The intersection of Route 30 and Orchard Road in Montgomery is the scene of daily traffic back-ups and frequent and often serious accidents. The county is asking IDOT to fund widening and additional turn lanes at the intersection.

Will ask IDOT for improvements at busy crossing

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com Kendall County is the latest local government agency to ask the Illinois Department of Transportation to make improvements to the intersection at Route 30 and Orchard Road in Montgomery.

In a unanimous vote Tuesday, the Kendall County Board approved sending a letter to IDOT requesting that the agency include funding for widening and additional turn lanes at the intersection in the agency’s five-year highway improvement program.

Board member Elizabeth Flowers of Montgomery was absent from the meeting and the vote to send the letter.

IDOT has jurisdiction over the intersection, while Kane County maintains Orchard Road north of Route 30 and Kendall County maintains Orchard Road to the south of the intersection.

The letter, signed by County Board Chairman John Shaw, will be sent to John Fortmann, deputy director for IDOT Region 1, as well as Kane County Board Chairman Chris Lauzen and Montgomery

Village President Matt Brolley. It notes the intersection’s “F” rating for traffic movements at that location.

Board member Dan Koukol explained that the letter is the first step in getting IDOT to upgrade the intersection.

“We would like to encourage IDOT to put that on the front burner in their five-year plan,” Koukol said. “All of the other entities are involved so this is something we would like to get on the bandwagon with.”

In the letter, Shaw notes that about 50,000 vehicles per day travel through the intersection.

Shaw also notes in the letter that “by 2040, this [traffic] volume is expected to increase over 70 percent. This intersection also has one of the highest accident rates in Montgomery, according to Montgomery officials.”

IDOT is currently studying the widening and improvement of Route 30 between the Route 31 interchange and Route 47. Those improvements, however, are not in the state’s five-year plan.

Brolley previously has said he would like to see IDOT improve

the intersection as quickly as possible while continuing to plan for the eventual widening of Route 30 between Routes 31 and 47.

Shaw says in the letter that he believes that the “intersection improvements at Orchard Road represent the single most urgent need in the overall project and should be considered as a stand-alone project that could be advanced separately from other Route 30 improvements.”

He also notes that the county highway department would work with IDOT, Kane County and Montgomery to investigate the possibility of moving forward with the improvements.

Brolley and other village officials have been actively seeking improvements to the intersection to boost safety and expedite traffic flow. Currently, traffic back-ups are a daily occurrence at the intersection, especially during morning and evening rush hour periods.

Shaw said the letter was requested by Brolley for safety reasons “in response to the carnage up there at Route 30 and Orchard Road … there have been some doozies [accidents].”

Oswego Police Chief Jeff Burgner is one step closer to seeing a new police station become a reality after Oswego village trustees agreed to move forward with the project during a Tuesday night meeting.

Village Finance Director Mark Horton said the projected $30 million price on the new station will be paid without raising property taxes for residents.

“We can build the police facility, finance it over 20 years, and not increase property taxes,” he said. “I don’t know why that lightbulb didn’t go off sooner, but it did, and we’re in good shape.”

Funding for the village’s capital improvement plan, which includes the new station, is being provided through current operating revenues and bond issuances for the new police facility.

Horton said with the board’s approval, a $10 million bond is expected to be issued by May. Village Administrator Daniel Di Santo presented several options regarding the new station during the board’s Committee of the Whole meeting on Tuesday, during which he outlined the village’s revised capital improvement plan.

The plan, which was originally brought to the board in December 2015, has been tinkered with to reflect changes to the proposed police facility.

Burgner, along with village staff, worked together to meld two potential models for the future station to make the project fiscally reasonable, as well as plan for the future.

$30.9 million and would put the department in a position to have no future additions until 2025. It is projected to be 72,903 square feet and be sufficient to accommodate a department serving over 48,000 people.

Model two would cost $34.3 million, and would require no future additions until 2040, Burgner said.

The village’s population would need to reach 69,000 before the building would require expansion.

“We want to reach for the stars,” Trustee Luis Perez said of the two plans. “I’m leaning on trying to make design model two work, unless something is really unsatisfactory to us. ...

If we want the best for the long term, this is where we start.”

Staff recommendations have been suggested to reduce costs associated with model two, and those were presented on Tuesday.

Some small concessions were recommended to help save costs, including deferring 50 parking spots, downsizing a proposed community room, reducing work stations, and reducing an eight-stall shooting range to six stalls.

Larger cuts were proposed, but not recommended in the staff’s reduction plan. Those cuts included the complete elimination of a community room, firing range and task force work space. These large cuts would bring the building costs down to $25 million, but were not recommended as best for the community.

That said, the proposed cost will likely remain in the $30 million range, and include downsizing instead of eliminating certain areas

Di Santo said once the $10 million bond is issued, the village can move forward with architects and construction managers to further help reduce costs.

Every trustee in attendance agreed to move forward with the project as currently proposed at the $30 million budget.

“I’m so proud of this board for saying, ‘I’m not going to let the numbers scare us and do nothing,’”

Village President Gail Johnson said.

The next looming question came from Trustee Pam Parr.

“Are we getting any closer to a location?” she asked.

“I’d hate to have to put it on a floating island somewhere.”

The new police station would replace the police department’s existing facility on U.S. Route 34, across from the Fox Bend Golf Course. Constructed in 199091 on a landlocked site, the building has become crowded as the police department has grown over the past two

decades.

Also during the meeting, the board also recommended moving forward with a $1.6 million environmental study on Wolf’s Crossing Road improvements also listed in the village’s capital improvement plan.

Local man ordered to repay $23,493 SHAW MEDIA A Montgomery man, Anwar E. Thomas, 38, of the 1900 block of Grand View Place, has been sentenced to 180 days in the Kendall County Jail in Yorkville, ordered to complete a two-year term of probation and required to pay $23,493 in restitution to the Office of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to a plea agreement on the charges of theft by deception and forgery, Kendall County State’s Attorney Eric Weis recently announced.

The restitution was required to be paid at the time Thomas entered into the agreed felony sentence, Weis said.

According to Weis, Thomas perpetuated a scheme between March 2009 and February 2011 where he claimed he was the owner of a home in Kendall County that he had been renting.

Weis said Thomas alleged that he had leased this property to another person who needed gov-

ernment assistance from the Aurora Housing Authority.

Thomas then provided forged documents purporting to show him as the rightful owner of the property.

Weis said that based on the false documents, Thomas was able to defraud the U.S. government of over $20,000 dollars.

Weis praised the work of investigators working for the Office of Housing and Urban Development’s Inspector General in catching an individual who was taking money from those who need it most.

“As a result of this prosecution, we were able to secure the return of the full amount of taxpayer funds improperly obtained by this defendant.

This will hopefully allow for someone who truly needs this assistance to be able to obtain it without any additional costs to taxpayers,” Weis said.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant State’s Attorney Frank Gorup.

Oswego OKs loan for meat market on Rt. 71

By ERIKA WURST news@kendallcountynow.com Barbecues will likely be a bit better for Oswego residents this summer, thanks to a new meat market scheduled to open in the village this April.

Sages Meat Market, which has operated in Morris for more than a decade, will relocate to Oswego’s Route 34 corridor this spring in a move Oswego village trustees said they’re excited about.

On Tuesday, the board approved a $55,000 economic development loan sought by meat market owners Tom and Ann Dobbels. The funds, which will come from the village’s Revolving Loan Fund, will help the business get off the ground at its new site.

Ann, a former first-grade teacher, had dreams of selling homemade soups, sandwiches and salads from the family’s Morris location, but with no kitch-

en, the dream would never come to fruition. When they went in search of a new location, Oswego’s loan incentive, and tight-knit community, drew them to town, they said.

According to Village Finance Director Mark Horton, the village’s Revolving Loan Fund was established to provide financial assistance to new or expanding businesses within the village and to develop a stronger economic base and expanded job opportunities.

“Payments go back into that fund, interest goes back into that fund, and are used for projects that can’t typically get financing from a bank,” said Oswego Economic Development Director Vijay Gadde. Interest on loans is approximately 3 percent, which is lower than a typical bank loan, he said.

According to Tom and Ann Dobbels, the estimated total costs

for the project are $111,000. They are seeking $55,000 from the fund for the purchase of kitchen equipment and to fund the interior build-out of the leased space.

The couple, who will locate their business at 4538 Route 71 in the old Genoa Pizza space, said they are thrilled about the move, and excited to bring their products to Oswego residents, although they anticipate their old customers will make the drive to their new location.

