SERVING PLANO AND KENDALL COUNTY FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS
Super transformation Plano to become Smallville again for annual celebration By LYLE R. ROLFE news@kendallcountynow.com

owntown Plano will once again become Smallville. In August 2011, a movie crew came to Plano to film “Man of Steel” in the city’s downtown. They chose Plano because it had the small-town characteristics they were looking for, according to Nicole Diaz, who has become co-chairman of the Smallville program with Jim Martes. Diaz recalled that the movie team even built a new town so it could be blown up as part of the movie. That won’t take place again this weekend, but a plethora of other activities for people of all ages will be held Friday through Sunday, she said. Diaz, who has her hair styling shop downtown, said residents started meeting with the mayor in October 2011 to discuss having a downtown Superfest each year. That was four years ago, and each year since, a committee of 25-35 people has worked on the project, Diaz said. Diaz said they estimated last year’s attendance at about 10,000 and they expect to have a 10 percent increase this year. She said people come from across the country to the event, and they even have a volunteer worker who comes from Iowa every year. “I got involved in the event because I believe we need to bring the community back together and that’s what I’m all about. Our goal was to bring Main Street USA back to life and to celebrate what happened in Plano in 2011,” she said. “We have brought local businesses together to support this festival. Most merchants have sidewalk sales on Saturday,” Diaz said. The majority of costs other

Dynamic Contracting Services of Elgin was awarded a contract Monday night by Plano City Council members to clear asbestos off the former Monarch property along the north side of Route 34 in Plano. Dynamic, with a bid of $189,465, was lowest bidder of seven firms seeking a contract to do the work. Council members also approved hiring Midwest Environmental Consulting to oversee the work and be sure the entire area is cleared of any asbestos material. Midwest had submitted a bid to charge $650 per shift and $15 per air sample to be tested for an estimated total cost of $25,000. Midwest will be responsible for monitoring to be sure no asbestos is in the air and that the asbestos is removed from all soil on the site. But Alderman Bob Jones said they should set a maximum amount rather than approving an open-ended contract to pay the firm by the shifts it works. He asked City Attorney Tom Grant if the payment method could be changed to a maximum, but Grant said it was set up to be paid by the shift so the firm could bill the city.

Continued from page 1 “I don’t like the idea of it being open-ended,” Jones said, adding that he could not vote for such a contract. Another alderman said he was concerned that if they put a cap on the charge and the cost went over that amount the council would have to hold an emergency meeting to approve paying more to get the work done. It was noted that the way the contract was written, the firm most likely would be able to complete the work for less than $20,000. The final vote was 7-1 for the contract with Jones as the dissenting voter. Blake Mellecker, Dynamic president, explained to Plano City Council members last week how his firm will do the work. The former Monarch property is an 11-acre site east of Plano Molding. It is between the Big Rock Creek and the present Plano Molding buildings north of Route 34 and south of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks. The site had been purchased by the city and was being cleared of buildings that had been razed so the land could be sold for redevelopment as industrial property. Asbestos became a problem about three years ago when a scrap metal dealer offered to remove buildings on the site at no cost to the city in exchange for the structural steel which he would salvage and resell. The contractor was told he would have to remove asbestos panels on the roof and walls of the building with the asbestos intact. But his equipment would not reach high enough on a three-story portion of the building, so he knocked it down, causing the panels to break apart and releasing the asbestos. The contractor then took a bulldozer and spread the asbestos across the three acres. After removing three inches of soil, tests will be made in various places on the site to see if the asbestos was removed. If not, the city will ask Dynamic to give them a bid for removing the additional material. Mayor Robert Hausler said he would like to see the work done as soon as possible so the city can look for someone to purchase the property. But the city will still have other costs after the asbestos is removed. To make the site buildable, officials are saying the city must bring in clean fill to cover any remaining soil that may be contaminated. Company officials are estimating about four weeks to complete the work if they can start in September.
State’s attorney to seek 4th term He has not faced a challenger for seat since initial race to fill vacancy By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com Kendall County State’s Attorney Eric Weis announced this week he intends to seek a fourth term of office. Weis, a Republican who has been state’s attorney since 2006, said he will run in the Republican primary election next March. Weis won a hotly contested election nine years ago against Yorkville attorney Boyd Ingemunson to fill out the remainder of then-state’s attorney Tim McCann’s term. McCann vacated the seat in 2005 when he was named an associate circuit court judge. Weis won re-election twice more in 2008 and 2012 but has not been challenged in either the primary or general elections. “We run every election like there is going to be one and obviously if someone decides to do so, we will address that individual candidate,” he said, adding that he didn’t want to see the campaign go negative if someone else entered the race. “Personally I’m always of the opinion that you run your campaign how you run your life, and I have to live with every decision that I make,” Weis said. Weis earned a Bachelor of Science degree from North Central College in 1994 and went on to law school where he earned his Juris Doctorate and graduated cum laude from Northern Illinois University College of Law in 1997. He began his legal career in 1997, when he was sworn in as an assistant state’s attorney for Kendall County after working for two years as a law school intern with the office.
Prior to his election as state’s attorney, Weis was the first assistant state’s attorney of Kendall County, where he served as the chief felony prosecutor. Weis mentioned his time as a prosecutor with Kendall County and his record, both in and out of the courtroom, as reasons why voters should re-elect him. “I truly enjoy my job, I really do. I don’t necessarily like the political side of things some days, but I truly love what I do as a prosecutor representing those in court Eric Weis that can’t represent themselves,” Weis said. “As long as I have that passion and drive to do it, I want to hopefully continue to do it as long as the voters want me to do it.” Preventing crime, Weis said, is important, as is getting the word out about the dangers of drug abuse and domestic violence. He added that there is one type of case that is unfortunately increasing. “We still see an increase every year over the number of sex crimes against children,” Weis said. “That’s one of those things I wish I could report every year have gone down but unfortunately they haven’t.” However, Weis added that county residents frequently question him about an investigation that concluded earlier this year into how Kendall County Board members collected mileage and per diem payments for attending meetings. “The opinions are one way or another and I can respect both opinions on both sides,” Weis said. “You
have to do what’s right, you have to investigate it and you have to make a determination.” He said it was his job to determine if there was a criminal element to the case. A committee of the County Board voted earlier this year to settle the amounts board members were asked to pay back and all those per diems have been paid. Weis said that he would like to see the board’s per diem and mileage reimbursement systems changed. “We have made recommendations … that these changes still need to occur whether or not the County Board members decide that’s a good thing is up to them, and ultimately the voters have to decide if they want those changes,” Weis said. “I hope the board takes action and rectifies this situation so it doesn’t happen again. But until they do, I think the reality is that it will happen again.” Weis said he also gets asked a lot about the Illinois Supreme Court ruling in favor of local radio station owner Larry Nelson. The judgment said citizens and the media can file Freedom of Information Act requests with state’s attorney’s offices. Nelson has been filing the requests with Weis’ office trying to get copies of emails sent by assistant state’s attorneys. Weis denied some of the FOIA requests, saying they couldn’t be filed against his office. Nelson responded by filing the lawsuit in 2010, which led to the ruling from the Supreme Court. Weis has said that he is complying with the FOIA requests that Nelson keeps filing with his office.

