QUIET TIMES IN THE PARKS

By BILL KNIGHTFor The Weekly Post

The Illinois Department of Revenueon April 19 said it overpaid taxing dis-tricts statewide by $168 million mistak-enly allocated from corporate PersonalProperty Replacement Tax funds. InThe Weekly Post circulation area,$134,300.10 was paid in error, saidIDOR.

“It’s BS,” said Kickapoo Road Com-missioner Dan Kelch, whose budgetwas overpaid $746.31, according to thestate. “One question I have: Are they

overpaying other vendors?” Most amounts are relatively small –

in the hundreds of dollars – but somedistricts face big repayments. In TheWeekly Post area, amounts the statesays it overpaid local government bod-ies range from $136.94 to Yates Cityand $185.94 to Brimfield’s SanitaryDistrict to $27,767.24 to FarmingtonCentral C.U.S.D. 265 and $33,971.63 toPrinceville C.U.S.D. 326. (See box,2.)

“I think this [shows] the state doesn’tknow how to handle their money,” said

Sid Stahl, Village president atPrinceville, which may owe $3,324.14,the state says.

IDOR, which said it discovered themistake after it implemented a new gen-eral ledger system, referred its findingsto the state’s Auditor General for verifi-cation

BRIMFIELD – Robert Richardsonwants to get acquainted.

Technically, Richardson doesn’t be-come the next superintendent/highschool principal for Brimfield Com-munity Unit SchoolDistrict 309 until July1.

But he wants tomeet teachers, stu-dents, parents and staffeven before thisschool year ends.Given the base inplace, he thinks thekey to future success will be relation-ships.

“Everyone has done an exceptionaljob,” he said in an interview with TheWeekly Post Monday. “There’s a rigor-ous commitment; they’re doing a lot ofgreat things. My goal will be to con-tinue to do those things and continu-ally add to them.”

He will get a chance to meet com-munity members on May 2 in the highschool gymnasium at a meet-and-greet

ELMWOOD – A Brimfield man and hisson walked away from a Saturday after-noon plane crash near Bell School andShissler Roads north of here.

Everett Brandt, 50, of Brimfield, and his11-year-old son Jayden were in a Cessna172B about 1 p.m. April 23 when the air-craft lost power after leaving the Tri-County Airport west of Yates City,according to the Peoria Sheriff’s Office.

It crash-landed in a farm field owned byKathie Hagen, and came to rest on its top.

Brimfield firefighters and B.Y.E. Ambu-lance responded to the scene, and theBrandts were transported to OSF St. Fran-cis Medical Center to be checked out, po-lice said. Everett, who was piloting thesingle-engine plane, had a cut to his head,according to police.

Brimfield firefighters disconnected theplane’s battery and stopped a fuel leak be-fore Dave Shipley from Tri-County Airportarrived to retrieve the aircraft so the FederalAviation Administration could investigate.

YATES CITY – The money islined up to make sure the Yates Citygazebo will stand another111 years or so. Thanks to acoordinated grassrootsfund-raising effort, organiz-ers of the Save The Gazebofund gathered more than$17,000 for work on thehistoric structure.

Some time at the end of June, Bal-agna House Moving of Farmingtonwill lift the gazebo and tear out theold, crumbling foundation.

After that, Dave Hall ofElmwood will lay a newblock foundation. OnceHall is done, and thegazebo is lowered, leveledand anchored, work willbegin on the structure it-

YATES CITY: Harvest Home Park a quiet gemself.

“We’re going to replacethe 4x4s that hold the ceil-ing up,” said Jim Ralston,a member of the gazebocommittee. “There mayalso be repairs to boardson the side and then we’llscrape and repaint.”

Plans also call for con-crete work around thegazebo and the installationof memorial pavers.

All that is possiblethanks to a variety offund-raisers, including lastweek’s sausage and pan-

cake breakfast, which net-ted close to $1,300. An-other big fund-raiser wasa chicken and noodlesdinner at Faith UnitedPresbyterian Church that

netted nearly $4,000thanks in part to a match-ing donation by ModernWoodmen of America.

“The committee is veryappreciative of everythingthat has been done,” Ral-ston said. “People realizedthis is a landmark forYates City that was worthsaving.”

As encouraged as Ral-ston is by efforts to restorethe gazebo, he’s not sothrilled with what’s beenhappening – or not hap-pening – at Yates City’sHarvest Home Park. Thepark is run by the Elba-Salem Park District, ofwhich Ralston is a mem-ber

A quiet gem of a parkon the south side of town,Harvest Home featurestwo pavilions, two sets ofplayground equipment, aquarter-mile paved trail, abasketball court, two balldiamonds with nice

dugouts and backstops, aBurlington Northern ca-boose and the old YatesCity depot, which doublesas a concession stand.

