Appraiser reprimanded in local lawsuit Appraiser Mark Pomykacz fined $10,000

By Shannon Serpette news@bcrnews.com

New Jersey real estate appraiser Mark Pomykacz was recently reprimanded and fined

by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation for an appraisal he prepared of the Marquis Energy ethanol production plant in Hennepin. That appraisal, paid for by Illinois Valley Community College, was heatedly disputed by Marquis Energy CEO Mark Marquis during a lawsuit which was filed in April 2011

by IVCC against Putnam County, Putnam County Clerk Dan

Kuhn, Putnam County Treasurer Kevin Kunkel and Marquis Energy LLC. The lawsuit, which cost Putnam County more than $250,000 and IVCC in the neighborhood of $700,000, was officially over on April 16, after an agreed dismissal was approved in court, allowing IVCC to voluntarily dismiss its own lawsuit.

“In the lawsuit, IVCC asserted the Marquis Energy LLC etha-

abatement was proper,” a press release issued by the Putnam County State’s Attorney’s Office on May 15 stated.

Pomykacz was reprimanded and fined $10,000 by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation on June 2 for violating Illinois law on real estate appraisals, a press release issued June 29 by

nol plant wrongfully received a real estate tax abatement and requested reimbursement of the tax dollars that were allegedly lost.

The abatement was based on a resolution adopted by IVCC to participate in the Bureau Putnam County Enterprise Zone.

Putnam County, county clerk Dan Kuhn and county treasurer Kevin Kunkel have maintained throughout the proceedings the

Koehler is St. Louis’ new principal ‘There is a great sense of responsibility of not only having a good day but a good future ...’

By Eric Engel news@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — With 35 years of administrative experience under his belt and a great passion for the Catholic faith, Richard Koehler is a welcome

addition as the new principal at St. Louis Catholic School in Princeton.

Koehler retired from the public school systems in May 2013 after teaching and coaching at Earlville High School, Metamora High School and spending 23 years at LaSalle-Peru High

School. His recent professional acquisition was not by design, but after gaining interest in the position and interacting with the Diocese and faculty at St. Louis Catholic School, Koehler knew it was the right position for all parties involved.

“I ended up coming over here and really liked it,” said Koehler, who heartily acknowledged former Principal Mary Paula Schmitt, who served for more

than two decades as the architect for the strong educational foundation at St. Louis. “If we develop areas in the future, she will be the real genesis of it.”

Koehler said because of economic challenges and recent declines in enrollment, the Diocese is going into a big marketing campaign for all of its schools. St. Louis is ahead of the

‘Thank you for doing business in Ladd, Illinois’ Jim Piacenti releases third book on Ladd

By Zachary J. Pratt news@bcrnews.com

LADD — A local man has released a book detailing the history of businesses in Ladd.

Jim Piacenti of Ladd released his new book “Thank You for Doing Business in Ladd, Illinois!” this past June. In it, he looks into the histories of the businesses which have taken residence in Ladd throughout the village’s history.

Piacenti collected information on all the businesses from Ladd from when it started, but the stories have a deeper aspect. Piacenti wrote the book after he became interested in the story behind the businesses and the people who started them.

“It’s about the families that started these businesses and what they went through,” Piacenti said.

While Piacenti was surprised at the number of businesses he found through his research, it was the stories of the families behind the businesses that struck him most, especially considering the hardships they went through.

In regard to these difficulties, Piacenti singled out the Spanish influenza of 1918 as an example of what the families had to endure. He connected the incident to one aspect of the stories his research brought forth.

“Some of those stories were of practically entire families being wiped out,” he said.

Piacenti’s fascination with the village and its history stems from his own connection to the location. He has spent his whole life living in Ladd, as has his wife.

Appraiser From Page 1 Marquis Energy LLC stated.

“The order cites more than 20 errors and omissions made by Mr. Pomykacz in his preparation of a misleading appraisal of the Marquis Energy ethanol production plant in Hennepin, Illinois,” the Marquis Energy press release stated. “The order came out of a complaint that was filed by the department

against Mr. Pomykacz for errors and omissions in his appraisal of the Marquis Energy property.

A two-day hearing was held on the complaint last November.”

When contacted for this story, both IVCC and Pomykacz declined to comment.

Throughout the lawsuit, Mark Marquis was vocal in his belief the lawsuit had no merit and that Marquis Energy had been incorrectly appraised by Pomykacz.

