A new website for Walnut Board also discusses animal control, ATV ordinance

By Nita Wyatt news@bcrnews.com

WALNUT — Walnut Village Board member Aaron Staker brought the completed proposal for establishing of a village of Walnut website to the meeting this week.

Staker has been working for several months to obtain bids for a proposed village website.

This website would allow the board, the village clerk and other village officials the opportunity to quickly publicize important information for all village residents.

The proposed bid package was put out to a wide range of vendors. Staker received four completed bid packages. After reviewing all of the packages for the critical criteria established: Cost, sample sites, maintenance costs, size/reputation, accessibility (responsive layouts), location and time for completion, Staker made a recommendation to the board.

If the board is interested in proceeding with this project, Staker suggested the board select Virtual Putty, located in Florida. Originally Staker searched for either a local vendor or a vendor from Illinois, but his search did not come up with any company that could provide the necessary skills needed for the establishment of a website and under the cost restraints he proposed.

The entire board was encouraged by Staker to review the written proposal and also to visit some of the other websites this company has built. A decision about proceeding with the website and this company will be made at the next regular board meeting scheduled for Nov. 18.

Council discusses what to do about emergency utility calls

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON – The Princeton City Council is considering its options when it comes to handling Princeton’s utility service emergency calls.

At Monday’s council meeting, Commissioner Joel Quiram brought up the discussion, saying the city has staff onsite 24/7 at the current water treatment plant to handle any emergency service calls from residents regarding electric outages or other emergency utility situations. However, the new water treatment plant will be automated, and manning the new plant 24/7 will not be needed, Quiram said.

As an option to handle those emergency service calls, Quiram presented proposals from the CRC (Call Response Center) company in Minnesota and the local BuEComm office.

Quiram said the proposals show CRC was the less expensive option. The average annual cost for the BuEComm service was $20,764 over a three-year period, compared

Sheffield studies water discrepancies Playground project moves forward

By Andrew Fisher news@bcrnews,com

SHEFFIELD — The Sheffield Village Board took action Tuesday night to solve a community water mystery.

The mystery involves discrepancies between how much water the master flow meters at the Public Works Department say residences and businesses are consuming. The Public Works Department

is measuring 24 million gallons a year.

Residential and business water meters are only measuring 17 million gallons a year.

In order to get to the bottom of the seven million gallon difference, the village board approved of tests to get an accurate understanding of the village’s water usage. The tests will be conducted

by Midwest Meter of Edinburgh.

In a discussion with the board, repre-

sentatives from Midwest Meter suggested tests of the village’s two master flow meters be made. Several 2-inch usage meters in the village will also be tested.

The cost for the preliminary tests will be upwards of $1,000. Results from the tests should be available within a week of the tests taking place. Once those results are in, the village will have to decide whether to replace the flow meters, the residential and business meters, or both.

Ride of Pride in Ladd Chuck Ceccacci of Flowery Branch, Ga., stands with preschool students Wednesday at Ladd Grade School with his Ride of Pride semi truck he drives around the country as a rolling tribute to the sacrifices of the country’s military veterans, past and present. Ceccacci, the 2013 Ride of Pride driver, served in the U.S. Marine Corps for nine years and spoke to around 240 students attending the school.

Walnut From Page 1 Acting village president, Dennis Grobe led a discussion regarding the pros and cons of continuing the village’s current contract with Bureau County Animal Control. The cost of this contract is $200 per quarter and provides Walnut with support when an ani-

mal control situation arises. The contract is renewed in six-month (or two quarter) increments.

The board agreed to renew the contract for another six months for $400.

At the end of that six-month period, the board will re-evaluate the worth of this contract.

Chief of Police Thomas Ptasnik provided information to

the board on the possibility of allowing ATVs and golf carts to operate within the village.

Per Ptasnik, the state statute provides that a municipality is allowed to establish whatever regulations it wants with regard to these types of vehicles. State law further provides these vehicles are not allowed to operate on state or county roads. Ptasnik felt

that if an ordinance was approved for these vehicles, the village would want to provide for some type of registration of the vehicles, and the ordinance would also include other requirements, like licensed drivers only, etc.

The board tabled the topic of ATVs and golf carts until the first December meeting to be held on Dec. 2. At

that meeting, Ptasnik will provide some additional information after he has had an opportunity to contact some other municipalities with ordinances in effect for these vehicles.

Superintendent Carl Minks reported the water tower maintenance project was completed as of Nov. 3. Extensive work was completed on the interior of the tower including epoxy placed on the wet portion of the tower. The epoxy will need to dry until Nov. 11. Filling of the tower will commence on that day. After filling, testing will need to be done on the water quality. The target date for the water tower to be back online is Nov. 18. With the repairs that were completed, the water tower should be worry free for many years. Minks was commended for his organization of this project and the successful completion.

Minks also stated Matt Hansen from Willett & Hoffman Engineering Firm, Dixon, will be in attendance at the next board meeting on Nov. 18. Hansen will be discussing with the board the next step in the sewer upgrade project previously approved by the board. The board will need to make decisions regarding the possible increase in sewer rates for village residents.

Building revenue Tax levy, membership rates discussed

by Princeton Park Board

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton Park Board continues to look at revenue sources for the park district, including taxes and membership rates.

At Monday’s meeting, the park board adopted the final 2013 real estate tax levy, which shows the district getting about $14,530 less in real estate taxes for the new year.

As presented at last month’s board meeting by the park district’s attorney Bob Russell, the estimated 2013 tax rate is about 35 cents for the regular funds, with another 59 cents for the bonds to be issued by the park district, for a total tax rate of about 94 cents. In comparison, the 2012 tax rate totaled 95 cents.

