Ribbon cut on expanded library Project added 10,000 square feet, second floor to building in Oswego By LYLE R. ROLFE

Long-time Oswego Public Library District Board President Vernita Hettrich addresses the crowd outside the newly expanded Oswego Public Library Saturday morning. At left is Aimee Long, another library district board member.

news@kendallcountynow.com More than 100 people ranging from babies in arms to senior citizens were on hand Saturday morning to watch as Oswego Public Library District Board members, joined by other local officials and state lawmakers, cut a ceremonial ribbon to reopen the newly expanded Oswego Public Library. The 10,000-square-foot addition to the building on Jefferson Street at Main Street in the village’s downtown includes a longplanned second floor on the east wing. “Charles W. Eliot once said, ‘Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors and the most patient of teachers,’” Terry Tamblyn, board secretary and emcee for the event, told the audience members waiting for the ribbon-cutting. “As a trustee of the library, I have been asked why we would add on to our library campus. Libraries must be going away. Isn’t everything you need to know on a computer?” Tamblyn said, adding, “We say, ‘No.’ In fact, last year we had well over one million

He told the crowd, “As you tour the building, please enjoy

our new teen area, our early literacy area, our new kids’ program room, our small conference room and our new meeting room, open to the community.” “We sincerely hope the view from our new windows will be a highlight,” he said, referring to

the large windows – some almost floor to ceiling – that overlook the Waubonsie Creek Valley, which adjoins the library property to the north. He said one of the future attractions will be an environmentally friendly green roof over the Kids Program Room, a project made possible by a grant from the Community Foundation of the Fox River Valley (Aurora Foundation). Before winter, live plants will be planted on the concrete roof where they will be visible from the east and south ends of the building as well as from the inside.

He credited Dewberry Architects for combining three separate buildings or additions starting with the 1964 section, into one and then adding a second floor. Through the skill of Doug Pfeiffer, Jonathan Tallman and staff members, the building appears to have been designed and built as one facility with a total of 35,000 square feet of space. The firm also designed the 35,000-square-foot Montgomery Campus library at 1111 Reading Drive in Montgomery. That library opened in 2009.

Board weighs sending kindergartners to home schools Closing East View Center would save $550K per year, board told By NATALIE STEVENS news@kendallcountynow.com School District 308 officials are considering closing East View Kindergarten Center in Oswego and transitioning the district’s kindergarten students back to their home schools in the coming years, a move which could save the district about $550,000 a year. The key issue Superintendent Dr. Matthew Wendt asked school board members to consider Monday evening was moving all of the district’s kindergarten students

from East View back to their home schools by 2020. Wendt said he supports the move. “I do. I believe it’s the right thing to do,” he said. Wendt cited several reasons. One, he said, was the “divided siblings” issue, where a kindergarten student is sent to a separate school from their older elementary sibling. Secondly, he said, was the “isolation” of kindergarten teachers at East View. Wendt said when kindergarten teachers are not

down the hall from first- and second-grade teachers it does not allow for collaboration. “As an education expert that must be in place to take us to another level,” he said. The last reason was transportation. Wendt said the biggest issue with transportation are the school attendance boundary lines, which will need to be looked at, although he anticipates that discussion about a year from now, as right now the district is “not ready for it.” There are currently 543 kin-

dergarten students attending East View. If the district moved those students to home schools, 343 of them would qualify to walk to school and the other 200 would be bused. The move would eliminate 16 bus routes, Wendt said, which would cut costs by about $350,000. In addition to transportation savings, Wendt estimated about $200,000 in savings from the elimination of staff at East View. He said the move would likely not include teaching staff, but office and administration employees. “When you take one school offline, you don’t need all of the staff afterwards,” Wendt explained. Board President Matt Bau-

Boundary line discussion likely for 2017-18 • KINDERGARTEN

Continued from page 1 Wendt said that 95 percent of district kindergartners are already enrolled in full-day, and he anticipates that number rising as high as 98 percent if students are moved back to their home schools. Bauman then asked how the district would house the remainder of students whose parents wanted to enroll them in half-day. “Based on 3-4 percent, we’re going to need a few classrooms,” Wendt estimated. He said he doubted all half-day attendees would be confined to one school, but would be at probably two or three schools placed strategically around the district. “Full-day becomes the standard and half-day becomes the outlier,” Wendt said.

That brought up capacity issues, to which Transportation Director Derrick Berlin said in doing preliminary work, “we’re in pretty good shape,” and the impact to each school at this time would be minimal. Boundary lines will need to be addressed, though, which Bauman said would be an issue whether or not kindergartners were moved back to their home schools. Wendt estimated the district would need to make boundary line changes for the 2017-18 school year based on where growth is. Board member Greg O’Neil had some financial concerns regarding the push for all-day kindergarten. “Where are we going to get the money to pay for it?” he asked. He said that the state only pays for half-day and that increasing to full-day will be trying to “add something more to the system to

a community that’s already bursting at the seams.” Wendt said the move would not add “hundreds” of full-day kindergarten students, as most students are already enrolled in that program. He said he wants to “take what’s already happening and move it into their home school.” Currently, the registration fee for full-day kindergarten in School District 308 is $250 a year and halfday registration costs $32. Wendt acknowledged that moving the entire district to half-day and eliminating full-day would cost less as the staff could basically be divided in half, but said that is not what parents want, as shown by 95 percent choosing fullday currently. He said that the move to home schools would create reduce costs due to the transportation and staff

cuts. O’Neil argued, though, that the reduction will be offset by “additional demands for the service” and that the move will add to the capacity of the schools. Wendt said that the only financial change or adjustment being proposed is a savings by not operating East View as a kindergarten center anymore. He reminded the board that the direction they were looking for was just the move of students from East View to their home schools. He said the district would provide research and numbers for the discussion of moving towards full-day as the new standard. Bauman suggested they continue the discussion in upcoming months. The overall tone from most board members seemed to be one of support for the transition.

Continued from page 1 Frederick Quinn Construction Managers was credited for the entire construction of the past two additions as well as of the Montgomery Campus. Tamblyn said John Ellonardo, Jim Erhard and Jack Hayes, worked with Sara Skilton, library director, Maureen Fisher, business manager, board members and the architects to complete the project bringing it in on time and under the $5 million budget set by the board. Before introducing the other trustees, Tamblyn closed with a final quote from Albert Einstein who said, “The only thing that you absolutely have to know is the location of the library.” Tamblyn introduced Vernita Hettrich, board president, now serving her 42nd year as a trustee. “I was thrilled when the district was formed 50 years ago, and I’m equally thrilled today to see this project completed,” she said before wielding a giant pair of scissors to join the other trustees is cutting a bright red ribbon across the front door.

Montgomery backs streetlights at Rt. 30 crossings Village would have to pay for lights as part of highway widening project By JOHN ETHEREDGE jetheredge@shawmedia.com The Montgomery Village Board unanimously agreed Monday evening to support the installation of streetlights at intersections along U.S. Route 30 between Ill. Route 31 and Ill. Route 47 as part of a long-range plan by the state to widen the two-lane highway to four lanes with a center turn lane. Peter Wallers, president of Engineering Enterprises Inc., engineering consultants for the village, told the board the Illinois Department of Transportation is currently preparing initial engi-

neering plans for the project. Wallers noted that while the state and federal government will eventually fund the reconstruction and widening project, they will not pay for the installation of streetlights along the highway. Referring to the cost of the streetlights, Wallers said, “That would be a local agency [village] expense.” Wallers estimated the cost for installing streetlights to light the entire 4.4-mile highway corridor at $1.8 million. If the board chose to install lights only at intersections along the highway, he estimated Montgomery’s cost at between $600,000

and $1 million. Wallers noted the village also has the option of telling IDOT officials it does not want any streetlights installed along the highway. After some discussion, however, board members voiced support for having streetlights at the intersections. When questioned by board members, Wallers said there is a possibility the village could share in the cost with both Kendall and Kane counties for streetlights at the intersection of Route 30 and Orchard Road. Referring to the two counties, which own and maintain Orchard Road, Wallers said, “There is no question we would want to have that discussion with them [about cost-sharing for streetlights].” In addition, Wallers said the

village may also be able to split the cost for a streetlight with Kane County at the intersection of Route 30 and Blackberry Road, which serves as the entrance to an unincorporated subdivision. Board members noted that some residents of subdivisions adjoining Route 30 would voice objections if Montgomery were to have streetlights installed along the entire length of the highway. Village President Matt Brolley, however, said village officials “do get a decent amount of complaints” about the current lack of lighting along the highway. Brolley noted that while the reconstruction and widening project has not been funded by IDOT and is likely years away, he is hopeful that the agency will improve the Route 30 and Orchard Road intersection as a separate

project within the next few years. When questioned by board members, Wallers said it is common practice to have streetlights installed at intersections where traffic lights have been installed. Wallers said he would draft a letter indicating the board’s desire to have streetlights installed at the intersections that the board could then approve and send to IDOT officials. However, Wallers said he would include language in the letter indicating the desire of village officials to continue discussions about the streetlights as IDOT proceeds into its second-phase engineering for the highway project. He noted that the board will not be committing the village to spending funds for the streetlights by sending the letter now to IDOT.

