5,000 same-sex marriages reported in Illinois

Treasures a-plenty in Tonica TGS hires two staff members

By Christi WarrenShaw Media Services

More than 5,000 same-sex couples have been married in Illinois since the law allowing same-sex marriages took effect on June 1, according to a news release from Equal-ity Illinois, an LGBT advo-cate organization.

The survey of Illinois counties conducted by Equality Illinois found that at least 3,274 mar-riage licenses were issued, and 1,694 civil unions were converted to mar-riages.

Numbers recorded in area counties, accord-ing to Equality Illinois, include: Henry County — two civil union licenses

converted to marriage licenses; LaSalle County — 10 civil union licenses converted and six mar-riage licenses; Marshall County — none; and Bureau County — two civil union conversions and one marriage license. These numbers are all taken from the Equality Illinois survey.

Tracking the exact

number is a challenge because the 102 Illinois counties’ record-keeping systems vary. The survey found some county clerks combined the licenses and conversions into one number. Other counties – including DeKalb – said they treat all marriages the same, and thus do not keep a record of the same-sex marriages. If

they had, the number of newly recorded same-sex marriages would easily be over 5,000.

Five counties didn’t respond to the survey, the news release says, and nine counties reported no licenses or conversions issued.

The survey found that most of the marriages happened in Cook Coun-

ty with 2,370 new licens-es and 800 conversions being reported.

Rock Island County was another county with a large number of mar-riages. According to the survey, it reported 108 marriage licenses and 62 civil union conversions.

TONICA — The old saying says “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” There are a lot of hidden treasures located in Mitch Urban’s lot behind his Tonica home. Three and one-half acres of land holds trailers and build-ings full of antique cars, antique motorcycles and antiques of all shapes and sizes. From hubcaps to pickaxes to free weights to tan-ning beds — if you’re looking for it, odds are Urban has it.

“That’s a 1948 wooden Bally pinball machine,” Urban said. “I used to love playing them.”

Several cars sit around the lot, most for parts but many in the process of rebuilding. Off in one corner of the lot sits a late ‘60s Volkswagen Beetle painted like “Herbie, the Love Bug.” An Inter-national Scout from 1968 rests nearby. A rare 1954 Kaiser Man-hattan rests near the front of the lot, mostly intact and waiting for a buyer, a short distance from a 1963 Pontiac Bonneville Urban just pulled the engine out of for another car.

Dozens of grill assemblies and transmissions lie in a nearby building with a loft nearly filled to the brim, bursting with hub-caps from nearly every make and model car.

“I’ve been doing this my whole life,” Urban said. “I’ve lived in this house since I was 6. It’s just been building from then.

“My father started the business in 1958. I was a year and one month old,” Urban said. “He got cancer when I was pre-entered in the Marine Corps right after my 17th birthday. A whole bunch of my buddies were going into the Marine Corps, and I was going to go with them. My father was in the Navy, and he told me he got cancer when he heard I was going into the Marine Corps.”

Urban moves from antique to antique with a certain amount of pride and a nearly encyclopedic memory of each item.

TONICA — Tonica Grade School added two teachers and some techni-cal assistance to the pay-roll at its July 16 meeting. Karen Jones was hired as the new middle school sci-ence teacher, and Lindsey Bienemann will take the position of autism instruc-tor. Both positions are for the 2014-15 school year.

Jones was one of four teachers interviewed for the science position out of seven applicants. Jones is returning to the teaching force after a year as a sub-stitute teacher.

“We felt after the inter-views, she really fits in with what we’re trying to do here,” Superintendent John Suarez said. “She has PBIS experience, a very diverse background, her references all checked out very well, and I felt she meshed well with the staff members during her inter-view. She was clearly the stand-out candidate.”

Bienemann was one of four candidates who applied for autism instructor. She is a first-year teacher and the fifth autism instructor hired in the last five years by the school district.

In other action, the board:

• Set the rate of pay for Ronda Ketner at $50 an hour. Ketner’s position is shared with Dimmick School.

• Tabled discussion on the pay rates for admin-istrative staff members Monica Krieser and Jessica Schneider.

• Approved changes to Tonica News photo/Ken SchroederMitch Urban stands with a U.S. Cavalry sword inside one of several trailers full of antiques at his antique yard on Ray Richardson Road in Tonica.

