“On your own power, at the local level, you guys started shaving the fat on your own,” Sanguinetti said. “… You guys are one of the examples that we bring up.”

With 6,963 units of local government, Illinois has the most in the nation, easily eclipsing second-place Texas’ tally of 5,147. Sanguinetti was appointed by Gov. Bruce Rauner to head up a state task force on government consolidation.

“We found we were No. 1 for things we did not quite want to be No. 1 at,” Sanguinetti said.

Still, she said, the task force “discovered something that was truly magnificent” when it came to cooperation between certain local governments.

McHenry County subcontracts a staff member from the SWCD to review wetland permit requirements, a joint venture that earned them one of 27 spots in the 2016 Journal of Local Government Shared Service Best Practices.

the business’ space — up to 51,600 square feet — and allow Piersall to hire about 15 new employees, he said. In addition to boat repairs and indoor and outdoor storage, the new location will offer a full-service RV center, a new and used boat showroom and a store selling boating accessories and other gear. Lake Marine & RV also will fix jet skis and snowmobiles.

Piersall thinks the move to Route 47 makes sense for his business, which he said has grown much too big for its current space.

“I would see 200 or 300 boats coming down Route 47 up to Lake Geneva on a busy weekend, and they weren’t our customers,” Piersall said.

“I thought it would be a good idea to “Since 2012, we’ve had this agreement with the SWCD, and over that time, I’m sure we’ve saved a halfmillion dollars,” said Joanna Colletti, water resources manager and chief stormwater engineer for the county’s Department of Planning and Development. e Task Force on Local Government Consolidation and Unfunded Mandates put out a report in 2015 urging local governments to cut costs by sharing services and asking state lawmakers to make it easier to merge government entities. Locally, a statemandated consolidation of emergency dispatch centers in McHenry County means the Woodstock Police Department will shut down its telecommunications division May 1.

Sanguinetti placed part of the blame for high property taxes in Illinois on redundant layers of government. Her home in Wheaton, she said, is subject to 16 different taxing bodies.

“Local government for me means that 16 units of local government represent all 4-feet-11-inches of me,” she said. “And that’s a lot of different layers, a lot of hands in the pockets of taxpayers when you think of all those units.”

firm represents Piersall’s business.

“We’re very, very happy that Crystal Lake Marine has determined to continue to be a part of the city of Woodstock,” Mayor Brian Sager said.

(An ordinance formally raising water and sewer rates, separate from the budget, was approved unanimously by the City Council at the same meeting.)

Overall, the FY 2017-18 budget is balanced, with revenues expected to increase by about 1 percent over last year’s budget, up to $32.6 million.

Expenditures are projected to total $32 million, a reduction of about 1 percent from last year’s budget. e restoration of the city-owned Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House proved to be a contentious issue, with ompson saying he thought the city was spending too much on the project while ignoring other needs downtown. e budget shows the city spending $430,000 on the Old Courthouse in the next fiscal year, funding for which comes from its Tax Increment Financing District.

John Puzzo, a Woodstock resident, said the Old Courthouse is integral to the Square and worth the city’s investment.

“If you have a classic car and it’s going to hell and you decide that rather than letting it disintegrate, you’re going to fix it, and you start putting money into it — like we’ve put into our Courthouse — you can’t just come to a point where you say we’ve gotta stop,” Puzzo said. “... We can’t abandon that. We can’t. It’s just too important for the city.”

DISPATCH (Continued from page 1)

John Lieb said during a ceremony at a Woodstock City Council meeting. e change comes in response to a mandate from the state of Illinois, which ordered McHenry County’s six emergency dispatch centers be combined into three as part of a push to consolidate government services.

Amy McKendry would have celebrated her 16th year as a dispatcher with the department in July. She said working in Woodstock gave her an advantage when dealing with emergency calls.