Residents show interest in park district By LYLE R. ROLFE news@kendallcountynow.com Several Plano residents have expressed an interest in having a park district in the city, so Mayor Robert Hausler on Monday night set a date for a public meeting to discuss the idea. “The city is not involved and no one from the council will be involved, but we have offered to
have the meeting in the city council chambers at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 18,” he said. “It will be a preliminary meeting to go over the procedures and to see if there’s enough interest in the community to have a park district,” he said. He said they have been given a 44-page set of procedures they would have to follow to set up a district that he will distribute at
the meeting. Everything would have to be done in accord with the Illinois Park District Code. Copies of the procedures will be available at the meeting. “I don’t have an opinion one way or the other, but Sandwich has a park district,” he said. “If one is formed here, it would most likely be in charge of parks and recreation in the city,” he
added. Hausler said the city has a park committee that is in charge of parks, but this would be a separate government body. “It’s really up to the residents, because there would have to be a public referendum for them to decide whether to have one or not,” he added. He said he has been approached by four people at differ-

Courthouse will provide office to Mutual Ground By MATT SCHURY mschury@shawmedia.com The Mutual Ground sexual assault and domestic violence treatment agency is expected to open a small office inside the Kendall County Courthouse in Yorkville in October. The office will allow advocates working for the domestic abuse treatment center to better assist victims who come to the courthouse, according to Kendall County State’s Attorney Eric Weis. Mutual Ground has been working with the state’s attorney’s office for a number of years, Weis said, but this is the first time they will have their own space in the courthouse. Currently, if a victim needs the help of a Mutual Ground advocate, they are assisted over the phone or have to wait for someone to travel from Aurora. Weis said filing an order of protection can be a daunting experience for the victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. “If you get frustrated with the situation, you’re not going to stick around,” Weis said. “This is something you desperately need in that courthouse.” Weis said he has spoken to Chief Judge Tim McCann, Sheriff Dwight Baird and Circuit Clerk Robyn Ingemunson about the need for the office and they are all supportive. He added that the space they plan to use is a 10-foot by 12-foot gun locker not being used near the entrance of the courthouse, close to where the courthouse security station is located.

This is something you desperately need in that courthouse.” Eric Weis State’s attorney accessible to the public and Mutual Ground staff. Many times, Weis added, domestic abuse cases are not the most “amicable situations.” “If you are going to act out you’re going to act out in front of two or three armed deputies who are there literally at all times,” Weis said. Mutual Ground is expected to provide their own desks, chairs and computers. Staff will be on site five days a week during a pilot program for a month, said Michelle Meyer, executive director of Mutual Ground. “There has been a need for this for a long time and I’m really excited that we are getting moving on it,” she said. The cost to get the office ready is estimated at about $500 to $700, according to Weis, which could come out of the county’s budget or else they can raise the funds privately. He added that a lease for the space is still being worked out between Mutual Ground that may cost a couple hundred dollars a month. He added that finishing the office arrangement in October will be fitting, as that month is National Domestic Violence Abuse Awareness month.

OPINION
Thursday, August 13, 2015 Plano Record • Page 4
Millwrights helped build the Fox Valley Pioneer farmers were vital to settling the frontier, but so was an enterprising group of skilled businessmen. Pioneer millwrights closely followed the tide of settlement as it moved west, with saw mills and grist mills providing some of the first economic services for new frontier communities. Pioneer millwrights were an interesting group of fellows. Millwrights had to know a little about an awful lot of things: how to identify the best spots for a dam, how to build a dam and millrace, how to build a mill building, how to build the milling machinery and how to operate the milling business after construction was finished. In the early days, virtually everything in the mill was made of wood, from the building itself to the machinery the mill building housed. About the only non-wooden items in the earliest mills were the millstones in grist mills and metal saw blades in saw mills. Two of the county’s first millwrights, John Schneider and Ebenezer Morgan, arrived here at about the same time. Schneider came west from New York to Chicago in 1832, and Morgan arrived with his family a year later, also from the Empire State. Schneider first traveled west from Chicago to Capt. John Naper’s settlement on the DuPage River, where he helped Naper build a dam and mill. In 1833, Schneider explored west of the DuPage and found an excellent mill site on the west bank of the Fox River at the mouth of Blackberry Creek. Schneider marked his claim and then went back to help Naper finish his mill. Morgan claimed land along the small creek that would one day bear his name, located just south of Oswego. The fall of 1833 saw the arrival of Levi Gorton and Benjamin Phillips from Pennsylvania and John and William Wormley, who walked to the Fox Valley from New York prospecting for likely land. All four men settled near what eventually became Oswego. The contributions of Gorton and the Wormleys to the area’s pioneer mill history would be considerable. By late 1834, Schneider and Morgan both had primitive saw mills in operation, Schneider at his Blackberry Creek location and Morgan on Morgan Creek. In 1835, the Clark family moved to Kendall County, with brothers Josiah, Joseph, Porter and Merritt settling along the east side of what was called the Little Rock timber in modern Little Rock Township. With Schneider and Morgan sawing lumber for the
Daniel Gray built this large gristmill of native limestone along the west bank of the Fox River in Montgomery in the early 1850s. In design and function it was much like similar mills along the Fox River at Oswego, Yorkville, Millington and Millbrook.
REFLECTIONS Roger Matile arriving settlers, Merritt Clark decided that a grist mill to grind flour might be a good venture since the nearest place settlers could get flour ground was at Plainfield. In 1836, he hired Levi Gorton and William Wormley to help build a dam across the Fox River just north of the brand new village of Hudson – soon to be renamed Oswego. Clark ground flour at his new mill, which was located on the west bank of the river, and then decided settlers might pay to buy some furniture for their new homes. According to the Rev. E.W. Hicks, Kendall County’s earliest historian, Clark added a small chair manufactory at his corn mill. Hicks says Clark made wooden chairs at his mill in 1836, and noted that in 1876 some of them were still in existence and were valued by their owners. Soon after, Clark apparently sold his business to Levi Gorton and his brother, Darwin, who built a better mill on the site, this one with real millstones and a better dam. William Wormley again helped build the Gortons’ dam – something he had helped Clark to do, as well as for Samuel McCarty in Aurora. The Gortons’ grist mill began operation in 1837, and probably helped Levi accumulate enough money to build an elegant Greek Revival limestone house on the bluff overlooking his mill and dam. The house still stands on Ill. Route 25 just south of the Oswego Presbyterian Church, although it now sports classical columns added in the 1940s. The Gortons owned the business until selling to Nathaniel Rising and John Robinson in 1840. Rising and Robinson also expanded, improving the grist mill and adding a store. In 1848, Johnson dropped out of the partnership and Zelotus E. Bell joined Rising to lay out the new village of Troy that encompassed both sides of the dam across the river, just north of Oswego. In 1850, Rising sold Troy and the mills to William Parker, a native of Canada, who carried on the business until water-powered mills became obsolete some 40 years later. Down near Millbrook in 1837, George B. Hollenback and a Mr. Eldering built a dam across the Fox River, and then cut a millrace into the rock beside the river. They then built both a saw and a grist mill, which were powered by an overshot water wheel, 24 feet in diameter. Hollenback and Eldering sold out after four years, and the mill,

after doing good service for settlers in the area, was washed away by a particularly strong spring flood a few years later. From Montgomery in the north to Millington in the southwest, mills sprouted along the banks of the Fox River in and near Kendall County. Most of the county’s creeks also
sported mills, with Waubonsie Creek in Oswego also powering, among other things, a broom factory. But the era of water power ended when steam engines became economical sources of power. Then steam in its turn was made obsolete when the internal combustion engine was perfected. Im-
proved transportation systems meant that flour and lumber could be shipped to the Fox Valley’s towns cheaper than it could be manufactured locally. Today, we still use products, from lumber to flour, produced in mills, but the mills are far away. For the most part we can no longer see the common products
we use on a daily basis being made in our own communities. Although gone and largely forgotten, the legacy of Kendall County’s pioneer millwrights lives through the progress they helped fuel.

