and there’ll be at least 15games over five days, mostly

at Cutter’s Grove Park.”Cutter’s Grove, on the south

side of town, is one of threePrinceville parks, along withStevens Square in the businessdistrict and Troutman Park –outside the village and run in-stead by a non-profit group onwhich Jeff also sits.

FARMINGTON – Not only is itpossible there’ll be no “Friday nightlights” this fall if the 10-month statebudget stalemate isn’t resolved byJuly 1. There may be no lights at all.

Farmington Central SuperintendentJohn Asplund is expected to notifyparents today (Thursday) of the direcircumstances Farmington and otherschools face, he toldthe Board of Educa-tion on Monday.

“I don’t thinkmost people knowwhat’s going on,” hesaid. “If the statedoesn’t have abudget next year – that’s July 1, rightaround the corner – [schools] will betreated just like everybody else [andnot receive funds]. We may be forcedto delay the start of school, operate ona reduced number of days, or com-pletely shut down.”

With a passion for art and a story totell, Kickapoo resident Nicole Black-burn knew right away what she wantedto do for her senior project at BradleyUniversity back in 2008.

Blackburn, who has a degree ingraphic design, decided to take thatproject and turn it into a children’sbook with beautiful, whimsical illus-trations and a message of hope andgenerosity.

The book, “Gypsy Giver and theThief,” is set in a fictional medievaltimes kingdom and tells the story of ayoung gypsy dancer who uses thecoins she earns to buy food and cloth-ing for the poor. The gypsy girl, Staciateaches an important lesson about giv-ing to a young thief in the story.

“The moral of the story is do untoothers as you would have them do untoyou,” Blackburn explained recently

during an interview at Ludy’s in Kick-apoo. “And I hope the colorful illustra-tions and message about the power ofgiving create a sense of wonder inkids.”

Blackburn grew up in Kickapoo andattended St. Mary’s School, where lastyear she had the privilege of sharingher book with the entire school duringa Grandparent’s Day event.

“It filled me with joy to see how en-tranced the kids were with the storyand how they interacted and respondedto it,” Blackburn said.

Equally inspiring was that many ofthe grandparents said afterwards thatthe message of the story was an en-couragement to them, Blackburn said.

While growing up in Kickapoo,

Blackburn, an only child, fell in lovewith stories, as her parents Gary andKathy Blackburn spent many hoursreading to her. Her imagination and

We Cover The News of West-Central Illinois With A Passion

PRINCEVILLE: New equipment at Cutter’s Grovethrough Illinois last year in memoryof his wife Peggy raised thousandsof dollars for playground equipmentand others improvements.

“We’d all like to see even moregoing on in our parks,” Jeff says.

The nuts and bolts of park opera-tions means maintaining buildingsand equipment, mowing and clean-ing, and treating trees for the emer-ald ash borer, Jeff says.

“We also have a big project start-ing after May 1 at Cutter’s Grove,”he says. “We’re going to add about$45,000 of new playground equip-ment and another $25,000 in im-provements like lighting, camerasand [remodeling] the restrooms. It’sa pretty major overhaul. We’ll addsome more next year if we need to.”

Already, Cutter’s Grove hostshigh school softball and youth-league baseball games at the tidy di-amond, where netting and moderndugouts were installed four yearsago, plus family reunions most ofthe summer, he says.

“We don’t have shelter housereservations at Cutter’s Grove,” he

says, “so there’s no ‘guarantee’; it’sfirst-come, first-served. It’s public,but everybody seems to get along.”

In the center of town, StevensSquare is anchored by a handsomegazebo that was refurbished in 2001and is home to Lions Club events,school activities and the PrincevilleCivic Association’s annual HeritageDays in June. Minor vandalism oc-curred a few years ago, Troutmansays, but new security measures areexpected to discourage mischief.

Just north of the city limits, Trout-man Park now has the new play-ground equipment, an athletic field,three shelter houses, and modernbenches along a walking trail that’sa sort of local spur to the 27-mileRock Island Trail, the state’s firstrails-to-trails park, passing throughCutter’s Grove, near Stevens Squareand past Troutman Park.

Troutman Park isn’t finished ei-ther, Jeff says.

“We’re adding security camerasthere, too, plus lighting and littlethings, like hand dryers in the rest-rooms,” says Troutman, who notes

that reservations for the main pavil-ion, which has power, or the twosmaller shelters, are accepted.

