MAPLE LANE COUNTRY CLUB TURNS 50

By JEFF LAMPEWeekly Post Staff Writer

ELMWOOD – When he firstmoved to town, Vince Hulslanderwent into Farmers State Bank plan-ning to borrow $2,000 to pay off thepurchase of a house.

Late bank president Bob Lott hadother ideas.

“He told me, ‘I’ll do better than$2,000. I’ll give you $3,000, but$1,000 has to go to the country clubwe’re working on,” said Hulslander,who moved to Elmwood from An-nawan to work in the Peabody CoalCo. mine in Rapatee.

That was back in 1966 whenMaple Lane Country Club was still aconcept and the golf course that nowgraces the old farm was still beingplanted in beans or corn.

Hulslander agreed with Lott’s pro-posal and was one of the first 100

members who joined the club, whichwould take its name thanks to a longlane bordered by tall maples that ledto a historic farmhouse.

That original group of membershelped bring to fruition the ideas ofRichard Whitney, Lott and a fewother Elmwood citizens. The planwas to purchase an old farm andhouse north of town to provide a

family recreation center that wouldinclude a swimming pool, fishinglake, golf course, tennis court andclubhouse. By enlisting members, theorganizers raised enough money topurchase the property for $35,000 onApril 26, 1966.

The farm had originally belongedto Daniel Hurff, who around 1860

FARMINGTON – The Farmington CityCouncil accepted a bid from Stark Excavat-ing, Inc. to begin construction on a parking lotat South Main Street in its regular meeting onMonday.

“The USDA would pay 75 percent up to the$100,000 [grant cap] and the city would pickup 25 percent plus anything that is over the$100,000 amount,” said City AdministratorRollen Wright.

The council received at least one additionalbid for the project but chose Stark’s proposalof a six-inch concrete surface – estimated at$116,675 – instead of a blacktop bid of$94,692.85, Wright said.

“In my mind, concrete is stronger; it’s a nobrainer,” said Alderman Matt Ulm. “I’m inthe construction industry and I know that’s apretty good deal.”

BRIMFIELD – Given a summer-lightagenda, Brimfield trustees breezed throughMonday’s regular meeting and focused onaverting problems later.

They pondered a potential park board.They began discussion on licensing ATVsand golf carts. And they agreed to spend upto $60,000 to replace a 12-year-old truckwith a model which could serve multiple pur-poses such as snow removal.

“It would be a heavier truck,” said Presi-dent Dan Fishel, who had proposed the ideaas part of the 2016-2017 budget. “I’m think-ing we’re going to stay with the red and havea Cardinals’ emblem on each door...”

MAPLE LANE: Pool opened June 25, 1967built the structure that isnow the clubhouse. Thatfarmhouse has been a hubof community activity forthe past 50 years, an an-niversary that will be cele-brated this Friday andSaturday. The two-daycelebration for membersand their guests includesgolf, a live band, an houror two of drinks sold at1960s prices and a potluckdinner.

Potluck meals were amainstay inthe early daysof the club, according tohistorical research com-piled by Steve Conklin ofElmwood. Work partieswere organized regularlyand generally ended witha meal and social hour.

At first, projects wereplentiful, from pullingfenceposts to removingold farm buildings toplanning a pool that

would open on June 25,1967, at a cost of$62,146.79. Betty De-Wolfe was head lifeguard.

Along the way, Hulslan-der said he and othermembers spent long hoursvolunteering. That in-cluded original officers:president Lester Hudson,vice president Dr. LeeHammond, secretaryHelen Foose and treasurerRobert Reich.

In its first year as a club,the golf course was stillplanted in beans, whichwere insured against hailat $100 per acre, accord-ing to Conklin’s research.

After some discussionabout purchasing an addi-tional 70 acres to build an18-hole golf course, mem-bers opted instead for a 9-hole course, whichrequired the purchase of 9more acres.

The golf course was

seeded in September of1967 and five holes wereready for play in thespring of 1968.

The old farm place pre-sented unique hazards, ac-cording to Hulslander.

“When you teed off onNo. 5, if you hooked itjust right, you hit thesilo,” Hulslander said.

Eventually, the silo wastorn down, as was an oldbarn and hog house.

In time, the other holeswere finished and golf be-came a mainstay for menand women. For instance,in October of 1970, BettyRamsay, Judy Pattersonand Dorrie Zarley re-quested that women’sleague be changed toTuesdays from Saturdayafternoon. Today, theShady Ladies still playleague golf on Tuesdays.

