Safety first when sending your children back to school

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Before we know it, the bell will be ringing, and class will be back in session.

As parents prepare to send their children back to school or college, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and local emergency management agencies throughout Illinois are encouraging parents to include emergency preparedness in their back-toschool plans.

It’s always a good idea to sit down with students and go over some of the simple safety precautions as they head back.

Jim Hermes, superintendent of Spring Valley Elemen-

tary School District, said it’s best for parents to bring their students to the school to get familiar with the hallways and classrooms before school is back in session.

He highly recommends it especially to families who are new to the district.

Also, if students will be walking to school, Hermes said it’s best to walk the route with the students before they head to school to ensure they know the path, and it’s the safest way.

Hermes said parents may even what to check bus stops with their students and have a talk with them about safety when they are out waiting for the bus.

Back-to-school planning tips • Know your child’s school or day care emergency plan.

• Find out where children will be taken in the event of an evacuation during school hours.

• Ensure your current emergency contact information is on file at your child’s school.

• Pre-authorize a friend or relative to pick up your children in an emergency, and make sure the school knows who that designated person will be.

• Teach children with cell phones about ‘“ext First, Talk Later.” Short, simple text messages, such as “R U OK?” and “I’m OK,” are more likely to get through than a phone call if phone service is disrupted following an emergency. As phone congestion eases, you can follow up with a phone call to relay more information.

Being a good buddy Buddy Bags fundraiser is Saturday

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Princeton Buddy Bags will be host its second annual drawdown event on Saturday, Aug. 8, at the Princeton Elks Lodge.

There will be a dinner, a silent auction, several door prizes and music by the Generics.

Tickets are $40 a couple and can be purchased at the door.

Doors open at 4:30 p.m.

The dinner starts at 5:30 p.m. with the drawdown to follow.

This is Princeton Buddy

Bags main fundraiser to help feed hungry students throughout this next school year. The Buddy Bags program provides students with meals and snacks which may not be available to them during days they are not in school.

Last year’s drawdown raised $5,000, and this year, the Princeton Buddy Bags volunteers are hoping to exceed that amount.

During last school year, Princeton Buddy Bags spent $18,000 to serve 110 Princeton students.

The program serves stu-

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Jan. 9, 2014 ... It was a day that will forever live in the mind of Princeton resident Abbie Cochran.

That was the day the then 31-year-old mother of two small children was diagnosed with Stage 2 invasive ductal carcinoma ... plain and simple, breast cancer.

“I won’t forget that day. There are certain dates that are ingrained,” Cochran said, adding she found a lump under her arm while shaving.

CPASA hosts Family Fun Fest

Under the hood in Cherry

There was plenty to do for event-goers of all ages during the inaugural Family Fun Fest, sponsored by Community Partners Against Substance Abuse, held Saturday, Aug. 1, at Zearing Park in Princeton. From children’s activities to entertainment to plenty of food and a candy drop from a helicopter, the proceeds from the fundraiser will go toward CPASA programs.

Larry Schmitt, Mike Hart and Jim Weber check out one of the vehicles on display at the Cherry Booster Club’s and Cherry Fire Department’s Celebration Days on Saturday, Aug. 1. The event drew folks from around the area and included a variety of activities for young and old alike.

Caravans celebrate the 30th anniversary of the I&M Canal National Heritage Area

Meeting minutes

The Canal Corridor Association (CCA) will culminate its yearlong 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 two-day 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 815223-1851.

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 movement.

The second caravan will take place the following Saturday, Aug. 15.

The first stop, Isle a la Cache in Romeoville, will transport “caravaners” back to the 1600s 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 Chan-

nahon 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.

Bureau Valley School Board MANLIUS — The Bureau Valley District School Board met in regular session Tuesday, July 28, in the district office in Manlius.

Superintendent Stephen Endress presented the 2015 State of the District report.

This report is a snapshot of the previous school year, covering finances, student data and staff data.

During building reports, Kristal LeRette, BVS/W principal, recognized Doyle Johnston for his help with summer projects in Buda.

Endress recognized the custodial/maintenance staff for their progress on projects this summer. He also acknowledged district office staff for their work on preparing for the annual audit. He also acknowledged a thank you note from retiring teacher, Pat Corwin, thanking the board for her clock.

In board action, the following was approved: • PE waiver hearing minutes of July 6.

• Special meeting minutes of July 14.

• Monthly financial and treasurer’s reports.

• Bureau County Cooperative Alternative School bills and financial report.

• Appointment of Brandi Cade as IMRF Authorized Agent for Bureau County Special Schools.

