Body cameras on local police?

Montgomery may be first in Kendall to equip officers

By JOHN ETHEREDGE jetheredge@shawmedia.com Officers from at least one Kendall County law enforcement agency will be wearing body cameras beginning next year.

Montgomery Police Chief Daniel Meyers announced this past week he expects village patrol officers and sergeants will be equipped with body cameras by mid-to-late 2016.

Meanwhile, Kendall County Sheriff Dwight Baird and other county police chiefs are considering equipping their officers with the small cameras, which capture video of officers’ on-duty interactions with the public.

But Baird and the other chiefs also expressed concerns about the cost to purchase the cameras and then maintain the hours of video they will produce.

Gov. Bruce Rauner signed legislation last month creating statewide standards for the use of body cameras by police. The legislation does not require police departments to use the cameras.

To help police departments pay for equipping their officers with cameras, the legislation imposes a $5 fee on traffic tickets issued by police statewide.

Noting that police across the country have been under increased scrutiny over the past 12 to 18 months, Meyers said he believes the video cameras will ultimately serve to protect his officers against complaints from the public.

He added the majority of village officers have been supportive of the idea of using cameras.

“There has been a lot of discussion about body-worn cameras among our officers over the last two years and they know that someday we will be wearing them and they support that,” Meyers said.

Meyers noted village police have had cameras in their squad cars for the past 15 years.

“We’ve used those videos [from the squad car cameras] in court and it has helped,” he said.

Meyers said how the de-

Montgomery Police Officer Daniel Puskaric displays a body camera that he and other village police offipartment will pay for the cers will begin wearing sometime in mid-to-late 2016, according to Village Police Chief Daniel Meyers. cameras and associated software to maintain the videos will be the subject of discussions over the next several months as work proceeds on his department’s annual budget. The police department’s budget is included in the village’s annual budget, which is adopted by the village board every April. The village’s next fiscal year will begin May 1.

Meyers said the funds his department will receive from the $5 traffic ticket surcharge will eventually cover the full cost for the cameras.

“The purchase of the cameras is the small part of this,” Meyers explained, adding, “The software and the storage [of the videos] is where it will get costly.”

“We have between five and six officers on patrol for each shift, so I’ll probably purchase eight or ten [cameras]. The officers will sign them out for each shift, similar to signing out a radio and/ or a mic for a digital camera that is in their squad car.”

Baird said he will investigate bringing the cameras to the sheriff’s department but isn’t ready to move forward with them just yet.

“That’s something we’re going to look into,” Baird said, adding that he was part of an effort with Oswego Police Capt. Jim Jensen to equip an Oswego squad car with a camera in 1993 – a first for Kendall County.

“I have mixed reviews on the cameras. I think that they can offer some level of recording and documentation of what happened on a particular case, but they don’t see everything,” he said.

For instance, he noted that peripheral vision is less than that of a human.

Another problem, he said is

that people will request the footage under the Freedom of Information Act and edit the videos out of context.

“Oftentimes people will try to tell the story with a mere Polaroid snapshot of what happened,” Baird said.

Another concern is cost.

Baird added that he is not budgeting for the cameras this year without knowing how much state funding the county will be getting.

He said the sheriff’s office researched grants for getting cameras as well but is not ready to move forward on the cameras.

“I haven’t thought about cost but I think the state of Illinois needs to get their financial woes figured out before they start passing down unfunded mandates, which I’m glad to see this is not mandatory,” Baird said. “I’m not opposed to them – just who is going to pay for it. I think more research needs to be done.”

As far as the cameras catching police misconduct, Baird says that’s another issue.

“I think if police executives were given more latitude on holding their officers and deputies accountable that some of this police misconduct could be avoided,” Baird said. “You allow us to clean up our profession and that will really help a lot of this, but not all of it.”

Yorkville Police Chief Rich Hart says he thinks the cameras are a good idea and believes the police department will adopt them one day. However, he also has concerns about paying for the devices, which could run as much as $100,000 to equip officers.

There are 30 full-time

sworn officers and five parttime officers on the Yorkville Police Department, and of those, about 21 are patrol officers. Hart said he would like to equip most of the officers with cameras, including patrol officers, patrol sergeants and detectives.

“I’d say they are a good idea,” Hart said. Many people are calling for police to carry these cameras to catch cases of police abuse, Hart mentioned, but those cases don’t happen that often.

Hart said the cameras could actually make his department’s job easier.

“It’s going to be more evidence for us against people in criminal cases. And that’s what the public doesn’t understand about police video cases is that when we go to domestic situations where people are intoxicated and they act horribly,” Hart said.

“I think a lot of people will be in for a shock once we get these video cameras because they’re thinking it’s to keep down police brutality issues and it’s going to be quite different.”

Hart and Baird also say they have concerns about the limitations of the cameras.

“They don’t get it all and there is an example of a shooting in Chicago where the police looked like they were shooting an unarmed man when he actually had a gun behind his back,” Hart said.

Another video, Hart said, taken from a different angle, revealed the gun.

Hart said that people might be shocked if a video of them appears in court.

“I can tell you from personal experiences that we’ll deal with some of these domestic situations or neigh-

borhood disputes and people are out of control,” Hart said.

“And then when it comes time for court two or three months later they’re in a suit, clean cut and a pillar of their community.”

Oswego Police Chief Jeff Burgner described village police as being in “research mode” on the use of the cameras.

“I have no problem with cameras,” Burgner said. “I would like to have the ability to do that [videotaping].”

He added that he has not polled the department’s 49 officers on the use of the cameras, but believes they would also be supportive.

“I have heard no negative pushback from our officers,” he said.

Burgner said the department is researching the overall use of the cameras and their potential impact on the district’s finances and operation.

“I think we are all pretty much looking at them,” Plano Police Chief Steve Eaves said, referring to his department and others in the area.

Plano has not tested the devices yet and the biggest question for the department may be the cost, Eaves said.

But he said the department has had good experience with cameras in squad cars and believes that adding the body cameras would help, rather than hinder, law enforcement.

“I think they would definitely be an asset,” he said.

“A lot of people might think it would go against the officer, but it is also to his or her protection.”

Oswego police ID suspect in shooting incident KENDALL COUNTY RECORD Oswego police have identified the suspect in an early Saturday morning shooting in the village as Taylor J. Cano, 24, of the 0-100 block of Ashlawn Avenue.

Police said Cano recently moved to the Ashlawn Avenue residence, which is located in the Cedar Glen subdivision one block east of Ill. Route 25.

Cano, who was shot by two police officers, is being treated for his injuries while under police custody at an area hospital.

The Kendall County state’s attorney is expected to file charges against Cano later this week. In addition, the Illinois State Police are investigating the incident.

