Tax assessments on rise in county First time in 5 years townships see increase; more home building among factors

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcoutynow.com Kendall County property tax assessments appear to be on the rise this year for the first time in about five years.

Andy Nicoletti, Kendall County’s supervisor of assessments, anticipates the average increase in assessments to be about 4.5 per-

cent compared to last year.

The county is required to publish all property assessments this year in what is known as a quadrennial or general reassessment year. Property owners should find their new assessment in this week’s paper printed among the roughly 53,000 other properties in the county. Property owners will also receive a notice of their new

assessment in the mail soon.

Assessments for properties in Oswego and NaAuSay townships are printed in this week’s edition of the Ledger-Sentinel, while assessments for properties in Bristol, Kendall, Seward, Lisbon, Big Grove and Fox townships have been printed in this week’s edition of the Kendall County Record. Little Rock Township as-

sessments have been published in the Plano Record.

According to state law, properties must be assessed at one-third their fair market value and based on a three-year average of property values. This year’s assessments are calculated using data from 2012, 2013 and 2014, which Nicoletti says were stable years for assessments.

Nicoletti reminds property owners that if they are not happy with their new assessment they can appeal to the county’s Board of Review within 30 days of the date of publication of the assessments. The final date to file an assessment appeal with the Board of Review this year is Oct. 13. All

Continued from page 1 assessments and links to filing with the Board of Review can be found at the county’s website at www.co.kendall. il.us/assessments.

The assessments you see this week will be what the county will use to calculate your property tax bill next year. Typically the county mails the bills in May. They are payable in installments in June and September.

“As the assessments increase, the tax rate will actually decrease and so it may not mean that your taxes are going to go down; it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are going to go up either,” Nicoletti said.

Officials use assessments to calculate tax bills by multiplying the value of each property by the tax rate for each government agency, minus any exemptions.

Despite a lower assessment, tax bills in the county may not automatically go down, Nicoletti points out.

Two factors control the amount of your tax bill, your assessment and the tax rate. If one increases, the other is usually going down, Nicoletti said.

Referring to the rising assessments, he said, “It means your property is going to be worth more than it was before if you’re going to sell. It’s also going to cause the tax rate to decrease.

When people are looking to buy, they do look at what that tax rate is and if they can get a similar house for similar money and lesser taxes they’re going to go where the lesser taxes are.”

The total equalized assessed value (EAV) for the county is projected at $2.9 billion, an increase of five percent from last year, when the value was $2.76 billion.

“We’ve had five years or so of decreasing property values, so we had lost about $900 million in EAV in that period,” Nicoletti said.

The value faded away over five years, Nicoletti said, as foreclosures and short sales were affecting the real estate market, which in turn affected the

assessments. However, Nicoletti explained that foreclosures are not counted in an assessor’s study as part of the general assessment.

Foreclosures, however, indirectly affect assessments by driving down prices.

Fewer foreclosures and short sales and more new home building appear to be driving the rise in assessments. In fact, Nicoletti pointed out that in looking at the data even the “bad sales” (foreclosures and bank-owned sales) are selling for more than they are assessed.

“We’ve got some decent sales coming through, so we’re probably looking at increases again, I would imagine, next year,” he said.

Little Rock Township saw the biggest increase in total assessments at about 9 percent and Big Grove saw the smallest increase at 2 percent. The average assessment increase was 3.4 percent in Kendall Township; 4.3 percent in Oswego Township; and 2.07 percent in Bristol Township. The average increase in Lisbon, NaAuSay and Seward, known as the multi-township district, was 7.14 percent, and Fox Township saw

an increase of 1.39 percent over last year.

Marie Bracken, assessor for Little Rock Township, noted the 9 percent increase in her township is based on a few factors.

“Some of these foreclosed sales are starting to flip now and the property sales are going up and the market value is going up and it’s causing the ratios to be higher and that means we got to increase the assessment,” she said.

Bracken expects to hear from many residents once assessments are published.

She stresses that assessors just value the property – they do not set the tax rates.

“There’d be no tax if there were no levies against the valuations,” she said.

“It depends on what’s levied and what different taxing districts ask for.”

In Oswego Township, assessor Dave Maher believes this is the start of trend of an uptick in property values.

Maher anticipates assessments to increase around 3 percent next year, which is consistent growth.

“I would consider that stable,” he said. “That’s better than the large fluctuations that we’ve had.”

Meanwhile, new construction as of August was at $12 million this year for Oswego Township compared to about $10 million last year, Maher said.

Susie Brusveen, assessor for NaAuSay, Lisbon and Seward Townships, said she hopes the tax rate falls enough that the rise in assessments won’t significantly impact tax bills.

“The home sales are starting to go up and we’ve got new construction going on down here and it’s picking up pretty good,” she said. “I hope it pushes the

rate down.”

NEWS 3

Oswego HS teacher nominated for top state award LEDGER-SENTINEL Oswego High School teacher Pam Phelps has been nominated for the prestigious Illinois Teacher of the Year Award.

This marks the second year in a row that an educator from School District 308 has been nominated for the award. Phelps has taught science at OHS since 1997 and is one of 10 finalists

statewide.

“We want to congratulate Pam for all of her hard work and dedication,” Superintendent Dr. Matthew Wendt said.

“I am proud to see School District 308 Pam Phelps teachers receive this type of deserved state recognition. The fact

that two of our teachers have been finalists in consecutive years speaks volumes about the quality of our teachers and the reputation of School District 308.”

Phelps has a master’s degree in biology from Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, and a master’s degree in secondary teaching from Aurora University, in Aurora.

“I am honored to be a finalist for ISBE Teacher of the Year,” she said. “I feel that the recognition is a reflection on every person who has helped me become the educator and person I am today, including the students I have taught and their families, my friends and family members, my former teachers and my coworkers.”

Oswego Principal Mi-

chael Wayne said that Phelps embodies everything it takes to be a great teacher.

“She challenges each and every one of her students to be the absolute best student possible, and does so in such a caring and nurturing manner that her students rise to her lofty standards in part because they do not want to disappoint her,” he said. “Over the

course of her career, Pam has made an immeasurable difference in the lives of her students, school, community and the profession of education.”

The winner of the award will be announced at the Those Who Excel Banquet on Oct. 17 in Normal.

Southbury Elementary School teacher Heather Kraus was a finalist for the award last year.

Kendall drug court grant held up by Illinois fiscal stalemate

Kendall County sheriff’s deputies carrying Narcan

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com Kendall County sheriff’s deputies are now carrying a substance to help individuals who overdose on opioids such as heroin, thanks to an anonymous donation from a local health care provider.

County deputies recently received training to administer intranasal naloxone, commonly known as Narcan.

Health officials say the drug helps reverse the effects of opioids such as heroin, methadone and oxycodone. It is used by paramedics in cases of drug overdoses. Administering Narcan quickly will allow time for medical personnel to arrive and provide treatment to the person, according to the sheriff’s office.

“I feel that it’s important to equip the deputies with some lifesaving options for these overdose situations,” Kendall County Sheriff Dwight Baird said this week. “I just think it is good public safety practice.”

He explained that deputies are sometimes first on the scene of an overdose before medical personal and paramedics arrive.

