Police: Man fired at officers Oswego resident’s bond set at $1M

Krista Jocke of Montgomery recently tied a blue ribbon on a tree in front of her home to show support to police officers locally and across country.

She also provided blue ribbons for more than 50 of her neighbors to display on their homes.

Montgomery residents display ribbons in honor of police

By JOHN ETHEREDGE jetheredge@shawmedia.com What started out as one Montgomery resident’s effort to show support for police officers everywhere has spread rapidly to other homes in the village’s Foxmoor and Fairfield Way subdivisions.

Moved by the recent deaths of a Fox Lake police officer and others across the country, Krista Jocke of Montgomery told the village board this past week she decided to hang homemade blue ribbons outside her home.

Noticing that she had some

leftover material, Jocke said she posted a notice on her subdivision’s Facebook page offering blue ribbons to her neighbors and others in her subdivision.

Jocke said she quickly received over 50 requests from residents in the two subdivisions on the village’s far west side.

As the daughter of a retired Naperville police officer, Jocke said she was thrilled by the large number of residents who asked her for ribbons to display.

Referring to herself and her neighbors, Jocke said, “We

just want everybody to know that we support our police and we want our ‘blue’ [police] families to stick together.

Once you are in a blue family, you are always in a blue family.”

Turning to Montgomery Police Chief Dan Meyers and Deputy Chief Armando Sanders, who were in attendance at the board meeting, Jocke said, “This is just to show our support and we are with you in everything you do.”

Meyers thanked Jocke on behalf of the police department.

Village President Matt

Brolley said village officials appreciate the show of support for police by Jocke and her neighbors.

“Especially in these times, it’s a pretty emotional thing to stand up and put something in front of your house that shows you support our police officers and those across the nation,” Brolley said, adding, “It’s pretty amazing.”

Jocke said she still has some material left over for blue ribbons and invited residents who would like to display ribbons at their homes to send her a private message on Facebook.

An Oswego man arrested in connection with a shooting incident in the village’s Cedar Glen subdivision fired a rifle at two village police officers, according to information released by police Sept. 18.

Police took Taylor J. Cano, 24, of the 100 block of Ashlawn Avenue in Oswego into custody Thursday after he was released from an area hospital, where he was being treated after being shot by police during the Taylor J. incident.

Cano Cano has been charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated discharge of a firearm, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and unlawful possession of a weapon by a felony in connection with the Aug. 29 incident.

Judge John McAdams set bond for Cano at $1 million during a hearing at the Kendall County Courthouse in Yorkville.

Cano’s next court appearance is scheduled for 9 a.m. Monday, Sept. 28.

Police said Cano had been staying at the Ashlawn Avenue residence a block east of Ill. Route 25 off and on since the middle of August. Police said Cano allegedly obtained the rifle at the residence.

According to police, Cano called 911 in the early morning

Continued from page 1 hours of Aug. 29 and told dispatchers that a massacre was going to occur and he was going to shoot himself in the street.

Police said Cano believed a motorcycle gang had his house surrounded and felt he was going to die that night. To attract attention to his murder, Cano planned to go to a party down the street from his residence and shoot the people at the party.

Police said they encountered Cano as he was walking toward the party.

At that point, police said, Cano turned, pointed his rifle at the officers and fired one round. The officers returned fire, striking Cano in the torso.

During their investigation, police said they learned that Cano might have shot people at the party if he had not been intercepted by the officers.

Police added in a statement, “At this point in time there is no indication that Cano knew or had any type of altercation with the individuals at the party prior to the incident.”

Assisting Oswego police in the initial response to the incident were police from the Kendall and Kane County sheriff’s offices and the Montgomery and Aurora police departments.

The Illinois State Police has been investigating the incident.

Police said they also had a prior encounter with Cano on Aug. 12, also in Cedar Glen.

Police said they found Cano standing in the area of Route 25 and Glendale Avenue, yelling for police to kill him while holding what appeared to be an eight- to 10-inch wooden spear.

Police said they subdued Cano and transported him to an area hospital for evaluation.

MONTGOMERY

Deadline to file for rebate: Dec. 13 SHAW MEDIA Village of Montgomery officials are preparing to issue the first round of annual property tax rebate checks promised to village property owners in the wake of the successful sales tax referendum last November.

A property tax rebate in the amount of $45 will be mailed to the owner of each owner-occupied residential property who submits an application to the village by Dec. 15.

The applicant must also provide a copy of their 2014 property tax bill

(paid in 2015) and a copy of a current Illinois driver’s license or state ID listing the homeowner’s Montgomery address.

Additional information can be found on the property tax refund application. Applications are available on the village website, https:// ci.montgomery.il.us, and will also be included with the water bills to be mailed out Oct. 1.

Rebate checks will be processed during the winter and mailed out in March 2016.

To secure passage of a 1 percent

sales tax increase referendum last November, village board members pledged to provide Montgomery residents with the annual rebate on the village portion of their annual property tax bills.

The village is using the proceeds from the sales tax increase – which is paid by anyone who shops in village stores – to fund Montgomery’s annual street maintenance program.

The village will begin receiving the proceeds from the sales tax increase from the state of Illinois next month.

Oswego police station tour is Saturday LEDGER–SENTINEL Oswego Police Chief Jeff Burgner is offering the public an opportunity to tour the village’s existing police station to help understand why village officials are working towards the construction of a new facility.

The current police station was built in 1991 and was intended to last 20

years and hold up to 50 employees. Currently, the police department has 69 employees and no room to expand or create an addition at the department’s location on Route 34.

From 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Sept. 26, the public is invited to come for a guided tour and observe the day-to-day operations of the police department.

Tours will be given on a

first come, first served basis and take about 20-30 minutes. No appointment is necessary on the day of the event.

In a statement, Burgner said, “The village of Oswego is dedicated to engaging with community members during this project in an effort to be transparent as well as mindful of community needs in this new facility.”

CIVIC MEETINGS WEEK OF SEPT. 28-OCT. 2 Monday, 7 p.m.: Kendall County Zoning Board of Appeals, County Office Building, Yorkville.

Oswego considers limits on solicitors

By NATALIE STEVENS news@kendallcountynow.com Restrictions could be coming soon to those who solicit on Oswego’s streets.

Earlier in September the board discussed possible restrictions to those who solicit for donations on major roadways around town.

Oswego Police Chief Jeff Burgner brought the issue up, as complaints regarding the solicitors have risen over the last few years.

Burgner said a recent rear-end accident at Routes 30 and 34 was linked to a driver distracted by a solicitor and said that for him the soliciting in question was a “safety issue.”

Burgner said the village of Oswego has received 150 solic-

itor complaints and the village of Montgomery has received 100 complaints in the past three years. Montgomery has most of the authority over the intersection of Routes 34 and 30.

Most of the complaints in Oswego have been at the Route 30 and Orchard Road intersection and the area of Route 30 and Douglas Road.

The issue is especially timely, according to Burgner, as the village is widening Route 71 and will then have several five-lane highways throughout the area.

The last time the solicitor ordinance was updated was in 2004 and did allow for solicitors, with the restrictions that peddling may only be done during daylight hours, solicitor must be at least 16 years old and wear a high visibility vest and peddling must

be done at an intersection where traffic is required to come to a complete stop.

Burgner suggested changes to the ordinance that would limit the areas in the village where soliciting could occur and also possibly limiting the number of times an organization was allowed to solicit each year.

Trustee Joe West said he would like to eliminate roadside soliciting all together.

“I think it’s a major safety issue,” he said. “There are plenty of other locations where people can solicit for fundraisers.”

Trustee Pam Parr expressed her support for the proposed changes, but also said she would be in favor of limiting soliciting to just local groups.

“I know there is a church in Tennessee that sends people up

by the flock,” Parr said, adding that all of the money collected then goes out of state.

Last Tuesday, Burgner provided the board with an update, after discussing the issue with Montgomery Police Chief Daniel Meyers.

“The goal was to get both villages on the same page,” Burgner said. “It’s definitely on our radar.”

Board member Ryan Kaufmann said he has received several emails and also a petition with 44 signatures regarding roadside solicitors since the earlier meeting in September.

Kaufmann said wanted to make sure that there were exceptions to the rule, so the “firefighters can pass the boot” when they collect money for muscular dystrophy disease.

“There are some very worthy causes out there,” Kaufmann said.

Burgner said that limiting locations would be a “good place to start” and that would come up with a “map of some sort” on where soliciting would be allowed.

Upon the question of eliminating it all together, Burgner said he’d rather limit locations for now to provide the board with “options.”

Burgner plans to work with Chief Meyers and bring a proposed ordinance back to the board that would restrict locations for solicitation and also increase the age requirement from 16 years old to 18 years old.

The new ordinance is expected to be presented at the board’s second meeting in October.

Route 30 connection OK’d for Kendall Point

By NATALIE STEVENS news@kendallcountynow.com A proposed road extension project that would connect Kendall Point Drive to Route 30 in Oswego was met with unanimous approval of the village board this past week.

Trustees voted 4-0 in favor of both the highway permit to construct the improvements and an agreement between the village and Kendall Point Bridge LLC, the developer who will lead the project.

The project will serve to provide direct traffic access into the Kendall Point Business Center off Route 30, which borders the

center to the north.

The project will include the construction of an intersection at Kendall Point Drive and Route 30, just west of Waubonsie Creek along the highway.

In addition, the project will include an extension of Wiesbrook Drive east to the new segment of Kendall Point Drive. Wiesbrook Drive currently dead-ends on the west side of the creek.

The project was first approved

in 2008, but was put on hold due to economic conditions at that time, said Public Works Director Jennifer Hughes. Since 2008, Route 30 has been widened with the intention of the intersection being constructed.

Because the project involves an access point on Route 30, IDOT requires the village, not the developer, to apply for the permit to connect the road to the highway.

However, the petitioner, in this case Kendall Point Bridge LLC, will conduct all of the work at their cost and be responsible for the project and its completion.

The village has been working to acquire grants to assist the de-

BRIEFS Boulder Hill Neighborhood Watch meeting planned for Oct. 14

The next Boulder Hill Neighborhood Watch meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 14. The meeting will be held at the Neighborhood Church of the Brethren (enter through the south door of the building), located at 155 Boulder Hill Pass in the subdivision.

All residents of Boulder Hill are invited to attend and participate. There are no membership dues.

There is no affiliation between the Boulder Hill Neighborhood Watch and the Neighborhood Church of the Brethren.

The meetings are informal and intended to offer information to residents of the unincorporated subdivision that receives services from the Kendall County Sheriff and other Kendall County governmental offices, Oswego Township, School District 308, Oswego Public Library District, Oswegoland Park District, Fox Metro, Montgomery Water Department and Montgomery Post Office.

