Man charged in pharmacy robbery

By Zita Henneberry zhenneberry@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Charges for the Nov. 21 armed robbery at the Princeton Pharmacy have been brought up against suspect Sheldon A. Hall of Princeton. Hall appeared before Judge Marc Bernabei in a bond hearing at 11 a.m. Tuesday, May 12.

Bureau County State’s Attorney Geno J. Caffarini alleges Hall committed the offense along with two other felonies.

Bernabei established probable cause for Hall’s arrest and detainment at the Tuesday hearing, where a $200,000 bail was set.

The charges against

the 24-year-old accuse Hall of knowingly entering the Princeton Pharmacy with a handgun and stealing 500 pills of Alprazolam (Xanax) by force, a Class X felony. During the robbery, Princeton pharmacist Lisa Stefani was held at gunpoint while the robber demanded she hand over the pharmacy’s full supply of the drug.

The robbery took place around 6:30 p.m. Nov. 21.

Hall is also accused of being in possession of a stolen firearm, a Class 2 felony. The firearm in question was stolen between Nov. 4, 2014, and Nov. 11, 2014, from the home of Hall’s

BV moves forward with facility options DeWaele adds another option to the table

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — Bureau Valley has cut its six original facility options down to three.

During a special meeting held Monday, May 11, the board decided to continue to move forward with Option 2, which is to build a Prekindergarten through 12th grade in Manlius; Option 5, which is to put prekindergarten through fifth grade in Buda and Walnut and sixth through 12th grade in Manlius; and Option 6, which is to build a new prekindergarten through fifth-grade school somewhere in south central portion of the district and keep prekindergarten through fifth-grade in Walnut with sixth through 12th grade in Manlius.

In order to cut down the options, the board first canvassed themselves to get a better idea of where each board member stood for each option.

The canvassing was led by BV Board President Rick Cernovich, who asked each board member to go through each option and say whether they would support the option or not support the option, while giving their reasoning behind their decisions.

During the canvass, board member Don DeWaele introduced what he called “Option 7,” which also received a few positive comments from the public at the end of the meeting.

DeWaele would like to see this future project done in phases, starting with top priority, which is to get students out of the towers at BV South. To do this, DeWaele proposed the idea of adding on a precast building to the newer portion of the Buda school, which includes the cafeteria, science room, band room, gymnasium, etc. The building would have to be built out on the current football field

The nuts and bolts of peanut allergies EpiPen education is crucial to survival

By Shannon Serpette sserpette@bcrnews.com

Editor’s note: This is the second story in a three-part series about peanut allergies, how children, parents and schools cope with this severe food allergy and the emotional toll it can take.

May 10-16 is Food Allergy Awareness Week.

It’s the moment children with peanut allergies train for and worry about. And to a panicking child, especially a child still scared of needles or one who is experiencing respiratory distress, the task could seem daunting — recognizing when an allergic reaction is severe

enough to warrant an EpiPen injection and summoning up the courage to firmly jab it into the outer thigh.

Then once the child feels the pain of the injection, he or she must continue to hold the needle in place for 10 seconds so all the potentially lifesaving medicine can enter the body. While waiting for an ambulance — a trip to the hospital is necessary for every anaphylactic reaction — the child must be prepared to do the whole thing over again in a few minutes if the symptoms don’t subside.

It’s a question that haunts parents of a child with a peanut allergy: Could their child administer his or her own EpiPen injection while having a reaction?

A CDAP for Lake Arispie?

County board would have to apply for grant

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

An ‘egg’-cellent educational opportunity BVS third-graders crack open a cross-curriculum experience BUDA — When spring arrives, everyone knows there will be new arrivals in Laurie Bitting’s thirdgrade classroom at Bureau Valley South.

For the last few weeks, Bitting’s students have been incubating duck and quail eggs and learning about embryology, the study of how living things develop.

During one science lesson, the third-graders cracked open chicken eggs and identified the parts inside including the membranes, yolk, air cell,

white or germ spot, chalaza or twisted strands, and the albumen. The students learned how each part is vital to the development of the growing embryo.

In another lesson, the third-graders learned how the shell of a chicken, duck, quail and other fowl egg is very porous. They proved this by placing an ordinary chicken egg into a jar of white vinegar. This caused carbon dioxide to be released from the pores of the egg creating hundreds of tiny air bubbles on the outside of the shell.

The egg was then left in the vinegar, and within a few days, the vinegar dissolved the shell revealing the membrane underneath.

Brody Stone, a fifth-grader at BVS, provided the duck eggs for Bitting’s class this year, and the quail eggs were purchased by Bitting from a company in Oklahoma.

The class ended up with six ducklings and more than 30 cheepers ... or baby quail. The ducklings will be taken back to live at Brody’s home, and Bitting will raise the quail until maturity when they will be released into a nearby area with lots of ground cover.

PRINCETON — The Lake Arispie Homeowners’ Association has asked the Bureau County Board to approve an intergovernmental agreement to help apply for a Community Development Assistance Program (CDAP) Grant.

On Tuesday, May 12, Nora Fesco, executive director of North Central Illinois Council of Governments, explained the homeowners’ association is hoping to get the grant to help pay for a new wastewater treatment plant.

The homeowners’ association has been saving money to fix its wastewater treatment plant that has been inoperable for years. Fesco said the county cannot even provide building permits for people who want to build in the area because of this issue, and there are available lots of which people have expressed interest.

The homeowners’ association has qualified for the grant, however, it is not able to apply for it

because they are not a local government. Therefore, they are asking for the Bureau County Board to apply on their behalf.

Fesco confirmed NCICG would write the application, and if the grant is funded, their office would administer the grant and take care of the entire process for the homeowners association.

Fesco said the CDAP is very competitive, but the people at Lake Arispie are in a serious situation.

“I always say the worse, the better for this program,” she said. “Public health and safety — if you’re going to elevate that with your project, you will rate well.”

Fesco said if the board approved the intergovernmental agreement, the county would have to sign as the applicant and grant agreement if it is awarded.

She confirmed this is not the first time a governmental board has applied on behalf of a homeowners’ association.

Board members asked whether or not the county would have any financial obligations if they agreed to apply, which Fesco confirmed they would

not.

“The homeowners association has been saving for this project for years and have already paid for the engineering,” she said.

The wastewater treatment plant project would total somewhere around $350,000 to $400,000, which the grant would cover a portion, and the rest would be paid for by the homeowners’ association.

The smaller system is designed for 60 homes.

Currently there are 19 homes on Lake Arispie and an apartment complex.

Fesco confirmed if the system was ever to break down, the county would not be responsible for fixing it and the county would never have responsibility in maintaining the system.

Right now the Bureau County State’s Attorney’s Office is still working out the details of the intergovernmental agreement and still wanting to sit down with the homeowners’ association’s lawyer before the board votes on the agreement.

The board most likely will make a decision at the next regular meeting on Tuesday, June 9.

New Wyanet trustees sworn in

By Becky Kramer @bcrnews.com

WYANET — The Wyanet Village Board swore in new board members at its meeting Tuesday, May 12.

Cory Peterson was sworn in during Tuesday’s regular village of Wyanet board meeting.

