Counterfeit $50s showing up in the area

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Counterfeit money has made its way back into the Central Illinois area.

As reported Monday morning in the Sauk Valley News, a Tampico man was arrested Sunday for trying to use counterfeit money at the Petunia Festival in Dixon.

David W. Crow, 28, of Tampico was arrested at 1:50 p.m.

Sunday after North American Midway Entertainment staff contacted the Dixon Police Department about a counterfeit $50 bill being used at the carnival area at Dixon High School. Crow was arrested and charged with three felonies of forgery, after officers found three coun-

terfeit $50 bills in Crow’s possession.

On Monday, Bureau County Sheriff John Thompson said the attempted use of counterfeit money is not just a summer thing around festivals, fairs and carnivals, but is something that can happen any time of the year.

Unfortunately, there has been a notable increase in the manufacture of counterfeit money since the advent of technology, Thompson said. Several years ago Bureau County Chief Deputy Tim Trevier helped in an investigation into the use of counterfeit money which involved youthful offenders in LaSalle County, which also had an impact in Bureau County. The Secret Service also became involved in that investigation, he said.

He has not heard of any more recent cases of counter-

feit money being passed locally.

The most common method of manufacturing counterfeit money is a bleaching process which takes out the currency amount on the bill and then imprints a larger currency amount on the bill, Thompson said.

There are some types of coloring methods which attempt to test bills for authenticity. On the federal level, there are some changes in design of the larger bills and also the installation of a magnetic strip in the bill. He does have several counterfeit bills at his office which are used in training his deputies, Thompson said.

However, Thompson said with the advanced degree of technology, it’s very hard for people to tell a counterfeit bill. But if a bill doesn’t look right or have the right feel of a good bill, then residents can certainly question it and contact authorities.

PRINCETON — For the first time in six years, the Miss Bureau County Fair Queen pageant will be exclusively for Bureau County contestants.

On Monday, pageant Director Tracey Diehl said there are currently 18 Miss contestants, all from Bureau County, with that number possibly even increasing due to possible website applications which have not yet been tallied.

The Bureau County Fair Board had decided earlier this year if there were at least 10 Bureau County contestants, the Miss pageant would not be opened this year to surrounding counties, which had been the practice for the past several years, Diehl said.

The Miss pageant had been opened to surrounding counties when Bureau County participation numbers had dropped drastically, so much so that one year there was only three contestants and one of those contestants had to drop out, Diehl said. In an effort to keep the Miss Queen program going, the fair board

Tucker Brown didn’t mind displaying his country’s red, white and blue colors during Princeton’s fireworks display at Zearing Park. Hundreds of area spectators were in attendance Friday evening for the annual fireworks show. Other July 4 events around the county also drew crowds. For more weekend photos, see Page 2.

From flower gardens, to backyard fountains and statues, vegetable gardens and barn quilts ... Saturday’s Garden Walk through Bureau County has something for everyone.

The Bureau County Tourism and Princeton Tourism groups are partnering together to bring its semi-annual garden walk to area residents.

Saturday’s garden walk begins with a short program at 9 a.m. at the People’s Garden, the recentlyplanted pollination garden next to the Princeton Public Library on East Peru Street in Princeton. Free to the public, the garden walk is self-paced, so people can visit the various gardens in Princeton, Tiskilwa, Spring Valley and Malden anytime from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Bureau County Tourism coordinator Kathy Costerisan said.

“With all of the rain we have been having, the plants are green and lush,” she said.

Garden Walk From Page 1

the Garden Walk will be available at the Princeton Public Library, at the Prouty Community Building on South Main Street in Princeton, and at each location on the map.

To start the day at the pollination garden, area biologist Ellen Starr with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, will talk about the 710 plants growing in the garden. The garden has been designed specifically to attract pollinators like bees, butterflies and hummingbirds, Costerisan said.

“If you’ve ever eaten a blueberry, chocolate bar or tomato, you can thank a pollinator,” Costerisan said. “Pollinators are birds, bats, butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, wasps, small mammals, and most importantly, bees. They are responsible for pollinating one out of every three bites of food we eat.”

From the pollination garden, people can head out to four other garden sites in Princeton, three in Malden, two garden

spots in Tiskilwa, and three garden spots in Spring Valley.

Also included in Saturday’s garden tour is a special kickoff of the Barn Quilts of Bureau County trail, Costerisan said. The kickoff starts at 11 a.m. at 15945 2625 East St., about seven miles east of Princeton, where a 6-foot wooden barn quilt will be hung on Costerisan’s barn.

