BV moves forward with new junior high Board hires architectural firm, decides to send out surveys

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — The Bureau Valley School Board moved forward with its plan to build a new junior high school that will attach to the existing high school building on the Manlius campus.

Stephen Nelson and Christopher Anderson, representatives of the Larson

& Darby Group of Rockford, attended a special meeting of the Bureau Valley School Board Tuesday, July 14. The pair gave a PowerPoint presentation to the board, showing four different floor plans/ scenarios — all of varying square footage and prices. After the presentation, the board eventually agreed in a 6-1 vote to hire the Rockford firm for architectural services for a price that will range from $350,000 to $470,000. Board member

Kent Siltman cast the lone no vote.

Of the four different options presented to the board, three were basically similar — differing only in the square footage (approximately 25,000 to 35,000 square feet), the cost to build the structure ($5 million to $7 million) and the number of classrooms (six to 12). All three of these options for the new junior high school included a commons area, a gymnasium, locker rooms, restrooms and a food service area. With these options, the junior high students would share the main entrance with the high school students, however, any other co-mingling of the students would be at a minimum.

County hires administrator

The fourth option presented (35,000 square feet) included a separate entrance for the junior high students, nine classrooms and the other features presented in the first three options.

The board spent considerable time reviewing the schematic designs Some of the concerns that surfaced about the options included: • An adequate septic system; • Ample parking lots; • A separate library for the junior high students; • The size of the new gymnasium and

PRINCETON — Bureau County has a new administrator.

On Tuesday, July 14, the Bureau County Board approved to hire Sue McLaughlin of Normal.

The board wasn’t all in favor of the hire, however. After a closed session, the board conducted a voice vote to approve an employment agreement for McLaughlin. While the majority of board members voted yes, there were several who voted no for the agreement.

The vote to hire McLaughlin was split 17-9, with board members Joe Bassetti, Tom Dobrich, Deb Feeney, Mary Jane Marini, Mike Maynard, Jane Piccatto, Micah Robinson, James Thompson and John Baracani voting no.

The board anticipates McLaughlin to start sometime in August.

Partnering with Marshall County Public Health Also on Tuesday, July 14, board member Loretta Volker, chairman of the health department committee, announced ongoing negotiations have been taking place over the last six months between Bureau and Marshall counties regarding public health services.

Volker said Marshall County’s public health has been covered by Peoria County for a number of years, however, Peoria County recently decided to withdraw its services.

“We have been negotiating with them on whether or not Bureau-Putnam County can pick up their services and extend services,” she said. “And we have found a way to do that.”

Volker said a contract has been written up, and it’s anticipated Marshall County will accept the agreement.

The contract will allow all Marshall County employees to remain working in their positions, however, they will move to a 35-hour work week which is the same

SHEFFIELD — If you’re looking for a family event that provides fun for everyone, you might want to venture to Sheffield for the fifth annual Music on Main event, set for Saturday, July 18.

Sponsored by Sheffield Pride, the featured attraction of the annual event is the music, which is set to begin at 6 p.m., where the Lizzi Neal Band takes the stage until 8 p.m. Lizzi Neal Band specializes in rhythm and blues music, and bluesy rock and roll.

Following that band, event-goers can enjoy Forgotten Highways, a country band which has opened for many big names in country music. Forgotten Highways plays until midnight.

A beer tent, wine and cocktails will be available, and plenty of local food vendors will be offering a wide array of snacks and eats.

The gates for the music, which is held on Sheffield’s Main Street, open at 5 p.m.

The gate charge is $6, and children 12 and under are free.

“It’s going to be a fun-filled evening with kids’ events ... two great bands, and good food and drinks,” said Justin Yepsen, who is spearheading the event this year.

While the music is obviously the crux of the Music on Main event, there will be plenty of other activities to get the entire family involved.

At 2 p.m. (registration begins at 1:30 p.m.), Sheffield’s Cornerstone Community Wellness Center will sponsor a Wet and Wacky Race for children — adults are encouraged to get involved too. The event begins on Main Street; participants then head to Veterans School Park where they’ll find an obstacle course of water features and pools of Jell-O. At 3 p.m., children can participate in

More than just a good sun tan ...

Area lifeguards take their jobs very seriously

By Eric Engel news@bcrnews.com

They are more than just warm bodies with whistles ... more than teenagers with tans and inner tubes.

They are protectors of the pool.

Every hot summer day needs a swimming pool, and every swimming pool needs a lifeguard. They keep a watchful eye over the safety of the swimmers; limit the poolside rough-housing to a minimum; and teach the children how to swim like fish of the sea.

“I really enjoy lifeguarding because I was on the swim team growing up, and I love talking to the kids who come to swim,” said Emily Smith, a lifeguard for two years at Covney-Veterans Memorial Swimming Pool in Spring Valley, who is studying elementary education at Eureka College. “Plus it’s just enjoyable being outside and near the water.”

Baily Beaber, a lifeguard for five years at Alexander Park Pool and the Bureau County Metro Center in Princeton, said at times lifeguarding can be somewhat uneventful, but that’s a good thing because it means that everyone is safe and having a great time splashing around.

“A lot of your lifeguarding is preventive lifeguarding,” said Beaber, who indicated she scans the top, middle and bottom of the pool from the chair to watch for any danger. “If people are running, we tell them to walk, or stop them from pushing each other around if they are doing things that could lead to serious injury.”

