DeRyckes looking for another miracle By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com
ANNAWAN — Like many other girls, 5-year-old Katelyn DeRycke loves to play outside, to swing on her swingset, to go fishing and swim. She loves playing with her Barbie dolls and with her 8-year-old sister Kyla and the family puppy. She likes playing with the IPAD. But unlike most other little girls, Katelyn has some special medical challenges. As a newborn, Katelyn was diagnosed with Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease, a disease which claimed the life of her brother Noah in September 2003 when Noah was just 5 hours old. Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD) is a genetic disease, in which both parents are the carrier of the ARPKD gene. However, only 25 percent of children born to parents who are carriers will have the disease. For Adam and Hope DeRycke, they knew at 25 weeks into their pregnancy that their baby daughter had the disease. On Tuesday, Hope DeRycke talked about her daughter’s journey and challenges, and the goals she has set for her daughter. From the very start, her daughter has been a fighter, DeRycke said. When Katelyn was born, the doctors gave her a 20 percent chance of survival and asked the parents if they wanted to pursue treatment for her. But when DeRycke reached out to touch her baby, Katelyn grabbed her mother’s hand and squeezed her fingers. “I knew that was a sign that she was a fighter and that also was the sign that made our decision for us,” DeRycke said. “We knew it would be an uphill battle, and it definitely has been, but it’s a battle we were going to take.”

Bridge projects coming to county By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com
PRINCETON — Nearly $700,000 has been awarded by the state of Illinois for bridge cleaning and painting jobs in Bureau County. On Thursday, Gov. Pat Quinn announced more than $1 million in capital investments
for bridge painting projects will be done in Bureau and Putnam counties as part of the Illinois Jobs Now! plan, with three projects slated for Bureau County and one project for Putnam County. In Bureau County, the first project will be the cleaning and painting of structural steel on the bridge carrying Township Road 364 over Interstate 80, located about three

and one-third miles south of the Route 89 interchange. In Thursday’s announcement, the governor stated two bids were submitted for the Township Road 364 bridge project, with the contract awarded to Three Star Painting Inc. of Merrillville, Ind., at a bid of $283,062.
WALNUT — The Walnut Food Pantry has increased the amount of food distributed to families this summer to help handle increased food needs since children are home for the summer. On Wednesday, Director Deanna Wilt said the numbers of families and individuals served through the Walnut Food Pantry has remained fairly steady this summer, in spite of children being out of school and not having schools breakfast and lunch programs. But, because children are not in school and therefore not having breakfast and lunch options through school, the food pantry has increased some of the items distributed during the summers, like cereal and lunch meat, Wilt said. Also, to help supplement the Walnut Food Pantry during the busy summer months, the women’s group at Walnut’s First United Methodist Church has begun a support program which provides food bags for children. Each bag contains a breakfast item, lunch item, fruit, snack and juice for five days a week. Families register for the summer food bags through the Walnut Food Pantry. The food bags are picked up from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Mondays at the church, Wilt said. Looking at the need in the Walnut Township area, Wilt said the food pantry served 53 families last year, which represented 195 individuals. Of those individuals, 86 were children and four were elderly, she said. Some of those people are unemployed while others are underemployed, Wilt said. Others are working full-time but their income just isn’t making ends meet and those families need a little assistance, she said. Fortunately, the shelves at the Walnut Food Pantry are currently pretty well-stocked, Wilt said, thanks to the generosity of the supporting churches, individuals, groups and organizations. The recent Mail Carrier food collection drive in Walnut brought in a lot of items, she said. As local summer gardens grow, it would be great to get some fresh garden produce to distribute at the food pantry, Wilt added.

Katelyn From Page 1 Two days after Katelyn was born, she had her first kidney removed, with the second kidney removed just days later. Katelyn spent her first 45 days in OSF St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria and was put on peritoneal dialysis, which her parents were trained to handle at home. At 2 months, Katelyn began having seizures and had a stroke, DeRycke said. Her vision has been damaged, but the extent of that damage is undetermined as of yet. When she was 13 months old, Katelyn underwent a kidney transplant, receiving a 40-year-old kidney from her aunt. Fortunately, her daughter’s kidney transplant went well and Katelyn went nine months without having any hospital stays, which is the longest she’d ever gone without being hospitalized, DeRycke said. But since that good stretch, Katelyn has been hospitalized more than 20 times due to infections, DeRycke said. Doctors have determined the bile ducts leading from Katelyn’s liver are becoming more and more deformed, causing the bile to back up and stay in the liver, causing infections.

