Police towear bodycameras?Montgomery may be firstin Kendall to equip officers
By JOHN [email protected]
Officers from at least one Kendall County law en-forcement agency will be wearing body cameras be-ginning next year.
Montgomery Police Chief Daniel Meyers an-nounced this past week he expects village patrol offi-cers and sergeants will be equipped with body camer-as by mid-to-late 2016.
Meanwhile, Kendall County Sheriff Dwight Bairdand other county police chiefs are considering equip-ping their officers with the small cameras, which cap-ture video of officers’ on-duty interactions with thepublic.
But Baird and the other chiefs also expressed con-cerns about the cost to purchase the cameras and thenmaintain the hours of video they will produce.
Gov. Bruce Rauner signed legislation last monthcreating statewide standards for the use of body cam-eras by police. The legislation, however, does not re-quire police departments to use the cameras.
To help police departments pay for equipping theirofficers with cameras, the legislation imposes a $5 feeon traffic tickets issued by police statewide.
Noting that police across the country have been un-der increased scrutiny over the past 12 to 18 months,Meyers said he believes the video cameras will ulti-mately serve to protect his officers against complaintsfrom the public.
He added the majority of village officers have beensupportive of the idea of using cameras.
“There has been a lot of discussion about body-worn cameras among our officers over the last twoyears and they know that someday we will be wearingthem and they support that,” Meyers said.
Meyers noted that village police have had camerasin their squad cars for the past 15 years.
“We’ve used those videos [from the squad car cam-eras] in court and it has helped,” he said.
Meyers said how the department will pay for thecameras and associated software to maintain the vid-eos will be the subject of discussions over the nextseveral months as work proceeds on his department’sannual budget. The police department’s budget is in-cluded in the village’s annual budget, which is adopt-ed by the village board every April. The village’s nextfiscal year will begin May 1.

Hiring people with disabilities topic for forumBy MATT SCHURY
Hiring people with dis-abilities was the topic of arecent panel discussion ledby U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Na-perville, and U.S. Deputy Sec-retary of Labor Chris Lu atthe offices of the Fox MetroWater Reclamation Districtnear Montgomery.
A large group of area busi-ness leaders, employers andlocal state representativesparticipated in the discus-sion Wednesday, Aug. 26.
Foster said his officereached out to local employ-ers and advocacy groups whosupport disabled workers toinform them about how theycan help such workers, whoall too often go unnoticed.
“This is an issue thatdoesn’t get as much attentionas it deserves,” Foster said,adding, “Employing the dis-abled isn’t an act of charity, itbenefits all of us.”
He explained that employ-ing the disabled allows em-ployers to be eligible for taxbreaks including a tax creditof up to $2,400.
Foster said there are taxcredits available to makeworkplaces compliant withthe Americans with Disabil-ities Act, including a $10,000credit to small businesses anda deduction of up to $15,000for employers of any size forthe removal of architectureand transportation barriersto persons with disabilities.
Foster and Lu pointed outthat it has been 25 years sincePresident George H.W. Bushsigned the ADA into law.
Lu said despite the phys-ical improvements to helpthe disabled get around thathave been accomplished un-der ADA, many people withdisabilities still struggle tofind work.
“While we are right tocongratulate ourselves aboutcurb cuts and push buttondoors, the harsh reality rightnow is that the labor forceparticipation of people withdisabilities is only 20 percent,compared to 70 percent forthe general population,” hesaid.
The Department of Labor,Lu added, strongly believesthat employment first is theright approach to servingpeople with disabilities. He
said employers need to giveevery opportunity to inte-grate people with disabilitiesinto traditional workplaces.
“America is in a globalcompetition right now andin this competition we needto field a full team, we can’tafford to leave anyone on thesidelines,” Lu said.
About 50 people packedinto the administrationbuilding at Fox Metro for thediscussion. Tom Muth, dis-trict manager for Fox Metro,introduced Foster and Lu. Hesaid employing the disabledis a priority at the district.
“We are the stewards ofthe environment and westrive to be an equal rightsemployer,” Muth said.
The panel memberscleared up some of the mis-conceptions about hiring thedisabled and talked about tax
incentives as well as resourc-es for employers who hire thedisabled. The speakers alsodiscussed how employers canfind qualified employees.
Ken Skord, director ofAbilityLinks, a website thathelps people with disabilitiesfind jobs, said many times taxdollars and insurance dollarsare spent to help people re-cover from disabilities.
“This is a way for you asan employer to be proactiveto find qualified candidateswith disabilities,” he said.“You can’t ask about disabili-ty but people with disabilities
can volunteer to disclose.”He added that people who
post their résumés on Abil-ityLinks self-identify theirdisability.
Janice Duvall, a referralcounselor at AbilityLinks,shared her own story of be-ing born with a rare heredityeye condition that limits hervision.
“I’m here to put a face onan individual who has a dis-ability in the workplace,” shesaid.
Duvall said that she grewup and went through schoolwithout any tools to help her
with her disability.“I was an individual with
a disability that had sight, Iwas considered low vision,”she said.
She recalled the techniqueshe used to see the black-board in elementary school.
“If I had to see the black-board I just pushed my littledesk up to the blackboard,put my nose about three inch-es from the blackboard andread it,” she said. “There wasno other avenue for me.”
She added that that waswhat life was like for a stu-dent with a disability up untilthe 1990s.
Duvall said that she nowhas assistance from technol-ogy that helps her do her job.
“What a difference andwhat a game changer tech-nology has made,” she said.“I use a piece of software thatuses zoom text that magnifiesthe screen and I also use avideo magnifier.”
Employers should be opento the possibility of disabledworkers getting assistancethrough technology, she said.
“All I ask is that you beopen-minded to what assistedtechnology can do,” she said.“Companies are wise to hireindividuals with disabilitiesto keep them working and offthe tax rolls.”
“...the harsh realityright now is that thelabor force participa-tion of people withdisabilities is only 20
percent...”Chris Lu

