Minor injuries after plane crash

By Vinde Wells Editor A Texas man trying to deliver a newly repaired single-engine airplane to Janesville, Wis., suffered only minor injuries when the 1984 Cessna crashed Jan. 25 in a farm field east of Forreston.

Pilot Fred H. Rose, 75, Spring Branch, Texas, was transported by Forreston ambulance to FHN Memorial Hospital, Freeport, for treatment of minor injuries. “He had a bump on the head,� said Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn.

Rose flew out of Texas around 6 a.m. that morning

bound for Janesville, Harn said.

The plane, which is registered to Gelbach Aviation, Janesville, had a new engine installed in Texas, the sheriff said.

Rose refueled in Joplin, Mo., around 10:45 a.m. and told authorities that the engine locked up south of Forreston.

“He was gliding around looking for a place to land,�

Harn said. “He thought it was a mechanical failure.�

Rose was able to put the plane down in the snow in a field along Ill. 72 just west of Cherry Road, four miles east of Forreston. The crash occurred around 2:15 p.m.

Deputies on the scene said an undetermined fluid was leaking from the plane.

The Forreston Fire Department assisted at the scene.

Harn said Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the crash.

Sheriff Michael Harn estimated that 70 vehicles were left behind when their occupants got stuck on drifting roads in white-out conditions Sunday evening into Monday morning. “A lot of cars were abandoned on the road,�

Harn said. “They [drivers] couldn’t tell where they were and they were able to get a ride and left the car behind.

The north-south roads were the worst — the wind was straight out of the west.�

Deputies closed Ill. 26 at Montague Road north of Forreston periodically for at least four hours Monday while tow trucks pulled 17 cars out of deep drifts, Harn said.

Demand for propane is high

By Vinde Wells Editor A propane supply emergency was declared Monday in the state of Illinois.

According to a press release, Gov. Pat Quinn declared the emergency in the wake of distribution problems around the state.

Damp fall weather and recent cold temperatures are being

blamed.

With demand for propane surging, its price is skyrocketing — and less of it is available for local customers.

In recent days, the pergallon price for propane has nearly doubled to more than $3.60 in Ogle County and the surrounding area.

With cold temperatures continuing, experts expect the trend to continue.

In This Week’s Edition...

Mike Faivre, president of Burkardt’s LP Gas, Polo, said last week that his company usually gets its propane from pipelines in Tampico and Rockford, but now companies are allocated only so much because of limited supplies.

During the winter, he said, his company typically gets three to five semi-truck loads a day. Now, its lucky to just get one.

Members of the Village of Progress All Stars and Ogle County All Stars soaked in the energy Jan. 24 when the two teams met on the court.

The Oregon High School students and faculty welcomed the two teams to their school for the annual basketball game.

Both teams went back and forth in the scoring with students cheering every play.

When a player missed a shot, their opponents would sometimes hand them the ball so they could try the shot again.

The game offered a chance to showcase both teams’ skills in front of an audience that was supportive and cheering them for all participants. “This is my favorite day of the year,� said OHS principal Andrew Nelson. “I absolutely love this day because everyone is supportive.�

Nelson said the game has been played for four years and is a highlight of the

Propane is being rationed to ensure adequate supply From A1 “We’re short-filling people, limiting the amount of gallons they get,” Faivre said, adding, “Our customers are being taken care of.”

How much they get, he said, depends on their usage, but the rule of thumb is that the company gives enough to get a customer by for a month.

Because the company is giving limited amounts to customers, it’s making twice as many deliveries, he said.

“We’ve been working 14 to 15 hours a day for the last month, six days a week.

That’s what we’ve had

to do to keep up with the cold weather,” Faivre said.

“We’ve been in business for 32 years, and it’s never been like this.”

All of Burkardt’s customers have their prices locked in because of prewinter agreements, so the price spike won’t affect them, Faivre said.

Ray Woessner, general manager at Carroll Service Company, Lanark, said Monday that the problem was accelerated last fall when more propane than usual was used to dry the corn crop, coupled with more being used for residential

and commercial heating due to colder than normal temperatures in October, November, and December.

“This didn’t start in January,” he said. “I anticipate we will continue to have these problems as long

as the cold weather persists.”

Carroll Service Company, which serves numerous customers in western Ogle County, has been unable to get enough propane from its usual suppliers in Tampico and Rockford.

