WILLIAMSFIELD – Visi-tors to the space downstairsfrom Rux Funeral Home onEast Gale Street here maythink the regulars are holdingcourt, or are a motley crew ofcourt jesters. Regardless, theatmosphere and good cheeroffer the community somecommon ground.

And coffee grounds.For more than 10 years, the

Friends of the Park Coffee

Shop has welcomed a chang-ing group of local characterssharing coffee and conversa-tion, and raising a few bucksfor Billtown’s three parks asthey chat about the issues ofthe day.

Open from 7:30-9 Monday-Friday, the volunteer effortgrew out of a discussion onhelping local parks. Sincethen, they’ve chipped in onprojects for Doubet-Ben-jamin, Lions and Veteransparks ranging from a new

flagpole to new bathrooms –all while paying modest rentfor the room and bringingvarious treats to offer eachother and anyone else whoswings by and joins in.

There are other placesaround town to grab a cup ofcoffee now, concedes LarryMackie, the good-naturedringmaster of the breakfast-time chat-and-chew circus.

PRINCEVILLE – The Vil-lage’s Tax Increment Financecommittee plans to meet thisweek to consider howPrinceville’s TIF funds might beused to help the Lillie M. EvansLibrary’s $1.6 million expan-sion.

“The committee is me,[Trustee] Dave Sutherland and[Trustee] Jeff Troutman,” saidVillage President Sid Stahl.“We’ll look over some ideas –like maybe a lump-sum pledgeand annual contributions – andsee if the attorneys are comfort-able with it, too.”

The committee will make itsrecommendation to the VillageBoard at its next meeting, June6, Stahl said.

COFFEE: World’s problems solved herefrom beneath a baseball cap with aGE logo on the front. “But, youknow, it hasn’t affected our trade.”

As he leans back in his foldingchair, two coffee pots are crankingaway on a counter with a toaster,loaves of bread, and assorted jel-lies. On long tables, creamers,sweeteners and teas are available.Nearby last week, a plate ofwashed grapes and a sliced-up,fluffy cake are available to sample.

“There’s always something

somebody brings in,” says CaroleMackie. “We all chip in.”

There’s a couple of jars of in-stant coffee, too, for demandingfolks to add to their cups to bolsterthe coffee’s strength.

“You just can’t please some peo-ple,” Larry says, laughing.

Laughing is a big part of the get-together, it seems. On the windowabove the entrance hangs a signdeclaring the premises “the tableof wisdom and grumpy old mencoffee house.”

Larry chimes in, “Well, wemostly discuss all the world’sproblems and solve them.

“After the Park Board formed in2014, some thought we could justride off into the sunset,” Larrysays, “but nobody wanted to closeit. So we kept going.”

It’s the conversation as well asthe contributions that keep it alive,and lively.

“I’d say this is a lot like collegecourses,” Larry says. “You end up,there’s B.S.”

PRINCEVILLE: Library addition discussed5,000 square feet to thecurrent 7,400 square-footspace, according to li-brary director Beth Dut-tlinger, who said theproject already is gettingsome support from thestate.

“We were notified thatour application for the[Secretary of State’s]Live and Learn Construc-tion Grant Program wasapproved for $125,000,the maximum amount,”Duttlinger said. “We’revery fortunate.”

The addition, designedby the library’s originalarchitect, Donald West-lake, to match the currentappearance, will be on alot created when the li-

brary cleared the lot tothe north on Walnut.

The addition will cre-ate a new adult section,permitting the expansionof the current children’sroom, new meetingrooms, and various stor-age spaces.

“We’ve been planningthis since about 2008,”Duttlinger said. “We’revery excited.”

Stahl appreciates thepotential promise, hesaid.

“It could be a great ad-dition to our commu-nity,” he said. “It’s muchneeded.”

In other news from itsMay 17 meeting, the Vil-lage Board opened threebids for new playground

equipment for CuttersGrove Park, and itawarded a $45,000 bid toPlay & Park Structures ofNorthern Illinois, basedin Moline, which will su-pervise its installation,which is likely to taketwo days sometime thissummer.

