By LYLE R. ROLFE news@kendallcountynow.com Oswego Public Library District Trustees said at their January meeting they are planning to purchase land at 19 North St. in downtown Oswego to be used for patron parking for the Oswego Campus Library.

Trustees agreed at their Dec. 12 meeting after a closed session to pur-

chase the nearly three-acre parcel for $175,000.

Sarah Skilton, library director, said trustees asked her to send letters to occupants of the two residences on the site that they will have to vacate the buildings.

Trustees also agreed after a closed session in January to take action on the purchase at their Feb. 24 board meeting.

According to Skilton, the parcel is vacant other than the two small structures. It is bound by North Street to the north, the Waubonsie Creek to the south and railroad tracks to the west.

She said the property is in the trust of Russell R. Breitwiser, who is listed

Sex offender arrested at East View Kindergarten Police say he did not make contact with children

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com A registered sex offender was removed Feb. 3 from East View Kindergarten Center in Oswego.

William G. Lumpkin, 50, of the 100 block of Tealwood Road in Montgomery, was arrested by Oswego police and charged with a felony count of being a sex offender in a prohibited school zone, after Community Unit School District 308’s visitor screening process William G. alerted school personnel Lumpkin at 9:27 a.m. that Lumpkin was a registered sexual predator.

Lumpkin did not make contact with any children in the building and was accompanied by his girlfriend at the time, according to a joint press release from the Oswego Police Department and District 308.

He was arrested in the school lobby

and taken to the Kendall County Jail to await a bond hearing.

According to Illinois sex offender information records, Lumpkin was convicted in Florida of aggravated criminal sexual abuse when he was 30.

The victim was 13.

In the release, Dr. John Sparlin, District 308 associate superintendent for administrative services, praised the swift actions of the East View Kindergarten Center staff, district administrators and the Oswego Police Department, and credited the Raptor Technology on-site security system used by School District 308 to screen each visitor’s identity.

“Our procedures for visitors to our schools and partnership with the Oswego Police Department worked precisely as planned,” Sparlin said in the release. “An individual tried to enter our building illegally, the police were notified immediately and everything worked exactly as we have practiced at our schools and buildings.”

Skilton said she was not aware of the site being advertised for sale, but said the owner was interested in selling and approached the library officials.

“Parking is the number one need in the area of the Oswego Campus. We have had the same request since our first survey over 15 years ago,” she added.

However, Skilton did not know when work will begin on the parking lot or if the buildings will be razed.

Skilton said she also was not aware of what the total cost might be with legal fees, filing fees and other expenses.

More details will be announced at the February board meeting, she said.

Parents’ group urges District 308 to address concerns on diversity

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com

“There is no silver bullet response and everyone knows that,” Wendt said. “We do not limit our African-American students’ ability and talent on the football field or the basketball court and we shouldn’t do it in the classroom. Four years ago we could count on one or two hands how many of our African-American students were sitting in AP class.”

He added that the district has to work to remove stereotypes and change attitudes about race.

“Not only do our African-American, black students need to have African-American teachers and coaches and role models but so do our white students,” he said. “And I never thought about it that way.”

Wendt said he would like the district to help find more African-American teachers and administrators. He said if they can’t find those teachers of color in Illinois, they need to leave the state to search them out.

“Here’s an idea: leave Illinois and go recruit elsewhere – go to the historically black college’s number one,” he said, adding that the district can also help grow their own African-American teachers.

“Have the foundation of the school district commit to helping pay for some of the college and invest in [African-American] people and ask them to come back and work in the district so many years at minimum,” Wendt said. “Our faculty need training in how to reach – in the classroom – students of color.”

OSWEGO LEDGER Allied First Bank will give $20,000 in scholarships to students at Oswego High School and Oswego East High School again this year.

Scholarship applications are currently available at both OHS and OEHS for $10,000 in scholarship money.

Two scholarships will be awarded in each of the following five categories at both high schools: General Academic, Athletics, Career & Technology, Performing Arts and Visual Arts. One male and one female will be awarded a scholarship in each category.

Recipients of the scholarships will be determined by a committee consisting of administrators, teachers and coaches at each high school. Students may apply for more than one scholarship, with an application being submitted in each category for which they are applying.

The application deadline is April 1. Winners will be contacted by their high school principal and the scholarships will be awarded at the Senior Awards Banquet.

Allied First Bank is a full service community bank located in Oswego.

Members of PEGS (Parents for Education and Global Success) attended the School District 308 Board meeting Monday night to draw attention to what they say is an achievement gap between African-American students and the rest of the student population in the school district.

Natalie Winkfield, president of PEGS, said the organization was formed last year by a group of concerned district parents.

To introduce PEGS to the district, Winkfield said they have met with Superintendent Dr. Matthew Wendt and his administrative team along with several principals.

“We are here tonight to introduce PEGS to the school board,” she said.

She said the organization’s mission is to collaborate with the district to “ensure that an optimal education experience is afforded to African-American students.”

“Why African-American students? The percentage of African-American students served by the district has continued to grow; as the district has grown, so has the African-American student population,” Winkfield told the board.

She said in 2000 African-American students rep-

resented 3 percent of the district’s total enrollment. As of 2014, she said African-American students comprised 8 percent of the district’s enrollment.

“The academic achievement gap between black students and the larger population in the district has widened in the last eight years,” Winkfield said. “The 2014 Illinois Report Card indicates that for our district there has been an achievement gap between black and white subgroups for those students who are meeting and exceeding expectations on the ISAT exam.”

The reading gap was 22 percent with an average score of 73 percent for white students and 51 percent for black students. Math scores showed a similar pattern, she said, with white students averaging 82 percent on that part of the test and African-American students averaging 56 percent – a 26 percent achievement gap, according to Winkfield.

“There has been no significant positive change in the gap in this district since 2006,” Winkfield said. “This is a poor reflection on the district as well as the teaching staff, students and their families. If you live in this district you want to be proud of the students that are educated here. If African-American students continue to perform lower as a whole it will have a negative impact

on the district’s academic performance data and its reputation.”

Winkfield said PEGS is attempting to address these issues with a strategy they have developed. This strategy includes actively monitoring and tracking African-American students’ performance-based data, partnering with school administrators to identify and provide solutions to this discrepancy in the data, and holding school administrators and the board accountable to ensure that equitable education, access and support is afforded to African American students.

The group is also advocating for a more diverse staff in the district, Winkfield suggested.

“Studies have shown time and time again that these individuals provide role models to students not only of the same ethnic background but to others as well,” she said. “We still have little to no African-American teachers, coaches, social workers, nurses, custodians, administrative assistants, engineers, etc. There have not been any visible efforts to increase those numbers by those in charge of hiring.”

School board member Jared Ploger asked if the district would address the diversity concerns. He added he liked the idea of partnering with PEGS and would like to see them work with building administrators on the issue.

Wendt responded that the diversity issue is part of a broader national discussion and is not limited to the district.

OPINIONS OUR VIEW

After delay, early voting should start soon here Early voting for the March 15 primary election in Kendall County and much of the rest of Illinois was proposed to start last Thursday, Feb. 4.

But the start-up of early balloting has been pushed back in Kendall County and numerous other counties across the state as the Illinois State Board of Elections reviews objections filed to petitions filed by several candidates for president.

In a letter published in this newspaper Jan. 28, County Clerk Debbie Gillette, the county’s chief election officer, announced she expects early voting will start next Wednesday, Feb. 17, and

continue through Monday, March 14, at her office in the county office building in Yorkville at 111 W. Fox St. Early voting will also be offered from Monday, Feb. 29, through Thursday, March 10, at Oswego Village Hall and Plano City Hall, according to Gillette.

Gillette is encouraging county voters to check her office’s website at co.kendall.il.us/voter-registration for early voting hours in Oswego and Plano and for additional updates. The clerk’s office can also be reached at 630-553-4104 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Mondays through Fridays.

We’re pleased to see that the clerk’s office has expanded early voting to include the site at Plano City Hall. No doubt, the additional voting location will prove convenient for voters in the Plano area. We continue to encourage the clerk’s office to consider offering early voting at a fourth site in the Plainfield-Joliet area of the county. The thousands of taxpaying voters in that portion of the county are deserving of a convenient early voting site – the same as their counterparts in the county’s others municipalities.

Depending upon the outcome of the presidential primaries in other states

leading up to the Illinois vote, our state’s primary could essentially be a non-factor in the race for the White House. Voters, however, shouldn’t let what’s happening in the presidential election keep them away from the polls here in Kendall County. In addition to president, voters will be asked to cast ballots for candidates for seats on the county board and for county coroner.

