No action officially taken on prioritizing ability to post bail

By JAYCE EUSTICE

jeustice@shawmedia.com The Bureau County Board discussed potential action regarding a statement in favor of repealing Illinois House Bill 3653, otherwise known at the SAFE-T Act. The bill includes a measure that would eliminate cash bail in favor of a pretrial detention method that prioritizes aspects such as the level of danger a suspect Bureau County poses rather than Sheriff Jim Reed their ability to post bail. The exact parameters for pretrial detention will be determined by the courts. That measure takes effect in January 2023.

The original SAFE-T Act also changed use-of-force guidelines for law enforcement, created a new police certification system and expanded detainee rights.

While no action was officially taken

on the subject, the board, along with Bureau County Sheriff James Reed, discussed an official board statement that may come during the April meeting.

“There are some good items in that bill, but mostly it’s the bail reform act and also the limitations that it’s putting on our police officers,” Reed said.

“It also wasn’t really discussed with law enforcement or with the state’s attorneys.”

The board was presented a resolution that was passed in Iroquois County, which calls for the full repeal of the SAFE-T Act. “We don’t need to reinvent the wheel,” Reed said. “There’s a lot of feelings about this House bill. Both of our representatives were opposed to this. A lot of legislative changes were made and they were made to benefit the bigger counties such as Cook and Will Counties.”

Reed said that he believes this bill did not take into consideration some of the problems that small counties, such as Bureau, would have with the bill.

Reed also mentioned that there have been several other counties that have followed suit in opposing the bill, such as a resolution that was passed during the Putnam County Board’s February meeting.

“This would be nonbinding, it’s just a statement saying that we don’t want

our legislators making laws overnight that are going to affect the county,” Reed said. “[This bill] would have a negative impact on us. We don’t play by the same rules that Chicago does.”

Reed said that the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association has been opposed to the bill and it believes the best way to fix it would be to repeal the whole thing.

Reed wanted to remind the board members that police expenses and training costs would all go up under the bill, creating a bigger burden to the County Board.

Board member Dan Rabe said that he wanted the county to draw up a resolution of its own for possible approval at the next meeting.

Board member Mary Jane Marini encouraged the board to research the bill and the resolution that Iroquois County approved in order to make its best decision.

“You’re repealing something that you’re not totally aware of,” Marini said.

“Then vote against it next time,” Rabe said. “We can’t go down line item by line item, we don’t have that authority. I’m with the sheriff, it needs to start over at best.”

Currently the county plans to prepare a resolution that could be approved by the board during the upcoming April meeting.

Gateway Services to celebrate Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month SHAW MEDIA Princeton’s Gateway Services is excited to celebrate Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. The month of March originally was designated by former President Ronald Reagan in 1987.

“I invite all individuals, agencies, and organizations concerned with the problem of developmental disabilities to observe this month with appropriate observances and activities directed toward increasing public awareness of the needs and the potential of Americans with developmental disabilities,” Reagan said at the time. “I urge all Americans to join me in giving our fellow citizens with such disabilities both encouragement and the opportunity they need to lead productive lives and to achieve their full potential.”

Gateway Services stated that the month of March is a chance to raise awareness about inclusion in all aspects of community life and the barriers that people with disabilities sometimes still face.

The theme this year, “Worlds Imagined,” focuses on how the world is changing as we all move through and beyond the pandemic.

“As we all look forward to a ‘new normal,’ we are excited about so many opportunities for people including new jobs, new friends, more family time and more time out and about doing the things they love,” said Gateway Ser-

vices CEO Tracy Wright.

Wright stated that navigating through the pandemic in their field has been a true collective effort by all involved in the organization.

“We would not have weathered this pandemic without the dedication and hard work of all employees,” Wright said. “Administrative staff kept up with business as usual, despite everything changing sometimes daily. The janitorial crew kept our buildings and contract sites clean and thoroughly sanitized. Drivers safely transported riders throughout the community and sanitized buses multiple times each day.”

Wright also thanked those who work directly with those individuals with developmental disabilities on a daily basis.

“Direct support professionals came together and rose to the challenge of providing essential support services for individuals, keeping everyone safe and healthy,” Wright said. “Counselors guided individuals through these uncertain times. Nurses regularly assessed the health of individuals and provided guidance to staff. The management team ensured the needs of all programs were met. Thank you for being there.