According to police, Cano called police dispatch shortly after midnight Saturday

“indicating that a massacre was going to occur and he was going to shoot himself in the street.” Additional calls between police dispatchers and Cano were interrupted several times, police said.

When dispatchers managed to re-establish contact with Cano, he told them that he had a rifle and would shoot anyone who came to help him, police said.

When police arrived at Ca-

no’s Ashlawn Avenue home shortly after 12:18 a.m., police said he raised a rifle towards the officers.

When the officers commanded him to drop his rifle, police said Cano did not comply and two officers fired their weapons, striking him in the torso.

Police Chief Jeff Burgner said Monday the incident marked the first time in a decade that village police of-

ficers had discharged their firearms at a suspect.

In a statement, police said they wish to thank the Kendall and Kane County sheriff’s offices and the Montgomery, Yorkville and Aurora police departments for their assistance in responding to the incident.

Police asked anyone with information concerning the incident to call Illinois State Police at 815-726-6377.

Yorkville Christian focuses on growth in year 2 More details

By DAN WAITT dwaitt@shawmedia.com For several students at Yorkville Christian High School, when the classroom day ends, the work day begins.

A number of students at the private school on the city’s south side have internships with area companies to offer hands-on insight into careers in areas such as graphic arts, agriculture auto mechanics and sports training.

“The immediate returns are outstanding for our students,” said Aaron Sovern, administrator of the high school. “They might find out what they want – and don’t want – to do.”

Yorkville Christian is now in its second year at 1213 S. Bridge St. The school serves 20 students in grades 9-12; up from 13 enrolled a year ago.

During the daily performance hour, students are paired with corporate mentors in a number of work areas.

Partner companies include Nanette’s Boutique, Logo Shirt Factory, White Tail Ridge Golf

Course, Inland Real Estate, Carpe Diem Sports Enhancement, Yorkville Police Department, Merlin auto repair shop, Dr. Jeff Schutt chiropractic and two area equine centers.

The outreach program is part of the school’s vision to “energize, educate and impact the world,” Sovern said.

The school is not affiliated with any specific denomination and students come from up to 18 different church backgrounds, but the core focus is clear, he said.

“We start each day with Bible class. This year we are studying the life of Christ.”

Bible class meets four days a week and once a week the students have chapel.

The school continues to work toward its goal of building on a

Sovern says the school’s size helps it to offer more personalized attention. “As small as we are, we try to set ourselves apart,” he said.

Instead of a classroom ratio of 30 to 1; Yorkville Christian offers more like 3 to 1.

“Every student who comes here has a different story,” Sovern said. “We try to help them find

what God’s purpose is for them.”

The school is going through the process of gaining Illinois State Board of Education certification.

The staff includes seven full-time and two part-time teachers.

“When you start up a school, there is every little detail that you have to adhere to,” Sovern said.

“This was definitely a calling,” says Sovern, a former teacher in the Indian Prairie School District. “God knocked down any of the obstacles that were there. God continues to provide. It really is amazing.”

Sovern said one of the aims of the school is to get students “thinking outside themselves.”

Extracurricular sports include cheerleading and boys basketball.

The school is only the second private school in the state to offer an FFA chapter.

He said one of the main challenges is getting the word out about the school. “We’re letting people know who we are and getting our name out there,” he said.

“As educators, we are keeping the students engaged and giving them opportunities to lead.”

Library sets patron appreciation month KENDALL COUNTY RECORD The Yorkville Public Library is continuing with its yearlong 100th birthday celebration in the month of September with “Patron Appreciation Month.”

Throughout the course of the month, the library will host a number of activities, including a spring bulb giveaway, a drawing for a Kindle e-reader, National Library Card SignUp Month, and Food for Fines – in addition to all of its regular monthly programs.

During last year’s Food for Fines program, the li-

brary staff collected over 480 food items to donate to the Kendall County Food Pantry.

They are bringing back this popular program for the entire month of September where patrons can bring in bagged, boxed or canned food items (no perishables) to be accepted in lieu of library fines.

The library will not accept any expired or damaged items. One food item equals fines forgiven for one overdue library item.

This only applies to overdue materials, not damaged or lost materials.

This is a great way to

clear up your account and to help out the community as well.

September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month and anyone registering for a new library card will receive one free DVD rental good for one week.

The library will also be holding a drawing of a simple Kindle e-reader to be awarded at the end of the month. Be sure to look for a special gift of spring bulbs to be handed out to patrons toward the end of September.

The library is at 902 Game Farm Road.

Fred and Claire Willis and their REO Speed Wagon at their new tin shop in the Parke Building – now American Male & Company – at Main and Jackson streets in downtown Oswego in 1914.

From the Sept. 30, 1914, Kendall County Record: “Willis Bros. have moved their tin shop from the Helle building to the J.A. Shoger stone building [American Male & Company] where they will continue their business.” The tin shop was once one of many small manufacturing businesses in the county.

OUR VIEW

Still no answer on Metra RTA question Would Kendall County have to join the Regional Transportation Authority in order to have Metra commuter rail service extended into the county?

For nearly 20 years we’ve attempted to get a definitive answer to that question, but continue to come up short in our efforts.

Over the years, supporters of the local Metra effort have suggested joining the RTA might not be a requirement, while opponents – wary of the imposition of the RTA gas tax here – have considered it a fait accompli.

Our reporter, Matt Schury, tried again last week during a press conference at Oswego Village Hall. Answering questions posed by Schury and other area media were two of Metra’s current top dogs, Martin Oberman, chairman of Metra’s Board of Directors, and Don Orseno, the agency’s executive director.

Oberman expressed uncertainty when asked if Kendall County would have to join the RTA. He said, “That is one possibility; there are legal ways to structure extending service out of the RTA geography – it’s never happened.”

Referring to Kendall County, Oberman added, “They wouldn’t have to join the RTA, but the real question is what’s the cost?”

Ah, the cost. Everyone interested in extending Metra service to Kendall County agrees it will cost millions and millions of dollars to construct stations and upgrade the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway mainline tracks to accommodate commuter trains.

Further complicating those efforts, Oberman acknowledged, is Metra’s continuing budget deficit. He noted the agency currently needs to make $11 billion in capital improvements to its existing equipment and infrastructure.

Oswego Village President Gail Johnson should be commended for organizing last week’s meeting of county mayors and Metra officials.

It is important that county and local municipal officials are fully aware of all the issues that would first need to be resolved in order to extend Metra service here. But given the current budget realities facing Metra, Kendall County and county municipalities and the continuing lack of clarity on the RTA issue, the prospect of Metra commuter trains rolling down the tracks from Aurora to Montgomery, Oswego and other county municipalities seems as remote to us now as it did nearly 20 years ago when the idea was first raised in a long-range Metra planning study.