To the Editor: On Thursday, July 30, while traveling on Ill. Route 71 approaching the Kendall County Fairgrounds in Yorkville, I witnessed our own Kendall County Sheriff Dwight Baird in the hot sun directing traffic at the main entrance to the fairgrounds. It is truly refreshing to see a public servant such as Dwight willing to do the not-so-glamorous duties instead of sitting behind a desk in the air-conditioned public safety center.

Do reforms grow economy?
To the Editor: This week our governor got an up close look at a mentor, presidential candidate governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin. Walker, the love child of the far right-wing American Legislative Economic Council and the billionaire Koch brothers, is touting his anti-labor rhetoric beyond the boundaries of Wisconsin. He caught the ear of governor Rauner, who is enthralled with the idea that no labor representation means a better economy. In fact, Walker says “Collective bargaining is the enemy of good government,” as quoted in his book “Unintimidated.” But does beating down public unions actually do anything positive for the taxpayer? Walker said it would create jobs. Wisconsin lags its other neighboring states in job creation. He said it will save taxpayers money. But Walker had to fill holes in his recent budget by cutting education and transportation. The people who will save money in the state will be married couples who got a boost in their standard deduction. Pennies on the dollar. Meanwhile the state flounders. While people see a drop in taxes they see a boost in fees. If you are a sportsman or someone who enjoys the outdoors, you pay more to get into state parks. What he giveth, he takes away. So what does Mr. Walker bring to the table for our governor? The litany of an anti-union, pro business budget. Cuts he claims will help the average citizen through what he calls reforms. Eliminate collective bargaining and institute reductions in meaningless areas like workman’s compensation and disability claims.
How does that impact the average citizen? How does that impact a business? Maybe cuts their costs down. But do they pass that cost savings to the customer? It seems like our governor is positioning himself as a guy who one day will be buying businesses again and wants them more valuable. While we cut wages from public sector employees, they will spend less in our communities. Exactly how do these reforms grow our economy, as our Republican elected officials say they will? While Mr. Rauner is browbeating lowly state pensioners over pension costs, he conveniently allowed a newly hired state employee to essentially game the system. Rauner’s hand-picked choice for state school superintendent is Tony Smith from California. Mr. Smith is supposed to be paid under the Tier II system, put into place for all new state employees hired as of Jan. 1, 2011. This was supposed to put limits on pension payouts so to get
some control on the $100 billion shortfall in the state pension plan. Mr. Rauner ran on the platform of tackling the problem and then goes out and hires the top school administrator
and puts in a special stipend so this new employee would not be encumbered by the new rules and thus gets the more generous Tier I benefits. The benefit adds almost $1,000 a paycheck to
Mr. Smith’s $225,000 yearly salary. It seems the rules only apply to the guys at the bottom. Ed Washak Yorkville

Threshing rings in the olden days By KRISTY LAWRIE GRAVLIN For Shaw Media Back in Biblical times, grain had to be threshed to separate the heads from the stalks – and it wasn’t easy. Even at age 10, hearing about the work they had to do, I was farmer enough to realize what effort they had to put into the process. And they did it for thousands of years before improvements of importance were made. In the 1850s, the city of Plano began to see machines invented and manufactured to do the job. A number of the factories that built helpful machines were located in Plano and were the places where Planoites earned their living and fed their families by working in those factories. By the time my father and uncle (Bob and Earl Lawrie) were young men, the marvelous improvements known collectively as “threshing” were on the farming scene. In this picture taken in 1920, I can recognize my grandfather, Bill Lawrie, on the left, standing on a full wagon, and driving a team. On the far right is my uncle Earl, pitching shocks of grain into the threshing machine. He would have been 15 years old at the time. To the left of Earl, on the thresher and watching closely how well it is working, is my dad, Bob, who would have been 17. As a child I was sure that the three of them could handle any farming job easily and successfully. By August of 1927 the “boys” had gone together to purchase a threshing machine. With that as the most important piece of machinery for the harvesting task, they were soon running their own threshing ring. On the back of one old photo [not shown here] in my collection it says, in Grandma Dora’s neat handwriting, “George Dannewitz on the ‘engine,’” which was a large steam “tractor”.

The author writes: In this picture taken in 1920, I can recognize my grandfather, Bill Lawrie, on the left, standing on a full wagon, and driving a team. On the far right is my uncle Earl, pitching shocks of grain into the threshing machine. He would have been 15 years old at the time. To the left of Earl, on the thresher and watching closely how well it is working, is my dad. The image also shows George Fritsch perched high on the top of the wagonload of bundles. Both men have family members still living in the area. Positioned behind the tractor was a “high wheeled coal wagon” to feed the steam engine. Grandma noted that it belonged to “Billie,” her husband. The long leather belt, which goes from the engine to the threshing machine, is what makes things go. Belts of that sort are powerful, fast moving things. In fact, to this day if I get within about 15 feet of a working belt, my grandfather’s voice yells in my ear, that I should “get away from that belt!” They kill grown men in the snap of a finger! At noon, the women would put
on a “thresher’s dinner” – a meal of very worthy size. Whatever farm they were working on gathered a few women to cook, serve and clean up from a huge dinner for the men. As a child (but not born yet in 1927) it was my job to set out water, soap, towels, mirrors and combs on our north porch. The men came in at noon, cleaned up, and then filled our dining room. A huge meal of meat and potatoes, with vegetables and desserts, was gone in about half an hour. The men were quickly gone and back to work. Then, about 3:30 or so, all the women walked out to the work area carrying lemonade, water and loaf cakes. The thermos jugs and cake pans were easy to take back to the kitchen about 15 min-
utes later, with completely empty dishes to carry. Among those in one photo I have are Grandpa Billie, his parents-in-law Seymour and Florence Toombs, and their daughter, my Grandma Dora Lawrie. Somehow it was always important that the ladies go out and observe how hard the men were working for a few minutes and, in some way, praise them, and then return to fix a good supper for the family. Grandpa’s heavy Case tractor was the first tractor the family had. And it had “lug wheels.” There were shiny metal pieces that were part of the wheel, all around the circle, and it could go through anything! It also left marks in the dirt as it passed. I still remember seeing them in
our driveway when I got off the school bus, and knowing that grandpa was there working with Dad and Earl. Grandpa eventually put rubber tires on the Case … and he used it every year up until the last summer of 1965, usually standing up the whole time, when he had to retire at age 84. The process produced a huge straw stack that would remain there for the next year. It was not far from the barns where the straw would be used for “bedding” – placed on the floor of the horse stalls, or the hog house, to make it softer and warmer … and to make it easier for the farmer to shovel it out with the accumulated manure every so often. Those who have not been raised on a farm often ask how one can tell the difference between hay and straw. Hay is “green” (sometimes a grayish green) and is used to feed the cows and horses. It is made by cutting down the alfalfa, timothy, clover – whatever is available – raking it into rows and letting it dry. Raking again turns it over, and it dries again. It must be completely dry before it is put into a barn because it is far too apt to catch fire at some point … burning down the very expensive, and needed, barn and also destroying the food the animals were to have over the winter. Hopefully, some day you will get to see a demonstration of threshing. There are several places in the state where such events are held. You may even get down to Arthur, Illinois, some time and see dad’s old Advance Rumley Thresher down there. On Aug. 23, there will be a Day at the Farm demonstration at Dickson-Murst Farm of old-time farming techniques. Go to the Dickson-Murst Farm on Dickson Road east of Route 47, south of Route 30 from 10 a.m to 4 p.m. and see it all. Entrance and parking are free.
Learn about harvest history SHAW MEDIA Equipment is assembling for the Dickson-Murst Day at the Farm on Sunday, Aug. 23. The harvest festival features a steam-powered 1909 grain separator demonstration, two vintage corn shellers, displays of antique farm equipment and other farm-oriented activities. Activities at this free event begin at 10 a.m. and continue until 4 p.m. Musicians from the Northern Illinois Bluegrass Association will be a part of the farm atmosphere, as they jam in the shade of the giant trees, or echo in the acoustics of the old buildings.

