After one of the worst win-ters in recent memory, charginghigher prices to help people getaround is rubbing salt in thewounds.

Or, on the roads.Last winter was colder and

snowier than expected, andlocal governments used up a lotof rock salt as they plowedroads. There was no shortage ofsalt then or now, however, butprices nevertheless went up

considerably, arguably becausesalt is priced at what the marketwill bear.

Orders are up. Budgets willbe stretched. Some towns andtownships may have to borrowfrom different funds to pay forprices more than double whatwas anticipated.

“After the last winter we had,there is a heightened awarenessof the need for a reliable supplyof salt,” said Peoria County En-gineer Amy McLaren. “Manyagencies were ‘cut off’ late in

the last season, and their 2014-2015 orders reflect a consider-able increase from previousyear’s request.

“There are some agenciesstate-wide that are going to payover $100 per ton for salt,” sheadded. “The price for rock saltis up more than 80 percent inthe last six years, nationwide.”

U.S. production of rock saltwas up more than 10 percentlast year and Morton Salt, amajor supplier, sold more than


ROSEFIELD – A second lawsuittied to a long-running dispute inRosefield Township was filed lastweek, this one by former RoadCommissioner Mark Vicary and hiswife Megan Miller Vicary.

Like a lawsuit filed the previous

week by property owner Brad andSylvia Badgerow, it names theTownship and current Road Com-missioner Matt Windish, but it alsosues former Township SupervisorSteve Davis and three others who’vedone work for the Township: JohnForney, Robbie LaFollett and KevinWindish.

Also, in addition to claims like theBadgerows’ – about right-of-way,trespassing and property-damageclaims – the new suit accuses the de-fendants of invasion of privacy, civilconspiracy, intentional infliction ofemotional distress, slander, and ha-rassment.

There’s tasty food and changing foliageaplenty along the 47th annual Spoon RiverValley Scenic Drive and the 37th annualKnox County Scenic Drive, both being heldthis Saturday and Sunday (Oct. 4-5) and againon Oct. 11-12.

The annual road tours offer snacks and sidedishes, entrees and sandwiches, desserts andmore, all to makethe most antique-averse spouse quitcomplaining aboutcrafts booths andstart planning forthe next stop on one100-mile-plus routeor the other.

“We have about450 vendors thisyear,” Robbin Kost, Secretary of the SpoonRiver Scenic Drive Associates, told TheWeekly Post. “We’re looking forward to Ver-mont re-joining the drive, and I know peoplealways look forward to seeing different faces.

“But every stop you make will be greatfood,” she continues. “You can eat your wayalong the drive.”

That includes two local stops on the SpoonRiver Drive in Elmwood and Farmington,both of which will see some changes this year.

Before we moved to Elmwood,my then-Journal-Star-co-workerTerry Bibo offered great advice.

“Make sure you stop by Jor-dan’s,” she said, “that’s where youcan learn about anything that’sgoing on.”

Terry meant that as a compli-ment – as sort of a tribute to talka-tive stationowner Dave Jor-dan. Reportersappreciate folkswho can gatherinformation, andDave surely hadthat skill.

Every smalltown needs agathering place,and in Elmwood that place is Jor-dan’s Mobil. I often wondered howDave got any work done given thesteady stream of cronies who vis-ited him all day.

While the main crowd was gen-erally older men, Dave also knewhow to handle women and kids.

Time and again he’d give out freedonuts, candy, sodas ... it got towhere I told my boys to say, “Nothanks.”

Not that Dave listened. One dayour youngest came home with asucker and my wife was mad ...until she learned it was from “Mr.Jordan.” To this day, my spoiledchildren have a hard time passingJordan’s without reaching into apocket for money (generally mine).

Better than candy were the sto-ries. My favorite centered aroundcity staffers trying to locate a waterline. As the hole expanded, thefamed Shake Brothers – wearingtrademark overalls – stood along-side, watching silently.

Finally, a frustrated workerasked, “Do you know where theline is?”

