Dead tree disposal topic for Plano City Council discussion

By LYLE R. ROLFE news@kendallcountynow.com Dead trees and what should be done with them were discussed at length

by Plano City Council members Monday night at a Committee of the Whole meeting, but no decision reached.

John McGinnis, public works director, said they have trees, brush and other wood waste stored at a city site on Larson Street that should be disposed of.

He said they have a proposal from Steve Piper & Sons Inc. of Naperville to grind up and dispose of the material.

This firm did similar work for the city several years ago, McGinnis said.

McGinnis said Piper’s bid is $340 an hour for a grinder and operator to grind the materials into wood chips or mulch.

“We’re estimating we’ll have about

10 hours worth of work at the $340-anhour rate to grind what is presently stockpiled there,” McGinnis said.

When Mayor Bob Hausler asked if Piper would remove the ground-up materials, McGinnis said this was a separate bid. He said Piper would charge a total of $2,250 to grind and dispose of all material including logs left from the trees.

Hausler asked if Piper could leave the chips for the city to use as mulch and McGinnis said yes. He said Piper estimated they would end up with several hundred yards of chip material left. It would be run through the grinder twice to be small enough for use as mulch, McGinnis added.

Hausler asked if they would have enough room at this site to store the chips through the end of the season.

McGinnis said there are still people cutting down dead trees and leaving

them on the parkway for the city to pick up, so more material will be added to the site this year.

Burning of branches and yard waste also was mentioned, but Hausler said the EPA bans the burning, not the city.

One of the aldermen suggested they could seek bids for this work, but no decision was made. It also was noted that these costs had not been included in the present budget.

Aldermen also questioned whether residents would take the free mulch if left for them.

The final decision was to leave the mulch for residents to pick up. If not taken by residents, the city will have to pay to have it hauled away.

In the meantime, McGinnis said he would prepare a bid proposal for firms interested in helping resolve the problem in the future.

County jail housing pact renewed

By TONY SCOTT tscott@kendallcountynow.com The Kendall County Board voted unanimously Aug. 2 to renew a twoyear agreement with Cook County to house some of that county’s prisoners in the Kendall County Jail in Yorkville.

Before the vote, Kendall County Undersheriff Harold Martin said he expects that the jail could house as many as 20 to 25 Cook County inmates a day.

Cook County will pay the county $60 an inmate per day, and will transport the inmates to and from Kendall County, according to the agreement.

Martin said Kendall County is paid

the same rate as other counties that house Cook County inmates.

Board member John Purcell asked Martin if the agreement allows Kendall County to “restrict the types of individuals” being housed at the jail.

Martin said the county will “not be getting the worst of the worst.”

“If there are any issues with any inmates, we can send them back,” Martin said.

Assistant State’s Attorney Leslie Johnson pointed out that the agreement specifies that the county is not obligated to house Cook County inmates who “exhibit physical or mental health problems or incorrigible behavior.”

Asked about the vacancy rate at the

jail, Martin said the jail’s capacity is 203 and that they are averaging 118 inmates a day.

The jail also houses inmates from Kane County, DeKalb County and prisoners from the U.S. Marshals Service.

The board also voted unanimously to renew a contract between the sheriff’s office and the village of Newark to provide that town with police services.

Martin said the deputies are paid $30 an hour by the village. He said the village also is paying the sheriff’s office by the mile for the use of the squad car, plus $2 an hour for every hour worked by the deputies.

The agreement with Newark is in effect through May 12, 2017.

Coroner and state’s attorney accused of violating ordinance

SM-CL0371699

Tony Scott - tscott@shawmedia.com

Attorney Patrick Kinnally, State’s Attorney Eric Weis, attorney Kirsten Casas, Coroner Ken Toftoy and attorney Peter Wilson at Tuesday evening’s ethics commission hearing. cordings of those conversations that have yet to be officially released to the public but were published on a local radio station’s website.