“And we painted thepavilion last year, whichreally spruced it up. But(the park) doesn’t getmuch use at all,” Ralstonsaid. “We don’t exactlyknow what to do there.”

Ball diamonds are sel-dom used, Ralston said, asYates City no longer fieldssummer teams. And Ral-ston said vandals havecreated problems by dam-aging bathrooms and at-tempting break-ins.

“We used to have a lotof teams back in the1960s and 70s when wehad the school here. Wealways had enough kids tofield teams,” Ralston said.“You lose a lot when youlose a school.”Next week: A look at the

parks of Brimfield.

Quotable – “I've searched all the parks in all the cities and found no statues of committees.” – Gilbert K. Chesterton

Illinois Press Association Member

Rambling through central Illinoispondering my late-night friends:words on a page.

uuuOver the past few weeks, we’ve

been running a series on parks.Along the way, I’ve noticed a dis-turbing trend. There aren’t manykids in the parks. Sure I see parentswith young ones, trying desperatelyto make the hours pass. Yes, thereare organized activities with adultstelling kids whatto do. But kids ontheir own, justplaying? Not somuch. Where arethey? How canweeds choke outball diamonds?How can basket-ball courts sitempty? And youknow my real worry – that the samewill be true when school ends.

uuuWell, I finally found value in

Facebook. Prince died, which is ob-viously sad. I’ll never forget playing“Darling Nicki” backwards on theturntable to hear Prince sing “TheLord is coming soon.” More to thepoint, the tributes that flowed afterhis death were wonderful. I agreewith some crony who said peopleare not mourning Prince so much as

they mourn their lost youth. Even so,all sorts of great performancespopped up that I had never seen.And they played on my phone,whether I was brushing my teeth,feeding our illegal chickens, search-ing for my lost wallet or whatever. Itend to dislike new technology. Butsometimes, it is great to have all thisfancy stuff. Watching that skinny lit-tle dude play covers better than theoriginal artists is one such time.

uuuThe calendar says Mother’s Day

nears, but I feel more like a tribute toDad. Seems the older I get, the morereason I find to be proud of the oldman. The end of National PoetryMonth is one such time. The youngme would have automatically said,“So what?” That’s the part of methat has always tried to reject myparents. Age has wisely taught me tofight that urge. I have vivid child-hood memories of poets visiting ourhouse, talking and drinking late intothe night. The most memorable wasIrishman John Montague, who madeseveral epic visits and had a daugh-ter named Oonagh, which mattersonly because I suspect she was cute.Anyway, Dad never pushed poetryon me. He just made it available. Fora long time, none of it made sense.Some poems still leave me cold. Butincreasingly, I find poems that evoke

emotions nothing else can touch.And the one on this page has got tobe the most elegant ode to hawgin’ever penned. ... Parting shot:Thanks, Dad.Contact Jeff Lampe at 231-6040 or

The TroutBy JOHN MONTAGUE

Flat on the bank I parted Rushes to ease my hands In the water without a ripple And tilt them slowly downstream To where he lay, tendril-light, In his fluid sensual dream.

Bodiless lord of creation, I hung briefly above him Savouring my own absence, Senses expanding in the slow Motion, the photographic calm That grows before action.

As the curve of my hands Swung under his body He surged, with visible pleasure. I was so preternaturally close I could count every stipple But still cast no shadow, until

The two palms crossed in a cage Under the lightly pulsing gills. Then (entering my own enlarged Shape, which rode on the water) I gripped. To this day I can Taste his terror on my hands.

It all started afew weeks ago,back before the new “Star Wars”movie came out. My youngestdaughter, who had just turned 11,was over and we were talking aboutthe new movie.

I was explaining how the firstmovie was Episode 4, and howEpisodes 5 and 6 were the secondand third movies while Episode 1came fourth, followed by Episode 2and 3, which were numbers five andsix.

Somehow, even though I wasn’t a

math major, I understood all that.(Maybe that’s WHY I wasn’t a mathmajor.)

The point was that the movie thatwas coming out, “The Force Awak-ens,” was Episode 7, as well asbeing the seventh movie in the fran-chise. That is, unless you count allthose cartoons, which I don’t, be-cause those took place betweensome of the other movies, and myhead is starting to hurt, so we’regoing to just leave it at that.

