What about those pneumonia shots?

Ask about the pneumonia shot while at the doctor

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — While many are out getting vaccinated for the upcoming flu season, another preventive to look into while at the doctor’s office is the pneumococcal vaccine, otherwise known as the “pneumonia shot.”

Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs which is caused by viruses, bacteria and fungi. The infection can cause mild to severe illness in people of all ages.

According to Diana Rawlings, director of the Bureau/Putnam County Health Department, common signs of pneumonia include cough, fever and trouble breathing.

“Each year, about 1 million people in the

United States are hospitalized with pneumonia and about 50,000 people die from the disease,” she explained. “In the United States, most hospitalizations and deaths from pneumonia are adults.”

The common causes of viral pneumonia are influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), and the common cause of bacterial pneumonia is Streptococcus Pneumonia.

Who is most at risk of catching pneumonia?

Adults 65 years of age or older; children younger than 5 years of age; people who have underlying medical conditions like asthma, diabetes or heart disease; and people who smoke cigarettes, Rawlings said.

Globally, pneumonia

Ways to help prevent catching pneumonia • Follow the three Cs: 1. Cover your cough by coughing or sneezing into a tissue or your elbow or sleeve.

2. Clean your hands regularly and frequently touched surfaces.

3. Contain the illness by avoiding close contact with sick people and staying home when you are ill.

• You can also reduce your risk of catching pneumonia by limiting exposure to cigarette smoke and treating and preventing conditions like diabetes.

A change for the Red Cross Nationwide reorganization won’t affect local chapter

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The American Red Cross is undertaking a nationwide reorganization effort, with the Bureau County Red Cross branch to now become part of the

Northwest Illinois Chapter.

Bureau County Red Cross Director Lori Compton said the Bureau County office, located in the Prouty Community Building in Princeton, has been a part of the Quad Cities Red Cross Chapter since 2008. The Quad Cit-

ies chapter was part of the Midwest Region which covered counties in both Illinois and Iowa. With the new reorganization effort, Illinois will now be divided into two regions, a Northern Illinois Region and a Southern Illinois Region. The regional division is based on population, with Interstate 80 being a general dividing point, she said.

The important thing to

know is the Red Cross services will not be diminished at all, Compton said. In fact, becoming a part of the Quad Cities chapter several years ago provided a greater increase in resources to the Bureau County office and now, as part of the Northwest Illinois chapter and the Northern Illinois Region, there will be

Cornpickers Reunion coming Oct. 17-18 Walnut farmer preserves 20th-century ag machines

By Dave Fox

Special to Shaw Media

WALNUT — Farming, both big and small, is something Kevin Larkey knows a lot about.

The rural Walnut man has lived in the agriculture suburbia of Walnut all his life, and has been farming in one form or another just about as long.

After working at Atherton Grain in Normandy for 11 years, he branched out and farmed “almost 3,400 acres at one time,” he said.

“I went through some serious health issues a few years back,” he said, and spoke briefly of the heart problems and cancer he’d dealt with. He had to cut back on his work and farms “only” about 1,400 acres now.

In spite of the health history, Larkey, 54, kept busy with other things ag-related.

About nine years ago, he stumbled across a corn picker’s blog on the Internet. It caught his interest, and he became actively involved.

That interest led him to research two-row corn pickers, and the more he researched, the stronger his interest became.

Recalling his grandfather and father picking corn with the tractor-mounted machines, he began looking for the two-row models that might be available for purchase.

Since 1996, he’s “ended up with an Oliver No. 4, an Oliver No. 83 pull-type, and 10 others,” including a red and white Cockshutt that he claims as his favorite.

“I’ve bought and sold and scrapped several others,” Larkey said, “and what I’ve got is the best of the best.”

The Cockshutt – made

by Oliver – was originally green, he said, but he had to replace a lot of the tin on the picker and then repainted it red and white.

Two-row corn pickers are a thing of the past, he said,

but he is doing his part to make sure they don’t just disappear.

“Things have just changed (a lot through the years),” he said.

“We’ve got 12- to 16-row pickers on average now,” he said. “Everybody’s farming bigger, and the yields have about doubled. We’re so much more efficient now, not dollar-wise but labor-wise.

“Now,” he said, “when you buy a $400,000 or $500,000 tractor or combine, there’s a mortgage that comes with it.

“People don’t want to struggle like they used to,” Larkey said.

