Princeton OKs marijuana site Application process begins for ISP District 17 medical marijuana cultivation center

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton City Council has thrown the city’s hat into the ring in seeking to

become a site for a medical marijuana cultivation center.

However, that hat toss was not a unanimous decision.

At Monday’s meeting, the council voted 4 to 1

to endorse using a site in the southwest corner of the Princeton Logistics Center as the location for a future medical marijuana cultivation center, if Princeton would get chosen by the state as a

facility site. Mayor Keith Cain and Commissioners Ray Mabry, Ray Swanson and Joel Quiram voted in favor of supporting the development, Commissioner Bob Warren voted no.

In presenting the information for discussion, Princeton City Manager Jeff Clawson said the city

was recently approached

by Largo Meds LLC about the company’s interest in applying for a permit from the Illinois Department of Agriculture to build a medical marijuana cultivation center in the Princeton Logistics Park.

County makes wind farm decision

Sewer problems continue in Wyanet WYANET — Wyanet resident Jean Fox is concerned about sewer backup in several basements on North Street, including hers, during recent storms.

At Tuesday’s meeting of the Wyanet Village Board, Fox said she has lived in the same house for 35 years but only recently started having the sewer back up into her basement. The problems began only after recent upgrades to the sewer line that runs under the railroad tracks, she said.

Village Engineer Jack Kusek assured the board that the problems could not be caused by the upgrade.

Kusek and Mayor Bruce Hand both believe the problems are from many Wyanet residents having their sump pumps tied to their sewer lines. Excess water in the sewer during heavy rains is causing the sewage to back up into basements.

The village’s Sewer Use Ordinance prohibits putting rain water into the sewer lines, Kusek said.

Motor Fuel Tax money will be used to make repairs to several streets. Scheduled repairs include the alley south of Main Street from West Street to the east and Front Street from Maple Street to the east.

Other repairs include Arch Street between Third and Fourth streets, Greencastle Drive from Fifth Street to the south, and Walnut Street from Main Street to Front Street. Repairs will be approximately $28,000.

Act became Illinois law on Jan. 1, and establishes program guidelines for the application process, the production and distribution of medical cannabis. The number of cultivation centers is limited by law to one per Illinois State Police (ISP) District.

PRINCETON — After several months of consideration, the Bureau County Board has made its decision on how to handle decommissioning funds for the Big Sky wind farm near Ohio.

At Tuesday’s meeting, the county board voted 16 to 5 to approve a $2 million letter credit to the Big Sky wind farm, which is currently owned by Ever Power. Voting against that action were board members Connie Stetson, Kristi Warren, John Baracani, Marshann Entwhistle and Jeff Mangrich. Board member Bob Albrecht abstained from the vote, due to conflict of interest. Absent from Tuesday’s meeting were board members Joe Bassetti, Tom Giordano, Bob McCook and Tom Ptasnik.

During the public comment portion of Tuesday’s meeting, the board heard from rural Walnut resident Ed Gerdes who said he and a group of other residents were concerned about the county possibly granting a letter of credit to the wind farm for decommissioning costs. The group’s recommendation would be to go with performance bonds which he said would cover the entire cost of decommissioning. The group was also concerned Big Sky participating landowners would be responsible for

Marijuana From Page 1 Princeton is in ISP District 17, which encompasses, Bureau, LaSalle and Putnam counties, Clawson said.

Other communities within District 17 have already expressed interest in getting the cultivation center in their communities.

Largo Meds LLC’s proposal is to develop and build a 50,000-foot facility in Princeton, specifically in the southwest corner of the cityowned Princeton Logistics Park, located on the north edge of town. That site meets all legal and zoning requirements by the state for the cultivation center, Clawson said.

If successful in obtaining the cultivation center license from the Illinois Department of Agriculture,

Largo Meds LLC would intend to produce medical marijuana for sale to statelicensed medical marijuana dispensaries. Largo Meds LLC intends to submit applications in four of the designated Illinois growing districts.

The proposed cultivation center in Princeton would provide about 20-25 new jobs to the area, Clawson said. The developers are offering some incentives to the city for its support. The cultivation center would be regulated and inspected regularly by the ISP. Clawson’s recommendation would be to put the city’s name into the hat for consideration for the cultivation center.