Meyers said the fundshis department will receivefrom the $5 traffic ticket sur-charge will eventually coverthe full cost for the cameras.
“The purchase of thecameras is the small partof this,” Meyers explained,adding, “The software andthe storage [of the videos] iswhere it will get costly.”
“We have between fiveand six officers on patrolfor each shift, so I’ll prob-ably purchase eight or ten[cameras]. The officers willsign them out for each shift,similar to signing out a ra-dio and/or a mic for a dig-ital camera that is in theirsquad car.”
Baird said he will investi-gate bringing the cameras tothe sheriff’s department butisn’t ready to move forwardwith them just yet.
“That’s something we’regoing to look into,” Bairdsaid, adding that he waspart of an effort with Oswe-go Police Capt. Jim Jensento equip an Oswego squadcar with a camera in 1993 – afirst for Kendall County.
“I have mixed reviewson the cameras. I think thatthey can offer some level ofrecording and documenta-tion of what happened ona particular case, but theydon’t see everything,” hesaid.
For instance, he notedthat peripheral vision isless than that of a human.Another problem, he said isthat people will request thefootage under the Freedomof Information Act and editthe videos out of context.
“Oftentimes people willtry to tell the story with amere Polaroid snapshot ofwhat happened,” Baird said.
Another concern is cost.Baird added that he is not
budgeting for the camerasthis year without knowinghow much state funding thecounty will be getting.
He said the sheriff’s of-fice researched grants forgetting cameras as well butis not ready to move for-ward on the cameras.
“I haven’t thought aboutcost but I think the state ofIllinois needs to get theirfinancial woes figured outbefore they start passingdown unfunded mandates,which I’m glad to see this isnot mandatory,” Baird said.“I’m not opposed to them –just who is going to pay forit. I think more researchneeds to be done.”
As far as the camerascatching police misconduct,Baird says that’s another is-sue.
“I think if police exec-utives were given morelatitude on holding their
officers and deputies ac-countable that some of thispolice misconduct could beavoided,” Baird said. “Youallow us to clean up our pro-fession and that will reallyhelp a lot of this, but not allof it.”
Yorkville Police ChiefRich Hart says he thinksthe cameras are a good ideaand believes the police de-partment will adopt themone day. However, he alsohas concerns about payingfor the devices, which couldrun as much as $100,000 toequip officers.
There are 30 full-timesworn officers and fivepart-time officers on theYorkville Police Depart-ment, and of those, about 21are patrol officers. Hart saidhe would like to equip mostof the officers with camer-as, including patrol officers,patrol sergeants and detec-tives.
“I’d say they are a goodidea,” Hart said. Many peo-ple are calling for police tocarry these cameras to catchcases of police abuse, Hartmentioned, but those casesdon’t happen that often.
Hart said the camerascould actually make his de-
partment’s job easier.“It’s going to be more ev-
idence for us against peoplein criminal cases. And that’swhat the public doesn’t un-derstand about police videocases is that when we go todomestic situations wherepeople are intoxicated andthey act horribly,” Hartsaid. “I think a lot of peoplewill be in for a shock oncewe get these video camerasbecause they’re thinking it’sto keep down police brutali-ty issues and it’s going to bequite different.”
Both Hart and Bairdalso say they have concernsabout the limitations of thecameras.
“They don’t get it all andthere is an example of ashooting in Chicago wherethe police looked like theywere shooting an unarmedman when he actually had agun behind his back,” Hartsaid.
Another video, Hart said,taken from a different angle,revealed the gun.
Hart said that peoplemight be shocked if a videoof them appears in court.
“I can tell you from per-sonal experiences that we’lldeal with some of these do-
mestic situations or neigh-borhood disputes and peo-ple are out of control,” Hartsaid. “And then when itcomes time for court two orthree months later they’rein a suit, clean cut and a pil-lar of their community.”
Oswego Police Chief JeffBurgner described villagepolice as being in “researchmode” on the use of the cam-eras.
“I have no problem withcameras,” Burgner said. “Iwould like to have the abil-ity to do that [videotaping].”
He added that he has notpolled the department’s 49officers on the use of thecameras, but believes theywould also be supportive.
“I have heard no nega-tive pushback from our offi-cers,” he said.
Burgner said the depart-ment is researching theoverall use of the camerasand their potential impacton the district’s financesand operation.
“I think we are all prettymuch looking at them,” Pla-no Police Chief Steve Eavessaid, referring to his depart-ment and others in the area.
Plano has not tested thedevices yet and the biggestquestion for the departmentmay be the cost, Eaves said.
But he said the depart-ment has had good experi-ence with cameras in squadcars and believes that add-ing the body cameras wouldhelp, rather than hinder,law enforcement.
“I think they would defi-nitely be an asset,” he said.“A lot of people might thinkit would go against the of-ficer, but it is also to his orher protection.”

