A propane supply emergency was declared Monday in the state of Illinois. According to a press release, Gov. Pat Quinn declared the emergency in the wake of distribution problems around the state. Damp fall weather and recent cold temperatures are being blamed. With demand for propane surging, its price is skyrocketing — and less of it is available for local customers. In recent days, the pergallon price for propane has nearly doubled to more than $3.60 in Ogle County and the surrounding area. With cold temperatures continuing, experts expect the trend to continue. Mike Faivre, president of Burkardt’s LP Gas, Polo, said last week that his company usually gets its propane from pipelines in Tampico and Rockford, but now
companies are allocated only so much because of limited supplies. During the winter, he said, his company typically gets three to five semi-truck loads a day. Now, its lucky to just get one. “We’re short-filling people, limiting the amount of gallons they get,� Faivre said, adding, “Our customers are being taken care of.� How much they get, he said, depends on their usage, but the rule of thumb is that the company gives enough to get a customer by for a month. Because the company is giving limited amounts to customers, it’s making twice as many deliveries, he said. “We’ve been working 14 to 15 hours a day for the last month, six days a week. That’s what we’ve had to do to keep up with the cold weather,� Faivre said. “We’ve been in business for 32 years, and it’s never been like this.� Turn to A3

Some customers have prices locked From A1 All of Burkardt’s customers have their prices locked in because of prewinter agreements, so the price spike won’t affect them, Faivre said. Ray Woessner, general manager at Carroll Service Company, Lanark, said Monday that the problem was accelerated last fall when more propane than usual was used to dry the corn crop, coupled with more being used for residential and commercial heating due to colder than normal temperatures in October, November, and December. “This didn’t start in January,” he said. “I anticipate we will continue to have these problems as long as the cold weather persists.” Carroll Service Company, which serves numerous customers in western Ogle County, has been unable to get enough propane from its usual suppliers in Tampico and Rockford. “We’ve been unable to get an adequate supply locally,” Woessner said. “We’ve had
to resort to transporting it from Kansas and Louisiana.” So far, the firm hasn’t had to short-fill customers. “We’ve been able to supply our customers,” he said. Many Carroll Service Company customers won’t feel the cost-pinch immediately because they signed contracts which locked in prices months ago. “We’re honoring those contracts,” Woessner said. Now that the state emergency declaration has been made, regulations on propane truck drivers will be eased so they can travel more easily to other states to fill their tanks. The state has eased limits on how long the drivers can work within a 24-hour period, allowing them to drive farther to pick up the fuel. According to the Energy Department, around 5.5 million U.S. households, mostly in the Midwest and South, use propane to heat their homes. David Giuliani, Sauk Valley Media, contributed to this story.

Sub zero temps invade county By Vinde Wells Editor Sub zero temperatures coupled with strong winds resulted in the closure of all school districts in Ogle County on Monday.

Maxsons may have new owner By Vinde Wells Editor A landmark restaurant that closed last fall may soon be reopening with new owners. An agenda for the Ogle County Liquor Commission lists “Maxson Manor new owners” under New Business at its Jan. 30 meeting. Frank and Nancy Semmerling, Riverwoods, are in the process of buying Maxson’s Riverside Restaurant, 1469 N. Ill. 2. The well-known restaurant closed its doors Oct. 31 after more than 60 years in business. The restaurant includes the Pride of Oregon Riverboat, a paddle-wheeler built in Palatka, Fla. in the
late 1980s. County board chairman Kim Gouker, Byron, who also chairs the Liquor Commission, said the owners have not yet closed on the purchase of the restaurant from current owner Rich Wiesner, Oregon. He said the purchase hinges on whether or not the Liquor Commission approves a liquor license for the new owners. Members of the Liquor Commission are Gouker, and fellow county board members John Finfrock, Mt. Morris, and Rich Gronewold, Forreston. Neither Wiesner nor the Semmerlings could not be reached for comment. When he announced the

Ogle County Sheriff’s Police had their hands full Monday morning with dozens of vehicles in the ditches and abandoned on roadways during Sunday night’s near blizzard conditions. Sheriff Michael Harn estimated that 70 vehicles were left behind when their occupants got stuck on drifting roads in white-out conditions Sunday evening into Monday morning. “A lot of cars were abandoned on the road,” Harn said. “They [drivers] couldn’t tell where they were and they were able to get a ride and left the car behind. The north-south roads were the worst — the wind was straight out of the west.” Deputies closed Ill. 26 at Montague Road north of Forreston periodically for at least four hours Monday while tow trucks pulled 17 cars out of deep drifts, Harn said. Several more cars were stranded on Ill. 251 where the white-out conditions continued into mid-morning Monday.

