ComEd electric rates slightly lower than city

BY LYLE R. ROLFE news@kendallcountynow.com For the first time in several years, Plano’s electric rates per kilowatt hour are now higher than ComEd, city council members were told recently.

Arnold Schramel, managing partner for Progressive Energy Group, the energy consultant for the city, said that from October of this year through May of 2016, the ComEd price per kilowatt hour is estimated to be $.07145 compared to $.0720 for the city rate through Progress Energy.

He said based on the average customer use of 8.5 annual kilowatt hours, it will cost $3.12 more for customers using the city rate.

He noted this is based on the Purchased Electric Adjustment (PEA)

average rate from June 2011 through September 2015, provided the ComEd rate stays at the estimated $.07145 per kilowatt hour through May of 2016.

Schramel said customers can change from the city service to ComEd but once they do so, they can not return to the city service for six months.

He said the actual savings with the ComEd rate will be uncertain each month due to the ComEd PEA. But he thought this rate would remain the same through June of next year when customers could return from ComEd to Progressive, the city’s carrier.

Schramel said letters were sent to all residents who participate in the city’s municipal aggregation electric program which guaranteed customers with a long-term fixed rate option of 7.20 cents per kilowatt hour through May 2017.

He noted in the letter that since August 2012 when the program started, the average Plano homeowner having the Progressive provider, saved more than $400 compared to having ComEd. According to a chart sent to each homeowner, they saved $37.17 between August and September 2012; $197.88 between October 2012 and May 2013; $25.93 between June 2013 and September 2013; $68.28 between October 2103 and May 2014; $59.29 between June 2014 and August 2014; and $16.67 between September. 2014 and September 2015.

The total savings over that period has been $405.13, he said in a chart sent to home owners with the letter.

The letter being sent to homeowners tells them how to contact ComEd or the Progressive Energy Group with questions or to change their service.

Long-time friends and associates of former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert expressed differing opinions this past week after the Associated Press reported that Hastert intends to plead guilty in a federal hush-money case.

The AP reported Thursday an attorney for Hastert, John Gallo, asked the judge in the case to set a date for a change of plea. The AP reported that Gallo said he expects to have a written plea agreement but he did not mention any of the terms, including what counts the former speaker would plead guilty to.

Hastert, who represented the Dennis 14th Congressional District, has Hastert been charged with lying to the FBI and paying someone $3.5 million to hide claims of past misconduct, which the AP and others reported included claims of sexual misconduct.

Oswego Township Supervisor Jim Detzler, a longtime friend of Hastert, says he still supports the former House Speaker but said he hasn’t spoken to him since the indictment.

“Denny has always been a good supporter of mine and he has helped me in a lot of different things but I just really hate to see this happen to him,” Detzler said.

“If he pleads guilty to it what does that do to him?” he said.

When told that it may be a way for Hastert to avoid a trial, Detzler responded, “That’s so wrong they put people in jail for the dumbest things. It was his money and he wasn’t buying drugs with it and he wasn’t doing anything illegal with it.”

Detzler said pleading guilty isn’t what he would do.

“Individual A – I’m sure he wants to avoid that, which I can’t blame,” Detzler said. “But if I were in his position and it meant going to jail by pleading guilty, I’d take my chances with a jury, I really would. But I guess it’s

Additionally, Detzler mentioned he continues to have a hard time understanding the government’s case against Hastert.

Bob Evans, who taught and coached with Hastert at Yorkville High School in the 1970s, said a plea agreement would save taxpayers the expense of a trial.

“From that end it’s probably good--let it die and there’s no surprise that was going to happen.

From the very beginning they said that,” he said.

Evans said he has not spoken with Hastert recently and considers the allegations against him “old news.”

Senior Services Associates senior centers in Yorkville, Aurora, Elgin, Crystal Lake and McHenry all received donations, as did American Legion Posts in Plano, Yorkville, Oswego and Elgin.

“It is so good to see the enthusiasm grow through this past month for this campaign,” said Jim Hill Commander of Plano American Legion Post #395. The donations collected at Senior

Services offices, and local American Legion Posts filled a pick-up truck and totaled more 323 items, including 167 league baseballs, 47 softballs, 26 baseball bats, 21 ball mitts, 16 soccer balls, eight basketballs, six footballs, and assorted sports gear including batting helmets, practice gear, Frisbee golf equipment, baseball caps and souvenir Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame Polo shirts.

The collected items were

inventoried and then boxed for delivery to the USO office at the Rock Island Arsenal in Rock Island, Ill. In the next several weeks, the items will be repackaged along with other supplies to be shipped to military bases overseas.

The USO also accepts donations to assist with shipping costs, and they were pleased to accept the monetary gifts collected through Operation R&R. Cash donations of $283 were received, the United Elgin Civic Association donated $250, and the Elgin American Legion gave $100, with donations totaling $633.

Among the several seniors who helped inventory and pack the sports equipment were USMC L/LCpl James Hill of Plano, who also served our country as a USAR MSgt; US Army PFC Russell Sauer of Yorkville; USAF A1C Edward Nestor of Yorkville; USAR Sgt.

“We are so thankful for everyone’s participation and support of this collection campaign. It’s the first time we have tried a campaign like this, and we feel it has been a huge success,” said Barb Nadeau, RSVP Coordinator at Senior Services.

“We plan to continue to talk with the representatives at the USO to learn more about what they may need to support our troops,” said Hill. “We would be happy to continue collaborating with Senior Services in these campaigns. My hope is to publicize future collection efforts at our American Legion Posts and at Senior Services locations, so that we can ship supplies with the USO every year, every six months or possibly even quarterly,” he added.

“We want to hear from them about some of the things they are really missing from home.”

County official accuses board of ‘heavy-handed activities’

Warrior Relief Gala

By MATT SCHUR mschury@kendallcountynow.com

Tom Manning (left), of Yorkville, and Joe Fumagali of Montgomery, meet during the Yorkville American Legion’s Warrior Relief Gala Saturday at Timber Creek Inn & Suites in Sandwich.

Both served in the Marine Corps in Vietnam during the same timeframe and although they were in close proximity there, had never met until Saturday’s event. Manning has three Purple Hearts and Fumagali has one. The second annual Warrior Relief Gala aims to raise funds to benefit local veterans.

Dr. Amaal Tokars, Kendall County Health Department Executive Director, had some choice words for the Kendall County Board Tuesday morning.

Referring to a prepared statement she brought to the board’s meeting, Tokars said, “It is very difficult for me to read and it will be difficult for you to hear.”

A press conference scheduled last month by the health department to discuss the impact of the state’s budget impasse on health department services was abruptly canceled without a specific reason for the cancellation. Tokars issued a statement hours before the conference was to be held at the county’s health and human services building in Yorkville stating that “due to concern expressed regarding this public press conference, the press conference has been canceled.”

The Record Newspapers later learned that Tokars met with a representative of Governor Bruce Rauner’s staff shortly before the press conference was

to be at the Kendall County Health Department in Yorkville.

On Tuesday, Tokars spoke during the citizens’ comment portion of the county board’s bi-monthly meeting. She said that some County Board members were engaging in “heavy handed activities” towards the health department and accused board members of “gossiping about the health department by repeating the claim that the department is speaking against the governor.”

Tokars also charged she had heard allegations that county employees were warned not to attend the press conference scheduled for last month without obtaining county board permission.

Continuing, Tokars said some board members accused health department staff of speaking out against the governor while the department was planning the press conference, something that she would not condone.

County Board members have also threatened to force health department employees to pay for employee benefits or face a

reduction of tax levy funds for the department, according to Tokars.

She continued, “If I have misunderstood or mistaken in any of these actions or misunderstood that these county board members condone such things I am very happy to be corrected. But the culmination of this kind of destructive discourse are manifestations of and/or contribute to threatening the reduction of the diverse health and human services much needed throughout the county.”

While many people live wonderful and fulfilling lives many individuals are suffering with addiction, distress, isolation and other hardships that the department helps treat, Tokars said.

“Persons wishing to serve under the capacity of a county official must not cheat the good faith of the community by harboring an agenda to actually destroy the diverse services provided by the departments of the county once gaining access to that public office,” she warned.

Board members did not respond to Tokars’ remarks.

Kendall deploys defibrillator, County seeking fourth animal Narcan in recent incidents control warden in three years SHAW MEDIA

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com Kendall County will be on its fourth animal control director in three years once officials find a replacement for Michael Mulvaney who resigned last month after just 29 days in the position.

The County Board’s Animal Control Committee will begin the process of finding a new director during their next meeting Oct. 21.

County Board member Jeff Wehrli, who chairs the committee, declined comment on Mulvaney’s resignation but said he is concerned with the turnover in leadership at the department.