Sisters Katelyn DeRycke (left) and Kyla DeRycke enjoy a fun day outdoors at their rural Annawan home. Kyla will be in third grade this fall at Annawan Grade School and Katelyn will tentatively be in kindergarten, depending on when she gets her needed liver transplant. The girls are the daughters of Adam and Hope DeRycke. Since April, Katelyn has been on a new medicine which has helped with her reoccurring infections, DeRycke said. The doctors say her daughter is now strong enough for a liver transplant and now is the time to do it. The new medicine is just a band aid until a liver is found for Katelyn, her mother said.
West Peru Street • Princeton, IL www.browningdealerships.com
Actually, Katelyn doesn’t need an entire new liver, but just one of the two lobes that comprise the liver, DeRycke said. The remaining lobe will regenerate itself for the donor and new lobe grow for Katelyn. Ideally, the surgery can be scheduled while Katelyn is healthy and not be an emergency situation, her mother said. More information on
liver donation is available through Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee, Wis., by calling 1-414955-6952, the direct line for transplant information. A donor for Katelyn must be 55 years or younger and have type O type blood. The DeRyckes have also set up a Facebook page, Katelyn’s ARPKD Journey, to keep everyone current on how
Katelyn is doing. For now, the family is taking it one day at a time, DeRycke said. “I’d love to plan a big vacation right now, but we need to stay nearby if we get that call that Katelyn has a donor, “ DeRycke said. “We need to be here to get that chance for Katelyn to live a normal life.” Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

Two local leaders recognized by the state By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com
PRINCETON – Two local emergency preparedness leaders have received state recognition for their roles in the Bureau Putnam County Emergency Preparedness Community Partners (BPEPCP) coalition. BPEPCP co-chairs Deb Wood and Lisa Clinton were honored at the Integrated Public Health and Medical Preparedness Summit for coordinating the year’s most creative emergency preparedness exercise in the state. The mock disaster drill took place in May 2012 and involved numerous countywide resources, agencies and emergency responders. Two simulated flooding disaster evacuations took place at the same time on opposite sides of the county – one at Walnut Manor and the other in the village of DePue. The drill tested the abilities of Bureau and Putnam counties’ resources as a plan to deal with two disasters at the same time was developed and acted out. “They were impressed we were able to accomplish both the mock evacuation of a nursing home and the evacuation with DePue and include a simulated water born illness situation,” Clinton said. At the summit, a state official mentioned how the formation of Bureau and Putnam counties’ coalition was a model

St. Margaret’s Director of Occupation Health and Safety Lisa Clinton (left) and Perry Memorial Hospital’s Safety Director and EMS Coordinator Deb Wood, co-chairs of the Bureau Putnam County Emergency Preparedness Community Partners, were awarded at the Integrated Public Health and Medical Preparedness Summit for most creative drill/exercise of the year. The two organized and executed a unique bi-county full-scale drill which occurred simultaneously in two separate communities on opposite ends of Bureau County. program for others. The coalition is a unique formation that even counties with greater populations and resources have not yet accomplished. Wood and Clinton feel a sense of pride for all the achievements BPEPCP has met just within its three years of being together. “By winning this award, it shows that we were doing the right thing in preparing,” Clinton said. Before the formation of the coalition, Clinton and Wood said it was recognized that the county, being rural and spread out, had to find some way to combine resources and contacts to provide a more efficient response
team when disasters struck. They said it only made sense to combine as many agencies possible when putting together big production drills to make them each worthwhile. “We have to have those relationships built before the big ones hit,” Clinton said. “The relationships you’ve built ahead of time will prosper and are priceless.” Wood admits five years ago, before the coalition, the county was not on the level of cooperation as it is now. “I just tend to be amazed every time we get together and do something ... with every exposure we grow,” she said.
“It’s truly an ‘I’ll scratch your back if you scratch my back.’ We are partners.” The coalition is made up of emergency management, nursing homes, home care, mental health, churches, fire, EMS, police, search and rescue, schools and more. “Each time a new person comes to the table, they bring something new to the group and it’s just neat to see,” Clinton said. The coalition tries to host one big mock disaster production a year. “We try to alternate our locations every year so that we do get to work with different fire departments, villages and EMS providers,” Clinton said. “We’re hoping to spread the knowledge a little bit further each time.” Wood said after a completed drill, each agency is able to learn a little more about one another and their capabilities. “I know I’ve gained new respect for the partners when I see them functioning in their mode,” she said. Besides co-chairing the BPEPCP, Wood is the EMS coordinator at Perry Memorial Hospital where she has been for 13 years; Clinton has worked for St. Margaret’s Hospital for 26 years and currently holds the position of occupational health and safety director.

