Newark OKs budget appropriations ordinanceBy MARILYNN THOMPSON [email protected]

The Newark Village Board recently passed its 2016-17 fiscal year appropri-ations ordinance. Darald Nelson pre-sented the ordinance in the amount

of $1,180,700. That figure is down from last year.

Nelson also presented the 2016-17 budget. Current projected revenues to-tal just under $700,000. Expenses are projected to be about $890,000. Sales tax revenue is hard to project and would

impact the revenues.In other business, the board re-

viewed the Law Enforcement Services Agreement for special events. This would apply to the Annual 4th of July Street Dance. The rate will be $65.45 per hour. It was accepted by the board.

Computers for all students

By KATHY [email protected]

Within the next three years, ev-ery Yorkville School District student from third grade through high school will have a Google Chromebook Dell 11 computer under the Personalized Learning 1:1 Initiative approved by the Board of Education in May.

The plan aims to integrate technolo-gy into the district’s curriculum over a three-year period, beginning with two high school summer school classes this summer. The devices will allow stu-dents to work on their own and also communicate with their teachers.

Students enrolled in the two blend-ed (part classroom, part online) sum-mer classes will use some of the 110 devices purchased by the district last year for administering the PARCC standardized tests. There are 32 stu-dents enrolled this summer in each of two blended classes - consumer man-agement and American government.

Another 122 Yorkville High School and Yorkville High School Academy students are enrolled in blended class-es in the fall and 136 signed up for spring blended classes. Classes which will be offered partially online include creative writing, consumer manage-ment, health, government, and Project Lead The Way (engineering).

The committee studying the initia-tive recommended purchasing Google Chromebook devices which don’t need additional software, simply internet access. The district will be able to mon-itor and filter content on the devices.

Each device costs about $110. The district is fully funding the first year of the program, 2016-17, but other options are being considered to pay for the per-sonal computers in the following two years, including sharing the cost with parents or having families fully cover the cost, according to Kelley Gallt, di-rector of teaching and learning.

Over the past five years, the district has improved its network infrastruc-ture and increased bandwidth to han-dle the additional online traffic.

During the 2016-17 school year, staff members will be trained and Google gmail accounts will be set up for all students. A student help desk will be created next spring to provide support to staff and students.

The program will spread to all stu-

dents in blended courses in grades sev-en through nine who will pick up their devices and receive training over the summer of 2017. Elementary students will become part of the program in the 2018-19 school year.

Gallt told the Board of Education that Jim Wolf will be the Teacher On Special Assignment (TOSA) working on this project. In addition, the dis-trict’s technology staff will provide help on the devices and administrators will also be trained to help their staff.

Students will be able to take the de-vices home and, if a device goes miss-ing, the district can lock it. In addition to training teachers on the devices, the district will offer parents and stu-dents training on the use and care of the Chromebook. Parental controls and online safety training will also be provided.

As part of the initiative, the district is developing policies governing both district owned devices and the use of computers owned by students.

According to Michael Duback, assis-tant director of teaching and learning, the district will work with businesses that offer wi-fi internet access in order to help students who don’t have that access in their homes.

The district is also looking at insur-ance options and possibly cases to pro-tect the devices from wear and tear.

Yorkville aims to provide devices within three years

School chief’s contract, administrator salary hikes OK’dBy KATHY FARREN

[email protected]

Yorkville Board of Education mem-bers approved a five-year contract for Superintendent Tim Shimp and one-year contracts for all returning dis-trict administrators Monday night.

Administrator salaries were also set.

Shimp will be paid $178,892 next year with the board to set his salary in each of the following years. He had been paid $175,127 this year, giv-ing him a two percent raise.

In addition, the board will pay his Teacher Re-tirement System contri-bution, 10.375 percent of his salary, as it does for all admin-istrators. His family medical, dental and vision insurance will be paid, as will a $100,000 term life insurance pol-icy, and he will receive a $400 a month travel allowance.

