Sheriff race yet to be decided Only 18 votes separate Beaber and Shipp

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The 21 Republican absentee ballots floating around for Bureau County’s primary election could impact the outcome of Tuesday night’s unofficial outcome in the sheriff’s race.

Republican candidate Allan Beaber ended the night just ahead of opponent Jim Shipp by 18 votes.

With all 50 precincts counted, the final tallies showed Beaber with 1,317 votes; Shipp with 1,299 votes; Alex Arauza with 591 votes; and Bill Rosenow with 535 votes.

Beaber spent his night surrounded by family and friends at the Princeton Elks Club. During what seemed like a long wait for the final results to come in, Beaber admitted to being nervous about the results.

His relief came shortly after seeing the final results tallies just shortly after 10 p.m.

“I never expected it to be a big blowout,” he said Wednesday morning. “I always thought it would be a close race with my opponents. They all had a lot to offer, as far as their qualifications for sheriff, and it was going to be close either way.”

Bureau County Sheriff Republican candidate Allan Beaber, along with his wife, Terri, and fellow friends and family gather around a laptop at the Princeton Elks Club Tuesday evening. The crowd helped cheer Beaber along with his close race with opponent Jim Shipp.

The two currently stand 18 votes from one another, with Beaber in the lead. There are still 21 Republican absentee ballots that could determine the outcome of the sheriff’s race.

With the thought of absentee ballots still lingering in the air, Beaber has optimistic thoughts on how they will weigh the outcome.

Remembering Mark Actis Sr. Marini: He served Spring Valley well

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — Mark Actis Sr. of Spring Valley is being remembered for his outgoing, friendly personality and willingness to give a hand whenever and wherever it was needed.

Actis died on Sunday evening at St. Margaret’s Hospital in Spring Valley. He was currently serving as Third Ward Alderman for the city of Spring Valley and was

an active member of the Spring Valley Walleye Club.

Before Monday’s city council meeting, Mayor Walt Marini called attention to the empty ward seat and announced the passing of the alderman. A rose marked his placed at the table.

“We had the honor of working with him over the past year,” he said.

“He served the ward and city of Spring Valley well.”

them, but a lot of times there’s not many that come in after an election is over,” he said.

All absentee ballots have to be postmarked the day before

the election, according to Bureau County Clerk Kami Hieronymus. She said it will take about 10-14 days before official results are in and tallied.

If Beaber holds his

lead, his next step in the race for sheriff entails taking a short break from campaigning, before gearing up again for the general election this November. Beaber will

face Democratic candidate Jim Reed, who ran unopposed in the primary election and received 978 votes.

Yates-Mabry wins treasurer’s nomination She will face off against Democrat Rick Wilkin in November

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Republican candidate Courtney Yates-Mabry has snagged her seat in the general election race for treasurer this November.

She beat out Republican opponent Derek Whited in Tuesday’s primary election with 2,287 votes over Whited’s 1,222 votes.

Yates-Mabry will now look ahead and face Democratic candidate Rick Wilkin, who ran unopposed

in the primary election and collected 892 votes.

Yates-Mabry spent election night at the courthouse surrounded by friends and family, who cheered on her lead throughout the night.

“I am thrilled and very grateful for last night’s win in the primary race,” she said on Wednesday.

“This was my fist time running for an elected position, and it has been a very enjoyable experience.”

Her appreciation shines through at the opportunity of getting to

meet several members of the community in her involvement in local events and outings during the primary race.

“We have a wonderful community, and I’m excited to continue to meet more people in the upcoming months as we prepare for November,” she said.

Looking ahead at the general election, Yates-Mabry plans to continue her involvement in local activities and looks forward to speaking with local residents and making them aware of the importance of voting for the best candidate in November’s election.

SPRING VALLEY — It’s going to be an exciting time for Spring Valley over the next three to four years as the design and construction of a new wastewater treatment plant unfolds.

On Monday, Alderman Tom Nesti gave an update on construction plans for the new operation, before the council unanimously approved an agreement for engineering services between the city and Chamlin & Associates, Inc. of Peru.

The design process for the new plant is

scheduled to take one year to complete. By July 2015, the council hopes to begin advertising bids for the project.

“It appears if everything goes according to the time table we have here, we will be starting construction on the new plant in October 2015, with the new plant start-up tentatively targeted for March 2017,” Nesti reported.

In February, Mayor Walt Marini, along with fellow representatives from the city, toured wastewater treatment plants in Peru, Port Byron, Morris and Streator. The goal was to get ideas on what type of operation would fit best in Spring Valley.

Marini reported the group all agreed the operation in Port Byron might be best, based on the simplicity of the

design, the construction costs and operation costs after it was built.

“What impressed us the most was the fact that it was so compact,” Nesti said on Monday.

The entire operation will only cover about one-third of the area Spring Valley’s current wastewater treatment plant covers.

Nesti said based on the $9.6 million grant awarded by Gov. Pat Quinn in November and the monies the city is expected to receive from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), from the flooding damage last April, there will be about $11 million total to spend on the project.

“Knock on wood, if we come in at our budget, we shouldn’t have to raise user rates at

all,” he confirmed. “So nothing should change there.”

Looking at the plans on paper, Nesti said the new operation should take care of all the city’s wants and needs, as far as wastewater disposal and treatment for the next 20 years.

