Is BPL still viable?

Princeton takes a look at BPL, fiber optics

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton City Council will discuss the future — or lack of future, for its Broadband Over Power Line (BPL) service to residents.

At this week’s council meeting, Commissioner Joel Quiram said the city is subsidizing debt with BPL. The city receives about $1,400 a month gross through BPL; that amount is before taking out expenses, such as having department employees oversee the system for an hour or so a day. With storms, there is additional time spent on the lines, which is eating up the revenue, he said.

Quiram said BPL is dead technology. As announced earlier this year, the city is not taking new BPL customers. If this was a private company, it would have gone out of business by now, he said.

Looking ahead, Quiram said he plans to bring a motion to the council to discontinue BPL by the end of the year. That end-of-the year time frame will give customers time to look for another provider or to transfer them, in time, to the city’s fiber optic system. By waiting until September to present his motion, council members will have time to study the city’s options, he said.

Quiram also has issues with the city’s fiber optic system. It would cost a lot of money to go forward to get fiber to all customers, even if the city partnered with a private company. Telecommunications is very important, but he’s not sure the city can compete with the private sector.

Following Quiram’s comments, Mayor Keith Cain asked Princeton City Manager Jeff Clawson and Superintendent of Electric and Telecommunications Jason Bird

A tribute to Kali Officers, community and beyond celebrate K-9 officer

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PERU – An overwhelmingly crowded room at Peru City Hall bowed their heads in a dimly lit room as dispatch called out for K-9 Officer Kali over the police radio.

After three calls with no response, it was confirmed the officer was finished with duty forever.

Bagpipes began to play “Amazing Grace” as the room filled with sobs and sniffles.

It was the scene Thursday night at the celebration of service for Peru Police Department’s K-9 officer who died on Saturday from injuries sustained in an accident with her handler, Art Smith.

The partners had been responding to a robbery at the Verizon Wireless store, north of Peru, when their squad was broadsided at the intersection of Route 251 and 36th Street. The squad car spun around, went through a ditch taking out a pole and continued to spin as it entered the southbound lanes of Route 251. The K-9 officer dog, Kali, was ejected from the vehicle and later died.

Peru Police Sgt. Scott DeGroot recounted the incident during the service.

Smith exited his squad, dazed and hurt, realizing his partner had been ejected from the squad car. As he began to look for Kali, he heard her bark and went to her aid. He located her, and they began to cross Route

251 to the grassy median where he realized the severity of her injuries.

“Knowing the situation and condition of his partner, and as the worst day of his career began to unfold in front of him, Officer Smith picked his head up, gave Kali a command to sit and stay. Officer Smith then unselfishly headed for the driver of the other vehicle to see if he was OK,” DeGroot said. “Officer Smith’s courage and unselfish display during this horrible event and ability to still have concern and compassion for others and put them ahead. makes you a hero to me and all your fellow officers,” DeGroot spoke to a somber Smith, who sat surrounded by family members throughout the service.

SHEFFIELD — Sidney Sheldon once wrote, “Libraries store the energy that fuels the imagination. They open up windows to the world and inspire us to explore and achieve, and contribute to improving our quality of life. Libraries change lives for the better.”

For the past 100 years, Sheffield’s Carnegie library has accomplished just what Sheldon believed, and on Aug. 17, the Sheffield Public Library will applaud those 100 years with a celebration for the entire community and anyone who believes a library can clearly change a mind, a life, a community, a world.

Sheffield Library Board President Karl Rahr said a host of activities are planned around the 100-year anniversary of the Andrew Carnegie library, which was built for $3,715 and was officially dedicated on Aug. 9, 1913.

Sheffield’s Carnegie library is one of 105 Illinois communities that is home to a Carnegie structure — all funded by Andrew Carnegie and primarily built in small towns across the state between 1889 and 1923. Like the structure in Sheffield, a remarkable 83 of those original Illinois libraries are still being maintained and used as a library today. Illinois ranks third in its number of Carnegie libraries behind Indiana (164) and California (142).

Rahr, who is passionate about the history of the Sheffield Public Library, said the event on Aug. 17, will include library building tours from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. There are children’s games planned at the adjacent Veterans School Park from 11 a.m. to noon. There will also be a U.S. Postal Service special stamp cancellation station at the library from noon to 3 p.m.