“We’ve been unable to get an adequate supply locally,” Woessner said. “We’ve had to resort to transporting it from Kansas and Louisiana.”

So far, the firm hasn’t had to short-fill customers.

“We’ve been able to supply our customers,” he said.

Many Carroll Service Company customers won’t feel the cost-pinch immediately because they signed contracts which locked in prices months ago.

“We’re honoring those contracts,” Woessner said.

Now that the state emergency declaration has been made, regulations on

propane truck drivers will be eased so they can travel more easily to other states to fill their tanks.

The state has eased limits on how long the drivers can work within a 24-hour period, allowing them to drive farther to pick up the fuel.

According to the Energy Department, around 5.5 million U.S. households, mostly in the Midwest and South, use propane to heat their homes.

Did you know that most heart attacks could be prevented with early diagnosis of risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD)? For American Heart Month in February, FHN is offering very special pricing on two tests that can give you a good look at your heart health if you have no known coronary artery disease.

$99 Calcium Scoring CT Heart Scan FHN’s Calcium Scoring CT Heart Scan uses 64-slice CT scanner technology to detect calcified plaque in arteries, an indication of potential heart issues. This non-invasive x-ray takes only a few minutes and does not require any physical activity.

$99 Standard Walking Treadmill Stress Test During exercise, healthy coronary arteries deliver more blood to heart muscle than blocked arteries. This test helps to determine artery condition and may be right for you if you have risk factors for heart disease. Risk factors may include high cholesterol, existing or borderline high blood pressure, a history of smoking, diabetes, or family history of heart disease. You must be able to walk for this test.

These tests are intended for individuals who have no prior heart issues, including chest pain or unusual shortness of breath. Appointments must be scheduled by Friday, February 28 to obtain the special $99 price, and tests must be performed by August 29, 2014.

For more information or to schedule an appointment today, call 1-877-6000-FHN (1-877-600-0346) ext. 944 or visit www.fhn.org. See what’s happening with your heart health!

Landrys celebrate 65th anniversary Pastor Gordon and Barbara Landry celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary on Tuesday, Jan. 28.

They were married on that date in 1949 by Pastor James Mattison at the East Oregon Chapel Church of God. Barbara is the daughter of Dan and Louise Kump, both now deceased.

The Landrys were blessed with eight children: Ricky Lee, now living in Long Beach, Calif.; Daniel Gordon, now in Greenwell Springs, La., near Baton Rouge; Jonathan David, living in a suburb of Houston, Texas; Joel Alexander, living at home with the Landrys;

Jared Scott, deceased at four months of age; Gretchen Gayle (Gigi) Wight, now in Pecatonica; Jennifer Louise Foster, now living near Rochelle; and Barry Keith, living just outside Baton Rouge, La. The Landrys also have 19 grandchildren scattered around the United States, and 19 great-grandchildren, with number 20 on the way next month.

While attending Oregon Bible College, Gordon pastored the East Oregon Chapel Church of God in the late ‘40s, where he met and fell in love with Barbara Kump, a member of the

church.

They married just before he graduated from the college.

Following his graduation from Oregon Bible College, he and his new bride accepted the pastorate at Ripley.

Toward the end of their first year there, they resolved to go into missionary work in South Africa, and resigned from the Ripley Church.

Prospects for the mission field did not work out and, since the Ripley Church had already hired a new pastor, the Landrys moved to Douglas, Ariz., to try and open a mission field across the border in Mexico.

Two or three years later,

they received an invitation to pastor the Blood River Church of God near Springfield, La., and did so for four years.

Then they moved to the Church of God pastorate in Baton Rouge, and stayed there for 17 years.

Following that pastorate, they moved back here to Oregon, where, in 1974, they accepted the pastorate at the Flagg Center Church of God near Rochelle, where they worked until his retirement at age 70.

A year or so later, he returned to the ministry in Flagg Center, and is now in the process of retiring again.

Crime rates have decreased in Oregon since 2011 Police chief presents his annual report

By Vinde Wells Editor Despite its first homicide in decades last year, Oregon has become a safer place to live and visit over the last three years, according to a report released Jan. 14.

In his annual report presented to the city council Jan. 14, Police Chief Darin DeHaan showed that crime has decreased in most categories since 2011.

