Woodstock police officers will be outfitted with body cameras in a move city officials said is aimed at ensuring accountability from police and members of the public alike.

Each of the Woodstock Police Department’s patrol officers will be issued body-worn cameras in the coming months after the City Council unanimously approved their purchase Oct. 18. Twentyeight cameras, a 16-bay kiosk and software will cost the city about $32,000, with $9,600 of that expense being offset by a grant from ComEd and the Metropolitan Mayor’s Caucus.

Police Chief John Lieb said the department expects to receive the cameras in November and begin what he termed a “soft opening” period in which officers will be trained as to how to use them while on patrol. e cameras officially will be put into service in early 2017. e department’s squad cars

Every Tuesday night from May through October, classic car enthusiasts gather at Offsides Sports Bar and Grill, 680 S. Eastwood Drive, Woodstock, to hang out, eat and show off their cars.

Woodstock car enthusiast Deb Klein organizes the weekly event. In addition to welcoming the drivers, new and old, Klein facilitates a 50/50 raffle each cruise night, with proceeds earmarked for the Woodstock Food Pantry.

“We’re not a car club,” said Klein, “just miscellaneous car people with a heart of gold.”

She also runs the car show on the Square each summer. is year the proceeds from the show and everything collected during the cruise nights totaled $5,385, plus an additional $350 collected on the spot. On Oct. 18, she and the cruise night regulars gathered to present a check to the Woodstock Food Pantry. Jackie Budmayr, accepted the check on behalf of her husband

already are outfitted with cameras on their dashboards, but Woodstock police will need to learn when and how to use the new body-worn cameras, which do not automatically store video but which will retain 30 seconds of footage prior to being activated by an officer.

“All the systems offer pre-record,” said City Manager Roscoe Stelford.

“So as long as there’s power going to the camera, it was recording even though the officer wasn’t telling it yet to record. If something occurred and then he turned it on, it still has 30 seconds of footage recorded.”

northwest on Highway 14, according to a statement from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.

Wiesbrock was deceased by the time emergency workers arrived on the scene. McHenry County Coroner Anne Majewski said he died from multiple blunt force injuries to his head, chest, abdomen and aorta. e driver of the semi-truck, a 44-year-old man from Wahpeton, N.D., was uninjured. His truck ended up in a nearby farm field after he

applied the brakes and swerved in a failed attempt to avoid hitting the car, police said. e truck driver is cooperating with the investigation. Police said drugs and alcohol do not appear to be a factor in the crash.

Deputies from the MCSO and fire personnel from the Woodstock/Fire Rescue District were called to the scene of the crash at 10:49 a.m. e crash was investigated by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Crash Investigations Unit, with assistance from the Illinois State Police Truck Enforcement Unit and the McHenry County Coroner’s Office.

“I don’t fear this development. I actually welcome it, but I think we want to do it our way, the right way, and trust your judgment.”

- Councilman Mike Turner Reliable mechanisms for automatically activating the cameras — when, for instance, a police officer unholsters a gun — don’t yet exist, Stelford said, and so officers will need to manually switch them to record.

Officers also will need to announce when they are recording.

When they know cameras are rolling, “there could be some change in public responses … maybe for the better,” Councilman Mark Saladin

said. e WPD is working with the Harvard Police Department, which already has body cameras for its police, to learn from them how best to implement the program, Lieb said.

Councilman Mike Turner, acting as mayor pro-tem in Mayor Brian Sager’s absence, said he was encouraged by the camera program but wanted the council to be aware of any problems that could arise from its implementation.

“If there’s issues or concerns you have, I would like them brought to us,” Turner told Lieb. “… I don’t fear this development. I actually welcome it, but I think we want to do it our way, the right way, and trust your judgment.”

Minooka-based Battery Jack Inc. was awarded the contract.

Incident with juveniles happened at Plum Tree National

By Katelyn Stanek THE INDEPENDENT

A 25-year-old Harvard man was arrested Oct. 16 following an

incident with a pair of juveniles during a Halloween event at Plum Tree National, 19511 Lembcke Road.

