Officers cleared in local shooting State’s attorney: Man who was shot fired rifle at police

By JOHN ETHEREDGE jetheredge@shawmedia.com

Demolition begins on old Oswego government building Demolition of the old Oswego Village Hall at 113 Main St. started early Tuesday morning.

Within a few hours, contractors for the village had taken down a large section of the single-story building, which had stood since 1921.

The building, which at various times had housed the Oswego Volunteer Fire Department and village police department, had stood vacant since the completion of the new village hall at 100 Parkers Mill in 2008.

The two Oswego police officers involved in an Aug. 29 shooting incident in the village’s Cedar Glen subdivision were justified in their actions, Kendall County State’s Attorney Eric Weis has determined.

As a result, Weis said in an Oct. 27 letter to the Illinois State Police, his office considers “the matter to be closed” and no charges will be filed against the officers.

Weis based his conclusions on a review of the incident which resulted in police shooting and wounding Taylor J. Cano, a resident of Ashlawn Avenue.

In making his determination, Weis noted he examined the events and circumstances that led to Cano’s shooting in the early morning hours of Aug. 29. Weis said he reviewed all of the police reports, witness statements, evidence recovered at the scene, incident photos and statements made by Cano to village and state police. In addition, he said he watched and listened to video and audio recordings of the incident, including radio traffic and 911 telephone calls.

Weis said that prior to the incident Cano had several conversations with KenCom (911) dispatchers concerning his intent to commit harm against other individuals that day.

Cano also told dispatchers he was armed and would harm those who would come to help him.

Upon arrival on Ashlawn Avenue, the two police officers, Chad Dickey

Advance warning signs will be placed in the area at least five days prior to the closure. The crossing will be closed to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic during construction.

Continued from page 1 and Ben Hackl, found Cano, who appeared to have a firearm in his hand. Police later determined it to be a long rifle.

According to Weis, the officers used flashlights to illuminate Cano in the darkness and yelled for him to put the weapon down and to show his hands.

Weis continued, “At that point, Mr. Cano turned and fired at the officers, discharging one round.

Officers Dickey and Hackl returned fire and Mr. Cano was struck one time,” sustaining a nonlethal wound.

Oswego Fire Protection District paramedics were immediately summoned to the scene and took Cano to Rush-Copley Medical Center in Aurora.

Budget effects trickle down to local level Area sees long delays getting state money

By MATT SCHURY mschury@shawmedia.com

and JOHN ETHEREDGE

jetheredge@shawmedia.com Local governmental agencies are beginning to feel the effects of the state budget impasse.

Kendall County and county municipal officials reported this week the state of Illinois is falling behind in making some previously expected payments to their agencies.

Local governmental agencies rely on the state for millions of dollars in revenues from multiple sources, including the state income tax, motor fuel tax and gaming revenues. The local agencies, in turn, use the revenues to cover their operational expenses.

The possibility they may not receive anticipated state revenues for the current fiscal year and may receive significantly less from next fiscal year is a lingering concern for many of the local officials.

In the event the state fails to make or cuts payments, the challenge for county and local officials will be how to pay for essential services such as police protection, snow plowing and street maintenance.

Justin VanVooren, the village of Montgomery’s finance director, said the state is delayed in making payments from three of its funds to the village dating back to July 1 and what should have been the start of the state’s fiscal year.

According to VanVooren, the state owes the village about $204,000 in payments – about $120,000 in motor fuel tax funds, $66,000 in use taxes and $4,500 in video gaming funds.

The use tax is a tax that is paid on overseas purchases, and the state distributes it on a per capita basis, VanVooren said.

Village officials are also concerned that the state’s Local Government Distributive Fund payments are two months behind.

Revenues for those payments come from income taxes paid by state residents.

Gov. Bruce Rauner previously proposed cutting in half the state income tax money the village and other municipalities across Illinois receive.

VanVooren said the budget the governor has proposed includes deep cuts to those funds that Montgomery depends on. He added the village has already been planning ways so it can stay afloat if those cuts should go through.

The most difficult part of the budget impasse for village officials, VanVooren said, is the uncertainty in getting state funding and trying to plan a fiscal budget around dollars that might not come to the village.

“We’ve been getting this income tax all along. Are they going to retroactively say we’re taking 50 percent and you have to pay it back?” VanVooren said. “It is that uncertainty – that is one of the hardest things right now.”

The village’s fiscal year ends in April, and VanVooren said it would be nice if the state had a budget before then so village officials know what funding they will be receiving.

“We really need to know by the end of this fiscal year what’s going to happen,” he said.

“What a waste of money to pay people who are doing nothing. That is the real frustration.”

Gail Johnson Oswego village president In Yorkville, City Administrator Bart Olson reported the state is withholding use tax and motor fuel tax reimbursements from the city.

“We’re not delaying projects yet, simply due to timing,” Olson said.

He added the state previously suspended payments on some grants, which will delay the completion of some city projects.

Olson said the city has not yet been impacted by delays in the reimbursement of motor fuel tax funds since there are no large projects targeted to use those revenues until next spring or summer.

Oswego Village President Gail Johnson said the budget impasse is not yet having a significant impact on the village’s budget or operations.

S h e s a i d t h e Gail Johnson state has been withholding Oswego’s share of video gaming revenues, but noted that is a relatively small amount of revenue compared to other state reimbursements.

Earlier this year the Oswego Village Board accepted a recommendation from Jennifer Hughes, the village’s director of public works, to expedite the village’s annual street maintenance program, which is financed by state-reimbursed motor fuel tax revenues.

In past years, the village has

Man faces child porn charges LEDGER–SENTINEL An Oswego man has been charged with multiple counts of possessing and planning to disseminate child pornography as part of “Operation Glass House,” a statewide initiative to apprehend the most active offenders who download and trade child pornography online, according to Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan.

Homer Wilson Jr., 50, is charged with five counts of possessing child pornography with the intention to disseminate, which are Class X felonies punishable by up to six to 30 years in prison.

He was also charged with 10 counts of possessing child pornography images and 10 counts of possessing child pornography videos. The counts are Class 2 felonies and are each punishable by three to seven years in prison.

Wilson is being held in the Kend-

all County Jail with a bond of $1 million.

A date for his preliminary hearing will be set by the court.

“Every time an image of a child being sexually assaulted is shared and viewed, it perpetuates the original crime and further scars these young, innocent victims and their families,” Madigan said. “My office will continue to be relentless in tracking down and apprehending offenders who trade these horrific videos.”

Madigan’s investigators, with the assistance of the Oswego Police Department and the Kendall County State’s Attorney’s Office, conducted a search of a residence in the 400 block of Dancer Lane in the Churchill Club subdivision and arrested Wilson after evidence of alleged child pornography was discovered.

Kendall County State’s Attorney Eric Weis’ office will prosecute the case.

“Our office is committed to

prosecuting offenders who prey on children to the fullest extent of the law. By working together with the Illinois Attorney General’s High Tech Crimes Bureau, we are able to aggressively pursue these offenders and see that justice is done, ” said Weis.

“The Oswego Police Department takes these crimes very seriously, and we have spent years actively investigating and pursuing the individuals who abuse our children,” said Oswego Police Chief Jeff Burgner. “Our partnership with the Attorney General’s office is an important part of our work to hold these individuals accountable.”

The public is reminded that the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

This is the 76th arrest since Madigan launched “Operation Glass House” in August 2010 to investigate the most active child pornography traders in Illinois.

sought bids for the motor fuel tax program in early summer, with construction typically taking place in late August into September.

But this year the village sought bids and completed the program earlier – when state funding was available, Johnson said.

“We were very lucky that we started our road program earlier this year,” she said. “We came out ahead.”

As an elected official, Johnson said she is frustrated over the continuing inaction on a new budget by state lawmakers.

“I’m trying to understand their rationale,” she said, “As someone who is trying to run local government, it feels to me like they [state lawmakers] are playing a game and it’s not a game – real people are being affected by this, which makes it all the more frustrating.”

Johnson said she and other village officials have contacted local state representatives to express their concern, but she said they are “playing the blame game right now,” with Republicans blaming Democratic leaders and Democrats blaming Rauner.

“No one is saying, ‘This is what we are going to do to solve this,’” she said, adding, “So I don’t see a winner in this for anyone, least of all the people who are paying their salaries. What a waste of money to pay people who are doing nothing. That is the real frustration.”

Kendall County is also feeling the impact of the budget impasse.

According to County Treasurer Jill Ferko, the state is late in sending salary reimbursements for some officials.

“My opinion is that at this point we are OK, but if this continues for another year from Jill Ferko now, yeah, things could get a little dicey,” Ferko said.

The state has sent the county about $85,000 so far this year for the reimbursement of the state’s attorney’s salary, which the county budgeted at $144,000.

The county has also received $75,000 for the public defender’s salary reimbursement, which the county set at $85,000. The supervisor of assessment’s salary is also reimbursed by the state. The county was expected to receive $35,000 to help offset a portion of that salary and has only taken in $27,000. Ferko says the state hasn’t sent a payment for those reimbursements since June.

The state is also late in sending the county its share of sales taxes collected from local businesses.

Ferko says the county hasn’t received a distribution of those sales tax funds since August.

“We are still getting our public safety tax and we’re still getting our transportation tax, those are coming in quite well,” Ferko said. “[State officials] haven’t come out and said they are not going to be sending it, they are just saying that they are a little behind and are backlogged at this time.

“We are still getting a lot of other major tax revenue as well,” she continued. “I’m not too worried. I do have faith in the fact that at some point they will get a budget and we’ll start seeing some of that.”

Neighborhood Watch to meet LEDGER–SENTINEL Kendall County Sheriff Dwight Baird will meet with residents of the Boulder Hill subdivision to discuss public safety and address resident concerns as part of the next Boulder Hill Neighborhood Watch meeting.

The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 11, at Church of the Brethren, 155 Boulder Hill Pass (use south door) in Boulder Hill.

All Boulder Hill residents are invited to attend.

Baird, who served previously as Oswego police chief, grew up in Boulder Hill.

Boulder Hill resident Paul Lewis will provide a musical tribute for our veterans with a song he wrote and recorded, titled “Remember Those Who Gave.” If you have a relative, friend or neighbor who has served in the armed forces, encourage them to attend.

Notes written by students of

Long Beach Elementary School will be distributed to veterans in recognition of their military service to our country.

Church of the Brethren generously donates space in their building as the Neighborhood Watch program meeting place.

There is no affiliation between the two groups.

The Boulder Hill Neighborhood Watch is an all-volunteer group of residents that sponsors informational meetings on topics of interest and family friendly activities during the year. There are no membership dues. Every resident of the subdivision is a member simply by residence.

Meetings are open to all residents of Boulder Hill. The group invites residents to attend, join in the conversation and share their ideas and concerns. The group’s goal is to keep Boulder Hill a great place to raise families, with good schools and safe streets and neighborhoods.

OUR VIEW

Neighborhood Watch a positive sign If you are a resident of the unincorporated Boulder Hill subdivision or you just care about the subdivision we want to use this space to call your attention to a meeting that will be at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11, the Church of the Brethren at 155 Boulder Hill Pass.

The free meeting will be the next in a series of monthly meetings hosted by the subdivisions’ fledgling Neighborhood Watch program. Among those scheduled to address the gathering is Kendall County Sheriff Dwight Baird.

Boulder Hill Neighborhood Watch is an all-volunteer group of residents that sponsors informational meetings on topics of interest to all subdivision residents.

According to information provided by the

group, their goal is to “keep Boulder Hill a great place to raise families, with good schools and safe streets and neighborhoods.”

We view the residents’ efforts as a positive and encouraging sign for Boulder Hill and its 8,200 residents. As one of the largest unincorporated subdivisions in the nation, Boulder Hill – as it ages – collectively faces some unique challenges. Due to its unincorporated status, residents rely on multiple government agencies for municipal services.

The county sheriff’s department provides police protection to the subdivision and the county building and zoning department is responsible for enforcing building and property maintenance codes.

The Oswego Township Road District maintains streets in the subdivision, while the village of Montgomery furnishes water.

For most of the first three decades of its existence Boulder Hill had an active civic association that organized community festivals and improvement projects.

Unfortunately, by the end of the 1980s the association had disbanded due to a lack of interest. In recent years, the residents of Boulder Hill have been collectively silent as Oswego and Montgomery grew up around the subdivision.

It is hard to believe, but it’s been exactly 60 years since Don L. Dise built the first homes in Boulder Hill. Over the ensuing decades there has been occasional talk

of incorporating Boulder Hill or having either Montgomery or Oswego annex parts of or all of the subdivision. But those discussions always stalled when the potential cost of incorporation or annexation were studied.

Meanwhile, the years have passed, but Boulder Hill has remained a good place to live and raise a family. To keep it that way it is vital that more Boulder Hill residents take an active interest in their community.

That’s why we’re so encouraged to see a group of current residents now stepping up and organizing the Neighborhood Watch program. We hope many more will choose to attend next Wednesday’s meeting at the Church of the Brethren.