With no new questions on the tax levy at Monday’s meeting, park board members Gene Englehart, Dennis Nink and Dick Volker voted to adopt the 2013 real estate tax levy as presented, with board members Andy Marti and Bob Halberg absent.

In other business at Monday’s meeting, the board approved a recommendation by Elaine Russell, executive director, to increase membership rates for patrons of the Bureau County Metro Center. The rate increase will be minimal, she said.

Effective Jan. 1, the membership rates will

be increased by $3 in the single person categories and by $5 in multiple persons categories.

This will be the fourth year for a membership rate increase, and hopefully, she will be able to come to the board next year and recommend no increase for that year, Russell said.

The new rate increase is needed just to help keep up with rising inflation costs, Russell said.

The park board had previously gone for nine years without any membership rate increases.

No one likes membership rate increases, but the patrons have been understanding and receptive, she said.

Daily fees for people using the Metro Center did not increase.

Prior to Monday’s meeting, the board held a bond hearing to answer questions from the public on the upcoming sale of general obligation bonds in the amount of $790,000.

Other than members of the media, no one from the public attended the bond hearing.

The $790,000 amount of the bond represents a slight decrease from recent years, which has been more in the $800,000 range. The amount the park district can bond is directly connected to the amount of taxes the district can levy, Russell said Tuesday. Due to a decrease in the park district’s equalized assessed valuation (EAV) and other tax adjustments, the percentage available to bond has decreased, she said.

MANLIUS — The village of Manlius is in overall good financial position, according to its auditor.

At Tuesday’s meeting, the Manlius Village Board heard from auditor David Wilcoxson on the audit recently completed for the village.

Reviewing some of the highlights of the audit, Wilcoxson said the audit shows the village has more than $500,000 in cash in all funds in the village’s governmental-type activities and another $52,000 in the business-type activities. The governmentaltype activities has about $18,000 in liabilities, and the business-type activities has about $42,000 in liabilities.

The business-type activities for Manlius includes the water and sewer departments, and the governmental-type activities include the general fund and other funds for which taxes are collected, the auditor said.

Taxable assessed value of the village is about $2.4 million, which brought in about $30,000 in local taxes, Wilcoxson said. The tax rate for the village was at 1.28 in 2012 year, compared to 1.20 in the previous year and 1.12 two years ago, he said.

Looking at other revenue sources, Wilcoxson said revenue from water and sewer fees went from $129,000 a year ago to $147,000 this year. Motor Fuel Tax collection was at $8,847

Board member gives her side of story

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — A Manlius Village Board member has explained her side of the story of a recent incident involving a resident.

At Tuesday’s village board meeting, board member Jan Williams said she wanted to let people know what happened after the board’s recent special board meeting.

On the Friday after that special meeting, someone showed up at her house who didn’t like the way she had voted or the information she had supplied, Williams said. There were two people in the car and the male got out of the car and was having a “decent” conversation with her, as she (Williams) was preparing to leave in her own vehicle.

Williams said the male was trying to stop the other person from getting out of the car, but the person, a female, got out. The female started cussing and screaming at Williams saying she was “killing her children.”

Williams said she and the man both told the woman to get back in the car. The woman did get back in the car, but continued to swear at her and called her crazy, Williams said.

At that time, Williams said she proceeded to retaliate with her own words because she’d had enough. How much does a person have to swallow, Williams asked.

After her explanation of the incident, Williams asked village attorney Mick Henneberry if there was a way to prevent people from coming to your house and behaving like that when you are on the village board.

In response, Henneberry said each board member has the choice to make. If the board member feels they are personally under attack, they have the right to seek an order of protection, the attorney said.

Williams said she had called the police, but she wanted the rest of the board and those in attendance at Tuesday’s meeting to know what happened.

Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com. for the 2012 year and $8,549 in the 2013 year, with the village receiving a $1,542 state grant for both years.

Also, the village’s TIF (Tax Increment Financing) District brings in some money for the district. The village current-

ly has about $300,000 in that fund. The current TIF District will continue until 2019, he said.

“All in all, you are in pretty good financial position, basically operating in the black,” Wilcoxson said.

In other business at Tuesday’s meeting, Mayor Rob Hewitt announced the village board would not be discussing the wood burning ordinance as originally planned for that meeting. More research was needed into the issue, he said.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, the board had agreed to create a wood-burning ordinance after a resident approached the board earlier this year with a concern that his neighbor’s homemade, outdoor wood stove burner was allegedly producing a large quantity of thick, blue smoke.

The board also heard Tuesday night from Village Superintendent Mike Rowland who gave an update on the ongoing water meter installation project. There are still 59 meters which he hasn’t yet been able to install because of his already busy work schedule, Rowland said.

Board member Dawn Reglin asked Rowland if he needed help in getting the installation work done. The village needs to finish the job, she said.

After further discussion, the board agreed to look into hiring a licensed plumber to help with installation work.

Council From Page 1

From Page 1 Representatives from Midwest Meter said water problems such as those being experienced by the village are usually the result of inaccurate meters at the water plant and in the village proper.

Meters can become faulty over time and produce inaccurate readings. The inaccurate readings also result in improper sewage billing, since water and sewer usage are linked. The tests will be conducted in the spring due to village manpower constraints in the winter.

The tests will be supervised by Public Works Superintendent Leif Porter.

According to representatives from Midwest Meter, the village’s meter read problems could be the result of chemicals and minerals in the water.