“This project is another welcome inquiry to expand our economic base,” Clawson said. “The positive feedback from the commu-

nity and the assets we offer can go a long way to get the attention of the Illinois Department of Agriculture, as they consider which application is appropriate for approval in our area.”

Mayor Keith Cain said he supports the cultivation center for Princeton because it would create new jobs and new revenue for the city. The cultivation center would be located away from schools and residences. A cultivation center will be located somewhere within District 17, and he would like to see Princeton get it, the mayor said.

Commissioner Joel Quiram said he also supports the cultivation center because it could be another revenue source for the city which the city needs. The competition from other communities will be fierce, and Princeton needs to

Commissioner Ray Swanson said it’s been a hard decision for everyone to reach, but he thinks the city needs to think outsidethe-box. Other prescription drugs are being manufactured elsewhere, like morphine, and medical marijuana is a weaker drug than some of those, he said.

On the other side of the issue, Warren said he has some reservations about the whole idea.

“Since I was made aware of this, I’ve had a really difficult time coming to grasp with this,” Warren said.

“The biggest reason is we spend a lot of money every year on the D.A.R.E. program educating our youth against drugs, be it legal or illegal. I realize the law has changed, and it is OK to have this (cultivation center). But I have a hard time personally squaring this up in my own mind. I realize it could be a great source

of revenue for the city. On one hand, why would you turn that down? Morally and ethically, I still have a big question mark in my mind.”

The Illinois Department of Agriculture will review all cultivation center applications during the fourth quarter of 2014 with announcements on the chosen locations to be made at a later date.

Business owner expresses concerns about SV’s LED sign ordinance

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — Spring Valley business owner John French, accompanied with his attorney Julie Ajster, both spoke at the Spring Valley City Council meeting on Monday with concerns regarding the drafted ordinance meant to regulate the new LED business signs.

French is the owner of the two new LED signs located on Dakota Street.

After erecting the signs earlier this year, the council heard complaints from residents who believed the signs were too bright and a bothersome to surrounding neighbors.

Since then, the council has been working on an ordinance to better regulate the brightness of the signs. City Attorney Jim Andreoni used the city of Chicago’s dynamic image display sign ordinance as a starting point for drafting Spring Valley’s ordinance.

Modifications have been made to better fit the city of Spring Valley.

On Monday, Ajster said the issue with the brightness of the signs is understandable, but the city’s drafted ordinance seemed to control more issues about the sign than just the brightness. “(Mr. French) is willing to make any modifications to the brightness, but the ordinance seems to go a little beyond that and other issues, as well,” she said.

“My concern is that the ordinance is so restricting that modifications can’t be made to his signs and he would have to turn them off. That in essence might be a taking of his property.”

Andreoni explained the council was not wedded to the draft ordinance and is seeking input from owners of the signs to see what concerns they might have the regulations. He said the council is still trying to learn more about the LED signs and their capabilities

before they pass the ordinance, because they are such a new technology.

French stressed how important the signs were for advertising and how much they’ve boosted business since being erected.

“I didn’t think they would do as much as they have, but I’m averaging 12 to 15 calls a day from the signs,” he said. “Other businesses have come forward and want to put a (digital) sign at their business. So the sign is huge and it’s great for the city of Spring Valley.”

French said he is working on fixing the brightness. It was explained that his signs have to be turned down by a wireless computer software program, so the process was not as easy as turning a knob on the sign.

French also spoke against the ordinance’s mention of turning the sign off between midnight and 5 a.m. Not only would turning the sign off every night hurt the life expectancy of the sign, but it would hurt the purpose of the sign. “ I’m willing to do whatever I can to turn it down to help the city, but to turn it off, I’d feel like the sign was a failure. There may not be a lot of people out during those times, but they still notice the signs and that’s a great time to have it on,” he said.

Alderman Dan McFadden clarified the council is not trying to pass an ordinance against John French, but rather for future’s sake.

“This sign ordinance is to protect both the citizens and the business owners of Spring Valley from any other problems down the line,” he said.

The ordinance was not on Monday’s agenda for the council to vote on, but the council plans to hold a future committee meeting to further discuss modifications to the ordinance.