The Census Bureau has released its latest estimates of the number of housing units in the country, and the fastest growing area might surprise some people. According to the State and County Housing Unit Estimates: July 1, 2012, the fastest growing county in the United States was Williams County, N.D. Williams County was the only county in the nation to show a double digit percentage increase, growing from 10,464 housing units to 2010 to 12,493 in 2012, a 19.4 percent increase. Williams County was followed by Sumter County, Fla., Hays County, Texas, and Ward County, N.D. North Dakota had
three of the top seven fastest growing counties. According to a recent report from the U.S. Commerce Department, North Dakota is the fastest-growing state in the country thanks to its energy boom in the oil-rich Bakken formation. Nationally, the number of housing units in the country increased from 131.8 million in 2010 to 132.5 million in 2012. In Illinois, the number actually decreased, falling more than 1,000 units from 5,296,420 in 2010 to 5,295,329 in 2012. Locally, the number of housing units in Bureau County also fell, dropping from 15,720 in 2010 to 15,680 in 2012. No Illinois counties were on the list of the 100 fastest growing counties with 5,000 or more housing units. Comment on this story at www. bcrnews.com.

When lightning strikes... By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com
PRINCETON – Sitting out on the porch watching the storm roll in can be a summertime delight for some, but people should keep in mind the dangers and damages lightning can cause within seconds. Kris Donarski of the Bureau County Emergency Services and Disaster Administration (ESDA) said many people express their fears of tornadoes and hurricanes, but each year more people are injured or killed by lightning than any other severe types of weather. “It’s really important to remember when the thunder roars, go indoors,” she said. Donarski reminded lightning can strike up to 10 miles from a thunderstorm. She said often times, when people hear the storm rumbling from a distance, they believe it’s safe to finish whatever they’ll doing before the rain comes in and forget they are still at risk of getting struck. “The storm doesn’t
Lightning safety tips • Look out for darkening skies, flashes of light or increasing wind. Listen for the sound of thunder. • If thunder is near, a person is close enough to the storm to be struck by lightning. Get to a safe shelter immediately. • Listen to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio or television for the latest weather forecasts. • Unplug appliances. Avoid using the telephone or any electrical appliances. • Avoid having to run water in the home or taking a bath or shower. • Turn off the air conditioner. Power surges from lightning can overload the compressor, resulting in a costly repair job. • Draw blinds and shades over windows. If windows break due to objects blown by the wind, the shades will prevent glass from shattering into the home. • If caught outside during a thunderstorm and cannot reach a safe building, avoid high ground, water, tall, isolated trees and metal objects such as fences or bleachers. Picnic shelters, dugouts and sheds are not safe. Source: American Red Cross
have to be overhead to be at risk of getting hit by lightning,” she said. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), lightning injures an average of 300 people and causes
about 80 fatalities each year. People struck by lightning can suffer permanent injuries or longterm symptoms including memory loss, sleep disorders, chronic pain, numbness, dizziness, irritability, weakness,
fatigue, depression and others. Lori Compton of Bureau County Red Cross urges families to review basic lightning safety tips to keep their families safe, especially with the recent severe weather and storms the county has experienced. If caught out in a storm, take shelter inside the nearest building. Donarski reminded that in a garage with the door up is not considered a safe shelter. According to a press release issued by the American Red Cross, it’s important to clear everyone out of the water when swimming at the first sound of thunder or first sight of lightning. The National Lightning Safety Institute recommends waiting 30 minutes after the last lightning sighting or sounds of thunder before resuming activities. If someone is struck by lightning, check for burns and other injuries. If a person has stopped breathing, call 9-1-1 and begin CPR. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.
The second approved Bureau County project is the cleaning and painting of structural steel on the bridge carrying Township Road 322 over Interstate 80, located about one and one-half miles east of the Interstate 180 interchange. Three bids were submitted for the project, with Three Star Painting Inc. of Merrillville, Ind., receiving the contract with a bid of $211,375. The final Bureau County bridge project is for the cleaning and painting of structural steel on the bridge carrying Route 6 over East Bureau Creek, about one and one-third miles east of the Interstate 180 interchange. Again Three Star Painting Inc. of Merrillville, Ind., received the contract, with a bid of $200,000. Three bids were received for the project. In neighboring Putnam County, Three Star Painting Inc. was again awarded the contract, for the cleaning and painting of structural steel on the bridge carrying Route 26 over Interstate 180. Two bids were submitted, with the Indiana company having the winning bid of $377,999. In making the
Pantry From Page 1 In addition to food donations, the community has also been generous with its financial donations, Wilt said. When asked to what she credits the success of the food pantry, Wilt said she thinks being a faith-based ministry has helped a lot. For now, the food pantry even has enough volunteers to handle the stocking of shelves and helping with patrons, Wilt said. There is even a short waiting list of people willing to volunteer at the food pantry. Because the food pantry space is small, there is room for only so many people to work in the room, she said. On a personal note,
announcement, Quinn said the $31 billion Illinois Jobs Now! program is the largest capital construction program in Illinois history and is one of the largest capital construction programs in the nation. The Illinois Jobs Now! program has also supported more than 439,000 jobs during the past six years, the governor said. The Illinois Department of Transportation will manage the projects. On Friday, IDOT District 3 engineer technician Ken Haage said the two bridge projects on Interstate 80 in Bureau County are scheduled to begin next spring. The work on the bridge on Route 6 is expected to begin in mid-September, weather permitting, and should be completed in about one month from the project start date. As far as whether those projects will mean road closures for motorists, it’s too soon to tell, the IDOT engineer technician said. “If we can avoid a lane closure, we try to do that,” Haage said. “We will have a better idea next month.” Under normal conditions, paint jobs on bridges should generally last between 15 and 20 years, Haage said. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.
Wilt said the Walnut Food Pantry is something which she and the other organizers have felt called by God to do. “One of the things God tells us to do is to provide for people who don’t have enough,” Wilt said. “I think everyone who works with the food pantry, or contributes to it, feels that this is something that is very worthwhile.” Established in April 2005, the Walnut Food Pantry is a joint outreach effort of the churches in the Walnut Township areas. Open hours are from 5 to 6 p.m. Thursdays. To qualify for the services of the Walnut Food Pantry, persons must live within Walnut Township and have a financial need.