Family history research reveals Civil War ties REFLECTIONS Roger Matile I was doing some family history a few months ago, trying to fill in a few holes in the line of my great-great-grandmother, Mary Ann Wolf Minnich, when I finally figured out that two of her brothers, Isaac and Michael, had served in the Civil War. The men in the Wolf family were coal miners in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, short in stature but determined. In September 1861, Isaac, the older of the two, enlisted in Company A of the 50th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Regiment.

The 50th went on to engage in some extremely tough campaigning, including the near drowning of the entire regiment off Cape Hatteras while en route to Hilton Head, fighting at Antietam, Fredericksburg, west all the way to Vicksburg, and campaigns in Tennessee where they served alongside so many young men from Kendall County.

Isaac served through all that without a scratch, and was among the veterans re-enlisting on Jan. 1, 1864, just before the regiment’s unbelievably arduous march east 200 miles to Nicholasville, Kentucky, where they were granted veteran furloughs.

His younger brother, Michael, enlisted on April 6, 1864, and joined the 50th – and his big brother – at Annapolis, Maryland. There the new troops recruited to fill out the regiment’s losses due to combat and enlistment expiration were drilled and organized. The 50th was assigned to the 2nd Brigade, 1st Division, 9th Corps, and left, marching south for what was more and more looking like the last fights of the war in Virginia.

They marched through Washington, D.C., and were reviewed

by President Lincoln and then on across the old battleground at Bull Run, arriving at the Rapidan River on May 5 just in time for Michael’s baptism of fire.

In what was to become known as the Battle of the Wilderness, General Ulysses S. Grant’s Army of the Potomac attacked Rob-

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Photo provided

Rather than retreat or remain stagnant, as was common practice in the Army of the Potomac following a major battle, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant directed the Union army to move forward May 7, 1864 – south to Spotsylvania Court House in Virginia (above). The Army then confronted and defeated Gen. Robert E. Lee and the Confederate Army. Among those wounded in the battle was Michael Wolf, brother of Roger Matile’s great-great-grandmother Mary Ann Wolf Minnich. ert E. Lee’s dwindling Army of Northern Virginia in ferocious, close-quarter combat. The 50th had 17 killed and 53 wounded during the heavy fighting, but both Isaac and Michael made it through without a scratch.

In the past, Union commanders would have halted to lick their wounds and reorganize after such a fierce battle, but not Grant, who pressed on, attempting to turn Lee’s flank. The two armies came to blows again around a wide spot on the road to Richmond called Spotsylvania Courthouse.

On May 9, the 50th Pennsylvania arrived on the banks of the Ny River near Spotsylvania and immediately went on the attack. As the regimental history explains: “With fixed bayonets, the 50th, led by Lt. Col. Overton, charged up the steep ascent, and routed a force of the enemy

greatly superior in number; but the success was gained at a fearful cost, losing in killed, wounded, and missing 120 men.”

One of the wounded was 24-year-old Michael Wolf. A Confederate Minié ball struck Wolf’s left arm, shattering it and knocking him out of the fight.

Brother Isaac, who seemingly led a charmed life, again escaped without a scratch.

Michael was carried to a Union field hospital where doctors assessed the catastrophic damage to his left arm – the humerus was completely shattered.

Surgeons working as quickly as possible under grim conditions amputated the arm at the shoulder since there was no sound bone left of the humerus.

He was evacuated to Carver General Hospital at Washington, D.C., arriving there May 14. On July 6 he was discharged and

sent home to Schuylkill County to recuperate.

He was in pretty rough shape.

His sister Mary Ann, my greatgreat grandmother, went to visit as soon as he arrived home and was shocked at the appearance of this once-vital former coal miner. “I found him propped up in bed, his heart beating very hard and fast,” she recalled years afterward, adding, “From the time of his discharge to his death he was troubled all the time with heart disease and often had severe attacks of it so that he was confined to his bed.”

Shortly after the war, my great-great-grandparents decided to try their luck in Illinois. They farmed out in Wheatland Township east of Oswego for a few years before moving to a place just north of Oswego in the old village of Troy where Mary Ann wove rag rugs on a loom her hus-

band, John, made for her while he found work on the railroad.

Michael, hearing reports of how nice it was in Illinois – and there being no market for onearmed coal miners – decided to move west, too.

He settled with his sister and her family for a while, and he even found someone to marry. Elizabeth Young Orr was divorced with two growing children, but the couple apparently made a go of it on Michael’s $24-a-month soldier’s disability pension.

Elizabeth’s children married into local families and Michael dealt with the myriad health problems resulting from his short, disastrous, military career before dying in 1884.

The Sept. 10, 1884, Kendall County Record carried his poignant obituary: “Michael Wolf, the one armed soldier who has been almost in continual distress – his arm was taken off at the shoulder joint, leaving no stump, which caused certain disarrangements in the arterial system and affected the heart – and who has been on the failing order for some time died the latter part of the week. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon from the house.”

He was buried with so many more of his Civil War comrades in the Oswego Township Cemetery. This year, thanks to the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, his grave was finally marked.

Next week, we celebrate Veterans Day, honoring all those who’ve served our nation so well during so many conflicts. At the Little White School Museum in Oswego, you’re invited to stop

by Nov. 7-15 to visit their huge free annual “Remembering our Veterans” exhibit honoring those who served from the Civil War through the conflicts of the 21st century. Hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.

This Veterans Day, don’t forget to offer a few thoughts to the young men who put everything they had on the line to protect their country.

FORUM Meat and cigarettes

To the Editor: Thank you to the World Health Organization for having the courage to speak truth to power: meat, like cigarettes and asbestos, does cause cancer. No U.S. health agency would ever say this for fear of losing Congressional funding.

The World Cancer Research Fund and a number of other international health agencies have been advising for years that meat consumption raises the risk of colon and other forms of cancer, but the WHO panel was actually able to determine a causal effect.

The 630-page report was drafted by a panel of 22 experts from ten countries who reviewed 800 studies of the link between meat and cancer.

These included animal experiments, studies of human diet and health, and research into cellular processes that cause cancer.

The panel’s conclusions evoked strong responses, with obvious resistance from the meat industry and calls for warning labels, akin to those mandated for cigarettes, from environmental groups.

Cancer of the colon is expected to kill nearly 50,000 Americans this year, mostly through a self-inflicted diet. Fortunately, annual per capita U.S. meat consumption has dropped by 15 percent from a high of 121 pounds in 2002, as consumers switch to healthier, more convenient, and tastier plant-based alternatives.

State services jeopardized

To the Editor: The ongoing budget crisis has jeopardized a number of important services for local families. While I continue to push for an end to the impasse and passage of a balanced budget that cuts wasteful spending while protecting critical services for middle-class families, I want to do everything I can to protect local residents from the effects of a government shutdown.

As a result of the impasse, the Secretary of State’s office recently announced that it would no longer mail out reminders to drivers about vehicle registration renewal.

Many drivers rely on these notices, especially seniors who may not drive their cars regularly, and without a reminder, many could face costly fines.

In order to avoid past-due fees and tickets for expired license plates, I am encouraging residents to sign up for free electronic reminders at ilsos. gov/greenmail. You will need to use the registration ID and PIN number that is printed on your current registration card. If you do not have your current card, or if you need assistance with this sign-up, please call the Secretary of State’s Public Inquiry Division at 800-252-8980.

As always, my full-time constituent service office is here to help you.

Whenever you have thoughts you would like to share or if I can ever be of assistance to you, please contact me at 630-585-1308 or stephanie. kifowit@att.net.

Disappointed with direction

To the Editor: I have been very disappointed with the direction the Ledger-Sentinel has taken since its acquisition by Shaw Media. The news articles seem to have been significantly reduced and more troubling seem to have been replaced by merely reprinting press releases. The Oct. 29 issue contains a ‘news’ story about ‘Hultgren votes for health care changes’. This ‘article’ is a word for word reprint of an Oct. 23 press release from Hultgren. How is this considered news? There are other avenues for Hultgren and other politicians of all parties to release their propaganda. Using an article posing as news in a ‘news’ paper should not be one of them. If the Ledger-Sentinel continues in this course I’ll cancel my subscription which I’ve held for 20 years and get my Roger Matile fix by going to the Oswego Historical society rather than reading his article in your paper.

Innocent victims

To the Editor: How many more hostages will fall prey to Governor Rauner’s demands before an agreement is negotiated on the budget? Besides seniors, the disabled and low-wage workers being targeted, there is another hostage caught up in the battle between Rauner and Speaker of the House, Mike Madigan.

My good friend is fighting cancer once again. She worked for 38 years in the public sector and has her secondary insurance in the hands of the State of Illinois. Due to the shutdown of state programs, payments for her care will not be paid. Her doctor will no longer treat her so she is now faced with having to travel 37 miles one way to Rush because they are still accepting her insurance. With winter approaching and the exhaustion following treatments, she will have to impose on friends or The American Cancer Society to get her to Chicago and back again.

Governor Rauner is not going to negotiate any deal unless he gets what he wants. His goal since taking

office has been to destroy collective bargaining rights in Illinois through his Turnaround Agenda. I hope this isn’t a question of importance between chemotherapy or collective bargaining?

A better question should be: can a governor be impeached for giving our tax money to his corporate cronies and nothing but hardship for the citizens of Illinois?

More than an ‘idea’

To the Editor: I appreciate the polite thoughts put forward in Ms. Taylor’s Oct. 29 letter in last week’s Forum. However, a few points need to be corrected. I hope we can all recognize that the pro-life position is not against medical research or curing diseases.

The pro-life position simply recognizes that in a peaceful society, there are some lines that ought not be crossed.

For example, we have laws against theft, drunk driving, false advertising, myriad behaviors that harm people. If a medical researcher was discovered to have stolen all of their research material, we would be right to correct the situation. In the same way, if research requires ending human lives, that’s something that ought to be out-of-bounds, just like research that required theft.

That isn’t an attack on science or medicine, it’s a correction of an injustice.

A child in the womb isn’t an “idea” or a “potential” human, to use Ms. Taylor’s words. An abstract idea doesn’t have a heartbeat you can hear; you can’t feel a kick from pure potential. There’s no magical moment during delivery when something pops into existence that wasn’t there five minutes earlier, or five months earlier. A new human comes into existence at the moment of conception. At that moment, a new individual exists, she’s alive and growing, and she’s certainly human. That’s not radical; that’s just biology, that’s science.

Anything else is politics.

We can and should find ways to better care for those in poverty, sin-

gle mothers, etc. We can have that debate, and reasonable people can disagree on how best to do that. But we should also agree that certain lines are too far, and ending inconvenient lives is one of those lines. If all life is sacred, that includes life in the womb, or our words are empty.

A real concern

To the Editor: To rural county road users, bicyclists are a very real concern.

A rise only four feet high can hide a cyclist from view, if the rider has descended the far side. At 55 mph, a motorist might require 200-300 feet to decelerate to 20 mph in five seconds to avoid overtaking and hitting the rider, if there are approaching cyclists or vehicles on a two-lane road. A Route 80 overpass is an example. However, our moraine and creek areas have roads with such rises. Winding roads with banks or trees limiting views ahead are similar danger zones.

Since bicyclists going 10-20 mph are allowed to essentially block an 8’ wide lane, such locations should be identified as we do deaf children, blind entrances, etc., requiring either vehicles to slow to 30 mph or less, or cyclists to use the berm or walk their bike on the shoulder.

Rural roads are ideal for cyclist travel, but the risk to all users from the speed difference of 50 mph or so and limited line of vision should justify caution signs and other interventions. Maintenance workers, hikers and farm equipment operators would also benefit.

Alphonse I. Johnson Newark

Still a valid concept

To the Editor: Once again, an Ed Washak letter stands in need of correction. His letter in the Oct. 22 Forum is the latest example.

Apparently, he believes that the April 2009 “20/20” show on ABC titled “If I Only Had a Gun” shows the futility of allowing armed citizens to carry their firearms into a classroom environment. Ed, do you remember

when Dan Rather forged documents that were supposed to show that George W. Bush went AWOL? Do you remember when NBC rigged gas tanks on GM pickups to explode?

Why do you believe that an anti-gun news network will present solid facts about the use of guns? “Bias” is a word you should become more familiar with. For a factual description of how that entire show was rigged, get out your Goggle and type in, “abc’s shameful ‘20/20’ experiment.”

You also quote Chief Justice Warren Burger as saying that the constitutional right to own a gun was a “fraud.” Ed, the Supreme Court of the United States once said that slavery was a good idea. Are you going on record, in this overheated, everything-is-racist society, as saying that Supreme Court justices have always been right?

You also seem to sneer at the idea that a “well regulated militia” is still a valid concept. The Second Amendment was written to intend that every able-bodied, armed male is a member of “a well regulated militia.” Ed, when I was in the Air Force, I fired five times for qualification with small arms. I fired expert all five times and had a perfect score the fifth time. The few, feeble hours of instruction with an M1 carbine that the Air Force gave me did not make that possible.

Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the architect of the attack on Pearl Harbor, is credited – possibly incorrectly – as saying that invasion of the American mainland would be impossible because there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.

Well, whoever said it had the right idea. Ask any military tactician about the problems of an invading force facing a few million good-ole boys armed with scoped, high-powered hunting rifles.

If you, and people like you, really believe that the total ban on gun ownership will solve our criminal violence problem, then you should try to do the same thing to alcohol, cocaine, heroin and methamphetamines. Oh. Wait. I think there’s something wrong with that last idea, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. Can you?

Uphold conservative principles

To the Editor: If you follow the voting records of our U.S. politicians you probably know that our Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk has not voted as I believe most would expect. He voted not to defund Planned Parenthood (he was the only Republican senator to vote no). He voted against the bill to end sanctuary cities, and many other important issues.

James Marter a resident of Oswego who has not held public office before is gathering signatures to be on the ballot in March against Mark Kirk. James Marter is pro-life, progun, pro-defense of our country and anti-amnesty.

I hope you will support Mr. Marter so we can uphold conservative principles in Congress.

Schools can’t outpace students using social media 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.

Effective and efficient communication is one of the priorities for School District 308.

Over the past several weeks, I have received questions about communication and future plans to improve communication throughout SD 308. I will address the following questions and hope my responses are helpful.

Recently, a social media threat was made at one of the schools.

How were parents notified of this? I read it online. Is that a problem you believe needs fixed?

Unfortunately, communication was made through various social media outlets about a threat against one or more students attending a school within School District 308.

Fortunately, Oswego police determined there was “no credibility to the threat and substantiated that no criminal act occurred.”

School District 308 cannot outpace students who choose to communicate via social media and text messaging to parents

ASK DR. WENDT Dr. Matthew Wendt and the public while an issue is being investigated by the school system and/or police. Students and others communicate what is often viewed as facts, but later found to be rumors or information lacking credibility. School District 308 will not communicate with parents and the public until after information is verified and factual.

When addressing serious allegations like potential threats against others, School District 308 must get it right. There is no capacity for being wrong considering the potential damage to an individual, especially when that person is a student. I recognize in today’s world of instant communication people have the desire to be informed immediately. Until circumstances can be substantiated, School District 308 will delay communication even when information is being leaked inappropriately.

School District 308 desires our employees, students, parents and the public be well-informed

in a timely manner. Situations involving the police will be subject to careful scrutiny; and moreover, when communicated to stakeholders, School District 308 will do our part to confirm the information is factual.

My son’s school is not following his IEP and I am concerned about what to do. I want to speak directly to the board or you. Who can help me?

As with any issue, it is imperative to discuss concerns with faculty and administration.

Your son’s Individual Education Plan (IEP) is important. Our collaborate effort to ensure that what is contained within the IEP is followed by educators and support staff is a district expectation. Furthermore, this legal agreement outlines the services to meet the needs of students, and unless meetings occur to alter or change the agreement, the IEP should be fully implemented.

There are times when parents disagree with a teacher, and to no surprise, teachers often disagree with parents. In these situations, I believe it is crucial for the teacher and parent to meet in person and discuss concerns.

Often I hear of the majority of communication occurring via

email or telephone. I urge meetings about children to be held in person. It just simply produces better outcomes.

If the meeting between you and your child’s teacher is unsatisfactory, I encourage a meeting with the school’s assistant principal and/or principal. It is our hope that communication at the school level results in understanding, resolve and agreement.

Periodically, parents might need to include district personnel. Assistant directors and directors of departments can be very helpful and resourceful. The school district’s assistant superintendents and associate superintendent are always available to assist parents.

Board members and I are periodically contacted to help resolve issues. We are pleased to help parents when possible, but we encourage all parents to follow the district’s communication structure. In most every situation, it is appropriate for us to direct parents back to the school until conversations have been exhausted.

Parents always have the opportunity to communicate with district personnel and board members. However, the most

convenient avenue is not always the most effective avenue. Thank you for your good question, and I hope successful communication will occur soon with your child’s teacher and administration.

Is there a plan to have a district newsletter? It seems like a monthly newsletter would help inform parents of what is happening in the district. How do you feel about a newsletter?

Yes. There is a plan to create a district-wide newsletter by the end of the 2015-16 school year. I am most supportive of a school district newsletter – electronic and hard copy – be made available to our parents and community members highlighting successes, accomplishments, upcoming events, news and information. If you have suggestions, email Brian Graves, Director of Communications and Public Relations (bgraves@sd308.org).

• 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.

Proposed county budget for ‘Very tight’ forest preserve budget on display; cuts 1 job 2015-16 shows $1.4M deficit

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com The Kendall County Forest Preserve District may be facing some “challenges going forward” fiscally, but the agency’s proposed new budget has a small surplus, according to the district’s director Dave Guritz.

The board of commissioners is expected to approve the new budget later this month after voting to put a tentative version on display in October.

The district’s new fiscal year will begin Dec. 1.

The proposed budget shows a projected balance of about $2 million in the capital fund and an approximate $5,000 surplus in the operating budget.

Regarding the operating budget, Guritz mentioned that “a ton of work” has gone into examining the budget over the last year.

He said they expect about $1 million in operating revenues and expenses for the coming fiscal year.

“We’re very tight right now with our finances.

There are things that we would like to be able to do that we just can’t afford to do. Staffing is very tight so you’re really looking at situation where we can continue to deliver the base services and maintenance of forest preserve areas

with the challenge being longer-term management,” he said.

Guritz also mentioned the preliminary budget includes “personnel reductions,” including cutting one full-time position.

“Within this budget – and this is still under discussion – there are some personnel cuts that are scheduled,” he said. “We are being sensitive about that right now and it’s to be determined.”

The district has also left positions unfilled after staff members retired and left the district.

“In the past year we’ve had two full-time staff members retire, we had one fulltime staff member take another job – they resigned,” Guritz said. “If you look at the last four or five years, we’ve been over expended in operations by about $150,000.”

On the revenue side, the district has increased tuition and fees for some of the preschool and educational programs, which helped to make those self sustaining.

The budget includes funding for the Ellis House and Equestrian Center, which some board members suggested in the past needs to be sold or leased.

“The board has really come together within this budget; there’s still differ-

ences of opinion on the long-term costs for maintaining Ellis as a community center,” Guritz said.

“Within this budget we would continue to sustain our wedding events out there and we would continue to sustain our equestrian program.”

In 2007, Kendall County voters approved a referendum to give the forest preserve district the authority to issue up to $45 million in bonds to purchase more forested and open space in the county from private owners.

Guritz said that while the district bought up several properties in the last eight years, it will now have to maintain those properties. Additionally, farmland the district has been renting to farms will have to eventually be converted into usable space.

“The bottom line is we have begun to look at the various costs that we have associated with any of these forest preserves and cropland conversions,” Guritz said. “We are not giving up and there is more that we can do to continue to maintain high-quality natural areas.”

He added that there are pending capital projects that will use up those remaining capital funds over the next few years.

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com The Kendall County Board voted 7-2 Tuesday night to place on public display a proposed new fiscal year budget that shows a $1.4 million deficit.

Board members Jeff Wehrli and Elizabeth Flowers opposed the motion to put the proposed budget on display at the county clerk’s office in Yorkville.

The board is expected to adopt a final budget – after making further revisions to the proposed budget – by Nov. 30, the end of the current fiscal year. The new budget will cover the county’s expenses for the fiscal year that will begin Dec. 1.

Prior to the split vote, Wehrli debated fellow board member John Purcell over a proposed $350,000 expenditure from the Kendall County Health Department’s budget to cover the cost of benefits for the department’s employees.

Wehrli stressed that he didn’t think this was fair.

“So we’re demanding $350,000 from the health department’s budget without having a discussion with the Health Department Board, without having a discus-

sion with the Health Department Finance Board?” Wehrli asked.

Purcell countered that the county pays for the benefits for health department employees.

“This would not cost anything to the health department because 100 percent of those benefits are being paid for by the county,” Purcell said.

Purcell added that the health department was in great financial shape with about $3.2 million or an eight-month fund balance reserve. He said he didn’t think it would be unfair to ask the health department for these funds since they had a robust savings.

“We’re trying to keep in the general fund between a six- and seven-month fund balance [$15.5 million]; that was a policy this board passed a year ago,” Purcell said. “If we can keep six months … we don’t think it’s unreasonable to say to a department of the county that has eight months fund balance to kick in and let’s help this cause.”

Board member Bob Davidson said he had heard the health department pays for

Fire chief emphasizes safety

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com New vehicles and a focus on the budget were among updates from Oswego Fire Chief Michael Veseling during a “Chat with the Chiefs” meeting in Plainfield.

Veseling participated in the Plainfield event because the Oswego Fire Protection District also covers some areas in Plainfield.

The fire district is receiving a new ambulance and fire truck, Veseling said.

“We’ve got kind of Michael an aging fleet right Veseling now,” he said.

The new fire engine was recently ordered and is expected to arrive by March. The ambulance arrived at the district Thursday.

“It’s a four-wheel-drive ambulance,” Veseling said. “Especially in some of the rural areas and some of the snow we’ve had in recent years, we want to go that direction. ... If it works out well we’re probably look-

ing to duplicate that on our other ambulance.”

Veseling said the district is also working on cost savings, including cutting overhead.

That includes utilities and fuel delivery changes, and switching to LED lighting in the district, which will result in an 18-month payback for the costly upgrades, Veseling said.

Fire safety

Veseling also harped on the importance of fire safety, especially during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season.

Veseling said residential fires cost the country $9.5 billion per year and account for 70 to 75 percent of all civilian and firefighter deaths in fires.

Veseling also reminded people to make sure fires are out in the fireplace, candles are in proper containers and extinguished before heading to bed, and decorations are as safe as they can be.

“I don’t think any of that can be understated in this day and age,” he said.

“You just give us the correct budget because the tax-

payer is paying double – that money came from the taxpayer and he’s got to pay it again,” Davidson said. “We’re getting money out of the grants so if the money is coming in from the grant to pay for the bennies [benefits] then they should not against our people in the county ... now, if I’m wrong take me to the cross I don’t care but that’s my opinion.”

He added that the health department needs a strong reserve because of uncertainty in the state and federal grant dollars.

“Because we have no state budget, because we have a two-month federal budget, we have no idea what we’re going to get for grant money,” Wehrli said. “This is totally up in the air.”

Metro West group leader announced LEDGER–SENTINEL The Metro West Council of Government recently named Montgomery Village President Matt Brolley as the president of the organization’s board of directors for 2015-16.

The Metro West is a council of municipalities serving a population of more than 750,000 in Kendall, Kane and DeKalb counties.

The nonprofit organization was founded in November 2004 and is supported by member dues.

It serves its members and the region by promoting excellence in local government; evaluating the impact of pending state and federal legislation on municipalities; articulating municipal concerns and advocating municipal positions on local, regional, state and national issues;

fostering intergovernmental communication and cooperation; providing research, technical assistance, training and leadership development opportunities to members; addressing g r o w t h , Matt Brolley t r a n s p o r tation and water conservation issues affecting the region; and serving as a strong advocate for municipalities.

Brolley was elected Montgomery village president in 2013. Previously he had served as a village board member, a member of the village plan commission and as a member of the Montgomery Economic Development Corporation. He works professionally as an engineer with Koziol Engineering.

Part of Rt. 34 dedicated to golf course manager LEDGER–SENTINEL This October, the Illinois Department of Transportation, by direction of Gov. Bruce Rauner, designated the section of Route 34 in Oswego from Wolf’s Crossing Road to Douglas Road as the “Leon McNair Highway” to celebrate McNair’s induction into the Illinois Golf Hall of Fame.

McNair was born in Amsterdam, New York, on May 15, 1941. He and his family moved to Illinois, where he attended Glenbard West High School. While in high school, he received the Most Valuable Player Award in Golf in 1959 and 1960.

He attended Southern Illinois University, where he was a member of the fiveman golf team that won the

NCAA Division II National Championship in 1964.

Working on the crew of golf course architect-builder Brent Wadsworth, McNair helped build Fox Bend Golf Course in Oswego and was asked by Wadsworth to be the course’s Head Golf Professional when the course opened in 1967. McNair spent his career at Fox Bend as the director of golf and manager of the course until his retirement in 2005.

A community open house will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, at Pearce’s Restaurant at Fox Bend Golf Course, 3516 Route 34 in Oswego, to recognize McNair for this honor and celebrate his professional accomplishments and contributions to the game of golf in Oswegoland.

Gaming changes explored Oswego looking at licensing process

By NATALIE STEVENS news@kendallcountynow.com How the village of Oswego regulates video gaming licenses and the type of businesses that would qualify for them may be in for some changes.

Village Clerk Tina Touchette provided the Oswego Village Board with information Tuesday evening regarding possible changes in how the village issues video gaming licenses.

Several businesses that are not primarily bars or restaurants have expressed interest in obtaining video game licenses, according to Touchette.