Perhaps Oberman said it best when asked if county residents anxious for Metra service should have their hopes raised by last week’s meeting.

“I don’t think people’s expectations should be falsely raised or falsely closed. It’s an ongoing process. I think everybody believes mass transit is a good thing, but is it practical in these economic times to say this is going to be happening in the foreseeable future?

We don’t know the answer to that,” he said.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

When everything needed was ‘Made in Kendall County’ As another Labor Day approaches, we are hearing a little less these days about “makers” and “takers” in the nation’s political dialog, which is fine with me.

That’s because when the debate got going hot and heavy during the last presidential campaign, it seemed to me that those making such arguments got the definition of who is a “maker” and who is a “taker” pretty much backwards.

“Makers,” we were told, were the high-flying financiers who crashed the world’s economy, while the “takers” were the average Joes and Janes who worked for a living actually, you know, making things.

Back in the days when Kendall County was on the Illinois frontier, there were a lot of makers who turned out all sorts of things right in their own communities.

Virtually all of the towns up and down the Fox River, with the exception of Aurora, owed their existence to the farmers who surrounded them and who relied on them to provide necessary services. Such services varied widely, from blacksmithing and farrier services to maintaining markets for the crops and livestock farmers and their families produced.

Most of the area’s first factories were small operations, more like workshops, that supplied goods to their immediate areas. To modern eyes, those early factories were hardly imposing. In fact, the earliest “manufactories,” as they were often called back then, were not factories at all in the modern sense.

The related Townsend and Davis families emigrated to Kendall County in the 1830s from New York with the goal of establishing an industrial community. They had the necessary funds, and appar-

ers in Newark. Also in Newark, Nelson Messenger invented and first manufactured his famed “Messenger’s Gopher” corn cultivator in 1860. The operation was then moved to a small limestone building in Millington, where it continued for many years.

Meanwhile over at Millbrook, the Millbrook Shops were opened in 1872 with Edward Budd in charge building “gophers,” or corn cultivators, plus riding plows. The Rev. E.W. Hicks wrote in his 1877 history of Kendall County that “Both the gophers and the riding attachment to the plows are Kendall County inventions, and have had a large sale.” Not until Steward & Marsh opened their factory complex in 1863 in Plano to manufacture harvesters did Kendall County get its first real, Industrial Age factory.

The county’s earliest manufacturing operations were small but suited to providing necessities, from brooms to wagons, for residents of the surrounding countryside. Not until efficient transportation methods became available throughout the nation did it become uneconomical to manufacture wagons or chairs on what was essentially a one-off basis. With the invention and perfection of interchangeable parts and assembly line methods, manufacturing moved from small towns to big cities.

Now, however, the local tide seems to have turned once more, and “Made in Kendall County” labels are again appearing on a growing variety of manufactured goods, though brooms and “gopher” cultivators are (so far, at least) not among them.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Lawlessness in U.S. at all-time high

To the Editor: Lawlessness in the U.S. is at an all-time high with recent demonstrations out of control, where there was looting and burning of buildings. During these demonstrations, police were instructed to stand down or at least not take aggressive action by persons of leadership. The lack of leadership at the federal level to condemn unlawful actions and failure to support law enforcement has fostered what occurred in Houston, Texas, this past Friday, where a sheriff’s deputy was gunned down while fueling his cruiser at a gas station. The cowardly perpetrator shot the deputy in the back of the head and then stood over the downed deputy and continued to fire into the deputy. This occurred without any provocation and for no reason except the victim was a uniformed deputy that represented law enforcement.

In recent past situations of the Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases President Obama made strong statements of concern and even sent a delegation to Michael Brown’s funeral. In the recent killings of four U.S. military personnel by a terrorist, Kate Steinle by an illegal immigrant, two television journalists by a belligerent, and now the killing of a sheriff’s deputy, the president has only offered condolences but has not made strong condemnation of these acts. The president and the Department of Justice have not publicly taken a stand to support law enforcement.

Currently there is a movement and demonstration with the slogan, “Black Lives Matter.” The slogan in our country as declared in the Declaration of Independence should be, “All Lives Matter.”

This country was founded on a constitution and laws to protect everyone and our law enforcement personnel are those who provide protection for all of us regardless of any diverse trait that might divide us.

I am calling on everyone to push back on these controversial movements and show support for our law enforcement personnel. Tell our elected officials that you support our law enforcement personnel who keep us safe and free on a daily basis. At a minimum, thank law enforcement persons the next time you see one because they put their personal safety on the line to protect our safety.

It is time for the president and DOJ to show support for law enforcement to stop the unjust killings and lawlessness that is occurring.

On a local matter, kudos to Matt Schury for his Ledger-Sentinel article informing the public on the facts concerning bringing a Metra station to Kendall County. It is noteworthy that he pointed out, Metra is currently $11 billion in the red and it would require hundreds of millions of revenue from Kendall County to have a Metra station. Thanks, Matt, for your accurate reporting.

Trump popular, not a compromiser

To the Editor: Rush Limbaugh has hit the nail on the head, as he usually does, when he attributes Trump’s popularity to the fact that he is not a politician but an extremely successful businessman. The difference is that a businessman must get things done now or go out of business. A politician has no “skin in the game” and, usually, has years and a political organization around him to obscure his lack of achievement and blunders prior to the next election.

In the midterm elections of 2014, the Republican Party took over the Senate, increased its hold on the House, and swept away a load of Democrat governors.

It should be obvious to anyone with the requisite two brain cells that the American people had had a gut-full of Democrats. So, what has happened? Has Obamacare been repealed or fixed?

Has the invasion across our borders been stopped or slowed? Has Obama been taken to task for his executive orders that totally disregard the Constitution, the Congress, or the will of the American people? Has the new Republican-controlled Congress done anything to reverse the downward spiral of America? If you have been paying attention, the answer is an obvious, no! Trump has not gotten where he is by “getting along” or “compromising”; once he knows what has to be done, he lights a fire under everyone, and the people are responding well to this attitude.

Those that are afraid of Trump will tell any lie that serves their purpose. As an example, the naysayers would have you believe that it would be impossible to deport 12 million illegals. So, don’t deport them. Instead, Trump writes an executive order – those things that you Democrats have come to love so much – that imposes a fine of $100 per day per illegal working for any person or business in this country.

The problem would solve itself. Disgruntled former and current employees would be

dropping dimes all over the place, and the fines imposed might even make money for the government. The only functional problem that I see is keeping an eye on the structural loading of the bridges heading south across the Rio Grande.

Would it violate some laws?

I’d bet on it. But, that hasn’t prevented Obama from doing it, so, why should it stop Trump? What was that phrase? Oh, yes, “Hoist by your own petard.”

