Payment delayed Princeton decides to hold payment on flood damage

By Zita Henneberry zhenneberry@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton City Council has agreed to postpone payment to residents Dan Shaw and Irene Milligan for flood damages until further negotiations with the insurance company have been made.

These two Princeton residents appeared before the city council in September to request payment for the damages that occurred in June from heavy rains and flooded basements. The claims were submitted to the city’s insurance company but were denied. The payment of these claims were included in the city bills at Monday night’s council meeting.

Princeton City Commissioner Joel Quiram proposed payment of the residents’ claims be postponed until after the council’s meeting with representatives from the insurance company that is set for Thursday.

City attorney John Isaacson agreed this plan was a good idea.

In explanation of his proposal, Quiram expressed concern the insurance company is not going to reimburse the city of Princeton, having already denied the claims.

“The only way that the insurance company would allow us to go ahead and

pay these claims and get any type of reimbursement is with their agreement beforehand,” said Quiram.

Quiram also said the basis for the insurance company’s denial was the city of Princeton was not negligent. However, Quiram expressed further concerns this may not be true.

“I’ve heard various versions about what happened that caused the backup, and one of the prevailing problems I’ve heard sure sounds like negligence to me,” said Quiram.

Quiram continued by questioning how thorough the insurance company’s investigation was and if they had all the resources and information needed to make the decision to deny the city’s claim.

“I fear that if we pay these bills we will be opening a door we will never get shut,” Quiram said. “I just want to exhaust all other avenues before we have taxpayers pay these two bills.”

After further discussion, Quiram also expressed his concern the city’s insurance agent Jud Scott, is not a part of the decision-making.

Mayor Keith Cain agreed that while he thought the agency could have done more, he did not hold Scott accountable.

Princeton awards million dollar contract for sewer program PRINCETON — During Monday’s Princeton City Council meeting, the council reviewed the bid results for the sanitary sewer program.

This program will make significant improvements to the sewer systems in the Bailey Subdivision, Euclid Avenue and South Church Street areas. The contract was awarded to the lowest bidder — Gensini Excavating of Hennepin for $1,080,342.

In order to supply the money needed to make these improvements, the city will borrow approximately $500,000 from its electric department.

The sewer fund will pay back this loan with interest.

In his comments to the council, Princeton City Manager Jeff Clawson said, “Since this program was bid-based on quantities and a line item schedule, we feel we will be able to reduce the overall contract by up to $100,000 and accomplish the goal for all three projects.”

PRINCETON — The two candidates running for the office of Bureau County Sheriff faced off at Tuesday’s Candidates’ Forum, hosted by the Bureau County Republican, and held at the Bureau County Metro Center.

Democrat Jim Reed and Republican Allan Beaber were presented with various questions that promoted discussion on their views and opinions for various topics concerning the sheriff’s seat.

Following their opening statements, the first question presented to the candidates was what motivated them to run for office.

While both candidates explained they had been asked by various residents throughout the county to run for office, each had additional reasons that further backed up their answers.

PRINCETON — Bureau County residents gathered Tuesday evening to see and hear from the two candidates running for Bureau County Treasurer at a Candidates’ Forum, hosted by the Bureau County Republican.

Democratic candidate Rick Wilkin and Republican candidate Courtney Yates-Mabry shook hands before taking their seats in front of about 200 Bureau County residents.

In their opening remarks, they talked about reasons behind their motivation to run for office and plans on what they hope to accomplish, if elected.

The first question asked to the candidates was whether or not they believed the treasurer’s office was adequately staffed.

Wilkin was first to speak and explained how he didn’t see the need to increase staff, however

has always loved the idea of being a police officer and has been in his law enforcement career for 40 years, which has allowed him to handle all sorts of crime — from theft to two homicides.

“I know the job. I was born and raised here in Bureau County, so I know the county,” he said.

Reed explained he didn’t begin to seriously consider the roll of sheriff until he started questioning direction given at the office.

“I’ve worked under several sheriffs, and I’ve seen where they’ve excelled, but also their shortcomings. This has allowed me to form an opinion on some of the things that

through available technology, would like to see whether or not three full-time employees were needed in the office.

Mabry, who works under current Bureau County Treasurer Nina Urbanowski, said the office doesn’t need to limit staff as current employees have plenty to do with daily tasks throughout the year.

When asked to describe their leadership style, Wilkin said he likes to lead in a democratic way and reach consensus.

“I understood early on as a teacher and working with people that I can’t control them. What I do control is the consequences for their actions,”

Health department offers flu clinic on Wednesday PRINCETON — The Bureau County Health Department will offer a flu clinic from 3 to 6 p.m.

Wednesday at the Health Department.

They will be accepting private insurance for adults and children.

Medicare Part B will be accepted as well. Medicaid is only accepted for children 18 years old and under. Bring the appropriate insurance card to the clinic of choice.

Flu shots will be $30 except for children 6

months to 18 years old who qualify for VFC vaccine but do not have a Medicaid card. The fee for those children is $12.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) everyone older than 6 months old should get a flu shot. Following the “three C’s” — cover your cough, contain the spread of disease by staying home if you are sick and control the disease by washing your hands — will also help keep others healthy during flu season.

On average 5 to 20 percent of Americans catch the flu every year, with more than 200,000 being hospitalized, including 20,000 children, and 36,000 dying from flu complications. The best way to prevent the flu is getting a flu shot every year For more information and updates on flu shot clinics in Bureau and Putnam County go to the health department website at www.bpchd.org.

No appointments are necessary.

Meeting minutes Princeton City Council PRINCETON — The Princeton City Council conducted the following business at its Oct. 20 meeting; • Princeton City Manager Jeff Clawson gave the public a list of items not accepted by the city recycling center including Styrofoam, plastic bags and pizza boxes, which aren’t accepted

because of the grease.