Among the other attrac-tions of today’s countryclub is its fishing lake.Members approved con-struction in November of1966 and the 3.5-acre lakewas built with a dam thatwas 19 feet high and 20feet wide and that cost$5,200.

Fish stocking has con-tinued over the years anda professional survey thisspring revealed a very

healthy population of bigbluegill and redear sun-fish, sizable catfish andplenty of largemouth bass.

Gatherings at the club-house have also alwaysbeen popular, said DimitriBeres, a former past presi-dent. Membership hasgrown from 100 to its cur-rent level of close to 250.

“Socially we are stillvery active,” he said.“Times change and the ac-tivities change, so some ofthe original activities likethe anniversary dance andLas Vegas night havegone away. They havebeen replaced by comedynight and other things.”

Another change in-cludes dances.

“We used to have musicyou could actually danceto,” Hulslander said. “Allthe kids want to do now isstand there and have loudmusic playing.”

Despite that, he said thecountry club has had avery positive impact onElmwood and surround-ing communities.

“It has helped a lot, noquestion about that,” Hul-slander said. “It’s broughtpeople (into Elmwood)and they’ve spent a littlemoney.”

And had plenty of fun.

Rambling through central Illinoispondering bats.

uuuSitting in the Elmwood square on

Saturday, Dave Harmon summed upthe moment best.“I’m not a bigjazz fan, butthese guys are re-ally good,” Har-mon said, inbetween talk ofhis plans for nextwinter’s ice rink.The trumpetquartet “FourOther Brothers” was indeed one ofseveral highlights during last week-end’s sunny Strawberry Festival.For the second straight June,weather for Elmwood’s big springevent was perfect and the crowdsresponded. Strawberry delicacies ofall sorts sold out by 2 p.m. as didmost other food stuffs.

uuuAll in all, the Strawberry Festi-

val’s blend of cool cars and goodfood was a perfect kickoff for eventseason, which continues this Satur-day with the wildly successful MyPlace St. Jude extravaganza in YatesCity. The 14th annual event contin-ues to raise huge sums for St. Jude(a record $108,113 last year) thanks

largely to the passionate leadershipof organizers Jody McKinty andSharon Coykendall. A big draw is the5 p.m. auction, which features a lit-tle bit of everything and anythingyou might want. Breakfast is servedstarting at 7 a.m. and the event willlast well into the evening. Stop by tohelp a good cause. ... The weekend’sother big event – Smoke on thePrairie in Brimfield – won’t happendue to unfortunate circumstancesthat have impacted organizer JoshHelms and his family. So you haveto look elsewhere to smell and sam-ple world-class barbecue.

uuuFawn season is here and with it

comes an annual admonition: Leavefawns alone even if momma deer isnot right there. She is coming back.Or standing a few feet away, wait-ing for your to leave her fawn alone.So do that. You do not need to help.As Pat Hanley puts it, “We don’tneed something like what happenedto the buffalo in Yellowstone.” ...Closer to home, it never fails toamaze me just how many bats youcan see circling the skies as duskapproaches. Birds head to bed andbats emerge from all over – includ-ing more of the neighbor’s homesthan you might expect. Spend asummer evening scanning the skies

as the sun sets and look for the er-ratic flight of bats catching bugs. Ipromise you will see a show youdidn’t expect. ... Our grumpy snakeMilky Jr. shed her skin, ate a mouseand has not bit anyone in days!

uuuAlumni football games don’t usu-

ally intrigue me much, but some-how seeing Peoria County Boardmember Brian Elsasser, 57, compet-ing for Princeville at Stark Countyon July 22 has piqued my interest.The game is scheduled for 7 p.m.and proves you can still play foot-ball after high school. Well, we’llsee about that, actually. ... Mit Berespasses along thanks to all helpedwith the Elmwood Memorial Dayevent and to all the 300 or so folkswho attended. ... Folks at the LoradoTaft Museum are planning to sell afew non-Taft related historical items(books, Elmwood High Schoolyearbooks and much more) fromJune 18-25 at Elmwood’s Morrison& Mary Wiley Library during nor-mal hours. ... Parting shot: The Bel-mont is Saturday. We had a garagesale last weekend and racked up adecent homey-roll of $1s. Would itbe irresponsible to bet it all on Exag-gerator? Not in my world.

