The Oswego Light Festival will feature a laser light show as presented by Prime Laser Systems from Blue Bell, Penn. The free event will begin at 5 p.m. Jan. 21 in the village’s downtown area.

First Oswego Light Festival hopes to attract big crowd By JOHN ETHEREDGE jetheredge@shawmedia.com Like the sound from a vintage neon sign, there is a steady buzz building about the first-ever Oswego Light Festival. Tia Brooks, event coordinator for the village, confirmed she has heard comments and seen numerous posts on social media in recent weeks from area residents looking forward to attending the free festival set for the evening of Jan. 21, in the village’s downtown. “The event is geared toward younger people and families, but we’re getting

[positive] feedback from people who are looking forward to it,” she said. “We want people of all ages to come downtown and enjoy the atmosphere.” The festival will be staged on Main Street between Washington (Route 34) and Jackson streets from 5 to 9 p.m. and will feature a professional laser light show presented by Prime Laser Systems from Blue Bell, Pennsylvania. Brooks acknowledged that January is not an optimum time for an outdoor community festival, but said the light show will go on no matter the weather. “So let’s hope for some good weather,” she said.

According to the event’s website, Prime Laser Systems’ light show will “illuminate and transform downtown Oswego into a magical playground.” The website describes the festival as an “interactive artistic collaboration of our community where residents will be treated to dream-like spectacle of art, music, theater and light.” In addition to the laser light show, the fest will feature a 10-foot LED robot, music provided by a DJ and food available for purchase from popular local vendors.

Born: March 2, 1948; in Manhattan, IL Died: December 28, 2016; in Naperville, IL Mariann M. (nee Gustafson) Manthei, 68, passed away on December 28, 2016 at Edward Hospital in Naperville, Illinois. She was born on March 2, 1948 in Manhattan, Illinois to Ruth (nee Barlow) and Wallace Gustafson. Mariann was married to Howard Manthei on September 1, 1968 and both enjoyed each other for 48 years of marriage. Mariann leaves behind her husband, Howard C. Manthei of Yorkville; two children, Andrew C. Manthei and wife Vicki of Aurora and Aaron G. Manthei of Yorkville; and grandchildren, Richard Manthei, Sarah Manthei, and Emily Manthei. She is also survived by her siblings, Rebecca (Gary) Schulze, Bruce (Julie) Gustafson, Rodney (Kay) Gustafson, and Brian (Susan) Gustafson. A private family service was held at the Forsythe Gould Funeral Home in Manhattan, IL on Monday, January 2, 2016 at 12:00pm noon. Family Visitation was from 11:00 A.M. until the time of service. Interment is at Manhattan Center Cemetery. A celebration of life memorial service will be held at The

Chapel on the Green in Yorkville, Illinois (107 W. Center St.) in the spring which was Mariann’s favorite time of year. Mariann was diagnosed with kidney failure in 1988 at age 38, and chose peritoneal dialysis for her treatment. She continued to work at the Illinois State Department of Unemployment Security in Aurora, Illinois for several years. She always put her family members first in her life, and was active in many groups and activities including quilting, serving as president of the Yorkville Friends of the Library, and on the Board of the Chapel on the Green in Yorkville. Inspired by her mother she developed an avid interest in gardening, and after a trip to England she converted her Yorkville yard into an English garden design and found delight in watching the plants come to life each Spring. She enrolled in the Kendall County Master Gardener program but was unable to complete the certification due to her illness. She found comfort in watching her sons and grandchildren mature and continue her interests in gardening and camping. Her doctors and family members marveled how she persevered over the years. It is hoped that she will be an inspiration to others. Donations in Mariann’s memory can be made to the Chapel on the Green, 107 W. Center Street, Yorkville, IL 60560.