Prior Animal Control Directors Anna Payton and Anna Friedman each resigned after only about a year in the role.

“The past two leaders that we’ve had have offered to come back and help us in the interim. In other words, they didn’t leave for bad reasons—one left because of a job improvement and one left because of family reasons,” Wehrli said. “I would guess that we might take them up on it.”

Currently Jeff Wilkins, the county’s administrator, and Laura Pawson, the department’s assistant warden, are running the day-to-day operations of the department.

Wehrli said they are going to take their time in finding a new director and the committee is in preliminary talks about their next move. He added that it will be at least a month before they find a new director.

“Obviously there are a lot of budget constraints but we want to make sure

that Animal Control is run efficiently and we take care of the animals,” Wehrli said.

Kendall County Board Chairman John Shaw said that Mulvaney did not have a valid driver’s license, a requirement for the director’s position.

“He resigned because he couldn’t, at the time, produce a valid driver’s license,” Shaw said.

According to court records from the Kendall and Kane County Circuit Clerk’s offices, Mulvaney had multiple traffic violations dating back to 1995, including speeding tickets, driving uninsured and driving on a suspended license.

Referring to county staff, Shaw said, “It’s really a colossal example of perhaps not doing ones homework when hiring someone.”

The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office reported this week the agency’s patrol deputies are already making use of Narcan and an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED).

According to the Sheriff’s Office, on Oct. 12 at approximately 2:56 a.m. patrol deputies responded to the 1000 block of Route 30 near Oswego for a report of a subject down who was not breath-

ing and unresponsive. Deputies quickly deployed the AED machine, and began CPR until medics arrived on scene. Though deputies and medics did everything they could, the subject unfortunately succumbed.

Later that evening, at approximately 8:08 p.m., patrol deputies were called to the 0-10 block of Hillstone Road in the Boulder Hill Subdivision for a report of an overdose.

7th Annual

KAT riders latest victims HALLOWEEN CANDY BUY BACK of state’s budget impasse?

Money for you – Candy for our Troops!!!

The fallout from the continuing budget stalemate in Springfield is continuing to be felt here in Kendall County.

As we reported this past week, officials with the Kendall Area Transit (KAT) service, the agency that provides nearly 28,000 dial-a-ride trips for county residents annually, are considering cutting back on the service beginning next month due to a shortage of operating revenue from the state.

According to Paul Lalonde, interim associate director of the Voluntary Action Center, KAT operators, the agency received its final payment from the state for the prior fiscal year two weeks ago and does not expect to get any additional funding until the General Assembly and Governor Bruce Rauner come to terms on a new budget. As a result, we all may soon be seeing fewer of the familiar white KAT step-vans picking up and dropping off riders in the county.

The possibility that the county’s only public transit service may have to curtail its service or even shutdown completely should be a matter of concern to all county residents and elected officials.

For the hundreds of KAT riders, a service cutback will make it more difficult if not impossible for them to reach their places of employment, stores and medical appointments. A total shutdown of the service will leave many of them stranded.

For businesses, a reduction or shutdown of KAT service will mean a loss of customers and employees who will find it difficult if not impossible to get to work.

Several years ago the county board saw the growing need for a public transportation service in the county and wisely seized the opportunity to fund it using a combination of federal, state and county revenues. Since that time the demand for KAT and its low cost diala-ride service has continued to grow.

For a large and growing number of country residents – including many living on fixed or reduced incomes – KAT’s dial-a-ride service is not a luxury, but a necessity. To have it cutback or eliminated as a result of the budget wrangling in Springfield would be the height of folly.

We encourage county residents to contact Governor Bruce Rauner’s

Wednesday November 4th • 3-5pm

office and their local state lawmakers and urge them to act on a budget that will preserve funding for KAT and the state’s other essential public services.

One word of caution to residents who do contact their local state lawmakers: If they do reach their lawmakers, it’s likely that their local Democrat lawmakers will blame the budget impasse on Gov. Rauner, while the Republican lawmakers

will blame the budget impasse on Democrat House Speaker Mike Madigan.

Residents should not accept this explanation as a viable reason for the possible loss of KAT service or any other public service.

They should implore their lawmakers to set aside their political differences and the wishes of their party bosses and act on behalf of the taxpaying public they serve.

FORUM A literal free ride

Thursday, October 22, 2015 Plano Record • Page 5

To the Editor: I object to Mr. Lalonde’s letter in last week’s Forum which strongly implies Kendall Area Transit’s (KAT) funding from the State of Illinois is being held up by the whims of politicians.

His language is either being made out of willful ignorance or a desire to manipulate readers and gloss over real state funding problems.

The state is effectively bankrupt. The budget stalemate is the result of the current administration’s desire for politicians and programs dependent upon state funding to deal with the reality of run-away state spending beyond revenues. The state has more debt and unfunded pension obligations than it can pay despite having a higher income tax levies. The state can no longer fill the revenue gaps with more debt as the state has the worst credit rating among all 50 states with a new downgrade of state debt by Fitch just this week.

The article on KAT’s funding problems and the impact on service was reasonably fair and balanced. Based on the facts provided, the cost per ride is about $40. It is not surprising how much KAT has grown given users pay only about 10 percent of the cost. Essentially free programs success can’t be accurately measured by growth.

I agree that politicians act on whims on a regular basis. Those in public office act on a whim every time they build another welfare program that doesn’t have a sustainable funding mechanism. By this definition, the creation of KAT was a whim because state money was

the primary funding source. At KAT’s inception the state already had funding issues of its own and was not a stable funding source. Given the welfare nature of the program, the exponential growth has greatly increased the reliance on state funding.

I agree KAT is valuable to its users. The issue is in how to fund it. Since KAT provides services to the county the funding should come from the county. Perhaps Mr. Lalonde could ask the county for an increase in real estate or gas taxes. I would not support either option as I feel I already pay too much in taxes and other residents likely feel the same. Alternatively, KAT should consider charging users something closer to the actual cost. This would cut down on the exponential growth and provide some needed additional funding.

Mr. Lalonde has said the service benefits others beyond the direct users. I can identify with this premise as my wife’s mother is dependent upon her children for transportation. I would be willing to pay $30-$40 to get my mother-inlaw to a needed doctor appointment if getting off of work was not feasible and a service like KAT was the only alternative.

Mr. Lalonde, the issue is in whom pays for KAT and your letter essentially ignores this issue. I, for one, am tired of paying for the never ending additions of government welfare programs that in this case give users a literal “free ride”.

Just a few thoughts

To the Editor: After the shootings in Oregon we get the usual call for more gun control. The question is why does the media insist on giving these nuts their 15 minutes of fame? These nuts all want to go out in a blaze of glory, in their warped minds, with their names posted all over the news. How many of these events may have not occurred if the media came out and said they will no longer publish the shooters name and just make the story about the victims. The same for the news on tv, no pictures of the shooter or background info, etc.

As for the gun control aspect, let’s not forget the bombing in Oklahoma City killed more people than most of the current mass shootings combined and it didn’t involve any guns.

If the media in the big cities was interested doing fair reporting instead of automatically supporting the lefty Dems call for more controls they could start by reporting how many of shooters arrested legally owned the guns they used for their crimes. I think it’s a safe bet that none of them were legal.

The politicians like to say that guns are too available. To me the real question is where are they getting the money to buy these illegal street guns. Most of these shootings occur in minority neighborhoods where a high percentage of residents are on welfare, yet they have money to buy these guns illegally.

It’s just easier for the Dems to call for more

controls and punish the law-abiding so they don’t have to admit that one of their major voting blocks is the problem.

If the media was really interested in helping instead of just doing tabloid reporting they would start to do stories of the kids that grew up in single parent households in the gang and drug infested neighborhoods that stayed clear of it all, went to school and accomplished something in their lives, then point to them as examples and ask the troublemakers what their excuse is for not doing the same.

Speaking of education, why is it the Dems refuse to support school vouchers? It’s not about education, it’s about votes. They support the teachers unions regardless of results to keep their financial and election support.

The latest scandal in the Chicago School Board is more proof that politics and greed trump everything else. The question I would ask is why the school board has to spend $20 million dollars to instruct principals how to do their jobs? I’m sure there are teachers within the system that are aware of the problems and are much better prepared to be principles than some political appointee. But then how long would a teacher turned principal last if their views on the problems within the district conflicted with that of the politicians.

This is just a few thoughts and questions about two topics that could each fill this entire page.

Bob Schwabauer Yorkville

Shabbona: The chief who renounced war REFLECTIONS Roger Matile Ask someone to name a local Indian chief, and you’re likely to hear the names of either Waubonsee or Shabbona. Both men were influential leaders of their tribal groups, but it was Shabbona who was dubbed “Friend of the White Man” by the white settlers who flooded into northern Illinois after 1832. It wasn’t necessarily a compliment from the viewpoint of Native Americans.

