Corrupted software remains in 911 system Fix fails for problem that contributed to Sept. outage

By DREW ZIMMERMAN dzimmerman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – A planned repair to eliminate corrupted software in the 911 system last month failed, a Frontier Communications representative said Dec. 7.

Paul Soffels, 911 administrator for Frontier, said during the DeKalb County E911 board meeting that the corrupted software will be run through Genband, an outside software solutions company, and that there many not be a solution to the problem until the end of the year.

Frontier, in conjunction with Genband, had anticipated solving the prob-

lem by conducting a system reload in November. However, the updated software programming recognized that reloading the switch entity that processes 911 calls wouldn’t fix the corrupted software.

“It’s a freak thing, and I’ve only seen it once in a lifetime, but now we can recognize the problem in the future and respond to it quicker,” Stoffels said.

The corrupted software contributed to the temporary 911 outage in DeKalb County in September that affected as many as 105,000 residents.

Frontier Communications General Manager Thomas Kuschman has said that the DeKalb central office serves as a critical element of the Frontier network, handling tens of thousands of calls a day.

Board members voiced concerns

over what kind of fail-safes would be in place until Genband fixed the software.

Stoffels said that Frontier has patched around the corrupted software to ensure that the system’s core memory won’t be affected. If the patch were to fail, calls would be rerouted to the seven-digit department numbers.

The board recommended giving a copy of any back up plans if the patch were to fail to DeKalb County E-911 coordinator Glenna Johnson and suggested it would be possible to have a downed server’s data be saved and replicated to another server as a countermeasure.

Once Genband is able to fix the problem that caused the system update in November to fail, the new software will eliminate the need for patches, Stoffels said.

By STEPHANIE MARKHAM smarkham@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – The recently elected DeKalb County Board is preparing for the year with its two main leaders retaining their spots and an evening without party control.

The board re-elected Mark ­Pietrowski Jr., D-District 3, as chairman and Tracy Jones, R-District 1, as vice chairman. Both will hold those positions for another two-year term.

New board members took office this month after the Nov. 8 general election, which saw Democrats lose the slight majority they’ve held since 2014. The parties now share control of the board with a 12-12 split. The board also selected members for its stand-

ing committees, including economic development, finance, forest preserve, health and human services, highway, law and justice, and planning and zoning.

Pietrowski said Democrats will lead three committees while Republicans will lead four, a reversal from last term’s division. He said he expects the board will continue its path toward fiscal responsibility.

“In terms of memberships, the economic development committee has a Republican chairman [Tim Bagby, R-District 3], but the committee itself is tied,” he said.

Pietrowski said he and Jones were unanimously re-elected by board members, and they will carry over their same goal of keeping a balanced budget.

“We just passed a balanced budget, and we want

Sandwich ALR donates to Franklin Mall Christmas Project

to continue to have balanced budgets without dipping into our reserves,” he said.

Jones said the biggest accomplishments of last term were passing the first balanced budget since 2008 and beginning the DeKalb County Jail expansion. He said going forward he would like to see the county’s reserves built back up.

“This board is new; we have a few new members, but the board in the past agreed that reserves are down to a level where they can’t go down any further,” Jones said.

Jones said he and Pietrowski should be able to work well together.

“We know how to disagree without walking out of meetings or yelling,” he said. “If there is a disagreement, the votes are what the votes are.”

Something to Think About

Jeff Beverage Director HOME BURIAL More than one person has asked about being buried on their own land, in their own backyard. Is it legal?

In many parts of the country there are no regulations that would stop you. For instance, there are no federal laws governing burial procedures, although many states have cemetery regulatory boards that might oversee such requests.

Anyone considering burial on family land should check first with local zoning and health authorities, a suggestion that would be valid in any state.

Regardless of the law, using your yard for burial would probably not be practical. Few families can count on spending more than one generation in the same house. Turning part of the yard into a burial area would make your property more difficult to sell, even if you have a lot spacious enough to

accommodate a grave. You would probably end up losing more money in the resale value of your property than you save by not purchasing a cemetery lot.

Food pantry works to build back trust As investigation goes on, clients are served, finances stay stable

By TONY SCOTT tscott@kendallcountynow.com Six months after Yorkville police searched the offices of the Kendall County Food Pantry in Yorkville as part of a theft investigation, leaders at the renamed Kendall County Community Food Pantry say they are slowly but surely picking up the pieces.

During a recent distribution day at the pantry, families and individuals crowded into a waiting area and then patiently browsed the many food staples available, including meat and produce donated by local grocery stores and other businesses.

Greg Witek, the Little Rock-Fox Fire Protection District fire chief and KenCom dispatch executive board chairman who was named chairman of the new food pantry board when the new board and leadership took over Aug. 11, said 300 to 350 families represent-

Tony Scott - tscott@kendallcountynow.com

Clients browse the meats, produce and other goods available during a recent distribution day at the Kendall County Community Food Pantry in Yorkville. ing between 900 and 1,200 households walk through the pantry’s doors every month in need of everyday items.

Witek said the issues that occurred six months ago did not impact the clients of the pantry.

“Throughout the entire process, if

they didn’t read the papers, they would not know anything had happened,” he said. “So even in the darkest days when there was red ink in the checkbook and the volunteers were barely getting by, they were here every Thursday and the clients came and got food and it all worked out.”

