.S. Route 34 south of U.S. Route 30 in Oswego, according to traffic data provided by the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Given the high volume of traffic now using Orchard Road, motorists should appreciate the foresight of county officials back in the 1980s that planned and then built the Orchard Road extension in a series of phases south from Route 30, across the Fox River, to Ill. Route 71 in what is now Oswego. Just as county, Oswego and Montgomery officials once envisioned, the Orchard Road corridor continues to attract tax-generating businesses while also helping move traffic.

While the county is moving forward with plans to improve the Orchard and Galena road intersection, we are certain that many area motorists would like to see the nearby intersection of Orchard Road and Route 30 in Montgomery improved. The intersection is now the scene of daily rush hour traffic backups and frequent collisions.

The good news is that IDOT – which has jurisdiction over the intersection – is proceeding with planning for the eventual upgrading of the intersection as part of a larger plan to rebuild and widen Route 30 from Ill. Route 31 west to Ill. Route 47. The bad news is that it may be several more years before any improvements are made.

According to IDOT representatives we’ve talked to over the years, a costly stumbling block is the Blackberry Creek, which flows under Route 30, just west of the Orchard Road intersection.

In order to improve the intersection, the existing bridge, which spans the creek on Route 30, will need to be replaced with a wider structure. The need for a new bridge would significantly increase IDOT’s cost to improve the intersection.

Over the years we’ve seen local state lawmakers that represent Kendall County step up and successfully lobby IDOT to expedite numerous local highway construction projects. We’d like to see that happen again and current lawmakers do the same with the Route 30 and Orchard Road intersection.

Lawmakers should make sure that IDOT designates funds for the intersection improvements in the agency’s next multi-year improvement program.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

FORUM Taxpayers short-changed

To the Editor: Oswego taxpayers are being short-changed. Oswego Township is not a family business. It is a government body funded by taxpayers who expect it to be operated as efficiently as possible.

I have more questions.

Freedom to try something different

To the Editor: After No Child Left Behind, states were left with federal standards to improve and assess their unique school systems. Forty-five states, including Illinois, said they could do it better, and the U.S. Department of Education let them try. The administration gave state educational agencies the flexibility to request waivers for 10 provisions of the law and implement plans to improve outcomes for their students and teachers.

The federal government overreached when it came to our children’s education, and states were rightfully granted a way out. Why not when it comes to our health insurance?

I recently introduced the State Health Care Options Act to bring parity to the federal government’s position on state innovation in education and health insurance.

While the Affordable Care Act includes a waiver option, the administration made it functionally impossible for states to get one.

My bill would simplify and streamline the law’s waiver requirements and allow states to opt out of the ACA’s essential health benefits requirements and exchange provisions, while maintaining coverage for pre-existing health conditions and for young people under the age of 26.

The State Health Care Options Act is the first step out of the ACA, a law that is threatening Illinoisans with a possible 30 percent increase in health insurance premiums next year and a loss of already-limited options as the market becomes even more consolidated.

My bill would give states like Illinois the freedom to try something different, to foster a less regulated insurance market through more effective use of technology and

Do reforms grow economy?

To the Editor: This week our governor got an up close look at a mentor, presidential candidate governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin. Walker, the love child of the far right-wing American Legislative Economic Council and the billionaire Koch brothers, is touting his antilabor rhetoric beyond the boundaries of Wisconsin.

He caught the ear of governor Rauner, who is enthralled with the idea that no labor representation means a better economy. In fact, Walker says “Collective bargaining is the enemy of good government,” as quoted in his book “Unintimidated.” But does beating down public unions actually do anything positive for the taxpayer?

Walker said it would create jobs. Wisconsin lags its other neighboring states in job creation. He said it will save taxpayers money. But Walker had to fill holes in his recent budget by cutting education and transportation. The people who will save money in the state will be married couples who got a boost in their standard deduction.

Pennies on the dollar.

Meanwhile the state flounders. While people see a drop in taxes they see a boost in fees. If you are a sportsman

or someone who enjoys the outdoors, you pay more to get into state parks. What he giveth, he takes away.

So what does Mr. Walker bring to the table for our governor? The litany of an anti-union, pro business budget. Cuts he claims will help the average citizen through what he calls reforms.

Eliminate collective bargaining and institute reductions in meaningless areas like workman’s compensation and disability claims.

How does that impact the average citizen? How does that impact a business? Maybe cuts their costs down.

But do they pass that cost savings to the customer? It seems like our governor is positioning himself as a guy who one day will be buying businesses again and wants them more valuable.

While we cut wages from public sector employees, they will spend less in our communities. Exactly how do these reforms grow our economy, as our Republican elected officials say they will?

