Special prosecutor to take case State’s attorney is possible witness in food pantry probe

By TONY SCOTT tscott@kendallcountynow.com Kendall County State’s Attorney Eric Weis announced Friday that a special prosecutor has been assigned to the case of missing funds from the Kendall County Food Pantry.

Weis said Judge Timothy McCann appointed a special prosecutor from the Illinois Office of the State’s Attorney Appellate Prosecutor.

Plano could save money on bonds Council advised of potential interest reduction

By LYLE R. ROLFE news@kendallcountynow.com City of Plano officials have been notified by holders of the 2011 Police Station General Obligation bonds that they may be able to save the city money by refinancing the original issue.

City Attorney Tom Grant told council members July 25 the company that issued the original bonds notified the

city that if they refinance the bonds they can obtain a lower interest rate and save the city, and thus the taxpayers, money.

Grant said he was not sure at this time how much could be saved, but added that if the company holding the original bonds recommends refinancing, it is usually worth the time and expense to do so.

“They think they can save us sev-

eral thousand dollars by refinancing the bonds at the present low interest rates,” Mayor Bob Hausler told the council.

Grant said the bond holders are not binding the city to anything by taking this action, but said the city must approve an agreement with First Midstate Inc., the bond holders, before they can proceed.

The firm is expected to provide details to the city so officials can decide whether to proceed with the refinancing.

Fines raised for FOIA non-compliance Gov. Rauner signs new transparency law; it will take effect starting Jan. 1

part of an investigation, which is ongoing, regarding “suspicious transactions and possible theft of funds from the Kendall County Food Pantry accounts.”

Six days after the search warrants were executed, Maria Spaeth, then the food pantry’s executive director, and her husband, Ken, resigned from their duties at the pantry, according to food pantry officials.

Maria Spaeth, a Yorkville resident, was found dead in her Lake Holiday vacation home June 21. DeKalb County Coroner Dennis Miller said Spaeth died of a prescription drug overdose, but that it was undetermined whether it was intentional or accidental.

A new group of leaders were announced for the food pantry last month.

A new state law will make it expensive for local governments that choose not to comply with orders to turn over documents ruled public under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. Last month, Gov. Bruce Rauner signed House Bill 4715 into law, which significantly increases fines that can be levied against local governments if they violate court orders or binding attorney general’s opinions that a FOIA request denied by the body must be made public.

The law is one of two signed by Rauner that collectively are called “Molly’s Law,” named in honor of a

family that encountered roadblocks trying to investigate their young daughter’s death.

House Bill 4715 allows the court to fine a government up to $1,000 a day if it does not comply with an order to comply with a FOIA request and turn over disputed records. It also gives people the ability to sue should a government fail to comply after 35 days with a binding opinion from the attorney general that a record must be released.

Molly Young was 21 when she was found dead of a gunshot wound to her head in 2012 at the apartment of her former boyfriend, a Carbondale Police dispatcher.

The family, who did not believe the Southern Illinois University student’s death was a suicide as had been ruled, repeatedly sought documents regarding the case from the city police and the Illinois State Police.

Their efforts were stymied to the point that a wrongful-death lawsuit they filed in 2015 was tossed out due

to the two-year statute of limitations.

No one was ever charged over Young’s death.

The companion bill to Molly’s Law that Rauner also signed, House Bill 6083, extends the statute of limitations for wrongful death cases to five years after the date of death or one year after the criminal case against the perpetrator concludes.

“This bill provides families a longer timeframe to bring wrongful death actions against perpetrators of intentional violent crimes, and gives families access to the necessary public information to find closure in a loved one’s death,” Rauner said in a statement.

State lawmakers in 2009, following the arrest and impeachment of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, significantly strengthened the state FOIA, which media and good-government groups had long complained was far too weak, too easy to abuse and contained no punishments for violating it.

Molly’s Law takes effect Jan. 1.

Neighbors oppose plan for property in southern Kendall

By TONY SCOTT tscott@kendallcountynow.com

Tony Scott - tscott@kendallcountynow.com

Neighbors of the proposed Dirt Road shooting range in southern Kendall County at the Regional Planning Commission meeting. “commercial endeavor with a huge increase in traffic.”

Peterson said Delaney and his family and friends already use the property for shooting, and that they are sometimes shooting on the property for eight to 10 hours at a time on the weekends. He said friends of his three miles away can hear the shots.