Coroner Toftoy pulls Sign up now for 5K, 10K River Run petitions to run for Kendall County Board LEDGER–SENTINEL

By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com Kendall County Coroner Ken Toftoy announced last year that he would not run for another term after 24 years in office but that doesn’t mean his life in public service will be necessarily coming to an end. Toftoy confirmed last week that he is now con- Ken Toftoy sidering running for the Kendall County Board as a Republican in the 2016 party primary. Toftoy, who lives in County Board District 1 on the western half of the county, pulled petitions last week to run for the seat. Candidates could begin circulating those petitions Sept. 1 and the deadline to turn them in to the clerk’s office is Nov. 30. Toftoy said that he has not started collecting the 69 signatures necessary to complete the petition. “I thought, well, I have some encouragement and I still have a little bit of fire left in me. I thought, maybe I’ll just check it out and see if I’m that type of person for that type of position,” he said. There are two seats up for re-election in District 1. The incumbents currently in those seats are John Purcell and Chairman John Shaw.

Toftoy said that he has not talked to Purcell, but has contacted Shaw about running again. Both Shaw and Purcell said last week that they have pulled petitions but each has said he has not decided whether he will run again. “It’s a surprise,” Shaw said, commenting on Toftoy’s run. As far as his own run for office, Shaw said that he will have to start collecting signatures next. “If I find enough people I’ll probably turn it in just to see what happens.” Purcell’s wife Jacquie, administrative deputy coroner, announced earlier this year that she is running for coroner as a Republican in the spring primary. Carl Gutierrez of Oswego also announced in June that he intends to run as a Republican candidate for the office. Toftoy has yet to make a recommendation in that race. Toftoy said he is thinking about running because people have approached him about it. “A lot of people have encouraged me,” he said. “My office has always been pretty conservative.” Toftoy alluded to previous board members that had bumped heads with him in the past but said he doesn’t have that problem now. “The board, I think they’re doing a good job. I get along with everybody on there, it ain’t like it used to be,” he said. “Let me see what kind of support that I’m going to have. It’s not that I’m running against John Shaw – he and I are very good friends,” Toftoy said.

OPINIONS Take a close look at new assessments Thursday, September 17, 2015 Ledger-Sentinel • Page 4

OUR VIEW

This past Thursday the Kendall County Supervisor of Assessment’s Office published new assessments for all taxable properties in the county in our paper. Property owners should have also received letters in the mail informing them of their new assessments. Property owners should take a long, hard look at their new assessments to make sure their property is assessed at the onethird fair market value required under state law. If property owners believe their assessment is too high, they should contact their township assessor for a review and possible

correction. Mistakes can and do happen. However, if the township assessor is unable to make an adjustment, property owners have the ability to file an appeal with the Kendall County Board of Tax Review for a hearing. The deadline to file appeals at the county assessment office for Board of Tax Review hearings is Oct. 13. The new assessments will be a key figure in determining how much property owners will pay in property taxes next year. Early next year, officials at the county treasurer’s office will multiply the total tax rate of all

the applicable local governmental agencies times the assessed value of each property, minus any exemptions. The product of that equation will be the amount owed. If a taxpayer’s new assessment shows an increase and the total tax rate assigned to their property stays the same or even increases, the amount they will owe in property taxes next spring will likely go up yet again. In the years leading up to the 2008 recession, Kendall County property values rose steadily so the tax rates of most government agencies either stayed the same year-to-year or, in some

cases like the Village of Oswego, decreased. But all that changed after 2008 as assessments fell, reflecting declining property values. Tax rates then rose sharply in many cases as schools and other local governmental agencies sought to keep up with their still rising operational costs. No one likes paying property taxes, especially here in Kendall County, which unfortunately, turns up all too frequently on lists of the highest taxed counties in Illinois and the nation. We would encourage county residents to watch our paper and website (KendallCountyNow.

com) in the coming weeks and months as local school districts, municipalities and other local governmental agencies hold public hearings on their property tax levies for the coming year. The governing boards of those agencies must adopt their levies and file them with the county by Dec. 31. We will highlight many of those levy requests in news articles, and the agencies are required by law to publish their requests in legal notices. Taxpayers should remember they have the right to question any and all levy requests at public hearings prior to their adoption.

Oswego’s Little White School celebrating 165 years REFLECTIONS Roger Matile Here in my hometown, Oswego, we’re getting ready to celebrate a historical milestone. This year, the landmark Little White School Museum is 165 years old. The building was a derelict back in 1976 when a group of committed community residents established the nonprofit Oswegoland Heritage Association with the aim of saving and restoring the building. The Little White School was completed in 1850 as a Methodist-Episcopal Church at the point where Jackson and Polk streets intersect. For many years, the heritage association’s restoration crew figured it had been built in 1854, because that’s when the structure was officially dedicated. But come to find out, back in that era, Methodist churches weren’t officially dedicated until their construction debt was paid off. It wasn’t until a copy of a letter from pioneer settler Elvirah Walker Shumway to her parents back in Belchertown, Mass., was donated to the museum that we found the truth. Writing on Feb. 17, 1850, Shumway remarked of the Methodists in Oswego: “The church is to be finished soon. They are at work on it now. I expect there will be a supper and fair in a few weeks to trim it or put with what is now on hand to trim and furnish.” Interestingly enough, during restoration work, substantial evidence was uncovered to suggest the building had originally stood elsewhere – possibly in the Plainfield area – before being disassembled and moved to its Oswego location. The church quickly became an integral part of the Oswego area community. Services were held in English at the church, as opposed to the German language services held in the German Evangelical Methodist church that eventually became today’s Church of the Good Shepherd United Methodist at Washington and Madison streets. Despite a strong Methodist population in Oswego – the first Methodist meeting was held in the Daniel Pearce cabin in 1833 – financial problems eventually took their toll. The church served the community’s Methodist-Episcopal congregation until 1912 when the congregation voted to dissolve. After dissolution, the church’s congregation joined the German Methodists, and the building stood unused for two years until the Oswego School District purchased it for use as primary classroom space. The building reopened in the fall of 1915 and became known as The Little School

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Before restoration began in 1977, the Little White School Museum in Oswego was slated for demolition. The community grassroots effort to save and restore the building took 25 years to complete. Discover how the building was born, used, saved from the wrecker’s ball, restored, and turned into the community treasure it is today when museum director Roger Matile presents “Rescuing an Oswego Landmark: The Restoration of the Little White School Museum” at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19, at the museum, 72 Polk St. (Jackson at Polk) in Oswego. Admission is $5. For more information, call 630-554-2999 or send an email to info@littlewhiteschoolmuseum.org. where first-, second-, and third-graders received their educations. In 1930, the schoolroom was divided in two, with first and half of second grade attending class in one room and the other half of second and third grade in the other room. Thanks to Works Progress Administration funding, the building was raised and a basement dug beneath it in 1934. Two years later, the WPA funded the addition of a third classroom at the back of the building plus a large main entry hallway. Shortly after, the building’s distinctive bell tower and bell were removed and the building got its first coat of white paint in many years and a new name: The Little White School. Elementary classes were held in the building until the late 1950s when it was used for storage, only to be pressed back into service in the fall of 1960. During that era, the Oswego School District was undergoing an extreme growth spurt and classroom space was at a premium. As a result, the old Red Brick School a block away and the Little White School were both reopened as junior high classroom space. The last classes were held in the building in 1964 when the “new” Oswego High School on Ill. Route 71 opened, allowing the old high school at Franklin and Polk streets to be turned into Oswego Junior High School. The building was again used for storage space and, only subject to minor mainte-

nance, was allowed to deteriorate. Then the Oswego School Board announced it was going to seek bids on the property with the intent being to sell it to a private owner. And that’s when the community got together and decided enough was enough. Oswego had already watched the stately Red Brick School and the Oswego Depot fall to the wrecker’s ball. The Little White School was one landmark they didn’t want to see demolished. So the heritage association was established, and with the active cooperation of Ford Lippold, the executive director of the Oswegoland Park District, a unique three-way agreement was hammered out between the heritage association, the park district and the school district: The heritage association would oversee the restoration project and seek community donations to fund it; the school district would maintain ownership, provided the building’s status as a community eyesore was remedied; and the park district would take over maintenance of the grounds (renamed Heritage Park) and assist with utilities and other costs. It was a successful agreement that resulted in thousands of volunteer hours being donated to its restoration with the close cooperation and support of the schools and the parks. Because of the heavy reliance on volunteer labor and donations, it wasn’t a fast process. Substantial completion of the

entire restoration project was not completed until 2002, 26 years after a group of community residents – including Lippold, Janis Hoch, Marilyn Marklein, Paul Shoger, Frank Wooley and others – met at the Oswego Village Hall with the intent to preserve and restore the building and open a community museum there. In 2010, the school district, figuring the park district and the heritage association had the situation well in hand, turned over ownership of the building and Heritage Park to the park district. And in 2011, the building’s community landmark status was officially recognized by the Oswego Historic Preservation Commission. Today, the Little White School Museum annually entertains more than 5,000 visitors and its collections contain some 23,000 cataloged items. That close cooperation with the Oswego School District continues as each year some 1,300 third-graders tour the building to learn about Fox Valley’s pioneer history.

