Dist. 88 to lead special ed co-op Plano schools still studying cost of partnership; could serve 130-150 students By LYLE R. ROLFE news@kendallcountynow.com Four area school districts may soon be sharing the costs of educating students with special needs, according to Dr. Hector Garcia, Plano School superintendent. The Plano District 88 School Board has unanimously approved

an agreement to form a new cooperative. The agreement outlines the proposed participating school districts, as well as the structure, membership, financing, governance and other basis requirements for the cooperative. Garcia said the cooperative is being set up with Plano as the fiscal agent and host.

Illinois school districts have a choice of two ways for educating special-needs students in their districts. These are students who have IEPs (individual education plans) based on their specific needs. They range in age from elementary school through high school and some into their early 20s.

Garcia said every school district must provide education for special-needs students of all ages and for ones who may live in a neighboring district that does not have a program. This includes students with autism to those with emotional disorders to cover the full spectrum of special needs. Every school district must ei-

ther have an in-house special education program or belong to a cooperative according to state law. And the teachers must be trained to teach students with special needs. Plano had been a member of the Kendall County Special Education

Barrels and brats – on a roll PLANO RECORD German food, music heritage and beer abounded last weekend in downtown Plano with the 11th annual Wurst Kitchen Oktoberfest. The event has become a yearly staple here, with events under the big tent featuring a menu including schnitzel, roast pork, kassler rippchen, bratwurst, potato salad, sauerkraut, strudel and more. Ed Schleining, event sponsor and owner of the Wurst Kitchen Sausage Co. in Plano and Aurora, noted that all of the food was prepared in their own kitchens. The event also included German polka music, a Miss Oktoberfest contest and the ever popular “chicken dance.”

AP: Hastert case nearing plea deal SHAW MEDIA Attorneys for former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Plano, have been talking with prosecutors about a potential plea deal in Hastert’s case, the Associated Press reported on Monday. The judge set an Oct. 15 deadline for updates, according to the AP. Hastert served for 20 years as the U.S. representative of the 14th Congressional District. The AP reported the disclosure came during a hearing in federal court in Chicago that Hastert didn’t attend. It was regarding the May indictment that alleged the former speaker agreed to pay $3.5 million to an individual to hide past misconduct. The indictment states that Hastert “agreed to provide Individual A $3.5 million in order to compensate for and conceal his prior misconduct against Individual A.”

AP and other media outlets reported the payments were intended to cover up claims of sexual misconduct that happened years ago. The U.S. Attorney’s Office charged Hastert with “one count each of structuring currency transactions to evade Currency Transaction Reports and making a false statement to the FBI in an indictment returned by a Dennis federal Grand Jury,” Hastert according to federal law enforcement officials. Hastert, who remains free on bond, is specifically accused of dodging the law that requires that cash withdrawals of $10,000 or greater be reported to the federal government via a Currency Transaction Report. According to the federal indictment of Hastert, the law “required domestic financial institutions to prepare

and file with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network a Currency Transaction Report (Form 104) for any transaction or series of transactions involving currency of more than $10,000.” The federal indictment explained that, in 2010, Hastert met with someone identified in the indictment only as “Individual A,” and that the individual, a Yorkville resident, had known Hastert “most of Individual A’s life.” It states that the person met with Hastert “multiple times and that, during one of the meetings, the person ‘discussed past misconduct by [Hastert] against Individual A that had occurred years earlier.’” Little else is known about the specifics of the government’s case against Hastert since Judge Thomas Durkin agreed to a request by the U.S. Attorney’s Office to keep materials secret, with prosecutors citing law enforcement and privacy interests.

“The discovery to be provided by the government in this case includes sensitive information, the unrestricted dissemination of which could adversely affect law enforcement interests and the privacy interests of third parties,” U.S. Attorney Zachary T. Fardon wrote in his request to Durkin in June. After the case is over, the order also states that “all the materials and copies made thereof shall be disposed of in one of three ways, unless otherwise ordered by the court. The materials may be destroyed, returned to the government, or retained in defense counsel’s case file.” A 1960 graduate of Oswego High School, Hastert taught and coached wrestling at Yorkville High School from the mid-1960s through 1980, when he was elected to serve in the Illinois General Assembly. He was elected to his first term in Congress in 1986.

Newark, Lisbon school districts being sought to join cooperative • CO-OP

Continued from page 1 Cooperative until several months ago, when Oswego withdrew and the co-op was dissolved. Since then, Plano school board members considered forming their own cooperative and asked Yorkville, the Newark elementary and high school districts and the Lisbon elementary district, which were in the original cooperative, to join them. Garcia said Yorkville considered joining, but has since decided not to. He did not know what that district’s plans are for the future, but it could still join the new cooperative, he said. By joining a cooperative, districts can save money by sharing the cost with other members. Garcia told board members the new cooperative will be named the Plano Area Special Education Cooperative and will focus on maintaining or enhancing the current services and programs for every child in the member districts. The cooperative’s executive board will consist of the superintendent of each participating school district or their designee. The administrative cost is proposed to be divided among the four districts based on the number of

far before the cost of transporting students becomes too expensive,” he said. All money comes from state and federal special education funds. If the funds were not available, the districts would probably shut down he said. “But,” he added, “I have never heard of any politician talking about not funding special education.” He said each district will pay based on the number of students it has in the cooperative. These funds then become the operating budget for the cooperative. Based on current information, officials are estimat-

ing student enrollment of 130 to 150. Students are not charged to attend any school in the cooperative. Officials are hoping to have the application prepared and ready to present to the state by next April. And Garcia said they would like to have the cooperative in operation by July 1, 2016. Plano has hired an attorney who has prepared cooperatives for two other school districts to be sure it is done according to state guidelines, he said. The curriculum is determined by the cooperative and is designed to meet the needs of the students.

Officials are hoping the teachers who were with the former cooperative will join the new Plano group. Garcia could not estimate at this time how many teachers will be needed because it will depend on how many students there will be and how much attention they will need. The more needs a student has, the fewer students can be in a class, he noted. Once the cooperative is approved by the state and in operation, any member district can withdraw from it by giving the executive board 18 months notice, Garcia said.

students each would expect to have. Using the present number of special-needs students in the member districts, each Newark district would pay 4 percent of the total cost, Lisbon 2 percent and Plano 90 percent. However, this could change depending on the number of special-needs students each school district would have at the time the cooperative starts. Garcia estimated Plano’s cost to be $2.5 million to $3 million, but this could be reduced if more districts would join the coop. “We’ll be talking to others in the area but we can go only so

School Board may interview architects Lots of projects on the horizon

“We’re talking about things as little as replacing the trim around a window to replacing a roof on a building or a boiler in a school. We want the firm to look at everything in the buildings and we want to keep our students and employees safe, warm and dry.”

By LYLE R. ROLFE news@kendallcountynow.com Plano District 88 School Board members are considering talking to several new architectural firms to see how they might compare with the firm they have been working with for about 10 years. The current firm, Concept 3 from Villa Park, was hired at that time to do a facilities audit of all district property to see what repairs might be needed in the future, when they should be done and the estimated cost. These would be repairs or changes that would be needed before conditions of buildings, boilers, roofs, and other items get too bad and expensive to repair, Superintendent Dr. Hector Garcia told board members. He said these improvements are needed to keep the district’s property in good working condition. Garcia told board members the administration is asking for approval to start the process to review proposals and possibly hire another architectural firm. The request received unanimous approval, but no date was set for receiving proposals. He said the essential characteristics they are looking for in an architectural firm include the ability to do their own engi-

Emily G. Johns School in the Plano School District. The School Board is considering hiring a new architectural firm that would provide consulting services on all of the district’s buildings. neering, be proactive communicators, provide project supervision throughout all construction phases and respond to the district when dealing with concerns or problems. “We’re talking about things as little as replacing the trim around a window to replacing a roof on a building or a boiler in a school. We want the firm to look at everything in the buildings and we want to keep our students and employees safe, warm and dry,” he said.