“Illinois Valley Com-

munity College paid Mr. Pomykacz $25,000 to appraise the Marquis Energy property, a fee which is almost twice that charged by Illinois appraisers. Mr. Pomykacz appraised the Marquis Energy property at almost double the national average for similar ethanol plants,” the Marquis Energy press release stated.

“Mr. Pomykacz did his appraisal without ever coming to Hennepin to view the Marquis Energy property.”

Mautino warns of new phone scam

Jim Piacenti “I’m a life-long resident,” Piacenti said.

His own family’s part in Ladd’s history goes back further. His grandparents on both sides came from Italy and settled in Ladd. Piacenti’s grandfather on his mother’s side came over in the early years of the village at the age of 12 and worked in the Ladd mine.

Because of his interest in Ladd’s history, Piacenti has already released two books. His first, “Greetings From Ladd, Illinois – May Sunny Days Be Yours Always,” released in 2009. While researching information on the Ladd mine for his second book, he ran across information regarding other mines in the area. “The Promise of a Better Life – The Coal Mines of Eastern Bureau County, Illinois” released in 2011.

However, he began researching for his most

recent book shortly after his first.

“It’s probably been over five and a half years,” Piacenti said.

“Thank You for Doing Business in Ladd, Illinois!” is available for purchase at the Ladd Village Clerk’s Office and the Hy-Vee in Peru. It will also be at the museum during Ladd’s 125th Anniversary Celebration.

Its list price is $22.95.

SPRING VALLEY — As part of his continuing efforts to help protect taxpayers from con artists and fraud, state Rep. Frank Mautino is warning residents of a new scam in which callers are posing as government employees and are demanding immediate payment for non-existent penalties and debts.

“Con artists and scammers prey on unsuspecting people and can steal thousands of dollars, while robbing us of our peace of mind as well,” Mautino said. “When someone calls demanding payment under unclear or suspicious circumstances, it is important that we get all the facts before taking any action.”

Recently, the Illinois Attorney General has received numerous complaints from residents who have been targeted

by scammers claiming to be employees of the Attorney General’s office collecting a debt. The callers use sophisticated telecommunications technology to “spoof” their phone numbers, making it appear that they are calling from a local number, and threaten residents with severe criminal penalties unless immediate payment is made. Targets are told that a warrant has been issued and that failure to pay within 30 minutes will result in immediate arrest.

The Illinois Attorney General’s office does not contact residents by phone to collect debts. If a resident receives a call claiming to represent the office and seeking payment, Mautino encourages them to hang up and contact the Attorney General’s Consumer Fraud

Bureau at 800-386-5438 or by visiting its website: http://www.illinoisattorneygeneral.gov/consumers/index.html.

“Law enforcement agencies are there to serve our communities, not bully residents into paying bills on the spot; so if someone calls demanding immediate payment and threatening legal action if their demands are not met, notify the police and the Attorney General’s office immediately,” Mautino added. “By checking credit reports regularly, demanding claims in writing and communicating with law enforcement, we can stay ahead of the con artists and remain safe.”

Mautino represents the 76th District, which includes all or portions of Bureau, LaSalle, Livingston and Putnam counties.

Linda Kurth, head librarian of the R.A. Sapp Memorial Library in Wyanet, stands outside the library, located at 103 E. Main St. The library is celebrating 100 years this year. In honor of the centennial celebration, there will be an open house on Saturday, July 11, during the Wyanet Summer Festival. Stop in to see the library and check out some of its history, which will be on display.

R.A. Sapp Memorial Library is celebrating 100 years WYANET — As the Wyanet Summer Festival kicks off this weekend, don’t forget to stop by the R.A. Sapp Memorial Library.

It’s the library’s 100th birthday this year, and there are all sorts of fun events planned to help mark this important historical year for the library.

During the festival, the library will host an open house from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, July 11.

Head librarian Linda Kurth invites everyone to the event — whether you’re an out of town guest or live right in town, it’s the ideal time to check out what the library offers.

“We would like to get as many visitors as possible,” Kurth said. “I would like more people to come in and check out all the services we have to offer our patrons.”

During the library’s open house, the library will be giving away centennial bookmarks and book bags to those who stop-in. There will also be notecards with photos of the library’s stained glass windows for sale.

Also, at 11 a.m. Kurth will be opening a time capsule from 1995. The time capsule includes all sorts of treasures — a Ruby Red Squirt, TV Guide, grocery prices from the year, sports records from Bureau Valley High School, a football card of Willie

Wyanet From Page 1 A vendor craft show will be from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The parade begins at 1 p.m. Kiddie tractor pulls will be at 2:30 p.m. Kids coin scramble at 3 p.m.