Fernando Sanchez-Mercado, of the 300 block of Admiral Drive, was arrested by deputies from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office at around 10:30 p.m. and charged with battery and assault, Class A misdemeanors, and disorderly conduct, a

Class C misdemeanor.

Sanchez-Mercado, a patron at Plum Tree’s seasonal ScaryTown Scream Park attraction, allegedly made physical contact “of an insulting or provoking nature” with a female juvenile who also was a patron at the park, according to Deputy Aimee Knop of the sheriff’s office.

Sanchez-Mercado also allegedly took a piece of fencing and brandished it at a male juvenile. e arrest was the only one at ScaryTown made by sheriff’s deputies this year, Knop said.

Sanchez-Mercado was taken to the McHenry County Jail. He posted $150 bond. His court date is set for Nov. 8.

for utilities, bus passes and medical bills.

WACM has been raising funds to help the needy in Woodstock and Wonder Lake for more than 30 years. Its mission is to raise awareness about hunger, and fundraise to help those affected. e group is made up of eight local churches and many community volunteers.

“I would say our mission is very different. Every single bit of money that we raise stays right here in our community. We spend very little money on advertising. Every penny we raise goes to food, utilities, gas and bus passes to the needy in Woodstock and Wonder Lake,” said Erica Schwanke, secretary of WACM. On average, WACM provides help to 120 children and 111 adults monthly.

About 14 percent of citizens in the Woodstock area are living below the poverty line, according to WACM.

He lived a beautiful life, earmarked with ingenuity and integrity. He celebrated crowning achievements such as winning the 1993 AMA National Ice Race on a bike of his design. He developed an unparalleled respect in his industry. There was joy in his eyes when he found the perfect motorcycle for a rider, sometimes dedicating weeks to developing a bike for someone he had just met. As they rode away, he would look on in humble gratitude. The name Cycle Craft says it all. The man was the embodiment of dedication to the craft.

His passing leaves a great void in the hearts of family and friends, especially his twin brother, Lance, a lifelong friend and playmate. They shared the love of everything mechanical, especially motorcycles. The brothers will miss the dream of sharing their retirement together.

His dedication and contributions to his family, his craft and Woodstock will often be remembered, so many a times when the memories are worn.

Go, Cubs, go Whether you are a long-suffering, eternally optimistic Cubs fan, or you pay homage to a different team, living in this neck of the woods it’s nearly impossible to avoid being swept up in Cubs fever.

What’s not to love? Hollywood couldn’t have come up with a more compelling story; a team with a 71 year dry spell because of a curse caused by a goat? ey now have a chance at winning the World Series, the team’s first in 108 years.

So many fans never had the opportunity to experience the joy that Cubs fans are living this week. Stories abound of elderly fans whose dying wish was to see the Cubs win, or just play in the World Series once in their lifetime.

But this week wishes are coming true for young and old alike. Faithful fans range from those that first followed the team on the radio and black and white TV sets, to those who stream the video on their I phone.

Showing Cubby pride knows no bounds. Here in Woodstock, our staff has witnessed an executive wearing a jersey over his business suit, a church that features “Go Cubs!” prominently on their marquis and a pair of WHS students that showed up to prom a few years back showing their spirit – he in white baseball pants and a blue satin vest with a Cubs logo, and she in a Cubs jersey-topped formal dress.

Living with mottos like, “Better luck next year...”

Cubs fans are truly in love with their team and show their pride, even in the lean years. Visits to the friendly confines to see their beloved team play is an annual ritual. Unfortunately, with a ticket price of $2,300 plus for standing room only, the majority of those fans won’t have a chance to see a World Series game in person, but you can bet they’ll be crowding in Wrigleyville each night just to be close to the boys in blue. e city will be crowded and alive with excitement, and most likely Woodstock will experience some of the effects as well. Cubs fever is something to share and bars and restaurants broadcasting the game will no doubt be packed with excited fans.

So bask in the glow of Cubby blue, jump on the bandwagon if you’re not already on board, and join in a chorus of “Go Cubs Go.”

Franks is a chance to change course McHenry County stands at a crossroads, and in the coming election, we have the opportunity to make a break with the leaders who have burdened us with some of the highest property taxes in the country. is is driving residents and employers out in droves and further increasing the taxes of those who have stayed.