Rachel Tenczar has lifeguarded at Lake Thunderbird for eight summers and said her training teaches her to remain calm even if a swimmer is not.

“The training teaches you things to look out for from the swimmers, prop-

She said while she is on duty, she continually scans the top, middle and bottom of the pool from her lifeguard chair to watch for any dangers or for someone who is struggling. er rescuing techniques and how to remove anybody from the pool,” said Tenczar, who is an American Red Cross Certified Lifeguard Instructor. “You talk to them and say their name and get them to help themselves if they can.”

Ashley Guenther, a third-year lifeguard at Walnut Park District Swimming Pool, said one lifeguard keeps an eye on the deep end of the pool, while another watches the shallow end and the baby pool. As a lifeguard, she has to earn her recertification every two years.

“We have to swim six laps without struggle and capably perform CPR and first aid,” Guenther said, noting most everyone who gets warned to cut back

on their horseplay learns their lesson instead of losing their privilege to the water. “We also have to swim down to the bottom of the pool and put a brick on our backs and bring it up to the surface without it falling off.”

Smith has made a few rescues during her many hours by the pool and said if a rescue is necessary she will blow the whistle to alert the other lifeguards of the situation.

Beaber said people from all around the area travel to Princeton for lifeguard training, adding there are many different ways to approach a swimmer in need, and it’s always important to be cautious, as the struggling swimmer could be injured and is

oftentimes panicked.

“We teach escapes, where the lifeguard goes underwater because the swimmer doesn’t want to again or where you push their arms off of you,” said Beaber, stressing the importance of training to avoid the possible danger of someone flailing in fear.

“If people are freaking out, they’re going to grab anything they can.”

All of the lifeguards agreed their favorite part of the job is teaching people how to swim, especially the children. Beaber said

swim lessons, which range from preschoolers learning the basics to advanced swimmers perfecting their strokes, breathing and endurance, are taught once a month. Smith said they have group swim lessons once a year, and that private lessons are available by appointment at any time.

“We do Aquatots Tuesday nights at 5:30 p.m. for 6 months to 3 year olds, and I can totally see the difference in kids going from Aquatots to swim lessons,” said Beaber, who

Danny Sissel Memorial gives back to children All proceeds benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — “No child shall die in the dawn of life.”

That quote was uttered

by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital founder Danny Thomas.

And now ... many years after Thomas said those words, Colleen Sissel and her late husband, Danny, are helping to support that benevolent mission of helping children live in the face of health adversities.

The third annual Danny Sissel Memorial St. Jude fundraiser, sponsored by the Sissel family, is set for 5:30 p.m. Saturday, July 18, at the Princeton Moose Lodge. Event-goers can take part in a chicken/spaghetti dinner with all the fixings, participate in a drawdown and enjoy an evening of entertainment. Drawdown tickets are $60 per couple and includes the meal and entertainment.

Those not wishing to buy a drawdown ticket are still urged to attend to enjoy the meal and the entertainment for just the cost of the meal.

Those entering the drawdown have the opportunity to win $1,000, $300 and $200.

There will also be a silent auction and many other opportunities to win miscellaneous items, like a Harley Davidson tool chest, food gift certificates, golf outings and more.

Long-time Princeton Police officer Danny Sissel had a liver transplant due to a genetic disease.

He underwent a liver transplant in March 2010.

He recovered from the transplant, but two years later, he was diagnosed with cancer due to Agent Orange, which he was in contact with during the Vietnam War. Sissel died Sept. 22, 2012.

Through his experience with the disease, Colleen said Danny wanted “to help all children look forward to a future ... St. Jude was Danny’s choice to give back to after receiving a liver transplant.

“When we can say we have never needed St. Jude for our family, we are blessed,” continued Colleen. “But when we support St. Jude, our children and grandchildren are blessed. Any child or grandchild could need St. Jude at any point in their lives. Cancer does not care ...”

This year’s guest of honor at the Danny Sissel Memorial Benefit for St. Jude is Ryan Seaworth of Princeton, who has been fighting pre-B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia since Dec. 28, 2012. Ryan still has two more years of treatment at St. Jude in Memphis, Tenn., after which he will have undergone 900 chemotherapy treatments. Ryan will continue to be a family member of St. Jude for the rest of his life.

Colleen said 100 percent of the proceeds from the event will go to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Tickets for just the dinner or the drawdown/ dinner package can be purchased at the door or by calling Colleen at 815875-7782 or at Guys & Gals Salon at 507 S. Main St. in Princeton. The salon’s phone number is 815-875-4075.

A liver transplant followed by a cancer diagnosis due to Agent Orange, which he came into contact with during his service in Vietnam, cut Danny’s life short. He died in September 2012, but Colleen is determined to help his memory live on by hosting the Danny Sissel Memorial Benefit for St. Jude Children’s Memorial Hospital — Danny’s favorite charity.

Fire hydrant issues in Wyanet

PRINCETON — The Princeton Public Library will hold a smart phone program at 11 a.m.

Wednesday, July 22.

The program will include an overview of setting up a smart phone and learning how it

works. The program will be lead by professionals from IV Cellular.

The library is located at 698 E. Peru St., Princeton.

WYANET — The Wyanet Village Board authorized having all of the water lines in the village tested for leaks last month. The board then reviewed the report at the Tuesday, July 14, meeting.