The whole point of all this is that Idiscovered Caroline had never seenthe first “Star Wars,” which is theone that got all this craziness started.She knew of the characters, Lukeand Princess Leia, R2D2 and 3CPO,Obi-Wan and Darth Vader, but shedidn’t know how they all fit to-gether.

I decided right then and there thatshe wasn’t going to learn anyyounger, so I told her to go to myvideo shelves, and bring me the

original “Star Wars” trilogy that wasstill in the box.

As I hooked up the DVD player tothe TV in the living room, sheopened the box. In a quiet voice, shesaid, “Dad ...What’s this?” in a toneusually reserved for finding unpleas-ant surprises.

I turned around and she was hold-ing up a VHS tape. “Oh!” I said. “Ithought I had it on DVD.” No prob-lem. I started hooking up the VHSplayer instead.

“No,” she said in amazement. “What IS this?”

It suddenly occurred to me thatmy 11-year-old didn’t know what aVHS tape was.

Now she’s seen VHS tapes before;her mother used to work at Block-buster way back when. When shewas a little girl, I practically woreout a VHS machine playing videosfor her.

But she didn’t remember that. She

Feeling a little old

JonGALLAGHER

Although I was only seven yearsold at the time, I still rememberChristmas of 1945 quite well. WhenI woke up on Christmas Day, Iraced to the living room, hopingSanta had found room for one morebicycle in hissleigh.

For those tooyoung to knowor too old to re-member, electrictrains and bicy-cles were atopthe list of desir-able Christmasgifts for youngboys 70 yearsago. Apparently I had behaved wellenough, because in front of the treewas a red Schwinn two-wheeler.

Since the weather was unseason-ably mild that day, I left the rest ofmy presents unopened for a time,while Dad helped me take my newgift down the front steps to thestreet. From there, I took off on mybike and rode around the block, notonce, but dozens of times untilMom came out on the porch andwaved me down.

“It’s time to leave for Galesburg.”

When we returned from Christ-mas dinner with relatives, it was toodark to ride so I jumped on my bikethe next day. I loved that Schwinnand rode it after school for weeks;so much that I had to strap a pillowon the seat for obvious reasons.

During the course of the nextweek, with the temperature becom-ing more seasonable, I developed acough which became progressivelyworse. Mom gave me Smith Broth-ers cough drops and discouraged mefrom riding for a while.

On the following Sunday, how-ever, I made just one trip around theblock. I was out of breath, whichwas not unusual, but I continued togasp for air, which was unusual. AsI climbed the front stairs, I used thehand rail to pull myself up as best Icould, finally opening the door andyelling for help. I was scared.

Both Mom and Dad came run-ning. Someone tried verifyingwhere our family doctor was thatSunday afternoon – at his home oroffice. Silly question.

“Yes,” his nurse answered, “hehas office hours this afternoon.”

It took Dad less than five minutesto reach the physician’s waiting

room which, as I recall, was so busyevery seat was taken with peoplewaiting to see the doctor even on aSunday. He had no appointments:patients waited in his office until hecould see them; he left, not at 5 or 6p.m., but when there was no one leftto see.

Since the nurse was aware wewere coming, the doctor cleared hisexamining room of a couple of pa-tients so he could see me. He lis-tened to my lungs, took mytemperature and my blood pressure,and kept looking for clues.

Dr. David Morton was a man offew words: “I’m not sure, but Ithink we have a case of pneumo-nia.”

Whistling softly through his teeth,the bald-headed man reached overto his black leather bag containing50 or so drugs then available to dealwith most illnesses of the humanbody. He chose a glass vial andbrought the label with small printcloser to his eyes to be sure he hadchosen the correct medicine.

After he had pulled out the cork,he dropped 8-10 pills into a little en-velopee.

Doctor’s day ended when the seats were empty

TAYLOR: Sulfa drugs helped drop temperature

Mike CecilFinancial Advisor3430 W Willow Knolls Dr.Peoria, IL 61614Office 309-693-3019Cell 309-357-1001

“Edna, these capsules will helpwith the temperature. Take himhome and put him to bed. As soonas I finish at the office, I’ll be overagain tonight to check on him.”

Almost all afternoon, I lay in bed,my temperature rising slowly butsteadily from just a little over 100 to101degrees.

“Mom, I’m roasting. I need aglass of cold water.”

Later, she put a thermometerunder my tongue: 103 degrees.

“I’m still hot.” After she opened some windows,

the room cooled quickly since thetemperature outside was well belowzero. I dozed off.

When I felt someone putting athermometer under my tongue, Iwoke. Dr. Morton was sitting besideme in my bedroom, looking at thethermometer. He glanced first atMom and then at Dad.

