OK on federal aid

By Barb Kromphardt bkromphardt@bcrnews.com

Home and business owners in Bureau County can now apply for federal help in recovering from the torrential rains that drenched the county in mid-April.

On Wednesday, Gov. Pat Quinn announced Bureau and 13 other counties were approved for the aid.

These counties were added to the 11 counties already approved for federal aid last week.

“This action will help speed assistance to people who suffered flood damages and help them begin rebuilding their lives,” Quinn said.

The request for federal help was supported by damage assessment documentation that identified 14 homes in the area that were destroyed and 202 that suffered major damage. Thousands of additional homes were also affected by the floods.

The federal disaster declaration makes assistance available to flood victims, including grants to individuals and households to help with temporary housing, home repairs or replacement and other disasterrelated expenses, as well as low-interest SBA loans to residents and businesses.

Bureau County ESDA coordinator Kris Donarski was pleased with the announcement.

“We had so many people in our county with flooding in their basements,” she said. “Not just inches of water, but feet.”

To apply for assistance, residents should either register online at http:// disasterassistance.gov, or call the Federal Emergency Management Agency at 800-621-3362, or 800-4627585 (TTY).

PMH cuts women’s unit

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — There will be no more pink and blue booties. Proud parents and grandparents will no longer admire the newest addition to the family through the glass of the hospital’s nursery. The squall of a newborn brought into the world won’t be heard.

It is an end of an era at Perry Memorial Hospital (PMH) in Princeton.

PMH CEO Rex Conger announced Thursday the city-owned hospital will close its Women’s Healthcare Unit, which includes obstetrics, labor, delivery and nursery services. The expected closure date is Jan. 1, 2014.

The decision was not an easy or a quick one.

“We believe almost everyone recognizes health care is dynamic and constantly changing,” Conger said. “Health care facilities and providers across the nation are impacted by these changes and are attempting to adjust, so they can continue to serve the health care needs in their area.”

Three arrested for check cashing/burglary ring

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON – Local law enforcement agencies have assisted in the capture and arrest of three Waukegan men who were responsible for stealing, forging and cashing numerous business and payroll checks in communities throughout LaSalle, Bureau, Whiteside and DeKalb counties. The check cashing/burglary ring was internationally connected to financial crimes in Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Wisconsin and Illinois and were responsible for hundreds of thou-

sands of dollars in financial institution fraud.

Fernando Sanchez-Guizar, 38, was arrested on a federal fugitive from justice arrest warrant on the offense of bank fraud out of the U.S. Eastern District Count of Wisconsin. Nicolas Armando ChavezGarcia, 30, was arrested on a felony arrest warrant out of Maury County, Tenn., for theft (bank fraud) and Joel GaytanSandoval, 31, was arrested in connection with a burglary arrest warrant out of Williamson County, Tenn., as well as federal fugitive arrest warrant for bank fraud. All three subjects are currently detained in the Lake County Jail in Waukegan, pend-

ing extradition to their respective jurisdictions.

According to a press release issued by the Mendota Police Department, throughout March and April, the stolen and forged checks were presented to financial institutions throughout northern Illinois. The three men used fraudulent identifications cards from out of state to pass the checks.

Criminal investigations are still ongoing locally, and criminal charges are pending against all three men after each respective state’s attorney’s office is able to review each case, according to the press release.

Tiskilwa residents learn about new library addition Details reported on $1 million project at open house

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

TISKILWA — The history of the Tiskilwa Public Library will be restored as the current building is slated to be renovated, and an addition will be constructed onto the 105-year-old structure.

Architect Wayne Nowlan of ATSE Consultants of Peoria told about 20 people gathered at an open house Tuesday night the 3,800-squarefoot addition will be attached to the current 1,800-square-foot

library.

The addition will hopefully be enclosed

by November of this year, Nowlan said, since bids from contractors for the nearly $1 million project won’t be opened until May 30.

Nowlan said plans for the existing library to become a community meeting place will also include the removal of the current drop ceiling to reveal the original tin ceiling with ornamental period lighting. Also, the current non-operational clock and the bell tower on the library building will be removed during the renovation process.

Nowlan added there would be an interior ramp from the new addition to the existing library with an exteri-

or ramp located at the building’s north side for handicap accessibility.

