County looks at I-180 reduction

Feds want to reduce interstate from four lanes to two lanes

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The federal government is looking to reduce Interstate 180 from a four-lane

to a two-lane highway.

The proposed cost saving measure was discussed briefly at the Bureau County Board meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 11.

Economic Development Chairmen Mike Kohr explained

Putnam County is strongly against this proposal, and so is the regional economic development group, Economic Development Corporation of North Central Illinois (EDCNCI), as reducing the lanes could complicate the ability to market the Hennepin property near the old steel mill.

“The highway is a major selling point, and it would compli-

the federal government tried to take away federal aid route status to several of the county’s routes, but he put a stop to the plan. He said he would look more into the matter about I-180.

In the meantime, the county board will be drafting a resolution opposing the highway

cate things if we lost that,” Kohr said. “It’s something for all of us to be away of and keep our ear to the ground to hear what’s going on and voice our concerns.”

Bureau County Highway Engineer John Gross said it was the first he had heard of the plans and said it is probably is an outcome from a recent Function Reclassification of Federal Aid Routes conducted. Gross said

Tiskilwa looks at remodeling project Village office considered

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

TISKILWA — The Tiskilwa Village Board will consider remodeling a village building on Main Street into a village office.

Tiskilwa Village Board President Randy Philhower suggested at the board’s meeting Tuesday, Aug. 11, to put shelves up for storage of records now placed in plastic totes on the floor of this building, currently also being used to store a police car and house some village equipment.

Philhower said this office could be used by the village clerk and be a place where people can call to contact village officials, since there is currently no village number for this purpose now.

Board members decided to wait until September’s meeting to decide how much to pay for a sewer backup problem at the John and Ginger Murphy home on West Brewster Street that happened on May 28. Ginger Murphy read a letter from her husband, John, asking that the village pay for $1,725 in expenses they incurred to find and repair a blockage in the sewer line found underneath the street that backed up into their house.

Philhower said the blockage happened over time, and the sewer line has been operating for 25 years with no problems.

He said he isn’t adverse to the village paying for some of the expenses, but he wasn’t sure the village should pay the entire expense.

In other business, Jack Kusek, village engineer, told board members he will get proposals

Incoming freshmen band together like a cross-country ski team during orientation activities at Princeton High School’s Ignite Day on Tuesday, Aug. 11.

Finding their stripes PHS seniors show incoming freshmen the ropes at Ignite Day

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The lawn of Princeton High School was strewn with taught ropes, blindfolds, balancing acts and the thrill of anticipation from onlookers on Tuesday, Aug. 11.

No, the circus was not in town, but Ignite Day filled the sky with roars of excitement painted blue and white.

Students gathered at PHS Tuesday morning as upperclassmen welcomed the incoming freshmen class with encouragement, advice and team-building activities. The Ignition program

was adopted by PHS administrators as a unique interactive opportunity to alleviate stress and promote alliance between the entire student body rather than only high school rookies.

Natalie Vujanov is on the Ignition promotion committee and said Ignite Day generates comfort for seasoned Princeton Tigers as well as those just entering the jungle.

“We’re looking to build connections not only between freshmen and seniors, but with

each other,” said Vujanov, a senior who was greatly assisted by her Ignite Day experience.

“Freshmen tour the school and get familiar with the place, and I met a lot of people from out of town and saw where my locker and classrooms were.”

Senior Chaz Williams indicated Ignition mentors had to fill out an application and answer a few questions as to their interest in guiding their future alumni.

Keeping best friends together LaMoille dog trainer is doing what she loves

By Dave Cook dcook@bcrnews.com

LAMOILLE — The cat lay sound asleep in the middle of floor. Not a single bark or canine skirmish was heard. There was no pacing or insistent nudging for attention. Everything was calm and quiet.

It’s a testament to her skills as a dog trainer for Jen Rhodes to be able to have nine dogs and a cat and have a serene home.

Granted, there surely must be those occasional pecking order moments of pack life which all dog owners experience, but the behavior of everyone with four legs was impressive.

Jen Rhodes was initiated into the world of dog training when she was 12.

Her family raised Cocker Spaniels, but when she brought home a puppy who was going to grow up to be a big farm dog, her mother wanted her to take it back.

“But, my dad said I could keep it if I trained it, and I did. It’s been a passion of mine since,” said Rhodes, who began showing her family’s dogs and also training police dogs with the woman who taught her how to train.

“I’d already been training for years when the hype for having certification came about, but I went online and got certified.

There are schools now, but I learned everything hands on,” said Rhodes.

Rhodes has a 100 percent success rate of dogs she’s trained passing their Canine Good Citizen test or Therapy Dog International test. So far, 108 dogs have received their certifications.

“I deal with aggressive dogs all the way down to the most meek and mild dogs you’ll see,” said Rhodes. She additionally trains dogs to high jump and run agility courses along with basic obedi-

Above: Tasha, a rescued Pitbull mixed breed, sails over the hurdles during an agility dog demonstration at the Putnam County Community Center in Standard. Trainer Jen Rhodes (below) had several dogs there who ran the agility course, caught discs and helped show the importance of training.

ence. There are multiple vets and rescuers who call her to help recondition abused dogs, so they have a chance of being adopted into a loving home.

“If for some reason you get hurt, get ill or die, what’s going to happen to your dog if it’s not social?

Who can adopt? Most dog

lovers willing to take on another dog need it to be dog social. There are rescues in the area which won’t even take dogs who aren’t social with other dogs, so I’m really a stickler about socialization,” said Rhodes.

