A big bite of ... giving?
Aseret Loveland, IVCC’s assistant director of admissions and student records, quickly realized the “Doughnuts for Dough” challenge was harder than it sounded. She raced students Nick Needs and Jonathon Quintana to see who could eat the most doughnuts in one minute. The more than $15,000 raised during the IVCC Giving Day event surpassed the goal and will be used to provide scholarships. SEE OUR STORY ON PAGE 2. (PCR photo/Dave Cook)

Generosity in the gym IVCC Giving Day surpasses fundraising goal BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com OGLESBY — With the challenges accepted and pledges made, Illinois Valley Community College students and staff entered the IVCC gymnasium to fulfill their obligations to help meet, and surpass the $15,000 goal of the first IVCC Giving Day fundraising event Organized in support of the non-profit IVCC Foundation, Inc., the funds raised on April 6 with the help of 53 donors will help provide 150-200 scholarships for students. “We’ve had tremendous support for this new initiative, and we couldn’t be happier that we’ve not only met, but surpassed our goal because scholarships have become even more important with the current and uncertain state of funding,” IVCC Development Director Fran Brolley said. Along with a previously held bake sale and online fundraising activities, funds were raised through pledges for challenges. The challenges consisted of “Bucks for Baskets”, a free throw challenge featuring the shooting skills of IVCC President Jerry Corcoran and IVCC Foundation President O.J. Stoutner; “Doughnuts for Dough” where students Nick Needs, Jonathan Quintana and assistant director of admissions Aseret Loveland competed to see who could eat the most doughnuts in one minute; “Pennies for Push-ups” featuring IVCC instructors Tom Tunnel and Wes Black racing to see how many could be completed in two minutes; and a “Kiss the Pig” contest where the IVCC staff member raising the most money would volunteer to kiss a pig.
Student Nick Needs won the doughnut competition which was harder than the contestants thought. “It was nice they were at least fresh,” Needs joked after the race ended. Stoutner and Corcoran combined for a total of 53 completed free throws during their individual five-minute sessions. Practicing together at times, Stoutner also practiced at the YMCA and was inspired by a seventh-grader he met who goes nightly to shoot 275 baskets. “No matter how well we both shoot today, we’ll be happy with the donations we’ve raised,” Stoutner said. Black and Tunnel were able to complete an impressive combined total of 185 wrist-punishing push-ups within the two minutes, receiving some encouraging help from Spirit, the IVCC mascot. The “Kiss the Pig” competition became somewhat anti-climatic with the announcement that organizers had learned too late that exposing a piglet to kisses from an outside environment could endanger it’s health and the health of the other pigs when it returned to its farm. Instead, the kiss was given to a stuffed pig and suggestions were requested for a suitable replacement challenge for next year’s Giving Day event. By surpassing the goal and with the amount of fun had during the challenges, it’s certain the second annual Giving Day will be held next year, providing another opportunity for IVCC students, faculty, staff, alumni, family and friends to celebrate and support their local community college.

degrees on March 25. March brought a significant amount of snow in some areas. Several places received more snow in March than in any other month this winter. The heaviest amounts were in northeastern Illinois because of lake-effect snows. The highest monthly total snowfall was in Waukegan with 16.4 inches. Besides the Chicago area, near to above normal snowfall occurred in a band from the Quad Cities down the length of the state. Snowfall for winter 201617 was well below normal despite the snowy March. Seasonal totals ranged from
20 to 30 inches in far northern Illinois to less than 1 inch in far southern Illinois. Therefore, snowfall departures ranged from 75 percent of normal in far northern Illinois to less than 25 percent of normal in southern Illinois. Waukegan reported the most snowfall for the season with 35.0 inches, of which half fell in March. The Illinois State Water Survey at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, a division of the Prairie Research Institute, is the primary agency in Illinois concerned with water and atmospheric resources.

