mschury@kendallcountynow.com Oswego Township Highway Supervisor Gary Grosskopf made no public comments Tuesday evening concerning accusations he oversaw his office this past winter from a home he keeps in Florida with his wife.

Grosskopf was in attendance for the monthly township board meeting held in the township government office in Oswego. About 20 people, including several media representatives, attended the meeting.

Shortly before the public comment portion of the meeting, the board passed a motion limiting comments to one minute for each speaker. Those who spoke were split, with some supporting Grosskopf while others took him to task for the accusations.

Kendall County Sheriff’s Detective Sgt. Joe Jaznosz said this week that detectives are still investigating. Grosskopf has not been charged with a crime.

The sheriff’s office received a complaint from a citizen regarding Grosskopf, Jaznosz reported. The complaint alleged that Grosskopf had not been residing within Oswego Township prior to the last consolidated election in the spring.

Grosskopf has been township highway supervisor for 26 years and his current term will end in 2017. The Township Road District is responsible for snowplowing and maintaining roads in the unincorporated areas of Oswego Township, including the Boulder Hill subdivision.

Ed Reuland of Boulder Hill was the first resident to speak at the meeting and said he supported Grosskopf.

Continued from page 2 plowing and everything,” Reuland said. “My neighborhood has come up pretty good this year and I don’t want to see anything happen to Mr. Grosskopf. I’m for him 100 percent.”

Diane Selmer, an Oswego resident, said she had concerns with the way Grosskopf is conducting his office.

“What is quite disturbing to me is what I’m seeing going on as far as Mr. Grosskopf living in Florida,” she said. “I know that it is an elected position and I understand that but you as trustees have the power of the purse. Is anyone really paying attention to this because something is really seriously wrong here.”

Leah Philpot of Oswego also criticized Grosskopf.

“I am furious that Mr. Grosskopf has lived in Florida,” she said.

Another Oswego resident, Jan Alexander, said she wondered what Grosskopf would do if there was a natural disaster or a communications blackout and he could not get back to the township from Florida.

“I think you better make a decision, either come back to Illinois or stay in Florida,” Alexander told Grosskopf. “It’s almost like taxa-

tion without representation because you are not here on a daily basis representing the citizens of Oswego.”

Grosskopf has not spoken about the allegations publicly but apologized earlier this month in a written statement.

“I understand the negative perception and I apologize to the people of Oswego Township for my actions,” he said in the statement.

Also during the meeting, township trustees and officials sat around a small table and conducted business.

Grosskopf gave a report on his department but neither he nor the other officials addressed the accusations during the meeting.

Jim Detzler, Oswego Township supervisor, said that all of the supervisors are elected officials and answer to the voters of the township. He added that he and the trustees would take the residents’ comments “under consideration.”

Detzler said after the meeting when questioned by reporters that Grosskopf was able to supervise his crew and the highway department from Florida.

“He has a very good crew and he can do that over the Internet and over the telephone,” Detzler said. “I’m not saying what he did was OK but there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Oswego seeking demolition bids for old village hall

By NATALIE STEVENS

“I’d hate to go through another winter with that liability hanging out there.

All we need is a heavy snow and/or wind and we could have some other problems.”

news@kendallcountynow.com The old Oswego Village Hall will soon be coming down.

Village trustees gave their approval this past week for Building and Zoning Manager Jay Hoover to seek demolition bids for the single-story building with the red brick facade at 113 Main Street.

Trustees also set a goal of having the building demolished prior to the village’s annual downtown Christmas Walk in early December The village moved its offices to its current location at 100 Parkers Mill in 2008.

Since that time, the condition of the old village hall has deteriorated rapidly. Interim Village Administrator Carrie Hansen told trustees that anyone who now wishes to go into the building must sign a liability waiver.

Hoover said the building also has asbestos, which he estimated would add about an extra week to the demolition timeframe.

If the village wanted the building demolished before the Christmas Walk, Hoover said they would need to begin in mid-October. He estimated the entire process of demolition, asbestos removal, the disconnecting of utili-

Constructed in 1921, the building has been vacant since work was completed on the new village hall at 100 Parkers MIll in 2008. ties and then backfilling and stabilizing the soil would take about three weeks to one month.

Village President Gail Johnson asked what the rationale was of trying to tear down the building before the Christmas Walk. Hoover said they did not want to actively be taking it down during the walk.

“We could start [after the Christmas Walk], which would have its own issues,”

Hoover said. “It’s just one of those markers in time.”

Trustee Pam Parr said her feeling was to “get it down as soon as we can.”

“I’d hate to go through another winter with that liability hanging out there,” Parr said. “All we need is a heavy snow and/or wind and we could have some other problems.”

Hansen said there have been several prospective purchasers for the proper-

ty who thought they would find something salvageable.

“Without fail, once they have been in and out of it [they have walked away].

It [the lot] has more value to us without the building there than with the building,” Hansen said.

A 2009 village study noted the building’s historical value to the downtown area.

In 2013 trustees declined a request from the village’s Historic Preservation Com-

mission for authorization to file for a grant to pay for a study to determine if the old village hall is structurally sound.

Karen Knight, an HPC member, had earlier told board members the village could apply for the grant from Landmarks Illinois, a nonprofit organization that works to preserve historic buildings.

Knight said the HPC would use the grant funds to hire an architect to complete the study of the building at 113 Main Street.

Board members, however, noted the old village hall is in a seriously deteriorated condition and in violation of the village’s own building codes.

They agreed that even if the study determined the

building remains structurally sound, they are not willing to spend village funds to repair and then maintain it until it can be sold.

According to village documents, the HPC now hopes to work with the village to incorporate and preserve historic elements of the building into future redevelopment.

Johnson said village staff would be taking photos of the building so that when something is built on site they will “preserve the architectural value in that new building somehow.”

In 2010 the village considered the demolition of the old Village Hall along with several other properties.

Hoover estimated the cost for the Village Hall portion was between $30,000 and $50,000.

He said now it was reasonable to expect about an 18 percent increase and said it would likely be about $40,000 for just the demolition portion of the project.

Hoover will report back to the board at their Sept.

4 meeting with an update, and will open up bids with the hope to begin work in mid-October.

The old Village Hall was built in 1921 and originally housed the Oswego Fire Protection District.

Mill Street bridge to close Ex-Blackhawk to address for repairs beginning Aug. 20 School District 308 staff LEDGER-SENTINEL The Mill Street bridge spanning the Fox River in downtown Montgomery will be closed to all traffic from Aug. 20 to Oct. 16 to allow contractors for the village to complete maintenance work on the structure.

During the construction period, Mill Street will be closed from River Street to Ill. Route 25 and all traffic will be required to follow

the posted detour route.

Traffic will be detoured via the Ashland Avenue bridge to the north.

According to a statement issued by the village, the work on the Mill Street bridge will consist of deck repairs and painting.

The project will include installation of a bridge deck latex concrete overlay, structural repair of concrete and application of a concrete coating.

