Princeton ‘scrubs’ business district

Council votes unanimously to dismiss project

By Zita Henneberry zhenneberry@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The businesses said no to the business district. And ultimately, the Princeton City Council did too.

After more than a month of public discussion and controversy surrounding the proposed business district, the project was shut down after a public hearing held Monday, March 30.

“I think that the public has spoken; I think the businesses have spoken. I think we need to scrub this project,” said Princeton Commissioner Ray Mabry. “We’ve spent $7,500 hiring an attorney to put this together — that’s $7,500. We’ll just figure out that it was a wash; it was a learning experience. We need to communicate better with the public in the early stages of anything.”

Commissioner Joel Quiram acknowledged he did not appreciate the manner in which the project was handled by the city before he made the motion to dismiss the business district altogether.

Commissioner Ray Swanson seconded the motion, and the council unanimously voted to dismiss the project.

The public hearing held prior to the project’s dismissal revealed a plethora of negative opinions toward the business district.

The Closet treasurer, manager and board member Trisha Schafer spoke representing The Closet Board.

“The Closet, Church Women’s United Board, is not against economic development, but encourages this council not to pursue the business district plan, but rather, find a better solution. One that

is fair and inclusive to all of Princeton’s businesses, so that together we can redevelop or develop our dilapidated business areas.”

Schafer said no Closet representative had communicated The Closet’s approval of a business district to the city at any point in time.

Mayor Keith Cain addressed Schafer and the crowd, “I want you to understand, I have nothing to gain out of this.

It was just a way of looking to try to spur other businesses into the area. That’s all

Pellegrini: We need to send a message Spring Valley denies variance

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — A Spring Valley resident was denied a variance for height restrictions in the Spring Valley Land Development Code by the city council on Monday, March 30.

With this decision, resident Greg Pinter will have to tear down a garage he began constructing on his property that is 10-feet taller than what the city allows in its land development code.

According to meeting minutes issued by the Spring Valley Board of Zoning Appeals, which met on Wednesday, March 18, Pinter requested the variance after beginning construction on his garage without a building permit.

The minutes said Pinter explained he did not think he needed a building permit because he was rebuilding his garage, which had burned in a fire on Dec. 30. It has since been learned that Pinter was building a taller garage to add a storage space on the second story of the structure.

Spring Valley City Attorney Jim Andreoni explained a building permit was still needed to rebuild the garage and advised the zoning board the height problem would have been addressed before the garage was partially built, if Pinter had asked for a building permit.

At the March 18 meeting, the Spring Valley Board of Zoning Appeals voted a split vote, 3-3, to recommend a variance to the city council. The seventh board member was absent from the meeting.

With no recommendation from the zoning board, the city council’s motion to allow the variance failed on Monday, March 30, with aldermen Mike Herrmann, Dan McFadden and Chuck Hansen voting in favor of the variance and aldermen Tom Nesti, Jack Narczewski, Deb Baltikauski, Dave Pellegrini and Jim Taliano voting against the variance.

Editor’s note: This is the second story in a two-part series on the Illinois State Board of Education’s statewide review of

financial data for school districts.

School districts across the state continue to show financial strain due to decreased funding from federal, state and local resources.

The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) has released an annual statewide review of financial data, which shows a drop in the number of schools districts

earning ISBE’s top financial rating. The financial profiles alone do not provide a complete picture of a school’s financial health, but are simply a tool utilized by the ISBE staff.

Rezin receives award for flood prevention efforts BLOOMINGTON — State Sen. Sue Rezin (R-Peru) has been honored by a statewide group for her work to help Illinois residents plan for and protect themselves from flooding, and for her support of legislation addressing floodplain issues.

The 38th District senator received the Illinois Association for Floodplain and Stormwater Management (IAFSM) Legislation Award at the organization’s annual conference March 13 in Bloomington.

The award honors an Illinois lawmaker or local official for his or her efforts in floodplain issues.

“I am so honored and humbled to receive this recognition,” Rezin said.

“I can’t stress enough that it’s a team effort to prevent flood losses. I want to thank everyone around the 38th Senate District who is taking a proactive approach, so we are better prepared when waters start to rise along our rivers and streams.”

In 2014, Rezin established the Illinois Valley Flood Resiliency Alliance (IVFRA) to get communities together to learn more

and Stormwater Managers. Kalsted also worked for the village of Lisle for 33 years, including the last 10 years as stormwater administrator.

“Without the strong encouragement and political support from Sen. Rezin, the coalition would not have come to be,” Kalsted wrote in her nomination letter. “She was able to look at flooding across her district, and bring together the numerous municipalities and counties who deal with it repeatedly. Her efforts on behalf of her district have made a huge difference for life along the rivers.

