Ash borer takes toll on city trees Plano street superintendent says $35K spent on replacement work By LYLE R. ROLFE news@kendallcountynow.com The emerald ash borer has taken its toll on trees throughout the area and Plano is no exception, according to Randy Klatt, street superintendent.
He told Plano City Council members during a recent Committee of the Whole meeting that more than 250 trees in the city have been killed by the borers and had to be removed. And there are still more to be removed, he said, but did not specify how
many. He said they have purchased 50 to 60 young trees to start replacing those killed by the borer. He said the city paid $50 per tree, a price he said is cheap. The cost to grind old stumps and plant 60 new trees will be $7,000, he said. The city hopes to remove 30 stumps and plant 30 new trees yet this season, he said, noting that they will be placed throughout Plano, including the city parks.
John McGinnis, public works director, said some residents told him they want to purchase their own tree and have it planted on the parkway, and asked if the city would reimburse them for any of the cost. Mayor Bob Hausler said the city has planted trees purchased by residents, but it has not paid for the trees, and said the city should not change this policy. When asked about the variety of trees, Hausler said the city has
a list of acceptable trees in its code book that residents must choose from if they buy their own tree. The list is on the city’s website, Klatt said. Klatt said they have spent $35,747 to date, which included the cost of trees, planting them and stump removal. A more detailed report on the tree project will be placed on the agenda for approval at the Monday, Nov. 9, city council meeting, Hausler said.
Corn cobs lie in a field at the end of another growing season for Kendall County farmers.
A time to reap Fall marks the end of the growing season for Kendall County farmers, and with it comes the harvest. While many say yields were impacted by wet conditions in the spring and early summer, a dry harvest season has made for pleasant days for bringing in the crops of corn and soybeans. Area farmers are taking advantage of the dry fall weather – most are finishing up combining. Photos by ERIC MILLER • emiller@shawmedia.com

WCC programs cater to veterans’ needs College has adviser, lounge time available SHAW MEDIA Waubonsee Community College has served as a new starting point in life for Kendall County area veterans since it opened nearly a half century ago. In recent years the college’s veterans enrollment has averaged about 400 per semester, according to information provided by the college. Stephanie Wennmacher, Waubonsee’s marketing and communications manager, said the college offers comprehensive help and services to military and veteran students. Waubonsee’s Veteran Services team, headquartered at the college’s Sugar Grove Campus, serves as a “one-stop-shop” of information and services for veterans, Wennmacher said.
“While our Veterans Services Team members are located at Sugar Grove, students taking classes at any of our campuses – or even online – can take advantage of the services,” Wennmacher added. According to information provided by Wennmacher, the college recognizes that each of its veteran students are unique, but many enroll in classes facing similar challenges. One of these challenges can be transitioning from a very regimented, intense military life to a less structured, more self-sufficient civilian life. “The college’s Veterans Adviser provides individualized assistance in getting started with federal and state education benefits, academic planning, earning college credit for military experience, and finding both academic and community support services, while the Financial Aid Office ensures the student receives the educational and financial benefits they deserve,” Wennmacher said.
She said veteran and military students can find peer support and community service opportunities through the WCC Veterans Club, and can also earn recognition for academic achievement through the SALUTE Veterans National Honor Society. The Veterans Club has been very active in recent years, providing social activities and support to members while also providing service to the college and the community. Started four years ago, the college’s annual Veterans Day Observance has helped students, staff and faculty demonstrate their gratitude and respect for service men and women both in and beyond the Waubonsee community. In the “Veterans Only Lounge,” from 1 to 4 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays, veterans are invited to the Reading Room in the Student Center (enter through Student Activities, Room 126) to socialize, study and enjoy some snacks.
Wennmacher noted that Waubonsee’s efforts to meet the educational needs of veterans have meant recognition as a “Military Friendly School” by “G.I. Jobs” magazine, published by Victory Media, a veteran-owned business and publisher of the Guide to Military Friendly Schools. The company gives the Military Friendly School designation to the top 15 percent of the nation’s colleges, universities and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace service members, veterans and spouses as students and ensure their success on campus. Other WCC departments also offer programs to assist veterans in resuming their education, including: • Access Center for Students With Disabilities • Career Services • Counseling Department • Distance Learning More information is available on the college’s veterans program at waubonsee.edu/veterans.

‘Life is sacred’ letter puzzling

opinions on life and such things, I read it. For one, I don’t believe vaccinating children is the “moral imperative” she states so universally. Yes, fetal tissue research in the mid-20th century in particular used fetal tissue under tight guidelines from HHS. Those still exist as does some of this research. Because much promise has been found in adult stem cell research, and due to an uproar years ago on the use of fetal tissue, researchers have been shifting to the use of monkey tissue. That being said, I am puzzled by her connection between Planned Parenthood, its full-of-baloney dedication to fetal tissue research (hah!) and the political and personal opposition of those she blatantly calls the “radical right wing.” One, Planned Parenthood is outnumbered in the women’s health clinic arena by a margin of about 80:1. Planned Parenthood is in the profit-generating business of doing abortions and selling those parts, a abhorrent and illegal
practice recently exposed. There are plenty of clinics that truly put the woman first in health care. Our government should be supporting them if they have to support clinics at all. Two, does anyone ever wonder why we who oppose such evils are labeled “radical right wing?” Why do we not label those who believe in pro-death, pro-abortion, pro-big government? The media has done a great job portraying two classes of thought but only calling one by name: those who think on the “radical right” with all others being “normal.” I would like to suggest we are all “normal,” we just have different thoughts, perspectives and ideas. Tolerance and respect are in order. Perhaps something like “liberal left fringe” would be appropriate for the other side if we insist on using names. I prefer to attack ideology, rather than labeling people with names. For those who continue the preference of using name calling, perhaps we need to title them as well.
Dmitry Ruban, M.D., FAANS
Her statement that the unborn are not actual humans was disturbing. Certainly she can’t be referring to anything scientific. The human brain is formed almost before a woman discovers her pregnancy. The heartbeat and brain activity existing in the first trimester of pregnancy is counted as life – sorry, Carla. Also, her letter reflects a lack of awareness of those who consider the moral imperative to help infants, widows and the poor, those who are working tirelessly only to face a government who wants to stop them and would far prefer government dependency. So much for the fringe. I would rather be called radical any day. And if you chose to read her article, I think you would consider both its title and its last line, “All life is sacred,” a bunch of bunk. Yes, all life is sacred from beginning to its natural end.

FORUM 5
Research reveals family ties to Civil War REFLECTIONS Roger Matile I was doing some family history a few months ago, trying to fill in a few holes in the line of my great-great-grandmother, Mary Ann Wolf Minnich, when I finally figured out that two of her brothers, Isaac and Michael, had served in the Civil War. The men in the Wolf family were coal miners in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, short in stature but determined. In September 1861, Isaac, the older of the two, enlisted in Company A of the 50th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Regiment. The 50th went on to engage in some extremely tough campaigning, including the near drowning of the entire regiment off Cape Hatteras while en route to Hilton Head, fighting at Antietam, Fredericksburg, west all the way to Vicksburg, and campaigns in Tennessee where they served alongside so many young men from Kendall County. Isaac served through all that without a scratch, and was among the veterans re-enlisting on Jan. 1, 1864, just before the regiment’s unbelievably arduous march east 200 miles to Nicholasville, Kentucky, where they were granted veteran furloughs. His younger brother, Michael, enlisted on April 6, 1864, and joined the 50th – and his big brother – at Annapolis, Maryland. There the new troops recruited to fill out the regiment’s losses due to combat and enlistment expiration were drilled and organized. The 50th was assigned to the 2nd Brigade, 1st Division, 9th Corps, and left, marching south for what was more and more looking like the last fights of the war in Virginia. They marched through Washington, D.C., and were reviewed by President Lincoln and then on across the old battleground at Bull Run, arriving at the Rapidan River on May 5 just in time for Michael’s baptism of fire. In what was to become known as the Battle of the Wilderness, General Ulysses S. Grant’s Army of the Potomac attacked Robert E. Lee’s dwindling Army of Northern Virginia in ferocious, close-quarter combat. The 50th had 17 killed and 53 wounded during the heavy fighting, but both Isaac and Michael made it through without a scratch. In the past, Union commanders would have halted to lick their wounds and reorganize after such a fierce battle, but not Grant, who pressed on, attempting to turn Lee’s flank. The two armies came to blows again around a wide spot on the road to Richmond called Spotsylvania Courthouse. On May 9, the 50th Pennsylvania arrived on the banks of the Ny River near Spotsylvania and immediately went on the attack. As the regimental history explains: “With fixed bayonets, the 50th, led by Lt. Col. Overton, charged up the steep ascent, and routed a force of the enemy greatly superior in number; but the success was gained at a fearful cost, losing in killed, wounded, and missing 120 men.” One of the wounded was 24-year-old Michael Wolf.

Rather than retreat or remain stagnant, as was common practice in the Army of the Potomac following a major battle, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant directed the Union army to move forward May 7, 1864 – south to Spotsylvania Court House in Virginia (above). The Army then confronted and defeated Gen. Robert E. Lee and the Confederate Army. Among those wounded in the battle was Michael Wolf, brother of Roger Matile’s great-great-grandmother Mary Ann Wolf Minnich. struck Wolf’s left arm, shattering it and knocking him out of the fight. Brother Isaac, who seemingly led a charmed life, again escaped without a scratch. Michael was carried to a Union field hospital where doctors assessed the catastrophic damage to his left arm – the humerus was completely shattered. Surgeons working as quickly as possible under grim conditions amputated the arm at the shoulder since there was no sound bone left of the humerus. He was evacuated to Carver General Hospital at Washington, D.C., arriving there May 14. On July 6 he was discharged and sent home to Schuylkill County to recuperate.
He was in pretty rough shape. His sister Mary Ann, my great-great grandmother, went to visit as soon as he arrived home and was shocked at the appearance of this once-vital former coal miner. “I found him propped up in bed, his heart beating very hard and fast,” she recalled years afterward, adding, “From the time of his discharge to his death he was troubled all the time with heart disease and often had severe attacks of it so that he was confined to his bed.” Shortly after the war, my great-great-grandparents decided to try their luck in Illinois. They farmed out in Wheatland Township east of Oswego for
a few years before moving to a place just north of Oswego in the old village of Troy where Mary Ann wove rag rugs on a loom her husband, John, made for her while he found work on the railroad. Michael, hearing reports of how nice it was in Illinois – and there being no market for one-armed coal miners – decided to move west, too. He settled with his sister and her family for a while, and he even found someone to marry. Elizabeth Young Orr was divorced with two growing children, but the couple apparently made a go of it on Michael’s $24-a-month soldier’s disability pension. Elizabeth’s children married into local families and Michael dealt with the myriad health problems resulting from his short, disastrous, military career before dying in 1884. The Sept. 10, 1884, Kendall County Record carried his poignant obituary: “Michael Wolf, the one armed soldier who has been almost in continual distress – his arm was taken off at the shoulder joint, leaving no stump, which caused certain disarrangements in the arterial system and affected the heart – and who has been on the failing order for some time died the latter part of the week. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon from the house.” He was buried with so many more of his Civil War comrades in the Oswego Township Cemetery. This year, thanks to the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, his grave was finally marked. Next week, we celebrate Veterans Day, honoring all those who’ve served our nation so well during so many conflicts. At the Little White School Museum in Oswego, you’re invited to stop by Nov. 7-15 to visit their huge free annual “Remembering our Veterans” exhibit honoring those who served from the Civil War through the conflicts of the 21st century. Hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. This Veterans Day, don’t forget to offer a few thoughts to the young men who put everything they had on the line to protect their country.

