dation of the Spring Waiver Report to the General Assembly, clearly indicated their support for the district’s initiative.

The first piloted online learning courses to its students during the summer of 2013 using instructors from the online provider Edgenuity.

Within a year, it replaced Edgenuity’s instructors with its own staff.

During the summer of 2014, 127 students engaged in online summer courses with a 94 percent pass rate, and with 75 percent of students earning A’s, B’s and C’s.

In the fall of 2014, the District offered four online courses to 81 students. The pass rate for these students ranged from 97 percent in consumer education to 100 percent in health. The number of students receiving A’s, B’s and C’s was similarly high, 98 percent for health and 97 percent for consumer education.

During the summer of 2015, 640 students enrolled in 23 online offerings taught by district staff.

This past semester, the district had 156 high school students enrolled in credit-bearing, online coursework for initial credit.

The district has selected two physical education courses to strengthen its online platform, personal wellness and lifetime fitness. Both courses meet the statutory requirements set forth in Section 27-7, State Goals 19-24 and IAPHERD’s Criteria for Evaluating Physical Education. Each course would require students to complete five hours of fitness (cardiovascular exercises, stretching or weightlifting) throughout the week, and to record their physical activity and/or exercise data using a monitoring device, such as a Fitbit or Polar heart rate monitor.

Fitness logs would be reviewed by physical education teachers during a face-to-face weekly or bi-weekly conferences to ensure accuracy and accountability and to set appropriate benchmarks and pacing expectations.

The hybrid course would also include regular opportunities for the student’s participation in a menu of group activities and supervised assessments.

The five hours or 300 minutes of fitness activity required by the hybrid course would be an increase of 50 minutes or 20 percent over the traditional physical education class period required under the School Code.

Assessments expected to increase an average of 8 percent this year SHAW MEDIA Kendall County taxpayers may have to dig a little deeper when their property tax bills arrive in the mail this spring.

Assessments across the country are expected to increase on average about 8 percent this year, according to Andy Nicoletti, the county chief assessor.

Individual tax bills are calculated by multiplying the total tax rate of local governmental agencies by the total equalized assessed value (EAV) of each property, minus any exemptions. The tax bills the county will mail to property owners in a few months will be based on assessment data collected by assessors in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Under state law, all properties have to be assessed at one-third their fair market value. Nicoletti told the Kendall County Board Tuesday that according to his studies the EAV for the entire county

ment rise was good news.

“So you’re telling me that the taxpayer is going to be looking at an 8 percent increase in their assessed valuation on the average?” Davidson said.

Nicoletti told Davidson he was correct in his assumption.

“The assessments on average will be coming up about 8 percent, which means on average the tax rates will come down 8 percent,” Nicoletti said. “That doesn’t Andy Nicoletti mean your taxes will (increase).”

Kendall County chief assessor “This does not equate necessarily to an 8 percent increase in a person’s property taxes?” Purcell asked.

Nicoletti said that according to the is estimated at about $3 billion this year, Illinois statute known as the Property about an 8.1 percent increase from 2015.

“From that point of view, things are Tax Extension Law Limit (PTELL) as aslooking good,” Nicoletti said. “We are sessments increase tax rates decreases and as assessments decrease tax rates seeing some values coming back.”

Board members Bob Davidson and increase.

“If assessments decrease a taxing John Purcell were skeptical the assess-

body is not losing that money, it’s just being pushed to another taxpayer because you are going to get whatever your levy is, it’s just take a different amount of dollars per 100 to achieve that,” Nicoletti said.

Nicoletti also pointed out that the county sets the amount of the levy and not the rate for the money that is going to be received. If a homeowner’s assessment goes up by more than the tax rate decreases, Nicoletti said they will see an increase in taxes.

For instance the Menards distribution center in Plano received a tax assessment reduction and the amount of taxes from that reduction got spread to all the other properties within Little Rock Township, according to Nicoletti.

“So somebody picks up that tab some place,” Davidson concluded.

Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) voted unanimously, 7-0 Feb. 10 to recommend the General Assembly approve School District 308’s waiver request to provide high school students in 11th and 12th grades with the opportunity to receive physical education through a blended online curriculum.

If approved by the General Assembly, District 308 would be the first school district in the state to be allowed to provide online physical education for initial credit.

The State Board of Education will submit the district’s waiver request to the General Assembly as part of its 2016 Spring Waiver Report no later than March 1.

Once it reconvenes for the spring session, the General Assembly has 60 calendar days to disapprove any waiver requests contained in the report. If neither the House nor the Senate acts to disapprove any request during the 60-day period, then the waivers are deemed granted.

If approved, this waiver would become effective in August of 2016 for the 2016-17 and 2017-18 school years.

Superintendent Dr. Matthew Wendt said he is proud of the initiative’s alternative format that will increase both the amount of physical activity required per student and the percentage of students who engage in physical education, according to a press release provided by the district.

Presenting the district’s proposal at the ISBE meeting were Assistant Superintendent for Teaching and Learning Dr. Judith Minor, Executive Director of Secondary Education Jamie Max, Assistant Director of Professional Development Eric Watt, and Oswego Education Association Co-Presidents Elizabeth Palatine and Andrew Gothelf.

ISBE members applauded the district’s initiatives in the delivery of online and blended educational programs.

Board Secretary Melinda A. LaBarre praised the district for its work to help children and voiced her enthusiastic approval and support for the district’s current waiver for online physical education.

Board member Curt Bradshaw echoed LaBarre’s remarks and sought to ensure that the board’s recommen-

Student achievement gap an opportunity to work together

‘Well-regulated’

As we reported last week, members of PEGS (Parents for Education and Global Success) attended the School District 308 Board of Education meeting Feb. 8 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.

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

Winkfield, continued, “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.” She noted that in 2000 African American students represented just 3 percent of the district’s total enrollment. As of 2014, she said African American students comprised 8 percent of the district’s enrollment of more than 18,000 students.

Winkfield told the board 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 (IRC) 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.”

Citing standardized test score results, Winkfield added there has been no positive change in the achievement gap since 2006 and suggested that it reflects poorly on district families, teachers and students.

“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,” she said.

We applaud Winkfield and other members of PEGS for organizing and bringing the achievement gap issue to the attention of district administrators and the board. It is yet another indication of the many additional challenges the district faces as a result of its continuing enrollment growth.

We encourage administrators and members of PEGS to actively seek out information and learn from other school districts that have successfully narrowed the achievement gap. What steps did they take to succeed? What steps should be avoided? How long will it take before school officials and parents can reasonably expect to begin to see some positive results?

More immediately, we view Superintendent Dr. Matthew’ Wendt’s comment that district faculty “need training in how to reach – in the classroom – students of color” especially telling. As one of its first steps towards attempting to close the gap the board should make sure that all of the district’s faculty and administrative staff obtain that training as soon as possible.

For its part, PEGS should encourage its parent members to take an active role in their children’s education. The old adage that education begins at home with involved parents remains absolutely true. No school district can succeed without active support from parents at home.

