Peoria County’s District 16includes all or parts of Elm-wood, Logan, Rosefield andTrivoli Townships, and it’s oneof the few contested races inthe County.

Incumbent Brad Harding, a57-year-old Trivoli farmer andpart-time media consultant, is aRepublican who graduatedfrom Farmington High Schooland earned degrees from Illi-nois Central College and Illi-nois State University. Marriedwith three children, Harding

says he’s a Peoria CountyWeather Spotter active with theFarm Bureau and the TrivoliUnited Methodist Church. Hewas first elected in 2008.

Challenger Dick Burns, 67,is a Kickapoo farmer, cattle-man and Burrus Seed regionalsales manager. A Democratwho earned a degree from the

University of Illinois at Ur-bana-Champaign after servingin Vietnam with the MarineCorps, he’s married with onechild. Burns says he’s involvedwith 4H, the American Legion,the Peoria County Beef Associ-ation, and the Veterans of For-eign Wars.

The Weekly Post asked bothcandidates two questions. Hereare their responses:Question: Peoria County

faces an estimated $3.5 millionshortfall. Should HeddingtonOaks be examined as an expen-

diture that should be cut, orshould the County protect thehome as meeting one of theCounty’s expressed goals (pro-viding a safe and healthy com-munity, a healthy livingenvironment, a high perform-ing public organization andhigh quality public facilities).Harding: Neither. Peoria

County taxpayers own our $90million Long Term Care Facil-ity, Heddington Oaks, and wewill not pay off the bonds for29 years. It’s ours no matterwhat.


BRIMFIELD – A long drive is al-most over for several Peoria Countyresidents.

Peoria County crews working onthe Brimfield-Jubilee Bridge lastweek finished placing rip-rap in theditches and placement of the entranceculverts, and resident engineer Bill

Pearsall said he hopes to re-open thespan by the end of this month, de-pending on weather.

“It was a busy week on the jobsite,” he said. “They also completedgrading for the roadway and beganplacing the aggregate to pave theroad on.”

This week the contractor will con-tinue to place aggregate for the road

and possibly pave the road with as-phalt by Friday, he told The WeeklyPost.

“As we get closer to the end of thejob, there will be a few small items towork on after the road is paved be-fore the road can be opened,”Pearsall noted. “Again, thank you foryour patience and cooperation duringthis project.”

To the Editor:There are two referendum ques-

tions initiated by Peoria Countyon the Nov. 4 ballot, both which Iwould strongly recommend a “no”vote. The first ques-tion is the elimina-tion of the Recorderof Deeds positionand merging it withthe County Clerk’soffice.

At first glance, itmight appear to re-duce the size of the government.Think again. When I came on theCounty Board, we were almostbroke, having to borrow money tomake payroll. We reduced ourwork force to make budget andbuild our reserves.

Our employees all sacrificed in-cluding the Recorder of Deeds of-fice. Their employees were cutfrom 11 employees to 8 which isabout a 30 percent reduction.Those in favor of the referendumnow say we can eliminate theRecorder and Deputy – a 25 per-cent reduction – and still deliverthe same services. That is a pipedream.

This office brings in $2 millionin revenue annually and is recog-nized as one of the more efficientRecorder of Deeds offices in thestate of Illinois. Furthermore,other counties who have made thischange have saved little or nomoney and have had multiplerecording errors.

The question is, do we need anelected Recorder? The answer isabsolutely. I would much rathertrust the voters than put it in thehands of government. If the officeis running at its best, why changesuccess?

The other ballot question is theestablishment of a Peoria CountyBoard of Election Commissioners.For several years I have supportedthe elimination of the City Elec-

tion Commission and moving allelection services into the CountyClerk’s office, which would yieldtrue quantified county savings.

This referendum doesn’t dothat, and will mostlikely cost the Countymore money. Instead,it creates another layerof election workers,who have little to dothe remainder of theyear.

Furthermore, ourStates’ Attorney issued a memo tothe County Board that the fundingof this new Commission is unclearand two provisions are possiblyunconstitutional.

I would never vote for an initia-tive upon receiving that kind ofwarning. This is a watered downeffort of what the County has de-sired to accomplish and washastily thrown together at the lastminute in darkness.

All of our countywide electedofficials, Sheriff McCoy, JerryBrady, Johnna Ingersoll, SteveSonnemaker, Nancy Horton,Robert Spears, Carol Van Winkle,Elizabeth Derry and Tripp O’Con-nor sent a letter to the CountyBoard members urging a no voteon both referendum questions.Please join them and CarolTrumpe, Bob Baietto, Paul Rosen-bohm, Brad Harding and myselfin voting no and doing things theright way.

Chris Zimmerman was committed to ElmwoodTo the Editor:

I wanted to speak out on behalfof Chris Zimmerman. I found himenergetic and committed to mak-ing Elmwood grow and work.

I think we should all take a mo-ment to pause, reflect, and pray if

that suits your spirit. Often weallow the frustrations of the mo-ment to undermine the long-termfuture. If you are possessed of aChristian spirit then you will rec-ognize the need for a little graceand forgiveness at times.