There would also be two handicapped parking spots in front of the new addition that would be the main entrance into both buildings.

Library board members recently received word they would be getting a grant of about $500,000 from the Illinois State Library, with the remaining funds coming from about $265,000 in savings the board has accumulated over the years, and a $200,000 loan from a local bank to be repaid over 20 years. The final loan amount will depend on the best bid received from a contractor.

Rich Foss, library board president, said

board members are really excited about the addition because the process first began in 2001 to either build a new structure or renovate the existing building.

“We knew it would cost less to build new, but we didn’t want to abandon this historic building constructed in 1908,” added Nancy Johnston, the library board’s vice president.

The board purchased two lots to the east of the current library and removed two buildings on them to prepare for a new building. A referendum to issue $1.8 million in bonds for a new library was rejected in 2010 by the voters.

Board members were discouraged until the

summer of 2011 when Foss discovered the state was offering new construction grants for historic libraries that were more than 100 years old.

One of the stipulations of the grant application was that the library building couldn’t have undergone any major modifications to even apply for the construction grant.

Another requirement was the library had to own the property where the building was situated, which meant in Tiskilwa the village had to transfer ownership of that land to the library board in order to apply for the grant.

Even though the library board members knew in 2012 they would likely get the grant, they wanted to reduce costs for the project in order to have enough money for the local share of the project.

Tiskilwa Library Board members went to Toulon to talk to board members there, since a new library was built in that village for less than $1 million. As a result of this discussion, board members decided to hire another architect because the firm hired for the failed referendum had indicated they couldn’t reduce the costs for the project to less than $1 million.

Foss said Tiskilwa Public Library’s application was one of 15 libraries in Illinois to be accepted. There were 60 libraries who applied for the construction grants.

“It has been a long journey, but I am very proud of the board members sticking to it,” said Foss. He indicated former library board member Nancy Huber had also worked long and hard on this project.

Mayor disagrees with two-week delay $9,100 drainage contract with new engineering firm tabled

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Mayor Keith Cain verbally scolded four commissioners Monday night after they voted to table a drainage contract with Farnsworth Group to evaluate the sanitary and storm sewer issues in various parts of town.

The evaluation will include the recent flooding issues in the Dover Road/Euclid Avenue area and Greencroft/Metro Center area.

The cost estimate totals about $9,100. The engi-

neering firm would then make recommendation for fixes to the city’s sanitary and storm sewer issues in these areas of town, said Princeton City Manager Jeff Clawson. It would take 60-90 days to put together an evaluation for the permanent fixes.

Commissioner Joel Quiram said this was a huge issue for the city with many sewer lines in town being more than 100 years old.

Cain said delaying this drainage agreement would only delay the project that needs to move forward in light of the flooding around town in April.

Some commissioners felt the city had paid another engineer-

ing firm to study this issue in the past and paid for improvements that didn’t help. Commissioners Bob Warren and Ray Mabry said they wanted to get more information before approving the contract.

Resident Laura Favia said (during a public comment period at the end of the meeting), she has been waiting for five years for city officials to address these issues and felt waiting two more weeks to deal with the issue of changing an engineering firm wasn’t acceptable to her.

“Two hours is too long for me,” she said, indicating the delay may last another year or even two more years.

The vote to table the

contract was approved on a 4-1 vote with Cain voting against the motion.

In other business, commissioners voted to place a stop sign at the intersection of Dallas Street and Eastmor Drive and held first readings on ordinances dealing with registering kegs to deter underage drinking of alcohol at parties and establishing a social host liability laws to send a clear message to adults providing alcohol to underage youth isn’t acceptable in Princeton.

Princeton Police Chief Tom Root said these ordinances would make adults responsible if they served alcohol to underage persons

How to build a high school

By Barb Kromphardt bkromphardt@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY – In April, voters approved a $32 million referendum to build a new Hall High School just north of the current facility.

Now comes the hard work for the school board.

One of the first decisions the board has to make is whether to hire a construction management firm to supervise the project, or to go with a general contractor, who would be chosen by the bidding process.

At Wednesday’s meeting, the board heard more than three and one-half hours of presentations from six management companies who had several things in common.

All of them were located closer than the Minneapolis-based Kraus-Anderson Construction Co., which made a presentation at the May 7 meeting as the preference of the project’s architect, Healy, Bender & Associates of Naperville.