LaSalle County Sheriff’s Deputy Doug Goebel presents a plaque of service recognition to his longtime friend Peru Police Department K-9 handler Art Smith during a service of celebration for Kali, Smith’s K-9 partner, who died on Saturday from injuries sustained in a vehicle accident.

Kali From Page 1 The celebration drew hundreds of community members of all walks of life and uniformed law enforcement from all areas of Northern Illinois. Some from as far as Davenport, Iowa, and Chicago suburbs.

Smith was greeted with handshakes, hugs and words of encouragement. Community members, some sport-

ing black kerchiefs with inscriptions over a dog’s paw, created a line that stretched out the door as they waited to leave messages on poster boards that sat near Kali’s equipment.

Many stopped and took a moment near an urn containing the dog’s ashes, which sat decorated with her collar.

Peru Police Chief Doug Bernabei spoke briefly about the overwhelming response to last Saturday’s events.

He spoke about the enormous amount of mail, emails, phone calls and teletypes that have poured in from all areas of the country.

“I’ve been in law enforcement for a long time, and I thought I had seen everything.

But I found out last week that I had not seen everything, and this is something I never prepared for or never thought about,” he said.

“The law enforcement support has been unbe-

lievable, but I can’t even describe or have a handle on the type of support we have received at the police department locally.”

Bernabei mentioned the “thousands and thousands” of posts, likes, messages, shares and comments on Facebook and the amounts of money that has begun to flood into the police department from community members wishing to share their support.

“We cannot thank people enough,” he said.

LaSalle County K-9 officer Brain Zebron spoke briefly about Kali’s dedicated service, strong work ethic and extremely accurate nose.

“It’s not how Kali died that made her a hero; it’s how she lived,” he said. “Kali stopped many crimes before they even started due to her dedicated service to Art and her community.”

Emerald ash borer is discovered in Whiteside County SPRINGFIELD — A destructive pest responsible for killing millions of ash trees in North America has been discovered for the first time in Whiteside County, the closest find to date in Illinois to the Iowa border.

The Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA) announced it has received confirmation that a beetle collected on the county fairgrounds in Morrison is an emerald ash borer (EAB). An alert forestry technician with the Illinois Depart-

ment of Natural Resources spotted a distressed ash tree on the property and notified IDOA staff, who found a dead adult beetle in its bark. The beetle was submitted to the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, which confirmed it as EAB. “We have monitoring traps throughout Whiteside and its neighboring counties,” EAB program manager Scott Schirmer said. “Thus far, the infestation appears highly localized. In fact, we have not even been able

to confirm EAB in any other ash trees on the property.”

The emerald ash borer is a small, metallic-green beetle native to Asia. Its larvae burrow into the bark of ash trees, causing the trees to starve and eventually die. Since the first detection of the pest near Detroit, Mich., in 2002, it has killed more than 25 million ash trees.

The beetle often is difficult to detect, especially in newly-infested trees. Signs of infestation include thinning and yellowing leaves, D-shaped

holes in the bark of the trunk or branches and basal shoots. Anyone who suspects an ash tree has been infested should contact their county Extension office, their village forester or the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

Forty-one Illinois counties currently are under quarantine to prevent the artificial or “human-assisted” spread of the beetle through the movement of infested wood and nursery stock.

Specifically, the quarantine prohibits the removal of the following items: The emerald ash borer in any living stage of development. Ash trees of any size. Ash limbs and branches. Any cut, non-coniferous firewood.

Bark from ash trees and wood chips larger than 1 inch from ash trees.

Ash logs and lumber with either the bark or the outer 1 inch of sapwood, or both, attached.

Any item made from or containing the wood of the ash tree that is capable of spreading the emerald ash borer. Any other article, product or means of conveyance determined by the Illinois Department of Agriculture to present a risk of spreading the beetle infestation.

