CPASA success: Up in smoke Agency buys incinerator for its P2D2 program

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — CPASA’s P2D2 program is here to stay, thanks to the purchase of an incinera-

tor which will help sustain the prescription drugs disposal program.

CPASA (Community Partners Against Substance Abuse) Director Dawn Conerton was thrilled to announce the new purchase.

She confirmed the organization was able to use money from its reserves to help with the purchase. However, CPASA is still looking for donations to help

make up the cost and also to help with the upkeep of equipment.

The incinerator is located at the Princeton Police Department. A fence and a shelter still needs to be built around the incinerator before it’s used.

As previously reported in the BCR and the Putnam County Record, the state made the decision to no longer dispose of pre-

the street. Since September 2014, the program has collected and disposed of about 7,235 pounds of drugs.

Conerton explained how CPASA has worked hard to get the incinerator to help maintain the P2D2 program.

She said with the incinerator, CPASA will be able to continue

scription drugs, forcing CPASA to look into the purchase of an incinerator to continue its program, which allows residents to dispose of their unused prescription medications in a safe manner.

The cost of the incinerator came to around $10,000.

Since CPASA’s formation in July 2010, it has worked to keep unused prescription drugs off

IDOT closes Route 26

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

OTTAWA/PRINCETON — The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has announced Route 26 will be closed from Interstate 80 to Route 92 due to a pavement failure. The closure began Monday, July 13, and will continue to Sunday, Aug. 2.

According to Bruce Hucker, operations engineer for IDOT, the reason for the closure stems from a compromised roadway near the Pioneer Research facility north of City-County Park.

“There’s a large undermined hole under the pavement,” Hucker said. “It was caused by a 100-year-old — plus or minus — field tile that broke and undermined the pavement; there’s a cavity under there that’s 6 feet by 6 feet by 12 feet.”

Hucker said the problem clearly didn’t happen overnight. The broken tile, which is made of clay, was very brittle, and what’s left of the tile had multiple cracks.

IDOT will repair the problem by putting in a manhole on the west right-of-way line.

From the manhole, IDOT will run the storm sewer east to the other side of the road and outlet it into the ravine, just like to old tile did.

Hucker said the finish date has been set for Aug. 2, but the state hopes to actually complete the job sooner. He said the job requires very deep excavation, and wet and rainy weather makes that very difficult.

“We hope to be done sooner than (Aug. 2), but we always like t build in a little time for Mother Nature,” he said.

A state marked route detour will be in place utilizing Route 40, Route 92 and Interstate 80.

Z-Tour

Marquis Oak Ridge Trail will open at the Dixon Waterfowl Refuge in 2016

From Page 1 All proceeds generated from the ride support the non-profit Zearing Child Enrichment Center (ZCEC). To date, the Z-Tour event has raised $53,000 for the daycare center.

The Z-Tour event has three goals it aims to reach each year — promote bicycling as a safe, recreational activity; promote the city of Princeton and surrounding communities; and promote the services offered at ZCEC. Z-Tour Bike Ride Director Brian Church is ready to host the fifth event.

He explained the steering committee decided to make a few changes to this year’s bike ride to help keep things fresh and enjoyable for riders.

For riders going on the 10-mile course, the bike ride will be structured differently as the riders will be going out as a group, rather than on their own.

Church said with this group being mostly families, he’s hoping it will be a more enjoyable experience on the shorter path.

The group ride will hit the trail at 10 a.m. It’s expected that 50-75 riders will be in the group.

Church said this will allow a little later start and will help the more advanced riders get out of the park and on their ride earlier that morning.

Also new for the more advanced bikers who are planning on biking the 100-mile route, a fresh trail has been mapped out this year. Church said because the event has gotten many repeat riders on an annual basis, the committee decided to change things up a bit to help keep the scenery new. The trail will take bikers to the northern and southern portions of the county, rather than east to west.

Those who plan to go out on the 65-mile or 100mile routes are expected

The fifth annual Z-Tour Bike Ride Event will be held this Saturday, July 18. The ride is expected to attract more than 500 riders. Registration will be going on the morning of the event from 6 to 9 a.m. for those who are still interested in participating. to begin their ride by 8 a.m. to allow plenty time to be back at the park by 3 p.m. to enjoy a post-ride meal.

Generally speaking, Church said the volunteers and people who support Z-Tour are what make this event such a great one for the community.

“Without a doubt, when you ask for assistance, the answer is always yes,” he said. “People see the benefit of what this event has become and want to be a part of it and share the good will.”

