Z-TOUR SETS RECORDS The annual Z-Tour Bike Ride, a fundraiser for the Zearing Child Enrichment Center in Princeton, broke records on Saturday, July 16, when approximately 700 riders took to one of the courses ranging from 10 to 100 miles. Near-perfect weather, many volunteers and even more riders helped to make it an all-time record event, though the actual amount raised is still being tabulated. Riders came from all over Bureau County, the state of Illinois and beyond. Refreshments and entertainment completed the day.

Not guilty plea from Miller 23-year-old charged with failure to report accident involving death

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton woman accused of leaving the scene of an accident after striking another woman with her vehicle and causing death was indicted by the Bureau County grand jury on Friday, July 15.

Haylee Miller, 23, appeared in court later that day for her arraignment where she pleaded not guilty before Bureau County Circuit Judge Marc Bernabei. She was represented by assistant public defender Brad Popurella.

Many of Miller’s family and friends were present for the arraignment. Miller cried and was visibly shaking during the proceedings.

During the court appearance, Bernabei read Miller’s formal charge, failure to report an accident involving death, which is a Class 1 felony. If convicted, Miller could be sentenced anywhere between four and 15 years in prison. She could also face court fines totaling $25,000.

Miller is still in custody having not posted bond, which was set at $50,000.

Bernabei explained if Miller was able to post bond before her next court appearance, she would be responsible for appearing in court on that date. If she did not appear, a warrant would be issued for her arrest.

A pretrial date was set for 1:15 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 7, with a jury trial date set for 9 a.m. Monday, Sept. 26.

As previously reported, Miller allegedly struck April Williams, 31, of Princeton. Williams later died from injuries sustained in the accident. The accident occurred on Route 6 near the Hillview Trailer Court at 11:15 p.m. Sunday, June 26.

The following day, Miller turned herself in to Princeton Police, where she was placed under arrest.

At Miller’s first appearance, an eyewitness came forward and stated they observed Williams being struck by the vehicle.

On the move with Pokemon Go

PRINCETON — There’s a reason we all salivate when the butter melts on the delicious sweet corn or fresh green beans during dinner, and anticipate the juicy flavor of a bowl of ripe strawberries — because they are not only heavenly to the taste buds, but healthy for the body. And where does all this nutrition begin its journey to our well-being?

From the ground up.

GPS games offers exercise, instead of sitting indoors

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Pokemon monsters have invaded the county, and it’s up to people in our area to catch them all.

Whether through social media or word on the street, it seems everyone is talking about the new Pokemon Go app, which was just released this month.

The game encourages players to get active and explore their communi-

ties by using the GPS system on their phone to hunt down and capture virtual Pokemon. If you’ve seen people out walking around, holding their phones like a compass, most likely they are out there on the hunt.

Many players like how the games gets them out and about, and a lot of parents are happy to see their children being active as they search for the Pokemon.

Kauffman said there are 40 to 60 very talented growers participating in the program, which was boosted by a federal grant through the health department to promote local growers and food markets.

Blast off!

Students from Bureau, Putnam and LaSalle counties who are entering the sixth grade were able to take part in Carus’ 2016 Summer Science Camp this past week at Peru Catholic School. This was the 15th year for the free camp, and it included multiple types of water and air-powered rocket launching and several other interactive experiments.

Rezin appointed to bipartisan commission to reform school funding formula State Sen. Sue Rezin (R-Peru) will serve on the Illinois School Funding Reform Commission, after being appointed by Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno (R-Lemont).

The commission is tasked with recommending a comprehensive solution to reform Illinois’ school funding formula.

Gov. Bruce Rauner first made the announcement of the new commission in Chicago July 12.

“Illinois’ education funding formula is flawed and in need of serious reform,” Rezin said. “Ensuring schools in the 38th Senate District are always properly funded and the school funding formula is equita-

ble across the state is critical. Education funding has been a top issue of mine since I took office. I am looking forward to working with my colleagues in the House and Senate from both sides of the aisle and the administration. We need to work together to craft a solution that makes the state’s funding formula work well and makes every student a priority.”

Rezin previously served as a member of the bipartisan Education Funding Advisory Committee (EFAC) and currently serves as a member of the Illinois Senate Education Committee.