“Farming used to be a way of life,” he said. “You’d plant, and the harvest was your reward. There were some good years and some not so good, but that was the way of life when farmers were in it to provide for their families.

“It’s all gotten so much bigger now.”

The hugeness of farming these days is probably because of a lot of things, he said.

“There’s definitely a combination of factors involved in the changes,” he said. “People don’t want to have to work as hard as they used to, and technology has changed, and then corporate greed plays into it, too.”

A hard-working agriculturist who earns his living from the land, Larkey still has a love of the smaller, simpler ways of yesteryear.

That’s largely what has driven him to organize his sixth Cornpickers Reunion, scheduled for Oct. 17 and 18 at his farm.

The number of tworow pickers at the reunion increases each year, he said.

“Last time,” he said, “we had 49 of them on site.

Some were just static displays for people to see, but we try to get as many of them as we can out in the field to actually work.”

Larkey expects 60 to 65 corn pickers to be on hand

Special to Shaw Media photos/Dave Fox

Kevin Larkey (bottom, right) of Walnut has accumulated quite a few two-row corn pickers, but these three (above), all made by Oliver, are his favorites. A view of Kevin Larkey’s Cockshutt corn picker (bottom, left) shows the auger (center, rear) that conveys the picked corn to a trailing wagon.

this year.

“Two years ago, we had a fellow from Hutchison, Kansas, who brought his,” Larkey said. “This year, he called and said he and a neighbor of his will both be here with their pickers.”

For this year’s reunion, he said, there is an 80-acre field of non-GMO corn from Prairie Hybrids where the work will take place.

“We’ll have antique pick-

ers of all makes and models,” he said, “and the picking and shelling will all take place over a 2-day period.

“People can come and help with the picking,” he said. “And we’ll have displays for everyone to see as well. A big feature this year will be the Peterson Farm Brothers providing entertainment.

“They’re three young college boys who work on

a family farm,” Larkey said.

“They do YouTube videos and music to show people what happens on a farm on a daily basis.”

Larkey has also been in touch with various FFA chapters in the northern region to invite them to the reunion to do presentations and discussions.

Food will be available on the grounds, “so once you get here, you won’t have to

leave.”

A sense of community is only part of what makes this reunion worth it to attend.

“The camaraderie this has created for me and the others who are here really makes it all worthwhile,” he said. “The history, the fun, just the common interest in something like this, it all just creates really tremendous friendships.”

Department, explained children should be vaccinated against pneumonia starting at 2 months of age, which is following the American Academy of Pediatrics Guidelines.

Also, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends adults 65 years and older receive two Pneumococcal vaccinations, PCV13 and PPSV23, at different times.

Each of the vaccinations help to give immunity for several strains of Strepto-

coccus Pneumonia, which is a common cause of the bacterial pneumonia. The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department and many medical providers offer these vaccines.

“While they are not 100 percent effective, they are still recommended,” Geuther said. “Your doctor or other public health nurses can help you determine when you should get each vaccination.”

“Both of these races are important ones for the future of Bureau County.

As your hometown newspaper, we hope to give you some insight into each candidate, as they tell you why they want to serve and hold these offices,” Simon said.

PRINCETON — Let’s get ready to roll … pumpkins, that is!

The Optimist Club of Princeton will host the third annual Pumpkin Races at noon Saturday, Oct. 25 in downtown Princeton.

Dick Volker and Gary Moreland, both of the Optimist Club, are the committee chairpersons for this event.

“It’s just for fun — great opportunity for a family project,” he said.

A referee will be on site to make sure each pumpkin entered into the race is playing fair and square.

If a pumpkin doesn’t meet the qualifications for the race, it will be deemed a “cheater pumpkin” and will be smashed by the police officer with his heavy-duty mallet.

Rules include: No motors on pumpkins; real pumpkins only can be entered; wheel axles must go through the pumpkin; and no extra weight can be added to the pumpkin.

Wheels and axles can be purchased at Walmart, Gustafson Ace Hardware, Tractor Supply Co. or by calling 815-303-8396.

If you’re like jazz trombonist and music producer Delfeayo Marsalis, a member of the acclaimed Marsalis family from New Orleans, you appreciate the “old-school” ways of doing things.

For Marsalis, that means doing without automated music created and played at the push of a button, cooking without a microwave and not being too quick to replace a lost cell phone.

“Some people ask, ‘How could you go weeks without replacing your phone?’

But for me, I look at it as a much needed vacation,” he said.