The counties under quarantine are Boone, Bureau, Champaign, Clark, Coles, Cook, Cumberland, DeKalb, DeWitt, Douglas, DuPage, Edgar, Effingham, Fayette, Ford, Grundy, Henry, Iroquois, Kane, Kankakee, Kendall, Knox, Lake, LaSalle, Lee, Livingston, Macon, Marion, Marshall, McHenry, McLean, Moultrie, Ogle, Piatt, Putnam, Shelby, Stark, Vermilion, Will, Winnebago and Woodford.

Local Tickets still available for Justin Moore concert PRINCETON — There are plenty of great seats remaining for the 38th annual country show, starring Justin Moore, at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 23 at the Bureau County Fair in Princeton.

Justin Moore’s star has grown significantly since he was named Billboard’s Top New Country Artist of 2009. This southern country stylist has sold more than three million digital downloads to date, and his sophomore album, “Outlaws Like Me,” hit the No. 1 spot the week it was released. “Outlaws Like Me” includes the fastest-rising single of Moore’s career, “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away” and “’Til My Last Day,” both ascended to the No. 1 spot. His debut album scored three consecutive smash singles (the No. 1 “Small Town USA” as well as the hits “Backwoods” and “How I Got To Be This Way”).

Just last year, he hit the road with Rascal Flatts, Darius Rucker, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton. He is currently on the road with his first headlining tour, the “Outlaws Like Me Tour.”

When Moore tells his fans at all of his shows that he’s “proud to be from small town USA,” it is from the heart.

The Poyen, Ark., native grew up in a town with a population of 272.

How does the kid from the small town follow that up? He starts by being true to himself, in the way he lives and in the songs he writes.

When he sings about growing up in Poyen “in Small Town USA” and that “some people called it prison when I was growin’ up, but these are my roots, and this is what I love,” he means every word of it.

Tickets for all shows at the 158th fair are on sale daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., including the 38th annual country show on Aug. 23, the truck and tractor pulls on Aug. 24, and the demolition derby on Aug. 25. For complete ticket information for all fair shows, see the fair’s website at www. bureaucountyfair.com.

Scam-proof 101 Seniors get lessons on identifying and preventing scams

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — A group of Bureau County seniors have been given a crash course on preventing identity theft and scams.

About 20 area senior citizens attended Thursday morning’s meeting hosted by state Sen. Darin LaHood and Rep. Don Moffitt at the Prouty Community Building in Princeton.

In his presentation, Illinois Attorney General Office representative Eric Salcedo said senior citizens are the No. 1 target for scammers because seniors usually have the most money because they are typically not raising children and making house payments. Also, seniors are usually retired and at home during the days when scammers typically call or ring doorbells. Also, seniors may be alone more often and more willing to talk to someone, Salcedo said.

A common scam targeting senior citizens is the “grandparent scam” because scammers know grandparents will do anything for their grandkids, Salcedo said. Scammers will pretend to be a grandchild who has gotten arrested and needs money to get bailed out of jail, with a request that the grandchild’s parents not be told.

Salcedo said seniors should just hang up when they get that call. The longer a person is on the phone, the more likely he is to give out personal information. If a grandparent is concerned about the grandchild, the

State Sen. Darin LaHood (from left), Marshann Entwhistle, Ryan Tozer and state Rep. Don Moffitt discuss issues before Thursday’s meeting hosted by LaHood and Moffitt on senior fraud prevention. About 20 area senior citizens attended the meeting held at the Prouty Community Building in Princeton. Seniors could also discuss their utility bills with Citizens Utility Board representatives and meet with a representative from the state treasurer’s office to see if they had any unclaimed money or assets held by the state. grandparent should call the child’s parents or the grandchild himself, Salcedo said.

Other scams include when a “law enforcement agency” calls to sell increased security measures for the home, or when someone calls with medical equipment or supplies that have supposedly been ordered or OKed by family members. Again, people should hang up and call the police.

When asked by an audience member about the effectiveness of calling the police, Salcedo said the police can’t do a lot as far as catching the scammers, since they are often from out-of-state or even from outside the country, but the local police can alert area residents about the scammers.

“The first line of defense when it comes to scams is knowledge of scams,” Salcedo said.

Another common scam is the foreign lottery scam in which the resident gets a letter and a “check” saying the resident had won a foreign lottery. Again, those letters should be thrown away, he said.