“We’re hoping to bring more customers to Oswego and to see the downtown as well,” Tom Dobbels told the board during a Committee of the Whole meeting on Tuesday.

Tom Dobbels said he plans to cross-sell with existing businesses, including Sage Spice Shop and Ace Hardware, which they hope will sell more grills as a result of the new meat market location.

“We are huge supporters

of community organizations through donations and discounts,” the couple wrote in a memo to the board. The business currently provides meat for Yorkville and Minooka football cookouts.

Tom Dobbels, who grew up on a livestock farm, said he hopes to bring his years of butcher experience to new clientele. He said his family plans on reaching out to residents to see what they’d like to see at the new location.

The menu, which includes gourmet burgers, like bacon jalapeno cheddar and mushroom swiss, is vast.

Specialty items – ranging from cheese-stuffed portabella mushrooms to stuffed green peppers – accompany dozens of different beef, chicken and pork cuts.

Sausages, bison, elk, venison and fish are also featured. The shop will even cut your deer to order and make fresh sausages

or smoked products out of your kill. The business will also accept LINK cards.

Those looking to get email updates about the menu and fresh fish list should email tdobbels@ comcast.net to get on an email list.

Trustee Luis Perez peppered the couple about their concerns surrounding construction on Route 71 past their new store location and whether they believe it will impact their business.

“Do you worry about your business? Because construction is death to a business,” Perez said.

The couple, however, remained confident that they would succeed, as did Trustee Pam Parr.

“I have supreme confidence,” she said. “I love the idea. It would be so neat to be able to walk in and order some meat rather than me just have to wait to hit a cow with my car. I’m very excited for you to come, and welcome.”

Juvenile delinquency Planning OK’d for Collins Rd. cases increased in ’15 Engineering designs to be made for extension Among factors was change to state law, state’s attorney says

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com Juvenile delinquency is up in Kendall County, according to State’s Attorney Eric Weis.

“The only trend that has gone up significantly or continues to go up significantly is our juvenile delinquency cases,” Weis said.

Weis delivered his 2015 endof-the-year report to the county board Tuesday morning. He said one reason the juvenile cases may have increased this year is be- Eric Weis cause the age a suspect can be tried as a juvenile was increased under state law from 17 to 18.

“That’s added that group into those numbers which would have been felonies or misdemeanors in other cases in other years,” he said, adding, “We’ve also seen an increase in the number of cases that corresponds pretty well with the increase in the population.”

The Kendall County Child Advocacy Center (CAC) conducted 120 interviews, which resulted in multiple individuals being charged by the state’s attorney’s office with criminal offenses, according to the report.

Weis said this is the highest number of interviews of alleged child victims of physical

or sexual assault/abuse cases the center has conducted since it became a freestanding agency in 2007.

“This is by far the highest number, this is one of those numbers that – again I mention it every year – you don’t see it in your budget but you do see those numbers increase,” he said.

According to Weis’ report, his office handled 11,272 cases last year, a decrease of about 1,000 cases over 2014.

Weis pointed out that felony cases (404) have remained steady as have DUI cases (249) and misdemeanors (1,079). The state’s attorney’s office has been getting more truancy case referrals from the Regional Office of Education.

“Fortunately our abuse and neglect cases went down from the year before,” Weis said.

“Criminal cases have maintained pretty good numbers throughout the last few years but nothing significant one way or the other.”

The county did file a first-degree murder charge in 2015, which only gets counted as one case file, but Weis’ office has to put more time and effort into those charges.

The report also indicates that the Juvenile Justice Council hosted its first 5K SKY Run back in April, raising about $5,000 for local teen programs.

“On our civil side ... that has been very busy obviously with the startup of collective bargaining, which somewhat never seems to end,” Weis said.

Weis said his office negotiated five union contracts last year with as many entities and plans to add a sixth entity next year.

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com A long-range Kendall County highway project intended to improve traffic flow around the village of Oswego is getting some traction.

The County Board unanimously approved a preliminary engineering agreement Tuesday morning with the St. Charles-based firm of Wills Burke Kelsey Associates Ltd. to prepare first phase engineering designs for the extension of Collins Road from Grove Road west to Minkler/Orchard Road.

The price tag for the engineering work totals $761,321 and the money is to come from the county’s transportation sales tax fund.

Board member Dan Koukol, who lives on Collins Road, said while the county has the funds for phase one engineering, he’s not sure about the rest of the project.

“This is a project that has been on the burner for many years and

a lot of people in the Oswego area when they moved to the Oswego were promised this project and said it was going to be built by the time their driveway was put in at their house,” Koukol said.

Board member Scott Gryder pointed out that the county was able to free up funds for the engineering work because another highway project on Eldamain Road between Yorkville and Plano was paid for with dollars from a federal grant through the Kane-Kendall Council of Mayors.

Ridge Road and Holt Road intersection to be studied

In a related item Tuesday, the board also unanimously approved preliminary engineering with Hutchison Engineering Inc. for improvements to the Ridge Road and Holt Road intersection in Seward Township near the village of Minooka.

The price for the engineering was approved at $220,000 from the

Koukol said there have been “quite a few accidents” at the intersection recently and it is time to figure out how to improve it.

Fran Klaas, the county’s highway engineer, the county improved Ridge Road north of I-80 to Midpoint Road where a traffic signal is located.

“At the time there was some thought that those improvements would continue north and those would be paid for by development which was expected six to eight years ago, before the economy tanked,” Klaas said. “Since that time obviously nothing has happened and we’ve has a rash of crashes there at Ridge and Holt for various reasons. I’m not really sure why.”

He said they will look into installing a new drainage structure, adding turn lanes, and possibly putting in a traffic signal at Holt Road. The project would extend north of Midpoint road through the Holt Road intersection and then Ridge would transition back into a two-lane highway.

OUR VIEW

Time to look at streamlining government

As we’ve reported, a state task force organized last March

by Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner issued its recommendations earlier this month for streamlining local government across the state in an effort improve efficiency and save taxpayers money.

Among the recommendations contained in the task force’s 406page report is a provision that would allow Illinois residents to consolidate or dissolve local units of government, while another would allow all township governments to consolidate with local municipalities having the same boundaries. The consolidations would be implemented following the passage of local referendums.

Another recommendation calls for a change in state law that would remove an existing 126-square-mile cap on the size of townships. Removing the cap would allow for the consolidation of multiple townships into single townships larger than 126 square miles.

Kendall County is comprised of nine townships. Each of the nine township governments are responsible for overseeing a very narrow range of public services as specified under state law. Those services include: maintenance and snow plowing of roads in unincorporated areas, the assessment of properties for tax purposes and provide general assistance to the poor.

In the event township

governments were dissolved those services would have to be assumed by another entity, presumably either local municipalities or the county itself, or a combination of both. It would also require a transfer of costs for those services from the township governments to the entity or entities that would assume the responsibility of providing them. Dissolving or merging the townships would likely net some modest savings in reduced administrative costs, but given those agencies’ comparatively small budgets and the need to transfer the cost for services to the county or municipalities, any money saved would likely be but a blip on a residents’ annual property tax bills.

While we have our doubts about many of the recommendations contained in the task force’s 406 page report, we do believe it can serve as an excellent starting point for further study and discussions by officials at all levels of government in Kendall County.

We encourage county and officials with all other local taxing districts to download and review a copy of the report at Illinois. gov. Even better we believe the county should now organize its own task force comprised of representatives from all county taxing districts to jointly review the report with an eye towards seeing how all of their respective agencies can work more efficiently together.

This local task force could make its own recommendations to the county concerning the possible merger or consolidations of townships and other taxing districts.

For more than a decade Kendall County has ranked near the top of nationwide lists for high property taxes. While we have no illusions that merging or consolidating smaller units of government here will produce a significant savings for property taxpayers, we do believe officials at every taxing district in the county owe it to their constituents to re-examine how they provide their services and if any savings can be realized through working or even merging with other agencies.

Thanks, Northwest Ordinance! Signed, Illinois Who originally proposed this unique method of absorbing unsettled lands, and why it was so popular with the young nation’s politicians, is unclear, but I suspect if the issue were dusted for prints, Jefferson’s would be found all over it.

REFLECTIONS Roger Matile In the entire history of government, no newly-annexed territory’s citizens had ever been given the same rights and prerogatives as those living in the existing nation.