Although sources differ about his birthplace, Shabbona himself told historian Nehemiah Matson he had been born about 1775 along the Kankakee River in what is now Will County near Wilmington, the son of an Ottawa father and a Seneca mother. Just under 6 feet in height, he was powerfully built, his name meaning, according to various sources, “Burly Shoulders,” “Indomitable,” “Hardy,” or “Built Like a Bear.”

Since Shabbona could neither read nor write English, the spelling of his name varied widely.

Ellen M. Whitney in The Black Hawk War, 1831-1832, records his name spelled as Chabone, Chaboni, Chabonie, Chabonne, Chaborne, Chamblee, Chamblie, Chambly, Shabanee, Shabanie, Shabehnay, Shabenai, Shabeneai, Shabonee and Shaubena.

Shabbona was introduced to the Native Americans’ struggle against European encroachment by his father, reportedly a nephew of the

When the Winnebagoe Indians decided to fight the incursion of American settlers on Indian land in southern Wisconsin in 1825, Chief Shabbona, above, and other Three Fires chiefs helped defuse hostilities. charismatic Ottawa leader Pontiac. Pontiac conceived of 1763’s Pontiac’s Rebellion to drive the British and American victors of the French and Indian War out of the area north and west of the Ohio River.

Decades before that, some Ottawas had closely allied themselves with bands of the Potawatomi and Chippewa tribes. In 1746, the three related tribal groups formed a loose alliance, the Three Fires Confederacy.

That year, aiming to fill the vacuum created by the rapid disintegration of the once mighty Illinois Confederacy, the Three Fires moved south from Wisconsin and

Michigan into northern Illinois, where they settled along the Kankakee, Illinois, DesPlaines, DuPage, and Fox rivers.

The three tribal groups mixed freely. Shabbona’s first wife was Pokanoka, the daughter of a Potawatomi chief. Likely based on his skill as a warrior and his leadership ability, Shabbona, although an ethnic Ottawa, was elevated to chief upon his father-inlaw’s death.

The Three Fires were mostly neutral during the Revolutionary War, although they leaned towards the British. After the Revolution, British forces stayed

on in the Old Northwest, where they kept the area in turmoil by supporting such anti-American Indian chiefs as the Shawnee military leader Blue Jacket.

It’s likely Shabbona participated in the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794 when Blue Jacket fought U.S. government forces under Gen. Anthony Wayne in modern Ohio. The U.S. Army won the battle, and broke Blue Jacket’s alliance.

Shabbona’s name appears on the Treaty of Greenville signed between the western tribes and the Americans that ended that phase of the conflict.

Despite the setback, agents working on behalf of both the British Government and British fur trade companies continued to support Native American defiance of U.S. control.

Starting in the early 1800s, the influential Shawnee chief, Tecumseh, and his brother, called the Prophet, established the Wabash Confederacy. Comprised of tribes in Ohio and the Illinois Country, its goal was to evict the Americans from the Old Northwest. In 1810, Tecumseh made a recruiting trip to Illinois, where he visited Shabbona’s village, then located southwest of Chicago on the Illinois River. Shabbona was won over by the Shawnee chief’s convictions, and joined him, traveling throughout northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin recruiting more members of the Wabash Confederacy.

In 1811, when Gen. William Henry Harrison marched on Tecumseh’s base at Prophetstown in Indiana, Shabbona, along

with chiefs Waubonsee and Winamac, led their Potawatomi contingent alongside Tecumseh’s other allies against the Americans at the Battle of Tippecanoe.

Harrison’s forces prevailed, and the tribes scattered back to their homelands.

In 1812, war again broke out between the U.S. and Britain, and the Old Northwest became one of its theaters of operation. Shabbona and other Potawatomi chiefs led their forces to Canada where they joined Tecumseh’s Native Americans fighting the invading U.S. Army, again under the command of Harrison. At the Battle of the Thames in Ontario Province, Shabbona fought beside Tecumseh until the Americans prevailed, the allied Indian and British army was beaten, and Tecumseh killed in action.

Following that defeat, Shabbona returned to Illinois. After much deliberation, he concluded further opposition to the Americans was fruitless. In 1825, when the Winnebagoes decided to fight the incursion of American settlers on Indian land in southern Wisconsin, Shabbona and other Three Fires chiefs helped defuse hostilities. In return, Shabbona received, in the Treaty of 1829, a land grant of two sections, 1,280 acres, that became known as Shabbona Grove in modern DeKalb County, and where the chief moved his village.

When the Black Hawk War broke out in 1832, Shabbona again worked hard to defuse hostilities. While he was able to keep most of the Three Fires bands out of the conflict, he wasn’t entirely successful. On the war’s

outbreak, he and his nephew, like a pair of latter day Paul Reveres, rode up the Fox River Valley warning settlers to flee to Chicago.

One group of pioneers who had gathered at the Davis claim on Indian Creek in LaSalle County just south of Kendall County declined to leave, and were killed by Potawatomis angered by Davis’s brutal treatment of them.

Following the Black Hawk War, the U.S. Government decreed that all Indians were to be removed from Illinois, and in 1836, most were moved west of the Mississippi. Shabbona and his wife accompanied Three Fires groups who began leaving Illinois as early as 1835, although he did not give up title to the reserve he’d been granted.

He returned to Illinois in 1837 and lived at Shabbona Grove until 1849 when he left to visit Kansas. When he returned in 1852, he found that his reserve had been sold at public auction.

The citizens of Ottawa, seeing that the old chief’s land had been stolen from him, pooled their resources and bought him a small farm near Seneca. In an interesting historical sidelight, in 1858 he attended the Lincoln-Douglas debate at Ottawa where he greeted his old Black Hawk War comrade, Abraham Lincoln.

Shabbona died on his farm and is buried at Morris in Evergreen Cemetery under a marker paid for by donations from his admiring neighbors.

Waubonsee celebrates rich past and bright future in accessibility This month, Waubonsee Community College will join the rest of the country in celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which was signed into law on July 26, 1990. Our celebration will inspire us all to reflect on Waubonsee’s proud history of commitment to accessibility and reaffirm our united, all-inclusive approach.

The ADA is a comprehensive civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability.

Waubonsee’s tradition of supporting people with disabilities dates back to even before the ADA was signed into law, when the college established the Waubonsee Hearing Impaired Program (WHIP) in the 1973-74 school year.

This program eventually transitioned into the Access Center for Disability Resources, which continues to operate.

During our celebra-

• REPORTS

Continued from page 7 DUI charge Brian T. Harrington, 44, of the 2200 block of Sunrise Circle, Aurora, was charged with DUI, resisting a peace officer, driving in the wrong lane and operating an uninsured motor vehicle at about 8:10 p.m.

Oct. 18 at Arbor Court and Norway Place in Oswego Township, Kendall County Sheriff’s police said.

Hit-and-run incident Someone struck a vehicle parked between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Oct 19 in the 1200 block of Route 34 in Oswego Township, the owner told Kendall County Sheriff’s police.

Several charges Adilene Manzanarez, 27, of the 0-99 block of East Railroad Street, Sandwich, was charged with driving while license suspended and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia after a traffic stop at about 6:15 p.m. Oct. 19 at Route 34 and Autumn Creek Boulevard in Bristol Township, Kendall County Sheriff’s police said.

Theft from vehicle Money and miscellaneous items were taken from two vehicles parked between 10 p.m. Oct. 17 and 10 a.m. Oct. 18 in the 200 block of Woodland Drive, Plano, the owner told Kendall County Sheriff’s police.

WAUBONSEE VOICES Emily Hinton tion on the Sugar Grove Campus on Oct. 28, Waubonsee President Dr. Christine Sobek will sign a proclamation affirming the college’s continued commitment to full ADA compliance.

The event will be held in the lobby of the Student Center on the Sugar Grove Campus at 1:30 p.m., and the public is welcome to attend.

Even 25 years after the ADA was signed, its purpose is always at the front of our minds. We are committed to the notion that accessibility is up to all of us, all of the time.

To that end, Waubonsee offers a number of ways for faculty, staff and students to be part of the process of improving and maintaining accessibility. One good example of

that is our student organization, Delta Sigma Omicron, which has more than 40 active members, including students with and without disabilities.

The organization brings disability awareness and inclusion to the forefront on campus.

Waubonsee’s Access Center for Disability Resources offers support to students with disabilities, to help them to be successful in college level classes.

And the college-wide commitment to accessibil-

Even 25 years after the ADA was signed, its purpose is always at the front of our minds. We are committed to the notion that accessibility is up to all of us, all of the time. ity is evident in the work being done by the Accessibility Advisory Committee, a cross-functional committee that has been successful in identifying needs and making changes across campus.