Participating communities now understand that their own actions have a direct impact on sister communities up and down stream.”

Rezin took a proactive regional approach to flood fighting after the flood in 2013 cost LaSalle and Grundy counties more than $150 million.

“The state of Illinois has the largest collection of inland bodies of water and rivers in the continental United States,” Rezin said. “Twelve percent of surface in Illinois is mapped as a floodplain.

about how to prevent flooding, how to coordinate people and materials during a flood and the best practices of cleanup and recovery. It also educates communities in floodplain management by joining established state and federal organizations, certifying key people as floodplain managers and adopting higher regulatory standards. The IVFRA is also working on securing grant funding right now for flood-fighting materials.

“H aving l oc al flood-fighting experts, the newest flood-fighting material, and having each community on the same page will go a long way the next time flood waters are imminent,” Rezin said. “It will also save local governments, municipalities, infrastructure and people a lot of money. I am confident our flood alliance will help keep our neighborhoods and infrastructure dry and also save lives.”

Rezin was nominated for the legislation award

It’s not a matter of if we will have another flood, but when we will have another flood.”

“After the flooding in the spring of 2013, Sen. Rezin worked with other area legislators and asked communities in her district what steps could be taken to reduce flood losses,” Kalsted wrote in her nomination letter.

“Based on the results and working with the IAFSM Floodplain Management Committee, Sen. Rezin took the lead and contacted communities in her district and set up an organizational meeting. Since then, five counties and 18 communities from the 38th District have formed a coalition to prevent, fight and mitigate flooding.”

SPRING VALLEY — Members of the Central Illinois K-9 Search and Rescue team were in a one-vehicle accident on Monday, March 23.

While members Joann Jesse and Jason Schweickert came out of the accident with only bruises and scratches, their rescue vehicle was totaled in the wreck.

This comes as a setback for the local search and rescue team, also known as Disaster Dogs of Illinois (DDI).

Jesse said the accident occurred in the morning hours. She and Schweickert were driving from Spring Valley to Princeton on Interstate 80. Around Mile Marker 59, the vehicle lost control on the slick, snowy roadway. The vehicle went off the road and rolled into the nearby ditch.

“We landed in the drainage ditch, and we were in about a foot of water,” Jesse said.

She confirmed there were no K-9s in the vehicle at the time of the accident.

Along with damage to the vehicle, two computers

and a cellphone received water damage. K-9 handler equipment in the back seat of the vehicle was damaged, along with a K-9 kennel.

Outside of the vehicle, the emergency signal lights received damage, and the crew lost a vehicle that had $500 worth of search and rescue logos on its body.

“This is definitely a setback for us,” Jesse said.

“It’s around $1,000 worth of damages for the team alone.”

While insurance may pay for a new vehicle, the equipment is certainly not replaceable, she said.

Despite the accident, DDI will still be active and ready for a call if needed.

The search and rescue crew is deployed in assisting with trapped, missing or buried victims, as a result of tornadoes, earthquakes, burning structures or building collapses.

To help the newly formed crew get back on its feet, a “go fund me” online fundraiser account has been set up.

Those interested in making a donation to the crew may do so by visiting www. gofundme.com/pprff0.

it amounts to. No one up here had anything to gain out of it.”

Tractor Supply District Manager Marty Terselic said, “What you’re going to put in place is a 23-year tax, and that’s a long time. We have no idea what’s going to happen two years from now, let alone 23 years from now ... It’s going to put anyone over there at a disadvantage when it comes to competition.”

“One of the things that we’re concerned about is making sure that the business owners out there were notified properly and hopefully on board with this,” said Mabry.

He referenced a letter signed by the Princeton Chamber of Commerce President Tim Harris which endorsed the proposed business district.

Mabry quoted the letter, “It is also the Chamber’s understanding that the existing businesses served by this district understand the increase in sales tax and have no concerns with the program.”

“We were given this with the understanding that every business, it says, they have ‘no concerns’ with the program, and tonight I’m hearing businesses telling me that they definitely have concerns,” said Mabry.

“When we talked to these folks they were agreeable,”

What was the business district?

As previously reported in the Bureau County Republican, the proposed business district would have involved a geographical area on the west side of Main Street from Interstate 80 to Backbone Road. Businesses in this district would have had a 1 percent increase to their sales tax.