The Boulder Hill Neighborhood Watch is comprised of volunteers who host family-oriented events throughout the year. The organization invites Boulder Hill residents to attend

their meetings and share concerns and ideas.

Fire district hosting open house

The Oswego Fire Protection District will hold its annual open house from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Tuesday, Oct. 6, at Station No. 1 located at 3511 Woolley Road in Oswego.

Meet the firefighters, try on gear, climb in the fire trucks and see the station.

Attendees will receive a Passport to Fire Safety to travel through the station, learning about safety at each “country.” Children will have an opportunity to win a ride to school in a fire truck. Light refreshments will be available. For more information, call 630-554-2110.

veloper with the improvements, but the funds are not guaranteed.

Should grants become available, though, the use of funds will be directed towards the improvements.

However, if no grants are procured, the village has no obligation to provide supplemental funds.

Hughes said that the project has been in the “planning stages for many years” and she has reviewed the plans and they’re in “good shape and ready to go.”

The developer plans to do preliminary work this fall, Hughes said, and complete the improvements in the spring.

“This is a pretty big deal,” Vil-

lage President Gail Johnson said, to which Hughes agreed.

The route will provide an additional connection for trucks on Wiesbrook, Hughes said, and create another route for the area other than using Fifth Street.

“It’s a good step for the village’s development for that area,” Hughes said.

Board member Karin McCarthy-Lange questioned the lack of a right-turn lane for the intersection.

Hughes said there would not be one, although the intersection would be all-access, and that the route that the trucks currently use at Fifth Street also does not have a right-turn lane.

Jail passes anti-rape audit LEDGER-SENTINEL The Kendall County Jail in Yorkville recently passed a Prison Rape Elimination Act audit that was conducted on July 29-30.

The PREA audit shows the federal government that the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office, which operates the jail, has taken action to conform to federal standards that were put in place to eliminate sex abuse in a confinement setting. This is a new requirement for detention facilities.

The Kendall County jail had 41 findings of meeting expectations, one finding of exceeding expectations, and one finding that was not applicable because the office does not house inmates in other correctional facilities.

The auditor’s report

noted, “The Kendall County Sheriff’s Department has demonstrated a high commitment to inmate and staff safety.”

Some of the requirements of PREA are: • Adherence to a zero-tolerance standard for the incidence of inmate sexual assault and rape; • Development of standards for detection, prevention, reduction and punishment of prison rape; • Collection and dissemination of information on the incidence of prison rape.

Preparation for the audit was lead by Corrections Sgt. Jeanne Russo, who is the office’s PREA coordinator. It took Russo and other corrections deputies over a year to prepare for the audit. The audit consisted of a review of policy and procedure, a

tour of jail, interviews of staff, deputies, inmates, and command personnel, and review of reports and records.

Russo is a 15-year veteran of the sheriff’s office who earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration.

Sheriff Dwight Baird said, “Sergeant Russo’s leadership and hard work kept the office on track and committed to the goal.”

The jail was built 1992 and expanded in 2005.

Home to 50 correction’s staff members and encompassing 70,000 square feet, it has a maximum capacity of 203 inmates.

The jail not only houses inmates from Kendall County, it receives compensation for housing inmates from Kane, DeKalb and DuPage counties as well as federal inmates.

OUR VIEW

Politics a factor in canceled conference?

Earlier this month we received an email notice from the Kendall County Health Department that the agency planned to host a press conference Sept. 14 “to discuss how [the] state and federal budget impasse harms the vital public health services that are provided for all county residents.”

The notice continued, “The failure of the state in establishing a budget has a local impact on our community services. The continued failure to appropriate spending on these vital services hurts everyone, not just the poor, the sick and otherwise distressed. It hurts employers.

It hurts employees. It hurts our

youth, young adults and the elderly. Action must occur to ensure these community services are sustained.”

The notice also mentioned the health department provides a wide variety of services, including food inspections in local restaurants, addiction treatment, suicide and communicable disease surveillance, and energy conservation education.

We planned to send a reporter to the press conference so we could report back to you, our readers, how the current budget shenanigans in Springfield and Washington, D.C., are directly affecting the health department and its operations.

Unfortunately, the press conference was abruptly canceled just hours before it was scheduled to begin.

In announcing the cancellation, Dr. Amaal Tokars, the health department’s executive director, said in a prepared statement that “... due to concerns expressed regarding this public press conference, the press conference has been canceled.”

When contacted, Tokars declined to comment further on who was expressing concerns or the reason or reasons for the cancellation.

Jeff Wehrli, a Kendall County Board member who acts as the

board’s liaison to the health department, said he did not know why the press conference was called off.

We are concerned that political considerations may have factored into the decision to cancel the press conference.

If county health department officials were to publicly detail how the state budget impasse is adversely affecting their ability to provide vital services to county residents, it might cast state lawmakers from both parties in a negative light.

That in turn, could create hard feelings between the health department and lawmakers, the same folks who are responsible

for allocating state funds to the agency.

Under such circumstances, we could understand why county health department officials would be reticent about speaking up.

Even if politics were not a factor in the decision to cancel the press conference, we hope that our county officials and local state lawmakers would put the public good over any partisan political interests and encourage health department officials to hold their press conference so they can speak freely about how the state’s budget impasse is affecting the agency and county residents.

Time for putting by last of the summer produce REFLECTIONS Roger Matile In back of our house most years a woodchuck spends his (or possibly her – it’s hard to tell with woodchucks) days frantically gathering food. We see him hurrying away from his burrow and then rushing back again with a mouth full of greenery to be put by for the long winter months to follow.

Not too long ago, the area’s human residents behaved in much the same fashion – this time of the year was a season for putting things by in preparation for the coming of winter.

Back in the day, garden produce had been harvested right through the summer, of course.

Crops of radishes, lettuce and onions had either been eaten as they ripened or, in the case of onions, allowed to dry before being stored in mesh bags hung from the ceiling of the basement fruit cellar.

Canning was invented by another one of those inventive French fellows, Nicholas Appert, in 1804. But it took quite a while for the technology to filter down to be available for home use.

In the very early days of settlement, such garden crops as beans and peas were not canned, but were dried and stored in roughly woven bags to be used as ingredients for the soups and stews that were so much a part of the diets then.

I still have a large pewter charger that has been in the family for a couple of centuries. A cross between a large-diameter shallow bowl and a platter, the charger was filled (“charged”) with soup or stew and placed in the center of the table where everyone could help themselves to the food.

The pewter plates that originally went with the charger were melted down into musket balls, according to my grandmother. I don’t know if that’s a true tale or not, but it certainly made for a wonderful story when

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

David Haight operated a vinegar works in the basement of his grocery and general store at the corner of Main and Washington streets in downtown Oswego. The vinegar works was one of several that operated in the village in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

I was growing up.

Beginning in the late 19th century, though, thanks to the advance of manufacturing technology, home canning using glass jars became economical.

So a variety of garden vegetables were canned to preserve them until needed.

Other vegetables, however, were not canned but were, instead, pickled.

Pickled food was very popular with my German family. Sauerkraut, in particular, was a favored way to preserve cabbage, while cucumbers were preserved by turning them into sweet and dill pickles and pickle relish.

Beets were likewise pickled for use as a side dish during winter meals.

Pickled food can be healthy, too. In the era before citrus fruit was easily available, it was discovered that sauerkraut would prevent scurvy.

Condiments were canned, potted, bottled or otherwise preserved as well. Horseradish, which most of my family craves, was grated and bottled.

My grandfather’s brother, Uncle Fred, was the family horseradish maker.

It is said he was relatively unaffected by the fumes as he happily grated the pungent roots, probably with visions of how it would taste on a nice slice of ham or a succulent pork hock.

Fruits were usually canned.

Peaches, pears, apples, apricots and cherries were picked in the farm orchard and then canned for use later on in pies and other such delicacies.

Apples were used for more than just pies, however. They could be canned with spices for use as a salad dish, and could also be dried for later use.

Apples were also ground up into applesauce and were squeezed

for cider.

In colonial days, cider was the national drink. The sweet cider of early fall quickly turned to the hard cider of early winter, making for a happy populace.

And with the right yeast, cider turned into vinegar, which was the basis for much of that pickling process so important for so many.

Because of their utility, in fact, apples were a cash crop for Kendall County farmers. One variety, the Minkler Apple, was bred right here in NaAuSay Township. In the fall, farmers picked their apple crops and hauled them to town by wagon, where they were squeezed into cider, which was then usually sold to one of the local vinegar works.

In Oswego, for instance, David Haight owned a grocery and general store with a vinegar works in the basement. The

Little White School Museum has one of Haight’s large stoneware vinegar jugs on display.

Root crops were not usually canned or otherwise processed.

Instead, after harvesting they were placed in layers in large containers, with each layer of vegetables separated by a layer of sand.

Potatoes, turnips, carrots, and other such crops were thus “put down” for the winter (as opposed to being “put up” in cans).

Apples, too, could be preserved for nearly the entire winter that way. The search was always on for an apple variety that was “a good keeper.”

By the time the first days of early winter arrived in Kendall County, farm families had fruit cellars full of food, with glass jars and bottles filling the shelves that lined the walls of the darkest room in the basement.

Fall’s provender joined the last of the canned meat that had been put by the previous year.

With the start of cold weather, the butchering cycle would soon begin to add more meat to the supply.

Starting in the early 1950s, many farm and town families began freezing fruits and vegetables instead of canning them.

One year for Christmas, my grandfather bought my mother, her sister, and her brother International Harvester deep freezes, each of which was roughly the size of a Volkswagen, and from then on, sweet corn, and many other vegetables were frozen, not canned.

Nowadays, we go to the supermarket and buy virtually all our food, and it tastes OK. But more and more I remember how my grandmother replied one time when I asked her if she’d like to go back in time to her youth.

“Maybe – for a meal,” she said after a slight hesitation. As I think of the foods of my childhood, I more and more see her point.

FORUM Efficiency and economics

To the Editor: I found three very interesting things in the Sept. 17 Ledger-Sentinel. The first was about returning kindergartners to their home area schools to save money.

During the years that I drove a school bus for District 308, there were many routes that didn’t seem to make economic sense. As a stand-by driver, I transported loads of kids from one side of the district, past a school they could have walked to, to a school on the other side of the district. If it was an effort to put Spanish-speaking kids into a specialized dual-language class, sorry, but I never noticed any of them having much of a problem with English. I believe the kids were smarter than district administrators knew.