Milliron also accused Weis and Toftoy of planning to fire Administrative Deputy Coroner Jacqueline Purcell.

Purcell won a contested Republican primary race this spring to replace Toftoy as elected coroner, and does not face a Democratic challenger in the November general election. She is expected to take office as the new coroner on Dec. 1.

Toftoy, who was first elected to office in 1992, did not run for re-election.

Finally, Milliron said in his complaints that Toftoy gave a deputy coroner’s badge to a state lobbyist and did not disclose the lobbyist as a deputy coroner. He said there were three former Illinois State Police officials working as deputy coroners on Toftoy’s staff and that Toftoy’s father-in-law is a retired State Police commander. As part of that complaint, Milliron suggested there was a conflict of interest related to an eavesdropping investigation being conducted by the State Police in

relation to the audio recordings of Toftoy’s conversations.

Wilson said the complaints didn’t meet the criteria to be sufficient. Regarding the recordings referenced by Milliron, Wilson said they don’t know who is on the recordings, when they were recorded or if they were edited, and that they amount to hearsay.

Wilson also said Toftoy could have as many unpaid or paid deputy coroners as he sees fit, according to the state’s coroner act.

During the hearing, a clearly frustrated Milliron tried to explain the basis of his complaint, but was thwarted

by Groat, who said he did not include which portion of the ordinance the officials allegedly violated in his complaint.

“Where is the violation ... stated in your complaint?” Groat asked at one point.

Milliron complained that the tapes had not been released via the Freedom of Information Act, but Groat responded, “I have nothing to do with that.”

“That is the basis of this complaint,”

Thursday, August 11, 2016

Kendall County’s ethics commission dismissed complaints that a county resident filed against Coroner Ken Toftoy and State’s Attorney Eric Weis in a hearing Tuesday evening in Yorkville.

Todd Milliron, a rural Yorkville resident who ran unsuccessfully in the spring Republican Party primary for County Board and has been a frequent critic of local government officials, filed four separate complaints with the ethics commission on July 13.

Attorney James Groat acted as hearing officer during Tuesday’s hearing.

Chairman Judith Burks and commissioners Amy Cesich, Kristine Heiman and Ruben Rodriguez attended the hearing. Commissioner Brad Mathre was absent.

At the hearing’s conTodd Milliron clusion, the commissioners determined that none of the four complaints were sufficient, and that one of the complaints that involved both Toftoy and Weis was frivolous in nature. The commission could have also handed down sanctions of up to $5,000 to Milliron for filing a frivolous complaint, but chose not to do so.

During the hearing, attorney Peter Wilson of Aurora represented Toftoy and attorney Patrick Kinnally of Aurora represented Weis. Milliron represented himself during the hearing.

In one complaint, Milliron claimed that Toftoy appointed politically-connected friends as deputy coroners.

Milliron also claimed in his complaints that Toftoy and County Board member Matthew Prochaska had a conversation about “how to punitively attack myself within their powers of government.” Milliron pointed to re-

Milliron said.

“You put a hyperlink [in the complaint] and said, ‘This appeared in a news story, and here’s the hyperlink,’” Groat said. “You didn’t even say I read that story or I saw the story or I heard the story, and you didn’t summarize the story. You didn’t attach a copy of it on a disk. You just put a hyperlink.

A hyperlink is not self-authenticating.”

When Milliron protested that he was “just a regular citizen,” Groat said the standards applied to everyone.

“You’re held to the same standards as everybody else, and ... to have a valid complaint, you have to state a violation of the ordinance,” Groat said. “Show me where you’ve stated a violation of the ordinance in complaint number one. Tell me what paragraph has been violated.”

Milliron also said he had “new evidence” that he received that day, but Groat said the commission couldn’t address that since it wasn’t in the filed complaint.

Milliron then suggested that the commission table, or postpone, the hearing, until he could get the audio tapes, but Groat said that was not possible.

