Sullivan’s Foods and Spring Valley Council hears of plans to build a new grocery store

By Eric Engel news@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — The Spring Valley City Council met Monday, June 22, to discuss how to proceed with a pivotal piece of commercial property near Hall High School.

Mayor Walt Marini said that he, along with Spring Valley Eco-

nomic Development Director Debb Ladgenski and Alderman Dave Pellegrini, met on June 12 with Scott Sullivan of the Sullivan’s Foods of Savanna to discuss a piece of commercial property across from Casey’s General Store; Sullivan plans to use the property to build a supermarket. Marini said that Sullivan is still very excited to contribute to Spring Valley’s growth through the future development of his business.

“Mr. Sullivan is all for it, and he thinks we’ll see some activity this fall; and if not this fall, then next spring for sure,” said Marini, who added that a stoplight at the

intersection next to McDonald’s would help facilitate school and business traffic.

The Sullivan family has owned the property for a few years, and although little progress has been made concerning the construction of a business, Pellegrini said that it was “an overall positive meeting” and Sullivan has stuck to his word.

“Sullivan has a lot of irons in the fire,” said Pellegrini, mentioning that Sullivan is remodeling two stores and building hotels in different areas. “He’s got a lot going, but those projects are winding down, and he said that we’re on

his radar.”

Alderman Chuck Hansen called the lot “the best piece of property in Spring Valley” and he wants to make sure that if Sullivan doesn’t build on it, the city should be allowed to purchase the property back and decide its purpose.

Spring Valley city attorney Jim Andreoni said as long as Sullivan is paying taxes on the property, it is his to do with what he wants, and that it could be a substantial task for the city to come up with $100,000 or more to repurchase the property.

“Sullivan had initially agreed to build within 12 months of his ini-

tial purchase, and we don’t want to see the city’s best commercial property just sit around unused,” said Hansen, stating the city fought for years and years to get a final remediation, meaning the Illinois EPA sees no further issue preventing development, and that he wants to see it used to help Spring Valley prosper, regardless of what kind of business is built.

“Sullivan has every intention of developing it into the spot that you guys want it to be developed into, making it another commercial entity in Spring Valley and

Survey vs. referendum vs. neither BV Board members at odds with each other

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

Editor’s note: This is the first story in a two-part series on the Bureau Valley Board meeting held Tuesday, June 23.

MANLIUS — The air inside the Bureau Valley School District Board meeting was thick — charged with passion, emotion and accusations, as the board struggled with issues surrounding its quest to figure out how to best make use of the district’s buildings, while also incorporating the public’s/taxpayers’ wishes.

Leading up to Tuesday’s meeting In the past few months, the board has looked at 14 different options that would consolidate students, move them into other buildings, rearrange attendance centers and more. The board then whittled that number down to six options.

At the May board meeting, the Bureau Valley Board approved a resolution directing Superintendent Dr. Stephen Endress to prepare for the attendance of all sixth through eighth grades at the Bureau Valley High School campus, beginning in the 201617 school year. The vote was 5-2, with board members Kent Siltman and Don DeWaele casting the no votes.

Then the board voted to eliminate the concept (Option 5) of a prekindergarten through fifth grade in Walnut and another identical attendance center in Buda. The details of that option

Tiskilwa train derailment site treatment ongoing Nearby resident concerned about contamination spreading

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

TISKILWA — Remediation efforts of injecting oxidized chemicals into the groundwater to treat the contamination were started earlier this year at the site of a 2011 train derailment

just outside Tiskilwa.

Kim Biggs, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) spokeswoman, said chemicals are checked every 30 days until the objectives are met with continual, long-term monitoring of groundwater in the three-acre spill area.

Joyce Munie, manager of the

Illinois EPA Remediation Projects Management Section, said seven of the 10 wells within the spill area are definitely contaminated; treatment plans are currently underway, conducted through the Center for Toxicology and Environmental Health (CTEH) of Little Rock, Ark. Three sentry wells are designed to determine if contamination has spread from the spill area and is going off-site.

Monitoring wells inside the spill area and sentry wells off site are

checked on a quarterly basis to determine their contamination levels.

Drill rigs and other treatment equipment have been brought in this year to clean-up the chemicals in the groundwater by pumping other chemicals into the groundwater that are designed to break down the contaminated chemicals into non-toxic elements.

When two worlds unite ...

An international love story

and their relationship grew quickly. A month after they started dating, Melissa’s parents, Cal and Carol Zehr of Tiskilwa, traveled to Africa to visit their daughter and were able to meet their future son-in-law.

