Street work coming to Spring Valley Board looks at priorities

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com.

SPRING VALLEY — As the summer weather rolls in, so does plans for street improvements throughout Spring Valley.

The 2014 Street Program is nearing completion, and as reported pre-

viously, alderman Chuck Hansen, chairman of the Streets and Alleys Committee, said each ward will have about $35,000 for improvements.

At Tuesday’s council meeting, Mike Richetta of Chamlin & Associates, sat down with the board to cover details about the street program. He dis-

cussed options on some road repairs, costs associated with the work and gave his recommendations about which direction to take on certain areas of the improvement plans.

It was pointed out the council could have leftover funds after repairs on the selected roads were completed. Hansen asked the board if they

would approve spending $4,500 to help fund an added-on project to the plans.

The streets program shows the city would be repairing Strong Street, from Erie Street to Cleveland Street, but with the extra $4,500 the plans could tack on repairing the intersection between Cleveland Street and Dakota Street so that the

entire strip — from Dakota Street to Erie Street — would be set.

It was pointed out the road was very well traveled due to Kirby Park in the area and is in bad shape, therefore the council leaned toward approving the expense.

Alderman Dan McFadden asked when the city crews could start street patching.

Street Superintendent Jeff Norton said it could be a month before he was able to get a crew together to start the work. It was pointed out that work being done on the west interceptor project, which is a project that sat two years on the back burner, is taking up a lot of they city crew’s time.

TISKILWA — A Tiskilwa woman is rallying her troops to help pass a federal bill that could bring justice to the alleged neglectful death of her brother, Nicholas Cutter, who died under medical care in a Miami veteran’s (VA) hospital.

Rainy Hopper, along with her mother, Mary Zielinski, are sweeping the news headlines — both locally and nationally — as they tell the compelling story of their family member.

Cutter, who was a 2004 graduate of Princeton High School, served a 15-month tour in the Iraq War. When he returned home, however, he was hospitalized for his diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury and hard addiction to cocaine.

It took Cutter nine months to get accepted into the Miami VA hospital, but when he did, his family was more than relieved knowing the particular hospital specialized in PTSD and drug rehabilitation.

They figured this might be the answer to their family member’s harsh addiction and struggle to maintain a normal lifestyle following his served time.

According to Hopper, the family received weekly reports stating Cutter had tested clean in routine drug tests. To family members, he seemed to be doing great and well on the road to recovery.

Boy dies inside family vehicle

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Fiveyear-old Logan Jacobs of Princeton was pronounced dead at 6:05 p.m.

Sunday at Perry Memorial Hospital in Princeton.

According to Bureau County Coroner Janice Wamhoff, Logan had asked his father if he could play with his tablet (electronic device). His father said it was fine. Wamhoff said his father was working on some household chores and assumed his son was in his room playing on the tablet. A 10-year-old sister and two other girls were also at the home.

Wamhoff said the boy was found in the father’s vehicle which was parked in front of the home about two hours later. The windows were up, and the vehicle was locked. The tablet was plugged into the charger in the vehicle. Wamhoff was told the child was known to fall asleep easily.

He was taken to Perry Memorial Hospital by

Princeton Ambulance, where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy was performed Monday; results are pending. The death is under investigation by the coroner’s office and the Princeton Police Department. An inquest may be scheduled.

Logan was a kindergarten student at Jefferson Elementary School in Princeton. On Tuesday, the Princeton Elementary School District’s Crisis Intervention Team was at the school to work with students and staff.

They will remain on site throughout the week. Part of the team is made up of the Bureau Marshall Putnam Special Education Cooperative.

“It’s a very sad day in the district. We are attached to everyone of our kids,” said Princeton Elementary School District Superintendent Tim Smith. “Our hearts, prayers and love go out to Logan’s family.”

Out of respect for Logan and his family, the Princeton Youth Baseball and Softball League canceled all home games on Wednesday.

Tractor trek headed to Centrue Bank Event will bring awareness to Wounded Warrior Project

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Centrue Bank in Princeton wants to continue honoring our nation’s military with an event set for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday at Centrue Bank’s north branch at 1839 N. Main St., Princeton C. Ivan Stoltzfus is an auctioneer, real estate broker and retired farmer who divides his time between homes in Pennsylvania and Florida. He grew up farming with a John Deere tractor and loved the sound of a two-

cylinder engineer. He had a dream to cross the country on an adventure with an old John Deere tractor and to raise funds along the way for a special mission.

Stoltzfus’ dream has become a reality, and he is currently traveling from New Jersey to California aboard a 1948 John Deere Model A tractor. His mission? To raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project — an organization supporting injured service members. As he travels the country, he hopes to raise $1 million, as he “changes lives one mile at time.”

Centrue Bank branch manager Tammi Lanxon said she received an email from a co-worker’s husband who stumbled onto Stoltzfus’ endeavors, but the bank rallied around the project and decided to host a picnic as Stoltzfus rolls into Princeton. If everything goes as planned, Stoltzfus aboard his Model A John Deere will roll into Centrue’s north branch parking lot around 11 a.m. with a local police and fire department escort. Princeton veteran Vern Sondgeroth will also help lead the way.

Once the procession gets to the bank, Sullivan’s Foods is joining forces with Centrue Bank to host a cookout,

which will include brats, hot dogs, sweet treats and more. All proceeds from the cookout will go toward the Wounded Warrior Project. The public is invited and encouraged to attend.

Parking may be tight, but event-goers can use the southwest corner of Sullivan’s Foods parking lot. Lawn chairs are welcome.

“I don’t think we honor the military enough. It’s just one more way we can let them know how much we appreciate what they have done and continue to do for us,” said Mike Smith, Centrue’s regional business development officer.

program, it could be determined that $4,500 could pop out of his estimations. He said he should have final numbers by next week, and the council will then know for sure whether they will have to spend the extra money or not.

The council should pass a resolution on the street program at next month’s

meeting.

In other news, Police Chief Kevin Sangston reported the police department was asked to do a survey at the intersection of Minnesota and Richards streets to determine in the intersection should be changed from a twoway stop to a four-way stop.