Wendt also noted that the thorny issues of diversity and race are part of a broad, continuing “national discussion” and are not limited to the district. We agree, but the challenge of narrowing the achievement gap represents a local opportunity for the board, administrators, parents and teachers to work together, find workable solutions and advance the education for all District 308 students.

To the Editor: Last week’s letters in the Forum included yet another objecting to the regulation of guns and citing the Second Amendment for support. I would like to point out that the very first word of the amendment (albeit a compound word) assumes that the availability of guns in society would, in fact, be “well-regulated”. I would like to hear the gun proponents articulate exactly what degree of regulation they think would fulfill that part of the amendment and the Founders’ intent.

Library board’s challenge

To the Editor: It was exciting to read in last week’s Ledger that a parcel of land near Oswego’s northeastern approach to downtown (near Rt. 25) may be acquired by the Oswego Public Library District (OPL) - Feb. 11 edition. To know that this land could be preserved for the community and patrons in its natural form is fantastic. It would be extremely beneficial to save this land from a commercial strip-mall doom. This will maintain a beautiful entrance to downtown along the shores of the Waubonsie Creek. Oh, but wait. I also read about two elements of modern downtown Oswego.

First, the obnoxious four-letter word “r-a-z-e.”

The old village hall is now gone, like so many places, to attract a developer to buy that land for redevelopment. An Oswego barn, a true symbol of Oswego’s yesteryear, has been situated at the corner of North St. and North Madison St. for generations. Of course, the article states that non-essential structures will be razed. That barn is then on the hit-list for destruction. Second, the blight words “parking lot” are included because patrons need more parking. (Throughout our country, more neighborhoods have been eliminated for parking lots that are seldom fully used.)

I am hopeful that if the OPL Board does move forward with this proposal that they would consider these preservation and beautification questions and work toward the most positive solutions for all - patrons, neighborhood homeowners, and the business owners. Where will the parking lot be placed? There is a moderately busy set of railroad tracks to the west. To the south, the Waubonsie Creek flows, on occasion very rapidly with rain water runoff from the commercial Rt. 34 zone. As the creek nears the Fox River, the shoreline is always eroding because of this runoff. Where will the new parking lot runoff go? The board must consider the ecological preservation of the creek, as well as the safety of patrons using this new lot. How will the patrons

cross the creek?

Parking lots can be down right ugly. What steps will the board take for beautification and preservation: to maintain current trees on the parcel, to protect the creek bed and limestone wall, and to develop a safe walking area without destroying the shoreline? Rather than destroying the barn, how can it become a part of the library campus complex, helping to maintain Oswego history? (I believe that the house and modern two-car garage on North Madison St. are no longer a part of the parcel being considered.)

The challenge for the board is to acquire the land to make an attractive addition to the library campus and which will also enhance this entrance to downtown. Do not just immediately rip out trees, tear down structures, pave over the ground and endanger the Waubonsie Creek environment. Please save this property appropriately.

Sheriff’s response questioned

To the Editor: Would you as a taxpayer be OK funding an ex-Oswego Township employee’s cell phone for over a year because she was married to the Oswego Township Highway Commissioner?

FOIA documents I have acquired of the Oswego Township’s cell phone records show Highway Commissioner Gary Grosskopf allowed his wife, Chelly Pasdertz, the use of a taxpayer funded cell phone for 13 months after she quit working for Oswego Township and permanently moved to Florida. Additionally, Mr. Grosskopf renamed his wife’s cell phone number “Office Back-Up” in the Highway Department’s billing records.

I filed a written complaint with the Kendall County Sheriff’s Department on Feb. 2, 2016. After the short investigation, Sheriff Dwight Baird sent me documents which showed two days after CBS2 News aired a story about Grosskopf living in Port Charlotte, FL, while retaining his full time elected position in Oswego, he wrote a personal check on July 24, 2015, for $787.62: the sum total of those 13 months his wife used the township’s cell phone.

What bothered me most was Sheriff Baird’s comment: “Since the funds have been paid for the use of the phone, there is no criminal charge to investigate.”

If I had done the same thing to the Kendall County Sheriff’s Department then was caught by the Oswego Ledger whose reporting pressured me to return the funds, would I also get to walk away free and clear by Sheriff Baird?

Kendall County’s first courthouse in Yorkville was this frame building. This photo was probably taken in 1894 shortly before it was torn down to make way for a private residence. The 1864 courthouse with cupola is visible to the left rear. represent that divers petitions are in circulation, praying for various divisions of said county and in such a manner as virtually to ruin the same. Some of your petitioners have signed heretofore other addresses on this subject, without defining boundaries, and some without due examination, but now present this their prayer as the result of their ‘sober second thoughts.’”

Despite the opposition, the movement to create a new county advanced at a fast pace. On Dec. 30, 1840, State Rep. Dodge presented “the petitions and remonstrance of sundry citizens of LaSalle and Kane counties; which, without reading, on his motion were referred to a select committee,” according to the Journal of the House of Representatives of the Twelfth General Assembly of the State of Illinois.

On Jan. 11, 1841, the petition for a new county was referred to the General Assembly’s Committee on Counties. Then on Jan. 16, Rep. Carpenter reported a bill titled “An act to create the county of Orange” for its first reading.

By then, the legislature had decided to create not one but two new counties, and Democrats were lobbying for them to be named after politicians prominent in their party – one in honor of Democratic stalwart U.S. Sen. Felix Grundy of Tennessee. But the attempt to name the other county after one of former President Andrew Jackson’s closest political operatives stalled.

On Jan. 19, the Orange County

bill was read for the second time, after which Rep. Peck moved to change the name of the county from “Orange” to “Kendall.” The amendment was approved, with Rep. Abraham Lincoln voting in favor.

The new name honored Jackson’s former Postmaster General, Amos Kendall. As Postmaster General, Kendall virtually invented the political patronage system, handing out sought-after postmaster slots to Jackson loyalists, making local post offices Jackson’s grassroots eyes and ears throughout the nation. Unsurprisingly, Kendall was disliked by Jackson’s Whig opposition.

Following the successful amendment to name the county Kendall, Whig Rep. Gillespie cynically suggested inserting “Honest Amos” in front of “Kendall,” echoing charges made during an 1837 Congressional debate when U.S. Rep. Henry A. Wise of Virginia branded the Postmaster General “Honest Iago” Kendall during a particularly nasty argument about the nation’s financial policy. Iago was the friend of Othello in Shakespeare’s play who whispered lies about doomed Desdimona, and Wise suggested Kendall was playing the same role with President Jackson regarding the nation’s finances. The insult stuck, to be revived four years later during the debate on establishing Kendall County. However, Gillespie’s amendment was tabled and the new county – just plain Kendall County –was approved, 54-27.

Writing in Ottawa’s Illinois Free

Trader, the paper’s Springfield correspondent reported: “…the bill for the creation and organization of the two new counties off of LaSalle and Kane came up in order in the House.