“The hugest drawback is my guys, my patrol officers. I have worked with these guys for almost 16 years. I’ve been with my husband for 13. It’s like the divorce you never wanted.�

- Amy McKendry, dispatcher “Someone might [call 911 and] say to me, ‘I’m at the old Die Cast lot.’ I know where the old Die Cast lot is.

Someone from McHenry may have no idea where the old Die Cast lot is,� McKendry said. “I know where the old Harley-Davidson is. I know where the old Farm and Fleet is. at’s one of my biggest fears. I know my town and I’m very protective of my town.�

Grant Havens will be joining McKendry at the new dispatch center. He said NERCOMM has its advantages. “ ere are some positives, I think.

It will be a bigger family,â€? Havens said. “We’re all family here. Instead of maybe two dispatchers [on duty] at a time, we’re going to have four to ďŹ ve or six at a time.â€?

In 2016, the city spent about $773,000 on dispatch center operations, with the Woodstock Fire/ Rescue District kicking in an additional $84,000 for handling its calls.

Yearly expenditures for the city are expected to drop to about $500,000 once NERCOMM is up and running, according to City Council documents, but it will be more expensive in its ďŹ rst year — the city expects to pay an extra $100,000 on things such as new equipment and employee

Woodstock will cover WFRD’s added expenses for the ďŹ rst ďŹ ve years of the deal, city documents show.

Tami Soto won’t be going to NERCOMM, making her one of ďŹ ve WPD dispatchers to take different jobs or retire.

Mark National Volunteer Week by pledging your time In and around Woodstock, a huge amount of the “real work” getting done each and every day comes from volunteers. So during National Volunteer Week (April 23 to 29 this year), we want to take a moment to honor them.

Where would we be without volunteers?

Many of the trademark events in our area run on the energy of volunteers — what would summer in Woodstock be without the Gavers Community Cancer Foundation Barndance, for instance?

All throughout our town, volunteers sit on boards of nonprofits, organize fundraisers and food drives, help at PADS sites and more. Volunteers make up city commissions and the Woodstock School District 200 Board of Education, among other elected and appointed jobs.

Scout and 4-H leaders dedicate their evenings and weekends to the development of children and young adults, as do ParentTeacher Organization members and youth sports coaches.

Social service and environmental groups working for the welfare of the community also depend heavily on volunteers, as do school backers clubs and “friends” groups like the Friends of the Woodstock Public Library, Friends of the Opera House and Friends of the Old Courthouse.

Rather than simply thanking our volunteers, though, those of us who have been putting off joining a service organization, pitching in at a clean-up event or otherwise lending a hand as a volunteer should take this opportunity to finally give of our time and talents. Volunteers make our community what it is, but they can’t get all the real work done themselves.

For almost 50 years my father, a WWII vet, posted the American flag daily. Likewise we have done the same for about 40 years.

On Easter Sunday, our flag disappeared. I am hopeful that it might have been a Patriot Guard Rider who just needed to borrow it to honor a returning soldier. Or perhaps it was a new citizen to our country so grateful to be able to worship and live freely that they borrowed it to help their children understand our many blessings that we

The Man in the Insult Mask “When you enter a room, you have to kiss his ring. I don’t mind, but he has it in his back pocket.”

– Don Rickles on Frank Sinatra at kind of quote is what you expect when you think of “Mr. Warmth,” Don Rickles, who passed away earlier this month at the age of 90. But you can’t always judge a book, or a celebrity, by their cover.

About 11 years ago, the company I worked for sent me to a professional association conference in Las Vegas. Since there weren’t any important education sessions in the evening, I wanted to see some of the shows in what many consider to be the “Entertainment Capital of the World.” I was excited to discover that on the last night I was going to be there, Don Rickles would

have done so little to deserve.

I don’t want to believe someone stole it to dishonor it or as a statement against our country because our flag means a lot to us and to others. Recently a man was parked in our driveway.