One example of their efforts was the addition of RT.

PREP FOOTBALL: PLANO 48, SENECA 23

Plano wins big on Senior Night CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com The Plano football team won its fifth straight game after defeating Seneca, 48-23, in Plano in Week 8 of the season on Senior Night in an Interstate Eight Conference crossover. The Reapers are now 7-1 overall entering Week 9 of the season at Lisle.

Plano jumped out to a 14-3 lead after one quarter and led 20-3 at the break. The Fighting Irish scored first on a 33yard field goal with 7:01 left in the first quarter.

The Reapers then scored the next 41 points and did not allow Seneca to put points on the scoreboard until early in the fourth quarter.

“It was a weird night (because) it looks like we got off to a good start, but it didn’t feel that way,” Plano head coach Brad Kunz said. “Elijah Maisonet’s kick return score gave us some energy, Jay (Winter) did his thing, (quarterback) Tyler (Ward) did a great job rushing the ball and we had Michael Marshall back in the mix.

The O-line did a great job and

things started rolling in the right direction.”

The Reapers’ scoring started with Maisonet’s 85yard kick return. Jay Winter then scored Plano’s next touchdown on a 1-yard run to cap the first quarter scoring with 3:56 left on the clock.

Plano’s first and only touchdown of the second quarter arrived with 8:12 left in the second half, when Ward hit Sergio Chavez with a 53-yard pass. Just 13 seconds into the third quarter, Winter posted a 64-yard touchdown. Ward connected on the two-point conversion, and the Reapers led 28-3.

Ward rushed for 34 yards for Plano’s next touchdown with 7:52 to go in the third quarter. Winter then tallied his third score of the contest with a three-yard run with 3:38 on the clock. Entering the final frame, the Reapers led, 41-3.

Seneca outscored the Reapers, 14-7, in the fourth quarter.

The Reapers’ final score of the game came via Marshall on a 51-yard run with less than two minutes to play.

Plano ended up with 460

yards of total offense, ahead of Seneca’s 291. Winter led the way with 142 yards rushing and Marshall posted 123.

Ward had 77 yards rushing with 104 yards passing.

Chavez finished with 65 yards receiving and hit two PATs. Winter, a junior, now has 1,233 yards rushing and has scored 19 touchdowns this season.

“I’m definitely proud of the way Jay and Michael ran,” Kunz said. “Jay is one of the leading rushers in the state, and it’s been an impressive season for him.”

Kunz was also impressed with his Reapers, who played well and kept their composure on Senior Night.

“This group of seniors have really carried the torch over from last season,” Kunz said. “We couldn’t have asked for more from them.”

Next up for the Reapers in Week 9 is another conference crossover at Lisle on Benedictine University’s field.

The Lions are 6-2 overall and are coming off a playoff-locking 7-3 victory over Coal City in Week 8.

Coach’s

CORNER Reaper Family,

by Coach Kunz

As a high school football coach, there are not a lot of weeks that are as exciting and interesting as Week 9. If you are an avid high school football fan, you know that this week is not only the last week of the season, but it is the week that the pairings for the IHSA football playoffs are finalized. All around the state, coaches, fans, administrators, journalists, and “experts” are spending a lot of time trying to put together the puzzle of who will face whom as the playoffs come around. This week I want to give insight as to how the playoff pairings are decided.

Fortunately for the Reapers, we are 1 of 156 teams that have already clinched a playoff berth by winning at least six games. There are 256 teams total that will comprise the IHSA football playoffs and while we have already punched our ticket to get to play in the playoffs, there is still a lot on the line for our Week 9 matchup at Benedictine University where the Lisle Lions call home.

The first factor that sorts the 256 teams is the number of wins the team accrues in their nine-game season. When a team wins its sixth game of the year, it is considered a playoff clincher, as mathematically, all nine, eight, seven, and six-win teams will be in the top 256 teams in the state. Many of these teams will have also clinched because they are conference champions. Technically a team could be 4-5 and make the playoffs if they won their conference.

After the teams are sorted by wins, the teams are sorted by playoff points – which is the term for the number of wins combined for the nine opponents that the team faces in the regular season. We currently have 33 playoff points.

At the bottom of the 256 teams there will be many teams that are 5-4. With a 5-4 record, there is no guarantee for making the playoffs, and there will be a cutoff determined for how many playoff points a 5-4 team will need in order to make the top 256. Over the last six years, that number has been as low as 36 points, and as high as 40 points. Whatever that number is, we will eventually be left with 256 teams.

Now that we have 256 teams, the school’s enrollments will be taken into account. A school can guess what class 1A-8A they belong to, but until the 256 teams are determined, there are no true classes in football. The school enrollments are decided by how many students start the school year enrolled in the high school when school started the previous year. So, Plano’s enrollment of 644 is the number of students in Plano High School in August of 2014. With these 256 teams, now, the IHSA will put them in groups of 32 teams. The smallest 32 are in 1A, all the way up to the biggest 32 which would be 8A. We anticipate being in 4A this year as we have since 2008.

The final step is determining matchups. For 6A-8A the teams are ranked 1-32 based on their wins and playoff points and then put in a traditional 32-team bracket. For 1A-5A, each group of 32 will be split into 16 south bracket teams, and 16 north bracket teams. Those teams are each put into a 16 team bracket with the last team standing from the south meeting the last team standing from the north. These teams will play Thanksgiving weekend at NIU Huskie Stadium.

This Saturday at 8 p.m. on Comcast Sports Network, the pairings will be announced. I hope you can tune in and see who the Reapers will be playing. If we win at Lisle, we will likely be hosting a first round playoff game in Reaper Stadium. We hope there are many more weeks to go, and since the “Nation Never Stops,” we hope you will jump aboard and enjoy the ride. We need all of our fans to come out and support these young men as they chase after their goals.

Reaper Up!

Plano loses a close one to Coal City Plano heads to regional starting line CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com

Truck Driver Training

If there is such thing as a good loss, the Plano girls’ volleyball team experienced exactly that against Coal City last Thursday night.

After Plano won Game 1, Coal City took the next two to take the match 15-25, 25-21, 2522 in an Interstate Eight Conference outing and Volley for the Cure event.

“It was a fun match, and that’s all I can ask for,” Plano head coach Lisa Esmond said. “They played as a team, were communicating and played scrappy. We made Coal City step up and play, and they did.”

The Reapers are now 1316 overall going after the 12team Plano Varsity Invite on Saturday. Plano’s conference record of 5-5 is tied for the best-ever league showing with one game to go against Reed-Custer. The final game of the regular season is Senior Night against Serena.

“It’s exciting, and it’s something to shoot for,” Esmond said.

In Game 1, Plano never trailed. The Reapers jumped out to a 10-2 advantage before the Coalers attempted to catch up with four straight points. Plano then scored the next six points and went up 16-6 after Coal City hit the ball out of bounds.

Coal City then tallied the

next four points, and the next time the Reapers led by double-digits was after a tip kill from Giselle Melendez (seven points, 13 digs, seven kills) that put Plano ahead 21-11. A kill from Allison Smith (12 kills, 16 digs) capped Game 1.

“We came out, played well and played defense,” Esmond said. “Coal City started blocking us, so we made a change - we had to find another comfort zone. Everything really looked good.”

In Game 2, Plano scored the first six points and led by as much as 18-10 after a kill from Smith. Coal City, however, was able to creep back into the game, tied it at 20 on a kill and took the lead for the first time, 21-20, on a Reapers’ hitting error. The Coalers then scored the next four of five points, including the final two to send the match to the third and deciding game.

There were nine ties in Game 3 with neither team winning by more than four points when the Coalers broke the final knot - 21-21 with back-to-back hitting errors from the Reapers. Coal City wrapped up the match on two consecutive hitting errors by Plano.

Notes: On Oct. 13, Lisle defeated Plano, 25-14, 25-17, in conference action. The Reapers were led by Rachel Duffy (one dig, one block, three kills, one assist), Smith (three points, one ace, five

kills, one block, six digs) and Lindsay Hoalt (four points, one ace, eight assists, three digs).

At the Plano Varsity Invite, the Reapers went 2-3 and placed seventh overall with a loss to Genoa-Kingston (25-18, 25-16), a win over Rockford Jefferson (25-14, 25-23), losses to Westmont (25-21, 25-22) and Tolono Unity (25-18, 25-22) and a final victory over St. Bede (23-25, 25-21, 15-12).

Plano was led by Duffy (24 kills, nine blocks), Smith (20 kills, four blocks, 21 points, six aces, 49 digs), Emily Schopp (All-Tournament team, 18 kills, six blocks), Melendez (11 kills, 20 points, four aces, 38 digs), Gann (eight kills, 14 digs) and Hoalt (64 assists, 11 digs).

KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com The Plano cross country teams closed out the regular season at Lisle Community Park for the annual Interstate Eight Conference/ Independent Meet last Saturday.

The Reapers now turn their attention to the 13team Class 1A Seneca Regional on Saturday. First race is scheduled for 10 a.m. The top seven teams will move on to the Oregon Sectional, in addition to the first five runners not members of qualifying teams.

“I call this championship mode. It’s the championship part of the season when the pressure is on,” Plano head coach Kristy

Lehner said. “They’ve done all the hard work and it’s time now to perform.

They’re understanding that we don’t have to do anything new or change things up.

“Looking at last year, we missed going to sectionals as a boys’ team by one point and we had some kids that weren’t there. All the kids are healthy this year, and we’ll give it our best shot,” Lehner continued.

Last weekend, the Plano boys placed fourth among conference teams with 107 points, with Sandwich narrowly winning over Streator, 62-64, and Westmont third at 92.

Senior Lucas Thoms was 23rd overall in 18:37 while freshman Jorge Agu-

The Plano girls placed seventh overall, with Sandwich edging out Seneca 5455 for the championship.

Senior Yasmine Esparza clocked in at 22:01 to place 22nd overall and junior Demetra Phylactos was right behind in 22:33 to take 23rd. Senior Jessica Prentice (23:24), junior Samantha Stamper (23:42) and junior Sarah Roberts (26:57) also raced for Plano.

GIRLS GOLF: IHSA CLASS A TOURNAMENT

Plano places 10th at state Senior Rylie Loux earns medal after finishing ninth overall CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com The Plano girls golf team capped the most successful season in school history with a 10thplace finish at the Class A state tournament last Saturday at Red Tail Run Golf Course in Decatur.

The Reapers capped the season with a two-day team score of 781. Rochester won the state title with a 675. Massac County was second with a 691 and Charleston was third (695).

“We are the 10th-best team (in Class A) in Illinois – I have no complaints,” Plano head coach Tammy McGinnis said. “We are thrilled to finish as high as we could have and with our performance.”

Plano senior Rylie Loux made her fourth state appearance last weekend and finished as one of the top 10 individuals to earn a ninth-place state medal when she scored a 164. Maddie Hurt from IC Catholic and Morgan Savage from Rochester each posted the top score of 152.

The Plano girls’ golf team captured 10th place at the Class A state tournament, which was held at Red Tail Run Golf Course in Decatur last weekend.

Plano senior Rylie Loux capped her four-year varsity golf career with a ninth-place overall finish at the Class A state tournament.

“We are thrilled for Rylie. She worked four years for this. She fought hard,” McGinnis said.

“We thought she had a great chance at this. It was an exciting ending.”

In addition to Loux, senior Arieanna Accidentale finished with

a 197, followed by sophomore Lexi Clark and Ashley Martinez (210 each), freshman Madison Long (228) and sophomore Shannen Paxton (236). “(Loux is) a Division-I or Division-II caliber golfer, has a knowledge greater than other golfers and is a great asset to our team, but one golfer doesn’t make a whole team,” McGinnis said. “We had a really great team this year.

That’s why we went to state.”

The Reapers finished the regular season 16-0 in dual meets and placed second at the Interstate Eight Conference tournament behind Lisle – which finished 11th behind Plano in the state team standings.

“We are the 10th-best team (in Class A) in Illinois – I have no complaints. We are thrilled to finish as high as we could have and with our performance.”

Tammy McGinnis Plano golf coach Plano won its first-ever postseason plaque when it won first place at the Class A Woodstock North Regional. The Reapers advanced to the state tournament after placing second at the Nazareth Sectional.

“What a wild ride,” McGinnis said. “It was so exciting. I’m so glad the girls got to experience state.”

The Reapers graduate two key seniors in Loux and Accidentale, with four state qualifiers back in the lineup for Plano next fall.

“Of course they will be missed, but it’s time to let them fly out of the nest,” McGinnis said. “It’s always emotional, (but) there’s no reason why we can’t get back to state. We now have four players with state experience.”

BOYS SOCCER: SERENA 2, PLANO 0

Plano shut out in Class 1A regional title game “We didn’t finish on shots as much as I would have liked, but it wasn’t a one-sided game.

We went out well. They showed good character.”

CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com After upsetting Newark in the Class 1A Serena Regional semifinal, the Plano boys’ soccer team was ready for another upset against the host Huskers in the championship game on Friday.

Unfortunately for the No. 8-seeded Reapers, they fell short, as No. 7 Serena won the regional title after topping Plano, 2-0. With the win, the Huskers moved on to the Peoria Christian Sectional.

“We played well,” said Plano head coach Tom Dean, whose Reapers fell to Serena, 5-2, earlier in the season. “The boys left it all on the field. They played a very physical game. We didn’t finish on shots as much as I would have liked, but it wasn’t a one-sided game. We went out well. They showed good character.”

Plano finished the 2015 season at 5-15-2 overall (1-9 in the Interstate Eight Conference). Two of the Reapers’ wins this year arrived in the playoffs, as they started postseason action with a 9-2 victory over No. 9 Paw Paw in addition to defeating No. 2 Newark, 3-2, to earn the right to play in the regional title game.

To get to the regional title game, Serena defeated No. 3 Earlville, 2-0.

Tom Dean Plano soccer coach

Eric Miller-emiller@shawmedia.com

Plano’s Julian Moreno and Hugo Nunez fight for the ball with two Serena defenders in the Class 1A Serena Regional final.

“We’ve come out flat on quite a few occasions, but we came out well,” Dean said. “When we went down 2-0, we didn’t break down.

The boys did not break down.

They didn’t start getting on each other.”

Both of Serena’s goals were

scored by Kory Cantlin with both assists from Dawson Fuller. The Huskers led 1-0 at the break after Cantlin’s first goal was counted with 11:43 to play in the first half.

His second score was put in with 13:56 left in the contest.

“It was tough. They were able to

finish their goals, but we did come up with a lot of chances,” Plano senior midfielder Hugo Nunez said.

“We played our hearts out. This is a great group of guys. We did well and we never gave up.”

Plano’s sophomore goalie Trev-

or Scott earned 12 saves in the loss. He broke the single-season save record in goal for the Reapers. Junior Ivan Alanis is now in the top two in program history in goals scored and Angel Avila is up there on career assists in school history as well.

Nunez is one of eight seniors graduating from the Reapers. That also includes midfielder Izaiah Avila, defender Alexander McKie, forward/midfielder Angel Avila, midfielder Willie Velasquez, midfielder/forward Robert Jacobsen, midfielder Gerardo Barraza and defender Noel Salas.

“I can’t say enough about the captains – Angel, Robert and Hugo,” Dean said. “They have led our team on the field, off the field and in the classroom. Just that little stuff is good to see.”

Arthur Daniel Crawford, 85, of Yorkville, IL, passed away on Oct. 5, 2015, at Tillers Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. He was born November 1, 1929, in Chicago, IL. Dan graduated college with a degree in Mathematics from DePaul University. He began his career with Western Electric in Chicago and stayed with the company through many name changes until his retirement in 1990. He moved his family to Yorkville, Illinois in 1966 and remained in the house he built until his death. Dan always had a love for the railroad and worked for The Nickleplate in Chicago for a short time.

His favorite hobby was Lionel model trains and he spent countless hours at his workbench fixing, painting and rebuilding many different parts of his collection. Every year for Christmas, there was a large layout in the front room which many nieces, nephews and neighborhood children came to see. He loved to attend the train shows at the Dupage County Fairgrounds and in the past year he attended those shows with his brother, Ray. Dan loved to go out to eat and his favorite spots included Sunfield Restaurant in Yorkville and Select Restaurant in Montgomery. Dan made many friends at these spots and those that knew him have fond memories of his jokes and antics. Dan will be remembered for his ability to laugh at himself and always tell a good joke. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.

Kendall County State’s Attorney Eric Weis was recently honored as the Northern Illinois University College of Law’s Alumnus of the Year.

NIU Law Dean Mark Cordes and the Law Alumni Council honored Weis and other alumni during the college’s annual awards reception held Sept. 24 at the University Club of Chicago.

Weis and six other NIU College of Law honorees were recognized for their career accomplishments, devotion to the public good, continued service to the law school and professional

integrity in their work in the public and private sectors.

“NIU Law is committed to instilling Eric in our grad- Weis uates a sense of giving back to the communities they serve,” said Dean Cordes. “It is a proud moment as we honor these alumni and friends of the school who best embody this spirit of public service.”

The 2015 award recipients were selected based on outstanding achievements

in their careers, demonstrated service to the NIU College of Law or their community, and professional integrity.