FORUM VAC is here to help

To the Editor: The Veterans Assistance Commission of Kendall County (VACKC) would really like to get the word out that they are here, and exist solely to help veterans and their families. There are an estimated 8,000 veterans in Kendall County and the VACKC only knows about 1,500. Even if veterans do not need assistance with anything, we encourage them to stop in our office and “say Hi.” These veterans do not know if/when they may be able to help another veteran in need by referring them to the VAC. The VACKC is located in the Kendall County Health and Human Services Building at 811 W. John St. in Yorkville next to the Kendall County Courthouse. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and can be reached at 630-553-8354. Also, those interested can learn more by visiting www. co.kendall.il.us/veteransassistance or on Facebook at “Veterans Assistance Commission of Kendall County.” Chad Lockman Assistant Superintendent, CVSO Veterans Assistance Commission of Kendall County Yorkville

GOP ignoring the truth

To the Editor: July recorded the hottest global temperature yet recorded. A spot in the Middle East had a heat index of over 150 degrees during the day. California recorded the lowest snowpack in 500 years leading to its ongoing drought. In the next several weeks there is a international meeting of nations to respond to the progressively worsening climate situation. From the Republican camp comes Sen. Mitch McConnell’s response that they will undermine any of President Obama’s attempts to impose government action to slow down the carbon growth. These include getting other nations to not do anything by saying China is doing nothing on curbing carbon output. Cap and trade measures will be fought fiercely. The current Republican presidential candidates are on record of looking at climate change as a very minor event. Dr. Ben Carson said he cannot find any science to validate climate change. This brought about a response from California Gov. Jerry Brown, who sent him a copy of a report form the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This is a scientific report by many of the world’s leading climate scientists which supports immediate action to control carbon output before it’s too late. Other Republican candi-

dates are even more outspoken about the non-existence of climate change like Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. Their attempt to speak to the far right of the party is very obvious. This shift is somewhat new as conservative Sen. John McCain co-authored a report called The Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act in 2007. He maintained that position as the 2008 presidential candidate. Past presidents like Reagan and Bush implemented government policies to control

acid rain and pollution. After the Republican failure of 2012, they put out a report called Growth and Opportunity Project, which highlighted their lack of any interest in the long-term health of the planet, human society or their own party. As younger voters feel a healthy planet is becoming a key voting issue, the Republican Party continues to ignore its importance and becomes less relevant. If the party is made up of people who will be unaffected by climate changes due to their

‘Landmarking’ decreases value

To the Editor: Just for the fun of it, imagine a group of neighborhood ladies at a playground commenting on the beautiful flower garden of a nearby home. Several worry the garden may be removed by a future owner. The ladies approach the Kendall County Conservation Committee, which submits a proposal to the commissioners that the present and future owners of the garden must maintain it much as at present. Would commissioners who, with only Mr. Prochaska dissenting, approved doing this with “Landmarked” buildings, hesitate a minute to decree this? Private property has value only to the extent of the benefits expected. A real estate tax increase of $1,000 per year should reduce a home’s price $10,000 or more. Mandated requirements, prohibited uses, service fees not of use to property owners – all are expenses which a buyer capitalizes and subtracts from his offering price. The result can be a spiral downward in home prices. What will a buyer offer for a home subject to zoning

changes, landmarking, rising real estate taxes due to teacher pension reform, etc.? Zoning permits local government to avoid compensating property owners for financial harm resulting from their actions. Contrast this “immunity” with the objections raised to the use of “eminent domain” for shopping centers, etc., even though compensation is paid. We need compensation for zoning, landmarking, and even minor damages. This will “reign” in egregious abuse of municipal powers. Alphonse I. Johnson Newark

‘No Gun’ signs

To the Editor: Bill Engvall, the stand-up comedian usually associated with Jeff Foxworthy, has this routine that goes under the title of “Here’s Your Sign.” The central theme of this routine is to identify a certain group of people by hanging a sign on them. For instance, if you were standing next to your pickup truck and one of the tires was flat and someone walked up to you and asked if you had a flat tire, you would hand him a sign that said “I’m Stupid” that he could wear from then on. Well, from an article in the Chicago Tribune, Lee Goodman and his group, Peaceful Communities, staged a protest in front of the new Mariano’s grocery store in Northbrook this last Aug. 25. Their beef – no pun – was that the store would

State Representative Stephanie A. Kifowit, D-Oswego 84th District

not post the “No Guns” sign and would allow people with concealed-carry permits to carry their firearms into the store. Mr. Goodman says, “We don’t want guns in grocery stores. When people have guns there, they can drop them and they go off. Or they can lose their temper and they can shoot someone, or be ‘a hero’ and then somebody gets shot, too.” So far, in the more than a year and a half that Illinois has had concealed carry, I have not heard of an instance of any of the situations that Mr. Goodman seems to think are so common. Mr. Goodman’s group also carried signs that said “Signs Save Lives.” This is an attempt to convince people that the “No Guns” signs, which businesses can post on their doors, prevent shootings. In fact, it could be argued that the reverse is true. The recruiting office in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the theater in Aurora, Colorado, and Luby’s restaurant in Killeen, Texas, all had “No Guns” signs on their doors. Fort Hood and Sandy Hook Elementary were, by law, gun-free-zones where even people with permits are not allowed to take their firearms. “No Guns” signs and gun-free-zones only keep people safe from law-abiding citizens. Mr. Goodman, here’s your sign. Charles Christensen Oswego

Kindergartners can learn best in neighborhood schools Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your questions at askdrwendt@sd308.org. I hope my responses provide answers as School District 308 continues to develop plans to improve academic achievement. I received several questions on each of the following topics and I hope the information is helpful.

Dr. Wendt: Is there a plan to address large kindergarten class sizes? Do you favor full-day kindergarten and should full-day kindergarten be a part of the vision for SD 308? Is there a plan to move all kindergarten students to their home elementary schools?

There have been several questions posed to me recently about the future of kindergarten programming, specifically if kindergarten will continue at East View or be moved to home/neighborhood schools. Thank you for asking questions and

moving kindergarten students to their respective neighborhood schools. Having given considerable thought to this issue, I can state that I believe the best education for a kindergarten student is in their home/neighborhood school. School District 308 is very fortunate to have a quality kindergarten center in East View. This school is a magical place and the work accomplished is excellent. However, returning kindergarten students to their assigned home/ neighborhood schools will prevent dividing siblings while attending elementary school. There is value in kindergarten teachers and support staff members closely collaborating with first-grade teachers and building support staff members. This can be accomplished much easier when personnel are in one building. I also recognize the importance of school cli-

mate and culture and the relationship each has on education. It is important that parents feel connected to their child’s school. As much as possible, curriculum and other academic plans should be schoolbased, and conversations to improve student learning should involve that school’s community and stakeholders. For me, it is important to have as few of our kindergarten students riding a bus to school as possible. I know transportation costs will be reduced and those potential savings can be utilized in other areas. For all of these reasons, my recommendation to the Board of Education will be to support the move with new boundary lines implemented in the 2017-18 school year to support the framework. School District 308 has a responsibility to ensure all kindergarten students learn at high levels and are well-prepared for first

grade. In my opinion, those students in high school performing well on the ACT, scoring a three or higher on Advanced Placement exams, and doing well in rigorous courses, including courses for college credit are students who were provided with an excellent education in the primary years. There should be no debate on the importance of individualized learning within a strong school community for our very youngest students. It is an investment and the outcomes are worth every penny. Stay informed… and I will do my best to keep you updated on our progress.