As another safeguard against scams, Salcedo said seniors should screen telephone calls and not answer calls when they don’t recognize the phone number.

If the message is important, the caller will leave a voice mail.

In addition to scams, identity theft is another major issue, with the thief using a senior citi-

zen’s name to open a new bank account or to take money from an existing account.

To guard against identify theft, Salcedo said people need to protect their Social Security number. People should not carry their social Social Security cards or Medicare cards with them.

Medical care will not be denied to someone if he/ she doesn’t have a Medicare card. Some people make a copy of their Medicare card and cut out or black out their Social Security number, he said.

If someone asks for your Social Security number, you should ask the person three questions: Why do you need the number? Can I get the service without giving my Social Security number? What will you do

to protect the safety of my Social Security number?

Regarding other safeguards against identify theft, people can lock their mail boxes, knowing when their mail arrives, and get a shredder.

In addition to the scam/ identity theft presentation, Citizens Utility Board (CUB) representatives talked about the rights of utility customers, ways to save money and how to file complaints if needed. CUB representatives then met with the seniors individually to review their bills and answer questions. A representative of the state treasurer’s office was also on hand to help seniors search for unclaimed money or assets held by the state.

Strader trial postponed

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — An Aug. 27 trial date has been rescheduled for the Princeton man accused of two counts of the Class 4 felony of aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol following an April 4 traffic crash near Princeton.

Billy Strader, 44, appeared in Bureau County Court Wednesday afternoon before Associate Circuit Judge C.J. Hollerich for a final pre-trial hearing.

Addressing the judge, Bureau County State’s Attorney Patrick Herrmann said he and Assistant Public Defender James Andreoni agreed to ask for a continuance, or postponement, of the original Aug. 27 trial date because

of the large volume of medical records of the victims in the crash. Andreoni said his client, Strader, also had medical issues which he needed to consider.

The judge set a new trial date for 9 a.m. Nov. 12, with the final pre-trial hearing set for 1:15 p.m.

Oct. 16.

The felony charges against Strader stem from

a single-vehicle crash on April 4 on 1250 North Avenue, just past the Log Cabin Curve on the Princeton/Tiskilwa Road. Strader is accused of driving under the influence of alcohol and being involved in a crash involving great bodily harm to others, Steve Kiser, 65, of Princeton and Ashley Weber, 25, of Ladd.

Kiser and Weber were

both lifeflighted to OSF St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria for treatment of injuries. Two other passengers, Jonathan A. Buckman, 29, of Princeton and Angela M. Heuer, 44, of Princeton, were taken to Perry Memorial Hospital.

On May 15, Strader entered a not guilty plea to the Class 4 felonies and requested a trial by jury.

Sheffield Public Library timeline The Sheffield Library was first established in 1892 as an outreach of a reading room for the local boys’ club, founded by G.P. Head. It was initially located in the basement of the Sheffield House Hotel.

The Sheffield Village Board eventually assumed responsibility for the book collection, which started the public library that was then housed in a private residence on Main Street in Sheffield in 1896.

The book collection kept growing, and the local women’s club formed a reading club. Sisters of the boys in the boys’ club pitched in to help.

The library moved several times and was housed in a variety of locations in the village.

On Feb. 18, 1911, the village’s postmaster, C.A. Simington, wrote to Andrew Carnegie. His letter said: “Our library has been in existence about 15 years and during that period, we have rented such rooms or buildings as have been available from time to time ... The village owns a desirably located corner lot, directly across the street from our public school, which is available for building purposes, and a library building there would be greatly appreciated by our citizens.”

Simington described Sheffield as “a live, healthy town, and somewhat more than a thousand inhabitants, situated in a prosperous farming community, with an intelligent class of citizens, who cheerfully pay a two mill tax for the support of the public library ...” Simington went on to tell Carnegie a “permanent building is sorely needed.”

After additional correspondence and a photo of Sheffield’s current library was sent, the village received on May 2, 1911, the promise of $4,000 for the new library. A Galesburg company was hired to design the building in a chalet style.

The Carnegie library in Sheffield was constructed of bricks from the village’s Clay Products plant by P.M. Ford.

