PMH is financially stable City-owned hospital loses $1.3 million

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Although Perry Memorial Hospital lost $1.3 million last year, the city-owned hospital remains financially stable.

Conger said in the PMH’s annual report to the community, “The long-term, financial strength of the hospital has been retained because of good financial planning and a conservative approach to operations.”

Conger also indicated that the implementation of the Affordable Care

That was the message the Princeton City Council heard at its meeting Monday from Rex Conger, PMH’s president and chief executive officer, and Mike Harrell, the hospital’s interim chief financial officer.

Act at the same time the nation’s economy was still recovering from the “Great Recession” was a financial challenge for hospitals like PMH. “Thankfully, Perry saw the problem coming and stopped further construction and renovation at the end of 2009,” added Conger. “For the last

four years, we have been watching the changes take place and avoiding as much expense as possible. We have stopped providing services that had grown smaller, and that we could no longer financially support — with what we were being paid.”

He reported the closure of the hospital’s OB

Department and Perry Home Medical as the largest impact of closures during the past fiscal year.

“Healthcare providers struggling in the current healthcare environment is not uncommon,” Conger said, citing the building of new hospitals in Kewanee

Spring Valley amends code for possible medical marijuana site

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — The Spring Valley City Council has approved an amendment to the city’s land development code to meet the requirements needed for a medical marijuana cultivation facility.

At Monday’s meeting, the council went along with the recommendation to amend the code as provided by the planning commission, which met on Aug. 6.

The city will now be able to submit an application to endorse becoming a possible site for a cultivation facility.

According to the plan commission meeting minutes, Plan Commission Chairman George Forsa questioned why the ordinance did not also include granting special uses for cannabis dispensaries. In turn, Spring Valley City Attorney Jim Andreoni explained the only inquiries the city had received at the present time were regarding cultivation facilities.

Forsa recommended the city look into the possibility of further amending the land development code to allow dispensaries as special uses in certain commercial districts.

At Monday’s council meeting, Alderman Dave Pellegrini asked Economic Development Director Debb Ladgenski about the interest in the cannabis dispensaries.

She confirmed a pharmaceutical company had contacted her looking for both a cannabis cultivation and dispensary site.

Park District approves multi-million dollar budget

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton Park District is looking financially secure for the moment, but there’s always a concern for the future, according to executive director Elaine Russell.

At Monday’s meeting, the Princeton Park Board approved its 201415 fiscal year budget which shows estimated revenue of about $3.1 million, including beginning cash-

on-hand from the 2013-14 fiscal year. Total estimated expenses are projected at $3 million.

The 2014-15 budget includes the purchase of a new park truck, continued repair of the Metro Center parking lot, a new air conditioning unit for the main level of the Metro Center, electronic upgrade to the ventilation system in the Metro Center pool, and various other park and facility maintenance.

On Tuesday, Russell said the park district has a relatively

simple routine when it comes to building and living within a yearly budget. She has a group of fellow employees who felt the impact of the financial downturn in 2008 and has worked with her and the board to create a revenue/expense system that has worked well for the district, the executive director said.

“What I always strive for when working on the budget is financial security. Can I confidently say the park district has financial security? Yes, for the moment,” Russell

Supportive Living is the BEST idea he ever had!

• Elegant accommodations & dining area • Personal assistance with daily needs • Housekeeping & laundry services • Medication Reminders • Recreational & social programs • Medicaid Certified

said. “Am I concerned about our future? Of course, we all should be concerned about our future because we have no idea what might present itself that could be extremely costly and not in the budget. Am I pleased (with the new budget)? Extremely.”

In other business at Monday’s meeting, Russell reviewed the Alexander Park outdoor swimming pool financials for the current season.

LaMoille woman is chosen for Illinois Agri-Women Hall of Fame

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

LAMOILLE — Eleanor Zimmerlein of LaMoille was honored at this year’s Illinois State Fair by her fellow Illinois Agri-Women.

She was nominated as the second inductee into the Illinois Agri-Women Hall of Fame for her tireless efforts in promoting agriculture and for playing an active role in persuading politicians to rethink legislation she didn’t see fit for farmers.

Zimmerlein’s journey with the Illinois AgriWomen began in the 1970s, however it wasn’t until 1987 she began playing a more active role in the group, which seeks to promote a better understanding of agriculture and the family farm system.

Through her involvement in the association, she traveled to Washington, D.C., 15 years in a row to meet with congressmen, members of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) and other officials associated with agriculture to discuss legislation being put forth.

When issues or regulations arose that Zimmerlein did not agree with, she wasn’t the type to sit back and watch things unfold.

“I would get so perturbed when I would read something I knew was out of this world and I would write a letter,” she said.

Politicians were sure not to miss Zimmerlein’s bright yellow stationary she wrote to them on.

Along the bottom of the paper, the motto read “farming is your bread and butter.”

Aside from her role in the Illinois Agri-Women, she’s served on numerous boards and commit-

After looking into the requirements needed for a dispensary, Ladgenski said she discovered that they cannot be within 1,000 feet of a school or daycare and only one site within the city met the size requirements the party had been asking about.

Aldermen Jim Talaino and Jack Narczewski questioned Ladgenski about who the company was that was asking about the site, which she explained she didn’t want to publicize the name, as the matter only relates to private negotia-

Eleanor Zimmerlein stands outside her LaMoille home with the Illinois Agri-Women Hall of Fame award she recently received at the Illinois State Fair. Zimmerlein was nominated by her fellow Illinois Agri-Women to be the second member inducted into the association’s hall of fame. Zimmerlein has played a leading role in promoting agriculture and the family farm system. tees, including the Lee County Board, Lee County Farm Bureau, state Rep. Christian Mitchell’s Ag Committee, Illinois Farm Bureau and more.

