New format, more local news To our valued readers: This edition of our paper marks the start of a bright, new era for the Record and our readers.

You’ll notice we’ve resized the paper.

We’re now an easier-to-read tabloid format with improved printing quality.

While the paper has a new shape and cleaner look, it also has more pages, more local news, more information and more features to help keep you fully informed on what’s going on in your community, your neighborhood and Kendall County.

Over the past several months, we’ve talked to our readers about how we can improve the Record and we’ve listened: • Responding to numerous reader requests, we brought back our popular Arts & Entertainment page. The reborn A&E page will provide our readers with a comprehensive weekly listing of local

Y spotlights work in Kendall county, beyond

entertainment options in Kendall County and the greater Fox Valley area, from live theater to concerts to special events and so much more. Find it in today’s paper on pages 17-18 of the Countywide section.

• Starting today, our readers will find an improved, reader-friendly classified ad section. We’ve put larger headlines on each classification and significantly increased the column widths and the space between the columns. The bottom line: it’s now much easier to find items for sale, locate garage sales and all the other items that make our classified ad section so popular.

• Our readers will find more color throughout the paper every week. More ads from local businesses will be printed in color, as will the award-winning news and sports photos from our photographers. We will also print more photos submitted by local readers and business-

es in color.

• Do you like puzzles? We do and our readers told us they like them, too.

That’s why we’re adding a weekly crossword and sudoku puzzle to our Countywide section.

We sincerely hope you enjoy these improvements and we continue to welcome your thoughts and input on how we can do even better.

We also would like to remind you that though we print our paper every week, we offer daily news and information updates on our website at KendallCountyNow.com and on our Facebook page.

We encourage you to visit our website daily for updates and to sign up for free breaking news text alerts.

Celebrating our 5th year

SHAW MEDIA YMCA of the USA and the Fox Valley Family YMCA have launched “For a better us,” a nationwide multimedia marketing campaign designed to educate consumers on the Y’s work around the country.

“For a better us” is meant to change the perception of the Y and raise awareness of the work it does in the areas of youth development, healthy living and social responsibility to address pressing social issues in more than 10,000 communities around the country.

The campaign launches with two television commercials, “Places” and “Idle Hands,” each depicting a different problem America faces today.

Places highlights people who lack the opportunities and resources they need to thrive, while Idle Hands explores the ways kids may fill their time when left unsupervised or unchallenged, without constructive activities.

“The Y works to ensure all individuals have the support they need to achieve their full potential,” said Andrew Bobbitt, CEO, Fox Valley Family YMCA. “We work in Kendall and DeKalb counties to provide services that address the most critical social issues in our community.”

Those interested in donating to the Fox Valley Family YMCA can visit foxvalleyymca.org or call 815-786-9998.

Newly sworn in Plano postmaster Abir Maamari receives a Plano pin from Mayor Bob Hausler.

Sentencing for Hastert postponed until April 8 Ex-House Speaker still recovering from stroke SHAW MEDIA The sentencing of former U.S. House Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert has been delayed.

A federal judge in Chicago agreed Jan. 28 to postpone the sentencing in a hush-money case after his attorney said Hastert nearly died in November from severe sepsis, according to the Associated Press.

U.S. District Judge Thomas M.

Durkin set April 8 as the new sentencing date for the 74-year-old Republican, who lives in Plano.

Hastert had been scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 29.

Days after pleading guilty to violating bank laws in seeking to pay someone $3.5 million Dennis in hush money, Hast- Hastert ert was hospitalized on Nov. 3 for a blood infection that spread to his spine, attorney John Gallo said.

“He nearly died that week,” the AP quoted Gallo as saying.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven

Block told the judge the government didn’t object to pushing back sentencing this time, but that it shouldn’t be put off indefinitely.

“There are victims in this case and they deserve closure,” Block said.

Hastert was accused last May of evading banking regulations as part of a plan to pay someone referred to in court documents only as “Individual A” to conceal “prior misconduct.”

The AP and other media outlets, citing anonymous sources, have reported that Hastert wanted to hide claims that he sexually molested someone decades earlier.

Hastert pleaded guilty Oct. 28. In

the written plea agreement, he directly acknowledged for the first time that he sought to pay someone to hide misconduct by Hastert against that person dating back several decades – about the time the longtime GOP leader was a teacher at Yorkville High School between 1965 and 1981, the year he was sworn in as a state representative.

Hastert was elected to Congress in 1986 and became Speaker of the House in 1999. He served as Speaker until 2007.

An Oswego High School graduate, Hastert coached football and wrestling at YHS. He coached the Foxes to a state wrestling title in 1976.

It’s snowy, it’s rainy, it’s freezing, it’s foggy, it’s not quite freezing. In short, it’s winter in northern Illinois.

For now, we sit here with hands neatly folded watching hordes of obnoxious Canada geese wheel and honk and spread the results of their suppers of last night while still more hordes of white-tailed deer browse the lower limbs of our shrubs – and finish eating the fancy-schmancy cover we bought last fall for our outdoor fire pit. These are not pretty sights but they do remind us that God has a sense of humor.

Also not pretty is the mound of junk mail that has been arriving here at junk mail central.

The thing is, though, that there really are silver linings to these clouds. Roast goose and venison sausage immediately come to mind. And so does the myriad of facts one might never have learned about – or even bothered to think about – if one hadn’t opened one’s junk mail each and every day the mail carrier showed up out front.