He said it was the police department’s recommendation to make the change, due to the amount of pedestrians walking to and from Kirby Park and the limited sidewalks in the area. The board agreed to draw up an ordinance to make the change.

On May 31 of last year, Hopper said her mother even received a letter from Lester Hartswick, a patient advocate at the hospital, stating that Cutter was progressing and would soon be graduating from the program.

The next day, June 1, 2013, the hospital notified the family saying Cutter had died from aspiration.

Cutter’s mother drove to the hospital, where staff members handed over her son’s personal belongings in a garbage bag.

Looking back, Hopper is appalled the hospital used garbage bags to get rid of her brother’s belongings.

“He was someone. He served our country. Why would you give us his things in garbage bags? That’s were the garbage goes. Why would you even assume that’s an OK thing to do,” Hopper said.

The family, however, said nothing at the time. While details seemed to still be unclear about the passing of Cutter, they accepted what had happened, grieved for their loss and buried him in Spring Valley.

One year goes by ...

Zielinski received a phone call a couple months ago from CBS Miami asking for an interview about the death of her son.

Still waiting to learn more about the investigation into what exactly happened, Zielinski agreed to the interview.

While on camera with the reporter, she discovered the Inspector General (IG) had completed an investigation into the death and determined the cause of death to be a cocaine overdose.

“They did that interview and hit her with a bomb,” Hopper said. “It was the VA’s fault that she didn’t know anything. They didn’t even tell her the IG’s report had even happened.”

In the report, Zielinski also discovered during the time of her son’s death the hospital’s security cameras had been broken, and the security at the door was so limited that no one asked to see a pass or ID of those coming or going.

“I always say that’s a huge thing because these are patients dealing with PTSD,” Hopper said. “If they haven’t killed themselves or someone else, they could do something drastic. These are the people who know how to defend themselves and know how to use a gun.”

The report also mentioned a majority of the staff spent most of their shift in a back room.

“They didn’t come check on patients; they didn’t do night charting or breathalyzer tests or night vitals,” Hopper said. “If they would

have done my brother’s night vitals, they would have discovered his heart rate was so rapid from the cocaine, and they probably could have saved his life.”

It was also noted in the IG’s report that Cutter had been so high from the drugs that he had to be helped to bed by other patients in the hospital.

“If he was doing drugs and smuggling them in, why weren’t we notified?” Hopper questioned. “As a family we would have went in, ripped him out and put him in a new drug rehab center because obviously he wasn’t doing well in Miami.”

A whistleblower comes forward Since Cutter’s story has gone public, a Miami VA police officer, Thomas Fiore, who still works at the facility, has come forward stating the death could have been prevented, and the hospital had known he had died several hours before they reported the incident.

Fiore admitted to CBS Miami the

hospital had evidence that Cutter was smuggling drugs into the facility and using them.

Hopper said she and her family cannot deny that Cutter had overdosed on cocaine, but they are outraged they were not notified of his drug problem.

“They are now saying he didn’t pass four drug tests. We were not notified of any of these tests,” Hopper said. “We also don’t know what time he died. We still have not seen a toxicology report, an autopsy report, or know what exactly what was in his system when he died; or what was done with his body before they reported the death. Nothing.”

Another piece of the puzzle that doesn’t sit well with the family is Cutter’s veteran grave headstone has still not been sent to his grave — which was the responsibility of the VA hospital.

What’s happening now?

Cutter’s family turned to a lawyer and looked into suing the hospital,

however, they discovered VA hospitals are protected so tightly by federal and state laws about misconduct, neglect and death that as the law stands now, it is impossible to sue.

“The laws are wrapped so tight to make sure no one is held accountable, and if you die, you just die,” Hopper said. “We’re not ready to let that happen because it’s disgusting … We’re not even close to being done fighting, and we’re taking this to Congress and national news.”

Currently, Florida State Sen. Marco Rubio is sponsoring a bill that will allow the secretary of the VA to fire employees found not doing their jobs correctly. If the bill is passed, the family will then be able to hold whoever is responsible for the death of Cutter accountable.

Hopper and her mother are turning to every media outlet who will listen to Cutter’s story to help spread awareness of how the passing of the bill could help bring justice.

“We want people to know that we’re not looking for any sort of donations or charity. All we want is awareness and for those people at the VA hospital to be held accountable,” Hopper said.

When lights don’t stay off Sometimes a bit of mystery in life is good.

I’m not easily spooked, but still there are times when things are a little hard to explain.

The other night my husband and I were headed to bed.

We had checked the exterior doors and windows to make sure they were locked. The coffee pot was ready for the morning. The alarm clock was set. The lights in the house turned off.

About two minutes after we gotten into bed, while we were still talking, a light came on in the COMMENTARY living room. It’s an unsettling feeling when a light comes on in your living room when no one should be in the house except my husband and me.

As I’m sure you agree, when you go to bed in a dark house, you expect the house to remain dark. I didn’t take a light in the living room as a good sign .

I, of course, sent my husband to investigate. I listened carefully to make sure I didn’t hear any signs of a struggle, just in case I would need to grab a baseball bat and charge into the living room to join the battle against someone or something. Fortunately, it was a good thing I didn’t hear any struggle because I don’t have a baseball bat in our bedroom … at least not then.

A few seconds later, my husband came back to the bedroom, reminding me we have a temperamental lamp that occasionally shorts out. For whatever reason, that’s what it must have been, we agreed. After all, no one would break into the house when we had just gone to bed, nor would a would-be thief turn on the living room light.

But somehow, my imagination got the best of me that night, and I lay awake listening for any unusual noises and watching for any more unexpected lights. I finally decided to get up, go into the living room and unplug the lamp, which I did.

A few hours later, I woke up and headed to the restroom. I turned on the light switch, but nothing happened. I tried again and then tried another nearby switch, in case I had somehow hit the wrong switch after years of living in the house. But still no light.

For just a fleeting second, the idea crossed my mind that “they” had cut off the power to our entire house.