Elvis will take the main stage at 7 p.m., and Cal Stage will entertain at the beer garden beginning at 8:30 p.m.

Making the final preparations Wyanet Community Club president Jason Smith is making the final preparations for the event.

“With all the hard work the Community Club puts into this event, this is our chance to see our work in progress and see everything come alive,” he said.

One of the best attractions of the festival is having the carnival open all three nights, Smith said.

“I think we’re one of the

Anderson of the St. Louis Rams and much more.

Don’t forget to stop by the library during the parade, as they will be handing out watermelon.

Aside from all the fun and treats provided during the summer festival, the library will continue its celebration of 100 years throughout the year.

“It’s really been fun getting to know all about the history of how the library got started,” Kurth said. “It’s exciting to see the library turn 100.”

Ongoing at the library is a drawing each month. Whenever a patron checks out an item from the library, they get to put their name into a drawing for an item at the end of the month.

Winners throughout the year include Carole Yandel, Dave Russelburg, Brent Aukes, Amanda Garcia-Matuszyk, Jazzlyn Morris and Pam Wheatley.

The library will continue to draw names each month through November. There will be a final drawing in December for a big ticket item, according to Kurth.

To keep up with events going on at the library, like the library’s Facebook page, Raymond A. Sapp Memorial TWP Library.

only small towns that does that,” he said. “It does cost us money, but it seems to bring a lot of kids. Without the carnival we wouldn’t have the kids and without the kids we wouldn’t have much of a festival, so they go hand-in-hand.”

New this year in Wyanet will be the vendor craft fair on Saturday. Smith said it’s something the club has always wanted to bring to the festival, and this year it came together with the right person organizing the event. About 30 vendors are expected to be at the fair.

Also new will be a kid coin scramble on Saturday. Kids will take a dive in the hay to find pennies, nickels, quarters and dimes.

Entertainment from Elvis will also be new.

Smith said this is one of the concerts he’s looking forward to most.

“We mixed up a lot of

the entertainment this year. With new members in the Community Club, we’re trying new ideas and just running with them,” he said.

The Wyanet Summer Festival is not the only event the Community Club puts on each year.

The club is a nonprofit organization and puts on numerous community events throughout the year — from the sandbox fill, Easter egg hunt to the Halloween party and senior citizens dinner at Christmastime.

“A lot of people don’t know all the events we take part in throughout the year. We sure appreciate the support we get from the community,” he said. “I want to thank all of our volunteers for helping out in all our events. Without them, they wouldn’t be possible.”

curve, having already committed people and funds to marketing through social media connectivity and community directives, as Koehler realizes blending their efforts with the Diocese campaign will help to ensure a bright future at St. Louis.

“We have to promote.

We are a private school, so no one is forced to come here. We have to recruit families and sell them on why it’s a good idea to send their kids here, and we think we have a lot of good selling points,” said Koehler, who stressed retention is equally as important as recruiting, and of greatest importance is the Catholic formation of the children. “We have a very high retention rate, so hopefully once we get the kids and their families here, they are very satisfied.”

Koehler’s beliefs about education are rooted in production, and he stated in many cases the St. Louis curriculum exceeds state and local standards, introducing innovative educational techniques so that parents who pay extra for their child’s academics can rest assured the instructors care for and encourage the future

Richard Koehler generations.

“Next year we are introducing a new math series, and we even have some advisors coming in to help our staff make sure we’ve made the right decisions,” he said, adding they’ve initiated a Spanish program to the school and hired a Spanish aide who will work in the classrooms to diversify the cultural base of not only the students, but the faculty as well. “The kids are going to learn what you put in front of them, and as they grow confident in it, even if it’s just vocabulary, it won’t scare them when they get into junior high and high school.”

Koehler said the student to teacher ratio is low at St. Louis, which enhances learning and makes the dynamics of discipline easier, and the technology advanc-

es will assist in meeting different needs for different children, as all students will have access to Chromebooks and iPads.

Koehler acknowledged the changing world has an effect on education, but at this stage in his career, he’s glad to join a school with so many positive things in place and is excited to contribute to the tradition.

“Kids are still kids when they come in here, especially the young ones, and they’re all thirsty to learn,” said Koehler, who believes that guidance has been a key component of adolescent development throughout his academic career.

