Dinner at local Moose Lodge to aid Relay for Life

Plano will soon lose a bit of its his-tory.

But few people will even know it un-less they might be old enough to remem-ber when the “Q” (Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad) had its steam-pow-ered railroad engines switching cars in the downtown area.

In an overgrown field downtown, there are some concrete bins that will soon be removed along with overgrown trees and tree stumps.

If you were in town during the 1940s or early ’50s, you may remember when the concrete bins were used to store coal for the railroad’s steam engines that have long since been replaced by diesels. Several sets of adjoining rail-road tracks used to service businesses in the downtown area also have been removed over the years, according to Mayor Bob Hausler.

Council members Monday night approved hiring Thom Excavating at a cost of up to $5,000 to remove the con-crete, trees and stumps. The land will

then be cleaned up and resurfaced for parking, Hausler added. He said the city purchased the land last month from the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway.

“We paid BNSF $4,750 plus a $2,000 processing fee that BNSF charges. They originally wanted $15,000 plus the $2,000 fee,” he said.

The property is just off John Street, adjacent to land purchased from the Plano Lumber Co. now used for vehi-cle parking. The additional land will be used to expand the parking lot. The new lot will be about two blocks long and 80 feet wide, he said.

John McGinnis, public works direc-tor, said the existing parking lot at the northwest corner of John and Center streets has 63 spaces. He said they won’t know how many spaces there will be in the new lot until a design has been completed.

“This will give us plenty of parking if we ever get Metra to stop here because the lot is directly south of our depot,” Hausler said. The lot is presently used for overnight Amtrak parking, he add-ed. Expansion of the lot is expected to be completed this year.

The Plano City Council has hired a firm to remove concrete bins that adjoin the railroad tracks in the city’s downtown. The bins were once used to store coal for steam engines that roared through town on the tracks.

Poppy Days to aid veteransThe American Legion Auxiliary Post 395

in Plano will be conducting Poppy Days on May 27, 28 and 29 at local businesses around the city.

The American Legion Auxiliary volun-teers distribute millions of bright red pop-pies in exchange for donations to assist disabled and hospitalized veterans. These veterans make these flowers and earn a small wage which helps to supplement their income. It also provides therapeutic benefits as well. Collected donations are used exclusively to assist and support these veterans and their families.

The poppy reminds the community of

the past sacrifices and continuing needs of our veterans. The poppy has become a nationally known and recognized symbol of sacrifice and is worn to honor the men and women who served and died for their country in all wars.

For more information, call the Plano American Legion Post 395 at 630-552-8313 or Yvonne at 331-216-8428.

A bid was accepted Monday night by Plano City Council members to repair underground leaks in the floor of an area of the city’s wastewater facility.

Darrin Boyer, director of water rec-lamation, told council members that water is seeping into an area through three cracks in the concrete floor. He said if it is not corrected, they could have real problems if there were a power outage, because the room would flood and cause extensive damage to equipment.

He said they needed to have cracks in another area repaired several years ago and after five years, the patching material is still holding.

He said the company injects a polyurethane grout material into the cracks.

Injection and Waterproofing Sys-tems Inc., of Aurora, was hired to do the work for $5,300 on Boyer’s recom-mendation.

Boyer also recommended the coun-cil approve the installation of a new gate at the entrance of the water recla-mation plant. He said the gate has been damaged several times over the years and caused injuries to one employee when he tried to open the gate.

The work will be done by Northern Illinois Fence of Cortland. They were the low bidder with $10,626. The other bid was $12,800.

Council members also accepted a bid from Kendall Council Fence for

$7,490 to install a fence at the Hugh Street parking lot. John McGinnis, public works director, said the firm was the low bidder on the project, which consists of installing 96 feet of fencing at the lot.

The council also approved paying $18,000 for an easement across ComEd property for the Eldamain Road inter-ceptor sewer line. Hausler said ComEd originally wanted $24,000 for the ease-ment but he was able to get the compa-ny’s representative to reduce the fee to $18,000.

“I tried to get it down lower, but $18,000 was as low as they would go,” he said.