When I asked if he needed help he said, “No. I’m a vet and I drive by here twice daily. Occasionally I stop, hoping to shake the hand of the people who honor our country like you do.”

We will have a new flag posted daily again soon.

actor Robert DeNiro: “To know him is a treat. He’s one of the great actors of our time – you ask him!�

Was DeNiro upset? Doubtful, as evidenced by this quote after Rickles’ passing: “He was not only a great friend, he was a great man with a great heart. I really loved the guy. I will miss him.â€? Singer Steve Lawrence, who had known Don for over 60 years, said, “I can only imagine his ďŹ rst conversation with God. He might send him back. I love him and I miss him; the world is a sadder place without him.â€? Penn Jillette, the vocal comedic half of illusionists Penn and Teller, also paid his respects: “Smart, funny, a pro and, most important, deeply and honestly kind. Kind is what matters.â€? And Kevin Pollack, a talented actor who just appeared in WMTC’s production of “9 to 5: e Musical,â€? had the good fortune of being called up on stage at two different

Rickles performances: “He’ll rip you apart in public, but then he puts it aside at the end of the skit and heavily compliments you with love and gratitude.�

As much as I miss Rickles, my main point – yes, I have one – deals with the sharp contrast many of us have between our public and private personas. e Rickles that audiences saw at celebrity roasts, galas and casino ballrooms, and the man that DeNiro, the Newharts, Lawrence and Jillette knew personally seem like they’re from alternate universes. at leads me to wonder, “What will the ‘celebrities’ who know me best say after I pass on? Do they know only the public face I display, or do they know the ‘real’ me?

More importantly, is the private/real me someone I can be proud of?� If there’s a major disconnect between the public and private, it may be time to occasionally take off the public “mask.�

What mask do you put on? Do you automatically paste a smile on, whether it’s a sincere one or not, or is your default facial expression

a big frown? Are there people who know what you’re really like on a day-to-day basis, in good times or bad, and still like or love you anyhow? If not, there’s no time like the present to put your best face forward.

Rickles himself had an interesting thought on aging and death: “Once in a while, when I’m alone, I think about my age. I think, how many more years do I have on this earth?

But I can’t really conceive of dying.

Somehow, in my head, I don’t think I’ll die. I know that everybody dies, of course. I just think that it’ll never come to me. It’s crazy, but there it is.�

You know, I don’t think I want to be a hockey puck anymore; I just have the goal to be like the real Don, who I’m sure is entertaining in the Stardust somewhere.

Even as I am savoring the beauty of spring, summer is beckoning. Last week, I registered four of Cheryl our grandchildren Wormley for STEM summer camps at the Chal- +LJSHYH[PVUZ lenger Learning Center for Science & Technology here in Woodstock.

Students in Woodstock School District 200 have only four more weeks of school – their last day will be May 27. St. Mary School and Marian Central Catholic High School will continue through the ďŹ rst week in June. Graduations this year are: Woodstock North High School Saturday, May 20; Woodstock High School Sunday, May 21; and Marian Central Friday, June 2. e last day of school marks the beginning of summer for some of us.

April 26-May 2, 2017

I truly love this time of year in Woodstock when tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, magnolias, redbuds, quince and many other owering bushes and trees are blooming. Spring is such a reward after winter in northern Illinois.

Winter 2016-2017 was mild, but it was so gray. Spring is such a contrast – bright greens accented with reds, yellows, purples, oranges and pinks. Winter is over. Spring is here.

We have bulbs to thank for our spring owers. ey are a gardener’s dream. Plant them once and they bloom year after year after year. ey require almost zero maintenance – a bit of bone meal from time to time and divide them if you must. Bulbs and their owers have only a few natural predators. Deer ďŹ nd tulips tasty. And from time to time, I’ve had squirrels dig up newly planted bulbs and hungry rabbits lunching on just-out-ofthe-ground tender leaves or stalks.