On June 1, Yorkville police executed a search warrant on the pantry, located at 208 Beaver St. in Yorkville’s Fox Industrial Park, and a Yorkville residence following reports by pantry volunteers of suspicious transactions and possible theft of funds from the pantry’s accounts, according to police. Law enforcement sources estimated that between $150,000 and $200,000 was taken from the pantry, but a criminal investigation is still ongoing and Witek said pantry officials are still sorting through documents to determine how much was missing.

A week after the raid, the former executive director of the pantry, Maria Spaeth, and the pantry’s treasurer, Maria’s husband Kenneth Spaeth, both of Yorkville, resigned from their positions at the pantry. On June 21, Maria Spaeth was found dead in her vacation home in Lake Holiday of a prescription drug overdose, according to DeKalb County Coroner Dennis Miller.

A Kendall County judge appointed a special prosecutor to the case in July.

State’s Attorney Eric Weis, who previously served on the pantry’s board, said he could be called as a witness in the case. In September, the Yorkville

A visit to Waterman is one of the most anticipated events of the year for Kylie Kofoid of Compton.

Kylie, 9, and her family are a few of the thousands of people who hop on board the Holiday Lights Train, a free train ride that takes visitors on a halfmile loop around Waterman’s festively decorated Lions Park.

“This is our family tradition, and we come every year,” said Kylie, who was waiting in line to board the train with her grandparents, aunt and cousin. “I always get excited every year. I like riding the train and seeing Santa’s workshop in the tunnel.”

Pete and Charleen Robinson of Waterman have been offering free miniature train rides around Lions Park for 23 years. Decorations with more than 300,000 lights on hundreds of unique wire-frame figurines that Pete made by hand line the quarter-scale train’s halfmile run. Guests are treated to free hot cocoa and popcorn after the ride, and can even visit with Santa Claus.

Pete Robinson said more than 20,000 people from all over northern Illinois

Ride the Holiday Lights Train

Continued from page 7 and beyond visit Waterman each holiday season. Despite hundreds of hours of preparation each year, Pete said he loves bringing joy to the community and making children happy.

“There’s nothing better than seeing little kids jumping up and down waiting for their train ride, so it’s worth every second because of the smiles we put on people’s faces,” he said. “This is our Christmas gift to the world.”

Pete’s wife, Charleen, runs the kitchen and stays busy preparing hot cocoa and fresh popcorn. She said she’s happy that she and her husband are able to offer everything free of charge.

“There are so many families who can’t afford a Christmas, and we try to give them happiness,” she said. “I really enjoy doing this. We work all year long, and always add new things every year.”

Tom Wales drove to Waterman all the way from Arlington Heights to take his 3-year-old twin sons for a ride on the train. He said a friend recommended it to him and his wife, and they said it was worth the long drive.

“It was a good train ride, and the boys got to see Santa. They loved it,” he said. “The overall Christmas atmosphere is great and perfect for getting into the holiday spirit.”

Addison Bingham, 8, of Rochelle loved seeing all of the lights and going inside the tunnel, which was turned

into Santa’s workshop. Her mother, Jamie, said riding the train is a family tradition for her as well.

“We bring the whole family because the kids love seeing the lights and they count down the days until we come,” Jamie said. “I like that they do it for free so everyone can visit.”

Bridgette Copeland of Malta brought her three young daughters who had so much fun that they rode the train twice.

“This is our second year coming,” Copeland said. “The kids loved it last year and really wanted to come again.

The lights are great, and this is so exciting for little kids.”

As you consider transferring your wealth, your family’s financial future takes on new meaning.

Sandwich High School Principal Tom Sodaro has announced that 12 Sandwich Community High School students from the graduating class of 2017 have been recognized as Illinois State Scholars.

The Illinois Student Assistance Commission, the state agency committed to helping to make college accessible and affordable for Illinois families, bestows this prestigious recognition to top Illinois high school students annually. Each year, approximately 18,000 students are honored for their academic achievements.

Illinois State Scholars represent approximately the top 10 percent of high school seniors, hailing from over 600 different high schools across the state. Selection is based on

SAT or SAT score and/or class rank at the end of the junior year. High school guidance counselors work with ISAC to determine the winners.

Sodaro said, “I am always excited to find out which students from Sandwich are Illinois State Scholars. These students are chosen based on their ACT score and class rank. Myself and the faculty at SHS are proud of these students’ accomplishments and look forward to their continued success.”

The following Sandwich Community High School students were named 2017-18 Illinois State Scholars: Shania Aguilar, Faith Albright, Joshua Beyer, Joshua Fraser, Erik Gilbert, Timothy Gordon, Warner Hellyer, Cody Hulon, Emily Mendoza, Justin Sartori, Carmen Vandermeer and Brandon Welchko.

Snowy days create their own sounds, smells Despite the effects of climate change on our Illinois winters, it still gives me a warm feeling to sit here in my office, in the house my great-grandparents built as their retirement home, and watch the flakes fall during an early winter snowfall.

Downtown, children and adults, all dressed in high-tech, down-filled, ripstop winter clothing, hurry along the sidewalks on their way to and from downtown stores. Today’s clothing is lighter and more comfortable and autos and other pieces of necessary machinery are more dependable, but an Illinois winter’s cold, wind and snow are constants that conjure up memories of winters and holidays past.

These days, I chiefly recall those days of decades ago by their sounds and aromas.

