County Annual Oktoberfest ahead gets 2 Three days of festivities set ComEd for downtown grants By LYLE R. ROLFE

news@kendallcountynow.com

Oktoberfest may have started in Germany, but you don’t have to travel any further than Plano to enjoy an authentic Oktoberfest celebration, complete with German food from Plano’s Wurst Kitchen Sausage Co., imported German beer and wine, and German musicians. For three days, the festivities will take place in downtown Plano, come rain or shine, because all events are held under a huge circus tent on Main Street. Events go from 4 to 11 p.m. Friday; from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday; and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. On Friday, admission is free between 4 and 5:30 p.m. After that there is an $8 admission fee for everyone 18 and older. The big tent opens at 11 a.m. Saturday with free admission until 1 p.m. After that there is a $10 admission fee for everyone 18 and older. And the festivities resume Sunday at 11 a.m. with free admission all day for everyone until the event ends at 6 p.m. “This is our 11th year for Plano’s Oktoberfest, which has become a traditional Oktoberfest just like in the old country,” said Ed Schleining, event sponsor and owner of the Wurst Kitchen Sausage Co., in Plano and Aurora. Everything is prepared in their own kitchens, he said. The menu includes schnitzel, roast pork, kassler rippchen, bratwurst, potato salad, sauerkraut, strudel and more, all prepared by their own chef who got his start in Germany, Schleining said. Food will be available from 4:30 to 10 p.m. Friday; from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday; and from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Sunday. And Schleining brings a beer wagon to the event each year. “We sell only imported German beer and wine – no light beer or American beer,” he said. But food and drink are only part of the fun over the three days. Entertainment begins at 5:30 p.m. Friday with the Hirsch Band, an authentic German group playing music for listening and dancing until 7 p.m., when the official opening ceremony will be held.

A Chicken Dance Contest will be held at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, with the winners taking home trophies for their talents. There will be an adults’ competition and one for kids, he said. And each night after the kids’ winners are announced, a surprise visitor from the North Pole arrives with a big bag filled with gifts he gives to the kids, Schleining said. Saturday night at 9 p.m., the big event takes place – some lucky lady will be crowned Miss Oktoberfest to reign over

the event. The competition is open to all ladies 18 and above. Schleining said they have had as few as six contestants and as many as 16, ranging in age from 16 to 82. “In fact, the 82-year-old was a winner one year. She was so surprised, she cried. She said she had never won anything before.” The winner receives a trophy and crown. Contestants are introduced, asked to tell the audience about themselves and then asked some trivia questions, which includes some on German traditions. The number of contestants is then narrowed down to four and the winner is chosen by applause from the audience, he said. Throughout the Oktoberfest event, Karl-Heinz & Otto, two German dancers, keep the audience entertained by their dancing and acting talents, urging everyone else to join them on the dance floor, Schleining said.

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 last week 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. It was established in 1965 and last updated in 1998. “Ecotypes found within the 92-acre preserve include a sedge-dominated wet savanna-northern flatwoods complex with seep springs, and wet-mesic to dry mesic upland forest,” the district’s applications states. Tucker-Millington Fen is located near the village of Millington on the western edge of the county. It was acquired by the forest preserve district in 2011 and was a previously dedicated an Illinois nature preserve under additional conservation easement covenants held by The Conservation Foundation.

Senior planner returns to county 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 was set to return to Kendall County as a senior planner starting Sept. 21, Jeff Wilkins, the county’s administrator, announced last 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 county functions. There’s nuance there with

county government that’s different than villages,” Wilkins said. “He knows some of the minefields and such.” Angela Zubko, Kendall County’s former senior planner, announced in April that she was taking a new position as a planner for the village of Bartlett. The department has been without a director since 2010 when former director Jerry Dudgeon left the position. Wilkins has been in the interim director since Dudgeon’s exit.

Polka favorite Johnny Wagner Band to perform • OKTOBERFEST

Continued from page 1 The Johnny Wagner Band will play listening and dancing favorites from 1 to 5 p.m., when the Plano High School Marching Band will perform. Johnny Wagner will take the stage again from 6 to 8 p.m., when the Chicken Dance Contest will take place. “This band is the real thing. In fact, I consider this as the best German polka band in the Midwest,” Schleining said.

“We’ve had him here for eight or nine years. The first time I called him, I was naive and didn’t know how booked he was. I was lucky that he had a cancellation for the weekend I asked for. Since then, I have been booking him a year in advance to be sure he is here. “The crowd loves him. His group plays an Alpine horn and they play Edelweiss on bells ranging from thimble size to bucket size,” he added. And it matters not whether you know how to polka because there’s al-

ways someone at the event ready to give you free lessons. And after one or two German beers, it’s amazing how your polka talents will improve, he said. On Sunday, dancers and listeners will be entertained by vocalist Don Reitsma, who also performs on the accordion and keyboard, from noon until 6 p.m. when Oktoberfest comes to a close. “Don is a strolling accordionist like the strolling violinists in Italy. He loves to walk through the tent and stop at tables to perform,” Schleining said.

Between the entertainment and other events, Fritzwilli, a DJ, provides continuous music so there is never a quiet moment under the big top. “I love Oktoberfest. It’s like Christmas for me. And people of all ages from the youngest kids to the senior citizens always have fun,” Schleining said. Each year, Oktoberfest attracts an estimated 3,000 to 5,000 people.

Route 34 widening work expected to begin in 2016 By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com

Tod Stewart of Yorkville, behind the wheel of his Chevy pickup named “Old School,” threw some dirt while pulling Mean Green for 340.94 feet to capture first place in the competition.

Engines roar, dirt flies at truck and tractor pull

he roar of engines could be heard Saturday evening on the south side of Yorkville as the Illini State Pullers held their

final truck and tractor pull competition of the season at the Kendall County Fairgrounds off Route 71, just west of Route 47.

ABOVE: Doug Fitzgerald, driving his 1984 Chevy, pulled Mean Green 304.56 feet, good for fifth-place. RIGHT: Derek Temple of Morris, pulling in the street diesel class, drags the mechanical mule past the 250-foot mark.

The thousands of motorists that travel on U.S. Route 34 daily between Yorkville and Oswego should see construction barricades and orange cones go up next year as work to improve the highway begins, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation. Crews are expected to start moving utility lines out of the highway right-of-way next spring, according to David Broviak, an IDOT engineer. Contractors will then rebuild a 3.4-mile section of the two-lane highway to four lanes with curbs and gutters. In addition, a 10-footwide multi-use path will be installed along the highway from Marketplace Drive in Yorkville to O’Brien Way in Oswego. Project plans also call for either the improvement of existing traffic signals or new traffic signals at the following intersections along the highway: McHugh Road, Countryside Parkway, Autumn Creek Boulevard and Bristol Ridge Road in Yorkville and O’Brien Way in Oswego, according to Craig Reed, an IDOT studies and plans project engineer. Broviak confirmed that IDOT officials expect to seek contractor bids for the project by the end of this year. However, he said he doesn’t yet know when the contract will be awarded. “If it is a later [contract] letting they will usually start in the spring,” he said. The project has a pre-bid estimated price tag of $31.5 million. Construction is expected to take a little more than two years to complete, according to Broviak. “Typically contractors bid it and they try to get things

Hearing looks at future Route 34 work PLANO RECORD Just when the barricades came down on Route 47 in Yorkville, it’s time for a hearing on potential work on Route 34 on the city’s west side. The Illinois Department of Transportation will conduct a public hearing Sept. 29 for a plan for reconstructing U.S. Route 34 from Eldamain Road to Center Parkway in Yorkville. The hearing will be from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Yorkville Public Library meeting room at 902 Game Farm Road. While there will be no formal presentation, there will be an opportunity to view exhibits on display

and provide comments on the proposed improvements. Plans call for the road to be reconstructed to provide two lanes in each direction, with a two-way left turn median, curbs and gutters, storm sewers, sidewalks and a shared-use path. The Blackberry Creek bridge and the Rob Roy Creek culvert would be replaced. Retaining walls would be constructed near Game Farm Road and noise barrier walls would be added near Game Farm Road and Diehl Farm Road. The work would require addition-

al right of way and easements in the area. IDOT officials will be on hand to answer questions about the proposed project and its potential impacts, explain land acquisition procedures and receive public comments about the project. The exhibits also will be on display for two weeks following the hearing at Yorkville City Hall. The Phase I preliminary engineering study is expected to be completed this fall. Construction is listed among IDOT’s proposed highway improvements for fiscal years 2016-21.