Since I’m on the topic of hungry animals, my husband, Jim, and I had a furry visitor in our yard last week. It was none other than Woodstock Willie or one of his cousins. He or she, as the case may be, wasn’t interested in our spring owers but seemed to want some greens with roots attached.

Take a walk or drive around town this week and take in the beauty. ere are blooms and blossoms on every street, and the extended corners on and around the Square are very pretty,

Schools District 200 announces last day of school, graduation dates Prom, graduation, eighth-grade promotion and last day of school top list of dates to know

By Sandy Kucharski THE INDEPENDENT

With the end of the school year approaching, many dates with significance to parents of students in District 200 are filling the calendar. Even residents without any current ties to the schools will want to be aware of events such as prom and graduations, as there will likely be an increase in traffic on

those dates. And once summer vacation begins for grade schools, drivers need to be aware of the increased pedestrian and bike traffic by Woodstock children.

When the 2016-17 District 200 calendar was released, it listed the tentative last day of school as May 25, depending on the use of emergency days. Because the district did use one severe weather day, the calendar was amended to show the last day of school as Friday, May 26, a half day for all students.

In a recent news release, District 200 indicated that although they it doesn’t anticipate any changes, the date will remain tentative in case there would be a need for an emergency day before the end of the school year. May 30

to June 2 are reserved as emergency days, if needed. is is also the time of year for each school to host spring music performances, including choir, band and orchestra concerts. Check with individual schools for programs via the district’s website, woodstockschools.org. e building trades program will showcase its work for the year with an open house from 5 to 9 p.m. Friday, May 19, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, May 20 and 21, at 611 Prairie Ridge Drive.

On Saturday, April 29, residents can expect to see high school students around town dressed in their finest, taking advantage of every picturesque photo op that Woodstock has to offer

as WHS and WNHS each host prom that evening.

Graduating seniors – not affected by the possible use of emergency days – have several important days coming up in May. Woodstock High School will hold its senior awards assembly at 9 a.m. ursday, May 4, with Woodstock North High School hosting its assembly that same afternoon at 1:30 p.m.

Graduation weekend will start with WNHS at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 20, followed by WHS at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 21.

HUNTER LOCKWOOD Hunter Lockwood is a senior at Woodstock North High School. He is the son of Jeff and Barb Lockwood, Woodstock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hunter is always willing to try something that we hope all students will do. Because of that willingness, Hunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s math skills have grown tremendously. Hunter is an asset to any classroom; students and staff alike appreciate his classroom contributions,â&#x20AC;? said one of his teachers.

Hunter has been on the honor roll every semester and even nominated for the National Honor Society. He is the treasurer of the NHSC, president of the German Club, and also is a member of the Bass Fishing Club, a Thespian, a Science Olympian and a peer tutor. Hunter enjoys tutoring and is involved with the Boys Scouts as well as the youth group at the First United Methodist Church.

When asked who inspires him, Hunter replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the person that motivates me is actually my 8th grade teacher, Ms. Huffar. I used to be really shy in school. I really never asked for help because of it. When I was in her class she gave me advice and encouraged me, making me feel more comfortable. She inspired me to help others through tutoring and mentoring just like her.â&#x20AC;?

When asked why he feels successful, Hunter replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel successful because I feel confident and I take my work very seriously. I want to become a teacher.â&#x20AC;?

Jazz on the Square marks 10 years of music in Woodstock

By Sandy Kucharski THE INDEPENDENT

Prior to 2007, jazz had an occasional presence in Woodstock, but 10 years ago several enthusiasts insured that jazz would have a strong local presence by forming Jazz on the Square, an organization dedicated to promoting jazz performance and education in Northern Illinois.

It started as a conversation between musician Bill Denk and his wife Erin, a Chicago native who missed having the opportunity to enjoy jazz on a regular basis in Woodstock. ey brainstormed with fellow jazz enthusiasts Randy Robinson, Bob Honesty and Judith Honesty. In 2007 they began hosting a weekly jazz night at Pirro’s Restaurante on Main Street in Woodstock.