The revenue from this increase would have been placed in a fund which could have been directed toward improvements to the area. After the initial withdrawal from the fund was utilized by Central Realty for the old Walmart building, any business within the district would have been able to access the fund. said Princeton City Manager Jeff Clawson. “If they changed their minds, they changed their minds; that’s their prerogative. When I wrote the letter and I handed it to Tim, everything in it was completely true; he knew that. After the letter, some things came back.

I went to Tim and said, ‘Things have changed; are you concerned?’ He said, ‘I still support the project.’”

Business representatives from both The Closet and TSC disagreed with Clawson’s statement. They said neither business had ever officially agreed to the proposal.

Terselic and Schafer explained they had communicated the need to discuss the matter with their business board/corporate office before approving or disapproving of the proposal.

“So no, there was never a time when I said, ‘Yea, it’s OK; let’s do it.’ I did say that it would be great

to have other businesses in there, but I’m not the representative for Tractor Supply as it relates to whether we approve or we disapprove of any kind of tax hike. So no, I didn’t do that, and there was no mind change,” said Terselic.

“All I’m saying is at the time we discussed this we had no opposition to this, and then it changed. And I can’t control what people do once it changes. We did this aggressively to try to get information out as quickly as possible; that’s how it works in economic development, and everybody knows that. So we all know clearly now that these folks don’t support it,” said Clawson.

As soon as the public hearing was adjourned, the motion to “scrub” the business district proposal was unanimously accepted by the council.

Vote QUIRAM for MAYOR of Princeton

Greetings, I am a candidate for Mayor of this great town and would certainly appreciate your VOTE on April 7. Having served on the City Council for the past 4 years I am very knowledgeable of the current issues and I feel strongly that if we all work together as a TEAM that we can sustain our heritage, maintain our community and be proud of our accomplishments.

Princeton is one of the finest small communities of which one could ever hope to be a part of. However, it didn’t just become such by luck or accident.

Rather, the residents by virtue of their hard work, vigilance, and choosing committed leadership over the years, have made possible the facilities now in place. However, we are at a crossroads concerning many pressing issues facing our community. We have an unprecedented amount of City debt, major infrastructure needs, and a lack of a solid plan to implement sensible solutions. It’s time to take action and that opportunity is available on TUESDAY, APRIL 7th, the date to vote for City government.

I firmly believe that with discretionary spending (tightening our belt) we can progress in a realistic manner using a professional approach in financial management.

But, we must sustain our existing facilities so as to provide a working foundation for growth now, and in the future.

We need leadership, integrity, professionalism and a sincere desire to serve the community for the preservation of what we have in addition to our future.

Please VOTE April 7th for QUIRAM for MAYOR! Sincerely, Joel Quiram

Local districts’ financial profiles

Finances From Page 1 for school districts are determined using five key indicators: Fund balance to revenue ratio; expenditure to revenue ratio; days cash on hand; percentage of remaining short-term borrowing ability; and percentage of remaining longterm borrowing ability.

According to the ISBE, financial performance in the school districts has been impacted by a multitude of factors. The unavailability of debt, reduced state funding appropriations, delays in receipt of state funding and local revenues, EAV declines in non-tax capped school districts, a decline in new EAV growth for tax-capped school districts, and the infusion of revenue from the Federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) are simply a few named by the board.

The council’s general consensus was to go with enforcing the ordinance.

Spring Valley’s ordinance requests a fine of a minimum of $25 or a maximum of $500 per day.

“My request would be to not make it more than $500,” Marini said.

“I think there has to be a consequence for anybody who does this. If

Pellegrini agreed and said a message should be sent. He said if Pinter would have shown an effort in asking about a needed building permit, it might have been a different case.

“We have to send a message and abide by our ordinance,” he said.

Pinter was in attendance at the meeting but made no comments.

PRINCETON — Barbara A. Fensterman, 92, of Princeton passed away Thursday, March 26, 2015, at the Colonial HealthCare and Rehabilitation Centre in Princeton.

She was born Barbara Anita Aagesen on March 7, 1923, to Edward and Marion Aagesen. She married John G. Carper on Sept. 13, 1944. He died Nov. 19, 1973.

Running myself ragged I’ve always hated running. It was the worst part of volleyball practices in high school, and I’ve avoided it like the plague ever since.

As the Couch to 5K program soared in popularity, I never once entertained the idea of joining the ranks of people huffing and puffing their way toward completing a 3.1 mile run. Until now, that is.

My younger sister completed the program some time ago, and although she was a great athlete in high school, she had never been a runner either. When she recently told me her longest run so far was eight miles without stopping, I was impressed and a bit in awe of her.

