COVER STORY | FULTON

Schools set to put their faith in Clinton Unity Christian raising funds to pay for new school, and move across the river

BY PHILLIP HARTMAN Prairie Advocate phartman@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5525

FULTON – Everybody needs a little room to grow now and again, and Unity Christian Schools is no different – except that it needs nearly $6 million to grow.

Students’ families and school staff are working to raise about $5.7 million for a new K-12 building in Clinton, Iowa, while maintaining a presence in Fulton.

Unity, which has 126 students, this year moved the elementary students into the high school at 711 10th St. The nondenominational school also has a preschool and child care facility at 502 12th St. “We consolidated into the high school specifically with the thought of building,” Principal Chris Pluister said. “We needed a new roof on the elementary, and we decided we didn’t want to put six figures into a building we were walking away from.”

The school has an option to buy 20 acres of land between 13th and 19th avenues North in Clinton that’s valued at $450,000. The building already is designed, said Laura Readdy, an art teacher who’s helping with fundraising efforts.

“It’s an ongoing drive. The first drive is to pay for the land. We’ll continue until

According to a document from the district, Unity first started taking shape in February 1917, when a committee began work on a Christian school in Fulton.

Fulton Excelsior Christian School’s first students met in fall 1921 in the basement of First Christian Reformed Church. A two-room schoolhouse was built in 1924 at the corner of 14th Avenue and Eighth Street.

In 1953, the school moved to a four-room brick building on 10th Street. The building grew during the next few decades, with high school students moving in on Aug. 24, 1981.

The elementary building on 11th Avenue was bought in 1983.

The school system was named Unity Christian School in 1992.

In 2002, the school leased River City Day Care Center, and bought it in January 2005.

WHITESIDE COUNTY

New date for trial in 5-year-old reckless homicide case

BY KATHLEEN A. SCHULTZ Sauk Valley Media kschultz@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5535

MORRISON – The trial of a woman charged with reckless homicide in the death of a Sterling motorcyclist, which was to have begun today, was moved to June 13 – a little over a week past the fifth anniversary of the fatal collision.

Theresa A. Ruf, 47, formerly of Chadwick, now of Dixon, is charged in Whiteside County with reckless homicide and failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident in the June 5, 2012, death of Samuel L. Munz, 53.

Ruf, who was driving an SUV, rear-ended Munz in front of his rural Sterling home as he was stopped to make a left turn into his driveway. She is accused of speeding and of being distracted by her cellphone.

Reckless homicide carries 2 to 5 years in prison.

The case was being prosecuted by then-State’s

Attorney Trish Joyce, but Joyce was appointed a circuit court judge in December, and so has recused herself.

Terry Costello, appointed to replace Joyce, now is overseeing the case.

Ruf was free on a $100,000 recognizance bond, but she was cited May 22 in Sterling for speeding 15 to 20 mph above the limit and driving on a suspended license. She now is free on $25,000 bond.

The Munz family also is suing Ruf for wrongful

death. That case, too, has not yet been resolved. A case management hearing is set for July 17.

The suit, filed Aug. 15, 2012, in Whiteside County Court by Munz’s son, Jacob E. Munz, executor of his estate, accuses Ruf of speeding and failing to brake in time. It seeks more than $50,000 in damages for his death, between $10,000 and $50,000 for the damage to his motorcycle, and requests a jury trial.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the outpouring of love, support and generosity that was extended to us in preparation for and during the benefit that was held for Deb Larem and since her passing. We have been uplifted by our friends, customers and everyone in our surrounding communities.

SPECIAL THANKS to all of the businesses and individuals that contributed items for the Silent and Live Auctions and for the help with promoting and advertising for the benefit, for the donations of food and supplies for the meal, and for the countless volunteers who worked to make this benefit successful.

THANK YOU to everyone who attended the benefit – we couldn’t have done any of it without YOU. We were overwhelmed with the number of people who were there to honor Deb, especially in spite of the weather conditions. We would also like to thank all of the people who have supported Deb and her family by making contributions to the “Care Package” Account. We are truly grateful for small town living and the communities that support each other in times such as these.

We are blessed. Thank you again.

olunteering, ... the commitment we dread. But is it really the commitment, or more so the time? We are in a day and age when we are all over the place in schedules, commitments, things we don’t want to miss, and more.

The top reason for not volunteering is time constraints. It doesn’t have to be that way. There are many ways to be a part of any organization without having to fully commitment a life sentence. I have a number of individuals who I know are a mere phone call away for a specific task. Microvolunteering has become the solution to dealing with these time constraints.

I am working on putting together information on how you can do as little or as much as you want to be involved. A thought for all: Value is no longer seen as the organization, but the people in it. Look for ways you can be a part of something great!

May is National Beef Month. Did you know the average American eats 61 pounds of beef each year?

Angus is the most popular breed of beef in the United States. The U.S. supplies 25 percent of the world’s beef supply with 10 percent of the world’s cattle. In 2011, there were 1.1 million cattle and calves on Illinois farms.

Once cattle reach market weight of typically 1,200 to 1,400 pounds, they are taken to the processor. Whether it is locally or a packing house, all meat has to be inspected to ensure it is safe.

Beef is a good source of zinc, iron, and protein. While some prefer say a “meatless Monday,” that is something you would never see out of me. If you would even consider that for dietary reasons, I would say to you there are so many ways to eat beef as part of a low-fat diet. I have always been and will always be a carnivore, but I have found many ways to eat meat as part of my low-fat, low-carb diet. For instance, broccoli beef is one of my favorite recipes. I also just started making a big mac salad that tastes just like a Big Mac without the fat but all the flavor.

Now that grill season is

SAVANNA

New council swears in new city clerk All department heads retained

BY MICHAEL MILLER For Prairie Advocate

SAVANNA – The newly elected Savanna City Council got to business on May 9, swearing in a new city clerk, organizing city committees, and appointing all department heads to another 4-year term.

Rhonda Weiss will be the new city clerk, sworn in by outgoing clerk Paul Hartman. Ward Four Alderman Roger Husband thanked Hartman for his long service to the city.

Public Works Superintendent John Lindeman, Police Chief Michael Moon, Fire Chief Shawn Picolotti, and Treasurer/Comptroller Sheryl Sipe were all appointed for 4 more years

by Mayor Chris Lain, with council approval. Aldermen Christine Lee and Jeff Griswold voted “nay” on the

issue, though Lee said her vote was not a reflection on any of their performances.

She saidshe just felt a yearly appointment might be better.

Picolotti reported that a 40-hour vehicle extrication course would be offered at the fire station, at little cost to the city.

The council voted to accept a grant of $50,000 from the Illinois Housing Development Authority for the Abandoned Residential Municipal Relief Program.

A list of potential properties has been composed by the Building and Public Property Committee, though the matter is complicated by the fact that some of them are occupied, according to committee member Chris James.