“The earlier we can fix the funding formula, the

better,” Rezin said. “By working in a bipartisan fashion, I am confident we can find a solution that the education community will deem fair and one that will help students reach their potential in the classroom.”

The commission will be composed of five designees from the administration and five members from each of the legislative caucuses. Secretary of Education Beth Purvis will chair the commission.

The commission’s report is due to the governor and general assembly by Feb. 1, 2017. Rezin said the goal is to have the General Assembly take action on a proposal in 2017.

Land From Page 1 “Our farmers are involved in growing local food and raising animals all the way to the point of butcher. They are intentionally using practices centered around sustainability, soil health and creating really nutrient-rich foods,” Kauffman said, noting the western third of Bureau County is a food desert, meaning people have limited access to food and nutritional resources.

“We have some of the best food in the world growing here in Bureau County, but a lot of our most sophisticated growers are sending that food into Chicago or the suburbs where people are willing to pay for it,” she said, adding there is some amazing soil native to the area. “Part of what we want to do is bring it home. People in the suburbs understand the value of the food, but we also want Bureau County residents to buy into growing, selling and consuming those quality products here.”

All human beings need to eat, but the cheap, industrialized system of dispersing mega-food with minimal nutrition and maximum calories is not good, Kauffman added, emphasizing the “culture” in agriculture.

“The farmer’s markets could be part of a cultural experience because you’re getting to know the farmers and their food,” she said, noting the United Nations has set up these sustainable development goals that are the benchmarks for everything in international development right now. “Eliminate hunger and increase food security through sustainable agriculture —

that’s exactly what we’re trying to do right here.”

Kauffman said monumental studies on nutrition have concluded one thing more than anything else … the more fruits and vegetables you eat, the healthier you are. Eating across the color spectrum of naturally-occurring colors maximizes health, and manufacturers know that, so they spend a lot of money on colorful packaging and artificial coloring, but are essentially handing out toxins in a box.

“My grandparents grew up farming, and they canned everything; so they ate what they grew,” Kauffman shared, noting Illinois residents used to eat more than three-quarters of what they grew 100 years ago; now they are estimated to eat around 10 percent of what they grow. “With From the Ground Up I’m trying to create this consortium of growers in this area committed to a certain level of excellence who are known for their reputation, and we’re getting that in the food world.”

The Bureau and Putnam County Health Department wants to be a health and wellness

center reducing and preventing chronic diseases.

Kauffman said the things that are killing and disabling us — diabetes, cancer, heart disease and obesity — are by and large nutritionally-related.

“We don’t just want to get people to the farmer’s market, although that is a goal, but rather we want grandparents teaching grandkids about gardening and canning and exercise while tending to the crops,” Kauffman said, noting Chicago is a big city with many resources, so we shouldn’t be sitting around asking ourselves where the jobs are. “There are people with money so close by, and they value what we have.”

Kauffman encouraged people to check out www. bchealthdepartment.org/ fromthegroundup.php or visit facebook.com/ fromthegroundup.bpchd to research the loyalty program and mentioned a Farm to Table dinner at the barn at Hornbaker Gardens Wednesday, Sept. 28.

“If we don’t have loyal customers, our growers can’t keep doing what they’re doing.”

Pokemon From Page 1 Michael Kramer, a sophomore at Princeton High School, rode his bike 10 miles within the first two days of playing the game.

Kramer said the game has gotten him out seeing things in his community he never knew were there before.

As a Pokemon fan, Kramer said the new app version of the game, which forces you to get out of your home to play, makes Pokemon seem more real than playing it on a video game at home.

Pat Reynolds of Princeton said she plays the game because her older kids, now ages 21 and 26, used to play the Pokemon card game when they were little. Now her 15-yearold son is playing the new app game and is always wanting to go for walks to

Bureau County Republican • bcrnews.com search for the Pokemon.

“I actually have more interaction with my kids than I did before. I think this actually promotes fitness because I have seen a lot of kids out walking around and having fun, instead of in the house in front of a TV playing games,” she said. “It’s still playing a game but has fitness with it.”

Lara Schneider, a mother of three, agrees the game does promote fitness. She was excited to see the game got her kids outside exploring this summer.