“At the same time, I’m like most other people: When I have a Smart Phone on me, I find myself checking it frequently.”

While Marsalis isn’t anti-technology, he fondly recalls a time when more people interacted with others who are right in front of them, rather than staring at a gadget in their hand – especially when it comes to family. The father of a young teenager, he offers the following tips for improving quality time by doing without the ubiquity of cell phones.

• Consider a “No Cell

Red Cross From Page 1 an even greater availability of resources, she said.

Compton said there has been no indication the Princeton office will be any different for the volunteers, the community or herself.

As a Red Cross employee, Compton took on a regional role a year ago, with her focus on disaster services. She will continue in that role and will also continue to oversee things locally. As an employee,

Phone Day.” In fact, that’s the name of his new children’s book, (www.KidsTownPress.com), about a tech-entrenched father who spends a happy birthday exploring New Orleans with his daughter – without his cell phone. A monthly “no cell phone day” allows you to fully engage with the people around you, whether they’re your kids, your parents, or your friends.

Without the distractions of work and spam email, you’ll can have meaningful conversations and simply spend time laughing with the people you love.

You’ll have those memories to cherish for a long time to come. If you really want to connect with yourself and loved ones, plan on a regular No Cell Phone Day. • Play dates that don’t require cell phones. When Marsalis takes his 13-yearold daughter and her cousins out for a fun day out at the mall, followed by a movie and dinner, he makes a deal with them to leave their phones at home.

“We’re all together on these occasions, so there’s no concern for safety, and it would be sad to go through all the trouble of spending the day together while, half of the time, they’re preoccupied with their phones,” he says. “In addition to the occasional

outing, we set aside time at home when we can’t use cell phones.”

• Make dinner time a cell phone-free zone. While food is especially important to any self-respecting son or daughter of New Orleans, sitting down to eat together is a sacred time for every family.

Children and adults alike face significant stress and pressures every day in the world outside the home.

Closing the doors on that world and coming together for an hour each evening to relax and refresh in the comparative safety of those who most love us is essential to our well-being.

• Play “What Do I Know without My Cell Phone?”

Research suggests cell phones are compromising the short-term memory of children. More and more of us – children and adults alike – rely on our Smart Phones, rather than our memories, to retrieve information. Exercising our brains with trivia, math and other cognitive games can help all of us stay mentally sharp.

• Most importantly – don’t be afraid to be bored! Life doesn’t have to be a sci-fi movie all of the time. Ask your child to reflect on their greatest memories to date; chances are 0 percent that the content of those memories will involve cell phones.

Compton will now report to the Rockford office.

The American Red Cross has always been based on volunteers since its inception, and it will continue to do so, Compton said.

“The Red Cross does not have to be a building. It’s the services, the donors and volunteers,” Compton said. “This (reorganization) is a good step for the Red Cross, and it’s a way to use donor dollars in the best way.”

Established in May 1881

by Clara Barton, the service areas for the American Red Cross include

assisting people affected by disasters, providing support for military personnel and their families, health and safety education/training, and assisting with international relief and development.

As reported earlier this year in the Bureau County Republican, the Bureau County Red Cross averages more than 20 disaster responses in a year. More volunteers are needed to help with the local Red Cross program, Compton said.

Meeting Minutes Ohio Grade School Board OHIO — The Ohio Grade School Board of Education held a budget hearing at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 23. The regular board meeting immediately followed.

During the meeting, the board: • Approved the agenda as presented; the minutes of the Aug. 19 regular meeting and of the special board meeting held on Sept. 16 with a correction; the treasurer’s report and bills and payroll, minus the staff development check to the Regional Office of Education. Superintendent Sharon Sweger and Principal Jason Wilt are in process of writing a grant to cover the charges of this bill.

• Discussed replacing the playground fence. After discussing the pros and cons with the teachers and hearing the positive comment on how nice the playground looks, the board has decided to hold off on the fence at this time.

• Approved the salary percentages of shared faculty and staff as presented.

• Approved the application of recognition of schools.

• Accepted the joint agreement budget for the alternative education program.

• Approved the itemized salary compensation report.

• Approved the renewal certificate of membership to Illinois School District Property/Casualty Insurance.

• Approved the budget for FY 2015.

• Approved the 10-year life safety resurvey that will be done by school architect Dennis Parkins in the summer of 2015.

• Approved the decision that all employment physicals to be paid by the school must be obtained through the district-approved providers.