In every disagreement bothsides will have a valid point ofview, and each side must compro-mise a little, if everyone is toachieve a positive result.

I am not directly involved inthis and I purposely avoid listen-ing to rumor milling. I do know inany personality clash, if you takethe heat out, a rational solutioncan be found. I think everyone in-volved needs to take the RedGreen pledge: I’m a man, and Ican change, if I have to. I wouldapply some variant for anywomen involved as well.

The Zimmermans are a fineyoung family and working in anew position where the roles andmethods of the position are stillbeing defined would be difficultfor anyone.

If you can’t pray at least medi-tate on having reconciliation.

Elmwood’s image is suffering;our community will not shake offbeing viewed as one whereparochial private interests are pre-vailing over the common good.

I would encourage all involvedto seek an outside and dispassion-ate mediator. Work out a plan ofreconciliation and Elmwood couldhave a long rewarding futureahead of it.

The first step is always the hard-est for all parties to admit theymight have reacted or behaved notin the best interest of the commu-nity.

Chili SupperSaturday, October 25th

I’ll admit that I had my doubtsabout the date, way before it hap-pened. See, my friend Soupy andhis wife Denise seem to think that Ineed a female in my life to makeme happy. Threeprevious at-tempts to set meup with blinddates haven’tbeen total disas-ters, in the sameway that the Ti-tanic had a smallleak.

Their latest at-tempt showed promise. Thewoman, a paralegal from theBloomington area, was anxious tomeet me. Denise had shown her myFacebook page so she could seepictures of me. Usually my face isenough to send most women in theopposite direction at a very rapidpace.

Not Linda. She saw what Ilooked like and was still interested.

The trio arrived at my apartmentmid-afternoon. We were headedinto Peoria for a meal, then amovie. Linda and I would have afew hours to decide if we’d like totry a second date. The first hourwould happen at my place as wegot to know each other with Soupyand Denise gently guiding our con-versation.

I’d seen her picture and she was-n’t ugly, and she wasn’t pretty. Shewasn’t even pretty ugly. She wasjust normal. I have never judgedsomeone on their outward appear-ance (when you look like me, youlearn not to do that real fast), butrather on their personality. I’ve al-ways done pretty well.

Denise would tell me later thatLinda didn’t like my stairway. I livein an upper apartment and there’s along, steep stairway to reach it. Infact, it became the first sign that weweren’t going to get along verywell.

Linda was quite cool when we

were introduced. There was a limphandshake – no hug, no kiss on thecheek, no other kind of greeting, af-fectionate or not, not even a smile. The first thing she seemed to lockin on was the tube that led from myface to a generator that sat on theside of the room, humming awayand supplying me with my much-needed oxygen.

The four of us sat around mykitchen table, and I served lemon-ade. Linda took a small sip (I thinkshe pretended) before leaving it.Pleasantries were exchanged andshe told me about her job with thelaw firm. When she asked what Idid, I recapped some of my jobs,but told her that I was now disabledbecause of the COPD and emphy-sema.

This didn’t sit well with her. Shedidn’t understand why I couldn’tstill go out and get a job. She madeit sound like I was on welfare.

Then she pointed toward one of

To the Editor:On Tuesday, Nov. 4, Illinois

voters will have a chance to casttheir ballots in the general elec-tion. In addition to voting for can-didates for national and statewideoffices, they will have a chance tovote for judges.

Learning about the judicial can-didates can be difficult, and all toofrequently, voters choose to skipvoting for these candidates ratherthan take the timeto learn about them.That’s unfortunatebecause judgeshave a huge impacton our lives. Theystrive to ensure thatthe law is fairly im-posed, deciding forexample who will have custody ofyour children or whether to punishsomeone who is convicted of acrime. The best judges are impar-tial, committed to public service,nonpartisan, empathetic, fair andextremely knowledgeable aboutthe law.

Thankfully, there are ways to

learn about judges running forelection and retention. Bar associ-ation evaluations and newspaperendorsements are reliable, inde-pendent and relevant sources ofinformation about the candidates’qualifications.

All candidates for Illinois judi-cial offices who won in the March18 primary election have beenrated by Illinois State Bar Associ-ation evaluations committees, or

in a poll of lawyersconducted by the ISBA.Results are available atwww.isba.org/judiciale-valuations.

In counties outsideCook, the advisory pollis conducted by mailand is sent to all ISBA

members in the circuit or districtfrom which a candidate seekselection. Licensed attorneys whoare not members of ISBA, or anyattorney outside the circuit or dis-trict, may request a ballot. Opin-ions expressed in the poll are ofthose attorneys who chose to re-spond and do not reflect the opin-

ion of the Illinois State Bar Asso-ciation or the opinion of all Illi-nois attorneys.

We urge everyone to review theratings, then vote for judicial can-didates who are truly the mostqualified. Download the resultsand take them into the votingbooth with you. Rest assured thatthe ratings will provide an excel-lent guide.

GALLAGHER: Magic skills failed to impressmy walls. I’ve covered it in postersand photographs of famous andnot-so-famous magicians. Some ofthe posters are autographed.