Her oldest son, Niklas, 11, said he discovered the game through the Internet.

Also, many of his friends were talking about it.

He said he doesn’t play the game because it’s Pokemon, but rather he plays for the adventure of getting out and seeing where the app will lead him. The Schneider family goes out hunting togeth-

er. Since downloading the game, they have walked and driven miles around their community searching for the Pokemon.

Although the game requires players to use technology to navigate and play the game, Lara said it’s still nice that it’s something the whole family can do together outside and have fun while doing it.

While the game has many positive features, police in other communities have reminded players to play smart and stay safe.

Police have reminded players to watch their surroundings when they are playing to avoid tripping, falling or causing an accident. Players are reminded to not be on their cell phones while driving.

Police have also reminded parents to be cautious when letting children play alone after dark.

IDVA asks for nominations of Veteran/Business of the Year SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs is asking for nominations for the Illinois Veterans’ Patriotic Volunteer and Appreciation Award and the Illinois Veterans’ Business Appreciation Award.

“These awards highlight the wonderful work being done for our veterans,” said IDVA Director Erica Jeffries. “The Veteran Patriotic Award honors the work of an Illinois Veteran whose contributions in service to the veteran community and their local communities are truly above and beyond. The Illinois Veterans’ Business Appreciation Award highlights and honors the work of any business, organization or a non-profit that has significantly helped veterans, and whose contributions to those who have served our country are docu-

mented and deserve to be recognized.”

Award recipients are those whose efforts add to the powerful narrative that veterans are dedicated, life-long servants whose efforts benefit Illinois’ veteran communities. The Business Appreciation award is designed to highlight and honor those businesses or organizations that go above and beyond the regular call of service to support our veterans.

The nomination deadline is July 29. For more information on both of these awards and a nomination form go to http://go.usa.gov/chEmV. The Veteran Volunteer of the Year and the Illinois Business Appreciation Award will be announced and presented on Veterans Day at the Illinois State Fair, Aug. 14.

Meeting Minutes Ohio Grade School OHIO — The Ohio Grade School Board met in regular session on Tuesday, June 21. The following business was conducted: • Began the regular board meeting immediately following the amended budget hearing.

• Approved the agenda as presented, the minutes of the May 17 meeting as presented, the May treasurer’s report, students’ activity report and bills and payroll.

• Discussed setting up criteria for teachers to follow when choosing Academic Awards for eighthgrade graduation. President Robert Albrecht asked principal Jason Wilt to meet with Mrs. Hamilton and teachers and bring back a criteria list for the board to review and approve.

• Approved to pay additional bills prior to end of the fiscal year.

• Adopted a prevailing wage resolution.

• Approved amended budget as discussed in the amended budget hearing.

Superintendent’s Report: • 2016 IASB Joint Annual Conference School Board Convention. This year’s event is on Nov.1820 in Chicago.

• Building maintenance update: Windows are complete except for the two staircase windows, which the company forgot to order. Sharon Sweger held back the money for payment when they are complete. Shades have been ordered for the installed windows and the installer is coming on Friday; maintenance personnel have been busy. Robb Kleist has painted bathrooms, a desk for the new superintendent and other projects that needed to be finished. Bart Piper has been working on cutting off the old pipe coming through the floors that was no longer used which will make the flooring project easier. He has also emptied the P.E. storage room to wax the floors. Stephanie Farrell is busy cleaning classrooms upstairs, and Sean Piper has been cleaning lockers, garbage cans, etc.

• Since the school was able to complete the windows out of this year’s budget, the new superintendent should be able to purchase the bleachers out of next year’s budget. The grade school share would be $31,272. The building committee will discuss whether to have the bleachers open with electricity or manually. Albrecht suggested this question be taken to the building committee and then brought back to the board. Sweger talked to the bleacher company; it takes 12 weeks for the bleachers to come in once they are ordered and five days to install. They will need to demo the old bleachers to save more than $7,000. Several board members and community members have volunteered for the demo project. Someone mentioned they would like some of the wood planks to make into a dining room table. Sweger and Piper discussed repairing the wood floor and wax prior to the new bleacher installation. For this reason it is possible for the whole process to take four weeks.

Sweger is suggesting this project be scheduled for next summer.