Some debate arose on a motion made

by Mr. Peck, to change the name of the county formed of part of LaSalle and Kane counties from “Orange” to “Kendall,” but the motion prevailed…The bill to organize the county of “Grundy” was referred to the canal committees...These counties, you are probably aware, will include a strip off of the east side of LaSalle eighteen miles in width and one tier of townships of the south end of Kane county.”

On Feb. 3, an act to create the county of Kendall was passed for the last time by the House, and was sent to the Senate for its concurrence.

The Illinois Free Trader’s editor gloomily predicted on Feb. 4 that: “The bills for the division of our fine county will pass and Kendall and Grundy be established in all probability. However much I may regret that the county has been divided at this time, and under its embarrassed circumstances at this time, no blame can be attached to our representative and senator who have been most fully instructed in relation to it.”

His prediction proved correct when, after successfully passing the state senate, Kendall County was officially created by an act of the General Assembly on Feb. 19, 1841.

Thursday, February 18, 2016

Exactly 175 years ago on Friday, the Illinois General Assembly approved legislation establishing Kendall County.

The legislation appropriated three townships (Oswego, Bristol, and Little Rock) from the south end of Kane County and six townships (Fox, Kendall, NaAuSay, Seward, Lisbon, and Big Grove) from the east side of LaSalle County to create the new nine-township county.

For residents of the small, but growing villages of Yorkville and Newark, it was a hard two-day journey to the LaSalle County seat at distant Ottawa. And those living in the villages of Oswego and Bristol (now the north side of Yorkville) had to travel north all the way to Geneva to do their county business.

Added to the inconvenience of travel in those pioneer days was the serious economic situation in which LaSalle County found itself after the Panic of 1837 resulted in halting construction of the Illinois and Michigan Canal.

Those problems meant little to settlers in northern LaSalle around Yorkville and Plattville and they became persuaded that their interests could best be served by forming a new county. Especially given such inconveniences as neighboring Bristol and Yorkville being located in separate counties.

A petition to establish the new county began circulating on Nov. 12, 1840, its preamble stating: “The petitions of the Subscribers, inhabitants of LaSalle, DeKalb, and Kane counties most respectfully Showeth that your petitioners suffer much inconvenience in doing all their business relative to their respective counties. By reason of the great Territory embraced in the said countys and believing that the time has now arrived when it has been made absolutely necessary that a new county be Laid off of those.”

The document was signed by 109 male settlers that was a virtual Who’s Who of Kendall County pioneers.

However, opposition and second thoughts about the plan soon emerged. In a petition dated Dec. 18, 1840, hundreds of LaSalle County residents, some of whom signed the first petition, asked the General Assembly to refrain from down-sizing LaSalle County: “Your petitioners, inhabitants of La Salle county,

Pending move to ‘Razorback Nation’ a dream come true Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your questions at askdrwendt@sd308.org.

Over the past several weeks, I have received many questions and comments about my future departure. Most of the communication aligned to the following: We were saddened to learn of your resignation from SD 308. There are many “rumors” about why you have chosen to leave. What is the truth? We understand family is a reason. Are there other reasons?

When is your last day? What will the board do now? Do you have thoughts about your replacement?

The current Superintendent of Schools in Fayetteville, Arkansas and I had a conversation last fall about his pending retirement and my connection with the Fayetteville area. The community’s proximity to immediate and extended family, former colleagues, decades-old friendships, and my alma mater caused Fayetteville to be a “home-awayfrom-home” for many years.

Our son, Ryan, is a senior at the University of Arkansas. Although he will be graduating in May, he has been accepted to medical school and has interest in other medical schools

ASK DR. WENDT Dr. Matthew Wendt within driving distance. Our daughter, Rachel, is attending Pittsburg State University in Kansas, which is an approximate 90-minute drive from Fayetteville.

I love being your superintendent and I enjoy a wonderful job. But, quality of life and location to family now supersede all other aspects of my career.

And, moving to Razorback Nation is a dream destination for me and my family.

I am very interested in pursuing other professional goals. I enjoy writing and have published several articles, worked on and presented research projects with others and consulted with school districts across the country.

In addition to those hobbies, I hope to teach graduate courses and help prepare university students interested in becoming school leaders. There are business and other educational interests beginning to develop. We want all of this to come

to fruition in an area that we plan to permanently call “home.”

And finally, Fayetteville Public Schools is one of the most honored school systems in the nation. With just less than 10,000 students, the school district enjoys high academic achievement and athletic programming ranked by ESPN as one of the Top 25 programs in America. The collaboration with the University of Arkansas is unique and the business community support is exceptional. I am blessed to have the opportunity to lead this school system and my interest in doing so has been a longtime aspiration.

Did I mention the warmer weather?

The Fayetteville Board of Education recently approved my new employment contract beginning July 1. Last Monday, the SD 308 Board of Education approved my resignation effective June 30.

The board has launched a locally-focused search for the next superintendent. I wish the board well in finding a person who can carry forward the board’s priorities, respect the system and frameworks created over the past several years and bring further sustainability in

leadership, teaching and support personnel.

School District 308 is rightfully a different and improved school system. The achievements over the past several years are a credit to incredible people. However, there is much work ahead for the board and next superintendent, yet the future is so bright.

For now, I look forward to the next several months as SD 308 completes board-approved initiatives and identifies new priorities to help create a better school system. I plan a smooth transition with my replacement and respect that ample time is available to offer personal good-byes and farewells.

Thank you for being supportive of me during my tenure as your superintendent. Enjoy the final weeks of winter and exciting school events throughout the spring semester.

Oswego sophomore girls capture second in conference play

Wolves knock off SPC leader Minooka

OSWEGO LEDGER Oswego hosted Plainfield East in their final game of the season on Feb. 9 and won 44-43.

With Oswego trailing the majority of the game, Holly Gotchie got the lead back for the Panthers with a steal and a layup with about 10 seconds left. Lindsey Jones scored 12 points and Emma Janiak hit three big three pointers. Katie Beebe had 10 points and five rebounds.

With the victory,Oswego finished second in conference with a 10-4 record. After starting the season 3-7, the team turned it around and went 15-4 in their remaining games to finish with an 18-11 overall record.

Boys Basketball

Oswego East Sophomore: Oswego East won a 60-55 game over Oswego in overtime Feb. 4.

A clutch three-point basket by Jordan Smith helped seal the victory. On Feb. 9, Oswego East picked up a 59-55 win over Downers Grove South. Leading scorers were Kamron Battle with 12, Zac Myers with 11 and AJ Hughes and Jordan Smith with 10.

By CURT HERON cheron@shawmedia.com Oswego East boys basketball coach Steve Szymanski felt that his squad could play with any team in both the Southwest Prairie Conference and the Class 4A Lockport Sectional field, but he didn’t have a big-time win over a top team to prove that point.

But after knocking off league-leading Minooka on Friday, you can add the Wolves to the long list of teams that could possibly make some noise in the upcoming local sectional.

Stephon Harris hit a late bucket to force overtime and then canned a three-pointer as time expired in the extra session to help the Wolves to a 54-51 upset victory over the Indians.