Consequences of state run like a business

To the Editor: Last week we saw the future of Illinois. Several social agencies pled their case in the forum section and with an editorial. With no budget, they have no money.

They serve the people society pretty much ignores.

Battered women and children going into the state system.

You can add other services that work with the elderly and disabled. They are on the cutting block.

If you elect a person who says he will run the state like a business, you had better be able to show you have value.

Lost in all the noise regarding collective bargaining, tort reform, disability claims and pensions are people we just don’t see. But Bruce may have a plan.

In a world Mr. Rauner would love to see, we have budget-saving ideas. First,

let’s release all the teachers.

Give every student a laptop and an internet connection and have a satellite link that would beam in a person who could teach that grade. Say every fifth grade class in the state sees that one teacher on the screen. Same for all other grades. You could hire people to patrol the halls and keep order. Maybe ask parents to help out in the kindergarten and first grades to help with the crayons.

Next just outsource maintenance and janitorial services to lowest bidder.

Next Bruce can ask legislators to use their phones and computers so they do not have to commute to Springfield all the time.

Telecommuting would cut the per diem stuff, plus we could close the Statehouse and save utility costs. Maybe

even sell the building. Throw in a couple of state planes to sweeten the deal.

The big ticket item, though, is Medicaid. Recently it was shown that Chicago and Aurora were two of the worst places for retirees. We could offer every elderly Medicaid patient a one-way ticket to the best retirement city in the survey, Tampa, Florida.

Give each a voucher for some meals and housing to get them started. This is big money savings we are talking about.

Bruce could probably bid out the driver’s license facilities. You could get some company overseas to handle the renewals. Just like your credit card companies do. The service would be priceless. With some of the savings we could lower corporate taxes to zero or

maybe pay companies to locate to Illinois. We could eliminate the tax rate for the very wealthy people because Reagan proved there is trickle-down income with that idea. More jobs.

So far our beloved governor has been lacking in ideas to reduce the $6 billion deficit, outside of busting up the unions. It has gotten so bad that the lottery says it can’t pay winners if there is no budget.

The lotto ball lady will announce you have won, here’s your IOU. Sounds like we learned something from Greece. How bad has it become that we can’t even quit your job if we scratch off the winning number. Do the winners hold up the check or the IOU? Ed Washak Yorkville

Vandalism, graffiti

To the Editor: The Kendall Forest Preserve recently decided to close the old “walking bridge” near Millbrook. They indicated safety concerns. They secured the entrance with welded steel bars and large cautions signs.

Within a few weeks these signs were ripped off and tossed away by young vandals. They were photographed by a neighbor and police were called.

This past week in the same area we had graffiti painted on the street to express a political opinion. This obviously was done by a person local to the village or township… an adult of voting age and probably a homeowner. It was a cowardly act by someone unable to stand up at a meeting and express their point of view.

Maybe a narcissistic individual who thinks only their position is right? Where is the respect for the community? Graffiti on the street doesn’t do anything positive.

There are meetings of the Forest Preserve District, the village of Millbrook, the Estates of Millbrook and Fox Township boards that allow for expressions of opinions. The graffiti painter should go. If they had, they would find that their scrawled political message had already been taken care of. I guess it is easier to write on roads than to go to a meeting and find out that the person you were targeting had already resigned.

If you don’t have the ability or courage to speak in front of people, maybe you could contact our local Republican Committeeman, Todd Milliron.

I generally consider Todd a pain but he attends most meetings and has the courage to speak his mind and will represent the opinions of others. As a veteran, I appreciate courage… not cowardly graffiti.

transportation – everything but a job. We have gone to war to free Iraqis and Afghans from these conditions, yet we permit such suffering here.

A minimum wage does not just drive more into welfare-ridden poverty. It harms the rest of us. The wage hike unaccompanied by a productivity increase and with more indigents to support is inflationary, and inflation hurts the poor most.

Automating to avoid hiring artificially expensive labor does not eliminate a cost, it merely reduces the cost increase. We end up over-mechanized and very vulnerable to lower wage foreign competition.

Although there is a practically endless list of bad consequences from minimum wage laws, consider one such

– illegal immigration. Europe’s “migrant” crisis, our Mexican border difficulties, foreign workers in the Persian Gulf States: despair drives people to endanger their lives when the reward is the artificially high wage available in the U.S and Europe. We, and Europe, employ armies of border guards and bureaucrats to stem illegal immigration, capture and deport aliens and finally to grant amnesties, while legal immigrant applicants, many with advanced degrees from American universities, wait for years for admission.

Those advocating any policy except elimination in regard to the minimum wage issue should be shunned as enemies of the poor.

More harm than good

To the Editor: Minimum wage hikes are doing much more harm to poor people and the rest of us than even the climate warming madness, a neo-children’s crusade, if ever there could be one again.

Mrs. Clinton wants a $15 minimum wage. A number of western cities have imposed such laws. Poor countries also – Mexico, for example. What have been the results?

The obvious result is more unemployment and fewer people in the legal workforce.

More “discouraged” or parttime workers join the jobless welfare population. With more poverty comes illegal activities.

More areas of large cities are taken over by gangs. Police are restricted and resisted.

Incidents spark riots as a hopeless future erodes civic responsibility. The political establishment benefits from their votes in return for welfare – food stamps, housing, medical,

8 NEWS • Thursday, September 3, 2015 • Kendall County Record / KendallCountyNow.com

By MATT SCHURY mschury@shawmedia.com Hiring people with disabilities was the topic of a recent panel discussion led by U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, and U.S. Deputy Secretary of Labor Chris Lu at the offices of the Fox Metro Water Reclamation District near Montgomery.

A large group of area business leaders, employers and local state representatives participated in the discussion Wednesday, Aug. 26.

Foster said his office reached out to local employers and advocacy groups who support disabled workers to inform them about how they can help such workers, who all too often go unnoticed.

“This is an issue that doesn’t get as much attention as it deserves,” Foster said, adding, “Employing the disabled isn’t an act of charity, it benefits all of us.”

He explained that employing the disabled allows employers to be eligible for tax breaks including a tax credit of up to $2,400.

Foster said there are tax credits available to make workplaces compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, including a $10,000 credit to small businesses and a deduction of up to $15,000 for employers of any size for the removal of architecture and transportation barriers to persons with disabilities.

Foster and Lu pointed out that it has been 25 years since President George H.W. Bush signed the ADA into law.

Lu said despite the physical improvements to help the disabled get around that have been accomplished under ADA, many people with

disabilities still struggle to find work.

“While we are right to congratulate ourselves about curb cuts and push button doors, the harsh reality right now is that the labor force participation of people with disabilities is only 20 percent, compared to 70 percent for the general population,” he said.

