and Heldt, and recognized retiring members Jan Golden and Connie Lower for their 8 years of service during the April 29 meeting.

The new board elected Bill Woessner president, Karl Henze vice president, and Jen Sturtevant secretary; each are 2-year terms.

The board also approved all contracts in force, continuing with Norm Brinkmeier as district treasurer, DiAnn Adolph as board recording secre-

tary, Richard L. Johnson and Bray Architects, Ward, Murray, Pace and Johnson as attorneys, and the Benning Group as auditors.

The board approved the following new committee assignments: District Improvement Team representative, Sturtevant; Curriculum, Sturtevant and Cassens; Facilities, Heeren and Henze; Policy, Henze and Heldt; Finance, Steve Snider and Woessner; and Transportation, Heldt and Heeren.

Members decided not to amend the 2014-15 budget prior to the conclusion 30. Hansen said since budgeted revenues and expenditures by fund are operating within 5 percent of projections, the statutory level that requires the budget be amended, no amendments are necessary.

Members accepted the resignations of Cory

Walters as district social worker; Colleen Henze as head girls basketball coach; Rachel Todd as yearbook adviser; and Brandon Bull as assistant speech team adviser, all effective at the end of the school year.

The board hired Chelsea Anderson as fourth-grade teacher and Joslynn teacher for the 2015-16 school year.

Maternity leave for media specialist Erin Paulsen was approved, projected to start Oct. 13 and end Dec. 22. Sixthgrade teacher Rebecca Roethe’s maternity leave, projected to start Oct. 21 and conclude Dec. 2, also was approved.

The board agreed to continue posting vacancies for substitute custodians, substitute bus drivers, yearbook adviser, head girls basketball coach, and assistant speech team adviser.

CRIME

Local man arrested after high-speed chase Police: Traffic stop of former Chadwick man in Freeport results in gunfire, pursuit through 4 counties

By CHRISTI WARREN For Prairie Advocate MENDOTA – A former Chadwick man was in LaSalle County Jail on Monday on more than $125,000 bond after, police said, he pulled a gun on a Freeport police Sunday morning.

According to Illinois State in Freeport around 9 a.m., Alec T. Pulley, 29, pulled

triggering “a high-speed chase” that lasted more than an hour and went through Stephenson, Winnebago, Ogle, and LaSalle counties, Illinois State Police said in a news release.

Pulley was arrested after crashing his car into the median on Interstate 39 in Mendota; a handgun was recovered at the scene, the release said.

He was treated at OSF Saint Paul Medical Center

in Mendota, then taken to the jail in Ottawa. He was set to be transferred to Stephenson Alec T. County Jail.

Pulley The investigations into the and the pursuit are being handled by the multi-agency Northwest Illinois Major Case Squad, Freeport Police Department Deputy Chief Jeff Mastroianni said this

morning. As is procedure, pending the outcome of that investigation.

Freeport police have charged Pulley with aggravated battery and a felony. His bond is set at $100,000. He also is wanted on a warrant for contempt of court, which is a $25,000 bond, Mastroianni said.

According to the ISP, Pul-

eluding, and unlawful use of a weapon. The weapons charge is a felony.

More or different charges results of the investigation.

The ISP release calls Pulley a Chadwick resident, but according to Chadwick Police Chief Ryan Lambert, he has not lived in the area for several years.

Pulley, also formerly of Freeport and Apple River, already has multiple felony convictions in Stephenson

County: four for burglary, one for theft, and one for possession of a controlled substance. He also has a number of misdemeanor Stephenson, Carroll and JoDaviess counties.

Ogle and Lee counties, and state police troopers from Districts 1 in Sterling, 15 in Downers Grove, and 16 in Pecatonica were involved in the chase, the ISP said.

SENATE WEEK IN REVIEW May 4-8

By State Sen. Tim Bivins, 45th District

Resolution honors Powell brothers

SPRINGFIELD – As lawmakers continued working during the week toward a scheduled May 31 adjournment of the General Assembly, the Illinois Supreme Court delivered a unanimous opinion Friday striking down large parts of the 2013 pension reform bill.