The companies stressed their commitment to put

as many local people to work on the project as possible, and a few companies even touted their close personal ties to the school and the community.

Pete Mangieri from Mangieri Companies of Peoria said Mangieri does the most work of any company within a twohour radius of Peoria. He said the company has done work totaling $137 million, and they have 15 more projects under contract.

Mangieri said a construction manager is not an extra layer but rather replaces the general contractor. He said a construction manager will give a proposed cost for the project, and then hold to it.

Andy Mrowicki of HR Green in Yorkville said he, Matt Jereb and Eric Carls were all from the Illinois Valley, and they looked forward to working alongside “friends and family.”

The company offers construction administration instead of construction management,

The board will meet at 5:15 p.m. June 5 to make a final decision regarding a construction manager. and Mrowicki said some of the benefits included independent oversight of the project and the lowest risk to the district.

Nick Papanicholas Jr. of Nicholas and Associates in Mount Prospect said 90 percent of the company’s annual sales were in the construction of K-12 Illinois schools.

Papanicholas discussed the two construction manager options, saying the construction manager at risk required his company to provide the bond, which made it easier for smaller subcontractors to bid on the project.

Several previous residents were part of the group presenting for Leopardo Companies of Hoffman Estates. President Rick Mattioda said it was good to come back to his hometown.

Mattioda said Hall graduates Tony Orlandi and Jason Samolinski would be on-site every day monitoring the project.

Derek Ward of Gilbane Building Co. of Chicago said his company is the largest construction management company for K-12 education in the country.

Princeton Tourism/Marketing Director Joni Hunt gave a presentation on some directional signs to be erected around town to give tourists an idea where the city’s assets are located. She said 30 signs, some small and some larger, would be placed around Princeton after permits were allocated from the Illinois Department of Transportation for the signs.

Hunt also indicated signs welcoming visitors to Princeton that are situated at the entrances to town would also be replaced.

PMH From Page 1 Conger said the past 10 years has been filled with many changes — most if not all affecting the facility’s bottom line. On April 30 — the end of the hospital’s fiscal year, PMH showed a year-to date loss of more than $640,000.

Regulatory changes, changes in patient volumes, payer mix and significant reductions in state and federal reductions are many of the issues which helped PMH make the tough decision to close the Women’s Healthcare Unit, which employs 12 staff members.

Conger said PMH is expecting to receive about $546,000 less in reimbursement from Medicare this year and about $600,000 less in state reimbursements.

“Perry is anticipating at least $1.1 million less in reimbursement during their current fiscal year, while trying to provide the same level of quality care and customer service,” Conger said.

In the last 10 years, Perry’s volume of deliveries has declined by 38 percent, with the hospital seeing less than 100 babies born each year for the last two years.

Half of those patients used Medicaid as their source of

payment; the state, which is significantly behind in the payment of its claims, reimburses PMH, on average, 17 cents for every dollar’s worth of care provided.

“The result is that Perry’s Women’s Healthcare Unit ... is no longer able to support itself,” Conger said, adding last year’s loss in the unit was $500,000.

Conger said the hospital is constantly looking at ways to create additional revenue and limit expenses. He said PMH is not looking at closing other units or limiting other services, rather “We are looking to add some new services that could provide additional volume and revenue,” he said, adding PMH’s Emergency Room will still be able to perform emergency deliveries.

Regarding the 12 staff members who work in the women’s unit, Conger said they will be able to apply for other positions in the hospital, and PMH will do everything it can to help those staff members through the transition.

“PMH is committed to continuing to provide the highest level of care and customer service to our patients, and we regret this change is necessary,” Conger concluded.

PRINCETON — It’s been at least 20 years since Princeton Elementary School District has raised its book fees, paid at the beginning of each school year.

• The 2016-17 school year will see kindergarten through fifth grade pay the $50 fee, with sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders paying $100. The program will continue at these rates henceforth.

Smith said at the end of the students’ eighthgrade year, the students will be able to keep their own one-on-one personal device. Smith likened that device to an iPad. Dubbed a Chrome Book, Smith said the Google device meets the needs of the students’

curriculum, including Internet and the ability to download apps. Smith also said those students who are eligible for fee waivers would still be issued their own personal device.