The sound of a small boy walking along a snowy lane with corduroy pants and five-buckle boots seemed unnaturally loud during a quiet early morning snowfall. Each step produced a “whoop-clink!” as first one and then another corduroyed leg noisily

Heading back to the house pulling a brand new sled, magnificent in its varnished wood and red painted runners that just the day before were carefully polished with a bit of steel wool and then waxed with the nub of an old candle, it was not too difficult to imagine Arctic explorers or Eskimo hunters trudging alongside, sharing the adventures and hardships of a long, frozen journey fraught with all manner of dangers. Do you suppose a polar bear smells anything like a tail-wagging dog after she’s had a happy roll in the snow?

After stamping and sweeping the snow from boots and snow pants, that wonderful kitchen all grandmothers seemed to possess, with all its special wintertime aromas, provided the perfect welcome. The cheery cookstove, all shiny white porcelain and dull

Continued from page 12 black cast iron, warmed the room and provided, back behind and next to the wall, the perfect haven for a slumbering cat curled up in a cardboard box.

Huge fresh-baked sugar cookies and fluted-edged molasses cookies, each with three small half-circles indented (creating dark brown smiley faces way before emojis were a gleam in someone’s digital dreams), cooling on the kitchen counter added a sweet smell of sugar and spice all their own.

The scarf was unwound, the hat and mittens removed, the thick winter coat unbuckled and unzipped. Damp mittens were put on the back of the cookstove to dry, all of it adding a moist wool smell to the room.

Remarkable designs had appeared overnight on the windows, with mysterious, enigmatic, beautiful scenes outlined in shining frost. Who was this wintertime Picasso and why did he seem to do his finest work on Grandmother’s kitchen windows?

Jack Frost did it, was the unsatisfactory explanation.

In this day and age, a snowstorm’s quiet is punctuated by the muffled, mechanized roar of neighborhood snowblowers and pickup-mounted snowplows, but the delighted squeals of snowbound children, sentenced to frolic with sleds and snow saucers for

the day, are still also there, provided you’re willing to listen hard and patiently enough.

The musical clinking of tire chains is mostly absent these days – at least in this part of the country – and the distinctive sounds made by walkers clad in corduroy pants and five-buckle boots have given way to the sleeker sounds of nylon trousers and boots apparently modeled on those worn by

Moon-walking astronauts. And our modern double-glazed windows have robbed poor old Jack Frost of his best medium; he must be content these days with fewer and fewer suitable single-pane windows – hardly what the old master deserves.

The constant is the snow itself, creating a thick, soft white blanket that covers carefully manicured lawns and scarred construction sites alike. For

all our modem, efficient snow clearing equipment, the dense white of our modern winter storms still slow our bustling suburban lives to an unwanted – but often secretly enjoyed – walk.

The trick is to slow down and enjoy it for what it is.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ’Tis the season

To the Editor: Now that we are closer to Christmas, I want to say a word about our newspaper carrier, and about tipping. I found this Emily Post online article on holiday tipping helpful and pass it along. She starts with common sense: Don’t go beyond your budget. If money is tight, she says, consider a homemade gift (think cookies, or if you knit there’s an idea). Also, Ms. Post says that if you tip regularly for service, a more modest gift at Christmas is in order. She reminds us that a kind word of thanks often is gift enough. Here’s the URL: http://emilypost.com/advice/holiday-tipping-guide.

Now about the newspaper carrier, even if you no longer read the paper version.

There are ever so many people upon whom we depend – people who work on our behalf under all kinds of difficult conditions; yesterday we were helped by two nurses at Valley West Hospital who did an outstanding job. That’s just one other example. However. I think there are few jobs that match the newspaper delivery person in having to work seven days a week, furnish car and fuel, and in all kinds of weather. I have a copy of an apology we received from the delivery manager last year when service was just awful. “A severe shortage in delivery drivers,” they said, and I believe it.

We are on the early part of our route, so each day we look for our paper to be delivered in time to look at it over a cup of coffee or breakfast. It is such a tradition that when the paper is not there we really miss it. Of late the service has been quite good and we are going to tip as generously as we feel we can. We have received the customary “tip” letter and so the driver is no longer a nameless entity. A picture would help even more.

All of us can use the advice that a kind word of thanks does so much.

SANDWICH – Thousands of homemade cookies and pieces of homemade candy are needed to fill 450 Christmas Cheer Baskets for the elderly and those living alone in Sandwich, all delivered on Christmas Eve with a visit from Santa Claus and helpers.

Area bakers and candy-makers are urged to share some of their sweets, bringing a smile to the faces of those at Willow Crest Nursing Pavilion, Valley West Community Hospital, Sandwich Rehabilitation Center, Ironwood, the Sandwich Manor and others living in their homes and apartments.

The Christmas Cheer Baskets are one segment of the Franklin Mall Christmas Project that was started more than 60 years ago by the late Frankie and Peg Mall.

The Sandwich Lions Club has administered the project for many years with the cooperation of the whole community.

The cookies and candy will be packed in containers starting at

6 p.m. sharp on Thursday, Dec. 22, at the United Church of Sandwich, 512 E. Lions Road, across from Sandwich High School.

Persons can bring homemade cookies and candy to the packing site by 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 22, even staying to help with the packaging if they wish.

The goodies can be dropped off in advance at the home of Pat Wallis, 305 S. Wolfe St., Sandwich, where they will be kept frozen until the packing date.

Phone 815-786-8095 for details.