• If you have questions, please email Dr. Wendt at AskDrWendt@sd308.org, or via the Community Unit School District 308 website, at www.sd308.org. Citizens may also drop their question off at the Board of Education/District Administration Center.

NEWS 7

School district athletic transportation policy questioned By NATALIE STEVENS news@kendallcountynow.com Bus transportation at the start of the school year normally has a few bumps. But for one School District 308 parent, the biggest issue came not during pick-up or dropoff, but during an away athletic event, and he wants to see some changes for the future. Parent Wayne Harshberger said his son participates in the seventh grade cross country team at Thompson Junior High. Last Thursday, the team was scheduled for an away meet at Herget Middle School in Aurora that was supposed to begin at 4:30 p.m. Harshberger drove out to the

school to watch his son and after a wait found out at 5:05 p.m. that his son “was not making it” to the meet “because the bus driver got lost.” “I think all of us in this day and age have a … phone with a GPS,” Harshberger told the board. “So I’m embarrassed the district doesn’t alert the bus driver. I’m embarrassed that the way I got notified [of the situation] was by staff at Herget.” Harshberger said that district policy, to his knowledge, prevents him from driving his son and taking him to the meet himself. According to the School District 308 Junior High Athletic Handbook there is no mention of the rules regarding transportation, but at

“I think all of us in this day and age have a … phone with a GPS. So I’m embarrassed the district doesn’t alert the bus driver.” Wayne Harshberger District 308 parent

the high school level the general athletic rules and guidelines do state that students must travel to and from events on district-provided transportation. In the case of an unusual circumstance, high school students can have parents drive them, but a form must be filled out ahead of time. Harshberger said he would like

written permission from the board that the next time a situation like this happens he can drive his son, as well as any other kids. “I would like to see in writing why I can or cannot do that and then if I can get special permission to get my son where he’s going,” Harshberger said. In this event, Harshberger said

it was “only a seventh grade cross country meet,” but said that if it had been either high school on a Friday night football game he could guarantee “there would be one hundred to two hundred people in this room screaming.” Harshberger told the board that they are depending on the transportation and asked them to “step back and think about this” so that the situation doesn’t happen again. “I left work early to go see him and that was robbed from me,” said Harshberger, who said he travels often and is not always able to make his son’s meets. “Let’s not let that happen again,” he said.

Kendall County Forest District Kendall senior planner increases preschool tuition fees returns to PBZ department By MATT SCHURY

mschury@kendallcountynow.com The Kendall County Forest Preserve District will be raising its registration and tuition fees for the coming 2016-17 school year. The rate hike, approved by the forest preserve district board of commissioners in a unanimous vote Tuesday, will affect the Natural Beginnings preschool program the district coordinates. Commissioner Elizabeth Flowers was absent from the meeting. The tuition for Natural Beginnings will increase $300 from last year, according to a memo from David Guritz, Forest Preserve District director. The district has two Natural Beginnings Programs – one that costs about $1,325 for a two-day program (will be $1,625) and a three-day program for which the district currently charges about $1,425 (will be $1,725). According to commissioner Scott Gryder, the nonrefundable registration fee for those programs will go up from $50 to $150. “I think at different times there would be people who would put the $50 down and

maybe apply to a number of different places, then decide [to withdraw] when it was too late for us fill that slot,” Gryder said. Forest Preserve President Jeff Wehrli said that the move will assure that when people register their children for the program they don’t take them out at the last minute. Registration opens Dec. 1 for returning students of the Natural Beginnings Program and Jan. 4 for new enrollees. The Forest Preserve District first began offering Natural Beginnings this fall as an outdoor educational program for young children. Wehrli mentioned that the program is also unique because the student-to-teacher ratio is six to one, which is really low. Megan Gessler, Natural Beginnings lead teacher, has headed the program for about four years, writing the curriculum for the Natural Beginnings. The program’s Facebook page says it meets from September through May and “students enjoy daily hikes, indoor literacy-building activities, a nutritious snack, and an engag-

ing variety of skill-building activities.” The program has been so popular that a wait list had to be created. For a student to be placed on a wait list for the school year, families must have another current student or previous enrollee or have participated in a scheduled classroom visit. “Regarding the fees – and I see that we are increasing them, which is wonderful considering the financial situation we are in – would we be better to wait until we are further along with the budget to see if we want to tweak those anymore?” Commissioner John Purcell asked. Wehrli responded that the adjustments being made were “appropriate” and would not chase families away. “This will set this program up to be self-sufficient,” he said. “If this educational program breaks even, I think we sit down and congratulate ourselves.” Guritz added the fee hike is in line with what other local preschools are charging. “These increases were in line with market rates for other programs in the area,” he said.

Sterrett set to begin Monday By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com After operating for about four months without a planner on staff, the Kendall County Planning Building and Zoning Department will once again have a senior planner. John Sterrett will return to Kendall County as a senior planner starting Monday morning, Jeff Wilkins,

the county’s administrator, announced this week. His annual salary will be about $65,000, according to Wilkins. Sterrett had previously been the county’s economic development coordinator before leaving the county to take another position in December. Sterrett had been with the county for eight years. Before becoming the economic development coordinator, Sterrett was an associate planner in Kendall County. “He kind of knows some of the players and how the

Health department pulls plug on budget discussion By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com Kendall County Health Department officials announced the scheduling of a press conference earlier this month to discuss the impact the state budget impasses has been having on the agency and the people it serves. The press conference was scheduled for this past Monday at the health department office in

Yorkville, but was abruptly canceled just hours before its scheduled 1 p.m. start. Dr. Amaal Tokars, Kendall County Health Department’s executive director, issued a statement announcing the cancellation. Tokars wrote that “due to concern expressed regarding this public press conference, the press conference has been canceled.” “This was to be an educational policy meeting in which commu-

nity members and leaders would have been given the opportunity to discuss the potential impact of state and federal budget impasse on community services,” the notice canceling the conference said. Tokars declined to comment further on the issue when asked why the press conference was canceled. The health department provides population-based services such as energy assistance, addic-

tion treatment, food protection, energy conservation education, suicide surveillance, communicable disease surveillance, and emergency preparedness. In a statement issued last week, Tokars and health department officials were critical of state lawmakers’ inaction on the budget. “The continued failure to appropriate spending on these vital services hurts everyone, not just

the poor, the sick and otherwise distressed. It hurts employers. It hurts employees. It hurts our youth, young adults and the elderly. Action must occur to ensure these community services are sustained,” Tokars wrote last week. Kendall County Board member Jeff Wehrli, who acts as a liaison to the health department, said he also didn’t know why the event was canceled.

New course offers students greater chance of success At Waubonsee Community College, our vision statement says that our success is defined by the dreams we help shape, the opportunities we help design and the futures we help create. This year, that vision is carried out in the form of a class tailored to give new students the tools they need to succeed on campus and beyond. In August, Waubonsee welcomed new students with 14 sections of COL 100: Great Beginnings in College and Life. The title of the course may sound bold, but research confirms its potential power. Institutional and national data from colleges,

WAUBONSEE VOICES Scott Pleska both two-year and fouryear, demonstrate that firstyear seminars, such as this course, are an important tool to enhance student persistence toward graduation. This new course comes after more than a year of careful planning, and is the answer to a recommendation from Waubonsee’s Foundations of Excellence Self-Study. A dedicated group of faculty and administrators met throughout 2014-15 to estab-

lish the format and criteria. To do that, they looked to a study from the National Resource Center for the First-Year Experience and Students in Transition and incorporated its key course elements: helping students develop academic skills, develop a connection with the institution, and provide an orientation to various campus resources and services. We hope to see this course grow each semester, as an overwhelming amount of research on first-year seminars connects positive gains in student persistence, higher GPA, an increase in the number of attempted

and completed credit hours, greater student engagement, and an increase in college completion. The COL 100 course is limited to 20 students per class, as that intimacy strengthens bonds among peers and faculty. One assignment common among all the sections is that students must meet with their instructor outside of regular instruction time. These conversations help students locate faculty offices and develop a positive rapport with faculty. Unique to Waubonsee’s course is the presence of volunteer student facilitators to assist faculty. Peers

have a great influence on the educational experience. These student facilitators are leaders in clubs and organizations with a 2.5 or better GPA. As role models for new and returning students, they will volunteer about 45 hours by the end of the semester. This selfless commitment to serve others and help new students succeed is just one thing that sets Waubonsee’s COL 100 course apart from those at other community colleges. This introductory course provides students with knowledge and skills that will be useful throughout their college experience, and throughout life. Classroom

discussions and activities include setting and achieving goals, strengthening study strategies, managing and prioritizing time commitments, and working with individuals from different backgrounds. We’re excited about this step in our ongoing quest to help our students shape their lives and achieve their dreams. Waubonsee’s COL 100 has the opportunity to stretch far beyond the classroom and reaffirms the college’s reputation for being a place where futures take shape.