• Several parents have requested Sweger check with the state on the ruling pertaining to music at the middle school level. The regional superintendent asked the state for an interpretation and Sweger was told the following by the ROE Superintendent of Schools: “All middle school students need to take art and music each year. There is no formal opt out procedure.” The board addressed this last year in a meeting and Sweger is proposing the district cleanup the language. The board approved kindergarten through fifth grade have alternating days of music, sixth graders will have music every day (alternating band and chorus), and all seventh and eighth grade students must either take band or chorus, or both if they choose.

In the superintendent’s report, Sweger

shared: • There are currently 79 students in the grade school.

• In building maintenance, the tucking pointing for the year is complete. Sweger is very pleased with the quality of work.

The sills look great, the supports have been removed and will be scrapped.

The money will be put in the special projects fund.

• The ROE Life Safety Inspection was performed on Sept. 8. This year both districts had clean evaluations.

• By code, Sweger must report all FOIA requests to the board. She received a request for all information concerning the communication of Hudson and Beck Rights to union members.

These are provisions which say they can request a reduction in union dues based on how much is used for lobbying or political reason. This is something that administration does not participate in, the union communicated this information to other members. All information was provided within the required time line.

In the principal’s report, Wilt shared: • The girls’ volleyball season has gone very well. They won the Consolation Trophy at the Paw Paw tournament. The BVEC tournament began Sept. 27 and was hosted by DePue this year.

• Standford/OLSAT testing will only be done by the first and second students this year due to the new PARCCs testing program.

• Furry Friends came to the school for a visit on Friday, Sept. 5 which coincided with the Reading Buddies program.

Wilt also passed around a copy of the Bureau County Republican that had a nice feature on the reading program, which was started by Nancy Schrader three years ago. He wanted to thank her for doing such a nice job with the program. The students really enjoyed it.

The board went into executive session at 7:30 p.m. and came out at 7:38 p.m.

Following the executive session, the board: • Reviewed and released the executive session minutes from the Aug. 19 meeting.

• Accepted with regret the resignation of Brandi Dye as assistant volleyball coach and appointed her as volleyball volunteer until the end of this season.

• Approved Nancy Schrader as head teacher in the absence of both administrators during a school day.

The next regularly scheduled meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Oct. 21 in the school library.

From the editor’s desk

I’m writing this on a rainy Monday afternoon.

My desk is piled high with a mountain of work that needs to be accomplished. I have telephone calls that need to be returned, and more telephone calls I need to make. My calendar (aka my brain) remains closed ... in other words, I’ve haven’t even checked it yet to see what items I wrote down that needed to be finished on Monday. There are three newspapers — the Bureau County Republican, the Putnam County Record and the Illinois Valley Scene — which all need my attention in some way or another. The BCR’s two upcoming events — Women of Distinction Awards luncheon on Thursday and the Candidate Forum on Oct. 21 — are both calling my name.

Terri Simon But all I can think about as I sit in front of this computer is how I’d rather be home on this rainy day, curled up on the couch with a blanket over me and a cup of coffee on the end table, nodding in and out of sleep, as the rain sets the stage for a lazy afternoon. Dream on, Terri.

••• OK, friends, I hope you made your reservation for Thursday’s Illinois Valley Living Women of Distinction Awards luncheon, held from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Deer Park Country Club in Oglesby. It’s going to be such a great time, as we honor this year’s winners — Donna Barker, Michelle Brady, Pam Lange, Mary Lanham, Eleanor Walker and Carole Yandel — along with all women who have made a difference in the lives of others. The event will include a fun chef-inspired luncheon, a goodie bag, door prizes and of course, our keynote speaker, Kathy O’Malley of the well-known WGN Kathy and Judy Show.

There will be laughter, maybe a few tears too ... but I guarantee you’ll leave the event feeling good about life; you’ll feel inspired; you’ll feel happy. What more could you want?

While we officially closed ticket sales on Friday, I’ve always got a few tricks up my sleeve. If you still want to go and forgot to get your ticket, give Christy a call at 815-875-4461, ext. 6320. You won’t be disappointed ... I guarantee it.

••• Mark your calendars now for our upcoming Candidates Forum, set for 7 p.m. Oct. 21 at the Bureau County Metro Center in Princeton. If you are undecided about the candidates for the upcoming Bureau County Sheriff and Bureau County Treasurer races, this will be a great opportunity for you to learn about your candidates. Even if you already know who you are going to vote for, this will still be a chance to confirm your convictions and perhaps learn some things about what your candidates hopes to accomplish.

