CPASA: Get rid of old medicines

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — It’s time again for residents in Bureau and Putnam counties, as well as people across the country, to clear their homes of unwanted and expired prescription medicines.

For the eighth time in the last four years, the Community Partners Against Substance Abuse (CPASA) and area police departments are partnering with the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to collect unwanted, expired, and unused prescrip-

tion drugs as part of the national Take-Back Day, set for this Saturday, April 26.

CPASA coordinator Dawn Conerton said Saturday’s Take Back Day is another opportunity for people to prevent potential pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes

of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs.

The local response and support for the Take Back Day, along with the ongoing local Prescription Pill Drug Disposal (P2D2) program, has been amazing from

both Bureau and Putnam counties, Conerton said.

To date, more than 5,500 pounds of prescription drugs have been collected locally since the P2D2 program began in July 2010, she said.

People can bring their unwanted medicines in their pill bottles or con-

tainers, or they can also take the pills out of the bottles and put them in a baggy, whatever is easiest for them to do, Conerton said. People also need to note Saturday’s collection will also be for pet/animal medicines.

Friends ready for annual book sale More than 9,000 titles available ... and more

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Friends of the Princeton Public Library are revving up for its 30th annual April used book sale, beginning this Thursday.

The sale offers more than 9,000 cleaned, sorted, good quality books priced anywhere

from .50 cents to $1. In the past, the sale has attracted buyers from around the area and state.

The books are collected donations from Princeton and the surrounding area.

Monies raised from the sale are donated back to the library to help fund programming, such as the children’s summer reading program, and also help bring

an array of other opportunities to patrons.

Jill VanAcker, a member of the Friends since 2007, said the book sales have raised about $113,000. She said each year, the Friends aim to donate $10,000.

“The library is always changing; it never stays static,” she explained. “They’re always trying to think of new ways to bring the people in. Always try-

ing to change things up. This town is a civic-minded town, so if you have that, you need a library that can support that. and it just adds to the town.”

This year’s sale will be held in the Friend’s new book sale room, located in the rear portion of the library. In past years, people have flocked to the Bureau County Fairgrounds for the annual sale. The location

New Medicaid rules in 2014 ​By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — While the deadline to enroll in a marketplace insurance plan under the Affordable Care Act ended March 31, in-person counselors are still out and about educating citizens about the new qualifications for the Medicaid program.

Deb Roush, in-person counselor with the TriCounty Opportunities Council, explained with the new Affordable Care Act law, Illinois was one of the states that chose to expand the Medicaid program to cover low income adults who were not caregivers.

“This is a big step.

There are a lot of people in this area who fall into this category and may not know they are eligible now,” explained Roush.

“With Medicaid, people can apply and enroll anytime, any day of the year.

There is no deadline.”

Medicaid targets those who make little to no

“This is a big step. There are a lot of people in this area who fall into this category and may not know they are eligible now.”

Deb Roush income. Individuals who make less than $315 a week and couples who make less than $425 a week can now qualify for Medicaid coverage.

“There is a lot of misinformation around about the Affordable Care Act. If people are not aware of how it works and what it offers, they tend to automatically think ‘I don’t make much money; I can’t afford anything.’

When the fact is they can with this Medicaid program,” Roush explained.

While it has been explained to many that those who didn’t enroll in health coverage would face a penalty, Roush

explained that citizens who are under the filing threshold, who make less than around $10,000 a year, will not be penalized for not having insurance.

“Also, the new law won’t penalize those who qualified for Medicaid for the time they weren’t covered,” she said, pointing out that people who may be afraid of a penalty, have no need to worry about paying that extra fee.

Local community agencies like Tri-County Opportunities Council and Bureau and Putnam Health Department have partnered with the

Department of Human Services, providing local in-person counselors who can assist people with the program application.

Currently, outreach workers are targeting the low income population to make sure they have health coverage.

Those who do not are encouraged to meet with counselors to help get enrolled.

Roush is one of many who plans to be out in the community making sure everyone is covered under the new law.

“I plan to attend churches, social services,and businesses to try to get the word out and help as many people as possible,” she said.

“There are some people who haven’t had health coverage in 30 years, so there are a lot of questions about the new law.

But overall when most become familiar with it, we see a lot of relief and happiness.”