You made a difference.”

Gateway Services celebrated its staff recently in appreciation of its efforts, tying it in with their birthday party.

The organization has been providing services to the community for 52 years.

“The management team planned a

day to celebrate DD Awareness Month and Gateway’s birthday, and it was a huge success,” Wright said. “It seemed fitting to give gifts to all employees as a small token of our ongoing appreciation of their hard work and dedication.”

Plans also are underway for the day program sites to celebrate the month

along with the goals and dreams their clients have achieved.

Gateway Services Inc. opened in March 1970 and continues to provide a variety of services in Bureau, Marshall and Putnam Counties. Additional information can be found at gateway-services.org or on their Facebook page.

SHAW MEDIA Illinois Valley Community College will again have a full-time food service starting with the fall semester Aug. 15.

Board members approved a one-year contract with Arbor Management to provide full food service for $2,500 a month. Arbor works with Mendota, Rochelle and Streator highs schools, among others, said Vice President for Business Services Matt Seaton.

Until Arbor opens in the cafeteria and cyber cafe in the fall, IVCC will again schedule food trucks for late spring and summer.

The meeting began with a presentation on student demographics by Vice President for Student Services Mark Grzybowski.

IVCC continues to do a good job recruiting recent high school graduates, Grzybowski said. Last fall 18-year-olds accounted for 23.2% of total enrollment, up 2% from 2018.

“This indicates the positive impact we are making with our traditional high school age students,” Grzybowski said.

IVCC President Jerry Corcoran agreed, “Our outreach to high school students is paying off. Thanks again to the board for supporting a tuition freeze for another year and allowing the administration to continue exploring

Illinois Valley Community College incentive-retention programs with resources from Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund.

“I urge high school students and their parents to take advantage of these opportunities while they can,” Corcoran said.

In other action, the Board placed the Process Operators certificate on inactive status. The program was created to address a perceived need for lab technicians in industry but student demand never materialized.

The Board learned: • Non-tenured faculty renewed for the coming academic year were Christina Boughton and Samantha Whiteaker, nursing; Cathy Lenkaitis, nurs-

ing lab; Jonathan Hubbell, criminal justice; Nancy McDonnell, cybersecurity; Theresa Molln, welding; Emily Morgan, math; Rick Pretzsch, economics; Charles Raimondi, electricity and electronics; and Kaity Ritter, certified medical assistant.

• Early Childhood Education’s accreditation with the National Association for the Education of Young Children has been deactivated. As a “Gateways-Entitled Institution” the program now reports to Gateways.

• Tracy Schwemlein was hired as staff accountant in the Business Office and Angela Partridge as an administrative assistant in Student Services.

• IVCC’s financial aid default rate dropped from 7.9% in 2018 to 2.2% in 2019, Corcoran said. The primary reason for the decrease was the pause in student loan repayments due to COVID19. There is a three-year lag in default reporting.

• The annual employee recognition reception is Friday, April 22, at Grand Bear Resort in Utica. Social hour begins at 4 p.m. with hors d’oeuvres at 4:30 p.m. and awards at 5:30 p.m.

• Automotive technology instructor Art Koudelka won the 2022 Stephen Charry Teaching Excellence award and Human Resources administrative assistant Paula Hallock the Connie Skerston Memorial Award for Support Staff Distinguished Service.

Both will be recognized at the April 22 event • A Feb. 23 Black History Month event featured David “DJ” Lee discussing the influence of hip-hop and rap music on American culture. The Edible Car Contest, that same day, drew a crowd of competing schools and guests.

• Friday’s staff development day included an active shooter presentation by Oglesby police.

• Corcoran and Seaton met recently with Oglesby officials to discuss, among other things, contracting for a full-time Oglesby police officer on campus.

U.S. Army helicopters refuel at Illinois Valley Regional Airport in Peru Photos by Scott Anderson sanderson@shawmedia.com U.S. Army Iowa units made a stop at the Illinois Valley Regional Airport in Peru on Tuesday.

Four Black Hawk helicopters landed at the airport to refuel. The crew is assigned to Company C, 2nd Battalion, 147th Aviation Regiment, Iowa Army National Guard.

The crew did not reveal where they were traveling but said it was a training mission. The helicopters were headed east when they departed the airport.

The Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk is a four-blade, twin-engine, medium-lift utility helicopter manufactured by Sikorsky. The Army uses it for air assault, air cavalry and aeromedical evacuation units. Their speed can top out at 222mph.

Residents reported seeing them flying over the sky Tuesday across La Salle County.

Weger attorney Andy Hale discusses controversial conviction in series

By TOM COLLINS

tcollins@shawmedia.com Want to learn what a private lab learns from a fresh analysis of evidence from the Starved Rock murders? A lawyer for Chester Weger promises to divulge it via a podcast launched March 3.

Weger, who recently turned 83, served six decades for the 1960 murder of Lillian Oetting at Starved Rock State Park, where she and two other women were bludgeoned to death.

Weger maintains his innocence and a Chicago law firm succeeded in getting a La Salle County judge to approve fresh testing of crime scene evidence.

What has the lab found? The results aren’t in yet – a followup hearing was moved from Feb. 8 to April 18 – but Weger attorney Andy Hale pledges to disclose the results in a podcast series released last week.

The podcast can be heard online at andyhalepodcast.com via Spotify (https://spoti.fi/3p0JNwN) and Apple (https://apple.co/3uWs6Ct).

In the two episodes released to date, Hale disclosed he became interested in the case after hearing Weger’s protests of innocence. Weger’s comments sounded similar to those of Cleve Heidelberg, who had been wrongfully convicted of a murder near Peoria and whom Hale helped exonerate.

Chester Weger, 83, soon learns what a lab makes of decades-old evidence from the Starved Rock murders.

Hale and cohost Whitney Braun expressed their doubts about the contents of Weger’s since-recanted confession and inconsistencies in the evidence and testimony at his trial.

Braun had served as supervising producer on a recent HBO docu-series that Weger’s advocates believe omitted many details.

BUREAU COUNTY

By JAYCE EUSTICE

jeustice@shawmedia.com Representatives from the Bureau County Tourism Committee and Heritage Corridor Convention and Visitors Bureau spoke to the Bureau County Board during Tuesday’s meeting, wanting to see the tourism industry more financially supported after a difficult two years surrounding the pandemic.

Kathy Bauer, of the BCTC, said that her organization creates the Bureau County Visitors Guide that can be found in various locations within the county and in surrounding areas around the state.

These guides highlight various events, festivals and fun things to do in Bureau County throughout the year.

Bauer said that the committee gets a portion of its income from these books through advertising. Since the beginning of the pandemic the book has brought in around half of the income it previously had prior to COVID-19.

“Last year with a little bit less

advertising than he had in the past we received $700 for our cut of the profits,” Bauer said. “In prior years we have received $1,000 to $1,200 and even a little bit more.”

Bauer also added that the committee doesn’t receive pillow taxes from the Princeton Hotels, besides the Chestnut Street Inn, which last year brought in around $2,400 to the committee. “[Chestnut Street Inn] has been really good about paying their pillow tax,” Bauer said. “Some of the other places that should be paying it have not been paying it.”

In the past the tourism group had been part of the Peoria Convention and Visitors Bureau, but Bauer said the group didn’t really recognize its input or membership.

“We were on the very north side of their territory and we were kind of off their radar,” Bauer said. “So three years ago we met with Bob Navarro from the Heritage Corridor Convention and Visitors Bureau.”

Heritage Corridor is an organization that serves the area of Will, Cook, La Salle, Grundy, Livingston,

Putnam and Bureau counties.

“It was a natural fit for us to join them because they do Starved Rock Country and we are right there next to Putnam and La Salle County,” Bauer said.

Heritage Corridor produces three different travel guides throughout the year including a canal guide, a Route 66 guide and the Starved Rock Country Guide.

The organization also produces two event guides that work as a sort of calendar for those interested in what is going on in the community.

Navarro presented to the board that, according to statistics from the state of Illinois, visitors are spending over $51 million in Bureau County each year. This number is created from those living outside the county and making purchases within.

“That’s a significant number,” Navarro said. “I ask you to think about that when you are looking at budgets and you are looking at supporting the hospitality and tourism industry. I know the county received $6.3 million in American Rescue Plan funds and those can be spent on

travel tourism and hospitality to help the industry.”

The Bureau County Tourism Committee is looking for increased support from the county in order to fully utilize what Heritage Corridor can offer the businesses and organizations in the county.