“There is a great sense of responsibility of not only having a good day but a good future, and they’ve embraced that here in providing a quality Catholic education for many generations.”

Koehler will approach this position as he has any task in his life, challenging himself and St. Louis Catholic School to get a little bit better than they were the year before without sacrificing the standards that got them to where they are today.

“In everything we do, if our decision is to improve or maintain our Catholic identity, we can’t go wrong,” he said.

From the editor’s desk I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July. I know it was a busy weekend in and around Bureau County.

As the fireworks lit up the sky, I hope we all remembered the number of people and the amount of dollars it takes to put on these fabulous shows.

If you see those out and about who were responsible for these fantastic events, please take a moment to give them a well-deserved pat on the back. On Terri Simon behalf of the Bureau County Republican, it’s my pleasure to give you a big round of applause for giving area residents great shows while we celebrated our nation’s birthday. Thank you!

••• I’ve had quite a few calls and questions about when our summer edition of Illinois Valley Living magazine will be out. Well, they are here and currently being delivered around Bureau, Putnam and LaSalle counties. If you are having trouble finding a copy, you can always stop by our office at 800 Ace Road and pick up one. They are free! Enjoy!

Remember ... if you have a story idea for our magazines, we are also happy to add your idea to our list.

Many of the stories you see in this magazine are readers’ suggestions.

••• Customer Service Kudos: Do you know an individual or a business who delivers great customer service?

If so, send me an email (tsimon@bcrnews.com), so I can let other readers know of your positive experiences. Below are the Kudos I’ve recently received: • Darrell and Kaye said, “Kudos to the people at Car Quest. My husband and I needed help with our van when we were parked at Perry Memorial. Our road service company couldn’t find help for us. They finally called Car Quest, and a gentleman came over to help us even though they don’t ordinarily do that kind of service. We sure appreciated his help.”

• Carol said, “Kudos to all the people who volunteer their time and cooking talents at Our Table at the Methodist Church (in Princeton). Everybody is so nice, and I, for one, always feel so welcome. It’s nice to share a meal with other people, and the food is always delicious.”

• Anita said, “I was looking for something specific at the Spring Valley Supermarket the other day, and one of the employees there spent 10 minutes trying to help me find just the right item. As we both looked, we chatted, and it made our search kind of fun — for both of us, I think. Sometimes in big stores you can’t even find a person to help you, and if you do, they don’t act like they care if they help you or not. My Kudos go to the Spring Valley Supermarket. Those big stores could take a lesson or two from this smaller store.”

••• Where in the World is the BCR? Are you planning on taking a vacation? If so, we’d love for you to take along a copy of the Bureau County Republican, and then have someone snap a photo of you holding the newspaper on your journey. We’d love to show your neighbors and friends where you’ve been. Send your photo along with information about who is in the photo and where it was taken to BCR Associate Editor Rita Roberts at rroberts@bcrnews.com.

••• Upcoming events: As your hometown newspaper, we are happy to help you let our readers know about your upcoming events. Whether it’s a spaghetti supper, an entire village festival or any activity where the public is invited, all you have to do is send us a press release outlining the event with all the where, when, what information. Please include a telephone number, and email it to news@bcrnews.com.

••• It’s difficult to believe July is already here. Wow! I love the way summer makes me feel — kind of like a kid again ... but then reality comes up and smacks me alongside the head! Let’s try to find some time to relax and make some memories with those we love and cherish. Trust me ... I know it’s hard, but we owe it to ourselves to do so. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

TO Letter THE Editor

‘Gay marriage is yet another immoral decision’ To the Editor, On Monday, June 29, my office was contacted by the BCR in order to solicit from me a response to the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision on gay-marriage. Unfortunately, I was not present at the time. So, I wish to make my response known now.

The U.S. Supreme Court has, in the past, made both moral as well as immoral decisions. Those decisions, which any right-thinking individual would agree were immoral, would be its support of slavery and segregation, as well as its most immoral decision of all in its history: the “right to choose” to murder unborn babies (i.e., Roe v.

Wade). The recent gay-marriage ruling is yet another immoral decision it has made.

When God made Adam, He made a suitable partner for him (Genesis 2:18) — Eve, who had complimentary attributes to that of Adam (bodily, etc). To our first parents, God’s first command was, “Be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 1:28) — that which only a man and a woman can fulfill. God did not say, “be fruitless and gratify” — that which is the sexual nature of a homosexual act.