He added that utility work should finish up early next year with construction to start shortly thereafter. IDOT officials have deemed the project necessary to keep up with the increasing number of motorists who use the highway. According to the agency’s average daily traffic counts, 13,400 vehicles travel the highway between McHugh Road and Bristol Ridge Road daily; 16,000 vehicles travel the highway between Bristol Ridge Road and East Rickard Drive, and 17,000 vehicles travel the highway just west of Orchard Road. IDOT officials predict the numbers will jump to about 30,000 vehicles per day over the next 12 years. “The ADT [average daily traffic] is not the overall indicator as is your peak hour volumes, because if your traffic is spread out throughout the day your roadway can take it a little better,” Broviak said. “Vehicle miles traveled have gone up recently some roads have been flat others have been slightly increasing and over the last several years they were very

flat but now we are starting to see them climb again.” Regarding the state budget impasse, Broviak said he hasn’t seen any impact yet on IDOT projects. For the Route 34 project, 80 percent of the funds will come from the federal government and the state will cover the other 20 percent of the cost. “At the district office we identify them [projects], design them and put them out to bid and send them down to Springfield, and they handle all the funding,” Broviak said. The pending Route 34 project will be the fifth significant highway improvement project undertaken by IDOT in Kendall County in recent years. Currently, contractors for the agency are finishing up with the widening of Route 47 in Yorkville and proceeding with the widening of Ill. Route 71 between Route 34 and Orchard/Minkler Road in Oswego. That project is expected to be completed by the end of next year. Earlier this year, contractors completed widening Route 30 between Route 34 and Ill. Route 31 in Montgomery and Oswego, and widening Route 34 through Plano.

State’s attorney seminar will cover Open Meetings Act Representatives of the Kendall County State’s Attorney’s Office and the Illinois Attorney General’s Office will present a free seminar on the Illinois Open Meetings Act at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 30, in the jury selection room at the Kendall County Courthouse, 807 John St. in Yorkville. According to the state’s attorney’s office, the seminar should be of interest to all members of public bodies and taxing districts in Kendall County. This training is

designed to take a proactive approach to ensure compliance with the Illinois Open Meetings Act. Officials will learn the proper compliance procedures and how to avoid inadvertent violations of the Open Meetings Act. The seminar will include an informational presentation on the Open Meetings Act followed by a question and answer session. Public officials who wish to attend are asked to RSVP to Janet Stroup at 630-553-4157. Space is limited.

OUR VIEW

Politics a factor in press conference cancellation? Earlier this month we received an email notice from the Kendall County Health Department that the agency planned to host a press conference Sept. 14 “to discuss how [the] state and federal budget impasse harms the vital public health services that are provided for all county residents.” The notice continued, “The failure of the state in establishing a budget has a local impact on our community services. 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.” The notice also mentioned the health department provides a wide variety of services, including food inspections in local restaurants, addiction treatment, suicide and communicable disease surveillance, and energy conservation education. We planned to send a reporter to the press conference so we could report back to you, our readers, how the current budget shenanigans in Springfield and Washington, D.C., are directly

affecting the health department and its operations. Unfortunately, the press conference was abruptly canceled just hours before it was scheduled to begin. In announcing the cancellation, Dr. Amaal Tokars, the health department’s executive director, said in a prepared statement that “... due to concerns expressed regarding this public press conference, the press conference has been canceled.” When contacted, Tokars declined to comment further on who was expressing concerns or the reason or reasons for the cancellation. Jeff Wehrli, a Kendall County Board member who

acts as the board’s liaison to the health department, said he did not know why the press conference was called off. We are concerned that political considerations may have factored into the decision to cancel the press conference. If county health department officials were to publicly detail how the state budget impasse is adversely affecting their ability to provide vital services to county residents, it might cast state lawmakers from both parties in a negative light. That in turn, could create hard feelings between the health department and lawmakers, the

same folks who are responsible for allocating state funds to the agency. Under such circumstances, we could understand why health department officials would be reticent about speaking up. Even if politics were not a factor in the decision to cancel the press conference, we hope that our county officials and local state lawmakers would put the public good over any partisan political interests and encourage health department officials to hold their press conference so they can speak freely about how the state’s budget impasse is affecting the agency and county residents.

Time for putting by last of the summer produce In back of our house most years a woodchuck spends his (or possibly her – it’s hard to tell with woodchucks) days frantically gathering food. We see him hurrying away from his burrow and then rushing back again with a mouth full of greenery to be put by for the long winter months to follow. Not too long ago, the area’s human residents behaved in much the same fashion – this time of the year was a season for putting things by in preparation for the coming of winter. Back in the day, garden produce had been harvested right through the summer, of course. Crops of radishes, lettuce and onions had either been eaten as they ripened or, in the case of onions, allowed to dry before being stored in mesh bags hung from the ceiling of the basement fruit cellar. Canning was invented by another one of those inventive French fellows, Nicholas Appert, in 1804. But it took quite a while for the technology to filter down to be available for home use. In the very early days of settlement, such garden crops as beans and peas were not canned, but were dried and stored in roughly woven bags to be used as ingredients for the soups and stews that were so much a part of the diets then. I still have a large pewter charger that has been in the family for a couple of centuries. A cross between a large-diameter shallow bowl and a platter, the char-

REFLECTIONS Roger Matile ger was filled (“charged”) with soup or stew and placed in the center of the table where everyone could help themselves to the food. The pewter plates that originally went with the charger were melted down into musket balls, according to my grandmother. I don’t know if that’s a true tale or not, but it certainly made for a wonderful story when I was growing up. Beginning in the late 19th century, though, thanks to the advance of manufacturing technology, home canning using glass jars became economical. So a variety of garden vegetables were canned to preserve them until needed. Other vegetables, however, were not canned but were, instead, pickled. Pickled food was very popular with my German family. Sauerkraut, in particular, was a favored way to preserve cabbage, while cucumbers were preserved by turning them into sweet and dill pickles and pickle relish. Beets were likewise pickled for use as a side dish during winter meals. Pickled food can be healthy, too. In the era before citrus fruit was easily available, it was discovered that sauerkraut would prevent scurvy. Condiments were canned, potted, bottled or otherwise preserved as well. Horseradish, which most of my family craves,

be preserved for nearly the entire winter that way. The search was always on for an apple variety that was “a good keeper.” By the time the first days of early winter arrived in Kendall County, farm families had fruit cellars full of food, with glass jars and bottles filling the shelves that lined the walls of the darkest room in the basement. Fall’s provender joined the last of the canned meat that had been put by the previous year. With the start of cold weather, the butchering cycle would soon begin to add more meat to the supply. Starting in the early 1950s, many farm and town families began freezing fruits and vegetables Photo provided instead of canning them.

Talk on Collins Road extension plans moved up officials hope budget County to receive federal funds impact for engineering phases canceled By MATT SCHURY

mschury@kendallcountynow.com

Health dept. pulls plug on 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 community 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, addiction 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.

Engineering work for a western extension of Collins Road in the village of Oswego has been moved up a year as the Kendall County Board hopes to receive federal highway funds through the Kane/ Kendall Council of Mayors to complete the project. The Collins Road extension is included in an updated five-year county highway plan adopted by the board during a meeting Sept. 15. Once completed, Collins Road would intersect with Minkler Road in the village. Collins cur-

rently ends at Grove Road. If Oswego ever received a Metra station at Orchard and Mill, the Collins extension would allow commuters to more easily reach Orchard Road south of Oswego. Fran Klaas, the county’s highway engineer, reported that the county has applied for phase two engineering money through the KKCOM. The KKCOM’s Surface Transportation Program provides funding to municipalities for projects on the Federal-Aid Highway System. Northeastern Illinois is divided into 11 Council of Mayors districts, which are allocated STP funding for local transportation projects. The Kane/Kendall Council of Mayors receives approximately $8 million a year in STP funds, according to information on KKCOM’s website. Approximately every three

years, the group has a call for all eligible projects. The projects are ranked according to the KKCOM methodology. The rankings are utilized by the Transportation Policy Committee to prepare a programming recommendation. The five-year plan has the county spending $1 million next year for phase one engineering. Klaas said they moved the timetable up for phase one engineering on the Collins Road project because there is the possibility that the county could get the extra funding from the KKCOM to complete phase two engineering on the road project. “We are hopeful [and] optimistic that maybe we’ll get some money from them for phase two engineering,” he said. “We could get started on [phase one] on that as early as next year.” Other projects in the later years

of the plan were reduced by $1 million so that there was no change in the total dollar value of the plan, according to minutes from the Highway Committee’s Sept. 8 meeting. The plan shows $700,000 estimated in 2018 for phase two engineering and another $700,000 in 2019. Land acquisition is scheduled for 2020 at an estimated of $500,000. According to the KKCOM’s July/August newsletter, staff rankings to the group’s Transportation Policy Committee for review and consideration are scheduled on Oct. 15. A final recommendation is then forwarded to the council for final approval. The program is submitted to CMAP to be developed into the regional Transportation Improvement Program, the northeastern Illinois five-year agenda of transportation projects.

Police: Man fired at officers By JOHN ETHEREDGE jetheredge@shawmedia.com An Oswego man arrested in connection with a shooting incident in the village’s Cedar Glen subdivision fired a rifle at two village police officers, according to information released by police Sept. 18. Police took Taylor J. Cano, 24, of the 100 block of Ashlawn Avenue in Oswego into custody Thursday after he was released from an area hospital, where he was being treated after being shot by police during the incident. Cano has been charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated discharge of a firearm, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and unlawful possession of a weapon by a felony in connection with the Aug. 29 incident. Judge John McAdams set bond for Cano at $1 million during a hearing at the Kendall County Courthouse in Yorkville. Cano’s next court appearance is scheduled for 9 a.m. Monday, Sept. 28.