According to the sheriff’s office, the training was conducted at the Kendall County Public Safety Center by a local health care provider with a long-standing relationship with the community and the sheriff’s office.

The health care provider also donated 60 nasal spray doses of Narcan.

The training consisted of a review of opioid use and overdose trends, signs and

symptoms of opioid overdose and withdrawal, and a demonstration on how to administer intranasal naloxone.

“Training has been in place and the patrol deputies out on the street will have Narcan with them,” Baird said.

Law enforcement officials say heroin use has increased in Kendall County over the last 10 years as part of a broader trend of use in Chicago and its suburbs.

A string of three deaths from suspected heroin overdoses in as many days occurred in May. The deaths occurred in three different municipalities in Kendall County on May 22-24 in Yorkville, Montgomery and an unincorporated area of Kendall County near Boulder Hill.

The Kendall County State’s Attorney’s Office is slated to receive a grant of nearly $150,000 from the state’s Adult Redeploy Illinois program to establish and pay for the operation of a drug court to serve the county’s 23rd Judicial Circuit.

However, the funding is contingent upon an appropriation from the state of Illinois for fiscal 2016, County State’s Attorney Eric Weis told the County Board last week.

The state’s fiscal year began July 1, but state lawmakers and Gov. Bruce Rauner remain locked in a dispute over the budget.

“It sounds great except there is no funding for it yet because there is no [state] budget,” Weis said. “What we end up getting, I don’t know that’s what they tell us.”

The grant is expected

to run from Oct. 1 through June 30 and is a joint effort of the state’s attorney’s office, public defender’s office, court services, sheriff’s office and the judiciary.

The goal of drug court is to reduce the number of nonviolent offenders who are sent to prison, Weis said, and to assist those who are addicted to drugs in leading a law-abiding lifestyle. Officials hope this grant funding will help to reduce the substantial cost for each person incarcerated in the state prison system.

Weis said the grant would help pay for a drug court coordinator, which coordinates the entire project and handles the day-to-day operations. It also covers some cost for counseling and drug testing. The funding will continue to come from the ARI program each year as long as the court justifies a reduction in the number of inmates they send to the Department of Corrections, according to Weis.

Board member Bob Davidson questioned if the county could potentially be left with a program without funding.

“Obviously if they can not incarcerate X amount of people, the money they spend for us is obviously significantly less than what they would spend to incarcerate the individual,” Weis said. “We have to meet that requirement every year and if at the end of it there isn’t funding, then the program would cease to exist.”

Members of an exploratory committee for a Kendall County Drug Court had submitted a request for ARI funding earlier this year in the hope of establishing a drug court for Kendall County. The committee worked over two years to review data, determine the need for a drug court, and began to develop criteria for those that would be accepted to the program, according to information from Weis’ office.

Montgomery Mayor on the Move Sept. 12 Montgomery Village President Matt Brolley will host a “Mayor on the Move” gathering from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept.

12, at the water treatment plant at the corner of Gordon Road and Fairfield Way. Tours of the water treatment plant and the base of the water tower will be provided. Coffee and light

refreshments will be available.

Residents are invited to drop by to meet the village pres- Matt Brolley ident on an informal basis and discuss items of concern with him.

Everyone is encouraged to bring their comments,

questions and ideas to the session.

“As village president, I enjoy visiting with residents and hearing what issues are important to them,” Brolley explained.

“I also hope to tap into some of the great ideas people may have for improving life in Montgomery.”

OUR VIEW

Police station tour should provide answers The Oswego Police Department is inviting village residents to tour its police station at 3525 U.S. Route 34 between 9 a.m. and noon Saturday, Sept. 26. Police have scheduled the tour in an effort to help village residents understand why the department and the village board are now actively studying the construction of a new station on a new site.

We hope that village residents – especially those with concerns and questions – will take the time on Sept. 26 to stop by the station so they can see the department’s need for a new, larger facility first-hand.

Those that do take the tour will see

a station built in 1991 on a land-locked site. Inside, they’ll find a police department with 69 employees working out of a building designed to accommodate a maximum of 50 employees. Outside the station, they’ll see the site has absolutely no room for either the construction of an addition to the building or an expansion of the parking lot.

The tour should also provide police and village officials with an opportunity to explain to residents why they are not considering maintaining the current station and constructing a second satellite station, or locating some of the police department’s functions in unused office

space at Village Hall.

Back in the late 1980s, village officials thought they were getting a real bargain for local taxpayers when they chose to construct the station on a 3.5-acre parcel which the state of Illinois had deeded to the village at no charge. At that time, village limits extended only as far east as Boulder Hill Pass and the property that became the station site was surrounded by farm fields.

At the direction of village officials, architects designed the new station to accommodate a police department with 50 employees – an unfathomable number at that time since fewer than 4,000 people

were living in the village and the police department had about a dozen employees.

But the unprecedented homebuilding boom that started in the mid-1990s served to swell the village’s population to more than 33,000. That growth required many more police officers and soon rendered the station obsolete.

It’s important that Oswego residents understand the village’s need for a new police station, so we encourage them to tour the current station next month. It’s even more important that today’s village officials make sure the village’s next police station is built on a site with plenty of space for future expansion.

Watch for that full harvest moon Sept. 27 As near as we can tell here in beautiful downtown Troy, it seems to be getting along towards fall.

Some leaves are falling already, especially leaves from the black walnuts and what few butternuts have survived the blight. The last to get their leaves in the spring, walnuts and butternuts are also the first to lose them in the fall.

Other leaves are turning color, with poison ivy starting towards its deep red tint and some maples already beginning to exchange their deep summer greens for lighter, early fall greens that will turn to scarlets and oranges.

Another color change has been the appearance of bright yellow school buses on county roads, hauling the kids back to class for another year of noses at grindstones and shoulders at wheels.

Here at Reflections Central, though, we’ve no crops to harvest, no tests to take, and no leaves to rake. All we have to do is open the stacks of junk mail that arrive faithfully.

And so with no further ado, here are some things I never would have found out (or even cared about) if I hadn’t opened that pile of junk mail each and every day the mail carrier showed up out front: The full moon closest to the fall equinox is called the harvest moon, so named because it rises within a half-hour of when the sun sets. For thousands of years, farmers have worked by the light of the harvest moon to bring in their fall crops.

This year, the full harvest moon will rise on

FORUM Freedom costs a lot

To the Editor: Nothing in life comes without cost – even freedom. Throughout our history, freedom has cost a lot. There are millions and millions of individual stories about the cost of freedom.

Freedom could cost as little as some discomfort or inconvenience, or it could cost as much as your life.

The protectors of our freedom, our military and law enforcement combined, represent less than one percent of our population. We have 310 million Americans sitting at the table of freedom and less than one percent of them are willing to pick up the tab.

For reasons I will never understand, there are people in this world who want to take other people’s stuff.

They want to exercise control over other people. They want to hurt other people. They want to kill other people.

Evil people exist. Ignoring them or wishing that they don’t exist are not enough to stop them from doing what they want to do. Unfortunately, the only way to stop them is by physically going toe to toe and face to face with them. Sometimes they’re here. Sometimes we have to go to distant lands and stop them from doing what they want to do to other people so that they won’t come here and do it to us.