But in 1784, Thomas Jefferson proposed a law to do just that. Jefferson probably did not know he was preparing the groundwork for what would one day become the most powerful nation on Earth.

When the smoke had cleared after the American Revolution, the former colonists found they had acquired not only the 13 original colonies along the Atlantic coast, but had also won a vast, sparsely populated region stretching all the way to the little-known shores of the Mississippi River.

The question was what to do with it.

When the British crown granted original colonial charters, the extent of the continent was unclear. Many of those charters granted land running from the Atlantic coast all the way west to the only vaguely known Mississippi River, and several of those charters overlapped.

Land speculation in the region west of the Appalachians had accelerated immediately before and after the French and Indian War ended in North America in 1763.

With the various colonial governments and land speculators hoping to make a killing as the resident Native Americans were becoming more and more hostile to intruding white settlers, the British government issued the Proclamation of 1763 banning all settlement west of a line running along the summit of the Appalachian chain.

Further, in violation of all those old colonial charters, the British government also granted most of the land west of the Proclamation Line to Quebec, and ordered, in effect, Catholicism to become the official religion of the region. It was a laudable effort to win the hearts and minds of the newly conquered Canadians, but had the effect of enraging both the British colonial elites as well as the common folks hoping to push west to settle. The actions were, in fact, some of the major causes of the Revolution.

During the Revolution, Virginia dispatched Major George Rogers Clark west with a small militia army to seize the Illinois Country. In a truly remarkable campaign, he separated the sprawling

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

The Ordinance of 1787, more familiarly known as the Northwest Ordinance, set up an orderly and innovative process for the as yet unsettled territories north and west of the Ohio River to become full members of the union. region north and west of the Ohio River from Canada. After the Revolution, Virginia claimed most of what would, in a few years, be called the Northwest Territory, including Illinois. After Clark’s brilliant campaign, the distant area, declared a county of Virginia, was a continual thorn in the state’s side. It was simply too far away and too expensive for the war-weary and financially strapped state to supervise. Virginia gratefully ceded the land to the federal government in 1784, as did the other states with overlapping western claims.

Apparently, Congress always intended for the unsettled lands west of the Appalachian Mountains to be admitted to the rest of the states as equal partners. Who originally proposed this unique method of absorbing unsettled lands, and why it was so popular with the young nation’s politicians, is unclear, but I suspect if the issue were dusted for prints, Jefferson’s would be found all over it.

As noted above, in 1784 Jefferson proposed a detailed process for bringing new regions into the union on an equal footing with existing states. His proposed ordinance, however, was not accepted by

Congress, due to other, far more pressing matters that were on the table.

After the Revolution ended, Congress, under the Articles of Confederation, governed the nation. The Confederation, however, proved too weak to govern the large and growing nation. There was no central executive power, no national judiciary, and no way to force the several states – or even private individuals – to adhere to any sort of national governmental structure.

Therefore, a convention was called in 1787 to amend the Articles, but which ended up creating an entirely new constitution to form a more perfect union, an endeavor in which the Founders admirably succeeded.

But as weak as it was, the old Confederation Congress, as a kind of dying gasp in 1787, succeeded in passing one of history’s greatest pieces of legislation, one that incorporated many of Jefferson’s original ideas. The Ordinance of 1787, more familiarly known as the Northwest Ordinance, clarified Jefferson’s suggestions of 1784 and set up an orderly and innovative process for the as yet unsettled territories north and west of the Ohio River to become full members of the union.

This progressive piece of legislation

was heavily influenced by two men who had extensive land interests in the Northwest Territory. Today, we would term retired Revolutionary War General Rufus Putnam and the Rev. Manasseh Cutler developers, and public indignation would, ideally, prohibit them from influencing legislation in which they had a direct financial interest. Given the influence lobbyists have on everything the government does these days, however, Putnam and Cutler simply appear to have been ahead of their own time.

The two speculators, on behalf of the Ohio and Scioto Land Companies, proposed to buy 5 million acres in the Northwest Territory from the financially strapped Confederation – but there was a catch. The funds would not be forthcoming unless the area had a viable government.

So, as it often does, financial need spurred the Congress to action.

The Northwest Ordinance, as passed, had three important sections: 1) The area north of the Ohio would initially be divided into not less then three nor more than five territories (in 1784, Jefferson had proposed 10). 2) Each territory would go through three stages. First it would be ruled by an appointed governor; when the male population reached 5,000 a legislature would be elected and a representative sent to Congress; when population reached 60,000, the territory could be admitted as a state. 3) A bill of rights protecting freedom of speech, religion, and other basic liberties and prohibiting slavery was also included.

Five states were eventually formed from the old Northwest Territory – Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Indiana. It is generally concluded that the ordinance was the crowning achievement of the government under the Articles of Confederation, and is considered by many historians to be of equal importance with the Articles themselves.

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 Protecting own self interests?

To the Editor: The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

It seems to me that in 2016, to prevent certain elements of the society of the United States from obtaining guns and thus protect all people of our country, should be a no-brainer. So as to protect the people of the United States by discouraging such societal elements from gun ownership, should be the inalienable right of the President of the United States. This right should be especially so when our elected Congress fails to enact laws which afford to protect the citizens of the United States.

How can we call the United States of America a civilized society when hundreds of innocent people die from gun attacks? Are the NRA, the manufacturers of the guns, and those who sell weapons of mass destruction really interested in protecting human life? Or are they only interested in protecting human life? Or are the only interested in protecting their own self interests?

How can the NRA and any political candidate deny that the people, all of the people, of our free state deserve to be secure, to be protected? Or, do those certain political candidates, with the aid of the NRA, seek to establish an oligarchy? And, if that is their desire, then who will be the free people? And, what rights will the people have?

Marvels at Dr. King’s words

To the Editor: This week we observed Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, giving a day off to many who might not know why. It’s a worthwhile activity to study both his “I Have a Dream” speech and his “Letter from Birmingham Jail.”

Many do not understand that Dr. King’s nonviolent protests had Judeo-Christian roots.

Three months before his “I Have a Dream” speech, he was jailed in Birmingham, Alabama, during a nonviolent protest. His handwritten “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” is incredibly enlightening. Right near the beginning of his letter, he said he viewed himself as “compelled to carry the gospel of freedom.”

In our current times, with a despot for a president and a Congress that is nodding off, there are so many examples of people’s freedoms being trampled. Dr. King knew the dangers of keeping silent, and we should heed his words.

In his letter he states, “We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” As we experience more oppression of people holding views contrary to current government edict, we must remember his words.

When we wonder about the laws coming down from a Supreme Court that has absolutely no authority to make law, we wonder how to react to laws that are unjust. Dr. King has something to say in his letter about that as well by quoting St. Augustine, “An unjust law is no law at all.”

Dr. King further defined the difference between just and unjust laws with this: “A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law, or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law.” He goes on to state, “An unjust law is a code that a majority inflicts on a minority that is not binding on itself. This is difference made legal. On the other hand, a just law is a code that a majority compels a minority to follow, and that is willing to follow itself. This is sameness made legal.” Think about that.

When speaking about civil disobedience, he pointed to the refusal of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego to obey King Nebuchadnezzar’s law because a higher moral law existed. But likely the most contemporary example of this

comes from Dr. King’s reference to Hitler. His letter states, “We can never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was ‘legal’ and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was ‘illegal.’ It was ‘illegal’ to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler’s Germany.” He goes on to say that if he lived where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, “I believe I would openly advocate disobeying these anti-religious laws.”

It is not my intent to diminish his work regarding black oppression. But I marvel at his prophetic words of warning to all who feel the sting of oppression in all its forms right now.

He would raise his voice with boldness.

Moral compass lost

To the Editor: I’m perplexed by the faded reverence for Martin Luther King’s Birthday. I hold the holiday in humble admiration not because of the achievement of creating a holiday based on race or skin color but by the struggle, perseverance and achievement by which all Americans should learn from.

Fredrick Douglass once wrote, “Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and phys-

Your Oswego, Montgomery area state representatives…

they have emboldened the Internal Revenue Service with firearms and the power to seize assets, garnish wages and the power to arrest at gunpoint/will. Hillary Clinton is making a presidential run while refusing to answer questions regarding Benghazi and while former IRS Director Lois Lerner continues to collect a six-figure salary after also refusing to answer questions regarding IRS improprieties, yet during this time Edward Snowden remains in self-exile and hiding for informing the general public how the government is spying on them.

