The countdown to school Lostant still in the process of much repair/maintenance work By Zachary J. Pratt news@tonicanews.com
LOSTANT — As work continues at Lostant Grade School, the clock keeps ticking down the days before the building needs to be ready for use. With summer school beginning on July 31, and the coming school year following soon after on Aug. 24, Superintendent Sandra Malahy is pushing for repair and maintenance work to be completed before it can interfere with school proceedings. Several areas of the school remain without lighting,
and building supplies are stored throughout. One major location of these are stored in the gym, which Malahy described as completely unusable at this time and with a floor still in need of stripping and waxing. “The whole upstairs is yet to be attended to, and there’s extensive water damage there,” Malahy said. However, she noted the plasterwork on the lower floor has progressed well. “They have finished the plasterwork down here in every room but the computer lab,” she said. Other maintenance continues to progress. As the kitchen is being cleaned and reassembled, var-
ious board members noted it already looks much better than it had previously, even in its currently incomplete state. With the countertop newly arrived, the room is soon to be further improved. With the work yet to be done, the school’s employees have stepped up and offered their assistance. “We have several employees sitting in the wings, teachers and aides who said to just call and they’ll come to help clean,” Malahy said.

IVCC and Extension partner on ag research plot OGLESBY — The University of Illinois Extension and Illinois Valley Community College announced the opening of a new chapter in its expanding soil and crop research partnership with the development of a standalone research plot at IVCC, just south of campus. The eight-acre plot has been planted with soybeans and is being used to conduct a replicated soybean population study. The study has three planting populations: 100,000, 140,000 and 180,000 plants per acre. The populations will be recorded by Extension staff Russ Higgins and Daryle Wragge. Higgins is an Extension educator with a commercial agriculture emphasis, while Wragge is a coordinator of ag and natural resources programs. Test plot data will be obtained from the yield monitor on the combine during harvesting this fall. Research is being conducted in close cooperation with Chris Kolodziej, who has contracted with IVCC to farm its land. The Extension will offer a late season scouting workshop at the site Aug. 15.

Wrestling for a cause STREATOR — Rebellious Wrestling Federation head Sean Hubbard recently presented United Way of Eastern LaSalle County a donation of $300 to aid the tornado relief fund of Ottawa and Naplate. This was raised during the RWF’s June event “Wrestle Wars 2” which was held at the Streator Family YMCA. The RWF’s next event, “Wrestle Wars 3” will be held Sept. 16 at the Bureau County Fairgrounds in Princeton. Wrestle Wars are a series of regularly held professional wrestling events held throughout the Illinois Valley area, and each event is run to aid a different cause. The premier event held in December aided the Wounded Warrior Project. Wrestle Wars 3 will benefit Piper Stapleton, the daughter of Kristina Norris, formerly of Princeton, whose parents still live in the area. Piper suffers from a disease known as microcephaly which causes her head to be smaller than normal, leading to developmental disabilities and other health issues. “Our first two events were set up to help major organizations; this time we

It struck me, so I reached out to her, and she was very appreciative of the offer to help. We like to think of ourselves as ‘neighbors helping neighbors,’ so what better way to show that than by reaching out to help someone who has local ties.” Wrestlers from throughout the country, including David Lackey Jr., whose aunt has the same condition, are coming to participate in this event. Also appearing will be former WWE & TNA developmental talent Diamond Steele, who has become a mainstay of the roster. Ticket prices range from $10 for a front row seat down to $5 for kids, seniors 60 and over, or active service people with a military ID.

New Director Kim Zavada was elected to a threeyear term. A 1989 graduate of IVCC, she works at Streator High School. At the close of this fiscal year, the foundation had $3.28 million in its investment portfolio and
more than $477,000 in its endowment campaign for increasing the number of scholarships. IVCC President Jerry Corcoran has said the work to replace lighting fixtures and add wall coverings in the Cultural Centre auditorium continues. The project is expected to be finished before classes begin on Aug. 16 and is being funded by a bequest from the estate of Walter Durley Boyle of Hennepin, a former long-time foundation director and trustee.