“They [abandoned vehicles] were just everywhere. There was one on almost every road,” Harn said. Off-duty deputies were called in Monday to assist, and state troopers from District 1, headquartered in Sterling, and District 16, headquartered in Pecatonica, helped out throughout the county. Motorists were urged to use extreme caution or avoid traveling all together Sunday night and Monday morning.

Did you know that most heart attacks could be prevented with early diagnosis of risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD)? For American Heart Month in February, FHN is offering very special pricing on two tests that can give you a good look at your heart health if you have no known coronary artery disease.
$99 Calcium Scoring CT Heart Scan FHN’s Calcium Scoring CT Heart Scan uses 64-slice CT scanner technology to detect calcified plaque in arteries, an indication of potential heart issues. This non-invasive x-ray takes only a few minutes and does not require any physical activity.

This test helps to determine artery condition and may be right for you if you have risk factors for heart disease. Risk factors may include high cholesterol, existing or borderline high blood pressure, a history of smoking, diabetes, or family history of heart disease. You must be able to walk for this test. These tests are intended for individuals who have no prior heart issues, including chest pain or unusual shortness of breath. Appointments must be scheduled by Friday, February 28 to obtain the special $99 price, and tests must be performed by August 29, 2014.

Landrys celebrate 65th anniversary Pastor Gordon and Barbara Landry celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary on Tuesday, Jan. 28. They were married on that date in 1949 by Pastor James Mattison at the East Oregon Chapel Church of God. Barbara is the daughter of Dan and Louise Kump, both now deceased. The Landrys were blessed with eight children: Ricky Lee, now living in Long Beach, Calif.; Daniel Gordon, now in Greenwell Springs, La., near Baton Rouge; Jonathan David, living in a suburb of Houston, Texas; Joel Alexander, living at home with the Landrys;
Jared Scott, deceased at four months of age; Gretchen Gayle (Gigi) Wight, now in Pecatonica; Jennifer Louise Foster, now living near Rochelle; and Barry Keith, living just outside Baton Rouge, La. The Landrys also have 19 grandchildren scattered around the United States, and 19 great-grandchildren, with number 20 on the way next month. While attending Oregon Bible College, Gordon pastored the East Oregon Chapel Church of God in the late ‘40s, where he met and fell in love with Barbara Kump, a member of the
church. They married just before he graduated from the college. Following his graduation from Oregon Bible College, he and his new bride accepted the pastorate at Ripley. Toward the end of their first year there, they resolved to go into missionary work in South Africa, and resigned from the Ripley Church. Prospects for the mission field did not work out and, since the Ripley Church had already hired a new pastor, the Landrys moved to Douglas, Ariz., to try and open a mission field across the border in Mexico. Two or three years later,
they received an invitation to pastor the Blood River Church of God near Springfield, La., and did so for four years. Then they moved to the Church of God pastorate in Baton Rouge, and stayed there for 17 years. Following that pastorate, they moved back here to Oregon, where, in 1974, they accepted the pastorate at the Flagg Center Church of God near Rochelle, where they worked until his retirement at age 70. A year or so later, he returned to the ministry in Flagg Center, and is now in the process of retiring again.

Crime rates have decreased in Oregon since 2011 Police chief presents his annual report By Vinde Wells Editor Despite its first homicide in decades last year, Oregon has become a safer place to live and visit over the last three years, according to a report released Jan. 14. In his annual report presented to the city council Jan. 14, Police Chief Darin DeHaan showed that crime has decreased in most categories since 2011. “We maintain a commitment to keeping the crime rate in Oregon low and maintaining the high quality of living we have all come to expect in Oregon,” DeHaan said in the report’s cover letter.
The city’s 2013 homicide occurred Aug. 11 when Jonathan Williams, 18, died at OSF St. Anthony Medical Center, Rockford, after being injured in a fight that occurred in the wee hours of Aug. 10 at an underage drinking party at a home on Monroe Street. Ogle County State’s Attorney Mike Rock has said no one will be charged in Williams’ death because the person who struck him did so in self-defense. The annual report shows that the sharpest decrease in crime — 78.9 percent from 2011 to 2013 — was in the number of burglaries. The report shows only four last year compared to 18 in 2012 and 19 in 2011. Theft less than $300 also showed a significant decrease: 38 in 2013, down from 55 in 2012 and 53 in 2011. Only 11 thefts more than
$300 occurred in 2013, with 17 in 2012 and 19 in 2011. DeHaan said the reason for the decrease may be that citizens are being more careful to lock their cars and homes. “I’m hoping burglaries and thefts are down because people are doing a better job securing their property,” he said.

