County OKs work on courthouse/jail Some county board members question why projects were not put out for bid

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Between the Bureau County Courthouse and the Bureau County Jail — there’s much restoration work to be done.

At the county board meeting on Tuesday, June 9, building and grounds committee chairman Kristi Warren reviewed all emergency work needing to be done between the two buildings.

In the coroner’s office at the courthouse, Warren said there is an issue within the wall where water is leaking inside.

She explained it can’t be determined whether it’s a roof issue or problems in the masonry.

Because of this, the buildings committee recommended restoration work be done to the masonry first on that section of the building.

On Tuesday, the board approved a $24,800 bid from Westside Masonry to do all necessary work related to the repairs.

Warren confirmed prevailing wage would be paid, and the work would be guaranteed for up to five years.

The building and grounds committee unanimously approved the bid, however, board members had some more questions before the approval.

Board member Joe Bassetti questioned whether or not the committee went out for additional bids; Warren said no.

“I think we should start going out for bids. We need to go out for bids,” he said.

Warren explained the reasoning the committee did not go out for bids on the

A new wastewater treatment plant Spring Valley looks at $$$ for project

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — Spring Valley continues to move ahead with planning for construction of the city’s new wastewater treatment plant.

At the Spring Valley Council meeting on Monday, June 8, city engineer Larry Good confirmed the plant’s project plans are currently out for bid.

Right now, Good has put together cost estimates of the project with a 5 percent contingency and 10 percent contingency.

He confirmed using the 10 percent contingency was a little more of a conservative estimate to make sure the project doesn’t go over that cost.

Good said the price of the project when only factoring in construction costs totals around $10.5 million, however when non-construction totals are factored into that price, it bumps it up to $11.7 million.

Good confirmed $11.7 million will leave the city $900,000 short of available funding. As previously reported in the Bureau County Republican, a big chunk of costs will be covered by the $9.5 million state grant that was awarded by past Gov. Pat Quinn. The city still has $185,000 on hand from insurance money. The city is also getting $996,000 from FEMA assistance.

It didn’t help the city any in having to add $275,000 to the project costs because of the replacement of the sewer interceptors at the treatment plant, which were later found to be inoperable.

As previously reported, the city plans to pay the portion not covered by funding with an IEPA low-interest loan and city funds.

Good said the real test will be on Wednesday, July 29, when the city will open bids to contractors and see where they say the project costs will fall.

“After we get bids and see where they are, we will actually be able to look at real numbers and not have to look at estimates,” Good said.

Good said he has sat down with several city officials to look at cost-saving

Making a splash into summer weather This pelican, captured by Bureau County Republican correspondent photographer Mike Vaughn, was found in the back waters of the Mississippi River — just a short drive from Bureau County. While it appears this bird is enjoying the warm weather and water, area residents are also doing the same at private and public swimming pools in the area. Temperatures for the next few days are expected to be well into the 80s.

Speeding!

Tiskilwa discusses speeding motorists in the village

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

TISKILWA — Dick Fisher, a resident of Tiskilwa who lives on East Main Street, fears that speeding drivers will cause a

terrible accident in town unless some measures are taken to slow them down.

Fisher appeared before the Tiskilwa Village Board at its meeting Tuesday, June 9, asking what can be done to slow traffic down in front of his house, since the railroad crossing was recently renovated and made smoother for traffic crossing.

Fisher lives in a house closest to the railroad crossing and said the worst areas when drivers speed in front of his house are from 7 to 8 a.m. and 3:30 to

4:45 p.m. Fisher said he saw one car pass two other cars one day going an estimated 70 miles per hour on East Main Street that has a speed limit ranging from 20 to 25 miles per hour.

Fisher said a police officer is only in town late at night from 9 p.m. to midnight.

Village Board President Randy Philhower said the village’s police officer was in town one day recently, but one

Jaime Russell-Polhemus (front row, second from left) poses with her husband, Terry Polhemus (in back) and their three children of Princeton. Jaime has been suffering from Still Persons Syndrome, an autoimmune disease. She will be undergoing a stem cell study procedure to hopefully alleviate the symptoms, if not actually cure the disease altogether. ing her a heavy dose of chemotherapy that will kill off many cells and part of her immune system. A central line will then take out baby cells from her bone marrow.

“These cells don’t have the memory like the adult stem cells that are carrying the bad antibodies,” Polhemus explained. “They generate new ones, pull them out, wash them and freeze them for two weeks, while they are giving me extreme chemo that kills off everything in the body.”

During this time Polhemus will be kept in almost complete isolation to avoid any infections or other diseases her body could easily catch with no immune system, which could lead to death very quickly.

Once the body is at the lowest point it can handle, the clean baby cells will be re-injected into her body.

“You’re like rebooting your system they say,” Polhemus said. “They actually call it your birthday, or re-celebration of life because you have a whole new immune system and have to go back and get all your immunizations again for things like chicken pox and measles, just like a baby would.”