Proposed county budget shows $1.4M deficit $350K Health Dept. expenditure rankles some board members By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com The Kendall County Board voted 7-2 Tuesday night to place on public display a proposed new fiscal year budget that shows a $1.4 million deficit. Board members Jeff Wehrli and Elizabeth Flowers opposed the motion to put the proposed budget on display at the county clerk’s office in Yorkville. The board is expected to adopt a final budget – after making further revisions to the proposed budget – by Nov. 30, the end of the current fiscal year. The new budget will cover the county’s expenses for the fiscal year that will begin Dec. 1. Prior to the split vote, Wehrli debated fellow board member John Purcell over a proposed $350,000 expenditure from the Kendall County Health Depart-
ment’s budget to cover the cost of benefits for the department’s employees. Wehrli stressed that he didn’t think this was fair. “So we’re demanding $350,000 from the health department’s budget without having a discussion with the Health Department Board, without having a discussion with the Health Department Finance Board?” Wehrli asked. Purcell countered that the county pays for the benefits for health department employees. “This would not cost anything to the health department because 100 percent of those benefits are
Payment ahead for man in FOIA case By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com The Kendall County Board unanimously approved an agreement Tuesday night that should close a five-year-old lawsuit involving a Freedom of Information Act request made by Larry Nelson, Nelson Multimedia Inc. WSPY AM Inc. and WSPY-TV Inc. Board member Lynn Cullick was absent from the meeting. According to the agreement, the county will pay Nelson $80,071 as reimbursement for his attorneys’ fees and an additional $959 for reimbursement of costs, based on a court order from March. The pact includes an indemnification payment agreement and mutual release for the case of Nelson v. Kendall County and Nelson v. Kendall County State’s Attorney’s Office. Nelson’s lawsuit named State’s Attorney Eric Weis and Kendall County as defendants. The court ruled the county would have to pay Nelson about $80,000 in legal fees he incurred from the three law firms he used to fight the case for about five years. In July 2014 the Illinois Supreme Court ruled in favor of Nelson, saying citizens and the media can file Freedom of Information Act requests with state’s attorney’s offices.

being paid for by the county,” Purcell said. Purcell added that the health department was in great financial shape with about $3.2 million or an eight-month fund balance reserve. He said he didn’t think it would be unfair to ask the health department for these funds since they had a robust savings. “We’re trying to keep in the general fund between a six- and seven-month fund balance [$15.5 million]; that was a policy this board passed a year ago,” Purcell said. “If we can keep six months … we don’t think it’s unreasonable to say to a department of the county
that has eight months fund balance to kick in and let’s help this cause.” Board member Bob Davidson said he had heard the health department pays for those benefits from federal grants. He then suggested that if this was grant money the health department received then they should reduce their budget by $350,000. “You just give us the correct budget because the taxpayer is paying double – that money came from the taxpayer and he’s got to pay it again,” Davidson said. “We’re getting money out of the grants so if the money is coming in from the grant
to pay for the bennies [benefits] then they should not against our people in the county ... now, if I’m wrong take me to the cross I don’t care but that’s my opinion.” He added that the health department needs a strong reserve because of uncertainty in the state and federal grant dollars. “Because we have no state budget, because we have a two-month federal budget, we have no idea what we’re going to get for grant money,” Wehrli said. “This is totally up in the air.” Purcell said the County Board’s Finance Committee was expected to continue to work on the budget over the next few days before a special County Board meet-
ing is most likely called the last week in November to approve it. Purcell was scheduled to meet with the Health Department’s finance committee Nov. 4. Earlier this week Dr. Amaal Tokars, the health department’s executive director, confirmed that much of the revenue the health department receives comes from state revenue, which with the lack of a state budget is not certain. “If you take that out of the picture, we were worried about the trajectory that creates for us,” she said. “It’s not just about what we have today, it’s about if our revenue in the future looks like it’s not going to be in balance with our expenses.”

‘Very tight’ forest preserve budget on display Proposal for 2015-16 includes cutting 1 full-time position By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com The Kendall County Forest Preserve District may be facing some “challenges going forward” fiscally, but the agency’s proposed new budget has a small surplus, according to the district’s director Dave Guritz. The board of commissioners is expected to approve the new budget later this month after voting to put a tentative version on display in October. The district’s new fiscal year will begin Dec. 1. The proposed budget shows a projected balance of about $2 million in the capital fund and an approximate $5,000 surplus in the operating budget.

Regarding the operating budget, Guritz mentioned that “a ton of work” has gone into examining the budget over the last year. He said they expect about $1 million in operating revenues and expenses for the coming fiscal year. “We’re very tight right now with our finances. There are things that we would like to be able to do that we just can’t afford to do. Staffing is very tight so you’re really looking at situation where we can continue to deliver the base services and maintenance of forest preserve areas with the challenge being longer-term management,” he said. Guritz also mentioned the preliminary budget includes “personnel reductions,” including
cutting one full-time position. “Within this budget – and this is still under discussion – there are some personnel cuts that are scheduled,” he said. “We are being sensitive about that right now and it’s to be determined.” The district has also left positions unfilled after staff members retired and left the district. “In the past year we’ve had two full-time staff members retire, we had one full-time staff member take another job – they resigned,” Guritz said. “If you look at the last four or five years, we’ve been over expended in operations by about $150,000.” On the revenue side, the district has increased tuition and fees for some of the preschool and educational programs, which
helped to make those self sustaining. The budget includes funding for the Ellis House and Equestrian Center, which some board members suggested in the past needs to be sold or leased. “The board has really come together within this budget; there’s still differences of opinion on the long-term costs for maintaining Ellis as a community center,” Guritz said. “Within this budget we would continue to sustain our wedding events out there and we would continue to sustain our equestrian program.” In 2007, Kendall County voters approved a referendum to give the forest preserve district the authority to issue up to $45 million in bonds to purchase more forested and open space in the county from private owners. Guritz said that while the dis-
trict bought up several properties in the last eight years, it will now have to maintain those properties. Additionally, farmland the district has been renting to farms will have to eventually be converted into usable space. “The bottom line is we have begun to look at the various costs that we have associated with any of these forest preserves and cropland conversions,” Guritz said. “We are not giving up and there is more that we can do to continue to maintain high-quality natural areas.” He added that there are pending capital projects that will use up those remaining capital funds over the next few years. The board may have to decide in the next few years if they want to go to voters with another referendum or add a capital and development fund levy.

Budget effects trickle down to local level By MATT SCHURY mschury@shawmedia.com
and JOHN ETHEREDGE
jetheredge@shawmedia.com Local governmental agencies are beginning to feel the effects of the state budget impasse. Kendall County and county municipal officials reported this week the state of Illinois is falling behind in making some previously expected payments to their agencies. Local governmental agencies rely on the state for millions of dollars in revenues from multiple sources, including the state income tax, motor fuel tax and gaming revenues. The local agencies, in turn, use the revenues to cover their operational expenses. The possibility they may not receive anticipated state revenues for the current fiscal year and may receive significantly less from next fiscal year is a lingering concern for many of the local officials. In the event the state fails to make or cuts payments, the challenge for county and local officials will be how to pay for essential services such as police protection, snow plowing and street maintenance. Justin VanVooren, the village of Montgomery’s finance director, said the state is delayed in making payments from three of its funds to the village dating back to July 1 and what should have been the start
of the state’s fiscal year. According to VanVooren, the state owes the village about $204,000 in payments – about $120,000 in motor fuel tax funds, $66,000 in use taxes and $4,500 in video gaming funds. The use tax is a tax that is paid on overseas purchases, and the state distributes it on a per capita basis, VanVooren said. Village officials are also concerned that the state’s Local Government Distributive Fund payments are two months behind. Revenues for those payments come from income taxes paid by state residents. Gov. Bruce Rauner previously proposed cutting in half the state income tax money the village and other municipalities across Illinois receive. VanVooren said the budget the governor has proposed includes deep cuts to those funds that Montgomery depends on. He added the village has already been planning ways so it can stay afloat if those cuts should go through. The most difficult part of the budget impasse for village officials, VanVooren said, is the uncertainty in getting state funding and trying to plan a fiscal budget around dollars that might not come to the village. “We’ve been getting this income tax all along. Are they going to retroactively say we’re taking 50 percent and you have to pay it back?” VanVooren said. “It is that uncertainty – that is one of the hardest things right now.” The village’s fiscal year ends in April, and VanVooren said it would be
“What a waste of money to pay people who are doing nothing. That is the real frustration.” Gail Johnson Oswego village president nice if the state had a budget before then so village officials know what funding they will be receiving. “We really need to know by the end of this fiscal year what’s going to happen,” he said. In Yorkville, City Administrator Bart Olson reported the state is withholding use tax and motor fuel tax reimbursements from the city. “We’re not delaying projects yet, simply due to timing,” Olson said. He added the state previously suspended payments on some grants, which will delay the completion of some city projects. Olson said the city has not yet been impacted by delays in the reimbursement of motor fuel tax funds since there are no large projects targeted to use those revenues until next spring or summer. Oswego Village President Gail Johnson said the budget impasse is not yet having a significant impact on the village’s budget or operations. Gail Johnson She said the state has been withholding Oswego’s share of video gaming revenues, but noted that is a relatively small amount of revenue compared to other state reimbursements.