Peterson takes the place of John Swarczewski who chose not to run for re-election. Dave Bickett was sworn in to fill the vacant two-year term seat that he has been filling for the past four

months.

Village trustees Jim Etheridge and Jeramie Spears were also sworn in after being re-elected in the April election.

New committee assignments were given. Trustees Etheridge and Spears will be represent the Law and Order Committee as well as the Building and Equipment Committee.

Trustees Joe Law and Marilyn Johnson are on the Cemetery and Park Committee and the Water, Sewer and Sanitation Committee.

Bickett and Peterson are heading the Streets

and Sidewalk Committee as well as the Finance and Insurance Committee.

The village is beginning its annual preparations for summer and also for the Wyanet Festival which is held the second weekend in July. The parks are being spruced up; planters have been installed on Main Street; and the park building is ready for summer rentals.

The Wyanet Community Club requested a liquor license for the festival which was unanimously agreed upon by

the board. The board also voted to allow the local bars to stay open an extra hour during the festival again this year.

Water meter installation is almost complete. There are still nine meters to install in occupied homes, 19 in unoccupied homes and 9 in businesses.

The board would like to remind residents of a couple important ordinances that affect the sewer system in the village.

Sump pumps can not be connected to the sanitary sewer lines. When this water fills the lines,

it causes sewage backup because the sewer lines are not made to handle that much water. Sump pumps can be connected to the storm sewer.

In other business: • Grass clippings are not to be blown into the street. Clippings will clog the storm sewers causing the sewer to backup into homes.

• The annual general garbage clean up has been changed from the fall. The board is going to request cleanup be done on June 16, but this is dependent on approval by the transfer station.

No hazardous waste or electronics will be picked up.

• The board approved paying for the materials that will be needed to finish the plumbing at the new concession stand.

• The new truck the village ordered will be delivered before Memorial Day. • Margaret Wooden requested the potholes be filled behind her house in the alley.

The next meeting of the Wyanet Village Board is at 7 p.m. June 2. This is a week earlier than was previously scheduled.

This family member telephoned police indicating she suspected Hall.

In the third charge brought against Hall, he is accused of a residential burglary along with two other suspects. Around 2 p.m. April 27, three individuals entered the home of an Arlington resident, allegedly to steal guns, jewelry and an apple iPod. Receipts and a photo identification in the investigation by Lt. Tim Trevier of the Bureau County Sheriff’s Department revealed Hall to have pawned the iPod taken from the Arlington home at a nearby business.

LaMoille seeks school board member LAMOILLE — The LaMoille CUSD 303 has announced a vacancy on the board of education following the April 7 election.

The board of education is

accepting letters of interest as to why the individual would like to be on the board. The letters should be directed to Ricardo Espinoza, superintendent.

Applicants must meet residential requirements. The appointed candidate will fill the position until the next school board election in 2017.

TISKILWA — The Tiskilwa Village Board decided against joining a regional economic development group at its meeting Tuesday, May 12.

The village would have paid $1.30 per resident or $1.078 a year to belong to the group being formed with mainly governmental bodies in LaSalle, Bureau and Putnam counties and some members from the private sector to market the area to bring in more jobs.

Tiskilwa Board President Randy Philhower said the village already belongs to North Central Illinois Council of Governments, which helps them obtain grants for village improvements, and the Bureau County Board is paying to belong to this economic group to represent county residents not living in cities or unincorporated areas.

Steve McKenney, board trustee, said he isn’t sure what this economic program would do for Tiskil-

wa, and the $1,078 could be spent on village roads or bridges instead of this program.

Dan Acker, board trustee, said the reality is that this program wouldn’t lobby for economic development on behalf of Tiskilwa as much as other areas in the three counties.

In other business, the meeting started with a moment of silence for David Wright, board trustee, who recently died; Wendy Sims was appointed to fill another vacancy on the village board for the next two years.

Trustees voted to spend up to $7,500 to patch village streets this summer with Ace in the Hole of Washburn; approved closing a portion of Sycamore Street on June 13 during Strawberry Festival/Main Street Festival; approved issuing a liquor license to TCA for Pow Wow Days in August; approved townwide cleanup day to be June 19; and to buy new flags to replace damaged ones in the village to be erected before Memorial Day.

Trustees voted to renew a contract with TEST Inc. to conduct EPA water test samples for the village and heard that a free text alert program has been started in town to alert village residents in case of emergencies such as boil water orders since some village residents have not been informed of these actions in the past because a paper notice was only posted at the post office or the news was given to WZOE. Residents can text the code EZBMZ37000 to 313131 to sign up for this service to give out alerts and village information. Acker will be in charge of texting the alerts with the assistance of McKenney.

Philhower reported the Main Street railroad crossing has been completed; the Consumer Confidence Report was published in the Bureau Valley Chief as required; and Cornbelt Energy will bury a primary electric line on right-of-way for Bound Street and the Tiskilwa Bottom Road.

Allergies From Page 1 trained to use an EpiPen for his peanut allergy, but a routine training session is very different than a real, often scary situation.

And waiting to see if the reaction subsides without an injection is tempting because it could spare a child a trip to the hospital.

The stakes for that one decision are high: Not receiving an EpiPen injection within minutes of anaphylaxis is a risk factor for death caused by food allergies, according to the nonprofit organization Food Allergy Research and Education.

When Jonathan’s peanut allergy was discovered between the ages of 1 and 2, his family quickly saw how severe a food allergy could be.

They had just barely touched peanut butter to his lips when he had a reaction.

“He had swelling in one to two minutes,” Jaime said. “His throat started swelling and closing off.”

Since then, he’s had some close calls, like the time he went to an ice cream shop and wound up with hives.

Overall, Jonathan has done a good job of avoiding peanuts — he hasn’t had to use his EpiPen since he has been in school, but exposures sometimes happen through no fault of his own.

Once he was near a bag of peanuts held in a burlap sack and even that caused a reaction.

“He didn’t even touch them, and he broke out,” Jaime said.

Even though he hasn’t needed his EpiPen in years, Jonathan doesn’t feel comfortable without it nearby.

“I’ve only forgotten it like once this whole year,” Jonathan said. “It’s a big responsibility remembering it, but I feel safer wearing it.”

As he’s gotten older, Jonathan has had an easier time handling his allergy and its consequences.

“Sometimes it worries me, but I can usually deal with it,” Jonathan said.

While Jonathan might be able to give himself an injection if he ever finds himself in that situation, Heather Heaton’s two boys who have peanut allergies likely wouldn’t be ready for that responsibility. Instead, she must depend on others

Phase 2 of DeWaele’s idea would be to focus on the junior high. DeWaele pointed out waiting to do Phase 2 would give the board enough time to further discuss whether they would attach the junior high to the high school or not, and work out the number of classrooms needed and how much to spend on the construction, etc.

From there, DeWaele said the board could then

Well-meaning relatives and dates beware Kisses can trigger severe reactions Mary Blackert of Walnut has a 5-year-old daughter, Zoie, who has a peanut allergy.

Mary wants others to be aware of the aptly named “kiss of death.” When a peanut allergic child is kissed by a well-meaning adult, such as a grandparent or an aunt or uncle who has consumed a peanut product beforehand, it can trigger a severe reaction.