Whoever had turned on our living room light just hours before, had now cut the electric power to our house.

But, I’m from Tiskilwa originally and enjoy a good challenge now and then. So I bravely went into the living room and looked outside where I saw street lights were also out. Apparently, the whole town had lost its power for some reason.

Reassured that my husband and I weren’t being directly targeted, I headed back to bed and slept well, no longer worried about lights that come on without warning and that go off without warning.

However, about an hour later, my husband woke up and saw a light shining down the hallway again, coming from our bathroom. I can only imagine what he might have thought. After all, all the lights had been off when we went to bed, at least the second time.

Rather than give him any explanation, I just chuckled to myself and rolled over.

A little mystery in life is good sometimes.

Getting rid of the monster within I can feel a little droplet of sweat about to trickle down the side of my face, my hairline beginning to moisten. My whole body is completely covered; only a peek hole is left for me to make sure the coast is clear and allow me a little fresh air. It’s getting stuffy in here, but I am petrified. There goes that little creaking sound again. What if someone’s out there?

If I can just get the guts to run into the next room …

Ahhh, the days of being a small child in a dark scary bedroom!

It might seem a bit far fetched, but that was literally reality for me.

I was scared to death of sleeping by myself. I didn’t watch scary movies all the time. I hated them, in fact, and still do. I never had a bad experience either. I was just simply scared of the darkness hiding some big, burly man that was determined to kidnap or hurt me.

I had watched one documentary-like TV show about a couple who got married and moved to a secluded place, and over time the husband got fed up with his wife and one day tried to murder her. He was unsuccessful, but the reality of the situation was ingrained in my head after that.

I can always remember, though, that as soon as I got the courage to burst out from under my blankets and make a mad dash for my parents’ bed I was immediately at peace. I am going to assume that if someone truly wanted to kill me that two measly parents wouldn’t be able to stand in their way, but for some reason I had the utmost faith

Danae Ross COMMENTARY that they could protect me.

Once I was in bed with my parents I was safe. That’s all there was to it.

Nowadays my worries aren’t quite so terrifying, but that doesn’t mean they don’t cause me stress. In fact, I get stressed out about a lot of things. I have a perfection issue.

Just a few weeks ago I had a big chemistry test, and as I was studying for it, I could not figure out how to do some of the titration problems. I tried and tried, but as soon as I thought I had it figured out, the next one would stump me.

I was tired, frustrated and overwhelmed by my lack of understanding of the material. As silly as it sounds, I wanted to cry because my need for perfection and disappointment with failure was strangling my mind again. I needed help.

Then I suddenly remembered what one of the speakers at Retreat to the Rock (a women’s retreat at Starved Rock Lodge) had said a few weeks ago: “Anxiety/worry is disgusting to God.” At first this seems to take matters a little too far; it comes off very strong and cold, but think about it for a second. God wants us to put our complete faith in him and simply trust He will be there for us.

He wants us to dash out of our monster/murderer laden rooms

and snuggle up next to Him, “casting all (our) anxiety on Him, because He cares for (us).” (1 Peter 5:7). Just like being a little kid and having absolute assurance that my parents would keep me safe, I needed to do the same with Heavenly Father.

I never figured out those chemistry problems, but I studied as much as I could and gave the rest to God, asking for peace and a clear mind.

I walked into my lecture hall the day of my test pretty confidently, actually despite my uncertainties because I knew I had done all I could and God would be with me the whole way.

I have never aced anything in my chemistry class, but wouldn’t you know it, as I was looking up my grade the next week, I was blown away by the 100 percent that showed up on the screen. My faith had paid off, but it wasn’t my success because I certainly didn’t know what I was doing on my own.

I learned from that experience that I need to get the guts to leave my scary bedroom where I am alone, give up on my own understanding (which is very minimal), and simply rely on God. I think our young and innocent youth stage seems to be when we were the smartest because we knew that when you have someone bigger and stronger than yourself to snuggle up to, everything suddenly becomes a lot more bearable.

“Because of therapy I feel like a new person!”

I am a diabetic and I had a blister on leg that was so sore. I was in the hospital for a week. I was really, really sick and was told that I had a disease in my veracious veins. I had become so deconditioned over time and in the hospital.

I knew I was not able to return home safely, so I decided to go to Liberty Village of Princeton for therapy. My goal was to return home to make lemon margined pie and vegetable soup for my family. Because of therapy I feel like a new person! I am heading home to cook and bake for my family once again! I now feel like I have energy again and I want to get up and do things-that’s more exciting than anything!

I can go out with the girls again! Therapy was the best thing for me-I never knew what therapy could do!

Byron 2A Softball Sectional: Stillman Valley 5, Hall 1

Sunset Ridge will Dew it up right

Season-ender

Cardinals break through late on Hall

By Jeff Schlesinger sports@bcrnews.com

BYRON — After a long ride, the Hall Lady Devils got off the bus ready to play some of their best softball of the season against the highly favored Stillman Valley Cardinals.

They played them even until the final inning when an onslaught of Cardinal drives plated four runs to give Stillman a 5-1 victory.

“It was a great game for us,” said senior captain and shortstop Brenna Faletti.

“They obviously had a much better record than us and it was 1-1 in the top of the seventh. I’m happy with how we played, and I think everyone should be.”

The first six innings of the game were a classic pitchers’ duel, highlighted by strikeouts, weak popups, soft liners and stellar defense.

Hall (12-11) got on the board first courtesy of a walk in the fourth inning to senior catcher Rebecca Herrmann. She was sacrificed to second on a bunt by junior Elle Herrmann then advanced to third on a single by Abbey Azarskis before scoring on an infield single by freshman third bagger Rena Barroso.

Barroso’s hustle made the play as it forced Cardinal shortstop Karissa Dobson, who had ranged BCR photo/Jeff Schlesinger deep into the hole to field Hall’s Rena Barroso beats out a throw to first base in the fourth inning of Tuesday’s the grounder, to rush the

Mead runs down PHS record

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Zoe Mead Set PHS 400 meters record

EAST PEORIA — Zoe Mead had one final shot at catching the Princeton High School record in the 400 meters. She made it her best shot.