The board approved the technology fee increase.

My favorite story of all When I think back on my journalism career, the number of stories I’ve covered is overwhelming. Spanning the past 20 years or so, I’ve conducted thousands of interviews in and around Bureau County. Thousands.

Needless to say, it’s been very interesting, enlightening. I’ve learned so much from so many people. I wish I could remember every single person who has sat across the table from me and my reporter’s notebook, but when I reflect through the Terri Simon years, there are some moments that have etched themselves into my memory ...

• Interviewing Michael Jordan in the Chicago Bulls’ locker room.

• Countless representatives, senators, governors — even today’s president of the United States, long before he threw his hat in the presidential ring.

• Gallant people who have battled cancer and many other diseases, and sadly, just as many brave folks who have fought those same battles and ultimately lost.

• Superintendents, CEOs, mayors, board members, trustees ... and their good and difficult moments as they attempt to do what’s right ... in most cases.

• Winners and losers of every contest imaginable — both whose voices are important.

• People who are ecstatic about a particular event, and those who have been devastated by tragedy or loss.

• Storm damage, vehicle crashes, fires ...

I guess I could go on and on, and truly, I feel privileged to have been a part of these folks’ lives, trusting me to tell you about themselves.

But here’s the reason for this column: In my travels, many people will ask me what my favorite story has been throughout all these years. Which one has touched my soul and caused me to hold that particular interview close to my heart?

The answer is easy, and it’s the same response I give to anyone who asks. My favorite story? It’s any story that includes a U.S. veteran. Don’t misunderstand.

Those interviews are often the most difficult ones of all, yet when I leave the veteran’s home ... when I sit in front of this computer to write their story ... when I see that story on the pages of this newspaper ... my heart always skips a beat or two, a knot ultimately forms in my throat, and more than once, I’ve wiped a few stray tears away that can’t stop rolling down my cheeks.

Veterans’ stories are all very different, yet all the same. Usually, the veteran has no desire to chat with me, which causes me to gently urge the conversation forward. At first we talk about anything but the elephant in the room — his/her military service, but ultimately once that veteran feels comfortable with me, he/she will begin to open up. I know it’s going to happen because almost without exception, I begin to see a faraway look in the veteran’s eyes, almost as if he/she is revisiting moments in their own memory. If I’m lucky and on top of my game, that military person takes me along on the journey.

The words are real — often never spoken before.

They come slowly, methodically as the memories return. I’ve seen their eyes fill with tears, their chins begin to tremble. I’ve seen the proud men and women relive some horrific moments, in hopes I can capture their words to help you, the reader, understand.

Often, there are no need for any words or questions from me; their story from their perspective shouldn’t be interrupted.

And then it’s finished. The tears are gone, and the faraway look has vanished. We are back to the present ... and again, I am forever changed by the words of a veteran.

Monday is Memorial Day — a day to honor our fallen military men and women, each who had their own story to tell. May we never forget.

Thanks for our time together They are some of my fondest memories of growing up.

My family, which consisted of my parents, my sister, me, and for several years my grandparents, were not a particularly active bunch.

Oh, I remember a few summers playing Dad’s Club softball, and we were killer backyard croquet players ... but we were mostly a sedentary bunch.

Set us around a table with a deck or two of cards and games of 500, contract rummy, pinochle or — my particular favorite, Demon — would go on for hours and hours.

But probably our favorite activity was watching television.

Now as hard as this might be for some of you to believe, there used to be just three television stations.

And, believe it or not, you either watched a program when it was broadcast, or you waited and hoped for summer reruns.

My family, all six of us, would agree on a program and settle in to watch it together.

We’d laugh together and talk

Barb Kromphardt COMMENTARY together about the programs and the antics of the characters.

We’d watch Westerns and situation comedies together. And family dramas like “The Waltons” and “Little House on the Prairie” were big favorites.

And one of our all-time favorites, whether it was on at 9 p.m.

Saturdays or Mondays, or 7 p.m.

Wednesdays, was “The Carol Burnett Show.”

My gosh did she make us laugh.

Her and Harvey Korman and Lyle Waggoner and Vicki Lawrence.

Oh, and that Tim Conway! Boy, his old man routine cracked us up, right along with watching Harvey try to hold in his laughter.