Threshing Bee and Steam Show runs through Sunday If you go
By ADAM POULISSE apoulisse@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Cassandra Murray has all the fixings ready for her wedding Thursday – but it won’t to be a traditional one. There will be no dress, just jeans and cowboy boots. The bridal march will follow a parade route. And it’s not going to take place in a church – it’s happening at this year’s Sycamore Threshing Bee and Steam Show, which runs Thursday through Sunday at Taylor Marshall Farm, 27707 Lukens Road. Murray will marry Chris Chapman, also from the area, during the steam show parade at 1:30 p.m. Thursday. It will be Murray’s second marriage and Chapman’s third, they said. Murray lost her first husband in 2012. “I’m not going to be wearing a traditional wedding dress. I’ll be in blue jeans, a skirt and cowboy boots. The minister will be in overalls, button-up plaid shirt and a straw hat,” said Murray, 28. “It’s not a traditional church wedding.” For the bouquet: Queen Anne’s lace, Murray said. This year’s steam show will open with a wedding ceremony and close with a memorial to Phillip “Uncle Phil” Blanchard, a key member of the Northern Illinois Steam Power Club who died the evening of Aug. 1. In keeping with tradition, Murray’s father, Dave Stevens, will give his daughter away Thursday. But there’s a twist: Stevens will drive her down the parade route in one of the first built and last remaining steam engines in Sycamore. It was built by the Illinois Thresher Company in 1915 or 1916 and is owned by the Northern Illinois Steam Power Club, which sponsors the annual community event. Stevens will drive his daughter to a designated area along the route where a 12-minute ceremony will commence before the parade continues. The annual show has been like “a second family” for him and his loved ones over the years, according to Stevens, who also serves on the steam power club’s Board of Directors. “All of my girls have grown up there,” Stevens said. “It’s been a part of the family for a long time.” The wedding is taking place with the blessing of the club’s board, Murray said. “It’s unusual because, normally, we don’t have any weddings,” said club secretary Pat Malsch. “This is the first time there’s been a

Digital age looming for local drive-in Earlville business struggling to pay for new projector By ADAM POULISSE apoulisse@shawmedia.com EARLVILLE – When the sun set last Friday, Ron Magnoni Jr. went into the projection booth of Route 34 Drive-In that’s been in his family for decades. With the film already loaded onto the projector, Magnoni fired it up and adjusted the lens, then voilà – a 60-foot by 40-foot white slab was covered with babbling yellow “Minions” in front of 350 carloads of families and friends. It’s like second nature to Magnoni. “I’ve been at this drive-in for 29 years, and since I was about 5 years old I’ve been in projection booths,” he said. “My dad was a union projectionist for Kerasotes.” But the movie business is changing. Time is running out for one of the state’s few remaining drive-ins, about 40 miles south of DeKalb in LaSalle County, to raise the funds to convert its film projector to a digital one. Eventually, the major movie studios will stop printing their movies on 35mm film and only provide theaters with digital copies. The drive-in has raised $30,000 so far for a $70,000 projector. A GoFundMe page has only generated $350 for the projector. The drive-in website also has a link to a PayPal account where donors can chip in. Magnoni already spent $10,000 renovating the projection booth for the digital projector, which includes adding glass and new projection windows to keep the booth climate-controlled. He said he doesn’t know when the movie business will go entire-

Revving up business
Jason Ladson, his wife Shannon and his daughter Isabelle, all from Spring Valley, were the first car in line for the drive-in’s double feature last Friday, which in-
cluded the opening night of “Minions,” followed by the latest Pixar hit “Inside Out.” “I’m excited about it,” Ladson said. “I enjoy the cartoons just like the kids do.” It’s been a blockbuster of a summer at the movies – at least at the indoor multiplexes. While movies like “Jurassic World,” “Inside Out” and “Minions” have seen huge numbers at the box office, the constant rain has kept business at bay for Route 34 Drive-In for most of the summer
because it’s rained most weekends. The drive-in doesn’t operate on weekdays. “The season has not been good. It won’t stop raining on me,” Magnoni said. “It seems like every Saturday, it rains. Nobody wants to come in the rain. I don’t blame them. I wouldn’t want to sit out there either.” So when the weather kept dry last Friday, families across the area showed up in droves, and Ladson ended up leading a line of cars that stretched down Route 34
and snaked around side streets. Magnoni let 350 cars into the drive-in Friday, but still had to turn 150 away, he said. Cars continued to pack the grounds and children threw balls and bounced around all the way up to showtime. Ken Edwards of Spring Valley was passing down the tradition of attending the drive-in Friday night with his three daughters, Alyssa, Jordan and Kailay – who

Continued from page 10 all wore yellow “Minions” shirts. “I grew up in Paw Paw so I’ve been coming here a lot,” Edwards said. “It’s a unique experience. Not a lot of people have been to the drive-in.” He was referring to his friend who joined him and his daughters, Jamie Kammers of Minooka. “I honestly didn’t know there were any around,” she said.
Making the switch
Though clear nights and kiddie films are a potent business mix, Magnoni said 70 percent of every dollar goes back to the movie studios, so it does little to help him afford the digital projector. Film is not a completely dead technology, Magnoni
said. When “Furious 7” did gangbuster business at the box office in April, Universal Pictures contacted him to open earlier to show the film reel, which he did. The drive-in is open from April to October, weather permitting. The “Minions” and “Inside Out” double feature will run at least until next week, when “Minions” will most likely be paired with a film reel of “Jurassic World,” Magnoni said. Next month, he plans to show “Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation” with “Terminator Genisys” – both on 35mm. “Most of the big [studios] still make film,” Magnoni said. “It’s the little ones like Weinstein and Miramax that don’t. They make offbeat movies anyway.” Magnoni said he’s against digital projectors. “If something breaks with the film reel, I know how fix
it,” he said. “When something happens to the digital projector, you’re done for the night. With the digital machine, you have nothing to do. It starts, it runs, it’s done. There’s nothing to touch, nothing to focus.” Patrons on Friday night voiced concern about the possibility of losing the drive-in if fundraising isn’t met. “It’s something cool that would be taken away. We don’t have another one around us to go to,” said Tasha Artaga of Mendota. “It’s just something different for the kids, and I’d be sad. They’d be sad.” Edwards said the drive-in experience is more than what kind of film format is used. “I think people come to the drive-in more for the experience rather the whole digital [and] surround sound setting,” he said. “I think it’s more the experience of coming to the drive-in and hanging out during the summertime.”