After the body regains the cells, it will begin to recover. Based on studies, the recovery time varies from people to people.

“People with SPS — they say it could be about six months before it’s cleared,” Polhemus said.

In many cases, people who get to their one year check-up are, for the most part, cleared of the disease.

A downside of being a part of the study, however, has been the cost of the procedure, which will be anywhere from $300,000 to $375,000.

Even through it’s deemed

medically necessary, the Polhemus’ insurance has denied coverage after three appeals.

Right now, the Polhemus family continues to find ways to convince their insurance company to cover the cost. They’ve even taken steps, as far as contacting local politicians for help.

As the battle continues, the Polhemus family has set-up a Go Fund Me account, which is helping to raise money for the costs.

Polhemus has signed a contract with Dr. Burt that states all medical costs will be covered within 30 days of the procedure.

Polhemus family takes on undergoing a risky procedure While this procedure is extremely risky, and Dr. Burt has brought it to her attention it could cause death, Polhemus is looking at it as a once in a lifetime chance.

“My disease has been

awful … If it works for me and it can help someone else, then I want to spread the word,” she said.

While there has been many stories from people with other autoimmune diseases who have undergone the stem cell study with much success, Polhemus will only be Dr. Burt’s second patient going through this with SPS. The first patient is a women who will be only three weeks ahead of her in the procedure.

Polhemus said one side of her is scared — a lot of her worry comes from having to leave her husband and three boys for two months during the study.

The other side of Polhemus is full of excitement and feelings of luck. While her journey with this disease has been rough, she feels she’s been put in the right place at the right time throughout the whole affair.

“To have met my doctor at Mayo at the right time,

to have found this stem cell study and know it’s being offered in Chicago and how they were only accepting 10 people with SPS — it makes me excited,” she said.

Polhemus said some people have to be the pioneer of things in order to get through them for future patients. In this case, she’s going to be the pioneer.

“You have to blaze the path,” she said. “I’m going into it with the mindset that I’m going to get better, and in the back of my mind I can say if I don’t, at least they are still going to discover something from my case.”

“If I can help with the SPS angle, and be a person who has gone through it and encourage other people, then I’m so excited. All these other people have gone through it and because of that, it’s made for a lot of positive research for the next person,” she said.

Keep the steaks on the grill and the flames off the deck Summer grilling safety

Gas grill safety tips • Check the major connection points between the gas (propane) tank hose and the regulator and cylinder, and where the hose connects to the burners. Tighten if loose.

• Check the gas (propane) tank hose for the potential (gas) leaks. To do that: Turn the propane tank on. Apply a light soap and water solution to the hose using a brush or spray bottle. If there is a gas leak, the propane will release bubbles around the hose (big enough to see).

• Once you have determined your grill has a gas leak by smell or by administering the soapy bubble test and there is no flame, turn off the gas tank and burners. If the leak stops at that point, get the grill serviced by a professional before using it again. If the leak does not stop, call the fire department immediately.

• If you smell gas while cooking, move away from the grill and call the fire department immediately. Do not move the grill.

PRINCETON — A hot summer can mean steaks on the grill, but it shouldn’t mean grill and grease fires.

Princeton Fire Chief Chuck Woolley encourages all area residents to be cautious and safe when grilling out this summer.

“Have a good safe summer,” he said.

According to Woolley, in recent years there has been less fires and problems caused by grilling. However, Woolley is unaware if the grills have improved or if people are simply being more safety conscious.

While people have been safer in recent years, he does not want anyone to become lax about grilling safety.

Make sure the grills are far from any structure that may catch fire, said Woolley, especially with gas grills. With charcoal grills, he continued, make sure there is nothing beneath them; the embers may fall out and catch fire on surfaces like a wooden deck.

The grills need to be clear of flammable structures just as they need proper

ventilation, said Woolley.

According to the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), both propane and charcoal g r i l l s should only be used outdoors.

Just be cautious and follow instructions according to the grill manufacturers,

said Woolley.

Be sure an adult is operating or watching over the grill at all times, h e added.

T h e N F P A reminded the public to be sure their pets and children remain clear of the hot grill this season.

Also, the agency

explained, people should keep the grill grates, surfaces, and trays clean of grease or fat build up.

Grease traps and grill surfaces need to be kept clean because they can easily catch fire, said Woolley.

With Father’s Day right around the corner, Sunday June 21, now is the time to clean up and get the grill ready. It’s been years since there was a serious grill fire concern, said Woolley, and the fire department would like to keep it that way.

Charcoal grilling safety tips • There are several ways to get the charcoal ready to use. Charcoal chimney starters allow you to start the charcoal using newspaper as a fuel.

• If you use a starter fluid, use only charcoal starter fluid. Never add charcoal fluid or any other flammable liquids to the fire.

• Keep charcoal fluid out of the reach of children and away from heat sources.

• There are also electric charcoal starters, which do not use fire. Be sure to use an extension cord for outdoor use.

