STARVED ROCK STATE PARK

Man dies after falling at Starved Rock

BY BRENT BADER Shaw Media A man, who was working as part of a film crew, died after falling 48 feet Oct. 19 at Starved Rock State Park.

Conservation Police Sgt. Phil Wire confirmed the death and said Conservation Police responded around 10 a.m. Saturday for a report of a man falling at Council Overhang.

Wire said the man, later identified as Daniel J. King, 30, of Bradley, and six others were given a permit to film at the park. The man left the trail to get on top of the Council Overhang cave to drop film “effects” by dropping something

from above for the video.

“Though they did have a (film) permit they do not have a permit to go off the trails,” Wire said.

A small tree broke during the fall.

King was not identified publicly by the LaSalle County Coroner’s Office until Monday, after Conservation Police had an opportunity to notify the family.

Utica Fire Chief Ben Brown said the fire department was called at 10:03 a.m. Oct. 19 for a report of a fall at Council Overhang.

Brown said crews still were on the scene just before 11 a.m.

Oglesby Fire Department and Wallace Fire Department also respond-

ed while LaSalle Ambulance manned the Utica fire station.

This is the second fatality from a fall at the park in 2019. The last death was in July when a man fell 31 feet off of a bluff behind Starved Rock Lodge.

Council Overhang is located near the east end of Starved Rock State Park, west of Illinois Canyon and near the Ottawa and Kaskaskia canyons trails.

The incident is under investigation by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Conservation Police Department and the office of LaSalle County Coroner William Wujek.

They might crack down on one, allow the other

BY STEVE LUNGER For Shaw Media LOSTANT — It was a night of much discussion and deliberation at the Oct. 14 Lostant Village Board meeting.

Among other matters, village attorney Kyle Stephens introduced a prospective ordinance regulating and governing junk yards.

This ordinance outlines licensure, disqualification, regulations and penalties and was presented as a way of dealing with board concerns regarding such a use of property within the village.

After much discussion, it was agreed to take up the matter again at November’s meeting, with a view of determining whether the proposed ordinance represents the best course of action.

Additionally, Stephens provided a synopsis as to how the new cannabis laws in Illinois affect municipalities: “What municipalities can do is regulate dispensaries and places where it’s grown, as far as through zoning and business regulation and with taxation up to 3 percent,” Stephens said.

“You can also prohibit growing and a dispensary. You can’t prohibit possession, but you can prohibit sale,” he said.

With this, Stephens asked where the board stood on this matter so

that he might be able to provide relevant guidance.

It was the consensus of the board that the village approve cannabis sales and reap the 3 percent tax benefit.

In view of this, Stephens will prepare pertinent ordinances for future consideration.

In board action: • The board approved a bid from Metropolitan Industries Inc. of Romeoville for a variable frequency drive pump at a cost of $19,551.

This pump is to replace the high-service pump that failed at the water plant and is expected to be an effective upgrade for water handling both now and when the new water tower becomes operational.

Mitch McCaw, water operator,

indicated that this new pump arrangement would not only save the village energy costs down the road, but would help reduce system leaks in that VFD’s tend to eliminate the pressure surges associated with water hammer.

• Also, the board approved the purchase of a Branson 3515 CH tractor from Bastert Farm Equipment in Camp Point at a net price of $6,500.

In this purchase arrangement, the original price of the tractor at $26,500 is reduced by the trade-in value of the village’s Case IH CX80 tractor, set at $20,000.

According to trustee Andy Forrest, this new tractor should be more operator-friendly and will likely not tear yards and streets as the village’s current model does.

Halfacre graduated from Indiana University with a degree in philosophy. He then applied to the

In an email to his fellow priests, Halfacre acknowledged the leadership role “is one of service.”

“Whether it is to receive the Sacraments, seek pastoral counsel, or simply learn more about the Faith, the primary way that people encounter the Church is through their local parish or through of the many places where you serve, such as our Newman Centers, hospitals, schools, etc. Parish priests are the face of the Church for the people we serve, and it is my great hope that I may be able to assist you in the good work that you do.”

WAGERING IN ILLINOIS 2019

Gambling statistics: LaSalle County is No. 3 in the state

County stays prominent in ‘video gaming’ rankings

BY BRETT HERRMANN Shaw Media LaSalle County moved up a spot in the rankings for top earning counties in Illinois for video gaming.

The Illinois Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability recently released its Wagering in Illinois 2019 update, which places LaSalle County in the No. 3 spot of Net Terminal Income per capita.

That means there was $321 of income earned from machines in LaSalle County for every one person in the county.

The county finished behind Effingham and Macon counties, respectively.

The time frame covers the past fiscal year, June 1, 2018, to May 31, 2019.