Castle Bank set to become First National Bank Beginning Sept. 8, Castle Bank will officially call itself First National Bank, although customers can expect all the same services, Castle Bank Market President Timothy Struthers said. Castle Bank, which has a branch on Route 34 in Plano, became part of First National of Nebraska in 2002, and has operated as a division of First National Bank of Omaha since 2010, according to a news release. “This has been a natural evolution. Both National and Castle have grown together very nicely over the last 14 years,” Struthers said. “We’re pretty proud of the association and pretty proud of their name and it just seemed like the right time to kind of attach ourselves
formally with the company’s brand.” The official switch, including changes to bank signs, is expected to take place Labor Day weekend. The changes will not affect current customers’ banking, and will be more like a candy bar that has “a new wrapper with exactly the same ingredients,” Struthers said. “First National Bank is well regarded and active in supporting dozens of communities throughout the Midwest that are very much like the communities we serve,” he said in the news release. Castle Bank has 14 banking offices located in DeKalb, Kendall, Kane, Boone and McHenry counties in north central Illinois. Identifying as First National Bank is a decision that might ultimately make the business more

recognizable to customers who are new to DeKalb County, Struthers said. He expects the “depth, breadth and reputation” of First National Bank, which serves more than 100 locations across seven states, to benefit Kendall County. “I think that as folks are more mobile today and they move between markets, I think First National will surely be more recognizable in the greater Illinois market than what Castle Bank is,” he said. Debit cards, checks and any other banking tools branded with Castle Bank’s name can still be used under the new title, Struthers said. “We will truly try to go from Castle Bank to First National Bank. Beyond that, really there would be no other changes,” Struthers said. “They’re very similar in reality.”

Parkview upper grades get new campus Classes for 7-12 will be at Club 47 facility
If you go Who: Parkview Christian Academy What: Open house to highlight the new campus for grades 7-12 When: 2 to 4 p.m. Aug. 15 Where: New high school campus (in Club 47), 202 Countryside Parkway, Yorkville
By DAN WAITT dwaitt@shawmedia.com Back to school for students at Parkview Christian Academy takes on a whole new – and larger – dimension this fall for grades 7-12 at the school. They will be reporting for classes in what is essentially a brand new wing of Club 47 on Countryside Parkway in Yorkville. The high school students had been meeting at Helmar Lutheran Church, about four miles south of Yorkville, a space which the school simply outgrew. The new location northeast of Routes 34 and 47 puts the school in a more convenient and centrally located spot for families. “The major advantage is the location,” Superintendent Deborah Benson said. “It makes everything we do more efficient.” Benson said the school was actively looking for a larger space and members of the school’s board knew Club 47 building owner Ron Walker. The school leaders were able to arrange for some significant space changes in the building, she said.

New Parkview Christian Academy computer lab. The facility also includes a science lab, multipurpose classrooms and meeting rooms. The new school setting includes more office and classroom space for the students, in addition to a large common area the school calls the multi-purpose room that will be used for chapel, lunch and extended learning activities. The step is another in what has been a growth pattern for Parkview. The school’s grade
school will remain at Parkview School at 201 W. Center St. in Yorkville. A fresh coat of light gray paint and white trim will greet students at the Club 47 site. The space includes a science lab, computer lab, multipurpose classrooms and meeting rooms. Parkview is accredited by both Christian Schools International and the North Central Association, Benson said. Benson said the number one compliment she gets from parents is for the school’s “fantastic teachers.” “The board has made an effort to be known in the community as a Christ-centered community,” she said.
While not affiliated with a specific denomination, Parkview remains true to its mission as a Christ-centered school, Benson said. “We tell people upfront what we believe and what we are going to teach – without apology,” she said. But Benson said the school welcomes people of all faiths to the learning environment. Students are drawn primarily from the Yorkville area, but come from all parts of the Kendall County. The school offers needsbased tuition assistance totaling some $75,000 a year. The school prides itself on treating each student individually. “We focus on the fact
that we are all uniquely created,” Benson said. The students reflect that in respect they have for fellow students, she added. The high school offers sports programs for girls and boys in basketball, soccer and volleyball. Softball is a new addition for the spring. Sports programs begin in fifth grade and continue through 12th grade. The school’s athletic director is Don Davidson, who for many years was athletic director and a coach at Aurora Christian School. One of the bonuses of being next door to a health
club (the multipurpose room has an access door to the gymnasium) is that students will be able to use the Club 47 facilities at specific times for physical education classes. Athletic team events will continue to be played at Parkview Grade School for the younger grades and at Helmar Lutheran Church gymnasium for the upper grades, Benson said. Parkview School began 17 years ago with seven students meeting in New Life Church. Enrollment in grades Pre-K to 12 is now about 310 students, Benson said. So far the school has graduated three high school classes. There are programs in choir, visual arts and debate. The school hopes to plan a musical for 2015-16 to bring growth to the fine arts program. In January, several students went on a mission trip to Haiti during the school’s “Winterim” or winter term. Even as a new school year begins, the school is looking forward. “We’re going to have to continue with long-term plans for growth,” Benson said. “That rapid growth calls for a need for strategic planning.”

Oswego Township Highway Supervisor Gary Grosskopf made no public comments Tuesday evening concerning accusations he oversaw his office this past winter from a home he keeps in Florida with his wife. Grosskopf was in attendance for the monthly township board meeting held in the township government office in Oswego. About 20 people, including several media representatives, also attended. Shortly before the public comment portion of the meeting, the board passed a motion limiting comments to one minute for each speaker. Those who spoke were split, with some supporting Grosskopf while
others took him to task for the accusations. Kendall County Sheriff’s Detective Sgt. Joe Jaznosz said this week that detectives are still investigating. Grosskopf has not been charged with a crime. The sheriff’s office received a complaint from a citizen regarding Grosskopf, Jaznosz reported. The complaint alleged that Grosskopf had not been residing within Oswego Township prior to the last consolidated election in the spring. Grosskopf has been township highway supervisor for 26 years and his current term will end in 2017. The Township Road District is responsible for snowplowing and maintaining roads in the unincorporated areas of Oswego Township, including the
Boulder Hill subdivision. Ed Reuland of Boulder Hill was the first resident to speak at the meeting and said he supported Grosskopf. “I think that Mr. Grosskopf is doing a wonderful job with the snow plowing and everything,” Reuland said. “My neighborhood has come up pretty good this year and I don’t want to see anything happen to Mr. Grosskopf. I’m for him 100 percent.” An Oswego resident, Jan Alexander, said she wondered what Grosskopf would do if there was a natural disaster or a communications blackout and he could not get back to the township from Florida. “I think you better make a decision, either come back to Illinois or stay in Florida,” she said.