There are a lot of Americans who don’t think it’s necessary for us to go to other places and stop evil people from doing what they want to other people. They think it’s their problem. It doesn’t affect us. Well, on Sept. 11, 14 years ago, 3,000 people went to work without a care in the world outside

of their own busy lives, and that’s the last time we saw them. Evil people came here and did what they wanted because we ignored them and didn’t stop them from doing it to other people in other places.

Freedom costs a lot. It can cost as much as your life. I’m sure that everyone realizes when you die, you no longer have a favorite color. You no longer have that favorite meal your mom makes for you. You no longer have a dream car, or a dream job or a dream home. When you die, you no longer have the ability to see or talk to or touch people you love.

When you die, you’re gone forever.

It’s not like a video game where you’re forced to go to a lower level or start over. There are no second chances when you die. It’s easy to see that the risk is very high for anyone who steps up and goes toe to toe with evil people. This is the risk that every single protector of our freedom takes every single day.

Tomorrow is a day of remembrance.

We should all certainly take time to remember those who were lost 14 years ago. Let’s also take a moment to remember and thank those who are holding the line today.

cycles, automobiles – have I missed any? But not three-and four-wheel motorized carts and snowmobiles.

Why? These vehicles help in agriculture and business and snowmobiles can navigate in winter weather more safely than other vehicles.

Various communities are providing up to 10-foot-wide paved bicycle paths costing millions of dollars of gasoline tax and other state funds for, apparently, the exclusive use of bicycle riders. Golf carts are banned.

Who else can use the paths, or must they use the highway? We have here the right accorded bicycle riders to use roads, but road users must not use bicycle paths. Eight-year-old bicyclists going 10 miles an hour can force traffic to stop for oncoming vehicles on narrow 8-foot and 10-foot-wide two-lane roads but a golf cart carrying

young families or the elderly or the less mobile is verboten on either roads or bicycle paths?

Instead of favoring a healthy, relatively affluent and vocal minority of bicycle zealots, public policy should also be concerned with the transportation and recreational needs of parents, the elderly and the handicapped. This means requiring use of bike paths instead of the roads or roadsides for horses, pedestrians, motorized slow vehicles, wheelchairs, etc. Let bicyclists experience what automobile drivers encounter when coming upon groups of cyclists blocking the road.

Finally, each community should tailor their rules to local conditions – let’s avoid one-size-fits-all state/federal laws like those for speed limits.

To the Editor: As the summer comes to an end, let me invite you to attend fall worship at the Christian church of your choice and enroll your children in a Sunday School/Christian education and teen confirmation program.

Most mainline churches are not into indoctrination but seek to help people believe in God, serve others, learn how to think, and develop good moral values that will be used through all of life. Our children are asking serious questions about many major issues.

All of them are looking for answers to… What is right? What is love? What do I owe others? What do others owe me? How can faith and believing in God make a difference?

While I love and support competitive fall football and cheerleading, band programs and am just learning about soccer from my Indiana grandchildren, I don’t think you will find a better source for helping your child create a solid foundation for living as we seek to discover valuable answers grounded in God’s love.

Let me suggest placing a life-shaping event in your family’s weekly schedule. Invest in attending worship and enroll your children in Sunday School/Christian education, Confirmation program or youth group. It will pay dividends in this live and the one to come. You are probably going to meet some really interesting people, too.

Hiring people with disabilities topic for forum

By MATT SCHURY mschury@shawmedia.com Hiring people with disabilities was the topic of a recent panel discussion led by U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, and U.S. Deputy Secretary of Labor Chris Lu at the offices of the Fox Metro Water Reclamation District near Montgomery.

A large group of area business leaders, employers and local state representatives participated in the discussion Wednesday, Aug. 26.

Foster said his office reached out to local employers and advocacy groups who support disabled workers to inform them about how they can help such workers, who all too often go unnoticed.

“This is an issue that doesn’t get as much attention as it deserves,” Foster said, adding, “Employing the disabled isn’t an act of charity, it benefits all of us.”

He explained that employing the disabled allows employers to be eligible for tax breaks including a tax credit of up to $2,400.

Foster said there are also tax credits available to make workplaces compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, including a $10,000 tax credit to small businesses and a deduction of up to $15,000 for employers of any size for the removal of architecture and transportation barriers to persons with disabilities.

Foster and Lu pointed out that it has been 25 years since President George H.W. Bush signed the ADA into law.

Lu said despite the physical improvements to help the disabled get around that have been accomplished under ADA, many people with disabilities still struggle to find work.

“While we are right to congratulate ourselves about curb cuts and push button doors, the harsh reality right now is that the labor force participation of people with disabilities is only 20 percent, compared to 70 percent for the general population,” he said.

The Department of Labor, Lu added, strongly believes that employment first is the right approach to serving people with disabilities. He said employers need to give every opportunity to integrate people with disabilities into traditional workplaces.

“America is in a global competition right now and in this competition we need to field a full team, we can’t afford to leave anyone on the sidelines,” Lu said.

About 50 people packed into the administration building at Fox Metro for the discussion.

Tom Muth, district manager for Fox Metro, introduced Foster and Lu. He said that employing the disabled is a priority at the district.

“We are the stewards of the environment and we strive to be

Bill Foster (right) confers with U.S. Deputy Secretary of Labor Chris Lu during a forum on hiring people with disabled held recently at the Fox Metro Water Reclamation District plant near Montgomery. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act by President George H.W. Bush. an equal rights employer,” Muth said.

The panel members cleared up some of the misconceptions about hiring the disabled and talked about tax incentives as well as resources for employers who hire the disabled. The speakers also discussed how employers can find qualified employees.

Ken Skord, director of AbilityLinks, a website that helps people with disabilities find jobs, said many times tax dollars and insurance dollars are spent to help peo-

ple recover from disabilities.

“This is a way for you as an employer to be proactive to find qualified candidates with disabilities,” he said. “You can’t ask about disability but people with disabilities can volunteer to disclose.”

He added that people who post their resumes on AbilityLinks self-identify their disability.

Janice Duvall, a referral counselor at AbilityLinks, shared her own story of being born with a rare heredity eye condition that limits her vision.

“I’m here to put a face on an individual who has a disability in the workplace,” she said.

Duvall said that she grew up and went through school without any tools to help her with her disability.

“I was an individual with a disability that had sight, I was considered low vision,” she said.

She recalled the technique she used to see the blackboard in elementary school.

“If I had to see the blackboard I just pushed my little desk up to the blackboard, put my nose about three inches from the blackboard and read it,” she said. “There was no other avenue for me.”

She added that that was what life was like for a student with a disability up until the 1990s.

Duvall said that she now has assistance from technology that helps her do her job.

“What a difference and what a game changer technology has made,” she said. “I use a piece of software that uses zoom text that magnifies the screen and I also use a video magnifier.”

Employers should be open to the possibility of disabled workers getting assistance through technology, she added.

“All I ask is that you be open-minded to what assisted technology can do,” she said. “Companies are wise to hire individuals with disabilities to keep them working and off the tax rolls.”

Kendall County Park board honors Cheryl Keilson death attributed to West Nile virus

By LYLE R. ROLFE

news@kendallcountynow.com

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com A resident of Kendall County has died after contracting West Nile virus, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health.