The weather — it can drive you nuts! Do you have something that drives you crazy and you can’t do anything about it? I think we all have something, but for my husband, it is the weather. Many people know my husband, and they would say that he is a great guy ... and, by the way, he is a great guy. Few would say there is anything that drives him crazy; that’s how easy-going he is. But for him, the weather is the thing that drives him absolutely NUTS! Every season of the year has its attributes that cause him to react. Let’s start COMMENTARY with the spring. Spring ... the time of awakening and renewal. But there are parts of spring that cause my spouse, well, to go wacko. The first of those is the wind. He hates the wind. The wind, according to him, is always blowing in the spring. I quote, “It blows 40 mph every day; I hate the wind.” The second of those things is rain; he really hates rain. Over a recent holiday weekend, when it pretty much rained every day, he was going to get a new passport. I asked him why. I was told it didn’t rain in the Sahara Desert, and that he was moving there. That is his newest destination to avoid the rain. There have been several others. He was going to move to Arizona, but then he discovered that the wind blows frequently in Arizona, so that destination was ruled out. When he mentioned wanting a new passport, I was thinking something entirely different than the Sahara Desert — I thought Bermuda or some other tropical paradise would be a great destination. I was told that it rained too much in those types of places. Drat — I saw myself with a little umbrella drink in hand, sitting with my toes in the sand, writing a new column for the BCR. One can always dream! As we move into summer, it is supposed to be hot! If we have one of those summers, like we have had a few times in the past, when the thermometer does not climb as high as my husband thinks it should, then he is moving to some unknown place that is hotter, and of course, drier. For a few years, he was going to Death Valley. I don’t know if there actually is a place called Death Valley, but that was my husband’s destination when the weather was not as warm as he thought it should be. My vision of the unknown Death Valley is that it would be full of rattlesnakes and other not very pleasant creatures. I am not a fan of snakes. I assume there is warm sand there, but not exactly “the beach.” As the days get shorter and summer winds down, we look toward fall. Fall is, according to my husband, supposed to last until at least November. That means we are supposed to have those golden days of autumn every day until the beginning of November. You know what I am talking about — those golden fall days when the temperature drops to about 50 at night, but the sun every day warms the air to that glorious 70-degree mark. Those days that bring the wonderful fall colors, but of course, the wind is not supposed to blow, so that beautiful leaves just stay on the trees for all of us to enjoy. When Mother Nature does not cooperate by bringing those blissful fall days, my husband believes we are going directly from summer to winter, no fall, no glorious days, no 70 degrees, no, no, no. He doesn’t plan on moving during the fall, but he still wants those golden days he dreams of. Lastly, we get winter. Surprisingly, winter seems to be the least offensive of the seasons. I guess we are all, including my husband, when living in Central Illinois programmed for crummy weather in the winter. He doesn’t seem to mind the snow or