A brother pointed a few feet inanother direction.

“Why didn’t you tell me thatfrom the start?” the worker huffed.

“You never asked.” That one always got a smile.

So did plenty of Jordan’s othermemories of people, places andevents in Elmwood. He loved thistown with a passion you’ll find infew others.

No wonder Dave served so manyroles, including more than 15 yearson the school board – a positionthat cost him business when thetime came to make unpopular deci-sions. Dave said that was just thecost of supporting the community.

Then again, he was never shywith opinions. And while I didn’talways agree, I sought and re-spected his council, was constantlyamazed at the wealth of informa-tion he gathered and deeply valuedhis friendship.

So did many, many others.That’s why this has been such atough week in town, and why fourhours was not enough time forTuesday’s visitation.

I used to do a lot of substituteteaching. It was a relatively easyjob that paid decently, but for themost part, I used it as a way to getmy foot in the door in case a dis-trict ever had anopening for anEnglish teacher.

Some districtswere great towork for. OthersI told I alreadyhad a sub jobthat day whetherI had one or not,depending onhow badly I needed the money.

I always enjoyed working at Al-Wood, Spoon River Valley, andGalva. Galesburg got told “no,” somuch that they began calling andasking if I was available beforeidentifying themselves.

I had one rule that was hard andfast. If I substituted for a districtand they had an opening for anEnglish teacher, then they’d bettermake sure I was interviewed for theposition. If I didn’t get an inter-view, the Cubs would have a betterchance of winning the World Seriesthan me subbing for that district.

If I wasn’t good enough to inter-view, I wasn’t good enough to sub. They could have at least taken ahalf hour to make me think I wasbeing considered, even if I wasn’t.

One district told me that theynever would consider hiring a subthat they used because subs weretoo hard to find. I told that districtsubs just became harder to find.

There was one area district withwhich I thought I had a good work-ing relationship. Their superintend-ent gave me a list of days which heknew they were going to need asub. I took them all, figuring thatI’d be first in line for a job, shouldone open up. One date was a work-shop where teachers from all overcentral Illinois would be gathering.Subs would be in big demand thatday, but Benny (as we’ll call him)asked first, so he got the date. In thecoming weeks, I turned down prob-ably five other offers for that date.

A couple weeks in advance of thedate, another school district calledwanting to interview me for anopen position. The superintendenttold me that I could sub for him andhe’d interview me during my plan-ning period. That sounded good,

but as it turns out, it was for thedate everyone else wanted.

I told the superintendent, whowe’ll call Beau, that I was alreadybooked that day, and he said, “Is itwith a district that is potentially of-fering you a job?”

That should have told me rightthere what kind of person he was,and I’m a little ashamed that I toldhim to let me think about it and getback to him.

I called Benny and explained tohim what had just happened. Ithought we had a good enough re-lationship that I could be honestwith him. I asked him what Ishould do, figuring he’d give me anhonest answer.

He told me that I had to do what-ever was best for me, but to re-member, I had PROMISED himthat I’d work for him. I told him I’dsee him on the date in question.

Now was not the time to lose myintegrity.

I called Beau back to tell him I’dbe working for Benny that day, butthanked him. He understood, anddid schedule me for an interview ona different day.

To the Editor:Just this side of Heaven is a

place called Rainbow Bridge.When an animal dies after havingbeen especially closeto someone here onEarth, that animalgoes to RainbowBridge.

There are mead-ows and hills whereall the animals runand play together. There is plentyof food and water plus lots of sun-shine. Our friends are warm andcomfortable.

Those who have been ill and oldare restored to health and vigor.Those who were hurt or maimedare made whole and strong again,just as we remember them in our

dreams of days gone by.The animals are happy, except

for one thing: They each misssomeone very special, someone

left behind. The daycomes when one ofthe animals stops andlooks into the dis-tance. He runs fromthe group, flying overthe green grass, hislegs carrying him

faster and faster. You have beenspotted!