“It’s 105. I’m going to try a cou-ple of drugs developed during thewar for our soldiers. Sulfa comesonly in pill form, but penicillin can

be administered by a shot in yourarm or a spray in your throat.”

As a seven-year-old, I was capa-ble of taking pills, but I was scaredto death of shots. I chose the spray.

“I think that these new drugs andbed rest will do the trick.”

He closed his case, and said,“Edna, check his temperature atmidnight. If it doesn’t go below105, call me at home.”

Picking up his case, he headed outthe door.

Monday night, after making earlymorning hospital calls in Peoria andseeing office patients in the after-noon, Dr. Morton returned to myhome. Without saying much, helooked down my throat and checkedmy temperature.

“It’s better but not what I was ex-pecting.”

On the way out of the house, hestepped into the kitchen whereMom was washing dishes. “Edna,call my office tomorrow morningfirst thing and let me know his tem-perature.”

That night, I woke in a cold

sweat. The next morning, Mom re-ported, “slightly over 100.”

Less concerned, Dr. Morton didnot call that night, but was pleasedto hear the good news the nextmorning from his nurse.

“Edna said his temp broke 99.” Four weeks later, after catching

chicken pox and pink eye, I returnedto fourth grade where I was glad tosee my teacher, Mrs. Hubble, andmy friends. I felt as if I had beengone a year.

Contrary to what the reader maythink, I’m not the hero of this story.It’s Dr. Morton. This is the story ofa country physician and his sacri-fices to bring a young boy back tohealthy.

Dr. Morton’s work was his life.He began almost every day makingcalls in the early morning on surgi-cal patients in Peoria. After “makingrounds,” he headed back home tohis office in Elmwood where hegenerally saw patients for the re-mainder of the day.

Dr. Morton’s life was only com-plete when the seats were empty.


GALLAGHER: ‘Dad, What does rewind mean?’was too young. All she rememberedwas DVDs. Wow.

I gave her a quick history lesson,then put the tape in and hit “play.” Ifast forwarded through trailers,which led to a question about whywe had to watch them. She was re-ally missing that “main menu” pagethat she’s come to know so well.

We finished the movie with no bigproblems; a movie is a movie (eventhough the picture did jump a littlewhen we paused for bathroombreaks). The movie ended and thetape began to rewind.

“Dad! What’s that sound?” Itseems my old VHS player is a lotlike me: it makes some rather un-pleasant sounds when forced towork hard or move fast.

It was the perfect lesson, if not forher, for me. Technology is movingso quickly I never dreamed I’d haveto explain a VHS tape to someone.

Just for the heck of it, I went tomy desk and grabbed a floppy disk.I asked her if she knew what it was.

No clue.She must have thought we old

people were barbaric using such aprimitive media form with suchsmall capacity. I would have showedher how slow it was, except none ofmy computers have a disk drive.

I guess I’m saving the old disks incase a museum calls and needs somefor display purposes.

It hasn’t been that long that videotapes, floppy disks, and for that mat-ter, Instamatic cameras were newthings. Now, they’re all obsolete, re-placed by DVDs, flash drives andpoint-and-shoot cameras.

I started working for Circuit Cityin Peoria in 2002. I remember onBlack Friday we had a PersonalDesk Assistant (a PDA), which wasthe hottest thing on the market, sell-ing for an unheard of $30 (providing

you were willing to fight – literallyfight – others who were lined up tosnag one). They were cool thingsthat electronically stored names,phone numbers, email addressesplus had a calendar feature to helpremind you of birthdays, anniver-saries and other upcoming importantevents.

Before Circuit City went out ofbusiness in 2008, you couldn’t buy aPDA anywhere. You didn’t need to.All they did plus a lot more is in-cluded in your cell phone.

My parents no doubt felt the sameway when they first witnessed colorTV or a washing machine without awringer. I just never thought I’d bein the same position.

Especially since those old schoolthings that are so obsolete didn’teven exist 20 years ago.

Pardon me while I go fetch mybottle of Ben Gay. I’ve got plenty onhand in case you need it, too.

By RON DIETERFor The Weekly Post

The woodland garden atour place is coming intofull bloom now and itlooks pretty good, if I dosay so myself. Brunnera,Pulmonaria, bleedinghearts, bluebells, wood-land poppies, snowflakes,and daffodils are all strut-ting their stuff.

Brunnera macrophyllain bloom can easily bemistaken for common for-get-me-nots, Myosotis syl-vatica. The flowers arealmost identical and brightblue. The common namefor Brunnera macropylla isSiberian bugloss, but Ihave never in 35 years inthe nursery business heardanyone use that name.