She’s served a term as president for the Illinois Agri-Women and was the Land Use Chairman for the American Agri-Women. She currently sits on the local affairs committee for Lee County.

Zimmerlein admits private property rights is something that’s always been important to her. Being on the farm her whole life and working around regulations made by people who have never experienced farm life is something that doesn’t sit well with her.

“You struggle for years to pay for your property and then someone comes along and says, ‘Well you should

paint your house yellow,’” she explained. “They’ve got no involvement. So that’s one thing that get my blood up.”

To Zimmerlein, the U.S. EPA doesn’t take into account any of the improvements farmers have already made over the years.

“They keep raising the bar on you,” she said. “If you spend money to come into their rules and regula-

tions, then five years down the line they change everything and make you spend a lot more money.”

Aside from her ongoing active role in political issues, Zimmerlein is known to still run a grain cart and offer a helping hand on the family farm.

Her passion for the farm life stems from the idea of doing a job you can sit back and watch grow and devel-

opment right before your eyes.

“You can see God’s work around here. I think that’s why more people around here are religious people, because seeing the stuff grow and rain come — Farming takes a lot of skill, but if you don’t get the rain at the proper time, we’re out of luck.”

tions as of now.

When the ordinance to amend the city’s land development code came to a vote, Talaino and Narczewski both passed.

In other news, the council: • Heard City Engineer

Larry Good report the amendment to the Safe Routes to School grant was made and signed by Mayor Walt Marini before being submitted last week. Marini said he thought the city should hear back on the status of the grant within a

couple weeks. He said the grant amount is $670,000.

• Authorized Good to advertise for bids for demolition and asbestos abatement for the buildings located at 200, 202 and 124 E. Saint Paul Street.

• Approved to retain

Claire Manning and her law firm to act as lead council in ongoing negotiations between the city and the Illinois Attorney General’s Office. Marini explained the city hired Manning after it was discovered the city’s discharge from the lagoon at the wastewater treat-

ment plant was in noncompliance. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) turned over the case to the attorney general’s office, which the city is in current negotiations with right now.

Princeton to have fall clean-up starting Oct. 6 Clean-up items will now be picked up weekly

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The city of Princeton will be conducting a fall clean-up beginning Oct. 6.

City Manager Jeff Clawson told the Princeton City Council at its meeting Monday night that once this clean-up has been completed, the city will begin a new program to pick up items routinely with the weekly, regular garbage pick-up for the city’s residents.

“After the fall clean-up of 2014, the city will no longer do a spring or fall cleanup each year,” said Clawson. “Beginning on Oct. 20, all “eligible” items will be picked up week to week (with your regular garbage).

No additional fees will be charged as long as the volume of garbage overall does not increase beyond regular routine garbage pickup.”

Clawson said that if an item is eligible to be thrown away per the city’s existing standards, it will be eligible per the new standards.

“Recycling will continue to be handled as it has been. Curbside service for all residential customers will continue per your normal schedule on the same day as your regular garbage pick up,” he said.

Clawson said the yearly clean-ups are more expensive to the city than weekly picking up would be. He said city residents will receive a notice with their utility bills about the fall clean-up and new policy.

Clawson also reported that a sign has been ordered for the city’s recycling station and said city staff will be at the station on Fridays and Saturdays in September to educate the public about what can be recycled and what can’t be recycled.

He reported there will be signs at the recycling center about the dos and don’ts of recycling items.

He said pizza boxes and small plastic bags that are used by people to put recy-

cling items aren’t able to be recycled. The grease in the pizza boxes makes it too hard to break down while the small plastic bags can’t be recycled, indicated Clawson.

Mayor Keith Cain said people are watching other people dumping illegal items at the recycling center. Cain said he received several calls this weekend about this where people wrote down license plate numbers of those dumping illegal items that were passed onto the police department.

“We might not have our cameras up, but there are definitely citizens watching,” he said. “I believe these are the fourth phone calls I have personally received the last few months from somebody watching somebody else dump something that wasn’t supposed to be dumped there.”

Cain also asked people taking yardwaste to the recycling center to back their vehicle up to the pile.

“I went out there this weekend and there was something dumped 35 feet in front of other items. I can’t

orship CommUnity Worship

believe you can’t back in there and dump it. Don’t dump it out front. Make your best effort you can to get as far back as you can,” he said.

In other business, the council approved an ordinance increasing the Princeton Fire Department’s ambulance rates beginning Sept. 1 and held its first reading of an ordinance expanding the Bureau/Putnam Area Enterprise Zone to include five acres of land for an expansion of TCI Manufacturing in Walnut.

Clawson said there will be sanitary and storm sewer work conducted on South Church Street from Lake to Thompson streets and south of Lake Street to the end of the city this fall and next spring.

Since the Princeton City Hall will be closed on Labor Day, the next regular meeting of the council will be at 7 p.m. Sept. 2. Also, residents who have their garbage picked up on Monday will instead have it picked up the next day due to the Labor Day holiday.

focus their attention on the patients they are taking care of in the hospital to allow other physicians in the community have a better “home/work” balance to their lives.

“While last year was a challenge, we believe that the changes and opportunities that Perry Memorial (Hospital) has put into place will help “your hospital” to continue to grow and adapt to the new environment that is being created for healthcare in our country,” said Conger.