For man — whether by a gravely-disordered individual, group or official high court — to say otherwise is an abomination before God, as well as toward that of human

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. Unsigned letters are never read or published. No letter will be published until The Bureau County Republican contacts the author of the letter to verify the signature. The Bureau County Republican reserves the right to edit or refuse any Letter to the Editor. nature itself (aka, against Natural Law). If one is, in fact, a Scripture-oriented individual, in order to more fully understand the intrinsic immorality of homosexual behavior, she/he also has the help of the story of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19) and Leviticus 18 and 20 and Romans 1, and I Corinthians 6, etc. It would only be through the employment of radically subjective scriptural gymnastics that one could conclude that they are NOT condemnations of homosexual activity.

There are all sorts of grave disorders to which human nature can be subjected (alcoholism, kleptomania, obsessions of all kinds, etc.), and one could debate how and from where they originate. Regardless of how and from where they come, my hope will continue to be that an individual person has the humility and wisdom to appropriately address any and all disorders which affect oneself or another, rather than affirming any and all disorders that oneself or another might have.

(Couragerc.org is a Catholic web-

site for Catholic persons wishing to address their own or another’s homosexual orientation.)

In regards to homosexuality — like other disorders — one must make a distinction between the orientation and the acting upon the orientation: the former is a disorder in and of itself; the latter is disordered behavior as well as an immoral act.

Lastly, judging another’s actions is quite different from judging another’s soul: to an extent, we are obliged to judge the actions of others — always with due consideration of Natural Law — so as to affirm good behavior and condemn bad behavior (parents and others do this countless times a day). We never have the option of condemning another’s soul — that is the action reserved to God, Himself. Let us always strive for faithfulness to God, in keeping with His design of human nature, marriage, love and family.

This is how we roll(e) Manlius Rolle Bolle brings all ages together

By Dan Dwyer

What is rolle bolle?

sports@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — Rolle Bolle is not a game everyone is familiar with, but it is a game that everyone can play and get familiar with.

The bolding crew with the Manlius Rolle Bolle Club tries to get their members to start early and stay a lifetime as they have participants as young as 7 years old and veterans of the game well into their 80s.

“I was born into Rolle Bolle from my parents and grandparents. We have three generations of bollers here today with my dad, Lily (7 years old and first-year participant) and myself, and we also have Wyatt, who is 4 years old, and he follows us while we play and practices as much as he can,” Jessica Smith said.

Rolle Bolle is derived from a Belgian game called Belgian Bowling and is mixture of many games such as bocce ball, bowling, curling and horseshoes. The game is now generally played in rural areas in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Canada.

To get started all that is needed are two stakes placed 30-feet apart, chalk to keep score, two teams of three players apiece and the most important piece of equipment, a bolle that weighs anywhere from 5-9 1/2 pounds and is a hard rubber, or molded plastic wheel that has a bevel, or uneven edge so it will not roll straight.

The object of the game is pretty simple: The team with the closest bolle to the stake at the opposite end of the court scores a

How do you play?

Players try to get their bolle closer to the stake at the opposite end than their opponents.

Up to three points can be scored per team roll. This is repeated until a team scores eight points. Matches are played in games of three so best out of three games wins.

When shooting the bolle, a participant looks as if he will be rolling his/her bolle away from the stakes, or targets, but the uneven bevel on the bolle causes the bolle to turn towards the stake. In essence, every bolle will react differently depending on size, weight and the speed and angle in which a boller throws his/ her bolle.

The other players leave their bolles on the court as each player takes his/

Rolle bolle From Page 9 her turn in order to make the next player’s roll more difficult. Many players attempt to roll around other bolles or a player can opt to shoot at and try to knock another player’s bolle out of the way, which often is more difficult than expected.

While the game is foreign to some who have not been around it, those who play and those who have witnessed the game know it has a universal appeal as a backyard game that brings families, friends and communities together.

“This is a summer family. It’s fun, cheap entertainment that everyone can play. It doesn’t matter how young or old

you are or if you have a lot of experience or none. You can come out and play,” Kris DeBrock a 35-year-member of the club said. “When our daughter (16-yearold Allison) was a year old I carried her on my hip as I went back and forth, and as she got older she grew into the game and started played.”

The Manlius Rolle Bolle Club has upwards of 50 players but on any given night can expect about 30 members. On this particular July night, 29 members attended.

The next major rolle bolle event on the calendar is a mixed draw event known as the Little World Rolle Bolle championship on Friday, July 10, in Manlius.