The state is also late in sending the county its share of sales taxes that are collected from local businesses. Ferko says the county hasn’t received a distribution of those sales tax funds since August. “We are still getting our public safety tax and we’re still getting our transportation tax, those are coming in quite well,” Ferko said. “[State officials] haven’t come out and said they are not going to be sending it, they are just saying that they are a little behind and are backlogged at this time. “We are still getting a lot of other major tax revenue as well,” she continued. “I’m not too worried. I do have faith in the fact that at some point they will get a budget and we’ll start seeing some of that.”

cepted a recommendation from Jennifer Hughes, the village’s director of public works, to expedite the village’s annual street maintenance program, which is financed by state-reimbursed motor fuel tax revenues. In past years, the village has sought bids for the motor fuel tax program in early summer, with construction typically taking place in late August into September. But this year the village sought bids and completed the program earlier – when state funding was available, Johnson said. “We were very lucky that we started our road program earlier this year,” she said. “We came out ahead.” As an elected official, Johnson said she is frustrated over the continuing inaction on a new budget by state lawmakers. “I’m trying to understand their rationale,” she said, “As someone who is trying to run local government, it feels to me like they [state lawmakers] are playing a game and it’s not a game – real people are being affected by this, which makes it all the more frustrating.” Johnson said she and other village officials have contacted local state representatives to express their concern, but she said they
are “playing the blame game right now,” with Republicans blaming Democratic leaders and Democrats blaming Rauner. “No one is saying, ‘This is what we are going to do to solve this,’” she said, adding, “So I don’t see a winner in this for anyone, least of all the people who are paying their salaries. What a waste of money to pay people who are doing nothing. That is the real frustration.” Kendall County is also feeling the impact of the budget impasse. According to County Treasurer Jill Ferko, the state is currently late in sending salary reimbursements for some county officials. Jill Ferko “My opinion is that at this point we are OK, but if this continues for another year from now, yeah, things could get a little dicey,” Ferko said. The state has sent the county about $85,000 so far this year for the reimbursement of the state’s attorney’s salary, which the county budgeted at $144,000. The county has also received $75,000 for the public defender’s salary reimbursement, which the county set at $85,000. The supervisor of assessment’s salary is also reimbursed by the state. The county was expected to receive $35,000 from the state to help offset a portion of that salary and has

State’s attorney: Officers justified in recent shooting Says man who was shot had weapon, threatened police By JOHN ETHEREDGE jetheredge@shawmedia.com The two Oswego police officers involved in an Aug. 29 shooting incident in the village’s Cedar Glen subdivision were justified in their actions, Kendall County State’s Attorney Eric Weis has de-
termined. As a result, Weis said in an Oct. 27 letter to the Illinois State Police, his office considers “the matter to be closed” and no charges will be filed against the officers. Weis based his conclusions on a review of the incident which resulted in police shooting and wounding Taylor J. Cano, a resident of Ashlawn Avenue. In making his determination, Weis noted he examined the events and circumstances that led to Cano’s shooting in the early morning hours of Aug. 29. Weis
said he reviewed all of the police reports, witness statements, evidence recovered at the scene, incident photos and statements made by Cano to village and state police. In addition, he said he watched and listened to video and audio recordings of the incident, including radio traffic and 911 telephone calls. Weis said that prior to the incident Cano had several conversations with KenCom (911) dispatchers concerning his intent to commit harm against other individuals that day.

Coach’s
CORNER by Coach Kunz
Reaper Family, There is an old adage, “Jack of all trades, master of none,” that is used quite often in sports and in other facets of life. The idea is that if you spend a lot of time getting good at a lot of things, you never get great at any of them. While this statement is true in some cases, in many situations in life, it is a statement like this that holds people back from doing great things. Saturday’s game is an example that provides this life lesson of being a well-rounded individual to our players. After our loss on a snowy, windy and very cold Chicago night against Phillips last year, as a coaching staff, we had to analyze what it was that made us successful that season, and what we were lacking that frigid Halloween night. The decision that we made was to ignore the cliché I presented to you earlier in this letter, and become the best team in the state at handling different situations and adverse conditions. We have a group of kids who are intelligent and hard working. When we give them opportunities to be confident, we see them excel. All year we have preached this idea that we are ready for any situation, and with that, we were able to switch to a rugged ground and pound attack, and a defensive scheme to force Ridgewood to run the ball on us if they wanted to be successful. Our kids responded to this. The two kids I would like to spotlight this week for their performance on Saturday are Levi Campbell and Israel Adeoti. Not only are these two great players, but they are great students and great young men. Levi started off the season with an injury that held him out for a couple of games, and has hampered him a little as the season has gone. We felt Week 9 Levi finally started to get his swagger back, and during the Ridgewood game, he made two big plays, a screen reception for a TD, and an interception for a TD, that we hope he continues to build his confidence upon. Izzy also had two great kick returns for us for 159 yards which acording to the IHSA was the 15th best kick return yardage in a game in IHSA history. Izzy is a fast runner and a great player for us, again, when he has his swagger. Our emphasis for last week and word of the week was “swagger” because we needed to bring back our quiet, humble confidence that allows our players to make big plays in big games. Now that Week 1 of the playoffs is behind us, we have another challenge ahead of us in 10-0 and No. 6-ranked Marengo. Their offense is predicated upon running as many plays as they can, as fast as they can. They platoon their men, as they only have a couple of players that play both offense and defense. For us, this means again being able to adapt to a new situation, on the road, on a chilly Saturday afternoon. We hope that you can make the hour trek north to Marengo to watch us play Saturday at 3:30 p.m. After going to watch Coal City vs. Marengo last Friday, I can tell you that they have nice facilities for our fans – and their hot dogs are especially good. They can’t touch us with our pork chop sandwiches, however!

Cano also told dispatchers he was armed and would harm those who would come to help him. Upon arrival on Ashlawn Avenue, the two police officers, Chad Dickey and Ben Hackl, found Cano, who appeared to have a firearm in his hand. Police later determined it to be a long rifle. According to Weis, the officers used flashlights to illuminate Cano in the darkness and yelled for him to put the weapon down and to show his hands. Weis continued, “At that point, Mr. Cano turned and fired at the

Catholic schools in Joliet Diocese struggle with enrollment Will County enrollment remains ‘relatively stable’ By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The story of enrollment at Catholic schools within the Diocese of Joliet is a mixed bag, Superintendent John Belmonte said. Several weeks ago, Catholic school students, teachers and parents in the diocese marched to raise awareness of about 5,000 empty classroom seats – about 400 more than last year – and the availability of financial scholarships. But enrollment has been “relatively more stable” in Will County than in DuPage County, Belmonte said. “On the one hand, you do have headwinds that the [Joliet] diocese faces that all Catholic schools face but a lot of programs we’ve made has met good results, so it’s a mixed bag,” he said. Increasing the number of students within Catholic schools has been a challenge for the Joliet diocese but church officials have been meeting it by marketing the schools more, raising awareness of financial needs and recruiting more families. As families struggle to afford tuition costs to send their children to Catholic schools, a Joliet nonprofit that works with the diocese has focused on increasing the amount it gives out in scholarships to help put more students in the classrooms.
Struggling enrollment

The Joliet diocese has 21 schools in Will County – six in Joliet – and 32 schools in DuPage County, along with schools in Grundy and Kendall counties. Of the schools, onethird are at full capacity, one-third are close to capacity and one-third are under capacity, Belmonte said. The schools with declining enrollment have been in DuPage County, where there is an aging demographic. “Will County has been a little bit different because
we have been able to do Latino student recruitment there,” he said. Because there is a growing Latino population in Will County, diocesan officials have adjusted their recruitment strategies to encourage the enrollment of more Latino students. Joliet diocesan schools saw a 40 percent increase in Latino students at the elementary level between 2010 and 2014. Belmonte said enrollment has always been an issue for diocesan schools as with Catholic schools nationwide. Since the 2004-05 academic year for Catholic schools nationwide, there has been an about 20 percent decrease in enrollment with just under 2 million students enrolled, according to the National Catholic Education Association. For Joliet diocesan schools, enrollment was 19,500 last year and schools have a capacity for 24,000 students. Belmonte said some of the factors involved for decreasing enrollment include aging demographics, families struggling from the recession and shifting populations.

Financial assistance
The Catholic Education Foundation has been working with the Joliet diocese to raise funds for scholarships and other needs. Since 1996, when the foundation began, more than $16 million in need-based scholarships was awarded to 18,000 students in all grade levels. But the amount it is raising is not enough. Joe Langenderfer, Catholic Education Foundation executive director, said the foundation sees 3,400 students on average who apply for scholarships but the CEF can only award 1,600 based on its funding, which has been increasing slightly every year to about $2 million this year. Langenderfer said at the grade school level, scholarships usually cover be-

At the high school level, the most a child receives in scholarships is $1,000 to cover a tuition cost of $10,000, he said. He said the foundation

