Groundbreaking takes place for Erie’s new elementary school

By SARAH FORD for Sauk Valley Media

An Erie School District project a few years in the making now is visible after school and village officials, board members and administrative and teaching staff gathered for the official groundbreaking at the Annex building Thursday, June 15.

The building on Fifth Street will be completely renovated and a new addition will be built toward Sixth Street for Erie’s new elementary school for students in pre-K through fourth grade. The modernized school will feature new classrooms, common space, library, playground and courtyard, cafeteria and kitchen, STEM, music and art classrooms, Tiny Town, gym, offices and more. Bray Architects designed the project and Estes Construction will be doing the work.

Board president Jason Norman said the process started a while ago and it’s exciting to see the project finally taking shape. “We’re happy and proud to be where we are,” he said while surrounded by fellow board members all with shovels in hand. They’ve had to be patient, he added, but they’re proud of the results.

Superintendent Chuck Milem said it’s an exciting time for the district, especially after a journey of several years to get to this point. Before lifting shovels full of dry dirt for the ceremonial groundbreaking, he thanked the board members, district staff, school principals and contractors for their contributions to the project. “We’re excited about the growth here. It’s

truly historic. It will positively affect the kids and the community for generations to come,” he said.

The Annex building will be fenced off around the parameters and off limits as contractors convert the building into the new school. Site mobilization and earthwork will be the first step this summer with an excavator already on-site. The project is expected to be completed by the 2024-25 school year.

Resthave hosts Father’s Day car show, cookout

celebrate Father’s Day with the residents and their families Thursday, June 15. Several car owners came to showcase their beautiful cars and a couple of motorcycles. Lunch consisted of grilled hot dogs, chips, pasta salad and cookies. Two grill sets and two car wash kits were given out to four lucky winners. Pictured are Greg and Mary Cravatta with Mary’s father Ray Dykstra. The Cravattas drove 85 miles from Genoa. Greg said he doesn’t usually drive the car that far, but the 1955 Chevrolet Model 210 was running great. Check out Resthave’s Facebook page for more fun pictures of the event.

By KATHLEEN A. SCHULTZ kschultz@shawmedia.com

URBANA – A Prophetstown anti-abortion activist indicted in federal court on one count of attempted arson pleaded not guilty and remains in custody pending further court proceedings.

Buyno was indicted in U.S. Central District Court on June 6 and pleaded not guilty June 9.

He has a pretrial conference set for July 31, via video, before Judge Colin Stirling Bruce.

A trial is scheduled to begin Aug. 15, but that date is subject to rescheduling, depending on how the case proceeds.

Whiteside Sheriff’s office begins July 4 safety campaign

The Whiteside County Sheriff’s Office will have “stepped-up” Fourth of July traffic enforcement with a focus on impaired and unbuckled drivers, officials said in a news release.

The safety campaign runs through the early morning hours of July 5 to encompass three summer weekends leading up to and after Independence Day.

The sheriff’s department will join the Illinois State Police and more than 200 local police and sheriff’s departments for the increased statewide enforcement effort.

The department offers these tips to help ensure a happy and safe holiday:

• Designate a sober driver and give them your keys before you go out.

• Don’t let friends or family members drive under the influence.

• If you are drunk or impaired by marijuana or other drugs, call a taxi or a sober friend or family member to get home safely.

• Promptly report drunken drivers to law enforcement by pulling over and dialing 911.

• Make sure everyone in your vehicle wears their seat belt.

June 19, 1963

Fulton’s five-digit ZIP code is 61252, Postmaster Maurice Wiersema announced. “Everyone in Fulton will use this number on all their correspondence to speed mail deliveries and reduce the chance of missed sent mail,” the postmaster said. The ZIP code is the post office’s revolutionary new system of improved mail dispatch and delivery. It goes into effect nationally July 1.

The Fulton Junior High and Grade School Board of Education received a report of the tax rates of the elementary schools in Whiteside County. District No. 111, with a tax rate of $1.388, ranks 16th out of 36 elementary school districts. Final reports and recommendations were received from the Faculty Curriculum committee and all but one section of these were accepted.

Spanish students of River Bend High School and adult chaperons left for an educational tour of Mexico. The tour is sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. Al Leemhuis, official chaperons for the trip. The tour was formed by students in Spanish classes. Students from Erie and Milledgeville also are taking the tour.

Because of uncertainty about the amount of state aid that may be available for local schools next year, the River Bend Unit District Board and teachers have agreed to postpone negotiations on a salary schedule for the coming year. Superintendent Leininger also advised the board that federal funds for a remedial reading program for the district had been cut from $18,800 last year to $6,800 for the coming year.