Melissa and Johnny became engaged in

November 2014, and the wedding plans began. Her mother, Carol, was instrumental in making many of the plans.

“Planning the wedding internationally wasn’t a huge challenge, since we could email back and forth,” Melissa said.

In April, Melissa returned to the States when her service work was finished.

Johnny followed her at the end of May when his teaching term was over. In the past few weeks, they have been finalizing plans for their June 27 wedding which will be held at Wil-

low Springs Church in rural Tiskilwa, where her father, Cal, is the pastor.

A bridal shower was held in their honor recently, and guests were asked to submit cards with written sentiments, Bible verses, sage advice and recipes in lieu of household gifts,

since they will be returning to Nairobi where they have both taken teaching positions at Rosslyn University, a college which has more than 700 students embracing 52 nationalities and a variety of faiths. They will live in campus housing, designed for the teachers.

In the weeks before their big day, they have been traveling and doing speaking engagements, reflecting on their time in Africa and how they have impacted and been impacted by the work they have done.

Melissa has gained a deeper appreciation for life and does not take anything for granted anymore, like tap water, electricity and something as simple as sidewalks. She helped work with Peace Clubs where social and economical issues were discussed, and she also taught English for six months. She has learned to “go with the flow” of life and embraces her individuality now instead of being bothered by it.

Johnny is a charming speaker and brings vitality and humor to their presentations. They have spoken locally and also places like Goshen, Ind. “I am very happy for them, and I know they will impact a lot of people’s lives when they return to Kenya,” Cal said.

One of the Bible verses that helped Melissa get through her uncertainty in the beginning of her journey was, 2 Corinthians 4:18 “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

On June 27, Melissa and Johnny will begin their journey toward the eternal.

take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 27, at various businesses around town, so residents and visitors can experience what Spring Valley has to offer.

“Spring Valley is developing a niche climate of outdoor recreation, and we’re pleased to showcase

what’s available through the Outdoor Expo,” said Ladgenski, mentioning there are many naturebased indoor and outdoor businesses that not only appeal to the customer but advances the community in the process, and that any volunteers available

will be welcomed with open arms on Saturday.

“The city relies on sales tax to grow, so naturally we rely on our residents and those visiting the city to be a part of that.”

The council went into a closed session to discuss variance on height restric-

tions on a Spring Valley land development code, and the options regarding litigation for resident Greg Pinter. Marini said Pinter’s garage burned down, and when he initially rebuilt it, Pinter added a second story to the garage without getting a building

permit, but when told to stop he did. Marini added that Pinter was unaware he needed a new permit because he was building on the same footing where his previous garage had stood.

TISKILWA — Their love story isn’t typical. It started in August 2013. Melissa Zehr, a small town girl from Tiskilwa and pastor’s daughter, felt the desire to enter the mission field, so she took an assignment in Kenya.

At about the same time, Johnny Kimani was returning to the land where he grew up, after doing his undergraduate work and studying for his master’s degree here in the United States.

Melissa’s first few months in Africa were fraught with fear and uncertainty. There was political unrest in her area, and she was near to where a shopping mall was terrorized, as well as a university.

Her time there made her feel different because she stood out, even while in a crowd. People pointed and laughed at the tall, slim white girl who walked their streets. She wanted to go home.

But she didn’t — and that decision helped shape the direction of her future.

In February of 2014, she went to a soccer game.

There she saw a handsome young soccer coach. After she got his number, her view of Kenya got a little bit brighter. She texted him to find out if there were any soccer clubs she could join in the area and eventually met him for coffee.

That man, Johnny Kimani, 28, orphaned at a young age and raised by missionary parents, was teaching at Rosslyn University,

Field Day for ‘hams’ is this weekend HENNEPIN — Every year whole regions find themselves unable to communicate in an emergency despite the Internet, cell phones, email and modern communications. Tornadoes, fires, storms, ice and even the occasional cutting of fiber optic cables leave people without the means to communicate. In these cases, the one consistent service that has never failed has been amateur radio.

The area “hams” organization is the Illinois Valley Radio Association. It will join with thousands of other amateur radio operators across the nation showing their emergency communication capabilities on Saturday and Sunday, June 27-28. The public is invited to attend the event which will begin at 1 p.m. on Saturday and run continually through Sunday at 1 p.m.

This annual event, called Field Day, is the climax of the week-long Amateur Radio Week sponsored by the ARRL, which is the national association for amateur radio. Using only emergency power supplies, the ham operators will construct emergency stations in parks, shopping malls, schools and backyards around the country.