• When you are finished grilling, let the coals completely cool before disposing in a metal container.

Rinks on the rise Hockey growing in popularity among sports enthusiasts

By Zita Henneberry zhenneberry@bcrnews.com

With the Stanley Cup in the midst of its fastpaced, best-of-seven series, many hockey fans are gathering together in full gear. A survey taken from the leading personal finance website, WalletHub, aimed to identify the best and worst cities for hockey fans in 2015.

Out of an 18 key factor system, WalletHub collected data ranging from ticket prices to stadium accessibility and the city’s team performance level from 74 of the largest U.S. cities.

While the Tampa Bay Lighting team may be leading the cup in a 2 to 1 series against the Chicago Blackhawks going into Wednesday’s game, neither team tops the list of best cities for the hockey fans. Topping the list, according to the WalletHub calculations is Pittsburgh.

However, Tampa Bay comes in not too far behind, ranked at No. 4, and the Chicago Blackhawks just made the Top 10 at No. 9. These findings were determined by compiling the average ranks of both the teams and their performance rank, as well as the costs and fan engagement score.

As a big Blackhawks fan, Princeton Park District Recreation Coordi-

Spring Valley From Page 1 measures. A list of several items has been made in areas where officials believed the project could be altered to saving money.

The cost savings measures have been included in the $11.7 million project cost.

Trouble with burning Alderman Larry Koehler brought attention to the burning issues that have

Fisher said drivers don’t always stop at the intersection of State and Main streets just west of the railroad crossing.

He added he has a list of cars he has seen speeding through town that he will submit to the sheriff’’s department.

nator Nick Davis said he believes Chicago would be one of the greatest cities for a hockey fan. The former NHL player Terry Hollinger of Ladd agreed, adding Detroit to his list of best hockey fan cities.

WalletHub found the worst city for hockey fans to be Springfield, Mass., as its team and performance is ranked at 72, and its costs and fan engagement ranking is the lowest scoring with the highest number of them all at 74.

After Pittsburgh, Chestnut Hill, Mass., came in second; St. Louis, ranked third; and Boston, in fifth as the greatest cities for hockey fans. While Hollinger listed it as one of the top cities, WalletHub found Detroit, to be ranked seventh on the list.

According to the collection database, hockey is currently the fourth most followed sport in the U.S. among adult fans and continues to only climb in its popularity. In fact, the National Hockey League is so popular, it sold out more arenas than the National Basketball Association this past season.

“And America’s obsession with hockey seems only to be growing,” said the WalletHub website.

Going along with the recent growth of hockey’s popularity, Davis said while he’s been a major sports fan all his life, it was only within the past

few years he really got into hockey. Davis said he believes hockey has grown so tremendously in popularity due to the recent and consistent success of the Chicago Blackhawks.

According to Hollinger, a former NHL player for the St. Louis Blues and its farm club Peoria Rivermen, the Chicago Blackhawks have boosted the sport’s relevance in the area. Hollinger who played professionally for 13 years, said hockey will always have its ups and downs.

The avid and loyal fan base in hockey can make it difficult for the hockey business, said Hollinger.

Since the fans pretty much stick to their one team, it makes it difficult for TV networks to pick up the sport, he said, adding he success of the Blackhawks is really promoting hockey, especially in the area.

The Blackhawks and the Blackhawks’ fans travel well, said Hollinger, which is breaking some of those hockey barriers.

However, Hollinger who moved to Ladd from Canada to play hockey professionally, believes there is too much sports competition in the U.S. for hockey to grow into a U.S. sports favorite as it is in Canada.

Davis said he has seen hockey growing more and more among the area youth. Kids are out playing hockey on roller-blades everyday, said Davis. Ten years ago, you probably would not have seen that, he added.

been happening in his ward.

He said he has gotten several complaints from residents about their neighbors burning materials after 4 p.m.

“It’s OK to burn, but if that fire is smoldering until midnight, then something is wrong. Something has to be done,” he said.

He questioned whether the city should get tougher on the matter, however alderman Chuck Hansen confirmed it’s already been stated in the ordi-

nance about the no burning after certain hours.

Police Chief Kevin Sangston spoke up and said residents must call the police department when the burning is happening, and officers will ticket whoever is doing the burning at that time.

He made it clear the call has to be made when the burning is happening, or else the police department cannot do anything about the matter.

Dan Acker, village trustee, said it is a valid point that when police issues arise, there is no one available in town at that time to address it due to the part-time officers hired by the village. Philhower said there are some ways to temporarily slow people down, but those efforts last only a short time before people start speeding again.

In other business, village board members approved a $997,500 budget and appropriation ordinance for 201516 that was $4,500 less than last year’s ordinance amount, hiring Jay Mickow to perform the village audit, the prevailing wage

Village board members heard TCA members are remodeling bathrooms in the West Park in time for Pow Wow Days; the village’s clean-up day is June 19 and Saturday, June 13, is Strawberry Festival in town.