“We maintain a commitment to keeping the crime rate in Oregon low and maintaining the high quality of living we have all come to expect in Oregon,” DeHaan said in the report’s cover letter.

The city’s 2013 homicide occurred Aug. 11 when Jonathan Williams, 18, died at OSF St. Anthony Medical Center, Rockford, after being injured in a fight that occurred in the wee hours of Aug. 10 at an underage drinking party at a home on Monroe Street.

Ogle County State’s Attorney Mike Rock has said no one will be charged in Williams’ death because the person who struck him did so in self-defense.

The annual report shows that the sharpest decrease in crime — 78.9 percent from 2011 to 2013 — was in the number of burglaries.

The report shows only four last year compared to 18 in 2012 and 19 in 2011.

Theft less than $300 also showed a significant decrease: 38 in 2013, down from 55 in 2012 and 53 in 2011.

Only 11 thefts more than

$300 occurred in 2013, with 17 in 2012 and 19 in 2011.

DeHaan said the reason for the decrease may be that citizens are being more careful to lock their cars and homes.

“I’m hoping burglaries and thefts are down because people are doing a better job securing their property,” he said.

Batteries and assaults showed the only increases over the three-year span.

Aggravated assaults doubled in that time, but the numbers are low. Only two occurred in 2013, with none in 2012 and one in 2011.

Aggravated battery also showed a sharp percentage increase, but again the numbers are low. Three occurred in 2013 with one in 2012 and two in 2011.

Domestic battery showed a significant increase with 23 last year, compared to 14 in

Ten OHS band students part of honor band Ten band students from Oregon High School were selected to participate in the 42nd annual Augustana College Honor Band Festival on Jan. 19 and 20.

Ben Baldwin, Everett Estrada, Zach Hall, Sarah Harris, Trevor Nelson, Kelsey Pudlas, Paul Reckamp, Noah Russell, Genevieve Sweeney, and Sarah Zuniga were nominated by band director Andy Eckardt to attend.

They joined high school band students from 33 high schools in Illinois and Iowa for two days of rehearsals, culminating with a concert at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 20.

Students were under the direction of Dr. James M. Lambrecht, Augustana director of bands and guest conductor Donald Shupe, recently retired director of bands at Libertyville High School.

The participating students stayed overnight in the dorms. “It was a very educational and enjoyable weekend

which also gave us a glimpse of college life,� said Harris, a junior at Oregon High School.

On that same day, 15 band and choir students from OHS traveled to Burlington Central High School for the annual Big Northern Conference Music Festival.

Participating band students were: Ryan Bennett, Will Coots, Emily Feiden, Kelci Foss, Kelsey Handschuh, Ally Newton, Ian Starkey, and Ben Taylor.

Choir students who attended were Shannon Cullen, Ashley Denton, Jacob Ebens, Gabby Kwak, Billy Paul, Carly Stephens, and Derek Stienmetz.

Students practiced for the afternoon and performed a concert that evening.

The band was under the direction of Dr. Glen Hayes from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, and the choir was led by local clinician, Jennifer Whiting.

The OHS band’s next public performance will be at the 20th annual Band Extravaganza on Thursday,

Public Voice Open Letter to the Community from Meridian CUSD 223 Dear Editor, A petition has been submitted to the Meridian District Office in apparent conformity with statute having 200 signatures over the requisite amount halting the immediate sale of Working

Cash bonds.

This news will bring about mixed emotions for our community. Starting today, however, we must begin to re-group as a community and the Meridian School District must serve as a leader of the process.

We have become a divided community that needs to remember what gives us our strength.

What makes Stillman Valley and the surrounding areas a great place to live and

raise children is the fact that through difficult times and during great times we can stand united and support each other.

Right now is a trying time for our community and a time where we need to stand united in the things we all want and believe.

Everyone wants an outstanding community.

Everyone wants a great school system. Everyone wants to have their voice heard.

We are united in these

desires and we will work together to find a way to realize our mutual hopes of living in a great community with a first-class school system.

Moving forward, I encourage each of us – from school officials, to community leaders, to business owners - to begin today by focusing on how we can work to bring the community back together instead of focusing on the differences among us exposed throughout the last nine

months.

The energy and enthusiasm from both advocates for the increase of school funding and those against it has been powerful, but has also led to a divide within communities that does not need to exist.