• Passed an ordinance to increase the number of alcoholic liquor licenses in the city limits from 20 to 25.

• Bid results for the farm lease at the Princeton Logistics Park were listed and rejected; new bids will be taken and announced at a later date.

• Had a first reading of a proposed ordinance to amend the city code for parking trailers.

• Listed the bid results for the well abandonment on Main Street, at the former water treatment plant, and accepted the low bid of $33,490.

• Deb Madsen was appointed to the Perry Memorial Hospital Board of Directors.

•Princeton City Manager Jeff Clawson introduced a sump pump inspection program that will move on to the next step of its implementation.

PRINCETON — The Princeton Park District will join other taxing bodies at a special discussion session to look at issues and interests concerning those groups.

At this week’s meeting, the Princeton Park Board talked about ideas which the board and staff could present when they attend the Nov. 6 “All Taxing Body” meeting organized

by Princeton City Manager Jeff Clawson. Representing the park district, Elaine Russell, executive director, will give a brief overview of the park district’s current activities and then present the park district’s views on key community connection needs and wants with the other taxing bodies present.

The goal of the Nov. 6 session is to see how the

various taxing bodies can work together to better benefit themselves, each other and the community, Russell said.

In discussing those communication needs and wants for the park district at Monday’s meeting, Superintendent of Parks Keith Scherer said one idea would be to discuss what types of capital projects could be done together, such as using the same engineering firm or contractor for various improvement projects such as lighting upgrades or blacktopping work.

Another idea is to talk about utilities, the cost of utilities, and what can be done to reduce those costs, Russell said.

The agencies could also discuss what services are offered through which agencies and how duplication of services could be decreased, board member Dennis Nink said.

Another value of the meeting is to see what the other taxing bodies are doing in their activities and in their tax levies, park district attorney Bob Russell said. The overall purpose of the meeting appears to be to look for common goals, rather than individual goals for a specific entity, he said.

Improving communication between the entities is important, board President Gene Englehart said.

In other business at Monday’s meeting, the board set a public hearing for 4:20 p.m. Nov. 3, prior to the regular 4:30 p.m. board meeting, to discuss possible general obligation bonds of $770,000. There is new legislation which may make it possible for a park district or governments to borrow the money, rather than to issue bonds, Russell said.

The board also noted that 12 memorial benches have been placed along the walking path at Zearing Park, with another bench yet to be installed.

New website great for visitors, locals Hunt: ‘We might try a little new adventure’

By Zita Henneberry zhenneberry@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — In July of this year Princeton’s Tourism and Marketing Director Joni Hunt collaborated with 815 Media to create and launch the city of Princeton’s new tourism website.

“It is important that we try to represent Princeton to the best of our ability and to make sure that we are continuing to attract and build on Princeton tourism,” Hunt said.

Hunt acknowledged and appreciates the support given to the project

by Princeton Mayor Keith Cain and the city council.

She also believes the new website provides consum-

ers with the resources and tools that will enhance their day and will help them to plan their trip to the Princeton area. The site contains lists of local businesses, local activities, restaurant venues, maps of the area and places to stay, which can help guide consumers toward their individual interests within the Princeton community. Hunt said the website provides people with an electronic option where information is readily available on smart phones or through other modern means. She also finds this to allows for a more environmentally-conscious approach to information availability for consumers.

“We are very mobile consumers,” Hunt said.

Hunt believes the new Internet brochure and other accessible tools on the website will provide people in the area with a great new means of local knowledge and activity availability. It is important for local businesses to have support from both visitors and local consumers in order to be successful, continued Hunt. Visitors are sure to find all the website resources useful, especially maps of the area, and locals may find the list of things to do, such as festivals, local shopping or places to eat especially beneficial.

“If we actually take a look at everything that is available to us, we might try a little new adventure,” said Hunt.

Those interested can check out Princeton’s new tourism website at www. visitprinceton-il.com.

BCUW honors bank representatives

Treasurer From Page 1

Area bank representatives recently met Bureau County United Way (BCUW) Executive Director Andrea Anderson at the campaign thermometer as she raised the meter just above 10 percent of the $120,000 goal. Anderson explained the area banks have showed great support of the BCUW throughout the years in a variety of ways — whether it was attending fundraiser events, spreading the word about BCUW or through their own annual in-house campaigns for BCUW. Pictured are (left to right) Carolyn Taylor of Heartland Bank and Trust, Rick Clary of Central Bank, Anderson, Sue Spratt of Midland States Bank and president of the BCUW Board and Sara Hudson of Heartland Bank and Trust.

Sheriff From Page 1 will provide a better office for this community,” he said.

The candidates tackled questions concerning the adequacy of the Bureau County Jail and the issues they see surrounding the facility.

Beaber was quick to say he believes the jail is adequate, as it has passed inspections throughout the years. He did mention he didn’t want to pay higher taxes like fellow residents who voted against raising the taxes to support a new jail facility.

Beaber did talk about an idea he has that could solve problems with crowding within the jail.

He explained the concept of “pods,” which could easily be hooked up to the current facility and would provide additional space for prisoners.

Reed disagreed with Beaber’s idea.

“I’ve been in there for

the last 24 years. It’s not fine. We do need a new jail,” he said, though he added he would support the county board and the voters’ decisions regarding a new facility.

Looking at Beaber’s idea for “pods,” Reed said residents need to see it as facelifts to an old building and questioned how many facelifts before it begins costing taxpayers more than building a new facility.

The candidates were asked whether or not they felt the sheriff’s office was sufficiently paid and adequately staffed.

Beaber mentioned there can never be enough manpower for a police department, but when a budget is set in place; one can only make so much.