‘The soul of our community’ Observing the 150th anniversary of Owen Lovejoy’s death

By Sarah Cooper Special to the BCR

The historian Howard Zinn, author of the “People’s History of the United States.” once wrote: “History cannot provide confirmation that something better is inevitable; but it can uncover evidence that it is conceivable.”

The life of Princeton’s the Rev. Owen Lovejoy is testament to Zinn’s observation. This year is the sesquicentennial of his death.

U.S. Congressman, national anti-slavery activist, Underground Railroad conductor and former minister of Hampshire Colony Congregational Church, Lovejoy died on March 25, 1864.

He had lived long enough to see American slavery abolished, but not long enough to see the end of the Civil War over which it was fought.

In June 1864, a few months after Lovejoy’s death, John Howard Bryant and other veteran Illinois activists in the antislavery cause gathered in Princeton to plan and raise money for a monument in memory and honor of

Bureau County Historical Society Director Pam Lange took this photo of the Lovejoy Monument, which was erected in 1866 at the Lovejoy/Denham family plot in Oakland Cemetery. A sign at the east entrance to Oakland now directs visitors to it.

in a letter to John Howard Bryant: “Let him have the marble monument, along with the well-assured and more enduring one in the hearts of those who love liberty unselfishly for all men.” In the mid-1850s, a more cautious Lincoln had been wary of Lovejoy, the outspoken abolitionist. But once he became president, Lincoln found in Lovejoy, who had been elected to Congress in 1856, an effective emissary to the other radical Republicans in the House. When Lovejoy died, Lincoln said: “I have lost the best friend I had in Congress.”

The Lovejoy Monument was erected in 1866 at the Lovejoy/Denham family plot in Oakland Cemetery.

A sign at the east entrance to Oakland now directs visitors to it.

The poet and newspaper editor William Cullen Bryant (and John Howard’s brother) had travelled from New York to Princeton for the 1864 meeting to plan the monument.

He shared his hope for its eventual impact: “Let no man who looks at this monument ever be discouraged in a good cause.”

On the 150th anniversary of Owen Lovejoy’s death, one hopes that the life of a man once called “the soul of our community,” continues to inspire seekers of social justice everywhere.

The proceedings of the Lovejoy Monument meeting were published in the Bureau County Republican. While the language may be dated, the words Lovejoy’s compatriots used to describe his concern for the oppressed resonate even today: Col. F.A. Eastman declared: “Princeton has suffered a great loss.

A leading citizen of this place said to me: ‘In Owen Lovejoy we lost the soul of our community.’ And as I stepped into the street this morning from my hotel, a poor laborer exclaimed, ‘Owen Lovejoy was kind and noticed poor people, and ‘tis a pity he is dead.’

While other advocates of liberty were theorizing and explaining — too often apologizing — he at once took his stand with the lowly ... For years before Mr. Lincoln said ... ‘This country must be all free or all slave,’ Owen Lovejoy had resolved that all should be free.”

Likewise, W.T. Allan emphasized Lovejoy’s identification with the masses of humanity: “If you destroy or outrage one human being, no matter how much strength or how much money, however many churches, how many schools, how many railroads, how much apparent prosperity you may have in various direc-

making up for lost property taxes as the turbines depreciate. Also in 15-20 years when it comes to decommissioning time, the new towers would be taller and need larger bases than the current ones, he said.

Though he didn’t agree with those people who signed as participating landowners with Big Sky, they are still friends and neighbors and the group cares about what will happen with them when it comes to decommissioning, Gerdes said.

Board member Steve Sondgeroth did question Gerdes on the accuracy of a study used by the group, and presented to the board at its May meeting. The study showed the cost to take down the 87 turbines would be about $224,000 per turbine. But after further examination and study, that number should be more in the $126,000 range, Sondgeroth said.

Ever Power/Big Sky spokesperson Mike Speerschneider said the proposed letter of credit would be for $2 million, rather than the current $1.8 million cash-onhand arrangement. Letters of credit are a con-

Letters of credit are a common financial instrument in the wind farm industry, Speerschneider said. After talking to brokers, the use of performance bonds, as suggested by Gerdes, was not easily done, he said.

In her comments, board member Connie Stetson recommended the county keep the cash on hand, which is what she thinks county residents would want.

In her presentation, Zoning Committee Chairman Marsha Lilley said the committee did not have a recommendation for the board concerning the Big Sky decommissioning funds.