Electing Jack Franks County Board chairman is our opportunity to change course. He wants to aggressively cut taxes and bring some private-sector common sense to county government, using this model to show all taxing bodies that they can do more with less, just like families must.

As in every time when such an opportunity exists, we have the chance to keep the status quo. If you vote for Mike Walkup, you're doing exactly that.

Vote for Jack Franks.

The real truth about Benghazi I’m sick and tired of the Republican Party and Patricia Smith “blaming” Hillary Clinton for the death of our American men at Benghazi.

The cure for glossophobia “People think actresses find public speaking easy, and it’s not easy at all; we’re used to hiding behind masks.” — Jane Fonda “I never, ever wanted to be an actress! Public speaking and acting make me want to vomit… When it comes to public speaking, I stumble on my words,

Joe Klein, who works at Time magazine, has come out about the truth of Benghazi in his article published Aug. 1, 2016.

He says, and I quote directly from him comments: “Grief can do terrible things to the mind and soul.

I can’t imagine why Smith has fixed on Clinton, who was an extremely peripheral figure in the failure to secure the Benghazi station: matters of consular security never reach her level of seniority – and, more to the point, the significant operation in Benghazi was run by the CIA, which should have been responsible for the security. David Petraeus was director of Central Intelligence at that point, and no one blames him for the ambush, nor should they. But Clinton has Republicans frothing, despite a raft of investigations that showed no culpability on her part. And yet the Republican Party, to its everlasting shame, decided to exploit a slander promulgated by a distraught mother as one of the opening salvos in its convention. … e Benghazi attack was part of the massive riots across the region that night in response to an anti-Islamic video.”

So here lies the truth.

Donald Faes, Woodstock sweat, and pull at my clothes.” — Kelly Clarkson It’s called “glossophobia.” ere’s no telethon for it, and no pill or injection that’ll prevent it.

But even famous people like Jane and Kelly suffer from it. Yes, it’s the dreaded fear of public speaking. But the good news is that for most of us, there is a cure. More Please see A Musing 7HNL

on that in a minute.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really common fear and when you think about it, it makes sense. For most of us, the ďŹ rst time we spoke up after being born, somebody slapped us. Yes, it was a doctor, but still â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a newborn, you deserve more positive encouragement when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re crying out loud, for crying out loud.

Unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a hermit, you probably have to speak with one or more people every day. At what point do you become nervous? Is it based on the number of people youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking with? Do you feel less anxious if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve prepared a presentation in advance, or if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just speaking off the cuff in a team meeting or in an elevator with your boss? Do you start feeling uncomfortable after youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been talking for 60 seconds or more?

Previously in this column, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve admitted that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a bit of a ham since I was about 5 years old and sang â&#x20AC;&#x153;All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teethâ&#x20AC;? at a retirement home. At that age, I was basically a â&#x20AC;&#x153;ham-letâ&#x20AC;? before I knew who Hamlet was. But as the years went by, I developed some bad speaking habits. I either went into

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small miracle our three sons and their families live within an hour and a half of Woodstock. is week, I saw all of them, our three daughtersin-law and all 10 of our grandchildren. Teddy, 5, the next to the youngest grandchild, was with my husband, Jim, and me Friday night to Sunday afternoon. Saturday afternoon, the three of us took a ride just north of the Illinois-Wisconsin state line looking for migrating sandhill cranes. We were successful, but my greatest joy was seeing those large, graceful birds and rural Wisconsin through Teddyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes.

He asked if he could use my cellphone to take photos of the cranes. He not only photographed the cranes, he took photos of barns and farm equipment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all from the back seat of our SUV. He was intent about his task. He asked Jim to stop from time to time and to even back up for a better shot. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all on my phone. More than a blessing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small miracle.

way too much detail, taking ďŹ ve minutes to make a point that I made four minutes before, or Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d insert those annoying â&#x20AC;&#x153;uhs,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;ahs,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;umsâ&#x20AC;? that are unnecessary ingredients in conversation and especially in a prepared speech (â&#x20AC;&#x153;likeâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;you knowâ&#x20AC;? are other common ďŹ llers).