Rhodes not only conducts training at her resi-

dence in LaMoille, but will also travel to the homes of dog owners to help with obedience issues in familiar surroundings. She’s been training as a business for four years and has seen a steady increase in business. She started with 175 contracts (in-home accounts) and is now up to

more than 5,000.

“It’s all about how much time and energy you put in with your dog and how much bonding there is.

You’ve got to teach a dog, and it all comes from positive reinforcement. We do nothing negative with our dogs; it’s all positive,” said Rhodes.

Rhodes has also created “Paws for a Cause”. A charity event which benefits different causes each year. This year it will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 15, in LaMoille and will benefit two groups; Pit Crew, a Pit Bull rescue group in Chicago, and Bishop’s Small Dog Rescue in Wyanet. Together with her training partner, Brian Funk, they will conduct agility, high jump and disc demonstrations, safety awareness, children and adult games, a 50/50 drawing, door prizes, a bake sale, vendors, costume and cute dog contests, a raffle and more.

Both groups will have adoptable dogs present, and shirts commemorating each group are available by pre-ordering.

While Rhodes’ and Funk’s agility dogs have a seemingly desperate, high energy need to focus on work or play as they streak through the course and endear themselves to all who see them during demonstrations, it’s Abbie, a rescued Rottweiler, who can really pull the heart strings. She’s only 5, but double knee surgeries left her with the stiff walk of an older dog. She’s a certified therapy dog, and she helped prove their importance while visiting Woodhaven after the tornado devastation. While being escorted through the debris, Rhodes and Abbie came upon a small, older woman who had just seen the remains of her home for the first time. Half of her house was standing, and the other half was in pieces in her neighbor’s yard.

“The woman dropped to her knees, wrapped her arms around Abbie and burying her face in her shoulder, cried,” said Rhodes. When the woman had finished crying, she stood and leaned over to give Abbie a kiss. Abbie responded with a full face worth of kisses to help console her.

For more information on both dog training and “Paws for a Cause” contact Jen Rhodes at 815-7626420.

Road repairs coming to Wyanet

By Becky Kramer news@bcrnews.com

WYANET — Wyanet Village Engineer Jack Kusek and Trustee Dave Bickett spent some time last week looking at the roads in Wyanet and deciding on what needs to be done to fix the problems. The issue was brought before the Wyanet Village Board, held Tuesday, Aug. 11, at the Village Hall.

Kusek advised the board many of the minor road issues can be fixed by applying a spray patch.

The more severe problems will be filled with gravel and then repaired.

The board adopted a Motor Fuel Tax resolution in the amount of $13,500 for highway maintenance.

Also, Wyanet Village President Bruce Hand discussed the need to begin looking for a used garbage truck to replace the village’s truck. Hand suggested replacing the current truck before it

Village Hall. Hand is going to bring information on the cost and layout of the offices next month.

The board is considering selling its property located at 120 N. Locust.

In other business: • Marquez provided the board with his monthly activity report.

• Trustee Joe Law provided the board with an update on the new concession stand at the baseball diamond.

• The board learned village workers spruced up the cemetery. They added white rock and cleaned up brush.

• The village agreed to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with Berlin Township. This agreement allows Wyanet and Berlin Township to borrow each other’s equipment.

The next board meeting is set for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 8, in the Wyanet Village Hall.

starts costing the village an excessive amount of money to keep it in working order.

Hand explained, “This doesn’t have to happen this month or even next, but we need to look at our options.”

Recently the village repaired the garbage truck at a cost of $5,000.

The board also reminded residents not to blow grass clippings into the streets. Recently there have been many complaints about this problem. The board is looking into creating an ordinance to reinforce this rule.

Police Chief Todd Marquez will be contacting some neighboring towns to see what their ordinances are regarding grass clippings. Wyanet Village Clerk Shelley Teske will be contacting the village lawyer as well.

The board is looking into moving the police chief’s offices to the building next to the Wyanet

Mautino’s leadership on state’s audit commission recognized SPRING VALLEY — In recognition of state Rep. Frank Mautino’s service to taxpayers and his work to strengthen governmental transparency and accountability, members of the state’s Legislative Audit Commission recently adopted a resolution commending Mautino as a leader of the state’s bipartisan auditing agency.

“Transparency and efficiency are essential to maintaining taxpayers’ trust,” Mautino said. “The Legislative Audit Commission is a critical component in maintaining the General Assembly’s ability to monitor and ensure state agencies are delivering the services that Illinois residents expect and depend on.”

The Legislative Audit Commission is a bipartisan body of 12 legislators — divided equally

other Commission members and co-chairs to work accordingly.”

“The ability of the commission to find new efficiencies that can save taxpayer dollars is a powerful example of the bipartisan cooperation that our state needs,” Mautino added.

“I’ve always taken my responsibilities on the commission seriously.

I’m humbled by the commission’s resolution and thankful for the well wishes my family and I have received from constituents on a speedy recovery from my recent surgery. I look forward to returning to work and helping make our state a better place to live, work and raise a family.”

Mautino represents the 76th District, which includes all or portions of Bureau, LaSalle, Livingston and Putnam counties.

between Democrats and Republicans and both legislative chambers — responsible for reviewing public audits. The commission conducts public hearings on major audits of state agencies to review agencies’ performance, take steps to correct any issues, and ensure public dollars are being spent appropriately and efficiently.

Mautino first joined the commission in 1997 and served as co-chair for more than 13 years. He resigned in July, a requirement as he seeks to become Illinois’ next auditor general.