Grandmothers’ stories prove a treasure in time If you want to do something really special for your kids, make sure that they know the stories of their grandparents. They may have actually known some of their grandparents, and they probably will have seen photographs of all of them. But if you don’t tell at least a few interesting stories about all of them, they won’t seem real to the kids as they grow up. Today I thought I’d tell you stories about my grandmothers. Things I was told. Things I remember. Things I wish I remembered better than I do.
My Grandmother, Dora Etta Toombs Lawrie
My father’s mother, Dora Toombs, was a woman of conflicting skills, abilities and reactions. Most people would say that she was very quiet and soft-spoken – and they would be right, at least most of the time. She was the younger of the two daughters of William Toombs and Florence Elizabeth Greenfield. They were raised on a farm near Sandwich, Illinois. I would suspect that she was a bit more “active” than her older sister, Mary Elizabeth Toombs, and probably more quiet. Aunt Libbie married Bill Pope and they lived in Plano. He was an inventor and an investor. She was very active in “ladies’ affairs” such as the Baptist Women’s group and similar women’s groups in town. They had no children. Grandma Dora married Bill Lawrie. He had arrived in Plano when he was almost 3 years old. His father, James Brown Lawrie, came from Scotland in 1882 to “get settled,” leaving his wife, Elizabeth Anderson Lawrie, at home with their four sons. A year later the family arrived in the United States and began life in Plano. Billie was the third son and the only one who grew up to be a serious farmer. His father had been listed as a ploughman in Scotland, but in Illinois he was a blacksmith and a well-digger. The other boys had more city-oriented careers, too: mailman, mechanic, business owner and health ranch owner. But Billie turned out to be a farmer. He hired out from the time he was 12 according to the stories. And by the time he was about 20, he was working on the farm of William Toombs. He married Dora and placed himself in line for the inheritance of the Toombs farm. But no one could have been more sincere about doing his best to take good care of the farm and the “estate.” It seemed like he was in charge … and his two sons often referred to him as “The Boss.” Their mother was known as “The
VIEWS Kristy Lawrie Gravlin Lady.” He was loud, and she was very soft. However, when the chips were down, she was tough as nails. When their boys, Earl and Robbie, were 3 and 5, there was a medical emergency. Dora had not felt well most of the day (not an acceptable situation, I suspect) but it just got worse. Finally she must have decided that she didn’t care if it was OK to be ill or not. Billie’s brother Jack happened to be out at the farm north of Little Rock Village where they were living then. He was sent to fetch the doctor from Plano. It may have been Dr. F. H. Lord, as the time was right and his skills were likely the ones that were needed. He decided that it was an ectopic pregnancy. Placing her on the kitchen table, with Billie and Jack to hold lanterns to light the situation, he set to the business of surgery, one that is still dangerous today. The two boys were told to sit against the wall and to keep quiet. Somehow he managed to complete the surgery without losing the patient. She was then taken to Aurora, where she was in the hospital for at least two weeks while she recovered. She lost her ability to have more children, but she managed to hold on to her life. Dad (Robbie) reported that she often would take her 4-10 rifle out to shoot a chicken for Sunday dinner … one shot in the head without ruining the meat. He also reported that when she said she wanted something done, “we” could do it now, or do it later, but she would win in the end. I always was sure that the new furniture in the parlor was one of those instances. A Scottish cousin and her husband were coming to visit them and suddenly all that old furniture that had probably been purchased at auction, and had been in the house over 50 years, disappeared and new furniture appeared. She didn’t ask much, but when she did! Grandma Dora’s mother was Grandma Florence Toombs, and my great-grandmother, of course. She was one of the daughters of Richard Russell Greenfield and Ann Elizabeth Springer. She had been born in 1857 – before the Civil War – and died when she was 86, and I had just turned 3. I remember being over at Grandma Dora’s farm not long after my birthday in May. Grandma Flora greeted me cheerfully – she was always glad to see me – and then took a handful of “wooden pin clothespins” and sat down on the floor to play with me. Even at that age, I knew that it was
a big “gift” for her to get on the floor to play. We made airplanes from the clothespins and then “flew them around” us as we laughed and “talked.” About a month later Great-grandma passed away on July 10. But I do remember sitting on the floor as we played that day.
My Grandmother, Bessie Mae Elizabeth Palmer Lincoln
On the Lincoln side of our family, my grandmother was Bessie Palmer Lincoln. She was born in New York state, fairly near where the Lincoln family came from before they arrived in the Plano area. When Grandpa R.E. (Royal Edgar) went to New York to visit his grandparents (and stayed a whole year) he came back with Bessie as his new bride, having married her on Jan. 1, 1896. They had eight children in all – two boys, Robert and Walter in the first three years, then a break of 10 years, then two girls, Maude and Lydea, then a break of six years and four more children, Roy, Helen, Alan and Doris. Grandma had four children under five years of age at that point and she was between 41 and 46 when they were born. No, I don’t know why – but I wonder sometimes. Think about that for a minute. Grandma Bessie was always a small-boned, frail woman in my view, but I don’t know if she was back when she first married. But I got the feeling from Mom that she might not

Ask someone to tell you about her soon – and enjoy knowing how she came to be and how that changed your life. have been so frail when it came to putting her foot down in her younger years. Grandpa was a jeweler, and studied photography after they married. There are lots of photographs of the Lincoln children … and even more of early Plano and the nearby countryside. He died of a heart attack in November 1935. Grandma was left with eight kids … but most of them were out on their own by that time. Bob was 39, and the baby, Doris, was 15. The eldest three were married but the other five were still at home. Not only were the times hard for everyone, but they were hard in the Lincoln home, too. Occasionally I’d hear a story about how the family had to get by on one small salary ($7 a week) to supply food, clothing and heat. As they grew up, they all married and moved out to their own homes. Economic hardships were replaced by the hardship of war. If it wasn’t one thing, it was another, as they say. In the 1950s Grandma would move from her home to that of one of her daughters during the winter months. She had two who lived on farms – my mother, Lydea, and the youngest sister, Doris. Some years she came to stay with us, some years with my cousins John and
Tom. In January of 1956 she was at our house. It was a quiet day when, sitting on the old fainting couch, Grandma suddenly was not all right. She had spoken to my brother Bruce about pain moving up her leg. My mother flew into action and got Grandma into her bed in the next room. Then she called the doctor and Uncle Bob, while she had me sit with Grandma “just in case.” But we both knew that Grandma was gone. Mom stayed on the phone, calling the other siblings to let them know. Some came. Some were too far away at that time. But all came for the funeral a few days later. I don’t know exactly what to say about my Grandma Bessie. She didn’t interact with us a whole lot, but I don’t remember feeling unwanted. She still was playing the piano when she had her stroke, and she never objected to Mom, or me, playing … or to Bruce watching TV or playing with the toys boys play with. She tended to be very cold physically in the winter weather – probably the result of being nothing but skin and bones as the old saying goes. I remember her sitting by the cook stove with her feet propped up on the oven door, trying to warm herself.
She would offer to help around the house, but really wasn’t able to do so, and one never knew where she would put the food or dishes when she helped by putting them away. I remember Mom saying that Dad never knew Grandma Bessie when she was “herself.” She had been born in the middle of a family of 10, or possibly 11. Only three were girls. One was six years older than Bessie; the other was five years younger. She never seemed close to either of them, from the stories I heard. In addition, her Aunt Permelia, her father’s only sister, never had children. So she and Uncle Jacob borrowed Bessie to be their child from when she was about six until she turned 14. Then they returned her to her home. Not surprisingly she was not well received by her younger sister. Mom told me that Grandma had never felt like she really belonged in either home – a sad story.
Do you know your grandmother?
Have your parents told you her story? Ask someone to tell you about her soon – and enjoy knowing how she came to be and how that changed your life. Maybe it will be some older neighbor who remembers her. Or maybe one of her children can tell the stories. Share the stories with your children – and tell them how life changed some things about their great-grandmother … and their grandmother too.

Parental anxiety about children rarely realized High-profile cases of unfortunate events are exception not norm By KATIE SMITH ksmith@shawmedia.com DeKALB – A number of factors have made even the places children are expected to feel safest become a cause for concern, and the worry is weighing down on parents, according to recent studies by Gallup and Pew Research Center. Between bullying at school, strangers on the streets, and a technological-overload in a seemingly unregulated digital world, reasons for parents to worry about their children appear to be lurking around every corner. But as more dangers present themselves, the more preventative measures schools, law officials and parents are taking to ensure the safety of a younger generation. DeKalb County schools are taking steps to prevent bullying on and off campuses by talking about the issue with students and offering anonymous reporting, while local police are keeping an eye open for suspicious strangers out in public. Sometimes behind-thescenes efforts keep kids better protected than they seem, said Dennis Young, president of Ittner Architects, a company that equips schools with security measures and safe rooms. “What I find is that they have a perception of something being unsafe when it truly is safe,” he said.
Bullying
The story of Amanda Todd is one that incorporates some of parents’ worst fears. Todd was in seventh grade when she and her friends began talking online with strangers, one of whom convinced the young girl to flash him. A year later, the photo resurfaced and went viral, igniting a cycle of bullying that eventually pushed Todd to take her own life. Todd’s suicide and others like it have sparked conversation surrounding bullying and legislation to punish online harassment. The resulting push to target bullying has seemingly paid off, as fewer students say they are being bullied at school, according to the National Crime Victimization Survey. Twenty-two percent of students age 12 to 18 said they were bullied in 2013 – that’s six percent less than those who reported being bullied in 2011, and also the lowest level since the National Center for Educa-
tion Statistics began surveying students on bullying in 2005, the study showed. Students who do experience bullying, however, are more likely to struggle in school, skip class, face substance abuse and commit suicide, survey results show. “I think it would be naive to say it wasn’t a problem at any school,” said Clinton Rosette Middle School Principal Tim Vincent. “It’s something that affects the safety at schools so it’s a priority.” To make sure students at Clinton Rosette feel comfortable reporting bully behavior, the school has made the reporting process as easy and confidential as possible. “Probably the most popular way for our students is an online Bully Box, and it’s essentially a way they can anonymously report bullying in an online form,” Vincent said. “We found that the anonymity part of it is a big deal.”
Being safe at school
Three in ten U.S. parents fear for their child’s safety at school, according to a Gallup study published in August. Although the number of concerned parents is down from the 33 percent found immediately after the Sandy Hook school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, in December 2012, it is still above the 25 percent measured a few months before that incident occurred, the study showed. “When a kid goes to school, at times, [parents] have anxiety,” Young said. “They have anxiety about being away from their parents; they have anxieties about taking a test. The last thing we need to do is add to that level of anxiety the things that are most severe, which is an intruder and severe whether.” Legislation passed in January now requires all new schools be built with adequate safety measures – one of the most common of which is a secure entry, Young said. “A welcome center is a control point that all visitors have to check in to,” he said. “It allows you to bring a person into a building, into a lobby. When one door is open, no other doors will open.” DeKalb County-area schools like Clinton Rosette are equipped with these secure welcome centers, which allow the office staff to screen a visitor before they enter a portion of
the building with access to classrooms. Screening can vary between running a background check or simply signing in on a sheet of paper. “We also practice intruder drills three times a year,” Vincent said. “Kids and staff are pretty wellversed in that protocol and they’re pretty well trained as what to do in any given situation.” But despite increased security, there has been no real reduction in the number of U.S. school shootings since the rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary, according to an Associated Press analysis. “You’re always safe until something happens,” Young said.
Technology overload
Ninety-three percent of parents and 85 percent of teens say they have discussed ways to use the Internet safely, according to a Pew Research survey. But parents still have concerns or questions about their kids’ technology use, and it’s led them to seek out software and techniques to ease their worries, a Pew study shows. More than half of parents said they use parental controls or other means of filtering or monitoring their child’s computer-based online activities, while 39 percent of online teens report that their parents use this type of software or feature in a browser or operating system to manage their teen’s computer-habits. But while technology becomes an increasingly large part of everyday life,

