orkville hosted its annual Independence Day celebration last weekend in Town Square Park. Organized by a committee of volunteer city residents, the Fourth of July activities began the morning of July 4 with the city’s annual parade. Despite construction on Somonauk Street and Route 47, crowds lined the parade route under sunny skies. The event also featured performances by the
Yorkville Community Band, comprised of current and former Yorkville High School Band members, under the direction of Victor Anderson, YHS Band director, and Kids Foot Race in the park, sponsored by the Yorkville Junior Women’s Club To cap off the celebration, thousands of area residents attended the city’s annual fireworks display Saturday evening near the corner of Route 47 and Countryside Parkway.

Oswego Village President Gail Johnson said she is attempting to organize a meeting with mayors and officials in Kendall County to discuss a serious push to extend Metra service into Kendall County along the BNSF Line. Among those officials she hopes to connect with are Plano Mayor Bob Hausler, Kendall County Board member Scott Gryder, Yorkville Mayor Gary Golinski, Montgomery Village President Matt Brolley and Sandwich Mayor Rick Olson. “Our hope was just to have a frank conversation about how we move forward,” Johnson said. “My goal is to establish a task force and have each of the mayors decide who would serve on that from their village.” From there, Johnson said the task force would present their findings to Metra. “We need to put our collective heads together,” she said. Johnson said most of the city officials who will gather in the coming weeks say they are on board with putting a Metra stop somewhere in Kendall County even if it isn’t in their respective town. Hausler said he would like to see the rail service extended all the way to the city of Sandwich. He explained that the service could end at Sandwich, with stops in the cities and villages along the BSNF Line including Oswego, Yorkville, Montgomery and Plano. “I don’t think it’s com-

petitive, but the farther west that the termination point is, Metra can serve all the communities,” he said. “I think it would be beneficial to serve all the communities.” Hausler added that getting voters to join the RTA could be a tough sell. “It would have to be sold to the voters and if it would create economic development and be good for each community then that would be the selling points – not only the ridership but the economic development that it would create,” Hausler said. He added that he is confident that extending Metra service would be good for economic development. “It would bring people other than residents of the city to the downtown,” he said. “Most of the communities to our east that have a Metra station usually have some other type of development around it.” One issue the task force will have to tackle is how to pay for maintaining Metra service if commuter stations are built in Kendall County.

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com The village of Oswego’s Park-nRide has officially closed. The bus service that brought commuters from the Park-n-Ride in the lot near Mill and Orchard roads to the Metra station at the Aurora Transportation Center in downtown Aurora ceased operation June 30. The Oswego Village Board eliminated the service when they voted to pull the Park-n-Ride’s $80,000 budget line item from the village’s fiscal 2016 budget. The village’s fiscal year began May 1. Carrie Hansen, interim village administrator, said the village is still responsible for maintaining the vacant 120-space parking lot. “Who knows what the future of that facility is. If we do re-institute it, it’s there,” she said. “It’s unfortunate that it’s not being used at this point.” She added that the village is hoping to use the lot as a parking lot for a proposed Metra station. “My understanding of it is we have seen the ridership steadily decrease and for the expenditure it was decided that we would discontinue the service,” she said.

Hansen added that users of the Park-n-Ride are directed to go directly to the Aurora Metra station. “That’s the only other option there is for them at this point,” she said. “We feel that long-term this is viable and something the region wants.”
Ridership peaked at the Park-nRide in 2008 – just prior to the recession – and has never recovered. In addition, a grant the village had been using to fund the operation of the Park-n-Ride’s bus service expired and the village has had to use its own revenues to pay the Kendall

The village of Oswego’s Metra Park-n-Ride facility, which served Metra riders from throughout Kendall County, closed after 11 years of operation June 30.
A 12-year-old Montgomery girl was killed and her father injured Saturday when the ATV they were riding on in central Illinois left the roadway, struck a tree and overturned, according to an Associated Press report. Isabella S. Erickson, a student at Plank Junior High School in Oswego, later died from injuries sustained in the crash, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office. Isabella Erickson was driving the ATV and her father, John A. Erickson, 36, was a passenger on the ATV at the time of the crash, according to the sheriff’s office. Following the crash, Erickson and her father were airlifted to a Springfield hospital about 43 miles from the crash scene. On Tuesday, School District 308 Superintendent Dr. Matthew Wendt issued a statement confirming that
Isabella Erickson had been a student at Plank Junior High School during the past school year. “Our sympathy, concern and prayers Isabelle S. are with the Erickson Erickson family,” Wendt said. Wendt continued, “At this time, words cannot express our grief and heartfelt sympathy for Isabella’s entire family. Family and friends have shared how Isabella was a wonderful, warm and caring girl who displayed a remarkable talent in art. She will be deeply missed by her fellow students, teachers, and the staff at Plank Junior High and throughout the district. “The loss of someone so young is a tragedy for us and healing will require time and effort. A student’s death is a difficult and challenging situation that can generate a high level of anxiety and stress for some
students. If you feel that your children are having difficulty, we encourage you to discuss their thoughts and feelings to help them work through their grief and concerns. “To that end, we are fortunate to have a team of experienced counselors and other trained staff members who can provide needed comfort to students and employees. We will have a crisis counseling team on-site at Plank Junior High School. Anyone wanting to seek support throughout the summer is urged to contact Plank Junior High School Principal Jim Martin at 630-551-9410.” Visitation for Isabella Erickson is scheduled for this 2 to 7 p.m. July 12 at Dieterle Funeral Home, 1120 South Broadway Avenue in Montgomery. The Erickson family welcomes students who wish to attend and asks them to wear a tie-dyed shirts to honor Isabella. Funeral services will be 10 a.m. July 13 at the funeral home.

BRIEF Newark budget shows increases
The Newark Village Board recently adopted its 2016 fiscal year budget appropriation ordinance. Due to upcoming repairs, some budget expenses show increases over last fiscal year’s budget. Appropriations in the village’s wells and water fund have been increased to $180,000 due to scheduled repairs. In addition, equipment appropriations were increased to accommodate the purchase of a new pickup truck with snowplow. The cost for police and mileage also have been increased under terms of a new policing agreement with Kendall County. In other business, the board organized a committee to review the village’s water rates. Named to the committee were Richard Spraggon, Darald Nelson, Dan Cassin and Robert Nordengren.

Metra studying environmental impact of a possible extension • METRA Continued from page 1 However, Johnson and other elected officials say there are a couple of ways to approach funding, including adding a township levy as Kenosha, Wisconsin, did when they received Metra service but didn’t join the RTA. Any decision to join the RTA would have to be put to the voters of Kendall County, Golinski added. “Obviously if we join the RTA it’s going to have to go out to a referendum, so our first discussion would be are there other alternatives out there?” Golinski said. Golinski said he would be fine with using a sales tax to fund Metra since people from other communities would pay it when they

shop in Kendall County. “We’ve been talking about Metra since I’ve been involved with the city, and there’s been some studies in place but no real movement, and if we want this thing let’s go for it and if not let’s stop talking about it,” he said. “This county has to get serious – do we want it or don’t we? And if we do, we better start moving on it.”
Metra is currently in the environmental impact phase of the study that Carrie Hansen, interim Oswego village administrator, said is the first of three phases for the extension on planning. The engineering study has just begun, she said, and takes about 18 months to two years to complete. Should the Metra Board of Directors approve the environmental impact study, they would move on to design and land acquisition and then, finally, with approval, begin construction. In May, the Metra Board of Directors voted to add Yorkville to the environmental engineering study. The board awarded a contract to Muller and Muller, Ltd. to provide design engineering services for the BNSF Service Extension-Yorkville Station. The con-
tact for engineering services was slated to cost $557,635, according to information from board’s meeting packet. Metra received a $7.5 million federal earmark more than 10 years ago to study the possibility of extending BNSF service into Kendall County. According to Metra, the project is funded in the Capital Program by two federal grants dedicated solely to the BNSF extension and requires no local match. In 2012, Metra’s Board of Directors approved two professional services contract awards to engineering firms to study the feasibility of extending service from the current end of the line in Aurora to Oswego. Additional scope items included a new overnight train storage yard and two station and parking
facilities in Montgomery and Oswego. The yard facility would consist of tracks, maintenance platforms, a crew welfare building, lighting, access roads and parking, according to Metra. Metra’s records indicate that the engineering firm’s preliminary investigation of the proposed Oswego yard site revealed that it was inadequate to satisfy Metra’s yard needs and they began investigating alternate sites which included Yorkville. Hansen said the village would like to see the environmental phase of the plan move forward in earnest after stopping and starting for years. “There certainly is movement out here to make sure that we at least study to determine whether or not we are going to proceed any further,” she said.