Church said it takes about 100 volunteers on the day of the ride to keep the event running smoothly.

“This event could not take place at the level it does without all the sponsorships and volunteers we have who help pull it off each year,” he said.

For more information, check out the Z-Tour website at www.z-tour.org.

Still need to register?

Registration will be going on the day on the event. Registration will be open from 6 to 9 a.m. at Zearing Park. The cost is $35 for a single rider.

All minor children under the age of 12 can ride for free with an accompanying adult. All riders must sign a waiver, wear a helmet and observe all traffic laws.

Since a major new two-year sponsorship by Marquis Energy of Hennepin, the Wetlands Initiative (TWI) will be able to complete a key new public-access amenity at its Sue and Wes Dixon Waterfowl Refuge at Hennepin and Hopper Lakes, located south of the village of Hennepin in Putnam County.

“The Marquis Oak Ridge Trail will be a big new step in growing the public use and enjoyment of this great nature site,” said TWI Executive Director Paul Botts.

“We’re thrilled and humbled by Marquis’ generous support and their confidence in us.”

Marquis Energy’s commitment of $100,000 over two years completes TWI’s fundraising for the new trail, Botts said. The new trail is more costly to build than the site’s existing trails, he said, both because at 2.7 miles, it is easily the longest yet and because it will be constructed to be suitable for bicycles as well as hiking.

Jason Marquis, president of Marquis Management Services, said, “It is important to our family to be good corporate citizens and give back to the community that has

treated us so well. We believe the trail offers a unique opportunity to our employees and the community at large to enjoy what nature has to offer at the Sue and Wes Dixon Waterfowl Refuge. We are thankful to be able to contribute to TWI’s efforts on the Marquis Oak Ridge Trail.”

Access to the new trail will be from the levee along the north end of the Dixon Refuge, where a small parking area will be created that will be accessible from Route 26. Interpretive signage along the new trail will inform visitors about the wide range of flora and fauna present as well as the site’s history. The new trail will take visitors through or close to a range of restored habitats, Botts said, including wet and mesic prairie, wet meadow, hemimarsh and open water.

The Marquis Oak Ridge Trail will open the refuge’s interior to public access for the first time, Botts said. “Now visitors will be able to get out into the middle and have a 360-degree experience of this amazing place without needing to bring a canoe or kayak.”

The new trail will terminate in a short loop

through a rare oak savanna located well out into the Refuge. “For folks already familiar with the place, the oak savanna is the clump of big old trees out there which from the lakeshore looks like an island,” Botts said. “It’s actually the south end of an area which a hundred years ago was known locally as Oak Ridge.” A new viewing platform at one edge of the oak savanna will provide up-close views of a recently-restored open-water area that is already attracting a range of waterfowl, Botts said.

Created in 2001 and open to the public yearround, TWI’s Sue and Wes Dixon Waterfowl Refuge at Hennepin and Hopper lakes has been designated both an Audubon Important Bird Area and a Wetland of International Importance under the global Ramsar Convention, one of only 37 “Ramsar sites” in the country. Now totaling more than 3,000 acres, the Refuge is renowned for its diversity of habitats ranging from marshes, rare seeps, and other wetlands to oak savanna, the lakes, and several types of prairie.

Gleason wins LCN scholarship LCN/Allegion has established a scholarship award to assist area high school students who are pursuing an education in the business or engineering field. The first recipient of the scholarship was Jacob Gleason, a graduate from Princeton High School. He has begun classes at Illinois Valley Community College, where he will attend for two years before transferring to a four-year school. He plans to pursue an engineering degree.

Gleason (center) is pictured with his parents, Jay and Laurie (left), and Jason Krich, plant manager at LCN/Allegion. Applicants for the scholarship were PHS and Bureau Valley High School seniors who had been accepted to an accredited two-year community college or a four-year university or college. The selection committee consisted of three LCN employees and two community members. Applications were evaluated based on transcripts, extracurricular activities, leadership experiences and a written essay. The scholarship is a $4,000 award to be paid to the university or college in four, $1,000 annual installments.

“History goes by. The thing about the younger generation, they go out, and they see a combine going across the fields,” said Frank Strader of Walnut, a long-time member of the Bureau Valley Antique Club.

“Back in the old days, it wasn’t a combine. It was a horse and buggy, old steam engines and stuff.

(By coming to Ol’ Fashun Threshun Days), you get a good idea of what it was like years ago. That’s what it’s all about.”