When you and your specialfriend meet finally, you cling to-gether in joyous reunion. Happykisses rain upon your face. Yourhands caress the beloved head,and you look once more in to thetrusting eyes of your pet, so long

gone from your life but never ab-sent from your heart.

Then – cross the RainbowBridge together. Miss you Shorty.

BRIMFIELD – A Chillicotheman on Sept. 18 was ticketed formultiple moving violations afterthe semi tractor trailer rig he wasdriving nearly collided with a Has-selbacher school bus stopped onPrinceville-Jubilee Road, accordingto reports.

Frederick Becke, 33, was citedfor improper lane usage, failure toreduce speed, and approaching,overtaking and passing a schoolbus.

The bus, based in Brimfield, wassouthbound and stopped near theintersection with Chase Lane whena northbound grain truck ap-proached, swerved and went into aditch a few inches from the bus,police said.

The truck, a 1986 International,entered the ditch south of ChaseLane, ran over the road and duginto the ground on the north side ofthe ditch.

Becke told police that he’d beenbehind another northbound vehicleand near Grange Hall Road the carstopped and Becke then noticed thebus, stopped with lights blinkingand a stop arm deployed. But witha full load, Becke’s truck couldn’tsafely stop and the east-side shoul-der was so steep the semi wouldhave rolled over. So he made a

split-second decision to turn intothe west-side ditch, reports said.

There were no injuries, but thetruck was pulled from the ditch andtaken to the Jubilee Townshipbuilding nearby, where IllinoisState Police inspected the semi andfound no deficiencies.

Becke’s mandatory court date is9 a.m. on Oct. 20.Youngsters injured in Salem Twp. accident

GALLAGHER: Thanks for the kind words. NotBeau didn’t like me from the

time he laid eye on me. I didn’twear a beard or goatee, but didhave a handlebar moustache.

He began asking questions aboutother disciplines such as biologyand calculus, things that I didn’tknow anything about. He thoughthis teachers should be “wellrounded,” he explained.

He then started insulting myschooling (I graduated from KnoxCollege, magna cum laude) andsaid he didn’t have many teacherswithout Master’s degrees.

Finally, my moustache got thebetter of him and he said, “How am

I supposed to tell my school boardthat I want to hire a guy who lookslike Wyatt Earp?”

I didn’t get the job.But I did get the next one I ap-

plied for at another district. In thatinterview I dropped Benny’s nameas someone I had subbed for. Littledid I know that they’d call and askabout me. Had I known, I wouldn’thave been worried; I had demon-strated my integrity for him.

But, my new principal called measide the first week of school andtold me what Benny had said.

“Gallagher? He’s nothing special.He never really made an impres-sion on me, but I don’t think I’d

ever hire him. I can’t give you aspecific reason. I just don’t think Iwould.”

Benny must not have appreciatedmy honesty earlier in the year.

When our school played his in asport hat year, I ran into him andgot the chance to thank him. I lethim think the principal told me hegave a glowing recommendation. Icould see the tops of his ears get-ting redder and redder as I gushed.I thanked him for remembering myintegrity when it came to subbing.

It worked better than telling himwhat a low life sack of snail poop Ithought he was.

But I think he knew.

SALT: Sells for $53.77 to $95.95 per tonthree times the salt in 2013 as theprevious year. But there weren’tsalt shortages last year, accordingto a Popular Mechanics report.There were some delivery short-falls after stockpiles dwindled.

Rock salt is mined as ore fromdeep sites in Canada and the UnitedStates. Salt is loaded on bargesshipped up the Mississippi andOhio Rivers and then transportedvia trucks and trains to salt reposi-tories, including Morton Salt’s ter-minals in Chicago and Cincinnati.

“We have a problem that everytime there’s a really bad winter,there’s not enough salt at the rightlocation,” Salt Institute vice presi-dent Morton Satin told RebeccaBoyle. “If cities don’t order any-thing until the last moment ... well,if everything is working, then, tick-ety-boo. But if it’s not, it can be aproblem.”