The Kendall County Health Department reported that a man in his 70s died after becoming ill at the end of July. The man’s name is not being released, and health department officials from the state and county couldn’t say where the man was from in Kendall County.

“I know that it was an elderly gentleman,” said Dr. Amaal Tokars, executive director of the Kendall County Health Department.

IDPH reported that the case from Kendall County was the first of two deaths in Illinois. An elderly Cook County resident also died of the virus at the end of August.

West Nile virus is transmitted through the bite of a mosquito that has picked up the virus by feeding on an infected bird, according to the state agency. Common symptoms include fever, nausea, headache and muscle aches. Symptoms may last from a few days to a few weeks. However, four out of five people infected with West Nile virus will not show any symptoms. In rare cases, severe illness including meningitis or encephali-

tis, or even death, can occur.

People older than 50 and those with compromised immune systems are at higher risk for severe illness from West Nile virus.

Tokars noted that the recent dry hot weather at the beginning of September was the perfect breeding ground for the mosquitoes.

“This is that time of year where they have had some time to breed and they’re not the necessarily the hard biting mosquitoes that remind people – they’re the ones that you don’t notice as much that they’ve bitten you,” Tokars added.

Last year there were 44 human cases, including four deaths. Cases in humans are underreported, according to the IDPH. Tokars noted that this is the first death that she could remember from West Nile in Kendall County.

“If you don’t need to be out at dusk when mosquitoes are biting a lot, try not to be,” she said, adding that people should use bug spray or clothing with long sleeves and pants to prevent bites.

She also recommended getting rid of standing water. If people have other conditions or their health is frail, that could put them at greater risk for complications from the virus.

“West Nile is truly real and we’re sad to know about this death,” she said.

The Oswegoland Park District Board recently honored Cheryl Keilson, superintendent of the district’s early childhood, Kid’s Connection and preschool programs, for her 20 years of service to the district.

Board President Dave Krahn presented Keilson with a plaque which read, “The Oswegoland Park District Board of Commissioners with sincere appreciation congratulates Cheryl Keilson on her 20 years of service in the Oswegoland community for her vision, commitment and dedication. In recognition of her 20 years of service, a brick paver engraved with her name and years of service will be installed on the brick paver walk in Hudson Crossing Park.”

When she came to Oswego in 1995, she was looking for a teaching position in the Oswego School District, so she began working as a substitute teacher.

Her first full-time job was site supervisor of Kid’s Connection at East View Elementary School.

“When I saw a site supervisor position posted, I thought, ‘Wow that would be a great complement to my subbing.’

I was responsible for the overall operation of staff and programming at East View before and after school and a preschool teacher for the district.

“I did that for a little over two years when I found out the Kid’s Connection coordinator position was going to be available, so I applied. And here I am

“I believe in longevity at my jobs, but I must admit the 20 years flies by when you enjoy what you do.”

Cheryl Keilson

Superintendent of early childhood programs, Oswegoland Park District 20 years later,” she said.

“When I started, Oswego had just over 8,000 people. We only had two Kid’s Connection sites, three preschool classrooms and a few early childhood optional programs. Since then the program has grown with the population and today we have 10 preschool classrooms, 11 Kid’s Connection locations and more than 40 early childhood optional program options.

“It takes many talented staff members and contractors to provide these various programs,” Keilson said.

She has worked with children during her entire career, noting that kids change with the times.

“But one thing that never changes is a child’s desire to be heard and learn through exploration,” she said.

And she knows this not just from teaching but from her personal life, having raised three grown sons who utilized many park district programs including the As We Grow Preschool and Kid’s Connection.

When asked about her duties, she said each program is a special entity.

Keilson said her favorite part of

the job is the people she works with, whether it’s the children, staff members or parents.

“Whether I am mentoring a staff member, playing blocks with a child or helping a patron make a decision on which program fits their need, I enjoy them all. I truthfully do not have anything I dislike,” she said.

Her first office was at the Civic Center. It was then moved to Kid’s Place, a leased building in Stone Hill Industrial Park and is now located at South Point, in the Southbury subdivision.

After spending all day chasing after what parents affectionately refer to as “rug rats,” one might think Keilson would love to curl up with a good book. But she prefers to take a long walk, which she said relaxes her.

“I also love to decorate. When I retire I would love to be an interior decorator and travel to Italy some day.”

She offered a bit of advice for someone planning to work with kids as a career – they must love people and be available to provide excellent customer service.

“I believe in longevity at my jobs, but I must admit the 20 years flies by when you enjoy what you do,” she said.

This is not hard to believe because Keilson is always wearing a smile, an infectious quality that rubs off on those around her.

“I’ve always wanted to teach, but if you look at it I am mentoring various age groups. If I was starting over again, I’d so the same thing again,” she said.

10 years ago this month Oswegoland Park District officials announced that construction was nearing completion on a walking bridge spanning the Fox River just north of Oswego.

The bridge linked Violet Patch Park on the east bank of the river with Marina Wood Park on the west bank.

Montgomery Village Board members were not interested in amending a municipal ordinance to allow village residents to discharge firearms in their basements. In July, a resident on Crown Drive told the board he had been reloading rounds and practicing shooting air rifles and .22 caliber pistols in the basement of his home before going to an outdoor Yorkville-area shooting range. The resident asked the board to consider revising its ordinance dealing with the discharge of firearms to allow him to continue to practice in his basement. But the board’s economic development committee agreed unanimously not to revise the ordinance, citing environmental, health and public safety concerns.

15 years ago this month The Illinois Department of Transportation announced it would award a contract in November for the construction of a 1.7-mile extension of the Fox River Trail adjoining Ill. Route 25 from Montgomery south to Second Street in Oswego. Opponents of the project charged that clearing the shoreline for the trail would lead to algae blooms and fish kills in the river.

Members of Kendall County’s Metra Committee selected an engineering firm to conduct a study to determine if it would be feasible to extend Metra commuter rail service to municipalities in the county. Serving on the committee were representatives from the villages of Montgomery and Oswego.

The site was previously owned by the Illinois Department of Transportation and served as a highway rest area with pit toilets and picnic tables.

Assessments on most Kendall County properties increased an average of 13.25 percent from the previous year, upsetting many property owners.

What proved to be the final Boulder Hill “HillFest“ community celebration was held near Boulder Hill Market in the unincorporated subdivision. (The annual event was canceled after its sponsor, the Boulder Hill Civic Association, disbanded.)

35 years ago this month Yorkville High School teacher Dennis Hastert, 38, was slated by area Republican Party leaders as a candidate for state representative in the November election. Hastert, a graduate of Oswego High School, was picked to replace State Rep. Al Schoeberlein, who withdrew his candidacy due to health reasons. Hastert had run an unsuccessful campaign to unseat Schoeberlein in the March Republican primary.

40 years ago this month Architects for the Oswego

School District announced they were ready to seek bids for the district’s second junior high school building planned off Boulder Hill Pass in Oswego.

In the midst of a nationwide citizens’ band (CB) radio craze, the Kendall County Sheriff’s Department was investigating the theft of several of the devices from vehicles throughout the county.

45 years ago this month Oswego’s potential for growth was a concern for Betty Grimshaw, the Ledger’s village reporter. In an editorial, Grimshaw urged the Ledger’s readers to consider what impact the village’s growth would have on the community. Grimshaw wrote: “We are faced with all the opportunities of the small town about to blossom into a big one.