Peterson said he was also concerned that his property values would decrease, and that he has read a study that a gun range decreases property values greatly.

“No reasonable person would want to live on our property if this is approved,” he said.

Peterson said he was also concerned about an increase

in crime in the area. He was concerned about the security of ammunition that was for sale at the range.

“The fact that there will be advertising and signage will increase the opportunity for undesirable persons to look into our homes and buildings,” he said.

Roy Wake, a Whitewillow Road resident, said he was concerned about noise from the range. He said noise from shooting at the range is already bothersome.

“There’s days that all I hear is bang, bang, bang,” he said.

“It goes on and on and on; it don’t quit.”

Wake’s wife, Kathy, said the noise is bothersome to the retired couple. She said the

noise also affects her emotionally, as their son killed himself using a gun.

“I work outside a lot and so does my husband, and there are days I’ve heard shooting all day long – Saturday, Sunday,” she said. “We’re a retired couple, we’re older, and we’re not living very peacefully right now where we are because of the gun shooting.

And it bothers me very much because in October of 2014, our oldest son took his life with a gun. We weren’t there, but I relive that, I picture it in my mind, I hear the gun, I hear the shot. And if we have that range there, I don’t know how much I’ll be able to stand.”

Thursday, August 4, 2016

A group of neighbors packed a meeting of the Kendall County Regional Planning Commission in Yorkville on July 27 to voice their opposition to plans for a proposed outdoor shooting range.

Property owner Robert Delaney is seeking to develop the Dirt Road Range on his property at 16502 Church Road, south of Yorkville and just north of the Kendall-Grundy county line. The range would be operational Tuesday t h r o u g h S u nday, starting at 10 a.m. Tuesday through Friday and 9 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays, and would Robert close at 8 p.m.

Delaney or a half-hour before dusk, whichever comes first.

The range will have 24 shooting lanes with a shooting distance of 75 feet, according to county documents.

Delaney is asking for a special use agricultural zoning so he can build the range.

At the conclusion of the hearing, commission members voted to postpone a vote on the issue until their Aug. 24 meeting, as a number of conditions were added to the Delaney proposal. Tom Casey was the lone commissioner to vote against postponing the vote, while Chairman Bill Ashton and commissioners Angela Zubko, Roger Bledsoe, Claire Wilson, Budd Wormley and Larry Nelson voted in favor of

postponing.

A standing-room-only crowd of neighbors at the meeting voiced objections to the range, saying they were concerned about noise, additional traffic, and its effect on property values.

Daniel J. Kramer, a York­ ville attorney representing Delaney, told the commission that there are more than 30 special uses allowable in the area, including shooting ranges.

Delaney said he would like to sell ammunition at the range, but not firearms. When asked, he said long rifles and shotguns would not be allowed to be fired at the range, just handguns.

Wilson asked Delaney if he had done a decibel study regarding the potential noise from the range. Delaney said he had not.

Wilson also asked Delaney if he had experience running a shooting range. He said he did not but that he had two range supervisors who were trained.

In his proposal, Delaney states that his range would be open to law enforcement officers and FFDOs, or federal flight deck officers, for training.

Greg Peterson, who owns the property directly to the west of the proposed range, said the neighbors are not “anti-gun,” but that he has a number of objections to the proposal. He said Delaney uses an easement on their property to access his property, and that if the shooting range is approved, their residential driveway will be used for Delaney’s

The Salem Witch Trials forever labeled 17th century New England as a region where religious fanatics controlled the justice system, even though all those convicted of witchcraft were eventually pardoned and the families of 20 people – including 14 women – who were put to death were compensated for their losses.

Spain, with its grim, ruthless and highly skilled soldiers, turned its eyes west across the Atlantic Ocean – with the assistance of an unemployed Italian navigator named Christopher Columbus – and began to loot the brand new world they “discovered” beyond the Ocean Sea. Spain’s professional and merciless military made short work of under-armed and politically disorganized South American Indians, and soon convoys of Spanish galleons heavily laden with tons of gold and silver began arriving in Europe.

Unfortunately for the Spaniards, supply and demand being what they are, the resulting glut of precious metals, emeralds and other plunder depressed the value of gold, moving the world more towards a barter and trading economy that benefited trading nations like the Netherlands and Great Britain. The efficiency and greed of Spanish conquerors in effect destroyed their nation’s economy.