There’s a picture of me, my firstwife, my oldest daughter (less thana year old in the photo) and DavidCopperfield. I explained that I hadspent more than 40 years doingmagic and had at one time mademy living at it.

She waved her hand around to in-dicate my apartment and said, “Nota very good living obviously.” Shewent on to tell me that most guysgrow out of their “magic stage” bythe time they hit 16. After that, theybecome just “creepy.”

Soupy tried to rescue things bytelling her I had been recognized asone of the top sleight-of-handartists in the United States andasked if I could just show hersomething. She refused faster than Icould.

She made fun of my countedcross-stitch projects that I’m work-ing on. She made fun of the waymy place was decorated. She didn’thave anything nice to say at all.

I was proud of the way I held mytongue. Years ago, I would have

told her off and left little to theimagination. Now in my elderlyyears, I’ve become mellower.

Then she insulted my kids.She pointed toward a picture of

my three daughters. There’s a 20-year difference between my oldestand my youngest. She pointed thisout and blurted out, “I don’t haveany idea why you’d want to start allover again! I never would have!”

She asked me if my older twodaughters were embarrassed thattheir dad had become a fatheragain.

“Of course not!” I said. “Theythought it was very cool!”

I mentioned that my oldestdaughter and my wife had beenpregnant at the same time, at whichpoint she realized I was a grandfa-ther. You could see the color drainout of her face.

Soupy and Denise tried a last-ditch effort to salvage this trainwreck by suggesting that we takeoff for dinner and the movie.Maybe they thought that the moreenclosed space of their backseatmight be a more conducive atmos-phere for cultivating a friendship.

Ha!Linda gathered her purse and

said, “We can go like we planned,but I can tell you right now, therewon’t be a second date. How couldI ever tell my co-workers, espe-cially the attorneys, that I’m datinga disabled grandpa who has a 10-year-old daughter and still playswith magic sets?”

Game, set, match. Most peoplehave a thing in their brain thatkeeps them from saying things likeshe said, but hers was obviously onvacation. I told mine to take a fewminutes off as well.

“I’m not going to go,” I an-nounced. “It’d be a waste of time.Linda, you are possibly the mostshallow woman I’ve met in my life.I wouldn’t want to be seen withyou. In fact, when you leave here,would you mind slipping a bagover your head so no one will rec-ognize you coming out of myplace?”

A half hour later, Soupy calledfrom Peoria. They’d dropped heroff at her car after Denise had readher the riot act most of the waythere. They still wanted to buy medinner.

“After your performance,” hesaid, “we’ll take you anywhere intown or out. That was awesome.”

ELECTION: A plan for Heddington Oaks?The only sustainable solution I

see is to privatize the daily opera-tions. We own the building and wecan hire a private company to runHeddington Oaks, much like weown the Riverfront Museum andwe hire outside professionals torun that complex. This option helpsus reduce or eliminate ourworker’s comp and legal liabilityexposure.

It will also reduce or eliminateour pension obligations and putsHeddington Oaks on par with mar-ketplace costs.

This idea is not yet vetted andbefore I will endorse such a move,a thorough study and reviewprocess must be completed. But Ibelieve it merits immediate consid-eration.Burns: I do not believe funding

for Heddington Oaks should becut. I am proud that the Countyembraces the value in caring forour elderly population, and that theelderly are taking advantage of theservices provided by the home.

As Heddington Oaks reaches itsfull capacity and enjoys strong

management, it’s even more appar-ent that it is truly a communityasset for current and future resi-dents. Q: What do you see as the differ-

ence(s) between you and your op-ponent?Burns: I offer two qualities that

Peoria County’s 16th District de-serves in its representative on theCounty Board: (1) communicationskills and (2) leadership skills.

Throughout my life I have livedby the philosophy that communica-tion (both listening and speaking)is the beginning of understanding.My ability to understand what isbest for our community and pro-vide thoughtful comments to thediscussion is a much-needed andvaluable skill I will offer the Boardand residents of the 16th District.

Supporting my communicationskills is my leadership ability. Nowis the time for this community tohave a representative who will domore than speak about an issue,but instead will lead the discussion,build consensus, and create changebenefitting Western PeoriaCounty’s families, farmers and

businesses. I am the best person torepresent Peoria County’s 16thDistrict. Harding: I believe there are many

similarities between Mr. Burns andmyself as well as important differ-ences. We both enjoy family farm-ing as an occupation and way oflife. We both share the benefits ofmarried life and children. We bothcome from rural roots and under-stand the country way of living.

We both care deeply about ourCountry and County. And I believewe both possess a desire to giveback to Peoria County.

As far as differences, I have sixyears experience as a PeoriaCounty Board Member with an un-derstanding of the problems andremedies. I am a fiscally conserva-tive Republican. My re-electionrepresents a “Balance the Board”opportunity which forces biparti-sanship and breaks the one-partyrule we have had for a quarter cen-tury.

My re-election offers an oppor-tunity for a Republican BoardChair, which I believe will bringfiscal soundness and responsibility.