Between bullying at school, strangers on the streets, and a technological overload in a seemingly unregulated digital world, reasons for parents to worry about their children appear to be lurking around every corner. parents might be happy to learn it’s also being put to use in the classroom. School officials have said the goal is to engage students in inquiry-based learning. This new method is designed help them learn skills to land jobs later in life, while still learning the lesson-plan essentials. In March, DeKalb School District 428 board members approved spending $8.5 million on a three-year initiative to provide all district students with personal electronic devices. This year, the $1.1 million first phase of the plan was implemented. The district has distributed about 3,300 Chromebooks to its third- to ninth-grade students, who are catching on quickly, Jenn Harrison, a sixth-grade language arts teacher at Huntley Middle School has said. “The kids love it, even if you’re just pulling it out for five minutes. It’s a nice way to use a different method to get the same results. … Nobody likes things to be stale.”
Kidnapping
In June 1985, Sheree and Michael Ackerman were living in Somonauk with their 7-year-old daughter, Melissa Love, who went by the nickname Missy. On June 2, 10 days before her eighth birthday, Melissa was abducted while she rode her bike with a friend. The abductor, Brian Dugan, tried to grab both girls, but Melissa’s friend Opal Horton escaped and hid. After watching Dugan’s car drive off, Opal ran to a teacher’s house. This remains one of the most frightening cases of child abduction in the area, DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Gary Dumdie can remember. Dugan, a serial killer who remains in prison today, was convicted of the crime not long after it happened. “It was a big case because this guy was suspected of being involved in many deaths over the years,” he said. Aside from Melissa Ackerman and a 2013 kidnapping that resulted in
GREAT FALL
an attempted child pornography conviction against a DeKalb man, Richard Gahlbeck, DeKalb County has been fortunate, Dumdie said. “It’s not unusual to get a couple of suspicious persons call every year, where the circumstance sounds like someone’s trying to lure a child into a car,” he said. The “stranger danger,” kids learn from a young age, however, can make a world of difference. “Make sure that your children are aware not to talk to strangers,” Dumdie said. “If someone does approach them and they don’t know who it is, get out of the area as quick as they can; go to someone’s house that you’re familiar with; go back to the school – whatever they can to get themselves out of the situation.”

Vietnam vet was on medical mission Plano man aided soldiers and orphans By DAN WAITT dwaitt@shawmedia.com
O
f all of the key battles and historical milestones that happened during the Vietnam War, the thing veteran Larry Richmond wants people to know about is one that seemed to garner little attention at the time: The MEDCAP program – or Medical Civic Action Program – that delivered much-needed medical supplies, personnel and attention to the South Vietnamese population. And the MEDCAPs were American service personnel who volunteered for the program. “We went into the villages and gave out free medical care,” Richmond said. “There were an amazing amount of children who were left orphans who did not have anything.” The group Richmond worked with was in six provinces in an area called the Plain of Reeds. “They would be waiting for us to come and we would take them back into their villages.” Richmond, 68, of Plano, was a combat medic in the U.S. Army’s 9th Infantry Division, HQ A Company. He was drafted among a 550,000-troop push by then-President Lyndon Johnson in 1967. “We were all just punks. We got drafted right out of high school,” Richmond said. “I was over there for three campaigns,” Richmond said. He left the service in 1969 as a Spec 5 combat medic. His work with MEDCAP was part of a lengthy stay in Vietnam that included combat duty as a medic. Richmond is among a number of veterans who are scheduled to share their experiences during a

Larry Richmond, 68, of Plano, served as a combat medic in the U.S. Army’s 9th Infantry Division, HQ A Company. special veterans program Nov. 15 at Chapel on the Green in Yorkville. As a solider who has seen the ravages of war firsthand, Richmond said he still wonders about some of the decisions the government makes when it comes to international conflicts. “They haven’t learned anything from all these what I call ‘meat grinders,’” Richmond said. “You can’t fight a war and establish a government.” Richmond returned home in 1969. “Everybody wanted to keep a low profile,” he said. “Guys didn’t want to talk about it.” Much time has passed, and with it, many of the wounds of an unpopular war have healed. But not all. When he greets a fellow Vietnam veteran, the salutation is a familiar one. “We always say ‘welcome home’ because we never got that,” he said. As the years have passed, Richmond says respect for Vietnam veterans has generally increased. “I don’t think anyone feels any negativity,” he said. Events like the Viet-
nam Veterans Moving Wall – which has appeared in many area communities – have helped foster a greater understanding of the war, and the sense of loss that service personnel at the time felt for their colleagues who did not come home. Richmond was in the central highlands, and later near Saigon and Dong tam, a base camp in the Mekong Delta. His most prized possession from wartime is his combat medic’s badge. “Anytime you see something with a wreath around it, that means it’s combat,” he said. As an Army medic, Richmond had one corner to stash his gear in an armored personnel carrier. He was among the first responders to assist fallen servicemen in battle; to launch colored smoke bombs to guide the helicopter pilots to landing zones to ferry the wounded to field hospitals or on to Saigon for more extensive treatment. “I will tell you what, if it wasn’t for those helicopter pilots, if it hadn’t have been for those dust-offs
[helicopters] out there, we would have lost a lot more men. I have nothing but respect for those flight warrant officers.” Richmond’s group would go out with the division and perform field triage. “We were assignment medics. It’s almost like first aid. Getting them on the dust-off [helicopter], getting them secured, and

getting them out of there.” Richmond said he continues to hear misconceptions about the role of American soldiers in Vietnam. In addition to programs like MEDCAP, the Americans interacted with the South Vietnamese people. A musician, Richmond ordered a custom-made bass guitar from a local

craftsman. “One of the things that people don’t realize is that we all had jobs to do,” Richmond said. “It’s not all fighting and shooting.” At the time of his discharge, Richmond was making $249 a month, which included combat and hazardous duty pay. Richmond retired as an operations manager in the trucking industry. He often speaks to young people in area schools and finds them generally interested and respectful about what he has to say. “A lot of them the first question they ask me is ‘Did I ever kill anyone?’” Richmond said. Others will ask him what they ate for dinner. “I tell them you don’t want to know.” Richmond makes an effort to keep in touch with a fellow serviceman he met in Dong Tam. He and Bob Klimka of Somerset, Massachusetts, have remained good friends over the years after Richmond was able to locate the now-retired physical education teacher. “I called him up and said, ‘It’s your old Beatles buddy,’” Richmond said. “One night we were singing ‘Yellow Submarine’ and we had guys offering to pay us to stop.”

Iraq veteran made lifetime connections ‘Brotherhood’ is theme for Oswego man By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcontynow.com
A
dam Stefanik might not have met his wife, Courtney, if he hadn’t joined the Marine Corps and gone to Iraq. The Oswego resident was just 19 when he joined the military and went to Iraq. “We were in Iraq and we were at a computer lab and one of the guys on my tank – he was my driver – was on this Facebook or Myspace,” he said. Stefanik noticed the picture his friend was looking at of a girl who turned out to be his friend’s sister. “From that day I was giving him a hard time, telling him I was going to marry his sister and I had never even met her or anything,” he said. “Well, years later, I came home after my deployment and spent some time with my family and then went out there and met her and pretty much stayed in touch with her.” They started dating shortly after, eventually got
married and now have two young children. Stefanik said he decided to join the Marines because his father had served in the Marines. “I always wanted to serve my country from the beginning since I’ve seen my father,” Stefanik said. He joined in 2005 and he went to boot camp in October 2005. After 13 weeks he graduated and went for training. He was in the Second Tank Battalion and did three deployments before getting out in September 2010. The first thing that comes to mind when he reflects on his service is all the friends he made. “It’s not just like a friend, it’s more like what we call a brotherhood,” he said. “I’m actually closer to those guys then people I grew up with.” Stefanik says there are about 10 people he includes in that inner circle of veterans that still keep in touch every day and help each other out. “When I got married they all flew down,” he said. “I still talk to them on a daily basis and we know that if anybody needs any help we would not even hesitate.” He said that civilians should keep in mind the sacrifices that veterans
make when serving their country. “People find out that I’m a veteran and they always say thank you and stuff like that, which is always nice, but I don’t always like to be thanked because it wasn’t really something I had to do, it was something that I wanted to do,” he said. “There’s a lot of individuals out there that don’t get recognized for other things that they’ve done or sacrificed.” Veterans are given discounts and acknowledged, but he said people don’t really focus on military members and veterans that have retired after a while and they don’t get as much recognition. He said that people focus on the new veterans but not the older ones. “It’s sometimes the people that did it before us that set the tone for what we are doing,” he said. Stefanik adds that he feels joining the military helped him grow up and appreciate things. “Many civilians don’t even know how good they have it. They complain that it’s cold outside or that they have to walk to the bus station or train station when you have military members out there that are doing way more,” he said.

Stefanik adds that it bugs him when people mix up Veterans Day and Memorial Day. He said he sees Veterans Day as something for veterans. It’s nice to get things like free meals at restaurants or have the day
off and be acknowledged for their service, but it is their day and he prefers to spend it with the people that know what he went through, he adds. “I usually spend the day with other veterans,” he said. “You can always talk
about more with people who have actually been there and done. When people think of veterans, they think of older people who have served and might not remember the younger guys who have just come back and served.”