The Department of Labor, Lu added, strongly believes that e m p l o y ment first is the right approach to serving U.S. Rep. people with Bill Foster disabilities.

He said employers need to give every opportunity to integrate people with disabilities into traditional workplaces.

“America is in a global competition right now and in this competition we need to field a full team, we can’t afford to leave anyone on the sidelines,” Lu said.

About 50 people packed into the administration building at Fox Metro for the discussion. Tom Muth, district manager for Fox Metro, introduced Foster and Lu. He said employing the disabled is a priority at the district.

“We are the stewards of the environment and we strive to be an equal rights employer,” Muth said.

The panel members cleared up some of the misconceptions about hiring the disabled and talked about tax incentives as well as resources for employers who hire the disabled. The speakers also discussed how employers can find qualified employees.

Ken Skord, director of AbilityLinks, a website that helps people with disabili-

ties find jobs, said many times tax dollars and insurance dollars are spent to help people recover from disabilities.

“This is a way for you as an employer to be proactive to find qualified candidates with disabilities,” he said. “You can’t ask about disability but people with disabilities can volunteer to disclose.”

He added that people who post their résumés on AbilityLinks self-identify their disability.

Janice Duvall, a referral counselor at AbilityLinks, shared her own story of being born with a rare heredity eye condition that limits her vision.

“I’m here to put a face on an individual who has a disability in the workplace,” she said.

Duvall said that she grew up and went through school without any tools to help her with her disability.

“I was an individual with a disability that had sight, I was considered low vision,” she said.

She recalled the technique she used to see the blackboard in elementary school.

“If I had to see the blackboard I just pushed my little desk up to the blackboard, put my nose about three inches from the blackboard and read it,” she said.

“There was no other avenue for me.”

She said that was what life was like for a student with a disability up until the 1990s.

Duvall said that she now has assistance from technology that helps her do her job.

“I thought we played fairly well and consistent, considering Indian Oaks is one of the toughest nine-hole courses in the area,” Newark head coach Jim Hissong said.

On Saturday, Newark placed third at the 10-team Putnam County Scramble.

Henry was the winning team with a 62, while Putnam County (66) won a scorecard playoff to finish second

ahead of Newark (66).

“I was pleased with our play on Saturday considering that Edgewood Park is the home course for both Henry and Putnam County,” Hissong said. “It was a really fun day for all of the golfers.”

This week, Newark will play Harvest Christian and Reed Custer before facing Indian Creek on Friday in Little Ten Conference action at Indian Oaks Golf Course.

Norsemen lost 7-2 to Ottawa with Bartkus scoring both goals, and finished in a 4-4 tie with Harvest Christian.

Newark was trailing Harvest Christian at halftime, but goals from Nick Bartkus and Billy Gebhard helped force the eventual tie.

The Newark soccer team won the Paw Paw Invite on Saturday behind a 12-goal effort from Tom Bartkus.

Joliet Central Invite is up next • VOLLEYBALL

Continued from page 20 Yorkville struggled with its passing game early in the third-set tiebreaker, allowing Metea Valley to once again stake an early lead before the Foxes battled back to lead 10-9.

Metea Valley’s Ashley Walker scored twice from the right side and help the Mustangs to an eventual 1815 lead before Dunn called his final timeout of the night.

Yorkville pulled within two (20-18), but the Foxes committed three late errors to give Metea Valley the match. Nolan finished with five kills and five blocks, Ellen had five kills and three blocks while senior Sam Pierce had 13 digs and

junior Laiken Miller had seven assists.

“We’ve got some girls that are still inexperienced and I give our girls a lot of credit. They could have just rolled over and died int he second game, but they kept fighting back,” Dunn said. “We got momentum in the third, but you just can’t give a good team like that free points. We’re going to go back to practice [Wednesday] and get better. That’s all we can do. It doesn’t matter who’s there or who’s not; it is what it is.”

Yorkville will enter the two-day Joliet Central Invite on Friday before hosting Joliet Central on Tuesday in non-conference play.

SOCCER RECAP

Yorkville boys soccer starts season on the road cbolin@kendallcountynow.com After going 2-1 in DeKalb’s Barb Cup Tournament, the Yorkville boys soccer team finished in third place and is now 2-3 overall after being on the road for the first five games of the season.

The Foxes started the tournament on Aug. 25 with a 5-3 victory over Freeport, lost to Sterling (3-0 last Thursday) and topped Burlington Central, 6-1, last Saturday.

Against Freeport, the game was tied 3-3 at the half before the Foxes scored twice in the second half. Alex Noyola scored twice, Bobby Reichert scored and had an assist, Wyatt McKibbon posted two assists, both Matt Sutkay and Steven Godinez each scored once while Steve Ramirez and Jackson Torok

each had an assist.

“Every player who stepped onto the field contributed and helped us maintain possession throughout with many scoring opportunities created,” Yorkville head coach Andrew Johnson said. “Every guy came to play. Our defense held tight and supported one another well. Spencer Snider, Peyton Frankenreider, Steven Godinez and Steve Ramirez showed a great cohesiveness throughout the game.

Our forwards brought a ton of energy and never stopped.

It was a fun game to watch.”

Against Sterling, the Golden Warriors led 2-0 at halftime, but the Foxes just couldn’t find the back of the net.

“We had a lot of opportunities in the attacking third but couldn’t finish,” Johnson said. “Their keeper read that well. Alex Noyola and Wyatt McKibbon played ex-

tremely well for us in the center of the field, with Steven Godinez also coming up with big plays right behind them.”

Against Burlington Central in the third place game, which was shortened to 50

minutes due to the weather, Bailey Kish scored four goals, including his first three within 15 minutes of play. Connor Willie, Reichert, Bronson Rodgers and Charlie Williams each posted two assists. Sopho-

more keeper Ben Schafermeyer, in his first varsity start, only allowed one goal.

On Monday in nonconference action, Plainfield North defeated Yorkville, 8-1. Reichert scored the lone goal for the Foxes in the sec-

ond half on an assist from Sutkay.

The Foxes will take on Plainfield South, IMSA and East Aurora before starting Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference play hosting DeKalb on Sept. 10.

SWIMMING PREVIEW

Yorkville swimming in 2nd year as co-op 10 Foxes represent in Titans’ program

By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com Last year was the first year Yorkville joined IMSA for a co-oped girls’ swimming and diving team. The experience was a positive one, so there is no doubt the transition in year two will go just as well – if not better.

So far so good for the Titans, who have 10 swimmers (of 54 total) from Yorkville in the program.

“Last year, we treated it like a rebuilding year,” IMSA head coach Kevin Satler said. “Now that I know what we have, we’d like to focus on the physical training aspect of it and go over things they don’t know.”

