FUNDRAISER HELPS BURN VICTIM PREPARE FOR MEDICAL COSTS

Friends, family and co-workers brought their appetites – and their wallets -- to the Kendall County Courthouse last Wednesday.

Sheriff’s office employees flipped burgers, 300 of them, on a grill set up outside a rear courthouse door for a fundraiser for Kendall County animal control officer Jody Dicks, who was burned in an accident earlier this year.

Dicks, in his 10th year as a county animal control officer, was severely burned in an accident at his home May 13.