Sandwich Lions Club members who can be contacted about the project are: Christmas Cheer Basket Chair Kyle Wallis at 815786-8789, Grocery Box Chair Karen Spangler at 815-786-2189, Club President Ed Carter at 630552-1345 or Michele “Mickey” Farley at 815-786-8086.

Monetary donations can be made by sending checks, made out to the Franklin Mall Project, to the Sandwich Lions Club, P.O. Box 32, Sandwich, IL 60548; or mailing or taking contributions to the 1st National Bank, Attn: Deb Krafft, 100 W. Church St., Sandwich, IL 60548.

• FOOD PANTRY

Continued from page 6 police handed over their completed investigation to Charles Colburn of the Illinois Office of the State’s Attorneys Appellate Prosecutor’s Special Prosecution Unit.

No criminal charges have been filed in the case.

Asked for any progress on the case last week, Colburn wrote in an email, “Nothing I can release at this time.”

Grant Wegner of Yorkville, an attorney and retired judge who sits on the food pantry board, has been acting as legal counsel and liaison between the pantry board and Colburn, Witek said. “[Wegner] has been in close contact with the special prosecutor, and my understanding is it’s on his list of to-dos, and he’s just got a lot of to-dos,” Witek said. “So he’s getting through the process but he’s not there yet.”

Wegner said the police and prosecutors had all of the organization’s documents, which made it hard for them to begin building a case for civil litigation.

“What initially happened was they went in with a search warrant and took all of our records and documents,” he said. “So before we could pursue any other avenues of recovery, we had to get access to that. So, Colburn and I worked out an agreed court order, where we have some material they can turn over to us and then there are two other boxes

of material that they’re going to hold onto because they have evidentiary value, but we’ll have access, we can look at them and things of that sort.”

Wegner said that he expects that “we’ll pursue civil remedies... to whoever we have a legitimate cause of action against.” Secondly, there is potential insurance coverage related to errors or omissions by nonprofit directors, he said, so by reviewing the documents they will be able to figure out if they can file such a claim.

“The third side of it is completely up to Colburn, and if they do have some criminal charges that develop, obviously one of the things that we’ll be pushing for in any kind of plea agreement or sentencing would be that we get some restitution money,” he said.

Wegner said the pantry officials have no estimates right now of how much was stolen, just “ideas,” but that there’s “definitely enough to pursue, I can tell you that.”

Witek said the volunteers stuck with the pantry even during the controversies. He said that according to pantry Director Tandy Pinter, volunteer inquiries through its new website, including those who want to do temporary volunteer shifts, have been more than steady.

“There is a record high in terms of people who want to help,” he said.

Witek said church groups, school groups and others will take temporary shifts, and then there are those who come to the pantry and just say they

want to help. He gave the example of a 50-something couple who stopped in the pantry in July.

“He had recently retired and they live in Oswego, and said we want to help, and they have been here every single Thursday like clockwork since the beginning of July,” he said. “They’re a part of the family now.”

Witek said it’s difficult to tell how the donations compare, for example, to previous years because the records are not complete.

“The disappointing part of analyzing the finances is that we just don’t have any history to work with,” he said.

“There was incomplete record-keeping of the finances before the new board took over, and what was done has this aura of ‘Well, is that all of it?’ And we know the answer is no, it’s not. The stuff that we do have is inadequate and it’s also missing dollars.”

Witek said the pantry has paid off most of its debt – except for a truck loan – and has money in the bank.

“There have been a lot of questions about the finances because in the past, every time finances were discussed, the volunteers were told ‘Well, you know, we’re barely making it, we hardly have money for this or that or the other thing,’” he said. “Now, the good news I delivered to them today is, we are a month ahead in our payments to the Northern Illinois Food Bank, that’s our main food source, all of our debt is completely paid off except for a traditional

truck loan.”

He continued, “We have several months of cash in the bank, the bills are all paid, it’s a huge blessing. The going commentary for that is we know that all the incoming donations are all making it into the bank and are all being used on bona fide bills. That’s about as delicately as I could possibly say it.”

There is still pain from the incidents, however, Witek said.

“We’ve got 91 volunteers who are all hurting from that whole process,” he said.

Witek said that Maria Spaeth did good work in the county, but that there is a “black mark” on that work now.

“No doubt, over the course of almost 30 years she did some wonderful things for the county, no doubt, and I never want to take that away from her,” he said. “It doesn’t make the bad any less bad. Wonderful stuff got done, but unfortunately it’s got a black mark on it.”

When reached via cellphone last week, Kenneth Spaeth said he could not comment on the investigation or other aspects of the case, but that he wished the organization well.

“All I can say is that I wish nothing but the best for the food pantry,” he said. “It’s just a terrific organization, and I wish nothing but the best for the people that are running it as well as for the patrons. That was something that was near and dear to Maria’s heart and I know she’d want to see it prosper and continue on without her.”

Delaney has used his property as a private firing range, but now wants to open it up to the public.

Attorney Daniel Kramer of Yorkville represented Delaney during the meeting, and discussed the issue of accessing the site from Dobson Lane.

The property that the range would sit on is landlocked, and Kramer suggested that the best way to

A Kendall County zoning panel has declined to recommend approval of a special use for a shooting range in the southern part of the county.

Landowner Robert Delaney has requested turning his property at 16502 Church Road in Lisbon Township into a full-time gun range called Dirt Road Range, requiring a special use zoning from the county. The land is currently zoned for agricultural use, according to county documents.