Oswego Cats proving their worth Win over Long Beach gives squad fifth-place finish in World Series in N.Y. else.”
By LAURA M. MEDINA sports@kendallcountynow.com After earning their first bid to the Stan Musial World Series in three years, the Oswego Cats again proved that they belonged among some of the best teams in the nation. While they fought hard to stay alive, the Cats couldn’t outlast the competition, as they suffered a 3-2 loss to the Braintree White Sox and finished fifth in the double-elimination tournament on Saturday afternoon at Farmingdale State (N.Y.) College. Oswego clinched the American Amateur Baseball Congress Regional Tournament with four wins in five games at Jackie’s Field of Dreams at the end of July, earning its first playoff trip since taking fourth overall at the Stan Musial World Series in 2012 in Port St. Lucie (Fla.). “Overall, I’m pretty happy. We [placed fifth] with a small roster of 16 guys because of availability,” Cats field manager Todd Miller said. “Our goal was to make it to Saturday.” In their 8-7 first-round loss to the Long Island Storm on Thursday night, the Cats rallied back in the fifth from a two-run deficit. Then, they were down by five in the first four innings of an eventual 9-5 win over the Long Beach Legends on Friday afternoon. Against Braintree on Saturday, Oswego trailed in the first inning, as the opposition scored its three runs off right-handed starter Kevin Loukota. “Getting through the regional was their first eye-opener,” Miller said. “Once we got up here, and they saw some of the teams, especially the Long Island team, which had guys that were at least 25 to 35 years old, things changed. It woke them up. “Ultimately, it didn’t go our way [in the whole tournament], but it could have. Going 1-2 doesn’t sound good and losing two games by one run is disheartening, but it shows that we didn’t give up.” Just as they had throughout the tournament, the Cats rallied to put themselves on the board, scoring two runs in the sixth, one coming on a hit by centerfielder Clay Schuler (2-for-2), but they couldn’t get much else going as the game continued. “They didn’t score the rest of the game, but we had a little bit of anxiousness,” Miller said. “Every inning, it seemed like we had runners on, and we couldn’t get the hit we needed.

Members of the Oswego Cats baseball team ride the bus to Farmingdale University in Farmingdale, N.Y., to compete in the three-day AABC Stan Musial World Series last Thursday. The team went 1-2 and finished fifth overall to close the 2015 season.
“Ultimately, it didn’t go our way, but it could have. Going 1-2 doesn’t sound good and losing two games by one run is disheartening, but it shows that we didn’t give up.” Todd Miller Cats field manager
Sandwich alum Brandon Thielk takes the mound for the Oswego Cats against the Long Beach Legends on Friday afternoon at the AABC Stan Musial World Series at Farmingdale University in Farmingdale, N.Y. good team with solid defense and didn’t make a lot of mistakes. “With this big stage, sometimes the pressure builds – and we’re playing against guys that are minor leaguers – but we just have to remember to win with what we have and the way we play. We gave ourselves a chance to be in the game.” Loukota gave up eight hits and recorded five strikeouts in his complete-game effort against Braintree. The defending World Series champion played later on Saturday but was eliminated from the tournament by eventual
victor Westchase Express, which needed to play the Long Island Storm twice on Sunday afternoon to win the title. Though the Cats were unable to reach 20 regular-season victories and faltered in their ultimate goal to win the Stan Musial World Series, they experienced growth in other areas, specifically with getting new players to buy into the team’s purposeful mission. “We wanted 20 wins, and we came up short, but we were right there overall,” Miller said. “It was good to see the first-year guys contribute in individual games or
Waubonsee fall baseball sign-ups ahead PLANO RECORD Waubonsee Community College will be hosting a fall baseball league for high school players who are not participating in any fall high school sports. This IHSA-approved league is the area’s longest running and most economical fall league. Over 2,100 players have participated throughout the past 30 years, with hundreds going on to compete at the collegiate level. The league is scheduled to
start Aug. 26, and end in September. Games will be played on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays beginning at 4 p.m. each day. All games will be played on Waubonsee Community College’s baseball diamond in Sugar Grove and all players signed up are guaranteed playing time. Each of the eight game days will provide players the opportunity to use Waubonsee’s outdoor hitting facility that features two
astro-turfed batting cages and multiple hitting stations. Individuals interested in playing should attend an organizational meeting at 4:30 p.m. Aug. 25 on the Sugar Grove campus. The meeting will take place in college’s Field House, room 251, located adjacent to Erickson Hall, Waubonsee’s gymnasium. A $60 fee is due at the time of the meeting. For more information, contact Waubonsee Athletic Manager Dave Randall at 630-466-2527.
sustain it over a few games. “The pitching was solid, and everybody contributed off the bench. Up and down the lineup, everyone picked their spots and contributed. Sometimes, it’s hard putting the lineup together, and not everyone’s going to be happy, but they had a good attitude this season.” As Miller thinks ahead to next year, his greatest hope is that Oswego continues to build on its recent successes. Should the Cats return the players that brought them to the postseason this summer, they might have another opportunity to do. “They know what this is now and what a taste of success is,” Miller said. “We just have to guard against complacency and the feeling that we’re going to make it every year just because we made it the year before. Hopefully, these guys see the bigger prize here, something to shoot for and play for every year. The most excited people were the guys that have been there before, and it was a little contagious for everyone
Tournament Notes: On Thursday, Long Island cracked the scoreboard first, crossing the plate twice in the fourth inning, but its lead wouldn’t last long, as Oswego rallied with four runs in the fifth. While the Storm cut into the deficit with a run in the sixth, the Cats earned it back in the seventh. But in the bottom of the frame, Long Island tacked on four runs to retake the lead at 7-5. Not out of it yet, Oswego knotted the score with two of its own in the eighth, but Long Island sent the winning run home in the second half of the inning. Despite having a leadoff runner in the ninth, the Cats couldn’t bring him in. Right-hander Cody Love gave up three runs in six innings with five strikeouts, giving way to right-handed reliever Kendall Interial, who surrendered four runs in the seventh. Right-hander Tom Ozlanski took the hard-luck loss by conceding the game-winner in the eighth. Oswego was boosted by the efforts of infielders Ryan O’Dell, who had two doubles, and Mike Rissley, who had two RBIs. Outfielder Bailey Watros also had two RBIs in his three at-bats. After losing in the first round, the Cats had a chance to make a splash in the consolation bracket against the Long Beach Legends on Friday afternoon. Righthander Brandon Thielk took the mound for the first time since pitching a complete-game win versus Lombard on June 24. The 28-year-old Sandwich native works out of state and missed all of July but found a way to be effective despite a rough first inning in which he conceded four runs. Thielk settled in as the game went on, allowing another run in the fourth. In all, he surrendered 12 hits but racked up a total of seven strikeouts in eight innings. Loukota pitched the ninth, as Thielk was dealing with a blood blister. In support of their pitcher, the Cats cut the deficit with two runs in the fifth and continued their momentum into the sixth with a seven-run rally. Offensively, Bobby Smith had three hits, while Rissley and Jose Camacho each had two RBIs. “At that point, they [Long Beach] were kinda done, and we were hoping to keep our foot on the gas; you could tell they were defeated,” Miller said. “It was good to bounce back from the loss and good to bounce back from being down.”