The statement adds, “Your cooperation and patience are greatly appreciated and please remember to exercise additional caution when in the vicinity of the construction area.”

The Mill Street bridge was constructed by contractors for the Illinois Department of Transportation in 1984 and then deeded to the village. As a result, the village is responsible for maintaining the bridge.

Old TVs not accepted at recycling events LEDGER-SENTINEL The village of Oswego’s Electronics Recycling vendor, New Life Electronics Recycling LLC, is not currently accepting CRT (tube-style) televisions during the village’s regular electronics recycling events. Residents needing to recycle these types of televisions may contact New Life Recycling for a home pickup for a fee of $35. The village will notify residents when these types of televisions are again accepted.

As a reminder, electronics may not be put out with refuse and must be recycled in accor-

dance with state law.

For a complete list of items that must be recycled, visit the Illinois EPA’s electronics recycling webpage at www.epa.illinois.gov/ topics/waste-management/electronics-recycling/index. Residents may have options to recycle through the manufacturer voluntary take-back program. More information about this program is available on the IEPA’s website.

The village’s electronics recycling takes place from 8 to 11 a.m. on the second Saturday each month at the Public Works facility at 100 Theodore Drive.

Eddie Olczyk, hockey hall of famer, Olympian and voice of the Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks, will take School District 308 “coast to coast” as this year’s convocation speaker.

The former Blackhawk will address the district administrators, staff and teachers on Friday, Aug. 14, as part of the annual districtwide event to launch the 2015-16 school year. The event is attended by over 2,200 teachers and staff members.

“We are excited to have such a wonderful talent to energize the School District 308 team for the upcoming school year.

Throughout his career, Mr. Olczyk has worked hard and it has resulted in his many achievements,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Matthew Wendt. “We look forward to Mr. Olczyk as the special guest speaker at our annual convocation for all employees.”

Olczyk is currently the television color commentator to provide background and details for the National Hockey League on NBC and for Chicago Blackhawks games.

He was inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in February 2013.

Olczyk grew up in Palos Heights, Ill., and began his career playing high school hockey as a freshman at Brother Rice in 1980. His NHL playing career spanned 16 seasons (1984-2000) with the Blackhawks, Toronto Maple Leafs, Winnipeg Jets, New York Rangers, Los Angeles Kings and

OUR VIEW

A big step to upgrade Boulder Hill water service By the end of this year, contractors for the village of Montgomery will have completed the third and final phase of a program to improve the water system in the unincorporated Boulder Hill subdivision.

The village has provided water service to Boulder Hill since 1958, when the board approved an agreement with the subdivision’s developer, Don L. Dise.

Today, 2,830 Boulder Hill households receive water from the village.

Until the village board authorized the current repair program nearly three years ago, water system repairs and replacements in Boulder Hill were done mostly on an as-needed basis. Unfortunately, water mains in the subdivision have proven especially break-prone as they have aged. Over the past three decades, the rate of water main breaks in the subdivision have far surpassed the number of breaks within municipal limits.

The water system improvement program the village launched in 2013 has included the replacement of roughly 15 to 20 percent of the subdivision’s water mains, the looping of mains that serve numerous homes near the Oswegoland Civic Center, installation of new service connections to many homes and the replacement of aging valves and fire hydrants.

To be sure, the repairs have not come cheaply for the village’s water customers. To pay off an $8.5 million bond sale to pay for the new Boulder Hill mains and other improvements, the board voted to impose a $15 monthly fee on the water bills of its Boulder Hill customers. The village will collect the fee for a period of up to 25 years as it repays the bonds and associated interest.

The $15 monthly fee is in addition to the higher water rates the village has always charged subdivision residents dating back to that 1958 agreement with Dise. That agreement set Boulder Hill water at one and one-half times the rates village residents paid. Then, in 1974, the village began charging Boulder Hill residents double the rates they charge to village residents to finance the construction of a water tower and well on the village’s east side to serve the subdivision, according to a 1982 study prepared by then-village engineer Paul Schuch.

On the plus side, by all accounts, the recent looping of mains and installation of the new sections of main have worked to solve the rusty water problem experienced by so many of the village’s Boulder Hill water customers. But, unfortunately, the Boulder Hill water system will likely require still more expensive repairs in the years ahead and that will most certainly come only with additional expense.

Referring to the soon to be completed program, Peter Wallers, president of Engineering Enterprises Inc., the village’s engineering consultant, told the board, “There is more work that will need to be done out there [in Boulder Hill], but I think this gets to the worst of what’s been out there.”

For the sake of the village’s Boulder Hill water customers, we hope the cost for those future repairs will be significantly less.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Daniel Gray built this large gristmill of native limestone along the west bank of the Fox River in Montgomery in the early 1850s. In design and function it was much like similar mills along the Fox River at Oswego, Yorkville, Millington and Millbrook.

Millwrights helped build Fox Valley Pioneer farmers were vital to settling the frontier, but so was an enterprising group of skilled businessmen. Pioneer millwrights closely followed the tide of settlement as it moved west, with saw mills and grist mills providing some of the first economic services for new frontier communities.

Pioneer millwrights were an interesting group of fellows. Millwrights had to know a little about an awful lot of things: how to identify the best spots for a dam, how to build a dam and millrace, how to build a mill building, how to build the milling machinery and how to operate the milling business after construction was finished.

In the early days, virtually everything in the mill was made of wood, from the building itself to the machinery the mill building housed. About the only non-wooden items in the earliest mills were the millstones in grist mills and metal saw blades in saw mills.

Two of the county’s first millwrights, John Schneider and Ebenezer Morgan, arrived here at about the same time.

Schneider came west from New York to Chicago in 1832, and Morgan arrived with his family a year later, also from the Empire State.

Schneider first traveled west from Chicago to Capt. John Naper’s settlement on the DuPage River, where he helped Naper build a dam and mill. In 1833, Schneider explored west of the DuPage and found an excellent mill site on the west bank of the Fox River at the mouth of Blackberry Creek. Schneider marked his claim and then went back to help Naper finish his mill.

Morgan claimed land along the small creek that would one day bear his name, located just south of Oswego.

The fall of 1833 saw the arrival of Levi Gorton and Benjamin Phillips from Pennsylvania and John and William Wormley, who walked to the Fox Valley from New York prospecting for likely land. All four men settled near what eventually became Oswego. The contributions of Gorton and the Wormleys to the area’s pioneer mill history would be considerable.

By late 1834, Schneider and Morgan both had primitive saw mills in operation, Schneider at his Blackberry Creek location and Morgan on Morgan Creek.

In 1835, the Clark family moved to

FORUM Sheriff working in the hot sun

To the Editor: On Thursday, July 30, while traveling on Ill. Route 71 approaching the Kendall County Fairgrounds in Yorkville, I witnessed our own Kendall County Sheriff Dwight Baird in the hot sun directing traffic at the main entrance to the fairgrounds.