The individuals elected in November to those positions will have a direct say in county governmental operations and help determine how much you will pay for county services over the next four years.

For 5 years, northern Kendall was part of Kane Most folks give little thought to how things we see and take for granted every day came to be the way they are.

Every once in a while, though, someone will suffer a spasm of curiosity and will shoot me an email or call me up and want to know how Kendall County came to be. I usually explain that the area in which we live has not always been Kendall County. In fact, we have not always been part of Illinois, nor even the United States.

By the time the Revolutionary War began in 1775, the Fox Valley was part of Quebec Province and was governed from Canada. At various times prior to that era, the area had been under the control of many, changing Indian tribal groups. When Europeans arrived in North America, the Fox Valley region was claimed by France, until the British assumed control following the end of the French and Indian War in North America in 1763.

The road to modern Kendall County was paved by George Rogers Clark and his band of hardy frontiersmen, who marched west to secure what was then called the Illinois Country for Virginia in 1778, after which Virginia established the region north and west of the Ohio River it as its westernmost county.

After the war, and thanks to Clark’s audacious campaigns, the lands drained by the Fox River were won by the United States as part of the Treaty of Paris peace settlement at the end of the Revolution. Gradually realizing governing such a far-off region was not only expensive but virtually impossible, Virginia surrendered its claim to the Illinois Country to the U.S. government in 1784. Three years later we

REFLECTIONS Roger Matile became part of the Northwest Territory – a huge area comprising the current states of Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio – under terms of the Ordinance of 1787, also called the Northwest Ordinance.

Arthur St. Clair, a mediocre Revolutionary War general with good political connections, was appointed territorial governor, promptly naming the territory’s first county after himself in April of 1790. On June 20, however, St. Clair created another county, Knox, and that’s when Kendall County’s story started to get interesting, for the region including our small county was contained in a portion of the new giant political division.

Old Knox County included about half of the current state of Illinois plus the whole of Indiana, a good deal of Ohio, most of Michigan, and a huge chunk of Wisconsin. The county was named for Secretary of War Henry Knox, another former Revolutionary War general, although one who was both innovative and competent.

In 1800 the territory of Indiana was carved out of the Old Northwest Territory and in 1801 the Fox Valley was included in a redesigned St. Clair County of the new territory. We remained part of Indiana until Illinois Territory was established in 1809.

In 1812, a cycle was begun that would soon become familiar: As population grew in the southern part of the state, new counties were formed to pro-

vide local government. Although the nation was at war again with England, political reorganization and population growth did not stop, and in September of that year, the Fox Valley became part of Madison County, named for President James Madison.

On Nov. 20, 1814, with most fighting of the War of 1812 wrapped up, the territorial legislature established Edwards County, and included the Fox Valley within its bounds. The new county was named for Illinois’ first territorial governor, Ninian Edwards.

After the end of the War of 1812, Illinois Territory kept growing in population, although its land boundaries were pretty much set. Crawford County (named for Sen. William Crawford of Georgia) was established in December and included today’s Kendall County.

On Dec. 3, 1818, Congress granted statehood to Illinois (for the whole story on this, see the Jan. 28 Reflections column). A year later, on March 22, 1819, Clark County, which included the entire Fox River Valley, was established and named for Gen. George Rogers Clark.

As settlement moved north, county boundaries kept changing. In 1821 we became part of Pike County (named for Zebulon Pike an explorer and general during the War of 1812); and in 1824, part of Fulton County (named for Robert Fulton of steamboat fame). In 1825, we were included in the bounds of the new Putnam County (named for Revolutionary War Gen. Rufus Putnam) where we remained until 1831.

On Jan. 15, 1831, the General Assembly formed LaSalle County, which ran from the center of present-day Livingston County all the way north to

Wisconsin, including Kendall County.

We remained part of LaSalle (named for the 17th century French explorer Robert Cavalier de LaSalle) until 1836 when Kane County was formed.

The formation of Kane County (named for Elias Kent Kane, Illinois’ first secretary of state and a U.S. senator) included the three northernmost townships of modern Kendall County – Oswego, Bristol, and Little Rock. The other six – Kendall, NaAuSay, Fox, Big Grove, Lisbon, and Seward – remained part of LaSalle County.

Population was growing too fast in Northern Illinois for things to remain the same for long, however. On Feb. 19, 1841, the Illinois General Assembly established the new county of Kendall, named for Amos Kendall, Postmaster General of the United States, who was President Andrew Jackson’s political crony and fixer as well as a journalist, and, later, partner with Samuel F.B. Morse in the development of the telegraph. Ironically, a county that has voted solidly Republican since the party was formed in 1854 is named for a prominent 19th century Democrat.

It’s been a long road since the 1770s when we were part of Quebec and, I suppose, would have spoken French had we been here. After a dangerous swerve towards becoming Hoosiers, and a brief flirtation with becoming Cheeseheads, we at last settled for being regular Illinois Suckers. It’s all rather nice, even if we do speak broken French these days. Next week, we’ll take a look at the nuts and bolts of the county’s formation.

FORUM To the Editor: In August of 1776 George Washington said, “The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed…”

I believe history is repeating itself and therefore I am endorsing the following candidates.

I am endorsing Jerry Bannister for Kendall County Board because my experience with Bannister has taught me that he’s nobody’s yes man and can’t be politically bullied. For Kendall County coroner I am endorsing Carl Gutierrez for his ability to add his human touch to his military experience which I believe will better serve families proficiently and compassionately in our community’s hour of needs.

Sen. Mark Kirk is a great example of what’s wrong with government today. He constantly breaks promises and then has his arrogant staff rudely explain away his votes; therefore, I am endorsing James Marter for U.S. senator. I have found Marter to be studious and knowledgeable of what the Founding Fathers’ intentions were and being self-employed, knows and understands the importance of being organized and living within one’s means.

These primaries will determine whether we are destined to be free or property of the state.

Our policy on election letters We invite our readers to submit letters concerning the Tuesday, March 15, primary election for our Forum pages and on our website at KendallCountyNow.com. To allow a greater number of our readers to express their views, the following rules have been established: • Letters must contain no more than 250 words and conform fully with the requirements contained in our letters policy.

• We will consider for publication up to two letters per household beginning with our Feb. 18 edition and ending with our March 10

edition.

• Letters must be written by the individual who submits the letter. Second party letters will be discarded.

• Letters concerning individual candidates will be published through Thursday, March 10. However, to assure fairness, letters containing specific charges against individual candidates will not be considered for publication after our Thursday, March 3, edition since our publication schedule will not provide the candidate(s) in question with an opportunity to respond to charges prior to the election.

voice has not been heard nor respected at the county level. That will change if you elect me to the Kendall County Board.

Every dime the county plans to spend or does spend should be online in real time.

This will hold elected officials accountable, and will give everyone advance notice of how the county plans to spend our tax dollars. This will give us all an opportunity to voice our support or objection before our tax dollars are spent.

My vision for Kendall County isn’t just more growth but for better growth.

I am asking for your vote March 15.

Thank you.

A second letter by Judy Siedleki stated: “Prisoner exchange with Iran. Patience and diplomacy pay off.” I am happy that our four prisoners were released by Iran; however, none of the four should have been imprisoned and all were held prisoner for extended periods of time without the current administration or the State Department doing anything to affect their release. In fact the administration negotiated the nuclear agreement with Iran without insisting on release of the prisoners first. Now consider the success of the diplomacy in release of the prisoners.

In the first case of prisoner exchange the administration released five Taliban terrorists for Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl.

In the latest release four Americans, who were unreasonably imprisoned and subjected to severe treatment in Iran, were release for seven convicted Iranians. If you consider the results mathematically, our enemies got 13 released and returned for five Americans. (13 to 5 for our enemies.)

I will repeat that I am glad that the four Americans were released but this cannot be considered diplomatic wins by any stretch of the imagination.

So, yes we do need to vote smart and elect candidates that support the Constitution and the security of the United States, which includes safeguarding all classified information.

has increased. The pension system still bulges at the seams but he has a plan for that. We currently are saving money in postage by not sending out license plate renewals. I hope the lights stay on at some of the government offices who haven’t paid their electric bills since he came to office.

If you go onto the governor’s website at Illinois.gov you can read “the plan.”

First we need to stop people from getting injured and suing their employers. Next we need to make people prove they are truly injured and then cap what they can collect. Then we need good old-fashioned pension reforms such as not paying into the system and then make people work until they are really, really old to collect.

Next cut Medicaid to the bone. Poor people and old folks can get along just fine without these handouts. Next freeze property taxes, but read the fine print before that will happen. That means no union workers for state-contracted projects.