Police said Cano had been staying at the Ashlawn Avenue residence a block east of Ill. Route 25 off and on since the middle of August. Police said Cano allegedly obtained the rifle at the residence. According to police, Cano called 911 in the early morning hours of Aug. 29 and told dispatchers that a massacre was going to occur and he was going to shoot himself in the street. Police said Cano Taylor J. believed a motorcycle Cano gang had his house surrounded and felt he was going to die that night. To attract attention to his murder, Cano planned to go to a party down the street from his residence and shoot the people at the party. Police said they encountered Cano as he was walking toward the party. At that point, police said, Cano turned, pointed his rifle at the officers and fired one round. The officers returned fire, striking Cano in the torso.

During their investigation, police said they learned that Cano might have shot people at the party if he had not been intercepted by the officers. Police added in a statement, “At this point in time there is no indication that Cano knew or had any type of altercation with the individuals at the party prior to the incident.” Assisting Oswego police in the initial response to the incident were police from the Kendall and Kane County sheriff’s offices and the Montgomery and Aurora police departments. The Illinois State Police has been investigating the incident. Police said they also had a prior encounter with Cano on Aug. 12, also in Cedar Glen. Police said they found Cano standing in the area of Route 25 and Glendale Avenue, yelling for police to kill him while holding what appeared to be an eight- to ten-inch wooden spear. Police said they subdued Cano and transported him to an area hospital for evaluation.

ELBURN – The greenhouse was long, its growing pans divided by a narrow passage. Its air was suffused with the rich smell of damp dirt mixed with thousands of tiny leaves. “So we have kale here. We have broccoli, cauliflower,” Carlos Palomares said, gently touching the greenery. At a year old this month, the greenhouse of Mighty Greens Farm on Hughes Road near Elburn is anything but ordinary. It grows microgreens and petite greens all year that owner Palomares, 30, of Batavia, supplies to local restaurants, the tiny leaves destined for salads and garnishes. He sells the rest at the Geneva Green Market on Thursdays and the St. Charles Farmer’s Market on Fridays. “We sell out of our greens at the St. Charles Farmer’s Market every week,” Palomares said. “They love the petite mix; they love the micro mix. … I bring as much as I can, and we sell out almost every time. People buy the microgreens for their salads, but mostly just to eat them by themselves. And they don’t even have a preference. If there’s greens on the table, they will take those greens.” A microgreen is when the plant sends up its first two leaves, called cotyledons. A petite green is when the second set of leaves form. A petite green is a little bigger – such as tiny lettuces that are harvested by cutting them off at the soil line with scissors. Palomares said the growing tray is dumped to compost for the farm’s outside garden, and a new soil mix is used for the next set of microgreens or petite greens to begin. He buys certified organic soil from a company in Wisconsin, mixes it with vermiculite and waters everything from a hose onsite. “That’s it,” Palomares said. Microgreens and petite

greens are different from sprouts – which are germinated seeds – that most people are more familiar with, Palomares said. Restaurant chefs seek the micro basil, red streaked mizuna, shungiku, dill, celery, fennel, chervil, lemon basil, Persian cress, red-veined sorrel, bok choy, hon tsai tai, kohlrabi, beets, cilantro and arugula for garnishes, various dishes, salads and appetizers, he said. Roberto Abila, owner of Altiro Latin Fusion in Geneva, said he buys petite arugula, cilantro, romaine and radishes from Mighty Greens. “It’s very important to buy from local people; it’s important that it be fresh, organic produce,” Abila said. “I’ve been to his farm twice. He’s got really, really good stuff.” Palomares uses a small roller to create furrows in which to plant the seeds and marks what it is with a plastic fork. But the real magic, he said, happens in his homemade germination chamber, where warmth and humidity speed up the germination process from a week or more down to one to three days. “So this germination chamber speeds everything up by 65 percent,” Palomares said. “We made this ourselves. We have a heating element in there in water that produces steam, which brings this to 75 degrees, all-year-round temperature. No matter what it is outside, it’s 75 degrees [in here] and humid.” His process causes nearly 100 percent germination of seeds, Palomares said. ••• Palomares came by his farming knowledge from working at Heritage Prairie Farm under the tutelage of the late Ted Richter and other farm managers there, not bad for a city kid raised in Las Vegas. He was born in Mexico and came to the United States with his parents when he was 6. “Growing up in Las Vegas, my parents had to work to support us,” Palomares said.

Palomares met wife while working at an area farm Continued from page 8 The second of seven children, he said he used to run around, joined a gang at age 11 and dropped out of school in eighth grade, eventually moving back to Mexico for four years. He worked as a commercial fisherman during that time, Palomares said, moving back to Las Vegas when he was 18 years old. “We got into a situation where we were at a party and my friend ... got shot at and was killed,” Palomares said. “My other friend got shot, and he survived.” He said to himself, “What am I doing here?” At age 22, he decided to move away from Las Vegas. “I had to find an opportunity to do something better with my life,” Palomares said. “And when I found Illinois, I knew that my godfather lived here. And it was the farthest place from Las Vegas that I wanted to be.” Palomares arrived in Illinois on Mother’s Day 2008 to live with his godfather, Victor Ahumada, in Elgin. His godfather knew the owners of Heritage Prairie near Elburn, who had asked if he knew someone who could work at the farm, Palomares said. Three days later, Palomares got his chance at making a better life for himself. “When I got there, my friend Ted Richter picked me up – he was the first person I met in Illinois. And he told me to weed around trees. … And I was thinking to myself, ‘What am I doing here?’ Around 10 o’clock, I’m going to get up, walk away, make my way back to the airport and go back to Las Vegas.” Then Richter and another farm manager came to Palomares at 10 a.m. and said, “Come on, we’re going to go weed the fields.” “I saw all these vegetables planted there, and I had this ‘ahhhh’ moment.

I said, ‘OK, I’ll give this a shot,’ ” Palomares said. “Being on my knees, weeding, was a therapeutic thing. It separated me from Las Vegas right away and the life that I had lived. I started seeing something new.” The next year, he became a full-time employee living at the farm. “By the time I was ready to leave Heritage Prairie, I had this idea for a microgreen business,” Palomares said. “That is something I wanted to do on my own. … To grow microgreens all year round, that means there is a steady income all year round.” Palomares got a job managing a microgreens operation in Kansas City, Missouri, where he learned even more. Another benefit to working at Heritage Prairie was meeting the woman who would become his wife, Katie. They will be married two years in November, and they have a 3-year-old son, Henry, and 3-monthold son, George. Katie Palomares, 29, said she is going back to school part-time to become a dietician. “It took him a little time to get the confidence to go out and do this on his own,” Katie said of her husband. “He had it in him all along. I know he did.” Katie Palomares said she was born and raised in Batavia, graduated from Batavia High School with the class of 2004, went to the University of Illinois and spent one year studying in Scotland. “We come from very different places, so I can’t pretend to know everything he’s gone through,” Katie Palomares said. “I grew up in Batavia and was very privileged and always had everything I could want. He did not grow up with that life or childhood. And to come so far and to be so passionate about what he doing is a very neat thing to see. I am very proud of him.”

Senior services agency facing severe cuts Fox Valley Older Adult Services to close 2 branches By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN bkeeperman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Sharon Schopfer received invaluable help from Fox Valley Older Adult Services from 2013 to 2014 as she cared for her husband, who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease. With the agency preparing to close its doors in DeKalb and Aurora, the Sycamore resident is concerned that others in her situation will not have that support. “The care that [clients] are given is just amazing,” she said. “They are remarkable to work with and to see it close is heartbreaking. ... The alternative would be to hire someone for inhome care, which is very costly.” FVOAS is a nonprofit agency that provides adult day care and in-home services, community programs, breakfast and lunch services, and caregiver support groups from locations in DeKalb, Aurora and Sandwich. Agency officials said that unless legislators and Gov. Bruce Rauner can agree on a budget plan by Oct. 16, they plan to close their DeKalb and Aurora Adult Day Service facilities. If funding doesn’t come through from the state soon, agency officials said its main

headquarters in Sandwich may shutter as well, but for now, will stay open because it is partially funded through other sources like private donors. Schopfer said day-to-day care of a loved one with health problems can be overwhelming. “It really wears you down,” she said. “Your own heath is in jeopardy and breaks down because you are worrying and trying to take care of someone you love. It takes a toll.” Schopfer’s husband now lives in a nursing home, but she still visits FVOAS to attend a caregiver support group twice-a-month, where she said she has found friendship and ongoing support and insight from the eight to 14 other caregivers who attend. “The support group we have is phenomenal,” she said. “Everyone in the room has a loved on in a different stage. We learn from each other, support each other and help each other cope with the situation.” Cynthia Worsley, executive director of the agency, said that the lack of state funding because of the budget impasse has made it impossible for the center to continue. As much as 90 percent of the adult day service program is state-funded. On average, the agency has 18 adults who use the day care service and another 85 to 100 who participate in programming and activities. In-home services will still be available, as the state is still funding those programs, which typically cover people who need the