Chemicals and minerals in water can cause meters to read slow or fast. The effects of chemicals and minerals tend to increase over time, so meters should be changed every 10 years according to water association standards. The village’s meter read discrepancies have increased over time.

Depending on the meter type chosen, prices for new residen-

tial and business meters would be in the $145 to $185 range. The village has between 450 and 500 meters on its water grid. It is unlikely the village would replace all of the meters at one time.

The life expectancy of a typical water meter is around one million gallons. To put that number in perspective, a typical U.S. residence uses about 6,000 gallons of water a month.

In other news, Connie Hahne reported the new playground equipment project has reached $42,500 toward its $50,000 goal. Many of the donations came from outside the community.

The playground equipment will be ordered in January. The project committee plans on keeping the big swing and the big slide at Veterans/ School Park. All of the other existing equipment will be removed.

The playground equipment project plans to replace decrepit and obsolete equipment at the village’s park. Hahne said a lot of younger parents have been taking their children to playgrounds in other cities that have better equipment.

At the meeting, Hahne presented a poster with graphics showing the types of the planned equipment. The proj-

ect intends to have the equipment installed by June 2014. It will use volunteers, many of them local farmers, with the help of equipment provider Play Creations.

The new playground will have to meet state and federal guidelines, so there is concern about whether to cover the playground with mulch or pea gravel.

The playground equipment project also wants to construct a memorial brick wall to help fund the upkeep of the equipment.

Hahne noted the village has not spent any money on the project. Board members responded by suggesting the village put $7,500 toward the project’s shortfall.

Village Mayor William Rosenow also presented a $1,000 check to the playground equipment project. The check was from former Sheffield resident Conrad Hewitt.

Hewitt resides in Napa, Calif. Hewitt gave the donation in honor of his mother, Blanche Hewitt, of Sheffield, who turned 105 years old on Oct. 15.

The local American Legion says it wants to help fund the playground equipment project, too, according to board member Chester Fritz.

Rosenow also suggested the village look into

construction of a public restroom for the park, akin to those found at the nearby Hennepin Canal.

Also at the meeting, an audit of the village’s finances was presented

by David Wilcoxson of Wilcoxson & Associates Ltd. of LaSalle. The good news is that the village is in the black. A highlight of the audit was that the assessed valuation of the village increased in 2012 to $6.7 million. Assessed value levy is now at $1.88 per thousand, so taxes and revenue are about the same as last year.

Wilcoxson also said the village has reached the maximum amount of money it can receive without increasing taxes through a referendum.

The board expressed interest in the ability of the village to assess a tax to help pay for the village park.

In other business, the village board approved the promotion of Mike Minneart, a hired laborer, to full-time status with a wage of $12.50 an hour.

He has worked part-time for the village since April.

A rezoning request was also approved to change a lot to B3 to build a vet clinic. The first payment for sewer plant begins this month. The payment will be $6,000 quarterly.

New scam targets immigrants CHICAGO — Scammers are posing as immigration officials, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), calling visa applicants to demand personal and monetary information and threatening to deport or arrest applicants if they don’t obey. The Better Business Bureau urges consumers to never give out personal information to

these callers and to ignore them.

Sometimes the caller may know who the person is, including name and address. They inform the individual the government is charging a new fee for visa applicants, and you must pay right away via wire transfer. Not only are visa applicants requested to pay immediately, but in some cases are also asked

for personal information, including Social Security/ bank account numbers.

The BBB says: • Never wire money to these callers. Real representatives from the USCIS will never require people to give money over the phone. Just hang up the phone. If someone claiming to be from the USCIS calls you, hang up and don’t call back. If you call

Sheffield Playground Project coordinator Connie Hahne shows the Sheffield Village Board a poster depicting the types of equipment the committee hopes to purchase for Veterans/School Park. The new equipment will replace the old and dilapidated equipment except for a swing and slide. The committee raising funds for the project has gathered $42,000 toward its $50,000, however, more money was promised Tuesday night at the Sheffield Village Board meeting.

to an annual average three-year cost of $12,972 for CRC. Though based in Minnesota, CRC would still have a local number, which would then be routed to Minnesota. The chances of that call being answered by a live person was 98 percent, Quiram said.

One of his concerns with using BuEComm is that BuEComm is geared toward emergency calls — not dealing with utilities, which is what Princeton would primarily be considering, Quiram said.

In looking at another option, Quiram said the city could look into manning the city’s electric plant 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which was done a few years ago.

However, that would require planning for a third shift and for weekends, he said.

Superintendent Jason Bird said that option would require three additional staff to handle the additional 88 hours of a third shift and weekends.

Addressing the CRC option, Mayor Keith Cain said he was concerned about using an out-of-town call service. He knows what it’s like to have a phone line go down and have to talk to someone who doesn’t know the affected area, or to have to talk with someone who is not easily understood.

“I know it (CRC) is a lot cheaper, but I don’t

know that cheaper is the answer on this situation,” Cain said.

As far as the possible manning of the electric plant 24/7, Commissioner Bob Warren said the council discontinued that 24/7 manning because of the upgraded automation and monitoring equipment in the plant.

After further discussion, the mayor directed Princeton City Manager Jeff Clawson to do more research and gather more information on the city’s options; the discussion is to be put back on the Dec. 2 council meeting agenda.

Also at Monday’s meeting, the council tabled action on a 10-year utility service contract dealing with the maintenance of the 1.5 million gallon water tank at the new water treatment plant.

Clawson said he had some concerns about the proposed contract as presented.