The county’s Regional Plan Commission voted 3-2 at a Nov. 30 meeting against recommending approval of the zoning to the County Board. Commission members Tom Casey, Roger Bledsoe and Claire Wilson voted against recommending approval, while members Larry Nelson and Budd Wormley voted in favor of approval. Chairman Bill Ashton voted “present.”

The proposal will now go before a special use hearing officer on March 27 at 7 p.m. Following that process, the proposal will be reviewed by the County Board’s Planning, Building and Zoning Committee and then the full county board.

The proposal faced fierce opposition by neighbors at a July 27 commission meeting. The issue was continued, changes were made to the proposal and it was

access the site is using a private drive that is shared with the landowner to the west of the shooting range property. That access would be initially gravel, but the commission recommended it be tar and chip or hard surface.

Kramer said they looked into going east, but that it’s “not in the picture” as they would have to get easement permission from ComEd. It would be “cost prohibitive” to build a road all the way to Church Road to the west, Kramer said.

Greg Peterson, the landowner to the west of the property, told the commission that he did not want a hard surface road on his property. Peterson pointed out that Delaney owns the property north of his and could use that to access Church Road.

“What they wanna do is use my driveway,” Peterson said.

Tim Wallace, a Whitewillow Road resident and the chief of the Lisbon-Seward Fire Protection District, said the district requested the property have a Knox Box, which is a master key system used by fire departments to gain entry to a property during an emergency. He said they also requested fire extinguishers on the property, and an annual fire inspection.

Wallace said he has a business on Whitewillow Road, and has had customers visiting his business on Saturdays who ask about the noise coming from the firing range property.

Kramer said nothing the fire department asked for was “unreasonable.” He said there would also be a defibrillator on site.

ur society often glories in war and the waging of war, and we justiďŹ ably praise the virtues of the good soldier, whose courage and ďŹ ghting skills help to keep us safe and protect us from our enemies. But should we not also praise those who devote their lives to peace and who try to ďŹ nd peaceful means of resolving disputes? Wise Generals agree that war should be a last resort, and in our personal lives too we should ďŹ nd every means of avoiding conict before coming to blows or even engaging in verbal warfare.

Are you a source of peace and calmness at work and in your home or a source of strife and division? There are those who seem to thrive on strife and like to argue and sow division wherever they go. If you can’t turn them around with a kind word or a soft look, then it might be best to just leave them alone. It’s hard to have a ďŹ ght all by yourself, though some people try hard to do just that. Strive for peace in your life and see if it doesn’t spread to those around you. – Christopher Simon

Area features several festive holiday displays SHAW MEDIA From the thousands of twinkling lights at Sandwich’s Festival of Trees to the Dole Mansion’s elegant holiday display, community spirit is shining bright in Northern Illinois. But the beauty of the season doesn’t stop there.

Family homes in Campton Hills and Geneva have large light displays timed to seasonal songs interspersed with quotes from holiday movies. New Lenox boasts the country’s largest illuminated Santa.

Whichever direction you head

this holiday, make a plan to stop at festivities here,” said Sibhan Cottone, one of these community treasures: executive director of Lakeside Legacy

THE DOLE MANSION

At Lakeside Legacy Arts Park in Crystal Lake, the Dole Mansion exudes holiday spirit with decorated trees indoors and out and winter-themed art displays. The Dole Gallery features “Disturbances in the Field,” a display of photography-based digital images by Sara Risley, while “Watercolors of Winter” by various members of the Lake Region Watercolor Guild has taken over the Sage Gallery.

“We openly invite the community to come and see the beautiful holiday decorations and experience the

Arts Center. “It truly is a magical experience.”

The mansion is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and closed Jan. 2.

FESTIVAL OF TREES

Sandwich’s Festival of Trees is hosted by the Sandwich Park District at Timber Creek Inn and Suites, 3300 Drew Ave., Sandwich.

This year, the festival features 60 Christmas trees varying in size, shape, color and artistic medium that were decorated by local businesses and organizations.

The majority of trees are artificial, but some are made from unusual materials, including the Sandwich Public

Library’s tree made entirely of book pages and Village Ace Hardware’s tree made from a re-purposed ladder.

Other trees are decorated with artwork, crafts and ornaments that represent the creators’ theme: Dr. Mark Weinhold’s dental office’s tree had toothpaste, toothbrushes and dental floss; members of the Fair City Quilters Guild knitted and crocheted their tree’s ornaments.

The Festival of Trees is open during hotel hours through Dec. 28.

LARSEN LIGHT SHOW

Brian Larsen’s Light Show will continue in Campton Hills this year.

The show takes place from 5 to 10:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and

Excellence in Safety Earns Rush-Copley Top Hospital Recognition

Thursday, December 15, 2016

At Rush-Copley, there’s a culture dedicated to excelling in patient safety. This year, our strong commitment earned the medical center top honors for safety from The Leapfrog Group, an independent national hospital watchdog organization. In fact, Rush-Copley is one of only three Illinois teaching hospitals—and one of 10 in the state—to be named a Top Hospital. This elite national distinction is given to hospitals with the highest quality in the nation. These hospitals demonstrate exceptional performance across significant areas of care including safety, surgical outcomes, maternity care and leadership. Data is gathered and publicly reported through the Leapfrog Hospital Survey.

What does this mean for you? Simple. It means you can have even greater confidence in your care.

Connect with top quality hospital care. To learn more, visit rushcopley.com/TopHospital.