Philhower asked board members to think of candidates for Citizen of the Year to be decided at next month’s meeting. This award is delivered to the recipient at Pow Wow Days in August.

Board From Page 1 project was because of the emergency to get the project completed.

The board approved the bid, with Bassetti and board member Tom Dobrich voting no.

Also in need of emergency repair is the center section of the jail’s roof.

“We need to get that repaired as soon as possible,” Warren said.

Representatives from Tremco Roofing and Building Maintenance gave a brief presentation to the board about their company, and the restoration roofing product they provide for structures.

Tremco has offered to restore the center section of the jail with a 30-year warranty for $33,203.

Warren said the building and grounds committee met in a special meeting before the regular board meeting on Tuesday, June 9, and unanimously agreed to go with Tremco.

While Bassetti again questioned whether or not the project went out for bid, Bureau County Deputy Jim Shipp, who oversees construction projects at the jail and courthouse, got up and explained the project wasn’t put out for bid because it was also determined to be an emergency situation.

He explained the center section of the roof had taken more of a beating than the other sections of roof at the jail.

“The center piece needs attention right away ... We can’t wait any longer,” he said.

Warren further explained the center section of the roof is the worst part.

“They said the other two sections were OK, but the center section does need attention; and they are still having issues with water over there,” she said.

After further discussion the board approved the restoration bid from Tremco, with board member Mike Maynard voting no and board member Loretta Volker abstaining

from the vote.

The board also approved for Tremco to complete an infrared survey on the roof of the jail and of the courthouse at a cost of $4,000.

The survey will be able to pick up further damage the jail and courthouse roofs have sustained.

“The committee feels that this is an integral part of the process of going through and repairing or replacing some of the roof,” Warren said.

For the courthouse roof, which is also showing damage in certain areas, the board agreed to call in an engineer to give the board an unbiased recommendation on what should be done to the roof.

While the board doesn’t yet have a cost to bring in an engineer, they agreed not to spend more than $50,000 for the engineering services.

“We don’t think it’s going to cost that much, but we wanted to approve up to that amount,” Maynard said.

My compass ...

Thank you Bureau County Lost along the road of life I wandered aimlessly uncertain of myself and of my direction. One little ad in the local newspaper changed my life for the better and forever.

I sent in my resume out of sheer hope, not expecting a call back. My general Bachelor of Arts in English Studies seemed hardly enough with no experience to land me the coveted position at the respected local paper, which I had grown up reading as a girl. Luckily, everything happens for a reason.

I was hired on as a staff writer for the Bureau County Republican.

Of every opportunity, this one has been the most enlightening. The limited line of vision I once carried with me no longer clouds my view of the local area. I grew into the adult I needed to be and gained a confidence in myself I had never known before.

COMMENTARY Here at the Bureau County Republican I have been given the opportunity to grow into the informed individual and citizen I want to be. I have earned an award from the Illinois Press Association and have grown in my skills as well as my confidence and comfort writing for the public. I plan to pursue journalism in my future, but for now, my focus will be taking the next step in life with my new husband.

I truly believe the confidence and purpose I gained here at the BCR has helped me on my way to my recent marriage and commitment to life as an Army wife. The confidence I gained in myself allowed for the commitment and determination I now have as I venture out to a new life in Florida.

Never before had I realized the confidence it requires to accept my career may need to come second to my husband’s career. While I once stood firm against an Army relationship for that exact reason, I am now able to accept my role as an Army-wife in a marriage partnership. There will be times, such as now, where my career will need to come second when faced with his Army commitments and contracts. That does not make me a weak or vulnerable woman as I once believed it could, but rather it makes me a committed American and wife with a part to play. I have married more than just a man, I have married a man in the Army. In this partnership of our life together, his commitment is now mine.

While I hate to leave this great company and the wonderful people of the newsroom, I know this is my next step. I have gained so much more than experience while learning from and laughing with the BCR staff. I have grown from the touching stories many local citizens have permitted me to share for them, and I am more than grateful the chance to do so. I sincerely hope I have been able to convey the genuine passion of these dedicated individuals. Because the passion and devotion of the people living right here in the BCR community will stay with me forever.

Everything happens for a reason. Thank you for being my guide Bureau County; thank you for being my compass on this beautiful road called life.

Considerations by Nedda Lesser than ...

I have been reminded all my life how short I am. When I was little, I thought maybe it was a flaw, and I would worry about it. My Dad told me to decide whether this “shortness” would ruin or diminish my life, then move on with things I needed to get done and things I wanted to do.

Of course, I have some limitations, but since my family had a great sense of humor, I learned to go along and have fun with my height.

I will have to say, that when people

I find inspiration when I see other’s so limited doing great things, and you all know some yourselves.

It reminds us to not focus on what we can’t do now and look at what we have to work with to accomplish things. It can certainly remove the bitterness and sadness that comes along with feeling defeated.