Seizing several pounds of methamphetamine By Dave Cook
dcook@tonicanews.om
PRINCETON — Following a traffic stop on Interstate 80, three California residents and one Ohio resident are facing charges of unlawful possession of methamphetamine. At 9 a.m. on July 28, Illinois State Police stopped a vehicle on eastbound I-80 at Mile Marker 48 for a traffic violation. During a vehicle walk-around, a K-9 officer from the Tri-County Drug Enforcement Narcotics Team (TriDENT) detected the presence of illegal drugs. While searching the vehicle, officers found three pounds of methamphetamine in a duffel bag. Driver Robert Dyas, 36, of Long Beach, Calif., admitted possession of the bag and was taken into custody. Three passengers, Mary Brown, 36, of Long Beach, Calif.; Elizabeth Jones, 25, of Cleveland, Ohio; and Sherwood Lyles, 52, of Burbank, Calif.; were also taken into custody, and all four defendants were taken to the Illinois State Police District 17 Headquarters in LaSalle. According to Bureau County State’s Attorney Geno Caffarini, while being searched during processing, one of the women was found to be hiding three additional pounds of methamphetamine in her girdle. Officers later found three more pounds of methamphetamine in the squad car that one of the defendants then admitted to concealing during transport. This raised the total amount being smuggled to Ohio to nine pounds. Dyas faces charges of unlawful possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver and more than 900 grams. Penalties for the Class X felony include a sentence of not less than 15 years and not more than 60. Fines are not to exceed
$400,000 or the street value of the drug. The other three defendants face charges of unlawful possession of methamphetamine of more than 900 grams. Caffarini also said Lyles has a prior federal conviction for distribution of cocaine. Judge Cornelius J. Hollerich set bond for Brown, Jones, Dyas and Lyles at $750,000 with 10 percent to apply. Their next court appearance for arraignment is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Aug. 11.

Mary Brown, 36, of Long Beach, Calif., and Elizabeth Jones, 25, of Cleveland, Ohio, have had their bond set at $750,000 for their part in smuggling nine pounds of methamphetamine along I-80. Robert Dyas, 36, of Long Beach, Calif., and Sherwood Lyles, 52, of Burbank, Calif., also face meth-related charges following the traffic stop by the Illinois State Police.

A neighboring school district, having recently closed, has 16 lockers to donate. “It’s free,” Skinner said. “Free’s good, so long as they’re not junk.”

OGLESBY — The state budget that survived a veto from Gov. Bruce Rauner will bring financial assurances to Illinois Valley Community College after more than two years of uncertainty, IVCC President Jerry Corcoran told the board July 13. “What I’m most pleased with is it brings stability and predictability to the picture by providing supplemental funding as we close out last fiscal year – including our commitment to assist MAP-eligible students,” Corcoran said. “And although this year’s appropriation is down 10 percent across the board for all colleges and universities, we will plan accordingly based on what we know, versus being left hanging in the surreal world of the unknown, which has been the case for the last 700-plus days,” he added. Corcoran credited the college community for remaining optimistic throughout the prolonged stalemate. “Our students, faculty, staff and board have all handled this unfortunate problem well, without anyone overreacting to a very difficult situation. Similar to what one of IVCC’s state representatives Bob Pritchard (R-Hinckley) said when commenting on why he voted for the budget, I too believe this is what we needed to turn things around and help stabilize enrollment,” Corcoran said. The college expects to be reimbursed for MAP payments it fronted to students in 2016-17 including $307,706.92 for the fall semester alone. In other business, the board approved a tentative 2018 budget totaling more than $31 million. Revenue for all funds is $31,208,559, a 5.1 percent decrease from 2017 and expenditures are $31,850,619, a 5.1 percent decrease. Operating budget revenue is $21,354,944, a 3.1 percent decrease from the previous year. Expenditures are $21,431,044, a 3.8 percent decrease. To balance operating funds, there will be a transfer of $87,000 from auxiliary funds for IT infrastructure. Trustees also approved naming an open “pre-function” area near the Cultural Centre and a pair of adjacent conference rooms for donor and alumnus Ralph Scriba of Palos Verdes Peninsula, Calif. Scriba’s recent $50,000 donation for agriculture scholarships and instruction-
al equipment put his total donations at $250,000, since he began giving to IVCC in 2013. Scriba graduated from IVCC predecessor LaSalle-Peru-Oglesby Junior College in 1951 and was inducted into the IVCCLPO Hall of Fame in 2015. “With the most recent donation, Scriba qualifies for a new level of recognition based on the naming rights policy,” said Corcoran. The pre-function area and CTC124 and 125 will be named “The Ralph Scriba Conference Center.” A formal naming ceremony is planned for the fall semester. Trustees also approved: • The appointment of Bonnie Campbell as Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs until Deborah Anderson returns. Campbell is the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs. • The appointment of nursing instructor Maddalena Alfano, a part-time instructor in the program and a former clinical education, clinical educator scholar and registered nurse at St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria. • An intergovernmental agreement to continue allowing Lake Land College of Mattoon to provide classes at Sheridan Correctional Center which lies in IVCC’s district. • An intergovernmental agreement with the city of Streator for two new TIF districts. • The renewal from Guarantee Trust Life for student athletic insurance with 1st Agency for $35,460 and the renewal from Axis Insurance for student athletic catastrophic insurance from Ramza Insurance Group for $3,251. • The printing of an enrollment driver magazine by United Graphics of Mattoon for $10,430. The magazine will be mailed to approximately 29,000 district residents in November and April to spur enrollment. • The final year of a five-year contract with Blackboard for $76,384. The contract includes Blackboard Learning Management System (LMS) software, managed hosting and additional storage. • Seeking proposals for a website content management system (CMS). “Our web presence is the most important tool we have to reinforce our brand and is the gateway for many community members,” said Corcoran. “With approximately 3.9 million page views in the last year, creating a positive, dynamic site is essential to building our brand and serving our constituents.”