• HOLIDAY Continued from page 26 from 5 p.m. to midnight Fridays through Sundays through New Year’s Day. It is 25 minutes long and features a medley of seasonal songs interspersed with quotes from holiday movies, Larsen said. The show takes place at his home, 42W891 Beith Road, Campton Hills. Tune into 88.5-FM to hear music timed to the light display.

In 2013, Larsen won his segment of ABC-TV’s “The Great Christmas Light Fight.” This will be the 11th year of the show. This year, the show features shorter music and light cycles, as well as assistance from traffic control officers to alleviate traffic and safety issues.

For the past 13 years, the display, with its polar bears and penguins, has included an official drop-off point for the Marine Toys for Tots, and the family’s event website at twasthenightbefore.com notes a total of almost 5,000 toys has been collected for Fox Valley kids in need.

COUNTRY’S LARGEST ILLUMINATED SANTA

The largest illuminated Santa Claus in the U.S. makes its home in New Lenox.

The 36-foot-tall, 5,000-pound, 18,500-LED-light Santa was revealed in November at New Lenox Village Hall.

Mayor Tim Baldermann said hundreds of people have come to view and get pictures next to the giant Santa.

It will cost the village about $300,000 over three years to pay for the entire arrangement out of its marketing budget with the help of some private donations. The display includes an ice skating rink and a mailbox for children to send letters to Santa.

Mid-Day Play helps FVOAS SANDWICH RECORD Dog owners and their pups enthusiastically helped Mid-Day Play donate to Fox Valley Older Adult Services.

On Dec. 3, many dog owners brought their pups to be photographed with Santa at the Sandwich Fire Department.

Lanette Yingling, owner of MidDay Play, organized this fundraiser for FVOAS. Mid-Day Play is located just west of the Sandwich Fairgrounds and offers hours of stimulating doggie play at a dog friendly facility.

The generosity of both business and private donors has enabled FVOAS, for the past 44 years, to help seniors continue to live vital and independent lives. Through active adult activities at the Senior Center, adult day service and home services, now including 24/7 private home services, FVOAS and its partner, Voluntary Action Center, assist thousands of seniors in DeKalb, Kane, Kendall, LaSalle and Bureau counties.

FOOD

Wishbone snapping rooted in ancient Italy

By LISA ABRAHAM More Content Now The holidays give us many culinary “fun facts” to chew on, including one of my favorites: The legend of the wishbone.

The forked-shaped bone – which joins a turkey’s two clavicles – is officially named the furcular. Of course, “snapping the furcular” doesn’t sound nearly as much fun as “snapping the wishbone.”

When I was in grade school, a common science experience involved soaking the wishbone in vinegar for a week or so. The bone would emerge as flexible as a rubber band, and someone would always bring one to school to show off the scientific properties of acid on bone.

Plenty of folklore and history websites detail wishbone traditions.

A little further back from my school days, in Victorian times, women would take the wishbone and tack it over the front door. For maiden women, legend had it that the next man to pass under the door

Karen Barefoot - FreeImages.com

would result in a match. For married women, the bone was expected to yield children.

We have the Etruscans, an ancient

Italian civilization, to thank for the wishbone tradition, which began with the chicken, not the turkey.

Etruscans held the chicken in high

regard, believing that the bird could predict the future. They would save a chicken’s wishbone and stroke it for good luck. According to legend, fights often ensued, resulting in the wishbone-breaking competitions that we know today. The tradition spread from the Etruscans in modern-day Tuscany to Rome – and, from there, across Europe and to England, where early settlers brought the tradition with them to America.

Of course, when the Pilgrims arrived, they found plenty of wild turkeys, not chickens. What good fortune for them: The turkey’s wishbone is much larger than the chicken’s.

If you plan to break a wishbone with someone this year, you should let the bone dry for a few days.

The dried bone will provide a crisp snap during battle, giving someone a lucky break – but not the turkey.

Hand pruners can be used on ornamentals, in the vegetable garden and on perennial flowers.

DOWN THE GARDEN PATH Richard Hentschel no limitation on branch size (within reason of course), while a pole pruner is again limited by capacity. Also consider whether the gardener is leftor right-handed, if the pruners can be sharpened, if there are sizes to fit all hands, and if replacement parts are available.

Garden tools that make it easier on our bodies also may be considered.

Kneeling pads help out the knees and kneeling stools help us get up and down. Ergonomic cultivation tools use the larger muscles in our arms rather than our hands and wrists. Sun hats shade our eyes from UV rays and keep the sun off our necks, avoiding that early spring sunburn. Keeping those garden tools handy also makes the gardening chores go quicker. Consider adding one of the many “tool keepers” available. Perhaps trade in the standard five-gallon bucket you already use for a bucket with a seat.

Compost bins also make good gifts for gardeners. Perhaps starting a com-

post pile is in the future plans or that just piling up the material in the yard is not an option. You can find many kinds of compost bins. Some have doors at the base to allow gardeners to remove finished compost, and others are turned to keep the materials mixed and, in theory, get to a finished product sooner. There are round ones, square ones, ones made out of plastic, ones out of wire. Perhaps a gift card to the local lumber store for making one out of wood along with a design is in order.

Rain barrels and larger water storage systems are also trending.

All kinds of gardens benefit, with the exception of the vegetable garden.

One more gift idea is that of a gift card from the favorite garden center for next spring. If the gift is too big for under the tree, put a picture of the item in a holiday card and hang that from the tree.