He will receive 20 vacation days and can exchange a maximum of six of them for payment in lieu of using them. Shimp will also receive 12 days of sick leave that can be accumulated to a maximum of 440 days. However, that accumulated sick leave will not

be reimbursed when the contract is terminated. He will also have two per-sonal leave days each year.

Shimp can receive a $10,000 a year increase in salary beginning the year after he receives his doctorate degree.

The contract states “the Superin-tendent and Board confirm and ac-knowledge that the Superintendent has met the goals and indicators of student performance and academic achievement” as required by a previ-ous contract.

It also states that the board would “prefer the Superintendent to live within Community Unit District Num-ber 115,” which Shimp does.

REFLECTIONS

Community festivals have long, entertaining history in this areaThis week, the Oswego area is looking

forward to the 2016 edition of PrairieFest, a continually growing festival of enter-tainment and good food that is eagerly anticipated all year.

Each year’s PrairieFest kicks off the area’s community celebrations, with other towns up and down the Fox Valley all following with their own. Yorkville has their traditional July Fourth celebration and parade, Plano celebrates on Labor Day, Aurora has a bunch of festivals, Ge-neva has Swedish Days, Montgomery has MontgomeryFest, and on and on.

Many years ago, community celebra-tions were smaller, farther between, and were designed for the amusement of im-mediate area residents, unlike many of to-day’s fests, which are marketed statewide. Those long-ago festivities were usually kept pretty short, but the enjoyment was no less intense. In fact, it was probably more intense simply because there were so many fewer forms of entertainment available then.

During my childhood, the big com-munity event in Oswego was the annual carnival, sponsored by the Oswego Busi-ness Men’s Association – the forerunner of today’s chamber of commerce – which set up shop right on South Main Street. The Tilt-A-Whirl, Ferris wheel, and other small rides really gave us a thrill, as did the opportunity to engage in games of chance with unsavory carny workers.

A more wholesome activity was the an-nual school fun fair at Halloween. Today, each school building has their own fun fair, but in the 1950s it was a traditional community Halloween event, sponsored by the PTA –there was only one in those

days – as their main fundraiser. First at the old Red Brick School gym and later at the new high school (later Traughber Ju-nior High and now the District 308 Center) on Franklin Street, we enjoyed Halloween costume contests and had the chance to win wooden canes and other highly-prized do-dads in the ring toss, penny pitch, and other games.

Back in the 1800s, community activi-ties were even scarcer. The annual county fair was the most important local event. In the 1850s, the fair was held at the court-house in Oswego, with displays of produce and other traditional fair fare arranged around the courthouse grounds, accord-ing to accounts in the Kendall County Courier. The first Kendall County Fair and Livestock Show was held at Oswego in 1853, and continued to grow in populari-ty over the years.

After the county seat moved back to Yorkville 1864, a real fairgrounds was acquired on Game Farm Road about where the Beecher Center is located today. Although it continued to be popular, mismanagement raised its ugly head and the fair association was dissolved in 1908, just five years after celebrating its 50th an-niversary. Eventually, the Kendall County Fair was revived, and each year it seems to become more popular.

Of course, our neighbors to the west in Sandwich still produce their annual DeKalb County Fair, one of the oldest and

the best county fairs in Illinois.Besides those annual events, each

community enjoyed their own small cele-brations. Most of these events were put on by local organizations as fundraisers or were the products of itinerant entertain-ers. For instance, in a curious mixture of sponsor and eventual end money use, take this item from the Sept. 30, 1869 Kendall County Record: “The Oswego Union Sew-ing Society’s peach festival of last week was not well attended; the proceeds of it are to go towards buying a hearse, but this generation need not expect the benefits of one unless funds for the same are raised by some other means.” The new hearse was finally purchased in 1871, much to the community’s relief.