Brunnera forms neatmounds of heart-shapedleaves of dark green. Inspring, tiny five-petaledflowers of intense bluewith yellow centers hoverabove the plant.

There are several culti-vated varieties of Brun-nera, but an exceptionallybeautiful one is called“Jack Frost.” The leavesare a metallicsilver with darkgreen veins andedges, an ele-gant effect.“Jack Frost” (atright) won theprestigiousPerennial Plantof the Year award in 2012.

Brunnera, a woodlandplant in its native Turkey,does best in full or partshade. Hot afternoon sunwill scorch the leaves.Slugs can be a problembut are easily controlledwith a bait containing ironphosphate, such as Sluggo.

Another blue-floweredperennial is Virginia blue-bells, Mertensia virginica.Native to much of easternAmerica, bluebells sportpink buds that open toblue trumpet-shaped flow-ers. Some flowers are asolid clear blue, others aretinged in pink or nearly allpink. The flowers appear

in loose clusters.Once established, blue-

bells easily seed out, form-ing colonies in shadywoodlands. After flower-

ing and settingseed, the plantsgo dormantuntil the fol-lowing spring.

There is abeautiful standof Virginiabluebells blan-

keting the entire front yardof a farmhouse on thenorth side of Grange HallRoad, about a half mileeast of the Kickapoo sandquarry. I look forward toseeing it each spring.

Pulmonaria saccharata,or lungwort, is anotherperennial that producesblue trumpet-shaped flow-ers. Like bluebells, theflowers of Pulmonariaopen from pink buds. De-pending on the variety, thesomewhat hairy leaves canbe dark green with spotsof silver or almost pure sil-ver. There are also white-flowered and raspberry-flowered cultivars. Lung-

wort easily seeds out but isnot invasive. It requiresmoist soils to grow well.

A fine companion to theblue and pink floweredperennials is summersnowflake, Leucojum aes-tivum, a spring-floweringbulb. Summer snowflakesbloom not in summer, butin mid- to late-spring, afterthe flowers of springsnowflake, Leucojum ver-num, have passed.

The flowers of summersnowflakes look to me likelittle inverted teacups.The pure white flowershave six petals, each deco-rated at the tip with a littlegreen dot. They are heldabove the daffodil-like fo-liage in clusters of four orfive atop tall stems. Thelong stems can be cut forelegant tabletop bouquets.

Summer snowflakesaren’t very particularabout where they areplanted. We have them infull sun and in shade, indry soil as well as dampcreekside areas. Deerdon’t consider them a deli-cacy, which is a big plus.

Some garden designersare reluctant to use yel-low-flowered plants in thespring garden because itdemands the eye’s atten-tion at the expense ofmilder spring pinks andblues. We don’t hold thatview and have plantedwood poppies, Stylopho-rum diphyllum, to providesome bright yellow.

Wood poppy, orcelandine poppy, bloomswith two-inch, bright yel-low four-petaled flowerswith tufted yellow centers.

Other gardeners maycringe at the thought ofsomeone planting woodpoppies in the garden be-cause they seed out soreadily as to be considereda weed. But in our garden,we find them relativelyeasy to handle.

These plants all have at-tractive foliage and are re-liable, long blooming anddeer tolerant.

Farmers urged to staysafe around electricity

Farming is dangerous.In fact, the U.S. Bureau ofLabor Statistics lists farm-ers, ranchers, and otheragricultural managers inthe top 10 civilian occupa-tions with high fatal workinjury rates.

“One of the hazardsfaced by farm workers iscontact with electricalequipment. Safe Electric-ity encourages farmers tokeep safety top of mindthis planting season.

“One critical part ofsafety around electricity isawareness,” said KylaKruse, communicationsdirector of the Safe Elec-tricity program. “It’s im-portant to remember thatfarm machinery is vulner-

able to hitting power linesbecause of its large size,height, and extensions. ”

In equipment with auto-guidance systems, lessfocus is needed on steer-ing, which may lead somedrivers to think that theydo not need to be as awareof navigation issues.However, even whileusing a GPS with auto-matic steering, farm work-ers need to keep safety inmind and stay focused onsurroundings.

One consideration is tokeep equipment at least 10feet from lines – at alltimes, in all directions.

And lower extensions tothe lowest setting whenmoving loads.