The council also approved McGin-nis seeking bids for the Sweetbriar- Edgelawn Drive sewer replacement

project. He said it will consist of install-ing 530 feet of 8-inch sanitary sewer.

Employees honoredThe council honored seven employ-

ees for their combined more than 100 years of service to the city. Each one was presented with a certificate of ap-preciation by Mayor Bob Hausler.

The employees included Police Chief Steve Eaves, 30 years; Police Sergeant Aaron Smith, 20 years; and Police Sergeant Norman Allison, 15 years.

Honored for 10 years of service each were Debra Solecki, records clerk in the police department; Thomas Roma-no, building and grounds; Delvin Noss, water department; and David Limon Jr., street department.

Illinois lawmakers may con-tinue their “Band-Aid approach” to funding state services and ed-ucation until possibly after the November election, according to State Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Peru.

Rezin hosted a roundtable dis-cussion May 2 with State Super-intendent of Education Dr. Tony Smith and local education leaders at the Morris Country Club.

She said in the short-term, Springfield will fund school dis-tricts with bills similar to one passed at the end of April to keep higher education funded. That bill will allow two-year community colleges to open in the fall and kept MAP (Monetary Award Program) grants going to college students for five to six months, Rezin said.

“It’s a Band-Aid approach, but at least colleges know they are going to be open for the fall,” she said.

As for a long-term funding solu-tion that includes a state budget

– that will take some time, accord-ing to Rezin.

“I’m hopeful and optimistic, working groups continue to work behind the scenes to see what works for all four caucuses,” she

said. “At the end of the day if we don’t have a budget, we’ll continue to see bills passed that will ap-propriate enough money to get us through for the next couple of months or probably after No-

vember, which is unfortunate be-cause of the election coming up.”

For the record, Rezin says she doesn’t agree with this approach but that is the reality.

“The votes that we have to take are very difficult moving forward, these are not easy votes for anyone in Springfield, period,” she said. “That’s why you may see some pressure by some members to wait until after the election. I don’t agree with that.”

Rezin stressed that Gov. Bruce

Rauner wants any long-term ed-ucation funding components to come with additional new reve-nue.

“Otherwise you have winners and you have losers,” Rezin said. “If you pull out and just talk about a property tax freeze by itself – be-cause our school funding is so reli-ant on property taxes in our area, it’s important to know that hope-fully new funding will come in for education that will decrease the reliance on property taxes.”

She added that the short-term plan is to simply fully fund educa-tion and give the schools what they should receive through next fall.

“That will allow superinten-dents to plan for next fall,” she said.

The long-term solution will in-volve changing the state’s complex school funding formula, according to Rezin.

“When you change a multiplier in a funding formula, it may sound good, but it can adversely affect certain school districts and you may not know it,” she said.

FORUMOUR VIEW LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

We’ve noticed over the last few weeks area state lawmakers – both Republicans and Democrats – have been hosting seminars to explain the state’s property assessment and tax bills system to their constituents.

We commend the lawmakers for hosting the informational sessions. Anything to improve the public’s understanding of Illinois’ confusing and often arcane method of taxing real estate has to be a positive. We are still baffled as to why a general explana-tion of the state’s property tax system is not part of the civics curriculum in the state’s public high schools.

In announcing her May 19 seminar, State Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, D-Oswe-go, noted the area’s high property tax burden needs to be addressed “locally and legislatively.” She added, “My free seminar will give homeowners the information they need to appeal their property tax bill and possibly save money.”

We would caution area residents, however, that it is months too late

for them to appeal the property tax bill they may have just received or soon will receive in the mail. State law does not provide a mechanism for property owners to appeal their tax bills. Instead, it gives property owners the ability to appeal the assessment on which their property tax bills are based.

Here in Kendall County, the county supervisor of assessment’s office usu-ally notifies property owners by mail if their assessments have changed in the late summer or early fall. State law requires that all properties – with the exclusion of farm parcels – be assessed at one-third their fair market value, averaged over the previous three years.