Kendall County receives two grants for public safety, green space By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com Kendall County recently received two grants from ComEd that will go toward public safety and green space improvement. Sylvia Rogowski, a spokesperson for ComEd, told the Kendall County Board on Tuesday morning that the county received two grants from the company, each worth $10,000. “On behalf of ComEd I want to congratulate Kendall County on winning not one but two grants from ComEd this year,” Rogowski said. “The first grant is through the

ComEd Green Region Program in partnership with the nonprofit Open Lands.” The second grant the county received was through ComEd’s new Safe Communities Program in partnership with the National Safety Council, Rogowski said. Funds from this grant will be used to buy seven automated external defibrillators and seven watertight cases to be used by the patrol division in their Kendall County sheriff’s squad cars. These will allow deputies to more accurately access medical emergencies and provide lifesaving help more quickly. A review committee of safety

experts selected Kendall County from among 119 applications. “ComEd is happy the funding will support your initiative to purchase external defibrillators for [sheriff’s] police cars,” she said. ComEd and the National Safety Council awarded more than $137,000 in Powering Community Safety grants to 17 municipalities located in northern Illinois to support their continuing efforts to improve local safety initiatives, according to the company. David Guritz, the forest preserve district director, said the grant required $10,000 matching funds from the district.

This is the third year ComEd has offered the Green Region Program grant, Rogowski said, which allows municipalities and counties to apply for the grant to help pay for open space projects. Kendall County was at the top of 90 applications the company received this year, she told the board. The grant will be used to restore Maramech Forest Preserve and Tucker-Millington Fen as well as remove invasive plant species from those areas. The district describes Maramech Forest Preserve is as an 86-acre area located at 14780 Griswold Springs Road south of Plano.

Plano man faces 2014 Plano High grad dies in crash murder charges By MATT SCHURY

mschury@kendallcountynow.com

By SHAW MEDIA news@kendallcountynow.com A Plano man has been charged with five counts of first-degree murder in connection with the stabbing death of a Sandwich man early Friday morning in Plano. Plano police arrested the suspect, David R. Acevedo, 22, of the 3800 block o f M u n s o n David R. Street, at his Acevedo residence later in the day Friday. In addition to the murder charges, the Kendall County State’s Attorney’s Office has charged Acevedo with four counts of violation of a bail bond after police said they found firearms in his bedroom during a search of his residence. Police took Acevedo to the Kendall County jail in Yorkville, where his bond has been set at $2 million for the murder charges and an additional $250,000 for violation of the bail bond charges. He was scheduled to appear in court on the charges Wednesday. Acevedo is accused of stabbing Andrew J. Erickson, 23, of Sandwich multiple times shortly after 4 a.m. in the 4200 block of Cummins Street. Police were summoned to the area at 4:07 a.m. on a report of a fight in progress. When officers arrived, they said they found Erickson lying unresponsive in the middle of the street, bleeding from a wound in the chest. Witnesses told police that Acevedo had stabbed Erickson during an altercation and then fled the scene with a weapon in his hand. Police said the witnesses told them the fight was sparked by an argument

over a cellphone. In addition, the witnesses told police Erickson knew Acevedo prior to the incident and that he was not armed at the time he was stabbed. Erickson was pronounced dead at the scene by Little Rock-Fox Fire Protection District personnel. Following an autopsy, the Kendall County Coroner’s Office issued a preliminary finding that Erickson had died from multiple stab wounds. Police arrested Acevedo at his home later in the day Friday. During a search of his residence, police said they found three handguns and one rifle in Acevedo’s bedroom. Police said Acevedo was out on bond and as a condition of that bond was to surrender any and all firearms to the Plano Police Department. Additional items connected to the stabbing were also located inside the house, according to police. Police described their investigation into Erickson’s death as ongoing and encouraged anyone with information to call the police department at 630-552-3122. Assisting Plano police in the investigation were personnel from the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office, Yorkville Police Department, Oswego Police Department, Kendall County Major Crimes Task Force, Illinois State Police Crime Scene Investigation Unit, Kendall County Coroner’s Office and the Kendall County Cooperative Police Assistance Team (CPAT). Police initially identified Erickson as a resident of Oswego. However, in announcing the charges against Acevedo on Saturday, the Kendall County State’s Attorney’s Office and Plano police identified Erickson as residing in Sandwich.

One dead following three-vehicle crash

A three-vehicle crash Ill. Route 52 at Grove Road in rural Kendall County claimed the life of one motorist Friday morning, according to Illinois State Police. State Police identified the deceased motorist as James Hollander, 55, of Lake Forest. The crash involved a 2015 Nissan Altima, a 2015 Kenworth truck tractor with tanker-trailer and a 2000 Toyota Camry, police said. According to the results of a preliminary police investigation, the driver of the Nissan Altima, which was traveling southbound on Grove Road, failed to yield to the tractor trailer, which was traveling westbound on Route 52 through the Grove

Road intersection. The tractor trailer struck the Nissan and then rolled on its side, causing fuel to leak from the tanker onto the road, police said. The Toyota Camry, which was being driven behind the tractor trailer on Route 52, also struck the Nissan. Personnel from the Kendall County Coroner’s Office pronounced Hollander, the driver of the Nissan, dead at the scene. The State Police Traffic Crash Reconstruction Unit is continuing its investigation into the crash. Route 52 was shut down between Grove Road and Brisbin Road for several hours following the incident.

A Plano man was killed in a twocar accident late Saturday night at the intersection of Rogers and Millington roads at the Kendall-LaSalle county line, according Assistant Deputy Kendall County Coroner Jacquie Purcell and LaSalle County Sheriff’s Department. Luis Carlos Rodriguez of Plano was driving eastbound on Rogers Road when his Ford Taurus struck a Ford Focus being driven by Mary Childress, 24, of Millington, which was traveling southbound on Millington Road at approximately 11:23 p.m., according to the sheriff’s department. Rodriguez, 19, was pronounced dead on the scene by Purcell. He graduated from Plano High School in 2014 and was a member of the varsity soccer team.

he noted. “It was a two-car vehicle collision,” Rimgale said. “That’s the second person that died there within a month and the third within a couple of years. They better get some flashing lights or something out there soon. It was almost the same exact location.” He added that there is a warning sign on Millbrook road before the stop sign near the intersection and an overhead streetlight at the intersection was out of service. The crash occurred in LaSalle County, Purcell said, but Rodriguez’s car landed in Kendall County. Rimgale said Rodriguez’s car ended up in a corn field and Childress’ vehicle flipped over onto its side and caught on fire. Childress managed to exit her car before firefighters arrived on the scene, according to Rimgale. “How she got out is beyond me,” he said.

25-year sentence for Plano man in heroin case SHAW MEDIA Nicholas Amelio, 38, of the 3600 block of Bailey Street, Plano, has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for multiple deliveries of heroin to undercover police officers. Chief Circuit Court Judge Tim McCann issued his sentence during a Sept. 9 sentencing hearing at the Kendall County Courthouse in Yorkville. Amelio was convicted in June after a two-day jury trial. He was convicted of four separate deliveries of heroin in October 2014. During the trial, officers from the Kendall County Cooperative Police Assistance Task Force testified how they had repeatedly purchased heroin from

Amelio while working undercover. Each delivery of heroin occurred in the parking lot of a business in Yorkville. On the last delivery, Amelio sold more than 20 grams of heroin before he was taken into custody in the Yorkville parking lot. Amelio has remained in custody since his arrest last October. During the sentencing hearing, Kendall County State’s Attorney Eric Weis, who prosecuted the case along with Assistant State’s Attorney Frank Gorup, presented McCann with 15 prior felony convictions as a factor to support a lengthy prison sentence. Additionally, Amelio’s prior record included four different prison sentences before being arrested on the most recent

charges. No witnesses were presented at the sentencing by either side. In imposing his sentence, Judge McCann noted that Amelio has a “serious and significant criminal history. He had no idea where the drugs he was selling would end up. There are disastrous consequences of heroin use in Kendall County. The defendant is part of that problem. He is a real danger to the community.” Amelio received a 25year sentence on each of the four drug charges, to be served concurrently, as well as a three-year term of mandatory supervised release after he leaves prison. Weis thanked both the jurors who took the time to review the evidence

presented during the trial and the officers from CPAT who worked to remove a heroin drug dealer from the streets of Kendall County. “This individual has one of the worst criminal histories I have seen in my time in office. His goal was to put heroin into the hands of addicts and users without regard to the consequences of his actions. His concern was only money. This sentence should send a message to drug dealers that Kendall County does not want you here and will prosecute these cases to the fullest extent of the law. Hopefully, by doing so, we may be able to prevent another senseless death from heroin use,” Weis said.