The village board voted to allow video gaming in 2013. However, under state law, to qualify for a video gaming license, local businesses must have liquor licenses and are limited to having no more than five video gaming machines.

When the board voted to allow video gaming, Touchette said she contacted businesses within the village who would be interested in having a video game license and said that 10 were interested.

The number of available licenses was then set at 10, but Touchette noted if 15 businesses had expressed interest the amount of available licenses would have been set at 15.

Currently there are eight businesses that hold video gaming licenses, Touchette said, and there is a ninth license now pending for a proposed new business, Stella’s Place.

“We want to address future licenses that are coming in,” Touchette said, adding that most new businesses are not interested in video gaming.

However, a business like Stella’s

Place is seeking a license with their primary purpose being video gaming and not food and drink like many of the other license holders.

Trustee Joe West said he recently visited a new liquor store in the village that holds a video gaming license and it was “not what he imagined.”

West said it “kind of opened my eyes to see what was going on.”

He explained he had been under the impression that the licenses were to be more for bars and restaurants, but the business he visited seemed geared more to video gaming.

Garry Leff, the CEO of Stella’s Place, and Charity Johns, the vice president of operations, addressed the board about their plans for their business and described it as a “mid-century modern café” and as a “gathering place.” Stella’s Place would serve food, but Leff said food and beverage sales have been only about 5 to 10 percent of their revenue based on location and the rest is from video gaming.

Leff said they were hoping to increase that number at their Oswego location.

Trustee Pam Parr expressed concern over their business plan, which shows that Stella’s Place would feature a menu of breakfast items, mini “shareable” plates and desserts, as well as the modern décor.

She went out to the company’s Plano location and said she was “very confused” as it looked nothing like the pictures and the employee there said they had a microwave for food, cookies and deviled eggs.

“So which one are we talking about?” she asked.

Johns said the Plano location is actually a Shelby’s, not a Stella’s Place, and has a different concept based on what the community wanted.

Leff assured the board that the Oswego location would look “exactly”

like the pictures presented.

For the future of video gaming licenses in the village, the board discussed what type of establishment should be considered.

Touchette said that in addition to Stella’s Place, there were about 10 other businesses that have expressed interest in wanting to obtain video gaming licenses.

Board members discussed the idea of requiring establishments seeking a license to also have some sort of connection to food.

In addition, the board discussed requiring all licenses to be subject to a final vote of approval by the board, like liquor licenses.

Trustee Ryan Kauffman said the actual number of licenses allowed “didn’t make much sense” to him and Parr said that the current number was “arbitrary” based on earlier interest.

Village Administrator Daniel Di Santo said the board could also consider another option. He suggested that, assuming they approved Stella’s Place, there would be nine video gaming licenses in the village. Of those, if four did not serve a majority food or beverage and instead their principal purpose was video gaming, the village could place a cap on those four and would not move beyond that.

“Anybody who is in now, you’re safe,” Di Santo explained. “We’re not going to allow any more in.”

That idea was met with resounding support from board members.

The board later unanimously voted 6-0 to approve Stella’s Place for a Class “A” liquor license, which is the only license the business qualified for since it does not have any restrictions on the percentage of food sales to liquor sales or gaming revenue.

Since Stella’s Place now has an approved liquor license, they may now be approved for a video gaming license.

15 years ago this month During a ceremony in front of the Oswego Public Library building in downtown Oswego, Gov. George Ryan presented a check totaling $2.2 million to Craig Weber, village president, to help pay for the renovation of the village’s Main Street business district. After the ceremony, Weber paused briefly to contemplate the significance of the $2.2 million state grant. “This is probably one of the most important days in the village’s history up to this point,” he said.

20 years ago this month Gary Pregel, Montgomery’s village president, cast the tie-breaking favorable vote on a motion to approve plans for the construction of an 82-unit townhome development near the northwest corner of U.S. Route 30 and Douglas Road in the village’s Seasons Ridge subdivision.

Board opponents of the measure expressed concern about the project’s impact on traffic along nearby Douglas Road.

Several homeowners along Van Emmon Road near Yorkville strenuously objected to a proposal to develop a bike trail near their homes that, if built, would link Oswego and Yorkville.

Addressing county forest preserve district commissioners, a spokesman for the homeowners described suggestions that the trail would help spur economic development in downtown Yorkville as a “bunch of baloney.”

25 years ago this month Kendall County officials announced plans to seek bids early in 1991 for the proposed extension of Orchard Road south from U.S. Route 30 to Galena Road. John DuRocher, Montgomery village administrator, told the Ledger-Sentinel village officials expected properties adjoining the new section of Orchard Road would one day be developed for tax-generating retail stores and light industrial uses.

For the fifth time in seven years, local voters rejected an Oswego School District utility fund referendum. “Our negative vote has a lot to do with the anti-tax fever in the state and nationally,” commented School Superintendent Dr. Terry Tamblyn after all the ballots were counted. “We are one of the only places people can say no to taxes, and they do just that.”

Illinois Bell Telephone Company’s state-of-the-art Oswego Electronic Switching Office, northwest corner of Washington Street and Ill. Route 71, Oswego, 1970. had sought passage of the measure since 1981.

40 years ago this month Acting at the direction of the Montgomery Village Board, James Edwards, village attorney, drafted an anti-pornography ordinance. The board directed Edwards to prepare the ordinance in response to the opening of a bookstore in the village.

45 years ago this month A letter writer to the Ledger expressed concern over a provision in Illinois’ proposed new constitution which, she warned, would “pave the way” for the confiscation of all registered firearms.

At the stroke of midnight on Nov. 28 the village of Oswego became the first community in the nation to have an electronic telephone switching system. The system was put into service by Illinois Bell in a newly constructed building at the corner of Ill. Route 71 and Washington Street.

Due to the installation of the “Opus No. 2” equipment, the Ledger reported that beginning in early 1971, “Oswego will be the first community in the state to be offered four specialized telephone services: speed calling, conference calling, call forwarding and call waiting.”

50 years ago this month In its first “Progress” edition, the Ledger noted the numerous major construction projects then underway in the Oswego-Montgomery area. The projects included the construction of the Fox Bend Golf Course and Brookside Manor apartments in Oswego, and the pending opening of the new liquor mart at Paramount Heights grocery store near Montgomery.

Grimm’s Pharmacy in the Boulder Hill Market was having a special sale on portable record players that, according to an advertisement in the Ledger, were “Tops for teens and perfect for pops.”

60 years ago this month “If you haven’t driven up into the Boulder Hill subdivision lately, there are now some 15 or more homes finished with seven or eight of them occupied presently,” the Ledger reported.

Construction of the first homes in the subdivision had started earlier in 1955.

The Oswego Business Men’s Association received almost 400 entries in their “Why I Like to Live in Oswego” contest. First prize winner in the grade school division was Karla Saxon. Saxon

wrote: “I like to live in Oswego because of its locations. It is located on the beautiful Fox River and in the center of one of the best farming communities in our country.

“The people are all very friendly. They know each other very well. They share their problems and pleasure together. One can always depend on his neighbor to lend a helping hand in time of need. Traffic in town is seldom congested. The noise of heavy traffic is present only on the main highway. And that is why I like to live in Oswego.”

65 years ago this month The Halloween Fair at the Oswego school Oct. 28 was a “howling success,” the Ledger reported Nov. 2. “There were a record number of suppers sold.

The Halloween Parade Friday afternoon of the grade schoolers dressed in costume was lots of fun both for the pupils and the spectators,” the paper added.

Oswego Fire Chief Al Shuler announced that blue lights were being mounted on the front of all autos operated by members of the Oswego Volunteer Fire Department. “The lights will be in use only when firemen are proceeding to the scene of a fire. Motorists are requested to pull over to the curb whenever they see the blue lights and give the firemen the right of way,” according to the Ledger.

70 years ago this month Oswego area residents honored returning local war veterans with a “splendid Armistice Day program” in the gymnasium in the Red Brick School (now the site of the post office and Village

85 years ago this month This editorial comment appeared in the Record: “As soon as we return to good times, the few business houses that are left, we feel sure, will go on a strictly cash basis. It may not be then, it may be sooner. There would be less worry and enmity between the business man and customer in the business world if credit were abolished.”

120 years ago this month Kendall County and the rest of Northern Illinois were shaken by an earthquake. The Record reported, “The topic of conversation in Yorkville Thursday was the earthquake. Did you feel the shock? was a general inquiry. It happened about five o’clock in the morning, when sound sleepers were getting their best nap, and only wakeful ones were disturbed. But it is the evidence of a large number that Kendall county witnessed a ‘seismic’ disturbance, as the big papers have it, and it was enough to make things rattle in some houses and frighten a good many children. The quake was general over many of the Southern and Northern states and scientists think something caved in about the center of the earth and the crust slipped a trifle. No damage is reported. The Chicago Journal suggests that the shock was caused when Gov. Clarke put his foot down so heavily on the prize-fighters in Arkansas.”

Another report from the Record: “Marriage, the happiest of all earthly events, was entered into by a couple of this community the past week. It did not take place here, but at the Palmer House, Chicago. The ceremony, however, was performed by the Rev. W.A. Bass of this place. The wedding card reads: ‘Dr. William

T. Putt--M. Maud Hopkins.

Married Thursday, Nov. 14, 1895, Chicago. At home after December 1, Oswego, Illinois.’ According to reports, their wedding trip will include a visit to the Atlanta fair.”

125 years ago this month J.R. Marshall, Record publisher, commented in his weekly column, “The Republican Party was overwhelmingly defeated at the elections Nov. 4, and has not one crumb of comfort in any state in the union. While it was a Bull Run, it is not a Waterloo. We are whipped--not by the enemy, but by our own people. We are cleaned out by our own apathy and indifference.”

130 years ago this month “The old stone school house site was sold for $234 on the bid of Jonathan Hebrews for Sam Roberts,” the Record reported from Oswego on Nov. 11, 1885.

The Old Stone School, at Tyler and Monroe, had been gutted by fire the previous March, leading to the start of construction on a new school on the block bounded by Madison, Jackson, Monroe, and Jefferson streets.

That school, which would open in 1886, would be dubbed the Red Brick School by subsequent generations.

140 years ago this month The talk of the town in October of 1875 was that the number of eating places in Oswego had doubled. “Early Sutherland has

moved into his new quarters, which are fitted up in the best of style for the catering business,” the Record’s Oswego correspondent, Lorenzo Rank, reported.

“We now have two neat and tasty restaurants.”

10 years ago this month Oswego Village President Craig Weber said he was hopeful the village board would be able to select the site for a proposed new village hall in January. Weber told the Ledger-Sentinel that the village was having appraisals completed on the existing village hall property and some adjoining downtown properties also owned by the village.

Green Park), the Kendall County Record reported. However, a parade scheduled on Main Street was canceled due to rain. The Record’s Oswego correspondent described the event as follows: “The school band played appropriate selections. Certificates of merit were presented to the Oswego and NaAuSay (Township) soldiers and sailors. The Rev. Alan Darling gave a brief talk and Leonard Applequist of Aurora talked on the two World Wars.

The audience stood at attention at 10:59 while a volley was fired and taps were sounded.”

Success for Prairie Point Panther Fitness Challenge LEDGER–SENTINEL The Prairie Point Panther Fitness Challenge was a success. The students collected donations for two weeks, then participated in the fitness challenge on Friday, Oct. 2.

They danced, walked, exercised and ended their day with a celebratory spirit assembly. The kids warmed up to “Watch Me” and did pushups with their principals. The Panthers raised

$12,719. One hundred percent will go back to Prairie Point Elementary.

School District 308 works hard to be a primary source of information for the communities it serves, and those efforts are paying off, according to experts in school public relations.

The school district recently won four awards from the Illinois Chapter of the National School Public Relations Association for communication efforts with employees, parents and the public.

Bednarcik students surprised with coat donation

Bednarcik Junior High School was surprised by a visit from Aurora Salvation Army members Marc Smith and Rick Jorgensen, and Kiwanis member and city of Aurora Superintendent of Maintenance Services Joseph Hopp, who brought in 10 new coats for needy families on Friday, Oct. 30.

Many times, social workers may be aware of potential student and family needs. The hope is that Bednarcik families with specific needs like coats, mittens or other needs will contact Brenda Gullickson or Anna Deal, school social workers, to let them assist fami-

attention for the investment and efforts to communicate with staff members, parents and the public,” Superintendent Dr. Matthew Wendt said.

“We want to keep our stakeholders informed and remain transparent about what is occurring within the state’s seventh largest school district.

The website and our other publications speak to our commitment to improve and enhance communication.”

District 308 launched its redesigned website in January 2015. The website and winning publications are part of a commitment to educate and inform the community about District 308 news and events.

“Our redesigned district website gives students, teachers and taxpayers better access to a primary source of information,” said Brian Graves,

director of Communications and Public Relations.

“We utilized best practices and data-driven decisions to guide the building of the website, which has been recognized by our peer institutions as one of the best in the state,” added Graves, noting that the website provides the infrastructure to communicate school district news and information quickly and efficiently. “It is truly an honor.”