Spanish stagnation – why worry about technological innovation when shiploads of riches arrived with no real work on behalf of the wealthy – followed, greatly benefiting those aggressive maritime nations including Holland, Portugal and England, leading eventually to England’s domination of world politics.

Also a European continental power, France, too, entered the colonial trading sweepstakes and for a while did pretty well, especially in North America.

When French explorers Louis

Jolliet and Father Jacques Marquette finally arrived in Illinois in 1673 (remember Lake Superior had already been explored and mapped by that time) they found a rich country ­occupied by the Illinois Confederation.

Just six years later, however, when Robert Cavalier de La Salle arrived, other Indian groups had invaded the Illinois’ territory, pushed west like ranks of tumbling dominoes by the highly organized Iroquois Confederacy. The Iroquois were motivated by the determination to control the trade in furs between the Native Americans living in the western Great Lakes and the European traders who had arrived along the Atlantic coast.

Although greatly aided in their conquests by obtaining firearms and other advanced goods (iron axes, brass cooking pots, steel knives, wool blankets) from their English and Dutch allies, it is probable the Iroquois would have erupted from their homeland and attempted to conquer neighboring tribes anyway. Like the Spanish, the Iroquois’ best weapon was their superior organization, which they used with ruthless, devastating effect against other, less organized Native people.

Beset first by the Iroquois, then by disease, and then by other Indian invaders who took advantage of their growing weakness, by the time Americans settled in Kendall County in the 1820s, the Illinois Confederacy had ceased to exist as an organized federation and almost ceased to exist

as a people.

By the time the Potawatomis, Chippewas and Ottawas were removed from their lands in Kendall County in 1836, they considered the area their homeland, although their tribes had only lived permanently in the area for a little over 90 years.

Historians are probably one of the most ambivalent groups in America.

Few historical events are so clear-cut as to have a single definite cause or effect. For instance, the Salem Witch Trials forever labeled 17th century New England as a region where religious fanatics controlled the justice system, even though all those convicted of witchcraft were eventually pardoned and the families of those put to death were compensated for their losses.

It was, admittedly, too late for those falsely accused of superstitious, supernatural crimes, but their eventual legal absolution did show that what eventually became the United States was on its way to becoming a nation of laws.

So after looking at centuries of evidence, one of the questions historians frequently ask themselves is does history control people, or do people control history? And being the ambivalent, strong-minded folks they are, it’s not surprising that many historians will answer with a firm “yes.”

Unlike Africa where, apparently, the human race evolved, the ancestors of everyone who has ever lived in Kendall County, from prehistoric times right up until the present, have come from somewhere else.

The county’s first inhabitants, the bands of Paleo-Indian hunters who followed their food – herds of giant Ice Age grazing animals – moved into Illinois as the glacial ice retreated to the north at the end of the last Ice Age. Individual hunter bands apparently paused during their nomadic trek in and around Kendall County at least for a while – the stone tools and weapons they crafted and left behind have been discovered by arrowhead hunters over the years. But those earliest residents moved on, eventually to see their way of life end as the giant game animals they hunted became extinct, a process no doubt hurried along by those stone projectile points they left behind.

Did these primitive hunters really destroy their own culture by over-hunting the major game animals of their day? Some paleontologists believe they did. Certainly they had the intelligence, the organization, and the tools to hunt giant mammoths, huge paleo bison and giant sloths to extinction. If they did, such an event would seem to be a clear example of men changing history, since the descendants of the paleo-hunters became the ancestors of the Indian tribes who were living here when the first Europeans arrived.

While Indian cultures were sorting themselves out, Europe was also being changed by a combination of natural and cultural forces. Drastic changes in climate on the steppes of today’s Mongolia drove whole nations of hard-bitten horse barbarians west, where they, in turn, drove the people occupying the land even further west.

Invasions of Huns, Goths, Vandals, and other displaced people driven from their homelands by fierce invaders from the East led to the destruction of the Roman Empire in the West.

The Eastern Empire, protected by its efficient and professional armies, continued to sputter along for several hundred more years. It would seem these events are clear examples of history, and nature, shaping men.

The sack of Rome and the Western Empire’s destruction led to centuries of civil and religious upheaval as Europe slowly fought its way back to civilization, culminating in the Renaissance.

As nationalism surged in Europe,

John Wolfinbarger, who lives in Plattville, said he has sent complaints to the county about Delaney using his property as a gun range currently without a special use zoning.

