Princeville starts$8.2 million school project

By BILL KNIGHTFor The Weekly Post

PRINCEVILLE – Groundbreaking foran $8.2 million building project atPrinceville District 326 was Friday(May 22), but that was just a middlestep. The final one will be a new JuniorHigh School and gym and interior reno-vations throughout the Grade Schooland High School.

The real start might be traced to lastyear’s referendum authorizing a bond bya vote of 782-387; or a similar April2013 referendum, which barely lost,480-463; or even four years ago, whenthe Board of Education hired ShannonDuling as superintendent and launched afacility needs assessment.

Throughout, the community has beena vital part of the process.

“There’s been a lot of communityinput and a lot of community support,”Duling said shortly before the school’sglee club began the ceremony by singingthe National Anthem. “The communityis strong.

“Princeville has a long tradition of of-fering an exceptional educational pro-gram helping students reach their full

ELMWOOD – A FultonCounty institution may becomeanother Elmwood institutionwhen it opens itsdoors at the formerHick’ry Stick site onthe south side of thesquare in time forStrawberry Festivalhere next week.

Crawford’s HomeFurnishings is a family business,too – one that hopes to maketheir enterprise part of the localbusiness community.

“Elmwood came to us,” saidCrawford’s owner Aaron Thum.“We’ve been talking with [Elm-wood Economic Development

director] Dick Taylor for about amonth, plus [Every Little Thingstore owner] Tracy Parrish – whoworked for us for about eightyears – and our goal is to partner

with the city andwork with everyoneto be a good additionhere.

“There’ll be agrand opening later,”Thum continues.“We’re moving some

things in, but it takes four weeksor so for our orders to get here.”

The Elmwood store will havefurniture and home décor only,including lamps, area rugs, etc.,and plans to use the upstairs toshowcase its inventory.

Like the Canton location,

Crawford’s Elmwood store willhave a coffee area, Thum says.

“We like to be a social gather-ing area, too,” he says. “In Can-ton we have two Bible studygroup, a book club and Chamberof Commerce meetings heldthere.”

Customers should expect de-livery service within days of pur-chases, Thum adds.

“We’ll be delivering to bothCanton and Elmwood to start,”he says. “Probably one or twodays a week.”

Thum says the Elmwood storewill have two or three employeesand hire locally.

“We’re looking to fit in, to bemembers of the community,” hesays.

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

PRINCEVILLE: New gym by 2016academic and social potential,” hecontinued. “The community’s supportthroughout the planning process andnow – as we move into the construc-tion phase – has been instrumental incontinuing that long tradition of suc-cess at Princeville Schools.”

School Board President DarinCowser also thanked district residents.

“The community really stood up forus,” Cowser said, introducing theevent.

Community member Ann Cordis,who helped the referendum campaign,also praised the town, teachers andstudents for willingly making sacri-fices.

“This begins what will be a longsiege of disruption,” she said, smiling.“But it’s not unlike the birth process:The results will make all the painworthwhile.”

Construction starts this summer,with most of the inside remodeling tothe 63-year-old facility finished byfall, a new gym completed by April2016, and the new Junior High addi-tion ready by August 2016.

The project will entail:• a 9,100 square-foot addition, with

six classrooms and a collaborationspace to allow the 6th grade to bemoved over from the grade school;

• a 13,720 square-foot “competi-tion” gymnasium to better host tourna-ments and bigger events, and lockerrooms;

• 8,500 square feet of remodeling ofcurrent classrooms and science labs;

• 6,300 square feet of renovation for

a new, secure building entrance, re-ception area, and administrative of-fices;

• remodeling in the grade school tocreate art and music classrooms in-stead of requiring classes to meet inthe cafeteria; and

• replacing hallway flooring, upgrad-ing electrical, adding new gym bleach-ers and repairing drainage problems.

BLDD Architects of Bloomingtondesigned the project, P.J. Hoerr of Peo-ria is construction manager, and 17subcontractors will work on it. Theproject is pursuing LEED Silver certi-fication from the U.S. Green BuildingCouncil.

The years-long process was chal-lenging at times, Duling said.

“After the first referendum lost – by17 votes – we dropped back plans,” hesaid. “Then we got more of a buy-infrom the community as well as theBoard and administration and teachers.It was a three-phase plan. This wasphase one. The next phase could be anauditorium.”