It is truly refreshing to see a public servant such as Dwight willing to do the not-so-glamorous duties instead of sitting behind a desk in the air-conditioned public safety center.

We all should be proud to have a leader such as Sheriff Baird in charge of our county law enforcement.

Proposed bridge wasteful spending

To the Editor: To Kendall County Engineer Fran Klaas and the Kendall County Board: the proposed Eldamain bridge and roads that will eventually dump traffic onto Route 71 is a typical government nightmare, wasteful spending and more wasteful spending.

Since Eldamain Road will be four lanes from Jericho Road to Route 34 and, per Mr. Klaas, the remaining two lanes on Route 34 from Eldamain to Route 47 will be four lanes, with four lanes already being configured from Morris heading north. Finish this project allowing traffic to be able to get off at Routes 71, 52 and Route 80 if so desired.

If the concern is about truck traffic, after going through a few blocks of Yorkville it’s wide open country to Morris.

Another Taj Mahal is on the way

To the Editor: Another Taj Mahal is coming, whether you like it or not.

After reading the Ledger-Sentinel and talking to a few elected officials, I have come to the conclusion that building a new police station in Oswego

Thursday, August 13, 2015 Ledger-Sentinel • Page 5

is inevitable whether the taxpayers want it or not. I have asked several times why other options haven’t been explored such as building a second floor on the current station and a parking structure in the rear, or utilizing the 65 percent vacant Village Hall as a secondary building. I was told, “No, secondary building is not good per the police management.” You see, a study was already done in 2008 by the same company that is going to be paid again to do the same study. This company recommended a secondary building.

I understand that the cost could be up towards $29 million for the new station. Keep in mind that the company that does the study will tell you that you need a state-of-the-art building. I understand that they may need space, but it still works and has not shut down operations. Building a new building because the old one is 20 years old is an excuse to waste tax dollars which could be used elsewhere such as using that revenue to revitalize the downtown area in order to bring in more revenue to the businesses.

Take a look at what Plainfield has done to their downtown. Historically police and fire have always been in competition with each other in many towns as to who has the bigger and better. But in Oswego, the fire district does not answer to any elected officials, so they spend and waste tax dollars on a daily basis. The police are governed by elected officials.

Don’t build another Taj Mahal because your management wants it. Build it because you need it, but not until all other options have been exhausted.

In fact, why not move the police department into the Village Hall and have Village Hall move into the police department seeing that more that 65 percent of the Village Hall sits empty?

Keep in mind that raising taxes is an easy solution. It is the person who looks from within and finds solutions that makes a great politician.

We live in one of the highest taxing counties in the country.

Maybe it’s time to start making decisions to change that stat.

It is more efficient to make the taxpayers happy and not let greed get in the way.

Limelight Theatre expresses thanks

To the Editor: We would like to thank everyone who helped us make the Limelight Theatre Company’s 15th anniversary summer season such a success. We had over 200 actors, musicians and technicians participate in four spectacular productions.

We tried a lot of new things this year, while also sticking

to our roots. We started the season with a battle over the water in an original adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s “An Enemy of the People,” took a flight to Neverland in Disney’s “Peter Pan Jr.,” headed out to the park to perform “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” in the open air, and wrapped things up with a lot of pink in the heartwarming tale of self discovery that is “Legally Blonde The Musical.”

These shows were so successful because of the hard work and dedication of everyone involved. These actors had mere weeks to learn lines, blocking, songs and dances. We challenged them every step of the way and they certainly rose to the occasion. Their parents and families helped them to practice at home, and helped them get to and from rehearsal every day. Talented volunteers contributed their skills in everything from costuming making/finding to scenic painting to baking cookies to selling tickets to set building (and un-building) to creating fairy wings, TV cameras, and much, much more.

We are incredibly lucky to have so much support from the community. Thank you to Murphy Jr. High and Fox Chase Elementary School for giving us a home to rehearse and perform. Thank you to Eric Arrimbide and Scott Bedell and the OPAC staff for technical support. Thank you to Michael Leali and the OHS Drama Department and Nicole Schremp and the OEHS Drama Department for lending us costume pieces and props.

Thank you to all of the members of the community who came to see our shows and support the arts.

We have had a fabulous summer celebrating our first 15 years, and we cannot wait for all of the stories that the next 15 will bring. We hope you all join us for the ride.

Church rummage sale a success

To the Editor: Church of the Good Shepherd’s rummage sale that took place over the past three weeks brought in almost $4,000 for the United Methodist Church’s Imagine No Malaria Campaign.

Every $100 raised saves a life. Thank you to Amy Tondu for her leadership and hard work on making this event such a success and to all of those volunteers who helped move items and man the sale.

A special thanks goes out to the Oswego Senior Center and Chuck and Joy Maass for all their help and assistance. We also want to thank everyone in the community who

donated items and came out to support this cause.

Truly grateful to blood donors

To the Editor: The Carr family would like to express our deepest thanks to everyone who came out and donated blood for Tia Carr on Saturday, July 18. Your donation of time and lifesaving supplies means more to us than words can express. We had 47 people donate and collected 39 units of blood. Thank you for showing your support and we hope to see you next time.

We would also like to thank the American Red Cross for their diligent efforts as well as the Oswego Family YMCA, My Sister’s Lil Donut Shoppe, Jimmy John’s, Rosati’s Pizza, Village Grind Coffee and Tea Co., Dairy Hut, Jake’s Bagels and Deli, local newspapers, Prayer Warriors, friends, and family. It means so much to Tia that so many people care about helping her – lightening her load. It really lifts her spirit. As a mother, I am truly grateful for all of you.

Thank you again.

No pay until state budget issue resolved

To the Editor: Throughout my first year as a state representative, I have stated that it would be inappropriate for state legislators to collect pay while state employees do not during any extended budget deadlock. Illinoisans have called for bipartisan efforts in the budget-making process, and until an agreement can be made, legislative pay has not been earned in Springfield. I have brought forth resolutions and legislation in support of this belief.

With a similar effort, I’m happy that my colleague State Rep. David McSweeney filed House Bill 4253 in an effort to halt legislative salaries.

I am a chief co-sponsor. This bill would apply the pressure needed to get the bipartisan budget passed that the state very much desires. No budget, no pay for legislators.

If 118 representatives and 59 senators were not getting paid, they would be pushing leadership more forcefully to come up with a compromise.

To think we are in August and still undergoing a political charade that holds our most vulnerable at risk is shameful, and I do hope that the appropriate people decide to come to the negotiating table.

I’m a very big fan of good ideas, even ideas that aren’t my own, or ideas that originated with me but were drawn as somebody else’s. As long as

we enact items in Springfield that do right for Illinois, I am pleased to support them, any way they come. House Bill 4253 is a necessary and good idea. My colleague State Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer recently spoke out on the House floor in favor of House Bill 4253. He did so due to the fact that he could not report to his valued constituents that a balanced budget has been passed.