ADVERTISE IN A NEWSPAPER PEOPLE READ! Call (309) 741-9790

personal property taxes on corporations,partnerships, and other business entitieswas abolished in the 1970 Constitution.Corporations, partnerships, trusts andpublic utilities pay these taxes; corpora-tions pay a 2.5 percent tax on income,partnerships and trusts 1.5 percent, andpublic utilities 0.8 percent.

About 6,500 districts could be affectedby the misallocation that began in 2014.In 2014, the total amount of PPRT dis-tributed to taxing districts was $1.37 bil-lion, and in 2015 the amount was $1.43billion.

“It’s kind of frustrating,” Stahl said.“When we’re told there was money com-ing, we figured there was money due us[so] we didn’t question it.”

“We are certainly sensitive to the im-pact recouping these funds will have onsome of our taxing districts,” said IDORdirector Connie Beard. “We will beworking with the impacted taxing dis-tricts to establish a plan to recapture thefunds over an extended period of time.”

It’s unclear whether the state will askfor repayments over a matter of monthsor another option, such as reducing fu-ture payments.

“It looks like they screwed us onetime; they might screw us again,” saidKelch, in Kickapoo. “Our budget’s set –unlike the state. Will we have to re-doour budgets with those costs to us? Weought to make the state wait, too.”

Rollen Wright, administrator at Farm-ington, which the state says it overpaid$2,006.66, seemed to shrug, saying, “It’sthe state.

“It’s not that big a deal for us,” he con-tinued, “– not like if I was a school dis-trict.”

Indeed, IDOR’s claim is viewed by ed-ucators as an unexpected and unwelcomeaddition to mounting bad financial news.

“I am much more concerned with thelack of an educational budget for nextyear,” commented Shannon Duling, Su-perintendent of Princeville school district322. “With our limited reserves andneeds of the district, if there is not abudget before school starts, we will havesome very difficult decisions to make.

“The district is very reliant on GeneralState Aid (GSA) and without it we willnot be able to make it through next yearwithout using almost all of our reserves.Once our reserves are gone, we will becompletely reliant on state funding –which hasn’t paid their full share inyears. Without our reserves, we will belooking at even more significant cuts,which will impact our kids!

“Then, they are talking about institut-ing a property-tax freeze,” Duling con-tinued. “As a taxpayer, this sounds like agreat idea – and few would argue that weare too reliant on our local property tax

revenue. However, this is the only signif-icant revenue source our district cancount on, as the state keeps cutting statefunding. Without an annual increase inour property-tax revenue, we will not beable to keep up with the increasing costs.

“As if that is not enough,” he added,“the legislative leaders are still looking ata pension cost shift to school districts,without a revenue source to pay for theextra costs. So we are looking at a possi-ble tax freeze, no budget for next year([and] no GSA), and a possible pensioncost shift? Yeah, we are concerned withpaying back almost $34,000 in overpaidPPRT funds, but I am much more con-cerned with the total lack of commonsense and compromise that is currentlybeing demonstrated by ‘our’ governmentin Springfield.”

THE WEEKLY POST • Thursday, April 28, 2016 www.wklypost.com


ELMWOOD – The Board of Educa-tion on Monday did not act upon a rec-ommendation to enter into a contractwith the Evanston-based Right At SchoolK-8 after-school program, but Superin-tendent Chad Wagner did act on thegrowing concern with state funding.

After listening to a few objections tothe proposed change, the Board closedthe meeting to deliberate, and Wagnerlater announced it had taken no action soit’s “no longer a consideration for the2016-17 school year.

“The administration will work togetherwith current staff to improve currentservices to allow for the possibility of in-creased student capacity, professional de-velopment for staff, and a structuredcurriculum,” Wagner continued.

During public comment, three employ-ees of Elmwood’s current latchkey pro-gram – manager Cheryl Whitehurst andtwo part-time high schoolers – and fiveparents whose children are enrolled thereopposed the change. Some complainedof higher fees for families with morethan one child, but others volunteered topay more, donate or hold fund raisers.

Comments included preferring theconsistency of current latchkey; disap-pointment the Board doesn’t have bettercommunications concerning changes;opposing education for students who’vealready spent the day in class; and – cit-ing internet reviews – Right At Schoolstaff turnover at some schools.

Also appearing was Julie Lyon, RightAt School’s director of school partner-ships, who acknowledged turnover in a

few locations, adding that happenedyears ago.

“You can always find negative com-ments online,” she said. “But if you re-ally look, the positives far outweigh thenegatives.

“You have a wonderful program, butwe feel we could offer more,” she contin-ued, “– trained staff, a curriculum andphysical education that’s fun, and experi-ential learning. We survey families[where we operate] and give kids achance to get involved in things like ro-botics and other activities.”