I’m sure the adults in the room might have laughed with a slightly different perspective, but even the kids in the room could appreciate the comedy of Mr. Tudball and Mrs. Wiggins, or the soap opera

parody, As the Stomach Turns.

But the movie parodies were the best. Carol as Scarlett O’Hara in “Went With the Wind” with the curtain rod was hysterical, and my favorite was the take-off on an old Bette Davis movie I’d never heard of “A Stolen Life.”

Good old Pat commenting on how the foghorn called her name, “Hi, Patsy!”

It was recently announced Carol Burnett will receive the 2013 Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. She will join an illustrious group that Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby, Steve Martin, George Carlin, Carl Reiner, Bob Newhart and Tina Fey. I was glad to read the announcement the other day, mostly because of the memories it brought back of my family sitting around the old Zenith. Four of us are gone, and memories are all that I have left.

So thanks and congratulations to Carol Burnett. I, too, am so glad we had this time together.

PRINCETON — Each year the teens around the area look forward to attending their prom and, of course, finding that special dress.

Proms can be expensive and for many families in today’s financially challenging times can mean disappointment.

In an effort to help families deal with the high cost of prom and other fancy occasions, Amy Thompson, a member of the First United Methodist Church of Princeton had an idea.

She asked the Church’s Council on Ministries, “What if we ask for prom dress donations and sell them at affordable prices so that anyone who needs a prom dress could buy one?

The proceeds from the sale could benefit local benevolences who are involved in helping people.” From that inspired thought the “PROMise Sale” was born.

From June 2012 to March 2013 people donated their gently worn special occasion dresses resulting in 566 donated dresses by the day of the sale.

Shoes, dresses, handbags, and even wedding and bridesmaids dresses were on display the morning of March 2.

“Young ladies, their moms and boyfriends,

It was so much fun to watch and be a part of the excitement!”

Living Works Suicide Walk and the Princeton Ministerial Association each received a check for $657.40 as Thompson fulfilled her promise to use the proceeds to help the Princeton community.

“We are so very grateful to the following businesses for their incredible support and generosity of coupons: Bead Buzz,

Apollo Theater, Guys n’ Gals, Jillian’s, Habanero’s, Marien Mae, Designs by Liana Rae, Skin Dimensions and Le Soleil Tanning,” Thompson said.

“Also, gift certificates were offered as door prizes by Prime Quarter restaurant, Mark Allen’s restaurant and Skin Dimensions. The Closet helped the PROMise sale through the use of their clothing racks and Graphic Images of Princeton donated event T-shirts and banners. In addition to Liana Hall donating coupons for alterations she also donated her expertise for the day to assist the young ladies with fashion and alteration advice.

Thompson shared this story: “A young lady came in with her family. You could tell that they were struggling financially. The young lady was able to buy a dress, shoes and all of her accessories for $13.

Her face said all! She was so excited and beautiful.

That is why the PROMise Sale is so important, to give the dream of going to Prom a chance to someone who otherwise might not have the opportunity.”

“So, before you stuff that dress back in the closet never be worn again, donate it for the “2014 PROMise Sale”!

You never know, your dress may be the ‘one’ to make the difference in someone’s life!”

Brody Hall, originally from Princeton, recently visited the classroom to express his appreciation. Sgt. Hall, an Army Ranger, is a also Ranger instructor for the tactical mountain phases. Hall thanked the class for the cards and told them the soldiers really appreciated them. He explained the decorations on his uniform to the kids, where he has been in the world and what his jobs have been in the Army.

Students in the eighth-grade science classes at Bureau Valley North have been learning about echinoderms. The students were able to get their hands on a sea star, which is one example of an echinoderm, and locate both the external and internal parts.

Seneca Sectional: Beecher 5, St. Bede 2

Beecher picks off Bruins at sectional

By Kevin Hieronymus

“We did some things we haven’t done all year” • John Bellino, St. Bede coach

khieronymus@bcrnews.com

SENECA — The St. Bede Bruins had a great baseball season, winning its first nine games of the year, taking a 17-2 record into the postseason.

Thursday was not one of those great days.

The Bruins committed five errors in the field, had two runners picked off first base and two more runners thrown out at the plate, dropping the Seneca 2A sectional semifinal to Beecher 5-2.