Area girls attend Girl Scout camp

by Dixie [email protected]

OGLESBY — Fifty-two girls from Oglesby, Tonica, Lostant, Peru, LaSalle and surrounding areas attended the Girl Scout Service Unit Camp held in Lehigh Park last week.

In its 16th year, the camp provides skills for its attendees which are useful not only in the woods, but in everyday life as well. Girls have learned how to cook on the grill, outdoor games, make paper lanterns, pet safety, fingernail painting and hair care, as well as many other skills. Other stations the girls attended during the week included cupcake design, swimming and a hot air balloon.

The Scouts also practiced sing-alongs, flag ceremo-nies and traditional Girl Scout skills like the Girl Scout pledge.

“We want them to be independent thinkers,” said Chris Hubbard.

Hubbard who is a vol-unteer and former camp director said the Oglesby Girl Scout Camp is the last of several day camps for Girl Scouts in the area.

Volunteers from the Pet Project, Hy-Vee, the Ogles-by Police K9 unit and other businesses have kept the campers busy and having fun throughout the week.

Among the Lostant and Tonica girls who attended camp were: Phoebe Kammer, (front row, left), Megan Stasiak, Guinevere Wiesbrock and Megan McGuire. (Back row, left) Piper Kammer, MacKenzie Chambers, Alaina Stasiak and McKenzie Yarger. The girls learned camping skills and had sing-alongs during the week.

“This is a 1951 Korean War generator unit for a battal-ion. This unit did the energy for an entire platoon over in Korea,” Urban said. “Very heavy. It’s got all of the old schematics for it. It’s dated 1951 in the date code. It’s got to weigh over 2,000 pounds.”

In a building downtown,

Urban has several items that are likely unique in the area. A 1950 wooden Wurlitzer jukebox sits mostly intact in the front building, ready for restoration. In front of that, a fairly recent tanning bed shares floor space with a white coffin.

“We used to use that dur-ing Halloween all the time,” Urban said. “It was a lot of fun.”

A break in at Lostant Library

Lostant woman arrested

Law strengthening GDL program took effect July 1

By Dixie [email protected]

LOSTANT – The Lostant Library was the victim of a break in, which happened between the afternoon of July 12 and the morning of July 14.

According to librar-ian Chris Hubbard, several items were stolen.

“Taken were two laptops, which were given to us by donation, our petty cash which was 20 some dollars and then candy bars we sold the kids,” Hubbard said.

Further damage to the library from the break in included books that were thrown on the floor along with other items. There are outside lights that go on with a timer around the building, Hubbard said.

“They will probably now be putting in cameras because we talked about that after last year’s break in,” she said. “This is very sad that a town of 500 peo-

ple is in a situation where they have to spend money to do this as opposed to more positive things for the library.”

Last summer’s break in had nothing taken, but the door that was opened was pried apart and severely damaged, according to Hubbard.

Hubbard said the incident will not impede other pro-grams currently planned.

“We are lucky that our board has a little money put aside, and of course, we have insurance,” she said.

LaSalle County Sher-iff Deputy Corporal Dave Woolford was called to the library on July 14 and noted vandalism in the library.

“Entry was made, and we noted vandalism inside with some items taken,” Wool-ford said. “An unknown per-son or persons made entry into the library”

Woolford along with Lostant Police Chief Darin Crask are investigating the incident.

LOSTANT — On June 15, the LaSalle County Sheriff’s deputies were investigating a domes-tic problem in Lostant in Hope Township. Deputies arrested Dionna Buchanan, 23, of Lostant for battery, resisting a peace offi-cer and two counts of aggravated battery. She was transported to the LaSalle Coun-ty Jail where she was being held in lieu of a bond hearing before a judge.

SPRINGFIELD — The law proposed by Illi-nois Secretary of State Jesse White to further improve Illinois’ Grad-uated Driver Licensing (GDL) program took effect July 1. The new law requires people ages 18 to 20 who failed to attend driver educa-tion to complete a six-hour driver training and education course before applying for a driver’s license.

“Since we implement-ed one of the nation’s most comprehensive GDL programs in 2008, teen driving fatalities

have dropped nearly 60 percent,” said White. “But even the best pro-grams can be made bet-ter, and this legislation will help strengthen our state’s GDL program, and hopefully save more lives.”

