TCI expands by 30,000 square feet ​By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

WALNUT — TCI Manufacturing of Walnut has expanded three times in the last decade to 100,000 square feet at the company’s facility located on the west edge of Walnut on Route 92.

“Since we build a variety of items for different industries, the company’s diversity between custom and standard product lines helps, “ said TCI General Manager Jack Ackerman. “It protects us. That is not by accident. It is by design. There has been some strategic planning to

get us to that point. We feel we are in a great position because of our diversity.”

In 2000, Mike Maynard started TCI. In 2007, the company had its first major expansion followed by another expansion in 2012.

In 2016, it expanded again by 30,000 square feet, con-

sisting of 100,000 square feet of total manufacturing space under one roof.

“We are a little congested right now,” he said. “It will be good to spread out a little.”

The company will move into its latest expansion area in the next few weeks. Wal-

nut got behind the company after its plans to move to Princeton fell through, added Ackerman.

“We want to grow every year and are planning our next expansion on property across the road we bought recently,” he said. “We have added to bookkeeping,

Philhower, 98, died Thursday, April 14. He was a member of the Tiskilwa Fire Department for 48 years, a member of the Tiskilwa Business Association, and a charter member of the Lions Club when it organized in 1965. Having served as mayor of Tiskilwa for 16 years, Philhower was remembered by fellow members of the village of which he was so instrumental.

“I don’t think there’s anybody who did more for Tiskilwa than Char-

lie Philhower,” Ron Behrends said, having served with Philhower for eight years on the village board and joining him as a Lion as well. “With his knowledge and the amount of time he donated, he was one of the most active leaders Tiskilwa has seen.”

Behrends said Philhower always did the research necessary before bringing anything to the circle of discussion, as to help his fellow board

Learning to conserve Students study energy and efficiency at the Ladd Energy Fair

By Dave Cook dcook@bcrnews.com

BCR photo/Terri Simon

Crash sends several to hospital The Princeton Police and Fire EMS responded to a two-vehicle accident on Friday, April 15, afternoon at the corner of Putnam and Randolph streets. A vehicle driven by Cody Broadus, 33, of Princeton failed to yield from a stop intersection to an oncoming vehicle driven by Rebecca S. Isaacson, 69, of Princeton. Both vehicles sustained major damage, and there were multiple injuries to passengers in the Broadus vehicle. Both vehicles were towed from the scene, and numerous passengers were taken to Perry Memorial Hospital for treatment.

LADD — The Ladd School District held its first Energy Fair on the evening of April 13 and were pleased with the results. Students have been studying the fundamentals of energy science and also the best ways of how to conserve power.

Science teacher Holly Flanagan said, “The kids have been learning a lot; there’s been a lot of hands-on projects and fun science.”

Part of the Energizing Student Potential (ESP) grant and sponsored by the Natural Energy Education Development (NEED) proj-

ect, students gathered at the fair to share what they had learned about the different aspects of energy and how to best conserve it. Some of the projects included the differences between types of light bulbs, geothermal energy and the effects of proper insulation.

NEED also sent a representative to perform an energy audit on the school with students and maintenance staff, providing a hands-on, real-world example of energy conservation.

“As a newer school, our building did well. The audit did show some of our rooms were too bright, so we’ve been able to show the stu-

dents a direct way to apply what they’ve learned,” teacher Laura Hultquist said.

The students will also be taking a field trip to Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry to visit the new Future Energy Chicago exhibit. This exhibit focuses on the energy consumption of society and the potential of sustainable designs. The simulation lab allows visitors to re-imagine Chicago’s power usage and see how their choices, both big and small, effect energy consumption and the rest of the community.

capabilities by painting and/or cutting and burning parts to keep fabricators working on the first shift.

There are fewer people working the second and third shifts, but the company has plans to grow those shifts as well, reported Ackerman.

“Around 70 people are employed at the facility, a 15 percent increase in one year. We have no intention of stopping that growth,” he said.

“By design, we are very diverse.

When Mike first started the company, the primary focus was construction aggregates. That is for limestone quarries and gravel pits making concrete, stone and asphalt. When the country is growing, they are building roads, bridges and stores, housing developments, etc. When those areas are growing, our company builds the equipment for those companies in that industry,” stated Ackerman.

The boom in fracking industry throughout the past four to five years has also helped TCI out after construction aggregate slowed down in 2008. With the fracking industry taking off, the need for silica sand was huge and the companies that extracted the sand from the ground was huge for TCI, added Ackerman.