Harrell said the hospital’s audit conducted by McGladrey shows PMH’s financial position remains strong at $36.4 million with a net loss of $1.3 million for the year ending April 30. Net patient service revenue decreased 7.4 percent while total operating expenses decreased 4.8 percent. The hospital’s total compensation related expenses were $18.2 million.

Perry Memorial Hospital’s recent financial picture shows the hospital lost $1 million three fiscal years ago, made $1.3 million two years ago, lost $700,000 last year and lost $1.3 million this year, Conger told commissioners.

Conger said PMH’s board of directors decided to pull money out of reserves when planning the budget for the new year to give its part of the economic recovery a jump start.

He cited adding two new full-time orthopedic surgeons, Dr. Frank Minardi and Dr. Boone Brackett, plus some benefit adjustment to assure the hospital retains its “great staff to provide the highest quality patient care and customer service.”

Conger also reported the transition of Princeton Family Physicians to become part of the hospital as Perry Memorial Family Health Clinic as a new opportunity for PMH to add other experienced nurse practitioners and physicians to support the medical needs of the area into the future.

He also reported the initiation of a hospitalist service at PMH would help the hospital draw younger physicians to Princeton.

Budget From Page 1 The summer of 2014 has not exactly been the best outdoor pool season, Russell told the park board. However, there are two sides to be considered. Because of the poor weather conditions, salaries were reduced slightly and, most importantly, less chemicals were required to maintain cleanliness in the pool, she said.

“Putting it into dollars and cents, Alexander Park Pool is not a money-maker but a family recreation facility the park district provides our public,” Russell said Tuesday. “Expenses exceed revenues approximately $40,000 each year but this is anticipated and worked into the yearly budget.”

The Alexander Park pool is now operating on reduced hours, opening from 2 to 6 p.m. weekdays, Russell said. Wednesday evenings, the pool will remain open until 8:30 p.m. Weekend hours will be 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Weather permitting, the outdoor pool will be open Labor Day and close for the season the next day.

In still other business at Monday’s meeting, the board discussed recent memorial gifts in honor of the late Dick Nelson, past park board president who recently died.

The Princeton Park District was honored that Nelson’s family chose the park district as beneficiaries for donations, Russell said Tuesday. To date, more than $4,000 has been received in Nelson’s name and she continues to receive phone calls in regards to the Living Tree Memorial project, as well as other memorial projects at the park district, she said.

“A meeting of the Princeton Park District Foundation is currently being scheduled so we can discuss how to best remember all Dick has done for us from being park board president to backing the building of the Bureau County Metro Center,” Russell said.

Grant money will be used for water tower improvement project

By Nita Wyatt news@bcrnews.com

WALNUT—The Walnut Village Board has agreed on the use of the $50,000 grant received from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Development.

As announced at the Aug. 4 board meeting, the grant funds could be used for any current capital improvement project or could be applied to a project completed within the previous 18 months.

The village had originally applied for the grant in 2009.

At Tuesday’s meeting, the board decided by unanimous vote of the trustees present to use the grant money for the water tower improvement project, completed in spring 2014 at a cost of $60,000. The funds, when received, would be paid into the Water and Sewer account as a partial reimbursement of the funds

spent on the water tower.

In additional tabled business from the Aug. 4 meeting, Acting Board President Dennis Grobe asked if all board members had taken the opportunity to review the proposed ordinance for the operation of non-highway vehicles within the village limits. All members had reviewed the ordinance and questioned whether the stipulation regarding the police chief, or his designate, inspecting the vehicles was presenting a hardship to the police department.

In response, Police Chief Tom Ptasnik said he did not feel this would be a problem but he would require the vehicle to be brought to the village hall or other designated area, rather than the police going to the location of the vehicle.

The board accepted this as a valid condition.

After additional discussion, the board adopted

the new ordinance on a 3-2 vote. After the vote, the board stressed citations will be issued for violations of traffic rules.

Ptasnik also presented a proposal to the board for the purchase of at least one new taser for use by the department.

A new X26P taser would cost $855 with this particular model being able to use the current supply of cartridges. The police department currently has one working taser, which could be traded in on the new one with the village receiving $163 for the trade-in, the police chief said.

The board questioned if this transaction would give the police department one or two operating tasers. Ptasnik said this would give the department one taser. After further discussion, the board agreed to buy two new tasers and trade in one.

Superintendent Carl Minks brought to the board meeting two quotes

for the purchase of two new mowers for the village. Both quotes were for 52-inch and 61-inch mowers. The first quote was for Ferris brand mowers and was in the amount of $21,515 from Peabody’s Equipment in Sterling.

The second quote, in the amount of $22,575, was from Sublette Mechanical in Dixon for Skaggs brand mowers.

Board member Tom Stone asked the approval for the purchase of new mowers be tabled until the Sept. 2 board meeting so board members would have the opportunity to see the proposed mowers prior to making a decision.

The board agreed to table this issue until the next meeting.

Grobe requested the Law and Order Committee have a meeting in the next week, which was then scheduled for Aug. 27 at 5:30 p.m. at the village meeting room.

First human case of WNV confirmed in Illinois

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has confirmed the first human case of West Nile Virus (WNV) in Illinois for 2014.

On Monday, IDPH director LaMar Hasbrouck said the victim was a woman in her 70s who became ill in July, as reported by the Chicago Department of Public Health. This first human case is a good reminder that people still need to take precautions against WNV-infected mosquitoes, Hasbrouck said.

Bureau/Putnam County Health Department Director of Health Protection Kurt Kuchle said the local health department is continuing its surveillance through the collection of dead birds and mosquito samples.

No financial review for Dixon

By Matt Mencarini Shaw Media Service

DIXON – There will be no review of the city’s current financial controls. At least for now.