This is the second consecutive year District 308’s Department of Communications and Public Relations has been recognized in the INSPRA awards.

In 2014, the 2013-14 Annual Report was also recognized by both INSPRA and the National School Public Relations Association.

BOYS BOWLING SEASON PREVIEW

OYTF ROUNDUP

First-year coach joins Wolves at the lanes

8th-graders Super Bowl champions

By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com There are several new faces in both the Oswego and Oswego East boys’ bowling programs this year, starting with the Wolves’ new head coach, Frank Johnsen.

Johnsen, who has been coaching for about 20 years, has been an assistant coach at various high schools, but this is his first year as a varsity coach at Oswego East. He replaced Tim Ochoa, who is now the assistant coach.

“Coach Ochoa said he could get the kids up to that 150, 160 level, but was hoping to get them to that 200, 210 level to get to state,” Johnsen said. “So he approached me and asked me if I was interested in taking the varsity (head coaching) spot.”

So far, the transition for Johnsen has been an easy one.

“I love it,” Johnsen said. “It’s great. This group is like sponges. Everything I say to them, they just take it in, they try it and they find if it works. They are starting to believe in me, starting to get into the program and they are starting to see results.”

Junior Travis Sturk is Oswego East’s top returning player after he fell just short of making the Southwest Prairie’s All-Conference team, qualified out of the Bolingbrook Regional as an individual and missed qualifying for state by two pins at the Plainfield North Sectional.

“He was heart-broken (after coming so close to qualifying for state), but I think that really motivated him,” Johnsen said of Sturk, who bowled a 300 over the summer.

“He’s really excited about coming back this

year and really wants to get to state.”

Other returning bowlers for Oswego East are sophomore Troy Sliwa, junior Sean Benson and senior Triston Spangler.

The top newcomer is freshman Will Clark.

If Oswego thought it was young last year, the Panthers are even younger this year. There are just four returning bowlers from last year’s team that went 8-3 overall in duals and 4-3 in the SPC. “Things are going good so far,” Oswego head coach T.J. Arnold said. “At tryouts, we had two freshmen (Philip Schmidt and Trevor Rise) finish in the top seven, so that’s definitely encouraging.”

There are three seniors – Ed Mendez, Nick Ramos and Nick Jackson. Jackson was one of two All-Conference bowlers on the team last year. He and junior Parker Bradford, however, are still playing football for Oswego and will re-join the team once the season ends. Joey Preston is a returning sophomore, and two more tenthgrade newcomers include Daniel Schmalz and Jack Perkins.

“I’m looking forward to all of these guys leading us to a successful season,” Arnold said. “The key is to make sure we stay together mentally as a team.”

Both Oswego and Oswego East start the season on Saturday at Plainfield North’s Baker Kick Off Challenge Invite at the Brunswick Zone in Romeoville. The first SPC outing is against each other at Parkside Lanes on Nov. 17.

Last year, Minooka won the SPC tournament. Oswego went third at the tournament but placed second overall in the standings. Oswego East finished eighth.

BOYS SOCCER

Oswego East caps season with 6 wins, looks ahead

By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com The Oswego East boys’ soccer team agreed it had hoped for a better season in 2015, but the Wolves know there are brighter days ahead for the program.

The Wolves finished the year 6-13 overall and 2-5 in the Southwest Prairie Conference (seventh place). The season ended in the first round of the Class 3A Naperville North Regional, when the No. 17-seeded West Aurora topped No. 16 Oswego East, 2-0, in double overtime.

“The team, as a whole, had higher expectations,” Oswego East head coach Steve Szymanski said. “With that said, we only lose four seniors. Hopefully, the guys come back stronger and better.”

The four graduating seniors are goalkeeper Jake Leonard, midfielder Nick Huerter, defender/midfielder Cristian Cepeda and defender Arnold Arevalo.

“We are going to miss them a lot,” Szymanski said. “Arnold was a three-year starter who played 59 games – 56 as a starter – and was a big staple for us on defense. Jake finished the season strong in goal,

but we have a lot of good goalies coming up. Nick finally had a healthy season, and Cristian was a kid that got better as the season went on. He understood his role on the team and did a great job.”

After conference losses to Plainfield South and Minooka, the Wolves earned their first SPC win in a 3-2 double overtime decision to Plainfield East. The other league victory was in the last regular season game of the year – a 3-1 double overtime win against rival Oswego.

Plainfield North won the SPC this year, followed by Plainfield

season, sophomore Michael Waclaw is currently in seventh place in total points and assists for his career. Junior Victor Cuevas finished with six goals and one assist.

The JV team went 11-5-2 overall and 6-1 in conference (first place). The freshmen team ended up 13-4, 6-0 (won conference for the second straight season).

“We definitely have a lot of young talent coming up,” Szymanski said. “We have a lot of guys coming back, and they are ready to step into (the graduating seniors’) spots.”

Panthers battle in regional

The Oswego girls’ cross country team starts the Class 3A West Aurora Sectional at Stuart Sports Complex on Saturday. The Panthers finished in a tie for fifth place to qualify for state for the first time in 28 years.

‘We’ve had an amazing season’ • CROSS COUNTRY

Continued from page 16 Freshman Ava Weyrich (19:28) and sophomore Megan Berg (19:35) completed the Panther finishers.

“I really felt like we all found each other – that’s what we always do,” Pagone said. “It wasn’t as wet as I thought it would be. It was awesome to be able to see everyone and pack up.”

“We’ve had an amazing season and I’m happy, and I know the other girls are happy too,” Christensen said of their effort at sectionals.

In the boys’ race, Oswego junior Bennett Peterson and Oswego East junior Dylan Zangri both qualified individually for next weekend’s state meet. Peterson was eighth overall in 15:39, and Zangri finished 15th in 15:53.

“It was a good effort at the beginning at the race and conditions like this bring out the kids a little differently,” Oswego East boys’ coach Jim Milner said. “Dylan got himself in a good position to qualify.”

Neuqua Valley (26), Plainfield North (89), St. Charles East (125), Marmion (132) and Naperville Central (169) advance to state.

Oswego finished ninth and Oswego East placed 12th overall.

“They executed our plan well for the first mile and from there it was just a matter of moving up through the race and some moved up

Arevalo earned All-Conference honors, Honorable Mention All-Sectional and was voted Oswego East’s team MVP. Junior defender Spencer Moriarty was voted the winner of the Wolf Award for hard work and determination and junior defender Chris Niessner was voted the Wolves’ Most Improved Player.

Sophomore Manuel Magana led the Wolves in scoring with eight goals and one assist. With seven goals and six assists this

The Oswego boys’ soccer team had its share of highs and lows, injuries and having younger players step up on varsity this year. As a result, the Panthers ended up 4-15-1 overall and 1-6 in the Southwest Prairie Conference.

None of that mattered, however, in the Class 3A Bolingbrook Regional semifinal, when the Panthers pushed Metea Valley to double overtime. The Mustangs ended up ending Oswego’s season with a 1-0 loss.

“We’ve had our ups and downs. Our record means nothing,” Falli said. “We are a tough out – we’ve been a tough out for years. From where we came from the beginning of the year to now, we improved, and that’s what we look for.”

The Panthers had tough losses to Naperville Central, Plainfield Central and Batavia early on, but they earned their first win of the year in a 3-2 decision over Plainfield East. Oswego’s other wins were against East Aurora, Downers Grove

North and Glenbard South in the final regular season contest.

Plainfield North won the SPC this year, followed by Plainfield Central, Plainfield South, Minooka, Plainfield East, Romeoville, Oswego East and Oswego.

Senior defender Luke Moran was All-Conference as well as Honorable Mention All-Sectional. Sophomore forward Julian Ibarra led the Panthers with five goals and an assist, junior forward Mitch Kearby was next with four goals and two assists, followed by junior forward Adrian Veseli (four goals) and senior forward JC Mora (three goals).

Moran, Mora, defender Nathan Montgomery and forward Carlos Contreras are graduating. Seven starters, including the top three goal scorers, return next year.

“We had a lot of first-timers on varsity this year, and we took our lumps,” Falli said. “But in the end, we had something that worked. We’ll get to work in the off-season and get bigger, stronger and get ready for Aug. 24 next season. We are building for the future.”

This will be Peterson’s second trip to Peoria. Also finishing for Oswego, Collin Boone was the team’s second runner in 28th place with a time of 16:04, followed by Mitch Bradford in 16:27 and David Gaytan in 16:33 while Jackson Simon clocked in at 16:33.

“They raced tough and gave it what they had,” Oswego East girls’ coach Lisa Cook said. “All three of them ran within themselves. We want to get a team back here and looking to get to the state meet and not just get out of our regional. The three who raced have been working their butts off all season and we couldn’t ask anything more from them.”

Vietnam vet was on medical mission Plano man aided soldiers and orphans

By DAN WAITT dwaitt@shawmedia.com

O

f all of the key battles and historical milestones that happened during the Vietnam War, the thing veteran Larry Richmond wants people to know about is one that seemed to garner little attention at the time: The MEDCAP program – or Medical Civic Action Program – that delivered much-needed medical supplies, personnel and attention to the South Vietnamese population.

And the MEDCAPs were American service personnel who volunteered for the program.

“We went into the villages and gave out free medical care,” Richmond said. “There were an amazing amount of children who were left orphans who did not have anything.”

The group Richmond worked with was in six provinces in an area called the Plain of Reeds.

“They would be waiting for us to come and we would take them back into their villages.”

Richmond, 68, of Plano, was a combat medic in the U.S. Army’s 9th Infantry Division, HQ A Company.

He was drafted among a 550,000-troop push by then-President Lyndon Johnson in 1967.

“We were all just punks. We got drafted right out of high school,” Richmond said.

“I was over there for three campaigns,” Richmond said. He left the service in 1969 as a Spec 5 combat medic.

His work with MEDCAP was part of a lengthy stay in Vietnam that included combat duty as a medic.

Richmond is among a number of veterans who are scheduled to share their experiences during a

Dan Waitt - dwaitt@shawmedia.com

Larry Richmond, 68, of Plano, served as a combat medic in the U.S. Army’s 9th Infantry Division, HQ A Company. special veterans program Nov. 15 at Chapel on the Green in Yorkville.

As a solider who has seen the ravages of war firsthand, Richmond said he still wonders about some of the decisions the government makes when it comes to international conflicts.

“They haven’t learned anything from all these what I call ‘meat grinders,’” Richmond said. “You can’t fight a war and establish a government.”

Richmond returned home in 1969. “Everybody wanted to keep a low profile,” he said. “Guys didn’t want to talk about it.”

Much time has passed, and with it, many of the wounds of an unpopular war have healed.

But not all.

When he greets a fellow Vietnam veteran, the salutation is a familiar one.

“We always say ‘welcome home’ because we never got that,” he said.

As the years have passed, Richmond says respect for Vietnam veterans has generally increased.

“I don’t think anyone feels any negativity,” he said.

Events like the Viet-

nam Veterans Moving Wall – which has appeared in many area communities – have helped foster a greater understanding of the war, and the sense of loss that service personnel at the time felt for their colleagues who did not come home.

Richmond was in the central highlands, and later near Saigon and Dong tam, a base camp in the Mekong Delta.

His most prized possession from wartime is his combat medic’s badge. “Anytime you see something with a wreath around it, that means it’s combat,” he said.

As an Army medic, Richmond had one corner to stash his gear in an armored personnel carrier.

He was among the first responders to assist fallen servicemen in battle; to launch colored smoke bombs to guide the helicopter pilots to landing zones to ferry the wounded to field hospitals or on to Saigon for more extensive treatment.

“I will tell you what, if it wasn’t for those helicopter pilots, if it hadn’t have been for those dust-offs

[helicopters] out there, we would have lost a lot more men. I have nothing but respect for those flight warrant officers.”

Richmond’s group would go out with the division and perform field triage. “We were assignment medics. It’s almost like first aid. Getting them on the dust-off [helicopter], getting them secured, and

getting them out of there.”

Richmond said he continues to hear misconceptions about the role of American soldiers in Vietnam.

In addition to programs like MEDCAP, the Americans interacted with the South Vietnamese people.

craftsman.

“One of the things that people don’t realize is that we all had jobs to do,” Richmond said. “It’s not all fighting and shooting.”

At the time of his discharge, Richmond was making $249 a month, which included combat and hazardous duty pay.

Richmond retired as an operations manager in the trucking industry.

He often speaks to young people in area schools and finds them generally interested and respectful about what he has to say.

“A lot of them the first question they ask me is ‘Did I ever kill anyone?’”

Richmond said. Others will ask him what they ate for dinner. “I tell them you don’t want to know.”

Richmond makes an effort to keep in touch with a fellow serviceman he met in Dong Tam. He and Bob Klimka of Somerset, Massachusetts, have remained good friends over the years after Richmond was able to locate the now-retired physical education teacher.

“I called him up and said, ‘It’s your old Beatles buddy,’” Richmond said.

“One night we were singing ‘Yellow Submarine’ and we had guys offering to pay us to stop.”