While Mr. Rauner is browbeating lowly state pensioners over pension costs, he conveniently allowed a newly hired state employee to essentially game the system.

Rauner’s hand-picked choice for state school superintendent is Tony Smith from California.

Mr. Smith is supposed to be paid under the Tier II system, put into place for all new state employees hired as of Jan. 1, 2011. This was supposed to put limits on pension payouts so to get some control on the $100 billion shortfall in the state pension plan.

Mr. Rauner ran on the platform of tackling the problem and then goes out and hires the top school administrator

and puts in a special stipend so this new employee would not be encumbered by the new rules and thus gets the more generous Tier I benefits. The benefit adds almost $1,000 a paycheck to Mr. Smith’s $225,000 yearly salary. It seems the rules only apply to the guys at the bottom.

Thank you for your support

To the Editor: Kendall County Association for Home and Community Education (HCE) would like to thank everyone who bought pies and ice cream at our booth at the four-day Kendall County Fair.

This annual fundraiser is used to help us support Extension and 4-H in Kendall County, and to also to carry out our purpose of continuing education and community outreach.

We also give a yearly $500 scholarship to a Kendall County resident. This year the scholarship was given to Zachary Ward from Newark, who will be attending Joliet Junior College to study culinary arts.

Thank you also to all our pie bakers and many of our members’ husbands who also helped in many ways.

Special thanks to Carol Hopkins, HCE 4-H and Youth Director, for opening and closing the booth each day, to Gil and Rita Rios for again loaning us their tent and ice cream freezer, and to Carl Scott for always helping us set up and take down the booth – we couldn’t do it without everyone’s cooperation and help.

Our next fundraiser is our 17th annual Victorian Tea, “Victorian Ladies Secret,” on Sunday, Oct. 18, at Cross Lutheran Church in Yorkville.

A big thank you again to all our pie bakers – we served over 125 pies during the fourday fair. Hope to see you at the fair next year.

Joan McEachern, President Kendall County Association for Home and Community Education Yorkville

Will not stop thinking

To the Editor: I thank Rose Thomas for last week’s Forum letter. Her statement that my letters can be “thought provoking” allows me to hope my objective in writing might be met. I also thank her for her clarification of the term “humanist.” If the genus is “humanist,” the species can be “secular” or otherwise.

Given the 500-word maximum of these letters, I used the term “humanist” only in partial error. Carla Taylor’s July 2 letter quoted from Berger’s book, “Invitation to Sociology: A Humanist Perspective” (1963). He does not qualify the “humanist” term with “secular” in his title. The term “humanist” can be defined as concern for human welfare, values and dignity, one that rightly should cover all of us. Rose states that this is actually parallel to the Christian values of human worth in all its stages, and she is correct.

But there is also the American Humanist Association, whose motto is “Good without a god” and which also advocates boycotting our pledge and other interesting freethinking ideas. Its mission statement is “progressive values for humanists, atheists and freethinkers.”

The AHA also makes no reference to their organization being for secular humanists only. So please forgive my omission of “secular” in my letter. I didn’t view it as necessary, but Rose’s point is well taken. However, I am then confused by her

reference to Robinson’s mention that “secularism has no meaning,” because if that’s true, then why the fuss over my omission of using the term “secular” if it has no meaning?

In the grand scheme of things, I don’t believe in the “secular” as if God created the secular and then the sacred, like a divided creation.

All is sacred, it is we who have desecrated the sacred and violated it with our own definitions, forming our own truth, instead of His truth.

After all, her point about the humanist statement, attributed to Protagoras, that “Man is the measure of all things...” speaks to “man” as the individual (not mankind) and that each individual is the standard of what is true to self. Seriously?

As a committed Christian, that’s a lie, and it has led so many to redefine God’s truth into what we want it to be, not what it ultimately is. Why do you think there is so much confusion about same-sex unions, abortion and euthanasia?

If we, as humans, have worth and dignity (which we do), shouldn’t we raise our voices when God’s truth is twisted to fit our own uses?

Alexis de Tocqueville accurately predicted this type of tyranny of the majority, a tyranny that he called “new” as it “breaks citizens’ free will, their capacity to think and act, reducing them to a ‘herd of timid and industrious animals of which the government is the shepherd.’”

He also said, “the majority’s moral power makes individuals internally ashamed to contradict it, which in effect silences them, and this silencing culminates in a cessation of thinking.” I will not stop thinking and raising my voice.

On May 3, the Yorkville Foxes travel softball program held its annual charity Round Robin event, which consisted of 32 teams from all around the Chicago area.

Each team played three games throughout the day spread across eight ball fields in Yorkville.

