Trump wants to cut Amtrak’s long-distance routes; Southwest Chief, California Zephyr may be eliminated By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com
PRINCETON — President Donald Trump’s proposed 13-percent cut in funds for the U.S. Department of Transportation’s budget would eliminate Amtrak’s long-distance routes. The Southwest Chief and the California Zephyr that go through Princeton four times a day are two of the 15 long-distance trains Amtrak operates in the United States that Trump wants to cut in his recently released federal budget. This budget proposal to elimi-
nate funding for Amtrak’s long-distance service could impact many of the 500 communities the railroad serves, said Wick Moorman, Amtrak president/CEO. “Amtrak operates 15 long-distance trains across the nation, and these routes offer the only Amtrak service in 23 of the 46 states we serve,” he said in a press release. “These trains connect our major regions, provide vital transportation to residents in rural communities and generate connecting passengers and revenue for our Northeast Corridor and state-supported services. Amtrak is very
focused on running efficiently — we covered 94 percent of our total network operating costs through ticket sales and other revenues in FY ‘16 — but these services all require federal investment. “As the budget process progresses, we look forward to working with President Trump, Secretary Chao, and Congress to ensure they understand the value of Amtrak’s long distance trains and what these proposed cuts would mean to this important part of the nation’s transportation system,” added Moorman.

GRANVILLE — A school district announcing it’s owed more than $500,000 in state mandated funding would typically be big news if not in Illinois. However, it’s become a sad and typical occurrence at school board meetings throughout the state. The amounts have also been steadily increasing as the state continues to push it along its downward spiral. Putnam County Superintendent Carl Carlson announced during the March 20 board meeting he state still owes the district $538,693, including more than $210,000 for special education and more than $241,000 for transportation costs. Carlson assured the board the district is still in sound financial shape despite the funding concerns. “Do you think we’ll get the funding we’re owed?” board member Mary Gilbert asked. Carlson responded he hoped they would, but added if he played the devil’s advocate and
The board approved the motion to begin the bidding process to replace the lockers in the high school during summer vacation. Carlson provided an informal quote of approximately $61,000 and said if they were ordered by April, they could be installed by July. Carlson said the locking mechanisms are failing; the dials are worn; and that their overall poor condition has caused them to become a security concern in regards to students’ possessions. Other maintenance issues the board would like to address during the summer include the development of a replacement plan for desks, tables and chairs; the replacement of the gym doors at the high school; floor treatments; lighting at the elementary school; lockers at the junior high; the intermittently faulty wheelchair lift at the junior high; continued maintenance of the parking lots; and the carpeting in the high school office.

An enterprising concept
School funding failure and a look at the Bureau Putnam Enterprise Zone By Dave Cook
news@putnamcountyrecord.com
With the renewed Bureau-Putnam County Enterprise Zone and its success with industrial development investments worth billions of dollars, it makes sense it be continued and celebrated. However, it’s also a good idea to Vol. 149 No. 31 One Section - 20 Pages
take a look at the other sides of the zone, particularly the education side. The zone, managed by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunities, covers 12.5 square miles and could be expanded by an additional 15. The zone is meant to assist with the growth of indus-
try by providing state and local incentives. The renewed zone covering parts of Bureau and Putnam counties started on Jan. 1, 2017, and will officially end in 2031, but it could be extended to 2041. One of the incentives offered since the zone’s beginning in 1987 is a near 100 percent,
10-year property tax abatement on industrial/commercial real property improvements, a 6 to 6.25 percent local and state sales tax deduction on locally-purchased building materials, and a “zone project only” 0.5 percent investment tax credit on qualified property/equipment investments.