• LIGHT SHOW

Continued from page 1 Brooks said the LED robot will come to the village courtesy of a Illumination Nation, a Toronto, Canada based-firm that, according to its Facebook page, specializes in “10 foot tall L.E.D. Robots, Fembots, L.E.D hoopers, LED Drummers, DJ’s and everything ILL.” Several downtown stores have agreed to participate in the fest by decorating their windows, and some will stay open during the fest. Brooks said she was inspired to suggest the light festival after noting similar – although larger – festivals have proven popular in major cities like New York and London in recent years. “Now Oswego certainly isn’t anywhere as large as those cities, but I was wondering why can’t Oswego have a light festival of its own?” she said. Brooks said the Light Festival, like other festivals held during the warmer months of the year, is all part of a continuing effort to make the village a unique destination. “I think people who may be thinking we are just a small town will be surprised that we have a lot of great cultural activities, especially in our downtown area,” she said. Brooks said she and other village officials are hopeful of “growing the event” in the future by adding more elements and more performers.

“I think people who may be thinking we are just a small town will be surprised that we have a lot of great cultural activities, especially in our downtown area.” Tia Brooks Oswego event coordinator The budget for the show is “at the low end” of $7,500, Brooks said. To cover that expense, she said the village will use contributions from local business sponsors and funds from its cultural arts commission budget. She added that revenue from the commission’s budget comes from the proceeds of other cultural events throughout the year. Brooks noted that she is continuing to look for additional entertainers and sponsors for the fest. “We are looking for artists and performers who work with light to participate,” she said. “It is free to get involved and a great way to show off your work or community group.” The sponsors will help the village offset the cost for the event while allowing them to provide still more performers and interactive activities, Brooks said. Interested artists, performers and sponsors can contact Brooks at tbrooks@oswegoil.org for more information.

SHAW MEDIA U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, was elevated to vice-chairman of the Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Securities and Investment on the House Financial Services Committee for the 115th Congress. The influential subcommittee has jurisdiction over capital markets, capital formation, venture capital, market structure and securities, including the Securities and Exchange Commission. “There has never been a more important time for our work on the Financial Services Committee. It is time to unleash the power of small businesses to access the capital they need to hire and expand, to free families to invest for the future, to support farmers planning for uncertainty, to help students and their families planning for college, and to restore the ability of community banks and credit unions to adequate-

ly provide services to the businesses and families with whom they have long-standing relationships,” said Rep. Hultgren. “Our unified government now has the opportunity reverse the unnecessarily burdensome policies that have hurt Americans and failed to address the root causes of the financial crisis.” “I am honored to be named vice-chairman of the Subcommittee on Randy Capital Markets, SecuriHultgren ties and Investment and thankful to Chairman Hensarling for trusting me with this responsibility,” said Rep. Hultgren. “Access to capital is central to the success of our economy. In this leadership position I look forward to continuing the fight for job growth, retirement security and economic opportunity for all.”

SHAW MEDIA The Kendall County 4-H Federation aims to break its past donation record during the 17th annual BowlA-Thon. The group is raising funds for a Feed My Starving Children packing event, where 4-H members will help prepare meals for the hunger relief organization. To reach their goal, 4-H Federation youth are seeking donations to support the cause, as well as donations of appropriate small gift items for nearly 100 participating 4-H members bowling in the fundraiser. The group also is accepting top prizes for the high-game and greatest fundraiser awards. Donations will be collected through Tuesday, Feb. 21, and this year’s event is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 25, at Idle Hours Lanes in Sandwich. “The 4-H Federation is a group of 16 teenage 4-H youth from throughout the county, who together, plan, organize and execute this community service event,” said 4-H Program Coordinator Kim Eisnaugle. “The group

also leads other events and service projects throughout the year, but the annual Bowl-A-Thon is the group’s largest project.” Each year, Kendall County 4-H’ers have raised thousands of dollars for various charitable causes. The group collected $2,500 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in 2016, a total of $5,000 for the Kendall County Food Pantry in 2015 and 2014, and in 2013, supported Heifer International with a record-setting donation year of $3,350.

