PAGE 4 BY PAM EGGEMEIER STERLING – The park district is gather- ing information so it can weigh its options for dealing with the algae-infested Thom- as Park pond. The park district budgeted $5,000 this fiscal year to investigate what can and can’t be done. Wendler Engineering, the Dixon-based firm that has worked on several projects at the Westwood Sports Complex, was hired to do some prelimi- nary work with the pond. “Initially, we looked things like depth, what needed to be removed, permitting, and who will be involved in the process,” Park District Executive Director Larry Schuldt said. The pond, built in 1975 over about 1.33 acres, once had 6 feet of water. Runoff from land to the north, mainly farmland, has created a silt deposit problem. That and drought have left the pond with less than 1 foot of water in most places, spur- ring the algae growth. Schuldt said the pond’s sediment will be tested soon. A plan will be sent to the Army Corps of Engineers, which automatically triggers EPA notification. What is in the water also factors into what can be done with about 7,400 cubic feet of material that would have to be dealt with, if the pond was dredged. “We would need an area the size of two football fields, if we were to store it on- site,” Schuldt said. The cost estimate for dredging the pond is $150,000, but transporting the material would push the total over the $200,000 mark. That makes sediment testing a key component. “We have to test the material to see if we can leave it in an area of the park,” Schul- dt said. “If there are contaminants and we have to take it somewhere else, the cost goes up considerably.” Schuldt said the park district will get numbers on filling in the pond and replacing it with grass, but it’s likely that dredging will be the only feasible option. The pond situation is also the responsi- bility of the city, because it also is used as a stormwater retention pond. The city and park district say they won’t know how the cost will be divided until all of the informa- tion is available. The pond slows down the stormwater flow, making it less likely that the ulti- mate destination, Elkhorn Creek, is not flooded during periods of heavy rain. The water can rise in the pond first before draining to an outlet pipe that moves it to a ditch along Lynn Boulevard, before making its way to the creek. Sterling City Manager Scott Shumard said the pond plays a key role in drainage. “The farther west you go, it would make a big difference,” Shumard said. “In front of Kroger, there’s a paved ditch that winds adjacent to several neighborhoods, so it slows down what can go into the creek and potentially flood those areas.” In fact, the Lynn Boulevard bike path plan calls for eventually building three more ponds along that stretch between the park and Sixth Avenue. “The ponds would be for bike path scen- ery, and could also be used as city reten- tion ponds,” Shumard said. The city would absorb all of the cost for those ponds, he said. Schuldt hopes to have all of the informa- tion he needs to make a decision about the pond sometime this fall. “We should be able to make presen- tations in late fall or early winter to the council and park board,” he said. “If we make the decision to dredge, it would be done next summer sometime.” Concerns about the pond have largely been about aesthetics, Schuldt said. How- ever, a couple of weeks ago, the Whiteside County Health Department responded to a call from a resident concerned about mosquito-borne diseases. After looking at the pond, the health department con- cluded that the pond scum doesn’t draw the type of mosquito that carries West Nile virus and other such diseases. “This isn’t the type of environment where the culex mosquito typically lays its eggs,” said Gene Johnston, Whiteside County Health Department environmen- tal director. “They are more likely to lay eggs in containers, tires, and empty pools – where there is no current or habitat.” Johnston said the banks of the pond could, however, be a fertile breeding ground for the basic floodwater mosqui- to. “That variety is a nuisance, but it doesn’t spread disease.” District exploring its options STERLING | THOMAS PARK POND Pond helps prevent floods Family owned and operated since 1967! 502 IL Rt. 2, Dixon • 815-284-2044 IL Licensed 058-061599 A/C SERVICE Residential • Commercial Fam 502 IL Licens 058-0615 LOWER LABOR RATES ON ALL SERVICE CALLS! 815-288-1644 Dixon, Illinois www.supremecleanersinc.com ir Duct Cleaning & Sanitizing arpet & Furniture Cleaning ire & Water Restoration THE $20 OFF AIR DUCT CLEANING with this ad Exp. 8/30/14 With this ad.

BY PAM EGGEMEIER
STERLING – Fundraising efforts for a proposed dog park project at Thomas Park are ramping up after almost being aborted, according to project committee members.
The concept of Sterling Bark Park was developed 2 years ago through Facebook conversations between some supporters now on the committee.
“We talked about how we needed a dog park here, and we had supporters sign a petition,” committee member Pat McLeod said.