Of course, we have to mourn our losing some abilities we had, but we can make the most of the situation and be grateful we have many capacities left. There is research that backs the fact if we do just that, we get better in every aspect of our lives.

TO Letter THE Editor

Honoring veterans To the Editor, Each year on June 14 we celebrate Flag Day in honor of the 1777 adoption of the American flag. The American flag represents many things to many people, including patriotism, freedom, liberty, fairness and hope.

As a veteran myself, I believe the American flag also represents sacrifice — specifically the sacrifice that our military veterans have made to ensure the United States of America remains the greatest country on earth. Our service men and women deserve our respect, appreciation and gratitude.

Nothing pleases me more than giving back to our military veterans.

That is why I am pleased to highlight a law that takes effect July 1, which will allow U.S. military veterans to obtain a driver’s license or ID card marked VETERAN. Veterans who have received an honorable or general under honorable conditions discharge qualify.

The process is simple. Veterans must first obtain official certification from the Illinois Department

Letters policy Letters to the Editor should not be more than 500 words in length. Only one person can sign a Letter to the Editor. The author of the letter must include his/ her name, hometown and telephone number. The author’s name and hometown will be published, however, the telephone number is only used to verify the authenticity of the author’s signature and will not be published.

They can do so by visiting one of the Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs offices throughout the state and providing a copy of their DD-214 or Certification of Military Service (NA Form 13038). For more information, please contact the Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs at 800-437-9824 or visit www.illinois. gov/veterans.

Once the necessary certification is obtained from an Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs office, the veteran may apply for a new, renewal or corrected driver’s license or ID card at any Secretary of State Driver Service’s facility. The driver’s license

or ID card will contain the word VETERAN printed in blue directly beneath the signature on the front of the card.

I had the honor of serving as a paratrooper in the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division and as a member of the Illinois National Guard and Reserve. There is no greater honor than serving your country, and our veterans can now proudly display their service on their driver’s license or ID card, which will help them receive the services and benefits they richly deserve.

The Milk Moustache opens doors Grand opening events on Saturday

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Sidewalk chalk drawing and face painting are some of the events planned for the grand opening of The Milk Moustache in Princeton at 944 N. Main St. Owner Mindy Fritz, who will open her store from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturday, June 13, stocks boys’ and girls’ apparel for newborns through size 14-16 along

with children’s accessories, toys, books, personalized gifts, baby gear and baby shower gifts.

Fritz said she opened this store after getting many questions at her sister store, juniper and mae, about children’s apparel.

“I had a small kids section where I made skirts, etc.,” she said. “I saw there was enough interest that there was an opening in the market for them. I bought this building in March and have renovated it.”

Sidewalk chalk drawing will be from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday while face painting will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Food will

be available for purchase, and there will be giveaways and raffles during Saturday’s grand opening.

Saturday will also mark the one-year anniversary of juniper and mae, which opened its doors June 12, 2014.

The Milk Moustache’s regular hours after Saturday’s grand opening will be from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday. The store’s phone number is 815-875-6455. More information and other pictures can also be found on the store’s Facebook page.

Rezin calls for property tax freeze SPRINGFIELD — State Sen. Sue Rezin (R-Peru) is asking Illinois lawmakers to make freezing property taxes a top priority for families and businesses.

“No matter what community I visit in the 38th Senate District, a common concern of families and businesses is, ‘Our property tax rates just keep going higher and higher, and it’s really hurting us,’” Rezin said. “Freezing property tax rates will go a long way in boosting our economy, while helping working families with some much-needed relief for their own budgets.”

Rezin said any action could include an exemption for communities where local voters approve a referendum.

According to a recent study from the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, Illinois has the second highest property taxes in the country, only behind New Jersey. Illinois was found to have 17 counties ranked in the Top 100 counties nationally for median property tax rates, including several local counties. Kendall County has a median effective property tax rate of 2.53 percent, placing it at 16th nationally. Will County’s median effective property tax rate of 2.31 percent qualifies as 33rd nationally while LaSalle County’s median effective property tax rate of 2.23 percent lands at 41st nationally.

“When a family has to pay so much of their hardearned money in property taxes – among the highest anywhere in the country – it’s no wonder people have lost faith in Illinois,” Rezin said. “But there’s a solution.

Freezing property tax rates, reforming state government and passing respon-

sibly balanced budgets all go hand in hand toward creating an environment in which our families can thrive.”

Rezin said all too often, neighboring states are attracting companies and residents when it should be Illinois where people want to move and start a business. She points to the lower property taxes in those states as one of the reasons.

According to Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, the average homeowner in Illinois had a property tax bill of $4,469 in 2012. That figure puts Illinois anywhere between 26 percent higher than Wisconsin ($3,530) and 2.7 times higher than Indiana ($1,200). Illinois’ property tax rate and Illinois’ property tax bills, are both higher than all of our neighboring states.