Ol’ Fashun Threshun Days includes a variety of events for folks of all ages. On both Saturday and Sunday, event-goers can enjoy a flea market, a craft show, a parade on the grounds, children’s entertainment, a saw mill, a petting zoo, rope making and more.

Those who attend will also be able to see tractors, engines, steamers, threshers, antique cars, trucks, farm equipment and more. There will be four classes of pedal tractor pulls, where trophies and ribbons will be awarded. A lunch stand will be on the shaded show grounds.

“It hurts the water supply, and we also are getting them out of cupboards to prevent them from getting into the wrong hands,” she said.

“We now have a way to actually dispose of them completely.”

With the incinerator, CPASA now plans to host more collection days to help get rid of even more unused medications.

Princeton Police Chief Tom Root was also thrilled with the arrival of the incinerator. He explained the incinerator can get up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit and takes about 20 minutes to burn down the material. The drugs are burned down to a fine powder, which is bagged and taken to the landfill.

The incinerator arrived at about the right time, as Root said there is currently about 1,500 pounds of pills to dispose of from the Bureau and Putnam

Root said CPASA plans to charge a fee to communities who don’t provide a donation for the incinerator. The fees will help maintain the incinerator and help keep up with the purchase of diesel fuel.

CPASA is still looking for donations to help make up for the cost of the incinerator and to help continue the work CPASA does throughout the year.

“CPASA appreciates all the donations. We would

never have believed in such a short amount of time this would be a reality,” Conerton said.

“This community is so awesome with their support and knowing how important it was to help.

It’s widespread and something that’s going to help everyone.”

From the editor’s desk It was another busy weekend in Bureau County, and from the looks of things, this coming weekend holds just as much action as the last.

Last weekend, the village of Ladd celebrated its 125th anniversary with a plethora of activities and events. There was a lot to do, and from the looks of it, many former area residents returned to Ladd to participate in the celebration. It was a great event, and as always, there are countless people who worked behind the scenes to make it a success. When you see folks out and about, please make sure you give them a well-deserved pat on the back.

The annual Wyanet Festival was also held last weekend. I remember going to that festival as a little girl — many, many years ago. From the looks of the event this year, I believe today’s children will also remember the fun they had for years to Terri Simon come. Again, many area folks work behind the scenes to help make it a success. If you see these people, please make sure you thank them for their efforts.

Coming up this weekend: The Zearing Child Enrichment Center’s Z Tour Bike Ride, Ol’ Fashun’ Threshun Days outside of Ohio, Ill., and Sheffield’s Music on Main. All three events look like loads of fun, so please make sure you patronize these activities if you can.

On the horizon: The annual American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life at Zearing Park in Princeton is set for the evening of Friday, Aug. 7. This is a tremendously heartfelt celebration of life for those who have and continue to battle cancer, as well as their caregivers and anyone who supports finding a cure for this awful disease. Mark your calendar now. This is the first time the event will be held in Princeton, and organizers are hoping for a great showing of support. I hope to see you there.

••• It looks like summer is in the air this week — that humid and hot weather we all associate with our Midwestern summer season. Keeping that in mind, please remember to check on senior citizens in your neighborhood during these hot and humid days. Also, remember your four-legged friends need some relief from the heat as well. Please make sure your outdoor animals have plenty of cool, fresh water.

••• Do you know a woman who has made a difference in the lives of others? A woman who has made an impact on the Illinois Valley? Now is the time to nominate that woman for our annual Women of Distinction Awards.

Nomination forms can be found inside nearly every edition of the Bureau County Republican and the Illinois Valley Scene, as well as our Illinois Valley Living Magazine. The nomination form is simple and doesn’t take long. Just email me your nominations at tsimon@ bcrnews.com; send them to me at BCR, Attention: Terri Simon, P.O. Box 340, Princeton, IL 61356; or follow the links on our website. Questions? Give me a call at 815-875-4461, ext. 6330.

••• I’m seeing that many area churches have either already hosted or are in the process of holding their Vacation Bible School events. As a kid who grew up on the farm, I remember being very excited about getting to come to town to attend Bible School. It was a big deal to me back then.

Even if you don’t belong to a church, I think most Vacation Bible Schools welcome all children to their events. I’d make a call first to make sure non-members can attend, but I feel certain most churches will welcome everyone with open arms.

••• Just a reminder: Letters to the Editor should be no longer than 500 words. Please include your name, your hometown and a telephone number to verify the authenticity of your signature. Your telephone number is never published.