The group then approached the Sterling Park Dis-trict, which also formed a committee to study the idea. It was decided that the underused back portion of the park along Lynn Boulevard – anywhere from one-third to half the park – could provide enough space for dogs to run without their leashes.
While the supporters might be long on enthusiasm, they are short on cash. Preliminary plans called for a pond, dock, an agility course, and separate areas for small and large dogs. The cost estimates came in between $150,000 and $200,000 – with about $70,000 of that needed for fencing.
The dog park committee has raised about $5,000 to date, much of it from mailers that were sent to those who had signed the petition. The park district would provide the land if Thomas Park was the chosen site, but that would be where its financial contribution would likely end.
“The park district is not involved financially,” execu-tive director Larry Schuldt said. “The board supports the project and this location as one to consider, but there is no money coming from our end.”
Fundraising momentum hit a wall last year, but the committee said they have refocused their efforts on bringing in enough money to put up the fencing. The small dog and large dog areas would be available, while the other phases of the project could be added when more funds arrive.
“We haven’t given up on the other aspects of the park; we would just do it in phases,” McLeod said.
Despite the fundraising challenges, the committee wants the dog park to be free to the community.
“We wouldn’t have a fee at the beginning, at least,” McLeod said. “We hope we can police it ourselves, but we could discover we have to charge later.”
McLeod thinks the fencing can be done for $50,000 if they can get volunteers to help put it up.
Schuldt said the materials alone would cost about $40,000, and that is a 2-year-old estimate.
“There is quite a bit of square footage here; the fenc-ing is for basically three parks in one – small dog, large dog, and agility area,” Schuldt said. “You need perim-eter and internal fencing, which is why is costs so much.”
A fundraiser, with activities for adults, kids and dogs has been planned for Sept. 13 at Cochran’s Pub, 13464 Galt Road in Sterling. There will be events for adults, kids and dogs.
After the September event, the committee also plans to take its fundraising to the next level.
“We’re doing a bigger campaign that will focus on corporations and small businesses,” McLeod said. “Things came to a stop for awhile, but we have some new people with new ideas on the committee, and we are reinvigorated.”
New committee member Brigitte Willett said the recent Sterling Main Street Dog Days festival helped to solidify the troops.
“Some of the ladies approached me at Dog Days, saying they wanted to really get this going again,” she said. “This was almost dead at one point, but we’re committed to getting this first phase finished as soon as possible.”
Schuldt said the dog park particulars will not come before the park board until the funds are available for the fencing. He said the board supports the project and believes Thomas Park is a location to consider.
“What the board does also depends on what we hear from the community,” Schuldt said. “We’ve had some concerns about noise, fear of dogs running loose, and some feedback about aesthetics.”
Schuldt believes the site is as good as any other space that could be found locally.
“It’s somewhat centralized, and it’s a good use of space that is underutilized,” he said. “I told the com-mittee we’ll hang in there with it as long as they will.”
The closest dog parks are in Dixon, Freeport and Clinton, Iowa.

saute the ground beef over medium-high heat until no pink remains. Break up the meat while sauteing. Add onions and garlic and saute until ten-der, about 5 minutes.
Add the 3 cups water, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, basil, marjo-ram, oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme, bay leaves, soy sauce, salt and pep-per. Stir well. Cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes. Add the macaroni, stir well, cover and simmer 25 minutes.
Remove from heat, remove the bay leaves and allow the mixture to rest about 30 minutes more before serving (this resting will make the spices pronounced). Left-overs are even better the next day.

Serious Chicken Par-mesan
Yield: 6 servings1 (28-ounce) can whole
peeled plum tomatoes, preferably from San Mar-zano
2 tablespoons olive oil2 tablespoons minced
onions1 garlic clove, minced3/4 pound fresh moz-
zarella4 large eggs1/2 cup freshly grated
Pecorino Romano cheese, divided
2 teaspoons minced parsley
SaltPepper6 boneless, skinless
chicken breast halves1 cup all-purpose flour2 cups bread crumbs1 cup vegetable oilRemove tomatoes from
the can, reserving their juice. Use your hands to crush the tomatoes; then remove and discard the hard core from the stem end. Set aside. Put oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat, add onion and saute until translucent and just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and saute until fra-grant, about 30 seconds.