“All of a sudden a lot of musicians were showing up. Before we knew it, we had a regular thing,” said Erin Denk.

In 2008, with the help of Jim Hecht, a local lawyer and jazz enthusiast, they incorporated to become Jazz on the Square. ey moved from Pirro’s to their current home, Stage Left Café, and changed the jazz jam to twice monthly. ey also hosted their first Jazz Festival, which consisted of jazz performances at several of the establishments on the Square.

Continuing to move forward, JOTS and I found this was a safe, welcomobtained their 501(c)(3) status in ing environment, so I started attend2009, Northern Illinois’s only jazz ing,” said Kyrouac, a saxophone nonprofit. ey established a mission player. of making jazz available to everyone, Soon after he joined, JOTS was educating the public on all styles of looking to fill board positions.

While there is considerable local talent and participation, JOTS draws from all over the Chicago suburbs. “ e amount of talent that has made their way to Stage Left has been eyeopening,” said Kyrouac. e organization is entirely volunteer-run and donation-funded. ey present their annual Jazz Fest as a gift to the community and rely primarily on door donations, grants and corporate funding.

“We’ve gotten very good at turning small donations into big things,” said Kyrouac.

He said they have some big dreams as they head into the next ten years. eir only limitation is money and manpower. Ideas include sponsoring a school-based jazz festival for area schools and expanding community jazz events, such as bus trips to various jazz performances.

Monthly jazz jams are held from 8 to 11 p.m. the first and third Friday of each month at Stage Left Café, 121 Van Buren St. A $5 admission donation is requested.

JOTS will host a fundraiser from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 29, at Culver’s, 1620 W. Lake Shore Drive, Woodstock. Diners just need to mention that they are participating in the fundraiser and Culver’s will donate a portion of their purchase back to JOTS.

TSP president keeps group vibrant as it celebrates 50 years TownSquare Players, founded in 1967, is the oldest active theatre group in McHenry County, but new blood in the form of leadership of the organization is keeping it vibrant and relevant as the group turns the big 5-0!

TSP president Susan Falbo, like many of the officers and governing board members, is relatively new to the group, but working hard to bring talent and enthusiasm to the organization and its productions. Susan, who along with her family lives in nearby Lake in the Hills, began her association with TSP and the Opera House when she took the position of music director in the 2014 production of “ e Wedding Singer.” Less than a year after that production, Susan was elected to the position of

vice-president of TSP, and in January of 2016 she was named president of the group.

Armed with a music degree from Simpson College in Tony Casalino Iowa, Susan brought her musi- Now Playing cal experience, which includes high school teaching and teaching private lessons in voice and piano, to the group. She served TownSquare as vocal director for their 2015 production of “ e Mikado,” has helped on crews and has helped produce several shows in the past two years.

Two of Susan’s three children

are currently in college. Following in mom’s footsteps, her children have been involved in music in the suburbs for years. She has spent lots of time working with children’s programs that her children were involved in, including “Music on Stage” and the Palatine Children’s Choir. Her youngest has been in several productions at the Paramount eatre in Aurora, so she has spent a lot of time as a stage mom and chauffeur for her son.

As we spoke last week, Susan was most excited about the upcoming TSP Kids Summer Workshop that she and the group has planned for July 24 to 28. is is the third year for their musical theatre workshop, which is open to young performers ages 11 to 18 from McHenry County.

e workshop brings professional performers in to work with the kids on vocal technique, song and audition selections, acting, scene work and backstage technical work. ere is a tuition fee for the program, and information is available at www. townsquareplayers.org.

Susan is very humble about her own work on the TSP programs.

Instead, she turns the conversation to cast members, crew and staff, saying “Everyone does so much.” While I know that is true, I think TownSquare Players has an outstanding leader at the helm, and I look forward to their 50th season of shows starting with the Fall Gala Concert Sept. 9.