House Bill 4253 is beneficial to Illinois. It could apply the pressure needed to get those in power to finally come to the drawing board and pound out a solution.

Helping grow business

To the Editor: I realize how important access to capital is to small businesses, and that is why I co-sponsored House Bill 3429.

With the governor signing this proposal into law on July 29, Illinois joins more than half of the states in the country in committing to support entrepreneurs and grow small businesses. This is reflective of why Illinois was named last month as the second in the nation for small business start-ups.

In addition to Illinois’ strengths of an educated workforce and access to transportation, intrastate crowdfunding will provide the support small businesses and entrepreneurs need, by allowing a vast number of individuals to make small investments into a business they believe in. This new law permits small businesses and entrepreneurs to raise money from Illinois residents who would be the investors in their community.

Thus, small businesses can access the capital they need to grow and create local jobs.

There are many avenues where Illinois is a leader in

creating and helping businesses grow. This new law is one example of how working with the small business community inspires good policy and partnerships to grow jobs and opportunities for our small businesses.

I am always looking for ideas on how to make Illinois more attractive to small businesses and improve our local economy. If you have an idea or concerns, please reach out to me at 630-585-1308 or stephanie.kifowit@att.net.

State Rep. Stephanie Kifowit 84th District, D-Oswego

Letters to newspaper entertaining

To the Editor: I truly find Ed Warshak’s letters to the Ledger-Sentinel Forum every week quite entertaining. He is totally anti-Bruce Rauner despite the fact that our new governor is not even being given an opportunity to fail. Ed would love to just maintain the Madigan/Cullerton status quo that has produced a state bankrupt and unable to fulfill basic obligations.

Ed also said last week that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is the “love child,” to use Ed’s words, of the Koch brothers.

I guess that the hundreds of millions of dollars that George Soros has donated to countless Democrat candidates doesn’t really amount to anything that resembles political support for left-wing office pursuers.

Ed, things work both ways.

Donations to political PACs come from both sides of the aisle but I guess when a Democrat is given millions it is a wise investment and when a Republican gets a donation it is undue influence-peddling in Ed’s narrow mind.

Iran deal, townships

To the Editor: Finally key Democrats, Sen. Charles Schumer and ranking House Foreign Affairs member Eliot Engle, have taken a stand to oppose Obama’s Iran deal realizing that it is not in the best interest for the future defense of the United States. Meanwhile, President Obama resorts to scare tactics, saying the only alternative for not agreeing to his deal is war with Iran in the near future, which is not the only option.

The embargo on Iran was working by putting Iran in a dire economic state and the embargo should be continued. Obama and Kerry’s deal of releasing $150 billion to Iran will solve their economic problem and will undoubtedly be used to send more munitions to the terrorists that have killed and are killing our soldiers in the Mid-East.

The deal allows Iran to continue its nuclear development without adequate inspections. Inspections are

allowed only after a 24-day advance notice and inspections of military installations are not allowed. No U.S. personnel are allowed on the inspection teams; therefore, the inspections are virtually worthless. The whole deal is based on trusting Iran, which we know cannot be trusted. After 10 years the deal ends and will allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon and they are currently developing an inter-continental missile capable of delivering a weapon. Iran has vowed to eliminate Israel and destroy America.

There are alternatives to war with Iran; however, if necessary which would be best, a conventional war in the near future or a nuclear war with Iran when they get a nuclear weapon?

Obama’s deal only serves a short-term solution based on trusting Iran with a probability of a nuclear war later.

Would any sane person give ammunition to someone who has threatened to kill you? Contact our senators and encourage a no vote on this terrible deal and a vote to override Obama’s veto.

On a local issue, I believe that any elected, taxpayer-paid official should live in and pay taxes in the electoral district where they are elected. Regarding the current Oswego Township road commissioner issue, a solution that would solve the problem now and in the future would be to abolish township government.

Townships were necessary years ago when there were large areas with sparse population and not many towns to provide a meeting place and services.

That is no longer the case.

When service functions continue, without the top administrator even being present, it proves that at the very least that position could be eliminated saving taxpayers’ money.

Townships are an unnecessary layer of government because counties now could provide all services. Eliminating townships would cause significant taxpayer savings because all township administrative positions would be eliminated.

and many volunteers.

Much of Wyngard’s time was spent soliciting funds to operate the new senior center. Funding from the Northeastern Illinois Agency on Aging for the meal program also had to be requested on a regular basis. In 2010 the Aging Agency also named OSI a Community Connection Center. The CCC funds provide for activities/programs for recreation, socialization, senior education, trips and health screenings.

Weber said, “After the village board approved the

creation of the senior advisory committee, Bob Wyngard stepped forward to vigorously lead this group with his experience, energy and team-building skills to develop a strong organization and advocate for the senior citizens of the Oswego area.”

In 2009 Wyngard, with the village, applied for a Governor’s Hometown Award. It was presented to a contingency of village, county and OSI board members and Wyngard at the Governor’s Mansion in 2010.

Robert “Bob” Wyngard will resign as executive director of Oswegoland Seniors, Inc. effective Aug. 28.

Wyngard began working with seniors in 2002 when he was asked by then Oswego Village President Craig Weber to serve on a newly created senior advisory committee.

Wyngard was elected chairman and has served in a leadership role for the past 13 years. During the existence of the committee (2002-05) and with Wyngard’s leadership, area seniors were identified and surveyed; the village’s downtown area was made more senior-friendly with handicapped parking and curb enhancements; a reduced garbage rate was instituted for seniors in the village; and annual health fairs were begun. Wyngard and other committee members also worked with State Sen. Linda Holmes, D-Aurora, and State Rep. Tom Cross, R-Oswego, to secure funding for senior projects.

In 2005 the committee was discontinued and a senior commission was established.

Wyngard was named the chairman, a position he held until 2010.

One of the accomplishments of the commission was the establishment of a congregate meal program funded through the Northeastern Illinois Area Agency on Aging.

It was unique because congregate programs in the region were failing while home-delivered programs Robert were flourish- Wyngard ing. Oswego’s program, which eventually reached over 100 participants, was singled out by the aging agency for special recognition. When the meal program exceeded the capacity of the United Methodist Church where it was housed,

Oswego East alum’s next goal is joining Puerto Rico’s traveling team • POSS

Continued from page 11 lifeguard training at Yorkville’s Raging Waves came in handy.

“I was swimming by myself and there was a guy way out, yelling.

I could tell he was drowning,” Poss said. “I tried to go over and help him, even though I didn’t have a rescue tube or any type of floatie or tube or anything ... a lifeguard [eventually] came out with a rescue tube and got the guy out of the water ... he thanked me a million times and that was it.”

Next on her summer tour was Panama City, Panama, where Poss won the bronze medal, as her Puerto Rican trios team with Kristie Lopez and Nicole Rivera placed third behind Mexico and the United States at the 2015 PABCON Games.