• The School Foundation provided $500 for two teachers to use. High school English was able to purchase novel sets, and the new first grade teacher received some of the money to purchase things she may need for her new classroom.

tion report which Sweger is working on this week.

• The new bookkeeper and treasurer have been training and it is going well.

• Each year the Illinois State Board of Education reviews the special education services provided by the district. They look at eight different categories to make sure the district is in compliance and not over or under serving students. Again this year, both districts received a 4.0 rating, which is a perfect score.

Principal’s Report: • The 21st Century Community Learning Center had a variety of activities planned for the students for the summer. It is for kindergarten through eighth and will be three weeks of programming.

• The school had seven students on the fourth quarter high honor roll and five on honor roll.

• After talking with coaches and Sweger, the school has decided to schedule girls’ and boys’ basketball games at 5 p.m. for next season. Administrators feel it will give students time to go to Homework Hall if needed and parents time to get home from work.

• There is a new Safety Concussions Act the school will be following this year. One of the requirements is implementing a committee. The committee must have a nurse, teacher, coach and AD. This committee’s one responsibility will be setting each student’s baseline, determining if a student has a concussion, when can they return to play or when they can return to learn after a concussion.

Following executive session, the board: • Approved to release the executive session minutes from the May 17 board meeting.

• Tabled non-certified raises and principal Jason Wilt’s raise.

• Approved for Joann Bowman to receive reimbursement for continued education in library sciences at $140 per credit hour.

• Approved, with regrets, the five-year notification of intent to retire from Jill Thompson. Thompson’s last school year would be 2020-21. Thompson will be placed on the incentive track.

The next scheduled meeting will be held Tuesday, July 19, at 7 p.m. in the downstairs computer lab.

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) received a request to extend the public comment period in this matter for 30 days. Pursuant to the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan, 40 CFR §300.430(f )(3)(i)(C), Illinois EPA, as the lead agency, is extending the comment period for 30 additional days. Since extension of the comment period for 30 additional days would have the comment period end on a non-business day, the comment period in this matter has been extended through Monday, August 15, 2016. Comments postmarked on or before August 15, 2016 will be considered by the Illinois EPA. E-mail comments are to be sent to epa.publichearingcom@illinois.gov and must be received no later than August 15, 2016 and should state “New Jersey Zinc/ Mobil Chemical Superfund Site Proposed Plan” in the subject line.

From the editor’s desk It’s a big week for many young people in Bureau County, as the 2016 Bureau County 4-H Fair rolls into town. Held at the Bureau County Fairgrounds in Princeton, hundreds of area youth will showcase a myriad of projects — many of which they have worked on for the past Terri 12 months.

Simon If you get a chance, take an hour or two COMMENTARY and head on out to the fairgrounds, where you’ll see some great, hard-working and darn smart kids — some of Bureau County’s best, who will no doubt become many of our leaders of tomorrow. Four-H is a great diversified program, allowing young people hands-on experience in many categories and experiences.

I was a 4-H member for many, many years here in Bureau County, and to this day, I still have a important cache of memories that will stay with me forever.

If you’re thinking about enrolling your child in the 4-H program, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

While you’re at the fair, try to engage some of the 4-H members and ask them about their projects; I think you’ll be impressed with their knowledge. Also, if you get a chance, give the parents, 4-H leaders and Extension personnel a well-deserved pat on the back for all the time, energy and effort they give to help our area young people succeed. They are helping to build the leaders of tomorrow ... and that’s an important responsibility.

••• Just an FYI: I just want to remind everyone that when you see a police beat or an arrest printed in our newspaper, it does not mean that person is automatically guilty of the crime. People are arrested all the time for a host of charges, but everyone enjoys the presumption of innocence until they are proven guilty.

I think many times we see an arrest, and we automatically think that person is guilty — but that’s just not true. We print the arrest without exception, however, oftentimes charges are dropped or the person is never convicted. I just want everyone to be aware of that. If you have questions, please give me a call.

••• It looks like the upcoming forecast this week is hot and steamy. Just another friendly reminder to check on your friends and neighbors who might struggle with hot, humid weather. A helping hand, a trip to the grocery or pharmacy, an offer for some company might just be the trick to help keep everyone safe and cool during these hot times. Also ... please keep your four-legged friends cool and hydrated.