Fox Valley Older Adult Services will close its DeKalb and Aurora day service facilities in October because of lack of state funding. care rather than the agency that provides it, Worsley said. “In the past, we’ve had fundraisers, and some clients who pay privately. We supplement that with the DeKalb County tax levy and the state would pay their part and we would be OK,” Worsley said. “But the problem is, the state can’t give us a date of when they can start paying, and we can’t support it all.” In news releases, the agency has cited continued income loss and loss of financial support from its banking partner as other reasons to close the sites. On 2013 tax reports, the agency listed revenues of about $1.4 million with expenses of $1.3 million. In 2012, revenues were at about $1 million with expenses of $1.1

million. If the facilities close their doors, they would be permanently changed and might not reopen any time soon, Worsley said. “It’s really not possible to do it soon,” she said. “Certainly not in the foreseeable future. We may have some people interested, but we need to get through this emergency first. … Even if it reopened, it wouldn’t be the same kind of day care as it is now.” For now, the Sandwich location will remain open and FVOAS is working with the Voluntary Action Center to provide rides to the Sandwich facility for those in the soon-to-close DeKalb location. Worsley and other supporters encouraged calls to state representatives, in hopes of ending the

budget impasse and getting state funding back. State Rep. Bob Pritchard, R-Hinckley, whose 70th District includes much of DeKalb County, called the impasse a terrible situation but added there weren’t any discussions going on in Springfield. “The budget undoubtedly needs some cuts and additional revenue,” said Pritchard, a Hinckley Republican. “... But this is what I’d call a labor-management gridlock. You need a third-party to break that, and I don’t know who that could be besides the voters of Illinois. I’d encourage citizens to start paying attention, because this is impacting the lives of people in the community.” Carol Hajic of DeKalb said she is devastated by the thought of the agency closing. Her husband had stayed at the DeKalb center for two years before moving into a nursing home. She now attends the support group for caregivers. “It’s heartbreaking,” she said. “That day center is so well-managed. It’s an asset to this community. They work very hard to accommodate people.” Hajic said that if FVOAS hadn’t been around when her husband needed care, she didn’t know how she would have been able to cope. “I would have had to put him in a nursing home a lot sooner,” she said. “Or pay the fee for inhome service because we had no long-term care insurance and that makes a big difference.”

Preschool program tuition going up $100 PLANO RECORD The Kendall County Forest Preserve District Board voted last week to increase the yearly tuition for both the agency’s twoday and three-day Natural Beginnings preschool program by $100. As approved by the board, the current yearly tuition for the twoday program will increase from $1,325 to $1,425, while the cost for the three-day program will increase from $1,625 to $1,725. In addition, the board ap-

proved increasing a nonrefundable registration fee for the program from $50 to $150. According to the forest preserve district’s website, Natural Beginnings is designed to connect children ages 3-5 to the natural world around them. The program meets from September to May. The classes for 3and 4-year-olds will meet from 9 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. For 4- and 5-year-olds, classes will be held from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Mondays, Wednesdays

and Fridays. During class time, students explore various themes related to ecology, seasonal changes and natural history. These exploration units lead students outdoors to the prairies, woods and streams of Hoover Forest Preserve in Yorkville. Class time is supplemented with literacy building activities, introduction to phonics, meaningful projects, and authentic learning opportunities. Maximum class size is 12 chil-

dren with a 1-to-6 teacher-child ratio. 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 “students enjoy daily hikes, indoor literacy-building activities, a nutritious snack, and an engaging variety of skill-building activities.” The program has been so popular that a wait list had to be creat-

ed. 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. For more information about the program or registration, call 630-553-3939.

Editor’s note: An article in last week’s Record contained incorrect information concerning the tuition and fee increases. We regret the error.

Kendall County Jail passes audit on anti-rape standards PLANO RECORD The Kendall County Jail in Yorkville recently passed a Prison Rape Elimination Act audit that was conducted on July 29-30. The PREA audit shows the federal government that the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office, which operates the jail, has taken action to conform to federal standards that were put in place to eliminate sex abuse in a confinement setting. This is a new requirement for detention facilities. The Kendall County jail had 41 findings of meeting expectations, one finding of exceeding expectations, and one finding that was not applicable because the office does not house inmates in other correctional facilities. The auditor’s report not-

ed, “The Kendall County Sheriff’s Department has demonstrated a high commitment to inmate and staff safety.” Some of the requirements of PREA are: • Adherence to a zero-tolerance standard for the incidence of inmate sexual assault and rape; • Development of standards for detection, prevention, reduction and punishment of prison rape; • Collection and dissemination of information on the incidence of prison rape. Preparation for the audit was lead by Corrections Sgt. Jeanne Russo, who is the office’s PREA coordinator. It took Russo and other corrections deputies over a year to prepare for the audit. The audit consisted of a review of policy and

procedure, a tour of jail, interviews of staff, deputies, inmates, and command personnel, and review of reports and records. Russo is a 15-year veteran of the sheriff’s office who earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration. Sheriff Dwight Baird said, “Sergeant Russo’s leadership and hard work kept the office on track and committed to the goal.” The jail was built 1992 and expanded in 2005. Home to 50 correction’s staff members and encompassing 70,000 square feet, it has a maximum capacity of 203 inmates. The jail not only houses inmates from Kendall County, it receives compensation for housing inmates from Kane, DeKalb and DuPage counties as well as federal inmates.

“Making sense of investing”

Good. A word that we use all too often to describe a situation we are in that we can positively live with the results. For our team though, we discuss that good as an adjective is poison. We talk about how attention to detail, and concerning ourselves with only things we can control will allow us to achieve results equivalent to our efforts. As a team back in May we got together to discuss this. We asked, why give good effort if you can give great effort? Why give great effort when you give an excellent effort? And why settle for excellent effort when you can give G.O.A.T. effort? G.O.A.T. stands for Greatest Of All Time, and was originally used as an acronym to describe Jerry Rice as a receiver, and Michael Jordan as a basketball player. For us, it is the level of expectation we have for ourselves on a daily basis. Did we give effort today that will have been the greatest effort of all time? We are humans, so sometimes the answer is no. But the pursuit of that level is what is important. This past week, after falling to Manteno at home, our team made the choice to respond to our adversity united to compete in a G.O.A.T. fashion. The effort and hard work by our kids led us to accomplish something that for the situation would be the G.O.A.T.. Not only did our Reapers have a great week of practice, but they also had great attitudes in a very adverse week. First, much of our Reaper family mourned the loss of a great friend and schoolmate, Luis Rodriguez. The response of our student body to show their respect for Luis by lining Abe Street Wednesday morning as the funeral procession went by was a statement about the type of kids you find at PHS. Next came Thursday’s practice that was delayed in the middle of it by lightning. We spent 30 minutes in the gym before we came back out and finished practice outside. Finally, there was Friday, when our game was moved up to 5 p.m. Kids rushed to get things ready to get on the bus and head to Coal City. Once at Coal City, we had to rush to get ready and get out on the field, only to line up for kickoff and have the game delayed, and later rescheduled due to lightning. Getting back to Plano around 7 p.m., we asked our players to be home by 10 p.m. in order to be ready to compete the next day at noon. Again, they could have stayed out late, or chose to complain and have a bad attitude about the way the night worked out, but fortunately, they responded like the G.O.A.T.. Our kids came out Saturday at noon ready to play, and accomplished not only our second straight win vs. Coal City, at Coal City, after going 30 years without a win, but we became the first team to “run the clock” on the Coalers in recent history. It was a positive experience for our kids, and it was the way that a team wanting to be the G.O.A.T. would respond. This week we return to Reaper Stadium on Friday night to face the Streator Bulldogs. We have a special night planned, as we will be honoring the 2005 Plano Reapers semifinal football team on their 10th anniversary of their magical season. Jim Green, who led the 2005 Reapers to the semifinals, and the 2006 and 2007 teams to the state championship, will be the honorary captain. Please come out and support our boys as we continue the treacherous I-8 schedule.

NEWS 13

From the December 13, 1933, Plano News paper – with additional information added in italics for the benefit of the readers. The words in regular type are taken directly from the paper. The words in italics are commentary added by Kristy Lawrie Gravlin.

VIEWS Kristy Lawrie Gravlin Further research has shown that Joseph and his parents, Joseph Sr., and Marie had lived in Stickney, Cook County, Illinois in 1930.)

“Last Wednesday night about midnight, the people of Plano, and the surrounding area, were brought face to face with a deplorable and cruel tragedy. William Fonda, sixty-five years of age, a resident of Plano and proprietor of an oil station, became intoxicated by the consumption of alcohol, which turned him into an insane fiend looking for trouble.”