Poss was also a member of a Puerto Rican doubles team (with Lopez) that placed sixth with an average of 186.17. She also placed eighth in singles play in the Under-21 singles

“That was the highlight of the summer because we saw team USA and saw basically all of the American teams there,” Poss said. “I have heard about PABCON forever and I’ve always wanted to go. It was an experience.”

All this success doesn’t surprise Poss’ former Oswego East bowling

Season ends with 3-2 loss • CATS

Continued from page 11 went on, allowing another run in the fourth. In all, he surrendered 12 hits but racked up a total of seven strikeouts in eight innings.

Loukota pitched the ninth, as Thielk was dealing with a blood blister.

In support of their pitcher, the Cats cut the deficit with two runs in the fifth and con-

tinued their momentum into the sixth with a seven-run rally. Offensively, Bobby Smith had three hits, while Rissley and Jose Camacho each had two RBIs. “At that point, they [Long Beach] were kinda done, and we were hoping to keep our foot on the gas; you could tell they were defeated,” Miller said. “It was good to bounce back from the loss and good to bounce back from being down.”

“She’s something else. She’s amazing,” Hillman said. “She’s just one of those exceptional athletes who has really dedicated herself. She’s worked hard and has given everything she has to the sport.”

In the United States as an individual in May, Poss placed 32nd of 202 in her first professional tournament, USBC Queens, in Green Bay.

In mid-July, she participated in her fifth and final Junior Gold Championships and about two weeks ago, she won the ISYL Tournament in Moline.

Poss’ next big goal is to join the Puerto Rican travel team so she can be a part of the World Bowling Championship in Abu Dhabi at the end of the year. She will learn if she has a spot on the roster by October. In the meantime, she’s getting ready for her third season at Vanderbilt.

“I’m not exactly where I want to be yet, but I still have two more years to figure it out,” Poss said. “I’m really excited for this next year. I’m working with Marty and I have all this experience I didn’t have before, and it’s going to help a lot.”

Miller, who has coached Poss since she was 13 and is Waubonsie Valley’s head girls coach, knows he has a superstar in the making.

“When you’ve done this as much as I have at this level, it’s something you can see. She is always willing to do the work to get there,” said Miller.

Surprising summer for Poss Bowling talents take Vanderbilt junior on Puerto Rican adventure

prize here, something to shoot for and play for every year. The most excited people were the guys that have been there before, and it was a little contagious for everyone else.”

Tournament Notes: On Thursday, Long Island cracked the scoreboard first, crossing the plate twice in the fourth inning, but its lead wouldn’t last long, as Oswego rallied with four runs in the fifth. While the Storm cut into the deficit with a run in the sixth, the Cats earned it back in the seventh. But in the bottom of the frame, Long Island tacked on four runs to retake the lead at 7-5.

Oswego knotted the score with two of its own in the eighth, but Long Island sent the winning run home in the second half of the inning. Despite having a leadoff runner in the ninth, the Cats couldn’t bring him in.

Right-hander Cody Love gave up three runs in six innings with five strikeouts, giving way to right-handed reliever Kendall Interial, who surrendered four runs in the seventh. Right-hander Tom Ozlanski took the hard-luck loss by conceding the game-winner in the eighth.

Oswego was boosted by the efforts of infielders Ryan O’Dell, who had two doubles, and Mike Rissley, who had two RBIs. Outfielder Bailey Watros also had two RBIs in his three at-bats.

After losing in the first round, the Cats had a chance to make a splash in the consolation bracket against the Long Beach Legends on Friday afternoon. Righthander Brandon Thielk took the mound for the first time since pitching a complete-game win versus Lombard on June 24. The 28-year-old Sandwich native works out of state and missed all of July but found a way to be effective despite a rough first inning in which he conceded four runs.

Thielk settled in as the game

Giselle Poss’ bowling career certainly did not peak in high school.

Two years after winning the 2013 girls bowling state title, the Oswego East alum has taken her talents to an international level.

Poss’ mother, Eileen, was born in Puerto Rico, which allows Poss to compete for the Puerto Rican team, and this summer she has traveled to Mexico, Puerto Rico and Panama – among other places – to compete in various tournaments before she returns to Vanderbilt University this fall for her junior year with the women’s bowling team.

If all continues to go well, she may be headed to the World Bowling Championships in Abu Dhabi, and perhaps, a career as a professional bowler like her longtime personal coach, Marty Miller.

Poss, a native of Montgomery, could have joined the team sooner – if she had only checked her Facebook messages.

“Back in November/beginning of December, I got a message from the president of the Puerto Rican national team [Randy Raldiris], asking me if I wanted to come out to the team trials around Christmas. What an opportunity, so why not?” Poss said. “They had known about me for a while and tried to contact me, but I never really used Facebook. The first time they tried to contact me was in 2012, and I never saw the message until last Christmas, so this could have been something that was happening three years ago.”

By March of 2015, the 20-year-old Poss had a spot on the team. Just before her first-ever overseas trip, Vanderbilt saw its season come to an end on April 10 in the first round of the NCAA Bowling Championships, where the Commodores lost in the double-elimination tournament to Fairleigh Dickinson and Wisconsin-Whitewater in St. Louis.

Poss’ sophomore year went a lot better than her first year – she bettered her score by an average of 12 pins and got used to the tougher competition.

“Everyone in college is the star. They were anchors in high school, and now you have all the anchors on one team and you have to pick who is going to be the superstar. You can’t, because everyone is the superstar,” said Poss, who was a two-time All-Stater and Oswego East’s first-ever Dexter/USBC High School All-American. (She was one of five females in the United States selected for the honor). “[Sophomore year] went much better. I understood what was going on and bowled better because of it.”

By May, Poss was ready for all the action that kicked off the summer. She traveled outside the United States for the first time when she represented Puerto Rico at the Concecabol Games in Mexico City. There, she averaged a 207, and Puerto Rico won the first team medal in nine years, taking silver. In June, she was a part of the Puerto Rican team at Olympic Cup Bowling Tournament in Puerto Rico, where she left with three medals.

She also left Puerto Rico a hero. At 5-foot-3, the petite bowler also helped save a large 22-year-old man from drowning while she was on the beach during a break in the tournament. Her

Win over Long Beach gives Cats 5th-place World Series finish

By LAURA M. MEDINA sports@kendallcountynow.com After earning their first bid to the Stan Musial World Series in three years, the Oswego Cats again proved that they belonged among some of the best teams in the nation.

While they fought hard to stay alive, the Cats couldn’t outlast the competition, as they suffered a 3-2 loss versus the Braintree White Sox and finished fifth in the double-elimination tournament on Saturday afternoon at Farmingdale State (N.Y.) College.

Oswego clinched the American Amateur Baseball Congress Regional Tournament with four wins in five games at Jackie’s Field of Dreams at the end of July, earning its first playoff trip since taking fourth overall at the Stan Musial World Series in Port St. Lucie (Fla.) in 2012.