The turnaround agenda reads on for 38 pages and at the end it never tells you how anything proposed will save any money or pay off the old bills. The governor adds that the Wall Street Journal thinks his plan is the greatest thing since sliced bread until you realize that the WSJ is owned by ultra right wing media mogul Rupert Murdoch who also owns the FOX network. So who has benefited from the governor not having a budget for almost a year?

Most recently is 128,000 college students, aka future voters, who will not be getting state student aid that has been given out for last 40 years uninterrupted.

Many junior level students waiting on these grants may have to drop out of school, unable to pay their senior year tuition. The governor will then take over the Chicago Public Schools and then just bankrupt the system, showing the teachers union who is boss.

Recently General Electric choose another state to relocate their headquarters because our state is not in good shape. It was probably due to those high worker’s compensation rates that scare Rauner.

Mondelez International, a food company, relocated to Mexico but the governor didn’t care because they made Oreo cookies and those are not his favorite. Soon the governor will give his State of the State address that will focus on tiny ideas that will amount to nothing in helping the state, but he will make sure to tell you that none of this is his fault.

To the Editor: A little over a year ago Gov. Bruce Rauner took the reins of what he called a dysfunctional state. Billions of unpaid bills and a burgeoning pension system. Millions cast their ballots for the new governor.

Now that he has a year under his belt we can appreciate what he has done for and to the good people of Illinois.

We still have billions of dollars in unpaid Ed Washak bills, and by some accounts, that number Yorkville

Montgomery well positioned for success I’m very proud of the accomplishments we’ve achieved in Montgomery during 2015, and firmly believe that the village of Montgomery has never been better positioned for future success. Our Village Board’s commitment to long term planning and financial stability are paying big dividends as we work to move Montgomery forward.

One of our proudest accomplishments is the new funding source for roadway improvements. The new one percent non-home-rule sales tax proceeds are dedicated to infrastructure improvements and will enable the village to provide a well-maintained roadway system for residents and businesses. As part of the referendum that established this sales tax, the Village Board committed to a rebate to property owners of $45 per year, and the first of those annual rebates are scheduled to be mailed out in March. More good news on the financial front is that the Village Board acted to freeze property taxes

GUEST VIEW Matt Brolley for the third year in a row.

Despite the property tax freeze, village officials and staff have worked diligently to continually improve services that contribute to the high quality of life in our village, such as snow plowing, leaf pick up, community policing and community events. Community Watch programs have been revamped and expanded in the past couple of years, while popular community events draw residents together to foster friendships and a sense of community. Rather than maintain the status quo, we actively seek for ways to improve while holding the line on expenses, and are proud of the balanced budget we maintain each year.

We have identified some vital areas of focus that will help to move the village of Montgomery forward. We are not

Planning for the future includes our relentless lobbying to IDOT for much-needed improvements at the intersection of Route 30 and Orchard Road. Although widening of Route 30 all the way to Route 47 is on IDOT’s planning horizon, we believe the intersection improvements cannot wait and must be completed as a priority item as soon as possible. We have brought together our legislators and the chairs of both Kane and Kendall County to support us in our requests to IDOT. We believe that working together with other stakeholders, we can accomplish even greater things. We have established better communication and coordination with local groups such as Rotary Club and various Homeowners Associations. Working with realtors and the MEDC

we developed a Crime Free Lease Addendum as a tool for landlords to help protect themselves and their neighborhoods. And we continue to stand with our neighboring communities in fighting to protect local governments from harmful legislation and from taking local government funds to solve the budget crisis in Springfield.

We are also using this type of networking and cooperation to revitalize the key Douglas Road corridor. The Douglas Road task force, made up of key stakeholders such as business owners, realtors and village staff, is leading efforts to improve and revitalize that area and fill the remaining vacancies. The task force meets quarterly to strategize, discuss needs, and organize cleanup events. The purchase of Settlers Landing Shopping Center by U-Haul and the new Chiquita Food Market are pivotal accomplishments, with more on the horizon.

And finally, we are refocusing our efforts on the down-

town area and all along the Fox River. Notable successes in 2015 include the new South Moon BBQ that now occupies Gray’s Mill, as well as the brand new Riverview Restaurant. As these new businesses bring people downtown, we will continue to promote the beautiful trails and parks along our river that provide wonderful opportunities for fishing, canoeing and special events. The beautiful Fox River is our greatest natural resource, and we will work to promote and capitalize on this asset.

We are fortunate to have elected officials and staff that are working together toward common goals and priorities as determined by the Village Board. With our stable finances, growing business community and wonderful residents, we are confident that the village of Montgomery will continue to grow and prosper in 2016 and beyond.

“There are a lot of stories, misconceptions, myths and even lies floating around out there about TIFs.” Gail Johnson Oswego village president district has been a matter of controversy over the past several years.

“There are a lot of stories, misconceptions, myths and even lies floating around out there about TIFs,” she said.

Referring to village staff and the board, Johnson continued, “So our job over the next year is to educate.

There will be open forums, there will be times everyone can come and get their questions answered and hear the truth from the people that will be passing these policies for you.”

Johnson said the village will also continue to promote development along the Fox River at “appropriate sites.”

She said the village will continue to market available properties such as the old Village Hall site on Main Street and the former Alexander Lumber Yard on Washington Street (U.S. Route 34) to developers.

“We are going to be very aggressive about that,” she said.

Noting that recent studies have shown that parts of Kendall County could be without water by 2030, Johnson said village officials have started studying the development of regional water treatment plant with neighboring Montgomery and Yorkville.

“We are part of a group [of municipalities] seeing what we can do to continue to provide a safe and sustainable source of water for future generations,” Johnson said, adding, “That means looking at the Fox River like our neighbors in Aurora and Elgin have done as well.”

Johnson emphasized that the problems with tainted water now being experienced in Flint, Michigan, could not occur with the village’s water supply.

“What happened in Flint cannot happen here. The reason is simply because we have become so transparent that everything that we do is connected back to our residents. When we test the water we post the results online and send that information out in the water bills. We take that responsibility very seriously. If we know, you’ll know,” she said.

Oswego Village President Gail Johnson told a large gathering at Village Hall Monday afternoon that she and other village officials are focused on the long-term as they conduct the village’s business.

“All seven of us on the village board believe we have a responsibility to leave this village better than when we found it. Because of that we are looking 20, 30 and 50 years out to the future,” Johnson said.

In her first “State of the Village” address since being elected to a four-year term as village president last April, Johnson discussed several pending projects that she believes will help “secure a better future” for the village and its residents, including the pending construction of a new village police station at a yet-to-be determined site.

The new station will replace the village’s existing, under-sized station that was built 25 years ago on a landlocked site at 3524 U.S. Route 34.

“Our focus is to build a [new] facility that will serve the residents for 50 years,” Johnson said. “We are going to make sure the land we buy is large enough for expansion and the building

is designed and constructed so it can be easily expanded and adapted.”

Johnson said village officials are also moving ahead with planning for the reconstruction and widening of Wolf’s Crossing Road between U.S. Route 34/Ill. Route 71 and U.S. Route 30.

She acknowledged that actual construction is likely years away due in part to the anticipated $50 million cost.

She noted the project will also require the participation of the village, township, county, state and federal governments and the neighboring city of Aurora.

“We cannot afford to Gail Johnson do this alone so we have begun discussions with the township and county and our state and federal legislators. ... It will be no small undertaking,” Johnson said.

Maintaining a vibrant downtown remains a high priority for village officials, according to Johnson.

“This year we are going to do more than just talk about it. Here’s our plan: I fully expect the implementation of a TIF [tax increment financing] district in the first half of 2016,” she said.

Johnson acknowledged that the proposed creation of a downtown TIF

Students help restore natural areas IMSA group works to add prairie plants

By LYLE R. ROLFE news@kendallcountynow.com When one thinks of the Illinois Math and Science Academy in Aurora, it is natural to think of students working with mathematical and scientific formulas. But several IMSA students recently finished up working in the Oswegoland Park District greenhouses with Dave Margolis, district naturalist.

The students began by planting prairie plants in the area of the Waubonsie Greenway between Old Post and Pearce’s Ford and around Cook’s Savanna in Oswego.

The Greenway extends from the area of the Fox Valley Shopping Center on Aurora’s far east side through Montgomery and Oswego to the Fox River a few miles west.

They planted native prairie species along the Greenway and native woodland species on the edge of Cook’s Savanna.

“We planted there to continue putting diverse native plants back into that area, as well as to extend a butterfly waystation project we started years ago to attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, wasps and other insects that pollinate,” Margolis said.

All of the plants came from seeds his crews collected in the fall of 2013 and grew into plants ready for transplanting in the summer of 2014.