Occasionally, two towns would get together for some competitive activities, and from the late 1800s through the first few decades of the 1900s, baseball was ex-tremely popular. The July 31, 1874 Record reported: “Last Saturday afternoon, the boys from Yorkville played a ball game against Oswego. Mr. Geo. Seeley was selected as umpire and the mercury stood at 104 in the shade. At the close of the fifth inning the game was closed with a score of nine for Oswego and 15 for Yorkville; the Yorkville boys having to take the train to get back home. Mr. King, of the Yorkville club, caught a ball handsomely in the right eye, and a little later an Oswego boy got one in his left eye.”

During the 1800s, a number of trav-eling, medicine and other shows, from one man with a dancing bear to an entire circus, visited local communities from time to time. An Oswego reporter noted in 1874 that “a menagerie, consisting of two

men, a bear, and a drum came along the other day and exhibited in the streets; the bear was a good upright walker, would dance, and shake hands with and kiss the ringmaster, carry a pole, wear a hat, roll over, etc.”

One Oswego youth, Will Sutherland, even traveled with a circus in the early 1900s. And in 1923, a circus took a break near Oswego while traveling on modern U.S. Route 34. According to the Record: “Grange Brothers Circus passed Oswego on Route 18 Saturday morning en route from Sandwich to Belvedere. Early risers were surprised to see elephants and cam-els grazing along the roadside or blocking traffic.”

Small towns did have community cel-ebrations back then, most notably on the Fourth of July. According to back issues of the Record, most local Independence Day celebrations had several things in common. There was usually a parade, al-though it was usually called a procession. Oration was the featured event, since that was an era that appreciated the long-wind-ed stump speech, including reading the Declaration of Independence, followed by speeches by the best local, and sometimes imported, orators. Most towns had a local band, and band music and singing were both parts of most years‘ celebrations, as were foot races, baseball games, and cro-quet. I imagine people have found reasons to celebrate one thing or another for as long as there have been people. It seems that only the size and the frequency of our celebrations have changed over the years.

Taxpayers to continue to pick up steep county board tabKendall County Board members took

a pass June 2 on an opportunity to save taxpayers some money and prevent fur-ther abuse of the board’s compensation and benefits package.

In a 7-1 vote, board members re-jected a resolution that would have changed the board’s compensation from a combination of a small base salary supplemented by per diem payments to set salaries of $15,000. Board Chairman John Shaw was the only board member to cast a favorable vote on the resolu-tion.

The resolution also would have done away with the mileage reimbursements board members can claim for in-county travel and required board members to contribute the same amount that the county’s non-union, full-time employees pay for health and dental insurance benefits they can now receive from the county.

Last month County Treasurer Jill Ferko told the board her office has been having a difficult time verifying board member attendance at the board’s many committee meetings each month.

Poor record-keeping by board mem-bers prior to 2014 resulted in county taxpayers overpaying the board more than $47,000 in per diems and mileage reimbursements from 2008 to 2011, ac-cording to the results of a forensic audit. Ultimately, the current and former board members cited in the audit ended up re-paying only a small portion of the funds to the county.

Though we believe the $15,000 annual salary included in the resolution was roughly double what it should be, it nevertheless represented an opportuni-ty – now missed – to reform the board’s compensation and benefits package and, most importantly, save taxpayers some money.

Had the board approved the resolu-tion--with a 50 percent reduction in the proposed $15,000 annual salary – they would have brought the board’s wages more on par with their counterparts who serve on the city councils and village boards in the county, all of whom receive straight salaries for their service.

Replacing the per diems with set salaries would have also served to protect taxpayers by preventing current and future board members from either deliberately or mistakenly claiming per diems for meetings they did not in fact attend. It also would have insulated current and future board members from accusations of abusing the per diem sys-tem. It’s true changing the board’s com-pensation to set salaries would mean all board members--even those who are lax in their meeting attendance – would receive the same pay. But voters would

always have the right to boot those less than ambitious board members off the board the next time they would be up for re-election.

Service on the county board is a part-time job, just as it is for the other members of elected governing boards and city councils in the county who receive far less in compensation.