Although during nice weather I will frequently take two- or three-mile walks, the idea of running even half a mile seems daunting at this point in my 40s.

In fact, the longest run of my life is probably one mile COMMENTARY at best.

Curious despite my misgivings, I read up on the Couch to 5K program, and I was impressed by what I saw. Never one to agonize over decisions, I decided I would jump in and give it my best shot. To give myself more accountability, I made it Facebook official.

Week 1 didn’t seem difficult in theory. My plan required me to alternate 60 seconds of running with 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes three times a week, with days of rest in between. That should be a piece of cake, I thought.

But 30 seconds into that first running stretch, I was alarmed by my labored Darth Vader-like breathing and wondered if I would survive. My years of journalism experience kicked in, and I envisioned what the headline would read once my corpse was discovered on the track: “Couch to 5K program claims first victim.” As someone who prides herself on being mentally tough, I slowed my running pace and soldiered on.

After that first workout, my feet were killing me. I realized if I was going to give this a real try, I should have some real gear. So I traded in my old, beat-up Nikes for a new pair of New Balance running shoes.

The next workout, sporting my new shoes, I felt like I was running on top of clouds because there was so much cushioning. Problem solved, I thought.

I didn’t doubt myself that first week until the third workout. Right from the start, my legs felt tired, and my knee was achy. Despite the discomfort, I powered on and finished the training that day.

Week 2 required running 90 seconds at a time instead of 60 seconds. That wasn’t a big jump, and it was simple. But Week 3 was the one I was really worried about. It required me to double the amount of time I ran at any given stretch. Even though I was concerned about it, it really wasn’t much, just three minutes at a time.

I cranked up my iPod with inspirational, fast-paced music and hit the track. Week 4, which I have just started, is easier so far than the first week. But before I break out the champagne, I still have more than four weeks of training to go, including a 22-minute run in Week 6 I’m particularly worried about. But in just 10 workouts, I have transformed myself from someone who could barely run 30 seconds at a time to someone who easily can run 5 minutes at once. And for me, that’s a big deal.

Guest commentary Open season at U.S. colleges?

The March 20 release of the documentary film, “The Hunting Ground,” is raising controversy and questions about the safety of co-eds and cover-ups on U.S. college campuses.

If a “rape-culture” exists on our campuses, how prevalent is this problem? Is it something new, or has it existed for a long time? I was a college student in the ‘60s and ‘70s and remember a visit I made to see a friend at a “Big Ten” university at the time. As we walked across the campus, I commented on the number of wild ducks that were everywhere. His reply was that there was a bigger fine for molesting one of the ducks on campus then there was for molesting coeds.

After 50 years, has the climate on our colleges changed? Have we made any progress? I urge each of you to not “turn your face away,” rather to become informed about the issues of sexual violence in our communities and colleges. To find out what you can do to support change that will help our younger generations to grow and learn in a safe environment.

April, Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, is right around the corner! You can make a difference by joining with Freedom House this April in the fight to end sexual violence. The Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN) indicates more than a quarter of a million people are sexually assaulted each year in the U.S. The RAINN website lists five things you can do in April to make a difference in our

communities: 1. Reach out to a loved one. It’s never too late to let a survivor in your life know that you care. Learn some simple tips about how to be there.

The Freedom House Hotline can provide you and your loved one with confidential help, 24/7: 800-474-6031 2. Make your voice heard. The Illinois General Assembly needs to hear from you about your support for legislation to improve the criminal justice system, support survivors and bring sexual predators to justice. In April, contact your representatives and senators and share your support for sexual violence legislation and Freedom House. (Contact information at www.ilga.gov) 3. Volunteer. Looking to donate your time? There are so many ways you can get involved in your community: Volunteer at Freedom House your local rape crisis center by calling 815-872-0087. Freedom House provides services to Bureau, Henry, Marshall, Putnam and Stark counties.

4. Become informed and get involved socially. See the documentary film “The Hunting Ground” and talk with your friends about sexual violence in our communities and on

college campuses. Visit the Freedom House website (www.freedomhouseillinois.org) and post to our Facebook link. Be a part of the movement against sexual violence. NICHE has a website that lists the safety rating of colleges and universities in the U.S. at www.colleges.niche.com.

5. Join the “… a light still shines …” campaign. You can assist survivors by supporting Freedom House as we provide help and counseling to women, men and children in our communities. Write to: Freedom House, 440 Elm Place, Princeton, IL 61356, or give us a call at 815-8720087 to find out how you can join the movement to make our campuses and communities safer places to live and learn.