War marked by brutal weather, bed bugs Korean War vet from Yorkville: ‘You could smell the garlic’ on Chinese soldiers By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com
W
hen Yorkville resident Jerry Sperry recalls his time fighting in the Korean War, he thinks about bed bugs. Sperry, 83, is a veteran of the Korean War who was awarded the Purple Heart after he was wounded three separate times in combat. Sperry fought as a member of the Marine Corps at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir in November and December 1950 during a brutal winter when the temperatures dropped to 35 degrees below zero. It was there he was introduced to bed bugs. “When they wanted to give me bed bugs, I thought they were going to turn them loose in my sleeping bag,” he said. “You carried bed bugs around in a little vial and they could tell you when a [Chinese soldier] was around,” Sperry said. “I don’t know how it worked, I just know that you kept the vial in your right hand to keep it warm and when you are going forward those bed bugs could tell you – they would get crazy inside that vial.” Sperry still recalls the brutally cold weather and how the Chinese soldiers’ feet swelled up because of the frostbite. “Their feet were bigger than footballs from being frozen and they would come down in hordes. The first line that would come down would have weapons and as soon as they got [killed] the second line would pick up their weapons and keep on coming,” Sperry remembers. “They got so close you could smell the garlic on them.” Sperry wanted to join the Marines at the age of 16 and convinced his mother to sign off on his enlistment. “I went into the Marine Corps, man, because that was one of the best things you could do,” he

When he was wounded, he received his first Purple Heart. He was then sent to Japan and returned to Korea in November 1950, earning his second and third Purple Hearts in that tour, and received a battlefield promotion to corporal. “I still carry a piece of shrapnel around in my right arm,” he said. He was shot two times and was in a bayonet fight with a Chinese soldier that he doesn’t like to talk about. “Anyone that has been in a combat zone they know what it’s all about,” he said. “If you haven’t been in a combat zone, you don’t know what it is. When bullets are flying and tracers are screaming and they send mortars in
after you it’s kind of scary, and anybody that’s been in a combat position knows what we’re talking about. We had to do it, that was the orders.” When asked about war and how civilians can understand it, Sperry replied, “I hope they never know what it is. It’s hell on wheels.” Sperry and others were brought to the front line as riflemen because the Marines’ ranks were running low. Sperry was made a rifleman with Baker Company First Battalion Fifth Marines. “I was in supply but then men got short so we had to grab a rifle,” he said. “We didn’t have the manpower, a lot of our platoons were annihilated and we had to fill in anyway we could, so we took cooks and office personnel and supply people and stuck them right on the front lines.” Sperry stresses that schools need to teach kids about past wars and about

the world, especially geography. “Get in the schools and teach the kids where Korea is, where Vietnam is, where Fallujah is,” he said. He admits he didn’t know where Korea was as a 16-year-old kid from the Midwest. “The Marine Corps sure as hell taught me where it was,” Sperry said. “I was just one person trying to save the U.S.” Sperry explained that he doesn’t think it’s right that he, his fellow soldiers and today’s men and service women fight in wars and then jobs and manufacturing work are outsourced to the counties they fought against. “These politicians... for instance [Bruce] Rauner, our governor – he outsourced all his businesses and he’s a millionaire or a billionaire. And what does that do to the people who live in this country and try to support it? Not much, not much,” Sperry said.

SALUTE TO VETERANS 5
VAC offers helping hand
Donald McDowell served as night patrol forward observer
Organization aids veterans in county
• McDOWELL
By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com For veterans returning home the Veterans Assistance Commission of Kendall County provides a much-needed helping hand. The VAC provides financial assistance with groceries and other basic needs to veterans, as well as help with paperwork for federal and state benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The commission also provides transportation to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ Edward Hines Jr. Hospital for some veterans. Chad Lockman, assistant VAC superintendent, says the mission of the organization is broad because there is such a wide variety of issues veterans face. “Even if it’s just to talk, none of us are licensed social workers. We’re veterans ourselves, and we can relate and we also have resources we can refer them to,” Lockman said. Veterans that need assistance can run the gamut from young to old, rich and poor. The one thing they all have in common is that they need help, Lockman said. The organization serves about 1,300 veterans and there are an estimated 7,500 veterans in Kendall
County that haven’t reached out to the VAC. The late Arnold Bitterman, founder, petitioned the Kendall County Board in 2002 to allow him to start the commission. In May 2002, the board passed a resolution creating the VAC and in December of that year Bitterman was sworn in as the first superintendent. The commission is overseen by a 13-member committee comprised of delegates from various veterans’ organizations in the county. Since 2002 the VAC has received accreditation from the Department of Veterans Affairs before opening an office in the basement of the Historic Kendall County Courthouse. Lockman says they help veterans deal with the Veterans Affairs department. “The VA is a very tough bureaucracy to navigate and we’re specially trained to navigate that,” he said. “The biggest thing we have seen in the last year or so are our veterans coming in who are having problems with their insurance and health care, particularly enrolling in the VA health care system.” The unemployment rate among veterans remains high in Illinois and nationwide, and Lockman adds that the VAC also tries to help veterans find jobs. There is a representative from the Illinois Department of Employment Services at the office once a week to assist veterans who are seeking employment and might have barriers to finding a job.
“The [civilian] work environment is completely different and any veteran is going to experience that difference coming back out of the military working in the civilian world,” he said. Employers are sometimes hesitant to consider veterans, Lockman says, even if they say they want to hire them. “From my experience a lot of employers will say, ‘We’re veteran friendly, we want to hire veterans,’ but then either the vets are not qualified or, in my opinion, they’re scared to hire veterans because of the whole stigma with PTSD,” he said. He said that is unfortunate but employers shouldn’t be afraid of hiring veterans. “The ones who are seeking treatment definitely should be given a chance,” Lockman said. “An employer can’t ask you what you suffer from or if you are seeking treatment, but if they present well and have a good resume they should be given just as much of an opportunity as a civilian.” Lockman said that veterans tend to seek out help as they get older, adding that nationwide there has been an influx of Gulf War veterans but not many from Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom. “They’re younger guys, they don’t feel like they have any problems, they don’t want help. Similar to Vietnam, the way they were treated when they came back, none of them wanted anything to do with the VA.”

Continued from page 1 it was when his unit was on the Rhine River at Boppard, Germany, doing roadside patrol. “The Germans were dressing some of their people up in American uniforms from captured or killed Americans and they were sneaking into our lines and when we found out about it we started having code words for a day,” McDowell said. McDowell said they were ordered to shoot anyone dressed in an American uniform who couldn’t come up with the code word. “If you discover them, shoot them because they’re spies,” McDowell recalls being told. “So I didn’t have a guilty conscience about doing it.” McDowell still remembers standing along the road as a jeep came along carrying a colonel and his driver. “I stopped him and I asked him what the code word for the day was, and he mumbled and stumbled and I said, ‘Colonel, you better pop up with the answer or you’re going to be a goddamn dead man.’ And I had my gun out,” McDowell recalls. The colonel’s driver panicked and shouted out the code to his superior. “If he didn’t come up with the code word, I would have shot him,” he recalled, adding that he was about three seconds from pulling the trigger. “I had my hand on the trigger.” McDowell says his time in World War II deeply affected him and how he sees life and war. “I knew that I had been in something terribly important to our country but, of course, it took me a couple of months to really straighten out because I was so used to living under tension,” McDowell said. “My father he told me that one night I was pounding on the wall and he said he thought I was going to break holes in

the wall the way I was punching it with my fists. I don’t remember it. I was graced – I should have been dead at least two or three times I can think of and I thank God … I think he had his hand on my shoulder a lot.” When asked what he thinks about war, McDowell read from a speech he used to give to high schools at assemblies. He read, “One of the paradoxes in many wars had been the plea to God by the contending forces to be victorious. You would wonder, if both sides claim they are righteous, which side God would be on. War is a total waste. I mean look at the billions and billions, even trillions, of dollars that have been spent on war which essentially have accomplished nothing accept death and destruction, terror and mayhem and the loss of American life,” McDowell said. He added that he is not anti-war but believes it should only be used in very rare situations as a last resort when a country has been attacked or actual invasion on their own soil, “then you defend your country to the death.”

SALUTE TO VETERANS 7
Snapshots of WWII veterans part of exhibit During World War II, Alva Shuler, owner of Shuler’s Drugstore in downtown Oswego, honored the many local men and women who were serving in our nation’s armed forces by displaying their photos inside his store at 68 Main Street. Years later Alva Shuler’s son, Chuck, found the photos and donated them to the Little White School Museum at Jackson and Polk streets in the village. The photos will be part of a special exhibit, “Remembering Our Veterans” that will open this Sunday, Nov. 8, and continue through Nov. 15.
Bill (right) and John “Jack” Wayne were brothers from Oswego Township who served in the U.S. Navy during World War II.
Louis E. Bacino (1925-1998) served in the U.S. Army Airforce from Nov. 29, 1943, to Nov. 8, 1945. He was assigned to the 8th Air Force, 389th Bomb Group, 565th Squadron as a nose gunner in a Consolidated B-24 Liberator heavy bomber.

Uniforms worn by servicemen and servicewomen from the Oswego area, along with other military artifacts, will be featured in a special display at the Little White School Museum at Jackson and Polk streets in Oswego. The exhibit opens this Sunday, Nov. 8, and will continue through Nov. 15.
Special exhibit remembers veterans SHAW MEDIA Oswego’s Little White School Museum invites all area residents to visit the museum’s annual “Remembering our Veterans” special exhibit, expanded this year to a full week at the museum, 72 Polk St. (Jackson at Polk), just two blocks from historic downtown Oswego. The exhibit will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8, through Sunday, Nov. 15. In addition this year, the exhibit will be open until 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 11, which is Veterans Day. Admission is free, but donations are always gratefully accepted. Assistant museum director Bob Stekl said that after last year’s successful event, the museum staff decided to
extend the annual special exhibit for a full week to give all community residents a chance to attend. “In addition to the longer hours on Veterans Day, we are also adding a special members-only preview on Friday, Nov. 7, from noon to 4 p.m.,” Stekl said. The preview is open to all members of the Oswegoland Heritage Association and specially invited guests. Memberships will be available for purchase at the museum during the special open house, as well as during the entire run of the exhibit. The extensive “Remembering Our Veterans” exhibit completely fills the historic building’s main room, and includes hundreds of rarely seen artifacts, photographs and documents from the museum’s collections, with direct connections to Oswegoland
residents who served from the Civil War through the current conflicts in the Middle East and Afghanistan. In addition, each year’s exhibit features a “Wall of Honor” recognizing the service of local military personnel. This year’s exhibit will again feature a special section devoted to Oswegoland military personnel from the Civil War through Vietnam who were killed in action, along with digital photo presentations featuring Oswegoland residents who served in the Korean conflict and the Vietnam War that will run continuously during the weeklong exhibit. For more information, call the museum at 630-554-2999, send an email to info@littlewhiteschoolmuseum.org, or visit the museum website at littlewhiteschoolmuseum.org.