Red, yellow or green — where do you live? Another school year has come and gone — it all goes by so rapidly. Grandson No. 1, Jon, will be entering junior high next school year. Jon — with his ready smile and his love of life. That time has definitely sped by like lightning. Grandson No. 2, Brady, had a great year at school, and he will already be in third grade next year. He is so smart, so clever and so quick with an 8-year old’s wit. And then there is Cole, Grandson No. 3. Cole finished his first year of preschool this year. He is 4 and will be in preschool again next Nita Wyatt year. The changes COMMENTARY he made during this first year of “school” were many. I have gained a real appreciation for the individuals who are in charge of preschool classrooms. Teaching and supervising one group of 19 to 20, 3, 4 and 5 year olds for the morning and then another group of the same age group in the afternoon, I would think, could be a daunting task. The preschool teacher and helpers I came in contact with this year always seemed to have a smile on their face and truly cared about their little charges. My hat definitely comes off for them. Cole’s preschool had a pretty simple to understand disciplinary approach for these young preschoolers. It was a green, yellow and red program. By that I mean, every student started off on a green light for the day. If the student followed directions, did what was asked, etc. the student stayed on “green.” Moving to yellow meant the student didn’t do some of the things asked of them or talked too much during class. Landing on red, I presume meant the child was disruptive and out-of-control. Green, yellow and red. Simple for a preschooler to understand. Most days, as my husband or I picked Cole up from school, we would ask him if he stayed on green for the day. Most times he would say yes. Occasionally, he would say the whole class got moved to yellow. Oops, a difficult day for the preschool teacher. Thankfully, we never experienced red. When I think about this simple manner of behavior control, I wonder what it would be like if we all lived our lives on the green, yellow, red scale? We all start the day on green. Green for go — go to work, go to school, go to wherever it is you need to be. Do your job; take care of your home; take care of your family; do your homework; do what you need to do. Be kind to those you meet; play fair; no cheating; no bullying; no hurting others. If you live your life that way, you are on green forever. If you don’t go do your job — whatever that may be, you don’t care for your family, you lie, you cheat, you are a bully, you definitely move to yellow. Not sure what kind of penalty there would be, but in my perfect world, just the idea that you were on “yellow” would be enough. I know, I know, I am making up my own dream world — it works in preschool. What moves you to red? All the crimes we read in the newspapers and all the things we hear on television. The horrendous murders of innocent people, the crimes that are committed against children, the injustice suffered by many. Those will all move you to red. Once again, I’m not sure what the penalty would be at the red zone, probably as it is today — incarceration. It would be a perfect world if your own conscience would be enough to penalize you for your “red” activities. My dream world is far-fetched for sure. I would love to live in my make believe green, yellow and red world. I like to think I live my life in the green but I think my green slips to the pale side at the minimum and possibly into the yellow on occasion. I try. I try to stay in the green, but it’s not always easy. Sometimes my temper gets the better of me. I hate to admit that, but it is true. I heard a preschooler’s mother say to her young son one day toward the end of the school year, “Could we try to stay in the green today?” A good goal to live by, don’t you think?