On Monday night, the Dixon City Council voted 3-2 against placing a contract on file that would have brought in Sikich, a Naperville-based accounting and consulting company, to review the financial controls and make recommendations for additional controls or procedures.

The contract could have cost the city about $35,000.

Voting against the contract were commissioners Dennis Considine, Colleen Brechon and Jeff Kuhn.

All three said they were confident in the current controls that have been implemented since the hire of Finance Director Paula Meyer in 2012, in the wake of former Comptroller Rita Crundwell’s arrest for the theft of nearly $54 million over two decades.

Considine said investing another $35,000 into the finance department would be irresponsible given all the changes – Meyer’s hire, the hire of City Administrator David Nord, and new accounting software and systems – that have taken place at city hall.

“We haven’t even given the systems we have in place a chance to work,” he said.

“And if the next council and mayor want it taken care of, then they can invest the city’s $35,000 to the best of their ability.”

Mayor Jim Burke and Commissioner Dave Blackburn voted in favor of placing the contract on file.

“I think in the interest of total transparency – and this no reflection on Paula at all – but I think that we need to have a firm that comes in, takes a look at what we have done,” Burke said. “And if it’s

the entire geography of the state, Kuchle said. Bird testing is also one of the requirements for a grant received by the health department for funding a WNV surveillance program, he said.

As far as mosquito testing samples, the local health department has done 15 mosquito pool tests from Bureau County and six from Putnam County this season, Kuchle said. The local health department has three mosquito traps in Bureau County and one in Putnam County. Mosquito testing will end sometime in September, or with the first hard frost, he said.

Looking at the extent of mosquito activity this year, Kuchle said history shows hot dry weather increases the number of container breeding mosquitoes, which are the ones what

carry the virus. However, the number of mosquitoes varies by location, he said.

According to the IDPH, West Nile Virus has been reported in birds, mosquitoes and/or human case in 32 counties in Illinois so far this year. At this time last year, the virus was reported in 49 counties.

Looking ahead to coming weeks, Kuchle said area residents should continue to practice the IDPH recommended 3R precautions (Reduce, Repell, Report) to limit exposure to infected mosquitoes.

Residents should reduce exposure by avoiding being outdoors when mosquitoes are most active, making sure doors

as clean as it amounts to, that’s fine. But there may be some recommendations to make.”

Burke also said that contract with Sikich would cover things the city’s current audit, done by Wipfli, doesn’t cover.

Since Meyer’s hire, the city has hired another employee in the finance department and hired Nord as its first city administrator. There are now five employees in the Finance Department who work under Meyer, Nord and City Clerk Kathe Swanson.

Meyer has limited her ability to update or input information into the city’s accounting system and the no longer writes checks. Both were done by design.

Each of the five employees has a different responsibility, from inputting changes to printing and mailing checks. No single employee can individually complete the entire process.

“There are many things we can do with $35,000 in this city besides stumble over our feet,” Considine said. “We already are as clear as crystal glass in our financial department. And I think we’re one of the best cities in the country at this point in time. We haven’t even given everything we’ve done a chance.”

Brechon said she agreed with Considine and doesn’t think the city needs to spend more money to have someone tell them they have adequate controls. She also said she doesn’t think the city needs to have a company evaluate the quality of the controls against best practices.

“I’m not sure that’s something I want the company to come along and tell me,” she said. “I mean, as a council member, I feel like it’s my responsibility to listen, to reflect and to listen to what the community has to say and to vote. I’m not sure that it’s my job to have a company come in and tell me that, as a commissioner.”

People should also repell mosquitoes by wearing shoes and socks, long

pants and a long-sleeved shirt when outdoors and applying insect repellent that containt DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR 3535.

As the final 3R recommendation, people should

also contact their local municipal government/ health department to report dead birds or areas of stagnant water, Kuchle said.

Look at me, Mom, look at me!

Earlier this summer our Michigan daughter sent a video of her two daughters riding their bikes without training wheels. They were yelling back to their mom, “Look at me, Mom, look at me!”

I couldn’t help but smile as I heard those words that all parents hear probably numerous times a COMMENTARY day, “Look at me, Mom, look at me.”

It seems like yesterday, when our daughter was riding her own little pink bike for the first time without training wheels and yelling for us to look at her, look at her. There is something so sweet and innocent about children wanting to be noticed and admired by their parents.

But kids grow up and become independent and mature and don’t need their parents to look at them any more … or do they?

I recently read an article, in a “Chicken Soup for the Soul” book, about a man, then in his 40s, who still wanted his dad to “look at him.” The father knew what his son did as a career, where he lived, and about his family. But the son felt his father hadn’t really “seen” him in a long time.

So the son arranged for a trip with just him and his dad. On that trip, the son started opening up to his father about some of his insecurities and worries, how he felt his work was never quite good enough and that he feared his creativity would dry up one day.

To make a long story short, through the course of that trip, the father began to “see” his son more clearly, as he really was, beyond the surface things he did. The father began to encourage and admire his son again.

I finished reading that article and couldn’t help but think about how I have three grown daughters, and I want them to know I still see them. I still care about what is happening in their lives, beyond the obvious things. I still care about their dreams and goals, their struggles and insecurities, those things that are intangible. I still admire them.

In some ways, I think most of us still want someone to “see” us. Even the most emotionally healthy of us, still have that need to be admired and really “seen” by those who know us best.

A couple weeks ago we drove to Michigan to “see” our daughter and her family. We watched our granddaughters ride their bikes without training wheels.