Throughout, the District has keptpace through efforts it could controlwithin existing budgets, such as tech-nology, Duling said.

“We have one-to-one Chromebooksfor all students from 7th to 12h gradesand they can take them home,” hesaid. “And 4th and 5th graders allhave Chromebooks that stay atschool.”

Addressing dozens of townspeopleand students, Duling reminded themthat the building project “will take usto the 21st century.”

Memorial Day is one of manycivic celebra-tions that makesme glad to livein a small town.Oh sure, thereare ceremoniesin towns of allsizes. No doubt,many events inlarge cities arewell-orches-trated and even moving. But I pre-fer the homey touch of a smalltown where kids are handed flagsfor the parade, where the roar of acannon makes folks young andold jump and where veterans arehonored with the respect they de-serve. ... Always on MemorialDay, I think of my grandfather, El-wood Lampe. A WW II vet, hewould not speak about the waruntil his final few years. Then thestories spilled out as if he was un-burdening himself. He was and isnot alone in that struggle. To allwho have labored under theweight of that load, thank you.

uuuKudos to the Brimfield senior(s)

who posted their school for saleon Craiglist. But I am guessingwhoever made the post is not an“A” student in English. There

were more typos in those six sen-tences than in this entire issue ofThe Weekly Past. And with theholiday and a critical 8U baseballgame on Tuesday, we put thissucker out in 13 hours! ... Notlong ago, Bluebird Herb askedabout the diving board atop the el-evator in Edwards. We reported itwas not actually a diving board,but a deck. Well, the owner hassince installed a diving board.Which is kind of funny. I need tomeet this fellow. ... I also need tomeet the idiots who busted theLittle Library placed at West Park.With that in mind, we offer a $100reward for anyone with informa-tion that leads to me having a sit-down with the kids who broke theplexiglass in that Little Library.That is $100 cash money. I justwant a chance to chat with themisguided youngsters. ... I amrooting for rhubarb pies at Smokeon the Prairie’s pie contest thisFriday in Brimfield, an event Iwill enjoy this year with my fam-ily in tow. Also, Friday is smokedbaby-back ribs night, so get out!

uuu

Congratulations if you emergedunscathed from National Dog BitePrevention Week, which was al-legedly celebrated May 17-23. Isay allegedly because in an ex-haustive Google search (of 14 sec-onds) I found no mention of sucha national week. Therefore, apply-

ing the logic of my children, it isnot a fact. More about that later. ...Even so, in a belated effort to as-sist our readers, we consulted TheMayor of Oak Hill for his top fourlist of ways to avoid getting bit bya dog (we wanted a Top 10 list inhonor of David Letterman’s finalshow last week, but The Mayorwas too busy picking dandelionsand cutting rhubarb). So on to ourTop Four list for ways to not getbit: 1. Hang out with kids who runslower than you; 2. Do not pet adog with ham juice or stinkbait onyour hands; 3. If you live amongdogs, carry a big stick; 4. Never,ever wake a sleeping dog.

uuuThe other day I Googled a fact

that I know for certain. Nowherecould I find a mention of this factonline. That made me smile. Forall the answers Google provides,instantly, the all-knowing Webpresence is still a bit like the Wiz-ard of Oz at times, curtain pulledback, flailing away with nothingto show for its gaudy reputation.... Parting shot: As for Letterman,my best memories from his broad-casts do not involve Paul Shaffer,but rather Biff Henderson, Larry“Bud” Melman in a bear suit andeven Pee Wee Herman driving acar (OK, go ahead and Googlethem).

Habitat for Humanity/Home for a Hero

Public WelcomeAny volunteers that can help week days

please contact:Mike Morge at [email protected]

I used to sell appliances at a largeretail store in Peoria. I saw lots ofthings during the time I spent there,from competitorsundercutting myprice to fellowsalesmen doingthe same so theycould get the sale.During my timethere, I saw a sideof humanity that Iknew existed, butpretended didn’t.

I had a customer come in one daylooking for a cheap dryer. She was asingle mom and didn’t have muchmoney to spend. Instead of lookingat new dryers, which would haverun her a couple hundred dollars, Itook her out to our scratch-and-dentroom where, if customers didn’tmind cosmetic problems, priceswere cut up to 70 percent.