Both of these races are important ones (all races are important), so I hope to see you there.

••• Have you been able to take a drive around the county and check out the fall landscape? It’s really becoming quite beautiful, as the cooler weather has helped Mother Nature and Jack Frost with their colorful paintbrushes, as they turn our trees vibrant shades. The farmers were out in force this past weekend too ... there’s just something cool about watching our area farmers harvest their fields. Which reminds me ... in your travels, please take your time and watch for slow-moving vehicles on the roadways, as farmers head to the elevators or move from field to field. On the flip side, if you’re a farmer and you’re working long hours to get your crops in, please be safe and remember an exhausted farmer isn’t always a safe farmer. Please take a break when you need one.

••• Thought for the week: “Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don’t quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don’t quit until you reach it. Never quit.” Bear Bryant.

••• Have a great week. Take time for you and those you love. Life is not a dress rehearsal. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

Rauner gives Illinois hope Gov. Pat Quinn has had more than five years to guide Illinois toward a brighter fiscal future.

Instead, his incompetent leadership and regressive policies have driven the state to the brink of financial collapse.

To that point: Illinois is bleeding jobs. State data released last month show there are 102,000 fewer Illinoisans in the workforce now than when Quinn, a Democrat, took office in 2009. That’s good for worst in the country. Illinois also is the only state in the Midwest in which food stamp enrollment has outpaced job creation – and by a 2-to-1 margin – since the Great Recession, again under Quinn’s watch.

Illinois has the worst credit rating of any state in the nation, meaning it pays more in interest when borrowing money. Under Quinn, national ratings agencies have downgraded the state’s credit rating 13 times. The state’s bonds are near “junk” status.

Illinois also has a worst-in-thenation public pension deficit of $100 billion and growing. Almost a quarter of every dollar that state government collects annually from taxpayers goes toward retirement benefits, not services. Quinn stood on the sidelines as lawmakers worked on pension reform last year, offering no solution of his own to the state’s most pressing issue. The solution ultimately arrived at now appears likely to be thrown out in court, putting reform efforts back to square one.

Deadbeat state government

owes social service agencies, school districts and other employers almost $5 billion for work completed months ago.

Illinois’ worker’s compensation costs are fourth worst in the United States, driving businesses and jobs elsewhere.

Quinn and Democratic state lawmakers also foisted a 67 percent income tax increase on wage earners in 2011, costing a household with annual income of $50,000 an additional $1,000 in taxes. Quinn promised it would be temporary, but now wants to make it permanent. He also wants to introduce a graduated income tax, another jobs killer.

Simply put, Quinn’s tenure as governor has been a complete failure.

By contrast, Republican nominee for governor Bruce Rauner is a success story. A self-made millionaire, he helped build a startup investment firm into one of the most successful businesses in the state.

Rauner’s wealth was not given to him. He earned it. Yet Quinn, a lifelong politician, holds that against him. Success should be lauded, not vilified.

Because he is independently wealthy, Rauner will not be beholden to the special interests that have helped corrupt Springfield. He says he will stand up to public employee union leaders who have fought tooth-and-nail against reform. He says he also will fight corruption and cronyism, which have thrived under Quinn in

Letters policy Letters to the Editor should not be more than 500 words in length. Only one person can sign a Letter to the Editor.

state government agencies such as the Department of Transportation and the Department of Agriculture.

Rauner understands the state’s taxpayers are overburdened. He wants to phase out the Quinn income tax hike over four years, freeze property taxes, and shrink state government. He also wants to reduce the overall number of governmental bodies in Illinois.

Rauner pledges to be an active governor and live in Springfield.

Unlike Quinn, Rauner says he will be on the floor working legislation every day the General Assembly is in session.

Rauner also is not a career politician; this is his first run for office.

He supports term limits and, if elected, says he would serve at most two terms.

Rauner admits he does not have all the answers. He understands Illinois’ financial situation is so dire, he will need help. He vows to surround himself with talented people whose focus will be righting the state’s fiscal ship, not political cronies looking for more taxpayer-funded handouts.

Rauner doesn’t need this job.

He says he’s running because he believes in Illinois and wants to make it a better place to live.

Bruce Rauner gives Illinois hope.

Gov. Pat Quinn offers more of the same failures.

Illinois can’t afford more of the same. That’s why we endorse Rauner, the Republican nominee for governor.