RUTH LORD TUCH Born: April 23, 1926 Died: July 26, 2015
Ruth Lord Tuch, known to all as Mimi, died Sunday, July 26, 2015, in the Skilled Nursing Center of Maplewood Senior Residence in Bethesda, MD. The cause of death was a massive stroke, according to her physician. Born April 23, 1926, the daughter of Dr. A. E. and Ruth (Sears) Lord, and educated through high school in Plano, Illinois, she attended Carleton College in Northfield, MN, earning a BA degree in 1947. While at Carleton
she was admitted to Phi Beta Kappa in her junior year and was valedictorian of her class. She then attended the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) of Johns Hopkins University in Washington, D.C. earning a MA degree in 1948. She became a foreign affairs analyst at the then super-secret Army Intelligence Agency. Mrs. Tuch met her future husband, Hans (Tom) Tuch at SAIS. They were married in 1949 in Wiesbaden, Germany, Mr. Tuch’s first posting as a Foreign Service Officer. Her budding career ended abruptly since the State Department at that time did not permit FSO spouses to work. The Foreign Service essentially got two for one, since wives were expected to participate informally in their spouses’ foreign service careers, particularly in representational responsibilities. Frequently when asked “Mrs. Tuch and what do you do?” she responded, “I count anchovies.” The couple served in Wiesbaden, Frankfurt, Munich, Moscow, Sofia, Berlin, Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia, and Bonn with intermittent assignments in Washington. After Mr. Tuch’s retirement from the Foreign Service in 1985, they settled in Bethesda, MD and engaged in an active cultural life. They subscribed to and supported the Arena Stage, Shakespeare Theatre, Studio Theatre and Roundhouse Theatre for many years. Their main engagement, however, was with music--opera, concerts and recitals. They subscribed to and supported the Washington Concert Opera, The National Symphony Orchestra, the Washington National Opera, the Summer Opera, the Washington Bach Consort, Vocal Arts DC and occasionally attended the MET in New York, the Philadelphia and Baltimore Opera companies. Their principal engagement since 1986 has been with the Wolf Trap Opera Company in Vienna, VA. Mr. and Mrs. Tuch were married for 65 years. Mrs. Tuch is survived by her husband, her son, David and his
wife Helena in Sao Paulo, Brazil; by a daughter, Andrea and her husband Patrick Lannan in Santa Fe, NM; and by two sisters, Emily Leyshon in Prescott, AZ and Sally Bodi in Long Island, NY.

She was born May 17, 1909, in Sugar Grove, IL, the daughter of the late Ruel H. and Hazel (Graham) Mighell. Elizabeth attended and graduated from Sugar Grove schools, class of 1927. She was a 1935 graduate of Copley School of Nursing. Elizabeth started her career at Copley Hospital, also doing geriatric and private nursing and finished at Sunnymere Retirement Home in Aurora.

FOR THE RECORD 5
Court training program begins RECORD NEWSPAPERS Kendall County State’s Attorney Eric Weis announced this week his office has implemented a new “court day” training program designed to keep law enforcement officers aware of new case law, legislative updates and procedures. The program began Aug. 3 at the county courthouse in Yorkville. Currently, Kendall County law enforcement officers are assigned one court date per month where they appear in court for any citations they have written or any trials they are involved in. Starting this week, assistant state’s attorneys will conduct condensed versions
of training seminars for officers on a monthly basis. This training will occur prior to the regular court call scheduled for 1 p.m. The training will last 15-20 minutes and the topics will vary from month to month. Officers can request topics to be covered during the next month’s training. “The ‘court day’ training program was suggested by one of my prosecutors during a staff meeting,” Weis said. “We worked out the logistics and I think that this training will only benefit law enforcement going forward. This new method of training will allow officers within the county the same training and information on a timely basis. Officers will be made aware of new or changing
laws or procedures in a much quicker time frame.” Weis continued, “This training will be at no cost to the law enforcement agency nor will it require any additional cost for the officer to attend the training as he/she is already here for his/her court appearance. “Finally, officers will be able to ask questions face-toface with a familiar assistant state’s attorney who they are comfortable with and trust. I think that it will be a winwin for law enforcement as well as the judicial system,” Weis said. The “court day” training is designed to supplemental the rigorous training that law enforcement officers receive through their individual departments.

Seward Township aids bus service SHAW MEDIA The Voluntary Action Center recently announced that Seward Township has provided $2,000 for use in the operation of Kendall Area Transit. The donation will be used as a local match, which is required by the Downstate Operating Assistance Program funding from the state of Illinois. Paul LaLonde, assistant director at VAC, said money provided by community partners is crucial in helping VAC access critical matching funds required by the transportation
grants. “Matching funds are the lifeline to KAT,” LaLonde said. “Without them, we couldn’t access the grants, which provide the most funding of the system.” Jean Homerding, township supervisor, said the township decided to support VAC’s mission after hearing about how the program helps Seward residents: “So many of our neighbors need help these days, especially in our rural township. We were surprised at how active KAT is in Seward Township, and we appreciate their outreach to us.”
In 2010 – KAT’s first year of operation – 4,755 rides were provided, averaging 24 trips per day. Within a year, service had more than doubled and continued to increase substantially as word spread about the new service. Today, VAC gives 110 dial-a-ride trips a day and provided over 27,000 trips in fiscal 2015. KAT is a community and public transportation program but is especially important for seniors and persons with disabilities. “What many people may not realize,” said LaLonde, “is that KAT is truly a
community project. KAT couldn’t operate successfully at its current level without the participation and support of community partners like Seward Township. We are thankful for their support, as well as the support from all our friends and partners.” As the KAT program continues fulfilling the transit needs of residents, VAC looks forward to meeting the challenges posed by rapidly expanding ridership. As KAT continues to grow and expand, the residents of Kendall County remain the chief benefactor of its services.

There is a very interesting psychology experiment where you trick people into either smiling or “The plans of the frowning without their knowing it (by telling them to diligent lead to profit hold a pencil either in their teeth, to make them as surely as haste smile, or with their pursed lips, to make them leads to poverty.” frown), and while they hold that facial position you tell them a joke. Those who are holding the smile —Proverbs 21:5 usually rate the joke as being funnier, presumably because they are already halfway laughing to start aving meaningful goals is an with. The moral of the experiment, if experiments important part of a happy, can be said to have a moral, is that our bodies fulfilled life.

Vegetables can still be productive for a couple more months depending on what crops you have been growing. Certainly long-season crops like tomatoes and peppers could continue to produce until frost, and crops like Swiss chard can tolerate quite a bit of cool or even cold weather. Root crops like turnips, carrots, beets, parsnips, potatoes and onions can be harvested anytime they are ready and into frosty weather. If you mulch the rows with straw to prevent freezing, root crops could be harvested even with snow cover. A trend in vegetables the past couple of seasons has been the idea of growing greens and harvesting them while they are very small and tender. So our calendar may not allow us to grow lettuces, greens and spinach to their mature sizes, yet we can certainly harvest them as whole smaller plants for fresh table use in salads and garnish for other dishes as well. You can experiment with season extenders to get a bit farther into fall and not have the weather put an end to your gardening experience. These can be as simple as protecting from the earliest of frosts by covering tender plants
At noon on Tuesday, Aug. 18, the executive chef from Presence Fox Knoll, an independent and assisted living retirement community, will show attendees how to
cook a tasty, non-spicy Thai chicken stir-fry with basil and cashews on soba rice noodles. To register for this free demo and lunch at the Oswego Senior Center, call 630-554-5604 by Aug. 14.
Richard Hentschel with an old bed sheet or light blanket. More involved will be a temporary structure created over the rows or setting the cold frame you used in the spring to harden off your plants over a portion of a row or rows. Most anything you used in the spring to protect your vegetables from the late frosts can be reused to protect from the early fall frosts. It seems a bit odd to add this last part in a column in August, but if you have valuable produce close to being mature enough to harvest, be prepared to harvest if you cannot protect the plants so the fruit is not damaged by the cold weather. What you do not want to allow is the weeds to go to seed in areas where you have already harvested all your vegetables. This will set you up for a weed problem next year. Since most gardeners do not have a “hot” composting system, those weed seed heads should be thrown out and not put in the compost bin. We have all had tomato plants show up in beds

where we used our own compost as organic matter, for example. If you have enough of an open area, consider sowing a cover crop to help condition the soil and keep the weed population down. You can turn them in late this fall or leave them as winter cover if you like. If you routinely turn in all your plant parts each year, don’t turn in diseased plants that will provide disease inoculum for next year. Gardeners who mow, mulch and bag their tree leaves also have the option of using those in the garden as well, turning them in alone or with other kinds or organic matter. 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 630-5535823.