Ill. 64, Oregon. The theme is “New Life and Hope, a Celebration of Spring.� Submissions will be accepted from local artists and high school students in grades 11 and 12. Students

Students’ work will be judged and first, second, and third place ribbons will be given. Refreshments will be available during the show.

Also e-mail Hart with intention to submit work with measurements and other details by Thursday, Jan. 30. Art will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. Artists will need their own easel for large pieces.
Moving forward, I encourage each of us – from school officials, to community leaders, to business owners - to begin today by focusing on how we can work to bring the community back together instead of focusing on the differences among us exposed throughout the last nine months. The energy and enthusiasm from both advocates for the increase of school funding and those against it has been powerful, but has also led to a divide within communities that does not need to exist. As a school district moving forward we will work hard to communicate clearly and
effectively the state of the schools and use energy to unite our community. We ask in turn that our community continue to be vocal, passionate, and work to be clearly informed so that we may chart the course to help guide our schools in the coming years together. We look forward to the challenge of working with you to help find solutions that we can give our children the first class education they deserve. Sincerely, Dr. Robert Willis Superintendent P.J. Caposey Asst. Superintendent & High School Principal
as established through school code. An additional method of gaining revenue is to sell working cash bonds and then re-pay the bonds over a set period of time. “If our school board didn’t take this needed step, we would be having an entirely different conversation about what staff and which programs to begin cutting,� Willis continued. “That isn’t a conversation anyone wants to have.� With the sale of the working cash bonds, the district forecasts a consistent fund balance over the next five
years, keeping it financially solvent. Without the sale of the working cash bonds, below are the projections for the fund balance. In this scenario, the district will reach financial insolvency in three to four years. “Our community is receiving great value from our school district with a 95 percent graduation rate, the third highest state test scores of 20 high schools in the northern Illinois region and a 19 to 1 teacher-student ratio. We need to keep providing quality education for our kids,� Smith said.
Public Voice Community made project successful
Dear Editor, The Project Christmas Star Committee would like to thank the people in our community for helping make the program a success again this year. The program served 37 families giving 97 children gifts for the Christmas season. We would also like to thank the First State Bank for providing the space for the program’s Christmas tree and the parents who participated and showed their appreciation
conformity with statute having 200 signatures over the requisite amount halting the immediate sale of Working Cash bonds. This news will bring about mixed emotions for our community. Starting today, however, we must begin to re-group as a community and the Meridian School District must serve as a leader of the process. We have become a divided community that needs to remember what gives us our strength. What makes Stillman Dear Editor, A petition has been Valley and the surrounding submitted to the Meridian areas a great place to live District Office in apparent and raise children is the fact in receiving the gifts. We look forward to another successful year next Christmas season. Sincerely, Ginger Morhardt Karla Merdian Kathy Scholl Kathy Powell Polo

that through difficult times and during great times we can stand united and support each other. Right now is a trying time for our community and a time where we need to stand united in the things we all want and believe. Everyone wants an outstanding community. Everyone wants a great school system. Everyone wants to have their voice heard. We are united in these desires and we will work together to find a way to realize our mutual hopes of living in a great community with a first-class school system.
Guest Column Editor’s note: This article was submitted by Assistant Superintendent and Stillman Valley High School Principal PJ Caposey on behalf of Meridian School District officials. During its December Board of Education meeting, the Meridian School Board voted to move forward with the process of selling $2 million dollars in working cash bonds with a three-year repayment cycle. The strategy will infuse more than $665,000 into each of the next three years’ budgets.
The school board and its administration have a complex problem to solve. Like many school districts in the region and around the state, the money coming into the district from state and local funds has significantly decreased over the past several years, leaving the district in a financial bind. “We have no control over what the state gives us or when they give it to us,� said Interim Superintendent Dr. Bob Willis. “We also can’t control property values, unfortunately. Both have had a huge impact on our loss of revenue in adequately funding
our schools, our staff and our programs� With the loss of several hundred thousand dollars last year and again this year, plus the decision to cut between $300,000 and $500,000 this year alone in staff and programs, the board evaluated several revenue-generating options determining the sale of working cash bonds is the best short-term solution. “We want to be fiscally responsible with the least impact to taxpayers and the most positive impact on our students,� said school board president John Smith. “Essentially, the working
cash bonds will give our district a loan, bringing a three-year temporary increase in taxes in hopes that local property values will recover in three years and the State of Illinois will begin to fund school districts as state statute mandates, bringing our district and others like ours out of financial crisis.� School districts can increase revenue by levying (a formal way of requesting or asking) for additional taxes. Some aspects of a school budget can be taxed at a set amount by the state, others at a set amount by local voters, and yet others at a rate of need