TCI was able to make the products used to extract the sand for oil fracking companies. The Utica sand plant on Interstate 80 was all done at TCI including the conveyors, silos, bucket elevators and all the structures. Other plants in the area like Fairmount Minerals in Wedron and plants in Ohio, Texas, Michigan, Oklahoma and the Dakotas were all constructed at TCI. “The fracking industry is going downhill because OPEC has flooded the American market with cheap oil due to fracking making this country the largest exporter of natural gas in the world,” he said. “TCI and its employee are better off when gas prices are higher because more people are being hired, and the company is expanding operations when our company is going well. When the company isn’t doing well, there are layoffs and no investments in expansion. There is a real trade off because gas prices at $3.50 a gallon will be good for the TCI and the local economy. Silica sand companies indicate when crude oil is at $60 a barrel or higher, it becomes profitable for fracking oil companies to drill, he added.”

Ackerman, who has been employed at TCI for eight years in the sales and estimator departments, was promoted to general manager in the last year. Maynard is still president of the company. Ackerman had worked 23 years in construction before started working at TCI Manufacturing Inc. in Walnut.

stay safe and productive in life ... and that means knowing what their kids are up to.

Community Partners Against Substance Abuse (CPASA) has been putting on educational clinics called “Hidden in Plain Sight” throughout the area recently. These clinics stage a bedroom setting of a teenager, so parents can pinpoint items in their child’s environment which will cause that child harm.

On Wednesday, April 13, CPASA set up a “Hidden in Plain Sight” bedroom at Neponset Grade School. Adults — all over the mandated age of 21 — took the time to walk through the staged setting and look for items and objects which might raise red flags.

They were then given a drug seminar from Princeton Police Chief Tom Root — the details of which can be found in the second story in this series on Tuesday, April 19 — before stepping back into the bedroom, where markers had been placed to indicate all the questionable items.

Dawn Conerton, CPASA project coordinator, said parents might notice the obvious things in their teenager’s room, but different items that mimic real life objects are used to conceal drugs or alcohol, and these might be more difficult to spot.

“If you don’t physically pick stuff up to look at it, you won’t notice things,” Conerton said, an energetic advocate of the community’s health and well-being. “Kids will use things that trick their parents and the public,

Philhower From Page 1 members to make good decisions for the town.

“He was very straightforward, and I have utmost respect for the man,” Behrends said.

Doris Hamilton, a Tiskilwa native who taught school in the village for decades, said her husband Bill followed Charlie as mayor, which gave her personal insight on the hard-working Philhower.

“Charlie was a very dedicated man, and the town he loved was always his first priority,” Hamilton said. “You would see him not just administrating at board meetings, but actually out working and doing things in the town — like fixing sidewalks — that helped everybody.”

Hamilton said Philhower was a man with his own opinions, and not too many people swayed him from them; but he was a good leader and did a great job as a mayor.

Don Lawson, who has been in Tiskilwa 80 years, said he did a lot of work with Philhower, from the econom-

so they can use their drugs.”

Conerton gave a presentation to the crowd, citing specific examples of things to look for. A beer can with a fake wrapper around it; a Dr. Pepper can — that weighs and sounds the same as a can full of soda — that unscrews and has a storage compartment inside. A water bottle that unscrews or a book with a secret compartment in it; a camera or a phone case that is a flask or an e-cigarette.

Many items can be used to store or disperse drugs or alcohol, and she said parents need to talk to their children and be aware of their activities ... because you never know.

“We don’t want the kids to know we’re on to them, so we don’t talk about it outside of the setting here, and no one under the age of 21 is allowed into the ‘Hidden in Plain Sight’ rooms,” Conerton said, adding CPASA is based in Bureau and Putnam Counties, and they are always looking for new members to flush area communities of those potential dangers.

An exhibit of current street drugs — all having been confiscated from area arrests — were on full display in the gymnasium for parents to get a close-up view of the dangers their children face in this modern age of experimentation.

Your child’s safety and health matters. Be a part of their experience, and interact with their environment because no one wants their child to turn to drugs because their parents didn’t care enough to stop them.

“He did a lot for the village behind the scenes, and he worked hard to make sure the sewer system was put in and worked well,” Lawson said, noting the village has had good luck with the sewer system because of Philhower’s work on getting grants and demanding a quality job.