Lincoln once said “…if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” Our youth, our people and our nation need more lunch boxes, tackle boxes, tool boxes and less Xboxes, and we need to remember that sweat, stench and stains upon our labors bring credit rather than disgrace.

ical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand.” The move to make Ledger-Sentinel Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday was 32 years in the making before being enacted into law by President Ronald Reagan.

In his “I have a dream” speech, King said, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Nowhere in King’s speech are reparations or entitlements mentioned that divisive politicians or special interests use to divide and conquer our nation, our people and the voters.

I would remind these charlatans of the 1925 words delivered in a West Abbey sermon by Frederick Lewis Donaldson in which he said “The Seven Social Sins are: Wealth without work. Pleasure without conscience. Knowledge without character. Commerce without morality. Science without humanity. Worship without sacrifice. Politics without principle.” I do not believe for one minute that socialism, social justice and social equality without labor and sacrifice are what Douglass and King had in mind and certainly not why Reagan held King in such high esteem.

Our nation has lost its moral compass. We are enraged when there is collateral damage after a military strike, when an infamous lion is killed and beheaded by some dentist or a lizard is endangered by oil dwellers yet we continue to kill unborn babies in abortion clinics.

Worry about budget instead

To the Editor: An article in the morning paper reported that increasing the age to buy cigarettes for minors to 21 will help prevent kids from smoking. Really? The legislators who propose this law must have skipped their teenage years and moved from preteen to adulthood.

Growing up in the ‘60s I had many friends who could acquire cigarettes, beer or any other taboo adults felt should be beyond our reach.

Now I am not promoting the use of cigarettes by teenagers. I am just trying to point out that kids are industrious. If a kid is determined to try smoking it is going to happen. Their parents should be involved in their education regarding any issue that parents perceive and know can be harmful and/or dangerous to their children.

Legislators should worry about no budget agreement in Springfield rather than parenting.

Shifting to SAT test is best Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your questions at askdrwendt@ sd308.org. I hope my responses provide answers as School District 308 continues to develop plans to improve academic achievement.

We recently learned the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) approved the SAT to replace the ACT. Some school districts have chosen to remain another year with the ACT. What is School District 308 planning to do?

Beginning last spring, the ISBE accepted proposals for a college entrance exam to be administered to all eleventh-graders since the contract for the ACT was expiring. This past December, the ISBE approved the state-funded college entrance exam to be the College Board’s SAT. School District 308 reviewed several resources, including surveys of other school districts and feedback from our own high school and district administrators. We considered many factors and determined it would be in the best interest of our students to immediately shift to the SAT. The primary reason for our decision focused on the SAT’s alignment to the new Illinois State Common Core Standards. Because of our district’s curriculum alignment commitment to the Illinois Common Core Standards, students taking a college entrance exam that aligns with the

ASK DR. WENDT Dr. Matthew Wendt actual curriculum approved by our Board of Education and the ISBE made the most sense.

Currently, most institutions of higher learning accept both the ACT and SAT as application for admission.

Because the SAT is aligned to Common Core Standards, it is anticipated that our students will earn a higher score and gain a competitive edge on acceptance to the college or university of their choice. In addition, a higher score could potentially allow our students to earn more scholarships.

Time utilized preparing students for the ACT will not be a loss. Test preparation for the ACT provides students with a better idea of time limitations, types of questions, and how students should respond to questions to obtain the best possible score. Studied content, in addition to the above noted areas, should reflect well on any entrance exam. In the future, SAT test preparation activities will be made available for our students.

The cost of taking the ACT is higher than the SAT. Because of the uncertain Illinois state budget, we recognized that exam expenses could impact our local budget.

We believe the decision made by the ISBE is a good

decision that is in the best interest of Illinois students.

By shifting to a college entrance exam that is both widely accepted and aligned with approved standards, we are providing our students a better opportunity to obtain a better score.

It is important that all of our eleventh-graders have the ability to take a college entrance exam during the school day. Our mission is to prepare students to be college and career ready. Therefore, taking a college entrance exam as part of their high school experience seems to be a good decision.

School District 308 is planning to administer the SAT to all eleventh-grade students during a school day in April.

More information, including a letter to high school parents, will be completed within the next two weeks. Starting next week, additional SAT information for parents and students will be available on the district’s website.

As Illinois and SD 308 completes this change, thank you for your patience and support.

Please contact your child’s school if you have questions.

• If you have questions, please email Dr. Wendt at AskDrWendt@sd308.org, or via the Community Unit School District 308 website, at www. sd308.org. Citizens may also drop their question off at the Board of Education/District Administration Center.

Kindness Challenge to kick off LEDGER–SENTINEL The Character Counts Coalition of School District 308 encourages students, teachers, administration, community members, and businesses to come together and participate in the Great Kindness Challenge from Jan. 25 to Jan. 29.

The Great Kindness Challenge is a positive, proactive anti-bullying initiative, reaching millions of students during the last full week of January every year.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for us to support character-building initiatives within our school district and community,” said Alexa Backus, center director of Huntington Learning Center and vice president of Character Counts Coalition of School District 308.

“We are asking students and businesses to challenge one another by completing as many random acts of kindness as possible during

the week of Jan. 25-29. We encourage participants to share their acts of kindness by using #308KindnessChallenge via social media,” Backus said.

Students will have access to these challenges within their classrooms. Area businesses can also receive copies of work-related random acts of kindness challenges through Oswego’s Chamber of Commerce, the Community Relations Department with the village of Oswego, or at Huntington Learning Center in Oswego.

The Great Kindness Challenge was created by Kids for Peace to provide schools a tool for creating a positive school environment. In 2015, 2,188,669 students participated and performed over 100 million acts of kindness nationwide.

Home decor shop ‘just fell into place’ Boutique opened in November in downtown Oswego

The Oswego Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon-cutting for Kimberly Ann Home Decorating Boutique at 67 S. Main St. in downtown Oswego on Jan. 13.

The store, owned

by Kimberly Schulz, offers new, vintage and consignment home décor.

By JOHN ETHEREDGE jetheredge@shawmedia.com Kimberly Schulz said her interest in home decorating began when she was a teenager growing up in Boulder Hill.

Over the years, Schulz, a 1981 Oswego High School graduate, said she often thought of opening her own home décor store.

“I always wanted to do it, but it was never the right time,” she said, “But now my kids are raised and it all just fell into place.”

With help from her sister, Connie Dilling, Schulz opened the Kimberly Ann Home Decorating and Consignment Boutique on Nov. 23 in an historic building at 67 Main Street in downtown Oswego.

Representatives of the Oswego Chamber of Commerce, along with Village President Gail Johnson, were among those in attendance when a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at the new shop Jan. 13.

Visitors to the store will find a warm, quaint boutique with a mixture of new and vintage home décor items along with merchandise offered for purchase on consignment.

Shoppers can view merchandise on the shop’s main floor and on a lower level.

When some renovations are complete next month, Schulz said she plans to offer a variety of infor-

mational classes in home decorating, chalk painting, color scheme selections and other topics of interest to the home decorator.

Schulz, who also works as a real estate agent, studied interior design at College of DuPage, worked professionally for Trans Designs and then began accepting her own consulting appointments. She started out by doing wallpapering and stenciling.

Sipping a warm cup of coffee at the shop on a cold morning earlier this week, Schultz said she expects the business will evolve and change, but will retain what she described as the “little shop feel.”

“I could have gone out and gone all commercial to start this, but I want to keep this simple and fun,” she said. “I get so tickled now when people visit and say of the store, ‘This is so cute.’”

The historic mid-19th century character of the building adds to the shop’s quaint ambiance. A fully restored decorative tin ceiling overlooks merchandise on the

store’s first level, while beams of sunlight shine through an original stained-glass window located high on the building’s north wall.

“This building is very special,” Schulz said. “There is something about it I really love.”

Schulz said she also believes the shop’s location on Main Street is a good fit with other nearby downtown shops like Re-Joyce Design & Consign and The Marmalade Tree.

“If you come to Oswego to look for a tiny, special antique [at another shop], I may have furniture to go with it,” she said, adding, “When people ask for something that we don’t have we tell them to try [one of the other shops] down the street. That’s what makes it all work.”

As for her own philosophy as a merchant, Schulz stressed that she believes home decorating should be affordable and for everyone.

“I don’t like a price-point that is really high,” she said, adding, “I would say my highest price [for an item] would be around $400. I don’t

KENDALL COUNTY SHERIFF’S REPORTS • Continued from page 8 alcohol by a person under 21 in connection with an incident at about 1:50 a.m. Jan. 16 in the 2600 block of Route 52 in Seward Township, sheriff’s police said.

traffic stop at about 1:40 a.m., Jan. 16 at Route 31 and Mill Road in Oswego, sheriff’s police said.