Those who seek to serve on the county board or any other elected gov-erning board should be motivated first and foremost by a desire to serve their communities, not for financial compen-sation, health and dental insurance and mileage reimbursements to drive to and from work.

By voting to maintain the status quo, the county board assured that they will continue to be compensated like no part-time employees we know of in the private sector and at a significant cost to county taxpayers.

Garden Walk is June 25To the Editor:Many people have been asking me if the

Yorkville Garden Club is going to have a garden walk this year. The answer is yes. Five beautiful gardens will be featured on the walk to be held Saturday, June 25, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., rain or shine. Tickets are only $10 and a portion of the money raised funds scholarships to Ken-dall County students pursuing degrees in horticulture and related fields. Tickets are available at the Yorkville Public Library, Winding Creek Nursery and Caring Hands Thrift Store. For more information, visit yorkvillegardenclub.org.

Serious tax freeze neededTo the Editor:In following up to a couple of recent

letters in the Record Forum, I wish to mention that referring to Mr. DeBolt’s level of compensation at $52,712 a year for consulting work, might be misleading. Based on the article in the June 2 Record, the level of compensation for Mr. DeBolt reportedly will be $88 per hour. While the maximum total compensation is limited to $52,712, this level is for only 599 hours of work. Based on 52 weeks at 40 hours per week and $88 per hour, I believe the effective annual salary rate is actually $183,040 per year.

As for the comments that taxing bodies have to change their spending habits, we passed a referendum in 2012 calling for a 20 percent cut in each taxing district’s levy. While it was a valiant effort, and it made clear to our taxing bodies that the taxpayers want spending to be cut, it was a non-binding referendum.

As for the idea that growth or bringing more businesses into the area will help lessen the burden of property taxes on existing residents, I believe there was such an opportunity back in 2008 when a lot of commercial property came on the tax rolls. I don’t remember my property taxes going down - does anyone else? Indeed, I believe the levy requested by the school district that year, went from $39.5 million to more than $62 million.

I doubt we will see any meaningful relief, until a serious property tax freeze law is passed in Springfield. Perhaps then, the voters will finally have some leverage to curb spending of local taxing districts.

Whether you favor property taxes being frozen, or that schools (the majority of

your property tax bill) be funded in a way other than local property taxes, it’s important to let your representatives in Springfield know your thoughts.

Can more be done?To the Editor:The local agricultural and construction

industries should be commended for their efforts to reduce silt runoff into our creeks and the Fox River. I have been very impressed with the no till, minimal till and grass planting in runoff areas by local agricultural interests. Also the silt fences at construction sites have to help keep runoff out the water ways.

So if you look at the Fox River or Blackberry and Rob Roy creeks or other waterways that are a dark brown from all the silt you might ask: where is it coming from? Is there more our local water and soil conservation agencies can do?

Yorkville parents question grading plan at board meetingBy KATHY FARREN

[email protected]

Fourth and fifth grade report cards may show student progress in two ways next year if a new grading proposal is approved by the Yorkville Board of Education June 27.

That change is one concession from the original plan which has drawn con-cerns from some high school teachers and from parents, two of whom who spoke to the board Monday night.

Currently grades in core subjects (math, language arts, etc.) in kinder-garten to third grade are given as M- meets expectations, N- does not meet, or I- incomplete. That standards-based system lets parents know that their children have either mastered the con-cepts being taught or have not.

Students in fourth and fifth grade have received letter grades. Director of Teaching and Learning Kelley Gallt told the board Monday that admin-istrators now recommend that they continue to receive those grades, in addition to standards-based reporting beginning next year.

She said this would better commu-nicate to parents, other teachers and other schools- should students move- how a child is performing in school. Gallt said this could be a good transi-

tion that could show the percentage of a subject the child has mastered.

She also suggested changing the designation from N, for does not meet expectations, to NYM for not yet met.

If approved later this month, the dis-trict could then look at standard-based grading for middle school students the following year and, eventually, high school students.