We are also faced with making as many mistakes as hundreds of towns before us.” At the time, the village’s population was just over 1,800, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

50 years ago this month The Montgomery Village Board approved minutes from two meetings they conducted in August. Those minutes show the board authorized a building permit for a 12-unit apartment

building in the Parkview Estates subdivision; increased the fee for turning on municipal water from $1 to $5; and approved the appointment of Dan Smith as police chief, Bill Currey as water superintendent and Leo Edwards as street superintendent.

The Ledger reported the Oswego Plan Commission held its 100th meeting at village hall. During the meeting, the commission endorsed plans for the first section of the Windcrest subdivision proposed for development along the north side of U.S. Route 34 east of Ill. Route 25.

55 years ago this month Oswego School Superintendent T. Lloyd Traughber announced that 359 students were registered for classes at

60 years ago this month “School Enrollment Is Up by 90” was the page one headline in the Thursday, Sept. 8, 1955, edition of the Ledger. The enrollment increase was the largest yet experienced in one year by Oswego’s schools, according to the report. The schools’ total enrollment for the start of the 1955-56 school year was 775.

Members of the Oswego High School football team attended the Quarterback Club dinner at the Leland Hotel in downtown Aurora. Featured speaker at the event was George Connor, captain of the Chicago Bears and a former All-American tackle at Notre Dame.

70 years ago this month During a special meeting Sept.

20, the Montgomery Village Board voted to hire the Chicago Bridge and Iron Company to complete repairs to the municipal water tank. During a meeting Sept. 4, the village board also adopted the village’s annual property tax levy. The levy called for the village to receive a total of $4,590 in property taxes. From that total amount, the levy called for a total of $470 to be directed to the police department to cover the cost of “one regular police” at $350, “extra police” at $60, $30 for a dog catcher, and $30 in additional

125 years ago this month “David Hall has turned his cider mill into a wine press and doing quite a business in squeezing out the grape,” the Record’s correspondent reported on Sept. 7, 1890, adding, “Some householders, particularly widow women, are complaining that the boys are stealing their grapes.”

Oswego was looking for a teacher on Sept. 24. According to the Record’s Oswego correspondent: “Prof. L.S. Rose has resigned the principalship of the school here because he can do better elsewhere. He will furnish a substitute until another teacher can be had.”

130 years ago this month “Mrs. Helle, as usual, has cultivated a very nice flower garden and is giving away beautiful bouquets,” the Record reported from Oswego on Sept. 2, 1880.

“The Andrew Gray ladies and a number of others in town also have handsome flower gardens.”

School District 308 ranks high on best teachers list LEDGER-SENTINEL School District 308’s teachers are among the best in the region, according to Niche.com’s 2015 list of public school districts with the best teachers.

District 308’s educators ranked in the top 50 on the list of 100 districts in the Chicago metropolitan

area with the best teachers. Superintendent Dr. Matthew Wendt said he is pleased the district is receiving regional and national attention for the quality of its educators.

“As we begin a new school year, there are so many positive things happening in School District 308,” said Wendt. “This list brings our district, in particular our educa-

tors, much deserved regional attention for their hard work. We are making great strides toward worldclass in School District 308.”

School District 308 educators ranked 44th on the list of districts in the Chicago suburbs with the best teachers. According to Niche, a high ranking indicates three things: 1. Students are very happy

with the level of instruction they receive, and educational outcomes reflect the quality of instruction. 2.

The district is invested in its teachers and provides a good level for teaching and learning. 3. Teachers are invested in the schools and students, and work to ensure the best outcomes for students.

The rankings are compiled and

published by Niche, a nationwide organization focused on providing students, families, and professionals with content and insight for making major life decisions.

Last January, School District 308 and Oswego East High School ranked among the best places in the state and Chicago metropolitan area to receive an education.

Oswego HS student makes school supply donation to district Oswego High School junior Kylie Schimmel has donated about $4,300 to local charities during the last three years through her bow-making business, and School District 308 is the most recent benefactor of her generosity.

Schimmel m a d e h e r Kylie bows at the Schimmel recent Oswego Beats and Eats festival on July 25, and used the proceeds to purchase about $150 in school supplies for district students from families who cannot afford the supplies. Her business, Kylie’s Creations, donates all proceeds to charities.

“I always pick a different charity, depending on which craft show I’m in,” Schimmel said.

Valerie Patterson, executive director of district student services, said she was inspired by Kylie’s commit-

With time winding down, Oswego put together a 15-play drive with strong runs from KK Thompson and Perillo capped off by a 6-yard touchdown run by Avalos to tie the score at 14. With 10 seconds left on the clock, Yorkville found a hole in a tired Panthers defense and broke a long run to win the game. Oswego’s defense was led by contributions from Ryan Chivari, Joey Niesman, Javy Magana and Lucas Ingram.

Oswego opened the second half with a 50-yard TD run by Kyle Morrissey. After an interception by Andres Castillo, the Panthers’ Antonio Hughes got a 6-yard TD to make it 18-0 at the end of the third. The final quarter started with an interception by Alex Praxmarer to give the ball back to the Panther offense, and a 25yard pass from Joey DeMarco to Jacob Garlick set up Praxmarer on his first TD as a Panther. The defense had a solid game, led by the Burdo twins, Peyton Heckman, Alex Praxmarer and Andres Castillo.

Panthers notch win vs. Foxes

By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com Entering the Sept. 3 nonconference dual between the Oswego and Yorkville girls tennis teams, both the Panthers and Foxes were on a bit of a losing streak.

The Panthers (1-3) finally broke that streak, edging out the Foxes, 4-3. Yorkville is now 2-3 overall.

Oswego had previously lost to Rosary and Waubonsie Valley and did not get its first individual win of the season until its match against Batavia on Aug. 31 (a 6-1 loss, with the lone win from Kelsey Snodgrass and Kamishka Moodley at No. 1 doubles).

“We are in the same boat [as Yorkville], so I thought we had a good chance,” Oswego head coach Ryan Parr said. “We’ve played well, but we could have played better.”

Yorkville won its first two duals against Plainfield East and Romeoville but then fell to Sterling (3-2) and Plainfield Central (5-2).

Against Yorkville, Oswego’s doubles teams carried the wins, as all four posted victories. Snodgrass and Moodley defeated Dakota Kinsella and Sam Keane, 6-3, 7-6 (7-5 tiebreaker).

At No. 2 doubles, Oswego’s Madison Iser and Mackenzie Smith beat Ashley Monroy and Gabi Ornalas, 6-3, 6-4. At No. 3, Lauren Gotchie and Emily Liskunas topped Yorkville’s Anna Halsey and Cami Xoxakos, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4.

Anna Bruzdzinski and Alex DeNeve at Oswego’s No. 4 doubles defeated Richa Patel and Michelle Zubeck, 6-3, 6-0.

Yorkville swept in singles action and saw Bri Pickering improve to 5-0 and Bella Perez go 4-1. Perez won at No. 1 singles over Annie Livingston, 6-3, 6-0, while Pickering defeated Hannah Castillo at No. 2, 7-6 (7-1 tiebreaker), 6-1. Both also posted wins for the Foxes against Sterling and Plainfield Central.