The committee had three members in favor of a letter of credit, three in favor of keeping the cash, and one committee member abstaining.

Tiskilwa names Citizen of Year

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

TISKILWA — The Tiskilwa Village Board voted 3-1 to name Dave Forristall as Citizen of the Year at its meeting Tuesday night.

Forristall has donated labor to a sidewalk replacement project spearheaded by his company, Forristall Concrete and the Tiskilwa Community Association, on the north side of the 200 block of West Main Street.

Trustees Eric Paull, Gene Gustafson and Dave Wright voted for Forristall. Trustee Steve McKinney voted against Gustafson’s motion. He suggested Rich Foss or Nancy Johnson, who serve on the Tiskilwa Library Board

be named, co-citizens of the year for their efforts in getting a new library constructed in town.

Other board members felt that the entire Tiskilwa Library Board should be so honored instead of just two members.

In other business, trustees voted to give Mayor Randy Philhower the authority to award the lowest bid for placing 13-14 wheelchair access ramps on Main, Brewster and Washington streets before the board’s next meeting in August in order to get the work done this year.

A bid has been received from Mark Jones for a price per ramp while other board members felt that Forristall needed to have the chance to submit a bid. Philhower said he

has talked several times with Forristall, who indicated he hasn’t had time to do the paperwork on the project.

Trustees approved the rezoning of a duplex located at 135 and 145 S. Sycamore St. to attached single-family residences, the Tiskilwa Zoning Board approved the zoning change.

Trees on the east end of Brewster Street on the creek bank and Arch Street will be removed for $980 and Art Nelson has replaced a roof on the well house. Philhower was also given the authority to issue a liquor license to Craig Ziegler to sell beer and wine before the board’s next meeting if he gets the paperwork finished.

Ziegler has purchased

the old Casey’s store in town and wants to open it again.

Philhower will see if Ameren will pay for a village employee’s wages on July 4 when a sewer line was damaged during some digging on Adams Street.

Philhower said the village will hear this fall whether two bridges in town on Jefferson and Arch streets will be placed on the Illinois Department of Transportation’s bridge replacement five-year program. Philhower said he has talked with Congressman Adam Kinzinger’s office (R-16th District) and state Sen. Darin LaHood (R-37th District) about this issue.

A healthy respect for Mother Nature Alex Trebek, host of the Jeopardy television game show, once said “If you can’t be in awe of Mother Nature, there’s something wrong with you.”

But sometimes I think it’s easier to appreciate Mother Nature when you’re a kid.

I remember those days, long ago, when I was a girl growing up in Tiskilwa, how I marveled at the beauty and power of what I would call Mother Nature. Each winter, it seemed like we got several feet of snow and could always count on snow days from school. I loved those blizzardlike days.

I also remember being fascinated by thunderstorms and lightning, by the pounding rain of spring and summer. I remember the excitement and challenge of living life without electricity when a power outage occurred.

COMMENTARY One year, I remember standing in my upstairs bedroom and watching the great flood waters coming down our hillside road.

Though not understanding it at all, I remember being amazed at the power and force of Mother Nature.

As an adult, I still enjoy watching Mother Nature flex her muscles, but I’m so much more aware of the hardships which can come with that show of force.

I now think about the expense of keeping furnaces running during bitterly cold winters, of trying to maneuver a car on ice-covered roads, of taxpayer expense for plowing roads. I think about potential problems and expense caused by power outages.

About three hours into last week’s 12-hour power outage in my hometown, I started to think about the cost of replacing the food in the refrigerator and freezer, if necessary. I thought about potential flooded basements. I thought about the physical discomfort of having a house that was too muggy and too hot.

But even with those more “grown-up” considerations, I still have a bit of child within me and couldn’t help but think about that spirit of determination and strength that we all tend to display as we rise up to meet the challenges that are brought to us, whether by the weather, Mother Nature or whomever.

For my husband and me, rising up to meet the challenge of last week’s power outage meant getting up every hour on the hour to fill our gas-operated generator that kept our sump pump going and our basement dry. We hadn’t been up every hour on the hour for a long time … basically since never.

But even then, my husband looked on the bright side of things. Not only were we thankful to have that generator to protect our basement and belongings, but getting up every hour through the night reminded him of when our kids were babies and we were up all night with them.