“We’re only going to get what the county board can afford,” he said. “They are the ones that have control of the purse strings.”

Reed took a different approach as he pointed out how Spring Valley

and Princeton police officers are currently getting paid a higher rate of pay than deputies at the sheriff’s office.

“There’s no reason our deputies, the guys who work our roads, shouldn’t be making the salaries that Princeton or Spring Valley PD make,” he said.

“This is a change that’s not going to happen overnight, but there’s no reason deputies should get paid less.”

Another issue candidates talked about was how they plan to make sure smaller Bureau County communities feel safe.

Beaber pointed out the larger towns in Bureau County have their own full-time officers, therefore the sheriff’s office doesn’t have to worry about patrolling their areas as much.

“We have to go to those small towns that have no police departments or only part-time officers.

We’ve got to be out on county roads and getting out of squad cars to meet people. People have to

realize we can still give them the protection that’s needed,” he said.

Beaber also thought out the idea of setting up a neighborhood watch program within the smaller communities.

Reed disagreed with Beaber and said the towns that do have full-time officers are not staffed 24 hours, and the sheriff’s office does answer their calls when they are not on duty.

“We have to find a way to put more deputies on the road. If there is no budget for that, then we have to make do with scheduling … We have to be pro-active and provide the law enforcement that’s needed.”

In the closing remarks, Reed made a comment regarding Beaber that resulted in booing and cheering among the crowd. Beaber made no response toward the comment during his time to talk.

BCR Editor Terri Simon moderated the event.

he said. “Ultimately as a treasurer, I would be the one who had the responsibility, and there may be times as a leader where we will have to say, ‘No, you’re going to do it this way …”

Mabry described her leadership skills as “very hands on, very dedicated and will work right along with other employees.”

“I’m willing to do anything they have to do and be with the county board members as they are needed and wanted,” she said.

Rumors were cleared up when candidates were asked if they saw the role as treasurer being a longterm career or a stepping stone to other opportunities.

Wilkin called out the rumors about him wanting to use the office as a stepping stone.

“That is not the case. I was on the county board.

I ran for the county board, again. I am a Bureau County resident. I got into this to help out the working people of Bureau County,” he said.

Mabry also confirmed this would not be a stepping stone for her.

“This is my long-term goal to be the country treasurer. I plan to raise my family here in Bureau County, in Princeton,” she said.

The candidates both talked about plans to utilize technology in the office.

While Wilkin is aware of the current hand scanner used in the office to help record tax bills, he would like to look into the cost for an automatic scanner, which he explained is similar to one seen in a store check-out. He said the scanner would be able to scan payments and bills statements at the same time and process them into a database.

Both candidates also talked about new plans concerning an office website. Wilkin’s idea of a website would include public documents, such as the county budget and audit.

Mabry’s website idea would include information that would help cut down the amount of callers the office receives, which she explained takes employees away from their daily tasks and giving assistance to those at the counter.

Eric Porter TISKILWA — Eric L. Porter, 61, of Tiskilwa passed away Thursday, Oct. 16, 2014, at his home surrounded by his family.

Porter, 32, of Charleston, S.C., and Samuel E. Porter, 22, of Tiskilwa. He enjoyed taking his children and many of his foster children fishing, camping and almost anything involving the outdoors. He and his wife enjoyed devoting hours of their days to their landscaping and the renovation of their historic Victorian home. He had a lifelong affair with ice cream and he took his fashion cues from no one. His signature “everyday” look was his T-shirt collection designed by the fashion house Fruit of the Loom.

He is survived by his daughter, Amber M. Porter of Charleston, S.C.; his son, Samuel E. Porter of Tiskilwa; a grandchild, Anya E. Porter of Dunlap; a brother, Leif (Dawn) Porter of Sheffield; a sister, Krista Porter (Mary Ramos) of Springfield, Mo.; and his many nieces and nephews, and great-nieces and great-nephews.

Where does the time go?

So I have a question. Is it just me or does anyone else feel like there is never enough time in the day to get even a few things scratched off your to-do list? I’m not going to lie — because why would I — I feel like I barely accomplish a few tasks in a week. Often times I feel a little discouraged by the things I can’t get done instead of focusing on the things I did.

Growing up, I thought by the time I got to be an adult I’d have all the time in the world to explore new destinations, learn new things and run a smooth and efficient household.

As a kid, I thought adults had all the COMMENTARY time in the world.

Turns out while I was wishing I could be an adult instead of a kid who had to go to school and do homework, I should have just been enjoying the free time I had then. Because I think even with my extra activities and homework, I had more time off as a student than I do now. What a reality check it has been since I graduated from college almost three years ago this December.

As a child, I saw my parents conquering everything they attempted. My mom got her MBA from St. Ambrose University. It took her a few years because she was working full time and only taking night or weekend courses. But still, here was a woman who worked full time and was able to accomplish something so tremendous and still make time for my dad, my brother and myself.

My dad stayed home and raised us and took care of the house and yard. But while he was doing all that he was running a successful carpentry business out of the house. Sometimes, when we were really young and not yet in school, my brother and I would have to go with him to the job site. My parents were able to balance it all, or at least it seemed that way to my younger eyes.

They did this all while still taking care of my brother and me. I have no idea how they found the time for anything else, but they seemed to have a little extra time during the week for other things. Who knows, maybe they felt just as hard pressed for time as I currently do.

Maybe I just haven’t found my balance yet. Does it take this long to find it? Maybe I’m still trying to find the right combination of expectations versus truth and fact. I honestly couldn’t tell you if I’ll ever find that balance, but I hope to. Someday, if I’m lucky.

I just feel like the white rabbit from “Alice in Wonderland,” not necessarily the “I’m late! I’m late for a very important date!” — instead of an important date, I’m just out of time.