“You did not keep quiet, nor turn your face away, when these victims wanted your help to survive.” — Paul Kagame, president of Rawanda.

TO Letter THE Editor

Find a good read for a good cause To the Editor, Thank you to all the fans of the Friends of the Library book sales.

Through the dedication of Friends’ volunteers, and your support of our sales, the Friends once again were able to present the library with a check for $10,000 this past January.

‘Show tolerance’ To the Editor, In response to Tuesday’s (March 24) Letter to the Editor, “Shame, shame, shame,” by Carlo Olivero of Dalzell: In the last election, there was no question on the ballot about “getting rid of Obama care.” Sure, some candidates ran on that platform, but if they did and it was not brought in front of Congress then that is the candidate’s fault, and can be voted out by the public, next election.

Second, where did you get the information that marriage should be between a man and a woman only? I

It might be in the Bible, but this country was founded on religious freedom and separation of church and state. If you are against that, then may I suggest you don’t marry within your same sex. Same as abortion; if you don’t like it, then don’t get one. If you don’t like alcohol, then don’t drink it. But don’t take away the rights of others who have beliefs contrary to yours. That is what the war on terrorists is all about! Not forcing others into beliefs that you don’t agree with.

Third, the United States Supreme Court doesn’t have the power to change what is written in the Bible.

It has no jurisdiction over that. It only rules on constitutional issues.

So you don’t have to worry about that and the Fourth Commandment.

There are Muslim extremists and Christian extremists that wish to change the life we lead; please don’t be one of those. We can all live in peace and harmony if we stop trying to make everyone follow certain beliefs, but show tolerance toward each other.

Caught!

To the Editor, So many folks, myself included, have a tendency to notice the negative aspects of life in general, and in one category especially, the rudeness of some clerks in the retail

business. They are usually young, easily bored and in the malls, though not always.

I can deal with it by leaving that store and shopping elsewhere. I am in my 80s, no longer driving and limited in walking distance. I live in Princeton a mile from Main Street where the stores are and sporadically stretch along a two-mile distance, and three miles from Walmart.

The point of this story is: One day a couple weeks ago I learned that I would need three specialty gifts for three special occasions. I called Patterns of the Past to ask if they had ideas and was given in detail, over the phone, each gift option they had to offer. After my selections, they were beautifully gift wrapped and delivered to my door! That really made by day, and of course, reinforced my opinion of Patterns of the Past and the wonderful service they do, and always have.

As if that weren’t enough for one day’s great experience, at noon my son took me to lunch and also paid it forward for two women who were traveling through. I bet they’ll come back to Princeton in the future.

Well, they say “three times the charm” right? I believe the third charm for me was the fact that I no longer had any negative feelings and went to bed that night thinking of what I could do for someone equally as awesome as I experienced that day. Now that’s a positive!

St. Patrick statue blessed ARLINGTON — The statue of St. Patrick was recently returned to St. Patrick Church, Arlington, after being refurbished and repainted by Heritage Restoration and Design Studio in Peoria.

At the afternoon Mass on St. Patrick’s Day, Fr. Patrick Fixsen, pastor, blessed the statue and Jennifer Hunter placed a new shamrock in the statue’s hand.

The plaque on the statue states: “Donated by Mrs. Coughlin.”

Although there was no date as to when it was donated though the second St. Patrick Church burned to the ground on Jan. 25, 1920, and the present church was built

and dedicated on May 30, 1921. It is assumed it was donated in 1921.

The statue has been missing the shamrock for many years and Heritage Restoration constructed a new one.

A convenience store on Princeton’s South Main Heartland Bank to host Spring into Free event Lucas couple will cater to all, especially to those who reside on the south end of town

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Matthew and Tara Lucas recently opened Luczak Convenience Store in Princeton at 413 S. Main St. “We moved here two years ago from Rock Falls,” said Matt, who named the store after the last name of his Polish grandfather.

Since Princeton’s downtown area has the feeling of Galena, Lucas said he has enjoyed the town and its people. “Our kids love the schools here,” he said.

The store stocks about 200 items, and the inventory will build after he has been in business longer.

Seasonal items will be stocked along with convenience items.

“We need this store on this end of town. People living in the hi-rise and Clark House will be our customers,” he said. “It will be easier for many instead of going to the north end to buy one item and spending 30-45 minutes to do it.”

The Lucases both work as certified nursing assistants at Colonial Hall.

Since Matt works the second shift at Colonial and his wife the first shift, they alternate their working hours at the store, which is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

It took about 12 months after buying the former

Tribune Printing Building to remodel it into a store.