She had $25.It would have been hard to get her

a couple of nails and a clotheslinefor that kind of money at our store.She was hoping to put the $25down on something and then makeweekly payments. We weren’t arent-to-own store and didn’t do that.The stores that did would have beenhappy to help her, but she wouldhave ended up paying about threetimes what the dryer was worth bythe time it was “paid off.”

Then she explained why she onlyhad $25. She originally saved about$100. She was looking at used dry-ers and had a few in mind fromsome second-hand stores in Peoria.

Someone suggested Craigslistand told her she could sometimescome up with a really good deal onthat website.

She found a dryer on her first tripto Craigslist. The ad said the owner

was moving out of state and had toget rid of the dryer as soon as possi-ble.

She called the number and wastold it was an electric dryer a coupleof years old. He wanted $150. Shethanked him and hung up.

The owner of the dryer used thecall-back feature on his phone andcalled her back. He asked howmuch she was looking to spend. Shetold him $75. He hemmed andhawed, then figured he had to getrid of it, so he agreed to the $75.

She told him she’d have to get herbrother or someone to come get it,but he said that was no problem. Heneeded it gone right away so he saidhe’d load it into his pickup andbring it out to her.

He did just that. He unloaded itand even hooked it up for her on aheated porch where her washer was.He was a complete gentlemanthroughout the process and wishedher well.

She thought it was a little strangehis truck didn’t have any licenseplates, but maybe that was a tempo-rary plate in the back window. Shecouldn’t tell.

She used the dryer right away.She got it going, then went to grab ahamper full of dirty clothes so shecould start the washer. By the timeshe got back to the dryer, smokehad filled the enclosed porch. Be-fore she could open a window ordoor, flames erupted from behindthe dryer.

The fire department arrivedwithin a few minutes and quicklyhad the blaze contained and out.The dryer, now blackened withsoot, was toast.

There was some damage to theporch, but the landlord’s insurancetook care of that. It did not cover the

dryer – or the clothes she had in it.The woman tried to call the num-

ber she had on her cell phone andfound out it was no longer in serv-ice. Police would later determine itwas a “burner” phone, one that hasa set number of minutes and won’twork unless more are added. Crimi-nals often use this type of phone sothey can’t be traced.

The police could do little for thewoman. She’d been ripped off, theysaid. It was probably some guyswho roamed around looking forwashers and dryers set out forpickup then refurbished the outsideto make them look decent beforepeddling them.

The seller probably had no idea ifthe dryer worked or not. He wasjust happy to pocket $75.

I got her name and number andwent to work. Between customers(which were few and far betweenanyway), I called several charitiesin Peoria and explained the situationto them. After several calls, I finallyfound a group that would help her.

My boss made fun of me. He toldme the woman would never comeback and buy anything from us andthat I was wasting my time. Hethought she should have just boughta new dryer to begin with.

True, she might not ever be in aposition to buy from us, but I wascounting on her telling everyoneshe knew how we had helped her. Besides, helping her was the rightthing to do.

When you get ready to make apurchase and you think you mightbe able to get a deal on somethingyou find on the Internet, be careful.

Now more than ever, it’s a“caveat emptor” world: “Let thebuyer beware.”

Brimfield may limit valedictoriansBy TERRY BIBOFor The Weekly Post

BRIMFIELD – Four valedictoriansshared the honors at Brimfield HighSchool graduation this month.

In future years, there may be just one.“Really, we don’t have much of a

weighted scale,” Brimfield CommunityUnit School District 309 SuperintendentJoe Blessman told board members at theMay meeting. “That’s why we ended upwith, a couple of years ago, 11 valedicto-rians.”

So Blessman is gathering informationabout the ways other Illinois school dis-tricts “weight” grades – how they givestudents more credit for more difficultsubjects. Physics, for example, mightcount more than basic math.

Along with learning how classes areweighted, Blessman plans to ask otherdistricts why they are weighted in thatfashion. Then Brimfield school boardmembers can select a rationale whichaligns with their own thinking.

Another option would be adopting acollegiate model, he said. Students couldbe placed in groups according to theiracademic achievements: magna cumlaude, summa cum laude, etc.

“It guess it was starting discussion,”said board member John Moon, who hasmet with Blessman twice on this issue.

Both emphasized this is preliminary.Blessman said he aims to come up withoptions.

“In my mind, valedictorian meansone,” Blessman said. “We’ve never hada valedictorian since I’ve been here.We’ve never had one.”