Since working with the company, the company has reduced the overall cost from $1,006,613 to $798,692 and has changed the time for painting the tank from Year 4/5 to Year 8/9, which he thought was more reasonable, Clawson said. Also, the city can now cancel the contract after Year 7 with no additional costs. However, language changes are still being addressed concerning a performance guarantee by the company, Clawson said.

Students decorate school garden PRINCETON — Princeton Christian Academy kindergarten and firstgrade students recently decorated the school garden with hand-painted rocks.

This project was directed by PCA art teacher Chariss Hoffman, who then allowed students to “hide” their creations in various places throughout the garden. While there, the students helped themselves to some of the abundant produce growing there.

This is the first harvest from PCA’s garden which was constructed and planted last fall and spring. PCA families enjoy the vegetables and the flowers planted by the students.

Persich gets prison sentence PRINCETON — A Spring Valley man has been sentenced to the Illinois Department of Corrections after pleading guilty in Bureau County Court to the Class 1 felony of unlawful possession with intent to deliver heroin.

Matthew A. Persich, 26, entered his guilty plea Oct. 28 before Circuit Judge Marc Bernabei. In addition to an eight and one-half year prison sentence, Persich was also ordered to pay fines, fees and court costs totaling $2,187 within one year of his release from the Illinois Department of Corrections.

Persich did receive credit for time served from his arrest on July 19 to his sentencing date.

Persich was represented in court by Public Defender Michael Henneberry. Prosecuting the case was State’s Attorney Patrick Herrmann.

In July 2013, the TRIDENT task force was conducting an investigation into heroin sales by Per-

sich. That investigation led the task force to obtain a search warrant on July 16, issued by Associate Circuit Judge C. J. Hollerich, to search the Spring Valley residence of Persich. Upon execution of the search warrant on July 19, agents found approximately 40 bags of a white powdery substance in a room occupied by Persich and co-defendant Bianca Gallup. Ten of those bags were analyzed at the state crime lab and determined to be 1.1 grams of heroin.

Persich had been previously convicted of unlawful possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance in 2011 in Bureau County, for which he received a five-year sentence to the Illinois Department of Corrections. He was also convicted of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance in 2009 in Bureau County, for which he received four years probation. Persich also has a felony theft conviction in 2005 in LaSalle County.

McInness sentenced to prison PRINCETON — A rural Walnut man has been sentenced to the Illinois Department of Corrections after pleading guilty to the Class 2 felony of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, heroin.

Prior to his Oct. 29 sentencing hearing, Travis J. McInness, 31, agreed to take a 10-year prison sentence for the Class 2 felony.

McInness had pleaded guilty to the felony on Sept. 17 in Bureau County Court.

In addition to the prison sentence, McInness

was also ordered to pay fines, fees and court costs totaling $1,717 within two years of his release from prison.

McInness was given credit for time served from his arrest on April 24 to Oct. 28.

McInness was represented in court by Public Defender Michael Henneberry. Prosecuting the case was State’s Attorney Patrick Herrmann. Associate Circuit Judge C.J. Hollerich presided over the case.

Perspective Bureau County

Republican

Serving Bureau County Since 1847

My Salute to Veterans Around the first part of September, I began to receive a few phone calls, emails and letters. Just a trickle of sorts. People wanting to submit their loved one’s name for the Bureau County Republican’s annual Salute to Veterans special section in honor of Veterans Day. It started off quietly enough. A phone call here, an email there, a couple of letters in the mail for the week. And then it started to grow. I would arrive at work Monday morning to a couple of voice mails from people calling during the weekend. The emails would start to come at a faster pace. I would return from lunch with a stack of envelopes filled with names.

And then it really took off. Each day I would receive a stack of letters, countless phone calls and voice mails and so many emails. I began to worry one COMMENTARY would fall through the cracks.

Each week, I would do a check to make sure for every name we had received the photo was there as well. I was amazed to see how rapidly our list was growing. What was a few dozen names in one week exploded into a hundred names, then a few hundred names.

And then the list from DePue arrived. All 189 handwritten names, hometowns, branches of the armed forces, years served, date of deaths or killed in action.

Each one meticulously written and in a handwriting that would make the author’s school teachers proud.

With that, the list jumped again, and we had nearly 500 names.

But we weren’t quite finished; our deadline was still a couple of weeks out. There was still time to add names.

They continued to pour in from every city, town and village in our area. But they didn’t stop at the Illinois Valley borders. We have submissions for veterans from around the country, but who have ties to the Illinois Valley.

Sometimes I would receive a call from a veteran who would tell me a story from his time served.

Each time I would hear their stories I could only wonder, did they ever tell their family that? My grandfather served in the Navy from 1950-54. He died when I was 11 years old. I can’t remember him talking about his time overseas but maybe he told my older cousins.

Slowly, our deadline for submissions began to loom. I thought surely we would receive a final push before Oct. 11. And was I ever right. I received a list of 208 names with photos and a list of 46 names without photos. The list of names without photos was comprised mostly of veterans who served during the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. I don’t know if the person who sent the list is related to all of them or not, but I was touched regardless.

At last, the deadline passed, and the true work began. Meticulously we separated the names to fit the pages, made sure the veterans’ photos matched up, and placed all 35 pages. The effort was not without some setbacks, but finally the section was completed.

We have more than 900 names listed in this year’s issue. I was truly honored by the opportunity to put together this section paying tribute to those who protect our rights and freedoms, and I was humbled by the number of veterans who were submitted. At this moment, I wish to say thank you to all those who currently serve and those who have served.