Mini Dental Implants a terrific alternative for replacement teeth SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese In the event a patient has missing teeth, a dental implant is a commonly used restoration technique to provide the patient with a replacement tooth, or in the case of several missing teeth, a bridge. A regular dental implant includes a titanium post that is surgically placed in the jawbone beneath the gum line, allowing your dentist to position the replacement tooth in the correct spot. One benefit of a dental implant is that it doesn’t have to be anchored to other teeth; another is that it won’t come loose, like a denture can. Some patients aren’t able to receive dental implants because they don’t have enough bone mass in their jaw to hold the post; others may not want the invasive surgery required for the implant. A great alternative for these patients is the mini dental implant, which was introduced in 1999. Mini dental implants have been very successful, and currently make up a fast-growing segment of the dental industry.

Mini dental implants are made up of a titanium post with a ball on the end, and a socket with a rubber O-ring that attaches the tooth to the post. They support most types of replacement teeth, including individual teeth, crowns, bridges, and complete lower dentures. Dr. Mark Weinhold, DDS, recommends and offers mini implants to his patients. This tight-fitting, reliable support system for replacement teeth allows patients to speak and eat confidently, eliminating the worry that a denture may become loose and fall out. For patients suffering from uncomfortable or loose-fitting dentures, mini dental implants offer a wonderful solution. Mini implants are usually placed in about an hour. Due to the minimally invasive procedure, patients can eat and drink about an hour after the placement of the implants. For more information, please contact:

Smile More â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Proverbs 15:15 NIV

SM-CL0405300

Kendall County Record â&#x20AC;˘ Oswego Ledger â&#x20AC;˘ Plano Record â&#x20AC;˘ Thursday, January 12, 2017

| COUNTYWIDE

he advice to smile more is ancient wisdom. Proverbs 17:22 tells us that â&#x20AC;&#x153;A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.â&#x20AC;? And even more to the point, we are told in Proverbs 15:13 that a â&#x20AC;&#x153;happy heart makes the face cheerful.â&#x20AC;? But it also works in the other direction: a happy face gladdens the heart. Where the body goes, the mind will follow, and it turns out that the mind can be easily tricked into being happy (or sad) simply by making the face corresponding to the desired emotion. Smile long enough and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start to feel happy; frown and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll soon be feeling quite down. The mind follows the body as much as the body follows the mind. When the body plays a role convincingly, the mind believes it. Dance and exercise work similarly, but smiling is something we can do throughout the day, and it has the added beneďŹ t of spreading to those around us. We all know how refreshing it can be to see children laughing and playing. Most adults have somehow lost that playful gusto for life, but we can regain it just a bit by simply smilingand laughing more often. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Christopher Simon

Families, community members, 4-H’ers, and school students from D uPage, Kane and Kendall counties put their engineering skills to the test in the fifth annual 4-H Bridge Bust Competition on Saturday, Jan. 7. Two families, one from Plano and one from Oswego, claimed the overall top prizes in Aesthetics and Structural Efficiency, and several other local teams placed in the top three in their divisions. “This year, we celebrated five years of promoting engineering, innovation and creativity,” said Jo Ann Britton, 4-H Youth Development Program Coordinator with University of Illinois Extension. “The Bridge Bust competition provides area youth and families with a unique way to challenge their brains, work together and learn about engineering principles, all while having fun.”

In all, 24 teams completed bridges and participated in the 2017 event with 4-H Youth Development through University of Illinois Extension, and partners Rural King of Plano and Fox Valley Family YMCA. The top prize for structural efficiency went to Michael and Zoe Wareman, a father-daughter team from Oswego, whose bridge held 22 pounds and earned a rating of 344.818, and the father-son team of Steve and Jacob Gugala earned the overall aesthetics award for the second year in a row. For weeks, registered teams designed and built bridges – each with the same provided materials and guidelines. On Jan. 7, teams competed in several divisions: family, youth, elementary, middle school and high school. Aesthetics was judged based on provided specifications, the quality of craftsmanship, sound structural design and originality. Structural efficiency ratings were calculated based on the weight of that bridge and the maximum weight supported by it.