Guzman also was charged with speeding.

Warrant arrest Joshua A. Perkins, 35, of the 0-99 block of Springdale Road, Boulder Hill, was found to be wanted on a warrant at about 1:25 p.m. Jan. 17 in Oswego on a charge of possession of an explosive and distribution of harmful material to a minor at his residence, sheriff’s police said.

want a $1,000 piece here.”

Schulz noted the impetus for the store began a few years ago when she and a friend began selling vintage items from a barn on her property in rural Oswego.

Initially, Schulz said the business – known as the Little Sister Pickers – sold items from her grandmother’s estate, while her friend offered items from her mother’s estate. Soon, she said, they were traveling to auctions and garage sales for more items and offering sales on consignment.

Then, early last year, Schulz said she bought out her partner’s interest in the business. Schulz then started working on the business with her sister, Dilling.

“My sister kept saying we need a destination that people can find.

We were in a pole building on Cherry Road [in rural Oswego].

So she was really the one that got the ball rolling [to open the shop],” Schulz said.

The Oswego-Oswego East boys’ swimming and diving team is a little more than halfway through the 2015-16 season. After Plainfield co-op defeated the squad at home, 100-83, in an Independent Conference outing in Oswego on Tuesday, the team is now 3-3 overall in dual action.

“We felt good about our plan going in,” Oswego head coach Deryl Leubner said. “We knew where they were strong, we knew what we could do to score more points, but we just didn’t execute. I thought we could surprise them. I thought there were a couple of events we had won, but they took it from us. Those are big point swings. We had a shot.”

Oswego placed first in four events. James Kaku did it in two individual

and the 200-yard free relay team of James Kaku, Guist, Urso and Latzke (1:30.63).

“We have a young group, and this is kind of a cool rivalry,” Plainfield head coach George Sam said after winning first place in eight events. “[Oswego] owned us for eight years, and we got the last three in a row now, so it’s fun. It was a really competitive meet.

A lot of our boys are friends with their boys.”

Prior to Plainfield, the squad topped Riverside-Brookfield in a dual on Jan. 12, Padlo finished in the top 12 at Hinsdale Central’s Diving Invite on Jan. 16 and on the same day, the team placed sixth of 12 at Riverside-Brookfield’s Invite without James Kaku.

4 local bowlers head to sectional Panthers take 5th at regional, Wolves finish 8th

By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com The Oswego and Oswego East boys’ bowling teams were not able to advance out of the Plainfield South Regional as whole units last Saturday, but both squads were happy to see two individuals from each team move on to the Sandburg Sectional.

Oswego, which placed fifth as a team, will be represented by senior Eddie Mendez (1,267 series) and Joey Preston (1,242) while Oswego East (eighth place) moves on with junior Sean Benson (1,233) and freshman Will Clark (1,213). The top 10 individuals without their qualifying team are able to advance.

“I’m excited for Eddie and Joey,” Oswego head coach TJ Arnold said. “I have the opportunity and pleasure of trying to help them make it to state individually.”

“Both [Benson and Clark] shot well,” Oswego East head coach Frank Johnsen added. “We have high hopes with Will, and Sean has been coming on strong lately. I hope we get them both to state.”

The Panthers finished with a 6,017 series. The top four advanced as a team with Plainfield North winning the title with a 6,599 series.

Oswego was also led by Nick Jackson (1,184 series), Phil Schmidt (1,162), Nick Ramos (1,162).

“We knew going in that it was the toughest regional in the state,” Arnold said. “Finishing fifth isn’t what’s hard to swallow – it’s the fact that we were in first after three games. The guys put too much pressure on themselves. It’s definitely a difficult way to end the season as a team.”

The Wolves rolled a 5,843 and saw contributions from sophomore Troy Sliwa (1,178), junior Travis Sturk (944 – in five games) and senior Triston Spangler (928 – in five games).

“We struggled a bit and were sloppy with our spare shooting,” Johnsen said.

“We paid the price. If you are not on your game 100 percent, it is tough to keep up.

“We were in sixth place after five games, and I knew we weren’t going to move on as a team, so I made sure the seniors got their chance to compete at the end. That meant more to me than anything else.”

BOYS BASKETBALL

Game gets away from Panthers in 2nd

By ROB OESTERLE

Oswego’s Steven Frank drives to the basket for a layup in front of Joliet West’s (14) Teyvion Kirk. The Panthers lost, 6155, in the game on Monday.

roesterle@shawmedia.com With 3:07 remaining in the first quarter Friday night, Minooka boys’ basketball standout Joe Butler picked up his second foul and went to the bench. He didn’t return until the second half began, sitting more than 11 of the 16 minutes in the first half.

For most teams, losing your top player for most of the first half would be a certain recipe for disaster. For this year’s edition of the Indians, though, it was just a chance for someone else to step to the forefront in their 65-50 win over Oswego. This time, that someone was Larry Roberts.

Roberts, a senior guard, took over in the second quarter, scoring eight of his 12 points and delivering three assists as Minooka (13-5, 6-1) scored the first 10 points of the second quarter and turned a 12-10 deficit into a 20-12 lead. They ended the first half with a 26-17 edge and kept the charge going in the second half en route to a victory that propelled Minooka into first place in the Southwest Prairie Conference standings.

Oswego (12-5, 5-2 SPC) used its size advantage to open the second quarter, as center Brice Robinson scored seven straight points to cut the Minooka lead to 26-24. Jonny Butler, who led all scorers with 19 points, then drained a three-pointer for the Indians and scored on a

Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media

short jumper to make it 31-27. Oswego got two three-pointers from Conor Morton (11 points) to keep it close, the second one making it 3936 with 1:06 to play in the third. Joe Butler then scored underneath for Minooka before Jonny Butler connected from nearly 30 feet at the buzzer to hand the Indians a 44-36 lead entering the fourth.

The fourth quarter belonged to Joe Butler as he went 5 of 6 from the floor to keep any thoughts of an Oswego comeback at bay and finished with 16 points.

“We played very good basketball as a team,” Minooka coach Scott Tanaka said. “When you have Joe Butler, who I think is the best player in the conference, sit on the bench basically the entire first half and still lead by nine at halftime, that says a lot about your team.”

Oswego was playing without injured senior guard Malique Ross and was forced into 18 turnovers.

“It’s point guard by committee right now and we turned it over way too much in the second quar-

ter,” Oswego coach Matt Borrowman said. “We lit a fire under our post guys at halftime and they came out strong, but their post defenders did a nice job after that. We also didn’t finish the third quarter very strong and that hurt us.

“But these kids will bounce back and we’ll be all right. We going to have to, because it doesn’t get any easier.”

Oswego returned to action Monday against Joliet West at Joliet Central’s MLK Day of Hoops and lost its third straight game, falling 61-55. Robinson led with 25 points while Steven Frank and Jacob Niesman scored 10 each.

The Tigers outscored Oswego, 16-9, to take the 31-21 halftime lead.

Oswego committed eight of its 16 first-half turnovers in that quarter as West’s pressure defense took a toll.

The Tigers were up, 44-35, after three quarters, before Tabyous Casterberry hit five straight inside shots in the fourth quarter.

Oswego got as close as 53-50 with 2:50 left, but a Casterberry dunk and his layup off an assist from Teyvion Kirk helped put it away.

“I know Oswego was missing some of their leading scorers,” West coach Nick DiForti said, “but they still play very well. I have a lot of respect for their program from the days when I was at Plainfield North. It will be interesting to see how we match up with them in the sectional.”

GIRLS BOWLING

East finishes 2nd at Morris Invite

By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com The Oswego East girls’ bowling team finished in second place at Morris’ Butterfield Invite at Echo Lanes on Saturday, but the Wolves were not close to being disappointed to finish just 40 pins out of first place.

West Aurora won the 14-team event with a 6,210 series and the Wolves ended with a 6,170 series.

“We are very happy with Morris,” Oswego East head coach Jeremy Hillman said. “We wanted to give Ashley Smith experience at the varsity level, and she did outstanding.

That gives us a good feeling going forward. It was a great day for all of us.”

Oswego took sixth place with a 5,506 series. Both the Panthers and Wolves will be at Echo Lanes again, returning on Jan. 30 for the Southwest Prairie Conference tournament.