Direction signs will be posted on Route 6.

Princeton’s first Cystic Fibrosis walk raises more than $13,000

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Princeton’s first ever Great Strides Cystic Fibrosis Walk has been labeled a success.

The walk was held on June 28 at Zearing Park.

The event was planned by 28-year-old Cheriz Kunkel of Princeton, along with her friends and family. Kunkel was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) when she was just a few weeks old.

While it was Kunkel’s goal to raise $10,000 to go toward the CF research,

her event brought in 120 participants, and together they raised $13,300.

Because the event was such a success, Princeton will now become a permanent annual walk site for the CF Foundation’s Great Strides Walks.

Future events will have bigger and better resources and get its own website where people can sign-up and keep track of the walk details.

Kunkel was thrilled with the outcome and more than excited to announce the great news about Princeton being a permanent walk site. She

explained the walks are the single largest nationwide fundraiser and are crucial to the research and development for a cure for CF. “As a person with CF, I can personally say that I can feel a difference in my health, especially my ability to breathe, thanks to new medications that have been found through research, “ she said. “In fact, in the last two weeks a new medicine combination has been found that will help target an underlying cause for one of the most common mutations for CF.”

Kunkel said the Phase 3 clinical trial results show a promising future, however, only pertain to one of the thousands of the CF mutations.

“This is why continued fundraising and research is needed to cure CF and help all those afflicted.

We really appreciate the community’s support and look forward to next year’s second annual Great Strides Walk for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation,” she said.

Kunkel and her team were able to gather more than 30 raffle prizes to give away at the event and

got more than 25 businesses to donate to cause.

“Lots of people went home with great gifts,” Kunkel said. “I want to thank everyone who sponsored, donated, volunteered and walked with us.”

Planning for the second annual event is already on her mind. Kunkel is looking for anyone’s feedback on this year’s event in order to get a better idea on what to do and what not to do for the next event.

People are also encouraged to check out Kunkel’s blog at www.cheriz.

Queens From Page 1 opened the pageant to surrounding counties, she said.

Looking at the decision to open the Miss pageant to neighboring counties, Diehl said she had heard people say that even if they had one (Bureau County) girl enter, so be it — just let her be the queen. In theory that is OK, but Diehl said when the girl headed down to Springfield, she would be completely overwhelmed, plus a girl who was handed the crown would not be prepared to compete against 71 other girls. That would be so unfair to the girl to walk into that, she said.

“This year’s pageant is completely girls from Bureau County. A lot of people worked hard to get that many girls in the pageant, and I hope that effort continues in the future,” Diehl said.

Practices begin this week for the 2014 pageant which is set for Aug. 3 at Princeton High School.

Describing the criteria for judging the Miss contestants, Diehl said the contestants will have a four-minute interview with a panel of three judges, who come from outside the area. The interview accounts for the major-

Bureau County Republican • bcrnews.com ity of the contestant’s score. Contestants are also judged on a one- minute speech they have prepared on basically any topic, with the speech having the second highest percentage of their score. Contestants are also judged on their evening gown, which is a dress of their choice, and then finally the “dreaded swimsuit,” which is the lowest percentage of scores. The Bureau County Pageant is patterned after the Miss Illinois County Fair Queen Pageant, which is held each January in Springfield.

“I have always found pageants to be a learning experience for the girls.

We are not like the Toddlers and Tiara’s pageants at all,” Diehl said.

The main focus of the Miss pageant competition is on the interview process as well as the speech, Diehl said.

“Each one of these girls will eventually have a job interview, and we want to make sure the girls do learn some interviewing skills. And most (of the girls) will eventually have to give some sort of presentation in front of people, so being able to give a speech in front of a crowd does come in handy,” Diehl said. “While we focus on learning, we like to sprinkle in some fun as well. I think we do a good job with that part.”

Diehl said she is proud of the girls who have represented Bureau County as its queen in recent years. Miss Bureau County 2009 Jordan Diehl is a manager of an event company in Chicago; Miss Bureau County 2010 Leah Metcalf is a veterinarian major in Chicago; Miss Bureau County 2011 Hannah Sheley is a teaching student with a minor in Spanish and a member of the Illinois State University circus; Miss Bureau County 2012 Tiana Maupin works for Oh La La in Princeton and is a hair dresser; and the current queen, Ashley Simmon, is majoring is physical therapy and hopes to work with disabled veterans after graduation, Diehl said.