So here I am, up late finishing this column because once again, I’ve run out of time. After the dishes were done, the laundry folded and put away and I showered, I’m finally able to get this accomplished.

Sleep will come eventually, even if I did want to go to bed early. Maybe I’ll be able to crawl into bed early tonight. Here’s hoping.

It’s OK, I think. Because while I’m still young-ish, I have the time to learn how to get this whole adulthood thing figured out. Learn how to balance everything in life. Honestly, you know what, if I never do that’s all right too because then that means I can still be a kid.

Constitution of the United States, 1789

Walking the road not chosen Editor’s note: After failing a mammogram test earlier this spring, Barb Kromphardt entered the world of breast cancer treatment. Following a surgical biopsy, she was diagnosed with DCIS, an early-stage cancer, in her right breast. She is sharing her story with our readers. This is the final segment in her ongoing story.

The days of radiation were long and strange.

I thought I would be so happy.

My cancer was gone, and the treatments were pretty brief and relatively painless.

But I found my attitude was much better when I was actively fighting the cancer cells. Most of the time my mood was upbeat, and I felt like I was living on the edge.

But during radiation, the reality of living with this began to sink in.

The first week or so of treatment, I was not myself. No smiles, no small talk with the radiation technicians. I even wore my glasses instead of my contacts to give me something to hide behind.

But gradually I began to change.

Although I didn’t FEEL more cheerful, I ACTED more cheerful.

You know, fake it until you make it?

And it helped. I got a new radiation technician who was a saint.

She was a cheerful, no-nonsense woman who was happy to lend an arm to help me up off the radiation table.

As the end of the treatment approached, I became very excited. At first I counted how many treatments I had undergone, but now I began counting how many I had left.

I met someone in the waiting room who was a few days ahead of me with her treatment. One day she wasn’t there, and I rejoiced

Barb Kromphardt COMMENTARY

that she was done.

But there was a dose of reality when I saw a new patient brought in for the first time.

Cancer had struck again.

It’s been almost three months since I, too, completed my treatment. I’ve had a follow-up visit with my radiation doctor, who said the skin of my breast is healing right on schedule. No hair on my head was harmed, although it will be a while before I have to shave my right armpit.

I’ve had a follow-up visit with my surgeon, who also said all is looking good.

I have a follow-up mammogram scheduled for the end of this month. This time I won’t have to wait for any results because they read the scans of repeat customers like me right away. I’m mostly optimistic about the results.

I’ve gone back and forth on my future many times. At first I thought the doctors would cure me this time, but that sooner or later, breast cancer would get me.

But after reading and talking with my doctors, I know my odds of not getting breast cancer again are pretty good.

But I still think of my mother, who died after several bouts with the disease.

October is Breast Cancer Month, and it’s been a bit of a challenge. I find I don’t like thinking of myself as a breast cancer survivor. My cancer was Stage 0, and I didn’t have invasive breast cancer, so part of me doesn’t feel like I

deserve the designation.

And another part of me wants to forget these last six months have ever happened.

But they did happen. I went to a new dentist the other day and had to fill out some routine forms.

I was scribbling away until I came to the section regarding personal history. No, I have no history of anemia or bleeding. But then I came to the cancer box.

Tears came to my eyes as I explained what had happened to me to the receptionist.

“We’d better check the box ‘yes,’” she said.

People don’t always know what to say to someone with a cancer diagnosis. One acquaintance told me about a friend who had cancer.

She had a mastectomy, followed by reconstructive surgery.

“And her breasts are really perky now,” she told me.

Sometimes well-meaning people seem compelled to tell me about their friends or relatives who died from cancer.

But it’s the people who help you through. Family, friends and sometimes people who are almost strangers, but who are ready to listen and cry with you, who are ready to pray and to curse – they’re the ones who get you through. People who take the time to make a call, fire off a quick text or send an e-mail – they’re the ones who helped me survive.

And it’s because of those people – and early detection – that I am able to walk into the future, whatever it might bring.

TO Letter THE Editor

Vote for your passion To the Editor, What is your passion?

Several youth in Colorado demonstrated because their passion was to have a say regarding their education.

Eighty-four percent of registered voters in Scotland turned out to vote. Their passion was whether or not to stay with Great Britain.

My passion: “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

This is why I will vote on Nov. 4.

What about you?

Shirley Peterson Princeton

‘Learn. Decide. Vote.’

To the Editor, Autumn has always been my favorite season. The changing colors of the leaves, the snap in the morning air, the sound of combines harvesting the crops have always brought a smile to my face.

As an added bonus, every other year I saw what I took as proof that our dreams could be realized, our hopes renewed and our opinions represented by people WE choose.

Yes, it’s also the season of political ads, yard signs and billboards.

Once upon a time, they helped inform us of the politician’s values. It’s become increasingly difficult to figure out where a candidate stands on a given issue. As

Election Letters to the Editor The last day the Bureau County Republican will publish Letters to the Editor regarding the Nov. 4 election or any candidate is Thursday, Oct. 30. No Letters to the Editor regarding any campaign or candidate will be published after that date. Letters should be 500 words or less and not contain libelous or slanderous statements. Questions? Call BCR Editor Terri Simon at 815875-4461, ext. 6330.

a matter of fact, when was the last time you saw a yard sign or television ad that indicated to what party the candidate belonged?

It’s tough to choose who to vote for when most of the political advertising is being concentrated on who we should vote against. I don’t think the campaign culture is going to change soon, but we can’t use it as an excuse to give up. We can’t abdicate our responsibilities as citizens to do what it takes to research the candidates, seeking to find their values and inspecting their past performances.