Property owners who believe their new assessments are in excess of that one-third value have a 30-day window after they receive their change notices to file an appeal with the county supervisor of assessment’s office. The county board of tax review considers the appeals during public hearings,

usually held in the winter. Those property owners who file appeals and gain the board of review’s approval for an assessment reduction are then in a position to realize some savings on their next property tax bills.

Current state politicians beginning with the Gov. Bruce Rauner all down the line are in favor of a property tax freeze, just like their predecessors decades ago. Who doesn’t want to pay less in property taxes? But the prob-lem the politicians have always faced is that if they were to freeze property taxes without significantly increasing funding for education from another source – such as the income tax – local school systems would soon go broke.

The ill effects of a property tax freeze without a corresponding in-crease in taxes from another source would be especially deleterious on school districts in growth communi-ties like Oswego/Montgomery and Yorkville where enrollments and thereby operational expenses continue to climb.

Freeze taxes? Why it’s not so simple Cancer in this country, tooTo the Editor:Some people have asked why I

haven’t written. Simply put, we have cancer in our household and a recent scan showed it spreading. We have become distracted. There is cancer in this country as well. It’s the cancer of apathy, confusion and abusive power. And like cancer in a body, it started so small we can be unaware until sudden-ly it is out of control.

There are some courageous law-makers trying to get a treatment plan passed before it’s too late. The treatment plan is based on our own Constitution. No one talks about that anymore because we’re confused as to its relevancy to our day-to-day lives. But we need a Constitution “infusion.” Our founders left a state of persecution where they were marginalized, jailed, fined and taxed. They did not “found” a Christian nation; however, they found-ed one based on Christian principles. Even non-Christians thrived here.

It is human nature to look back on a time in the past and decide that was the ideal era.

Politically, folks on the right side of the political spectrum look back fondly on the Reagan era of the 1980s as an ideal, while those on the left are enamored of the New Deal 1930s. Most of us look back on our childhood years as some sort of ideal, which is not at all surprising.

As kids, our parents (for the most part) took care of us, made sure we were housed and fed and had clothes to wear. We played with our friends and didn’t have all those pesky adult worries that seem to occupy our minds as we cope with making ends meet.

Back in the 1960s and early ‘70s when my generation were young adults, young people looked back with fondness on our parents’ and grand-parents’ eras when people lived close to the soil and experienced “natu-ral” lives. If only, we heard from the back-to-nature crowd, all that nasty machinery and all those harmful fertilizers, insecticides and herbicides were eliminated, everyone would be healthier and happier. It would be thrilling to return to the days when everyone ate health food and no one suffered from a lack of roughage in their diets.

And while living in a chemical-free world sounded pretty good then – and now, actually – if those youngsters had bothered to study rural American history, they would have learned that life back in pre-machinery, pre-farm chemical times was not all that good or healthy.

Compared to today’s agricultural operations, relatively little food was actually produced on those early farms, and since paved roads real-ly didn’t exist in most areas of the

country until the 1920s, it was difficult to get what was produced to market. In addition, life itself was dear. On a regular basis, terrible diseases swept through rural communities, killing whole families in those pre-antibiotic days when a splinter in a finger could prove fatal.

Back in the “Good Old Days,” people preserved fruit, vegetables and meat all summer because they’d starve all winter if they didn’t. People didn’t live the way they did a century ago because they liked it; they did it because it was the most modern way of life in the world – just as our cur-rent way of life is.

Kenyon T. Palmer, who grew up in and around Oswego during the early years of the 20th century, recalled later in life that he was happy to have had the experiences, but didn’t think the Good Old Days were all they were cracked up to be. In 1971, he published his autobiography, “For Land’s Sake: The Autobiography of a Dynamic Arizonan,” in which he detailed small town and country life during that era.

During the summer, Palmer worked on Roy Hettrick’s Oswego Township farm, shocking oats, hoeing weeds out of the corn, putting up hay,

and all the other hard work farmers did back then, most of which is now done by machines. Palmer worked from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and was not im-pressed with his closeness to nature.