Also, the Board OK’ddonating $500 to Her-

itage Days, plus under-writing the costs forportable restrooms, andtabled action on a pack-age of three proposed or-dinances pertaining todrug-related offenses andimpoundment of vehi-cles, which were referredto Peoria County SheriffMike McCoy’s office forfeedback.

Rambling through central Illinoispondering the pageantry of a day atthe horse track.

uuuThe Farmington City Council will

meet tonight at6:30 p.m. to de-cide whether ornot to pursue aStreetscapinggrant from theIllinois Depart-ment of Trans-portation. Theproposed plancalls for replacingsidewalks and curbs in the down-town business district to improve thelooks of that developing area. ... Iwas on the Elmwood City Councilwhen a similar project was com-pleted. That did not please everyone,particularly those who say the proj-ect cost too much (which it did).Also, some stairs and ramps arepoorly planned and, yes, there arecracks in the concrete. Even so, theElmwood Streetscaping changed thelook of our downtown for the better.If IDOT will pay 80 percent of asimilar project for Farmington, offi-cials would be silly to say “No.”Combine new sidewalks with facadework being done already and you upthe odds of attracting more new

businesses to that oh-so-importantpart of town.

uuuI start every Kentucky Derby hop-

ing for a Triple Crown. Very seldomdo I end The Run for the Roses hop-ing for the same. Generally myhorse runs second, third or worse. Soit went at this year’s Derby. Withmoney on the line (courtesy of Elm-wood bookie/attorney Ashlee Har-mon), Exaggerator ran a strongsecond. Part of me feared that thedark bay colt, whose great grandpawas famed Seattle Slew, was des-tined to run second all along, just asAlydar had done three times to Af-firmed in 1978. The most notable ofthose Triple Crown runner-up fin-ishes was in the Belmont, afterwhich I kicked a kitchen chair underthe table and made my Dad furious(Google that neck-and-neck chase,which some call the best TripleCrown race ever). I didn’t care Dadwas mad. I was 11 and my horse hadlost. ... What 11-year-old cares aboutthe Belmont? Yeah, I was a weirdkid. Weird adult, too. Things mostpeople could care less about fasci-nate me. Chickens. Rhubarb. TheBuffalo Bills. Pet snakes. Horse rac-ing. Well, so what. Saturday’s Preak-ness was perfect. Exaggerator ranbrilliantly on a sloppy track. My kids

learned what it means to be a “mud-der.” Ashlee, gimme $100 on Exag-gerator to win the Belmont June 11.

uuuI’ll pay $36 cash money to any

high school track athlete who emailsme a picture of them next to the BurlIves Studio on the Eastern Illinoiscampus. Among my quirks is a keeninterest in Burl, whose grave nearHunt City, Ill., I once visited. Why?His first name alone is cause for re-spect. You can’t say “Burl” withoutthinking “big hoss.” Plus, one of hismiddle names was Ivanhoe. Hecould play football, sing and act.What a combo. He’s an Illinois all-time great that no kid knows about.What a shame. If I had a few morekids of my own, one would havebeen named Burl. ... Parting shot:We just got a new snake in the of-fice! No, we didn’t hire DonaldTrump. Our newcomer, Milky Jr., is a(so-far) friendly milk snake. Youmay recall our former mascot,Milky, spent 10 months in the officebefore slithering off at Camp BigSky last May. We spent Tuesdayadorning Milky Jr.’s pen with leaves,sticks and a shed antler. That’s allpart of my new motto, “The onlygood snake is a happy snake.”Contact Jeff Lampe at 231-6040 or

Technology has brought us a longway in a short time. I graduatedfrom college in 1994, and at thattime they were talking about gettingsomething called “email” for all thestudents the following year.

Now, even kids in grade schoolnot only know what email is, butprobably have their own account.

