Measure has road officials breathing a sigh of relief Lack of budget could have shut down Eldamain Rd. work

By TONY SCOTT tscott@kendallcountynow.com State lawmakers’ approval of a stopgap budget measure has officials throughout the county breathing a collective sigh of relief, as it was possible that some major road projects would have been stalled had the measure failed.

The Illinois Department of Transportation this month told state contractors that if a budget was not approved

by July 1, the start of the state’s fiscal year, all road projects would come to a halt. Gov. Bruce Rauner and legislators negotiated all day June 29 and June 30 on a variety of budget issues, including IDOT funding.

“We have a standing directive from IDOT that all federally-funded projects will be shut down,” Fran Klaas, Kendall County Highway Engineer, said last week. “The way the money comes through Illinois, it goes through their state budget so essentially anything with federal money in it is shut down.

So any work on a state highway is done as of Friday, unless something breaks loose in Springfield.”

On July 1, Klaas said the approval

“I think it was a necessary piece of legislation and had to be passed to avoid really disastrous consequences for the state. But it still doesn’t address the root problems of the budget, and when you talk about social service agencies, a lot of the damage has already been done.”

Plano Mayor Bob Hausler of stopgap funding means officials are heaving a “big sigh of relief.”

“All projects can now move forward uninterrupted … at least until the end of the year,” he said.

Projects funded with county motor fuel tax and transportation sales tax were not impacted, Klaas said. The only federally-funded project that is ongoing right now is Eldamain Road from the Menards Distribution Center north to Galena Road, he said.

In Oswego, where contractors are in the midst of working on Ill. Route 71, such a stoppage would have halted

that project and could have also affected the project to widen U.S. Route 34 between Orchard Road in Oswego and Ill. Route 47 in Yorkville, according to Oswego Public Works Director Jennifer Hughes. Hughes also said she was relieved that the stopgap budget was approved so as not to interrupt projects.

Montgomery Public Works Director Todd Hoppenstedt said while projects in the village would not have been directly affected by the shutdown, a stopgap will help local agencies.

Yorkville City Administrator Bart Olson said the funding is “a relief.”

“It provides funding for the Route 34 expansion and Route 71 expansion to continue forward and has full funding for municipal revenues,” he said.

Plano Mayor Bob Hausler said he is concerned that the stopgap measure did not address the root of the state’s financial problems.

“I think it was a necessary piece of legislation and had to be passed to avoid really disastrous consequences for the state,” he said. “But it still doesn’t address the root problems of the budget, and when you talk about social service agencies, a lot of the damage has already been done.”

Budget fix getting mixed reviews Batinick says measure ‘keeps us out of hell’

By TONY SCOTT tscott@kendallcountynow.com

State Local state legislators gave mixed Rep. Mark reviews to the stopgap budget approved Batinick R-Plainfield by the General Assembly on June 30.

Lawmakers adopted the $50.6 billion budget measure on the deadline of the state’s fiscal year, which began July 1.

The plan includes funding for K-12 and higher education, transportation and infrastructure projects and human services programs.

State Rep. Mark Batinick, R-Plainfield, said he wasn’t happy with the stopgap budget, but that the alternative would have been worse.

“It keeps us in purgatory but it keeps us out of hell,” he said. “There

is something to hate about every one of those bills, but the alternative would have been much worse if some of that stuff didn’t pass.”

State Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, D-Oswego, said she was glad that funding was approved for schools, human services and road projects, but was disappointed that the state still does not have a full-year budget.

“While I am pleased we were able to provide emergency funding to agencies and organizations, I am frustrated

Illinois still does not have a complete, balanced and responsible full-year budget,” he said. “I encourage the legislative leaders and the governor to continue working towards a balanced and responsible full-year budget.”

State Sen. Linda Holmes, D-Aurora, said the stopgap budget “produced very mixed feelings for many of us.”