He said IMSA has a built-in community service program so they contacted him three years ago to partner with this program. “Many of these students are interested in the environment. Two of them volunteered to work with me over the summer,” he said.

The students can fulfill their IMSA volunteer requirement hours through this program, he said.

The cost the district would pay for seeds or seedling-sized plants varies depending on the species, he noted.

Margolis said the district has saved $25,000 to $40,000 each year by collecting the seeds, planting them in the greenhouse and replanting them where needed. The varieties include grasses, forbs or flowers, sedges and

County official calls police on IDNR sharpshooters

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com A Kendall County official says he called the police when he heard that Illinois Department of Natural Resources sharpshooters had recently trespassed on Kendall County Forest Preserve District property.

The Kendall County Forest Preserve District Board voted last year to deny a request from the IDNR to cull deer suspected of having chronic wasting disease on district property. The IDNR, however, can shoot deer on private property if they are given permission by the landowner.

Board member Bob Davidson said he contacted Kendall County sheriff’s police after he heard from constituents who said they thought the sharpshooters were shooting deer at the Henneberry Woods Forest Preserve north of Ill. Route 126 near Yorkville.

Forest Preserve President Jeff Wehrli said it was determined that the shooters were indeed on forest preserve land and chalks it up to an error by the IDNR. “We did receive an email apologizing and they moved their equipment and operation off of the property, but

it was close to the private property but it was not on private property,” Wehrli said. “There will be people watching.”

Davidson said the matter has been turned over to the Illinois Game Warden.

Chronic wasting disease is a neurological disease that was discovered in deer in Illinois in 2003. The disease is passed between adult deer via bodily fluids.

A deer showing symptoms of the disease usually dies within two to three weeks. However, the animal can carry the disease for two years and transmit it to other deer in that time, according to the IDNR. Chronic wasting disease was first confirmed to be found in deer in Kendall County in 2013.

Dave Guritz, the forest preserve’s director, said the district should consider installing boundary markers soon so this doesn’t happen again.

“It was an error and they were not aware that Henneberry was in our holdings,” Guritz said. “Putting up some property markers along our borders would go a long way in helping to identify those lines. This isn’t the first time that we’ve had this type of encroachment.”

even shrubs.

The volunteers have transplanted more than 5,000 prairie seedlings into growing containers. When large enough, they are permanently planted into their preferred habitat which could be dry, semi-dry or wet. And in some cases they cross over into more than one soil and light preference, he noted.

These plants are put into outdoor growing beds and mulched in over the winter. As seedlings, they were originally grown in the greenhouse over the winter in cedar boxes.

Margolis said their yearly seed purchases vary. “We have saved the district thousands of dollars by collecting seeds ourselves. If we grow 5,500 plants and a nursery sells these plants for $4 each, we have saved the district $22,000,” he said.

He said these IMSA students came out during October and November to work with his staff members. But student volunteers from local high schools also assist park district staff members with the transplanting, he said.

Margolis said the volunteers are not limited to just students. Scouts, youth

groups, community service groups and church groups are always welcome, as are individuals.

“We have no preference to age, but someone who is 14-17 must volunteer with a friend or parent. And the younger children may work with their parents. Depending on the time of year, they may be working in the greenhouse or in the fields collecting seeds,” he said.

Volunteers also have included a group of gardeners who plant and harvest a variety of vegetables in gardens at Prairie Point Park in Oswego.

These people have raised more than 3,000 pounds of fresh produce each year that is contributed to the Northern Illinois Food Bank.

So if you have a green thumb, want to learn about planting and caring for plants or just want to be closer to nature, Margolis, his staff and other volunteers will welcome you whenever you want to work.

There’s no monetary pay but the experiences, making new friends, working with nature, and seeing seeds become mature plants that help the environment or feed people is priceless.

Moody’s and Fitch have assigned high ratings of Aa2 and AA, respectively, to School District 308’s $103,420,000 General Obligation (GO) Refunding School Bonds, Series 2016.

“With these ratings, District 308 moves one step closer to lowering the tax burden of our residents, which is one of the board’s top priorities,” Board of Education President Matt Bauman said.

As stated by Moody’s, Aa2 rating reflects the district’s large tax base,

above-average demographic profile, satisfactory financial position, and elevated debt burden.

Fitch’s rating of AA is in line with Moody’s rating of Aa2.

By “keeping growth compact,” instead of letting it spread out, Johnson said the village will be doing its part to limit urban sprawl.

“That’s one of our goals with connecting with nature, the other is to keep our Environmentally Conscious Oswego Commission as vibrant and vital as possible and expanding our recycling events,” she said.

Johnson encouraged village residents to get or stay connected with the village by logging onto the village’s website, interacting on social meeting and attending meetings.

Oswego’s fireworks move back to July 4 Resident emails cited in board’s discussion

By ERIKA WURST news@kendallcountynow.com Following a flurry of angry emails from Oswego residents regarding last year’s decision to host a July 3 fireworks display, Oswego Village Board members have decided to change the date back to July 4, when the event is usually held.

The display, which was slated to be approved on Tuesday for a July 3 date, was taken off the board’s consent agenda for discussion after Trustee Karin McCarthy-Lange brought up several issues with the proposal.

“After all the emails we got last year about changing the fireworks from July 4 to July 3, I’d just hate to repeat that and go through it again this year,” McCarthy-Lange said.

Lange said that when she voted last year for a July 3 display, she was under the impression that it would impact only 2015, and not the display dates moving forward. She asked for her fellow board members opinions on the subject.

“Everyone was so upset about it last time, it probably makes sense to move it back to the fourth,” Trustee Ryan Kauffman said. “The Fourth of July is

the Fourth of July.”

Trustee Pam Parr said she saw both days as options.

“For me, it’s not a big deal,” she said. “I don’t see a reason not to do July 3. The reality is, yes, we got emails back and forth. But, we have 34,000 people and the majority didn’t care.”

For Trustee Luis Perez, who was not on the board last year and was unaware of the resident backlash, July 3 also seemed like a viable option, he said. He said a July 3 display gives the village wiggle-room for having a July 4 display should the previous day get rained out.

He said families can also enjoy the night of July 3 with their families, without having to worry about work the following morning.

“I don’t think it’s a deal-breaker either way, but I can see it being more enjoyable on the 3rd,” he said.

Prior to voting on the date change, McCarthy-Lange asked that whatever the decision’s outcome is, that the village keep that date as a constant.

“One thing I don’t want to get into is switching it every year,” she said. “I think we need to pick [a date] and stick to it. ... Why don’t we move it back to the 4th and keep it there?”

“Keep it there forever and ever,” Parr added.

The board voted unanimously to move the display to July 4, where it will likely remain, they said.

By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com The Oswego-Oswego East boys’ swimming and diving team had a pretty good idea it would finish among the top three at the Independent Conference meet on Saturday.

Behind a senior-dominated lineup, conference favorite DeKalb won the six-team event with a 294, but two points were the difference between second and third as Plainfield co-op edged out Oswego coop, 257-255. It was something head coach Deryl Leubner wished did not happen.

“We gave it away. We were up by 11 with three events to go, and all we had to do was hold our spot in our seeding,” Leubner said. “We should have been second. We made silly mistakes, like we did at the beginning of the season. We cleaned them up during the middle of the season, but then went right back to the same mistakes we made at the beginning.”

Riverside-Brookfield was fourth with a 213, followed by Fenton (111) and Morris (100). Oswego finished

in first place in three events. Senior Tyler Guist won both the 200yard freestyle (1:44.29) and 500-yard freestyle (4:42.53) and senior James Kaku won the 100-yard butterfly (53.60).

Kaku and Guist were also a part of two relay teams, along with seniors Mark Urso and Michael Latzke, that finished in second place in the 200-yard freestyle relay (1:31.04) and 400-yard freestyle relay (3:23.06). Kaku also went third in the 100-yard breaststroke (59.12).

Urso placed third in the 50-yard freestyle (23.08) and fifth in the 100-yard backstroke (59.14). Latzke ended up third in the 100-yard freestyle (52.20) and fifth in the 50-yard freestyle (24.05).

In diving, freshman Max Padlo placed second (355.45) and sophomore Joey Hernandez was third (353.65).

“Tyler had a great meet. He put the whole team on his back,” Leubner said. “James Kaku had great swims in the fly and in the breast, Mike and Mark swam well, the divers did great, but our inexperience showed.”

BULLETIN BOARD

News from School District 308 schools. Submissions can be emailed to news@kendallcountynow.com.

D-308 transportation director joins Ill. board OSWEGO LEDGER Community Unit School District 308 Director of Transportation Derrick Berlin has been appointed to the board of directors of the Illinois Association of Pupil Transportation (IAPT).