Jim Schmidt, Plano School District athletic director, said he remembered Rodriguez as great role model. “He was an all-conference soccer player and not only that, he was a great kid, a great student and a great ambassador for soccer for our school,” Schmidt said. Childress, who was taken to LaSalle County jail in Ottawa, was cited by police for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and driving under the influence of alcohol. Sandwich Fire Chief Don Rimgale said it appeared that Rodriguez did not stop at the stop sign on Millington Road at the intersection. An autopsy and toxicology report are pending on Rodriguez, he noted. Rimgale said firefighters were called to the scene around 11 p.m. on a report of an accident with injuries and a vehicle on fire. This is the second fatal crash to occur at the intersection in three weeks,

Oswego Blue 20, Oswego Orange 12: Oswego Blue (2-1) faced

off against Oswego Orange (2-1). The game started with an Oswego Blue fumbled snap. Orange struck quickly on a 35-yard TD run by Luke Childers to make the score 6-0. After a successful onside kick, Orange marched inside the blue 10-yard line but failed to score on fourth down because of a great TD saving tackle by Peyton Heckman. Blue took over and drove 95 yards on great runs by Antonio Hughes and finished the drive with a 6-yard Joey DeMarco TD. Blue converted the extra point to make the score 8-6. Orange struck again in the second quarter with a 40-yard TD pass from Dylan Allen to Matt Murray.

Wolves post 4-0 win over DeKalb By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com The Oswego East boys’ soccer team snapped a four-game losing streak last Saturday with a 4-0 nonconference victory over DeKalb. With the win, the Wolves are 3-5 overall (0-2 in the Southwest Prairie Conference) entering nonconference action against Elgin (a continuation from Aug. 29) and Lake Park and Waubonsie Valley on the road. “[Against] DeKalb, we played a lot better, did a much better job of sharing the ball and playing as a team,” Oswego East head coach Steve Szymanski said. “All 20 players contributed in some way, which is something that will have to happen a lot more to see these positive results.” Sophomore forward Michael Waclaw scored on a penalty kick to open the scoring for the Wolves, who then saw sophomore forward Manuel Magana score on a junior defender Spencer Moriarty assist for a 2-0 halftime advantage over the Barbs. Magana tallied again on great passing from junior midfielder/forward Jackson Frazer and sophomore midfielder Dawson Johnson. The final goal came a minute later from sophomore forward Ryan Aten on an assist from junior midfielder Victor Cuevas. Oswego East goalkeeper Jake Leonard, a senior, had five saves in the shutout. Prior to DeKalb, Oswego East lost to Plainfield South (3-2 on Sept. 9) and Minooka (4-0 last Thursday) in back-toback conference outings. Against Plainfield South, Cuevas scored on a junior midfielder/defender Mike Bozett assist, and Magana tallied on an Aten assist for the Wolves. It was tied 2-2 at the half before the Cougars put in the game-winner in the second half. Oswego East will not face another conference opponent until Sept. 22 at Plainfield East.

all (1-2 SPC). Against Plainfield East, Oswego’s goals were scored by junior forward Adrian Veseli in the first half and junior Mitch Kearby and Julian Ibarra in the second half. “The win was an offensive explosion [for us],” Oswego head coach Brian Falli said. “Getting the first win out of the way allowed them to relax and just play on Saturday [against Deerfield at the Pepsi Showdown].”

In the first round of the Pepsi Showdown, Deerfield won (1-0) on penalty kicks (3-1) at the Lyons Soccer Complex. “As the underdog and the unseeded team, we had nothing to lose and everything to gain,” Falli said. “The boys played their best game of the year and were able to shut out a top-notch team for 90 minutes. Unfortunately, we did not convert our chances in the shootout, but it has given us a lot

to build upon. The shootout was our first of the year, and we will learn from that experience. The Pepsi [Showdown] is always a challenge no matter who you play and what bracket you play in, so we are excited for the opportunities that await us.” The Panthers also dropped their second SPC game of the year to Romeoville, 2-1, on Sept. 8. “We should have won the Romeoville game, but unfortunately

we did not take advantage of the scoring opportunities that we created for ourselves,” Falli said. After the Pepsi Showdown, the Panthers will return to conference action on Tuesday, hosting Minooka. “Our backline has finally taken shape and the boys are comfortable playing with each other. We are working hard each and every day to get better and grow as a team,” Falli said.

East coach: Unforced errors ‘a killer in Game 1’ • VOLLEYBALL

Continued from page 20 comeback with a pair of kills from Behrends and an ace serve by Burke, and eventually the Panthers tied the game at 12 on a Behrends kill. Oswego junior Kayla Sterr put down back-to-back kills to spark a five-point run. Oswego East head coach Adam Thurlwell called timeout with Oswego leading 19-17, but the Wolves committed a serving error and a rotation error to extend the Panthers’ lead. With a 24-22 advantage, Oswego won the game on a Wolves’ serving error. “We had four missed serves and a rotation error. Five points at this point in the season, you can’t do that,” Thurlwell said. “We don’t have the luxury to have that many unforced errors. That was a killer in Game 1. We worked on grabbing that lead – it’s something we’ve worked on at practice – but sustaining that lead is something we’re going to have to work on.” Game 2 was evenly matched with the scoreboard deadlocked several times before Oswego took an 11-10 lead on Burke’s tip kill. Oswego took a five-point lead, but Oswego East closed the gap with two service points from Bertrand. After Delaney’s attack, Schultz had a well-timed block to tie the game at 19.

Oswego notes: The Panthers lost their SPC opener on Sept. 8 to Plainfield Central, 21-25, 17-25. Sterr and Burke had five kills each while junior Madde Poulter had 14 digs and Burke had 13 assists. Oswego recorded a 25-14, 2519 win over Romeoville last Thursday. The Panthers had six ace serves from a combined four players – senior Gabi Veselik and Burke had two each.

Kuehl had eight kills, four blocks and 15 digs. Schultz had five kills and four blocks with 12 digs and Delaney added five kills, three aces and 16 digs. Junior Katie Ayers had 30 assists and Bertrand made five kills. Last Thursday, the Wolves fell at Plainfield Central 12-25, 20-25.

Oswego co-op wins invites at Lockport, L-W Central By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com For the first time in program history, the Oswego-Oswego East co-op girls’ swimming and diving team started the season with a win, defeating a talented Neuqua Valley squad in late August. “It was great. We knew it was going to be a close meet,” head coach Deryl Leubner said. “It came down to our depth at free-

style. Overall, we had more team depth, and we were able to 1-2 them in crucial events, but we are still learning.” The squad dropped back-toback dual meets to Rosary and Waubonsie Valley before winning the Lockport Invite on Sept. 5 and Lincoln-Way Central Invite last Saturday. Leubner said the two invites were similar and a lot of the same teams were at both meets, includ-

ing Plainfield’s co-op and the Lincoln-Way squads. “We were first and fourth in just about every event,” Leubner said of the Lincoln-Way Central Invite, where his squad won first place over eight teams. “We’ve won this meet four years in a row now. We wanted to make sure we beat Plainfield.” Oswego is not done with the Lincoln-Way schools just yet. The team is hosting Lincoln-Way East

on Thursday before hosting Plainfield’s co-op next Tuesday for Senior Night. “That’s going to be a great meet,” Leubner said of Lincoln-Way East. “Every event we won at Lockport, they placed second, and every event they won, we were second – and it was all within tenths of seconds. It should be a really close meet.” The next invite of the season will take place Oct. 3 in Evanston.

Continued from page 20 With a 21-9 lead, Plainfield North was driving the ball to start the fourth quarter when Ekowa threw a deep pass to Kevin Block for a 54-yard touchdown with

10:39 left in the game. Although the Tigers recovered an Oswego East fumble seconds later, the Wolves’ offense was back on the field when Aguilar intercepted Ekowa for a second time. Neither team could put together a scoring drive in the final 10 minutes. “We always talk to our defense

that if they hold a team to 21 or less, we should be able to win the game. We gave up a touchdown on offense with the pick six. We knew they were going to be a good team. We knew they were going to be physical. I’m not very pleased with the way we responded to getting punched in the mouth, but

it’s Week 3 and we’ve got six more games to go,” Oswego East head coach Tyson LeBlanc said. Oswego East will host Plainfield East (0-3) to celebrate Homecoming at 7 p.m. Sept. 18. The Bengals dropped a 26-0 game to Plainfield South to start conference play.