Iraq veteran made lifetime connections ‘Brotherhood’ is theme for Oswego man

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcontynow.com

A

dam Stefanik might not have met his wife, Courtney, if he hadn’t joined the Marine Corps and gone to Iraq.

The Oswego resident was just 19 when he joined the military and went to Iraq.

“We were in Iraq and we were at a computer lab and one of the guys on my tank – he was my driver – was on this Facebook or Myspace,” he said.

Stefanik noticed the picture his friend was looking at of a girl who turned out to be his friend’s sister.

“From that day I was giving him a hard time, telling him I was going to marry his sister and I had never even met her or anything,” he said. “Well, years later, I came home after my deployment and spent some time with my family and then went out there and met her and pretty much stayed in touch with her.”

They started dating shortly after, eventually got

married and now have two young children.

Stefanik said he decided to join the Marines because his father had served in the Marines.

“I always wanted to serve my country from the beginning since I’ve seen my father,” Stefanik said.

He joined in 2005 and he went to boot camp in October 2005. After 13 weeks he graduated and went for training. He was in the Second Tank Battalion and did three deployments before getting out in September 2010.

The first thing that comes to mind when he reflects on his service is all the friends he made.

“It’s not just like a friend, it’s more like what we call a brotherhood,” he said. “I’m actually closer to those guys then people I grew up with.”

Stefanik says there are about 10 people he includes in that inner circle of veterans that still keep in touch every day and help each other out.

“When I got married they all flew down,” he said.

“I still talk to them on a daily basis and we know that if anybody needs any help we would not even hesitate.”

He said that civilians should keep in mind the sacrifices that veterans

make when serving their country.

“People find out that I’m a veteran and they always say thank you and stuff like that, which is always nice, but I don’t always like to be thanked because it wasn’t really something I had to do, it was something that I wanted to do,” he said.

“There’s a lot of individuals out there that don’t get recognized for other things that they’ve done or sacrificed.”

Veterans are given discounts and acknowledged, but he said people don’t really focus on military members and veterans that have retired after a while and they don’t get as much recognition.

He said that people focus on the new veterans but not the older ones.

“It’s sometimes the people that did it before us that set the tone for what we are doing,” he said.

Stefanik adds that he feels joining the military helped him grow up and appreciate things.

“Many civilians don’t even know how good they have it. They complain that it’s cold outside or that they have to walk to the bus station or train station when you have military members out there that are doing way more,” he said.

Adam Stefanik (right) of Oswego enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2005 and went on to complete three deployments in Iraq.

He served with the Second Tank Battalion.

Stefanik adds that it bugs him when people mix up Veterans Day and Memorial Day. He said he sees Veterans Day as something for veterans. It’s nice to get things like free meals at restaurants or have the day

off and be acknowledged for their service, but it is their day and he prefers to spend it with the people that know what he went through, he adds.

“I usually spend the day with other veterans,” he said. “You can always talk

about more with people who have actually been there and done. When people think of veterans, they think of older people who have served and might not remember the younger guys who have just come back and served.”

War marked by brutal weather, bed bugs Korean War vet from Yorkville: ‘You could smell the garlic’ on Chinese soldiers

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com

W

hen Yorkville resident Jerry Sperry recalls his time fighting in the Korean War, he thinks about bed bugs.

Sperry, 83, is a veteran of the Korean War who was awarded the Purple Heart after he was wounded three separate times in combat. Sperry fought as a member of the Marine Corps at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir in November and December 1950 during a brutal winter when the temperatures dropped to 35 degrees below zero. It was there he was introduced to bed bugs.

“When they wanted to give me bed bugs, I thought they were going to turn them loose in my sleeping bag,” he said.

“You carried bed bugs around in a little vial and they could tell you when a [Chinese soldier] was around,” Sperry said. “I don’t know how it worked, I just know that you kept the vial in your right hand to keep it warm and when you are going forward those bed bugs could tell you – they would get crazy inside that vial.”

Sperry still recalls the brutally cold weather and how the Chinese soldiers’ feet swelled up because of the frostbite.

“Their feet were bigger than footballs from being frozen and they would come down in hordes. The first line that would come down would have weapons and as soon as they got [killed] the second line would pick up their weapons and keep on coming,” Sperry remembers. “They got so close you could smell the garlic on them.”

Sperry wanted to join the Marines at the age of 16 and convinced his mother to sign off on his enlistment.

“I went into the Marine Corps, man, because that was one of the best things you could do,” he

After receiving basic training, Sperry became a supply sergeant and was shipped to Korea in July 1950. When he was wounded, he received his first Purple Heart.

He was then sent to Japan and returned to Korea in November 1950, earning his second and third Purple Hearts in that tour, and received a battlefield promotion to corporal.

“I still carry a piece of shrapnel around in my right arm,” he said.

He was shot two times and was in a bayonet fight with a Chinese soldier that he doesn’t like to talk about.

“Anyone that has been in a combat zone they know what it’s all about,” he said. “If you haven’t been in a combat zone, you don’t know what it is.

When bullets are flying and tracers are screaming and they send mortars in

after you it’s kind of scary, and anybody that’s been in a combat position knows what we’re talking about.

We had to do it, that was the orders.”

When asked about war and how civilians can understand it, Sperry replied, “I hope they never know what it is. It’s hell on wheels.”

Sperry and others were brought to the front line as riflemen because the Marines’ ranks were running low. Sperry was made a rifleman with Baker Company First Battalion Fifth Marines.

“I was in supply but then men got short so we had to grab a rifle,” he said. “We didn’t have the manpower, a lot of our platoons were annihilated and we had to fill in anyway we could, so we took cooks and office personnel and supply people and stuck them right on the front lines.”

Sperry stresses that schools need to teach kids about past wars and about

the world, especially geography.

“Get in the schools and teach the kids where Korea is, where Vietnam is, where Fallujah is,” he said.

He admits he didn’t know where Korea was as a 16-year-old kid from the Midwest.

“The Marine Corps sure as hell taught me where it was,” Sperry said. “I was just one person trying to save the U.S.” Sperry explained that he doesn’t think it’s right that he, his fellow soldiers and today’s men and service women fight in wars and then jobs and manufacturing work are outsourced to the counties they fought against.

“These politicians... for instance [Bruce] Rauner, our governor – he outsourced all his businesses and he’s a millionaire or a billionaire. And what does that do to the people who live in this country and try to support it? Not much, not much,” Sperry said.

SALUTE TO VETERANS 5

VAC offers helping hand

Donald McDowell served as night patrol forward observer

Organization aids veterans in county

• McDOWELL

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com For veterans returning home the Veterans Assistance Commission of Kendall County provides a much-needed helping hand.

The VAC provides financial assistance with groceries and other basic needs to veterans, as well as help with paperwork for federal and state benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The commission also provides transportation to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ Edward Hines Jr. Hospital for some veterans.

Chad Lockman, assistant VAC superintendent, says the mission of the organization is broad because there is such a wide variety of issues veterans face.

“Even if it’s just to talk, none of us are licensed social workers. We’re veterans ourselves, and we can relate and we also have resources we can refer them to,” Lockman said.

Veterans that need assistance can run the gamut from young to old, rich and poor. The one thing they all have in common is that they need help, Lockman said.

The organization serves about 1,300 veterans and there are an estimated 7,500 veterans in Kendall

County that haven’t reached out to the VAC. The late Arnold Bitterman, founder, petitioned the Kendall County Board in 2002 to allow him to start the commission. In May 2002, the board passed a resolution creating the VAC and in December of that year Bitterman was sworn in as the first superintendent. The commission is overseen by a 13-member committee comprised of delegates from various veterans’ organizations in the county.

Since 2002 the VAC has received accreditation from the Department of Veterans Affairs before opening an office in the basement of the Historic Kendall County Courthouse.

Lockman says they help veterans deal with the Veterans Affairs department.

“The VA is a very tough bureaucracy to navigate and we’re specially trained to navigate that,” he said.

“The biggest thing we have seen in the last year or so are our veterans coming in who are having problems with their insurance and health care, particularly enrolling in the VA health care system.”

The unemployment rate among veterans remains high in Illinois and nationwide, and Lockman adds that the VAC also tries to help veterans find jobs. There is a representative from the Illinois Department of Employment Services at the office once a week to assist veterans who are seeking employment and might have barriers to finding a job.

“The [civilian] work environment is completely different and any veteran is going to experience that difference coming back out of the military working in the civilian world,” he said.

Employers are sometimes hesitant to consider veterans, Lockman says, even if they say they want to hire them.

“From my experience a lot of employers will say, ‘We’re veteran friendly, we want to hire veterans,’ but then either the vets are not qualified or, in my opinion, they’re scared to hire veterans because of the whole stigma with PTSD,” he said.

He said that is unfortunate but employers shouldn’t be afraid of hiring veterans.

“The ones who are seeking treatment definitely should be given a chance,” Lockman said. “An employer can’t ask you what you suffer from or if you are seeking treatment, but if they present well and have a good resume they should be given just as much of an opportunity as a civilian.”

Lockman said that veterans tend to seek out help as they get older, adding that nationwide there has been an influx of Gulf War veterans but not many from Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom.

“They’re younger guys, they don’t feel like they have any problems, they don’t want help. Similar to Vietnam, the way they were treated when they came back, none of them wanted anything to do with the VA.”

Continued from page 1 it was when his unit was on the Rhine River at Boppard, Germany, doing roadside patrol.

“The Germans were dressing some of their people up in American uniforms from captured or killed Americans and they were sneaking into our lines and when we found out about it we started having code words for a day,” McDowell said.

McDowell said they were ordered to shoot anyone dressed in an American uniform who couldn’t come up with the code word.

“If you discover them, shoot them because they’re spies,” McDowell recalls being told. “So I didn’t have a guilty conscience about doing it.”

McDowell still remembers standing along the road as a jeep came along carrying a colonel and his driver.

“I stopped him and I asked him what the code word for the day was, and he mumbled and stumbled and I said, ‘Colonel, you better pop up with the answer or you’re going to be a goddamn dead man.’ And I had my gun out,” McDowell recalls.

The colonel’s driver panicked and shouted out the code to his superior.

“If he didn’t come up with the code word, I would have shot him,” he recalled, adding that he was about three seconds from pulling the trigger.

“I had my hand on the trigger.”

McDowell says his time in World War II deeply affected him and how he sees life and war.

“I knew that I had been in something terribly important to our country but, of course, it took me a couple of months to really straighten out because I was so used to living under tension,” McDowell said. “My father he told me that one night I was pounding on the wall and he said he thought I was going to break holes in

“We had occasions where we were shot at by our own people because we were so far out ahead of them. I was on a railroad track and I laid down between the rails and I hollered out, ‘Stop shooting, you dumb bastards, we’re your own!’”

the wall the way I was punching it with my fists.

I don’t remember it. I was graced – I should have been dead at least two or three times I can think of and I thank God … I think he had his hand on my shoulder a lot.”

When asked what he thinks about war, McDowell read from a speech he used to give to high schools at assemblies.

He read, “One of the paradoxes in many wars had been the plea to God by the contending forces to be victorious.

You would wonder, if both sides claim they are righteous, which side God would be on. War is a total waste. I mean look at the billions and billions, even trillions, of dollars that have been spent on war which essentially have accomplished nothing accept death and destruction, terror and mayhem and the loss of American life,” McDowell said.

He added that he is not anti-war but believes it should only be used in very rare situations as a last resort when a country has been attacked or actual invasion on their own soil, “then you defend your country to the death.”

SALUTE TO VETERANS 7

Snapshots of WWII veterans part of exhibit During World War II, Alva Shuler, owner of Shuler’s Drugstore in downtown Oswego, honored the many local men and women who were serving in our nation’s armed forces by displaying their photos inside his store at 68 Main Street.

Years later Alva Shuler’s son, Chuck, found the photos and donated them to the Little White School Museum at Jackson and Polk streets in the village. The photos will be part of a special exhibit, “Remembering Our Veterans” that will open this Sunday, Nov. 8, and continue through Nov. 15.

Bill (right) and John “Jack” Wayne were brothers from Oswego Township who served in the U.S. Navy during World War II.

Louis E. Bacino (1925-1998) served in the U.S. Army Airforce from Nov. 29, 1943, to Nov. 8, 1945. He was assigned to the 8th Air Force, 389th Bomb Group, 565th Squadron as a nose gunner in a Consolidated B-24 Liberator heavy bomber. He flew 24 missions over Germany, among them Brunswick, Barshalling, Maydeburg, Bielfield, Jungenthel, Koblenze and Choz.

Uniforms worn by servicemen and servicewomen from the Oswego area, along with other military artifacts, will be featured in a special display at the Little White School Museum at Jackson and Polk streets in Oswego. The exhibit opens this Sunday, Nov. 8, and will continue through Nov. 15.

Special exhibit remembers veterans SHAW MEDIA Oswego’s Little White School Museum invites all area residents to visit the museum’s annual “Remembering our Veterans” special exhibit, expanded this year to a full week at the museum, 72 Polk St. (Jackson at Polk), just two blocks from historic downtown Oswego.