A maze of pylons along U.S. Route 34 just east of Illinois Route 47 in Yorkville serves to block eastbound motorists from turning left into a strip mall at the northeast corner of the intersection.
Access to shops in mall limited by Route 47, Route 34 construction
A Kendall County court judge agreed to revoke the bond of a Montgomery woman accused of trying to kill her children, court documents Pamela J. said. A j u d g e Christensen agreed to revoke the bond of Pamela J. Christensen, 47, of Patron Lane, Montgomery, after she was found to have left her home on three occasions in June. Christensen was charged in September 2014 with multiple counts of
attempted murder, aggravated battery and unlawful restraint. Her bond was originally set at $1 million with GPS monitoring. That bond was reduced to $750,000 on May 11, 2015, with GPS home confinement. According to court documents, Christensen went outside her home on three occasions in late June. As a condition of her release, she was to remain at her home at all times except for medical appointments. After she left her home on June 28, her husband called 911 and an ambulance was sent to the home. Christensen was taken to an area hospital for observation.

BRIEFS
Businesses in the small strip mall at the northeast corner of Route 34 and Route 47 in Yorkville are feeling blocked off from their customers as a result of the continuing construction at the intersection. Contractors for the Illinois Department of Transportation recently installed a center median on Route 34 past the center that prevents eastbound motorists from making lefthand turns into the strip mall. To Andie Groff, owner of the Chocolate Shoppe at 175 East, W. Veterans Parkway, the median might as well be a wall with the number of customers she’s lost in recent weeks. “In front of our store, there used to be a median that you could drive over and turn into our strip mall,” said Groff. “Now with this new plan of widening the road, they added a high concrete median that you can’t drive on and now there’s no entrance into our strip mall.” While the strip mall and its businesses are not completely cut off from potential traffic, the only way to get in is through an access road through the nearby BP gas station off of Route 47. This path isn’t too difficult for locals who know how to get around, according to Groff. But she said it causes confusion for those unfamiliar with the landscape, which leads to lost business. Groff said that she and her fellow businesses have already felt the pinch from a lack of customers. A hot dog stand, Mr. Tube Steak, recently went out of business.

Shop owner Andie Groff says a recently added median has hurt her business. “Last year, when the construction started [on the widening of Route 47], our business decreased by 80 percent overnight,” said Groff. “Things were OK until they put the median in. It’s been there for six weeks and it’s affecting all of us because you can’t get in here.” According to Yorkville City Administrator Bart Olson, the process of ap-
proving the construction at the Routes 47/34 intersection was done through numerous meetings with IDOT a few years ago and the complaints from local businesses are nothing new. “We’ve received a few complaints over the years, and have tried to work with the businesses to clarify information and manage issues as they come up,” Olson said.

OUR VIEWS
Heroin’s reach in Kendall County Authorities: Education is key to thwarting its spread As we recently reported, a string of three deaths in Kendall County over a three-day period in May from suspected heroin overdoses left county law enforcement officials and first responders wondering if it was an anomaly or the start of a new trend. The deaths occurred in three different county communities May 22-24. One death was reported in Yorkville, another in Montgomery and a third in the unincorporated Boulder Hill Subdivision. The three deaths followed a heroin overdose death reported in Oswego in February. In addition, Oswego Fire Protection District Chief Mike Veseling reported the department has already responded to five heroin-related overdoses this year compared to eight heroin-related overdose cases all of last year. “Obviously, heroin (use) overall is up from what it was 15 years ago,” Veseling said. Tragically, heroin use has been on the rise across the country as the highly addictive and deadly drug has, evidently, become cheaper to purchase. Law
enforcement officials have watched the use of the drug spread out from urban areas into the suburbs over the past several years. To stem this rising tide, Kendall County Sheriff Dwight Baird said people must be educated on the dangers of heroin. We agree. That means parents and educators here and across the country need to increase their efforts to inform and warn young people that heroin is a serious, addictive and quickly deadly drug. Baird said heroin has been on the radar screens of the sheriff’s office and other local law enforcement agency for some time now. Those agencies, we believe, need to continue those efforts to thwart the spread of heroin here. In addition, the county coroner’s office and fire protection districts must keep the sheriff’s office and county municipal police departments informed of all suspected drug overdose cases. A free flow of shared information by law enforcement agencies at all levels, fire protection districts and the coroner’s office is vital to preventing the spread of this most dangerous drug.
Combatting abuse in state’s nursing homes We support a bill in Springfield that would allow for video and audio monitoring devices in nursing homes to help combat and prove abuse. Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office said Illinois has more than 860 nursing homes with more than 76,000 residents. Those numbers likely will increase as the state’s population ages. As a result, the about 5,000 complaints per year of abuse, neglect or theft of property by nursing home staff also is likely to increase. The Illinois Department of Public Health found 106 allegations to be valid in 2013. Allowing residents to install audio or recording devices in their nursing home rooms should help deter abuse of nursing home residents. It also should help prove incidents of abuse, neglect or theft that might have been swept aside in the past because of a lack of evidence. One key part of the bill makes it fair and not an invasion of personal privacy: All residents in a room would
THE FIRST
AMENDMENT
have to approve the installation of a camera. If one resident wants it installed but a roommate does not, then the camera will not be installed. The legislation (House Bill 2462) also prohibits a nursing home from retaliating against anyone for using the devices. Three other states allow for the use of audio and recording devices in nursing home rules. The bill is awaiting a signature from Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner. Casting ballots in favor of the bill were Kendall County area lawmakers State Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, D-Oswego; State Rep. John Anthony, R-Morris; State Sen. Linda Holmes, D-Aurora; State Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood; State Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris; State Rep. Mark Batinick, R-Plainfield; and State Sen. Jim Oberweis, R-Sugar Grove. We urge Rauner to follow suit and sign this piece of legislation that would help fight abuse, neglect and theft in Illinois nursing homes.
Still shoveling junk mail as summer’s Dog Days draw near Can you hear ’em a-woofin’? The Dog Days of summer are nearly here. The Dog Days, generally defined as stretching from early July through August, got their name either because this time of year is for the dogs or because this is the time of year when Fido the dog star (or something like that) rises over the horizon each evening. Well, we don’t care about where the name came from anyway, do we? All we’re interested in is knowing that this is summer. Of course I’m interested in finding something to fill this space each week. And as I was sitting at my desk shoveling junk mail into the appropriate circular file, I couldn’t help but notice some really, really fascinating items. So, here are a number of things I never would have found out if I hadn’t opened all that junk mail each and every day our trusty mail carrier showed up out front here at the Matile Manse: In honor of the Dog Days, I’d like you to know that the excessive fear of dogs is called cynophobia. “In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue,” we used to recite in school, imprinting the discovery of the New World on our impressionable minds. But do you know what Columbus discovered in 1498? Venezuela, that’s what. A later Spaniard, apparently fascinated with the prevalence of rivers in the place, dubbed it with the Spanish name for “Little Venice.” The busiest route for international phone calls is between the U.S. and Canada. I’m sure the NSA isn’t listening in on them, either. The woodchuck belongs to the squirrel family. Speaking of squirrels, when Captain Cook reached the Hawaiian Islands in 1778, he named them the Sandwich Islands after one of his patrons, the Earl of Sandwich. He could have saved a lot of confusion if he would have just asked the locals what the name was. How slothful is a sloth (columnist’s aside: sloth is my very favorite deadly sin)? Well, on the ground, a sloth travels (and I’m using the term advisedly here) at about six to eight feet a minute. But when we combine
REFLECTIONS Roger Matile that with the fact that a snail travels at the rate of about 23 inches per hour and some species of bamboo grow at the rate of three feet a day, what can we deduce? Absolutely nothing, as far as I can determine. Uncomfortable in your own skin? Don’t worry. Every 15 to 30 days, the human body completely replaces the outer layer of skin. Been meaning to start that exercise program, but just haven’t had the time (or inclination)? Says here that cross-country skiing can use up to 540 calories an hour. Therefore, this is a perfect time to put off that exercise program until you’ve bought a complete set of equipment and we have enough snow to begin cross-country skiing. To retain the freshness of an opened jar of pimentos, add vinegar to the jar and store the remaining pimentos in the ‘fridge. Or better yet, just throw the whole thing away. I hate pimentos. The only true flying mammals are bats. There are about 950 species of the things. Before storing turnips, cut off the leafy green tops. Otherwise, the tops will extract nutrients from the turnips. Wait…turnips have nutrients? Your taste buds – and mine, for that matter – can distinguish four main types of flavor: sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. And pie. Don’t forget pie. The most common contagious disease is the cold. The most common non-contagious disease is gum disease. Saffron, known for its golden color, is the dried stigma of the autumn crocus. From about the time of the Revolutionary War until World War II, Americans were, on average, the tallest people in the world. After World War II, however, we lost our preeminence in height, due to a number of factors including universal health care and income inequality compared to European countries,
according to population studies at the University of Munich. In the United States, taller people make more money on average, as they are perceived as “more intelligent and powerful,” according to a study published in 2009 in the Economic Record. The first U.S. savings bank was the Provident Institute for Savings in Boston, started in 1816. The most destructive insect in the world is the desert locust, which was immortalized in the Bible. The bug, which is found in Africa, the Middle East, and India, can eat its own weight every day. I will not make a joke about teenagers here. When astronomers talk about a “young” star or an “old” galaxy, they’re talking a different language than ours. In astronomy, a cosmic year is the period of rotation of the Sun around the Milky Way galaxy, which is 225 million years. The meticulously manicured lawns we see today, with vast expanses of Kentucky Bluegrass uncluttered by a dandelion or clump of crabgrass, are modern phenomena invented by the British. In the mid-19th century, American novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne visited England and found the rage among the moneyed set was the closely clipped green grass lawn. But Hawthorne didn’t like the uniformity of those British lawns. Instead, he wrote home that he was lonesome for the more natural look of American lawns, which, he noted, were rich in their varieties of weeds, nettles, clover, and dandelions. So it turns out I have a very American lawn. Hawthorne said so. Finally, the very first code of etiquette was created in the Old Kingdom of ancient Egypt. The first book on manners was called The Instructions of Ptahhotep, which was written by (naturally) Ptahhotep, who was grand vizier under Pharaoh Issesi, in about 2500 B.C. The original book is now in a Paris antiquities collection, which is a very good idea, because if anybody needs some basic manners instruction, even if it’s almost 5,000 years old, it’s the French.