Resolution 148, adopted unanimously by the Legislative Audit Commission, credits Mautino’s fairness, knowledge of state issues and commitment to serving Illinois’ residents, and for leaving “a record of discipline and goodwill which inspires

Hall sentenced for burglary/armed robbery PRINCETON — On Aug. 6, Sheldon A. Hall, 24, of Princeton pleaded guilty to the Class X felony of armed robbery and the Class 1 felony of residential burglary.

He was sentenced to serve 22 years in prison on the armed robbery conviction and 15 years in prison for the residential burglary offense. The sentences will run concurrently.

The residential burglary occurred on April 27, when Hall entered a house of a Bureau County couple and stole firearms, jewelry, an Apple iPad and other miscellaneous items. Lt. Tim Trevier of the Bureau County Sheriff’s Department investigated the incident.

The day after the burglary, Trevier searched pawn receipts from area

pawn shops and found the defendant pawned an Apple iPad in Peoria that was taken in the burglary.

After discovering this information, Trevier located a Peoria address where Hall was temporarily residing.

Trevier, along with the Peoria Police Department, went to that apartment and were given consent by the renter to search the apartment. In that search, the police recovered most of the items taken in the burglary, as well as four of the firearms. Hall was later arrested on a warrant on an unrelated charge and brought to the Bureau County Jail.

The armed robbery occurred on Nov. 21, 2014.

Hall, wearing camouflage clothing and holding a fire-

arm, entered a pharmacy in Princeton and demanded the pharmacist give him all of the pharmacy’s Xanax tablets. The pharmacist complied, and Hall left.

Officer John Shofner of the Princeton Police Department was the lead investigator on this case.

During the investigation, a friend of the Hall who resided in Peoria came forward and told Shofner and Trevier that Hall admitted to her he robbed a pharmacy in Princeton and gave her explicit details of the what occurred during the robbery. Hall was then interviewed by Trevier and Shofner, and he admitted to the residential burglary and the armed robbery.

Hall does not have a prior criminal history.

Setting a policy on county credit cards The fees and salaries committee is working with new county administrator Sue McLaughlin to develop a policy on use of county credit cards.

Committee chairman Marshann Entwhistle said there is currently no policy concerning the issue. She said the sheriff’s department and the coroner are the only two departments who currently use credit cards. The committee would also like to provide McLaughlin with a credit card to be used for county business, however when it came to a vote at the Tuesday, Aug. 11, meeting, the issue was tabled after board member Mike

A few facts about Interstate 180 • Interstate 180 is a 13-mile long spur from Interstate 80 south to Hennepin along the Illinois River.

• It was constructed to provide access from the freeway to LTV Steel plant in Hennepin.

• The blog, The View from Wisconsin, wrote about the Top 50 interstate oddities in the U.S. in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Interstate Highway System. The blog rated the interstate at No.17. In the description; it said LTV Steel was a major defense contractor, which is why the freeway was built in the 1960s. This is the only case of an interstate highway built for private enterprise in the U.S. There is a possibility that the freeway could be extended to Peoria on a bypass of Route 29, running alongside the Illinois River, but for now it is a very low-traffic freeway, since LTV Steel went bankrupt in 2002, and the plant closed.

Maynard suggested the county put a credit card policy in place before providing another credit card.

The board unanimously voted to table the vote on providing McLaughlin a credit card until next month’s meeting.

Maynard also asked if there was a credit limit on the cards given out.

McLaughlin said she wasn’t yet sure about the limit on the current credit cards in the county, but said typically a limit of $2,500 is given to employees and $5,000 is given to department heads.

In other news, the board: • Approved $1,165.50 to Midwest Environmen-

tal to collect 15 asbestos samples on the courthouse roof. Kristi Warren, chairmen of the building and grounds committee, said an asbestos check needs to be completed before a new roof is placed on the courthouse.

• Approved computers in sheriff department’s squad cars at a cost of $57,000, and $2,700 over the next two years air cards for the computers.

The money will be taken out of public safety sales tax.

• Appointed Paul Humpage of Spring Valley to fill the District 22 seat, which was last held by Joe Bassetti.

Incoming freshmen to Princeton High School gather at the Ignite Day.

PHS From Page 1 “Ignite Day helps the freshmen build themselves up, so they aren’t scared of this whole new feeling and setting,” said Williams, who called the activities ice breakers to help the newbies relax. “Yes, it’s a new school, but it’s a great new opportunity also.”

The freshmen banded together 10 people deep to lift planks of wood like a cross-country ski team.

They rotated in unison on boxes around a circle with a few team members blindfolded; their success

They directed each other toward a common goal, the upperclassmen shouting their rally cries from every direction. Incoming freshman Trace Erickson seemed to be finding his stripes already on Tuesday.

“We learn to work with each other today and figure things out together, and that will help us later on,” said Erickson, aware of, but not intimidated by, the pressures of high school. “It’s a nice way to introduce students to each other and calm everybody down.”

Brooke Hieronymus was admittedly shy as a freshman, but became an ignition mentor because of the impact her mentors had her first year at PHS. “I’ve changed so much over the last three years, and I’m glad to have experienced this; so hopefully these freshmen feel the same way,” said Hieronymus, who now blends a confident voice with a proactive demeanor. “Everyone seems really excited about this, and as the freshmen see us seniors, they’ll know they can grow in a similar kind of way.”

Overcoming the embarrassment I was cleaning off old bookshelves at home over the weekend and came across a publication I bought while in college.

The book is called “Writer’s Block,” and it offers a suggested writing topic idea each day of the year.

As I flipped quickly through the cube-shaped book, I decided to shut it quickly before opening it up to a random spot to see what writing assignment I would land on. I glared at the page as I read, “retell your most embarrassing moment.”