Yesterday’s sacrifices, today’s lessons W
hen I think of Easter, those holidays of long ago are what come to mind. They were special days, and we waited for that Sunday with wild abandon. And why wouldn’t we? Easter meant a host of things to us back then. First of all, to a frugal farm family who didn’t buy much candy or special presents, not to mention new clothes and shoes, Easter seemed to break all the rules. A new Easter outfit, complete with new white shoes, frilly socks, an Easter bonnet and white gloves, was the normal attire we’d get for Easter Sunday. If our feet hadn’t grown, we had to use the white shoes from the year before, but we hoped like crazy they would be too small. The dress, adorned with lace and ruffles, was a big deal, even though farm clothes were what we were most used to. We counted the days until we could wear that outfit to church on Sunday morning.
Back then, we were sure our Easter ensemble had to cost a million dollars. And that was just the beginning. ... We woke up on Easter morning to more candy than we’d seen all year. By today’s standards, it was probably rather meager, but to us, our eyes were wide with the jelly beans, little chocolate eggs, a single, hollow chocolate rabbit, marshmallow eggs and colorful gumballs. We were in sugar heaven, and we’d sort through our sweet loot like bandits who had just robbed a bank. The hard-boiled eggs — hidden around the house — provided a frantic search. Each of us kids had our own room to search, and without exception, there was always one hard-boiled egg hidden in one of our slippers — the first one we’d discover when we got out of bed. It was usually in our favorite color with our name written on it with one of those
LETTER TO THE EDITOR ‘Engaging New Voices’ To the Editor, April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month with the theme of “Engaging New Voices.” In the U.S., nearly one in five women (and one in 71 men) is a victim of sexual assault. Because of this shocking prevalence, it is important for everyone to help prevent sexual violence in our community. Our actions, big and small, have a ripple effect on those we teach, guide and influence. From modeling healthy behavior to addressing inappropriate conduct, we can all make a difference. We can help the next generation foster attitudes that promote healthy relationships, equality and respect. Changing beliefs that contribute to sexual violence starts with believing and supporting survivors of sexual violence when they share their stories: We should call out online victim-blaming comments or rape jokes. We can remind those around us that sexual assault is never the victim’s fault. Seemingly small actions like this make a critical impact. Freedom House services are available 24/7 through our hotline with trained advocates ready to assist victims of sexual violence. We respond to hospitals to assist victims through medical and legal procedures. We provide survivors with assistance in obtaining orders of protection, civil no contact orders, or stalking no contact orders. Freedom House offers counseling to survivors and significant others to help them cope with the feelings associated with the trauma of sexual assault. We are also able to provide professional trainings to law enforcement, civic groups, schools and health providers, and education presentations in schools.
FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Terri Simon white, waxy crayons. Today, the health department would probably tell you those eggs shouldn’t have been at room temperature all night long, but none of us ever died, got sick or even thought about some ailment we might have gotten from eating them. There was always a bowl of eggs on the dining room table too — nestled in Easter grass, we knew the Easter Bunny had left them for the adults in the family. Aside from eggs, candy and new clothes, there were always a few toys/treats too. Jacks, jump ropes, paddle balls which usually broke before noon, maybe a little stuffed rabbit or chick, kites, streamers for our bicycle handlebars — and of course, a bottle of bubbles.
A couple of years, we woke up to new baby chicks, chirping from inside a cardboard box and all nestled under a heat lamp — we had no idea they would be Sunday dinner in the weeks to come. One year, we each got a baby rabbit, which turned into a 4-H project. After our egg hunt, candy counting, church and Sunday school, a big Easter dinner was always planned. Ham and scalloped potatoes were always on the menu, along with a Jell-O salad, vegetables, deviled eggs and more. In the afternoon, the adults chatted and napped, and as kids, we spent the rest of the day playing outside with our new toys/treats — eating candy like there was no tomorrow. As I think back, those Easters from long ago hold many fond memories, all steeped in tradition. As kids, the day seemed abundant, but now as an adult, I tend to look at those Easters from the past in a different
light. While I now know how much of a financial strain those Easters probably were for the adults in my family, I have to think how much those same adults probably sacrificed to make the day special for us. Never did I see those adults with new Easter clothes or shoes to wear to church. Never did I see them with their own Easter treats or candy. Sure they ate a hard-boiled egg or two, but they sacrificed much for us — not just at Easter but nearly every day of the year. Easter is about sacrifices. We know the Easter story, and no greater sacrifice was ever made. As you celebrate your own Easter this year, I urge you to think about the sacrifices made for each one of us — not just from the past but also today. When we do so, it truly puts the Easter story into perspective.