Somehow just remembering those precious days with babies made last week’s overnight challenge a little bit lighter for me.

In retrospect, I think it’s probably good every once in a while to not just appreciate the beauty of nature, but also to respect its power over us. We may think we are very much in control of our lives, and we are in many ways, but we still have to take notice and remember we aren’t in control of Mother Nature.

And that can be an awe-inspiring thought.

This, that ... and the odder My Grandpa John has a phrase he uses every time something bad happens to him; “Black Cloud Bystry.” I always thought he was just trying to be pathetic. I never believed a person actually had bad luck, but now I am convinced he has passed down his misfortune gene to my brother, Justus, whom we call “Bad Luck Bub.” Justus has a very positive upbeat personality. He doesn’t complain often and is especially full of life.

But if something bad is going to happen, it will happen to him. We started to notice it one Christmas years ago when he received several bombed gifts.

It started with a rescue hero that had a broken arm. Justus, who was about 5 at the time, opened the gift and tried to conceal the broken arm from the gift-giver. After the giver left, my mom looked at him, and his eyes were all welled up with tears and his lip was quivering. He quickly assured my mom it was OK, and he would play with the broken toy.

The same Christmas he also received a PowerRanger from my aunt. Power Rangers come in several colors like blue, red, green, yellow and pink. She chose the yellow. She was so excited to get the latest and the greatest gift for Justus. Unbeknownst to her, the yellow Power Ranger was a girl. Justus once again

Are we teaching wrong values?

To the Editor, I grew up during the Depression in the 1930s when people were basically self-sufficient — you had to be— unemployment was about 30 percent of the labor force.

Very few homes had grass to cut because most of the ground was used to produce vegetables.

I recently came across a statement by Patricia Egan, an old codger (I think) who said, “To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.”

Amelia Bystry COMMENTARY hid the fact he was devastated.

The failed gift attempts have continued throughout the years, and they include a non-erupting volcano, two tadpoles that after nine months still had not turned into frogs and a pocketwatch that broke as he was opening the package (he also concealed this).

My poor brother has also had some bad vacation experiences.

On one vacation my entire family, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents were at the Dells in Wisconsin. Everyone was staying in one big cabin. We called for the bus to transport us to the waterpark, and while on the bus, we kept counting and arguing about how many people we had. After several attempts at counting heads, it wasn’t until we got to the park that my mom got a call from my grandpa, who had stayed behind to take a nap, saying that we had all left Justus behind.

No wonder the counting heads never added up.

Then on a trip to the zoo when Justus was only about 3, he got left behind at the lions while the rest

of the bunch had traveled on to see the reptiles. Then there was the time we were taking his dream trip to roller coaster city, and his head swelled up twice the size because he had hives so bad. He still rode every roller coaster there with a strained smile on his face. All I can say is those vacation pictures are quite funny.

I know some of you might be saying this can happen to anyone, but I swear he attracts bad luck. Just yesterday as I was in the middle of working on this column, my mom came home from the store and had a candy treat for everyone. Justus was looking all over for his Butterfinger bar he had requested. Everyone else had a perfect treat, but his was found melted and smashed at the bottom of the bag with the apples and orange juice.

Even though “Bad Luck Bub” has had his share of unfortunate experiences, he always has a smile on his face and a good attitude about life. The best thing about him is he laughs at himself, so we can all laugh with him. If any of this happened to any other child in our house, they would retreat to their room crying and throwing a fit, but not Justus. He just smiles.

Letter THETO Editor Today we are in the growing season, and I don’t see a lot of gardens in and around the area. During the Depression the land in back of the house was worth more than the house.

No one fixed their homes because they never had the money to do the repairs, and so they had buckets in their rooms to catch the rain water that fell. However they did spend a lot of time gardening. If you didn’t do the work in the summer, you went hungry in the winter because you didn’t put away those vegetables for winter’s use.

To garden was the process of knowing that tomorrow you had enough to eat and that was not a belief, but a principle you lived by.

I can understand why people don’t plant gardens anymore. We have federal programs that make it unnecessary to plant a garden. This year Social Security increased by l.5 percent while welfare benefits increased 34 percent.