Hillary Clinton had good advice for people like me: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you're not comfortable with public speaking â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and nobody starts out comfortable; you have to learn how to be comfortable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; practice. I cannot overstate the importance of practicing. Get some close friends or family members to help evaluate you, or somebody at work that you trust.â&#x20AC;? But is it realistic to expect your friends and family members to assess your strengths or where you can improve? If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it probably be just a verbal pat on the back? Probably not.

Time for the cure to glossophobia: Toastmasters (www.toastmasters.org). is professional worldwide organization â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in existence since before the Cubs last won a World Series â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has multiple clubs in McHenry County, including two in Crystal Lake, and each club meets regularly to give members the chance to improve their public speaking and leadership skills in a very supportive environment.

Where else are you applauded when you stand up to speak and when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ďŹ nished, too? Where else can you give a prepared speech and be guaranteed a helpful evaluation from another club member? Where else can you think on your feet to give a one- or two-minute response to a random question (the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Table Topicsâ&#x20AC;? portion of the meeting)? e club Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a member of, Crystal Lake Toastmasters (crystallake. toastmastersclubs.org), meets the ďŹ rst, third and ďŹ fth Saturdays at 8:30 a.m. at Exemplar Financial Network in Crystal Lake. I know that at each meeting Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to laugh, learn something, and get a chance to exercise my mind, mouth and body (e.g., gestures, facial expressions).

Trust me, we have a lot of glossophobia survivors in Toastmasters. ose butterďŹ&#x201A;ies in our stomachs are still there, but we say they now ďŹ&#x201A;y in formation. So come to a meeting. To face your fear, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better â&#x20AC;&#x153;atmos-fear.â&#x20AC;?

Advanced Placement enrollment jumps this year

By Whitney Rupp THE INDEPENDENT

Enrollment in Advanced Placement courses increased considerably at Woodstock and Woodstock North high schools this school year, due in part to two efforts to increase participation.

WNHS saw an increase students taking AP classes of approximately 39 percent over the previous school year, and WHS had a 35 percent jump.

Some of that increase, administrators said, is due to the district’s participation in the Lead Higher Initiative, a program partnered with Equal Opportunity Schools that works toward expanding enrollment in AP courses by eliminating the participation gap for low-income and minority students.

District 200 is among seven districts in the state selected for the

program. Illinois is the only state currently participating in the EOS/Lead Higher Initiative.

EOS uses multiple factors, such as student surveys and teacher recommendations, to identify to school administrators potential AP students who otherwise might not enroll in AP classes.

“We know that those students are smart enough, they’re capable, and their teachers think highly of them.

But for whatever reason, maybe they haven’t had anyone give them that nudge of inspiration to say, ‘You can do this,’” WHS Principal Justin Smith said. “So really, that’s the goal of EOS, to really close the achievement gap, and focuses on balancing out one’s AP enrollment through making sure there is a blending of socioeconomic status and also different demographics to make sure it is reflective of the

“We know that those students are smart enough, they’re capable, and their teachers think highly of them. But for whatever reason, maybe they haven’t had anyone give them that nudge of inspiration to say, ‘You can do this.’”

school.” e Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test, or PSAT, which was administered recently at both schools, also offers insight into a student’s potential for excelling in an AP course. Several survey questions are given along with the test, and results are expected back in early December.

“It’s a pretty remarkable report. We

asked many of our Hispanic students who were recommended by teachers or had high GPAs to take the PSAT even though they had not chosen to on their own,” said WNHS Principal Darlea Livengood. “We went out and recruited them to take the test. So we can now get a report back and say, ‘You have really high potential to be successful in this AP class.’”

Also contributing to the rise in District 200’s overall AP enrollment is the addition of an AP course for freshmen.

AP Human Geography was offered for the first time at the start of this school year, and the number of freshman taking on an AP course was encouraging for the district, with more than 70 freshmen enrolling in the course at each of the high schools.

In all, WNHS has 422 students enrolled in AP courses this year, while WHS has 315.