“Minooka’s probably a top-four seed in our sectional and they’re obviously first in our conference,” Szymanski said. “We’ve said it all year that we can beat anyone in our conference when we put everything together, and today we did.

We played great on the defensive

end and we executed offensively and that was good to see.

“I’ll be honest, I think we’re a team that no one wants to see in the playoffs since we have some weapons and guys who can do some things and we’re finally putting it together on both ends of the floor. And that’s a dangerous combination going into the playoffs.”

Harris finished with 11 points on the night, all of which came during the final 8:37 of play. Minooka (18-8, 9-2) took a 44-42 lead with nine seconds left in regulation after Jon Butler (22 points, six rebounds) hit two free throws.

But Harris (eight rebounds) made a jumper following his own miss with two seconds remaining to force overtime.

While the Indians turned the ball over three times in the extra session, the Wolves (10-13, 5-6) only connected on 1-of-6 free throw tries. After Butler hit a layup with 11 seconds left to force a 51-51 tie, Harris tossed in a trey just before the buzzer sounded for the winner.

“In the second half we kind of picked it up,” Harris said. “We

Practices this week were really good. We wanted to get focused for the number-one team in the conference. This win was very huge.”

Oswego East also got nine points from Kaelub Newman and six points from Maurice Beecham while Minooka also received 12 points and eight rebounds from Joe Butler, nine points from Nick Clemmons and six points from Larry Roberts. The Wolves made 23-of-39 attempts from the floor (59 percent) while the Indians connected on 18-of-43 shot tries (42 percent).

“I’m very happy with our team and with how well we played,” Oswego East senior Mitchell Glende said. “With Minooka being the top team in our conference, this was a huge win for us going into the playoffs. We’re playing some good ball right now. “ Oswego East has two games remaining on its schedule, hosting Plainfield South on Friday before the regular season ends Feb. 23 at Plainfield North.

“We talked about keeping the intensity up and playing all four quarters because the entire season we’ve never played all four quarters. That was our goal.”

Dwight found Keegan inside for a layup, and followed with her own basket to create a 3227 score, but Naperville North’s Laurel Pereria hit a three-pointer to kick off a big second half for the Huskies. Pereria scored 16 of her game-high 19 points after intermission and helped turn a 43-36 deficit into a 44-43 lead with 4:03 to play.

Naperville North (12-14) shot 10-for-12 at the foul line in the fourth quarter to finish off Oswego (4-26) and advance to Wednesday’s regional semifinal against No. 5 Neuqua Valley.

“We started a little bit slow tonight, but we shot 21 of 26 from the free-throw line, and that was big. That pulled us Eric Miller-emiller@shawmedia.com through,” Naperville North Oswego senior Gemma Keegan saves the ball back inbounds to Kia coach Jason Dycus said.

When it mattered most, the Oswego girls basketball team seemed to put it all together in the Class 4A Yorkville Regional opener on Monday night.

Oswego opened the postseason with a 4-25 record as the 21st seed in the Benet Sectional after struggling all year to play four quarters of basketball. The Panthers nearly claimed the upset win against No. 12 Naperville North, holding a seven-point lead over the Huskies in the fourth quarter.

But a two minute span changed the momentum of the game and allowed Naperville North to rally for a 58-49 victory over Oswego.

“We just had a stretch of about two and a half minutes, and those two and a half minutes killed us,” Oswego head coach Dave Beebe said. “We were winning most of the game, but we had a couple turnovers and missed some easy shots. We

played three and three-quarters. Unfortunately, that little stretch just really hurt us.”

Oswego senior starters Gemma Keegan and Dubuque-commit Kia Dwight capped their high school careers with standout games as Keegan scored a team-high 17 points before fouling out in the closing seconds, and Dwight knocked in 16 points including three three-pointers.

“When you have one threat it’s easy to defend, but when you have two out there it makes it hard, and they gave their whole heart and soul out there,” Beebe said. “Those two seniors did outstanding.”

Dwight knocked in a pair of three-pointers in the opening minutes to help Oswego stay on pace, trailing Naperville North 14-13 after one quarter. The Panther defense held the Huskies to just five second-quarter points, and Keegan knocked in a pair of big field goals to help Oswego build a 24-19 halftime lead.

14 GIRLS GYMNASTICS

GIRLS BASKETBALL: OSWEGO EAST 62, JOLIET WEST 40

Oswego places sixth at sectionals

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com The Oswego co-op gymnastics season came to an end by the slimmest of margins.

After a sixth-place team finish at the Hinsdale Central Sectional on Feb. 10, two gymnasts sat on the edge of an at-large bid to the state meet.

But when results of the final sectional were posted one day later, Oswego learned it fell short of any individual tickets to state.

Senior Coral Ottesen and freshman Courtney Broyles tied for eighth individually on the uneven bars with scores of 8.9. The final atlarge score to qualify in the event was 9.05 – leaving the gymnasts just over one-tenth short.

“We knew they were both strong, but both being new to the team this year, I don’t know if they knew how close that would be or what they needed to get,” coach Sarah Dugan said.

“It’s their best score on bars, and to do that at the sectional is tough. It was exciting, and I hope it was exciting for them too.”

Downers Grove South won the sectional title with a 143.875 to advance to state. Oswego finished with a score of 134.40.

Ottesen placed 10th in the all around with a 35.10 and Broyles scored a 33.775. Oswego had two individual sectional qualifiers on vault, and Ottesen scored an 8.775 while Alexia Stamas scored an 8.7. On beam, Ottesen scored an 8.4, Kaylee Gatenby received a 7.5 and Broyles scored a 7.45.

Oswego had four competitors on floor, with Ottesen scoring a 9.025 followed by Broyles (8.75), Stamas (8.5) and Gatenby (8.375).

“The girls did everything they wanted to do. No meet is perfect and we’re going to have some falls,” Dugan said.

“The night had some emotions and nerves, and the seniors leaving too. I really think every single one of them got each other through it and completely supported each other with having a good night. The whole team had fun, and when you’re having fun, doing well comes naturally.

They put a good point to the end of the season.”

Oswego East’s Sydney Schultz and Joliet West’s Raven Reed go after a loose ball during the first half a semifinal game of the Class 4A Minooka Regional on Tuesday.

Wolves shake off rusty start Rally from 7-point deficit to win regional opener

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com The Oswego East girls basketball team simply had a bad case of the Mondays.

The Wolves stepped onto the court for the first time in seven days after a three-day weekend with no school in observance of Presidents Day, facing No. 18-seed Joliet West in Tuesday’s Class 4A Minooka Regional semifinal game. Oswego East trailed for two and a half quarters, but rallied from as much as a seven-point deficit to win 62-40.

“We struggled. We were tired at practice and haven’t played in a week,” Oswego East junior Sydney Schultz said. “It felt like a Monday.”

Oswego East, the No. 2 seed in the Benet Sectional, advances to Thursday’s regional championship game against Minooka, winner of Tuesday’s

second semifinal game. The Wolves will be playing for the first girls’ basketball regional title in school history.