Upon completion, they should know that caliber refers to the diameter of their gun’s barrel, which is also the diameter of the bullets that pass through it. As for bullets, there are many types. The bullet itself is the metal projectile while the entire thing is known as the cartridge.

Ballistic Tip, Full Metal Jacket, Hollow Point, Open Tip and Soft Point are some ammunition types. You can learn a great deal about ammunition when talking to the experts at Firearm Safety Group. They can advise you on what ammo to practice with and what to use for self-defense and much more.

There are ways to gain a better understanding of ammunition, and that’s one of the topics covered thoroughly in the introduction classes at the Firearm Safety Group. Those who attend “Intro to Pistol,” “Intro to AR- www.firearmsafetygroup.com 15,” “Women Only Intro to Pistol” and (630) 552-8252

Shopping for the gardener in the family this holiday season? There are more gardening tools out there than you can imagine. There are tools for the vegetable garden, flower beds, trees, shrubs and evergreens. And, there are tools for every job in the yard.

When choosing a gift, consider giving a tool that has several uses. For example, hand pruners can be used on our ornamentals, in the vegetable garden and perennial flowers. Generally, bypass pruners can be used on young tender growth through woody stems and branches. Anvil-type pruners have limitations as the plant parts become woody.

Hand pruners are limited to what you can prune using one hand.

Long-handled bypass pruners are the next step up, limited only by cutting head capacity and your own strength.

Hand pruners and the smaller long-handled pruners are great to get any gardener started with newer landscapes and plantings. If the yard is more established, then bigger versions of pruners may be given.

Got larger trees to prune? Then consider giving a pole saw or pruner. With a pole saw there is almost

Some of the math learning activities were Pass the Pigs, Bingo, Dice Games, Light It Up!, War, Building Christmas Trees with Pipe Cleaners and Cylinder Telescopes, Catapults, Paint by Number, Geometric Shape Yoda, Mystery Pictures, and Race to Rudolph.

JV wrestlers compete at Byron Invite

Healthier squad ready for Seneca

SANDWICH RECORD

Sandwich Middle School varsity:

The wrestling team competed in several competitions this past weekend.

The varsity squad beat Lake Villa 52-47, lost to Grayslake 38-66, and lost to Deer Path 40-60.

Winning matches against Lake Villa were: Miles Corder, Manny Mandel, Kaiden Kern, Romeo Tornga, Liam Correa, Evan Reilly, Ian McCombs, Nolan Reilly and Justin Avery. Winning matches against Grayslake were: Miles Corder, Manny Mandel, Kaiden Kern, Romeo Tornga, Liam Correa, Evan Reilly and Nolan Reilly.

Winning matches against Deer Path were: Manny Mandel, Kaiden Kern, Romeo Tornga, Evan Reilly, Liam Correa, Bailey Sherman and Jacob Howard.

Sandwich Middle School JV: The JV squad wrestled at the New Lenox Tournament. Placing in the tournament were: First place – Dalton Sherman and Ashlyn Strenz. Second place – Carter Wallace, Leshaun Glenn, Garret Rheude and Nolan Bobee. Fourth place – Sy Smith.

A week-long schedule break should result in positive dividends for a depleted Sandwich boys basketball team.

The Indians overcame injuries and illness through the first two weeks of the season to post back-to-back wins last week, and now look for big momentum in its home opener Friday against Seneca.

“Our defense has been there all year, but we’ve struggled to score.

When you struggle to score, your defense starts slacking,” Sandwich coach Brennan Callahan said. “I think you’ll see our offense pick up, and with that will come the defense. Seneca is going to be a tough team to play, but we’ll be ready. We’ve had a long enough break to prepare for it.”

That game will also serve as Sandwich’s final game until the Plano Christmas Classic tips off on Dec. 26 – giving the Indians another 10-day layoff.

“This is the first time we’ve been healthy in two weeks. We had two of our top six guys out, so we’re just starting to roll right now,” Callahan said. “I wish we started out the season rolling

“This is the first time we’ve been healthy in two weeks. We had two of our top six guys out, so we’re just starting to roll right now. I wish we started out the season rolling like we are, but everything is starting to click. With the talent we have, it’s only going to get better.”

Brennan Callahan Sandwich boys basketball coach like we are, but everything is starting to click. With the talent we have, it’s only going to get better.”

Jordan Isham worked his way back onto the floor after an ankle injury and scored six points against Coal City, while Tony Taylor is back in the mix after a week-long illness took him out of the rotation.

With a short-handed lineup, Sandwich’s defense has allowed an average of 40 points per game, which has helped the Indians hold on to a .500

start through eight games.

“We were struggling with our offense, so keeping people around that 40-point mark is where we want to be,” Callahan said. “Obviously better teams are going to score more, but our offense is starting to roll now too so hopefully we can put more points up there.”

The Indians put together back-toback wins last week, defeating Westmont and Coal City in a pair of road games.

On Dec. 6, Sandwich used a 16-point second quarter to take a 25-14 halftime lead and cruise to a 56-40 win over the Sentinels. Jackson Smith (14 points) and Jimmy Braddish (13 points) led the offense, as Smith went 9 for 10 at the foul line.

On Dec. 9, Sandwich knocked in 21 points in the third quarter and 24 in the fourth to break open a game against Coal City on the way to a 65-42 win.