In 1998, I wasteaching highschool English. Itaught studentshow to go to thelibrary and re-search differentsubjects usingdifferent sources.I had a game thatI played withthem to teach. It was an informa-tional scavenger hunt.

Students had to draw a card froma hat with a question on it. Thequestion might be “How far away isthe Moon?” or “What’s the popula-tion of Biggsville?” I includedthings like “Where did Mr. So-and-So (a teacher) graduate from col-lege?” and “Who was Roosevelt’ssecond vice-president?”

There were about 50 questions inall, and each student had to drawfive cards one at a time, and answereach one before drawing the next.They also had to document wherethe information came from.We drove the librarian crazy thatday, pulling out encyclopedias,county plat books, almanacs,Reader’s Guides, and all sorts ofreference books.

The kids had a blast.Nowadays, there’d be no running

around. The kids would sit in frontof a computer, type the questioninto a search engine (probablyGoogle), and be done within fiveminutes. Back then, it took an en-tire 90-minute class period to finish.

It was that year that I used a classperiod to devote to using an internetbrowser. The kids were amazed thatwe could find information on such

obscure topics as “belly buttonlint,” or “hit songs written by U.S.Vice Presidents” (can YOU nameit?).

One kid in class refused to pay at-tention. He told me that when hegot out of school, he’d never use acomputer. Ever. He was going to bea mechanic and he’d have no usefor one.

I’d love to run into him today andsee how much he wishes he’d paidattention.

Yes, technology is a wonderfulthing and we’ve grown by leapsand bounds in just a short time. Butlike the late Paul Harvey used tosay, “not all what we call progressis progress.”

It hasn’t been that long ago thatthe bank I used didn’t even have ac-count numbers. It was in the late’70s or early ’80s when I used thatbank, which was located inFairview. The employee whohelped set up my account explainedthat they were small enough thatthey still did everything by name.They took pride in knowing eachone of their customers personally.

It wasn’t long until they had tofollow the rest of the banking in-dustry and assign account numbersto their customers.

When I was just a wee lad, myparents had their mortgage with aplace in Elmwood called ElmwoodSavings and Loan. I don’t remem-ber a lot about the place, but itseems like it was on the southeastcorner of Main and Magnolia.

I remember that Mom and Dadwould talk about having to go over(from Knoxville) to talk to RalphBatcher. When they would walk inthe door, he’d know them both byname. He’d even pat me on thehead, and ruffle my hair, somethingit took decades to forgive him for.

When my grandfather, whofarmed outside of Maquon for mostof his adult life, needed to get aloan, he’d just walk in and talk tohis banker in Yates City. I don’t

think Grandpa ever filled out a loanapplication in his life. He’d go in,tell them that he needed somemoney, tell them when he could payit back, and that was that.

Of course, in those days, youcould write a check without moneyin the bank, and hope that youmade it to the bank with a depositbefore the check made it there.Nowadays, the money comes out ofyour account before the ink is dryon the check.

I have a friend in Galesburgwho’s a little older than me. He’shad his mortgage paid off for sev-eral years, has no credit cards, payscash for his cars or trucks, and basi-cally just sits at home and lets hispension accumulate in his bank ac-count. He told me he hadn’t beeninside the bank in probably 10years.

He decided to help out his re-cently married son and daughter-in-law by loaning them the money tobuy a car. Their credit rating waspretty low so they couldn’t get a carloan. My friend went to the bank toget a loan in his own name figuringhis son could pay him backmonthly.

They put him through such a rig-marole that he finally just threw uphis hands and said to the banker,“Just go in there and get me$30,000 in cash out of my accountand we’ll forget this loan business!”

That set the banker on his ear butnot nearly as much as when mybuddy said, “Look, I can just aseasily have you cut me a check foreverything I’ve got in here and takeit down the street to another bank.I’m sure they’d like to keep mymoney for me!”

We can marvel at progress all welike, but as for my friend, you’llnever convince him that we’vemade any at all. He’s convincedwe’ve gone backward.