Here are a few things we gleaned after our trips to the mailbox here in downtown Troy: The official flower of the month of February is the violet. If you want to see one, though, you’ll have to dig through the slush, ice, snow, mud, sleet, etc.

Parties have changed

To the Editor: A Texas grand jury indicted David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt for recording and exposing Planned Parenthood’s alleged sales of aborted fetal tissue.

While pro-choicers may hail this as a victory, I see it as the ultimate evidence as to how much the Democratic and Republican Parties have changed and have been invaded by socialists who are paving the way to Communism.

The argument that a grand jury has indicted the two does not make the case or hold water. In a 1985 newspaper article Judge Sol Wachtler once said, “Any good prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich.” And in this case I personally believe that the prosecutor is nothing more than a pro-choice RINO (Republican In Name Only) who is out to scare anyone into silence who would dare expose Planned Parenthood.

In a 1950 message to Congress, Democratic President Harry Truman said, “Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.” My, how much the Democratic Party and Democratic voters have changed and that’s why I left that political plantation long ago and have never looked back.

An open heart, mind and soul along with willingness to be submissively receptive are required for forgiveness and redemption yet evil requires only a crack in the human psyche to change the course of an individual and the heart of a nation. Our nation has long been on a collision course with the forces of evil, not from an outside invader, but from the evil within ourselves and our government.

The indictment, as I understand it, states that the two video makers used deceptive practices by creating a company that was buying fetal tissue to expose PP selling fetal tissue. The Texas prosecutor is no doubt either ignoring the fact or totally ignorant that a lawsuit was filed against Planned Parenthood (later dismissed) in Aurora, Ill., alleging that Planned Parenthood misled and lied to Aurora zoning and building officials in 2006 and 2007 to get permits to build its facility there.

Unlike other nations, America once exposed and put her scandals on the front pages for the entire world to see how we morally handled them, thus setting a moral standard for the rest of the world to follow.

John Basil Barnhill in 1914 wrote, “Where the people fear the government you have tyranny.

Where the government fears the people you have liberty.” Clearly the latter has dissolved and truth has become the new hate speech. Awaken my people and know the difference between fear of • Continued on page 6

Fern Dell thanks for great rummage sale

To the Editor: The Directors of Fern Dell Historic Association thank all the great people who donated so many items for the Winter Treasures Rummage Sale last week. We had such a great variety of good quality merchandise to sell, and sell it did.

Thank you to all the volunteer help that came in to sort, mark and display the many items. Not only members of Fern Dell, but many friends of friends came to help out. Thank you all so much. It is a lot of work and very time-consuming to put on a successful sale. We also had a lot of help boxing up the leftovers, cleaning up the building and transporting to distribution centers. We appreciate your help immensely.

Rauner ignoring destruction

To the Editor: The latest podium address by our governor illustrates why we should rethink letting rich businessmen take over government. Bruce Rauner feels the state will be better served if we address issues like unemployment tax rates, tort reform, union positions on wages and benefits and turning Illinois into a right-to-work state. If things get too far out of hand, there’s always bankruptcy court.

He ignores the human destruction he sees happening while he digs in deeper regarding his pro business beliefs. With the systematic dismantling of almost all human service agencies across the state he continues to hold that all will be better if we can corporatize the system.

The latest victim is the largest social service agency in the state who will layoff half their staff because the state stopped funding them due to not having a full budget. Initially it will involve the thousands of kids in foster care not being able to see their parents as often as there won’t be staff to transport and then monitor the visits.

Later, the real tragedy will be if and

when the state gets a budget, can they get these agencies up and running again?

The laid-off staff won’t be sitting around waiting to see if Springfield will come up with a plan. They will be re-employed elsewhere. Trained staff will disappear and these programs will have to be started from scratch. That will be expensive to replace. Budgets will have to be expanded and money will be diverted to training new people. And the money will come from where, an even bigger tax increase?

If the state was in fact being run like a company, the board would surely fire the CEO due to mismanagement and a dismal outlook.

But this governor has also been walking with his elite monied crowd for too long.

In addition to showing little concern for the collateral damage to the poor and helpless at his news conference, due to his policies, he then announces an important new staff addition. His wife just hired a person to fill her vacant chief of staff position at a sum of $100,000 a year. Welcome to the one percent, you new staff member. The air smells sweeter up there.

The people of the state of Illinois will sleep better knowing Mrs. Rauner’s schedule will be functioning more smoothly and thankfully money was found to fill this much-needed slot.

Finally, at the end of his address, the governor wanted to invite the press to partake in a gift he received from his fellow pro-business governor from Michigan. Who he reminded everyone has instilled his own pro’business policies and they are working great. “Drink up, everyone, my friend Gov. Snyder says the water from Michigan is the best there is, he guarantees it. Bottled in Flint.”

Newark pancake supper moved

To the Editor: The Newark Fire Department announced that its annual “Pancake Supper” has been moved from February until April for this year.

Several factors entered into this decision. The weather being the most important, as it is usually cold and snowy that often deters people from coming out on a cold, wintry night. And because we are strictly volunteer, many of our members work at other jobs including plowing snow. That makes it more difficult to adequately prepare and serve our guests.