“I was so slow one summer,” Palm-er wrote, “that I painfully remember I was still shocking the 100 acres of oats that had been cut and tied into bundles long after Roy had joined the threshing ‘ring’ and was helping his neighbors thresh. It was a hot, lonely job.”

He recalled that a strapping 16-year-old Aurora youth (Palmer was only 14) hired lasted just half a morn-ing shocking oats before quitting.

Palmer didn’t like hoeing thistles out of the corn, either. Today, farmers, apply herbicides along with fertilizer when they plant, so you rarely see a thistle in a field. But in Palmer’s day, it was either hoe the thistles out by hand or be fined by the township weed commissioner.

Palmer recalled that working in 10-foot-high rows of corn was, at best, unpleasant: ‘“If it was hot in the open hay field, it was hotter and more hu-mid surrounded by the verdant corn. That was what farming meant to me. Blazing sun, hard physical labor, long

hours, and low pay.”After deciding that farming was not

his cup of tea, Palmer went to work at W.J. Morse’s store on Main Street in Oswego. Groceries were the biggest sellers at Morse’s, but the store’s reg-ular stock included boots and shoes, women’s wear, rock salt by the barrel, kerosene for lamp fuel, and gasoline for both stoves and the growing num-ber of automobiles. Gasoline, stored in barrels, was pumped by hand into five-gallon cans and carried the full length of the store to be poured into waiting autos parked out front.

The hardest jobs, Palmer recalled, were carrying 100-pound sacks of potatoes up the cellar steps, handling 100-pound sacks of sugar, and man-handling barrels of salt.

“Nobody bought less than a dollar’s worth of sugar – 12 to 16 pounds according to the market – and many bought by the 100 pound sack,” Palmer wrote. “Nor did anyone buy less than a bushel of potatoes. Bread we bought at our house by the half-dozen loaves.”

A typical workday at Morse’s store was 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. on Saturdays when farmers came to town to trade. Palmer was paid $7 to start for a six-day week. After a year and a half on the job, he was making $11 a week.

For most, the Good Old Days are a time we can’t remember very well, but which seems better than what’s currently happening. I remember the 1950s as a great time to grow up in my small, Midwestern town, but I was spared the racism, political extrem-ism, and religious bigotry that so many had to cope with during those years.

And those “back-to-nature” folks? Most of them are now retired stock-brokers, lawyers, teachers, or other professionals. Reinstalling past values and practices over top of modern life is never as easy as it might seem.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Mutual respect was the treatment of the day. Rights of conscience were crit-ical to survival, but other “rights” came down the pike: freedoms we cherish as our currently-under-attack Bill of Rights.

There isn’t much talk about these doc-uments because too many people want their own personal agendas advanced. Everyone wants to benefit the ultimate “me,” instead of us. Blood was shed to advance our separation from persecu-tion. It was shed to secure these docu-ments and what they embodied. How can we ignore this? Today, we aren’t united about much of anything. We marginalize groups of people because they disagree with a politically rabid group busy con-structing its own set of laws for the rest of us to follow. They’ve built a machine more interested in their agenda than the thriving of our general population. Intolerance began small yet has grown like cancer into an out-of-control state. Anyone disagreeing is called phobic. This cancer has been responsible for jailing, fining and penalizing those who dissent. Don’t count on the media to accurately portray these happenings.

It isn’t just about one political party or another either. Like a cancer that grows out of control, this is an ideology, a politically-correct world that will topple US shortly. It demands its own way and tolerates nothing else. It will not tolerate your “conscience” or your beliefs. It allows for no rights unless they are their rights, because their rights are the “only way.” This forced acceptance is the purest form of intolerance, something that would have enraged our founders. It stands against the Constitution. This should enrage us. We can tolerate with-out acceptance of a particular view.

As we approach elections, listen care-fully to arguments given. For instance, a socialist can’t believe in the validity of our current Constitution. Too much liberty involved. Make yourself aware of a candidate’s Constitutional position. We have a few Patrick Henrys in Congress willing to put their own necks on the line. They are conservatives by nature. We need more of them because liberals have advanced us into end-stage cancer with little chance of healing. I don’t want to be there.