Are we teaching wrong values about work? St. Paul’s epistle to the Thessalonians (3:10) states, “If man will not work, neither should he eat.” Give welfare recipients seed

packages because they all have parents, grandparents that have land to grow vegetables, where they can subtract from their grocery costs. This will also cut down on the grass that has to be cut.

Our country is too liberal. Liberalism is fine until you run out of other people’s money, or until the president stops spending America into bankruptcy.

During the Depression, work too was hard to find, but the philosophy to plant a garden was to believe in tomorrow, and people did exactly that.

‘Boeing Boeing’ takes off at Festival 56 Show opens Tuesday PRINCETON — Next up in the Festival 56 lineup for the summer is the fast-paced farce, “Boeing Boeing,” at the Grace Performing Arts Center, 316 S. Main St., Princeton.

The show will run at 7:30 p.m. July 15, 17, 18 and 19. There is also a matinee at 2 p.m. July 19.

The story of “Boeing Boeing” centers on Bernard, a self-styled Parisian lothario, who has Italian, German and American fiancees, each a beautiful airline hostess with frequent layovers.

He keeps “one up, one down and one pending” until unexpected schedule changes bring all

three to Paris — and to his apartment — at the same time.

Tom Rusterholz, who was a lead in the Festival’s production of “The Full Monty” last year, plays Bernard. Marissa Martinez, fresh from playing Sylvia (the dog) in the Festival’s production of the show by that name, plays his American fiance. Shannon

Hill and Jaime Patriarca, newcomers to the festival this season, play his Italian and German fiances, respectively.

A brief discussion with the show’s cast and director will take place after the opening night performance.

The Festival 56 production of “Boeing Boeing” is co-sponsored by Centrue Bank and the law firm of

Langhenry, Gillen, Lundquist and Johnson.

The Grace Performing Arts Center is completely accessible and ample nearby parking is available. To purchase tickets, visit www.festival56.com, call 815-879-5656, ext. 11, or stop by the box office which is open from noon to 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday and an hour before each performance.

SPRING VALLEY — Designed to rate how well hospitals protect patients from accidents, errors, injuries and infections, the latest Hospital Safety Score honored St. Margaret’s Health with an “A” — its top grade in patient safety.

The Hospital Safety Score is compiled under the guidance of the nation’s leading experts on patient safety and is administered

by The Leapfrog Group (Leapfrog), an independent industry watchdog.

The first and only hospital safety rating to be peerreviewed in the “Journal of Patient Safety,” the score is free to the public and designed to give consumers information they can use to protect themselves and their families when facing a hospital stay.

“We are very pleased that our hard work has been recognized by the Leapfrog Group,” said Tim Muntz, president /CEO of St. Margaret’s. “I would like to commend the medical staff and employees who all play an integral part in providing our patients safe, quality care during their stay in our hospital.”

“

“We are very pleased that our hard work has been recognized by the Leapfrog Group.”

Tim Muntz “Safety should come first for our families when we pick a hospital because errors and infections are common and deadly,” said Leah Binder, president/CEO of The Leapfrog Group, which produces the Hospital Safety Score.

“No hospital is perfect, but we congratulate the board, clinicians, administration and staff of St. Margaret’s for achieving an ‘A’ and showing us that you made the well-being of your patients your top priority.”

Calculated under the guidance of Leapfrog’s Blue Ribbon Expert Panel, the Hospital Safety Score uses 28 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to produce a single “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or “F” score representing a

hospital’s overall capacity to keep patients safe from preventable harm. More than 2,500 U.S. general hospitals were assigned scores in spring 2014, with about 32-percent receiving an “A” grade. The Hospital Safety Score is fully transparent, and its website offers a full analysis of the data and methodology used in determining grades.

To see how St. Margaret’s score compares locally and nationally, and to access safety tips for patients and their loved ones, visit the Hospital Safety Score website at www.hospitalsafetyscore.org. Consumers can also go to www.hospitalsafetyscore.org for a free download of the Hospital Safety Score app.

‘Never trust BBQ from a skinny man’ Tornow and Vaccaro open Cowboy and Tony’s Butt Shack BBQ West

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

WALNUT — At the end of May, Chris “Cowboy” Tornow and Tony Vaccaro opened Cowboy and Tony’s Butt Shack BBQ West at the Green River Country Club just outside of Walnut.