Dreaming of a New Color?

Work continues on special ed co-op

By LYLE R. ROLFE news@kendallcountynow.com

“When it comes to salaries, we believe we will be able to maintain their current salaries. Where we’re hoping to see a savings by switching to PASEC from the KCSEC is in the administrative costs. Tentatively we’re projecting our savings at $200,000,” he said.

The PASEC office for the director and administrative assistants will be in the Plano District 88 office. They have taken space from the conference room adjacent to his office, Garcia said.

They are saving money by not having to find another location for their offices and having to modify it for their needs. He said he wanted a location parents would feel good about, rather than one located near factories or other types of businesses.

And the utilities are already being paid by the school district, saving PASEC money, he noted.

Under the new organization structure that was presented Monday night, the director will have an administrative assistant and a person to work on human resources and finances and assist with other administrative duties.

The staff also will include a grade K-6 coordinator, and a grade 8-12 coordinator.

Students will continue to attend their present schools, where they will be taught by their present teachers and aides.

Garcia said they have three goals for PASEC. Student programs and services will not be changed, staff salaries will not be changed, and the administrative costs will be reduced.

Work is proceeding on the proposed Plano Area Special Education Cooperative, Superintendent Dr. Hector Garcia told Plano School Board members last Monday night.

Plano had been a member of the Kendall County Special Education Cooperative, until several months ago, when Oswego withdrew and the co-op was dissolved.

Since then, Plano School District 88 Board members considered forming their own cooperative and asked the Newark elementary and high school district and the Lisbon elementary districts, which were in the original cooperative, to join them.

Garcia said they have set Feb. 16 as the date for a meeting of parents of the estimated 240-260 students expected to enroll in the school. It will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Plano High School.

Garcia said the goal of the school is to provide extraordinary services for extraordinary students.

During the next few months, district officials hope to have a parent workshop and complete a draft of the comprehensive plan that can be reviewed in May with state officials. They hope to be ready to present the final plan to the state on June 8 so they can start classes for the 2016-17 school year.

School board members agreed at the Jan. 25 meeting on Garcia’s recommendation to hire Amy Lee as director for the new cooperative school. He said they expect to present her with a contract and set her salary and benefit structure at the school board’s February meeting.

Lee, a Plano resident, is presently assistant director of the KCSEC, Garcia noted.

He said district officials are hoping their assumptions of funding by the state and federal governments are correct. They believe these agencies will continue to fund special education and will appropriate funds to PASEC to help cover its costs.

If so, they will have ample funding to operate the co-op without any change in programs or services.

“I like moving ahead with what we know now rather than always fearing the worst,” Garcia added.

Home building fees reduced

In other business last week, the board reduced the district’s transition fee for new home construction in the district.

The city charges developers fees to cover the impact it believes new homes will have on the city, school, library and fire district. The fees are then passed onto those agencies to be used in ways to offset additional expenses they incur, based on the number of new residents to come from the homes or the services they will require.

Plano City Council members had been asked recently to consider lowering the various fees home builders are charged because the fees are passed onto the buyers of the homes.

The objectors said the fees are much lower in neighboring communities, resulting in home builders moving to those areas. adno=0357131

Continued from page 9 The school district was one of those agencies that charges a fee.

Garcia said Plano’s fee was $7,293 for 2013, $8,040 for 2014 and had increased 5 percent to $8,442 for 2015.

And it was scheduled to increase by 5 percent again in 2016, he noted.

He said board members discussed the fee and the various alternatives, which ranged from freezing it at the present rate with no annual increase to reducing the fee.

They voted to reduce the fee to $5,400 for the next 12 months and to review it again at that time.

“If the number of [building] permits exceeds 20 homes before the 12 months is up, the board will review the transi-

tion fee prior to that date,” he said. But he added that “considering the lack of new homes being built in the city during the past few years, it is highly unlikely that 20 new homes will be built here unless something very dramatic happens.

Garcia said this will help the community as well as help the school district in case growth does come.

Earlier in January, council members approved an ordinance reducing the Little Rock-Fox Fire Protection District’s fee to $1,000 from the former fee of $1,593 for a single-family home.

Thursday, February 4, 2016 *

The Kendall County Board unanimously approved an agreement Jan. 19 with the Illinois Department of Transportation related to the removal of underground fuel storage tanks once located at the county’s highway department facility.

The agreement closes out the removal of the tanks more than 20 years ago at the facility on Route 47 north of Route 71 in Yorkville. The agreement will now be sent to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, which will close out its investigation.

In 2013 the board unanimously voted to hire Huff and Huff Inc. to remediate contaminated soil at the facility where the tanks had leaked.

The county paid Huff and Huff $67,662, according to Fran Klaas, county highway engineer. He said the IEPA later called the county about the tank removal because they couldn’t find paperwork related to the project.

“The IEPA won’t sign off on the remediation of the tank removal until we have the highway authority agreement in place,” Klaas said.

Board member Bob Davidson’s company, H.D. Backhoe of Yorkville, was the contractor on the project to remove the tanks two decades ago.

Referring to the agreement, Davidson asked his board colleagues, “Does this give us a clean bill of health with the EPA and everyone?”

“Yes, sir,” board member Dan Koukol responded, adding, “We need to get

it signed and done so they can move on to the next project that they have.”