I chuckled as my mind filled with several life memories that have left me blushing beyond belief over the years.

As I closed the COMMENTARY book and went on with my cleaning, I continued to ponder my single most embarrassing moment in life.

There is one story that sticks out among the others.

About three years ago, my parents were invited to a Sen. Sue Rezin spaghetti fundraiser dinner.

They extended the invite to my then boyfriend (now husband) and me, and while we weren’t so into hearing about local politics, we were interested in the dinner and dessert, so we accepted the invitation.

At the fundraiser, we were asked to sign in before we had the opportunity to mingle with other guests.

With several sign-in sheets to choose from, I casually chose one on the table, jotted my name down before grabbing a name tag and heading into the dinner.

The food was delicious; the company was great; the only thing left for the evening after we were done visiting was to hear Rezin speak.

Before she took the podium, however, her young campaign manager made a few introductions before recognizing local politicians in the room.

It was election year and the place was filled with candidates running for all types of positions — judges, aldermen, mayors, IVCC Board members, etc.

Going through a list, he read off the candidates’ names and asked each one to stand to make themselves known in the room. Each recognition was followed by clapping from the polite crowd.

As he got toward the end of the list, the campaign manager suddenly stumbled upon a name before clearly calling out, “Goldie Currie of Princeton.”

The room got super quiet; no one clapped; and immediately the candidates began scanning the room for this unheard of “contender.” At the same time my parents and boyfriend busted out laughing as they pointing at me and loudly urged me to “Stand up, stand up!”

At that point, everyone in the room was looking my way. My cheeks were burning beyond belief. Evidently, at the sign-in table I had written my name down on the candidates’ list.

I’ve blacked out the seconds that followed my name being called, but I think I did a half-stand up move, and an awkward half-wave before quickly sinking deep into my chair. At that point, I wanted to just crawl under the table until everyone in the room was out of sight.

I hate being the center of attention, and I can’t stand being in front of a crowd. Being caught off guard in the middle of the crowd was definitely not a moment in life I could just brush off and laugh about. It was painfully embarrassing to me, and having my family heckling me at the same time was just the cherry on top, you could say.

Luckily, time has passed, and while I still cringe at the thought of the moment when my name accidentally came blaring over the microphone, I’m at a point in life where I can just laugh it off and accept it happened.

Perhaps it should be a reminder for when the next embarrassing moment happens. While it hurts at first, eventually time will heal the situation, and you’ll be able to own the moment, laugh about it and remind yourself it’s not the end of the world when these things happen.

Climbing the Walls Growing up on a farm in Amboy during the 1950s and early 1960s, life was simple then. Both sets of grandparents lived on farms.

Altogether, I had more than 40 aunts, uncles and cousins living in the Amboy/Dixon area. My grade school class was the last class not to be split into two classes. I believe that one year we numbered 34 kids in the classroom. Ah, yes, life was simpler then.

My great-grandparents had bought the farm back in 1895.

After her husband died in 1899, my great-grandmother raised all of their seven children. She then bought a house in town, and my grandfather paid off his six siblings to own the farm.

My parents bought a small house and had it moved to my grandparents’ farm after Dad came back home from fighting in World War II. Our house was approximately 100 yards from my grandparents’ house.

It was a wonderful place to grow up, especially when Grandma walked through the pasture and brought us her warm, fresh out-of-the-oven cinnamon rolls.

When I was 7, Dad drove our family over to a neighbor’s farm one evening. He wanted us to see something. Leading us into the

Tami McCracken Crawley COMMENTARY barn, I had no idea what to expect.

The year was 1954; Indoor plumbing had recently been installed in our house. Mom was going to have another baby that September to join my 5-year-old brother and me.

And now, Dad wanted to show us something in the neighbor’s barn.

Maybe he was going to buy me the horse I wanted!

Walking into the dimly lit barn, I could see no horse. Instead, Dad stopped and stood next to a wooden cabinet that had a large piece of glass in front and knobs for something, which was odd because there were no drawers. I was looking at what would become our first television. I had no way of knowing how much this contraption would change our lives. Our neighbor was the first to sell televisions in the Amboy area, I believe.

Before television, I can recall our family sitting near the radio and listening to shows early in the evening. I was beginning to be a

bookworm after learning how to read. I still would continue to read even after the television entered our lives.

Early television was nothing like today. First of all you looked at a black-and-white screen. Our television had a square screen, but my uncle’s TV had a round screen.

There were two channels that we could get with our outdoor antenna – NBC and CBS. It would be years before we got ABC in our area.

Back then, the programming would sign off at midnight with the National Anthem played. Now, of course, there is 24-hour programming, too many channels to count, and an overload of information.

No wonder people now worry more than ever about losing their memory. We are on brain overload.

Past generations never had to deal with the information highway. I don’t need all this information thrown at me. My brain is 68 years old. I have a lot of useless information saved. I need the news and, most important of all, watching the Chicago Cubs. But that’s another story.

Better concussion protection on the way State officials were correct to expand concussion protection to more Illinois students through legislation If area students haven’t gotten the message yet that summer vacation is nearly over, reality will soon slap them in the face.

For some, that happened when high school football practice began.

Some students look forward to going back to school. Others aren’t so sure.

But all students should appreciate legislation passed by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Bruce Rauner that offers them greater protection, not when they’re slapped in the face by reality, but when they’re hit hard in the head.

We speak of the concussions that

some high school athletes suffer during the course of games and practices.

Those brain injuries are serious business.

Unless brains are allowed to properly heal, many residual problems can afflict a concussion victim. If a second concussion is suffered before the first one has healed, the problems get worse.