As a school district moving forward we will work hard to communicate clearly and effectively the state of the schools and use energy to unite our community.

We ask in turn that our community continue to be

vocal, passionate, and work to be clearly informed so that we may chart the course to help guide our schools in the coming years together.

We look forward to the challenge of working with you to help find solutions that we can give our children the first class education they deserve.

Sincerely, Dr. Robert Willis Superintendent P.J. Caposey Asst. Superintendent & High School Principal

Lady Hawks fall to Byron in conference battle

By Dan Woessner Sauk Valley Media Samantha Lambrigtsen and the Oregon defense knew where to find Ellie Lehne during a key conference match up on Jan. 23.

The tall junior forward from Byron likes to start at the top of the key before working toward the basket.

The Hawks also knew where to find sharpshooters like Mayson Whipple and Nicole Silvers. But it was Keelyn Swanson the Hawks didn’t account and it cost them.

Swanson scored all seven her points in the fourth quarter, as the Tigers pulled away from the Hawks for a 55-44 Big Northern West win in Byron.

“We have to go straight up on defense with Lehne because we don’t have the height,” Lambrigtsen said.

“That’s all we can really do to her. We also try to drive at her to get her into foul trouble. We did that tonight, but it was some of the girls that we didn’t expect to score that hit some big shots.”

Byron (21-3, 6-1) led most of the night after jumping out to a 7-2 lead. The final two points of that run came from Whipple, which put the Byron senior over 1,000 points for her career.

Oregon (15-8, 5-3) fought back and managed to gain three briefs leads. The Hawks led twice during the second quarter, at 17-16 and 19-18.

Their last lead came at 36-35 on a basket by Lambrigtsen to open the fourth quarter.

Byron responded with 3-pointers by Lehne and Whipple to pull ahead by five.

“It seemed like we had some momentum,” Lambrigtsen said. “But every time we’d get ahead, they’d make a couple 3-pointers.”

Oregon fought back, pulling within three points at 43-40 after a three-point play

by Lambrigtsen.

That’s when the Swanson show started. She hustled to the basket for a rebound on the next possession and made the putback while being fouled. She missed the free throw.

Oregon’s Kimmie Janke

made a nice move and finished her drive with a short jumper on the next possession. Janke and Kelsey Pudlas were a big part the post defense that kept Lehne and freshman Bailey Burrows in check. Byron also held only a 32-30 rebounding advantage.

“It’s all heart for those girls on the boards,” Oregon coach Kristy Eckhardt said.

“We come out most games with the disadvantage under the hoop, but they fight for position and hustle for the ball.”

Janke’s shot proved to be the last field goal for the Hawks.

On the next possession, Whipple found Swanson open in the corner. The junior guard nailed the shot to give Byron the 48-42 lead.

“Keelyn can make those shots,” Byron coach Eric Yerly said. “She doesn’t have to shoot from out there that much, because we have so many other girls that can shoot. She made the big plays when we needed them in the Lady Hawk Emy Wright tries to squeeze through past Byron’s Bailey Burrows and fourth quarter.”

Season over for Hawk bowlers From B1 Ian Starkey (1154) closed out there their varsity careers at Park Lanes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s odd is that those three were first-year starters,â&#x20AC;?

Nordman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t crack the line up until this year.â&#x20AC;?

The final scorer for Oregon was Joe Miranda with a 1131, topped by a 234 in game No. 2. Otherwise, he was in the upper 100s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guys really struggled today,â&#x20AC;? Nordman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any strikes going.â&#x20AC;?

Coming into the sectional, Nordman knew the only way his team would advance is if all bowlers were on top of their games.

Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-time rival Above, coach Al Nordman talks to Joe Miranda before he goes up to bowl Jan. 25. Below, Joe Miranda releases had two individuals qualify for the state meet, which will his ball down the lane. Photos by Chris Johnson be held in Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Fallon, outside of the St. Louis area.

Ryan Dixon and Joel Spangler had 1363 and 1329 to make the cut and teammate Lucas Bonnette was only 19 pins away from joining them.

Ryan Dixon had an inordinate amount of attention focused on him in the afternoon session. In the fourth game, he had a perfect game intact for the first nine frames.

Unfortunately, he left the four pin up on that frame and settled for a 279 after picking up the spare and finishing with a strike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I threw the ball out in the dry area of the lane,â&#x20AC;? said

Dixon on the missed strike.