To the Editor: In 1912, the Sisters of Mercy purchased a farm on the north side of Aurora to build a hospital that would provide compassionate mental health treatment and care for the most vulnerable citizens – the poor and the uneducated. During a century of progress, that hospital has evolved into Presence Mercy Medical Center, one of the largest full-service hospitals in the Fox River Valley. Yet despite all of the amazing advancements over the past century, we find that the very core of our mission is now threatened. State lawmakers are debating drastic cuts to Medicaid funding that would be devastating to our hospital; and would be especially damaging to our Behavioral Health Services, in which 39 percent of patients are covered by Medicaid. Let me tell you the story of one of those patients whom I’ll call John. John has a long history of mental illness and addiction. While covered by Medicaid, he had been stable for many years. But he suddenly lost coverage and couldn’t get his prescriptions filled. His mood became unstable. In an attempt to control that, he resorted to drinking and the use of street drugs. He became psychotic and suicidal. Fortunately, he was hospitalized and within a week was stabilized once again. Look what happens when a patient loses access to one vital service – pharmacy coverage. Imagine what will happen if everyone in the region, not just Medicaid patients, lost access to so much more, such as intensive outpatient programs, partial hospitalization, addiction treatment, geriatric/Alzheimer’s programs, and ADHD treatment. If there are no services to manage chronic behavioral health conditions before they become acute, these patients will suffer tremendous harm. Many will end up in crowded, expensive emergency rooms or much worse – the prison system. Behavioral health services are critical to our region. In fact, mental health issues rose to the top of concerns in the recent 2014 Kane County Community Health Needs Assessment. The community-wide survey found nearly 85 percent of respondents believe mental health is a major problem in the Fox River Valley Region.

We ask lawmakers to not ignore the long-term picture in their quest to solve the immediate budget crisis. Efforts to fix the broken health care system, such a focusing on quality of care instead of quantity, are working. It doesn’t make sense to enact measures that will only increase expenses over the long run. In May, both the Illinois Senate and House of Representatives passed a major Medicaid package, Senate Bill 788, which would fend off the majority of the $1.5 billion program cuts proposed for fiscal year 2016 budget. We are encouraging state lawmakers to include key Medicaid provisions of Senate Bill 788 in the final FY2016 state budget. Help us let our governor know that slashing Medicaid will result in an increasingly unhealthy population, endangering the future of our state. Visit the Illinois Hospital Association’s website at ihatoday.org to make your voice heard in support of Senate Bill 788 to preserve Medicaid. Michael L. Brown

A great time in America
To the Editor: You have to find the irony of a letter writer using quotes from American Revolutionaries to defend the Confederate flag. The portrayal of that flag is wrong for many reasons. First it was a symbol of a divided country. Plus they lost. Losers very rarely get to set terms after defeat. To say there is no racism involved, show me pictures of African-American citizens flying the Confederate colors from the back of their pickup trucks. The Southern states need to worry more about being a part of today’s America and less about reliving the glory days of the 1860s. The line about running to politicians to fight their battles is again ironic considering the Supreme Court decisions on health care and marriage equality. Seemed like a lot of political fighting going on there. It would be interesting to take a poll of all the people who have screamed about the Affordable Care Act and how it should not be given to the less fortunate people. Would these people give up the right to Medicare, a socialized program condemned by far right politicians and their followers? In 2012, Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, as he became Speaker of the House, said the re-election of President Obama reaffirmed that Obamacare was here to stay. But the fight kept going. Hospitals, medical facilities, physicians, insurance provid-
ers and people utilizing the benefits of Obamacare had to sit holding their breaths til last week. Now we can see the program actually operate without fear of the whole system being scuttled. And no one is more relieved than Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and chairman of house budget committee who would have had to explain the non-existent Republican health plan if Obamacare was set aside. Now he can focus on reducing food stamps and other safety net programs. So now that there is marriage equality and health care for anyone who wants it and jobs keep increasing. It’s a great time in America, unless you are a right-wing conservative and then it’s back to the drawing board. Ed Washak Yorkville

Politically correct insanity
To the Editor: In a professed “historic commitment” to “a more di-
verse and inclusive workplace that reflects, understands, and relates to the diverse customers we serve,” the Federal Aviation Administration has dropped the aptitude test that stressed split-second decisions involving mathematical calculations for entry-level air traffic controllers. It seems that not enough black, Hispanic and female candidates could pass it. Are you going to be taking a flight in the next year or two?