The perfect stormTo the Editor:With the continuing fiscal mess in

Illinois it has become obvious that the

media and the Dems want the state to continue on its path to bankruptcy. They call for Rauner to be the bigger man and give in to Madigan. It’s the Madigan agenda that got the state into the mess it’s in today.

As usual there is the call for more taxes in the form of raising the income tax or going to a graduated income tax where the rich would pay a higher rate or raising the gas tax etc., etc., etc. Instead of the media calling on Rauner to cave to Madigan’s wishes, why aren’t they after Madigan to explain where all the money magically disappeared when the state had a higher income tax under Quinn?

Perhaps they could ask Madigan why the state taxpayers have one of the highest tax burdens in the country and yet has the worst credit rating of any state and the top pension deficit? Then they could ask why, when Quinn said he wasn’t going to pay them until there was a balanced budget, they went running to the Supreme Court to get that action declared unconstitutional and yet when Rauner got elected they passed a budget that was $4 billion short with no regard for the balanced budget requirement in the constitution. Then of course it was Rauner’s fault for not coming up with the money to pay for it.

Illinois, just like many other states, has a pension problem. In Illinois the problem is pensions are so bloated there is no way out but bankruptcy. The thousands of retired public employees getting six-figure pension payments is simply not sustainable. The Dems and their lust for more taxes as the answer to everything are speaking to a smaller and smaller tax base. Illinois had the highest outflow of taxpayers in the country according to the latest stats and Cook County last year led the country in loss of taxpayers at the county level.

It’s the perfect storm, just like Detroit, fewer and fewer taxpayers paying higher and higher taxes until they either get sick of it or simply can’t afford it and move out. Add to this all the businesses that have left or are looking at leaving or not growing because of the tax burden and all Madigan can come up with for the solving the problem is more taxes.

If Madigan wants more taxes, why doesn’t he produce a balanced budget that includes all his new taxes. He has a super majority in the House and Senate so he could pass anything he wants. Then he can watch as the exodus from Illinois becomes a stampede.

Sneeze,Wheeze & Itch.Is it an Allergy?“Congratulations! You have been

selected as one of 10 students to attend the first-ever Alternative Spring Break (ASB) trip at Waubonsee!” In the weeks since I had applied to be part of the first group of student volunteers from Waubonsee Commu-nity College to spend our spring break volunteering in Tennessee, this was the message I had been waiting to see.

For the next few months, I attend-ed weekly meetings with nine other students as we organized, planned and fundraised for the weeklong trip, where we would spend our spring break helping to clear a section of the Cumberland Trail, a 300-mile trail stretching from the Cumberland Gap National Park in Kentucky toward the Chickamauga Chattanooga National Military Park, just outside of Chatta-nooga, Tennessee. We would be part of a volunteer corps of college students from across the country who are work-ing to complete the trail within the next four years.

I woke up bright and early on March 13 for the long day ahead. Be-fore I knew it, we were at the airport, checking our bags, entering security and boarding our plane. During the flight alone, I made lifelong friends. A bond that only strengthened through-out the week.

After landing safely in Nashville, we packed the rental van in a manner that was like a real-life game of Tetris, and embarked on a three-hour trip through mountains to Fort Bluff Camp in Dayton, Tennessee. The rest of the day flew by as everyone explored the area and waited for other schools to arrive so we could receive our orienta-tion and head to bed, waiting eagerly for the next day.

The following dawn started our daily routine of work on the trail. We grabbed our tools and gear, and hiked for about 20 minutes down to a section of the Cumberland Trail. Once there, we all set to work, plowing the

duff (topsoil), clipping roots, chopping stumps and removing rocks. By build-ing an extension of the Cumberland Trail, we were providing a path for people in the future to hike, bike and explore the surrounding beauty.

The rest of the week followed a similar routine, with additional presentations and activities. Over lunch periods there were educational presentations about historical events in Dayton and the species found on the trail.

In the evenings, we had sessions on the essentials for survival, the history behind the Cumberland Trail, and predatory birds like the owl, vulture and the American bald eagle. We spent time sitting around bonfires, playing games and reflecting on our journey throughout the week. On our last eve-ning, we even learned how to square dance.