The good news is that no water lines leading into homes are leaking. The bad news is that eight fire hydrants are leaking.

Board President Bruce Hand explained “Replacing the hydrants is very costly.

New hydrants can cost up to $6,000 each. Many of these hydrants are so old, that they can no longer be fixed.”

Last year the village replaced one hydrant that wasn’t working properly near the park. There is another hydrant that will need to be replaced this summer.

Village Engineer Jack Kusek indicated he is not aware of any grants available for fire hydrants, but he will look into whether or not there are kits available to fix the leaking hydrants.

The board approved the purchase of a new computer for the police department.

Chief Todd Marquez indicated his current computer was purchased at least 13 years ago and is no longer working properly.

Hand commended the Community Club on a great Wyanet Festival even with the inclement weather.

The board discussed the slow progress on the new concession stand. Hand explained the work is all being done by volunteers.

It was suggested having a schedule posted, so that volunteers know when help is needed.

In other business, the board approved purchasing decals for the village vehicles.

The next meeting will be Aug. 11 in the village hall.

“How many classrooms do we need?” asked board member Don DeWaele.

“It depends on how you utilize the high school,” said Bureau Valley Superintendent Steve Endress.

“Technically, we have the space to house all the students in the existing (high school) building,” Endress said.

Board member Matt Wiggim questioned the exclusion of a separate library for the junior high students, adding he thought the high school library was not large enough to accommodate the junior high students.

More discussion ensued about intermingling the high school students with the junior high students.

Endress said the idea of co-mingling students was not a “revolutionary concept.” He said the junior high students would have their own commons area, locker rooms, restrooms, gymnasium, and he said the teachers would be on top of controlling the amount of interaction the lower grade students would have with the high school students.

Wiggim again talked about the library and his concerns about adequate space to house the older and younger students.

“Everything comes at a price,” Endress said.

Board member Don King suggested the board do a walk-through of the buildings, get the teachers involved and actually see how many classrooms would be needed, as well as how the existing classrooms were being used or under-used at the high

The speaker for the evening has lived in the Middle East and will share his perspective about this region and how it affects the United States of America. itation at $14 million is not projected to be sufficient.

He called the legislation “antiquated ... a legal hoop you have to jump through.”

“I intend to vote no. I think you all know where I stand on this,” Siltman said, adding comments about the equalized assessed valuation and tax rate of the district.

“If we all knew what the EAV was going to do, we wouldn’t be here tonight,” said board member Don King.

Cernovich, King, Wiggim and Justin Yepsen voted yes. Siltman, DeWaele and Bill Gebeck voted no.

Canvassing the public The board agreed to spend up to $6,000 to send out a survey to registered voters in the district.

The survey was prepared by a canvassing committee, and on Tuesday, was tweaked and approved by the board. Cernovich struggled with the concept of sending out the survey.

“The board has decided the junior high is coming together (in Manlius).

And there’s going to be a new (K-5) school built in the south ... Why ask (the public) to decide what the board has already done?” asked Cernovich.

Siltman agreed with Cernovich on the repetitive nature of the survey.

King called the survey “due diligence.”

DeWaele said maybe the survey should ask if the public supports what the board has already done.

school.

Dollars and sense The board discussed the $5 million to $7 million price tag attached to the new junior high building.

The price is dependent on which square footage and design the board chooses. Much discussion was held regarding the letting of bids to financial institutions, allowing them to bid on what they would be willing to loan the district and at what rate. BV Board President Rick Cernovich said letting bids doesn’t obligate the board.

Board member Kent Siltman said he thinks the board is “getting ahead of ourselves. It seems to me we need solid numbers before we go to bid.”

Siltman and DeWaele both believe the new junior high and the new kindergarten through fifth-grade building in the south part of the district, which the board previously approved, should be a part of the same bid package. DeWaele wanted to hear from the district’s accountant on what the tax rate would be with these endeavors.

It appears the board is looking to finance the junior high building through a commercial loan, however the new elementary school will have to be put to a referendum for the public to decide.

The department’s current dentist will be relocating to another state on Aug 1. Volker encouraged parents with children, who still need a dental exam before the new school year, to schedule an appointment immediately. Volker said the position will be replaced with another dentist provided by the American Dental Society.

Schools, health department and BPART joining forces Volker also mentioned discussions currently going on between the health department, BPART, and private and public schools about how they can join forces to better serve students’ health and education. The organizations are using this opportunity to also look for a joint funding.

Illegal dumping

Interstate Center – Bloomington, Il

Jason L. Taylor, 26, of Dover was charged with illegal dumping at the Princeton Recycling Center at 10:34 p.m. June 29.

PERU — Br. Anthony (Patrick) Shaughnessy, O.S.B., monk of Saint Bede Abbey, died Saturday, July 11, 2015, at St. Joseph Nursing Home in Lacon. He was 84.

The youngest of six children, Br. Anthony was born on March 6, 1931, in Bir- Br. Anthony mingham, Mich., to William Shaughnessy C. and Agnes Shaughnessy and given the name Patrick. He attended Saint Mary’s High School in Royal Oak, Mich., where he played center and nose guard for the football team. It was there that he met his future wife, Margaret Anne Gignac, who was a cheerleader.

They were married in 1952. He graduated with a degree in chemical engineering from the University of Detroit. He had a full career in management and quality control operations with several large engineering firms throughout the Midwest before retiring in Davenport, Iowa.