Fathers’ Club, whose members’ time, dedication and passion for Marian Central are their biggest contributions. eir efforts in fundraising, especially the weekly and all-night bingo programs, have raised millions of dollars for the school over the years. e Hurricane Hall of Fame ceremony honored six individuals and a team.

“We are very proud to have recognized such an amazing group of individuals during Marian’s homecoming weekend,” said Principal Debra Novy. e first inductee was Ed Brucker, the former head football coach and a member of the Illinois State Hall of Fame for coaching baseball and football. He also is a member of the Woodstock High School Hall of Fame.

He accumulated a varsity coaching record of 168-72. His fondest memory is “working with all the great coaches and players and getting second in state with a 13-1 record.” e remaining individual inductees are: Q Carolyn Craig-Villanueve (deceased), class of 1977, for her twotime state qualifying in golf in 1976 and 1977. She also lettered twice at Purdue University.

Q Burke Romkowske, 1969, for his standout football performance during his Marian years as well as four years afterward at Rock Valley College and

New Mexico State University.

Q Jackie Weber, 1981, for her multisport achievements in basketball, volleyball and softball. She was girls basketball MVP for three consecutive years and two-time volleyball MVP. Q Zach Lambo, 2004, for his excellence on the soccer field, where he helped the ‘Canes to regional and sectional championships, as well as qualifying for state his senior year. He was a four year starter at the University of Wisconsin.

Q Erin Sweeney, 2006, was a threesport athlete. is recognition is for her success at golf. She was a threetime MVP as well as a two-time state qualifier in Class AA. She competed at Winthrop University in South Carolina. e final recognition was awarded to the 2005-06 girls volleyball team for finishing with a 33-8 record and moving on to finish second in the state. “ e distinguished alumni and newly inducted members to the Alumni Hall of Fame join an elite group of people who have brought credit and honor to our school,” said Novy. “We are thankful for the impact they continue to have as they inspire our current and future students.”

Challenger Center to host science night

By Janet Dovidio THE INDEPENDENT

e Challenger Learning Center for Science & Technology will host a Family Science Night from 6 to 8:30 p.m.

Friday, Nov. 11. e event, titled “Family Mission – Rendezvous with a Comet,” will allow families, including children in fourth grade and older, to take an up-close look at a comet as it streaks its way across the galaxy. Participants will see what it’s like to plot a course, launch a probe, keep the astronauts safe and learn to work together as a team.

Participants can register for Family Science Night at 815-338-7722 or by downloading the program registration form at www.challengerillinois. org/programs.

“We enjoy doing this particular Family Science Night each year because it is a chance for the public - adults and their children – to come and do a program that is otherwise only reserved for the schools that we serve,” said Rebecca Dolmon, lead flight director.

“It’s nice to be able to offer this to the public twice a year.”

Now in its 15th year, the Challenger Center led its first “mission” Sept. 18, 2001. Some 135,000 to 150,000 people have passed through its doors since that time. More than 300 classes of students, mostly fifth-graders, use the Challenger curriculum and visit CLCS each year.

Film Stripped Productions brings classic movie to life

Embracing the intimacy of local theater, a new theater company is presenting a stage-to-screen adaptation of the 1940 film classic, “His Girl Friday,” 7:30 p.m. ursday, Oct. 27, and Sunday, Oct. 30 at Stage Left Café, 125 Van Buren St. A matinee performance will be presented at 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29.

“His Girl Friday” originally starred Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell. Filled with fast-paced, intelligent patter between the characters, the movie tells the story of a newspaper editor who uses every trick in the book to keep his ace reporter, ex-wife from remarrying. “ e story is relevant today,” said Jeff Cook, the director and creator of Film Stripped Productions. “ ere’s a political angle as well as the media gone amuck.”

Growing up, Cook loved old movies. He was drawn to the compelling stories they told, and he found role models in actors like Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant.

Vision test manufacturer moving to Woodstock

By Katelyn Stanek THE INDEPENDENT

A company that manufactures incredibly precise vision testing devices is relocating to Woodstock from LaSalle.