BBB warns donors of fake Boston Marathon charities CHICAGO — The Boston Marathon, one of the nation’s most popular sporting events, took place on Monday, and was the 118th annual race with more than 36,000 runners. During last year’s race three people were killed and 264 others were injured by two bombs that exploded near the finish line. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) warns consumers to be aware of illegitimate charities and scams that surround the anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing.

“After tragic events, scammers often play to the emotions of consumers seeking donations to special funds that don’t exist or that improperly distribute the donations,” said Steve J. Bernas, president/CEO of Better Business Bureau serving Chi-

cago and Northern Illinois. “Consumers need to do careful research before donating to any charity that claims to be involved with the Boston Marathon.”

The BBB offers the following tips when giving to charities: • Thoughtful giving. Take the time to check out the charity to avoid wasting your generosity by donating to a questionable or poorly managed effort. Be proactive and find trusted charities that are providing assistance.

• State government registration. About 40 of the 50 states require charities to register with a state government agency before they solicit for charitable gifts. If the charity is not registered, that may be a significant red flag.

• Respecting victims

and their families. Organizations raising funds should get permission from the families to use either their names and/ or photographs of them.

• How will donations be used? Watch out for vague appeals that don’t identify the intended use of funds. How will donations help victims’ families or the specific organizations? Make sure the charity identifies when the collected funds will be used.

• Online cautions. Never click on links to charities on unfamiliar websites or in text messages or emails.

These may take you to a lookalike website where you could be asked to provide personal financial information or to click on a link that downloads harmful malware to your computer.

• Financial transpar-

ency. After funds are raised, it is even more important for organizations to provide an accounting of how funds were spent. Transparent organizations will post this information on their website so anyone can find out and not have to wait until the audited financial statements are available in the future.

• Tax deductibility. Not all organizations collecting funds are tax-exempt as charities under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Donors can support these other entities but keep this in mind for federal income tax purposes. Contributions that are donor-restricted to help a specific individual/family are not deductible as charitable donations, even if the recipient organization is a charity.

DIXON — Former Dixon Comptroller Rita Crundwell will not appeal to have her prison sentence reduced.

Paul Gaziano, her federal public defender, said this week that Crundwell won’t appeal her sentence – 19 years, 7 months – to the full 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals or to the U.S. Supreme Court, which wouldn’t have to consider the appeal.

When Crundwell was sentenced last year for stealing nearly $54 million from the city of Dixon throughout two decades, the judge ruled she must serve 85 percent, or more than 16 years, of the prison term. When Crundwell is freed, she will be subject to three years of federal supervision.

In November, a threejudge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago unanimously affirmed the sentence, calling it “substantively reasonable.”

Gaziano had appealed Crundwell’s sentence on the grounds it varied too far from the sentencing guidelines and that more merit should have been given for the former comptroller’s cooperation

with authorities after her arrest.

Thursday marked the two-year anniversary of Crundwell’s arrest at Dixon City Hall. She was sentenced Feb. 14, 2013.

Crundwell is serving her sentence in Waseca, Minn., in a low-security prison that houses 1,058 female inmates.

She is allowed to have up to 10 books or magazines “neatly stored” on a shelf in her cell, according to the prison’s handbook.

Her clothes – green pants, green shirts, coats and jumper dresses – have labels with her name, inmate number and laundry number. Sweatshirts can be worn, according to the handbook, as long as they are worn over one of the facility’s green shirts.

Crundwell can have no more than 25 personal letters in her cell and can have 25 loose photographs, according to the handbook. Any additional photographs must be in a photo album and stored in her assigned locker.

Her inmate number is 44540-424.

And her release date is March 5, 2030, when she will be 77.

From the editor’s desk Wow! Last week was such a busy week. First and foremost, many churches held services and Easter celebrations. I hope your personal Easter was blessed with the presence of family and friends, squeals from the youngsters when they discovered special treats ... and at least a bit of time for some personal reflection as you consider the Easter story and how it pertains to your individual lives.

I remember so many Easter holidays from when I was growing up — like the time the Easter Bunny left a box of baby Terri chicks for us. And another time when my Simon Uncle Greg — just eight years older than me — was playing with his new paddle ball from his Easter basket (that wooden paddle with a little red ball attached), and he was being so crazy that the little red ball came detached from the rubber band, hit and broke the livingroom lamp, and he got spanked with the paddle! Hope you made some Easter memories this year!