We talked about jobs and the start of school. We also talked about other stuff, more personal stuff. And as we started home for Illinois, I hoped my family had felt they had been seen by me.

Say good-bye to your awkward days We all want to be heard and to be understood. At the same time, we all have a fear that we have too much insecurity or weirdness hindering our ability to connect with other people. Or am I the only one who feels this way? Ah goodness, I hope not.

Well, this just got awkward.

Now what does awkward even mean? I hear people using the word awkward to describe their own selves during a conversation when they feel embarrassed. People even use it as an apology as in, “Sorry, I’m awkward” or “Oh yeah I totally got awkward there.” Saying things like this turns all those rare moments of vulnerability into moments of dread. We laugh it off in the moment using that handy little word. But then later in the privacy of our own rooms, we playback the “awkward moment” and curse ourselves for being so stupid.

Resigned to forever cover up any future social encounter with an apology, we hide behind a selfinflicted title.

Let me tell you ... you are not awkward.

At the most, you are a work in progress just like the rest of us.

Every time you are out in public

Kathy Tun COMMENTARY with other people, you are given an opportunity to practice expressing yourself. Make this your mantra instead: Today is practice. You will feel less inclined to worry about social encounters afterward because today was a new trial and error experience. Certainly like any other skill, you may struggle at times to feel comfortable when talking to other people. Maybe you’ll stumble across your words, speak too softly or quickly, or speak your innermost thoughts out loud. Never fear that this experience could actually be a good thing.

How will you know who you are if you do not give yourself the permission to be you, regardless of what others might think? Social encounters are a great way to learn about yourself and the quirks that make up your personality. Of course, some awkwardness may be due to nerves, but for the most

part, your beliefs and the way you express them can tell you a lot about the person you are today — not the person you will be for the rest of your life.

Because, remember, today is practice. You are right in the middle of life’s meat and potatoes. This is a time rich with learning experiences and great opportunities to connect with other people just as you are.

Rather than excusing yourself for your personality, keep trying to find ways to communicate in a way that you feel proud of yourself. When you can reach this level of confidence you will attract the right kind of people into your life, the ones who don’t mind if you are “awkward.”

In the process, surrounding yourself with a supportive network of people will help you grow as a person. Soon enough your awkward days will become non-existent.

What used to be awkward will now just be another part of who you are.

And you’ll begin to believe that even those parts of your personality are pretty great.

Currently the senior director for federal business development at MorphoTrak in its Alexandria, Va., office, Klug earned his bachelor of science in criminalistics at the University of Illinois at Chicago (at the time one of only 13 forensic science programs in the United States). He practiced as a forensic scientist at the Northern Illinois Police Crime Laboratory.

Minnick to serve on new Iowa volunteer group CLINTON, Iowa — Charlie Minnick, vice president/ campus director of Ashford University, formerly of Ohio, Ill., has been appointed by Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad to the Iowa Commission on Volunteer Service. Minnick’s appointment was effective July 1 and is not subject to Iowa Senate confirmation.

In February, Branstad created the Governor’s Council on National Service in Iowa. Being led by the Iowa Commission on Volunteer Service, the council includes leaders from state agencies, higher education

and the private sector and will make recommendations on how to expand national service for Iowans.

Minnick “I am both humbled and honored to be appointed

by Gov. Branstad to the Volunteer Service Commission,” Minnick said.

“I applaud Gov. Branstad for creating this first in the nation Governor’s Council and am excited to contribute however I can to engage a new genera-

tion of Iowans in making a positive difference in the lives of other human beings.”

According to Brandstad’s office, the Governor’s Council on National Service in Iowa will complement the national initiative, the Franklin Project, which is working to develop a national online technology platform, creating a national service certification system and trying to increase the number of one-year national service opportunities in the country.

Health department releases scores The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department makes routine and unannounced visits each month to various food service establishments in Bureau and Putnam counties to inspect the operation.

Health inspectors use an identical scorecard at each facility, where they check for health code compliance in 45 areas. Each area carries a rating from one to five, with five being the most critical.

Inspectors check the entire

operations of the facility in 14 different categories, such as food protection, personnel and garbage and refuse disposal.

Beginning with a score of 100 points, the health inspector deducts one to five points for every violation.

The final total is the facility’s inspection report score.

A passing food inspection score is 65 or above.

At 65, the Bureau/Putnam County ordinance allows the health depart-

ment to close an establishment, but a score doesn’t have to be that low for the department to close it. It depends on the number of critical and non-critical violations and the type of violations. Certain combinations can create a domino effect for food borne outbreaks.

All inspection reports are a matter of public record and can be seen at the Bureau County Health Department in Princeton.

Tiger soccer preview

The Blue and Gray New coach brings in flat four defense

By Jeff Schlesinger sports@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — A new era starts this fall for Princeton boys soccer as David Gray becomes the third coach in the history of the program.

Gray’s resume includes more on field experience than previous coaches.

“It doesn’t mean everything, but I hope my experience as a player can translate to the team – enthusiasm, energy, technical ability and tactical understanding,” he said. “Hopefully it’ll be higher quality soccer. But as much as I can do as a coach, it will up to the boys.”

Gray, a 2000 graduate of PHS, played under Princeton’s first coach, John Garvin, for four years.

He followed this up with four years of soccer at Monmouth College. He has served as the girls’ freshmen

and sophomore coach as well as assisted with both the boys and girls varsity teams in the past.

Defense will be the foundation of Gray’s teams.

“I think you build out of the back,” said Gray, who succeeds Jason Bird as head coach. “I start with defense.”