“This organization has not followed the law,” he said. “And we are now supposed to assume that they’re gonna come out of the shadows and do it all legally and legit?”

“They didn’t give a crap about anybody,” he added.

Wolfinbarger said he lives a mile from a range and can hear the noise.

“Every weekend, pop pop pop,” he said. “That’s what you hear. It’s like a barking dog, when you work the midnight shift and you come home and you’re trying to sleep. It’s like a barking dog, or a dripping, leaky faucet.

That’s all you hear.”

John Sterrett, the county’s senior planner, confirmed that complaints had been filed about the usage of the property as a firing range.

“We did receive some concerns that the shooting range was operating prior to the special use [being approved],”

Coloring for Adults: Monday, Aug. 15, 6:30 to 7:45 p.m. Coloring isn’t just for kids; he said.

However, while Wolfinbarger said Delaney had been operating the range for two to three years, Kramer pointed out that Delaney had purchased the property in December of 2014.

Kramer said Delaney and his close family and friends have used the property for private shooting purposes.

Bledsoe asked if keys to the property would be given to members, and Delaney said they would be. However, Delaney said there must be range supervision whenever the range is open.

However, Nelson asked, what would stop a member from entering the property after hours if they had a key?

Delaney agreed that only the range masters should have keys.

Jeff Manning, a Whitewillow Road resident, said he was a commercial airline pilot and knew about the training FFDOs undergo. He said he did not want the range near his home.

“I am not anti-gun; I am pro-gunrange,” he said to Delaney. “If you move your location I might even give you my business. But I ask this commission to please reject this proposal.

If you wouldn’t put a 24-lane outdoor gun range in your backyard, don’t put it in mine.”

Thurwanger, who will receive her doctorate degree in August from the University of St. Francis, is no stranger to the Plano district.

Several things attracted her to apply for this position.

“First, I’ve been a member of this community for several years, and I’ve known Dr. Garcia for some time, having worked with him at Plainfield North where he was director for curriculum and instruction,” she said.

Garcia said she has a unique insight into the Plano School District because her two children, now in high school, have been in the district since second and third grades. Her son, Keegan, is now a freshman at the high school and her daughter, Payton, is a sophomore, she said.

“Being able to combine my passion for education in the place where my children have had such an educational experience is priceless,” she added.

Thurwanger said she has 18 years of experience in education with a strong commitment to leadership principles and practices gained through work experience and formal education.

Her professional experience includes serving a doctoral internship in human resources at the Plainfield

School District from January of last year through June of this year, serving as assistant principal for the past year at Scullen Middle School in Naperville, and serving as assistant principal for student services from July 2007 through July 2015 at Plainfield North High School.

During her 18 years, she also served as dean of students at Oswego East High School; assistant principal and dean of students at Sycamore High School; dean of students, health and science educator, coach and class sponsor and union vice president at Morris Community High School; science educator, coach, and class sponsor at the Somonauk Junior-Senior High School; and science educator and student teacher at Jefferson Middle School in the West Aurora district.

She received her Education and Certification Doctorate in Educational Leadership, Superintendent Endorsement, from St. Francis University last year, received her Masters of Arts in Educational Leadership from Aurora University in 2001, and her bachelor’s degree in health and general sciences from Eastern Illinois University in 1998.

The board set Thurwanger’s salary at $97,500.

Phillip J. Sexton of Urbana was recently hired by Plano School District 88 Board members as dean of students at the Plano High School.

Superintendent Dr. Hector Garcia said they received 45 to 50 applications for the position.

“We ended up with two finalists and Sexton was chosen. Both finalists were from out of town,” Garcia said.

Sexton’s career includes serving as P.E., driver’s ed and Behind the Wheel teacher and director of alternative education at the Champaign Central High School; administrative assistant at the Pontiac Township High School; assistant principal and athletic director at the Greenview Community Unit School District; K-12 principal at the Dwight Township High School; P.E. and driver education teacher at the Savanna Junior-Senior High School; P.E. and social studies teacher at the Rantoul High School; alternative education P.E. teacher at Urbana Middle School; and P.E. teacher at Mt. Carol High School.

Sexton said he developed a master schedule for teachers to help students

attain their educational goals, developed a coaching and athletic handbook and raised more than $80,000 in two years for athletics.

“I have been active in all area of sports and wrote grants for school districts that helped bring money and new curriculum opportunities to schools to improve students’ educational experience,” he said.

One of the board members asked if Sexton might take over the district’s wrestling program.