Days of thunder I attended a masculine, macho, testosterone-fueled gathering recently. An event where only the most manly of men dare to show their rugged, brawny faces. That’s right, I went to my daughter’s Girl Scout Powderpuff Pinewood Derby race and picnic. For those of you unfamiliar with what a Pinewood Derby race is, allow me to explain. In this particular case, all the little girls in my daughter’s troop were given a Pinewood Derby kit that they were to assemble and decorate with a supervising adult. The kit consists of a block of wood (presumably pine), four plastic wheels and four small, silver nails, hereafter referred to as “axles.” The supervising adult helps to shape and paint the car and apply the wheels and “axles” so the little girls don’t hurt themselves or have to have a turpentine bath. The girls then all gather together to show and race their cars. Afterward, trophies are handed out for the fastest cars and the Best of Show. Then you eat hot dogs, hamburgers, pasta salad and brownies. If you ever want to see a group of guys on edge, try attending a Pinewood Derby race with a bunch of dads. I watched as they stood around the display table prior to the race. I can compare it to a group of NASCAR owners pacing along pit row before the Daytona 500. They all discussed among themselves what kind of band saw they used to rough out the shape of their car, how many coats of primer and sealer they had used to paint it, and where they placed the weights on the car to bring it up to the 5 ounce weight limitation. Most of all they talked about the amount of hours they spent sanding and polishing the aforementioned “axles” to get them to a glass-like finish and just what brand of graphite to use to make those “axles” even faster. They were all nervously sizing up the competition. No father wants his little girl to lose. He wants all the other fathers’ little girls to lose. I am proud to say that I was not a part of this high-strung group. Nope, I didn’t have a care in the world at that time. In fact, I was much more concerned about the hamburgers. They smelled really good. You’re probably wondering to yourself why I was so calm, cool and collected. Well, this was not my first Pinewood Derby. No, I have a long history of building little cars out of wood and I was fairly sure about how my daughter’s car would perform that afternoon. I did some mathematics this past week. That may not seem like a big deal to most of you but keep in mind, I was an art major. In the year 1973, I was in my first year of Cub Scouts and my dad and I made our first Pinewood Derby car. For means of fulldisclosure, it was actually a truck. It was yellow and red with skyblue windows. I can still picture it majestically sitting atop the Pinewood Derby track. Words alone cannot come close to describing
its beauty. In my first heat of my first Pinewood Derby race, my yellow truck streaked out to the lead of the other three cars in the heat and barely held on for the win. Now you should know that in the world of competitive Pinewood Derbying, the races are based on a triple-elimination basis. As long as you win, you’re okay and you get to keep racing. As soon as you don’t win three times, you’re done. With that first win under my Cub Scout belt, I was on top of the world. I was unstoppable. But just to be on the safe side, before my next race, I decided to squirt some more graphite on the “axles.” In my mind, my yellow truck would only become faster. But for some unknown reason, maybe it was a chemical reaction, atmospheric conditions, or as I have claimed throughout the years, dastardly sabotage, my truck got slower. In fact, when they dropped the starting gate on my next race, Old Yeller just sat there while all the other cars roared down the track. That first win would prove to be my last. Throughout the rest of my Cub Scout career, I would never again experience victory as I would always be three races and out. And then my son became a blue and gold neckerchief wearer. I thought that this would be my chance for redemption. But alas, in all his years of scouting, although we took home trophies for Best of Show, our cars were always out after three races. Now here we were, on a breezy Saturday afternoon in 2013, 40 years after my first taste of Pinewood defeat. Yeah, I was pretty sure how my daughter’s car would perform. I joked to my wife that the car would probably go faster if we would have left it in the box. But I kept a smile glued on my face as my little girl proudly approached the starting line with her hot pink car. It may be wrong, but I prayed as they dropped the starting gate.
the ice or even the winter wind. His only requirement is that the winter season needs to end by the beginning of March. But that, of course, if winter doesn’t end as it should on time, then it is too cold for spring. So you see, the season isn’t winter — it is the beginning of spring that is all wrong. My husband, as I said, is a great guy. He knows everyone, and everyone knows him. He is friendly, fun and caring. He worked hard for many years,
Greg Wallace FROM THE SKETCHBOOK On the way to the race, I explained to my daughter that winning wasn’t everything. I told her that she probably shouldn’t expect to win and that she should just try to have fun. She assured me that she would be happy no matter what the outcome. As her car finished in third-place, I realized that my daughter is a little bit of a liar. The steely glare that she gave me, made me realize that happiness was not on the menu. As she sullenly sat on the park bench waiting for her next race, I could tell she was determining the type of nursing home she was going to place me in someday. As she approached the starting line for her second race, I was trying to figure out my escape plan. Her car might not have been the fastest but I was pretty sure she could pummel me with it. As the cars started down the hill, I silently said another prayer. Through my squinted eyelids, I saw a flash of hot-pink cross the finish line in first place. We had done it! The curse was over! Four decades of defeat were in my rearview mirror! I might get to go to a slightly nicer nursing home! When the day was over, she ended up winning one more heat before ultimately ending up in the top seven cars. I don’t think she truly understands what those two wins represent, but I do. The 40 years of shame and humiliation that I brought upon the House of Wallace were over. It was a good day. And the hamburgers were delicious. You can contact Wallace at gwallace@bcrnews.com.

retired to babysit our first grandchild, and takes care of me and many things around our house. His obsession with the weather — it entertains me. Too bad there is nothing that can be done about it — I would love to have every day sunny, wind free, and 80 degrees. Just the right weather to play golf, you know!