• Transportation fuel bid.

• District milk and bread bids.

• A discussion was held regarding the possibility of changing the regular school day to 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Endress has met with the principals and transportation regarding the dismissal change. All buildings and transportation can accommodate the change. The Affordable Care Act’s 30‐ hour threshold has a financial impact on the district if the aides’ average hours are above 30 hours/week. Board member Don King made a motion to establish the regular school day as 8 a.m. to 3 a.m. Board member Justin Yepsen gave the second.

The motion passed with a 6–1 vote.

• A discussion was held regarding the maintenance grant roofing projects. The board had previously approved to let bids on three roof projects in 2014 for the Manlius Elementary, Wyanet and Buda buildings. The board applied for and received a $50,000 matching school maintenance grant for Wyanet and Buda. In June 2014, bids were let, however only one bidder submitted a bid and the bidding was canceled. The grant has been extended and the board can proceed to obtain bids or the $50,000 must be returned. Board member Don DeWaele made a motion to proceed to let bids for Wyanet and Buda.

Board member Bill Gebeck gave the second. The motion passed 7–0.

After executive session, the board: • Approved and retained the executive session meeting minutes of June 23.

• Approved the release of past executive session minutes as presented.

• Accepted the resignations of Vicki Litherland as BVS volleyball coach; Cynthia Smucker as BVS/W art teacher; Staci Sidorowicz as BVHS Spanish teacher and Jodi Twidell as BVN cafeteria worker.

• Approved the employment of BVHS coaches and sponsors for 2015-16; employment of BVS coaches and sponsors for 2015-16; and BVN coaches and sponsors for 2015-16, as amended.

• Approved employment of Stacy Dennison as BVN special ed teacher; Cindy Verway as BVS cafeteria worker; Kari Gerdes as BVN special ed aide; Jennifer Moore as BVS cafeteria worker; Pat Corwin as part-time BVS science teacher; Don Guier as part-time BVS Title 1 teacher; Mickey White as part-time BVS special ed teacher; Cindy Martin as part-time BVWE music teacher; Kurt Bitting as summer tech worker; Josh Bell as district tech director; Doyle Johnston as district maintenance director; Steven Foster as district assistant maintenance director and Tina Hufford as part-time BVHS FCS teacher.

• Approved Brenda Monier as BVN volunteer volleyball coach.

dents in schools that feed into PHS. The program also feeds students at St. Louis Catholic School and Princeton Christian Academy.

Mark Frank, director of Princeton Buddy Bags, said many people question why they serve students at private schools, but he explained the students have received grants to get a Christian education that they otherwise would not have been able to afford.

Princeton Buddy Bag volunteers welcome the public to their annual drawdown event.

“Come out and have a great time with other people. This is going to feed these kids. It’s 100 percent for food,” said Amy Peterson, Princeton Buddy Bags inventory coordinator.

“This is our calling to help one another. There are a lot of people that don’t realize how many kids are

out there that need this.”

What is Princeton Buddy Bags all about?

The Princeton Buddy Bags was formed in May 2011, with a mission to provide food to children on days when they were not at school and who needed the extra meals.

Since the formation of Buddy Bags, the number of students served has increased each year.

Last year, Princeton Buddy Bags met its highest number, which was 110 students. The group feels the increase comes from teachers and parents becoming more aware of the program and what it offers.

For a student to get a Buddy Bag, the school must send home a letter to the parent who fills it out and returns it to the school. The school then sends the information to Buddy Bags.

Volunteers never receive names of students, but just the num-

ber of needed bags for the school. The group will also serve younger siblings of students who are not yet in the school system. For example, the group has an 18 month old they are serving who is a sibling to another student receiving Buddy Bags.

Sandy Rose, a volunteer of Princeton Buddy Bags, is also employed at one of the schools where the Buddy Bags are delivered. She sees first-hand the students’ reaction to receiving a bag.

There’s always one story that sticks with her about one particular student who received the bags.

“When she would get one, she would tell me, ‘Mrs. Rose this is like Christmas.’ She would always get excited about it,” she said.

“When you hear a kid said they are hungry and tell you they didn’t have much food in the house or that one of their parents got laid off from work, it breaks your heart.”

Hearing the stories

about students’ and parents’ reactions to the Buddy Bags is a motivation to keep the organization working stronger each year.

“This organization exists because God put it in front of us, and we listened,” Frank said. “He didn’t tell us to judge why those kids are hungry. He said feed them.”