We can no longer use campaign materials as “crib” sheets to guide our decisions. We have to do some homework – and it’s really not all that hard. You could read some local newspaper accounts, watch the national news a few times a week, or read some articles from a magazine that doesn’t have a picture of Angelina or

George and Amal on the front cover.

Not so long ago, my youngest son asked me, “Do you want me to grow up to be a _________?”

(He used the name of the political party with which I mostly closely identify.) I told him, honestly, “Not necessarily. But I do want you to grow up to be informed and when you’re old enough vote according to your values.”

Isn’t that what the founding of American was all about – building a country on the principles of individual freedom and responsibility? Surely, if we don’t take care of our responsibility to guide our government through our votes we will see our freedom erode. Sadly, I think the erosion has started.

And, as any farmer can tell you, once the erosion gets to a certain point, there’s no stopping it.

Learn. Decide. Vote.

IVSO will welcome Casey McGrath LASALLE — The Illinois Valley Symphony Orchestra will feature Casey McGrath, well-known violinist in the Chicago and its suburban area, as soloist for the Oct. 25 concert at LaSalle-Peru High School’s Matthiessen Auditorium. The concert will begin at 4 p.m. under the direction of Conductor Lucia Matos.

McGrath holds a Doctorate in Violin Performance from the University of Illinois School of Music and a Master of Music in Violin from the Cincinnati Conservatory. She has appeared as soloist with the Fox Valley Philharmonic, the Joliet Symphony, the Metropolitan Youth Symphony and the Fox Valley Orchestra, and regularly appears with the New Philharmonic, Northwest Indiana, and Elgin Symphony orchestras.

She is concertmaster of the Fox Valley Orchestra (Aurora) and DuPage Symphony, first violinist of the Navitas String Quartet, and violin soloist for Tango Espejo, an ensemble dedicated to the authentic performance of works by Astor Piazzolla.

She holds faculty positions at Joliet Junior College, Uni-

versity of St. Francis, and Lewis University, as well as at several Joliet area high schools. She also loves playing with the IVSO when her schedule allows.

She will perform Pablo de Sarasate’s “Zigeunerweisen.” She first soloed with this in 2011 and has kept it fresh in her repertoire ever since. She was immediately drawn to it for the improvisatory nature of the first half — a great opportunity for the soloist to express individuality. At a time when honoring the notated score was such as strict practice, it was for this reason that Sarasate’s work was so captivating and revolutionary to her. Sarasate based this ever popular orchestral fantasy on themes of the Roma people. It combines a memorable melody with technical virtuosity.

Also included on the program is Rimsky-Korsakov’s most famous large work, “Scheherazade,” a familiar suite for orchestra. The four movements are “The Sea and Sinbad’s Ship,” “The Tale of Prince Kalander,” “The Young Prince and the Princess” and “The Festival at Bagdad.” Each tells a

story and features solo passages by various members and sections of the orchestra.

Admission is by season subscription or individual ticket. Tickets are $15 for adults, $5 for students with ID. Subscriptions are still available for $50 for adults, $90 for a family. This concert is being sponsored by Spring Valley City Bank, Eureka Savings Band and Central Radio Group, season sponsor, and in part by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council. The auditorium is handicapped accessible.

Tickets still may be purchased by visiting www. ivso.org or at the door the day of the concert.

Couple opens Zig’s Station

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

TISKILWA — Tiskilwa residents now have a gas station in town after an absence of one for three years.

Craig Ziegler and Jodi Saletzki on Saturday opened Zig’s Station at 101 E. Main St. where a gas station has been in town for many years before it closed in 2011.

“There was a need in the community,” said Saletzki.

“We did a lot of soul searching before buying this place.

We were told this would help with the real estate market in town with having a gas station.”

Saletzki has lived in town for seven and one-half years while Ziegler has lived in Tiskilwa for his entire life.

He also owns Steimle’s Garage in town.

“I love this town,” added Saletzki. “The support we have received from the town is awesome. It took us four months to remodel this building and give it a

Jodi Saletzki stands in Zig’s Station in Tiskilwa that opened for business on Saturday.

She and Craig Ziegler are the owner/operators of the convenience store and gas station. new look. We had a lot of volunteer help to get open because the town wanted it.”

Saletzki said since the station is independent and not branded, it allows them more flexibility to service the community’s needs and desires.

“We have started a wish book to see what we should carry. We want to know what our customers want and to serve the community. We don’t want things to

sit on our shelves,” she said.

In addition to the basic convenience store items, the station also sells gas and donuts made daily by Saletzki.

“We have two grades of fuel, regular and biodiesel until it gets colder. We will then have regular diesel because it won’t gel up in the winter months,” added Saletzki, who has worked in the banking industry for 10 years and the insurance industry for six years before

this latest venture with Ziegler, who has worked at Steimle’s Garage since 1979 and owned it since 1983.

Zig’s Station is open seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. The store’s phone number is 815-6461142.

It will be a family-run business with the couple’s five children also working at the station.

“It teaches them responsibility,” Saletzki said.

Dr. Daniel hosts Chinese doctor PRINCETON — Dr. Elie Daniel, podiatrist at Perry Memorial Hospital, provided an observational fellowship opportunity for Dr. Xu Lin. While completing his observational fellowship, Dr. Lin worked with Dr. Daniel in the field of podiatric medicine. The fellowship included observations of foot and ankle care from the skin to bone.

The fellowship also included first-hand experience in diabetic wound care, management and salvage procedures. Dr. Xu also had the opportunity to observe Dr. Daniel while in surgery, as well as procedures for orthopedic therapies.

Before observing Dr. Daniel, Dr. Xu completed a six-month fellowship in the United States in Minneapolis, Rochester, New Orleans, South Carolina and Las Vegas.