Annual Drinking Water Quality Report Source of Drinking Water
SHEFFIELD IL0110950 Annual Water Quality Report for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2012 This report is intended to provide you with important information about your drinking water and the efforts made by the water system to provide safe drinking water. The source of drinking water used by SHEFFIELD is Ground Water For more information regarding this report contact: Name

Source Water Assessment
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pickup substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: - Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. - Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. - Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses. - Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems. - Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. We cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
We want our valued customers to be informed about their water quality. If you would like to learn more, please feel welcome to attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. The source water assessment for our supply has been completed by the Illinois EPA. If you would like a copy of this information, please stop by City Hall or call our water operator at __________________. To view a summary version of the completed Source Water Assessments, including: Importance of Source Water; Susceptibility to Contamination Determination; and 815-454-2629 documentation/recommendation of Source Water Protection Efforts, you may access the Illinois EPA website at http://www.epa.state.il.us/cgi-bin/wp/swap-fact-sheets.pl. To determine Sheffield's susceptibility to groundwater contamination, the following document was reviewed: a Well Site Survey, published in 1994 by the Illinois EPA. Based on the information obtained in this document, there are 19 potential sources of groundwater contamination that could pose a hazard to groundwater utilized by Sheffield's community water supply. These include 1 auto body shop, 1 salvage yard, 1 above ground fuel storage tank, 2 fertilizer warehouses, 2 pesticide warehouses, 2 wells (now properly plugged), 3 auto repair shops, 3 manufacturing processes, and 4 below ground fuel storage tanks. However, the facility has indicated that Dave's Sunoco and Looten Standard have had their tanks removed. In addition, information provided by the Leaking Underground Storage Tank and Remedial Project Management Sections of the Illinois EPA indicated sites with on-going remediation that might be of concern.Based upon this information, the Illinois EPA has determined that the Sheffield Community Water Supply's source water is susceptible to contamination. As such, the Illinois EPA has provided 5-year recharge area calculations for the wells. The land use within the recharge areas of the wells was analyzed as part of this susceptibility determination. This land use includes residential, commercial and agricultural properties.

Barbara Lukancic, right, receives congratulations from IVSO Conductor Lucia Matos.
IVSO recognizes Barbara Lukancic
OTTAWA — Barbara Lukancic was honored for her 50-year association with and dedication to the Illinois Valley Symphony Orchestra at the IVSO’s annual wine tasting event in May. Lukancic has continuously demonstrated remarkable spirit and perseverance to further the IVSO going into her 50th season. In providing an everlasting tribute to her for her invaluable service, the IVSO will raise funds to endow the Principal Oboe Chair in her name. Donations and pledges collected as part of this campaign in her name will go to the IVSO Endowment Fund. Music has always been a part of Lukancic’s life. Hearing her maternal grandfather, who had a one-man band and traveled the area to perform, hearing her father and grandfather talk about Maud Powell in 1949 on one of the first reel to reel tape recorders made at Eicore in Oglesby, listening to her sister’s beautiful voice as she starred in the LaSalle-Peru High School operettas and then went on to study voice, asking to play saxophone in seventh grade, then adding oboe as a freshman at L-P High School and eventually English horn. Her career choice led her to graduate from St. Francis School of Nursing and work as an assistant clinical instructor with the school. There she met and married Dr. Louis P. Lukancic. They spent the next two years in Marquette, Mich., in the U.S. Air Force where their two sons were born. After moving to Spring Valley, where her husband joined a medical practice, Barbara saw an opportunity to return to her instrumental playing because there was an orchestra in the area. In 1963 she played her first concert with the IVSO. During the following years she had four more children, all daughters, but man-
aged to keep her musical avocation of playing with and working for the orchestra. She has served on the IVSO board for two different six-year terms, during which she was secretary and president, been an active member of the original Symphony Women’s Association and the current IV Symphony Guild, organized a symphony ball, performed at fundraisers and other community affairs. As part of a woodwind quartet, which included Ray Makeever and John Kinnison, she performed Mozart’s Symphony Concertante with the IVSO. After playing for over a period of 30 years, as the family schedule would allow, she had to quit because of her hands. Since 1995 she has been personnel manager and gradually assumed many other duties to become the general manager, a position she currently holds. As general manager she is responsible for many of the functions of the orchestra. In 1999, Lukancic was presented with the Illinois Council of Orchestra’s Volunteer of the Year Award. Because of the Illinois Valley Symphony Orchestra, she has had the opportunity to keep her musical interest alive, meet many wonderful talented people, and encourage the community to enjoy this great cultural treasure. The time devoted to support the orchestra has only been accomplished because of an encouraging and supportive husband and an understanding family, which now includes nine grandchildren. Her children are Dr. Louis R. Lukancic, Dr. Steven Lukancic, Dr. Mary Lukancic Salvino, Paula Lukancic, Catherine Lukancic Heanue and Carolyn Lukancic Hopkins. Her grandchildren are Emma, Sarah, Peter, Oscar, Eli, Catie, Hannah, Sammy and Grace.