The recent PHS graduate broke the 400-meters record with a time of 57.55 to take

top honors in Tuesday’s Peoria Journal Star Honor Roll Meet in East Peoria. Hannah Pinter was the previous PHS record holder in the 400, running a 58.2 in 1994.

“I gave Zoe the option to just run the 400 tonight as we still needed to try to get that school record. She came through with a great final race in a PHS uni-

form,” PHS coach Pat Hodge said. “She had her best 200 split in the first half of the race and was in third place at that point.

She was able to maintain her pace pretty well in the second half, catching one girl with about 50 meters to go and the other in the last few meters.

WALNUT — Sunset Ridge MX will host the Mtn. Dew ATV Motocross National Championship, running Friday through Sunday.

Reigning AMA Pro ATV Champion and Galena native Chad Wienen carries a 13-point lead into this weekend’s action and enters Sunset Ridge as the defending threetime race winner.

Two weeks ago at championship’s previous stop from High Point Raceway in Pennsylvania, Wienen came up just short in his bid for a 3-0 start to the season. The defending two-time ATVMX Champion was a fixture at the front of the field, but an impressive second moto performance by JB Racing/DWT/Mtn. Dew Live Wire Can-Am’s Joel Hetrick gave the victory to the up and comer and added intrigue to the early title fight.

Since the opening round of the 2014 season, Wienen, Hetrick, and ATVMX veteran John Natalie, have emerged as the most formidable riders in ATVMX. Each boasts at least one moto win, while both Wienen and Natalie have also finished on the overall podium in each of the first three rounds of the season. While Wienen’s consistency has allowed him to maintain the championship lead since the opening round, the rise to prominence by both Hetrick and Natalie is adding to the pressure of Wienen’s run at a potential third straight title.

Week in and week out, the on-track competition in 2014 has been compelling thanks to incredible battles for the win, podium, and throughout the AMA Pro ATV field. With the remaining six rounds of the championship scheduled on a bi-weekly basis from now until the finale at Loretta Lynn’s in August, the time is now for riders to make their move in the point standings.

While the top three riders in the champion-

ship appear to be hitting their stride, they will no doubt be accompanied by a slew of contenders who are also ready to step up and challenge for a win of their own. Former series champion Josh Creamer hasn’t had the consistency he was hoping for thus far in 2014, but the BCS Performance Can-Am rider does have a pair of fourth-place finishes through the first three rounds and sits just behind the lead trio in the championship standings.

Additionally, 2013 series runner-up Thomas Brown is learning from the success that has been achieved by his teammate and mentor Wienen at Wienen Motorsports/ SSi Decals/Walsh Yamaha. He sits fifth in the AMA Pro ATV standings and is primed to make a run for the podium Last year at Sunset Ridge, Wienen’s path to victory wasn’t as smooth as it had been the previous two seasons in which he posted dominant 1-1 efforts. After a strong start to the afternoon in which he won the opening moto, Wienen had to battle it out just to land on the podium in the final moto, which ensured his third consecutive victory at the facility by just one single point over Natali As the ATVMX Championship gears up for its six-round run to crown a champion in 2014, Sunset Ridge MX will provide a critical stop in that journey. If any of Wienen’s challengers can overthrow his recent reign at his home track, it could translate favorably in their continued efforts to unseat him as series champion.

Taking a look back at a record day at girls state There were a flurry of medals and records being broken in IHSA State Girls Track and Field Meet. It is well worth taking a look back.

Princeton senior Zoe Mead set a school record in the 800 meters with a time of 2:16.68 in Thursday’s preliminaries. She went to take second place in Saturday’s finals with a time of 2:15.87, los-

Mead, who on Tuesday set

the PHS record in the 400 meters, broke the 800-meter record held by Angie Noble since 1987. Mead’s coach, Pat Hodge, is the boys 800-meter record holder.

Bureau Valley used the stage of O’Brien Stadium to set two all-time Bureau County records and one school record.

The Storm’s 4x100 crew of junior Haley DeVoss, freshmen Tiana Kennedy and Marissa

Mungia and junior Lindsey Hoffert broke the all-time Bureau County record with a time of 50.71, placing eighth.

That erased both the 2006 BV 4x100 of Anna Phillips, Aubrey Franklin, Carlie Grunloh and Alisa Baron and the 1998 Hall 4x100 of Gina Vicini, Deanna Derix, Veronica Pinter and Mary Jo Giordano from the record books.

The Storm established a new

record in the 4x200 on Thursday (1:48.12) and came back two days later in Saturday’s finals and broke their own record. That mark of 1:48.10 ran by Marissa Mungia, Katelin Johnson, Tiana Kennedy and Lindsey Hoffert was good for eighth place.

The Storm capped their big day with another school and Bureau County record in the 4x400 with a third place time of 4:01.59 on the legs of senior Helena Osk Arnadottir, freshman Sabrina Webb, Kennedy and Hoffert. The previous county record was at 4:02.23 set by the BV 2006 crew of Baron, Stephanie Harrod, Mallorie Mathew and Hillary Monier “We had Lindsey and Tiana split under a minute, and Sabrina was right at it. That is awesome coming from a school our size,” BV coach Dale Donner said.

The PHS standout will be running for Lewis University next year, signing with the Romeoville school last week. She’ll be reunited with former PHS teammate Phoenix Smallwood, a Lewis freshman.

Princeton senior Zoe Mead took her cap and gown with her to the State Track Meet in Charleston. Instead of a diploma, she earned a state runner-up medal.

Helena’s parents watched her run online up in Iceland. She said her family gathered around the computer to watch and could tell which one she was when she walked on the track by the way she was walking,” BV coach Dale Donner said.

• It was great catching up to old Princeton Tigers Alex Hartz and Evan Holschbach in my column last week. For an update, Hartz has been named as the Coach of the Year in the Northern Illinois Conference.

It’s great to see J.A. Happ pitching so well.

throw which sailed just high and left, pulling the first baseman of the bag.