Salt melts snow by lowering thefreezing point (though it’s not ef-fective below 18 degrees Fahren-heit). Government agencies buy itin bulk and store it in sheds, but it’sa challenge to guess how much willbe needed.

The State of Illinois’ Departmentof Central Management Services(CMS) coordinates bids from ven-dors, and local governments cantake part in what’s offered. For ex-ample, Peoria County has ordered16,000 tons at $80.65 per ton. The

county must take delivery of 80percent of that (12,800 tons), andmay ask for up to 120 percent(19,200 tons). It previously paid$47.51 per ton.

Peoria County townships andmunicipalities can buy from theCounty for $95.95 per ton.

“That covers our cost of auguringand placing the material into ourdomes, loading into the trucks andprocessing the paperwork,”McLaren said.

In suburban Chicago, Liber-tyville is paying $86.54 per tonfrom Morton Salt through CMS.Outside Cincinnati, the town ofAmberley (pop. 3,500) is paying$75.86 per ton from North Ameri-can Salt Co. (up from $47.91 perton from Morton last year).

Buyers through CMS have untilJune 15, 2015, to receive their min-imum or maximum under the con-tracted bids. From Dec. 1 throughnext April 1 that bid provides fordelivery with seven days of an

order, or else the supplier is “fined”20 cents per ton per day late, saidWayne Ilsley of CMS’s Bureau ofStrategic Sourcing.

At Kickapoo Township, RoadCommissioner Dan Kelch is notcounting on additional orders, andplans to conserve as much salt aspossible while making roads safe.

“We’ll probably focus on inter-sections, hills and curves with salt,and use slag or other products else-where,” he told The Weekly Post.

Knox County has the good luckof being in the renewal year of amulti-year bid with a low price of$53.77 per ton through Aug. 31,2015.

“I feel very fortunate,” said KnoxCounty Engineer Duane Rater-mann.

Indeed, Truro Township is buy-ing 150 tons from Knox Countybased on that CMS bid fromCargill, according to TownshipClerk Jeff Stiers, while CMS listsPersifer Township in Dahinda aspaying $93.48 per ton to Mortondirectly from CMS.

Fulton County is listed as paying$87.19 per ton to Morton, alsothrough CMS, but Farmington isset for this winter, according toCity Administrator Rollen Wright

“We hope to have enough salt onhand from last year that we will notneed to purchase any this year,”Wright said. “We purchase our saltthrough the State of Illinois.”

“Obviously, the Town-ship would deny theseallegations,” said attor-ney Brian Johnson, whohas represented Rose-field. “But since this ispending litigation, nofurther comment can bemade.”

Megan Miller Vicaryhas filed dozens of com-plaints with the PeoriaCounty Sheriff’s Office,which says it tried to ex-plain that her complaintswere not criminal, butcivil matters, or elsefound no evidence toprosecute incidents thatmay have been crimes.

In their lawsuit, theVicarys say, “There wasno request by anyone toremove trees along theroadway.”

The suit also claimsthat the County statedthat “there was no right

of way on WolfordRoad” and makes sev-eral other accusations.

Among those other ac-cusations, the suit:

• alleges that the Vic-arys and Badgerow were“verbally berated” at a2013 Township meeting;

• implies the defen-dants were involved invandalism on the Vic-arys’ outbuildings and inthree nearby fields;

• charges that Town-ship workers drove bythe Vicarys’ home, made“obscene gestures,”cursed, waved andlaughed at them and“made vulgar gestures”;

• accuses RobbieLaFollett of “violently”confronting them (al-though the PeoriaCounty Sheriff’s Jan. 23report on that incidentmakes no mention ofany violence and notes

that “LaFollett left theresidence when asked”),and blames KevinWindish for “angrily”confronting Mark Vicaryabout Megan reportingthe workers as responsi-ble for the supposedvandalism; and

• infers the defendantswere tied to a dozenfalse zoning complaintsanonymously madeagainst the Vicarys.