“Their first reaction is to kiss her. But you could end up in the emergency room for hours, and something tragic can happen,” Mary said.

The same rule applies to teenagers who have begun dating. If a date has eaten a peanut product before a goodnight kiss, the results can be disastrous — a fact that weighs heavily on the minds of parents, like Mary Joiner of Malden, who have a peanut-allergic child.

“I’ve been worried about that since she was 2,” Joiner said about her daughter. to watch out for them when she isn’t there.

Six-year-old Jack and his 4-year-old brother, Gabe, carry a Thomas the Train pack containing their EpiPens everywhere they go.

Heather, a Princeton resident, has learned to become extremely vigilant when reading food labels to better protect them.

After hives erupted for one of her boys from ingesting a simple turkey sandwich, she checked the labels and saw the bread was made in a factory that contained peanuts.

Karen Kloepping, a Princeton resident who also serves as Food Allergy Awareness coordinator for the Princeton Elementary School District, said parents of children with food allergies have a steep learning curve when their children are diagnosed.

In addition to learning the ins and outs about food allergies, there are the emotional aspects to consider. Kloepping has a 12-year-old son with a severe peanut allergy, and while she is comfortable discussing it, she realizes not everyone is.

“Every person has their own comfort level,” she said. “Not every kid is open about it. Not every parent is open about it.”

Even though she is comfortable talking about peanut allergies, she hesitates to use scary language when discussing it with her child.

“I don’t like to say the death word. You don’t want to give them anxiety,” Kloepping said.

Kloepping, so far, hasn’t

had to use the EpiPen on her child. But there have been close calls: “I had it cocked and ready once,” she said. She was prepared to use it, but the reaction calmed down on its own.

Since neither she nor her son have ever had to use the EpiPen in a real situation, they practice on an orange, so they will be better prepared in the event of an emergency. Practicing helps them gauge how firmly they have to jab the EpiPen and gives them more confidence in case an emergency strikes.

“We practice using expired ones (EpiPens),” she said.

EpiPens are generally good for just over a year after they are prescribed.

Parents often buy several EpiPen sets — they come with two EpiPens in a pack because injector failures have been known to happen, and sometimes a person will need a second injection during an anaphylactic reaction, Kloepping said. Parents must keep one set at school for their child, and they must have one set with their child at all times when away from school. Many parents also buy a third set to keep with the child’s babysitter or in the mother’s purse.

Some parents split the two-pack, keeping one at home and one with a babysitter, hoping to save money, but that is a dangerous practice, according to Kloepping.

“They come in packs of two for a reason,” she said.

As children age, old con-

see where their budget stands and what other projects could be done in the future.

DeWaele said he’s reluctant to jump into something big, rather than go at it in phases.

“We can stop and take our time,” he said. “That’s Option 7… Everyone wants the palace, but it’s what we can afford.”

DeWaele expressed his concern with the debt limit, and how if the district reached its limit, they would not be able to afford other important items like textbooks, technology and sports uniforms.

“I want to ensure the

district is making the right decisions as they move along,” he said.

Cernovich commented he didn’t like the board using new numbers and information off the facilities study, when the board had hired Farnsworth Group of Peoria for $25,000 to do the work.

After a lengthy discussion, the board ultimately voted down the options to three. Board member Kent Siltman and DeWaele voted no for the three options. Siltman said he strongly opposed any option that would include connecting the junior high onto the high school.

Autumn Joiner of Malden shows how to give an EpiPen injection using the trainer pen that is included in the EpiPen twin-pack.

Asthma and food allergies: A tricky combination Children who suffer from both asthma and peanut allergies are at higher risk of having a serious reaction if exposed to peanuts.

Sometimes initial anaphylactic reactions are mistaken as asthma attacks.

That is something parents should realize because an inhaler is not a sufficient treatment for a reaction caused by a food allergy, said Karen Kloepping of Princeton, who serves as Food Allergy Awareness coordinator for the Princeton Elementary School District and also has a child with a peanut allergy.

“Don’t let them (the kids) choose the inhaler over the EpiPen,” she said. cerns can fade and new ones crop up. “There’s different challenges,” Kloepping said.

While children become better at reading labels to find potential allergens as they get older, other concerns, such as kissing and social embarrassment, cause a whole new set of worries.

Carrying an EpiPen isn’t

generally a big deal for younger children, but for teenage boys who don’t want to carry a backpack or wear an EpiPen pack around their waist — the bulky traditional EpiPens don’t fit well in jean pockets – it can be a source of embarrassment.

Not wanting to seem different or difficult can also put teenagers at risk:

While at a friend’s house they might be uncomfortable asking if a snack given to them by their friend or a friend’s parent is safe to eat.

Some children are more comfortable asserting themselves than others are.

“It’s different for each kid,” Kloepping said.

Board vice president Don King made it clear that just because the board had selected the three options, it didn’t mean they would go at the project exactly stated in the facilities study.

“There’s going to be more things we’ll have to talk about. We still need to tweak the final plans on how to do it,” he said.

It was pointed out with the options still standing, the board could still decide to use DeWaele’s phased approach. Board members asked him to further develop his plans and cost estimates.

DeWaele said he would

like to know what the demolition costs, interest payments and tax rate would be for each option by the next meeting.

The board on Monday also approved to canvass the public for its input on the three options, which Cernovich and Siltman voted against.

Cernovich said canvassing the public would cause arguments on what are the questions and how they were asked. He also said it would provide information he wouldn’t know what to do with or how to interrupt.

King, however was strongly in favor of can-

vassing the public.

“My decision will be based on going into the community and seeing what the community wants,” he said. “I believe the process of that, always have … I want taxpayers and parents of Bureau Valley to give us ideas. That will make the decision a lot easier for me.”

After the vote, the board asked Superintendent Steve Endress to assemble a committee to perform this task and report to the board at the next regular meeting on Tuesday, May 26.

Illinois State Police apprehend armed carjacking suspect CHICAGO — Illinois State Police (ISP) credited the good police work performed by multiple Illinois State Police districts and the Chicago Police Department.

On May 8, at about 10:05 p.m., ISP District 17 in LaSalle responded to a crash on Interstate 80 eastbound at Milepost 71 in Bureau County.

Moments prior to ISP arriving on scene, a Good Samaritan stopped to render aid to the driver of the crashed vehicle, Rashad Atwater, 26, of Chicago.

Atwater asked the Good Samaritan to assist his passenger. The Good Samaritan proceeded to the passenger side of the crashed vehicle and Atwater assaulted him and carjacked his 2012 black Ford pickup.

Through the preliminary crash investigation, troopers confirmed Atwater had been traveling in and crashed a vehicle stolen out of Iowa earlier in the evening.

An ISPERN broadcast was initiated with the Good Samaritan’s vehicle information. At about 11:45 p.m., a Chicago trooper observed the stolen pickup traveling on Interstate 55 northbound at Harlem Avenue.

Atwater was driving on the rim of the front driver side, which caused the vehicle to crash into the wall on Interstate 55 northbound at Loomis. Atwater exited the vehicle with two bags in his hand and attempted to flee on foot.