Kendall deputiescarrying Narcan
By MATT [email protected]
Kendall County sheriff’sdeputies are now carrying asubstance to help individu-als who overdose on opioidssuch as heroin, thanks to ananonymous donation froma local health care provider.
County deputies recent-ly received training to ad-minister intranasal nalox-one, commonly known asNarcan.
Health officials say thedrug helps reverse the ef-fects of opioids such asheroin, methadone andoxycodone. It is used byparamedics in cases of drugoverdoses. AdministeringNarcan quickly will allowtime for medical personnelto arrive and provide treat-ment to the person, accord-ing to the sheriff’s office.
“I feel that it’s importantto equip the deputies withsome lifesaving options forthese overdose situations,”Kendall County SheriffDwight Baird said thisweek. “I just think it is goodpublic safety practice.”
He explained that depu-ties are sometimes first onthe scene of an overdose be-fore medical personal andparamedics arrive.
According to the sher-iff’s office, the training wasconducted at the KendallCounty Public Safety Cen-ter by a local health careprovider with a long-stand-ing relationship with thecommunity and the sher-iff’s office. The health careprovider donated 60 nasalspray doses of Narcan.
The training consisted ofa review of opioid use andoverdose trends, signs andsymptoms of opioid over-dose and withdrawal, anda demonstration on how toadminister intranasal nal-oxone.
“Training has been inplace and the patrol depu-ties out on the street willhave Narcan with them,”Baird said.
Law enforcement offi-cials say heroin use has in-creased in Kendall Countyover the last 10 years as partof a broader trend of use inChicago and its suburbs.
A string of three deathsfrom suspected heroin over-doses in as many days oc-curred in May. The deathsoccurred in three differentmunicipalities in KendallCounty on May 22-24 inYorkville, Montgomery andan unincorporated area ofKendall County near Boul-der Hill.

PLANO RECORD
Oswego police have iden-tified the suspect in an earlySaturday morning shootingin the village as Taylor J.Cano, 24, of the 0-100 blockof Ashlawn Avenue.

Still no answer onMetra RTA question
Would Kendall County have to join theRegional Transportation Authority in orderto have Metra commuter rail service extend-ed into the county?
For nearly 20 years we’ve attempted toget a definitive answer to that question, butcontinue to come up short in our efforts.
Over the years, supporters of the localMetra effort have suggested joining the RTAmight not be a requirement, while opponents– wary of the imposition of the RTA gas taxhere – have considered it a fait accompli.
Our reporter, Matt Schury, tried againlast week during a press conference at Oswe-go Village Hall. Answering questions posedby Schury and other area media were two ofMetra’s current top dogs, Martin Oberman,chairman of Metra’s Board of Directors, andDon Orseno, the agency’s executive director.
Oberman expressed uncertainty whenasked if Kendall County would have to jointhe RTA. He said, “That is one possibility;there are legal ways to structure extendingservice out of the RTA geography – it’s neverhappened.”
Referring to Kendall County, Obermanadded, “They wouldn’t have to join the RTA,but the real question is what’s the cost?”
Ah, the cost. Everyone interested inextending Metra service to Kendall Countyagrees it will cost millions of dollars to con-struct stations and upgrade the BurlingtonNorthern Santa Fe Railway mainline tracksto accommodate commuter trains.
Further complicating those efforts,Oberman acknowledged, is Metra’s con-tinuing budget deficit. He noted the agencycurrently needs to make $11 billion in capitalimprovements to its existing equipment andinfrastructure.
Oswego Village President Gail Johnsonshould be commended for organizing lastweek’s meeting of county mayors and Metraofficials. It is important that county and localmunicipal officials are fully aware of all theissues that would first need to be resolved inorder to extend Metra service here. But giv-en the current budget realities facing Metra,Kendall County and county municipalitiesand the continuing lack of clarity on theRTA issue, the prospect of Metra commutertrains rolling down the tracks from Aurorato Montgomery, Oswego and other munici-palities seems as remote to us now as it didnearly 20 years ago when the idea was firstraised in a long-range Metra planning study.
Perhaps Oberman said it best when askedif county residents anxious for Metra serviceshould have their hopes raised by last week’smeeting.
“I don’t think people’s expectationsshould be falsely raised or falsely closed.It’s an ongoing process. I think everybodybelieves mass transit is a good thing, but is itpractical in these economic times to say thisis going to be happening in the foreseeablefuture? We don’t know the answer to that,”he said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Concerned withvandalism, graffitiTo the Editor:The Kendall Forest Preserve
recently decided to close theold “walking bridge” near Mill-brook. They indicated safetyconcerns. They secured theentrance with welded steelbars and large cautions signs.Within a few weeks thesesigns were ripped off andtossed away by young van-dals. They were photographedby a neighbor and policewere called. I somewhatunderstand having counseledteens many years ago. I thinkI understand why this wasdone. Just group mischiefeven though not right.This past week in the same
area we had graffiti painted onthe street to express a politicalopinion. This obviously wasdone by a person local to thevillage or township…an adultof voting age and probably ahomeowner. It was a cowardlyact by someone unable tostand up at a meeting andexpress their point of view.Maybe a narcissistic individualwho thinks only their positionis right? Where is the respectfor the community? Graffiti onthe street doesn’t do anythingpositive for our neighbors, ourreal estate values, our localbusinesses or the image ofwhat we hope people passing
through will think of us.There are meetings of the
Forest Preserve District,the Village of Millbrook, theEstates of Millbrook and FoxTownship boards that allowfor expressions of opinions.The graffiti painter should go.If they had, they would findthat their scrawled politicalmessage had already beentaken care of. I guess it iseasier to write on roadsthan to go to a meeting andfind out that the person youwere targeting had alreadyresigned.If you don’t have the ability
or courage to speak in frontof people, maybe you couldcontact our local RepublicanCommitteeman, Todd Milliron.I generally consider Todda pain but he attends most
meetings and has the courageto speak his mind and willrepresent the opinions ofothers. As a veteran, I appre-ciate courage…not cowardlygraffiti.