Milliron said the purpose of his complaints was to allow the ethics commission to “look into” possible violations.

“That’s basically what I think happened is, there may have been violations of this ordinance, and I’m asking these four citizens [the commission] to look into it,” he said.

However, Groat explained that such a task wasn’t within the jurisdiction of the commission.

“You misunderstand our ordinance,” he said. “We’re not a police agency. We’re not the FBI. We’re an ethics commission and, based upon a complaint that states a violation of our ordinance, that then triggers our power to act. Without a statement that is clearly shown to be a violation of the ordinance, we don’t have the power. We don’t have the jurisdiction to go forward with those other powers and duties under the act.

FORUM Don’t wait, say ‘thanks’ now

To the Editor: The Purple Heart medal was established in 1782. The Vietnam War began in 1964.

Seeing these two events on a veteran’s calendar for Aug. 7, 2016, reminded me of the many young men and women who served in Vietnam and some of whom received the Purple Heart for being wounded in action. One of these is my son “Steve.”

Bradley Stephen Barrett Jr. was born in New Jersey and enlisted in the Navy in 1967 where he completed Hospital Corps School at Great Lakes and Pharmacy Technician School in Portsmouth, Virginia. He was assigned to NAS Lakehurst in New Jersey in 1970. He received orders to Vietnam and flew helicopter medevacs with the 1st Marine Air Wing. He was shot down, wounded, exposed to Agent Orange and received the Purple Heart.

After returning to the United States, he was assigned to the USS Providence, a guided missile cruiser in San Diego.

Barrett was released from active duty in 1972 and joined the Naval Reserve where he served with the 4th Marine Air Wing in Glenview until 1991. He retired as a

senior chief petty officer in 1999. He became accredited by the General Counsel of the Department of Veterans Affairs in Washington, D.C. Currently, he is serving as superintendent in the Kendall County Veterans Assistance Program, ably assisted by Chad Lockman, a Marine veteran, and Olivia Laschober, an Army veteran. He resides in Oswego with his wife, Lyn. They have a son, daughter, and six grandchildren. We are all very proud of him, his service to our country and his ongoing efforts to aid his fellow veterans.

The Vietnam War and its veterans were not recognized until this year, Let’s not wait another 50 years to say “Thanks.”

If you would like to send a card to Steve, the address for the Kendall County Veterans Assistance Commission is 811 W. John St., Yorkville, IL 60560.

Don’t wait until Veteran’s Day to say “thanks” to any veteran of any war at any time of the year, at any place. Please just say “thank you for your service.” You will be rewarded with a smile (and perhaps a tear or two).

Bison graze in a field on the grounds at Fermi National Laboratory in Batavia.

Donald Wray concluded in a 1945 article in the Transactions of the Illinois State Academy of Science, “Bison in Illinois Archaeology,” that bison did not arrive in Illinois until around 1600.

Their conclusion was considered definitive for the next half-century.

But bison bones kept popping up in places they shouldn’t have if the theory was correct. By the late 1990s, R. Bruce McMillan, then the director of the Illinois State Museum, was curious enough to begin looking at the subject anew. He figured one good way to get an idea of bison in Illinois would be to survey the state’s local museums – large and small alike – to see just how many bison remains had been discovered and where they were found.

As part of his study, McMillan and Dr. Bonnie Styles of the museum staff visited the Little White School Museum in Oswego in June 2000 to record the bison remains on exhibit there that included a portion of a rear leg bone discovered during excavation of an ancient Indian village in Oswego, a more complete bison leg bone found in the Fox River just above the mouth of Waubonsie Creek, and a bison tooth found in the creek itself. All three were submitted to Dr. Michael Finnegan of Kansas State University for positive identification as bison remains.

In 1987, Dr. Finnegan, using a bone fluorescence technique, determined the partial leg bone was 500 to 800 years old. That, of course, placed it in Oswego centuries before the 1600 date Griffin and Wray contended marked the start of bison occupation of Illinois.