A state law enacted in 2011 put into effect standards for the proper care of high school concussion victims.

The new law adds more protections. Students who suffer a concus-

sion must now get permission from a doctor or trainer before they may fully return to class or sports. That will keep them from returning too soon, before their brains have healed.

In addition, some concussion-related measures already in place in high schools were extended to elementary, middle and private schools.

And all schools are now required to create plans for dealing with concussions.

We salute the Legislature and governor for their responsible response to this serious issue.

If for no other reason, students can look forward to a new school year where the best interests of their brains will be even better protected.

would be proud of this project that is dedicated to an improvement in Henry’s Central Park. The drinking fountain will serve the community with fresh drinking water and benefit all people and many generations for years to come.

The gray concrete square pedestal drinking fountain offers dual drinking options which accommodates adults and children and is handicapped accessible. The new fountain replaced a dysfunctional water fountain. New concrete, poured in a semi-circle shape, allows ease of access to the fountain and secured the inlaid memorial stone. The blue pearl granite stone, which came from Norway, is cut in the shape of a four tier wedding cake. On the top tier is a 2014 penny, which represents the last year that Betty Sue made wedding cakes. A penny on the top tier of a wedding cake was a

trademark of Betty Sue’s cakes. The memorial stone displays the following inscription: “In memory of Betty Sue Maddex, Owner of Betty Sue’s Catering, Henry, IL. She served the community with a generous, giving spirit to all. She wanted to “make ‘em happy.” Dedicated with love by her family and friends. 2015” Betty Sue Maddex owned and operated Betty Sue’s Catering in Henry for several decades. Betty Sue became known for her catering of graduations, weddings, family reunions and other family and public events. She made many generous contributions to the community throughout this time, and she wanted and expected no recognition.

She donated food, supplies, recipes, anything and everything to anyone who asked. She became an invaluable resource for organizations, civic groups and fundraisers.

Richardson joins Teach For America’s corps NEW YORK, N.Y. — Teach For America recently announced Trevor Richardson of Princeton has been accepted into the organization’s 2015 teaching corps.

Teach For America is a national non-profit working to expand educational opportunity for students in low-income communities. Corps members commit to teach in highneed urban or rural public schools and become lifelong advocates for educational equity.

Richardson, a 2011 graduate of Princeton High School and a 2015 graduate of Valparaiso University, will teach in South Dakota.

In our country’s lowest-income communities, just 6 percent of students will graduate college by the time they’re 25. Richardson joins a network of 50,000 corps members and alumni working alongside parents, principals and communities for positive change.

“It is with incredible excitement we welcome

this group of remarkable and diverse corps members,” said Elisa Villanueva Beard, co-CEO of Teach For America. “They join a group of 50,000 leaders who have raised their hand to be part of ensuring every child has access to an excellent and equitable education.”

Over the past 25 years, thousands of talented individuals have launched or continued careers in social justice through Teach For America. Hundreds of corps members and alumni have been honored as teachers of the year by their school, district, county or state. More founders and leaders of entrepreneurial education organizations started careers with TFA than from any other organization or company. Alumni have gone on to become leaders in politics, school systems, nonprofit work, advocacy, and more. Together, they form a nationwide network helping to expand and strengthen the movement to give all kids access to a great education.

Area hospitals partner to offer OB/GYN services IVCH clinical space is now available at PMH

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Perry Memorial Hospital (PMH), Princeton, and Illinois Valley Community Hospital (IVCH), Peru, are partnering to offer obstetrical and gynecological services to women in Princeton and the surrounding area.

The partnership agreement between the two hospitals includes significantly expanded office space in the Medical Office Building at PMH where IVCH obstetrician/gynecologists Jeffrey Edwards, MD, and Mitchell Khan, DO, and certified nurse midwife Angela Reidner are receiving patients, reported Tommy Hobbs, CEO of IVCH.

This partnership also consists of offering IVCH’s four-session series of prenatal classes at PMH. The series includes Prepared Childbirth (Lamaze) classes, Breastfeeding 101 and “Baby Talk,” which covers the basics of child care and infant safety and also includes instruction in infant CPR. These classes, which are for women in their last trimester of pregnancy, will be taught every other month on four consecutive Wednesdays in Perry Memorial’s White Oak classroom beginning Aug. 19.

“Offering these classes at Perry Memorial (Hospital) will make it very convenient for soon-tobe moms in the Princeton area,” said Rex Conger, CEO of PMH.

PMH’s Rehabilitation Department will also offer aquatic therapy/exercises for OB/GYN patients in Princeton at the Bureau County Metro Center, added Conger. This is the beginning of expanded convenient services available in Princeton.

“As the providers in the IVCH Women’s Health Care Clinic at Perry feel additional services would be beneficial or necessary for their patients, those will be added as well,” added Conger, who said the renovation of the expanded space for the clinic has begun and will be done by Oct. 1.

“We are very pleased to announce this partnership and believe it will be positive for those patients who live in the western part of Bureau County by providing easy access to OB/GYN services at Perry Memorial Hospital,” said Conger.

Company breaks ground in Rochelle Greenhouse to grow 1 million pounds of salad greens ROCHELLE — New York-based BrightFarms Inc. broke ground recently on a $10 million, 160,000-square-foot hydroponic greenhouse that officials say should be up and running by early next year.