Your sacrifices make our lives possible. So please make sure you look through the section on Saturday ... and on Monday, if you see a member of the U.S. Armed Forces, make sure you thank them for their service.

If you could change one thing about your town, what would it be: I would try to do more to promote small businesses in the downtown district.

What lies within ... a vehicle inspection story I took inventory the other day — inventory of what is stashed in my car, that is. I drive a van — I know, not a very exciting vehicle, but there were requirements for a vehicle when we were looking to purchase.

First, there had to be space enough for our grandchildren, and also, there had to be space for our golf clubs.

Well, the van fit the bill, and as I looked around the van recently, I realized the vehicle has not only become a means to get me from place to place, it has become a storage facility for a wide variety of stuff.

I took stock of that stuff the other day, and it was amazing, surprising and well, embarrassing.

I started my inventory with the driver’s side front door—as this is the door I look at on pretty much a daily basis. In the door itself there was the following: A pair of gloves to use when I pump gas so I don’t smell like a gas tank for the rest of the day; a partially drank bottle of water; and 20-30 miscellaneous scraps of paper ... you know what I mean — the receipt you get when you pump that gas, the receipt from the drive-up window your favorite fast-food restaurant provides you when you pay for your $1 menu items with a debit card, and the little plastic container that sinus/allergy pills come in if you are like me, a sufferer of sinus/allergy headaches and stuffiness.

Having finished that door, I moved on to the passenger side door — might as well finish those before moving on to other spots. The passenger side door was similar to the other — a partially drank bottle of water and miscellaneous bits of paper, many of which were of the same variety. If my husband is driving and he gets a receipt, gas or food, he passes it along to me, and I stash them in the door. I also found a scorecard from the golf course (not sure why I was saving that), and I

Nita Wyatt COMMENTARY also found a small umbrella. That umbrella must be my last source of protection because I know for a fact that there are two large umbrellas in the back section of my van.

OK, the doors are done. The glove compartment looms. I found the usual standard items in there — vehicle manuals and insurance cards (both current and expired) and vehicle registration cards (both current and expired). I also uncovered at least six emery boards, all of which had some political candidate’s name on one side. I only need a few more to have one for every finger. I asked myself, “Why?” but no answer was readily available.

I approached the center console with trepidation. I haven’t looked inside there for several months.

Before opening the console, in the top were two pairs of sunglasses in cases, an empty soda can and a travel coffee mug. Obviously, having something to drink is a priority when we are in the car. So, I open up the compartment. Waiting inside was a Tom-Tom GPS, binoculars, a tube of hand lotion, clean paper napkins, two car phone chargers, and a bag of star mints. Oh, I forgot, another pair of gloves in case the first pair in the door gets misplaced. Smelling like gasoline is evidentially a phobia of mine.

On to the backseat — between the front and back seat there are two folded “bag” chairs — you know the kind. We actually need those for our grandsons’ soccer and flag football games. There is also a blanket for use at those same activities. If you have never been to soccer at Zearing Park,

you might not think a blanket is a necessity, but if you think you will be warm enough to sit at Zearing, forget it — add another sweatshirt and bring a blanket. It is always colder at Zearing than you think it will be. Along the same lines, there was a pullover windshirt belonging to my husband; he has learned about the cold wind at Zearing. Also in this area an infant car seat was installed and in the pocket on the back of the front seat was a phone book and a ring box. Ring box? Where did that come from?

Is there more? Yes, there is a whole back section of the van. By this time, I have decided that I either need a smaller vehicle or better organizational skills or both. The backend of my van holds the important things for spring, summer and fall — two sets of golf clubs! Now and then, when I am feeling energetic, I walk and use a pullcart to play golf, so the pullcart (folded) is also back there. There is also plenty of other stuff related to golfing — three pairs of shoes and sandals, socks, golf balls, tees, sun visors, you get the idea.

Doing my part for the environment, I also carry six or seven reusable shopping bags. Thank you, Nita, for being environmentally aware. I also find the other two umbrellas (the large golfing kind) that I was sure were in the van.

I made it to the back door! I survived the inventory of the stuff in my van. I think, with colder weather approaching, I need to not just take inventory, but I need to take a garbage can and a vacuum and go to work cleaning out the van. All the water bottles, soda cans and papers will go. Underneath all of my belongings, I hope to find the carpeting and the actual seats of my van! Good luck and happy cleaning to me!

TO Letter THE Editor

‘Brazen attempt to take over ...’

To the Editor, Goldie Currie’s interview with Dan Eiten of the health department in the Oct. 26 edition of the BCR was more pablum from the left about the so-called Affordable Care Act or

“ObamaCare.” We now know that it is in fact UNaffordable and has more to do with another huge step by the liberals to separate us from our liberty and freedom. And now we know the president lied to the American public about this travesty being visited upon our country. He said dozens of times that

Americans could keep their insurance plans and doctors, but for millions, the exact opposite is coming true. In fact, now he is lying about the lies he has already told.

Nice try, Mr. Eiten, but your liberal talking points ring hollow with more and more people who are finding out about this horrible

law. Fellow citizens, get informed and stand against this brazen attempt to take over the health insurance and medical industries in this country. This must not stand if we are to continue to enjoy and cherish our American way of life.

Princeton church hosts Groves in concert Sullivan’s pet contest to

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Awardwinning Christian artist and songwriter Sara Groves is coming to Princeton for a Harvest Festival concert hosted by the Evangelical Covenant Church in Princeton.

Evangelical Covenant Church Rev. Derek Boggs said the live concert will begin at 7 p.m. Nov. 17.