“We’ll have reunions and birthdayparties and wedding receptions,” hesays. “It’s $100, but you get $50back if you clean up afterward.

“Just call me or my wife, Amy,”he adds, smiling. “The more themerrier.”Next week: A look at the parks of

Farmington.

Quotable – “A long dispute means both parties are wrong”– Voltaire

Illinois Press Association Member

Rambling through central Illinoispondering the origin of sayings wetake for granted.

uuuLife takes you odd places. For in-

stance, Monday night found me sit-ting in the cafeteria at WilliamsfieldHigh School, listening to DebbieNewell discussing the very real im-agery of “running around like achicken with itshead cut off.”Yes, when youcut off the headof a chicken itwill run aroundif you place it onthe ground. Thattook me back todays in Iowa andGrampa Vic’schicken coop, in which hung a longsnare pole he used to catch dinner.Imagine a life spent staring at thevery item that will help bring aboutthe end of yours. .... Monday’schicken conversation came longhours after an early morning callerleft a message that said only, “Theearly worm gets the bird.” Yes, theMayor of Oak Hill shot a wild turkeyearly on the first morning of thefirst season of turkey hunting in theNorth Zone. ... Watching JordanSpieth on Sunday made me feel bet-ter about my knack for findingwater with a golf ball.

uuuSo what’s good to eat at the new

Corner Inn in Elmwood? Glad youasked. Putting this paper togetherlate at night always makes me hun-gry. Try the Pizza. Burgers. Onion

rings. And the tenderloin.Word is there will also benew, smaller chicken wingsin the near future. That’smusic to my ears. ... Speak-ing of eating, a quick stoplast week yielded a tastybag of popcorn atPrinceville Pharmacy.Asked if the popcorn wasas good as that at Sher-man’s Pharmacy in Brim-field, clerk Phyllis had animmediate answer. “Bet-ter.” Sounds like a chal-lenge to Brimfield’s title of“Best Pharmacy PoppedCorn in Peoria County.” ...I was bellyaching aboutweather recently when thenmy father, who lives inBuffalo N.Y., told me itwas snowing. Hard.“We’ve had more snow inApril year than we did inJanuary,” he claimed. I shutup. A little rain is almost welcome.

uuuMike Shissler of Elmwood often

has something he’s worked upabout. The latest was yet anotherbill in the mail to his mother Ce-celia for $0.00 – all stemming fromdental work done in December.While insurance will eventually paythe entire bill, the company contin-ues to crank out statements becausethey have not received money fromthe state. So in addition to having towait for payment, folks like thatdentist are continuing to paypostage on silly bills – some for$0.00. There are so many sad mes-

sages in that tale it makes my headache. At least Shissler didn’t haveto send off a check for $0 as he wasasked to do a few years ago in asimilar billing snafu. ... Yes, we willhave a poem each week of April.Any suggestions or personal fa-vorites? ... Circle the calendar forJune 11 in Yates City for the MyPlace St. Jude benefit. Start the bid-ding for rhubarb pie at $50. ... Part-ing shot: As Margaret Atwood oncenoted, “In the spring, at the end ofthe day, you should smell like dirt.”Why only in the spring?Contact Jeff Lampe at 231-6040 or

RainBy PETER EVERWINE

Toward evening, as the light failedand the pear tree at my window darkened,I put down my book and stood at the open door,the first raindrops gusting in the eaves,a smell of wet clay in the wind.Sixty years ago, lying beside my father,half asleep, on a bed of pine boughs as raindrummed against our tent, I heardfor the first time a loon’s sudden waildrifting across that remote lake –a loneliness like no other,though what I heard as inconsolablemay have been only the sound of somethinguntamed and namelesssinging itself to the wilderness around itand to us until we slept. And thinking of my fatherand of good companions goneinto oblivion, I heard the steady sound of rainand the soft lapping of water, and did not knowwhether it was grief or joy or something otherthat surged against my heartand held me listening there so long and late.

After columns about how wedealt with a bully during highschool, I re-ceived a bunchof comments (atleast two), aswell as requests(at least one) towrite moreabout “the goodold days” ofhigh school.

That the re-quest for more came from mygranddaughter Kelsey (who isnow a regular reader) did not in-fluence my decision to write morein the least.

A looming deadline and a severecase of writer’s cramp, however,did.