The cause for this year’s event was the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in memory of Matthew Koster, who was the son of Brad and Angela

Koster of Yorkville. Brad is an assistant coach on the 12U team in which his daughter, Lauren, plays.

The Kosters participate in the LLS “Light the Night Walk” each year and have raised over $45,000 in nine years for their team, “Remembering Matthew.”

The Yorkville Foxes Travel Softball program is proud to be able to donate the $2,400 net proceeds from the event to help in this cause.

Myers is in her last year in juniors • JUDO

Continued from page 12 “One reason I chose Iowa is they have a judo club on campus. It’s just down the street and I can walk there sometimes – but not in the winter,” Myers said. “That’s pretty much my identity. My college friends call me ‘sensei.’ I joke that I’ll be the bodyguard. They always ask me, ‘If someone is attacking you with a chain saw, what do you do?’ and I tell them that I don’t know that move. ... I was educated in self-defense, and I taught a small class with some college friends of mine.”

Myers spends her summer teaching youth classes in Naperville and she assists with the lower ranks in Iowa while she studies human anatomy and physiology. She plans to go into physical therapy and work with athletes.

“Teaching helps you be a better student yourself,” Myers said. “You really have to think about how you do a move and explain it to a 5-year-old.”

Now, she’ll return next week to Iowa City and continue training for her upcoming trip.

“When I go back to Iowa, I’ll be training extra hard at the judo club,” Myers said. “I use the elliptical and watch judo videos while I’m on there just to keep myself focused. Every little bit helps, I think.”

“I know she’ll train just as hard there [in Iowa] as she does here,” Gussman said. “She knows she’s got a real good training partner and I’m not concerned about the September to October training time. She’s already been to other international tournaments. It’s not her first rodeo.”

Myers entered her first judo competition when she was just 5 years old. Contestants are placed in groups by age and weight and accumulate competition points.

Although Myers has competed in the higher-level senior division, she will compete one more time in the junior division this fall before making a permanent jump with the seniors.

“Since I’m 19, after this year I’m done with juniors,” Myers explained.

“I’m No. 4 in my senior division. I’ll go and fight and get senior points, and then when you’re within the top four, you can go to certain tournaments. If you medal and earn points, you can go to other bigger tournaments. It’s a little confusing until you get the hang of it.”

Over the years, Myers has now traveled the world.

Competitions usually take her across the country annually, but in eighth grade she competed in Brazil, and as a high school sophomore traveled to Belgium.

“In the U.S., there are tournaments all over, but mostly in Dallas and Fort Lauderdale/Miami,” Myers said.

Over the last five years, three players from MATS have joined World Championship teams, including Suzie Rizek, who placed fifth in the 2010 USA Judo National Senior Championships, where she suffered a shoulder injury that required multiple surgeries.

She has recently returned to the judo club and spent time training with Myers in July.

Now, in less than three months, Myers will punch her passport in Abu Dhabi, traveling to the United Arab Emirates on Oct. 2327. She typically travels with a family member, but due to expenses, she plans to travel with her teammates.

“I won’t be by myself.

I’ve never been to the Middle East, and I don’t know what to expect,” Myers said. “I am so excited. Not that many people get to say they went to the Junior Worlds. Even if I don’t win anything, at least I can say I went on this wonderful trip and fight international players. They fight so much different than here. My first international competition I had no idea what to expect and I got clobbered.

Things are really different.

Our whole team works out together and I got to know some of them.”

Gussman is hopeful that Myers will have a strong showing at the Junior

World Championships, and he’ll be watching the tournament more than 17,000 miles away, streaming live from his computer.

“She’s got a shot. I really hope that she wins two or three matches, and if she does, she’s going to be on the board and she’ll be a force to contend with when she gets back,” Gussman said. “I’m hopeful. I could go with, but I’m saving for the first one to make the Olympics.”

Myers has goals for her judo career – one that extends to the Olympics – and she looks forward to having the opportunity to be selected.

“I think the top 25 players in each weight division are considered for the Olympics. I’ve been fighting seniors since I was 15 or 16, but it’ll be a new experience to be chosen,” Myers said.

SPORTS Strong showing for Fury this season

Thursday, August 6, 2015

Kendall County Record • Page 12

Softball squad goes 23-16 en route to second-place finish

By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com The Yorkville Fury’s 16U softball team’s season came to an end on July 27, when the Naperville Diamonds defeated them for a second time in the double elimination Southwest Suburban Softball Tournament, 6-4, in Oswego.

The Fury, whose season started on June 1, finished the 16-team tournament with their best-ever showing of second place and capped the season with a record of 23-16.