warmed up. The National Anthem was performed by the OHS choir. Athletes were announced and they took a lap around the gym to wave to the crowd as they cheered on. When the game started, play-by-play announcing was done by OHS students.
The format of the game was 8 minute quarters with a time-out every 4 minutes to change lineups. Members of the team that were unable to be on the court assisted their teams by inbounding the ball. During halftime, despite a technical malfunction that

The stage was set in Milledgeville on Saturday, Jan. 25, and the Missiles and Polo Marcos didn’t disappoint. To accommodate all the fans in this rivalry showdown, an additional set of bleachers was set up on the stage overlooking the court. In the end, the Missiles took sole possession of second place in the NUIC East with a 55-48 victory. A 3-pointer by junior Blake Kappes right off the bat got Missile fans into the game, as well as foreshadowed the night for his team’s outside shooting. Defensively, the Missiles had their hands full, as they had to keep their eye on Polo’s 6-foot, 7-inch junior AJ Dollmeyer down low. This required a change in defense, and it worked well for Milledgeville (14-2, 5-1). “We actually had to play off of our normal style for him,” Missile coach Brian Rahn said. “We like to press and create turnovers, and things like that. But we knew that with him in the game, if we extended out, we would leave him one-on-one, or with an open look. We stuck with our zone, but we didn’t trap as much out of it, and tried some different things that way in order to make it hard for him to get easy looks. I thought the thing we did well that we don’t always do well is rebound.” “They just did a really nice job of surrounding him,” Polo coach Matt Messer said, “and making sure he got his hands on the ball where he couldn’t really go anywhere with it. They were really aggressive defensively, got to him, and made sure that he was always surrounded. He never really got any clean looks at the basket.” Another 3-pointer by Kappes to beat the firstquarter buzzer gave Milledgeville a 15-8 lead after one. But like any good rivalry game, a comeback
was in the cards. The leader of that surge for Polo (18-3, 5-2) was athletic senior guard Brian Cavanaugh. He started things off by knocking down a 3, and followed that up by taking a rebound coast-to-coast for a layup. He scored nine of his 13 points in the quarter. “We have come to expect that from Brian,” Messer said. “He’s a senior, and has done a nice job picking up slack when we’re struggling. He can go get it done by himself. Today he did that, expecially in the second quarter.” Unfortunately for the Marcos, the Missiles found an answer in junior Jordan Harris. He hit a pair of 3s in the quarter, helping to preserve his team’s lead. Although Polo did cut into the Milledgeville lead, the Marcos still trailed 27-23 heading into the locker room at halftime. Both teams had balanced attacks on offense in the third, as 10 different players scored in the stanza. However, it was the Missiles who extended their lead by two points, to 42-36, which set up a thrilling fourth quarter. A basket from Dollmeyer, who had only six points going into the fourth, sparked up the Polo fans and bench. However, his basket was quickly answered on the other end by junior Lucas Ebersole. Ebersole’s basket was followed up by another Harris 3, which made the hometown Milledgeville crowd explode. “We just worked their zone,” Harris said. “They play an extended 2-3, and we just had to pass the ball a lot, and shoot the open shots. We happened to make a lot of them today. This is the most important game to us, and we have been waiting for this one all year. We have so much support in our community and all around us. It feels good to give back.” Another 3-pointer from senior Kameron DawTyne gave the Missile fans even more to cheer about, as it Turn to B2
Oregon bowlers place 10th during sectional play By Andy Colbert Reporter
and Lake Park were the other state qualifiers. Oregon finished 10th in the 16-team field with 5983 pins. Of those six qualifiers, Sycamore was the only one Oregon saw in last year’s sectional. The other five are part what promises to continuing tough Rockfordarea sectionals for Oregon. “When we walked into the sectionals at Dixon, we knew we’d beat half the teams,” Oregon coach Al Nordman said. “With the new sectional format, the only chance for us was to get hot. If not, we get smoked because there are no
tunas here at Rockford.” Last year, Oregon had a 5558, to finish seventh among 15 teams. Dixon won that sectional with a score of 5935, less than what the Hawks rolled Saturday. “It’s a high-scoring house,” said Nordman, in reference to Park Lanes in Loves Park, site of this year’s sectional. However, the bottom line remains that the biggest difference between the last year and this year is level of competition. Individually, AJ Nordman had a score of 1315 in the six-game series to lead the
Hawks. It was only 13 pins away from qualifying for state. The son of coach Nordman had a 260 in the fourth game for his top mark. His other scores ranged from 191 to 235. “He had a good afternoon, but a couple splits at wrong times hurt,” coach Nordman said. “He still had a chance going into the last three frames.” Nordman left a 10 pin and then had a great ball, but the eight pin remained standing in those final rolls. Ryan Bennett was next in