“I think it’s something that’s going to be a benefit to the people of Spring Valley. We are especially keeping our fingers cross we will be able to do this without having to make any adjustments in the user rates,” he said. “It’s going to be something we all really need.”

In other news, the board: • Agreed to donate $100 to the Illinois Valley Fine Arts Trust, $300 to Kids Fishing in the Illinois Valley program, $1,000 to the

Healthy Kids Camp and $100 to W.D. Boyce Council of Boy Scouts.

• Approved a proclamation recognizing April as Fair Housing Month and a proclamation recognizing May as Motorcycle Awareness Month.

• Approved an ordinance prohibiting all non-law enforcement employees of the city of Spring Valley to carry concealed weapons.

• Approved the mayor’s appointment of Jeff Norton as Superintendent of Public Works.

• Authorized the redemption of real estate taxes for the property located at 202 E. St. Paul St. • Approved an ordinance adopting procedures for electronic attendance at meetings.

Rosenthal is new Walnut trustee Walnut commits to electric program

By Nita Wyatt news@bcrnews.com

WALNUT— The village of Walnut has a new trustee.

At the Walnut Village Board meeting Monday evening, acting Walnut Village Board President Dennis Grobe made the nomination of Ryan Rosenthal to fill the open position on the village board after the resignation of Aaron Staker.

Rosenthal’s nomination was approved by unanimous vote of the board.

Immediately following approval, Rosenthal was sworn in by Grobe and took his seat on the board.

This appointment will be for one year, and at the end of that time, Rosenthal will have the opportunity, if desired, to be placed on the ballot for election to complete the remaining two years of the term of office vacated by Staker.

Actis From Page 1 Marini then asked for a moment of silence in honor of Actis, before calling the meeting to order.

On Tuesday, fellow alderman Jim Taliano spoke highly of his dear friend of more than 40 years.

“He was a man amongst men, a pillar of our community, and someone I was proud to call my friend,” he said. “We spent a lot of time together … He was

The village of Walnut is currently participating in an electrical aggregate program set up through Rock River Energy Services of Oregon, Ill. Mary Mudge, representing that company, presented a renewal proposal for this aggregate program. The original program had a contract period of two years, and that contract will be expiring in July 2014.

Mudge stated there are 440 accounts (customers) within the village currently participating in the aggregate program.

Those accounts, during the previous 20 months, have saved a total of $176,000 on their electrical bills. She then presented alternatives for a new contract for the village’s program.

The new contracts proposed will be an increase over the current contract rate of 4.84 cents per KWH. Capacity rates charged to power companies by the government are being increased, and everyone, whether on an aggregate program or not, will be noticing an increase in their electri-

cal rates. Proposals from 1st Energy Services and Home Field Energy were reviewed by the board.

The board agreed to a new three-year agreement with the current aggregate program provider, 1st Energy Solutions. The agreed upon rate of the contract will be 6.72 cents per KWH. This company offers a rate guarantee to match the ComEd rate if that rate should ever fall below 6.72 cents during the duration of the contract. This guarantee, as well as the current positive experience customers have had with 1st Energy, contributed to the board’s decision.

All residents of the village will receive a letter explaining what they will need to do to participate in the new aggregate program. These letters will be mailed on or about May 19.

Superintendent Carl Minks reported the bid letting for Bureau County for seal coating has been received.

Pavement Maintenance, a division of Advanced Asphalt, Princeton, was

awarded the county contract. The seal coating of some alleys and streets in Walnut were included in the bid awarded. The cost of the work in Walnut will be $63,413.75.

The board approved the expenditure of this amount. Work will be delayed until after the July 4 celebration.

Village treasurer Nita VonHolten reported to the board she had been in contact with Citizens First State Bank, Walnut, regarding the possibility of obtaining a short-term loan to cover expenses incurred prior to the approval of the IEPA loan for the improvement of the village sewer plant. The bank will agree to make a loan to the village in the maximum amount of $155,000 at an interest rate of approximately 4 percent. The proceeds of the loan would be withdrawn by the village on an as-needed basis with the village then paying interest only on the amount withdrawn. The Illinois EPA loan is expected to be funded by September

2014, at which time the loan would be paid in full.

The proposed loan was approved by unanimous vote of the board.

Deb Quinn, chairperson of the Law and Order Committee, explained to the board the committee feels the purchase of a new police squad car can be delayed for a oneyear period. Reasons for the decision included the low mileage on the current vehicle and also the low maintenance costs incurred for the same vehicle. However, the committee will continue to pursue the upgrading of the radio equipment in use by the police patrols.

Duane Christensen, Cemetery Committee chairperson, asked the board to consider a donation to the American Legion for the flags placed in the cemetery by that organization.

The board requested that Christensen contact the Legion and have a representative attend the next board meeting scheduled for April 7.

a man that did whatever he could for Spring Valley and someone you would like to follow in his Actis footsteps.”

Taliano said he was proud to serve with him on the council.

“I’ve lost a very good friend,” he said.

Actis, along with close friend, Cliff Banks, was raising quail on a farm in Putnam County in an effort to re-establish a local quail population.

