Pay increases approved for two Forest Preserve staffers

By TONY SCOTT tscott@kendallcountynow.com Kendall County officials have approved pay raises for a pair of Forest Preserve District staffers.

The Kendall County Forest Preserve District Commission, which shares membership with the County Board, approved a $2,000 annual salary pay raise for Jay Teckenbrock, grounds supervisor at Hoover Forest Preserve, as well as a proposed raise from $14 to $15.50 an hour for Ellis House and Equestrian Center Farm Manager Marty Vick. Forest Preserve Director David Guritz recommended the pay raises.

The commission’s votes came during a July 5 meeting in Yorkville.

On the Teckenbrock issue, Commission President Jeff Wehrli and members Scott Gryder, Matt Prochaska, Elizabeth Flowers, Dan Koukol and Lynn Cullick voted for the pay raise, while John Purcell, Bob Davidson and Judy Gilmour voted against it. On the raise for Vick, Prochaska, Flowers, Cullick, Gilmour and Wehrli voted for it but Gryder, Davidson, Purcell and Koukol voted against it.

Guritz said that the salary raise for Teckenbrock was to provide incentive to him to continue to work for the district.

Also, the county will need to increase his salary starting Dec. 1 to comply with new Department of Labor requirements related to overtime-­

BRIEF Sheriff’s office seeks info on Bristol BB gun damage

The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office is seeking information regarding criminal damage to property that occurred in the 0 to 100 block of North Cannonball Trail, Bristol.

On July 6, between 9:30 p.m. and 10 p.m., two vehicles parked in the driveway of a residence had their windows damaged by someone shooting a BB gun. The sheriff’s office report number is 2016-2108.

Anyone with information on this or other crimes is urged to call Kendall County Crime Stoppers at 630-553-5999. Callers remain anonymous and are eligible for a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to the arrest of the offenders.

exempt employees, Guritz explained.

The commission also unanimously approved a new job description for Teckenbrock’s position that includes expanded responsibilities.

Guritz said the district has cut staff and has not filled a part-time office position.

“We’re spread pretty thin – few and far between,” he said.

Wehrli said Vick has taken on additional responsibilities “and we’d like to compensate him for his additional responsibilities.”

“As we get to the next budget season in the next couple months, we’re gonna take a look at everybody and make sure we can do this financially for the future,” Wehrli said.

Guritz said Vick’s position is a “tough job.”

“It takes the right individual who has the right temperament to be able to do an effective job down there,” he said. “We have that and I don’t want to lose that, and I also want to see that individual awarded or rewarded for

his efforts.”

Guritz said Vick looks for savings in the budget, and is engaging the public and trying to draw in more revenue.

“You have someone down there who gets it, who understands the budget goals,” Guritz said. “Don’t lose that because we wanna save a buck.”

Purcell said he was opposed to the pay increases, although Vick is taking on more responsibilities.

“I’m asked to give him more money because you weren’t able to staff properly?” Purcell said.

“I think the answer is, we’re looking at this as part of that picture,” Guritz said. “When you’re down a person and a half, I don’t care what department you’re in, whether it’s a hardware store or anywhere else, someone else is having to work harder to cover for that [position]. Somebody has to stay late, somebody has to handle all the phone calls, somebody has to work with the public, and has to be around that 24/7.”

County applies for federal money to offset costs

Mike Neuenkirchen, KAT program director, said officials are seeking $194,000 in federal funds to help run the transit program in fiscal 2017.

By TONY SCOTT tscott@kendallcountynow.com The Kendall County Board voted unanimously July 5 to apply for federal money to help offset the county’s expenses to operate the Kendall Area Transit program.

County Administrator Jeff Wilkins explained that the 5310 federal grant program is administered through the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA).

“These are mainly dollars to help the disabled and the elderly,” he said.

KAT is Kendall County’s public transit service.

According to a memo from Mike Neuenkirchen, KAT program director, officials are seeking $194,000 per year for fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018.

Eric Miller file photo emiller@shawmedia. com

“The grant offers transit operators in the RTA region the ability to receive reimbursement for the costs involved in providing transportation for seniors and individuals who are disabled,” Neuenkirchen wrote.

“Securing these dollars for Kendall Area Transit is crucial at this time. Additional federal funding through the RTA reduces KAT’s reliance on state of Illinois funding during this period of budget instability. Further, additional revenues from multiple sources allow the KAT program to expand

services to those who are most in need in our county.”