Don’t be fooled by ‘penny for schools’ tax
A Missouri corporation is making a pretty penny helping to hike local sales taxes across Illinois. But in the process, it’s proving how local governments shirk responsibility to keep their spending in check. Ten years ago, Illinois passed a law authorizing the Illinois County School Facility Occupation Tax, or CSFT. This law allows elected school boards representing a majority of the county’s student population to place a sales tax hike referendum of up to 1 percent on the ballot. To pass, it requires a simple majority vote. And all that money has to go toward school facility projects. Odds are you’ve seen this question at the polls at some point over the past decade, as around 70 counties across Illinois have voted on this ballot question since 2007. Take Jackson County, where 57 percent of voters approved a 1 percent CSFT last October. That means families in Carbondale will pay an 11.75 percent sales tax on food and beverage items, and a 9.75 percent sales tax on other goods. Those rates rival those paid by families in Chicago, which is home to the highest sales tax in the nation among major cities. The fact these new sales taxes pile on to already-excessive tax burdens across the state is bad enough. (A March report from consumer finance website WalletHub found Illinoisans shoulder the nation’s highest state and local tax burden, at more than $8,100 annually for the median household.) But what well-meaning residents may not know about the CSFT is that a multibillion-dollar business based in Missouri – Stifel, Nicolaus & Co. – is often pulling the strings. A 2014 Illinois Policy Institute investigation found Stifel involvement in 12 of the 14 CSFT hikes in that year’s fall election cycle, and dozens more over the seven years prior. The company provided
COMMENTARY Austin Berg guidance to Jackson County officials last year. Stifel’s business model looks like this: employees trek across the state offering free consultation to school boards that want more money for their districts. Then they make a pitch to handle the lucrative bond business for the ensuing projects funded by the sales-tax hike. Nice work if you can get it. But nickel-and-diming tactics like the CSFT end up masking accountability for local spending decisions. They also show why a weak property tax freeze from Springfield won’t force local governments to get their spending under control. Look at Hillsboro, a small rural community about an hour south of Springfield and the seat of Montgomery County. Montgomery is one of Stifel’s latest targets. Last year, Hillsboro voters rejected a referendum to build a new high school at a cost of more than $60 million. Soon after, Stifel representatives showed up and persuaded Montgomery County Schools to put the CSFT on the ballot this spring. “There’s nothing left here to pay a new tax like this,” said Jeff Dunn, a Hillsboro small business owner. “Really good jobs that would support a family have left. All of our industry is gone now.” Hillsboro already levies a special telecommunications tax. And the local school district hiked its property tax levy by 55 percent from 2006 to 2015. “We have high unemployment, high poverty and a high number of residents on food stamps,” Dunn said. “That tax is a real burden on many people but it’s not enough for the school?” Biased advising from Stifel often leads to questionable claims
from local officials regarding the CSFT. One popular myth: If voters approve the sales tax hike, property taxes will go down. Don’t count on it. Just ask taxpayers in Champaign. Stifel, local school districts and the Champaign County Board promoted claims in 2009 that the sales-tax hike would result in lower property taxes in 13 Champaign County school districts. The CSFT passed in all of them. But only one of those school districts lowered property tax levies over the next five years. The other 12 districts raised property tax levies by an average of 22 percent as of 2014. And that’s on top of the new sales tax, which has taken tens of millions of extra dollars from Champaign County residents. While school districts can place CSFT referendums on the ballot every election, wearing down any opposition, voters can never initiate a referendum to repeal the tax once enacted. New local revenue across Illinois often serves to only prop up an unsustainable system, one where collective bargaining agreements ensure benefits far above what residents working in the private sector can expect, administrative pay continues to rise, and prevailing wage requirements inflate the cost of public projects. Part of the Illinois Senate’s failed “grand bargain” was a twoyear property tax freeze. But such a freeze means nothing without reforms to local government spending, and comprehensive changes to the roadblocks that protect residents from other tax and fee hikes like the CSFT. Without necessary safeguards, companies like Stifel are all too happy to take advantage of tax-hungry officials.

Enjoy the freshness of produce all year long when you preserve your food. One popular method of food preservation is pressure canning. Test your pressure canner dial gauge annually to ensure a safe food preservation season. The University of Illinois Extension will offer free pressure canner dial gauge testing walk-in clinics from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in Ottawa, Henry and Princeton. Clinics will be Friday, April 28, at the LaSalle County office, 1689 North 31st Road in Ottawa; Friday, May 5, at the Marshall-Putnam office, 509 Front St. in Princeton; and the Princeton clinic will be Friday, May 12, at the Bureau County office, 850 Thompson St. in Princeton. Participants should bring their pressure
canner lid with the dial gauge attached for testing. Remember, weighted pressure canners do not need to be tested. In addition, attend a class and food demonstration, Preserving Your Food, Canning, Freezing and Drying Seasonal Foods, offered at each clinic from 10 to 11 a.m. Susan Glassman, nutrition and wellness educator, will discuss the advantages of food preservation, different food preservation methods, and current, research-based food safety and handling procedures for successful food preservation. Whether you are a beginner or expert, you will gain knowledge about preserving delicious fruits and vegetables for culinary enjoyment throughout the year. Participants can also enjoy a sample of homemade strawberry jam and take home recipes. To register for the class, call the University of Illinois Extension at 815-224-0889.

HENRY
OTTAWA
Survivor registration open house Omicron chapter meets in Ottawa on April 15 at The Meeting Place HENRY — Are you a cancer survivor or know a loved one who is? A survivor registration open house will be from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, April 15, at the The Meeting Place in Henry for those who have not yet registered. Those who have already registered are invited to stop in, have some coffee and cinnamon rolls, and find out what is happening this year with the Relay event. You can register online at www.relayforlife.org. Those who registered in the past as a survivor will need to re-register each year. Relay For Life represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day
cancer will be eliminated. Relay For Life is a unique community event that allows individuals from all walks of life to join in the fight against cancer. It’s about being a community that takes up the fight. It is an event that raises cancer awareness and funds for research, education, advocacy, and patient service programs. Relay For Life is far more than a fundraising event for the American Cancer Society. The power of Relay is that it allows a community to grieve for those lost to cancer and to celebrate the lives of those who have survived. • For the newly diagnosed, Relay offers an opportunity to meet someone who has survived the same type of cancer. • For the cancer patient
in treatment, Relay provides an opportunity to share with others. • For the long-term survivor, Relay brings a community’s recognition of the struggle and closure to a trying time in life. Caregivers also find hope in Relay For Life. These individuals give their time, love, and support to friends, family and neighbors who face cancer. At Relay, everyone understands the challenges and joys of being a caregiver. There is peace of mind knowing that, together, we can face the challenges ahead. For more information about team fundraising events throughout the year, like us on Facebook. Relay For Life of Marshall and Putnam Counties will be June 10 in Henry.