Go figure — Out of my element I was knee-deep in a ditch of weeds. Clearly, it was not where I wanted to be. For a moment, I just stood there ... still and silent ... contemplating the what-ifs. What if there is a snake under these weeds? What if some little creature is living in these weeds and decides to run up my pant leg? What if large spiders are calling this ditch their home? I knew I needed to get from Point A to Point B by tromping through the weeds in that dang ditch, however, I wasn’t happy about it. I wasn’t happy about it at all. Carefully, I placed one foot in front of the other, attempting to part the weeds before I stepped into the unknown. I know I looked ridiculous, but I didn’t care. My heart was pounding. A grasshopper came from out of absolutely nowhere and bounced off my forehead. I screamed — one of those school girl shortened screams, but nevertheless it was a scream. Even though there was nobody around to hear me, I felt better ... Perhaps the sound of my shrill scream would send other critters skittering for cover. The bee that was following me (I think it was mesmerized by either my hair spray or my perfume) was creeping me out. While I don’t make it a habit of wearing either into the wilderness, that’s a whole other story. Still, I had to deal with the buzzing, the swirling around my head and the distinct possibility I could easily be stung. I attempted to swat at the bee — hoping to send it into the next county, however it
put them in a bucket and watch them for hours — the same kid who would catch a spider by one leg and enter it into a spider race with my other country friends. What happened? When did that little girl who embraced all the creatures of the world turn into a sniffling “woman,” who detests all those things that skitter, scamper and slither? I’m not sure, but I don’t know that it really matters. The bottom line is that I need those little insects, rodents and reptiles to stay out of my life. It’s just that simple. Isn’t it interesting how life changes you? My little girl infatuation with those little creatures has turned into a dreadful, awful scenario, complete with screams, tears and other elements of which I’m not very proud. Years ago, you should have seen my chaos when a huge spider built a web on my front door, and another equally large spider built another web on my back door. I was trapped. I think I might have even called in sick to work — which wasn’t a lie, since those spiders nearly made me sick to my stomach. It’s funny how we change as we travel through life. Even more interesting is the acknowledgement that we’re different than we used to be. As I’ve thought about this most recent episode in the ditch, I’ve come to realize I enjoy looking back to see who I was and what I’ve become — all the time wondering what changed me.

Terri Simon COMMENTARY
was relentless. Bzzzzzz ... While I’ve never been allergic to bee stings before, this would have been the most inopportune time, since I was miles away from civilization. Up ahead, I noticed the weeds moving. OMG! What the heck! My breathing got shallow, as I waited for some unknown creature to skitter, slither or scamper away. I could have cried, but it wouldn’t have done any good, since nobody was around to save me, much less hear me. I was out of my element. Yes, I grew up on a farm, but that was quite some time ago — OK, it was years and years and years ago. And since those long ago days, I’ve changed. That’s right ... I scream at spiders; I cringe at even the thought of a mouse; and snakes, bats and bugs send me into oblivion. Sorry Grandma and Grandpa ... but your little country girl has changed! Safely at Point B, in my vehicle and headed back to the safety of my insect-free home, I thought about my journey through the ditch, and I despite the horror of it all, I had to laugh. After all, I was the little country girl who spent hours catching grasshoppers — the same kid who carried around frogs and toads — the same little girl who would find baby mice in the granary and
TO Letter THE Editor
Three secrets To the Editor, The Catholic church has sinned against the secrets of Fatima and the consecration of Russia to Mary’s Immaculate Heart. It has been 100 years since Lucia, one of the seers of Fatima, gave the church these secrets. The first secret was the vision of Hell. And little Jacinta (after seeing Hell) would repeat what Our Lady told her to say at only 7 years old, “Oh my Jesus. Forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of Hell, and lead all souls to heaven especially those most in need of thy mercy.” The second secret was World War I would end, and a new and greater World War (World War ll) would begin when you see a night illuminated by an unknown light. Our Lady even stated the war would begin in the reign of Pius XI. Pius the Xi became Pope in 1922, five years after 1917 when Our Lady told Lucia these statements. Our Lady knew who was going to become the Pope, when World War ll would begin and even gave what his name would be. And our church became silent to such a miraculous statement, that Lucia stated. Shame. Shame. The last secret was so difficult for Lucia to write it took her a long time for her to write it. It dealt with serious consequences the church would have at the highest level, and it was to be revealed in 1960. It was given to Pope John XX111, and this secret was never made known. Shame, shame, shame.
When will the church proclaim Lucia blessed? The church has ignored her, silenced her and misrepresented her. And this injustice has to be corrected. The other two seers (Jacinta and Francisco) are already saints. In June 1917, at the second apparition, Lucia asked Our Lady to heal an old person in Fatima. Our Lady said he will be healed if he is converted. Then Lucia asked the all important question, Will you take us to heaven? Our Lady said, “I will take Jacinta and Francisco soon. (and within two years they are in heaven), but you are to stay hear a longer time. The Lord wants to use you to make me known and loved. He wants to establish in the world the devotion to my immaculate heart, and I promise salvation to those who embrace it and their souls will be loved by God as flowers placed by Me to adorn his throne.” Because the church silenced Lucia, she never really established in the world the devotion to the immaculate heart of Mary, so I ask that we should do what she was not able to do in the Memorare by adding ... Remember, most gracious virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession — and is now devoted to your immaculate heart — was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence ... Carlo Olivero Dalzell