“Since COVID hit, we haven’t been able to really formalize any plans and so we are just laying the groundwork,” Navarro said. “Now that the county has some additional funds, we are very much interested in seeing that some of those dollars get allocated to the hospitality industry.”

Bauer mentioned that some additional funds to their industry from the county could go a long way to providing a better environment for area businesses and towns.

“We want to see all the villages and all the areas that are producing festivals and events bring in more people and make more money,” Bauer said. “We just want to see more people come into Bureau County.”

HEALTH MATTERS

Pack on the nutrients!

5 ways to make your diet more nutritious Healthy eating should be a goal all year long. Choosing nutrient-rich foods at the grocery store is a great way to accomplish that goal.

The American Heart Association says research suggests the standard American diet is energy-rich (calorically heavy) but nutrient poor. And according to Canada-based registered dietician Nicole Osinga, though Canadians are making smarter food choices, room for improvement remains, especially in regard to limiting consumption of red meat.

Nutrient-rich foods are those that are high in minerals, vitamins and other nutrients that are vital for health without too much added sugars, sodium and saturated fat. Such foods include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and lean protein sources that can serve as the building blocks of a nutritious diet. These tips can make incorporating nutritious ingredients even easier.

1. READ NUTRITION LABELS The Nutrition Facts label included on items sold in North America is a significant source of information.

Consumers may only read the first few lines, but it’s best to read the entire label before deciding whether or not to purchase a given product.

Some foods may feature endorsements on their packaging and the inclusion of such labels indicates they’re healthy choices. For example, the American Heart Association’s HeartCheck mark indicates the product aligns with their recommendations for an overall healthy eating plan.

2. CHOOSE MORE WHOLE GRAINS Whole grains are low in fat and high in fiber. They’re also a smarter source of carbohydrates because they contain complex carbs that keep a person feeling fuller longer. Try to avoid products labeled as “enriched,” as they’ve had the germ and bran removed from the grain to produce a smoother texture, which means they need to be refortified with nutrients.

3. EAT DARK, LEAFY GREENS Green vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and plantbased omega-3 fatty acids. Kale, spinach and collard greens can be added to soups, stews, scrambled eggs, and salads for a powerful punch of nutrition.

4. PICK PULSES Pulses are essential to plant-based diets, but they also can be enjoyed by meat eaters. The Global Pulse Federation says pulses, which include foods like lentils and chickpeas, are rich in protein and fiber and low in fat. They also contain complex carbohydrates that take longer to break down. Research shows pulses can lower blood cholesterol, reduce blood pressure and help with weight management.

5. GO WITH SKIM OR LOW-FAT DAIRY Dairy products are rich in calcium and vitamin D, but those nutrients may come at the cost of saturated fat.

Choose reduced fat dairy options in recipes and when snacking.

These are just some of the ways individuals can make their diets more nutritious. TF223805

Keep seasonal allergies in check

There is much to look forward to when springs arrives. Daily hours of sunlight increase while temperatures continue to climb. Blooming flowers and leaves budding on trees also add some awe-inspiring color back into the landscape. Even though there’s much to enjoy about spring, one side effect of so much foliage in bloom is the return of seasonal spring allergies.

Many people find they cannot enjoy the sunshine and balmy temperatures of spring because of seasonal allergies. Hayfever, or allergic rhinitis, is a common spring allergy. The American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology indicates allergies are the sixth leading cause of chronic illness in the United States. More than 50 million Americans suffer from allergies each year. The Aerobiology Research Laboratories says allergens in the air across Canada have been rising in many cities over the last 15 years.

While there is no cure for seasonal allergies, there are steps individuals can take to live with them more comfortably.

• Stay indoors on dry, windy days.

It’s better to go outside after it rains, which clears pollen from the air.

• The ACAAI urges individuals to modify indoor environments to keep allergens out. An HEPA filter in HVAC systems can better trap spores.

• Consider vacations near the ocean or other bodies of water, as pollen counts tend to be lower in these areas.

• Delegate lawn mowing and other tasks that involve stirring up allergens to someone else. If you must do gardening and landscaping, wear a face mask to filter out some allergens.

• Close windows or doors when pollen counts are especially high.

• Wash hair and clothes when coming indoors to rinse out allergens that would transfer to pillowcases or furniture.