“It was great. We are like a huge family – we do everything together,” said head coach Casey Cantwell. “The majority of this team has been together since they were 8, 9 years old. Aubrey [Fisher], Mackenzie [Nance] and Taylor [Neville] have been together since the beginning.”

The 12-girl team, formerly known as the Yorkville Sparks, is mostly compiled of players from Yorkville. Just one, Sammi Stamper, is from Plano and goes to Plano High School. Nance, Fisher, Neville, Michelle Clayton, Haley Hilt, Amanda Farwell, Dakotah Kinsella, Aurora Reifsteck, Megan Corneils, Sam Blissit and Lauren Wood are from Yorkville.

All of them except Fisher, who goes to Rosary, attend Yorkville High School.

Tragically in the off-season, which started in January, one of the Fury’s players, Ally Bradford, died with her friend, Seth Egger, in a car crash in mid-March.

Bradford was a three-sport athlete at Aurora Central Catholic.

“Losing [Bradford] definitely affected the girls,” Cantwell said.

“It put a big hole in the team, but they found a way to keep going.”

Once the season started, the Fury had a nice run, especially in tournament play. They finished second at West Chicago’s Swinging Cats Tournament, third at Elburn’s Sweet 16 Tournament, fourth at the Wisconsin Dells Summer Classic and sixth

at Wheaton’s Red White and Blue Tournament.

In the first playoff loss against Naperville, the Fury lost, 13-8, on July 25. In the second game of the double elimination tournament, Yorkville went up 4-1 before the Diamonds rallied back and won.

In the first inning of the second game, Reifsteck hit an RBI single and Stamper recorded an RBI triple. In the third, Nance hit a bunt single and Wood sent her home with an RBI single. Neville also posted a RBI triple.

Both Wood and Reifsteck shared the pitching duties against the Diamonds. “[The Diamonds] are an older team and we played well, but the turning point was after the fifth inning, when they started hitting our pitchers,” Cantwell said.

“Our pitchers did well but the defense had a few errors.”

Cantwell was impressed with the way the Fury grew and matured from January to July.

“It was great to be able to watch how much they’ve improved and what they’ve accomplished,” Cantwell said. “They have continued to amaze me.”

The Fury will take the next few weeks off and will determine soon what they are doing next. There is a possibility they will play in the fall, but nothing has been decided just yet.

Yorkville alum ready to fight Myers bound for Judo World Junior Championships in October

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com

Kristin Sharp - ksharp@shawmedia.com

Melissa Myers throws an opponent during a training session at the Martial Arts Training Service in Naperville. The Yorkville alum will compete with the U.S. women’s judo team Oct. 23-27 in the United Arab Emirates.

Melissa Myers’ earliest memories at Martial Arts Training Service were watching her older brothers as a preschooler. Now, 15 years later, the Iowa sophomore and Yorkville alum is preparing for the Judo World Junior Championships, which will take her to Abu Dhabi in October.

Myers, 19, will compete with the U.S. women’s judo team after finishing second at the U.S. National Judo Championships, which took place in Dallas in midApril. She will compete in the junior level with others age 19 and younger after competing at the senior level in Dallas.

“My oldest brother, Paul, started in judo and then my other brother started, so my mom

thought it was just easier to have all four at the same place so my sister and I joined,” Myers said.

“I wanted to be like my brothers.”

Although Scott and Melissa’s twin sister, Wendy, eventually stopped training, Paul and Melissa continued at the dojo under the direction of senseis John Gussman and his wife, Maureen Browne.

Melissa tried other sports – basketball, T-ball and soccer – but she fell in love with judo. Gussman noticed Melissa’s passion for judo years ago, but could not have predicted just how far she would go in the sport.

“She’s making the transition to the adults and doing very well, and that’s one of the biggest jumps. I tell people who don’t understand judo but understand football that the jump from the ju-

niors in judo to the seniors is like a high school football player going into the NFL,” Gussman said.

“Kids don’t have the same adult strength, so their technique has to be a lot better to do well and she’s got good technique. When she’s on her game, she’s really hard to throw. She’s mean. She doesn’t come off as mean, but she’s actually meaner than her brothers.”

After spending the 2014-15 school year training at a club on the Iowa campus, Myers returned to MATS in Naperville this summer. In late July, she was preparing to test for her second-degree black belt – something her college friends enjoy having around campus. (Myers was successfully promoted to Nidan in judo on July 23.)

WEATHER WORRIES

Kendall County’s wet spring means a poor growing season

Photo provided

This photo from a drone of a Kendall County field shows damage that was done from excessive rains this spring. The National Weather Service says about seven inches of rain fell in Yorkville in June.