Fulton High School received a gift of almost 90 tons of coal as the result of a tip from a former Fulton graduate. The coal, property of National Manufacturing in Sterling, had been stored in a silo at their plant since they converted boilers to gas in 1967. They wanted to get rid of the coal and silo. Chuck Smith, a Fulton graduate, heard of this plan and contacted a teacher at Fulton High. Mrs. Senior passed the information on to Dr. Kinert. The coal arrived after a two-week discussion.

Russell DeWeerdt, an avid golfer, usually drives the ball straight and true. DeWeerdt had the distinction of making a remarkable hole-in-one, but instead of a round of congratulations, golfers had a large belly laugh. He was

taking a drive from the No. 2 tee and the shot headed straight for the No. 8 green. It rolled across the green and right into the cup.

A major sewer break is dumping about one million extra gallons of water into the sewage treatment plant daily. City Administrator Joe Woith said they knew a break had occurred because of the excess water reaching the treatment plant, but could not find the source. The source was identified, but it is hoped that repairs can be delayed until river levels recede.

A portion of 18th Avenue in Fulton will be replaced in the coming weeks. The repairs necessitated the removal of the roadway. Engineer studies are underway to provide new storm sewer catch basins and a completely new road. With engineers’ specifications, the road will be lowered from the present height to provide better drainage. The new road will stretch from Sixth to Eighth streets and will be widened from the present 17 feet to 25 feet.

More than 500 people attended Fulton’s inaugural Bluegrass Festival in Heritage Canyon. The event was fabulous and hands down a success. The event was the brainchild of Bob Whitten. He took the idea to the city and the city was on board immediately.

Beginning with the 2013-14 school year, the district will implement Common Core State Standards in English/ language arts and mathematics. Common Core State Standards, in simple terms, are “what” will be taught in English/language arts and mathematics. Because “what” is taught will be different, “how” it is taught and assessing student learning also will be different.

Four important numbers for your health are discussed YOUR

HEALTH

By STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D.

The field of medicine is obsessed with numbers because of the association of numbers with disease and death. The four numbers commonly cited for attention in medicine are blood pressure, cholesterol, weight and blood sugar. Recently, several of these numbers have come under scrutiny as to their actual benefit. It is not to say there is no benefit from paying attention to such numbers but rather that they need to be put in perspective.

The importance of blood pressure cannot be overstated as an important risk factor for heart disease, stroke and death. It’s so important that every individual should monitor their own blood pressure. This assists your medical provider from not under treating or over treating. But the notion that numbers between 120/80 and 140/90 should be labeled hypertension stage one is utterly ridiculous and not supported by good science. That range calls for an opportunity of increased

benefits from lifestyle adjustments that may impact our lives and save us from true hypertension and all of its bad outcomes. Of course, any such lifestyle adjustment will lead to an improved outcome for the individual.

The elevation of cholesterol as a risk factor comes through associations rather than an indirect risk factor.

The total cholesterol and the so-called bad cholesterol (LDL) is not a direct risk factor for heart disease, stroke or death. Oxidized cholesterol is the problem. People oxidize their cholesterol, contributing to a type of rust that deposits in vessels, when they consume vegetable oil in any form.

This includes self-cooking as well as dining out. Canola oil, which has been promoted by many, is a guilty contribution and not a benefit. Meanwhile, olive oil, coconut oil, macadamia oil, walnut oil and a few others do not oxidize the cholesterol and therefore are much safer. When your medical provider says you may benefit from medicine for cholesterol, ask them what

number is needed to prevent an event such as a stroke or heart attack for someone with your risk factors. Often that number is astronomical. Extensive studies have shown that the healthiest people over age 90 have the highest cholesterol.

Meanwhile, there are four contenders that would challenge the above for risk factors for overall importance. As important as blood pressure is, a number that has more influence on an individual’s longevity is total lung capacity. Therefore, measures such as exercise and, in particular, lung focused exercises can lead to an improvement in the value and in life itself.

The next nontraditional number we will address is total hours of sleep. There is a clear benefit for those who sleep seven to eight hours. I suspect the real benefit comes from reaching deep sleep. People with sleep apnea that is not properly treated have an increased risk.

A surprising number for risk is the

total number of friends that you have. To be sure this is an inverse relationship, meaning the more friends, the better. This does not refer to Facebook friends. In addition, the quality of the inner two circles of your friends matters substantially.

The final number of importance is the term heart rate variability or HRV. This number refers to the electrical difference between each beat and is determined in fractions of a second. It appears there is a competition between the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the rest and digest component, and the sympathetic nervous system, the fight or flight portion responding to stress and exercise. Both of these systems send messages to the heart in which the parasympathetic system tells the heart to be slower and the sympathetic system tells it to be faster. This turns out to be a very healthy thing and that fluctuation is a good sign. The good news is there are devices and apps to track this number.