unemployment and fewerpeople in the legal work-force. More “discouraged”or part-time workers join thejobless welfare population.With more poverty comesillegal activities. More areasof large cities are taken overby gangs. Police are restrictedand resisted. Incidents sparkriots as a hopeless futureerodes civic responsibility.The political establishmentbenefits from their votesin return for welfare – foodstamps, housing, medical,transportation – everythingbut a job. We have gone towar to free Iraqis and Afghansfrom these conditions, yet wepermit such suffering here.A minimumwage does not
just drive more into wel-fare-ridden poverty. It harmsthe rest of us. The wage hikeunaccompanied by a pro-ductivity increase and withmore indigents to support isinflationary, and inflation hurtsthe poor most. Automatingto avoid hiring artificiallyexpensive labor does noteliminate a cost, it merelyreduces the cost increase.We end up over-mechanizedand very vulnerable to lowerwage foreign competition.Manufacturing has droppedfrom employing 50 percent ofworkers in the 1950s to under20 percent now.Although there is a prac-
tically endless list of badconsequences fromminimumwage laws, consider one such– illegal immigration. Europe’s
“migrant” crisis, our Mexicanborder difficulties, foreignworkers in the Persian GulfStates: despair drives peopleto endanger their lives whenthe reward is the artificiallyhigh wage available in the U.Sand Europe. We, and Europe,employ armies of borderguards and bureaucrats tostem illegal immigration, cap-ture and deport aliens and fi-nally to grant amnesties, whilelegal immigrant applicants,many with advanced degreesfrom American universities,wait for years for admission.Those advocating any
policy except elimination inregard to the minimum wageissue should be shunned asenemies of the poor.

Waubonseeboard OKs$94M budget
By BRENDA [email protected]
The Waubonsee Commu-nity College Board approveda $94 million budget for fis-cal 2016, about $2 millionless than fiscal 2015, officialssaid.
The budget was adoptedat the board’s Aug. 19 meet-ing, college spokeswomanStephanie Wennmacherwrote in an email. With thecompletion of the 2020 Col-lege Master Plan this pastMarch, officials are allocat-ing less money to campusconstruction projects thisupcoming year, she wrote.
Campus constructionand renovation funds areaccumulated in operationsand maintenance, a restrict-ed fund, she wrote. About$5 million is being budget-ed for renovation of thecollege’s Copley Campus,which is scheduled to beginin late December.
Property taxes providemore than half of the col-lege’s operating revenue.Tuition and fees provideabout a third of the college’soperating revenue, withstate funds providing lessthan 10 percent, accordingto Wennmacher’s email.
Waubonseemeets local workforce training needsMany employers in the
Waubonsee CommunityCollege district rely on tem-porary workers to augmenttheir workforce. In fact,with 17,000 openings thisyear, Waubonsee’s region isone of the state’s largest interms of temporary work-ers.
Training temporaryworkers often poses a chal-lenge for companies since,by the very nature of thelabor need, they have press-ing production demands.Still, employers do wantto keep their workers safe,reduce worker’s compensa-tion claims and limit theirrisk of citations or fines.
Recognizing thisgrowing segment of the
workforce and its uniquetraining needs, the Wau-bonsee Workforce Develop-ment division applied forand received grant fundingthrough the Departmentof Labor’s OccupationalSafety and Health Adminis-tration.
The money has beenused to provide free train-ing to staffing agencies andtheir partnering employersto ensure that temporaryworkers receive vital infor-mation about safety in theworkplace, including such
topics as how to properlywork around machines,chemicals and forklifts.
As a result of this fund-ing opportunity, more than400 temporary workershave received four-hour ba-sic safety training in eitherEnglish or Spanish.
This safety training pro-gram is just one example ofthe Waubonsee WorkforceDevelopment departmentrecognizing a local employ-er need and working tomeet it.
The department’s mostpopular training solutionsinclude technical training,such as welding, blueprintreading and pneumatics;skill-based training, suchas phlebotomy, CPR and
computer software; andleadership developmentfor new or more seasonedsupervisors and managers.
Just as a training’ssubject matter and contentcan be customized for aparticular company’s needsand situation, so too can thetraining’s time and place.For example, Workforce De-velopment conducted someof the safety training fortemporary workers before
or after their shift, or foralternating groups of work-ers, so that production wasnot negatively impacted.
With those companies,we often delivered thetraining on-site, while othercompanies preferred totrain at one of Waubonsee’scampuses.
Our team of staff andtrainers can provide awealth of knowledge andservices, but we also pride
ourselves on being ableto put our businesses intouch with broader regionalresources.
It’s just one of the manybenefits we are able to de-liver, thanks to the vibrantrole we play in the localbusiness community.
If your company is inneed of a specialized busi-ness solution or resource,please contact the Work-force Development depart-ment at Waubonsee Com-munity College. Email us [email protected] or call630-906-4152.