Vernon Hills today,” Nordman said. “We couldn’t get any strikes going.” Coming into the sectional, Nordman knew the only way his team would advance is if all bowlers were on top of their games. Oregon’s long-time rival had two individuals qualify for the state meet, which will be held in O’Fallon, outside of the St. Louis area. Ryan Dixon and Joel Spangler had 1363 and 1329 to make the cut and teammate Lucas Bonnette was only 19 pins away from joining them. Ryan Dixon had an inordinate amount of attention focused on him in Oregon’s Ryan Bennett prepares to release his ball Jan. 25 during the Boylan Sectional Jan. 25. Photo by Chris the afternoon session. In the Johnson fourth game, he had a perfect
game intact for the first nine frames. Unfortunately, he left the four pin up on that frame and settled for a 279 after picking up the spare and finishing with a strike. “I threw the ball out in the dry area of the lane,” said Dixon on the missed strike. Even with the disappointment of missing a perfect game, the 279 moved Dixon from what he described as “not even being on the first sheet of leaders” to fourth place overall. “From then on, it was a matter of finishing and being consistent,” Dixon said. “I just needed to be around 200.” The 2-time state qualifier as a team member made it three straight trips downstate with a 213 and 208 to close out a 1363 series. Brandon Biondo of Algonquin Jacobs had a 1462 to claim the individual title with freshman phenom Jacob Nimtz of Harlem next at 1455. Dixon’s score was good for fifth place. While Dixon had a comfortable margin going into the final game, Spangler had to sweat things out, not once, but twice. He was in 10th place, but Turn to B2

Missiles ground Marcos From B1 came a mere 34 seconds after Harris’. This gave Milledgeville a 50-38 advantage with 5 minutes left to play. “That’s one of our strengths,� Rahn said. “I think that sometimes we rely on it too much, but when we are hitting shots, it is nice. One of the differences tonight was that the shots we were getting were inside-out and already squared to the basket, which meant our shots were in rhythm.� The epitome of that insideout play for the Missiles was their last bucket, the

Dixon bowlers advance to IHSA state tournament From B1 only nine pins out of the seventh and final qualifying spot. After nine frames, his position was even more precarious with a 169 showing on his scorecard. In dramatic fashion, Spangler rolled three straight strikes to punch his ticket downstate by two pins. His
1329 series edged Kyle Pattalio of Belvidere by one pin for sixth. Brady Powell of Barrington missed qualifying by one pin with a 1327. “I was in trouble,� Spangler said. “Those three strikes saved me. I was definitely on the bubble.� However, the joy he felt soon turned to uncertainty,

As he went to take a jump shot, a cutting Ebersole flashed right under the hoop behind the Polo defense. Harris snapped a pass into him, where Ebersole went with his forward momentum and finished a reverse layup. Polo tacked on an additional pair of buckets, but it was too late, as the Harris-Ebersole connection had secured the 55-48 victory.
“It’s a huge win,� Rahn said. “We have a great rivalry, and it’s one of those rivalries where the kids respect each other.