They were married for 45 years and had 10 children.

His wife passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack in 1997. Patrick was very active in religious studies and served in many lay capacities in his home parishes, and after the death of his wife, he began to explore the Benedictine way of life. After much consideration and prayer, he received the blessing of his children as he entered Saint Bede Abbey in 1999, taking the name Anthony. He professed first vows on Feb. 9, 2001, and his children were present as he took his final vows on July 11, 2004. His family visited Saint Bede often and enjoyed coming to know their patriarch in his new role as a Benedictine monk.

Br. Anthony served at various times as orchard manager, prior and junior mas-

ter, but he especially excelled as director of abbey housekeeping. Among many other projects, he designed and built custom magazine racks for the reading room, supervised the installation of many new windows in the monastery building, and did a thorough energy study which resulted in a significant reduction in costs.

As his health permitted, Br. Anthony continued working on various projects until July of 2014, when injuries sustained from a fall required time in a rehab center. Other injuries as well as complications arising from congestive heart failure necessitated his moving to St. Joseph’s Nursing Home in Lacon in January of 2015, where he died in the late afternoon of July 11.

Br. Anthony took great delight in researching and chronicling the genealogy of both sides of the family, a task which he continued even as his health began to fail. He left his children several volumes of family history, as well as collections of his own spiritual reflections.

He is survived by his children, Jan Kunz, Maureen (Michael) Wallace, Sandy (Dennis) Pajewski, Kathy (David) Griffin, Kevin (Debra) Shaughnessy, Marie (Todd) Harrington, Paul (Molly) Shaughnessy, Karen (Jeff) Garrison, Dan (Sara) Shaughnessy and Amy (Brian) Fontenot. He had 31 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents; three brothers and two sisters; and his son-in-law, Rick Kunz.

His body will be received at the St. Bede Abbey Church at 4 p.m. Thursday, July 16, and visitation will be from 4 to 6:30 p.m. with a prayer vigil at 5:15 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Friday, July 17, at the church by Rt. Rev. Philip Davey, O.S.B., with interment in the abbey cemetery.

Memorial gifts may be directed to Saint Bede Abbey.

St. Margaret’s is pleased to welcome Andrew Zidow, MD to the medical staff.

Dr. Zidow is Board Certified in Family Medicine. As a former LaSalle-Peru Township High School graduate, he has strong ties to the local community in which he serves.

Dr. Zidow obtained his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a Minor in Chemistry from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, followed by University of Illinois College of Medicine in Rockford, IL. He then completed his Residency in Family Medicine at the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Peoria, IL.

Out of this world ... almost My thoughts have been about a new world this week, as Team New Horizons just made a successful flyby mission past dwarf plant Pluto on Tuesday, July 13.

What amazing discoveries we’ve made. We have proven our ability to travel 3 billion miles away —quite the accomplishment.

With this mission, the U.S. is now the only nation in the world to have visited every plant in the classical solar system.

History and science textbooks are about to change with all the new evidence collected from this nineand-one-half-year trip.

With New Horizons’ closest view of Pluto to date, COMMENTARY scientists have already been making new findings about the size, the internal activity and atmosphere of the planet, which all have been difficult for scientists to study from ground telescopes in the past.

The mission has also documented clearer photos and information about Pluto’s five moons, which interestingly enough, it’s said two of the five moons may not even be full sphere shaped.

It’s hard to wrap my mind around this journey, which took off in January 2006. I was still in high school finishing my senior year when the New Horizons team was waving goodbye to the probe. It’s just mind blowing how scientists found a way to keep the probe traveling on path for nearly a decade.

I’m wondering what all the new information will do for future research. It’s said scientists will be downloading information for more than a year and analyzing it for a generation.

With the already discovery of the planet size being much larger than believed, some scientists are already preparing new arguments for Pluto’s place as the ninth planet in our solar system. Pluto was demoted to a dwarf planet in 2006.

As time goes on, it’s interesting to think about how these new discoveries are going to change our culture.

Will Hollywood’s next space adventure take place on Pluto? Will fiction writers take inspiration from this exploration to come up with the next best selling novel?

Maybe most importantly, how is this going to change the way the world views the U.S.?

Dwayne Day, a space historian, recently gave his opinion on that topic. In the Space Review, he wrote: “NASA is one of the greatest goodwill ambassadors that the U.S. has. NASA demonstrates American ingenuity and quality and capability. It is the ultimate example of soft power, convincing other countries that the U.S. is a country to be admired and befriended,” he writes. “This is not a big thing, not a ratchet of a gear in global power politics. But this flyby, this accomplishment, adds a marker in the plus column for America’s standing in the world.”

I’m left wondering what’s going to be the next space exploration? We’ve already explored all nine planets.

Was this mission just a step in discovering what’s beyond our solar system? I guess only time will tell.

Fun Facts about the New Horizons mission • Distance travelled by New Horizons probe was 3 billion miles.

• Speed of the probe was 34,000 MPH. • Time taken for the journey was nine years.

• New Horizons probe is as big as a grand piano.

• The probe runs on a nuclear battery.

• New photos of Pluto were taken about 7,800 miles above its surface.

• The mission cost comes in at around $728 million.

• Nine mementos traveled aboard New Horizons including a sample of American astronomer Clyde W. Tombaugh’s ashes, who first discovered Pluto 85 years ago; a 1991 U.S. postage stamp that says, Pluto Not Yet Explored; two state quarters —Maryland and Florida— representing the headquarters for flight control and launch site.