Oswego East (25-2) went 14-0 in Southwest Prairie Conference play, but facing a team for a third time this season can create new challenges.

“It’ll be a lot tougher the coach does a good job preparing their players and the nice thing is everyone knows what to expect,” Oswego East coach Abe Carretto said. “It’s a matter of what you’re going to do on the defensive end. ... We’ve talked about taking it one game at a time and we’ve been doing that all year. We need to make sure we’re focusing on the next team and they didn’t look ahead.”

On Tuesday, Joliet West (11-18) jumped out to a 5-0 lead to set the tone in the first half of play. Kierra Tyler (11 points) knocked in five of the Tigers’ final seven points of the quarter to maintain a 14-13 edge. Oswego East was limited to five points in the second quarter as Joliet West entered halftime with a 22-19 lead after a three-pointer

by Sarah Gersch (10 points).

“We packed it in and made them shoot from the outside,” Joliet West coach John Placher said. “For a team that’s 24-2, a team like Oswego East is not going to go away. I knew that,

and they made a run. The full-court pressure – just that little pressure got us out of our game in the fourth quarter.”

Joliet West took its largest lead of the night, 33-26, after a free throw with 4:12 to play in the third quarter, but Oswego East got a defensive spark from guards Maya Dennis, Alexis Davis and Milan Smith to shift the momentum.

Schultz (17 points) assisted a Ty Battle basket before scoring six of the next eight points as the Wolves took control. Battle scored 10 of her gamehigh 19 points in the third quarter, and Schultz blocked a Joliet West shot and dished the ball to Smith, who converted in the paint for a 40-35 lead entering the fourth quarter.

“We ramped up that intensity. ...

We did a good job packing it in and started to get those looks from our defense and started to get more steals, second-chance points and Syd (Schultz) was running the floor and finding those people,” Carretto said. “We’ve got to get it inside and we need the posts to do some work. It was just a matter of moving the ball around more.”

Oswego East was dominant in the fourth quarter, scoring 22 points while holding the Tigers to just five for the 22-point win.

BOYS BASKETBALL: OSWEGO 56, ROMEOVILLE 52

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com

Oswego’s Malique Ross is fouled on his way to the basket by Romeoville’s Kahlil Blakney in the fourth quarter Saturday in Oswego.

Cappelletti had a putback just before the buzzer for a 32-29 score at intermission.

“Romeoville makes you play fast,” Borrowman said. “I thought we rushed our shots a little too much. We were getting everything we wanted offensively, but we weren’t knocking down our shots and we weren’t playing very well defensively, and it was a tightly called game. The flow was taken away right away and we didn’t adjust well.”

Romeoville went on a 6-0 run in the third quarter to tie the game at 36, but the Oswego defense held the Spartans scoreless in the final 4:10 as the Panthers pulled ahead 44-36 in the early minutes of the fourth period.

“The end of the third and beginning of the fourth we got a little undisciplined,” Romeoville head coach Marc Howard said. “Guys are trying to make

A young and energetic Romeoville squad pushed Oswego to its limits on Saturday night, but in the end the Panthers’ big senior could not be contained.

Oswego’s 6-foot-7 center Brice Robinson scored eight fourth-quarter points in the paint to help clinch a 56-52 win over the visiting Spartans in Southwest Prairie Conference action.

“Usually the second half we go away from the big man inside and this second half we just stayed in that and kept feeding the ball, and eight I posted up or kicked it out, and good things happened,” Robinson said.

Robinson (20 points) scored his final basket of the game to extend Oswego’s lead 52-45 with 2:00 to play, but Romeoville’s DeAndre Heckard knocked down a three-pointer to keep things interesting. After a basket from Oswego’s Malique Ross, Romeoville scored four straight including another bucket from Heckard to create a 54-52 score with 39 seconds remaining.

Romeoville (8-14) was forced to foul down the stretch, and Ross (22 points) knocked in two at the free-throw line to help clinch the four-point win.

“I thought the second half we gave up 23 points and that’s about where we need to be,” Oswego head coach Matt Borrowman said. “We made free throws down the stretch and we got Brice the ball late, and that’s something we’ve gotten away from lately. He’s a load inside.”

Oswego (16-6) opened the game with an 8-0 lead before Romeoville’s Matt Cappelletti (13 points) scored eight in the second quarter to help the Spartans take a 22-21 lead with 4:01 left in the half.

Oswego improves to 16-6 on the season and is keeping pace with league-leader Minooka (18-8, 9-2) with an 8-3 record in SPC play.

“It’s nice to know at this point we

still have a chance at a conference championship,” Borrowman said. “We control our own destiny, but we have a tough road at Plainfield East, one at home against Plainfield North and Minooka. We’re going to have to earn a conference championship.”

GIRLS BOWLING

Oswego, Oswego East now seek top-10 state finishes

By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com For the first time in District 308 history, the Oswego East and Oswego girls bowling teams are both heading to the state tournament.

The Wolves and Panthers secured top-four finishes at the Reavis Sectional on Saturday and will advance to the state series on Friday at The Cherry Bowl in Rockford.

Waubonsie Valley won the sectional title with 6,248 pins, West Aurora was second at 6,180, Oswego East was third (5,944) and Oswego was fourth (5,916).

“It’s definitely a great thing having us both go. We’ve been waiting for this,” Oswego East head coach Jeremy Hillman said. “It’s good to see them finish the way they did. We both have a great chance to finish in the top 10.”

“It seems like every year we talk with coach Hillman about our goal of sending both D308 teams to state, and it feels good to finally have accomplished that goal,” Oswego head coach Dan Okoren added. “We believe that both teams have the potential to put up big numbers, and we’re happy to share this experience with a great group of coaches and athletes in our cross-town

rivals.”

Oswego East was led by senior Abby Ragsdale (1,394), junior Sam Perez (1,231), senior Mallory Weisbrodt (1,171), sophomore Kiana Krahulik (1,102) and juniors Sam Mattern (874) and Ashley Smith (172) combined for the final score.

Oswego was led by junior Taylor Kies (1,266), senior Brittany Breedlove (1,179), junior Haley Staniszewski (1,026), senior Haley Douglas (1,230) and sophomore Rachel Clifton (1,215).

“We are very excited and proud of the girls on making it to state,” Okoren said. “The sectional had a much differ-

ent feel this year. Outside of the other three qualifying teams at the sectional, we do not see the other teams throughout the regular season. This added to the excitement, as we didn’t know exactly what to expect from these teams.”

The last time Oswego was at state was in 2014, when it placed 12th. Oswego East was there last year and went fifth overall.

“It’s going to be a great tournament,” Hillman said. “All these (state-qualifying) teams are very good, but we can’t worry about chasing them. We want top three - and we want to leave with a trophy.”

SPORTS WRESTLING

UNCHARTED TERRITORY Three Oswego wrestlers to debut at state meet

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com Three Oswego wrestlers will enter uncharted territory this weekend at the State Farm Center in Champaign.