At No. 3 singles, Yorkville’s Kelly Garner topped Malia Leifheit, 6-2, 7-5.

In the next week, Oswego will begin Southwest Prairie Conference action against Plainfield Central and Plainfield South while Yorkville will face Rochelle, Minooka and DeKalb.

PREP VOLLEYBALL RECAP

Wolves ready for next challenge

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com A challenging nonconference schedule has certainly tested the Oswego East girls volleyball team heading into the opening week of Southwest Prairie Conference action.

The Wolves (2-7) open league play this week with co-conference defending champs Plainfield North and Plainfield Central to kick off a six-game stretch of SPC matches.

“They’re trying to defend their conference championship; they’re supposed to win. They have more pressure than us, and it’s at their place,” Oswego East head coach Adam Thurlwell said.

“It’s easier to win at home against a team that you’re supposed to beat, so to speak. We just need to stay focused and competitive and we might be able to walk away with good things there.

Their record doesn’t show it, but I think they’ve progressed quite a bit and we’re seeing what their strengths are and identifying our weaknesses. I think they can be competitive.”

Oswego East hosted West Aurora on Sept. 2 and lost in straight sets to the Blackhawks, 15-25, 1725. Senior Katelynn Kuehl had five kills, an ace and six digs while

Oswego East senior Katelynn Kuehl gets ready to dig up the ball against West Aurora during a Sept. 1 nonconference game against the Blackhawks. junior Meghan Delaney had four kills and six digs. Junior Katie Ayers had 16 assists and a block.

Last Thursday, the Wolves faced Bolingbrook and were swept 21-25, 14-25. Junior Sarah Schul-

tz had eight kills and eight digs, while Delaney had eight kills, two aces and six digs. Kuehl made seven kills and Ayers finished with 20 assists.

“We were challenged with

those two teams,” Thurlwell said.

“That’s why we play the nonconference – to hopefully make a nice run in conference and put some W’s on the board and look good for seeding time.”

PREP GOLF RECAP

Oswego, Oswego East win early league matches

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com Both the Oswego and Oswego East boys golf teams are finding success as the Southwest Prairie Conference season gets underway.

Oswego earned its first win of the season on Sept.

2, defeating Plainfield Central, 162-165, in a close match at Mistwood Golf Course.

The Panthers are now 1-1 in Southwest Prairie Conference action and 1-2 overall. Senior Matt Compton led the Panthers with a 38 while junior Craig Schlegel and senior Andrew Hiller both carded 41s and senior Reilly Gil-

lette scored a 42 to help seal the win.

“We played at Mistwood, which – outside of Heritage Bluff – is the toughest course in the league. It’s extremely tight, tough greens. You can’t spray the ball around at all and we walked away with a 162,” Oswego head coach Chad Pohlmann said. “We’ve played really well and we’ve really competed. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the guys and their approach and work ethic. It’s been good.”

Oswego East also won its SPC opener over Plainfield North, 154-161, on Sept. 2.

Senior Max Behnke was a co-medalist with Tigers’

Pat Butler at 37 with an eagle on 18. Senior Adam Densberger shot a 38 while sophomore Sam Behnke (39) and senior Keegan Schropp (40) rounded out the team score.

The Wolves (1-1, 1-0 SPC) will travel to Wedgewood to face Plainfield South on Friday before entering the Batavia Invite at the Fox Valley Golf Club on Saturday.

The Panthers will play just one match this week against Plainfield South before a busy stretch next week pits Oswego against Plainfield North, Oswego East and the Lincoln-Way East Green Wedge Challenge on Sept. 19.

“The next three match-

es are really going to determine where we fall in the conference,” Pohlmann said. “If we can beat those three teams, that puts us in pretty good position going into the conference tournament with Romeoville and Plainfield East left on the schedule. You still have to take it one shot at a time and we have to take care of business against Plainfield South, and hopefully we can come back and be ready for Plainfield North.”

GIRLS GOLF

The Oswego co-op girls golf team improved to 3-0 in Southwest Prairie Conference action after a 208212 win over Plainfield

North in its first home meet of the season Sept. 3 at Fox Bend.

Oswego East sophomore Kiana Krahulik led the team with a 45 while junior Emily Staples (51), junior Autumn Sullivan (51), sophomore Lindsey Jones (61) and freshman Hanna Raza (61) were top scorers.

On Aug. 27, the team won a close match over Plainfield South, 211-220, as Krahulik shot a 48 to lead Oswego.

Oswego also defeated Plainfield Central at Wedgewood, 215-228, on Sept. 1. Krahulik carded a team-best 48.

Oswego will face Yorkville at 4 p.m. Friday at Blackberry Oaks.

Oswego East will now prepare for the Southwest Prairie Conference opener at Plainfield North at 7 p.m.

Friday.

The Tigers enter the game with a 1-1 record after falling to 17-14 to Bishop McNamara on Sept. 4.

“Plainfield North is very aggressive defensively and they have some pretty talented kids, so we have to make sure that we are able to match their aggressiveness,” LeBlanc said. “Offensively, they do a bunch of different things and create some matchup problems.

Their ability to go from a double tight T formation, power run formation to a spread formation without changing their personnel, those are things that give their opponents trouble. It’s conference time and we’re hoping to raise our level of play another notch.”

Joliet Steelman Invite is next for Oswego runners • CROSS COUNTRY

Continued from page 16 “We used this one as an opportunity to work on some team building and team running and they spent the first two miles racing and communicating together,” Whipple said.

“The last mile they were allowed to go to see how close they could stay together. It wasn’t quite as tight in the last mile as it should be, but they did a good job and improved a lot with their communication.”

Marmion won the invite with 85 points, followed by Downers Grove North (90) and St. Charles East (101)

in the top three. Oswego placed seventh in the 13team field at 162.

O s w e g o j u n i o r B e nnett Peterson placed 10th overall in 16:02 while senior Owen Kelty was 28th in 16:19 and junior Collin Boone clocked in at 16:26 to take 36th.

Sophomore Mitch Bradford (16:33) finished 40th, senior Jackson Simon (16:41) was 48th and junior David Gaytan (16:43) placed 51st.

Oswego will now enter the annual Joliet Steelman Invite on Saturday at Channahon Community Park.

Friday night was Panthers’ first win over Providence • FOOTBALL

Continued from page 16 downs with 1:20 left. Frank took a knee on the next possession, sealing the Oswego victory.

“This win is huge for our program,” said Oswego defensive end Brennan Burdo. “We’ve never beaten Providence before. Last week was a wake-up call and we wanted to win this one going into conference.”

Oswego scored on its first possession of the game on Frank’s 7-yard quarterback keeper.

With 3:32 remaining in the first quarter, Kowalkowski kicked his first of two field goals – this one from 32 yards – to put the Celtics on the scoreboard, 7-3. Derek Bresingham’s interception set up Kowalkowski’s 41-yarder early in the second quarter.

Oswego fumbled the ball just inside the Providence goal line and recovered the

ball in the end zone for its second touchdown of the game with 57 seconds to play in the first half, giving Oswego a 14-6 lead.

“It was a sloppy game, especially on our side,” Providence head coach Mark Coglianese said. “We had our opportunities; we just didn’t take advantage of it. The kids played hard.