I ran around with a bunch ofguys in high school who weresons of professional-type people.Two fathers owned their own busi-nesses in town, another was a pro-fessor at a local college, another

was a doctor, and one a minister.Other professions included abanker, an insurance representa-tive, a pilot, and some other re-spected businessman types aswell.

In other words, none of us camefrom a “bad” family. We never didbad things that got us in troublewith the police.

Well, let me rephrase that...We never did anything that

could have gotten us thrown in jailfor any length of time.

Before we discovered girls (andafter that happened, one at a time,members of our “gang” began todrift away), we hung out togetheron weekend nights. As I said, wenever did anything to get usthrown in jail.

But...One of our guys was nicknamed

“Moose.” I think every generationof friends has someone namedMoose. He’s always the biggest(usually by far) and strongest of

the group. Our Moose got hisgrowth spurt in eighth grade,when he shot up to 6-foot-5 andabout 250 pounds.

He remained the same heightand weight until college, when hediscovered beer and added a fewpounds to his large frame.

Moose was as gentle as a kitten.Honest. He went out for footballin eighth grade and the coach puthim on defense. He made onetackle during the whole season. Ahalfback from the other team triedto come around the end on a run-ning play but found Moose block-ing the sun (or moon, or both).Moose tackled him and broke hisleg.

The following year, Moose wasagain on the defense and madeone tackle. Same team. Same kid.

Broke his other leg.Moose felt so bad about it that

he never played football again.There was an audible sigh of relief

More tales out of high school

JonGALLAGHER

We have a secrecy problem. Thismay seem odd to say during an erain which the most intimate detailsof individuals’ lives are on display.Yet government is moving behindclosed doors, and this is definitelythe wrong direction. In fact, I’mdismayed byhow often pub-lic officialsfight not to dothe public’sbusiness in pub-lic.

City and towncouncils regu-larly go into ex-ecutive sessionto discuss “personnel issues” thatmight or might not truly need to becarried on outside public view. Atthe state level, lawmakers exemptthemselves from public recordslaws, underfund public watchdogs,and exempt lobbying expendituresfrom sunshine laws.

Meanwhile, contributors to fed-eral campaigns increasingly man-age to avoid disclosure of theirpolitical activities. Government

contractors are not subject to mostof the transparency rules that affectfederal agencies. Federal inspec-tors general face constant efforts tolimit their access to records.

Routine information is classifiedand kept secret. Members of Con-gress increasingly rely on omnibusspending bills – which are put to-gether behind closed doors by ahandful of leaders and congres-sional staff with no public scrutiny.

Most notably, of course, secrecyextends to national security issues.There are some government se-crets that are necessary to protect,and a balance has to be struck be-tween protecting national securityand openness. But those who favorsecrecy should make their case inpublic and not rely on the oldadage, “Trust me.”

Openness is not a panacea, but itmakes good government morelikely. Representative democracydepends on our ability to knowwhat’s being done in our name. Wecannot exercise the discriminatingjudgment required of citizensabout politics, policies and politi-

cians if we do not know whatthey’re doing.

Nor is it possible to maintain thechecks and balances requiredunder our Constitution withoutopenness and transparency. Wehave to shine a bright light on theactions of public officials so thatit’s more likely they’ll act with in-tegrity. Justice Louis Brandeisgave perhaps the most famous for-mulation of this requirement in his1913 statement, “[S]unlight is saidto be the best disinfectant.”

But Judge Damon Keith of theSixth Circuit Court of Appeals putan exclamation point on the idea ina 2002 ruling that the governmentcould not carry out secret deporta-tion hearings without proving theneed for secrecy. “Democracies,”he wrote, “die behind closeddoors.”

Lee Hamilton is a Senior Advisor forthe Indiana University Center on Repre-sentative Government. He was a memberof the U.S. House of Representatives for34 years.

There’s too much secrecy in our government

GALLAGHER: Moose sprayed burger bitsheard from the rivalschool – as well as ourteam, which had to facehim in practice).

One evening, we werein a fast-food restaurantcalled Sandy’s. It wasthe forerunner toHardee’s and they had alocation on the east sideof town.

We were all in therestaurant when Mooseunwrapped his ham-burger.

The burgers weren’treally small, like thekind you might find at

White Castle, but inMoose’s meathooks, theylooked to be about thesame size as one.

Moose gathered him-self up to his full heightand announced that hecould eat one of thesepuny hamburgers in onebite.