“Got to give them a lot of credit. We did not play as well as we can, but we did not get the big hits today. We’ve been struggling with the bats lately, just didn’t seem to be in sync,” St. Bede coach John Bellino said.

“We had some chances early and just didn’t execute. We did some things we haven’t done all year.

The ones at first (base), I don’t understand. It happens. They executed.”

St. Bede catcher Logan Bima homered with one out in the bottom of the second to tie the game at 1, a blast well over the right field fence.

The next batter, Brandon Pietrowski was hit by a pitch and Jake Postula then hit a bloop single to load the bases with one out. DH Stephen Ebener forced Postula at second and was then picked off first base as the Bobcats escaped a bases-loaded jam.

In the third, Bobby Morrow doubled and Sam Lucas was hit by a pitch.

Brad Groleau lined a double off the Irish cloverleaf marker on the right field fence, triggering a Bruin relay around the bases.

Morrow slid in safely with Lucas on his tail. The Bobcats executed a 9-3-2 relay to gun down Lucas at the plate.

Beecher used another relay in the fourth, this one via a 7-5-2 connection, to throw out Postula at the plate after a double

by Ebener.

Bureau Valley’s Logan Hoffert (left) and Hall senior Landon Piccatto compete in the heat of the 300 hurdles in Thursday’s prelims of the IHSA 1A State Track and Field Meet at O’Brien Stadium in Charleston.

Hoffert won the heat with a time of 40.27, fifth overall. Piccatto did not advance. Hoffert also advanced in the triple jump and as a member of the Storm’s 4x400 relay. Finals will be held Saturday.

Hoffert batting a thousand

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

CHARLESTON – If Logan Hoffert was playing baseball, he’d be batting one thousand competing in the IHSA Class 1A Boys State Track and Field Meet.

The Bureau Valley senior went three for three in Thursday’s prelims at O’Brien Stadium on the campus of Eastern Illinois University, qualifying in all three events he competed in — the triple jump, the 300 hurdles and the 4x400 relay.

Hoffert will be joined in Saturday’s 1A finals, looking to make his way up to the medal stand, with teammates Ryan Taylor, Tucker Schoff and Daniel Trone in the 4x400 and with St. Bede’s Steven Gualandri in the 300 hurdles. Hall sophomore Al Baldonado will run in Saturday’s finals of the 3200 meters, which has no prelims.

Princeton’s Austen Stewart will represent Bureau County in the 2A finals competing in the high jump.

“It was an unbelievable day,” said Hoffert, who added he didn’t dream he’d make it in all three events. “I didn’t think I’d make it in the triple jump. I was just happy to be there.”

Hoffert was first in his flight and sixth overall in the triple jump with a personal best of 42-10 1/2 and won his heat of the 300

“It was an unbelievable day. I didn’t think I’d make it in the triple jump. I was just happy to be there.”

• Logan Hoffert, BVHS senior hurdles, ranked fifth overall with a time of 40.27.

He also ran the lead leg of the 4x400 relay that finished third in its heat with time of 3:32.11 to grab the ninth and last spot in the finals, just 0.14 seconds ahead of Newton.

All in all, a good day’s work.

“Logan being ranked sixth going into the finals in the triple is great.

He had a personal best and started his day off on the right foot,”BV coach Nick Hartz said.

“Ever since conference, I’ve just been going up,” said Hoffert, who had a personal best by five inches.

“I’m peaking at the right time, I couldn’t be happier about it.”

Hoffert’s 300 race, Hartz said, was a great one, despite competitors falling like dominoes around him.

“He ran smart and while he had kids falling around him, he stayed focused and finished strong,” Hartz said.

From Page 13 Taylor was determined to get the Storm’s 4x400 relay into the finals after missing out in the 4x800. It becomes the first relay in school history to qualify for finals.

“It was awesome to make it because it was really close. It’s definitely going to be remembered,” said Taylor, who ran the second leg of the Storm’s relay.

“That means so much to me. I know we were all so happy,” Hoffert said. “There’s been so many great relays in BV history. It’s an honor to be the first BV relay to medal. I’m just so grateful.”

“I’m so proud of all the boys. Just a great day,” Hartz said.