Oswego East starts week with win Panthers roll vs. Wolves sweep winless Wildcats Foxes; several Oswego East’s Haley Clebanoff makes a play at the net at No. 1 doubles against Yorkville on Monday at home.

duals coming up By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com The Oswego East girls’ tennis team started a busy week off right with a 7-0 nonconference sweep over visiting Yorkville on Monday. With the win, the Wolves improve to 3-1 overall after last Saturday’s Lincoln-Way Invite was rained out. Oswego East will take on Plainfield Central, Romeoville and Oswego in duals before heading to Maine South’s Hawk Invite on Saturday. “Even with a 7-0 win, there are things we saw we know we need to work on,” Oswego East coach Pete Conrad said. “But we’ll come out prepared every single day ... a lot of the teams we play are in the same position – they are playing full weeks because of the rain. ... [But] four wins in a row this week would be very nice.” Yorkville dropped to 2-5 overall this year. “We are inexperienced, but we are trying,” Yorkville coach Frank

To kick off the season, the Plainfield Central football team has shown improvement despite the rough patch the program is going through. The Wildcats have been winless since late in the 2012 season, but they did not get any pity from visiting Oswego on Friday as the Panthers ran away with a 43-13 Southwest Prairie Conference win. “That was a real good football team tonight,” Plainfield Central head coach John Jackson said. “Oswego is going to be really dangerous.” The Panthers (2-1, 1-0 SPC) set the tone as soon as they received the opening kickoff. Senior quarterback Steven Frank (13 of 23 for 168 yards) got the offense started by targeting wide receiver Jumique Phillips (three catches, 33 yards) for a 16yard touchdown pass on a 10-play drive that took a little over four minutes. On the two Panther possessions that followed, Frank hit Brice Robinson for a 22-yard touchdown and junior Elliot Pipkin (three

Simran Singh defeated Bri Pickering, 6-3, 1-6, 10-5 at No. 2 singles. The Wolves’ Mary Webber won at No. 3 singles after her 6-0, 6-1 victory over Kelly Garner. At No. 1 doubles, Haley Clebanoff/Keertana Kota topped Dakota Kinsella/ Same Keane, 6-4, 6-4 in

the last match of the day. At No. 2 doubles, Madison Miller/Annie Carmody beat Gabi Ornalas/Ashley Monroy, 6-1, 6-3. At No. 3 doubles, Oswego East’s Ravina Shah/Angel Javier defeated Amanda Stabile/Anna Halsey, 6-2, 6-0. At No. 4 doubles, Paige Bolda/Alex Miller beat Richa Patel/Michelle Zubek, 6-4, 6-0. Mma Enuenwosu/Karla Padilla from Oswego East topped Ashley Mohr/Makenzie Simmons, 6-2, 6-2 at No. 5 doubles. Prior to Oswego East, Minooka defeated

Yorkville, 5-2. Perez at No. 1 singles (6-1, 6-1) and Pickering at No. 2 singles (6-2, 6-2) won for the Foxes.

Up front, the offensive line gave him great protection.” “[Frank] is really good,” Jackson said. “He throws a good ball and he’s a very good athlete. It will be fun watching him play on Saturdays in the future.” Also reaching the end zone for Oswego were running backs Erik Vargas Jr. (14 carries for 73 yards) on runs of 4 and 3 yards, and Chad Marsh on a 4-yard run. The Wildcats were able to get on the board late in the fourth quarter with a 81yard run by junior running back Lovelle Houston (seven carries for 98 yards), and a 2-yard quarterback sneak from junior Marcus Hayes (five rushes for 22 yards). “We were not ready to play this football game,” Jackson said. “We slid a little tonight, but we’ll get back on track going into next week.” Oswego will look to continue its SPC win streak next Friday, hosting an undefeated Minooka team on Senior Night at 7 p.m.

PREP FOOTBALL: PLAINFIELD NORTH 28, OSWEGO EAST 9

Wolves intercepted in SPC opener 4 turnovers lead to loss; up next is Plainfield E. By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com The Oswego East defense was challenged to hold every team to 21 points or less, and while that goal was met, the Wolves could not put enough points on the board in the Southwest Prairie Conference opener at Plainfield North on Friday night. Four turnovers stalled the Wolves’ early-season progress with a 28-9 final to give Oswego East (2-1) its first loss of the season. Plainfield North rebounded after its disappointing loss to Bishop McNamara last week, and jumped out to a 21-0 first-half lead. “We were in the red zone so many times [last week] and didn’t punch it in. It was a terrible feeling, so for our kids to come back and play the way we did, get up early and get some good momentum – they have some pretty good weapons – I was proud of how our defense played, and our offense too. I thought it was a really good effort on both sides of the ball, and special teams,” Plainfield North head coach Tim Kane said. Plainfield North scored on its third possession of the game when quarterback JD Ekowa connected with Zach Jarosz for a 28-yard score with 1:19 to play in the first quarter. The Tigers’ next touchdown drive was set up by a 43-yard catch by TJ Kane to the Oswego East 2, which led to a 1-yard score by Dillon McCarthy. McCarthy was back in the end zone just minutes later when he intercepted Oswego East quarterback Jaylon Banks and ran in from the 28yard line with 6:31 to play in the first half. Connor Peplow’s third extra point kick was good for a 21-0 Tiger lead.

“I’m not very pleased with the way we responded to getting punched in the mouth, but it’s Week 3 and we’ve got six more games to go.” Tyson LeBlanc Oswego East head coach

Oswego East’s Devin Aguilar got in front of Ekowa’s pass with 4:31 left and the Wolves converted the turnover into their only touchdown of the game.

The eight-play, 72-yard drive ended with a 12-yard touchdown pass from Banks to Stephon Harris. Plainfield North blocked the extra point kick for a 21-6 game. The Wolves started to gain momentum in the third quarter thanks to a big run by Tyran Bailey to put Oswego East at the Plainfield North 8, but the Tigers pushed the visitors back to the 17-yard line after a quarterback sack. Facing fourth down, the Wolves opted to send their special teams unit onto the field and Chase Bruns kicked a 30-yard field goal with 1:36 to play.

Successful plan of attack Panthers avenge early loss to Wolves By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com A sneak preview of Oswego East at the Plainfield North Invite was all the Oswego girls’ volleyball team needed to develop a winning game plan against the Wolves. The crosstown teams met in the season-opening tournament on Aug. 29, and although Oswego East recorded a win over Oswego in the first meeting, the Panthers clinched Tuesday’s Southwest Prairie Conference match at Oswe-

go East, 25-22, 25-22. “We really played together as a team. Oswego East beat us the first time we played them, so we learned from playing them the first time,” Oswego head coach Traci Weiss said. “We knew what to expect, practiced for it and we were prepared. They went with the game plan and we ended up succeeding.” Oswego (3-6, 2-1 SPC) also received a boost with the return of junior outside hitter Holly Behrends, who has been out of the lineup with a concussion, but

made her presence known with seven kills for the Panthers – making a dynamic duo with senior setter Katelyn Burke all night. “She’s only been back at practice for one day this week so she’s still getting back into the swing of things, but she played great,” Weiss said. “It was a great team win.” Oswego East (2-10, 0-3 SPC) was ready from the opening serve, staking a 7-2 lead in Game 1 after early points from juniors Meghan Delaney, Allie Bertrand (ace) and Sarah Schultz.

Oswego’s Brew at the Bridge highlights brewmasters’ art By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com If you’re craving something with a grassy nose or a citrusy finish this weekend, Hudson Crossing Park along the banks of the Fox River in downtown Oswego is the place you want to be. The fourth annual Brew at the Bridge craft beer festival, organized by the Oswegoland Park District, will return to the park from 1 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19. Park district officials expect several thousand craft beer enthusiasts will attend the family event, which will include live music. Kristie Vest, park district special events supervisor, says beer lovers will find many different sudsy concoctions from hoppy and bitter to smooth and sweet. “We try to pick 20 brewing companies that we’re interested in and invite them out so people can get an idea of those 20,” Vest said, adding, “We really are trying to focus on the ones that seem the most compelling.” While many of the beers are from Chicago-area craft breweries, the names, styles and places where the beers are brewed range from the small-time to national companies. The event also includes musical entertainment and food vendors. For $20, each visitor to the event will get a souvenir pilsner glass, five two-ounce taste tickets as well as a guidebook with a list of all the brewers and their offerings. Additional two-ounce tastes can be purchased for one dollar each. Those attending won’t be able to purchase bottles of beer on-site because village’s liquor ordinance prohibits such sales. Instead, the event is about making that first connection with a new beer or brew master, Vest said. In preparation for Brew at the Bridge, the village is also hosting a screening of “Brewmance,” a documentary by filmmaker Shannon Mortimer that centers on craft breweries in Chicago. The free screening will take place at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18, at Village Hall, 100 Parkers Mill, Oswego. Along with craft and micro breweries, festivalgoers will also find beers offered by home brew clubs in the area. One of the those clubs will be the Basement Brew Crew, based in Oswego. “The home brew clubs are a different element that comes to the festival,” Vest said. “We have limited samples and when someone comes in and buys a package they also get three tickets, while supplies last, to try the home