“Pikula pitched her tail off today,” said Hall coach Pete Kasperski, who is retiring. “And our defense was excellent. The amazing thing is we were relaxed. I don’t think they expected this. They were in a fight for their life.”

Sophomore Adrianna Pikula pitched the entire game relying on her defense — Faletti in the center of it. In the top of the fourth, after a leadoff walk and stolen base, Faletti started a double play that went from short to first and then back to third to get the runner trying to take an extra base.

That play was immediately followed by a running catch of a foul pop by left fielder Haily Goetz as she ran into the fence.

The Cardinals tied the score in the top of the sixth without the aid of a hit. A walk, a sacrifice bunt and two consecutive hit batters loaded the bases before a sacrifice fly to medium deep right field plated the runner.

The inning could have been much worse except Faletti made a beautiful pick and throw on a hard grounder to the hole. It was virtually the same play the Cardinal shortstop was unable to complete in the bottom of the inning.

Outside of the fourth inning when they scored their run, the Red Devils were simply unable to do anything against junior pitcher Payton Abbot, who scattered three hits while striking 10.

“She’s good. We haven’t seen that many great pitchers this year, so it took us a while to adjust,” Faletti said. “It’s been a long time, since Sherrard, that we’ve seen that good of pitcher.”

The Cardinals took command of the game in the top of the seventh when Lexi Morrision stroked a long

She turned in a 16.28 in the semifinals to eclipse the school record of 16.63 set by Jasmine Kunkel in 2008.

The eighth-grade boys 4x200 relay just missed out on a medal, placing 12th.

Alex Janssen, Kendile Whitford, Drake Davis and Brett Schenck did set a school record at 1:40.56. The previous record of 1:40.94 was set in 2001 by Alex Hartz, David Anderson, Derek Dickinson and Evan Holschbach.

Non-medal efforts by the Logan eighth-graders included Murray (13th, high jump, 4-8; 39th, 100, 13.60), Garrett Allen (13th, shot put, 42-2 1/4; 46th, discus, 95-3), Whitford (18th, 400, 55.56), Davis (40th, long jump, 17-5 14) and the 4x400 of Janssen, Brandt Hendrickson, Davis and Whitford (36th, 3:57.55).

Shane’s Shine Shop expands Extra space means more services

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Shane’s Shine Shop in Princeton has expanded.

“We take pride in our work,” said Shane Pennington, owner of Shane’s Shine Shop. “Word of mouth in a small town can help or hurt you.”

Pennington bought a portion of the building at 79 S. Sixth St. in Princeton in the fall of 2012. Recently, he purchased the rest of the building.

Operating in an actual brick and mortar place since 2012 has helped increase the business, he added. Buying the rest of the building in the last two months will allow him to add more services because of the extra space which includes three more bays, he said.

“We will be adding more offerings because of the

extra space with three more bays in the back to spray in-bed liners for trucks and install mudflaps,” he said.

Other services offered are headlight restoration, custom lighting, paint protecting film protecting against bugs, rocks and chips and interior detailing, plus using hot water extraction when shampooing carpets. Since tinted windows are now allowed in Illinois, Pennington will also use some of his extra space for this service.

Pennington first started Shane’s Shine Shop as a mobile detailing business from 2007 to 2009 until the economy turned down and interest waned in having vehicles detailed.

Pennington employs three full-time workers at Shane’s Shine Shop.

His phone number is 815-878-4301. His website address is www. shanesshineshop.com.

He also has a Facebook page.

MENDOTA — Mendota Community Hospital (MCH) has signed a letter of intent to affiliate with OSF Healthcare System (OSF HealthCare), one of the largest integrated systems in Illinois. The partnership with OSF HealthCare would give MCH financial stability and ensure the hospital can continue to meet the community’s health care needs into the future.

“This is great news for those we serve. The affiliation would preserve local access to quality health care, so area residents can continue to receive the care they need, close to home,” said Judy Christiansen, interim CEO of Mendota Community Hospital.

“Not to mention it would improve access to specialty services and cutting-edge technologies.”

Mendota Community Hospital has collaborated with OSF HealthCare for many years as an independent affiliate of the system, and the two organizations have similar missions.

“OSF and Mendota Community Hospital share a united vision for the future,” said OSF Healthcare System CEO Kevin Schoeplein. “We want to ensure that the tradition of high-quality health care in Mendota and the surrounding communities is not only maintained but

enhanced.”

Like many stand-alone, not-for-profit hospitals, MCH has been evaluating the best way to serve the community in light of the changing health care landscape and the new demands it puts on healthcare providers. The MCH Board of Directors began a strategic planning process in late 2013, with a focus on identifying ways to further collaborate with other providers.

“MCH not only has a great team of medical professionals, but a hospital building that is only 2 years old. We knew we had to be forward-thinking to keep these important resources in the community,” said Margo Gallagher Schmitz, president of Mendota Community Hospital’s Board of Directors. “After careful analysis and deliberation, we decided that affiliation with a larger partner was the best way to provide long-term viability, and OSF HealthCare is a strong fit for our hospital and those we serve.”

The next steps include the due diligence process, developing a definitive agreement, and applying for a Certificate of Exemption for a change of ownership with the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board, all of which are expected to be completed later this year.

PERU — Facet Technologies and Nerds on Call in Peru have welcomed its newest team member, Don Bollis.

Taste of Chicago announces headliners CHICAGO — The city of Chicago and the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) is pleased to announce the lineup of performers at the Petrillo Music Shell for the 34th annual Taste of Chicago, July 9-13 in Grant Park. Admission is free, and festival hours are 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

“We are thrilled to announce this fantastic lineup of performers for this year’s Taste of Chicago,” said Mayor Rahm Emanuel. “The free admission Taste draws a million plus residents and visitors to downtown Chicago each summer to experience award-winning entertainers while enjoying a taste of Chicago’s diverse culinary scene.”

Tickets for the seating area at the Petrillo Music Shell went on sale on May 22 at the Taste website, tasteofchicago.us.

AWOLNATION will headline the Petrillo Music Shell on July 9 to kick off the Taste of Chicago.