“You knew exactly where you stood with him, no doubt, because he told it the way it was. If you like it alright, well good, and if you didn’t, that was just too bad,” Lawson said with a chuckle.

Lawson remembers former Pow Wow Days celebrations in the village where vendors were asking high prices for kid’s games from children who “didn’t have two nickels to rub together.” Philhower walked right up and took the price tag off the games, letting all the kids play for free.

“He had a good heart, even if you didn’t see it until you knew the man, and he did a tremendous amount of good for the village of Tiskilwa.”

From the editor’s desk What a beautiful weekend! I love the brisk morning temperatures and the way the sun feels on my face in the afternoon. I also love the way the sun lingers a Terri bit longer every Simon day in the western sky. While there are COMMENTARY never enough hours in the day for me to get everything accomplished on my list, the longer days kind of help a bit.

I wonder if there’s a place in our country where the temps/weather were similar all year long to what spring feels like in Bureau County — a place where the temperatures were moderate all year long with no snow and no steamy summers. Not sure if something like that exists, but I’d be tempted to think about living there someday.

••• It’s good to see our area athletes back on the baseball/ softball/Little League/T-ball diamonds. There’s a certain feeling of fun in the air at these games — regardless of the age of the players. If you haven’t been to a game recently, plan to do so soon. I guarantee you’ll leave feeling good about the youthful participants and the great sportsmanship one always sees in Bureau County.

And a big round of applause to all the coaches and parents who help make America’s No. 1 sport such a positive thing for our area youth. I’m sure you’re helping to make some great memories for your young players.

••• On behalf of the Bureau County Republican, I’d like to extend our deepest sympathy to the family of the late Gary Coates. Most of us in the building have worked with Gary in some capacity throughout the years — whether it was covering a sporting event, a school board meeting, or even having him as teacher in high school.

In the newspaper business, we work with a lot of people, and it’s not often we come across a man like Gary, whose integrity, credibility and honesty were second to none. Gary made a huge impact in every endeavor, and he will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Gary was truly an honorable man.

••• I’ve heard from many of you who are enjoying our latest edition of our Illinois Valley Living magazine. I’m glad you like it. If you have any story ideas for our Summer 2016 edition, feel free to send me an email at tsimon@ bcrnews.com.

••• I’d like to take this opportunity to thank any of you who voted for me as your favorite newspaper columnist in our 2016 Readers Choice Awards. As most of you know, I put my heart and soul into those columns and to have you notice means more than you know. Thanks again. You made my day!

••• On the horizon: BCR Staff Writer Eric Engel has been working for months on a special section you will receive in your newspaper at the end of the month. It’s titled, “Heroin Hits Home,” and it’s an up close and investigative section about heroin in the Illinois Valley. While the subject is not a pleasant one, I have to tell you the work on this section is second to none. I hope you’ll take time to read these stories that will, no doubt, cause you to not just learn about this national epidemic, but to also realize the impact this awful drug has had on so many in the Illinois Valley The subjects in this story — addicts, emergency personnel, police, family members and more — have been brutally honest. It’s a special section that will bring tears to your eyes and cause your heart to break. I hope it’s a section you’ll also share with everyone in your family as well as your friends and neighbors. Our goal is to inform, but if we can make a difference in someone’s decision to use or not use heroin ... well, that would be the ultimate.

Watch for it.

••• I hope you have a great week. Friday is Earth Day. Try to make a difference. Plant a tree or some flowers. Pick up trash in your neighborhood. Do something to make the world a more beautiful place. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR. BCR Editor Terri Simon can be reached at tsimon@ bcrnews.com.

On the street

Earth Day is April 22. What can people do locally to protect our environment?

“We should plant more native plants that don’t require watering. It’s also important to clean our homes with nontoxic cleaners.”

Lori Biggs, Princeton

“We can plant more trees to help protect our environment.”

Marie Hoeffliger, Princeton

“I think it’s important to use environmentally-safe lawn care products to protect our water supply.”

Roy Hoffeditz, Tiskilwa

“We can help the Earth by eating food that is grown locally and in the Midwest by supporting farmers’ markets and local growers.”

Gary Campbell, Princeton

“I believe continuing with our recycling efforts to minimize what goes into our landfills, and it also teaches our children good habits for the future that they can continue to build on.”

Connie Skaggs, Princeton

A small idea with big potential and a good way to do business Lori Rumbold, owner of the Optimal Health shop across from Darius Miller Park, has a good idea. It’s a perfect example of how we can get more value for every dollar we spend.