Chicagoland Greenhouse, near Bay Valley Foods, just off Interstate 88, will grow more than 1 million pounds of salad greens – kale, arugula, baby spinach, and lettuce – as well as tomatoes and basil, a year for suburban grocer Mariano’s, a division of Milwaukee-based Roundy’s Supermarkets Inc. About two dozen greenhouse jobs will be created, and more than 100 local

construction jobs, said Paul Lightfoot, BrightFarms CEO. The company has similar facilities in three other states. “Each farm is designed to conserve land, water, eliminate agricultural runoff and reduce greenhouse gas emission from transportation,” its website says.

“The food supply chain in the country today I don’t think is great,” Lightfoot said. “We are looking for a shorter supply chain that will create healthy food that is better for the environment.”

The company “wanted to come to the Chicagoland area because we wanted to partner with Mariano’s,” Lightfoot said.

“Rochelle made it easy for us to decide to come here, because this site was ready to go. Roads, sewer and power all run to this site, and it’s build-ready, which isn’t often the case.”

Lightfoot, 45, said he would like to keep some of the produce in the Rochelle area as well.

“We would love to partner with someone local.

Whether it’s a nonprofit or with schools, we love to get some of this produce in the local community,” he said.

“We’re honored BrightFarms chose to put down roots in Rochelle, and we are excited for the completion of the greenhouse,” said Chet Olson, mayor of Rochelle.

The company also has greenhouses in Bucks County, Pa.; Kansas City, Mo., and Elkwood, Va.

Health department releases scores The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department makes routine and unannounced visits each month to various food service establishments in Bureau and Putnam counties to inspect the operations.

Health inspectors use an identical scorecard at each facility, where they check for health code compliance in 45 areas. Each area carries a rating from one to five, with five being the most critical. Inspectors check the entire operations of the facility in 14 different categories, such as food protection, personnel and garbage and refuse disposal.

Beginning with a score of 100 points, the health inspector deducts one to five points for every violation. The final total is the facility’s inspection report score. A passing food inspection score is 65 or above.

At 65, the Bureau/Putnam County ordinance allows the health department to close an establishment, but a score doesn’t have to be that

Easter Seals of LaSalle and Bureau Counties changes name Agency to become Lifesteps on Sept. 1 Easter Seals of LaSalle and Bureau Counties, which has been providing services to area residents for 68 years, will change its name to Lifesteps, effective Sept. 1. It will continue to operate as a non-profit agency.

According to President/ CEO Susan Bursztynsky, services, staffing and locations will remain the same. The agency serves about 500 children each year, providing developmental screenings, evaluations and therapy to children ages birth to 3;

pediatric speech therapy; pediatric physical therapy; developmental playgroup for children 2 years of age; child care for children with and without special needs; and preschool services. In addition, the agency operates an Autism Resource Center. Therapy services are provided throughout LaSalle and Bureau counties. The developmental playgroup is offered in Princeton, Peru and Ottawa. Child care and preschool services are offered in Ottawa, as is the Autism Resource Center.

According to Tami Thomas-Leonatti, co-chair of the board of

directors, this change is part of the board’s longterm strategic planning.

It will allow the agency to make a greater local impact by keeping more of the donations and other funds that the agency receives in this area.

It will also allow more donations to be used to work toward the expansion of services.

“We are very appreciative of the strong local support that we receive and feel that this will allow us to be better stewards of our donors’ money,” said Thomas-Leonatti.

Janelle McCarter honored Janelle McCarter of Landmark Realty is the only broker from Bureau County to be named one of America’s most productive agents as a part of REAL Trends America’s Best Real Estate Agents, the newly-issued ranking report produced by REAL Trends and sponsored by Zillow Group.

To qualify for inclusion, an individual agent must have closed at least 50 transaction sides or $20 million in sales volume in 2014. For real estate agent teams, the minimum is 75 transaction sides or $30 million in closed sales volume.

“The average residential real estate agent in the United States closed fewer than eight transactions in 2014 and had less than $1.5 million in sales,” says Steve Murray, publisher of REAL Trends’ America’s Best Real Estate Agents and president of REAL Trends.

All production numbers are independently verified by a third-party in order to ensure accuracy and report integrity. This group of highly successful real estate sales agents represents less than 1 percent of all real estate practitioners in the United States.

“I am obviously pleased and honored to be ranked on this ranking of the country’s top residential real estate agents,” said McCarter. “It represents the time and effort that we put into each client that we serve and how much work it takes to build a successful real estate career.

The level of sales it takes to qualify makes it a truly special recognition.”

What will you miss?

Besides the people, I will miss the constant puzzle solving. By this I mean, as I always say, “it’s not written on their forehead what is wrong with the patient.” We always need to put together the big picture; symptoms, lab work, x-rays, etc. to figure out what is going on with a patient. With this information, we do our best to decide which care and treatment is best for our patients.

Plans after retirement? My husband John and I plan to travel more.

There is so much of the U.S. and the world we still haven’t seen. We will go to see our son, Jacob, and daughter-in-law, Aileen, in Maryland. And I plan to spend more time with my mother who is 91 years old. She is amazingly active, and I foresee I will have a difficult time keeping up with her.

PRINCETON — Defending champ St. Matthew’s has put itself in prime position to repeat in the Princeton Fastpitch Church League.

On Tuesday, Aug. 11, St. Matthew’s jumped out to a 6-0 lead after three innings and held onto to edge No. 1 seed United Methodist 10-7 at Westside Park behind winning pitcher Brad Snethen. St. Matt’s advances into Saturday’s championship game at 6 p.m.

Michael Murray led off the bottom of the first inning with a home run for St. Matt’s. Chris Waca and Matt Cochran added RBI hits to make it 3-0.

Jon Henegar hit a RBI triple and scored on a sac fly by Dayton Ince to make it 5-0 in the second.