Running for Nancy Jo Olds-Bohm 5K set for July 13 WYANET — The fifth annual Nancy Jo OldsBohm 5K run/walk will be held July 13, and will carry on the tradition of benefiting local nonprofit organizations. “The race serves as an opportunity for us to honor our friend, Nancy, who died of breast cancer 6 years ago, while raising money for two good causes – ultimately giving back to the community,” said Karen Russell, race director. “The NJOB 5K committee will donate all race proceeds this year to the Believe Foundation and the Wyanet Community Club.” The Believe Foundation was founded in Princeton in 2008 with a mission to provide patients with customized wigs and makeup application to hide the effects of cancer and other diseases. When the organization first started they provided 2-3 wigs per month. This past year they provided on average 7 wigs per month to individuals of all ages from BCR photo/Becky Kramer the Bureau, LaSalle and Putnam counties.

support in the Village of Wyanet. The Nancy Jo OldsBohm Event was started by four of Nancy’s Wyanet High School girlfriends – Margaret DeVenney, Julie Farraher, Lori Graham and Karen Russell. “Nancy was always active with the Wyanet Summer Festival. We wanted to continue her legacy while helping others in the area at the same time,” said Russell. The event consists of the 5K run/walk, a 1 mile memory walk, kids’ fun run and raffles. In the first four years of the Event, the NJOB committee has been able to donate over $21,000. Raffle tickets will be sold in advance and on the day of the race for the following items: first prize — an overnight stay at Embassy Suites plus dinner at a fine dining restaurant in Peoria; second prize — six months of wellness massages along with infra red sauna sessions at Sophisticuts Salon & Spa (a $345 value); and third prize — 4 Peoria Chief tickets plus a gift certificate to a local pub. These tickets are available at the Wyanet Locker.
Before, during and after the race the public is invited to view an assortment of additional raffle items such as wine baskets, a pedal pull trailer from TCI & Kory Farm Equipment, Anytime Fitness six-month membership, various gift certificates, Precious Moments and Longaberger items. Tickets for these items may be purchased on the day of the race under the Wyanet Park Pavilion. Winners will be drawn following the race. The race will start and end at the Wyanet Memorial Park. The course loops through the streets and is fast with mostly flat terrain and only a few gentle hills. The race is electronically timed and features water stations, splits at the first and second mile markers and refreshments after the race. The kids fun run will be held immediately following the 5K and consists of a half block run that is electronically timed. Customized T-shirts are guaranteed to all participants who register by this Monday. Race

Changes abound for 2013 football schedule By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com
Changes will abound for the 2013 football season. A look at the schedules released by the IHSA this week comes with a lot of changes with all four Bureau County schools all playing in the new Three Rivers conference this season. Princeton is paired with Hall, St. Bede and Kewanee along with former West Central counterparts Orion, Rockridge and Sherrard in the Three Rivers South Division. Bureau Valley and Amboy/ LaMoille are a part of the North Division with Erie/Prophetstown,
Fulton, Morrison, Newman and Riverdale. Princeton will renew acquaintances with longtime rivals Kewanee (Week 5, Sept. 27) and Hall (Week 9, Oct. 25) while starting up a new one with St. Bede (Week 4, Sept. 20). The 2013 schedule will find the Tigers kicking off at Morrison on Aug. 30, hosting Newman (Sept. 6) and Sherrard (Sept. 13) for Weeks 2 and 3, returning home for Week 6 vs. Fulton (Oct. 4) and traveling to Orion (Oct. 11) and Rockridge (Oct. 18) for Weeks 7-8.