Even with the disappointment of missing a perfect game, the 279 moved Dixon from what he described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;not even being on the first sheet of leadersâ&#x20AC;? to fourth place overall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From then on, it was a matter of finishing and being consistent,â&#x20AC;? Dixon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just needed to be around 200.â&#x20AC;?

The 2-time state qualifier as a team member made it three straight trips downstate with a 213 and 208 to close out a 1363 series.

Brandon Biondo of Algonquin Jacobs had a 1462 to claim the individual title with freshman phenom Jacob Nimtz of Harlem next at 1455. Dixonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s score was good for fifth place.

While Dixon had a comfortable margin going into the final game, Spangler had to sweat things out, not once, but twice.

He was in 10th place, but only nine pins out of the seventh and final qualifying spot. After nine frames, his position was even more precarious with a 169 showing on his scorecard.

In dramatic fashion, Spangler rolled three straight strikes to punch his ticket downstate by two pins. His 1329 series edged Kyle Pattalio of Belvidere by one pin for sixth. Brady Powell of Barrington missed qualifying by one pin with a 1327. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was in trouble,â&#x20AC;? Spangler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those three strikes

saved me. I was definitely on the bubble.â&#x20AC;?

However, the joy he felt soon turned to uncertainty, as his name wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t called as one of the seven at-large qualifiers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I freaked out,â&#x20AC;? Spangler

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ran over to my coach and told them they had it wrong.â&#x20AC;?

The oversight by the PA announcer was soon rectified and Spangler could finally rest easy.

Lady Hawks to face Sterling, Rock Falls From B1 these games as a motivation,â&#x20AC;?

Eckardt said.

The Lady Hawks travel to Rock Falls on Friday, possibly Sterling on Saturday and host Byron on Tuesday.

The Sterling game was to be at Oregon on Tuesday, but was postponed due to the weather. The only way is could be made up without cancellation is to play it away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This had been a strange

winter with all the weather.

It even affects our practice time,â&#x20AC;? Eckardt said.

The following week the competition lightens up considerably with a regional at home that includes 3-19 Fulton, 11-11 Morrison,

5-14 Newman and 3-17 West Carroll. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We kind of got lucky with the regional pairings,â&#x20AC;?

Eckardt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The teams (such as Byron) we normally play are at Stillman Valley.â&#x20AC;?

Lehne leads Byron in win over Oregon From B1

After an empty possession

by Oregon, Swanson was fouled. She hit both shots to make it a three-possession game at 50-42. Byron went 5-for-6 from the free-throw line the rest of the way to ice

the game.

Lambrigtsen finished with a game-high 24 points, and she also had six rebounds and three steals. Emy Wright added 11 points, but no other Hawk scored more than three points.

Lehne had 18 points, and Whipple had 12. Swanson had nine rebounds to go with her seven points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You always know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a tough game against Oregon,â&#x20AC;? Yerly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sammy [Lambrigtsen] is

such a good player. In this conference, every team has a very good player. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenge to stop them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It comes down to making a couple big shots and making free throws at the end. We did that tonight.â&#x20AC;?

Sophomore Lady Hawks edge Mendota The sophomore Lady Hawks got back in the winning column Jan. 25 with a 43-41 win over Mendota in Big Northern Conference Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Samantha Lambrigtsen looks to put a shot action. up against Byron defenders Elle Lehne and Keelyn Oregon trailed 10-6 in Swanson during conference action Jan. 23.

The young Lady Hawks added 14 points in the third period with Alli Henson leading the way with two

treys and a basket.

With the win, Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record improved to 15-9 Wilson led Oregon with 13 overall and 6-4 in conference. points followed by Henson with 12, Holley with seven, Oregon travels to Rock Sansone with four, Bartling Falls on Friday and Sterling with three, and Emily on Saturday, before finishing Perkins and Abby Newman the regular season against with two each.

Sports Column Passion for sports teams out of control

By Andy Colbert Reporter It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make any difference if it is grade school, high school, college or the pros. Sports have an effect on us and bonding is one result of that.

As humans, there is a need to belong and it is natural to get together in groups. By following a sports team, we become part of that group and share a unified passion.

Besides assembling together in the bleachers and

cheering the team on, we may also join in activities like tailgating, pep rallies, road trips, team banquets, etc.