Garcia said the present audit, which was updated last year, outlined a variety of projects that will need to be done in the next four to five years. He noted that the board members include knowledgeable people who can help determine the best firm to hire. The present architectural firm’s staff includes a mechanical engineer and experts in other fields as well as architects in the company, he said. “We don’t want a firm that would have to

outsource some of the work.” He said the firm who will be hired should have employees who are trained in all aspects of construction, assessing all parts of buildings, heating and cooling equipment, and outside areas such as driveways and parking lots in the district. Any fees as well as the cost of project repairs would be paid for from the district’s Maintenance and Operations Fund, and the architects’ fee is usually included in the project cost, he added.

“This is the perfect time to consider multiple architectural firms as we start to discuss numerous maintenance projects throughout the district. The current architectural firm has served the district well in the past, but it is always prudent to consider other options in light of the amount of money and time that is dedicated to any facilities project,” he said. An ad hoc committee of administrators and board members will be named to start the process of advertising for prospective firms to submit proposals. They would be reviewed by the ad hoc committee members, who would make a recommendation to the board. Garcia did not say when they expect to receive the architects’ proposals.

OPINION

Thursday, October 1, 2015 Plano Record • Page 4

Intervention was ‘nonsense from the beginning’ In the late summer of 1919, the nation was looking forward to getting back to what passed for normalcy in those days. World War I had ended with the armistice signed between the Allies and Germany and its allies that went into effect on Nov. 11, 1918. By the summer of 1919, the young men and women who had gone off to war were beginning to trickle back home. On Aug. 27, the Kendall County Record reported from Oswego that: “A reception for the return of soldiers will be given in the parlors of the Oswego Prairie church Thursday evening of this week.” But while local folks were looking forward to welcoming most of the county’s soldiers, sailors, and marines back home, there continued to be a question concerning the end of fighting due to the war. In July 1918, in response to a request from France and England, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson had authorized dispatching 5,000 U.S. Army troops to northern Russia. The American North Russia Expeditionary Force was to support their British and French allies by controlling the Russian port of Arkhangelsk, where tons of military supplies delivered for use by the Russian Army were still on the docks. After the Russian Civil War broke out, Russia withdrew from the allied pact, and Bolsheviks

REFLECTIONS Roger Matile were threatening to seize the military supplies at Arkhangelsk for use against their countrymen. In addition to guarding the supplies, the expeditionary force’s goals were to support troops of the Czechoslovak Legions and other units still loyal to the old imperial Russian government, who had been fighting against Germany and who were now marooned inside Russia. The Czech troops were reportedly trying to exit the country, but had been trapped by the civil war. There was considerable grumbling when the troops were initially dispatched, and that grew to a roar after the Armistice was signed. By late summer 1919, the deployment of troops to Russia had lost virtually all the public support it may have originally had. The U.S. troops who arrived at Murmansk and Arkhangelsk in the late summer of 1918 were welcomed by the Murmansk Soviet and the local Communist leader, Leon Trotsky, plus the Allied British and French troops already there. However, it didn’t take long for the wheels to come off the effort and political infighting to break out among the allies while

With Armistice Day come and gone, a British unit refused to fight in February 1919, pointing out that World War I was over. A French battalion followed their lead, as did a U.S. Army company in mid-March. The U.S. troops complained that not only was the war was over, but the Germans had been defeated, and the actions they were being ordered to undertake were in contravention of their own government’s policies. By June, President Wilson ordered all U.S. troops withdrawn from Arkhangelsk after they’d suffered 235 dead in the police action. But meanwhile, 8,000 addition-

al U.S. troops had been shipped to Vladivostok, Siberia, during the summer and fall of 1918 with the mission of a) not taking sides in the increasingly violent civil war and b) aiding the well-traveled Czechoslovak Legion by protecting railroads leading east from the port. Not only did the doughboys have to contend with White Russian and Red Army fighters, but also with their putative allies, including 70,000 Imperial Japanese troops who were out for plunder and conquest. The U.S. troops gradually came to despise the Japanese troops as much as their Russian antagonists. The mood of the U.S. electorate in the summer of 1919 was restive. People wanted the troops home, and wanted them home immediately. The Midwest wasn’t

100-percent sold on fighting Germany in the first place; the whole idea of fighting Russians after the war was over was considered absurd. In the Record on July 2, 1919, editor Hugh R. Marshall complained that: “The hope that our soldiers will all be out of Europe soon must be abandoned. Secretary of War [Newton] Baker has issued a special appeal to young men to enlist in the army for service in Europe and bleak Siberia. How long, oh Lord! how long, will it be until our ‘democratic’ president steps out of the role of Czar long enough to let his ‘subjects’ know why he is keeping our soldiers in Siberia. Do we owe that country anything?” By late August, parents of Illinois soldiers serving in Siberia had had more than enough. As Marshall reported in the Record’s Aug. 27, 1919, edition: “Having no hope that President Wilson will act favorably upon their appeal to bring their boys home from Siberia, Illinois mothers and fathers have taken their case direct to the House foreign affairs committee. Chairman of the committee Porter says ‘there is absolutely no justification in law’ for sending our troops to Siberia, and that ‘the time has come to challenge this extraordinary use of the army.’ Wilson never saw fit to lay out his reasoning for sending troops

FORUM PADS needs your help

To the Editor: Kendall County Public Action to Deliver shelter (PADS) needs your help. Our entire PADS organization, from the Board of Directors to the shift workers, is made up of volunteers. The shelter program is totally dependent on 600 volunteers who staff the shelter sites one time each month. Approximately 20 volunteers are needed to work each night, in four hour shifts, between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. for six months. The 2015-2016 PADS program needs approximately 100 more volunteers in order to open the doors to the homeless starting Oct. 18. If you are interested in learning about PADS you are invited to attend an information meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 6 at 6:30 p.m. at Harvest New Beginnings, 5315 Douglas Road, Oswego. 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, volunteers have provided

5,794 “overnight stays”, served 17,369 meals, and given information to homeless guests to link them to much needed help from local social service agencies. We hope you will come and listen to the program on Oct. 6 at Harvest New Beginnings to see if you can commit four hours of your time once a month for just six months to keep the PADS program open. The PADS program hopes that others will be moved to share their compassion and kindness with the homeless who will be guests of PADS this winter.

Public spending on parks unnecessary

To the Editor: In this time of budget crises, cuts to essential services and looming tax increases, it may be appropriate to question the need for our numerous local parks, forest preserves, prairie restoration areas, etc., let alone state and federal parks. An example of unnecessary public expenditure is the Arsenal bison re-introduction.