Todd Milliron, a candidate for the county board in the March primary election, however, took Davidson to task during the citizen’s comment portion of the board’s Jan. 19 meeting.

“The contractor that removed them is sitting on the board – it’s Mr. Davidson,” Milliron said. “It was an improper job that was done and it was noncompliance and it went on for a long, long time until eventually the IEPA said, ‘You gotta do this closure properly.’”

He added that no explanation has ever come from Davidson for the job that his firm performed.

After the meeting Davidson balked at the accusation from Milliron.

“Print whatever you want, I don’t care,” Davidson told reporters.

“I dug the hole and, yes, I pulled that tanks out of the ground,” he added.

He said another firm came in to defuse the tank: “You got to make it safe to cut a hole in it, otherwise it will blow everybody up.”

He recalled when the tanks were removed that the contractor took soil samples and had them tested in a lab.

“They told me it was safe to backfill and we hauled dirt away. [Environmental Design Services] handled all the dirt and everything else. What happened to the paperwork – that ain’t mine,” he said. “I honestly thought it was closed up until they came back to say there was a problem. Now, I don’t want to say that our government would lose paperwork in our small society that was not computerized at the time.”

Scores on the rise at Plano High School Superintendent says more students taking tests, as well

By LYLE R. ROLFE news@kendallcountynow.com Plano School Board members learned last week that several eighthgrade students were among the top students nationally for academic excellence.

School District 88 Superintendent Dr. Hector Garcia said 36 scored in the 90th percentile or higher nationwide on the PARCC exam, and they were in a class of 174 students.

“To have 36 students in the [90th percentile] nationally is quite an achievement,” he said. “And we had one student who scored in the 95th percentile on all four exams. This was Peter Schmit, who scored in the 95th percent on all four tests – reading, math, English and science.”

Garcia said Jay Kennedy had a perfect score on the science test, and four students scored perfect on math tests.

They were Ryan Lugo, Ariana Mendez,

Nevaeh Miller and Cameron Ward.

Plano’s students also did well on national PSAT tests in recent years.

Garcia noted that in 2010, 21 sophomore and junior students took the PSAT tests. The number dropped to 13 in 2011 and hit a low of six in 2012. And these were the top students in the two classes, he said.

This test can lead to scholarships, and provide access to elite universities, he said, noting that it is a national test.

So why were the numbers so low for the first few years? He said teachers and administrators were not selling the test to the students.

“If you were 17 and someone said, ‘Hey, would you like to take a two-anda-half-hour exam?’ you’d probably say no.

“But if I said you were one of our top students and that people should know about you around the country, you might be interested. You can’t write to every university, but I have a way you can make contact with all of them and they’ll be calling you and sending you information. “‘How would you like to come in Saturday morning? And don’t worry about the test fee. We’ll take care of that,’ I would say. And if they were still hesitant, I’d offer to call their parents and

“If you were 17 and someone said, ‘Hey, would you like to take a two-and-a-half-hour exam?’ you’d probably say no. But if I said you were one of our top students and that people should know about you around the country, you might be interested.”

Dr. Hector Garcia School District 88 superintendent make them aware of the offer to get their encouragement,” Garcia said.

And when the top students began showing an interest, in 2014 and 2015, they started recruiting those in the top 20 percent and then the top 50 percent.

The number taking the test increased to only nine for 2013, but jumped to 43 in 2014 and 68 for 2015, he said.

Garcia said they were still testing only the top students, and the results were not what they wanted. In 2010, 21 students tested and 10 scored in the top 50 percent.

In 2011, 13 students tested and 10 of them were in the top 50 percent, but this dropped to six students testing and only four in the top 50 percent in 2012 and down even further to nine testing and one in the top 50 percent for 2013.

The next two years, they opened the tests to students in the top half of the class. In 2014, 19 students tested, two of whom scored in the top 10 percent.

Overall, 15 students scored in the top 50 percent.

And in 2015, 36 tested, eight of whom were in the top 10 percent and 34 of whom scored in the top 50 percent.

Eight of the test takers were in the top 10 percent nationally.

Garcia said they expected the scores to drop because students not in the top 10 percent were taking the tests. But the results showed they were wrong, he noted.

In 2015, 25 of the 32 sophomores scored in the top 50 percent and 5 of them were in the top 10 percent nationally. And among the juniors in 2015, 34 of the 36 who tested, scored in the top 50 per cent and 8 of them scored in the top 10 per cent nationally.

Garcia said he is pleased with the improved scores since he came to Plano in 2011 but noted they see much room for improvement.

Know where airports are

The 5-mile rule applies to all airports, public or private, and heliports, including corporate and hospital, FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said in an email.

Interactive maps outlining the 5-mile radii surrounding U.S. airports have popped up all over the Internet.

Software used in the operation of a drone also has maps letting users know if they are in the 5-mile area.

The FAA has a smartphone application called B4UFLY – a mapping system that shows a person’s exact location and airport locations to determine where drone users can fly.

Boucher said the 5-mile rule brings more questions than answers.

“The biggest problem is, if it’s a private airstrip, who do you contact?” he said.

While most people know where a larger airport is, they don’t realize there are many private strips on privately owned land, and those strips are included in the rule.

WIGHT – Ask someone about farm machinery, and the image conjured often is of a brightgreen John Deere tractor or a large red Case IH combine.