“We’re playing a different defensive strategy this year,” said senior captain Drew Pranka. “We’ve shifted into the flatback four. We’ll have to play a lot more cohesively. Overall it should help us move the ball forward through the backfield instead of just lobbing it over the top.”

With the flatback four defense, fans will see four defenders lined up across the width of the field and pushing forward when the Tigers possess the ball. But when the other team is in possession, depending on where in the field the attack comes from, the appropriate defender will step up to challenge the ball and the others will rotate behind him.

The Princeton Tigresses opened the 2014 golf season with a 207-248 win over host Putnam County at Edgewood Golf Course Tuesday in McNabb.

Senior Sophia Suarez earned medalist honors, shooting a 48. She used only 13 putts in the process.

“The girls played their hearts out after a very slow start, getting over the first match jitters and nervousness,” PHS coach Will Gross said. “The girls are already focused on what they need to improve upon at our next practice

and prepare ourselves for an extremely tough match up Thursday night at Oak Ridge against host L-P.” Kelsey Grosenbach paced PC with a 51.

This picture taken from the drone belonging to PHS coach Tim Taylor and PHS neighbor shows a birds’ eye view of the school colors going up around Princeton High School. Parents of PHS football camps organized a painting party that painted Tiger Town blue and white.

We’ve got spirit, how about you?

Talk about your school spirit.

The streets around Princeton High School are oozing with it.

The captains parents of the Tiger football team organized a paint party Sunday to paint the (Tiger) town blue. Three sides around the school — Euclid Avenue in front, Central Avenue to the north and Homer Street to the east — are decked out in Tiger blue with paw prints up and down the street accompanied with a big inscription of “Tigers” in white trimmed in blue.

Most of the PHS cheerleaders and many other football parents pitched in also, including many booster club members.

The captains’ parents went around the neighborhood to get approval and Tiger mom Kelley

Fisher (Jett Wedekind) said the neighbors were “extremely supportive and encouraging.”

They got some great aerial shots (see above) from Crown Street neighbor and baseball coach Tim Taylor via his drone to show off their work.

Tiger captains include Michael Camp, Tyler Clark, Zach Friel, Jake Reinhardt and Jett Wedekind.

All the Tiger teams, are going to be the envy of opposing teams

when they venture into Tiger territory this fall and school year.

Nicely done, gang. What a tremendous show of school spirit. It’s going to get the Tigers even more fired up to play this school year.

PERU — If seven is a lucky number, the 2014 volleyball season should bring good luck to the St. Bede Lady Bruins.

“We graduated an experienced crew, but we are stepping right into the flow of this season with an experienced crew as well,” said Williams, a SBA alumnus, who begins her second year in her second stint as Lady Bruins coach.

Hurricanes take second The Bureau County Hurricanes baseball team placed second in the Beloit (Wis.) Bombers “Tournament of Champions.” The Hurricanes were comprised of 11 year old boys from Princeton and Spring Valley teams. On the first day, the boys from Bureau County won 21-2 and 10-0. On day 2, the boys won 3-2 and 7-2 before falling 6-1 in the championship game. Team members are (front row to back, from left) Adam Vigars, Travis Riordan, Grant Resetich, Carter Devert, and Jacob Riordan; (second row) Cole Wozniak, Brayden Debates, Noah Hoffmann, Tyler Gibson, Braden Boyles, and Jakob Pyszka; and (back row) manager Denny Boyles and coaches Dean Devert, Mike Vigars, and Jeff Debates.

2014 Princeton soccer schedule From Page 11

The flat four also lends itself well for one of the defenders to go on the attack and take an offensive role, much like in hockey. Pranka and fellow senior Zack Burrows may be well suited for this.

Junior Isaac Salazar will be tending the goal.

“He’s got some good fresh soph/JV experience. He’s got a big frame. I think he’s ready to man the goal well,” Gray said.

The squad currently consists of 20 members – 14 seniors and six juniors.

Gray says that there are some sophomores and freshman he’ll be rotating in but he has not named any on the team as of yet.

The offense will be anchored by returning midfielders Brenton Schmidt on the outside and Garrett Duffin, who moves inside this year.

“Tanner Kuhne will be an important midfielder,” Gray said. “Elliot Beetz is looking good as well. I look for him to take a leap forward this year.”

But perhaps the key to the offense will be the successful return of Ky Mecum.

A rare athlete who possess the triple threat of speed, quickness and strength, Mecum was out all of last year due to a knee injury.

“He got varsity time as an underclassman,” Gray said. “I’m looking forward to what he can do. If he’s healthy, he could account for a lot of our scoring. He worked on his touch when he couldn’t do much else. He’s been working hard.

Hopefully that all pays off.”

After opening the season in Stillman Valley on Monday, the Tigers travel to Oregon for what is one of the most anticipated parts of the season for Pranka.

“Every year we’ve been right there.

Last year we took second. It’d be great if we could win it this year,” he said.

Last year the Tigers advanced to the Sweet 16 of the state playoffs before bowing out to Somonauk in the sectional finals. This year?

“Of course we’d love to win regionals and then sectionals and go to state,” said Pranka, “that’s what every team wants.

But I’ll be happy if we play together as a team. If we do that, good things will happen.”

The Blue-White Soccer Night will be held Thursday in Tiskilwa.

MANLIUS — Last year’s Bureau Valley golf team was headed up senior Ryan Young. This year, the Storm are young all around.

BV coach Dan Gustafson said the final three spots on the varsity team this fall could very well be taken by freshmen, a group including Garrett Pistole, Ian Car, Colton Novotny and Jackson Hanson.

“They have shown a lot of promise during practices so far, however, they are still learning and us coaches are focusing on rebuilding the program,” Gustafson said.