Weather challenges reflected in crop report WASHINGTON, D.C. – The June World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report released June 12 by the Agriculture Department reflects the slow corn planting season across much of the Corn Belt due to snow, rain and cool weather, according to analysis by the American Farm Bureau Federation. Ninety-five percent of this year’s corn crop was planted as of June 9 (only 92 percent in Iowa), but later-planted corn faces the risk of pollination during seasonally warmer temperatures and drier weather expected in late July, which could reduce the yield. June’s WASDE report projected 156.5 bushels per acre for 2013, down 1.5 bushels per acre from May. Although reduced by 135 million bushels to slightly above 14 billion bushels, corn production, if realized, would still be record setting. The report also reduced projected corn use by 70 million bushels. AFBF economist Todd Davis said the WASDE report still predicts ending stocks to build significantly over the 2012-13 marketing year levels. “June’s WASDE projects corn stocks are greater
Everyone talks about the weather, and for good reason. We are mired in a wet cycle; the research center has received nearly 4 inches of rain this week. While moisture is needed for a good crop, (let’s not forget 2012) there can be too much of a good thing. The saturated soil effects on our current crop can range from stunting to death of corn and soybean in severely ponded situations. When our growing season is wet we often associate that with an increase in plant disease incidence. An issue last experienced in 2011 in our northern Illinois corn crop was Goss’s Bacterial Wilt and Leaf Blight. Commonly referred to as Goss’s wilt, this disease is spread by bacteria that must enter plants through wounds like those caused by hail, heavy rains or high winds. The first case of Goss’s wilt in 2013 was confirmed by the Illinois plant clinic this past week. The corn sample was submitted from Piatt County in east central Illinois, but with this news corn growers in northern Illinois should remain diligent. There are no in-season control options for Goss’s wilt infection. Foliar fungicides are ineffective on the bacterial disease. Farmers in northern Celebrating 20 years Illinois have a great opportunity to learn about Goss’s wilt and other diseases at the Northern Illinois Agronomy Day on July 10, at the Northern Illinois Agronomy Research
than the pre-report estimates, which reflects negatively on the corn market,” said Davis. “The projected increase in stocks will cause marketing-year prices to drastically fall to $4.80 per bushel for the 2013-14 marketing year compared to $6.95 per bushel in the 2012-13 year.” The report showed no change in planted or harvested acres for corn or soybeans as the World Agricultural Outlook Board, who publishes the WASDE, waits for the release of the acreage survey, on June 28. “Trade projections are that about 2 million acres will not be planted to corn this year due to the late season rains and unusually cold weather,” said Davis. “Instead, it is expected that soybean planted acres will increase as farmers plant the crop instead of late planted corn.” U.S. soybean ending stocks are also still expected to more than double from 125 million bushels in the 2012-13 marketing year to 265 million bushels in 2013-14. The increase will drop the 2013-14 projected soybean price to $10.80 per bushel, down from $14.35 in the 201213 marketing year.
Wheat report released SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Field Office of NASS released the USDA’s June Crop Production Report June 12. In Illinois, the wheat yield for the 2013 crop is estimated to average 64 bushels per acre based on the June 1 surveys, up one bushel from the May 1 forecast and up one bushel from last year. Total production would be 51.2 million bushels, an increase of 26 percent from the 2012 production of 40.6 million bushels. Farmers expect to harvest 800,000 acres for grain this year, 155,000 more than in 2012. As of June 9, 68 percent of the wheat crop was filled, compared the five-year average of 87 percent. Thirty-nine percent of the crop was turning yellow, compared to the five-year average of 58 percent. Nationally, winter wheat production is forecast at 1.51 billion bushels, up 2 percent from the May 1 forecast but down 8 percent from 2012. Based on June 1 conditions, the United States yield is forecast at 46.1 bushels per acre, up 0.7 bushel from last month but down 1.1 bushels from last year. As of June 2, 32 percent of the winter wheat crop in the

Bureau Valley FFA attends state convention SPRINGFIELD – More than 3,000 Illinois FFA high school students – including 11 members of the Bureau Valley FFA chapter – participated in the 2013 Illinois State FFA Convention at the Prairie Capital Convention Center in Springfield. The 85th annual convention featured a “Growing Legacies” theme inspired by the 2012-13 Illinois State FFA Officer team. The convention celebrated the events of the year and included motivational speakers, recognition of individual and chapter achievement, and election of a new state officer team. BV FFA member Susan Brummel was recognized on stage during the first convention session as the State Proficiency winner in the area of Agricultural Mechanics Design and Fabrication. Her application will move on to the national level for judging. Retiring chapter reporter Michael Lotspeich and newly-elected reporter Lauren Peterson were also recognized on stage during the fifth general session for placing gold in the state with their chapter scrapbook. During the convention, FFA members heard from motivational speaker Sam Glen, served as ushers,
heard speeches from the five retiring state officers, participated in business sessions, and toured downtown Springfield. Samantha Haney participated in the 50-member state FFA band playing first chair clarinet during the convention. As a member of the state FFA band, Samantha had an opportunity to audition for the National FFA Band and was recommended. The National FFA Band performs during the National Convention held in Louisville, Ky., at the end of October. After being recommended, Samantha has to create an audition tape, prepare an application and gain recommendation from her band instructor. Finally the national band director will review all applicants before selecting those that will perform. This will be Samantha’s second time participating in the National FFA Band. During the sixth and final general session of the convention, Andrew Smith, Thomas Monier and Lauren Peterson received their state FFA degrees. The degree is the highest degree which the state association can award their members. In order to qualify for the degree, a member must