“Before Mr. Fonda had left his place of business he had armed himself with a revolver and, once arriving at The Tavern, he immediately began to ask people to drink beer with him. Those who knew him best accepted his invitation. He approached Mr. Kohout, who refused to drink with him. Mr. Fonda became enraged, so Mr. Kohout went away to avoid trouble—but then came back later. In the meantime, Mr. Fonda became more boisterous. When Mr. Kohout returned, Fonda again demanded that he drink with him, and he was again refused. It was then that Fonda pulled his gun and, apparently without hesitating, shot the young man through his abdomen. Everyone present became panic stricken and naturally moved to the door. It was some little time before people realized that Mr. Kohout had been seriously wounded. The proprietor, Dewey Parrish, immediately took care of the victim and sent for Dr. A. E. Lord. After examination, Kohout was at once removed to the Sandwich Hospital, where he lived until Friday morning before passing away.”

(This distressing event occurred on Wednesday, Dec. 6, 1933. William Fonda was born on Aug. 18, 1870, in Iowa, according to the 1930 census taker in Plano when she interviewed him. His father was born in New York and his mother in Iowa. Both William and his wife, Margaret, were 60 years of age. Their home in Plano was said to be worth $2,500, (equivalent of $139,000 now) so he had worked hard and done well. He married his wife, Margaret Lawler, in 1906 in Chicago when they were 36 years old. Margaret would die in 1934 and William in 1938. Both were buried in Plano at the Little Rock Township Cemetery.) “After closing for the night, Mr. Fonda went across the street from his oil station to what is known as “The Tavern”, a place owned and operated by Dewey Parrish.”

(Dr. Arthur E. Lord was by then one of the main doctors in Plano. He was the son of Dr. Frank H. Lord that you’ve read of many times. Together they ran their “business” – taking turns when one was not well, or when the other was sent off to war. The residents seemed comfortable with either one of the Dr. Lords coming to assist. And one or the other was usually the one called when a coroner was needed. Their home was the large yellow house at the northeast corner of East Main and Will Streets. You can see it there still if you drive by, although it has been many years since the Lord family has lived there.)

(The two establishments were on opposing corners of Lew Street and the highway. Fonda’s Oil Station was where the Plano Collision building is now. Across Lew Street, to the east, was Dewey Parrish’s Tavern, on the corner in the big house that was there.)

“When Mr. Fonda entered The Tavern there were a large number of young men and women assembled there for a lunch of hot sandwiches after a dancing party held at Cramer’s Hall.”

(Cramer’s Hall was the dance hall above a portion of what is now Cooper’s Furniture. It was a popular place at the time from what I’ve heard.)

(Millhurst is that big, at least three-story, limestone building that sits on the Fox River… west of the road from Plano to Millbrook. It doesn’t seem to me that anything would be described as south of Millhurst. Maybe he meant between Millhurst and Millbrook? Or maybe he meant south of Millbrook? Mr. Kohout lived far enough south of Plano that he was not “known by everyone” as most Plano residents of that time were.

(Sheriff Martin Nikolai Hextell was the second of eight children born to Rasmus H. and Julia Sjursdatter (Severson) Hextell. Martin was born on Feb. 9, 1881, in Lisbon, Illinois. In an editorial of August 1921, the Kendall County Record commended Sheriff Hextell: “The people of Kendall County have

Now with two locations: Sandwich and DeKalb •

Elder Law • Asset Protection • Care Coordination • Estate Planning • Life Care Planning Estate Administration • Medicaid Planning • VA Benefits • Advanced Medical Directives

(I don’t know anything about any of these people so I cannot tell you more. And probably most of the readers do not really care in this case. The coroner of DeKalb County and the six men from the same county were given the case because Mr. Kohout died in the hospital in DeKalb County.) “Details of this horrible tragedy here in our midst we will not enumerate, because they are more or less known to all of our people. It is said that after Mr. Fonda came to and was himself again; he claimed that he did not remember having shot anyone and stated that he believed that he was insane.”

“One extremely sad part brought about by Fonda’s conduct is the suffering, grief and sorrow coming to Kohout’s good wife, who is ill at her home and at the time of the shooting was in an Aurora hospital for treatment. Fonda is confined to the county jail at Yorkville with no chance whatsoever of being released on bonds. At the present time it is said that State’s Attorney D.C. Mewhirter will very soon call the Grand Jury together to indict Fonda and will at once call the case to trial. When this trial will occur is not known at this time but whatever happens it will be very disastrous for Mr. Fonda.”

(While it does seem that there were plenty of witnesses to determine who was holding the gun and who was dying on the floor, we can see that times have changed since then. Mr. Fonda was immediately convicted in the

minds of those at the tavern and, within days, the minds of all who heard the story. While it does seem likely that Mr. Fonda moved without any more reasonable cause than the insult of not being willing to share a drink, we do not know exactly what was said between the two men at this point, or earlier in the day. Could there have been extenuating circumstances? Indeed that is a possibility. But was any other evidence brought up in court? We will probably never know.)

“It is the same old story of cheap liquor and its deadly results when consumed by diabetic victims. The really sad and deplorable part of this tragedy is the death of the young man, and our hearts go out to the family because of his sudden end, which was brought about through no fault of his own.”

Dec. 20, 1933: Kendall County Circuit Court news

“Circuit Judge William J. Fulton was holding court, this morning, at the county seat in Yorkville. The matter of fixing bail in the shooting case of William Fonda, who is now in the county jail, was considered and fixed at $15,000 (about $275,000 today). On January 8, the Grand Jury meets and his case will be under consideration as to murder in the first degree or manslaughter.”

Jan. 10, 1934: Kendall County Circuit Court now in session

“The Circuit Court of Kendall County convened for the regular January session, Monday morning, with Judge William J. Fulton on the bench. The Grand Jury went late session and voted three indictments. William Fonda of Plano, was indicted for murder and plead not guilty, and two others. William Fonda, of Plano, was indicted by the grand jury Monday for first-degree murder. He was charged with the murder of Joseph Kohout, Jr., in a “shoot affray” at a tavern in Plano on December 6th, 1933.”

(No one seems to have put in print what William Fonda did, or where he lived, between 1933 and 1938 when he died. Nor do they say what the cause of his death was. Sometimes one reads that Mr. Fonda died in Plano but other times he is said to have died in the penitentiary in Joliet – a more likely situation, it would seem. Mrs. Fonda passed away in 1934.) Another notice was found in the paper in 1938:

“Estate of William E. Fonda, Deceased. Belle C. Gilio, Executrix. In re: Inheritance tax return filed. Set for hearing July 3, 1939 at 10 a.m.

Now to figure out who in the world Belle Gilio might have been and why they asked her to be his Executrix....

“After the death of Mr. Kohout, Coroner Ralph E. Culver, of DeKalb county, empaneled a coroner’s jury composed of six men, Hosea Culver, Curtis Nelson, E.E. Wallace, I.H. Easter, Russell Scott and HS Bradley, all of Sandwich. After hearing the evidence, these men brought in a verdict of murder.”

(When you edit a newspaper, remember to include details for those of us reading a century later. Doing so might clarify the facts from the stories also.)

“Mr. Fonda, after the shooting, went back to his home and went to bed. The police were called, of course. Sheriff Hextell and his deputies, after an all night watch at the home, placed him under arrest the next morning and lodged him in the county jail at Yorkville.”

“Among the patrons was a young man, Joseph Kohout, Jr., who resides south of Millhurst.”

every reason to be proud of their sheriff, Martin N. Hextell. This officer has shown that he is in possession of that element that goes to make up a good police officer--practical bravery. There is nothing gaudy about the fearlessness of this man. But when duty calls and his services are needed, Mr. Hextell steps in without a pang of fear. A local incident, which proves the point, had happened recently. On a Friday night, Sheriff Hextell walked into a dangerous gunman and desperado, gave him shot for shot, and was ready for the final blow when the man committed suicide. “The incident took place in downtown Yorkville; the man was suspected in the murder of a police officer at West Chicago, and was confronted by Hextell in what amounted to a gunfight.”)