Prior to this law, when teens turned 18 — even without any driver education whatsoever – they were allowed to apply for and obtain a driver’s license. In 2013, there were 37,543 driv-er’s licenses issued to 18 to 20 year olds. Of those, 18,532 did not take driver education.

The six-hour driver training course includes a variety of critical traf-fic safety components, including instruction on traffic laws; highway signs, signals and mark-ings; issues commonly associated with motor vehicle accidents such as poor decision-making, risk-taking, impaired driving, distraction, speed, not wearing a safety belt, driving at night, failure to yield the right-of-way, tex-ting while driving, using wireless communication devices and alcohol and drug awareness.

Eileen DiltsTUCSON, Ariz. — Grace Eileen Dilts passed away Satur-

day, July 12, 2014, in Tucson, Ariz.Eileen was born Sept. 18, 1929, in Tonica to George and

Eileen is survived by one daughter, Carol (Lano) Balulescu of Acton, Mass.; two sons, Jeffrey Dilts of Tucson, Ariz., and Roger Dilts of Marana, Ariz.; five grandchildren, Lindsey Dilts, and Michael, Adam, Molly and Alex Balulescu; and two great-grandchildren, William and Elizabeth Staley.

Eileen was preceded in death by her husband, William Dilts; and four siblings, Glenn Morris, Marguerite Sheffield, Gene Morris and Dorothy Harper.

Services were held Friday, July 18, at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church in Tucson, Ariz.

Memorial contributions may be made to St. Mark’s Unit-ed Methodist Church, 1431 W. Magee Road, Tucson, AZ 85704-2116.

Ficek Electric wins state contract

LASALLE — Jennifer Bias, president of Ficek Electric and Communications Inc., LaSalle, has announced that on July 8, the state of Illinois officially awarded Ficek Elec-tric and Communications a multi-year, multi-million dollar telecom maintenance contract.

Ficek Electric outbid AT&T to win the initial one year state-wide contract last year. Backed by a 98.9 per-cent approval rating, Ficek Electric was, again, Illinois’ choice in 2014, and will con-tinue to provide ongoing maintenance for telephone systems within all state agen-cies, as well as the installa-tion of any new telephone systems and structured low voltage cabling projects as needed throughout the next 10 years.

“I’m thrilled to have won this contract,” said Bias. “It’s a great victory for a small, but dedicated, family-owned business. I’m excited to see Ficek Electric evolve, succeed and create new employment opportunities along the way.

With last year’s contract, we generated nearly 30 new jobs locally and across the state. With this new contract, we hope to add another 25 to 30 employees. Employees are key to our company’s suc-cess, and that is most impor-tant to me. By growing and succeeding as a team, we all benefit.”

In February of 2012, Bias won a $115,000 technology “make-over” prize from the WBENC (Women’s Business Enterprise National Coun-cil). The company was also named the NDIA (National Defense Industry Asso-ciation) Illinois/ Iowa Small Government Contractor of the year later in the year, and Bias was featured on the cover story of the summer 2012 edition of Tri-County Women magazine.

Ficek Electric and Com-munications Inc. was estab-lished by Bill Ficek in 1976. Joining the company in 1979, Jennifer took over as the company’s owner and presi-dent upon her father’s retire-ment in 2005.

Editor’s note: This is another installment in a series by former staff writer Barb Kromphardt.

After failing two mammograms, I was told I would need a needle biopsy, and because of the nature of my condition, it would mean a surgi-cal biopsy. The nurse at the mammogram center checked with the surgical practice just across the street and came back with a date just more than two weeks later.

The long wait was my fault. We had a family vacation planned for many months for the following week, and they told me there was no reason to cancel it. Whatever was wrong with my breast – if anything – wasn’t going to get any worse in a couple of weeks.

So, we went on vacation, and oddly, I had a pretty good time. As I’ve said before, I’m a bit of a hypochondriac and can work myself into a frenzy over very little. But now, facing the possi-bility of cancer, I was strangely calm. I still didn’t think I really could have breast cancer and that this was all a mistake.

I’m sure the prayers of my friends and family were holding me up, as well.

After returning from vacation, I had my meet-ing with the surgeon. The examination room was filled with posters of diseases I didn’t want to think about. My angel – the nurse from the mam-mogram center – was there with me. She told me she would be there for me as long as I needed her. I told her with a shaky smile I hoped I didn’t have to see her again for a very long time.