CLUB FILE

SHAW MEDIA Sandwich Computer User Group (SCUG) ended 2016 with its annual Christmas potluck and gift exchange. In existence since 1985, this computer group meets on the third Thursday each month at 7 p.m. at the Federated Church in Sandwich, 403 N. Main St. The next SCUG meeting on Jan. 19 has become an annual favorite – members talking about new gadgets they received for Christmas or during the past year – a grown-up version of show and tell. There is always a question-and-answer session and interesting program, as well as great fellowship as club members share ideas and offer solutions to common computer problems with one

another. A sampling of programs presented in the past year included a review on the new Windows 10 operating system; how to move data from your phone and tablet to your Windows PC; clearing out unwanted files to help your computer run more efficiently; strong and secure passwords; 10 simple things to keep your computer fast, safe and easy to use; how to resize images quickly so photos can be sent compactly via email; and password manager apps; as well as several computer “geek” guest speakers. The club welcomes anyone, any age, with an interest or wanting to learn more about computers to drop in at one of their meetings. For information, visit SCUG.org or contact any club member.

Learning the ABCs of a garden catalog Garden catalogs begin to show up in early January and will continue for the next few weeks. Each picture looks better than the next and promises to be bigger or better than last year. Those photos and headlines are exciting, but as you pore over the pages, it is helpful to know how to decipher the information provided so you can make a more educated decision. Vegetable descriptions will often include a number of initials following their name. These signify that the vegetable has disease resistance, or tolerance to a disease, specific to that variety. A tomato, for example, may have several initials V, F, N, or TMV to show resistance to Verticillium and Fusarium wilt, Nematode resistance and Tobacco Mosaic Virus. Another term frequently used to promote a variety is the designation F1. This means that this variety is a first-generation cross and contains the best genes from the male and female parent plants. This F1 hybrid

DOWN THE GARDEN PATH Richard Hentschel will be a better performer, provide a higher yield, and be more disease resistant or tolerant than its parents. Vegetables, just like flowers, also can have the All-America Selection designation. The AAS designation signifies that this variety has performed to a high set of standards to ensure it will perform in your yard. Testing and evaluation occur in a number of locations throughout the United States so you can be comfortable knowing that you can purchase the seed or a transplant and have a quality plant. A growing trend is to purchase heirloom, antique or open pollinated vegetables. These vegetables can provide fruit with a lot of visual character and when eaten, different texture and flavor. If you have problems in

the garden now with diseases, and in particular the soil diseases, it is best to stick with the hybrids since you cannot treat for these diseases and save your vegetable plants. Gardening in a different spot in your yard is a way to grow these kinds of vegetables for several years before diseases become a problem. If you are a flower gardener, similar terminology exists for perennials. If Phlox is on your shopping list, see if you can find one that indicates a resistance to powdery mildew (PM). If roses are your thing, then look for resistance to black spot and powdery mildew. If you are shopping for dwarf apple trees, apple scab and cedar apple rust are diseases you want help to manage properly. Other information provided in the plant description will be days to harvest and growth habit. For example, vine crops listed as a “bush type” means the plant will not vine out but rather stay compact. This is especially good for a small garden. Tomato

plants can be either indeterminate or determinate types. Determinate varieties limit their mature size while still producing tomatoes. Indeterminate varieties will just continue to grow in size while they produce fruits. Starting this early allows you to plan the garden, and figure out the varieties you will need to order from the catalogs that are not available locally at your favorite garden center, and by understanding the descriptions in any catalog or on a plant tag, you get to make the best selection possible for your garden.

• BRIDGES

“We sat down and decided efficiency was most important. We decided on an over-arch with under triangles. Both are strong, amazing shapes for bridges. The truss design was zig-zag triangles for support. It also provided visual appeal, but we didn’t focus on aesthetics.”