Plano’s Past: Hatch family diary illuminates Plano life in 1936By KRISTY LAWRIE GRAVLIN
For Shaw Media
Recently Plano’s Pastcolumn received a gift fromthe past. Jim and JudyHatch sent pictures, stories,a high school annual from1916 (when grads took a“blank” school memoriesbook and added their ownphotos and comments untilthey had their own annual),and a precious little diarykept by Elizabeth Hatch, themother of Merle Hatch.
Many thanks to thefamily of Elizabeth Hatchfor her contributions to thisweek’s column.
As I read through thediary I was struck by howmany of those people andevents current residentsknow. It won’t be possiblefor all of us to get a turnto read this little book…so I thought you mightenjoy reading it here. Feelencouraged to let us knowwhich entries bring backmemories to you. The larg-er Hatch family has a LittleRock area background, butElizabeth and her family
were living in a large homeon East Main Street… theone with the turret, whereHoward and Lucille Wadelived in the 1950s.
Who was a memberof the Hatch family? Theearliest members I knowfor the Hatch line that cameto Plano were Arthur andMargaret Hatch, who wereapparently born in Englandabout 1570 or so. Their sixchildren included Thom-as, who was born in Kent,England, in about 1603. Hemarried, in 1624, to GraceLewis.
Their son was Capt. Jon-athan Hatch, who marriedSarah Rowley. They cameto the new colony and bothdied in Massachusetts.
Their son Joseph mar-ried Amy Allen… and theirdaughter was named for hermother – Amy Allen Hatch.
She would marrysomeone whose surnamewould someday be familiarto Americans – JonathanDelano Jr. – in Dartmouth,Massachusetts. He wouldmove the family to, and diein, Tolland, Connecticut.
Their daughter Joannamarried Joseph West inTolland. Their daughter,Bathsheba West, was bornon July 9, 1741.
It was in this generationthat the name Hatch againentered the male side ofthe family tree. Their sonHorace was born in 1786 inSaratoga, New York.

September 1, 1936: RainAll Day. Got card from L.A. Deau announcing Cat-ville School Picnic. [Cat-ville became Rockville andthe area was the intersec-tion of Jericho and JeterRoads.] Wrote to Homer.Had a good rain. Rec’d aninvitation to Edna Gravesparty. [Edna was marriedto William Graves. She wasburied at Plano in 1940.]Mrs. Marlin paid me 6-1/2dollars on rent, 50 cents ongas. Got letters from FarmLoan at St. Louis.
September 2, 1936: Rainand warmer. Got letterfrom Em Jay. [Emily livedin Plano where she wasactive in the Woman’s Cluband the Women’s ReliefCorps.] Went downtown.[Downtown must mean Pla-no] Got $5.00 from Savings.[at the bank]. Paid Electricand gas bill. Cleaned outmy furnace.
September 3, 1936:Clear and cool. Cut grass& worked in yard. Mrs.Wright & I went to showat night [10 cents]. Calledthere in afternoon. Ladylooking for a room called.[Mrs. Wright is a ques-tion…Catherine Belle Wil-lis? Helen Mays Ford? ElizaRebecca Worby? Janette?Louise Lancaster? Maggie?Some times there are toomany possibilities. All ofthese ladies were about theright age, and still living.We cannot tell from this en-try which is the right one.]
September 4, 1936: Fineweather. Dora Nelsoncalled. Card from Mildred.Clara Helgren [sic] andfriend called to see abouta room. Les was here onbusiness. High schoolteacher for room. [DorotheaPeterson – Mrs. Nels Mari-nus Nelson, Jr – is the onlyone of 184 Nelsons that goesby the first name “Dora”.So I think this must be thewoman who was called Eliz-abeth.

Did Math remain“at home” somewhere?Or did he also move to theMain Street address? Isuspect that “Mildred Gil”is actually Mildred Gilpat-rick. She was a teacher too,although I doubt that sheneeded to rent a room asher family lived in Plano.]

Ju-nior Sami Stamper (24:58),junior Sarah Roberts (27:26)and sophomore JocelynBermudez (27:27) also racedfor the Reapers.
“Yasmine really had agreat race. She seems morerelaxed and had an all-timePR,” Lehner said. “Demetraand Lexi had really goodraces. Kailey has never runcross country before andshe surprised me runninga 23:09. This could be hersport; I’ve only seen her intrack. Overall, I was veryhappy.”

Reaper Family,Thank you! Thank you to all of you who made it out Friday night to support us in
our game against the Yorkville Foxes in Reaper Stadium.The energy and electricity we experienced from our fans that night allowed for us
to come out victorious. One part of that was the awesome student section we had,which is something I hope we can grow as the season continues. As I watch our gamefilm to review our performance, I cannot help but get excited about how alive oursideline and stands become when we are making good plays.
Besides how we played and how great our fans were, the next exciting thing forme to see is how many of our alumni are coming back in support of their Reapers!When I played for the Miami Hurricanes, one of the things they would always sayabout us is how our alumni come back to impart wisdom to the current players andhelp them prepare themselves for “carrying the torch.” I’m hoping this can be theculture of the Reaper Nation, alumni who want to come back and be a part of theprogram, and our current Reapers’ lives, because they still bleed purple and white.
Our Football Parent Advisory Committee is selling tickets at our home gamesto our first annual Reaper Football Family Reunion, which will include a flag footballtourney and a banquet on Sept. 26 – the Saturday after we honor the 2005 Reapersfor their 10 year-anniversary of their semifinal season.
This Friday we will welcome the South Shore International Prep Tars to ReaperStadium, with Bill Heller as our honorary captain.
With six home games this year, our football program, along with our administra-tors, wanted to find ways to give back to the community. This week we will be offer-ing half-priced tickets ($2 for adult/$1 for child) for anyone who brings a canned fooditem to donate. We will be collecting food donations for the St. Mary’s Mobile FoodPantry that serves many families in Plano and surrounding area. I am excited aboutthis opportunity, and I hope that we can try and duplicate the size of our crowd fromthe Yorkville game!
Friday nights in Reaper Stadium are more fun when the whole town is there!Our JV game starts at 5:30 p.m. this week and will be facing Fenton as South
Shore does not have a sophomore team. The pork chop sandwiches will be cooking– and after a tough week of practice, our Reapers will be ready to go! Hope to seeyou there!