“While we were remodeling, people would knock on the window and ask us when we were going to open,” added Matt,

who wants to eventually change the last name of his entire family to Luczak when he has the money to do so legally.

Spring Valley City Bank honored SPRING VALLEY — Spring Valley City Bank has earned a five-star superior rating from BauerFinancial, a bank rating firm which has been evaluating and rating banks since 1983.

A five-star superior rating indicates that Spring Valley City Bank is one of the strongest banks in the nation, excelling in areas of capital, loan quality, profitability and more.

Spring Valley City Bank has earned Bauer’s fivestar superior rating, an indication of strength and security, for the most recent 92 consecutive quarters. That has earned Spring Valley City Bank the added title of “sustained superiority bank.”

Fewer than 10 percent of the nation’s banks can claim this title.

Karen L. Dorway, president of BauerFinancial, notes that “for the first time, we see big banks acknowledging the value in relationship banking.

That’s something community banks, like Spring Valley City Bank, have always known. In fact,” she continues, “because of their inherent focus on relationships, community banks are uniquely positioned to serve their communities in a way no one else can.

Those relationships pay off for both Spring Valley City Bank and the customers it serves.”

Established in 1905, Spring Valley City Bank operates through a branch office on North Cornelia Street in Spring Valley.

PRINCETON — Steve Bouslog of Princeton celebrated his birthday by recently opening an office of KB Elliott Financial Advisors at 306 Backbone Road East in Princeton. Bouslog opened for Bouslog business on March 13, a special day for him since it was his birthday.

KB Elliott Financial Advisors is a privately-owned company of independent financial advisors that also has offices in Springfield

and Peoria. Securities are offered through WFG Investments Inc., a subsidiary of Williams Financial Group, a privately held Dallas-based financial services firm with more than $6.5 billion in assets under management.

“We have space here to add another advisor, and we also have backup of five to six advisors in Peoria and two to three in Springfield,” Bouslog added.

The services offered to clients include 401K rollover, asset management, life insurance, long-term care insurance, financial investment advice for stocks, bonds and mutual funds, financial planning, tax-free and tax-deferred

investments, and asset protection.

“I have always wanted to do this,” Bouslog said.

“I want to improve the level of service delivered to clients. The time was right to open this office.”

KB Elliott’s partnership has allowed Bouslog to offer a wider range of products for clients than he was able to do previously.

Bouslog wants to provide his clients with professional and unbiased advice. He added that clients can trust him to do the right thing for them, since he has been in the investment advice business and the community of Princeton for many years.

“I can help them

decide what to do with their assets and to reach their goals,” he said. “No amount of money is too big or too small.”

Bouslog said much of his business deals with clients’ 401K plans on what to do when they either change jobs or enter retirement. “I can give them the pros and cons of all their choices and what is best for them,” he added.

“This was a big decision to leave the bank after being there for a long time,” Bouslog said, referring to the 35 and one-half years he worked at Citizens First National Bank and then Heartland Bank, the last 15 in the investment area. “I took this step to improve the

services for clients. I have always wanted to do this, and so far, it has been a lot of fun.”

After purchasing the building at 306 Backbone Road East in Princeton, Bouslog and his family members helped remodel the building that had most recently been Finders Keepers, a thrift shop for Friends of Strays.

Melissa Brisbin is the sales assistant for the Princeton office.

Bouslog can be reached at 815-915-8646 or by email at steve@kbelliott. co. People who want to know more about this company can also go to its website at www.kbelliott.com.

Tigers top Pirates, Comets to go to 5-0

The Princeton Tigers remained undefeated on the young season, plating two runs in the fifth inning and another in the sixth to defeat the Ottawa Pirates at King Field Tuesday, March 31, in Ottawa, 5-2.

Skye Behrends and Reiley Foes stroked consecutive RBI singles in the fifth, and Jake Reinhardt added another in the sixth as the Tigers improved to 5-0.

“We got some timely hits on the part of our boys, but we still weren’t as aggressive at the plate as we needed to be,” Princeton coach Tim Taylor told the Ottawa Times. “We let too many first-pitch strikes go by, but that’s something we’ll work on. It wasn’t a bad day in the field, and the pitching was pretty much on today against a good Ottawa team.”

Devils played like it was their first game of the season.

“We gave too many easy ones. Too many walks, too many errors and missed cuts. Stuff that necessarily doesn’t show up in the scorebook,” Hall coach Brian Holman said.

MANLIUS — One big inning is sometimes all you need, and the Hall Red Devils had theirs early Monday, March 30, at Bureau Valley. They plated three first inning runs and played solid defense the rest of the way to secure a 3-1 victory over the host Storm.