Harvest Home FestivalFUND RAISER DINNER

Thursday, June 16MEXICAN BUFFET, Dessert & Drink

$9At Yates City Community Center

Dinner Served 4:30-7 p.m. (Dine in or Carry out)

Imagine a kid, the sonof a blue-collar family,growing up on the meanstreets of a city. He’s astreet fighter who’s beenin a thousand of them andwon most. He grows upand becomes alawyer but neverforgets the alter-cations of hisyouth.

There’s an-other kid wholearned to box,this time usingthe Marquess ofQueensberryrules of the“gentleman’s’ game” ofboxing. This kid neveractually boxed in a ring,and certainly not on thestreet, and, due to hisfamily’s wealth, neverhad to. He boxed for ex-ercise. This boy grows upto be a hedge-fund man-ager.

While not a preciselycorrect comparison, onemight think of these twoas Michael Madigan,Speaker of the House,and Bruce Rauner, Gov-ernor, respectively. Notonly are they of oppositepolitical parties, theyloathe each other person-ally and professionally.

The street fighter asSpeaker has overcomemessy democracy in the

Illinois House and ruleswith an iron hand, thanksin part to his (almost)veto-proof majority.

The street fighter caresmuch less about policythan power, often using

his leverage sim-ply to express hisdominance; thehedge fund man-ager has neverheard the word“no” as he ruledover his large fi-nancial empire.“Of course,” hethinks, “I can fixthe financial prob-

lems of Illinois. After all,I’ve learned how to makemoney so I should haveno problem showing mystate how to save it.”

I don’t think he listensto his advisors and maynot care what anybodythinks besides his hedgefund buddies.

After observing the leg-islature for the last twodays of the regular ses-sion, I’m convinced ourcurrent budget quagmire,at least over the past twolegislative sessions, canbe reduced to this fightbetween two power-hun-gry and stubborn men,playing king of the hillover the future of thestate and its citizens.

No budget was passed.

So what happened?• Budget working

groups of back-benchersnegotiated toward abudget but were ignoredby leadership.

• Some other signifi-cant legislation was sentto the governor. We’ll seewhat he does with it.

• Last year the legisla-ture sent Rauner a“clean” education billwhich he signed (he hasalways been a strong ad-vocate for education).This year Democrats,pressuring Rauner to signa budget, have repeatedlysaid they wouldn’t pass aseparate ed. budget but“hold it hostage” soRauner would have tosign the whole thing. So,nothing was passed foreducation.

• Madigan rammed abudget through the Housethat was at least $6 or 7billion out of balance.The Senate gave it only17 votes and Rauner hasrepeatedly said he’d veto,in its entirety, any budgetthat wasn’t balanced. Bal-ancing a budget will haveto include new revenue,which neither side wantsto do (and own) in anelection year. (Those Sen-ate Dems who did notvote for Madigan’sbudget might be the van-guard of a revolt againstthe Speaker?)

• Both sides, each exco-riating the other, haveproposed a “stopgap”budget lasting throughDecember, the remainderof the fiscal year to be ne-gotiated after fall elec-tions. To me that meansan income tax increase,maybe retroactive to July1, 2016. If the fight is agame of chicken, the“stop gap” is chickeningout.

Republican Rauner isthe newcomer and his“turnaround agenda” iscertainly good for busi-ness, but ignores theneeds of ordinary Illinoiscitizens.

Over the last year many

social services have beencut, many providers goneout of business, but serv-ices to the poor are rela-tively invisible to mostIllinoisans. To Madigan,are they a concern or ameans to holding and in-creasing his personalpower? Education is notout of sight.

Jim Broadway, re-spected legislative ob-server and chronicler ofIllinois education policy,is convinced that the endof the regular sessionmeans nothing as far asbudget negotiations areconcerned because therehas to be a tax increaseand Madigan won’t do abudget without signifi-cant Republican support.

Maybe more pre-sciently, my friend JimNowlan says no progresscan be made until bothmen are gone. Only thenwill Illinois begin tosolve its problems.

Both these pundits be-lieve this fight has tocome to a head before thebeginning of school thisfall. If schools can’t open(and many can’t withoutstate aid and therefore astate budget), there willbe blood on the moon.That simply can’t happen.

We’ll have to see. Godonly knows.

He paused, lookedaround the room and said,“Or not.”

A park board or com-mittee has been men-tioned before. Boardattorney Rick Johnsontried to help trustees pindown its scope.

“What all do you wantthis park committee todo?” Johnson said.“Build? Hire?”

Fishel said the idea is toalleviate some responsi-bility for park functions.Members would be ap-pointed each year, withterms staggered to ensurecontinuity. He said a pro-posal will be created fordiscussion next month.