At other area communities, Right AtSchool offers longer hours, room formore students, and an educational com-ponent not available at Elmwood’slatchkey program, which has about 32students and a waiting list to enroll.

Dunlap Superintendent Lisa Parkerpraised Right At School, saying that“they offer a wide variety of learning op-portunities for students.”

Although Right At School is more thanbabysitting, safe child care is important,too, Parker added.

Alternatives of a different sort were ad-dressed when Wagner summarized theDistrict’s financial situation in the face ofa state funding crisis. As he mentionedlast month – and other area superintend-ents have echoed – Elmwood faces un-pleasant options if no state budget isapproved, state funding continues to fallshort of the state’s own foundation levelof $6,119 per student and lawmakerslimit property-tax revenues and shift pen-sion obligations to districts with no rev-enue to meet them.

“This board – this community – is

going to have to make a decision,” hesaid, listing choices ranging from cuttingstaff, cutting extracurricular activities,holding classes four days a week, orclosing the school.

“The state’s prorated its payments toElmwood since 2010,” he said, “losingabout $740,000 – money the District isentitled to. And now the state may notsend its last two payments for this year,so we could lose another $126,955.62.The state may not get a budget [done]until after the November election.”

About one-fourth of Elmwood’s dis-trict budget relies on state funding, headded, and with $2.1 million in reserves,the schools can only operate for aboutfour months before depleting resources.

In other news:

• The gymnasium floor needs $11,125of work done.

• Elmwood had 100-percent participa-tion in the Partnership for Assessment ofReadiness for College and Careers(PARCC) tests, Janelle Meyers reported.

• The Board approved sports medi-cine/athletic training coverage for 2016-17 athletic seasons from MidwestOrthopaedic Center in Peoria and Pekin.

• The Board OK’d continuing its sportsco-op with Brimfield High School forfootball and track.

• Board member Mark Davis reportedthe Building Committee has met with ar-chitects regarding Phase II of the build-ing plan and will schedule a publicmeeting to explain ideas and get commu-nity feedback.

Answer:

Almost anyone can set up a traditional IRA. �e only require-ments are that you generally must have taxable compensa-

tion (typically, salary or wages from your job) and be under age 70½ in order to put money into an IRA. Beyond that, the basic mechanics of setting up an IRA are pretty straightforward. An IRA is typically established with a bank, insurance or investment company, or other �nancial institution with an initial invest-

ment of as little as $50. It’s as simple as picking an institution, completing the required paperwork, and making an opening deposit. �e only potentially di�cult steps are selecting speci�c investment vehicles to fund your IRA and designating your bene�ciary.

You can contribute a total of $5,500 to all the IRAs you own (traditional and Roth) in 2016 (unchanged from 2015). Married couples may contribute $5,500 per spouse under certain conditions, even if one spouse has little or no income. In addition, if you’re age 50 or older, you can make an extra “catch-up” contri-bution of $1,000 in 2015 and 2016. Your annual contribution can be made as a lump-sum payment or a series of payments, and can be made up until April 15 of the following year.

Although practically anyone with earned income who is under age 70½ can contribute the full $5,500 to an IRA in 2016, your ability to deduct contribu-tions will depend on several factors (e.g., your adjusted gross income, your tax �ling status, and whether you or your spouse is covered by an employer-spon-sored plan). You may be able to deduct all, a portion, or none of your IRA contribution for a given tax year. You may even qualify for a partial tax credit.

Note that this discussion applies only to traditional IRAs. Roth IRAs are sub-ject to special rules of their own.

ing win.“Caitlin (Pullen’s) two

run-triple in the fourth wasa big spark,”Coach ChadGardner said.

Princeville kept hittingand pitching in a Fridaydoubleheader sweep atAledo against MercerCounty 11-0 and 13-0.

Lane no-hit Mercer ingame one with 12 strike-outs and just one walkkeeping it from a perfectperformance. Top hitterswere Cokel (3-for-3),Brooke Gardner (2-for-4),Madison Roe (2-for-3),Roberts (2-for-2) and Jes-sica DeVries (2-for-3).

“An overall 14 hit team

hits and Paige’s commandof pitches made for a greatteam performance,” Gard-ner said.

In the second game,Holt yielded just three hits,one free pass, and fannedfive. The bats remained onfire: Cokel was 3-for-4and driving in two whileHite was a perfect 3-for-3with three RBIs. Gardnerand Pullen were in on thehit parade with three each.

“We got things goingearly leading to 16 teamhits, and having Haley topitch in a doubleheader isa big plus for us,” coachGardner said.