“Overall, I’m pretty happy. We [placed fifth] with a small roster of 16 guys because of availability,” Cats field manager Todd Miller said. “Our goal was to make it to Saturday.”

In their 8-7 first-round loss to the Long Island Storm on Thursday night, the Cats rallied back in the fifth from a two-run deficit.

Then, they were down by five in the first four innings of an eventual 9-5 win over the Long Beach Legends on Friday afternoon.

Against Braintree on Saturday, Oswego trailed in the first inning, as the opposition scored its three runs off right-handed starter Kevin Loukota.

“Getting through the regional was their first eye-opener,” Miller said. “Once we got up here, and they saw some of the teams, especially the Long Island team, which had guys that were at least 25 to 35 years old, things changed.

It woke them up.

“Ultimately, it didn’t go our way [in the whole tournament], but it could have. Going 1-2 doesn’t sound good and losing two games

Members of the Oswego Cats baseball team ride the bus August 6 to Farmingdale University in Farmingdale, N.Y., to compete in the three-day AABC Stan Musial World Series last Thursday. by one run is disheartening, but it shows that we didn’t give up.”

Just as they had throughout the tournament, the Cats rallied to put themselves on the board, scoring two runs in the sixth, one coming on a hit by centerfielder Clay Schuler (2-for-2), but they couldn’t get much else going as the game continued.

“They didn’t score the rest of the game, but we had a little bit of anxiousness,” Miller said. “Every inning, it seemed like we had runners on, and we couldn’t get the hit we needed. They were a good team with solid defense and didn’t make a lot of mistakes.

“With this big stage, sometimes the pressure builds – and we’re playing against guys that are minor leaguers – but we just have to remember to win with what we have and the way we play. We gave ourselves a chance to be in the game.”

Loukota gave up eight hits and recorded five strikeouts in his complete-game effort against Braintree. The defending World Series champion played later on Saturday but was eliminated from the tournament by eventual victor Westchase Express, which needed to play the Long Island Storm twice on Sunday afternoon to win the title.

Though the Cats were unable

to reach 20 regular-season victories and faltered in their ultimate goal to win the Stan Musial World Series, they experienced growth in other areas, specifically with getting new players to buy into the team’s purposeful mission.

“We wanted 20 wins, and we came up short, but we were right there overall,” Miller said. “It was good to see the first-year guys contribute in individual games or sustain it over a few games.

“The pitching was solid, and everybody contributed off the bench. Up and down the lineup, everyone picked their spots and contributed. Sometimes, it’s hard putting the lineup together, and not everyone’s going to be happy, but they had a good attitude this season.”

As Miller thinks ahead to next year, his greatest hope is that Oswego continues to build on its recent successes. Should the Cats return the players that brought them to the postseason this summer, they might have another opportunity to do.

“They know what this is now and what a taste of success is,” Miller said. “We just have to guard against complacency and the feeling that we’re going to make it every year just because we made it the year before. Hopefully, these guys see the bigger

RUTH LORD TUCH Born: April 23, 1926 Died: July 26, 2015

Ruth Lord Tuch, known to all as Mimi, died Sunday, July 26, 2015, in the Skilled Nursing Center of Maplewood Senior Residence in Bethesda, MD. The cause of death was a massive stroke, according to her physician.

Born April 23, 1926, the daughter of Dr. A. E. and Ruth (Sears) Lord, and educated through high school in Plano, Illinois, she attended Carleton College in Northfield, MN, earning a BA degree in 1947. While at Carleton

she was admitted to Phi Beta Kappa in her junior year and was valedictorian of her class.

She then attended the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) of Johns Hopkins University in Washington, D.C. earning a MA degree in 1948.

She became a foreign affairs analyst at the then super-secret Army Intelligence Agency.

Mrs. Tuch met her future husband, Hans (Tom) Tuch at SAIS. They were married in 1949 in Wiesbaden, Germany, Mr. Tuch’s first posting as a Foreign Service Officer. Her budding career ended abruptly since the State Department at that time did not permit FSO spouses to work. The Foreign Service essentially got two for one, since wives were expected to participate informally in their spouses’ foreign service careers, particularly in representational responsibilities.

Frequently when asked “Mrs. Tuch and what do you do?” she responded, “I count anchovies.”

The couple served in Wiesbaden, Frankfurt, Munich, Moscow, Sofia, Berlin, Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia, and Bonn with intermittent assignments in Washington. After Mr. Tuch’s retirement from the Foreign Service in 1985, they settled in Bethesda, MD and engaged in an active cultural life.

They subscribed to and supported the Arena Stage, Shakespeare Theatre, Studio Theatre and Roundhouse Theatre for many years. Their main engagement, however, was with music--opera, concerts and recitals. They subscribed to and supported the Washington Concert Opera, The National Symphony Orchestra, the Washington National Opera, the Summer Opera, the Washington Bach Consort, Vocal Arts DC and occasionally attended the MET in New York, the Philadelphia and Baltimore Opera companies. Their principal engagement since 1986 has been with the Wolf Trap Opera Company in Vienna, VA. Mr. and Mrs. Tuch were married for 65 years.

Mrs. Tuch is survived by her husband, her son, David and his

wife Helena in Sao Paulo, Brazil; by a daughter, Andrea and her husband Patrick Lannan in Santa Fe, NM; and by two sisters, Emily Leyshon in Prescott, AZ and Sally Bodi in Long Island, NY.

ELIZABETH M. WILSON Born: May 17, 1909 Died: Aug. 9, 2015

Elizabeth “Bette” M. Wilson, 106, of Yorkville, passed away on Sunday, August 9, 2015, at Hillside Rehabilitation and Care Center. She was born May 17, 1909, in Sugar Grove, IL, the daughter of the late Ruel H. and Hazel (Graham) Mighell.

Elizabeth attended and graduated from Sugar Grove schools, class of 1927. She was a 1935 graduate of Copley School of Nursing. Elizabeth started her career at Copley Hospital, also doing geriatric and private nursing and finished at Sunnymere Retirement Home in Aurora.

She was united in marriage to Alfred C. Wilson on November 28, 1937. She was a member of First United Methodist Church in Aurora, Sugar Grove United

FOR THE RECORD 5

Court training program begins RECORD NEWSPAPERS Kendall County State’s Attorney Eric Weis announced this week his office has implemented a new “court day” training program designed to keep law enforcement officers aware of new case law, legislative updates and procedures.

The program began Aug. 3 at the county courthouse in Yorkville.

Currently, Kendall County law enforcement officers are assigned one court date per month where they appear in court for any citations they have written or any trials they are involved in.

Starting this week, assistant state’s attorneys will conduct condensed versions

of training seminars for officers on a monthly basis. This training will occur prior to the regular court call scheduled for 1 p.m. The training will last 15-20 minutes and the topics will vary from month to month. Officers can request topics to be covered during the next month’s training.

“The ‘court day’ training program was suggested by one of my prosecutors during a staff meeting,” Weis said. “We worked out the logistics and I think that this training will only benefit law enforcement going forward.