Atwater was apprehended by ISP and Chicago police officers. A stolen 9mm handgun was recovered from one of the bags Atwater had in his possession, which was taken from a Chicago police officer.

Atwater was taken to Mercy Hospital where he was treated and released. He was transported and processed at Chicago Police Department 1st District.

Atwater was charged with unlawful use of a weapon by felon, armed habitual criminal, possession of stolen vehicle, driving on a suspended license and wanted on warrant.

Atwater is currently being held without bond at the Cook County Jail awaiting his court proceedings.

Republican Sam R Fisher Publisher

Serving Bureau County Since 1847 Terri Simon Editor

First Person Blake Cromwell City: LaMoille.

In the middle ...

Where did you grow up: LaMoille.

Being raised the daughter of the town’s public defender was bound to have its consequences. I may have been the only kindergartener in the history of St. Louis School to have been obsessed with the concept of psychopaths and how the criminal behavior of crazy individuals was, in truth, not their fault.

As a child, the idea that people were good barring uncontrollable circumstances grabbed a hold of me in a way nothing else could. I loved this philosophy which allowed me to have sympathy for a murderer rather than hatred. In all honesty, it simplified things. It was much easier to understand a murderer had gone crazy due to voices he or she was hearing in his or her own head than it was to grasp the fact that person would kill by choice.

In college, I studied the psychology and chemical structuring of the brain. My senior thesis paper focused on the absence of free will in all but perception and attitude. I studied the construct of mentality which revealed every action and decision is made 30 seconds prior to the actual decision to act is mentally realized.

I questioned the concept of free will entirely as Sam Harris does in his book, “Free Will.”

In the end, however, I argued that people can control their own lives, if only through the gradual development and manipulation of their own perception and attitude toward their environment. The simplicity of this ideological structuring allows people to maintain control over their worlds, while still harboring an understanding of predetermined conditions.

It is not the criminal’s fault he or she was exposed to the harsh life situations COMMENTARY which led them to their miscreant behavior. Whether or not these concepts ring true has become irrelevant to me.

The compassion it grants me toward those who may need compassion most is worth any misconception I may have.

Through this ideological view I can simultaneously hold others accountable while understanding their circumstances to a degree. I have not lived their lives. I have not experienced their hardships. So how could I understand their mistakes?

I understand the tragic loss of one’s own life when he or she may be facing a life-long sentence for some dumb mistake. I can empathize with the individual who was never taught how to walk the right path and suffers the consequence for it. To me, many of the men and women bound in the chains of our system are not all that different from myself.

With the destruction and near civil war many are facing in Baltimore and similar areas, I try to remember my philosophy. However, my compassion toward those given a rough route in life does not extend to the knowing disregard of fellow human beings. I feel torn between those individuals who feel they are rioting to fight for their freedom; and the police officers’ who feel a need to protect and stand up for their rights as deputies of the law.

I understand that when an officer walks into an unknown and possibly hostile situation there must be an instinctual need for self preservation. I understand that every suspect being placed in custody may ask for medical attention in an attempt to escape their cuffs for the time being. However, is it the officer’s right to deny these requests?

In the midst of what is publicized as a two-sided, black and white issue, there are underlying details which, to me, scream for attention.

The tragedy, to me, in the midst of all the circumstantial confusion surrounding the death of Freddie Gray was the denial of medical assistance to a person who desperately needed help. If it’s so easily accepted, then how often are these mistakes made?

I am torn between the two sides of the issue because I feel for the men and women fighting the hardships of their day-to-day lives.

I do not side with either, but instead I’m partial to the opinion of progress toward a more productive future.

Needless destruction in the claimed pursuit of a cause, to me, is counterproductive and cruel. The insensitive denial of medical attention by officers of the law, to me, was a neglect of duty.

Every man and woman fighting on either side of the Freddie Gray cause is a complete individual with a history and a life. To me, every individual fighting for their cause is not all that different from myself.

If you could change one thing about your town, what would it be: I wish we had a community swimming pool.

A special Tuesday I woke up on an April Tuesday morning. At the first eye-opening of that morning, it seemed to be like any other Tuesday and any other April morning. I was soon to find out that was not necessarily the case.

Being, as you all know, retired, I don’t always get out of bed at first light. So, around 8 a.m., I wandered out into the main part of my house.

My husband was watching ESPN, and that is when this Tuesday morning became different than the others.

The sportscaster was discussing the Chicago Cubs, yes the Chicago Cubs, were in first place in their division at the very early stage of the professional baseball season. I know, crazy, right?

I am not a huge baseball fan, but when I am asked who my favorite team is, my quick response is “The Chicago Cubs.” I didn’t have much chance, growing up, to be anything but a Chicago Cub fan.

My grandfather, my mom’s dad, Clarence, was an avid baseball fan.

He died when I was in high school, but when I was younger than that, my mom, my sister and I would leave the farm and come to Princeton to go to the stores, especially the grocery store, and we would stop to pick up my Grandma Ollie (Clarence’s wife).

Those Saturdays were like a ritual.

First we cleaned the house; then we ate lunch; and then we left to go to “town.” Arriving about 1 p.m., my grandpa would be ensconced in his chair. Now Clarence enjoyed many

Nita Wyatt COMMENTARY

things, but some of his favorites were his dog, Nipper, his Woody station wagon, his fishing pole and his Saturday afternoon baseball.

The picture of him is still clear in my mind. His recliner in his favorite position; his dog on his lap; the TV turned to the “game of the week;” and his radio also tuned into the Cubs broadcast right next to him.

Now, we must remember this was in the 1950s and early 1960s, and television was black and white; and there were only two or three channels. Those channels were, at best, kind of grainy and fuzzy. No highdef in Clarence’s world.

It seemed that the “game of the week” was always the Chicago White Sox and the New York Yankees. I know that is really not the case, but in my memory it is that way. The radio broadcast was always the Chicago Cubs game, no matter who they were playing. They were his favorite.

So Grandpa Clarence taught me to be a Cub fan, and he most definitely taught my mom to be a Cub fan. He taught my mom very well.

My mom loved the Cubs; she loved them so much. She had a tiny television in her kitchen that she would sit close to, on a kitchen chair, and cheer and also cry for her

Cubs. My dad was not much of a baseball fan of any team. One of the best things I ever did for my mom was to take her on a bus trip to the Chicago Cub game. My dad went along for the ride, but my mom was just in heaven. I remember her saying that it was one of the best days of her life. Glad I got to be the one to share that with her.

My mom did her job in passing along the love of the Cubs. My grandpa passed it to me and my mom, as grandma, passed along the love of the game to my daughter.

My daughter became the most avid of Cub fans as she grew up.

During her visits to Grandma’s house, the little TV in the kitchen was shared between the two of them. Certainly a special memory for my daughter as the two of them huddled close to watch their team.

A few years ago I found a VCR tape of the Cubs game of 08/08/1988.

You know that date, right, the first night game at Wrigley Field. That tape was a prized possession of my daughter’s childhood.