“These young women have set the bar high, and I have no doubt the 2014 Miss Bureau County will continue with that trend.

We are excited to get started,”she said.

In addition to the Miss Bureau County Fair Queen pageant contestants, there are 14 Junior Miss contestants and 19 Little Miss contestants. The Little Miss pageant will begin at 3 p.m. Aug. 3, with the Junior and Miss pageants following, and running together as they did last year, Diehl said.

SV man taken to OSF St. Francis SPRING VALLEY — A 30-year-old Spring Valley man was LifeFlighted to OSF St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria after being found underneath a train on the railroad tracks about one mile east of Route 89.

According to a Spring Valley Police report, officers received a call from Iowa Interstate Railroad at 2:09 a.m. July 4 after the conductor reported seeing the man laying between the rails on the tracks.

Upon stopping the train, the victim was removed from the scene by the Spring Valley Fire Department and taken to St. Margaret’s Hospital by 10/33 Ambulance. From there, the man was transported to OSF St. Francis.

Perspective Bureau County

Republican

Serving Bureau County Since 1847

Sam R Fisher

Editor

From the editor’s desk I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July. I really liked having the holiday fall on Friday, which gave most a three-day weekend. Several of us at the Bureau County Republican did work on Friday, but we were able to get the newspaper to the press fairly early, which was nice.

I’m always impressed with the way Bureau County approaches the Fourth of July — with much patriotism and a good share of hoopla. Driving through several towns/villages on Friday, you could smell many grills fired up — kind of made me want to stop by and see (OK, maybe taste too) what was being prepared for the holiTerri day!

Simon Walnut had its annual celebration, complete with fireworks to end another great event, plus there were fireworks in Princeton, Spring Valley and Mineral — plus a bunch of random fireworks heard throughout many neighborhoods in the county. On behalf of the BCR and myself, I’d like to extend our appreciation for all the work, time, energy and money which goes into these celebrations. I’m not sure everyone actually realizes how much goes into what seems like a simple event, not to mention something as large as the one in Walnut. I also think it’s great how the communities who have fireworks make sure they don’t set their displays on the same nights as other towns in the county. That’s really considerate, plus it affords folks the opportunities to see more than one fireworks show.

Another big thanks to the fire departments and ambulance personnel who were on stand-by at these activities ... just in case. Thankfully, I heard of no accidents, but these professionals’ presence at these events is always comforting.

I hope your Fourth of July was full of memory-making moments.

••• The storm that ripped through the area last Monday (June 30) was a doozie! I live in Sheffield, and several of us had trees downs and other damage caused by the strong, straight-line winds, as well as downed electrical lines. I know others around the county had damage too and power outages.

Bureau County is no stranger to storms, but as I looked around town Monday evening after the winds were long gone, I couldn’t help but think how lucky we were. Nobody died. Damage was to a minimum, compared to places like Washington, Ill., and other tornado-ravaged areas. And even though the lack of electricity kept many folks’ sump pumps from running after several inches of rain, things could have always been worse.

For me, I am continually impressed and amazed with the kindness of people in small towns like the ones in Bureau County. The normal quiet and serenity of our small towns was soon replaced with the hum of chainsaws, as neighbors helped neighbors remove the downed trees and branches. My personal heroes were Randy and Cleo, who helped us with the trees/ branches we lost.

Sometimes I long for the big city and everything it has to offer, but then something like this comes along, and I quickly remember why small town living is so wonderful.

••• They’ve arrived! I’ve been asked several times about the Summer 2014 edition of Illinois Valley Living.

Well, they are being distributed now. If you can’t find a copy, just swing by the BCR, and we’ll be happy to give you one. As always, I think you’re going to like it.

Please feel free to email me any story suggestions for the next issue.

Guest Commentary Who are the Informed Farmers?

Editor’s note: The following exceeds the Bureau County Republican’s Letter to the Editor word requirement, therefore, the BCR will extend the same opportunity to someone with an opposing view. Contact BCR Editor Terri Simon before submitting your letter at 815-875-4461, ext. 6330.

The Informed Farmers Coalition (IFC) was formed five years ago to study the impacts of wind turbines on our agricultural and residential community. The group consists of past or present union iron workers, school teachers, township officials, lawyers, a farm manager, a plumber, a fireman, a mechanic, school board members, county board member, union truck drivers, a dentist, retail workers, construction workers, nurses, union equipment operators, hospital workers, a social worker, bookkeepers, a school administrator, salesmen, an electrical engineer for Com Ed, an EMT, numerous local business owners, large/small landowners, homeowners, and of course, farmers – many of whom are the third and fourth generation on that farm. Many are lifetime residents of this agricultural community.