We didn’t believe him,so he bet us.

All of us had to put upa dollar, and if he man-aged to complete thefeat, he’d collect a buckfrom each of us. If hedidn’t, then he’d pay useach a buck.

I knew he could do it.There wasn’t muchdoubt about that. But weponied up our cash any-way, and Moose set towork.

He crammed that ham-burger into his face witha ferocity seldom seenby humans. He keptpushing and shoving itdeeper and deeper andwith it about half way in,it did not appear thatthere was going to beenough room to fit theentire burger.

Moose kicked his ef-forts into overdrive. Iswear, he had hamburgercoming out his nose, hisears, and out of unusedpores usually reservedfor hair follicles.

His eyes bulged likethe burger was forcingthem out of their sockets.

All the while, he wasemitting this low, Nean-derthal-like growl thatwas attracting the atten-tion of just about every-one that was in therestaurant.

We were on the floor.Most of us had spilled

out of our seats and ontothe floor because wewere laughing so hard. This, along with Moose’sgyrations and sound ef-fects, attracted the atten-tion of the manager whocame over to our table toreprimand us.

“What’s going onhere?” he demanded aswe were trying to pull

ourselves back into ourseats.

None of us could an-swer because of thelaughter, so Moose, whowas too busy with an-other task to laugh, an-swered for us.

He sprayed that man-ager from waist to facewith bits of hamburger,which, of course, sent usinto even more convul-sions of laughter.

We got kicked out (ofcourse), and bannedFOR LIFE from therestaurant, which wasokay with us because,according to Moose, thehamburgers weren’t thatgreat anyway.

Although the chain haschanged hands, I’d bewilling to bet that mypicture, along with pic-tures of all my friendspresent that night, is stillhanging in that restau-rant.

BRIMFIELD – Maher Road be-tween Illinois Route 8 and Inter-state 74 last week was closedexcept for local traffic during amonth-long project to replace aculvert and do tilling, according toPeoria County Highway EngineerAmy McLaren

The blacktop will be closedfrom 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday-Fri-day, she said, and overnight clo-sures may be needed.

“When the cross-road culvertsare being installed, the road maybe closed overnight, and when thisoccurs, we will notify the public

with on-site message boards andthrough press releases,” she said.“The culvert and tilling work isexpected to take approximatelyfour weeks, weather permitting.The road will be reopened and re-main gravel until the surface isconstructed in June.”

The tiller, which is 8-feet wideand can go up to 14 inches deep,is to chew up the road to startresurfacing, she added.

“Our tilling operation, alsocalled road reclaiming, is like ahuge rotor-tiller,” McLaren said.“It is a process of grinding andmixing the existing road surfaceand base. Additional gravel is then

added to the existing material andall of the materials are compactedand graded.

“The process takes several daysand traffic is also used to helpcompact the gravel. Once thegravel is compacted, the road isgraded one more time, and sealcoating of the road occurs.”

The project’s estimated cost willbe $50,000 with the culverts, ag-gregate, equipment usage andlabor.

During construction, the PeoriaCounty Highway Department re-quests motorists find alternateroutes.

Maher Road mostly closed for a month

PRINCEVILLE – The VillageBoard on April 4 approved a planto spend about $85,000 in MotorFuel Tax funds to seal-coat severalareas of village streets this sum-mer, and will seek bids in thecoming weeks.

“It’s going to cover a lot ofstreets,” said Village president SidStahl. “We hope to get the workdone in late July or August.”

In other spending, the Board

OK’d purchasing a skid steer fromGerman-Bliss Equipment forabout $36,000. The New Hollandvehicle had been leased for sometime, and has about 500 hours ofoperation, but rather than continuethe lease, the Board voted to buyit.

“It’s a quality piece of machin-ery,” Stahl said.

The Board also accepted a bidfrom A & H lawn care to mowgrass at a cost of $750 per mow,which will include all 16 acres of

village property – everything ex-cept the three parks, which willcontinue to be mowed by PublicWorks employees, Stahl said

In other action, the Board• approved a temporary liquor

license for a May 21-22 event thatis being organized by the VFW,and waived any licensing fees, and

• renewed a building permit forDollar General, whose originalpermit expired in March.

pects districts to fully fundoperations, “that wouldmean a cut of over $4.7million to FarmingtonCentral,” Asplund said.