Board member Dr. Robert Brenart expressed concern that, if a child mas-tered three-quarters of the work, or 75 percent, that could translate to a lower letter grade than parents would expect.

He called the currently used letter grades inflated. “Right now they don’t correlate to ACT scores or specific skills tests,” Brenart said.

Another board member, Jason Senffner, said he was concerned about how well teachers, particularly new teachers, could define mastery of a concept while they are still receiving training in the district from more expe-rienced teachers. He also said it could take time away from teachers working on other innovations, such as the use of Chromebook computers for person-alized learning.

“I just don’t agree with the time-line,” he said.

Gallt responded that the stan-dards-based grading was approved and

put into use the same year for kinder-garten to third grade. She also said that fourth and fifth grade teachers on the committee studying grading were “very comfortable” with going to the standards-based format.

She stated that teachers would know from a student’s work in the classroom whether they had mastered certain skills or not.

Parent concernsBrittany and David O’Carrol spoke

at the meeting, saying they felt the lack of letter grades would lead students to stop trying.

“You want to increase rigor, but changing to the standards-based sys-tem will lead to mediocrity. Students are not going to strive to do their best,” Brittany O’Carrol said.

She also said she didn’t like the por-tion of the proposed plan that would allow students to retake or rewrite as-sessments. “I think they won’t both-er to turn them in on time. In the real world of college and careers, there ar-en’t those chances,” she continued.

O’Carrol said she was very im-pressed with district teachers, and felt this could place added stress on them. She also noted research that sometimes it’s a sign that a child has problems outside of school when their

grades slip. “Kids can slip through the cracks with an M or N,” she said.

David O’Carrol said he was con-cerned the proposal was “a done deal” and added that, while he applauded the board for thinking outside the box, he didn’t think the change should be ad-opted just because one top district uses the format.

“It hurts kids who have potential,” he said.

“Everyone I spoke to within the community respects everything you do,” he said. “But people trust you to make the right decisions. Some people are blindsided by this.”

Board President Dave Dockstader said the proposal was “not a done deal.” He said he and other board members have spent time in the district office looking for information. “Some things have been modified, a lot of questions asked, there’s been feedback on both sides,” he said.

Superintendent Tim Shimp noted that there has been no discussion of doing away with grades at the middle school or high school level. The new systems was intended to help par-ents understand where their students strengths or weaknesses are, he said.

He added that the district is seeing more push statewide to a competency based system.

Wrigley opens addition to Yorkville factorySHAW MEDIA

Wrigley, a subsidiary of Mars, Inc., opened a state-of-the-art addition to its Yorkville factory on Tuesday. The Yorkville expansion is the result of a $50 million investment by Mars that adds 145,000 square feet, a new Skittles line and 75 new jobs – a 25 percent in-crease in the workforce at the facility.

“Mars has a long-standing history of making our products in the mar-kets where they’re sold,” said Wrig-ley Americas President Casey Keller. “With the expansion of our Skittles production footprint, we are proud to continue that tradition right here in the state that Wrigley has called home for 125 years.”

The Yorkville expansion reflects the unprecedented growth of the Skittles brand. The popular rainbow-colored candy is now the No. 1 non-chocolate confection brand in the United States, fueled by best-in-class marketing, re-tail activity, innovation and passionate fans.

In addition to Skittles, Wrigley’s Yorkville factory produces candy brands such as Life Savers®, Double-mint® and Juicy Fruit®. The compa-

ny’s growth in the state of Illinois was assisted by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, Yorkville Area Chamber of Commerce, City of Yorkville and Kendall County.

“We are grateful for the support of our state and local communities, which

have been instrumental in helping to bring this project to life,” offered Keller. “We’re fortunate to be able to further invest here in Yorkville, and provide the community with continued economic development.”

“Wrigley is an iconic Illinois com-

pany, and we are proud it is continuing to grow in our state,” Governor Bruce Rauner said, adding, “Wrigley has in-vested nearly $200 million in Illinois over the past seven years, creating hundreds of jobs for Illinois residents. The State of Illinois is glad to be a part-ner in Wrigley’s further expansion.”