Wilkins said the federal government has cut the local match percentages in half compared to previous years.

The county will have to come up with 17.5 percent and the state will need to provide 32.5 percent of the grant total, which means the federal government will pick up half of the operating expenses, he said.

“It really does help the local taxpayer and allows us to leverage more operating dollars,” he said.

The Kendall County highway engineer told the County Board on July 5 that a bridge over a creek on Fox Road just west of Poplar Drive will need to be replaced due to a federal mandate.

Fran Klaas said the 18.5-foot bridge is regulated by the federal bridge inspection system and IDOT, and that the state has recently declared the weight limit to be half of other county bridges.

Klaas said the re-evaluation of the bridge is part of a recent federal mandate to agencies to take a look at older bridges for structural integrity.

The bridge was built in 1958 and widened in 1981, Klaas said.

“There is not a single bridge in our entire county highway system that is currently posted for anything less than legal load, which is 80,000 pounds; this will take it from 80,000 pounds to 40,000 pounds,” he said. “That’s a big deal. A garbage truck legally won’t be able to cross this bridge.”

Klaas acknowledged that the bridge is 58 years old and “near the end of its useful life, but it’s in pretty good shape and I don’t think it would fall down.”

“But I don’t get to make that decision,” he added.

Klaas said the department has a consultant looking at alternatives to closing the road, including sliding a new box culvert under the existing bridge. He said he would bring those options back to the board’s Highway Committee this month.

Klaas said replacing the bridge would cost in the neighborhood of $200,000.

County Board member John Purcell asked what would happen if the county didn’t post the new weight limit.

“I don’t think we have an option,” Klaas responded. “If something were to happen to that bridge, and we had a directive from the department to post it and we didn’t post it, and it collapsed, that would be willful and wanton, and we’d be going to jail probably.”

FORUM LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Will you be informed?

To the Editor: Now that the Fourth of July is in the past for this year, it might be good to look back and ponder what it really meant. Besides the fireworks, parades, picnics and games, we must remember that it is a celebration of the signing of our Declaration of Independence. You are likely thinking, “Duh!” but it’s fitting to remember what the Declaration really meant.

Benjamin Rush, one of the 56 signers, in speaking about “religion” and its purpose, said this, “Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty, and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments. Without religion, I believe that learning does real mischief to the morals and principles of mankind.”

According to my friend Pat, who had done some research which I use here, she said almost half of the signers had gone to seminary… yes, religious seminary. When they signed the Declaration, they put their lives, their families’ lives, and their livelihoods on the line. They are numbered among the patriots we remember because

they counted the cost and still stood up.

In a speech in 1798, John Adams had this warning about our Constitution, “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. … Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

These two documents formed a cornerstone of the liberties and freedoms we enjoy today. But since their signing, many have been busy chiseling away at those rights we have come to take for granted.

In our own self-interest, we have elevated special groups of people and granted them rights that trample on the rights of other groups of people. We have called for tolerance of views leading us to the gross intolerance of other views that might be in opposition.

Leaders today, including our president and both houses of Congress, are busy arguing over those rights. No one cares what the Declaration or Constitution says.

Thomas Jefferson said this though, “If we are to guard against ignorance and remain free, it is the responsibility of every Amer-

REFLECTIONS Roger Matile way of life. The area surrounding the mounds near East St. Louis was occupied by as many as 20,000 Indian inhabitants in a series of communities that spread out from the main 4,000acre Cahokia mound complex. Food to support this huge concentration of ancient Illinoisians came from the river bottom land surrounding the area and from colonies established throughout the Mississippi and Ohio River valleys. One such colony, from evidence found at the site, was located at Maramech Hill, and there were probably many others in the Fox Valley as well.

The Mississippian Cultural tradition suddenly died out about 1650 A.D. for reasons still not clearly understood. By the time the first Europeans arrived in northern Illinois in 1673, the Mississippian culture had disappeared.

When those first French explorers arrived in Northern Illinois in 1673, the Fox Valley was not occupied on a permanent basis, but was used as a hunting ground by a number of tribes, primarily those of the affiliated tribes of the Illinois Confederacy.

Although the Illinois Indians were friendly to the French, other tribes were not. In the early 1700s, a conflict between a tribe living in southern

Wisconsin and French colonial traders broke into open war.

The Fox Indian Tribe and the French were at constant odds throughout the first third of the 18th century.

The dispute, which centered around control of trade, became so hot that the Fox forced the French to stop using the Fox–Wisconsin River route between the Mississippi and Lake Michigan and the Chicago portage as well.