When the Army ceased using this location, it was turned over to various park entities. After years of delay, one use for about 6,000 acres was dreamed up by park officials – raising bison to determine the prairie species of plants likely to have existed prior to removal of the buffalo herds. This effort apparently affords a livelihood for a number of park employees. To avoid stressing the animals, visitors are excluded. For thousands of years, buffalo herds moved north and east as far as western Pennsylvania in summer, drifting back west and south to Texas in winter. Herds protected themselves from wolves and Indian predators by bulls facing outward, ringing cows and calves. Estimates of their numbers: 15 to 50 million. Does this resemble enclosing a 10-square-mile pasture for a score or so of animals? There were no bison in this area in winter. How realistic is this “experiment”? Visitors will cause irreparable harm? Over the years, donations, referenda, taxes and grants have enabled Chicago-area park interests to acquire hundreds of parcels of land requiring maybe a thousand employees and contractors for their upkeep. Kendall

County alone must have 20-30 parcels, many unused and, from a prairie is now 10 to 15 percent wooded. Every acre of “forest preserve” which was initially prairie could raise crops, supporting farm families and providing revenue instead of requiring tax revenue. The private sector can provide recreation. We do not need public spending on parks and forest preserves. Alphonse I. Johnson Newark

Heed stop signs

To the Editor: There are plenty of reasons to write regarding federally-related “news” items this week, but I would rather relay my thoughts on two local news items from the Sept. 17 Record. One item involved the three-vehicle crash on Route 52 involving a semi and two other vehicles. I knew someone called to the scene following the accident and the reports at the time varied widely. The Record report was misleading on one detail: the Nissan traveling southbound on Grove Road had not “failed to yield to the tractor trailer” but failed to stop. Semi drivers often tend to be painted as bullies on

the road. The article should have made it clear that there is a stop sign at that intersection, which would have required a stop before proceeding (and hence, yielding). It is misleading and dangerous to point a reader in the wrong direction. Just a change in wording would have been in order. The other news item catching my attention on the same page was about a Plano High School grad who died in a crash at Millington and Rogers Roads. Again, if you are not familiar with the intersection, Rogers Road must stop at Millington Road. Millington Road travels from the south side of Sandwich down to Millington and is a through road with all side roads stopping. The driver on Millington Road was discovered as being under the influence of alcohol at the time. But, again, the paper, possibly quoting Sandwich Fire Chief Don Rimgale’s words, stated it “appeared that Rodriguez did not stop at the stop sign on Millington Road at the intersection.” This is misleading as it also now appears there is a stop sign on Millington Road. There isn’t. The stop sign is, and has been, on Rogers Road. In the Route 52 report, it

states the driver failed to yield to the truck, allowing the reader to pursue the thought that the truck was somehow responsible. In the Millington Road case, the Millington Road driver was found under the influence but also ticketed for failure to reduce speed. When have you ever traveled a through road, like Route 52 or Millington Road, and felt you had to reduce speed at every intersection so you might avoid a ticket if the person pulled out? The roads are both posted with 55 mph speeds. Yes, we need to practice defensive driving. I will look with suspicion at drivers crossing a through road on which I’m traveling. I let up on my gas pedal, but the responsibility and privilege of driving seems to be continually challenged by those who do not heed stop signs. In these days of so much “correctness” to our language, it would be more enlightening if the paper would reconsider and write items in an accurate fashion without misleading the reader. Please stick to facts the reader can understand instead of opinions that lead us to wrong conclusions. Cindy Akre Plano

And without his support, U.S. withdrawal from Siberia began in early 1920, with the last troops leaving Vladivostok on April 1. With the mission wrapped up, Baker apparently finally felt free to comment, calling the intervention “nonsense from the beginning.” Gen. Peyton C. March, Army Chief of Staff, agreed, dubbing it “a complete failure.” You’ve got to give Baker and March credit, though. Unlike today’s political and military leaders, they weren’t afraid to call a failure a failure. Compare their comments with the rationalizations of the spectacular military and political failures the U.S. engineered in the Middle East we get from our leaders these days, and it almost makes one long for the good old days of 1920.

Plano School Board adopts balanced 2015-16 budget By LYLE R. ROLFE news@kendallcountynow.com Plano School Board members last week unanimously adopted a $28.6 million budget for the 2015-16 school year, and not one resident questioned or asked to talk about the document. Superintendent Dr. Hector Garcia told board members at their previous meeting that the district was committed to set aside $1.3 million in revenue to abate the debt issue and help the taxpayers by not passing along additional taxes. “We will maintain our current services and programs, and make only modest increases,” he said. The administration also will closely monitor the fund balances to insure that the district has contingency funds for emergencies and unexpected changes in revenue. Garcia said their goal, as in past years, is to match spending with expenses and finish with a balanced budget despite the uncertainty of school funding from the state of Illinois. He said the state always appropriates a certain amount of funding to every school district based upon the established funding formula. “Unfortunately, the state prorates the total amount and schools end up receiving only a portion of the total amount. We hope to receive more than 90 percent of the revenue that is allocated to our district this year,” he said. Garcia noted that because Plano is in a tax-cap district, they have been aware of the tax-cap lim-

itations and will have to transfer funds from the Transportation Fund to the Education and Operations and Maintenance funds later in the year. However, this will not cause a problem for the Transportation Fund because it has ample funds to get through the year, he said. “While state funding remains a major concern, we are committed to offering a comprehensive education while avoiding increases in school fees or eliminating programs. This year, school fees will remain the same for the fourth consecutive year despite a projected 0.5 percent increase in local funding and bond refinancing payments,” he said. He also noted that the dis-

trict has challenged the assessed value of the Menards property in the district for the last three years. Because the company was seeking a sizable reduction, all taxing bodies spent more than a year objecting to the Menards’ challenge, he said. “After a lengthy process, we settled the three-year challenge with Menards and became responsible for a total loss of $495,000 in revenue. This will come from this year’s budget,” he said. Estimated expenditures for the budget year total $28,666,433, which includes $14,613,733 for salaries, $2,679,453 for employee benefits, $2,614,397 for purchased services, $1,952,281 for supplies and materials, $1,191,964 for capital out-

lay, and $5,614,605 for other items. He said officials plan to closely monitor the balances to ensure that the district has contingency funds for emergencies and unexpected changes in revenue. The estimated revenue totals $29,661,826 and includes $19,864,555 for the Educational Fund, $2,785,730 for Operations and Maintenance, $2,635,350 for the Debt Service Fund, $1,634,815 for Transportation, $71,518 for Municipal Retirement and Social Security, $149,328 for Fire Prevention and Safety, and $76,509 for the Working Cash Fund. According to the budget summary, the district will begin the year with a $10,147,712 balance in the Educational Fund.

Other income in the Educational Fund includes $8,147,055 from local sources, $8,107,411 from state sources, and $1,145,141 from federal sources. The $8,107,411 from state sources includes $7,046,425 in unrestricted grants from general state aid and $1,060,986 in restricted grants which includes $586,000 from Special Education grants, $11,650 from career and technical education fees, and $117,686 from bilingual education fees. Some of the above income sources include $312,000 for food sales to students and staff members, $71,825 for activity fees such as admission for athletic and other events, $161,000 for textbook sales, $69,240 from vendor contract fees, contributions

and donations from private sources, $10,000 from driver education fees, $36,740 from rentals, and $10,000 from other local revenues. In his memo to the board, Garcia said, “The budget includes $1.3 million of district revenue to abate the debt issue and help the community in terms of not passing along additional taxes. “We will maintain current services and programs. Only very modest increases (for example, the Consumer Price Index CPI) to the budget will be approved over the next five years. “We will closely monitor the fund balances in order to ensure that the district has contingency funds for emergencies and unexpected changes in revenue,” he said.

BRIEF School Board OKs wage hikes for non-teachers

A new contract was approved at the September Plano School Board meeting with the 150 members of the Educational Support Association, ending two months of negotiations. Superintendent Dr. Hector Garcia said these are employees who belong to the Illinois and National Education Associations. They are members of the support staff, which includes bus drivers, custodians, clerical, teachers’ aides, and other employees who work 30 hours or more per week. Wage increases range from 30 to 65 cents per hour, depending on the job, Garcia said. Health insurance also is included for these employees, he said. The contract is for the 2015-16 school year. He did not know the exact cost to the district for the new contract, but said it is covered in this year’s budget. The board still working on a new contract with the district’s 157 certified teachers, but Garcia could not say when it will be approved.