Berlin is one of three directors representing northern Illinois on the 15-member IAPT board. His appointment begins immediately and runs through June 2018.

“I am very excited to work alongside other leaders in Illinois to promote and support safe, effective and quality transportation services for Illinois students,” said Berlin. “I am honored and privileged to take Derrick on this new role as a Berlin team member to provide support, resources, and education as well as advocate for pupil transportation officials and agencies within the state.”

Berlin, who has served in the pupil transportation industry for 26 years, joined School District 308 as its director of transportation in 2012. Prior to that, he worked in pupil transportation for various Illinois school districts.

He is one of only several directors of transportation within the state to have earned the Certified Directors of Pupil Transportation (CDPT) desig-

nation, the highest level of certification provided by the National Association of Pupil Transportation.

The District 308 Transportation Department serves more than 13,000 students, who travel nearly 2.5 million miles each year to and from school in 207 school buses making 838 runs a day.

The mission of the IAPT is to encourage and promote the safety and efficiency of student transportation within the state, provide open communication between membership and state and national transportation services, cooperate with state agencies to develop programs to educate students, and promote awareness of student transportation issues and school bus “stop-arm” laws.

The IAPT also has representatives on the Illinois State Board of Education Advisory Committee and the Secretary of State’s Safe Ride Committee.

IAPT partners with the Secretary of State’s office on the annual School Bus Safety Poster Contest and maintains membership in the National Association for Pupil Transportation to guarantee national representation for Illinois members.

Each June, IAPT holds a state conference and trade show as well as a Mechanic’s Workshop and a School Bus Roadeo.

The conference provides attendees opportunities to enhance their skills, meet vendors and collaborate with other leaders in the industry.

Two Bednarcik students win Aurora’s MLK Recognition Award

Two Bednarcik Junior High School students, who organized shoe drives to give back to those less fortunate, are being recognized for their efforts.

Nyla Talton and Brad Wiggins were selected as recipients of the Martin Luther King Recognition Award on Monday, Jan. 18, at East Aurora High School, each for organizing a separate shoe drive for children in Haiti and Africa last fall.

Both students provided information for parents, fellow students and staff, with a pizza party for the shoe drive that received the highest number of donations. Talton’s shoe drive yielded 318 pairs of shoes that were sent to the United Liberal Inland Church Associates and Friends (ULICAF.org). Her efforts were previously featured on the School District 308 website.

Wiggins’ drive netted 105 pairs of shoes, which went to the O’Brien School for the Maasai in Tanzania.

The Oswego co-op gymnastics team didn’t receive a season-best score at the Lincoln-Way East Regional, and head coach Sarah Dugan wasn’t sure it would be enough to give the team an at-large sectional bid.

But last Friday, the squad learned it had captured the sixth and final ticket to the Hinsdale Central Sectional after taking second in the regional with a score of 135.125 on Feb. 3.

“I really thought the scoring was right on point from the judges, and looking at the other teams’ scores throughout the season, they’ve been scoring higher than us,” Dugan said.

“When I was looking through the scores on Thursday night after the last regional was over, I was really surprised. I was completely shocked and excited. I knew we could do it.”

Oswego will compete in Wednesday’s team sectional competition for the first time since 2013, entering 14 individual events as well for plenty of potential to advance to state. Results were unavailable at press time.

The top five individual sectional finishers advance to the state finals, in addition to the next 12 best scorers in each individual event and all-around.

The final sectional takes place Thursday, with the state qualifiers posted on Friday. The state meet takes place Feb. 19-20 at Palatine High School.

“They went into regionals and had a really good night, so they were feeling really good about themselves,” Dugan said. “We had a team meeting on Thursday and they were extremely exhausted. You could read on their faces that there was hope, and we had one of those scores that was on the edge of whether it was possible. They were really excited and there’s a lot of oppor-

Oswego’s Torres gets regional revenge

By KRISTIN SHARP

Oswego’s Josh Torres brings BJ Hill of Oswego East to the mat during the 170-pound championship match in the Class 3A Lockport Regional on Saturday.

Torres won a 6-0 decision to take first place over Hill.

ksharp@kendallcountynow.com After settling for second place in last year’s regional tournament, Oswego junior Josh Torres was on a mission to stand atop the podium at Saturday’s Class 3A Lockport Regional.

Torres accomplished that mission, winning the 170-pound championship to improve to 38-5 on the season and receive a first-round bye in this weekend’s Bolingbrook Sectional.

“It feels great. After last year coming in second and not feeling my best, it felt good coming in here and finally getting that W today,” Torres said.

“The whole team really pushed me.

My practice partner [Dan Majewski] unfortunately got hurt today, but he really pushed me to get here today and I wouldn’t have gotten that W without him.”

Torres opened the tournament with a 38-second pin over Plainfield East before winning an 8-1 decision over Romeoville in the semifinals. He faced Oswego East’s BJ Hill in the championship bout and won a 6-0 decision over his crosstown rival for the title.

“I’ve wrestled BJ before and he’s my buddy. He’s real good and I knew he was going to want redemption after I beat him at Palatine, and I knew he was going to go hard,” Torres said. “I wrestled a little sloppy, but I got the job done.”

Torres was one of three regional champions for Oswego, and the Panthers will send a total of eight individuals into the sectional tournament.

Lockport won the regional team championship with a score of 209.5, and Oswego took a runner-up finish with 147 points. Oswego East, which advances three individuals to sectionals, placed eighth overall.

For Oswego, sophomore Allen Swanson won the 132-pound championship and senior Dan Risley clinched first place in the 160-pound bracket.

Swanson opened with a pair of pins over Oswego East’s Cody Webb (2:33) and Plainfield Central (1:37) to meet Lockport in the finals. Swanson won the 9-0 major decision.

“Today I came in here worried about what was going to happen. I just wanted to place,” Swanson said.

“That’s the most important thing is going in thinking you’re going to get that first takedown, because that’s what makes or breaks you. The last one the kid was just brutally strong and wouldn’t let me move. I had to result to takedowns, which I’ve been working on all year.”

Risley won a 7-0 decision over Plain-

field Central and a 3-2 semifinal win over Oswego East’s Jackson O’Reilly to reach the finals against Lockport.

Risley clinched the 8-7 decision over Chandler Proszek with a late score to win the title.

“After he took me down, I was looking at the time and I knew I had time to get back up again,” Risley said. “Last year I lost the third-place match, and I’m just so happy that I won.”

Luke Pradel captured second place at 113, Gannon Hughes finished third at 120, Blake Huffmon was second at 126, Victor Aguirre was second at 182 and Josh Alatorre placed third at 220.

Sam Saravia was fourth at 106 to become a sectional alternate.

For Oswego East, Hill advances as a regional runner-up after previously winning a 13-2 major decision over Bolingbrook, and won a 6-4 overtime decision to Lockport in the semifinals to set up a rematch with Torres in the finals.

At 152, Andrew Okayama won a 1-0 decision over Neuqua Valley to place third and advance to sectionals. Jackson O’Reilly advances to sectionals with his third-place finish at 160, ending with an 8-2 decision over Bolingbrook in the finals. Tyler Eby placed fourth at 113 and will be a sectional alternate.

1 game from perfect finish

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com The Oswego East girls’ basketball program has never celebrated an undefeated Southwest Prairie Conference season, but the Wolves took another step closer to that goal on Friday night with a 63-37 win over visiting Oswego.

The Wolves completed their 14-0 run through the league on Tuesday with a 52-27 win over Plainfield Central in the regular season finale, gaining valuable momentum heading into the postseason. This is the first outright conference championship for Oswego East, which also has a school-record 24 wins this year.

“We have the title now, but for them, they just want to keep winning,” Oswego East head coach Abe Carretto said. “There’s something about this team; they get after it when they need to. They now want to sweep it all.”

Oswego East (24-2) received its highest playoff seed in school history, seeded second behind Class 4A defending state champion Benet Academy. The postseason begins Feb. 16 in the Minooka Regional, with the Wolves facing the winner of the playin game between No. 15 Metea Valley and No. 18 Joliet West.

“They’re excited. It’s an improvement from last year and this time we just have to make sure we go in and make sure we do what we’re supposed to do and get things done,” Car-

Oswego East’s Camryn Smiley (11) looks to pass against Oswego’s Ashley McCance (right) during Friday’s game. retto said.

On Friday, Oswego (4-25, 2-12) traveled to Oswego East looking for improvement after a 45-point loss in mid-December and nearly cut that deficit in half against a talented Wolves’ roster.