Starting pitcher Drew Fordham found himself in a jam early, down 1-0 in the first, two outs with runners on second and third and senior Josh McConnell at the plate.

McConnell hit a towering fly ball that junior center-fielder Will Konneck couldn’t get a handle on, allowing both runners to cross the plate to take an early 3-0 lead.

“I’m so happy with the way he pitched. I kept asking him how he felt and he kept telling me, ‘I feel phenomenal, I feel awesome,’ so I left him and he only got better,” BV coach Dave Shepard said.

The bats failed the Storm in the middle innings as they had trouble locating starting senior pitcher A.J. Gaeta’s pitches and went

three up and three down in four straight innings before breaking through in the sixth.

A one-out sixth-inning walk drawn by senior shortstop Josh Mead looked to get the Storm rolling.

After Mead stole second, Konneck connected on a ground ball that got through shortstop Cam McDonald, allowing Mead to score.

Gaeta kept his composure and got the next batter, senior first baseman Dylan Martin, to roll into a 4-6-3 double play hampering any momentum the Storm were trying to build.

Julian Barroso led the Red Devils’ offense going 1-for-4 with an RBI. “We’ve got to hit the ball more. I’m not going to worry about other things until we start putting the ball in play and start putting pressure on the other team.

We had seven at-bats to score three runs and we couldn’t do it,” Shepard said.

Gaeta did the heavy lifting on the mound, going six innings striking out eight, while only walk-

She stressed winning in everything they did, whether it was on the field or classroom or any aspect of life, she said.

“Winning really is a mindset.

It has taken years to build that, but we have it now. I think this group actually hates losing more than they love winning, but that mindset is okay with me, too. And because they think that way, they play hard, they play unselfishly and they do whatever it takes to win.”

Kevin Howard (‘94) was the top scorer for the Blue Team in the old-timers’ game with 17 points. Justin Smith, the quintessential PHS alum from 2004, showed his halftime shooting prowess is the real deal with four 3-pointers for 12 points.

Ben Rapp (‘98) led the White with 15 points.

To little surprise, Michael Murray (28) and Ryne Vrana (24) were the top scorers in the

younger alumni game.

Murray, who still hoops for Rockford University, got to play with his brother, Daniel, having been two years behind him in school.

Whitetails Unlimited banquet a big success Last week was a great banquet for Whitetails Unlimited. When I talked to banquet chairman Bob Stevens, he told me they planned for 200 and when it was all said and done, they sold 219. It seemed there was an overall feeling of “let’s have a good time tonight” at the banquet.

There is always a great selection of outdoor items the deer hunters can win.

It didn’t matter if it was a silent auction item, a live auction item, or a door prize, the prizes made a lot of people happy.

During the course of the evening, 20 firearms and two crossbows wound up in the hands of a lucky participant.

But the highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Gordon Shipp Memorial Award. This monetary grant is given in memory of Gordon Shipp, a longtime friend of many in attendance and a lover of the great outdoors. This year’s recipient was Chelsey Schierer.

Another outstanding award is the presentation of a lifetime hunting license to a youth at the banquet. This year’s winner was Brayden Bickett. He was accompanied to the banquet by someone who knows quite a bit about whitetails, Joe Bickett.

Bob Stevens told me to thank all those who came to the banquet, but I want to say thanks to Bob and his committee for the great job of organization. Well done.

Lots of things coming up in April. The first will be the opening of the inland trout season. Anglers will be in place Saturday, April 4 by 6 a.m. to try their luck at catching rainbow at the Hennepin Canal Parkway pond. Make sure you understand that it starts at 6 a.m., not 5 a.m. like some other state locations.

Each adult fisherman will need to have a current fishing license plus an inland

trout stamp.

This is a good opportunity for a grandpa and grandkids to spend a day together fishing. The limit is five per fisherman.

This is sponsored by the IDNR. The Spring Valley Walleye Club’s Illinois River Classic of last week turned out to be quite a success. The weather turned out better than what we thought, and the contestants caught fish. They are already making plans for next year.

The winners were local and that makes me happy, Joe Perez and Troy Tregoning. Third place went to Tom Giachetto Jr. and Tom Giachetto Sr. and fourth to the father and daughter duo of John and Jenna Dalzot.

Not only did the fishermen do well, but so did the IDNR. As most of you know, the IDNR is on hand to collect as many fish eggs as possible. Biologist Ken Clodfelter reported to me they collected a reported 18,000,000 eggs in a two-week period. When they get that much roe, it has to help the population in the Illinois River.