Bureau County Republican • bcrnews.com To the Electors of the State of Illinois:

The purpose of a state constitution is to establish a structure for government and laws. There are three ways to initiate change to the Illinois Constitution: (1) a constitutional convention may propose changes to any part; (2) the General Assembly may propose changes to any part; or (3) a petition initiative may propose amendments limited to structural and procedural subjects contained in the Legislative Article. The people of Illinois must approve any changes to the Constitution before they become effective.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO SECTION 8.1 OF ARTICLE I OF THE ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION ARTICLE I – BILL OF RIGHTS SECTION 8.1. CRIME VICTIMS’ VICTIM’S RIGHTS. (a) Crime victims, as defined by law, shall have the following rights as provided by law: (1) The right to be treated with fairness and respect for their dignity and privacy and to be free from harassment, intimidation, and abuse throughout the criminal justice process.

(2) The right to notice and to a hearing before a court ruling on a request for access to any of the victim’s records, information, or communications which are privileged or confidential by law.

(3) (2) The right to timely notification of all court proceedings.

(4) (3) The right to communicate with the prosecution.

(5) (4) The right to be heard at any post-arraignment court proceeding in which a right of the victim is at issue and any court proceeding involving a post-arraignment release decision, plea, or sentencing. make a statement to the court at sentencing.

(6) (5) The right to be notified of information about the conviction, the sentence, the imprisonment, and the release of the accused.

(7) (6) The right to timely disposition of the case following the arrest of the accused.

(8) (7) The right to be reasonably protected from the accused throughout the criminal justice process.

(9) The right to have the safety of the victim and the victim’s family considered in denying or fixing the amount of bail, determining whether to release the defendant, and setting conditions of release after arrest and conviction.

(10) (8) The right to be present at the trial and all other court proceedings on the same basis as the accused, unless the victim is to testify and the court determines that the victim’s testimony would be materially affected if the victim hears other testimony at the trial.

(11) (9) The right to have present at all court proceedings, subject to the rules of evidence, an advocate and or other support person of the victim’s choice.

(12) (10) The right to restitution. (b) The victim has standing to assert the rights enumerated in subsection (a) in any court exercising jurisdiction over the case. The court shall promptly rule on a victim’s request. The victim does not have party status. The accused does not have standing to assert the rights of a victim. The court shall not appoint an attorney for the victim under this Section. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to alter the powers, duties, and responsibilities of the prosecuting attorney The General Assembly may provide by law for the enforcement of this Section. (c) The General Assembly may provide for an assessment against convicted defendants to pay for crime victims’ rights. (d) Nothing in this Section or any law enacted under this Section creates a cause of action in equity or at law for compensation, attorney’s fees, or damages against the State, a political subdivision of the State, an officer, employee, or agent of the State or of any political subdivision of the State, or an officer or employee of the court. or in any law enacted under (e) Nothing in this Section or any law enacted under this Section shall be construed as creating (1) a basis for vacating a conviction or (2) a ground for any relief requested by the defendant appellate relief in any criminal case.

EXPLANATION The Constitution sets forth substantial rights for crime victims. The proposed amendment expands certain current rights: 1) Victims are currently entitled to fairness and respect throughout the criminal justice process. The amendment would also provide that they shall be protected from harassment, intimidation and abuse.

2) Victims currently can make a statement to the court when a criminal defendant is sentenced to punishment. The amendment would allow a victim to be heard at any proceeding that involves the victim’s rights, and any proceeding involving a plea agreement, release of the defendant or convicted individual, or sentencing.

3) Victims may obtain information about conviction, sentencing, imprisonment or release. The amendment would require prosecutors and the court to notify victims of those events before they happen.

The amendment would also grant additional rights to crime victims: 1) A victim would have a right to formal notice and a hearing before the court rules on any request for access to the victim’s information which is privileged or confidential information.

2) A victim would have the right to have the judge consider the victim’s safety and the safety of his or her family before deciding whether to release a criminal defendant, setting the amount of bail to be paid before release, or setting conditions of release after arrest or conviction.

3) The victim would have the right to assert his or her rights in any court with jurisdiction over the criminal case, but would not have the same rights as the prosecutor or the criminal defendant and the court could not appoint an attorney for the victim at taxpayer expense.

The proposed amendment would not alter the powers, duties or responsibilities of the prosecutor. Further, a criminal defendant would not be able to challenge his or her conviction on the basis of a failure to follow these provisions.