Oswego East’s Ty Battle had an explosive first quarter, scoring 18 points in the first eight minutes to help the Wolves to a 23-8 lead. Oswego’s Kira Sneed came off the bench to score five points for the Panthers, but Oswego East’s Jada Boatright also entered the game and poured in six quick points to build a 31-13 lead.

Jesinde Thomas hit a three-pointer

for Oswego East late in the first half and the Wolves led 38-18 at intermission.

Thomas scored five straight in the third quarter for a 46-25 game, and Sydney Schultz completed a threepoint play in the fourth quarter to help extend the Wolves’ advantage, 61-35 before the starters exited the game for Oswego East. Boatright scored all 22 of her game-high points in the first half, with Thomas scoring 12 and Boatright adding 11, and all three had 10 rebounds each.

Gemma Keegan led Oswego with 10 points, including six in the second half.

“They have so many weapons, and for their sake I hope they can get to Benet because I can see them going real far,” Oswego head coach Dave Beebe said. “If we’re competitive and we can show the second time around that we’ve improved and we’re getting better, that’s all I’m asking right now. When we get in the playoffs, anything can happen.”

Oswego received the No. 21 seed and will face No. 12 Naperville North in the Yorkville Regional play-in game on Feb. 15, with the winner moving on to face No. 5 Neuqua Valley. The host Foxes are the highest seed in the bracket at No. 4.

“I’m just happy we don’t have to play Oswego East again,” Beebe said.

“You throw the records out, and we think we have a realistic chance to win a game or two if we play four quarters.”

Oswego East’s Nay Nay Clark (1) gets control of a loose ball against Oswego’s Ashley McCance (left) and Gemma Keegan (right) during Friday’s Southwest Prairie Conference game.

Both Oswego East head coach Jeremy Hillman and Oswego head coach Dan Okoren had a feeling the Wolves, Panthers, Waubonsie Valley and West Aurora would be the four girls’ bowling teams to advance out of the Oswego East Regional and into the Reavis Sectional on Saturday, and they were right.

Waubonsie Valley won the regional, which was held at the Funway in Batavia last Saturday, with 6,316 pins. Oswego East was second at 6,275, West Aurora was third (6,065) and Oswego was fourth (5,868).

Yorkville missed qualifying as a team, as the Foxes finished fifth with 5,522 pins.

“We’ll take it. Going into this tournament, our goal was to shoot around 6,350,” Hillman said. “We were in the lead all the way through Game 4, but hats off to Waubonsie Valley. We finished way before they did. They still had four frames to go, so they knew the number they had to get.

I was very happy wit the way our girls bowled.”

“We knew we needed to do a job (to advance), and we did it,” Okoren added.

The individual winner of the regional was Oswego East’s Abby Ragsdale, who bowled a 1,405 series. The Wolves were also led by Sam Perez (1,266), Mallory Weisbrodt (1,235), Kiana Krahulik (1,204), Sam Mattern (619) and Ashley Smith (546).

“Abby was over her set number. All we need her to shoot is a 1,350 and the rest of the girls will pick up the rest, and she picked up a 1,405,” Hillman said. “She’s a heck of a bowler now, and she’s bowling some great games and doing whatever she can to help the team out.”

Oswego was led by Taylor Kies (1,265, seventh place overall), Brittany Breedlove (1,244), Haley Staniszewski (1,174), Haley Douglas (1,138) and Rachel Clifton (1,047).

“Taylor had a big day and Brittany has been steady for us all season,” Okoren said.

Both Hillman and Okoren would not be surprised again if these same four teams were able to advance out of the Reavis Sectional and to the state tournament, which is scheduled to take place on Feb. 19-20 at The Cherry Bowl in Rockford.

“If these four teams bowl the way they are capable of, there’s no way they won’t make it to state,” Hillman said.

“Just like last Saturday, we are not going to take anything granted,” Okoren added. “We’re looking forward to going out and performing.”

FREE THROWS SEAL WIN

Wolves create one-point game, but Panthers hold on for 42-38 victory

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com With 12 seconds left on the clock, Oswego senior guard Jacob Niesman stood at the foul line in front of a packed gymnasium at Oswego East with the game on the line.

Oswego held a slim 39-38 lead over the Wolves, and Niesman nailed his first attempt. The second bounced off the back of the rim and Oswego East grabbed the rebound, but the Wolves turned the ball over in front of their bench. Niesman was fouled again to stop the clock with 2.8 to go, and this time the 5-foot-9 point guard made both free throws to help Oswego seal a 42-38 win on Friday.

“I’ve never been in that situation before,” Niesman said. “We practice free throws all the time, but it doesn’t simulate the atmosphere here. I did miss a couple free throws, but I came through at the end.”

Oswego (15-6) has now won three straight after enduring a four-game skid in late January, and the Panthers maintain a second-place standing in the Southwest Prairie Conference with a 7-3 record. Minooka leads the race, improving to 9-1 after a win over Romeoville on Friday.

With the game tied at 8 after the opening quarter of play, Oswego’s Brice Robinson stepped up with a field goal and a blocked shot on the opposite end, which created a scoring opportunity for Malique Ross to give Oswego a 19-16 lead. The duo knocked in four more points before halftime to give Oswego a 25-17 lead at intermission.

Oswego East held Oswego to just six points in the third quarter and the Wolves began to chip away at their deficit. Derek Dorsey’s three-pointer cut Oswego’s lead to single digits, 2921, and Trevor Ross completed a threepoint play late in the period for a 31-25 score. But with 5.8 seconds left in the third, he wasn’t done yet. Trevor Ross (14 points) scored two more before the horn to create a 31-27 game entering the fourth quarter.

“Our guards were throwing the ball carelessly, trying to make home-run plays that we’re trying to teach these guys not to make,” Oswego head coach Matt Borrowman said. “We want to build a 12-point lead to an 18-point lead and extend that. When you turn the ball over like that, it allows a team like Oswego East, who is very good, to stay

In the fourth, Oswego East’s Mitchell Glende (10 points) had a driving layup with 3:31 remaining for a 36-30 score, and created a 38-34 game with his three-pointer at the 1:19 mark. Trevor Ross found his way into the post to cut Oswego’s lead down to two, 38-36.

“We made mistakes down the stretch and our Achilles heel all year has been our free throws,” Oswego East head coach Steve Szymanski said.

“We both made 12 free throws, but we attempted 24. We missed a lot of layups, and we’re not finishing at the line.

When you’re in close games, and you miss that many free throws, you’re not going to come out on the winning side

too much. It’s frustrating.”

Oswego East is now 9-12 overall and 4-6 in SPC play after picking up a 51-42 win over East Aurora in the Ernie Kivisto Shootout on Saturday.

The Wolves travel to Downers Grove South next Tuesday for a non-conference game at 6 p.m. Oswego will host Romeoville next Saturday at 6:30 p.m. in its annual Hall of Fame game.

‘He really is the face of Newark’ Longtime fire chief reflects on career

I

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com t all started in December, or maybe it was back in 1953.

Regardless of when it started, there now is a street in the village of Newark named after former longtime fire chief Lowell Mathre.

A section of Main Street at Jackson Street in front of the fire barn in Newark is marked as “Honorary Lowell Mathre Drive.”

“It was quite an honor,” Mathre said. “The town was founded in 1835 and it was the first time that I know of in the history of the town that anybody has had a street named after him in all these years. So I kind of feel honored about that.”

The question of why it’s there is something that is easy to answer. Newark resident CJ Fifield has the answer and he says it’s quite simple.

“He really is the face of Newark,” he said.

Fifield says he had the idea to name a street after Mathre, who was chief of the Newark Fire District for more than 50 years.

“I approached the City Council with the idea of honoring him because he is the face of Newark, and the city council was like – ‘The whole street?’” Fifield said.

“And I said, ‘No, just in front of the fire barn’ and I even offered to pay for the sign because I just thought it was that important that we honor this man.”

The village hosted a ceremony unveiling the street sign during the WinterFest community celebration Dec. 5.

“He thought that he was getting a parking stall at the fire

used for parades.

“It would still be workable if we needed it,” he said.

Mathre adds that he’s glad he is not just starting out as a firefighter today.

“I’m kind of glad that I don’t have the responsibilities with all the computers and changes,” he said. “You almost have to be a college professor to understand everything.”

Thanks to an understanding wife, Van, a good, dedicated crew and a supportive community, Mathre said he hasn’t had to go through some of the things other area fire chiefs have had to face.

“My wife put up with a lot of things from me and she helped a lot,” he said. “It was exciting.”

‘Some pretty good fires’

Mathre still recalls his first call, which turned out to be a false alarm.

The first night he joined, the fire whistle blew and he ran back into town, about four blocks from the firehouse, and was ready for action.