This new method of training will allow officers within the county the same training and information on a timely basis. Officers will be made aware of new or changing

laws or procedures in a much quicker time frame.”

Weis continued, “This training will be at no cost to the law enforcement agency nor will it require any additional cost for the officer to attend the training as he/she is already here for his/her court appearance.

“Finally, officers will be able to ask questions face-toface with a familiar assistant state’s attorney who they are comfortable with and trust.

I think that it will be a winwin for law enforcement as well as the judicial system,” Weis said.

The “court day” training is designed to supplemental the rigorous training that law enforcement officers receive through their individual departments.

Hatch enrolled in KYEP in May to receive GED help;

she prepared for the GED test while working at two jobs.

The new eligibility requirements for KYEP that started on July 1 are more lenient than before.

Seward Township aids bus service SHAW MEDIA The Voluntary Action Center recently announced that Seward Township has provided $2,000 for use in the operation of Kendall Area Transit. The donation will be used as a local match, which is required by the Downstate Operating Assistance Program funding from the state of Illinois.

Paul LaLonde, assistant director at VAC, said money provided by community partners is crucial in helping VAC access critical matching funds required by the transportation

grants.

“Matching funds are the lifeline to KAT,” LaLonde said. “Without them, we couldn’t access the grants, which provide the most funding of the system.”

Jean Homerding, township supervisor, said the township decided to support VAC’s mission after hearing about how the program helps Seward residents: “So many of our neighbors need help these days, especially in our rural township. We were surprised at how active KAT is in Seward Township, and we appreciate their outreach to us.”

In 2010 – KAT’s first year of operation – 4,755 rides were provided, averaging 24 trips per day.

Within a year, service had more than doubled and continued to increase substantially as word spread about the new service.

Today, VAC gives 110 dial-a-ride trips a day and provided over 27,000 trips in fiscal 2015. KAT is a community and public transportation program but is especially important for seniors and persons with disabilities.

“What many people may not realize,” said LaLonde, “is that KAT is truly a

community project. KAT couldn’t operate successfully at its current level without the participation and support of community partners like Seward Township. We are thankful for their support, as well as the support from all our friends and partners.”

As the KAT program continues fulfilling the transit needs of residents, VAC looks forward to meeting the challenges posed by rapidly expanding ridership. As KAT continues to grow and expand, the residents of Kendall County remain the chief benefactor of its services.

Goals SMART?

There is a very interesting psychology experiment where you trick people into either smiling or “The plans of the frowning without their knowing it (by telling them to diligent lead to profit hold a pencil either in their teeth, to make them as surely as haste smile, or with their pursed lips, to make them leads to poverty.” frown), and while they hold that facial position you tell them a joke. Those who are holding the smile —Proverbs 21:5 usually rate the joke as being funnier, presumably because they are already halfway laughing to start aving meaningful goals is an with. The moral of the experiment, if experiments important part of a happy, can be said to have a moral, is that our bodies fulfilled life. We should always have some to work often take worthy the lead goals in making us feeltowards, happy or both sad, in the short-run and the long-run. If your goals are worth having, it helps to think about them or calm or anxious.

Vegetables can still be productive for a couple more months depending on what crops you have been growing. Certainly long-season crops like tomatoes and peppers could continue to produce until frost, and crops like Swiss chard can tolerate quite a bit of cool or even cold weather.

Root crops like turnips, carrots, beets, parsnips, potatoes and onions can be harvested anytime they are ready and into frosty weather. If you mulch the rows with straw to prevent freezing, root crops could be harvested even with snow cover.

A trend in vegetables the past couple of seasons has been the idea of growing greens and harvesting them while they are very small and tender. So our calendar may not allow us to grow lettuces, greens and spinach to their mature sizes, yet we can certainly harvest them as whole smaller plants for fresh table use in salads and garnish for other dishes as well.

You can experiment with season extenders to get a bit farther into fall and not have the weather put an end to your gardening experience. These can be as simple as protecting from the earliest of frosts by covering tender plants

At noon on Tuesday, Aug. 18, the executive chef from Presence Fox Knoll, an independent and assisted living retirement community, will show attendees how to

cook a tasty, non-spicy Thai chicken stir-fry with basil and cashews on soba rice noodles. To register for this free demo and lunch at the Oswego Senior Center, call 630-554-5604 by Aug. 14.

More involved will be a temporary structure created over the rows or setting the cold frame you used in the spring to harden off your plants over a portion of a row or rows. Most anything you used in the spring to protect your vegetables from the late frosts can be reused to protect from the early fall frosts.

It seems a bit odd to add this last part in a column in August, but if you have valuable produce close to being mature enough to harvest, be prepared to harvest if you cannot protect the plants so the fruit is not damaged by the cold weather.

What you do not want to allow is the weeds to go to seed in areas where you have already harvested all your vegetables. This will set you up for a weed problem next year. Since most gardeners do not have a “hot” composting system, those weed seed heads should be thrown out and not put in the compost bin.

where we used our own compost as organic matter, for example.

If you have enough of an open area, consider sowing a cover crop to help condition the soil and keep the weed population down. You can turn them in late this fall or leave them as winter cover if you like. If you routinely turn in all your plant parts each year, don’t turn in diseased plants that will provide disease inoculum for next year. Gardeners who mow, mulch and bag their tree leaves also have the option of using those in the garden as well, turning them in alone or with other kinds or organic matter.

Questions about your yard or garden? The Kendall County Master Gardener Help Desk is open for the season. Trained volunteers can answer your tree, garden, lawn and other horticulture questions from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at 630-5535823.

How to dig and store summer bulbs End of growing season approaching – time to prepare plants for winter SHAW MEDIA Summer bulbs add beauty to the landscape when earlier spring bulbs have long faded and flowering shrubs have turned to foliage for the season.

“However, summer bulbs must be dug up at the end of your growing season and properly stored inside for the winter in order to have a floral display the following year,” explained Richard Hentschel, University of Illinois Extension horticulture educator.

By tradition, a bulb refers to any plant that maintains its entire life cycle in a storage root.

A few of the well-known, common summer-blooming bulbs are lily, gladiolus caladiums, iris, canna, and dahlia. Summer bulbs are planted in the spring after the chance of frost and the garden soils have warmed.

To dig summer bulbs

at the end of the season, Hentschel said to wait until the bulb foliage has naturally died down or dig immediately after a killing frost.

Digging summer bulbs usually means loosening the soil with a garden fork or spade several inches away from where the bulb is believed to be and gently lifting the plant without damage to the bulb itself, Hentschel said.

“At this point, the outer skin of the bulb is soft and tender so caution is needed,” he added. “Most often summer bulbs are stored with a small amount of soil still clinging to the roots. A gentle shake to remove any excess soil will be a good step.”

Summer bulbs need to be cured before storage to toughen up the outer skin.

Curing means allowing the freshly dug bulbs to dry down in a cool shady location before being stored.