If you were stranded on a deserted island and could have just one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be: Something with shrimp and lobster. I guess I will have to

If you could change one thing about your town, what would it be: Have more places and things for the teens and young people to go and to do.

‘He knew you would rock it’ The billboard I’m driving up on, the magazine page I’m about to turn to, the aisle cap I’m walking toward … is more than likely about to tell me how it can change a part of me for the better. I’ll probably read the ad and even consider it for a second or two, start to question myself and feel the slightest itch of disappointment. And if the ad-makers are really good at their jobs, my already shaky sense of confidence will begin to dwindle, and I’ll reach the conclusion that I have to have whatever they are trying to sell me …

I’d like to then flash a smirk and shout, “Fooled ya! You think I’d fall for that nonsense? No way, I’m just the way I’m supposed to be.” But unfortunately, I often fall for the trap a lot more than I should.

I look at those posters and think, wow, I wish my skin were that dark, or I see that beaming girl and think, if only I could talk that easily to people or make them laugh like she can. My two greatest insecurities smack me in the face and knock me silly, plummeting all of my incredible strengths straight to the ground ... I suddenly have amnesia about all of the blessings God has given me, like my loving family, my bright mind, my long, blonde hair, my big, bright smile; all things that people complement me about over and over, but they suddenly elude me when the devil snares me in his sneaky traps.

Oh, how fragile our egos can be.

How lacking faith in the one who created us and in His infinite love for each and every one of us. I used to think that I was flawed because

Danae Ross COMMENTARY

of my pale, white-washed skin and because I wasn’t outgoing and great with words. I saw those as the things I had to change. But why would God give me those traits if they were “defective?” Did He go, “Whoops, screwed that one up a little … Oh well, I’ll do better on the next one.” God doesn’t make mistakes. Ever.

Psalm 139 says, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made … My frame was not hidden from you when I was made … Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”

Just let that sink in for a moment.

God carefully designed each and every little trait that we have, and He loves every one of them with a crazy, unbelievable love. None of them are mistakes. They make us who we are. They might not always be what we want or what the world tells us we should have, but they are perfect. We can have confidence in our differences because we are each uniquely God’s protected creation, wonderfully matchless and each having our own purpose.

My fair skin might be a glaring sight on the beach, but it might just

be the one quality that connects me to another sweet soul, allowing me to share God’s wonderful love and giving them a sense of confidence and a beaming smile that can only come from resting in our heavenly father’s comforting arms.

God has done His part, but now it’s my turn. I must have faith in His flawless plan, and I must make choices that reflect such a faith and a love for glorifying Him. I cannot wallow in my self-pity, be jealous of another’s qualities, or become angry when my unique features are brought to light in less than admirable ways.

To put it in a different light … ”Imagine this: You just painted the most beautiful picture you have ever painted. It is exactly what you wanted. You absolutely love it! The person you give it to constantly point out the flaws … How does that make you feel? God is the painter, and you are the person it has been given to.”

So my goal for us is to take that trait or two that just constantly eats away at us and pray, first off, God, you so greatly love this part of me.

Help me to love it too. And then consider … how can I use this to glorify my heavenly father? Why did He give me such a unique characteristic?

You know why I think He did?

Because He obviously knew you would rock it. He believes in you, He loves you, and He’s got your back every step of the way.

TO Letter THE Editor

‘It’s what small town living is all about’ To the Editor, I was so disappointed when I read a Letter to the Editor in the July 14 BCR. The author stated, “We were appalled at how our hometown is” after visiting for her 55th class reunion this past weekend.

I’m not sure just what was so appalling to her; the fact that probably 100-plus people worked together for months for this past weekend festival? The fact that the R.A. Sapp Memorial Library was celebrating 100

years this weekend, and again many, many volunteers have kept the library viable and a wonderful asset to our town for a century? The fact the two museums are open here in town, making for two wonderful places to visit to keep our history alive and real? The fact that our population has remained steady with young families in town, working families and retirees living next to each other, enjoying the benefits from knowing and liking your neighbors? The fact that we have a wonderful fire department and rescue unit? The fact that while there are empty buildings in a one-block area of Main Street; there are many other

profitable businesses making Wyanet a place we are happy to live? Yes, our high school building is gone, but we are governed by a school board that makes decisions that may not be popular with all, but that is the way it worked out.

I hope people will take the time to drive through Wyanet and look at the whole town with pride and see that sense of a real community. Granted, Wyanet is not like it was 55 years ago, but thankfully, we continue to grow and learn just what small town living is all about.

If it’s a nice evening, visitors of all ages may want to bring along size-appropriate lawn chairs as Andre drifts around the crowd, delighting his listeners with entertaining and historical tales.

In the early part of the evening, those who have not yet seen the David Horst’s exhibit of photography and vintage cameras from his personal collection will want to step into the Timeline Hallway at the Museum on Main.

Andre St. Pierre (aka Andy Talley, a storyteller from Crystal Lake), will present “Short Stories to Tall Tales, at 6:30 p.m. Saturday.

30 years to help further students’ education at the post secondary level.

Interest earned from the invested Edith I. Boyd estate is used for the scholarships. A local committee composed of four community members, one faculty member and an administrator determine the amount to be expended and allocated.