“We wanted to see the

bird population grow in this area, so we decided to get together and raise them. Last year we released 375 birds in Putnam County,” he said. “We are still raising them; he is no longer here with me, but I’ll keep going in honor of him.”

Banks, who knew Actis for more than a decade, called him his buddy and someone he hung out with every day.

“He was very passionate about conservation and bettering this area,” he explained. “He is

going to be really, really missed. There’s just not enough words to say how much he’s really going to be missed. He was a big asset to our area.”

Spring Valley Walleye Club Executive Director Bill Guerrini grew up in Spring Valley alongside Actis. While he admits he was older, the two shared a close friendship — one that grew tight through the walleye club.

“Our hearts go out to the family,” he said. “He had been ill for awhile, but this was still an unexpected thing. It’s real-

ly pulling at our heart strings.”

The No. 1 thing Guerrini said he will miss about Actis is his friendship. He touched on their many fishing trips in the Canada wilderness with other close friend, Jim Smith of Princeton. “(Actis) was the type of guy where everything he did had good intention, and he was a good man,” he said. “He liked people and helped anywhere and anyway he could. He will truly be missed by everyone.”

St. Mary’s Cemetery clean up DEPUE — St. Mary’s Cemetery in DePue will have its spring clean up. All winter grave decorations must be removed by April 7, or they will be discarded.

Upgrades at Veterans Park New playground equipment to be installed in April

By Andrew Fisher news@bcrnews.com

SHEFFIELD — Spring is upon us, and children will be able to enjoy the outdoors again. Many of them will want to enjoy the playground in Veterans Park. In order to make the playground even more enjoyable, the Sheffield Village Board met Monday night to address plans to upgrade facilities in the park.

Village Mayor Bill Rosenow informed the board he received word the Sheffield Playground Committee will begin construction of the new facilities the last Saturday of April. The committee is purchasing new equipment for the park. In addition to those plans, the board determined the existing merry-go-round, large swing, large slide and jungle gym will remain. The existing equipment will be refurbished and relocated to make room for the new equipment. One of large swings will be converted to a swing set for toddlers.

The wooden structures on the playground will be removed and discarded.

The board also discussed options for repaving the existing cobblestone sidewalk with cement.

Additionally, the board discussed the possibility of relocating the park’s derelict water fountain. A suggestion was made to move it to the intersection of Main and Atkinson streets. The thought is to make it fully functional as the centerpiece to a village round-about.

A number of problems associated with the bitterly cold winter were also discussed at the board meeting.

Rosenow said he is interested in having the village buy equipment that can help alleviate frozen water line problems in future winters. He also wants the village to apply lessons learned from the past winter to thwart similar problems in sub-

sequent years. The village also decided it was unwise to work on unfreezing private water lines because of the potential for cutting fiber optic cable and rupturing gas lines. The mayor said those affected by frozen water lines have been offered water from the community, and hoses have been run to bring water to residences where requested.

The village is also aware of several water main breaks and is working to fix them. A water main break on Reed Street and Routes 6/34 is still being worked on. Another on the corner of Reed and Farnham was repaired.

Addressing the board, Phyllis Hayes, owner of Phillies Tavern, requested reimbursement for a bill she incurred to unfreeze her water line. The board said it would pay the bill because the village knows the problem is its side of the water main.

In other business: • The Sheffield Rescue Unit received a donation in memory of Don Bill.

A broken water line in the rescue unit building caused extensive damage.

The rescue unit is working with insurers to resolve the issue.

• Village Superintendent Leif Porter has spent the past days inspecting winter damage to village streets. His report will be used to prioritize street repair.

• The Sheffield Library will host a fundraiser from 3 to 6 p.m. April 6. The Taste of Sheffield Soup Style Supper event will be held at the community center.

• The issue of work hours for Village Policeman Todd Marquez was discussed, and the village should have his finalized schedule by the next meeting.

• The mayor issued a proclamation worded by the Illinois Valley Board of Realtors honoring the 46th anniversary of Fair Housing Law. The next board meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m.

April 7.

Voter turnout: 21 percent

Performing one’s civic duty

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

A voter casts her ballot Tuesday in the primary election in Princeton.

Voter turnout was at only 21 percent of the county’s registered voters. Bureau County Clerk Kami Hieronymus cited heavier Republican turnout because of the contested races for sheriff and treasurer.

Of the 5,126 ballots cast, there were 3,879 Republican ballots taken out; 1,202 Democrat ballots; and 146 non-partisan ballots.

PRINCETON — Bureau County voters in four communities had an opportunity to say yes or no to a referendum question on their primary ballot in Tuesday’s election.

Three questions proposed tax increases and the other proposed deactivating a school district.

Tuesday evening’s results currently stand as unofficial, as there are a total of 35 absentee ballots that may weigh the outcome in one community. Bureau County Clerk Kami Hieronymus confirmed on Wednesday

In Bureau County, six precincts voted with 168 saying yes and 139 saying no. In Putnam County, only one precinct voted with 44 saying yes and 18 saying no.

“It was great because I met so many new people and made a lot of friends, and that’s what it’s all about. I really enjoyed the parades and people.

They really opened up and welcomed us in,” he said. “The bad thing was waiting for each vote to come in on election night.”

While Shipp sits with just 18 votes behind Beaber, his thoughts

Wednesday morning held traces of disappointment, but he’s looking forward to those last absentee ballot totals to be counted.