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com Kurt Schobert has one word to describe this year’s growing season: “wet.” Schobert, a seed salesman who helps his father and uncle farm south of Yorkville, says there was just too much rain this spring and summer.

“The damage is definitely done and the yield is not going to be there,” he said. “We don’t know until it’s in the bin but it’s definitely going to be down.”

Schobert and other area farmers are reporting that the extremely wet spring and summer have contributed to what will be a less than ideal crop season for corn and soy bean growers.

About seven inches of rain fell in Yorkville in June, according to the National Weather Service, making it the fourth wettest June on record here.

Statewide, the agency reported that Illinois’s average rainfall of 9.53 inches in June was the most on record.

Schobert said his crops have fared pretty well this year but crops on farms in the southern and eastern portion of Kendall County have been hit hard.

“There are parts of the county that are in really bad shape,” Schobert said. “The south end of county and the southeast

end of the county is the worst.”

Bob Dhuse, who farms south of Yorkville, explains that the soil in those areas is generally a poorer quality than in the northern parts of the county and the land doesn’t drain as well.

“Most of my stuff looks pretty good. Most of my fields are pretty well drained and we were lucky we didn’t get real heavy rain,” Dhuse said.

Normally, he said farmers are praying for rain in July.

In fact, the southern portion of the county and northern Grundy County were also hit with more rain.

“It washed a lot of soil away, it took cornstalks and washed them away everywhere – any low spot, it drowned it out,” Dhuse said. “It depends on if you have good drainage and how bad you got hit with the rain and I was pretty lucky.”

Dan Reedy, executive director of the Kendall County Farm Bureau, said that you can sometimes see these place from the road because the crop is low or the ground is completely bare if the damage is bad enough.

“The crop’s gone and it won’t come back,” Reedy said.

“In some fields there could be as much as 10 to 15 percent loss, but it’s hard to say on a total basis. What’s out there is out there.”

Eric Miller - emiller@shawmedia.com

Matt Kellogg from Kellogg Farms on Schlapp Road near Yorkville holds ears of damaged corn picked from the same row on his farm, about 30 feet apart.

When a field is flooded for a long time, the roots are deprived of oxygen, Schobert adds, and that can stunt the growth of corn or beans or kill the crop all together.

“All of spring was wet and it just kept coming. It’s been kind of relentless,” Schobert said.

“In the last two weeks it’s finally dried out.”

He also pointed out that flooding can lead to a lack of nitrogen in the soil, a vital chemical in fertilizer. Nitrogen will sometimes seep further below the surface where roots can’t

reach it. Also, when fields get flooded Schobert said it prevents farmers from adding nitrogen during the middle of the season.

Reedy said another concern in the coming months could be dry and windy weather. If that happens, he said, the corn crop could blow down.

“If you were to go out and look at a corn field you would notice that the roots aren’t very deep simply because they didn’t have to go very deep in the soil to get the moisture,” he said. “The cornstalk itself

doesn’t have a real good foundation because the roots do not go deep in the soil to hold the corn up. It’s just like a foundation on a building, the deeper the roots have to go down to get that water that’s your basis for holding it down.”

Dhuse says the soil tends to dry out quickly and last week he noticed cracks in his soil.

“It dries out quick you get these days like this – warm days and these plants suck up a lot of moisture and push it into the atmosphere,” he said.

“You take a plant and hold it in your hand and you can watch it wilt.”

But what does one washedout growing season mean to grocery prices? Schobert says despite the bad crop season he doesn’t think a bad growing season will mean an overnight spike in grocery prices.

Additionally, the last few great growing seasons have lowered corn prices.

“It will have a trickle-down effect, but you’re not going to directly feel it,” he said. “Corn prices are very low right now because there is so much supply out there from previous years. Just because it’s a bad year for farmers this year – the prices are not really reflective now.”

“On top of low prices it’s a double whammy,” Schobert said.

Graveside services will be at a later date at Millington-Newark Cemetery in Millington, Illinois for Violet “Vi” B. Courtright, age 94, of St. Cloud, Minnesota, who passed away on Sunday, July 26, 2015, at St. Benedict’s Senior Community in St. Cloud.

Violet Beatrice Courtright (“Vi”) was born June 29, 1921 in rural Proper, Minnesota of Fillmore County, to Magnus and Caroline Krogh. She spent her childhood in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Ice Skating was a favorite activity in her youth which carried over into a love of watching professional ice skating on television in later years. Her father once flooded the front yard at their home so that Vi had a fine place to skate.

Vi graduated from high school in St. Cloud, and eventually got her first “real” job in a photography studio there.