After completing a three-year probationary period, four McHenry County College full-time faculty members received tenure status.

Elizabeth Nelson of Woodstock is among the newly tenured MCC faculty. She has lived in Woodstock since 2008 when she started working at MCC as an adjunct reference librarian. She has been full-time cataloging and collection development librarian since 2014.

Nelson earned her Bachelor of Science in mathematics from Benedictine University, a Master of Library Science from Dominican University, and a Master of Arts in history from the University of Nebraska-Kearney.

She is a member of the Program Review Committee and the Textbook Ad Hoc Committee at MCC. She chairs the 2017 EBSCO Award Jury, which is an American Library Association award jury for sponsorships to the ALA Midwinter and Annual conferences.

“I’m really happy to be a part of the MCC community and to have the opportunity to work with amazing students every day,” said Nelson.

Chris Gray, Ph.D., vice president of academic and student affairs, said, ”I congratulate these fine faculty members on their outstanding teaching and admirable commitment to our students. We look forward to their significant contributions to the college in the years ahead.”

MCC instructors are evaluated in four major areas including academic preparation, teaching effectiveness, contributions to the college community and participation in community service. Each instructor also prepared an extensive teaching portfolio.

Therapy dog brings joy to many

By Whitney Rupp THE INDEPENDENT

Ozzie Otter is a mostly carefree, laid-back dog at home, but when someone needs his companionship, he is there to provide it.

Ozzie, a 3-year-old black Labrador retriever, shares his home with three other Labs and his owner, Peggy Roesner.

Roesner, a retired teacher and a lifelong lover of dogs, dedicates nearly all of her time to her pack of dogs, and Ozzie, in particular, is a busy guy. e pair visits multiple places in McHenry County several times a week, providing comfort, joy, laughter and companionship to the many who need it.

Roesner and Ozzie have been volunteering as a therapy dog team for over a year. e team visits Centegra’s hospitals, neuro-rehabilitation center and the Centegra Gavers Breast Center as well as area libraries and other places of need. Ozzie has also been asked to attend funerals for nurses and first responders to provide comfort to those who are grieving.

Ozzie was an ideal choice for therapy work because of his temperament and trainability, according to Roesner. e team was tested by Pet Partners, a national therapy dog organization. ey were evaluated individually and as a dog-and-handler team. Testing focuses heavily on a dog’s reliability, reactivity, training and disposition, among other qualities.

A bit of a setback occurred when Roesner noticed some changes in Ozzie. e normally confident dog started to show concerning signs.

“I began to notice he seemed clumsy,” Roesner said. “He was having trouble with doors, thresholds and different floor surfaces. In obedience he was missing jumps or walking into them.”

So she took Ozzie to the vet, who noticed the changes in his eyes right away. A trip to the opthamologist confirmed that Ozzie was suffering from a form of corneal dystrophy, an immune-mediated disorder that is not common for the breed. e damage to his eyes cannot be reversed, but Roesner is hopeful that it will not progress. e diagnosis may have shaken Ozzie’s confidence, but it turned out

Ozzie Otter, a 3-year-old black Lab, makes a friend in the Square April 21. that he gained it back from the very people he helps in his therapy work.

“His impairment hasn’t affected his ability to work as a therapy dog.

One time a patient was walking Ozzie and I told him that he should drop the leash since Ozzie was never going to walk across the change in floor surface, but that patient believed in Ozzie. He had never walked on that floor [with me] but he looked up at the patient and continued walking with him,” Roesner said.

When Ozzie isn’t on the job, he lets loose at home with Roesner’s three other Labs, the youngest of which is his nephew, 9-month-old Otis Blue, also a black Lab. Pebbles Petunia, another therapy dog, and Barley Bear, the only yellow Lab in the house, add to the action. But when it comes time to work, Ozzie is just as happy in that environment.