FARM & FIELD

As discussed in a recent column, Illi-nois farmers are on track to set new pro-duction records for this year’s corn andsoybean crops. That means we will see alot of semi-trucks on the roads haulingthe grain to storage.

Assuming one of the semi-trucks youend up following is hauling 850 bushelsof corn, it would takenearly 3 million ofthose trucks to haulthis year’s Illinoiscorn crop. Even themuch smaller soy-bean crop wouldneed about 700,000semis. So, expect tosee a lot of graintrucks on the road.

As good as the news of a record cropis, the abundance does present a prob-lem – where to store this year’s crop?The crop will be needed all year long, sothe abundance from harvest needs tofind someplace to spend part, or all, ofthe next 12 months, until the next har-vest. This could prove to be a challenge,particularly if the weather remains goodand harvesting continues at a rapid pace.

Corn and soybeans have two places tobe stored – on-farm and off-farm. Abouthalf of this year’s Illinois corn cropcould fit into existing off-farm storagefacilities – the grain elevators that markthe skyline of many small Illinois towns.

The other half of the crop could bestored on-farm, in one of the grain binssome Illinois farmers have near theirhome. And the remainder of the state’s

storage capacity, either on-farm or off-farm, could accommodate the soybeancrop. So, if all of the on farm and offfarm storage facilities were empty andready to accept this year’s crop, storageproblems could be kept in check.

But those facilities are not empty be-cause there is still some of last year’scrop in storage. So, taking into accountcorn left from last year’s harvest andthis year’s record crop, is there a storageproblem?

A recent report, from the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture, helps answer thatquestion. Nationwide, on Sept. 1, theamount of corn still in storage was 50percent larger than last Sept. 1, 2013.All states, in the report, had significantlymore corn in storage this year than lastyear except for one – Illinois.

While Iowa’s corn stocks increasedfrom 2013 levels by 30 percent and In-diana’s doubled, Illinois corn stocks de-clined by 10 percent – freeing up a lot ofneeded storage.

During times of huge crops and lim-ited storage, it is not unusual to see cornstored outside. In the past, you mayhave seen these piles of corn, after har-vest, around the state. For short periodsof time, the experts say outside storagedoes not hurt the quality of the corn.However, given the availability of stor-age, it is doubtful that much corn willneed to be stored outside. But there stillwill be a lot of trucks on the road, help-ing move the corn from the field to anew home.

Got corn? How about storage?

PEORIA – The Peoria CountyBoard on Thursday (Oct. 9) ap-proved measures offering cash in-centives to workers to voluntarilyretire by the end of next year aspart of a plan to tackle a $3.5 mil-lion budget shortfall.

Due to flat or declining propertyvalues and sales taxes, plus risingprices – especially personnel costs– County revenues are up about 2percent but spending is up 3 per-cent annually, according to CountyBoard member Mike Phelan (D-Dist. 9). Phelan chairs the Manage-ment Services Committee, whichrecommended the incentives to cut40 full-time employees.

With the absence of Board Mem-ber Carol Trumpe (R-Dist. 15), theBoard voted 16-1 on a voluntaryretirement package offering em-ployees $10,000 plus $35,000 for apre-tax health reimbursement ac-count to retire. The arrangement issubject to bargaining with affectedunions. Workers would have to de-cide between Oct. 22 and Dec. 8.

A second plan for a voluntary,unpaid leave of up to 80 hours totalduring a pilot program between

Nov. 1 and Aug. 31, 2015, alsopassed 16-1.

Weekly Post-area Board memberBrad Harding (R-Dist. 16) was theonly nay vote on those resolutionsand two others, saying afterward hedidn’t have confidence in theCounty’s administration.

About $2 million could be saved,according to County AdministratorLori Curtis Luther, who outlinedtwo additional steps: a hiring freezeafter vacancies occur and an out-side consultant’s recommendationsfollowing an evaluation of theCounty’s efficiency.

“Other methods to reduce theworkforce have not been dis-missed,” she noted.

Asked about impacts on services,Luther conceded it’s unclear.

“That’s a good question,” shesaid. “That should be incorporated[into future actions].”

Board member Andrew Rand (D-Dist. 4) added, “We want to beright-sizing government without itbeing a slaughter.”

To meet the remaining shortfall,the County may add $750,000 inrevenue by upping user fees, andthe Sheriff’s Office could generateabout $250,000 more by charging

more to hold federal inmates.The County Highway Depart-

ment also is facing a deficit of an-other $1.6 million.

The 2015 budget may be consid-ered at the Nov. 13 meeting.

In other business, the Boardvoted to:

• authorize the sale of re-fundingbonds to re-fund 2007 and 2008bonds, which the Finance and Leg-islative Committee estimates willsave the County almost $76,000;

• approve a $401,669 contractwith Crawford, Murphy & Tilly,Inc., of Peoria for preliminary engi-neering for Dirksen Parkway by theGen. Wayne A. Downing Peoria In-ternational Airport;

• name the County Jail complexthe George P. Shadid Law Enforce-ment Center after the former Peoriacity policeman, County Sheriff, andState Senator; and

• urge the Army Corps of Engi-neers and U.S. Environmental Pro-tection Agency to define “waters ofthe United States” in accordancewith recent U.S. Supreme Courtrulings, continue the current ex-emption for road ditches and ex-plicitly exempt green spaces usedfor storm water management.

