Sure sign of spring

A sure sign the region is finished with snow, ice and sub-zero temperatures was the sight of Lisa Barton carrying trays of flowers out of her greenhouses. Barton opened the Corner Garden for the year on April 8. Located in Tonica on North 20th Road on the west side of the Interstate 39 overpass, the Corner Garden offers a variety of flowers, plants, decor, and seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables.

APRIL 2 CONSOLIDATED ELECTION | LASALLE COUNTY

Voters reject public safety sales tax Vote tallies listed for Tonica, Lostant

BY DAVE COOK news@tonicanews.com TONICA — Several issues were at stake for Tonica and Lostant area residents when they cast their votes in the April 2 Consolidated Election.

County voters decided not to implement a .25 percent public safety sales tax to help meet the increased expenses of county offices such as the state’s attorney, coroner and sheriff.

There were 10,842 votes against the proposition, or 70.12 percent, and 4,620 votes, or 29.88 percent, in favor of the increase.

Voter turnout was low at 22.95 percent countywide. Of LaSalle County’s 72,011 registered voters, only 16,525 turned out to vote.

Locally, Chris Dose and Andrew Forrest ran for four-year terms on the Lostant Village Board. Forrest received 30 votes, or 51.72 percent, and Dose had 28 votes, or 48.28 percent.

The village of Tonica had three

candidates running for three fouryear terms on its board of trustees.

The candidates were Dave Wiesbrock, Bob Folty and Mike Supan Jr. Supan received 72 votes, or 36.36 percent, Folty received 64 votes, or 32.32 percent, and Wiesbrock had 62 votes, or 31.31 percent.

The village of Tonica also had two candidates running for three unexpired two-year terms on its board of trustees. Todd Anderson received 78 votes, or 57.78 percent, and Tom Goskusky got 57 votes, or 42.22 percent.

The Tonica Grade School District had three candidates running for three four-year seats on its board.

Candidates were Julie L. Goff Rietgraf Zimmer, Chad E. Lambert and Allen Leffelman.

Lambert received the most votes with 153, or 35.75 percent. Leffelman had 144 votes, or 33.64 percent, and Zimmer received 131

votes, or 30.61 percent.

The LaSalle-Peru Township High School District Board of Education had one candidate running for an unexpired two-year term and four candidates running for three fouryear terms. On the basis of existing board membership, at least one member was to be elected from the county’s unincorporated area.

Robert (Bob) Morrison ran for the two-year term, and Gregory (Greg) Sarver, Sally A. Hocking Taliani, Tony Sparks and Wayne Temple, the only candidate from an unincorporated area, ran for the four-year terms.

Morrison received 3,691 votes or 90.16 percent. Write-in candidates were chosen by 403 voters or 9.84 percent.

For the four-year terms, Sarver received 3,805 votes, or 30.68 percent; Taliani received 3,475 votes, or 28.02 percent; Sparks received 2,749 votes or 22.16 percent; and Temple received 2,375 votes, or 19.15 percent.

Running for the two seats on the IVCC District Board of Trustees, which are six-year terms, were candidates Jane E. Goetz and Amy Sipovic-Boyles. Goetz had 10,546 votes, or 53.83 percent, and Sipovic-Boyles received 9,045 votes, or 46.17 percent.

LOSTANT VILLAGE BOARD

Fitness upgrades being planned for park Ladies League offers proposal to add fitness equipment or trail

BY ZACHARY J. PRATT news@tonicanews.com LOSTANT — While plans are not yet cemented, the park in Lostant could receive a fitness trail or equipment.

The proposal was presented to the Lostant Village Board on Monday

by Doneida Larsen of the Lostant Ladies League, who said the plans had not been entirely drawn up yet.

However, Larsen described two options, one which involves only the addition of fitness apparatus around the park, and another which also includes a walking trail upon which these structures could be sit-

uated. She expects the first option is the more likely.

O f t h e s t r u c t u re s, L a r s e n described the possibility as “some made from timber, some from metal — all professionally made, of course.”

While placements have not been decided upon, Larsen indicated the structures would not dominate the park.

“We still want to use the park for things. We don’t want to fill up all the space,” she said.

Before final decisions can proceed, the village has opted to look into whether the proposal could present liability issues, but the idea was well received by the board.

Water meter upgrades Lostant leaders are looking to upgrade the village’s aging water meters, which have reached the

Read us online • tonicanews.com

point of obsolescence. New meters might be rolled out for the entire village.