Senior Josh Torres, junior Luke Pradel and sophomore Gannon Hughes all advanced out of the Class 3A Bolingbrook Sectional last weekend to make their debuts in the state tournament, which begins Thursday at 5 p.m. with the preliminary round and continues through Saturday.

Pradel (33-12) punched his ticket to state with a semifinal win in the 113-pound weight class, defeating Plainfield East’s Anthony Zamora by an 8-6 decision to solidify his “I’ve been working place in the for this day since championship round. the day that I In the finals, Pradel lost a started to wrestle.”

3-1 decision Josh Torres to Moline’s Oswego senior Isaac Martinez to take second.

He now follows in his brother’s footsteps after Jack Pradel became a 2015 state qualifier.

“I wanted to be where he (Jack) was and I was determined to beat him by doing it while I was a junior and then hopefully do it again when I’m a senior,” Luke Pradel said. “Going to state makes me feel great all-around just because I know that all of the hard work and dedication that I’ve put in through the year has finally paid off. I knew that it was going to be tough to qualify and that I’d have to wrestle my butt off in every single match.”

At 170, Torres (40-6) also secured his place downstate in the semifinals with a notable 5-3 overtime win over two-time state placewinner Carson Oughton of Minooka. Torres finished second with a 7-4 loss to Edwardsville’s Chris Prosser.

“This feels so great. I’m very emotional and so happy because I’ve been working for this day since the day that

Oswego’s Luke Pradel has control of Moline’s Issac Martinez in the 113-pound finals. Pradel lost a 3-1 decision to take second in last Saturday’s Class 3A Bolingbrook Sectional.

I started to wrestle,” Torres said. “I was feeling good and knew that I was in better shape than him and I was in good position the whole match and it just finally came through. This is like when you’re a kid and you get that present on Christmas.”

Hughes (40-8) was forced to battle his way through the 120-pound consolation bracket after dropping his quarterfinal match to Providence Catholic’s Josh Ramos by a 4-3 decision. Hughes won a 13-11 shootout over Minooka and an

8-0 major decision over Moline to reach the consolation semifinals. He secured a 10-2 major decision win over Collinsville to guarantee his spot in the state bracket.

Hughes faced Ramos again in the third-place bout and won a 10-2 major decision.

“I’ve worked for this all year and it’s just nice to finally get the job done,” Hughes said. “I want to thank my partner, Blake Huffmon. He didn’t qualify, but he’s the reason that I’m here because

we went hard every day at practice.”

Oswego had five other sectional qualifiers. Huffmon (32-14) finished 2-2 at 126, Allen Swanson (33-16) went 1-2 at 132 and Dan Risley (33-15) dropped both sectional matches. Victor Aguirre (2520) finished 2-2 at 182 and Josh Alatorre (15-21) lost both of his bouts.

Oswego East was represented by three sectional qualifiers. Andrew Okayama (27-5) went 102 at 152, Jackson O’Reilly (24-11) went 0-2 at 160 and BJ Hill (24-7) finished 1-2 at 170.

A trip of a lifetime to aid others

I

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com

n April 2015 a massive earthquake, the worst in decades, struck Nepal’s Kathmandu region. John Palatine of Oswego was watching the news the night it happened and was struck that a part of the world that had fascinated him his whole life could be so devastated.

“I have always been intrigued by that part of the world—Nepal and their culture,” he said. “My initial thought was wishing I could go there and help those poor people. They have so little – and for that to happen is terrible.”

Almost a year later Palatine is headed to the Gorhka District in Nepal to help the people of the small Aprik village rebuild the only school for miles that was destroyed in the aftermath of the earthquake.

“I’m doing this to bring attention to the needs of this remote part of our world,” he said. “Even though the earthquake took place nearly a year ago there is so much to be done there because the homes and the schools were poorly built and they just crumbled.”

He is seeking donations before he leaves in mid-April, which will be given to a Nepal recognized not-for-profit organization named “Sambhav Nepal”. Information about this organization can be found at www.sambhavnepal.org. Palatine says he will deliver donations to village officials to help rebuild the Devi Jal Kumari school.

While in Nepal Palatine will also spend some time partially accomplishing a personal dream of his by participating in a hike through the Himalayas on the one year anniversary of the earthquake.

“I’ve always dreamt of climbing Mount Everest but going to the base camp of Mount Everest on a two week trek is going to bring attention to this cause,” he said. “I really wish I was the guy climbing Mount Everest because that would really make a story.”

For those who donate, Palatine says he will present a plaque with their name on it at the school once reconstruction is completed. He will also hang a personalized prayer flag at the base camp of Mount Everest.

“It’s difficult, I know, we have enough problems in our country and locally, and it’s kind of hard to think about people in the middle of nowhere on the other side of the world,” he said, adding, “The money

Palatine, 50, grew up in Arlington Heights. He graduated from Illinois State University and worked in the insurance industry. He moved to Oswego from Oregon, Ill. About 14 years ago but lost his job in 2008 following the recession. Now he is semi-retired and runs a real estate business out of his home.

Just getting to Nepal is quite a trip. The father of two says his teenage children and wife are excited for his adventure, but won’t be coming along.

But Palatine won’t be alone. He will be meeting a group of other westerners in Nepal through an outfitter trekking company called Ace the Himalaya.

Palatine, who considers himself an outdoorsman, says he will spend his time while hiking through Nepal living in Tea Houses run by sherpas and sleeping on a cot where electricity and hot water are luxuries.

• NEPAL “They use dried yak dung to start their fires because you are above the tree line so wood is very scarce, Palatine says. “To even get a warm shower you have to pay them three or four dollars to heat a bucket of water for you.”

Packing for a trip to Nepal means being prepared for whatever Mother Nature throws at you but Palatine adds that going in April is actually a good time. Climbers tend to challenge Mount Everest in late April or early May because that is the best time to climb—it is not too cold or warm which generates avalanches.

“A lot of times when it is sunny out and you’re at high altitudes, you’ll see people at base camp that have on just a t-shirt and jeans,” Palatine says he will leave from O’Hare Airport in Chicago and fly to Dubai first and spend a night in that city before flying into Kathmandu.

From there he will take a small plane to an airport in Gorhka District located in the middle of the Himalayan Mountain range.

“It’s supposed to be the world’s most dangerous airport,” he said, adding that it has a short, poorly built runway located between mountains that makes landing difficult for pilots.

Palatine says he will then journey by foot to the tiny isolated village of Aprik.

There is a small dirty path to the town and everything that enters it has to be carried by yak.

“The closest real road, I understand, is a six to seven hour hike,” he said.

“You have to carry everything with you.

Because of the remoteness of Aprik it is actually more expensive to rebuild the school, Palatine says. A typical school that is closer to amenities costs about $30,000 to build, he says, while it will cost three times that to rebuild the school in the village he is visiting.

“Getting help out there has been very difficult and costly,” he said. “As you can imagine it is a lot harder to get people and materials to a very remote part of that country.”

Palatine says he’s a bit nervous about traveling but is determined to make the most of the trip.