••• Just a reminder: Women of Distinction nominations are now being accepted. Nomination forms are available online, inside most editions of this newspaper and inside our Illinois Valley Living magazine. The deadline to submit a nomination is at 5 p.m. Monday, Aug. 1.

Once all the nominations are received, a panel of judges (usually previous Women of Distinction winners) will evaluate all of the nominations and rate each candidate with a numerical figure. Once all the judges’ tallies are in, we add up the scores, and those ladies become our newest Women of Distinction.

That’s when the fun starts, since we surprise the winners by going to their home or their place of business and presenting them with a certificate and a bouquet of flowers. From there all the Women of Distinction are our featured guests at the annual Women of Distinction luncheon, held in October. It’s a great event — smiles, tears, inspirational, not to mention some great food and door prizes.

Anyway, I hope you’ll think about the women who have made a difference in your lives and send me some nominations. All of us have women who have crossed our paths and made our lives better in one way or another.

Questions? Give me a call at 815-875-4461, ext. 6330, or email me at tsimon@bcrnews.com.

••• Have a great week. Breathe. Exhale. Try to relax a bit.

Sit down, close your eyes and let your mind wander.

You’ll be surprised how much better you will feel. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

On the street

Given the controversy surrounding the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, are you concerned about the U.S. athletes who are participating?

“I think anytime there is a big event, there is fear of something happening these days, but we can not live our lives in fear.

Those athletes earned the right to be there and compete for their country. Go USA!” Kaitlyn Smith, Princeton

“The dangers of representing America publicly is a privilege that comes with pride and honor and extreme risk.

The dangers of traveling exist. However, they ‘have a dream’ and assume this risk with pride.”

Stacy Schuck, Princeton “I am mainly just concerned about the health risks of the athletes, but with all of the proper precautions, all one can do is hope for the best.”

Josh Escatel, Princeton

“It’s going to be a mess.

They aren’t planning well and are rushing to get stuff done.”

Steve Lewkowycz, Princeton

“When I saw the news reports about the raw sewage flowing into the areas where some of the athletes are participating in water events, it did make me question why we would allow these events to move forward without insisting on moving to some safer location. The first concern that comes to my mind is the possibility of security issues.

Since Brazil only built one of eight sewage treatment plants promised to treat the water, how can we assume security will be adequate?

Ultimately, each athlete will have to decide if all the risks are worth it.”

Denise Reed, Princeton

I am THAT mom.

I am the one who, after countless and repeated warnings to my teenager about messing with my radio, threw it into park at a busy intersection and exited the vehicle, dancing wildly to the music, while the teen begged me to stop and get back into the car.

I am THAT mom.

I am the one who let my children eat poop and sticks and rocks with the educated opinion that it helped build immunity.

I am THAT mom.

I am the one who allows my children to curse like sailors in our home because I truly believe it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it, but will take away their last right and privilege if they use the Lord’s name in vain.

I am THAT mom.

I am the one who has driven icy back roads to get my children to our little country church because they begged me to go when I hesitated, humbly reminding me to re-prioritize my day and have faith that God would keep us safe.

I am THAT mom.

I am the one who has worked three to four jobs to make sure all of my children’s NEEDS are met, and occasionally some of their WANTS. I am THAT mom.

I am the one who has made tough decisions that were not popular with my children in an attempt to teach them valuable life lessons and risked their temporary wrath in exchange for a permanent and basic principle.

I am THAT mom.

I am the one who knows that God loves them more than I do, and I repeat that phrase 1,000 times when I start to worry, knowing He will take care of them.

Bluegrass at the PCCC

Human-animal bond explained Tuesday at library

Ashley Lewis to perform July 21 STANDARD — The Standard branch of the Putnam County Library District, located in the Putnam County Community Center (PCCC), will host a bluegrass performance

by Nashville artist Ashley Lewis at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, July 21.

According to her website, Lewis is a seven-time award recipient of the Illinois Arts Council for mandolin and has also been recognized as an accomplished and accredited Illinois Arts Tour musician who is preserving the heritage and art of Americana music. She graduated from Waubonsee College with a music performance degree and Presidential Honors. In 2007, she was honored with the “Fab 40” award from the college for her musical contribution to society as a musical artist.