Rarely would one consider a small unmanned aircraft such as the Phantom Drone.

However, Matt Boucher of Dwight knows how much an unmanned aerial vehicle – more commonly referred to as a drone – can benefit a farmer.

“They are great for crop scouting,” Boucher, a farmer and drone dealer, said from his rural Dwight farm. “You can look at live video coming back from the drone, and if the crop doesn’t look right, you can go straight to the area of concern.”

Boucher said with more people purchasing drones, it’s important they are aware of regulations in place.

One regulation that went into effect Dec. 21 requires all owners of drones weighing between 0.55 and 55 pounds to register online before taking to the skies.

Another is that if a UAV is flown within 5 miles of an airport or helipad, the operator of the aircraft has to provide the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower with notice of the operation prior to sending the drone into the air.

The Federal Aviation Administration allows airport personnel to deny a person’s request to fly if they believe the activity impacts the safety of other airport operations.

an airplane, which is costly.

While the initial cost of a drone is significant – Boucher has one that cost $4,000 – it becomes more reasonable when it’s averaged out by the number of acres it can survey.

“If you have a 1,000-acre farm, the cost is $4 an acre to have the aerial view. If you use it more than once, it drops the cost even lower,” he said.

Nelson, perhaps because he works in the agriculture industry, said he can see the benefit of the drone being used by a farmer, but as a pilot he also knows there is a real concern.

“If we have a midair collision with a drone and it damages my prop or my engine, who is going to pay that?”

Nelson said.

He said aerial application planes can cost between $750,000 and $1.5 Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com million. The propeller and jet engines Matt Boucher demonstrates a drone he uses to monitor the health of his crops.

“We will review each call on a caseby-case basis when they come in,” he said. “Until the FAA gets a definitive set of rules, it puts people like myself – as well as drone users – at a disadvantage.”

Sid Nelson, an aerial application pilot from Morris who has worked in the agriculture industry for a number of years, said any private or public airport is required to be registered with the state of Illinois, so farmers looking to call should be able to find a contact number online.

He admits, however, that an ultra-light aircraft pilot may have a strip and isn’t required to register it, meaning there could be unexpected aircraft in some areas. He said some strictly agriculture landing strips also might not be registered.

“I think they need to clarify ‘private,’ ” Nelson said.

Nelson said he feels the FAA had to put restrictions on the drones quickly because the popularity of the UAVs grew rapidly over the past couple of years.

“The use of drones came on so fast and caused so many problems they had to do something until they can figure out how to control them,” Nelson said.

Plano can’t pin down repeat win over Indians

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com It took the Plano wrestling team 30 years to celebrate a dual win over rival Sandwich, but the Reapers couldn’t keep the momentum going in 2016.

Sandwich hosted the Reapers in an Interstate Eight Conference dual on Friday and earned a 54-29 victory in front of a crowd of wrestling alumni as the Indians celebrated Senior Night and the 50th anniversary of their wrestling program.

“The guys wrestled up to the challenge,” Plano head coach Joe Kampf said. “We wrestled tough and finished the matches. There were pins all day and one tech fall. Some matches didn’t go our way, but we did all right. It’s good to wrestle Sandwich one-on-one.”

In 2015, Sandwich lost to Plano for the first time in 30 years – something the squad did not want to repeat this season.

The match started at 132 pounds with Sandwich’s state-ranked Tommy Dale pinning Plano’s Jovany Burciaga in 1:37, but Plano’s Myles Mendoza

got the pin at 138 over Dylan Limon in 2:44.

Plano took a lead on Juan Lazarit’s pin in 2:31, but Sandwich’s Zach Reyes pinned Eric Boutin in 3:10. With the score tied at 12, Sandwich took command of the night. Dylan Boyd pinned Connor Kensel in 1:25 for the win at 160, Plano forfeited at 170 and Corbett Bennett pinned Antonio Peray in just 43 seconds to give the Indians a 30-12 lead.

The Reapers forfeited at 195 and got a win at 220 before heavyweight standout Tommy Brown pinned Jimmy Weekly in 4:32 to cut the Indians’ lead, 36-24. Plano forfeited at 106 before state-ranked Nico Nunez won by tech fall at 113 pounds, but the Reapers’ deficit was too much to overcome on the scoreboard.

Sandwich’s Nevin Thielk helped the Indians build a 48-20 lead when he pinned Jake Krotz with two seconds left in the third period and Ethan Dockendorf punctuated the night with a third period pinfall in the 126-pound bout against Robert Luckey for the Indians’ final win.

Dockendorf was the only Sandwich senior to wrestle on Senior Night with Alex Maisonet taking the forfeit win at 195.

“It’s Senior Night and this season is our 50th anniversary, so we celebrated that and invited the alumni,” Sandwich head coach Josh McCarty said.

“It turned out to be real good. We talked about how we lost to Plano last year

and we wanted to set a standard and show the crowd that Sandwich wrestling is still working hard.”

Plano will close its regular season on Tuesday, hosting East Aurora, Genoa-Kingston and Aurora Central Catholic for its Senior Night.

The Reapers will begin the postseason on Feb. 6 at the Class 1A Coal City Regional.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: PLANO 54, MANTENO 46

By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com After finishing eighth at the Interstate Eight Conference tournament, the Plano girls’ basketball team returned to regular season league play Monday with a 54-46 victory at Manteno.