Contacted by TheWeekly Post, Miller Vic-ary declined to com-ment, referringquestions to her attor-ney, Chris Ryan, whodid not return multiplevoicemail messages.

The Township’s attor-ney Johnson in Decem-ber sent Miller Vicary aletter advising her that“intimidation, threaten-ing public officials, andfalse reporting of crimesare all criminal of-fenses.”

But she responded byfiling another complaintwith the Sheriff’s Officethat she was being ha-rassed.

Tyler Meyers, ElmwoodFour-year Elmwood harrier, hoopster, and trick-

ster Tyler (TJ) Meyers is an athlete and student(National Honor Society, Drama, Speech, ArtClub, Key Club, Student Council and tenor sax inthe EHS band) of tremendous endurance ... obvi-ously! Actually, as one cansee, there isn’t much Tylerisn’t in!

Much of this began forTyler with the encouragementof his parents Gregg andJanelle Meyers, in fifth gradeat Elmwood Elementary. Inthat grade, he jumped rightinto cross-country, basketballand track. When playing hoops, Tyler most likesto stop the other team from scoring with his longarms and legs. When he runs distance, his favoritepart is the middle because it’s when he can bestpass opponents.

TJ is a Duke University fan when it comes tocollege basketball. Art is his favorite school sub-ject. Upon graduation, Tyler will miss teachersand friends (of which he has many). At present,he’s undecided as to where to go to college andwhat to study next year. But there’s no doubt Tylerwill stay very busy and endure, as he does atEHS!

WIGHT: No end dateset for football co-opto Wight, who has playedfootball since he was 7,starting in flag and tacklefootball as part of Brim-field’s JFL program.

Wight has started atsafetyand hasplayedcorner-back,specialteamsand as aback-uprunningback and wide receiver.

“Garrett is a goodplayer, aggressive, workshard, and does what he’stold to do,” said BenRees, the third-year headcoach at Mid-County,who had been an assis-tant since 2002. “Therehas been talk of droppingWilliamsfield from theco-op, but as long asthey have someone who

wants to play football wewant to keep them in theco-op.”

Mid-County has 38players out for footballthis year, which is aboutaverage, Rees said.

And while Billtown’snumbers are not verylarge, Rees said he feelsthe co-op has been suc-cessful because “the kidshave gelled together welland if you came out onour field, you wouldn’tbe able to tell who’sfrom Galva or ROWVAor Williamsfield.”

Mid-County’s otherwin came against NorthFulton (46-23). The teamhas also suffered a heart-breaking loss againstKnoxville (20-19) andlosses against traditionalLincoln Trail powersStark County (24-7) andMercer County (38-15).

Blowout FridayArea football teamsoutscore foes 147-60

Wight lone Billtownfootball player forMid-County By JEFF LAMPE

Weekly Post Staff Writer

Backups got to see significant time, running backsrolled up huge yardage and points piled up last Fridayfor area football teams in an evening of blowouts.

Elmwood-Brimfield, Farmington and Princeville wonby a combined score of 147-60 and all took steps to-ward playoff berths with easy wins. Here’s a recap.

Elmwood-Brimfield 41, West Prairie 12MACOMB – Playing with the benefit of excellent

field position for most of the first half at Western Illi-nois University, the Trojans (4-1, 2-0 Prairieland)scored five touchdowns while racking up fewer than200 yards by halftime.

Layne Wyatt scored three times, once on a 65-yardpunt return, and E-B had a command-ing 35-0 lead at the break. Wyatt fin-ished with 78 yards on just 8 carriesand Donovan McCoy had 64 yardsand a touchdown on his 8 carries.

“We just didn’t need to have manylong drives,” E-B coach Todd Hollissaid. “Defensively we were reallygood. You never know when you facean option. But we were fine from thestart.”

The Trojans starting offense sat theentire second half, giving backups achance to shine. Tommy Bowers had31 yards and a fourth quarter TD toclose the scoring.