Power Purchase Agreement signed for wind energy MG2 Tribal Energy (“MG2”), a partnership between the Mesa Grande Band of Mission Indians (Mesa Grande) and renewable energy company, Geronimo Energy, has announced the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has entered into a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to buy 140 megawatts (MW) of clean wind energy from the Walnut Ridge Wind Farm in western Illinois.

The PPA was sourced via a competitive public Request for Proposal process through the GSA and marks the largest U.S. Federal Government wind energy contract signed in U.S. history.

Mesa Grande and Geronimo entered into a partnership to form MG2 Tribal Energy in order to jointly pursue renewable energy opportunities throughout the United States. This PPA represents a first for MG2 Tribal Energy, with prospects for many more in the future.

The Walnut Ridge Wind Farm is currently under development with approximately 14,500 acres and up to 225 MW in the total projected footprint.

According to the company, the 140 MW PPA is esti-

mated to produce approximately 500 gigawatt hours of electricity annually, eliminating an estimated 499,973 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions each year.

The 140 MW PPA will bring an estimated $47 million of direct economic impact to the local area over 20 years, including: $21 million in additional tax revenue, $16 million in landowner payments, $560,000 in charitable gifts to the local community and the creation of 10 full-time, permanent local jobs.

“As part of GSA’s commitment to greening the federal government, we are working to ensure that we don’t just use energy but create it as well,” says GSA Administrator Dan Tangherlini. “This project will add to the power grid in a sustainable way and ensure that we become less dependent on fossil fuels. We are proud of our progress toward meeting the federal government’s renewable energy goals and look forward to taking advantage of future opportunities that will help us with this effort.”

“The Mesa Grande Band is excited about our partnership with both Geron-

imo Energy and the GSA,” says Mark Romero, chairman of the Mesa Grande.

“With very limited opportunities to generate revenue on the reservation due to our remote location, the Mesa Grande Band has sought out multiple economic development strategies, including our partnership with Geronimo.

This contract represents an important step forward in the history of the Mesa Grande Band because it is entirely consistent with our historic concern for Mother Earth and the continued availability of clean water, land and air for future generations. Few other economic development opportunities enable us to remain so true to our cultural and spiritual values.”

“Geronimo is proud to develop economically viable renewable energy projects for customers, now including the federal government via this contract with the GSA,” says Geronimo Energy President, Blake Nixon. “Our partnership in MG2 has been a mutually beneficial venture from the beginning, and by securing this PPA with the GSA, our partnership with the Mesa Grande has an exciting future.”

Red Devils, Tigers to close out season

BCR game of the Week

Last week, the Hall Red Devils couldn’t avoid the trap of facing a winless Kewanee team on the heels of a big win over arch-rival St. Bede, narrowly escaping with a 14-13 victory thanks to a missed PAT kick.

With the memory of that game still fresh in their minds, Hall coach Randy Tieman won’t have much convincing when talking to his team about its meet-

“We talked all last week to the kids about Kewanee

We have to do a better job up front on offense and give our backs some room to run.”

That’s exactly what coach Jesse Snyder aims to do, continue the momentum the Tigers have gained this year on the heels of a 20-game losing streak, but not be satisfied

East Peoria 1A Sectional: Monmouth-Roseville 4, Princeton 0

Shut out at sectional

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

EAST PEORIA — The Princeton Tigers played Monmouth-Roseville to a scoreless battle though the first 39 minutes of Tuesday’s Peoria Christian Class 1A Sectional soccer matchup at the EastSide Centre.

A goal by Monmouth-Roseville star Agustin Miranda with 37 seconds left in the first half changed the whole complex of the game. The Tigers never recovered from an offsides call that didn’t go their way, falling 4-0 with a lackluster second-half effort.

“The goal scored at the end of the half took us out of game, and we started thinking about things other than playing soccer, worrying about things we can’t control and then we started playing a sloppy second half. We got taken out of our game by ourselves,” PHS coach David Gray said.

“The timing and I think the circumstances really got in our boys’ heads, but we can’t let that happen.

It’s a weakness on our part.

We let it take us out of our

We came out with all kind of things that distracted us, and we lost our focus and lost out our quality of play.”

Gray did not wish to comment further on the circumstances of that goal.

The Perfect Storm

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — Chants of “Keep the Streak” echoed from the Bureau Valley student section in the waning moments of Tuesday’s TRAC-East conference showdown Tuesday in Manlius.

Storm fans wouldn’t be disappointed as the Storm capped a perfect 12-0 conference season topping the visiting Lady Comets from Sterling Newman 25-16, 25-23 on Senior Night at BV. With Game 2 tied 23-23, a hard shot from senior outside hitter Val Reuter ricocheted off of a Newman defender and trickled down the top of the net before eventually dropping for the go ahead point.

The crowed erupted when senior outside hitter Heaven Bennett put an exclamation point on the evening and undefeated conference play for the season with a kill that she slammed home with authority.

“I’ve told the girls that I’ve never doubted them on the court.” BV coach Abbi Bosnich said.

“I know they have fight in them, a desire to win, and they are extremely

competitive. It comes out often, and as you can see I’m very proud of them.”

Game 1 was one sided as BV got out to a quick 7-3.

After the Storm took an 18-10 lead on a Reuter kill, the Lady Comets quickly went on a 5-1 run to cut the Storm lead to four.

Senior setter Sydney Lebahn quickly ended any chance of a comeback, scoring five service points including two aces that Comet defenders couldn’t handle.

A kill by senior Carlie Bickett ended the first match 25-16.

BV never trailed during the first game but had to pull out a win in a tough fought second game that saw 10 lead changes before the Storm came out on top.

BV looked to have a quick start going, grabbing a 3-1 lead in game two on an ace by senior defensive specialist Jenha Thomas.