“It always helps to get some real competition experience at a house that we will see again later in the season for an important, ‘everything’s on the line’ tournament,” Oswego head coach Dan Okoren said. “We are still working toward having those complete tournaments where we stay consistent for six games.”

Oswego East saw three

finish in the top nine.

Abby Ragsdale won with a 1,477 series, Sam Perez was fourth with a 1,329, Kiana Krahulik was ninth with a 1,262, Mallory Weisbrodt ended with an 1,108 while Smith rolled a 994.

“Three in the top nine – that’s what we need,” Hillman said. “Hopefully, we’ll keep going in that direction. It was a positive tournament – everyone did their job and we were right near the top. The plan was to get Ashley experience, and that went well.”

Brittany Breedlove led Oswego in 18th place (1,218), followed by Haley Douglas (1,107), Haley Staniszewski (1,078), Alyssa Lang (1,061) and Rachel Clifton (1,042).

Both Oswego and Oswego East will see each other again at Minooka’s Invite on Saturday.

Oswego East notes: In dual action, West Aurora defeated the Wolves, 3,1582,985, on Jan. 13. Ragsdale led with a 686 series. Oswego East (7-3 overall, 4-1 in SPC) then turned around last Thursday and beat Plainfield East, 2,945-2,486.

Ragsdale posted a 611.

Oswego notes: The Panthers (5-2 overall, 4-1 SPC) dropped duals to Waubonsie Valley (3,011-2,911 on Jan. 13) and Minooka (2,853-2,764 last Thursday).

Breedlove led both times with a 647 and 608, respectively.

Early 3s help lead to win

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com One simple offensive adjustment helped the Oswego East girls’ basketball team create another dangerous weapon on the floor in Saturday’s 26th annual Subway Classic at Willowbrook.

The Wolves sank four three-pointers in the opening quarter against Class 3A’s No. 12-ranked St. Thomas More (Champaign) to develop a double-digit lead on the Sabers en route to a 63-32 victory. Oswego East, now on a seven-game win streak, improves to 18-2 overall with six games remaining in the regular season.

“After playing [Friday] night, we made some adjustments in our game with some of the offensive stuff we’re doing. It’s just helping us keep the ball out of the middle and keeps it on the perimeter a little longer,” Oswego East coach Abe Carretto said.

The catalyst in Oswego East’s strong outside game has been senior guard Maya Dennis, who has recorded 15 points or more in three of the last five games.

Dennis (15 points) hit two behind the arc in the opening quarter for an early 12-8 lead before Milan Smith and Jesinde Thomas followed with long-distance field goals of their own to help Oswego East to a 20-11 advantage through one quarter of play.

“Before the season even started, we were trying to find that player that can hurt people from the outside, and it took a little bit of time to figure out rotation and to get that other person offensively. We tried to work with three posts – which we can do again, but now we know Maya is out there shooting well. That’s what we’ve been wanting Maya to do and be that person who can

St. Thomas More was playing without Ohio State-bound Tori McCoy, who is expected to miss the month of January after spraining her ankle in a Dec. 30 tournament game. Younger sister Maddie McCoy knocked down the Sabers’ first two baskets of the second quarter for a 24-15 score, but that’s as close as

they would get to the Wolves on the scoreboard.

Dennis knocked down another three-pointer and Jada Boatright came off the bench to produce a steal, which eventually led to a Schultz putback. Battle scored the final six points of the half to go into intermission with 14 points as Oswego East led 35-15.

“Having Syd and Ty down there is great because they’re

bigs and they love to run the floor, so it’s really great to have that option there,” Dennis said.

“Lately, I’ve just been feeling really good about my shot.”

Oswego East surged ahead 4716 behind a jumper from senior Alexis Davis in the third quarter, and St. Thomas More took a timeout in the fourth quarter to try and regroup, trailing 56-25.

BOYS BASKETBALL: PLAINFIELD NORTH 69, OSWEGO EAST 56

Defensive letdown sinks Wolves

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com Free-throw shooting helped Plainfield North close out a win earlier in the week against Oswego, and again the foul line proved to be the difference as the Tigers won their second straight Friday night at Oswego East.

Plainfield North knocked down 27 of 32 free throws to turn a late five-point lead into a 69-56 victory over the Wolves. The Tigers (10-7, 5-2) thus remain one game behind Minooka (6-1).

Oswego East, which had been tied for second coming into Friday’s game, moves into fourth place with a 8-9 record and 4-3 mark in the league behind Minooka (6-1), Plainfield North and Oswego (5-2).

“It’s a little frustrating because we were right there and coming off a great game on Tuesday,” Oswego East head coach Steve Szymanski said. “We’re going to see everyone again in this league. We’re in every game.”

With the game tied at 12 after one quarter, Plainfield North held Oswego East (7-9, 4-3) to nine points in the second quarter to build a 32-21 lead at halftime.

Plainfield North senior Kevin Krieger had 22 points before heading into the locker room despite spending several minutes on

the bench in early foul trouble during the second quarter.

Plainfield North went on a 7-0 run after halftime highlighted by a three-pointer from sophomore Brady Miller to give the Tigers a 41-27 lead, which prompted an Oswego East timeout. The Wolves came out of the break with new life, scoring 10 of the next 12 points to cut Plainfield North’s lead to six when Krieger hit a triple at the buzzer for a 46-37 score.

Oswego East’s Stephon Harris scored 10 of his game-high 24 points in the fourth quarter as the Wolves continued to claw back into the game, and Harris’ three-pointer created a 55-50 game with 3:48 to play. After another Plainfield North free throw, Krieger drove into the lane and sealed off the next play with an impressive dunk to keep momentum on the Tigers’ side of the court.

Plainfield North continued to sink shots at the free-throw line, and Krieger went 16for-17 on his way to a game-high 36 points.

“The free throws was a huge discrepancy, Krahulik said. “That’s the game right there.

We won by 13, and outscored them by 14 at the free-throw line. I’m very proud of that because we haven’t been shooting free throws well.”

Oswego East’s Maurice Beecham goes up for a shot over Plainfield North’s Henry Thompson during Friday’s Southwest Prairie Conference game at Oswego East.

Based on recent history, DeKalb’s annual Martin Luther King Tournament has not been kind to the Oswego girls’ basketball program.

The Panthers dropped three straight to start the bracket, but snapped an eightgame skid on Monday with a 42-38 victory over Woodstock.

Oswego is now 2-20 on the season as Southwest Prairie Conference play resumes Friday against Plainfield South.

“Funny thing is last year we had a team that went 2210 and we played every game in [the field house]. We didn’t play any games in the main gym,” Oswego head coach Dave Beebe said. “There’s good competition, and this is a great tournament. We lost to some really tough teams on Saturday. I felt if we could survive the fourth quarter today, we could get a win.”

Woodstock’s Brecken Overly (17 points) kept the Blue Streaks on pace with Oswego thanks to three three-pointers in the first half, which tied the game at 17 points with 4:32 to play before the break. Oswego’s Zylyn Jenkins came off the bench and hit one from beyond the arc to spark the Panthers for a 31-23 halftime lead.

Both teams struggled to put anything together in the third quarter, with Oswego’s Gemma Keegan scoring the only basket of the period while Woodstock scored five to close the gap, 33-28.

Kia Dwight (17 points) hit a three-pointer to create a 38-31 score, but turnovers plagued Oswego and allowed Woodstock to pull within two, 40-38, with 1:02 remaining. The Blue Streaks were not able to convert on three late turnovers by the Panthers and fouled Dwight, who made both at the free-throw line.

“I’m really excited that we won. I felt like we really needed that to boost our confidence,” Dwight said.

“The effort was there, and that’s all I could ask,” Beebe said. “We had some silly turnovers at the end, but I’d rather have it and win, and at least we can learn from it.

We needed a win, and it’s nice to come out of here with a W. Everybody is happy.”

Oswego opened the tournament against top-seeded Rockford Lutheran, 59-35.

Keegan scored a team-high 13 points. The Panthers played a second game Saturday and lost 37-50 to Glenbard East.

Dwight scored 15 and Gillian O’Neil chipped in with seven.

On Monday morning, Oswego lost 53-41 to Belvidere North. Dwight scored 14 points while Kacie Moran added nine.

Running to get in shape in 2016?

State champion Yorkville cross country coach offers tips and training advice

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com Cheeseburgers and stress.

Those are just two reasons Chris Muth hits the trail for a run most mornings.