Summer bulbs that are put into storage still wet or damaged during the digging process could easily develop storage rots and other kinds of decay, Hentschel said. The time from digging to actual storage of the bulb for the winter can take a few days to a few weeks and should be done during warm late-summer and early-fall weather.

Hentschel recommended that if there are many different kinds of summer bulbs to store, labeling each clump should be done.

“One neat trick for larger bulbs such as amaryllis or elephant ears is to use a magic marker and write directly on the bulb,” he said.

Storage temperatures for summer bulbs can range from 40 to 60 degrees, with 50 degrees being a good goal.

If kept too warm, bulbs will begin to grow in storage, and, if they are kept too cold, they suffer and can be slow to grow when planted again in the spring.

While in storage, check on the bulbs at least once

during the winter months to be sure the bulbs are sound.

“If any bulbs show decay, remove them before the decay spreads to healthy bulbs,” Hentschel said.

Some storage roots may need to have the soil or storage media moistened but never saturated to maintain adequate moisture so the storage roots are not all dried by planting time.

“With these easy steps, summer blooms will grace your garden year after year,” Hentschel said.

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 all insurance companies (Medicaid excluded). Dr. Malik has been providing allergy treatment for more than 2 years and nearly every patient has responded well as evidenced by the results with repeat the allergy skin testing and overall reduced allergy symptoms.

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

Downy mildew spotted in pumpkin field SHAW MEDIA Downy mildew of cucurbits is a destructive disease of cucurbits, including pumpkins. According to a University of Illinois vegetable and fruit pathologist, infection in a pumpkin field has shown up in Illinois.

Mohammad Babadoost explained that downy mildew of cucurbits was recently diagnosed by colleague Daniel Egel in a watermelon field in Lawrence County, Ill., on July 23.

“I was hoping that the disease would not spread to other parts of the state. But yesterday [July 30], we observed severe infection by downy mildew pathogen in a processing pumpkin field in Mason County, Ill.,”

Babadoost said. “The pathogen will likely spread to other parts of the state.”

Downy mildew of cucurbits is a very destructive disease. “The present strain of the pathogen will likely infect all cucurbit crops, including cucumber, gourd, muskmelon, pumpkin, squash and watermelon,” Babadoost said.

Downy mildew affects leaves only.

Symptoms of downy mildew vary with the host and the environmental conditions. Babadoost explained that the first symptom is usually the appearance of indistinct pale green areas on the upper leaf surface. The pale green areas soon become yellow in color and angular to irregular in

shape, bounded by the leaf veins.

“As the disease progresses, the lesions may remain yellow or become brown and necrotic. During moist weather, the corresponding lower leaf surface is covered with a downy, pale gray to purple mildew. Often an upward leaf curling will occur,” he said.

If you don’t have the disease in your field yet, Babadoost recommends including chlorothalonil (e.g., Bravo Weather Stik) in weekly sprays.

If downy mildew is observed in the field, spray cucurbit crops with one the following fungicide combinations at weekly intervals: Revus 2.09SC or Previcur Flex 6SC or Tanus 50WG or Ranman 3.6SC or Gavel 75DF or Zampro 525F plus chlorothalonil.

BRIEF Emerald ash borer program on Aug. 26

The emerald ash borer is one pesky little bug that has caused extensive damage and death to thousands of ash trees in northeastern Illinois the last few years.

Too often, the ash borer’s presence is a death knell for trees it infects.

“So, You Have Ash Borer – Now What?” will be presented at the Yorkville Public Library at 7 p.m.

Wednesday, Aug. 26, to answer questions on identifying ash borer and the steps

homeowners can take.

Sponsored by the University of Illinois Extension and The Conservation Foundation, the program will help homeowners with control techniques, disposal of wood from dead tees, and alternatives to replacing the tree with more diverse native species.

Reservations are suggested and can be made by going to the library’s website at yorkville.lib.il.us or call 630-553-4354 no later than Aug. 24.

Annual fair showcases more than animals SHAW MEDIA Editor’s note: Following is the second half of the 2015 Kendall County 4-H Show results. The animal and livestock show results were published in the Aug. 6 issue. All results are available online at KendallCountyNow.com.

While 4-H livestock and pet shows are a popular and important part of the annual county fair experience, 4-H youth learn and exhibit in several other project areas.

“With 100-plus project areas, 4-H youth can explore arts, sciences, citizenship, leadership, engineering, technology and much more,” said Deanna Roby, University of Illinois Extension Educator for DuPage, Kane and Kendall counties. “During the annual county fair week, 4-H members have the opportunity to not only exhibit their hard work, but also participate in one-on-one conferences with knowledgeable volunteer judges to gain valuable feedback and insight for that particular area of study.”

4-H conference judging provides a unique opportunity for 4-H exhibitors to learn from the experiences and knowledge of the judge, Roby added.

General project areas include: Clothing, Sewing and Textiles; Community and Personal Development; Engineering and Technology; Foods; Home and Family; Natural Resources and Environment; Photography; Plants and Soils; and Visual Arts.

The 2015 Kendall County Fair 4-H Show results for these areas are as follows (listed by name, city of residence, and 4-H club):

FOOD BRIEF

Creative ideas for school lunches When it comes to packing a school lunch, you know the drill: Lay out two slices of bread. Spread one with peanut butter, the other with jelly. Press together, slice diagonally and place in sandwich bag. Repeat. And repeat. And repeat.

For creative sandwich substitutes, think outside the bread box: Create a bento-box-style, snackable lunch combo: include cheese and crackers, fresh grapes from California, and a small handful of nuts.

Make a sandwich rollup, using flatbread or flour tortillas as the base, or stuff pita pockets with filling, as a fun replacement for sliced bread.

Tuck whole-grain tortilla chips and salsa, a side of black bean and corn salad,

Brandpoint

plus cheese and grapes for a Mexican spin on lunch.

Tuck in a cluster of fresh grapes from California for an easy finger food that’s juicy and hydrating too.

Looking for a gluten-free alternative? Try a cheese stick rolled with a slice of ham, with grapes on the side.

Shapeshift familiar lunch items to add interest: offer cheese cubes, apple rings, carrot coins, and tortilla pinwheels.

hrimp are ideal for the dog days of summer.

They require a nanosecond of cooking and are great served chilled. Here, they elevate spicy nachos to dinner-course level, providing simple and refreshing nourishment. You can purchase cooked, chilled shrimp for this recipe.

But if you’re cooking your own, follow these tips for tender, flavorful shrimp: Sautéed or grilled: Toss raw, peeled shrimp in olive oil, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes and ground cumin. Sauté in a hot skillet or grill 3 minutes on each side.

Poached: Combine water, lemon halves, bay leaves and Old Bay Seasoning in a pot. Bring to a boil. Add raw, unpeeled shrimp and simmer about 3 to 4 minutes, until shrimp are bright pink. Use a slotted spoon to transfer shrimp to a bowl. Cover with ice to stop cooking.