playing fields all over this country. Let’s yell at the referee because the call did not go our way. Or, let’s voice my displeasure at the coach because of a misguided notion that I know better than him/her. How about envy so pervasive that we secretly wish others will fail, be it the opposing team or perhaps athletes on your kid’s team that are having more success than your kid. Anger can reach such a boiling point that fights can break out between fans. Spirit of competition keeps us hostage and snuffs out contentment. Death of contentment is comparison. Either I’m better or worse than your team or athlete. That’s what sports can do to us, but sports aren’t the problem. The problem is within us. We allow these defects of character creep in and manifest themselves in
our bleacher behavior. What about fans that can go to a sporting event and cheer for the home team and also wish good things for the opposition? Could it be they enjoy sports for the athletic aspect of it and appreciate good play by both sides, not because of a personal attachment? Part II to be continued next week‌
Sports Column Passion for sports teams out of control By Andy Colbert Reporter It doesn’t make any difference if it is grade school, high school, college or the pros. Sports have an effect on us and bonding is
one result of that. As humans, there is a need to belong and it is natural to get together in groups. By following a sports team, we become part of that group and share a unified passion. Besides assembling together in the bleachers and cheering the team on, we may also join in activities like tailgating, pep rallies, road trips, team banquets, etc. We even dress to the occasion, whether it is
wearing the school colors on game day or that expensive pro jersey. Here’s the problem with all that, though – that passion can get out of hand. We become so engrossed with the sport or team we have bonded with that we begin to base our identity on it. The more the team wins, the better our psyche feels. If the team is a loser, our fragile self-esteem takes a hit. Another thing that happens

is that the more success our team has, the more it affects us. An example is in postseason play when other teams are knocked out and our team is one of the few left standing. There is a realization that more people are paying attention to the team and the “pride� factor goes kicks into a higher gear. A win or loss in the sectional or state has so much more significance that it did doing the regular season because one’s personal identification with the team has been increased. Though the fan is not a member of the team, there can become a perverted investment in it, which can be compounded if one has a child on said team. Sure, it’s natural to want the best things for your kid and have an emotional attachment your team, but it is so easy for those values become distorted. The manifestation of that can be found on gyms and

IDNR is accepting applications for PARC grants The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is accepting applications for the state’s Park and Recreational Facility Construction (PARC) Grant Program. The program will provide grants to eligible local governments for acquisition, development, construction, rehabilitation or other capital improvements to
park and recreation facilities in Illinois. For the current fiscal year (FY) 2014, a total of $25 million in grants is available through funding provided by the Illinois Jobs Now! capital program, an initiative of Governor Pat Quinn. The maximum grant award for qualifying projects for FY14 is $2.5 million. The IDNR will accept
applications from qualifying units of local government through March 10. “Public parks and open space shouldn’t be a luxury. Everyone has the right to enjoy recreation opportunities safely and locally. The investments made through PARC funds are vital to the economies and health of local communities and their residents,” said
IDNR Director Marc Miller. “I want to thank Governor Quinn for making this longterm investment in local parks and recreation that will pay long-term dividends for Illinois communities,” he said. The PARC Grant Program can fund bondable, bricks and mortar projects that include demolition, site preparation and improvements for indoor
Hearn to perform at SVCC Feb. 3 Sauk Valley Community College invites the public to attend Emily Hearn’s free concert Monday, Feb. 3 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in the east mall.
Hearn, a singer and songwriter from Griffin, Ga., is the small town, genuine girl that pours her heart and soul into her music. Within the past several
years, she has released her first album, “Red Balloon,” toured the Southeast and created a music video for her lead single “Rooftop” with a special appearance by comedian Bill
Murray. For more information on this free performance, contact Ana Salgado, SVCC student activities coordinator, at 815835-6432.
and outdoor recreation facilities, reconstruction, improvements and expansion to existing facilities, and new construction. Projects involving land acquisition for construction of new or expansion of existing indoor and outdoor recreation facilities, and for open space and conservation purposes, are also eligible. Illinois previously invested $50 million in PARC grants for park districts and other local government projects in 2011, the first year of the program. The PARC program will reimburse grant recipients up to 75 percent of approved project costs (up to 90 percent reimbursement will be available to local
governments defined as disadvantaged). The PARC grant program does not replace the annual Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development grant program (OSLAD). PARC projects must be “bondable” according to state guidelines, while OSLAD projects do not. For more information, details on program eligibility, and other program regulations, log on to http://www.dnr.illinois. gov/grants or contact the IDNR Division of Grant Administration, One Natural Resources Way, Springfield, IL 62702-1271, phone 217782-7481, or by e-mail grants@Illinois.gov.