More than 35,000 amateur radio operators across the country participated in last year’s event.

Utilizing the ARRL’s Amateur Radio Emergency Services program, ham volunteers provide emergency communications for thousands of state and local emergency response agencies and non-emergency community services.

This service is provided at no charge.

The IVRA Radio Club meets monthly at the Hennepin Village Hall on the first Tuesday at 7 p.m.

To learn more about Amateur Radio, go to www. emergency-radio.org.

Tornado touches down in Sublette; Sterling mall loses its roof

By Kathleen A. Schultz Shaw Media Service

STERLING — All hell broke loose again Monday, exactly one week after the last big storm swept through the Sauk Valley.

A trained weather spotter sighted a tornado touching down at 8:07 p.m. at Woodhaven Lakes in Sublette in Lee County, the National Weather Service said.

At 10 p.m., Lee County Sheriff’s deputies, Sheriff John Simonton, area firefighters and other emergency workers from 10 agencies were in Woodhaven, searching for any injured.

There was much flooding, and many trees down, some that fell on association homes. At the time, no injured had been found, but there were reports of injuries coming in, Simonton said.

Woodhaven is a private camping resort at 507 LaMoille Road, three miles west of U.S. Route 52, with hundreds of lots.

Around 10:45 p.m., the Woodhaven Association posted on its Facebook page that the National Weather Service had not determined the strength of the twister. It asked people to refrain from calling or coming out to the campground to help, “to allow emergency workers full access to phones and roads.”

“Thanks for your understanding and patience.

We will try to keep you as informed as possible as we continue to assess damages.”

Workers were scrambling to remove the downed trees, to find the injured and make way for ambulances, and also were going door to door, checking on residents.

More flooding was reported in the area.

“Basically, everything south of (U.S. Route) 30 got hit,” Simonton said.

The National Weather Service also had a report

The roof over Dunham’s Sports at Northland Mall in Sterling rests in pieces Monday evening after a nasty storm ripped through Whiteside County. of a barn in Sublette being blown to the ground.

The storm, which billowed in from Morrison, toppled trees and broke branches all along its path.

In Sterling, winds ripped part of the roof off Northland Mall, 2900 E. Lincolnway, over the new Dunham’s Sports store, open only since October.

A back wall crumbled.

No one was hurt, but among other precautions, police officers had to secure the store’s firearms.

Because of the damage, the mall will be closed until further notice, and people are advised to steer clear – the Sterling Police and Whiteside County Sheriff’s Department Mounted Patrol will be on site, arresting trespassers, Sterling PD said in a latenight news release.

At the time the storm hit, there were six people left in Dunham’s – four employees, including 19-year-old Drew Sauer of Rock Falls, and two customers. They went to the golf simulator room in the southwest corner of the

store to stay safe, Sauer said.

They could hear the rain pounding, and the hail, then came that telltale sound – like a freight train barreling down.

All of a sudden, “the roof started to lift up, the lights started to swing, and tons of water came pouring in,” Sauer said.

After everyone had been evacuated, he ran to the break room at the back of the store to retrieve keys — his and his coworkers’.

“That’s when I actually was able to take everything in and see all the damage that had been done,” Sauer said in a text.

“Coolers were floating down the walkways.

I saw burst pipes with water pouring out of them flooding the store.

The water was up to my ankles at that point. I was also worried because I saw wires hanging from the ceiling, merchandise everywhere … but then I looked towards the back [where the exercise equipment was sold] and saw that the wall was gone, and I could see the lightning and trees.”

Dominick Coronado, 36, and his 15-year-old daughter, Sonrisa, were shopping at Dunham’s for football equipment for his son. When the storm warnings hit, everyone inside was told to take cover, “and people were starting to freak out,” Sonrisa said. “I was afraid.”

The Coronados and some other mall shoppers fled to the bathrooms for safety, but Dominick and a few other people decided to poke their heads outside the mall to see what was going on. He saw the storm cell coming, and at that moment, he, too, heard the freight train.

In an instant, the roof was gone, and the building was filling with water and that awful electrical smell, he said. Wires were sparking. Worried for Sonrisa’s safety, he waited about 15 minutes for the worst to pass, then they took off for their car.

“It was crazy,” he said.

The storm then headed for Dixon, where nearly 3 inches of rain drenched the town in 30 minutes, the National Weather Ser-

vice in Chicago reported.

At 8:19, the service reported zero visibility and 60 mph gusts on state Route 251 on the Lee-LaSalle County Line.