School board views enrollment numbers Superintendent: Dist. 88 total is down from peak in 2014-15 garten, the early learning center and out-of-district students. The out-of-district students are ones who have special needs and are transported to Plano’s schools, he said. “These figures can change from day-to-day because of students moving into the district and others moving out,” he said. The largest increases over the past 11 years were in the 2006-07 year, when the district added 279 students, 2007-08 when it added 313 and 2008-09 when 82 students were added. “With these numbers of new students, you have to hire some new teachers quickly,” Garcia said. These were the years

By LYLE R. ROLFE news@kendallcountynow.com Student enrollments in the Plano School District have been fairly stable over the past 10 years, with a few exceptions, Superintendent Dr. Hector Garcia reported at the September board meeting. He said there had been no surprises over the past year. This year’s enrollment totaling 2,391 students is down from last year’s total of 2,410. “A change of 19 students is nothing when you consider it’s spread over 12 grade levels,” he said. And the total enrollment figures also include the prekinder-

Local student seeks internship with city “We thought this would be something good to help her with her studies to work here in our treasurers’ department. She will not be working in other departments,” he said. Rizzo will start work on Tuesday, Oct. 13, and will be working six hours a week – two hours each on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. These were the days and times she chose, he said. This would leave her time for her school work, he added. “We’re excited to have her coming here. One thing about the treasurer’s office is that she will be able to see every aspect of the department. It’s really an opportunity for her as well as a help to us,” Goehst said. She said Rizzo mentioned attending college, but did not say what her major might be.

By LYLE R. ROLFE news@kendallcountynow.com Perla Rizzo, a Plano High School student, will work as an unpaid intern to the City Treasurer if the proposal is approved by city officials at their Oct. 12 council meeting. Mayor Bob Hausler told council members at Monday’s Committee of the Whole meeting, that Rizzo visited Janet Goehst, city treasurer, and asked if she could be hired as an intern – without compensation. “She’s a senior. She actually came to us with the idea of being an intern,” he said. “She really showed some initiative and wanted to learn from us. During my time with the city, we’ve never had interns,” Hausler said. Goehst echoed his comments, saying the city has not had them in the past.

when new subdivisions were being built and occupied, he said, noting that right after those years, the bottom dropped out of the housing market. The next two school years, new enrollments totaled only 11 and 21 and in 2011-12 enrollment dropped by 28 students. The following year – 2012-13 – was kind of a fluke, when the total enrollment increased by 72 students to a total of 2,394. “I don’t think anyone has an answer to why these two years changed so much,” Garcia said, adding that the 2012-13 was his first year with the district.

The following year the district added another four new students, and hit its peak to date with 2,410, in 2014-15, when 27 new students were added, he said. This fall, enrollments increased by 19 students for a total enrollment of 2,391 students. Garcia said they should pay attention only to the large enrollment changes because anything less than about 20 students is spread over all grade levels from the pre-kindergarten and early child learning center through high school seniors. Other than a couple un-

usual years, Garcia he believes the enrollments have been fairly flat. “The figures represent just a day in the week and they change every time a new family moves into or out of the district,” he said. He was not aware of any proposed new subdivisions that could affect future enrollments. There are some that are not fully developed, but he does not expect any big changes as they are filled. The report showed that when these enrollments were taken, P.H. Miller Elementary School had 431 students, Centennial Elemen-

tary School had 374, Emily G. Johns Elementary had 498, Plano Middle School at 363, and Plano High School had 674. “We’re very happy that we can get by with the staff we have. We’ll have to see what happens with the economy. I know we have residents who would like to see the number stay the same as they are and some would like to see us get a bit smaller,” he said. He said the fall housing report numbers would be gathered and submitted to the Illinois State Board of Education at the end of the month.

County home sales increased in August Median price for homes rose 6.1 percent to $197,900 By MATT SCHURY mschury@shawmedia.com Home sales in Kendall County for the month of August were up significantly from the same time last year, something that analysts believe might be part of a broader trend. About 245 sales closed in August 2015 compared to 212 last August, a 15.6 percent increase, according to the Illinois Association of Realtors’ latest report. Beth David, of Coldwell Banker Honig-Bell (team Michelson), gave a couple reasons why she is optimistic about the housing market. “Two of the reasons that it is definitely positive and better are

the interest rates are still low and it has gotten so expensive to rent,” David said. “Some people can have a house for literally what their rental payment is.” The IAR report showed that the monthly average commitment rate for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage for the North Central Region was 3.90 percent in August 2015, down from 4.04 percent the previous month, according to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. In August 2014 it averaged 4.11 percent. Year-to-date sales data was likewise positive with 1,599 homes sold through the first eight months of the year in 2015 compared to 1,387 sales during the same time last year, a 15.3 percent

increase. David added that there are loans available still that don’t require the person to put much money down. David also pointed out that home inventory is down and things are selling more quickly because of simple supply and demand, which is driving up the price of homes. “If something is priced right it is definitely selling quickly,” she said. Home sales prices were also up in Kendall County. The median price for a home in August was $197,900, a 6.1 percent increase from August 2014. Year-to-date median prices showed a similar increase at $196,000 this year compared to $180,000 during the first

American Pride Ride held

eight months of 2014. The number of days a home sat on the market was 59 this August compared to 48 days last year and year-to-date, days until sale were also flat at 64 days this year. David also pointed out that home inventory is down and properties are selling more quickly because of simple supply and demand, which is driving up the price of homes. “We are seeing some building again as well … not like it was when there was a subdivision on every corner in Kendall County,” David said. She mentioned that the market seems to be shifting from a buyer’s market to a seller’s market. “It seems to be changing a little bit; it’s not a buyer’s market any more. For the last few years it was very much so but that seems to

be changing now because of the inventory,” she said. Statewide home sales (including single-family homes and condominiums) in August 2015 totaled 15,088 homes sold, up 0.9 percent from August 2014 when 14,957 homes sold, the IAR report shows. The statewide median price in August 2015 rose to $180,900, a 3.4 percent gain over August 2014’s statewide median price of $175,000. The median is a typical market price where half the homes sold for more and half sold for less. “Sales returned to a more modest long-term annual growth rate in August while prices continued to increase,” said Geoffrey J.D. Hewings, director of the Regional Economics Applications Laboratory at the University of Illinois.

Have you ever had the chance to visit one of the many farms in Kendall County? If not, you are truly missing out on an amazing experience to both learn about where food comes from and meet the people who produce it. Last week, some 200 second-graders from Plano visited Friestad Dairy Farm in Newark. The Friestad family owns and operates the only dairy farm in Kendall County. The milk produced from their cows is purchased by Prairie Farms. As most know, the fall season is a very busy season for farm-

ers, yet on Sept. 21, the Friestads welcomed the entire second-grade class from Centennial Elementary in Plano to explore their farm. While at the farm, students were to see and touch dairy cattle, learn about what cows eat throughout the day, milk cows in the milking parlor, and see where milk is stored until it is picked up by Prairie Farms. They were also able to learn about how the milk from the farm becomes dairy products such as ice cream, yogurt or cheese. For some students, this was their first time visiting a working farm and may be their only opportunity to do so.

This field trip, as well as in-classroom presentations provided by the Agriculture in the Classroom program, intend to provide students with a stronger understanding of where their food comes from and the people involved in producing it. The Ag in the Classroom program would like to thank the Friestad family for sharing their home, farm, knowledge and passion for what they do.