The Ger man-made radio-read meter can be read from a distance using Android devices, which would allow the entire village to be read and numbers input in a hassle-free short period of time, without the potential for transposition errors.

As of Monday’s meeting, the village had in its possession only one remaining obsolete meter, and that meter was already spoken for.

In other discussion, the village board is short a board member. Anybody interested in being appointed to the position is encouraged to contact Village President Jack Immel or any current board member.

There is a pile of dirt at the south end of Main Street. Immel encouraged anybody who wants some to pick some up: “Free dirt, go get it!”

ILLINOIS VALLEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Event exceeded $25,000 goal before it even began

BY DAVE COOK news@tonicanews.com OGLESBY — In three years, the Illinois Valley Community College Foundation has raised more than $75,000 through its Giving Day events to help students achieve their academic goals.

The third annual Giving Day event, held April 3, exceeded its $25,000 goal before the spirited events in the gymnasium even began.

“These funds will be used to provide scholarships to well-deserving students to help them complete their education,” Fran Brolley, IVCC’s director of Community Relations and Development, said.

Funds are raised through a series of lighthearted competitions, raffles and social media interaction.

Included in the day were a bake sale; a raffle for two tickets to a perfor mance of “Hamilton” in Chicago, sponsored by IVCC; and a raffle for two tickets to a White Sox game, sponsored by NRG Media.

Past competitions have included challenges such as staff members seeing who could make the most free throws or do the most pushups. But, this year organizers changed the lineup to allow for more participation from both students and staff. However, one aspect that didn’t change was the popular “Slime Challenge.”

Each year the “winner” of this challenge is the staff member who collects the most monetary donations prior to the event. They are then “slimed” by a raffle winner who entered to be the “slimer.”

The IVCC Chem Club creates the

Tonica News photo/ Dave Cook thick, oozing green concoction that is poured over the winner’s head in front of the cheering crowd.

New to the event was the Spirit Sprint Relay. In this challenge, six teams of five competed in a relay race with a series of events. Teams included staff and a variety of members from the college’s athletic teams.

“We’re here to celebrate everything that makes IVCC great,” Janice Corrigan, IVCC Foundation assistant, said.

The first stage was a race with a balloon held between the legs of the competitors who then had to sit on and pop the balloon. Following that, the next team member had to quickly rotate through a large stack of colored cups, or the “Stack Attack,” until reaching the sole cup of a different color.

112 S. St. Paul St. Mark, IL 61340 Johnny Sieg Owner/Operator

The third event was the “Chuckin’ Chick’n,” in which teams had to successfully toss two rubber chickens into a distant bucket. The fourth stage, the “Pantyhose Pushover,”

required placing a stocking with a tennis ball in the end over their heads and attempting to knock over a bottle of water.

The final stage required competitors to don safety glasses and mittens before quickly spinning around five times while leaned over with their forehead on a yardstick. They then had to stay leaned over while rolling a basketball through a series of cones before finally shooting a basket while wearing the bulky mittens.

Hometown National Bank was a major sponsor of the day, and Brolley said the bank has donated $3,000 each year toward the event.

Following the competitions, those in attendance were invited to enjoy the pizza provided by Marchelloni’s, the water provided by Pepsi and the popcorn made by the IVCC Athletic Department.

“We’re excited we’ve found a way to make giving fun. This event seems to grow and get better every year. All the donations, no matter how much they are, add up to help us provide access to higher education for our students,” Brolley said.

LOSTANT

Lostant Grade School students compete in bridge building contest LOSTANT — Lostant fifth- through eighth-grade science students competed in the bridge building contest at Dimmick school.

The classes have been working for the last several weeks to design and build a balsa wood bridge. The bridges had to be between 15 and 18 inches long, less than 5 inches tall and less than 4 inches wide.

The heaviest Lostant bridge to compete weighed 30 grams and the lightest weighed 16 grams. At the competition, weight was applied to each bridge to test its strength and endurance. Lostant competed against 11 other schools with a total of 96 teams.

“We are proud to announce that the team of Makenzie Chambers, Dylan Busch, Brayden Scurti, Paityn Skinner and Lucas Weisbrock placed fourth out of the 96 teams,” said Lostant science teacher Tricia Haynes. “This led Lostant to a second-place school finish for the day.

Photo contributed I am extremely proud of their hard work and dedication to this project. Lostant’s fifth- through eighth-grade science students recently competed against 11 other schools and a total of 96 other teams in a Fantastic job!” bridge building contest at Dimmick School. Lostant earned an overall second place finish.