PREP VOLLEYBALL: PLANO 2, SANDWICH 0 (25-18, 25-11)

Plano junior Emily Schopp serves the ball in the game against Sandwich. Plano won, 25-18, 25-11, to improve to 5-7 overall and 1-3 in the Interstate Eight Conference

Reapers take down Sandwich in 2 sets By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com The Plano girls volleyball team earned its first Interstate Eight Conference win this season and spoiled rival Sandwich’s Homecoming with a 25-18, 25-11 win on Thursday night. Sandwich falls to 8-8 overall and 0-4 in the league after Thursday’s loss. “The girls are feeling pressure,” Sandwich head coach Selynda Kern said. “We really want to do well in conference. I knew with a young team we might have our ups and downs, but we have to close better. I know we can and I know we will.” With the win, the Reapers improved to 5-7 overall and 1-3 in the conference. “Winning is a habit and losing is a habit, and we are good at falling into habits,” Plano head coach Lisa Esmond said. “I hope this can become a habit for us because we have the potential. ... They have to always bring that level of competitiveness and that level of always playing our rivals on the other side of the net. “We’ve been trying some different things in practice, doing a lot more reps, really hammering the skills, and I think that showed. Our techniques looked really nice passing, hitting and setting. It all came together. We always have moments of playing like this. Our problem is staying there. That’s the one thing we are going to keep working on. We bring it – we just don’t take the next step.” After Game 1 ended with a kill from Plano’s Bradi Gann, the Reapers led most of Game 2 with the exception of two early ties. A kill from Rachel Duffy – one of her team-high six for Plano – gave the Reapers the 3-2 advantage, and from there, they never trailed again. The Reapers scored seven straight points and took their 16-9 lead to a 23-9 advantage behind the serving of setter Lindsay Hoalt, including back-to-back aces and two kills and a block from Duffy. The match ended on a hitting error from Sandwich. “We struggled to put the ball away,”

Plano junior Bradi Gann bumps the ball in Game 2 against Sandwich. Kern said. “We did a nice job of blocking... [but] they have good hitters and we had a hard time adjusting to them.” Duffy added three blocks, Gisselle Melendez added four kills, six digs, four points and one ace, Allison Smith finished with five kills, one block, five digs and four points, while Hoalt added 16 assists for the Reapers. Sandwich was led by Bri Ocon (nine digs), Sydney Coselman (three kills) and Becca Conrad (seven assists). Notes: On Sept. 15, Lisle topped the Indians, 25-16, 25-18. Conrad (eight assists), Maddie Robinson (three kills), Emma King (three blocks) and Coselman (seven points, three aces) led Sandwich. The Indians’ next three outings are all in conference play against Reed-Custer, Herscher and Wilmington.

Plano still swinging strong at 14-0 overall By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com The wins just keep stacking up for the Plano girls golf team. The Reapers are now 14-0 overall with wins against Westmont and Putnam County in the past week. Plano continued the winning streak on Sept. 16 with a 154-193 victory over Westmont at Twin Lakes Golf Course in Westmont. Rylie Loux was the medalist with a 32, followed by Arieanna Acci-

dentale (33), Ashley Martinez (44) and Lexi Clark (45). After the tri-meet with Hinckley-Big Rock and Genoa-Kingston was rained out on Friday, the Reapers topped Putnam County, 199-228, on Monday at Edgewood Park Golf Course in McNabb. Loux was medalist again with a 41, followed by Accidentale (47), Martinez (51) and Clark (60). The Reapers will be at Seneca this week before competing in the Interstate Eight Conference tournament on Sept. 28.

Earlier this week, the Plano girls team found out it will be competing in the Class A Woodstock North Regional on Oct. 7 at Oak Grove Golf Course in Woodstock. That will feed into the Nazareth Academy Sectional on Oct. 12 at Village Greens Golf Course in Woodridge.

PREP CROSS COUNTRY

Reapers’ runners make strides at Bureau Valley Invite By KRISTIN SHARP ksharp@kendallcountynow.com September training continues to pay dividends for the Plano cross country team as the Reapers had a strong effort at last Saturday’s Bureau Valley Invite. Plano fielded full teams of five scoring runners in

both races, with the girls finishing 18th overall and the boys taking 20th in the final standings. “It was a really nice day and I’m really impressed with how they ran especially because so many of them are new,” Plano head coach Kristy Lehner said. “There’s a zig zag in the

course where you almost turn at an acute angle, and that’s just mentally tough. Everybody ran very well.” Annawan-Wethersfield won the girls’ race with three runners in the top six, led by individual winner Kirstie Ramsey, who clocked in at 19:05. For Plano, Demetra Phy-

lactos was 50th overall in 22:28 followed by Yasmine Esparza at 22:54. Jessica Prentice finished in 24:10, Sami Stamper clocked in at 24:12 and Sarah Roberts finished in 26:42. “They did a great job running together,” Lehner said. “I was very happy with the way they both ran.

BOYS SOCCER: SANDWICH 4, PLANO 2

Death of ex-player weighs on teams Sandwich takes early lead in win over Reapers By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com The Sandwich soccer team took an early lead and never trailed, as the Indians topped rival Plano, 4-2, in Sandwich for Homecoming in an Interstate Eight Conference game on Thursday. Sandwich improved to 7-4 overall (4-2 in the conference). “They wanted it,” Sandwich assistant coach Aaron Mlot said. “We played a really tough game the other night [against Manteno] where we came out and played well, but the final score of that one [a 6-1 loss] doesn’t show what really happened in that game. [Against Plano], our kids played hard and they played well. We are always learning and growing. “I know Plano lost a former player, so that has to be impacting them. It also has a couple players on our side upset as well.” The Reapers especially (2-82, 1-5) played with heavy hearts this week, as a former threeyear varsity soccer player Luis Rodriguez died in a car accident on Sept. 12. Rodriguez, 19, was a 2014 Plano graduate. “[Against Lisle two days before Sandwich], we had guys show up to the game right from the wake. ... There’s not a whole lot you can do in that situation,” Plano head coach Tom Dean said. “I credit the guys who showed up to the wake as part of the team – not necessarily because they knew Luis. It really impacted the program. It’s hard to get pumped up for a game with that still on their minds. “Sandwich played well. It was a clean game. I would have loved to have wrecked their Homecoming game, but kudos to their composure. They played very classy.” Sandwich led 2-0 after a rainy first half with goals from Marc Hernandez (assist from

Rosalio Garcia) and Thomas Saitta (assist from Luis Ramirez). In the second half, Saitta pushed the Indians ahead 3-0 with a goal on a penalty kick. Minutes later, Plano scored its first goal on a shot from Ivan Alanis. Minutes after that, Sandwich led 4-1 on a goal from Garcia on an assist from Brock Delphey. A few minutes after that, Alanis tallied again for the Reapers to cap the game’s scoring. Sandwich goalie Alex Wrobel posted four saves. Notes: On Sept. 15, Manteno defeated Sandwich, 6-1. The Indians’ goal was scored by Hernandez (assisted by Wrobel). Wrobel also has six saves. The Indians’ next two games are in non-conference action at Hinckley-Big Rock and Serena.

PREP FOOTBALL: PLANO 56, COAL CITY 13

Reapers bounce back to roll over Coal City Ward, Winter get 3 touchdowns each By CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com After a crushing loss to Manteno last Friday, the Plano football team had no problem getting past Coal City in Week 4 of the season. The Reapers earned their first Interstate Eight Large Division win of the season with the 56-13 victory at Coal City on Saturday afternoon.

On Friday, Plano made it to Coal City, warmed up, had the coin toss and lined up to kick before lightning delayed play to Saturday. The Reapers were not affected by the changes – they were more concerned about bouncing back after their 34-31 loss to Manteno the week before. “[The win against Coal City] made us look back at Week 3 and how we let that one go,” Plano head coach Brad Kunz said. “[Against the Coalers], we played the way we should have all along. We had great focus and a great

week of practice, and that transferred to today. Our guys were ready. They weren’t too worried about the [weather] situation.” The Reapers led 28-0 after the first quarter and 35-6 at halftime. Plano outscored Coal City 14-7 in the third before scoring once more in the fourth quarter. Plano’s offense was well-balanced. Quarterback Tyler Ward went 9-for-10 with 274 yards passing and three touchdowns. His best target, Izzy Adeoti, had five catches for 185 yards and three touchdowns while Jay Winter ended up with 125 yards rushing

and three touchdowns. “Our goal the whole time is to be the most balanced team we can be,” Kunz said. “We just haven’t had a game where every part of the offense clicked until now. Our offensive line was blocking well, and it was like Tyler and Izzy were out there playing catch. Izzy is probably the fastest player in our conference. We didn’t give up a first down until probably a quarter and a half, and our defense played so solid. They allowed the offense so many opportunities.” The Reapers return home in Week 5 hosting Streator – the larg-

est school in the conference. The Bulldogs are 1-3 overall after Manteno won, 41-7, on Saturday. Manteno is the only undefeated team remaining in the conference. The 2005 Plano football team and former head coach Jim Green will be honored before Friday’s game against Streator. Green will also be the honorary captain. “I know Streator has a new head coach [Brian Hassett] and is well-respected,” Kunz said. “We don’t know much about them, but we expect him to do some big things for them. It should be a great night at Reaper Stadium.”

A small bird watches (at left) as a wild turkey walks in the grass near the intersection of Routes 71 and 47 in Yorkville last spring. Wild turkey sightings have become increasingly common in Kendall County in recent years.