“As soon as I put his vest on, he’s all business,” Roesner said. “All of these

Streaks take crosstown tennis match Hurricanes place first at Prairie Ridge Invite

By Liz Stroh THE INDEPENDENT

A crosstown tennis matchup between the Woodstock Blue Streaks and Woodstock North under came down to the very last set, with WHS earning a narrow 4-3 victory April 18 at WNHS. “While we’ve beaten every team in conference play so far, we respect every team and know we have to continue playing solidly to win again,” said first-year WHS coach Jacob Porter. “I would like that trend to continue through the conference tournament.

Our players know that they have to continue to put work in and play their best tennis.”

For the Streaks, Cullen Brown won

in singles play. e doubles teams of Austin Ellegood and Chris Carzoli, Andrew Gippert and Andrew Ahmeti, and Noah Robey and Ian Dawdy also were victorious.

For the under, singles players Brandon Langreck and Alfredo Balleno topped their crosstown competition. e doubles team of Collin McClurg and Nick Phillips also won.

WNHS’ Alec Molve made up onehalf of the under’s No. 1 doubles team, along with Andrew Dort, for the past three years. In the first week of practice this season, Molve was injured. He’s out for the season after having shoulder surgery.

“It is difficult when you lose one of your top players to keep on going and try your best. e team has pulled through and has rallied around that loss,” said coach Judy Roller.

Marian Central Catholic High

School placed first at the Prairie Ridge Invite, beating five other teams for the title April 22.

Ian Brzeski took first in singles over Michael Dowling, who finished second in the championship game. e doubles team of Connor Pivnicka and Sam Reckamp finished fourth. “ e tournament this weekend … shows that as a team our hard work in practice has been paying off,” said coach Craig Greenwald. “ is is my first year coaching the boys and I am amazed at their dedication, hard work and willingness to learn and try new things. is weekend was the best I have seen them play.”

WHS is 6-0 overall and 4-0 in the Kishwaukee River Conference. WNHS is 3-6 overall and is 3-1 in the KRC. Marian Central is 7-2 overall and 2-0 in the East Suburban Catholic Conference.

irty minutes is a milestone for most 10,000-meter runners.

Luke Beattie arrived there on Saturday. e Utah State University freshman track athlete, who was competing at the Stanford University-hosted Cardinal Classic, finished fifth in 29 minutes, 49.21 seconds.

His time ranks the seventh-best all time at Utah State. His teammate, James Withers, took second overall.

Withers’ time of 29.44.28 ranks Dan as the sixth-best Chamness time.

The College Grace BeatReport tie (Woodstock) took 17th in the steeplechase at the University of Virginia Challenge. Beattie finished the race in 10:40.52. Team scores were not kept.

Softball Caitlin Senn (Woodstock North) was 2-for-4 to help McHenry County College thump Moraine Valley Community College 10-5.

Senn scored twice and drove home one. In the 12-9 loss to Moraine Valley, she was 1-for-4 and scored a run. MCC is 4-18 overall and 3-5 in the Illinois Skyway Collegiate Conference.

Katelyn Johnson (Woodstock) was 1-for-3 and scored one run to help Webster University down Fontbonne University 2-1. In the 9-1 triumph over Fontbonne, Johnson walked, was hit by a pitch and scored a run. She drove home a pair of runs and scored once in Webster’s 15-7 loss to Westminster College.

Woodstock teams compete at county track meet Heidtke is repeat champ in low hurdles, Maidment wins high jump

By Sandy Kucharski THE INDEPENDENT

Cold and wind challenged competitors and spectators at the McHenry County Track and Field Championships April 20 and 21 at Huntley High School. Fifteen teams from throughout the county competed for championship titles.

For boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; teams, Woodstock High School placed 10th, followed by Woodstock North High School at 11th and Marian Central Catholic High School at 13th. Marianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girls placed 8th, with WHS 10th and WNHS 13th.