to companies which may have not received the full, 10-year abatement and which would also allow for the abatement for upcoming projects. “During the life of the old Bureau-Putnam Enterprise Zone, there were more than 250 projects utilizing the zone with investments of almost $1.1 billion. The participation of the taxing bodies in the zone makes the region more competitive for business attraction and retention. Several taxing bodies have passed the resolution supporting the new enterprise zone and the extension. There have been a couple that we have heard are not supporting the new zone and the extension, and many are still considering the resolution,” Lindeman said.
Bureau County education With the schools of the Illinois Valley collectively being owed several million dollars from the state and there being no sign of improvement, school districts within the enterprise zone have to consider the impact of tax abatement. In 2015 the Spring Valley School District abated more than $12,000; the Hall High School District almost $24,000; the Princeton High School District more
Amtrak From Page 1 An average of 100 passengers a day use the Princeton Depot to get on or off Amtrak trains, said Jerry Weiss, Princeton station master. He said one family came from Cincinnati, Ohio, to use the Princeton station because they found out it was too expensive to go to Chicago and get a hotel room and pay for parking for the two weeks they were going to be gone on a trip to California. They found out there was free parking in Princeton by searching the Internet and
• Since 1990, Bureau County has had 18 projects involving 13 businesses with a total investment of $1,016,182,968. • Since 2005, Putnam County has had 15 projects, involving four businesses, with a total investment of $355,412,284. • Since 2005, the city of Princeton has had 39 projects, involving 27 businesses, with a total investment of $21,017,245. • In 2012, the village of Granville had one project, PC Foods, with an investment of $1,250,000. • Since 1987, the village of Ladd has had seven projects with an investment total of $1,562,120. • From 1994 to 2002, the village of Mark has had four projects with an investment total of $5,358,319. • Since 2005, the city of Spring Valley has had 15 projects with a total investment of $12,767,778.

than $51,000; and the Princeton Elementary School District more than $77,000. Bureau County Clerk Kami Hieronymus said the year-toyear abatement figures vary, but not by much. If the amounts held steady for the 10-year abatement, PES would likely abate more than $750,000 throughout that period. PES is currently owed roughly $750,000 in mandated funding from the state, and Superintendent Tim Smith has previously said the district has lost more than $5 million in state revenue since 2007. He has said the district is generally supportive of the enterprise zone, but the funding problems did initiate some
“As long as they keep the local routes intact, the cuts won’t have a huge effect on Princeton,” he said. Quiram said one of the four long-distance trains (California Zephyr going eastbound in the afternoon) that goes through Princeton each day doesn’t stop unless it needs to let someone off and doesn’t pick up passengers unless special arrangements have been made. About 37,000 passengers a year in Fiscal Year 2016 either got off or on a train at the Princeton
drove to town to get on a train heading west instead of going to Chicago. Linda Baugher of Hinckley said she rides the California Zephyr about every month to visit family in Iowa and Las Vegas. “I go to California every so often,” she said. “It is easier coming to Princeton than going to Chicago.” Princeton Mayor Joel Quiram said the majority of riders using the Princeton station go on the Carl Sandburg or Illinois Zephyr. He doesn’t think Trump’s proposed cuts eliminating long-distance routes like the California Zephyr or the Southwest Chief will hurt Princeton.

While the school districts of Bureau County are abating sizable amounts of funding in order to help benefit local industry, the figures pale in comparison to Putnam County. According to information provided by the Putnam County Clerk’s office, the Putnam County School District, which is currently owed more than $500,000 from the state, abated $1,019,827.15 in revenue in 2015. The zone has been very successful in Putnam County with 15 projects being added by four businesses since 2005. The total investment of those projects is more than $355 million. “Our school board is reviewing our options regarding the enterprise zone. The district is supportive, however with the state financial crisis and complete uncertainty surrounding school funding reform, the district needs to examine its options,” Superintendent Carl Carlson said. Carlson added a potential property tax freeze and the discussion of pension costs shifting back on local districts would be devastating to the school’s current budget. “Currently, we are gathering as much information as possible before making any final decisions,” Carlson said.
depot. The 56 trains that serve Illinois recorded 4.6 million riders in FY ‘16. In FY ‘15, there were about 36,000 passengers using the Princeton station. About 4.8 million riders used Amtrak stations in FY ‘15. Marc Magliari, Amtrak spokesman, said in an email the level of detail isn’t available on the number of passengers using the Southwest Chief or California Zephyr that get on or off at Princeton. The Southwest Chief goes from Chicago to Kansas City and Los Angeles