Last year saw the Titans win the Byron Independent Championships and place 10th of 13 teams at the Metea Valley Sectional. No one advanced to the state tournament, but several school records were set.

“So many were right there last year,” Satler said of athletes qualifying for state. “We are hoping to send at least one relay and one individual this year.”

Everyone from Yorkville from last year’s team is back, including sophomores Haylie Wolf, Maya Tiseth, Kaylynn Gillespie, Taylor Hotchkin, juniors Brooke Jensen and Krystal Gilles-

pie and seniors Lexi Weiss and Tabatha Garcia. The two freshmen are Arielle Encabo and Katie Casanovas.

Jensen was a part of two relay teams that set new school records (the 400-yard freestyle, 200-yard freestyle). Weiss was also a part of the 200-medley relay team that set a school record as well as Wolf in the 200-yard IM. Already, IMSA-Yorkville is off to a good start. The squad topped Huntley, 11568, at IMSA on Aug. 25. The next two dual meets are at Lemont and St. Viator before a tri-meet at home with St. Francis and Rockford Christian on Sept. 15. “[The meet against Huntley] was nice because we didn’t have any disqualifications in any of the relays,” Satler said. “That’s rare for the first outing of the season, so we were very happy with that. The new swimmers have been very good at learning and the sportsmanship was very good.”

IMSA-Yorkville will host an invite on Oct. 3 before a dual with DeKalb at IMSA on Oct. 13.

“DeKalb will be a benchmark for us – it will be a close meet and it’s something we are focused on,” Satler said.

The Independent Championships at Byron is scheduled for Oct. 31 with the sectional scheduled two weeks later.

“I give our offense a lot of credit – Bryce ran really hard,” McGuire said. “I thought we came out and did a great job initially in the first half ...but [Plano is] a good team, there’s

no doubt about it. I would imagine they are going to be in the playoffs for sure.”

Yorkville is hoping to bounce back at home in Week 2 of the season Friday night against Sandwich – a team the Foxes defeated 47-7 last year.

Sandwich is coming off a Week 1 loss to Wilmington (48-13), the defending Class 3A state champions.

“Right now, we need to worry about ourselves, take care of our number of penalties and limit our turnovers,” McGuire said.

“If we can do that, I think we will be in much better shape.”

PREP FOOTBALL: PLANO 28, YORKVILLE 14

Foxes keeping positive outlook Prepare for home opener vs. Sandwich

By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com Even though the Yorkville football team lost to Plano in Week 1 of the season, Foxes’ head coach Dan McGuire’s assessment of his team – and the Reapers, for that matter – was positive.

Plano topped Yorkville, 2814, in Plano last Friday night after the Reapers scored 22 points in the third quarter.

“We have a very nice team.

We just need to take care of the things we can control,” McGuire said. “We are not a flashy team ... but we can’t afford to make mistakes. We can’t make any excuses. We have to give Plano credit. They played a great game.”

Yorkville, a Class 6A school, is the biggest school Plano (Class 4A) will play this season, which makes this win for the Reapers that much sweeter.

“We did a lot of things this summer to be ready for a big school like Yorkville,” Plano head coach Brad Kunz said.

“We went to 7-on-7’s where there were a lot of [Class] 7A and 8A schools, and we felt like we hung with them. That confidence carried over tonight, and our guys knew if they did their job and worked hard ... they just played with so much heart.”

Four different players scored for the Reapers, who tallied three times in the third quarter after the game was tied at 7-7 at halftime. Plano scored first with 8:04 left in the first quarter, when quarterback Tyler Ward (131 yards passing)

found Israel Adeoti (53 yards receiving) with a 41-yard pass.

Yorkville tied the game in the closing seconds of the first half, when quarterback Cameron Van Boekel (90 yards passing) scored on a 1-yard run.

Plano then exploded for three touchdowns in the third – two on Yorkville miscues – for a 27-7 advantage entering the final frame.

Michael Marshall (26 carries, 110 yards) scored on a 14yard run, Nick Dahlke scored when Adeoti bobbled the ball to him near the end zone and

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: METEA VALLEY 2, YORKVILLE 1

Rally falls short in Aurora Limited lineup comes to play, forces 3rd-game tiebreaker

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com Trailing Metea Valley 10-1 in Game 2, the Yorkville girls’ volleyball team could have thrown in the towel.

The Foxes were down one game to the Mustangs, playing without two starters and looking at a lopsided scoreboard on Tuesday night. Instead, Yorkville (3-4) rallied back to win 2522 and force a third-set tiebreaker before eventually losing 22-25, 25-22, 19-25.

“I give those girls a lot of credit. They played their butts off. They played their hearts out,” Yorkville head coach Mike Dunn said.

“We’re not going to make excuses; it is what it is. We

filled the lineup and gave ourselves chances to win.

I thought we made some pretty good adjustments blocking-wise, but we just killed ourselves with unforced errors at the end of the match.”

Yorkville is without four-year starter Jordan Albarran, who suffered a knee injury last Saturday at the Wheaton North Tournament, as well as three-year starter Emily Gutzwiler, who is also expected to be out of the lineup for an extended period.

The first game exchanged leads throughout the set before a string of Yorkville errors gave Metea Valley a 21-20 lead, and the Mustangs ended the game on a kill. Metea Val-

ley opened the second game with a 9-0 start, gave up a point on a net violation and led 13-3 before committing another error to give Yorkville a sideout.

Behind strong net play by junior Katie Nolan, freshman Bella Zeman and sophomore Jenna Fosnacht, Yorkville chipped away at its deficit to eventually take a 19-18 lead. Consecutive attacks from senior Chelsey Ellen and junior Lindsay Loquercio kept the Foxes ahead, and a lift call on the Mustangs pushed Yorkville to a 22-20 lead. Ellen’s kill helped Yorkville recover from a front row error before Zeman’s ball found the floor for a 25-22 win.

renaissance?

Oswego East grad studies instrument’s history, future

“It’s incredibly cheap, it’s incredibly portable and it’s very easy to play. I can get a classroom of students learning a song after 10 minutes, which is a success rate I cannot get with the recorder, and it sounds great.”

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com

J

acob Prosek thinks the harmonica has a future in classrooms.

The recent North Central College graduate from Oswego traveled to Trossingen, Germany, this summer to research the culture of harmonica music. In the small southern German town, Prosek found a harmonica capital as well as a place that could serve as a model for what he sees as the future of teaching music.

“It is a town that has one of the highest concentrations of the world’s greatest harmonica players,” he said.

During his time in Germany, Prosek heard whole orchestras made up entirely of harmonica players and spoke to teachers who use the instrument extensively in teaching. He said he saw a junior high and high school harmonica orchestra play pop songs such as Michael Jackson’s “Billy Jean” and the Daft Punk song “Get Lucky.”