In 1730, the French, becoming fed up with the Foxes’ attitude and actions, gathered several hundred of their Indian allies and nearly exterminated the Fox Tribe in a battle that occurred somewhere in Illinois. The battle began as a siege in August of 1730 when the Fox Tribe was surrounded on a low hill and forced to dig entrenchments (Fox holes?) by the French and their allies. During a violent nighttime storm, the Fox attempted to flee, but were caught the next day by the allied army and nearly exterminated.

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, John Steward of Plano decided Maramech Hill was the site of this climactic battle and set out to find information to prove his contention. Steward even published a book that he felt proved his point. However, later scholarship, from Stanley Faye’s analysis of the topic in 1935 to a definitive map located in French archives and published in the Autumn 1980 Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society (pp.

201-213), has conclusively disproved Steward’s contention, interesting

though it remains.

But while Maramech Hill was not the site of the great French-Fox battle, it is none the less an important historical site. In various maps drawn prior to and after the War of 1812 by U.S. Indian agents, the area of Maramech Hill is shown to be the site of important Potowatomi Indian villages. Main Poche, an influential Potowatomi chief who was hostile to Americans during the War of 1812, is known to have had a village with 100 warriors located on the Fox River, possibly at Maramech Hill.

Many of the artifacts found at Maramech Hill and described by Steward in his 1903 book, “Lost Maramech and Earliest Chicago,” especially trade silver items, appear to be, at least from Steward’s own descriptions, from the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

These artifacts and others that may be found in the future may bolster the case for the site being Main Poche’s village – only archaeologists will be able to tell for sure.

Given its historical value, it was important that this site be preserved, not to mention its value as a natural area. Fortunately, the county board has realized this, as does the Kendall County Forest Preserve District.

Thanks to them, all of us can visit and enjoy this historic remnant of Kendall County’s distant past.

Personalized approach best for returning vets Seventy-two years after its inception, the GI Bill is still going strong at colleges across the nation. But while the GI Bill might help veterans get their foot in the door toward a degree in higher education, it’s up to colleges and universities to implement services for veterans to ensure that the transition from service to our country to scholarly pursuits goes smoothly.

At Waubonsee Community College, offering personalized service to veterans is just one way we thank our veterans for all they’ve sacrificed for our freedom.

Originally passed as the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the updated federal veteran’s education law, now known as the Post-9/11 GI Bill, is the largest investment in veteran’s education since World War II. Paying in-state tuition rates and providing a living allowance and a stipend towards books and supplies has resulted in more than 1.5 million military veterans and their families using

WAUBONSEE VOICES Heather Watson this benefit in pursuit of post-secondary education and career training.

Veterans who have served at least 90 days of active service after Sept. 11, 2001, or who have served 30 days and were discharged due to a service-connected injury or illness may also be eligible to transfer their earned benefit to their families.

Student veterans are a diverse population with leadership skills, global experience, discipline and focus who add tremendous value to the classroom. However, it’s no secret that the transition from military life to college life can be challenging for student veterans. Here at Waubonsee, we pride ourselves on our “one stop” personalized services that help to smooth this transition. We have a streamlined admissions process, a strong academic

support system and close partnerships with community resources to ensure the success of our student veterans.

All veterans who are interested in pursuing a degree or certificate at Waubonsee begin by meeting with me, the transfer/veterans adviser. I provide an individualized orientation that covers such topics as: applying for education benefits, completing admissions paperwork, transferring prior college credit and credit awarded for military experience, academic planning, registration for classes, and discussing college and community resources. Two financial aid advisers/ Veterans Administration school certifying officials assist with the financial aid application process and any VA billing or payment issues a student may encounter.

Maramech Hill, near Plano, is one of Kendall County’s most important historic sites. Fortunately for all of us, the Kendall County Board, in conjunction with the Illinois Nature Conservancy, has made sure the historic hill and its environs will be kept in their natural state for future generations by officially designating the area as a nature preserve.

The history of human occupation at Maramech Hill goes back to a time when giant Ice Age mammals roamed the area. Considered a good camping or village site almost from the time the first humans arrived in the area, the hill served as a place of residence and refuge for Indians in the Fox Valley for thousands of years.

In the mid-1970s, when the new bridge was built across the Fox River close to Maramech Hill near Silver Springs State Park, bushels of pottery fragments were unearthed. Those fragments were the remains of thousands of pieces of pottery manufactured by members of the Mississippian Culture, which occupied the Maramech Hill area a thousand years ago or so.