In 1935, the library received a framed portrait of its donor, Andrew Carnegie, which came as a gift from the Carnegie Foundation of New York in honor of Carnegie’s 100th birthday. That portrait still hangs in the library today.

Also in the park shelter at 1 p.m., a program will begin which will consist of a building and library history, special guest speakers and dignitaries, and the dedication of a new flag pole (donated by the Sheffield American Legion) and flag (donated

by Mayor Bill Rosenow).

The Sheffield Library Board along with its librarians — Sue Lanxon, head librarian; Cassie Roush, assistant librarian; and Peg Foster, children’s librarian — have worked the past year to ready the library for this special event, including new paint, furniture, landscaping and more.

Lanxon said she feels very proud to be associated with the Sheffield Public Library.

“This was a lifelong dream of mine and has been a great fit for me since my retirement from teaching,” Lanxon said.

“In the past year, many changes have been made to the interior and exterior of the building, along with improvements in the quality of the collection and also in the area of technology. My goal as Sheffield’s librarian is to be able to provide a comfortable, clean and pleasant retreat where our patrons can find the reading materials they need, provide assistance to our users in the areas of technology, and promote reading for all ages.

Special hearing in Neponset held on infrastructure project NEPONSET — No questions were asked from the public at a special hearing held July 24 by the Neponset Village Board on an infrastructure project in the village.

Mayor Carl Rohrig introduced Kendall Cramer, community development coordinator for the North Central Illinois Council of Governments (NCICG).

The village hired NCICG in 2010 to prepare and submit a grant application to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, resulting in the village receiving $350,000 for its water treatment system improvements.

The village leveraged the CDAP grant by contributing about $614,087 to the project, which brought the total project cost, including engineering and administration, to about $964,087.

The general contractor was D.J Sickley Co., Inc. The engineer for the project was Willett Hoffmann and Associates.

Grant funds were used to construct a hydrous manganese oxide filtration system to remove high levels of radium in the village’s water system. The village underwent this project to comply with a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency administrative order.

No questions were asked from the audience.

South of the Border Editor’s note: Tiskilwa resident Hanna Ganther is working as an intern in Mexico during her summer break from college, as she works with babies in an orphanage. Ganther will continue to update readers on her adventure South of the Border.

I only have less than one week left. Less than one week left with these precious babies, Less than one week left with the amazing people I have met here.

Just less than one week. The time went by way too fast. I’m not ready to leave yet. I don’t want to say good-bye. Yes I miss home, my family and friends.

But as one of the other interns said in a conversation, COMMENTARY “Yes I would love to see everyone again, but not at the cost of leaving here.”

I love it here so much. I love being close to the ocean. I love the people I have met. I love the babies. Oh I love them so much. It’s going to be so hard to leave them. We have come a long way from the time I first got here.

Maria and Daniela would barely acknowledge me. Now they both come to me for so many different things. For comfort. To gowa (go on a walk with Daniela.) They reach their little arms for me to pick them up now, and it just melts my heart.

I know now how to best rock Jesus in order to get him to go to sleep. I have seen how much Amelia and Santiago have improved since they first got here.

I’ve been pooped on, peed on, spit up on, sneezed on and who knows what else. But I have also cuddled, gotten abrazos y besos (hugs and kisses), laughed at the goofy things, and seen many smiles. There have been days where it has been rough, when someone is sick or the girls have their freak outs. But the times of laughter and joy completely outweigh those rough days.

I’ve been so blessed to be here this summer. It’s been amazing to see growth and changes in all of our babies. I have learned so much about all of them and what they struggle with because of the hard places from which they come. There is so much going on in their little heads that I had no idea about. I didn’t know about attachment issues or sensory issues before I came here. I still have a lot to learn, but I’m looking forward to that journey of more learning and discovering. I really hope this is not my last time here, that God will call me back. That it’s not a goodbye, but a “I’ll see you later.” Even if the babies get adopted and I never see them again, I can only hope and pray that someday I’ll see them in heaven.

This summer has been amazing. The best one so far. I wonder what God has in store for me the rest of my life and what the other summers will hold.

Constitution of the United States, 1789

How a legend is made ...