Another thing we had – and might still have – is the ELC/ Head Start program. Even the U.S. government says that kids in this early learning program show no advantage by the time they hit second grade.

I always thought the district spent millions every year on a babysitting service. Someone should ask about the money that was spent to put diesel burning block heaters in the buses when they had electric heaters they did not maintain, and the real problem was interior heat, not engine block heat.

The second article I read made me laugh. A Mr. Harshberger complained that a District 308 driver could not find Herget Middle School in Aurora for a field trip. That’s pathetic. As soon as I read the name “Herget,” a picture of where it was and the access and parking layout popped into my head. I kept an alphabetical listing of instructions for the dozens of places I drove field trips to that I kept updated and in my bag. If I had not been to a place before, I got Google maps and satellite pictures of it. The younger kids got a kick out of seeing a picture of where they were going that was taken from 200 miles up.

When I got there, I handed the teachers cards with my cell number and the bus number. My job was to see to the needs of my passengers, and I made the effort. To send out a driver that has no idea where they are going has to say something about more people than just the driver.

The last thing I found was an ad in the classified section for new bus drivers for District 308. I think it’s only in the last few years that these ads have been popping up long after the school year has started.

What’s wrong there?

I could be wrong, there could be vast and cool intellect at work in District 308 that begs understanding far beyond my simple abilities, but from my

Thursday, September 24, 2015 Ledger-Sentinel • Page 5

lowly position over the years, I never had the opinion that efficiency and economics were well understood concepts.

Brew at Bridge thanks

To the Editor: The Oswegoland Park District had a beautiful weekend for the fourth annual Brew at the Bridge Craft Beer Festival on Saturday, Sept. 19. Hudson Crossing Park was filled with happy folks sampling some popular offerings from commercial brewers, unique recipes from home brew clubs, and some tasty treats to go with them.

The event was only possible thanks to our many dedicated volunteers and great partners.

We had dozens of people volunteer their time to help check IDs, collect tickets, and help us keep things running smoothly.

We cannot thank them enough for being an important part of our festival. Special thanks to the village of Oswego and the Oswego Police department for contributing to a safe event on a busy day. Thank you to Weblinx and the Taphouse Grill for partnering with us to make this event a success.

Thank you to the four home brew clubs who donated their time and talents with us. The Basement Brew Crew, the Plainfield Ale and Lager Enthusiasts, the Spent Grain Society, and the Wingnut Brew Club shared their love of home brewing and the fruits of their labors with guests on Saturday.

Willful ignorance

To the Editor: A week ago Monday, Sept.

14, the Chicago Tribune reported that a CNN/ORC poll had found that 43 percent of Republicans think that President Obama is a Muslim.

How this could be is a mystery to me since the man himself claims to be Christian. Those 43 percenters might want to check out some of the transcripts from several of the National Prayer Breakfasts or Easter Breakfasts the president has spoken at over the years, which can be easily found online.

Try for starters the “Remarks by the President at the 2014 National Prayer Breakfast” in which he speaks of his own spiritual journey: “In my life, He (God) directed my path to Chicago and my work with churches who were intent on breaking the cycle of poverty in hard-hit communities there.

And I’m grateful not only because I was broke and the church fed me but because it led me to everything else.

It led me to embrace Jesus

Christ as my Lord and Savior.”

Then read the remarks he made at the 2012 Prayer Breakfast. If it were a crime to be a Christian, I believe President Obama could be convicted; there is no dearth of evidence.

I’m curious as to who is claiming he is a Muslim and why. There appears to be some kind of racial and/or religious bias here somewhere. If only it were possible, I think a very interesting social science experiment would be to drop conservative Republicanwho-claims-to-be-a-Christian Dr. Ben Carson into Obama’s place and poll that same 43 percent on their beliefs about him. Would he be believed?

And why or why not?

Interestingly, presidential candidate Carson seems to think that a Muslim is not qualified for the position he himself is aspiring to. Does this not appear to be a rather un-American viewpoint? Since the First Amendment does state that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ...”

A healthy democracy is dependent upon educated voters who are interested in what the truth is, however inconvenient.

None of us has a monopoly on the truth, especially when it comes to religion. Personally, I find it very hard to forgive willful ignorance.

Fox Valley Older Adult Services needs help

To the Editor: This may come as a shock to some readers, but Fox Valley Older Adult Services (FVOAS) will be closing its doors very shortly. Due to the state’s financial issues, FVOAS has not been paid any funds since late June. FVOAS has currently no money for payroll or operating expenses thanks to the financial crisis in Springfield.

The closing of this beloved community center means that 250-plus seniors will no longer receive in-home care. This puts them at risk for having no choice but to go into a nursing home. It also means that our many seniors and developmentally impaired friends and neighbors have nowhere to go for an affordable hot meal, day activities or fellowship. It also means 125 of our local aides and workers will lose their jobs, too.

The state of Illinois owes FVOAS over $300,000. State Sen. Tim Bivins was recently at our facility and praised us for the fine work that we do. He then went back to Springfield and voted against SB2046, which would have provided the funding for senior programs all over the state.

Our banking partner in town during these nearly impossible circumstances has been Heartland Bank. They have

been wonderful to work with and we appreciate them so much. Regretfully our line of credit has been exhausted and they will no longer extend us operating funds while we wait for the state to pay us. We certainly understand their position from a business standpoint.

At this juncture, the situation we find ourselves in goes beyond business considerations.

We are in a local humanitarian crisis. We are asking our wonderful partners at Heartland Bank to work with us so we can remain open another 90 days. We are confident that we will have repayment funds by then and the bank will be paid back.

Please call Sen. Bivins’ office, 815-284-0045, and ask him why he chose to vote against funding after just visiting our facility, offering us great praise but then cutting us off at the knees. Please also call our local Heartland Bank branch in Sandwich, 815-786-2115, and ask them to keep us open for the next 90 days until we can get paid. And while you have your phone handy, please call Sen. Bivins’ office and ask him to call Heartland Bank to request emergency funding for 90 days.

We love our small town of Sandwich and the surrounding communities. Let us show our dedication to the most vulnerable among us by doing everything we can to keep FVOAS open. This is our greatest crisis in our nearly 43-year-old existence.

Thank you, Alexander Edwards Executive Board Member Fox Valley Older Adults Sandwich

Trust Americans to plan for retirement

To the Editor: Here’s a startling statistic: Almost 40 million households haven’t saved anything for retirement. So why is the president pushing a new regulation that would put up obstacles for Americans to obtain retirement advice? Does he distrust Americans enough to restrict them from investing in stable, sound financial products?

Picture this: Beth Ann, age 62 and nearing retirement, wants to manage her financial future by rolling over her 401K plan into an Individual Retirement Account she controls.

But when she visits her longtime financial adviser, she hits a wall: the Department of Labor has stepped in between her and her trusted adviser who has provided her reliable service for years.

For whatever reason, the president doesn’t know or care what these new rules will mean for Main Street investors who need retirement advice the most. Customers like Beth Ann could become too expensive for her adviser to serve. Ironically, breaking this

trusted relationship leaves her worse-off when she is left to navigate the complex market on her own.

That’s why I am fighting in Congress to make sure Beth Ann and millions like her have access to the retirement advice they want and need.

In July, I led my colleagues in sending two letters to urge the DOL to change course. Nine members of the president’s party in Congress are waking up and have filed similar concerns of the need to protect choice for their constituents.

Additionally, I support the Retail Investor Protection Act, which takes the administration’s special interests out of the process and ensure an independent regulator with better knowledge of the situation – the SEC – would take the lead.

Americans want the choice to get help from trusted experts when planning for the future. Let’s again start trusting Americans to make wise decisions about their own lives.

McDonald’s egg pledge a small step

To the Editor: McDonald’s pledge last week to start using cage-free eggs is only a small step in preventing staggering suffering endured by millions of birds.

Hatcheries that annually supply 200 million female hens for U.S. egg production, including cage-free, also kill the same number of male chicks at birth by grinding them up alive in industrial macerators or suffocating them slowly in plastic garbage bags. The female laying hens endure a lifetime of misery, crammed with 5-6 others, in small wire-mesh cages that cut into their feet and tear out their feathers.

Eggs are common carriers of food-borne bacteria, including salmonella, campylobacter, listeria, and staphylococcus.

USDA estimates that salmonella alone accounts for 1.3 million U.S. illnesses and 500 deaths annually.

Eggs contain saturated fat and cholesterol, key factors in incidence of heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes.

They are a common cause of allergies in children.

Waste from millions of egg-laying hens ends up in waterways, rendering vast areas unsuited for recreation or water supply.

The good news for compassionate, health-conscious, eco-friendly consumers is that our local supermarket offers a number of delicious egg substitutes and egg-free food products. Entering “egg-free” in a search engine returns tons of recipes.

Constitution Week

To the Editor: When was the last time you read the United States Constitution? Was it back in high school? How well do you think you could answer basic questions about the Constitution today? If you are like the average American, you wouldn’t do very well.

In 2014, the Civics Renewal Network, a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania, surveyed 1,416 adults about the United States Constitution. The survey found that only 36 percent could correctly name the three branches of government, and 35 percent could not name even one branch. Overall, respondents scored poorly on the questionnaire with the lowest scores coming from those aged 18 to 25. Interestingly, the highest scores came from respondents who identified themselves as immigrants.

We, the People can do better. We can read the Constitution. It’s easy to do. The Constitution is a very short document. The original was only four pages long, written in long hand (typewriters had not been invented back in 1787). Since then 27 amendments have been added.

The first 10 amendments are known as the Bill of Rights.

The Amendments are concise as well, ranging from a few sentences to a few paragraphs in length.

No gruel for you

To the Editor: Our federal representative, Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, has been staying up nightly crafting many bills to protect children. His current bill, HR 3134, Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2015, shows his love of unborn children. He added his name to HR 3504, the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act and to HR 671, Investigate Planned Parenthood. He also fiercely supports bills stopping Planned Parenthood from using federal money for abortions, even though the Hyde Amendment prohibits that already.

This all comes about because he watched the highly creative video

of a day in the life of a physician at Planned Parenthood and how gruesome she could be. So now he is on board with saving the unborn and closing that horrible organization. But wait, he had an epiphany.

He figured out that these unborn children he will be saving by closing down Planned Parenthood will need some help.

He set out to work on a bill to increase aid to all children and their parents. Randy read that over 20 percent of today’s children live below the poverty level and he felt terrible.

So in the bill he plans to increase the funding for education from 2 percent of the federal budget to 4 percent.

He is on board with Bernie Sander’s idea of free college education for all kids.

These kids have to eat better, so he is increasing spending for SNAP (food stamps) because at $3 a day you can’t feed kids a Happy Meal and expect them to perform well.