Yorkville did not scoreagain until the fourth quar-ter on Bryce Shewan’s 50-yard run with 10:25 left inthe game. He finished witha game-best 222 yards rush-ing.
“I give our offense a lotof credit – Bryce ran real-ly hard,” Yorkville headcoach Dan McGuire said.“I thought we came out anddid a great job initially inthe first half ... but [Pla-no is] a good team, there’sno doubt about it. I wouldimagine they are going tobe in the playoffs for sure.
“We have a very niceteam. We just need to takecare of the things we cancontrol. We are not a flashyteam ... but we can’t affordto make mistakes. We can’tmake any excuses. We haveto give Plano credit. Theyplayed a great game.”
Yorkville is the biggestschool Plano will play thisseason. The Reapers’ Week2 game is at home againstChicago South Shore Prep,a new opponent on theschedule. South Shore en-ters the game after a 62-0loss to Geneseo on Friday,Aug. 28.
“We did a lot of thingsthis summer to be ready for
a big school like Yorkville,”Plano head coach BradKunz said. “We went to7-on-7’s where there werea lot of [Class] 7A and 8Aschools, and we felt like wehung with them. That confi-dence carried over tonight,and our guys knew if theydid their job and workedhard ... they just playedwith so much heart.
“So many guys werecramping up and couldhave easily asked to betaken out of the game, butthose guys just stayed inand kept fighting for eachother, believing in eachother and caring for eachother.”

It was the touchdown Tommy Brownhad been waiting 12 years for.
Brown, an offensive lineman for thePlano football team, had never scored atouchdown before Friday night’s Week1 game against Yorkville. The 6-foot-2,285-pound senior intercepted the balland returned it for 40 yards in the thirdquarter, when the Reapers scored 22points.
Brown’s touchdown in the closingseconds of the third quarter helped theReapers defeat Yorkville, 28-14, last Fri-day night in nonconference action inPlano.
“I just kept running – I saw nothingbut the goal post,” Brown said. “I justsprinted. It was pretty funny. ... We just
did what we had to do to win the game.”Brown’s action wasn’t the only un-
usual touchdown of the quarter. Just thescore before, a bobbled pass intended forjunior wide receiver Israel Adeoti endedup in the hands of junior offensive line-man Nick Dahlke, who then scored on a1-yard run with 2:29 left in the third.
“Our linemen did so much for us. Iloved it,” Plano junior running back Mi-chael Marshall said. “That third quar-ter was more of a spark than anything.I was right in front of that play [withDahlke]. That had to be the greatestplay in Plano history. I’m so glad ourlinemen are so alert and ready. It was agreat play.”