So, when this column is published, whether the Cubs are in first place or not, we shall see; and where they will be when the season ends, we shall see. But on that Tuesday in April 2015, the Cubs were in first place. My Grandpa Clarence and my mom were smiling up in heaven, and my daughter and all of the other loyal Cubs fans were smiling here on earth.

TO Letter THE Editor

And the band played on To the Editor, In one edition of your newspaper nearly two years ago, you carried a front-page picture from a rehearsal of the Princeton Community Band.

Below it listed where and when rehearsals were held, as well as who it was open to.

Although I’m not from Princeton, or even Bureau County, a few days later I made the 50-mile trip to attend the next rehearsal, not knowing what to expect. What I found was enjoyable and challenging, yet not beyond my limits.

Now I’ve been with the band the past two seasons and am looking forward to this season. Although I may have less musical ability than most in the band, no one could enjoy it more

than I do — maybe just as much, but not more. And it was a great thrill to be part of the band when we presented the world premier of “The Red Covered Bridge” in 2013.

If any of your readers have considered getting involved with the band but have not done so, let me encourage them to simply attend a rehearsal and give it a try for themselves.

The Princeton Community Band is a great asset to the community, for which residents should be grateful. There’s a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes to make the rehearsals and concerts happen — things even most of us in the band don’t see. I’m just glad to be a part of the band, doing what I can.

Now, if we could just figure out a way to stretch out Soldiers and Sailors Park to give everyone more room

for the concerts ...

Had the Republican not carried that picture on the front page, I would not have known about the band or the concerts, and would have missed out on some very enjoyable times; not just for myself, but also for a friend of mine in a wheelchair I bring to the concerts from her nursing home in Peru. She greatly enjoys and appreciates the concerts, too.

Thank you for carrying that picture on your front page in 2013; that set a chain of events in motion in my life that hasn’t stopped yet.

See you at the concerts, Lord willing.

Memorial Day re-dedication ceremony at Mount Bloom Cemetery for 150th anniversary TISKILWA — At 11 a.m. Monday, May 25, the Friends of Mount Bloom will host a special community event near the gazebo at the crest of the southeast entrance of Mount Bloom Cemetery in Tiskilwa.

Everyone is invited to come up the hill to commemorate the anniversary of the establishment of Mount Bloom in 1865. The timing couldn’t be better, since this year also marks the 100th anniversary of the completion of the concrete stairway, designed and installed by G.W. Quick & Sons of Tiskilwa, replacing earlier wooden steps.

The Mount Bloom program will follow the American Legion’s traditional Memorial Day commemoration, which begins at 10 a.m. in the East Park. Attendees may drive and park on any of the cemetery roads or FOMB is working on providing wagon rides for those who’d rather leave their cars at the East Park. Of course, the newly restored steps are also available for those wanting to park in the Lynn Hultine field at bottom of the hill and make the symbolic trek up the steps on foot.

The celebration has been several years in the making. After a wind

New Bedford Memorial Day services storm destroyed the cemetery’s “Waiting Room” in 2007, local residents formed a committee to replace the 1897 building with another structure and also to restore several steps and handrails on the stairway. Through the generosity of “Tiskilwa people” from throughout the United States, as well as local volunteers, FOMB completed the stairway restoration, erected a gazebo in the location of the destroyed building and, at the bottom

of the steps, installed an archway that is a facsimile of the metal arch early 20th century.

The 20-minute program will include the presentation of three memorial plaques: one above the gazebo entranceway, one inside the gazebo, and one that will later be installed at the bottom of the steps. Refreshments will be hosted by the American Legion Auxiliary, Tiskilwa Historical Society and Friends of Mount Bloom.

The camp will be held weekdays from June 15-26. Camp director Lisa Gadomski will engage campers in a series of fun-filled activities including song, dance, make-up, costuming and visits to and with festival sets, cast and crew. The culmination of their camp experience will be their on-stage appearance — as part of the chorus ensemble — in several performances of the Festival 56 production of Gypsy.

The camp fee is $100 per child.

Alleman Soccer Regional: Mendota 3, Princeton 2

MHS twins are double trouble

By Jeff Schlesinger sports@bcrnews.com

MOLINE — Mendota’s Bromenschenkel twins teamed up to score three goals as the Lady Trojans defeated Princeton by a score of 3-2 in regional play on Tuesday, May 12.

The flow of the game was eerily similar to the regular season matchup, which also ended in a one-goal victory for Mendota. The Lady Trojans jumped to an early lead. Princeton battled back to tie it, but then gave up an excuse-me goal late to lose it.

Ally Bromenschenkel started things off in just the fifth minute of the game when she got behind the defense and beat substitute goalie Taylor Clark to give the second seed Trojans a 1-0 edge.

Clark was a last-minute replacement in goal as regular keeper Mary Sims has been out with concussion issues and backup goal tender Devin Scott was sick for practice on Monday and ineligible to play.

“Let’s give a shout-out to Taylor Clark,” senior captain Kim Schlesinger said. “She did really, really well. She was told yesterday that she’d have to be playing in the goal. She performed. She stepped up.”

The Tigresses then took over and controlled the ball and the pace of the game for the remainder of the half. But they were not able to convert a goal even

Errors plague Tigers against Rockridge

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Big innings and errors have plagued the Princeton Tigers this season and that was the case once more as they fell 8-3 to Rockridge Tuesday, May 12.

It was a difficult task keeping Rockridge off of the board as PHS pitchers allowed the lead-off batter to reach base in five of seven innings. Three of those lead-off batters reached by way of the baseon-balls as PHS hurlers issued eight free passes, walking six total and hitting two batsmen.

Giving the opposing team seven unearned runs also creates a nearly

insurmountable task that most ball clubs would have difficulty overcoming.

“I think they had one earned run all night and that hurts when you give up eight and only one of them are earned,” PHS coach Tim Taylor said.

After walking the leadoff hitter, senior starting pitcher Zach Friel settled in and got Rockridge to put balls in play for his defense, but the Tigers fielders couldn’t answer the call. They had multiple communication miscues and coupled that with three errors in the frame to let the Rockets grab an early 4-0 lead.

Princeton pitcher Isaac Salazar covers home plate on a wild pitch Tuesday at Prather Field as Rockridge scores a run in its 8-3 victory.

PERU — The Hall Lady Devils waited five days and 25 minutes to land one conference win. It took them only 90 minutes to get another Tuesday, May 12, at St. Bede Academy.

The Lady Devils used a wild pitch to sneak past Princeton 6-5 in the resumption of the May 14 suspended game. After a short break, the Lady Devils topped the host Lady Bruins 4-2 in the regularly scheduled game at the academy diamond.

The sweep improved Hall to 9-3, keeping the Lady Devils in contention for the Three Rivers East Conference championship with Amboy (9-2) and Newman (8-3), who were to face one another in a make-up game Wednesday.

It was a much-needed day for the Lady Devils, having laid an egg at Newman Monday with a 10-1 loss.

“We kind of got put in a tough situation having to go to Newman and we weren’t ready to play.

Got off the bus and booted the ball around and kind of gave one away,” Hall coach Brian Holman said, noting wet fields at Hall forced a late move to Newman Monday. “We

• Hall 6, Princeton 5: First up was Princeton.