In 1942, she met Ned Courtright on a visit with an aunt to Illinois. As those were war years, Ned went off to the U.S. Army until 1945. At the end of the war, Vi and Ned got back together and were married December 29, 1946 in St. Cloud. They made their home in Millbrook, Illinois for 42 years.

Vi worked in the grocery store they owned for a few years with a partner. Later, Vi worked in a garden center in Millbrook. She enjoyed working with flowers and plants and visiting with the locals. Later she became the postmaster of Millbrook. She found it challenging and took her job very seriously learning the regulations and helping her customers. Later she wrote “I had the honor of being the Postmaster at Millbrook Post Office from Oct ‘71 til Dec ‘85.”

All her life, Vi loved to “hop in the car” with Ned and go; for short rides or long trips, you name it, Vi was known for being ready to go! After Ned passed away, Vi returned to St. Cloud, and lived there until her passing on July 26, 2015.

She is survived by her sister, Doris Weis; nephews, David (Mary Kaye) Weis, Dale (Mary Kay) Weis and Douglas (Merri) Weis; and niece, Karen (Bruce Basch) Weis; as well as her late husband; Ned’s sister, Donna Norem; nieces, Sharon Skwerski, Helen (Bob) Johnson, Vicki Johnson, and Julie Lightfoot; and nephews, Wyn (Joan) Courtright and Rob (Diana) Norem; and many grand nieces and nephews.

Memorials may be made to Millbrook United Methodist Church, 8360 Co Hwy 1, Millbrook, Illinois. 60536

BARBARA J. LAVOY Born: June 1, 1935 Died: July 29, 2015

Barbara June (Olson) LaVoy went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on a beautiful sunny day, July 29, 2015. She left

the earth while prayers were being said over her. She went from death to everlasting life.

She was born June 1, 1935, on Alice Harkness Farm on Ament Road, in Yorkville, IL, Kendall Township. She was the middle child of five. Her parents were Alfred and Hannah (Helgeson) Olson. She went to Lisbon Grade School, in Lisbon, IL, and graduated from Yorkville High School in 1953. After graduation she came to Aurora and worked at Standard Coil, until her near death accident in 1954 which took her over a year to recover. In 1955 she met the love of her life, Jimmy LaVoy, and later married him on her in-laws wedding anniversary February 4, 1956, in Yorkville at Immanuel Lutheran Church. So from the start her and her mother-in-law Nell Jane LaVoy had something in common; their wedding dates.

Through the years she worked at Thor-Power Tool Company in Aurora, and Campana Corporation in Batavia. But, the most wonderful miracle came in the summer of 1956, her one and only child Judy Kay (LaVoy) Albright was born. So they made their home in the Pidgin Hill area of Aurora. But tragedy struck in July of 1958 when her beloved husband was killed in an auto accident. The event would change her life forever! So with the help of her parents; motherin-law; and very close friends, Jim and Joan Molitor would help over many years to raise Judy the best she could. In doing so she became the lovely woman she is today.

She is survived by her daughter, Judy (Robert) Albright; 2 grandsons, Lucas (Barb) Albright and Benjamin Albright; 3 great-grandchildren, Nicholas, Alexander and Liberty Albright; 1 brother, Kenneth (Barb) Olson; 2 brotherin-laws, Ned Kneller, Jr. and William (Nancy) Hayden; her dear friend, Robert Diebold; and many cousins, nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Alfred and Hannah (Helgeson) Olson; stepfather, Roy Leifheit; stepmother, Thyra Olson; husband, Jimmy LaVoy; brother, Sheldon Olson; and 2 sisters, Virginia Walker and Linda Kneller.

Visitation will be held Sunday, August 2, 2015, from 3:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at THE DALEIDEN MORTUARY, 220 N. Lake Street, Aurora, IL. 60506, (630) 6315500.

She graduated from Plano High School in 1941. She married Robert “Bob” Martner, originally of Yorkville, on June 15, 1946, at the home of her parents. They were married for 69 years.

She also was wardrobe master for many years for the middle school and high school bands in Plano.

Over the years, she hosted numerous children who enjoyed her backyard pool, winter ice skating rink, and summer volleyball court.

Myrleen enjoyed tending her flowers, sewing, doing crafts, reading, and watching her bird feeders. The hummingbirds were her favorites. She also enjoyed the years she traveled and lived in the family motor home, eventually settling in Surprise, Arizona, to live the snowbird lifestyle. Her home and family defined her.

Time to consider new shrubs, trees to plant for fall Now is a good time to plan for planting your new trees and shrubs this fall, since it is one of the best times for planting. Especially, with so many ash trees being impacted by emerald ash borer, this fall could be a good time to plant replacement trees.