In other business, the board:

• Approved a change to the extracur-ricular code and drug testing whichwould include e-cigarettes.

• Approved the final calendar for2015-2016 to include snow days, a coop-erative purchasing program for the cafe-teria which enables the district to getbetter prices through Peoria County, reg-istration fees which include a 25 percentincrease for the family pass to events,from $100 to $125; and a 25-cent-an-hour increase for non-certified person-nel.

• Board member Scott Bauer asked ifthe 25-cent raise had always been thesame for everyone, since it means thoseat the lower end of the scale get a higher-percentage increase in wages. Blessmansaid the district does not want to end uppaying $20 an hour for cafeteria staff.

• After an executive session, boardmembers approved some personnel mat-ters. They accepted: the resignation ofAfter Care Director Mandi Carroll; theretirement of Liz McRae and LonyeGilles; and the 2018 retirements of LoraNelson and Jim Blane, who will receivea 6 percent retirement incentive. Newhires include Melissa Challacombe inthe cafeteria; Kurt Juerjens as junior highsoftball coach; Steve Updyke as juniorhigh assistant softball coach; JadenMaher as high school cheerleadingcoach; Jordan Rahn as high school pomscoach; Jeanie Jones as high school flagscoach; Erin Grider as a second gradeschool teacher and Carol Gilles as thenew After Care Director.TERRY BIBO can be reached at terry.bibo.free-

in research and develop-ment (R&D) and inspirethem into STEM careers.

Starting in 2012, wheneight organizations wereawarded contracts withthe state to link educa-tional and business re-sources to better preparestudents to compete inthe global economy, theSTEM Learning Ex-changes have been coor-dinated through multiplestate agencies in partner-ship with the IllinoisBusiness Round Table.

“Our goal is to betterconnect students to ca-reers in STEM fields, al-lowing them to seethemselves working in aresearch and develop-ment environment,” saidMark Harris, president &CEO of ISTI, an affiliateof the Illinois Science &Technology Coalition.

Since inception, theR&D STEM LearningExchange has involvedmore than 1,500 stu-dents.

In Williamsfield,School SuperintendentTim Farquer expressedpride. “Our STEM teamcontinues to prove thatit's not where you livebut the quality of yourinnovative idea that mat-ters,” Farquer said. “Welook forward to puttingmore of their projectsinto practice here atschool and around thecommunity. With teach-ers like Mrs. Secrist andMrs. Wight providingleadership, and commu-nity members like LauraHunt volunteering sup-port, we can't wait to seewhat our students donext.”

In Chicago, studentsdemonstrated variousskills in response to theirschools’ challenges.They built mobile appli-cations to address com-

munity needs; appliedbehavioral economics toencourage better envi-ronmental practices orfood choices; conducteda trade study for a mis-sile defense system; ad-dressed civic waterissues; increased partici-pation of youth in clini-cal trials; and created anenergy efficient systemthat can provide reliablepower for the commu-nity in disaster situa-tions.

That last report wasWilliamsfield’s contribu-tion. Illinois State Uni-versity’s Center forRenewable Energy origi-nated the task: “How canwe evaluate our criticalenergy needs and de-velop a prototype or planfor an energy-efficientsystem that can providereliable power for thecommunity in the midstor aftermath of aweather-related poweroutage?”

Science teacher LoriSecrist and computerteacher Kathy Wight ledthe team; Principal ZackBinder accompanies thegroup and helped pre-pare them.

“These Challenges area great example of howstudents can apply theircritical-thinking skillsnow and in the future,”said State Superintend-

ent of Education TonySmith. “By solving real-world problems, studentsare getting a chance tosee their personal valuein an ever-growingworkforce.”

Partnering in the eventwere Baxter Interna-tional Inc., ComEd,ISU’s Center for Renew-able Energy, Microsoft,Motorola Mobility, Mo-torola Solutions,Northrop Grumman Cor-poration, Takeda Phar-maceuticals, and TGGGroup.

The R&D STEMLearning Exchange ispart of Illinois Pathways,a public-private $10.3million initiativelaunched in 2012 to bet-ter prepare students tocompete in the globaleconomy.

Georgetown Univer-

sity Center on Educationand the Workforce in2011 reported that Illi-nois will have an esti-mated 319,000 STEM-related job openings by2018, with 93 percent ofthem requiring post-sec-ondary education.