Add tomatoes, their juice and salt to taste (you may not need salt if the canned tomatoes are salty enough). Bring to a boil, then immediately reduce heat to a very low simmer. Cook for 45 min-utes until flavors have combined and sauce is slightly thickened. Add pepper to taste and set aside.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice mozzarella into 1/4-inch thick slices, and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, 1/4 cup of the Pecorino Romano cheese, the parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
Carefully dredge each chicken breast in flour, then in the seasoned egg batter. Allow excess batter to drip off, then dredge chicken in bread crumbs. Set aside, taking care not to let the breasts
overlap.Heat vegetable oil in
a large saute pan over medium high heat. When oil is very hot but not smoking, carefully place breasts in pan (you may have to do this in batch-es). Brown each side, turning once, season-ing with salt and pepper when you turn. Drain on paper towels.
Spread tomato sauce across bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Place breasts on top of the sauce and bake 20 minutes.
Remove from oven, but leave the oven on. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Pecorino Romano over the breasts, and top each breast with 2 slices of the mozzarella cheese. Return to oven and bake 5 minutes or until moz-zarella is melted and just bubbling and beginning to brown. You may need to run the pan under the broiler for a minute or 2 to bubble and brown the cheese.
Serve with a spoonful of sauce on top of each breast and more sauce around the sides.

Easy Sauteed Mushrooms
Yield: 4 servings1/4 cup (1/2 stick) but-
ter1/4 cup sherry1/2 package onion soup
mix1/2 pound sliced mush-

over medium heat. Stir in sherry. Add soup mix and then mushrooms.
Cook to desired texture.Per serving: 135 calo-
ries; 12 g fat; 7 g saturat-ed fat; 30 mg cholesterol; 2 g protein; 4 g carbohy-drate; 2 g sugar; no fiber; 105 g sodium; 15 mg calcium.
mushrooms, washed and trimmed and sliced ! inch thick.
2 cloves garlic, minced1/2 teaspoon kosher
salt2 tablespoons chopped
flat-leaf parsleyBlack pepper2 to 3 tablespoons
heavy cream, broth or lemon juice, optional
Fresh herbs, such as
thyme, sage and/or chives, optional
Heat the oil and butter in a 12-inch saute pan or skillet over medium heat until the butter foams. Add mushrooms and garlic, sprinkle with salt and stir with a wooden spoon until the mush-rooms start to release their moisture and begin to shrink, about 2 to 4 minutes.
Increase heat to medium high; you will hear a steady sizzle. Stir occasionally. In about 5 minutes, when the liq-uid has evaporated and the mushrooms start to brown, give an occasion-al stir with the spoon, about once a minute, to allow the mushrooms to brown, cooking them for another 2 to 4 minutes. Resist the inclination to stir too often.
Remove from the heat and toss the mushrooms with the parsley and pep-per to taste, adding more salt if needed. If desired, deglaze pan with cream, broth or lemon juice, and add to the mushroom mixture. Add a sprinkling of fresh herbs, if you like.
Per serving: 85 calories; 7 g fat; 2 g saturated fat; 10 mg cholesterol; 3 g protein; 6 g carbohy-drate; 2 g sugar; 1 g fiber; 250 g sodium; 25 mg cal-cium.

ROCK FALLS
BY PAM EGGEMEIER
ROCK FALLS – More than half of the houses given a mandate to switch from well water to city service by Oct. 1 have not yet hooked up.
In 2011, the city identi-fied 248 houses that need to make the switch, say-ing the decision was the result of the cleanup of the Reliant Fastener and Parrish-Alford sites. One of the requirements of the Environmental Pro-tection Agency’s reme-diation process was that private wells within 1,500 feet of those properties could no longer be used.
During a meeting Thurs-day of the city’s Public Works Committee, Mayor Bill Wescott said that more than 140 houses still haven’t connected to city water. The mayor revisit-ed the city ordinance that was amended earlier this year to prohibit the use of well water within the city limits.
The city has put all of the stop boxes in, and res-idents must have the city put the meters in place.
The deadline had been set for April 5, but the harsh winter gave resi-dents some extra time. The City Council on April 1 voted to extend the deadline to Oct. 1, to give the water department
more time to get the ser-vice boxes i n p l a c e . Letters were sent to the a f f e c t e d households the day after the exten-
sion was granted.“We were cut short on
time with the winter we had,” Water Superinten-dent Ted Padilla said at the time. “There were years where we could have worked into Janu-ary or started in March, but Mother Nature didn’t cooperate this year.”