There will be increases in the earned income tax credit, school lunch programs, housing assistance for low income families, heat subsidies and a

huge increase in Medicaid spending so his idea of sending women to the federally qualified health centers will become a reality.

The reason Planned Parenthood exists is because they can function on what Medicaid pays for their bills plus the half billion the government gives them. This will all be paid for by reducing the defense budget by $100 billion plus a small increase in the tax rate for high-earning Republicans.

Randy is going to sleep better at night because of this bill. But he awoke in a cold sweat fearing he actually crafted this bill. The Republican Party would be outraged. It’s everything they can do just saving the unborn. The kids, he said, would have to fend for themselves. Sorry Oliver, no gruel for you.

During a football game the other day, a bunch of kids from the robotics club turned the school’s scoreboard into a big clock. The president of the club was to be interviewed on TV for his team’s creativity but he was unable to be present. The principal had him arrested for making a fake bomb out of the scoreboard. The

President tweeted, “Nice try though, we already have enough clock makers coming to the White House.”

PADS needs volunteers

To the Editor: Homeless people live in Kendall County. The typical guest of Kendall County Public Action to Deliver Shelter (PADS) has no place to live. They often are unemployed or under-employed – not enough to maintain a rent payment. They have abandoned nearly all their possessions, carrying what they have left in a backpack, duffel bag, or the trunk of their car.

Their last valuable possession they hang on to is their phone. They have been separated from family and friends with whom they often have simply worn out their welcome or burned bridges.

Serving as a lifeline for the homeless, PADS provides overnight shelter, nutritious meals and warm hospitality to their guests.

Since PADS began in October

2010, the program has served more than 300 different men, women and children, with as many as 79 in one winter season. Over five winter seasons, PADS has provided 5,794 “overnight stays” and served more than 17,369 meals.

The shelter program is totally dependent on the nearly 600 volunteers who staff the shelter sites each night, in shifts, between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m., for six months. The 2015-16 PADS program needs more volunteers in order to open the doors to the homeless in October. If you are interested in learning about PADS, you are invited to attend an information meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 28, at Yorkville Congregational UCC, 409 Center Parkway.

We remain hopeful that a hundred more citizens will be moved to share their kindness and compassion with the homeless who will be guests of PADS this winter.

Anne Engelhardt Executive Director Kendall County PADS Yorkville

Final Montgomery brush pickup set LEDGER–SENTINEL Montgomery’s final monthly brush pickup for the year will occur the week of Oct. 5.

To help ensure the village continues to efficiently and effectively provide this service to village residents, the following rules have been established: Brush must be stacked neatly in the parkway by the Sunday evening of pickup week. Crews will begin Monday morning and will make only one pass through a neighborhood. Brush placed after village crews have passed will not be collected.

Brush should be neatly piled in one direction, unbundled, with

the larger trunk portions facing the street. Brush piles should not be taller than three feet high, and should not obstruct the sidewalk.

For safety reasons, branches must be no smaller than one inch – but no larger than four inches – in diameter and no shorter than three feet in length. Public works crews will not pick up piles that include bushes with roots and dirt attached, grape or other vines, lumber, plywood or construction materials (including but not limited to metal objects, concrete/stone chunks, etc).

Twigs, leaves and smaller yard debris need to be placed in yard waste bags for removal by the village’s regular garbage hauling

service, Allied Waste Services. As part of residents’ garbage service, Allied Waste Services will pick up one 30 gallon yard waste bag (not to exceed 50 pounds) each week from April through November at no extra cost.

The brush program is not intended to handle branches, logs, or tree stumps as a result of largescale tree trimming or removal.

Brush must be placed on the parkway in front of the property from which it originates (Village of Montgomery Code, Sec.9-45), so do not place brush in the street or onto other lots. Brush may be placed in the parkway for removal up to one week before the scheduled pickup dates.

BRIEF Oswego’s final brush pickup starts Oct. 5 in Zone A

The village of Oswego Public Works Department’s final brush pickup of the year will occur next month. There are two designated pickup zones. Zone A is comprised of all homes located north of U.S. Route 34, while Zone B is comprised of all homes located south of U.S. Route 34.

Pickup in Zone A will is scheduled for the week of Oct. 5-9. Zone B pickup is scheduled for the week of Oct. 12-16. All brush must be placed at the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the designated week, but no earlier than noon the prior Friday.

The public works truck will pass

through an area once and will not return for brush placed after the deadline.

Brush is defined as tree and bush branches that are less than five inches in diameter. Unbundled brush should be placed parallel or perpendicular to the street in neat bundles with all cut ends facing the same direction. Do not put brush in a container or in the street.

Logs, wood, root balls, cuttings or grass clippings will not be picked up. Crews will place an orange tag on doors indicating the reason they did not pickup the brush if it is the wrong material or placed at the curb prior to the deadline.

New water system for Fox Bend Montgomery

By LYLE R. ROLFE news@kendallcountynow.com Fox Bend Golf Course’s antiquated watering system will be replaced this year.

Oswegoland Park District Trustees last week approved accepting a bid from Pro Pup & Control Inc., of $117,703 for the project, including the office controller operating system, according to a memo from Grant Casleton, planning and development director.

Casleton noted the Pro Pup bid is below the $145,000 budgeted for the project.

Alternate 3, field controllers, will be installed next spring as a cost of $86,508. This would increase the total project cost to $204,211, but this alternate will be included in the district’s 2016 budget, so the project will still

be under budget for 2015, according to Casleton.

The bid proposal asked for a totally new system, but Bob Kohlstedt, Fox Bend superintendent, said some of the present equipment does not require replacing so the actual cost will be less than the bid.

A fourth alternate for a submersible pump was not included because this pump would not be needed, he said.

Kohlstedt said the present system is more than 20 years old and is being kept in operation with used parts he has been able to purchase when needed.

New parts are no longer available because of the system’s age, he said.

“Now’s the time to do this before something actually breaks on it and we can’t water the grass – something that’s pretty important to what we do

out there,” said Rich Zielke, district executive administrator.

Kohlstedt said the water for the course is pumped from lakes on the course, which are kept filled by runoff from rain.

No underground or municipal water is used on the course.

The present system originally pumped 1,000 gallons a minute, but is now down to 600 because of its age.

“We can’t even water the entire course in one night anymore without the pumps shutting down. Because of this, we have to split the course and water half each night by manually turning the pumps on and off.

These new parts will help us save the system we now have in the ground and increase our efficiency. The golf season starts in March but we don’t need to water the course usually until May,” he said.

Rt. 34 widening work likely to begin in ’16 Highway to get additional lanes, multi-use path

“Vehicle miles traveled have gone up recently – some roads have been flat, others have been slightly increasing – and over the last several years they were very flat but now we are starting to see them climb again.”

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com The thousands of motorists that travel on U.S. Route 34 daily between Yorkville and Oswego should see construction barricades and orange cones go up next year as work to improve the highway begins, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Crews are expected to start moving utility lines out of the highway right-of-way next spring, according to David Broviak, an IDOT engineer.

Contractors will then rebuild a 3.4-mile section of the two-lane highway to four lanes with curbs and gutters. In addition, a 10-footwide multi-use path will be installed along the highway from Marketplace Drive in Yorkville to O’Brien Way in Oswego.

Project plans also call for either the improvement of existing traffic signals or new traffic signals at the following intersections along the highway: McHugh Road, Countryside Parkway, Au-

David Broviak IDOT engineer

Mike Solley – msolley@shawmedia.com

IDOT plans to widen U.S. Route 34 from Orchard Road to Illinois Route 47. tumn Creek Boulevard and Bristol Ridge Road in Yorkville and O’Brien Way in Oswego, according to Craig Reed, an IDOT studies and plans project engineer.

Broviak confirmed that IDOT officials expect to seek contractor bids for the project by the end of this year. However, he said he doesn’t yet know when the contract will be awarded.

“If it is a later [contract] letting they will usually start in the spring,” he said.

The project has a pre-bid esti-

mated price tag of $31.5 million.

Construction is expected to take a little over two years to complete, according to Broviak.

“Typically contractors bid it and they try to get things done earlier rather than later because of prices,” he said.

He added that utility work should finish up early next year with construction to start shortly thereafter.

IDOT officials have deemed the project necessary to keep up with the increasing number of

motorists who use the highway.

According to the agency’s average daily traffic counts, 13,400 vehicles travel the highway between McHugh Road and Bristol Ridge Road daily; 16,000 vehicles travel the highway between Bristol Ridge Road and East Rickard Drive, and 17,000 vehicles travel the highway just west of Orchard Road.

IDOT officials predict the numbers will jump to about 30,000 vehicles a day over the next 12 years.

“The ADT [average daily traffic] is not the overall indicator as is your peak hour volumes, because if your traffic is spread out throughout the day your roadway can take it a little better,” Broviak said. “Vehicle miles traveled have

gone up recently – some roads have been flat, others have been slightly increasing – and over the last several years they were very flat but now we are starting to see them climb again.”

Regarding the state budget impasse, Broviak said he hasn’t seen any impact yet on IDOT projects.

For the Route 34 project, 80 percent of the funds will come from the federal government and the state will cover the other 20 percent of the cost.

“At the district office we identify them [projects], design them and put them out to bid and send them down to Springfield, and they handle all the funding,” Broviak said.

The pending Route 34 project will be the fifth significant highway improvement project undertaken by IDOT in Kendall County in recent years. Currently, contractors for the agency are finishing up with the widening of Route 47 in Yorkville and proceeding with the widening of Ill. Route 71 between Route 34 and Orchard/ Minkler Road in Oswego. That project is expected to be completed by the end of next year.

Earlier this year, contractors completed the widening of Route 30 between Route 34 and Ill. Route 31 in Montgomery and Oswego, and the widening of Route 34 through Plano.

Beatrice Woolley Price, played by Auroran Jill Orr.

Marcius C. Richards (18401928), portrayed by Rich LeCropane of Oswego.

Collins Road extension plans moved up County officials hopeful of receiving federal funds for engineering phases

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com Engineering work for a western extension of Collins Road in the village of Oswego has been moved up a year as the Kendall County Board hopes to receive federal highway funds through the Kane/Kendall Council of Mayors to complete the project.

The Collins Road extension is included in an updated five-year county highway plan adopted by the board during a meeting Sept.

15.

Once completed, Collins Road would intersect with Minkler Road in the village. Collins currently ends at Grove Road. If

Oswego ever received a Metra station at Orchard and Mill, the Collins extension would allow commuters to more easily reach Orchard Road south of Oswego.