To lead them, Gustafson turns to three returning varsity players from last year in senior captain Jacob Heidenreich and classmate Jay Norden and junior Harrison Brousseau.

“I am counting on their varsity experience and leadership throughout the season,” Gustafson said. “We look for great things to come out of our senior and juniors that are returning varsity members as they showed a lot of improvement

Lady Bruins From Page 11 with senior Samantha Whalen, has played varsity ball since she was a sophomore. She steps back in at the libero position to lead the Lady Bruins’ back row defense.

Williams said seniors Claire Dudek (5-11, OH), Michelle Reese (5-9, MH) and Christine Perona (5-10, OPP) and junior Hanna Bima (6-0, MH) “just keep getting stronger as we look forward to dynamic play at the net.”

The Lady Bruins coach is excited to have junior Sadie Long step in as lead setter having spent a lot of time setting in varsity practices the past two years to prepare.

“She is doing a great job running plays and working on timing with our hitters,” Williams said.

Senior Emma Perona will also do some setting along with time as a defensive specialist along with junior Julia Pohar.

Illinois Valley Scene

John Gorka to open Princeton Coffeehouse season Saturday PRINCETON — Singersongwriter John Gorka, famed for his albums and his live performances, will appear at the Princeton Coffeehouse at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23.

The Coffeehouse is located at Open Prairie, United Church of Christ, 25 E. Marion St., Princeton.

Doors open at 7 p.m.

Originally from New Jersey, Gorka got his start at a coffeehouse in eastern Pennsylvania. In 1987, Red House Records released his first album, “I Know,” which put him on the musical map. He signed with Windham Hill/High Street Records in 1989 and recorded five albums with them over the next seven years.

In 1998, Gorka decided to return to his musical roots at Red House Records. The choice was driven, in part, by the artistic integrity he

believes the label represents in an industry where the business of music too often takes precedence.

Having released 11 critically acclaimed albums, Gorka also embraces the experience of performing in small clubs, theatres and coffeehouses. “I’ve discovered some great places where people really listen to the music,” Gorka said in an interview with the Huffington Post. “Most of the places aren’t large or fancy ... they are smaller places where amazing things happen with the basic, primal sound of one’s voice, the rhythm of the lyrics, basic lighting and an audience.”

Many well known artists have recorded and/ or performed John Gorka songs, including Mary Chapin Carpenter, Nanci Griffith, Mary Black and Maura O’Connell. In

2010, Gorka released an album with his friends and Red House labelmates Lucy Kaplansky and Eliza Gilkyson under the name Red Horse. It landed on the Billboard Folk Charts and was one of the most played albums on folk radio.

John Gorka lives in Minnesota with his wife and two children. He continues to tour, playing festivals, theaters and clubs all over North America and Europe.

The John Gorka concert at the Coffeehouse is sponsored by the law firm of Russell, English, Scoma and Beneke.

The Princeton Coffeehouse offers traditional and modern folk, blues and bluegrass music on a monthly basis from August through May, with the exception of December. This season, general admission to a

This Week

Gorka Coffeehouse concert is $15. Season tickets, $120 for nine shows, may also be purchased at the first show. Fair trade coffee, tea and homemade desserts are available at every performance.

Open Prairie, the performance venue for the Coffeehouse, is completely accessible and there is ample free parking nearby. For more information, visit www. theprincetoncoffeehouse.com or call 815872-6501.

Hughes, an organic gardener who lives in Grand

Ridge, will discuss how to identify herbs, when and where to plant various herbs and the yield per plant. In addition to demonstrating harvesting and drying processes, she will also talk about the uses of herbs in cooking and baking. Her presentation will focus on three to four perennial herbs and about seven annual herbs. Handouts will be provided.

Participants will also

have the opportunity to buy raffle tickets for an herb basket composed and donated by master gardener Marge Renwick.

The value of the basket will be at least $75 and tickets will be $3 each or 2 for $5. The winner of the basket will be announced at the end of the presentation.

The presentation will include refreshments.

The cost is $8 per person and the public is invited.

To register, call the Reddick Mansion at 815-4336100. All money raised will be used for the preservation and renovation of the Reddick Mansion.

The Reddick Mansion, at 100 W. Lafayette St., was built in 1858, and is listed in the National Register of Historic Sites.

It is open to the public for tours and also has meeting/reception rooms available for rent for special events.

‘Bobby Ray,’ ‘Starvin’ Dog,’ come to Princeton Author to sign books at Homestead PRINCETON — It was almost 35 years ago that Jim Dossett and his wife, Brenda, first began visiting Princeton and Bureau County.

“I visited relatives here and was enamored with the area and the people from the first time I laid eyes on the place. We’ve considered moving here many times but never got around to it,” said Dos-

sett, who moved to Tennessee (the place where he was born) in 1997, to learn more about his family and his heritage.

“I wrote for a small newspaper in a rural community there, and I learned a lot; I learned that my given name was Bobby Ray and that my biological father was a bandit, who escaped from jails and prisons seven times, two times with the help of my biological mother and his mother,” Dossett said.

According to Dossett, that scenario was the impetus for writing the mostly fictional book,

“Finding Bobby Ray” which is acclaimed in portions of East Tennessee and elsewhere. His love affair with Princeton and the surrounding area provided the momentum for writing his second book, “Starvin’ Dog and the Guardians.”

“The entire book does not take place in a place like Princeton, but I believe the most important part does,” he said.

Readers of the book will notice Princeton in some descriptions of the town, which is named New Kingdom.