If the Oswego find had been the only one to conflict with the accepted view, it’s unlikely much would have changed. But once someone looked for it, there turned out to be lots of evidence that bison had occupied Illinois not for a short period of 200 years or so, but actually for thousands of years. In fact, a 2005 find of bison remains near Peoria with Indian-manufactured stone tools intermixed conclusively proved

bison were being successfully hunted in Illinois at least as early as 400 A.D. So if bison were in Illinois and were a food source for the state’s Native People, what accounted for the rarity of bison bones in prehistoric Indian habitation sites? According to McMillan, it turned out the lack of bison evidence was not evidence of a lack of bison.

Something scientists informally dubbed the “schlepp effect” kicks in with bison, animals too large to manually haul to a village site after killing.

Recall that the horse was not introduced to Native People until the Spanish brought them to North America, meaning heavy loads had to be moved by people power. So instead of moving dead bison to a village to be butchered, bison were butchered at kill sites and the meat, not the whole carcass, was hauled (“schlepped”) to village sites.

And in fact, numerous French accounts during the early historic period in Illinois attest to that procedure.

Bison bones left exposed on the Illinois prairie quickly deteriorate, thus was their very existence cloaked.

It appears bison reached their greatest population in Illinois during the early historic period due to factors including the decimation of Native American tribes by imported European diseases and inter-tribal warfare sparked by the fur trade, before falling prey to the introduction of firearms, European settlement, and the demand for bison hides.

Dr. McMillan’s reexamination of the puzzle of bison in Illinois (you can read all about it in “Records of Early Bison in Illinois,” R. Bruce McMillan, Editor, Illinois State Museum, Springfield, 2006) is a perfect example of how science is supposed to work. If new, provable facts are uncovered, old theories, no matter how beloved, must be discarded.

A more iconic North American animal than the bison probably doesn’t exist.

The shaggy beasts once covered the western Great Plains in their millions, and were also common on the tallgrass prairies and in the wooded savannas east of the Mississippi River. But as the study of history and archaeology became more formalized and organized, a bison problem arose here in Illinois.

The state’s Native People, particularly the member tribes and bands of the Illinois Confederacy, conducted huge bison hunts during the late 1600s that were captured in accounts by French explorers and missionaries.

But as archaeologists began truly studying Illinois’ Native American population, they became greatly puzzled by the lack of bison bones in prehistoric habitation sites.

After all, they assumed, prehistoric Indians should have made as much use of bison as did tribes during the historic period. French missionaries and explorers, starting with cartographer Louis Jolliet and Father Jacques Marquette in 1673, had reported the presence of large herds of bison, also recording the methods local tribes used to hunt and make use of the big grazing beasts.

That there were lots of bison east of the Mississippi during historic times is also confirmed by French reports of an extensive trade in bison hides. In 1704, a French tannery established near the mouth of the Ohio River reported shipping more than 12,000 bison hides down the Mississippi River to New Orleans. The combination of market hunting, severe weather, and subsistence hunting by American settlers and Native People probably resulted in the eradication of bison east of the Mississippi – the last wild bison in Illinois was reportedly killed in 1808.

So if bison were present in Illinois in substantial numbers during historic times, it seems logical their remains should have also been present during prehistoric times. But they weren’t – at least not in the archaeological sites studied starting in the last quarter of the 19th century. That led experts such as William McAdams to suggest in the late 1880s that the reason bison remains weren’t found in Illinois archaeological sites might have been because there were no bison here for ancient Native Americans to make use of.

After surveying the archaeological evidence collected during the previous several decades, John W. Griffin and

WCC will mark 50th year with special events SHAW MEDIA With the start of the 2016-17 academic year later this month, Waubonsee Community College is kicking off its 50th anniversary celebrations this month with a full slate of events and initiatives planned to honor the milestone.