“The kids there think it’s totally normal, which is probably the coolest part,” he said.

The Oswego East graduate also toured the headquarters of Hohner, the world’s leading manufacturer of the instrument. Prosek spent a week in Trossingen conducting interviews, observing classes. He participated in their teacher training and observed private lessons.

He also did some archival research at Heidelberg University in Germany and interviewed a German music teacher to get some perspective on it.

“I was very curious before the research – how common is harmonica education in Germany right now and the answer is not very,” he said.

It turns out, Prosek said, Trossingen and some surrounding towns are in the forefront of using harmonicas to teach music.

He intends to present his research at North Central College during fall term and demonstrate a variety of harmonicas.

The goal of his research, Prosek says, was to find the best way to teach harmonica and share that with teachers in America.

He adds that with his research, if teachers want to include the harmonica in their curriculum, they will know the best practice for doing so.

“We have this opportunity to learn from all of this experience that the teachers in Trossingen

Everyone was incredibly welcoming and incredibly generous with their time.”

Prosek received a Richter Grant that paid for most of the travel expenses. Attached to the trip was a summer course he took through North Central.

Prosek couldn’t use traditional financial aid for the course so the Dunham Fund, an Aurora-based philanthropic organization, paid his course fee. Apollo Music Inc. of Aurora covered the research he did at Heidelberg University.

He mentioned that he first saw the idea of using harmonicas in the classroom after he read an article in Teaching Music magazine about implementing the harmon-

ica into general music. Before that, he said it never occurred to him to use the instrument.

“My hope is to try to give educators the tools they need to create the best experience possible for their students and I feel like harmonica can be a vital music tool in creating that experience,” he said.

Prosek has a few theories as to why harmonicas could overtake the recorder or xylophone as the preferred instructional instrument for teaching music.

“It’s incredibly cheap, it’s incredibly portable and it’s very easy to play,” he said. “I can get a classroom of students learning a song after 10 minutes, which is a success rate I cannot get with the recorder, and it sounds great.”

School districts on a tight budget may especially take notice

of the price. A harmonica that Prosek says he uses costs about $2 compared to $5 for a recorder.

“The savings could be huge,” he said.

Prosek says he can use the harmonica to teach the same things he can on the more popular recorder like traditional notation.

“Any qualified music teacher can teach diatonic harmonica and that was a sentiment that was shared with many of the experts in Germany,” he said.

One thing the harmonica doesn’t have going for it is the ability for students to learn fingering, but everything else about the instrument suggests that it could be a great learning tool, Prosek says.

He added that the kids love the harmonica and that is what

motivated him to continue the research.

“It’s very easy to improvise on, it’s very easy to compose on because of the way that the instrument is designed,” he said.

“If you gave a child a bassoon or piano, it’s hard to improvise or compose.”

From the listener’s perspective, harmonicas have an advantage.

“Some educators would argue that 30 recorders is not the most pleasing aesthetic experience and you don’t have that issue with harmonica,” he said.

The history of the harmonica is something that also intrigued Prosek because in early 19th century, the harmonica was actually a popular instrument in classrooms. In fact, Prosek says the National Bureau of the Advancement of Music had 70,000 children playing harmonicas in schools in 1928 and by 1935 there were 5,000 harmonica bands in American schools.

“When we entered World War II, America stopped accepting German imports and the [harmonica] trend came to a halt and all of the bands kind of dismantled,” he said.

After World War II ended, Americans started buying harmonicas again but they never regained popularity as an instrument for schoolchildren.

Even today, while harmonicas are not prominent in popular music, the instrument is there in the background filling out the sound.

“I think with the resurgence of alternative rock and of Americana folk there has been a lot more interest in harmonica as of recently,” he said. “A lot of time a harmonica will be part of the fabric of a song and we don’t even notice it.”

SHAW MEDIA Waubonsee Community College has named Kendall County Sheriff Dwight Baird its 2015 Distinguished Alumnus.

Baird attended Waubonsee after graduating from Oswego High School in 1986, to study criminal justice.

“I had heard great things about Waubonsee, and it was a good fit for me,” Baird said. “I could work a couple of jobs while still getting my education.”

When he earned his associate degree in 1988, Baird was still too young to test to become a police officer, and so he continued his job in loss prevention at the Montgomery K-Mart store until he turned 21 and was hired on at the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office by then-Sheriff Richard Randall, also a Waubonsee alumnus.

“The great thing I see in Waubonsee and other community college graduates is that they have often worked in the real world and have that life experience,” Baird said.

“That experience helps them relate to the people and situations they’ll be dealing with.”

After working as a sheriff’s deputy a few years, Baird spent more

than 22 years on the Oswego Police Department, rising through the ranks to become chief and also serving as the interim village administrator for a time.

As he moved up the ranks, Baird sought out additional education, earning his bachelor’s degree from A u r o r a University and his master’s d e g r e e from WestKendall ern Illinois County University.

Sheriff ThroughDwight Baird o u t t h e s e experiences, he continued to draw on his time at Waubonsee.

“I would still find myself reflecting on projects I did at Waubonsee or even referencing books I had used there,” Baird said.

Baird consulted his long-held career plan once again in 2014 when he ran for and was elected Kendall County sheriff.

“Kendall County is very diverse, ranging from suburban areas to more rural townships,” Baird said. “One day we could be dealing with a cow in a roadway and then the next with a driveby shooting. It’s a very diverse area, and the workload is ever-changing.”

Free GED services offered for local youth

The Kendall Youth Employment Program is offering free GED tutoring and other services to youth 16 through 24 years of age. Participants must live in Kendall, Kane or DeKalb County and apply to join the program.

“After assessing a youth’s academic prowess, we tutor one-on-one to strengthen weak areas and we also give access to websites and worksheets that specifically help prepare for the GED test,” said Laura Stransky, KYEP teacher.

The version of the GED test that began in January 2014 is more rigorous than the previous version because it is aligned with Common Core Standards. Youth who are 16 or 17 years old must provide documentation of formal withdrawal from high school.

This summer has been exceptional for magnolia scale. Master Gardeners at the help desks have constantly been addressing this situation with homeowners for the past five-plus weeks.

A typical life cycle of a scale is an overwintering female producing eggs under her protective scale covering. The eggs will hatch into very tiny crawlers that may resemble an aphid. These crawlers then move farther out on the branch to tender twigs and the leaves, where they use their piercing, sucking mouthparts to tap into the tree’s vascular system to get their liquid diet.

Most scales are a bother earlier in the summer and magnolia scale later in August. This year, calls started coming in mid-June, well ahead of normal. Calls were not always about the scale in the beginning, rather “What is all this black stuff all over everything?”