• I received an email from our friends at Black Bear Lodge. She stated she had five people drop from their list. How about it? I can have five more go with us.

Give me a call.

“Our offense was kind of what I expected because it’s totally different from hitting off of a tee or inside in the cage so we’ll work on that, but we had some positives. We rolled up a nice double play, had only one error and A.J. (Gaeta) threw the ball phenomenally and so did Adam

Fordham settled down after the rocky first inning, holding Hall scoreless over the last six innings. He allowed three doubles while recording nine strikeouts with one earned run over seven innings of work.

Happy Easter While bunnies are associated with Easter, the meaning behind the holiday is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus.

Easter, unlike many holidays, is movable, not falling on a fixed calendar date each year. This year Easter falls on April 5, and in the days before, children across the country will spend their time perfecting a beloved Easter tradition — the art of dyeing hard boiled eggs. Many organizations and municipalities in Bureau and Putnam counties will host Easter egg hunts this weekend for local children. Area churches will have special Easter services planned to celebrate the true meaning of the holiday.

It almost scared you to death.

That’s what it seemed like: Heart pounding, palms sweaty, legs weak — but still in one piece, breathing again, thankful Terri that you Schlichenmeyer only had a near-miss.

History, however, is not so benign, as you’ll see in “Dead Wake” by Erik Larson.

William Thomas Turner “excelled” at his job.

Though no one would call him charming — he hated pretending as such — Turner had steadfastly worked through the ranks to become Captain of the Cunard Steam-Ship Company’s Lusitania, a premiere ocean liner.

With over 200 successful trips across the Atlantic Ocean, “The ship endured.”

That record was important to her 1,265 passengers. Each of them appreciated the luxury (lengthy menus, gardens, and “20 cubic feet” of luggage allowed), and speed (up to 25 knots) that the Lusitania promised.

And since Germany had issued warnings to all ships entering British waters, passengers appreciated the ship’s safety, and they scoffed.

“The Lusitania was simply too big and too fast” for any real threat.

In Washington D.C., President Woodrow Wilson was doubly-bereft: with his wife Ellen dead not quite a year, he’d fallen in love again.

Edith Bolling Galt gently discouraged him as was war waged between Britain and Germany, but Wilson would do “all he could to keep America neutral” … and to get Edith to marry him.

To those who served with him, Kptlt. Walther Schweiger was a conundrum: known for his sense of humor with those aboard Unterseeboot-20, Schweiger was also renowned for his “callousness.”

Life aboard a German U-boat was not pleasant, but Schweiger ensured that his men were happy.

He had much less compassion for anyone on a ship in his sights.

On May 1, 1915, the Lusitania prepared to leave New York City en route to Liverpool, but

Cliffnotes “Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania” by Erik Larson. 2015, Crown. $28/$32.50 Canada. 431 pages. first, it had business to tend to: a nearby British luxury liner had been conscripted and its passengers re-assigned.

Getting them aboard took an extra two hours; the Lusitania, therefore, was late getting out to sea.

Says Larson, “Even the briefest delay could shape history.”

So you think you know what happened nearly a century ago. So did author Erik Larson but as he researched, he “quickly realized how wrong” he was about the Lusitania.

And so will you, as you immerse yourself inside “Dead Wake.”

This story of a ship, however, wouldn’t be nearly as fascinating without the story of those hating it, in charge of it, on it, and not on it. Indeed, as Larson tells a thousand tiny stories of passengers and foes, bravery and duty, we become wrapped up in each tale, needing to know each individual fate. It’s also, therefore, easy to become uneasy: menace is like fog here because we know. Larson’s account of this historic event made me want to scream “Watch out!” loud enough to be heard 100 years ago.

While it’s a sure-bet for historians, I also think thriller fans will love this book, too.

If your heart doesn’t pound while reading “Dead Wake,” in fact, get it checked. You might be dead, too.

for friends or a family dinner, celebrate the holiday by creating a beautifully set table. For the centerpiece, create a handmade “nest” out of branches or crinkle paper and place it on top of a cake plate – this is the perfect place to showcase your children’s beautifully decorated eggs. Complement the “egg nest” with small bud vases of single blooms and pastel napkins to create pops of color around the table.

Party treats Easter wouldn’t be Easter without delicious treats! To show you are the host with the most, consider setting up a candy buffet and invite guests to pick a selection of their favorite sweets.

Keep in mind that not everyone has the same tastes, so be sure to offer an assortment of treats, like a selection of milk and dark chocolates, lollypops, springtime truffles, and sour bunnies for pucker-up fun.