“Our initial intent is not for him to have any coaching responsibilities, but he knows the situation,” Garcia said.

Benson said Sexton has the experience. “He could fill this role and I would feel comfortable with him,” he added.

Garcia said Sexton’s annual salary will be $57,500.

The board vote to hire Sexton was unanimous.

In other business, Tracy Thurwanger, a Plano resident, was hired by the board as the district’s new director for teaching and learning. She will replace Terri Hanrahan, who resigned to spend more time with her elderly parents.

The 2016 Kendall County Fair will take place Aug. 4 to 7, and Mike Drendel knows the ins and outs of the fair better than almost anyone.

President of the fair’s board of directors for 24 years, he has been involved with the fair for over 26 years, and involved in 4-H before that.

Drendel says the fair, which takes place at 10826 Route 71, Yorkville, is all about the people.

“Our slogan is ‘A place where friends and family meet,’” he said. “You see a lot of hand-shaking going on there.”

While main events include the 15th annual Western Speed Show (11 a.m. Aug. 4), ISP Truck and Tractor Pull (6 p.m.

Aug. 5), Freestyle Madness (7 p.m. Aug. 6) and the return of

the Demolition Derby Sunday, it’s the hidden gems that stand out to Drendel. He hopes that when visitors see a blue ribbon, they learn how the participant earned it.

“There’s so many [gems].

The things I look at are the shows that and the judging that goes on with the livestock and the kids. The interaction between the kids, the judges and the animals – to learn why they’re doing the project they’re doing,” he said. “It doesn’t have to be livestock, it could be rocketry, growing veggies in a garden, or rock collecting. All are special, and the kids are learning. We’re trying to teach about agriculture and responsibility.”

Check-in and judging for projects began Aug. 2, and Shaw Media file photo livestock check-in was Aug. 3.

“There’s a young lady that has a 4-H project that has a disability. She showed goats as a kid, and still does.

She’s going to be 30 years old now,” Drendel said. “To see her participate, and the pride she has, brings a tear to my eye.”

On the entertainment side, local artists will dominate the lineup. Deluxe will take the stage from 8 to 10 p.m. Aug. 4, while the Ethan Bell Band will perform from 7 to 9 p.m. Aug. 5, followed by Bill Croft and the 5 Alarm Band from 10 p.m. to midnight. On Aug. 6, the Blue Sky Band will perform from 7 to 9 p.m. before Whiskey Romance closes out the night from 10 p.m. to midnight.

“The bands that play are terrific.

You can’t beat the local talents that we have in the area,” Drendel said.

“There’s a talent contest Sunday – we have kids in that contest that go down to the state contest, and all of our participants have been in top 10 in the state contest the last five years.”

The fair has its share of contests and tournaments available to the community, from Saturday’s Culver’s icecream-eating contest, to Sunday’s watermelon-eating contest and sweet corn chowdown. The 2016 fair will also have

Derek Przybyla, 5, of Minooka, enjoyed the rides at last year’s Kendall County Fair. new mud volleyball tournament at 10 a.m. Aug. 7.

“We’ve seen [mud volleyball] be successful at some other events around the area with a lot [of people] interested in it. So we said we’re going to try it,” Drendel said. “It’s popular in the area, and hopefully it’ll be an annual event.”

A number of local food vendors will

be joined by others from all over the country. Local vendors include the Kendall Grundy Beef Producers, Drendel/Kraber pulled pork and breakfast, Little Jimmy’s Italian Ice, Kendall County Pork Producers, Feeding Frenzy Concessions, Kendall County Corn Growers and Taco Fiesta. Vendors will have funnel cakes, tacos, Italian sau-

sage, corn dogs, beef products, fried veggies, kettle corn, desserts, pulled pork, breakfast food, corn, Italian ice, pork burgers, hot dogs, smoked chicken and ribs, ice cream and more.

“If [visitors] are still hungry, they could always buy a whole cow during the 4-H Livestock Auction held 6 p.m. on Saturday,” fair board vice president Dan Ralston said in an email.

A day pass for the fair for adults is $8, seniors are $5 and children $4, and four-day passes are available for $24 for adults, $16 for seniors and $12 for children. A “megapass,” which includes a day’s fair entry and all-day carnival rides, is $20 for adults, and $8 for children 5 and under. An all-day carnival pass is $12 for adults, $16 for children ages 5 to 13, and $15 for seniors. Active service military members are free with a service identification. VIP parking spaces are available for $20.