Brimfield-ElmwoodAfter a week-long lull,

Brimfield-Elmwood (14-4) played Monday versusICAC foe Illini Bluffs inGlasford. The result was a5-2 setback.

IB’s four runs in thefourth and a 17-strikeoutperformance by KatieDavid was the key. Lind-sey Stenger’s two-run sin-gle provided the only tworuns for B-E.

“Katie David was reallygood,” Lady IndiansCoach Kurt Juerjens said.

The team bounced backTuesday with a 10-2 winover Monmouth-Ro-seville, led by seven RBIsfrom sisters Morgan andMontana Ledbetter, whoeach hit home runs. AlyssaRoll got the win on thehill, fanning 12.

FarmingtonFarmington (7-9) took

on two area giants Fridayat the Metamora Show-

case and competed wellbut couldn’t quite get itdone in the scoring depart-ment.

A 5-0 setback to EastPeoria was preceded by a2-0 final deficit to Meta-mora, in which AlliSprague struck out seven,walked only two, and gaveup five hits. GraceBehrens had a 2-for-3 hit-ting line.

“We had six hits, but wecouldn’t string them to-gether enough to pushacross runs,” Coach JeniFauser said. “ Alli pitcheda very solid game.”

Farmington beat Mon-mouth-Roseville, 4-1, lastTuesday at home. Spragueand Emily Buster eachcontributed two baggers aspart of the team’s seven-hit attack. Ilsa Strough’ssix strikeout and no-walkpitching performance wasalso a key.

ROWVA-WilliamsfieldMonday’s 10-9 ICAC

loss at Delavan forROWVA-Williamsfieldwas the result of doubledigit errors from the LadyCougars (3-12).

Pitchers Marissa Miller(two innings, one earnedrun), Madison Stewart (4.2innings, one earned run)and Tina Foglesong (2-for-4 with two RBIs) couldn’tget the team through.

Farmington scored 11 runsin the final three innings toclaim an 11-1 win overNorth Fulton on Saturday.

Dylan Hayden pitched acomplete game for the Farm-ers (13-9), scattering fivehits and fanning six. Thatbroke a two-gamelosing streak forFarmington.

Hayden gotplenty of hittingsupport in the lateinnings, led byJake Johnson (3-for-3), CalebGilstrap (2-for-2)and Jake Settles (2-for-4, 2 RBIs). Just for goodmeasure, Hayden rapped outa double and drove in tworuns.

One day earlier on Friday,the Farmers fell to Canton,8-6, after leading 6-2through four innings.

Trey Swearingen andGilstrap had two hits apiecefor the Farmers, who man-aged eight hits overall andstole four bases.

Errors and walks hurt theFarmington effort, though, asGilstrap pitched a completegame and yielded just threeearned runs, but did walk

five.Last Wednesday, the

Farmers dropped an 8-7 game to Monmouth-Roseville in thebottom of the 10th in-ning after scoring inthe top half of the in-ning.

Jake Johnson got onbase four times in the

game for Farmington anddoubled in the eighth.Swearingen was 3-for-5 anddrove in two runs whileGilstrap and Hayden alsohad two hits apiece andDakota Traver belted a dou-

ELMWOOD – He’s alreadygot one of the fastest times inthe area for the 300-meter hur-dles. But after Monday’s latestwin in that event at the Elm-wood Invitational, Elmwood-Brimfield junior HaydenGolemon was already makingplans for a change.

“I really creamed the first hur-dle. It just about stopped mymomentum,” Golemon said.“So I’m going to be switchingmy legs on the starting blocks.”

Golemon’s problem is a goodone. He’s coming out of theblocks too fast and hitting thefirst hurdle.

“I’m stronger than last year,”he said.

Unfortunately, his competi-tion is not. A state qualifier inthe 300 hurdles last year, Gole-mon is still hoping to reach hisfast time of 40.72 from last sea-son when he reached the state

finals. He ran 42.68 on Mondayand his best so far this year is41.76, Golemon said.

But he isn’t being pushed ashe was last year, when ROWVArunner John O’Connor doggedhim every race.

“I just haven’t had the compe-tition this year,” Golemon said.“I’m at the first hurdle beforeanyone else.”

So improvement will have to

come from within until possiblythe sectionals. That’s why, in-stead of putting his right footforward at the start, Golemonwill put his left foot forward. Ina race like hurdles, adjustmentslike that are critical, since theyimpact when and how a runnerapproaches each jump.

The goal, of course, is toshave seconds or tenths of sec-