The dynamic electronic rock band was formed and fronted by Aaron Bruno, formerly of Under the Influence of Giants, Hometown Hero and Insurgence. The band’s 2011 debut album “Megalithic Symphony” includes the mega hits “Sail,” “Not Your Fault” and “Kill Your Heroes.” The band is currently working on a second studio album and they released two new songs from that album, “ThisKidsNotAlright” and “Some Kind of Joke.”

The alternative rock band Saints of Valory from Austin, Texas, is set to open for AWOLNATION on July 9. The band is fronted by lead singer and bass guitarist Gavin Jasper, along with guitarist Godfrey Thomson, drummer Gerard Labou and keyboardist Stephen Buckle.

The band’s most recent album, “Possibilities” in 2013 via Atlantic Records, includes the hits “Long Time Coming” and “Neon Eyes (Into the Deep).”

Performers for the 2014 Taste of Chicago include Nickle Creek (clockwise from above), Janelle Monáe, Jeff Tweedy and Saints of Valory.

Janelle Monáe, the award-winning songwriter, performer, producer and “avant-garde funkstress” will headline the Petrillo Music Shell on July 10, presented by Illinois Lottery. With her 2013 album “The Electric Lady,” Monáe presents a collection inspired by her life experiences while the powerful women in her life were inspiration for the first single “Q.U.E.E.N.” Her “superpowers” are sure to be on full display for Chicago fans.

The musical universe of Gary Clark Jr. will take over Taste when he opens for Monáe on July 10 with his soulful sounds. The 2014 Grammy Award winner for “Best Traditional R&B Performance” for “Please

Come Home” from his debut album “Black And Blu” has been hailed by the New York Times as “the next Hendrix.” Entertainment Weekly said of Clark, “Every generation has its chosen one and right now, this is Clark’s time.”

Nickel Creek, the Grammy Award-winning root music trio, is celebrating 25 years as a group and has returned to the stage after a seven-year hiatus. They’ll perform for Taste-goers on July 11, the concert is presented by Bud Light. Their 2002 album “This Side” garnered a “Best Contemporary Folk Album” Grammy and was followed by successes that led to their decision to take a break to grow musically and personally away from the

spotlight. With their new album, “A Dotted Line,” the musical strengths of violinist Sara Watkins, mandolinist Chris Thile and guitarist Sean Watkins foresee an exciting future for this trio.

Twelve-time Grammy Award-winner Emmylou Harris will grace the Petrillo stage on July 11. Just off her 2014 award-winning collaboration, ‘Old Yellow Moon’ with Rodney Crowell, Harris is one of the most prominent harmony vocalists and songwriters of our time. As a legendary American musician, Harris’ performance at the Taste of Chicago will be a special treat.

Opening the Petrillo Music Shell on July 11 is Oklahoma native Parker

Millsap. Millsap, who was brought up in the Pentecostal church, first picked up the guitar at age 9, the now 21-year-old singer/ songwriter delivers a powerful show with the fireand-brimstone fervor of a preacher. Most recently, Millsap was cheered at South-by-Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, Texas, with a vigorous performance and was the talk of the festival.

Chicago’s Jeff Tweedy is one of America’s most accomplished musicians and on July 12 he will bring his brand of contemporary rock to Taste of Chicago, presented by 93XRT. Best known as the founder and leader of Wilco, Tweedy tours quite often as a solo artist. Showcasing his tal-

ent as a songwriter with a 400-plus collection of songs to pull from, he also displays his skill on the guitar, a charismatic stage presence and a unique sense of humor. Additional artists will be announced at a later date.

Aloe Blacc will bring the mega hit “Wake Me Up” and “The Man” from his recent album, “Lift Your Spirit.” “Wake Me Up,” which he sang and cowrote for Swedish DJ Avicii, was a No. 1 hit in 102 countries and garnered more the 320 million hits on YouTube. Headlining the Petrillo stage on July 13, Blacc has proven himself as an adventurous singer/songwriter, who started as a rapper while pushing further into folk, soul and pop fusion with incisive lyrics, huge hooks and feel good grooves.

With more than 250 million albums sold worldwide, reggae superstars the Wailers will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of the Legends album featuring their greatest hits when they open for Blacc on July 13.

Best known for their legendary collaboration with Bob Marley, the Wailers are considered the greatest living exponents of Jamaica’s reggae tradition. The Wailers have performed for an estimated 24 million people across the globe.

Taste of Chicago is presented by the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events and sponsored in part by Aquafina, Blue Bunny Ice Cream, Bud Light, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Transit Authority, Communications Direct, CLTV-Chicagoland’s Television, Eli’s Cheesecake Co., Gallo Family Vineyards, Humana, Hyundai, Illinois Lottery, LaGrou Distribution System, Martin’s Famous Pastry Shoppe, Pepsi, Radio Disney AM 1300, Shoreline Sightseeing, Southwest Airlines, WGN-Television, WTTW 11’s Check, Please and 93XRT.

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

You can capsulize most pop music acts by reciting how many hits they’ve had and how many millions of albums they’ve sold. But these conventional measurements fall short when you’re assessing the impact of The Beach Boys. To be sure, this band has birthed a torrent of hit singles and sold albums by the tens of millions. But its greater significance lies in the fact that it changed the musical landscape so profoundly, that every pop act since has been in its debt.

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

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

Captained by Mike Love, The Beach Boys play an astoundingly busy schedule of concerts, averaging 150 shows a year, ranging from sundrenched summer festivals to gala New Year’s celebrations and special events worldwide.

In 1974, Mike Love’s concept album “Endless

!

Summer” ignited a second generation of Beach Boys fans and stirred a tempest that rocked the music world.

Grammy-winning songwriter Bruce Johnston (Barry Manilow’s “I Write the Songs) joined The Beach Boys in 1965, replacing Glenn Campbell, who filled-in for Brian Wilson, on vocals/ bass, when he retired from touring. Highly regarded as a singersongwriter, Johnston’s vocal work with such legendary artists as Elton John and Pink Floyd firmly established him among rock’s elite artists.