Newman’s first lead came on a net violation

by BV to grab a 6-5 lead in game two.

Reuter lifted her team up, striking a hard kill off of a Newman defender

Sister acts play well in Bureau County Princeton volleyball coach Andy Puck had one question for Sarah Murray when he was considering bringing up her freshman sister Anna to the varsity team this fall.

“Puck asked me if there were going to be any problems and asked, ‘There aren’t going to be any fights right?’ I just smiled and said no, because we rarely ever fight at home, games or even practices. If anything, we make each other happier,” Sarah Murray said.

They do it that very well.

“When we are down on a play we can simply look at each other and laugh it all off,” Anna said.

The Murrays are one of three sister acts playing around Bureau County,

Kevin Hieronymus HIERONYMUS’ HYPOTHESIS

including Bureau Valley’s Regan and Hailey Weidner in cross country and Princeton’s Malena and Mallory Wheeler in tennis.

Like true sisters, big sister Regan Weidner quips, with a smile, “Ah, it goes back and forth. One day we love each other and the next day we hate each other.”

While they might fight at home as sisters are known to do, Mallory Wheeler said she and Malena don’t fight on the tennis courts. Certainly nothing like the former brother tandem at PHS Wheeler said coach Connie Lind told them broke into fisticuffs.

“Yes, that is true. The only fights we really get into are what you would expect of any set of sisters,” Malena said. “I love having my sister as my partner because we just play so well together. We had decided at the beginning of the season that if there were any issues between us at the time of a match, we were to leave the problems at the gate.

Malena said it is definitely more fun playing with her sister, “because we are so similar that everything always just works. It is really nice playing with her because it is so easy to talk to each other, and we are always giving each other constructive criticism.”

Sarah Murray has the same feelings about playing with Anna.

“We can tell when one of us is down or frustrated and when I’m down all I have to do is just look at Anna do a funny face or say the simplest thing and I’ll laugh,” she said.

“We’re always going to and from practices and games with each other. We know when to leave each other alone when neither of us want to talk. We can talk to each other about anything, the tough practices, the losses, the wins, and everything in between. Having her on the team actually makes things easier and more fun for me. We can share the same memories together and that’s what’s awesome.”

The Murrays know where to turn to for a friendly face or advice.

“Playing with Sarah is honestly so much fun. For the most part, we laugh and joke around with each other. I know that I can turn to her on the court to get honest advice because she does not worry about hurting my feelings,” Anna said. “With Sarah, it’s like we have a connection that us

ourselves don’t really notice, we just react well to each other’s instinct. I think it’s because we know one another so well.

“This being Sarah and my first year playing together, my mom says that she enjoys watching how we collaborate together.”

Haley has overtaken her sister this year as Regan, the former BCR Runner of the Year, continues to battle through injuries that slowed her down last year. She’s keeping right up with her, if not ahead, nearly every step of the way.

She said earlier in the season that no one has really teased her about Haley passing her up, which was a little surprising.

“I would expect people in my class and

my family would, but I think it’s because they know I’ve struggled the past year and it’s kind of hard on me. I don’t think they give me a hard time because of that reason,” Regan said. “She pushes me, so that’s good.”

Haley is just glad to have Regan around.

“She pushes me a lot. I like having someone on the team I know a little more,” she said.

And that’s even though she may, as Regan joked, “hate” having her around the next day.

with it. A win over the Red Devils would surely have a carry-over affect with such a junior-laden squad with the task of changing the culture at Princeton.

“Every game is a big game, for any program. But for us, with the junior class we do have and the kids we have coming back, we talk about the importance of getting after Hall because we play them early in the season next year. That’s kind of been the mentality we’re pushing in practice this week,” Snyder said.

The rivalry game with Hall could be just what the football doctor ordered for the Tigers after a lackluster effort against Rockridge.

“It’s a rivalry game. The kids talk about it in practice.

It’s an opportunity for us to come out to play our rival, no matter what their records indicate or what happens, it’s always a dog fight,” Snyder said.

Hall enters the season-finale with 37 playoff points with a guarantee of three more and potential for six. A seventh win would give the Red Devils a better seed than last year (6) when they won six games.

“I don’t think seven wins gets us a home game but it will get us a better seed. At this point anyone you play will be a good team,” Tieman said.

BCR insider: It’s win or go home for the Storm, who need their all-important fifth win to become playoff eligible. A win would cap an amaz-

Lady Bruins rally to trip Hall

By Holli Rapp sports@bcrnews.com

PERU — A memorable evening became even more so for the St. Bede Lady Bruins and their five seniors as they defeated the Hall Lady Red Devils for the second time this season on Senior Night 25-22, 22-25, 26-24 in a match that saw many turns of momentum.

St. Bede coach Dawn Williams said she ran a slightly different lineup to feature senior setter Emma Perona and let all five of our seniors play major roles.

Hall had the momentum starting Game 3 with four service points from junior setter Brooke Keegan before Claire Dudek blocked a Hall spike to end the run.

Both teams were feel-

and one from Dudek that finished off the match and the memorable evening for the Lady Bruins with the TRAC conference win.

“Hanna Bima, Claire Dudek, and Samantahn Whalen led our team in kills and smart plays at the net. Zoe (Postula) stepped in during the last series of points and made three big plays. Chase Ludford played a solid, all-around game hitting, setting, passing, and serving,” Williams said.

Hall coach Megan Uphoff said mental errors proved costly for the Lady Devils.

“If we would have kept out some mental errors the outcome could have been different,” she said.

“It was a great match for both teams,” Uphoff said.

ing each other out with Hall up 18-13 before the Lady Bruins went on a roll behind the serve of Ludford and the hitting of Dudek and Whalen.