“This stopgap measure is not ideal, and it’s going to be small comfort to

Continued from page 2 college students who couldn’t go back to school because of a lack of MAP grants, or the social services that laid off staff or closed their doors because the state simply didn’t pay them for the humanitarian work they did,” she said. “Yet, once Gov. Rauner laid aside an unpopular, unrelated agenda and negotiated a compromise in good faith, we were able to ensure our schools and universities stay open, adequate funding will be provided to IMSA, our most vulnerable citizens are cared for, and much-needed construction projects won’t see costly interruptions.”

Holmes added, “Let’s do as our friends and neighbors have demanded, and set aside ego to keep seeking compromise as we move forward.”

State Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Peru, said she was “ecstatic” to vote for the stopgap measure.

“It is beyond refreshing to have finally reached a bipartisan compromise

on this issue,” she said. “This was one of the most important ‘yes’ votes I have cast while representing the 38th Senate District.”

State Sen. Jim Oberweis, R-Sugar Grove, praised the legislation as something the state needed immediately.

“We worked for nearly a year to pass a balanced budget and meaningful economic reforms to expand job opportunities, fix a corrupt political system and mend a failing state economy. The stop-gap budget passed June 30 is not what our state needs long-term, but it does provide what we need right now.

It provides a temporary resolution to the impasse,” Oberweis said.

State Rep. Keith Wheeler, R-Oswego, said the stopgap measure “isn’t perfect or complete.”

“It is the product of a negotiated, bipartisan compromise,” he said. “Ultimately, there will be critical discussions this fall that will address needed reforms to grow the Illinois economy and to create jobs to reduce Illinois’ unemployment rate, which is currently the highest in the nation.”

“end up in the black next year.”

However, like Garcia, Mehanti lamented the state’s funding formula, which relies heavily on property tax revenue to fund local schools.

“It’s a blessing to our district, however, there are still issues with the funding formula,” he said.

Mehanti said the state should have been funding school districts fully for the past four years.

“This is something we should have gotten to begin with – 100 percent funding – because we lost around $21 million in the proration,” he said. “Now, this year we’re receiving 100 percent funding, which we should have gotten anyway, every year.”

Garcia said he supported the legislature’s action but that there is more to do.

“It’s welcome and I’m glad they were able to resolve it; the alternative was going to be much worse,” he said.

“There’s still some work to be done down in Springfield.”

BRIEFS Fireworks suspected in Oswego Township house fire

Fireworks were the possible cause of a fire at a home in the 100 block of Laurie Lane in unincorporated Oswego Township early Tuesday, according to the Oswego Fire Protection District.

Fire district firefighters were summoned to the blaze at approximately 12:04 a.m.

The fire was confined to the rear exterior of the home, according to the fire district.

Prior to the arrival of firefighters, all occupants had been safely evacuated from the home and a neighbor used a garden hose in an effort to extinguish the fire.

Upon arriving at the scene, firefighters used approximately 10 gallons of water from an extinguisher to douse the fire.

Damage to the home was estimated at $10,000, according to the fire

Local school district officials are happy that the state legislature approved full appropriations for education following budget talks last week, but some say it doesn’t fix the underlying problem with school funding.

Dr. Hector Garcia, superintendent with Plano School District 88, said he appreciates the district’s approximately $250,000 in increased state funding.

However, he said the state hasn’t fully funded school district appropriations in the four years that he has been superintendent.

“For school districts like ours, it’s truly playing catch-up on a few

issues,” he said. “So this money is welcome, at the same time we’ve been doing a great deal with a lot less every year.”

Garcia said the funding is based on a model that needs improvement.

“When we talk about fully funding it, it’s taking a step in the right direction,” he said. “It is not, by any means, resolving the issue.”

Dr. Hector Kristine Liptrot, diGarcia rector of communications and community engagement for Yorkville District 115, said the news was “extremely positive for us.” That district is set to receive approximately $4.6 million in new funding.

“Just being fully funded for the first time in years is wonderful and will do great things for our students, but on top of that being fully funded, there was also the equity grant. And out of that equity grant, our portion is $83,000. So we will have an extra $83,000 on top of being fully funded, so it’s tremendous for us.”

However, Dean Romano, chief operations officer for District 115, said the district is being “cautiously optimistic” when budgeting for state fund payments.