Fran Klaas, the county’s highway engineer, reported that the county has applied for phase two engineering money through the KKCOM. The KKCOM’s Surface Transportation Program provides funding to municipalities for projects on the Federal-Aid Highway System. Northeastern Illinois is divided into 11 Council of Mayors districts, which are allocated STP funding for local transportation projects.

The Kane/Kendall Council of

Mayors receives approximately $8 million a year in STP funds, according to information on KKCOM’s website.

Approximately every three years, the group has a call for all eligible projects. The projects are ranked according to the KKCOM methodology.

The rankings are utilized by the Transportation Policy Committee to prepare a programming recommendation.

The five-year plan has the county spending $1 million next year for phase one engineering.

Klaas said they moved the timetable up for phase one engineering on the Collins Road project because there is the possibility that the county could get the extra funding from the KKCOM to complete phase two engineering on the road project.

“We are hopeful [and] optimistic that maybe we’ll get some

“We are hopeful [and] optimistic that maybe we’ll get some money from them for phase two engineering. We could get started on [phase one] on that as early as next year.”

Fran Klaas, Kendall County highway engineer, on possible Kane/Kendall Council of Mayors funding money from them for phase two engineering,” he said. “We could get started on [phase one] on that as early as next year.”

Other projects in the later years of the plan were reduced by $1 million so that there was no change in the total dollar value of the plan, according to minutes from the Highway Committee’s Sept. 8 meeting.

The plan shows $700,000 estimated in 2018 for phase two engineering and another $700,000 in 2019. Land acquisition is scheduled for 2020 at an estimated of

$500,000.

According to the KKCOM’s July/August newsletter, staff rankings to the group’s Transportation Policy Committee for review and consideration are scheduled on Oct. 15.

A final recommendation is then forwarded to the council for final approval.

The program is submitted to CMAP to be developed into the regional Transportation Improvement Program, the northeastern Illinois five-year agenda of transportation projects.

Contract awarded for changes to Old Ridge Road Road to be milled down, stop signs on Rt. 126 to go

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com The Illinois Department of Transportation has awarded a contract to a firm to take down the stop signs on Ill. Route 126 at Old Ridge Road in NaAuSay Township south of Oswego, but engineers for the agency say they don’t know when the company will begin work.

Dave Broviak, studies and plans engineer for IDOT, said the project, which includes grinding down the pavement at the intersection and removing a flashing warning light, was awarded Aug. 19 to Lorusso Cement Contractor Inc. There are 15 working days left in the construction season this year so Broviak said it will “more than likely be completed this year.”

However, Craig Reed, an IDOT engineer, said the company has not given IDOT a firm start date.

“We have not gotten the schedule from the contractor. We’re not sure when that actual work will begin,” Reed said.

The work will include

lowering the pavement to improve the sight distance for drivers.

The bulk of the road work is milling the pavement eight to nine inches down and then putting a surface course back on top to approve the sight distance for the intersection to the west of Old Ridge Road, according to Broviak.

Crews will eliminate the blind spot where cars are below the crest and not visible to drivers at the top of the hill.

A new intersection at Ridge Road and Route 126 near the village of Plainfield opened late last year.

The highway project swung a portion of Ridge Road north of Wheeler Road to the east, connecting it to a portion of Ridge Road (formerly Plainfield Road) north of Route 126.

The project included constructing a new fourway intersection at Route 126 and Ridge Road with traffic lights and turn lanes in all directions.

The existing portion of Ridge Road between Wheeler Road and Route 126 remains open to local traffic since there are 20 homes

along it, but the road deadends.

According to IDOT, the volume of traffic on Ridge Road is about 150 vehicles per day compared to about 6,500 vehicles that travel on Route 126, according to Broviak, which does not warrant a four-way stop.

Residents living along Old Ridge Road have spoken out against taking the stop signs down on Route 126, claiming the intersection is not safe without them.

They point to a 2004 fatal accident that killed a woman at the intersection, shortly after the stop signs were added.

Kifowit’s constituents invited to coffee event LEDGER–SENTINEL State Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, D-Oswego, is encouraging residents to share their thoughts on the budget and other major issues facing the state while grabbing their morning coffee at a series of “Coffee with Kifowit” events throughout September and October.

The fourth and fifth grades will start their run at 9 a.m. and the first, second and third grades

Food drive going on now, ends Sept. 30 LEDGER–SENTINEL More than 7,000 area residents in need visit the Kendall County Food Pantry every month, and once again Community Unit School District 308 will help to keep pantry shelves well stocked.

The district is hosting its second annual food drive for the Kendall County Food Pantry from Sept. 21 to Sept. 30. The food drive will serve as a contest between the elementary schools, junior highs, and high schools leading up to the Crosstown Challenge football game on Oct. 2. The winning schools will be announced at halftime of the varsity game.

“This is a wonderful way for students and the community to be able to combat hunger locally,” said Dr. John Sparlin, associate superintendent for administrative services. “When we align our efforts, we generate more interest and have a stronger impact. If we all do a little, it adds up to a lot.”

The winners of the food drive will be determined by the total number of items collected at each school. There will be winners declared at the elementary level, junior-high level and highschool level.

Donation boxes are available in all schools through Sept. 30.

Fans attending the game will receive a raffle ticket for each can of food they bring and a chance to win prizes announced throughout the game.

Elementary schools will focus on collecting baby supplies (formula, diapers, wipes, food, etc.), dry food (pasta, dry beans, boxed meals, etc.), and condiments (ketchup, mustard, relish, etc.). Junior high schools will focus on collecting cleaning supplies (dish soap, laundry detergent, etc.), breakfast (cereal, pancake mix, etc.) and baking items (flour, sugar, etc.). The high schools will concentrate on collecting paper (napkins, paper towels, toilet paper, tissue, etc.), toiletries and canned food (soup, fruit, vegetables, etc.). Any item will be accepted at each location.

The food drive occurs at a critical time before the holiday season, when food donations are not at their peak. It also aligns the efforts of individual schools to maximize the community’s impact in fighting hunger locally.

District 308 will attempt to break the record it set in last year’s inaugural district-wide food drive for the largest single donation ever made to the Kendall County Food Pantry, with more than 58,000 items donated.

On par for historic finish Crosstown ticket sales begin

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com Although a perfect run through the Southwest Prairie Conference season would be nice, the Oswego East boys golf team has bigger goals in mind.

With the SPC tournament approaching next Wednesday at Blackberry Oaks, the Wolves will be challenging by a balanced slate of league teams for the championship. Teams receive two points for each dual win and currently sits in first place with 12 points.

“The team understands the most important thing is next Wednesday. It’s great that they’re able to win these head-to-heads, but it doesn’t matter how well we do head-to-head. The most important thing is getting that conference tournament win,” Oswego East head coach Jim Vera said.

Oswego East brought a 6-0 SPC record into the final match on Wednesday, hosting Minooka at Fox Bend.

(Results unavailable at press time.) Minooka is 5-0 with its final SPC match rescheduled to next Monday against Plainfield East.

“Minooka’s average is about a 153 and our best score of the year is a 153.

They’re definitely the elite,” Vera said. “Our conference has had some very good scores. There’s probably only about 15-20 strokes that separates second place to fourth place in our conference.”

On Monday, Oswego East traveled to Wedge-

wood to face Plainfield East in a rescheduled match and won 173-178 over the Bengals. Senior Max Behnke was the co-medalist at 41.

The Wolves take on Minooka at Fox Bend on Wednesday afternoon. Minooka is also undefeated in the SPC. “We’re still undefeated in conference and that’s a first for us. We’re going into Minooka with a 6-0 record and we’ve had some pretty good matches the last few weeks,” Vera said. “[Monday] we didn’t play great, but still well enough to win. A couple kids have been playing real well. Max Behnke and Adam Densberger have just been doing a real nice job. Our goal in every match is to score around 160, which would be everyone at 40, and we’ve had a couple matches we’ve been in the 150s. There’s been a couple where we’ve been in the 170s and we’ve still managed to win those.

We’ve been lucky, but we’ve also been solid.”

Behnke and Densberger are currently among the top individual conference golfers this fall and will be vying for an All-Conference finish to the season next week in tournament play.

“They’re pretty much within a couple strokes of each other every match and towards the top of the conference with points.

We’ve also had some nice surprises this year too, like Max’s brother, Sam and Keegan Schropp,” Vera said. “We’re getting a lot of contributions from a lot of guys, and that’s been the

biggest difference for us this year.”

On Sept. 16, Oswego East defeated Oswego 155-162 as Densberger and Oswego senior Matt Compton share the medalist position with a 37.

For the Wolves, Max Behnke followed closely at 38, while Sam Behnke scored a 39 and senior Wyatt Lamb rounded out the scoring at 41 In addition to Compton’s low score, the Panthers (3-4, 3-3 SPC) were led by junior Craig Schlegel (37), junior Matt Latzke (42) and senior Andrew Hiller (43) Following the SPC meet, Oswego and Oswego East will enter the Class 3A Oswego Regional at Blackberry Oaks on Oct. 6.

Oswego 168, Romeoville 244: The Panthers counted scores from Schlegel (41), Compton (42), Tommy Falcone (42) and Mason Lee (43).

GIRLS TENNIS

Wolves wow in week of action

By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com The Oswego East girls’ tennis team remains perfect in Southwest Prairie Conference action after its 7-0 sweep over rival Oswego last Thursday on the Panthers’ home court.

Oswego East is now 6-1 overall and 4-0 in the conference after five straight dual meet wins entering this week of action against Plainfield South and Minooka.

“It was a good night for the Wolves,” Oswego East head coach Pete Conrad said. “Not only were we able to sweep our crosstown rivals, but it was clear that many of the girls are continuing to make improvements. Ravina Shah and Angel Javier are playing great at third doubles and Mma Enuenwosu and Karla Padilla are playing much more consistent tennis.

“The Oswego match was good for our team. While Oswego rebuilds after losing so many of last year’s seniors, it was important for our girls to stay focused and play strong. We were able to do that and show improvements at the same time.”

“The Wolves are good,” Oswego head coach Ryan Parr added. “I think (the conference winner will be) between them and Plainfield North, but probably (Plainfield) East as long as they keep working.”

At No. 1 singles, Jaiere Harlow won, 6-0, 6-0. At No. 2, Simran Singh won, 6-4, 6-1. Mary Webber won at No. 3 singles, 6-1, 6-1 for the Wolves against the Panthers.

The Panthers were 1-8 overall and 0-3 in the conference entering this week of action against Romeoville and Plainfield East.

“Things are going OK,” Parr said.

“We are getting better every day. We need to still focus on staying positive and continue to work as hard as we can so we can continue to grow as a team as individuals.”