Muth, who has coached the Yorkville High School girls and boys cross country teams to seven state championships since 2011, is also a lifelong runner who runs many of the area races and half marathons.

Cut from his high school baseball team his freshman year, Muth joined the track team and from there he found cross country. He has been running ever since.

“From my experience running is a de-stresser. If I’m really stressed out or I’m cranky this is something that I can do to prevent giving those feelings off to my family when I get home,” Muth said.

With many people now trying to get into shape for the new year, Muth offered some tips and training techniques for running and how to stay motivated.

“Being able to run the whole thing [a 5K] is the biggest deal and when you get more advanced there are a lot more training tips I could give, but the first one – just get through it.”

Chris Muth Yorkville High School cross country coach

One way Muth suggests to help runners stay on course is to offer themselves a reward if they go for a run. In his case Muth uses food.

“If I run today maybe I can have a Wendy’s Junior Bacon Cheeseburger – that’s just me,” he said. “I feel better about myself when I know I’ve got my run in for the day. I joke with the kids at school because they run for times and I run to eat. It allows me to enjoy the other pleasures.”

Muth added that building individual

self-esteem is one of the many benefits of running. Runners, he said, feel better as they extend their mileage and their times improve.

“You can see it in the results of your body changing and you become a more healthier person. Maybe you start to become more active with your kids or in the community,” he said.

For new runners, Muth recommends signing up for a 5K run well in advance and then training for it.

Muth said it’s all about finishing that first race and from there running can become an addiction.

“If it’s your first 5K, you just have to survive it,” he said. “Being able to run the whole thing is the biggest deal and when you get more advanced there are a lot more training tips I could give, but the first one – just get through it.”

Starting small and having reachable goals is also important for first-time runners, Muth says.

“You have to start out within reason.

You can’t just go,” he said. “It’s unhealthy to start off with running seven days a week. You should really only move up about 10 percent of your mileage every week.”

Consistency is also key.

“The biggest thing about running is

Number of runs in county has jumped over the years

By JOHN ETHEREDGE

tion, visit tigerroar5k.weebly.com.

What makes it unique? A chance to support and run with a lot of high energy junior high school students and teachers.

jetheredge@shawmedia.com

If you are out early on a Saturday or Sunday morning and discover police have temporarily closed a nearby street to traffic, there’s a good chance the closure may be due to a run.

In 2014 a record 18.75 million Americans finished a road race, according to Running USA, a trade group. Among those 18 million-plus people were a few thousand runners who crossed finish lines here in Kendall County.

As the county’s population and running’s popularity have grown over the past two decades, so has the number of local runs.

Back in the 1980s, the Oswegoland Park District’s PrairieFest 5K and Gobbler Hobbler 10K and the Fox Valley YMCA’s Summer Scamper at Silver Springs State Park were among the very few organized runs offered in the county. But now local runners have their pick of runs from April through December.

Here’s a month-by-month listing of many of the local runs:

APRIL

Einstein Family 5K Run/Walk: Sunday, April 17, Oswego East High School, 1525 Harvey Road, Oswego. The run will benefit the Oswego Foundation for Educational Excellence, a nonprofit that has given out more $500,000 in grants to fund educational initiatives in District 308 since 1995. For more information, email race director Danielle Paul at danielle_paul_ ofee@yahoo.com.

What makes it unique? Race organizers are inviting School District 308 employees to enter as teams. Which of the employee teams will run the fastest?

Celebrate Differences’ Brighter Future 5K: Sunday, April 24, Oswego. This 5K starts

MAY

Running of the Wolves 5K: Sunday, May 1, Aurora. This popular annual run starts and ends at School District 308’s The Wheatlands Elementary School at 2290 Barrington Drive West. The run, which attracts hundreds of participants each year, is a fundraiser intended to help foster a strong relationship between the community, parents, students and school staff while also promoting healthy lifestyle choices.

Proceeds from the Running of the Wolves are used to help purchase supplies and equipment for the school. For more information, visit SD308.org.

What makes it unique? The run is a celebration of the strong bond between The Wheatlands and the community it serves.

Participants charge from the starting line in the Oswegoland Park District’s annual Gobbler Hobbler 10K race in November 2015. and ends on Franklin Street in front of the Oswego 308 Center (former Traughber Junior High School). The course winds through the neighborhood just south of downtown and includes some “late” hills on mile three. Proceeds from the race go to support Celebrate Differences, an organization that works to support the families of children with disabilities. For more information, visit celebratedifferences.org.

What makes it unique? The weather may be cold, but runners get a very warm feeling knowing they are helping Celebrate Differences help local families who need the support.

Saw Wee Kee Spring Trail Run: Saturday,

April 16, Saw Wee Kee Park in Oswego. The Oswegoland Park District sponsors this four-mile run through the woods in the hilly and wooded park south of Oswego off Reservation Road.

What makes it unique? Besides the beautiful course, the race has a 4 p.m. start, making it hard to oversleep.

Tiger Roar 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run: Saturday, April 23, Thompson Junior High School, 440 Boulder Hill Pass, Oswego. The race starts and ends at Thompson Junior High School. School officials launched “The Roar” a few years ago to promote healthy lifestyles. For more informa-

PeppeRUNi 5K Run & Walk: Saturday, May 7, Yorkville. The Yorkville Parks and Recreation Department sponsors this run, which starts and ends at the Rosati’s Pizza & Pub at 1985 Marketview Drive (Ill. Route 47) on the city’s north side. The registration fee includes a T-shirt and free slice of pizza. Bonus: the top male and female runners will win Rosati’s pizza for a year.

Proceeds from the race will go to Push for the Path, a not-for-profit community organization seeking to raise funds to build a 2.72-mile multiuse path along Kennedy Road from Route 47 to Mill Road. The path would provide a link for Yorkville runners, cyclists and walkers to access the existing trail system in Oswego and the rest of the Fox River valley.

When he goes away on vacation, Muth says he packs his running shoes and finds a place to run.

“It’s sometimes a way to get away and be peaceful and see the beauty of Mother Nature,” he said.

It is tougher to run in an elevated area like Denver. Muth said when he runs five miles at home his heart rate is at about 145 or 150 beats per minute, but when he runs at the same pace in Denver his heart rate is at 185-190.

Muth plans on running in the Summer Solstice four-miler in June in Yorkville. The second annual race is presented in conjunction with the summer music festival. The race is run in the evening on Van Emmon Road

from Yorkville’s downtown.

“It’s a nice, slightly hilly course,” he said. “It’s held just as the sun is going down at a nice time of day.”

The best time of year to run for Muth is the autumn.

“You start getting in shape in the springtime and then train through the heat in the summer and in the fall is when you start getting into great shape and the weather is starting to co-operate with you so you don’t overheat and you’re real comfortable,” he said. “It’s just a great time of year, it’s my favorite time of the year because of that.”

Sunday School to donate animals Goal is to give $1,560 to Heifer International SHAW MEDIA The Sunday School children at United Methodist Church in Plano are collecting donations for their mission project.

They are raising funds to purchase “Knitter’s Baskets” consisting of two llamas, two alpacas, two sheep, and two angora rabbits plus two “Gifts of Clean Water” through Heifer Inter-

national.

These gifts are to be given to families who do not get to enjoy the very basic items in life.

Donations are being accepted through Feb. 14. The goal is $1,560 with an added incentive from Pastor Kent to cuddle with one of these animals.

These animals bring prosperity and self-reliance to families with a steady source of a small income, soft wool, rich sweet milk, and fertilizer for improving soil.

This small source of income provides much-needed medicine, food,

and schooling.

Clean water is something we all take for granted.

These gifts of clean water will provide irrigation pumps, filters, and processing for cleaner and healthier water.

The community is invited to the worship service on Feb. 14 at 10:30 a.m., to witness Pastor Kent cuddle with one of these animals as the children make their goal of $1,560.

Anyone wishing to donate to this project may contact Linda at 630-5523828 or the United Methodist Church office at 630-552-3700.

Training the home orchard Just what do fruit tree experts mean when they say “you need train your fruit tree?” Home orchardists need to train their trees for structure to encourage fruit production and to have a productive, high-yielding home orchard.

Proper training also gives you a tree that can hold the fruit load without needing any additional support. The scaffold branches need to be positioned to allow good sunlight throughout the canopy to promote fruit production from the interior to the outside of the canopy. This will allow air circulation in the canopy, reducing leaf and fruit diseases, so you benefit in two ways.