BRIMFIELD — If two dozenpeople who attended BrimfieldCommunity Unit School District309’s May 18 meeting get their way,secretary Cindy Norton would gether job back.

“She is the face of the school dis-trict,” said Rick Linthicum, whosaid he moved to Brimfield fouryears ago specifically so his chil-dren could attend Brimfield schools.

It appeared most members of thecrowd came to support Norton, theonly member of the non-certifiedstaff whose contract was not re-newed in April.

Debbie Blackburn, who said shehas driven a bus for the district forthe past 13 years, called Norton’swork “above and beyond ...You’vegot to have a heart for children, andshe does.”

Rich Norton, understandably, wasthe most impassioned of the threespeakers who addressed the board.Cindy Norton is his wife. Hedoubted the two rationales offered

for non-renewal. “Performance issues” hadn’t been

raised before, he said. And he didn’tbelieve the later suggestion of a“budget issue” since the board han-dles its money well.

Instead, Rich Norton cited prob-lems with outgoing SuperintendentJoe Blessman, problems Nortonthought had been resolved twoyears ago.

“On the way out the door hewants to throw a sucker punch atsomebody because he can’t do any-thing else,” Norton fumed.

Sometimes waving his arms andtossing in a couple of modest swearwords, Norton berated the board,saying it doesn’t handle conflicts ofinterest well and gave too muchcredit to information from people atrisk of losing their jobs. He saidboard members couldn’t look himin the eye.

“I’ve been looking you in the eyethe whole time,” said board memberScott Bauer.

Norton conceded that much wastrue, and sat down with little further

comment when told his time wasup.

Later, Norton said at least he’dgotten to tell his side of the story.

Blessman declined to comment. The discussion took up most of

the 35-minute meeting, the first inmonths which did not have an exec-utive session.

In other business, the board: set2016-17 meeting dates and final cal-endar; approved entering an inter-governmental agreement for thePeoria County Cooperative Pur-chasing Program; approved registra-tion fees, including a new $25 fee todefray the cost of dual credit classeswith Illinois Central College; ap-proved co-op agreements with Elm-wood; and amended some studentpolicies, including development of aprogram to manage concussion andhead injuries suffered by students.

Board members were told the dis-trict will have to bid busing againbecause current operator KevinHasselbacher is selling the business. TERRY BIBO can be reached by email at

[email protected].

Brimfield board hears support for secretary



will be presented by Michael Gray, postcommander.

The Honor Guard will shoot at Vet-eran’s Park at 11:45 a.m. At noon, HonorGuard will shoot at Williamsfield Ceme-tery and the Roll Call of the Dead will beread. A potluck lunch will be served at12:25 at the Norman Legion Building.

Other visits to cemeteries are plannedin Billtown starting at 8 a.m. and in Elm-wood, where a parade starts at 10 a.m. atCentral Park. A bus is provided for seniorsis at 9:30 a.m.

There are also ceremonies in Farming-ton starting at 10 a.m. at Reed Park and at11:30 at the Yates City Cemetery.

Part of that is observing and appreciat-ing the modest and momentous monu-ments that mark the fallen and ourfamily, friends and neighbors who havegone before.

The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is considered one of the most destructive forest pests ever seen in North America and have now been found in Peoria and Tazewell Counties. EAB only attack species of North American ash trees. Universities and professionals are suggesting injecting your ash trees to protect them from EAB infestation.

Golf Green uses a powerful insecticide known to stop these pests! Once EAB infects your ash trees, it’s too late to treat.

EAB adult beetles are bright, metallic green and about 1/2 inch long with a flattened back.

EAB adult beetles leave a small D-shaped exit hole in the bark when they emerge in Spring.

EAB larvae create long serpentine galleries that weave back and forth across the woodgrain.

Several woodpecker species feed on EAB larvae. Heavy woodpecker damage on an ash tree could be a sign of EAB infestation.

Alyssa Roll relieved Morgan Led-better in the circle to begin the thirdinning and pitched to just two hitsand one run, giving B-E’s offense achance. But they just didn’t have iton this day.

struck for six runs in the top of thefirst, and along with Morgan Led-better’s seven strikeouts, endedOrion’s season.