Oswego East notes: Oswego East defeated Plainfield Central (6-1) with wins from Harlow (6-0, 6-0), Singh (61, 6-1), Webber (6-3, 6-3), Clebanoff/ Kota (6-0, 6-3), Carmody/Miller (4-6, 6-2, 6-3) and Shah/Javier (6-1, 6-2).

On Saturday, the Wolves were a part of Maine South’s Hawk Invite, where Harlow placed second overall at No. 1 singles. Singh and Webber each had a win in singles action.

Oswego notes: The Panthers fell to Plainfield North (7-0) on Sept. 15.

PREP CROSS COUNTRY

Oswego girls on the radar Team impressive at Richard Spring; up to No. 10 state ranking

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com Without an elite runner in its lineup, the Oswego girls’ cross country team has been flying under the Class 3A radar this season, but after the Panthers’ performance last Saturday, they’re starting to draw attention.

Oswego entered the annual Richard Spring Invitational at Peoria’s Detweiller Park as the No. 17 team in Illinois – with eight other top 20 teams at the starting line – and thanks to the team’s 29-second split between its first five runners, the Panthers captured third place at the prestigious meet despite not having a runner in the top 20.

The finish propelled Oswego to the No. 10 spot in the Class 3A rankings.

“It’s huge for us and it’s a

testament to the girls and what we’ve been trying to do the last few years. ... We didn’t really talk about place at all other than if we ran well, we could be in the top five or six,” Oswego girls’ head coach Eric Simon said. “You’re talking some of the best teams in the state down there and it was great. It really reinforces what we’re trying to do. We don’t have that one kid you’re talking about individually up there that’s going to place in the single-digits in a meet like that. We have a great pack.”

Glenbard West won the invite with 95 points, followed by Glenbard West (176) and Oswego (187) while Palatine and Maine South rounded out the top five in a giant field of 62 teams.

Oswego freshman Isabelle Christiansen was moved onto the varsity squad last week and made an immediate impact as

the Panthers’ top finisher, clocking in at 18:05 to place 21st overall. Senior Maddy Kammerer (18:15) finished 33rd, senior Allyson McLaughlin (18:18) placed 37th and sophomore Grace Pagone (18:31) was 48th while freshman Ava Weyrich (18:34) placed 52nd.

“We were just thrilled with the result from Saturday,” Simon said. “Our focus this year is a team-first mentality and we’ve really been stressing pack running. Isabelle just fed of our pack. Probably with about 400 to go, we had our top five within 10 seconds of each other and then they just went for it down the home stretch.”

The Oswego boys’ squad placed 13th overall with Sandburg, Neuqua Valley and York clinching the top three team spots.

Junior Bennett Peterson was

33rd overall with a time of 15:09 to lead the Panthers to the finish.

Sophomore Mitch Bradford (15:47) was 97th while junior Collin Boone (15:52), senior Owen Kelty (15:55) and junior David Gaytan (15:58) rounded out Oswego’s top five.

“That’s the best finish we’ve had in my time here,” Oswego boys’ head coach Dan Whipple said. “We may have separated a little more than a week prior, but our top five split was still a second faster.”

The Oswego boys will enter the MacNider Invite, hosted by Hoffman Estates at Harper College, while the girls will take the weekend off before the Niles West Invite on Oct. 3.

“Hoffman should be a good experience because there’s a bunch of good teams there,” Whipple said.

Marsh returns interception for TD in third • OSWEGO FOOTBALL Continued from page 20

Oswego fumbled the ball to start the second half, but regrouped to put together a 10play, 70-yard drive aided by a pass interference call on the Indians. Frank converted on thirdand-2 with a 10-yard touchdown pass to Robinson, who turned around and kicked his fourth of six extra points for the Panthers, who led 28-7 with 3:25 left in the third quarter.

“We’re into the conference and getting into our groove,” Oswego head coach Brian Cooney said. “The second half was much

better than the first half. Even though it was 21-7, we didn’t feel good about the type of 21-7 that we had. We felt it could be more.

Sometimes we play against ourselves and in the second half we didn’t do that. We did what we were supposed to do and kept going, which was nice to see.”

Oswego senior Chad Marsh intercepted Carnagio and returned the ball 79 yards for a touchdown with 1:40 to play in the third quarter.

The Panther defense was all over Carnagio, as senior Dylan Bielawski intercepted a first-quarter pass, senior Brennan Burdo had a pass deflection and senior Nick Jackson was

responsible for one of several sacks on the night.

“The last 10 yards felt like my legs were in cement and I wouldn’t have made it all the way if it wasn’t for the block set,” Marsh said of his interception return. “We definitely stepped up this game. If it wasn’t for that one brain fart we had, it would have been a shutout.

We have some things to fix, but it was impressive the way we came out tonight. I feel that was one of our best defensive performances and we can only go up from here.”

Frank (9-for-17,151 yards, 4 TDs, INT) scored on a 44-yard run – his fifth touchdown of

the night – to cap the score, 427, midway through the fourth quarter and send the Panther starters to the sidelines for the night.

“Offensively, we didn’t play very well. We didn’t do the things we were supposed to do,” Minooka head coach Paul Forsythe said. “We need to play better. We’re 3-1. We’ve got a lot of work to do. We’ll bounce back.

We got punched in the chin a little bit and we need to learn from it.”

Oswego will travel to Romeoville (1-3, 1-1 SPC) for Week 5 action before back-to-back home games against Oswego East (Oct. 2) and Plainfield East (Oct. 9).

PREP FOOTBALL: PLAINFIELD EAST 28, OSWEGO EAST 21

Oswego East fumbles Homecoming game

By KRISTIN SHARP sports@kendallcountynow.com Not only did Mother Nature ruin Oswego East’s Homecoming celebration on Friday night, but visiting Plainfield East played the spoiler on Saturday morning in the postponed Southwest Prairie Conference contest.

Two turnovers and a failed red zone drive stalled the Wolves and led to a 28-21 Plainfield East victory.

“Offensively, we’ve got to hang onto the football. We have a turnover on our first play, turnover in the fourth quarter – those are big,” Oswego East head coach Tyson LeBlanc said. “Our conference is tough and against good teams you can’t turn the ball over.”

Oswego East moved Friday night’s Homecoming game ahead by 90 minutes hoping to beat the predicted storms, but weather forced the game to be postponed to Saturday morning. Without a bus to take the Bengals back to Oswego East, the game was delayed another 30 minutes as the team arrived after the scheduled 9 a.m. kickoff.

“We haven’t won since Week 9 of last year, so it feels good,” Plainfield East head coach Mike Romeli said. “We came here last night, took the bus trip over and didn’t play. Our buses didn’t show up this morning and the game was delayed. Our kids stayed focused the whole time and played a

Plainfield East (1-3) converted two Oswego East turnovers into first-half points to take a 14-8 lead at intermission, which lasted well into the third quarter.

Oswego East jumped onto the scoreboard at the start of the second quarter when Kaelub Newman tackled the Plainfield East punter in the end zone as he tried to wrangle a botched snap, giving

the Wolves the safety.

Jack Borvan blocked another Plainfield East punt attempt to put Oswego East at the Bengals 1-yard line, setting up a 1-yard touchdown by Nik Wadsworth to give the Wolves an 8-7 lead with 7:52 to play in the first half.

Oswego East (2-2, 0-2 Southwest Prairie) took a 15-14 lead on a 11-play, 80-yard drive that ended with a 1-yard score from Wad-

sworth with 4:48 to go in the third.

The Wolves held the Bengals to three-and-out and Oswego East drove back down to the 1-yard line – but this time the Bengal defense buckled down for the stop.

Plainfield East used the momentum to put together its own red zone drive.

Quarterback Matthew Mazurkiewicz connected with Jalen Hutt twice for gains of 47 and 40

yards to put the Bengals at the Oswego East 16. Seven plays later, Mazurkiewicz threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Dylan Koch for a 20-15 lead.

Troy Mayon recovered an Oswego East fumble to set up another Bengal scoring drive – and Mayon (35 yards, nine carries) converted his own turnover with an eventual 2-yard run into the end zone for a 28-15 lead.

Quarterback James Kidd threw 4-for-4 on the next series to put Oswego East in the end zone in just 40 seconds, but Plainfield East blocked the extra point attempt as the Bengals held a 28-21 lead to the final horn.

Mazurkiewicz finished 13-for26 for 183 yards and three touchdowns. Oswego East was led by Kidd, who came into the game late in the first half for an injured Jaylon Banks (ankle) and went 14for-21 for 134 yards and one touchdown.

Oswego East will host Plainfield South (2-2) for Pink Out Night on Friday at 7 p.m. The Cougars won a 6-3 game over Plainfield North to improve to 2-0 in SPC play.

“Our guys have to find a way, our coaches ahve to find a way to play with a sense of urgency because our backs are against the wall. We have two of the better teams in our conference ahead on our schedule, and Plainfield South beat Plainfield East,” LeBlanc said.

PREP VOLLEYBALL

Panthers enter key stretch of conference play

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com The Oswego girls’ volleyball team is hoping a strong showing at the Glenbard West Invite can propel the Panthers into a successful run through Southwest Prairie Conference action.

The Panthers (5-10, 2-2 SPC) reached the consolation finals last Saturday in Glen Ellyn. No. 4 Glenbard West won its own tour-

nament with a 25-22, 25-17 win over Geneva.

Now, Oswego will enter a stretch of six consecutive SPC games before hosting its home invite on Oct. 10.

“We have a really good opportunity,” Oswego head coach Traci Weiss said. “We’ve been doing some really great things as a group. We’ve playing together much better as a team than I’ve seen them play all season and

things seem to be clicking for us. This is a huge section of our conference and every team is extremely competitive. There are no easy games. I’m really looking forward to it.

“This next week is really going to show us where we stand. If we can win these next three, it’s going to put us in a really good place.”

Oswego will travel to Plainfield South on Thursday before

hosting Plainfield North next Tuesday.

The second run through conference action begins on Oct. 1 against Plainfield Central.

In tournament play on Friday, Oswego opened pool play with a loss to Glenbard West 20-25, 1125, but rebounded with a 25-11, 25-4 win over Streamwood.

“Glenbard West is a really strong team. They have some really strong, big outside hitters

and we competed with them and we were right there with them all the way to the end,” Weiss said.

On Saturday, Oswego lost its morning game to Geneva 25-27, 20-25 and defeated Glenbard East 19-25, 26-24, 25-18 to reach the consolation finals against Fremd.

The Vikings defeated the Panthers 23-25, 25-17, 23-25. Senior Katelyn Burke was named to the All-Tournament team.