Here’s how it works. Rather than automatically sending 2 to 3 percent of every sale to an out-of-town credit card company, she wants to do something more important — devote what she saves to local causes.

She still welcomes credit card payments, of course. But Lori kindly suggests customers pay her in cash or by check when they can. Every dollar she doesn’t send to Visa or Mastercard for administrative costs, she will donate to a group in Princeton. She estimates it may start with $100 or so per month and will increase as her customers get into the spirit.

That may seem like small change.

But imagine how this idea could grow if other Princeton businesses followed her example! It doesn’t cost customers a penny. In fact, it saves money twice, reducing costs to both cardholders and merchants.

And it keeps the money circulating right here in Bureau County.

Little things like Lori Rumbold’s offer can make a bigger difference than you might think. It illustrates that there’s more to economic development than money, especially if we take our existing resources into account. Those resources include natural, social, cultural, spiritual and individual assets.

Consider our natural capital for instance. The farmland and forests that attracted so many settlers to Illinois in the first place are still here. If we are good stewards, our children and grandchildren can

Rick Brooks COMMENTARY enjoy this land as much as we do.

Good stewardship pays off. Other forms of community capital matter, too. They include what we often take for granted until it needs fixing: buildings, streets, machines and electronic connections between those things; the power grid, pipes, wires, water and sewage infrastructure, and invisible systems that can both compromise and optimize our relation to nature.

Then there is individual capital — our skills, knowledge and ability to accomplish work and follow through on our commitments.

Unlike the often invisible costs of Internet purchases or credit card transactions, the personal touch of face-to-face shopping at locally-owned businesses can be guided by values like kindness and generosity. Goodwill, good intentions and actions can genuine value.

If we are honest, we admit that each us cannot accomplish everything we want by ourselves. Hard times often teach us what good times allow us to forget. To thrive, we require social capital — relationships, networks and a stock of trust; what we do for each other beyond dollars and cents. That’s where Lori Rumbold comes into the picture.

She bases her business on customer service and helping people have healthier lives. In return, she has a loyal, devoted — and growing — customer base.

The well of compassion and caring for our neighbors is deep, and it fuels an immense power for good.

Rooted in churches and faith, our creative and spiritual capital are almost limitless.

The money part, of course, is not insignificant. We often forget that residents of Illinois have billions of dollars in savings and retirement programs, mostly in corporate stocks and bonds outside the state; in other words, somewhere else.

What could happen, say, if we each decided to move at least 10 percent of our expenditures and investments out of there and back to here?

One direct result is that we could support people we know who are doing important things that we appreciate. By being aware of where our money goes, we could increase community capital in all its forms.

Do our local, state and federal planning and development policies take all of these forms of capital into account as much as dollars?

No. Does the “too big to fail” banking and corporate finance system care about what happens in Bureau County, Illinois? No. But we do.

As our mothers used to say, this all begins at home. It can be reinforced in church, school and neighborhoods if we Think Local First when we make day-to-day purchases and long-term investments.

If we follow Lori Rumbold’s lead, the returns from those investments can be healthy, indeed. And the dividends will be more likely to go to the Princeton Youth Baseball and Softball League, for instance, than the CEO at Chase Manhattan Bank.

Amelia Curran will perform at Princeton Coffeehouse on April 23 PRINCETON — Canadian singer-songwriter Amelia Curran will perform at the Princeton Coffeehouse at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 23.

The coffeehouse is located at the Open Prairie United Church of Christ, 25 E. Marion St. in Princeton. Doors will open at 7 p.m.

Born in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Curran started playing guitar and writing songs as a teenager. She eventually dropped out of college in order to busk on the streets of St. John’s. She released her first album in 2000. In 2010, she received a prestigious Juno Award in the category of Roots and Traditional Album of the Year. Last year, Curran’s most recent album, “They Promised You Mercy,” was also nominated for the Juno Award.

The National Post calls Curran’s music as “a bit like Leonard Cohen being channeled in a dusty saloon by Patsy Cline.” Her lyrics have been described as “evocative” by Spinner Canada who, referring to Curran’s song “The Mistress,” wrote that “like the best poets, Curran packs so much meaning into each line that the listener barely has time to register each clever lyric before the next zinger comes along.”

In addition to a Juno, Curran has won several other

Storm nose out Lady Devils

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — The Hall and Bureau Valley girls battled to the very end in Saturday’s Rollie Morris Invite at Hall High School.