Colton Fales led the Trojans with 13tackles. West Prairie (3-2, 2-1) had astrong drive to open the second halfand then returned a fumble 23 yards forits other score.

Next up for the Trojans is a home game Fridayagainst winless Beardstown (0-5, 0-3), which lost itstop running back last week.TWP Pick: Elmwood-Brimfield 46-0

Farmington 64, Havana 26HAVANA – When Havana ganged up on Max Bal-

agna, Farmington quarterback Steven Gilstrap simplykept the ball himself. When Havana tried to key onGilstrap, the quarterback pitched to Balagna.

The end result was impressive for the Farmers’ toptwo rushers, who combined for 508 yards on 26 carries.That included five touchdown runs by Balagna andthree by Gilstrap, who also had a 94-yarder in the sec-ond quarter.

“They really overloaded their defense to take Maxaway, which was a smart move on their part,” Farming-ton coach Toby Vallas said. “But our stuff is all option-oriented and Steven pulled it several times and had

After months of waiting – andgrumbling, in the case of many –Illinois bowhunters headed backinto the timber for Wednesday’sarchery deer season opener.

They did so after the most con-troversial deer hunting season of themodern era, a season that has cyn-ics and optimists alike payingclose attention to this fall.

Archery season runs throughJan. 18, youth firearm season isOct. 11-13 and the first shotgunseason is Nov. 21-23. Users of Ju-bilee College State Park are re-

minded that hunters are now inthe park.

What about deer? Will the har-vest rebound from last year’smarked downturn? Will Illinoiswildlife biologists be vindicated?

Or will groups like the IllinoisWhitetail Alliance gain an evenstronger foothold?

Time will tell. What we doknow is that early October canoffer a brief chance for hunters toharvest a trophy since bucks arestill following summer patterns.

Odds are, some hunter willshoot a trophy buck in the firstfew days of bow season. With that

in mind, Heartland Outdoors is of-fering a $50 prize for the bestbuck shot Oct. 1-4. Email picturesto [email protected].

After that, it’s a long wait untilHalloween when diehards – andharvest charts – tell you huntingfor big bucks starts again inearnest as the rut approaches.

Good news this year is there ap-pears to have been little impactfrom EHD after two years ofwidespread losses to the disease.

Still to be seen is how muchcorn will be standing in Novem-ber, as harvest is well behind aver-age due in part to a bumper crop.

A CO-OP OF ONE

Football is a game ofnumbers and onestands out when con-sidering the Mid-County co-op.

One. As in one var-sity player fromWilliamsfield out forMid-County, whichalso consists ofROWVAandGalva.

Thegoodnews forMid-County(2-3) is that the player,junior Garrett Wight, isa contributor and alsocoming off his bestgame, a 39-2 win overRidgewood.

Wight carried eighttimes for 164 yards andtwo touchdowns andhad an interception.

Such is the busy lifefor the son of Alan and

Kathy Wight, who alsoplays baseball and bas-ketball, is vice presi-dent of the KnoxCounty 4-H roboticsteam, a member of Stu-dent Council,Williamsfield Choir,junior class treasurerand, to top it all off, hasa cumulative 4.0 GPA.

When asked why hethinks he’sthe onlyfootballplayer fromWilliams-field, Wightsaid, “it’s abig-time

commitment and wehave no feeding pro-gram to funnelWilliamsfield kids intohigh school football. Ijust need to talk tosome of the potentialplayers on an individ-ual basis and tell themwhat a worthwhile ex-perience it’s been.”

Added Wight, “I’m

just glad they have aco-op so I can play.It’s been a good experi-ence no matter whoI’m playing for.”

Mid-County prac-tices and plays the firstfive weeks in Galvaand then spends five

weeks in Oneida. Eachday after school, Wightand five Billtown jun-ior high players board abus that transportsthem the 25 minutes toGalva or Oneida.

Travel is nothing new