We even dress to the occasion, whether it is wearing the school colors on game day or that expensive pro jersey.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the problem with all that, though â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that passion can get out of hand.

We become so engrossed with the sport or team we have bonded with that we begin to base our identity on it. The more the team wins, the better our psyche feels.

If the team is a loser, our fragile self-esteem takes a hit.

Another thing that happens is that the more success our team has, the more it affects

us. An example is in postseason play when other teams are knocked out and our team is one of the few left standing.

There is a realization that more people are paying attention to the team and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;prideâ&#x20AC;? factor goes kicks into a higher gear. A win or loss in the sectional or state has so much more significance that it did doing the regular season because oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal identification with the team has been increased.

Though the fan is not a member of the team, there can become a perverted investment in it, which can be compounded if one has a child on said team.

Sure, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural to want the best things for your

kid and have an emotional attachment your team, but it is so easy for those values become distorted.

The manifestation of that can be found on gyms and playing fields all over this country.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yell at the referee because the call did not go our way. Or, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice my displeasure at the coach because of a misguided notion that I know better than him/her.

How about envy so pervasive that we secretly wish others will fail, be it the opposing team or perhaps athletes on your kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team that are having more success than your kid.

Anger can reach such a

boiling point that fights can break out between fans.

Spirit of competition keeps us hostage and snuffs out contentment. Death of contentment is comparison.

Either Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m better or worse than your team or athlete.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what sports can do to us, but sports arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the problem. The problem is within us. We allow these defects of character creep in and manifest themselves in our bleacher behavior.

What about fans that can go to a sporting event and Andy Colbert cheer for the home team and also wish good things for the opposition? Could it be they not because of a personal enjoy sports for the athletic attachment? aspect of it and appreciate Part II to be continued next good play by both sides, weekâ&#x20AC;Ś

IDNR is accepting applications for PARC grants The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is accepting applications for the state’s Park and Recreational Facility Construction (PARC) Grant Program.

The program will provide grants to eligible local governments for acquisition, development, construction, rehabilitation or other capital improvements to

park and recreation facilities in Illinois.

For the current fiscal year (FY) 2014, a total of $25 million in grants is available through funding provided by the Illinois Jobs Now! capital program, an initiative of Governor Pat Quinn.

The maximum grant award for qualifying projects for FY14 is $2.5 million.

The IDNR will accept

applications from qualifying units of local government through March 10.

“Public parks and open space shouldn’t be a luxury. Everyone has the right to enjoy recreation opportunities safely and locally. The investments made through PARC funds are vital to the economies and health of local communities and their residents,” said

IDNR Director Marc Miller.

“I want to thank Governor Quinn for making this longterm investment in local parks and recreation that will pay long-term dividends for Illinois communities,” he said.

The PARC Grant Program can fund bondable, bricks and mortar projects that include demolition, site preparation and improvements for indoor

Hearn to perform at SVCC Feb. 3 Sauk Valley Community College invites the public to attend Emily Hearn’s free concert Monday, Feb. 3 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in the east mall.

Hearn, a singer and songwriter from Griffin, Ga., is the small town, genuine girl that pours her heart and soul into her music.

Within the past several

years, she has released her first album, “Red Balloon,” toured the Southeast and created a music video for her lead single “Rooftop” with a special appearance by comedian Bill

Murray.

For more information on this free performance, contact Ana Salgado, SVCC student activities coordinator, at 815835-6432.

and outdoor recreation facilities, reconstruction, improvements and expansion to existing facilities, and new construction.

Projects involving land acquisition for construction of new or expansion of existing indoor and outdoor recreation facilities, and for open space and conservation purposes, are also eligible.

Illinois previously invested $50 million in PARC grants for park districts and other local government projects in 2011, the first year of the program.

The PARC program will reimburse grant recipients up to 75 percent of approved project costs (up to 90 percent reimbursement will be available to local

governments defined as disadvantaged).

The PARC grant program does not replace the annual Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development grant program (OSLAD). PARC projects must be “bondable” according to state guidelines, while OSLAD projects do not.

For more information, details on program eligibility, and other program regulations, log on to http://www.dnr.illinois. gov/grants or contact the IDNR Division of Grant Administration, One Natural Resources Way, Springfield, IL 62702-1271, phone 217782-7481, or by e-mail grants@Illinois.gov.