A miscommunication error by Hall brought the Lady Bruins within two at 18-16. Both teams traded points before a Hall passing error, a Hanna Bima kill put the SBA up 21-19.

Jenna Lusietto responded with a kill from the outside to put the score at 21-20, a Bima foot fault and a passing error by SBA put Hall up 22-21.

“Game 3 we were down 11-18, but big plays by several people changed the momentum and we came charging back for the victory,” said Williams.

Junior Zoe Postula, came into the lineup and responded with two kills along with two from Bima

“The girls just aren’t one without the other. They talk about that a lot, being a family, and they’ve done a nice job of bringing each other together this year,” Bosnich said.

Two huge plays at the net by senior right side hitter Ali Siltman gave BV its biggest advantage to that point in the second game at 18-16.

“Val Reuter stepped up at the net. She had nine kills for us, that was good to see from her and Ali Siltman, it was her first night back (from injury), she had a couple of big blocks for us, and I think that helped her build her confidence back up as well,” Bosnich said.

Reuter had nine kills and five service points to lead the offense, while Siltman added 3.5 blocks for the defense.

“Confidence is something that this team needs.

They need to believe in themselves and what they have done this season,” Bosnich said. “I think that’s the biggest battle you fight as a coach is having the girls believe in themselves and what they are capable of as a team.”

• The BV freshmen were the true perfect Storm, finishing the season 19-0 and 12-0 as conference champions with a 2-0 win. Newman won the sophomore game 2-0.

“When we went down two, I think that’s where it really, it completely left us,” said Gray, adding while his players may not have agreed with the penalty kick call, he believed it was correct.

Miranda, who now has 44 goals on the season, added another in the second half to make 3-0. He was a game-changer, Gray said “I feel like we kind of got a little mesmerized by his touches, and let him get by us,” Gray said. “He’s a quality player.

There’s a reason he’s scored 40-plus goals. He had two tonight on us. I anticipate if he gets loose Friday, he’ll score some more, too.”

Monmouth-Roseville (20-4-1) will face Peoria Christian in Friday’s sectional finals. Christian overcame a 1-0 halftime deficit to defeat defending sectional champ Somonauk.

Gray was pleased to continue the Tigers’ regional success, now with three straight, in his first year, but is aiming to improve.

“The regional success, that feels good. I feel like there are things I could have done better this season, partly a learning experience for me,” he said.

“The boys worked their butts for me all year. It was a great time. They’re really a great group of guys to be around. I’m always going to remember this first

“These girls played with a lot of heart, came together as a team, and did not let mistakes get the best of them.”

Game 2 saw the Lady Bruins go to their senior middle hitter Claire Dudek and senior outside hitter Sam Whalen for four consecutive kills that forced Hall coach Megan Uphoff call a timeout with her team up 20-16.

St. Bede sophomore Chase Ludford went on a service run including a few Hall hitting errors and two Ludford aces. Hall finished off the second game of the match on three errors by St. Bede.

Ludford led the team with 14 points, Dudek had nine points and nine kills and Bima had 10 kills. Julia Pohar had 16 digs, Whalen 14, and freshmen Alexa Damerell with 11 kills. Sadie Long (11) and Emma Perona (10) led the team in assists.

Notes: The Lady Bruins sophomores improved to 11-0 in conference with a 25-15, 25-14 win. The Lady Bruins will host regional next week, including Hall.

“We played a tough schedule. You look at our record, we’re not satisfied about that. But we feel like we play a stiff schedule, so it’s going to take a good night every night to get a lot of wins.”

Illinois Valley Scene

With all the different Halloween parties coming up, I thought you might be in need of some appetizers to go along with all the fun.

Knorr Spinach Dip 1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed (do not use fresh) 1 1/2 cup sour cream 1 cup mayonnaise (I use Hellmann’s) 1 4-ounce package Knorr vegetable soup mix 1 8-ounce can water chestnuts, finely chopped 3 green onions, finely chopped Loaf of pumpernickel bread Squeeze spinach until dry. In medium bowl, stir together spinach, sour cream and soup mix. Add finely chopped water chestnuts and green onions. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight. Cut slice from top of round loaf of pumpernickel bread. Hollow out loaf to leave shell to contain dip. Use bread removed from shell and top slice to cut into bite size pieces. Butter inside of bread shell. Fill loaf with dip and place on platter and surround with bread pieces and a variety of raw vegetables. After the dip is eaten, enjoy the dip soaked bread shell as well.

Olive Cheese Puffs 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 cup flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon paprika Dash of cayenne pepper

40 medium size pimiento stuffed Manzanilla olives, well drained Preheat oven to 400°. Place cheese and butter in a large mixing bowl and blend with an electric mixer on low speed until creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add flour, salt, paprika and cayenne pepper and blend well. Working with 1 heaping teaspoon of dough at a time, mold dough around an olive and place it on an ungreased rimmed baking sheet. Repeat until all the dough and olives have been used. Bake puffs for 13 to 16 minutes or until lightly browned. Using a metal spatula, transfer to a rack to cool or serve them warm on a platter.

Pineapple Appetizer Meatballs 1 8-ounce can crushed pineapple 1 egg 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs 1/8 teaspoon pepper 1/2 pound bulk pork sausage 1/2 pound ground beef Glaze 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup ketchup 1/4 cup white vinegar 1/4 cup water 2 tablespoons Dijon Mayonnaise blend Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Place pineapple and 2 tablespoons juice in a large bowl (set the remaining juice aside for glaze). Add 1 egg, bread crumbs and pepper in pineapple. Combine sausage and beef over mixture and mix well.

Shape into 1-inch balls. Place meatballs on a greased rack in a shallow baking pan.