We had penalties that kept putting us in tough situations, long-yard situations and right now we’re just not good enough to overcome those tough situations.”

This was the third meeting between perennial playoff powers dating back to 1990, but this year’s meeting was a one-year contract with the Celtics.

With Joliet West and Joliet Central joining the Southwest Prairie Conference for the 2016-17 school year, the SPC schedule will start Week 1.

“We’ve never beat them,” Oswego head coach Brian Cooney said. “Provi-

dence is who they are. Historically, if you list out the top 10 teams in the state, Providence is on that list.

I want to play the best. If you’re planning to go to Week 10, this is the type of caliber you want to play.”

Oswego’s defense recorded five sacks, one pass deflection and a pair of interceptions by Willie Rodriguez and Dylan Bielawski.

Despite the defensive highlights, the Panther offense had its share of struggles with two interceptions, several dropped passes and

costly penalties.

“We were anticipating this year that we would have a good front four that could pressure, and after watching film, we were hoping we wouldn’t have to bring a fifth man or sixth man too often and we were able to get pressure with four guys, which allowed us to level off some of their horizontal threats,” Cooney said. “The kids played sound on defense. Offensively, we sputtered and shot ourselves in the foot.

We can’t afford to do that.”

The Oswego East defense highlighted the home opener against Marian Catholic with its first shutout as the Wolves improved to 2-0 with a 35-0 win on Sept. 4.

In addition to holding the Spartans scoreless, the defense also held Marian to -10 yards passing and 2 yards rushing in the game.

“Their starting quarterback got hurt in the first quarter and their second string was hurt in the middle of the second quarter.

Our defense played really well, and I’m sure that was a factor, but our defense held them to -8 yards of total offense,” Oswego East head coach Tyson LeBlanc said. “Any time you can do that from a defensive standpoint, you put yourself in a good position to win.”

Oswego East (2-0) estab-

lished a 28-0 halftime lead, as junior Tyran Bailey rushed for two touchdowns, junior Jaylon Banks had one run into the end zone and junior Devin Riley scored for the Wolves while junior Chase Bruns kicked three field goals to complete the final score.

“Offensively, we still had a few too many mistakes for my liking, but we were able to capitalize on some of the situations our defense put them in,” LeBlanc said. “Marian was a little bit better defensively than West Chicago was, a little more athletic, but I thought we probably took a slight step backwards. I think it was more the level of competition, but it’s nothing that can’t be corrected. Inexperience in our line play still shows up for us when we watch film.

The foundation of Oswego football has always been built on defense. Providence Catholic knows defense wins championships.

In a historic meeting between two highly respected programs Friday night, it was the Panthers’ defense that stood firm at Ken Pickerill Field, lifting Oswego to a 14-13 victory over Providence in a battle between two teams that had dropped their openers a week earlier.

Providence (0-2) created the one-point margin with a third-quarter touchdown drive capped by an 11-yard connection from quarterback Steve Simowitz to Mike Markasovic with 7:25 on the clock.

Both teams came up with an interception, but neither could convert the turnovers into points and Oswego (1-1) missed a field goal in the fourth quarter to build pressure into the final minutes.

Providence kicker PJ Kowalkowski’s punt pinned Oswego back to its own 2-yard line with 5:13 to go, but two personal

fouls on the Celtics allowed the Panthers to march a combined 30 yards and enter Providence territory. Facing fourth-and-3 at the Providence 41, Oswego’s Steven Frank was stopped on his quarterback sneak to turn the ball over to the Celtics with 2:56 remaining.

Providence running back Richie Warfield (11 carries, 110 yards) ran the ball three times to put the Celtics at midfield, but on fourth-and-3, Warfield was stopped by a wall of Panthers to turn the ball over on

Warming up at Leavey Invite Oswego girls 5th, boys 7th at 1st race

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com Behind a pair of top 25 individual finishes, the Oswego girls cross country team raced to a fifth-place finish at the St. Charles Leavey Invite on Saturday.

The Panthers opened the season at Leroy Oakes Forest Preserve and scored 170 points to finish behind Barrington (50), Batavia (56), York (107) and St. Charles East (148).

“It was our first one of the year and one to get the rust off,” Oswego girls head

coach Eric Simon said. “As well as we placed as a team – we felt good about finishing fifth – but it wasn’t a great race for us. That course is very challenging with the woods and if you get out slow, it’s hard to catch up.”

Oswego sophomore Grace Pagone led the Panthers to the finish line, placing 15th overall with a time of 18:51, while senior Allyson McLaughlin was 24th in 19:23. Senior Maddy Kammerer finished 34th in 19:43, senior Kayla Wooten clocked in at 20:09 to place 45th and junior Megan Choi

was 52nd in 20:32 to complete the team score. Senior Julia Manzano (20:38) and junior Jenna Yakesh (21:28) also raced for Oswego.

In the frosh/soph race, freshman Isabelle Christiansen had an impressive debut, taking runner-up honors in the race with her finish in 19:12 and the Oswego underclassmen finished first in the team standings.

The boys team took a different approach to the season opener, as head coach Dan Whipple challenged his runners to pack together for the first two miles.

A FAIR FOR FAIR LOVERS

128th Sandwich Fair now open; attractions include music, competitions, food

By PAT WALLIS news@kendallcountynow.com

W

hether it’s the fresh country air, the smiles of children, the chugging of the antique farm machinery, or the intense competition between candy-makers, fair-lovers will find them all at the 128th annual Sandwich Fair.

The fair began Wednesday, Sept. 9, and runs through Sunday, Sept. 13, on the historic, oak-shaded Sandwich Fairgrounds just west of Sandwich.

The Sandwich Fair is noted for having more exhibitors competing than any other fair in Illinois, including the State Fair.

Winning a blue ribbon, or any ribbon, under those circumstances is an accomplishment and a real thrill.

In the yellow Victorian Home Arts Building, there’s an abundance of items that include homemade baked goods, knitted and crocheted articles, quilts, hooked rugs, sewn garments, jellies and pickles entered in competition.

In the Horticulture Building, there’s an array of individual flower specimens, floral arrangements, baskets of artfully arranged vegetables, varieties of fruit, grains, and hanging planters, all entered in competition by their growers.

The Arts and Crafts Building is filled with photography in categories such as portraits and scenic, and with objects such as jewelry, wreaths, dolls, doll clothes, wooden furniture, ceramics, paintings, and scrapbooking entered by their creators.

The newest exhibitor competition is in the Collections Building, where fair visitors can see items that are 50 years or older such as glassware and tinware, milk bottles and photos, and Sandwich Fair collectibles.

There’s also competition in newer categories such as match-

$15 for adults and $5 for children ages 12 and under.

There are free shows on the Ag Land Stage, just north of the Poultry Building, with benches for audiences. Radio shows start at noon Wednesday through Friday; and a 9/11 remembrance ceremony will be conducted by veterans at 1 p.m. Friday, Sept.

11. Musical entertainment is featured afternoons, Friday through Sunday, and every evening starting at 7 p.m.

On the stage behind the Home Arts Building, there are culinary competitions, such as best chili, yeast goodies, and pork, at 11 a.m. Thursday and Friday; and at 2 and 4 p.m. Wednesday through Friday.