Had this band been less committed to its art and its fans, it could have retired from the field with honor at dozens of points along the way, confident that it had made a lasting contribution to world culture. It could have rested on the success of the epoch-shifting “Pet Sounds” masterpiece in 1966 ... or after recording Love’s co-written Golden Globe nominated “Kokomo” in 1988 and seeing it become its best selling single ever ... or after being inducted that same year into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ... or after watching its worldwide album sales blow past 100 million ... or after

winning the NARAS Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001 (along with The Who, Bob Marley, Tony Bennett, Sammy Davis Jr. and Les Paul). And still, The Beach Boys continue to have fun, fun, fun, with no end in sight. In 2012, The Beach Boys scheduled a 74-concert date limited 50th Anniversary Reunion Tour which was scheduled as a limited run reunion tour and ended in the United States July 15 and internationally on Sept.

28, in which the original members reunited and released “That’s Why God Made the Radio.”

The album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard charts, their highest chart position in 37 years and an unprecedented milestone.

The Beach Boys are led

by Mike Love and Bruce Johnston, who along with Christian Love, Randell Kirsch, Tim Bonhomme, John Cowsill and Scott Totten continue the legacy of the iconic American band. This tour will not feature Brian Wilson, Al Jardine or David Marks.

Few, if any, acts can match The Beach Boys’ concert presence, spirit and performance. They were center stage at Live Aid, multiple Farm Aids, the Statue of Liberty’s

100th Anniversary Salute, the Super Bowl and the White House. On one day alone — July 4, 1985 — they played to nearly 2 million fans at shows in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Love’s role as the band’s front man sometimes overshadows his stature as one of rock’s foremost songwriters.

“Surfin’,” The Beach Boys’ first hit came from his pen. With his cousin, Brian Wilson, Love wrote the classics “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “I Get Around,” “Help Me Rhonda,” “California Girls” and the Grammy nominated “Good Vibrations.” Years later, he showed he still had the lyrical chops by co-writing the irresistible and chart-topping “Kokomo.”

On The Beach Boys’ near horizon is another national/world tour and continued charity activities through Mike Love’s Love Foundation, which supports national environmental and educational initiatives. Love and The Beach Boys’ recent efforts raised over a quarter of a million dollars for the Red Cross to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina and made additional contributions to the disaster relief in Haiti.

Princeton Community Band opens 10th season June 1 PRINCETON — The Princeton Community Band will begin its 10th anniversary season with a concert at 6 p.m. Sunday in Soldiers and Sailors Park in Princeton.

Mementos from the world premiere concert of “The Red Covered Bridge” will be presented to city of Princeton officials.

Welcome to Princeton’s Apollo Theater Nostalgia coupled with state-of-the-arts

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — For many movie-goers, the Apollo Theater located on Princeton’s main drag is a place to escape down Memory Lane.

The landmark stands as a nostalgic reminder of times when life seemed more simple, and going to see a movie on a Friday or Saturday night was a treat to look forward to after a long, hard week.

Like a tangled roll of movie film from the past, the Apollo Theater is also tangled in the many memories of days gone by. Was it at the Apollo Theater where a first date took place — maybe your first kiss in the back row of the theater? Was it your first job, where you helped usher people to their seats or popped popcorn for hungry customers? Was it the place you saw your first movie?

Not much has changed appearance-wise since those days, and that’s what makes the Apollo Theater the gem it is today.

The building itself holds a plethora of history. It dates back to 1883, when it was first used as an exhibition hall before being transformed into an opera hall and Vaudeville stage. It marks the practice place for the famous organist Virgil Fox and the hangout spot for Academy Award nominee Richard Widmark.

In 2009, the Apollo Theater fell into the laps of Lara and Joachim (Jay) Schneider, who have since showed commitment to preserving the history of

the business, while at the same time incorporating a state-of-the-art movie experience for their customers.

Jay Schneider is quick to admit he never dreamed of ever owning a movie theater, but with a hospitality business background, he knew he would once own some sort of business.

While between jobs, he spent time looking at businesses for sale — usually hotels, restaurants and bars. When he came across the Apollo, it was the first time he’d even considered the entertainment business.

But after six months of scoping out the work involved, the Schneiders made their move and decided to carry on the tradition of the small town theater.

“I don’t know why I never thought about (the theater business) because I love movies and candy,” Jay laughed. “I knew I would love it, although I had a little bit of convincing to do with my wife.”

Jay claims to have been a huge movie fan even before the Apollo slipped into his radar. He can recall taking the bus with friends to the movie theater in a nearby town back in Germany, his native land.

The decision to take on the business has never held any regrets for the Schneiders.

“I always had, what my wife called, the two-year itch. Whatever job I did after two years, I got bored and just had to do something else,” Jay explained.

“This is our sixth year here, and I still do new stuff on a

daily basis, which is great.

I like having to fix a toilet on one day and then come up with a new promotion idea for the next day. This job covers a wide spectrum of skills, and I love that.”

But taking on the old the theater, Jay admits, does have its challenges. The most obvious, of course, is keeping up with a building that dates back well over a century ago.

Under the Schneiders’ ownership, it’s undergone several major improvements including a new roof, the reconstruction of a fallen wall, installation of new seating and the replacement of flooring in the theater rooms.

The list of needed projects to get done is a long one, and expenses are not minimal when it comes to maintaining an antique structure.

“I sometimes feel bad because I still have the old sound curtains in there, and it’s on my list of things to do. But if I have a choice between fixing the foundation and fixing the sound curtains, the foundation will come first,” Jay said.

In September 2012, the Schneiders made the biggest investment to the

The Apollo Theater (above), located on Princeton’s Main Street, has been under the ownership of Lara and Jay Schneider since 2009. The two have shown commitment to preserving the history of the theater while incorporating a state-of-the-art movie experience for their customers. In 2012, the Schneiders were forced to replace their 35 millimeter film with digital technology and also added 7.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound System in the theater (below). The entire investment cost almost as much as the business itself, but the upgrade has produced a more focused picture and better sound quality for movie-goers.