The new Skittles line in Yorkville is the latest example of Mars’ ongoing commitment to advancing the commu-nities where it operates through eco-nomic investment, job creation and sustainable practices. In the past five years, Mars has invested $1 billion in U.S. factories and operations, creating more than 1,000 jobs.

The global manufacturer’s recent investments in the U.S. include the opening of a new Mars Chocolate fac-tory in Topeka, Kan.; the expansion of a Mars Chocolate factory in Albany, Ga.; the opening of a new Mars Petcare Innovation Center in Thompson’s Sta-tion, Tenn.; and the construction of a new Mars Drinks campus in Westches-ter, N.Y. – among many other upcom-ing projects. In the next two years, the company will invest an additional $900 million in expansion of operations and Associate training and development.

The Kendall County Board unan-imously approved the final scope and project budget for security upgrades at the Kendall County Courthouse and Public Safety Center. Approval came at a special board meeting held June 2.

Shortly before the meeting the board heard a presentation during a special committee-of-the-whole meeting from the Fairfax, Virginia-based architec-tural firm of Dewberry, which recom-mended the upgrades.

“The system you have now is very old and end of life. We did a thorough evaluation of everything when we first came to this project,” Craig Clary, proj-ect manager for Dewberry, told the board. “Our determination is that you definitely need a new system.”

The project as presented by Dew-berry is estimated to cost about $3.17 million and should take about 12 to 18 months to complete. Mike Morland, project manager with Dewberry, said the plan is to bid the project at the end of June, get bids in by the end of July and start the project in September.

The managers’ presentation showed that they will update the analog camera system, intercommunications system,

access control system and PLC-based security control system. Crews will also update cabling in the courthouse and Public Safety Center, and add a redun-dant fiber communication connection between the two buildings. Clary said they also plan to design the system to be expandable in the courthouse to areas that are not now being used.

“All of those intercoms and paging systems are old and very antiquated and also passed their end of life cycle,” Clary said. “Your systems that you have now are failing.”

Morland commented that security systems are designed to last 12 to 15 years and the one that Kendall County is currently using is about 25 years old.

Board member Dan Koukol ques-tioned the $300,000 contingency fund in the project. He asked what that money would be used for.

“That’s a lot of money,” Koukol said.Morland said they hope not to use

the contingency fund but when they get into the building they may find other things they have to fix or replace once they get started.

“It might be for something we weren’t able to see every bit and piece of – those are the types of things,” Mor-land said. “All of the major components are accounted for.”

Sheriff Dwight Baird explained that the project had been planned for a num-ber of years before he became sheriff. He told the board that the project is needed.

“I can tell you with the daily prob-lems that we have in both buildings, it’s much needed. You’re talking ‘92, ‘96, 2005, 2009 technology that is all meld-ed together,” Baird said. “Your hous-es wouldn’t work like that if you had a home computer and a printer from ‘92 and a computer from now.”

He added that the project has been in the budget for two years and the mon-ey has been set aside by the board. The new system should last about 15 years, Baird said.

The jail has about 120 prisoners and is at about 60 percent capacity with an increase of prisoners it has been taking in from DeKalb County.

Board Chairman John Shaw noted the jail is a source of revenue for the sheriff’s office when it boards inmates from law enforcement agencies outside the county.

“Our jail is a revenue stream, which is quite good for our budget to have money coming in,” Shaw said.

Baird mentioned in talking with Dewberry that he doesn’t anticipate any interruption in the jail’s operations

or housing of prisoners while the proj-ect is taking place.

Clary said they would phase in the project so it will not affect the entire fa-cility at once.

23rd Circuit Judge Timothy McCann also made the case for the new infra-structure.

“Every week somebody comes into the office and says, just so you know, we have another panel that went down some place in the building. Not only is it like having a 20-year-old printer but it’s like having a 20-year-old printer that has never been turned off in 20 years – those alarm panels, those locking pan-els have been turned on 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year for 20 years. They are just not made for that, they won’t last.”