Continued from page 23 In addition, a new team choice was added this year to give younger students, ages 5 to 9, the opportunity to practice engineering and design skills without competition. These non-competitive division teams were able to conference with judges, with the option to break their bridges in an exposition category. During the judging and tabulating portions of the day, participants and spectators alike had the opportunity to witness robotics demonstrations from 4-H Club #AWESOME 2.0; to try out the 4-H National Youth Science Day activity, Drone Discovery, with 4-H Teen Science Ambassadors; and to see 4-H projects from State Fair Superior Award winners. Attendees and teams also learned about real-world projects in construction, design and engineering from Ted Gibbons, senior associate at Desman Design Management, and Bob Latzke, a civil and geotechnical engineer. In addition, U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, attended the event to support his son’s 4-H Robotics team, and he spoke to the crowd about the importance of STEM education, opportunities and careers. “We need to do everything we can to prepare young people to fill these roles,” said Hultgren, who also is cochair of the Science, Space and Technology Committee. “There are amazing opportunities out there in our communities. We are so grateful for 4-H and Extension. They are a wonderful resource we should be supporting and taking advantage of.” “The more we can have these available, the better chance we have to help kids find their passion and encourage them to pursue their dreams,” he added. Twelve-year-old Zoe Wareman said she has been inspired by both projects at school and the Bridge Bust event to be a mechanical engineer one day. She entered the annual Bridge Bust event last year with a school team and she laughed as she called it “an epic fail,” but that did not stop her from coming back. This year, Zoe and her dad entered in the family division. She did research, attended the 4-H Bridge Building workshop and took another approach to her bridge. “We sat down and decided efficiency was most important,” she said. “We decided on an over-arch with under triangles. Both are strong, amazing shapes for bridges. The truss design was zig-zag triangles for support. It also provided visual appeal, but we didn’t focus on aesthetics.” It worked, as the father-daughter duo took top honors for structural efficiency overall and in their division. They even added a second-place aes-

They learn the importance of delegating jobs within a group and managing time. When you let the students own the project, they truly learn.” Rural King Store Manager Brandon

Kunkel said he is proud the store sponsors an event like this one. In fact, the Plano store collaborated with U of I Extension to conceptualize this local program at its inception, and they continue to provide the breaking tables and some of the help with event volunteers. “We really want to get outside the store and get involved in the community,” he said. “The skills the youth learn here can help them in school and outside of school. Who knows? We may have inspired a future architect or engineer because they had this opportunity.” Full results of the 2017 Bridge Bust are as follows: Family Division: Aesthetics Awards: first place, the Gugala family of Plano; second, the Wareman family of Oswego; and third, the Shear family of Morris. Structural Efficiency Awards: first place, Waremans; second, the Davis family of Newark; and third, Shears. Youth Division: Aesthetics Awards:

Structural Efficiency Awards: first, O’Neill Middle School Team 2; second, O’Neill Middle School Team 1; and third, Grace Holistic Center for Education. High School Division: Aesthetics Award and Structural Efficiency Award: first, Streator High School Team. This annual event was sponsored by 4-H and University of Illinois Extension, in partnership with Rural King of Plano and the Fox Valley Family YMCA. Event volunteers, judges and speakers included Kyle Dorf, Chris Erickson, Ted Gibbons, Brandon Kunkel, Bob Latzke, Jeff and Austin Nakaerts and Jacob Thede. “We are grateful to our partners, volunteers and guests for making this annual event a great success,” Britton said. “We look forward to the event each year, and enjoy seeing youth and community members enjoy this fun, educational opportunity.” For more information about the event or local 4-H and Youth Development programs, contact your county Extension office, or visit web.extension.illinois.edu/dkk. University of Illinois Extension provides educational programs and research-based information to help Illinois residents improve their quality of life, develop skills and solve problems.