••• I had the opportunity to chat last week with Michael Berlinger, director of art conservation and president of Heritage Restoration and Design Studio in Peoria — the company that did the fabulous restoration work at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Arlington. The work this company did on this church has been fabulous. This company is no stranger to Bureau County, since they have also done work at Holy Trinity in Cherry and St. Patrick’s in Sheffield, plus I understand it has also done work in Tiskilwa, Spring Valley, Dalzell and Ladd.

The six-generation company traces its roots back to 1820 in Germany and also works on courthouses, executive offices, healthcare facilities and historic homes.

••• As I read stories in last week’s Bureau County Republican, I found myself applauding many efforts of folks from throughout the county. Here are a few of things I believe deserve applause: • At last week’s Spring Valley City Council meeting, Mayor Walt Marini announced his selection to replace the late Alderman Mark Actis. His suggestion to fill the seat is Deb Baltikauski. Marini said after thinking long and hard about the open position, he felt the council — which is currently made up of seven men — could use the perspective of a lady.

“This would enhance the council,” he said. “We all know women look at things differently than men. I think that outlook can be beneficial to our decisions and the people of Spring Valley.”

Your comment got my attention, Mr. Mayor, and a big round of applause from this lady.

• Last week, LaMoille Community Unit School District held an open house and town hall meeting to discuss the district’s recent accomplishments and future goals with the public. Applause to the school district for holding the event, and a big high five to all the community members who attended.

• The village of DePue also held an open house meeting last week to view the first copy of the village’s comprehensive plan that provides guidelines and ideas on how to better improve the village. I’m so impressed with a village board that asks for ideas and comments from the people they represent.

Good for you DePue Village Board and an equal round of applause to those village residents who made their voices heard.

On the street

Earth Day is today, Tuesday. When you think of a beautiful world, what do you think of?

“I think of clean air, clean oceans, plants, flowers and animals.”

Brielle Conwell, Malden

“I think of the simplicity of nature itself, without manmade structures.”

Eric May, Princeton

“I think of clear air, clean water, beautiful skies and God’s beautiful creations.”

Gary Patterson, Princeton

“I think of a place with no violence.”

Travis Rossler, Malden

“I think of trees, the bayou, cypress trees with Spanish moss and getting together with family.”

Chad Fruge, Wyanet

This, that and the odder I frequently receive compliments on my columns. I want to respond by saying, if you lived in the same household I do, you could write columns too. Almost every day there is something truly hilarious that happens in our house that provides me with great material. However, thank you for all your kind words. It means a lot to me.

This winter has been very harsh. The effects of the winter have been good and bad. I read that the nasty Japanese beetles will hopefully not be as plentiful this year. It got so cold out and the ground froze so deep their grubs, with any luck, all died. I’m sure they’ll be back, but a small reprieve would be nice. One of the negative effects has been on the bees. Some of you may know that my mom is a beekeeper. She has been beekeeping for about three years. All of the beekeepers this year have seen big losses in their bees. Most have lost at least 50 percent of their hives. My mom lost more than 75 percent. She will now need to buy new bees.

As I was driving on the interstate the other day, I was shocked when I started thinking about the speed limit change. Yeah, it’s great you can go faster, and everybody can go 70 mph legally, but have you ever thought about how much the state of Illinois had to spend to raise the speed limit 5 mph?

Why is it that important to change

Amelia Bystry COMMENTARY the speed limit? People already assume, as an unwritten rule, that you should be safe to drive 5 mph over the limit. I am very careful when it comes to spending my money, and it seems to me like a complete waste to use taxpayers’ dollars on an unnecessary 5 mph speed limit increase. Especially when the state is already broke.

People get in trouble every day in our family. Sometimes it is for something more common like hitting or biting; then there are the humorous things that you would never expect children to do. For Patience’s birthday, she received lots of princess figures. She is very controlling of these items and does not want to share them with anyone. Well, one day they just disappeared, and we couldn’t find them anywhere. We were sure something fishy was going on. The next day Patience came downstairs crying and saying, “Simeon and Faustina are mean.” My mom asked her why, and Patience very loudly explained that there was something on the bottom or her princess figures. It looked a lot like wood.