Last year, LaSalle County had the No. 4 ranking but surpassed Washington County this year, according to the report. LaSalle County was ranked fourth in 2017 and 2016 as well.

Bureau County ranked 35th in net terminal income per capita this year, up from 39th in 2018. Putnam County was in the No. 70 spot, up from No. 71 in 2018.

As for overall earnings, LaSalle County was just outside of the top 10 at No. 11, earning $36.6 million in fiscal year 2019. On the other end of the spectrum, Putnam County was in the bottom 10, sitting at No. 93 of 102 counties, earning a total of $900,000. The lowest was Hardin County with $200,000.

Who has the most machines?

While LaSalle climbed the rankings in revenue, it dropped in machines per capita. But that does not mean there are fewer. They are

just expanding at a slower rate than other counties.

LaSalle County ranked No. 4 with 0.93 percent of machines per capita, or about one per every 100 people.

Last year, the county held the No. 2 ranking, but with a lower percentage at 0.89 percent. This year LaSalle County sits behind Christian and Jo Daviess counties and last year’s No. 1 Washington County, which remained on top.

Bureau County came in at the No. 8 spot just behind Marshall County, and Putnam County ranked in at No. 15. Bureau County moved up from 13th place last year, and Putnam County moved up from No. 34.

As for the overall number of machines, LaSalle County ranked eight with 1,056 machines, Bureau County ranked 31st with 276 machines, and Putnam County was just outside the bottom 10 at No. 90 with 43 machines.

HIGHWAY SAFETY

Secretary Omer Osman.

“Most importantly, don’t veer for deer. While your first instinct when facing a deer in the headlights may be to swerve, doing so could cause you to lose control of the vehicle and increase the severity of a crash.”

Motorists are urged to consider the following safe driving tips during deer mating season: • Be aware of your surroundings and pay attention to deer crossing signs.

• Scan the sides of the road for eye shine — the reflection of headlights in the eyes.

• Slow down if you see deer. They travel in groups, so more are likely nearby.

• Prepare for the unexpected. Deer can stop in the middle of the road or double back.

• If a collision is inevitable, try to glance the vehicle off the deer and avoid swerving into the opposite lanes of traffic.

In 2018, there were 15,636 motor vehicle crashes involving deer in Illinois.

Of these, 14,998 resulted in damage to property or vehicles only, while 630 caused personal injuries. Eight of the crashes were fatal.

More than 40 percent of crashes involving deer in Illinois occurred in October, November and December, with November being the highest-risk month.

Rural environments were the site of nearly 90 percent of all crashes involving deer, with more than 70 percent occurring at twilight or nighttime.

For more information on how to claim a deer that was involved in a crash, visit http://bit.ly/DeerClaim.

To report possession of a deer killed in a deer-vehicle crash, fill out the form at http://bit.ly/DeerPossession.

The top 10 Illinois counties for crashes involving deer in 2018 were: 1. Cook 476; 2. Peoria 391; 3. Madison 377; 4. Will 374; 5. Sangamon 360; 6. Fulton 331; 7. Williamson 315; 8.

Rock Island 310; 9. McHenry 308; 10.

Kane 307.

Two arrested in Princeton on meth charges PRINCETON — On Oct. 15 at approximately 3:48 p.m., the Tri-County Drug Enforcement Narcotics Team (Tri-DENT) conducted a buy/bust operation on West Peru Street in Princeton.

During the operation, Tri-DENT agents

conducted a controlled purchase of approximately 1 gram of methamphetamine from Phillip P. Castelli, 36, of Tiskilwa.

Following the purchase, agents took Castelli into custody.

During the arrest, another individual, Paul C. Hayden, 36, of Princeton had more than 6 additional grams of meth-

amphetamine and drug paraphernalia that was located near him.

Both Castelli and Hayden were transported to the Princeton Police Department by Bureau County Sheriff’s deputies to continue the investigation.

Following the investigation, Castelli was charged with unlawful delivery of

methamphetamine, a Class 2 felony, and Hayden was charged with unlawful possession of methamphetamine, a Class 2 felony.

Castelli and Hayden are being held at the Bureau County Jail.

A Tri-DENT news release reminds the public that all subjects are innocent until proved guilty by a court of law.

SPRINGFIELD — With the onset of autumn, the school year is in full swing, pumpkin lattes are steaming — and Illinois deer are feeling amorous.

The Illinois Department of Transportation and Illinois Department of Natural Resources are reminding motorists to be vigilant during deer mating season as the animals become more active, especially in the early morning and evening hours.

“As the risk of deer-vehicle crashes peaks during fall, drivers can help ensure they reach their destinations safely by remembering a few important tips,” said Acting Illinois Transportation