The college’s focus for the anniversary will be on honoring those who’ve helped shape the college’s “Proud Past, Bold Future.”

The college was established in August 1966, when the electorate of 12 school districts in most of Kane and portions of Kendall, DeKalb, LaSalle and Will counties voted to establish Community College District 516. A naming contest held in March 1967

drew 600 entries, resulting in the current name, which means “early dawn” or “early day” and comes from a Pottawatomie Native American chief who lived in the Fox River Valley during the 1800s.

Five decades later, the college has proudly served more than 290,000 students – including 33,568 degree and certificate earners – and has grown to four campuses, as well as online offerings. Waubonsee is proud of its reputation as an innovator in the areas of accessibility, distance learning and sustainability, as well as its history of bold initiatives in partnership with the community, including the 2020 College Master Plan and Vision 2050.

The celebrations will begin on campus later this month, when new

students will be welcomed to their academic life on campus during the college’s first New Student Convocation on Aug. 25. That event will be followed by a campus-wide welcome celebration.

In September, Waubonsee will host a grand reopening of the Aurora Fox Valley Campus. That event will showcase the college’s renovated space, now home to state-of-art learning facilities for health care programs in addition to its many general education courses.

Alumni and friends of the college will be invited to attend a reunion in March to reconnect and to celebrate the achievements of the many accomplished Waubonsee alumni as well as share stories of the many college and community leaders who made this suc-

cess possible.

In addition to a number of programs and initiatives to honor the college’s many community partners, the college’s faculty, staff and students are being challenged to complete 50 hours of volunteer work this year for the 50 Hours of Caring initiative. That challenge is designed to recognize the way the college exemplifies and encourages involvement beyond its campuses and classrooms through community service, collaborative partnerships and cultural activities.

through the mud with this complaint.”

He said there are provisions in the ordinance that call for fines if the complaint is found to be frivolous.

“What is said in this complaint is spurious, it’s frivolous, and it shows that whoever prepared the complaint was, in a word, mean-spirited,” he said.

“There is no declaration in this particular complaint that says my client did anything wrong that violates your or-

dinance.”

Kinnally said the way the complaint was written was “careless, it was reckless, it was without observation of the rules.”

“He may have been well-intentioned,” he said. “I’m not here to say that he’s a bad person or anything.

What I’m saying is, is what he did is besmirch my client’s reputation. To be brought before an ethics commission

as a lawyer is probably the worse thing that can happen.”

Wilson also said Milliron knew what he was doing when he filed his complaint.

“When he wrote those complaints he knew that they didn’t comply with the ordinance,” Wilson said. “He just wanted to bring this out, I guess, to cause disrepute, if you will, to both Mr. Weis and to Mr. Toftoy.”

Tommy’s Gift is in need of support as it attempts to enhance the quality of life of eight special-needs and physically disabled residents of the Open Door Rehabilitation Center in Sandwich.

Tommy’s Gift has committed to these individuals to build a state-ofthe-art, fully accessible backyard retreat at the residence.

The design of this raised deck will significantly increase the outdoor living space and accessibility for the residents, many of whom use wheelchairs.

This will allow them the ability to freely spend time outdoors in a safe and controlled environment.

Tommy’s Gift was founded in 2012

by Tom and Kim Zimmerman as a faith-based mission of the United Methodist Church of Plano. The group’s focus is to help local families with home maintenance and repairs.

The group partners with the Open Door Rehabilitation Center in serving adults with developmental disabilities.

Many individuals have benefited from the efforts of the Open Door organization and have attained a sense of selfworth through independent living, training and employment.

SANDWICH – Time is drawing near for the 129th annual Sandwich Fair held Wednesday, Sept. 7, through Sunday, Sept.