The group just received their own 501c3, which allows them to be its own entity. This means the group is no longer sponsored by a church, which will open up more opportunity to receive donations from the community and will also allow the group to apply for grants.

While the group has a hard-working main core of volunteers, Peterson said they could always use more people to help with planning fundraisers or for picking up food or lifting items.

Frank added it’s a big task to inventory and fig-

other emergencies, it gives students the opportunity to be reminded what to do when a disaster strikes.

“We are a PBIS school, so we do a lot of planned discussion about hallway safety and classroom safety and the expectations of students during emergencies,” Hermes said.

Hermes said teachers always talk with students to make sure they know exactly where to go and what to do in an emergency.

As for parents, Hermes recommends all parents sign up for BCR text alerts.

“In this day and age with cell phones, there is no better way to contact parents when there’s an emergency,” he said.

With BCR alerts, the school can send out a mass message to parents alerting them of any situations and when and where to pickup students if something is happening at the school.

Parents can visit the school’s website to find out how to register for the BCR alerts.

Princeton Elementary Schools also send out alerts to parents when there’s an emergency.

PES Superintendent Tim Smith said his district sends out text alerts, emails, announcements on the district web page and to the local radio and TV stations. New this year, the school will be Tweeting messages if something happens at school.

Smith recommends parents to make sure there is always a backup for students if school gets canceled or if there is an early dismissal, especially for parents who work out of town or happen to be away. Smith said it’s always a good idea to have that other person there as a backup.

He also recommends parents update students’ emergency cards, so the school can keep up on any changes.

Smith said communication is key when after-school plans get changed. For example, if a student who normally rides the bus is getting picked up by a family member on a certain day, he said it’s best to notify the school of the change as a safety precaution.

“These days, it can change day-to-day, so it’s a good thing to have that plan clearly communicated,” he said.

For students who may be heading back to college, IEMA also recommends checking in to see if the college offers text alerts, and if so, parents and students are encouraged to register to receive the texts.

College students are also encouraged to get to know the emergency plans for dorms or apartments buildings when moving in.

“Disasters can happen anytime of the day, even when children are in school or daycare,” said IEMA Director James K. Joseph. “Take a few minutes to find out how your child’s school will handle emergencies and talk to you child about how your family will communicate after a disaster.”

ing my armpit, and I found it. It was definitely a lump. I was only 31; breast exams weren’t something I thought I needed to be doing at this point,” she said.

Cochran said at the time she thought it would be silly to call the doctor or make an appointment.

“I’m going to call, and it’s going to be nothing, and I’m going to feel foolish. I’m not much of a doctor person,” she said remembering her feelings when she found the lump. “But it was my gut that pushed me to make the phone call.”

After some testing, Cochran vividly remembers the day she went to get the results.

“I knew it was coming. They told me to bring support with me, When I got there, there were all these pamphlets laying on the desk for me,” she said. “I was really scared. I have two young kids. I was confused and mad — all sorts of stuff.”

The roller coaster ride began ... Six rounds of chemotherapy and 30 radiation treatments later, a bilateral mastectomy was performed. Cochran then had breast reconstruction surgery in April of this year.

Looking back, Cochran knows her life has forever changed.

“I learned I will never fully go back to my old self, and I set new goals for life instead of expecting my life to go back to normal,” she said. “I also learned that no matter what, you always have control over your attitude and where you go with what you’re dealt.

“I don’t take as much for granted. I make more time for my kids and my family; I’ve developed more patience and take the day as it comes. I think I cherish it more, and I’m more understanding — you never know what somebody else is going through,” she said, adding she is also developing her spiritual faith.

While Cochran said she has always been one to volunteer and give back, her battle with breast cancer has caused her to jump head-first into more volunteerism and opportunities to help others. That will become crystal clear Friday evening as Cochran addresses the crowd at this year’s Bureau County Relay for Life event at Zearing Park in Princeton.

Cochran is the keynote featured cancer survivor speaker.

“I’ve thought a lot about it. I want to get it right,” Cochran said of her speech she’s working on for the event. “I want to be able to inspire someone. I think it might be a little hard because outwardly, I never talk about it. But I’m happy to share my story; if I can influence or inspire one person there Friday night, it will be worth it.”

Serving Bureau County Since 1847

From the editor’s desk It was another busy weekend in and around Bureau County. I hope you took the opportunity to enjoy some of the activities in your own backyard ...

Congratulations are in order to Megan Foes of Mineral who was crowned Miss Bureau County Fair Queen. Also a big round of applause to Junior Miss Bureau County Fair Queen Mia Bowen of Tiskilwa and Little Miss Bureau County Fair Queen Ashley Richardson of Princeton.