Named as Citizens of the Year inElmwood were Pat McGuire,Diane Ladd and Denise Hotz.

The trio started planning forElmwood’s Strawberry Festival 26years ago and ran the annual Juneevent through this year.

“Our goal from the beginningwas to promote Elmwood andwhat we have here in this smalltown,” McGuire said. “It was a

labor of love and all three of us be-came very close friends because ofit.”

No new organizer has yetstepped forward to run the festival,though McGuire said the triowould gladly help anyone whovolunteered for the job.

A crowd of nearly 100 attended

the banquet. Proceeds will be usedto hire high school students nextsummer to work for the ElmwoodHistorical Society and the ECF.

WILLIAMSFIELD –The Board of Educationunanimously approvedestablishing a “Light theFields” fund after an Oct.8 Summer Ball Associa-tion meeting resulted inthat group’s donation of$500 to the school to starta drive to replace or erectlights on two of the Dis-trict’s three ballfields.

“We are currently ex-ploring a variety of op-tions to replace the lights

on the softball diamondand install new lights onthe baseball field,” saidSuperintendent Tim Far-quer. “The Ball Associa-tion is exploring the ideaof having a significantfund raiser this spring/summer and establishinga formal goal and time-line for reaching ourfunding needs.

“We plan to provide away for alumni to donateto the project online,”added Farquer, who saida vendor estimate will beused to set the goal.

In connection with thefields, two loads of ball-diamond dirt were re-cently distributed on eachof the schools’ fields. Mike Mackie volunteered

a day of service to spreadthe material.

Inside the school, theDistrict’s approach to theResponse To Intervention(RtI) and PARCC (Part-nership for Assessment ofReadiness for Collegeand Careers) was recentlyoutlined in Farquer’sshowcase piece, “A Voicefrom the Field” onwww.parcconline.org.The school’s implemen-tation plan stresses “giv-ing time back to kids,” asPARCC CEO LauraSlover said.

Farquer and severalteachers also recently at-tended a workshop onusing the new MentorMatching Engine, an in-vitation-based, web plat-

form that connects Illi-nois high school studentsand their teachers toSTEM (Science-Technol-ogy-Engineering-Math)professionals who serveas online mentors.

The non-profit IllinoisScience & TechnologyCoalition is behind theeffort, and Farquer plansto approach Caterpillar,Deere & Co. and othercorporations and univer-sities for involvementand possibly internshipsfor Williamsfield stu-dents.

Current and pastWilliamsfield studentsthis week are celebratingHomecoming, and Prin-cipal Zack Binder out-lined activities, includinga 1:15 p.m. Friday send-off assembly leading tothe 7 p.m. football gameagainst Princeville atROWVA, and whatBinder called an “eventday [with] a festive feel-ing” for Saturday:

ELMWOOD – TheCity Council at a specialmeeting Monday after-noon discussed immedi-ate plans to continuework formerly handledby Chris Zimmerman,fired as Economic Devel-opment Coordinator andZoning/Building CodeOfficer on Oct. 7, andalso to start evaluatingfuture staffing needs.

Water Committee chairJared Howerton (Ward 3)is calling a committeemeeting to consider ar-ranging for a temporaryworker to assist CityClerk Melissa Morriswith paperwork rangingfrom water departmentduties to building per-mits. They may have rec-ommendations for theCouncil as early as Tues-day (Oct. 21).

Meanwhile, EconomicDevelopment Committee

chair Jeff Lampe (Ward2) is scheduling a sessionnext month to addressongoing city issues rang-ing from the Revolving-Loan Fund and aproposed County Enter-prise Zone to whether ornot to revisit hiring an-other Economic Develop-ment Officer.

“For Elmwood to re-main viable, there has tobe someone to do thesethings,” said Dick Taylor,retired Administrator andEconomic DevelopmentOfficer, who was in at-tendance at the meeting.“It’s critical.”

Citing unplanned con-tacts from business peo-ple and planned worksuch as grant applicationsand construction engi-neers, Taylor said it’s im-portant that a cityrepresentative can bereached and not met witha promise to have a callreturned after City offi-

cials get off work.“You’d run the risk of

dropping out of the raceif you don’t have some-one doing that work,”Taylor said. “I don’t wantto see things slip back.”

This week, the ZoningBoard is hearing twocases, and Morris willrepresent the City and userecommendations pre-pared by consultant Patri-cia Landes from theMaurer-Stutz engineeringfirm from Peoria.

Steven Smith, director of businessdevelopment for Farnsworth Group,told the Board of Education on Mon-day (Oct. 13) that he has met with thecontractor the firm hopes to partnerwith to install the 2,600-module solararray, and that the bid came in “underexpectations.” He did not, however,want to make the contractor’s namepublic as a formal agreement had yetto be signed.