“Putting a cap on any tax gives companies some assurance and some certainty that Illinois is serious about keeping and recruiting business here,” said John Greuling, President and CEO of the Will County Center for Economic Development.

“Illinois can, and should, do better,” Rezin said. “I am hopeful the legislature can follow the lead of Gov. Bruce Rauner by making this issue a top priority and bring some relief to all Illinoisans, especially those in my district.”

In a recent teleforum, Rezin asked a poll question regarding property taxes.

Answering that question, 71 percent of participants support a property tax freeze.

Of that, 36 percent said to freeze property taxes statewide and 35 percent said to freeze property taxes unless voters approve an increase.

Institute offers free skin cancer screening PERU — Soderstrom Skin Institute will provide a free mole and skin cancer screening from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, June 13, at 2200 Marquette Road in Peru. No appointment is needed. Call 815-224-7400 for details.

More than 3.5 million skin cancers are diagnosed annually. Around 76,000 will be melanoma. More than 9,000 of these cases will be fatal. There is a 98 percent survival rate for patients whose melanoma is detected before it spreads. People under 30 years old that use tanning beds increase their risk of skin cancer by 75 percent. Skin cancer increased 800 percent in women 18-39 from 1970-2009. The state of Illinois banned anyone under 18 years old from being able to use tanning beds. Melanoma has been linked to tanning bed usage.

Soderstrom Skin Institute 2014 facts: Hundreds of skin cancers were found including basal cell, squamous cell and

pre-cancer actinic keratosis, with 152 patients (84 men and 68 women) diagnosed with melanoma – the most deadly form of skin cancer.

The oldest was 96 years old.

The youngest was 15 years old.

Dr. Carl Soderstrom recommends a monthly skin self exam. Remember the ABCDEs of moles/spots: A. Asymmetry – one half not like the other. B. Borders irregular – poorly defined borders. C. Color varied – difference shades of tan, brown, black, white, red or blue. D. Diameter – larger than the width of a pencil eraser. E. Evolving – changing in any way. Stinging, itching, burning or bleeding.

“This is a disease that affects all ages and all backgrounds. The earlier melanoma is detected and removed, the better a patient’s chance for survival. If you can spot it, you can stop it,” Soderstrom says.

AMBOY — The Amboy Clippers’ departure from the Three Rivers Athletic Conference has been set back one year.

Officials from the TRAC at Monday’s principals’ meeting denied Amboy’s request to leave the conference after the 2015-16 school year to join the Northwest Upstate Illini Conference. The Clippers will have to wait until after the 2016-17 school year per league by-laws which require a twoyear notice to leave the conference.

“Amboy had an opportunity to speak about their situation and moving on to the NUIC. They said they were informed (by the NUIC) they needed to be fully committed to the NUIC in 2016-2017,” BV principal/acting athletic director Eric Lawson said.

“A roll call vote was taken and a majority voted to not let them out of the two-year commitment via our constitution.”

Amboy’s request was denied by a 12-2 vote with one school abstaining, Lawson said. BV voted against Amboy’s request, Lawson said, because “it is unfair to its student-athletes for competition purposes.

“We also as a conference need time to find a suitable replacement. We are hoping a full two years gives us time,” he said.

St. Bede athletic director Tom McGunnigal also acknowledged the academy voted against Amboy’s request, citing the league constitution.

“If we don’t follow these rules, what good are they and everyone could feel they can leave whenever,” he said.

How did the Bruins get there?

Bill Booker coaches baseball the way I’d want to coach baseball.

Squeeze bunts, hit and runs, pick-off plays and hidden ball tricks.

If there’s some strategy involved, Booker’s going to use it.

He got the best out of his St. Bede Bruins baseball team and then some this spring.

Fourth-place finish at state, not too bad considering most insiders never thought the Bruins would have made it past regionals and mighty Marquette and their four Division I prospects, not to mention rival Hall

in the semifinals.

They disposed of the Red Devils 7-0 and the Crusaders 4-1 behind the arm of lefty Jarret Olson, who has fast become this generation of Bruins’ version of former Bruin and current big leaguer J.A. Happ.

Then came Beecher (9-1) and Herscher (1-0) at the Braidwood

Sectional and Westmont (7-0) at the Lisle Super-sectional.

When the dust settled after Saturday’s third-place game in Peoria, one Bruin in the dugout summed up the Bruins surprising ride, asking no one in particular, “How in the (heck) did we ever get here?”

That is a good question. They only had three hitters batting better than .300 heading into state and only one over .310, Olson at .446. By comparison, semifinal foe Rockford Christian, the 2A champion, had 10 players hitting over .300 and third place foe Teutopolis had five batters hitting well over .300.

Even senior captain Sam Halm admitted probably “half of the kids on the team didn’t expect to be here.” But, he added, “we kept playing hard, didn’t put our heads down, and just played our game.”

What the Bruins did have, if not everyone’s belief, is each other and the belief in one another.

“I think we had confidence in ourselves,” Olson said.