The irresponsible decisions by past legislative leaders to skip the state’s public pension payments year after year have left us with a debt that is staggering and continues to use resources going forward. that the 2013 plan was unconstitutional, as the Illinois Constitution is quite diminishments. I do, however, recognize the fact that the Supreme Court decision places additional pressure on the state’s budget, so we need to get down to reform options.

Police memorial held at Capitol Hundreds of police

the state gathered at the Capitol Building Thursday for the Illinois Police ceremony, which honors the line of duty. The memorial statue, which sits on the Capitol’s west lawn, serves as a reminder to Illinois made by the brave police safety. Watch a video on my website, demo.bivins.senategop.org, about this year’s memorial service.

A resolution honoring the seven Powell brothers from Greene County, all of whom served in World War II, unanimously passed the Senate Friday. Senate Joint Resolution 2 names a section of state Route 67 through Greene County the “Powell Brothers Memorial Highway.”

The seven brothers were scattered throughout the Western European, Russian, and Japanese theaters of combat. Arthur, Earl, Fred, and George served in the Navy. Adrian, Everett, and Max served in the Army Air Corps, the predecessor to the modern Air Force.

Everett was shot down in his P-47 Thunderbolt over Belgium, and was held in a German prisoner of war camp for 18 months.

All seven survived and returned home after the war.

They were commended by the United States Senate in May 2014. The family’s hometown of Hillview in their honor in 1988.

SJR 2 now heads to the House of Representatives for consideration.

Halting expansion of taxing bodies?

State Sens. Michael Connelly, R-Wheaton, and Dan Duffy, R-Lake Barrington, are leading the charge against the expansion of taxing bodies in Illinois.

House Bill 228 will prevent the General Assembly from creating any new units of government or subdividing any existing ones.

Illinois has units of government that focus solely on regulating things like mosquitoes, tuberculosis, museums, hospitals, exposition halls, and airports.

Illinois leads the nation with 6,963-plus units of government, double the number of neighboring

states Wisconsin and Missouri. Illinois’ other three neighbors – Kentucky, Indiana, and Iowa – combined have 1,000 fewer units of government. Illinois’ total is staggering when compared to California’s 4,425 and Texas’ 5,147, considering the relative size of Illinois’ population.

HB 228 does not prevent two existing units of government from combining or eliminating and consolidating services into one taxing body.

Senate considers cannabis measures Legislation to extend the state’s medical cannabis pilot program and decriminalize small amounts of cannabis advanced out of Senate committees last week.

Helping reduce the number of nonviolent offenders in the state’s overburdened court and correctional systems is one of the primary objectives of HB 218. The legislation would reduce penalties for possession of 15 or fewer grams of marijuana, making the offense punishable by a However, opponents point out marijuana continues to be an offense under federal law, and a number of law enforcement organizations are concerned about the impact of a provision in the bill that establishes

THC levels — the chemical responsible for marijuana’s psychological effects — that are allowable while driving.

Additionally, challengers of HB 218 note that the state just approved the medical marijuana program and has not yet had the opportunity to analyze its impact of communities, let alone the impact of decriminalization of marijuana for recreational use. A further argument is that decriminalization does not open the door to taxing marijuana, whereas legalization would.

On a related front, the sponsors of the state’s medical cannabis pilot program are asking for more time to analyze its impact in Illinois.

They’ve introduced HB 3299, which would extend the current Jan. 1, 2018, repeal date of the program, changing it to 4 years after sary organize registration; likewise, patient registry cards would be extended from 1 year from that date.

Opponents say it’s too soon to extend the program, noting that at this time there is nothing to examine to see if it is worth extending. Registration for the dispensaries and cultivation centers have been issued only recently, and patients have not yet began using medical marijuana for treatment.

McDonough takes pride in the fact that her pies and other baked goods at the market and at her restaurant is created with as much locally grown produce as possible. “The great thing about living and doing business here, is people just stop in with vegetables fresh out of their gardens that I use in my recipes,” McDonough said. “And I love supporting our farmers market for that reason.” McDonough also buys produce from people like Kate Wood, whose farmette is just 6 miles southeast of Mount Carroll. Wood, who owns The Kitchen Garden, said she harvested 6 pounds of spinach this week that was used in several menu items at Molly’s. “My goal is to be able to base my menu totally on locally-grown produce, year-round,” McDonough said. “Our goal is to support Molly,” Larsen said.