A groundbreaking event will be heldat 10 a.m. Monday at the school.

Smith said the equipment is set to bedelivered the following week, and, ifthe weather holds out, he hopes tocomplete the project before the end ofthe first semester.

The remaining $800,000 of the pro-ject’s cost will be bonded out to dis-trict taxpayers over the next sevenyears.

The board voted Monday to transfer

$1,692 from the working cash fund tothe bond and interest fund to cover in-terest that has accrued on the bondssince their purchase. An additional$733,000 transfer was approved intothe site and construction fund to coverthe district’s portion of the solar panelproject.

Smith added that word is circulatingto other Illinois schools about District265’s project, as he has had three dis-tricts contact him wanting to pursuesimilar grants.

“I think you’re really going to putyourself on the map more than you al-ready are” once this project is com-plete, he said.

In other business the board:• Approved the transfer of $67,000

to the education fund to cover futurenetwork switches and wireless accesspoints.

To the Electors of the State of Illinois:

The purpose of a state constitution is to establish a structure for government and laws. There are three ways to initiate change to the Illinois Constitution: (1) a constitutional convention may proposechanges to any part; (2) the General Assembly may propose changes to any part; or (3) a petition initiative may propose amendments limited to structural and procedural subjects contained in theLegislative Article. The people of Illinois must approve any changes to the Constitution before they become effective.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO SECTION 8.1 OF ARTICLE I OF THE ILLINOIS CONSTITUTIONARTICLE I – BILL OF RIGHTS

SECTION 8.1. CRIME VICTIMS’ VICTIM’S RIGHTS.

(a) Crime victims, as defined by law, shall have the following rights as provided by law:(1) The right to be treated with fairness and respect for their dignity and privacy and to be free from harassment, intimidation, and abuse throughout the criminal justice process.(2) The right to notice and to a hearing before a court ruling on a request for access to any of the victim’s records, information, or communications which are privileged or confidential by law.(3) (2) The right to timely notification of all court proceedings.(4) (3) The right to communicate with the prosecution.(5) (4) The right to be heard at any post-arraignment court proceeding in which a right of the victim is at issue and any court proceeding involving a post-arraignment release decision, plea, or

sentencing. make a statement to the court at sentencing.(6) (5) The right to be notified of information about the conviction, the sentence, the imprisonment, and the release of the accused.(7) (6) The right to timely disposition of the case following the arrest of the accused.(8) (7) The right to be reasonably protected from the accused throughout the criminal justice process.(9) The right to have the safety of the victim and the victim’s family considered in denying or fixing the amount of bail, determining whether to release the defendant, and setting conditions

of release after arrest and conviction.(10) (8) The right to be present at the trial and all other court proceedings on the same basis as the accused, unless the victim is to testify and the court determines that the victim’s testimony

would be materially affected if the victim hears other testimony at the trial.(11) (9) The right to have present at all court proceedings, subject to the rules of evidence, an advocate and or other support person of the victim’s choice.(12) (10) The right to restitution.

(b) The victim has standing to assert the rights enumerated in subsection (a) in any court exercising jurisdiction over the case. The court shall promptly rule on a victim’s request. The victim doesnot have party status. The accused does not have standing to assert the rights of a victim. The court shall not appoint an attorney for the victim under this Section. Nothing in this Section shallbe construed to alter the powers, duties, and responsibilities of the prosecuting attorney The General Assembly may provide by law for the enforcement of this Section.

(c) The General Assembly may provide for an assessment against convicted defendants to pay for crime victims’ rights.

(d) Nothing in this Section or any law enacted under this Section creates a cause of action in equity or at law for compensation, attorney’s fees, or damages against the State, a political subdivisionof the State, an officer, employee, or agent of the State or of any political subdivision of the State, or an officer or employee of the court. or in any law enacted under

(e) Nothing in this Section or any law enacted under this Section shall be construed as creating (1) a basis for vacating a conviction or (2) a ground for any relief requested by the defendant appellaterelief in any criminal case.

EXPLANATIONThe Constitution sets forth substantial rights for crime victims. The proposed amendment expands certain current rights:1) Victims are currently entitled to fairness and respect throughout the criminal justice process. The amendment would also provide that they shall be protected from harassment, intimidation and abuse.2) Victims currently can make a statement to the court when a criminal defendant is sentenced to punishment. The amendment would allow a victim to be heard at any proceeding that involves

the victim’s rights, and any proceeding involving a plea agreement, release of the defendant or convicted individual, or sentencing.3) Victims may obtain information about conviction, sentencing, imprisonment or release. The amendment would require prosecutors and the court to notify victims of those events before they happen.

The amendment would also grant additional rights to crime victims:1) A victim would have a right to formal notice and a hearing before the court rules on any request for access to the victim’s information which is privileged or confidential information.2) A victim would have the right to have the judge consider the victim’s safety and the safety of his or her family before deciding whether to release a criminal defendant, setting the amount

of bail to be paid before release, or setting conditions of release after arrest or conviction.3) The victim would have the right to assert his or her rights in any court with jurisdiction over the criminal case, but would not have the same rights as the prosecutor or the criminal defendant

and the court could not appoint an attorney for the victim at taxpayer expense.