Trustees will also taketime in July to discussregulation of ATVs andgolf carts. Village clerk

Holly Johnson referredthem to ordinances inElmwood and Chillicothewhich are online.

“Who’s going to inspectthe carts?” said RickJohnson. “Who’s going toenforce all that?”

“We’re not trying tocreate an issue. We’re try-ing to get ahead on it,”Fishel said.

Along the same proac-tive line, Fishel said he

has driven the streets ofBrimfield and noticed 20to 30 vehicles whichcould be a problem.

“We’ve got vehicles onblocks and all kinds of sit-uations,” he said.

He asked trustees tohave a look and perhapstake notes so the situa-tions can be addressedsystematically.

WILLIAMSFIELD – Thanks to a$239,000 state grant, the Village is finish-ing a water system upgrade required bythe Illinois Environmental ProtectionAgency, but a $15,000 update to thewater plant’s technology may require anincrease in local water rates.

“It’s an expensive operation,” said Vil-lage President Mick Gray said during theVillage Board meeting Monday. “And wehave to keep up.”

The Village faces paying to replace ob-solete water-system computer and elec-tronics equipment without state help. Thecommunity’s 250-some water customersmake up a logical source for funds, theBoard agreed. Williamsfield’s minimummonthly rate for water, garbage, sewerand recycling is about $42. The Villageraised rates slightly last year to pay itspart of the state-funded project. If theBoard approves an increase July 5, rev-enues would be earmarked for the new$15,000 work.

“If we do this, we’d hope to pay offthat in a year and a half or so,” Gray said.

In other financial news, the first month

of the new Fiscal Year had no surprises,with almost $11,000 in revenues and$14,400 in expenditures in the GeneralFund, and $17,000 in revenue and$16,000 in expenditures in Waterworks –which includes almost $3,000 in ex-penses for the water tower loan. But toavoid future surprises from the state,Gray warned of temporary cutbacks.

In other news, • The last work for the water grant proj-

ect isn’t yet scheduled. G.A. Rich & Sonsfrom Deer Creek and Corrpro fromStreamwood, will repair a corroded un-derground pipe and related work, and willneed three or four days, during which thewater tower must be drained.

• the Board postponed buying a smalltractor. Trustee Jim Folger has said esti-mates are more than $40,000.

• Progress has been made with a coupleof unsightly properties as owners didmowing after the Village sent notices.

• The Board unanimously approved theroutine renewal of paying PrevailingWages for tax-funded capital projects.

• Doubet-Benjamin Park has a workday at 9 a.m. Saturday, June 18, and anice-cream social from 1-3 p.m. June 26.

Pruning a top late-spring garden choreBy RON DIETERFor The Weekly Post

When I head out theback door each morningon my way to the mail-box, I walk through thegardens and always seeseveral projects that needtending. I make a mentallist as I collect the mailand newspaper. Making alist is easy; rememberingit is tougher. It’s a longwalk from the mailbox tothe back door.

Pruning is the firstchore on the list. Shrubsthat bloom in the spring,such as forsythia andlilac, should be prunedjust after their flowershave faded. Theseshrubs, especially for-sythia, look much betterwith an annual pruning.We have several thatneed a trim.

Our forsythia bushesare about six years oldand nearly five feet high.The last couple of sea-sons they have had “badhair days,” sending sev-eral wild branches thatextend way beyond thebush itself, looking ratherunkempt.

Now I like my bushesto look kempt, so a fewclips with a sharp shearsshould do the trick. In afew more years the for-sythia will become over-grown and I will cutthem off just above theground to start them over.

They will recoverquickly because they’llhave a large mature rootsystem supporting thenew growth.

By the way, forsythia iseasy to propagate. Sim-ply bury the tips of someof the lower branchesand they will quicklytake root. In the fall youcan cut them free fromthe mother plant andmove them.

As for lilacs my fa-vorite variety is ‘MissKim,’ which, if left un-touched by clippers orshears, grows to six feethigh and wide or more.Without any pruning,‘Miss Kim’ bloomspretty well if planted infull sun and to a lesserdegree in partial shade.

However, if I clip awaythe faded flowers beforethey set seed, I will getmany more blooms nextseason. Timing is critical.Pruning must be done be-fore seeds form.

The fragrant flowers of‘Miss Kim’ remind me ofthe big bouquets of lilacsthat graced myGrandma’s dining roomtable in the springtimesof my youth.

Once you get into thegarden with clippers inhand, it’s easy to get car-ried away and start hack-ing at everything. Keepthose shears away fromshrubs that bloom in thesummer. If you prunethem now you will re-move the summer flow-ers.