My mom called for Faustina and Simeon to come downstairs and

asked them if they knew what was on the bottom of her figures. They then cautiously explained they had super glued them to the hardwood floor upstairs. Of course, it was the other persons’ fault and idea. My mom was wrathful, but my dad thought it was comical and had to work hard to hide his laughter. After they were sent upstairs, he told my mom she would find it funny some day. We were able to get the princesses off the floor, but we now have figure size chunks of wood out of our floor. Thank goodness they are where nobody will see them.

I am quite sure that my 3-month-old brother is a child prodigy and will grow up to be a professional head lifter upper.

Almost everyone who has ever seen him has commented in awe of how well he can lift his head. They will say “Wow look how good he can hold his head up.” My mom and I think it is absolutely hilarious. Is he rather skilled because he can hold up his head? It is the dream of any parent to have an exceptional child, but you would never think that a star would be born for their outstanding muscular skull talent.

And by the way ... Look out BCR readers! I officially receive my driver’s license on April 24.

Specialized Rehabilitation Services Therapies to alleviate pain, restore function and improve mobility, until you are ready to go home.

“The care at Liberty Village went way beyond my expectations” I recently had a hip replacement and I heard that Liberty Village had a wonderful Bounce Back physical rehabilitation department. I visited the facility and it felt more like a week-end retreat. I was a little anxious but after seeing the beautiful facilities and meeting with the administrator and department heads I became relaxed. The staff, nurses and CNA’s are all very conscientious of your needs and extremely willing to help you any way they can.

Their main objective is to work with you to get you back to your full potential and to be able to go home. The food is excellent and you get choices with plenty to eat. The over-all care was excellent. I would definitely return to Liberty Village if the need ever arose again. I thank them all from the bottom of my heart!

10 Earth Day 10 • Tuesday, April 22, 2014

Bureau County Republican • bcrnews.com

... and why it’s important Well this year the forecast for Earth Day, followed up by Arbor Day two days later, appears to be bringing outstanding weather. It could have come sooner, as I’m sure you would all agree. After enduring such a long, harsh winter, I’ve noticed people flooding to the outdoors as though they have been jailed all winter. I know the harsh conditions over the past few months helps me appreciate the outdoors that much more, so don’t be surprised if you actually find me hugging a tree in gratitude.

With warm weather, phone calls are not far behind, with requests for diagnosing plant issues or just getting ideas on spring planting. I often hear, “What can I do to help on Earth/Arbor Day?” It can be something as simple as replanting a garden, or better yet planting your first garden. I promise you’ll never regret it. One tip, potatoes by Good Friday.

I have personally made that deadline once, but the potatoes are usually still pretty good. Last year I hardly had the chance to plant anything because Brian (my son) has grown very fond of gardening.

So much so that he has doubled the garden in the last year. His mother did always remind him, “As long as you have cucumbers and tomatoes …” It’s always a sad day when the last veggies are picked for the year, but that’s why you plant a tree that can be enjoyed all year long.

Planting a tree doesn’t mean just digging a hole, throwing it in and never

A perfect world What a perfect world looks like by Kaiden Coomer, first-grader at Jefferson Elementary School in Princeton.

Facts about Earth Day

Dennis Taylor caring for it again. Like raising anything in life, a little thought should be put into it. What shape or size are you looking for?

Where is the tree going?

One important consideration in our urban forest is utility lines. Always, always, always call JULIE (811) before you dig. It could save you a lot of money in broken lines.

When planting that well thought out tree, if questions come up like how deep do I plant or should I loosen the roots, consult your local arborist or helpful websites like ISA-arbor. com.

As I consider what Earth Day means to me, I real-

ize there is a lot that could go into that statement.

We recognize Earth Day (and Arbor Day for that matter) on a large scale once a year. But when it comes down to it, Earth Day is really every day to me. Until we pass on from this Earth, we exist in it together and should do our part to make it better — the present and future.

Join me in making it better and plant your first (or hundred and first) plant on this special day.

Dennis Taylor of Princeton is an arborist. He works for Taylors Trees and Turfs in Princeton.

• Earth Day was first celebrated in 1970 and is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network.

• The annual event is celebrated on April 22 in more than 192 countries each year.