Jacob Prosek thinks theharmonica has a future inclassrooms.
The recent North CentralCollege graduate from Oswegotraveled to Trossingen, Germa-ny, this summer to research theculture of harmonica music. Inthe small southern German town,Prosek found a harmonica capitalas well as a place that could serveas a model for what he sees as thefuture of teaching music.
“It is a town that has one ofthe highest concentrations ofthe world’s greatest harmonicaplayers,” he said.
During his time in Germany,Prosek heard whole orchestrasmade up entirely of harmonicaplayers and spoke to teacherswho use the instrument exten-sively in teaching. He said he sawa junior high and high schoolharmonica orchestra play popsongs such as Michael Jackson’s“Billy Jean” and the Daft Punksong “Get Lucky.”
“The kids there think it’stotally normal, which is probablythe coolest part,” he said.
The Oswego East graduatealso toured the headquarters ofHohner, the world’s leading man-ufacturer of the instrument. Pro-sek spent a week in Trossingenconducting interviews, observingclasses. He participated in theirteacher training and observedprivate lessons.
He also did some archivalresearch at Heidelberg Universi-ty in Germany and intervieweda German music teacher to getsome perspective on it.
“I was very curious before theresearch – how common is har-monica education in Germanyright now and the answer is notvery,” he said.
It turns out, Prosek said,Trossingen and some surround-ing towns are in the forefront ofusing harmonicas to teach music.
He intends to present hisresearch at North Central Collegeduring fall term and demonstratea variety of harmonicas.
The goal of his research, Pro-sek says, was to find the best wayto teach harmonica and sharethat with teachers in America.He adds that with his research,if teachers want to include theharmonica in their curriculum,they will know the best practicefor doing so.
“We have this opportunity tolearn from all of this experiencethat the teachers in Trossingen
have from decades and decades ofteaching it to their children,” hesaid. “It was a really phenomenalexperience. Everyone was incred-ibly welcoming and incrediblygenerous with their time.”
Prosek received a RichterGrant that paid for most of thetravel expenses. Attached to thetrip was a summer course he tookthrough North Central.
Prosek couldn’t use tradition-al financial aid for the courseso the Dunham Fund, an Auro-ra-based philanthropic organiza-tion, paid his course fee. ApolloMusic Inc. of Aurora covered theresearch he did at HeidelbergUniversity.
He mentioned that he first sawthe idea of using harmonicas inthe classroom after he read an ar-ticle in Teaching Music magazineabout implementing the harmon-
ica into general music. Beforethat, he said it never occurred tohim to use the instrument.
“My hope is to try to give edu-cators the tools they need to cre-ate the best experience possiblefor their students and I feel likeharmonica can be a vital musictool in creating that experience,”he said.
Prosek has a few theories as towhy harmonicas could overtakethe recorder or xylophone as thepreferred instructional instru-ment for teaching music.
“It’s incredibly cheap, it’sincredibly portable and it’s veryeasy to play,” he said. “I can get aclassroom of students learning asong after 10 minutes, which is asuccess rate I cannot get with therecorder, and it sounds great.”
School districts on a tightbudget may especially take notice
of the price. A harmonica thatProsek says he uses costs about$2 compared to $5 for a recorder.
“The savings could be huge,”he said.
Prosek says he can use theharmonica to teach the samethings he can on the more pop-ular recorder like traditionalnotation.
“Any qualified music teachercan teach diatonic harmonicaand that was a sentiment thatwas shared with many of theexperts in Germany,” he said.
One thing the harmonicadoesn’t have going for it is theability for students to learn fin-gering, but everything else aboutthe instrument suggests that itcould be a great learning tool,Prosek says.
He added that the kids lovethe harmonica and that is what
motivated him to continue theresearch.
“It’s very easy to improviseon, it’s very easy to composeon because of the way that theinstrument is designed,” he said.“If you gave a child a bassoon orpiano, it’s hard to improvise orcompose.”
From the listener’s per-spective, harmonicas have anadvantage.
“Some educators would arguethat 30 recorders is not the mostpleasing aesthetic experience andyou don’t have that issue withharmonica,” he said.
The history of the harmonicais something that also intriguedProsek because in early 19thcentury, the harmonica wasactually a popular instrumentin classrooms. In fact, Proseksays the National Bureau of theAdvancement of Music had 70,000children playing harmonicas inschools in 1928 and by 1935 therewere 5,000 harmonica bands inAmerican schools.
“When we entered World WarII, America stopped acceptingGerman imports and the [har-monica] trend came to a halt andall of the bands kind of disman-tled,” he said.
After World War II ended,Americans started buying har-monicas again but they neverregained popularity as an instru-ment for schoolchildren.
Even today, while harmonicasare not prominent in popularmusic, the instrument is therein the background filling out thesound.
“I think with the resurgence ofalternative rock and of Amer-icana folk there has been a lotmore interest in harmonica as ofrecently,” he said. “A lot of timea harmonica will be part of thefabric of a song and we don’t evennotice it.”

Waubonsee Commu-nity College has namedKendall County SheriffDwight Baird its 2015 Dis-tinguished Alumnus.
Baird attended Wau-bonsee after graduatingfrom Oswego High Schoolin 1986, to study criminaljustice.
“I had heard greatthings about Waubonsee,and it was a good fit forme,” Baird said. “I couldwork a couple of jobswhile still getting my ed-ucation.”
When he earned hisassociate degree in 1988,Baird was still too youngto test to become a po-lice officer, and so hecontinued his job in lossprevention at the Mont-gomery K-Mart store un-til he turned 21 and washired on at the KendallCounty Sheriff’s Office bythen-Sheriff Richard Ran-dall, also a Waubonseealumnus.
“The great thing I seein Waubonsee and othercommunity college grad-uates is that they haveoften worked in the realworld and have that lifeexperience,” Baird said.“That experience helpsthem relate to the peopleand situations they’ll bedealing with.”
After working as asheriff’s deputy a fewyears, Baird spent more
than 22 years on the Os-wego Police Department,rising through the ranksto become chief and alsoserving as the interim vil-lage administrator for atime.
As he moved up theranks, Baird sought outadditional education,earning his bachelor’s de-
gree fromA u r o r aU n i v e r s i -ty and hism a s t e r ’ sd e g r e efrom West-ern IllinoisUniversity.T h r o u g h -out theseexperienc-
es, he continued to drawon his time at Waubonsee.
“I would still find my-self reflecting on projectsI did at Waubonsee oreven referencing booksI had used there,” Bairdsaid.
Baird consulted hislong-held career planonce again in 2014 whenhe ran for and was electedKendall County sheriff.
“Kendall County isvery diverse, rangingfrom suburban areas tomore rural townships,”Baird said. “One day wecould be dealing with acow in a roadway andthen the next with a drive-by shooting. It’s a very di-verse area, and the work-load is ever-changing.”

Smile! It Will Make Youand Others Happy!
There is a very interesting psychology experimentwhere you trick people into either smiling orfrowning without their knowing it (by telling them tohold a pencil either in their teeth, to make themsmile, or with their pursed lips, to make themfrown), and while they hold that facial position youtell them a joke. Those who are holding the smileusually rate the joke as being funnier, presumablybecause they are already halfway laughing to startwith. The moral of the experiment, if experimentscan be said to have a moral, is that our bodiesoften take the lead in making us feel happy or sad,or calm or anxious. Droopy, lackadaisical posturewill make you feel defeated while standing up talland strong will make you feel like a winner. Sosmile, even when you don’t feel much like smiling,or perhaps especially when you don’t feel muchlike smiling. And an added benefit to smiling is thatit tends to spread the happiness. Have an attitudeand a countenance that is worth catching.