The Reapers are now 10-15 overall and 5-4 in the conference with just four games left on the schedule – including Herscher and Rosary in the next week – before Class 3A playoff action begins.

“I can’t believe how quickly this

year has gone,” Plano head coach John Chernick said. “I’ve really grown to admire this group of girls. Our record speaks for itself, but the character and heart that these girls show night after night, both in games and on the practice court, has been inspiring to me.”

Against Manteno, Plano led 16-6 after the first quarter and 27-10 at halftime before the Panthers ended up outscoring the Reapers 21-10 in the final frame. Senior Rylie Loux led the way with 14 points and junior Bradi Gann scored 12 points, 11 rebounds and six steals.

Loux ended up on the All-Tournament team, even though Reed-Custer topped No. 7 Plano in the game for seventh place, 61-55, on Jan. 27. Peotone took first after the victory over Herscher (41-34) at tournament host Coal City last Friday.

“Rylie was voted by the other coaches in the league. It’s quite an honor for her, and with only 10 players selected, it takes a lot to get someone on the team, especially when you finish [eighth],” Chernick said. “She has really turned into a consistent scorer for us and she has played well on both ends of

the floor.”

Against Reed-Custer, the Comets led 34-24 at halftime. The Reapers were down by as much as 20 and was able to cut the lead to six after outscoring them 17-9 in the fourth quarter. Ashontik Jones led Plano with 15 points.

“We match up really evenly with Reed-Custer, and I think the two games between us show that,” said Chernick, whose Reapers defeated the Comets 6357 earlier in the season. “Both teams like to run the floor, and that makes for exciting games. We just didn’t do enough early in that one.”

Plano junior Elijah Maisonet was then fouled and hit one free throw with 21.3 seconds to play. Peotone attempted a final three-point shot, missed and Maisonet grabbed his 10th rebound of the contest with one second remaining.

defeated No. 5 Streator in the second round and lost to Reed-Custer in the semifinals.

Herscher ended up in fifth place (over Lisle), Streator placed seventh (over Westmont), Seneca finished ninth (against Manteno) and Coal City topped Wilmington for 11th place.

By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com In the last two seasons, the Plano boys’ basketball team fell to Peotone in conference play, but got their revenge on the Blue Devils in the Interstate Eight Conference tournament.

Plano suffered a 19-point loss to Peotone in early December, but the fourth-seeded Reapers celebrated a 5452 overtime win over No. 2 Peotone on Friday to take third place in Coal City.

“It’s like the same story two years in a row,” Plano head coach Kyle Kee said. “We played with a lot of heart. It’s

good to see these seniors get third. It was just a great game for us. This was definitely one of our better games. We beat a quality opponent. This was definitely a good one.”

“The second time, we knew what they were going to do,” Plano senior Marcus McKinney added on Peotone.

“We played a lot tougher than the last time. We’ve improved a lot since then.

Our press is a lot better and people are knocking down big shots, which is what we needed.”

The amazing transformation of Dee-Dee Carter, Fitness Diva

By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com

D

ee-Dee Carter is a woman with many titles.

Carter went from being a 400-pound wife and grandmother working in the mortgage industry to an in-shape nutritionist specializing in child and sports nutrition, author, certified weight management consultant, motivational speaker, video producer, teacher and aspiring model who is now known as “The Fitness Diva.”

It took the Yorkville resident about two years to make the transformation from a size 36 to a size 8, but she is happier and healthier than ever. The weight loss was not for vanity purposes – it was a life-or-death situation.

She either had to make a change or else she would face possible mortality and an unhappy existence for the rest of her days.

“I knew I could do this. With

God’s help, I can do anything,” Carter said. “I could not give up because my life was on the line.”

The journey started in January of 2014. That’s when her doctor let her know her kidneys were failing. If she did not start taking better care of herself, she would have to turn to dialysis – a treatment that is needed when the kidneys can no longer take care of your body’s needs.

When Carter realized this, she cried.

“When the doctor said I was on my way to dialysis if I don’t do something right away, that was it for me,” Carter said.

From that point on, Carter swore off greasy, fried fast food and sugary drinks. She promised herself she would eat a clean diet and drink more water. She also started to work out. A lot.

By August of 2014, the first 100 pounds were gone. In March of 2015, another 100 pounds had disappeared. As of January 2016,

LEFT: In January of 2014, Dee-Dee Carter was at her heaviest – nearly 400 pounds in a size 36. ABOVE: At the end of December 2015, Dee-Dee Carter was happy to be a size 8 and healthy.

Carter had lost 250 pounds.

“I lost a whole person,” said Carter, who is in her 50s. “I just had to keep going. I had a lot of close people cheering me on.

I’m still working on those last 10 pounds. I’m a size 8 and I’m happy, but I’m not there yet.”

Carter knows her weight gain did not happen overnight. She said she was heavy her whole life and was abused as a child, so food became her comfort.

“It was a never-ending battle,” said Carter.

The battle, however, carried over to Carter’s husband, Reginald. Tall and slim with a resemblance to Derek Jeter, he never dealt with weight issues.

Any time he wanted to go to IHOP to get all-you-can-eat pancakes loaded with butter and syrup, he did.