Over the course of the trip, I gained a new understanding of the joy that can be found in hard work and team-work. Each day, I was pumped with energy and enthusiasm, ready to ful-fill my duty as a volunteer. No matter what obstacle presented itself on the trail, I set myself to the challenge with determination.

I actually found myself singing while I worked and encouraging everyone with words of praise and gratitude. The lesson that teamwork is essential to successfully finish major tasks is a reward in itself. My ASB ex-perience was truly wonderful and I am excited to incorporate lessons learned into my daily life.

PLANO RECORD

The American Legion Riders Post 181, along with the Kenyon family, will host the second annual Charlee’s An-gel Run on June 12 in Sandwich.

The proceeds from this fundraiser again will benefit the U.S. Cuddle Cot Campaign Initiative. This year, the recipient hospitals are Kishwaukee Hospital in DeKalb and Illinois Valley Community Hospital in Peru.

Cuddle cots are cooling beds that can be placed in the hospital room of a parent who has lost a child to stillbirth or other birth complications early on in life. This device allows parents and families the time to grieve their baby with dignity.

Last year, Charlee’s Angel Run raised more than $10,000. Funds were used to purchase cuddle cots for Valley West Hospital in Sandwich, Rush-Cop-ley Hospital in Aurora and Morris Hos-pital. The race was attended by more

than 150 people and many businesses in Sandwich, DeKalb and surrounding communities donated to the silent auc-tion.

The Kenyon family started this event in 2015 in memory of their daughter, Charlee Jean Kenyon, who was born still on April 22, 2014.

This year’s race will begin at 8 a.m. June 12 at the Sandwich Park District. In conjunction with the race, there will be a raffle of items donated by local businesses with raffle tickets costing $1. Additionally, there will be a massage therapist providing sports massage for a donation, as well as face painting for the children.

At the conclusion of the event, there will be a butterfly release in memory of Charlee and all babies gone too soon.

Online pre-registration is available through May 27. The 5K fee is $25 and the One Mile Fun Run fee is $15. All who pre-register will receive a T-shirt. Sign up online at www.signmeup.com/site/online-event-registration/113012. Prices increase by $5 after May 27.

To make a donation, send mail to Brown Miller Post 181 American Le-gion Riders, Attn: Ralph Torres‐Char-lee Angel Run, P.O. Box 21, Sandwich, IL 60548.

Kendall County property owners should find their annual property tax bills in the mail this week, according to Jill Ferko, county treasurer.

Ferko said Monday her office mailed the bills May 6. The bills will be due in two installment payments, June 7 and Sept. 7.

Taxpayers can pay their bills online by going to illinoisepay.com, which charges a convenience fee for this ser-vice. Ferko says residents can also contact her office to sign up to have the two payments directly withdrawn from their bank accounts on the due dates. There is no cost for that option.

Residents can also stop by the Trea-surer’s Office to pay their bills. The treasurer’s office is located on the first floor of the County Office building 111 W. Fox St. in Yorkville.

A majority of county taxpayers now pay their taxes through escrow accounts their banks set up with their monthly mortgage payments. Those es-crowing their tax payments will still re-ceive a bill in the mail that they should review.

Ferko estimates that about 52,000 bills were sent out in Kendall County. Of those bills, the majority of property owners will see an increase due in part to rising property assessments. Assess-ments are based on a three-year aver-age. This year’s property assessments are based on data collected by assessors in 2012, 2013 and 2014.

Under state law, all properties with the exception of farmland must be as-sessed at one-third their fair market value. Assessments across the county have been trending upward in recent years after bottoming out in the wake of the 2008 recession.

To determine how much is owed on

each tax bill, county officials multiply the total tax rate of the appropriate local government agencies by the assessed value of each property, minus any ex-emptions. Tax bills will show an in-crease if the assessed value of the prop-erty has increased and the local tax rate either stays the same or also increases.

Referring to this year’s tax bills, Ferko said, “For the most part I think that, yes, you will probably see your bill go up a little bit.”