“I’m disappointed in the low voter turnout,” he said. “I’m not sure if the results would have been different with a higher turnout, but wish there would have been more voters.”

Shipp was thankful for a clean race with his

fellow opponents and expressed gratitude for his friends and family, who stood behind him in the race.

“I enjoyed meeting the people, and I thought I had an advantage with my point of saving the taxpayers $100,000, but apparently that wasn’t a concern for some of the voters,” he said.

PRINCETON — Voter turnout in Bureau County for Tuesday’s primary election came in at 21 percent of the county’s registered voters going to the polls.

Bureau County Clerk Kami Hieronymus said she predicted voter turnout would be 20-25 percent. She cited heavier Republican turnout due to the sheriff and treasurer races and referendum issues to help the voter turnout percentage.

The highest percentage came in the precincts where voters cast their ballots in saying whether Cherry Grade School should be deactivated and students sent to Dimmick Community Consolidated School District in LaSalle County. The voter turnout in those precincts was 56 percent or 259 ballots cast on this issue.

Other referendum issues on the ballot saw 28.5 percent in Tiskilwa, where the Tiskilwa Rural Fire Protection District was asking for an increase in its tax rate to pay for staffing of the ambulance service, and

Only 16 percent of the voters in Spring Valley’s seven precincts cast ballots on the city of Spring Valley’s effort to allow the collection of an additional retailer occupation tax of .5 percent.

“There were more Republican ballots cast in the county than Democrat,” she said. Of the 5,126 ballots cast during Tuesday’s election, 3,879 were Republican; 1,101 were Democrat; and 146 were non-partisan ballots.”

There were four candidates running for the Republican nod for sheriff and two candidates running for the Republican nod for treasurer.

Hieronymus said voter turnout in the Spring Valley area, a traditional Democratic stronghold in Bureau County, was lower because there weren’t any contested races on the Democratic side of the ballot.

Vote split on new Main Street facility

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Where will Princeton’s farmers’ market be located? The question remains unanswered after Monday night’s Princeton City Council meeting.

Several northend Princeton business owners addressed the council, asking for the mayor, commissioners to rethink the concept of building a structure at the corner of North Main Street and Elm Place to house the local farmers’ market.

The council had a first reading of an ordinance at its last meeting to approve a 20-year lease agreement with the Princeton Farmers’ Market Cooperative group for the use of the city’s parking lot, where the city currently has its annual summer farmers’ market. At that meeting, group spokesperson Greg Carrott proposed a new 90-foot long structure to run alongside Main Street.

The structure included a roof and walk-throughs and would provide space for 14 stalls for vendors, plus restrooms. As time and money allowed, the plan was to build an addition to the pavilion which would include classroom space and a certified kitchen in order to provide educational instructions and services for the

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — With the new farmers’ market structure voted down on Monday night by the Princeton City Council, the looming question is what will happen to the farmers’ market.

Princeton City Manager Jeff Clawson said Tuesday afternoon his assumption is the farmers’ market will either temporarily stay in the parking lot on the corner of Elm Place and North Main Street until a permanent home can be found, or it will return to its former home in Darius Miller Park.

Clawson said he was confident the Princeton City Council would work with the Princeton Farmers’ Market Cooperative to help them find a mutually agreeable location.

Clawson said there was previous talk of locat-

was dilapidated, and the fountain did not work.

He wondered about taking the fountain out and constructing a shelter for the farmers’ market in its place.

Commissioner Bob Warren said he believed the land on which Darius Miller Park sits was given to the city to use as a park, and some investigation would need to be conducted as to whether that use would be allowed.

Mayor Keith Cain said he felt the northend business owners should feel fortunate, since the city plows their snow and offers free parking to customers. He said it was the business owners’ responsibility to arrange for parking for their staffs and spoke of the lot on Vernon Street behind the Main Street barber shop which is under-utilized.

“You’ve got it pretty good,” he said, reminding business owners he and his wife also own a business in the northend business district.

Cain also said meetings had been previously held about the parking lot, and with the exception of Crosby, business owners seldom attended.

Crosby later told the BCR the original concept of the parking lot was the only thing discussed — not the structure, which would eliminate parking spaces

So now what for the farmers’ market?

community. A total of about $900,000 was needed to do the entire project, Carrott said.

Prior to the second reading of the ordinance on Monday, some northend Princeton business owners spoke during the public comment portion of the meeting — Laura Massey of Beetz Me; Mary VanKeulen of Sophisticuts; Terri Zearing of Flour House Bakery; and Ann Crosby of Annies Little Pots. Others also opposed to the idea who spoke were Princeton resident Lou Maxwell and Sophisticuts’ employee Alissa Anderson.

Basically, all those who spoke said they were not opposed to Princeton’s farmers’ market at all, but they were against the location of the farmers’ market in the city parking lot, since the structure would take away what they believed to be much needed parking spaces for staff and customers in the northend area. Another concern was safety, if employees had to park a distance from their place of employment and return to their vehicles in the dark.

Commissioner Joel Quiram who has been a proponent of refurbishing Darius Miller Park — where the farmers’ market originally was held, said the shelter at the park

for employees/staff.