The Lady Devils put one runner on in the bottom of the seventh on a sharp single by Hunter Galassi when play resumed, but PHS pitcher Madison Menzel escaped further trouble.

PHS threatened in the eighth when Jaimie Ciesielski reached on an error and made it to third.

Devin Truedson ripped a liner back to Hall pitcher Adrianna Pikula, who got a glove on it, knocked it down and got the out at first.

Groleau keeps on swinging no matter what’s thrown his way Some batters would have struck out with two strikes. Not Brad Groleau.

The former St. Bede Bruin standout and two-time BCR Player of the Year has twice overcome a torn ACL and reconstruction on the same knee. He made it back to the diamond this spring for Division II McKendree University to receive Great Lakes Valley Conference second team all-conference honors.

Groleau’s first injury came during his sophomore football season in August of 2010 playing at Kewanee.

He then tore the ACL in the same knee playing summer back in June

Kevin Hieronymus HIERONYMUS’ HYPOTHESIS

2013, just after graduating from the academy.

It was very tough coming back from the second ACL physically, he said, as one can expect, but even more so mentally.

“The mental part of it was the

hardest, and I didn’t feel back to my normal self until a year after surgery,” said Groleau, who took a medical redshirt his first year at McKendree, located in Lebanon, Ill. Through it all his thoughts never wavered about making it back and he never had thoughts of quitting.

His strong faith and determination got him back to the field.

“I know God gave me the abilities to be able to compete at this level.

I worked very hard rehabbing and practicing baseball with my dad to get back to the way I know I can compete,” Groleau said, noting the

many hours spent at Washington Park in Peru honing his game with his dad, Ron. He had another setback in spring when he pulled a hamstring on the same leg as his injured knee and played sparingly to start the season.

Groleau had a storybook moment when he got his first start in the 13th game of the season, hitting a game-winning home run in the ninth inning at Truman St. University. He never stopped raking, as they say in baseball.

Baseball: St. Bede 11, Kewanee 0

Bruins finish off TRE title share

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

KEWANEE — Confidence is a pivotal thing for a club to have going into regional time.

With the season winding down, the St. Bede Academy Bruins have needed momentum going into the final week and got a little confidence boost in the form of a share of the Three Rivers Athletic Conference East championship with an 11-0 drubbing of the Kewanee Boilermakers Monday, May 11, in Kewanee.

The win puts SBA (17-6, 10-2) in a tie for the TRAC-East title with their rival from down the road, Hall (206, 10-2). SBA suffered a 4-2 loss to Hall Saturday, May 9, to split their season series. Fans will be treated to a tie-breaker as the two teams have drawn each other for regional play and are set to square off at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 20, during 2A regional play at Ottawa Marquette.

“We’ve just got to get back into the swing of attacking the baseball, playing good defense, throwing strikes and just playing good baseball,” SBA coach Bill Booker said. “We had a good stretch early in the season and started to stumble late and now it’s all about getting our confidence back and getting back to where we need to be for regional time.”

Already up with a 1-0 lead going into the top of the second inning, SBA jumped all over the Boilermakers with six runs on five hits including two hits (single, double) from senior center fielder Matt Szczepaniak.

Kewanee never really got any-

St. Bede’s Nathan Bartley lays down a sacrifice bunt Monday at Kewanee. thing going as SBA junior starting pitcher Jarrett Olson only allowed one run on two weak hits and the Boilers never looked comfortable at the plate.

The only troublesome area for Olson on the mound was locating pitches after getting behind in the count as he walked four, including two in the fourth when Kewanee finally got on the board.

“The two hits were the result of getting behind in the count. We need to get ahead in the count, and we also need to locate and vary the off speed pitches a little bit and get them closer to the plate so we give ourselves a chance to get a call or make the batter swing,” Booker said.

Szczepaniak went 2-4 with a double and two runs scored, stole a base, and scored two runs. Junior Gabe Braboy also went 2-4 and had two singles and a run scored.

Olson got the win, going the dis-

“We wanted to put up some numbers and hit the ball a little bit. We got Kewanee on the right day, and having Jarrett on the mound was a big boost today and he pitched really well. He had a little trouble locating his pitches, but overall he did a nice job,” Booker said.

Soccer From Page 13 “He kept his wits about him and showed his maturity throughout his time on the mound and threw well for the most part. That’s a big thing for him as a senior to come out and show that ability to be a leader. He gave up some walks and had some errors behind him but kept plugging away and kept his composure,” Taylor said.

Juniors Skye Behrends and Reilly Foes led off the bottom of the second with back-to-back singles and both scored to cut the Rockridge lead 4-2.

PHS tacked on another run in the third as a single from senior second baseman Levi Bates scored junior shortstop Jake Reinhardt from third to cut the Rocket lead to one.

Another lead-off walk

was taken advantage of in the sixth inning as senior outfielder Jake Foy scored on a single to left field by junior first baseman Dakota McManus.

McManus and sophomore Cole Whisman each scored on two pass balls later in the inning to end the scoring at 8-3.

“Their pitcher (Isaiah Kistler) kept us off balance mixing in his curveball and changing speeds, but we had six hits and those hits just didn’t turn into runs as we expected,” Taylor said.

Kistler went the distance for the win, striking out five while giving up three earned runs.

Behrends led the way for the Tigers offense going 2-for-3 with a triple and a run scored while Bates went 2-for-3 with two singles.

• The Tigers lost at Stillman Valley Monday 16-6.

Softball From Page 13 Ellie Herrmann singled with two outs in the home half, moved up on a passed ball, and then two wild pitches to race home with the winning run.

Hunter Galassi and Herrmann finished with two hits, and Brooke Keegan had two RBIs in the contest dating back to last week.

PHS forced a 5-5 tie with a key two-run double by Alisa Holmback in the top of the seventh back on May 7 at Hall shortly before the heavy rains hit between innings.

• Hall 4, St. Bede 2: After two scoreless innings, the Lady Devils broke through with three runs in the third inning. Galassi walked, Keegan dropped down a bunt hit and Rena Barroso reached on an error before Luciano Mautino stroked a two-run single to left.

Barroso beat a throw home from short on a fielder’s choice to short to make it 3-0.

Hall tacked on its last run on Barroso’s RBI hit in the fourth.

Holman said it’s been a struggle offensively of late for Hall.

“We haven’t had very much practice and got a lot of girls pressing.

And when you press you see a lot of pop ups or grounder balls to the pitcher because they’re getting out in front. They don’t trust themselves,” he said.

On the other hand, Holman said, “the way Adrianna’s (Pikula) throwing, as long as she’s throwing strikes, we’ll be competitive with anybody.”

The Lady Bruin offense remained silent until the sixth. They loaded the bases but Hall pitcher Adrianna Pikula escaped further trouble by popping up Julia Pohar.

With a little more life at the

plate, the Lady Bruins finally broke through in the seventh. Thea Mauck reached on a bunt and Emily Draper on a slap. Freshman Brooke Tonozzi ripped a RBI single to center to score Mauck. Gabbie Morrow followed with a sac fly to score Draper from third, but Mautino, the Hall catcher, fired to Barroso, the third baseman, for a game-ending 8-2-5 double play.