The Mississippians were the cultural group responsible for building the extensive series of mounds near East St. Louis along the Mississippi River. Monk’s Mound, towering 100 feet in height and covering 16 acres at its base, is, in fact, the largest earthen structure in the New World.

It is clear that to build such giant structures, the Mississippians had to have a very efficient and organized

the military structure can be a daunting task. Waubonsee offers services to address these challenges. Where relevant, we can refer them to accommodations and support through the Access Center for Disability Resources.

We also have other services to assist first-generation students succeed in college through academic planning, individualized tutoring, financial aid and scholarship information, transfer options and guidance with life skills.

Academic assistance is also offered at no cost through the Tutoring Center/ Skills Lab. For those who are seeking employment, our Career Development Center can help convert military experience into skills needed for civilian employment.

Involvement in campus organizations can enhance student success by aiding as a support network. Being around peers with similar experiences is comforting, and joining the Waubonsee Veterans Club provides a comradeship many miss after leaving the military. Through the annual Veterans Day Observance Ceremony, community service projects, social activities and monthly meetings, members continue to serve their community while working as a team to connect with fellow student veterans.

Plano School District 88 is expected to hold flat the overall cost of administrative salaries from last year by reducing the salary range of two key positions, according to Superintendent Dr. Hector Garcia.

“While most administrators in the district will receive a 3.5 percent salary increase, the assistant superintendent position and the conversion from an assistant principal to a dean’s position at the high school will avoid an overall increase from the previous year,” Garcia said.

Garcia said the new salaries are included in district’s new budget.

The new salaries are Edgar Palacios, director of ELA services and assessments, $90,365; Tony Baker, Emily G. Johns principal, $100,731; Kevin Swann, Emily G. Johns assistant principal, $69,345; Abby Alvarez, principal at Centennial, $81,690; Mark Heller, principal at Plano Middle School, $102,612; Michael Zeman, assistant principal at Plano Middle School, $69,511; Eric Benson, principal at Plano High School,

$109,858; Laurel Mateyka, assistant principal at Plano High School, $84,828; Krystal Rasmussen, assistant principal at Plano High School, $71,415; and Jim Schmidt, district athletic director, $91,250.

Garcia also noted that Terri Hanrahan, director for teaching and learning, resigned so she could move to be closer to her family. Her position is expected to be filled before the start of the 2016-17 school year.

Also, the appointment of Laurel Mateyka from high school assistant principal to principal at P.H. Miller will leave a vacancy at PHS. “The assistant principal position will be changed to a dean of students position and will also be filled prior to the start of the school year,” Garcia added.

Mateyka replaces Denise Helmer, who announced in May that she was leaving the Plano School District to accept an elementary school principal position in Zhengzhou, China.

Helmer has served as principal of Miller for seven years, and worked there as a middle school teacher for a year. She also served on the Plano School Board for 10 years.

Organizers of the Ribs on the River weekend – which includes the Illinois Whitewater Festival, River Night and Ribs on the River – expect over 5,000 people to attend.

2016. Festivalgoers can participate – or just spectate – during Friday night’s Cardboard Boat Race or Saturday’s Buttercup Slalom race and BoaterCross. Kayakers from all over the United States are expected to compete.

Andy Cocallas, president of the Chicago Whitewater Association, which organizes the races, said online registration ended July 13, but day-of registration is available. To learn more about race registration, visit https://cwa.wildapricot.org/event-2259556.

“We plan to close registration if we get about 75 participants, and last year we had 53 with lots of spectators,” Cocallas said.

Remus said the whitewater kayaking is something unique to experience.

“You get to see a ton of kayakers come through and compete and do all the different competitions,” Remus

Q: Someone is stepping on your toe and it hurts. How do you make it feel better?

A: Push the person off your toe. It eliminates the pressure and lets your toe return to normal.

That’s the idea, and success, behind spinal decompression therapy to relieve back pain, and its source, a herniated disc.

According to the Mayo Clinic, “A herniated disc refers to a problem with one of the rubbery cushions (discs) between the individual bones (vertebrae) that stack up to make your spine. A spinal disc is a little like a jelly donut, with a softer center encased within a tougher exterior. Sometimes called a slipped disc or a ruptured disk, a herniated disk occurs when some of the softer ‘jelly’ pushes through a crack in the tougher exterior.”