“While we anticipate to receive more in general state aid and state funding, we’re going to be cautiously optimistic with regards to how we actually expect the appropriations to come to us,” he said.

Ali Mehanti, assistant superintendent for business and operations for District 308, said the district is facing a $6 million budget deficit and the approximately $4 million the district is set to receive should help the district

Reassuring steps at food pantry “A dark time.” Those were the words that Jeff Young, acting director and chairman of the Kendall County Food Pantry’s governing board, used to describe the past several weeks for the pantry, its supporters, its many volunteers and patrons.

As we reported, the Yorkville police department is continuing its investigation regarding “suspicious transactions and possible theft of funds” from the pantry accounts that began in late May. Police Chief Rich Hart has said the results of the investigation may go before a grand jury later this month.

Meanwhile, the pantry’s former longtime director and board chairman, Maria Spaeth, was found dead in her Lake Holiday vacation home June 21. She and her husband, Ken, the food pantry’s treasurer, resigned from their respective positions June 7, after the Yorkville police had begun their

investigation.

In a statement, Young said the news of the police investigation and the Spaeths’ resignations were “both hard to swallow and a complete surprise, was devastating to the other pantry volunteers, our clients and Kendall County community as a whole.” Young acknowledged the departure and subsequent death of Maria Spaeth thrust the pantry “into a darkness fueled by fear, speculation and a demand for answers.”

Nevertheless, we’re encouraged that Young, the remaining pantry board of directors and its volunteers have kept the pantry’s doors open at 208 Beaver St. in Yorkville to serve the many of our county in need.

Importantly, according to Young, the pantry board is confident the impropriety alleged in the police investigation is “isolated to two individuals who are no longer affiliated with the pantry in any

way” and the board has promised to put safeguards in place “to prevent any similar breach of trust from ever happening again.”

Young’s words are reassuring to us and should be to the thousands of county residents who have supported the pantry and volunteered their time there over the years. In order for the pantry to operate, it must enjoy the full trust and confidence of the community it serves. To rebuild that trust and confidence, the public needs to know that their donations of money, food and other items are indeed going to the members of our community who need it the most.

We believe the board has taken the first steps toward doing just that. For the thousands of individuals and families that rely on the pantry for meals, school supplies and other assistance, it is of vital importance that the board succeeds.

Who was R.E. Lincoln? Plano natives may know If you do any reading about the early 1900s in Plano, either here, or almost any place else that covers events and places in Plano from 1900 on ... you’ve read about R.E. Lincoln.

But chances are that few of you have seen a photograph of one of Plano’s early photographers.

Royal Edgar Lincoln was a busy man, who was raised by Royal Or-

VIEWS Kristy Lawrie Gravlin lando and Rebecca (Cook) Lincoln on Sandy Bluff Road, north of the highway. They raised six children on their farm: Amer Jess, Mary Effie, John

Henry (Sr.), Royal Edgar, Alfred Cook and Lemuel Foster.

1. Amer Jess was named after Rebecca’s father, Amer Brewer Cook II, although I cannot think who “Jess” was to get that honor. Perhaps he lived in Monmouth County, New Jersey, where both Amer II and his wife, Mary Ann (Page) Cook, lived nearly all of their lives as youngsters.

Rebecca grew up on the Plano farm that her parents homesteaded. It is still there – a red brick home with yellow barns. They’ve been painted yellow for at least 75 years. Look north when you are at the stoplight on Little Rock Road and the highway ... there it is. Sadly, Amer Jess died at age 26.

Continued from page 5 The story I’ve heard is that he had the measles, and was all but recovered when a friend came over. Probably to get some privacy, they went out the bedroom window and sat on the roof to talk. In the process he took a chill, and pneumonia developed. In 15 days he passed away.

2. Mary Effie, their only girl, was born in 1852. She married in 1883, at age 26, to Franklin Ellsworth Marley.

He was from Red Oak, in the far southwest corner of Iowa, and was interested in becoming a newspaper man. In fact, he was working at the Red Oak Express when he was 11 years old and still attending grade school. He attended the Jennings Seminary in Aurora, a well-regarded educational institution in our area. By 1888 he had become the editor and writer for the Kendall County News, and Effie was a supporter in his tasks. By 1891 he was also the owner and publisher of the Sandwich Free Press. His oldest brother, Judson Moses, was also working with him.