Panthers unstoppable in SPC QB Frank scores 5 TDs in Oswego’s 30th straight league victory

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com

No Southwest Prairie Conference team has found an answer for the Oswego football program in 30 straight games, and Minooka was the latest statistic in the Panthers’ win streak on Saturday night.

Oswego (3-1) scored its first two touchdowns in an 11-sec-

ond span, and the night would only get worse for Minooka as the Panthers went on to win 42-7, handing the Indians their first loss of the season.

“We just wanted to start quick. We came out slow against Providence and we came out slow against Batavia,” Oswego senior quarterback Steven Frank said. “We knew they could score fast and

they showed they could, so we just put it down.”

Frank capped a 14-play drive with a 22-yard touchdown pass to senior receiver Brice Robinson, and sophomore Dayne Millard recovered a Minooka fumble on the first play from scrimmage to set up a 19-yard touchdown reception by senior Conor Morton just seconds later.

Minooka responded with a 78-yard touchdown pass from quarterback John Carnagio to Quintin Durov, who caught the ball near midfield and sprinted along the Indians’ sideline untouched with 3:32 remaining in the opening quarter. But the 14-7 score was as close as Minooka would get to Oswego.

The Indians turned the ball over three times on a pair of

interceptions and a fumble and only reached the red zone once more after its lone touchdown.

Oswego took a 21-7 lead just before halftime when senior Erik Vargas Jr. chewed up nearly 25 yards on four carries and junior Elliott Pipken caught a 36-yard touchdown pass on third down.

BOYS SOCCER

Shutout loss snaps Oswego’s win streak

By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com Hoping to continue the energy from the two-game winning streak at the Pepsi Showdown, the Oswego boys’ soccer team came ready to play in Tuesday’s Southwest Prairie Conference game against visiting Minooka.

One goal was all the Indians needed to stop Oswego’s momentum, striking in the first half and holding the Panthers in the 1-0 shutout.

The Panthers are now 3-7 overall and 1-3 in the conference after posting back-to-back wins against Downers Grove North and East Aurora.

“We were so fired up after Downers Grove North, but then we took it for granted,” Oswego senior Luke Moran said. “We didn’t come out here and play the same way. We shot ourselves in the foot. We didn’t do what we were supposed to do.”

Minooka’s goal was scored by Matt Schofield on an assist from

Jake Westerhoff with 7:17 remaining in the first half. It was only the second shot the Indians took at that point in the contest.

Oswego attempted more shots than Minooka in the first half and were not able to capitalize on at least three solid scoring chances in the second half.

“We made some bad choices and forced some things we probably shouldn’t have forced,” Oswego head coach Brian Falli said. “When we worked the ball and worked things, we had some

opportunities, but we didn’t take them. We were lackadaisical. We didn’t have the effort on the field we’ve had in the past couple of games. It’s a learning experience for these guys, but at the same time, we are far enough into the season where it shouldn’t be an issue.”

Oswego’s next three games are against Geneva, Plainfield North in SPC action and Marmion.

Oswego 2, Downers Grove North 1: On Saturday, Oswego won on

penalty kicks (4-2) in the last

game of the Pepsi Showdown for the Panthers.Oswego’s goal was scored in the first half by Alfredo Bernes (assist by Nick Kearns).

The penalty kicks were made by Carlos Contreras, Luke Moran, JC Mora and Ibarra. Nick Kearns had five saves, including two in the shootout.

Oswego 3, East Aurora 2: All three Panther goals were scored in the first half, including one from Ibarra, the Tomcats in their own goal and Mitch Kearby. Kearns posted five saves.

A small bird watches (at left) as a wild turkey walks in the grass near the intersection of Routes 71 and 47 in Yorkville last spring. Wild turkey sightings have become increasingly common in Kendall County in recent years.

The return of the turkey

Big birds find welcoming home along Fox River and even highways

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com Over the last few months, many motorists passing through the busy Route 30 and Orchard Road intersection in the village of Montgomery have been seeing a pair of wild turkeys standing in the grass along the highway.

Some motorists – presumably struck in traffic – have even photographed the birds and posted the photos on social media.

But what are turkeys doing in Kendall County and how common are the birds?

Montgomery Village President Matt Brolley says he has seen the birds daily on his commute to work and welcomes them to the village.

“They’re just chilling,” Brolley said of the birds. “I saw one yesterday trying to cross the street. He was in the second lane and I don’t know if he made it across.”

“It’s probably the one benefit to Orchard and Route 30 being a horrible intersection is that when you are waiting in traffic

you can see these turkeys dancing around next to you,” he said.

Brolley said he has been trying to come up with names for the turkeys and someone on social media suggested “Thanksgiving” and “Christmas.” “[Kendall County Board member] Scott Gryder [of Oswego] said you have to call one of them Monty,” Brolley said.

Joe Rogus, a district forest biologist for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, said the agency last restocked the wild turkey in Kendall County about 10 to 15 years ago around Silver Springs State Park near Plano.

The birds that people are seeing now in Montgomery and elsewhere in the county are evidence of the success of that initiative.

“They have done very well ever since, their numbers are increasing and there is good habitat up there,” Rogus said of the birds. “They tend to co-exist with people quite well so even if there are homes in the woods they are very adaptive.”

Adding to the birds’ ability to survive is the fact that they

really don’t have a lot of natural predators.

According to Rogus, about 100 years ago wild turkeys were almost hunted to extinction.

Today as they make a comeback, turkeys can be hunted twice a year in the spring and the fall.

While Rogus stressed that turkey hunting is not allowed at Silver Springs, it is something that they may consider in the future.

“The Fox River corridor is excellent habitat for them. They do very well in areas that have dense woods. There may be some houses in there but you got ag fields and the river,” Rogus said.

The bird is also quick, with a top speed of 12 miles per hour, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

One myth that Rogus and other wildlife experts debunk is the idea that turkeys can’t fly.

“Once they are adults they fly very well and roost in trees at night,” Rogus said. “Turkeys are excellent flyers.”

He added that turkeys have

the ability to fly distances from a quarter of a mile to one mile.

Brook McDonald, president of the Conservation Foundation, a local organization dedicated to preserving open space, also confirmed that he has seen the turkeys as he kayaks the Fox River and will occasionally see them fly over the river to cross it.

“They are powerful fliers but they look awkward when they fly because they are so big,” he said.

Rogus and McDonald say they don’t know exactly how many of turkeys are now roaming Kendall County but they estimate the number could be in the hundreds with heavier concentrations in wooded areas along the Fox River.

Like many other wildlife species, McDonald explained that they are learning to adapt to being around people and they are expanding into the natural habitats set aside in parks and forest preserves.

“You’ve got Cooper’s hawks and red-tailed hawks in people’s backyards now which you would have never seen 20 or 30 years

ago,” he said. “We’ve set aside lots of natural habitats.”

Rogus and McDonald posit that the turkeys hanging around Orchard Road and Route 30 in Montgomery may be foraging for insects or seeds.

“The strips of grass between the road and cornfields is becoming more and more important habitat – a lot of mice and small mammals live in those areas,” McDonald said.

Rogus adds that turkeys have a range of roughly one mile that they travel around their roost.

Their nests are preyed on and eggs are taken from them but the poults, or young turkeys, grow quickly and are bigger than other birds.

“The mortality rates on the poults is rather low because they are a big, hardy bird,” Rogus said.

Domestic turkeys differ from wild turkeys in appearance. Wild turkeys tend to be a rustic brown color while domestic turkeys tend to be paler.

“They are typically white like the Butterball ones,” he said.

JOYCE E. ZITT

Born: Dec. 22, 1931 Died: Sept. 17, 2015 Joyce E. Cockriel Zitt, 83, of Yorkville, IL passed away Thursday, September 17, 2015, at Rush-Copley Medical Center in Aurora, IL, surrounded by her family.

She was born December 22, 1931, the daughter of Matthew and Isabelle (Baadte) Harker, in Langford, SD, but Joyce lived most of her life in Kendall County, IL. Joyce graduated from Yorkville High School and later married Carl Cockriel on September 30, 1950, in Aurora.

Together they raised their family on Lee Street in Plano, which would be home until after Carl passed in 1985.

Joyce was a member of St. Mary Catholic Church in Plano, IL for decades where she and Carl raised their children with commitment to practice of their faith through worship and Catholic education. Joyce was a faithful believer and servant to Jesus, shown quietly in her decades of volunteering as an organist, religious education teacher, and preschool aide. She also took great pride in her 16 years of work as a dental assistant and then as a seamstress.

Joyce later married James C. Zitt on August 23, 2003, a second chance at happiness for them both, after losing spouses.

They were married at St. Mary Catholic Church where they were both long-time parishioners. In 2010, they began attending St. Patrick Catholic Church in Yorkville which was much closer to their farm south of Yorkville. When they were newlyweds, Joyce often joked that she and Jim had been married for many years, just not to each other (referencing the number of years they were each married to their dearly departed first spouses).

She is survived by her loving husband, James Zitt; one daughter, Mary (Dan) Bohr; one son, David Cockriel of Plano; four grandchildren, Sarah (Brandon) Walsh of Plano and Leslie (Mike) Faltz of Sandwich, Stacy (Kevin) Jungkans of Millington, Melissa Durakis (John) of Plano. Joyce is

placed in handcuffs and he refused to identify himself, the reports said. Bond was set at $3,000 and a warrant has been issued.

• Michael J. Rexrode, 29, of the 2000 block of Pauline Place, Plano, was charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance in connection with an incident Aug. 22 in Plano, Kendall County Court documents said. According to reports, Rexrode was found with a substance containing cocaine. A Sept. 29 court date was set.

• Megan K. Vicory, 34, of the 0-99 block of Marnel Road, Oswego, was charged with unlawful possession and delivery of a controlled substance in connection with an incident Aug. 25 in Kendall County, Kendall County Court documents said. According to reports, Vicory was found with a substance containing cocaine.

MARRIAGE LICENSES also survived by eight cherished great grandchildren, Rocco and William Walsh; Kaleb, Kamden, Kollin, Kassidy, and Konnor Jungkans; and Lily Durakis.

Joyce was filled with joy and laughter when her grandchildren, and later her great grandchildren, were around. She loved to spend time with them and tell stories and show pictures of them to others.

She is survived by one brother, Anthony David (Mary) Harker of Dayton, OH. In addition, Joyce is survived by her ten step-children, Margie Zitt, Jim Zitt, Tony Zitt, Tom Zitt, Ann Kohut, Tim Zitt, Terry Zitt, Jeanne Keller, Rosy Gundersen, and Andy Zitt; their spouses and families.