The return of the turkey

Big birds find welcoming home along Fox River and even highways By MATT SCHURY mschury@kendallcountynow.com Over the last few months, many motorists passing through the busy Route 30 and Orchard Road intersection in the village of Montgomery have been seeing a pair of wild turkeys standing in the grass along the highway. Some motorists – presumably struck in traffic – have even photographed the birds and posted the photos on social media. But what are turkeys doing in Kendall County and how common are the birds? Montgomery Village President Matt Brolley says he has seen the birds daily on his commute to work and welcomes them to the village. “They’re just chilling,” Brolley said of the birds. “I saw one yesterday trying to cross the street. He was in the second lane and I don’t know if he made it across.” “It’s probably the one benefit to Orchard and Route 30 being a horrible intersection is that when you are waiting in traffic

you can see these turkeys dancing around next to you,” he said. Brolley said he has been trying to come up with names for the turkeys and someone on social media suggested “Thanksgiving” and “Christmas.” “[Kendall County Board member] Scott Gryder [of Oswego] said you have to call one of them Monty,” Brolley said. Joe Rogus, a district forest biologist for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, said the agency last restocked the wild turkey in Kendall County about 10 to 15 years ago around Silver Springs State Park near Plano. The birds that people are seeing now in Montgomery and elsewhere in the county are evidence of the success of that initiative. “They have done very well ever since, their numbers are increasing and there is good habitat up there,” Rogus said of the birds. “They tend to co-exist with people quite well so even if there are homes in the woods they are very adaptive.” Adding to the birds’ ability to survive is the fact that they

really don’t have a lot of natural predators. According to Rogus, about 100 years ago wild turkeys were almost hunted to extinction. Today as they make a comeback, turkeys can be hunted twice a year in the spring and the fall. While Rogus stressed that turkey hunting is not allowed at Silver Springs, it is something that they may consider in the future. “The Fox River corridor is excellent habitat for them. They do very well in areas that have dense woods. There may be some houses in there but you got ag fields and the river,” Rogus said. The bird is also quick, with a top speed of 12 miles per hour, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. One myth that Rogus and other wildlife experts debunk is the idea that turkeys can’t fly. “Once they are adults they fly very well and roost in trees at night,” Rogus said. “Turkeys are excellent flyers.” He added that turkeys have

the ability to fly distances from a quarter of a mile to one mile. Brook McDonald, president of the Conservation Foundation, a local organization dedicated to preserving open space, also confirmed that he has seen the turkeys as he kayaks the Fox River and will occasionally see them fly over the river to cross it. “They are powerful fliers but they look awkward when they fly because they are so big,” he said. Rogus and McDonald say they don’t know exactly how many of turkeys are now roaming Kendall County but they estimate the number could be in the hundreds with heavier concentrations in wooded areas along the Fox River. Like many other wildlife species, McDonald explained that they are learning to adapt to being around people and they are expanding into the natural habitats set aside in parks and forest preserves. “You’ve got Cooper’s hawks and red-tailed hawks in people’s backyards now which you would have never seen 20 or 30 years

ago,” he said. “We’ve set aside lots of natural habitats.” Rogus and McDonald posit that the turkeys hanging around Orchard Road and Route 30 in Montgomery may be foraging for insects or seeds. “The strips of grass between the road and cornfields is becoming more and more important habitat – a lot of mice and small mammals live in those areas,” McDonald said. Rogus adds that turkeys have a range of roughly one mile that they travel around their roost. Their nests are preyed on and eggs are taken from them but the poults, or young turkeys, grow quickly and are bigger than other birds. “The mortality rates on the poults is rather low because they are a big, hardy bird,” Rogus said. Domestic turkeys differ from wild turkeys in appearance. Wild turkeys tend to be a rustic brown color while domestic turkeys tend to be paler. “They are typically white like the Butterball ones,” he said.

JOYCE E. ZITT

Born: Dec. 22, 1931 Died: Sept. 17, 2015 Joyce E. Cockriel Zitt, 83, of Yorkville, IL passed away Thursday, September 17, 2015, at Rush-Copley Medical Center in Aurora, IL, surrounded by her family. She was born December 22, 1931, the daughter of Matthew and Isabelle (Baadte) Harker, in Langford, SD, but Joyce lived most of her life in Kendall County, IL. Joyce graduated from Yorkville High School and later married Carl Cockriel on September 30, 1950, in Aurora. Together they raised their family on Lee Street in Plano, which would be home until after Carl passed in 1985. Joyce was a member of St. Mary Catholic Church in Plano, IL for decades where she and Carl raised their children with commitment to practice of their faith through worship and Catholic education. Joyce was a faithful believer and servant to Jesus, shown quietly in her decades of volunteering as an organist, religious education teacher, and preschool aide. She also took great pride in her 16 years of work as a dental assistant and then as a seamstress. Joyce later married James C. Zitt on August 23, 2003, a second chance at happiness for them both, after losing spouses. They were married at St. Mary Catholic Church where they were both long-time parishioners. In 2010, they began attending St. Patrick Catholic Church in Yorkville which was much closer to their farm south of Yorkville. When they were newlyweds, Joyce often joked that she and Jim had been married for many years, just not to each other (referencing the number of years they were each married to their dearly departed first spouses). She is survived by her loving husband, James Zitt; one daughter, Mary (Dan) Bohr; one son, David Cockriel of Plano; four grandchildren, Sarah (Brandon) Walsh of Plano and Leslie (Mike) Faltz of Sandwich, Stacy (Kevin) Jungkans of Millington, Melissa Durakis (John) of Plano. Joyce is

placed in handcuffs and he refused to identify himself, the reports said. Bond was set at $3,000 and a warrant has been issued. • Michael J. Rexrode, 29, of the 2000 block of Pauline Place, Plano, was charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance in connection with an incident Aug. 22 in Plano, Kendall County Court documents said. According to reports, Rexrode was found with a substance containing cocaine. A Sept. 29 court date was set. • Megan K. Vicory, 34, of the 0-99 block of Marnel Road, Oswego, was charged with unlawful possession and delivery of a controlled substance in connection with an incident Aug. 25 in Kendall County, Kendall County Court documents said. According to reports, Vicory was found with a substance containing cocaine.

MARRIAGE LICENSES also survived by eight cherished great grandchildren, Rocco and William Walsh; Kaleb, Kamden, Kollin, Kassidy, and Konnor Jungkans; and Lily Durakis. Joyce was filled with joy and laughter when her grandchildren, and later her great grandchildren, were around. She loved to spend time with them and tell stories and show pictures of them to others. She is survived by one brother, Anthony David (Mary) Harker of Dayton, OH. In addition, Joyce is survived by her ten step-children, Margie Zitt, Jim Zitt, Tony Zitt, Tom Zitt, Ann Kohut, Tim Zitt, Terry Zitt, Jeanne Keller, Rosy Gundersen, and Andy Zitt; their spouses and families. Joyce was loved and will be greatly missed by her family, friends, and Church community. She was a great example to the family of how to be a wife, mother, and child of God. Joyce was so proud of the family she raised, and the families they in turn raised. There is no better example of kindness, selflessness, and love than her, because of the way she treated others. The word “no” wasn’t in her vocabulary. In times of need, people would turn to Joyce because she was there to do the Lord’s work by helping any way she could. Always on the go, Joyce didn’t know how to slow down, although she was constantly being told to do so. Even in times of tragedy, Joyce remained a pillar of strength because of her faith. She was preceded in death by her parents; her first husband, Carl; and two sons, Thomas and Steve Cockriel; and one brother and sister-in-law, Blaine and Jean Harker. Funeral Mass was held at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, September 21, 2015, at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Yorkville with Rev. Matt Lamoureux officiating. Burial will be at a later date at St. Patrick’s Catholic Cemetery in Bristol. Visitation was from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 20, 2015, at Turner-Eighner Funeral Home in Plano with a prayer service at 7:30 p.m. Memorials may be directed to St. Patrick Catholic Church in Yorkville.

Walk For Hope coming up in Oct. SHAW MEDIA Mutual Ground, a local domestic and sexual violence services agency, will host its eighth annual Walk For Hope on Saturday, Oct. 17, at Fabyan Forest Preserve in Geneva. Walk for Hope is Mutual Ground’s largest fundraising event of the year with more than 250 walkers and 25 sponsors. Every dollar raised helps Mutual Ground provide services essential to victims’ recovery. This year’s Walk for Hope is even more important to the sustainability of Mutual Ground, as the state of Illinois has still not balanced its budget, leaving Mutual Ground and other agencies providing vital services without the funding they receive from DHS.

The event will begin at 9:30 a.m. with walker registration starting at 8 a.m. Friends, families and friendly dogs are welcome to come and join walkers or cheer for their favorite team. Local nonprofit partner Rover Rescue will match Mutual Ground supporters with dogs in need of forever homes as well as host a dog costume contest. Face painting, massages, snacks and more will be available to walkers and their families. Jimmy John’s of Oswego and Yorkville will be providing a light lunch. There is still time to create or join a team or donate to a current walker by visiting mutualground. org. Businesses interested in sponsoring this event may contact Michelle at 630-897-0084, ext. 101.

Seasonal Allergies

Affecting Your Life?

some things

JUST FIT 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.