A motion failed to table the ordinance until the next meeting, so more information could be gathered about whether Darius Miller Park could be used for a permanent home for the farmers’ market. Cain, Warren and Commission Ray Swanson voted no to tabling the ordinance.

Quiram and Commissioner Ray Mabry voted yes.

The vote then ensued to either pass the ordinance to allow the Princeton Farmers’ Market Cooperative to build the structure in the parking lot or to not allow the structure to be built. A super majority vote was required because according to the Illinois Municipal Code, the sale or lease of real estate requires three-fourths of the authorities to approve it, which means four of five commissioners/mayor needed to vote yes for it to pass.

The ordinance failed 3-2 with Cain, Warren and Swanson voting to go ahead with the structure, and Quiram and Mabry voting against it.

Speaking in favor of the structure were Evan Hultine and also Ellen Zehr, a 23-year vendor of the farmers’ market from Coneflower Farms in Tiskilwa.

ing the farmers’ market at the intersection of Long Street and the west corner of the parking lot intersection by the entrance to the depot. The city has been working to improve that parking lot, and Clawson said a structure there could surely be doable for the city.

Clawson also said the city is attempting to pull up the deed to Darius Miller Park to study the stipulations of what was stated when the land was donated to the city.

“We will have to figure out what we can legally put there and what we can’t,” he said.

Clawson said he spoke with Greg Carrott who is working with the Princeton Farmers’ Market Cooperative, and the group is planning a meeting this week where they will be discussing their options.

Outside the comfort zone I recently pushed myself outside of the comfort zone and decided to join a fitness class. Not just any fitness class, mind you, but Crossfit 56.

For anyone who knows me, you understand how big of a decision this was for me. For those who don’t know me, lets just say, I was always one of those awkward girls who stood in the corner during junior high gym COMMENTARY class and counted the seconds until the bell rang. I also always prayed the ball would never come to me — no matter what sport we were playing.

I’m not the least bit athletic. I once tried yoga for a week and spent money on a “Hip Hop Abs” workout video, which is still buried under some old DVDs I should probably take to Goodwill.

I’ve never been able to complete a full pull-up or pushup; running makes me nauseous; and I have to lift 15 pounds with two hands.

So what forced me to go from zero-to-100, and signup for one of the hardest workout courses?

It all started with my other problem — saying “no” to friends, particularly my close friend, (lets call her “Kat Woman” in this column). It was all her idea.

We were sitting there eating lunch on our regular Tuesday afternoon, when she casually suggested I check out the new Crossfit gym with her. I was about to shovel a spoonful of soup into my mouth, when my stomach dropped, and I began to feel the bead of sweat form on my forehead.

Before I could come up with an excuse, I head myself give a quiet, weak, “Suuuure.”

It must be a curse, but I just can’t say “no” to my friends. Even if it sometimes means putting me in an inconvenient state, I still find myself agreeing to their suggestions.

I knew Crossfit wouldn’t be an easy endeavor. I had heard horror stories of people not being able to walk after the workouts and others experiencing injuries from pushing themselves too hard.

However, I couldn’t let Kat Woman down. I ignored the negative rumors of Crossfit, swallowed my fears and laced up my tennis shoes.

Walking into a gym for the first time is never easy, especially for a lady. It’s full of sweaty smells, muscular men who talk loud and people who give you stares that say they’re judging you by your athletic ability.

Thank God I had my friend at my side because I may have just turned around and pretended I had the wrong gym class.

On our first day, our instructor wasted no time teaching us the Crossfit ways. We jumped rope, attempted squats, rowed 500 meters and lifted weights — on a 15-pound bar with weights on each side. The sight of me lifting a bar full of weight is just hysterical.

I could barely get out of bed the next day. It wasn’t pleasant getting ready for work that morning, however, I couldn’t hide the feeling of accomplishment. I had forced myself into one of the most challenging endeavors of my adult life, and I was feeling OK with it — Crazy!

The feeling encouraged me to go back two days later, and two days after that and two days after that and so on.

Kat Woman and I are just making it to our one-month mark at Crossfit 56, and we’re addicted. We’ve learned to love the burn, accept the challenge and push ourselves to be more fit. The results have already got us feeling giddy.

We now look forward to Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. We get to leave work a little early and face a new test each day.

And walking out that gym door, knowing we’ve done something good for ourselves and have achieved something we never imagined a year ago, is why we will keep going back.

TO Letter THE Editor

Answers needed To the Editor, Liberalism is good until you run out of other people’s money.

Bishop Jenky: You are too liberal with other churches’ money.

You are making some people very comfortable by adding on to the Newman Center in Champaign and the pastoral center in Peoria at a cost of many, many dollars — and others very uncomfortable, like Dalzell, Creve Coeur and other small towns, where churches are being supposedly merged, but we know merged churches will be closed and eventually sold.

Monsignor Deptula was quoted as saying when St. Benedict’s in Ladd was torn down that it was torn down because it was deconsecrated. How

does one deconsecrate a consecrated holy church, and who made that decision? How do you make holy unholy?

A couple months ago, I was called by parishioners in Sheffield to save St. Patrick’s Church because they liked what I had written about closing churches in the area.