11, at the oak-shaded Sandwich Fairgrounds on Suydam Road west of Sandwich. Â The Sandwich Fair is noted for having the most competition in many categories of all the county fairs in Illinois. Since the Sandwich Fair is the oldest and last Illinois county fair of the season, lots of blue-ribbon winners in earlier fairs bring their entries so they can be proclaimed to be the best of the best.

Whether it’s homemade cookies or jam, handmade doilies or aprons, homegrown vegetables or grains, hand-carved birds or trains, collections of antique glassware or Matchbox cars, or even goats or dairy cattle, it’s time to get busy, putting finishing touches on entries for the Sandwich Fair. Deadline for folks getting paperwork to the Sandwich Fair office for competition in all categories is 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 24. Those wishing to enter can do it the old-fashioned way, by filling out paper forms and mailing them to the Sandwich Fair Association, P.O. Box 129, Sandwich, IL 60548. They must be postmarked by 6 p.m. Aug. 24.

Online entries can be made at sandwichfair.com/exhibitor_information.html, going to “Online Entry� and following directions. Only one exhibitor per online entry; no additions or changes once entry is submitted.

For more information, persons can go on the website or call the Sandwich Fair office, weekdays, at 815-786-2159.

By PAT WALLIS news@kendallcountynow.com SANDWICH – The Sandwich City Council approved a request Monday evening by Police Chief Jim Bianchi that would allow local police to keep citations within the city rather than going to DeKalb, Kendall or LaSalle Counties for prosecution.

He said it would be best to keep prosecution of violations such as building codes, cannabis laws, fighting, and traffic infractions within the city. He claimed that sometimes it’s best to have the cause of the problem addressed, perhaps with counseling or help from others.

Chief Bianchi said he “wants to be a regional leader with the new effort

29 N. EDDY ST., SANDWICH, IL

Food Market

and will be asking if other communities want to partner with Sandwich in its efforts.”

The National Night Out held Aug. 2 in downtown Sandwich had a good showing, according to Mayor Rick Olson. The police cadets attended, there was a car show, and a 5-K run, he said.

Olson said the city and police and fire departments might consider offering a family bike ride through the city next year.

Thanked were Rosati’s for pizza, Target of Yorkville for bottled water and pop, and Plano Molding Co. and Fox Valley Older Adult Services for their contributions. Mayor Olson said nearly $1,000 from proceeds will be donated to Fox Valley Older Adult Services in Sandwich.

Sheriff’s office checks sex offender compliance SHAW MEDIA The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office hosted a multi-jurisdictional police initiative July 27 to check compliance on all registered sex offenders and registered violent offenders against youth living in Kendall County.

Investigators from many area police agencies worked together to check a combined 77 offenders. The agencies involved were the Oswego Police Department, Yorkville Police Department, Montgomery Police Department, Aurora Police Department, Plano Police Department, Joliet Police Department, Minooka Police Department, Plainfield Police Department, Kendall County Sheriff’s Office, United States Marshals in Northern Illinois, and the United States Marshals Great Lakes Task Force.

Investigators met at the sheriff’s office and received assignments for the initiative. After the operational briefing, all investigators left the sheriff’s office and started conducting compli-

ance checks.

During the checks, investigators made contact with 43 offenders and completed a verification check on each. Investigators visited 34 additional residences, but were unable to complete the verification process due to not making contact with the offender.

In total, investigators checked 77 residences in three hours.

The Sex Offender Registration Act places legal mandates on persons convicted of sex crimes. The act requires the sex offender to register a residence, employer, school, vehicles, and many other items with the police agency where they reside. The act also has stiff penalties for violations of the act.

Persons required to register as a violent offender against youths are those who have been convicted of an offense listed in Illinois Compiled Statutes 730 ILCS 154/5 when such charge results in the finding the offense was not sexually motivated. Most of these crimes are crimes against persons who are under the age of 18.

Warrant arrest County sheriff’s deputies arrested Jacquelyn A. Holmes, 20, of the 1000 block of Kate Drive, Yorkville, at her residence on Aug. 8 at 2 p.m. on a warrant for failure to appear in court on a charge of possession of drug paraphernalia.