However, the size of the increase will vary, depending upon the location of the property in the county.

A typical household in the city of Plano saw their total tax rate decrease from 15.15 percent to 14.25 percent, while a village of Montgomery property owner in Yorkville School District 115 saw a total tax rate increase from 12.05 percent to 12.11 percent. In the city of Yorkville, the typical household saw an increase in their tax rate from 11.6 in 2014 to 11.7 percent in 2015, while in the village of Oswego there was a decrease in the total rate from 11.56 percent to 10.91 percent, according to information provided by the Kendall County Office of Assessments.

Overall, tax rates were mostly like-ly the highest in the north and eastern incorporated areas of Kendall County while they tended to be lower in the southern and western potions of unin-corporated Kendall County, according to Kendall County supervisor of assess-ments Andy Nicoletti.

While people can’t appeal their new tax bills, Nicoletti says, they can be-come more involved in the process of determining those bills by attending public meetings and letting their voices be heard.

“When 67 percent of your bill is go-ing to the schools, that’s really where you need to start addressing things,” he said.

Tax bills continuing to creep upward for most

U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Miclo Ramirez had a hero’s welcome on Saturday, May 7, with a motorcade through his hometown of Oswego and then on to Yorkville. Ramirez, a recipient of the Meritorious Mast Award, has served in Kuwait. He also received a letter of acknowl-edgement from President Barack Obama.

Ramirez has served with the Marines since 2013, is a graduate of Oswego High School and

was a member of the Oswego Explorer pro-gram for six years.

The motorcade began in Oswego and trav-eled to the Yorkville American Legion by way of Route 34 with the help of the Oswego Police Department, the Yorkville Police Department, and the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office.

The welcome home motorcade was set up by Adopt a Soldier, a nonprofit organization whose mission statement is supporting troops and veterans.

Hayden Davis of Bethesda, Maryland, lays a rose on the grave of her great-great-great-grandfather, Robert Ridley Smith, in the Os-wego Township Cemetery on Saturday. For the first time ever, the graves of several African-American Civil War veterans buried in the cemetery are now marked with official markers. Dozens of descendants of Smith from all over the country attended the ceremony dedicating new grave markers for Civil War veterans.

The graves of 22 Union soldiers from the Civil War – including three African-American soldiers – now have headstones in the Oswego Township cemetery, thanks to the efforts of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) and Stephanie Todd, an Oswego resident and historical researcher.

This past Saturday, members of the SUVCW hosted a ceremony in the cemetery on South Main Street in Oswego to dedicate the new markers.

Among the many people in atten-dance were dozens of descendants of one of the African-American soldiers, Robert Ridley Smith. Members of Smith’s family traveled from all over the country to attend the event.

PREP ROUNDUP

PLANO RECORD

The Plano girls soccer team end-ed the season with a 5-0 loss to Still-man Valley in Tuesday’s Class 1A Hinckley-Big Rock Regional game.

Stillman Valley scored within the opening minute of play, but the Reapers stepped up to hold the Red Devils to take a 1-0 game into half-time. Stillman Valley scored four more in the second half. Camryn Rydzewski finished with 18 saves in goal for Plano.

“The girls went down a goal with-in the first minute of the game. It was an eye opener and a tough way to start the game, however, they re-sponded very well to it,” Plano coach Valerie Pelizza said. “We had a few opportunities, but unfortunately could not find the back of the net.”

Plano graduates two seniors from the program with 18 juniors returning next season.

“We could play with this team tonight. The girls felt it, but after [Stillman Valley] scored their sec-ond goal they were lacking the con-fidence that they had throughout the rest of the game,” Pelizza said. “It is sad to see the season come to an end.”

BASEBALLThe Plano baseball team fell to

9-16 after a Friday afternoon loss to Reed-Custer.

The Reapers staked a 3-0 lead in the opening inning, but Reed-Custer scored twice in the second and took a 4-3 lead in the third before con-tinuing with a big six-run fourth to break the game open.