Drendel said it takes a lot of help to produce a quality fair. “[There are] a lot of volunteers – not just the fair board. Hundreds of people help to make this happen, and have made it successful for many generations.”

Groundbreaking Performance & Productivity

Delegate talks of Dem convention experience Kendall County resident attended to cast vote for Sanders for president

By TONY SCOTT tscott@kendallcountynow.com A Kendall County woman experienced the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia first-hand as an elected delegate for U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Elizabeth Braun Wilke, who lives in the Kendall County portion of Aurora and serves as the Kendall County Democratic Party’s treasurer, was in Philadelphia last week and on the convention floor.

Wilke answered a few questions about her experience.

Q: What was the atmosphere like on the convention floor Monday evening?

A: The atmosphere was certain-

ly tense in the convention center Monday night [July 25]. Although I did not experience that within the Illinois delegation. Everyone in Illinois treated one another with respect and kindness (at least those were my experiences).

Q: What did you think of Bernie Sanders’ speech?

A: I thought Bernie’s speech was

fantastic. It was passionate, honest, and inspiring. I support Bernie and have voted for him here, as his delegate.

Q: Who were/are you most looking forward to seeing speak (in addition to Sen. Sanders)?

A: I loved hearing Bernie speak and

Michelle Obama was incredible as usual.

Q: Would you recommend this experience to anyone else who wants to get involved in politics?

A: I would recommend running for delegate or simply attending the convention. It’s a critical part of the presidential political process.

Q: Was this your first convention?

Your first time as a delegate?

A: This [was] not my first conven-

tion. I attended in 2012; however, this [was] my first convention as an elected delegate.

Q: Are you planning on supporting the Democratic nominee, whether it be Sanders or Clinton?

A: I’m excited to vote for the most progressive Democratic platform in the history of the party on Nov. 8.

Q: When does the nominating of candidates take place at the convention?

A: Nominee voting takes places

with your delegation. Illinois voted on paper [Monday and Tuesday] after our delegation breakfast. I was honored to cast my nominee vote for Senator Sanders on behalf of the tens of thousands of people who elected me to do so. The roll call of those votes [took] place [Tuesday evening].

Q: How did you become a delegate?

A: The Democratic

delegate selection process is overseen by the Illinois Democratic Party. I reached out to the party and expressed my interest in being a Sanders delegate last September. In October the campaign began putting together their slate and I applied with the campaign. I was vetted in November and slated by the campaign for my district (the 11th Congressional District). I then had to gather petitions (500 signatures for the district for the entire slate) to get on the ballot. The signatures were turned in during the required window according to the state board of elections in January. I was placed on the March 15 primary ballot and the voters of the 11th Congressional District voted me in. I was highest female vote-getter for Sanders delegates.

Q: Where did you stay during the convention?

A: I [was] at the Illinois delegation

hotel, Courtyard Marriott City Center.

I [shared] a room with a close friend who is a Clinton delegate from [the 16th Congressional District].

Q: How long were you in Philadelphia for the convention? What costs were involved to attend the convention?

A: I arrived Sunday and [left]

No injuries reported after small plane comes down in local farm field

Every Woman Ever

Wants nts an OB/Gyn Who Understands.

Understands

By TONY SCOTT tscott@kendallcountynow.com A pilot made an emergency landing in a farm field in the 9000 block of Millbrook Road south of Plano at approximately 11:38 a.m. Sunday, according to the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office.

Police said the pilot, Kurt Englemann, was the sole occupant of the plane and was not hurt. Police did not release Englemann’s age or address.

Englemann told police he was flying from Wisconsin when his plane lost power, prompting him to make the emergency landing.

Representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration have been notified, and will complete an investigation, police said.

The 9000 block of Millbrook Road is located south of Silver Springs State Park. Steve Graves, who lives in the 9300 block of Millbrook Road and owns the property on which the plane landed, said he and his wife were working in their yard when the landing occurred but didn’t hear anything.

“We didn’t see it,” he said. “It came down so quietly because the engine had failed, we didn’t hear a thing.”

Graves said he saw emergency vehicles come down the road, and “didn’t think anything of it.”

“Ten minutes later, a fire department vehicle came in our driveway

with the lights flashing,” he said. “I told the individual there was no problem here, and he said ‘We have a plane down in the area.’ And then upon further walking around the house we saw, by golly, there it is.”