“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray foreach other so that you may be healed. The prayer of arighteous person is powerful and effective.”—James 5:16
Confess Your Sinsto Each Other
There is something cathartic aboutconfessing our sins. The veryact of telling others about our
misdeeds and shortcomings seems torelieve much of the guilt, and we usuallyget the added benefit of realizing thatwe aren’t alone in our shortcomings.There is a tendency to think we arethe only ones who have this particularweakness, until we start talking aboutit and realize that a lot of our moralfailings are nearly universal. Who hasnever lied or taken something which didnot belong to them? In the Epistle ofJames we are told explicitly to confessour sins to each other, and this comesin the context of some general adviceabout prayer and our duties to oneanother. James assures us that theprayer of the faithful is powerful andsays that we should pray together forthe sick and confess our sins to eachother. Just as good medicine heals thebody, a good confession heals the soul.– Christopher Simon

This summer has beenexceptional for magnoliascale. Master Gardenersat the help desks haveconstantly been address-ing this situation withhomeowners for the pastfive-plus weeks.
A typical life cycle of ascale is an overwinteringfemale producing eggsunder her protective scalecovering. The eggs willhatch into very tiny crawl-ers that may resemblean aphid. These crawlersthen move farther out onthe branch to tender twigsand the leaves, where theyuse their piercing, suckingmouthparts to tap into thetree’s vascular system toget their liquid diet.
Most scales are a botherearlier in the summerand magnolia scale laterin August. This year,calls started coming inmid-June, well ahead ofnormal. Calls were not al-ways about the scale in thebeginning, rather “What isall this black stuff all overeverything?”
As the young scalecrawlers begin to feed onthe plant juices, much ofit passes through theirbodies and onto surfacesbelow. That sticky exudateis a great growth mediafor sooty mold, the blackmaterial covering foliage,lawn ornaments, the grill,sidewalks and driveways,not to mention the carparked under the canopy
on the driveway.Magnolia scale has very
likely been living quietlyand peacefully on the mag-nolia tree for a long time,going unnoticed or creat-ing minimal sooty moldbelow. In order to havesuch a large populationthis year, conditions lastyear were perfect, allowinglarge numbers of femalescales to overwinter toproduce all the crawlersthis year.
While the sooty moldis not desirable on plantsbelow and other belong-ings, it is worse for themagnolia as it can com-pletely cover the uppersides of the foliage, greatlyreducing the plants abilityto produce photosynthates.Additionally, the crawlersare removing the liquidsfrom the plant, as well. Themagnolia will not over-winter as well as it should,may not produce theblooms for next year andeven suffer dieback fromwinter cold weather. Withthese heavy infestations,losing interior foliage andlimbs is a strong possibil-ity.
With the abundanceof crawler scales thereshould also be a strongincrease in the number of
natural predators feed-ing on the crawlers. TheTwice Spotted lady beetleand other lady beetlelarvae stages eat well. Ifpredators are present,control options are limitedto insecticidal soap. Ifmanagement is going to in-clude pesticides, the labelwill need to list the insectto be sprayed. Like otherscale insects, dormant oilsprays are also effective incontrolling overwinteringfemale adult scales.
To help the magnoliaswith the loss of sap, waternow and keep wateringuntil it is time to removethe hose from the housefor the winter.

Italian polenta is aversatile dinner option
By the editors of Relish Magazine
When tomatoes are at their peak, make a deliciousgarden tomato sauce to serve over pasta or polenta(stone-ground cornmeal). Polenta is super easy to
prepare: just bring water and milk to a boil, stir in the corn-meal and whisk like mad, whirling the grains around in the hotliquid until the whole thing thickens and becomes creamy.The sauce works best with peeled tomatoes. Here’s an
easy method: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. With a sharpknife, slice off stem ends of tomatoes and carve an “X” inopposite ends. One at a time, gently place them into boilingwater. Prepare a large bowl of ice water. After a minute or so,you will see the skin around the “X” begin to curl.With a ladle, transfer tomatoes to ice water to stop the
cooking. When tomatoes are cool enough to handle, peelthem while working over a bowl to catch any juices. Placepeeled tomatoes in the bowl and chop coarsely.In this recipe, we used chicken sausage because it’s less
greasy and typically comes precooked, but you can use what-ever sausage or meat you like (meatballs are good too), orprepare the dish with no meat at all. You can make the sauceahead and reheat it just before serving.
Creamy Polenta with Garden Tomato SauceGarden Tomato Sauce ingredients:n 2 tablespoons olive oiln 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced,
about ½ cupn 1 small celery stalk, trimmed and diced,
about ½ cupn 1 medium onion, peeled and choppedn 2 large garlic cloves, dicedn 18 plum tomatoes, peeled and choppedn½ teaspoon dried oreganon½ teaspoon saltn 4 to 8 pre-cooked Italian-style chicken
sausage, cut into chunks (optional)n¼ cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano
cheese
Creamy Polenta ingredients:n 2 cups reduced-fat milkn 2 cups watern¾ teaspoon saltn 1½ cups stoneground cornmealn 2 tablespoons butter
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-highheat. Add carrot, celery, onion and garlic; cook,stirring, 5 minutes.Add tomatoes and any juice from the bowl.
Mash lightly with a wooden spoon. Add oreganoand salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 20minutes, until tomatoes have cooked down andformed a chunky sauce. Add sausage and stir to
combine. Cook 5 to 10 minutes, until sausageis heated through. Add cheese and stir well.Remove from heat and keep warm until readyto serve.To make polenta, combine milk and water in
a large saucepan over medium-high heat andbring to a simmer. Gradually add cornmeal,whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Add butter.Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring al-most constantly, 25 to 30 minutes, until polentais thick. Serve topped with warm sauce andchunks of sausage. Serves 4.