During the heaviest rainfall in Sterling, around 7:30 p.m., West LeFevre Road was under water, as was Lynn Boulevard in front of Thomas Park. The recently pumped pond, drained so that dredge work could be done, was overflowing its banks.

Ditches became ponds, cornfields small lakes.

Winds were clocked at around 70 mph at state Route 40 and U.S. Route 30 in Rock Falls around 7:15 p.m. Fifteen minutes later, rain fell hard. Rock Falls was doused with 3.4 inches from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m., Sterling 3.1 inches over the same period.

Another roof, this one on a building in Harmon, also was blown away, the Weather Service reported.

Power was out to nearly 1,300 ComEd customers; the company estimated it will be restored by around 6 p.m.

The equipment was brought in this year because it was determined that there was a need to be more aggressive in treating the contaminated groundwater in the spill area, added Munie.

TISKILWA — On Oct. 7, 2011, at 2:14 a.m., 26 cars in an eastbound Iowa Interstate Railroad train derailed just outside Tiskilwa.

Ten of the cars contained ethanol, which was released from the damaged tank cars. Property damage was estimated at $1.6 million, according to the National Transportation Safety Board’s report issued in 2013.

The board determined the probable cause of the accident was a broken rail.

About 97,000 gallons of ethanol was recovered during cleanup efforts, representing 37 percent of the original 259,000 gallons from the nine damaged tank cars.

All the options hinged on having the sixth through eighth grades connected to the high school campus in Manlius.

Also at the May meeting, the board directed Endress to meet with a canvassing committee and bring their recommendations to the board at the June meeting.

A former board member, Elliott has long participated in the district in many venues. Most recently, he was asked to serve on that canvassing committee with 13 other handpicked district residents to come up with a survey that would ultimately be sent to households in the district, attempting to learn residents’ wishes about where and how the district should proceed and if the public would support various scenarios including a referendum.

Elliott spoke to the board about how the committee had worked diligently to come up with a survey to be sent to the public, however, once that document was presented to Endress, the entire document was changed and did not reflect the commit-

“Bureau Valley taxpayers should have a say in this,” Elliott said, adding he has heard several times the board “has the authority to do this without a referendum ...

“I’ve studied the district’s finances, and they are in poor shape,” Elliott said. “As a board, you need to know you’re going to need every bit (of any operational fund savings) to keep going.”

Elliott also said he expects the district’s equalized assessed valuation to start dropping. That coupled with decreases from state funding would only add to the financial crunch.

Elliott said he, along with other canvassing committee members, were disappointed in the process that was taken

by Endress. He said the information the committee gave did not reflect the information or comments Endress relayed to the board.

In his closing remarks to the board, he said, “Generally, government entities don’t trust the public anymore and vice versa.” He then referred to the original creation of the Bureau Valley District and called the board members from all the districts that eventually came together the “unsung heroes” of the endeavor because they ultimately “trusted the public.” He urged this board to do the same.

Saving the pollinators You can help in your own backyard

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Last week, many joined in to help spread awareness of Pollinator Week and all it represents.

While there is only one week dedicated to bringing awareness to the pollinator issues around the country, there are those whose efforts year-round are applauded who work to reverse and prevent pollinator declines caused by loss of habitat, disease, pesticides, parasites and other interconnected assaults on pollinator populations.

Ellen Starr is an area biologist with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and serves 38 counties in Northern Illinois.

She confirmed populations of native pollinators are decreasing at an alarming pace. Pollinators include bees, bats, butterflies and hummingbirds.

There are a number of factors behind the decline in population including lack of habitat and lack of awareness that pollinators are imperial.

Urbanization, expansion of population, the

growing size of agricultural land and new farming practices including the use of insecticides have also been linked to the decline.

“Insecticides are hard on the insects. Certain types of insecticides that have been developed lately are very toxic to the bees,” Starr said.

“Crops have also eliminated weeds, especially the milkweeds, which are beneficial for the insects, especially Monarchs and their larvae which feed strictly on milkweed.”

Starr explained it’s important to recognize the issues because every one in three bites of food and drink consumed is a result of a flower being pollinated by insects.

“That most important part of our diet is by pollination of insects — which would be fruits and vegetables,” she said.

Starr said honey bees are losing 30 percent of their hives each year.

Many bees are not returning to their hives, which is called Colony Collapse Disorder. The reason behind this issue is unknown, but many are considering pesticides, fungus, malnutrition and other pathogens are what may be to blame.

Bumble bees, which were once very common, even in agricultural areas are now almost nonexistent, according to Starr.

What can we do to help?