DUI arrest County sheriff’s deputies arrested Reyes Gonzalez, 52, of the 300 block of Oakview Avenue, Aurora, after stopping his vehicle on Route 71 at Timbercreek Drive in Kendall Township on Aug. 8 at 1:32 a.m. Police said Gonzalez was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.

‘Runnin’ red again’: Emergency vehicles from the past on display

he’s only allotted a certain amount of pitches?

Those fantastic postseason relief appearances by a pitcher who threw a few days earlier will pretty much be over.

How many mid-at-bat pitch changes will we see? Usually you never see this, but with such a rule it’ll become common.

In a sport that has tried so hard – well, they claim they have – to speed up the game, this will undoubtedly slow it down.

If you’re a hitter facing a great pitcher and you come up to bat and know that he only has seven more pitches left before he has to be removed, that totally changes how you approach that at-bat, especially if it’s a long one.

You might be able to fight off a few pitches and before you know it, he’s got to come out of the game and you may face a less talented pitcher. Imagine being a pitcher and you’ve got a shutout going and with two outs in the top of the seventh you have to be removed because you’ve hit your pitch count. How aggravating will that be?

I suppose the good thing is that pitchers will look at wasting less pitches. While pitchers always are aiming for first-pitch strikes, they’ll be looking to do that even more.

I’ll be looking to call them, but I better not be asked to count them.

Plenty of questions about pitch-count rule It was only a matter of time.

Beginning next spring, Illinois high school pitchers will have to adhere to a pitch-count policy.

The National Federation of State High School Associations made that announcement recently, but the specifics for how the rule will be implemented has yet to be determined by the Illinois High School Sports Association.

What I’m most curious about is who is going to keep track of the pitches, especially since coaches and players often ask us umpires repeatedly what the count is during at-bats. If they can’t keep track of a single at-bat, how are they going to correctly count the number of pitches thrown in a game?

I don’t think the IHSA will dump this responsibility on umpires, but we’ll be accountable for ensuring that teams are following it. Then again,

QUILL THE UMPIRE Chris Rollin Walker since it’s the IHSA, I wouldn’t be surprised if they asked us to somehow do it. Good luck with that, especially for the guys umpiring solo.

While I don’t think the IHSA will hire someone such as The Count from Sesame Street or other related wannabes who would bark out the number of the pitches thrown and then a hiss of “Ah, Ah, Ah!,” I am rather curious to see how both sides will keep track of the pitches in an official manner.

I’m also interested in finding out what will count as an official pitch.

Some of my colleagues who have umpired in other states tell me that warmup pitches do not count toward

the total, which makes sense, especially since you have no idea what’s being done in the bullpen in pregame or during a game.

Of course, it’s pretty silly to have a rule established to protect a pitcher’s arm without truly documenting how many pitches he’s throwing. Just because a pitch might not be live in a game, are you telling me that the warmups he’s throwing aren’t wearing on his arm, too?

Or how about when a batter is awarded time and the pitcher still proceeds to pitch the ball. That probably won’t count toward the pitch-count total in the new policy but it obviously affects the arm, and in most cases even more so because there’s often situations where the pitcher stops in mid-movement home before regenerating and firing that way.

Regardless, I’ll be interested in find-

ing out more about what the rule will be once we commence playing again in chilly March 2017.

Like I said, I’m pretty sure us umpires won’t be asked to keep track. If we were, that would be ridiculous. We have enough responsibilities to begin with that an added one such as this would be silly.

Still, the impact this will have on the game is going to be enormous. It may protect some kids from future Tommy John surgeries and other related procedures, but the medical science still hasn’t been perfected with regard to what pitch counts are healthy and which aren’t.

How often will we see coaches having players work counts to make a pitcher work extra hard, especially when facing the ace and knowing that