Weis, an Oswego native, is serving his third term as state’s attorney. Prior to his election in 2006, Weis was the first Assistant State’s Attorney of Kendall County where he served as the chief felony prosecutor for most major violent and drug-related offenses. Throughout his career, Weis has been involved in many organizations including the Illinois State’s Attorney’s Association, Kendall County Chiefs

of Police Association, and the Illinois Capital Litigation Bar. In 2013, Weis was nominated and sworn in as a member of the United States Supreme Court Bar. He has dedicated hundreds of hours serving the residents of Kendall County in various community activities including the Kendall County Food Pantry, Big Brothers/Big Sisters Regional Council, Kendall County Juvenile Justice Council, the Bristol-Kendall Fire Department, and Yorkville Youth Baseball and Soccer coach.

Kendall County youth in need of jobs can get help Youth in Kendall County are invited to apply to the Kendall Youth Employment Program (KYEP) that provides free training and employment for youth who are 16 to 24 years old.

According to KYEP Coordinator Mark Leigh, this free program will help youth overcome employment disadvantages and make some money.

“Youth will make shortterm and long-term plans,” said Mark Leigh, coordinator of the program. “They will make résumés, improve their interview skills, and receive a lot of help getting a job.”

If youth in the program are not able to find a job on their own, they can be placed in subsidized employment in which wages are paid by the youth employment program

while they are trained at a local business. The program also helps high school dropouts prepare for the GED with one-on-one tutoring and online lessons.

To be eligible for the program, youth must live in Kendall, DeKalb or Kane County.

Dropouts, parenting youth, and youth on probation are eligible regardless of household income, but others may

have to meet low-income guidelines.

The KYEP is run by the Grundy-Kendall Regional Office of Education and is funded by the River Valley Workforce Development Board.

The office is located at 109 W. Ridge St., Yorkville. To learn more about the program, call Mark or Laura at 630-553-4166 or go to http://roe24.org/ and click on the Services tab.

WCC to recognize Communities of Excellence participants Waubonsee Community College will hold a Recognition Ceremony on Wednesday, Oct. 28, for those completing the Communities of Excellence program.

Established in April 2014, the program provides training on skills and topics required for public sector employees to grow professionally, contribute more to their organizations and respond to change in government.

The ceremony takes place from 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Room 160 C at the Aurora Campus, 18 S.

River St., and will recognize ten municipal employees who have participated in the professional development series since its inception two years ago. The cities of Aurora, Elgin, Geneva, Plano, Sandwich and Yorkville, Kendall County, and villages of Oswego and Sugar Grove had employees take part in the program.

The national award-winning program was created after input from municipal leaders throughout the district on what they would like to see in a professional development program for

“One of the benefits is that it helps municipalities become more efficient and more effective.”

Kevin Riley Waubonsee representative their employees. The program exposes municipal employees to training facilitated by subject matter experts on the skills and topics that contribute to the

effective and efficient operation of local government.

There is networking, benchmarking and best practice sharing between participants that builds a culture of community between municipalities in the district.

Due to increased interest in the program, training sessions have been added to accommodate the demand.

Therefore, the group of participants now requires two weekly four-hour sessions at the Aurora Campus.

Kevin Riley, account representative, said it took about four months of collab-

oration with local government leaders to build the program.

“We like to say that this is the municipalities’ program because they offered ideas about their challenges,” he said. “What started out as a potential one-day workshop turned into a much larger program because we listened to their needs.”

Riley said material stays fresh because at the end of each six-week session, participants are polled to see what they want to have covered in the next session, in

addition to pre-scheduled topics.

“One of the benefits is that it helps municipalities become more efficient and more effective,” he said, adding that topics have included budgeting, strategic planning, communications and project management.

Over the course of its first two years, the program has had about 80 participants, nearly tripling from an initial group of 18.

The 10 participants who will be recognized in the ceremony have completed 96 hours of training each.

"I tried calorie counting for 2 years and only lost 25 pounds. As soon as I stopped counting, I started gaining back the weight. I was only eating 800 calories per day. I was hungry, tired, and not seeing the results I needed. After only 40 days on NutriMost I lost 30 pounds. It was very easy to follow, and I was never hungry. I have not weighed this little since I was in 4th grade! I can tell that this program did more then just help me lose weight. I have always struggled with focusing for long periods of time, but after going through this program, my mental clarity has increased dramatically as well as my job performance. I feel like a new me!

There is a simple in office procedure that can help to reduce the pain and dysfunction caused by knee OA. This simple procedure is extremely effective and covered by most insurance companies. With knee OA, there is less cushion between your bones. Our simple procedure injects a solution which increases the cushion between your bones. It’s really that simple. The treatment protocol takes about 1 month and involves some therapy,

knee supports, and injections (5 in total). As a qualified physician, I have been providing these injections for over 15 years. I continue to see successful treatments over and over again. There have been over 280 million injections performed worldwide giving me confidence in its safety and effectiveness. Call my office to schedule an evaluation to see if you are a candidate for this simple procedure. One of our most recent success stories comes from Chery.

She Says: “I came in with serious knee pain. I got a diagnosis on my first visit after an evaluation and x-rays.

Within a very short time after starting treatment, I was feeling better. I am very pleased with my results!” Chery

Smile! It Will Make You and Others Happy!

Things

We Don’t Know

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 smile, or with their pursed lips, to make them “For now we see only a frown), and while they hold that facial position you reflection as in a mirror; tell them a joke. Those who are holding the smile then we shall see face to face. usually rate the joke as being funnier, presumably Now I know in part; then I because they are already halfway laughing to start shall know fully, even as with. The moral of the experiment, if experiments I am fully known.” can be said to have a moral, is that our bodies often take the lead in making us feel happy or sad, —1 Corinthians 13: 12 NIV 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 smile, even when you don’t feel much like smiling, here is very little that we know with certainty. We often think we know why others or perhaps youwedon’t do what they do, but when we reflect honestly especially about howwhen unsure oftenfeel aremuch of our Andreally an added benefit to smilingofisothers. that own motives, it should be obvious like thatsmiling. we don’t know the motives it tendsworks, to spread The more that we know about how the universe boththeonhappiness. the largestHave and an theattitude smallest scales, from subatomic particles to the formation of galaxies, that the ismore realize how little and a countenance worthwe catching.

Ex-homeless man to volunteer for PADS Waubonsee to host Darrell McGhee knows what it’s like to be homeless, and now he wants to help those who are in the same situation that he once was.

Darrell, 35, will never forget how he felt on that cold December night last year when he walked into a homeless shelter site at Cross Lutheran Church in Yorkville.

“That’s when everything hit home,” he said. “That’s when I found out everything was realistic.”

McGhee was helped by Kendall County PADS last year, and now he wants to give back to the nonprofit agency that provides meals and overnight stays to the area’s homeless population.

Darrell had been living with his girlfriend in Aurora, hanging out in bars, and not trying too hard to find work.

He says he had “burned bridges” with his family, so when his girlfriend broke up with him, he had no place to live.

That’s when his grand-

mother told him about Public Action to Deliver Shelter (PADS) of Kendall CounDarrell ty. A quick McGhee call to the local police station led to a referral to the nearest PADS shelter site. So Darrell spent that first night, a Sunday, at Cross Lutheran.

Unlike most PADS guests, Darrell was fortunate enough to own a car. He could drive himself to the six other area churches that host PADS shelter sites in Kendall County throughout the week from mid-October to mid-April.

As the PADS season was ending last spring, Darrell realized that he needed to get serious about finding a job, lest he wind up homeless again. So that’s he when he contacted Manpower, which landed him a job with a local farm equipment company.

Shortly thereafter, Darrell

was able to save enough money to rent a room from an Aurora homeowner for $500 per month. He was recently laid off from his job but Manpower found him a new one, as a forklift operator. “They’ve been really kind,” he said of the employment agency.

In addition to becoming employed, Darrell has made other changes in his life. He attends The Edge Church in Aurora as well as meetings of Celebrate Recovery, a Christian 12-step program.

“I’m hanging out with better groups of people.”

He realizes, however, that not everyone becomes homeless on account of making “bad decisions” like he did.

“Some people are just a paycheck away from losing their homes.”

Darrell is looking forward to the upcoming PADS season, but for a different reason than the one he had last fall.

He plans to be a volunteer, helping others who are in the same predicament he was in.

He says PADS “needs people like me who have been homeless, who know what it’s like to have no place to go.” Since he works during the week, Darrell will most likely be volunteering on Saturday nights at the PADS shelter at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church in Montgomery.

Besides Cross Lutheran and St. Luke’s, the other participating PADS churches this year are Yorkville Congregational United Church of Christ; Harvest New Beginnings in Oswego; United Methodist Church of Plano; Trinity United Methodist Church, Yorkville; and Church of the Good Shepherd, Oswego.