They have discovered, through sworn testimony throughout the state, that people are suffering from the same health issues, noise disturbances, untruthful wind company promises, property value losses, etc. The ongo-

ing research brings the discovery our local landowners may be responsible for the property taxes and decommissioning of the wind turbine should the wind company walk away from the project. The turbine property tax bill stays in the name of the landowner with the bill being listed c/o of the wind company. So ultimately if the wind company doesn’t pay, it will be sent to the landowner.

IFC became aware some of our local landowners with signed contracts had never seen a map where their turbines were projected to be placed. The map presented with the petition to the county also shows underground transmission lines. Some landowners were not aware transmission lines would go through their property and did not think they had signed up for that. One landowner agreed to a contract but for only 80 acres of his property.

But when IFC was researching at the county, they discovered his contract was filed containing all 560 acres of his property.

The real experts about wind turbines are the citizens living among them. IFC has attended numerous county meetings across the state of Illinois only to realize the people testifying under oath all have the same story – homes where they can no longer live or sell due to noise and health issues; wind companies that townships must sue to collect their rightful money; trespassing of heavy equipment on non-participating land that compact the soil for years as well as damage crops and tile; crop dust-

ing problems; GPS systems that no longer get a signal; cell phones and TV reception problems; etc.

IFC is aware that Lifeline helicopters may not choose to land in a turbine area; this was needed this spring for a local farm accident.

A letter from a school superintendent states the children in his school district are suffering from the effects of the turbines, since they went online.

IFC also became aware that once a person signs a contract they have agreed to a gag order that restricts them from talking about the wind company. Also anyone the wind company has paid off has the same rules. You have people against the turbines that farm or do business with contract holders that don’t feel they can speak publicly for fear of losing farm ground.

The county board’s first priority above all should be to keep the citizens of its county safe. Money should not be put above health or safety. Zoning was established in the 1960s to protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens.

Agriculture should not be compromised by wide-spread industry across the land. One member of the IFC remembers a county board member saying he didn’t know if he should believe the IFC or the wind company. Remember the wind company is here to make millions off of our land, sell a product and leave us with the mess. IFC is here to stay and makes nothing.

Kendall Guither, spokesperson for IFC Walnut

••• It looks like we are going to have some hot and humid weather. Please remember to keep an eye on your neighbors, family and friends — especially those seniors or other folks who might have health concerns. And don’t forget your four-legged friends, who can quickly succumb to heat in your vehicles or without enough cool water.

••• Have a great week, and remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

Princeton Futbol Club honors Garvin Team played for three minutes ‘one man down’

By Becky Kramer sports@bcrnews.com

​PRINCETON — On Sunday, the Princeton Futbol Club paid their final respects to their teammate, Kurt Garvin, during the first annual Kurt Garvin Memorial Tournament, held at Zearing Park.

Garvin was a Princeton EMT/firefighter, board member of the Princeton Jaycees, volunteer PHS girls soccer coach, founding member of the Princeton Futbol Club and a true soccer fanatic. Garvin, 28, died in a motorcycle accident June 28.

Garvin was instrumental in organizing this Princeton Soccer Tournament this summer, recruiting teams to participate, and was planning to compete with the Princeton Futbol Club. With his passing, the tournament he was so instrumental in planning was dedicated to him.

Princeton High School varsity girls soccer coach Ed Young said, “Kurt would have loved every minute of the soccer fest today, from setting up to taking down. Kurt planted the seeds for this tournament, and it is time to nurture those seeds and watch them grow every year to be the tournament Kurt dreamed of.”

The tournament began with a memorial to Garvin by friends and family members who spoke to the crowd and provided heartwarming stories. Young and Garvin’s best friend, Andrew Whitlock, both commented on the fact that Garvin was a friend to all, and everyone he met considered him their best friend. Garvin’s father, John Garvin, thanked the crowd for coming and expressed his appreciation for the support the entire community has given his family.

Balloons were launched to commemorate Garvin’s

The tournament demonstrated teams and people will travel for opportunities to play soccer. There were teams from Iowa, Rockford, Rock Island, Peoria, plus DePue and Mendota. It was Garvin’s wish to not only

have this soccer fest but also others as well.