• Speak to an allergist who can recommend medications or other treatments that can improve seasonal allergies. Corticosteroids reduce inflammation and antihistamines can Seasonal allergies are a potential there are remedies that can help allehelp reduce sneezing or itchy eyes. pitfall of the spring season.

Also referred to as rapid tests or rapid antigen tests, these tests work by quickly identifying protein fragments from a virus - these are the antigens - and providing test results in about 15 minutes[2].

Despite being fast, antigen tests can be less accurate than other testing options because they are less sensitive, meaning that some people might incorrectly be told they don’t have the virus1.

PCR tests have remained a touchstone in diagnostics due to their heightened accuracy over antigen tests1. They are highly sensitive and can detect very small amounts of virus genetic material in a sample, such as viral DNA1. These tests have a sensitivity of about 98%, much higher than comparative data for antigen tests1.

How to avoid computer eye strain

Workplace hazards are a part of life for people in various professions.

Office workers might not consider themselves vulnerable to injury when they’re at work, but individuals who spent much of their day staring at a computer screen are at risk of developing computer eye strain.

According to The Vision Council, nearly 60 percent of individuals who routinely use computers and digital devices experience symptoms of computer eye strain. The health care experts at Cedars Sinai note that computer eye strain symptoms can include dry eyes, headache, blurred vision, and eye twitching. Despite the prevalence of computer eye strain, office workers and others who spend long periods of time at their computers can take steps to reduce their risk.

• Redo your work environment. Cedars Sinai recommends individuals concerned about computer eye strain create a better work environment to reduce their risk. The online vision health and wellness resource All About Vision notes that eye strain is often a byproduct of excessively bright light. That light could be natural light coming in through a window or from

interior lighting that is harsh on the eyes. If exterior light is making your office excessively bright, close drapes, shades or blinds to keep that light out.

Excessively bright lighting fixtures can be remedied by using fewer light bulbs or fluorescent tubes or replacing existing bulbs with lower intensity alternatives. All About Vision also notes that some individuals find floor lamps that employ soft white light from LED bulbs are less taxing on their eyes than overhead fluorescent lighting.

• Schedule vision checkups. Cedars Sinai notes that uncorrected vision problems are a major cause of computer eye strain. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends individuals get a complete eye exam once in their 20s, twice in their 30s and then again when they turn 40. A comprehensive eye exam at 40 is necessary because the AAO notes that this is when early signs of disease or changes in vision may appear. Diseases or changes can contribute to computer eye strain, among other issues. After conducting a comprehensive eye exam, ophthalmologists will then tell patients how often they should have their vision tested, and in-

dividuals should heed this advice and keep appointments.

• Upgrade your tech. All About Vision notes that flat-panel LED screens with anti-reflective surfaces are preferable to computer screens with cathode ray tubes, which can cause an imperceptible flicker of images that contributes to computer eye strain. A large display

screen, whether it’s a desktop computer or a monitor connected to a laptop, also can reduce risk for computer eye strain.

Computer eye strain can make workdays difficult for office workers.

Individuals who think they might be dealing with eye strain can try various strategies to prevent it or reduce its severity. TF22380

Ottawa rally shows support for Ukraine

By DEREK BARICHELLO

dbarichello@shawmedia.com Tami Perryman said Americans have been blessed.

Americans have not had to sew their child’s blood type on their clothing. She said Ukrainian parents have had to do so, in the event their children are found injured and alone they can get medical help, she told a crowd of about 50 people gathered Sunday in Washington Square in Ottawa to support Ukraine.

“If that doesn’t break your heart,” she said. “I don’t know what will.”

Those who attended Sunday wore yellow and blue clothing, waved Ukrainian flags and held up signs promoting peace. They demonstrated for the first 15 minutes at the corner of La Salle and

Lafayette streets, getting some honks of support from passing motorists.

Ukraine was attacked by Russian forces last month. The invasion reached its 18th day Sunday, as Brandon Lewis of the Ottawa Salvation Army shared a news report of an elementary school that had been bombed in a small town in Ukraine prior to leading a prayer.

The rally continued with prayers, a reading of “Peace is an Offering” by Annette LeBox, a reading of a Maya Angelou poem, the playing and reciting of the Ukrainian national anthem and some presentations by community members.