I remember as a mischievous lil’ urchin, being drawn to and fascinated with the various characters — and their almost mythological feats — found in the expansive canon of American folklore. Some loosely based on selected facts, though wildly exaggerated for storytelling ... .others magically conjured from the depths of the imagination.

There was Paul Bunyan, superhuman lumberjack, traversing the north woods with his blue ox, performing random acts of lumberjackery (I just made that word up).

Johnny Appleseed, coming across as a “Little House on The Prairie” version of a wandering, peace and love filled “Dead Head,” though the seeds he so freely shared were much different (and far less hallucinogenic) than those revered later on by those Grateful Dead fanatics.

Always a favorite was John Henry, who walked the walk, yet unfortunately perished while proving that a good man, no matter how well intentioned, was no match for a machine.

And we are all familiar by now with the wacky tale of Charles Nelson Reilly, flamboyant 1970s TV game show panelist who, using an uncanny, telepathic gift for matching, was capable of sending contestants home only slightly richer than they arrived, while providing Gene Rayburn with continued employment several years beyond what was reasonable.

Later in life, the most appeal-

Chuck Mason COMMENTARY ing thing about folk heroes was that, as a parent, after exposing my children to these classic figures and their epic stories, I could spontaneously make up the most unbelievable facts about the most intriguing characters, delivered with an unwavering sincerity, only to watch my wide-eyed children, after hanging on my every word, go out into the world and convincingly retell these tales, thus creating and preserving our own family folklore.

Most have been relegated to the dusty, back room of our collective memory, vaguely remembered only at those bi-annual holiday gatherings when embarrassing your loved ones with such tales has become as big a part of the celebration as the turkey or Grandma’s traditional “happy punch.”

However, there is one story which has stood the test of time. Told and retold innumerable times, this narrative, which recounts the life and times of an almost iconic character has legend written all over it.

Beginning innocently enough, it was years ago at Steak ‘n Shake, our favorite destination for a fine dining experience. We sat there, patiently awaiting our meal, knowing from experience (and the shiv-

er inducing nasally pitch of her voice) that our easily distracted teenage server was, at that very moment, not so much concerned with alleviating our hunger as she was with informing the entire staff and most of the patrons that we were horrible parents. Not understanding how picky most 6 year olds can be, she found it an appalling notion that we had ordered full meals, while our child would be partaking in a single crock of tasty baked beans and a small strawberry shake.

So, as the judgment behind the etched glass partition continued, we humored ourselves as the hungry often do, by playing silly placemat games and drawing caricatures of the other customers with the three waxy crayons found on our table. Soon tiring of this, I noticed my daughter silently struggling to sound out a word on a sign behind me.

“Tack ... Tayko ... Tako-mosaic,” she sputtered.

I turned, glimpsing the lit neon sign dangling above the counter.

“Takhomasak” it blinked, which of course is meant to be read “take home a sack.” Without hesitation, and in an almost reverent tone, the legend of “Tah-coma-sak,” great Iroquois warrior chief and inventor of the hamburger, began.

I’m guessing you’ll never find that miniseries on The History Channel.

TO Letter THE Editor

Are they closing in?

To the Editor, While the Dioceses of Peoria grows more wealthy as the Bishop closes and sells most of the “merged” churches due to his policy of “growing in faith together,” what I see is many parishioners losing their faith altogether.

When I was the ADA director in the ‘90s, we had 198 Catholic churches in the Diocese of Peoria; now there are 158. There were 128 families that attended St. Thomas More in Dalzell; now since closing and opening our church, there are 20 families that attend.

Once the merging is finished there will be one church in each town, and some towns will be without a church like Seatonville and Ladd.

The Diocese of Peoria may not have more than 40-50 churches in its Diocese, once the merg-

ing is accomplished.

We don’t have to do what they are saying; we should speak out against “growing in faith together,” and tell the Bishop to make the priests in the Diocese work a little harder by saying a Mass in churches they are closing. Let the laity handle the administrative/physical operation.

If I could get an audience with Pope Francis, I would tell him of the destruction of many churches because of Peoria Diocese policies.