The concert is open and free to the community.

Seats are limited, so the church is asking people to call the church office at 815-875-2124 to reserve seats.

The Evangelical Covenant Church, located at 24 N. Main St., has had an annual harvest festival for many years as a way to give thanks for God’s blessings in all of life and to share those blessings with each other, Boggs said. This year, Groves will be the church’s guest

Sara Groves will perform at the Evangelical Covenant Church’s harvest festival in Princeton of honor.

“Sara is a gifted singer, songwriter and musician,” Boggs said. “The themes of her music are simple, yet profound, as she explores the ways in

which God meets people in the midst of daily life with its challenges and joys: Parenting, marriage, love and loss.”

Boggs said Groves has won three Dove

music awards, the CCM’s (Contemporary Christian Music) Artist of the Year Award in 2012, and was also included in Christianity Today’s magazine as one of the women to watch in 2012. Groves has also become a spokesperson about the problem of international human trafficking and slavery.

“Many of Sara’s fans have found in her music help in their search for identity, hope in times of suffering, and healing from past wounds,” Boggs said. “The Covenant Church is honored that Sara is willing to come to Princeton.”

Again, the concert is free and open to the public, however, since seating is limited, people are asked to reserve a free seat by calling the church office at 815-8752124. Doors open at 6:45 p.m.

Lady Cavs living in the moment

By Ty Reynolds

Princeton 3A Sectional

Shaw Media Service

PRINCETON — In a game where momentum is king, the Sterling Golden Warriors found themselves on the wrong side of it for far too long Tuesday night.

After a nip-and-tuck start, the LaSalle-Peru Cavaliers seized control late in the first set, then didn’t give it back until late in the second in a 25-20, 25-16 victory over the Warriors in the semifinals of the Class 3A Princeton Sectional at Prouty Gym. “We’ve had a few motivational talks this season, and we use those to push through and keep fighting back,” LaSallePeru senior setter Katie Olson said. “Our motto is ‘Our time is now,’ and we don’t want to look back at what’s already happened in a match, or ahead to what might happen. Living in the moment was big for us again tonight.”

L-P (32-3) will face Sycamore in Thursday’s sectional final, a rematch from earlier in the year when the Cavs beat the Spartans the night after a tough Sycamore loss to Rock Island.

Early on, freshman Kaylee Martin was doing everything in her power to carry the Warriors (298). Her kill tied the score at 3, then her ace gave Sterling a 6-4 lead in the opening set.

Cierra Johnson capped a LaSalle-Peru run with a kill to give the Cavs (32-3) a 14-11 lead and force a Sterling timeout. But the Warriors came roaring out of the break, as Martin ripped back-to-back kills and Jamy Trancoso reeled off four straight service points to give Sterling a 16-14 lead and force a

Sycamore treads on Dunlap

By Ty Reynolds Shaw Media Service

PRINCETON — Once the Sycamore volleyball team got momentum rolling its way, there was nothing Dunlap could do about it Tuesday night at Prouty Gym. Back-to-back tip-kills from Shaeley McCoy kickstarted an early spurt in the first game, and the Spartans never looked back in a 25-17, 25-16 victory in the semifinals of the Class 3A Princeton Sectional.

The Spartans (17-17) advance to the sectional final against LaSalle-Peru at 7 p.m. Thursday.

“We came out with the mindset that we wanted to be more aggressive,” junior setter Kendra Larson said, “and I really feel like we came out and did that.”

Larson, who had 21 assists, also served an ace and had five of her six service points in the Game 1 run that saw a one-point lead turn into a 13-6 margin. Dunlap (13-19) never got closer than two the rest of the game, only cutting the deficit to 16-14 on Sarah McMillan’s ace.

But a service error went for a sideout for Sycamore

Playoff homecoming at Hall

Class 2A Playoffs

khieronymus@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — Seven years. That’s how long it has been since Richard Nesti Stadium has played host to an IHSA playoff game.

With a long, storied playoff tradition dating back to the 1980s, one can expect to find the house to be rocking when the Kings of Rock and Roll return home for some November football.

“It feels nice. Even going to feel better to play in front of our home fans and go back home,” Hall senior linebacker Nathan Tonozzi, who led the Red Devil defense with 14 tackles in Saturday’s 20-7 win at Bismarck-Henning.

“We’ve got to come out and give them a show. Just to be able to play at home in the second round is crazy,” said senior defensive back Colin Aimone, who scored a touchdown both receiving and by interception Saturday.

“It’s good to bring a home playoff game back to Hall. We’ll get a

The Red Devils faced some speed bumps along the way to get here. They started out 2-3 before winning their final four games of the regular season to build momentum into the playoffs.

“We were all looking at (the playoffs),” Aimone said. “I know a few kids may have got down when we lost a few games. Somewhere deep down, I think we all knew we were going to pull something together. We’re just trying to go as far as we can. We’re not satisfied.

Sergeant won the race of life I first wrote about Jessica (Wallace) Sergeant in 2009. She was one of the most inspirational athletes I’ve ever written about in all my years of sports writing.

In 2007, Sergeant was diagnosed with bone cancer in her jaw and doctors took a bone from her fibula to reconstruct her jaw.

She also had a malignant melanoma on her face and then had half of her lower left lung removed when cancer was found there.

She was diagnosed with Li-

Sergeant, then 28, overcame all of her adversities to successfully run as a member of Sauk Valley Community College’s national qualifying team in 2009.

On Nov. 1, the cancer took its final toll on Sergeant, who passed away at the age of 32.