Starr said helping the pollinators is as simple as planting native flowers.

Whether it be in a window box or in a garden — every little bit can help.

“Habitat is something we have control over. We don’t have control over the chemical companies and farming practices, but we have a yard — we can help,” she said.

Those interested can visit pollinators.org and type in a zip code to find out what the native plants are for the area. Starr has also developed a brochure that can be picked up at the Princeton Public Library that lists important native flowering plants.

“The plants on the list have a lot of sugar in the nectar, so they are really attractive to bees; and they are able to get more food than they would on other types of flowers,” she said.

There are plants for all types of soils — whether the soil is moist, dry or wet.

The plants produce flowers that last from spring to fall.

Starr was also the driving force behind the new pollinator garden in front of the library, on the corner of Sixth and Peru streets.

The garden was put together in spring 2014 by several volunteers consisting of master gardeners, USDA employees and others who like to garden.

The garden was designed by a NRCS landscape and architect and includes 710 plants comprised of 28 different species.

Starr is currently looking for volunteers and donations to help upkeep of the garden.

She’s seeking stewards of the garden, who could help with responsibilities like weeding.

Starr said there is no need to have experience with gardening, just an interest in the project.

Donations would also be appreciated to help with needed supplies to keep the garden maintained.

Those interested may call the NRCS office at 815-875-8732, ext. 3. Ask to talk with either Kevin or Maryann; or dial ext. 117 to speak with Starr.

Toughing it out A few weeks ago I wrote about my attempt to begin running after having spent decades avoiding that very sport whenever I could. I’m happy to say I didn’t give up, and I ran my first race — the four-mile Steamboat in Peoria on June 20.

I didn’t know what to expect heading to the race that morning. I woke up at 4 a.m., something I’ve rarely done voluntarily. At that point, I was so tired I thought I was crazy for even signing up for the race.

Plus, the most I had run during my training was 3.3 miles, and that had only happened COMMENTARY once.

I hadn’t paid attention to the route, which didn’t concern me until my brother who was running the 15K that began at the same time as my race, kept repeatedly trying to drill the route into my head during the drive to Peoria. I never really anticipated I might not understand which direction to go. I figured I would just go with the crowd, but if I had accidentally taken the 15K route, it would have ended in disaster.

There were the other things I should have known that I didn’t. Luckily, my brother is a lifelong runner. He warned me not to fold my bib, which could destroy my chances at having my time tracked, and he gave me safety pins to fasten it to my shirt.

He also gave me a strategy for getting through the race — start off slow the first two miles, slower than you think you can go, then pick up the pace slightly in the third mile and use the fourth mile to pass runners directly in front of you. Concentrate on them one at a time, and then worry about the next one.

With that advice in mind, I planted myself firmly between the 12- and 13-minute per mile pace groups already congregating at the starting line. I was standing elbow to elbow with a wide variety of people — senior citizens and children, but also some people who were definitely younger and fitter than I was.

I did a few stretches to warm up and was mildly alarmed to see others doing warm-up jogs — I told my brother when he encouraged me to do a warmup run that I needed to save every step for the race if I wanted to finish. I was definitely concerned I wouldn’t be able to run the full four miles. Standing at the start line, I felt like an imposter, like the octogenarian standing next to me was going to yell out, “You’re not a runner. Get out of here!”

When the race began, I was mainly worried about not being trampled because we were packed in so tightly. After a few minutes, the crowd began to thin, and I began to pass some of the people in front of me.

I found two women who were also running the four-mile race and appeared to be going just slightly faster than I normally would. I decided to stick with them, so I wouldn’t get lost. Fear, it turns out, really is a great motivator. My fear of veering off the course caused me to almost effortlessly follow them all the way to the finish line. I didn’t walk one single step — I ran the whole way. The last 20 seconds or so, I even made a hard push, passing by a few people before crossing the line.

Once I calmed down and realized I didn’t need an oxygen mask or any other help from the paramedics on hand, I grabbed a bottle of water and walked back to the finish line to cheer on my brother when he finished his 15K. We had a great time at the after-race celebration.

That afternoon, they posted the official race results.

I was pleased to see my time was 46:06, well under the 50-minute goal I had set. Overall, I placed 1,881 out of 2,433 runners. Out of the women in my age category, I placed 66 out of 121 runners. Not bad for my first race. I’m already thinking hard about what my goal for next year’s race will be.

I’m never going to be a great runner. I’ll leave that honor to the man who finished that four-mile race in just over 18 minutes. But before my first race, I never understood why people entered races they knew they were going to lose. It seemed like setting yourself up to fail to me. Now, I see my biggest competitor is myself — I just want to be the best me I can be.