However, my wife and I were physically escorted out of St. Patrick’s Hall by the priest in charge. I wonder how he knew me, even before I spoke, by men who followed the priests’ suggestion that I was never to speak on behalf of the merging of St. Patrick’s Church. My wife and I were physically escorted all the way to our car.

When this was happening, the people in that hall never said a word.

We were also told by Father Fixsen that if we were able to earn

money enough to keep the church from closing, we would not be closed.

With our money-making projects such as a spaghetti dinner, Italian fest, wine tasting and tortellini making, we have since November (in about four months) sent about $20,000 to Father Fixsen at Holy Trinity Church in Cherry.

Bishop Jenky: You have closed or torn down 16 churches in our area and are leaving three churches open to service the parishioners — four churches in Streator, three churches in Spring Valley, four churches I was to speak at in Sheffield, plus St. Gertrude’s in Seatonville, St. Benedict’s in Ladd (torn down), the church in Mount Palatine (torn down), St. Francis Xavier in Bureau that is now being sold for $2,000 and St. Thomas More in Dalzell.

You are now closing churches in small towns and also leaving only one church to service the people in larger cities. Why don’t you do this in Peoria too, by having all Peorians to go to one church, the Cathedral? The people in Peoria would be up in arms and ask you to resign.

I recently read where you changed your mind about St. Patrick’s in Sheffield and kept it open with a resident priest. Why not keep St. Thomas More open because we have met Father Fixsen answers to keep our church open by what we have done.

Keep St. Thomas More open by sending Father James King as our resident priest. He would enjoy our parish, and we would welcome him too.

There is rain scheduled for next week, that would take out the ice. But it’s a Catch 22, Guerrini said, because then the river comes up and creates flooding.

“Kaitlyn had a great season,” said Hall coach Monica Hrovat of her senior captain, a repeat BCR Girls Bowler of the Year. “She practices all year round and it showed during the season.”

St. Bede coach Buck Emmerling was quick to respond that Forbes, the 2014 BCR Boys Bowler of the Year, will be hard to replace.

“Devin has worked a lot of hours on his game since his freshmen year.

The last two years he has really come around.

Davis went on to play football at Augustana College as well as some Arena Football. Most recently, he coached in the Princeton Youth Football, guiding the eighth-grade team to the league championship last fall.

He had a successful stint as the varsity girls basketball coach at Princeton. He also coached the eighth-grade girls basketball team at Logan Junior High School to the Starved Rock Conference championship last fall.

The new Storm coach said he will get a staff picked out, meet the kids and get a summer program lined up.

Davis brings a potential team of his own with him, the father of four boys, including freshman Drake, and one daughter. He said his family will be moving to Manlius while maintaining the family business, the 100 Acre Orchard in Princeton.

He said getting the chance to coach your kids, is “a dad’s dream really.”

of the BCR Bowlers of the Year has helped in their development. Padgett picked up the game at the age of 7 and Forbes a few years later at age 12.

“My dad, Jim, had put my brother Tony, in a Saturday youth bowling league at Ladd Lanes,” Padgett said.

“I always tagged along, and when I was old enough my dad entered me as well.”

Forbes picked up the game of bowling at his future high school bowling home as well.

“I started doing a Saturday league at the Super Bowl because a friend said he was also doing the league,” said Forbes, a McNabb resident.

The early exposure to the game has helped both of the bowlers to understand and value the commitment and dedication to the game.

“Dedicated,” said Forbes of what his teammates would describe him as regarding his bowling career. “I just wanted to be the best bowler

I could possibly be,” he said.

“Dedicated,” said Padgett.

“The reason for that is that I took time in the postseason to get lessons and work on sport shots in Rockford. As well as sport shots, I went on my own time to just practice and work on specific things. I want myself to be as prepared as I can be when it comes to bowling in college.”

Padgett’s dedication also involved being a member of the Hall High School Devilettes Dance team along with teaching at The Dance Center in Peru where she has taken lessons since she was a young child.

Both of the bowlers advanced to sectionals of

the IHSA state bowling tournament.

Forbes said making it to sectionals and almost going to state was a highlight for his season. He had a high score of 268 and averaged 192 on his senior season.

Padgett was excited to have a 700 series and medaled at several of Hall’s bowling tournaments.

She led her team including first place individual at the Cavalier Classic, first place at the Lady Red Devil Invite, ninth place at Matt Clark Invite in Sycamore, second place at Oregon Hawk Invite and placed third individually at LaSalle-Peru Regional and helped the team advance to the Moline Sectional.

Padgett advanced to the IHSA state tournament as a junior and had an average of 208 with a high game of 279 and high series of 748.

With their high school bowling careers over, Padgett and Forbes are both looking towards their futures and where bowling may fall into those plans.

Padgett, who is considering majoring in special education/elementary education, has been looking into college bowling programs including Nebraska, Louisiana Tech, Lindenwood, Valparaiso and Sam Houston State-Huntsville, Texas.

Computer science will be the major of choice for 2014 St. Bede graduate Forbes and he is looking for potential scholarships for bowling.

Despite where their futures may lead Padgett and Forbes, their dedication to the game of bowling in the high school ranks in Bureau County will be seen for numerous years.

Andrea Anderson, executive director of the Bureau County United Way, stands in the agency’s new office at 618 N. Main St. in Princeton.