I see nothing wrong with Father Spilman of the Nativity of Our Lord Church (St. Anthony’s) handling the Masses in the other two churches in Spring Valley — Sts. Peter and Paul and Immaculate Conception. Our priest, Father Fixsen of Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Cherry, has to travel to Dalzell and Arlington to give us Masses over the weekend. Father

Spilman will not have to travel to other towns— all the churches are in Spring Valley, and these churches won’t have to close or be sold.

I have said there are but a few priests that emulate the poor Nazarene and the humble Jesus. Priests take a vow of poverty, chastity and obedience. Today, there are few priests that follow those vows, and I see many priests drive some of the most expensive autos sold today. When it comes to autos, poverty is not a part of a priest’s vows.

It is time the parishioners take back the churches they paid for, furnished and repaired.

Today we have Bishops and priests who live comfortably while parishioners struggle for their church’s survival.

I think it is hypocritical to fill one’s mouth with pious words, based on scriptural readings and yet not lack of anything,

while parishioners feel the stress of merged churches meeting their commitment of a weekend Mass that once existed in their hometown.

Who can we reach to influence the Bishop to change his mind? We should go to the Diocese and bring along the press and TV cameras to tell our side of the story that is never told. We must never give up the fight for our churches. “Growing in faith together” is just another way to destroy many of the churches that existed years ago. The Diocese will be richer, but the merged towns and churches will be poorer.

Read Sister Agnes Sasagawa’s statement on the chastisement where churches and altars will be destroyed when Satan takes over the churches.

Is Satan and the chastisement closing in on us?

Following this very complicated surgery, along with a week at Perry Memorial Hospital to begin healing, Kay chose to come to Colonial Healthcare & Rehabilitation Centre for her continued rehabilitation and recovery. Here is what Kay had to say about her stay at Colonial: “Sometimes older is better because of seasoning and wisdom. My stay at Colonial was awesome! The staff was like one happy family welcoming you with pride to their home. My needs were anticipated and every need was met with generosity and a smile. My observation was everyone was treated the same. The food was excellent!

The therapy was tremendous! I would recommend HEALTHCARE AND REHABILITATION CE Colonial to everyone!”

Good-bye Smithfield; hello China How often do we think about where our food comes from? Who is to thank for the pork chop, T-bone or bratwurst that is going to be on your grill this weekend?

Most people don’t have a lot of time to put much thought or concern into these questions; we just know we can go to the grocery store and get it from the meat counter.

I think it might be time that we start to pay a little more attention to where the food we buy comes from, and who we are supporting by making our choices. It could make a difference to our communities and our country.

Recently, the largest American pork producer and processor (Smithfield Foods) was bought by a Chinese company (Shuanghui Interna-

trol of Smithfield, it is safe to speculate that the exports of pork from the United States to China will increase. An increase in exports of U.S. pork means less pork and potentially higher prices domestically.

Smithfield is not the first American-based protein producer and/or processor to be bought by a foreign company.

In 2007, Brazilian-based company JBS purchased Swift & Co. (U.S. based beef and pork processor).

This same company also purchased Pilgrim’s Pride (U.S. poultry producer) in 2009.

The precedent has been set. We are littleby-little giving up control over an important part of our growth and survival as humans. Putting our protein assets in the hands of foreign coun-

Kyle Hayse COMMENTARY tional). Smithfield produces about 14 percent and processes around 26 percent of America’s pork. With this purchase, the Virginia-based company will no longer be a publicly-traded company, leaving it with little domestic control.

China is the No. 1 pork consuming country in the world. With their growing appetite and limited space, it is no surprise that they would be looking to secure imports and not leave the satisfaction of their appetite for pork in another country’s hands.

With Shuanghui in con-

tries will eventually take us out of the front of the chow line, left with our hand out for what they do not want or need.

This buyout and the speculated changes to follow could be opportunity for smaller pork producers to expand. It is up to the small companies and the familyowned operations to fill the gap that will be left by higher exports, but we need your help. We need people that will take pride in buying the quality pork products that we are proud to produce for you. We need patriotic consumers. With your help, we can stay in control of our country’s food and at the front of the line.

This year, it became clear that extra space was needed to accommodate all the requests by exhibitors, and the investment would need to be made to accommodate those requests.”