“Can you call mom or dad and ask ‘em to bail me out. The food here is horrible! They picked me up for jaywalking at Linden / Liszka.”
“Does anyone know the owner of this dog, found near Presidential Dr? After reading him his rights, he refuses to give up any information...”
“Apparently this pooch though we were hiring for the K-9 position, we have nothing available at the time. She is a very friendly Husky mix with one brown and one blue eye. Please help us locate her family, found near 743 Churchill Lane, Oswego.”
“Are you my owner? I was dropped off at the Oswego Police Department by an anonymous Good Samaratin, so it is unknown where in Oswego I was found. The police officers nicknamed me Bitey because I tried to bite them and the microchip scanner they tried to use on me. I am probably a good dog but just nervous that I am lost. If you are my owner I am now at Kendall County Animal Control in Yorkville.”

I
t’s a dog owner’s worst nightmare – they look around the backyard and realize their pooch has bolted out of the yard and is missing. Fortunately, the Oswego Police Department has been using a new tool in their efforts to reunite lost dogs and their fretful owners: Facebook. The tactic seems to work. According to Cathy Nevara, the police department’s public information officer, of 22 Facebook postings the department has done on lost dogs this year alone, 16 of the animals have
been reunited with their owners. “When we do get a dog that comes in, we’ll scan it to see if there is a chip and if there is we will contact that owner,” Nevara said. Police will then hold onto the dogs for a little while and post up their photos on Facebook along with a small caption before the animal is transferred to Kendall County Animal Control in Yorkville. The department has some cages and officers will provide dogs water and treats while they are being held at the station.
Some of the Facebook posts by officers are humorous. Police Chief Jeff Burgner said the officers are free to write the posts and have come up with some creative and fun ways to get people’s attention online. “We have a number of officers here that are authorized to do posts and have been given some direction and parameters,” he said. “We have some officers that get a lot of good comments and feedback.”

Diabetes screening to be Nov. 12 at Yorkville site SHAW MEDIA In recognition of Diabetes Month, Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers is offering free diabetes screenings from 6:30 to 8:30 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, at locations in Yorkville, Channahon, Coal City, Dwight, Morris and Ottawa. The finger-stick diabetes screenings will provide instant results that indicate whether a person has diabetes or prediabetes, meaning the blood sugar level is higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as Type 2 diabetes. Screenings will be offered at the Morris Hospital Yorkville Campus, 105 Saravanos Drive, Yorkville; the Morris Hospital Ridge Road Campus, 27240 W. Saxony Drive, Channahon; Family Physicians of Coal City, 935 E. Division St., Coal City; Dwight Healthcare Center of Morris Hospital, 101 S. Prairie Ave., Dwight; Morris Hospital main lobby, 150 W. High St., Morris; and Liberty Medical Center, 827 E. Norris Drive, Ottawa. A 10- to 12-hour fast is recommended prior to the screening for accurate results. A certified diabetes educator will be present at the screening held at Morris Hospital to answer questions about the results.
Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the way the body metabolizes sugar. According to American Diabetes Association, in 2012, 9.3 percent of the American population had diabetes, up from 8.3 percent in 2010. While there is no cure for diabetes, proper management of the condition can often help avoid serious health complications, including heart disease, blindness, kidney failure and lower-limb amputations. The American Diabetes Association recommends diabetes screenings for anyone over the age of 45. If the results are normal, screenings should be repeated every three years. Screenings are also recommended for individuals younger than age 45 who have a body mass index over 25 and additional diabetes risk factors, such as high blood pressure, a sedentary lifestyle, a history of polycystic ovary syndrome, having delivered a baby who weighed more than 9 pounds, a history of diabetes in pregnancy, high cholesterol levels, a history of heart disease, or having a close relative with diabetes. Appointments are not needed. For information, call Morris Hospital’s Diabetes Education Center at 815-705-7367.

“Do you know me? I was found in the St. Anne’s parking lot off of Boulder Hill Pass. I am very friendly, and was checked for a microchip. I will be taken care of at Kendall County Animal control. Please notify my owners if you know them.” officers would corral stray dogs, load them into their squad cars, and then take them directly to the county animal control facility. The department also keeps a file on owners who have reported lost or missing animals that includes a record of the description and location the pet was last seen. Nevara said they
have received 51 reports this year of lost animals and the department was notified that 14 of those had been found. And, as with humans, Burgner noted that police have had some repeat pet offenders. “We’ve had a few times where we will come across the same dog,” he said.

KENDALL COUNTY COURT CASES • David S. Langford, 30, of the 600 block Old Indian Trail, Aurora, entered a guilty plea to a charge of obstructing identification and driving on a suspended license stemming from a traffic stop Sept. 15 in the 0-99 block of Marnel Road in Oswego Township, Kendall County Court documents said. According to reports, Langford gave a false name to a deputy and said he did not know he had outstanding warrants. According to court documents, Langford was sentenced to 30 days in the Kendall County jail and 18 months of probation, and he must pay fines and court costs. • Anna K. Mastorgio, 21, of the 3300 block of Silver City Court, Montgomery, was charged with domestic battery in connection with an incident Sept. 15, Kendall County Court documents said. According to reports, Mastorgio is accused of pushing a female family member in the chest with her hands, throwing apples at the victim and pulling her hair, causing the victim to fall to the ground. Bond was set at $1,000 and a court date of Nov. 12 was scheduled. • Mustafa Ali, 28, of the 200 block of North Fourth Street, Aurora, was charged with unlawful delivery of cannabis in connection
Continued from page 1 Police also share their lost animal posts on the Illinois Lost Dog Facebook page. Nevara says social media has helped bring law enforcement closer to the community and everyone loves dogs. “We’ll get like 30,000 hits on a dog post,” Nevara said. “But that’s great because if something really does happen and we need to get something out to the public, we’ll have that.” Nevara added that sometimes a dog’s owner or a neighbor will come across the post and they are able to stop by the station and get their dog. “We do what we can to reunite them, absolutely, but that’s Animal Control’s job. We do what we can but we don’t have facilities here to house them for any length of time,” he said. “It’s nice when we can reunite them.” “With using Facebook we definitely increase the odds of finding homes for those dogs,” Burgner said. “It shows that we are not out there just arresting people and writing tickets. We are definitely out there trying to help our community and part of that job is reuniting people with their pets.” Before Facebook,

WCC trustee will leave after 23 years SHAW MEDIA Waubonsee Community College Trustee Jim Pilmer has tendered his resignation from the Board of Trustees after 23 years of service. The resignation will be effective Nov. 8. In a letter dated Oct. 21, Pilmer cited his recent appointment as executive director of the Fox Valley Park District as reason for his resignation. “In my new leadership role at this public institution, I will need to focus all of my energy and efforts into this endeavor and the residents served by the district,” he said. Pilmer was first elected to the board in November 1992, but his history with Waubonsee has spanned decades. He enrolled in the college in August 1978 as a student athlete, graduated from Waubonsee in 1981 and then began volunteering for the Alumni Association beginning in 1982. He has also served on the Waubonsee Foundation Board of Directors from 1985-1992, serving as vice president from 1988-1989 and president from 1989-1992. “Without question, Waubonsee has given far more to me than I could ever give back in return,” he said. “It has been my honor and privilege to be affiliated with such a vital and vibrant educational institu-
tion. I have been inspired by the students, faculty, administrators and fellow board members past and present who always motivated me to strive for good governance, prudent and responsible policy making and collaboration among our key stakeholders.” Pilmer Jim Pilmer was recently announced as the new executive director of the Fox Valley Park District. He will serve as the sixth director in the park district’s 68 years, and will begin his new role on Nov. 9. The Waubonsee Community College Board of Trustees will appoint someone to fill the board vacancy for the remainder of Pilmer’s term of service, which ends in 2017. “Mr. Pilmer’s presence on the board will be missed, but the impact of his decades of service to Waubonsee will continue to benefit the college indefinitely,” said Waubonsee President Dr. Christine Sobek. “We are grateful for the guidance and leadership he has provided for many years and in many roles, and we know that his talents will continue to serve our region in his new role with the Fox Valley Park District.”

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you could be suffering from knee arthritis. The CDC states that as of 2005, 26.9 million people suffer from knee osteoarthritis (OA) which typically begins after the age of 40 years old. OA in the knees can be very painful or just plain annoying at times.

DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD THE TRUTH? Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” So Pilate asks, 38 “What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them, “I find no guilt in Him.” (John 18:37-38).
AUTOMATIC HOME STANDBY GENERATORS
Pilate’s question indicates that he believes that truth is personal, (individual belief). Many today feel this same way. People say, “We just can’t see things alike, you believe your way and I’ll believe mine, as long as we believe in God!” In other words, truth is dependent on how YOU see it. Is this the right attitude toward truth, or is it just a selfish and lazy view of truth? Truth is God’s inspired Word (2 Timothy 3:16-17).Truth is the good news that hope exists, not in what man says, but in a humble Savior who died for our sins. Truth is pure, but men have corrupted “truth” with their Creeds and catechisms for centuries and the result has been anything but truth. When need to go back to the Bible and nothing else, because that is the only place where we can find the truth! Let God tell you what the right attitude toward truth is; 2 Corinthians 13:5 Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you-unless indeed you fail the test? Acts 17:11 And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth. Those with the wrong attitude toward the truth are not willing to do any of the above; they “fail the test.” Isn’t a right attitude toward truth
defined by considering views that are different from your own and test them by the Scriptures to see if they are true? Your eternal soul depends on it! Have a question you want us to answer?

Plano church filling shoeboxes with gifts
Celebrating saints
SHAW MEDIA The United Methodist Church of Plano will once again participate in this year’s Samaritan’s Purse Shoebox Christmas. A small shoebox has a big impact on changing children’s lives all over the world. Congregation members wrap their shoeboxes in Christmas paper and pack them with toys, clothing, school supplies
and personal hygiene items. These boxes will then be sent to children in underprivileged countries, where in many cases this shoebox is the only gift these children will receive. Shoeboxes are due at the United Methodist Church of Plano on or before Nov. 15. For more information, call the church office at 630-552-3700.

First Lutheran donates books overseas
Church donates to A.I.D. Adam’s House
SHAW MEDIA Fifth-grade student Laila Anderson thought it would be a good idea for her Sunday School class to embark on a community service project. She worked with the Sunday School and the Social Concerns Committee at the First Lutheran Church of Plano and a book project was chosen. To celebrate First Lutheran’s 132nd anniversary, each church member was challenged to bring in one book and the goal was set for 132 books. Church members shattered the goal and donated 558 books to the project. The books will be donated to Archbishop Porter Girls Secondary School in Ghana and the Q-1 English Elementary School in Taiwan.