Using dwarf apple trees as an example, you will likely use what is termed the central leader system to train your trees. The central leader system allows your fruit tree to look much more like most other trees in your landscape, yet produce apples without the tree looking like those you see in older commercial orchards.

Training starts the first year you plant your fruit trees. This ensures your dwarf tree actually remains dwarf in your home

DOWN THE GARDEN PATH Richard Hentschel orchard.

You can start to select your scaffold branches placing the first set of scaffold branches no more than 20 to 24 inches from the ground. By starting that low, you will be able to place additional scaffolds and still have a mature tree that is no taller than 6 to 8 feet tall, making it easier to manage.

There are several other advantages of a welltrained dwarf fruit tree.

Annual spring pruning will be visually clearer as to which branches need your attention. There will be branches that need to be adjusted using traditional branch spreaders or alternative methods such as using twine and a stake to pull the branch into the desired horizontal plane as you develop your scaffolds.

Water sprouts will be easily identified, as they will be growing straight up from the horizontal scaffold branches.

As your dwarf fruit tree matures in size, home orchardists will realize there

are additional benefits.

The weekly inspection and monitoring of fruit pests will be easier and done very quickly. Even though young fruit trees may not be producing apples, there are insects and foliar diseases that need to be taken care of. Foliage feeding insects reduce the canopy, decreasing the amount of energy that can go into growth and development.

Leaf diseases have a similar impact.

If allowed to continue over the season, or seasons, it could easily delay fruit production and in a bigger picture, lessen the overall vigor. You want a tree that develops quickly, so that your training then can encourage flowers and fruit set. Limited fruits can begin to show up as early as the third year and get more productive every year after. Enjoy the challenge and amaze your friends with fruit that came right out of your yard.

Area 4-H Shooting Sports program now in third year SHAW MEDIA The 4-H Shooting Sports Program for DuPage, Kane and Kendall Counties reached milestones in 2015, and volunteers have new goals in mind as the program enters its third year.

“We had quite a year in 2015,” said Rick Winninger, 4-H Shooting Sports volunteer coordinator. “We had 24 kids participate, with seven qualifying for the State Rifle Shoot Competition in October. We came in first in the team event, and one of our students, Thomas Bennet, placed second overall. It was a great learning experience for both shooters and coaches.”

The 4-H Shooting Sports program serves DuPage, Kane and Kendall County youth and includes three disciplines – Outdoor Skills, Archery and Air Rifle.

“First and foremost we start with teaching safety,” said Winninger. “Once archery or firearm safety is understood, we move onto the hands-on portion of the program.

Safety is reinforced from start to finish with every student at every class.”

In addition, the 2016 participants will receive a firearm safety class taught by the Firearm Safety Academy. The program’s equipment was secured through a National Rifle Association Foundation grant, and Illinois 4-H trained all the volunteers.

“Without the support of the NRA Foundation and the dedication and hard work of

all our volunteers, this successful, growing program would not be possible,” said Deanna Roby, 4-H Youth Development educator with University of Illinois Extension of DuPage, Kane and Kendall Counties. “The three disciplines are offered to all our area youth, and sessions usually are based in a single county.”

For example, archery is taught in Kane County, and the outdoor skills classes are held in Kendall County. Currently, Winninger is looking for a winter practice space or to secure a permanent location or range to conduct air rifle classes.

“We have been fortunate that Knollwood Gun Club of Yorkville has donated both a summer-time range and some funding for this program,” he said. “However, we still do not have an indoor location for the other six-month stretch, and there are no funds available for rental fees. When we had to tell the kids that the program was on hold until we had a location, the looks of disappointment made it really tough.”

The volunteer group hopes to have an indoor location donated to allow the program to continue with less interruption.

If you are interested in contributing, contact Roby at roby@illinois.edu or at the University of Illinois Extension office in Kane County, at 630-584-6166. The local 4-H Shooting Sports Program also welcomes new volunteer instructors in order to serve additional youth. Training is required.

Grant to pay for Dickson-Murst work 4-H is SHAW MEDIA

The Conservation Foundation has received a $10,000 grant from the Community Foundation of the Fox River Valley for repairs and painting of the buildings at Dickson-Murst Farm in Montgomery.

The 1860s farm is located on 4.5 acres and showcases sustainable initiatives such as renewable energy and native gardens while preserving the rich farming history of the region.

The grant will be used for needed repairs on the 150-yearold barn to replace rotted posts and support beams, reframe and rebuild the windows, and paint the large barn. Other outbuildings are in need of various repairs and paint.

seeking helpers in 2016 SHAW MEDIA

With a new year underway, personal goals and resolutions are top of mind. If you are looking for a fresh idea this time around, consider making 2016 your year to volunteer.

“Volunteering is a rewarding way to give back to your community or to inspire the next generation,” said Deanna Roby, University of Illinois Extension Educator with 4-H Youth Development in DuPage, Kane and Kendall Counties. “There are many organizations to consider, including 4-H. It is important to choose one that meets your objectives.”

The 4-H program is intentionally designed around four essential concepts necessary for positive youth development: a sense of belonging with a positive group, a development of independence, a spirit of generosity toward others, and a variety of opportunities to engage in learning and master life challenges, explained Roby.

“Through 4-H, volunteers encourage tomorrow’s leaders. It may be by teaching them life skills, encouraging them to be good citizens, or even to providing education in a specific area,” she said. “We work with you to design a volunteer experience to fit your goals, schedule and comfort zone.

There is a wide range of opportunities and time commitments.”

“Being connected to a caring adult outside of parents and family members is important to positive youth development,” explained Roby.

In a recent tri-county 4-H survey, 88 percent of local 4-H youth reported that they have built these crucial bonds through 4-H. In addition, 95 percent of local 4-H’ers said 4-H has helped them find talents to share with others.

Another way to make such an impact is to consider a growing segment of volunteerism in 4-H known as the SPIN Club.

“This fun, interactive volunteer opportunity allows you to share your passion or expertise with local youth,” Roby explained.

“SPIN Clubs, or special interest clubs, are short-term programs that focus on a specific topic or skill, such as gardening, robotics, photography, cooking, woodworking, or visual arts. The possibilities are endless! It is a rewarding way to encourage youth, while doing what you love.”

Roby stressed that 4-H volunteers do not need to 4-H alums.

“You don’t need to be a past member,” Roby said. “All of our volunteers care greatly about passing on knowledge and skills to today’s youth, and these leaders are the backbone of the 4-H Youth Development program. Whether someone is a longtime community club leader or a one-day workshop teacher, we appreciate all that they do to help 4-H youth.”

Bridget Bridget is a 4 year old female kitty.

She is a small (6 lb.), light colored tabby, with an impossibly cute face and a big Siamese voice.

She likes cuddling and talking with her foster mom, but can hold her own with the 3 big male cats she lives with.

Bridget would be happy to go to her new home alone or with one of her friends. All would be wonderful additions to any family.

Bridget's adoption fee is $100.00 which includes her spay, vaccines and microchip.

If you are interested in adopting a kitty companion, call Paws and Purrs Humane Society.

We are an all-volunteer feline rescue group.

All of our cats and kittens are cared for in foster homes until they can be adopted.

Adoptions events are held from 4 to 7 pm the second Saturday of the month at the Geneva Petco on Randall Rd. We also have other cats in store at that location.

VERDAD Verdad's Story... UPDATE: I am back.

I guess that they did not know that I am a puppy and I need direction and lessons.

I did not kn ow that I was not supposed to eat the Christmas Tree and then his jacket was the last straw.

Sorry but no one told me.

If someone will please give me another chance, please teach me right from wrong.

Born around the 28th of Sept. in Tennessee, I have come North to look for a loving family. I am a very sweet and loving little female and would like to find a family that wants a 4 legged little creature to love and pamper. I will return by lots of kisses and tail wags and ever so much unconditional love.

Are you interested? If so, please contact 4Paws 4U 4Ever so they can schedule a time for us to meet.

Thanks for looking.

4Paws 4U 4Ever will be hosting adoption events Saturday at DOWNERS GROVE Petsmart and Sunday at SOUTH ELGIN Petsmart.

I will be waiting anxiously to find my new 4Ever family. and I will have some of my puppy and adult dog friends from the shelter available for adoption too!

Visit

www.puppiesthatneedlove.com

to see all of the puppies and dogs that are available.

You can request any of the dogs or pups be brought to an adoption event for your family to meet or schedule a time to see Verdad at the shelter by calling 630-258-9219, or please fill out the application on the website under How to Adopt. Your entire family must be present in order for you to adopt.