Plano also fell to Herscher, 22-0, last Thursday. The Reapers will now look to snap their seven-game skid as play continues against West-mont, Spring Valley Hall and Wilm-ington this week.

When the dust settled, the difference between an Interstate Eight Confer-ence championship and the runner-up was four points.

Fortunately for the Plano boys’ track and field team, the edge went to the Reapers in a 117-113 win over Sand-wich last Thursday in Seneca. The host Irish were third with 95 points.

“It really shows how strong the pro-grams at both Sandwich and Plano are. Leading up to the conference meet, I calculated it out and thought it would be between Sandwich and us,” Plano coach Rob Wegley said. “We knew if we ran the race we could run in the 4x4, we didn’t need to win it, but we had to come in the first three places. Luckily,

the boys went out there and done what they’ve done all season and just per-formed.”

Plano finished with a pair of confer-ence championship relays and a stand-out performance in the field events. Jeremiah Murff won the triple jump with a mark of 40-2½ and Christian Es-trada cleared 6-2 to win the high jump. Tommy Brown took a first-place finish in the shot put with a distance 51-10.

“They’re peaking at the right time,” Wegley said. “Tommy PR’d in shot put by a good foot, Christian has been fighting to get over the 6-foot mark and Murff has been winning triple jump almost every meet we’ve gone to so it only took him three jumps to win.”

The top three finishers earned All-Conference honors. Mauricio Pe-rez was second in the 100-meter dash

(11.30) and Izzy Adeoti was second in the 200 (22.92) while Murff was third (22.94). Michael Marshall took third in the 400 (51.39).

The boys will have one final meet with the Sandwich Invite on Saturday

before preparing for the Class 2A Men-dota Sectional on May 20.

Meanwhile, the girls scored 50 points at the conference meet, high-lighted by a conference championship 4x100-meter relay. Brielle Tucker, Lindsay Hoalt, Alyssa Dolan and Daisy Mendoza clocked in at 51.84 seconds. Tucker was third in the 100 (13.44) and Allison Smith was third in the high jump, clearing 4-8.

“It’s tough when we only have about 12 girls on our roster, but I feel like we did have some really good things hap-pen,” Wegley said. “The 4x1 ran in the 51s for the first time this year. Brielle has been putting in the work all year and it’s really paying dividends.”

The girls will compete in the Class 2A LaSalle-Peru Sectional on Thurs-day for a chance at the state meet.

The Plano softball team snapped a four-game losing streak with the 14-1 victory over Rochelle on May 4. The Reapers were 7-16 overall and 1-12 in the Interstate Eight Conference going into games this week against West-mont, Spring Valley Hall, Wilmington and Princeton.

Against the Hubs, Belle Salas and Josi Gonzalez had three hits, and both Shannon Tierney and Anna Love hit

a double for Plano. Tierney was the winning pitcher.

“This was a good win for the girls,” Plano coach Dwayne Love said. “They played hard and they showed what they could do.”

In the 11-8 loss to Seneca on May 3, Plano had 10 hits but made eight er-rors. The Reapers were led by Salas and Anna Love, who posted two RBIs each. Love, Gonzalez and Ashley Mar-tinez each had two hits.

“We hit well, but left four on base. Once again, we fell a little short,” Dwayne Love said. “We were riddled by errors, and that was the difference in the game.”

In the 9-0 loss to Herscher last Thursday, Anna Love had two of Pla-no’s three hits. Tigers’ pitcher Morgan Scivally finished with 14 strikeouts.

“Herscher is a good team, there’s no doubt about that,” Dwayne Love said. “They are for real. They are that good. They have good players, and their pitcher really limited us.”

In the 8-2 loss to Reed-Custer on Fri-day, the Reapers finished with three hits, including Tierney’s first-ever home run. The two other hits were from Kassi Kauffman and Anna Love.

“[Tierney’s home run] was a big moment for her,” Dwayne Love said. “It was a big hit way over the fence, but we played them tough. We are just one or two hits away in games like this.”

Monday’s game at Westmont was postponed due to the weather. The Reapers were winning 5-4 in the fourth inning at the time the game was called.