Condolences to the Bidens; join the fight vs. cancer Cancer has claimed the life of Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Beau. We offer our condolences to the Biden family. We encourage area residents to fight cancer by participating in and contributing to annual area Relay for Life fundraisers The death of Vice President Joe Biden’s son of brain cancer is a stark reminder the disease plays no favorites.

Joseph R. “Beau” Biden III, 46, who most recently had served two terms as attorney general of Delaware, died recently, less than two years after he was diagnosed.

As the son of the vice president, Beau Biden was in the midst of a successful political career, and he also served his country overseas in the National Guard. He planned to run for Delaware governor in 2016.

However, cancer didn’t care that he was the son of America’s No. 2 leader or that he might be elected to higher office.

Beau Biden’s death saddened Illinois leaders.

Attorney General Lisa Madigan said: “Beau always stood up for what he believed in on behalf of the people of his state and for our country.

Not only was he an exemplary colleague and public servant, he was a terrific person.”

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said: “From serving our country in Iraq to serving his beloved home of Delaware as attorney general, Beau Biden dedicated his life to a cause greater than himself. He will be deeply missed but remembered lovingly for lives he touched.”

President Barack Obama said, “Michelle and I humbly pray for the good Lord to watch over Beau Biden, and to protect and comfort his family here on Earth.”

We also offer our condolences to the Biden family. No father should ever have to bury a son, but for all too many people, cancer forces that

cruel reality.

The only way to beat cancer is to fight back.

People can start making a difference right away by participating in Relay for Life fundraisers for the American Cancer Society.

Relay for Life of LaSalle County took place Friday, June 12, at Streator High School.

Relay for Life of Putnam-Marshall counties took place Saturday, June 13, at Henry-Senachwine High School.

The Bureau County Relay for Life begins at 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 7, at Zearing Park, Princeton.

Cancer is a ruthless, relentless foe whose victims range from the nondescript to the distinguished.

Money is the ammunition needed for research and education. Keep researchers supplied with “ammo” by donating to the American Cancer Society.

TO Letter THE Editor

Attention Bureau Valley residents: ‘Speak up’ To the Editor, There were a group of several friends. All of them hosted barbecues and game nights at their homes. They were all about to make their final mortgage payments.

Some couples were looking forward to taking that dream vacation they couldn’t afford before. Others were looking forward to finally contributing to a college fund. One couple wanted a huge addition for a game room, swimming pool, etc. They stated everyone should help pay for this because they all would get the benefit of using it. Now what if I told you one couple made the decision that everyone had no choice but to pay for this because they knew what was best for everyone else.

I know you’re thinking this couldn’t happen. But it did! Every taxpayer in Bureau Valley School District was just told they are paying for new buildings in excess of $17,000,000 because of actions taken at the May board meeting. No referendum required! (This is without interest added by the way. How much does the interest cost in your mortgage? Now think about a loan in the millions!)

I guess replacing the 20-year-old books, dated technology/computers, maintenance needed on even our newest high school building doesn’t get paid for from new financial freedom that should come with paying our high school off. Can we even call the proposals given “options,” if the public had no vote in which direction was taken?

To be fair, only $7 million (was $4.7 million 30 days ago) will be spent on a junior high addition immediately without referendum needed. But this decision requires construction of a new building in the south somewhere. That will force a referendum at that time. This is assuming we can pass a referendum, otherwise our kindergarten through fifth-grade children will be taken away and placed into another addition of the high school with no referendum required.

A proposal was made by one board member that would essentially give new construction classrooms to all students in Buda utilizing the existing gym and cafeteria. The cost wouldn’t be any higher than the proposed junior high addition but would get ALL the students into nice, new, handicapped-accessible

First Amendment “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

Constitution of the United States, 1789

classrooms. Not just sixth- through eighth-graders. This would fix the immediate problem for ALL and eliminate the need to build a costly K-5 in the south in the near future.

If as a district, we did decide we wanted the junior high in Manlius, we could still build the addition on the high school at that time, using the newer Buda building for South K-5. But if the district is suffering financially or decides we don’t need a centralized junior high, we wouldn’t be forced into that decision.

Other than being proposed in one board meeting, this idea has never been brought to the public by the board or administration for feedback. If you agree a project this size should have public input by referendum, please call all the board members and let them know. Better yet, go to the board meetings and speak up. Please.