Replacing trees will be one of the topics at an upcoming EAB workshop at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 26, at the Yorkville Public Library.

Identification, damage, feasibility of treatment and what trees to use as replacements all will be discussed. There will be a focus on tree diversity and replacement trees, including native species such as oaks. EAB has caused extensive damage and death to thousands of ash trees in our area.

Farm Day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Sunday, Aug. 23. It is a great outing for the family with animals, games, wagon rides, antique equipment – and it is free. There also is food available at the Country Kitchen.

August also is a month of numerous national observations, including National Honey Bee Day on Aug. 22, as declared by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It is intended to recognize the importance of honeybees to pollination for numerous plants, including food crops.

With recent concerns over the reduction of honeybees, individuals are encouraged to use practices that protect and enhance their populations. You can be a part of Honey Bee Day by planting native plants that can provide ideal

VIEWS John Church The program is co-sponsored The Conservation Foundation and University of Illinois Extension. Speakers will include staff from TCF, UIE, the Illinois Department of Agriculture and the Kendall County Soil and Water Conservation District.

For information about the program content, call 630-5530687, ext. 204, or email jchurch@ theconservationfoundation.org.

For registration information, call the library at 630-553-4354. There is no charge to attend.

Don’t forget the upcoming fun, free day at the Dickson-Murst

habitats and food sources for the bees and other pollinators.

Planting native species can also help with the battle against mosquitoes and West Nile virus, according to recent research by entomologists at the University of Illinois. Some invasive, non-native plants enhanced the mosquito’s abundance and some native plants had the opposite effect. When added to standing water, the leaves of two non-native, invasive plants, Amur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii) and autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata), yielded higher numbers of adult mosquitoes than other leaf species did, the researchers reported.

Two native plants, elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) and serviceberry (Amelanchier lae-

vis), had different effects on the mosquitoes.

Elderberry attracted mosquitoes looking for a place to lay their eggs, and the larval survival rates were low. The mosquitoes deposited the lowest number of eggs in water infused with serviceberry leaves, but the survival of the larvae was 62 percent. For information on this research, visit news.illinois.edu/ news/15/0701leaves_skeeters_brianallan.html.

Learn about harvest history at Dickson-Murst Day at the Farm SHAW MEDIA Equipment is assembling for the Dickson-Murst Day at the Farm on Sunday, Aug. 23.

The harvest festival features a steam-powered 1909 grain separator demonstration, two vintage corn shellers, displays of antique farm equipment and other

farm-oriented activities. Activities at this free event begin at 10 a.m. and continue until 4 p.m.

Musicians from the Northern Illinois Bluegrass Association will be a part of the farm atmosphere, as they jam in the shade of the giant trees, or echo in the acoustics of the old buildings. There also will be a stage for open mike per-

formances in the century-old barn.

Activities for children include pedal tractor pulls, friendly animals to pet and pony rides for $3.

Stop and enjoy a grilled sandwich at the new Partners’ Country Kitchen. Proceeds from the kitchen and donations provide funds for the maintenance of the buildings on the farm. The Con-

servation Foundation, owner of the property and co-host of the event, will be on hand with suggestions for water conservation and explaining their programs for helping our communities preserve open spaces. The event will take place, rain or shine. Admission and parking are free.

Dickson-Murst Farm is at 2550

Dickson Road on the west side of Montgomery. It is one mile east of Route 47, two miles west of Orchard Road, between Route 30 and Galena Road.

SUNDAY at SANDWICH Antiques Show Garden Items A Monthly Market of Quality Antiques, Collectibles, &Crafts & Garden Held at the Historic Sandwich Fair Grounds

Richard Hentschel for the homeowner. Any fungicide treatments need to start before the disease is present in the lawn and then be repeated. For example, a golf course may treat several times a month while monitoring the weather closely.

There are some lawn care management strategies that can help, so all is not lost.

Reducing stress by proper mowing, using lower rates of nitrogen in the fertilizer applications, managing the thatch layer and timing of any watering are a few that help. Better ways to mow include mowing the grass higher which promotes deeper roots. Mowing the lawn short introduces stress to the grass plant (and the opportunity for weed seed germination). Lower rates of nitrogen will slow growth, exposing fewer new tender cells to fungal invasion. Some thatch is a good thing. Keeping the thatch layer to one half inch or less is the goal. While we have not had to really water our lawns so far this season, when you do, water deeply to again encourage deep rooting of the grass plants.

Sodded lawns have the potential of more disease outbreaks than a lawn that was

started from seed. Unless the soil was properly prepared, a sod to soil interface can occur, again stressing the grass plant. Sod to soil interface can be overcome by core aeration twice a year for several years. This also will aid in thatch management.