Montana Ledbetter was 2-for-3with two RBIs, and B-E hitters didnot strike out once in the 6-0 final.

“Losing seniors Kennedy Dura,Morgan Ledbetter, and Allison Pill-man will be tough to replace, butthe return of Alyssa Roll to pitch,Gracie Scherler in right field, andGrace LaFollett in center field willbe key,” coach Kurt Juerjens said.

“Freshmen Delaney Smith, Mon-tana Ledbetter, and Lindsey Stengerexperienced a lot of good inningsthis season. We’re hoping our youngplayers will continue to work ontheir game this summer.”

after coming in ranked first aftersectionals, coach Toby Vallas hadsage advice.

“I told them, ‘Never feel bad forbeing an all-stater,’” Vallas said.“Thursday was perfect. We ran ourbest times and broke all three schoolrecords.

“On Saturday, I think we showedsome fatigue in the 4x200.”

That was compounded after the4x200. Vallas said due to a mistakein the order of medals, runners inthe 4x200 had to remain on the in-field in the sun after their race. Bythe time awards were over, theFarmington quartet had just fiveminutes to prepare for the 4x400.

“I think that mentally fatiguedthem, too,” Vallas said. “But Ithought we ran great considering theconditions. I expect next year we’llbe on top of it. We’re a year awayfrom being really good.”

Nobody is talking about next yearyet among boys state qualifiers.

Expecially not Farmington sopho-more Judd Anderson, who won the300 hurdles at Friday’s KnoxvilleSectional in a Class 1A-leading timeof 39.8 seconds.

In the process, Anderson beat outElmwood-Brimfield junior Hayden

Golemon, who had won a battle be-tween the two hurdlers in a regularseason race.

Golemon placed second and qual-ified for state in a time of 40.77 de-spite hitting four hurdles, includinga hard hit on the second-to-last hur-dle that threw him off stride. Heranks 10th after sectionals andplaced ninth last year.

“He just got off his stride a littleand maybe started overstriding,”Elmwood-Brimfield coach GreggMeyers said. “But he had a goodstart. As long as we get over the hur-dles and get after it, I think he’ll bein good shape.”

In the 110 hurdles, Golemon falsestarted. But Golemon was not theonly E-B athlete who was “off,” ac-cording to Meyers. The team placedfourth overall with 49 points, wellbehind winner Rock Island Alle-man’s 127 points. Several athleteswere not at their best, Meyers said.

Junior thrower Jackson Harknessqualified for state in shotput with athrow of 49 feet, 6 inches, butscratched three times in discus, hisspecialty.

“I felt bad for him,” Meyers said.“If he had just stood in the front ofthe ring and thrown it he wouldprobably have made it. He was defi-

nitely one of the top three.”Meyers said a throw of 51 feet at

state in shotput would give Hark-ness “a chance to move on andmaybe place.”

E-B did qualify sophomoresTrevor “T-Dunk” Dunkel (10:07.54)and Cooper Hoffmann (10:09.59) inthe 3,200. Dunkel’s time was a ca-reer best and Hoffmann ran a grittyrace shortly after his opening leg onhe 4x800 relay.

“T-Dunk ran like an animal,”Meyers said.

That 4x800 relay of Hoffmann,Alex Hermann, Griff Inskeep andMatt Osmulski qualified for state in8:29.21. Osmulski turned a gap of30 yards into a 5-yard victory on hisanchor leg. The E-B 4x800 relayranks 15th in Class 1A heading intothe state meet.

“It’s going to have to be fasterdown there,” Meyers said. “I thinkthey’re going to have to run 8:15 toget through.”

For Princeville, junior Scott Sned-den moved on in the 200 after plac-ing fourth at Knoxville in a time of23.04 seconds.

Preliminaries start Thursday atO’Brien Stadium on the campus ofEastern Illinois University. Class 1Afinals are Saturday.