Funding crisis continues for Soil and Water Conservation Districts To the Editor, Nearly $7.5 million Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) funding for Fiscal Year 2016 has been named in the governor’s latest budget cuts and will be “suspended” July 1, 2015, if a balanced budget cannot be reached by the General Assembly.

The suspension of funds accounts for district operations and cost-share project appropriations. If the suspension is not lifted, SWCDs around the state will be forced to dismantle their work force and offices will close.

As of April 7, only $4.7 million had been released to fund the operations of soil and water conservation districts for FY 2015. SWCDs are currently operating on a reduction of funds that constitutes about $33,900 total for 97 districts, plus health insurance premiums.

SWCDs were established during the Dust Bowl Era to combat the soil erosion taking place — they continue to provide valuable services to the community by working closely with several federal, state and other non-governmental organizations.

The district serves as a point of contact to landowners wishing to address resource concerns on their property and assists in delivering programs that prevent erosion from urban development and of tillable soil that threaten our agricultural economy and the sustainability of our surface water supplies.

In addition to providing technical service and information regarding federal and state conservation programs, district staff also provide services to the general public. Many of the services and events throughout the year include providing tree seedlings to area students to be planted for Arbor Day, hosting Ag Discovery Day for county students, holding annual poster and photo contests, holding native tree and fish sales, hosting various educational workshops, participating in community events and much more.

Each SWCD office is responsible for bringing state and federal agency funding to both rural and urban citizens in Illinois. Unlike most state-funded agencies, SWCDs return to the local economy an average of $23.57 for every $1 spent for their operation. SWCD programs are capable of adding more than $400 million to the state’s economy every year, but if SWCDs are forced to close due to a lack of funding, the valuable services they provide to the residents of Illinois will disappear completely.

Agriculture and urban and rural conservation are all part of the future. We are all taught that we have a responsibility to protect our natural resources. Help SWCDs receive the fiscal year 2016 funding, so they may continue to promote conservation and protect the land in Illinois.

Encourage your legislators to work together to pass a balanced budget.

Kelly Thompson, executive director, AISWCD Springfield

This house at 24 N. Euclid Ave. in Princeton was demolished earlier this year after city personnel weren’t able to come to an agreement with the owner to comply with the city’s property maintenance codes.

Princeton pursuing dilapidated homes Two houses demolished; two others being pursued

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Two dilapidated houses in Princeton have been recently demolished, and city personnel are pursuing the demolition of two more vacant single-family homes.

“The city (of Princeton) takes property maintenance seriously and makes its best effort to work with owners of dilapidated properties to get them into compliance,” said Brian Gift, Princeton’s director of planning. “The owners are afforded the opportu-

nity to repair or demolish non-compliant structures on their own and are given ample time to do so. However, in instances where the owner will not cooperate in the repair process, or the building is beyond repair, the city will proceed with legal action to obtain a court order to repair or demolish the structure.”

Houses at 24 N. Euclid Ave. and 326 N. Randolph St. were demolished earlier this year. Gift added there are three to four other abandoned homes in town that are in various stages of disrepair.

“The structures have

been let go over the years,” added Gift. “This year, the city budgeted for additional monies to cover demolition costs for homes that are either abandoned or in such a state of disrepair that they can’t be repaired.”

After the city demolishes a house, a lien will be put on the property for all expanses. The property will then be foreclosed and sold to reimburse the city for those demolition expenses.

“While we strive to make every effort to work with property owners, property maintenance codes will be enforced, and legal action will be taken if there is continued non-compliance,” added Gift.

HENRY — After illness or surgery, millions of patients require rehabilitation between hospital and home. In 2014, HCR ManorCare centers (parent company to Heartland Health Care Center - Henry), provided nearly 162,000 rehabilitation stays with more than 90 percent of those patients returning home after completing rehab. Heartland Health Care Center Henry treats patients with hospital-level acuity and medically complex conditions, such as strokes, joint replacements and cardiac recovery as they transition from hospital to home. According to Susan M. Legner, administrator at Heartland in Henry, “Getting patients back to their lives is the goal, and by taking advantage of our skilled nursing and therapy, we get them one step closer to their goal.”

Whether a patient is recovering from surgery, illness or injury, Heartland of Henry works with the patient, family members and physicians to create

individualized care plans that recognize the unique needs of each patient.

“While a few stairs to get in and out of the house may not seem like a lot, to a patient who just had knee surgery those steps could be the difference between going to a follow-up appointment at the doctor or staying home,” said Katie Lowery, director of rehabilitation at Heartland of Henry.

“By spending a few weeks working on strength, stamina and confidence, patients return home able to manage their care and less likely to return to the hospital.”