The exhibit will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Saturday, Nov. 8, through Sunday, Nov. 15. In addition this year, the exhibit will be open until 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 11, which is Veterans Day. Admission is free, but donations are always gratefully accepted.

Assistant museum director Bob Stekl said that after last year’s successful event, the museum staff decided to

extend the annual special exhibit for a full week to give all community residents a chance to attend.

“In addition to the longer hours on Veterans Day, we are also adding a special members-only preview on Friday, Nov. 7, from noon to 4 p.m.,” Stekl said. The preview is open to all members of the Oswegoland Heritage Association and specially invited guests. Memberships will be available for purchase at the museum during the special open house, as well as during the entire run of the exhibit.

The extensive “Remembering Our Veterans” exhibit completely fills the historic building’s main room, and includes hundreds of rarely seen artifacts, photographs and documents from the museum’s collections, with direct connections to Oswegoland

residents who served from the Civil War through the current conflicts in the Middle East and Afghanistan. In addition, each year’s exhibit features a “Wall of Honor” recognizing the service of local military personnel.

This year’s exhibit will again feature a special section devoted to Oswegoland military personnel from the Civil War through Vietnam who were killed in action, along with digital photo presentations featuring Oswegoland residents who served in the Korean conflict and the Vietnam War that will run continuously during the weeklong exhibit.

“Can you call mom or dad and ask ‘em to bail me out. The food here is horrible! They picked me up for jaywalking at Linden / Liszka.”

“Does anyone know the owner of this dog, found near Presidential Dr? After reading him his rights, he refuses to give up any information...”

“Apparently this pooch though we were hiring for the K-9 position, we have nothing available at the time. She is a very friendly Husky mix with one brown and one blue eye. Please help us locate her family, found near 743 Churchill Lane, Oswego.”

“Are you my owner? I was dropped off at the Oswego Police Department by an anonymous Good Samaratin, so it is unknown where in Oswego I was found. The police officers nicknamed me Bitey because I tried to bite them and the microchip scanner they tried to use on me. I am probably a good dog but just nervous that I am lost. If you are my owner I am now at Kendall County Animal Control in Yorkville.”

I

t’s a dog owner’s worst nightmare – they look around the backyard and realize their pooch has bolted out of the yard and is missing.

Fortunately, the Oswego Police Department has been using a new tool in their efforts to reunite lost dogs and their fretful owners: Facebook.

The tactic seems to work. According to Cathy Nevara, the police department’s public information officer, of 22 Facebook postings the department has done on lost dogs this year alone, 16 of the animals have

been reunited with their owners.

“When we do get a dog that comes in, we’ll scan it to see if there is a chip and if there is we will contact that owner,” Nevara said.

Police will then hold onto the dogs for a little while and post up their photos on Facebook along with a small caption before the animal is transferred to Kendall County Animal Control in Yorkville.

The department has some cages and officers will provide dogs water and treats while they are being held at the station.

Some of the Facebook posts by officers are humorous.

Police Chief Jeff Burgner said the officers are free to write the posts and have come up with some creative and fun ways to get people’s attention online.

“We have a number of officers here that are authorized to do posts and have been given some direction and parameters,” he said. “We have some officers that get a lot of good comments and feedback.”

Diabetes screening to be Nov. 12 at Yorkville site SHAW MEDIA In recognition of Diabetes Month, Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers is offering free diabetes screenings from 6:30 to 8:30 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, at locations in Yorkville, Channahon, Coal City, Dwight, Morris and Ottawa.

The finger-stick diabetes screenings will provide instant results that indicate whether a person has diabetes or prediabetes, meaning the blood sugar level is higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as Type 2 diabetes.

Screenings will be offered at the Morris Hospital Yorkville Campus, 105 Saravanos Drive, Yorkville; the Morris Hospital Ridge Road Campus, 27240 W. Saxony Drive, Channahon; Family Physicians of Coal City, 935 E. Division St., Coal City; Dwight Healthcare Center of Morris Hospital, 101 S. Prairie Ave., Dwight; Morris Hospital main lobby, 150 W. High St., Morris; and Liberty Medical Center, 827 E. Norris Drive, Ottawa.

A 10- to 12-hour fast is recommended prior to the screening for accurate results. A certified diabetes educator will be present at the screening held at Morris Hospital to answer questions about the results.

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the way the body metabolizes sugar.

According to American Diabetes Association, in 2012, 9.3 percent of the American population had diabetes, up from 8.3 percent in 2010. While there is no cure for diabetes, proper management of the condition can often help avoid serious health complications, including heart disease, blindness, kidney failure and lower-limb amputations.

The American Diabetes Association recommends diabetes screenings for anyone over the age of 45. If the results are normal, screenings should be repeated every three years.

Screenings are also recommended for individuals younger than age 45 who have a body mass index over 25 and additional diabetes risk factors, such as high blood pressure, a sedentary lifestyle, a history of polycystic ovary syndrome, having delivered a baby who weighed more than 9 pounds, a history of diabetes in pregnancy, high cholesterol levels, a history of heart disease, or having a close relative with diabetes.

Appointments are not needed. For information, call Morris Hospital’s Diabetes Education Center at 815-705-7367.

“Do you know me? I was found in the St. Anne’s parking lot off of Boulder Hill Pass. I am very friendly, and was checked for a microchip. I will be taken care of at Kendall County Animal control. Please notify my owners if you know them.” officers would corral stray dogs, load them into their squad cars, and then take them directly to the county animal control facility.

The department also keeps a file on owners who have reported lost or missing animals that includes a record of the description and location the pet was last seen. Nevara said they

have received 51 reports this year of lost animals and the department was notified that 14 of those had been found.

And, as with humans, Burgner noted that police have had some repeat pet offenders.

“We’ve had a few times where we will come across the same dog,” he said.

KENDALL COUNTY COURT CASES • David S. Langford, 30, of the 600 block Old Indian Trail, Aurora, entered a guilty plea to a charge of obstructing identification and driving on a suspended license stemming from a traffic stop Sept. 15 in the 0-99 block of Marnel Road in Oswego Township, Kendall County Court documents said.

According to reports, Langford gave a false name to a deputy and said he did not know he had outstanding warrants. According to court documents, Langford was sentenced to 30 days in the Kendall County jail and 18 months of probation, and he must pay fines and court costs.

• Anna K. Mastorgio, 21, of the 3300 block of Silver City Court, Montgomery, was charged with domestic battery in connection with an incident Sept. 15, Kendall County Court documents said. According to reports, Mastorgio is accused of pushing a female family member in the chest with her hands, throwing apples at the victim and pulling her hair, causing the victim to fall to the ground. Bond was set at $1,000 and a court date of Nov. 12 was scheduled.

• Mustafa Ali, 28, of the 200 block of North Fourth Street, Aurora, was charged with unlawful delivery of cannabis in connection

Continued from page 1 Police also share their lost animal posts on the Illinois Lost Dog Facebook page. Nevara says social media has helped bring law enforcement closer to the community and everyone loves dogs.

“We’ll get like 30,000 hits on a dog post,” Nevara said. “But that’s great because if something really does happen and we need to get something out to the public, we’ll have that.”

Nevara added that sometimes a dog’s owner or a neighbor will come across the post and they are able to stop by the station and get their dog.

“We do what we can to reunite them, absolutely, but that’s Animal Control’s job. We do what we can but we don’t have facilities here to house them for any length of time,” he said.

“It’s nice when we can reunite them.”

“With using Facebook we definitely increase the odds of finding homes for those dogs,” Burgner said.

“It shows that we are not out there just arresting people and writing tickets.

We are definitely out there trying to help our community and part of that job is reuniting people with their pets.”

WCC trustee will leave after 23 years SHAW MEDIA Waubonsee Community College Trustee Jim Pilmer has tendered his resignation from the Board of Trustees after 23 years of service. The resignation will be effective Nov. 8.

In a letter dated Oct. 21, Pilmer cited his recent appointment as executive director of the Fox Valley Park District as reason for his resignation.

“In my new leadership role at this public institution, I will need to focus all of my energy and efforts into this endeavor and the residents served by the district,” he said.

Pilmer was first elected to the board in November 1992, but his history with Waubonsee has spanned decades. He enrolled in the college in August 1978 as a student athlete, graduated from Waubonsee in 1981 and then began volunteering for the Alumni Association beginning in 1982. He has also served on the Waubonsee Foundation Board of Directors from 1985-1992, serving as vice president from 1988-1989 and president from 1989-1992.

“Without question, Waubonsee has given far more to me than I could ever give back in return,” he said.

“It has been my honor and privilege to be affiliated with such a vital and vibrant educational institu-

tion. I have been inspired by the students, faculty, administrators and fellow board members past and present who always motivated me to strive for good governance, prudent and responsible policy making and collaboration among our key stakeholders.”

Pilmer Jim Pilmer was recently announced as the new executive director of the Fox Valley Park District. He will serve as the sixth director in the park district’s 68 years, and will begin his new role on Nov. 9.

The Waubonsee Community College Board of Trustees will appoint someone to fill the board vacancy for the remainder of Pilmer’s term of service, which ends in 2017.

“Mr. Pilmer’s presence on the board will be missed, but the impact of his decades of service to Waubonsee will continue to benefit the college indefinitely,” said Waubonsee President Dr. Christine Sobek. “We are grateful for the guidance and leadership he has provided for many years and in many roles, and we know that his talents will continue to serve our region in his new role with the Fox Valley Park District.”

DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD THE TRUTH? Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” So Pilate asks, 38 “What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them, “I find no guilt in Him.” (John 18:37-38).

AUTOMATIC HOME STANDBY GENERATORS

Pilate’s question indicates that he believes that truth is personal, (individual belief). Many today feel this same way. People say, “We just can’t see things alike, you believe your way and I’ll believe mine, as long as we believe in God!” In other words, truth is dependent on how YOU see it.

Is this the right attitude toward truth, or is it just a selfish and lazy view of truth?

Truth is God’s inspired Word (2 Timothy 3:16-17).Truth is the good news that hope exists, not in what man says, but in a humble Savior who died for our sins. Truth is pure, but men have corrupted “truth” with their Creeds and catechisms for centuries and the result has been anything but truth. When need to go back to the Bible and nothing else, because that is the only place where we can find the truth!

Let God tell you what the right attitude toward truth is; 2 Corinthians 13:5 Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you-unless indeed you fail the test? Acts 17:11 And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.

Those with the wrong attitude toward the truth are not willing to do any of the above; they “fail the test.” Isn’t a right attitude toward truth

defined by considering views that are different from your own and test them by the Scriptures to see if they are true? Your eternal soul depends on it!

First Lutheran donates books overseas

Church donates to A.I.D. Adam’s House

SHAW MEDIA Fifth-grade student Laila Anderson thought it would be a good idea for her Sunday School class to embark on a community service project.

She worked with the Sunday School and the Social Concerns Committee at the First Lutheran Church of Plano and a book project was chosen.

To celebrate First Lutheran’s 132nd anniversary, each church member was challenged to bring in one book and the goal was set for 132 books. Church members shattered the goal and donated 558 books to the project.

The books will be donated to Archbishop Porter Girls Secondary School in Ghana and the Q-1 English Elementary School in Taiwan.

Series to explore options for small acres Invasive pest workshops SHAW MEDIA The University of Illinois Extension’s local foods and small farms team is sponsoring a series of workshops on a variety of topics to help people who have a few acres learn ways to put them to use.

Dates and locations for the 201516 workshop series, “Putting Small Acres to Work,” were recently announced.

The workshops will be offered between Dec. 5 and April 2 at four locations throughout Illinois. Topics and presenters will vary at each location.

Topics at some locations may include: social media; small flock poultry; asparagus; pumpkins; brambles

and chain saw safety; managing wildlife; how to grow a hobby into a farm business; hops; small orchards; organic/low-input vegetable gardening; sheep; ducks; and composting for livestock producers.

“Putting a few extra acres to work can bring in additional income, provide an opportunity to experiment with a new enterprise, or develop an interest or hobby for its educational or entertainment value,” said University of Illinois Extension local foods and small farms educator Deborah Cavanaugh-Grant.

“How to get started is the question,” she added.

Workshops will be held on the following dates:

Dec. 5, NIU Rockford Conference Center, Rockford; Dec. 5, 4-H Memorial Camp, Monticello; March 12, Greenville College, Greenville; April 2, Kankakee Community College, Kankakee.

“You don’t have to own hundreds of acres to create a profitable business,” Cavanaugh-Grant said. “We developed these workshops to help people realize the possibilities that a few acres can provide.”

Visit the workshop website, go.illinois.edu/SmallAcres, for more information on speakers and topics and to register. For more information about the series, contact Cavanaugh-Grant at 217-782-4617 or cvnghgrn@illinois.edu.

to begin in Jan. in state SHAW MEDIA University of Illinois Extension has announced the dates for the 2016 Illinois First Detector Invasive Pest Workshops covering important landscape and nursery pests, diseases, and invasive plants. Workshops will be offered at eight locations beginning in January.