As the young scale crawlers begin to feed on the plant juices, much of it passes through their bodies and onto surfaces below. That sticky exudate is a great growth media for sooty mold, the black material covering foliage, lawn ornaments, the grill, sidewalks and driveways, not to mention the car parked under the canopy

DOWN THE GARDEN PATH Richard Hentschel on the driveway.

Magnolia scale has very likely been living quietly and peacefully on the magnolia tree for a long time, going unnoticed or creating minimal sooty mold below. In order to have such a large population this year, conditions last year were perfect, allowing large numbers of female scales to overwinter to produce all the crawlers this year.

While the sooty mold is not desirable on plants below and other belongings, it is worse for the magnolia as it can completely cover the upper sides of the foliage, greatly reducing the plants ability to produce photosynthates.

Additionally, the crawlers are removing the liquids from the plant, as well. The magnolia will not overwinter as well as it should, may not produce the blooms for next year and even suffer dieback from winter cold weather. With these heavy infestations, losing interior foliage and limbs is a strong possibility.

With the abundance of crawler scales there should also be a strong increase in the number of

natural predators feeding on the crawlers. The Twice Spotted lady beetle and other lady beetle larvae stages eat well. If predators are present, control options are limited to insecticidal soap. If management is going to include pesticides, the label will need to list the insect to be sprayed. Like other scale insects, dormant oil sprays are also effective in controlling overwintering female adult scales.

To help the magnolias with the loss of sap, water now and keep watering until it is time to remove the hose from the house for the winter.

Natural Beginnings lead teacher presents at preschool conference KENDALL COUNTY RECORD Megan Gessler, manager and lead teacher of Natural Beginnings Early Learning Program, recently traveled to Gainesville, Ga., as a presenting speaker at the 2015 National Nature-Based Preschool Conference.

Gessler represented both the Kendall County Forest Preserve District, home of Natural Beginnings, and the Northern Illinois Nature Preschool Association.

In presenting the conclusion of the final seminar, Gessler detailed how she and Natural Beginnings have partnered with other local organizations – from Red Oak Nature Center’s preschool to the Morton Arboretum and the Chicago Botanic Garden – to share ideas and resources at a regional level.

“Megan was a great addition to the planning committee for the National Nature Preschool Conference. Her work on a regional level in creating NINPA is not only inspirational to other leaders, but provides the framework for getting started.

Her presentation brought that to life for the conference attendees in a fun and energizing way.

It was impressive the expanse of ideas that were generated during her session, and that people have already started implementing,” said Rachel Larimore, director of education at Chippewa Nature Center and author of “Establishing a Nature-Based Preschool.”

Gessler is currently working on her Master’s of Education from Antioch University New England, where there is specific instruction on running a nature-based early childhood education program.

Learn about preserving food SHAW MEDIA Whether you grow your own, or frequent the farmers market, there is nothing like the taste of fresh, ripe produce. Imagine experiencing it year round.

“Food preservation is an amazing way to stretch the flavor and freshness of your home harvest or local farmers market,” said Laura Barr, University of Illinois Extension Nutrition and Wellness Educator. “I have ‘put up’ strawberry preserves, green beans, dill pickles, corn relish, tomato sauce and salsa with the fresh, abundant produce of the season. However, proper methods and procedures must be followed for safe final products.”

Barr has been sharing samples and tips from projects like these during food preservation demon-

strations with the Aurora Farmers Market this summer.

Her next demonstration will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 12, at the Aurora Farmers Market.

Barr will demonstrate how to make apple butter, and there also will be a taste testing of completed recipes.

University of Illinois Extension and the National Center for Home Food Preservation can provide the latest news on home food preservation.

Megan Gessler was a presenting speaker at the 2015 National Nature-Based Preschool Conference. In 2013, she founded the Northern Illinois Nature Preschool Association to connect with other nature-based preschools.

“I have always loved the outdoors and I enjoy working with young children. It is a blessing to find a profession where your passion and your job duties unite. I am excited to see where the future of nature-based education is headed and I want to be a part of it,” said Gessler.

In 2013, Gessler founded the Northern Illinois Nature Preschool Association hoping to find other nature-based preschools to connect with.

NINPA now has over 30 members from more than 15 different facilities/programs.

mia Italian polenta is a versatile dinner option

Creamy Polenta with Garden Tomato Sauce Garden Tomato Sauce ingredients: 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced, about ½ cup 1 small celery stalk, trimmed and diced, about ½ cup 1 medium onion, peeled and chopped 2 large garlic cloves, diced 18 plum tomatoes, peeled and chopped ½ teaspoon dried oregano ½ teaspoon salt 4 to 8 pre-cooked Italian-style chicken sausage, cut into chunks (optional) ¼ cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese

Creamy Polenta ingredients: 2 cups reduced-fat milk 2 cups water ¾ teaspoon salt 1½ cups stoneground cornmeal 2 tablespoons butter Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrot, celery, onion and garlic; cook, stirring, 5 minutes.

Add tomatoes and any juice from the bowl.

Mash lightly with a wooden spoon. Add oregano and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes, until tomatoes have cooked down and formed a chunky sauce. Add sausage and stir to

combine. Cook 5 to 10 minutes, until sausage is heated through. Add cheese and stir well.

Remove from heat and keep warm until ready to serve.

To make polenta, combine milk and water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Gradually add cornmeal, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Add butter.

Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring almost constantly, 25 to 30 minutes, until polenta is thick. Serve topped with warm sauce and chunks of sausage. Serves 4.

W

hen tomatoes are at their peak, make a delicious garden tomato sauce to serve over pasta or polenta (stone-ground cornmeal). Polenta is super easy to prepare: just bring water and milk to a boil, stir in the cornmeal and whisk like mad, whirling the grains around in the hot liquid until the whole thing thickens and becomes creamy.

The sauce works best with peeled tomatoes. Here’s an easy method: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. With a sharp knife, slice off stem ends of tomatoes and carve an “X” in opposite ends. One at a time, gently place them into boiling water. Prepare a large bowl of ice water. After a minute or so, you will see the skin around the “X” begin to curl.

With a ladle, transfer tomatoes to ice water to stop the cooking. When tomatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them while working over a bowl to catch any juices. Place peeled tomatoes in the bowl and chop coarsely.

In this recipe, we used chicken sausage because it’s less greasy and typically comes precooked, but you can use whatever sausage or meat you like (meatballs are good too), or prepare the dish with no meat at all. You can make the sauce ahead and reheat it just before serving.

Learn about four Hs at 4-H kick-off event 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 from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 3, 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 hands-on 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 kick-off 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, 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. University of Illinois Extension provides educational programs and research-based information to help Illinois residents improve their quality of life, develop skills and solve problems.