Seminar to discuss Bureau County United Way has new office benefit of cover crops

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Bureau County United Way has moved its office to a new location in Princeton.

“We felt this location, the parking and it being handicapped accessible would make it easier for the clientele we serve,” said Executive Director Andrea Anderson about the move to 618 N. Main St. in Harvest Commons.

“We feel this is a perfect location and has more space for us.”

This new office will help the Bureau County United Way move forward in its development and future growth, she added. The board had been discussing a new location prior to Anderson taking over as executive director last August and thought this was an appropriate location to allow the agency to grow.

The United Way works with nonprofit organizations such as the W.D. Boyce Council of the Boy Scouts, Bureau County Food Pantry, Bureau County Health and Wellness Center, Bureau County Senior Citizens Association, Center for Youth and Family Services, Gateway Services and BPART, Girl Scouts of Central Illinois, InHome Care VNA, IVCIL, Prairie State Legal Services, Red Cross of

Bureau County, Salvation Army, and University of Illinois Extension, Bureau County.

The Bureau County United Way’s spring fundraising event will be held Saturday at Four and Twenty Cafe.

For further details, Anderson urges people to call the office at 815872-0821 or check out the agency’s website at www.unitedwaybc.org.

PRINCETON — Friends of the Big Bureau Creek Watershed will hold a workshop on cover crops from 10 a.m. to noon Friday at the Bureau County Farm Bureau, 535 Elm Place, Princeton.

Cover crop professionals and farmers will discuss termination techniques and challenges, as well as the availability of federal funding through U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Bill conservation programs. This program is free to anyone who wishes to attend.

Cover crops are growing in popularity as a tool farmers can use to maximize agricultural productivity.

The benefits of planting fall cover crops on otherwise fallow land include increased organic matter, decreased compaction and erosion, and nitrogen scavenging. Cover crops are being touted as an excellent way to improve soil health, at a time when many have become concerned about the loss of soil quality as a result of decades of chemical inputs and the current crop rotation system.

Heartland Bank to host Spring into Free Event PRINCETON — On April 11, Heartland Bank and Trust Co. will host its Spring into Free Event.

Local offices are extending an open invitation to customers, residents and businesses to join in celebration with refreshments, gifts, one-day-only offers and a chance to win a $500 gift card.

Local Heartland Bank offices in Princeton are located at 606 S. Main St. and 2101 N. Main St. and in Spring Valley at 100 E. Dakota St. For more information on Heartland Bank’s Spring into Free Event, visit: www.hbtbank.com.

Spring break ... Tips for parent survival!

It’s March, and we are prepping for warmer weather, green beer, and the portent of parental doom — spring break. How can such a festive idea evoke so much dread?

Here are a couple of simple tips that will help calm the dread. I’m not saying they are easy, but they are simple: • Vote for good choices with where you spend your money: My girls are forbidden from going to raunchy spring break sites, and I enforce that by not paying for travel expenses to those places. Even though my kids are adults, they are still poor college students lacking funds to sponsor their own festivities. I vote for safer alternatives with my dollars. If my kids want to go to places you see on MTV, they will have to raise the funds themselves.

This eliminates most of the arguments right off the bat.

I make choices based upon our family value of helping others; sometimes that means helping others make good choices. By basing my decisions on our family values, I don’t have to fight my kids; I just remain firmly rooted in what’s right for our family.

• Approve roommates, especially if you are paying for the room: Get cell numbers for all the roommates. This may be tricky, but if they want to stay in a room paid for by you, they will comply with your rules. Talk to the roommates to let them know that you care about all of them. Tell them to designate a driver and never leave a friend alone. There are really sketchy people out there who prey upon single girls. Make sure your kids are surrounded by kids who have the same values. This will nip the majority of all problems in the bud.

• If your kids are paying for themselves, all you can do is trust them: You have raised your kids to act in a way that lines up with your family values. If this family values thing is new to you, this is the perfect opportunity to sit down and discuss your values with your young adult.

Figure out what is important to your family and then tell your kids that you expect them to uphold those values when they are away from you. Remind them that everyone has camera phones, and those pictures will follow them forever. If they are going to drink too much (forbidding it won’t stop it), they need to pick a buddy to watch

out for them. I know what college students are like, after all, I was one back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.

• If your kids are still in high school, don’t let them go on a spring break trip without you or a chaperone that you trust — period. This is a recipe for disaster, and no amount of sweet talking by your kid will make it sound any better. If you are unsure whether the chaperone seems trustworthy, err on the side of caution. Better a mad kid than a damaged one.

• When all plans have been set, release the outcome: Even if you have taken all these precautions, some uncertainty may still remain. It is crucial to take very good care of yourself to quiet the worry that inevitably arises when your kids are outside your sphere of influence. Be sure to exercise, eat right and get plenty of sleep to quiet the worry; there is nothing you can do except take good care of yourself and be ready to act in case of emergency.

Set up emergency contingencies before your kid leaves you.

Devise a system whereby your kid communicates with you every day, or twice a day, to let you know that they are alive and well. This is not negotiable. It only takes one minute to send a text, and since they love you, they need to show you by doing this one small thing.

There are no guarantees that your child will be perfectly safe on spring break, just as there are no guarantees that your child will be perfectly safe anytime. Some things are out of your hands. But if you have raised your kid to be a good person with self-respect and respect for others, have faith that your years of effort will prevail and that your kid will make good choices.