“We need to alert thecommunity to what’s re-ally going on,” he contin-ued. “I’ve been anadministrator almost 20years and never in my lifehave I thought we’d get tothis.”

Board President DakotaHorn also stressed the seri-ousness.

“We may not operate,”Horn said. “We’re gettingto that point. Theymoney’s just not thereanymore.”

In a related matter, abrief public hearing washeld as part of the authori-zation of working cashfund bonds to increase thedistrict’s hedge against fu-ture state funding short-falls.

“It’s just a response toGov. Rauner’s proposal toput a [property] tax cap ondistricts,” Asplund ex-plained. “That wouldgreatly impact this dis-trict’s ability to borrowmoney in the future. Thiswould give us the author-ity to borrow $500,000 in-stead of $26,000. We haveno intention to do it [but itgives] future boards theability to borrow.”

Money also was onBoard members’ mindswhen they discussed ac-cepting wrestling as aschool sport instead of aclub activity. The proposalwas met with appreciationand praise but also a meas-ure of caution.

During the public com-ment period, Mike Cecil,whose son Jonah wrestled,reminded the Board of theprogress Farmingtonwrestling has made sinceits revival in 2000 afterbeing dropped in 1994. Besides independent fundraising of more than$30,000 to pay for uni-forms, a new mat, tourna-ment fees, insurance andequipment, attendance atmeets has increased, 74students have participatedand 65 younger students

are now involved in akids-club spinoff – allwhile practicing on 45-year-old mats in unheatedspace in the old JuniorHigh school building fromNovember-February.

While not a takedown ofthe idea, reaction to theproposal authored byBoard member andwrestling coach RonZessin and Athletic Direc-tor Eric Matthews focusedon a projected annual costof $6,875.

Horn said he admiredthe program but added,“How do we add a pro-gram that needs money inthe [financial climate] ofthe state? It’s not a deci-sion to be taken lightly.”

Vice president WendyClark said, “Money needsto be discussed.”

In other news,• Steve Smith of the

Farnsworth Group, whichhas worked with the Dis-trict in a solar-power sys-tem that’s saved $57,009as of Monday, said a re-lated proposal to save anadditional $750,000 over25 years has to be post-poned because the state re-neged on accepting anapplication to the SolarRenewable Energy Credit(SREC) grant program,administered by the Illi-nois Department of Com-merce and EconomicOpportunity. Smith said he

was notified that the proj-ect was a winning bid onlyto be informed hours laterthat it was changed to alevel that wouldn’t supportthe proposal.

“I’m very disappointedon how the process wentdown,” he said. But“there’s another SRECauction in early 2017 withmore [funds] available,about $30 million – if thestate gets a budget. At thefirst opportunity, I’ll beback here.”

• The Board unani-mously approved curricu-lum revisions includingsix new 1-credit Agcourses for Juniors andSeniors, a 1-credit EarthScience course, a CivicsCourse the State recentlyrequired, and Western Civ-ilization and Music Appre-ciation as dual-creditcourses with Illinois Cen-tral College.

• Board member B.J.Oldfield proposed movingfunds from Heritage Bank,which is merging with

Morton Community Bank,to the locally owned Bankof Farmington, and theBoard by consensus askedAsplund to do so.

• An initial proposal fora four-week, half-daysummer-school programfor students at risk for notpassing was heard.* Students Emily Buster,Tommy Cook and LoganEvans spoke in support ofa voluntary student com-munity-service programoffering special recogni-tion to students who com-plete 100 hours ofcommunity service overtheir four-year high schoolstay.

• Resignations were ac-cepted from BrandyRichardson and KristiStephens, and the Boardapproved Josh Piper asJunior High administrator,Molly Schiller as special-ed teacher, Ashley Howardas early childhood teacher,and Michelle Reed’s leaveunder the Family & Med-ical Leave Act.

Continued from Page 1Some winners, losers in Rauner plan

Most local educators are suspi-cious of a proposal to fund schools atwhat state government calls its“foundation level” – the subjectiveminimum spending per student –since an overall budget hasn’t beenapproved.

However, even under Gov. BruceRauner’s plan, there would be losersas well as winners in the WeeklyPost area, according to figures re-leased Tuesday by the Illinois StateBoard of Education (ISBE).

“Three factors go into the currentschool funding formula,” said LaineEvans of the ISBE, “ – school enroll-ment, the number and percentage ofstudents in a district that live inpoverty, and the local resourcesavailable to a district based on prop-erty values. Any school that sees a

significant increase or decrease infunding from year to year can traceits situation back to the variability ofthose three factors.”