“I got there and they couldn’t figure out what was going on,” he said. “They had a pop cooler that was sitting in the firehouse there and someone bumped the pop cooler, and there was a relay switch for our siren right there that they jarred it enough to set it off.”

He remembers that it took a while to figure out what was goPhoto provided ing on.

Kifowit: Old cellphones Sign-ups for park district can help Mutual Ground spring programs to begin SHAW MEDIA Continuing her efforts to assist victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, state Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, D-Oswego, is organizing a used cellphone drive, where residents are encouraged to drop off old cellphones at her constituent service office at 1677 Montgomery Road, Suite 116, in Aurora.

“For the past several years, I have coordinated with Mutual Ground in helping them collect hundreds of used cellphones to benefit victims and their families,” Stephanie Kifowit said. “These Kifowit cellphones are sometimes the only lifeline survivors have to escape their abusers.”

Residents are invited to drop off cellphones, accessories and chargers for Mutual Ground. Donated cellphones will be reprogrammed and given to people in need or recycled with the proceeds going towards helping victims.

Mutual Ground is one of the oldest and largest domestic violence and sexual as-

sault service agencies in Illinois. They provide 24-hour hotlines staffed by trained crisis intervention advocates who counsel over 2,000 women a month.

Those interested in donating their time or other resources can reach Mutual Ground at 630-897-0084.

This past year, Kifowit worked to provide support to victims of domestic violence by supporting a new law giving domestic violence victims more time in paying start up fees for utilities.

She also sponsored legislation to help prosecutors have time to bring rapists to justice.

Under her new law, the time to collect and complete the analysis of any evidence related to a rape would not count toward the statute of limitations.

This gives investigators more time to thoroughly investigate offenses and cuts down on the number of instances where an offender might avoid prison time because the statute of limitations has ended.

For more information, contact Kifowit’s constituent service office by phone at 630-585-1308, by email at Stephanie.Kifowit@att.net, or by visiting www.ILDistrict84.com.

After he retired as chief in 2012, the Illinois Fire Chiefs Association named him chief emeritus, a title he says only has been designated to about 30 chiefs over the years.

“That was quite an honor for our small department to get that,” he said.

“To be chief emeritus, I feel pretty humble and proud of that.”

Mathre will start his 64th year as a volunteer firefighter next month.

“I don’t go out on the calls. Once in a while I’ll go, but not very often, it depends on what it is,” he says. “I laugh about it – I shut the doors if it’s cold and leave them open if it’s warm.”

Mathre says he has been a volunteer so long it’s just automatic for him now, though he admits that the job is not for everyone.

“I don’t go out on the calls.

Once in a while I’ll go, but not very often, it depends on what it is. I laugh about it – I shut the doors if it’s cold and leave them open if it’s warm.”

Lowell Mathre Former Newark fire chief who is in his 64th year as a volunteer firefighter

“We’ve had some guys come in and want to be a firefighter, but they go out on the first call or the first bad accident and they can’t handle that,” he said.

However, for Mathre being a firefighter is a family affair. His oldest son, Jeff, now is chief and his other son, Greg, is assistant chief. He also has a grandson who is a captain in the department, as well as a grandson who is an assistant chief in the Lisbon Fire Department. Another grandson is a firefighter and three granddaughters were on the department.

“I have so many in the family – I laugh that we could out vote them,” Mathre says. “I don’t know how many in the family have been on, I can’t keep up with them all. It’s been great and I was really fortunate to have good trustees and a lot of good help.

The community has also backed us whenever they’ve needed anything.”

Fifield first worked with Mathre in the early 1970s when he was a state trooper.

“The fire department is his home,” he said. “When I was a state trooper, God, if there was a wreck out this way I was working with those guys, and for a small department they’re great.”

In 1980, the fire district got a new station and Mathre looked at the district map and reflected on how many accidents had occurred along Route 71 between routes 47 and 52. He says he took a black pen and went down Route 71 and put in a black X for just the accidents he could remember since the road was created in the 1940s. He estimates he made more than 40 marks of fatal accidents on the map.

“One time we talked about putting crosses out but it got to be so many that you would start to think it looked like a cemetery there,” he said.

When asked how many accidents he estimated he has responded to over the years, Mathre draws a blank at first but then one accident jumps to mind.

“We’ve had some real bad ones,”

he said. “There have been so many of them.”

Mathre remembered one night when some Caterpillar workers were coming home and they were involved in a crash. The accident happened at a place Mathre refers to as “Skunk Hallow” on Route 71 between Sleepy Hollow and Hollenback Road.

At the time Mathre was working the third shift himself at Caterpillar.

“It was a truck that they hit and it got called in as a truck fire ... both of those guys got killed,” he said. “It was just gruesome. We got down there ... it just makes you quiver when you think about it. It’s not a pleasant sight to see.

Sometimes you don’t go to sleep very good when you get home at night.”

Mathre says many of the accidents he has seen were due to carelessness on the part of the driver or slippery weather conditions.

“There have been some that have been bad and they were fortunate to survive,” he said.

What kept him serving?

“Sometimes I wonder,” he said.

“Why am I still doing this but somebody has got to do it.”

Mathre says he has had a lot of good help through the years, which made his job easy.

“If I had a chance to I’d do it all over again, I would,” he said.

PADS discusses mental illness SHAW MEDIA Site coordinators for Public Action to Deliver Shelter (PADS) of Kendall County recently held their mid-season meeting at the Yorkville Public Library.

The main topic of discussion was mental illness, recognizing its signs and symptoms, and suggesting appropriate responses for volunteers, according to Anne Engelhardt, executive director of Kendall County PADS. “PADS is operating very well overall, thanks to the strong leadership skills of the site coordinators,” she said. “This year we have been very aware of the mental health conditions of our guests.”

Speakers at the meeting were counselor Rose Romero and Jason Andrade, director of mental health at the Kendall County Health Department. PADS board members were also in attendance.

“In an organization this big, with more than 520 volunteers, covering more than 25 percent of the hours in a year, we can expect to experience a few hiccups or bumps,” Engelhardt said. “I’m always amazed and appreciate how well PADS functions.”

Through April 16, Kendall County PADS is providing homeless shelters from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. at these sites on the following days: • Sundays at Cross Lutheran Church, 8609 Route 47, Yorkville; • Mondays, Yorkville Congregational United Church of Christ, 409 Center Parkway, Yorkville; • Tuesdays, Harvest New Beginnings, 5315 Douglas Road, Oswego; • Wednesdays, United Methodist Church of Plano, 219 North Hale Street, Plano; • Thursdays, Trinity United Methodist Church, 2505 Boomer Lane, Yorkville; • Fridays, Church of the Good Shepherd, 5 West Washington Street, Oswego; • Saturdays, St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, 53 Fernwood Road, Boulder Hill.

Overnight guests at PADS receive a hot meal, a safe place to sleep, breakfast, and a packaged lunch to go. Since this PADS season began last October, the nonprofit organization has provided more than 500 overnight stays. Those who wish to volunteer or donate may do so online at kendallcountypads.org or by calling 331-207-8903.

Some PADS guests own cars and are thus able to drive themselves to the shelter sites. But for those without transportation, Yorkville Express taxi service has been picking up and dropping off PADS guests at eight locations throughout Kendall County.

Many other county residents have found creative ways to help the homeless. Suzy’s Pizza of Yorkville has been donating “care bags” of food to PADS. The Fox Valley Flyers girls’ gymnastic team collected 138 items of cold-weather clothing. Salon Giovani in Plainfield donated coats, boots, scarves, gloves, mittens and sweatshirts.

In addition, Cub Scout Pack 348 of Oswego will be making and bringing cookies to the PADS site at St. Luke’s church this Saturday night. And 15-year-old Sydney Gonzales of St. Patrick Parish in Yorkville is heading up a drive for donations of “care kits” for PADS guests.

“As a group of caring and compassionate people, we continue to work as a team for our mission to provide shelter, food, and warm hospitality for our homeless guests,” Engelhardt said. “I am honored to be among the dedicated, loving leaders and volunteers.”

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.

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.

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 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 allergy skin testing and overall reduced allergy symptoms.

What are you waiting for? Call today to schedule your ALLERGY EVALUATION with Dr. Malik.

Tired of KNEE Pain… But Don’t Want Surgery?

DO YOU SUFFER FROM:

*Knee pain affecting daily activities? *Difficulty getting up from the floor? *Pain going up/down stairs? *Knee pain with jogging/running? *Knee pain getting up from a chair? *Popping/cracking sounds in your knee?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you could be suffering from knee arthritis. The CDC states that as of 2005, 26.9 million people suffer from knee osteoarthritis (OA) which typically begins after the age of 40 years old. OA in the knees can be very painful or just plain annoying at times.