McCann also commented on some of the positive effects of the projects. He said once the project is done they expect to have video visitation available for the prisoners. As a result, he said the sheriff will not have to have as many people coming to the jail and he won’t have to use resources and staff to screen them and check for weapons before they enter for an in-person visit.

Currently, pre-trial service officers go into the jail every morning to meet with the inmates before bond call.

TEAM CHEMISTRYYorkville opens summer slate with Sandwich; three named All-Conference

PREP SUMMER BASEBALL

By KRISTIN SHARP [email protected]

A young Yorkville varsity baseball roster was forced to grow up quickly in the varsity spotlight, but the Foxes came together for a 21-win campaign this spring.

Now, coach Scott Luken looks forward to fine-tun-ing the talented youth in summer play.

“We are still young on paper because we had those five sophomores who are now juniors, and a couple juniors that are going to be seniors, and it’s just a mat-ter of getting the right chemistry together and getting those guys playing time,” Luken said. “I really like the athletic group of young men we have. Last year was more of a lack of experience playing varsity base-ball; I don’t think it was a lack of talent. This summer

is more about fine-tuning our skills and getting ready for next year.”

Yorkville opened the six-week summer slate June 7 and split a twinbill against Sandwich, highlighted by Jeffrey Freiberg’s no-hitter. Yorkville played two five-in-ning games against the Indians and won 10-1 over Sandwich. Freiberg allowed no earned runs, no hits and struck out two.

Freiberg got some offen-sive support from Lucas Farren, who batted 2-for-3 with a double and two runs scored, Dru Kotlinski went 2-for-3 with a triple and two RBIs, and Zach Had-dox went 2-for-2 with a triple and an RBI. Yorkville lost Game 2 by a score of 8-3. Alex Engleken hit 1-for-1 with a single, one walk and one run scored. Jonny Behrens went 1-for-1 with a single, a walk, one stolen base and an RBI.

“This summer, we don’t really care about winning or losing, but it’s always nice when your pitchers pitched well,” Luken said. “We scored early for some good support and [Freiberg] had a good outing.”

Yorkville closed the spring season with a 21-14-1 overall record including a 6-6 mark in the Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference, which was good enough for second place behind co-champs Kaneland and Syc-amore, which tied at 7-6. Sycamore went on to win a Class 3A regional and sectional, finishing in the Elite Eight. Sycamore’s Michael Beaudoin was named the conference’s Player of the Year.

Yorkville junior Brendon Reifsteck, sophomore Ty Liaromatis and senior Brady Kauppila were all named to the NIB12 All-Conference team, and sopho-more Mark Sommers was a special mention.

Reifsteck, an infielder, reached base safely in 11 of 12 conference games, and not only led t he team, but the entire conference in offense with a conference bat-ting average of .467 and an on-base percentage of .610.

Liaromatis went 3-0 on the mound with one no-deci-sion as a starting pitcher in four conference starts. He had two complete game wins and finished with an ERA of 0.82 – the lowest of any starting pitcher throughout the entire conference.

Kauppila, an outfielder, didn’t start in the first conference series, but he made the most of his oppor-tunities when he cracked the lineup finishing confer-ence play with a .389 batting average and an on-base percentage of .500.

Sommers finished conference play with a .368 bat-ting average, including two doubles and a home run, and had a .415 on-base percentage.

“All of them did a really nice job in conference play,” Luken said. “Ty had some really good starts and probably should have ended 4-0, but we pulled him in a game and the closer gave up two late runs. Brendon had the best batting average of anyone in the conference. Every time he went to the plate, you knew something good was going to happen. We were going to use Brady out of the bullpen, but we gave him a shot and every opportunity he just took advantage of it.

“Mark made the most of his time in the outfield and settled into that leadoff spot. He’s a guy with some good wheels and stole a lot of bases for us this spring,” Luken added.