She won the race of life for always having a positive outlook on life, determined not to let the cancer which riddled her body to lead her from having a normal life.

Sergeant said if her life was summed up in three words it would be, “totally worth it.”

Puffballs anyone?

I really enjoy it when former students stop by and chat about the outdoors or show me a fish they caught or a buck they harvested. Last week, I had a visit from a former student, Jeremy Sissel, who stopped by to show me something of interest.

He asked me if I knew anything about puffballs. I told him that I had read about them and had picked some in the fall before. I had even tried them on the dinner table one time and had enjoyed them. After we had chatted for a few minutes, he said, “Let’s go out to my car, and I’ll show you a couple.”

He opened up the trunk, and I was shocked. I had never seen puffballs that large. I had picked puffballs the size of a 12- or 16-inch softball before, but nothing as large as these. I was amazed. They looked like two white pumpkins. He said he left a bigger one in the woods.

Thanks, Jeremy, for taking the time to show those prize puffballs. Now we’re looking for a couple of good recipes.

• The Illinois duck season has been going on now for a few weeks, and there has been moderate success. This week has seen a decline in locals, but we are ready for some flight ducks.

I was accompanied by my friend, Rory Fundell, who went along to help me with the boat on the pullover and also with the decoys. When we got the decoys out, we sat in the blind, watching and calling a few feathered visitors. I only got one chance to shoot and managed to bring down one duck. For the next 45 minutes, there was no action. Rory and I were sitting on the bench, bored and not paying much attention.

All of the sudden, a mallard drake swooped over my left shoulder and lit in the decoys, not more than 15 yards from the blind. I reached over and picked up my shotgun and got ready to stand up.

When I stood up, the drake saw me and took off vertically. When I shot, I hit the left side of the bird, and it turned him 180 degrees in the air. He immediately started flying directly at us in the blind. I couldn’t shoot again because he was too close. The drake rose 3 feet, 4 feet, 5 feet, attempting to

We want to keep going.”

Like Hall, Momence pulled off an upset victory on the road Saturday, defeating Sangamon Valley Conference rival Clifton Central 13-6. It was an especially sweet win for the Redskins defeating a Comets team that just a week before shut them out 21-0 and a year ago knocked them out of the first round of the playoffs 26-0.

Momence coach Matt Fox gives all the credit to his kids for last week’s turnaround against Clifton Central.

“They kept their heads up and believed in each other all week leading up to our rematch. On Saturday, they competed every play and gave great effort,” he said.

Fox said his team has progressively improved each week and will need to continue to win at Hall.

“We are going to need that same effort and intensity this week if we want to have a chance against a very good Spring Valley Hall team,” he said. “They look to have very good athletes along with good size in the box.

I also know that playing at their place is going to pose a huge challenge for our team. We are looking forward to the opportunity and are excited about this match-up.”

Momence has a balanced offense, led by quarterback Aaron Cantwell, who has thrown for more than 2,000 yards, and running back LeAnthony Reasnove, who has rushed for over 1,200 yards this season. The Redskins offensive line is much experienced with four seniors.

From Page 11 LaSalle-Peru timeout.

But that break seemed to be the turning point. Taylor Gibson served three straight points for an 18-16 Cavalier lead, then Ellie Senica’s kill answered a Martin spike to force another Sterling timeout.

The teams traded hitting errors, then Johnson ripped another kill. Kiarra Harris and Taylor Hendrix fought back with kills for the Warriors, but Gibson’s kill finished off the opening set.

The Cavs carried the momentum into the second set. Olson served the first five points, and LaSalle-Peru led 9-3 before Sterling was forced to use a timeout. Olson’s second perfectlytimed and placed tip-kill pushed the margin to 12-4, and the Cavs led 17-7 after Gibson’s ace.

A Harris kill got Sterling to within 18-13, but another service error opened the door for the Cavs. Kills

by Puetz, Senica and Gibson restored order for LP, and Gibson’s final kill answered Martin’s last spike before Olson served out the match.

“They’re an aggressive team, and they throw a lot at you and force you to adjust,” Sterling coach Dale Dykeman said. “They’ve got so many weapons, and Olson gets the ball out of her hands so quickly that it puts a lot of pressure on your defense. Their middles really hurt us tonight, and it’s tough to recover when you get behind against a team like that.”

From Page 11 (20-20), and Jenee Carlson recorded a kill on a free ball before Gabrielle Wenger bracketed a Dunlap kill with a pair of spikes of her own. She then served two straight points, the second on another McCoy kill, and kills by McCoy and Abby Bartels closed out the game.

“We had heard that Dunlap was a very scrappy team, and we went to the ‘a dig or dive’ philosophy to try and outscrap them,” Sycamore coach Eric Nore said. “They were definitely getting some digs on spikes that are usually down, but I thought we got a

Sterling’s Kiarra Harris hits the ball over LaSalle-Peru’s Rachel Hunt Tuesday night.

Olson set 21 assists, served eight points, and added three digs to her two nasty tip-kills. Johnson had seven kills, Senica spiked six, and Gibson finished with five kills and eight digs.

Puetz chipped in 10 digs and six points, and Rachel Hunt added three kills and a block.

“It’s a great feeling when I can put up a set and know whoever is there is going to put it down,” Olson said.

“Everyone did their share tonight, and our defense dug up everything.” little bit of an edge using their mantra for our defense.”

Shannon Maher’s back-row kill started an early surge in the second game, and Wenger followed that with an ace and another point for a 5-2 lead. Mallory Wolf had two kills around a service error, then Matelyn Hayes ripped one of her team-high seven kills for an 8-4 lead.