Also, musicians will perform on the Home Arts Stage starting at 7 p.m. Wednesday through Friday. Folding chairs provide seating for audiences.

Just walking through the commercial buildings is a goal for some individuals, where they also shop for sewing machines, lawn mowers, extension ladders, fudge, hand-crocheted dish clothes, and leather goods.

Viewing the newest farm equipment and recreational vehicles amazes young and old alike, making it worthwhile walking to the eastern side of the fairgrounds.

Plenty of folks come to the Sandwich Fair just for their annual “food fix,” enjoying every minute while eating kettle corn, elephant ears, pork chops, corn dogs, taffy apples and homemade pie at church stands.

A single-day gate admission is $9 for adults, $5 for children ages six through 12, and free for children ages five and under.

Season passes are $22 for adults and $8 for children ages six through 12.

Parking is free.

Pets are not allowed, though service dogs are permitted.

JAMES B. SCHULTZ

Born: March 11, 1971; in Evergreen Park, IL Died: Sept. 3, 2015; in Yorkville, IL On September 3, 2015, after a four year battle with leukemia, James Bernard Schultz, age 44, of Yorkville, Illinois passed away with his family at his side.

Born on March 11, 1971 in Evergreen Park, Illinois and raised in Naperville, Illinois.

Jim is survived by his parents, Bernard and Judith (nee Paha) Schultz; his wife, Kacey (nee Savoie); and daughters, Julia

and Josilyn. He is also survived by his ten siblings, Caroline (John) Sebastian, Corinne (Steve) Carrington, Anne (Bob) Strom, Kevin Schultz, Paul Schultz, Jeanne (William) Angel, Rita (Michael) Adolphson, B.J. Schultz, Brian Schultz, and Margaret (Edward) Gricius; twenty-two nieces and nephews; his mother and father-in law, Mary and Gary Savoie; and his sister-in-law, Amy Regas.

Jim was an electrician with IBEW Union Local 461.

Words cannot express the heartache we feel at the loss of our beloved Jim. A lover of the outdoors, an expert electrician, a talented athlete, a genius inventor and a generous, warm-hearted man; the light of Jim’s life was his family and

friends. Jim made everyone laugh and feel welcomed. His list of new projects and inventions from light fixtures to tree houses was never ending. Jim would even design and build his own tools to make his creations.

When describing his projects, inevitably he would say “there was probably an easier way to do this,” but then it would not have been Jim’s way. You could count on Jim for a good laugh, a loving heart, a superb work ethic, and a creative perspective.

We are saddened at the loss of our son, husband, father, brother, uncle and friend. We are inspired by Jim, and even though we will forever miss him and all the good he brought to our world, we know that heaven is a little brighter with an elec-

Do You Know Why They Died?

Alexander Teves. John Larimer. Matthew McQuinn. Jon Blunk.

You may not recognize or remember who these men are. They were among the 12 that were murdered in the movie massacre in Aurora, Colorado on July 20, 2012. But it is how they died that makes their story touching and unique. Each one of these men died protecting their girlfriends. You can’t help but think about their instinctive love and unselfish sacrifice for their loved ones.

But think about what Jesus said to His disciples. “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends” (John 15:13). While these 4 men did just that, the love of Jesus went above and beyond. Jesus died for his enemies. “Even while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

Another words, Jesus died for that movie murderer! He died for the thieves that hung on crosses beside Him! He died for the all the ones responsible for nailing Him there! He died for the immoral, ungodly, and the unholy. He died for the 4 men who died saving their loved ones! He died for you and me!

Jesus’ love is perfect. His love was the ultimate, shocking sacrifice. He died in our place.

WEIGHT

LOSS

CHALLENGE

Are you serious about losing weight? Are you suffering from poor health? Are you in pain preventing you from exercising? Are you looking for guidance from experienced physicians and therapists to help you lose weight and regain control of your health and/or your life?

Advanced Physical Medicine of Yorkville has been providing a successful weight loss program since 2003. Our knowledgeable physicians have figured out the weight loss secrets using a combination of specific medications, supplements, food, exercise, and lifestyle modifications. We have brought together the mental, physical, and chemical aspects of weight loss into one facility. Our medical doctor, chiropractic physicians, physical therapist, massage therapists, and athletic trainer all work together with the latest state of the art equipment to help each aspect of your weight loss.

Our 2 most recent graduates of our program lost over 80 pounds in 12 weeks!!

The 4 women who walked away from that Aurora, Colorado, theater will never forget that day and the men who died to save them. May we never forget why God died that day on the cruel cross! He died so we could live – Forever. But we must believe in Him and be obedient to His Word, “You are My friends if you do what I command you” (John 15:14). “He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned” (Mark 16:16). Do you believe? Can Jesus call you His friend? Have you been baptized for the forgiveness of your sins (Acts 2:38)?

Seasonal Allergies

Affecting Your Life?

Really?

Screening tests help find polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.

So, if you’re 50 or older, get screened for colorectal cancer.

Screening really does save lives!

Katie Couric, Co-Founder EIF’s National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance

1-800-CDC-INFO (1-800-232-4636) www.cdc.gov/screenforlife

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.

Take a stroll across your lawn this month Farmers scout their crops.

Vegetable growers walk their produce fields. Have you checked your lawn lately?

This time of year is a good time to find out what has been happening to the lawn, and what you might want to do yet this season to make your lawn healthier.

With all the rain we had earlier in the summer, pre-emergence products may not have lasted long enough and now you may find annual crabgrass or goose grass in the lawn. If the crabgrass is not too big, pulling it up before it sets seed is a start.

Crabgrass that has increased in size has smothered the lawn grass below, leaving an open spot 3 to 5 inches in diameter. Topdress that spot and reseed now to establish the grass before winter.

Leaving it open is an invita-

DOWN THE GARDEN PATH Richard Hentschel tion for more crabgrass, or other annual weeds, to invade that spot next spring.

Broadleaf perennial weeds, like dandelion and plantains, have sprouted from seed and are young plants ready to overwinter and show up in a bigger way next year. Broadleaf weed control in the late summer and early fall should leave you with a lawn free of dandelions next spring.

If the weeds are consistently returning or persisting in parts of the lawn, consider actions that favor the growth of the grass and not the weeds. Weeds like

knotweed, prostrate spurge and purslane can grow in compacted soils while grass cannot.

Breaking up that compaction will favor the grass and make it more competitive against these weeds. A thicker, fuller lawn shades the soil, preventing sunlight from reaching the ground, something weed seeds need to germinate. Consider raising the mower deck just one notch to leave the lawn a bit longer to create more shade.

If you feed your lawn with traditional products and you only fertilize once a year, fall is the best time. The grass roots will continue to grow well into the late fall and store that energy for next spring. Homeowners wanting to improve the soil using organic matter can apply that as a top-dressing. As the organic

This time of year also brings along the possibility of grubs in the lawn. Fortunately for us, the beetles that lay the eggs in lawn have been far fewer than in the past. Japanese beetles can feed on a wide range of plants as an adult, but will need to lay their eggs in the lawn.

Treatments are warranted if there are more than 12 grubs per square foot. The lawn will pull up and down like it was recently laid sod. Using a garden spade to assist in the removal of the grass, look for grubs to be bright white in color with a tan or brown head. They will curl up into a “C” when disturbed and are very