“Throughout this entire run we had in the postseason, we have not been the team that everybody has said, ‘Ah, St. Bede’s going to win this.’ We came out here and earned every single

Scrapbook shots from state BCR photos by Kevin Hieronymus The 2015 St. Bede Bruins brought home the fourth-place medal from the IHSA 2A State Baseball Tournament.

They are just the second Bruins team to medal at state, following the 1988 state champions. Team members include (front row, left) Collin Mitchell, Chandler Barnes, Nick Plankenhorn, Nick Szczepaniak and Zach Ansteth; (second row) Josh Sapp, Brady Booker, Nathan Bartley, Jarret Olson and Bryant Eustice; and back row) coaches Ed Mitchell and Mike Bima, Matt Szczepaniak, Sam Halm, G.W. Leynaud, Gabe Braboy, Jack Brady and coaches Jim Eustice and Bill Booker.

(Above, clockwise from lower left): St. Bede seniors Sam Halm, Gabey Braboy, G.W. Leynaud, Jack Brady and Matt Szczepaniak hoist the fourth-place state trophy after falling to Teutopolis in Saturday’s third-place contest 4-1.

The Bruins finished the season at 23-10, reaching the final four for only the second time in school history.

Hieronymus From Page 14 run, every single out and every single win. Just a heckuva bunch of guys.”

No one could have blamed Booker for having soured over the sport following his controversial departure at L-P in 2012.

Two state medal finishes over a four-year period (fourth in 2009, second in 2012) earned him a pink slip.

The Bruins reminded him what he likes best about the game. While only a few of the Bruins knew him a little from football, Booker said they bought into everything he was selling and expectations he had for them.

“I couldn’t be more proud of a group with getting back into game that I love for them to emphasize to me again what a great game this,” Booker said.

“To have these guys make it down here to represent the Illinois Valley the way we have, they should hold their heads high as well as should our community because they’ve produced a lot of good kids that we have on this baseball team.”

Other than maybe the firstplace trophy and a million bucks, Booker said he couldn’t have asked for anything more out of his first season at St. Bede.

SBA senior captain Jack Brady, for one, is sad to see it all end.

“I had the time of my life here at St. Bede,” he said. “Love wearing the green and white. Going to miss it for sure. I love everyone at St. Bede. Great people, great people to play with. I’m going to miss it.”

• No-hit trip: PHS volleyball coach Andy Puck and his wife, Gina, sure picked a grand time to take in a ballgame at Citi Field in New York. They witnessed the no-hitter thrown by rookie pitcher Chris Hesston of the visiting San Francisco Giants, who beat the Mets 5-0.

The Pucks have now seen 19 stadiums on their ongoing ballpark tour, including stops at Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park on this trip. I always say, the couples that go to baseball together, stay together.

• Oh brother: Friday’s summer league basketball Any time’s a good time to stoke up some good sibling rivalry. New coach Mike Fredericks and the Princeton Tigers will welcome the Peoria Heights Patriots, who are under the direction of first-year head coach Garrett Youngren, a former PHS cager. The Peoria Heights coach will get to do battle against his brother, Colton, who will be a PHS junior.

Their father, Les, says, it should make for some fun bragging rights from here on out between big brother and little brother.

WHEREAS, the City of Spring Valley, Bureau County, Illinois (the “City”) operates its waterworks and sewerage system (the “System”) and in accordance with the provisions of the Illinois Municipal Code (65 ILCS 5/11-139 et seq.) and the Local Government Debt Reform Act, 30 ILCS 350/1 (collectively, “the Act”), and WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Council of the City (the “Corporate Authorities”) have determined that it is advisable, necessary and in the best interests of public health, safety and welfare of the City and its residents to improve the System, including, but not limited to, the construction of a wastewater treatment plant, which will replace the plant damaged by a flood in April, 2013, together with any land or rights in land and all electrical, mechanical or other services necessary, useful or advisable to the construction and installation (the “Project”), all in accordance with the plans and specifications prepared by consulting engineers of the City; which Project has a useful life of 30 years; and WHEREAS, the estimated cost of construction and installation of the Project, including engineering, legal, financial and other related expenses is $12,000,000, and there are insufficient funds on hand and lawfully available to pay these costs; and WHEREAS, the loan shall bear an interest rate as defined by 35 Ill. Adm. Code 365, which does not exceed the maximum rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended, 30 ILCS 305/0.01 et seq., at the time of the issuance of the loan; and WHEREAS, the principal and interest payment shall be payable semi annually, and the loan shall mature in 20 years, which is within the period of useful life of the Project; and WHEREAS, the costs are expected to be paid for with a loan to the City from the Public Water Pollution Control Loan Program through the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (the “IEPA”), the loan to be repaid from the Net Revenues of the System (i.e. gross revenues minus operations and maintenance expenses) (the “Pledged Revenues”) and the loan is authorized to be accepted at this time pursuant to the Act; and WHEREAS, in accordance with the provisions of the Act, the City is authorized to borrow funds from the Water Pollution Control Loan Program in the aggregate principal amount of not to exceed

$1,500,000 to provide funds to pay for a portion of the costs of the Project; WHEREAS, the loan to the City shall be made pursuant to a Loan Agreement, including certain terms and conditions, between the City and the IEPA; NOW THEREFORE, be it ordained by the Corporate Authorities of the City of Spring Valley, Bureau County, Illinois, as follows: SECTION 1. INCORPORATION OF PREAMBLES The Corporate Authorities hereby find that the recitals contained in the preambles are true and correct, and incorporate them into this Ordinance by this reference.