Route 34 work being planned Public hearing held on initial project plans By MATT SCHURY mschury@shawmedia.com Area residents were able to get their first look this week at the Illinois Department of Transportation’s (IDOT) plans to widen and reconstruct U.S. Route 34 from Center Parkway in Yorkville to Eldamain Road in Plano. IDOT held a public hearing Tuesday night at the Yorkville Public Library where project exhibits were on display and residents were able to provide comments on the proposed improvements. Vicki and Andy Wegrzy, residents of Yorkville’s Fox Hill subdivision, said they received a survey from IDOT asking them about the sound barrier wall planned for installation

along the south side of Route 34, behind their home. Plans call for retaining walls to be constructed near Game Farm Road and sound barrier walls to be added near Game Farm Road and Diehl Farm Road. Vicki said the walls are definitely needed. “It’s been getting noisier and noisier off the back of our place,” she said. “Sometimes you can’t even have the windows open or be out on the porch and be talking because of all the noise.” The couple said they believe IDOT’s plan to widen the highway will help with traffic congestion they see on the highway. Plans call for the road to be reconstructed for 2.1 miles to provide two lanes in each direction, with a two-way left turn median, curbs and gutters, storm sewers, sidewalks and a shared-use path. The Blackberry Creek bridge and the Rob Roy Creek culvert will also

be replaced as part of the project. The price tag on the project is $18.8 million, with $16.8 million of that budgeted for construction and $1.8 million for land acquisition. Ted Fultz, an IDOT engineer, said the project is fully funded in IDOT’s 2016-21 proposed highway improvements program. Phase one engineering is scheduled to be completed this fall with phase two design work and land acquisition to begin shortly thereafter. The project is warranted because of the large amount of traffic that travels on Route 34, Futlz said. “The main thing that’s driving this is project need and you can see it’s at or near capacity with 16,500 to 23,250 [vehicles] per day,” he said. Additionally crash data from IDOT shows that 68 percent of the 261 crashes reported between 2009 and 2013 were rear-end crashes, a clear indication, Fultz said, that the road is overcrowded.

Shabbona ag research center closing State budget woes cut off facility’s funds By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN bkeeperman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Lack of state funding will result in the closing of the Northern Illinois Agronomy Research Center in DeKalb County, which conducts research related to crop production and employs two people. The University of Illinois has cut support and programming for four of its seven extension research facilities including the Northern Illinois center in Shabbona. The center was established in the mid-1940s and sits on 160 acres of land dedicated to crop science and crop production research, said Neal Merchen, associate dean for research at the University of Illinois College of Agriculture, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences. “State funding provided through the state budget to University of Illinois … has been dwindling since 2003,” Merchen said. “Those reductions have been modest in some years and significant in others.” This year, the universi-

The University of Illinois plans to reduce off-campus crop research and shut down several agriculture centers, including the Northern Illinois Agronomy Research Center in Shabbona. ty faces a 7.5 percent budget reduction, which translates to about $3.7 million, he said. “Until now, with the exception of some minor changes, we have not had to inflict this kind of reduction to off-campus centers,” Merchen said. “But we simply can’t get by without doing that any longer.”

The reductions will affect four crop research facilities, including the St. Charles Horticulture Center, the Brownstown Agronomy Research Center, the Northern Illinois Agronomy Research Center and the Dixon Springs Agricultural Center, Merchen said. The Dixon Springs re-

search center will retain its research of beef cattle and forestry. Crop production research was the only program at the Northern Illinois center, Merchen said. The focus was on developing farming recommendations based on conditions typical to the DeKalb County area, such as how pro-

Service. Advice. Trust.

No answers yet on ag director’s exit SPRINGFIELD – The resignation of Seneca farmer Philip Nelson as Illinois Department of Agriculture director on Thursday came as a shock to local agriculture advocates. “It’s very disappointing for the agriculture community,” Tasha Bunting, manager of the Grundy County Farm Bureau, said on Friday. “Phil Nelson was a great advocate for agriculture. He was on a forward moving track for agriculture in Illinois.” Nelson is well regarded by farmers in Grundy and Will counties. He is a former president of the Illinois Farm Bureau and a graduate from the agriculture program at Joliet Junior College. Gov. Bruce Rauner said in a news release on Thursday that he had accepted the resignation of Nelson, who will remain employed with the Department of Agriculture for the next 30 days to help with the transition. There was no reason given for the resignation. Illinois State Rep. John Anthony, R-Plainfield, who sits on the House agriculture committee said Nelson brought “a lifetime of experience” to the job as a

fourth-generation farmer. “Just last week, I was with him in Mazon for the signing of a major ag partnership with the nation of Taiwan,” Anthony said. “I know from working with Director Nelson that his knowledge and commitment to Illinois agriculture is unmatched.” Anthony said he doesn’t know the reason behind the resignation but was confident that Rauner “will appoint a new director that will carry forward the work to strengthen the state’s commitment to farmers, farm families and the growth of our ag manufacturing industry.” An employee at Nelson’s office in Springfield said on Friday that Department of Agriculture Chief of Staff Warren Goetsch had already become acting director until a replacement is found. “I appreciate Director Nelson’s commitment to agriculture and his service to the people of Illinois,” Rauner said in the news release. “I wish him all the best.” Nelson was named as director in January this year with the support of the agriculture community. Nelson is not only a farmer, but also a previous president of the Illinois Farm Bureau.

duction is affected by soil types, fertility levels and weather. State Rep. Bob Pritchard, R-Hinckley, said that while the loss of agricultural research isn’t something he wants to see, he understands the need for cutbacks and hopes to find other ways to make up for the loss.

“I think in the shorter term, we will be able to find other ways to get the kind of data produced by the center in Shabbona,” he said, citing research conducted by fertilizer and pesticide companies and research farmers conduct on their own properties. A total of nine employees will be affected by the reductions, including two at the northern Illinois center, but Merchen declined to comment on if those employees would be transferred to other facilities. All the research on crop science and production at the centers has been completed, Merchen said. It’s not anticipated that research activities will resume in the foreseeable future. “We expect budget reductions this year to be repeated next year,” Merchen said. “The state of Illinois has some real budgetary issues.” It’s unclear what will become of the land, buildings and equipment. “The current information that has been communicated is that a decision has been made [regarding cutbacks]” he said. “We have more work to do over the next several months concerning land, equipment and continued maintenance of the buildings.”

PREP VOLLEYBALL

Reapers take down Streator for big conference win By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com The Plano girls volleyball team knows no team is invincible in the Interstate Eight Conference after defeating Streator – currently the top team in the league – 1825, 25-21, 26-24 on Sept. 22. The Reapers followed that victory with a 26-24, 25-19 win against Peotone last Thursday. Plano is now 9-10 overall and 3-3 in the conference entering this week of matches against Seneca and Aurora Central Catholic. “It was a great win over Stre-

ator,” Plano head coach Lisa Esmond said. “I kept telling the kids all year that the conference was up for grabs. I think it actually felt like reality after that win ... and it was nice to get a win over Peotone. As a team, we have been working on finding that feeling of urgency and importance of every ball. We seem to play very relaxed and turn it on when other teams do and sometimes that is too late.” Against Streator, Plano was led by Allison Smith (nine kills, 10 digs, four aces, seven points), Evelin Chaidez (13 digs, five

points), Rachel Duffy (six kills, one block), Emily Schopp (five kills, three blocks, one ace), Lindsay Hoalt (six digs, 27 assists, four points, one ace) and Khyiana Magee (five digs, seven points). Against Peotone, the Reapers were led by Smith (five points, one ace, eight digs, two blocks, seven kills), Duffy (six kills, two blocks), Hoalt (15 assists, two digs, seven points, one ace) and Bradi Gann (three digs, one block, four kills). Last Saturday, Plano was a part of Oswego East’s Den Invite. The Reapers went 2-3 with

BOYS GOLF

The Plano boys’ golf team finished 10th of 11 teams at the Interstate Eight Conference Tournament on Monday at Wolf Creek Golf Course in Pontiac. Peotone won with a 344, followed by Sandwich

(344), Manteno and Seneca (351 each), Coal City (357), Streator (361), Lisle (363), Westmont (393), Wilmington (398), Plano (479) and Reed-Custer (482). Lone senior Tim McTighe led the Reapers with a 99, followed by Anthony Martinez (116), Tim Malkosky (120) and Tyler Knispel (144). “It was a great experience for us,” Plano head coach Scott Smith said. “For three kids, this was their first year golfing at the conference meet. It was great for them to go out there and see what that was like. I’m proud of the way the kids have worked

all season. ... For (Tim McTighe), he played his best round of golf this season. It was a great way to end his career (in conference).” Prior to conference, Aurora Christian topped Plano, 161-209, in a dual meet on Sept. 22. Josh French shot a 61, Malkosky 62, Knispel 70 and Peyton Gatza 76. The Reapers will take on Somonauk/Newark, Hinckley-Big Rock and will be a part of the LaSalle-Peru Invite this week before postseason action starts on Tuesday at the Class 2A Kaneland Regional at Hughes Creek Golf Course in Elburn.