If Rauner’s proposal is enacted,General State Aid to local schooldistricts for Fiscal Year 2017 wouldbe the following:

• Brimfield $888,343 ($105,506less than this year);

• Elmwood $1,466,112 ($69,575more than this year);

• Farmington $3,501,485 ($17,200more than this year);

• Princeville $1,599,306 ($7,585less than this year);

• Williamsfield $146.426 ($8,627more than this year).

FARMINGTON –CRAVE restaurant, onevisible part of Farming-ton’s ongoing downtownrenaissance, has closedits doors.

CRAVE opened at 100E. Fort St. in the fall of2014 as one of severalbusinesses filling thevoid left by the closing ofMelgreen’s Furniture in2013.

CRAVE partners ChrisClardy and CharlesKillen didn’t respond torepeated requests forcomment, but on the daytheir restaurant closed,they issued a statementthat said, “CRAVE willbe closing its doors forregular business effectiveApr. 5, 2016… We wantto thank all of our won-derful guests, especiallyour ‘regulars’ who made

our time here in Farm-ington so memorable. Wewill miss seeing youevery week. We are espe-cially grateful to ourfamily, friends and em-ployees for their unend-ing support and love.”

Some say the shutdownis a reminder that therestaurant business is atough industry, and itcould be an indicationthat Farmington is satu-rated with dining estab-lishments, according toone longtime restaura-teur.

“In the industry, it’s ac-cepted that 80 percent ofrestaurants go out ofbusiness the first year,”said Patrick O’Brian,who operates WhiskeyDixie and the ParksideDeli in the building hebought on Cone Street.

“The second year, 60percent close,” he contin-

ued. “The third year 50percent. By the fourthyear, if you aren’t deadfrom seven-days-a-weekwork, you know youmight be OK.”

O’Brian spent 13 yearsworking with McDon-ald’s, ranging from ashift manager to an areadistrict manager. He tookover Kersh Café in 2012,the Uptown Café in Elm-wood in 2013, and heopened Whiskey Dixie/the Parkside Deli in Sep-tember.

“It’s all I’ve ever done.I started out washingdishes at J&J – now theVernon Street Grill,” hesaid. “From my corporateexperience, I know theindustry relies on the‘Food away from home’index. You live or die byit. It says that 20 or 25percent of people go outto eat. Farmington has2,000 people and count-ing nearby towns, there’smaybe 4,000.

“So that’s 800 to 1,000people. I figure there arenine [restaurant] choiceshere, so that means youneed 80-some peoplecoming in. That’s noteasy.

“CRAVE closing issad, really,” he said. “We

all compete, but we’re allpart of a sort of frater-nity, too. I know whatthey’re going through.”

Chris Clardy, who saidhe trained with the culi-nary-arts program at Illi-nois Central College,opened CRAVE in Sep-tember 2014, specializingin fresh pasta and pas-tries.

Farmington City Ad-ministrator RollenWright shared the feelingof regret.

“I wish it would’veworked out for Chris andChas,” Wright said,adding that the buildingis owned by the nonprofitFarmington BettermentAssociation.

“As far as the citygoes, we want to see that[space] filled,” he said.

The Association doesnot own the kitchenequipment, however, ac-cording to FBA treasurerDan Kiesewetter, and it’sunclear what will happento it.

As to what kind ofarrangement Clardy andKillen for the building inthe 18-plus months it op-erated, FBA vice presi-dent David Giagnonisaid, “Let’s just say theygot a good deal.”

WILLIAMSFIELD –Plans are moving aheadfor a proposed renovationof Williamsfield Schoolsthat could cost the districtas much as $596,000.

To some in the schooldistrict, building new sci-ence labs and offices for

administrators is welcomenews. To others, timing ofthe project is concerninggiven the uncertainty ofstate funding. Both opin-ions were voiced at Mon-day’s board meeting.

Williamsfield Superin-tendent Tim Farquer saidhe believes the time hascome to replace outdatedscience facilities.

“As somebody who isfrom here, I don’t takepride in the fact our sci-ence labs are 50 and 30years old,” Farquer said.“If we have the financialcapabilities to give ourkids a little space, I thinkwe should do it.”