He wants to connect with the people he is helping and will leave the people of Aprik village with some hope from a source that knows the devastation of annual futility all to well.

“They really enjoy American things and I’m a big (Chicago) Cubs fan so I’ll be bringing them baseball caps and Cubs stuff,” he said. “They are a very proud and happy people but they have so little and just to be around them will be so memorable and have such an impression and impact on me.”

Trinity Church began Lent with Oswego’s Good Shepherd Church by burning palms from last year. A meatless dinner was served followed by the Ash Wednesday Service with Trinity’s pastor and Good Shepherd’s pastor. Trinity Church United Methodist is at the intersection of Route 47 and Cannonball Trail in Yorkville.

Cross Lutheran Church in Yorkville will host a grief support seminar beginning March 3.

This is a positive, uplifting, caring group in which you can learn how to deal with the emotions and challenges that come when a loved one dies.

The journey of grief is a painful process, and you do not need to walk it alone.

It is often a hard and lonely path, especially after things begin to settle down and are “supposed” to get “back to normal.”

However, when one loses a loved one, nothing seems to be normal, and indeed, it will never be the same again.

GriefShare meets weekly and the content is Christ-centered and bibli-

cal. Participants will find this to be a place where they can be around people who understand the pain of their loss.

You will be prayed for and learn valuable information that will help you through this difficult season of your life.

Sessions are from 7 to 8:30 p.m. beginning Thursday, March 3, in the school library.

It is not necessary to attend each session in order to benefit from the group.

The adult registration fee of $15 includes a workbook; scholarships are available.

For information or to preregister, call Bonnie Krantz, support group coordinator, at 630-844-8745.

There is a very interesting psychology experiment where you trick people into either smiling or “As obedient children, do not frowning without their knowing it (by telling them to conform to the evil desires you had hold aBut pencil either in their teeth, to make them when you lived in ignorance. smile, just as he who called you is holy,orsowith their pursed lips, to make them be holy in all you do.” frown), and while they hold that facial position you —1 Peter 1:14-15 NIV 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.

We have some of the best hospitals and doctors in the world, yet our kids have never been sicker, the environment has never been more challenging and there have never been more options and opportunities for parents like you. Therefore, my goal is to challenge your thinking and create a pivot point to improve the path of your child’s health.

Neurodevelopmental disorders are the result of abnormal growth and development of the brain or central nervous system. And according to Dr. James Chestnut, 65% of a child’s nervous system develops within their first year of life, with 90% development by the age of two (as cited by Barnham-Floreani, 2009).

Therefore, the problem that needs to be addressed is waiting. There is no time to wait. Too often we hear ‘It’s no big deal’ and ‘It’s only…’ or ‘Some kids take longer than others.’

I primarily take care of kids, with a focus on Structural Correction. And I correct Structural Shifts, or shifts in the spine that irritate the spinal cord or spinal nerves.

This irritation alters the messages being received by the brain and therefore, alters the messages being sent by the brain. Causing dysfunction of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) which may prevent appropriate neurological development and lead to a variety of secondary conditions including, but not limited to: Autism, ADHD, asthma and allergies as well as abnormal latch (nursing) and acute otitis media (ear infection).

We also perform a primitive reflex examination to monitor brain development.

Many primitive reflexes appear at birth to stimulate neurological learning and development but then disappear once normal development has occurred. However, because of a lack of development in neurodevelopmentally challenged children, these reflexes have often failed to disappear and therefore need to be addressed.

This comprehensive examination allows us to make a reasonable determination in how long it is going to take to improve or correct any Structural Shifts and the function of the nervous system as well as any secondary conditions that may be present. We then create a plan that is customized to each child’s needs.

So rather than waiting or using a medication for your child’s condition, at Foundation Chiropractic we look to remove the Structural Shift, or the cause of the condition.

By locating and specifically adjusting the areas of a Structural Shift we are able to re-establish the communication between the brain and the body, restoring appropriate neurological function and eventually improving or completely resolving the secondary condition naturally.

Correct STRUCTURE = Correct FUNCTION = Correct DEVELOPMENT As a “thank you” for taking the time to read this article I would like to offer you a gift certificate for savings off of our Structural Correction chiropractic examination.

Similar to a blown fuse, does it make sense that a Structural Shift in the upper neck may alter the function of the ear canal, prevent appropriate drainage and ultimately cause an ear infection? Or a Structural Shift may alter behavior and attention?

We are able to determine the presence of a Structural Shift by means of our complete chiropractic examination. It includes objective indicators specific to

Appropriate neurological development is a journey, not a destination and pediatric milestones are the landmarks confirming the child is on the correct path. The milestones must occur at the right time. We cannot say ‘They will grow out of it’ or ‘It will happen sometime.’ The idea is not to get there eventually.

So I often have folks ask us how pediatric health and development relates to our style of chiropractic and what we do in the office, so I’d like to take a minute to address that question. First you must understand there is a large assortment of techniques utilized by chiropractors. Most of them focus solely on temporarily reducing pain, increasing range of motion and decreasing muscular tension and spasm, and many of my colleagues are great with these conditions.

pediatric Structural Shifts and technology certified by the Space Foundation that is very clear on the degree of any Structural Shifts that we may discover.

Gardeners growing their own vegetable transplants always begin their gardening season much earlier than the rest of us, especially if they are putting in that early spring garden.

The decision of when to start those seedlings to be turned into vegetable transplants has everything to do with our traditional interpretation of “the average frost-free date.”

The average frost-free date for our area can be as early as May 5 but could be as late as May 20. Move north from here and it is going to later, head south and it will be sooner. Depending on the micro-climate in your own yard, the date can move as well. The average frost-free date is the date where there is actually a 50 percent chance that we could still get a frost or light freeze. Gardeners can do their best planning and still end up with a bit of a gamble.

There are vegetables from seed or

DOWN THE GARDEN PATH Richard Hentschel transplant that welcome cold weather and frosty conditions. Others prefer or even need warm air and soil temperatures.

This range of growing conditions starts 4 to 6 weeks before the average frost-free date and goes beyond that date by 2 to 3 weeks, so you can see lots of planning is in order to make those planting dates.

Typically gardeners rank or talk about these different seeds and transplants in terms of their ability to grow from seed or survive and thrive as a transplant over this wide air and soil temperature range. “Very hardy” vegetables start the list and can be sown or transplanted 4 to 6 weeks ahead of

vegetables. To get a full season of gardening in, it takes a lot of scheduling, time and dedication to growing your own wholesome vegetables.

To sum this column up, if transplants are going in as early as mid- to late April and the seeds take 4 to 8 weeks to get to transplant size and quality, then you only have about a month to get ready before it is time to sow!

University of Illinois Extension’s Four Seasons Gardening Program will offer a free winter webinar series for gardening enthusiasts, starting with “How to Kill Your Tree: A Guide of What NOT to Do” later this month.