We can’t keep our kids under our wing forever. Our job as parents is to raise good citizens who better the world by being in it. Eventually, we just have to let go and have faith that our love will guide them even when they aren’t with us.

Six ways to make a toddler’s bedtime easier CHICAGO — Toddlers. We love them. They are active, sweet and special, and they amaze us and melt our hearts on an hourly basis. But, wow, some of them love to test us and fight sleep.

While there are many toddlers out there who go to sleep happily and you don’t hear from them until morning, there are many other toddlers who try to negotiate, stall or delay (like the best lawyer in town).

There are many parents who are struggling with their toddler’s bedtime process, so certified child sleep consultant and founder of Sleep Baby Love, Susie Parker, shares some helpful information to create a solid bedtime process to help your toddlers go to bed and stay in bed.

Tip No. 1: Teach your child what is expected: As parents we sometimes expect a lot from our children. So much, that we forget that a few short years ago, they were just a tiny little newborn.

We have to realize as much as we would like for our kids to oblige everything we do and say, they are just young kids whose minds run a mile a minute. By understanding that going through a bedtime routine isn’t always fun, we can help make it easier and more fun by thinking about things from a

child’s perspective.

Tip No. 2: Make your bedtime routine fun: Be careful not to rile your toddler up before bedtime, but do things that will help them enjoy the bedtime process.

Try having fun throughout the bedtime process: • Sing silly songs while brushing teeth.

• Have a race to get into pajamas.

Tip No. 3: Eliminate the power struggle: You are the parent and you set the rules, and the time your toddler goes to sleep. But, giving options and picking your battles you eliminate a full on power struggle and will make your bedtime routine much more enjoyable (for both you). Provide options throughout the bedtime process to help empower your child: • Would you like to wear these pajamas or these?

• Would you like to brush your teeth before or after bath?

Tip No. 4: Set sleep rules: Does your toddler really know what it means to go to sleep? Ask them. It would be great to hear the different responses. Assuming your toddler is out of a crib and transitioned to a big bed, your child’s big room allows them a lot of freedom, and of course, some would choose to

play rather than go to sleep. If you are struggling on a nightly basis to get your child to sleep, get back to basics. Have a family meeting and explain the rules of sleep and how sleep works.

“You lay in your bed, shut your eyes and go to sleep.” (Yes that simply) Explain in your child’s language the benefits of sleep and how it helps them grow big and strong.

Tip No. 5: Offer rewards for following the sleep rules: Use a sticker chart to help reward your toddler for following the sleep rules. Have they stayed in their bed the whole night? Could they earn a shiny sticker? Get your child invested in the process by having them help make the chart (or pick out an online printable).

Include them in shopping and picking out the stickers.

Tip No. 6: Blame somebody else: “Going to sleep is not always your toddler’s favorite subject, and if your child is still resistant to the act of going to sleep, I give you permission from this point on to blame me, Sleep Susie,” said Susie Parker. Tell them that you have a friend that is going to help you follow your sleep rules. This will help you not look like the bad guy and hopefully your child wants to do what Sleep Susie says.

BCGS is a FamilySearch affiliate library PRINCETON — The Bureau County Genealogical Society is reminding the public that it is a FamilySearch affiliate library.

The designation means library patrons will have greater and more convenient access to the wealth of genealogical resources available through FamilySearch.

FamilySearch is the world’s largest repository of free genealogical records and manages the famous Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. It has amassed billions of birth, marriage, death, census, land, and court records of genealogical significance from over 130 countries.

FamilySearch is extending access to its collections by circulating microfilms of the historic records through select public libraries. The Bureau County Genealogical Society is now one of those libraries. It is a priceless resource for local residents interested in discovering

their family trees.

Since only a small portion (less than 5 percent) of the world’s genealogical records are online, researchers can easily access FamilySearch’s extensive collection by traveling no farther than the BCGS Library at 629 S. Main St. in Princeton.

There is a nominal fee payable to FamilySearch to cover rental and mailing when ordering a microfilm. Patrons can search the Family History Library Catalog online at http:// www.FamilySearch.org to see what records are available. Orders must be placed from home using a credit card. Once the film arrives at BCGS, patrons will use the microfilm readers there to view it.

Assistance will be available from the library’s staff.

For more information, call the Bureau County Genealogical Society at 815-879-3133 or 815-3037386, or email questions to bureaucounty@gmail.com.

Beach Boys tickets will go on sale June 7 PRINCETON — The Bureau County Fair will present The Beach Boys at 8 p.m. Aug. 21 at the Bureau County Fairgrounds. Tickets will go on sale June 7.

Happily for us all, The Beach Boys continue to create and perform with the same bold imagination and style that marked their explosive debut over 50 years ago. And now in 2013, their Capitol Records release, “Sounds of Summer” (RIAA certified triple platinum with over three million in sales and climbing), and it’s companion “The Warmth of the Sun” marks a resurgence in Beach Boys interest that has again rocked the world.

Even more than the Beatles, The Beach Boys found through their music the key to unfading youth — and they made copies for everyone. To these guys, the beach isn’t just a place where the surf comes to play — it’s where life is renewed and made whole again.