The surgeon came in, gave me a brief exam, and then explained what he was going to do. My breast would be numbed, a needle would be inserted into the site of the suspicious sparkles on the mammogram, and then the cells would be removed.

The only good news was that I would be given conscious sedation rather than general anesthe-sia. In other words, I’d still be out during the pro-cedure but breathing on my own.

The surgeon was optimistic, and he said the odds were very good the “sparkles” were only cal-cium deposits and not cancer, and if they were, well, we had caught it nice and early.

He was pretty thorough, and I didn’t have too many questions, but I did have one thing I want-ed to tell him. You see, I’m adopted, so I don’t know what my genetic history is regarding breast cancer.

But my emotional history was something dif-ferent. They had found the same sparkles in my adopted mother’s breast many times. In her case, they were just calcium deposits until the last time, when they found she had breast cancer.

About 10 years later, long after her mastectomy scars had healed, the breast cancer came back, Stage 4 this time. Within a month, she was dead.

So, choking back tears, I told the doctor, “So I know how this whole process can go, and how this can end.”

When I went out to schedule the biopsy, I told the clerk I was eager to get it done as soon as possible. We set up a tentative time for early the following week.

The next day the phone rang. It was the sur-geon’s office. There had been an opening, and I was set for two days later, on Friday morning.

I was glad to have the procedure moved up. I wasn’t looking forward to it, and this way I wouldn’t have to worry about it over the week-end.

I notified my family and faithful friends, and sent up a few desperate prayers of my own. I prayed for peace and calmness, for steadiness in the surgeon’s hands, oh, and for some positive results, if it wasn’t too much to ask.

COMMENTARY

Weather or notBear with me on this one, but it

will make sense eventually.Last July, I went to the LaSalle

and Marshall-Putnam County 4-H Fairs. It was hot. Very hot. I think I lost 15 pounds that month.

(I readily admit. There are people who perspire. I’m not one of them. There are people who sweat. I’m not one of them, either. I precipi-tate. If I shake my head during the summer and you’re within 15 feet of me, you *will* get wet. I apologize.)

This past winter, it was cold. Very cold. One of the coldest winters on record according to the National Weather Service. I know I’m not telling you something you don’t know, but I’m closing in on the point.

April 2013 was wet. It’s been called a millennial rain, and some towns are still trying to rectify prob-lems the flooding caused.

On July 15 during the midday, it was 61 degrees. Someone on Faux

News called it a polar vortex, but it still was cold enough the smokers in the office were wearing coats while they alleviated their next nicotine fit.

You can’t really call it global warming or global cooling. Even if you don’t believe in such things, you do have to admit if nothing else, the weather is getting extrem-er. It’s a made-up word, but it fits.

We may not be breaking records daily, but we’re approaching records which were set over the course of decades and often within the same year.

Last July, temperatures were in the mid-to-upper 90s. The record

high is 112, set back in 1954. July 15, 2014, the low temperature was 57. The lowest ever was 48 degrees set in 1975.

Is this fluky? Possibly, but for the last several years, weather seems to have been high or low with few in-betweens. One of the worst droughts in the summer was fol-lowed by a millennial rain in the spring. Two years ago, we had an incredibly mild winter, but last year more than made up for that.

Is it pollution and man’s tamper-ing that is melting the polar icecaps, or is this part of a cycle that’s been continuing since before recorded history? There’s ample evidence for both.

All I know is if this keeps up, the man who invents a cream to rejuve-nate skin from frostbite with an SPF of 75 is going to be one rich son-of-a-gun.

On the street What was your favorite vacation and why?

“I would have to say my favorite is the trip I took with a friend down the Grand Canyon in a raft. Actually there were two rafts in the group with

about 40 people. It was very interesting.”Ken Schertz, Bloomington

“I just got back from Mexico. It was wonderful just to relax for an entire week. No worries for an

entire week.”Denise Schertz, Normal

“To Florida because I got to see the ocean. I stayed at Molex Park right outside of Tampa. I went with my

girlfriend.”Alex Parker, Tonica

“I’d have to say going to Six Flags in St. Louis because my best friend got engaged to his wife

there.”Earl Summers, Tonica

“My favorite vacation was in an all inclusive vacation with my kids to Jamaica in like 1990. There are a lot of good memories there. You could do whatever you wanted. No wallet, no keys, no watch, no phone — what a vacation!

That ranks tops.”Mark Lemrise, Tonica