Coach’s

CORNER by Coach Kunz

Reaper Family, In the mind of a coach, Homecoming week is always a conundrum that leaves you scratching your head believing that, “you’re darned if you don’t and darned if you do.” All of the great events that will be put on by various clubs and organizations at our school this week will create a great time for our students, but ultimately could lead to distractions. Meeting with our players on Saturday, I told the players we needed to make a choice. As a team, we either need to be united on ignoring Homecoming week and live business as usual, or we need to be united with a focus on enjoying the moment together as a team and everyone on our team to be “all in” for Homecoming week. We decided to embrace the experience and go “all in” with Homecoming Spirit Week. Homecoming is such a great concept, and it also brings back many alumni Reapers to Plano. This past Saturday, we had our first annual Reaper Football Family Reunion at Plano High School. People in attendance, I believe, left feeling good about the night, and that it was like a walk down memory lane. We had at least one alumnus from seven different decades – 1950’s, 1960’s, 1970’s, 1980’s, 1990’s, 2000’s, and 2010’s. We hope that this night planted a seed for increased communication with our alumni, and more events, including our 2nd Annual Reaper Football Family Reunion, which will take place in May 2016, that can unite us as Reapers. When I played at Miami, the thing that made “The U” special was that alumni would come back to impart wisdom to the current players. We have some truly remarkable individuals who have worn purple and white on a Friday night under the lights of Reaper Stadium. It is my hope that the more alumni we can have around the program, the better lives we can forge for our Reapers. In order to communicate with our Reaper Football alums, whether you played, were associated one way or another with a family member, or if you’re a super fan, we would love for you to fill out a survey so we can add you to our alumni database. The first way to complete this is online at the web address www.reaperup.com and click on the Reaper Football Alumni Database page, or at www.reapernation.com on the football page. The second way is to fill out a survey at the home football game this Friday vs. Peotone. The surveys will be available at the ticket booth as you enter Reaper Stadium, or at the concession stand. Whether it is Tuesday at the soccer game at Reaper Stadium, Wednesday at the volleyball game, Thursday at the community pep rally, Friday at our game vs. Peotone, or Saturday at the parade, I hope that our community can come together for a great week of fun as we celebrate our great town, and the dedicated students that make us proud on a daily basis. Happy Homecoming Week!

Plano races tough field at Charger Classic; Lisle Mane Event up next

Reapers rack up goals to shut out Paw Paw

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com Looking at the final team standings, it would appear the annual Charger Classic was a tough day for the Plano cross country team, but looks can be deceiving. Although Plano finished last in both the boys and girls team standings, all 12 Reapers had personal best finishes and Plano had a significant point improvement at the Aurora Central Catholic event compared to just one year ago. “They’re working super hard and it’s paying off,” Plano head coach Kristy Lehner said. “There’s im-

provement regardless of where we fall. Last year the boys scored 300 points and this year they scored 260. The girls also improved by 20 points, which says a lot.” The Reapers entered six runners in both Blue Division races, and junior Demetra Phylactos had the highest individual finish as she crossed the finish line in 30th place with a time of 20:50. Senior Yasmine Esparza finished in 21:20 while junior Kailey Westrope (22:30), senior Jessica Prentice (22:52), junior Sami Stamper (23:34) and junior Sarah Roberts (25:43) raced for Plano. Senior Lucas Thoms was

40th overall in the boys’ race with a time of 17:50, followed by senior Alexian Saavedra (18:03), freshman Brandon Littlefair (18:05), senior Diego Nevarez (19:26), senior Caleb Moody (20:21) and senior Oscar Flores (20:22) Wheaton Academy won the girls’ race while Antioch topped the boys’ team standings. Plano will race at Lisle Community Park on Saturday for the annual Mane Event before hosting its Gryder Invite on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. “The kids get excited about that home meet,” Lehner said.

By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com The Plano boys’ soccer team posted its most productive outing on offense last Thursday with a 7-0 win over Paw Paw in non-conference action on the road. Plano led 3-0 at the half. Ivan Alanis finished with two goals and an assist, Will Benson scored his first goal of his varsity career, Robert Jacobsen tallied his first goal of the season along with an assist and both Eric Nunez and Julian Moreno posted a goal and assist. Hugo Nunez and Omar Alanis each had an assist for the Reapers. Trevor Scott posted five saves in the win, shutting down a penalty kick and earning the shut out. “It feels great to get another win,” Plano head coach Tom Dean said. “We are

beginning to mature and play well under pressure.” At Streator on Monday, Plano dropped to 3-9-2 overall and 1-6 in the Interstate Eight Conference with the 5-1 loss to the Bulldogs. Alanis tallied the goal for the Reapers with the assist from Agustin Garcia. Scott posted 18 saves in goal. “It felt great to earn my first [career] assist,” Garcia said. “I knew as soon as the ball left my foot that Ivan was going to score it. Hard work pays off.” Plano’s next three games are against Wilmington, Aurora Central Catholic and Hinckley-Big Rock. Plano was placed in the Class 1A Serena Regional and will take on Paw Paw in the first round on Oct. 9. The winner will play Newark on Oct. 13.

PREP GOLF

Girls edged out by Lisle at tourney Plano’s Loux earns medalist honors for fourth straight time By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com Even though the Plano girls’ golf team defeated rival Lisle in the regular season, the Lions got the best of the Reapers at Monday’s Interstate Eight Conference Tournament at Dwight Country Club.

Lisle edged out Plano, 375-380. Seneca was third with a 409 and Sandwich placed fourth with a 431 in front of Westmont (528). Manteno, Peotone and Wilmington did not score as a team. “[Beating Lisle before the conference meet] didn’t mean anything because it happened earlier in the season [on Sept. 1] – you

just never know,” Plano head coach Tammy McGinnis said. “I thought we had it, but the girls played very well. I couldn’t be more proud of them. We’ve never shot under 400 in a conference tournament.” Plano senior Rylie Loux was, once again, the conference tournament medalist after she posted

a 79. This is the fourth year she has accomplished this achievement. Arieanna Accidentale shot a 93 while Ashley Martinez posted a 99. Like Loux, both were on the All-Conference team. Accidentale has been on it three times and Martinez has been on it twice. Lexi Clark shot the Reapers’

fourth-best score of 109. “Four good scores is tough to come by, but all four have been consistent players for us,” McGinnis said. “Everyone played exceptionally well on such a big day.” Prior to conference, Plano topped Seneca in a conference dual, 196-209, last Thursday at Nettle Creek. Loux led the way with a 41, followed by Accidentale (46), Martinez (53) and Clark (56).