Only a year later an opportunity arose and Frank purchased the Batavia Herald newspaper. Frank and Effie moved to Batavia and they both went to work ... Frank at the newspaper, of course, and Effie as the owner of the Music Conservatory and Performance School she started there.

On June 7, 1913, their divorce became final. Among the papers in that file is a full-page letter written

by Rebecca Cook (her mother) telling how sweet and wonderful her daughter was and so it all had to be Frank’s fault. Her father, R.O., saw to it that all of his children received advanced education in the field of their choice.

Effie studied elocution and music, and then began a music conservatory in Batavia, which she ran for nearly 30 years. I’ve heard that she appeared on stage in costume and wearing... lipstick and rouge.

She is one of the most interesting of her generation... and remained a support to her mother until Effie died in February of 1916 of pneumonia.

By the time the last children were in the household, R.E. was not feeling consistently well enough to take many photos, so there are fewer in the family album. He died of a heart attack, I think, when he was 70 years old, on Nov. 7, 1935. Grandma lived until 1956 when she died at 81.

During that time she spent her days with various ones of the children, depending mostly on who had room and a schedule that would permit them to take care of her. She was quite frail near the end but she was not difficult to have in the house, unless she helped out by putting some things away for you. Of course it often took a while to find them again.

Those of you who knew Alan, knew pretty well what R.E. looked like. I’m always surprised when I see a photo of R.E. to see how much his third son looked like him. All of the siblings are gone now. And five of the 21 cousins have passed away.

But the next generation after that has so many I cannot be sure I can count them right. We know each other and enjoy times when we can be together. And although our children are grown, we are enjoying the next generation even if we don’t get to see them often because we are spread all over now.

We’re here to provide you and your vehicle with the honest, expert service you deserve.

Sandwich City Council OKs keeping chickens Mayor casts a vote to break tie on issue

By PAT WALLIS news@kendallcountynow.com SANDWICH – Backyard chickens will be allowed in Sandwich following action taken at the June 28 Sandwich City Council meeting.

Before the matter was brought to a vote, one individual spoke for her mother, saying her mother and several other older residents she named were opposed to having chickens in town because “they are noisy, attract vermin, and if they are allowed, would it next be turkeys and ducks?”

A group of residents who asked that the city allow chickens about a month ago have regularly been attending council meetings. They’ve stressed

that they prefer raising their own food and getting eggs from their own chickens. Other benefits for both children and adults were mentioned.

Those voting against allowing backyard chickens were Aldermen Dave Fraser, Cara Killey and Les Redden.

Those voting for the issue were Aldermen Bill McMahon, Rich Robinson and Doug Schiedecker.

Mayor Rick Olson broke the tie by voting “yes.” The vote was followed by applause from the local group.

It’s been pointed out by the group that wants backyard chickens that only hens would be allowed, not roosters because of their early morning crowing.

The number of birds could be limited to just a few, maybe eight to 12, and the coops, fences and care of the chickens would be tightly regulated by the ordinance written and approved by the council.

Kendall County sheriff’s deputies issued a littering citation, a Class B misdemeanor, to Eugene Brock, 55, of Aurora, June 22 following an investigation that involved personnel from the Bristol Township Highway Department, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the Kendall County building and zoning department.

Police said they started the investigation April 19 after taking a report of garbage being dumped in a creek on East Beecher Road south of Galena Road in Bristol Township.

Bristol Township Highway Depart-

ment employees reported on three separate dates having to clean up black plastic trash bags containing household garbage which had been dumped in the creek, according to police.

Police said the items dumped included pieces of mail, license plates, used motor oil and a used oil filter. The creek where the garbage was dumped feeds into the Rob Roy Creek, which flows into the Fox River.

During the investigation, it was reported that more household garbage including pieces of mail had been dumped in the same creek.