technology operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says that the U.S. has been cooling for the last 10 years and that the Earth overall has been cooling for the last 18 years. Of course, religion is a practice based on faith, not evidence, so I guess he’s in the grove on this one. Federal law requires judges to recuse themselves from a case when their “impartiality might reasonably be questioned.” Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been an activist for same-sex marriage and has presided at same-sex weddings. She did not recuse herself from the Supreme Court decision on same-sex marriage. Where is this country headed when the final arbiter of the law will not obey the law? When Holmes shot up that theater in Aurora, Colorado, it was the only one of seven
that he had to choose from that had “No Firearms Allowed” signs on their doors. If you have two brain cells to rub together, it is fairly easy to deduce that the legal elimination of armed citizens was a prime factor in his choice. After the slaughter, one of the other six theaters put “No Firearms Allowed” signs on their doors. The latest unemployment figure put out by our government – well known for the lies they tell – is 5.3 percent. Donald Trump, a successful businessman, says it is 18 percent. David Stockman, who was the director of the Office of Management and Budget under Ronald Reagan, using government-supplied data on labor hours worked, puts it at 42.9 percent. Isn’t it curious that the closer you get to Obama the lower the number goes? There were 82 shootings in Chicago over the Fourth
of July holiday with 14 deaths. I applaud the Liberal Democrat administration of Chicago for showing restraint and not imposing unreasonable police oppression on the criminal element of the people they serve. The Chicago police have more than enough on their plate what with keeping tabs on the law-abiding citizens with concealed-carry permits. A black, female University of Memphis professor named Zandria Robinson blames her “severe premenstrual dysphoric disorder,” a condition characterized by emotional and mood problems, on white people “rather than any internal hormonal fluctuations.” What? We live in a world saturated with politically correct insanity and corruption. I’m beginning to like Donald Trump. Charles Christensen Oswego
Scattering remains
To the Editor: In your article last week about the cremated remains being donated to Goodwill, I was glad to hear that family was found. There was one thing that Jenny Perkins said in the article that is not true. In Illinois, people can scatter cremated remains and many people find it comforting to scatter where the deceased was most at peace while alive. It is always suggested that you obtain permission to scatter if it is on private property or contact the city or county if on public land. As far as scattering in the water, it is suggested that you scatter at least three nautical miles from land. People can read the full article on nolo.com. Joan Retterer

County awards loan to Yorkville arms manufacturer By MATT SCHURY mshury@shawmedia.com
from it.” When asked after the meeting why he abstained, Purcell said that he just had a philosophical object to government giving out loans. In a related matter, the board also approved a revolving fund loan totaling $80,000 at 2.1 percent interest to Robert and Debra Dearborn for the Countryside Café on U.S. Route 34 in Sandwich. The couple plans to use the funds to open a restaurant in a former Pizza Hut. Approval came in a majority of eight votes vote with Purcell voting present and Bob Davidson abstaining. There was no discussion by the board before they voted to approve the loan.
Technology director
In other business, the county is in need of a new technology director. The board approved beginning the search for a replacement to Stan Laken, the county’s current technology director, in a 6-4 split vote Tuesday night. Laken will be retiring Aug. 7, according to board member Jeff Wehrli said. Before the vote to move forward with replacing Laken, the board considered a proposal by Davidson to delay the
hiring and instead assign the duties of the director to Jim Smiley, the county’s facilities management director. Davidson’s proposal came in the form of a letter he sent to the County Board’s Finance Committee as well as Chairman John Shaw and Jeff Wilkins, the county’s administrator. The letter, dated July 1, says Davidson wanted to combine the two positions of facilities management director and technology services director under one position headed by Smiley. Davidson said he discussed the issue with Smiley who felt he could take on the extra responsibilities. “Jim (Smiley) said that he thought it was possible if … some reassignment of duties of staff and technology services and GIS Mapping departments were also included,” Davidson wrote. “We believe this would streamline operations of these two departments to better facilitate operations, coordination of

projects, and day to day management of work orders and provide better customer service.” Davidson notes Laken’s current salary is $109,790 plus benefits and that combining the office would save the county money. “We are budgeted to be a few dollars in the hole and revenues don’t look like they’re going to go up, now this is a chance to save some money –big dollars,” Davidson said. “As far as I’m concerned we’re either going to have to cut services or cut employees or maybe both.” Board member Elizabeth Flowers pointed out that Laken is also in charge of the county’s GIS Mapping Department. Flowers added that she wanted to see more information before she could support Davidon’s proposal. Board member Scott Gryder said he understood Davidson’s proposal but wasn’t sure it would work. “It’s even more important
than just the IT because all of our public safety systems things are run off what the IT director does,” Gryder said. Purcell said that appreciated Davidson “thinking outside the box” to save the county money but noted that if they give Smiley the added responsibilities they would have to increase his pay. “I think that that individual would require a substantial bump in compensation and I’m not talking $1,000 to $2,000 – I think it could be $8,000 to $10,000,” Purcell said. He added that at the end of the day it could be a wash since Smiley might need an assistant and additional staff members to support him. “What would the actual changes be if you’re going to add a staff member and an administrative person?” Purcell said. “Might you be better off paying more money … to get somebody who is an expert in technology versus somebody who is not an expert in technology.”

The Kendall County Board voted Tuesday night to approve a loan to Yanos Hagos and partners Ernest Johnson, and Armando Velasquez for Civilian Force Arms in an amount of $90,000 at 2.9 percent interest rate and five year amortization. The loan dollars would come from the county’s economic development revolving loan fund. The revolving loan fund was originally funded through a State of Illinois grant to foster job creation in the county. The company is located in Yorkville in the Fox Industrial Park, Hagos explained, where they assemble customized AR15s and other weapons. The company’s website says Hagos, who is from Sudan, is an U.S. Army veteran who received a Purple Heart after being wounded by a rocket propelled grenade while fighting in the Iraq War in 2004. Approval of the loan came by a nine-vote majority with board member John Purcell voting “present.” Hagos explained that they are a “class 7 FFL manufacturer” and they make “AR-
15s, AR-10s and we’re getting into 19-11s.” “We manufacture weapons,” he told the board. Board member Dan Koukol, who chairs the board’s economic development committee, voiced support for granting the loan. “He’s an arms dealer/manufacturer,” Koukol said. “He’s going to add some employees, add some jobs and be a good part of the community.” Andrez Beltran, the county’s economic development and special projects coordinator, said he believes that Hagos plans to add nine more employees to his current staff of six people. Beltran said the company wants to manufacture parts for the guns that they currently assemble. “Mostly they are doing customization of AR-15s from manufactures,” he said, adding that the guns are assembled in Yorkville. “There is a stock design and people put their own tweaks on it and there is different types of metal for different parts,” he said. “It seems to be a very high quality weapon. They are getting into customizing their own parts. Currently, they are sourcing them and making a custom weapon

County to repay $148,000 in wrongly reimbursed sales tax
Independence Day flair
By MATT SCHURY mschury@shawmedia.com
Steven Buyansky for Shaw Media
Nick Stillson, a senior at Yorkville High School, marches with the Yorkville Community Band wearing patriotic shades during Yorkville’s Independence Day Parade and Town Square festivities on Saturday, July 4.
Kendall County will have to pay back $148,000 to the state of Illinois because of an error in the way sales tax was collected from a business in the county, according to the Illinois Department of Revenue. Kendall County Treasurer Jill Ferko said this week the business, which the department of revenue would not disclose, had been paying sales tax in error to the county instead of a local municipality. Ferko said the business
claimed to be operating in unincorporated Kendall County but a municipality in the county filed an inquiry with the department which revealed it actually was operating within the boundaries of a municipality. Ferko added department officials told her that due to confidentiality laws they could not disclose the name of the business or its location. The department also couldn’t tell her which municipality filed the inquiry. The county will pay back about $66,000 this fiscal year and $82,000 next
fiscal year. Board member John Purcell told the board the county will pay back the $148,000 over nine months in $16,500 increments each month. “That will affect revenues negatively,” he said. Ferko explained that it will be hard to say how much less money the county will receive in sales tax now that the error has been caught. Department officials indicated the tax dollars had mistakenly been going to the county instead of the municipality for “years,” according to Ferko.