SECTION 2. DETERMINATION TO BORROW FUNDS It is necessary and in the best interests of the City to construct the Project for the public health, safety and welfare, in accordance with the plans and specifications, as described; that the System continues to be operated in accordance with the provision of the Act; and that for the purpose of constructing the Project, it is hereby authorized that funds be borrowed by the City in an aggregate principal amount (which can include construction period interest financed over the term of the loan) not to exceed $1,500,000.

SECTION 3. PUBLICATION This Ordinance, together with a Notice in the statutory form (attached hereto as Exhibit A), shall be published once within ten days after passage in the Bureau County Republican, a newspaper published and of general circulation in the City, and if no petition, signed by electors numbering 10% or more of the registered voters in the City (i.e., 378) asking that the question of improving the System as provided in this Ordinance and entering into the Loan Agreement therefore be submitted to the electors of the City, is filed with the City Clerk within 30 days after the date of publication of this Ordinance and notice, then this Ordinance shall be in full force and effect. A petition form shall be provided by the City Clerk to any individual requesting one.

SECTION 4. ADDITIONAL ORDINANCES If no petition meeting the requirements of the Act and other applicable laws is filed during the 30 day petition period, then the Corporate Authorities may adopt additional ordinances or proceedings supplementing or amending this Ordinance providing for entering into the Loan Agreement with the IEPA, prescribing all the details of the Loan Agreement, and providing for the collec-

tion, segregation and distribution of the Pledged Revenues, so long as the maximum amount of the Loan Agreement as set forth in this Ordinance is not exceeded and there is no material change in the Project or purposes described herein. Any additional ordinances or proceedings shall in all instances become effective in accordance with the Act or other applicable law. This Ordinance, together with such additional ordinances or proceedings, shall constitute complete authority for entering into the Loan Agreement under applicable law.

However, notwithstanding the above, the City may not adopt additional ordinances or amendments which provide for any substantive or material change in the scope and intent of this Ordinance, including but not limited to interest rate, preference, or priority of any other ordinance with this Ordinance, parity of any other ordinance with this Ordinance, or otherwise alter or impair the obligation of the City to pay the principal and interest due to the Water Pollution Control Loan Program without the written consent of the IEPA. SECTION 5. LOAN NOT INDEBTEDNESS OF CITY Repayment of the loan to the IEPA by the City pursuant to this Ordinance is to be solely from the Pledged Revenues, and the loan does not constitute an indebtedness of the City within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation.

SECTION 8. AUTHORIZATION OF MAYOR TO EXECUTE LOAN AGREEMENT The Mayor is hereby authorized and directed to execute the Loan Agreement with the IEPA.

Thursday, June 11, 2015

Long may it wave Flag Day is celebrated on Sunday, June 14, which commemorates the adoption of the United States flag, which happened on that day in 1777, by the Second Continental Congress.

Even though the day is not an official federal holiday, the President of the United States is the one who officially proclaims the observance of this special day. The first Flag Day was made official in 1916, when President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation and made the day official. In August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an act of Congress. Pennsylvania was the first U.S. state to celebrate the day on June 14, 1937.

The flag of the United States of America has 13 horizontal stripes alternating red and white with a blue rectangle bearing 50 white, five-pointed stars. Those stars represent the 50 states, and the 13 stripes represent the 13 colonies.

Nicknames include “Stars and Stripes,” “Old Glory” and “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Since 1977, the design of the flag has been officially modified 26 times since 1777. The first American flag was made of hemp.

“We need to recognize Flag Day so younger people understand what it is all about. We have to remember Flag Day is a part of our history; we should honor our country and the veterans, even the ones who stayed home but also made the sacrifices.”

Dorothy Grafft of Princeton “My four brothers and I all served in the military all at the same time. I was a nurse. It’s important to recognize Flag Day, because it symbolizes freedom for us.”

Virginia Puyear of Wyanet

“The flag tells a story whenever I look at it. The red, white and blue all represent something. The white represents purity and innocence; the red represents bravery and valor; and the blue represents perseverance and justice.”

Helyn Wright of Princeton

Donna Grant of Princeton

“The flag is a symbol of the United States where we have the freedoms to travel anywhere in the country, and can speak for or against the policies of our elected leaders “The flag is a symbol of our country.