••• Have a great week. Try to take some time to relax and enjoy these lazy days of summer. Don’t forget to wear sunscreen on these sunny days, and take special care of your pets in the summer heat. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

Making a list of ... me If you ever look at anything on the Internet or visit particular websites, it is interesting to see the number of lists of persons, places and things that have been created. Some of these lists are just so unusual.

Here is a sample of some recent lists I have seen advertised: 10 Reasons Why Hummingbirds Are Absolutely Astounding; 10 Creepy Stories from Mysterious Islands; 10 Intriguing Prehistoric Women; and 5 Bubble Up Casseroles. I didn’t look at most of these, but I did check out the bubble up casseroles.

I wanted to know what “bubble up” meant, and I was hungry at the time; so anything food-related sparked my interest. In case you are wondering, “bubble up” meant that the casseroles all included something that would rise, primarily some type of biscuits. I haven’t tried any of them, but at the time given my state of hunger, they all looked pretty good. The other lists sound interesting, but I haven’t checked them out ... not yet anyway.

The list craze seems to have even struck my 6-year-old grandson.

His lists are in the form of guessing games for me. “Grandma, do you know who my three favorite people are?” I begin guessing — Mommy, Daddy, Cole, Jonathon (his brothers). For everyone he says “No!” His next question is, “Do you give up?” I do, and then he proceeds to tell me his list. He has lists for his favorite people, his least favorite people, his favorite foods, his favorite iPad games, etc. Even if I guess the right thing, he says no, and then wants me to give up. That’s

Nita Wyatt COMMENTARY

part of the fun for him. He’s 6 and likes to stump Grandma.

So, I decided I should create my own list of something. I don’t know a lot about any one subject, so that kind of list was out. I cook, but I am certain no one would want me to compile a list of “delicacies” from my kitchen. What list should I make?

Here is the list I came up with.

What do I do, say and remember that highlights that I am a country, small town girl?

I drive down the highways and byways in the spring and check out the rows of corn as they go by — often hearing my dad’s voice commenting about how straight the farmer had planted his corn. I think those fields of straight rows of sprouted corn are beautiful. I also comment as I drive those same highways and byways about the amount of grass being mowed at some of the farmsteads. And, that newly-mowed grass certainly looks pretty.

I remember the only house in town with air conditioning belonging to the owner of the local plumbing and heating business.

His daughter was a friend of mine.

In the high heat of the summer, that air conditioning sure was better than the cold washcloth I took to bed with me to try to cool off when the thermometer didn’t seem

to drop even at night.

I am enough of a country girl that most bugs and insects don’t scare me. I’m not fond of spiders particularly, but I have disposed of quite a few. I am not thrilled with bees and wasps, but that’s more of a fear of being stung than of just the presence of a bug. A bug, is just a bug after all. There were lots of bugs on the farm.

I have eaten almost every food “creamed, especially vegetables.

Creamed peas, creamed corn, creamed asparagus, all foods familiar to this country girl.

I check out every siren that goes by my house. Is it firetruck, ambulance, police car? I usually try to catch the town name on the side of the ambulance. Several town’s equipment pass by my house. I know, this could be called nosy, but I like to think that it is more concern than nosy. I like to know that my friends and neighbors are safe.

On a clear night you can see all the stars, and on a clear day, you can see for miles and miles. The top of a hill around here is the highest viewing point, and the view can be amazing. One of the pleasures of being in the country.

That’s the list I came up with.

Those seven things make me think of being from and living in the country. I’m sure the list experts would find my attempt pretty mundane, but the list defines where I came from and where I live. I like what the list symbolizes — the country, a simple life, memories, and well ... me.

TO Letter THE Editor

‘Pull together’ To the Editor, This past weekend the Wyanet Class of ‘55 celebrated its 60th anniversary. We were appalled at how our hometown is. Everyone in Wyanet should feel this way! Pull together, and save what is left. First,

take a stand and fight to keep the school you have left in the community, so families will want to live there. They have never proved bigger is better! Many of the graduates have done very well graduating from Wyanet. Work together, volunteer and fight to keep the school.

After that, work to make your com-

munity a place for families to grow in. What is more important? Talk to your city father and your school leader. Form groups of parents, students, neighbors ... Wonder how others feel?

Shirley Lampkin Cinnamon, Class of ‘55 Brimfield

Williams retires from U.S. Air Force Western High School graduate plans return to Bureau County COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Lt. Col. Richard Williams, U.S. Air Force, served his last day on active duty Tuesday, July 7, retiring after more than 20 years of military service. He was presented with the Meritorious Service Medal during a ceremony conducted at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado.