WHS had two county champions, one girl and one boy.

Sophomore Syd Heidtke was a repeat champion in the girls 300-meter low hurdles with a time of 48:13. A notable accomplishment on its own, the win was even sweeter considering Heidtke sustained a serious injury last year after qualifying for state. e injury required two screws in her ankle, and physical therapy continued over the summer and through most of the fall crosscountry season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool to look back on my freshman year and see that I could pull it together again this year,â&#x20AC;? said Heidtke.

Looking forward to the rest of the season, she said she is taking it one race at a time.

Marian and WHS athletes commit to colleges

By Whitney Rupp THE INDEPENDENT

Five Blue Streaks and two Hurricanes will be continuing their athletic careers into their college years.

Woodstock High School celebrated its student athletes with a signing event in the Learning Resource Center April 18.

“We have a great group in front of us today that are signing to become not only student athletes from WHS but student athletes at the college level. We celebrate these moments when we have student athletes that pledge to move forward and take on that task at the collegiate level,” said WHS Athletic Director Glen Wilson.

Brenda Ordonez will attend Marian University in Fond du Lac, Wis., where she will play tennis. She intends to study communication, media broadcasting and journalism.

Wilson noted that it had been ‘quite some time’ since a Blue Streak moved on to play tennis at the collegiate level.

“My coaches, Mr. Olivera and Coach Justice, always asked what I needed and pushed me. The drills were always so good, and our team went far,” Ordonez said.

Blake Brainard will attend the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, where he will play football.

Brainard intends to continue the outdoor activities he loves and will not forget his coach who pushed him during his time as a Blue Streak.

“Coach Thompson always taught me to play with a chip on my shoulder. His military background always influenced me a lot. He really motivated me to go hard and reminded me that our workouts were nothing compared to what others may be going through,” Brainard said.

Georgia Wicker will play volleyball at Daemen College in Amherst, N.Y. Wicker intends to study

childhood education and would someday like to teach elementary school.

“Coach Brown and Mr. Rausch impacted me a lot. I did choir all four years too. It’s surreal that he (Rausch) is leaving too this year.

Daemen felt like home and has a competitive volleyball team,” Wicker said.

Jacob Sumner intends to study business, joining Brainard at UWStevens Point, where he will play football.

“Coach Brown really helped, always pushed me hard in sports and academics as well. I just love the game. I’ve been playing since I was a little kid. It always felt right to be playing football,” Sumner said.

Kate Jacobs will attend DePaul University in Chicago where she will compete in cross-country and track. Jacobs has run cross-country and track since sixth grade and says her teammates are what motivate her and keep it fun, and her parents and coaches were always encouraging.

“I picked DePaul because I really love the city feel and I plan to study business. They have a good program for that. I’m close to home but still in a big city,” Jacobs said.

Matt Shook will attend Illinois College in Jacksonville. Shook intends to major in business finance and said he is excited to be graduating and moving on, and that the campus feels familiar.

“It’s like a mini-Woodstock because Jacksonville has a square, too. It’s nice and beautiful, and just felt like home,” Shook said.

Across town on April 19, two Marian seniors signed with colleges outside of Landers Pavilion.

“We are always pleased to see our student-athletes have an opportunity to continue their athletic careers at the next level. I love

Sam Ohlrich will attend Minot State University in Minot, N. D., where he will play basketball. Ohlrich would like to study finance.

“I like the pace of basketball. It’s not all power, it’s finesse, too,” Ohlrich said. “I’d say the biggest impression on me has been Coach Price — He’s been mentoring me since I was

in middle school.”

Faelan O’Shaughnessy will play tennis at Carthage College in Wisconsin. O’Shaughnessy wants to study neuroscience and someday work as an occupational therapist. A car accident set her back and going through therapy to recover, she realized that she wanted to help others as well.

“I wasn’t supposed to finish junior year, and here I am going to college,” O’Shaughnessy said.