Rock Falls suspends head football coach

By Shaw Media Service sports@bcrnews.com

ROCK FALLS — Rock Falls football coach Scott Berge has been suspended for the remainder of the 2014 season, according to a press release Rock Falls athletic director Rich Montgomery sent to Sauk Valley Media last week.

According to the release, the suspension is a result of inappropriate sideline behavior and a violation of the code of conduct and coaching policies in the RFHS Coaches Handbook.

When reached by telephone on Monday night, Berge would not speak about the suspension, but did

indicate he is seeking legal advice.

Montgomery also declined comment.

Jay Mammosser, who coached the team from 2003-2011, will be acting head coach for the remainder of the season. Mammosser had been the team’s defensive coordinator this season.

“I don’t think anything changes,” Mammosser said. “Scott was under me when I was the head coach, and I’ve been under Scott since he was head coach. You won’t see a whole lot of changes. It’s Week 7, so it’s not like we’re going to try and reinvent the wheel.”

Berge, who is in his second season as head coach, announced on

WSDR-AM 1240 on Sept. 17 that he would resign at the end of the season.

Berge cited family concerns and the negativity surrounding the program as his reasons for leaving the program.

“There is a lot of negativity surrounding this program, and it’s unfortunate that the kids have to live with it every day,” Berge told SVM’s Patrick Mason on Sept. 17. “I don’t want that negativity to carry over and enter my household.”

The Rockets are 1-14 with Berge as head coach. Berge was an assistant under Mammosser before

By seed, Mendota is the favorite to win their own soccer regional. On paper, it may be anybody’s game.

The Trojans will square off against Earlville/ Leland, a 2-0 winner over Paw Paw in Friday’s playin contest, in Wednesday’s semifinals at 4:30 p.m. The Trojans bring in a 13-6-2 record and are Big Northern Illinois Conference champions.

The second semifinal of the night matches No. 2 Princeton (10-12-1) vs. No. 3 DePue (9-5-3). Princeton is the defending regional champion.

“I believe the regional is pretty evenly matched.

Mendota is a deserving No. 1 seed, but I believe anyone can beat anyone else,” said first-year Princeton head coach Dave Gray. “DePue will be a strong test, and the way both teams have been playing lately, DePue may be the favorite for that match. The good thing for us is that when regionals begin, records do not matter. We are all 0-0 and have a good chance to be regional champions.”

Princeton beat Mendota 2-0 on the Trojans’ turf in the sectional semifinals.

DePue has a postseason history with Princeton.

Two years ago, Princeton edged their neighbor 3-2 in the regional semifinals.

In 2008, Princeton beat the Little Giants 3-2 for the championship on Justin Jenkins goal in overtime.

Gray was the coach for

Mendota 1A Boys Soccer Regional Pairings: Friday — 4) Earlville/Leland 2, (5) Paw Paw 0 Wednesday: Match 2 (1) Mendota (13-6-2) vs.

4) Earlville/Leland, 4:30 p.m.

Match 3 — (2) Princeton (10-12-1) vs. (3) DePue (9-5-2), 6 p.m.

At a glance: Mendota, the Big Northern Conference champion, may be tough to beat on their home field. Princeton played for the sectional championship last year on the synthetic turf at Mendota, falling to Somonauk 2-0. Princeton has beat DePue twice in the past six years in regional playing, including the regional finals in overtime in 2008.

First-year PHS head coach David Gray was the DePue coach then.

Last year’s regional finals: Mendota 2, Earlville-Leland 0; Princeton 5, Wilmington 0.

BCR pick: Mendota over Princeton.

Advancement: Winner goes to the Peoria Christian Sectional on Oct. 21 to face the Rock island Alleman Regional winner.

DePue then.

“Honestly, I am trying not to get our team caught up in the fact that we are playing Princeton or what seed we are,” DePue coach Tim Stevens said. “It is clear that the group we had

Soccer From Page 11 last year underperformed and may have lost sight of what is truly important. We have a lot of players that were on that team and we are trying to focus more on coming together as a team.

“If we take things one game at a time and rally around each other to play two good halves of soccer in which we support one another anything is possible. When everything is said and done, we want to leave the field feeling like we played well and accomplished something.”

While Princeton went on to reach the sectional finals last year, defeating Wilmington 5-0 for the regional championship, DePue lost to Wilmington 3-2 in the semifinals.