Here’s the good news!

There is a simple in office procedure that can help to reduce the pain and dysfunction caused by knee OA. This simple procedure is extremely effective and covered by most insurance companies. With knee OA, there is less cushion between your bones. Our simple procedure injects a solution which increases the cushion between your bones. It’s really that

simple. The treatment protocol takes about 1 month and involves some therapy, knee supports, and injections (5 in total). As a qualified physician, I have been providing these injections for over 15 years. I continue to see successful treatments over and over again. There have been over 280 million injections performed worldwide giving me confidence in its safety and effectiveness. Call my office to schedule an evaluation to see if you are a candidate for this simple procedure. One of our most recent success stories comes from Chery.

She Says: “I came in with serious knee pain. I got a diagnosis on my first visit after an evaluation and x-rays.

Within a very short time after starting treatment, I was feeling better. I am very pleased with my results!” Chery

You don’t have to suffer anymore.

Call 630-553-2111 to schedule your evaluation today.

We accept most major medical insurances as well as Medicare.

“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”

Those who are holding the smile usually rate the joke as being funnier, presumably are already halfwayby laughing to start o one is born a hero or a because coward.theyBoth are made the many with.action The moral of the experiment, if experiments acts and ensuing habits of which they develop.

last about a week, depending on conditions in the home. To have bloom over a longer timeframe, keep repeating the forcing process every few days. Consider using a variety of plants to create a colorful bloom show or mix with a bouquet of purchased cut flowers to provide height and texture changes in the arrangement using your woody branches.

Examples of shrubs and small ornamental flowering trees include Forsythia, Amelanchier, Flowering Almond, Bridal Wreath Spirea, and Flowering Crabapple. Fruit trees like peach and pear can also be forced to bloom.

A good tip is to wrap the branches with a moist towel to help soften the bud scales for a few days. Flower buds with begin to open anywhere from one week up to four weeks after the forcing begins. Crabapples and the fruit trees are good examples of ones that will take three to four weeks to force.

Plan to change out the water every couple of days especially if it becomes cloudy or develops bacteria. Tap water from the sink is still the best.

COUNTYWIDE | Kendall County Record • Oswego Ledger • Plano Record •

It is way too early to be doing anything outside to brighten our view from inside, yet you can bring some of that spring color inside by forcing blooms on a number of flowering shrubs and ornamental trees in your home landscape.

Early spring flowering shrubs produce their flower buds the summer before, and after enough winter weather, those flowers are ready to bloom.

It is the combination of warmer temperatures, the water provided and the stored energy in the branches that allow us to enjoy the blooms.

To get started, pick those shrubs you know bloom early in your yard and chose branches that have lots of flower buds. Flower buds are typically larger and plumper than leaf buds. Take those branches from the side or rear of the shrub so you still get a great bloom show when spring arrives.

Branches can be cut at any length, but those between six and 18 inches work best. The newer wood is likely to have more flower buds. If branches are taken while frozen, thaw them slowly in a cooler part of the home overnight before proceeding.

I always recommend clean cuts when pruning, but in this case crushing the branch ends will keep them from healing over and limiting water uptake.

Once that is done, place those branches in a bucket of warm water and place them where the temperatures are around 60 to 70 degrees.

On the floor, below a window, on an outside wall will work. Those branches will bloom without the direct sun.

In fact, warmer temperatures and direct sunlight will lessen the quality of the bloom and they won’t last as long either.

Indoors the blooms will often only

Sounds Too Good To Be True… Doesn’t It?

Here’s How To See If This Technology Can Help You For Free

Jason Provost came to our clinic with neck pain and numbness & tingling into his hands. He had tried chiropractic, physical therapy, and massage which used to help him in the past, but they were not helping him anymore. He wasn’t able to ride his mountain bike anymore without being in excruciating pain. He suffered for 3 years before he started our non-surgical spinal decompression treatment.

After 2 months of treatment, he was able to go to the Rocky Mountains and go mountain biking!

He sent this cell phone pic to me thanking me for helping him get his life back.

Cindy Brown had been suffering from bulging and herniated discs for 15 years. She said, “When I came to Dr. Berkey, I could barely walk due to constant pain. I was missing out on life as a mother and wife. I had to cancel our family vacation due to my pain. It was the worst pain I have ever had in my whole life. Childbirth was nothing compared to my back pain. I had been to two other chiropractors who treated me, but couldn’t help me. They both told me my only option was back surgery. I scheduled a qualifying consultation with Dr. Berkey and was accepted into his non-surgical spinal treatment program. After 10 weeks of treatment, I am completely pain free. I just got to go to Hawaii!! I highly recommend Advanced Physical Medicine of Yorkville.”

Darin Peterson said, “I have been a firefighter & paramedic for over 25 years. My back pain was getting progressively worse to the point that it was effecting my job and my personal life. Chiropractic care wasn’t helping me much anymore. I had severe low back pain and sciatica into my left leg. My left toes were numb. I came to Dr. Berkey’s clinic to see if the decompression treatment would help. He ordered an MRI of my low back and found a large disc herniation. I went through his decompression program and now have my life back. I can do anything and everything I want to do now.

After 2 weeks of treatment, I was 75% improved already. I highly recommend Advanced Physical Medicine of Yorkville.”

Kelly Michelson 630.551.1111

kelly@michelsonteam.com kellymichelson.bairdwarner.com My husband and I recently bought a home with Kelly and Josh Michelson. We loved them! They went above and beyond what I would have expected. I know I sent texts at 9pm on a Sunday and got an immediate response no matter what time of day it was. Either Kelly or Josh were always available to show us houses during the time and day we picked. There was never any waiting, we always asked Kelly a million questions and she was so nice and answered everything thoroughly. Kelly and Josh I feel like genuinely care about their clients. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else besides the Michelson team!

Beth David 815.325.3563

beth@michelsonteam.com bethdavid.bairdwarner.com Working with Beth David has made the process of selling my mother’s house so much easier for me and my family.

She was always forthcoming with answers to any questions we had. Beth’s skill was obvious as she dealt with the problems we encountered. She was very professional in her treatment of the buyers, agents and financial issues. I am very grateful that Beth David was with us every step of the way, and we reached a successful closing date . Thank you, thank you, Beth!

Patty Harbin 630-777-5861

patty@michelsonteam.com pattyharbin.bairdwarner.com There are many Realtors who can sell your home, but there are few who are true problem solvers. When problems arise, most Realtors have few resources at their disposal. With Patty Harbin, when problems arose, she didn’t throw up her hands. Instead she worked even harder to find the solution that we needed. We contacted Patty to enlist her to sell our home. Unfortunately, we learned that our home value would not support a sale or a refinance to lower our extremely high interest rate. However, Patty didn’t walk away from us even though there was no financial gain for her. She engaged several resources for us which enabled us to remain in the home we love! What more could you ask from a Realtor? We are customers for life.

Brenda Weaver 630.330.6195

brenda@michelsonteam.com brendaweaver.bairdwarner.com We are fortunate to have a new addition to the Michelson Team with Brenda Weaver joining us this year. She brings to the team a wealth of knowledge, experience, high integrity, & a caring heart!

Brenda helped me downsize from a 2,000 sq. ft. townhouse to a 1,000 sq. ft. apartment at a senior center. Brenda was extremely helpful leading up to everything. She was able to offer suggestions for staging my home to attract buyers, and made recommendations for agents to handle the estate sale. Brenda gave me peace of mind, and made the process easier. She knew her business yet she was very helpful and accepting and patient. It gave me the feeling of confidence that I could get through it. adno=0372620

‘DamNation’ presentation set for March 10 SHAW MEDIA Has the conversation changed on the benefit of building or removing dams in our rivers and streams? The subject of dam removal and the role dams have played is the topic of the film presentation of “DamNation,” to be shown at 7 p.m. March 10 at the Montgomery Village Hall, 200 N. River St. The program is co-sponsored by The Conservation Foundation and the vil-

lage of Montgomery.

With discussions of dams and dam removal becoming more frequent, “DamNation” addresses the role dams play in local and national waterways.

Removal of every dam is not the goal, but informing communities about their local dams will help them decide if dam removal is the best option to improve the health of rivers and surrounding communities.

Steve Pescitelli, fisheries biologist from the Illinois Department of Natural

Resources, will also be present to lead a discussion about local streams and dams, and fish populations and habitat. The removal of several dams along the Fox River and its tributaries has resulted in noticeable improvements by allowing the river to flow freely, reducing the amount of algae and increasing healthy oxygen levels.

Everyone is welcome to this free program; reservations are not necessary. The film will be shown in the boardroom at the Village Hall.