Joyce was loved and will be greatly missed by her family, friends, and Church community.

She was a great example to the family of how to be a wife, mother, and child of God. Joyce was so proud of the family she raised, and the families they in turn raised. There is no better example of kindness, selflessness, and love than her, because of the way she treated others.

The word “no” wasn’t in her vocabulary. In times of need, people would turn to Joyce because she was there to do the Lord’s work by helping any way she could. Always on the go, Joyce didn’t know how to slow down, although she was constantly being told to do so.

Even in times of tragedy, Joyce remained a pillar of strength because of her faith.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her first husband, Carl; and two sons, Thomas and Steve Cockriel; and one brother and sister-in-law, Blaine and Jean Harker.

Funeral Mass was held at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, September 21, 2015, at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Yorkville with Rev. Matt Lamoureux officiating.

Burial will be at a later date at St. Patrick’s Catholic Cemetery in Bristol. Visitation was from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 20, 2015, at Turner-Eighner Funeral Home in Plano with a prayer service at 7:30 p.m.

Memorials may be directed to St. Patrick Catholic Church in Yorkville.

Walk For Hope coming up in Oct. SHAW MEDIA Mutual Ground, a local domestic and sexual violence services agency, will host its eighth annual Walk For Hope on Saturday, Oct. 17, at Fabyan Forest Preserve in Geneva.

Walk for Hope is Mutual Ground’s largest fundraising event of the year with more than 250 walkers and 25 sponsors. Every dollar raised helps Mutual Ground provide services essential to victims’ recovery. This year’s Walk for Hope is even more important to the sustainability of Mutual Ground, as the state of Illinois has still not balanced its budget, leaving Mutual Ground and other agencies providing vital services without the funding they receive from DHS.

The event will begin at 9:30 a.m. with walker registration starting at 8 a.m. Friends, families and friendly dogs are welcome to come and join walkers or cheer for their favorite team. Local nonprofit partner Rover Rescue will match Mutual Ground supporters with dogs in need of forever homes as well as host a dog costume contest.

Face painting, massages, snacks and more will be available to walkers and their families. Jimmy John’s of Oswego and Yorkville will be providing a light lunch.

There is still time to create or join a team or donate to a current walker by visiting mutualground. org. Businesses interested in sponsoring this event may contact Michelle at 630-897-0084, ext. 101.

Seasonal Allergies

Affecting Your Life?

some things

JUST FIT 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.

WCC conservation work lauded SHAW MEDIA At its Sept. 16 board meeting, Waubonsee Community College was recognized for conservation efforts by Brook McDonald, president and CEO of The Conservation Foundation. Waubonsee recently earned Conservation@ Work certification from the foundation for making a positive environmental impact on its campuses.

The criteria for the program requires that the property have native plants for the benefit of

water conservation and wildlife; that there is clear evidence of stewardship of land; that water on the site is managed effectively to reduce runoff; that property along creeks, rivers or a pond is managed to reduce erosion and pollutants; and that reduced use of chemicals is recommended.

Once certified, businesses receive a sign recognizing their efforts and oneon-one advice about ways to make an even greater positive environmental impact on the property.

The foundation has helped

nearly 1,000 land owners improve their properties through these programs.

McDonald said that as an educational institution, Waubonsee has lived up to its responsibility to demonstrate sustainable practices. The recognition is for the Sugar Grove, Plano and Aurora campuses.

“Their native landscaping is not only beautiful, but has functional value to improve drainage and water quality, and provide wildlife and pollinator species a haven so they can live and survive,” he said.

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

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you could be suffering from knee arthritis.

A beautiful spring begins with planting done this fall bulb growth.

Consider the physical location. Plant a few bulbs near spaces you see every day. Part of the joy of spring bulbs is seeing those first green signs of spring emerge from the cold ground.

Daffodils are a must for the Illinois garden not just because of the wide variety of shapes, sizes, and color combinations available, but because they are poisonous.

This means that nothing will eat them. Also daffodils multiply and naturalize beautifully, without having to be divided often.

Tulips are beautiful choices for the spring garden, but they are also a tasty treat for local wildlife, such as rabbits, squirrels, and deer. In heavy clay soils, tulips tend to be relatively short-lived.

After about three or four years, it is not uncommon for tulips to begin to decline, first failing to bloom and eventually dying off.

Consider planting some of the lesser known spring bulbs that are attractive in their own right. Galanthus, or snowdrops, are one of the earliest-blooming spring bulbs, often blooming with snow still on the ground.

Scilla siberica, or Siberian squill, has small blue flowers and is only 6 inches tall, but packs a big punch when planted en masse. Iris histroides, I. reticulate, and I. danfordiae are some other early bloomers to consider for their delicate display.

When planting bulbs, a good rule of thumb is to plant bulbs two to three times as deep as they are tall. Mea-

sure the depth of planting from the bottom of the bulb.

Plant bulbs right side up.

The “right side” is generally more pointed than the root end. If this distinction is not obvious, plant the bulb sideways and Mother Nature

will sort it out.

When purchasing bulbs, choose unblemished, firm bulbs with little or no new growth. Keep in mind that for a given species, larger bulbs will produce larger or more flowers than smaller

bulbs. Bargain bulbs are no bargain if they are small for their species.

For information on planting spring bulbs, check out the U of I Extension’s “Bulbs and More” website at www. extension.illinois.edu/bulbs.

Have you ever admired the vibrant colors of spring flowers and wondered how to create this beauty in your own landscape? “The time to plant for spring bloomers is now,” said University of Illinois Extension horticulture educator Jennifer Nelson.

“This is your friendly reminder that fall is the proper time to plant spring bulbs,” she said.

Nelson offers tips for planting spring bulbs: Plant in well-drained soil.

Clay soils commonly found in Illinois gardens often do not drain well. Excess water in the soil surrounding bulbs promotes rot and will eventually kill the bulbs. Improve drainage in heavy clay soil with organic materials such as compost or shredded leaves to encourage healthy

Summer vacation is just about over for our houseplants that we set out last spring. Now the decision needs to be made of what comes back in the home for the winter. We generally consider any plant that cannot survive outside in cooler temperatures a “houseplant,” since many of them have a tropical background or are from a hardiness zone warmer than ours.

For many, we take them outside to let Mother Nature nurture them back to a better state of health, knowing that once back inside, they will be in a less than a perfect growing location. You may have set them out on the ground under shrubs or evergreens, put them on the edge of the patio or next to the home.

Since the houseplants are not frost tolerant, the best practice is to get them acclimated to being indoors long before we have really cool temperatures outdoors.

To start the process, each houseplant should be looked at to see if it is one you really want back in the house. Any plants not headed back inside should be added to the compost bin. Clean up the houseplants by removing or pruning out anything dead, and by removing any weeds that may have

DOWN THE GARDEN PATH Richard Hentschel sprouted in the pots. You may be surprised how much they have grown, having had plenty of sunlight, rain and, in general, just from being outdoors.

This is the time to adjust their size by cutting back or pinching the newer growth, which will help the transition indoors.

The next step is to deal with any insects that have found a home on the houseplant or more likely in the soil in the pot. In the plant itself, there could be spiders using the plant as a place to capture their prey or other insects using the plant as a resting site.

In the potting soil there can be earwigs, or those little armadillo looking creatures that roll up in a ball when disturbed that commonly are called pill bugs, and even ants can set up home in the pot.

All these are natural and expected, except we really don’t want them indoors. Before resorting to a pesticide, try a forceful stream of water on the foliage to dislodge insects.

Also try flushing the pot with water, which usually drives out any insects

that have entered through the drainage holes. If you have found ants, you may need to fully repot the houseplant, shaking all the soil off and in the process leaving the ants behind, and then use a fresh potting soil when you reset the plant.

The last part of the process is moving those houseplants that have been in strong sunlight to locations that are shadier. This will start to get them used to lower light levels that they will have once inside.

Ideally, the houseplants should be back indoors before the furnace starts to run. If you need a target date to get this done, use Sept. 30.

FALL FLAVOR

Maple Walnut Cookies will delight friends, family By the editors of Relish Magazine

Want to be a smart cookie?

Here are some cookie-baking tips from the Relish test kitchen: • Use self-rising flour, which has leavening agents and salt in premeasured proportions.

No need to be measuring out baking powder and soda.

• Make sure your ingredients are room temperature.

• Use an insulated baking pan.

• Don’t “fluff” the creamed mixture. This whips too much air into the dough. Beat just until creamy.

Maple Walnut Cookies Cookie ingredients: 1 cup butter 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup brown sugar 2 large eggs 1 cup whole-wheat flour 1 cup self-rising white flour (plus ½ to 1 cup more if needed) 2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts 1 teaspoon maple flavoring 1 teaspoon salt

Icing ingredients: 4 tablespoons butter 2 cups powdered sugar 1 teaspoon maple flavoring 3 to 4 tablespoons milk Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Combine butter, sugars, eggs, flavoring, and salt and beat until just combined. Add flours, 1 cup at a time. If dough is sticky to the touch, add more self-rising flour in 1/2-cup increments until smooth. Stir in walnuts.

Scoop onto a baking sheet one dozen at a time. Bake in center of oven 10 to 13 minutes, until cookies are puffy and beginning to turn tan. Remove from oven and let cool. Meanwhile, mix icing ingredients until texture is smooth and thick. Add more milk or sugar to achieve a creamy texture. Ice tops of cookies.

Makes 2 dozen.

• When adding the flour, beat the mixture just until the flour disappears.

• Remove your cookies from the oven just before they look done. A tan cookie will be more dense and pliable than a golden cookie.

• Use a small or medium scoop to measure dough.

• Make sure your baking sheet cools down before scooping a second batch onto it to keep your cookies from spreading too much.

• A metal cake spatula is better for removing cookies from the pan – it’s less sticky than a rubber cookie spatula.

The Norsk Museum’s Norwegian Timeline is a 25-foot banner covering an entire wall, providing a chronological journey from the Viking Age to present day Norway.

Norwegian Timeline featured at museum The Norsk Museum in Norway, Illinois, completed a major renovation this summer. One of the highlights is the Norwegian Timeline.

The Norwegian Timeline is a 25-foot banner covering an entire wall, providing a chronological journey from the Viking Age to present day Norway. The timeline was made possible by a contribution from Olaf Gjovik,

owner of Gjovik Auto in Sandwich.

Olaf’s father, Olaf Gjøvik, came to America in 1901 from Tromsø, Norway.

The Norsk Museum is nine miles northeast of Ottawa on Route 71 at 3656 E. 2631st Road in Norway. It is open from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday from June through September.