Since 2010, Kendall County PADS has assisted more than 300 men, women, and children. That translates into 5,794 overnight stays and 17,369 meals. Information about becoming a volunteer at a PADS shelter site may be obtained online at kendallcountypads.org.

Student Life holds the Day of Service twice a year – once in fall and once in spring – and tries to coincide the fall event with the nationwide Make a Difference Day.

Limelight Theater presenting two plays The Oswegoland Park District’s Limelight Theater Company will present two shows in just one week.

First up is an original film noir-inspired fall show, “A Textbook Case of Larceny,” written by Ginger Simons and directed

by Brian Brems. The show performs at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22, at Traughber Junior High.

A series of thefts put eighth-grader Casper Keyes hot on the trail of the culprit, but he may be mixed up in more than he bargained for. Try to solve the case along with Casper in this original Limelight mystery.

Up next is a radio play version of “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” at 7 p.m.

Saturday, Oct. 24, at the Little White School Museum (72 Polk Street). Horror abounds in this original adaptation of 1918’s silent German film that travels deep into the recesses of the human mind.

A doctor at a Berlin mental asylum tries to get to the bottom of a series of mysterious abductions, but the truth is more shocking than he could ever have imagined.

Tickets for both shows are $8 for adults and $6 for students/seniors. All seats are general admission and tickets can be purchased online or at the door.

New fungal leaf disease ‘tar spot’ ID’d in N. Ill.

Corn leaf samples from three northern Illinois counties have been confirmed positive for the fungus Phyllachora maydis or its common name, tar spot, according to University of Illinois Plant Clinic director Suzanne Bissonnette.

Megan Romby, a national plant pathologist with the USDA Animal Plant Health Inspection Service in Beltsville, Md., confirmed that the samples were positive for the disease in the Illinois counties of LaSalle, DeKalb, and Bureau.

The samples were collected from commercial fields by Monsanto breeders and pathologists and sent to Kiersten Wise of Purdue University in response to her inquiry for samples and distribution information of the tar spot pathogen. Wise and Purdue Plant Clinic director Gail Ruhl initially identified the pathogen, which is new to the United States, and submitted confirmation samples to the USDA. Bissonnette said upon receipt of the Illinois samples, they diagnosed the fungus, contacted the University of Illinois Plant Clinic, and submitted the Illinois samples to the USDA for confirmation.

“Scouting for the disease has been active in Illinois,” Bissonnette said. “Jennifer Chaky of Pioneer Plant Diagnostic Clinic also has samples from Bureau County diagnosed with tar spot. The University of Illinois Plant Clinic has also diagnosed LaSalle county samples from Russ Higgins, U of I Extension agronomist in northern Illinois.”

Tar spot has distinctive symptoms. The fungal fruiting body, called an ascomata, looks like a spot of tar on the leaf. Lesions are black and sunken oval or circular.

They can be small flecks of about 1/64 of an inch up to about 5/64 of an inch. The lesions can merge together to produce an affected area up to 3/8 of an inch. “If you run your finger across the leaf you will feel tiny bumps,” Bissonnette explained.

Prior to the Indiana finding, tar spot was known to occur only in cool humid areas at high elevations in Latin America.

“There are actually two fungi that cause tar spot disease on corn: Phyllachora maydis and Monographella maydis,” Bissonnette said. “While Monographella maydis is known to be able to cause economic yield losses in Latin America, Phyllachora maydis is not known to significantly reduce yield. Other pathogens may be confused with tar spot, especially the overwintering teliospore or black phase of corn rust. Also, there are many fungi, called saprophytes that feed on dead corn tissue and form black splotches on the leaves.”

To date only one of the pathogens, Phyllachora maydis, has been found in Indiana and Illinois.

Growers who suspect tar spot are encouraged to submit a sample to the University of Illinois Plant Clinic.

“We would like to get a comprehensive idea of distribution in the state,” Bissonnette said.

Mindful eating: A conscious approach to health Mindful eating is important in achieving better health, but many people don’t understand what mindful means, said a University of Illinois Extension nutrition and wellness educator.

“Mindfulness is usually associated with meditation and stress relief, but it can also be a powerful tool when choosing what we eat, how we’re eating, and how our choices affect our health and our environment. Let’s take a closer look at how we can apply mindfulness to our everyday eating behaviors,” said educator Kristin Bogdonas.

To be mindful is to be aware so so let’s be aware of “who, what, when,

where, why, and how” we are eating, she said.

Why are you eating? Are you hungry? Are you experiencing stress? Are you sad? Are you celebrating?

Keep a food journal and watch for trends in your eating habits.

What are you eating?

Pay attention to food labels, ingredient lists, and sourcing. Avoid foods, such as refined sugars and carbohydrates, which trigger a stress response in your body.

When are you eating?

Avoid skipping meals if possible. Instead try to evenly space your meals and snacks throughout the day, which is easier on your body’s digestive sys-

tem, she noted.

Who is growing your food, and where does your food come from? Several factors affect nutrition content such as variety, production method, post-harvest handling, storage, and transportation. Local food is usually higher in nutrition content simply because it has traveled a shorter distance and the varieties chosen are for taste, not shelf stability, she said.

How are you eating? Engage your five senses and slow down to really appreciate and savor the experience. Eating is very sensual and perhaps our greatest weapon against disease, she said.

About now homeowners who enjoy the crackling fire outside in the fire pit may be thinking about that transition to the indoor fireplace. Burning questionable-quality firewood outside does not take away from the joy of sitting around the pit after dark.

However, inside, it can make a difference in the fireplace.

Whether you cut, split and dry your own firewood, or buy it for the winter, good management will reward you with more heat and less smoke. The heavier the wood, given the same moisture levels, the more heat will be released as it burns.

All wood contains moisture, and for good combustion, firewood will need to be kept for at least six to nine months outdoors and have a moisture content between 20 and 25 percent to burn well and not generate a lot of smoke. Of course, the drier the wood the more heat you will get back, so the longer you dry it and keep it dry, the more you benefit.

Firewood less than six inches in diameter can dry as they are; over that size and the wood will need to be split in order to season.

Seasoned firewood is easy to spot. The ends will be checked and have gray

DOWN THE GARDEN PATH Richard Hentschel color. This is important if you are buying your firewood. While you are splitting your own wood to dry, stack it in a crisscross fashion to allow the air to circulate through the stack.

If possible, do not stack directly on the ground or know that the bottom layer will attract decay fungi and a number of insects.

Because of this, also do not stack the wood next to the house or touching the siding. Stacking it away from the house also will increase airflow. To avoid another insect surprise, don’t bring in any firewood that you can’t burn in a week. If in the house for more than a few days, all kinds of insects that have overwintered will come to life and become nuisance pests indoors.

Firewood will need covering to keep rain and snow from being reabsorbed after the wood is dry. Use simple materials, like a tarp or a waste piece of plywood. You want to be sure to secure it so it will not blow off, but not so much

that it takes too much time to remove and put back on when you are stacking or removing wood to burn.

The covering should extend down the pile at least a foot or extend past the edges protecting much of the wood.

We have all thrown a piece of unseasoned wood on a fire and then realize a real drop in heat output.

Dry, seasoned firewood will provide about 20 percent or more heat than an equal amount of green or unseasoned firewood.

It takes energy to burn off the moisture before the firewood will burn. It is not recommended that you burn green wood indoors in the fireplace. Green wood generates a lot of smoke and more importantly creosote that can build up in the homes’ chimney. The key to a successful fire that provides the most heat is going to be that dry wood.

Seasonal Allergies

Affecting Your Life?

Each year seasonal allergies continue to get worse. People who have never had allergies in the past are all of the sudden suffering from seasonal allergies.

There are many common symptoms from allergies such as: runny nose, itchy eyes and throat, swollen eyes, fatigue…

What most people don’t know is that allergies lead to other (secondary) problems as well: sinus infections, pneumonia, chronic cough, upper respiratory infections, ear infections…

If the allergies can be stopped, then the secondary conditions…may never start. Do you have to change your lifestyle due to your allergies? Are you avoiding going outdoors during certain times of the year? Do your allergies dictate your social calendar? Are allergies affecting your sleep? Are you tired of being sick? Allergy testing and treatment may be your answer.

Seasonal allergy testing is traditionally performed with a “skin test.” This test puts a small amount of different allergens (such as ragweed, pollen, dust mites, grasses, etc.) in liquid form onto your skin and the doctor measures your skin reaction. This is a painless 20 minute test that we perform in our office. We test the 70 most common Midwest allergens.

Once you know what you are allergic to, you can now avoid that allergen. You can also receive treatment for the allergies through a desensitization process that will teach your body to stop reacting to the ragweed, grasses, trees, etc.