Yorkville’s Ty Liaromatis gets the force out at second base during Monday’s game against Oswego East in the Oswego/Plainfield South Wood Bat Tournament. The Foxes defeated the Wolves 4-3.
Yorkville competes in wood bat tournament • SWINGING
Continued from page 16 Wolves, and Luken called Jesse Dalton up to relieve Kauppila after 6 1/3 innings of work. Oswego East’s Vince Schwartz hit into a fielder’s choice that resulted in one run, and Logan Walsh was safe on an error that allowed two more runs to score. Trailing 4-3 with two outs, Oswego East could not bring around the tying run as the game ended on a ground out to third base. “That’s a sign of a good team that they don’t give in even though we had that four-run lead and they end-
ed up making a game of it,” Luken said. “Our starting pitcher, Brady Kauppila, got his pitch count up a bit and went to the bullpen and I thought Jesse Dalton came in and did a nice job getting the save.” Following this week’s tournament action, the Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association summer tournament will begin on Monday. Regional assignments are experted to be released at the end of the week. “It’s quality baseball in Oswego, and Plainfield is good. It’s good to get some competition like this to get us ready for next week,” Luken said.
Six local track meets on Norsemen schedule • NEWARK
Continued from page 16 None of the Little Ten Conference members have their own tracks on site, and some have co-op teams with other local schools. Newark used to co-op with Plano, but that dates back more than two decades. Newark does not have a track, but Still plans to pair the new high school coaches with the coaches at Millbrook and Lisbon to get training ideas. He does expect to have pits installed for events like high jump and long jump to practice safely. “The future certainly looks bright,” Still said. “We’re just going to have to take our show on the road. It’s expensive to build a track. Maybe one day. ... Right now we’re going to get creative.” The popularity of track and field could also spark interest in creating a cross country team in the future –
something that will be monitored by the athletic department in upcoming seasons. “If we have enough kids involved, certainly the following fall, cross country would be a possibility because you need fewer people, you don’t need a track and that would be a normal transition,” Still said. “If we do have a large turnout and we have distance runners, that would be an easy thing to transition to. You’ve got to make sure you plan far enough out there to have a schedule. With just soccer and volleyball in the fall, it would be pretty neat to add something like that that’s not a high expense. But we have to see how track plays out first.” The 2016 track and field season officially begins on Jan. 18. The girls’ state meet will be May 19-21, and the boys’ state meet May 26-28 at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston. Newark’s first scheduled meet is March 31 at Plano.

SWINGING FOR THE FENCES
Warren’s two-run triple lifts Foxes over Oswego East By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@shawmedia.com The opportunity to swing a wood bat is rare at the high school level, but Yorkville’s summer baseball players have a unique opportunity in this week’s three-day Oswego/Plainfield South Wood Bat Tournament. Aluminum bats are lighter and stronger, and the change to wood bats was evident at the plate in the opening day of round robin play with few hits allowed at Jackie’s Field of Dreams at Oswego High School. “The kids like the offense, but this is an opposite type of tournament because it magnifies your defense, small ball and bunts,” Oswego head coach Mark Johnson said. “The kids like swinging the wood bats and we like it because the cream rises to the top. It’s something different.” On Monday, Oswego defeated Oswego East 3-0 in Game 1. Oswego East faced Yorkville in Game 2 and the Foxes built a 4-0 lead before the Wolves attempted a sev-
enth-inning rally, which fell short to give the Foxes a 4-3 victory. The third game between Oswego and Yorkville was postponed to Wednesday after heavy rain fell after Game 2 and soaked the field. “You’re trying to get ready for playoffs next week so we’re getting more focused on the true seven-inning games. With the wood bats, you’ve really got to play small ball and fortunately we were able to score some runs and get a win,” Yorkville head coach Scott Luken said. The tournament continued Tuesday and Wednesday, with results unavailable at press time. “We talked before that with a wood bat you’re not going to get as many hits, so we had to execute. In the first game they got a couple bunts in and that was the difference in the game,” Oswego East head coach Matt Engelhardt said. “We struggled early with the wood bats. We fought back in the second game and the guys started to get used to it.

Luke Farren lays down a bunt to score the first run in Monday’s game against Oswego East in the Oswego/Plainfield South Wood Bat Tournament. They didn’t give up.” After taking a loss against Oswego, Oswego East remained in its dugout for Game 2 while Yorkville played the visitors on the scoreboard and stepped up
to the plate for its debut with the wood bats. After two quiet innings, the Foxes got onto the scoreboard in the top of the third inning. With one out, Yorkville’s Tracey Kurz singled, stole
second and reached third on a passed ball before Luke Farren sent a sac bunt down the first base line to bring Kurz home and give Yorkville a 1-0 lead. Yorkville left the bases load-
ed to end the inning with an infield ground out to shortstop. Yorkville starter Brady Kauppila walked three early batters in the afternoon, but the Foxes’ defense kept Oswego East out of scoring position for much of the game. Oswego East pitcher Dan Nelson ran into trouble in the seventh inning, giving up a single and hitting one batter before Yorkville’s Max Warren hit a two-run triple deep to left field to put the Foxes ahead 3-0. “In games like this, you’ve really got to be willing to sacrifice guys and get that run in, and Max Warren came in with the twoRBI triple,” Luken said. “He went in with a really good approach at the plate and swung at that one. It turns out we needed those runs, so that was a big hit for us.” Warren eventually scored on a passed ball, but the Wolves eventually made the final two outs to get out of the inning with Yorkville leading 4-0.

Newark steps up to the starting line Track and field approved for spring 2016 By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@shawmedia.com Jim Still officially began his new role as the principal at Newark High School on July 1, but he’s already helped to bring a significant addition to Newark athletics with the approval of a boys and girls track and field program for the 2015-16 school year. Still is no stranger to athletics. He spent the past 10 years in the Yorkville School District and was the head football coach for six years before resigning after the 2010 season to take an administrative position in the district. So it’s no surprise that Still dove right in on this project with Newark athletic director Carol Navarro before he officially started as principal. “When I was in the transitional phase, I went to Millbrook (Junior High) and Lisbon Grade School and met with the building leaders and kids there, specifically the eighth graders who will be freshmen. One of the things I recognized right away and was curious about was that they have track at both of those feeder schools and they’re exceptionally good at it,” Still said. “There were many students who qualified for state and won medals while they were there,
yet we didn’t have a high school track team. I asked Carol Navarro about that and I asked Amy Smith, our superintendent, about that. Everybody really seemed to be on board with trying to add track. “Everybody has been very supportive and very excited. We’ve been busy, but we’re just trying to do what’s best for the kids. It’s a great opportunity.” Navarro surveyed the students to get an idea of the level of interest in a track and field program. Currently, baseball and softball are the only spring sports offered at Newark. “It really seemed like a no-brainer,” Still said. “We’re a smaller school and we’re very realistic. We don’t want to lose athletes from baseball and softball. We highly encourage kids to do both. We’re open to that.” Still referred to a recent Yorkville graduate, MacKenzie Lee, who participated in both girls’ soccer and track and field during her time as a student athlete. She not only received a women’s soccer scholarship to Northern Illinois University, but she also was a track and field state qualifier in shot put. “Here’s a kid who is a Division I soccer player who is participating in track. If you can do that at a bigger school, there’s no question we can do that here,” Still said of Lee. “We’re not going to ask kids to pick. Carol had done a great job putting together a schedule that tentatively doesn’t overlap with baseball and softball. We want to make it doable for our coaches and