While Dee-Dee was in the midst of her weight loss journey, Reginald started to get headaches and felt light-headed. He knew

Jean Marie Vartiak was born on June 28, 1956, in Chicago, Illinois and passed peacefully at home on January 31, 2016, after courageous battles with cancer: breast, thyroid, leukemia and pancreatic.

WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE

Continued from page 1 own. She did this. She works hard at what she does, and the before and after pictures show that.”

The weight loss also inspired DeeDee to switch careers. Before, she was a lot quieter as a woman working in the mortgage industry. She left that business during her weight-loss transition and went back to school to become a certified weight management consultant and personal nutritionist. She currently teaches classes at the Plainfield Park District, is writing a book about her weight loss journey (with hopes it will be published by this summer), is in the process of producing a workout video and has aspirations to model.

Dee-Dee has been featured on social media and local TV programs. She is hoping the exposure will inspire others

who are struggling with their weight.

“For the rest of my days I want to help people, especially the obese,” said Dee-Dee, who wanted to thank William “Bill” Apostolos Jr. for all the encouragement. “I don’t want anyone to ever go through what I went through.”

Carroll, who has been Dee-Dee’s trainer for about a year, has been at Planet Fitness for three years and has been in the business for six, said his client is an inspiration to everyone.

“She is one of those that is a dramatic success story,” Carroll said. “A lot of the time, people come in for a few months and then flake off. She stuck around and put in all the work and got a nice success story out of it. People want to have the success story, but they don’t want to put the work in. Anyone can be successful in this industry, but you just have to put the work in, and she has put the work in. I wish everyone was like her.”

CHANGES

CABIN FEVER SALE

CHANGE can be good and is even necessary. For salvation we must repent (change our mind) and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:38). As a Christian the CHANGE must be on going because of the world in which we live. Scripture puts it this way in Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. As Christians we are not to be like the world but CHANGING and renewing our mind daily to do God’s will, not my will or desires!

For many people CHANGE is a difficult thing to do, but there are two main reasons we can CHANGE. 1) GOD IS FAITHFUL 1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. 2) GOD DOES NOT CHANGE “For I, the LORD, do not change” (Malachi 3:6). “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

(Hebrews 13:8).

Yet, too many people are trying to CHANGE God’s Word to fit their ideas and desires!

Coming Smile! It Will Make You andYour Others Happy!

Into Own

There is a very interesting psychology experiment “You will keep in perfect where you trick people into either smiling or frowning without their knowing it (by telling them to peace those whose minds hold a pencil either in their teeth, to make them are steadfast, smile, or with their pursed lips, to make them because they trust in you.” frown), and while they hold that facial position you tell them a joke. Those who are holding the smile — Isaiah 26:3 NIV usually rate the joke as being funnier, presumably because they are already halfway laughing to start with. The moral of the experiment, if experiments t a certain age, we realize that our islives can bewesaidcannot to havelive a moral, that by our anyone bodies else’s standards. Despite often thetake fact that we are social the lead in making us feel happybeings, or sad, and other people’s opinions matter to us, we must sooner or later or calm anxious.

Droopy,wherever lackadaisicalthat posture heed our own counsel and follow our orown advice, may will make you feel defeated while standing up tallor lead. Some are blessed to realize this early, perhaps even in their teens andmay strongnot will come make you feelthey like aare winner.

So twenties, for others this realization until in their smile,never even when don’ttheir feel much smiling, forties or even fifties, and some may comeyouinto own,like living their perhaps especially whenmay you don’t feel muchbe entire life by someone else’s planor for them.

The path not always straight or clear, but trust that there is an pathtothere, only like smiling.

Andauthentic an added benefit smiling isif that you can quiet the many voices calling youto down inauthentic paths long it tends spread those the happiness.

Have an attitude enough to see your own way. And if there is no path there, but you see your goal, and a countenance that is worth catching. knowLight that inyou may have to clear your own path to get there. Trust yourself, and a messenger’s remember the joy admonition of Ralph Waldo EmersonSimon when he said that “Who so would eyes brings to the heart, - Christopher be a man,and must benews a nonconformist” for “Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of good yourgives own health mind.”toBe lamp unto yourself, and since God has put within you a spark theabones. of divine fire to light your lamp, you cannot go astray if you trust in your true self.

Thursday, February 4, 2016

Garden catalogs began to show up in early January and will continue a while. As you peruse and plan, take note of the details. There may be plenty of phrases and initials that you know, but there may be some new to you too.

Vegetable descriptions will often include a number of initials at the end. These usually signify that the vegetable has been bred with disease resistance, or tolerance to a disease, specific to that variety. A tomato, for example, may have several initials: V, F, N, TMV for resistance to Verticillium and Fusarium wilt, Nematode resistance and Tobacco Mosaic Virus, respectively. Cucumbers can wear the initials CMV, CVYV and PM. These stand for Cucumber Mosaic Virus, Cucumber Vein Yellowing Virus, Powdery Mildew and a new one in the last couple of years is DM for Downy Mildew. Just about every improved hybrid variety of vegetable will carry some level of disease resistance.

Downy Mildew also is a new disease to basil, which was an easy-to-grow herb in the past. This is a different strain than the one on cucumber and so far the best we have is an intermediate resistance to DM for some varieties, so read carefully.