• In 1969 at a UNESCO Conference in San Francisco, peace activist John McConnell proposed a day to honor the Earth and the concept of peace, to first be celebrated on March 21, 1970, the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere. This day was later sanctioned in a proclamation written

SPRING VALLEY — A selfless team attitude was brought by the Bureau Valley Storm to the Rollie Morris Invitational as they were ready to score points anyway they could as long as it benefited the team Their willingness to take on extra responsibilities for the good of the team paid off for the Storm as they and the eventual champions, the Mendota Trojans, distanced themselves from the other eight teams.

Mendota took first place with 135 points with the Storm in second at 106.

“I thought the kids came out well and competed.

They came out and did what we asked of them, we had to double them up on some events that might have made it hard for them today,” Bureau Valley head coach Jeff Ohlson said. “We knew we needed to figure out a way to come up with just a few more points and some of our kids stepped up big for us as a team.”

Mendota junior Wyatt Martinson set the tone for the Trojans winning the 100-meter dash (11.17), 200-meter dash (22.58) as well as anchoring both of Mendota’s first place 4x100 meter relay (45.33) and 4x200 meter relay (1:35.29).

The Trojans barely edged out the host team Red Devils’ 4x100 as a late surge by sophomore Patrick Einhaus was held off by Martinson.

Also running for the Red Devils in the 4x100 was sophomore Chris Ham-

She was joined by her parents, Donald and Ronda Bornsheurer; and (back row) BV coach Tiffany Gonigam and Mike Bailey, head women’s basketball coach and athletic director at Carl Sandburg.

MENDOTA — Kevin Geldon had an ideal coaching situation awaiting him next season at Mendota High School, where he would be returning all five starters from a 3A regional girls championship. However, he had an even more ideal opportunity present itself for him and his growing family.

Geldon has resigned as

the Mendota girls basketball coach to accept a PE and health position at Rolling Meadows High School where he did his student teaching prior to coming to Mendota.

He will coach sophomore boys basketball and be a varsity baseball assistant.

“It was an opportunity my family and I could not pass up as it gets us back home and also to a situation where I am chasing and achieving some of my

Eastwood expects for himself and his team to work hard and improve upon their personal records throughout the season “I just need to keep working out, going on distance runs and doing different speed workouts,” Eastwood said, “I’m really happy with how we placed and how we ran.

Today was a good day for us, but we can get better.”

From Page 12 Dale Donner said. “Our kids understand that a second and fifth place finish or a third and a fourth is just like winning the race because it still totals up to 10 points and we scored a lot of our points that way today.”

Lindsey Hoffert won the long jump at 15-0 1/2, placed second in the 200 (27.54) and third in the 400 (1:05.69).

The Storm also claimed firsts in the 4x200 and 4x800 relays. Helena Arnadottir, Heather Williams, Riley Francis and Regan Weidner ran a 1:52.9 in the 4x200 and Haley DeVoss, Katelin Johnson, Marissa Mungia and Tianna Kennedy ran a top time of 10:48.98 in the 4x800.

BV’s Sydney Lebahn had a second-place throw of 114-11 in the discus.

Hall freshman Madi Quinn took two firstplace finishes for the host Red Devils. Her first win of the day came in the pole vault where she out-vaulted the field by a foot and a half with a vault of 9 feet.

“It was really good day.

It was a little windy but not too bad so I’m glad with how it went.” Quinn said. “I think I need to push myself more, I have been pushing myself but

Princeton’s Fran Bowman takes the baton from teammate Kendal Way in a relay Saturday at Hall.

I just need to push a little more; I know I can do better.”

Quinn later outpaced the field in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 17.45 for her second victory of the day.

The Hall freshman beamed as she finally had the opportunity this year to run on her home track.

“It was my first time running on our home track this year, so it was really awesome, and I am happy with what I did today,” Quinn said. “I

felt like we all did really good and I’m happy with how we ran and what we did as a team today.”

Princeton senior Zoe Mead had the top time of

2:21.62 to win the 800.

She also ran a season best 27.8 to take third in the 400. Teammates Colbi Schertz (shot, 36-3) and Sierra Storm (pole vault, 7-6) claimed second-place finishes.

Donner believes his girls team and the boys team can continue to be successful this season if they come to the track with the heart and passion to preserve and continue to improve upon each performance during the season.

“Whatever runner we had in this meet they know that every point matters. They understand their roles and that they might not be the fastest runner but they have the heart, and they go out there and find the heart to get the extra points for our team,” Donner said. “We need to keep moving, keep working and hopefully things will fall into place for us.”