Perryman, of Community Church of Christ, encouraged those in attendance to remain empathetic and seek peace.

John Breslin referenced John F. Kennedy’s “Ich bin ein Berliner” speech, demonstrating the support for all of the people of Berlin, and said Sunday afternoon with the same sentiment.

“We are all Ukrainians today,” Breslin said in a statement of unified support.

Event organizer Ann Davis encouraged those in attendance to call and write their U.S. representatives and senators to create safe humanitarian corridors for Ukrainian refugees.

“There are 2.5 million out of 44 million who have fled, but that leaves many more who are trapped or under siege,” Davis said.

She handed out contact information for lawmakers and lists of verified charities helping Ukrainian citizens.

56 local students honored at annual Illinois Principals Association John Ourth breakfast

21 PUTNAM COUNTY RECORD Putnam County Record / putnamcountyrecord.com • Wednesday, Mar 16, 2022

SHAW MEDIA Streator High School hosted the Starved Rock Region Illinois Principal Association John Ourth Student Recognition Breakfast on Feb. 23.

The Starved Rock IPA dedicated this breakfast in memory of John Ourth, who helped the Starved Rock Region of the Illinois Principals Association begin the annual student recognition event. This annual event began in February of 2007 because of the encouragement and leadership of Ourth.

Ourth served as the first guest speaker for the event that brought together principals, students and their families for positive recognition of the students’ character. Ourth was born in Willoughby, Ohio, on Oct. 10, 1941, a son of Arnold John and Florence Sanford Ourth. He graduated from Nauvoo High School, Class of 1959. He received his bachelor’s degree from Graceland College in Lamoni in 1964 and his master’s degree from Western Illinois University in 1967. He began his teaching career in Willoughby, Ohio. He taught and served as principal in several rural Illinois locations, such as Media, Burnside, Ferris and Carthage. He retired as principal at Oak Terrace School, Highwood, Ill. Ourth was a charter member of the Illinois Principals Association, serving as president in 1976-1977. He was the co-founder of the IPA’s Professional Development Program and co-founder of the Coalition for Illinois High Schools. He was the IPA Field Services Director from 1993-2007. He served as special counselor to many organizations, including the Illinois Board of Education, the Illinois State Deans Association, the Illinois Association of Administrators of Special Education and several others.

He was honored with the naming of the IPA John Ourth Professional Development Scholarship. He filled a pivotal leadership role with National Association of Elementary School Principals for many years and served as its president in 1980-81. He was a published author of educational materials.

Tragically and unexpectedly, Ourth died in December of 2007. He is remembered by members of the IPA for his commitment to causes, such as the IPA and the National Association for Elementary School Principals.

Under his leadership both organizations grew into premier professional organizations offering services to members as well as many opportunities for professional growth. He lived his life to the full measurement of commitment, compassion and love

Illinois State Sen. Sue Rezin (R-Morris), photographed in May 2021 addressing the COVID-19 outbreak Thursday at the Illinois Veterans Home at La Salle, renewed her calls to pass corrective legislation.

Sen. Rezin: Time to address failures at the La Salle Veterans’ Home SHAW MEDIA Illinois Senate Deputy Minority Leader Sue Rezin (R-Morris) renewed her call Thurday to pass a series of legislative bills she introduced last year in response to the deadly COVID-19 outbreak at the La Salle Veterans’ Home.

The legislation, she said, would address Gov. JB Pritzker’s “failure to implement critical recommendations” from the Illinois Auditor General’s Performance Audit of the Legionnaire’s Disease outbreak at the Quincy Veterans’ Home, a report the governor received three years ago this month.

“How many reports must land on Gov. Pritzker’s desk before he takes the safety of our veterans seriously,” Rezin said. “It took the Pritzker administration 11 days to arrive on-site in La Salle, and it could still take the same number of days today.

“The governor’s lax approach toward improving the state’s outbreak response time and care for our veterans is not the type of leadership he pledged as a candidate.”

Two of Rezin’s bills address how Illinois prepares for and responds to outbreaks, while the third one strengthens the powers of the inspector general when conducting state investigations.

Senate Bill 3170: Sets a timeta-

ble for when Illinois Department of Public Health should conduct an on-site visit after being notified of an outbreak.

Senate Bill 1471: Requires facilities licensed and operated by the state to conduct outbreak preparedness drills.