Another term frequently used to promote a variety is the designation F1. This means that this variety is a first generation cross by two known parent plants and contains the best genes from both the male and female plants. This F1 hybrid can be a better performer, provide a higher yield, and have more disease resistance or tolerant than either parent.

Vegetables, just like flowers, can have the AAS designation. This All-America Selection designation signifies that this variety has performed

FOOD Lentils – and other legumes – hold promise for 2016

By LISA ABRAHAM More Content Now So long, 2015 – the year that brought us Nordic cuisine.

Did you miss it? Me, too. Not too much of that herring made it to central Ohio – which might or might not be a good thing, depending on your perspective.

Here we sit on the precipice of a new food year, and I am duty-bound to inform you about what to expect in 2016. I am proclaiming 2016 the year of the lentil – and I’m in good company.

The United Nations has proclaimed 2016 the International Year of Pulses (leguminous crops harvested for use as dry grains).

Look for lentils to replace kale as the new “it” food – not just lentils but chickpeas and dried beans of all varieties. Hummus and falafel for everyone!

Adding protein-packed legumes to our weekly meal plans is a great way to eliminate cholesterol-laden meat from our diets and to lessen the carbon footprint from meat production.

Plus, beans are mighty tasty.

Getting everyone to cook beans, however, might prove more challenging this year. Indicators suggest that interest in cooking at home – which peaked during the 2008 recession – is waning. The shift is due in part to constraints on time. In 2016, look for more “assembly dinners” and for meal-delivery services to grow more popular.

• Lisa Abraham is the food editor for the Columbus Dispatch.

Kelly Michelson 630.551.1111

kelly@michelsonteam.com kelly.michelson@bairdwarner.com My husband and I recently bought a home with Kelly and Josh Michelson. We loved them! They went above and beyond what I would have expected. I know I sent texts at 9pm on a Sunday and got an immediate response no matter what time of day it was. Either Kelly or Josh were always available to show us houses during the time and day we picked. There was never any waiting, we always asked Kelly a million questions and she was so nice and answered everything thoroughly. Kelly and Josh I feel like genuinely care about their clients. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else besides the Michelson team!

Beth David 815.325.3563

beth@michelsonteam.com beth.david@bairdwarner.com Working with Beth David has made the process of selling my mother’s house so much easier for me and my family.

She was always forthcoming with answers to any questions we had. Beth’s skill was obvious as she dealt with the problems we encountered. She was very professional in her treatment of the buyers, agents and financial issues. I am very grateful that Beth David was with us every step of the way, and we reached a successful closing date . Thank you, thank you, Beth!

Patty Harbin 630-777-5861

patty@michelsonteam.com patty.michelson@bairdwarner.com There are many Realtors who can sell your home, but there are few who are true problem solvers. When problems arise, most Realtors have few resources at their disposal. With Patty Harbin, when problems arose, she didn’t throw up her hands. Instead she worked even harder to find the solution that we needed. We contacted Patty to enlist her to sell our home. Unfortunately, we learned that our home value would not support a sale or a refinance to lower our extremely high interest rate. However, Patty didn’t walk away from us even though there was no financial gain for her. She engaged several resources for us which enabled us to remain in the home we love! What more could you ask from a Realtor? We are customers for life.

Brenda Weaver 630.330.6195

brenda@michelsonteam.com brenda.weaver@bairdwarner.com We are fortunate to have a new addition to the Michelson Team with Brenda Weaver joining us this year. She brings to the team a wealth of knowledge, experience, high integrity, & a caring heart!

Brenda helped me downsize from a 2,000 sq. ft. townhouse to a 1,000 sq. ft. apartment at a senior center. Brenda was extremely helpful leading up to everything. She was able to offer suggestions for staging my home to attract buyers, and made recommendations for agents to handle the estate sale. Brenda gave me peace of mind, and made the process easier. She knew her business yet she was very helpful and accepting and patient. It gave me the feeling of confidence that I could get through it. adno=0366149

The stories and scandals of the actors, actresses and studio moguls in Hollywood’s Golden Age is the topic for this presentation given by Martina Mathisen as Luella Parsons, Hollywood’s most dynamic and powerful gossip columnist.

Called the Queen of Hollywood, Luella could make or break a career with a few taps of her typewriter.

The day before the Super Bowl, Fox Valley area youth will be participating in the “Souper Bowl of Caring.” This annual nationwide event empowers young people to help those in their community who go hungry due to lack of resources.

For the 10th year, Fox Valley United Way is partnering with local grocery stores, and recruiting student volunteer and adult mentors who will greet shoppers and accept food and monetary donations. Shoppers are asked to consider purchasing one of a suggested list of items and leaving it in the Souper Bowl of Caring bin near the store’s exit. Or they may provide cash donations – each dollar donated gives the pantries the ability to purchase $8 worth of food from the Northern Illinois Food Bank.

These contributions provide significant support to the Aurora Area Interfaith Food Pantry and the Kendall County Food Pantry. Last year, this event gathered 3,200 pounds of food and collected over $7,800.

Fox Valley United Way volunteers will be at each participating food store from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 6, to accept donations. This year’s locations include Jewel-Osco stores on Eola Road and W. Galena Boulevard in Aurora, Veterans Parkway in Yorkville, Orchard Road and Route 30 in Oswego and N. Route 47 in Sugar Grove, as well as Prisco’s Family Market on Prairie Street in Aurora.