Precision Vision will complete its move into a former warehouse at 1725 Kilkenny Court in the next month or so, according to the company’s owner,

Ed Kopidlansky of Cary. e family-owned company makes some of the most widely-used vision tests in the world, from basic eye charts like those hanging in a school nurse’s office to color vision tests to low-vision testing tools.

Precision Vision’s tests are accepted by the National Eye Institute and the FDA for clinical trials and research, according to Kopidlansky.

“We make several gold standards used in vision research and the clinical trial world, and individuals and organizations from all over come to us to manufacture their products,” Kopidlansky said. e business is relocating to Woodstock because Kopidlansky wants to

Librarian closes chapter on 32 years of work Julie Fee retires from Woodstock Public Library

After 32 years serving as a reference librarian, Julie Fee has retired and is headed home â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to read a book.

Fee, who was born and raised in Woodstock, attended the University of Illinois and studied anthropology, then completed a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in library science. She started with Woodstock Public Library in 1984, after spending her ďŹ rst few years working for the Chicago Public Library.

Mayor Brian Sager recognized Fee for a service to the city of Woodstock at a City Council meeting Oct. 4. Fee retired from the library Oct. 18.

products. We discussed how pesticides are used on our farms, and how we make management decisions concerning their use. Conservation of natural resources and environmental stewardship is important to farmers, and we were able to tell EPA staff about some of the best management practices in use. ose of us who make our living growing food, fuel and fiber now make up less than 2 percent of the population. ere are very few legislators with any farm background. It’s important that they hear from us directly so that they know what’s happening on the farm and the impact their decisions have on our ability to run a successful farm business. Our farm has been in the family since the 1840s;

like many farmers I know, our goal is to continuously improve the farm and eventually pass it on to the next generation.

Without beneficial legislation and regulation, that will be next to impossible for many farm families. Yes, it’s a busy time of year on the farm with harvest underway. Hopefully the importance of these issues is conveyed when farmers park their tractors and combines for a little while and take time to engage in Washington, Springfield or at home. Indeed, farm families have a lot at stake.

e passage of TPP is something our legislators could do to help farmers that wouldn’t cost a dime. It would allow farmers greater access to markets in the emerging Asia-Pacific region Michele where incomes are Aavang On the Farm rising and there is increasing demand for high-quality protein such as soybeans, pork and beef.

Since 95 percent of all consumers live outside the U.S., the future of agriculture depends on the ability to sell to foreign markets. One farmer in our group talked about how his farm is located near six different export terminals, and described how Illinois is ideally situated with great access to railroads, rivers and highway systems. Expanding demand among the nearly 500 million TPP consumers outside the U.S. would benefit not only farmers, but also our struggling state economy.

Our meeting with the EPA focused on regulations and the registration review process of crop protection

Oct. 26-Nov. 1, 2016

A month ago I traveled to Washington, D.C., with a group of farmers from across the state for the Illinois Farm Bureau’s Leaders to Washington trip.

Our purpose was to advocate for agriculture, Illinois’ leading industry, by fostering relationships and telling our personal stories.

Our group met with 11 members of Illinois’ congressional delegation or their staff. We also met with Sen. Durbin and Sen. Kirk and spent time with staff at the Environmental Protection Agency and United States Department of Agriculture. e main topic of conversation for our Capitol Hill visits was trade agreements, specifically the Trans-Pacific Partnership. It’s a difficult time for agriculture; commodity prices are below break-even; and there aren’t any indicators that the situation will be improving any time soon. Many farmers, including some on our trip, are worried about the future and the ability to keep their farms viable.

Since 30 percent of every dollar of farm income comes from exports, the importance of trade agreements can’t be understated.

One way to help struggling farmers would be to increase export sales.

TLC employees make daring bird rescue

A very daring wildlife rescue took place Sept. 30 at the Hennen Conservation Area in Woodstock. It required the teamwork of four staff members. “ e Land Conservancy’s bookkeeper, Jennifer Martin, noticed

something large and white thrashing in the pond,” said Linda Burkart, TLC’s membership development specialist.

It was a great egret whose foot was stuck under the water, entangled near a dead tree that had fallen into the pond.