“It’s incredible to seebrilliant young mindscoming together to solvecomplex, real-worldSTEM Challenges,” saidJim Schultz, Director ofthe state’s Department ofCommerce and Eco-nomic Opportunity.“STEM Challengesgives our students awonderful opportunity towork with experts to bet-ter enhance their learn-ing.”

Elmwood creates ‘Little Library’ in townBy JEFF LAMPEFor The Weekly Post

ELMWOOD – Readershave another place topick up books in Elm-wood.

The Morrison andMary Wiley Library re-cently joined a growingtrend across the countryby constructing two “Lit-tle Libraries” in town –outdoor locations thatoffer reading materialwith the motto, “Take aBook, Leave a Book.”

One of the Little Li-braries, built by local car-penter Ken Wills, standsin the northwest corner ofCentral Park.

A second library wasplaced in the West Parkplayground before beingdamaged by vandals.After it is rebuilt, thatstructure will be placedelsewhere in town.

The idea is simple:Make books availableand offer a place for oth-ers to share their books.

“It’s kind of an exten-sion of the library,” saidMichelle Armbruster, li-brary director. “We takedonations from people allthe time and make themavailable for people to

use.”Many of the books cur-

rently placed in the LittleLibrary were donated byElmwood teachers clean-ing out their clasrooms.

That was fine with theMcFarland brothers ofElmwood, who acted likethey had won the lotteryon a recent day after pick-ing out books.

“You mean we get tokeep these?” asked Ethan.

His smile indicated theproject was already awinner.

The McFarland boys of Elmwood – Andrew, Ethan and Timmy, from left to right–were happy to pick out a selection of books recently at a Little Library in Central Parkthat was put up by the Morrison and Mary Wiley Library. Photo by Jeff Lampe.

Florey’s homer, strikeouts lead B-EBy PHIL JOHNSON

For The Weekly Post

TREMONT – Going into re-gional play with a 26-5 record,one would think the Brimfield-Elmwood Lady Indians should bea “shoo-in” to win. After all, theyhad reached the supersectionalone season ago, falling just shortof state.

But, to the contrary, B-E actu-ally had a monumental task aheadto even survive regional play.

First there was a very toughmatchup versus a Deer Creek-Mackinaw team that had handedB-E one of its five losses.

Then came a matchup with aTremont team that was actuallyseeded ahead of the Lady Indiansin its own regional complex.

But with lights-out pitchingfrom Morgan Florey, air-tightteam defense and timely hitting,B-E claimed another regionalplaque and moved on to theKnoxville Sectional.

In the 2-0 championship gamevictory, Florey set the tone byleading off the Lady Indians’ firstby going deep. Coach Kurt Juer-jens had opted to use the hard-hit-ting Florey as his leadoff hitter inhopes Tremont would not opt topitch around her, a popular tactic

as the season has worn on.That strategy worked perfectly,

as Florey’s 15th homer of the sea-son was all B-E needed.

Just for insurance, Abby Fri-etsch crossed the plate with a runlater in the contest.

That was more than enough forFlorey, who compoundedTremont’s difficulties by throwingan 18-strikeout no-hitter.

“Along with Morgan’s pitching,we put together enough good atbats and made the plays in thefield to move on. The girls reallyearned this tough regional cham-pionship,” Lady Indians’ coachKurt Juerjens said.

In the 2-1 semifinal win overDee Mack, Hannah Baysingarcould claim major responsibilityfor both B-E runs.

Strikeouts by Florey (16) were abig part in ending the LadyChiefs’ season.

B-E was to face Beardstown onWednesday in a rematch of aLady Indians loss from earlier thisseason, suffered the day afterElmwood’s prom.

The winner advances to face thewinner between Taylor RidgeRockridge and Illini West in thesectional final on Saturday at 11a.m. in Knoxville.

PrincevilleThe 27-7 Lady Princes earned

the right to move from the re-gional they hosted to the sectionalthey will host by shutting outNorth Fulton by the score of 8-0.

“Chloe Lane paced our offenseand Jordan Kraft led our defense,”Princeville coach Chad Gardnersaid.

Lane reached base three times,while Kraft pitched to 12 strike-outs and no free passes. MaddieHite added a two-run single forthe Lady Princes in their ongoingvery successful 2015 season.