This photo was taken at the 2013 festival. brew club samples.” “I really think we see the future of what is going to be on the brew line with the home brew clubs,” she said. “We really want to pay attention to the recipes and the effort and the art people have put into it and it starts with the home brew club.” Andrew Steinbach, of Oswego, started the Basement Brew Crew five years ago with two of his old college buddies, Andrew Foote and Patrick Millian. He says at the time it was just an excuse to hang out and brew some interesting beer. “We were in Chicago on a cold winter’s eve and had nothing else to do because we were kind of snowed in, and my buddy had a brewing set that we did on the stove top,” Steinbach recalls. The beer, Germany Dunkleweiss, turned out terribly and they ended up dumping it out, but that was the impetus to keep brewing. Steinbach says the kit may have been past its prime and expired, but that didn’t stop them from trying again. “It didn’t really matter what we made that day, it was just fun

to jump into it,” he said. “We figured there must be a better way and we can do this right, and the obsession kind of just took off.” Steinbach said the crew plans to bring a German Hefeweizen, a French farmhouse saison, a stout and a Belgian wit for people to sample. He added that he doesn’t really go for super hobby IPAs that are popular but likes smoother beers like Belgian wits and German wheat beers. “The hefeweizen is by far my favorite,” he said. “I also stick to my stouts and porters.” “We’re going to bring a couple hundred dollars worth of product [to the fest] and get a burger out of it, so it is definitely done for the love of the hobby,” he said. Brandon Wright, a local brewer based in Plainfield, will also be at the festival. He is the owner of Chicago Brew Werks, which sells home brewing supplies, and Werk Force Brewing Co. “We are a small production brewery with a tap room,” he said. They will be bringing a tart peach wit with locally grown

peaches and honey, a farmhouse IPA and a brown ale. Wright and his wife, Amanda, started their business three years ago with the supply shop and then moved into a site just east of downtown Plainfield. It took them about a year to get their brewer’s license and then they began making beer. Wright, who has been brewing beer for about 12 years, says he quit his job as a corporate real estate agent. “I wore a suit and tie every day and decided to give it all up for my passion,” he recalled. He says craft beer is popular now for a few reasons. “Back before Prohibition almost every town had their own little taps and local brewery,” he said. Once Prohibition was repealed (in 1933), the beer business didn’t rebound too quickly, and in fact he says it was about 50 years before craft breweries began to pop up before starting to boom in the 1990s. “A lot of states have changed legislation as well,” he said. With less restrictive laws on

the books for brewing beers that made it easier for smaller brewers to begin making their own, Wright said. He also believes people’s palates are changing with the times. “The millennials are ready for something new,” he said. “The whole idea of macro beer and fizzy water, everyone was tired of that. People are just enjoying good beer.” Some of the local breweries attending Brew at the Bridge include Werk Force Brewing Co., Plainfield; Hopvine Brewing Co., Aurora; Stockholm’s Brew Pub, Geneva; and Pollyanna Brewing Company, Lemont. Beer enthusiasts will also find popular breweries such as Stone Brewing Co., Escondido, California; Revolution Brewing, Chicago; and Lagunitas Brewing Company at the fest. Home Brew Clubs that will be on hand include Basement Brew Crew, Oswego; Spent Grain Society, Plainfield; Wingnut Brew Club, St. Charles; Plainfield Ale and Lager Enthusiasts, Plainfield.

When the individual is special, the funeral home should be too.

MO; her brother-in-law, Vernon Lee Ming Jr. of Yorkville, IL; and her father-in-law and mother-inlaw, Fred (Beverly) Humphrey of Mason City, IA; and numerous great nieces, great nephews and cousins. Peggy loved her family very much and enjoyed many visits before her passing. She also enjoyed the lasting relationships with her classmates, Cheryl (Rick) Brandt, Susan (David) Lancaster and Mike Gardner. Their steadfast friendship helped her through difficult times as she battled fallopian tube cancer over the last 4 ½ years. Peggy was preceded in death by her two sisters, Patricia Thomas and Jane Ming; her brother-in-law, Gary Thomas; her aunt, Yvonne Karkow; her uncle, Walter Karkow; her grandparents, Ira Perkins, Lilian Perkins, Vida Perkins, Harvey Christian and Sadie Christian. Peggy loved the beauty and wonderment of nature and the change of seasons. This drew her and Dale toward Ely, Minnesota. Peggy was courageous in her battle with cancer and lived life in abundance. Cancer may have taken her life, but it never dominated her life. Doctor visits and chemotherapy was just something on the to-do list in between trips out west, collector’s glass shows, Dale’s running events and visits with family. She was a very gentle and caring soul who touched many people, friends and strangers alike in her quiet and caring manner. She was an inspiration to all who knew her and she will be sorely missed. • Continued on page 3

Core aeration of lawn keeps roots healthy is in good health with teaming microbial activity, that, in turn, supports good grass growth by providing critical elements to the grass plant. Core aeration also will assist the homeowner with maintaining thatch levels under a half-inch. Homeowners hearing the word “thatch” often think the worst. In fact, having some thatch has benefits to the lawn. Thatch will act as insulation, protecting the crown of the grass plant from quick changes in the weather, such as a sudden drop in temperature. Thatch also provides a cushion from foot traffic, again protecting the grass plant crown from being crushed or damaged. Coring breaks through the thatch layer opening up those opportunities for air and water movement

DOWN THE GARDEN PATH Richard Hentschel for example. Another benefit is the increased ability of the lawn to remain green and actively growing during a brief drought. If any topdressing is done with quality black dirt or using well-composted organic matter, this material will find its way into the core as well, improving the soil profile. Any kind of organic matter also will support the microbial life in the ground, improving the symbiotic relationship between the grass root system and the microbes in the soil. Research is showing that if the soil

already mentioned. When the core is ejected by the machine, there is a plug of soil that is left on the surface. That soil containing those microbes can now begin to break down the thatch layer from the top down. When the thatch layer is well over a half-inch in depth, using the typical de-thatching machine often will result in the loss of the entire lawn. Coring is a way to recover the lawn without such a drastic measure. This will not happen in one season and other management activities like high rates of fertilizers should be modified. Core aeration alone will

Designed for youth ages 7 to 14, the monthly fall program provides a local educational option for multiple siblings and skill levels. The four customizable lessons are based on age-appropriate, research-based 4-H curricula to promote hands-on learning through science, engineering and math. The topics are: Rockets on Sept. 23 – Using graduated methods, youth will learn about the connection between energy and aeronautics. These

hands-on projects will provide a greater understanding of rockets and the basic principles of how they launch.

Motion Commotion on Oct. 6 – This 2015 National

Youth Science Day Activity explores physics through the relationship of speed and stopping distance. Youth will gain an understanding of motion and reaction time, and connect it to real-life situations. Eco-Bots on Nov. 18 – A past National Youth Science Day Activity, the Eco-Bot Challenge teaches youth to “think like a scientist,” with an emphasis on problem-solving through redesign. The project looks at how robotics and engineering preserve and protect the environment. Plus, youth will create ‘bots from common household items.

benefit the health of the lawn. Combining topdressing with any re-seeding or over-seeding along with regular watering for at least three weeks will really turn the lawn around. Bluegrass lawns have two peak growing cycles in our climate. The greening and rapid growing in the spring is the first one. The second flush, or growth, is more about the root system expanding and storing food reserves in the cooler temperatures of fall. There is still growth above ground and mowing, with a sharp mower blade, should continue well into late fall. Questions about your

Homeowners have likely heard of core aeration as a way to relieve soil compaction in the lawn. While that is certainly true, coring has several more benefits for the grass plant, soil profile and microbial activity in the ground and thatch management. When the soil beneath the lawn is compacted, grass roots grow poorly, staying nearer the surface, and are more readily impacted by droughts. Coring allows the soil to relax and expand into the vacated core. This allows deeper roots. To encourage deeper roots, the core allows more soil oxygen into the profile along with water. Both of these promote deeper rooting of your lawn grasses. Deeper root systems allow better disease resistance,

pples, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar, topped with breadcrumbs, walnuts and butter – what’s not to like? A traditional dessert dating back to Colonial times, Brown Betty may not be a looker, but it’s steadfast and true. This cobbler-like dessert is low in fat and high in fiber. Serve hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Beautiful.