Graves said it appeared there was minor damage to the plane.

“Some of the landing gear collapsed and there’s dents in the plane,” he said.

As of Monday morning, Graves said the plane was still on his property. He said he didn’t know when the plane would be removed.

“Nobody’s talking much to me,” he said. “We haven’t had any further communication since [the crash].”

CHICAGO SUBURBAN BASEBALL LEAGUE

Oswego Cats end season with loss in Cincinnati Team reaches NABF regional semifinal, falls 5-1 to New York lineup

By LAURA M. MEDINA sports@kendallcountynow.com For the Oswego Cats, the road to the playoffs was paved with the typical ups and downs of winning streaks and losing skids, unexpected and unpredictable weather delays, and a rash of injuries that wrenched the everyday lineup.

In spite of the tough spots, the Cats put together another successful season, surpassing the 20-win mark (21-171, 13-15-1 Chicago Suburban Baseball League) for the fifth time in six years and ending sixth in the realigned CSBL. They even reached the league’s inaugural championship game before it was called off because of lightning.

All of this set the stage for Oswego’s first appearance in a National Amateur Baseball Federation (NABF) Regional last weekend in Cincinnati, where it opened with three wins before a 5-1 semifinal loss to Buffalo-Orville’s (New York) on Sunday morning to end its summer season.

“Overall, the season was a success,” Cats field manager Todd Miller said.

“We didn’t know what we were going into [at the NABF]. We’ll take a few

days off before looking at things for next year, but I consider this a success.

It was another year with 20 wins … but it was a good rebuilding year. We were hit with injuries, but hopefully, those guys will recover and will be able to come back and do what they’ve done before.”

Buffalo eventually lost to the Ohio-based Lake Erie Buckeyes, who grabbed the Cincinnati Regional title and will head to the Charles Blackburn Major Division World Series that starts Wednesday and concludes Sunday at Bailey Park in Battle Creek, Michigan.

It was Oswego’s first venture into NABF competition. Previously, the Cats competed in the American Amateur Baseball Congress (AABC) Regional. A new direction within the CSBL, however, made the team one of seven from the league to compete in postseason NABF major tournaments.

Though they were the newcomers, the Cats opened the bracket impressively to advance to the championship round.

“We played some very tight games,” Miller said.

One such contest was last Thurs-

day’s opener in which right-hander Brandon Thielk tossed a three-hitter for a 1-0 victory over the Cincinnati Mudcats.

Thielk, who finished 4-3 on the mound with a 4.44 ERA in eight starts this summer, walked two and fanned six in his second shutout of the season.

He was supported by the run Mike Rissley (2-for-2, walk, stolen base) scored in the bottom of the third.

“We didn’t really hit, but we had a ton of baserunners,” said Miller, noting that the Cats stranded 11 of 12 on base.

“But they didn’t really threaten, and Brandon was in control.”

After going 2-for-3 at the plate in Thursday’s game, Kevin Loukota went the distance on the mound in an exciting 3-2, eight-inning win over the Portland (Indiana) Rockets on Friday afternoon.

The right-hander conceded seven hits, two runs and two walks while striking out eight for the Cats, who trailed 2-1 after the bottom of the sixth inning and tacked on single runs in the seventh and eighth.

Catcher Mike Cherven went 2-for2, while Jeff Woods went 1-for-3 with a

walk and a RBI and Jose Camacho, hitless in three at-bats, had a sacrifice-fly RBI. Oswego then took advantage of pitching and defensive miscues in Saturday morning’s 12-2 drubbing of the Yorkville (Ohio) Yaks.

Down 1-0 after the top of the first, the team scored six in the bottom portion and cruised from there. Right-hander Ryan Millan was solid on the mound, allowing two runs (one earned) in the effort, while Ryan O’Dell homered and had two RBI, and Camacho had a tworun home run.

“We hit the ball pretty well, but really, we had the benefit of walks and some of their fielding errors,” Miller said.

Sunday’s loss was a difficult one, as Oswego scored one in the bottom of the second before Buffalo responded with three in the top half of the third inning and scored a pair as the game progressed.

“It was OK. We played well defensively, but we didn’t hit well, and that was our downfall,” Miller said. “Every hit we had was right at someone.”

Left-hander Adam Eck, who conceded four walks and hit two batters, gave up those first three Buffalo runs and didn’t make it out of the third inning, when Thielk came on in relief.