The California Zephyr goes from Chicago to Denver to Salt Lake City to the San Francisco Bay area, stopping in Princeton at 3:44 p.m. going westbound and going through Princeton about 12:30 p.m. going eastbound. The Illinois Zephyr and the Carl Sandburg trains that stop four times a day in Princeton will not be affected by the proposed budget cuts.

thought toward the abatement resolution. “We do give up some revenue for the 10 years the new business is abated, but long term it is a win-win for our district and community,” Smith said, adding, “The local sacrifice is worth it because local funding is far more reliable than state funding, so despite the delay in realizing the EAV growth, once the property is on the tax role, the money is timely and consistent, unlike that of the state.” Smith also said the jobs created by the growth will likely bring students into the district which would increase enrollment. “A piece of the general state aid funding formula is calculated
using enrollment numbers, so the more kids the better,” Smith said.

A new website The board approved the hiring of Apptegy as the designer of the district’s new website. “Six years ago our website was current, but we’ve since learned our site is close to not being ADA compliant,” Carlson said. For an upfront cost of $9,000 and a yearly maintenance fee of $6,000, Apptegy will reconfigure the district’s website within 60 to 90 days to comply with ADA rules; be more user-friendly to mobile devices; and be easier for administrators to update. Carlson also said the costs of the new site will fit into the current budget, as there are no data limits with Apptegy’s service.
School psychologist The board approved the resolution to participate in a shared psychologist program with the Oglesby School District. The district was previously in a shared umbrella program with Oglesby, Tonica
and Lostant school districts, but they were unable to secure the services of a psychologist because of the large area covered. Carlson said since they’ve decreased the umbrella area to only two districts, they’ve now been able to secure the services of a psychologist. Oglesby is the hiring district, but Putnam County is expected to receive 70 percent of the services, and Oglesby will receive the remainder. In other board news • The board approved a band/chorus trip to St. Louis in 2018, and there will be fundraising in order to help pay for the trip. “I think this is a good, diverse trip for those students, and it will help keep them involved and interested throughout the year,” Carlson said. • Media Center Director Annette Davis announced the district had won a $750 grant from the state for library materials. • Carlson announced the district had used less heating fuel because of the mild winter, but they had ended up paying more because manufacturers had produced less for the same reason. “That’s a good lesson in supply and demand,” Carlson said.

Applications now available for the I&M Canal National Heritage Area Field Trip Grant Program LASALLE — The Canal Corridor Association is now accepting applications for the Illinois & Michigan Canal National Heritage Area (IMCNHA) Field Trip Grant Program. This program provides financial assistance to pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade schools in Illinois that would like to take a field trip to the I&M Canal Boat in LaSalle or a River Thru History in Willow Springs to learn about the history and impact of the Illinois & Michigan Canal. The I&M Canal Boat, The Volunteer, is a replica packet boat, just like one that transported passengers and goods along the I&M Canal more than 150 years ago. The Volunteer, is 76 feet long, holds 70 passengers, is pulled by a mule and operates from May to October. Field trips to the I&M Canal Boat in LaSalle include a 15-minute mule tending class; a 60-minute ride narrated by period-dressed guide and crew; followed by a 30-minute self-guided silhouette walk introducing students to historical Illinois & Michigan Canal figures including Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln, Wild Bill Hickok, Chief Shabonna and 10 other notables. Students learn about the history of the Illinois & Michigan Canal by experiencing actual travel on a mule-pulled canal boat, just as it was back in 1848. The estimated time at the site is two hours. A field trip to the I&M Canal Boat is a fun and engaging way to teach kids about early Illinois history. A River thru History — The Des Plaines Valley Rendezvous, in Willow Springs is a living history re-enactment of an event that would have occurred along the Des Plaines River when Illinois was French territory. Participants dress in period clothing and emulate what early Amer-