Tornow and Vaccaro are friends who went to a Kansas City Chiefs game several years ago where they decided to start pursuing the option of opening a restaurant. Vaccaro

has been in the restaurant business for 30 years.

“The dream of Cowboy and Tony’s Butt Shack BBQ started in November 2012 with two ‘fat guys’ in the front seat of a pickup traveling to Kansas City with their wives telling them they are crazy,” the men said. “Here we are 16 months later, and the dream has become a reality.”

Vaccaro has more than 30 years of experience in the food industry while Tornow “Cowboy,” the pit master, loves BBQ and

smoking meat.

Cowboy says, “Never trust BBQ from a skinny man.”

After opening Cowboy and Tony’s Butt Shack BBQ in Mendota at 716 Main St. on March 7, the men were approached about opening a restaurant at the Green River Country Club just west of Walnut.

“It was a no brainer for me since I grew up in Walnut,” said Tornow, who now lives in LaMoille.

“We serve smoked brisket, pulled pork, smoked ham, smoked brats and pork sausage. We have fried potato salad, and the largest platter of onion rings in

For the love of the game Boy with autism just loves to play baseball

By Becky Kramer sports@bcrnews.com

Matthew Schennum gets ready to swing the bat during a recent Princeton Instructional League game. Schennum is currently on the Tigers squad sponsored by Allegion. He plays the game despite having a disability of being autistic.

PRINCETON — Every little boy dreams of playing baseball and Matthew Schennum is not any different except Matthew is autistic.

His dad, Scott, said, “I wanted Matthew to play to show people that a disability isn’t a road block to achieving things rather just a slight detour. Also I wanted to show kids who might be sitting on the fence to go ahead and play.”

Matthew is 7 years old and will be attending second grade this fall in Princeton. He is the son of Janet and Scott Schennum. He has a little sister, Sarah.

In August of 2009 Matthew was diagnosed as nonverbal autistic at Easter Seals in Bloomington. With much help and support from Princeton Elementary School and Gateway Services, Matthew has become more verbal. Many autistic children have impaired social skills and also learn skills in different ways.

Both of Matthew’s parents have expressed how much Matthew loves sports especially basketball and baseball.

He loves to watch sports on television and loves to go to Peoria Chiefs games.

Matthew’s mom, Janet said “Because of Matthew’s love of sports, he wanted to play on a baseball team this year with his friends. We as parents have always encouraged Matthew to be involved in activities that encourage social interaction. We felt that playing sports would give Matthew a chance to play on a team, learn social rules and just have fun.”

Matthew is currently on the Princeton Instructional League Tigers Team sponsored by Allegion. Since Matthew learns differently than other kids, he was provided many accommodations.

Matthew is a visual learner and learns best when he is taught in this mode. Before games he is read a social story which breaks down a social situation into a series of events or steps that should happen in order for an individual to accomplish the given task. He also has

other visual aides to help him understand the rules and concepts of the game.

Janet said, “Matthew never ceases to amaze us. He is a little boy, who has some challenges due to his autism, but if he wants to do something, he will work really hard to meet his goal.”

Matthew was eased into the game situations. He was allowed to just watch during the first game of the season then he played in the field during the second game. During the third game and all games after that, he played in the field and batted.

According to Matthew’s dad, Scott, some of the major struggles Matthew faced included knowing where to stand in the batter’s box, holding the bat properly with two hands, and understanding the order of the bases and to run to the bases after hitting the ball.

Matthew’s coaches, Tim Forristall and Erik Wahlgren, were very supportive. They helped to provide some needed accommodations so Matthew could be successful. Many times they pitched to Matthew or allowed Matthew’s dad to pitch. They also gave Matthew lots of reminders of where he needed to be and what he needed to do.

During one of Matthew’s games last week, when he was up to bat he was smiling from ear to ear. He struck out but Matthew heard all the cheers and support from all the people in attendance.

Scott has questioned whether or not letting Matthew play was the right thing to do. Scott said, “But after game four, I thought I’m glad he played and he will play another year and then we will take it from there. It was a beautiful thing.”