The proposed amendment would not alter the powers, duties or responsibilities of the prosecutor. Further, a criminal defendant would not be able to challenge his or her conviction on thebasis of a failure to follow these provisions.

FORM OF BALLOTProposed Amendment to the 1970 Illinois Constitution

Explanation of AmendmentThe proposed amendment makes changes to Section 8.1 of Article I of the Illinois Constitution, the Crime Victims’ Bill of Rights.

ROSEFIELD – Township Road Com-missioner Matt Windish might feel thathe’s “damned if he does and damned ifhe doesn’t” after a third court actionagainst him was filed recently.

Unlike two previous lawsuits, whichclaim Windish did too much work onland adjacent to Township roads, the lat-est filing seeks a court order to makeWindish do more on a stretch of roadformerly maintained by Logan Town-

ship.James Michael Innes of Hanna City

on Oct. 1 filed a complaint with the Peo-ria County Circuit Clerk’s office alleg-ing Windish and Rosefield Township“has failed to maintain” an area ofGreengold Road north of Hanna City.

The filing claims “by agreement be-tween Logan Township and RosefieldTownship” the property “is to legally bemaintained by Rosefield Township,” butit’s “almost impassable,” deprivingInnes access to the property.

Innes is requesting the court directWindish to maintain the road to ensureaccess to the property.

Meanwhile, the head of the TownshipOfficials of Illinois says such legal ac-tions are unusual. “It’s certainly not acommon thing,” said TOI executive di-rector Bryan Smith. “It can become kindof frivolous.”

A hearing is set for March 2, 2015.Winter prep –After the usual seasonal

mowing, tree trimming and brush re-moval, township trucks are prepared for

snow-plow duties, reported Windish atRosefield Township meeting onWednesday (Oct. 8).

Also, a hoist has been upgraded andplans to install and clearing area culvertsis scheduled, he added.

Seal-coating throughout the Townshiphas been completed for the year, costingabout $80,000 out of Motor Fuel Taxfunds, leaving about $30,000 in reserve.

Meanwhile, trustees approved tradinga mower in order to purchase a newmower next spring.

Lawsuit filed against Rosefield Township for road maintenance

kids told us, ‘They’re big andthey’re strong.’ ”

Farmington also played withoutleading rusher and top defenderMax Balagna, who sprained hisankle midway through the firstquarter. He did not return and Val-las termed Balagna as “doubtful”for Friday at Peoria Heights.

“He’s a special player, but that’snot why we lost,” Vallas said.

Actually, Farmington moved theball well on offense without its topback, rolling to 198 yards rushingand another 165 through the air.Quarterback Steven Gilstrap had abig night, rushing for 46 yards andpassing for 120. And the Farmerswere up 6-0 early and within 14-12after one quarter.

“At times our defense was verygood, but there were other timeswe got ourselves out of position,”E-B coach Todd Hollis said. “And Iwas impressed with (Gilstrap). He

threw the ball better than I expectedand he can move.”

But while E-B struggled to con-tain Gilstrap and bruising fullbackKody Martinez, the Farmers couldnot stop E-B runners Layne Wyattand Donovan McCoy.

Wyatt ran for 214 yards on 16carries and gained another 84 on

four catches, two of which went forTDs of 35 and 23 yards.

McCoy continued his recent hardrunning with 111 yards and twoTDs on 22 carries.

Hollis credited both runners, butalso praised strong blocking.

“(Brad) Demmin and (Brad)Novak are the double team at thepoint of attack and I can’t tell youhow many times their man was 15yards downfield,” he said.

Hollis said playing a strong of-fense is helpful heading into Fri-day’s meeting with A-Town (7-0),which is outscoring foes 53-8.

“They have very talented skillplayers and run either a spread of-fense or a wishbone – a very oddcombination,” Hollis said. “(Farm-ington) gave us plenty to work on.”

The Farmers face an easier taskFriday at winless Peoria Heights,losing by an average tally of 52-7.TWP Picks: A-Town 36, E-B 35Farmington 55, Peoria Heights 6

Kyle Totton, ElmwoodElmwood High School tight end, cornerback,

small forward and centerfielder Kyle “Tott” Tottonis an athlete with constant positive energy that hasbeen very good for his teammates! When Kyle wasvery young, he always had a football, basketball, orbaseball in hand ... thus the be-ginning. His favorite part ofplaying football is receiving apass. When playing baseballhe most likes base running andwhile playing basketball hejust enjoys the game in gen-eral. But the commonality inall these sports for Kyle is thathe’s having fun and workinghard at practices and games.

“Tott” points to Coaches Johnson, Porter, and hisparents Frank and Donna Totton who’ve supportedhim in his stellar athletic career. When not practic-ing, competing, or studying his favorite subject ofchemistry, Kyle is watching sports or hangingaround with friends, including some teammates.“Tott” is a big U of Georgia football fan. He alsosupports the Bears and Bulls of Chicago. Bengalswide receiver A.J. Green is his favorite athlete.