How to dig and store summer bulbs End of growing season approaching – time to prepare plants for winter SHAW MEDIA Summer bulbs add beauty to the landscape when earlier spring bulbs have long faded and flowering shrubs have turned to foliage for the season. “However, summer bulbs must be dug up at the end of your growing season and properly stored inside for the winter in order to have a floral display the following year,” explained Richard Hentschel, University of Illinois Extension horticulture educator. By tradition, a bulb refers to any plant that maintains its entire life cycle in a storage root. A few of the well-known, common summer-blooming bulbs are lily, gladiolus caladiums, iris, canna, and dahlia. Summer bulbs are planted in the spring after the chance of frost and the garden soils have warmed. To dig summer bulbs
at the end of the season, Hentschel said to wait until the bulb foliage has naturally died down or dig immediately after a killing frost. Digging summer bulbs usually means loosening the soil with a garden fork or spade several inches away from where the bulb is believed to be and gently lifting the plant without damage to the bulb itself, Hentschel said. “At this point, the outer skin of the bulb is soft and tender so caution is needed,” he added. “Most often summer bulbs are stored with a small amount of soil still clinging to the roots. A gentle shake to remove any excess soil will be a good step.” Summer bulbs need to be cured before storage to toughen up the outer skin. Curing means allowing the freshly dug bulbs to dry down in a cool shady location before being stored.
Summer bulbs that are put into storage still wet or damaged during the digging process could easily develop storage rots and other kinds of decay, Hentschel said. The time from digging to actual storage of the bulb for the winter can take a few days to a few weeks and should be done during warm late-summer and early-fall weather. Hentschel recommended that if there are many different kinds of summer bulbs to store, labeling each clump should be done. “One neat trick for larger bulbs such as amaryllis or elephant ears is to use a magic marker and write directly on the bulb,” he said. Storage temperatures for summer bulbs can range from 40 to 60 degrees, with 50 degrees being a good goal. If kept too warm, bulbs will begin to grow in storage, and, if they are kept too cold, they suffer and can be slow to grow when planted again in the spring. While in storage, check on the bulbs at least once
during the winter months to be sure the bulbs are sound. “If any bulbs show decay, remove them before the decay spreads to healthy bulbs,” Hentschel said. Some storage roots may need to have the soil or storage media moistened but never saturated to maintain adequate moisture so the storage roots are not all dried by planting time. “With these easy steps, summer blooms will grace your garden year after year,” Hentschel said.

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.

Downy mildew spotted in pumpkin field SHAW MEDIA Downy mildew of cucurbits is a destructive disease of cucurbits, including pumpkins. According to a University of Illinois vegetable and fruit pathologist, infection in a pumpkin field has shown up in Illinois. Mohammad Babadoost explained that downy mildew of cucurbits was recently diagnosed by colleague Daniel Egel in a watermelon field in Lawrence County, Ill., on July 23. “I was hoping that the disease would not spread to other parts of the state. But yesterday [July 30], we observed severe infection by downy mildew pathogen in a processing pumpkin field in Mason County, Ill.,”
Babadoost said. “The pathogen will likely spread to other parts of the state.” Downy mildew of cucurbits is a very destructive disease. “The present strain of the pathogen will likely infect all cucurbit crops, including cucumber, gourd, muskmelon, pumpkin, squash and watermelon,” Babadoost said. Downy mildew affects leaves only. Symptoms of downy mildew vary with the host and the environmental conditions. Babadoost explained that the first symptom is usually the appearance of indistinct pale green areas on the upper leaf surface. The pale green areas soon become yellow in color and angular to irregular in
shape, bounded by the leaf veins. “As the disease progresses, the lesions may remain yellow or become brown and necrotic. During moist weather, the corresponding lower leaf surface is covered with a downy, pale gray to purple mildew. Often an upward leaf curling will occur,” he said. If you don’t have the disease in your field yet, Babadoost recommends including chlorothalonil (e.g., Bravo Weather Stik) in weekly sprays. If downy mildew is observed in the field, spray cucurbit crops with one the following fungicide combinations at weekly intervals: Revus 2.09SC or Previcur Flex 6SC or Tanus 50WG or Ranman 3.6SC or Gavel 75DF or Zampro 525F plus chlorothalonil.

BRIEF Emerald ash borer program on Aug. 26
The emerald ash borer is one pesky little bug that has caused extensive damage and death to thousands of ash trees in northeastern Illinois the last few years. Too often, the ash borer’s presence is a death knell for trees it infects. “So, You Have Ash Borer – Now What?” will be presented at the Yorkville Public Library at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 26, to answer questions on identifying ash borer and the steps
homeowners can take. Sponsored by the University of Illinois Extension and The Conservation Foundation, the program will help homeowners with control techniques, disposal of wood from dead tees, and alternatives to replacing the tree with more diverse native species. Reservations are suggested and can be made by going to the library’s website at yorkville.lib.il.us or call 630-553-4354 no later than Aug. 24.

Spicy shrimp nachos are a perfect summer dinner
FOOD BRIEF
Creative ideas for school lunches When it comes to packing a school lunch, you know the drill: Lay out two slices of bread. Spread one with peanut butter, the other with jelly. Press together, slice diagonally and place in sandwich bag. Repeat. And repeat. And repeat. For creative sandwich substitutes, think outside the bread box: Create a bento-box-style, snackable lunch combo: include cheese and crackers, fresh grapes from California, and a small handful of nuts. Make a sandwich rollup, using flatbread or flour tortillas as the base, or stuff pita pockets with filling, as a fun replacement for sliced bread. Tuck whole-grain tortilla chips and salsa, a side of black bean and corn salad,
Brandpoint
plus cheese and grapes for a Mexican spin on lunch. Tuck in a cluster of fresh grapes from California for an easy finger food that’s juicy and hydrating too. Looking for a gluten-free alternative? Try a cheese stick rolled with a slice of ham, with grapes on the side. Shapeshift familiar lunch items to add interest: offer cheese cubes, apple rings, carrot coins, and tortilla pinwheels.

hrimp are ideal for the dog days of summer. They require a nanosecond of cooking and are great served chilled. Here, they elevate spicy nachos to dinner-course level, providing simple and refreshing nourishment. You can purchase cooked, chilled shrimp for this recipe. But if you’re cooking your own, follow these tips for tender, flavorful shrimp: Sautéed or grilled: Toss raw, peeled shrimp in olive oil, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes and ground cumin. Sauté in a hot skillet or grill 3 minutes on each side. Poached: Combine water, lemon halves, bay leaves and Old Bay Seasoning in a pot. Bring to a boil. Add raw, unpeeled shrimp and simmer about 3 to 4 minutes, until shrimp are bright pink. Use a slotted spoon to transfer shrimp to a bowl. Cover with ice to stop cooking.