For the first time in more than two decades, Newark will compete in boys and girls track and field. our kids. I asked MacKenzie how many meets she missed and she only missed three. Truly as long as you schedule it accordingly, there’s no reason kids can’t do both.” “The sad part is that kids have been able to participate in middle school and then not have a pro-
gram at high school. We’re really excited. It gives kids an opportunity to tap into some of their strengths and to be able to continue that level of success they’re having in seventh and eighth grade,” Still said. The Newark School Board approved the sport and budget at its
June 25 meeting, and Navarro has already developed a 2016 schedule that includes six local track meets – meeting the requirements of the IHSA in order to participate in the state series meets. “We already have six meets scheduled. I worked on that right away,” Navarro said. “We’ve got teams like Seneca and Yorkville scheduled and a few invites. Some of them are boys only and girls only, but most are co-ed. We have the minimum number to start with to compete at the state level and we can always add more when we see what our numbers are. They’re excited about it. Some of the students got wind of this at the end of the school year and they’re really excited about getting the opportunity to run.” The sport is also personal for Navarro, as her daughter is set to run track at Judson University in the upcoming school year. “Track is fun to watch. I like it. It’ll be nice to see a little bit different venue that I’ve never seen in all the years I’ve been here,” said Navarro, who is in her 18th year at Newark. “We’re going to give it a whirl and see how it goes. It’s a really neat environment to be at, watching my daughter run in high school.” Based on the survey, Still estimates a team of 20 boys and 20 girls for the inaugural season. Now, work begins to purchase equipment, hire coaches and work out other details to kickstart the sport.

chools have closed their doors and children have an abundance of free time, which can only mean it’s summer. Thankfully, for children and parents alike, Kendall County is offering children special summer events and camps to keep their minds and bodies active.
Kid’s Connection at Oswego
All through the year, the Oswegoland Park District hosts Kid’s Connection, a recreational program that works in conjunction with School District 308. Throughout the summer, as well as during the school year, kids will have the opportunity to play games, learn and keep active at locations like Wheatlands Elementary, Churchhill Elementary, Southberry Elementary and the Southpoint Park Distirct. “It’s a before- and after-school program,” said Cheral Gerstung, coordinator of Early Childhood Special Projects at the Oswegoland Park Distirct. “And we have a summer camp which is a 12-hour-a-day program [with an] athletics mini camp and engineering program.” Shemeka Wesby of Oswego has been taking her three children to Kids’ Connections since her oldest, Shemaiah, was still

According to Wesby, though the programs might be different between her children, they are together in one place and their activities often overlap. “Having all three of them in one central location doing age appropriate things is a great thing,” Wesby said. “This year, their favorite part was going to Prairie Fest. They loved it so much they recreated it at home with their own snacks and their own games. They pretended to sell tickets and have rides. It was cute.”

Sheriff adds mounted patrol unit Deputies will patrol parks, events, more SHAW MEDIA The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office has added an auxiliary mounted patrol unit, according to a news release from the department. The unit is comprised of three deputies and their horses and can be used to patrol parks and neighborhoods. Mounted deputies may be seen at large spectator events throughout the county.

The unit functions as a result of tremendous community support and generosity, with volunteers

Christians have a Kingdom; it's not America, never has been, and never will be. The Lord reigns. He is in control, always has been, always will be. We must trust Him. Philippians 3:20 But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives.And we are eagerly waiting for Him to return as our Savior. Christians have a Kingdom; and it was not Rome, never was, and never would be. The Lord reigns. He is in control, always has been, always will be. The disciples of Christ trusted Him. Romans 8:31-39 If God is for us, who is against us? 33 Who will bring a charge against God's elect? ... 35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ?... 37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Christians have a Kingdom; and it is not of this world! The Lord reigns. He is in control, always has been, always will be. We must trust Him. John 18:36 Jesus answered,“My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.”

When man’s law contradicts God’s law, the choice should be easy, “We must obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:29). So the most important question ever is; “Are you a faithful citizen of the Lord’s Kingdom, His church?” If not I would love to study with you using nothing but our Bibles.

Seasonal Allergies
Affecting Your Life?
Each year seasonal allergies continue to get worse. People who have never had allergies in the past are all of the sudden suffering from seasonal allergies. There are many common symptoms from allergies such as: runny nose, itchy eyes and throat, swollen eyes, fatigue… What most people don’t know is that allergies lead to other (secondary) problems as well: sinus infections, pneumonia, chronic cough, upper respiratory infections, ear infections… If the allergies can be stopped, then the secondary conditions…may never start. Do you have to change your lifestyle due to your allergies? Are you avoiding going outdoors during certain times of the year? Do your allergies dictate your social calendar? Are allergies affecting your sleep? Are you tired of being sick? Allergy testing and treatment may be your answer. Seasonal allergy testing is traditionally performed with a “skin test.” This test puts a small amount of different allergens (such as ragweed, pollen, dust mites, grasses, etc.) in liquid form onto your skin and the doctor measures your skin reaction. This is a painless 20 minute test that we perform in our office. We test the 70 most common Midwest allergens.

Once you know what you are allergic to, you can now avoid that allergen. You can also receive treatment for the allergies through a desensitization process that will teach your body to stop reacting to the ragweed, grasses, trees, etc. There are two forms of treatment: Traditional allergy injections or Self-administered treatment in your home Farah Malik, MD provides both options for her patients. Most patients choose the self-administered treatment in their home as it is more convenient, less painful, and less expensive. Allergy testing and treatment is covered by most all insurance companies (Medicaid excluded). Dr. Malik has been providing allergy treatment for more than 2 years and nearly every patient has responded well as evidenced by the results with repeat the allergy skin testing and overall reduced allergy symptoms. What are you waiting for? Call today to schedule your ALLERGY EVALUATION with Dr. Malik.

Summer classes, Mighty Explorers at Yorkville
Cheyne Charles of Oswego has been taking her daughters, Taylor, 11 and Jordyn, 7, to Kids Connections for four years. She said she appreciated that the park district makes use of the gyms of local elementary schools, which means a larger space for children as opposed to a smaller playground. She also appreciated how the park district keeps them active with special trips. “They can go to a gym and play basketball and larger games than in a day care center,” Charles said. “We’re part of the summer program right now, so they have different field trips. They’ve gone to movies, roller skating, plus they get to the civic center and go swimming twice a day. It’s been great, the hours work for me.” For information about Kids Connection and other
The Yorkville Parks and Recreation Center offers a variety of activities for children both with their Mighty Explorers and Summer Sports Leagues. “Our Mighty Explorers is a camp meant for kids ages 5 to 7,” said Shay Remus, Superintendent of Parks and Recreation for Yorkville. “These classes are a weekly theme each week. We’ll make crafts, read books and do some really creative stuff with the kids, like ‘I Spy’ and ‘Mad Scientist.’” Rex Slocum, 5, of Yorkville, said he appreciated the classes on water safety. The chance to swim was also a bonus. “I was excited to wake up every morning to go to Safety Town, and I was sad when it was over,” Rex said. “My favorite part was learning
about water safety because I love swimming and I always want to stay safe near the water.” For informatoin, visit www.yorkvilleparksandrecreation.com.