“You can’t wait til the sixth inning to get your bats going. That’s what hurt us. We started that sixth inning with one hit. That’s just not going to do it,” SBA coach Mike Urbanski said. “We got a little excitement at

the end, but we got to be a little bit smarter on the base paths.”

Pikula earned her second victory of the day in the circle to improve to 14-4. She scattered six hits, striking out five.

• Notes: Hall’s Keegan put on a hitting clinic for her dad, Tom, the Hall baseball coach, who had an off day, with a 3-3 game at the plate.

He doesn’t get to see her play much with his busy schedule. The Hall junior is out for softball for the first time in high school after two years in track.

Regional From Page 13 though they had repeated attacks on the net.

The other Bromenschenkel, Abby, added her name to the scorebook just 14 seconds into the second half when the ball found her in front of the goal after the kick off and she gave Mendota a twogoal lead.

“It’s tough when you don’t feel like you put your best foot forward,” said PHS coach Ed Young, who had an inspired pep talk at halftime. “That was a reoccurring theme this year. We lost against teams that we should have beat and then show up and play a nice game against a good team. Those bugs are supposed to be worked out by the end of the year.”

Finally, at the very end of the 52nd minute, the Tigresses broke through when sophomore outside midfielder Jenna Grimmer kicked one from 25 yards out that bounced off the goalie’s hands and into the goal.

It was at that point Young made a rather unorthodox move, removing most of his experienced seniors for nearly 20 minutes of play. Nevertheless, the Tigresses held their own. And in the 71st minute, with the squad at full strength again, Grimmer lofted one in front of the goal that went off junior Eliza Young’s body and evened the score at 2.

“Jenna played very inspired,” Young said. “She did up at Hinkley-Big Rock and she did tonight. She’s fast. She’s strong.

She’s got good vision. She’s got good passes.”

It looked like the superior passing and ball control of the Tigresses was finally going to come through. But the speed of the Bromenschenkel sisters would win the day.

In the 75th minute, Abby Bromenschenkel once again found herself with the ball behind the defense and once again was able to win the one-on-one matchup to give the Lady Trojans the victory.

The Bromenschenkels have teamed up for four years in volleyball, basketball and soccer to lead Mendota to a great

Princeton’s Michaela Strom and Mendota’s Sidney Saylor vie for the ball Tuesday. deal of success. Their athleticism proved too much for the aggressive Princeton defense, which all year has been pushing forward, daring teams to try to beat them over top.

“I think it’s unfortunate that we had a lot of one-on-one action for their goals,” senior captain Keyenna Altizer said.

“They like to boot the ball over us and try to outrun us. And unfortunately they did.

I think we worked well together as a team, better than they did. I think it’s unfortunate they beat us on break aways.”

Schlesinger added, “To build on that, I feel like we had a deeper team – a deeper bench, a deeper passing system. They had two, maybe three really talented players.

But that was it.”

The Tigresses end the season with a 6-9-4 record on the year and will return 15 players next year.

• In the opening game, the DePue Little Giants lost to the heavily favored and top seeded Alleman Lady Pioneers 14-0.

“I had a bunch of girls who liked the idea of playing soccer,” DePue coach Tim Stevens said. “But the heart and determination just weren’t there to compete, especially against a team the caliber of Alleman.”

Sinbad Vapors opens in Princeton Store aims to help people stop smoking

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Sinbad Vapors opened for business in Princeton at 105 S. Main St. The store opened on April 2.

Majid Jabber, CEO and owner of this store, also runs other ones in Kewanee, Peru and Ottawa.

“We are not associated with head shops,” he stressed. “We offer an alternative to smoking and are cheaper than smoking.”

Sinbad Vapors offers a variety of products to accommodate every taste and every budget.

“We provide a service to help people quit smoking,” he said. “We offer customers advice and guide people who come into the store.”

Jabber said he has had customers who have smoked for 50 years and were able to stop using the products in his store.

Jabber, who lives in Toulon, came to this country seven years ago from Iraq, where he was a translator for the U.S. Army. He has a master’s degree in engineering and worked at Caterpillar and Dell.

“I smoked for 13 years and tried to quit smoking,” he said. “I investigated these (vaping) devices, and they helped me to quit smoking.”

Jabber wants to stress that his store is not a head shop and doesn’t sell any

“We want to project professional image, so I require my employees to wear ties to separate us from our competitors,” he said. “Vaping has grown very fast in popularity.”

A vaping device consists of a battery and a liquid containing four chemicals with a variety of flavors for users. Devices have different levels of nicotine in them depending on the customer’s previous smoking usage. People can still enjoy the oral fixation but not have to smell like a

cigarette. Vaping does not emit harmful fumes in a house or car like smoking.

There are four chemicals in a vaping device versus 4,000 in a cigarette.

Jabber said vape stores have been popular in California and are becoming more popular in Illinois.

He feels every town will soon have a vape shop because the growing public awareness of them.

Hours for the Princeton Sinbad Vapors are from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday.

Grant supports free Shakespeare in the park for another year PRINCETON — For the third consecutive year, the Community Foundation of Central Illinois (CFCI) has made a grant to the Princeton Theatre Group in support of a free Shakespeare production in Princeton’s Soldiers and Sailors Park. Last year and this year, the grant has been made possible by the Russell F. and Eleanor Sikes Peters Performing Arts Fund administered by the CFCI. The grant this year will provide support for the Festival 56 production of “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar,” which opens at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 28, and then will be performed at 7:30 p.m. every Wednesday and Sunday evening through July 26. Dupont Pioneer Giving Program, OmniArts and many indi-

vidual donors have also provided generous financial support.

“Because of the generosity of our foundation, corporate and individual supporters, Festival 56 will be able to offer our 12th season of free Shakespeare in Soldiers and Sailors Park,” said Artistic Director Dexter Brigham.

“A generation of local children has now been raised on Shakespeare as part of their summer recreation. The combination of swordplay, spectacle and the magic of an outdoor live performance often works wonders on young theater-goers.”

“The Tragedy of Julius Caesar” is one of five plays offered during this year’s Festival 56 summer season. The other four, all of which will be

performed at the Grace Performing Arts Center, are “Respect: A Musical Journey of Women” (June 19-27); “Gypsy” (July 2-11); “The Drowsy Chaperone” (July 17-25); and “The Fox on the Fairway” (July 29-Aug. 3).

PERU — Heartland Bank and Trust recently presented a $3,500 check to Horizon House of Illinois Valley’s 2015 Road to Independence (RTI) Campaign.

Jack Boroski, Heartland Bank and Trust’s vice president in Spring Valley and Oglesby, presented a $3,500 check to Doug Biederstedt, Horizon House of Illinois Valley’s 2015 Road to Independence (RTI) campaign chairman and Dana Debo-Kuhne, co-chair. Sara Hudson, Heartland Bank’s retail manager at Princeton South and Sixth Street;

Brenda Trump, Heartland Bank and Trust’s retail manager at Princeton North; and Michele King, Heartland Bank and Trust at Peru participated in the check presentation.