Sports items sought for overseas military

Operation R&R is a new campaign to collect and send sports balls to military personnel overseas, while commemorating Sept. 11, Patriot’s Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance. It is jointly sponsored by Senior Services/Retired and Senior Volunteer Program and Plano American Legion Leon Burson Post 395. Throughout the month of September, new and gently used baseballs, ball mitts, softballs and other sports balls will be collected and then shipped to military personnel stationed overseas. “The objective of Operation R&R is to bring some rest and relaxation to our deployed military personnel and, if possible, to help out here at home, too,” said Jim Hill, commander of Post 395.

“We are also seeking monetary donations to help defray the cost of shipping,” he said. Donations are being accepted at the Plano American Legion Post 395, 510 E.

WCC conservation work lauded SHAW MEDIA At its Sept. 16 board meeting, Waubonsee Community College was recognized for conservation efforts by Brook McDonald, president and CEO of The Conservation Foundation. Waubonsee recently earned Conservation@ Work certification from the foundation for making a positive environmental impact on its campuses. The criteria for the program requires that the property have native plants for the benefit of

water conservation and wildlife; that there is clear evidence of stewardship of land; that water on the site is managed effectively to reduce runoff; that property along creeks, rivers or a pond is managed to reduce erosion and pollutants; and that reduced use of chemicals is recommended. Once certified, businesses receive a sign recognizing their efforts and oneon-one advice about ways to make an even greater positive environmental impact on the property. The foundation has helped

nearly 1,000 land owners improve their properties through these programs. McDonald said that as an educational institution, Waubonsee has lived up to its responsibility to demonstrate sustainable practices. The recognition is for the Sugar Grove, Plano and Aurora campuses. “Their native landscaping is not only beautiful, but has functional value to improve drainage and water quality, and provide wildlife and pollinator species a haven so they can live and survive,” he said.

*Knee pain affecting daily activities? *Difficulty getting up from the floor? *Pain going up/down stairs? *Knee pain with jogging/running? *Knee pain getting up from a chair? *Popping/cracking sounds in your knee?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you could be suffering from knee arthritis.

A beautiful spring begins with planting done this fall bulb growth. Consider the physical location. Plant a few bulbs near spaces you see every day. Part of the joy of spring bulbs is seeing those first green signs of spring emerge from the cold ground. Daffodils are a must for the Illinois garden not just because of the wide variety of shapes, sizes, and color combinations available, but because they are poisonous. This means that nothing will eat them. Also daffodils multiply and naturalize beautifully, without having to be divided often. Tulips are beautiful choices for the spring garden, but they are also a tasty treat for local wildlife, such as rabbits, squirrels, and deer. In heavy clay soils, tulips tend to be relatively short-lived.

After about three or four years, it is not uncommon for tulips to begin to decline, first failing to bloom and eventually dying off. Consider planting some of the lesser known spring bulbs that are attractive in their own right. Galanthus, or snowdrops, are one of the earliest-blooming spring bulbs, often blooming with snow still on the ground. Scilla siberica, or Siberian squill, has small blue flowers and is only 6 inches tall, but packs a big punch when planted en masse. Iris histroides, I. reticulate, and I. danfordiae are some other early bloomers to consider for their delicate display. When planting bulbs, a good rule of thumb is to plant bulbs two to three times as deep as they are tall. Mea-

sure the depth of planting from the bottom of the bulb. Plant bulbs right side up. The “right side” is generally more pointed than the root end. If this distinction is not obvious, plant the bulb sideways and Mother Nature

will sort it out. When purchasing bulbs, choose unblemished, firm bulbs with little or no new growth. Keep in mind that for a given species, larger bulbs will produce larger or more flowers than smaller

bulbs. Bargain bulbs are no bargain if they are small for their species. For information on planting spring bulbs, check out the U of I Extension’s “Bulbs and More” website at www. extension.illinois.edu/bulbs.

Have you ever admired the vibrant colors of spring flowers and wondered how to create this beauty in your own landscape? “The time to plant for spring bloomers is now,” said University of Illinois Extension horticulture educator Jennifer Nelson. “This is your friendly reminder that fall is the proper time to plant spring bulbs,” she said. Nelson offers tips for planting spring bulbs: Plant in well-drained soil. Clay soils commonly found in Illinois gardens often do not drain well. Excess water in the soil surrounding bulbs promotes rot and will eventually kill the bulbs. Improve drainage in heavy clay soil with organic materials such as compost or shredded leaves to encourage healthy

Summer vacation is just about over for our houseplants that we set out last spring. Now the decision needs to be made of what comes back in the home for the winter. We generally consider any plant that cannot survive outside in cooler temperatures a “houseplant,” since many of them have a tropical background or are from a hardiness zone warmer than ours. For many, we take them outside to let Mother Nature nurture them back to a better state of health, knowing that once back inside, they will be in a less than a perfect growing location. You may have set them out on the ground under shrubs or evergreens, put them on the edge of the patio or next to the home. Since the houseplants are not frost tolerant, the best practice is to get them acclimated to being indoors long before we have really cool temperatures outdoors. To start the process, each houseplant should be looked at to see if it is one you really want back in the house. Any plants not headed back inside should be added to the compost bin. Clean up the houseplants by removing or pruning out anything dead, and by removing any weeds that may have

DOWN THE GARDEN PATH Richard Hentschel sprouted in the pots. You may be surprised how much they have grown, having had plenty of sunlight, rain and, in general, just from being outdoors. This is the time to adjust their size by cutting back or pinching the newer growth, which will help the transition indoors. The next step is to deal with any insects that have found a home on the houseplant or more likely in the soil in the pot. In the plant itself, there could be spiders using the plant as a place to capture their prey or other insects using the plant as a resting site. In the potting soil there can be earwigs, or those little armadillo looking creatures that roll up in a ball when disturbed that commonly are called pill bugs, and even ants can set up home in the pot. All these are natural and expected, except we really don’t want them indoors. Before resorting to a pesticide, try a forceful stream of water on the foliage to dislodge insects. Also try flushing the pot with water, which usually drives out any insects

that have entered through the drainage holes. If you have found ants, you may need to fully repot the houseplant, shaking all the soil off and in the process leaving the ants behind, and then use a fresh potting soil when you reset the plant. The last part of the process is moving those houseplants that have been in strong sunlight to locations that are shadier. This will start to get them used to lower light levels that they will have once inside. Ideally, the houseplants should be back indoors before the furnace starts to run. If you need a target date to get this done, use Sept. 30. Questions about your yard or garden? The Kendall County Master Gardener Help Desk is still open this season. Trained volunteers are available to help with your horticulture questions from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at 630-553-5823.

FALL FLAVOR

Maple Walnut Cookies will delight friends, family By the editors of Relish Magazine

Want to be a smart cookie? Here are some cookie-baking tips from the Relish test kitchen: • Use self-rising flour, which has leavening agents and salt in premeasured proportions. No need to be measuring out baking powder and soda. • Make sure your ingredients are room temperature. • Use an insulated baking pan. • Don’t “fluff” the creamed mixture. This whips too much air into the dough. Beat just until creamy.

Maple Walnut Cookies Cookie ingredients: 1 cup butter 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup brown sugar 2 large eggs 1 cup whole-wheat flour 1 cup self-rising white flour (plus ½ to 1 cup more if needed) 2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts 1 teaspoon maple flavoring 1 teaspoon salt

Icing ingredients: 4 tablespoons butter 2 cups powdered sugar 1 teaspoon maple flavoring 3 to 4 tablespoons milk Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine butter, sugars, eggs, flavoring, and salt and beat until just combined. Add flours, 1 cup at a time. If dough is sticky to the touch, add more self-rising flour in 1/2-cup increments until smooth. Stir in walnuts.

Scoop onto a baking sheet one dozen at a time. Bake in center of oven 10 to 13 minutes, until cookies are puffy and beginning to turn tan. Remove from oven and let cool. Meanwhile, mix icing ingredients until texture is smooth and thick. Add more milk or sugar to achieve a creamy texture. Ice tops of cookies. Makes 2 dozen.

• When adding the flour, beat the mixture just until the flour disappears. • Remove your cookies from the oven just before they look done. A tan cookie will be more dense and pliable than a golden cookie. • Use a small or medium scoop to measure dough. • Make sure your baking sheet cools down before scooping a second batch onto it to keep your cookies from spreading too much. • A metal cake spatula is better for removing cookies from the pan – it’s less sticky than a rubber cookie spatula.

The Norsk Museum’s Norwegian Timeline is a 25-foot banner covering an entire wall, providing a chronological journey from the Viking Age to present day Norway.

Norwegian Timeline featured at museum The Norsk Museum in Norway, Illinois, completed a major renovation this summer. One of the highlights is the Norwegian Timeline. The Norwegian Timeline is a 25-foot banner covering an entire wall, providing a chronological journey from the Viking Age to present day Norway. The timeline was made possible by a contribution from Olaf Gjovik,

owner of Gjovik Auto in Sandwich. Olaf’s father, Olaf Gjøvik, came to America in 1901 from Tromsø, Norway. The Norsk Museum is nine miles northeast of Ottawa on Route 71 at 3656 E. 2631st Road in Norway. It is open from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday from June through September. For information, visit norskmuseum.org.