PREP FOOTBALL: PLANO 51, STREATOR 10

Reapers record offensive explosion Plano scores on first possession, doesn’t look back By LAURA M. MEDINA Shaw Media correspondent The Plano football team piled on the offense in a 51-10 Interstate Eight Conference victory against the visiting Streator Bulldogs on Friday night. It was the second straight week – and third time this season – that the Reapers (4-1, 2-1) eclipsed the 50-point mark. “There’s always that fear of a letdown, especially after a big win, so we really worked hard on Monday to get that focus back,” Plano head coach Brad Kunz said. “It seems like every week we have some kind of adversity. This week, Tyler [Ward] missed two days of school because he was sick, and the same thing with Jay [Winter]. We haven’t had an offensive practice since Tuesday, so it wasn’t surprising that we came out a little bit rusty the way we did.” Plano’s rust, though, wasn’t evident in the first few minutes of the game, as it scored on its first possession and capitalized five times in six tries when it had the ball in the first half. Winter was responsible for two of those scores on runs of 23 and 6 yards in the first and second quarters, respectively. Ward, meanwhile, tossed a 12-yard touchdown to senior wide receiver Sergio Chavez in the first and a 24-yarder to junior wide out Isreal Adeoti in the second quarter. In between, Chavez added a 38-yard field goal into the mix. Ward finished 12-for-21 for 209 yards, two TDs and one interception. Streator was held off the board until Alonzo Flores’ 25-yard field goal with 7:04 remaining in the second quarter. The team scored again in the first half, thanks in part to a few hiccups on the part of the home side. Reaper junior Danny Nunez intercepted quarterback Christian Price near Plano’s 15-yard line and looked to be returning

the pickoff, when he attempted a lateral pass that was fumbled and then recovered by the Bulldogs at the 10. They scored on the next play – a pass to Preston McCulley – as time expired to cut into the lead 31-10. “Anytime that our guys decide to freelance and do what they want to do, as a coach, part of you wants to say, ‘What are you doing?’ but the other part of you knows that if they had scored, you would have looked

like a genius,” Kunz said. “Maybe it’s a good thing that it happened tonight, because it’s a lesson that you learn, and now, it’s not something that we worry about later.” In the second half, it was all Plano, as the team scored on its first play after the break – a 2-yard charge from Winter (extra point missed) – and never looked back, tacking on two more touchdowns before the final buzzer.

Winter had a 5-yard scamper with 9:52 left in the fourth and a 54-yard run 3:37 later to effectively put the game out of reach for the Bulldogs (1-4, 0-3). Winter finished with 217 yards on 25 carries. “We came right out, our offense answered right off the bat in the second half, and we kind of rolled,” Kunz said. Next up for the Reapers is a Homecoming matchup against Peotone, which dropped a 41-21 decision against Manteno on

Friday night. “Two years ago, I steered into the skid – I tried to get my players to do as much as they could to enjoy homecoming week … last year, we were in a different place because we started the season 1-3,” Kunz said. “I don’t know how I want to handle it yet for this week, because Peotone is probably one of the best teams we’ll see on our schedule the rest of the way.” Kickoff is set for 7:15 p.m.

Walk supports Domestic Violence Awareness Month 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 funding from DHS. The event will begin at 9:30 a.m. with walker registration

Sign up Create or join a Walk For Hope team or donate to a current walker by visiting mutualground.org. 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. Businesses interested in sponsoring this event may contact Michelle at 630-897-0084, ext. 101.

Crime prevention talks held SHAW MEDIA Kendall County State’s Attorney Eric Weis joined other law enforcement officials in Chicago last week to speak with Illinois Department of Human Services Secretary-designate James Dimas to discuss the current and future funding of programs for children that prevent crime. Weis is a member of the

Illinois Executive Board for Fight Crime: Invest in Kids, Illinois. The law enforcement leaders represented over 300 law enforcement leaders who are members of Fight Crime: Invest in Kids Illinois, an anti-crime organization that advocates for evidence-based investments in programs for kids that are proven to cut crime and violence.

Fight Crime: Invest in Kids Illinois discussed with Dimas how Teen REACH, an after-school program, early childhood education, and Redeploy Illinois are effective tools to keep children from entering the criminal justice system. “The reality is that without these types of programs, too many kids will end up in our criminal justice system,” Weis said.

Local congressmen embrace pope’s message SHAW MEDIA U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, on Thursday urged his fellow congressmen to accept a challenge from Pope Francis, issued during the pope’s address to Congress. Foster, via a news release, wrote “it’s important for all elected officials to remember why we take these jobs – to serve our community and our fellow man, and do our best to lift up all people. The pope challenged us to renew a ‘spirit of cooperation’ to meet those goals. I hope my colleagues in Congress will join me in accepting that challenge.” Foster was among the local congressmen to issue statements addressing the pope’s appearance. U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, issued a news release calling it a “historic address.” “Pope Francis brought the inspiring message of ‘hope and healing, of peace and justice’ to America and its representatives,” Hulgren wrote. “From his servant’s heart he called all of us to care for the poor, the sick, and everyone at all stages of life.” U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Wheaton, wrote in a release Thursday “it was an honor to hear from Pope Francis at this morning’s historic address to Congress.” “His Holiness exhibited the profound compassion and commitment to God that has made him an inspiration to millions of people of all faiths worldwide,”

Roskam wrote. “Pope Francis also reminded us of our sacred responsibility to defend life – a duty that Congress has a unique opportunity to fulfill in the coming days.” Foster, in his statement, wrote the pope “has energized people across the country and the world with his message of stewardship of the earth and compassion for all mankind.” “It’s a message that is sorely needed in Congress,” Foster wrote. “I am especially pleased that he brought up issues like income inequality, caring for the environment and treating immigrants with com-

passion.” Hultgren wrote the pope “talked about America as a land of opportunity.” “We need to take up his call to make sure it remains a place for everyone to succeed,” Hultgren wrote. “I was thrilled he mentioned my home state hero, Abraham Lincoln, our ‘guardian of liberty.’ I was most struck by his emphasis on the family, the building block of our society and our great nation.” Roskam wrote “we can heed the words of His Holiness by working together to advance freedom and opportunity around the world.”

Smile! It Will Make You and Others Happy! Forgive Yourself

There is a very interesting psychology experiment where you trick people into either smiling or frowning without their knowing it (by telling them to hold a pencil either in their teeth, to make them “But if we walk in the light, smile, or with their pursed lips, to make them as he is in the light, we have frown), and while they hold that facial position you fellowship with one another, tell them a joke. Those who are holding the smile and the blood of Jesus, his Son, usually rate the joke as being funnier, presumably purifies us from all sin.” because they are already halfway laughing to start —1 John 1:7 NIV with. The moral of the experiment, if experiments can be said to have a moral, is that our bodies often take the lead in making us feel happy or sad, or calm or anxious. Droopy, lackadaisical posture will make you feel defeated while standing up tall and strong will make you feel like a winner. So hat we tend to remember misdeeds years (and sometimes even smile, even when you don’t feel much like smiling, decades) after the original offense says something important about us. or perhaps you don’t much That is, we are deeply imbued with a especially sense of when morality, and feel when we like which smiling.hurts Andanother an added benefit smiling is that have committed a serious offense, especially one person, weto may have trouble it tends to spread the happiness. anwhat attitude getting over the shame and humiliation, even long after the other person has forgivenHave us.

Youth can spend Columbus Day focused on STEM with 4-H “In one fun and functional morning, participants will experience four STEM-related experiments that will challenge them to think like a scientist or engineer,” said University of Illinois Extension educator Deanna Roby. “We hope to inspire youth to grow into problem solvers and active citizens.” At the “Hands On, Minds On 2.0” event, youth will work together to: • Create a mini-robot to understand technology’s role in environmental science • Engineer a wind turbine and test energy output • Explore aerospace engineering principles by creating and launching paper rockets

SHAW MEDIA Turn a day off from school into a day of science and technology with the local 4-H Youth Development program. The “Hands On, Minds On 2.0” event brings back this popular, interactive science series to the Fox Valley area. This year’s program is designed for youth in third through sixth grades, and features four creative, challenging 4-H National Youth Science Day activities, including the 2015 project Motion Commotion. All focus on at least one component of STEM – or science, technology, engineering and math.