During this webinar, Extension horticulture educator Chris Enroth will discuss common mistakes homeowners make when planting and maintaining their most

valuable landscape investment, their trees. This first winter webinar session will be offered twice – at 1:30 p.m. Feb. 23 and at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 25. All sessions are free and available to the public, and participants must register in advance at go.illinois.edu/4seasons_webinars.

that average frost-free date. The next groups down the list are those considered “frost tolerant,” being sown or planted about 2 to 3 weeks ahead of the average frost-free date. You still have to go out and cover them if a light freeze is expected, but they do not mind a little frost. Those “tender vegetables” get to be sown or set out on the magic date and absolutely will need to be protected from even a light frost.

The last group really needs warm air and soil temperatures to get off to a good start and we call them “warm loving.” These can be sown or set out 2 to 3 weeks after that average frost-free date.

After the spring plantings are all in, the next plantings will the successive plantings that carry into the summer. My midsummer gardeners thinking about the fall garden are already planting transplants and seeds again of those cold weather tolerant

FOOD

Better-for-you breakfast ideas MORE CONTENT NOW Breakfast might be the most important meal of the day, but it can often be the one that’s hardest to fit into busy schedules. Even if you have time for breakfast, you might find yourself trading wholesomeness and quality for speed and convenience.

However, having better-for-you breakfasts need not require a lot of time or effort. It can be as simple as making better and smarter choices.

“One of my favorite breakfasts is a bagel with cream cheese, but when I was looking to make healthier choices, I thought this was too indulgent,” New York Times best-selling author and food blogger Andie Mitchell said. “In reality, it’s about moderation, and eating a whole wheat bagel with a natural cream cheese is a guilt-free breakfast option I love.”

Here are five wholesome-yet-easy breakfast options that can start your day off on the right nutritional foot:

1. Better-for-you bagel and cream cheese

Who doesn’t love a good bagel?

They’re quick, convenient and delicious. They even have their own celebratory day – Feb. 9 was National Bagel Day. If you’ve been shying away from this traditional favorite thinking you don’t need all the carbs of bagels and the additives in most cream cheeses, it’s time to rethink your view. A whole grain bagel topped with a better-foryou spread, like Arla cream cheese, is a satisfying and delicious start to the day. Arla’s cream cheeses (Original, Light, Herbs & Spices, Peppercorn and Blueberry) are free of artificial flavors, preservatives, thickeners and stabilizers.

2. A better breakfast burrito

Classic breakfast burritos are filling, satisfying and nourishing, but unless you go the frozen route, you may not have the time to whip up a morning burrito. A faster, wholesome option awaits – simply top a wholegrain tortilla with your favorite Arla cream cheese, add fresh-sliced fruit such as kiwi, apple or banana, fold in half and enjoy!

3. Outstanding oatmeal

As breakfast cereals go, oatmeal is a nutritional champ. A 1-cup serving of plain oatmeal has about 150 calories, and it’s loaded with nourishing fiber, protein and vitamin A. Add flavor with wholesome toppings like fresh berries, chopped apples, raisins or nuts. Here’s even better news – plain instant oatmeal has the same basic nutritional value as the kind you slow-cook yourself, according to the USDA’s Nutrient Database. However, be wary of flavored versions that may have a lot of added sugar.

4. Terrific toasts

Photo provided

A better-for-you breakfast – such as a whole grain bagel with cream cheese that is free of artificial flavors and preservatives – need not sacrifice convenience or taste.

A slice of toasted white bread slathered in butter isn’t sufficient for a good breakfast, but you can take toast to the next level and create a morning meal that’s tasty, wholesome and toasted. Start by toasting a slice of whole grain bread. Next spread on some protein – this could be a sugar-free peanut butter, almond butter or better-for-you cream cheese. Top with your favorite fruit or veggies.

5. Easier eggs

Everyone knows eggs are a breakfast staple, but who has the time to prepare them in the morning when you’re trying to get everyone out the door? You do! The microwave

is your morning best friend, from reheating your coffee to whipping up delectable, easy and wholesome egg breakfasts.

You can make scrambled eggs in minutes.

Just crack an egg into a microwave-safe cup, add a tablespoon of water or milk, a dash of cayenne pepper and some salt, and a teaspoon or two of your favorite veggie finely diced, such as scallions, tomatoes or mushrooms. Top with a generous spoonful of shredded Havarti or Gouda cheese and microwave everything for 45 seconds. Stir and microwave for another 45 seconds until the eggs are set.

Breakfast doesn’t have to be time-consuming or a disappointing compromise. A few betterfor-you breakfast options can set a healthful, happy tone for the rest of your day.

Guard heart during February heart month SHAW MEDIA Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a cluster of disorders of the heart and blood vessels, and the number one killer globally, including the United States, said a University of Illinois Extension nutrition and wellness educator.

Laura Barr explained that heart attacks are usually caused by the narrowing of arteries, causing less blood flow to the heart.

Most commonly, the narrowing is produced by plaque or fatty deposits on the inner walls of the arteries. Sometimes, blood clots can result from inflammation and block blood flow to the heart resulting in impairment and possible death.

“Prevention is always better than treatment,” Barr said. “It is recommended that you get your annual exams, including well-visits, address your stress, and work with your health care team to be the healthiest you.”

Barr said most CVDs can be prevented by adopting healthy lifestyles, such as: • Exercising regularly (at least 150 minutes each week for adults and 60 minutes per day for children) • Maintaining a healthy weight • Eating more fruits and vegetables and consuming healthy fats (such as oils and nuts) and reducing salt • Avoiding both smoking and alcohol abuse.

“These habits are difficult to break, and most people need support to do it,” Barr said.

It is also important to know the signs of a heart

attack. The American Heart Association (AHA) advises to get medical treatment immediately for: • Pain and/or pressure in the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back • Pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach • Shortness of breath, with or without chest discomfort • Other signs such as breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea, or lightheadedness AHA warns that if you experience any of these signs or symptoms: • Do not wait to call for help. Dial 9-1-1, make sure to follow the operator’s instructions and get to a hospital right away.

• Do not drive yourself, have someone drive you to the hospital, unless you have no other choice.

• Try to stay as calm as possible and take deep, slow breaths while you wait for the emergency responders.

“Take steps this year to guard your heart during National Heart Month,” Barr said.

University of Illinois Extension provides educational programs and research-based information to help Illinois residents improve their quality of life, develop skills and solve problems.

The Crisis Line of the Fox Valley is seeking empathetic individuals with good communication skills to participate in a 10-week Crisis Line training program.

Classes start on Thursday, March 10 at the Association for Individual Development’s Behavioral Health site located at 1230 N. Highland Ave., Aurora.

This free training focuses on mental illness, crisis intervention, suicide, addictions, abuse, and community resources. The Crisis Line of the Fox Valley offers free, supportive counseling and referrals to community resources. The budget crisis in the State of Illinois has had a negative effect on our most vulnerable populations. This has led to feelings of frustration, anxiety, depression and an increased demand for Crisis Line support services.

For questions, or to register for the Crisis Line training program, call Cheryl at 630-966-4304.