Smile! It Will Make You and Others Happy!
Light in a messenger’s eyes brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones. Proverbs 15:30
There is a very interesting psychology experiment where you trick people into either smiling or frowning without their knowing it (by telling them to hold a pencil either in their teeth, to make them smile, or with their pursed lips, to make them frown), and while they hold that facial position you tell them a joke. Those who are holding the smile usually rate the joke as being funnier, presumably because they are already halfway laughing to start with. The moral of the experiment, if experiments can be said to have a moral, is that our bodies often take the lead in making us feel happy or sad, or calm or anxious. Droopy, lackadaisical posture will make you feel defeated while standing up tall and strong will make you feel like a winner. So smile, even when you don’t feel much like smiling, or perhaps especially when you don’t feel much like smiling. And an added benefit to smiling is that it tends to spread the happiness. Have an attitude and a countenance that is worth catching. - Christopher Simon

There are many beneficial insects and pathogens in the home landscape that can help gardeners manage destructive insect populations without ever opening the pesticide cabinet. Common to the yard are insect predators, parasitic wasps and natural pathogens that all work to our advantage. Some insects provide immediate control like lady bugs that feed on aphids. There are others, like the parasitic wasp that lays its eggs on or inside an insect pest that later emerge to find additional pests to become hosts to their eggs. Predator insects can have an appetite for all forms of the pest, often eating eggs, young adults and adult forms of the insect. Natural pathogens could be fungi, bacteria and nematodes. These can attack the larvae or caterpillar stages above or below ground. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is an example. Cabbage worms and the tomato hornworm are common targets in the vegetable garden. The natural rise and fall of lawn insects, like sod webworm, that live in the soil can be attributed to natural pathogens, too. With all the wet weather we have been experiencing, bacteria and fungi are doing very well. With beneficial insects, the goal is to invite and keep them in your yard so they are there when an outbreak of destructive insects occurs.
DOWN THE GARDEN PATH Richard Hentschel Gardeners can initially introduce lady bugs, for example, but without something to eat to keep them in the landscape, they move away to find something to eat elsewhere. One approach is to plant what is called trap crops or trap plants. These plants are very attractive to destructive insects, which then are available to the predators. These plants are never treated with an insecticide. Later when there is an outbreak in the garden or on a shrub, predators are there to take care of the problem. Trap crops are typically placed at the edge of the garden or nearby. Gardeners also can augment existing populations by introducing additional predators to help out those already in the garden and landscape. A more passive approach would be to make sure your garden contains flowers that those natural enemies are drawn to. Plants in the carrot, aster, pea and mustard families are good examples. The carrot family contains several of our herbs we use, including dill and fennel, and the aster family has several of our flowers, such as coneflower, coreopsis, and cosmos. The mustard family has the mustards, sweet

The Foundation is a non-profit organization serving the 4-H Youth Development Program, in cooperation with University of Illinois Extension. All proceeds will help support 4-H Youth Development scholarships and the community programs, in-
Gardeners, Master Naturalists and Nutrition and Wellness. A two-chop dinner is $12, one-chop dinner is $11, and a pork-burger meal is $7. The Kendall-Grundy Pork Producers donate their time to prepare the meal and grill the fresh pork chops and pork-burgers. University of Illinois Extension Council and 4-H Foundation members, Master Gardeners, 4-H Club leaders and 4-H members all donate their time to set up, serve and
alyssum and others. Biological management of destructive insects then involves a wide range of naturally occurring enemies, which together can manage insect populations. If there is still a need to use a pesticide, use one that is safe for the predators. An example of one that is not friendly is a miticide, making no distinction between a predator mite and a destructive one. Bt is a natural pesticide that can control specific worms without harming desirable moths and butterflies. In all cases, when there seems to be a problem in the landscape or garden, be sure to identify the insect first to be sure that is the one actually doing the damage. Predator insects also have different stages that may look like they are the ones doing the damage. Lady bug adults are easy to spot, yet the larvae stage looks much different and is often mistaken for the insect doing the actual damage. Questions about your yard or garden? The Kendall County Master Gardener Help Desk is open for the season. Trained volunteers can answer your tree, garden, lawn and other horticulture questions from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at 630-553-5823.

Youth develop skills with community and 4-H volunteers Dozens of local kids and teens joined Kendall County 4-H in June for a diverse line-up of summer enrichment opportunities through University of Illinois Extension. Led by local volunteers, June workshops focused on a variety of 4-H project areas, including animal care, foods, horticulture, welding and visual arts. “We appreciate all of our volunteers for sharing their valuable time and expertise through our 4-H summer workshop series,” said Kim Eisnaugle, 4-H Youth Development Program Coordinator for Kendall County. “Whether the participating youth were 4-H’ers preparing for the fair or community members trying new things and developing new skills, these fantastic volunteers helped make their summer more special.” Volunteers included: Yorkville School District art teacher Lauren Campbell; Mark Gloudeman, assistant professor of welding at Waubonsee Community College; local artist Jeanne Dennis; Kendall County 4-H Show superintendents Amber DeLancy, rabbits, Lynn Rott, horticulture, Dave Gemmer, poultry and Anne Sears, food and nutrition; swine producer Mike Hufendick; and 4-H members Evie Martin, James Martin, Haley Morris, Sar-

Four Seasons Summer Series continues in July Registration is open for two of the University of Illinois Extension’s Four Seasons Gardening programs, which focus on environmental stewardship and yard landscape. Each program will be led by Extension experts and presented via teleconference at county offices. Horticulture Educator Sonja Lallemand will lead “Where the Wild Things Grow – Native Plants” at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 14, at the Extention office in Yorkville. Suburban gardens tie our homes to the surrounding landscape, provide an outlet for artistic expression, are a source for natural beauty, and offer refuge from a hectic world. This presentation will introduce ideas on designing your landscape with Illinois native plants that nurture and feed wildlife, bring residents joy and require minimal care. “Don’t Blame the Camera: How to Take Better Landscape Photos” will be led by the Extension’s Chris Tidrick. Whether using a digital SLR, a point-and-shoot camera or even a cell phone, Tidrick will teach the basic techniques of great garden photography at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 28, in Yorkville. Each class is $10 per person. Advance registration is required at least one week before the program. For more information, visit the “Register Online” section at web.extension.illinois.edu/dkk and look for the “Four Seasons” link for Kendall County.

FOOD TIPS Celebrate ice cream during July After splashing in the pool, rooting on your favorite team or playing in the backyard, nothing beats the end of a long summer day like a cool, classic treat. So grab the kids, some bowls, spoons and the trusty old ice cream scoop and dig in. July is National Ice Cream Month, and aficionados agree that when it comes to the best tasting ice cream, “fresh” is the must-have ingredient. For nearly 80 years, Blue Bunny has been making premium ice cream using only the best, locally-sourced milk from within 75 miles and turning it into out-of-this-world ice cream in less than 24 hours. Dial up your summer fun with the freshness of ice cream and fruit with the recipe below from Blue Bunny.

Healthy gratin By the editors of RELISH MAGAZINE “Gratin” or “au gratin” refers to a dish that has been sprinkled with bread crumbs or grated cheese and browned. In this casserole, a layer of sliced tomatoes is arranged over the top before it’s sprinkled with mild Muenster cheese. As the gratin bakes, the cheese melts into the tomatoes and turns a rich golden brown. When the plate comes out of the oven, the filling will be juicy, but after a few minutes the rice absorbs some of the liquid. The rest can be spooned over each portion. To complete the menu, serve leafy greens tossed in a tangy Dijon vinaigrette and a loaf of crusty whole-grain bread.
Brown Rice, Broccoli and Spinach Gratin Q 3 cups bite-size broccoli florets Q 2 cups cooked brown rice Q 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and water squeezed out Q 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese Q ¾ teaspoon dried crushed rosemary Q ½ teaspoon salt Q 1⁄8 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper Q 1 cup tomato juice Q ½ cup water Q 2 (about 4-ounce) tomatoes, thinly sliced Q 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Muenster cheese Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Coat a 10-inch pie plate with cooking spray. Steam broccoli in steamer rack over boiling water until bright green and just tender, about 4 minutes. In large bowl, combine rice, broccoli, spinach, Parmesan, rosemary, salt and pepper. Spoon into pie plate. Pour tomato juice and water over top. Arrange tomatoes over top. Sprinkle with Muenster. Bake 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand a few minutes before serving. Serves 4 to 6.