Illinois Valley Scene Princeton landmark yet when they were forced to replace the 35 millimeter film projectors with digital technology.

“There was a big move in the movie industry when all the large film distributors said you have to go digital because we’re going to stop the 35 millimeter movies,” he said. “Lucky enough, in the four years we had the business, we built enough goodwill with the bank, and we were able to borrow the money needed to go digital.”

The transformation came with a price tag of around $150,000 — which is almost as much as the Schneiders paid for the business itself.

“The alternative would have been closing down and not having a movie theater,” Jay said, which just wasn’t an option in his mind.

Along with digital film, came the 7.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound System.

“I hope people notice how much better the picture is. It’s focused; it’s bright; and the sound is awesome. I love it,” he said.

More improvements are on their way in the future, costumers will see new seating, new additional flooring and eventually new sound curtains. A far off long, long term goal might possibly be a third screening room.

“But that’s a super long time off,” Jay laughed.

“

“I hope people notice how much better the picture is. It’s focused; it’s bright; and the sound is awesome. I love it.”

Jay Schneider Show times at the Apollo vary on the movie; usually a matinee takes place around 4 p.m. A second showing is around 7 p.m., and in the summer, the theater offers 9 p.m. showings. The box office opens daily 15 minutes before the first advertised movie show, except on Tuesdays when the theater opens 30 minutes prior to the first movie.

Now with warmer weather coming on, it’s the time to make up some pasta dishes, where you can make them the night before and have them ready for dinner the next night when you get home. I also included a favorite pasta casserole — I always enjoy comfort food, regardless of the time of year.

Cool and cut into cubes. Cook noodles according to package directions. Blanch in cold water. Put noodles, corn, green pepper, onions, mushrooms, pimentos, cheese and pork in large casserole dish. Dot with margarine. Cover and bake at 325° for 1 1/2 hours.

Salami Pasta Salad 2 cups uncooked small pasta shells 3/4 cup chopped green pepper 3/4 cup chopped fresh tomatoes 1/2 cup chopped pepperoni 1/2 cup cubed hard salami 1/2 cup whole ripe olives, quartered 2 ounces provolone cheese, cubed 1/3 cup chopped onion Dressing 1/3 cup canola oil 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 2 tablespoons sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon pepper Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold water. Place in a large bowl; add the green pepper, tomatoes, pepperoni, salami, olives, cheese and onion. In a small bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients. Pour over pasta mixture, toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

To view a summary version of the completed Source Water Assessments, including: Importance of 815-224-1650 Source Water; Susceptibility to Contamination Determination; and documentation/recommendation of Source Water Protection Efforts, you may access the Illinois EPA website at http://www.epa.state.il.us/cgi-bin/wp/swap-fact-sheets.pl.

Based on information obtained in a Well Site Survey published in 1992 by the Illinois EPA, several potential secondary sources with in 1,000 feet of the wells were indentified.The Illinois EPA has determined that the Spring Valley Community Water Supply's source water is not susceptible to contamination. This determination is based on a number of criteria including: monitoring conducted at the wells, monitoring conducted at the entry point to the distribution system, available hydrogeologic data on the wells, and land use activities proximate to the wells..Furthermore, in anticipation of the U.S. EPA's proposed Ground Water Rule, the Illinois EPA has determined that the Spring Valley Community Water Supply is not vulnerable to viral contamination. This determination is based upon the evaluation of the following criteria during the Vulnerability Waiver Process: the community's wells are properly constructed with sound integrity and proper siting conditions; a hydrogeologic barrier exists which should prevent pathogen movement; all potential routes and sanitary defects have been mitigated such that the source water is adequately protected; monitoring data did not indicate a history of disease outbreak; and the sanitary survey of the water supply did not indicate a viral contamination threat. Because the community's wells are constructed in a confined aquifer, which should prevent the movement of pathogens into the wells, well hydraulics was not considered to be a significant factor in the susceptibility determination.

Hence, well hydraulics were not evaluated for this ground water supply.

Source Water Information Source Water Name

Type of Water

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pickup substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.

Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.

Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses.

Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems.

Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

Source Water Assessment

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.

Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.

EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing.

We cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

We want our valued customers to be informed about their water quality. If you would like to learn more, please feel welcome to attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. The source water assessment for our supply has been completed by the Illinois EPA. If you would like a copy of this information, please stop

by City Hall or call our water operator at __________________.

To view a summary version of the completed Source Water Assessments, including: Importance of 815-699-2631 Source Water; Susceptibility to Contamination Determination; and documentation/recommendation of Source Water Protection Efforts, you may access the Illinois EPA website at http://www.epa.state.il.us/cgi-bin/wp/swap-fact-sheets.pl.

Based on information obtained in a Well Site Survey published in 1991 by the Illinois EPA, several potential secondary sources within 1,000 feet from the wells. Updated information provided by Wyanet water supply officials indicates that potential sources in the site data table have changed there status: the tanks have been removed from the Kenneth Jagers property, the Wyanet Township Building, Barker Milling and Grain, the Esther Jaggers property, and the Village of Wyanet property.The Illinois EPA has determined that the Wyanet Community Water Supply's source water is not susceptible to contamination. This determination is based on a number of criteria including: monitoring conducted at the wells; monitoring conducted at the entry point to the distribution system; and available hydrogeologic data on the wells.Furthermore, in anticipation of the U.S. EPA's proposed Ground Water Rule, the Illinois EPA has determined that the Wyanet Community Water Supply is not vulnerable to viral contamination. This determination is based upon the evaluation of the following criteria during the Vulnerability Waiver Process: the community's wells are properly constructed with sound integrity and proper siting conditions; a hydrogeologic barrier exists which should prevent pathogen movement; all potential routes and sanitary defects have been mitigated such that the source water is adequately protected; monitoring data did not indicate a history of disease outbreak; and the sanitary survey of the water supply did not indicate a viral contamination threat. Because the community's wells are constructed in a confined aquifer, which should prevent the movement of pathogens into the wells, well hydraulics was not considered to be a significant factor in this determination.