BCRTA hears from Zarvel, Maciejewski PRINCETON — The May 21 luncheon meeting of the Bureau County Retired Teachers Association (BCRTA) was held at the Princeton Public Library.

Paul Ernst, president of BCRTA, conducted the business meeting. Mary Michael, secretary, presented the minutes of the April 18 meeting. Bea Coates, treasurer, gave the treasurer’s report. Bob Baker, membership chairperson, gave a report on new changes relevant for the Illinois Retired Teachers Association membership affecting current retirees and future retirees.

Ernst discussed the recent success of the successful lawsuit pertaining to the constitutionality of the SB1 Pension Reform bill. Several handouts were distributed summarizing the issues and the position Illinois Supreme Court justices took relevant to their decision protecting pensions for Illinois teachers.

BCRTA members who attended the Area 1 Conference on May 19 reported on numerous issues teachers should keep a watchful eye on pertaining to any new reforms legislators may be studying to submit in the near future. Retirees stand alone compared to those actively teaching.

Guest speakers were Angie Zarvel, superintendent, Regional Office of Education, and Peg Maciejewski, Princeton Police officer.

Zarvel emphasized how her office can assist retired and current teachers with licensing issues. The Illinois State Board of Education encourages both to make use of the ISBE website to register teaching licenses.

The ROE office can assist working teachers with changes in renewal requirements that were effective in 2014. Good news for retired teachers is that they can renew their license for part-time teaching without a registration fee. The ROE office assists districts with issues relevant to teaching and assessing the Illinois Learning Standards and any new assessments.

Zarvel also provided a brief overview of a much talked about movement

Referred to as Vision 20/20, it presents a vision to action for education in Illinois.

As public educators, they believe public education works. They reject the premise that education in Illinois has failed, but recognize its impact has not been equitably delivered to all student populations and that there are opportunities for continuous improvement.

Zarvel emphasized talking with any school superintendent, teacher, board member or concerned citizens and parents to learn more. She is also happy to discuss education issues with those who call on her.

Maciejewski spoke on behalf of Community Partners Against Substance Abuse. She said youth are using prescription drugs more than narcotic drugs, such as marijuana. Prescription drugs are found in the family’s medicine cabinet, and as a result young people are taking them and using them to get high. There are more overdoses from prescription drugs used to get high than there are from all the narcotic-controlled substances combined. She emphasized it is important to keep prescription drugs in a locked medicine cabinet.

Maciejewski emphasized it is important to keep prescription pills out of the hands of young people and also out of the water system.

Many drugs are found to

pollute 80 percent of creeks and rivers in Illinois. Thus, the “Take Back Program” was started. Prescription Pill and Drug Disposal Program – P2D2. It is a drug disposal program that will allow communities to safely dispose of unwanted or expired prescription and nonprescription medicines.

It is a collaborative effort between local pharmacies, police and sheriff departments, hospitals, health officials, local governments, and more.

There are many disposal sites throughout the two counties. They also sponsor Drug Disposal days. Look for the P2D2 Disposal Drop boxes. Sites are listed in the newspapers and broadcast over the radio. Since 2010 more than 7,000 pounds of medicines have been accepted and incinerated.

Locations for a P2D2 Box in Princeton are located at the Princeton Police Department, Bureau County Sheriff Office and Jail, Princeton Pharmacy and Perry Memorial Hospital.

Those having questions about the program can contact CPASA at the Bureau-Putnam Health Department 526 Bureau Valley Parkway, Princeton, or call 815-872-5091, ext.

The next BCRTA luncheon meeting will be at noon Thursday, Sept.

17, at the Princeton Public Library. Jim Bachman, director of Illinois Retired Teachers Association, will be the speaker.

The Illinois Valley YMCA Tumbling and Trampoline Team sent 28 athletes to the 2015 USTA National Championships in Rapid City, S.D.

Area girls compete at Nationals

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

The Illinois Valley YMCA Tumbling and Trampoline Team recently returned from a successful trip to the 2015 USTA National Championships in Rapid City, S.D. The team sent 28 athletes to Nationals who had qualified by placing in the Top 15 in at least one of three events at the USTA Northern Illinois State meet in Belvidere. Illinois Valley Tumbling and Trampoline placed 31st out of 106 teams. The team brought home 35 Top 10 trophies, including two national champions, Karleen Camenisch of Peru for Novice 13-14 and Cale Strouss of Mendota, for Intermediate 8 and under.

Local competitors for IVTT included Morgan Forristall, Taylor Wetsel, Lilyann Keutzer, Christine Sierens and Kiana Brokaw from Princeton, Emma and Olivia Novero of Spring Valley, and Brooklyn Brester and Miley Dolder of Granville.

Wetsel placed third in double-mini trampoline and fourth in tumbling (Sub-Advanced 11-12s).

Forristall placed fourth in double-mini trampoline (Novice 10s).

Brokaw placed fourth in tumbling and 10th in

trampoline (Intermediate 9-10s).

Keutzer was second in tumbling (Novice 9s).

Emma Novero was third in tumbling (Beginner 4), second in double-mini trampoline (Beginner 4) and 10th in tumbling (Sub-Beginner 4s) Olivia Novero was ninth in trampoline (Intermediate, 11-12s).

See page 13 for complete IVTT results.

Hannah Mueschlegel of Princeton also competed at nationals representing Patti’s Gym in Kewanee.

This is the first year she qualified for and attended nationals.