There are other lawn diseases that can impact our lawns. Two the homeowner can identify are Rust and Powdery mildew. Their names imply how they look.

The rust we see is the spores in structures on the leaf blade waiting to be blown around. Powdery mildew can appear on a wide number of plants including our lawns.

The white fine powdery substance can be rubbed off, but the disease remains embedded in the grass leaf blade.

Our weather up until these past few days has remained primed for lawn diseases. Homeowners who have taken great care of their lawns may actually see more turf diseases than the neighborhood courtyard or cul-de-sac where only mowing gets done.

The ever popular textbook disease triangle image has been ringing loud and clear; if you have a pathogen present with a susceptible host and the right environmental conditions, then more often than not the disease will develop.

One of those diseases is called Helminthosporium.

Depending on the time of year, this disease has different common names. Starting out in the spring, we call it “leafspot,” where the individual grass blades develop distinct spots. Later in the summer the disease has a common name of “melting out” as the fungal disease moves into the grass plant crown and will kill entire leaves. It appears that the grass is just “melting away.”

Another stage is one of crown and root rot. Once you are there, there is no turning back, the grass plant is dead.

This can appear patchy in the lawn or those smaller patches can coalesce and leave you with much larger patches to deal with.

Lawn disease management is quite a challenge

Cydney Olah of Oswego and James Martin of Newark were named the 2015 4-H Fair Queen and King at the Kendall County Fair. An amazing group of young people participated in this year’s contest, including Olah and Martin; runners-up Ally Rott and Ethan Heidrich; and Molly Bernard, Thor Hester and Eli Williamson. The scholarship-based program is sponsored by the Kendall County 4-H Foundation.

“4-H has helped me gain not only knowledge, but leadership skills,” says Martin. “I have gained self-confidence as a result of the opportunities to serve in leadership roles.”

In addition, 4-H members volunteer for their communities through service projects and activities throughout the year. At the fair, many community members give back through sharing time and expertise at the 4-H events.

“We at University of Illinois Extension thank all our superintendents, judges and other volunteers for giving our youth such an important experience,” said Eisnaugle. “Thank you also to our 4-H members and families. You all helped make this year’s 4-H Show a great success.”

The 2015 Kendall County Fair 4-H Show results include trophy winners and state fair delegates.

They are as follows (listed by name, city of residence, and 4-H club):

Learning new things. Making good friends. Building skills.

Understanding responsibility.

Caring for other living things.

Working hard. Feeling a sense of accomplishment.

These are just a few of the things local youth said that they attribute to their 4-H Youth Development experience during this summer’s county fair, which is the culmination of the whole 4-H year.

“Whether it’s in citizenship or sheep, our 4-H members work for months in their project areas to learn new things and develop skills, which they then demonstrate through 4-H exhibits at the annual Kendall County Fair,” said Kim Eisnaugle, 4-H Youth Development Program coordinator. “The 4-H livestock and animal shows and general project conference judging provide 4-H youth with valuable experience and feedback to continue growing and learning into the next year.”

With 100-plus project areas, 4-H youth can explore arts, sciences, citizenship and leadership, engineering and technology, personal development, and more.

“4-H is a way to learn new things by doing hands-on activities and learning lifelong skills,” said Oswego resident Cydney Olah, 17, who was named the 2015 4-H Fair Queen on Friday evening.

A nine-year member of Outbacker Kids 4-H Club, Olah has excelled in many project areas, including citizenship, leadership, floriculture, photography, poultry, and sewing and textiles.

Her royal counterpart, 4-H Fair King James Martin, 15, of Newark, also has experience in several project areas, including foods and nutrition, horticulture, visual arts, health and fitness, and leadership. He credits 4-H with helping him explore important educational and social experiences.

peachy This ice cream treat is simple and sweet

H

ere’s a takeoff on Peach Melba, the ice cream dessert that Auguste Escoffier, chef at the Savoy Hotel in London, created for Australian soprano Dame Nellie Melba. Inspired by a scene in the opera “Lohengrin,” where the prince arrives in a boat pulled by a swan, Escoffier’s dessert was vanilla ice cream and peaches served with an ice swan and decorated with spun sugar. This sundae, without the swan or spun sugar, is an easy version of the original. For simple variations, nectarines or apricots can be used instead of peaches and other flavors of ice cream can replace vanilla.

The sundaes will still taste wonderful.

Peach Melba Sundaes ½ cup raspberry jam 2 medium peaches, cut into small pieces (about 2 cups) 2 cups vanilla ice cream In a bowl, whisk jam until smooth. Divide peaches among 4 serving bowls. Top with ice cream and jam. Serves 4.