SAVANNA — Raymond “Mac” McFadden, 93, of Savanna, died Sunday, May 3, 2015, at his home.

A graveside service with full military rites will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at Center Hill Cemetery in Mount Carroll, followed by a Celebration of Life service at 11:30 a.m. at the Savanna Moose Lodge, 125 Main St.

Raymond was born Dec. 22, 1921, to Maurice and Elsie (Schmidt) McFadden in Savanna. He attended Savanna High School and graduated with the Class of 1939. In 1942, Raymond joined the Army Air Corps and proudly served his country as a sergeant until 1946. On Sept. 28, 1953, he married the love of his life, Lucille Hartman, in Savanna. They celebrated 55 years of marriage before her death on June 25, 2009, and there wasn’t a day that went by that he couldn’t wait to be with her again.

Raymond was a lifetime farmer who worked in the Savanna area for many years. His life centered around the farm. He also worked at the Savanna Army Depot and the retirement. He enjoyed reading, cutting wood, and being outside, cherishing every moment he spent on the farmstead. Most of all, he loved spending time with his family and friends, who will surely miss his great sense of humor. He never hesitated to tell anyone that he was “the luckiest man” to have such a beautiful and wonderful family.

Raymond will be dearly missed by a daughter, Lois (Bernard) Hartman of Lanark; 11 grandchildren, Ron Hartman, Jerry (Sheila) Hartman, Cathy Corey, Colleen Terry, Tom Hartman, Jim (Glenda) Moore, Peggy (Bill) Brown, Patty Jo Derrickson, Mike (Darci) Hartman, Raylene Moore, Lavonne (Scott) Sturtevant; 20 great-grandchildren; 33

Faith has been playing guitar for 5 years.

“Faith is a very talented and gifted young lady,” Robbins said. “ She also plays clarinet and reads and writes music. Faith can usually memorize her music within a few days, so she does not need sheet music to perform. She performed the National Anthem at opening ceremonies quite beautifully, in front of close to ten thousand people, with news cameras aimed at her.”

Faith is a talented athlete, as well. She won a gold medal for the softball throw and a silver medal for the 50 meter run, which at State Special Olympics June 12-14 in Bloomington.

FOOD SAFETY

Tips to preventing foodborne illness LANARK — It doesn’t happen very often, but recent news on the botulism outbreak at a church potluck in Lancaster, Ohio, has shed light that foodborne illness still remains a concern.

No matter the size of a city or an event where there is food, there is the potential risk of foodborne illness if not prepared properly. The likely cause of the foodborne botulism outbreak as potato salad made with home-canned potatoes.

Home food preservation has become a growing trend over the past few years motivated by the local foods movement and rising food costs. How popular has it become? The Center for Disease Control reports that

1 in 5 U.S. households are canning their own foods, with a reported 65 percent canning vegetables.

“It’s great to see so many people getting into home food preservation,” said University of Illinois Extension Nutrition and Wellness Educator and registered dietitian Diane Reinhold. “However, it is critical that everyone has a good understanding of safe and up-to-date food preservation practices.”

Botulism, which is caused by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, and other foodborne related illnesses remain a concern not only for food manufacturing facilities, but also for those who preserve their own food.

According to the CDC, the most common cause of foodborne botulism

outbreaks in the United States occur from homecanned vegetables. In a 12-year period between 1996 and 2008, there were only 48 foodborne botulism outbreaks reported that were

caused by home-prepared foods — four per year nationwide. Eighteen of those outbreaks were due to home-canned vegetables.

But the general goal of food preservation is to prevent food spoilage. This is done by controlling the conditions that encourage the growth of molds, yeasts, bacteria, and enzyme activity.

“Being able to control the conditions that our food is in is an important factor in controlling food spoilage. Especially because many micro-organisms involved in foodborne illnesses are not visible to the naked-eye and food may contain toxins without showing any signs,” said Reinhold.

“One thing many people do not realize is that low-acid foods, such as asparagus, green beans, and carrots — or potatoes in this case — must be processed using

Clostridium botulinum,” Reinhold said.