Smith had 21 points – 17 in the second half – to lead the Indians while Andrew Price scored 18 in the win.

“We’ve got three or four scoring threats, but no one has been hitting on all cylinders,” Callahan said. “On Friday, we saw that at Coal City with Jackson and Price rolling. That’s huge for us.”

GIRLS BASKETBALL

Coal City puts end to Indians’ win streak Sandwich previously had 37-18 win vs. Westmont

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com The Sandwich girls basketball team put together a three-game win streak before a trip to Coal City broke the streak last week.

The Indians (4-4, 3-1 Interstate Eight Conference) played a close first half with the Coalers on Dec. 8 and led 32-31 late in the game, but Coal City scored the final points of the night to escape with a 36-32 victory.

Sarah Ness led Sandwich with 11 points, and all 11 Indians reached the scoring column.

“Our press was not as effective as it had been in the previous two games, but still had its moments,” Sandwich coach Chris Johnson said. “We got into some foul trouble in both halves again by reaching and not moving our feet.

This allowed Coal City to reach the double bonus. We also still turned the ball over too many times.

“Our defense is again our strong point, limiting Coal City to just three baskets in the second and third quarters, and only one basket in the fourth. But at the same time we can’t allow ourselves to foul so much to give them too many free throw attempts in place of those baskets,” Johnson added.

On Dec. 5, Sandwich posted its third straight win with a 37-18 victory at Westmont. The Indians shot 10 of 14 from the free-throw line, and were

led offensively by Maddie Dawson (11 points), Ness (10 points) and Ezbeydy Rivera (8 points).

“We held Westmont to six baskets with seven free throws made, and they did not score more than two baskets in any quarter. When we are working, we can shut people down,” Johnson said.

“Another positive from tonight is that all seven of the regular varsity players scored again. We still do share the ball well and everyone is more than capable of being the leading scorer on any given night.”

Sandwich was slated to face Lisle and Seneca in conference play before entering the Ottawa Christmas Classic. Tournament play begins on Dec. 17 against Lincoln-Way West at noon, and continues on Dec. 21 at 6 p.m. with a pool play game against Morris.

BOYD PINS DOWN TITLE

170-pounder named Most Outstanding; Tommy Dale wins at 145

By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com After stumbling earlier in the week during a triangular meet, Sandwich’s Dylan Boyd made a bold statement at the Plano Reaper Classic.

Boyd pinned three opponents and won a fourth bout by tech fall to dominate the 170-pound bracket in the tournament last Saturday in Plano and capture the Most Outstanding Wrestler award for the upper weights.

“He was doing real well last week and went 4-0, but he stumbled in the duals and was out of it mentally. It was nice to see him bounce back and come out with a great showing like he did,” Sandwich coach Josh McCarty said. “It was awesome for him to win his first tournament and get that award.”

Boyd won by tech fall over Princeton (16-0) to open the bracket before pinning Sterling Newman (1:57) and East Aurora (1:17). In the finals, he took down Aurora Central Catholic’s Garrett St. Clair in 4:50.

Sandwich entered just six wrestlers into the Reaper Classic, but all six reached the podium to score a total of 130.5 points and put the Indians in fifth place in the 20-team field. Gibson City (GCMS) won the team title with 156.5 points, while Erie-Prophetstown (153), Aurora Christian (144) and Rich South (138) rounded out the top four.

“We have low numbers and high injuries on varsity, so we’ve focused a lot on individual success,” McCarty said.

“I think they did a fine job.”

In addition to Boyd, Sandwich had a second tournament champion with Tommy Dale winning at 145 pounds.

Dale opened with a 20-6 major decision win over ACC, and a first period pinfall against Chicago Phillips set up a key semifinal match against Princeton’s Austin Wetsel. Dale won a 3-2 decision to reach the finals where he won a 9-5 decision over Hoopeston’s Christian Chandler.

“In the semifinal match, he pulled the kid who is ranked No. 2 in Class 1A from Princeton, so it was nice to see him go against a good kid like that and close the match and get the job done,” McCarty said of Dale. “He kept pushing all the way through to the finals.”

Cael Schindelbeck captured second place at 106 pounds after dropping his finals match to ACC by pinfall, and

Sandwich’s Cael Schindlebeck gets some advice from Coach Josh McCarty in the 106-pound championship bout against Aurora Christian’s Cameron Johnson.

Sandwich now looks ahead to the Stillman Valley Tournament at 9 a.m. on Saturday. The Indians have one more date on their 2016 calendar, hosting Genoa-Kingston and Ottawa Marquette on Dec. 20. Sandwich will return to action on Jan. 5 in Peotone.

Tyler Schindlebeck took third at 113 pounds as he bounced back from a semifinal loss to win a 7-3 decision over Chicago Kelly in the finals.

“It’s nice to have Cael up at high school now. He and Tyler make each other better, and I like to see that sibling rivalry; they definitely have it,” McCarty said. “They get after it at practice and it moves over to the matches.

They’ve both done an astonishing job this season.”

Jacob Newberry captured fourth place at 126 and Zach Reyes was third at 160. “[Newberry] wrestled as a freshman, but did not wrestle last year. This year he’s getting back into it, and he’s starting to catch up to what he lost tak-

ing a year off. It’s nice to see him come out and place,” McCarty said. “Zach was sick all weekend. I was waiting for him to tell me he had to sit out, but he wrestled all weekend and pushed through. That says a lot about his mental toughness.”