The support from parents and the kids have been amazing. A mom from another team, Courtney Friel, said, “My son Evan played Matthew Friday night and thought it was great to see him out there. He’s not just a child with autism, he’s a boy that wants to hit and throw a ball around, just like any other boy. Kudos to the Schennums for letting him just be a boy!”

Cut out the various sentence sections, put them in the correct order and then glue them onto a piece of paper.

For the second time, The FIFA World Cup is being held in Brazil.

FIFA stands for Fédération Internationale de Football Association. The World Cup competition is held every four years.

The qualifying process started nearly two years ago with 209 teams from six continents competing. Only 32 countries compete in the World Cup Finals. The championship game will be held on July 13.

The World Cup trophy is 14 inches tall and weighs 11 pounds. It is made of 18 carat gold with a malachite base. Connect the dots to see what it looks like.

The original World Cup Trophy was made for the first international competition in 1930. Thirty-six years later, the Cup was stolen, just before that year’s competition.

The current holder of the trophy is Spain, winner of the 2010 World Cup. Use the code to discover the country that has won the World Cup championship eight times.

Fortunately, it was found under a hedge. Do the math to discover who found the stolen World Cup trophy. The odd-numbered answer is the correct one.

Inspector Jacques Clouseau of France.

A dog named Pickles.

Time to get Kaddywampus Granville sports bar and grill serves up an eclectic menu, atmosphere

By Ken Schroeder

kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

One of the definitions of the word “kaddywampus” is “crazy.” Is that word applicable to the Kaddywampus Sports Bar and Grill in Granville?

“Absolutely,” Kris Hall, part owner of Kaddywampus said. “We wanted to do something that nobody else does. Our menu is very eclectic with a lot of things you don’t see everywhere else. The decor is just who we are, which is not always quite right. Kaddywampus says that.”

Kaddywampus will be celebrating four years of business on Labor Day weekend, and Tom and Kris Hall have been able to expand the business and their offerings each year. Last year, the Halls opened the patio in back of the building with a bar and comfortable patio furniture for a quieter,

social atmosphere. Of course — being a sports bar — there’s a 52-inch TV on the patio for watching the latest Chicago sports game/fiasco/etc.

“Next year, I’ll be taking out the rugs out here and laying down AstroTurf,” Tom said. “The asphalt gets kind of hot during the summer. It’s one of the things you learn as you go.”

The Halls started their journey into Kaddywampus with a sports bar in their home. The Halls enjoyed it but thought there was more they could do.

“It never seemed to be big enough,” Kris said.

“A lot of people would come over there, sit and drink beer at the bar and have a good time and conversation,” Tom said.

“This place came open, and I said ‘Let’s open it.’

She said, ‘You’re crazy.’ I said ‘Let’s give it a shot,’ and here we are.”

“It’s one of those things

Left: Homemade tacos with homemade salsa and a special Mexican sour cream are just one example of the great menu at Kaddywampus. where all of the cards in the deck fell into the right place at the right time,” Kris said. “So here we are.”

“I’ve always had a taste for it, so I really wanted to do it,” Tom said.

Kris brings 32 years of restaurant experience to the table, with 25 years of working at the Uptown Grill in LaSalle and various bartending jobs before that. While the Halls enjoy working for themselves, Kris said they don’t really see it that way.

“I think the more important people are the customers,” Kris said.

“If they get angry, that’s an issue. You hope that never happens.”

“When you get your regulars back at a neighborhood bar, you’re doing something right,” Tom said.

The Halls freely admit it’s been an uphill battle.

“We went in during probably one of the worst economic times there is,” Kris said. “We figured, if we’re going in at the worst, it can only get better.

Hopefully.”

Kaddywampus has a friendly, cozy atmosphere with a wide assortment of libations and some great food. Food ranges through burgers and sandwiches to appetizers. However, there are, as Kris said, some eclectic items on the menu as well, such as the

green rice ball appetizers — balls of green rice casserole breaded and deepfried. Daily specials are also varied like tacos or homemade lasagna.

“Almost everything we make is homemade,” Kris said. “I’ll start my day around six or seven (a.m.).”

The kitchen at Kaddywampus is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. The bar is open 9 a.m. to “close,” Tuesday through Saturday, usually around midnight.

Sundays are “Fundays” at Kaddywampus, with sports on three big screen TVs throughout the bar and festivities throughout the day.