Mueschlegel won her flight for tumbling, placing second place overall in the nation for all 10-yearold novice girls. She was fourth in her flight for double-mini, finishing eighth overall.

Rainy days damper summer sports season Rain, rain go away, come back another day.

Well, that other day just seems to keep coming and coming.

I can’t remember a rainier summer, in my 28 years coaching summer ball of some sort between Little League baseball, T-ball and softball, as this year.

Jerry Fairbanks, who’s been running the Walnut Park District and Western Bureau Valley League, much longer, says he can’t remember a rainier sum-

Kevin Hieronymus HIERONYMUS’ HYPOTHESIS

mer in recent years.

Our girls softball team has got one game in the past three weeks, and that was a makeup game. When we tried to reschedule a game with one

of the other Princeton teams for the third time Monday, of course it rained again.

It’s hard to complain really when you know what’s going on with the devastating drought out west where everybody is begging for rain, and driving some celebrities to “borrow” water for his yard.

I just wish we could schedule that rain to come after the games or early in the morning, so we can get those games in at night.

I’ve always believed the Good Lord has a way of slowing us down from all our busy activities and ballgames by bringing rain.

As a write this Tuesday afternoon, there appears to be blue skies outside the BCR office windows on the north side of Princeton. Of course, it’s not quite game time, either.

Fairbanks said, “Let’s hope God is wanting to watch some ball tonight.”

• Home Run Derby: How’d

you like that new Home Run Derby format Monday? I loved it.

I know baseball is the only game without a game clock, which makes it an unique sport.

Having a time clock for the Derby helped in that it took away having to watch the batters take pitch after pitch just because they weren’t exactly in their sweet spot. The more swings the better in my opinion.

The Frazier brothers made it

Hieronymus From Page 12 look like clock work with Charlie throwing rapid fire to his brother, Todd, the Derby winner. Every time the TV showed one ball going out, they quickly had to refocus the camera to find another one of Frazier’s bombs.

The head-to-head bracketing format, which created some interesting 1-on-1 battles like the old vet Albert Pujols vs. rookies Kris Bryant and Joc Pederson, Todd Frazier vs. Prince Fielder, was another refreshing twist You just have to love the family affair the Derby brings with father and son (the Bryants) and the brothers tandem (the Fraziers).

What a joy that has to bring to those families. I can just imagine all the countless hours Mike Bryant has pitched over the years to son his Kris, the new Cub phenom. Made me think of the all the time my pop pitched and threw soft toss to me. To do that at the All-Star Game was, as they say, is priceless.

All in all, it created some new excitement in the Derby. I can’t wait ‘til next year’s already.

An online poll by the Chicago Tribune showed 80 percent of their readers liked it as well. How about you? Let me know your thoughts.

Father, son open Enduro Suspension & Performance Freemans service motorcycles, four-wheelers and quads

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Michael Freeman Sr. has opened Enduro Suspensions & Performance (ESP) at 969 Backbone Road West in Princeton.

Freeman is joined at the business with his son, Michael Freeman Jr., who is the parts guy.

“Ninety percent of my customers are from the Prophetstown area,” he

said. “We like to get more customers in the Princeton area by opening this place.”

The Freemans mainly do suspension and motor work for street and offroad bikes, four-wheelers and quad runners.

“We also do tires and sell tires,” he added. “We also sell race fuel and help motocross riders set up their suspensions.”

Freeman comes from a racing background and likes to help out other rac-

ers at tracks for no charge.

He also has more than 20 years of mechanical experience.

The hours for the business are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays. He is also available during off hours because Freeman only lives three blocks away from the business.

For more information, call 815-503-2654 (Freeman Sr.’s cell) or 815-9158586 (shop’s number). The business’ website address is www.endurosuspension.com.

PRINCETON — Perry Memorial Hospital in Princeton, the first hospital in the Interstate 80 corridor to be designated as Emergent Stroke Ready, has received its re-designation as an Emergent Stroke Ready Hospital (ESRH) from the Illinois Department of Public Health.

“This re-designation ensures that all stroke patients, regardless of where they live, have access to rapid care within the narrow treatment window,” said Rex Conger, CEO. Stroke re-designation for Perry Memorial Hospital means that patients will continue to have local access to the care needed beginning the moment they enter the

hospital to the time the life-saving drug is administered within the recommended 60-minute treatment window.

In 2009, the Illinois General Assembly passed MB2244, allowing the creation of stroke systems of care in Illinois. The law identifies hospitals capable of providing emergent stroke care and directs EMS to transport possible acute stroke patients to these hospitals. If, however, the closest hospital has not received its Emergent Stroke Ready Hospital designation, EMS personnel may divert that patient to the next closest designated hospital.

As an Emergent Stroke Ready Hospital, PMH has a

telehealth connection with a neurologist at one or more larger primary stroke hospitals within the state.

This telehealth connection allows the specialist to evaluate the patient and make treatment recommendations.

“To receive re-designation, the hospital had to submit our quality plan and emergency department stroke log attesting that we are meeting the time requirements set forth in the law,” stated Conger. Perry Memorial Hospital was the first hospital in the area to receive emergent stroke ready designation and is now the first to be offered and receive re-designation status.

St. Margaret’s Hospital adds Dr. Angeles to staff SPRING VALLEY — St. Margaret’s Hospital is welcoming Dexter Angeles, MD, to the medical staff, effective Aug. 1.