Early detection and response is key in managing invasive pests. The Illinois First Detector Workshops, now in their fourth year,

are aimed at improving first detector training and invasive species awareness.

They will cover new topics on current and emerging invasive plants, pathogens, and insects, along with updates on previous topics.

“We are looking forward to another year of First Detector Workshops and are excited about sharing these new topics with participants,” said Kelly Estes, state survey coordinator.

Smile! It Will Make You and Others Happy!

Light in a messenger’s eyes brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones.

Proverbs 15:30

There is a very interesting psychology experiment where you trick people into either smiling or frowning without their knowing it (by telling them to hold a pencil either in their teeth, to make them smile, or with their pursed lips, to make them frown), and while they hold that facial position you tell them a joke. Those who are holding the smile usually rate the joke as being funnier, presumably because they are already halfway laughing to start with. The moral of the experiment, if experiments can be said to have a moral, is that our bodies often take the lead in making us feel happy or sad, or calm or anxious. Droopy, lackadaisical posture will make you feel defeated while standing up tall and strong will make you feel like a winner. So smile, even when you don’t feel much like smiling, or perhaps especially when you don’t feel much like smiling. And an added benefit to smiling is that it tends to spread the happiness. Have an attitude and a countenance that is worth catching.

- Christopher Simon

The featured speaker is Douglas Stotz, conservation ecologist and ornithologist at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, who will talk about the changes taking place in the area as a result of warming temperatures from climate change.

Increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere already have caused flora and fauna in the upper Midwest to adapt to the changing climate and warmer temperatures.

Stotz will focus on changes in timing of bird migration and breeding, and the wintering and breeding range of birds in the Chicago area. About 7 million birds make their

when they are sparse, such as individual plants along field edges or in home landscapes, is the one of the most expedient and environmentally-friendly control methods. You can dig, pull or chop the plants out of the ground. Buckthorn pulls out most easily when it is small, up to only about one-half inch diameter.

If cutting off the plants, remember that although buckthorn doesn’t resprout from underground roots, many cut stumps usually do resprout. Treating the stumps of the cut plants with herbicides has provided successful control.

Foliage that resprouts on the stumps can be treated with herbicides or fire for several growing seasons. “Girdling” the main stems of larger plants can also help with control.

Proper pesticide application licenses and following all label precautions are needed if using the herbicides. Researchers at the Illinois Natural History Survey at the University of Illinois suggest that regular prescribed burning may be helpful in larger areas.

More information about buckthorn is available from INHS at wwx.inhs. illinois.edu/research/vmg.

Seasonal Allergies

Affecting Your Life?

Each year seasonal allergies continue to get worse. People who have never had allergies in the past are all of the sudden suffering from seasonal allergies.

There are many common symptoms from allergies such as: runny nose, itchy eyes and throat, swollen eyes, fatigue…

What most people don’t know is that allergies lead to other (secondary) problems as well: sinus infections, pneumonia, chronic cough, upper respiratory infections, ear infections…

If the allergies can be stopped, then the secondary conditions…may never start. Do you have to change your lifestyle due to your allergies? Are you avoiding going outdoors during certain times of the year? Do your allergies dictate your social calendar? Are allergies affecting your sleep? Are you tired of being sick? Allergy testing and treatment may be your answer.

Once you know what you are allergic to, you can now avoid that allergen. You can also receive treatment for the allergies through a desensitization process that will teach your body to stop reacting to the ragweed, grasses, trees, etc.

There are two forms of treatment: Traditional allergy injections or Self-administered treatment in your home Farah Malik, MD provides both options for her patients. Most patients choose the self-administered treatment in their home as it is more convenient, less painful, and less expensive. Allergy testing and treatment is covered by most all insurance companies (Medicaid excluded). Dr. Malik has been providing allergy treatment for more than 2 years and nearly every patient has responded well as evidenced by the results with repeat the allergy skin testing and overall reduced allergy symptoms.

1128 Douglas Rd., Oswego in Mason Square North.

Listening and understanding your dental needs, she will make you feel at ease.

Evenings and Saturday appointments are available.

We look forward to meeting you!

VIEWS John Church

Seasonal allergy testing is traditionally performed with a “skin test.” This test puts a small amount of different allergens (such as ragweed, pollen, dust mites, grasses, etc.) in liquid form onto your skin and the doctor measures your skin reaction. This is a painless 20 minute test that we perform in our office. We test the 70 most common Midwest allergens.

Dentistry for the Entire Family

Dr. Erika Krouth is a member of the Oswego Chamber, the Illinois State Dental Society, and Past President of the Aurora Dental Society.

Now we have had a couple frosts and most of the leaves have fallen, it becomes easier to identify invasive plants in the landscape, such as buckthorn and honeysuckle.

These plants have become some of the biggest invasive pests in many of the wooded and natural areas in our area.

Controlling invasive plant species is one aspect of The Conservation Foundation’s Conservation@Home program.

Fall can be a good time to identify buckthorn plants, since the leaves tend to stay green and attached later in the fall than many other similar shrubs. It can also be a good time for removal since it may be easier to maneuver in wooded areas while other plants are dormant.

In natural areas, the exotic buckthorn species shade or crowd out native vegetation, potentially leaving bare soil exposed and susceptible to excessive erosion, especially on slopes and near streams and rivers.

When the more desirable shrubs and plants are choked out, it can reduce food supplies for wildlife and create dense barriers for animals, and humans, to try to travel through.

To learn more about such invasives and their control, you may be interested in attending one of the upcoming volunteer restoration work days at the new Dayton Bluffs Preserve near Ottawa from 9 a.m. to noon on the second Saturday of each month. For more information or to attend, contact Jennifer Hammer at jhammer@theconservationfoundation. org.

4-H Youth Development programs provide hands-on learning activities for youth in Kendall County, across Illinois and throughout the country. There are many different ways to experience 4-H in your county, including community clubs, special interest (SPIN) clubs and after-school activities and camps.

SHAW MEDIA Dream of being an engineer or architect? Enjoy building and designing? Then put your ideas and skills to work for the third annual Bridge Busting Competition.

This fun, educational challenge is facilitated by the University of Illinois Extension 4-H Youth Development Program of DuPage, Kane and Kendall counties, and is sponsored by Rural King and the Fox Valley Family YMCA. The 2016 Bridge Busting Competition begins at 8 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 9, at the YMCA in Plano, with awards tentatively scheduled for 1 p.m.

“The annual competition provides an excellent learning and team-building opportunity for youth, teens, classes, clubs, families, and other groups,” said Jo Ann Britton, 4-H Youth Development Program coordinator. “Registered teams will build bridges according to competition rules with provided supplies, and entries will be judged on aesthetics and tested for structural strength at the contest in March.”

Participants may enter in one of three categories: youth teams for ages 10 and older, family teams including adults, and

Things gardeners can do in November’s chill Gardeners can easily find a lot to do out in the home landscape during November. As long as you can dig in the ground, you can plant spring flowering bulbs.

Retailers have been offering bulbs at some pretty good prices right now. The stores would rather sell the bulbs at a discount than have to deal with them later.

The bigger the bulb, the deeper they can be planted. Two to three times their widest diameter is a good rule of thumb.

Planting at this time of the year may mean that next spring the bulbs will be a bit delayed in emerging and flowering.

By the following year, the bulbs will have caught up and bloom as expected.

Gardeners that routinely compost their yard waste will have compost available to add to the vegetable or perennial beds.

In the vegetable garden, turning under the compost with a garden spade or shovel is the best way to leave the soil surface really lumpy. That rough soil surface will be able to collect snow and also go through the freeze and thaw cycles which help condition the soil.

While gardeners cannot turn under the composts in a perennial bed, it will act as mulch for the winter and keep shallow rooted plants and newly planted perennials from being heaved out of the soil from those same freeze and thaw cycles that benefit the open garden soil.

The composts will continue to break down and work into the soil, releasing nutrients as they do.

Lawns have begun to slow down now that we are getting periods of colder weather, yet warmer days will allow them to continue to grow. Gardners will need to continue to mow for a couple reasons.

First, of course, is that the lawn is long enough that it needs to be mowed.

The second reason is to keep the lawn

DOWN THE GARDEN PATH Richard Hentschel cleared of leaves that could pile up and smother the grass. Some species of trees like oaks and maples like to hang on before dropping their leaves. Locust trees dropped their leaves long ago.

Before the garden hose is drained of water and coiled up for the winter, gardeners should remember to water newer plantings and established needle and broad leaved evergreens. A late season watering is the difference between having brown desiccated needles and leaves next spring and plants that remain green depending on our winter weather.

Homeowners new to gardening should know that even though the hose spigot on the home is “frost free,” you still need to remove the hose from the home to allow the spigot to clear itself of water that would otherwise freeze and burst the spigot or, worse, a pipe in the interior of the home, both an expensive plumbing repair.

Lastly, as the mowing season really does draw to a close, clean up the lawnmower before storing for the winter.

Clean the mower deck from any accumulated clips, add a fuel stabilizer to the gas tank and run the mower to get conditioned fuel into the carburetor. Lightly oil any moving parts that could rust during the winter. Gardeners wanting to get ahead of a hurried spring can even sharpen the blade.

SHAW MEDIA Join Kendall County 4-H for a special interest (SPIN) club focused on robotics concepts and programming this school year.

Led by qualified volunteers, this multimonth program will explore basic robotics design, programming and principles.

“Open to youth in grades fifth to eighth, this SPIN club allows members to discover technology and engineering through a fun, hands-on experience,” said Jo Ann Britton, a 4-H Program coordinator with University of Illinois Extension in Kendall County. “This program provides youth ownership of the project in all its stages, and the process promotes teamwork, communication and organizational skills.”

The team will begin by working with a Lego Mindstorm kit to understand the functions, and in January, the group will start to address a specified statewide 4-H challenge.

The team is encouraged to participate

Space is limited, and registration is open through Dec. 2 or when the class meets capacity. There is a fee for new 4-H members. For details or to sign up, visit the Register Online section at http://web. extension.illinois.edu/dkk.

in both the tri-county 4-H Robotics Showcase in spring 2016 and the State 4-H Challenge on April 23, 2016.

Last year, the Kendall County 4-H SPIN Club “Fox Formers” team earned the Best Mechanical Design Award in its division at the 2015 State 4-H Challenge.

The 2015-16 SPIN Club will meet from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Wednesdays at the Old Second National Bank in Yorkville.

If you require a reasonable accommodation to participate in this program, contact Britton at 630-553-5823 or at jbritton@illinois.edu two weeks prior to the program.

The best burgers By the editors of Relish Magazine

W

hen roasted, a head of garlic is transformed into a buttery, sweet purée that you can stir into soups, dips or meat mixtures. In this recipe, it takes turkey burgers from the ordinary to the sublime. Here’s how to roast it: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the top off a garlic head so that the cloves are exposed. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the exposed cloves. Wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet. Roast 1 hour. Let cool 5 minutes. Remove the foil and squeeze the garlic head to release the roasted cloves. Store in a glass jar in the refrigerator up to 1 week.

Roasted garlic makes these patties winners

Roasted Garlic Turkey Burgers 1 pound ground turkey (a mixture of white and dark meat) Cloves from 1 head roasted garlic, mashed 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 2 teaspoons tamari or soy sauce 1 to 2 sprigs fresh thyme, stemmed ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper 1 egg, beaten (use half) ¼ cup dry bread crumbs 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 onion, thinly sliced 4 slices Cheddar cheese 4 ciabatta buns

Place turkey in a medium bowl; add garlic, Worcestershire, tamari, thyme and crushed red pepper. Mix well.

Add half the beaten egg, discarding the rest. Add breadcrumbs and combine well. Form into 4 patties.

Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey patties and cook about 5 minutes per side, until thoroughly cooked.

Place cheese on burgers while cooking the second side. Place each on a ciabatta bun.

Garnish burgers with lettuce, tomato slices and your favorite condiments.

Serves 4.

Claudio's Story... I might have been born around the New Year and come from Tennessee.

No one wanted my brother and I so they dropped us off at the shelter so they did not have to take care of us any longer.

I am a little shy but I love giving kisses and hope that some nice family comes to take me to a 4ever home.

If you are looking for someone to love and receive unconditional love in return, please contact 4Paws 4U 4Ever and an appointment can be scheduled.

I look forward to giving you a big kiss when we meet!

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 Claudio 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.

With our Great Garage Sale Guarantee you'll have great weather for your sale, or we'll run your ad again in the next week for FREE. Call to advertise 877-264-CLAS (2527)

Gwen is a pretty 8 year-old calico kitty, who has been in foster care with her sisters since she was a kitten.

She is playful, affectionate and loves attention - petting, cuddling, you name it, she's ready for it. She has a really sweet personality, and would make a wonderful companion.

She is really looking forward to having her own family to love.

Gwen's adoption fee is $100.00.

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.

Call (630) 897-8738 or visit our website, www.pawsandpurrs.org.