Actually, on behalf of the Bureau County Republican, I’d like to say how proud we are of every single young lady who participated in this annual queen contest. While we imagine (at least we hope) you had tons of fun, we also know it takes a lot of hard work to prepare for the contest, which was held Terri Simon Sunday, Aug. 2, at Bureau Valley High School in Manlius. In our eyes, every young lady is a winner.

And we haven’t forgotten the parents/guardians ... We know in most cases the parents are responsible for helping their daughters get to all those practices, not to mention the variety of outfits they’ve bought and the time and energy they’ve spent in helping their respective contestants prepare for the big day. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed.

See our photos on Pages 1-2.

••• So what’s on your agenda for this Friday, Aug. 7?

If you’re looking for an activity that will no doubt touch your heart, I hope you’ll attend the annual Bureau County Relay for Life event which will be held at Zearing Park in Princeton. The fun will begin around 6 p.m., and opening ceremonies start at 6:30 p.m. As a cancer survivor, I’m proud to deliver the opening remarks at this year’s Relay.

I hope you’ll come out and join in the fun, where you’re sure to leave with a good feeling in your heart.

This year’s Relay is entirely new from years gone by, so be prepared for plenty of entertainment, great food, touching moments, lots of cheers, a moving luminaria ceremony and more. You don’t have to be a cancer survivor or a caregiver to attend. The community is encouraged to attend and applaud those who have been touched by cancer as well as those who have lost their battle with this disease. Unfortunately, I think it’s now safe to say that cancer has touched all of our lives in one way or another, so I hope you’ll join me Friday night to stand up to cancer and all it delivers. The event is sponsored by the American Cancer Society, and it is hosted by a myriad of volunteers who work tirelessly to pull off this important activity. See you there ...

••• The nomination period has officially ended for our annual Women of Distinction event. Wow! The Illinois Valley came out in force to nominate some great and very deserving women for this year’s event. While I’ve only glanced at the nominations, every one I received — and there were plenty — described a very active woman in the Illinois Valley who clearly fits the description of a Woman of Distinction.

Now, I will gather all the nominations and give them to a panel of judges, made up of previous Women of Distinction winners. Those ladies will carefully read each nomination and then make their selections. The winners will be honored at our annual Women of Distinction luncheon, set for Thursday, Oct. 15, at Hornbaker Gardens’ new facility. It’s a fabulous place, and I know this new venue will be the perfect spot to honor these ladies.

Mark your calendars now!

I’ll be in touch soon as I name our keynote speaker and give you more details about when tickets will go on sale. This will be a year you won’t want to miss!

••• I hope you have a great week. It’s difficult to believe we are already into August. Before long, the Bureau County Fair will be here, and the kids will be headed back to school. Take some time now to enjoy your family, your friends and yourself. Life is short. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

On the street

Why are hometown festivals important?

“I think festivals are important because it’s a great way to come together as a community and see all of the friendly faces you know, plus you can meet more people. There are always fun things to do with your family and friends bringing you closer and getting you involved!”

Tori Wallace, Tiskilwa “Festivals are part of what makes this area a great place to live.

They bring people together, instill a sense of pride in community and give an opportunity to learn knowledge of the town’s history.”

Wendy Sims, Tiskilwa

“Festivals bring family and friends together, and it’s a great way to create memories.”

Heidi Lott, Tiskilwa

“Festivals do a lot for the community. People come home to see family and friends.”

Alan Ring, Cherry

“Festivals bring people to the community and helps the community grow. Festivals start new friendships and helps bring town people together.”

Carol Lauer, Cherry

“Festivals generate money for the town to support community activities such as Little League, Boy Scouts, the food pantry and scholarships. Festivals help bring people to town to support businesses.”

Bob McCook, Cherry

TO Letter THE Editor

A rushed plan may not be a good plan To the Editor, Last fall the great concern was brought up for the building in Buda. There is a problem with the building and something SHOULD be done. However, this concern has been put on the back burner in order to push through a different agenda. How does the new junior high solve the problem of the rundown building in Buda? Take care of this problem first.

I am against a combined junior high. This is economically unsound. In my home we are not frivolous spenders, teaching our children to be good stewards of money, buying things we need, treating ourselves only when it is financially allowable. There are many things that we WANT, but we know these things are not in the budget.

Some of your desires for a new junior high is a WANT, but is it a NEED? Is it financially responsible?

Is it in the budget? If so, at what cost?