• Experience the relationship between speed and stopping distance, and apply it to everyday life. “Hands On, Minds On 2.0” will be from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 12 at the Kane County Fairgrounds in St. Charles, with check-in at 9 a.m. Pre-registration is required, and space is limited. For more information or to sign up online, visit http://web.extension.illinois.edu/dkk/science4h. Cost is $15 per child. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate, please notify two weeks prior to the event. For questions, contact Roby at 630-584-6166 or roby@illinois.edu.

Fall lawn care includes topdressing, mowing higher, weed control Early fall is a great time to work on the lawn. There are several management practices that complement the core aeration this column addressed a few weeks ago. These all will benefit the health and look of the lawn. Topdressing with a quality black dirt, composts or compost blends will provide additional benefits. Organic matter will conserve and hold moisture, feed the microbial life that in turn will work with the grass plants roots to provide needed nutrients over long periods of time. Another easy way to improve the look and health of the lawn is check out the lawnmower. Consider raising the mowing height even just one notch. Research shows that a taller grass blade promotes deep-

DOWN THE GARDEN PATH Richard Hentschel er growing roots. Another benefit to the lawn will be the appearance of the lawn if the mower blade is sharp. Consider that a sharp blade means the mower engine has to work less, creating less air pollution too. As the leaves begin to fall and accumulate on the lawn, frequent mowing will allow the mower to handle the leaves and cut them up fine enough to be left on the lawn. There will be those times when leaves will build up and removal is needed. Rather than mow and bag them for city pickup, consider the benefit of a compost pile or use

the leaf and grass mixture as a mulch in perennial beds or turn them under in the vegetable garden. This mixture of leaves and grass make a great addition to the compost pile with the greens supplying the nitrogen and water and the browns supplying the carbon. A fall weed control practice also could be done. Weed seeds have likely germinated and plants are present right now. Controlling them now means you should not be seeing those bright yellow flowers in the lawn next spring. Remember, the first fall best practice is core aeration, which will benefit the lawn long term. Homeowners can rent the coring machine or have a lawn service provide the service for your yard.

Better root systems then do a better job of feeding the above ground parts and are more drought resistant. After the coring is done, just leave the plugs on the lawn to dry a couple of days and mow normally. The plugs will be broken up and act as a mini topdressing. This will aid in thatch management. As weeks pass, you can see that grass roots have filled in the cores as there is ample air and water available.

Also, the machine will work much better and be easier on the user if the soil is already moist. Most know that core aeration will relieve soil compaction. There are two additional benefits that come along. By coring the lawn, there is a dramatic increase in total soil surface area. These cores then allow additional air and

Learn meaning of four Hs Saturday Community invited to hear about youth, volunteer programs SHAW MEDIA Ever wonder what 4-H is, or what the four Hs stand for? Answer these questions and learn more about this positive youth development program by experiencing the four Hs – head, heart, hands and health – through fun activities and informative stations this October. Kendall County 4-H will host an open house to kick-off the new 4-H year on Saturday, Oct. 3 from 1 to 3 p.m. in Yorkville. The event provides an opportunity for interested families and community members to learn about 4-H, meet club members and volunteer leaders, check out 4-H curriculum and projects, and take part in handson activities. “This annual 4-H open house welcomes interested families to come check out what Kendall County 4-H is all about,” said Kendall County 4-H Program Coordinator Kim Eisnaugle. “It also signifies the start of a new 4-H year and of National 4-H Week, which is Oct. 4 to 10 this year.” Every county in Illinois has a 4-H program, which is operated through University of Illinois Extension. 4-H club membership is open to youth aged 8 to 18, and the Cloverbud program is designed for ages 5 to 7. “4-H Youth Development programs provide hands-on learning, and focus on building leadership, citizenship and life skills,” said Eisnaugle. “We also place an emphasis on community service and healthy lifestyles. Through 4-H, youth can explore many areas of study, including culinary arts, visual arts, horticulture, technology, science and more than 100 others. According to a 10-year Tufts University research project, 4-H youth are five times more likely to graduate from college than non-4-H peers. 4-H members also are: four times more likely to make contributions to their communities, three times more likely to spend time exercising or being physically active, and twice as likely to be active in school and achieve academically. The Kendall County 4-H kickoff event will be at the University of Illinois Extension office, 7775B Illinois Route 47 in Yorkville. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in any program, please contact the office at 630-553-5823, at least two weeks prior to the event. For more information on the 4-H program in Kendall County, visit web.extension.illinois.edu/ dkk/ 4-H is part of University of Illinois Extension.

October is officially “Oak-tober,” following a proclamation from the Illinois governor’s office to promote the importance of oak trees in the environment. The white oak is the Illinois State Tree. Oak trees clean the air and water, reduce flooding, and support native wildlife. The Conservation Foundation and other environmental organizations want to highlight the need for native oaks to be planted in the region. Some ideas that schools and communities can participate in include: Hold an Oak Workday to remove invasive species; plant, water and mulch oak trees; take a walk with friends and family through an oak woodland, collect acorns and plant them in pots to plant outside later; find your community’s largest oak. Other ideas to celebrate “Oak-tober” can be found at the Chicago Region Trees Initiative website at chicagorti.org/resources/oaktober-oak-awareness-month. The Conservation Foundation has more than 4,000 members and donors, and

Visor cards made for deaf drivers SHAW MEDIA The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office has partnered with the Achieving Independence and Mobility Center for Independent Living (AIM Center) to enable deputies to effectively communicate with deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals during traffic contacts. A visor card was created for deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals to present to a deputy during a traffic contact. The yellow, double-sided visor card provides a warning on the front of the card that the driver has special communication needs. Also on the front of the card are several pictures for the deputy to point to in order to inform the driver of the reason for the contact. The back of the card lists different methods the driver may use to communicate, tips for how deputies can make the interaction successful, tips for the individuals using the card, and several pictures the individual can point to and request help. The visor card was created by Laura Thompson, communications access advocate for the AIM Center, and Deputy Greg Shadle. Shadle, a 16-year veteran of the sheriff’s office, has earned a certificate in American Sign Language interpretation from Waubonsee Community College.

The Grundy-Kendall Regional Office of Education presented a Truancy Summit on Thursday, Sept. 17, at the Whitetail Ridge Golf Club in Yorkville. Over 110 counselors, social workers, nurses, attendance secretaries, administrators, probation officers and court-appointed advocates attended the half-day event.

A visor card was created by the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office and AIM Center for deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals to present to a deputy during a traffic contact. “Communication is an important aspect of police work and situations can quickly go bad without effective communication,” said Sheriff Dwight Baird. “The creation and use of these visor cards will allow for effective communication and lessen the chance of a situation going bad.” The visor cards will be available at the AIM Center, 3130

Finley Road, Suite 500, Downers Grove, and the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office. These cards are also being developed in other languages to meet the needs of Kendall County. The next edition will be released in Spanish. The AIM Center provides leadership through training, community development and advocacy to enable persons with disabilities to fully participate

in family, social and community life. Contact Laura Thompson at 630-469-2300 or Video Relay at 630-984-4251 for information regarding AIM Center programs. The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office is looking to partner with other law enforcement agencies interested in utilizing these visor cards. Interested agencies are asked to contact the sheriff’s office.

Regional Superintendent Christopher Mehochko welcomed the attendees and moderated the event. Mehochko said that the purpose of the Truancy Summit was to share the best practices of individual school districts and communities. Brenda Karales, assistant state’s attorney of Kendall County, was the keynote speaker at the summit. She congratulated those in

attendance for the work that they do and said, “It is hard work sometimes, but when we all work together it can be Brenda done.” Karales Karales said that when truant cases are referred to the state’s attorney’s office, youth first go to a court diversion program

that involves counseling and drug testing among other compliance terms. If the court diversion doesn’t improve school attendance, Karales said that she needs good records of communication with parents and copies of doctors’ notes so she can take the case to court; penalties that could result from going to court include fines, a suspended driver’s license, and being referred to DCFS.