Gualandri placed second in the first heat of the 300 hurdles, sixth overall with a time of 40.42 to take his spot alongside Hoffert in Saturday’s finals. The best time of the day in the 300 hurdles belonged to Trenton Wesclin senior Jason Bliven, who clocked a 40.03 in the third heat.

Hall senior Landon Piccatto (triple jump, 300 hurdles) failed to advance as did Bureau Valley senior Kristian Konneck (200).

Bureau County Republican • bcrnews.com

2A prelims: Princeton’s Stewart was one of 14 competitors in 2A to clear 6-3 in the high jump, to advance to Saturday’s finals. The top nine will be medal.

Stewart placed fourth in 2011 in Class 1A and is happy to get another shot at a state medal.

“I’m just glad to make it back here again and having a great time doing something I love,” Stewart said. “My jumps felt really good today and some of the technical mistakes I made at sectionals I didn’t make today and I’m just hoping that continues (Saturday.”

“What a great accomplishment. It was like 9 o’clock and he was already in the finals. A big relief,” PHS coach Dan Foes said. “We didn’t know what the height was going to be and it turned out to be 6-3, certainly a comfortable height for him. A great accomplishment for a great kid.”

Notes: When told he better medal to keep up with his sister, Lindsey, once again, who placed third in the long jump in last week’s girls State finals, Hoffert laughed, and “She’s a great athlete and I love her to death.”

Bruins

From Page 13 The Bruins base-running woes continued in the fifth when Beecher’s Zach Aring used the ol’ fake to third, throw to first to pick off Groleau to get out of a basesloaded jam.

“Those are momentum killers and they give more momentum to us, especially when they have runners on third base,” Beecher coach Brandon Dubois said, noting Aring calls the pick-off plays on his own.

Beecher scored three runs on three hits in the fifth, helped by an errant Bruin pick-off play, to take a 4-2 lead. Third baseman Mike Pignatello had the big blow with a two-run double to chase a tiring Bruin starter Damin Smith from the mound. “(Smith) didn’t have his good stuff. Don’t ask me why.

He had plenty of rest. He was able to keep them in bay.

You keep a team to five runs you’re supposed to win,” Bellino said.

The Bobcats used three Bruin errors to add a run in the seventh to go up 5-2.

Down to their last out, the Bruins mounted a two-out rally in the bottom of the seventh.

Morrow singled and Lucas walked. When the count reached 3-0 on Groleau, Beecher coach Brandon Dubois elected to take the bat out of the Bruins’ No. 3 hitter’s hands. The intentional walk

“That 3 hitter, I thought he was pretty much on everything. I didn’t want Zach to lay one down the middle that he turns on it, maybe he hits a double and two runs score,” Dubois said. “I felt the hitter behind him wasn’t as strong and I decided to put him on, especially when it’s 3-0. I was debating on it when he started the at-bat, but once it got 3-0 I put them on.”

With the loss, the Bruins end their season at 19-3, ending a successful run for the seniors who left their mark on the Bruins’ program. St. Bede will return just two juniors from this year’s team.

“Great season, great bunch of kids. Great seniors. We’re going to miss them,” Bellino said. “Obviously we don’t have

too many coming back. Some of the seniors, been with me three years, some of them for two years. They’ve been a good bunch.”

Beecher evened its record to .500 at 14-14, awaiting the winner of Friday’s semifinal between Chicago Christian and El Paso-Gridley in Saturday’s finals.

“At this point records are out the window. We’re what 3-0 now, 3-0,” said Dubois, adding it feels surreal to reach the sectional finals.

• Notes: Spring Valley native Ken Colmone, a 1981 graduate of Hall High School, is the head coach at El PasoGridley, who faced Chicago Christian in Friday’s sectional semifinal. His Comets handed St. Bede its first loss (5-4) of the year on April 22. Colmone guided the Comets golf team to a state runner-up finish last fall.

The Putnam County baseball and softball teams will play for a double play Saturday. Both have reached the Sweet 16 and will play in Saturday’s sectional finals.