Methodist battled back with some big bats. Jerry Lanham had a two-run hit and Bret Lasson homered in the fourth to make it 6-3.

Lasson belted another homer in the top of the sixth as UMC closed within 8-7.

St. Matthew’s tacked on two runs in the home half of the sixth on RBI hits by Josh Reinhardt and Murray.

Monday. The Uphoffs are expecting a baby boy, who will be named Beau Randall.

Savitch, who was the head volleyball coach at Ottawa from 2008-13, said the timing was right to get back into coaching at Hall.

“I have a daughter now (Gertie) who’s going to be a freshman so I guess I can justify more time in the gym, because that was really the reason I stopped coaching over in Ottawa,” said Savitch, a mother of three, who remains as a PE and driver’s ed teacher at Ottawa. “I wanted to be able to see my daughter play and my boys play. I can justify it because I’d be involved and see her play, too.”

The former Bernadette Bryant said it’s a unique situation returning to Hall, having played for the Lady Devils under coach Terry Adams and graduating in 1993. It’s not exactly a return to her alma mater, physically at least, however with the old Hall High School building now a memory just outside the comforts of the new one.

“Well, it’s really different now because of the new school,” she said. “It’s nice to feel I can volunteer my time and spend some time with the community and kids.”

The acting head coach joked she’ll have to try to get along with her new boss, Hall athletic director, Eric Bryant Jr., her younger brother.

“That might be a challenge, since we are siblings. But we tend to get along,” she said with a laugh.

Uphoff can’t wait to see how things all play out.

“I’m just excited to see what they do and have her aboard and sit back and watch,” she said.

The Lady Devils practiced for the first time in their new gym with two sessions Wednesday. They will have a Red-White Scrimmage Thursday, Aug. 20, to showcase their new gym and open the season Tuesday, Aug. 25, at Seneca. They will make their home debut two nights later against Rockridge in Three Rivers Athletic Conference play.

His Cubbies are sure putting a smile on his face. He always wanted to live long enough to see the Cubbies win the World Series, and they’re certainly playing like they want to fulfill this die-hard fan’s wishes.

Sometime over the past 50 years, Larry has either called a ball and strike or a foul against you, your child or grandchild and always done it in the fairest way. It’s your turn to make a call for Larry and send him your best wishes.

TROUBLE BATHING? NEW WALK-IN TUB AND SHOWER

BLOOMINGTON — New guidelines are in place regarding practice regulations for prep football teams statewide this fall.

The Illinois High School Association (IHSA) Board of Directors approved in June a joint recommendation from the IHSA Sports Medicine Advisory Committee and Football Advisory Committee to limit the number of hours and days each week that an IHSA member school football team is allowed to have full live contact during fullpad practices.

The Board approved two separate changes to IHSA Policy 13 - Football Policies. The first change goes into effect on the Monday preceding the first allowable regular-season football game each August (Week 8 of IHSA standardized calendar).

At that juncture, football teams will be limited to three days of live full contact per week, with a total of 90 minutes of live full contact to be used over the course of those three days. The second change allows only one practice per day to contain full live full contact when practicing two times on a single day during the preseason acclimatization period.

“These changes will have little impact on the practice plans for most high school football programs around the state of Illinois,” said Batavia High School head coach

The first day of school...it’s approaching There’s nothing quite like seeing bins of school supplies as you enter area stores to drive home the point that summer is coming to end. So kids, get ready to pack away your swim trunks and get ready to begin filling your new backpack with supplies, so you’re ready for the first homework assignment.

Area stores are stocking up for the back-to-school rush. Most schools have lists that feature what school supplies are needed for each grade level. Call your respective school or check out your school’s website for that information.

Most area schools will host their first day in a few weeks, so parents should make sure they have all necessary paperwork they need in order for their students to start school. Since each school differs, parents/guardians should call their school districts for applicable information.

To say Kid Davie is a veteran entertainer is an understatement. His professional career started 30 years ago, and his first press came when he was just 4 months old. He made The Chicago Tribune for standing in his father’s hand.

As a young man, Kid loved to watch Red Skelton, Jerry Lewis, Danny Kaye and Johnny Carson.

Then he learned that Johnny Carson got his start as a magician he jumped in with both feet. Practicing for hours and studying the

likes of Houdini and Blackstone.

Kid was also intrigued with another type of magic. The magic of mime.

Watching Marcel Marceau and Sheilds & Yarnell, he loved the illusion of creating an image or thought with nothing more than movement. In the mid ‘70s he moved to the San Francisco area and performed at Fisherman’s Warf doing street shows.

Davie presents his stage magic shows Wednesday through Friday at 6 p.m.; at 1 p.m. Saturday and Sunday; and strolls the around the fairgrounds in his sleek blue and silver robot costume everyday to make it a full day at the fair.

The dynamometer used is now owned and operated by Scott Skinkis of Brillion, Wis., and use to be the old Illinois machine for a lot of years. The dynamometer portion of this machine is built on a 1952 Flat-head Ford and is used just for the sport of horsepulling.

Although we never know

how many teams will be pulling, we hope to have a good selection of teams entered. The draft horses are primarily of the Belgian draft horse breed because of their muscular structure.

There will be a few Percherons pulling too.

draft horse show. Halter classes begin at 10 a.m. the six-horse hitch class will begin after the lunch break.

PRINCETON — The Bureau County Fair in Princeton, as part of the 160th fair, will present two concerts for the 2015 fair.

On Aug. 27, the fair will present 38 Special at 8 p.m., and on Aug. 28, the fair will present Lonestar with special guest Jo Dee Messina at 8 p.m. Tickets for all 2015 fair shows will go on sale at 9 a.m. June 6 and will be available through the fair’s website, at the fair box office or by phone order.