“I took my shoes and socks off, rolled up my pants and started crawling out along the dead tree to the egret,” said Executive Director Lisa Haderlein. “I got as close to the bird as I could. I snapped a branch off the tree and used it to get the bird’s foot loose.

I used it to move the bird closer to me so I could grab it. e bird was limp and trembling.”

To get the egret to shore, Haderlein picked up the bird and moved it down the tree a short distance, then scooted

along until she was next to the bird. is process was repeated about 10 times.

“While I was scooting, I hit an especially slick spot and fell in,” said Haderlein. “ e egret was safely on the tree at the time. When I finally got close to shore, [Land Protection Specialist] Linda Balek reached out for the bird, took it to an open area. Jennifer kept it warm with towels.”

Balek took the egret to McHenry County Conservation District’s Wildlife Rehab Center in Wonder Lake.

“We were all happy to hear that the egret was resting and should recover,” said Haderlein.

By Whitney Rupp THE INDEPENDENT

e Lady ’Canes volleyball team finished off their regular season with a perfect conference record, taking down Benet Academy at home on senior night Oct. 18.

Arguably one of the toughest rivals the ’Canes faced all season, Benet took the East Suburban Catholic Conference title in 2015, beating Marian Central in the final conference match of the season. Benet did not give the win to Marian easily, winning the first set 18-25. But coach Laura Watling remained calm after her team struggled to keep up. “ e second set, I wasn’t nervous. I knew we had every ability within us to

come back. We had just made a lot of silly errors. We stayed very focused, executed what we needed to. It all came together,” Watling said. e 2-1 win (25-23, 25-23) moved the Lady ’Canes to an impressive 34-1 for the regular season, and a spotless conference record of 7-0.

Sydney Nemtuda, with 15 kills against Benet, recently set the alltime varsity kills record at Marian

Senior Jacobs followed in sixth place (19:28.00), with freshman

Shannon Koscinski on her heels in eighth (19:30.60).

Also scoring for WHS were sophomores, Julia Walsdorf (21:18.10) and Lauren Wietermann (21:18.30), who came in nearly side-by-side in 34th and 35th.

“I started as a sophomore and I couldn’t even run the whole course. I would never have thought I’d run a 21 [minute race] at Emricson.”

- Emma Bateman, WHS senior e WHS boys team will also be advancing to sectional competition, with a fifth-place finish among a deep field. Scoring runners included junior Anthony omas, 19th (17:41. 50), seniors Jarod Baker, 20th (17:43.20), Justin Kucharski, 28th (18:02.90), Austin Castillo, 29th (18:04.30) and junior Carter Hansen, 33rd (18.20.00). “ e runners all went after it today,” said WHS head coach Jay Fuller. “It was fun.” e race marked the final race at Emricson Park for the seniors.

Reflecting on her cross-country career, WHS senior Emma Bateman said, “I started as a sophomore and I couldn’t even run the whole course. I would never have thought I’d run a 21 [minute race] at Emricson.”

Bateman was happy with her personal record time of 21:49:00.

Woodstock North High School e WNHS girls and boys teams fell short of advancing to sectionals with an eighth place finish for the girls, seventh for boys. e boy’s team, however, did have five boys advance as individuals based on time.

Despite the season coming to an end for most of the runners, team spirit was strong in the WNHS camp. Senior Peyton Wood thought it was fitting to finish her four years of cross-country at their home course in Emricson Park. “A lot of people put their heart out for the team,” she said. “We’re a family.”

Four-year runner Danny Blalock said, “It was nice to run with everyone for the last time as a team.” He recalled how he has run every day for four years from mid-June to October with this team. “It’s going to be weird next

Coach Mike Maloney leaned toward a ground game once he saw what St. Patrick was doing on defense, confident in his line.

“Our guys are starting to step up,” Maloney said. “We’re no longer a young unit that is struggling to get things done. We’re starting to have a comfort zone up front, and that’s allowing our backs to have confidence in the holes and get open faster.”

“We overcame some adversity and key injuries in the middle of the season, but we played hard,” ompson said. “A couple of games we could have won, but we have some excitement and a good foundation going forward.” ompson highlighted the performance of seniors Jake Rowan and Paxson Dechant, who provided