Wescott said the ordi-nance will be strictly policed. As a Class A vio-lation, the penalty can be between $100 and $750.
“I think people have had plenty of time to comply,” Wescott said. “It has been 3 years and 6 months since this started, and we were nice enough to extend it to Oct. 1.”
Citations can be issued by the police or the build-ing department.
Just like other adjudicat-ed ordinance citations, if the situation is rectified within 30 days, the ticket will be thrown out. How-ever, if a resident is non-compliant and is ticketed again, they run the risk of being fined retroactively back to the first offense.
“Each day can be cited as a separate violation of the ordinance in that instance and the judge can fine back to the first day,” Wescott said.
More than half of well users still not hooked upWescott says penalties will be strictly enforced
DEKALB
BY ANDREA AZZO
DeKALB – Kristin Mal-donado finds comfort in knowing her manager at Michaels in DeKalb struggles with the same autoimmune disorder as she does.
Maldonado, a DeKalb resident, was diagnosed with Hashimoto thyroid-itis when she was 12 years old. Now 29, the disorder that attacks her thyroid has affected her energy levels. She regularly has to monitor her thyroid-stimulating hormone levels with blood tests, is prone to depression and has plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the foot.
Her store manager at Michaels, Shannon Car-penter, also has Hashi-moto thyroiditis.
“She completely understands,” Maldo-nado said. “Some other people don’t understand and think it’s normal to be tired, but when you’re tired all the time and can’t do normal activities because your feet hurt, all I want to do is sleep all day.”
Not every employee has the same luxury of confid-ing in their bosses about their disabilities. An article recently published in the journal, Industrial and Organizational Psychol-ogy: Perspectives on Sci-ence and Practice, found many employees struggle with disclosing their invis-ible disabilities, which are conditions that are not immediately noticeable. The article states that disclosing an invisible disability can affect the employee’s chances of getting a promotion, as well as their social rela-tionships and the overall health of the employee.
Northern Illinois Uni-versity psychology pro-
fessor Alecia Santuzzi was the lead author in the article. Santuzzi worked with Purdue University psychology professor Deborah Rupp to raise attention to the issue and to point out how current legislation might not be sensitive to those with invisible disabilities.
“Research suggests concealing stigmatiz-ing information does weigh down on cogni-tive resources,” Santuzzi said. “Mental energy that one could be devoting to being a better worker is somewhat distracted or challenged because part of their attention is on managing that informa-tion and making sure there aren’t any leaks.”
While the article does not call on specific legis-lation to change, it does cite the challenges of some already in place. An amendment of the Americans With Disabili-ties Act requires employ-
ers to provide accommo-dations for the disabled, which could force those suffering from invisible disabilities to talk to their employer about how their disability affects work performance.
Another law enacted in March requires federal contractors to ask poten-tial employees whether they have a disability before they are even hired for the job. Under this law, job seekers are asked to voluntarily fill out a form asking whether or not they have a disability. They can choose, “I do not wish to answer” in the form, said Nancy Ham-mer, senior government affairs policy counsel for the Society For Human Resource Management.
“HR as a profession is very focused and aware of non-discrimination laws,” Hammer said. “On the other hand, we understand why an indi-vidual who has a disabil-
ity, especially if you can’t see it, may not want to disclose that unless they need to for some reason.”
Disclosure was dif-ficult for Treveda Red-mond, an eighth grade language arts teacher at Clinton Rosette Middle School in DeKalb. Red-mond missed the major-ity of the 2013-2014 school year after being diagnosed with early stage breast cancer.
She made the aggres-sive decision of having double mastectomy in December, despite hav-ing no family history of breast cancer. She received breast implants June 17 to bring back her confidence.
Redmond said it was hard to tell school prin-cipal Tim Vincent about her struggles because he is a man. It took her about two weeks to tell Vincent of her diagnosis.
“He was as supportive as he could be,” she said.
Invisible disabilitiesSome DeKalb County workers struggle with unseen disorders
Danielle Guerra/[email protected] Clinton Rosette Middle School eighth-grade language arts teacher Treveda Redmond unpacks boxes Wednesday in her classroom in DeKalb. Redmond did not return to teaching last year after Thanksgiving break until the last few weeks of school because of her breast cancer diagnosis and surgeries. She’s been teaching for 14 years.