Dunlap got to within 8-7 and 10-9, but that’s when freshman Cassie Hunt substituted in at the service line. Her ace made it 12-9, then she reeled off six more points – including three more aces – to all but put the game away at 18-9. Hayes had two kills in that run, and Larson added a stuff block.

Johnson dominates AAA Texas 500 Credits test sessions two weeks prior to race for team’s success To hear Jimmie Johnson and his crew chief Chad Knaus tell it, the start of their dominating run in the AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday can be traced to a test session at the track two weeks prior to the race weekend.

“After two days, we really honed in on the balance of the car and comfort of the car,” Johnson said in his winner’s interview after leading the most laps, winning the race and moving seven points ahead of Matt Kenseth with just two races left to run. “We felt really strong about things, but at the same time, we’re here testing, as all of our competitors were as well. So it was tough to leave here overly excited, because your competition is here getting better and getting data and all of that as well.

“So we came back and just kept our blinders on and focused on our team, our race car and got the thing pretty dang awesome.”

Knaus pointed out that Kenseth, who entered Texas tied with Johnson atop the points standings but finished fourth in the

race, didn’t have such a good Texas test. He crashed his No. 20 Toyota after blowing a tire during the session.

“I know if I was (Kenseth’s team), and I came here and on my last day of testing I blew a right-front tire, I’d be nervous coming back to a race track,” Knaus said. “So that had to have been looming over them.”

Knaus said he believes his No. 48 team also came out ahead in a test session last week at Homestead-Miami Speedway, in which teams prepared for the seasonending Ford 400.

“Quite honestly, based on what I saw at Homestead, they’re probably pretty nervous about that same thing happening there,” he said.

Knaus said there were several things learned at the Texas test, which was rained out and then rescheduled, that helped his team score its first victory on a 1.5-mile track this year.

“I think it was very beneficial for us,” he said. “We were able to really kind of break down what the race car was doing. Jimmie was

“I think it paid huge dividends for us from a lot of different levels, and it was good.”

Kenseth shouldered much of the blame for his team’s inability to come up with a winning setup at Texas, which historically has been one of his best tracks.

“We’re just a little off,” he said. “I just couldn’t help (the crew) enough to give Johnson said that testing them the information balance of the No. 48. they needed to get in and tested, worked the car what I needed hard through all the to run a little bit betpractice sessions, threw ter. a lot of stuff at it and “It’s all on me. We just never had it quite just worked hard that first (Texas) race, came good enough.”

at Texas two weeks earlier helped the team with the But Kenseth said Johnson’s points lead can be overcome.

“It’s not insurmountable,” he said. “It’s still in your hands. The

math works out if you win the last two races.

“If we go out there and can outrun everybody for two weeks, then it’s ours.”

Flour House ... part of a dream Zearings to open Princeton bakery

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Terri Zearing and her daughter, Sallee, will open in Princeton The Flour House Bakery by the end of November.

“It has been a dream of mine for years to open a bakery,” said Terri. “I have loved baking since I was 8 years old. I had six brothers and would bake every day after school.

They would eat it up. My mom was so patient with me baking in her kitchen, while she was preparing for 11 people.”

Sallee Zearing said she was very interested in helping her mother when she came back to the area after graduating from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts earlier this year.

“We are equal partners in this business,” added Terri. “It will be a bakery and full coffee shop. The focus will be on baking everything homemade, fresh from scratch.”

Sallee plans on making fresh bagels every day, homemade cinnamon rolls, scones, muffins and biscotti.

The unique name of the Zearings’ business was chosen after Sallee

told her mother she had a dream where she was in a bakery with the name of Flour House.

“We settled on that idea after throwing around many names,” added Terri. “We felt this would be good name for Princeton and beyond.”

Terri said she has wanted to open a bakery for 8 to 10 years, after her children were out of college.

“This has always been my dream job to own a bakery,” she said. “I love coffee and coffee shops.

We plan on offering endless cups of coffee here, so people can come and sit for several hours talking with their friends.”

In addition to breakfast items, Flour House Bakery will also be selling cookies, brownies and other items in the afternoon served with ice cold milk.

“We will have free wi-fi, so kids can come here after school to have a snack and do their homework,” added Terri.

Flour House Bakery’s hours will be from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The business will be closed on Tuesdays.

Whether we are providing emergency food to households in need, ensuring kindergarten through eighth-grade students have school supplies, or providing winter coats, hats and gloves to youth in our community, the Bureau County Food pantry is there.

We serve 10 communities within Bureau County — Dover, Kasbeer, Malden, Manlius, New Bedford, Ohio, Princeton, Tampico, Tiskilwa and Van Orin.

During the past year, the food pantry provided food for 1,348 households (or 3,474 individuals); 43 bags of school supplies were distributed to 21

families; and more than 200 coats were distributed to children in need.

The Bureau County Food Pantry is able to continue its work as a result of food and financial donations from churches, community groups, schools, local business and individuals throughout the communities, as well as the Bureau County United Way. We could not continue our work without their support!

Call the Bureau County United Way at 815-8720821 for information on how you can lend a helping hand to those in need in Bureau County.

Q: A:

I have been told that Obamacare is replacing Medicare and I will have to buy different insurance.

Is this true?

The short answer Mont Cessna is no and no. The Affordable Care Act does not replace Medicare and require seniors to purchase more or different insurance. During the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP), which runs from October 15-Dec 7, seniors have the option to change their Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) and/or move to a Medicare Advantage Plan.