Williams is a Bureau County native. He graduated from the former Western High School in Buda in 1989 and then enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he served in the Army’s Military Intelligence Corps as a Russian translator and intelligence analyst. He left the Army after six years, received a master’s degree in criminal justice from Illinois State University in 1996 and then went on to receive a law degree from Northern Illinois University in 1999. He worked for the LaSalle County State’s Attorney’s office after graduating law school until he joined the Air Force as a judge advocate in 2001.

Williams focused on various areas of the law while in the Air Force to include criminal, contracts, environmental and civil law issues. He performed duties as a senior military prosecutor and defense attorney and received appointments as a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney by the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Louisiana and later by the U.S. Attorney for Colorado.

Williams’ duty stations included Schofield Barracks, Hawaii; Fort Hood, Texas; Lackland Air Force

Lt. Col. Richard Williams Base, Texas; Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont.; Barksdale Air Force Base, La.; and Peterson Air Force Base, Colo. He completed his career while assigned to Headquarters, Air Force Space Command, where he served as chief of criminal actions for an organization of more than 46,000 personnel performing space and cyberspace missions at locations across the globe. He provided oversight on all adverse criminal legal actions within the command.

Williams deployed several times during his career. His first deployment was to an undisclosed location in the Persian Gulf area in 2008-09, where he performed duties as the sole legal advisor to an air base providing combat and surveillance support into both Iraq and Afghanistan. He also deployed for 12 months to Afghanistan in 2011-12, where he was assigned to the Headquarters, U.S. Forces

Afghanistan, providing legal support to the senior U.S. forces commander, Army General David Petraeus, and later Marine General John Allen. He was the primary legal advisor for all base closure operations and was the Afghanistan-wide legal lead on all large scale acquisition, construction and humanitarian projects. He provided legal reviews on more than 400 acquisition and construction requests worth $5 billion. His review of all projects identified $45 million in savings. The senior legal counsel for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff praised his efforts as “perfect!”

Williams’ military decorations include the Bronze Star, Meritorious Service Medal, Army and Air Force Commendation Medals, and the Joint Service Achievement Medal.

Regarding his future plans, Williams stated the sky’s the limit. He has been in contact with a number of federal agencies, to include the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Attorney’s Offices.

“The military has provided me with endless opportunities, but it came at the cost of having to relocate to a new duty station every two to three years, so foremost in my planning is to find a steady and safe place to finish raising my children, our ‘forever home,’” he said.

“I can’t think of anywhere better to call home than Bureau County surrounded by friends and family. In that light, I will be running for Bureau County State’s Attorney next year on the Republican ticket.”

Lasting legacy Jimmy D outing going strong after 33 years

By Luke Whitecotton

Jimmy D Golf Outing facts

sports@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — When you go through history, you will come to find many great men with lasting legacies. Some may have been great doctors or athletes. Some may have a greater legacy as just being a great man. This would be the case for Jimmy DeAngelo. Most may know of the name by the yearly golf outing bearing his name — Jimmy D. It all started with Jimmy and a few friends, who started an unofficial golf outing at Edgewood Golf Course, to spend time laughing and sharing stories; but at the age of 36 DeAngelo found he had tumors in his brain.

Instead of thinking of his diagnosis, he approached his brother and some friends to start organizing a golf tournament to benefit cancer research and treatment in the area.

In the early years of the tournament they would have an all-day event of golf, dinner, a dance and prizes at night. They would eventually donate the proceeds of the event to local women who did not have insurance so they could get mammograms. One family member stated, “Even when Jimmy was sick, all he cared about was others and how they were doing.” Today, that same caring spirit is obviously living through family as well as the tournament.

• Started in 1982 • Named after the late Jimmy “D’ DeAngelo, who died at age 37 in 1983 with brain cancer • Has raised more than $658,000 the first 32 years.

• This year’s proceeds will benefit the Esophageal and Colon Cancer Center at St. Margaret’s Hospital in Spring Valley.

Every second weekend in July, the annual tournament kicks off; this year marks the 33rd year of the event. Also every year, the tournament committee picks a cancer to donate the funds to.

This year, it is going to esophageal. One member of the tournament said, this cancer, if found early, “is very treatable and (we) feel this would help get the early detection out there.”

This year’s event held Sunday at Spring Creek and Deer Park Country Club had all-day golf, food and drinks, hats and koozies — all included in the fee to play. The atmosphere is laid back and fun, and the community really comes out to be part of this great cause.

“Jimmy would of loved this, it was his dream to have this succeed and