“I’ve dedicated the book

to a friend of mine, Max Coville, who has lived in the area for 86 years,” said Dossett.

Dossett will be available to sell and sign copies of the book during Homestead Festival, Sept. 12-13.

In the meantime, “Finding Bobby Ray” and “Starvin’ Dog and the Guardians” may be purchased on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble. com.

“I’m looking forward to talking to folks at the festival; maybe I’ll see some old acquaintances ...

I don’t know; it’s been a long time,” he said.

IVCC prepares for fall theater season OGLESBY — Illinois Valley Community College’s theatre department will be busy this fall with four productions — all performed off campus as the Cultural Centre undergoes upgrades.

Leading the season will be the musical comedy spoof “Dames At Sea,” a tapdancing, loving lampoon of 1930s backstage musicals.

Under the direction and choreography of Don Grant Zellmer, the fast-paced, tune-filled show follows the girl from Centerville who comes to Broadway and goes on to save the big show when the reigning egotistical diva gets seasick, and in the tradition of BusbyBerkley musicals, becomes a Broadway sensation.

“Dames At Sea” will be performed in St. Bede’s Little Theatre Oct. 16-19 and 23-26.

One week later, in celebration of the Halloween season, a return of the successful storyteller show will play on the St. Bede stage one night only Oct. 30: “Spooky Tales Shaken and Heard II.” Under the direction of

theatre instructor David A. Kuester and professional storyteller Trish Kelly, the show is a collection of scary tales told by individuals.

Rounding out the cast is the IVCC Show Choir, under the direction of Zellmer, performing Halloweenthemed numbers.

In November, the department will present theatre for children at the HegelerCarus Mansion, “Grunella The Story Stealer,” an original work by director Kuster.

Playing Nov. 13-15, with multiple shows per day, the show features much audience involvement as Grunella tries to hijack fairy tales and make herself the star of each instead of the princesses — all of whom have lost their memories due to her spell.

With the help of Fairy Godmother, Enchantra, and the audience, plans and spells are put in place to thwart Grunella’s plans.

The IVCC Show Choir, under Zellmer’s direction and choreography, will cap the semester with a holiday musical revue at St. Bede Dec. 5-6 with “Jingle Bell

Jukebox,” a fast-paced singing and dancing revue featuring traditional and pop sounds of the season.

The show will also feature holiday-themed comedy by the IVCC Improv Team, under the direction of Kuester, and the IVCC Choir, under the direction of Norman Engstrom.

Auditions are Aug. 27 and 28 for all productions and are open to students and community members.

Audition details will be released soon.

“The cast of our spring musical, Gypsy, was made up of about one-third community members; we value their dedication and involvement,” said Kuester. “By having this mix of all ages and backgrounds, our productions are a combination of both an educational opportunity for students, and a performing outlet for community members interested in theatre, dance, music and improvisational skills.

IVCC presents another community theatre opportunity for the many performers in the area.”

Beginning August 25th Dr. Robert Mestan, Dr. Arnold Faber & Trudy Argubright, Nurse Practitioner, will be joining Perry Memorial Hospital.

The new Perry Memorial Family Health Clinic will be located in the same location, have the same phone number, and all patient medical records will remain with the clinic. Patients will continue to see friendly and familiar faces of office and clinical staff that will also be joining Perry Memorial.

This new clinic will: • Enable us to grow and recruit additional providers to ensure the long term stability of the clinic.

• Provide our patients access to primary care with current and expanded services.

• Continue to provide the compassionate and quality healthcare services which has been the Hospital’s Mission since 1920.

We look forward to this transition as we embark on this new journey!

Demo derby a smash hit ​PRINCETON — The most unique attraction at the 150th Bureau County Fair in Princeton is the demolition derby, scheduled for 3 p.m. Aug. 24 and presented by Prescott Brothers Chrysler, Dodge and Ford, and sponsored by Spring Valley City Bank, M.C. Jones Concrete, Heartland Autobody and Princeton Prompt Care.

Demolition derbies always attract more people than any other event at the county fair because it is fun for both drivers and spectators. It’s an opportunity to break every traffic law there is and maybe get paid for it. The object is simple. Two rows of cars line up, rear bumper to rear bumper, and when the flag drops they race toward each other and meet in a huge traffic accident.

Drivers try to knock out all the other cars before they can knock him or her out. The spectators watching get as much of a kick out of the carnage as the drivers, picking their favorites and cheering them on.

The derby is produced by the fair and complete rules are available on the fair’s website at www.bureaucountyfair.com or by calling Jason Floyd at 815-590-8873.

First place is guaranteed unless stated. All prize

money is guaranteed and goes up with more paid entrants.

Payouts are: Fair Class (80 or newer), $2,000 to win; Compacts, $750 to win; Wire Class with passenger, $2,000 to win; Beginner Wire Class with passenger, $800 to win (rules: 16-18 year olds only, must have been 18 in 2014); and Trucks $750 to win (10 trucks or more.) The purse will go up with more entries.

Download the complete rules at the fair website.

A new feature this year is the power wheel demo for kids ages 3-9 which starts at 2:30 right before the main derby.

Great seats for the derby are on sale now at the fair office. Pit passes are $25 day of show, reserved grandstand seats are $15, general admission $12 and kids 7-12 are $6. Kids 6 and under are free. For ticket information, call 815-8752905. Visa, Mastercard and Discover cards are accepted. All advance purchased tickets include the fair’s gate admission charge, which could save as much as $5 per ticket.

For complete ticket information for this year’s fair, see the fair’s website at www.bureaucountyfair.com.

The 159th Bureau County Fair runs through Aug. 24 in Princeton.