Police said Brock is scheduled to appear in court on the charge July 14.

SPORTS CHICAGO SUBURBAN BASEBALL LEAGUE: OSWEGO CATS 4, CRESTWOOD PANTHERS 3 (11 INN.)

LATE-INNING HEROICS

‘We kept fighting’: Wild pitch allows Cats’ go-ahead run to score

By LAURA M. MEDINA sports@kendallcountynow.com A wild-pitch offense might not always be the ideal game strategy, but it worked for the Oswego Cats, as an errant toss allowed the winning run to score in the 11th inning against the Crestwood Panthers on June 30 at Jackie’s Field of Dreams in Oswego.

Oswego (13-11, 6-9 Chicago Suburban Baseball League) won its second straight after losing five in a row and wrapped up a stretch in which the team split 12 games by celebrating after left fielder Jeff Woods came home on the wayward throw during Clark Brinkman’s at-bat for the 4-3 victory.

“With a runner on third, you’ve always gotta have your guy aware of what’s going on and ready, and hopefully, you get a fortunate break like that, and that one was more fortuitous than I would have expected; it worked out,” Cats field manager Todd Miller said.

“In a situation like that, the important guy is the leadoff guy, and Jeff got on, and then we got the bounce over to second. I was hoping maybe that [catcher] Mike Cherven [2-for-5] would come through, and he got the ground ball and kept us out of a double play. It wasn’t Clark’s best night, but those are the guys you want in that situation.”

The late-inning heroics were essential against Crestwood starter Danny Guido, who was tough from the outset.

The right-hander made quick work of the first five batters he faced, but he allowed shortstop Chris Saltijeral (2for-4, RBI) a two-out triple that scored Sandwich alum Woods (3-for-5, two runs) in the bottom of the second.

The Panthers, though, earned two back in the third off of Cats righthander Andrew Bruss and added another off of him in the fifth to jump ahead 3-1.

Oswego wouldn’t trail for long, getting a spark in the sixth from first baseman Michael Fidler’s two-run home run over the left-field fence to knot the score.

“It moved really quickly there for a few innings, but we weren’t putting the ball in play,” Miller said. “We definitely struggled, and we had a tough time catching up to [Guido].

Eric Miller - emiller@shawmedia.com

Oswego Cats’ Jeff Woods watches his ball sail foul in the first inning June 30. Woods, a Plano resident and Sandwich alum, eventually scored the game-winning run off a wild pitch in the bottom of the 11th inning.

“They went up 3-1, and we were hoping we could battle back here, and we just weren’t getting anything going. Then with the strikeouts [10 before the homer], that just didn’t help, but we got a big boost there, and that helped us out.”

It also helped that Bruss was able to pitch himself out of a few jams on his end. He gave up six hits, walked three and fanned four in 6 1⁄3 innings before giving way to left-hander Andy Grunewald, who was stellar in relief against the non-CSBL Panthers.

“Andrew Bruss did a really good job,” Miller said. “He got into some situations, but he got himself out of them.

Andy, too, came in, and he threw the ball very well. He was pounding the strike zone, and he had [six] strikeouts in a row at one point. He’s done very well for us.”

In fact, Grunewald fanned eight total – six straight over the eighth and ninth – and surrendered two hits in 4 2⁄3 frames.

“I think that’s the most strikeouts I’ve had in an outing,” Grunewald said. “I’m not a strikeout guy, but I was finding the zone.”

Oswego had other offensive chances in the seventh, eighth, and ninth, but it wasn’t able to solve Crestwood’s pitching, much like the Panthers were

unable to get to Bruss or Grunewald in that same stretch.

The timely hit in the 11th, however, allowed the Cats to revel in a comeback win, something that could bode well for them when they return to the diamond in July, a month rife with tough CSBL competition.

“It’s a morale-builder, especially facing that guy we faced, to claw your way back and then take the win,” Miller said. “I mean, the way we were hitting, we could have just rolled over.

We didn’t, we kept fighting, we kept getting base-runners, and I told our guys that’s what we need to do, just a little at a time.”