Source of Drinking Water

NOTICE SPRING VALLEY RESIDENTS

Based on information obtained in a Well Site Survey published in 1992 by the Illinois EPA, several potential secondary sources with in 1,000 feet of the wells were indentified.The Illinois EPA has determined that the Spring Valley Community Water Supply's source water is not susceptible to contamination. This determination is based on a number of criteria including: monitoring conducted at the wells, monitoring conducted at the entry point to the distribution system, available hydrogeologic data on the wells, and land use activities proximate to the wells..Furthermore, in anticipation of the U.S. EPA's proposed Ground Water Rule, the Illinois EPA has determined that the Spring Valley Community Water Supply is not vulnerable to viral contamination. This determination is based upon the evaluation of the following criteria during the Vulnerability Waiver Process: the community's wells are properly constructed with sound integrity and proper siting conditions; a hydrogeologic barrier exists which should prevent pathogen movement; all potential routes and sanitary defects have been mitigated such that the source water is adequately protected; monitoring data did not indicate a history of disease outbreak; and the sanitary survey of the water supply did not indicate a viral contamination threat. Because the community's wells are constructed in a confined aquifer, which should prevent the movement of pathogens into the wells, well hydraulics was not considered to be a significant factor in the susceptibility determination.

Hence, well hydraulics were not evaluated for this ground water supply.

ANNUAL DRINKING WATER QUALITY REPORT Source of Drinking Water

DE PUE IL0110300 Annual Water Quality Report for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2012 This report is intended to provide you with important information about your drinking water and the efforts made by the water system to provide safe drinking water.

The source of drinking water used by DE PUE is Ground Water

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pickup substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.

Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.

Based on information obtained in a Well Site Survey published in 1989 by the Illinois EPA, one "potential" source is located within 1,000 feet of the wells.The Illinois EPA has determined that the Depue Community Water Supply's source water is not suspectibile to contamination. This determination is based on a number of including: monitoring conducted at the wells; monitoring conducted at the entry point to the distribution system; available hydrogeologic data on the wells; and land use proximite to the wells.Furthermore, in anticipation of the U.S. EPA's proposed Ground Water Rule, the Illinois EPA has determined that the Depue Community Water Supply is not vulneraible to viral contamination.

It’s spring, and sign-up times are here!

Crop insurance and prevented planting SPRINGFIELD – Weather across the Midwest has slowed planting this spring.

For crop insurance, the final planting date for corn in most of Illinois is June 5.

The final planting date for soybeans in the upper third of Illinois is June 15. For the lower two-thirds of Illinois it is June 20.

Here are some basic guidelines for farmers unable to plant because of an insurable cause of loss by the final planting date. They may: • Plant during the 25 day late planting period. There is a 1 percent reduction per day of the yield guarantee.

• Not plant a crop and receive a prevented planting payment.

• After the late planting period ends, plant the acreage to another crop and receive a reduced prevented planting payment.

The most important thing farmers should do if they are unable to plant the crop by the final planting date is contact their crop insurance agent to review their policy and options before making a decision.

To qualify for a prevented planting payment, the affected acreage must be at least 20 acres or 20 percent of the crop acreage in the insured unit. Prevented planting is not available on group insurance policies.

Replant payments may also be available for land that was planted that does not have an adequate stand. Contact your insurance agent if you believe acreage should be replanted. The insurance company must give written permission to replant, abandon or destroy the crop.

Crop insurance is sold and delivered solely through private crop insurance agents. Contact a local crop insurance agent for more information about the program. A list of crop insurance agents is available at all USDA Service Centers or on the RMA web site at www. rma.usda.gov/tools/agents/.

This spring has been extremely challenging for farmers. After an early spring of significant rainfall amounts in late April, the rain has lifted (for now), warmer weather has arrived and planting season is underway.

With a later start than usual, farmers have been diligently working the ground and planting all day and into the night to quickly get their crops in the ground.

I know this time of year, especially now, is extremely busy for our producers. However, I would like to remind everyone that June 3 is fast approaching and is the closing date to enroll in the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program.

All producers may choose to enroll in either the Direct and CounterCyclical (DCP) Program or ACRE for the 2013

Justina Boggio COMMENTARY crop year. This means that producers who enrolled in ACRE for 2012 may elect to enroll in DCP in 2013, or vice versa. The deadline to enroll in DCP is Aug. 2.

If your farm was enrolled in the ACRE program for 2012, FSA-658 Record of Production and Yield form must be completed and returned to the County Office before July 15. Failure to do so may result in ineligibility.