ican life was like from the fur trade era to the canal era. Students learn about American history, social customs, and the skills and tools that were necessary to survive on the Illinois frontier. The IMCNHA Field Trip Grant Program has only been possible with support from the community. Sponsors of this year’s Field Trip Grant Program include Illinois Cement Co., Walmart of Spring Valley, Kinder Morgan, Walmart of Ottawa, New Lenox and Peru, as well as James Hardie, Helco Corporation, Christopher Burke Engineering Ltd., and Centrue Bank of Ottawa. CCA has also received support from individual community members. There is no deadline for grant applications. All grants are provided on a first– received, first-funded basis. Assistance is tiered to respond to a schools’ financial need based on their percentage of low-income students. Grant monies are used to offset costs of transportation and boat tickets. The Canal Corridor Association’s mission is to preserve history, protect nature and open space, and create destinations where people can learn and have fun in the I&M Canal National Heritage Area from Chicago to LaSalle-Peru. The I&M Canal National Heritage Area is America’s first Heritage Area, designated by President Reagan in 1984. CCA is designated by Congress as the local coordinating entity for the I&M Canal National Heritage Area which includes 60 communities across five counties. The I&M Canal boat and the Lock 16 Cafe and Gift Shop are owned and managed by Canal Corridor Association.

Community audit/underemployed survey planned for spring Over the next couple of months, Business Employment Skills Team Inc. (BEST Inc.) an affiliate of Northwest Illinois Central Works (NCI Works), and a partner of the American Jobs Center, in conjunction with Thomas P. Miller and Associates (TPMA), a workforce consulting firm, will be conduct-
ing a community audit and underemployed survey of the eight-county area that comprises BEST Inc. (Bureau, Carroll, Jo Daviess, LaSalle, Lee, Ogle, Putnam and Whiteside). This study will outline the current economic and workforce landscape of the region, a comprehensive assessment of educational
opportunities, quality of life, commuting patterns, and other demographics. As part of this study, labor market information will be collected, analyzed, and summarized by individual county and collectively as a region. Surveys will be distributed to local employers to gauge their input
of their business’ talent needs. Items that will be addressed in the survey include employment numbers and projections, skills needs and gaps, education and training needs, training challenges, and desired industry recognized credentials. The findings will tie together the three pillars that make up a strong
and sustainable talent development system, education, workforce development, and economic development. Once completed, the findings of this study will be presented to the community in a State of the Workforce Event that will be scheduled for some time in late May. The
public roll-out event will provide community stakeholders the opportunity to review the data collected and engage in a dialog with businesses, economic development, education, and workforce development in an effort to identify challenges and strategize solutions to address those challenges.