The Storm gained firstplace finishes from Haley Weidner in the 1600 and Tianna Kennedy in the 200 and took second in the 4x400 to nose out the meet host 136-129 for the title.

BV coach Dale Donner said while it may have been decided by those final three events, there were many other finishes that got the Storm to that point.

“Sometimes everyone thinks about the final couple events, but we need to remember back to times early in the meet also,” he said. “People like Heather Williams passing two runners on the final lap in the 4x800, and Alex Geary getting third in the high jump are sometimes forgotten ...

Baseball: Princeton 1-7, Mendota 9-6

Tigers rally late for split with Trojans

By Bill Schwabenland sports@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton Tigers’ boys varsity baseball team improved to 7-2, staging an impressive two-run rally in the bottom of the seventh inning to overtake the Mendota Trojans, 7-6, in Game 2 of a doubleheader Saturday, April 16, at Prather Field.

Mendota took the first game, 9-1, on the strength

of an eight-run sixth inning offensive outburst.

“Second game was a nice win. First game was a tough loss, one bad inning.

Hopefully, we learn from that,” said Princeton coach Tim Taylor. “We made this (win) harder than it had to be, but we came back and got it. And that’s a quality of a good team. Our kids kept their heads in the game, and that’s a big deal.”

In Game 2, Mendota sophomore Ben Bokus was

very nearly the hero for the Trojans in the top of the seventh inning, as his bases-loaded double to deep right center field cleared the bases and suddenly put Mendota in front, 6-5.

But Princeton came through in the bottom of the seventh.

Skye Behrends singled.

With one out, Levi Bates doubled to deep left field, and the Tigers had runners on second and third with only one out.

Mendota intentionally walked Jett Wedekind, who had previously homered to left field leading off the bottom of the second frame, to load the bases Isaac Salazar’s bloop, RBI single to right-center field knotted the game at 6. Then Bates scored the winning run on an infield, errant throw to the plate off the bat of Garrett Allen, and Princeton earned a split of

Haley Weidner scored a double in distance by winning the 3200 (12:33.97) and the 1600 (5:48.81). The 1600 did not come easy. Weidner led for the first two laps only to be passed by Henry/Midland’s Ronna Pettis. Weidner overtook Pettis and held her off the stretch for the win with a time by less than 0.30.

Donner told Weidner it was a gutty performance.

“It is nice to see that relay starting to take shape,” Hanck said.

Hall also got seconds from Moreno in the 800 (2:35.62), Tanja Acamovic in the 300 hurdles (50.29), Jenna Lusietto in the high jump (4-11) and the 4x100 (52.93) with Quinn, Acamovic, Alicyn Olson and

DeVenney said the Storm’s upperclassmen continue to carry the team with their leadership and performances, “Our juniors and seniors are very steady, and we know what we are going to get from them,” he said. “We had some sophomores and freshmen step up and run well. We have a few injuries and sicknesses going on so it was nice to see them take their opportunities and do well.”

Host Hall finished ninth (34.5) as a team with seconds from Simon Burcham in the shot (44-8), Nick Edgecomb in the high jump (5-8) and Nick Stoner in the pole vault (9-6).

Princeton senior right Levi Bates makes his pitch for the Tigers Saturday at Prather Field vs. Mendota.

Tigers From Page 9 split of the double-header.

Jake Reinhardt lost out on the save chance but earned the pitching win when his team rallied in the bottom of the seventh inning of Game 2.

The Tigers pounded out 14 hits in Game 2, 11 more than Game 1.

In Game 1, Garet Zinke’s fifth home run of the season staked the Trojans to a 1-0 lead in the top of

the fifth.

Then, Mendota’s first eight hitters in the top of the sixth reached base and all of them scored, as the Trojans suddenly led, 9-0.

Behrends’ RBI single to right field scored Wedekind in the bottom of the seventh inning to deny the Mendota shutout. Mendota senior Evan Weber pitched one-hit, shutout baseball over six innings to earn the victory in Game 1.

“That was the best I’ve seen Weber throw all year,” said Mendota coach

Aaron Sester. “The most impressive thing was his location, down in the zone, down in the zone, down in the zone. He fell behind a couple hitters, but, mentally, (after that) he threw strike one and strike two.

“We played really, really well today, all around, both games.

Everybody contributed. It’s great to see, because we came out against a quality opponent (in Princeton) and played really well.”