The combined efforts of the therapy, rehabilitative nursing, dietary and social services departments provide guidance, family support and the encouragement needed for patients to return to their independent lifestyles. “If a patient lives alone or has minimal support at home, we want to make sure they can stand long enough to prepare their meal, pick up a bag of groceries or carry

a load of laundry without falling, typical things we take for granted until we are suddenly unable to do them,” said Lowery.

“Our therapy gym is bustling with activity daily, with patients working on regaining strength, stamina and the skills they need to return home.”

Heartland Health Care Center - Henry, located at 1650 Indian Town Road, is part of the HCR ManorCare family. The HCR ManorCare health care family comprises centers that are leading providers of short-term post-acute services. With 60,000 caregivers nationwide, the HCR ManorCare centers are preeminent care providers in their communities. These locations operate primarily under the respected Heartland and ManorCare Health Services names. Our skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers provide post-hospital care for patients transitioning from hospital to home. Our clinical teams have the demonstrated track record and commitment to impact the success of patients needing this level of post-acute care so they can return home to a meaningful lifestyle.

IMA awards $25,000 in scholarship funds to IVCC OGLESBY — The Illinois Manufacturers’ Association (IMA) Education Foundation recently awarded Illinois Valley Community College $25,000 in scholarship funds for meeting a series of standards and performing at a high level of active engagement to foster greater educational opportunities in manufacturing.

IVCC is the first of six institutions across Illinois to receive scholarship funding from the IMA Education Foundation this summer.

In early 2012, IVCC began construction of a technology center so students could be well positioned to move into high-paying manufacturing jobs available in the district and across the nation.

In late 2013, IVCC opened the Peter Miller Community Technology Center, an 80,000-squarefoot facility housing career and technical programs for the manufacturing industry.

“IVCC has a great reputation for always responding to the needs of the communities we serve with high quality programs and services,” said IVCC President Jerry Corcoran.

“Now, with the backing of the IMA and our local chief manufacturing exec-

financial concerns of manufacturing students and allow them to focus on their education and training.”

Among the objectives of the foundation is to provide scholarship opportunities for deserving students following a pathway of study to a manufacturing career.

Community colleges receiving funding must demonstrate active engagement with the manufacturing community by demonstrating their commitment to manufacturing and technology education and training.

“IVCC students have the potential to ensure our state will continue to build a strong pipeline for the workforce and fill the skills gap facing industry,” said Greg Baise, IMA President and CEO. “We hope to continue broadening participation and working with these institutions to increase success across the board for students pursuing manufacturing opportunities.”

The IMA Education Foundation Board is providing contributions to six schools for the 201516 academic year and will make a second round of contributions in 201617 to offer incentives to under-performing schools to improve.

The event raised $20,677 last year and more than $658,000 over the past 32 years.

This year’s goal is $22,000. The proceeds will benefit the Esophageal and Colon Cancer Center at St. Margaret’s Hospital in Spring Valley.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE The Village of Cherry will hold a public hearing on July 6, 2015, at 7:00 p.m., at the Cherry Village Hall, 105 South Main Street, Cherry, IL to provide interested parties an opportunity to express their views on the proposed federal funded Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project. Persons with disabilities or non-English speaking persons who wish to attend the public hearing and need assistance should contact the North Central Illinois Council of Governments (NCICG), 613 West Marquette Street, Ottawa, IL 61350, 815-433-5830 no later than July 2, 2015. Every effort will be made to make reasonable accommodations for these persons.

On or about July 8, 2015, the Village of Cherry intends to apply to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity for a grant from the State CDBG program.

This program is funded

by Title I of the federal Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. These funds will be used for a community development project that includes water main and fire hydrant improvements. The total amount of CDBG funds to be requested is $450,000.

The amount of CDBG funds proposed to be used for activities that will benefit low-and moderate-income persons is $369,990. The Village of Cherry also proposes to expend $150,000 in non-CDBG funds on the project.

These non-CDBG funds will be derived from a bank loan.

Information related to the project will be available for review prior to the public hearing as of July 2, 2015 at the NCICG offices between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

Interested citizens are invited to provide comments either at the public hearing or by prior written statement.

Written comments should be submitted to NCICG no later than July 5, 2015 in order to

ensure placement in the official record of the public hearing proceedings. A plan to minimize displacement and provide assistance to those displaced has been prepared by the Village of Cherry and is also available to the public.

This project will result in no displacement of any persons or businesses. For additional information concerning the proposed project, please contact NCICG at the above address or phone.