Speaking with several BV junior high and high school teachers,

there is great spacing concern. With the plans I have seen, there is no art room. Is the high school art room available to be shared?

There is no computer lab. Currently we have a computers class in the junior high. Would this no longer be offered? If not, we are taking a giant step back. Along with that, the lab is used for class projects throughout the year and PARCC testing. Technology should be a priority. The plans don’t reflect this.

There is no library. Reading is essential in the junior high. In order to become better at anything, one needs to practice. The library offers a great opportunity for our junior high students. Once students enter high school, the level of recreational reading drops significantly.

Without their own library, interest in reading will drop sooner which, in turn, will have a negative impact across the board in their learning.

There is no counseling office.

The counselor is an essential part in many junior high students’ lives.

In fact, it is mandated per several IEPs that group time is needed.

With such a private issue, is it fair that the counselor would need to seek out an area to meet with these children?

Finally, the number of classrooms is just not enough. With the RTI time at BVN, I know eight classrooms are utilized, and sometimes that is not enough. This is not a luxury but a necessity. During this essential time, struggling students with or without IEPs are able to get small group instruction and individualized help with areas that are difficult for them. This cannot be taken away.

Dr. Endress believes one junior high would equal out the inequities of the district. Will it equal out the parental involvement? With the junior high in Manlius, less from any town will be involved. That will equal out. Will it equal out the sports program? I believe that both North and South excel in sports.

Will it equal out the excellent teachers? I have had opportunities to get to know several of the teachers in both schools, and I believe that no matter where we are in the district, we have outstanding teachers.

A rushed plan will NOT be in the best interest of the children of Bureau Valley. Why not use our resources to fix BVS? Candace Lind Walnut

Weather plays factor in boat races High winds cancel Sunday’s races; national champions crowned Friday and Saturday

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

DEPUE — For the second straight year, the weather played a factor at the U.S. Title Series of the PRO National Championship boat races at Lake DePue Sunday, Aug. 2, as high winds caused a four-hour delay before race officials deemed conditions as too treacherous for the races.

Although winds shortened the Sunday schedule last year, this is the first time in the 31 years of the event officials can recall the entire slate of races for a day being cancelled.

“Our No. 1 priority here is safety, and right now the wind is coming out of the southwest and that’s right at the mouth of the lake and it makes the lake, especially coming out of the first turn, really dangerous with the high speeds these boats travel at,” Alan Bosnich of the DePue Men’s Club said.

Weather conditions started coming into play before the races could even begin as an unusually wet spring and summer had water levels in the lake dangerously high. For the safety of the crew and drivers, the high water levels forced race officials to

Jay Walls Sr. of Danville, Ind., won the C racing hydro national championship Friday, July 31, at the PRO National Championships at Lake DePue. take the pit areas from the shoreline of Lake DePue to the residential areas that line the lakeside.

“We delayed the start of the races as long as we could, but we wanted to make sure that we got everyone home and on their way safe because we don’t want to take the chances of getting anyone

hurt,” added Bosnich.

Doug Hall, of Dekalb, Md., claimed his 16th national title on Friday in the 500cc Hydro, as he was the only one to finish all heats in the division.

“It’s been different this year. Usually they worry about having enough water and this year they have too much, and now

we’re playing the waiting game not knowing if the races will continue so that’s a challenge for drivers to overcome,” Hall said.

He would go on to add his 17th national title to his mantle on Saturday, Aug. 1, in 700cc Hydro, but was denied a chance for another title on Sunday.

“DePue is special. You come here and run for a national championship and there are guys coming from all over to compete.

You’re running against the best guys in the country here so you know the competition is going to be competitive,” Hall said.

“It’s always good to win another national cham-

pionship. I came here as a toddler being held on my mother’s hip so being able to come here, compete and especially win is something special.”

DePue’s Paul Bosnich III took sixth place in the 250 cc Runabout while Ladd native Steve Niesen grabbed fourth place in the 175 cc Hydro, which was good enough to best DePue’s Jake Quesse, who placed ninth.

More than $20,000 in cash and prizes was up for grabs over the weekend but with the cancellation of Sunday’s races, what to do with the prizes will become an issue the DePue Men’s Club will have to discuss at a later date.

“This has been a challenging year for us with the high water and now the high winds. This is obviously a fund generator for us and we’ll take a hit, but we’ll have to figure out at a later date if prizes will roll over to next year or what exactly we will do with those prizes,” Alan Bosnich said. “We just want to be fair and continue to please our fans; we’re the fastest thing in the Illinois Valley and we’re proud of that.”