Wait until late winteror early spring to pruneand shape hydrangeas,spireas, bottlebrush buck-eye, caryopteris andninebark, to name a few.

If you prune out ofturn, you won’t kill theplant. You’ll simply losesome blossoms for oneseason.

But keep the pruningsaws away from oaktrees. Oak trees shouldonly be pruned duringthe winter. A fresh cutnow on an oak tree willcause it to “bleed” sap.The odor of the sap will

attract beetles which maycarry the spores of oakwilt fungus.

An oak tree infectedwith this fungus cannotbe cured and quicklydies. To make mattersworse, the root systemsof nearby oak trees maybe joined to those of theinfected tree and thus be-come infected also. This

disease is called “sudden oak death” forgood reason.

Next on my list is dividing and mov-ing daffodil bulbs. I have described theprocedure for you in an earlier column,but I mention it now because the foliagehas already or soon will be fading, andthe clumps will become difficult to find.

We have already divided severalclumps but there are more to be dug andrelocated. Remember, don’t remove thefoliage from daffodils and tulips until itbegins to turn yellow.

Our garden also has several perenni-als that need moving. The perennialgeraniums and corydalis are crowdingour globe blue spruce. If we don’t movethem away, they will shade the sides ofthe spruce causing it to drop its needles,creating bare spots that won’t recover.

Recently I noticed slug damage onour silver-leafed brunnera, ‘Jack Frost.’So a slug bait application becomes an-other chore on the list. Why is it thatslugs, rabbits and deer always go afterthe expensive plants? A gardener friendof mine believes that these varmints canread, so he always removes the pricetags when he sets out new plants.

Not every item on my list is a chore,however. Harvesting strawberries, as-paragus, lettuce, onions and rhubarb isactually fun. We’ve already had a cou-ple rhubarb pies and we enjoy rhubarbsauce and strawberries on our morningoatmeal.

Life is good.

PRINCEVILLE: Bats were hot against Fishertitle game, but was hurt bythree unearned runs, twoin the fourth inning andone in the fifth.

Princeville had its bestchance in the fifth asMadison Roe and JessicaDevries both singled. ButBaalman got two strike-outs to end the threat.

Natalie Cokel then sin-gled in the sixth but Baal-man again responded, thistime by striking out theside.

That was a very differ-ent outcome than thesemifinal, when Prince-ville slugged its way pastFisher in a 7-1 win. TheLady Princes had 10 hitsand just three strikeoutsand belted four for extrabases.

After going scorelessfor three innings, Prince-ville scored twice in thefourth inning on singlesby Cokel, Paige Lane andRoe, who drove in two.

in center field – her sixthhomer of the season.

EAST PEORIA – Defense may be thekey to titles in some sports, but at thehighest levels of softball, pitching winschampionships.

Princeville had a very good pitcher thisseason in senior Paige Lane, who rackedup a 27-3 record and helped boost herteammates within one game of a state

champi-onship.

Unfortu-nately for theLady Princes,top-rankeddefendingstate champHardin Cal-houn (40-2)has GraceBaalman – adominanthurler whoearned a spot

in the record books at this year’s Class1A state tournament. Baalman struck outan IHSA record 39 batters in an epic, 4-0, 17-inning semifinal victory last Fridayagainst Trico.

Any thoughts she would be slowed inthe title game one day later were castaside early, as Baalman (35-2) was againthe difference in Saturday’s 3-0 Class 1A

championship win against Princeville.“We knew she was going to be tough

to hit. We tried a few things early. Wewanted to see how she was feeling, if shewas tired, and she wasn’t,” Princevillecoach Chad Gardner told the Peoria Jour-nal Star. “She was throwing the ballwell.”

The 6-foot-2 Baalman fanned 16 LadyPrinces in the game and limited

Princeville to three hits – which is a con-siderable feat against a lineup that allseason bashed opponents en route to a34-4 record. Princeville’s only othershutout came against Class 3A semifinal-ist Washington.

A University of Kentucky recruit,Baalman finished with 55 strikeouts in24 innings tournament innings.

So ended a historic run for the

Princeville softball team, which joins the1975 Class 1A runnerup football team asthe lone programs to bring home statehardware.

And make no doubt, despite Baalmanthrowing BBs, the Lady Princes werevery much in this title game.

Illinois Central College recruit Lane al-lowed just four hits and fanned 12 in the

Lady Princes celebrate second-place 1A finish