Senate Bill 1445: Provides the inspector general subpoena powers to ensure cooperation with state investigations after former Pritzker political appointee and IDVA Director Linda Chapa LaVia refused to cooperate with the inspector general’s investigation at IDVA. The 2019 audit called for a timely response for on-site assistance by the IDPH, improved communications between IDPH and Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs personnel, and the implementation of all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations following a confirmed outbreak.

TheTetra Tech report received two months after the performance audit identified similar issues across our veterans’ homes. Nevertheless, Rezin said the Pritzker administration “ignored both reports which led to fatal consequences at the La Salle Veterans’ Home in November 2020 when 36 veterans died, making it the deadliest outbreak at a state-run facility in Illinois history.”

Last year, Rezin said, an IDPH

contractor admitted the agency’s delayed on-site arrival hurt efforts in controlling the spread of COVID-19, which was later reiterated by the Department of Human Services’ inspector general when he stated, “If these (Quincy) recommendations had been in place at the time of the outbreak, the outcome would have been better.” Deputy Gov. Sol Flores’ testimony also provided conflicting accounts of who was responsible for IDPH waiting nearly two weeks from the outbreak’s start to get on-site, even though she claimed to be coordinating the multi-agency response.

“While IDVA Acting Director Terry Prince has been addressing the internal problems existing within the agency, we cannot ignore the fact the state’s mismanagement of the outbreak spanned across multiple state agencies to the Governor’s Office,” Rezin said. “Therefore, we must put these policies and procedures into state law, ensuring a proper response is undertaken, no matter the people in charge. I am asking Gov. Pritzker to publicly support these bills and call for their passage before the end of the session. Doing so will honor the obligation we have to our veterans and their families by solidifying into law the state’s responsibility to show up when veterans need them the most.”

Teke’s a neighborhood tavern with appealing food Teke’s Bar & Grill has a front door on Main Street in Streator.

But if you follow the majority of locals, you’ll use the back door.

Though Teke’s is located in downtown Streator, it has the feel of a neighborhood tavern that also happens to serve some great food.

Diners have the option to sit at booths next to the bar, or in one of two separate dining rooms.

Ornamented tin ceilings lend a vintage touch, and outdoor items and collectibles make up some of the decor elements in one of the dining rooms at Teke’s.

The tabletops within the booths in the dining room are the first hint you’re in a neighborhood tavern. A collage of old photographs and newspaper clippings can be found under clear glass, giving the setting a completely unique and local flavor.

The flavor doesn’t stop with the aesthetics, though.

For starters, the burgers are some of the best in La Salle County. They are grilled and seasoned to have a unique flavor that isn’t duplicated elsewhere.

But on this visit, we went a slightly different route, my dining companion ordering Bubba’s beef hoagie, which is a charbroiled beef patty with a hint of garlic.

Smothered with grilled peppers and onions, along with melted Swiss cheese, it was a hit. She ordered a side of the eatery’s seasoned fries to go with her sandwich.

In the mood for seafood, I selected the fried cod, served with seasoned fries.

Much of the Teke’s menu features grilled burgers, steak, chicken, pork chops and other grilled items, but the other half of the options are prepared deep-fried – wings, chicken, breaded tenderloin, fish and appetizers.

The generous serving of cod tasted good, the fish nestled in a light batter.

IF YOU GO ■ WHAT: Teke’s Bar & Grill ■ WHERE: 113 W. Main St., Streator ■ PHONE: 815-672-4906

Known for its tempting fare, Teke’s Bar & Grill is in downtown Streator.

Before my cod, I ordered a cup of chili, which was filled with ground beef and beans. It also had a subtle kick, which made it flavorful, but not too spicy. The chili was a tasty treat on a wintry day.

We also ordered some fried beef ravioli with marinara sauce for dipping as an appetizer.

With tip, the overall bill was $35.69.

The eatery has a children’s menu, and offers specials during the week.

Teke’s is all about comfort food served up in a comfortable and friendly atmosphere.

Patrons at the hangout can order drinks from the bar, or belly up before or after.

There’s local sports memorabilia as decor, and games on the television sets.

In everything on the menu, especially the grilled fare, diners will discover a good, seasoned flavor unique to Teke’s that keeps its fans coming back – whether it’s through the front or back doors.