Discs can deteriorate as we age and herniate, leaking the “jelly” center which can irritate the nearby nerves, causing pain.

Offering non-surgical treatment for her-

niated discs, Dr. Brian Berkey, Advanced Physical Medicine of Yorkville, has provided more than 15,000 spinal decompression treatments with the DRX9000 equipment since 2006.

“Research has shown that the DRX9000 helps to reduce the compression or pressure on herniated discs. When the compression is reduced, the herniated disc has the opportunity to return to its normal position,” explains Berkey. “It helps increase blood supply to the disc, to help it heal and repair any tears in the tissue. Patients with even severe neck, arm, back, and/or leg pain have been helped with the DRX9000.”

He adds, “Taking pain relievers, muscle relaxers, and anti-inflammatory medications aren’t going to fix the problem. And unless there is lost bowel or bladder control, emergency back surgery is likely not needed. True spinal decompression has an 88.9 percent success rate, which is staggering considering the challenge of treating such complex back problems.”

The annual Ribs on the River Weekend festival will once again transform downtown Yorkville into “Porkville.”

Shay Remus, superintendent of recreation for the Yorkville Parks and Recreation Department, expects over 5,000 people to descend on Bicentennial Park, 131 E. Hydraulic Ave., Yorkville, this Friday and Saturday, July 15 and 16. The event is hosted by the Yorkville Chamber of Commerce, the city of Yorkville and the Chicago Whitewater Association.

Friday’s River Night will feature a cardboard boat race with three race categories: corporate, build at home and build on site. The first race will take place at 6 p.m. Race organizer Stephanie Roskopf of Yorkville Auto Body said those interested in building on-site should arrive by 5 p.m., and that race is limited to the first 15 participants. Registration begins around 4 p.m.

“Do not be afraid of duct tape,” Roskopf suggested.

“It will be your friend. We do supply life vests just in case [the boat] does not stay afloat.”

Friday’s River Night also features food vendors and a beer tent from 5 to 10 p.m., and a free family activity area with bounce houses, face painting, arts and crafts and performances. The band Red Woody will take the stage from 7 until 10 p.m. to provide musical entertainment.

Organizers of the Illinois Whitewater Festival, which is held in conjunction with River Night and Ribs on the River, expect even more participants in

said. “I think it’s really just a neat thing that not a lot of people in Illinois get to experience.”

Remus said the cook-off portion of the Ribs on the River event Saturday will not take place this year.

Barbecue will still be offered by the Knights of Columbus and Southbank Original Barbecue, located just down the street from the festival at 129 E. Hydraulic St., Yorkville.

“The Knights of Columbus were our winners last year – they were voted ‘Best Ribs’ – and they will be providing ribs to keep up with that Ribs on the River tradition,” Remus said.

Other vendors, like Rosati’s and Pepe’s, will also have food available for those looking for more variety.

Remus said there is still a chance the organizers would bring back the cook-off.

“At this point, it’s definitely an option. We want to see how this year goes with focusing more on the whitewater portion of the event,” she said.

Saturday’s events begin at 10 a.m. with food vendors and the beer tent opening. A full lineup of country music artists will perform, beginning with the County Line Brothers from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., followed by Whiskey Romance from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m., and headlining Back Country Roads from 7:30 until the festival ends at 10:30 p.m. The family area will be open from 1 to 6 p.m.

“This year, we focused our music [for Ribs on the River] on country bands. All of them are very popular bands that we believe should bring in a pretty good draw,” Remus said.

Sheriff’s Association warns residents of phone scams SHAW MEDIA The Illinois Sheriffs’ Association is advising all Illinois county residents that there is currently underway a phone campaign fraudulently using the name of the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association in their solicitation.

The Illinois Sheriffs’ Association never solicits by phone but does conduct a direct mail campaign throughout the state of Illinois endorsed by the individual sheriffs across Illinois.

Although there are some legitimate organizations that use telemarketers for their fundraising efforts, the sheriffs of Illinois, through the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association, are adamantly opposed to police groups and associ-

ations using telemarketers in their fundraising efforts.

Should you receive a call from someone saying they represent your local sheriff or the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association and are asking for donations, contact the sheriff’s office immediately or gather as much information as you can from the caller and report it to the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association at ISA@ ilsheriff.org.

Telemarketing fraud costs billions of dollars each year. Phone solicitors who want you to “act immediately” or are offering a “too good to be true” opportunity are most likely fraudulent.

Remember that if you have any doubts, or are highly pressured – just hang up.