Heartland Bank and Trust is a strong supporter of Horizon House. Both King and Boroski volunteer for the RTI campaign.

King said, “Heartland Bank and Trust believes in Horizon House and what they are doing to empower people with disabilities. They provide a valuable resource to our community.”

Horizon House has

been providing services to people with disabilities for more than 45 years.

The RTI Campaign relies on a team of more than 50 volunteers and donors to reach its goal of $100,000.

“We have incredible volunteers like Doug, Dana, Jack and Michele who make Horizon House a priority,” said Carol Fesco, director of development for Horizon House. “We kicked off the campaign at the end of February, and we have already raised over $63,000. I am confident that our RTI team will surpass the $100,000 goal.”

“Real estate requires many of the skills I have developed over the past 34 years as a teacher and coach,” she added. “”I am organized and follow through with commitments and promises. I believe honest commu-

nication is important and will strive to provide the best service possible.”

Khounnha has lived in the Illinois Valley her entire life, and her passion in real estate came at an early age from a growing appreciation to the various architectural details the homes throughout the area offer.

“My goal is to not only climb the corporate ladder of success through real estate, but also to be a contributor in the growth of family and business within the surrounding communities,” she said. “More importantly, to also bring a solid foundation and joy to individuals and families seeking to build a home within.”

Health department releases scores The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department makes routine and unannounced visits each month to various food service establishments in Bureau and Putnam counties to inspect the operation.

Health inspectors use an identical scorecard at each facility, where they check for health code compliance in 45 areas. Each area carries a rating from one to five, with five being the most critical. Inspectors check the entire operations of the facility in 14 different categories, such as food protection, personnel and garbage and refuse disposal.

Beginning with a score of 100 points, the health inspector deducts one to five points for every violation. The final total is the facility’s inspection report score. A passing food inspection score is 65 or above.

At 65, the Bureau/Putnam County ordinance allows the health department to close an establishment, but a score doesn’t have to be that low for the department to close it. It depends on the number of critical and non-critical violations and the type of violations. Certain combinations can create a domino effect for food borne outbreaks.

All inspection reports are a matter of public record and can be seen at the Bureau County Health Department in Princeton.

All evaluations were conducted April 1-31

Illinois Valley Scene

The Fray to headline shows at Illinois State Fair It won’t be long and everyone will be coming up with recipes for graduation.

Whether it’s a small or large gathering, Here are a few recipes that might help you.

Egg Salad for a Crowd 36 hard boiled eggs, chopped 6 celery ribs, chopped 3 large carrots, finely shredded 3 small green peppers, finely chopped 3 small onions, finely chopped 3 2 1/4-ounce cans sliced ripe olives, drained 3 cups mayonnaise 3/4 cup milk 1 tablespoon ground mustard Salt and pepper to taste Lettuce leaves, halved cherry tomatoes and sliced hard cooked egg, 100 bread slices (about 6 loaves) In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Whisk mayonnaise, milk, mustard, salt and pepper until smooth.

Stir into egg mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Garnish with lettuce, tomatoes and sliced egg if desired.

For sandwiches, spread about 1/3 cupful egg salad on one bread slice, top with another bread slice. Makes 50 sandwiches. For me, I would cut off the bread crusts and cut the sandwiches into 4 pieces.

Ham Salad 3 cups cooked ham, ground 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 1/4 cup celery, diced 3/4 cup to 1 cup mayonnaise Combine all ingredients. Mix well. Chill 2 to 3 hours.

Chicken Salad 2 cups cold chicken, cut up 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 cup celery, cut up Salt and pepper to taste 1/2 cup Miracle Whip Mix lemon juice, Miracle Whip and salt and pepper. Toss with chicken and celery. Serve on bread of choice.

Seven Layer Gelatin Salad 1 3-ounce package cherry gelatin 4 cups boiling water, divided 2 1/2 cups cold water, divided 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin 2 cups milk 1 cup sugar 2 cups (16 ounces) sour cream 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 3-ounce package lemon gelatin 1 3-ounce package orange gelatin 1 3-ounce package lime gelatin In a bowl, dissolve cherry gelatin in 1 cup boiling water. Add 1/2 cup cold water; stir. Pour gelatin into a 13-by-9inch dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Refrigerate until set but not firm,

about 30 minutes. In a small sauce pan, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup cold wear. Let stand for 1 minute. Stir in milk and sugar. Cook and stir over medium heat until gelatin and sugar are dissolved. Remove from heat. Whisk in sour cream and vanilla until smooth. Spoon 1 2/3 cups creamy gelatin mixture over the first flavored layer. Chill until set but not firm. Prepare remaining flavored gelatin as directed for cherry gelatin. Alternately layer flavored gelatin with creamy gelatin layer. Allowing each to set before adding next layer. Refrigerate overnight. Cut into squares. Makes 12 to 15 servings. It’s neat to do the layers in school colors.

• I like to make the sandwiches with pimento cheese spread on one slice. Top with second slice and then put either ham or chicken salad and top with third slice of bread. Trim off crusts and cut in half and then in half the other way to make triangles.

• Put out a platter of different cheeses, salami, assorted crackers, pickles and olives. Chips of all kinds and dips if you want. Then the traditional graduation cake in school colors.

Old Fashioned Potato Salad 4 pounds potatoes 12 hard boiled eggs, diced 1 medium onion, diced 2 cups chopped celery Dressing 3 cups mayonnaise 3 tablespoons prepared mustard 1/4 cup vinegar 1 3/4 cups white sugar 4 teaspoons salt or less 1/2 cup milk Boil potatoes in jackets. Cool and shred or dice. Add all other salad ingredients and toss. Combine all dressing ingredients and mix well. Pour dressing over potato salad and refrigerate at least overnight before serving.

SPRINGFIELD — Rock/ pop group The Fray will make a stop in Springfield this August to perform their chart-topping hits at the 2015 Illinois State Fair. The Denver-based foursome struck a chord with audiences, selling more than four million albums and 20 million singles worldwide. Their hit songs include, “You Found Me,” “How to Save a Life,” and “Over My Head (Cable Car).”

Opening for The Fray on Thursday, Aug. 20, will be Andy Grammer. With hits like “Keep Your Head Up,” and “Fine By Me,” Grammer is the first male pop star since John Mayer to reach the Top 10 at Adult Pop Radio on his first two singles. The two songs sold more than 1.5 million downloads combined.

Also performing at the 2015 Illinois State Fair will be the rock acts Styx and Tesla. The concert will be on Wednesday, Aug. 19. A headline act has yet to be scheduled for this night.

“The 2015 grandstand line-up is starting to take shape, and has a ton of variety to offer fair-goers,” said ag director Philip Nelson. “When you look at this line-up you’ll notice there’s something for everyone both young

and old, and we’re not done yet. We’ve got more grandstand announcements in the works. I think the 2015 Illinois State Fair will be one fair-goers will remember for years to come.”

Tickets for both shows went on sale through Ticketmaster on May 2.

Starting Monday, May 4, the Illinois State Fair Office began selling tickets for these shows weekdays between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Prices for the Wednesday, Aug. 19, show featuring Styx and Tesla will range from $50 for VIP tickets to $28 for Tier 3 seats.