Series to explore options for small acres Invasive pest workshops SHAW MEDIA The University of Illinois Extension’s local foods and small farms team is sponsoring a series of workshops on a variety of topics to help people who have a few acres learn ways to put them to use. Dates and locations for the 201516 workshop series, “Putting Small Acres to Work,” were recently announced. The workshops will be offered between Dec. 5 and April 2 at four locations throughout Illinois. Topics and presenters will vary at each location. Topics at some locations may include: social media; small flock poultry; asparagus; pumpkins; brambles
and chain saw safety; managing wildlife; how to grow a hobby into a farm business; hops; small orchards; organic/low-input vegetable gardening; sheep; ducks; and composting for livestock producers. “Putting a few extra acres to work can bring in additional income, provide an opportunity to experiment with a new enterprise, or develop an interest or hobby for its educational or entertainment value,” said University of Illinois Extension local foods and small farms educator Deborah Cavanaugh-Grant. “How to get started is the question,” she added. Workshops will be held on the following dates:
Dec. 5, NIU Rockford Conference Center, Rockford; Dec. 5, 4-H Memorial Camp, Monticello; March 12, Greenville College, Greenville; April 2, Kankakee Community College, Kankakee. “You don’t have to own hundreds of acres to create a profitable business,” Cavanaugh-Grant said. “We developed these workshops to help people realize the possibilities that a few acres can provide.” Visit the workshop website, go.illinois.edu/SmallAcres, for more information on speakers and topics and to register. For more information about the series, contact Cavanaugh-Grant at 217-782-4617 or cvnghgrn@illinois.edu.
to begin in Jan. in state SHAW MEDIA University of Illinois Extension has announced the dates for the 2016 Illinois First Detector Invasive Pest Workshops covering important landscape and nursery pests, diseases, and invasive plants. Workshops will be offered at eight locations beginning in January. Early detection and response is key in managing invasive pests. The Illinois First Detector Workshops, now in their fourth year,
are aimed at improving first detector training and invasive species awareness. They will cover new topics on current and emerging invasive plants, pathogens, and insects, along with updates on previous topics. “We are looking forward to another year of First Detector Workshops and are excited about sharing these new topics with participants,” said Kelly Estes, state survey coordinator.

Smile! It Will Make You and Others Happy!
Light in a messenger’s eyes brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones. Proverbs 15:30
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 frown), and while they hold that facial position you tell them a joke. Those who are holding the smile usually rate the joke as being funnier, presumably because they are already halfway laughing to start 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 smile, even when you don’t feel much like smiling, or perhaps especially when you don’t feel much like smiling. And an added benefit to smiling is that it tends to spread the happiness. Have an attitude and a countenance that is worth catching. - Christopher Simon
Spanish Mass, noon

Climate change’s effect on Learn about controlling local birds is dinner topic invasive plants at work days Climate change and its effect on birds in the region will be discussed at The Conservation Foundation’s Fall Membership and Awards Dinner from 5 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 19, at Abbington Banquets in Glen Ellyn. The featured speaker is Douglas Stotz, conservation ecologist and ornithologist at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, who will talk about the changes taking place in the area as a result of warming temperatures from climate change. Increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere already have caused flora and fauna in the upper Midwest to adapt to the changing climate and warmer temperatures. Stotz will focus on changes in timing of bird migration and breeding, and the wintering and breeding range of birds in the Chicago area. About 7 million birds make their

when they are sparse, such as individual plants along field edges or in home landscapes, is the one of the most expedient and environmentally-friendly control methods. You can dig, pull or chop the plants out of the ground. Buckthorn pulls out most easily when it is small, up to only about one-half inch diameter. If cutting off the plants, remember that although buckthorn doesn’t resprout from underground roots, many cut stumps usually do resprout. Treating the stumps of the cut plants with herbicides has provided successful control. Foliage that resprouts on the stumps can be treated with herbicides or fire for several growing seasons. “Girdling” the main stems of larger plants can also help with control. Proper pesticide application licenses and following all label precautions are needed if using the herbicides. Researchers at the Illinois Natural History Survey at the University of Illinois suggest that regular prescribed burning may be helpful in larger areas. More information about buckthorn is available from INHS at wwx.inhs. illinois.edu/research/vmg.

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.
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.

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.

Now we have had a couple frosts and most of the leaves have fallen, it becomes easier to identify invasive plants in the landscape, such as buckthorn and honeysuckle. These plants have become some of the biggest invasive pests in many of the wooded and natural areas in our area. Controlling invasive plant species is one aspect of The Conservation Foundation’s Conservation@Home program. Fall can be a good time to identify buckthorn plants, since the leaves tend to stay green and attached later in the fall than many other similar shrubs. It can also be a good time for removal since it may be easier to maneuver in wooded areas while other plants are dormant. In natural areas, the exotic buckthorn species shade or crowd out native vegetation, potentially leaving bare soil exposed and susceptible to excessive erosion, especially on slopes and near streams and rivers. When the more desirable shrubs and plants are choked out, it can reduce food supplies for wildlife and create dense barriers for animals, and humans, to try to travel through. To learn more about such invasives and their control, you may be interested in attending one of the upcoming volunteer restoration work days at the new Dayton Bluffs Preserve near Ottawa from 9 a.m. to noon on the second Saturday of each month. For more information or to attend, contact Jennifer Hammer at jhammer@theconservationfoundation. org. Physically removing buckthorn plants

Things gardeners can do in November’s chill Gardeners can easily find a lot to do out in the home landscape during November. As long as you can dig in the ground, you can plant spring flowering bulbs. Retailers have been offering bulbs at some pretty good prices right now. The stores would rather sell the bulbs at a discount than have to deal with them later. The bigger the bulb, the deeper they can be planted. Two to three times their widest diameter is a good rule of thumb. Planting at this time of the year may mean that next spring the bulbs will be a bit delayed in emerging and flowering. By the following year, the bulbs will have caught up and bloom as expected. Gardeners that routinely compost their yard waste will have compost available to add to the vegetable or perennial beds. In the vegetable garden, turning under the compost with a garden spade or shovel is the best way to leave the soil surface really lumpy. That rough soil surface will be able to collect snow and also go through the freeze and thaw cycles which help condition the soil. While gardeners cannot turn under the composts in a perennial bed, it will act as mulch for the winter and keep shallow rooted plants and newly planted perennials from being heaved out of the soil from those same freeze and thaw cycles that benefit the open garden soil. The composts will continue to break down and work into the soil, releasing nutrients as they do. Lawns have begun to slow down now that we are getting periods of colder weather, yet warmer days will allow them to continue to grow. Gardners will need to continue to mow for a couple reasons. First, of course, is that the lawn is long enough that it needs to be mowed. The second reason is to keep the lawn
DOWN THE GARDEN PATH Richard Hentschel cleared of leaves that could pile up and smother the grass. Some species of trees like oaks and maples like to hang on before dropping their leaves. Locust trees dropped their leaves long ago. Before the garden hose is drained of water and coiled up for the winter, gardeners should remember to water newer plantings and established needle and broad leaved evergreens. A late season watering is the difference between having brown desiccated needles and leaves next spring and plants that remain green depending on our winter weather. Homeowners new to gardening should know that even though the hose spigot on the home is “frost free,” you still need to remove the hose from the home to allow the spigot to clear itself of water that would otherwise freeze and burst the spigot or, worse, a pipe in the interior of the home, both an expensive plumbing repair. Lastly, as the mowing season really does draw to a close, clean up the lawnmower before storing for the winter. Clean the mower deck from any accumulated clips, add a fuel stabilizer to the gas tank and run the mower to get conditioned fuel into the carburetor. Lightly oil any moving parts that could rust during the winter. Gardeners wanting to get ahead of a hurried spring can even sharpen the blade.

W
hen roasted, a head of garlic is transformed into a buttery, sweet purée that you can stir into soups, dips or meat mixtures. In this recipe, it takes turkey burgers from the ordinary to the sublime. Here’s how to roast it: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the top off a garlic head so that the cloves are exposed. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the exposed cloves. Wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet. Roast 1 hour. Let cool 5 minutes. Remove the foil and squeeze the garlic head to release the roasted cloves. Store in a glass jar in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
Roasted garlic makes these patties winners
Roasted Garlic Turkey Burgers 1 pound ground turkey (a mixture of white and dark meat) Cloves from 1 head roasted garlic, mashed 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 2 teaspoons tamari or soy sauce 1 to 2 sprigs fresh thyme, stemmed ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper 1 egg, beaten (use half) ¼ cup dry bread crumbs 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 onion, thinly sliced 4 slices Cheddar cheese 4 ciabatta buns
Place turkey in a medium bowl; add garlic, Worcestershire, tamari, thyme and crushed red pepper. Mix well. Add half the beaten egg, discarding the rest. Add breadcrumbs and combine well. Form into 4 patties. Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey patties and cook about 5 minutes per side, until thoroughly cooked. Place cheese on burgers while cooking the second side. Place each on a ciabatta bun. Garnish burgers with lettuce, tomato slices and your favorite condiments. Serves 4.

Claudio's Story... I might have been born around the New Year and come from Tennessee. No one wanted my brother and I so they dropped us off at the shelter so they did not have to take care of us any longer. I am a little shy but I love giving kisses and hope that some nice family comes to take me to a 4ever home. If you are looking for someone to love and receive unconditional love in return, please contact 4Paws 4U 4Ever and an appointment can be scheduled. I look forward to giving you a big kiss when we meet! Visit, www.puppiesthatneedlove.com to see all of the puppies and dogs that are available. You can request any of the dogs or pups be brought to an adoption event for your family to meet or schedule a time to see Claudio at the shelter by calling 630-258-9219, or please fill out the Application on the website under How to Adopt. Your entire family must be present in order for you to adopt. With our Great Garage Sale Guarantee you'll have great weather for your sale, or we'll run your ad again in the next week for FREE.

Gwen is a pretty 8 year-old calico kitty, who has been in foster care with her sisters since she was a kitten. She is playful, affectionate and loves attention - petting, cuddling, you name it, she's ready for it. She has a really sweet personality, and would make a wonderful companion. She is really looking forward to having her own family to love. Gwen's adoption fee is $100.00. If you are interested in adopting a kitty companion, call Paws and Purrs Humane Society. We are an all-volunteer feline rescue group. All of our cats and kittens are cared for in foster homes until they can be adopted. Adoptions events are held from 4 to 7 pm the second Saturday of the month at the Geneva Petco on Randall Rd. We also have other cats in store at that location.