Farquer said consolidat-ing administrator officesinto “vacant space” thatwas formerly a lockerroom will help improvesafety at the school. Thecurrent office is located inthe middle of the building,a situation Farquer saidcreates frequent confusionfor visitors.

But not everyone at themeeting agreed with thescope of the project.

“With all the crazy stuffbeing proposed by thestate, the board has to de-cide if that’s a wise busi-ness move,” said MaryBush, who served sevenyears as Williamsfield su-perintendent prior to Far-quer’s hiring. “I’mconcerned we’re going tospend all this money onan office consolidation,where there are multipleoptions to fix up the twoscience labs without doingthe office consolidation.”

Board member JeffMantei also expressed

concerns about financingthe project and aboutWilliamsfield’s cash onhand reserves.

Previously, Mantei saidthe school board had setas a goal having 360 daysof cash on hand. He saidthat number has been de-clining and could dipcloser to 250 days givencurrent spending.

“I don’t anticipate thatat all,” Farquer said.

The proposed construc-tion project includes$100,000 for creation of aSTEM center, $360,000for office consolidation,$20,000 for music roomupgrades, $3,000 for a for-eign language room up-grade, $35,000 for acamera upgrade, $60,000for work on the exteriorand a water main and apossible $65,000 in as-bestos abatement.

In March, the board-voted 5-2 to continuemoving forward with thebuilding project. Con-struction bids are nowprojected for June or July.

But preliminary work isalready underway, whichprompted some concernlast week.

Farquer said a portionof a ceiling was removedto allow for testing of as-bestos insulation aroundpipes.

“Rumors were circu-lated we were taking outasbestos, which we arenot,” Farquer said.“There’s not dust all over.There was no need foralarm.”

Calls by concerned par-ents did elicit visits fromthe Knox County Health

Department and the Illi-nois Department of PublicHealth. IDPH testsshowed no asbestos inplaster removed or inother areas tested lastweek, Farquer said.

In other action, theboard:

• Approved a Profes-sional Evaluation Plan toincorporate studentgrowth into teacher evalu-ations.

• Heard that the prom isApril 30 at Elmore StockFarms and that the GrandMarch is at 6 p.m.

• Approved two-year re-newals for sports coopagreements with ROWVAin baseball and softball.

• Set a base bid of$150,000 for the sale ofthe home built by studentsin the building and tradesclass. Bidding startedTuesday and ends in twoweeks.

• Hired Lori Collopyand Peajay Craig as full-time paraprofessionals.Collopy will work for theremainder of the schoolyear and Craig starts inAugust.

• Hired James Sams forsummer maintenance.

• Set the next meetingfor May 9 at 7:30 p.m.

After graduating a roster of impressiveseniors, the feeling was Brimfield-Elm-wood softball mighttake part of the season tofind itself as a team.

Not really.In the past two days

alone the Indians jugger-naut rolled over a pair offoes by a combined 29-1score. That brings Brim-field to 8-1 overall andan 18th-place ranking inClass 2A that could im-prove in time.

The most recent winwas Tuesday’s 10-0shutout of West Prairie.Alyssa Roll pitched a 1-hit shutout for the winand got support at theplace from seniors Mor-gan Ledbetter (3-for-4,home run, three RBIs),Kennedy Dura (2-for-3,three runs) and Allison Pillman (2-for-3).

That followed a 19-1 win at KnoxvilleKnoxville 19-1 on Monday.

“We scored early and kept it goingwith a lot of our players in on the hit-

ting,” B-E coach Kurt Juerjens said.Freshman Montana Ledbetter took

one deep, was 4-fo -4 and had six RBIs.Morgan Ledbetter also homered, going

3-for-4, and drove inthree. Dura was 3-for-3,and Pillman hit at a 2-for-4 clip. Not to be out-done was a 2-for-3 andthree-RBIs performancefrom freshman DelaneySmith.

On Saturday, MorganLedbetter pitched a no-hit, 12-strikeout, one-walk gem at home onSaturday in an 11-3 winover Havana. With herbat, she added a homerun, went 2-for-3 anddrove in three runs.

“Morgan was prettymuch untouchable ver-sus Havana bats,” Juer-jens said.

Along with Ledbet-ter’s pitching domi-

nance and her hitting line, the LadyIndians lashed out 17 team hits thataided the big final result. Roll was 3-for-4 with three RBIs Pillman went 2-for-4with two RBIs. Montana Ledbetter and

Elmwood boys win ICAC meet