Coffee anyone? The news is full of the latest new study on whether you and I should partake of the beverage coffee. I’ve read a good many of those reports. It could be I’m trying to justify drinking a pot of the stuff throughout Earlene any given day. Campbell Health-wise it doesn’t seem to COMMENTARY effect me one way or the other. At home we use the 50/50 (half regular/half decaf). But when I order at a restaurant or pick-up some at a gas station, it’s go for the gusto in the largest cup. Yes, I might get a slight case of the jitters, but give it a little time and things calm down. My coffees from the gas station are so creative. First it’s two-thirds bold, a good long shot of flavored Cappuccino and just for my mental solace, the remaining one-sixth of the 24-ounce cup is topped off with — you guessed it — decaf. Then the pot needs to be sweetened with Splenda, of course. This great combination makes for a very tasty/sticky mess. ••• On our return trip from a Thanksgiving visit with our son, Brad, and his family, we were utilizing a shuttle service from Pocatello, Idaho, to the airport in Salt Lake City, Utah. While waiting for the shuttle, I mixed my usual concoction in my new super-duper, metal, insulated cup that keeps the drink hot for a long time, and nothing is supposed to spill. I was set until part way through the trip, the cup slipped and fell on the bus floor. The outer lid popped off, and the balance of my tasty/sticky concoction ran under my feet and along the outer edge of the brand-new bus. When the driver slowed down, the coffee ran to the front – when he sped up, it ran back. I sat there hoping no one would notice the source of their feet sticking to the bus floor. When we stopped for the usual half-way break, I grabbed a handful of napkins and sopped up as much of the mess I could without being obvious. ••• Last week we went to Tennessee to see our daughter, Tracy, and her husband, Robert. The night before we were to come back home, everyone else had gone to bed when I decided to help out and wash up dishes left in the sink. While I was at it, I cleaned the counter-top and scoured everything in sight. I grabbed the glass coffee pot and cleaned it good, leaving it to drain dry. We were leaving the next morning as Tracy had to go back to work. We had said our good-byes the night before, so she was up and out of the house before we woke up. “It was all over the counter top, ran over and down on the floor, and into the rug. What a mess!” Robert said. Jerry replied, “Oh for crying out loud!” I overheard this, but didn’t understand. Tracy had prepared and set the coffee maker on auto pilot; then I came along and removed the pot. I don’t know about your coffee pot, but our coffee maker won’t run water through unless the pot is under it – but not hers. ••• My clothes bear witness to the disasters of coffee spills. You get the gist – it stains, and it’s messy. Each time I see the logic in giving it up. ••• But then, on the flip side, studies say coffee is healthy for you. And have you ever thought about how many auto accidents have been prevented because coffee made the driver more alert? Or how many business discussions take place with the aroma of java affecting the outcome; or how many secrets are shared; or how many tears have turned a strong cup of coffee weak; or how much laughter has echoed off the surface of filled cups; or how many newspaper articles are enhanced by a coffee cup sitting beside the computer? Just for the record, I have taken this all into consideration, have opted for the healthier aspect and will continue to clean up my coffee messes. I’m addicted! P.S. If the President of the United States would just come and have a cup of coffee with the guys at the “Truth Tables” in America, he would find out exactly how the country should be run.