The Putnam County Record recently interviewed Lewis about her background, influences and career.

“I grew up in the little farm town of Sandwich and credit the Illinois Arts Council with so much. They supported me through some very important learning years, and I owe them so much for that,” Lewis said.

While Lewis has played in large, high profile venues, she shared what she enjoys about performing at more intimate locations such as the PCCC. “There’s that chance to

The opportunity to visit afterwards is so special too because I get to learn about their lives and a little bit about who they are as well,” Lewis said.

Lewis also shared what drew her toward bluegrass music.

“My mama always sang to me and played guitar while I was growing up.

She is a fantastic songwriter and still is my favorite writer to collaborate with.

She bought me my first mandolin and the rest, as they say, is history,” she said.

What can fans expect at

the upcoming concert?

“This will be a solo performance, though I absolutely love performing with my whole band. I will take listeners on a costumed time travel experience through about 200 years or so of what we now call bluegrass and country music, starting with the ancient melodies from the British isles to the African folk songs handed down generation to generation; the emergence of mountain music into mainstream; and the influences derived from Western swing, jazz and even rock and roll,” Lewis said.

PRINCETON — Everyone who has ever had a beloved pet knows there is often a special bond between animals and humans. But did you know that the nature of those relationships depends on cultural context?

Patricia K. Anderson, PhD, CPBC (IAABC), is an anthropologist, anthrozoologist and archaeologist who has been studying the human-animal bond since 1999. On Tuesday, July 19, at 6:30 p.m., she will share her expertise at the Princeton Public Library. Topics of discussion will include: how culture interprets what an animal is, the animal mind, living and working humanely with animals, animal companions, and animals as healers.

Humans have interacted with other species as long as we have existed. Animals play pro-

foundly important roles in the lives of humans, whether as food, companion, spiritual guide, totemic ancestor or fictive family member. It has been argued that all human interactions with animals and nature take place within a cultural context. This presentation considers how culture shapes our beliefs about other species and contributes to current animal and environmental problems.

Even the answer to the deceptively simple question, “What is an animal?” varies widely, depending on cultural and historical contexts.

In this presentation we consider how culture affects human-animal interactions in a variety of cross-cultural contexts, ranging from small-scale nonindustrial societies to the modern industrial world. From creator beings, to ancestors, to shape shifters, family members, and food, human relationships with animals and their habitats are mediated by culture.

LaMoille coach Leo Lopez came dressed in his Ernie Banks jersey to “play two” and got his wish as LaMoille advanced to face BVN Lightning. The Lightning struck for an 8-7 victory to advance to

Z-Tour riders ride for many reasons Z-Tour riders come in a variety of forms — younger riders, older riders, newer riders, seasoned riders, riders just supporting a cause, riders who don’t miss a ride, riders from Princeton and riders from many distant locations.

I talked with many different people Friday night during registration.

I wanted to know how Becky many miles they were hoping to complete, why they like to ride or participate in the Z-Tour and what their biggest challenge

would be.

Bill Schnabel moved to Princeton a few years ago with his wife and they have rode in many Centuries (100mile rides), he said.

“When we moved here, we also became involved in the Z-Tour Organization. This is the most organized, well run Century I have been Kramer involved in,” he said.

“I ride because it is the best way to view the countryside, burn calories and for us to spend time together. The biggest chal-

Eli Crouch, a freshman at Princeton High, planned to ride 65 miles.

“I ride in the Z-Tour because it’s for a good cause and a fun ride,” he said. “It’s also good to spend time with the guys. I love the food at all the stops, too. My biggest challenge is remembering to drink enough water.”

Eli’s mom, Amy Crouch, was riding 30 miles. She is a longtime Princeton resident who rides all

It was evident that there was a lot of excitement and enthusiasm for the upcoming tour from both the participants and the volunteers.

Many of the out-oftown riders were returning and had participated in the Z-Tour in prior years. They could not say enough about the lovely countryside, the great organization of the event and the fantastic hospitality they receive at all the stops in the various com-

So whether they lived here or were traveling here, it was evident that even though their reasons were different for participating, everyone loved experiencing the beauty of Bureau County.