Being the consummate teammate, Kyle’s biggestthrills have been contributing to three-timePrairieland football champs, the Trojans, and play-ing for the 2014 Regional Baseball Champs, the B-E Indians. “Tott” was honored as an all-conferencetight end for his junior season. He advises youngerathletes, “Never be content at your sport.” SeniorKyle Totton has too much energy to just be content!

Days several times, the 64-year-old country singer is re-turning to the stage Saturdayfor 6 and 9 p.m. sets in Brim-field, where he’s almost aswell-known as Elvis, youmight say.McDowell’s string of hit

records started with his 1977tribute to Elvis, “The King IsGone,” co-written withLee Morgan,which sold 5million

copies forScorpioRecords.

Now liv-ing in theNashvillearea, the Portland, Tenn., nativehad a dramatic rise in the

music industry. After beingmentored by country & west-ern stalwart Conway Twitty –with whom he did a duet onTwitty’s 1958 standard “It’sOnly Make Believe” – Mc-Dowell recorded for the Epic

and Curb companies, and he’sproduced more than 30 Top-40hits.

Besides the 1986, Top-10duet with Twitty, McDowellhas teamed up with Jerry LeeLewis for a rocking duet thatMcDowell wrote, “You’re

Never Too Old To Rock N’Roll.” But his own numbers arethe most memorable: “I LoveYou, I Love You, I Love You”;“Older Women”; “Personally”;“Wandering Eyes”; “You’reGonna Ruin My Bad Reputa-

tion”; “You Made A WantedMan Of Me”; “All Tied Up”;“In A New York Minute” and“Watchin’ Girls Go By.”Although McDowell is the

Melissa Frakes had aheart disorder requiringa defibrillator and sev-eral trips to hospitals,and Frakes said local firefighters, BYEAmbulance and neighbors were alwayshelpful.

FARMINGTON – The

Dan Meister was told by

areas,” Meister said

.

The old portion of th

building sustained th

e

most damage and w

ill

need to be entirely re

built.

In planning for the f

u-

ture, Meister says he needs

to figure out “how d

tie that in to the part

that

does not have to be t

orn

down. That makes it

a bit

difficult.”The cause

of the fire, as

well as the death of E

still under investigat

ion.

Cervantes’s body w

showed no sign of dr

PRINCEVILLE – There will be nocoin flip to earn a playoff berth thistime around. No need for that withthe type of suffocating defensePrinceville has played this season.

On a Homecoming night when of-fensive fireworks were few and farbetween, Princeville (6-1, 4-1 Lin-coln Trail) earned its first playoffberth in four years with a 12-7 winover slumping Annawan-Wethers-field (3-4, 1-4).

“Our defense is playing lights out,”said Princeville coach Jon Carruthers,who was in a deer stand when thatplayoff-deciding coin flip occurredfour years ago. “The monkey is offour back now, but we still want ahome playoff game and we’re stillalive for a conference title.”

With the win, the Princes kept alivetheir shot at sharing the LTC title –which could well be decided in twoweeks in a season-ending home gameagainst unbeaten Stark County.

More to the point, the victoryearned Princeville an automatic play-off berth and proved yet again justhow strong the Princes are on the de-


FARMINGTON – This was no game for de-fensive purists. But for pure offense, Friday’sshootout between Elmwood-Brimfield and Farm-ington was well worthwatching.

That was particularlytrue for fans of the Tro-jans (6-1, 5-0), whosefirst-string offensescored on all but onepossession in a 63-34win over the Farmers.

E-B racked up 371rushing yards and 462yards overall to clinchits fourth straightPrairieland Blue Confer-ence title and fifthstraight playoff berth.

The win also avengedtwo losses to Farming-ton (3-4, 3-2) last sea-son. In those games, theFarmers dominated theline of scrimmage. Not this time.

“They stuck it to us and we didn’t have an an-swer,” Farmington coach Toby Vallas said. “Wetried three defensive fronts and a lot of differentstuff. When we asked what was going on, our

GOLF SECTIONALS

Monroe makesstate golf tourney


PEORIA – Farmington seniorNate Monroe completed a light-ning-delayed, rain-marred sec-tional round of 80 on Tuesday atWeaver Ridge Golf Course toreach the Class 1A golf tourna-ment.

Trojans on Class 2A/3A bubbleWill Elmwood-Brimfield wind up

the smallest playoff team in Class3A? Or the largest in Class 2A?

Will Farmington win its final twogames to earn a postseason berth?

Will Princeville play a homegame in the first round?

All those questions and more areyet to be answered. But if the sea-son ended now, Princeville (6-1)and E-B (6-1) would be in the play-offs.

And after weeks of being listed as

one of the smallest Class 3A teams,the Trojans (enrollment 402) arepresently the largest Class 2A quali-fiers according to the Illinois HighSchool Association website.

“That happens a lot this time ofyear as the smaller teams drop out,”E-B coach Todd Hollis said.

The Princes (enrollment 237) areguaranteed a Class 1A spot. Farm-ington (3-4, enrollment 408) islikely to remain in Class 3A.