Dr. Angeles, an internal medicine physician, will be working with Dr. Inciong initially, until Dr. Inciong transitions to his new role as a hospitalist.

He will see patients at the Midtown Health Center in Peru and the Oglesby Clinic. Appointments can be made by calling 815223-0203.

Born in the Philippines,

Dr. Angeles earned a degree in economics and spent time as a network consultant in Orland Angeles Park, before returning to school in 2003.

He graduated Summa Cum Laude from IVCC in 2005 with an associate degree in biology.

Dr. Angeles then attended the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where he obtained his

bachelor’s degree in integrative biology, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2007. He attended medical school in the West Indies at St. George’s University School of Medicine, and has just completed his residency program at New York Methodist Hospital in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Music, music ...and more Music on Main SHEFFIELD — If you’re looking for a fun family activity that will cause everyone to leave with a smile on their face, you’ll want to head to Sheffield on Saturday, July 18, for the fifth annual Music on Main event. The festival is sponsored by Sheffield Pride.

While music on Sheffield’s Main Street is the crux of this festival, the afternoon and evening holds much more than a beer tent and music. A host of new and renewed activities will encourage event-goers of all ages to get involved in the fun.

The activities begin at 2 p.m., when children (adults can participate too) will enjoy a Wet and Wacky Race, where everyone will have fun with an obstacle course at Veterans-School Park filled with watery fun and pools of Jell-O. Registration begins at 1:30 p.m.; the event is sponsored by the Cornerstone Community Wellness Center. At 3 p.m., there will be water battles for the children at the Sheffield Fire Station. Later, there will also be a pie eating contest for adults and children. The winning adult will win $100, and there will be prizes for children in their respective age categories. A children’s pedal pull will also be part of the fun.

The gates for the downtown Music on Main open at 5 p.m. The entrance fee is $6, and children 12 and under are free. A host of area food vendors will provide some great eats, and beer, wine and cocktails will be available.

The actual music begins at 6 p.m. when the Lizzi Neal Band takes the stage with its rhythm and blues/bluesy rock and roll music. That band will be followed by Forgotten Highway, a country band that will play until midnight.

The public is invited.

Caravans celebrate the 30th anniversary of the I&M Canal National Heritage Area The Canal Corridor Association (CCA) will culminate its year-long celebration of the 30th anniversary of the nation’s first Heritage Area with three caravans along the I&M Canal. These three opportunities to explore the I&M Canal Area between Chicago and LaSalle will take place in August and highlight 20 locations unique to Illinois history, each including its own guided tour.

“We are proud to offer these caravans as an opportunity to ‘taste’ the experiences available in the I&M Canal National Heritage Area,” said Ana Koval, AICP, president of the CCA. “It’s important for Illinois residents

to discover history and explore nature in their own backyard. We’re urging folks to fill their cars with friends and family, and join the CCA in a day of good, old-fashioned road trip fun.”

Last fall, the CCA kicked off the 30th anniversary celebration with a twoday caravan that visited 15 different sites. This event was a tremendous success, and attracted more than 170 participants.

This year’s one-day caravans will take place on three consecutive Saturdays, Aug. 8, 15 and 22.

Registration is required, and can be completed by visiting www.canalcor. org, or by calling 815-2231851.

Scheduled stops will include the following locations and options: On Saturday, Aug. 8, the caravan starts with a tour of the canal’s eastern terminus at Origins Park, and will include a walking tour of Bronzeville, followed by a soul-food lunch at Pearl’s Place and a walking tour of the Pullman National Monument. At that point, everyone will hop back in their cars and head to the Chicago Portage National Historic Site in Lyons for a guided tour of Chicago’s Birthplace. The first caravan finishes with a cookout at the Santa Fe Prairie, an oasis of nature in an urban atmosphere and the birthplace of the Prairie Restoration move-

ment.

The second caravan will take place the following Saturday, Aug. 15. The first stop, Isle a la Cache in Romeoville, will transport our “caravaners” back to the 1600’s when French fur traders first explored the area. From there it’s on to view the collection of photos and documents about the canal’s early history at the I&M Canal Adelmann Archives at Lewis University near Lockport. In nearby downtown Joliet, the caravans will take the walking tour that winds through the ruins of the old Joliet steel mill. After lunch there will be an exclusive, behind the scenes tour at Brandon Lock and Dam

in Joliet, followed by a visit to I&M canal locks 6 and 7, as well as the dam and locktenders house at Channahon State Park.

The day finishes off with a tour of the historic Evergreen Cemetery in Morris.

The third and final caravan will take place on Saturday, Aug. 22, beginning with a visit to the Carbon Hill School Museum, then on to a tour and hike through the breathtaking Goose Lake Prairie. At Gebhard Woods the group will learn about the management of the I&M Canal by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. After lunch, a “behind the scenes” tour of the Marseilles Hydroelectric plant, followed by

panoramic views of the Illinois River at Buffalo Rock State Park, will be featured. The final site of the third caravan will be a stop at the Illinois Waterway Center to witness the mighty waterway that was built to replace the I&M Canal. Afterwards, join the CCA for a cocktail party at the Lock 16 Center in downtown LaSalle celebrating the closing of the 30th anniversary year.

Persons or organizations interested in additional information about the Illinois & Michigan Canal National Heritage Area or the 30th anniversary canal caravans, or to receive updates, can visit www.canalcor.org or call 815-223-1851.