Lung cancer risk high for seniors Lung cancer – the leading cause of cancer deaths among American men and women – occurs most commonly between the ages of 55 and 65, according to NIH Senior Health. Symptoms of lung cancer include a persistent cough, hoarseness, shortness of breath, weight loss and chest pain that gets worse with deep breathing, coughing or laughing. One way to massively reduce your risk is to stop smoking.

of the last 6 decades By DANIELLE ISBELL Spry Living
I
n the last decade, we’ve seen the rise of YouTube toning gurus, Crossfit devotees and Zumba instructors attempting to fuse exercising with a dance party. Have you ever wondered which of these trends are old workouts rearing their heads and what past workouts are buried deep in the archives of health history? Join us in taking a look at the last six decades’ biggest fitness trends.
1950s The ’50s were all about rhythmic exercises, jumping jacks, calisthenics and the “Five Basic Exercises.” Jumping jacks were developed during World War II in order to improve the dismal cardiovascular shape of soldiers, and the movement entered the mainstream in the coming decade. “Five Basic Exercises” required participants to alternate between five exercises for 15 minutes three times a week. (Sounds kind of like circuit training, huh?) But nothing quite caught flame like the hula hoop. In the first year that hula hoops were distributed in the U.S., Americans bought 100 million hoola hoops.
1960s What a decade for fitness. In the ’60s, we re-popularized massage belts from the 1850s that apparently vibrated away areas of unwanted fat; we ordered many a trim twist rotating board to whittle away at that waist; and we participated in stretch classes designed for the working woman. Diet soda and artificial sugar became popular ways of eating healthier (oh, the horror!), but Weight Watchers was founded in 1963 (so it’s not all bad).
1970s Thankfully, we traded in massage belts for body building and jazzercise in the ’70s. Granted, we did see the advent of the sauna belt trim jeans (which were to be worn while performing “magic torso” exercises), but this passing fad was short-lived.
invented in the 1960s by NASA’s Dr. Kenneth Cooper, no one really cared until Jane Fonda stepped onto the workout scene with her new book and videos. Aside from aerobics, indoor cross-country ski machines and racquetball clubs were other popular ways we got fit in the ’80s.
1990s Tae kwon do aficionado Billy Blanks started tae bo, a high-intensity form of martial art designed for anyone trying to get into shape, and we can thank the ’90s for starting the bootcamp trend that still isn’t over. And how many of us still remember the Cindy Crawford “Shape Your Body” video?
2000s At the turn of the century, our “staying fit” options exploded. From street dance with the cool kids to pilates, kickboxing and more weight-lifting exercises for women, a whole new world of fitness was at our fingertips. Workouts were more scientifically based and heart rate became an essential measure of just how effective your work was. Let us also remember the introduction of the iPod to your cardio routine. Goodbye skipping CD players, we don’t miss you.
Now Halfway through this decade and we’ve already seen the rise of P90x, YouTube fitness bloggers, H.I.I.T., crossfit, tabata, bodyweight training and endless types of group fitness classes. There are a couple of arising themes so far: we tend to look down on total cardio bunnies and instead emphasize toning circuits or cardio that involves a fluctuating heart rate. But who’s to tell what’s to come in the rest of this decade.
1980s Jazzercise was still going strong in the ’80s, and its little sister, aerobics, experienced newfound popularity. Although aerobics was

A new survey conducted by DSM Nutritional Products shows that while consumers want to improve their overall nutrition and wellness, they don’t know where to start, and say they are confused about the science behind nutrition recommendations. Start assessing your nutritional intake by knowing how these important, but little understood, nutrients contribute to your overall health and where you can find them: Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, known often as the “sunshine vitamin,” that functions as a hormone in the body to regulate the way calcium is metabolized. It is especially critical for bone health in adults and children. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant vitamin; it is found in nuts, seeds, vegetable oils and greens, and plays a role in eye, heart and brain health. DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids that are essential nutrients for many aspects of health. They are found primarily in fatty fish like salmon and are especially good for eye, heart and brain health.

HERBS 101
Getting the best harvest from your garden By Laura Firszt Networx
F
resh herbs are packed with delectable taste and aroma, adding piquancy and nutrition to your cooking. They also are fantastic as refreshing iced herbal tea or natural health remedies. Yet another advantage is that most herbs grow rapidly and are easy to care for, making them a great project for novice gardeners. Just be sure to harvest their leaves the right way, so you’ll get them at the peak of freshness and flavor. Here is our guide.

Top tile trends to dress up floors New designs, styles and technologies are making tile the most versatile and accessible flooring material. Here are some top tile trends to consider for your interior design project: The look of real wood with a rustic finish. Many of the larger-format faux wood tiles mimic the look of real hardwood floors. Less expensive and more durable than real wood, these tile floors are practical yet beautiful choices for active households with children and pets. Details evoke the character of real wood, right down to the nails. Longer tile planks. While standard square tile sizes will always have their place in home décor, rectangular tiles are gaining popularity. New 12-by-24inch tiles are a hot choice in bathrooms and 6-by-36-inch tiles or 8-inch by 8-feet planks are a favorite for living areas. Poured concrete look. While concrete is a trendy design material right now, it’s not practical for every household or application. New tile styles create the look of poured or stained concrete at a fraction of the cost, and with all the durability, versatility and ease associated with tile. Tile options range from long rectangular 8-by-18-inch or 12-by-24-inch planks to 18-by-18-inch squares. Tiles are rectified – the edge is cut completely straight – and grout joints are very narrow to further create the look of seamless concrete.
Herb-picking tools You’ll need only a few basic tools for harvesting herbs: your hands and fingernails for leaves like basil or mint that are to be pinched off, a sharp pair of scissors or a small knife, and secateurs (hand pruners) for tougher stems such as rosemary or sage. When you plan to collect large quantities, a wicker basket will come in handy as well.
The right time to harvest Harvest your herbs on a dry day, early in the morning, but after the dew has evaporated, since dampness may cause them to mold before you are ready to use them. Pluck leaves prior to the plant’s flowering (“bolting”) to ward off the development of unpleasant bitterness.
New growth The majority of herb plants are very forgiving. Snipping a few sprigs to add interest to tonight’s supper
won’t harm them but in fact make them healthier by encouraging strong new growth. Just limit the cutting to no more than 1⁄3 of the plant’s foliage. Chives and lavender, however, should be cut to within a ½ to an inch from the ground. Cilantro, dill and garden cress are the exception that prove the rule mentioned above, since they will not regrow once cut. Lovers of these aromatics are advised to practice succession planting. This means starting the seeds in several batches, spaced out over time, so that when you have harvested one crop, there will be others just about to mature.
Leaf removal Cut off parsley leaves together with their stems, scissoring just before where they are attached to the main stalk. There’s no need to go to the trouble of painstakingly separating the leaves if they are to be used in cooking; the stems, chopped fine, will impart plenty of zest and Vitamin A. Basil should be nipped off with your finger and thumb, or a small pair of scissors, just above where a
pair of leaves emerges from the stalk. This will allow new growth to form, whereas if you leave a length of bare stem, it will wither away.
Planting herbs Maybe you haven’t gotten around to planting herbs yet, let alone harvesting. No worries. Chervil, cilantro dill, garlic, chives, parsley and watercress all will thrive when sown in mid to late summer. Prepare a welcoming bed of moist, well-drained soil, protected from the harshest rays of the sun with shade cloth until the seedlings have become well established. Most herbs will develop the best flavor in your backyard’s sunniest spot. If that coincides with where you are planning to build your concrete patio, there is a happy solution. Set up an herb container garden. Planters full of fragrant herbage make an border for paved backyard areas like a patio or terrace. This is especially convenient when your outdoor space includes a fire pit or a spot for a grill. Then you will have the luxury of harvesting herbs “on demand” for delightful summer meals.

Contrasting grout makes tile pop Using a high-contrast grout color can make the floor pop, and it’s a tactic that works well with mosaic designs. Choosing the right grout color is just as important as the tile you select. Also popular is the concept of mosaic designs that mimic an area rug within a larger section of tile flooring and create the look of custom art within the floor.