There are two forms of treatment: Traditional allergy injections or Self-administered treatment in your home Farah Malik, MD provides both options for her patients. Most patients choose the self-administered treatment in their home as it is more convenient, less painful, and less expensive. Allergy testing and treatment is covered by most all insurance companies (Medicaid excluded). Dr. Malik has been providing allergy treatment for more than 2 years and nearly every patient has responded well as evidenced by the results with repeat the allergy skin testing and overall reduced allergy symptoms.

Northern Illinois residents know that weather can vary greatly from county to county and from town to town. For 26 years, Kendall County volunteers have tracked rainfall across the county through the University of Illinois Extension Rainfall Network.

The volunteers reported a total average of 27.18 inches of rainfall between April 1 and Sept. 30, 2015. Since 1990, the lowest seasonal total average rainfall recorded by the volunteers was 12.67 inches reported in 2005, and the highest was 31.71 inches in 1993.

“We appreciate the hard work and dedication of these volunteers who record rainfall in Kendall County,” said Sandra Davis, University of Illinois Extension County Director. “This important data is used by community members, agricultural groups and other organizations.”

The National Weather Service (NWS) reported that June 2015 “was an extremely wet month for portions of northern and central Illinois and northwest Indiana.” In fact, the NWS called this June the wettest June on record for Illinois.

SAUCE SHORTCUT

The homemade stuff can’t be beat Rotini with Eggplant and

By the editors of RELISH MAGAZINE Of all the shortcuts in cooking, one of the best is using pasta sauce in a jar. Grocery shelves are lined with an assortment of brands and variations, some smoother, chunkier, or more seasoned than others but all incredibly easy to use.

Despite the convenience of storebought sauce, there is always the temptation to do a little tinkering.

Here, a splash of dry red wine adds a depth to the sauce that only wine can provide. Use the recipe as a blueprint. Depending on the thickness of the sauce, more liquid may be needed.

For this, pasta cooking water is perfect.

2 tablespoons olive oil 1 cup vertically sliced red onion 2 cups cubed, peeled eggplant 2 cups cubed zucchini 1/3 cup dry red wine 2 cups pasta tomato sauce from a jar 1/2 cup water 8 ounces (3 cups) uncooked rotini 4 tablespoons (1 ounce) grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, eggplant and zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Add wine and bring to a simmer, stirring with a large spoon, until wine evaporates. Add sauce and water and stir to combine. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. If too thick, add some pasta cooking water.

Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and transfer to serving plates. Top with sauce and sprinkle with cheese.

Serves 4.

Sunday Sauce: A taste of Italy

By LINDA BASSETT More Content Now The Sunday Sauce is the Italian-American sauce that extended families sat down to every week.

It was a way to keep family connected, continue traditions and recharge at the beginning of a week.

The sauce takes hours to cook, but it is not difficult.

The meats are served as a second course, after the pasta.

Sunday Sauce Makes 3 quarts

Italian-American cooks use meats their families like best, e.g. meatballs, sausages, even lamb or a small roast beef. Find salt pork at a specialty meat shop or at a supermarket butcher shop.

2 to 4 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic, peeled and left whole 4 to 6-ounce piece salt porkmeatballs, sausage, pork chops, small roast beef, etc.

1 onion, cut in half 2 carrots 2 stalks celery with leaves 3 tablespoons tomato paste 1/2 to 3/4 cup dry red wine, to taste 4 large cans Italian plum tomatoes, pureed in food processor salt, ground black pepper 2 large bunches fresh basil, left on the branch

Pat meats dry with paper towels.

Warm the oil over medium-high heat in a large heavy pot. Add garlic, cooking until lightly golden, then discard.

Add the meats, searing each one separately, until they are browned. Do not crowd.

Remove each meat from the pot; set aside.

Pour off any excess fat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pot.

Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until they begin to soften. The carrots will take the longest. Return the salt pork to the pot.

Stir in tomato paste and wine.

Cook, stirring for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the pureed tomatoes. Fill the empty tomato cans 3/4 full with water, swirling it around to remove any tomato clinging to the sides; pour the water into the pot. Bring to a boil.

Immediately reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook, partially covered, for about 2 hours. Remove and discard vegetables.

Return the meats to the pot. Add salt and pepper. Simmer gently for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, adding fresh basil in the last 20 minutes of cooking. If the sauce thickens too much, add 1/2 cup warm water, as needed.

To serve, remove and discard the salt pork and basil branches. Arrange the meats on a serving platter, slicing as needed, and napping them with some sauce. In a bowl, toss the sauce with your favorite freshly cooked pasta.

Recycle leaves instead of bagging them The science behind fall’s colorful scenery For the typical home gardener, fallen leaves are one of the most readily available forms of organic matter and serve as a wonderful soil conditioner, said University of Illinois Extension horticulture educator Nancy Kreith.

“After raking leaves this fall, think about recycling them on your property rather than bagging them for curbside pickup,” Kreith said.

Increasing organic matter (OM) in the soil will increase the amount of microbial activity that includes beneficial bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that aid in plant growth, Kreith explained. “OM coats finer clay particles in the soil, providing more air space, and binds sandy soils allowing for better water retention. Ideal garden soils should test at 5 percent OM,” she said.

A standard soil test will provide the percentage of OM in the soil. Contact a local U of I Extension office for information on soil testing kits and labs.

Brown leaves can be used as a carbon-rich material to add to a compost pile or they can be shredded and used as mulch. Kreith suggests running the lawn mower over raked leaves to cut them into smaller pieces or using a leaf shredder or leaf mulcher as an alternative. “This initial breakdown allows for improved air circulation and more surface area for quicker decomposition,” she said.

Kreith added that diseased leaves should be sep-

The rate of decomposition for leaves will depend on the leaf size, tree species, and moisture level. Brown leaves break down faster if they are shredded and moistened. If unshredded leaves are applied as mulch, they tend to mat together and suffocate the soil and/ or vegetation,” Kreith said.

“However, having matted leaves in a vegetable or annual garden bed in the fall will help smother winter annual weeds, and during the next spring, the leaves can be incorporated or tilled into the soil,” she added.

Another easy way to recycle leaves is by storing them in garbage bags with

small holes throughout the bag surface, which allows the leaves to break down naturally. “Wetting the leaves and having holes in direct contact with the earth (where more microbes are present) will speed up the decomposition process,” Kreith said. “The end result is referred to as leaf mold (partially decomposed leaves). Leaf mold can then be used as mulch or saved as a carbon source for adding to your compost pile in the summer when there are less readily available ‘brown’ materials.”

Brown or dry materials are typically high in carbon and will help to balance the “green” or wet nitrogen-rich materials that are added to a compost pile, she added.

“By recycling leaves on your property, not only will you be improving your garden soil, you will also be making an environmentally conscious choice to keep your yard waste onsite rather than having it hauled off as waste,” Kreith said.

The beauty of the autumn season has been expressed by poets and authors alike depicting its splendor in the most descriptive words. The colors of the trees move from bright and vibrant greens to brilliant explosions of red, orange, yellow and many colors in between.

“Fall is my favorite time of year,” said University of Illinois Extension Educator Jason Haupt. “Going outside in the cool weather to see a fireworks display in slow motion is more enjoyable to me than most other experiences in nature. But let me ask you, have you thought about the process that creates the bright explosions of color?”

Chlorophyll is what gives the trees the green leaves, Haupt explained. This is how they perform photosynthesis. As the days start to get shorter, the trees take a cue and begin to form a layer that seals the leaf off from the rest of the tree.

“This layer restricts the flow of materials from the leaf to the tree and from the tree to the leaf,” he said. “Because the length of the periods of dark each day is the cue for changing leaves, it means that the leaves will start to turn at about the same time each year.”

Chlorophyll breaks down in the presence of light; however, it is replaced throughout the tree’s growing season. In the autumn, when the connection between the tree and the leaf is broken, the materials that are need-

ed to replace the chlorophyll are no longer available. The chlorophyll in the leaf breaks down quickly and reveals the autumn colors, said Haupt.

“The yellow and orange pigments of leaves are present throughout the year but are overpowered by the chlorophyll. As the chlorophyll is broken down, the yellows and oranges become visible.

The red and purple pigments are produced from the sugars that are trapped in the leaves once the leaf is cut off from the tree. Eventually the yellow, orange, red, and purple pigments break down only leaving the brown tannins in the leaf.”

Temperature, moisture and sunlight have an influence on the quality and length of the display of fall color, added Haupt.

“Sunny, cool days cause the chlorophyll to break down quickly. Cool temperatures at night with lots of sunlight during the day promote the production of the red and purple pigments. Cool nights, warm sunny days and dry conditions during the autumn are ideal conditions for a spectacular display of fall leaves. Cold temperatures at night that produce frost break down the mechanisms that produce the red and purple hues. Early frost means an early end to the fall colors,” he said.