After more than three decades together, 38 Special continues to bring its signature blast of Southern rock to more than 100 cities a year. And at each and every show, thousands of audience members are amazed by the explosive power of the band’s performance.

With sales in excess of $20 million, most associate the band with their arena-rock pop smashes, “Hold On Loosely,” “Rockin’ Into the Night,” “Caught Up in You,” “Fantasy Girl,” “If I’d Been the One,” “Back Where You Belong,” “Chain Lightnin’,” “Second Chance” and more.

A 20-year anniversary is cause for celebration, and Lonestar is marking this career milestone in more ways than one. Reunited with original lead singer Richie McDonald, the multi-platinum country music quartet is working hard on a brand new album and embarking on an extensive anniversary tour, with more than 90 dates scheduled in North America alone.

Known for merging their country roots with strong melodies and rich vocals, Lonestar has amassed RIAA-certified sales in excess of 10 million album units since their national launch in 1995 and achieved 10 No. 1 country hits, including “No News,” “Come Crying To Me” and their crossover smash “Amazed” (which was also No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the first record since 1983’s “Islands in the Stream”

to top both charts). The band’s awards include a 1999 ACM Single of The Year for “Amazed” (the song also won the Song of the Year award) and the 2001 CMA Vocal Group of the Year.

Jo Dee Messina’s new full-length album was released March 18. The album marks Jo Dee’s most personal album to date as she wrote or co-wrote many of the

songs and will release it on her own newly established label, Dreambound Records.

Although this album is a fresh start for Jo Dee, she is no stranger to the entertainment world.

Debuting in 1996 with the hit single “Heads Carolina, Tales California,” she has charted nine No. 1 singles, 16 Top 40 singles and sold more than 5 million records worldwide.

Squash will be coming on soon. Here are some good recipes for all kinds of squash. How about trying one of these recipes for something different?

Yellow Squash Casserole 2 pounds yellow squash, sliced 1/4-inch thick 1 cup chopped onion 1/2 cup water 30 Ritz crackers (1 sleeve), crushed 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (4 ounces) 2 large eggs 3/4 cup milk 1/4 cup butter, melted, plus 2 tablespoons cold butter cut into bits 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Preheat oven to 400°. Combine squash and onion in a large heavy pot. Add water and cook, covered, until squash is tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander and transfer to a large bowl. Mix together cracker crumbs and cheese in a bowl. Stir half (about 1 cup) of cracker mixture into cooked squash and onions. Whisk together eggs and milk in separate bowl, and then add to squash mixture. Stir in 1/4 cup melted butter, salt and pepper. Spread in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cracker mixture and dot with cold butter bits. Bake until lightly browned, about 25 to 30 minutes. You can always sauté up some bacon along with the onion. This will add a lot of flavor.

Zucchini Gratin 2 tablespoons butter 1 1/2 pounds zucchini, 3 medium, diagonally cut into 1/4-inch thick slices 2 shallots, chopped 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/2 cup half and half 3/4 cup shredded Muenster cheese, about 3 ounces 2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese In large non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium high heat. Add zucchini and shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 to 12 minutes.

Sprinkle flour, salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne over vegetables mixture. Cook, gently stirring occasionally, until juices thicken and paste forms, about 1 minute.

Position broiler rack so that top of baking dish will be 4 inches from heat source.

Preheat broiler. Reduce heat to medium low; slowly stir in half and half. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup Muenster cheese until melted. Transfer zucchini mixture to ungreased 1-quart baking dish. Sprinkle with; remaining Muenster cheese, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Broil until cheese is melted and edges are golden about 1 to 2 minutes.

Zucchini Fritters 1 6-ounce container 2% Greek yogurt 2 teaspoons lime juice 1 teaspoon lime zest 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, divided 1 1/2 pounds zucchini, shredded 2/3 cup sliced scallions 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped plus more for garnish 1 egg yolk, beaten 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/4 cup canola oil Heat oven to 200°. In a small bowl, mix yogurt, lime juice, lime zest and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth. Squeeze shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel until most of the moisture is absorbed.

In medium bowl, combine zucchini, scallions, 1/2 cup cilantro, the egg, flour, remaining 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium high heat in a large sauté pan.

Judy Dyke

When shimmering, add zucchini mixture in four 1/4-cup portions. Flatten fritters with a spatula until they are 3 inches in diameter (it will require 2 batches). Cook fritters 3 minutes until browned, then flip and cook another 3 minutes. Transfer fritters to a baking sheet and place in oven to keep warm. Continue cooking fritters, adding 1 more tablespoon of oil each time. Serve with lime yogurt and garnish with remaining cilantro. Makes 12.

Golden Butternut Squash 1 butternut squash, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch chunks 1 large red onion, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick wedges 2 leeks trimmed and cut in disks 1 tablespoon oil 2 teaspoon chopped fresh marjoram Heat oven to 425°. In bowl, gently toss all ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Spread squash mixture in greased jelly roll pan. Bake 30 minutes or until squash is tender, stirring occasionally.

Zucchini Pie 1 cup shredded peeled zucchini 1 cup evaporated milk 1 egg 3 tablespoons flour 3 tablespoons oleo or butter 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 cup sugar 1 9-inch pie crust Mix ingredients in a blender. Pour into a 9-inch pie crust. Sprinkle with nutmeg and cinnamon. Bake at 450° for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350° and bake 10 more minutes. Check center. Cool and top with whipped cream.