Blinded by the light I don’t like going to doctors. Never have, never will. It’s nothing personal, but personally, whenever I see one, they find something wrong with me. I don’t need that. I can find enough problems on my own. That goes for all doctors who want to poke, prod, probe any and all parts of my body up to and including: Stomach, chest, shoulders, elbows, eyes, ears, nose, throat, ankles, knees, hips and … you know … other stuff. All of that having been said, I visited the eye doctor the other day. I knew it was time. Heck, I knew that it was time 10 to 15 years ago, but I’ve been busy. I’m just starting to get a little tired of peering over the top of my glasses to read stuff. Books, magazines, newspapers, computer screens, stop signs, billboards, etc. Out of all the medical practices, the eye doctor freaks me out the least. But there are still parts of the exam I hate. I don’t like the part when I’m looking through the eye gizmo thingy at the little line of letters, and the doctor is flipping between lenses, and I have to tell him which one appears clearer. “Is No. 1 better or is No. 2 better?” he’ll ask. After doing this for awhile, they all looked alike, and I just blurted out random yeses and nos. I’m pretty sure he knew that I had lost interest in his little game. He informed me it was time to get some “progressive lenses.” That’s the newfangled way of saying “bifocals.” I had held out for as long as possible from getting those things because they have always looked like a pain in the butt to me. That might be the main reason I haven’t seen an eye doctor since George Bush was president. I can’t remember which one. Before I left, the doctor had to put drops in to dilate my eyes. He said it was so he could get a better look at the back of my eyeballs. I think it was because he knew I was screwing with him on the “Is 1 better than 2?” part of the examination. He told me I might want to stay out of bright lights for the rest of the day. Being the macho kind of guy I am, I audibly scoffed at his warning and said not to worry, I’d be fine. He just smiled and shook his head as I exited the room. My wife and daughter accompanied me that beautiful Saturday morning in order to help me pick out new frames. They were afraid to let me pick anything out on my own without any adult supervision. To this day, I still catch grief about the glasses I was wearing in our wed-
Greg Wallace COMMENTARY ding photo. By certain standards, the frames on those glasses might have been a wee bit on the large side. The amount of glass in those frames was roughly equal to the amount of glass in the windshield of a Volkswagen Beetle. Elton John owned a similar pair back in the 1970s. When I tell people it was the style back then, they just smile and shake their heads. They found some nice frames (at least that’s what they tell me, I couldn’t tell because I didn’t have my glasses on), and we got them ordered. As I left the eye doctor’s office, one of the ladies that worked there handed me this piece of dark plastic that was cut into the shape of glasses. It was designed to fit under my present frames and act as sunglasses. I laughed and tucked them in my shirt pocket, telling her I probably wouldn’t need them. She just smiled and shook her head as I opened the door to leave. Little did I know that just on the other side of that polarized-glass door, I would be staring directly into the giant, brilliantly radiant, white and yellow orb that is the earth’s sun. Eyeball dilation stinks. I couldn’t get to that dark little piece of plastic in my shirt pocket quick enough. I
followed the sound of my daughter’s laughter as I felt my way along the side of the building to the passenger side of the car. Evidently my new sunglasses weren’t “stylish” enough for her. As for my wife, well, I imagine her shadowy visage just looked at me, smiled and shook her head. She asked if we could do some shopping while we were in town. I looked toward the direction in which her voice was coming from and nodded. I was hoping the store was going to be darker than the bright, sunshiny day everybody else was apparently enjoying. It was, but not by much. Have you ever noticed how many lights are inside one of those big-box stores? A lot would be the answer to that question. Especially when you’re too proud to wear the silly little piece of plastic the smiling, head-shaking lady gave you at the eye doctors office. Well, I’m getting tired of looking over these old, trusty, unifocal lenses to write this, so I guess I’d better wrap it up. Tomorrow I go to pick up the new glasses, and I’m sure the stylish, fashionable frames with space-age progressive lenses will open up a whole new, bright and shiny world to my now undilated, itty-bitty pupils. At least I hope so, considering I probably won’t see these people for another 15 years. Eat your heart out, Elton John. You can contact Wallace at gregwallaceink7@gmail.com.

TO Letter THE Editor
What’s your take? To the Editor, Can anyone who reads this please answer my questions? What has Trump done to bring a very troubled and divided country together? Whatever happened to a virtue called credibility. I watched the hearing with the FBI director yesterday. It was nothing but Parisian politics. I thing maybe a lot of people like myself are growing very tired of that. When will it change? I think never. Trump is trying to run the government like he ran his business
empire, I think he is finding out that does not work. I have lived through 11 presidents. I remember all the bad things about Nixon and Clinton. My opinion is Trump is heading down the same path. We live in a wired world today, and when our president says something, the whole world knows it in minutes. My neighbor told me 50 million people think he is credible, I told him and 50 million don’t. The big problem is our long time allies don’t believe him either. What is going
to happen someday when we need our allies to help us in a conflict? Hopefully that won’t happen. So far Trump has not gotten anything accomplished except signing a bunch of executive orders. I hope all of you people who voted for this liar are happy. I am not. The Democrats we have in Congress are fast becoming what the Republicans were for eight years — the party of no. That’s my take. What’s yours? Larry Eden Hennepin

Hello, my name is Henrietta Nickelsen and I had a recent stay at Colonial Health Care and Rehabilitation Centre after I encountered the inability to stand on my right leg. My leg was very weak. As a result of choosing Colonial I found a welcome by administration and the therapy department. The employees were friendly and helpful. I was using the therapy department mostly and the care and help I received was excellent, the staff of the department were very helpful and well trained. The therapy was an excellent service and wonderful help. I specifically liked the cleanliness of the building!!! I am grateful for the help they have given me to live a normal life. I feel very grateful! I would recommend Colonial to anyone needing this service.
